To Miss Clara B. Smallidge the Aurora staff of l939 sincerely dedicates this annual. An ardent Worker for the school and its students, Miss Smallidge personally exemplifies the loyalty, democracy, and tolerance which We Americans like to think We all possess. While most students in her classes have ancestors who entered America by Way of Ellis lsland, Miss Smallidge can boast of ancestors, natives of England, who landed on Plymouth Rock. One of her ancestors owned the first hardware store in Boston, and another, William Whipple, signed the Declaration of Independ- ence, proof that she belongs to American aristocracy not only in spirit, but also in ancestry. Miss Srnallidge has acted as president of the P.-T.A., corresponding secretary of the Community Council, adviser of the sophomore and junior classes, Press Club adviser, and publicity agent for the school. lt has been the privilege of Union students since l923 to have Miss Smallidge, true American that she is, as a member ,of the high school faculty.
