Farmington t Farmington News The Farmington School Building was very attractive for the opening of this school year as it had been painted inside and out during the summer months. New study hall seats, blinds, manual training equipment, and library books are also appreciated. The enrollment is larger than that of last year. lt is as follows: Migh School ........... v ......,.,..v 42 Eight Grade .,...,, - A -20 Seventh Grade ..... ..... ..... 2 7 Sixth Grade ,-,. - - -31 Fifth Grade .... . ......te,.s.. 28 Fourth Grade .... - - 2 26 Third Grade ............,......... 26 Second Grade .,-.-,-----,-----,,,, 22 First Grade ................,.,.,,. 15 Due to the congestion of the sixth, seventh, and eighth grades, the School Board, acting upon the advice of County Superintendent Berg, secured another teacher, Mrs. Mary K. Olin, after school had begun. This change made possible the departmentalization of the upper grades. The pupils have become adjusted to the new system and it has received much praise. The Parent-Teachers Association has two hundred and fifty members enrolled this year. They have purchased new furniture and supplies for the school rest room, additional dishes for the kitchen. and under the direction of Mrs. Frank Wade, the organization presented the Zander-Gump Wedding , at the Opera House, on February twenty-first. , Beginning with the new year. hot lunches have been served at noon to the pupils. This valuable service, which was previously rendered by the P. T. A., has now been placed on a self sustaining basis. Various programs have been given during the year. Thanksgiving was celebrated by combining the programs of several grades. We had a Community Christmas program for church and school. The school's part in the service was the presentation of a pageant of the Nativity. , On the morning of January twenty-third, there was a special session of the Farmer's Institute for the school children. The High School and Eighth Grade have been divided into four literary groups: the Guest, the Wohelo, the Jo-Li So, and the Mercurian Societies. Every Friday afternoon during the second semester programs have been given. Frequently we have had visitors and they have said that the programs showed steady improvement. We expect to have several entrants in the County Literary Contest. In April the Seniors will present a class play ,at the Opera House. Tuesday evening April 23, will be Senior classfnight and Commencement will be held on Thursday evening, April 25. Prof. Edgar A. Packard, of Kent State College, will address the graduating class.

Due to the lack of keen interest in baseball and trouble in procuring a suitable practice field, baseball was discontinued and a start in football courageously attempted. Pants, shoulder pads, and head gears, were purchased by the athletic association. The boys furnished the rest of their outfits. One game was played with Garrettsville early in November. The boys are rearing to go for next year. Brookfield, Newton Falls, Leavittsburg, McDonald, Cortland, and Liberty have offered us dates on their schedules for next year.
