From the Sept. 10, 1937 edition of the Vineyard Gazette: Vineyard youth turned out for the opening day of school on Tuesday, 1,104 strong, the largest enrollment on record, and an increase over last year’s enrollment of between sixty and seventy-five, according to Arthur B. Lord, superintendent of schools. This is not the complete enrollment for the year, numerous pupils and high school students being absent on the first day from all of the down-Island schools and some of the others, so that between thirty and forty more are expected to report within a week’s time.
