She was one of 3 coeds that year and I believe that they all ended up in STEM type teaching positions. It was during the depression and she took the only teaching position available. She taught only for a limited time in a rural one room school I believe in Dillon. However, In the 1950’s she decided to go back into teaching now that we children were getting older and extra money for college would be nice. When she went to the Charleston WV Board of Education to apply for a teaching position they couldn’t believe that she was a walking STEM teacher long before STEM became popular. It turns out that she had the credits from her MSM education to be able to teach advanced math, chemistry, physics and biology. She taught algebra for a number of years before getting a masters degree in Guidance Counseling. Wick Doll ChE ’65
