Faculty Notes Anniversary This June Mr. Bergerson will have completed his tenth year as Superin- tendent of the Albion Schools. During the period of his supervision, he has, with the cooperation of the very fine public spirited people of the village, rea- lized the fulfillment of many of his desires. In spite of the Depression with all its attendant evils, Albion has not lagged behind in its educational program. Most satisfactory courses in Commercial subjects, Manual Arts, and Home- making have been introduced offering the opportunity to many students to graduate who are not particularly interested in securing College Entrance Diplomas. Then, finally, we have this beautiful new school as a concrete indi- cation of Mr. Bergerson's and the Citizens' interest in the vital training of Youth. Both the people and the Superintendent are to be commended for their achievement in the face of such persistent adversity. iQ gait? 5 ' 1f Page Nine

1935 CHEVRON E Board of Education During the past year the Board of Education has been very active in their meetings. They have paid several important bills and have added a great deal of new equipment for the athletic and industrial departments of the school. They have appointed two new teachers: Miss Fisher, who has been teaching home economics and Mr. Cook, who has been teaching shop and electricity. Due to the regrettable resignation of Mr. Fetzer, the Board has advanced Mr. D'Amico to the vice-principality and two new teachers are to be added. Mr. Monacelli, who will teach science, and another, who will teach business. Because of these new additions, a complete course in business ad- ministration will be available. Besides all these things, the Board has beautified the exterior of the school. Several new shrubs and small trees have been planted in conspicuous places along the edge ofthe school and on the lawn. Also, a new lawn mower has been purchased, enabling the janitors to keep our beautiful school lawn smooth and always cut. Soon a new Hag pole is to be erected and perhaps we may have a field piece. All these things will add to the external beauty of our school, and surely, there is no student who has enough thanks to extend to our efficient Board of Education for its excellent work during the past year. Burt McNall Minutes The minutes of my life slip by, Like hands of clocks that swiftly Hy In moments measured like a rhyme, To mark the vast expanse of time. I sit and watch the hands go round, And know that every ticking sound Beats out the notes of joy and strife That make the moments of my life. --Adeline Mesi 'aid' r S' ff , 1 , A , , X ,..s.s.,,,,,..,,.., N...-.f Page Eight

K ' g, l -V' ls' ,Alt lxlffl Fee ' - tilts L., Changes Next September, when school opens, Mr, Fetzer will not be in our midst as he has accepted a new position in the Geneseo High School. After twelve years of most successful teaching and principalling in the Albion High, Mr. Fetzer has come to be regarded as a factor for good in our community. His was no conventional thinking, his was no perfunctory regard for the boys and girls who came under his care. Rather he took the most sincere interest in their problems, whether they were problems of curriculum, extracurri- cular activities or those countless intangible problems which beset boys and girls on their way through school. Probably unaware of its value at the time, many an alumnus has returned to report, I am glad I had History B with Mr. Fetzer. lt's just as good as History 45 in College. In his contacts with the teachers, also, Mr. Fetzer has always been the considerate friend, the philosophical scholar and the perfect gentleman. No matter what's amiss, the teachers have always been accorded his warmest sympathy. Both teachers and students feel in his resignation that they are losing one of their best friends but they extend to him their best wishes for success in his new position. Albion, however, is fortunate in having such a fine man as Mr. D'Amico to succeed Mr. Fetzer. As a resident of Albion, as a Star Student in our school, as a very successful teacher of science for a number of years, Mr. D'Amico needs no testimonial of his ability to fill his new position success- fully. He is so alert, so intensely interested in his work that we are sure that under his guidance the school will move evenly and successfully. Best wishes to the new Vice-Principal for all the success he deserves. ar x :sf :sf Mr. Wfilliam Monacelli of Albion has been hired to teach science next year. Page Ten
