To make this life worth while . . . We, as members of the 1952-53 Medinian staff and Junior class, are proud to dedicate this year ' s Medinian to Miss Nellie Clift. Miss Clift, one of our most respected teachers and the main- stay of our English department, is everything one could want in a teacher and friend. Firm but tactful, dogmatic but under- standing, helpful but fostering self-reliance, we feel that she will be fondly rememberd long after we leave the halls of M.H.S. 2 Nellie Clift 3 JhsL J ofL (Baoaa.
