Page 12 The 1924 TATLER OUR OUTLINE OF HISTORY History, as all Northrop girls know, begins With written records. As early as 1914 A. D., one eminent archaeologist claims, the Northrop Class of 1924 had entered history, for a TATLER of that year was found to include a list of the members of the primary department of Graham Hall in which several of our present class were named. There is little else known of this period for the reason that, according to historians, there was little proficiency in writing among the members of this ancient nation. There is no record of any development in the arts, in science, or in literature. But that was to come later, in that glorious and renowned period when the class of 1924 was mistress not of a mere world, but of Northrop School. The years passed, however tso to speakl. We progressed in literature, particularly in poetry, although we have no great epics. I should like to quote from two poems which well illustrate, I think, the state of civilization Which we had reached. The first, liFlowers and Sunshine, by that Sappho of the Primary Department, Miss Caroline Crosby, contains the following two lines, which are like those of no other poet the world has ever known: uNext comes the glowing honeysuckle, With its blossoms as bright as a buckle. 91 The second lyric, also on the subject of flowers, displays the quality of artful simplicity, as these lines show: uMy daisies too are yellow, I gave one to a fellow. The beginnings of the drama are found in our lifth year in a morality play entitled uPandora's Box, in which we impersonated various diseases. As it is not known who won the chariot race that closed the program, we cannot reckon that our first Olympiad. Our varied interests also included the writing of prose. One delightfully instructive article entitled iiA Visit to a Sawmill twhere the young author, Jane King, seems to have let nothing escape hery, appeared in the TATLER. The sixth year was one of the busiest in the life of the class. The sixth form history class presented HCoriolanus, and His Desertion of His Fellowmen. Coriolanus himself was portrayed by Grace Velie, his mother by Caroline Crosby, and the Chief of the Barbarians by Jane King. The French class, not to be outdone, offered Le Petit Chaperon Rouge. tWhat bright little girl knows what that meansD We all joined the Girl Scouts, forming the Ane- mone Troup. We entered the riding contest too, of which Lucy Winton car- ried off first place in the pony class. If a prize had been offered for the largest Page 13 The 1924 TATLER amount of knitting done for the soldiers, Louise Belden, or possibly Marjory Pomeroy, would have carried it 0E. The seventh form stands out in the memory of all concerned as the most bird-y and picnic-y of our history. We Were all members of the Audubon Society. We would bring our lunches, and take walks whose destination was too near the building to offer any great amount of exercise, or even an over- whelmingly fine view of the birds. We thought it quite as profitable to sit in the grass and eat while we waited for the birds to fly by, as to take the pains to go in search of the birds. However it must not be supposed that we didn't learn anything about our llllying friends, for we really learned much. We kept lists of great length, telling what kinds of birds we had seen and the date on which we had seen them. In this case it was the reverse of the proverb, for each girl sought to be early enough to get the first bird. The eighth year was, I am sure, the height of our career, since we never before nor afterward succeeded in being quite so tyrannical. The hobby of our class was the llstrike. It seemed almost as though we must have spent our week-ends planning these rebellious uprisings. This is the way they arose most of the time. Lucy would come tearing into the room in the morning before Mrs. Ruud had come upon the scene of action; she would be all out of breath; she would slam her books down on the desk, and shriek, NGirls, I'm so mad that I could just die! Do you realize that we aren't babies any longer? There is absolutely no sense. in this forcing us to take fancy dancing lessons! Who is going to get any good out of it anyway? We cer- tainly arenit going to be dancing our way through our examinations. Girls, welve just got to stick together and strike! I I I And as was inevitably the case, we struck. However, in spite of the fact that we were universally detested, towards the end of the year the rest of the school was forced to take an interest in us, when we performed in a patriotic play called uThe Declaration of Indepen- dence, for which Miss Radford had long been coaching us. We were all very much thrilled over this because we had real costumes and scenery! The main characters were: Louise Belden as Thomas Jefferson, Jane King as Paul Revere, ' Jinks Decker as Benjamin Franklin, and Berenice Adamson as Samuel Adams. However, Emma Poehler, as Captain Parker, although that part does not seem very important, deserves about four times as much credit as all the rest put together. First of all, she took the part of a thousand British soldiers, beside that of her regular character. One could easily hear the galloping of a whole regiment when she beat her hands upon her knees with a very convincing thump- ing. The next thing she did, which was much easier, but nevertheless decidedly Page 14 The 1924 TATLER important, was to begin the Revolutionary War! This simple little trick was performed by slamming a dictionary upon