★ PEGGY PATTON One who can righly be called petite is this quiet yet persuasive member of the senior class. When the class is heatedly discussing a problem, she will usually remain calm until the end. and then she will offer a suggestion which often results in the solution. In sports, horseback riding is one of her achievements, and her gelandesprungs show that she is very much at home on skiis. When aroused, this gentle girl is violent. She knows what she wants when she wants it. (Editor's note—she always get it!) This hard-headedness and determination has made her one of our Dramatic Club’s best managers. On the ballroom floor her feet are famous, and she is always in demand. As an ad-hunter she has been a great aid to the business manager of the TATLER. but a nuisance to our unwilling advertisers. When you see a large maroon Packard approaching, look inside; and if you can just make out the top of a hat above the wheel, you’ll know it is Peg on the way. 14 ☆

BETTY KING The Mrs. Businesswoman of the future has been in Northrop for twelve years. Her efficiency and capability have made her, year after year, a member of business committees and welfare groups. Ever since her grade school days she has been carrying money around and worrying about class dues. Betty is the only girl of our class who has always known what college she wanted to attend, and her honor grades this year will make her a most acceptable candidate for Wells College. Betty's cartoons have always been a constant source of amusement to her classmates. Spare pages in her note books and fly leaves of her text books are full of funny sketches and. lately, surrealistic masterpieces. She is also noted for her original, guaranteed unchangeable brands for ranch horses. Her sympathetic nature makes her a grand person to confide in: and her enthusiastic class spirit has raised the morale of our teams and of our class in general. Betty is the girl who loves an argument. Strong convictions and much practice have perfected her technique—she always wins. Betty is a valuable member of our senior class whom we respect, sometimes fear, and always appreciate. ☆ I

★ PEGGY RUTHERFORD Without Peg. the class of 37 would find one thing definitely lacking. We would never find the spirit of fun and hilarity reaching such a height without Peg to guide us. In her own inimitable way. Peg is very gay. So full of noon hour inspirations is she that we must always be prepared to invert our clothes, or queue our hair at her command. Our often feeble jokes are saved from the depths of despondency by Peg’s spontaneous laughter. In her subtle manner, she presides over the League with great efficiency. Having graced the halls with her presence since the sixth grade. Peg has participated in everything from the ninth grade Hall of Fame, to the annual operettas. Always ready with school spirit, she puts lots of punch in the hockey and basketball games. Here's to Peggy, and may she never lose her grand, optimistic outlook on life. ☆ 15
