£ZccM (f or o ca (K . i z-ZJ? HC 2T mi m ■3'yo Cy y f yilu-V i-rK la.tJicAs ‘ ''j Song of Youth We climb, the breath of laughter on our lips. The throb of exultation in our throats. Above the checkered plains and ribbon rivers, We sweep up to the mountain’s shining crest, And, laughing deeply at the ones who follow, We surge across the shimmering space of life. We climb, we run, we deeply breathe, The youths who seek, and seeking find, And, finding, seek again. Betty Bean Betty Bean Editor oi the Tatler Mistress of herself though China fall” Betty, we are convinced, knows her Shakespeare, Wordsworth, Tennyson and Keats better than anyone else in the world. This is a little hard on the rest of us, but we smile and try our best to look intelligent while she quotes passages entirely unknown to us. There is general rejoicing when she brings Alcibiades, her car, to school. Ten or twelve people are a few too many for the poor little black martyr, but Alcy never fails his mistress though he sometimes has to be coaxed and cajoled into good humor. After having served obscurely on the Tatler Board for years, Betty has finally come through to the light, and we hope that the glow of pride won’t extend farther down than her hair. Ruth Barney Editor oi the Tatler And I laughed when 1 saw him in spite of myself.” There is no need to tell our readers of Ruthie’s ability as an artist. Her nim-pic” drawings are so popular that their lithesome figures in Clcopatric positions adorn almost every book in the senior room. Besides being an artist, Ruthie is also something of an athlete. She always manages to get on all the class teams (not that that’s so much of an honor, considering all of the athletic seniors). If you haven’t seen her five scars, she will be glad to make an appointment anytime to recount the gory details. We have a suspicion that her genius for making ghastly faces will open paths for her in a villainous dramatic career, and we are already dreading the day she will come back to haunt us in the Phantom of the Opera.” Page Fil e Alice Benjamin Editor of the Tatler And still she reads on Alice is the bright anil shining light of the class from the tip of her nose to the sole of her shoes! I low could we get along in Latin, Math, French, and English without the aid of her master mind? Alice also revels in gory talcs of torture and in wild western detective stories. We warn you never get into an argument with her, for it will never end, no matter whether she should be squelched or not. Every year Alice has been at our good old Alma Mater, she has held various and distinctive honorary positions. Hurrah for good old Al! Sally Connell Head oi Athletics And uj) she raised her bright blue eyes and sueetly smiled on him Sally takes the cake, no matter whether it’s a real one or one given figuratively for good sportsmanship and good-nature. One of the chief features in the morning is to hear what form her greeting will take—it’s anything from a cheerful noncommittal Hi!” to a decided grunt, but you’re sure she’s there anyway. Sally is a particularly charming example of She was only a minister’s daughter, but—'. Page Six Mary Jane Dineen Trkasuri r oi Senior Class Who did not gain, but was, success” Iowa is noted for its tall corn, and we can also give it credit for Mary Jane. (Upon investigation it was found that she hails from Illinois.) Hurrah for Iowa! (Illinois). The last and most illustrious addition to our already illustrious class, she immediately established a firm place in the hearts of us all, and shall always be remembered for her sunny grin and her readiness to help us out in our difficulties of learning and in collecting the inevitable class dues. Emily Douglas She would ask—I lea tens! How she would ask!” If it is true that a person may gain knowledge by asking questions, our little Emily should be a veritable star in the firmament of great scholars. She always bears the brunt of all our teasing, and her unhappy squawks re-echo down the corridor at many a happy noon hour. She has fulfilled well her duties as class representative and has attained excellent results by keeping people quiet with her undying expression, Oh, Shoot!” Page Seven Marsena Falk Vice-President of League She giggles when she’s tickled, And one might almost say That when there is no reason. She giggles anyway When we sec a small yellow and black Ford careen up the drive, you know that our League’s Vice-President has arrived. Dear old Falky! How she does squirm and writhe when an adventuresome senior or two goes prowling about her ribs. Frequently she quite astounds with her determination to stay for sports on a day other than Wednesday. Perhaps this extra practice is the reason for her invaluable help on each of