FORMULATING PLANS
FOR SCHOOL OPENING
High School Students Can Get
Information During The
Coming Week

Principal H. c. Koch, of the Mt. Yer
non high school, announced today that
beginning Monday, the hours between
/ 40 and $3.50 p M will be set aside
at the high school building for inter-
viewing students in regard to their
school work for the coming year. This
particularly applies to out of town stu
dents, who have not attended the high
school previously.
Principal Koch asks that the pur-
chasing of text books by the students,
taking advanced work, be deferred un-
til after the opening of school, but
that first year pupils purchase their
text books the coming week, in order
to avoid congestion later.
The usual custom of procedure will
be carried out the first day of school,
Tuesday, Sept. 6, the hour for opening
being o'clock.
The regular teaching capacity in the
high school has been expanded to
twenty-one teachers this year, which
will permit the teachers to devote a
large part Of their time to study pupils
and special conferences with students.
