It has always been a privilege of each outgoing class to have the closest contact with Mademoiselle's culture and experience. We. therefore, cannot but feel that we were deprived of a dear friend as well as a great teacher, but we can anticipate the pleasure of finding her in her accustomed place when we return to the school as alumnae. The Tatler of 1932 Georgiana Adams Business Manager of the Tatler Class Treasurer To speak prose without knowing it. To be clever unconsciously. GEORGIE” has been with us only during the past four turbulent years of high school, but she has made herself as much a part of the class as those who can claim kindergarten arrivals here. Her complete friendliness, spontaneity, and acquiescence to calls for aid tided us through many crises. She is distinctly individual and especially so in regards to the neat order and complete array of her uniform. Never far away when any fun’s afoot and always hovering among the highest peaks of senior marks, we may find “Georgie.” Next year she plans to study at the “U.” Indeed it seems that she has been familiarizing herself with the surroundings and cementing friendships during the past year. We have no doubts about her success in those ’’Halls of Learning and we wish her all possible luck to go with it. I 5 ] The Tatler of 1932 Carolyn Belcher “Is she not passing fair? WITH her auburn curls and a sprinkling of artistically placed freckles. Carolyn is one of our two Titian blondes. She swings a '‘mean'’ golf club and also represents the baseball enthusiasts on the Athletic Council. A participant in practically all popular sports. Belchy” excels at most of them. Recently. bridge has become her ruling passion. This even manifested itself in her History projects. That far-away look in her eyes may be accounted for by the fact that, mentally, she is indulging in a two no-trump bid on a five count or other remarkable, albeit unaccountable, plays. Carolyn, having been with us for many long years, knows all our faults and puts up with them good naturcdly. Where she is. there is fun. good humor, and a kind indulgence. I 6 1 The Tatler of 1932 DEAR Ellen, daughter of many whims and fancies. We never know, when she appears, how she intends to cope with our cheery greetings. Not that this alters her lovableness. A dash of unexpected pepper never has ruined a personality yet! She has always carried away the leather medals on Field Day by emulating Robin Hood. Her insatiable appetite for “White Castles and eating at Abdallah's is justly famous. Ever since her advent to Northrop. Ellen's questions have been regarded with awe because of their multiplicity and searching insight. Her original ideas, commonly termed the Brownian Movement. are always written with a flourish, in green ink, and provide pungent amusement for those who read them. Ellen, as a Child Wonder and stimulating companion, has never disappointed us. I 7 ] The Tatler of 1932 «� M Janet Bulkley “Her heart is like the moon— always a man in it. OUR one and only Janet—what would we do without her! It’s true some of us are rather awed by her much-merited reprimands, and shake in our “ghillie-ties when she turns her righteous wrath upon us. We admire the prowess she displays in any form of athletics and love her really charming smile. Speaking of smiles, “Sammy” has the enviable talent of turning from the complete mastery of the hockey field to radiate most appealingly in the directions of the “stronger sex.” Whereupon, from golf champions down, they melt accordingly. But, for all of that, no one could ever accuse Janet of being an angel. The sly twinkle in her blue eyes would contradict that opinion. I 8 ] The Tatler of 1932 Jane Fansler Editor of the Tatler We call it only pretty Fanny's way.” FROM her infant days, when Jane might be glimpsed reading Compton's ten-ton tomes of Encyclopoedia for pleasure, she has had the established distinction of being our “Walking Dictionary.” Never a word so obscure but what Jane knows the meaning and several synonyms! To her competent management, under the demoralizing stress of this past year's sad changes we are indebted for our “Tatler.” “Fanny” has a solution for every problem, from late Latin lessons to lurid lipsticks. Her magnetic personality and cordial grace of manner have made her a sought-after companion during the week-end as well as through the week. The ctherial quality with which Jane invests her generous supply of “it,” probably accounts for the increased flow of “fan-mail” to the Fansler domicile after each vacation—most of it bearing famous Eastern post-marks.

Fisher Chairman of Public Interests Committee Honest labor bears a lovely facer MARY, or Fishie” as she has inappropriately become known to us, holds, undoubtedly, the largest wreath of mathematical laurels among the Seniors. Never shall we forget the nonchalant ease with which she could unwind, in a crucial moment sandwiched between Chapel and first period, some knotty problem, over which many had slaved half the night. As the head of North-rop’s Welfare Committee, her imaginative eloquence for the Cause swelled the contribution of our pennies until the highest goal was reached. Throughout her English work is reflected a rare, understanding love of . children, a characteristic few of us can claim and fewer still appreciate. We haven't decided exactly what for, but someday we expect to boast proudly of having graduated from high school with Mary. So much sincere effort and uncomplaining concentration could not fail to make her famous. ..

