students and teachers were in the
two story fram building. Of this
number, few, if any escaped death
or injury of some sort
The eight room school was at-
tended by children from a radius of
ten jnilea from kindergarten age to
high school seniors The building,
struck with sudden and shattering
force, collapsed in a twinkling as the
roof was tom away.
The children were trapped in the
wreckage, some being killed out-
right. Others were pinne<V helplessly
under heavy timbers, unable to move
their groans and screams rising
above the storm were heart rending.
Alva Carter, high school teacher,
and 13 children were killed. Prob-
ably six others will die, physicians
said. Tote seven years old to high
school seniors of 18 were among the
dead.
