Mrs. Ellington was a top notch typing teacher. We learned on the old manuals and some people could make those keys "zing!" Condolences to family members.

Mrs. Ellingson was my North Central High School typing teacher. I remember her as a popular educator. She was personable, kind, fair and humorous as well as a sharp dresser. I still recall her methods for learning the keyboard-some nearly 60 years later. Rest in Peace.
