31 n illemnrittm MISS KATHERINE NEIDORF A Tribute In the passing last June of Miss Katherine Niedorf the school lost a friend whose loyalty and devotion to the highest standards of her profession were recog- nized by supervisors, students and fellow teachers alike. She gave of time and talents with lavish hand. Her influence on the daily lives of her classes will live on to work her purpose thru the years. Katherine Niedorf had ideals. Her earnestness and zeal in translating them into realties made her a force in the classroom and the community. One exam le out of many was her constant efforts to instill a true appreciation of peace and, a hatred for war. She took seriously the appeal of leading educators to make this growing generation peace conscious. In this, as indeed in all things, her attitude was practical. The goal she sought was to be the heritage of the wise, the brave, the willing to defend. We miss her splendid spirit, her prompt and loyal support, but the line example of the teacher seeking ever to lead her students to higher levels of char- acter and culture is a vital living contribution to the best objectives of education.

Spotlights Our cue has been given, and we resolutely enter upon the stage of life. In front of us is a sea of expectant and critical faces, awaiting our perform- ance. Awkwardly and uncertain, we stand in the spotlight, about to play our individual roles. Faced with the responsibility, our very lines become a challenge. The spotlight continues to shine, reveal- ing courage in our eyes and, at the same time, warm- ing our hearts with confidence as we look hopefully toward a shining success.
