They have retired from active teaching after this year, but their work shall go on to conquer the unknown. Shown in the pictures at the right and y above is Mrs. Ellen Tiemeyer. She l spent her life living in and serving the Rock Port area. Even after many years, her students look back upon her as a sort of mother. Miss Anna Proudfit, shown at left and below, has been known to her students for years as simply Miss Anna. Her dedication has spanned the teaching of fathers and sons.
