Comments
“When I was a senior at Watertown [Massachusetts] High School, Mr. Van Keuren [of Van Keuren Manufacturing] sent a letter to the high school asking if there were any senior girls who were taking physics class,” Tolman said. “There were two of us. He offered us both a position at the company and I started at the end of April during my senior year.” Tolman, whose job at Van Keuren was to inspect copper wires, using a Light-Wave Micrometer, to make sure they met the precise shape and length, said she had more than enough credits to graduate high school. So, she left during her last few months of classwork and began working immediately, returning upon graduation day with the rest of her class of approximately 300 to accept her diploma. She loved her manufacturing job for many reasons, but the income was essential to her satisfaction.
