        (A) what Mr. Haston teaches
        (B) where Ms. Pleacher went to school
        (C) who the four married teachers are, and

             Ms. Lowe all go swimming on Monday.

             University.
 
        3. Ms. Pleacher and the algebra teacher do needlepoint 
             together (You may assume none of the male teachers 
             needlepoint).

        4. The three single teachers teach algebra, geometry, 
              and Spanish.

        5. Mr. Gowdy, Ms. Cain, and the history teacher all 
              went to different Virginia schools (either

        6. Mr. Gowdy plays racquetball with Ms. Cain's husband.

              teacher, and the P.E. teacher all play tennis 
              together (You may assume Mr. Glossner is not 
              the chemistry or P.E. teacher).

        8. Ms. Pleacher and her husband often play bridge with 
              Mr. Frantz and his wife.

        9. When they were in college, Mr. Glossner and the 
              English teacher were good friends because their 
              schools were close together (in Charlottesville 
              and Harrisonburg, respectively).

       10. The P.E. teacher dislikes Wake Forest University 
              because it always beats his alma mater in

       11. Mr. Frantz, Ms. Pleacher, Ms. Cain, and the Clemson
              University graduate always participate in faculty
              volleyball.

       12. There are seven teachers - Ms. Cain, Ms. Lowe, 
              Ms. Pleacher, Mr. Haston, Mr. Gowdy, Mr. Glossner, 
              and Mr. Frantz.

       13. They each teach one of the following subjects - 
              Algebra, English, Chemistry, History, Spanish,
