She is known for her quiet manner, large appetite, slim figure, long dark hair, and complaisant smile. We seniors have yet to find the secret of Janet’s pep and vitality, despite the vigorous Northrop routine. She takes part in many extra-curricular activities and still maintains a high scholastic average. As a member of the Glee Club she has helped to make all performances successful. In spite of her quiet manner, her willingness to enter into our various fiendish acts surprises us all. Outside of school Janet is ever ready with new ideas and refuses to let devil boredom catch hold of her. Janet is the only senior who has many dates with different boys. As yet, she is not a one man woman. We know Janet will be welcome wherever she goes to college. She is easy to get along with, full of pep, and always cheerful with everyone. ’47, ’48, ’49 Glee Club ’49 Modern Dance Club 49 World Affairs Club ’49 Dramatic Club ’47 Publications Committee 8 Evelyn Bidwell Caesar's barber is a busy fellow”. The big gray innocent eyes, the long black curling eyelashes, the natural blond lock of hair dangling in the aforesaid eyes, describe Evelyn, the only girl in the Senior Class who can say Oh goody it’s raining, now my hair will curl.” Amidst the rush, rumble, and rubble of the Senior Room, Evelyn always manages to walk through unscathed and untouched by its pillow fights, book wars, and record-smashing-contcsts. Evelyn is another one of those girls we all envy. After all who wouldn’t want a different date every weekend? And who couldn’t have one if we all had her face, figure, and feet. Besides her beau catching talents. Evelyn is also an avid and versatile water skier; backwards, forwards, no hands, she’s expert at it in every way. A pair of scissors and its mechanism seems to attract petite Evelyn greatly. Contrary to nature her hair steadily grows shorter . . . But, says she, I just couldn’t resist it.” ’46 Junior Glee Club ’47, ’48, ’49 Senior Glee Club 48 Public Relations ’49 Modern Dance 9 Anne Boos For men may come and men may go, but I go on forever.”—Tennyson Bounding footsteps and an alarming voice echo through the halls of Northrop; the Senior Room door flics open, an intriguing aroma of Passion” perfume floats into the room; and the seniors are once again greeted by Annie Boos and her familiar expression, Just guess what happened!” Anne is noted for her enthusiastic personality. During the course of her social activities of the year, she has acquired at least three or four rings and has never spent a dull weekend. Her experiences and stories will always be remembered by her classmates. It will be difficult to forget Anne’s promptness at noon, her manners at lunch, and her never ending desire for food throughout the day. We arc all sure that through her energy and spirit, Anne is bound to win many friends and achieve success wherever she goes. ’46 Junior Glee Club ’46, ’47, ’48, ’49 Publications ’47, ’48, ’49 World Affairs Club ’48, ’49 Head of Photography ’47 All School Hockey ’46, ’47, '48 Varsity Hockey ’49 President of World Affairs Club 10 Hazel Burton In her tongue is the law of kindness.”—Proverbs Whenever Hazel marches to the front of Chapel to make an announcement, we all prepare ourselves by pulling out our hankies and pocketbooks. Her tear jerking stories of the poor, starving children in Europe are enough to make the most tight-fisted donate their whole fortune to same worthy cause. Her many faithful years on the Public Relations Committee were climaxed this year by her election as the vice-president in charge of that committee. Hazel’s sincerity and complete aloofness from the frivolities and complications of school life arc traits greatly admired, but where she keeps herself we don’t know; probably in some far off world that no one knows about. Here is a typical Burton remark after a friend went into great detail in explaining her current lovelife, What color is he? You sec Hazel’s love and her life is her horse. Ring. We don’t know whether she treats her horse as a person or people as horses; Hazel probably doesn’t know the difference anyway. Secondary, but by no means minor, loves, are her tennis racket, her pair of skis, and her sailboat. Hazel’s friendly ways will win her friends wherever she goes.

