LACK POINTS, GET DIPLOMAS

Principal Declines to sign Diplomas,

cation Determine TO Issue

Twelve Omaha High school graduates

test OF Principal Kate McHugh and with
out her signature. The case OF these stu
dents was taken before the committee
on teachers and instructions OF the
Board of Education. and the committee
held the students were entitled TO Eradu-
ate. Miss McHugh asked TO be excused
from signing the diplomas. These
diplomas have not yet been prepared.
Miss McEIugh's protest arose over the
Interpretation OF a rule requiring stu.
dents to take the whole years work In
''one-year studies" The teachers COM
mittee held that the rule meant merely
that the students should show good faith
In taking the years work, but that failure
In the second semester did not diHbar the
student from graduating, provided sur
ficient credits had been made, and the
first scmester's work was satisfactory.
,, Tufns ON Thirty Points.
In Miss McHugh's opinion the rule
means that a pupil shall pass in the
study the second semester and secure the
full years credits. Thirty credits are
necessary to graduation from the Omaha
High school. The students in question
do not have thirty points to their crdeit
unless given fuil-yesr credit for one
semester work.
Miss McHugh did not refuse 10 sign
the diplomas. but asked that she be ex-
oused, She said that she did not under
stand the rule as the committee under
stood It and since the committee had
authority to graduate the pupils over her
protest she desired TO take no further
action In the matter.
The twelve students were authorized by
the committee to participate in the grad
uating exercises and were told by the
committee that their diplomas would be
given them as soon as they could be pre-
pared. The question came up two OF

Hanson had built the house and barn and
