Go To Rooms
When students arrive at the school
they should go directly to their room
for their particular grade Division
of students in the grades is to be
made on the alphabetical basis, be-

attempt has been made to classify
the students into slow and fas
groups, but this is being changed this
year The division now will be made
simply on the basis of dividing the
children into groups small enough
to handle.
Registration

to register and in the afternoon
textbooks will be issued and lessons
will be assigned.

of years ago have been refinished
or replaced. The entire grade school
and the study hall of the high
school have been equipped with the
latest design of artificial lighting.
All exit doors in both buildings
have been replaced with new doors.
New panic bolts and ball bearing
hinges have been installed. Now

cleaned up and put in ship-shape
