 Here we have Barby (spelled with a y”) Long. If she is not holding her own in a friendly argument, she is showing us one of the finer points of bridge. It is Barby, the Minnesota fan, who keeps us up on all the football news and the life history of the team. She claims she is the screen porch type, but don’t believe it. She is often seen on the golf course, and she is skipper of one of the two sailboats on Lake Bcmidji. Long is an inspiration to many with that determined will power practiced at the lunch table. The topics of her continuous conversation range from bathing her cocker spaniel, to a new pair of earrings. Contrary to the popular belief about red hair, Barby does not have an explosive temper, and her winning smile makes an impression wherever she goes. She would interrupt St. Peter's roll call to ask him a question.

‘R.ax cvty 'rfyyde Any senior who has a first period study is bound at some time to see our St. Boni-facius girl arrive late, heavily loaded with books, saying that the car wouldn’t start— again. Roxy’s definitely full day comprises playing the piano, adding more books to her fabulous reading list, exercising the horses,” and telling us about how one dog stole the meat supply, etc., etc. She is one of the class’s better athletes and more conscientious students—we have seen her move kit, kaboodle and typewriter into the Senior Room to write the last half of her term paper the day it is due. Roxy and her Mound home will linger on in Northrop tradition for six more years—as long as the seventh grade docs not forget the momentous party of last fall. ”Wc arc two travelers, Roger ami I.

(fyanlotte One of the wonders of the age is how Chy can arise at 8:10, spend fifteen minutes sipping her milk, and still be able to arrive at school in time for roll—usually. It could be that, after sliding down the back hill every day for twelve years, she knows her way quite well. Yes, Charlotte is the one and only girl in our class who has been at Northrop since first grade. During this time she has ably lent her athletic ability to many class and varsity teams. For the past year she has dedicated to the seniors her new-found talent of making holiday decorations. Her fascinating way of cocking her head as her dog does, her laughing eyes, her laziness, and her friendliness arc some of the things that make Chyly what she is and what everyone likes. I like work; it fascinates nit•— can sit amt watch it for hours Awards Committee—’43 Junior Drama Club—’43 Junior Glee Club—’43 President, Junior Glee Club—’43 Senior Glee Club—’44 Athletic Committee—’43, 45 Public Relations Committee—’46 Varsity Hockey—’43, ’44, ’45, ’46 Varsity Basketball—’44, ’45, ’46 Varsity Baseball—’45 22
