Pupils of Jersey Shore High School refused to enter the building this morning when they found a swastika banner flying from the flag pole. As the Janitor climbed up the pole to remove the swastika, the 800 students sang the “Star Spangled Banner.” Principal I.V. Grugan then dismissed classes for the day. The banner was turned over to the police.
