W . Fishing in Florida next on sch edule Taking a break from short stories and gram- mar, Mr. Nolan Johnson retired after 25 years of teaching English. He had previously taught at Cambria Union High School in Wisconsin for four years, so his ear- ly retirement had been eagerly anticipated. Mr. Johnson planned a relaxing life for him and his wife as they had pur- chased a home in Florida some years earlier. We will move in August, buy a nice boat, and begin to do some serious fish- ing, he said. His years here were en- joyable. I'll miss the staff and students be- cause I believe they have kept me young fat heartl, he said. Coming here in the fall of l96l, Mr. Johnson found the school enroll- ment larger here. The moment l'll never forget was walking into my first study hall and finding more students in one room than we had in the whole school I had come from, he said. Always interested in students, Mr. Johnson for many years chaper- oned the choir trips. However, as the time neared for retirement, he was ready. The very best moment came this year when we signed our contract which allowed for early retirement, he said. --was-m..,,.,, M hu... ..-11 Alexander Seldon leams how to use the computer in his freshman Eng- lish class from Mr. Nolan Johnson.
