That, perhaps, best expresses the general feeling for the softrspoken anlish teacher, a veteran of 39 years of experience. Miss Miller was a member of the Jefferson faculty for 22 years and taught English on all three levelsl She also taught some classes in Latin Shc- has helped to guide academic development by working on three English curriculum guides. Fond of her students and highly sympathetic with them, Miss Miller has been a professional teacher in the true sense of the word.
