Margaret Bruce Napier was an instructor in English from 1946 to 1948. She was born in 1915, in Klamath Falls, Oregon. She received her Bachelor of Arts in English, with additional study in education and music, from the University of Oregon in 1937. She worked as a high school instructor and private tutor in various schools around Oregon for about 8 years. She had experience handling numerous clubs and organizations and taught a variety of subjects, including English, history, gym, and home economics. She was hired at $2,200 for ten months of service. She submitted her resignation in January of 1948, as her physical condition made it impossible for her to complete her duties as an instructor for the rest of the year. Because of decreased enrollment at OSC, it was not necessarily to immediately replace her.
