Probably the two most significant of these programs are her work with HIS Service Station board and her organizing and directing the Pack-A-Sack program....

Overview of 1908 to 1919: Students had been receiving an informal education in Staunton since the 1880’s.

In the early part of the century, the event consisted of two portions: oratory and track. While the oratorical portion, which took place in the morning, was the main feature, the majority of the focus will be on the spo...
