To You We Dedicate This Book, Miss Baker. Nina Baker In dedicating the 1960 Elyrian to Miss Baker, teach- er at E.H.S. from 1928 to 1959, we not only pay tribute to a distinguished career but to the spirit that has motiva- ted her work. The spirit may be called the pursuit of ex- cellence. And truly a pursuit it has been, for excellence has no limits, like Tennyson's ideal goal: . . . all but in Heaven Hovers The Gleamf' It was a light Miss Baker glimpsed early and has followed with unflagging purpose. A single line in a play was often rehearsed again and again, the drawing of a curtain in a climactic scene was practiced carefully, a just- right prop might be searched for all over town. But the finished product demonstrated the value of such attention to minute details. The many students who worked with her in the fifty- four plays she directed at E.H.S. and hundreds in her classes found the spirit contagious, and when they ex- perienced the pleasure of work well done, they felt the price was not too high to pay. Many students speak of the life-long interest in dra- matics her enthusiasm kindled and the respect for in- tegrity her attitudes inspired. Thus in dedicating this Elyrian to Miss Baker, we salute the pursuit of excellence with Tennyson's words: After it. follow it, Follow the Gleam.
