the high schools of the state who
are preparing themselves for teach
ing, but far more of them were
teachers who returned to school
during the summer months the bet
ter to equip themselves for their
work in the school systems where
they are engaged.
OF the siXty-f1ve nonresidents of
the state, forty-eight students were
from Illinois, particularly the part
of the state just across the state
line from such Illinois towns and
cities as Paris, Marshall, Martins
vile, Casey, Mt. Carmel and Rob-
inson.
Eigh other states were represent
ed with seven students from Ken
lucky, two from Ohio, one from
Pennsylvania, one from Missouri,
one from Nebraska, two from Okla
homa, one from Tennessee and one
from Arizona. One student also was
enrolled from Panama.
The fact that the school serves
the entire state is prove. when it
is considered that eighty-nine
counties were represented within
the ranks of the student body and
only nine of the eighty-nine were
represented by fewer than three
students.
