INCREASE EXPECTED

below-record troup, re
ported Principal M. W.
Weaver*
Commenting on the reasons
for the decrease. Princi
pal Weaver said, "In the
elementary grade only
forty-one of the expected
fifty-five pupils showed
up. This is a ten-pupil-
drop congsared to last
year’s figure of 393,
Our high-school showed a
fourteen pupil drop over
the 181 figure of last
year. The dropping out of
many students for mar
riage or work caused this
decrease.

month there should be a
better outlook for an in
crease in our attendance,"
