Class; of 1951 Under Miss Pease’s expert guidance the Class of 1951 ltad another fine year. At our first meeting we elected Diane Robinson President and Joyce Howard Secretary-Treasurer. We were proud to have Sis Howe and Janice Stephens as Co-Treasurers of the League. While we were not studying (we flew to Imry our noses in our books after our talks with Miss Spurr about college), we managed to find time to let the rest of the school know we were here through our representation on all the committees, clubs, and varsity teams. We also partici| ated in the annual Bazaar. Our projects were a style show, with clothes from Dayton’s and models from all the classes, a fish pond, and the auction of a Northrop doll, made complete with uniform by some of otir talented classmates. The big event of the year was the J.S.. which was a huge success. Another high point was the receiving of our class rings. Since we are alwavs different, we are the first class to have red stones, so watch for us in 1951 ! 42 fkoxi row: Shirley ( oo l, Ruth Head, second row: Judy Bradford, Nellie Atwater.

Our skit for Old Girls Party for the New was only one of the ways in which we participated in school activities. Members of our class took part in both Stage Door and Chonita. At the Northrop Bazaar we sold records, flowers, articles of handicraft, and many other things. We added two extra feathers to our caps by winning against Summit in the Hockey Field Day and by coming out in first place in the Taller Ad Contest, thus lengthening our spring vacation by half a day and incurring the envy of the whole school. One of the things we most enjoyed was attending the League Dance for the first time. Another high point of the year was our own liarn dance at the Glenwood ( lialet. Hearing up heroically under the tension. Miss Gray, our sjKinsor. Joan Moore, our President, and Janet Campbell, our Secretary-Treasurer helped us solve our ‘insoluble’ problems. 4J Front row: Dorcy Caswell, Margo Harris, Catherine Brown, Mary Whittington, Mary Fullerton.

Clastf of 1953 The Freshman Class, forty strong, swept through the year from success to success. Under the leadership of Barbara Osborne and Kuthie Bennett, Co-Captains, we triumphed over the up| er classes to win the hockey tournament. Then we helped start a Junior Dramatic Club and a Junior Publications Committee, besides joining in all the rest of the school activities. Another new organization very popular with us was our own Ninth Grade Chorus. At Christmas we gave the moving play, ll'hy the Chimes Rant , for the rest of the school. A highlight of the year was our dance held in the auditorium. It is with regret that we leave the Junior Study Hall after such a wonderful year under the helpful leadership of our advisor. Miss Blodgett, our President. Mamie Rogers, and our Secretary-Treasurer, Sue Leek. However, we have high hopes for our future as Sophomores next fall. 44 front row: Sara Cast . Anne Gillette.

When the committee lists were posted in the fall, we were pleased to notice that every eighth grader was on a committee. We have enjoyed learning to play hockey, soccer, and basketball this year, and we are looking forward to playing in the tournaments next fall. Our own big athletic contest was the annual Xewcomb game against the Seventh Grade, which we won by a score of 23-10 before ad- journing to the Crosby Room for the presentation of our trophy and refreshments. In spite of our apprehensions, we came through midyear exams with eleven honor roll members, four of whom were on the First Honor Roll. We are very proud of Nancy Addy, who took first prize in the Scholastic Art Contest, and of Anne Mintener, who won an honorable mention in the same class. We have had a happy and busy year under direction of Mrs. Sicard. 45 from ipi kk left: Corinnc dcLaittre, Phyllis Gage, Laura Andrews, Jane Ritchie. Sarah Canny.

