ROZelIe
Rozele's students are engaging
harder than ever in outside ac-
tivities such as athletics and IL
brary work this year, for a rather
unusual reason. Their auditorium
is being used for a double class
room, with chairs and desks and
everything, because of the en-
larged enrolment. Consequently,
the boys and girls spill out" into
more outdoor or other activities,
to take the place Of the missing
assemblies and events of that
nature.
The school is especially keen on
its touch football team, which they
hope will "go places" in the Grade
School League this Fall. Their
coach, Mr.. Robert Coates, is CIV
ing the boys thorough instruction,
and shares the enthusiasm of the
students for their teams chances.
