THE YEAR 1934-'35 September 3, 1934, marked the beginning of a new school year, with an enrollment of three hundred and nine in junior and senior high school in the new building, and four hundred and sixteen in the first six grades in the other two buildings under the efficient direction of County Superintendent J. E. Way and Supervising Principal John R. Tei-chert. Due to the removal of the Omega pupils to Waverly in September, 1934, three new teachers were moved to the Waverly buildings, namely, Kathryn Ann Breinig, Florine Hughes and Merle Scott. Since the death of Mrs. Mary E. Ge-hres, Misses Avanelle Keechle and Ruth Penn teach in the first grade. New teachers in high school are Mr. George Swing and Mr. R. O. McFerren. After the resignation of Mr. Richard Teichert, Mr. Robert H. Poling was employed as teacher of science in the high school. The total number of teachers in Waverly schools is 23. The Board of Education is composed of the following members: James Robinson, Stull Moore, President Clarence Vallery, Will Acord and Allan Stauffer. The usual course of academic subjects was offered in high school. An extensive commercial course was organized, with many high school students showing preference for this course. The home economics classes have been very successful in serving a number of banquets each netting a nice sum financially. Three ■ new agriculture classes, farm shop, 'Maim crops, and animal husbandy, were introduced under the instruction of Mr. McFerren. The athletic association of foot ball and basket ball proved successful under the management of the new coach, Mr. George Swing. The boys basket ball team won the county basket ball tournament, which was the first achievement of this kind for Waverly high school. The high school band and glee club, under the direction of Mr. Charles Shrader, presented a pleasing concert in the early spring. The Hi-Lites and annual staff was chosen early in the year, composed entirely of senior honor students, with Miss Sara Hutt as faculty advisor. This staff has successfully published all editions of the school paper. Another interesting feature of this year is that of the county school paper. All schools in Pike county contributed news for this paper, which was printed by The Waverly Watchman. As a dramatic and English project the chapel programs were sponsored by the English classes under the supervision of the English teachers. These programs varied in style and were instructive as well as entertaining. The junior class presented their play, Healthy, Wealthy and Wise” on April 2nd to a large and appreciative audience. The junior-senior banquet, served by Miss Lenore Vallery and the home economics classes, was held in Waverly. Two outstanding clubs were formed, the FFA club by Mr. McFerren, composed of members of the agricultural classes which presented “Melvina’s Courtship,” as one of its projects, and the Current Events club formed by Mr. Helman and seniors who took part in the senior scholastic contest. In October the class of ’35 presented to Waverly high school its gift, a new mimeograph, that was greatly appreciated. This year, we feel, has been very successful. We have been able to accomplish more, due to the opportunity of having nine months of school. BETTY STAHLER.
