Many under her now have children attending the est during the twenty-four of the people who studied schoolgu and two, Miss Blanche Lancey and Hiss Willa Harley, are teachers in the Center School. Although Miss Estabrook taught in manv different schools during her career, among them Fitchburg, Randolph, Vt., and Gardner, she spent her happiest years in Lunenburg, her home town, where she nas a teacher of History, French, and English from l899 to 1918. She took part in many of thc activities of the town, especially the Christian Endeavor, the Grange, and the Woman's Club, of which she was a char- ter member.

What is now the Center School was thc high school building, and there were only two teachers, instead of the eleven we nowfhave. Yet despite the school's ancefoccurred during her career.

Kempton. many of the townspeople, went to We small size,many events of import- on a trip to Boston and Plymouth, The Class of 1917, encouraged by shington D. C., in their senior year. The High School was granted the right to certify pupils to Worcester Polytechnic Institute, l rgely because of the records of George Gilckccst, ako entered th institute in 1938, and John E.

Five public debates with Townsend High were held, Lunenburg winning four. It was while Miss Estabrook taught here that the forerunner of the present assembly period was instituted in the form of a weekly club period. It was also the custom for the Senior Class to put on an entertainment each year, and this has resulted in the present day Senior Class Play, one of the most important school functions. As a token of its admiration for Miss Estabrook, the Lunenburg Woman's Club presents a yearly prize in her honor to the member of the Junior Class who makes the greatest progress in English. In this way, the Woman's Club rewards her interest and devotion toward the school and its past and present pupils. Now in her eighty-first year, Miss Estabrook expresses apprecia- tion to the nEchou staff for its welcome into Lunenburg High School as it is today. With special admiration for the various progressive activities, sho wishes all--Bon Voyage. ' 7 1
