% Derno ®rj E agle VERNONIA, COLUMBIA COUNTY, OREGON VOLUME 16, NUMBER 35 Grade School Will Receive Students on September 5 for Term Students Will Attend On ly Half Day Tuesday, Registration to Be Made E. H. Condit, Superintendent A tile Vernonia grade schools an nounced this week that the two buildings are in readiness for the opening of school. At the same time he stated that all fourth grade students who attended the Lincoln school during the last term in the third grade were to attend that school again this year in the fourth grade. Preparation has been made to give fourth grade instruction at both schools. However, should any of the students who last year at tended the Lincoln school in the third grade have moved so that their residence is near the Wash ington school, they may attend at the latter building. On Tuesday, the first day, no youngster should 'bring his lunch as school will be held only in the morning and busses will leave in time to return students to their homes in time for the noon hour. Part of the morning will be de voted to registration with the work to start Tuesday and each day of the year at 8:50 a. m. A major change in the scheduling of classes thu year is the placing of the acti vity period at the end of the day to conform more nearly with the high school change to that time. The Change will make possible the staging of special programs at a more convenient time than was pos sible last year. Work off repair and redecorating the Washington building has been completed with the exception of the kindergarten which, it is be lieved, will be in readiness for the opening. , CELEBRATION COMMITTEEMEN TO HOLD LAST MEET Harry 'Culbertson, general chairman in charge of the Ver nonia Host Days celebration, this week called the last meet ing of the committeemen to make final plans for the three- day event.
