Sparland Public School Notes Open with Small Enrollment
Sparland High opens fall term with small class sizes due to mines not in operation. Principal Miss Edna Zellhoefer teaches English and math, with Mr. A. Ganzer as superintendent and German, science, and history teacher. Enrollment is ten higher than any year since 1900, driving pride in attendance plans and college prep activities. The school accepted a baseball challenge from Lacon High, losing 20 to 3, while tennis clubs form and various classes advance in writing, civics, German, zoology, and economics.
