Miss Nicky One of the things which make Summit what it is to the senior class is a small gray-haired woman who glows warmth and understanding. For us and for all the other classes who have had Miss Nicky, she has added a quality of firm justice and cheerful companionship to the sometimes painful process of growing up. We all remember ANNE OF GREEN GABLES, our sixth grade bake safes, and the wonderful stories about Canada. fi? H But Miss Nicky did far, far more than simply entertain us. She made us all assume responsibil- ity. She ended our arguments, she soothed our hurt feelings, and she listened to our problems. Most of all, she prepared us to he good citizens and good students. There can he no doubt that we owe Miss Nicky a great deht. It is one which we can try to repay only with our sincerest affec- tion.

Summit is fortunate to have had for many years a teacher who has prohahly contrihuted as much as anyone to the school. Her teaching ahility is shown hy the large numher of Prix d'Honneur that she and her students have won. Also, as a result ot her superior teaching, many of lVlam'- selle's students have. passed the high require- ments of the Experiment in International Living and spent a wonderful and exciting summer in France. We have always heen given the incentive to study and learn French well. We have had the opportunity and challenge of reading the works of great French authors such as Voltaire and Rousseau. lVlam'selle's wonderful imagination has really made French interesting '-1 the little red hox to which we owe a penny for any mispro- nounced word, and the dunce cap which we don alter misusing penser. We have learned wonder- ful French songs and carols, memorized Carcas- sonne, given French quiz shows, and learned the Christmas story in French. Besides heing interested in her teaching, Mam' selle has always heen concerned with the welfare and adjustment of her girls. Many have come to her for advice, not only in regard to academic worlc, hut also for aid in personal prohlems. lVlam'selle has never filed to offer sound and wise counsel. As a result, she has many staunch friends who will always he grateful to her. There are some things for which we will al- ways rememher lVlam'selie. It would he impossi- hle to list them all here, hut a few are her ideas on American food, notahly hot dogs, sandwiches, and lcetchup in a hottleg her recounting to us some of the funny things that have happened to her and the accompanying facial expressions: and most of all, what a friend she has heen to us. Even when lVlam'selle has completed her role as a teacher, she will remain an integral part of Summit, for it is through her that much of the quality and tradition which malce up Summit have heen huilt. We shall always remember af- fectionately what lVlam'selle has done for us and for Summit. Mam,S8ll0 C is QVCQN of-.,gasoLf K Ctlfelck U' I Con-vrn. Zffff' O4 Qff can fi all cniitwz