Lib, a popular member of all crowds, excels when it comes to Blake, Wayzata, Taft, Berkshire, West, and the U. Not many of us beat this record or even approach it, however, we can almost assure you that old faithful will come through by cracky (a familiar expression of our Wayzata rowdy). Experience has taught us that it is wise to pick up your feet and hang up your coat upon entering the Clevelands’ homestead. Yes, Lib is fond of dogs. Lib’s enthusiasm and unceasing energy have won her the privilege of being all school Blue Team captain. Not only does the athletic department appreciate her work, but also the Tatler board, of which she has been a member for several years. We find three characteristics that can be said to summarize Lib—good looks, personality, and an unforgettable sense of humor. To Briarcliff we give one of our favorites. ’49 All School Blue Captain '47, ’49 World Affairs Club ’49 Glee Club 47, ’48, ’49 Tatler ’49 Head Senior Division Tatler ’46, ’47, ’48, ’49 Varsity Hockey ’47, ’48, '49 Varsity Basketball ’47 All School Hockey ’49 World Affairs Board '49 Athletic Committee 12 Charlott Coleman Carlson '7 can resist everything hut temptation Whenever there is a floral box in the Senior room we all know Charlott is sporting another of her numerous orchids from one of her admirers. Charlott has been one of the luckier seniors who has not been affected by the general exodous of men to points East. One of the more active participants in all class meetings, Charlott is never caught without an appropriate comeback. What time Charlott has between escapades to Chicago or Northficld is spent knitting argylcs with atrocious color combinations. In addition to being class athlete” Charlott has been a valuable member of the Entertainment Committee for the last two years and was a great help to the art department during the Christmas Bazaar. There arc three words that sum up Charlott: personality, experience and her love for the world of sports. 47, ’49 Entertainment Committee '47 Book Room Committee '48 Library Committee '46 Public Relations '47 Chairman of Book Room 13 Barbara Damon And unextinguished laughter shakes tlx’ ikies. If there is one girl in the senior class of 1949 whom the seniors will never forget, it’s Barbara Damon. Her fits of uncontrollable laughter brighten the Senior Room immeasurably while her tales of woe experienced on the school bus arc forever brightening our day. Barbara is the only girl in the senior class who forgets everything before an exam, she claims, and still can get an A” on it. She is very much interested in and enthusiastic about sports, and she’s at her best when the World Series is being played off. At that time she’s in a trance until something serious happens—a French class maybe. Barbara has helped a great deal with the business work of the Taller. She is also a member of the Senior Glee Club, and is always willing to promote an idea, an operatta, or something great. Barb will always come out on top no matter what happens so, Here’s to you Barb.” '46 Jr. Glee Club '48, ’49 Sr. Glee Club ’47 Entertainment Committee ’48, 49 Publications Committee 14 Patricia Donovan Laugh ami tbr worlJ laughs with you.”—Wilcox Patty is a changed woman this year. She seems to have an irresistible fascination for the opposite sex. Besides men, though, she has many other interests and ambitions. Patty has decided that a medical career is what she wants. Our bean pole” is a sports enthusiast too, and if it weren’t for her height, we wouldn't have as good a basketball reputation as we have. She’s one of the few bathtub babies—that is, she’s won several medals for her excellence in swimming. She is also one of the more advanced skiers in the class, for just recently she accomplished Kenwood Hill. This fall Patty started to knit and she amazed us with her many pairs of argylcs and an intricately designed ski sweater. Next year Northrop will miss Patty’s horse-like” laugh and her witty remarks. We all know that she will have a wonderful time at college, because she is so friendly and always manages to see the lighter side of things. P. S. Be careful Patty! Too many peaches, prunes, and alfalfa aren’t good for the complexion. ’46 Public Relations ’49 Chairman of Library Committee ’48, ’49 World Affairs Club ’49 Glee Club ’48, ’49 Athletic Committee '48, ’49 Varsity Basketball ’46 Varsity Softball 15 Diane Dreves Needs not the foreign aid of ornament, But is when unadorned, adorn'd the most. —Thomson Although Diane joined us only last year, she has rapidly become a loyal and friendly member of the class. Many arc the times her keen ability in the mathematical sciences has come to the aid of one of her distressed classmates. Riding and tennis arc two of her favorite pastimes, but sailing is her foremost love. None of us will be surprised to sec her, sometime in the future, skipping one of Uncle Sam’s biggest cruisers, having been the first woman commissioned an admiral in the U. S. fleet. Diane’s collected coolness is completely obliterated when she joins a senior room discussion, whether it be on the subject of politics or of men. She is well-known for her staunch opinions on both subjects. The whole Senior Room is thankful for her vivid, mirthful personality which is apparent only after her shy reserve has been abolished. Diane’s amiability and calmness, coupled with her above-average intelligence, will aid her in attaining any goal she may set for herself in the following years. ’48. 49 Glee Club ’49 World Affairs Club ’49 School Procedure Committee 16 Molly Duff In thy face I see the map of Ixmor, truth, and loyalty Here we have one who has brains, enthusiasm, loyalty, honor, and a sense of humor besides. Since Molly joined the class of ’49 in the seventh grade we’ve known that she would receive the honor which the school gave her last spring—that of being President of the League. Although Molly takes first prize for marks in the senior class, she's not one sided. She has always been part of every sport, every Dramatic Club production, every discussion on the world problems of today, every practical joke—in fact, part of nearly every school activity you can think of. However, no matter how involved Molly may be in a political dispute, a committee meeting, a practice period on the violin or piano, or an even more important conference, she always has time to be friendly. If you know Molly it’s easy to understand why she’ll be successful in whatever she docs in later years. 46 Class President ’47 League Secretary '49 President of League '46 Jr. Dramatic Club '47, ’48, ’49 Sr. Dramatic Club ’47, ’48, ’49 World Affairs Club '46, ’47, ’48 Awards Committee '48 School Procedure Committee '47, '48, '49 Varsity Hockey ’47 All School Hockey 17 Barbara Finch hate hardly ever known a mathematician wlx) uas ca(table of reasoning—Plato If you should have happened to have heard a strange thumping coming from the Northwest end of the building, don’t be alarmed, it is Finch either showing us her repertoire of ballet steps, or expounding on her slightly one-sided views of the last election, these being just two of her greatly diversified interests. Despite her professed lack of mathematical ability. Finch last year proved to be a very capable co-treasurer of the League and again this year is proving her competence as Business Manager of the Ta ler. (So far at least, she has not been accused of embezzlement.) We all know Finch's dramatic skill whether we arc watching her on the stage or listening in the Senior Room to her imaginative accounts of her past, present, and future romances. This year she was rewarded with the presidency of the Dramatic Club for these talents. When not thinking of THE Irish tiger, she is busy maintaining her place as scholastic head of our class. We know that her generosity, wit, and snappy comebacks will be appreciated as much in the future as they are now. ’48 Co-Treasurer of League ’49 Business Manager of Tatler ’46 Jr. Dramatic Club ’47, ’48, 49 Sr. Dramatic Club ’49 President of Dramatic Club ’47, ’48, '49 World Affairs Club ’46 Publications Committee ’47 School Procedure Committee ‘46, ’47, '48 Awards Committee ’46, ’47, ’48, ’49 Varsity Hockey ’47 All School Hockey '48 Varsity Basketball 18 Joan Fullerton The world is a wheel, and it will come ’round right.”—Hawthorne As Ve Olde bus comes motoring down the hill, we all know that Joanie has arrived safely at Northrop ready to start another day. Joanie’s neat appearance and calm personality midst the turmoil of the Senior room is a mystery and the envy of her shrieking classmates. She only mutters not another day!” and continues her knitting or studying. Not only is she an intellect” but also she has been a faithful member of every varsity and class team and has spent many week-ends at Telemark skiing, thus proving her athletic ability. Joanie, through her friendliness, poise, and wit, will always be remembered by the Senior class as a girl of fun and enthusiasm. Throughout the year, Joanie’s energy and co-operation as vice-president of the School Procedure Committee has contributed to and furthered the success of the student government. Northrop will be proud of her wherever she goes. ’49 Vice-president School Procedure ’46 Junior Glee Club ’47, ’49 Glee Club ’46 Entertainment Committee ’47 Public Relations ’48, ’49 School Procedure ’46, ’47, ’48, ’49 Varsity Hockey ’46, ’47, ’48, ’49 Varsity Basketball ’46 Varsity Softball ’47 All School Hockey 19 Elinor Goodrich And Wrinkled Sport Derides—Milton Undoubtedly the most unconcerned face in the Senior class belongs to our girl, Elinor. While she placidly sits and whips up another sweater, other seniors are tearing their hair and losing their minds over a Chemistry test. Perhaps the greatest mimic of all times, Elinor can send one into a tit of laughter, especially when she contorts her face like Pluto the Pup or does her Arabesque dance routine. Elinor is perhaps possibly the best coordinated, most loose-jointed girl in the Senior class. Not only can she sink a 50-yard hook shot in basketball, but she will challenge the tallest hill in order to practice a new ski turn. She also plays a wicked game of tennis. The only reason she carries books home, she claims, is to develop her arm muscles, it docs wonders for her tennis game, she says. Every now and then she pulls down some astonishing good marks. There's little need wishing her good luck in the future, for Elinor is bound to have all the luck in the world. ’49 Class Treasurer '49 Staff Head of Art for Tatlcr '46, '47, '48, '49 Publications '46 Junior Dramatic Club '47 World Affairs '46, '47, '48, '49 Varsity Hockey '48, '49 Varsity Basketball '46 Varsity Softball '47 All School Hockey 20 Charlotte Guidinger Better jar you should forget and smile than you should remember and be sad. —Rossetti Charlotte’s daily pre-dawn sprints down the back hill always prepare her for the rigors of a day at Northrop. Her unpredictability inevitably keeps us on our toes, not knowing what to expect. Entertaining us with her hilarious stories of her love life is a favorite pastime and we seniors feel we have become personally acquainted with all her military friends. One of Charlotte’s many admirable but hidden traits is her absolute yet tactful frankness which has so helped many of us, both academically and socially. Her sincerity and generosity are other estimable qualities. The Entertainment Committee would never have succeeded in presenting the League Dance this year, if it had not been for Charlie’s” never-ending loyalty to work in obtaining the band and decorations. It is certain that wherever Charlotte goes the dances will be highly improved after she begins to take over. ’48, '49 Entertainment Committee ’49 World Affairs Club 21 Nancy Haley For loir is the sweetest thing on earth. —Roche Although Haley did not enter the class of ’49 until last year, she became an established member of the class in a very short time. How Nancy manages to go out every weekend and still stay on the first Senior List is a wonder to her denser classmates. Nan is Shocy’s pride and joy and it has become the foregone conclusion of all, that Nan will be on the Varsity Teams. Haley is excellent at all sports, but she excels in basketball. An active participant in all the Senior gab fests. Nan is always willing to answer questions for her less intelligent classmates. Nancy is always the first one at the lunch table and the last one to leave, at recess you can always sec her munching on cookies or the like. How she eats like a horse and still stays a steady 107 is also a wonder to us. Nancy caught the bride’s bouquet at her sister’s wedding and it wouldn’t surprise us at all to see some prophecy materialize. May you both live happily ever after. ’48 Glee Club ’48 Athletic Committee ’48, ’49 Varsity Basketball ’49 Publications 21 Patricia Hudson A fair exterior is a silent reconi men Jat ion. ”—Syrus One of the most familiar sounds in the Senior Room is 3 tiny, tearful voice exclaiming, What’ll I do now?” What will we do without our daytime serials that are donated by Pat’s troubles, and such lessons as we have learned from them? Pat has proven to be one of the lucky few who can eat anything within reach and still retain a complexion and figure that will continually be the envy of everyone around her. Many times she has brightened an otherwise dreary day with her mixed up talcs of woe and her Mary Livingstone laugh. She has always kept everyone guessing as to how she manages to work up a blush of brightest fuchsia shade at the most opportune times. Because she has a great interest in sports of many kinds, Pat has proven herself to be a great asset to her teams, and one of the class’s best forwards. Despite the hectic lives of the twenty six ’'savages’’ surrounding her daily and trying to make a place for themselves in the world, Pat has been able to hold a sparkling and radiant personality that will be remembered long after the forty-niners have left these hallowed halls. ’46 Junior Glee Club ’48, ’49 Senior Glee Club ’48, ’49 Publications ’48 Varsity Hockey 23 I Marilyn McGandy What I can't see I never will believe in. —Sam Johnstone Socialized medicine, don’t you know what that is? That’s when the government . . With this dissertation on her favorite subject we meet Marilyn ( golly that gripes me ) McGandy. During her five years at Northrop Mac has shown great leadership ability, culminating this year in the first chairmanship of the Crosby Room Committee, and as usual, Mac has done a superb job. Her friendliness and power to get along well with everyone has proven to be a great asset to her in this job and all others she has tackled. In spite of all her duties however, she always seems to find time to play with stray little children and it is difficult to tell who has the most fun. Her ambition to be a kindergarten teacher seems to us to be well founded. Mac would be utterly lost if the old fashioned long hair styles came back, for she is also an enthusiastic barber. (You’re lucky though, because if school gets too tough ye oldc barber college” is still an easy way out.) Mac's outstanding personality and love of a good time will always win her many friends wherever she goes. ’48 Class President ’49 Chairman Crosby Committee '46 Junior Dramatic Club '47, ’48 Senior Dramatic Club '49 Senior Glee Club '47, ’49 World Affairs Club ’49 Modern Dance ’47, ’48 School Procedure ’47 Awards Committee ’49 Public Relations '46 Varsity Hockey 24 Nancy Nelson I shall ne'er he ’ware of mine own wit, till I break my shins against it.”—Shakespeare Cahill’s loss was definitely Northrop’s gain when Tina” decided to grace these hallowed halls with her subtle sense of humor. Each morning we put our heads together and wonder if our little farmerette has finished the milking in time for her to catch the last milkwagon to town. She usually makes it, and as she takes the last bale of hay from her pocket, we hear the voice of our amicable secretary chime out, Do 'youse’ want to be counted tardy?” Another hectic day! We weren’t mistaken when we voted Nancy most entertaining” in our class poll for she is constantly keeping the class in convulsions with her timely and hysterical remarks. Not a complete imbecile, Tina” was elected seventh grade class president and is one of the most popular members of our class. An ardent worker as assistant editor of the 1949 Ta ler and secretary of the senior class, Nancy is continually on the go.” Having seen much of the world and a great deal of W'ayzata, we know she will be able to take care of herself wherever she goes. ’49 Secretary of Class ’49 Assistant Editor of Ta ler ’48 Entertainment Committee ’47, ’48 Varsity Hockey ’46 Jr. Dramatic Club ’47, ’48 Sr. Dramatic Club ’46 Jr. Glee Club ’47 Sr. Glee Club 25 Barbara Parker The Gentle MinJe by Gentle Deeds is Knou ne. —Spenser When you hear a shrill, maniacal giggle reechoing throughout the senior room you can be certain that Barbie or Parker” as she is more commonly known, has arrived at her usual time, 8:3 5. Evidence of schizophrenic tendencies is substantiated by her intermittent periods of naive little girlishness and quaint sophistication. Parker’s sincere good word for everyone is deeply appreciated and will always be remembered. Her unusual combination of artistic and literary abilities is a never ceasing source of envy and amazement to all the seniors. Parker has proven herself to be an invaluable member of the class by her active participation in class meetings and her rare humor in the senior room. We all know that she will be a great success in college and will always bring credit to Northrop. 46 Junior Dramatic Club ’49 Senior Dramatic Club '47, ’49 World Affairs Club ’49 Public Relations Committee Marylynn Rice How sweet ami fair she seems to be. —Walker Mitzi is the only member of the Senior class who manages to arrive at school early, in fact she even helps Mullen to unlock the iron doors. She claims this is the only time she does her studying, but she always receives any other early comer with enthusiasm, despite her craving for studying. Mitzi has been a member of the class since the eighth grade and has been trudging in from far off Hopkins faithfully each morning. During the many gab” sessions in the senior room, our sweet and innocent Mitzi can be heard to exclaim, but I don’t understand, or come on, you kids, now tell me.” Despite the innocence Mitzi manages to do quite well on weekends. Her enthusiasm for sports is only surpassed by her ability in such exhausting sports as skiing, riding, and her favorite, tobogganing. Mitzi’s long blond hair and huge appetite will always be remembered. We arc sure she will Iso a success in the college of her choice. ’46 Junior Dramatic Club ’47, ’48 Dramatic Club ‘47, ’48, ’49 Glee Club ’49 World Affairs ’47 Book Room Committee ’49 Taller ’49 Modern Dance ’46 Junior Glee Club 27 Elizabeth Schmitt She's small, hut so is a stick of dynamite. Betsy is one of our newer additions to Northrop, having arrived last year; too bad her entrance and exit had to be so hasty. Yet for the little time she has been here, Northrop will always remember her as one of its most co-operative members. Without Bets, the class of ’49 would find one thing missing: we would never find the spirit of fun and hilarity reaching such a height without Betsy to guide us. She is always able to arrive at school with a cheery good morning , after working late into the night on the Tatler. She has certainly proven herself to be an efficient and responsible vice-president of the Publications Committee. W'e are sure that her carefree independence as well as her charming personality will lx appreciated as much at college as they have been here at N.C.S. ’48, ’49 Glee Club ’49 Modern Club 49 World Affairs ’48 Public Relation ’49 Vice President of Publications 28 Carla Skellet There is no cure for birth or death sate to enjoy the interval Every morning from the mysterious depths of the Senior Room, resounds the familiar cry Listen ladies, the Chapel lines have left.” Could this be 'l iny” our so appropriately nicknamed class president as she endeavors to route her less ambitious friends from the comforts of their impenetrable lair? Ever since she joined us in eighth grade, fresh from Grovcland’s sheltering wing, we have been kept constantly amused by Tiny’s various attempts to reform us, for she is an ardent Churchgoer, at least on Thursday nights. Her hearty alto has long been an asset to the Glee Club to which she has always been faithful. Her artistic talents are further exhibited by her unceasing attempts to teach her fellow classmates how to acquire grace and poise through ballet. Carla’s powers in the field of athletics are not easily forgotten especially her successfully persuasive efforts as guard on the basketball team. Carla’s friendliness and her great interest in her friends truly insure her a successful future, for the class of ’49 will remember her as one of its best. ’46 Junior Dramatic Club ’46 Junior Glee Club ’46 Softball Varsity ’47. ’48, ’49 Varsity Hockey '48, ’49 Varsity Basketball ’47 Class Secretary-Treasurer ’49 Class President ’49 School Procedure Committee ’47, ’48, ’49 Senior Glee Club 47, '48, '49 World Affairs Club '48 Athletic Committee '49 Modern Dance Club 29 Diane Sparboe Laugh louder than the laughing giant. —Holmes The above quote is a very mild statement describing Di’s exceedingly good natured, cheerful, and exuberant laugh—it can never be mistaken. Diane will always be remembered as a meticulous person who stands in contrast to her careless classmates. After driving her Buick Convertible two or three blocks in the dust, Di can be seen with Spray Bright and chamois in hand wiping the dust particles from her famous car. White Varsity captain this year, Di has enthusiastically performed her job, and has made many athletic achievements. She has also enlivened her class by her humorous anecdotes and by modeling many articles of interest. We admire her for her unceasing vim, vigor, and vitality, which contributes so much to our Senior Room. Wc shall always remember Di for her three outstanding characteristics: her laugh, her long blond hair, and her overwhelming personality. ’48, 49 Glee Club ’48, ’49 Varsity Basketball ’49 All School White Captain ’49 Athletic Committee ’49 Varsity Hockey Elizabeth Sutton SA would interrupt St. Peter's roll tall to ask him a question Looking out the window during our first period class we see the familiar form of B, tripping over the hills and stopping just long enough to unload her weighty burden of mail to points East. Come noon we are fully aware of B’s presence as she views the food and utters, “Oh, ish,” the diet you know. Betty, a popular member with Blake past as well as present, is not one of the many dateless seniors. Sutton's Road House noted for its girls, food, and hours is a very popular place—except with the neighbors. Besides being popular B has a serious side. But where? X'c all marvel at her co-operation with the Athletic Department as vice-president in charge of Athletics. She is also an active member of the student council and one who never hesitates to state her views. We know the East will welcome our flirt with open arms next year, when she arrives at BriarclifT. We wonder how much time will be spent at THAT college? P.S. Betty, a word to the wise—You can’t put out a forest fire with blankets. 46 Junior Dramatic Club ’46.

