ART KOOP Migrated south to enjoy a. Mexican Christmas. Talents lie in playing a number of musical instru¬ ments — phonograph, radio and tape-recorder.

Claims Maths is beyond her but her marks don’t substan¬ tiate this. Believes a student should be seen, not heard. She enjoys driving car and her driving ability is in great demand by the local girls.
