XXL-EIWWQ IWHWSXXEU EAXX j f7Vw1nzcy . gwcgfnight AN APPRECIATION Miss Nancy J. McKnight, who retired from the Western Faculty in June, 1930, came into the service in the early years of the present Western High School. A graduate of- Wellesley College, she had had experience in teaching in New York City and in Oxford, Ohio. In her long career, Miss McKnight's contributions to Western and to the school system were varied and valuable. In her classes, a love of her subject, Mathematics, joined to a command of clear exposition, made her teaching real art. Her perfect clarity and great patience resulted in unusual success in her classes. The highest tributes are paid to the rare quality of her work by return- ing Alumni whose later experience has perfected their realization of its value as a foundation for their study of higher Mathematics. Miss McKnight had a keen sense of justice and a sincere desire for the highest good of her pupils. Many improvements in school administration throughout the system are due to Miss McKnight's initiative, clear thinking and patient effort. ' Love of justice, unfailing courtesy and ready sympathy marked her rela- tions with her colleagues. In every phase of her life at Western, in school organizations as member and officer, and in the community, Miss McKnight rendered valuable service. Her fine scholarship, rare personality and high character have left a lasting im- press on us all. May many rich years of leisure be hers! Nineteen
