Homecoming 2005 honored 1979 JMC grad, Connie Schultz, Pulitzer Prize winning columnist of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. In addition, JMC paid tribute to four Women of Distinction: Helen Westcott Dix, 1938 graduate; Fran Richardson, 1939; the late Marge McNab Block, 1939; and the late Fran Murphey, 1945.
