Government building it, and we have
fairly good prospects. This Is the
richest government in the world with

HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS DENY
DANCES ARE TURNED TO "ORGIES'
Affairs Under School Auspices End at IL
and Only Drinking Is Done by
Small Group, They Insist.

"'S all lot of applesauce" shouts
collective high school Washington in
answer to the charges of the Con-
gress of Parent-Teacher Associations
that the health and morals of boys
and girls Of the high school age are
being undermined by wee hour
dances that amount to drinking
orgies"
These charges were made at meet
ing of the congress last night, when
it was voted to urge all the associa-
tions of the city to cooperate in stamp
ing out the liquor phase and in max
ing the hours for student affairs
earlier. And the students themselves
had something to- say about 1t all at
their respective schools today.
We'll, If they want to make the
starting time of dances earlier, l can
see no reason why they shouldn't, and
yet, I can't see why they should be
earlier" was the statement of Rod
ney Hatch, 17.year-Old president of the
Senior Council of Central
Dances End at 12.
"In the first place, you know.
school dances are not held later than
IL right now" he continued, land If
we go to dances that are on the out
side. we'll, nobody has anything to
do about that except the parents
themselves.
'As for the liquor-yes it's there all
right, but I'm darned if everybody
drinks it SO that you could call 1t an
orgy! You can always put your
finger on the ribald minority that can
be relied upon to bring the liquor
and they keep it pretty well hidden
and drink it mostly after they leave
our dances"
But now this business of making
the starting hours earlier-well, the
point is that even though the dances
are scheduled to begin at $50 or 9
o'clock. nobody wants to be the first
to arrive and they'll all begin strag-
Cling in and so the dance is run later
to give them all a real evening of
dancing. Who wants to pay 81 for
a few minutes dancing?|

dent of the student committee of

Listen, when Jane comes in at 2
o'clock in the morning and tells
mother that she has just come from
the school dance. Jane is just plain
lying. that's all"' says Miss San
derson.
Because no school dance con-
tinues beyond -, that doesn't mean
that the students can't go to other
places afterwards" she carried on.
There's the hot cake restaurants that
are always crowded.
The "outside Dances" those that
are given in establishments other

therefore not under the jurisdiction

The November grand jury adopted
