Memories of Western 1938

[Peggy]

  I enjoyed Virginia Wilkinson's memories of her experience of graduating from Western High School in 1938.  I do remember attending some of the same classes at Western, probaably English with  Dr. McPherson and also with Mrs. Scott.  I especially enjoyed the Music Dept. with Mrs. Sanders and the musical production, in Dec. 1937,"Up in the Air.  I took four years of Latin with Miss Duncan plus four years of Math with Miss Worthley.  With my friend, Natalie Gammon and Phyllis Demond , we joined the Chess Club and I was elected vice-president a "dubious honor".  It was fun and I felt I received a good education.  Later I graduated from Wilson Teachers College and became a teacher for 20 years.  I married John E. Hilton, from Michigan and we were married in Washington, D.C. on Dec. 21, l941.  We moved to Michigan, had four lovely children. and now 6 grandchildren and 4 great'grandchildren. Having retired from teaching after 20 years. I too will turn 87 in April and hope to continue living in my home, as my husband passed away in 2003 and my son last October.
