The Nyrsa school board, meeting last Thursday night, set Monday, Feptembe’ a as the date for the opening of the Nyssa schools. The starting date, however, will be contingent on the progress of constructl >n work at the elemen tary building. '"W e do not expect to have the new part of the building finished for the opening of school, but we h pe to have the remodeling com pleted In the old section of the structure", Sujrerintendent Henry Hartley said. “ In any event, both schools will be opened at the same time". It will be necessary to transport some town children to Arcadia and Oregon Trail schools and In each of them will be three rooms of pupils of the first three grades. For the first few weeks, until the new wing on the elementary build ing Is finished, rooms will ‘be over crowded, “but we will do the best we can” , Mr. Hartley said. Because of state laws, school o f ficials feel that It is advisable not to postpone the opening of school until completion of the new wing. Registration of high school stu dents will be held during the week of September 1. The faculty for the Nyssa school system has been completed, except for high school teacher of English and Journalism. T h e vacancy was caused by the resignation of Spen cer Lane, who will work for his master’s degree at the University of Missouri.
