KUHS Shifts
Class Hours
A plan to include an activity
period in the school day, but
still have the full six periods,
met with approval from Klam
ath Union high school faculty
and members of the high school
board when it was initially pre
sented to the group at a re
cent meeting. Wendell Smith,
chairman of the committee
which devised the plan, and
Stanley Woodruff, KUHS prin
cipal, presented the program to
the group.
High school will start next
year at 8:30 In thp morning,
and will be over at 3:50 p. m.
There will be no homeroom
period in the morning, with
students going straight to first
period classes instead. The
activity period will be between
the second and third periods in
the morning under the present
setup. Afternoon schedules will
be almost the same as last year.
The new system will provide
the maximum number of minutes
for classes, minus interruption,
with five minutes cut off periods
two, three, five and six, plus the
time saved by the early schedule
of starting school. This will
make classes 50 minutes in
length, with a 40-minute activity
period. '
"I feel this should be given
a trial," said Arnold L. Gralapp,
superintendent of schools. Gra
lapp further stated that the pro
gram had proved very success
ful in other high schools. If it
works for KUHS. he said, the
same plan will be used in Fre
mont junior high.
The plan is intended mainly
to give bus students a chance to
participate in school activity.
Approximately one-third of all
students are bus students, ac
cording to Woodruff, and many
KUHS clubs are suffering due
to the lack of attendance of
members who ride the bus.
French Soldiers Die
In Annamite Ambush
HANOI, Indo China. Aug. 5 W)
Annamite forces ambushed a
French convoy yesterday, killing
12 soldiers and wounding 41.
The nine-hour fight was at the
village of Bac Ninh, 19 miles
northeast of Hanoi.
A witness said the ambush
apparently had been carefully
planned with the attacking forces
using machineguns. grenades and
even mortars. It was described
as one of the most serious in
cidents in Indo China since the
French replaced the Chinese as
occupying troops in the northern
part of the country and began
negotiations with the so-called
Viet Nam republic, which is
headed by Annamites.

The Rajah of Bhowal (in India)
has spent the past 25 years fight
ing in the British courts to prove
that he is legally ALIVE. This
has been his story:
He was pronounced dead In
1908. and In accordance with
custom his body was placed on a
funeral pyre to be cremated, and
the pyre was set afire. A down
pour came along and drove his
mourners to shelter. The rain
REVIVED him. and he was res
cued by passing beggars, with
whom he lived for 12 years while
suffering from loss of memory.
After his come-back, he spent
a quarter of a century trying to
prove his Identity (his widow
claimed he was dead, and put
tio a stiff legal fight to back iter
claim.) He finally won In the
highest British court, and on
Saturday, while waiting for King
George to sign the order restor
