The Bolivia school is an ac- j

nine teachers in the elementary
school and one music teacher, j
This is the eighth year that the
school has been operating as a;
consolidated school doing high l
school work. There are 108 high j
school students and 348 in mej
grades. I
The school day begins at 8:1b1
o'clock when the bell rings forj
the children to come in. Five j
minutes are given the children
to get in the building and into
the assembly program. The as|
sembly programs are divided in
to two sections. The high school
and the seventh grade come in ,
for the assembly on Monday and
Thursday mornings and the first i
six grades on Tuesday and Friday
morning. On Wednesday the
entire school comes to the assembly
and when the program is
not in the hands of the principal
some visiting speaker has charge. ;
The program on Monday and ]
Tuesday is given over to music ,
with the various churches having i
charge. Solo, duet, trio, quartet, ,
instrumental and group singing!,
is given. On Thursday and Friday
the programs are the outgrowth:
from some of the class room IJ
work, the various rooms being I
responsible for about one pro- j
gram per month. H
The recess periods are given
with the primary and grammar
grades going out at different,,
times. The morning periods are |j
about fifteen minutes long and
are free-play periods with the
teachers on duty at various posts.
The afternoon periods are twen-!
ty-five minutes in length and are,
given to supervised play. <
The lunch and free-play period!
. at noon are in two divisions in!
order that the equipment may be!
used more and also for the purpose
of not having the smaller J
children run over and hurt by.;
I the larger folk. The first six |
grades have supervised lunch j;
from 11:15 o'clock to 11:30 i
o'clock and free play from 11:30
o'clock to 12:10 o'clock. Mr.]
Overcash, the sixth grade teacher j
has charge of the larger boys on .
the play ground and Miss Griffin, ]
the fifth grade teacher, charge ]
of the larger girls. Games of the,!
season, such as football, baseball, j
and basketball are engaged in. :
From 12:00 o'clock to 12:15 o'- i
clock the high school and seventh '
grades have supervised lunch period
in their rooms. From 12:15 i
o'clock until 1:00 o'clock they are i
on the play ground. Mr. Bright,
the Agriculture teacher, has
charge of the boys and Miss
Oates, the English and French
teacher, has charge of the girls.
Mr. Page, the seventh grade teacher,
has charge of this grade at
this time. Play is recognized as
an important part of the school

done to encourage this phase of i
the child's activity. The Bolivia
teachers feel that they get sonie
very good teaching across by the
group play. Most of the students
take pert in some kind of game.
The high school periods are
fifty minutes long, giving five
minutes for the students to chanIge
classes. Double periods are
given to the science classes twice
a week. In addition to the regu*
lar high school cirriculum, agriculture
is offered" to all the students.
About 80 of the high
school students take agriculture.
There is another article about the
agriculture on this page.
The school day closes at 3:30
o'clock. The teachers supervise
the loading of the busses.
There are three buildings on
the campus. In addition to the
school building, there is a modern
eight-room teacherage and a
community building 30x45 feet.
In this building many of the
meetings for the community are
held. It also serves as a lunch
room and a community canning
piant. The Parent-Teacher Association

down for the years work.
The 4-H club met once a month
until school closed and then
the time was changed to the first j
and last Thursday in each month, j
The financial question came upj
and was soon settled by selling j
ice cream. Two of the members
sold every Saturday afternoon j
and the girls now have money in '
the bank, which they have plan-1
ned to use soon for building a
club house. Beginning in June
and selling through October 5,
the club spent $69.99 for ice
cream, selling $95.41, and making
a clear profit of $25.42. During
that period of time the total ex-1
penses of the club were $7.17, j
leaving a balance of $18.25.
Besides the assigned work the
girls have made a "Dutch Doll" j
spread which they will sell. The
work for the past year has been j
practically beginners work.
The girls attended the Annual j'
1-H Club meeting held at Carolina
Beach in June. Each girl re-!
ported a nice time and members j
are looking forward to the meet- j
ing next year. They have had 1
socials during the summer and
are planning to have a Hallowe'en
party this week.
Mrs. H. F. Mintz, the leader,
seems interested in the club work
and has been an efficient leader.
The girls are very grateful to her
for the many efforts she has put
forth and the services rendered.
