Raleigh, Nov. 1O-A total OF
866,277 Tar Heel school children
were enrolled in the States public

Hunter said the enrolment al
ready is 3,135 greater than at the
end Of seven months last year. This
years enrolment, he said, is the
largest since 1941-42, but it went
even higher some years prior to
that.
This years total enrolment in
cludes 614,685 white and Indian
children and 251,5 ,592 Negroes. The
number of high school students this
year is up 8,159 from last year,
but the elementary grade enroll
ment is off from 1948 by 1924 pu-
pills.
Hunter said most teacher allot-
ments for the school year have
been made by the third month. The
number of teachers include 1882
in rural schools and 1887 in city
schools, counting 226 teaching su-

Cookies Saturday, Help Get Camp

An appeal to support their ef-

selves with camping site near

from them this Saturday is

The cookie sale is to be part of

has been lacking. Even the par

apathetic toward their daugh-

movement, it was said.

Astounded by Ease
Everyone in the big Otterbein
gym was astounded by the ease
of Marysville's victory Wednes-
day night Even the most rabid of
Monarch fans were willing to
settle for a few points, prior to
the game.
The first quarter started out
like it might be a repetition of the
MarySville- Orange game of last
Saturday, as Mt. Gilead took a
5-3 lead. The Monarchs were out
playing the Indians in their floor
game, but were unable to hit their
shots. Things frankly looked
Shaky.
In the second stanZa, however,
MarySville began TO roll up the
points and the teams went to
their dressing rooms at time
with the Monarchs in front by
seven points, 2l-l4. Marysville
outscored the Indians 1879 during
that quarter as they controlled
practically every rebound from
both bankboardS and had posses
sion of the ball most of the time.

But Mt. Gilead was still far

Marysville continued the same

back until about midway through
the period. Then, they gave up
