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.

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.

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.
