Olga Hortiw - Junior Clerk Placement Beatrice Ryan - Senior Clerk Edna Sullivan - Junior Clerk ' Never before in the history of Fordson High School have so many changes been made in the faculty, as during the past year. Moet of them were due di- rectly to the enlistment or conscription of various teachers into the armed forces. The first faculty member to leave for the service was Mr. Kirk Riddering, science teacher, who is now stationed in Wichita Falls, Texas, as a Civilian Instructor. This vacancy brought on a series of changes. Mr. Hans Fredeen came here from Salina Junior High School to replace Mr. Riddering. At the end of last semester, Mr. Fredeen left and his position was taken over by Mr. John Vissa. A short time later Mr. Vissa was drafted into the army and is now sta- tioned at Camp Grant, Illinois. At this time the position is being filled by Mr. Ivan McCarbery. Another faculty member now in the navy is Mr. John Romanow, English teacher At the time of this writing he is stationed at the Navy Service School in Dear- born with the rank of a Storekeeper, Third Class. Mr. Clark Schwaderer t0Ok over Mr. Romanow's classes and Mr. Michael Orlovich, who came here from Salina Junior High School, replaced Mr. Schwaderer in the social science department. During the month of April, three more teachers left to ioin the navy, Mr. Leo Gardner, industrial teacher, Mr. Clifford B. Shipley, and Mr. Samuel Kopp, commercial teachers. Mr. Thomas S. Heywood, commercial teacher, also enlisted the first week in May. Mr. Gardner is an instructor at the Navy Service School in the Detroit Naval Armory. Mr. Shipley and Mr. Heywood both hold the rank of a Lieutenant, Junior Grade, Mr. Shipley is stationed at the Navy Training School in South Boston, Massachusetts, and Mr. Heywood at New York. Mr. Kopp is an .Ensign at Fort Schuyler, New York. He was replaced by Mrs. Kopp, who came here from Lowrey Junior High School. However, not all the changes were due to teachers leaving for the services, many new members were added to the faculty. Among these was Miss Dorothy Lynch, a nurse, who was added to the school health service. Lt Samuel D. Knox, another new faculty member came here to teach science and to advise the train- ing of the newly-formed Fordsan Cadet Corps. In January, Mr. Glenn Purdham was granted a leave of absence because of illness and his position as print shop teacher is now being filled by Mr. Leonard A. Stolfo. Mr. Edward Mosher, Chair- man of the Music Department, also was not able to return for the opening of the school year in September because of illness. He was granted a leave of absence and Mr. Ray Kooi was transferred from Salina Junior High School to teach music and direct the boys' glee clubs. when Mrs. Reva Lipp, homemaking teacher, left for Richmond, Virginia, she was replace by Mrs. Donald Knight. Another new member of the teaching staff is Mrs. Emmalow Pine, who took Miss Helen Green's place in the homemaking depart- ment. Miss Green is now teaching commercial classes. At the end of last semester Mrs. Jessie Hess, clerk of the horticulture department, Miss Anna Marie Harrison, and Miss Edna Sullivan, clerks in the high school office resigned, and were replaced by Miss Mary Famboy, Miss Norma Schrqm and Miss Elizabeth Boodakian. We have tried to include all changes in the faculty up to the beginning of MUYJ h0W9V6r. many more will probably have taken place before june 19, and still others before school begins next semester.
