She graduated from Hurley High School in 1947 and was class valedictorian with a 4.0 GPA. Lucy excelled in business classes. Consequently, she was hired as a student employee in the principal/superintendent office. Upon graduation she was hired as the Hurley High School office secretary. Lucy’s career extended for 47 years, for Hurley and Cobre High Schools. She worked with 17 principals during this lengthy career. Lucy was definitely a Hurley and Cobre High School “icon”, especially for all the students who took “office” class.
