We are indebted to Thomas A. 
Baker for a copy of the St. Augus- 
tine Evening Record of April 2, 
which contains a big account of the 
fire that morning which burned over 
a large section of the city of St Au- 
gustine and entalled a loss of $750,-

We regret to report the confine- 
ment of Frank Sinnicks to his home 
on Ashland ave., with scarlet fever. 
He came home from Boston Tuesday 
and his condition was such Wednes- 
day that a trained nurse was called 
in to take charge. His illness is all 
the more regretted at this time as he 
is just about completing his four 
years’ of study at Tech. and this ill- 
ness, which will undoubtedly last six 
weeks, may keep him form complet- 
ing his final work with the class in 
June. 
This year’s graduating class at the 
High school numbers two,—George 
Rust and Miss Ethel Townsend. 
Owing to the change in the curri- 
culum several years ago whereby the 
oth grade was added to the High 
school there would have been no 
class to graduate this year, but Miss 
Townsend and Mr. Rust have since 
made up a new 1914 class thus mak- 
ing graduation possible. It is under- 
stood exercises will be held as usual.
