Some have been members of the teaching staff for several years, while others are be- ginning their professional careers here. NEW home economics teacher this year was Adabelle Mangas, a 1941 grad- uate of Ball State Teachers College. During Christmas vacation, Miss Man- gas was married to Mr. George Hill of Northwestern University. In February, Louise Jameson, vocal music supervisor, was married to Mr. William Reid, whom high school students recognize as the county attendance officer.
