Once a bad Place"
A man in the store. lifting a
soft drink from a cooler, stopped
to add that the sudden and vio-
lent action was not something
expected at the school.

The seventh, eighth and ninth
graders, crowded around the
front door of the school. are
eager to talk about themselves
with a youthful frankness.
"A couple of years ago this
used to be a bad place." said
one boy at the edge of the
crowd. 1.-THE school was just
getting to have a good reputa-
ton and this had to happen.
Water Pistols at School

guns to school, drink, and that
six recently were placed in q

Students from all three class
levels deny that guns were
brought into the school.
There have been a lot of
water pistols brought to school,
but no real guns" a group of
girls said.
Principal John Hrezo had
heard the gun-carrying report.
Eyes. l heard the rumor that
some boys were bringing guns to
school," he said. "but we were
never able to confirm it,
MIR. Hrezo also denied that six
students recently were withdrawn
from school and sent to a juve-

Some Drinking Reported
Two or three girls said there
had been some drinking among
the boys at the school recently.

ANNAPOLIS, May 5 tR.-The
State Roads Commission has
been given a green light to make
another attempt to recover the
money it paid John B. and
Dorothy Hudson TOR a piece OF
land in Montgomery County.
The Court of Appeals yester-
day directed the Montgomery
County Circuit Court to hear
further proceedings in the COM
missions suit against the
Hudsons.
The suit, filed last october,
charged the Hudsons with false
and fraudulent misrepresenta-
Itions" in selling the land to the
commission for $26,500. 1t said
the Hudson, without knowledge
of the commission, had con-
tracted with other persons to
buy the land for $4,000 and
then sell 1t to the commission
The commission appealed after
the Montgomery Circuit Court

vehemently denied there was any
organized drinking.
There might be some individ-
ual students drinking, they said,
but there hasn't been any wide
spread drinking.
A Prince Georges County po-
lice sergeant, who declined to give
his identity, said nothing like
this has ever happened before.
We haven't had much trouble
with the students.
An officer at the scene said he
thought the students were "a
little rough. but no worse than
in Washington schools.
you can see why this is not
like the nice suburbs" he added.
There are a lot of multiple-unit
dwellings out here and some of
the houses are close together"
OvercrOwding Denied
Principal Hrezo said there are
about $50 students in the junior
high school.
81 would not say we are over
crowded and we have adequate
facilities" he commented. I'D
say we have an average school,"
The students were universally
bitter about one thing:
1.-THE boy that did it has been
here only a few weeks" said one
student in a group observing a
television camera crew at work.
Others volunteered the same
information. A seventh-grade
girl added:
II suppose now everybody will
think this is really a bad place."

Caroline School Expelled
Prevotte for Knife Threat

Later, still weeping uncontrol-
lably, she told an Associated
Press photographer who called
at her home II just feel sorry
for those poor people," meaning
the victims of the shooting.
Her son has been staying with
his brother. Robert, and the
brothers wife. Sarah, in their
basement apartment at 7012
Greig street, Gregory Estates,
near Seat Pleasant. Gregory
Estates is a stable development
of three-story brick apartments,
most of them with IL housing
units each. 1t is a neighborhood
chiefly of young couples with
small children. The Prevatte
couple has two sons, one aged 8
years and the other 4 months.
There are few teen-agers in
Gregory Estates.
Mrs. Robert Green, a neigh
Dor, said she was standing out
side the Prevatte apartment
building today about 1880 am.
and saw the Prevatte boy enter
it. She said he returned outdoors
in a few minutes carrying a rifle.
IT thought it was odd for him
to come home at such an hour,
when school was in session." Mrs.
Green said.
She added she didn't know
there was a weapon in the Pre-
waite apartment, but didn't
think it unusual that the boy was
carrying a rifle.
Mrs. Green and another ten
ant of he building, Mrs. Lucille
williams, said the boy was quiet,
friendly, polite and good natured
They said he seldom left the
house, unless it was with his rel
atives or to play with younger
children in the front yard.
HE was nice to everybody"
Mrs. Green said.
She said he used to play with
my kids all the time" Her chill
dren are 3 and 212 years old.
Starts New Job
Mrs. Williams, however. said
she was upset the day before
when she discovered the boy
teaching her younger children
the art of poker. Il gave them
down the country for that" she
said. MY boys are too young for
that"

