N Yorker has jauntily climbed the literary ladder of 1 success and now stands with one foot on the highest ii v rung. From this lofty position it surveys our com- - plex world with keen wit and a wise sense of pro- 9 portion, expressing its views in well-known edi- torials, stories, and cartoons. Because we admire its versatile sense of humor, its unerring good taste, and its conscience, frequently revealed as a creative force towards a better society, we have chosen The New Yorker as the theme of the l948 CHATHAMITE. We wish to express our gratitude to the staff of The New Yorker for giving us the use of its type face in making up many of our copy- heads, and for permitting us to quote liberally from its columns and to make an effort to imitate its inimitable style. To DR. EDMUND JENNINC-S LEE Whose confidence in us has been a source of stimulation, and who is responsible for so many of the ideals with which Chatham Hall has instilled us, we ajectionalely dedicate this book.

SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS President ......... ...... J OAN JEFFREY V iee President ,.,,,,, ....... J ANE Sci-:AFP Sponsor ,,..., ..... M iss Hour When the Class of 1948 leaves Chatham, they leave with the sincere wish that they could have lived up to the example and inspiration of the love, sympathy, and unfailing encouragement given by Miss Holt, Joan Jeffrey, and Jane Schaff. 23 SENIOR CLASS WILL The little man in the baggy olive uniform, obviously of the New York Sanitation Department and Park Commission, was lost in thought as he wandered along the asphalt paths, spiking bits of paper and trash with his stick. His mind most certainly was not on his job. As usual, he was ruminating on the prospects of ever becoming an archaeologist and leading an expedition to Egypt. In his imaginative exploration he almost missed the litter of papers under one of the benches. He was absentmindedly about to stuff it into the sack slung over his shoulder when curiosity got the better of him and he sat down to get a closer look. Clt was about time to rest anywayj It read:-- The Class of 1948, being of sound mind and possessing all its faculties, does hereby draw up a will for the benefit of those who gi , remain behind them that they may not be forgotten in years to come. s Simons leaves her cyah to the hikers to aid their wishful I ' W 1' thinking: and Bloedel, for good measure, leaves Caroline in the back seat with her foot on the clutch. M. A. and Margie leave Romeo and Juliet to the English Department, while K. leaves her Turkish robe to Miss Thomson for inspirational purposes. Gulliver refuses to part with her hair, but leaves her knitting to future woolgatherersg and Red Pennell, following suit, leaves her balls of wool to the biology kittens. Hy and Wurtele, the Toni Twins, leave their luxuriant curls to whoever will take them, and Kidde leaves what she leads with-her chin. Beasley hasn't left yet because she's still trying to pack her skirts. Robin leaves her writing on the wall with a cipher for Miss Stewartg and, while among the taller members of the Faculty, Mardy Palmer leaves her barking laugh to Miss Stafford. Fowler, not to be outdone, hastily leaves her cackle to Van Rensselaer. Plews leaves Bumble Boogie and Caledonia to Jane Ruffin to enhance her Mozart selection: and Happy Taylor, who never seems to finish her piece, has left already. Moonie has passed on her voluminous files on Gypping Gym to Hadley and Bovard, who are also getting Cropher's and Crouse's prized yo-yos. Dielle, one of the guiding lights of that famous organization, the A. C. A., leaves her sack dresses for future conventions. Stewie leaves her periscope to Centes and Toogie so that they can look through the transom without standing on the towel racks: and lVIacNichol, looking ahead to future emergencies, leaves her towel rack to Kay Fagerburg, so that a supply may be on hand at all times. Blum and Stallings leave their evil reputations to Nallea' and MacVeagh ', who are doing pretty well on their own, while Trig leaves her eye exercises to those who will study in the closet. 24 Teague leaves the Southern Railroad for Charlton to battle alone: and McGehee leaves Bruce to future Chatham House Parties. Somebody finally rang for Jean so she left. Baker leaves her quiet reserve to Anne Mott: and Cunningham follows suit, leaving her shl- bridge hands to Culbertson. Mary Fleming and M. A. leave the word to Mr. Webster, with the fond hopes that he may pass it on to Sim, Wads, and Hagner, thereby enriching their respective vocabularies. Dee Dee leaves her voice to C-wathmey and Fennelly, with the fond hopes that they some day join the Hit Parade. Jeff throws up her hands in despair and leaves the complete confusion in Senior Meetings to future class presidents. Farrelly leaves the music studio to the drafts, which Miss Andrus won't let in anyway. Mooch leaves the song cup brimming over for future Gershwins to attain. We tried to persuade Schaff and Goodman to leave ,their super legs to Nicky Nicholson but they refused. saying that tradition forced them to leave their posts as Hre- chiefs to Cliff and Randy. Lewis leaves her stocking caps to Polly Pack who knits them better anyway: and Poppy leaves her sponge man to Paula Polk. Lydgate deposits her broken tennis rackets with Pete because she knows he won't have enough to do. Franny Frost leaves her good nature to Anne Supplee who really doesn't need any more: and Garry, although she feels she will be left with absolutely nothing to do, leaves her perennial washing to the Chatham Laundry. Danny leaves her pore old nosey to Peggy Johnson to play ring-around-the-rosy with: while Gurdon leaves her wasp waist to Barbara Maude, the hipless wonder. Fitzgerald leaves her glasses to Miss Andrus. who could do with another pair: while Barby Burr leaves her debutante walk to Miss Eager. Ward leaves her best advice behind: and Bar Townsend leaves her Race Relations for someone else to run. Shirley Fleming and Andy had planned to leave Stale Stella but she was somehow lost in the scuflle, much to everyone's sorrow: however, Andy characteristically leaves the blame on Mame. Judy leaves her questioning nature to West so that she may carry on the good work: and P. J. leaves her last name to Deborah, whose last name also rhymes with Star. Macdonald leaves her Scotch blood to Ines Billwiller and feels it a very appropriate legacy. 