Her teaching career began at Cumberland Town- ship from 1916 to 1917. Then followed positions at Monongahela Township from 1917 to 1921, at White Ash Consolidated Schools and Eden Valley Consol- idated Schools in North Dakota from 1921 to 1923, and again at Cumberland Township from 1925 to 1927, at Monongahela Township from 1927 to 1932 and again from 1936 to 1948.

In addi- tion to her regular school services, Mrs. Crago spon- sored the first 4-H Club in Monongahela Township and the National Honorary Society also in Mononga- hela Township. She became a director of the Flenniken Memorial Library at the time of its charter. Our local PTA gave her an honorary life membership, the first in this county. At one time she served as the Greene County representative of the Board of Directors for California State Teachers College Alumni Association. To what extent her influence is being felt or will be felt no one will ever know—so many have been influenced and guided by her. May one of her biggest satisfactions be knowing that she has given her best and that because of her, part of this world is a better place. To you, Mrs. Crago, we wish to express our sincere thanks for your help and your interest in each one of us. May your retirement be all that you want it to be. 3
