Year's Event
On Monday evening. February 5th, the Nazareth Choral Society will resume rehearsals after a brief re¬ cess. Under the capable leadership of EllLs C. Schneebeli. the chorus will center their attention on pre¬ paration for their spring concert to be given sometime In April.
Each year the chorus gives two concerts, which have become hi- creaalngly popular, Judghig from the enthusiasm, Interest and at¬ tendance at these functions. The first concert was given December 8 in the Reformed Church, when a group of outstanding classics were rendered, assisted by Dr. Haff and his famous string ensemble.
Meanwhile the chorus participated In the annual Merchants Asso. Christmas celebration.
In anticipation of the coming con- cert   and   the   Bl-Centennlal,   the
management and a very neignfeofly atmosphere prevailed as Nasareth business and professional men met In one single body to further eleie duties.
The first speaker of the evenlag, introduced by toastmaster Kem, was A. Russell Bnyder, member of the School Board, who presented inter* esting figures In comparing three school periods. Ke stated that In 1923 the total enrollment amounted to 883 puplU, in 1031, 1128 pupUs and In 1939, 1483 pupils. That in 1923 there were but 176 high Mhool pupils, in 1931, 488 and durUif ISM, 928; an Increase of over 400 per cfent. Continuing he said that tn 1923 the graduating class consisted of but 15 students, In 1931. 54 students and in 1939, last term, there were 99 grad¬ uates. The 1940 class, he said, will have about 150. Full time pro¬ fessional employees during these thre? periods were: 28 for 1923; 40 for 1931 and 51 for 1939.
Most Important to taxpayers, Mr. Snyder continued, is cost per pupil He compared pupil cost with 62 third cla.ss districts which revealed an average of »77.34 per pupil throughout the state, with flgures ranging from 1170.84 to $33.19 per pupil. Thu' local cost being the average of 177 34. In view of present high school standard and facilitie- ofTered. the local tax rate ha.? been reduced. In 1923 the rate was 24 mills, in 1931. 23 mills and in 1939. 19 mills. In conclusion. Mr. Snyder stated that it has been the policy of the Board to meet its expenditures on a "pay-as-you-go" basis, except of course when perm.inent Improve¬ ments are made, such as buildings and the like. This cost Is spread over a number of years in the form of bonded indebtedness. Despite the uncertainty In the tiond market created by the European War, he said, we were able to sell the bonds with a 2"-- coupon and In addition (Continued oo Fafe Four)
