BOYS ONLY LAUGH Members of tne school faculty demanded that the boys leave their; point of vantage and come down. But laughter was the. only answer. Threats and tongue-iashings failed to have an effect, it was said, and finally a call was sent for the po- liC 3. Detectives George Wardlaw and L. M. Pack, with Officers Archie Gale and H. H. Butler went to the BChcol and made like demands up­on the students. They also were met with refusal. The officers then ascended a lad- in an effort to get into the at­tic, but the boys placed heavy planks over the entrance and stood upon them. One officer was said to have yelled, "Open up or I'll ehoct," and was answered by a student, who said, "Go to h- and shoot.' FIRE DEPARTMENT CALLED Afwr several futile attempts to obtain entrance or get the boys to surrender the officers sent for the fire1 department truck With a long ladder. They planned to place the jadder on the outside of the build­ing and capture the students by en­tering the attic from above.

They were taken to the police station and booked as follows: John Colt, 18. 3145 Washington avenue; Atwell Wolfer, 1 8, 2201 Jefferson avenue Lloyd McLean, 16, 879 Canyon road; Leland McLean, 16, 879 Canyon road; Lamont Hendershot, 19, 887 Twenty-fourth street; Alvin Johnson. 17. 824 Twenty- fourth street; Paul Watson, 18, 307 Fifteenth street; Elmore Smith, 19, 454 Twenty-sixth street; Marcus Childs, 17, 1549 Twenty-fourth street; Frank Swager, Jr., 17, 819 Twenty-fourth; Gilbert Beck, 17, 1506 Twenty-sixth street; Hassett Shuffleba.rger, 18, Virginia hotel; Gerald Corey, 18, 927 Twenty-fifth street; James Bower, 19, 1430 Twenty-third street; Max Corey, 17, 1364 Twenty-fifth street; Varcus M attson, 521 Twenty-third street, end William Allison, 16.

They will appear in the city court Monday morning at 10 o'clock. NOTHING OFFENSIVE Investigation disclosed there was nothing Offensive in the conduct oi* the school-, boys. There has always been a tradition in the school 'that •when one class gives an exclusive s party, members of other classes shall try to make things interest­ing for those at the party. These girls' parties have been .given annually under the supervi­sion ar.d chaperonage of faculty imenibers. Boy students are ex­cluded. This usually makes themH determined to participate in oneH form or another. The boys in the Hi excitement of their adventure, Fri-11 day night somewhat forgot them- selves and went a little too far, in S the opinion of some of the faculty § members.