Gluek Chairman of Student Government Council There’s mischief in that woman! PUFFY'' is our jovial League President, who sometimes lets her inherent good nature obscure her “official ferocity. Her tranquil and unflinching obedience has made of her a “pillar of strength for her “weaker sisters during the trying days when training rules are to be observed. This ingenious sub-deb whiles away her noon recess by practising (?) her Herdahl jazz technique. She is as ready to laugh at herself as at anyone else. This quality, most of all, has endeared her to us and earned our unanimous affection. For providing the Senior room with “colorful signs, for accompanying the “Northrop High-Steppers of 1932. and for being the most universally appreciated good sport among us, we salute you. “Puffy dear! r 4 i ii i The Tatler of 1932 iiniiiiuiiiiuuiiiuiiiiiiiiiimiuiiiiiiuiuiuiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiii'iiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiKuiniiiMiiiiiiiiuiiinmiiiniiiiiiiiinuiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiuiiiiiiiimiiiii ANN1S has been chairman of the Athletic Committee, and what a successful one she has made! Being interested in any and all sports herself, she instills in others a spark of her own enthusiasm. As a result, school athletics have progressed nobly this year. Annis, though a staid and decorous young lady (if one were to judge from her picture), is. in reality, the official “boss” of all class monkey-shines—legitimate or otherwise. What an imagination she has for cutting capers! There is no end to her perpetual flow of ideas—from dish-pan drums to less barbarous forms of celebration. We all regard Annis as a pal and are tempted to follow whither her none-too airy footsteps lead us. ( 12 1 The T a t l e •HMiiMMtMMMMiMiNnMiiMniiiamiiiMuiMiiiiiuimaiiiiaiiiimiiiiiiiiMlMHlMiiiniiiiiiHiiiMiMiiii R of 19 3 2 ROSEY has undoubtedly the most piquant personality in the class. We never know what to expect next. There’s the side of her we call whimsical, for she can display the most original humor on occasion, causing us daily to send our laughter uproariously through the dining room. Perhaps the word Puckish, coined by herself, describes this mood most aptly. It is when she startles us with incredibly beautiful poetry and powerfully written sketches that we call her lyrical. Then there is the side indescribable as anything but lovable. She has the tact and ability to make us proud of our achievements. She can be most sympathetic with our numerous tales of woe. Let us say, in closing, that though she is an enthusiastic part of the class, we feel that her heart resides, through the winter months, in a certain little town in New Jersey. 1 13 ] The Tatler of 1932 MiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiMiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiMiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiniiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiimiiiiiiiiiiimmiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiMiNiiitmiiiiiiiimu Lella Hopwood Class Representative Is she not more than painting can express. Or youthful poets fancy when they love? LELLA decided to give us a break at the end of seventh grade, arriving in our midst, a tanned morsel from sunny Florida. A riotously successful career followed, during which she alternately doubled for Babe Ruth on the baseball teams and astounded the B class with her rather exotic grasp of French. This winter she became the founder of the silent four. an eating club of school-wide reputation. She has contributed many hair-raising nouns and juicy adjectives to the class vocabulary, thus enabling us to keep ahead of the school, at large, on slanguage.” As student representative, that is to say. chief of Senior Police, she has faithfully applied the soft pedal to our vocalizing and done her best to curb our animal spirits. Lella has proved to be a good mixer, zealous student, and unobtrusive captain of the most subtly clever high-jinks ever perpetuated by the class. She has never abused her Senior privileges, nor made her Seniority irksome to the lower school, accomplishments we have all striven for. 1 M 1 The Tatler of 1932 ................ Betty Jones Class Representative Her inextinguished laughter shakes the skies. ALTHOUGH Jones” was one of the first to join our ranks in kindergarten. she soon deserted to try her hand at a little co-education. However, in the eighth grade, she returned to the confinement of the red brick walls and has ever since been an ardent participant in the class activities. Her sparkling personality plus a few pillow fights of which she was the originator have enlivened many a dull seventh period. There never seemed to be any blue Mondays for Betty. Her bright animation never droops. We all wish her every possible joy and conquest, and hope she will get as much fun out of college as she has apparently had while being a Northrop Senior. 1 15 1 The T •iiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiii||,mil|||| atler of 1932 ' MiiiMumnMMinmiiHmnuiiniMiMHinniMmiimHMUiniiunHiiiiiHnttMmNtMiiiiiHiiintMMMiiiiiNiMininiHMiMiiiiiiiuiiii,! Good nature is the key to friendship: she's unlocked the door. KNOBBY. twice our beloved though, sad to say, insufficiently revered class president, holds the record for unfailing good humor and universal friendliness. Her gusty arrivals, just in the nick of time, as the tardy bell sounded its tocsin, lent a zest to the morning which, one and all. we came to anticipate. Among the many honorary positions which she held, that of the charter member of the silent four earned for her more distinction than any of the others. Her innocent entanglement in all the Senior escapades, coupled with her adroit evasion of the law will doubtless remain an unrivaled record for classes to come. - 1 16 ] The Tatler of 1932 Miriam Lucker The love of learning, the sequestered nooks. And all the sweet serenity of books.” MIRIAM, cant rightly be called the “old faithful of the class. She has remained unflinchingly loyal to school, class, and friends. By her unfailing cheerfulness, she has smoothed over many a rough spot in our career. Having steeped herself in the lore of the pirate-past, Miriam is now regarded as an undisputed authority on all the obscure bits of history that have eluded our frenzied search. She may claim the distinction of being the most hair-raising driver in the class. Many is the time she has speeded us homeward, taking the curves on two wheels, her 1'itian locks in charming disarray. Despite this recklessness, we all look to Miriam as a model of propriety. I 17 1 The Tatler of 1932 Isabel McLaughlin Charms strike the sight. And merit u?in$ the soul. “ TBBY” contributed her versatile bit to the class achievements from the kindcr--L garten days, when her pendulous black curls were the despairing envy of all her Dutch-bobbed colleagues. A most talented young lady, she not only gave a senorita tang to the Northrop dancing programs and stole the operatic honors with her hauntingly sweet soprano voice, but offered frequent irrefutable logic in History discussions and enlivened English periods with her sparkling vivid descriptions. To know “Ibby” as some of us do, is to have become acquainted with some one who takes this business of friendship seriously, giving sympathetic jollity, tactfulness, and a steadfast loyalty to any whom she call “friend.” f 18 ] The Tatler of 1932 .. Minimi......................mm Bettie D. Ragland Chairman of Artistic Interests Committee Clever in a charming way She‘$ ever studious but gay. THERE is one outstanding impression that we of 32 will leave at Northrop. That is the splendid dramatic ability and enviable diction of Betts.” Never has she disappointed our Northrop audiences. We must not forget to mention Nellie.” steady, dependable Nellie” who has accommodated all of us so many times! Nellie” who probably knows her way to St. Paul Academy as well as her mistress knows the route to Cincinnati. There never was a more brilliant scholar, sympathetic friend, or loyal Northropite”! It’s hard to read a famous dramatic future for you in the crystal, Betts. Your classmates all enthusiastically wish you supreme success. I 19 1 The Tatler of 1932 iimimuiiiiiiiitiimiuiiiiiiimiiiimmiimiitiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiimiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiimm.. Virginia Roberts “It's nice to be natural When you're naturally nice. G1NNIE” was the “premiere danseuse of the class. Be it a clog, chorus, or interpretative number, its failure would have been inevitable without her. Being one of the few Seniors who went home to lunch, she had a hard time keeping everyone satisfied. We couldn't seem to realize that she was unable to bring the whole ice-box back with her. Her inability to preserve a stage whisper was a source of great anxiety to the “class policeman.” Head of the riding interests, she had charge of the Horse Show, which, from the point of view of many, was the most successful one Northrop has ever had. We might mention that “Ginnie” was annually a member of the hockey, basketball, and the baseball teams. Her name will always be synonymous in our minds with the title of “good sport.” and her popularity wherever she goes will be assured because of this same quality. [ 20 1 The Tatler of 1932 ............. Mary Shaw Chairman of Entertainment Committee She is small, but so is a stick of dynamite.” WHENEVER we speak of “Shaw,” we invariably think of a jokable bundle of pep. If, perchance, an undercurrent of mischief and deviltry is prevalent in the room, you may be sure that little Mary has had a hand in it. Her athletic skill is the envy of us all. while the dance team, composed of Mary and “Knobby.” affords great amusement for our Senior recesses. Due to her exalted position as Chairman of the Entertainment Committee, we have ■Shaw’' to thank for the especially jolly school parties which we have all enjoyed so much this year. We feel confident that Mary will find some unique activity to be champion of at college, thus upholding the reputation for originality which she has won at Northrop. 1 21 ] The Tatler of 1932 miniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiuiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiinniiiiiiiiuiiniiiuiimimmiiiiiiiiiimiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiui Eleanor Smith “So young and yet so wise!” ELIE” or “Smitty” (she answers to both) has been a petite, but indispensable part of the class since fourth grade. Upon “Knobby’s” arrival there began a feud as to which one was the shorter. At last “Elie” has been outdistanced and has become, unquestionably, our smallest member. If it were not for the uncanny insight into the ambiguity of algebra and her patience in giving explanations in history. I’m sure much of these subjects would remain shrouded in mystery for many of us. Part of her duties, the collection of locker fines from avaricious classmates, might well have exhausted a huskier person. Altogether. “Smitty” is essential to the fun. the fights, and the fervent studies of this year's Seniors. No higher praise could be accorded to anyone. I 22 1 The Tatler of 1932 ................................iiiiiitimimiiiiiimiiiimiiiimuiiiimiiiii........... Peggy Thomson Content to follow where we lead the way.” PEGGY made our acquaintance in fifth grade, and except for a year's trial of California, has been a universally beloved member of our class ever since. During study periods, she may usually be glimpsed reclining with truly Thom-sonian grandeur on the one much-coveted couch, a subdued double for Janet Gaynor in the pose of the model concentrating senior. Peg’s flare for translation has gained for her the admiration of the rest of the French B strugglers. while the enchanting elves and damsels that she causes to come into evidence on every available scrap of paper are the star number on the Senior room program of entertainment.

