Administration and the Faculty To the information about the faculty members on the four following pages, there are many things to add in order to make the record complete. Wle want to remember the many faculty changes made this year, the substitutes we had, and some of the other activities in which the teachers engaged. In addition to their regular teaching duties, several faculty members taught in the adult edu- cation program sponsored by Pennsylvania State College. They were Miss Bahrt, who taught typ- ing: Miss Brewer, who taught public speaking, and Miss Fey, who taught shorthand. Mr. Stine was administrator of the night school. Mr. NVelker, who left us in February, went to Columbia University to study for his Masteras Degree in administration. This year we had several additions to the faculty. One new member was Mr. Duncavage, who re- placed Mr. Welker as assistant football coach, and teacher of physics. chemistry, and biology. There was also Mr. Fetterman, who taught physical edu- cation and biology and was elected Sophomore class advisor. It was largely through Mr. Fetter- man's efforts that the intramural basketball league came into being. Mr. Jones, who joined us when Mr. Welker left, was Sophomore history teacher. The substitute teachers were the Reverend XV. E. Myers, Mrs. Fetterman, and Mrs. Lutinan. These persons came to us on the shortest of notice and we greatly appreciate their efforts. Those employed by the School Board for the betterment of our health were Dr. Gordon Weaver, school doctor, Miss Pearl Steigerwalt, school nurse, Dr. N. Forrest, school dentist, and Miss Eva Scarloss, dental hygienist. Mrs. Sarah Nahf was truant officer. - Reading from left to right: Mr. Duncavage, Miss Brewer, Mr. Welsh. Miss Britton. Mr. Baer.
