Summary of Administration Though the pupils are the largest element in school life, Auburn High would be a very poor school were it not for the constant interest and faithful administration of the school board and faculty. For this the Administration deserves our enduring regard and respect. There were several changes in the faculty in the past year. Miss Valda Bichholtz took the place of Miss Naomi Christen as teacher of do- mestic science. When the students returned to school last fall they found that Mr. Donald Coar was filling the place of Mr. Sanders, former mathematics teacher, and was ready to drill into their heads various and sundry information about the unknown quantity. Miss Sue Mor- ton taught Sophomore English this year instead of Miss Middleton. Besides being director of the Junior-Senior play and coaching the Inter- scholastic contestants Miss Morton supervised the Chatterbox as its Edi- tor-general. The success of the girls ' basketball team this year has been due to Miss Burkhead, who filled Miss Jane Eagles ' place. Mrs. Wolfrom, who was our music instructor last year, was supplanted by Miss Margaret Hixon whose programs were always enjoyed. Aside from these changes, the personnel of the faculty has remained the same. Charge of the school library was given to Miss Dawson, and un- der her management it has been put in order, additions have been made, and great improvement made generally. Mr. Weathers, as sponsor of the History Club, devoted much time and work to its direction, thus insuring its success. Under Mr. Hornaday ' s training several of his pupils attained very high standing in vocational work. Miss Foulke and Mr. Gumpp have promoted the commercial work and produced some very good office workers. Miss Eichholtz, though this was her first year in Auburn High, accomplished much in home economics work. The last semester her class in cooking served hot lunches, consisting of one savory, digestible dish. This was very good and convenient for the students who came from the country. Similiar work was done by Miss Smith ' s class during the first semester. A new addition to the wood-shop was built, giving Mr. Cosper more room for his work in Manual Training. The school board and the faculty, including the superintendent, the principal, clerk, and the eighteen instructors, have been most effi- cient and have aided the students in their quest for education. They made this a banner year for Auburn High School. [22]
