Present Session, His Work Has
Been Efficient,
HILMAN MOODY AGAIN
AGRICULTURAL DIRECTOR
Other Members of Faculty Reflect
ed Include J. II. Taylor And
Rowe Chapman.

j. Fl. Bayer is to again have charge
of Grove School next year. He was
unanimously reelected principal at
a meeting of the High School Board
on last Saturday, his work this year
being considered by the board as
most satisfactory, his discipline and
methods of school management most
acceptable.
Hilman Moody was also again Sc
lected to head the Agricultural de-
partment of the school for the 1920
1921 session. Mr.. Moody has done
splendid work in this department this
year, and is a most popuar and eff
cient member of the faculty. He
has been quite an inspiration to the
boys in particular, having organized
and held together a flourishing Hi-Y
Club, and otherwise aided them in
their school activities.
Other faculty members reelected
on Saturday, were j. H. Taylor and
Rowe Chapman, both capable and
successful instructors Mr.. Taylor
besides heading the Mathematics de-
partment of the school, has also been
athletic coach and director. Mr..
Chapman has had charge of the
Science classes 1T Grove for two years
now. He is a competent Chemistry
and Physics teacher and is held in
high respect and esteem by his pu-
pills.
That Grove has this year had a
prosperous and successful term is
well known to all patrons of the
school. Over 800 stundents have been
enrolled, larger number than have
been enrolled any previous year. The
attendance has been extraordinary,
considering the flu, measles, and
small pox epidemies, that interfered
somewhat with the regular routine Of
the schools. Some forty odd grad
yates will be turned out from the
school this May. The interest in the
Vocational courses, Agriculture and
Domestic Art and Science has been
exceptional, more students than for
merly having taken advantage of
these courses, that are keenly practi-
cal and beneficial.
The new state courses of study in
the academic departments have been
put into smooth working order and
are developing splendid results. A
faculty of eleven members, while
not entirely sufficient for the large
number of students, have done most
excellent work and have ably assisted
the principal in building up the gtan-
dard and morale of the school. The
expression department under the di-
rection of Miss Inez Burch, and Music
under Mrs. j. H. Bayer have also had
a successful and progressive year.
Mr.. Bayer in his administration OF
the high school has stressed work and
the Importance of study above every.
thing else. He is a believer in a
square deal for everyone, and has
striven to institute the same. He
has abolished exemption from exam.
ination, requiring every student tc
stand the final scholastic tests. 9th
erwise he has conformed to the Gus
toms and ideals of Grove, and has
made himself part, also an asset
to the community life of Paris. With
him again at the head of the school
next year, prosperous and promis
ing session is assured,
No other teachers fer the schoo
were elected on Saturday, it being
understood that no other Of the pres
ent faculty were again applicants
though several doubtless will be re
elected at an early meeting of th'
board,
