SETH TANNER A BOYS ARE WITHHELD Scheol Board May Also Act to Suppress Fraternities Favorable action was taken at a meeting of the school board yesterday afternoon on the recommendatin of Capt. Clark that the diplomas of three seniors at the High school be withheld until next September. The boys “flunked” in military training. An- nouncement by the authorities that the young men would not be allowed to graduate caused their parents to take up the matter with the High school auhorities, and as a result the school board was asked to make a final threshing. Supt. Holmes was informed by the principal at the school that the parents of the boys had not been warned that the youths were not pass- 1hg their subjects, as is the procedure in other subjects, and he admitted to the board that that was the only weak point in the committee’s argument for upholding the captain. The youths will receive their diplomas next Sep- tember. If their conduct warrants such action, they will not be required to return for another term but will be privately awarded the certificate of the school. In a statement as to why the boys were not to receive diplomas, Supt. Holmes remarked that they had been “deficient in military science, consist- ing of insolence, insubordination, fail- ure to attend drills, failure to be prop- erly uniformed and a general insolent attitude.” Supt, Holmes warned the members of the commission that they have .made an agreement with the govern- ment which they are bound to respect. He was not in favor of the recom- mendation to take away from the boys their chance to graduate, but he felt that the diploma should be with- held for a probationary period. The point had been raised by the parents of the youths, he said, that deficiency cards had not been sent out. A communicaction was received from Principal Louis P. Slade of the High school, asking that the school rules relative to fraternities be amended with the addition of a set of rules which he proposed. In sub- stance the amendments would give the principal greater discretionary powers in determining what a fra- etrnity was, who were its members and what punishment should be in- flicted for violation of the Fraternities have been barred at the that they were - GRAND TEMPLARS | torney, the sentence was rules.|ing his school for several years, it being felt| Darling, said last night that a motion undemocratic ,and|has been made to set aside the Local Man Elected at Closing Session of 62nd Convention \ < The following officers were elected resterday at the 62nd anual conven- tion of the Grand Templars of Con- necticut, Temple of Honor, held at the O.
