Our senior school, opened in 1905, now has thirty-three rooms, a staff of forty- seven faculty members, and a principal and vice principal to head the group. There is also a director of guidance to give the pupils individual attention. Statistics on this group of faculty members can be found on page twenty-five. These statistics include faculty names, colleges and universities attended, degrees, subjects taught, and extra-cur- ricular activities sponsored. There are 908 pupils enrolled in the Col- lingswood Senior High School this year. Depicted at the left is Mr. A.
