TWO MISTAKES
Snow Allen delivered his
epic story of "Two Mistakes,"
in the fourth national assembly
held Thursday morning at 8:30
in the study hall.
All the students and faculty
alike were held spellbound
for over forty-five minutes as
Mr. Alien told of his experi
ences in Illinois State Prison.
Mr. Allen, now aging and
white-haired, related prison ex
periences and stated that he
was devoting his time to travel
ing to high schools to try to
keep others from doing what he
did.
As suggested by the title,
Snow Allen's story was center
ed about two mistakes which
he made in his early life, the
first being when he skipped
school for one day; the other,
when he forged a check. The
forged check resulted in a pri
son sentence of fifteen years
for Mr. Allen. He was released
from prison October 6, 1923.
"I would have given any
thing if someone would have
come before me while I was in
I high school and told me of the
I shame, the wrong, that would
jhave resulted from a crime,"
said Mr. Allen. "But no ore
did. That is why I am here to
day.

ing or at least learned how to
start, steer, and manipulate a
