School Week Draws
Many Visitors To
Bartlett Schools
Texas Public Schools Week
was' an outstanding success in
the Bartlett schools where 393
students are enrolled and there
were 399 adult visitors during
tne week it was more visitors
than the school had had in all of
the five Public Schools Week3
previously observed.
In the grammar school build-
ing where there are six grades
with 216 students there were
232 visitors who remained for
at least one full class period. In
the high school building where
there are also six grades with
177 students there were 167
visitors 132 of whom remained
for a class period.
The fourth grade which scor-
ed 107 per cent with its vis-
itors was high for the grammar
school and will receive a half-
day holiday for a class picnic.
In the high school the sopho-
more class was high with a rec-
ord of 97 per cent and will re-
ceive a half-day holiday for a
class swimming party. The rec-
ord of the entire school was so
good that the class with the
fewest visitors scored 86 per
cent. A score of 200 per cent
was possible if each student had
both parents living and both
visited the school and remained
for a class period during the
week.
fc
Many visitors were present for
the Public Schools Week chapel
program Friday morning at the
high school auditorium
The .program opened with a
band number and the welcome
by Supt. Swope. He paid tribute
to the class of 1934 which was
honored on this occasion and
(reviewed some of the history of
say outlined the work of the
teachers in the school and the
courses now being offered. A
study of work in other schools
he said reveals the fact that
work in Bartlett compares fa-
vorably with the work done in
high schools having an average
of 250 students. Bartlett has
not quie half that many.
Stanley Schwertner English
teacher and sponsor of the
school paper read sketches of
members of the class of 1934 as
they appeared in the paper and
spoke of the work and success
of the paper which started the
move to honor a class each year
during schools week.
Gayle Guyton high school
senior gave the declamation
which she will give at the coun-
ty meet this year.
Other numbers were played
by the school band and the
Blue Notes Quaret made a hit
with their singing.
The Bartlett Luncheon Qlub
held its meeting at the school at
noon and was served in the high
school lunchroom.