She became president as a result of her understanding nature and firm leadership. Liz has displayed her dramatic talents as Dick Dead-Eye in II.M.S. Pinafore and as Ko Ko in the Mikado, along w-ith numerous other parts in the Dramatic Club presentations. Liz shows her interest in sports by being the first skier on the slopes each winter. (Don't let that stylish outfit fool you. She can really ski, especially at Glen wood.) She also takes an active interest in tennis and has been known to get up a match at six in the morning before school. Trissy’s wonderful sense of humor enables us to tell a joke and receive a laugh for our efforts. We all know Trissy will certainly have an exciting and happy time at Lasalle next year. '46 Junior Glee Club '46 Junior Dramatic Club ‘47, '48, '49 Senior Glee Club 47, '48, '49 Senior Dramatic Club '48 President of Glee Club Dorothy Witt I tell bee love is nature's second son. —Chapman When you hear the screech of the faithful station wagon you know that Dodic has arrived to begin another day in the halls of Northrop. Dodic usually worries the most of any of us concerning tomorrow’s Spanish assignment or the coming biology test, but invariably she always manages to get the highest scores. Her steady romance is one of the biggest assets, and everybody envies her ability for having constant dates during the weekend. When a class meeting is in full swing it can be altered only by the hysterical guffaws of Miss Witt who always manages to provide some kind of diversion for the Senior Room. Her mad passion for Rye Whiskey (the song that is!), flashy convertibles, and black strapless bathing suits could scarcely be considered a key to her real character. Dodic is best known among all of us for her conscientiousness, poise, and acceptance of responsibility. Wherever she goes she cannot fail to make friends with these admirable traits of character. ’46 Public Relations Committee ’47, ’48, ’49 World Affairs Club 48 Secretary-Treasurer of Class ’49 Chairman of Library Committee ’49 School Procedure Committee 33 Marian Zierold Merry as the Jay is long. —Shakespeare Although Made! comes last in the alphabet, she is really one of the old-timers of our class. She started her career at Northrop in the sixth grade. By this time we have ail become quite accustomed to her frequent fits of piercing laughter and the familiar ring of her favorite phrase, That’s foolish.” Madcl has enlivened many a dull moment with her talcs of numerous boat trips on that certain cruiser” with the orange and black tinge. However, she is also loyal to Northrop. For many years she has been a leading alto in the Glee Club, and an energetic promoter of the entertainment committee. This year she climaxed her career in position of chairmanship of said committee. Next year we will be sure to miss Madcl’s generosity, her furious knitting, and her willingness to aid other knitters in distress. We know that her friendliness will be an asset to her wherever she goes. ’46 Junior Dramatic Club ’46 Athletic Committee ‘47, ’48, ’49 Entertainment Committee '49 Chairman of Entertainment ’48 Modern Dance Club ’47, ’48, ’49 Senior Glee Club ’47, ’48 World Affairs Club 34 lint Croup: J.

Class of 1950 The Juniors, along with all the other classes, have enjoyed helping to make this year at N.C.S. a big success. At the beginning of this year we elected Monic Molan, president, Elizabeth Barrows, secretary-treasurer, and Ann Sivertsen, council representative. The class was aided in all its undertakings by Miss Pease, its adviser. The League Officers from the Junior Class were Karen Gamble and Sis Aurand, co-treasurers of the League. The many juniors in the Dramatic and Glee Clubs brought honor to the class in all their productions. The year was started with a bang in which the Juniors produced a skit in blackface for the Old Girl’s Party for the New. This same skit was performed (without the blackface) for the girls from St. Mary’s Hall, in February. Another project of the Juniors this year was a style show for the Christmas Bazaar. At the same event we also provided fortune-tellers and a Northrop doll which was sold at auction. The big event of the year was the J.S. on June 4, at Woodhill, which was, as usual, a huge success and a fitting ending for a fine year. 36 Fint Rou : M. McPhail, H. Archambo, T. Guthrie. H. Bros. M.

The first meeting of the Class of “51” was held in September when Nancy Quay was elected President, and Sally Overholt, Secretary-Treasurer. The new girls of the Class will remember the old girls’ party for the new and we are sure they will never forget the Sophomores’ Barber Shop” skit. We are proud of our better athletes who were chosen for the Varsity teams. During the year the Sophomore Class participated in other sports such as: baseball, basketball, skating, tennis, and ncwcome. Near Christmas, our Class took part in the Bazaar which was conducted to raise money for the Community Chest and Northrop Welfare Fund. It was very successful and after many hours of preparation everyone was proud of our contribution. The Sophomore-Senior picnic helped to make our year complete, and we wish to thank Miss Gray and the faculty for their co-operation. ,J7 Iron! Ron: J. Campcll, J. Gamble, A. Cullen, M. Caron. B.

Class of 1952 As the Class of 1952 moved to the study lull with a buzz of excitement, you could tell things were going to happen, and they did. With Miss Blodgett as our advisor, and Paula MacMillan and Patty Maslon as our newly elected President and Secretary, we got under way by making a hit with our skit in the Old Girls’ Party for the New. Not stopping to take a breath, we launched into a play, Dickens’ Christmas Carol. Wc were rewarded well for our work on the play because it was a success. The success was dulled, however, by the fact that one of our classmates, Ann Warner, moved away. Our first semester glory was completed when Miss Spurr said that we were to have the honar of being hostesses at the first social affair in the Albert H. Crosby Memorial Room. Wc had a good time at this ninth grade dance. With Judy Cleveland cheering on the White Team and Betty Wimmcr cheering on the Blue, wc had a lot of fun in athletics, also, wc were well represented in the Varsity Hockey and we did our best against other classes, with Nancy Bros as our leader. The class of 195 2 likes fun, you can see. If you hear us whooping with glee we’re just planning some more fun the year to come. .58 Iron Row: B. Underwood, M. Fullerton, M. Harris, A. Pritchard, A.

Cindy Robinson, President, and Marjorie Beardsley, Secretary-Treasurer, were selected to try to keep them on the right track throughout the year. Their Class took part in helping to equip the New Crosby Memorial Room by collecting games. They were well represented in both hockey and basketball varsity teams, and they think the highlight of the season was their victory over the Sophomores in hockey. Kathrine Barrows, Sue I.cck, Audrey Nash, and Cindy Robinson were representatives for the School Procedure Committee; Kathleen Kennedy, Barbara Osborne, and Betty Underwood for the Public Relations Committee; Mary Amcsbury, Joy Anderson, Mary Fullerton, Sheila Hollern, Cindy Nash, and Anne Pritchard for the energetic Taller Board; l.yn Arcy, Ruthic Bennett, and Cindy McCarthy for the Athletic Committee with Marjorie Beardsley and Cathy Brown for team captains; and Marjorie Beardsley and Bryce Loudon for the Entertainment Committee. We all think that on the whole, we had a very successful year. Mrs. Sicard, their loyal advisor, helped in all phases of their activities. 39 Rack Row: S. Daunt. F. Grief, S. Stanchficld. II.

