Six New Teachers Join Faculty Although the school had almost a record low turnover in faculty last fall, still six new teachers joined the ranks. A seven per cent increase in freshmen over last year caused the hiring of Mrs. Virginia Brajner and Mr. Donald Winslow for English and biology classes. Mr. Marvin Henry, a student teacher here last year, was added to teach seventh-grade geography, with Mrs. Hazel Owens reassigned from geography to take the freshmen social living classes. Mrs. Jacqueline Hounchell now teaches junior high music because of the overload in the seventh and eighth grades. Two other new teachers, Mr. James Mattingly, art, and Mrs. Mary Jo Sims, English, were replacements. Miss Georgann Shufflebarger returned this year after an absence of one year for advanced study. A Teacher’s Council was organized to aid Mr. Kurtz with the planning of school policy. There are eight teachers in the Council along with the two deans. An outcome of their meet¬ ings was the slow-learner’s workshop, in which the teachers met to discuss the problem of re¬ tarded students.
