During a ring; discussion Bob Lyons found that the ring produced last year felt heavier than the one pro duced this year. Bob went to the chemistry lab and under the direction of Mr. Kilgore found that the new rings weighed be tween 14.5 and 15.0 penney weight gold. Herb Campbell, the Senior Class president, gave Bob the “O.K.” to speak to Dr. Cordts in behalf of the class. Cordts told Bob “you’ve been chlzeled.’ The ring contracts were signed with Mr. Allen Barbee who also has the annual and graduation invitation contracts.

On Wednesday Bob Lyons and Chet Murphey represented the Senior Class when thev met with Mr. Barbee.

Mr. Jasper Smith and the Trustees met with Mr. Barbee. Dean Cordts said he Is waiting for a letter of explaination from the factory. Bob Lyons, Joe Boling, and Herb Campbell met with Mr. Barbee and he said “you have the grounds to break the contract.” The Senior/are not sure which course of action they’ll take.

If it is approved the Seniors will request it be placed on the ring. The Senior and Junior Classes have stopped purchases of the rings and the factory has been notified to stop production until the problem can be solved.
