MR RALPH KEHOE MR. CARL KOTZAN Seldom seen without a hammer and a grin, Mr. Kotzan is iust one of those people who can repair anything from engines to tables. One might assume that his patience would wear thin at the close of a day from the trials and tribulations of a shop teacher, but after school MR. JAMES MELLINGER Mr. Mellinger, our new director of band and chorus, received his Bachelor and Masters' degrees at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music. Although he hails from Youngstown, Ohio, Mr. Mellinger enjoys living in the New England area. He is a family man and is interested in sports and photography. MRS.

Mrs. Hall is now acting as Guidance Director and is teaching junior high school English. An avid sports fan, Mr. Kehoe has been appointed coach of the O.L.H.S. basketball and baseball teams. lt is said that his most happy moment in Old Lyme was January 6, when his varsity basketball team defeated the Saybrook team.

Also, in the summer, he serves as a police officer and is able to check on his pu- pils. ln the winter, it's not unusual for Mr. Kot- zan to return to Old Lyme from the north with a deer tied to his car.
