efzafzlm luemdyzfi Twenty-nine Teachers of Initial Fort Hill Staff, 1936-1937, Continue in Service In the following pages dealing with teacher personnel it will be interesting to note how the ebb and flow of instructors acts as an indicator of economic and international conditions. A study of the table below will reveal that as the enrollment at Fort Hill steadily grew, new teachers were added to the staff. The number of pupil withdrawals and teacher changes also offers a revealing comparison in that it shows how sensitive our schools are to the currents of history. Fort Hill is now staffed by a faculty of sixty- five members. Fifty-one instructors came to the new building in September 1936. This initial faculty comprised thirty-one teachers of the old Penn Avenue staff, seven transfers from Al- legany and thirteen from other sources.

B. Boughton. Truly the patriarch of the flock, he has led children, teachers, and communities in every movement for their welfare. Mr. Boughton be- gan his teaching career as principal of a two- room school in Eckhart, Maryland in 1895, and since that time he has principaled nine schools in Allegany County. In the interim between 1908 and 1912 he served as assistant county superintendent. During World War I he ofliciated as principal of the combined Penn and Virginia Avenue schools in the morning and taught chemistry at Allegany in the afternoon-an interesting reflection of 1942.
