SCHOOL ITEMS
Last year we published a school
paptr and althouf k it was quite a
success we have decided to write
up the school news in the Home
Journal.
People all over Houston County
read the Home Journal, therefore,
more people will get the benefit of
the school news.
Some people think that one
Perry paper is enough, so be sure
and get the Home Journal every
week and don't miss the School
News.
Up to the present, the Perry
consolidated School has enrolled
101 pupils for the year 1925-26.
The one session system is now
in operation. School opens at 9:10
and dismisses at 2:43.
Chapel exercises are held every
day. Plans are being made for
these exercises, which will make
them both interesting and in
structive.
The WilliHgham Sash and Door
Co. of Macon donated four benches
and a joggling board to our play
ground equipment. These are
greatly appreciated.
J. C. Odona of the Sophomore
Class was chosen as a delegate to
represent our school at the South-j
eastern Fair in Atlanta. The Agri
culture School of the University
of Georgia has asked that two
delegates be sent from each county.
The Board of Education has
purchased the lotonthe right of
the school grounds. Although wo
are not posti ve, it is rumored that
our long hoped for basketball
court and gynasinm is to be erect
ed on it. We certainly hope that
it is true, but even if it is not, we
know that we are going to have
one somewhere, and not sometime
in the distant future but right
away. We wish to thank the Board
nevertheless,for we know that they j
will use the lot to some advantage
for the schoel.
