The Junior High Building Has a Fire Drill
Wouldn't you say that five hundred people getting out of a building in two minutes was a pretty good record? That is what happened Friday morning in the Junior High which includes all of the grade children and the Freshmen.
These five hundred students were scattered in different rooms throughout the building. They had previously been instructed as to the order in which they were to leave the building. The people from the various rooms left in a definite order. After the fire alarm rang it was exactly two minutes until the last person had left the building.
