,THE 1925 TATLER GREETINGS FROM MISS CARSE T0 the Stayy: Ten years ago high ideals were announced for the new school to which President Northiop gave his name. The public has always looked to us to hold the standard high. Each membe1 0f the Faculty has been given an almost sacred trust in relation to students, parents, and the public at large. Without the loyalty and efficient service of all, Northrop could not be as we love to think of it today. Pelhaps at this time we should especially mention those who have finished from seven to ten years of se1vice during the formative period of organization: Miss Marzolf, Miss Thompson, Miss Brewer, Mlle. Bagier, Miss Boley, and Mrs. Coe, in order of appointment; and those who have given five or six years: Miss Sadley, Miss Tupper, Miss Keel, Miss Witbeck, and Miss Larawa; also those whose service covers three and four years: Miss Walker, Miss Pease, Miss Eleanor Blown, Miss Ferebee, Miss Rose, Miss Svenddal, and Miss Nelson. Nor should we forget that under the inadequate conditions of the old building, and the new adjustments in 0111 present school home, it was Mr. Peter Mullen who contributed to 0m safety and comfort hoh. T0 the Girls: It is you, dear Girls, by whom the school is known and judged. You stand forth as results. A teachers task is intangible, and the rewards are to be found in high quality of mind and character which have been developed or strengthened under her guidance. We love to see you happy in the things that are ;honest, true and lovely? and to feel that you are making our school represent iiwomanhood in all its beauty, virtuous, true and strong. T0 the Parents: And after all we turn to you as the source of our endeavor. These are your girls whom you ask us to train and help you guide into a fine womanhood. How close should be the union among us, parents, students, and teachers. And such union is growing closer each year. In this I feel the true progress of the school is shown. Nothing we can ever give these girls of ours will be equal to the best school environment and influence we can give them from babyhood until they are eighteen. If by that time we develop in our girls the will to do what is right,-I believe they will stand the test through life. Let us, my friends, start another ten years, working for, and with our children. To the Trustees: When a group of representative men of Minneapolis met in August. 1914, to consider the establishment of a school for their daughters, as they had already done for their sons, they did not perhaps plan for the larger Northrop that has brought with its growth inevitable responsi- bilities. These responsibilities they have met in full measure, as we can amply testify. The changes in the personnel of the Board have brought to the counsels of the school, not only a changing representation of parents, but also the best trained ability and loyalty of out- standing citizens of Minneapolis. Through all vicissitudes there have been two unfailing supporte1s,l M1. John Crosby, President and Mr. Charles D. Velie, Vice- president. To their wisdom and faithfulness through ten years we owe more than can be expressed in these few inadequate wo1ds. Nine

THE 1925 TATLER No anniversary message would seem to be complete without some reminiscences. It is im- possible, however, to relate in one short paragraph the many.happy memories which we have of Northrop. How can I tell of the stimulating teaching and direction which we knew; of the mental and moral growth that was their result? I have no room to speak of the friend- ships we formed, the various activities in which we were interested, the pleasures that were ours. Particularly I can not express our love for the schoolwthe girls, the faculty, and her whom we knew to be the most influential in making it the Northrop we loved. Although we may never be able, in innumerable paragraphs, to tell our feeling for Northrop, we, the Class of 1924, learning of this anniversary Tatler, and of its fitting dedication to' Miss Carse, can, and do, send our best wishes to the Tatler, and our love and congratulations to Miss Carse, the trustees, the faculty, and the students of Northrop School.
