McDonough high school
ELECTS ITS FACULTY.
Professor Gunby and All But
Two of Old Faculty Re
elected.
The Trustees of the McDonough
High School have elected the fac
ulty for the next school year.
Professor E. D. Gunby was re
elected Supertendent without any
other name’s being considered at
all. He has made an excellent
head of the school and has
brought the school up to the high
est point of efficiency and attend
ance ever known in its history.
With regret the trustees lose
the services of Miss Laura Smith,
who declined her old place here
to accept a place in the Jackson
schools. The many friends here
of Mrs. E. 0. Ham will be glad that
she has been elected as one of the
new teachers. This is her old
home and she will be welcomed
back with pleasure.
Miss Ivey, of Warrenton, is the
only other new teacher.
The following is a complete list
of the newly elected faculty:
Professor E. D. Gunby. Super
intendent.
Mrs. R. H. Hankinson, Ninth
and Tenth Grades.
Miss Anne Thornton Spence,
Seventh and Eight Grades.
Mrs. 0. E. Ham, Sixth Grade.
Miss Bertha Bunn, Fifth Grade.
Miss Mary Ivey, Fourth Grade.
Miss May Tarver, Third Grade.
Miss Lula Hall, Second Grade.
Miss May Woodward, First
Grade.
The year just closed was the
most successful in every respect
since the establishment of the
school. The attendance reached
the fine figure of 317.
The school has been seriously
hampered by the cramped space
within which it has had to work.
The auditorium has already been
practically ruined by the necessity
of having to provide additional
class rooms. They now are in
sufficient to* accommodate the
classes and it is imperative that
additional class rooms be provid
ed before any increase in attend
ance can be cared for.
If the entire auditorium were
used for class rooms and a new
auditorium added, then the neces
sary room would be provided.
With this arrangement the au
ditorium could be restored and
twelve grades could be provided
in the school.
If McDonough is to progress, it
must have the proper school facil
ities.
