School Enrollment Above Last Year; Five New Teachers Added to Faculty The present enrollment of the Celeste Public School is 285, according to Superintendent G. W. Tillerson. Last year the enrollment was 255. An additional teacher, Mrs. Ruby Thomas Wilburn of Commerce, has the second grade, made possible because of the increase in students. Previously for several years, the second grade was taught by the first and third grade teachers, each having the grade one-half day. The present first grade class numbers thirty-one, a decided increase of the past years. Under Title I, according to Superintendent Tillerson, the federal funds were trimmed from $25,540.00, the amount last year, to $21,712.00 this year. Teacher aides, college students, Ruth Thorp, Catherine Floyd, Georgia Steed, Pat Roach, and David Smith, are working in that capacity this session. This is two short of last year. Remedial teachers are Mrs. Joyce Ann Grubbs and Mrs. Frances Lamm. Mrs. Grubbs of Wolfe City replaced Mrs. Marie Denney, who resigned recently. There is a vacancy to be filled for a physical education teacher. Under the Title I program, the school will begin the construction of a $3,500.00 building on the campus for remedial work. At present, space is a premium for the best use of remedial classes and for the use and storage of valuable equipment purchased for the program. Under the Youth Corp program that operated last year with a total of thirty-seven workers, the allotment to date is only three. It is possible that authorization for more will come later and applicants will be given work. New teachers in the school, other than Mrs. Ruby Wilburn, second grade, are Mrs. Carolyn Musgrave, eighth grade home room, homemaking teacher and pep squad sponsor; Mrs. Carrie Howell, ninth grade home room, high school science and mathematics; Charles Stone, seventh grade, elementary principal, elementary social studies and science; and Harry Brewer, high school principal, head coach and teacher of high school social studies. Miss Mary Eastwood in music and Miss Allegra Byers in speech have private pupils in their departments and have studios for classes. These departments are active in the programs of the school.
