Terrific stuff:

Eleanor Benz left Chicago Public Schools' Lake View High in 1936 during her senior year to take a job. Over the following decades she moved to Gurnee and had 15 children, 54 grandchildren and 37 great-grandchildren.

She told her kids recently that not finishing high school was a long-time regret and they contacted Lake View High and made it happen.

Good kids.
