In ox-der to operate the school
we found it necessary to charge
an entrance fee of $2.50 per pu
pil for each term.
The entrance fee for the Fall
term was paid with the excep

entrance fee for the present
term is not paid. We will soon
publish a list of those who have
paid. We hope that the patrons
will have enough pride and in
terest in their school to pay this
fee at once.
There are a number of the
pledges made in 1920 to make
Uhis a real High School with 11
