Slim Crowd at School Opening
A five day week with two holidays left 285 students reported for classes at Shutterigh School, far fewer than last year. Officials blamed Labor and Admission Day holidays and farm duties including grape harvest for the deficit. Enrollment may dip slightly due to families moving to defense towns. The first student assembly is planned for next Thursday with Russell Stone as student president. The year introduces aviation science as the new course required by the U S Army. A shrine honoring Robert Louis Stevenson stands in Portsmouth Plaza, San Francisco.