Class of 1954 Following .1 tradition, the seventh grade at Christmas time collected toys for many underprivileged children. It was a successful drive and many toys were collected. In the latter part of March the seventh grade made dolls showing the dress of the characters in the book, The Story of the Canterbury Pilgrims. This year the seventh grade enjoyed very much being able to play in the Blue and White Games. The seventh grade has had a lot of fun with their Seniors. At Christmas time the Seniors gave a party for the Class. Later in the year, the seventh graders will give a party for the Seniors. Bobby Caron was President for the first part of the year and Bets Dvorak for the scconJ. All in all, it has been a wonderful year for the class of 1954 and the seventh grade appreciates Miss Ross’s help in making it one. 40 S. Andrew , B. Andrea . H. I)e Haven, P.

The Class studied pioneer customs, people, and events in preparation for its part in the Lower School Centennial Pageant. This was given by the Lower School for the benefit of the Community Fund. In order to give the students a better idea of how people lived in early Minnesota, they made a trip to the Hennepin County Historical Museum where they saw many interesting things and learned much about our pioneer forefathers. At Thanksgiving time they made nut cups for the Sister Kenny Institute as another part of their social work. During the period when they studied England in their reader, Mrs. Whittington talked to the Class about her country. In preparation for their new Upper School responsi-sibilities the Sixth Graders have this year been monitors in the Lower School Chapel. It is through Mrs. Chamberlain's constant help that these girls have had such fine preparation for the years ahead. 41 Scu rJ: L. Nctbitt, S. Swanton. F. Wilson, G. Bochrer, B. Crosby.

Early in the fall they took a trip to a nearby garden to see cotton plants in bloom. Last spring lilacs were cut, and during the late fall they burst into bloom in the fifth grade room. A student who spent several weeks in California this winter, brought back different types of desert plants for the girls to raise. In addition to their interest in nature, the fifth graders participated in several activities. First, they took part in a Minnesota Centennial play which was given by the whole Lower School for the benefit of the Community Chest. They also made napkins and holders for the St. Patrick’s day Red Cross project, and drew friezes which illustrated their studies. 42 M. I anpim, T. Van Duicn, S. Onan, |. McCaull. II. Grarf, A. Billing, E. Graham, M. Carney. Fourth Grade Under the inspiring influence of Mrs. Donald, the fourth grade started this year with thicr best foot forward. When appealed to for help for the Red Cross, they responded generously, each one filling a Red Cross box with articles such as wash cloths, soap, tooth brushes, and tooth paste. Again, when called upon to donate to the March of Dimes, they all responded wholeheartedly. The future 1957 college prospects were occupied with the fundamentals of writing and using the dictionary. They wandered into the mysterious lands of science, and explored and experimented with air pressure. They looked into the weather with its problems of changing conditions, and now they arc ready to challenge the experts regarding such things. The fourth grade played an important part in the lower school pageant commemorating the Minnesota Centennial celebration by discussing transportation in those good old days. With such firm foundations under them, the fourth grade is now well prepared to go on to bigger and better things next year. 43 SfdtrJ: J. Onan, H. 'k'ard. J. Beauboire, A. Kibnick, M. Warner, b.

Trips to China, England, the Scandinavian countries, Mexico, and Holland, are parts of the third graders’ adventures. Even though these are only imaginary trips, the girls in the third grade can tell one almost everything about foreign customs, habits, and means of transportation. The class's reading and „rt arc related to the country it is studying in Social Studies, as arc the decorations in its home room that the children put up themselves. By pointing out the common characteristics of the children of foreign countries, their teacher. Miss Nelson, has stressed good ways to live together. In addition to contributing to Christmas and Thanksgiving drives, the third grade has helped fill Junior Red Cross boxes. This is not the only side of their school interests. These girls also have lots of fun skating and enjoy using the playground during their gym periods. In music classes they have learned the value of notes, and have also advanced in the reading of notes with the help of Miss Space. Yes, this third grade has been a busy one, helping in the Minnesota Centennial Play. Next year will be even better. SECOND AND THIRD GRADES The second grade has spent the year learning about shepherd life. Booklets and posters have been made to further the study of every phase of this interesting subject. The second graders have had fun carding and dying wool, and weaving it into different things. Hearing the Twenty-third Psalm, and other songs and poems has given shepherd life a very interesting meaning. Movies on certain aspects of nature studies have been shown in order that the students might correlate their work. Of course, the second graders have contributed to the Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Community Chest drives, too. Miss Thompson’s interest in her class’s projects has opened to the girls a new world of experience. G. Overholt. L Levine. B. Bagley, L. Gagc. C. Ca c, M. Barrow , L. Stein, A. Stephenton. A.

Kindergarten These younger members of the school arc not too young to enjoy all of the activities which Northrop offers. In the fall and spring they can be found playing on the slides and swings, or making castles in the sand. In the winter they attract much attention on the skating rink for their athletic prowess. Their spirit at Christmas time, as they sang Silent Night for the school, set a high standard for the others to follow. Beginning early to recognize their duty as Americans, these Kindergarteners have contributed to all the welfare drives launched by the school. Most amazing of all, is the fact that with so full a schedule, these Northrop youngsters never lose their unbounding energy, and for keeping them busy much admiration is due Mrs. Rocll. First Grade Mrs. Nelson has found many entertaining ways to keep her lively first graders interested in learning. During the year these active Northropites studied the environments of certain plants and animals, made a study of foods, took trips to the Armory gardens, and studied the process of mailing a letter by taking a trip through a post office. The first grade has helped nation wide projects with their generous contributions to the Community Fund, Red Cross, and March of Dimes. Another project in which these youngsters so proudly participated wfas their original skit for the Northrop celebration of the Minnesota Centennial. With this fine record for the year, these students arc bound to have a successful year in the second grade. 45 — FRESHMAN POLL Most likely to succeed: Paula McMillan Biggest joker: Helen DeHaven Vim, Vigor, Vitality: Doats Caron First to get married: Betty Wimmer Biggest arguer: Bonnie Eckcnbcck Biggest clown: Judy Cleveland Most gullible: Helen Dc Haven Most congenial: Paula McMillan Talks most, says least: Janet Campbell Biggest man hater: Shirley Good SOPHOMORE POLL Most original: Stahr Most gullible: Cis Howe Class clown: McCaull Most argumentative: Hamilton Favorite young man: Ichabod Most happy-go-lucky: White Best line: Guthrie Talks most, says least: Wedum Most unconventional: Smith Cutest: Seed JUNIOR POLL Most in love: Aurand, Chardon First to be married: Nelson Wittiest: Molan Smoothest: Gamble Most oblivious: Moore Talks most, says least: Ecklund Biggest man hater: Middlcbrook Biggest promoter: Molan SENIOR POLL First married: Cleveland, Sutton In love most often: Boos, Coleman Class clown: Goodrich Favorite expression: Chapel lines have gone.

The committee has the responsibility for seeing that all girls are in correct uniform. Also, its duty is to keep order throughout the school and to find supervisors for tardy halls on Friday afternoons. These duties have been carried out under the able direction of Joan Fullerton, Vice-President in Charge. The girls on this committee have been most appreciative of the help given them by their sponsor. Miss Pease. SCHOOL PROCEDURE COMMITTEES The Junior School Procedure Committee includes the presidents of the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades as well as additional members from each class. Paula MacMillan was the President and Maria Caron the secretary of this year’s committee. Their faculty advisor. Miss Blodgett, has given many suggestions, and Joan Fullerton, School Procedure Vice-President, has also been very helpful. Questions regarding study hall, chapel lines, library regulations, bridge playing, noise in the halls, uniforms, etc., have been their particular concern in addition to that of determining suitable punishments. They have worked together with the Senior committee to carry out the policies of the school. COMMITTEE StsmJimgt P. MacMillan. hnt Rom j B. Caron. C. Robin-urn, P. McGuc. A. Nath. SttomJ Rom : J.

It sponsored a very successful Bazaar and style show in November for the benefit of the Community Chest and the Northrop Welfare Fund. As a result of this fund raising campaign, food was sent to several settlement houses in Minneapolis; and money, clothing, and food were sent to Europe. They also conducted the Red Cross and March of Dimes drives. Their earnest work enabled Northrop to show its concern for world problems, and in this work they were greatly helped by Miss Chambers. Without her able direction this ambitious program could not have been achieved. Public Relations Committees The Junior Public Relations Committee has been very active this year. Its officers arc: Chairman, Helen Case; Secretary, Barbara Osborne, and faculty advisor, Mrs. Bordeau. One of their projects for this year was collecting toys with the seventh grade to be sent to the Phyllis Wheatley House and to the Child Welfare Bureau. At our Thanksgiving Service they also helped to collect food for the less fortunate people. The committee has been collecting school supplies for Forbach, France, and pennies for the American Field Service Fund to provide an international scholarship. The dog show which they sponsored this spring proved to be a big success. Mrs. Bordeau, with her ever helpful suggestions, has made the committee’s activities of much greater interest.

Marian Zierold, the Chairman, and Ann Middlcbrook, the Secretary, guided this year’s activities. They started off the year with a vaudeville show, which was the main theme of the Old Girls’ Party for the New.” To contribute to an afternoon of fun the old girls and the faculty gave the new girls a picnic and skits. The main social event of the year, the League Dance, took place on February 4th. The orchestra of Buddy Wood provided the music and the informal atmosphere of the Crosby Room furnished an excellent setting. A good time was had by all. The committee wishes to express its gratitude to Miss Goodale for the advice and guidance that she has given throughout the year. Entertainment Committees The members of the Junior Entertainment Committee this year were Patty Maslon, Ruth Ann Head, Marjorie Beardsley, Bryce Loudon, Sara Case, and Cynthia Turner. They planned the Seventh and Eighth Grade Party which turned out to be a great success. Everyone played ping-pong and visited. Ice cream and pop were served. This committee also planned a skating party for the twenty-first of February, but it was not held because of poor weather. Miss Goodalc’s interest in sponsoring this committee was most helpful to the girls. TATLUR board B. Schmitt .... Editor N. Nelion - - Auittant Editor E. Cleveland - - Senior Editor E.

