New Schedule to Start Next Year-Speaking Con-
 test Held

Starting next year, a part time schedule of classes for first year students at the Torrington High school will be effected, this having been decided at a special meeting of the board of education held Monday evening at the office of su- perintendent of schools, George !. Vogel.
 Glasses for seniors, juniors and sophmores will be conducted similar to the present method.
 The large increase in enrolment at the school necessitated the insti- tuition of the part time schedule for freshmen so that all of the equip- ment of the school would be in use throughout the day. instead of only part of the daw if the entire school schedule was placed on part time basis.
 Under the present system, mem bers of the freshmen class will be deyided into two classes, one having sessions in the morning and the other in the afternoon. It Is plan ned to hold the morning sessions from a. m. to 12:30 p. m. and the afternoon sessions between 12:45 and 5:15 p. m.
 Sessions of the senior, junior and sophmore classes will as at present, be from SPAS to 11:50 a. m. and 1:30 to 3:30 D. m.
 The new system, it is expected. will necessitate the employment or about six new high school teachers. This will increase the faculty to about 40 teachers. The prospective enrolment by l. t~~I fNr H n next year totals, 1,15S pupils. in- cluding 182 seniors, 232 juniors, 326 sophmores and AIS freshmen. Prize Speaking Contest at High School.
