Enrolment At
RivervieW Hits
A New High Mark
Addition Is Being Made to the
Trout School. Miss Davis
Transferred to Trout.

Enrolment at RiverVieW high
school this fall has reached an
all-time high of 425, Prof. Wade
Eller announces.
The enrolment last September
was $50, thus showing an increase
of around rs. Two new teachers
have been added, Miss Gladys
GRAPHICAL, 5th grade teacher and
Miss Lois Dickson, in the primary
department and public school
music.
The increase was largely due
to the consolidation of two one
teacher schools.
Mr.. Eller also reports sub
stantial increase in enrolment in
the Trout school, and it has be-
come necessary to build an addi-
ton to the school building. This
school is located in the River
view school district.
Work was started on this ad-
dition last week and will be COM
pleted in the near future. The
ground is also being improved.
Miss Margaret Davis, who did
an outstanding job as teacher at

Battle With Madison Here

aggregation in the state. The fl
nal score was 35 to 0.
Crippled badly by the absence
of the ace kicker and passer and
by the loss of Hartzog who was
injured in the first quarter when
he sustained a broken nose, the
Lansing team fought a defensive
battle on land and in air.
It is significant that Lansing
made 8 first downs to~&tsnAiry's
7, but that they failed to score.
Mt. Airy scored 7 points in the
first Quarter; IA in the second

Playing on the starting lineup
