HAPPY RETIREMENT Mrs. Beatrice Nobes Mrs. Nobes has been the only high school art teacher Orchard View has ever employed. She has been in the educational field for 28 years; 25 of those spent at OV. In 1945 Mrs. Nobes taught grade school at Muskegon. She took time off to be with her family, and later became a substitute teacher. I ' ve taught at every school in Muske- gon except two, she noted, But my real claim to fame during that time was earning a Masters Degree while having four young children at home; the youngest was only one year old. In 1961 Mrs. Nobes came to work at Orchard View. She devised the high school art program and initiated the annu- al Art Fair. She also set up the Middle School art room when the time came. When asked to reflect on her years at OV, she thoughtfully replied, Orchard View is a good school to work in; it ' s a school that reflects the times. I ' ve been fortunate to have had some terrific students in my classes here. After retirement Mrs. Nobes plans to do some flea mar- keting with her husband William, who retired from his job with the City of Muskegon four years ago. And I ' d like to do more painting, She added, Maybe take a painting class, and possibly travel a bit. I ' ll cotinue housecleaning and the necessary things, along with some volunteer work, but I ' m going to rest awhile too. If something great comes along — I ' ll just do it. (And that is what retirements all about.) Mrs. Quarto Mr. Joyce Quarto Mrs. Quarto has been a guidance counselor at OV for 23 years. Mrs. Quarto started her career in education as an elementary music teacher at Wolf Lake School. Music has always been important to her and after retiring this Spring, it will again be emphasized in her life. Mrs. Quarto will be organist at Our Lady of Grace Church. She will also be a substitute organist at other churches, and will play at wed- dings and funerals. I ' ve always played, she reminisced, I played funerals when I was only ten. In 1 962 and 1 963 Mrs. Quarto taught physical education at Jolman Elementary School and was also a guidance coun- selor there. In the fall of 1963 she began work at the high school. Mrs. Quarto ' s husband Nick has been retired from the Muskegon Intermediate School District for two years. They have three grown children and three grandchildren.
