STUDENTS ARE TO
ENROLL FOR FALL
TERM NEXT WEEK

Principal j. w. Casio of the East
Moline township high school an
nounces that his Office hours Will
be from to u in the morning and
from 2 to 800 in the afternoon be
ginning Monday of next week.
Prospective students should make
it a point to register as early as
possible, Mr.. Casio urged.
While it is expected that the high
wages being paid at the various in
dustrial plants will attract many
OF the youths, a marked decrease
in enrolment, as compared with
previous years, is not being antici-
pated, due to the fact that an an
usually large class was graduated
from the grade schools last spring
During the months of vacation
numerous repairs and improve
ments have been made at the school.
The entire basement has been plas-
tered, and four rooms will be used
by the domestic science and manual
arts departments.
The board has voted to install a
wood and metal turning lathe,
which will be a fine addition to the
equipment of the vocational train
ing department over which Haroln
Heimbeck will preside as instruc-
tor.
