Completed in 1924 at the cost of $500,000, the school was built for a capacity of 1000 students. The architect was Clyde Smith Adams, who also designed the Alfred Cramer School and the Harry C. Sharp School. Hatch Junior High School has 33 classrooms, a 1200 seat auditorium, and a gymnasium. The school was named for Cooper B.

During his term, which ended in 1902, the Manual Training and High School was built, at the corner of Haddon and Newton Avenues. This building would serve as Camden's high school until the completion of the current Camden High School at Park and Baird Boulevards in 1918.
Cooper B. Hatch promoted other projects while mayor of Camden, including the first asphalt paving in the city, and improvements to the municipal water system. After leaving the Mayor's office, Cooper B. Hatch continued in public service, serving as the Sheriff of Camden County from 1908 to 1911.

SUMMER
CLASSES OPEN TOMORROW Camden's first summer school for high school grades opens tomorrow in Cooper B. Hatch Junior High School, Euclid Avenue and Park Boulevard. Today
more than 250 students, who have failed in not more than two subjects,
will register in the school Camden
students will be required to post a deposit of $1, which will be
returned to them if they successfully pass their examinations in August.
Out-of-town students will be required to pay $5 tuition fees. T.
W. Trembath, vice principal of Camden
High School, will be principal of the summer school. Thirty student
teachers from Temple University School of Education will be instructors.
Five teachers from Camden High
School will supervise the studies as follows: John J. Danaher,
science and history; Dr. Walter N. Myers, Latin and modern languages;
Miss Marion Lukens, mathematics; Everett B. Townsend, commercial
subjects, and Trembath, English. Trembath
said yesterday that it will be almost imperative for students who have
had failures in the past term to take the summer course to catch up in
their studies, if they wish to continue with their classes because of
the change in curriculum in the fall when two high schools will be
established. He
explained that students may take up two subjects in which they have
failed, and if they pass tests satisfactorily in August they will be
promoted. Twelfth grade students will be graduated. Students
may register today from 9 a. m. until noon. Classes will be held from
8.30 to 11.30 a. m. daily. The
school is open to ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth grades only. If the
school is a success it will be extended eventually to other grades, Dr.
Leon N. Neulen, superintendent of schools, declared. Dr.
Neulen and the board of education worked out
the plan for the school. It is estimated the school will save the city
considerable in educational costs. Each student required to stay an
additional year in schools because of failures costs the city more than
$100.. The following studies will be taught at the school: Latin, French, Spanish, English, German, modern European history, early European history, American history; economics, algebra, geometry, general mathematics, vocation mathematics, advanced mathematics, bookkeeping, shorthand, typewriting, chemistry, physics and biology. |

BOARD
Of EDUCATION SHIFTS 14 TEACHERS The Camden Board Education last night approved transfers of 14 teachers, the appointment of two new instructors and the retirement on pension of two others. The board then adjourned until 11.45 a. m. today and it was announced the 1938-39 board will be organized at noon when Commissioner Mary W. Kobus is expected to be re-elected president. When the report of the teachers committee making recommendations for appointments, transfers and retirements was read it was approved by unanimous vote and without comment. Following the meeting Carlton W. Rowand explained that most of the transfers were made to meet emergencies in teaching classes at Woodrow Wilson High School, where more than 1500 students will be enrolled for the second semester, be ginning today. Rowand explained that enrollment at the Wilson school is the highest in its history, due to many students taking up English and commercial courses instead of entering Camden senior high school, which will have an enrollment of approximately 1540 students, the smallest in several years. List of Transfers Transfers affecting teachers in junior high schools are: Louis E. Feinstein from Hatch Junior High School to commercial business organization, Wilson High School; Frank E. Sias, from Cramer Junior High to physical education, Wilson High; Jessie W. McMurtrie from Cramer Junior High School, to physical education, Wilson High; Wilton D. Greenway, from Cramer Junior High School to mathematics, Camden High; Elizabeth Dickinson, from Bonsall; to English, Cramer Junior High; Mrs. Mildred C. Simmons, from English to mathematics, Cramer Junior High; Miss Celia Boudov, from Hatch Junior High to departmental geography, science, and penmanship, Liberty School; Mrs. Elizabeth R.

Lippincott from Parkside to Dudley school; Mrs. Alva T. Corson from Washington to Broadway school, and Mary G. Cathell from Washington to Dudley school. Teachers whose retirement was approved are Carolina W. Taylor, Grade 2, Broadway school, and William M. Thayer, mathematics [Camden] senior high school. Both teachers had resigned and applied for their pensions, the report read. Appointments Made Nathan Enten was appointed as physical education teacher in the Cramer school and Harry S. Manashil was appointed commercial teacher in Hatch school. Each will receive $1400, annually. The board also approved the appointment of Florence M. Dickinson as principal of Lincoln school at a salary of $2200 annually. The assignment of Miss Grace Hankins as principal of Parkside school to succeed Miss Dickinson also was approved. Ethel Thegen was approved for appointment as assistant librarian at the Camden senior high school at a salary of $5.50 a day. All appointments are effective today. To relieve overcrowded conditions among pupils the board approved the transfer of 7A and 7B classes from the Washington to the Cramer school. The board vote to open a library in the Cramer school and Raymond G. Price, supervisor of building was instructed to provide, the necessary equipment. A resolution of condolence upon the death of Ethel C. Wenderoth, for 19 years a teacher in the Broadway School was passed and secretary Albert Austermuhl was instructed to send a copy to members of the deceased teacher's family. 2 New Faces on Board The board received and filed a letter from Mayor George E. Brunner in which he stated he had appointed Mrs. George W. Tash, Samuel T. French Jr. as new members and had re-appointed Robert Burk Johnson as a board member. William B. Sullender, of the Tenth Ward, who was not re-appointed, was commended by the members for his services. E. George Aaron said he regretted the fact that Sullender was leaving as a member and wished him success. Others joined in this tribute. Sullender in reply thanked the members for their co-operation during his term of office. |
