Do you grab your most valued treasures to protect them from the fiery fury? Do you take time to make sure you’re fully dressed? What do you do when a fire breaks. Ac cording to the girls in Hilley Hall you do what comes naturally, haul out of the joint. “The fire” occurred in Hilley Hall early Saturday morning as a result of unknown causes. Light damage was reported to the balcony of second floor where the blaze originated. Heat from the fire caused the glass of the sliding door to crack. Firemen were awed at the sight of a hundred sleepy and frightened girls in the 7 o’clock array. Most of the girls agreed that their main concern was self and not possessions. One girl did manage to remember her cigarettes. The main result of the fire was the discovery of such inefficient means of warning. Several people were unable to hear the alarm and were awakened only by their frightened friends. Measures are in progress to alleviate the situation by placing extra alarms in Hilley. The administration is working in cooperation with the fire mar shal to make sure Atlantic Christian is a safe place to live.
