In a year of war and uncertainties Northrop owes much to the spirit of the SENIORS Maty A Smith Experience is the best teacher. Mary Ann, our class president during what might be called our most spectacular year, has been an inspired leader. Her interest in music, and her gifted voice have made her a mainstay of the Glee Club. As an expert on serious bridge, Mary Ann generously condescends to play with us of less than Culbertson caliber. Despite her abrupt frankness, and dispassionate curiosity, Mary Ann's sense of humor carries her through almost any situation. She has an undying passion for red shoes, and tends to ignore the assets of her comely dimple and her white shoulders. Mary Ann has never found a sufficiently fascinating man, but when she does it will, no doubt, prove interesting. We will all remember Mary Ann for her unique open houses, intriguing brothers, and cold temper which freezes instead of boils. Patricia Clifford Born with the gift of laughter and a sense that the world is mad. Tabu” Vaughn Monroe, and a Florida tan constitute Patsy's three secondary loves. These she pursues with her customary enthusiasm. Her light blue eyes are remarkable for their sparkle, and her ankles for their slimness. Patsy's sense of poise and style surpass our futile attempts at sophistication, but she never seems blase. Pat, our secretary-treasurer, is one of the gayest members of our class, and she regales us with her unique experiences. Her humor seldom fails us, and she is capable of carrying off the most embarrassing situations. Patsy with all her efficient manner accomplishes less than one would suppose. Despite the fact that spelling is her Waterloo, we predict writing of some type for her career. We are amused by Patsy's idiosyncrasies; we laugh at her exaggerated stories; we are drawn into seriousness by her more righteous moods. We will miss her next year—she's fun! Sally At wood Everything has been said.” Sally can always be easily found during her spare time, for if she isn't holding forth at the bridge table, she is elsewhere in the Senior Room engrossed in deep conversation. Her solutions to her friend’s problems are highly respected, as are her literary and musical viewpoints which she utters with profound authority. As the top student in our class scholastically, Sally devotes much of her Senior Room privilege to helping the herd of distraught seniors finish their today's homework.” Sally is most sympathetic, and agrees on most any gripe that one might tell her. One of her greatest assets is her quality of reserve which she exercises in just the proper situations. Our Sal, with her long blond hair, and her shapely legs will make many fast friends at the college of her choice. Dorothy Barnes April came to bloom and never dim December. Fiddle faddle! It's Barnes, the red headed Venus of the class, defying her title of being the most obnoxious girl in the Senior Room. Dorothy, self-appointed captain of our victorious hockey team, may be discovered at most any point in the day tripping down the hall in her white knee highs muttering about how wonderful chapel lines would be if no one talked. During her ten years at Northrop, Dorothy has been a perpetual source of complete amazement to both friends and faculty, because of her unique questions and her fund of obsolete knowledge. Her ability to consume an unlimited amount of food has been forced into hibernation since the new lunch regulations have gone into effect. Above all her idiosyncrasies we will remember Dorothy for her ever ready sense of humor, her effervescent spirit, which is so completely the Barnes we know, and for her kittenish attractiveness. Helen Bennett “Beauty is truth, truth beauty, that is all ye know on earth, and all ye need to know. Helen's originality is apparent in everything about her, even to the point of her health shoes, which must be the solution to her good posture. Her poise and savoire-faire command our respect; somehow she remains cool and level-headed in any situation. Helen’s career in dramatics has included a riotous performance of Mrs. Lynch on a stepladder, the hard-boiled French girl in Letters to Lucerne. and a performance in last year's play at the University. We can't decide whether Helen is more talented in art or in music she plays the piano beautifully, and has supported the alto section of the Glee Club, and of her church choir as well. None of us would have dared sing Gaudeamus with such gusto. Helen loves the outdoors, and is always impatient to get to her ranch in Canada. We're confident that Helen will take her honor marks and cheerful disposition to Mills; and we hope she'll never outgrow those enviable curls. RdllK- Jean Bonell I won a noble fame.” Jean's ability to acquire rights to the seniors' pet red chair is a constant mystery to us all. We marvel at her calm serenity as she quietly studies in the midst of the usual preclass rush. Terminating two successful years in the Senior Glee Club, she became its president this year. Her slim loveliness and constant good humor make her a welcome member of the class at all times. Jean's luxuriant hair can