the fall of 1929 there were only
about ninety high schools of the
7<t() or more schools in Texas that
held this distinction.
The Ozona School System has
five buildings and twenty teachers.
Sixteen of these teachers teach in
Ozona. All of the six high school
teachers and four of the grade
teachers hold Bachelor's Degrees
Several teachers are working on
higher degrees. Tbe enrollment for
1929 1930 was 536 abnut 22 per
.•til increa-e over th. previous
y ear.
The last State Sup. rvisor w ho
visited the school commended all
administration, the only criticism
offered was the crowded condition
that exists in the building.
An effort, is being made to se-
cure n free kindergarten, to be
taught under the supervision of t he
.J ont, beginning with the 1930-
1931 term.