the floor, producing a noise which sounded like the first shot of Lexington. After Commencement Day we were unusually jovial as we realized that the great time had come, and we were no longer eighth graders, but Freshmen! The great day arrived. We were, rather to our disgust, arranged in neat order by Mrs. Menger. The thirty-live of us nearly filled room twenty-seven, which was our first home, as it is our last; we have returned here, like the business man in the movies Who comes back to the farm to end his days. In spite of being arranged a la index, we felt ourselves quite grown up. We appointed a committee to purchase class rings and class colors, which we wore thereafter prominently displayed at all the class games in which our bas- ketball team took part. tVee Clifford was on the sub team, one of those examples of a rise to fame from obscurityJ We were entertained by our elders at the Old Girls' Party for the New. One vivid recollection this historian has of seeing Ted Melone, as the bride in liLochinvar lone of the stuntsl , being lifted to the saddle of a Kiddie Kar, and borne blushing from the stage. We seem to have been shining lights, socially, for we were prominent in the Sopho- more Carnival, in which we managed the iiPenny Arcade, and revealed the mysteries of the liSwimming Matches and llNapoleon Crossing the Rhine to unsuspecting visitors. Louise Belden entertained us at a class party, whose fea- ture tof course excepting the refreshmentsy was a sort of silhouette pantomime. We were still rather young at heart, notwithstanding our social triumphs. Examinations made us feel very small indeed, in spite of our ability to recite Iluently, iipuella bona, puellae bonae, etc. The Juniors and Seniors, examined a few days before ourselves, were objects of sympathy. Jinks Decker remarked one day, Just think, Susan is taking an examination right now! in much the same tone she might have employed if Susan had been having her appendix removed in the next room. . We ourselves seemed to be able to pass examinations without any difli- culty, for we had four or five members of our class who marched up to the platform on Commencement Day, to be presented with roses, and the class as a whole moved on up the next step toward being Seniors. We were so large a class in our Sophomore year that Miss Sadley's room would not hold us all. Some accommodating girls who spent most of their time looking out of the window anyway, might have been willing to sit on the window-sills to save room, but we were torn apart, Mademoiselle Bagier under- taking to uadvisell a few of us. We still met each other now and then, how- ever, at our class meetings, frequently held. In these meetings, as each mem- Page 15 The 1924 TATLER ber of the class wished to talk all the time, we accomplished nothing startling, although we did accumulate quite a sum by the ten cents a week method. This year we attended the Subscription Dance in large numbers. Some of us, after long consultations with friends, appeared with our hair marcelled and done up. I trust that the school remembers us thus, marcelled and dressed up, dancing gracefully, rather than as placing an artificial, but terrifying, mouse before one of our teachers. a should add, for honestyls sake, that the teacher merely remarked, uTake that thing outIl' We had, from reading the comic papers, expected hysterics at least, and were quite disappointedd Our basketball team was a marvel. We were runners up in the Tourna- ment and were defeated by only one point. It was thought quite a feat for the youthful Sophomores to come so near winning the Tournament. We ourselves went around singing Hail the Sophs, the coming Seniors of the class of '24! to the tune of Clementine. tStrange as it may seem, our prophetic song was right and we are SeniorsJ By the end of the year we could chatter quite knowingly of the Helvetians tfrom which, by the way, one of the most beloved members of our class derives her nicknamey, and there was not a one of us who wouldnlt have recognized an ablative absolute if she met it in the darkest corner of the tortuous paths of HDe Bello Gallico. We could prove two triangles congruent under the most discouraging circumstances. In fact, we were beginning to show our education. Miss BroWn came from St. Marys to Northrop only to be confronted with the task of keeping an eye upon us, now the Junior class. If the former school is anything of what its name implies, the contrast must have been great, for in spite of our good intentions, we did not always remember to subside when the bell rang, and our chapel lines were always in danger of being last minute affairs. With an eye on the Senior Room, however, we began to attend to our manners, expecting the school to return in kind by regarding us as potential Seniors. I suppose that we must have studied that year, and I know that we went in for athletics, coming in a close second on the Athletic Cup. The one out- standing event in the memories of all the class, however, is the Junior-Senior. We began early in the year to discuss it, and before the spring was entirely over had arrived at some plan of action. During the week of Final Exams such members as had been fortunate enough to pass the Preliminaries spent their days pasting and snipping. Presently the floor of the little gym was entirely cov- ered with tape and scissors and paste, not to mention the strips of crepe paper, which were to llitter so airily above the crowded dance floor, charming the eye, and acting