HIGH SCHOOL SCHOLARS
APOLOGIZE
Statement Made by the Seniors Who
Participated in the Curling Party OF
February End.

To the Superintending School Com
mittee of the Town of Skowhegan and
to Ralph " Leighton Principal OF
the Skowhegan High School:
The undersigned members of the
class of 1914, desire to make the fol-
lowing statement in regard to the ac-
ton of the class on the night and
morning of February ? and 3, last
past. We realize that in entering and
disarranging the High School Build
ing. we were in error. While at the
time. the members of the class who
were engaged therein, individually
and as a class. felt they were simply
perpetuating a custom that had OBJ
tanned in the school for many years
and that they were doing only that
which a little time and labor would
set right, we now realize that we
overlooked the real seriousness OF
what we did.
That which was done in spirit OF
fun and good feeling, was really VI
olation of the command of those in
authority over us. While at the time
we did not really consider this phase
of the matter, we now recognize and
freely and voluntarily admit the error
of disobedience.
We have the best interest of our
school at heart and feel that without
harmony and good feeling between
the officials, teachers and students the
true success of school cannot obtain.
We further feel that the first step IN
repairing wrong is for the one in err
ror to realize his fault. and the second
to confess it. Therefore realizing and
freely confessng our fault we hereby
tender our sincere apologies to you
and in token thereof have hereunto
signed our individual names.
The above apology, copies of which
were sent to the principal of the High
School and the school board on Feb
ruary %. had not, up to the hour 1t
was submitted for publication, Eyes
terday afternoon) been acknowledged
by them There seems to have been
nothing about the curling party Incl
dent. for which this apology was made,
that indicates any vicious intent by
those taking part, nor did damage to
property result therefrom. The pun
ishment imposed by the authorities
does not prevent the graduation OF
any one, or granting of diplomas, but
it does among other things prohibit
the students concerned from particl-
pating in the graduating exercises. 1t
is highly desirable that the facts con-
corning this matter should be made
public. and even if in this brief state
ment we have repeated some hereto
fore announced, it can do. no harm.
This apology and brief summary IS
published at the suggestion of friends
of the members of the class of 1914.
