Miss Anna Sinclair, nfth grade critic, is also back at work after a year's absence spent in study at Armour Institute, Chicago. Miss Anne Rasmussen, who filled Miss Sinclair's position, is now seventh grade critic in the State Teachers College at Minot, North Dakota. Mr. Howard I-I. Clemons is taking the position left vacant by the absence of Mr. George P. Deyoe, who received an appointment as Roberts Fellow at Columbia University and is doing work toward his doctor's degree. Miss Constance Garrett, assistant instructor in history, is doing government educational work. Miss Anthonette Durant, ofthe English department, was unable to resume her duties the second semester. During her absence the vacancy was filled by Mr. l-larry L. Cole. Mrs. Myrna Mesloxv, instructor in home economics, accepted a position at Stout Institute at Menominee. Miss Louise Whitchurch is now in charge ofthe home economics work. A number of changes have also been made in the school plant. A ventilating system was installed in the ladies' rest room. The exteriors of both of the main buildings were completely repointed to prevent the wearing of the bricks by weathering. All the windows of the assembly room, the domestic science rooms, the industrial arts rooms, and the janitor's cottage were recurtained. A new laboratory desk and case were purchased for the physical science department, a new ventilating hood was installed in the soils laboratory, the sinks in the art room were replaced, and the showers in the men's gymnasium repaired. Improvements on the school farms include a pressure water system, a machine shed, rewiring, and several new pieces of machinery. The classes in group leadership conducted by Mr. C. A. Caster, county Y. M. C. A. leader, were again offered. Rural life was the only new course added to the curriculum. All men students in the department of secondary education are now required to select twenty-four hours from four ofthe following five sub- jects: history, mathematics, science, foreign language, and rural life. Various rules concerning fees and grade points are to go into eHect next fall. Students who register after the designated time will be charged an extra fee of one dollar. Registration after ten calendar days may also entail a reduction in the normal load of work for that semester. A C average must be maintained in the professional subjects, in the major, and in the minor. This ruling does not apply to the present juniors and seniors. A student who has less than a B average cannot carry extra work. The Pioivaaa Of 1933
