At the Sudbury recital of 1957, Nancy’s Advanced students presented a work titled “The Sorcerer”. Standing at the back as the Sorcerer is Tini Pel. Pel would continue Nancy’s work founding the Sudbury Arts Guild and the Nickel Belt Ballet Company.

Nancy Lima Dent 108a, b was folded in half and wrapped around items 109 to 114

The front of the clipping is in English but the back is in a Slavic language so both were copied in case the back text gives clues to the paper’s origin, dated 1956 in pen on the front

Nancy Lima Dent 121a, b, c
The front and back of this 8.5x14 sheet were clearly a house program but the inside had no program information and Nancy had used it to type up notes about classes.

Item e was folded in half and inserted into the program

The reverse side (b) appears to be a part of a report though the rest of the report is not in her files

These are all in a subfolder marked “Teaching Notes, Sudbury and Garson, 1955-1957”. Some of them were written or typed on the backs of recycled paper but if the information on the back was career related, I scanned both sides. That’s why you will see numbers with a and b on them and yet the scans will seem unrelated.
