LAKEVIEW, May 6, --- An undetermined number of students of the Lakeview school left classes here Friday afternoon apparently to protest an order by Supt. S. L. Darst.
John Stanfield, Bellefontaine, Logan-co school superintendent, said Saturday morning he was investigating the situation and was awaiting further word from Darst.
The Lakeview superintendent was in Springfield Saturday morning with a group of students and could not be reached.
STANFIELD SAID preliminary investigation had revealed that the pupils apparently disapproved of an order from Darst banning students from the school building after school hours unless authorized by a faculty member. Darst issued the order, Stanfield said, because several windows in the building had been broken recently.
