In order to keep all students in the building `it has been decided to re- dluce the number of [Middle School classes. Last year there were two senior Middle `School classes. 4A and 43, pupils who have attained partial matriculation. 4A has been discontinued, some pupils trans- ferred to 4B, while others will be obliged to take up subjects not completed in Junior Middle School classes. `D......L:..:..`l'l-. ----..-- -1--- ___:1I _ J.HC `LJUCLU U.J.
