Liz Renner Saalfeld, Class of1954



I had a number of teachers that I really liked. In grade school, my 4th grade teacher, Mrs. Cobble. I had been diagnosed with diabetes at the end of 3rd grade and Mrs. Cobble let me be a student instead of hovering over me. In high school, I liked my chemistry teacher, Mr. Blumberg, junior English teacher, Miss Inez Smith and Latin teacher, Miss Krueger.

Miss Smith made the English poets --Browning, Wordsworth and Keats, etc. --come alive and I learned to love poetry. Under Miss Krueger, I learned the importance of Latin and still think it is a necessary course so one can learn how to write, spell and speak correctly and figure out the meaning of words from Latin prefixes and suffixes.

I graduated in May, 1954 and was valedictorian.
