| Public School has Opened for Term 1919-20 Largest Enrollment in History of School is Looked for in High School and Grammar Grades St. Augustine Record October 6, 1919 With what promises to be the largest enrollment in its history, St. Augustine High and Graded School opened this morning with more or less formal exercises held in the School auditorium under the direction of Prof. W. E. Knibloe. There were so many students that a large number of the parents and friends were unable to gain admission into the auditorium being forced to remain in the corridors adjoining. The increased attendance is largely due to the new school attendance law which has just come into force. A complete census of St. Augustine had been made by the school attendance officer. H. M. Stephens, and the good results of his work are now in evidence in the increased attendance at all schools of the city. Mr. Stephens has so far been able only to complete his census of St. Augustine and some of the small country precincts but will within the next few weeks cover the entire county. The High School orchestra has started upon its work for the new year under the direction of Co. O. Oldfather. There are a number of new recruits for that musical organization this year, and Director Oldfather says that some very good talent is represented among the boys. He is looking forward to a successful year for the orchestra in its work for the school. Brief talks were made at the opening exercises by Superintendent D. D. Corbett, who covered the field thoroughly, by Rev. D. H. Ruiter, pastor of Grace Methodist Church and Harry L. Brown representing the Board of Public Instruction of St. Johns County. The balance of the morning was given over to the reorganization of classes and the making of plans for the carrying out of daily programs in the High and Graded School departments.