Probably the most imj ortant of these is getting used to the Upper School. Although you may still occasionally l� a s a slow dresser ambling up to the third floor from gym, exclaiming, “What! Two minutes? Impossible1”. we are all awfully glad to have the privilege of wearing our blue wool jumpers, finding our wav from class to class, and taking part in the activities of all the Junior committees. Our patient advisor. Miss Ellinwood, has been a great help to u as we accustomed ourselves to all these changes. At Christmas we collected toys to Ik distributed to less fortunate children, and we gave ourselves a party complete with quiz program in the Crosby Room. Each member of the class gave a ten-cent present to the jjerson whose name she drew from a hat. The surprise packages contained everything from Ping-j� ong lialls to cold cream. After Christmas we elected Corinne de Laittre President and Helen Snyder Secretary-Treasurer. We heard with pride that Carol Nelson had won a first prize in the Scholastic Art Contest. Next year we expect to win the Newcomb Trophy. 46 I. KPT to right: Sornlra Swanson, Klizabcth Light, Judith Knud son, Cheryl 1-ampc. Beatrice Crosby, Ann Brockman, Lyn Nesbitt.

W e have been allowed to eat lunch in the Crosby Memorial Room, but even more important, we received sj ecial new badges to wear on our uniforms. The diamond-sha|x d badge has an X and a 6 on a navy blue background. In addition to contributing money to the Xorth-rop Welfare Fund, the Community Chest, and the Junior Red Cross, we filled fourteen Red Cross boxes and made Halloween hats which were distributed to hospitals. With the Fourth Grade, we took a science tour to the Armory Gardens in September and were given cotton branches which later bloomed for us. Every Thursday we have had a French luncheon with Mrs. Howell to test our power of conversation. Coder Miss Cram’s direction, we put on an operetta, Six Who Pass While the Lentils foil, for some of our classmates. The big party of the year was the Fathers and Daughters' Banquet, which was held in November. Though this has lieen a wonderful year with Mrs. Chamberlain, the sixth graders are eager to become a part of the Upper School in Septemlier. 47 ! |Kth7au� VU 1 VlV h t1!?'iN;raha'.'V ‘lu'U-n G?ai-f.

In the fall they were pleasantly surprised by a new room with a gaily painted screen and a radio. The radio has Ijeen used often in connection with their studies. Two of the most interesting things they learned about this year were plants and seeds and the library. To study the former they planted flowers and vegetables themselves and watched them grow. W hen they began to use the library, they first had to learn the library system. After they were used to that, they read many liooks of their own choosing and gave reports on them to the class. At Faster they made luncheon sets for the Red Cross. They used doilies for place mats and they made clever nut cups whose bases were painted Coca-Cola tops. Though they hate to say good-bye to Miss Marzolf, they look forward to being seniors of the Lower School. 48 IN cikclb—left to KiciiT: Kate Lowry, Margaret Nelson, Jill Campbell.

Jfourti) The main project of the Fourth Grade this year was an exhibit on Indian life. In the room across the hall from them they arranged a display of authentic pieces of clothing, types of pottery, and many other things which were collected from the Faculty and various class memliers. Observant visitors and upper classmen enjoyed the colorful Indian mural, displayed on the wall by the Office, which they planned and painted themselves. In music class they rabe had fun playing their Flut-o-phones and practising Indian dances. They took their fathers to the bathers' and Daughters' Banquet in November and went with the Sixth Grade to the Armory Gardens in September in connection with their science class. Of course they have learned about sentence forms, punctuation, and many other things which they expect to find useful later on. They have had a fine year with Mrs. Donald. 49 left to right: Leslie Stein, Bridget Bagley, Connie Hughes, Alex Light, Carolyn deLaittre, Georgia Overholt. Nancy Cook, Mamie Miller. Margie Barrows.

ZTljtrb £rabe The third Grade took the three R’s seriously this year and had a good time doing it with Miss Nelson. They studied everything from arithmetic fundamentals and reading to speech and music. But all their time was not spent in studying. They helped fill Red Cross ! oxes with clothing and other things for people overseas. They came with their fathers to the Fathers' and Daughters' Banquet. cconb rabe The Second Grade made good use of their large new room this year. While they were studying Indians, they built a big tepee in one corner and found that it was a wonderful place to play.

With the co-operation of the Senior High School, it has taken effective action against unruly study halls. improjxT uniforms, and congestion in the halls. The daily life of the Junior High is supervised bv the Junior School Procedure Committee. This year the Committee concentrated largely upon the lx tterment of school conduct. Reforms were encouraged in Study Hall, library, and chapel conduct.

