The brilliance on an early morn

landscape; the silver radiance of
the moon is indiscriminate witii

When Silver-time comes, enjoy

OPEN FORUM
Roxboro. N. C
October 31, 1540
To Parents of Pupils
fit Central Grammar School:
Due to an extremely crowded
condition oxisting at Central
Grammar school both on the play
ground and in the building we are
asking the kindest consideration
on the part of the parents as well
as the whole-hearted and sincere
copcration with the school and
faculty. The schools first consi
deration is the child—-therefore
with that one phase in mind a
new and changed schedule is be
ing set up.
This is our earnest request, that
the parents help in the problem
for greater safety and an all
around happier situation by ear
nestly endeavoring to keep the
town children at home as long
as they possibly can both in the
morning and at the lunch hour.
Please note the general regular
daily schedule. Teachers on duty
at 7:35 daily to receive Truck
Children Only. Building opened
to town children at 8:35, there
fore parents are urged to keep
every town child at home until
8:15. Central school can be reach
ed in twenty minutes from any
point in town.
The noon recess has been divi
ded into two periods of 25 min
utes. During the first half the
Primary grades play out while
the Grammar grades eat lunch.
During the second half the Gram,
mar grades play out while the
Primary grades eat lunuch. All
town children have 50 full min
utes for lunch. Will you help re
lieve the crowded playground by
letting your child play at home
until 12:30? All Primary children
go directly to their rooms when
they return. The Grammar grade
children stop on the playground.
This plan should give you child
a comfortable 50 minutes relaxa
tion period.
On rainy days every town:
child has 30 minutes to go heme
and come iback It would be bet-1
ter to give your child a lunch
rather than have him out in the i
rain. On these days Primary town!
children will be out at 1:50 and!
Grammar grades at 2:50. The tea
cher will be on duty until 4 o’-
clock or until the truck child
ren have gone. Thus you see a
teacher has a full day from 7.35
a. m. to 4 p. m. or later,
your cooperation is needed.
Inda Collins, principal,
Central Grammar School.
