Mavis Jividen directs the church choir and is a true prima donna. Phyllis Moore became a grade school teacher; her prize pupils during her years of teaching were the Ranson triplets—their mother, of course, was none other than our own Betty Mollohan. Petite Frances Fauver surprised every- one and became Nitro’s first woman mayor. Helen Sue Boggess also surprised everyone by becoming a congresswoman, the most glamorous since Clare Booth Luce.