That one small head could carry all she knew.” WHERE would our class have been without Evelyn? Many the day that she has faithfully represented the Seniors at Sports'' with lone dignity. While most of us live in dread of the morning tardy bell, Evelyn's slate is clear of tardinesses. She is always safely ensconced in our Senior stronghold while the bulk of the class are still running breathlessly down the back hill. The case with which she surmounts the most colossal assignments in a truly phenomenal manner is the envy of all her classmates. We predict innumerable Phi Beta Kappa Keys and reverently offered degrees for the greatest rock of wisdom” of whom we of '32 are glad to be able to boast. 1 24 ] The Tatler of 1932 .................................. iiitmiaiiiutiiimiimiuiMiMiNm Class of 1932 Mary Knoblauch Georgiana Adams Adele Gluek - • Lella Hopwood - President Secret ary-T reasurer Class Representative Class Representative Upon Becoming a Senior When we have passed the kindergarten stage. And outgrown socks and ribbons on our hair, We find ourselves upon that glorious age Which we, when young, believed had not a care. We oft did dream that we had reached this state, And pictured how with reverence and awe The younger girls would hold the door, and wait Till we had passed before—it was a law. But now that we have really climbed up here, We find it’s not so different after all: Because the teachers more than ever fear We won’t be good examples in the hall. But then, when we recall our grade school days, We find we're better off in many ways. —Mary Knoblauch.

And so to recess where we did don heavy coats, descend the stairs, and huddle around the radiator until the bell rang. And thence to English and History where did recite feebly, if at all.

Miss Pease soon arrived and obliged us by playing some popular songs for dancing which kept up for an hour or so. The shrill noise of a whistle suddenly resounded throughout the room and everyone was quiet. Line up. was the command then heard. Number in threes.” We formed circles for playing Three Deep in which several teachers joined us. Another blast of the familiar whistle and we were told to get chairs and sit down, for the Valentines were to be distributed. Mrs. Burns and Miss Pease surprised everyone by giving delicious heart-shaped lollypops to us. while Miss Hawley furnished some crunchy salted peanuts. Laughs, howls, and thank-you's were ringing in everyone's ears. Then came sad news. We were to pick up the untidy room. Our job was soon completed, and we gathered in several groups bound for the lunch room. There we were greeted with ice cream and cake covered with frosting nearly an inch thick. In the neighborhood of five o’clock everyone slowly walked towards homeward-bound cars and an evening of study. BELIEVE IT OR NOT Janey had a good Latin lesson for one whole week! Ruth Clare Briggs and Sara Lee had six fights through the year and then gave up fighting for Lent!

There we saw the Christ Child. Mary. Joseph, the Shepherds, the Three Wise Men. very much as they must have been that first Christmas so many years ago. The play was both given and received with the utmost reverence by the entire school in the presence of many parents and friends. All those who witnessed it were filled with the deepest admiration for Miss Carse. who not only wrote the play herself but carried on the tremendous task of staging the performance and directing the elaborate music in which the entire school participated. Thanks should also be given to Mrs. Foulstone and Miss Shomler for assistance in staging, and to Miss Morrison. Miss Erikson. Miss Rosemond. Miss Wilson and Miss Williams, who helped with the music. All in all. the Christmas play this year was a beautiful and long-to-be-remembered thing. May the spirit of Christmas ever be with Northrop school.

