ployees during the summer.
Miss Myrtle Peters, Property Clerk,

C hem aw a adm inistrative staff for
approxim ately 40 years. Q uietly Miss
Peters w ent ab o u t her work, e n d e a r

low w orkers alike.
Mrs. V irginia W eigel w as the
former ninth g ra d e teacher. A lw ays

p le a sa n t for the students; Mrs. Wei-
gle enthusiastically a n d sincerely
did those things for w hich she is
rem em bered—giving a cheery smile
—a g lad g reeting—pursuing the d e
m ands of her position as teach er
a n d . adviser.
Both a re m issed b y all of us who
