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.

 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?

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.
