As evidence of their first grievance the boys stated that Mr. Park, had earlier in the year year without the consent of the executive committee, .ordered a tackling dummy and charg ed it to the student body. To this llr. Park replied that he was not familiar with the constitu tion of the student body and would not have taken the action w hich he took if he had known that It was against the constitution.
