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

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

Amt 2 cmaz Lockrae' Entered 1935 I'll make thee glorious by my pen.' Because it was overheard that she saw Maytime twenty-five times and that her mother saw it but twenty-four, we have elected Lockrae President of the Nelson Eddy Fan Club. This is a strenuous job to say the least and necessitates an annual trip to Arizona. She always comes back from the ranch full of new artistic ideas which greatly help her job as chairman of the Committee on the Arts and art editor of the Tatler. Quietly knitting angora sweaters (seven this year) Lockrae often bursts forth with helpful solutions to Senior Room problems. Although Ann has not decided where she will attend school next year, her distinct appreciation of art and music will bring fame to her yet unselected alma mater. 15
