THE ECHO. SCHOOL NOTES After a vacation of two weeks, school again opened on Monday, January 9, with a large enrollment. The incoming class this term was very large, making it necessary to seat many in one of the class-rooms.

Owing to the fact that Miss Mailer and Miss Wylie have been given a leave of ab- sence for the remainder of the year, we note some changes in the faculty. Miss Watson, of the University of California, has taken charge of the science department, and Mr, Jeffries, of Harvard University, is in- structor in English and History. A cement floor has been laid in the base- ment of the High School building, which is certainly a decided improvement. Many of the former S. R. H. S. graduates, now students of the State Normal schools. have returned to their work after the vaca- tion during the holidays. Miss Irene Norris and Miss Kathryn Smyth are among the new ones to enter the San Francisco Nor- mal. Among those who have returned are the following: San Francisco Normal—Miss Clara Ein- horn, Julia Saunders, Grace and Maud Hinz, Hilda Lawrence, Helen Thurston, Kathryn Smyth, Irene Norris and Ruth Smyth, San Jose Normal—Misses Gertrude King, Georgia Pursell, Eleanor Smith, Elsie Rick- ard, Mildred Petersen, Anna Voss. The High School entertainment which was given at the Columbia Theater on the evening of December 23, was a great suc- cess both in point of presentation and in at- tendance. The success of the evening’s en- tertainment was due to the faithful efforts of the students and teachers alike. By the time the doors opened every seat had been sold. The audience was an appreciative one, as was shown by its frequent and hear- ty applauses, which burst forth during both the cantata and minstrels. Students and patrons all, we thank you for the interest manifested in us,
