a 60 per cent rise in enrolment Of

years, on the basis of the existing

"At the present time. there are

SYSTEM. Roland pointed out.
Nearly half of these are in the
first three grades"
within three years there will
be TO- 900 students in the first six
school grades at the present rate
of growth, he declared. "The
overall school population may be
over Is, 900 if the present popula-
ton remains stable"
Thehe are over 800 pupils in the
third grades here. At the end of
nine years, New Hanover High

to have a senior class of at least
600 students by 1856. There were
800 in the MINIS senior class last
year.

whether they will introduce into

Senator-elect Lennon indicated
that the county boards request was

the court before agreeing to intro

In the meanwhile, leaders of the
