MEMORIES:  Remembering the staff and their concern for the students: Dean, Assistant Dean of Women,  dorm mothers,  curfews, and a class taught by Dr. Waldo Wasson on  his own time, so I could have all my 21 hours required for Speech Therapy; Mrs. Oge in Kindergarten Education with her criteria for perfection as we initiated the kindergarten program together; walking through the mud holes on our way to the bakery and music stores on the weekends; feeling embarrassed as I had to listen to all the comments made by the boys sitting outside by the post office on the way to the Tomain Tavern as we called the dinning hall.
