Troy School News

at the beginning of the third week
of school shows an all-time high
mark in the history of the school
with facilities being taxed to take
care of the surplus students. The
enrolment by rooms and grades is
as follows:
1st and End grades, Miss Chris
topherson-35.
End A and 3rd grades, Miss An
derson-31.
4th and 5th grades, Miss Will
cox-52
Junior High, 9th, 7th, and 9th
grades, Mr.. Callaghan, Miss Ovens
and Mr.. Kemper-65.
High School-75.
Thus it is seen that an additional
teacher is badly needed in the fourth
and fifth grades but it seems that
such will be unlikely unless the state
can furnish the school district with
emergency funds. Such an appeal
has been made to the state depart
ment and as yet word has not been
received. So far the entire number
of enrolled students have not been
present at any one time on account
of some being kept out because of
q
cough. When all of these students
iustments will be made to relieve
the fourth and fifth grade teacher
of a part of her classes SO that a
more equitable distribution will re-
suit The crowded conditions are
not ideal but we will do the best
that we can to adjust matters with
the facilities available.
Figures also disclose the fact that
the buses are bringing in the fol-
lowing number of students from out
of town.