our teams. Because of her continual, effervescent good-nature we all love her. Louise Hineline ,flt is good to be friendly.” Ouisic” has that merry little twinkle in her eye that makes her so individual, and what is more, she is always ready with sympathy and help when anybody is in trouble. Her powers as a mathematician and her syncopated harmonizing of Body and Soul are the wonder and envy of us all. Louisa, we might say, is always the same, cheerful, friendly, and happy. Page Eight Virginia Lindsay Trusty, dusky, vivid, true. Virginia, or Lindsay as we better know her, joined our ranks quite late. From the moment she arrived she gained the distinction of being the only one in the class to have her point book in complete and on time. Almost any afternoon you may see her hoofing it” around the lake, diligently earning just one more measly little point to add to her rapidly filling note book. Furthermore she always abstains from every forbidden fruit of training rules. Elizabeth Junkin Note all the truth is out ” Lizzie” has been in our midst since the fourth grade. She assures us that during this period her writing has steadily improved, until now from so much improvement it has become well-nigh illegible. Last year her efforts as the chairman of the decorations committee for the J. S. transformed the roof into a veritable fairyland. Her bounding limousine transports Northrop girls to Ivey’s ’most every Friday afternoon. (We will not inquire just how often the license number has been turned in at the office.) She’s bound for the ”U” next year. Here’s to her success! Page Nine Betty Miller For Mercy, Courage, Kindness, Mirth There is no measure upon Earth What shall wo ever do next year without Betty’s incomparable guidance along the rocky road to French fluency? Through the entire year she has stood as firmly as the Rock of Gibraltcr for the upholding of the League’s Constitution and By-Laws. Our one objection is that she has been milling around too much for her own good, and that her motto, Eventually, why not now?” is not as good as it sounds. Barbara Newman The glass of fashion and the mould of form� What should we do on some of those awful days when we are nearly dying of depression and boredom if we didn’t have Bobbie’s clever remarks to keep us in gales of laughter? She gaily skips sports, but when she is finally dragged out to basketball, what a game she plays! Not only can she perform in athletics when she will, but she can slump nonchalantly through her classes with an A in everything from Latin to Cp. VIII French. How the senior room next year will miss Bobbie and her delightfully curled up brown and white shoes! Pw Ten Barbara Southall President of Senior Class The young Astyanax, the hope of Troy.” 'Barby,” our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, has striven upward and onward with the worst of us and cheerfully looks even farther ahead to much prominence and glory in Smith— such as Olympic teams and French scholarships. And when you see the black smoke rolling in from Paris, you’ll know she’s burning up the town—successful at that as at sports and everything else. (We have just been informed by the subject of this paragraph that she is not scholarly.) Betsy Strout President of Northrop League Foolish hoy! Why tremblest thou?” Behold our noble league captain, who has guided the bouncing ship. Constitution, through the perilous waters of this school year! Not only does she steer a clear course on the high seas, but also she seems to have a man in every port. Betsy is an exceedingly versatile personage, and her dramatic talents have entertained us often. Whenever you feel the building tremble as if from a shock, you know that it’s only Betsy exerting her magnetic personality. Vive la belle capitainc! Eleven Lorraine Stuart With a steady suing and an open brow” She’s good as Old Gold, so slender and tall; She’ll play on the team till her arches both fall. Proficient in Algebra, History, and Art, She goes home each day in his little blue cart. Gertrude Swanson Head oi Entertainment She conies, the Spirit of the dance” ’'Gertie,” our chairman of entertainment, keeps us perpetually in anticipation with her plans and threats for the next dance, and we’re certain her bargaining with orchestra leaders will help her in later years. Her $1.95 lisle hose and her immaculate kid gloves (non-washable) are two things that vaguely suggest civilization in the senior room. Like most red-heads— “When she is good, she is very, very good, but when she is bad, she is horrid.” ■ Pane Tuehe Betty Thomson Perchance thou italliest with the morning hour.” Irresponsible, good-natured Betty, whose happy-go-luckiness is half her charm, looks like a crowned angel in her picture, but—well