My teaching career began as a replacement for Mr. Smithers, who was then a Junior High School Chorus and General Music teacher!

However at the time, such matters as prompt sign-in and reactions to non-musical orders could often take precedence over ability and results, and he was released of his duties. Had he and the school administration worked in accord, my life would certainly have taken a different turn! Boxed Philips Stereo Set 699 9003. 4LPs. $12.00. 290 LP - INSTRUMENTAL WORKS 5235. Sir dir.
