Sister Mary Consuelo Torres R.S.M. contributed greatly to the educational system and her community, but one cannot forget her younger brother Mr. Uvaldemir Torres, Sr., better known as ‘Mimi’. One can say he followed in her footsteps. He devoted about thirty years of his life to the teaching profession. Mr. Mimi started teaching in 1954, the second year of Muffles College’s existence. In 1955 he became principal of Muffles College. He left this post in 1966 to further his studies in the United States of America. In 1969 he re-entered the teaching profession. He is a man of great knowledge. During his time as a teacher he taught subjects such as English, Spanish, Latin, Religion, Public Speaking, Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry and History. His knowledge was acquired through correspondence courses. He never majored in any particular subject. One could say he is “jack of all and master of all”.
