GRADUATES AND FACULTY
(1886-1919)

“In characters of living light,
From kindly words and actions wrought:
And these, beyond the reach of time
Shall live immortal as my thought.”

     No history of a school would be complete without a word of recognition for the teachers. Like Tennyson’s brook, teachers come and go, but there are some whose influence goes on forever. Space will not permit the names of all the persons who have been employed in the school since its beginning.

     The list below does not profess to be complete, but does list the names of several teachers whose names will live long in the memory of the boys and girls who attended their classes.

Winifred McKibben 1908-1915
Jane McCormick 1908-1916
Nellie Mae Albaugh 1916-1929
Jessie Fawcett 1911-1928
Marjoire Crisman 1910-1936
