Fire At High School

at night.
The boys, Bill Hargis, Frances
Matzell and Tom Reynolds were
passing by the school building
when they saw flames in room
of the mechanical department. They
attempted to gain entrance but
doors and windows were locked,
so they broke a window and enter
ed. Two of the boys continued to
fight the flames with apparatus in
the building while the third went to
a telephone and called the fire de-
partment.

the boys battling them. Thinking
the lads had probably not turned
in an alarm he pulled box 3-4.
When the fire department arriv-
ed the boys had gotten the flames
