Colfax High School Opens With Enroll
ment of ZIG Pupils.

The Colfax high school was opened
informally Monday morning with large
number of pupils, patons and friends
OF the school present They assembled
in the auditorium of the new building
and Prof. DeMoss made a talk relative
to the school work and school regula-
tons. A formal opening will be had
when the new building is completed
and seats SUPPLIED for the auditorium.
With the commodious buildings and
interest manifested by the pupils and
patrons, and able faculty, this session
promises to be the most flattering in
the history of the school. The faculty
is follows: j. R. DeMoss, principal;
Jas. Randolph, Asst. principal; Miss
Lou Ella Avra, domestic science; Miss
Lucille Hulse, music; and Misses Lillian
M. Smith, Beatrice LIE Blanc, Irma Van
Lackey. Irma BroadweIl, Lucy Babin
and Mary Proctor.
The enrolment for the first two days
of this session is two hundred and seven
ty-six pupils, distributed as follows:
Primary Miss Proctor teacher. forty
nine; Second grade Miss Babin, teach
err. forty-one; Third grade Miss Broad
well teacher, thirty-nine; Fourth and
Fifth grades Miss Lackey teacher, fif-
ty-four; Sixth and Seventh grades
Mr.. Randolph teacher, forty-five; High
School Miss Smith and Miss Leblanc
teachers, forty eight. This is the larg-
est number ever recorded Cor this school,
and is most likely due in part to the in
terest manifested in the new depart
ment of home economics. During the
first month of last session the enroll
ment was two hundred and forty-nine,
the increase thus totaling twenty-seven,
which will most probably be increased
during the month.
