Crowded Conditions:
Because of the large enrolment
in Third and Fifth Grades this
year, two extra teachers were add
ed to the faculty. For the same
reason, it was necessary for Mrs.
Florence Pearson, with her large
Sixth Grade, to be transferred to
the High School side of the build
ing.
Next year. we shall be even more
crowded. The Board of Trustees
and the Principal, Mr.. Tawes, have
been trying to obtain a portable
building which can be used tenn
porarily until we get our new
school addition.
Building Program:
Our proposed school S addition
calls for 4 elementary classroOms,
a gymnasium, locker rooms, shop
room, and gym equipment. Here's
hoping Greenwood taxpayers will
vote favorably in the referendum
on November 10, so that we may
hold our own with our neighboring
towns who have recently complet-
ed fine additions to their schools.
Crowded conditions interfere with
good teaching, good learning. and
good discipline.
School Slogan:
Therell always be a Greenwood
High! Let's not lose our identity!

inspirational. We get real song
fest and musical workout under

town Church on Sunday afternoon,
October IA, in commemoration of
it's founding 177 years ago. Mr..
