School Enrollment
Hits New High
At Total of 508
The enrollment in Palmer
School has shattered all former
records and it’s still growing, it
was announced this week by Su
perintendent W. T. Zahradnicek.
At press-time, there were 508
students already enrolled, and a
number of late-comers still are
due.
Mr. Zahradnicek said he had
no doubt that the registration
would reach 550 before next
spring.
The biggest job in Palmer’s
elementary school at present is
in the hands of Miss Alice Jean
Sweetman. fourth grade teacher.
She has 43 pupils in her class.
Heaviest enrollment in the high
school is in the junior class,
which has registered 39 pupils.
For the first time, a modified
junior high school plan of in
struction is being attempted in
the Palmer schools. Students of
the seventh and eighth grades
are sharing with senior high
school students the privileges of
gym classes, chorus, band, shop
and home economics.
This program has in part been
made possible because the school
has been fortunate in securing
for its faculty two women ac
credited for the teaching of
home economics. Mrs. Nancy
Wade, science instructor, also
holds a Smith-Hughes credential
in home economics. Mrs. Carolyn
Miller is the regular instructor
in that department.
