. . .
Mrs. Edna Gering, former instructor in piano, and a widely known in this community, passed away after a seven month illness. There is scarcely a person in this community that has not felt Mrs. Gering's influence either as a teacher or friend. Her interest in the school will be absent from us but the spirit in which she taught and worked will remain forever.
