Show Eil j.: Serving the Mining Area of East Carbon. Yclsn 5 Per Copy 5c Dragerton, Carbon County. Utah. Wednesday. February 6. 1952 Day Sessions Provo Successful Dragerton Cleaners The half day session for First grade pupils at the Dragerton schooLwas put into effect to make the best out of a bad situation. The bad situation was mainly the lack of rooms. In previous years, one room from the junior high had been used by the elementary school. That room was needed very badly by the j unior high. It was therefore necessary for the three first grade teachers to have forty pupils each. It was planned at first that half day sessions would continue for six weeks or two months or until the young pupils got used to their new surroundings and could begin reading and doing things by themselves. At the end of this time, the three first grade teachers, and the administration felt they could do more o nthis basis, the rest of the school year than to try having all forty pupils in the room at the present time. They reasoned they could do more for twenty students in three hours than for forty pupils in four and one-ha- lf hours. : The Carbon scnool district is not in favor of half day sessions and will discontinue the practice as soon as more rooms are available. For three weeks the Dragerton Cleaners have shown their bowling- ability - by taking - four -- points from the Kaiserettes, four from Nicks club, and this Wednesday three from Miners Trading Post.
