The Walla Walla Union Bulletin
(No date on clippings, but presumably late May or early June, 1955)
There is a picture, about 7" x 8" of three teachers; Miss Yates is standing.
LOWER LEFT -- Wa-Hi's math department has long been known as one of the
finest in the state. Helping to establish that enviable reputation have been
these three teachers, Mrs. Ruth Dunn, left, Miss Bess Kirk, who has been head
of the department, and Miss Mary K. Yates. The cameraman found them at a
"coffee break" during exam week. Mrs. Dunn, 821 Hobson Street, is a native
Walla Wallan, graduate of Wa-Hi and Whitman College and preceded her teaching
duties here with similar work in Sunnyside. She has two daughters, one in
Spokane and one in California, with whom she will be able to spend more time
now that teaching duties are over . . . Retirement for Miss Kirk,,, Shady Hill
apartments, means one less resident for Walla Walla. She's moving to Seattle
in two weeks to be near relatives. Born in Everett, Wash., she went through
high school there before going to the University of Minnesota. Her teaching
career, before she came to Wa-Hi 31 years ago, included experience in
Toppenish, Clarkston, and Honolulu, T.H. She belongs to A.A.U.W. and used to
be active in the B. and P.W. club . . . Miss Yates, who owns her own home at
320 Juniper, by virtue of her 34 years at Wa-Hi, has been "dean of the
faculty." Born in Milton-Freewater,, she attended grade school there and in
Pendleton,, finished high school at Wa-Hi, and was graduated from Washington
State College [Now Washington State University] as a home economics major
although most of her teaching has been in math. Her previous teaching jobs
were in Asotin and Milton. A member of the First Presbyterian Church and the
City Teachers Association, she also belongs to A.A.U.W. . . . . It's going to
be "nice not to be on schedule." Immediate plans call for a visit on the coast
and more time for her hobby -- photography, both in black and white and color.
