Dorothy Heying's former students remember her as the sort of teacher who would buy a comic book version of Moby Dick to pique their interest in the novel.

For the first time in 30 years, Dorothy Heying stood before a class at Hermann High, and this time around, it was standing-room only. A crowd of about 50 of Heying’s former students gathered at the high school to help celebrate their former teacher’s 100th birthday.
She will officially join the centenarian club on Saturday, Dec. 5. An open house party is planned in her honor at the United Methodist Church in Hermann starting at 2 p.m.
