The School 1936 - 3? The School Year for 1936 - 3? opened with an enrollment of 425, seventy of these being- new puoils in grade seven. For the first time in several years the enrollment in all class groups was about the same. Grade seven - 70, Grade 6 - 74, Grade 9 - 75, Grade 10 - 75, Grade 11 - 71, Grade 12 - 60. This enrollment has held ouite consistently during the year. At the beginning of the year there were three changes in the faculty. Mrs. Bernice Drumn who had taught English and Vocations in grades 7 and 8 since the opening of this building in 1922 was replaced by Miss Edith Monahan. Miss Monahan is a graduate of Russell Sage College, Class of 1935, and has been doing secretarial work since her graduation. Miss Amelia Viitt wrs added to the faculty as a second teacher in Commercial Subjects. She is a 1931 graduate of Boston University and taught in Fort Fairfield, Maine and Foxboro, Massachusetts before coming to Thomaston. Mr. Frank Keaney, Jr. was added to the faculty as teacher of Physical Education. Mr. Keaney is a graduate of Rhode Island State where he majored in Physical Education. Mr. Keaney was a four letter man at Rhode Island ana is particularly fitted in both training and experience to teach Physical Education and coach the v; rious sports. Some changes have been made in the commercial work making it possible to offer a general clerical curriculum as well e s the preparation for stenograoher positions as formerly offered. This change added an ex-t nded course in filing and the use of office machines as well as a generally broadened course in office practice. The course in Physical Education returned to the school this year after a lapse of five vrtrs is of material benefit to everyone. Each nu:il being required to take this v-ork two hours rach week is gaining physical benefit which can be measured only over a period of time. The better school and class interest at inter-school and intra-mural contests is a direct indica- 13
