Mrs. Quaintance was a forward thinking visionary in Bucyrus in the early 1900s, and her plans for improving the health, diet, and education of the children of Bucyrus continue today. An active contributor to the civic committee of the Federated Women' Clubs, she pushed higher sanitary standards for local food suppliers, as well as campaigning for regular physical checkups for schoolchildren. She foresaw the need for city parks for recreation, and even the idea of bringing the YMCA to Bucyrus. Mrs. Quaintance also made the planning of a modern high school a priority.
