Alias Midnight Rambler is on
the Senior High scene again.
This time he left his flag of
vengeance on the school’s
flagpole sometime during the
weekend of April 27.
The flag was inscribed with
THE MIDNIGHT RAMBLER.
In one corner it had a hand
gripping a blood stained
dagger. In the other corner was
a star and quarter moon.
This marks the fifth time such
actions have occurred from this
particular group. They have left
their name previously on
sidewalks around the school. On
one occasion “Midnight Ramb
ler” was written in paint along
the brick wall at the front
entrance, the marks of which
still remain.
So far, there are no definite
leads as to who might be
carrying out these actions. Thus
far, they have appeared only on
weekends at night.
For the first time this year,
racial trouble erupted at Senior
High. It sprang from a
disagreement between blacks
and whiles concerning the
choosing ol the junior varsity
cheerleading squad.
The trouble started Thursday,
May 3, during lunch period and
spread into the following week.
Reportedly, blacks felt some
what discriminated against in
the choosing of the cheerlead
ers.
Comments from both sides
triggered small skirmishes in
the halls and in the P’rench lab
later Thursday. These actions
caused uproar throughout the
school.
Thursday night, H.E.L.P. met
to discuss the problem and
come up with a solution. This
group, along with the Student
Council, decided to add two
additional members to the
squad. Former finalists who
wish will be allowed to try out
lor positions. They will perform
before a panel composed of
three white and three black
judges.

will
H.E.L.P. feel that this method
will insure fair representation
since the choosers will not be
associated with the school.
As a result of the trouble,
police had to be called in Friday
and Monday. They were posted
throughout the school to
suppress any actions that might
arise.
School was dismissed at 11:30
Friday in order that tensions .
would be eased over the
weekend. However, Monday
morning, more fighting broke
ouf in the front lobby. Police
quickly stopped the fighting and
live students were arrested. A
number of students were
suspended.
This marks the first time
racial problems have occurred
at school this year.
Both faculty and administra
tion hope these problems will
soon be solved.
