JUNCTION SCHOOL TO
OPEN SEI*TEMBER 10TH
Junction, Kimble County, Texas, Friday, August 10, 1921
Number 16.
M. T. DOME
By J. M. But
The Junction public school
will open the 19211-24 term on
September 10th, and the School
Board states that there is no
foundation for the rumors that
are making the rounds to the
effect that there will be only six
or eight months’ term. Mr.
Reid of the Board, states that
the teachers have been employ-
ed and contracts made for nine
months’ term.
It will be necessary to use the
old building for a part of the
years, but the construction of
the new building will be com-
pleted as rapidly as possible.
A strong faculty has been
elected and the outlook for the
local school is doubtless the
brightest in its history. Both
teachers and pupils will begin
the year, knowing that it will
be only a matter of a short time
until their needs will be ade-
quately provided for in the way
of a good building and all nec-
essary equipment.
The following are members
of the faculty: High School, W.
Z. Miller, Superintendent; A. J.
Bierschwale, Principal; A. R.
McHenry and Mrs. McHenry;
Seventh Grade, Miss Nan Sway-
?e; Sixth Grade, Miss Emma
Mae Hodges; Fifth Grade, Miss
Cora Fisher; Fourth Grade,
Miss Elsie Mathis; Third Grade,
Miss Willie Holdsworth ; Second
(Trade, Miss Modelle Jobes, and |
Primary Department, Miss Aus-j

Superintendent Miller and
family arrived last week.
