It was noticed on Monday m o r n in g f o llo w in g th e weekend of February 6 that certain items were missing from the school. Little commented, “We couldn’t see where they got in.” The items that were taken indicate that the thief was probably a young person. So far, students and teacher have found the missing items to include: over 300 pencils, 5 chokers made by students, a case of pop, a flute and a half- eaten can of pineapple. Whoever it was that broke in could have been badlv injured or killed, mentioned Little as how a conduit had broken, apparently where the burglar was hanging on trying to gain entry through a window. If the wires had been severed, high voltage could have caused serious injury. The break-i n was investi gated by patrolman Chris Still. He was u n a v a ila b le for comment at press time.
