Ed. from Oklahoma University.

She spends countless hours working with her journalism class on the Wildcat's Howl, at- tempting to read all books reported on by her students Cin so do- ing she keeps herself well readl, and making out tests which she thoroughly enjoys if she thinks she has created one that will bring feigned sighs of despair from her class.

Years of patient service as sponsor of the Girl Reserves has made Miss Geith remembered by her students.
