an aviator for commercial flying here
and in other towns over the CarolinaS.
Before coming here Mr.. Siebenhausen
was employed as a flyer by the Caro-
lima Aero Company, Il commercial fly
ing concern which went into bank
ruptcy some time ago. Mr.. Sieben-
hansen had n claim against the COM
pany for something like $1,000 for
service rendered and the only way he
had to collect his wages was by taking
over the cOmpany's stock of flying
ships numbering three In all! Two of
the planes have been brought here
while the other is in Fairfield county.
According to Mr.. Siebcnhausen the
motors of all three planes are in good
shape and the three ships can be put
in good flying shape at comparatively
little expense. one of them cost S1O,-
900 originally. Mr. Siebenhausen be-
lievcS that If he can interest some
capital in the flying game that it will
prove profitable thing for. the stock
holders.
- An educational rally and jubilee
which will be addressed by number
of leading educators and others promI-
nent in educational work to be held
at the time the new 100000 school
building is completed is being planned
by Prof. f.. a. Montgomery, superin-
tendent of the Yorkville Graded
Schools. Mr.. Montgomery said yes
terday that while it could not be de-
finitely stated when the handsome
school building now in course Of con-
struction would be completed, he
thought it would probably be about
six weeks and he was planning to hold
the exercises in connection with the
opening along about Thanksgiving. 1t
is his idea to hold an educational cele-
braton that will be interesting not
only to parents and pupils of the local
school: but one that will prove worth
while to the friends of education over
the county and state. 1t has been
stated that the high school building
under way here when completed will
be one of the largest If not the largest
school building in the Piedmont sec
tion of the state. 1t is being built ac-
cording to the very latest plans for
school architecture and viii be
equipped with the very best in school
furnishings. 1t is believed that 1t will
be sufficiently large to take care Of
the needs of this community for
several years to come.
With 456 pupils enrolled, the
Yorkville Graded School entered upon
the work of the 1929 term yester-
day morning. Because of the fact that
the school building is deranged at
present by reason of building opera
tions, no formal opening exercises
were held, pupils being assigned to
their respective classes after brief
prayer uttered by Rev. 7. Tracy
Walsh, pastor of the Episcopal church.
Enrolment figures Of yesterday COM
pared with those for the opening az
year ago show an increase of about
twenty in the high school department
with enrolment of the lower grades
about the same as last year, Enroll
ment figures Yesterday showed 296 In
the lower grades and 100 pupils in the
high school department. Indications
are that these figures will be augment
ed before the close of the week. Fol-
lowing was the enrolment by grades:
Grade Id; grade 2-47; grade g.
Al; grade 4-43; grade SIS; grade 6
81: grade 7-42; grade S-48; grade
9-47; grade 1875; grade 11-4.
The eleventh grade this year is said
to be the largest in the history Of the
school and the grade is one of the
largest eleventh grades in the entire
state. Because of the enrolment which
will be increased it will be necessary
to employ two additional teachers, ac-
cording to a statement made yester-
day afternoon by Superintendent e. A.
Montgomery. Following are the
