Ms. Lerch's personal likes
include cats, plants, playing
the harpsichord and watching

first impressions of a school

She said, "I have found High

campus where people go out of
their way to help you." Of
the campus itself she said,
"Tighacres is a very pretty
campus--but a very cold one."
We of the Collegian want
to welcome Ms. Lurch to our
