Dear Alice (Part 5): 1936 Nanuet, New York Autograph Book (cont)

| Hits: 3166

This entry is a little exciting because I found information about Alice's teacher, Miss Gunhild Swanson, who signed this particular entry. The April 24, 1958 issue of The Orangetown Telegram ran an ad about the retirement of two teachers.

"Former Pupils to Help With Nanuet Teachers' Dinner An organizational committee met last week to plan the distribution of tickets for the testimonial dinner honoring Nanuet's retiring teachers, Miss Dorothy Prentice and Miss Gunhild Swanson," .

The organizers were trying to get representatives from as far back as 1923, even though all former students, parents, and friends, could purchase tickets to attend the retirement ceremony. The two teachers were retiring in 1958 after 35 years of service.The article listed many of Swanson's former students yet, Alice's identity remains a mystery. To read the full article click on the above link, the access to the newspaper is provided by Fultonhistory.com. Best! History Keeper 16 June 2015

PS: For those of you following the "Dear Alice" series, I would like to suggest you take a look at Nanuet: The flawed jewel of the Hudson lowlands. Pictures of the school and her teachers, plus wonderful Nanuet anecdotes are shared on Daniel Silverman's website. HK 30 June 2015