25 Anno leaves her hair-twiddling to calm some nervous soul: while Clai leaves her spirituals to the utter confusion of the Devotional Department. Marsh leaves her fish to Penny Merritt. We begged Foxy to part with her little white hat, almost a landmark about school, but she declined, saying that she might possibly need it to cover a bald spot in her old age. Penny leaves her empty seat in Assembly to those who have had trouble with the collapsibility of the dining-room chairs. Kitty Coxe's innocent gaze passes on to wide-eyed Pat Barney: and Sandra leaves her long accustomed roles as hero to Julie Clark, in order that the plays at Chatham may continue to end happily. Lucy Landon Ruffin leaves her neat, precise signature from the upper right hand corners of the flyleaves of her immaculate books to the Christmas address list. And last but not least, Hilyard leaves her love to all. as as as The little man in the baggy olive uniform stopped reading. He stood up and started to fold it up to take home to show his wife, but the playful April breeze tore it out of his hand. The sheets of paper rose up, tossing in the bright sunlight, and then on a puff sailed over the hill. The little man sighed and watched the pieces disappear. can lac? cf Asset 26 THE CLOUDED CRYSTAL BALL Our society reporter got quite a shock last week when we sent him to cover a special assignment which proved to be the most hilarious social gathering of the season. The first notice we had of this party came from our Broadway correspondent, who called the office last Saturday morning to ask us whether we knew that the news flash on top of the Times Building had gone berserk. Since the Times is a rival publication, I said l wasn't surprised and what had given him the idea? Just their latest news, he'd said, cryptic signals nobody could understand, and a lot of commotion about Chatham Hall Class of '48 Reunion at Persian Room, all Biabews, Words, and Burdahs invited. I was slightly taken aback, but remembering my poise classes at Business School and the empty social column of the next issue, I called the society reporter and told him to cover the party and bring back the results. Dog! 1 0561 Well, it seems that when our man got to the Plaza, the party had already started on the sidewalk. The first arrivals of the Class of '48 were assembled around a Good- Humor man on the curb, much to the consternation of Bar Townsend, the doorman, and were hailing the ice cream vendor with wild shouts of Clara Mills! have you seen Miss Holt yet? . . . What have you done with Danny ? It was probably this familiar refer- ence to Joan Danforth, the Grande Dame of New York society, and this year's head of the Social Register that kept our reporter from making a speedy escape from this horde of females. Before he knew it, he was swept inside the Plaza by the Chathamites. There the guests were delayed for a moment when Nancy Fitzgerald got her fabulous hair caught in the revolving door, and Carol Cunningham, now head of the New York Fire Department, rushed up with her firemen to rescue her. Inside, our reporter was received by the hostess, Joan Jeffrey, who introduced him to his dinner partner, that Powers model, ,lean Carraci, who devoted her evening to ex- plaining to him the old Chatham Hall traditions and introducing him to her former class- 27 mates. Before he had met many of the belles of Chatham, however, the whole room was invaded with whoops and shrieks as six small boys rushed madly in among the party. They were Anne Stewart's small sons, whom their harassed mother had been forced to bring with her. It took the combined efforts of the hostess, our reporter, and Franny Frost, the hat-check girl, to round them up. When the confusion had subsided, our reporter was introduced to the other guests: the assistant hostesses, Lucy and Dee Dee, who are now joint heads of the Good Clean Fun Department of the U. N., and filled with enthusiasm for the new Secretary-General, Trygve Norstrand, who has only recently replaced Trygve Lie, Miss Mardy Palmer, who is known internationally as the voice behind James A. Fitzpatrick's Travel Talks, and those politically minded ladies, Anne Gulliver and Kitty Coxe, who were holding a heated Red rally on the dance floor. Before our reporter met any more Chathamites, a new contingent arrived, led by Andy Moore, who is now employed by Western Union as their Singing Telegram Boy. With her she brought Barbara Burr and Shirley Baker, those dignified Ofhcial Ushers for every event of major importance, and Gopher Hardin, who is currently touring the country lecturing on Merchant Seamen. Then, to the surprise of our reporter and the delight of the Chathamites, that new singing sensation, Garry Garretson, appeared as Hildegarde's successor, and, after a few torrid songs, joined the party. Before the cheers that greeted her had died down, the well-known Confederate yell echoed through the Plaza, and those rootin', tootin', shootin' stars of the Old West, Mary and Shirley Fleming and Doris Beasley, shot their way into the Persian Room. This lawless trio has just finished its latest Western, The Roar of the Cannon Ball. They had been expected to bring Anne