Naughty Students In Tipton Strike

Sixty students, including twenty girls, walked out of the Tipton high school Thursday afternoon as a result of trouble which has been brewing between students and Superintendent Patterson for several days. Other students announced that they will not return to school. It was stated that Superintendent Patterson reprimanded a junior for a statement made, and this caused one-fourth of the student body to leave. The .student body is with their fellow pupils. The girls who left school are working in the Red Cross workrooms and will continue there until the trouble is settled. The Tipton school board is investigating -the matter.
