The following year, the trus- tee, Mr. Roy Hack, consoli- dated the two high schools at M err illville. Mr. O. K. Ap- pleman w a s secured as principal and Miss W o o d was retained as assistant.

Miss Ver da Zuschnitt was secured to teach this department, vutli Mr. Appleman and Miss Wood filling the positions they held the previous year. This year marked the largest increase in attend- ance of any year since the establish- ment of the school. The present year marks the begin- ning of a new era in the school. The high school is fully commissioned, hav- ing both senior and junior high school. Mr. O. K.

Lucas is Junior High principal and athletic direc- tor. The growth of our school has been such that last sum- mer the class rooms w ere re-arranged to provide more space and at present writ- ing the con- gestion has be- come such, that additional teachers will be required in the grades. The grades will occupy mo. ' t of the building now us- ed by the high school. Rians are now being contemplated for the erection o! a modern high school building. ROY W. HACK, TDK PUHFRNT TRl ' STKB
