Abstract:
A veteran McDonald teacher and former president of the Ohio Education Association received her master's degree in education Saturday from YSU. For Sally Martin Savage, busy teaching and raising a family, it was 22 years of extra effort. When she received her first degree from YSU in 1959, a bachelor's degree in elementary education, she was honored as the first Rayen family descendant to graduate from what was then Youngstown University. Six cadets in YSU's ROTC, four of them women, were commissioned during commencement ceremonies at the university. During ceremonies on the campus, Marine Corps Reserve Capt. Russell L. Drylie pinned second lieutenant bars on his wife, Kathy, while Army Staff Sgt. Albert A. Thurman did the honors for his wife, Esther, after both young women completed the university's ROTC program.
