★ ALEXANDRA GALLENKAMP Although Alex still longs for the East and New Jersey, which she left a few years ago to take up residence in Minneapolis, our class would not seem complete without her. Her blunt good humor is refreshing, and her humorous characterizations of well known actresses (not to mention our own “portrayable'’ girls), have made many a side-splitting recess period in the senior room. Alex is interested in voice, and began to take lessons to train her lyrical warbles last year. This year her great opportunity came when she was given a lead in our operetta. Ichabod Crane. We will long remember her vivid rendering of the role of Vrou Van Tassel.

★ LESLIE FLANNERY Tritely we shall mention with envy her hair, and classify her among the best dressed women of America. Dolly is always an authority on the latest legal matters and has definite political versions and aversions. She follows the fairways and is an enthusiastic football fan. Sail boats and an island off the coast of Maine are her two weaknesses. Dolly is known in room 29 for her exotic spur-of-the-moment coiffures. We want to compliment her on her vocabulary whose full extent lies in the word “Why? One of the first of our class to wend her way to a dance, she has been a centre of attraction at every party since. Besides her love for music, schooners, and clothes, she has a passion for lobster. She can't bear broken finger nails and over work is apt to upset her. (We might add that she docs it. nevertheless, and with great success.) When Dolly is graduated from Northrop, where she has been taught since the sixth grade, she plans to enter Smith. ☆ 9

★ VIRGINIA HAGLIN Virginia Haglin leads the class in both marks and accomplishments. Most noteworthy of her accomplishments is her dancing: this is the pride of Northrop. She has been featured in nearly every school program since she joined us in the seventh grade. Virginia has an amazing amount of vitality and can be counted on to supply the bulk of our class spirit. Perhaps most characteristic of Virginia is the little black purse containing lipcream and street car tokens which she pulls out of her uniform pocket at some vital point during every class. She has a keen sense of humor and a knack for telling a good story. We envy her invariable thriftiness and knowledge of the best place to find a bargain. She has acted in many plays and held various class positions. She competently fills a position on every basketball and hockey team. Her fame has spread far and wide because of her prize-winning peace essay. Virginia is Editor-in-Chief of this year's TATLER and no more need be said, as the book speaks for itself.
