Promises to Be Best Term Ever
Held in Tfci District
On the 7th of September we
want to see the largest student
body that has ever assembled at
Hitchcock. This year promises
to be the greatest in the history
of the schools of Hitchcock. Last
year We found the school with a
well qualified faculty and the re-
sults were very favorably ac-
claimed) Tois year we have as
strong if not a stronger faculty
than we had last year.
Our grade principal Mr. J. T
Moore of Durant promises to
be a strong young man for the
grades aud a great assistance in
foot ball. He was on the college
team at Durant the past year.
From the recommendations giv-
eu out by the College at Duiant
we feel certain that Mr. Moore
Will give us some real stuff.
Miss Dalton of Norman will
give us some very desirable
needs in our Home Economic de-
partment. She ccmes highly
recommended to us by the Uni-
versity. The Dean assures us.
of a successful year in Economics
Miss Wright comes to us from
Edmond and ha's the qualities
that it takes to handle the His
tory and Latin as we wish for
our young students. The His-
tory and Latin department of
the Central highly recommends
her to us.
Miss Wren of Weatherford
comes with the ear marks
that are necssary to handle the
English and the Girls Athletics.
The English and Athletic depart
ment at Weatherford affirms
that we have a real coach as well
as an English instructor.
The two MissPeeries of Hint-
on. certainly will handle the sec-
ond primary and the Fourth
with part of the Fifth. With
their quahficationsrecommenda
lions and aptitudes we feel sure
of their succes in these grades.
Our First Primary Sixth
grade teacher High School Prin-
cipal and your Superintendent
needs no iatroduetini All the
faculty wishes is co operation
without this we will not be able
to make the term what it should
be. Should we get this we be-
lieve this year is going to be the
greatest in the history of the
school. We have the faculty and
the material to make the ball
roll so let us strive for wonder-
ful success this time;
We invite you one and all to
visit our school at your leisure
and to converse with us on any
subject that you wish. At any
time that we are not busy your
wants will be given special at-
tention. When we are rushed
your affairs will be seen after at
the earliest date possible. Com
rnand us when you need help. It
is our desire to give you what
you what you want as far as it is
possible.
