25 Years Ago North Carroll Housing 389 Pupils Over Limit—At the North Carroll P.T.A. meeting, the parents visited their children's classes where the teachers discussed their aims and purposes. The parents asked questions and had time for consultation with each teacher. The president, Russell Rill and secretary, Mrs. Hurd conducted the business meeting of the P.T.A. 1235 pupils are attending a school built for 846. The portables have not arrived. It might help if interested people would write to Gov. Mandel urging that the portable be sent without delay. There are 120 students from North Carroll attending Vo-Tec. If there is an increased enrollment next year, it is definitely a possibility that North Carroll will go on Split sessions. The first Wednesday of each month has been set up as visitation day in North Carroll. Parents are invited to attend their child's class and observe. If necessary or desired a conference with teacher will be arranged. The new rules on smoking for those 15 years or over were given. The Carroll Record, September 28, 1972.
