She's a secretary not completely sold on women's lib. In this world of progress and changes we still can learn from tradition. An exceptional mechanic like Nick DeGrave would be an asset to any business. He has learned many of his skills by working and listening to others. In this world of hustle and bustle we still find time to learn from others. 69 Faculty Helps Us 1. MR. HARRY KAMINISKI, English 2. MRS. CATHY PLASSCHAERT, English, Spanish 3. MRS.
