PHILIP WELLS HARBORED KAD-
Okla RUN-AWAYS TUESDAY

The germs of spring fever cours-
ing through their veins produced a
mental state of arrogant insubord-
ination in the young and fertile
imaginations of the local high
school student body last Monday
the warmest day this spring. They
gathered in cliqucs and groups
ardently discussing the hardships
placed upon their young and hope
full lives by merciless teachers and
a heartless school board. They
would mutiny the next day and re-
belliously march away from the
daily torture.
The plot thickened and Tuesday
morning found the entire student
body transformed into rebel
camp. With lunch bags and
baskets they hid themselves away
from their tormenters to the free
and open country in swiftly NOV
ing gas wagons. School was. called
and for at least one day discipline
was perfect.
Kodak Point however reverbe-
rated with the shouts of jov and
youthful laughter of the insurg
ents. The raw zephyrs whipping
over the chilly prairies however
soon satisfied their wanderlust and
the youngsters sought refuge for
the day in the sheltering groves
of the hospitable home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Philip Wells, Sr.
Here they were welcomed with
open arms and asked to spend the
day. The Wells entered into the
spirit Of the occasion with the full
zeal of their younger days. The
floor was cleared in a moment and
to the harmonious strains of the
piano the runaways. enjoyed the
tripping Of the light phantastic
toe.
As diversion Mr.. Wells sang
a few Irish ballads, much to the
delight of the unexpected but
nevertheless welcome youngsters.
Cake walks and special dances by
the rejuvenated senior brought
forth roaring applause. Others
sang solos, joined in ensemble songs
or played various games. Excurs-
ions, were also conducted into the
nearby vicinit'- where the magni-
ficent scenery alone White River
the many SPRINGS Of fresh water
were of much interest to the visit

At half past five the desire of
home sweet home got the upper
hand with the vacationists for a
day Before leaving the entire
high school group pave nine rous-
ing cheers and . tipor for their
hosts Mr.. and Mrs. Philip Wells,
Sr. and voted them royal entertain
"rs. Tired hnt happy they arrived
in the familiar haunts Of their
homo town and voted their SNEAK
