16 NORMAL OFFERING Ellanzultg Nairn. S we look back through the seventy-seventh year of our school's progress, we notice changes in the faculty that mean a great deal to us. We have both lost and gained. Every one knows that too frequent change in a faculty is bad, in that it is liable to weaken the unity and decrease the efliciency of that body, but it is good to have some changes, for that means new thoughts and ideas, different views to be blended with the old ones, giving us broader and more advanced views. ' Among the missing faces which many graduating classes have loved in the past are those of Miss Clara C. Prince, who has retired, Miss Florence I. Davis, who has been granted a year's leave of absence, to regain her health, Miss Broughton, who is studying in Teachers' Col- lege, Columbia University, and, Miss Dorothea Davis, who has left us to accept a position as supervisor of drawing in Haverhill. It is, also, with deep regret that we understand this is to be Mr. Kirmayer's last year as our teacher. For forty-seven years he has been an object les- son in affectionate loyalty to the school and in faithful and inspiring service. Those to whom we extend a hearty welcome are Miss Harriet Farn- ham, who has taken Miss Prince's place, Miss Breta Childs, who has taken Miss Florence Davis's, Miss Pinnick, who has taken Miss Brough- ton's, and, Mr. Corley, who teaches wood-work. May we help our future pupils as our faculty have helped us. R. S. B., '18.
