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 ............. 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 ................................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.
