The Randleman school opened for the fall term Monday, September 13, at 8:30 o’clock. Exercises were held in the school auditorium and announcements were made concerning the work for the year. A large number of the local school board were present to lend their encouragement to the teachers and children.
Mr. E. L. Shelton, who has taught in the Gaston County schools, is principal of the school this year. Mr. Shelton comes to Randleman highly recommended, and he has a splendid staff of teachers to support him. Many of the teachers who taught in the school last year are again at their posts of duty and warmly welcomed by both parents and children. Between five and six hundred children are enrolled in the school at present. Work is going forward on the new wing of the building and it is hoped that part will soon be finished as conditions are very much crowded. Work has begun well, however, and in spite of carpenters and contractors, everything bids fair to be a successful school term.
