Claire M. Nanis

Claire M. Nanis was a music teacher in the Billerica public schools from 1955 to 1961. A graduate of Lowell State Teachers College (B.S.E.), she was appointed in 1955 and is listed that year among the supervisors and special teachers as a teacher of music, and in 1956 and 1957 on the staff of the Howe Junior High School. In the fall of 1956 the superintendent reported that "at the junior high school Miss Claire Nanis has built a school band of over thirty pupils and she is continuing her regular music instruction in the junior and senior high schools," while student teachers from Lowell gave instrumental lessons in the lower grades. She was still on the staff in 1959 and resigned in 1961.
