'1 Summary of the School Year E03 In looking back over the school year just past, we see much that seems to us admirable. We feel that our school has lived up to the ideals of the past and has made forward and progressive strides at the same time. We note with pleasure and appreciation the acquisition of many new teachers, while we do not fail to deplore the loss of a number of old Cif they will forgive the adjectivej favorites. We mourn our devoted Miss Agnew, popular Miss Grantham, and faith- ful Miss Woods, all these having left the thorny path of a pedagog for the no less thorny, perhaps, but much more rosy path of matrimony. We still miss Miss Houston, Miss Culver, Miss Allen, and Miss Roberts, and, not the least, our, beloved and capable co-sponsor, Miss Suttle. But, as throughout life, most losses have their compensations, There are other pleasant faces in their places. Petite Miss Hale has already won our hearts: Miss Mangum has established herself as a sponsor for various enterprises: Miss Decherd and Miss Shaw, Miss Lewis, and Miss Rushing, both of whom came at mid-term, have all gained our confidence and affection. And Miss Holman, who won us all in Junior High, is now among us again Meanwhile, as teachers have come and gone, under the diligent eye of Mr. Fillers and the guiding hand of Mr. Norwood, our school has gone steadily forward. We have increased in number some fifteen percent, a steady if not spectacular growth. Instead of the six hundred students who last year trod our halls, the walls have echoed to the tread of more than seven hundred. For the first time in several years we have sent out mid-term graduates, more than a score of young men and women, in caps and gowns, leaving these halls for wider knowledge or higher learning. Our scholarship has been uniformly high, some seventy names being en- rolled in our scholarship club each six weeks. We are proud of the fact that most of the students who take the leadership in school affairs are included in this group. Twenty-three
