EASTERN HIGH ROW
BRINGS ACCUSATIONS
Intent of Architect to Use Furni-
ture Funds ShoWn-School Cen
sus Called Too Large.

The row over the plans for the new
Eastern High School was still fur
ther aired before the District sub
committee of the House apropria-
tions committee when it resumed
hearings yesterday. with former Nd
nicipal Architect Snowden Ashford
and Superintendent of Schools Frank
w. Ballou as the contending parties.
DIR. Ballou read to the subcVmmit-
tee considerable correspondence on
this subject, including letter writ
ten by Ashford to Principal Hart Of
Eastern High, which stated Ashford ;
intention to put up the building with
the amount appropriated and depend
upon future appropriation to furnish
it, whereas the law directed that the
building was to be erected and fur
nlShed within the amount appropriated
Ashford continued his recital of
Investigations regarding the seating
accommodations in the District
schools, and this investigation
showed the number of pupils then at
tending school to be 10000 less than
the school officials reported.
Questioned regarding the report
that many copies of Ashfords state
ment regarding this investigation
had been circulated among members
of Congress, Ashford said that a
woman had borrowed his statement
and that he learned later she had
500 copies made of it.
Another letter read by Superin-
tendent Ballou purported to show
that plans for the new Eastern High
School were not completed when
Ashford relinquished his position as
municipal architect. This letter
referred particularly to electrical
equipment and was dated about three
months after Ashford had left the
office.

EASTERN HIGH STUDENTS
TO RECEIVE TWO MEDALS
Boys and Girls Will Have Separate
Awards, Alumni Association
Council Decides.

Decision to award two medals to
students of Eastern High School
graduating in June was reached by
the executive council of the alumni
association of the institution at a
meeting last night at the school. One
of the medals will be awarded the
boy who is pre-eminent in school
activities and the other will be pre-
sented to the girl who does most in
behalf of the school during her four
year course.
Heretofore. the association has
awarded only one pedal to gradu-
ating student, but on account of the
large increase in the student body,
il was deemed advisable to recognize

equally.

signed by Ray =. Whitman. has been
awarded since 1912.
Plans We're discussed for increasing
the war memorial fund through a
subscription campaign. Miss Bertha
l.. Gardner of the faculty of Eastern,
who was recently elected an honor
ary member of the alumni aSsocia-
ton. outlined the memorial plans.
The council decided to keep the rec
ordS of the association in a perma
nent form, which will include achieve
ments of the individual alumni of the
school and the various activities of
kept by Miss Rosemary Arnold, sec
retary of the association. Aims of
the alumni for the coming year and
the plans for the new Eastern High
School Were presented by Charles
Hart, principal of Eastern.

he would appoint man from the
eastern part of the state, he said it
could.
The governor .Said hr eXectca to
