Another Degrading Stunt Was Pulled Off Last Night Hollis Hanna and Jo Parks Taken to Riverview Cemetery, Stripped of Their Clothing and Left There Hazing in the most degrading form is being carried on in Arkansas City. Recent exposures by high school freshmen, who have recently been hazed by. the upper classmen, have been brought tk the attention of police officials, and they are at work dn the case to find the culprits.

There are several clues which point to certain members of the- upper classes and police officials will probably have queried these in a short while. The most recent trouble was last evening when Hollis Hanna and Joe Parks, both first year men at the high school, were picked up on the street, taken to Riverview cemetery, stripped of their clothes and left there. The boys clothes were knotted and thrown on the back porch of Hanna's home. The boys were picked up later in the evening after having spent about four hours in the cemetery. Yesterday the report was brought before the officials that one boy was found bound and gagged on a forsaken road leading into the city.

He had been taken out and left on. this road, which according to the report, is traveled just every three or four days. Last night several youngsters were taken into country and made to walk into town and it is also reported that boys were stripped of their clothing and left in front of the Fifth Avenue hotel. Monday a freshman was being hazed and according to the story a well, known school boy here was attempting to clip his hair. The boy fought and he is carrying a scar from the scissors on his forehead.

The boy was treated by a local doctor and several stitches were taken in his head. What are school authorities doing? "We haven't anything to work on. We can't find the names of any of the miscreants as the boys being hazed refuse to divuge the names of their attackers. However, we have found that a number of boys not in school, are taking part in this and this will be turned over to the police. The board of education is going to put a stop to such hazing and there is going to be some of the students -pay for these midnight ex-capades," were the words -of Superintendent C.

E. Sf. John, this morning. "We'll jug a few' of these youngsters and stop such practices. It's all right for them to have their fun but this business is being run into the ground," was the statement made by police officials.