THE PSALM OF ART I. Alma Mater, who shall abide in years to come as the greatest artists the world has known? Who shall have the world sit at their feet? She that entered Northrop school in the fall of 1932 and worked diligently and studied many dreadful subjects. She that slacked not till she reached the end of the year nor even then shirked her work. Yea. even she that took up the burden of Latin and Algebra and flunked not. II. The art master tried the pupils but only the intelligentsia proceeded to progress in the noble art of painting. And yea—even then Math and French waylaid the artists to distract them. Even so Biology lay in wait to catch the unwary and pursued the brilliant with many fierce questions. Then the chaff was separated from the wheat and the chosen ones did then take their seats at the feet of the great master. And alack! came the day for the exhibit, and lo! there were many paintings of great worth. However the thorny English problems did harass the way. The tribulations of selecting the best paintings did cause much hair pulling on all sides and the master developed many wrinkles. And yea. even when all hope was abandoned came the day for the exhibit. And the paintings were like so many butterflies, so filled were they with color and thoughtful planning. And yea. the sheepskins were distributed and with much weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth, since honorable award was given only to the more adept ones. The losers sadly betook themselves back to study some more and the victors proudly carried their prizes home to fond parents. Selah! HO] The Tatler of 1932 ............................ THE DANCE PROGRAM N Friday evening. April 22. members of the Junior and Senior High School presented a program of creative and interpretive dancing under the direction of Miss Shomler. Skill in costume and design combined with truly gifted dancing made the evening an unusual success. Miss Shomler herself appeared before the footlights in two numbers, showing such talent and ability that we were all tremendously impressed. The program was planned to give wide variety, from the merry Barn Dance of the Junior school and the hilariously received Cakewalk of the Seniors to the high artistry of creative expression which filled the greater part of the evening. Among so many beautiful dances it is hard to single out certain ones for mention. “After the Ball. “Caprice. and “Quest charmed with their delicate beauty. “Bondage. “In the Temple.” and “Prayer” brought out deeper emotions with telling effect. But perhaps the most haunting pictures left in mind were those of the floating white figures of the Arensky Valse. in which Miss Shomler participated, and the final group of three dances: the strangely moving “Take Away the Darkness. the exquisite “Tango, and the fascinating Spanish Dance. Perhaps the greatest encouragement of the elective dancing class came from those parents who expected a dull amateur performance, but who so completely changed their minds as to take with them a permanent impression of a finished and beautiful piece of work. Thanks are due to Miss Wilson and Miss Rosemond for the accompaniments. Needless to say. the proceeds were more than enough to cover the expense of our new curtains, which in themselves added greatly to the stage effects of the program, and to leave a satisfactory remainder for the treasury of the Senior Class, who took charge of the ticket selling. 1 41 I The Tatler of 1932 ASSEMBLY PROGRAMS DURING the year there have been many excellent assembly programs, showing a pleasing variety of dramatics, informal talks by the girls, addresses by speakers of note, and educational films. Several of the assemblies have been made exceptionally entertaining by the giving of dramatized scenes and plays, many commemorating the various holidays. The Armistice Day play. Fiat Lux.’' was admirably given by Seniors and Freshmen. On Washington's Birthday the eighth grade dramatized a scene from the life of the great general. The third grade gave several picturesque tableaux to remind us of the first Thanksgiving. During Bookweek in November. Miss Inglis and the girls of the English department gave several scenes in play form from the books which had been read by the various classes. This year two of the classes also gave selections from Shakespeare. On April 8. the Freshmen gave an amusing scene from their readings in “Twelfth Nightand on May 6. a day after the cast had seen Maude Adams and Otis Skinner in their famous production, the Sophomores presented the Trial scene from “The Merchant of Venice.’’ A group of informal talks by the girls have also stimulated interest in our assemblies. In October an Edison Program was given, emphasizing the effects of his inventions on our daily life. During the city-wide drive the girls of the High School gave talks urging the school to increase its subscription to the Community Fund. Miss Sadley organized an interesting celebration of the anniversary of Lewis Carrol, at which many of us were surprised to learn that the creator of our beloved Alice was a mathematics professor. In April the members of the seventh form told us many delightful episodes from the history of our own state. The girls of the sixth form, under the direction of Miss Lane, chose April 6 as an appropriate date on which to give their interesting talks on wild birds, illustrated by colored slides. A group of Latin students from Miss Brewer's classes also gave a unique program of quoted Latin with the translations they had prepared. Miss Hawley superintended the travel talks on another day. From time to time during the year many speakers of note have talked to the school on a wide range of subjects. In early October Dr. Richard Raines gave the first of his interesting talks on Current Events. On his next visit to the school Dr. Raines brought with him an extremely entertaining guest. Dr. T. H. Hsieh of Boston, who captivated us all with his charming oriental manner as he spoke with dear understanding of situations in his native China. Dr. Foster, professor of economics at Harvard, came to the school during April and introduced us all to this fascinating subject by speaking on the depression. Later Mrs. Robbins Gilman showed us the effects of the depression upon working girls here in Minneapolis. On April 13. Dr. Raines again spoke, concluding this splendid group of talks. Movies sent out by the various colleges have proved advantageous as well as entertaining and have aided many of us in choosing the college we wish to attend. All in all this year has been one of very different and entertaining assembly programs, covering a wide range of activities and interests.

Margaret Noonan placed first in the opening event, the lower school equestrian, with Frances Mapes and Mary Davis as second and third. In the beginners' class and junior equestrian. Elizabeth Holmberg took the blues, followed by Frances Mapes and Elizabeth Lucker in the former, and Shirley Bachus and Katherine Rand in the latter. The bareback, three-gaited. and pair classes were won by the same girls who were victorious in these events last year: Janet Bulkley, Barbara Scriver. and lone Kuechle and Barbara Scriver respectively. The seconds and thirds in these classes were: bareback—Peggy Rutherford. Betty Carey: three-gaited—Margaret Noonan. Katherine Rand: pairs—Margaret Noonan and Katherine Rand. Barbara Brooks and Peggy Davis. In the senior equestrian lone Kuechle yielded the blue to Janet Bulkley. but acquired with ease the second place. Mary Knoblauch was third in this division. The pony class was won by Katherine Rand, who was followed by Betty King and Martha Pattridge. It was with regret that the five-gaited class was omitted from the program, and we hope that next year we shall have enough horses in this division to merit its replacement on the list of events. The judges of this year's show were: Mr. Charles Guyer. Mr. William Hindle, and Mr. J. S. Burke. Miss Mary Eaton again assisted as ring mistress. The tea in the auditorium was the finishing touch of another glorious horse show. [45 ] The Tatler of 1932 FENCING SECRET whisperings were heard throughout the corridors of Northrop school. Eager expectation ran riot in all the class rooms. Anticipations had reached the zenith, so tense was the feeling of the unusual. “What's it all about?” you ask. “Why for goodness sake, where have you been all these years? The notice has been posted on the bulletin board for four days now. Yes, that’s right, we're to have an honest - to - goodness fencing master—right here at Northrop!” “Whoops, my dear! You don't really mean it?” “Every word of it. The prospective master came to assembly and stirred the flame of interest in the ancient and honorable art of fencing. We might also add that he stirred up a few throbs in the hearts of his appreciative audience. Duly the classes were formed and the lessons got under way through the able management of Mr. Orest Meykar. Many of us stylish stouts went in to lose a few pounds, others to gain a slinky vampire-like poise, while still others for pure pleasure. So may fencing long be enjoyed at Northrop.

