T K Tandy resigned from the high school faculty to take a Welch position and coach athletics. The board debated consolidating Cliff Glen Lyn, moved Liberty and Chestnut Knob schools to Blwood, and faced multiple janitor and driving job applicants. A $5 raise for Knob Street staff and $10 for two-school posts were granted while Miss Pine or Miss Simpson remained to be placed in the English department. Pine could take the high school post with Simpson at Knob Street. Liberty school was robbed, with doors forced by crowbar and items such as an axe and maps stolen.
