Owing to the large number of stu dents and the newness of the school to many, there are no tentative Ag ues on the registration, but a con- Iservative estimate would lie between two hundred seventy five and three hundred. tf these a great many are entering high school for the first time, a goodly number being from other high schools but the majority being freshmen. Principal Drill stated that school would be in full sway by tomorrow and the regular routine would be fol lowed. He said that several new rul ings would be in effect, one being that the auditorium will be used as a study room and another that a part of every period ordinarily given to recitation would be given to study.
