jacuhy lgmonagfieri Physics really won't make your hair stand up. Does Mr. Kocher really know how the Devil looks? Being a member of the Shelbyville High School faculty certainly is not an easy job. In addition to regular classroom Work, teachers often go beyond the call of duty to help make SHS students better individuals. They devote many hours to such acti- vities as producing plays, sponsoring various clubs and organizations, or chaperoning dances. The stu- dents of SHS are indebted to the members of the faculty for their devoted interest in the leaders of tomorrow. Is it Hedda Simpson or Irene Hopper?