Those not actually participating in the games vigorously cheered their respective teams from the sidelines and this certainly proves that Miss Erikson. our new athletic director, has made a very successful season for us all. The tournament games were played off during the weeks of March 6 to 10 and 13 to 16. The final game between the Seniors and Sophomores took place Thursday evening. March 1 7. when the Senior class crashed through with a lead of two points over the Sophomores. The season was also enlivened by the games which the alumnae played versus the three upper classes. The alumnae were beaten by the Seniors and Sophomores.

Green and white balloons adorned the walls, while green shamrocks, streamers, and candles beautified the tables, which were arranged in a horseshoe curve. During dinner. Mrs. Patterson led us in some singing, of which “Around Her Neck She Wore a Yellow Ribbon’’ proved to be the most popular. (At least, for a certain class.) Afterwards we were entertained by two vivacious choruses which were a great success, much to the relief of Ginnie and Puffy, the two famous coaches. The basketball game between the Sophomores and Seniors began at eight o’clock. Both teams fought desperately, and between halves a clever clog was given by the Freshmen to the tune of “The Sidewalks of New York.” During the second half the tournament was exceptionally exciting with all the players working hard. Finally the whistle blew ending the game with a close score of seventeen to nineteen in favor of the Seniors, the undefeated champions. 148 ] The Tatler of 1932 «iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiHiiiiniiiiiiHiiuiiiuiiiiiNiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimmmuiuiimiiiimiiiiiimiiiinuaiiiHiiiiiuiiimiiiiiiiiiiH N September twenty-fifth the old girls’ party for the new was carried out under a new plan. This year a buffet supper was given, with the Seniors serving us from behind a well-laden table. Though the Seniors may have felt a bit overworked, the rest of the school seemed to like the new idea immensely. After supper when everyone was just in the proper mood, the stunts were given more hilariously than usual, if that were possible. We were fairly convulsed by the grotesque antics of our dear teachers in their series of esthetic dances, one of which showed us the trials and tribulations of a faculty meeting depicted in the manner of the “Refugees. Next the Freshmen gave the wedding of a tiny groom and his powerfully built wife. The blushing bride carried a bouquet of cabbages and carrots. The Sophomores then showed us our country ten years from now. in year twelve of the depression. The chief point of the Juniors' amusing stunt. “Parlor. Bedroom, and Bath. seemed to be the joys of reading in the bathtub. Last, and perhaps best of all. was the Senior stunt. “The Melodramatic Adventures of Genevieve, the Governess which reduced us all to howls of laughter. Between stunts we danced to the excellent music provided by a victrola. The entire evening was a success. We sincerely hope that the buffet supper will become as much of a school tradition as the party itself. THE first League Dance took place the twenty-fifth of November. Appropriate to the season, the auditorium was decorated with pumpkins, autumn leaves, and cornstalks, while the deep maroon of the curtains afforded a striking contrast. We danced to the melodious saxophonic strains of Ted Steven’s orchestra, a new treat for our guests. The success of this party reflected great credit on the Entertainment Committee, and left us with a pleasant anticipation of the parties to come.

This occasion was chiefly notable for the impressive addition of fruit punch. Probably this has established another worthy precedent for school parties to follow. The wildly vociferous applause which greeted the fatal stroke of midnight was ample enough proof of the evening's success.

A hush, and the wind ripples by; Slowly the shadows creep on with the dew: Passes the day without murmer or sigh. The willows throw shadows of queenly grace: The interwoven leaves are their skirts of lace: The old gnarled oak on top of the hill Casts a mysterious shadow, sinister and still. The evening turns slowly to twilight. And twilight soon fades into dawn. Yet ever, ever silently through the night The shadows steal relentlessly on. —Louise Chandler. Form Nine. A STORM ON SHIPBOARD HOWLING, whistling, screaming, the wind tosses the big ocean liner about as if it were a nutshell. The rain pours down. The lightning zig-zags across the sky. rending the heavens asunder on spikes of flame. The thunder crashes and breaks overhead in wild turmoil as Thor wields his mighty hammer again and again. Crash! Madame, oh Madame, what is happening? I am so frightened. Crash! Hush Mariette. It is nothing. Only a storm. It will soon be over. Crash! Oh. Mon Dieu! What have I done to be punished like this? The little French maid sinks on her knees and prays fervently. Crash! The sailors sleep peacefully. A loud snore is just dying down. Crash! The ship gives a terrific lurch. Crash! Four sailors seem literally to fly through the air. Bump! Bump! Bump! Bump! Four loud oaths wake the rest. One sailor gets up and tries to stagger to his hammock. Crash! He loses his balance and clutches at the first thing in the dark. It happens to be a small shelf on which reposes a tin shaving mug. two cakes of soap, a razor, a photograph, a book, and a water glass. Crash! The sailor, the shelf, and its contents come tumbling down in a crash that equals the thunder. More oaths. The unfortunate man crawls on hands and knees back to his hammock. Laughter follows him. mocking him for his clumsiness. Crash!

