RIOT OCCURS “IN. CHICAGO Parents Storm Platform When Principal Keeps 40 Graduates From Exercises Chicago, Jan, 26--()-—Four hun- dred graduates of two Chicago high schools took their places in the world today, diplomas in hand, but only after difficulties that turned one commencement into a riot. Principal C. I. Morse precipitated the riot when he sought to leave a final lesson with the Harrison Tech graduates and, announcing they would receive their diplomas in private for having cut classes on commence day, locked 40 of the class of 17 a room as the exercises began. Doting parents soon discovered the absences and when the locked roomful was found, just us the unsuspecting speaker swung into his address, kins- men and friends stormed the form, In the struggle, Mr. Morse w: lifted from the floor by Charles E. Jensby, an uncle of one of the im- prisoned graduates, and informed that he could not get back to the firm floor again until the white-frocked 40 were seated on the stage. 2 in Woman Strikes Principal One woman struck the principal,| sh: but further disorder was prevented by Mr. Jensby, who made a specch urging calm after the parents’ point had been won. Morse finally reed to free the pupils, who said a te er had told them to miss classes and prepare their finery, to take part in the exerci ‘At Englewood high, there was a tense air about the commencement, but the program was completed with- out fresh outbreak of the trouble which sent more than 200 graduates on strike on the eve of the occasion. The class declared a strike when three favorites were ordered to apolo- gize for a snake dance through the school halls, and Principal Davidson responded by declaring there would be no graduation exercises. In the end a compromise was effected and the commencement was held as sched- uled. H. A. BRASTRUP PRESIDENT OF FUNERAL MEN Morticians Select Valley City For 1928 Meeting—Dates Not Determined H. A.
