 Q ibiucIleC)' She whose song we love tin' best” As the music blares forth in the Senior Room one can always find an admiring group centered about Gert, who is our lindy expert. Besides dancing, this versatile girl is also adept at all kinds of athletics, and her beautiful soprano has won her solos every year in Glee Club. In between answering those much envied letters from the South Pacific, Gert has found time to maintain a good scholastic record. Her quick thinking has aided her in becoming one of the mainstays of the Debate Club, and she has taken an active part on the School Procedure Committee this year. Gert is also known as one of the most obliging senior chauffeurs, and many is the member of the senior class who has just made that” four o’clock dental appointment—thanks to Gert. W c are sure that her quick smile and friendly manner will win her many friends at col egc.

Chickic entered the annals of Northrop history in ’42. She immediately joined the Glee Club, her alto voice contributing much to its success. Her outstanding ability in painting was recognized last year when she won prizes in the Scholastic Art Contest. She has spent much time making publicity posters and decorations for school parties. Even though art work and Glee Club are important in her life, Chickic’s main interest is in Latin America. Her visit to Mexico inspired further study of Spanish at the University this year. How she could carry two courses at the U” as well as a full schedule at Northrop has been a source of wonder to the senior class. Chickic’s own Good Neighbor” policy will be strengthened when she returns to Mexico this summer. She plans to go to Mills College next year, where we know she will be a great success.

t y (Ze2sz 2 -C u2, o2 C r Sydney P pyxasid - cx C - A merry heart tnaketb a cheerful countenance.” Sydney’s dimples and smile arc an index to her personality. It is this sunniness that keeps her cheerful when we invite ourselves to ride in her car. (She holds a record for driving from Excelsior in twenty minutes.) Syd’s idiosyncrasies include a passion for varied pets—from bees and pigeons to the black colt that is the joy of her life. Sydney is one of the few seniors to be a perpetual inhabitant of the Senior Room: reason— her conscientious study habits which shame the rest of us. On rainy days her riotous curls are the source of envy. As Mother Trevor in Murder in a Nunnery, Sydney was continuing her tradition of turning in good performances for the Dramatic Club. Sydney is not one of the noisy seniors, but her humor twinkles in her eyes and is one of her priceless charms. Syd deserted Northrop in her sophomore year, but we arc glad she liked us well enough to return to graduate with the class of ’45. Junior Drama Club—’42 Senior Drama Club—’44, ’45 23
