I am George Cox, General Science teacher. It's a real pleasure to greet you. I am a gradu- ate of West Virginia University with a B. S. degree, and a graduate of Arizona State Uni- versity with an M. A. degree. I am also an alumnus of SMHS, but quite a few years have elapsed since I graduated. I can vouch for the fact, however, that your years spent here are very important to you, and that you should endeavor to make every minute count. You'll never regret it. Good luck! Greetings! I am Mr. Paul Cox, Junior High Science, teacher at St. Marys High School. I am a graduate of Salem College. Part of my college work was done at WVU. In my spare time I enjoy cards, reading, and conversation. Baseball and football are my favorite sports. To be successful, the work you do today will not force you to work overtime tomorrow. Hello! I'm George Crawford, vocal music teacher at St. Marys High School. I'm a gradu- ate of Ohio University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. For relaxation I enjoy reading and choral composition. The thought for the day: To learn without being taught is a desirable trait or habit. The opposite; not so.
