TUNGSTGN HEN we reTurned To school aT The beginning oT This year, The TirsT sighT ThaT greeTed our eyes was The reTurnished basemenT. To assure againsT TurTher loss Trom Tlood, The basemenT was reTurnished in meTal. The chairs and desks are brown rneTal and The walls are painTed a lighT yellow. This makes a very aTTracTive combinaTion. Four new Teachers have been added To The sTaTT. These include: Mrs. Shepherd, Commercial AriThmeTic: lvliss Julia DavenporT, ShorThandg Mr. Vail, English, and lvlr. lveson, Science.

This gives each sTudenT The opporTuniTy oT Taking Tive or six subiecTs a year. For each maior subiecT The sTudenT receives one crediT.
