 hough Pierson and Miss Bainter have reached the mandatory retirement age of 70,
Miss Hill is stepping down under provisions of early retirement. After receiving her bachelor's degree from UW-SP, Miss
Hill taught at high schools in Green Lake and Eagle River and then went into UW Extension work as a home agent for Clark
County based in Neillsville and Pierce County in Ellsworth. She advanced to the post of assistant state 4-H leader with
headquarters in Madison. Among her responsibilities was the total 4-H music program in Wisconsin.
She went on for advanced study at Columbia University in New York City and returned to Ashland, her hometown, after her
father died and taught at the high school there for three years before accepting a post at UW-SP in 1956.
Miss Hill enjoys painting and sewing, and in spending more time working in watercolor after being in an Elderhostel program
this summer at Northland College in Ashland.
As a clothing specialist, she leaves her classroom with some predictions about the kinds of attire seen on people of the
future. Because of skyrocketing costs of clothing, brought on partially because of increases in petroleum which is used in
synthetic materials, men and women alike will be doing more of their own sewing. That will result in more plain
styles.
And, as the world is forced into turning down its thermostat during winters, she predicts that people will compensate
by wearing more textured and bulky clothing.
Since she was honored at a party by her teaching colleagues in the School of Home Economics, she has no worries about
staying warm. Each of her co-professors designed a large square signifying some aspect of her life, and they formed the
patches into a large quilt as a going-away present.
