An additional room having been pro
vided at this school, plans are be

tivities to include some Manua
Training for the boys and SOM
Home Economics for the girls with
out increasing the number of tea
chers.
The first school day was made ;
full day, buses leaving on schedul,
at four o'clock. At each of these
schools a cafeteria was in opera
tion and showed patronage by the
pupils and teachers as follows, in.
Guiding pupils who supplemented
the lunches which they brought
from home through purchases in the
cafeteria: The elementary school
served approximately 100 pupils
which was more than twenty per
cent of the enrolment. In addition
to these many other pupils who did
not wish to supplement their lun-
ches through the cafeteria remained
in school rooms to eat their lunch
under the care of several teachers
who remained at the school during
the noon hour TO look after the pu-
pills who remained. The junior-sen-
ior high school cafeteria served ap-
proximately $50 pupils which was
more than rs per cent of the en-
rollment.
In the elementary school the pu-
pills found at the door of each room
a list of the pupils who were to at
| tend school in that room, together
with the name of the teachers.
There were five employees of the
school board in the office to receive,
register and direct the entering pu-
pills and by nine o'clock the office
and halls were clear. In the elemen-
tary school there were two new tea
chers this year-Miss Dorothy Der
rickson in grade 8 and Miss Ellen
Wallace in grade 2.
At the junior-senior high school
the sixth grade went to their rooms
and entered upon their years work
under the direction of their teach
ers. There are two new teachers in
this grade, one of whom is substi-
/. tuting for Mrs. Helen A. Rogers
whose recent illness prevents her
taking up her duties at the begin
ming of the year. These new teach
ers are Miss Marguerite Edgar, per-
manent, and Miss Cornelia Taylor, |
temporary.
Parents of pupils in the sixth |
grade wishing to visit the school !
will find all of the sixth grade pu-
pills on the first floor of the new
building. In the junior-seniOr high |
school there are no new teachers /
this year who are new to the dis
trict. Miss Helen Swain, however,
is new to this department of the
school since she taught last year in
our second grade. Miss Swain is tea
cher of social science in grades Z
and this year. Parents of pupils
in these two grades will find their
children in home rooms on the sec
Ond floor.
Play grounds at the new school
are not yet in perfect order on. ac-
count of the fact that the grading
job begun during the summer has
not been completed. The facilities,
however, are there as last year for
football practice on the lot next to
The L. D. Caulk Company with the
added playing field inside the run
ming track which has now taken in
grass and will be used for football >.

quite a following of boys who wish :
to play football. Training will be ,

day of school to organize physical