Goodman and Happy Taylor with them, but Mary explained that Anne, after several years of apprenticeship, has developed her lung power for a full-time job on Broadway. She is now employed by the Camel Company to blow smoke rings through their billboard every Hve seconds. Happy, it appears, was last seen disappearing around the corner of 49th Street, chasing a thyroid pill. Shirley confided the news that Farrelly is still march- ing through Georgia after Sherman. if -t NA n Q Our reporter was pretty well convinced by this time that Chatham had the best of everything, but he had a wonderful shock when Joan Wurtele glided in, looking like the glamour girl that she is, with her gorgeous hair done by Margie of the Ritz. When Wurtele told him that Ward had given up Tennessee and retired to the North Pole as Mrs. Santa Claus, he knew he had seen and heard everything. Of particular interest to him were two girls who spent their evening in the corner of the room, gesticulating wildly and talking in seven different languages. On second glance, he realized that these two had been making headlines lately, and he needed no introduction to tell him that they were Robin Morris, who has just solved the Iranian oil question, and Virginia Plews, 28 who has recently received the Nobel Prize for her Condensed Education Pills. Three a day are equal to twenty-five hours of study. The next arrival was a shock to everyone. Whoever or whatever it was was dressed for should we say wrapped?D in a large flowered rug, bulky shoes which turned up at the toes, and a large enveloping sari. All conversation came to an abrupt halt. as the party stared. Then from the depths of the rug came Fowler's voice, saying, Splat! I thought we had to come as Persiansln As she was duly received and recognized by her friends, that laconic pair, Bloedel and Simons, came into the spotlight and did their famous mountaineers' act in the Persian Room. While the dinner was in full swing, the gorgeous brunette beside our reporter ex- plained to him that an old habit which she had picked up at Chatham had stayed with her. She now has the most exclusive collection of live parifers in captivity, volunteered Miss MacRae. Sandra, asked an elegant blonde across the table, soon to be identified as Anne Lydgate, the famous explorer and author of I Married a Headhunter, Where is Hy? Isn't she coming to the party? Don't know, replied Sandra. Last time I saw her, she was painting the toenails of all the statues in the art museum. She probably got too engrossed to leave. cya PNJSELJCL5 l Q? W fff ff IL 4 . , , C .Aga is .Wi Have you noticed the murals? Sandra asked, turning toward our reporter. The reason we decided to have the party here was because Mary Fox has done the Persian paintings on the walls! Our reporter wrote himself a mental note to tell the art reporter what he'd missed. ' Why, look at Jane, cried Lydgate. She's grown three inches! And, sure enough, towering across the room came Jane Schaff, the originator of the platform for short girls to give them that now-you-can-be-taller-than-your-dog look. She brought with her Marie Teague, who had just accomplished the feat of being lowered down a subway grate to retrieve a nickel. Janie was in a state of great confusion, for she had just realized that Judy Harvey must have locked herself in a locker at Penn Station. She hadn't been seen since she stood on top of the lockers to look for Jane. Teague reported that McCehee wouldn't be able to attend, for she is telephone operator at the University of Kentucky. Our reporter was informed that the music played at the party was composed by Margie Studdiford, who has just achieved new fame from her Broadway hit, Rowboat. And dancing to this fabulous music was the dance team of Arthur Murray and Poppy Zaug. In a late group arrived the last of the Class of '48, headed by Marsh, who is President of a new international Pudge Club. With her she brought Lewis, who is in 29 town this week playing at Forest Hillsg Nancy Crouse, who has altered her lifetime ambition to lit the machine age and is raising Flying Red Horses for Soconyg and Dielle Fleischmann, who has now replaced Sol Horok of the Ballet, and who proudly announced that Virginia Hilyard was her newest premiere danseusc. Our reporter told us that he had never hoped to see so many eminent ladies at one social gathering, but to his surprise Carol lVlacNichol, who raises argyle dahlias in Ohio, read off the list of those old '48ers who had been unable to reach New York for the Reunion. They were Red Pennell, Postmaster General of the United States: Anno Osborne, who raises hybrid canaries and didn't dare leave her latest batch of eggs: Aidan Macdonald, a miner in Pittsburghg K. Moffat, the author of the newest best-selling mystery, The Case of the Siamese Braceletg Gurdon Howells, who is busy every night at Coney Island, where she is employed as the Human Cannonball, Anne Williams, better known as Ballulah Tankhead, who is currently playing a three-weeks run in New Orleansg and Penny Kenney, who is operating a popcorn popper in the front hall of Pruden, with corn supplied by future Chathamite Boards. Only Blum and Moonie had not been heard from, and finally P. Ker remembered that the first thing they had planned to do after graduation was to sail around the Cape of Good Cod in search of . . . happiness. If the party had had an uneventful conclusion, it would still have been a memorable occasion, and our reporter might have written this article himself. But, as it is, he gave me the story over long distance, for he is now quarantined on Ellis Island. It seems that he was washed there by a tidal wave that ensued when those two incurable jokers, Stallings and Kidde, found an unused swimming-pool extension and flooded the Plaza. , ff fl! 7 QL!

