Baltimore Polytechnic Institute goes off double sessions this September because, "enrollment is such that everybody can accommodated." While double sessions in secondary schools still carry a full program of studies for each student, part-time scheduling in elementary schools means a loss of one hour each day per pupil. Miss Mary Adams, assistant superintendent, estimated a maximum 12,248 pupils in 368 classes of 31 elementary schools will be on a part-time basis.

This compares with 12,755 -children in 368 classes of 40 schools last year. Elementary schools which will bear the heaviest load of part-time pupils are P.S. 85 with 1,600 pupils; P.S. 74 with P.S. 145 with 988; P.S.

149 with 800, and P.S. 99 with 610 pupils. Because of new facilities opening at Schools 295 and 150 the following elementary schools will not have double sessions again this year: P.S. 100, 141 (1,032 pupils last year); 140 (two classes last year) and 110 (210 pupils last year). "For every classroom we lack, two classrooms will be on part-time basis," said Miss Adams.

All Schools Have Been Thoroughly Cleaned All 196 Baltimore city schools have been thoroughly cleaned by the custodial staff. The engineering and repair shop staffs have also been busy this summer painting, repairing snd getting schools ready for opening day. Commenting on the 1961-1962 program, Dr. George B. Brain, superintendent of public instruction, said: "We shall seek to improve our educational services.

"With an intense public interest in current educational problems, most of this interest seems to be centered in the ends of "Chicahgah."

According to Some Won't Have Double Sessions Poly, Hamilton Junior High, Clifton Park Junior High and Dunbar Junior-Senior High will not have double sessions this year. Four other schools, two junior and two senior highs, will enroll 1,914 students on double shift programs. This figure, however, is 1,011 less than last year's 2,925.

For the first time, City College will have 800 students on ex-tended day shifts. Eastern, which dropped double sessions with last year's February graduating class, will enroll 360 students on two sessions this semester. Woodbourne Junior High will have fi54 students on double sessions while Carroilton Junior High will have another 200. Hamilton goes off double sessions because of the opening of the fourth wing unit of ihe unique Herring Run Junior High School, which will have an enrollment of over 1,700. The school has a capacity of 2,400 students.

Additional classrooms have enabled Clifton Park Junior High lo eliminate its own double session program. a National Aeronautics and Space Administration monograph by Mr. Musen at hnnJ, the "Lunar Disturbing Force in the Motion of Distant Artificial Satellite" is .2 An Mn Ju Won) Mil ilWiMIraBH 2U 2tt I a FIRST-DAY BLUES This uncooperative first-grader decided he was not going to cooperate and went into a closet to sulk. seventh-graders will attend the hew Lombard school; others will go to the Fairmount Hill Junior High School.
