Richard Clark, St. Mary's music teacher, is a graduate of Chadron St. College. He gained interest in music from a couple of teachers that inspired him by making his music classes fun and challenging. He credits his English teacher with giving him interest to become a teacher. He also enjoys working with the rest of the S.M. staff very much. He credits O'Neill with being the friendliest town in which he has lived.

Mr. Clark's hobbies include working on computers, walking, and taking pictures. His favorite movie is the "Blues Brothers". His favorite music artists are Roy Orbison, Chicago, Mozart, and the Eagles. Star Trek the Next Generation is his favorite TV show. George Orwell's 1984 is his favorite book.

That sums up a man that we have come to know as Mr. Clark.
