There has been a little confusion as to the date of the opening of Wakelon School. At first it was thought that the school would open on the 31sy of August, but it was changed to September 7th, and it was published a few weeks ago that the date for opening would be on the 7th of September.
Last week the Record made a mistake by stating that the opening would be on the 2nd of September. We are sorry that a “figure 2” appeared where a “figure 7” should have been.
It is definitely decided that SEPTEMBER 7th is the opening date, and not September 2nd.
Parents, have your children ready for MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 7th, and see to it that every one is on time.
It is a big job for the school authorities—Superintendent, principal, and teachers—to get everything in shape for the opening.
The parents have a part to take in this matter, as they can be of great help to the school authorities by having their children on hand in time.
Wakelon school is looking forward to one of the best school years of the school’s existence, and the faculty of the school have been chosen with an eye single to this end.
Boys and girls, get ready now, as vacation time is about over, and you must get busy with your books.
It is hoped that each boy and girl will start out with the full determination to do his or her part in studies, thereby co-operating with the teachers in every way, that their school may go on record for this session as being the best ever had.
