I am a few years late in seeing this, but I had Miss Phipps for sophomore and junior English and I'd she was instrumental in my love of English and writing that led me to a career in journalism for 30 years. Wish I had a chance to say thanks!

Miss Shirley was our neighbor for almost 10 yrs.
We have had a lot of good times together.
We had cook outs, and she loved homemade ice cream.
We met by her mail box, as she was leaning on her hockey stick.
She was good with it, she could pick up her newspaper and catch it by using the stick.
She was smart, out going, very giving, caring person.
She loved teaching, her kids were her life.
She also was devoted to her parents. She was a lady.
She enjoyed going to the senior center , and she loved her Ti Chi class.
She was a bird lover, she had so many facets to her.
We will miss her as a friend and part of our family..

Miss Phipps was the best English teacher I ever had! She loved teaching and was truly an inspiration to those of us who entered the teaching profession. A very elegant lady! I shall remember her always! Pat Hankins, Madison HS, Class of 1961
