Word was received by the Roy
School thai A. X. DAVIS Jr. viii grad-

1t is our intention to keep the S. A.
readers informed of the happenings
of our school each week for the bal
ance of the term thru the columns
of the paper.
The enrolment for the school this
week Is as follows: First primary
fourth 50; fifth and sixth "A; seventh
and eighth S5; high school Is or a
total of 26S pupils enrolled. Not Sc
bad for little town of 700 people,
do you think SO?
1t is noticeable fact that very
few patrons have visited the school.
We would appreciate very much if
every patron of the district would
visit our school and see the work
being done in the school. This is
your school as well as our school.
The crowded conditions of the Roy
School at present is surely evidence
that we need new High School build
ing. Why not let our 1920 slogan be,
"a New High School for Roy"
Miss Adreon the new teacher for
the second primary has taken the
work over caused by the resignation
of Mrs. Carr and is getting started
off nicely in the work.
1t is rumored and with good foun-
dation that one of the Roy pupils will
be married next Monday. Miss Ofelia
Lucero is the lucky bride.
It's too bad that our basket balls
have not yet arrived so that we might
enjoy these beautiful days.
