LUDDY Patience, understanding, and a winning smile are only a few of the many commendable qualities of Miss Luddy, one of our favorite English teachers. Aside from metaphors and MacBeth, Miss Luddy takes a special interest in music, good shows, cooking, and travelling. She has been in Canada, Florida, California, Bermuda, Havana, Cuba, and a number of other interesting places. Miss Luddy was graduated from the College of New Rochelle in New York, where she received a Bachelor of Arts degree. Since then, she has taught English here at Wilby. And so it is with deep pride and a warm sense of appreciation for her untiring efforts, that we, the Class of 1951, dedicate our classbook to Miss Maureen M. Luddy. FACULTY James E. Moran Ambrose G.
