r . I t I ■ r FOREWORD CHOOL days arc joy days; days tilled with the pleasures of friendships and the gladness of intimacy, with the satisfaction of work well done and the pride in having done it for one’s school. And we at Northrop School have been blessed with such days from the rime of our entering as kindergarteners, up through grammar school and our subsequent joining of the League; on through these last days when, as high school girls, we took a real part in the activities of school life, and felt ourselves to have each one a share, however small, in the great whole, our Alma Mater. And it is to recollection of these joys and to the memory of our school days that we of the senior class wish to dedicate the 1916 Tatlcr.

It was actually a reality—our dream had come true for we were at Inst garbed in those precious white robes for which we had been striving for four years. Memories of these years rushed over me. How burdened we wi re with our importance in living Freshmen; Seniors seemed very old and distant. Suddenly we slipped from cock robins to conscientious Sophomores. By this time rumors were heard of a financial problem that we, a« Juniors, must meet. Immediately we began to save all our pennies in order to startle tile Faculty and the Seniors of 1025 with a luxurious Junior-Senior ball. So our Sophomore year closed with many peeks Into the class treasury. Dancing, fortune telling, freaks, ami so on, came to our rescue in preparation for the .1. S. Wr Juniors, ns financiers, staged a Junior carnivnl ami it was successful. May the twenty-ninth, in the year of our I.ord, one thousand-nine hundred and twentv-fivc, was the red letter day of our Junior year. Our hopes, not our fears, were realized. (Jayly we danced to Tea for Two in the green and white decked ballroom (alias the dining room) and promenaded in a garden in Japan, otherwise the roof garden sadlv___ah, yes__the music hesitated and then ceased—as we unitedly sighed, perlftips with relief, perhaps with weariness. Who knows? Our Herculean task had passed, ami our eyes were turned to the magnetic red ties. Honored beyond recognition we were the first to abide iii the new Senior room, south-west parallel room •! , on tin third floor. June quickly slipped near and we fixed our hope and ambitions on the now approaching goal, graduation. Thirteen 0I9Z6 NORTHROP THE CL In nineteen hundred nnd fifty-six The year of our I.ord, A.

HiHi BI9Z6 nOKTHROP TATLER I9Z6i FRIDAY, THE THIRTEENTH WK worked feverishly nnd ho| rd thnt tlwre would be no niori' dispute concerning the chairs. Some thought the one from the dining room ought to he used; others thought not. Tlie chairs were brought down nnd then token hack with much strife along the way. Would anyone want to play bridge? We wondered. Would anyone bring cards to play bridge with? We wondered ngain. The fact that wax was being applied to the Hour caused a good deal of worry, for we were afraid we would fall and break our necks if too much was put on. However, even in thnt predicament, we were determined to be gracious and smiling. Did everyone know that all the autumn bough in blur and silver were tied on with red string. We fervently hoped they didn't, for we were in no condition to do anything about it if they did. Thus our thoughts rnn a we slammed down tables, tied on table cloths, and practised our Spanish dance in uniforms nnd low heeled shoes. At five thirty we went home, thankful that we didn't have to wash the windows nnd clran up the furnace room. Much credit must he given to those- few guests who realised that the gym was supposed to represent a cabaret. We greatly appreciate their penetration. They perhaps didn't know thnt fortune telling nnd tishing for tin automobiles in the telephone booth were a part of the procedure at a cabaret dance Hut if they didn’t know these things, they had milch to learn, for that' what they did at our party and who were we to spurn their filthy lucre? They alv danced and ntr heartily of the ice cream and cake we served. Many thought the popcorn halls were a holdup, hut they refrained from throwing them at us when we asked ten cents. An attrinpt was made at amusement when we gave two dances; one with castanets and tambourines nnd much swirling nnd swooping; another with Spanish shawls draped on us. This latter one was more or less of a failure, for we couldn't seem to get into step when we did it a second time. The audience, however, applauded, regardless of the fact, ami didn't see thnt the dnnee was any worse- than it had been the first time. About eleven-thirty it was gently hinted that the time had come for the party to break up. We went on aeliing fret, hoping thnt since the party had been a success linaneiallv, the guests were not mnking too many derogatory remarks about it ns a social function. Dawn broke, ami blushed to see the sight at Northrop School: packs of cards scattered in fifty-two different places, tables every which way. covers off, rake and popcorn hall scattered liberally on the floor. A few of us came to clean up, and cleaned with many yawns. After n few hours the gym began to take on its natural air of bleakness, and we left it to the tender mercies of Civile ami Mullen, Imping that the Junior-Senior would be a good one.

The winter outdoor fan is on a humpy, crooked hill hack of school used for sliding. Down it goes a continuous stream of sleds, toboggan , and ski . Sometime an overloaded sled drops a passenger on the way, and sometime a load lands upside down in a drift, hut it' all part of the fun. PARTIES At tile beginning of school the seventh form were guest of the eighth form at the o|H-ning league party. We danced a great deal, and wr laughed at the Wild West liow and the autoride of by gone day . Then we climtN-d to the top floor for refresh merits and more laughing. On the eleventh of February to return the courtesy, wc invited the eighths to a valentine party. After decorating our guests with gay cap , wr danced for a while. The event of the day, however, was the valentine boxes. There were three fat one stuffed with valentine for us all. By the time we had exclaimed over them, wc were ready to have refreshment . Cheer of appreciation ended the party. CHAPEL PROGRAMS This year we have hern visited by both a princess ami ■ duke.