hardly pass without mention, for there are few who do not envy it. Certainly her quiet, easy going nature will make her popular and happy at the college of her choice. Elizabeth Brown Kisses are a better fate than wisdom. From amid the host of seniors hovering over the radiator of an early mom, Chickie may be discovered in that region emitting a series of loud squeaks. Her first greeting consists of, “Did you get any mail yesterday? Did anyone call you up last night? It has long been a controversial question as to whether Chickie is really dumb or not. The ones who uphold the former view, point to her “inane questions in class and her credulous belief in “anythin' that is told her. The other side also has a strong foundation for its beliefs. They point to her intellectual reading, her sincere interests in music and poetry, and her obvious ability at the piano. Ever since her entrance in Northrop, she has been a valuable member of the Glee Club. Not the least of her accomplishments is the ability to raise one eyebrow in an expression often defined as “coy. Chick aspires to Bennington for the following year, and we know that she'll be glad to return to her beloved East. (P r4 a 6ce. Pauletta Callahan Four be the things I'd been better without, love, curiosity, freckles, and doubt. An Irish temper, long eyelashes, a motto of “I'll try anything once, for fun, is in brief, Pauletta. Her lightning calculations and sarcastic wit have stood her in good stead around the bridge table or in the general discussions of the Senior Room 'arguing being Paul's favorite indoor sport). Callahan's obstinancy, extreme moods, and alto monotone have driven us all to thoughts of padded cells and suicide, but in spite of all the evidence, Paul more than redeems herself by a certain whimsical sense of humor. Although her authoritative spirit is rarely shown, when Paul does give a command, it is carried out with awe. Her Millay-like free verse, blues records, and spirit will always remain a senior room tradition. Jean Campbell I love a teeming wit as I love my nourishment. Behold the director of our TATLER board. As vice president in charge of publications. Jean has astounded us all with her cool effciency and the seemingly effortless manner by which she accomplishes her job (We have concluded that she has saved up her store of energy for hilarious attempts at gym push-ups”). This is the more serious side of Jean’s nature. Ordinarily her naive humor brings much enjoyment to the seniors. In chemistry lab, whenever we hear the cry, “Quick, Jean, turn down the flame! we rush to the farthest comer of the room to await the explosion that we know will soon come from her test tube. This is just her notice to the school that she is present, for as usual, she has forgotten to sign the attendance slip. Jean has not yet decided upon the college she will attend, but wherever she goes, she will be as much fun and as well liked as she has been at Northrop. Patricia Conary “She made a thousand friends and kept them. Oh! Do you know what! Patty blithely enters the Senior Room on Monday mornings with a vivid account of the weekend's adventure. Patty is one of the seniors who has not had to spend her Saturday evenings listening to Frank. She leads a very exciting life. In school, Patty has made an outstanding record. She has had high scholastic standards and full Senior Room privileges. Patty has been a most industrious member of the Dramatic Club, and is noted for her excellent bridge playing. Ever since she came to Northrop, she has been the mainstay of the Spanish dass. Patty has always made many friends by her cheerful, friendly manner, and her willingness to help others. Joan Clark A thing of beauty is a joy forever. No one can argue the fact that Joey is one of our class beauties. Who is there who doesn't admire her long black hair and pretty dark eyes? She is one of the few seniors who manages to lead a gay and exciting life in spite of the war. How we envy her Monday morning feeling when we appear bright and rested. Her activities in school included being secretary-treasurer of the Glee Club in her junior year, holding membership on the entertainment committee, and serving as an energetic guard on the senior basketball team. Her amazing amount of pep and even temper, and her constant flow of mail lead one to feel when Joey is in sight others are in total eclipse. Next year she plants to enter Pomona College in California. Ann Col man ”Oh speak not to me of a name great in story, The days of our youth are the days of our glory. 