They are mountains high. Crash! The thunder mingles with the screaming of the wind, with the rushing of the rain, and with the mad. wildly beautiful patterns of lightning. Crash! Wild disorder everywhere. The floor covered with belongings. Crash! A blanketed mound in the bed trying vainly to keep from sliding on the floor. A loosely fastened porthole on the other side of the stateroom flies open and a deluge of water pours in. Crash! The man sits up in bed and looks in disgust at the open porthole and the water soaked room. Crash! He staggers across the floor and closes the porthole, getting a good ducking for it. Crash! He sits down hard and looks about him in surprise. Crash! The floor tilts crazily and he is flung across the room. As he clutches at his bed. he is flung again into the middle of the floor. Crash! He cannot regain his feet. Suddenly the funny side of it strikes him and he starts to laugh. It will be a good story to tell his family when he gets home. Crash! The thunder rumbles and mutters. It grows louder and louder. Crash! The huge waves rise higher and higher and suddenly sink into a deep valley of swirling water. Again the heavens are torn apart by the mad designs of the lightning. The wind whistles through the air with the speed of a rocket. The rain obscures the liner from sight. Crash! The thunder, the lightning, the rain, the wind, and the waves are wild tonight. Crash! The fury of the elements holds dominion over all. —Nancy Lou Mackai.l, Form Nine. THE SONG OF THE SEA SHELL What do I hear as I place my ear To the sea shell’s pearly cup? I hear the toll of the waters that roll As Neptune stirs them up. I hear the roar of the waves on the shore As they're churned to a snowy foam: I hear the wail of the wind in the sail That drives the good ships home. I hear the sighs of the heart that cries For the sailors lost at sea. But loudest of all I hear the call Of the sea that beckons me! —JANF.T BULKLEY, Form Twelve. 1 55 1 The Tatler of 1932 A CHAPTER ON NOSES I HAVE no nose. Now, please do not be led so far astray as to think me a freak, lacking some necessary feature, for in truth, like Monsieur dc Bergerac, I have more than enough of this appendage to be grateful for. And. in respect to this external organ, it has really quite a keen sense of smell. Why, the moment I enter a house, it tells me with remarkable perception whether onions or cauliflower be simmering in the pot. And though I were blind I am sure I could discriminate between a florist’s shop and a bakery. So, as you may easily tell, my nose in the flesh is not at all deficient in quality and— shall I say quantity? Therefore, now that I have set your mind at rest. I can proceed at leisure to explain the thought underlying my statement. T hat is—I have no nose for news. It seems a startling acknowledgment to make, docs it not. especially since I have lived in a newspaper family for a good many years. That in itself, you say. ought to be inspiration enough to set me seeking out news stories or at least recognizing them at sight, but alas. I am afraid this last is a gift at birth which some of us fail of obtaining. If a normal human being were to enter a house of journalistic instinct and newspaper attachments, he would find nothing extraordinarily amiss: but let him dwell within the portals of such an establishment for upward of twenty-four hours, and he will come away having either acquired the news habit or gone mad. And that merely from the electricity which pervades the air, the sparkle, the excitement, and. to an outsider, the glamour. The telephone rings—a complaint to be taken care of: again—what! another misprint in your deceased husband's name? No. madam, it will not happen again: another ring—ah. a story. Where did you get it? Can you verify it? Thank you. We ll check up on it tomorrow for print. And so on and on all through the night in a private home! How true that there is no rest for the reapers and gleaners of news. But this thrilling atmosphere, though not entirely lost on me. still does little to inspire that talent for smelling out a front page scoop which is so necessary to a competent reporter. So this nose, this instrument of curiosity, though not utterly disagreeable to view, has—it may be noticed from contemplation of the profile—a decided upward tilt toward the anterior extremity which is absolutely unheard of in journalistic circles and which, oh sad to tell, will probably throughout my life prevent me from joining the army of quidnuncs who have made a success of life because of their possession of a nose for news —GeorGIANA Adams, Form Twelve. I 56 j The Tatler of 1932 ............. NO LAMENT You died. And they donned black clothes and rode in a long procession Of black cars, and buried you. And wept. I put on a scarlet sweater. And climbed the hill. The wind surged across the summit, howling, mad. Over head the clouds swept by. Under my feet I felt the cool, fresh ground; the clean soil. There I heard in the wind’s song your voice And saw in the cloud’s softness your face. I felt your dust in the living earth. I am nearer you with my hills T han they with their sorrow and tears. —Betty Carey. Form Ten. “A POPULAR FALLACY” A good way to forget today’s sorrows. Is by thinking hard about tomorrow’s. —Ogden Nash. The road of life is dotted with sorrows, loneliness, financial loss, bereavement. A weak-minded man can make himself miserable by brooding over inconsequential calamities and insignificant disasters of daily occurrence. Don’t make yourself abject over today's sorrows: worry about tomorrow's and you'll forget today’s. Coming mishaps cast their shadows before, but if you can’t think of any personal griefs, ask your friends. They’ll have several to spare. What are friends for, but to provide you with their troubles when your own supply is low? The following are appropriate examples of the point I wish to convey. If you don't like beef and you have it for dinner today don’t fret, but think about how unappetizing it will taste tomorrow in the hash. If you fail an important exam today, be nonchalant, and worry about the College Board you’ll flunk tomorrow. Look at the worst aspect of the immediate future cynically and be incredulous of good fortune. In short, be a skeptic, through and through. No one enjoys a skeptic but that will be your first great sorrow. You’ll forget it, when you realize that as time goes on, your skepticism will turn to downright pessimism. You will go from bad to worse, and a gloomy time will be had by a11' —Eleanor Smith, Form Twelve. 1 57 ] The Tatler of 1932 iniiiMliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiliiniuiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiliiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiniiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiintiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiBiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiniilimni IF HOMER HAD KNOWN THE NOBLEST OF HIS RACE To thee. Oh Muse of ancient lore. I pray For blessing on this task. Now help. 1 beg. T his humble tongue to sing the praise of him They rightly call the noblest of the Greeks. Mayhap you know of him of whom I speak. He lived in ancient Athens long ago. He was not handsome, beautiful or strong: No store of riches was possessed by him. Yet greater was his gift than all of these. A mind he had so clear, so keen and pure That still his teachings are among the best Of all that we have now. He taught to know Thyself is better than to know the world. By means of clever questionings he brought To men this inner light, and showed to each How really small his store of knowledge was. He said that vice is ignorance, and tried To show to all their duty to the state. His was a great adventure in the realms Of purest thought, yet few there were Who clearly understood his true desire. They called him then a menace to the state Which he himself was trying to uphold. A trial was held in which he pleaded well His cause, but all to no avail. And then. As ever, folly triumphed over wisdom And to the bitter death he was condemned. Perhaps the best days of his life were just Before his death. No fear or dread he knew. Me passed the time in quiet talk with friends, Nor shuddered as he took the fatal drink. Great was his death as great his life had been. Oh. Muse, know now his name was Socrates Whose praise I have so artlessly set down. —Katherine Boynton, Form Ten ( 58 i The Tatler of 1932 MinNiilitiiiiilililMMiililiiiniiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiMMHMiiMiiuiMiiiiniiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinninMiiHiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiillimimilimMiuiimiiiiiiiiiiuiiiH SONNET ON A SMALL BABY O sweetest bundle of delicious mirth. Star-eyed, red-lipped, skin soft as any peach. How came you here within our eager reach? What blessed fortune brought one of your worth To us? Unfold the mystery of your birth! But I forget, you know not yet the speech Of mortals, who will all too early teach. With painful lisp, the coarse tongue of this earth. Nay. then. I know the answer; it is thus: God sent you down from heaven with a band Of holy angels to watch over us. And with your dimpled smile and chubby hand. Restrain us from all evil. harm, and sin: Beholding you. we catch a glimpse of Him. —Mary Fisher. Form Twelve TO MY MOTHER'S EYES My Mother's eyes, soft beacons of her love. Aglow forever with the sweet intent Of shielding me from harm, as He above Is said to thwart all those on evil bent. Are shining promises of constant trust. A never-ending pledge of faith supreme; My petty shams disintegrate to dust Before their penetrating kindly beam: My tiny triumphs, long or instant brief. Lie imaged in those guarding tender eyes: My every sun-lit joy and shadowed grief Is felt by her who best can sympathize: In striving to deserve that look’s respect. I'll miss the rocks where other lives lie wrecked. —Rosemarie Gregory, Form Twelve. 1 59 ] The Tatler of 1932 AN ANGEL WALKED ABOUT THE EARTH— An Angel walked about the earth, And'gathered up the fragments of love. Shattered on life’s pavements. A vase, a shrine he created. With a design so intricate That all the lost love of the world was there regained: The pearly bits of friendship, Dark borders of great passions spent, The delicate pastels of motherhood. The pure blue of two souls who might have risen Glorified one unto the other: And in it he placed the sweet essence Of loves that were realized. Then with the pale light of morning it was blessed. And there arose the soul of Christ. —Jane FansLER. Form Twelve. FAIRIES In the stillness of the night Fairies come from all around To the ring of pale moonlight Where they dance without a sound. High above them shines the moon, Watching with her myriad stars, Listening to the silvery tune Of the miniature guitars. Dancing through the dear cool night, Till the sun peeps up to say, “Fly you quickly out of sight—“ So they vanish from their play. —Penelope Paulson, Form Nine. 1 60 ] The Tatler of 1932 iiuiiiuiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiniiminitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuuiiiiiimiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiininiMMnmuitNiwiiiiiimniulHiiiuiiiHiiiiuMuiiiuiiiiiMiiiMiiiiiMiiiiiuiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMni SIXTH FORM SPRING Lasses dancing on the hills. In among the lilies’ frills. Children playing on the grass Bluebirds flying in a mass. Leaves are coming. Oh. so green. Prettiest sight you've ever seen. Cherry blossom's dainty pink Spring is coming! (so you think.) Cowslips with their mellow hue. Blending with the light sky-blue. While lambkins have a springtime spree, A mother sheep came up to me And said. “The grass is coming. Oh. so green. Prettiest sight you've ever seen.'' —Victoria Payne. WINTER Along the snow the sunbeams glide. Earth is a pretty gleaming bride. Sparkling with diamonds, clad in white, No bride was ever so fair and bright. —Mary Campbell. THE WIND The wind is dashing through the air, Here and there and everywhere. He makes the trees bow down their heads, And makes us shiver in our beds. He calls seahorses from the sea. For the wind is our friendly enemy. Sometimes he’s cold and fierce and strong. Sometimes he’s hot and makes the day long. He blows away papers, he blows them back. He swishes cows' tails, and blows down our shack. And blows things in our faces so we cannot sec, For the wind is our friendly enemy. —Jeannette Gluek.

