new school year.
Em o11rnent in the Shelton School
district was expected to be up
over last year, particularly in the
High School and Junior High.
Projected enr.01hnent, arrived at.
from pze-regist.r'~tions, was e.~
pected to be 825 in the High
School, about 30 more tl'/:m last
year and 675 in tile Junior High,
about 25 more than last year.
Enrollment expected at Bor-
deaux Elementary was 576, Ever-
green, 479, and Mt. View, 414. All
of these is about the &~me as last
year. Enrollment at Rogers School
was projected at 22.
TItE ELEMENTARY enroll-
menL's lack of increase in num-
bers was attributed in part to
the change in the entrance age
for kindergarten and first grade
from Nov. 1 to Sept. 1 this year,
.vhich reduced the size of the kin-
~]ergarten classes somewhat.
The kindergarten section from
Mr. View School is being held in
a room in the Angle building this
year because of the lack of space
at ML. View.

Some of the new teachers were
at Garrett Heyns High School at
the Washington Corrections Cen-
ter, which also opened Wednesday.
Two of the schools had new
principals.
Clyde Brown, formerly of Ton-
ask.st, is the new principal at Shel-
ton High School, succeeding
George Hermes, who moved to the
principalship at Garrett Heyus
High.
Don Brown, a counselor at the
Junior High School, is the new
principal of Mt. View Elementary
school, succeeding Joe Borek, who
was named Coordinator of Pur-
chasing and Maintenance for the
district.
STUDENT LEADERS--Ed Keenan (left) and Tom Vtllines as-
sumed the top posts in student affairs at Shelton senior high as
another school term opened yesterday. Keenan is student body
president and Villines is vice-president, in which role he also is
presiding officer over the student senate, composed of elective of-
fleers from each class. As student body president Keenan is sup-
porting ratification of a new constitution and an independent stu-
dent body treasury. He also advocates creation of Honorary
Boys and Honorary Girls service clubs in which members would
be appointed by" the faculty for their service to the school and
community. In addition the new president hopes to introduce a
boys pep club, to enlarge homecoming and to have more and bet-
ter student dances, as well as having the students elect the Pep
staff instead of being chosen by the faculty. Many of his ideas
he brought back from the 5-day Twinlow Leadership Conference
he attended at Twin Lakes, Idaho, this summer.
