During the year ' ' ' ' the teachers enjoy many different social gatherings at which all the cares of teaching are forgotten. A splendid picnic which was enjoyed hy all. was held last Septem- ber at Hilgen Spring Park. Baseball and horse- shoe were foremost among the games, and after the games, a most delicious dinner was served. Also the usual Christmas party was held at the school. However, due to prevailing business condi- tions and the general depression, gifts were dis- tributed to the facult children only, while the subscriptions from the teachers were donated to charity. Of course, no Christmas party would pos- sibly be complete without a Christmas tree which added a most delightful atmosphere. The dinner served in the cafeteria was also verv appetizing. There are eighty-three teachers composing the faculty. Aliss V ' erna Schultz. a teacher of the Commercial Department, left the school in Sep- tember to become .Mrs. James X ' erdium, and she now resides in Dowagiac, Michigan.
