Buses May Take
Pupils to Resort
Board Discusses Sending
Students to Atlantic
City High School

Buses may be used instead of
system to transport students of
Atlantic City High and Vocational
schools from Mortified to the re-
sort city this fall, according to
plans which are being laid by
mem bers of the Mortified Board
of Education, following a meeting
in the Parker avenue school Tues
day night,
Because the city has no high
school of its own, and because the
school officials of Pleasantville
limit their high school, because of
its small size, to their own resi-
dent pupils and those in Egg Har-
Dor township, Mortified is oblig-
ed to send its students to Atlantic
City High School, providing for
transportation and paying tuition
on each enrolled student.
1t is believed that busses would
be cheaper and more convenient
for the Mortified students than
the trolley cars A preliminary
discussion at the meeting Tues
day will be further taken UP at
future meeting of the Board.
Mortified students who enroll
ed for the term of 1926-1927 i'll
the resort schools were announc-
ed as follows:
High school; The Misses Doro-
thy Brown, Charlotte Hannum,
Betty Snyder. Lillian Gardner,
Mabel Joslin, Emily Price, Militia
Price, Elsie Lucas, Doris Fenton,
Nellie Hambleton, Betty Godfrey.
The young men are as follows:
Robert Snyder, William Gourley,
Rollin Hardy, Nelson Hampton,

no Carr, Jr, Charles Crawford,
