SCHOOL MM FORCED TO
BLOW BACK CLUB FUNDS
The studentg of the Fairbanks
high, school are in a highly indig
nant etato over the action of the
princ»p?l. Miss Margaret Keenan,
in compelling the financial officeis
of the Ursa Major society to turn
over the funds recently acquired by
them from the production of a Dday
a short time ago.
It appears that Miss Keenan was
of the opinion that the students
ought to buy a phonograph for the
high school with part of the pro
ceeds. This was objected to, as it
w»s a deviation from the purpose
for which the funds were raised1.'
The proposition >vas put to a vote
of the high school students and was
defeated by a vote of 22 to 5.
Recently Miss Georgia Johnson,
the treasurer of the Ursa Major so
ciety, was summoned to the office
of the superintendent and asked' to
make out a check for the entire
amount, nearly $400, and turn the)
same over to her. This was object
ed to by Miss Johnson, but after be
ing persuaded to a large degree the
check wafl made out unoer protest.
Lyman Kruppe .another member
of the society, was; also summoned*
to the superintendent's office and
compelled to comply with the same
request, under protest, as no ac
tio* had been, taken by the society
and be had no authority to do as
was requested of him by Miss Keen
aji
Within a few minutes aiter secur
ing the signatures of the two stu
dent officers, Mire Keenan, hastened
to the bank and withdrew all funds
to the credit of the Urs% Major so
ciety, W-hJoh she, in turn, made over
to a. member of the school boapd.
The parents of the high school
student# were much incensed orer
the unoalled-for action of the su
perintendent and Bome spoke of tali?
ing their child-ren out of the school.
Yesterday Miss Keenan returned the
funds of the society to th« prop«r
officials, and the wffairs of the
clety are as they formerly. Were, ex
ct' ting highly ruffled feelings ail
around. {