Everybody finally meets everybody else at the water cooler VOLLEYBALL wmmm iwmmvu BHDMINTON Van-.siTY Rurmeauv Wmuea SPORTS OF 1948 We've all hearcl rhymes from ancient times About the knights of old. But know you the glory, the wondrous story Of the Purple and the Gold? Theirs is a tale that never grows stale And theirs is the will to win: Theirs is the fun of a match lost or won And theirs the chaotic din. If this you'd learn, to the past return For a moment or two with me. Perhaps, the spirit, or something near it, Of '48 you'll see. Can you remember a clay in September, Or is that forgotten lore? Two teams rushed out with a mighty shout And fought a tug-o'-war. The swimming meet, a spectacular feat, In October was begun. And Golden Rule domineerecl the pool: 'Twas lifty to fifty-one! Tobacco for sale! was the Colden wail, While the Purples panned their teachers. And I'll lay a bet that the latter got wet As they sat aghast in the bleachers. A week went by and with spirit high The Colds marched in to pay The victors' taxg with aching backs They ruecl that Hallowe'en Day. November soon came and with it a game Known as the tennis duel. With a cold wind crying and team banners flying That ball took a beating cruel. Across the net: a hard-fought set, And then another was scored. Lydgate and Kidde for Kydgate and Liddej Found it hard to beat Danforth and Ward. Bloedel and Carey of each other were wary On a winter's afternoon. Badminton their sport and a good report Of each was relayed soon. Silence reigned and neither deignecl To utter a single sound. The birdie flew, their shots were true . To Dusty went the crown. Willis was tense with growing suspense When the volleyball teams met there. Purple score rose high, but soon a tie Intensilied more the air. In the second round did the ball rebound, Over and back it sped. But gradually they all could see That again the Purples led. The Purples now stand with an upper hand, But that belongs to the past. The future may hold with the team of Gold, Or Purple luck may last. But whatever the score when the race is o'er, They both have played the game With the spirit high, of never say die. And therein lies their fame. 53 I RAISED EYEBROWS DEPARTMENT x 'vf QM, 3 E wwwmwwmw A E k .I GOINGS ON ABOUT TOWN A CONJCJENTIOUJ CALENDAR.

Your guess as to who won, but all survived the strangling and mugging. Suggestion: why doesn't the School purchase a football, legalize all the tactics normally used, and hold an annual Lemon Bowl Game? Then, maybe, two referees would be sufficient. 58 J an. J an. J an. Jan. Jan. Feb. Feb. Feb. Feb. Feb. Feb. Feb. 17, Sat.--The Seniors indulge in wholesale apple-polishing, and the Faculty show their capacity-to enjoy-our company!

Sleep seems to be the order of the morning fand much appreciated, and Chatham movies in the afternoon.

Roosevelt, the First Lady of the World. The School, on its best behavior, and the many visitors from town are greatly impressed by the account of her experiences as delegate to the organiza- tional meetings of the United Nations and as Chairman of the Committee for draw- ing up a Bill of Rights for the World,-and even the most ardent Republican is won over by her charm and sincerity. 15, Sun.-Late breakfast followed by meetings of the Service League Interest Groups.

The band is Bob Cleveland's, and the intermission entertainment is supplied by the Silver Tone Boys-both excellent. Too soon the tenth dance comes and goes, and we must say goodnight 'til it be morrow. Feb. 22, Sun.- Happy Birthday, dear George . . . The second half of dance weekend passes quickly and five o'clock finds the guests departing with fresh memories of Belles and Bells Feb. 28, Sat.-Mr. Chapple, well known in the world of music, entertains us with a lecture and recital skillfully combined.
