the school gymnasium.
There the children and their
teachers were placed side by side'
awaiting identification.3
State police and American Legion-_
naires rushed to the scene andtook
aarge. Even laundry trucks became
ambulances.
Members of the Parent Teachers
Association who were meeting in a
gymnasium escaped themselves only
to find a scene of family horror
nearby.
Five hundred men raced from the
oil fields served by the school to the
scene.
1,000 Men Work
Later an additional 1,000 men went
to wolrk upon the ruins.
Workers said it would be at least
10 hours before they could clear away
the wreckage.
Disheveled, screaming mothers,
some of them in disagreement over
the identification of the broken bod-
ies, milled about the school grounds.
The scene was chaotic.
The feelings of Texas were voiced
by Gov. James V. Al.red who said
simply:
"I can conceive of nothing more
terrible than such a death for chil-
dren.",
Most of the bodies seemed to have
been crushed or torn. Few were
burned.

Among the crowds who did not
know yet the toll taken from their
families was Mrs. W. H. Phillips.

Her five-year-old son, James, went
with her this afternoon to meet Virgil.

stopped for a moment in a nearb,
store. The five-year-old ran ahead
of her to the building.
The next moment, the explosion
=shattered the schoolhouse.
The body of Virgil was among the
first brought out of the ruins.
Superintendent Shaw, one of the
few members of the faculty whc
escaped death in the mighty blast
was aiding rescue workers.

The known dead included L. R.
Butler, teacher; Willie H-. Tate,
teacher; Miss Lena Hunt, teacher
Miss Katie Wilson, teacher; Alvi n
Gordon, student; W. G. Latham, pi-
pil; Sylva Warren, pupil, who was en-
gaged to be married.
The school is midway between the
communities of London and New
London and serves several towns
within an area of 30 square miles.
The school is nine miles northwest
of Henderson. Many of the students
were children of oil field workers or
officials of oil companies.
L. Z. Barker, 16, senior in the high
dchool, was in the study hail when the
explosion occurred.
"It was nearly seven minutes be-
'ere time for dismissal,"he said.
Suddenly the floor rose up. There

One of the striking characteristics
f the disaster was the small numoer

)ut there were few injured.
Supt. Shaw of the school was him-
delf a parent who lost a child in
,he explosion.
As night fell workers set up spot-
.ights and a half dozen giant oil
field cranes were swung into position
and set to clearing out the debris

It promised to be an all night effort
with terrible confusion. Every high-

automobiles carrying doctors, nurses,

sightseers.

"The Merry Wives of Windsor,"
the Shakespearian comedy to be pre-
sented by the Hampstead Community
Players March 24, 25 and 26 in the
Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre, was
characterized by Prof. Hereward T..
Price, instructor of Shakespeare in
the English department, as "an ex-
cellent acting play, designed simply!
as an evening's entertainment, with-
out a deeper significance."
"The plot of the comedy," Profes-
sor Price said, "is an obvious one
vhich anyone can enjoy. There is no

continued. "The cowards who are
forced to fight a duel offer a hu-
morous situation typically Shake-

at the end with the characters danc-

The conclusion is very moral and sat-
isfying: the good are rewarded and

the wicked man is punished.,, t Dt aaIa vr atrtl

By PROF. THEODORE R. RUNNING, of the University
of Michigan The Preface reads as follows:
This* book aims to make use of the graphical method as a tool. It is planned for those
who have had an elementary course in calculus and wish to make use of the graphical method in
the treatment of data.
It is hoped that the book will prove of use to students in applied science, particularly
those who deal with experimental -data.
It is thought that the use of the derived curves in graduating data has much in its.
favor. The simplicity and flexibility of this m ithod renders it easily and rapidly applied.
