Unfortunately many English 8 students this year missed out on almost a whole grading period of excellent learning experience under the guidance of Mn. P. Caeklll. We're sure glad she was able to be with us the rest of the year. Retumlng for her 4th year at IJHS is Mn. K. Lauetter. Her B.S. degree ln Educatlon from Loyola College and MsEd. in Counseling from ODU are more than enough to qualify her for teaching 7th grade Reading. Everything Mrs. V. Merritt does seems to tum into lnltlals: 7S is her class VPl-SU ls her college BS is her degree VA is her birthplace V.M. is her hobby lwho happens to be her daughterll A late, but welcome, ar- rival to the lJHS campus ls Mrs. S.
