 Deny Searching Pupils
 School officials today denied that any real search of high school girls was made in connection with the theft Wednesday of gold wrist watch belonging to Miss Marion Dean of East Main street. It had been reported that. when the loss was discovered, the girls in the gym class during which the theft oc- cured had been forced to divest themselves of some of their cloth ing and submit to search. Superin- l tendent Leon c. Staples today said that these rumors were grossly ex- aggerated. as the girls had merely been asked to take of their shoes and had been extremely willing to do this or anything else which might have helped in finding the missing article.
 Miss Dean had left her watch and some other jewelry in the dressing room while she went into the gym for her class work. When she re- turned all the articles had been taken. The other jewelry was later found in another girls purse. which had been hidden under . pile of coats, but this sirl was at no time believed to be guilty and the school authorities recognized, the trick as a despicable plant in an attempt Ito throw suspicion on someone other than the real thief.
