Sweet, sweet teacher in room 222. We finally talked her into wearing her hair down, instead of a bun on top of her head. One of my favorite teachers at FTHS class of 1972.

Miss McQuiston,
You were my freshman English teacher and I always admired your patience and teaching abilities. You were a sweet lady and I am very saddened to hear the news of your passing. I will always remember you in your blue skirt, standing in front of the classroom, teaching us, the Class of 1992, proper English. Flora High School lost a great teacher when they lost you.
My Deepest Sympathy,
Jenny Hemrich

As a student at FTHS (Class of 1982), I took all of Ms. McQuiston's classes. She instilled a love of history in me early, and to this day I still have an inquisitive mind about anything historical. She was an excellent educator, and will truly be missed.
