This is because several new departments have been added to our high school and therefore several new teachers. The new departments are the County Normal School, Domestic Science and Domestic Arts and Manual Training. Besides the new faces in the new de- partments there are several new faces in old posi- Sons or old faces in new positions, as the case may e. To former students perhaps the most unnatur- al thing a visit to the school would reveal to them is the change in the superintendent's office. Our stalwart and reliable Mr. Biery has taken an up- ward step and is now Fulton County's superintend- ent. . To take the place vacated by him Mr. Alt- stetter was promoted from the High School prin- cipalship. The vacancy thus made was well filled by calling upon Mr. Holman to advance from the regular teaching ranks and placing him in charge of the High School. Now it was necessary to find a science instruc- tor. From a large number of applicants the Board selected Mr. Ivan Sechrist, a graduate of Otter- bein University 119141. In addition to the regu- lar work in science, Mr. Sechrist has had charge of all school athletics for the boys. Miss Catherine Costello, a Western Reserve graduate, was call- ed back after a two year absence to teach Math- ematics. She has also directed the High School orchestra during the year. Miss Jessie Wolcott COberlin and Columbial has continued to have charge of the German and part of the English work and also supervised some work in story tell- I ing and dramatics. The classes in Physical Geo- graphy and some of the English classes again re- cited to Miss Florence Bayes tOxfordJ. Miss Bayes also found time to organize a Girl's Camp- fire and coach several dramatic performances. A new instructor is found in charge of the Latin work, namely, Miss Gladys Bicknell of Western Reserve. The girls made use of Miss Bicknell's knowledge of folk dances and she was placed In charge of their athletic and gymnasium activities. It is needless to say that Mr. F. A. Tubbs fOberlinl is still supervisor of Music, but he comes to us on Tuesday instead of on Thursday as formerly. Miss Carrie Clifton, a recent graduate of Ohio State, was called upon to put in operat'on the new work in Domestic Science and Domestic Art. The boys in the new Manual Training and Industrial Arts department have been under the instruction of Mr. Chas. Snell, who graduated from the Western State Normal of Kalamazoo, Mich. 119145. The last member added to the teaching force was Miss Helen Brigham tOxfordl. She is the supervisor of the County Normal School. Mr. Biery and Mr. Altstetter also teach in the Normal department. Mr. Holman again had charge of the debating work in addition to his regular duties as Principal and instructor in History and Effective Speaking. It may be seen from the above that each one of the regular instructors was engaged in at least one line of activity for the fuller development of the boys and girls in addition to the regular teach- ing work. When we also consider that each in- structor acted as advisor to about tv.'ent3' as- signed pupils. it is evident that the faculty was well organized for effective work.
