RECORD NUMBER OF
v. H. S. FRESHMEN

Following the semi-annual exami-
nations and promotions. the second
term of the current year in the Will
mington schools started today. Thou
sands of pupils moved forward while
the number left back this term is
smaller than ever before. This Is due
10 the careful revision that has been
made by Professor Scott Of the Gle
mentary grade. About 200 boys and
girls enter the freshman class of the
High School. This is the largest
freshman class TO ever enter the
High School at this time OF the year.
As only fifty students we're out in the
February 1916 class the influx of the
new freshmen class will tax the ca
pacity of the High School to the limit.
II will be necessary to utilize every
available inch of space TO accommo-
date them. The completion OF the
school addition next September, will
do away with what would otherwise
be a serious problem.
Superintendent Scott feels that che
class of 1920 will enter the Wilmington
High school under very fortunate cir
cumstances. and that it will be mort
