QWe pay tribute to Miss Fulton in an- other section of our bookl. She was replaced by Miss Mae Louise Kohr from South Bend, a graduate of Indiana University. Readily ad- justing herself to the ways of P. H. S., Miss Kohr filled her po- sition with aptitude and efiiciency. MR. ROBERT JONES. who had been supervisor of instrument- al music last year. joined the Unit- ed States Navy immediately after school closed last spring. His va- cancy was filled by Miss Emily Stahr, who holds a B. M. degree from DePauw University. She di- rected the band and orchestra and gave individual lessons.
