Reuieu; of the If ear H. F. Moninger The year opened with an enrollment of 1235 grouped as follows: Boys Girls Boys Girls Freshmen 218 239 Juniors .. 112 135 Sophomores 171 170 Seniors 71 119 During the year, we have enrolled from other schools 19 boys and 10 girls. The total enrollment to date is 1264. Of this number, 1099 reside in Newark and 165 come to us from the surrounding farms and villages. The Newark Board of Education receives approximately $12,500 tuition from the Township Boards for these pupils. The growth of the Newark High School for the past twenty years has been much more rapid than the growth of the city. When the writer en¬ tered the school in September, 1911, the enrollment was 532. Every room in the building was being used. In 1918, the enrollment was 804. We were talking about the crowded condition of the school and of the very great need of a new high school to adequately provide for our rapidly growing school population. In September, 1927, the enrollment was 1098 and in September, 1928, the enrollment was 1235. We are eagerly awaiting the day when the new junior high schools, now under construction, will offer relief from the almost impossible con¬ ditions under which we now work. We began the year with three new teachers: Harold H. Loudin, Alge¬ bra and General Science; Harriett B. Kreider, English, and Wilbur Brown, Sheet Metal and Machine Work. In February, Mr. Osborne asked f or a leave of absence due. His place was taken by Mrs. Wayne Achor. At the opening of the second semester, Mrs. Noble Poole was added to the faculty.
