Point Public School Faculty Elected:
The board has elected teachers for the next scholastic year, 1925-1926,
as follows:
Prof. F.P. SCOTT, Superintendent;
Mrs. KNIGHT of Emory, Principal;
Misses Bonnie SPARKS, Lillian LYNCH and Mrs. F.P. SCOTT, assistants
To their native and acquired ability as teachers the faculty has the
added advantage of familiarity with the conditions and the needs of our
school, and it is safe to predict a still better school than ever the coming
year.