she’s the pride and joy of the class when we’re looking for fun. Unbelievably, because of her fairy-like proportions she holds steadily growing aspirations to be the class bully, but, inspite of this tendency to roughness, or maybe because of it, we consider her pretty near what her picture makes her seem. But Betty also has the added attraction of twelve or a hundred seven passenger buses and at least ten chauffeurs, which she cheerfully shares with the rest of the school. Laura Van Nest Puffs, powder, patches, Film Fun, and billets-doux.” Laura, we all think, would have the honor of being the only member of the class in the Glee Club if she didn’t always choose the same two songs to harmonize. By all the mail” and telephone calls from the East we know that she is as popular with the other sex as she is with her classmates at Northrop. Her untiring efforts toward athletic perfection are admired and wondered at by us all—(she has taken gym of her own accord at least twice this year). Page Thirteen Catherine Wagner Order is a lovely thing.” Tat,” the veteran of the class, has been pursuing knowledge at Northrop since kindergarten days. Almost any sunny afternoon you may find her staying in the library, poring over weighty tomes, enlightening herself upon next week’s chemistry. She is always cheerful and good tempered, and what is even better, she is one of the few Seniors with an orderly locker and a complete uniform. Pane four teen Horoscopes Mademoiselle Bagicr will now tell you all How her little darlings have answered the call. Here’s Betty Bean, our red-headed queen. An English Professor the best ever seen. Linzy”, the swimmer, the Slim, Sleek Seal, Who works in a circus with ardour and zeal. Old Dougie” dear is a musical star; She broadcasts each night both near and afar. Bobbie” from Paris, the stylish modiste, Is known by us all north, south, west and east. Laura, the lovely mama, the wife fond and true, Is rolling her Rolls down the broad avenue. ’Mid bottle and tube, bunson burner and fume, Tat,” a famed chemist, tests what we’ll consume. Sympathetic Miss Miller, the Dorothy Dix,” Apply to this marvel when you’re in a fix. Now Alice we sec, settled down on Gad-shill, Competing, to boot, with the first owner’s skill. Betsy, the actress of wise and deep lore. Gains fame beyond that of the great Barrymore. Minnie, the fog horn,” sage mathema-tique, Is teaching wise students who more knowledge seek. Pretty, petite, a Follies Girl, Gertie” leads life in a gay, mad whirl. Barbie” in bloomers is teaching a class, Of athletic children the basketball pass. Ruthic, an artist, with palette and brush. Creates great oil paintings that make critics blush. Stuart,” the farmeress counts up her chicks, Then calls to her husband, the corn meal to mix. Wcazie,” the far-famed conductor of tours, Brings culture and learning to ignorant boors. The greatest skyscraper that ever was seen. Was designed by the architect, Fleedie” Dineen. Here we see Sal” with her Jack of all trades, Dcstructing Chicago with numerous raids. Lizzie,” the languorous, lives like a queen. With her rich merchant husband and butlers sixteen.

One To Go THE study hall was unsupervised, a dangerous thing in itself. Lavinia’s undertone, the only thing which disturbed the quiet of the room, was soon silenced by the threat of a demerit and by several impolite ejaculations on the part of Dcbby and Esther. Helen Jane looked out of the corner of her eye to see if anyone was watching her. Then she drew a stick of rubbery substance wrapped in green paper from her pocket. She knew the consequences if she should be caught, and she also knew that her restless jaws would not escape the watchful eye of Anne. They never had yet. She remembered how mortified she had been when she had to go before the room council. Now, as she thought of herself standing meekly before the supreme assembly, the League, she began to quake; for this was to be her fate if she were given one more misdemeanor check. Was this choice morsel wrapped in green worth it? Again she looked around to see if the vigilant eye was upon her. Everyone was busily studying. Suddenly she thought of the old saying, There is a first time for everything.” Perhaps this was to be the time when she would not be caught. As she started to remove the outside paper, she noticed that Catherine glanced up from her book and looked over at her. Immediately Helen Jane was deep in her Latin translation. She tried again and this time had just taken off the inside wrapping of tinfoil when the door was startlingly opened by Miss Sadley. The wastebasket received a whole stick of unchewed gum and Miss Sadley a thankful smile as Helen Jane realized how narrow her escape had been. H. J. S.

