IMPERIAL HIGH
PUPILS ON STRIKE

The Imperial High School students,
with the exception of some fifteen or
twenty, walked out of the assembly
room at 1:30 yesterday afternoon and
paraded the streets to demonstrate
their dissatisfaction at the refusal of
the faculty to reinstate C. H. Gar
rlgues of the Senior class, who had
been suspended after a communica-
ton from him on school matters, which
appeared May 49, The students re-
turned to school today.
The Board Of Education at a meet
ing last night voted to request that
Garrigues, after meeting certain con-
dltions, be allowed to graduate, but it
seems that Garrigues failed to meet
the conditions. He was given an OBJ
portunity yesterday morning to make
! apology before the assembly. The
apology, however, was not satisfac-
tor to the faculty and Garrigues was
not reinstated
The students sent committee tc
one of the trustees, who advised them
to return to school. Professor j. j
Morgan, the principal, had also sent
word by John Robinson, president of
the Student Body, for the boys and
girls to return at once. The advice
and invitation were acted upon i'm
meditely, and the students were adj
mitted to the assembly room for the
afternoon period, no classes being
called.
A meeting was held last night be-
tween the Board of Education, the
faculty and committee of the stu
dents.

AV|AT0RS FLYING
|NFORMAT|0NS,
IN TEXAS FIELDS
(By AssociatedPress)

Dallas, Tex, May 22.-The avia-
tors have given Texas another spec
tacle. Formation flying, which now
is being practiced in all the aviation
camps, is so ''different,' so impress
sive and so thrilling to witness that
| it has overcome the ennui with which
the average citizen has viewed a sky
flecked with individual aviators, and
the epidemic of "arched neck which
was common when the aviators first
came southt to practice, again threat
! ems.
! There is something about the ap-
pearance of airplanes in formation.
each flyer keeping an exact distance
from the others, that impresses one
with the feeling that these men ac-
tually have control of the air. The
single airplane may respond to con-
ditons in the air, rising and falling
to take advantage of the atmospheric
situation, but in formation flying
each must maintain his proper place,
and the sight of fleet of machines,
| flying in a triangle or in a square,
causes the realization that conquest
of the air had advanced to a point
heretofore unrealized.
The formation flying usually starts
in the evening, at about civilian dim
ner hour, when the air is generally
quiet This adds to the worries of
the housewife because when there is
fleet of war planes just over the
house, dipping, turning, rising and
soaring in perfect unison, no normal
son, daughter nor hosband or father
lis going to "come to dinner The
total number of cold meals eaten in
Dallas alone since this new Develop
mont in the process of developing
American aviators would startle stat
.sticians, housewives say.
Most of those who are now perfect
ing their skill in formation flying
are "bombers." Aviators on this duty
must travel in groups, guards flying
at the side, before, behind and above
! the planes which carry explosives to
, be dropped upon the enemy. The
leader usually flies much higher than
the others in the party, not only for
the advantage of the additional vision
his height will give, but also so as
to be able to dart down upon any enc
my plane which undertakes to break
up the party.
The scout planes travel alone and
the aviators who will adhere to this
. branch Of the jervice are not so
much in need of skill at formation
flying. Neither is the artillery con-
troll branch nor the contact patrol.
which latter branch must perfect it
self in flying low to report the posi-
tion of its own and enemy troops du-
ring the progress of a battle.
Training in all branches of the fly
ing service is highly specialized now
and the concentration school at Camp
Dick is filled with men who have
completed their ground school train
ing and are awaiting to be assigned
to flying school as soon as there is
room for them.
The student aviators have become
part of the community life in many
Texas cities and are much liked.

but the response is not quite as ready

ipon the public for support by con-
tributions. For forty-two years it
nas done its great work, and it has
been an inspiration for the develop
nent of many other orphan institu-
tions. This year the Thornwen Or
