' ; The patrons of the high school in that community had. offered to' install any kind of equipment .desired and Mrs. Griffin, who lives near the school building, offered, the use of her large kitchen 'and splendid, equipment free -of use. .For the sake of economy and in order to get the work lined up -quickly, Mrs. Griffin's offer, was' ac cepted.

The high school students then marched to their study rooms and two seniors assigned the tasks in recitation. It is said the -order could not have been more per fect had- both the teachers been pres ent, A visitor inquired of the pupils - and; patrons why this was, and the re ply i was that the pupils so much rev , garded Wis confidence placed In them by Mr, Hasty that they dare not break , faitn who nun. ; . :.-.- Sixteen years ago when this school ' was begun, the Churchland section w uraii quieuy lor lue manuiaciure - of 'blockade corn whiskey.;.
