the responsibility for printing the questions to the teacher.
Sixth - Please submit the mid-year exam questions to the administration before Wednesday, 1/25/1961,

Each question sheet shall be titled according to the arrangement shown below according to the language used
in the questions, starting with the phrase (Frank Iny School) or the phrase (Shamash Secondary School) if the
exam is for students of the fourth or fifth secondary grade.
