Board Of Trustees Makes School Report The annual report of the New berry City School Board of Trustees to members of Newber ry School District No. 1, was given at a meeting Tuesday morning in the courthouse. The report, read by P. K. Harmon, superintendent of city schools, review activities for the year July 1. 1946-June 30, 1947. Tribute was paid to Dr. O. B. Cannon, who before his death last year, had been superintend ent of city schools for 29 years. Five teachers were retired at the end of the school year under the Retirement Act now in force in South Carolina. These were Miss Elizabeth Dominick, Miss Annie Bynum, Mrs. E. B. Setz- ler, Mrs. Azilee Pelham and Mrs. Corrie H. Fridy, all of whom were commended for long and efficient service, and for having “given the best of their lives to the educational welfare of the children of this community”. The Board repotted on the in creased levy as follows: ‘The Board and Superintend ent realized the urgent need of repairs to our buildings and the increased cost of all supplies and building materials. Therefore, they were faced with the fact that a much greater income was needed. They felt that the people would respond favorably if they knew of the needs of the schools and the amount of the funds it would take for repairs. After much thought and consul tation with rtpresentative groups of patrons, it was decided to hold a special election to ask that the patrons vote an addi tional levy of 15 mills for gen eral school purposes, and to re tain the 8 mills which would automatically go off when the present bonded indebtedness was paid. It is very gratifying to know that the result was fav orable on both questions by a large majority. The Board wish es to assure you that rtpairs and improvements will be made as soon as practical, and by Sep tember, 1948, several new courses will be added to the cur riculum. Much time will be spent in studying and planning for those things most needed in making your schools the very best possible.” Beginning in September, a lunch room will be ready at Junior high school. It is antici pated by the board that a cafe teria will be ready for operation at Senior high school within the nexit two years. Repairs will shortly be made on the roof at Junior high and new toilet faci lities will be placed in Junior high and the grammar schools as soon as equipment is avail able. Changes made during the past year were reported: “. . . sever al things in the way of equip ment have been purchased for the schools. Stokers were in stalled at Speers Street, Bound ary Street and Junior high schools. Shop equipment was secured for sheet metal work and an annex was built to the shop for this work. A new bus was bought for the transporta tion of students and teachers in their activities. The money re- citived from sale of the old bus during the war was used in buying it. Lunch room equip ment was secured for Speers Street, Boundary, Mollohon, West End and Oakland. An elec tric refrigerator, stove, a large kitchen sink, dishes and stain less steel kitchen utensils were obtained for each school. For the first time a full time super visor was employed for the lunch rooms.” Thirty-five veterans have been enrolled in classes at the high school, taking such varied courses as machine shop, weld ing, sheet-metal work, commer cial art, arithmetic and English. Superintendent Harmon re ported they were making good progress in their studies. The financial report showed receipts for the session at $191,- 662.16. Expenditures for all pur poses amounted to $140,525.88, leaving a balance of $31,136.28.
