Late enrollments will probably extend the total enrollment to nearly 900. The largest class is the kindergarten with 123 pupils. Due to the unusually large enrollment, and since there is only one room available for the kindergarten, it was necessary to make three sections instead of two as has been the custom. The three groups will meet as follows: 8:20-9:50, 10:20-11:50, 1:00-2:30. Miss Betty Davis, who was originally employed to teach first grade, will help with one section of the kindergarten in addition to hex* work in the primary rooms. The tentative enrollment in all grades was: kindergarten 123, first grade, 98, second grade 82, third grade 63, fourth grade 60, fifth grade 74, sixth grade 67, seventh grade 51, eighth grade 58, seventh men 62, sophomores 50, juniors 44 and seniors 42. This greatly increased enrollment, especially in the lower elementary grades emphasizes that we will have to plan additional housing for our elementary schools in the near future. The three days pre-school meetings for teachers Sept. 1,2, 3, proved very helpful. Plans are being made now to help make these days even more beneficial another year. The North Side Chevrolet Company has delivered a new Chevrolet for use in our driver training courses this year. Seniors will be enrolled in the course the first semester and juniors the second semester. Clyde Sallee will teach the course. Our first football game is with Brownsburg at Pike Township tonight.
