Girl Never Attended School But She Will Graduate


Miss Kathryn May Stumpf, 19, never had attended school in her life but she is a member of the graduating class of Minford High School, near here, and she has made unusually high grades in all her studies, teachers report.

Miss Stumpf, made an invalid in childhood by infantile paralysis, for years has adhered strictly to a schedule of study from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily. At 3 p.m. a tutor comes to hear her recite for an hour and a half.
