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.
