Warwick Union school pu­pils
returned to school Wed­nesday
morning, and there
were more of them than esti­mated
about a week ago.
Supervising Principal G.
Mariin^Spiid "saa^ne-couldft’t
give definite enrollment fig­ures
as they were still regis­tering
pupils late yesterday,
but said figures would be
available at the end of the
week.
This means the figure will
increase over the 3,230 esti­mated
last week, of which
1,244 were high school and
1,986 elementary.
There was some difficulty
in the elementary classrooms
at the Lutheran Church be­cause
desks which were sup­posed
to arrive last week
haven’t come yet. Thus, 1 pu­pils
had to double up a bit,
making it look overcrowded,
but it is not really so. There
are 432 children registered
for these classes. Tentative
enrollments at Lititz elemen­tary
are 972; at Rothsville,
239, and at John Beck, 343.
Supervising Principal Spaid
is doubling as an elementary
principal, because two of the
new principals haven’t arrived
yet. He said they have not
yet been released by their
previous districts. The two
are Robert Heron, new princi­pal
at Lititz elementary, and
Jerry Shupp, principal at
Rotihsville and the Church.
However, George Remetz was
on deck at the Beck school
as new principal, having
taught in this district before.
There ,was an orientation
program for new teachers last
Thursday, and all teachers met
Tuesday.
