Notes of the School
Enrollments in the local school one
day recently were as follows: Elemen-
tary, 230, which is an increase over
last year; high school, 1913, which is a
decrease since last year.
The school faculty remains the same
with the exception Of Miss Louise Dill
lon, who now has charge Of the home
economics department, instead of it
being in charge Of Miss Nutter. Miss
Dillon is a graduate of the local school
and also graduate of Western Mary
land College.
Three new buses are on the school
routes this year. Carl McClintocl, who
was given the contract for driving the
Rabbit Hollow bus, died very suddenly
one day last week after an operation
for appendicitis, and the children and
teachers of the school regret very
much his passing.
School Lawn Greatly Improved
The school house grounds, on which
so much time and effort We're spent
during the past year, are really beau
tiful. The walks, which were so care
fully planned and we'll built greatly
improve the appearance of the en-
tire property. The grass and shrub
berry add wonderfully to the effect.
This project was completed with the
cooperation of the people of the COM
munity and the principal of the school
and members of the faculty and the
alumni association.
Just glance at this improvement
since its completion will give one
the idea that it was well worth the
