August 6, 1931 the class of 1914 of Collins High school held its 6th annual reunion at the High school building. Twenty-nine attended, including their families.
August 27, 1931 September 7, the school bell will again ring for probably the largest enrollment in the history of the Collins school. We are to have our Homemaking for girls on a vocational basis, paralleling much the work of the boys in their Vocational agriculture work. The home Economics rooms are being arranged so as to be more adaptable to the proper training of the girls in this important field. They will each be required to maintain supervised projects at home in addition to their work in the classroom, this all making their school work much more practical. Previously we have been having our vocational agriculture instructor devoting three-fourths time to agriculture work. This year, he will devote full time, due to the fact that we are offering an additional year's work in agriculture to the farm boys. We have been offering them during their High School course the following: Shop, Animal Husbandry, and Field Crops 1 year each. The coming year, we will also offer in addition to these a course in Farm Management.
A complete list of the faculty for the year follows: Earl R. Cope. - Supt.; S. N. Jespersen - Principal, Social Science, Athletics; M. F. Grosscup - Vocational Agriculture; Morris Keeney - Science, Music; N. Ember Day - Home Economics and Girls Athletics; Elizabeth Breeden - Mathematics; Martha Berry - English, Dramatics; Clara Signs - Junior High, Social Science; Marjorie Byal - Grade Princ., 3rd and 4th Fundamentals; Julia Bielefeldt - 5th and 6th Fundamentals; Frances Skarshaug -Music, Art, Aud.; Vera Vasey - Science, Library, Physical Training; Gladys Petri - 2nd Grade; Anna Corey – 1st Grade.
In connection with the opening of the local schools, Sept. 7, it is well to note some of the improvements wrought by the janitor, J. G. Gingles who has repainted five of the rooms, placed screens and screen doors on the home economics department and painted the outside frames of the 257 windows of the two buildings.
