Vi ufuua lee ••Lee’ Entered 1936 “Why do today what you can put off till tomorrow? Lee’s complicated personality causes our minds to be completely muddled as we attempt to lend our literary abilities, warped as they are at this time of year, to the above unfathomable subject. Ginny is one of those people who possesses the faculty of being gloomy and exasperating, vet cooperative, persevering, friendly, and the laff of the party. Although the Lee’s long, blaclc car often graces the parking space behind the school, more often we see her walking with that lengthy stride, or riding atop her bike. However, in our mind's eye, we picture her in the cockpit of one of those model silver airplanes which hang in graceful beauty along her wall. There are two aspects, however, in which Lee never wavers—her love of music and her prowess in athletics. 13

Ga uaLfM, JiM ut Cooie Entered 1924 A woman hates a question, but loves to ask one. Did anyone take math last year?” We look up into a pair of worried blue eyes and try desperately to recall our last year’s algebra. Cooie’s difficulties are not limited to math, however. We regret to say that during the past year she has been the victim of numerous catastrophes involving dogs, wild bulls (not Ferdinand), and barbed wire fences which have left her legs in a slightly battered condition. Her weaknesses are diets, horses, hikes, and tennis in which she excels. A familiar sight is her smart maroon convertible coupe speeding from Minnetonka to Northrop or vice versa. When Cooie graduates from Northrop, which she has attended since the second grade with the exception of her junior year, she plans to enter Smith College. 12

leAhe Ruthie Entered 1924 —made a thousand friends—and kept them. From the depths of the softest chair in the Senior Room comes a voice: When are you going to clean those saddle shoes? It's Ruthie. admirably fulfiling her duties as President of Northrop League. She is the only senior who can truthfully boast of knowing the school from top to bottom, having entered these ivied walls in the kindergarten. We wonder if Ruthie used to arrive as early in the morning as she does now. The less fortunate members of the class turn slightly green over her chocolate tan gained on her annual spring excursion to Florida. Two of Leslie's chief occupations besides her League duties are knitting millions (Editor's note: no exaggeration) of sweaters and writing ditto number of letters to certain people in the East. All the seniors admire her remarkable powers of concentration, her poise, and her extemporaneous addresses. 14
