The Eighth Grade Glass, under
the guidance of Mr.. Douglas Glib
son, HomerOom Teacher and Fire
Marshall; presented an assembly
on Friday, October 10, 1862. This
was a follow-up to Fire Preven-
ton Week. The various members
of the class discussed: What is
fire, How is fire produced, How
fires are put out, The family's re-
sponsibility in case of fire, The
proper use of fire extinguisher,
and what to do in case of fire.
The program was very informative
and stressed the need of fire pre-
vention the entire year. The pupils
were told that they could make
their greatest contribution by re-
moving the fire hazards in and
around their homes. When you re-
port a fire always remember to
give the location of the fire and
the type of fire it is. Remember to
be calm and use all the fire fight
ing aids you have until the fire
fighting apparatus arrives. During
Fire Prevention Week our school
was visited by the Carlisle Volun-
teer Fire Company of this city.
They gave us a splendid demon
stration out on the school grounds
The children were pleased to see
a real, modern fire truck at a close
range. Two pupils had h e
privilege of blowing the siren.
