More Vandalism
Breaks Out
One of the trophy cases in the
gym was vandalized Sunday,
April 2 during the Spring Break.
One section of a sliding glass
was broken out by one of the
benches sitting in the lobby.
Evidently, someone entered
the school Sunday after 4
o’clock through the back
entrance and broke the glass.
Approximately $150 was requir
ed to repair the case. A few of
the name plates were broken off
of trophies but no other serious
damage was done to them.
Albemarle Police investigat
ed the incident Monday but no
information was reported to the
school.
Mr. Hawkins expressed much
concern about the accident. He
stated that it could result in the
barring of the use of the gym on
weekends and anytime after
school hours except for school-
related sports. It could also lead
to the possible arresting of those
who come to the school without
autorization. The school admin
istration offered a $20 reward to
any information regarding the
apprehension of the ones at
fault.
