The number of new pupils was
what less than last year, when
gistered, but Principal Stewart
tie expected that the total may be
swelled with additional entries before
the fall term starts in September.
A previous survey indicating the
nhmber of pupils expected to register,

slightly more than the number actual
ly registering,
Parents who have not yet registered
their children may obtain the neces
sary forms at the school office or at
the kindergarten room. Registrations
may be made throughout the summer,
although school authorities would pre
fer to have them as soon as possible.
Each child entering the school will
receive a free medical check-up by
Dr. R. M. Aldis, director of the Huron
County Health Unit. Parents will be
informed by Miss Mary Love, school
nurse, when this check-up will be
made.
Because of an overall increase in
the number of pupils at the school,
the school board is going ahead with
plans to use the rooms in the base
ment of the Masonic hall as a kinder
garten room in the fall. The program
of redecoration' at the public school
