COMMENCEMENT NUMBER 1919 , Changes in lzacultu - Again this year Rock Island High School is to lose many of its instructors. Miss Wolcott who has been instructor of Science for a little more than a year, has accepted a similar position in Hawarden, Iowa. Mr. Newman, of our manual training department, will probably teach next year, although his plans are not completed. Mr. McIntyre, instructor of the Smith-Hughes Course, and Miss Hovey, of the stenographic department, have also resigned. We especially ex- tend to Miss Hovey our very best wishes for we know that she leaves to become a bride. It is also a matter of regret to us that Miss Hudson, instructor of His- tory for two years and Miss Shafer, instructor of English for a year and a half, have resigned. Miss Hudson is not decided as to her plans but Miss Shafer has accepted a position as English instructor in the Proviso Township High School, a large school in the suburbs of Chicago. Although we are very sorry to see Miss Shafer go, we congratulate Maywood on its good fortune. Mr. Gill, who has been with us four years in the commercial department, leaves to take a similar position in Des Moines. Mr. Gill has been not only an excellent instructor, but also an invaluable member of the Watch Tower staff and will be greatly missed next year. The school also must part this year with Mr. A. G. Hill, for twelve years Director of Manual Tra ning, who is going into business in California. During all the time that Mr. Hill has served us, he has never ceased from his efficient 'helpfulness and inspiration. He has served in many responsible positions, and has won the respect of the school. It would be impossible to over-estimate the success of Mr. Hill in the nine years he was Manager ofAthletics. It was through his efforts that Athletic activities between Davenport and Rock Island were re- sumed after a lapse of some years. The boys themselves say that a better Manager could not be found. Mr. Hill has had charge of the repairs of all the city schools and has been instrumental in the planning of new buildings. The Manual Arts Building of High School was built with his direct supervision. The excellent night school which high school maintained for a number of years was brought about through the aid of Mr. Hill who was its principal. We are indeed sorry to lose Mr. Hill, but we wish him success in his new undertaking. I I We wish God-speed to those of our faculty who are leaving us this year 7 Q so , Way I3
