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.

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.

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.
