Boone. April 15.-At the meeting OF
the board Of education the question OF
dancing at the junior reception this
year was discussed. Prof. c. C. Ball,
the principal Of the school was present
at the meeting and stated that he had
announced to the class that the old
ruling. said to be on the school laws,
would be enforced, against dancing.
This announcement to the class was
made several weeks ago. Some of the
members who enjoy dancing felt that
since they were paying the bills they
should be allowed to dance, that it was
the custom. etc. to permit dancing at
the annual junior reception, and they
wanted the privilege this year. This
was brought by some Of the members
Of the junior class to the attention OF
some Of the board and the announce
ment above resulted.