The literary staff is a combination of three committees: literary, art, and photography. The literary committee takes care of the write-ups; the art committee takes care of the designs and sketches; and the photography committee takes care of the snapshots. Meetings of both of these staffs were held once a week during the year. The committee extends its gratitude to Betty Schmitt, Editor of the yearbook, and to Barbara Pinch, Business Manager, for their excellent leadership; and to Miss Ellinwood, the business staff adviser; to Miss Stewart and Mrs. Whittington, literary advisers, sincere thanks for their patient guidance which helped to make the Taller a success.

Activities included the varsity hockey and basketball games, a skating party, a posture contest, and competition with St. Mary’s Hall and Summit School in various sports. All of these activities were carried out with enthusiasm and efficiency. Miss Babson and Miss Shoemaker helped the committee a great deal with all of these projects. Athletic Committees At the first meeting of the Junior Athletic Committee, Nancy Bros was elected chairman, and Ruth Bennett, secretary. With the enthusiastic help of Miss Babson, they planned the Faculty-Junior High new comb game, in which the Faculty won one game and the students won the other. Next, the committee planned a skating party which was later called off, because of Spring thaws. Its last project was the planning of a posture program which, it was hoped, would help to improve the posture of the high school students. COMMITTEE S jm wx: J- Cleveland. I . Hart, J. Haertel, L.

Grades eight through twelve entered the competition, and after many a difficult battle the Senior team was declared the champion for the fourth straight year. But winner or loser, each team showed fine sportsmanship and skill, and had a wonderful time.

There was close cooperation among the team members and in the last few minutes of the game, the whites succeeded in obtaining a goal to defeat the blues one to nothing. Varsity Hockey and Basketball The Blue and White varsity basketball game was played on the twenty third of March at the close of the season. Tt was a game of speed, energy, and skill.

The World Affairs Club is an organization for those students in the Senior High School who arc interested in current events. Anne Boos was elected president of the club in September; Anne Newhart is the secretary. The club began the year with a political rally before the November 2 elections. The school voted on real ballots but our results were not like those of the Country. Throughout the year they have had other interesting meetings including a visit from Mrs. Kunjara of Korea, and a talk by Mrs. Whittington who has recently come from England. The club wishes to thank Miss Gray for the enthusiasm and helpful guidance which have made this so interesting an activity. WORLD AFFAIRS CLUB AND LIBRARY COMMITTEE The Library and Stockroom committees, under the supervision of Dodic Witt who is the representative from the School Procedure Committee, arc comprised of volunteers from the seventh, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades. The library group, headed by Pat Donovan, assists the librarian with her duties while the stockroom committee, supervised by Polly Colp, takes charge of the selling of text books and school supplies to the students. Miss Cole, their able sponsor, has directed them throughout the year. IIBRARY CHAIRMEN D. Witt P. Colp P. Donavon Fint Rom : H. Archambo. C. Howe, M. Dayton. F- Tri%ko, M. Rice. F. Barrows. R.

At the first meeting the officers were elected: Barbara Finch, President; Anne Ncwhart, Business Manager; and Anne Sivertsen, Secretary. Its next activity was a series of talks by Miss Spurr on current Broadway hits. Immediately following, the search for the year’s major production began. The committee suggested Our Town, and the recommendation was accepted by the club. Casting and rehearsals were begun at once, the leading roles being played by Barbara Finch, Christine Chardon, and Jacky Page. The dates of presentation were set for March fourth and fifth. With a two night run everyone felt very professional and under Miss Cram’s excellent direction this play and the other activities for the year were a great success.

