She received her Bachelor of Science from OSC in 1941 in mathematics. During her time as a student, she had been employed by the mathematics department as a student reader, and as a part-time teacher in 1940-41. It was said that her “scholarship, teaching ability, personality, and character are all of the highest order.” In 1941, she was hired at $550 for a ten month term as a graduate assistant. In 1941, the next year, she was promoted to Acting Instructor and was given $500 for the winter term. Her full time employment continued through the rest of the year, eventually earning $1700 for the year. She was reappointed for the next year, earning $230 per month. In 1944, she married and took the surname Stauss. She took a leave of absence for a couple months to be with her husband in California. When another member of the department, Mr. Carman, was called to the army, she returned to take over his work, again earning $230 per month. She was a member of Delta Sigma Rho.
