The following two pages, after this introductory page, were written by Easton Historian, Hazel Varella. Her biography is at the end of this page.
The first is a brief summary of the names and history of teachers from the 1950 - 1960 time frame at Oliver Ames High School.
The section dated from 1960 - 1964 was written for a group of women who called themselves "The Town Spa Ladies". In November 2009, Hazel and Sue Rivard were invited to join these ladies at the Town Spa for a pizza lunch. In appreciation, she developed an additional section of teacher history for our class's four years at OAHS.
