Space, But Crowded School Seen Despite eight new classrooms at Clover Hills School in West Des Moines the school will be "awfully crowded" next fall. Rex Mathes, school principal, said Sunday he expects a record number of kindergartners. 700 Expected. In addition there will be two classes of sixth graders totaling 65. Mathes estimated the enrollment at Clover Hills and its Fair Meadows branch will jump from 535 this spring to 700 students next fall.

At a meeting of preschool mothers last Thursday, 120 new kindergartners were registered. Mathes said that last year, 65 new students were registered at the spring meeting. By fall, the actual enrollment reached 130. "We're hoping the percentage doesn't carry over this year," Mathes said. The 65 sixth graders will come to Clover Hills from the junior high school in West Des Moines, which no longer has room for them.

Clover Hills has not held sixth grade classes during recent years. One Room Short. The enrollment increase at Clover Hills during each of the last 5 years has been about 100, Mathes said. "We will be about one room short this fall," he said. "We'll have larger classes than we would like to have," he added.

"Even with the eight new rooms we'll still 1 be awfully crowded. We don't see any relief in sight because they are building so many new homes Three of the eight new classrooms at Clover Hills are now in use and have permitted one class to move from a partitioned hallway into a regular room. All eight rooms will be ready for fall. "We will continue to use the two classrooms formed by partitioning the, recreation room," Mathes said. "We hope we don't have to move back into the hall." 2 Duplexes.

The Fair Meadows branch of the school consists of two duplexes which the school board leases from a building contractor. It houses four classes, from kindergarten through third grade. Clover Hills now has two kindergarten rooms, three first grade classes, three second, three third, two fourth and two fifth grade classes. Amos C.