'There came to the making of man, Time with the gift of tears . . and thus our lovable Annie starts a bright new day. When we hear a dull monotone singing Smoke Gets In Your Eyes. we know that Ann has recently received a letter from Oregon. She has always led the forwards in either basketball or hockey, easily distinguished from the rest of us by her huge Andover sweater, “We know she loves it. Ann can never wait for summer, for to her it means deep suntan (the envy of us all). Ann is a constant honor roll student, and she hopes to receive her M.A. at Vassar. Her aesthetic interests are shown in her love of music and dramatics. The thing we love the most about Annie is her childlike enthusiasm punctuated by her expressive eyes, but we don't like to pay her compliments very much 'cause then she'll say, How'd you know? fe Doneth Green “I dreampt I was in love again with the one before the last. If at some time during your attendance at Northrop, you have been startled by a penetrating roar followed by successive, indescribable giggles, we want you to know it was only Doneth in the process of being embarrassed again. (She has been known to hiccup when extremely embarrassed!) This is the one circumstance that can break down, the cool, calm composure for which Doneth is noted, as Doneth has a much respected serious side. She has contributed greatly to the school during her years here. She has always been a valuable member of the hockey and basketball teams, and has added her talents both to the dance club, and to the dramatic club. Doneth has been most efficient and dependable as head of the Red Cross Committee this year, and has set a standard to be followd in the future. Nevertheless, you cannot get a complete picture of the whole by the mere sum of the parts! We like Doneth not because she hiccups, or because she is capable, but just because she's Doneth! Donets Carol Greenu'aldt Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in width. A familiar morning sight is Carol in a comer, hearing what he said last night. Our class confidant promptly and piously forgets all the current gossip which pours into her ears. Known for her large flowers, she is easily distinguished in Glee Club each morning where she has been a staunch supporter of the soprano section for three years. Campbell's right hand man, Carol is always writing space fillers or looking at Taller covers. She is known for her good disposition and ready laugh at even the corniest jokes. We are sure that Carol's sympathy, understanding, and tact will make her as outstanding a member of Wellesley as she has been of Northrop. Laugh and the world laughs with you. Promptly at 8:15 every morning, with a hearty roar (heh! heh!) Ruthie's cheery face emerges from six or seven folds of scarf. Come to Glee Club, Chickie! she calls, and dashes out the door (leaving a size four shoe or two in her wake.) Since she came to Northrop as a sophomore, Ruthie has been an invaluable member of The Taller business staff, as well as the left hand pillar of the Glee Club. Her more amorous contemporaries love her most for her ability to play by ear their favorite torch songs. We have decided that Ruthie's greatest contribution to the class of ‘44 has been as number one morale builder. Without her famous laugh, Monday morning would be hopelessl And, after all, without our Dorothy Dix, where would we ever be? Roma tie Hickersoti would my horse had the speed of your tongue and so good a continuance. “Tra-la-la ... Hi Kids! . . . O what a beautiful morning! Yes, you've guessed it, Hickerson has a date. She immediately starts out on one of her numerous diets which, with her booming alto, have become legends at Northrop. When she isn't spending her time studying chemistry, she is either 1) learning the Lindy, 2) teaching the Lindy, 3) talking about her cooking, or 4) getting a haircut (poor thing). A constant reminder of her artistic talent is the screen in the Senior Room. If she does not get stranded in the North Woods in the meantime. Mills will be lucky to have Romaine's 105 pounds, and the vitality that goes with them. Joy Hickok There was a star that danced, and under that I was bom! Two years ago, Joy came all the way from Connecticut to join our class. She is now one of those lake dwellers who rise with the moon to get to school before chapel begins. This fact explains why Joy comes sleepily into the Senior Room every morning still frantically studying chemistry through half closed eyes. During the day, however, she is continually busy with her extra-school activities. Throughout her years at Northrop, Joy has been a member of the newspaper staff, and has taken part in Public-Relations work. She has been very active in dramatics, and will long be remembered for her comedy roles which are so typical of her. Joy can be recognized anywhere by her long cry of laughter, and her extreme gullibility which provide the class an unending source of amusement. Her jitterbugging has long been our envy and amusement. Her marvelous ability to play any of our requests on the piano is just another example of her versatility. We know that her exuberant spirit and her gaiety will make her many friends in the near future. Mary Ann Hutchinson Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. You are apt to hear Mary Ann breezing into the Senior Room saying, Guess what! I lost five pounds in one week! Her secret—no ice cream, no coke, no potatoes, in fact, no nothing. Our diet enthusiast has the unique distinction of being the only member of the class of '44 to enter Northrop in her senior year. We all look back to our first year at Northrop and marvel at Mary Ann's good marks. As for class spirit, she has