LITERARY THE POOR I'll only be a minute,” the efficient home service lady told Jancy when she left her in the blue sedan to go into the house. While waiting, Jancy had plenty of time to look the house over. At one time it had been white, but now it w-as dingy gray and it seemed to be falling apart. There wasn’t a clean spot on the house, Jancy noted, as she looked at the dirty window-panes and dull gray boards. The high gray house was set off by an equally dirty lawn. The wind was blowing papers around the yard, into corners and nooks, and finally over the picket fence, which matched the house, and onto adjoining lawns. There w-as a dirt path going from the sagging steps, through the yard, and out to the sidewalk by way of a creaking gate, as it swung back and forth in the wind. The house wouldn’t be bad, thought Janey, if it were fixed up a little bit, but as the home service lady had told her coming over in the car, the inhabitants consisted of a widow with three small children. The widow couldn’t look for a job without taking the children along, and there was no one with whom to leave them. Word had in some way reached the Home Service, a branch of the Red Cross; and Mrs. Williams, for that was the name of the Home Service lady, was going to tell the widow about the numerous nursery schools sponsored by the Red Cross. Janey hadn’t realized the condition which many of the people were in until this summer. Her mother had suggested that working with the Red Cross might be interesting this summer and she had gotten Janey a job with the Home Service. This was one of Janey’s first experiences and she must learn to know- all types of people. The door slammed and Janey looked up. Mrs. Williams was coming down the steps looking as unfailing and responsible as ever. Her gray hair was combed smoothly, her large blue eyes had a sympathetic inclusive look, and she slumped a little from hard work. As she climbed into the car she said to Jancy, I’m glad I have a happy home. That last one was far from happy. When I got there, two of the children were crying on the floor with the older one trying to keep them quiet and the mother was washing their few clothes. After I had succeeded in quieting the children. T told the worried mother about our nursery schools. I think she will take her children to the one on Fifth Avenue and Knox Street.” She started the car and left the gray house behind. How many more cases today?” inquired Jancy. Only one, a shack on the edge of town where a family of five live. The fire department has condemned the shack as a fire trap and so the family is being forced to move. The father has a job, but money goes fast. I have been looking for a cheap apartment and have at last found one that’s decent. Why don’t you come in with me?” I’d love to,” replied Janey as they drew up to a small tar paper shack, set right on the street. They got out of the car and hurried up to the door. As Jancy looked around the room, she was filled with a feeling of sympathy and inadequacy. The shack contained only one room with a bed, a broken chair, a pitcher of water, a small wood stove, and a cupboard. On the soiled bed lay four of the children and the fifth was getting warm by the stove. Mrs. Williams quickly told the woman the good news, at which the woman wept in gratitude. Then Mrs. Williams and Jancy walked in and straightened up the room. As thev left, an old car drove up and out climbed the father who went into the house. He was tall and dark and looked ambitious and up and coming. Jancy could imagine how crowded the small house was with the whole family home. One case can be checked off the list, sighed Jancy. It was certainly pathetic, wasn’t it?” There arc many more just as bad,” Mrs. Williams said sorrowfully. I’m iust dying to get home,” said Jancy, wishing they would go a little faster, and take a nice hot bath.” Yes, that will feel good,” agreed Mrs. W’illiams. Here’s your house. Thinks for coming. I’ll see you tomorrow. Good-bye.” Good-bye and thank you,” called Jancy after the departing car. As she ran up the walk, all the other houses seemed beautiful in her joy to get home. She threw open the door of her house to sec the furniture piled up in the middle of the room, with the sheets over it and the windows open. In rushed her mother. 62 Darling!” Mother, what's happened?” Just the wall-papering job I told you about.” Oh, well can’t we close the windows?” Yes, but the glue smells terrific. I'm going to take a bath before dinner.” When Jancy was half way up the stairs, her mother called calmly, Better just wash up. We’ve used a lot of water today. There’s not much left. At this point Janey sat down and burst into tears. Why, darling,” exclaimed her mother, You’ve gone without your bath before and the paper hanging isn’t so bad.” I don’t know what’s the matter,” sobbed Jancy. But suddenly she knew. She was thinking of how-awful the gray house and tar paper shack were and could not hold back her grief any longer. Her mother wouldn’t understand. She wished Mrs. Williams had been here. She’d understand. I'll be all right in a minute,” she told her mother. But she sobbed on. Helen Case, IX Group II, First Prize THE GOAT’S HEAD I don’t know just how the goat's head came to be lucky, but all the dancers here believe in it. It must have been started about six or seven years ago because I first came here about five years ago and the dancers believed in it then. It is made of stone and is just an ornament on a large stone urn. This urn is between our dressing rooms and the dance floor where we give our show. All of us always give the head a friendly pat as we go by just before our act starts. Just recently a new dancer, Jane, joined our troupe. I don’t think she really did believe in the luck of the goat’s head but she always gave him a little pat. Last night she must have been terribly excited for she walked right past the goat's head. I guess I was the only one who noticed that she didn’t even touch him, but I said nothing. Our first act came off fine. In a way I was beginning to doubt the power of the goat’s head but still I didn't like to take chances. As we returned to the dressing rooms I spoke to Jane. Whv didn’t you touch the goat’s head before our act? I saw you walk right past. Don’t you believe in him? Don’t be silly, Mabel.” she said, I don’t see how- you can be so stupid as to really believe in the luck of that silly goat’s head. Why he’s just a tradition that has grown up over the years. It is a nice tradition but it certainly doesn’t give you any luck!” Well, suit yourself, Jane, but I just don’t like to take chances. But, Mabel, I couldn’t have touched him if 1 had tried. Some couples were iust coming off the dance floor and were directly between me and the head and so T just decided to sec if anything happened if I didn't touch him, and you saw, nothing different happened. Oh, there’s the signtl for our next act. Good luck!” I thought about |anc and what she had said to me as I touched the goat’s head. Mavbc she was right. I noticed that she had a good chance to touch the goat's head this time, but she completely ignored him. This act went off fine. A couple of times I caught lane’s eye and she winked at mr. At the end of the dance we did a very tricky steo. Gertie almost fell. Then at the verv end Ian ’ fell. I could tell she hadn’t landed comfortablv but she managed to get up and walk off the floor. Then «hc f inred. We took her to the hospital. The doctor said she had broken her ankle, but he didn’t know how badly. This morning I heard from the doctor. He said. Jane will never be able to dance again! Mavbe there is nothing to this superstition, but still it’s awful easy to reach out and touch the goat’s head etch time before I go on. Janet Campbell, IX Group II, Honorable Mention 63 THE EGG FESTIVAL When I was in San Miguel Allendc, Mexico in 1946 I learned that life has many hard knocks. The knocks come during the egg festival which is held each year before Easter. The Mexicans prepare for this festival for a long time. When an egg is used, the women punch a hole in one end and let the contents drain out. The egg shells arc saved and later they arc painted and filled with confetti. Much time is spent on making beautiful paper flowers to sell at the festival. The main square is decorated to prepare for this festival. The egg festival is held at night and it lasts for three nights. On the night of the festival, all the boys come with some confetti-filled eggs. The paper flowers are sold everywhere you go. On the first night I went to the square with my mother and my aunt. We joined the crowds and waited for the band in the center of the square to start playing. The girls went in one direction around the inside of the square and the boys went in the opposite direction at the outside of the square. As the girls passed, the boys would reach out and crack the eggshells over the girls' heads. It may sound like a lot of fun, but more than once you would feel the boys' knuckles crack on your head. Your head ached after the night was over. One night was enough for me, so I spent the next two nights resting comfortably at the ranch where we were staying. As I said, life has many hard knocks, and during the egg festival it’s your head that gets all the knocks. Ann Chamberlain, VIII Group II, Honorable Mention THE LITTLEST ELF Once there were seven elves who lived in a beautiful snow castle on the edge of snow cloud. These elves were the snow elves, and every year about the month of September, the seven little elves got out their tools and began the long, hard task of making snowflakes. The first elf collected the chunks of ice. The second and third elves planned the snowflakes on paper, and the fourth drew the plan on ice. Then the fifth elf cut around the plan, and still the sixth, sawed all the flakes in half to make them thin and even. Finally, the littlest elf pushed one snow flake after the other off the cloud and sent them spinning through the air. But the littlest elf wasn’t happy, because all the other elves teased him and always said to him, You’re no good, the only thing you can do is push snowflakes off the cloud.” One night he had his chance to show he was good for more than pushing snowflakes off the cloud. After supper, the littlest elf went to bed and was just dozing off when he heard someone crying and sniffling. He toptoed softly to the window, and there, sitting on a hunk of ice was a little snowflake. The littlest elf said to him. Why arc you crying, little snowflake?” The snowflake stopped sniffling and looked up, Oh! he said in surprise, I, I didn’t think anyone was near. You see, your brothers didn’t want me to go down to earth ’cause I, I’m too p-plain, sniffled the poor little flake and burst out crying again. Well, maybe if I tried,” said the littlest elf, 1 could fix you up with my brother’s tools, but I’m not promising anything.” So the two little friends groped their way through the darkness until they fell over some of the tools. After five or ten minutes of hard work, there, before the littlest elf was the most beautiful snowflake he or his brothers (who had heard a lot of noise and had come to see what it was) had ever seen. So, the littlest elf had proved that he was good for more than just pushing snowflakes off the cloud. Ruth Morris, VI Group III, First Prize NOTHING EVER HAPPENS I wonder—” Polly straightened her hat and pushed the boys ahead of her. I wonder,” she mused to herself, how it is life can seem so exciting, when you think of what a woman does in the world. Make the bed, fix the meals, and water the plants, besides kissing your husband good night and good morning. It sounds terribly dull! I suppose it’s the little different things that make life worth living, even going into town and seeing a stranger and wondering about him. Nothing exciting really ever Like buying the newest baby a sweet little coat or bonnet, or buying Jimmy a fooball on his birthday, or happens—” Mommie, 1 thought you were going to Dayton’s,” Jimmie’s voice interrupted her thoughts. Why I am. dear,” Polly answered. We just passed it,” chimed in Jackie. 04 Goodness! I certainly can’t forget that! I’ve got to get the present for you to give Sarah Maud when you go to her party. Oh, that sissy! Gee, mom, she’s terrible! Do we have to go to that old party?’’ Jackie’s anxious face looked up into Polly’s. Yeah, she’s trying to get Jackie to walk in line with her and that practically means going steady,” Jimmie added wide-eyed. Jimmie, he’s only seven years old. Polly couldn’t keep back the laughter. Yes, I’m afraid you’ll have to go. It was nice of her to ask you, you know. Watch it on the escalator, boys. Jimmie! Polly grabbed for his coat but Jimmie had leaned too far over. She watched him going down, down—suddenly a pair of arms shot out. Jimmy dropped safely into them. Later, Jackie told, she had clung onto him while Jimmy was falling. Polly bought the present and hurried out of the store. The November sunshine was bright, but it gave no warmth, so she was about to go home when she remembered she hadn’t bought her Thanksgiving turkey. Goodness, this will never do! she thought. Hurry boys, we’d better buy our turkey, quickly. Here’s Mr. Jones’ grocery store. Hi, Mr. Jones! Do you have a candy for us? In answer the good grocer popped a candy into each waiting mouth. Come for your turkey, I bet. Well, it’s right he—’’ Squawk! Squawk! Squawk-awk! Help, mommic!” The squawking and yelling came from the turkey pen. Help—ouch—mommic! I don’t think this turkey likes me! Well, nothing much happens anyway,” Polly sighed. Jane Lowry, VI Group III, Honorable Mention OLD BILL AND TOMMY Rumble! rumble! That was the noise made by a little green truck as it rolled away to the trash heap with a load of things nobody wanted any longer. Old Bill sat in the driver’s scat muttering to himself, My soul, what a job this is. Every day the same old thing. Nothing exciting ever happens. All I do is drive this dump truck and empty garbage cans.” What’s the matter? piped a little voice beside him. Oh, nothing. I was just talking to myself. Tommy. My, you certainly sound melancholy,” said Tommy. Old Bill was the driver of the dump truck in the little village of Pine Trees. His little friend, Tommy, loved to drive with him. Nobody knew how long Old Bill had driven the dump truck. Even Old Bill had not kept track of the years. Nobody knew how old the man was. He must have been about ninety. At any rate. Old Bill was the friend of everybody. He was even the friend of old Mrs. Vandcr-sniff. Mrs. Vandersniff was very hard to get along with. She hated children. Whenever she came out of her beautiful white house all the children hid, even the biggest boy, Jack Lane. The dogs barked. All of a sudden there would be no children in sight. Old Bill was thinking about Tommy. The boy just loves this dump truck, he loves the dump pile, too. That’s where he got all the wood to make his little sister, Carol, a hobby horse, doll cradle, and a little rocking chair. Old Bill’s thoughts were interrupted by a bump as he and Tommy neared the trash pile. Old Bill turned a handle that let the back of the truck where the trash was held go down, slowly, very slowly. He got out of the truck with Tommy coming right after him. Old Bill, when we get back into the truck may I please bring the back of the truck up again? asked Tommy, looking up at Old Bill. Old Bill’s kindly eyes twinkled when he heard Tommy ask that. I don’t see why not, my boy.” Oh, thank you. Old Bill.” Tommy squeezed Old Bill’s hand in gratitude. Old Bill and Tommy were just going to burn the pile when Tommy spied something. Look, Old Bill! See what I found in the trash pile! A whole quarter, all for me. The little fellow’s eyes shone with happiness. Then Tommy looked at Old Bill. Old Bill’s clothes were ragged. His shoes were full of holes. He was very thin. Then Tommy looked at himself. Tommy wasn’t thin. His clothes weren’t ragged. What arc you going to do with your quarter?” questioned Old Bill. 65 Oh, you’ll find out, and when you do you’ll be happy!” said Tommy excitedly. The trash pile was burned. Old Bill let Tommy off a block from his house. Tommy jumped off the truck and ran home. Tommy’s mother was reading a magazine so she did not see Tommy run upstairs to chance his clothes, because the clothes he had on were so dirty. After Tommy had changed he ran to the store. There was a sale that day and everything was reduced. Hello, Tommy. May 1 help you? asked Mr. Stevens, the clerk. Oh, I'll just look around for awhile.” replied Tommy. He surveyed the articles in the men’s department. Pretty soon Tommy saw a very nice cap. It had been reduced to half price. Twenty-five cents was really a bargain for a fifty cent cap. Tommy bought the cap and ran home with it holding it carefully in a bag that the clerk had given him. Mommy! Mommy! See what 1 bought for Old Bill! A nice, new cap!” Tommy’s mother had stopped reading, and was now baking a cake. She looked up in surprise as Tommy burst into the kitchen. Why, Tommy! You know you shouldn’t shout like that in the house! I’ll let it go this time, though. Now what was it you were saying about Old Bill and a new cap? asked Tommy’s mother. Tommy told his mother the story. As soon as he had finished. Tommy’s mother gave him a hug. You’re a good boy. I’ll help you wrap the cap. Come upstairs. I just put the cake into the oven, so I won’t have to worry about it. Tommy and his mother went upstairs. Now, Tommy, which wrapping paper do you want to use? asked mother after she had gotten the paper and ribbon out. I’ll use this, the blue paper with the gold stars on it. I’ll use the dark blue ribbon with it. Tommy and mother wrapped the gift together because Tommy was not an expert on wrapping gifts. The next day Tommy walked to the dump. Old Bill was standing in the front of the dump, shading his eyes. He was looking at the sun. Here, Old Bill, I have this for a present, said Tommy shyly. Old Bill fumbled with the present a while and then opened it. Thank you. Tommy, ever so much, I need a new cap. I’ll always wear it. I just love it. To think of me, when you wanted something for yourself. We’ll be pals. Tommy. You’ll always have it on your soul. Remember that. Tommy was very happy. He had remembered an old man who was thin and had ragged clothes. Old Bill’s words lasted all Tommy’s life. Whenever he was sad he thought about Old Bill’s words. We’ll be pals. Tommy. You’ll always have it on your soul. Remember that. Elizabeth Light, V Group 111, Honorable Mention MY CAT My cat Can spit and spat, When she is angry.

The trees snap with a crackly sound, l or it is zero out tonight. As I stroll along the snowy street. What a wonderful thing I see, I:or Jack Frost has painted everything with light. A delicate flower on the window that’s mine, The lace-work of ice on the rose vine, And everything within my sight. Makes me think of a fairyland bright.