Ye who have wit (Mary Partridge, this is for you) try writing next year’s Tatler page. SCHOOL NEWS DAY BY DAY Tiny and Tcpa struggle for supremacy in Patty Book” literature. Tiny completes set (27 books) 2 hrs., 3 5 min. before Tcpa. We trust their craving for higher literature has been appeased. Oliv’ Carpenter attains posture check record—29 to date; more pouring in. Kay Price saunters nonchalantly down the corridor, followed by the worshipping glances of certain members of the 8th Grade. Sue W., eminent artist, satisfies wolfish hunger in French class. Results—disastrous. Kay Boynton, rising amid expectant hush, reads wholcly unintelligible theme. Betty Oakes tears pink (naturally wavy) hair as no funds for the Entertainment Committee pour in. We all envy the adaptability of Mary Jane’s coats to the weather. There is the below zero one, and one when it is just zero, and one when the Fahrenheit is slightly above. More study periods are interrupted by the continuous giggles of Dolly and Harriet. We rise in body and cheer as Ruth and Mary M. arrive on time. We hear Barbara’s hair is due to go up. Wc first heard this last fall. Mary F. and Shakie rejuvenate that school-girl complexion’’ after lengthy conference with compacts. Janet’s pet pet word— monkey”. By request of Sally C., we wish to make a correction to a statement in the ’29 Tatler. The afore mentioned S. C. is neither sweet, meek, nor mild. BELIEVE IT OR NOT Betty Carey obtained an A average in everything for term. For further proof, see faculty. PERSONAL COLUMN Helen—When you were treasurer, how did you like it when no one brought her dues? Alice—Silence is golden. (?) Editor’s office—The Kindergarten. (Maybe that explains it.)

Absent: Ann P wIps The Eighth Mary Gluck McDonald will someday be The very best French student we’ll ever see. With books she'll stay Day after day And be too bright for you and me. Katharine will care for the ill, And Nancy will busily use her quill; Though one will nurse And one write verse. Both will be done with very much skill. There was a young society dame, Miss lillcn Jane Carlcton, I think, was her name; One of her greatest passions Was designing the latest fashions. But she has time for other things just the same. Then there was Betty, a healthy young miss. Who really should have been born a Swiss, For climbing mountains she did adore. And she walks until her feet arc sore; But itill climbing and walking to her arc pure bliss. Shirley is an exceedingly good artist. And Penny a brilliant young horticulturist; And each of the two Invented something new. That the world till then had greatly missed. Rhoda’s ideals are very high, And her mind is usually up in the sky; She seems to be Deep in astronomy. Though we hope that this notion will soon pass by. A loving young lady is Cal; Both to birds and beasts she's a pal. A pet store she wishes To keep birds and fishes. This very remarkable gal. An author of note will be Chandy; With commas and words she’s so handy. She writes page's and reams; She gets A's on her themes. And her stories arc simply dandy. Susan’s ambitions run on a very high scale; In her enterprise we hope she doesn't fail. The first woman to be The president is she. But soon this idea to her will be stale. There was a young lady named Lizzie Who giggled till she grew quite dizzy; Her hair was all curly, Grade Future This pretty little girlie. Who laughingly keeps all from being busy. I’m afraid that Toots will be someday A nun in a somber long garb of gray; She’ll spend her life being kind. The saintliest person you’ll ever find. Our quiet little Tootie will live in a convent and pray. Of all of her hobbies and all of her pets Charlotte likes horses and dogs the best; Her dogs arc prize winners. And from the beginners