Mrs. Kelly was the second grade teacher, having taught at Stamford Central School for over eighteen years. She was a graduate in 1917 of Stamford Seminary and of The Training Class in 1928. She received her bachelor's degree from Oneonta State Teacher's College in 1948. She had always actively partic- ipated in community and school projects. She served as chairman of the Junior Red Cross, worked with the March of Dimes, and served diligently with our local Civil Defense program. The students at Stamford Central School will al- ways remember Mrs. Kelly for her interest and winning personality. She will be missed by her students and friends to whom she gave assistance, patient understanding, and consideration through- out her life. VIOLA PIERCE FREDIA KELLY We, the student body of Stamford Central School, wish to remember Mrs. Viola Pierce for her long and faithful service at Stamford Central School. Mrs. Pierce taught in the grades at Stam- ford for many years and in later years was a sub- stitute teacher as well as treasurer at Stamford Cen- tral School. Mrs. Pierce was President of the Missionary So- ciety of the First Presbyterian Church and an active member of the church. She lived in Stamford for 48 years and was born August 24, 1884 at Catskill. She was a familiar face to students and faculty and, we, the student body will remember her as a competent, willing, and devoted member of our staff at Stamford Central School.
