 The testimony before the authorities which resulted in the conviction and expulsion of teh students. has been pieced together and indicates that the eplsoue was about as follows: Two of tne boys were busily engaged in cIty- ping the hair of a freshman, one hold Ing him while the other worked the chppers, when two teachers came upon the scene. The teachers warned the boys and said if the incident dropped at that point, the boys could return to school with no further trouble. To this the boys laughingly replied that if the teachers did not watch out they would get their own hair clipped. Principal Cook then came on the scene at this Juncture and told eve. boy who was dressed in bandit style to leave the campus and not to return until he sent Tor them. The boys would not leave the campus but hung around, enticing the other students to call a "walkout" :"
 Several boys returned to the school Tn machine and creaieda a disturbance while two more of tfem entered the study hall with signs on their backs with the inscription Join the Dirty Fifty
