TWELVE PUPILS MAKE.
SCHOOL HONOR ROLL
Public Schools Round Out Successiui
First MOnth-Diphtheria Situa-
ton Clearing Up.

The Oxford City Schools completed
the first scholastic month on Friday,
October 3. Superintendent A. +.
Hudson states that 384 pupils were en-
rolled in the white school and 115 IN
the colored school, which figures ne
believes to be considerably in excess
of these for the corresponding month
last year. An enrolment of 104 in
the high school grades is an excellent
large figure in proportion to the
total enrolment. Superintendent
Hudson believes it would be difficult
to find a parallel in the State.
Monthly reports issued on Wednes-
day show very satisfactory stand
ard of scholarship in the school as a
whole. The following pupils won
places in Honor Roll, which means
that they made an average grade OF
90 per cent. or above in every subject
studied and in department.
First Grade-Hugh Bryant, Gaitha
Browning, Benjiman Markette,, Cath
crime Delbridge, Emma Hickey,
Louise Leavell, Helen Meek, Mary
Neill, Lucille Wiley.
Second Grade-John Falkner, Jr.,
Ralph Friedman, Richard Mcclure,
Henry McElvaney, Emma Katherine
