I received what I believe is a good enough education to get hired on at A.P.G. department of the Army. I retired in March 2008. ROBERT Stevenson Class of 1960.

Mergenthaler was excellent when I attended. I walked away with a broad level of education spanning from basic academics to detailed specialized program areas. My high school years were so much fun from Choir to tennis. I'll always remember Mr. Mullen, Choir Director in 1965.
