Miss Patricia L. Armstrong It would be interesting if Miss Armstrong, our librarian, did not like to read. However, she does. She also likes to tell amusing stories, to be ot assistance, to travel, and to work at Lakewood Hospital on weekends. With the coming of snow, the possibility always exists that the year will be completed with a substitute for Miss Armstrong. Miss Armstrong likes to ski. To Rocky River from Parma High came, this year, a most unusual man-a choir director who also sings. Mr. Shurtlett spends his afternoons at Beach School and his mornings at the high school, preparing the choir tor one ot its 8 195768 engagements. Tennis, swimming, and membership in the tenor section of the Cleveland Orchestra Chorus are some of Mr. Shurtlett's interests.

They are also good, for Mr, Thomas obviously believes that the primary function of a band is to be heard, and above par music is the result. Mr. Thomas guides the Music Appre- ciation Club, The Velvetones, and blows cornet. Shut up, you flutes. Mr. John E. Shurtleff Mr. Harlan L. Thomas