Billy Ray Prevatte was expelled
from school in Raleigh, N. c.,
less than two months ago for
threatening his teacher there
with a knife. his former princi-
pal said yesterday.
Only Thursday a neighbor
woman found him teaching her
sons, aged IL and 8, how to play
poker.
Neil Rosser. principal of the
Hugh Morson School in Raleigh,
told The Star 14-year-old BILLY
had a bad record but comes from
a sensible family"
In his telephone interview, the
principal said the boys family
sent him to live with a brother.
This kept him from a possible
reform school sentence.
HE drew a knife on the
teacher sitter the teacher tried
to discipline him." Mr.. Rosser
said. Before that he had
knocked down one of our school
patrols in the corridor"
Faced Reform School
The case was turned over to
Domestic Relations Court. Be-
cause of North Cardinals COM
pulsory education law, requiring
children to attend classes
through the age of 16, the Pre-
waite boy probably would have
had to continue his education
in a reform school, Mr.. Rosser
said.
AFTER we turned him over to
the court the family sent him
to live with a brother in Mary
land, taking him out of the
jurisdiction of this court" Mr..
Rosser said.
i have worked with his par
ents and they seem to be pretty
reasonable people," the principal
added. THE rest of their chill
dren have good school records. "
He said Billy's younger broth
er sis a very fine little fellow"
But Billy was "a lone wolf in
many respects" and did not get
along well with other students.
Mr.. RosSer said.
The principal said the boy had
been put out of school in Feb
ruary and was readmitted after
a juvenile court hearing. Juve-
nile authorities let him return
to classes after his parents paid
medical bills of the safety patrol
boy he beat up. Mr.. Rosser said.

Boy Who Killed Teacher
SpendsQuietNightinJ Jail

Inc BOY ran from the otflce
and up the steps through a group
of students returning from band
practice. He had entered the
schools main entrance. Its steps
lead up to the second floor
where the principals Office is
located. Now Prevatte was on
his way to the third floor.
Lets Go Two Shots
He ran down the upper hall
and stepped into Mr.. Cameron's
classroom, yelling, where's Mr..
Hrezo?"
The startled teacher jumped
up from his chair at his desk
and said he didn't know the
principals whereabouts. Pre-
waite let go with two shots, the
first grazing the teachers head,
the second striking his heart,
police said.
The first bullet hit a window
ventilator and, spent, dropped to
the window sill.
Prevatte said he could recall
only one shot at Mr.. Cameron,
and thought he missed him.
There were about 40 children
In Mr.. Cameron'S classroom.
They went into an uproar as
their teacher fell dead. The
screaming brought Mr.. Hicks
from his nearby classroom.
AS he entered the hallway he
saw the boy running toward him.
He lunged at Prevatte and the
boy loosed another shot. 1t hit
the base of the mans right
thumb.
Outside the building a brick
layer had seen the boy approach
ing the school. The workman
was William C. Patriarch, "a, OF
1918 Gaylord drive, Suitland,
He was working on the school
annex addition.
Mr.. trlarca clambered
through a window of the school
to warn teachers and pupils
He was on a scaffold at the side
Of the school.
He went through the window
across a classroom into the hall
and confronted the boy coming
down a flight of steps.
HE had me cornered," Mr.
Patriarch said. HE pointed the
gun at me but noticed he hao
a sort of undecided look on his
face. I grabbed UP the only
thing 1 could get my hands on. :
1t was trash basket at the
bottom of the steps. The brick
layer said he didn't know wheth-
err he wanted to throw it OF
use it as a shield.
Look at Each Other
1--WE stood there for a few
minutes looking at each other,
the workman went on. "He had
the gun and I was holding the
trash can. Then he told me,
II didn't want to shoot them
others. I just wanted TO kill
Mr.. Hrezo."
He said the boy handed him
the rifle then.
The bricklayer seized the
weapon, collared the boy ano
marched him to the principals
office. Police estimated that the
shooting was ended about five

ton site approached the car. in
tending to help the driver if he

But, said police, the boy jumped
out, screamed don't you come

then the rif1eman started zeroing

questioning, the boy said he re-
membered shooting at Mr.. Cam
