PATCHES '68 is inscribed to Miss Geral- dine Petersen, who has for twenty years inspired her students With her dynamic and creative approach to Art and has endeared herself to our school through her Warmth and sincerity. Not only does Miss Petersen have an out- standing reputation in our school, but also she has been honored many times by the public and by leaders in her field. Before enrolling at N.Y.U., Miss Petersen worked in defense plants and served as a W.A.C. during World War ll. She received both her B.A. CCum Laudel and her Masters degree from N.Y.U. Since that time, she has exhibited in the Laurel Gallery, the Koltler Gallery, the Riverside Museum, and the National Academy of Design, She has been highlighted in feature articles in GLAMOUR, SEVENTEEN, HIGHWAYS, and A.V. NA- TIONAL MAGAZINE. Miss Petersen, a ver- satile and energetic Woman, serves as Chairman of our Art Department and has also taught courses in Art Appreciation for the Adult Education Department and for the teachers of District l4. On behalf of the entire school, the Patches staff dedicates our yearbook to Miss Geral- dine Petersen, in gratitude and esteem for twenty years of inspiration. lt is particularly appropriate that we dedicate to her this issue, which acclaims color in our school. For it is Miss Petersen, above all others, who has striven to enhance our lives with color - not just color in its physical manifesta- tions, but the color of her warmth, her vitality, and her creativity. What Miss Geraldine Petersen has actually been to many inspired, newly-awakened students is the COLOR IN OUR SCHOOL.