It also collected Thanksgiving food and clothes for children in Europe. This year the Junior Public Relations Committee has not only helped the Senior Committee, but it has also carried on its own projects. Its big Community Chest project, the annual Dog Show, was a great success in the fall, drawing canine contestants from far and wide.

All inter-class tournaments are organized and sponsored by this committee, which also plans afterschool skating and skiing. In order to raise extra money, the girls held food sales at some of the games. There was a new interest in cheers this year, and several jx p sessions were held before representative cheer leaders were chosen. In spite of their enthusiasm and new uniforms, however, we won only one game against Summit. By sponsoring a Posture Week, the Junior Athletic Committee this year attempted to improve the notorious X.C.S. slump. Its success can Ik measured by a casual glance around the school. '1'his group planned a successful skating party for the Junior High this winter. The annual Seventh-Eighth Grade Newcomb game for possession of the rabbit trophy was s|x nsored by the committee, which also assisted the Senior Committee in planning the Ping-pong tournament.

The customary rivalry between Whites and Blues was brought to its fall climax at the Varsity Hockey game. The cheer leaders, Christine Chardon and Sandra Van Fossen for the Whites and Nancy Bros and Ann Cullen for the Blues, took advantage of the rivalry to lead some lusty cheering.

She, in turn, gave me a slobbery scoop of her tongue. Ginger was the cutest thing I had ever seen in my eleven years. She was a golden Cocker with long, long cars—she step|)cd on them a lot of the time— a little black nose like a toy dog’s, and big, round, deep brown eyes. She was small for a Cocker, even though she was full-grown. I could make her tail wag just by looking at her. She was a very good dog, anti, beyond doubt, the baby of the family. I started out of the kitchen, but went back on second thought to say a few words to Ginger. Listen, I said, tonight's Christmas eve, so please don’t howl or hark, and pul-csc don’t make my sister, Anne, wheeze. You don’t know her very well, because she just got home from college two days ago, but anyway, she’s allergic to dogs and they make her wheeze. She likes you, but she can’t help it if you make her wheeze, so please don't. Sleep tight. I shut the kitchen door as (|uietly as I could, and ran upstairs. Anne was in her room, all ready for bed, reading a book. I felt extremely proud that I was staying up as late as she was. She was six years, three months, and two clays older than I, and I was very proud of her. I stood in her doorway. “What are you reading? “A French book.” Written in French?” Well, of course, what did you think—in Latin1 No, but I couldn’t ever read anything in French. Sure, you could. Say, I know a joke you can play on Mother and Daddy. “What? I asked, delighted that Anne was going to pay some extra attention to me. Well, I'll tell you something to say in French, and you go say it to Mother and Daddy. Ixt’s see. Say, ’Anne a dit que Ginger cst unc belle chicnne.’ What docs it mean, first?” “Anne says (linger is a beautiful dog.” I was so glad to hear Anne say something about (linger that I almost ran oil to tell them without learning how to say it. It was very important to me that Anne and Ginger get on well together. I practiced my great speech several times, and then we went in to Mother and Daddy. I walked to the middle of the room, and took a deep breath. “Anaditqucgingcrachecn. What? they said in unison. Annaditquegingerachcen.” Belle chicnne, whispered Anne. Belcheen. I said, with a big grin. Oh. say it just a bit slower, Mother said. I did. and they finally understood my French. A few minutes later I was in bed, and asleep, dreaming of what fun (linger, Anne, Mother, Daddy, and I would have opening presents the next morning. But the next morning, when I woke up. I smelled a familiar smell. I almost burst into tears when I smelled it, because it was asthamador, and Anne only burned asthmador when she had an allergy. Ginger had given Anne the allergy, and so now they would put her in a kennel until Anne left in another week and a half. I wanted to run and hide Ginger, but I know it wouldn’t do any good. When I had bought her three months earlier, they had said, You can get her, but you might have to give her away if she bothers Anne too much. Why was it that I had to have an allergic sister and a liking for dogs at the same time? If I hadn't liked dogs, her allergy would never have bothered me. And, if she hadn't had allergies, I would have had at least two or three pets. But as it was, I had to wait for eleven