THE 1935 TATLER = THE WELFARE COMMITTEE pERHAPS the success of the Northrop Welfare and the Community Fund Drive in the fall was due to the skit that was written by and put on by the Welfare committee: Sally Ross Dinsmore, Twelfth Form; Ellen Huff, Eleventh; Margie Ireys, Tenth; Janet Sandy, Ninth; Louise Piper, Eighth; Amy Camp, Seventh; and Ellen Jane Carleton, chairman. A few days before Thanksgiving everyone from the kindergarten to the seniors marched into chapel bringing canned foods, fresh vegetables, fruits, and meats, which were laid on tables in a colorful display. The food was sorted by members of the Welfare committee and sent to the Northeast Neighborhood House and the Children’s Protective Society. In addition, we gave small sums to the Family Welfare Association, to the Children’s Protective Society, and to Northeast Neighborhood House. Many poor children were made happy at Christmas time by the toys which the seventh and eighth grades brought to school and wrapped for them. A small sum of money was given to one poor family for shoes for their three children, and donations were also given to the Family Welfare Toy Shop and the Northeast Neighborhood House for Christmas presents. Throughout the year two deserving girls from Edison High School have been receiving scholarships from the Northrop Welfare. Psgf 22

THE CHRISTMAS PAGEANT UR Christmas program, planned by Miss Spurr and Mrs. Foulstone, this year showed in pageantry the fulfilment by the birth of Christ of the prophecies of the Old Testament. Around this pageant were woven traditional carols and hymns sung by the school. Brother Hilary, a monk, read aloud from the Bible to a young lad, Christopher. And as Christopher nodded over his lesson, the curtains parted and we saw upon the stage a Rabbinical school, where the pupils spoke together the lines from the Old Testament prophets concerning the coming of the Messiah. Behind them, as the light changed, appeared a lovely tableau representing Sargent’s Frieze of The Prophets. As the curtains closed upon this scene, the school sang, Oh, come, oh, come, Emanuel.” In the fulfilment of the prophecy, the shepherds upon the hills heard the message of the angel and saw the star. To join them in adoration before the Christ Child came the Three Kings, advancing across the auditorium and singing, We Three Kings of Orient Arc.” The final picture was that of the Madonna and Child.
