11 e((icate4 he only faculty member of the origi- nal staff at Hoover High School when it opened in 1930, is going to retire. After 36 years of teaching at Hoover, Mr. Close says, I sort of grew up with the school. I’ve stayed at Hoover because I like it.” Among his many laurels lies the honor of being the music department chair¬ man. The fight song played at football games was composed by this popular teacher. His musical talent was an im¬ portant part of his Music Appreciation, Harmony, and Mixed Chorus classes. Mr. Close met his wife, Rhea, at Hoover in 1930, when she was also a teacher. Today they have three grown children. Though Mr. Close will retire from teaching at Hoover, he is not retiring from teaching; he plans to teach pri¬ vately. He said he also plans to work on some of his unfinished piano compositions and dabble in landscape painting. A large debt of gratitude is owed to Mrs. Victoria Baker, a senior counselor, who is also retiring.
