On December 30, 1975, Sister Agnes Stauner left Dorchester to retire at St. Joseph’s Convent in Campbellsport. She had spent four and one-half years on the faculty at St. Louis Catholic School. Sister Agnes has been a member of the School Sisters of St. Francis for over 52 years. She received her education in such schools as Marquette in Milwaukee; University of Wisconsin, Madison; De Paul University, Chicago; Alverno College in Milwaukee; Chicago Normal School and Mount Mary College, Milwaukee. She held several degrees and certificates.

She was named an outstanding teacher while in Milwaukee, and last year was listed among the outstanding educators in the United States.

Sister Agnes spent most of her time teaching in large schools in the Chicago and Milwaukee areas. Before she retired she wanted to return to her home area to teach. Most of her relatives live in Medford or near that city.

She has served on the same faculty here at St. Louis School with her sister, Mrs. Leonard La Berge of Stetsonville, during these past four and one-half years.