done more than her share in redecorating the Senior Room, and she supports all other school activities. She is a member of the Dramatic Club, and is on the Tatlcr staff. Mary Ann's shiny black Cadillac is the saving factor in many an emergency and is in front of the school rain or shine. One of Mary Ann's aspirations is to be a flyer, and here's hoping she's as successful in fulfilling this desire as she has been in her work at Northrop! DiutJLu. The mind has a thousand eyes And the heart but one. Few can believe today that our tall, striking Harriet first entered N.C.S. as a spindley, shy kindergartener. Since that day twelve years ago she has served as a friend and confidant for many and has maintained an outstanding scholastic record. Her dramatic ability was displayed in her portrayal of Ema in Letters to Lucerne; and as the Dramatic Club's president she revealed her executive ability as well as her unfailing interest. Hat's appreciation of music and her poetic talent have made her a much sought after member of the senior class. Jaff. with her ready friendliness and quiet humor, is certain to be a welcome student at Vassar College next year. Janette Johnston Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. Obscured by an assortment of multi-colored garments and with arms encumbered with books, Janette begins her day at N.C.S. Her dark eyes and her inviting smile have won her many friends and numerous admirers. Janette has a mania for making lists of almost anything, and here we have the secret of her efficiency. From the time she served as president of the eighth grade, Janette has been active in both the government and the extra-curricular activities of the school. Her part as a member of the Glee Club and Madrigal singers, as secretary of the League, and finally as vice-president in charge of Public Relations has manifested her true ability. However, her accomplishments do not stop here, for she has shown herself to be an athlete of no mean ability. Yes, Janette’s personality, combined with her talents, seems to justify our belief that Smith's gain will be Northrop's loss. Gretchen Knoblauch Love that never told can be. If we wanted to start out in the usual trend of the senior biography, we could say that Knob is one of the few of us who has actually survived the wild kindergarten days, and right from that tme she has been an essential feature of the class of '44. Moreover, we could not fail to mention her outstanding executive ability as head of the welfare committee and as business manager of the Dramatic Club, and her tireless effort in teaching and in dragging us to teach nursery school. But somehow these facts fail to give a true picture of our Knobby. The perfect combination of wit and wisdom, she is irreplaceable and indescribable until you know her. We would only like to say that we think that she is just about everything anyone could want in a friend, and perhaps that is why she has been such a wonderful one to so many of us. Kathryn Neilson A kind and gentle heart. '‘Kaddie,” as she is known to all, is five feet and three inches of quiet charm. Her naturally curly hair, beautiful brown eyes, and delicate features add to her casual poise which is one of her outstanding characteristics. Her genuine interest in people is an asset which endears her to her friends. She has an original style in clothes, her favorite colors ranging from pastels to black. We all wish that we could tan as nicely as Kaddie does, but the thing we envy most is her sense of humor. Wherever she goes next year, we know that her combination of charm, poise, humor, and loyalty will win for her as secure a place as that she holds among her friends at Northrop. ftcLcLcU Peggy Olson I can resist everything but temptation.” We give you our pin-up” girl. Peggy's shiny black hair, dreamy blue eyes, and tantalizing smile could place her among Ion Whitcomb's dolls. Girls sigh in relief because that coy attractiveness is directed to one objective, and not on their interests. We miss her Monday mornings, realizing that she lives in a distant rural section (the Country Club), but we doubt that to be the reason. In Peggy's two years at Northrop, she has lent her talents as chairman of the uniform committee, and as a member of the dance club. Peggy is famous for her hysterical fits of laughter in public places, and witty remarks to friends and strangers alike. We predict that if John Powers doesn't get her, marriage will! Alaiy Alice Oss Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale her infinite variety. This versatile girl, catching every eye, and breaking hearts in every United States camp, will forever keep the world guessing with her infinite poise and wonderful sarcasm. Entering Northrop in her junior year, she has made up for any lost time by exhibiting great ability in practically every dramatic production on our stage. She has also been on every athletic team since her arrival, and is a member of the entertainment committee. Her talent in handling anyone or anything at any time makes us confident that Mary Alice is certain to be a success in any field she chooses. Good