300 REGISTER FOR THE NIGHT CLASSES HERE

REGISTRATION ON FIRST NIGHT SETS RECORD-SESSIONS OPEN TUESDAY

EXPECT TWO TEACHING APPOINTMENTS WILL BE FILLED THIS WEEK

[Welland-Port Colborne Evening Tribune, 15 October 1931]

Some 300 students have registered for night classes to date. Principal Guy E. Johnson told The Tribune today, this being the heaviest first night registration ever recorded. It was begun on Tuesday evening, but will not be completed until next Tuesday evening, when night classes will begin in earnest, the principal stated.

Registration was heavier in some classes than in others, but not so heavy in those where it had been expected there would be a big list of applicants. There were, of instance, fewer students in the wood working, bookkeeping, English and shop mathematics classes and a larger registration than expected in the domestic science, dressmaking, welding and machine shop classes, Principal Johnson told The Tribune.

Applications are now being received for two new teachers to be appointed for the domestic science and dressmaking classes, and according to Principal Johnson it is likely the appointments will be confirmed by the end of the week.
