THE WELFARE COMMITTEE In addition to their plea for support issued in the fall, the Welfare Committee—Ellen HuiT, chairman, Katherine Warner. Whitney Burton. Barbara Hill. Gretchcn Luther, Eleanor Stevenson, Ellen Rider, representatives, and Miss Pease, faculty advisor -put on a skit to emphasize their great need and were rewarded by a very successful Northrop Welfare and Community Fund Drive. Just before Thanksgiving the whole school joined in making its offering of food. The meat, fruit, vegetables, and canned goods were carried into chapel by the girls, deposited on decorated tables, and later packed in boxes, and sent to the Family Welfare Association, the Children's Protective Society, anti the Northeast Neighborhood I louse. Clothing was sent to the Frontier Nursing Service in the Kentucky Mountains. At Christmas, the lower school donated to the Holiday Bureau a collection of toys for children of all ages, while the Northrop Welfare sent the usual sums, accompanied by baskets of provisions, to the Family Welfare Society, Children’s Protective Society, and the Northeast Neighborhood House. For the past three years Northrop has provided a certain large family with shoes. During the long period of intense cold this winter, we helped meet the emergency by furnishing coal and the services of a trained nurse to a family suffering from scarlet fever. Our scholarships at Edison High School have again made it possible for three deserving girls to graduate, who otherwise could not have done so. ENTERTAINMENT The entertainment for this year has been most successful under the capable direction of Mary Anna Nash. Two dances were given, one on November twenty-third, the second on April twentv-fifth. The school was turned into a show-boat on Friday, October fourth, for the “Old Girls’ Party for the New, with everybody wearing suitable costumes. Each of the seniors invited a seventh grader and became her escort for the evening. The stunts included a gay Gay Nineties skit by the seniors, a minstrel show by the juniors, an amateur show, a symphony orchestra, and a mystery drama by the tenth, ninth, and eighth grades respectively. The faculty produced two acts including a takeoff of the Northrop Study Hall and one entitled, If Men Played Bridge as Women Do. DEBATING This year for the first time Northrop has brought debating outside the classroom. Martha Pattridge and Peggy Farr represented Northrop in a debate on April first with Clara Bertels and l orrainc Kuzer from North High School. The subject was: Resolved: 1 hat the several states should enact legislation providing for a system of complete medical services available to all citizens at public expense. The debate, an innovation at Northrop, called forth all the oratorical powers of the debaters, who all exercised them so admirably that the final decision was a close one. The North girls, it was decided, however, had more points and won the debate. Miss Rewey Belle Inglis was the critic judge. 1936 TATLER I nfi'ffht