Mountain Day, by the way, wa� � red letter day. for tlw Frr hmen particularly. Tkirtv Tkrre It wo one of IIhim gorgeous l Iur October day when we could hardly stand the thought of having to ho inside, and’, almost like a gift from Heaven. MU Woolley unexpectedly announced In morning chapel that she would leave It to the students to vote whether they would have their holiday then, with it incomplete arrangements or two day later when it vu scheduled, with beautifully laid plan hut with pu -aiblr dancers The girl were simply bursting witti excitement by that time, and the vote was carried unanimously. Not one el ass in prospect for that day, hut just a chance to start out with a lunch on your back to “part unknown —oh, it wa wonderful! Another big part of our college social life here in the fall and spring is college � � ng and claw serenades During Septetnlier and October we had one out by the “College Steps once a week. I dudl never forget Dm- first time we gathered under n full moon, nhotil nine o'clock, and our senior song leader started us off by having us sing all the Mings we knew about the moon, with the singing of parts much rncouragrd! Kvrn if Use harmony was a little doubtful in s|Mit , taken a a whole the result was “perfectly heavenly — to one enthusiastic Frrshman. Thro a few weeks later tile Freshmen were called to their windows one evening to hear '•Sister , sister , we sing to you. and looking down, we saw the whole Junior class assembled underneath the dormitory windows. Then in due time our turn came to surprise them, ' hut it wasn't, evidently, kept a deep ami dark secret as we had Imped, for at tile end of tlie first sung we were literally showered with candy kisses hurled down from above. That are ju t a few of the kinds of things we do outsidr our academic work; not to inrntion tlie picnic breakfasts at Paradise In the warm wcathrr. sleigh rkles or hike to Did Hadley, n quaint old town near hrre. Winter Carnival, or all the excitement that comes witli Junior Prom time. Then, you may lie wire, the little sister are pressed Into service! What I think, however, make Mount Holyoke mean what it does to u.s Is something that is almost Impossible to describe, but some-thing that is just as real as any phage of our life Imre and llud Is the college atmosphere. It is created. In |uirt, by Mis Woolley's wonderful elui|iel services in part h tlie sheer beauty of the country in which me live, ami. lastly, by the tine spirit of the girls thro,solve , the college community. Very sincerely. Duals Doi-uls . '25. To the Editor of tlie IWM Taller, We who once formed a goodly |iart of N'orthrop's illustrious student body, but who now attend Vassar College, semi our heartiest and most affectionate greetings, to the pupils, the faculty, the trustee , and Mis ( arse!

Ilut now that we have become acclimated, we take great joy In remembering our years |ient at Northrop, and rrallte, more und more, all that site did for us We owe our present life and opportunities to Northrop' splendid teaching and luirkground. The Northrop league gavr us a moral background which we shall never lose. Our companionship will, rnrh other gave us friendship which CAB never lie lost, even lliough wc may lie separated. Northrop Alumnae who are Sophomores ami tlie five who are hold-ing up tlw honor of Vassar' rl « of 28, still feel Northrop' Influence very strongly, and are forever singing her praise . They feel that the training in concentration and in well-divided time receive,! at Northrop lias proved invaluable througlwiut their college course. The large number of u Iwrr at Vavoir, set a Jde a “Northrop glrb feel that we have a great responsibility resting on us. We have a standard to live up to, n standard cause,I by the good name sent out into tlie world by Northrop. May we live up to that name, may we carry nn tlie standard of Northrop School.

It is true, of course, that the l-eague Is governed hy its officers. Imt the League itself is what the large body of the girls make it. The pledge, an expression of its standards, seeks to hold each girl to a high sense of tumor, loyalty, and self-improvement. This, briefly.

Gardens I Have Read About BOOKS nrr tlie mrani by wlilrh one may travel without moving. It is through tin medium of a hook thnt I wit olilr to visit n garden In Italy. It luppened to lie n garden that wit tvpienlly Itnlinn anil a very charming one. The entrance wa through a vine-covered Tuscan arch nt the side of a villa, nnd down several step to a wide terrnee. 'Hie sun was lientlng down outside, hut inside this walled garden all wax cool and refreshing. At one's feet were dump of darkest green Forte fern . Ukc luinlaliirr fords. At tlie bottom of tlie trrracr there was n terracotta pool, where water flower wrrr drifting on Ihrlr lint {{reen puds Arounil the edge of this pool mill through no aisle of tlnr fragrant pink rose liuihn win n ipacr rnclinwl on three shim by frnthery greens. Ilerr n laughing satyr was prrrltcd on the top of a fountain, s|M uting water m a silvery are. Through a shaded avenue enulil lie seen other seeluilrtl upotft with marble heneliew in front of other fountain . In another ilireetion was a grotto wliere water trickled down gray, rnovs-eovrrrd stone . Far In tl e distance were cypress trees waving their � |icar-like tops and standing guard over the coolneM and iM-auty of tlie garden. Very different from this is the sunny Knglisti garden that next I visited. It, too, was terraced and hud fountains, hut tlie water in these fountains sparkled in the sun, and tlie eool dampness of tlie Italian gnnlrn was larking. On the lerrncr were occasional closely-trimmed yew trees, or Imx tree cUp|tcd in odd lia|M-� .
