I can remember 3 teachers of math and that was Miss Jayne, Ms. Dorothy Nestor (my mother-in-law), Ms. Taylor. Ms. Jayne was never married and had a sister, Ms. Jayne also never married, that taught English there also. Ms. Taylor I don't remember and Ms. Nestor was a short woman with almost black hair and glasses. If I get time I will check my yearbooks. Hope this helps. Sue 1971
