Weinland, who was at the head of the Science department for two years, resigned at the close of last year to accept a position n Otterbein University as assistant pro- fessor of chemistry. During his time of work here he made himself very popular with the students, and his going was the cause of regret on every hand. The new teachers this year are: I. F. Hawk. C. C. McCracken, and Miss Ethel C. Musser. Mr. Hawk's home is in Petrolla, Pa., although his educa- tion has all been acquired in Ohio. He is a graduate of the Akron High school, and took his degree in 1907 from Ohio University at Athens. He had taught one year in the Fostoria schools. Mr. McCracken came to us from Bellefontaine. where he graduated from the High school under Supt. Cas- sidy's regime as principal in that city. He later was granted a degree from Monmouth College, .Monmouth, III., and taught in the High school in that place before coming here. After school opened in the fall ’t was found necessary to procure an- other teacher, and Miss Ethel C. Mus- ser of Portsmouth, entered upon her duties about the first of October. She is a graduate of the Portsmouth High school and of Ohio Wesleyan Univer- sity in 190S. Mr. Hawk has charge of the Science department; Mr. McCracken of the Mathematics, while Miss Musser as- sists in Science and German. On Tuesday evening, October the thirteenth. Mr. Lawrence Thomas was mnrlrcd to Miss Maude A. Kern- merer of Lancaster. The coming of the bride and groom to their new home at r 07 X. Broad street, was the occasion of quite a jollification on the part of the loving pupils of the groom. The yard and streets about the house were filled with the crowd of jolly sorenaders. When the carriage con- taining the happy couple arrived they were escorted to the house with all due ceremony. The groom was put upon an improvised platform and re- sponded very gracefully to the de- mands for a speech. He afterwards sent the crowd to “The Alps for a treat of candy and other delicacies. Supt. H. A. Cassidy spent part of the past summer in attendance upon the summer term of Cornell Univer- sity. He made a study of school man- agement and psychology. Miss Per- fect also attended Cornell in the sum- mer. doing special work in English. Miss Curtiss of the laMin depart- ment, made a vacation trip through Europe during the summer of 1908. Principal W. C. Brashares Is to be congratulated upon having success- fully passed the State teachers’ exam- inations in June. 1908. He is now in possession of a life ci rt ideate.
