Beckett of Dover, in honor of Miss
Amy Gardner, who is leaving the
state to teach in the Pennsylvania
State College. Miss Gardner, who has
taught the Adult Art Glasses here
for a number of years, has endeared
herself to many in our community.
One of the outstanding things has
been the appreciation of the beauti- |
full, the beauty of form, line and col |
or, and the encouragement for self |
expression along these lines. The |
creative spirit has been awakened in |
those who did not realize they pos
sessed any talent whatever. Many |
lovely things have been made for
their homes and will remain as

came here to board with Mrs. Eliza
beth White, where she was happy
and contented. Mrs. Leach to whom
she was devoted, visited her daily
to read to her and brought her the
flowers she loved, thus cheering and
comforting her while she lived in
the valloW of the shadow of blind
ness.