She takes many ribbons away with the rest. Sally Ross! Sally Ross! We want to know. Where you and the Girls' Travel School” all go! Do all work hard or do as they please? Do they learn Latin verbs or look at the seas. While passing through places high and low? Did you sec that gorgeous limo that passed just now? Did you sec that languorous, placid brow? Riding about, living a life of ease. No work, much leisure (it seems to please). Our million-dollar Marjic is happy, and how! Who comes with her golf sticks, straight and tall, From a champion game with her small white ball? Alice Learned, of course, whose splendid play To international championship paved the way, With flowers and loud houts from friends one and all! A dainty young girl named Anne Whose dancing's the best in the land Will dance to fame abroad And return again, assured That her friends will all give her a hand. There’s Dickie, our prize-taker too! You know quite well what she can do! When she once begins a thing Be it at school or in the ring She's the one to sec it through! She rode in horse shows and liked it well But now another story we must tell! Up. up, into the clouds in her glider plane Goes Betty V. and to earth again Helping the number of women fliers to swell. Just look at the headlines everywhere. And you'll know that our famed actress is there! Wined and dined and feted by all; All the world’s at her beck and call. But for all the fuss and feathers our Tommy doesn’t care. • Page Tucnly-three FORM vn Mary I.oit Benson, Cbloc Doerr, Mary Anna Hash, Belly SilvertJiOrne, Margaret HopwooJ, Ann McMillan, Janet Wyer, Frances Johnson, Ellen llnff, Mary Ixslie.

The first of a scries of events by the Senior High School was the fifty yard dash, in which Virginia Cook won first place and Betty Jones second. In the running high jump Virginia Cook won again. She also tied the school record of four feet and four inches, which had been held by Jane Robinson. Barbara Southall, Virginia Roberts, and Esther Hardcnbergh tied for second place. Alice Fraser established a new school record for the baseball throw, with a distance of one hundred and forty-four feet and ten inches. In this same event Deborah Anson placed second. First place in the discus throw was won by Marsena Falk; in the javelin throw Virginia Cook placed first; and the blue ribbon in the archery contest was taken by Louise Walker. The result of the Junior Track Meet was also of interest to the spectators. First place in the fifty yard dash was won by Mary Hammerel, with Jane Welch and Anne Phelps coming in with a close second and third. The baseball and basketball throw were also won by Mary Hammerel, Susan Snyder placing second in the first of these and Betty Oakes in the second. In the running high jump Frances Ward and Martha Bagley placed first and second respectively. The record for this event was also broken. Betty Andrus earned first in the archery event, and Anne Morrison came in second. Other winners in the Junior and Senior High School Track Meet were Harriet Kemp, Mary Knoblauch, Ellen Brown, Mary Shaw, Betty Oakes, and Dolly Conary. When the last event in the track meet was finished, the final baseball game between the Juniors and the Sophomores was played. It was very amusing to watch the five athletic Juniors battle with the full, strong team of the Sophomores. In spite of the valiant efforts of the team in minority, the Sophomores gained the victory, with only a two point lead over their opponents. Frances Ward Editor's Non : Frances Ward, who broke the running high jump record of Northrop, with a jump of lour feet and eight inches, also broke the women’s scissors jump record of the United State by one and one half inches and came within two inches of the college record for that event.

