Speaking OF the increasing enroll
ment in the high school. Principal
Hunt recommends the election of an

the number OF papers that should be
returned 10 the students.s
The only remedy" Principal Hunt
adds. is an increase in. the teaching
staff" The faculty now numbers sew
enteen full-time and one part-time
teacher.
