Joan entered Northrop in her sophomore year and since has become a familiar figure in the art room where her designs of beautiful costumes awe the aspiring artists of the class. Drawing, however, is not the only talent that Joan possesses, for her clear second soprano voice mingles with others in the Senior Glee Club and between meetings keeps the seniors humming along with her. Joan’s quest for adventure led her to Mexico, and since her return she has entertained the seniors with many fascinating stories and letters from the good-neighbor country,” as well as with her own lively rendition of the Samba. She is kindly, even-tempered and sympathetic, and has unbounded faith in human nature. Carlcton will get our vivacious Joan next fall, and we know that she will make as lasting an impression there as she has made at Northrop.

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

Katttledn Smith ne'er be 'uare of my own wit 'til break my shins against it ” Kathleen’s serene exterior many times belies her dual personality, for her famous blood-curdling screams have often aroused the more serious minded teachers. Katie’s uncqualcd wit and exaggerated stories of her past experiences have kept innumerable students in guffaws. She has also entertained us with her musical attainments which include everything from boogie-woogie to Mozart. Her figure, being the acme of perfection, caused her to be chosen as model for the senior tea last year. Scholastically Kathleen has attained one of the highest averages in the class, and athletically she has been outstanding in all sports. Her tact and understanding combined with her friendly personality and outstanding accomplishments have made Kathleen one of the best liked girls in the class, and may well assure her a successful future.
