Max Rife, division principal at the school, said that the protesters refused to leave school grounds after being told to do so by the principals.
Matamua and Bradley maintained that they were given permission to distribute the leaflets on school grounds by Brad Tate, School principal, when it met with another anti-draft member a short time before the incident.

Tampon-borne illness deadly if not treated
By ROSE SIMMONS Staff Reporter
It was a critical situation for a Prairie Village senior when she arrived last March at Watkins Hospital with symptoms that later would be identified as toxic shock syndrome.
Barnes was dehydrated and feverish, and her blood pressure had dropped dangerously low, she said.
Laura Baresm was not aware then, she said, that her symptoms could have been caused by toxic shock, a reaction to the drug ampiracetam aggrigated by the tampons she used.
She almost died in the ambulance that rushed her from Watkins to the University of Kansas Medical Center.
She said the doctors thought that she would die. A 15-year-old girl who was admitted the night before had died of similar symptoms.
Doctors at the Med Center thought she had spinal meningitis. She was moved to intensive care, started on antibiotics, 5,000 milligrams of antibiotics a day.
Two weeks later, however, Barnes was able to go home.
"I'm glad people are becoming aware of the disease," she said.
BEFORE 1975, the occurrence of toxic shock was so inifrequent that in many cases the symptoms were not associated with the disease, said Don Wilcox, director of the state Bureau of Epidemiology.
Reported cases of the disease have increased significantly since 1975, according to the Center. Three out of 100,000 women will fall victim to the
disease. Seven out of 100 victims will die.
Toxic shock is a disease that most frequently afflicts tampon users.
It strikes rapidly. Its symptoms are fever, vomiting, diarrhea and a sudden drop in blood pressure, which often results in shock, said Raymond A. Schwegler, a physician at Watkins.
Staphylococcus aureus, a bacteria, causes the disease. Wilcox said that the bacteria are found in the nasal cavity and attested to the tampon by the fingers.
Wilcox said that the disease frequently appeared to occur in women who have left tampons in too long.
TOXIC SHOCK usually occurs, Schwegler said, toward the end of the menstrual period and after continuous use of tammons.
In response to the Center's findings, Proctor and Gamble, the maker of Rely tampons, pulled the tampon off the market this week and has offered full refunds for the product.
Severely percent of toxic shock victims used Rely tampons, while 30 percent used other brands of tampon. This was due to the Center for Disease Control.
THE HIGHER INCIDENCE OF Rely tampon use in toxic shock cases probably is because of the way the tampon is constructed, Wilcox to be done to determine how the tampon may contribute to toxic shock.
The disease has a recurrence rate of 40 percent, Schwegler said. Research has not shown why those who have had the disease contract it again.
