Miss Wood, an alumna of Dan- ville High School and a graduate of the class of '35 of Centre, has taken the position left vacant by the resignation of Miss Catherine Barnes of Somerset. Miss Wood is a part-time assistant of Miss Mathis, head of the music depart- ment. While in Centre, she studied under Miss Courtner, Mrs. Jay Harlan, and Mrs. Hughes Jackson. She will assist in vocal work. IMPROVEMENTS IN NEW SCHOOL YEAR When the students returned to school this fall, many improve- ments were noticed. The class- rooms of Mr. Grifiin, Miss Drake and Miss Hagan are now equipped with new desks. These desks are so arranged that the aisles are east and west, instead of north and south as the old ones were. This arrangement lessens fire haz- ard. They certainly are an im- provement over the old rickety, rattling, ones that were used by students of times gone by. The library has received an ap- propriation of 3450.00 from the school board, to use in the purchase of books. The total number of books is now 2,500.

H. B. Kuhnle Delivers Open- ing Address Sept. 3rd. On Tuesday, September 3rd, 552 students assembled in the Dan- ville High School auditorium to begin a ncw school year. Superin- tendent L. C. Bosley opened thc program with a short talk, and then introduced Reverend H. B. Kuhnle, pastor of the First Bap- tist Church, who gave a brief in- spirational address. Principal T. A. Sanford was introduced, amid the appreciative cheers of the student body. Mr. Sanford assigned the students to their various home- rooms, where schedules were ar- ranged. At the present time, the enroll- ment has increased to 579, and it 's possible that the number of stu- dents will reach the 600 mark be- fcre the year is over. Last year the largest enrollment at any one time during the year was 568. There are 75 in the present senior class, while last year there were 77, the largest graduating class in th history of the school. At the same time, it is interesting to note that the seventh grade has the largest, and the senior class the smallest number of pupils now enrolled. MANUAL TRAINING DEPT.
