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
