FALLEN ACADEMY OPENING |
The 1928 Session Opened Today.
Formal Opening Will Take
Place Friday Night

The 1928 session of Allen Acad-
envy opened today with large num-
Der of the old students present and
many new faces. The principals and
teachers have been so busy enrolling
students that they found it impossible
to have their formal opening before
Friday night, due notice of which will
be published in these columns. The
campus and halls of Allen Academy
resemble hive of busy bees, swarm
ing in and out, amid the buzz of con-
yersation, as old students greet each
other, while others are busy introduce
ing their new friends and making
them feel at home in their new sur
roundings.
The indications are that the attend
ance will be the largest in the history
of the academy, and while large
have already arrived, it is
safe to say there are as many more
to come.