You’ve been rushing me all afternoon to get this meal ready and now you do nothing but sit and stare at it. I don’t know what’s come over you lately, but you hardly seem to know your own family. You seem so distant, that’s what it is. What time was it when you got in last night, boys? You never come say goodnight to Papa and me any more.” Mama Friedlander’s voice droned on and on. Max hardly paid any attention to her any more because it was always that way. She could never understand him and there was no point in trying to make her see that things were different now. Nothing would ever change as far as Mama was concerned. Max was still her little baby and nineteen years were like nineteen days in her thinking. All around this house, time altered people’s ways, but Mama and Papa Friedlandcr had made their home a refuge for all who wanted to escape the rush and bother of the world. Well, Max did not want to, and yet, here he sat like a stranger in his own family. When you get done eating, son, read a little of this book to me, will you? I’m trying , but it’s still awful hard, and, oh. Max, do go sec your Aunt Rachel. She’s pretty sick and I don’t trust those doctors. She always liked you, maybe just talking will help.” Aunt Rachel—he’s never forget that wonderful feast she prepared for the family after Max first became a real member of the synagogue. He was only twelve then. What a change seven years had made. C 7 He didn’t mind the different customs that went along with every festival then. He thought that that was what everybody did. But, now he knew, yes, he knew how shut up his life was. Sure, the people for two blocks around him spoke Hebrew, but that was all. Other people didn't, and they laughed at folks like his relatives who did. It wasn’t as if his family had just moved here. No, in fact, his mother and father were born here, in Brooklyn; but it had always been easier to cling to the old traditions than to learn new ways. Why, when the new Rabbi visited Mama, she was so upset she could scarcely eat. She just couldn’t understand that some Jewish people thought it was all right to speak English in service and to eat pork, and shrimp, and things like that. Why don’t you wait until your father comes home before you leave? He won’t be long and it would be nice if he could hear you read, too. You know. Max, Mrs. I.ichenstein had a little boy the other day, and you know what she’s naming him? Johnny. Oh, I don’t know what’s becoming of those people. They were so fine once, and now they act kind of strange toward us.” It is easy to sit here and remember. Max was thinking. The whole house was so full of memories. This was the room where he and his father always got ready for the Passover pageant. It used to be such fun to see all the family gathered together for that, and then suddenly it ceased to be fun. Instead, it became boring and tedious, and almost a waste of time. Yes, the three rooms of this house had seen a lot of joy, and a little sorrow, too. Maybe it would be harder than he had thought to leave them. Yet, he knew now that he was not coming back tonight. He was leaving never to return to this life. He would never sell fruit for a living like Papa. That was no good. There wasn’t any room for fruit peddlers in America now. He’s travel first. All over the continent. Somehow the money would turn up. It had to. Tonight at seven he was going to meet Tony up at the corner and they would leave. Leave their homes, their parents, all they’d ever known and never come back. Papa and I have been saying, boy, that pretty soon you ought to think about settling down. Oh. I know you aren’t interested in anyone special, but Mr. Mindel is anxious to marry off his daughters and you two would have fine looking children. Anyway, that’s the way it ought to be; the parents ought to be sure of each other, that’s all that really matters. You children are too young to know what's best. What do you say, Max?” Mama, let’s not talk about it. Give me a chance, will you, to meet somebody. Let me get away for awhile, then I’ll settle down. It’s no good always doing just what everyone before you has done. It’s just no good. I have to do something on my own once in a while; it’s the only way. Oh, Max, you make my heart ache when you talk that way. What was good enough for your grandfathers and their fathers, way back to Abraham, is certainly good enough for you.” How familiar that phrase was. When he hadn’t wanted to sing at the Synagogue but wanted instead to entertain in a vaudeville show up town, his parents had said that. How frightened they had seemed. It isn’t right,” they had said, for a boy your age to want to do evil things. If that’s what school is doing to you, you’ll have to stop going.” Maybe school had done it. There were many kids in his class who weren’t Jewish, many who were Irish. Right and wrong meant different things to them. Dancing and singing were part of their lives, why were they wrong in his? Then, there was Tony. Max’s family did not like Tony because his people were not good Jews. They did not care if they mixed meat and milk or even if their meat was not Kosher. Tony did not care, cither. He said it did not matter because lots of people hadn’t the slightest idea even as to what kosher meant. Pretty soon Max saw that. That is, he saw it after the first time he went shopping with his parents farther up town. It was a special occasion, his cousin was getting married and they simply had to have decent clothes. The people had laughed. Not aloud of course, but he could kind of feel them snickering. He had never noticed until then how short and stocky his parents had looked, and how kind of awkward they seemed. Oh, he’s never forget that moment for as long as he’d live. After that day, Max had stayed home and did not face other people with his folks. It was just too terrible. 68 He hud heard his mother use that phrase one other time when he had skipped his Sabbath eve supper at home. He could have blamed that on Tony, but the truth was that he had wanted to go along with Tony to a party west of his district and he had had to leave early to get there on time. He learned then what it was like to be joked about. All evening the others had laughed at him and his family because they didn’t get around.” He left early, before Tony knew it, and Max could feel his face burning with embarrassment all the way home. Max, explain to me what this congress really is. I do not understand it well. Why, what is the matter?” Max had gotten up. How could he explain Congress to Mama? She scarcely knew what America was. She needed no nation. Her loyalties were in the two or three blocks around her. Max had been sent to school because that was required, and there he had learned that people who did not mix with other kinds of persons weren’t really part of America. Well, that pretty well fit his parents and would fit him, too, if he wasn’t smarter. He knew that his leaving would hurt Mama, but she’d never know until tomorrow when she saw that he was still gone. Then maybe she would not worry. Well, she probably would at that. So what, if he stayed here that would make one less real citizen. One more to make America weak. ’’You haven’t eaten enough, son, but maybe going out into the air will help you a little. I hope so.” Max moved to the door and put his jacket on. Funny, he thought, the room looked so warm and cozy now. Seemed strange that he’d never noticed that. His mother wasn’t so shabby, or—was she? Dear old Mama, so loyal and loving; he’d miss her. In the pantry he caught sight of the two sets of dishes and the Sabbath lights. He’d miss those, too. Well, slulom. Mama, shalom. Don’t wait up for me, Mama, I may be late.” He did not have the courage to turn hack to look at her face. All right, son, but don’t forget tomorrow. You sing at the synagogue.” Barbara Finch, XII Group I, First Prize THE CHOICE Twilight was approaching as the sun just vanished from sight. There was still a brilliant glow over the horizon, and to Christine, as she watched it from the train window, it seemed as if all her ambitions and hopes had disappeared from the world with the setting of the sun, and now her life was plunged into the blackness of despair. She gazed longingly at the pink clouds, wishing that she were not so despondent and that she might be filled with the glory of the world in order to fully enjoy and appreciate the beauty. Time passed, and Christine was momently lulled to sleep by the regular rhythm of the clicking wheels. Suddenly she was rudely awakened by the bright headlights of a car waiting at a crossing for the train to pass. Now, as she looked out of the window, the fields of wheat were almost black. Occasionally she caught a glimpse of a farmhouse and barn silhouetted against the sky. Probably the farmers were doing their last chores in the barn, seeing that the animals were safe for the night, and the wives were inside the house washing the supper dishes, while the children were playing a last game before going to bed. Christine resented the fact that they could be so happy and content, while she could no longer sec any joy in life. Last call for dinner. Last call for dinner.” The porter’s announcement brought Christine out of her reverie and back to the present. She looked at her watch. Eight-thirty. A whole three more hours! It seemed as if time were moving backwards instead of forwards. For days she had looked forward to the time when she would be safe at home, away from the larger world, and now that each minute was carrying her nearer and nearer, she was even more impatient to get there. How wonderful it would be again to see her Mother, of whom she was so fond. She thought of Mr. Crawford, the proprietor of the little general store that served as the meeting house for Rocky Springs. He would probably be as lively as ever, and how nice it would be to see him, too, for he had always been like a Father to her, since her own Father had died when she was still a baby. 69 It was Thursday, so her Mother probably had met with the Sewing Circle, for every housewife in Rocky Springs belonged to it. How fond were all these memories to Christine! It was entirely dark now. All that could be seen was the reflection of the lights on the window. Maybe if she read a magazine, the time would pass more quickly. When Christine bent over to pick one up from the floor where she had left it, a cold shudder suddenly reverberated through her body as she caught sight of the large, cumbersome, white bandage that completely enveloped her left hand. She had tried to forget about it, but she couldn’t. Her memory flashed back to the weeks of hopeful waiting in the hospital in Chicago and the terrible moment when the doctors told her that she would never be able to use that hand again. What a shock that had been, and she had not yet recovered from it! Life was hardly worth living any more, for never again could she play the music she loved. All her hopes of becoming a pianist were dashed away forever. The doctors were very sympathetic, but they could do nothing to alleviate the gloom of despair that settled at once over her. As soon as she was well enough to leave the hospital, Christine boarded the first train to Rocky Springs. She couldn’t even bear to go back to the Conservatory just once to bid farewell to her friends and professors, because she had been so happy there, that it would have been too painful. How happy she had been a year ago when she had gone over these same tracks on her way to Chicago and to the Conservatory, for then she had been on her way for a career of music. Christine remembered that she had always liked playing the piano ever since she was a little girl. She used to spend hours at the little old rickety piano in the parlor, while the other children played games outside. They used to tease her because she was so so-phis-ti-cat-cd.” Mrs. Simmons, the postman’s wife, who was a good pianist herself, recognized Christine’s talent and gave her lessons. When she was sixteen years old Christine entered a contest that was being held in the next city. She went with her Mother, and the fifty miles to Akron was Christine’s first train ride. There were hundreds of other boys and girls who had journeyed there to enter in one of the contests. It was ail very exciting to hear the others play, and when her turn came, Christine was momentarily terror-stricken. There she was, all alone on a large stage in front of so many strangers! For years Christine had played at the high school commencement, but then she had known every single person in the audience. As soon as Christine had started playing her piece, Beethoven’s 'Tathctique Sonata,” she lost herself completely in the music and forgot all about the audience. How wonderful the piano sounded! It had such a beautiful tone! Christine had never played on such a big piano, for grand pianos were not to be found in Rocky Springs. When the last note had been played she was reluctant to leave the piano, for it was at that moment that Christine realized that she wanted to play the piano ail her life. A whole new life was opened to Christine, for she won the contest and was awarded a scholarship to the music conservatory in Chicago where she could study and play music to her heart’s content. How happy she had been during those nine months of study at the Conservatory. I ler professors declared that she had remarkable talent, but that it would take years to perfect her technique. That did not bother Christine, for she was willing