MANY NAMES DROPPED FROM OLD LIST

Importance.

ton meets was taxed to its utmost capa-
city Monday night, when a great crowd
gathered to witness it's work in the selee-
ton OF teachers and %janitors. Ninety-four OF
the teachers were chosen, but the subject
Of ~janitors was postponed for another
week. BY the time the board had finally
concluded to adjourn and decided that IL
had done all that was expected of it the big
clock at the end Of the hall indicated that
the hour was fast approaching midnight.
Notwithstanding the fact that conjectures
had been made as to what would be done by
the new board In the selection Of teachers,
still its action in dropping of Of the list
so many Of the old ones was a surprise
to all. In the musical department Jessie
Carpenter will fill the place last year oc-
cupied by Agnes O'Conner. Frank Seykora
was elected principal Of the High school
and Lucille Stebbins was selected as draw
ing teacher. AS the vote on teachers was
announced there was considerable excite
ment, President Miller being required to
call for order. Each Of the applicants
seemed to have one or more friends
present, and each of these supporters
evinced his delight or disgust without a
semblance of hesitation.
