It seems toe boys, students at
Robert E. Lee, were genuinely in-
terested in learning more about
anatomy. Some of them plan to
study medicine in college. So
they began doing some experi-
mentation at home.
A Highlands man whose cat
was missing discovered that it
had unwillingly contributed its
life to science a* the “patient”
in one of the operations. The man
learned the names of the boys,
but did not wish to file charges,
although he did want the boys to
be informed of the laws against
harming dumb animals.
Saturday morning the boys and
their fathers were read the law.
From now on. the boys will con-
fine Aelr dissections to school.
One thing they proved in their
experiments, though — a cat does
not have ntpe live*. —~