I know Nancy will take me. said the skiis. “She will not. interrupted the skates; “of course she will take me. “Nancy’s taken me almost every time this winter, so there,“ answered the skiis. “She says she gets a big thrill out of me. The skates replied, “On skiis children can only slide and jump, but on skates they can race and play games such as hockey.” “Oh. well. answered the skiis. “wait. Here she comes. She will choose one of us. and we shall see. Nancy entered the room and exclaimed. Oh. dear. I am sick and tired of these stupid skates and skiis! I think 1 shall take this new toboggan, it is such fun. —Carolyn Hoi.lern. CHRISTMAS EVE Children's voices faded in the distance. They had just finished trimming the Christmas tree. Well, that’s that.” sighed a long, thin Santa Claus. Those children thought they did all the work. Why. if we hadn’t let them put us on. there wouldn't have been much of a tree. Such ignorance! Tisk, tisk. tisk! “I agree with you completely, but. after all. you can't expect too much of humans, you know.” and a little yellow bird wagged his head, knowingly. “Yes. aren't they queer? exclaimed a little blue ball eagerly. All oblong, with four things sticking out at each corner, and a round thing on top. And it tittered audibly. “Oh. I don’t know: they aren't really so bad once you know them. They’re very interesting, and they’ve got good hearts. My. but it’s nice to get out of those cramped quarters. and an icicle yawned and stretched. “Cramped quarters! What do you mean? exclaimed a bit of tinsel. I like it here. “Just a minute and I'll tell you. said the icicle assuming a know-it-all air. “After Christmas we get put in a box and taken down to the basement till next year. You wouldn’t know, for you were just bought yesterday. “Why are you so quiet. Golden Star-That-Knows-All? asked the long, thin Santa Claus. “You haven't said a word. The Golden-Star-That-Knows-All smiled wearily from the top of the tree. “I was thinking,” she said in a sweet, silvery voice, “I was thinking of the Wise Men and the Shepherds, and ah—the Babe, on that wondrous night so long ago when angels sang, when angels sang— and the Golden Star fell deep into revery again. For a long time no one spoke, but at last an orange electric Light Bulb exclaimed. “Listen! I hear bells. What are those two funny things sticking out of the fireplace? Why! Bless me! They are boots. It’s a little old man. “That’s me all over again, cried the long, thin Santa Claus. The little man turned around. “Well. well. How are you tonight, my friends?” said he. “I’m leaving you some company.” and he put some toys and books under the tree. Then up the chimney and away he went. “I’m tired,” said the tinsel. “I'm going to sleep. “So am I! So am I!” sang out the rest, and soon all was quiet in the big room. —Peggy Hedback. 163 ] The Tatler of 1932 [ 64 ] The Tatler of 1932 liitiltiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiinMiliililiiiiiiiiitiiiiiHliiMiinliiiiiiiiiuiiiiliMiiiiiitiiMiiiiiiiiiuiimmiiiiimiiuiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniimiiiiiniiiiiniMiiiiiiiiiinmniiiiimiiiimimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiuini FOURTH FORM THE BAD LITTLE BEAR THH six little bears who lived at Mrs. Furry's boarding school were all good except Peeky. Peeky was bad. “I say, you other little bears,” he cried one morning as he jumped out of bed. I am going to be extra naughty today. It is much more fun than being good. Why should Mrs. Furry say we must not do this and not do that? I am going to do just as I like. What do you think of that? Ha. ha. ha.” His friends were all shocked. Each little bear of Mrs. Furry's was supposed to make his own bed. but Peeky did not. He skipped around and laughed at the others. When he went down stairs he ran all the way. although they were supposed to walk. When they came into the dining room. Peeky saw a note on the wall. It said. “Little bears must not stand on their heads.” What do you think Peeky did? Why he stood on his head. After breakfast Mrs. Furry said to them. I am going to give you a holiday. But first I want you to go over to Mrs. Longear's and get me some honey.” So after breakfast they went over to Mrs. Longear's. On the wav to Mrs. Longear’s. Peeky sang this little song: “Some little bears are very polite. Other little bears are cheeky: But the bear who is bad from morn till night Is Peeky. Peeky. Peeky!” When they got there Peeky went over to the beehive. The bees came out and stung him on the nose. The other little bears had to take him in to Mrs. Longear. They took him home in a wheelbarrow. Peeky never went near a beehive again. _ANNE R[chards_ SALLY SNOW FLAKE I WAS a little snow flake. I was proud and beautiful. Everyone admired my beautiful pattern, so I thought I would go to some other land and let the children there see how pretty I was. I thought I would go with Mr. North Wind. When he came along I called to him. I asked him if he would give me a ride to Minnesota. He said he would be glad to. So I jumped on his wide back and off we went to Minnesota. I had a hard time holding on. but we finally got there. I jumped off and landed in a school yard. Some children and a teacher with some paper were standing on the steps. They were catching snowflakes. I thought I would let them look at me and see how pretty I was. They took me inside and it was very hot. I could hear the children exclaim. “Look at that big snow flake. She is so pretty.” They were just going to pick me up when I melted into a drop of water! Poor, proud Sally Snow Flake, proud ? What else could she expect for being so —Jeanne Broach. 1 65 I The Tatler of 1932 .....................miiiimmimiimiiimiimmimi.. THIRD FORM THE NASTURTIUM SEED (A poem by the Third Form after planting nasturtium seeds) The Nasturtium has a wrinkled seed. As if it would never grow; It looks so old and gray, indeed. As if it died some years ago. But in it is a little flower. For. when I put it in the ground. With sun and rain and summer shower. It grows until a plant is formed. NASTURTIUMS Nasturtiums are so bright and gay. I look at them the livelong day, And when they seem to look at me. They nod their heads in happy glee. —Mary Davis.

