The Faculty. Their Subjects and -'fCf1.Ul'fI'C'.S' This year the school had a total population of 549. The resident pupils numbered 341. and the pupils from the districts 208. Unfortunately the girls outnumbered the boys 309 to 2.5. There were sixteen regular teachers. three special in- structors, and a secretary. There are twenty-one pictures on the following pages because we have included the secretary who was here until No- vember and the one who took her place. Of these twenty-one persons in the faculty section, seventeen graduated from the Tamaqua schools. During the year five substitutes taught in the absence of the regular teachers. They were Mrs. Harry Fetterman, Mrs. .lohn Sehmitthenner, the Rev. W. E. Myers, Mrs. Clarence Hess, and Mrs. Mary Samasek. The medical and dental staff included Dr. Gordon Weaver, school doctor, Mrs. Anna Grif- fiths, substituting as school nurse for Miss Pearl Steigcrwalt. who was called back into the Navy: Dr. J. N. Forrest. school dentist: and Miss Eva Scarloss. dental hygienist. Mr. Edwin J. Berk was the attendance officer.
