Montpelier High School - Mirror Yearbook (Montpelier, OH)

Marcelo -Q - This year, Montpelier High School was the recipient of a rare and unique experience in the person of Mar- 2 celo Valadares de Andrade, our visiting student from pgy' is Brazil. His presence at MHS touched each and every one of us and gave us the opportunity to share cultures and ideas and to expand our own limited knowledge of other peoples and places. Marcelo arrived at MHS near the end of a wintry first semester and immediately became involved in the aca- demic and social activities of his newly-found environ- ment. At first, language was a major obstacle but with the aid of his little green dictionary and an insatiable curiosity, he soon developed a fluency that amazed us all. The weather change from his own warm climate at home in Belo Horizonte , Brazil to the winter snows of Montpelier, Ohio was another big obstacle and none of us will forget sharing in his discovery of our taken-for- granted winter cold and snow. While at MHS, Marcelo stayed in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Warren Gardner and commuted daily with Mrs. Gardner. In June, however, he returned to his family in Brazil in order to continue his secondary edu- cation. The time he spent with us was really quite short, yet he gave us so much that we shall remember his stay for a long time. We all wish him the very best of all possi- ble successes in his future and hope that perhaps some- day in the not so far future our paths will once again cross. Marcelo, thanks.

Q !f l ..,i V MRS. MARY HAINES MRS. MEREDITH WILKEN To Mrs. Mary Haines and to Mrs. Meredith Wilken, we also dedicate this yearbook and extend to you both our heartfelt thanks and appreciation for what you have given us during our brief tenure at Montpelier High School. Your combined careers of almost seventy years have had a tremendous effect on helping to build and constantly improve the educational system here in Montpelier and you will be greatly missed in the years to come. Your careers in teaching have encompassed many fields. Mrs. Wilken, you have taught in the humani- ties and the commercial subjects and fortunately, in art where your efforts have made the MHS art department one of the foremost if not the best in northwestern Ohio. Mrs. Haines, your career has spanned coaching and physical education and dramatics and English and Latin and the zest and gusto with which you took on the everyday occurrences at MHS will be impossible to replace. Each of us who had the real privilege of passing through your classes has come away with something very special and we are deeply appreciative. To both of you, we wish you many full years of happy, profit- able , and enjoyable retirement.
