5 Cents a Copy
t About 3,000 children are ex
pected to register in the schools
of Carrboro and the Chapel Hill
Administrative District rv*xt
week, a survey indicated yester
day.
Some of the schools will be
j pushed for space, others will not
|be so crowded but will feel the
‘first effects of the growing school
i population, principals said.
The principals based their es
timates of enrollment on the fig
ures at hand, histories of late
registrations, and some guess
work. But, by and large they are
not expected to be far off.
By schools, the breakdown in
anticipated enrollment on the
first day next Wednesday fol
lows :
Miss Mildred Mooneyhan, prin
cipal, said she was expecting
about 050 students to register at
the Chapel Hill F.lementary
School, but that she did not ex
pect any serious overcrowding.
The Glenwood E 1 e m e n tary
School expects about -100 stu
dents, according to Principal
Raymond Kiddoo, and there will
more than likely' be more than
1 30 pupils in some of the class
rooms.
Cart boro Principal Reid Suggs
said he looks for about; 475 pu
pils to show up next Wednes
day. That will necessitate use of
I every available space iti the
, school.
Prinpicaff. .). Wesley Noble is
looking fui about 425 students
to register at the Chapel Hill
High School, which will cause
the school to begin feeling the
effects of crowding. For instance,
use of the visual aids room this
year will be shared by the phy
sical education class.
Mr. Noble also reminded new
students, whether they are new
i comers to town or from feeder
| schools in the county, of the
j special orientation program at
, the high school next Tuesday
morning at 10:30 o’clock. They
will meet the teachers, tour the
building, and become acquainted
with the Chapel Hill High
School program and methods.
Principal C. A. McDougle an
ticipates the Lincoln High
School enrollment will be about
405, but believes it will increase
before the end of the month.
Some of- the rooms will be over
crowded, he added.
At Northside School Principal
lames i’ease is making prepara
tions to receive more students
than last year when the registra
tion was 015, That will crowd
almost all rooms there.
Considerable work was done
in and around the this
!summer, and much of it was in
complete this week. At the Chap
el Hill Flementary School where
I fire towers were being installed
and some floors tiled, the scene
;could be called a mess. It was
doubtful whether the work would
be completed by next Wednes
day.
At Glenwood, the playground
space has been trebled in size
and, according to Principal Kid
doo, “is now 400 percent better.”
Carrboro had work done on the !
basement room which was wet
and subject to considerable cri-j
tieism last year. The room is
now said to be dry. Patrons of |
that school are hoping construe-j
tion of the proposed new school
i will begin about November.
At the Lincoln School, the
gymtorium has been completed,
isome repairs made, and the ex
iterior of the building painted,
i Patrons and school officials hope
! construction of a shop will be
gin later in the year.

Chapel Mill Chaff
L. G.
I have never known an
alumnus more devoted to the
University than the Cuban,
Thomas L. Llorens, who was
here this week with his wife
and pretty eight-year-old
daughter, Maria del Carmen.
He was graduated in 1911,
and in the 45 years since
then he has been coming
every two or three years to
see his friends and stroll
about the campus and the
village.
Mr. Llorens has lived all
his life in l’alma, a little city
in eastern Cuba about thir
ty miles from the big city of
Santiago. He and his broth
ers Francisco and Felix en
tered the University in the
fall of 1907. Their record
of residence here, I feel
sure, has never been match
ed by any other students:
four yeaj's without going
back home a single time.
Mr. Llorens speaks Span
ish and F.nglish .with equal
ease, but his wife and their
granddaughter speak only
Spanish. Excuse me, that’s
not precisely true: I did
hear two English words from
Maria; when she accepted
the offer of a piece of can
dy she said “thank you.” She
sat on a couch while her
lather and I talked and she
made a charming picture
with her clear-cut features,
her dark eyes and hair, and
her dainty lace-trimmed
frock.

Hospital Traffic
i
Gets a New Lane
This was a banner week for
paint in Chapel Hill and for rno
■ torists who have heretofore had
difficulty making a left turn
into N. C. Memorial Hospital
[larking lot from the Pittsboro
Koad. »
The Town of Chapel Hill this
I week painted new directional
; markers on practically every
I principal street in town. “We
!used just about every drop we
jhad," commented Town Mana
ger Tom Rose.
He, police, and hospital offi
cials were apparently well-pleased
that they had been able to work
jout a traffic lane system to
facilitate the left turn into Me
morial Hospital parking lot from
the Pittsboro Koad.
j The new marking puts hos
pital traffic into the left lane
moving south and permits non-i
turning traffic to move on the'
extreme right lane. It will great
jly expedite the flow of traffic,
,it is believed.