to practice all day long if necessary because she enjoyed that kind of life so much. Then, the worst happened. Christine was seriously injured in an automobile accident. The cloud of her happy existence was shattered and she was a poor, lonely girl in the middle of a large city without any hopes or ambitions. There was only one thing to do—to go home and live with her Mother and to be deprived of everything she wanted; and here she was, on the train and almost home, her happy existence was shattered and she was a poor, lonely girl in the middle of a large city without Ten-thirty. Most of the passengers in the coach were turning out their lights and going to sleep. It was very black outside and droplets of rain were beginning to patter against the windowpanc. They fell faster and faster, and soon the Heavens rebelled and sent forth bright flashes of lightning followed by loud claps of thunder. Christine remembered that she had left Rocky Springs in a thunder storm, too. There had been so much muddy water in the streets that the taxi had been stalled and she had almost missed the train. How insignificant her town was in comparison to Chicago. Rocky Springs had no skyscrapers, elevateds,” art museums, or concert halls. It would be hard to settle down and forget about all these things that she had grown so accustomed to. From now on she would be leading a very uneventful life. She hoped that she would be able to forget the past. 70 On the other hand, what satisfaction could she gain from this dull life of eating, sleeping, sewing, and gossiping? Christine sat up with a start, for she suddenly realized that she could never again be content with this confined small town life. She was not going to admit defeat and retire from the world, but she was going to live her life and enjoy it! There was still music in the world, and, although she could no longer play the piano, she would still be able to listen to it, or teach it, or maybe even compose her own music, but she was never going back to Rocky Springs. Christine sighed with relief, for now she was happy and knew what she wanted. She leaned back in her chair and soon fell asleep. She did not even hear the porter call, Next stop is Rocky Springs. All out for Rocky Springs.” The train rushed on through the dark. It had left the thunder storm now, and the stars were beginning to come out. All was very peaceful. Molly Doff, XII Group I, Honorable Mention DID CAESAR DESERVE HIS DEATH? Let us stop a moment from the simple reading and understanding of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, and transport ourselves back into the age of Roman rule a few days after the death of Caesar. Here we are surrounded by beautiful architecture, lovely scenery, and men, women, and children wrapped in garments we now refer to as togas. Some people seem confused and fearful, while others move about with a look of triumph on their faces. Since our objejet is to find out, in the opinion of these Roman people, if Caesar deserved his death, let us stop one of the passing citizens and question him. Citizen, how do you feel about the death of the noble Caesar? As for me, sir, 1 feel he was unjustly wronged. Caesar was a strong and able man. He helped build Rome into a great empire by his conquests. If the great Caesar had lived to complete his life, I feel he would have made Rome a master city of cities. Caesar was what our city needed. Caesar loved us all and he mentioned us in his wills, Antony said so!” There men who claim they have done all Rome and the Romans a great favor are nothing but greedy fiends! They wish to dictate over our lands and they among all men are not suited for this. And Brutus, hah! He says that he loved Caesar. He claims he thrust a daggar into his well beloved friend not that he loved Caesar less, but loved Rome more. Trying to prey on our feelings, that was his idea. Antony! Mark Antony is the man Rome needs. He opened our closed eyes to the truth about 'honourable' Brutus, 'honourable Cassius and Casca. Down with those evil murderers!” Let us now move to another citizen. Here’s a man. I heard my fellow citizen disclaim Brutus and the other conspirators. Oh, sir, he is wrong, all wrong! Caesar was a tyrant. He deserved his death even before he got it. He would have ruined Rome as a city. As the Empire grew by his famous conquests, so did Caesar. Caesar grew too big for his position. He would that he might have Rome under his dominion. Those who loved Caesar, loved him well. Those who hated him had their reasons. Brutus loved Caesar but in his murder of him, he did a favor to all humanity, for which the world will long remember him. I don't disclaim Mark Antony for he was a close friend to Caesar, but Rome would soon have been enslaved under the two of them. Antony and his speeches swayed me not, although some of my foolish brethren have fallen for his fancy talk. Brutus was simple and to the point in his speech while Antony kept contradicting his own words. While 1 admire Antony, Brutus is the man for Rome. But I have tarried long enough: 'Tis time all Roman citizens were at work, as 1 see most are but me. Fare ye well!” 71 Joyce Howard, X First Prize, Group I. Essays DID CAESAR DESERVE HIS DEATH? From my point of view I think that Caesar definitely did deserve his death. There is a great deal of truth in what Brutus told us that day after Caesar’s death. I also believe, as Brutus does, that Caesar was too ambitious. If Caesar had ever received the crown, which I believe he might have, it would have been very serious to us all, for Caesar would have been too overcome with this new honor and very easily could have used it against us. As a Roman, I do not believe that any one man should have as much power as he did and, if he had lived, he would have had still more. I have always feared the power of Caesar ever since that day when he came home in triumph over Pompey. It was easily shown by all how far Caesar’s power extended. It was obvious to me then that most of the Roman people would do anything to please him. You may wonder why Antony’s speech did not move me. Maybe it is because 1 have always had a great deal more respect for Brutus than for Antony. I knew Brutus was sincere and truthful, but with Antony I was not completely sure. Antony has always impressed me as being a light-hearted and irresponsible man. I do not say that I was not at all stirred by Antony, for this would not be true. I will admit that I was not sure for a while whom to believe but now 1 have formed an opinion which I will keep. My brother, Lucius, has volunteered to write his opinion on the matter of Caesar’s death. My brother has told you his opinion of Caesar's death, now it is my turn. Both of us are writing down our opinions because we disagree so much. I think that Caesar should not have been killed and that his death was the most terrible and tragic thing that could have happened. Antony was right about Caesar not being ambitious. Caesar has shown to me, by his will, that he had not his own interests at heart but ours, the people’s. Further proof of this is the fact that he did not accept the crown on the I.upcrcal that day when Antony offered it to him. I, too, believe as my brother does, that Brutus was sincere and would not have killed Caesar if he had not thought it right. However, Brutus was wrong in his thinking and did a grievous wrong when he killed Caesar, which 1 believe should be avenged. Caesar did not deserve his death for he never did any harm and only good for the Roman people. I will not be satisfied until Brutus and Cassius and the rest of the conspirators arc all dead. Even then, 1 will grieve over the death of Caesar. Eva Seed, X Group I, Honorable Mention, Essay AND TO THE LUCKY LISTENER GOES— Quiz programs arc ruining the health of the American public. To back up my strong statement of disgust let me take you to the radio side of a typical American family. The announcer remarks craftily that, all you have to do is identify the mystery sentence as tapped out for you with toothpicks on a glass-top table. For this brilliant deduction you will receive absolutely free of charge the Brooklyn Bridge, the island of Cuba, Tyrone Power, and a life-time subscription to the 'Hog Caller’s Gazette’.” Father, while tensely awaiting the drop of the first toothpick, glances through the latest issue of Primitive Sounds and What They Mean.” Mother nervously drops a stitch of the sweater she promised the announcer if only you’d give us a ring.” Jeanne, meanwhile, is frantically conjugating Latin verbs and writing out French word charts, so that she too, may drive herself crazy in the suspense before a five-year supply of Yo-yo strings, a whole set of Bobsey Twin Books and an Egyptian mummy arc awarded to the lucky listener. But Don, age five, the youngest member of the family, has it all figured out. Why, it’s simple, he thinks. It’s just 'All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth’.’’ Of course, he wouldn’t dream of letting anyone else in on his big secret, because he would rather take the sixty lessons on the flute that come along with the three tons of dead, but smoked fish, a fountain pen guaranteed to write on Mars and a one-way trip to the South Sea Islands for himself. The great moment has arrived. Just as the M.C. is ready to drop the first toothpick, the sponsor rushes on stage to say a little about Mother Murphy’s Meatballs. Having practically collapsed during the 72 suspense, the family listens disgustedly to a few well chosen words about how to cook Mother Murphy’s Meatballs. A golden, munchy, crunchy, brown in milk. Otherwise the family looks pretty much as they would before a judge who is deciding whether to send them to the chair or not. Just as the first tap of the glass top table is heard, the announcer in their hometown interrupts to say, This is CBS, the National Broadcasting Company, and the program you have just been listening to has gone bankrupt for trying to give away President Truman’s balcony. Oh! It’s just the way the ball bounces,’’ you say, but what of our poor expectant typical American Family? Therefore: I still say Quiz programs are ruining the health of the American public. Mary MacPhail, X Group I, Honorable Mention ON THE ADVANTAGES OF BEING A HUMAN MALE Mother, I’ve finished the dishes, swept the kitchen floor, and vacuumed the dining room. Er, may I have the car tonight? I’m sorry, dear, but your brother is going out tonight. • � � � � � � The above situation can be heard echoing through nearly any home in America. In fact, a similar occurrence could no doubt lx televised from anywhere in the world. It is just one concrete example of the advantage of being a man. Any man—though he be John L. Lewis, President Truman, or Casper Milquetoast—has at one time found himself in a place that he can out-step a woman. This ability comes not from superior intelligence (as some men propose), better physical form, or a well-developed will, but from the advantage society has given him. Society has decreed that he live the role of an adventurous, charming Casanova to whose beck and call women flock. He spends most of his time at his office or club, but during those few priceless hours he deigns to give his home, he throws all system to the winds. Who else but a man can hold up dinner on the maid’s night out and miss her fiery glance? Who but he can wrestle with the hairy dog in the living room before company comes? And yet, don’t think for a moment that a man receives this advantage as one receives a sheepskin. He doesn’t work for it, he’s born with it. Big brother can draw the largest allowance for clothes and spending without so much as a dishtowel. Baby Bill, too, can use his birthright to good advantage. Remember, it is he who can’t abide baby sitters and for whose peace of mind you sat out the Spring Prom on the living room sofa. No male need ever curl his hair or laqucr his nails for the betterment of his popularity. His untidiness can be brushed aside with, Oh, he’s the casual, devil-may-care type. On the other hand, even if his female relatives do all his shopping, he is accredited with good taste. Someone has said that the nineteenth amendment has made women men’s equal. But who will believe it? First of all, for whom can she vote? The answer, of course, is—a man, for although there are a few women congress women, is not the president a man? Secondly, for whom does a woman vote? This answer is naturally—her husband’s choice. Although a woman has a mind of her own, she does not give up her happy home to vote a Democratic ticket when her husband is a Republican. One could go on indefinitely listing his advantages. His ability to forget and be forgiven, his queer likes and dislikes that rule a woman—all these arc examples. Even his carefree existence, free from hairpins, lipsticks and garters proves that although a woman can control it for a time, This is a man’s world.” Helen Repp, XI Group r, Honorable Mention 73 1948 Commencement TRUSTEES’ AWARD Elizabeth Ann Barry Kathryn Harper WELLESLEY COLLEGE AWARD (Highest Honors in English) Kathryn Harper Jean Hiatt SMITH COLLEGE AWARD (Highest Honors in French) Kathryn Harper VASSAR COLLEGE AWARD (Highest Honors in Social Studies) Elizabeth Ann Barry WHEATON COLLEGE AWARD (Highest Honors in I.atin) Barbara Finch Dorothy Witt WELLS COLLEGE AWARD (Highest Scholastic I lonors in Senior Class) Kathryn Harper 74 75 “Starts miles of smiles” MITCHELL BATTERIES manufactured by MITCHELL BATTERY COMPANY Office 1209 W.
