Miss Anker was an unusually capable and versatile young lady who had a host of friends, both among the members of our school and the people of our community. She was faithful and devoted to her school duties and tasks and Was always ready and Willing to give unstintingly of her talent and service in response to the many varied calls of school and its manifold ac-. tivities.

Page Seventeen REVIEW OF THE PAST YEAR BE EE Our school registration last September was 705, of whom 26 were post graduates, including 23 members of the teacher training class. The rest were classified as follows:-Seniors 121, Juniors 151: Sophomores 1725 Freshmen 235. The variation in the number of seniors who started the work of the year and the number who are to graduate is noticeable and is governed by the results of effort as typified by the survival of the fittest. This year the same courses of study have been offered as last year. Progress is our watchword and it is our constant endeavor that our school advance in efficiency and achievement. We be- lieve that concentrating and focalizing our eHorts on the courses heretofore offered prove more effective than scattering our ener- gies over a wider range of subjects. At the close of last year eight members of our teaching force resigned, most of whom are continuing as teachers in larger and more remunerative positions than we could offer them. Of these eight the two who had been with us the longest were Mr. Henshaw and Miss Willey, six and five years, respectively. The others were Misses Knight, Aldrich, Gutterson, Sanford, and Messrs. Muir and Abbott. Early last November Miss Anker who had just entered on her fifth year of service resigned her position because of ill health. Miss Kambour was secured to take her place on our teaching staff. Soon after relinquishing her position Miss Anker grew decidedly worse, and she lingered on until March when she passed away. In her death our school sustained a great loss. We have been fortunate in our selection of new teachers this year. The success and recognition of excellence which Spaulding High School is steadfastly attaining is due to the harmonious efforts of all its teachers and the responsiveness of its pupils, but it is due in no small degree to the splendid and efficient service, ren7 dered by the longstanding members of our teaching force who for ten, fifteen, and even twenty years have loyally labored in ful- filling the message which Our Echo reverberates year after year.