years before I could have a pet of my own. Every Christmas and every birthday since I could remember, I had asked for a pet of some kind—dog, cat, squirrel, or even a mouse. For several years, I suffered along with two turtles and six gold fish, but I couldn’t teach them to do any tricks, no matter how hard I tried. I tried to teach one turtle to follow my finger around the Boor, but he just sat and blinked his eyes as if he were the Emperor of Rome. Still hoping I would some day get the chance to own a pet, I saved my money, and, believe me, it wasn’t easy to earn money. I sold bunches ot dandelions to the college boys at one cent a bunch; I sold Cool-Adc by the hospital, and made an amazing two dollars in two clays; I auctioned ofl my duplicate stamps, and any other junk—pencils, gyroscoj)cs, books, toys—that I didn't want, and finally I humiliated myself by doing my sister’s chores for a small fee. I saved my money, and when I finally counted it out to buy my dog, I had twenty of the necessary twenty-five dollars. The day my sister left for college I got my dog. Now, just when I was going to have so much fun with (finger during Christmas vacation, Anne had to get all sloped up. I slowly climbed out of bed and opened the door. I could hear Mother and Daddy talking. Do you think we ought to call the doctor?” I don't know. When we get the dog out of the house, she may be all right. I walked slowly into the room, and, as soon as Mother looked at me, I burst into tears. Don't cry. She’ll only be gone a while. Anne can hardly breathe, and something has got to lx done. I'm sorry, too.” I walked down the hall and stumbled down the stairs, the tears streaming down my face. When 68 I opened the kitchen door. Ginger lifted her head and wagged her tail as fast as she could. I crawled under the stove, put my head beside her while she licked up my tears. After a minute or two. Ginger got up and walked out to the middle of the floor, where she stretched anti yawned, shaking her head and giving a little squeak. I didn’t think I could bear to have her away for a week and a half. She probably wouldn’t even know me after that long a time. Datldy appeared in the doorway, and said, You'd better go up and put on your clothes. We have to take her over to St. Paul to the kennels. I’ll put her outside. I stumbled back up the stairs. Anne came out of her room. She looked awful. Her eyes were running and blood shot, her face was blotchy, and she was so stuffed up she could scarcely talk. I'm sorry, Margaret. I knew she really meant it, and I felt sorry for her, too. It's okay, I said as I went into my room. I didn’t feel like talking. I Ialf an hour later we drove up in front of the kennels. Nobody had said a word since we left the house except (linger, who had barked at all the other dogs she had seen on the way. I picked her up as we entered the building, and made up my mind not to cry. It was gray and gloomy inside, and very quiet. Finally a fat, sickly, disagreeable looking woman opened a door anti approached us. “What do you want? We wanted to lx ard the dog for a week or so. I called about an hour ago. Daddy explained. Oh, ya. Well, come on in here and I'll register it. She sjxike in a slow, irritated way as if we were imposing on her, and her use of it to refer to Ginger made me grit my teeth and hold Ginger tighter. With a dirty hand she pullet! a white card and stub of a pencil out of a desk drawer, and began to fire questions. Breed? Cocker Spaniel. “Male or otherwise?” Female,” I said very emphatically. Age? “Eleven months and twenty-two days. Precise, ain’t we? she sneered. I frowned anti saitl nothing. Okay. That’s all. We can put her away now. Follow me. I hated this horrid woman, but I was forced to follow by Daddy’s hand on my back. We walked down a long corridor, and into a room lined with cages. As soon as we entered, a tlog looked eagerly out of every cage, barking excitedly. They all looked so pitiful, as if they wanted to Ik- taken away from that awful place as fast as possible. “This one will do, saitl the woman, opening a huge cage on the Ixjttom row. “Stick it in. I walked over very slowly, and kneeled down, taking lots of time. I let Ginger down slowly, and set her inside the cage. The woman was forcing the door shut impatiently, so I had to leave (linger. As stx n as the tltxir clicked shut. Ginger began to whine, and look at us with doleful eyes. We hurried out of the room, anil kick down the corridor. I choked back the tears, but my eyes were all bleary. We climbed into the car without a word and started for home. Finally Datldy broke the silence anti said, in a way that sounded as if he weren’t sure whether he dared say it, Nobody has saitl 'Merry Christmas’ yet.