Miss Ogan. As it was the Freshmen’s first year in playing hockey, they did not win any games from the other more experienced teams; nevertheless, they played very well and had several outstanding players. On account of their lack of hockey devotees, due to their strange antipathy for sports, an hereditary trait of Seniors, their only claim to fame in the field of hockey this year was an indecisive victory over the Freshmen—a tie of 1-1. The Sophomores had an excellent team and came in second in the race, leaving the highest honors for the Juniors, who had fought hard for the championship. After the final game of the inter-class tournament, a Varsity team was chosen. On November thirteenth the Varsity struggled desperately with the strong and powerful force of the alumnae. A great deal of time was lost because of the extra time-out periods required by the alumnae’s incomprehensible lack of breath. However, they fared well until the middle of the third period, when their goal-keeper had to leave. The next calamity was the collapse of the ancient goal posts, which were from that time on supported by a trusty freshman. Finally the game ended with a 5-3 victory for the Varsity. Both teams were pretty well worn out, but everybody is looking with anticipation toward the time when the Alumnae will again meet another varsity team.

Speed Ball 1930-1931 THE seventh and eighth grades played two class games this year. The first, on October sixteenth, resulted in a 3 5-6 score, in favor of the eighth grade. The second game was played on October twenty-sixth and was also a victory for the eighths, the score being 23-8. The speed ball teams are as follows: Seventh Grade Eighth Grade Dain (capt.) Snyder (capt.) Pa tt ridge Thompson Briggs Lucker Johnson McDonald Creamer Belcher McMillan Bulkley Benson Gluek Hopwood Carleton Fled back Learned Nash Chandler Warner Phelps Subs: Betty Vogtel Penelope Paulson Marjorie Haglun This is, of course, the sevenths’ first year of speed ball. However, from the looks of their team it is easy to predict their success against the next year sevenths. In concluding I wish, on behalf of the eighth grade team, to thank both Miss Shomler and Miss Pease, who contributed so much to our success by their greatly needed help. Susan Snyder PdXt Tbirty-one The Northrop Horse Show 1930 THE Annual Horse Show, October 17, was the first one to be held at Allen’s new Indoor Riding Ring in St. Louis Park. Miss Mary Eaton, a former Northrop League President, assisted as Ring Mistress. Mr. L. K. Eaton, who has so kindly helped us in our horse shows of previous years, whose services have always been gratefully felt by the school, and whose sudden loss we deeply grieve, served us again this year as judge. Mr. William Hindle and Mr. J. F. Burke also officiated. The first event of the afternoon was the Lower School Equestrienne Class. Betty King carried off the blue ribbon in this, as well as in the Pony Class. The winners in the Junior and Senior Equestrienne events were Katherine Rand and lone Kuechle. In the Beginners’ Class the trophy was won by Anne Phelps. Barbara Scriver placed first in the Three Gaited event, and Betty Thomson won the blue ribbon in the Five Gaited class. The winners of the pair class were lone Kuechle and Barbara Scriver, and Janet Bulkley won the spurs for bareback riding. Mrs. Frank Knoblauch was in charge of the very welcome tea which was served later in the room adjoining the show ring. Betty Ragland Page Thirty-two Basketball 1931 THIS year Northrop has gone back to three court basketball. Though at first we were a little prejudiced toward two court basketball, we arc really enjoying this other style and find the gymnasium wonderfully adapted to it. Oftentimes we think how happy the present day alumnae would have been if they had had the privilege of using such a delightful gym as we now possess. Our varsity team, which represented the best talent in the high school, competed here against the alumnae and finally won the game. At first it looked as if there would be no game, but at last the alumnae turned out in full glory and in various sorts of gym costumes. The annual banquet was held March twenty-sixth and the two teams which had won the largest number of interclass games clashed to decide the championship. The Juniors played superb basketball and chased the poor Seniors around the floor until they begged for time out and for lemons to revive them. Let us say though that the Seniors played a good, hard, fighting game and succeeded in holding the superior Juniors until the last quarter. The lower grades showed very good material and great promise for next year. Clever originality was displayed in the uniforms of the different classes. The following scores will show how the teams were eliminated and the victory was gained by the Juniors: SCORLS OF BASKETBALL GAMES Junior vs. Freshmen ..... 39-4 Sophomores vs. Freshmen 22 - IS Juniors vs. Seniors 3 5 - 12 Seniors vs. Freshmen ........................ 24-13 Juniors vs. Sophomores 26-21 Seniors vs. Sophomores 23-15 Varsity vs. Alumnae 38-24 Tournament, Juniors vs. Seniors 38 - 25 Lorraine Stuart BASKETBALL TEAMS 1931 Freshmen Sophomores Juniors Seniors Jump Center Price Hardenbcrg (capt.)