luck, kid! Beverly Ridgivay The inner half of every cloud is bright and shining; I therefore turn my clouds about, If you should peer out of the Senior Room window almost any morning about five minutes after the tardy bell has rung, you would see a figure clad in a tan polo coat, scarlet slacks, and dark bandana (which gives one the impression that she is a bandit) clumping down the hill, this would be our inimitable Ridgway whose slap-happy attitude, general good humor, and wit have often brought the seniors out of the depths of despair. Though Bev’s oustanding talent is is still to be discovered. she has given much to both the Dance Club and to the athletic committee this year. Alary Stacy Teach me to care, teach me not to care, teach me to sit still. Above the strains of Moonglow or 'The One I Love we hear a voice sighing, Isn't that beautiful, and then you know that Nip is with us. The music she loves is like herself— Sweet and Low. Our second smallest senior still hopes to grow up to her hands, which are definitely not her size. Mary has a very practical and capable side as shown in her activities as League vice-president in charge of entertainment. Her success was proved in the unusually high percentage of seniors who attended the League dance. Her excitable and impatient manner emphasized by her sixty words a second comments balance her engaging blush, her dimples, and her impetuous laughter. We will always remember Mary for her velveteen bows, her allergy for butter on sandwiches, and for the perfume in her hair. We wish her success and hope that her present affair will be a little more nip than Tuck.” lJP9£5U Jean Stevenson A good many things go around in the dark besides Santa Claus. Stevie is one of our most enthusiastic athletes. She has managed to obtain more than her share of letters, and is one of the few members of the class who never misses a gym period. She has also managed to keep herself busy in the Dramatic Club and in the Dance Club, of which she is president. Her pet saying, I don't get it, her stories about dragon flies, and her absent mindedness have given the Senior Room many a laugh. One of Stevie's weaknesses is argument; in her own words, I love 'em. She will long be remembered for her ready smile and her constant enthusiasm. Nancy Tmax “Life is just one darned thing after another. Here we give you the one girl in our class who can do almost everything well. Outside of her jokes in the Senior Room. Nancy is recognized for her diamond knee socks, and her intriguing method of chewing her food which is the cause of mystery and laughs at the lunch table. Nancy's constant companions of wit and good humor, tactfulness and dependability are the admiration of all who know her. Her numerous achievements make a list too long for this page, but her assets to the senior class are many and varied. She divides her versatility as head of School Procedure Committee, constant member of the League, and a standby for the hockey and basketball teams. Despite the war, Nancy's social life is full of excitement and dates. Wellesley, here is one of our favorites. Ann Wurtele She'd fight a rattle snake and give it the first two bites. Ann's you traitor can be heard each morning high above the Senior Room tumult as she discovers a senior with a date. The outdoor girl of the class, she is constantly luring her friends on to higher hills and faster horses. True to form as athletic exceptional, Ann was elected vice-president in charge of athletics this year. Her artistic ability was revealed in a convincing portrait of Bingo in the Dramatic Club play, as well as by taking an energetic part in decorating the Senior Room. Ann's squelching retorts followed by a teasing smile leave many puzzled people in her wake. When we hear tales of Smith's campus rocking with laughter next year, we shall know that Ann is at it again! Elisabeth Young The only way to have a friend is to be one. Outstanding throughout her entire school career, Babbie received the highest honor Northrop can give when the student body elected her League president. She certainly deserves credit for the tactful, efficient manner in which she has led the school, and for the inspiring example she has set for every Northrop girl. During her two years on the League, Babbie has met every task, large and small, and has seen it successfully completed. Here we must also add that in everything Babbie has done, there has been fine school spirit. She has been a leader not only in school activities, but also in our social life —who can ever forget Babbies open-houses which we all enjoyed so much? Babbie's friendly, gracious personality has endeared her to all of us, and we are sure she will be as well liked at Bryn Mawr as she has been here. 3 Patriot Neils “O world! O life! O time! Although Pat has not been with us in our senior year, we feel that she is a part of the class of '44. Pat has always been convinced that she is inimitable, and so she is. For who could drive a car with such abandon and such luck, and who but she, could gossip so often and so well without getting her fingers burned? And finally