The Tatler of 1932 “IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE” MY Big Ben Alarm Clock awakes me with a ring which is supposed to make me glad to leave the comfortable warmth of my Simmons Bed. After slipping my feet into a pair of Daniel Green Comfy Slippers, I fold up my North Star Blanket and enter my bathroom, designed by Crane. First I drink a cup of clear Chippewa Water, that admirable beverage so often used to refresh our over-worked football players: then Dr. West’s Tooth Brush and Kolynos (it keeps them white!) do a fine job on the teeth and. incidentally, on the pink tooth brush. After a good gargle with Lavoris, a bar of Palmolive Soap helps to preserve my school-girl complexion. Dressing swiftly in B. V. D.s, Blue Moon Stockings. Enna-Jettick Shoes, and a Pin Money Frock. I look at my Elgin Wrist Watch and hasten to a breakfast of Cream of Wheat. Carnation Cream from contented cows, and Atwood's Request Coffee, listening meanwhile to a Crosley Radio singing the praises of Wheaties. After breakfast, as I sink into a Creation by Levin and have a few minutes to be kind to my throat with a Lucky. 1 pick up a Saturday Evening Post and read of the comforts of the Pacific Coast Train, the Oriental Limited. At a time signal broadcast from Bulova watch. I throw on my Rothmoor Coat and drive my Buick automobile out through the Beeman Sliding Doors of my Sifo-Quad shingled garage. With a tank full of Phillips 66 Gas. I wend my way to school making good use of my Burd Piston Rings as I go along. In the Linoleum floored hall of the college I meet a professor smoking a White Owl (five cent) Cigar, and flaunting a new Style-Built suit, an Arrow Collar, and a Gordon Hat. After a morning of uneventful classes I lunch amply on Campbell's Vegetable Soup, a “slenderizing salad with Gold Medal Dressing, and a piece of Grennan’s Cake. One more class, and then I speed over Macadamized Roads to the beauty parlor where I receive a Marchand's Golden Hair Wash and have an opportunity to refresh my appearance with Kissproof Lipstick and Coty Powders. A half hour later as I enter my home. I meet the Hickory-Overalled janitor who has just finished shaking down the Stott Briquets in the furnace. While he endeavors to “keep kissablc with an Old Gold. I hurry into the house to play the Steinway Grand Piano. Then, after a fine dinner, a refreshing Ivory Bath and a brisk rub-down with a Cannon Towel. I jump under my Hudson Bay Blanket and drowse off to the strains of “Good Night. Moon coming over my Crosley Radio. —Ellen Brown. Form Twelve.