generally as all well-behaved decorations should. It must be admit- ted that they were not so beautiful spread out upon the red floor, which smelled Page 16 The 1924 TATLER very much like plasticine. After Mullin's Witching hand had fastened them to the beams and the walls were;adorned with climbing roses, the gymnasium was a vision of beauty. The Junibrs. too tired to dance with much ardor, were still pleased and even rather complacent over the work of their hands. We were sufliciently rested to hold the rods above the Seniors as they marched in on Commencement morning, and over the Alumnae as they marched out. Scarcely was this day over when the College Board extra session began. We took possession of the Senior Room, purchased our red ties, and began to learn how to be Seniors. The Senior Room we enjoyed the most of all, although the weather was too hot to allow much enthusiasm. Some clever class-mate suggested that we should bring an electric fan and let it run all sum- mer to cool oilr the room for the next fall! After an incredibly short summer we returned, again to be established in room 27. Before Christmas time we were in the possession of our nice tables and beautiful curtains, the envy of the school. We hope that results will show the atmosphere of our room conducive to study. There have beennumerous diversions this year, but we like to mention in , particular the May Day picnic that the Sophomores gave for us. We would print the menu were it not for the fact that the rest of the school would prob- ably descend on us in a passion of envy. We trust that they will be appeased at the Class Day entertainment, the exact nature of which we llare not at liberty to divulgef' Commencement comes along swiftly, leaving us alumnae. The Empire is fallen. Let us not say that she is overwhelmed by barbarians: such an asser- tion is not very complimentary to next year's Senior Class. Let us say rather that the Class of 1924 went forth, armed with its Northrop diploma, in search of new helds to conquer.

During January and February we played class games, which were arranged by Kate Velie and Coached by Miss Pease. As a result of these games the fol- lowing girls won places on the team: Dietz tcaptainL Carpenter, Seeley, Sudduth, Velie, Jewett-Taylor, Strong, and Woorward. To close the season we had a series of three games with the Seventh Form. In the first we scored 13 to O, in the second 13 to 1, and in the third 14 to 0. Although the Sevenths lost all the games, they showed good sportsmanship and a promise of developing a strong team for next year. THE EIGHTH FORM.

Every one expected the eighth grade to win, but we sevenths improved and had hopes of winning ourselves. At last the fateful day arrived. Our team had the nrst inning and oh! how set we were on winning that game! Unfor- tunately, so were the eighths, for they won with a score slightly larger than ours Gour- teen to ninel. The captain-ball season opened soon after Thanksgiving. We soon found, to our sor- row, that faculty meetings often occurred on the days we wished to practice. We man- aged to get in quite a few practices, however, and were ready for the fray when the games were played. There were three games, all of which the eighths won. The iirst score -was 13 to 0, the second 13 to 1. and the third was 14 to 0. Despite defeat we hope to put up a better showing next time El: SOUTH-SOCIETY On February 14 a group of happy girls gathered in the H ym . Every one was in the best of spirits, and took scuffed shoes as a matter of course when dancing. When the command was given to form a semi-circle, there was a general stampede. Calls of thanks and exclamation's of joy came next when the valentines were passed out. Both classes had ornamented boxes for the occa- sion. We, the Seventh grade, had also asked the teachers and most of them came. Re- freshments were then announced, and it was really a wonder that anyone got anything at all. No party seems complete without a favor dance, and when each Seventh grade girl presented an Eighth grade girl with a red cap on which odd hgures were fastened, every one agreed that they were having a jolly time. To end up the part, a ugrand right and left took place. The third and last time was over, and with a final cheer for Miss Boley, Miss Ferebee, and Miss Pease, who had helped to make the party a success. the girls left, a happy but rather footsore group. EASTaEDITORIAL POOR SNOWDRIFT! On the first of April a fierce battle raged behind the school. A drift directly in front of the back doors was the battle ground, and with the Sevenths on top and the Eighths at the bottom, snowballs flew rapidly about. It is true that the grades, in the course of the encounter, often changed places. When the bell rang, a crowd of white-coated girls trooped in. exchanging a snowball or so on the way; leaving the drift to find parts of itself on the doors, fence and shed, the greater part to melt inside the building. BLUE AND GOLD One afternoon a meeting was hastily called to decide on class colors. We thought ballot voting the best. so with many color combina- tions on the board, we started out. Vote one showed maroon and gold against blue and gold. Once more we voted, and. as most everyone knows, blue and gold won. Our ribbons were secured, and the girls went to the game with beating hearts. Although we lost, we hope to have many a victory, for Blue and Gold in the future. ht: WESTaJOKEs Freshman Ito the librarianl: Could I take Lorna Doone out over the week- end?