Miller PiiRe Thirty-three Page Thirty-four Rhythmic Dancing V HYTHMIC dancing has become very popular this year, perhaps on account of our desire to be graceful, or, a little more plausibly, on account of the popular belief that dancing is one of the quickest ways to get thin. This year two music and dancing programs were given, one a mock puppet show acted by the girls of the fourth and seventh grades, and the other a dairying program by the second grade. The outstanding dancing event of the year, however, will be the Spring program to be held in March. This will be made up of original rhythms by the dancing club. The girls from the high school who are especially interested in Miss Shornler’s work have formed a class where they learn to express music by different body movements. Those, too, who do not consider themselves dancers love to watch the others in their pretty costumes, with their silky scarfs and bright balloons. 1 am sure that this new enthusiasm will create something of which Northrop will always be proud. Virginia Roberts The Art Department THE pupils of Northrop School are considering themselves extremely fortunate this year in having the opportunity to study under Mr. Gustav Krollmann, who came to our country from Austria. His charming little miniatures, his distinguished portraits, and his beautiful mural paintings are well known throughout the Twin Cities. He has brought to our school a talent and an interest which have produced work of unusual value. There is no one who docs not have sometime in life the desire to paint. However, as one grows older and has more divergent interests, she hesitates to start in the artistic field. In creative art we arc not given a picture and told to copy it, nor are we even expected to draw from nature, but are encouraged to use our imaginative powers. As younger children do not know or anticipate the difficulties they will meet in expressing their ideas, it is easier for them than for older persons to get into the habit of thinking creatively. We all have our own ideas on different subjects, for example, on sports, religion, the human figure. In Mr. Krollmann’s class we are given a piece of paper on which we may put down our personal opinion of the subject which interests us most. Then our sketches are corrected. We discuss the subject itself, the point of view, the mood, the medium best suited to the expression of the subject. Also we are advised as to the more mechanical phases, correct drawing, proportion, expression, color, and the like. And then, just before beginning the final sketch we discuss details of light and shade, and sometimes of perspective. We were all very proud to have our school represented in the Creative Art department of the Progressive Education” exhibition in Detroit this year. And we must not forget to mention the exhibition which the department put on here in connection with our Open Day” in February. From the comments which were overheard we may consider that this year has been a very successful one in the Art Department.

THE FIRST CHRISTMAS I Three shepherds lay on a grassy hill Watching their flocks by night, When an angel of God came and said unto them, Follow yon star so bright.” II Follow till thou comest to Bethlehem, Where thou wilt see a wondrous thing, A babe whose bed is a manger, But who is Heaven’s king.” III When the angel had gone, and all was still, One shepherd said to the rest, Let us go and sec this wondrous thing, A babe born in a manger but yet a king.” IV Three kings of the Orient, mighty and rich, Sat watching the stars of the night. When the angel appeared to them and said, Follow yon star so bright.” V Follow till thou comest to Bethlehem, Where thou wilt see 3 wondrous thing, A babe whose bed is a manger. But who is Heaven’s king.” VI The lowly shepherds and mighty kings Together followed the guiding star. Together they knelt at the manger’s side, And gave the gifts they brought from afar. Nancy Lou Mack all AN ELF I went into the garden And found a little elf. He was sitting on a flower And talking to himself. Cora Hill. THE CROCUS A little yellow crocus Stuck its head up through the ground It stretched a bit,—it yawned a bit, And then it looked around. Not another flower could it sec; But then it did not care For it was very glad to be The first flower blooming there. Jane Dobson. Pa C Thirty-six Calendar for 1930-1931 September 15, 19)0.
