7 Memoriam To those who knew Pat Spencer only slightly her striking looks and infectious laughter were her out- standing characteristics. She had so much vitality that it was impossible not to notice her presence in a room. Pat was always contributing, whether it was to some Class X project, the dinner-table conversation, or just talk on the third ell. Beneath her merriment was an amazing kind- ness that was constantly revealed, especially to the girls living on her corridor. She also had a flippant remark to “knock you out” of your bad mood, or a genuinely kind comment. The girls who knew Pat well realize that it is impossible -to put her qualities into words.

Dedication We of the class of ’42 wish to dedicate this book to Miss Brinsmade. Miss Brinsmade is, in a way, what we have hoped to make this book,—a real part of school life, everyday, actual. Miss Brinsmade is representative of the things in school that seem in the long run much more important than what is in books. She is friendliness in every possible way to- wards our class, in interest and guiding advice: toward the staff of this Annual, in the hours of her time which she has given with ceaseless generosity; and toward individuals in the class, with understanding and kind- ness which make her inexpressibly close, and certainly an inspiration to us all. To the Class of ’42 the dedication of this book to Miss Brinsmade is only a symbol of what we feel and can never express.
