man is graduate of the Mt. Clemens

of mathematics. Miss Potter is a
graduate of the Alma High school
and the Michigan State Normal Col
lege of Ypsilanti She has been prin-
cipal Of the High school at Lexington
up to this year and has given entire
satisfaction. She is sister to Miss
Jessie Potter, who is now an instruct
or in the sciences in the High school
here. Mr.. Maxwell is a Mt. Pleasant
man, graduate of the High school
there and of the Normal school. He
has taken more manual training
courses than any OF their this years
graduates and is eminently fitted to
take charge of the manual training
here. Miss McGreaheam, the new in
structor in music and drawing is also
a graduate of the Normal school at
Mt. Pleasant. She has had four years
experience in the schools of Clare
and Constantine. Miss Laura B..
Soule, the new teacher of the seventh
grade, is we'll known Alma woman.
She is a graduate of the Flint High
school and Alma College and for a
number of years has been teaching in
mission schools in the south. She is
we'll qualified for her position. Miss
Leisinger comes from Hudson. She
is a graduate of the Hudson High
school and the Ypsilanti Normal
school, and has had four years of
experience in the Hudson schools.
Miss Drake was a student in the kim
dergarten department of Alma Col
lege up to year ago when she was
graduated from the shorter course.
She has been teaching in Harbor
Beach this past year and has given
excellent satisfaction From all that
can be learned of them, Alma has no
need to fear that the new teachers are
not up to the highest standard.
However, the places left vacant by
the designations of the former teach
ers are very hard to fill Mr.. Currier,
in charge of the department of mathe
mates has benn a high class instruct
or as we'll as a very efficient basket
ball and baseball coach. He has dis
played an enthusiasm and personal
interest in the affairs of the school
which has been highly commendable
Alma High school loses a fine teacher
and efficient coach and an all-around
good man. He has been here for
two years and expects to take up
work in .he University of Chicago.
Miss Margaret Cameron resigns her
position TO take up course OF study
in the University of Michigan She
also has been very capable teacher
and will be much missed
Miss Bertha Taggart, an excellent
instructor resigns her grade position
