412 NOW ATTENDING
WOODSBORO SCHOOLS
On December 6 there were 412
pupils attending the Woodsboro
schools. Of this number 370 were
enrolled in the white schools. It
is interesting to note the big turn-
lover in pupils in the Woodsboro
schools. Since school opened in
September, that is within the last
12 weeks, 39 new pupils have en-
tered the Woodsboro schools, 36
have moved away. This makes a
change of 76 pupils in the past 12
weeks. Our enrollment stays prac-
tically the same, but one can read-
ily see that it lacks a good deal of
being the same pupils all the time.

ment during the party, will go to
