More than 400 pupils between the first and seventh grades will have the opportunity probably the first time of their lives of sitting in a brand new spick and span schoolhouse when the new elementary school opens not later than March 1.
Owing to some delay in putting a few finishing touches on the building and clearing up the ground, the school could not be opened Monday, February 26, as previously thought. However, the building will be occupied some time this week.
In a meeting with the Elm Street school faculty Thursday, W.M. Marr reassigned the following teachers as faculty for the new school.
Principal—Mrs. R.E. Ranson.
Teachers
First Grade—Miss McGarnan.
First Grade—Miss Hortense Mosely.
Second Grade—Miss Clyde Wright.
Second Grade—Miss Gertrude Hughes.
Third Grade—Mrs. Craven Page.
Fourth Grade—Miss Blanche Burgess.
Fourth Grade—Miss Effie Cooper.
Fifth Grade—Miss Sallie Ratcliffe.
Sixth Grade—Mrs. A.M. Richardson.
Seventh Grade—Miss Hattie Fowler.
When the building is completed the new teachers will go to Elm Street school and get the pupils assigned to them and take up their duties in the new building. Since the auditorium has not been completed the formal opening program will not be given upon the entrance of the pupils but will be given as soon as the auditorium can be completed.
