Rau'-Mrs, Patterson, Mrs. Cebatis, Miss Hill, Miss Hyman English Department To help solve some of the administrative problems a system of class counselors was devised. Miss Alice McKinley became counselor for the sponsors, since for many years she was Calumet's dean of girls, as well as sponsor of the Senior Girls Council. She has always taken a special interest in the problems and the social affairs of the seniors. Indeed it would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to carry on many of the senior activities without her invaluable aid. Mr. Earl Dougherty, formerly our dean of boys, and for a time our assistant principal, became the counselor for the juniors. His skill in dealing with all sorts of problems has made the entire school run more smoothly. When, at the beginning of the second semester, he took sabbatical leave, Mr. Elwood Smith was chosen to act as counselor for the juniors during Mr. Dougherty's absence. Mrs. Bernice Greger, who has a principal's certificate and has been of great help to the office ever since the new Calumet was built, was selected as counselor for the sophomores. Mrs. Harriett Hagen, who for a number of years performed the difficult task of acting as attendance teacher, became counselor for the freshmen, a position for which she is well fitted because of her ability and her sympathy.

MR. EGBERT ASSISTANT G. HUNTER PRINCIPAL Three different principals and three dilferent assistant principals within three years! Such has been Calumet's story. Shortly before school opened in September it was learned that Mr. Tower, who, after Miss Melody's death in the summer of 1933, had for the second time become Calumet's principal, was to return to Englewood, Where he had formerly been first a teacher and later assistant principal. Mr. Tower had worked whole-heartedly and enthusiastically for Calumet and had won the affection of Calumetitesg but his return to Englewood must have been for him a sort of home- coming,', for he had worked there so many years and had so many friends among Englewood's faculty that he naturally felt quite at home there. We know that he is happy at Englewood and we therefore rejoice with him. To fill the position of principal at Calumet came Mr. Robert G. Jeffrey. Many of the students were particularly glad to have him as their new principal because they had known him as principal of Westcott Junior High School, which used to occupy the building that for many years had been Calumet High School and is now Calumet's branch. The faculty were happy, also, to receive from all quarters reports of Mr. Jeffrey's fine record in other schools. In the year that he has been at Calumet he has lived up to the excellent reputation that he has established. A few days after the opening of school in September Mr. Egbert Hunter came from Englewood to fill the position of assistant principal. Mr. Hunter had been well trained for this position through his experience as head of the Graham Branch of Englewood. He had also had valuable experience as dean of boys in the main building at Englewood. It was only a short time before both Mr. jelfrey and Mr. Hunter were well acquainted at Calumetg in fact they already occupy an important place in Calumet,s compara- tively long history.

Science Department Shortly after the opening of school in September one of our Spanish teachers, Mrs. Spencer, formerly Miss Jackman, and two of our English teachers, Miss Ruth Weeks and Miss Mary Sheridan, transferred to Harper because the enrollment at Calumet had dropped on account of the redistricting in the preceding year. About the middle of the fall semester a new music teacher came to Calumet-Miss Ruth Cazier. She soon became well acquainted at Calumet, for she is a friendly person and one whom we are glad to welcome to our faculty. Most of the changes in the faculty during the last school year have been caused by sabbatical leave. Five of Calumet's faculty were enjoying sabbatical leave during the fall semester. Miss Anne Heagney, Miss Mary Hogan, and Miss Irene Powers had started their leave during the spring semester of 1934 and did not return until the spring semester of 1935. Miss Heag-ney spent part of her year studying at Columbia University and the rest traveling in the countries around the Mediterranean. Miss Hogan toured the southern part of the United States from Oklahoma to the Virginias. Commercial Department Burk Rou'-Mr. Kinnick, Mr. Smith, Mr. Knehans, Mr. Churchill, Mr. O'Brien. lfrun!
