Mrs. Gibson joins faculty at Academy At the regular meeting of the Board of Directors of The New- barry Academy Monday night Mrs. Billy R. Gibson, the for mer Miss Sylvia Boozer, was elected to teach Literature and Science in the upper grades. She has her B. S. degree from Lander College and brings to the Academy an excellent teach ing record in the public school systems of Saluda and Ander son. The family are members of Smyrna Presbyterian Church. This appointment completes the faculty roster for the new sess ion. Since applications now being received indicate that many of the classes will reach the set limit the Board decided that it would be necessary in order to insure every student accepted a definite reservation that a reg istration fee must be required of every application coming in from now on. This will amount to at least one month’s tuition and will be credited to the pay ment of tuition for the session. It is really an advance deposit on tuition for the Academy must know the number of stu dents who will actually be in at tendance. This is requisite since the administration may know what specific arrangements must be made well ahead of the school opening. Since the enrolment in the first eight grades will be so large the ninth grade will not be offered this coming year but will definitely be added the following session. Each year thereafter there will be an ad ditional grade so that the acad emy will have a complete twelve-year program. The directors made plans looking toward securing an ad equate tract of land for the construction of a modern build ing with adequate facilities for the twelve-year curriculum and recreational features. The grow ing kindergarten program will be located there also. It is ex pected that soon a campaign will be conducted to secure construction funds. The sucess attained by the of operation assures a brighter Academy in the first two years and steadily progressive future. HOSPITAL PATIENTS Miss Mabel E. Altman City Miss Stephenie J.
