REVEILLE REVIEW OE THE YEAR H. F. MONINGER The High School enrollment for this year is 1079 and is grouped as follows: Freshmen, 112 boys, 115 girls; Sophomores, 215 boys, 221 girls; Juniors, 128 boys, 126 girls; Seniors, 64 boys and 98 girls. This is almost 200 less than the enrollment one year ago. The decrease is due to the opening of the Lincoln and Roosevelt Junior High Schools last September. These schools relieved us of about half of the ninth grade pupils of the city. We are still very much over-crowded and are looking forward to the opening of the other Junior High Schools next September for further re¬ lief. With four Junior High School units and a Central Senior High School, Newark will be properly equipped for secondary school work. Class room activities this year have been very satisfactory through¬ out the school. In some sections of the school marked increase in interest and enthusiasm have been noted. A new General Science laboratory has been installed and extensive equipment added to the Physical and Chemical laboratories. The Shop work has shown marked improvement both in the number of pupils taking the work and in the interest manifest. This year we have had four Debate teams with 26 pupils actively par¬ ticipating in debate work. In the State League, our teams won seven de¬ bates and lost one. In the Triangular League we broke even, winning from Mount Vernon and losing to Zanesville. The work in Journalism has been very satisfactory. The News Sheet introduced last year seems to meet very largely the needs of the school. In athletics, the situation is ideal. We are winning and losing in about the right proportion for healthy growth and proper stimulation. The track outlook for the last week of school is very encouraging. The extra curricular activities of the school are in good condition. The Dramatic Club and the Girl Reserves merit special mention for their work. We began this year with three new teachers: Clifford Orr, Athletic Coach and teacher of Sociology; H. W. Carr, teacher of Commercial Geog¬ raphy and Economics; and Elizabeth Owen, teacher of Domestic Science and Art. In December, Clara MacDonald was given leave of absence due to illness and Mrs. Evelyn Carpenter was called in to take her place. We are looking forward to Commencement with a feeling that this year has been a very satisfactory and successful one. THIRTY
