Faculty History - lTHOUGH the fall enrollment was much greater than was anticipated, the autumn semester began auspiciously and conditions were quickly adjusted to take care of the increase. A new teacher was added to the music depart¬ ment and another to the commercial, and at the beginning of the second term, two more were added as replacements. Mr. Rider took the English classes formerly taught by Mr. Good, who became principal of the Edison school, while Mr. Gwinnell was engaged to teach physics and social science. Mr. Grophear, chairman of the science department, succeeded to Mr. Good’s former position as assistant principal. Mrs. Ives was the new teacher of hygiene. The faculty group as a whole spent some time in the study of the extra¬ curricular problem at the monthly meetings. No small percentage of the teachers was, in addition, engaged in taking extension courses in Dearborn, Detroit. Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor. Many of them had also attended summer schools. Several important problems of the school were undertaken by the Hi-Y. a boys’ group, and the Girl Reserves, a new organization, who were success¬ ful in working out satisfactory solutions. There has been a marked improve¬ ment in scholarship and discipline during the year. An important development this year was the increase in night school courses, which heretofore had been confined to art alone. Classes in English and manual arts drew sufficient numbers to evidence a real demand for these types of work in the community. The various school groups were successful in maintaining the usual standard of excellence in competitive events, often in the face of increased competition and higher standards of judging. Some of these groups, no¬ tably in music, served the community throughout the year, strengthening the bond of service which already united the school with the city. In spite of an unusual amount of illness, and the business depression, the school has had, as a whole, a remarkably successful year, which passes into history as a definite achievement in the city’s educational annals.
