School opens with a large attendance

With a total enrollment of three hundred thirty pupils, - an enrollment surpassing by far that of any previous year, classes were resumed in the Randolph Consolidated School at Guys Mills and in the East Randolph School at Black Ash.

The large number of new entrants in the High School has made imperative the separating of the Commercial students from the Academic. The Commercial students have been assigned to the Sophomore room since the Junior-Senior room can no longer accommodate both Juniors and Seniors.

Downstairs, in the grades the attendance has also increased. As many as 44 children are enrolled in room 5 with Miss McKinney while Room 2 follows closely with an enrollment of 45 and Miss Bowes’s room with 42. The smallest is the primary room with ONLY 35.

The large increase in attendance is partly due, no doubt, to the fact that many families have moved into the district within the past few months. However, a marked increase is also shown in the number of tuition students enrolled. No fewer than twenty of these come to us from East Mead alone. The number from Wayne follows a close second with thirteen pupils, - all of whom are in High School.

Another, and probably the chief reason for the large attendance is the fact that far fewer pupils are dropping out of school at the end of the eighth year, but are continuing through Junior and Senior High School. Students as well as parents are realizing the splendid opportunity offered to boys and girls. No longer are the subjects limited to the academic field but pupils are offered a wide range of subjects from which to choose. Manual Arts, Agriculture, Home Economics, a complete Commercial course, - are all subjects open to the pupil who in turn is asked only to give his time and attention.

Following is a list of tuition students enrolled in the Randolph School at Guys Mills.
