The Tryon School opened on Monday, Sept. 1st, with a very pleasing attendance, 40 students being enrolled in the High School and 260 students in the Elementary School. Since the opening date quite a few new students have enrolled, making the present attendance in the entire school 318 pupils.
The Tryon High School has been very fortunate in securing the services of Mrs. T.G. Smith as teacher of English and Latin, and Miss Lenora Jeffries as teacher of mathematics and history.
Mrs. Smith is a graduate of Winthrop College, receiving an A.B. degree in 1918. Since graduation Mrs. Smith has been teaching in the Spartanburg and Forest City Schools.
Miss Jeffries is a graduate of Randolph-Macon College, receiving an A.B. Degree in 1917. Since graduation Miss Jeffries has been teaching in Florida and Morganton, N.C.
We have one new teacher in the Elementary School and have been very fortunate in securing the services of Miss Eva Missildine as teacher of the fourth grade and assistant athletic director. Miss Missildine is a graduate of Rollins College, receiving an A.B. degree in 1924.
