The First Oyster

Mrs. Cheever -  Though lacking a fancy education or an MA, Fisher describes her favorably because she was a cook. She was looked down on by her colleagues and she treated the nurse even worse. The nurse was seen as below even Mrs. Cheever. The new gym teacher, who would be assumed to be an outcast like Mrs. Cheever and the nurse, was even taken in by the other teachers and staff.
