1 e2 A,4,., ,.,.A.,.. , ,q 1.: , .,.:.,., ' ffyq 2 is?-M course in Spanish was begun, and in l9l6 the departments of Domestic Science and Domestic Art were established. Under the present instructor, Miss Weiss, the Art Department has talcen on new life. lnstruction in Spoken English, or Expression, was begun in I920 under Miss Huff and Miss Weiss. The graduating class of l9l6 had only flour members. Jessie Jenkins won first honor, and Louise Hodges fMrs. N. F. Jones of South Carolinaj, second. The l9l7 graduates were eight in number, with Miriam Mcclammy and Mary Cobb as first and second honor students. Mary Cobb had the distinction of being the first girl admitted to the Freshman Class of the University of North Carolinaq She has continued the course, and is now a member of the Senior Class. Nineteen hundred eighteen had one more graduate than the previous year, the first and second honor members were Jean Robertson and Ella Tew Lindsay, the latter having taken the whole High School Course at Fassifern. ln l9I9 there were twenty-six who received diplomas. This year presented the problem of two seniors who had exactly the same average, so there were two valeclictorians-Virginia Ryder and Alma Seagle. One delivered her farewell message in English and the other in Latin. jane Guignard had second honor. Nineteen students graduated in l920, with Deane Van Landingham and Annie Chadbourn-e leading. There are about forty members of the Class of I92I. W as as vs When Fassifern School was moved to Hendersonville there were two buildings containing all the rooms necessary for sixty resident students. ln l920 a new dormitory, McBee Hall, was erected. This building has been used for seniors, and twenty-five have been housed there during the present school year. A house has been rented as a home for teachers, thus allowing more space for students, who at this time number one hundred and seven, just one hundred more than the group who appeared on October 7, I907. V For lack of' room Fassifern was obliged to decline, during the past year, almost as many as it accepted. The faculty now consists of sixteen teachers. All instructors in the Academic Department have college degrees. The following universities and colleges are represented by their alumni: France, Toledo, Cambridge, Columbia, Tulane, South Carolina, Smith, Goucher, Newcomb. Mrs. Drysdale, teacher of the intermediate department, is a graduate of the Philadelphia Normal School: Miss Thrall, Domestic Science, of the Framingham, Mass., Normal, Miss Huff, Expression, Emerson College of Oratory. Miss Dowd, a great addition to the life of Fassifern has been Director of Music at St. Mary's, Raleigh, and for many years a beloved teacher there. Her assistant, Miss Butman, is a graduate of the New England Conservatory. ' So in every department Fassifern has sought the best instructors. Her daughters have been accepted on certificate by Smith, Coucher, Lal-te Erie, Universities of North Carolina and Florida, and by most of the Southern colleges. Many are still in college, many are married, several are business women or teachers. It is hoped that all are useful as well as happly women. -is as Ss Fassifern toolc an active part in the worlc for the soldiers during the World War, and has lcept its I00 per cent membership in the Red Cross. ln l9l8-l9 the contributions through the Red Cross were cash SIQI, garments Il0.
