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

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

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