who could give the impression of such boundless knowledge, and at the same time state that Columbus discovered America in 1792? Pat intends to spend her next four years at Bryn Mawr, and we know that her idiosyncrasies will be as beloved there as they are here. Paula Strong 'The social smile, the sympathetic tear. Come and hear about Cary Grant, is the cry that proceeds the usual gathering around Polly, our former Califomia-ite who came to Northrop in her junior year. She always has an anecdote to tell about the stars, and her ability to narrate them always wins her a large audience. Polly is noted for the vim and vitality with which she undertakes a project. Her beauty and sparkling personality made her a striking model at the publication tea last fall. We are sorry that illness made it impossible for Polly to be with us much of this year, but she has proved that You can't keep a good man down. CLASS PROPHECY We do prophecy and here declare What these pure maids will be— So polish the globe and in its stare Ten years ahead we now do see . . . Our newest member. Mary Ann, Is going on a blind”; liile Truax is an iceman, Hy female one you’ll find. ' appy Jaffray we can see married to THE man, While Joy at last has got her “he,” And is married to A man. Romaine is puzzled and wondering why; Ridgway is undaunted yet. Campbell is keeping the diapers dry; Babbie’s still cheerful, but prone to forget. Carol’s chemistry was not in vain For herself she’s invented a pill. Stevey as ever is sound and sane. And thin, and tall, and grinning still. Atwood we find, is cutting a cat. Peggy of course, has retained her appeal. Janette is our successful diplomat, And Kaddy at last has met her ideal. Oss is currently billed at the Alvin. Colman her face is having uplifted. Dorothy’s worn by nervous exhaustion, At caring for kiddies, Joey is gifted. Patty is settled and happy. And Clifford is still having fun. Helen is driving somebody sappy. And Gretchen still makes a foul pun. While Stacy is our human whirlpool And Hermann's laugh is still unmarred, Pauletta fights a verbal duel, And Doneth with Bamum and Bailey is starred. Bonell is head of the woman's club. As America’s president Smith is fit. Wurty is hunting her man with a club, And Chickie is grinning and bearing it. In other words this class will be Happily following their particular bent— As any fool ‘‘kin” plainly see— We hope this is taken in the spirit it’s meant. Northrop has been busy this year, and with characteristic vigor has realized anew its part in the war effort. All organizations and all student life have been shaped by the new force that has given meaning to the school ACTIVITIES SEPTEMBER The ivied walls and stately turrets of Northrop were awakened from their slumber on September 9 by the greetings of returning girls. So many new faces were seen that the old girls felt like strangers. Not only was the student body increased by sixty-eight girls, but the faculty was also enlarged, and several changes were made as a result. One innovation was the introduction of buffet service, and two lunch periods. The Northrop League's first meeting on September 10 was presided over by Babbie Young, our League President. The five vice-presidents whose offices were established last year were introduced: Mary Stacy, in charge of entertainment; Ann Wurtele, athletics; Janette Johnston, public relations; Nancy Truax, school procedure; and Jean Campbell, publications. The League officers elected in the spring were: Jane Thomas, secretary; Jean Dunn, treasurer, and Prissy Adams, assistant treasurer. As the school year took shape, class officers were elected. The seventh grade elected Nancy Nelson, president; and Barbara Finch, secretary-treasurer; the eighth grade, Molly Rand, and Caroline Cole; freshman class, Stanley Brooks and Mary Chilton; sophomores, Ann Cosgroye and Nancy Norton; the juniors, Kathleen Smith and Mary Wurtele; and the seniors, Mary Ann Smith and Patsy Clifford. Near the end of September, the juniors organized a bond drive which brought in $5707.50 for the national jeep campaign. OCTOBER A roar of hilarity greeted the month of October as the old girls greeted the new girls at a Stage Door Canteen party. This theme was carried out in a series of amusing skits and amazing costumes. Les Francais of Northrop daintily gorged themselves at a French tea given la of course, on parlez Francais. We discovered that one of our faculty is gifted with a rare talent, and she entertained us with her rendition of French blues. A prolonged Indian summer provided ideal weather for the hockey tournament. After fierce battles, the seniors came out triumphant. Their claim to the title of Northrop's Dust Bowl Champs was threatened only by the fightin' juniors. On the annual play day, the students were embarrassed by an overwhelming defeat on the hockey field by the mothers and faculty team. Before the game, the girls entertained their mothers at a luncheon. The M.E.A. convention brought a much needed vacation to Northrop's overworked scholars and gave us strength with which to face November. Left: Balance of power. Right: B.W.B.

