The Assembly Room Already Crowded
The Class in Greek Has go Members.
When the school board in planning
for the new high school decided on seats
for 400 pupils they thought they were
rescrving space enough for many terms
to come. They evidently calculated
poorly. however. for today the enroll
ment is 40l. including the nine post
graduates, and every one Of the seats
in the assembly room is taken. The
facilities Of the high school are not
crowded, but they are comfortably filled
and 1t appears almost certain that II will
not be long until additional space Is
needed.
The pupils are getting used to their
palatial new quarters. For the first day
or two there was considerable trouble
caused by the pupils wandering into the
wrong rooms. and cases of getting lost
were numerous. Each room is known
by its number and these numbers were
painted on the outside of the doors. The
days were warm and the doors were left
open that the numbers could not be
seen, which accounted for many Of the
blunders. Since then however the num-
bers have been placed on both the inside
and the outside of the doors,
