One of O ur Oreatesi Discoveries JO as a Oreai Diacfy Mrs. Grose can remember back 23 years when teach- ers were forced to divide their combat strength between the kids and the termites and school was “one big barn” full of animals variety grade one through grade twelve. You might say teachers pitched the hay to mice and mule alike. There was nothing but a thin partition to divide the pupils from the students. One year, about 1950, Mrs. Grose joined the jour- nalism teacher in supervision of the school annual. Then the other lady bowed out. In 1951 Principal Snyder put Mrs. Grose in full charge, and she has been braving the deadlines ever since. Gallant? There is no doubt. For 16 years she’s cracked the whip, kept the spirit high and the motivation keen. Yet for a “drover”, she’s one of the gentlest ladies we know. We on the 1968 Nitronian staff, backed by scores of former staffs and hundreds of students, wish to somehow express our gratitude. Therefore, we dedicate the 1968 Nitron- ian to our good friend and faithful leader, Mrs. Hallie Grose.
