School Enrollment
| Falls Considerably
Below Expectations
The 1961 first-week enrollment
figures were announced toy the
superintendent’s office Monday,
and first indications are that the
total school population will not
reveal a significant increase this
year.
The official figure of Friday
was 680 for all grades, as com
pared with 710 one year ago.
However, several new pupils en
rolled Monday, bringing the total
nearer to 700. Spring enrollment
estimates showed a total enroll
ment of 759 by Oct. 1, with a
corresponding increase in the
junior and senior high levels.
However, the expected increase
has not completely materialized
as yet. Superintendent Potter
stated, “we anticipated 60 fresh
men based on the spring regis
tration, and have only 46 now.
Of the 30 missing students act
ually enrolled in the high school
last spring, 22 are known to be
enrolled elsewhere, mostly “out
side”. Of the 17 other enrolled in
junior high last spring, 14 are
known to be eni-oiied elsewhere.
The elementary grades are run
ning close to our expectations
and will probably, within the next
few weeks, exceed our estimates.
It is too early to judge what will
happen at the high school levels.”
