On August 24, he met with surprised teachers to tell them of his and Miss Shugart's new jobs. lt was a sad day and a happy one, too, recalled Ms. Linda Taylor, business teacher. We really hated to see them go, but again we were really happy about their new positions. Mrs. Carol Bowman, accountant, compared their leaving to losing a member of your family. But we love our new 1 ,gs members too, she smiled. I was as shocked as the others to find out, disclosed Mr. Michael Morton, Choir Director.
