Familiar Faces Some Subs Have Become Almost As Familiar To Students As The Faculty ubstitutes. Since junior high school, this word could strike fear or joy into the hearts of thsoe who heard it. In some circumstances, it could mean tak- ing it easy that school day. But for oth- ers, it meant working just as hard or even harder than when the teacher was there.

Mrs. Stovie Mc- Clure affectionately became known as Mrs Mac. Mrs. Paulette Long be- came used to the Red because of her eye-catching red hair.
