Nome's Classroom
Shortage* Acute
In a report released by the
school the seriousness of Nome's
: classroom shortage was pointed
i up very sharply.
According to the announce- |
' ment the anticipated enrollrm it i
for the 1961-1962 school year
i will exceed 730 pupils and will
I probably reach closer to 775-800.
; This breakdown of anticipated
j enrollments is as follows:
I Senior High — 150. Freshmen
j 60, Sophomores 35, Juniors 35,
I Seniors 20.
Junior High — 125. Seventh
J Grade 55, Eighth Grade 70.
Elementary — 510-550. First j
100-115, Second 100-105. Third
100-105, Fourth 70-75, Fifth 80
85, Sixth 60-65.
It was also pointed out that be
cause of the enlarging of high
school classes that it will be
necessary to schedule two classes
in subject areas required for
graduation. For example, the
freshmen class will have nearly
60 students. That will mean two
English, math, social studies, and
science courses to accommodate
the classes. When this situation
develops, and it now has, it neces
sitates extra classrooms and ad
ditional teachers.
In order to operate the Junior
Senior High School during the
coming year and not jeopardize
its accreditation, it will require
a total of 15 classrooms, includ
ing the gym and multi-purpose
room. The school has available,
with the annex, which is sub
standard, a total of 25 classrooms.
After removing these 15 required
classrooms from the total avail
able it leaves 10 classrooms to
accommodate over 500 elemen
tary students through the sixth
grade. The only immediate solu
tion is to double shift the first
six grades under the following
tentative schedule:
Morning shift — 8:00 a. m. to
12:30 p. m. <4V£ hours).
Afternoon shift — 1:00 p. m.
to 5:30 p. m. <4Vfe hours).
It is anticipated that 20 class
es will be on shift starting in
September.
Under the present state rules
and regulations — and course of
study requirements — first and
second graders must be in school
a minimum of 4Vi> hours, exclu
sive of recess time; third graders
must be in session, exclusive of
recess time, a minimum of 5
hours; and all others must be in

It’s a sure sign of spring when
Mr, and Mrs. Bill Brown arrive.
Mr. Brown is U. S. Engineer in
charge of the work on the Snake
River Harbor. Their quarters are
on Belmont Point.
session no less than 6 hours.
Primary pupils will not suffer
by shifting — timewise — but
they will suffer from two other
factors. First, the morning group
will have to get up much earlier,
a problem for many even with
the 9:00 a. m, starting time, and
second, the afternoon group will
generally be tired from strenu
ous playing all morning.
It will be the middle grade
group which will suffer the great
est loss because they will lose
nearly two hours of school each
day or ten hours per week. If we
carry the arithmetic on through
we have a total loss of 360 hours
or the equivalent of 15 school
days.
The report goes on to say that
the shift program is anticipated
for at least two years and prob
ably three depending upon the
construction of additional class
rooms within the next 24 months.
