A 106-year-old central Ohio woman who completed
all her high school classes but didn't graduate
because a dispute over a book has long-last received
her high school diploma.
Reba Williams was presented with her diploma at her apartment in
Columbus on Wednesday in a jam-
packed ceremony that was nearly 88-years overdue,
the News Journal in Mansfield reports.
Mrs Williams has said she completed high school in
Mount Vernon but was denied her diploma because
she refused to read a final book assigned by a
teacher.
She says she hopes students realize
that learning is important and that they probably
shouldn't follow her example.
'If they expect to get any place in this world, they
have to learn,' she told the Journal.
