Title
Cubena McClure
Description
Cubena McClure began teaching in the IPS at Schools Nos. 24 and 26. She hosted the Sorority’s first initiation in her home following the December 1922 incorporation. She also assisted Nannie Mae Gahn in designing the Sorority’s pin. In 1923 she attended Butler College for one term. As her teaching career flourished, McClure received a Gregg Scholarship, dedicated to advancing professional training for recipients, from IPS. It was designated for use at Columbia University. She would not get the chance, however, as she died a few weeks after an operation for appendicitis in August 1924.
