 During the past year, said MT. Tirrell, we have lost Francis J. Leayens in death. MT Leavens for thirty years had taken active interest in Academy af- fairs, for 20 years he served as trus- tee, was treasurer of the board for nine years and president for eight years. He has been greatly missed. In George s. Palmer as the new member of the board the Academy has secured man inter ested in the school and its development. Faculty Changes.
 There are many faculty changes this year in which the school loses some of its long service teachers. Miss Helen Marshal, librarian, and in charge of the museum, has retired. Everyone who has
 been at the Academy knows her worth
 and the Academy is fortunate in secur- | ing her advice in the future, although
 losing her as an active librarian. Her
 place will be taken by Miss Dorothy
 Gregson who is well suited for the work.
 In Peck Library the Academy has li-
 brary the greatest in the world owned
 by any secondary school.
 l Miss Catherine Crocker, for nine years
 member of the faculty as French in- structor, leaves this summer and will re-
 main in France for a year. Another loss 1 to the faculty is in Miss Edna Currier, I teacher for three years. New teachers secured for places left vacant are Miss 1 Smith, Miss Edith Crosby and Miss Ly- l dia Bixby. Miss Sarah Leavens contin-
 ues on her leave of absence her place to be filled by Miss Flora Davidson. As a teacher of English and history Miss FL len Greeley has been secured. Another great loss to the school comes in the res ignation of Raymond V. Congdon, whc in his years as member of the faculty
 has taken great interest in all schoo activities, coached the boys for prize speaking, trained the cheer leaders, and
 inspired the athletes of the Academy with a determination to win. Mr. Cong
 don's place will be filled by Miss Heller
 Newton in mathematics. John H. Will
 Hams, Jr., has been secured as director
 of physical training at the Academy t begin next fall under the new state rul ) ing.
