FACULTY HISTORY The work of this school year has concerned itself largely with two aspects of school grov th. The first of these is growth in numbers. During the year an enrollment of 869 has been reached, an increase of 322 students from the 547 enrolled in 1928. To meet this increase Miss Re'd who form- erly- taught Art and Mathematics, was forcer! to devote her entire time to Mathematics, while the Art work was taken over by Mrs. Block, and Miss Mitchell came to us in December to work m Mathematics and assist with the Study Halls- Due also to the increase in enrollment which has now begun to crowd our building, the school day was lengthened and classes are now run through the noon period for senior high school students. Class sizes have increased and teachers’ work has multiplied here, as elsewhere, during the year as our contribution to the cause of economy in this trving time of financial depression. The other and more complex aspect of growth has to do with the development of new problems caused indirectly by- the numerical growth, such as the widening of the range of aptitudes and interests among the stu- dents. the growth of a need for organized educational guidance, the tend- ency to divide socially into smaller groups, the necessity for the school to make its influence permeate the community by more apd finer contacts and the need for forces of coherence among the faculty members. In the solving of these problems much progress has been made during the year. The ever widening range of interests and aptitudes of our students is being met bv enrichment of subject matter within the individual subjects and bv the development of new subjects and courses. Among these is the introduction of a class in Contemporary History, using newspapers as text material, and a class in Journalism preparing students for the laboratory- class which publishes the Orange nad Black. A third class of this nature is the course in Discussion and Debate. This course uses text material which brings up problems of vital and current interest—social, ethical and economic—which problems mav then be discussed freely and fully. Educational Guidance has been developed to keep pace with our growth through the development of a centralized system headed bv Miss Betts. The extra-curriculum program of clubs, athletics, and homerooms has this year expanded to meet the increased social needs of the school. The faculty of Dearborn High School has been for a long time rela- tively- stable and a majority of our teachers have been in Dearborn for many years and have become an integral part of the community. Their influence is each vear becoming increasingly felt in the churches and in the social and service clubs of the city-. A fine spirit of friendliness has been developed between the community and the faculty. Probably the most characteristic feature of our school is that feeling of fine friendship that exists between student and teacher and parent. The faculty, through advanced study in college and university, each vear becomes increasingly- better able to cope with the problems of edu- cationaj practice and theory- and in the faculty- meetings has developed technics in teaching students to study more effectively. Much time has also been spent in developing technics for character education. One of the programatic tests of a school’s success is the progress of its graduates in college- Dearborn High boasts of former students in col- leges from Washington to Massachusetts, students who are upholding the traditions of their high school education.
