An investigation: as to the origin of the fire is still being conducted. Welter was returning from a trip downtown when he noticed a light in the gym- As he approached the gym he could see that the light was produced by flames on the main floor of the building.

Rushing into the Memorial hall dormitory, which is across the roadway from the gym, Welter telephoned "the Atchison fire department The alarm was received at 11:28 p.m. I Two pumpers and a ladder truck, manned by a crew of seven men, answered the alarm. The firemen extinguished the flames in 10 to 15 minutes but remained at the gym until 3 a.m. searching out burning embers and cleaning up after the; fire. i The fire originated in the south-; east corner of the building on 'the main floor where the basketball 1 court and auditorium are located, The center of the fire was in the vicinity of a water fountain near a I spiral steel stairway down to dress-; ing rooms on the first floor.

BLEACHERS BURN Two 14 foot sections of wooden folding bleachers were burned, so destroyed were two windows inj the east wall. A section of the basketball floor was charred and thej and drippings of resin from the, wood ceiling. The floor may have been badly warped by the water. The fire caused damage to some; wooden beams in the, roof over the southeast corner. Officials at the' school believe that if the fire hadj not been discovered for another 10; minutes the entire roof would have been burned.