NOVEMBER Memories of her alma mater were brought back to Miss Spurr on November 12 when Doctor McBride, a former professor at Radcliffe, now the president of Bryn Mawr, spoke to us about her college. Two days later, a similar talk was made by Mrs. Crawford concerning Smith College. Both met with prospective students for questions and discussions. On November 18, two-thirds of the school body paraded down to the Plaza to catch a street car headed for Northrop Auditorium. Motivated by cultural or other reasons, they were going to the first Children's Symphony Concert to hear Robert Casadesus, pianist. The remainder of the school enjoyed an extra long lunch period, full of gossip and gab. On the evening of the next day. over 150 couples forced themselves down the reception line for the annual Red Cross Dance, this year sponsored by the sophomores. A sum of $215.80 net was made for this worthy organization. Wednesday, November 24, was a welcome day to all of us, for then we held our regular Thanksgiving service . . . and were dismissed at noonl A happy prospect that was: no school for four and one-half days, and no assignments for Monday! DECEMBER We were caught in December's typical whirl of excitement. Christmas holidays were augmented by the prospect of Letters to Lucerne to be presented by the Dramatic Club. Much to everyone's regret, however, the play had to be postponed until January because the flu had overcome so many of us. The Christmas pageant was as inspiring and as beautiful as always. Harriet Jaffray was Mary in the Nativity tableau, and Janette Johnston and Babbie Young were narrators of the Christmas story. The holidays came amidst more flu and a great deal of festive excitement. Northrop alumnae held their annual luncheon at the Oak Grove Hotel. Alumnae came to tell of innovations in their colleges. Whether to accelerate or not to accelerate seemed to be the question. There were alumnae even from the graduating class of 1914 when Northrop Collegiate School was called Graham Hall. December's whirl was levened somewhat by the lack of snow. After such a green” December, it was hard to believe that 1944 was upon us. Left: Everything is so up in the air! Center: Gay young blades.

JANUARY On snowless January 3rd, Northrop students awoke from their holiday reverie to return to their alma mater and the imminent prospect of exams. Faint memories of Christmas were revived two days later by a French chapel service conducted by Kay Harper and Mary Stilson. The postponement of the Dramatic Club production of Letters to Lucerne from December eleventh to January eighth did not lessen the enthusiasm of the audience. The event of the evening was the appearance of a leading man, George Fried, who played opposite Genevieve Fowle. Although there was no goal, the sophomore-sponsored bond drive on January 18th topped the record made in the September drive; $6800 was raised by the efforts of the committee—Rosalie Heffelfinger, Marlys Shedd, Nancy Ann Norton, Mary Stilson, and Norma Ritz. School routine and school composure was upset by the appearance of Dennis Morgan on behalf of the bond drive. The skating season was climaxed by a party, with entertainment led by Nancy Ann Norton. Exam week closed the month. FEBRUARY The time had come! We all sat in breathless excitement as Miss Spurr read the list of seventy girls in the upper school who had earned the right to be on one of the honor rolls. The requirement for the first honor roll is a B average in each subject, and for the second, a B average with no D's on any examination. To some the report meant work harder,” while to others, keep up the good work. Open House in February was a gala occasion for all. We slaved all morning, gave a sigh after the last class, then rushed for the mirror with lipstick in hand, and finally tore downstairs to greet our guests. After a bountiful luncheon, the Glee Club gave a riotous skit and preview of their spring concert. Who will ever forget the curtain's closing on Miss Root's absorption in Esquire”? Nancy Truax and her cast gave a second in a series of skits about the Smuts family. This one was Mr. Smuts Goes to War” and was a howling success. After much preparation with Miss Chambers, we took the Time” tests on a fatal day in February. Doneth Green, senior; Susan Ervin, junior; Priscilla Adams, sophomore; Ruth Harper, ninth grade; received the highest scores in their respective classes. Susan Ervin received a score of 93 which was among the highest in the country, and which was inspiration to us all. Left: A woman's work is never done. Right: Always in the dark. Left: Mob scene.

