Death Causes Loss of Two Catalina Teachers The 1967-68 school year witnessed the loss of two experienced educators. In October, Mrs. Glenna Cahill, a biol- ogy teacher of seven years service at CHS, died following a short illness. She is remembered by Principal R. T. Grid- ley and the faculty as a patient teach- er with a great interest in young people. The students who benefitted from her efforts over the years have shown their appreciation by establish- ing a scholarship fund in her memory. A stroke caused the December death of Mr. Max Brillhartwho taught music at CHS for eight years. This year's orchestra president, Mark Underwood. spoke for all when he said, Musicians have lost a great companion, I have lost an excellent teacher, and Cata- lina has lost an outstanding educator. The late Mr. Max Brillhart achieved much more as a human being than most of us can hope for. He did not want to be eulogized--only remembered. iz