LOUISE BELDEN. Page 36 The 1924 TATLER The Athletic Association This year the Association has been slightly reorganized and put under a new point system. Last year was the flrst time the point system had been used, and, as tit was successful, it was decided to continue the use of this plan with some slight modifica- tions. The most important changes are the dividing of the Association into Junior and Senior divi- sions, and the working out of the point system in more detail and on a larger scale, so that an equal chance may be given to all students. In order to become a member of the present Athletic Association, one hun- dred points and a passing grade in all studies are necessary. Heretofore no award has been given for the earning of points. This year, however, it was decided to give an emblem, which the students were asked to design. The Athletic Council chose, from a number that were sub- mitted, that of Mary Atkinson. To obtain the complete emblem 325 points are required. HELEN CLIFFORD. A tLatinl Classic Romance There was once a charming young lady named Verbia, the joy of whose life was a small dog. She called him Accusative, be- cause he was the object of her affections. One sad day this little dog fell into the river. Verbia had a rather passive nature. and would not attempt to rescue him. She did, how- ever' scream in a very active voice, and in answer to her cries there appeared a young man, running so swiftly that there was no limit to his motion. He snatched Accusa- tive from the water, and, laying him on the ground attempted to parse him, applying alternately hot and cold prefixes to his head. His eITorts were in vain, however, for the little animal was dead. The hero turned to the weeping maiden. iiAllow me, he said, to take his place in your affection. I believe that we were made for each other. Indeed! she replied. i'I believe that there is some degree of difference of opinion. I Will not marry you. But stay! What is your name? Subjectus. And mine Verbia. I must now say that Page 38 you are right, for a verb must agree with its subject. Ablative absolutely! he murmered, as he clasped her to his heart. CAROLINE MERCER. The quantity of knowledge is not strained; It soaketh inaas gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath: it is twice blest: It blesses her that gives and her that takes. iTis mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes The haughty Senior better than her tie, And crowds of Eighth Form satelites, The attributes to awe and majesty, Wherein doth dwell such worthless adoration. Solicitous Parent: What makes those Seniors look so pale? Have they been ill? Envious Junior: Oh no. just a heavy at- tack of Senior Roomatism. The Summit Northrop Tea The bell rang! Doors were flung open, and girls, big girls. little girls, fat girls and thin girls, hurried through the balls with their armloads of.books. They chattered joyously. not because of the books, but because school was over for the day, they were allowed to talk in the hall unreprimanded, and they were to have a party. A comb run through short hair, a curl twisted, a hairpin fastened, a refractory tie. straightened, and the hostesses were ready for their guests. Clustered in groups about the windows they watched the cars stop in front of the school. and the girls of the Summit High School jump out. After the Summit faculty had arrived and the girls had been introduced to the same people at least five different times. all were ushered into the auditorium to hear a musical pro- gram given by Miss Grace Hodson Boutelle and Mr. Scott Woodworth. Miss Boutelle gave a short talk on each song, and then ac- companied Mr. Woodworth. Their program included English ballads and folk songs. Judging from the applause they were well received by teachers and pupils alike. Some of the favorites were 'iThe Wraggle Taggle Gypsies, HThe Voice of the Sea and Bor- der Ballads. After the music every one went up stairs for some light refreshments. The chairs in the auditorium were then pushed back for dancing, and though it was a trifle crowded, the bumping and jostling only added to the general gaiety. About hve o'clock the party broke up; and so we parted, Summit girls in one direction and Northrop students in another, hoping to meet again next year. DOROTHY BUCHANAN.

These seem rather ambitious desires, expensive presents even to so deserving a school. The Trustees prob- ably realize, however, that the demands have been only gratifying manifestations of our firm belief in their omnipotence. We realize how much they have given in the past, and these elevators are only dreams of luxuries which We know we do not need or even expect. There is, however, one gift which is not at all imaginary, though it be not concrete. It is a gift that the trustees have actually been giving us for many years. At this Christmas time we of the school wish to say to the Trustees that this, which we have so long been receiving in abundance is the one thing we demand in the future. We forget our swimming pool when it comes to the actual expression of our desire, and ask simply for a continuance of the Christmas spirit of good will, generosity, and genuine interest in our welfare which has ever been the most prey cious gift of the Trustees to Northrop School.
