Ellen Harvey

Miss Harvey inspired me to become a teacher! Her zest for life and her students created contagious enthusiasm for all who knew her. She introduced me (and other 10th graders) to a whole new world...live THEATRE! She helped to mold her students to really believe in themselves. Speech and debate was a wonderful exerience with her constant encouragement! We all loved her! she was a Master Teacher, a great role model and a friend to all who knew her. I will remember "Beauty" fondly!

She was an inspirational teacher and dear woman!

I will miss being able to contact Ellen when I visit Battle Creek...I have known her and became good friends over the years since FIRST meeting her back in 1959 when I was a student at LHS. Ellen always had an enthusiasm for everything she did, loved her students, and loved the Lord. She will be greatly missed by a lot of folks! Kay Roberts (Cooper)
