A BirdVeye View Some of the things which those who work in the high school consider prosaic may have an interest to those who are not so familiar with the details of the Administrative Department. This page is presented to you as a review of some of the facts and figures for the school year 1931-32. The regular enrollment for the year was 261 seniors, 262 juniors, 386 sophomores, 426 freshmen arid 293 post graduates making a total enrollment of 1,428. The percent of attendance was 96. Of the students other than the post graduates, 770 were enrolled in the Academic Course, 371 in the Commercial Course and 194 in the General Course. For a number of years the enrollment of hoys and girls has been on a parity. This year there are 701 girls and 727 boys. 'I wo hundred sixty students will graduate on June 7. Last year the total enrollment was 1,214 and 206 students were graduated. The Commercial Course was aided by the addition of 10 new typewriters making a total of 43. Six members of last year’s faculty did not return, namely, Miss F.velyn Brown, Miss Jane Holden, Miss Marian Whieldon, Miss Gretchen Stewart, Mr. E. Y. Brandon and Mr. Harry Newell. Miss Augusta Gibbons left in February and her place was taken by Miss Fleanor Gamble. The new teachers this year are Miss Winifred Loutzenhiser, Miss Dorothy Wray, Miss Lois Wagoner, Miss Dorris Cook, Miss Anna Grace Smith, Miss Marian Craig and Mr. Carl T. Flack and Mr. G. C. Stover. Each year some improvements are made in the school plant. In order to accommodate those attending the basketball games, the lot north of the building is being ashed and flood lights have been installed so that it will in time make an ideal parking ground. Several years ago the Cercle Francais planted trees along the entire Case Avenue front of our lot. these trees have grown rapidly and each passing year will give its thanks to the Cercle Francais for its thoughtfulness. The former Domestic Science was remodeled into a General Science Class Room. 'the graduates in Sharon High School are to be found in about 40 different colleges and universities scattered over the United States from Lelaiul Stanford to Harvard and from Michigan to Duke University and the University of Texas The Athletic Field which was dedicated on October 6, 1928, is equipped with bleachers seating about 3,300 people. All of us look forward to the time when the permanent bleachers will be erected. This, with the cinder track which incircles the playing field covered with a splendid turf, will make one of the finest athletic fields in this section. Each morning the students report to 34 home rooms, 7 senior, 7 junior, 9 sophomore and 11 freshmen. For several years the office force has been composed of principal, vice principal and three clerks. Co-operating with the State Bible Study Contest, Sharon High School enrolled in these classes girls and boys who met every Wednesday morning for eight weeks, closing week being a test. In the Attendance Contest, Sharon High, both boys and girls, topped every school in our division. While the results are not yet in. we are hoping that we won the contest which was based upon attendance and the final examination. This would entitle our high school to special recognition by the State Y. M. C. A. The following clubs furnish opportunity for extra curricular activities: Cercle Francais. Latin, Spe-Rc-Wri, Biology, T. M. T. M., Hi-Y, Tri-Hi-Y, Spanish, Junior Chamber of Commerce. The Tri-Hi-Y is the infant club, having been started this year. Our halls are taking on new appearance. Last year about twelve new pictures were hung such as “Sir Galahad, the Deliverer,” “The Dawn of Intelligence,” Hudson’s “Halt Moon,” “Where the Sun Goes,” “The Crest of the Sierras,” “The Carpet of Allah,” “Glimpse of the Valley,” “The Castle of the Maidens, King Lear,” “Castles in Spain,” “The Sante Fe Trail,” and “Merchant of Guise.” Seven new pictures which have been ordered will be hung before the close of school. The trophy case has about reached capacity. Up to the present time this year the football team added the county trophy. These things are largely material evidence of Sharon High School’s activities. The real life of the school goes on in the hearts of the boys and girls who show their loyalty to the school by participating in its activities in a manner which gives credit to themselves and to their school.
