BANNERENROLLMENT
High School Largest ia It's
History.    Few of Rooms
Are   Over-Growded.    ,
The 'Public Schools' opened' on September 2 with a banner enrollment.
Full time sessions were started on
Wednesday so that "pupils and teachers lost practically no time in getting
started. The enrollment in the
grades is about tne same as usual.
However, a few of the rooms are
over-crowded. The enrollment in the
High School is the largest in it's* history; Already more than 195 have
filled out their registration cards. The
Higb School classes in some instances are also rather large. . In
some classes there are more than 40
pupils and of course pupils ana
teachers can not do their best work
under these conditions. In other
words the present corps of teachers
has actually more than it can. handle.
The enrollment in the high school by
classes is as follows:
Freshmen 72, Sophmores 56, Juniors 37, and Seniors 30.
It is gratifying to note that the
graduating class is the largest in the
history of the school. It is also
gratifying to note that there are 56
enrolled in the Sophmore class. Ordinarily the number of those starting
in the ninth grade becomes less m
proportion as they go On than is the*
case this year.
The ranks of the Senior class has
been augmented by 2 pupils from
other schools. The Junior class has
received 2 members in this way and
the Sophmores 5.
There is a large number of foreign
pupils this year than ever hefore.
Eighty-six high school students have
enrolled from outside school district.
An effort is being made to collect the
tuition as soon as possible.
