KILGOROUND
LESTER MURRAY

It is definitely time for seniors to go their own ways, some will leave headed for colleges across the country, others will attend schools locally and some will head to trade schools or go directly into the work place, but unfortunately some students have too much time on their hands.

Tuesday night, Jody Clements said three males entered the school grounds at Kilgore High School with mischief on their minds.

Clements said trees were rolled, windows, buildings and cars marked up, but the worst part was these three people placed the bodies of dead animals on different parts of the campus.

Clements said the incident has been turned over to the Kilgore Police Department for investigation and anyone having information about these fine gentleman can contact the police, the school or the newspaper and remain anonymous.

Don't forget to come out to R.E. St. John's Stadium tonight for the Kilgore High School graduation ceremony. The ceremony starts at 8 p.m. and if there is a rain out, the ceremony will be held on Friday night at the same time.
