IT is VERY FITTING that we should dedicate this, our Yearbook, to one of its founders-Miss Mildred White. Under her guidance, in 1926, the quarterly magazine The Clarion was transformed into Lynbrook High's hrst yearbook- The Green and Gold. Every year since then she has led the literary staffs with patience and cheer- fulness through hectic confusion. But it is not only as the guiding hand of the Yearbook that we know her: English 3 and 4 students have sat amazed at her knowledge, and have rocked at her droll humor. They have had a quiet, sympathetic friend always willing to listen to their problems and to help solve them. She received her A.B. from New York State College, and her MA. from the Bread Loaf School of English, Middlebury College. Miss White's inspiration will be one of our enduring memories of Lyn- brook High. 149' - Four
