Foolish Class Rivalry Soon Rooted at Monon.

Monon News. The senior flag was unfurled on the school building Tuesday morning. How it got there no one has yet explained. It was promptly removed by Supt. Lewis and permanently retired. Then the walk leading to the school building had served the purpose of a billboard, brush and paint decorating it with figures. The class soon learned that such pranks are not in harmony with the present administration and was notified by the superintendent that the figures on the walk must be erased and they would be excused until the task was accomplished, all credits being suspended in the meantime. Accordingly the 17 seniors left the school room and marched down the street in a body. After a council of war was held, discretion proved the better part of valor. The offensive decoration was wiped out and the seniors returned to their studies Wednesday and peace and harmony again prevail in the temple ,of learning. The school authorities have matters well in hand and no serious disturbance is anticipated on account of class rivalry.
