Miss Stevning is now teaching art at Franklin Junior High. Mrs. MacDonald and Mr. Castner left for Vocational High School when their special classes were transferred to that building. The January. 1931, graduates lost their social adviser when Miss Hobbs became a faculty member at Cenral High School. There was but one vacancy in January. Miss Scverinson left to teach at the Wendell Phillips school. Although Edison was originally built to accommodate 1.800 students, the records on September 2 showed that there were 2.391 pupils attending sessions here. On February 2. there were still more students registered, the total enrollment being 2.500. or an increase of 181 students. The tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades number 1,077 pupils, with the Junior high school ranging somewhat higher. The freshman class, with 673 students, leads the several grades as to number.

White the students vacationed, read, camped, and studied, one hundred men worked steadily to complete the $80,000 job by September 2. What a welcome surprise the homeward wenders received when they entered the building, shiny with its new coat of paint! The ordeal of returning to school was a much less difficult task with the glorious resplendence of the freshly-coated walls brightening our days. With the opening of the new school year, there were added to the faculty several new teachers. They were: Mr. Ole Anderson, who teaches the newly-introduced subject, auto mechanics; Mr. T. V. Cunningham, instructor in mechanical drawing: Miss Mary McGregor, teacher of junior high art; Mrs. I.otta Hegnauer. instructor in domestic science; Miss Jean Toohey. senior high art teacher. Mrs. Lucille Simmons became a regular teacher in the commercial department, where she had formerly substituted for Miss York. February came, and with it the new semester and new teachers. Those who then became faculty members were: the Misses Florence Fisch and Sophie Albinson. English teachers: Mrs. Florence Keeler, instructor in domestic science; Mrs. Vera Lawson, seventh and eighth grade chorus teacher: and Mr. Ralph Wiley, assistant in boys' gymnasium work.
