Kodiak's progress over the past
20 years can be evaluated in many
ways. But look at the advance
ments made in its school system
tells the story more adequately
than any other means.
From an enrolment in 1889
40 of 1874 to its present attendance
of $40 spells a continuing growth,
of course. And the improvements
in the physical properties OF the
Kodiak Independent School Dis

with its increased enrolment. Its
a far cry from the facilities of the
old school downtown, to the new
and modern plant atop the hill
which furnishes adequate facilities
for teaching for all ages from
grade school through high school.
The new elementary school wing
of the main plant was completed
and occupied first in the fall OF
1858; the high school wing was oc-
capied in the fall of 1856.
Fhere are presently 80 academic
rooms, observation-disclosures
facility, a library, cafeteria,
home economics suite, shop space
and one science suite.

Arresting officers have char
ged the three white men, Bob
by Smith 10; Charles Coffey,
20, and Louis Coffey, %, all
of Yazoo County with the
crime.
According to District Attor-
ney Bill Waller, the three
white men broke into the
house on the Mayday Planta-
ton five miles west of Yazoo
City about 2: A. M. After
three teen-age children fled,
one man forced the mother
outside to a car and the five
year old baby girl was attack
ed in the house. The District
Attorney is quoted as saying,
1.-THE hospital vs. the child
definitely was aped." She's
in pretty bao way and we
can't get a clear story from
her yet" Both the mother and
child was examined at Univer-
sity Hospital in Jackson and
the child was hospitalized.
One of the men was arrested
about daybreak in the car with
the mother. Another one of
the men was picked up on a
highway near the house about
an hour later the third was
caught later in the day after
officers and bloodhound

ties, life Imprisonment and

The officers learned of the
rape from the three children
who fled when the men first
