The Spenners, George W. and Della, have been important citizens here since 1944, when Mr. Spenner became Superintendent of the Guymon Schools. A Sixth Grade teacher, Mrs. Spenner was soon to become a valued member of the Elementary faculty. Dependable, painstaking, progressive, the Spenners have been instrumental in the development of a school system second to none in the High Plains area.
