Sue Bros No seed shall perish which the soul hath sown.”—Symonds Hurry up, you kids! There’s still time for one more hand before the bell,” cries bridge-loving Sue, as more prudent seniors file out to classes. Our Vice President in charge of Athletics is, in addition to being a bridge enthusiast, a girl of no mean abilities. Sue’s conscientiousness and capacity for hard work, along with her natural brains,” place her name frequently at the top of that coveted first list,” while her hilarious sense of humor and raucous giggle keep the rest of the more pessimistic seniors in stitches. Her ceaseless and bounding vitality coupled with her intuitive ability to find a weak spot in the opposing team’s line have made her one of the most spirited senior sportswomen. Keep up the mad merriment, Sue; but hold your horses—that way you’ll soon be on the bridal path! ’48 Vice-president, Athletics ’48 Library Committee ’48 Dance Club '47, ’48 World Affairs Club '46, ’48 Senior Dramatic Club ’45, ’46, ’47, ’48 Varsity Hockey '47 Bookroom Committee '47 All School Hockey Team ’45, ’47 Athletic Committee '45, ’46, ’47 Varsity Basketball '45, ’46 Varsity Baseball ’45 Junior Dramatics Club 15

Miriam Bennett A little credulity helps one on through life very smoothly.”—Gaskcll Every class has its prodigy; every class has its clown; but we surpass all others, for we have Mimi, who is Northrop’s own inimitable combination of Hoagy Carmichael, Lauren Bacall and Whoopee John, the Yodclcr. As such, she is a constant source of amusement to the seniors, on mournful Mondays as well as on frivolous Fridays. However, Mimi, too, has her serious side, and has interests in music, art, and literature. Her perseverance as chairman of the Library Committee has made her the pride of Miss Cole and the terror of overdue book holders. Mimi’s Canadian experiences have made her an ardent lover of skiing, riding, ct cetera, and her naturally curly hair and deceptively naive blue eyes cannot go unnoticed—at least, for long. We are positive that Mimi's credulousness, cheerfulness, and casual manner will be missed in what remains of next year’s senior room! ’47, ’48 Senior Glee Club ’48 Chairman of Library Committee ’48 Dance Club '48 School Procedure Committee '47 Public Relations Committee—secretary ’47 World Affairs Club ’46 Varsity Hockey ’45 Junior Glee Club 14

Martha Brown Let the world slide. —Shakespeare Eyes that say you never must,’ nose that says 'why don’t you?’ and mouth that says, 'I rather wish you could’ ” applies to our School Procedure Vice-President as she seeks someone noble enough to take tardy hall. This problem like those in the intriguing tales she tells will be summed up in Wouldn’t that rattle your slats!” Martha’s patience and kindness are evidenced by the innumerable children that she has taken care of. Irate Seniors seeking lost books know that the mad confusion of Martha’s locker is the promising place to look. Mart’s devotion to the Glee Club has especially been felt by members who want to get in a last hand of bridge. However, despite her nagging us on to bigger and better things, we all find Martha a thoroughly likeable character! ’48 Music Ensemble ’48 School Procedure Vice-President ’46, ’47, ’48 Varsity Hockey 47, '48 World Affairs Club ’48 Dance Club ’47 Class President ’46, ’47 School Procedure Committee ’46, ’47, ’48 Senior Glee Club ’46, ’47 Varsity Basketball ’46, ’47 Varsity Baseball 16