MARCH March both came in and went out like a lion. Blustery weather and snow made it the most wintry month of all. On March 15, the Junior Guild Players took advantage of everyone's desire to stay inside, and presented their annual play, The Stolen Prince. On March 21, Miss Dennison gave an interesting talk on Wells College. The high point of the month for seniors, however, was March 22. On that day, the faculty gave a tea at the College Women's Club for the seniors, and Miss Spurr reviewed the outstanding New York plays she had just seen. For this occasion, the seniors were allowed to wear dresses and pumps to school, and what a clatter when thirty pairs of pumps came clattering into chapel that day! During this month we were also privileged to hear Miss Splitstone from Bennett Junior College. Just before spring vacation, the junior basketball teams won the school championship after a hotly contested game with the seniors. March 30 brought our long awaited spring vacation. APRIL Northrop was spared the ravages of April Fool's day as our spring respite began on March 30. On the eleventh of April the old walls resounded once more with cheery girlish chirpings as the refreshed students settled down to their little tasks. The coming of the sun was heralded by fanning bats on the baseball field and by lily-white limbs on the playground. April was a month in which Northrop artistic ability outshone itself. Three artists, Susan Ervin, Chickie Leslie, and Lucille Camp, won acclaim in the Scholastic magazine art exhibit and contest. Twice the stage lights were focused upon amazing talent. The future Hayeses and Cornells from the Junior Dramatic Club presented Little Women. The four little women were played by Carol Skoglund, Mary Chilton, Jean Hiatt and Suzanne Sessions. On the night of April 29th, the Senior Glee Club gave one of the best performances in years, in spite of the difficulties which arose when the Madrigal singers left out a beat or two in the Cuckoo Song.

Right: Lack of vitamins. Left: Siesta. Right: ??, Ipana, Colgate, and Teel. MAY May began with the crack of a bat and ball in practice for the annual baseball tournament. Following close in the wake of baseball came the Junior Glee Club concert in which Suzanne Sessions sang a solo. Caroline Evensen and Marion Morse each played the piano, and there was a trio. For the final P.T.A. meeting Dunkie exhibited the best works of the year from her art classes. Then on May 17th a tea for the seniors was given by the P.T.A. board at the home of Mrs. Russell Bennett. As we went to press there were many more plans for the year. With confidence in the Weatherman, field day and the sophomore picnic for the seniors were planned to take place during the last of the month. JUNE On June fith. League Day, the League president and the vice presidents for the coming year will be inaugurated. Commencement comes on the sixth of the month in the school auditorium, when a class of over thirty members will be graduated. The Junior-Senior Prom on June 6th at Woodhill Country Club will be a gala end for a busy, happy year at Northrop. Left: Strike seven!

THE EVENTUAL CONQUEST OF INFANTILE PARALYSIS IS NOW ASSURED—THANKS TO SISTER KENNYI” Out of the lonely bush country of Australia, in 1912, news began reaching the world of a nurse with a revolutionary new treatment for infantile paralysis. Thus began the dramatic story of one of the truly great figures of our time. Sister Elizabeth Kenny. In August, 1940, a young Minneapolis lawyer named Henry Haverstock, whose son had been one of the first to benefit from the Kenny treatment, called on The Minneapolis Star-Journal and Tribune, to seek certain assistance for Sister Kenny, now in America. The medical faculty at the University of Minnesota had recognized Sister Kenny locally, and the Minneapolis Board of Public Welfare had provided facilities for demonstration of her method. However, she had not yet received nation-wide medi- cal recognition. Her passport would soon expire. Would The Minneapolis Star-Journal and Tribune help? A reporter was assigned to look into Sister Kenny’s work. For weeks he studied poliomyelitis and Sister Kenny’s method. Sister Kenny’s passport was extended. Additional facilities were provided by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis and the University. The first comprehensive story in America on Sister Kenny and her method was carried in The Minneapolis Star-Journal in September, 1940. Since that time, the Sister Kenny method has won nationwide recognition from American medical authorities. When applied early enough in certain types of cases, 80% recover. Epidemics in New York, Memphis and Little Rock have illustrated the effectiveness of the Sister Kenny method—with complete recovery resulting in a large proportion of cases. On December 17. 1942, the Elizabeth Kenny Polio Institute, a municipal clinic, was dedicated in Minneapolis. At a civic testimonial dinner a thousand neighbors paid tribute to Sister Kenny’s work. Responding, she dedicated hands and heart to the good and understanding people of Minneapolis and America.” Sister Kenny’s gratitude toThc Minneapolis Star-Journal and Tribune is echoed by fathers and mothers all over Minnesota and the upper Mississippi valley. To w more than 300,000 families every weekday, more than 350,000 on Sundays, these newspapers are not just a source of complete news and authoritative leadership, but also enterprising citizens, good neighbors and de-Kenny pendablc friends.
