45? NANETTE LANCASTE R CHARLOTTE N. KINNIUS DEDICA TION Seldom has a life been so completely and unselfishly dedicated to the service of a school as hers. Energetic, alert and interested in many fields, she understood well the needs of groping students and vitally influenced the senior girls, always urging them to uphold her own high stan- dards. Our annual spring plays, which she pre- sented so remarkably, added much to our enter- tainment and culture. Such is Miss Nanette Lancaster. Having come from Fosdick-Masten and hav- ing been with us for only three short years, she has nevertheless become an integral part of our school and an inspiration to the senior girls whom she guided. Always helpful, always under- standing, mild-mannered yet firm, she taught us effectively, while her enthusiasm for her sub- ject was such that the delight of English was carried across even to the most unfeeling of us. Such is Miss Charlott Kinnius. So it is that now on the occasion of their departure from our school, with heartfelt gratitude, we humbly dedicate this volume to two great teachers.
