Miss Newel Mason, Miss Smith Leave Academy; Staff of The Salemite, Jan. 15, 1922

Miss Mason, Head of Department of Education, Resigns

We all regret the fact that Miss Newel Mason, the head of the Department of Education, owing to ill health, was forced to resign on January 5th, the day following the reopening of the school after the holidays. The question of filling this vacancy seemed at best a perplexing one, in view of the fact that examinations are so near at hand. However, it proved to short-lived, as various other members of the faculty, namely Miss Farrah, Miss DeBarritt, Miss Leftwich and Miss Rogers, have so generously volunteered their services until a new head for the department may be secured.

Change in Administration

Salem did not quite seem familiar when we returned after the Christmas vacation. Miss Smith was gone from the academy and Mrs. Herndon from the office. Mrs. Herndon is now housemother in the academy; a position filled by Miss Smith so faithfully for four years. The academy will have a matron who has a mother’s understanding and sympathy. Mrs. Best has come to take charge of the office, and we welcome her into the Salem household.