I want, I-I want that-that mischief-maker, stuttered Mr. Hishchaple. Hut. sir, he is floating down to earth on a snowflake, explained his secretary. Not again! he stormed. You sec, Mr. Hishchaple was the President of the Snowflakcrs who made snowflakes and floated them down to earth. But there was one little Snowflakcr named Selfa who always wanted to go down to earth, so he floated down on a snowflake. Poor Mr. Hishchaple didn’t know what to do. .Selfa was the best snowflake maker in the clouds. “If Selfa doesn’t stop floating to earth.

Well, why don’t you lire him?” “All right.' I will! The next day Selfa was fired. Mr. Hishchaple hated to see Selfa go, hut he thought he had a plan. He decided to have a talk with Selfa. “Selfa, why don't you float down to earth and stay a while? asked Mr. Hishchaple. “Say, that’s a good idea. I'll try it,” said Selfa A short time later Mr. Hishchaple sent Selfa down to earth. Poor Selfa, he never thought earth was like that! 11c was almost trampled to death. After an hour's time, he went back to the clouds and rested. The next day he went to Mr. Hish-chaplc's office and pleaded, “Oh, Mr. Hishchaple, please give me my job back.

To tell you about my adventures there would take up much too much of your valuable time, so I shall continue with another minor incident from my experiences. This particular adventure began with a letter. It was from a friend of mine, who, knowing of my oratorical ability, requested that I come to London to help defend him in a trial. He stated his ease, which seemed a worthy one, and enclosed my passage aboard the good ship “Albatross.” The ship left that afternoon with many other unfortunate passengers aboard. Midway in our journey we hit a rock and sprung a leak. The ship sank immediately. I know not what became of my shipmates. I. however, thinking quickly, got into a large vat used for preparing soup for the ship’s company. I floated in this manner for two days. Karly in the third day I sighted a small island. I reached the island late in the afternoon. 1 threw myself on the ground and slept for what 1 judge to be an additional two days. When I awoke, I realized that I had been olT the ship for five days. My friend’s trial was in less than a week, and by the looks of things I was not going to arrive in time to save him. As I was pondering on this problem, I was startled by savage roars coming from the jungle behind me. I turned quickly and beheld a sight horrible enough to turn cold the blood of the staunchest hero. A wild lx ar was bearing down on me, his eyes fiery red and his mouth wide open! Now, boys and girls, I cannot truthfully say that I was not frightened at this spectacle, and as 1 always adhere strictly to the truth I must concede to this weakness of character. I was, in a word, terrified. Overcome with fear. I leaped into the water, swimming as fast as I could. The lx ar pursued me relentlessly, however, anti after three or four hours I began to grow tired. Just as I thought all was lost, I spied a huge sandbar ahead. I climbed onto it and sat there, preparing to meet my doom courageously. I closed my eyes and waited. As nothing happened, I opened them again. To my complete amazement the boar was swimming backwards. I looked down at the water around me. It was rapidly moving past me and towards the boar. A horrible thought was forming in the back of my mind and a sudden deluge of water confirmed my suspicions. It was I who was moving—on the back of a whale! After a four-day ride on the Kick of my congenial host, I sighted land. Bidding good-bye to the whale, I leaped off his back. When I finally reached shore, 1 inquired as to what land I was in. I found to my great joy that I was in England. I also found that I was yet in time for the trial, and I hurried to the home of my friend. Alas! To my dismay I found I was indeed too late. When I reached his home I was told that only yesterday my friend had confessed to stealing the altar from Westminster Abbey. Well, boys and girls, such are the turns of fortune. Perhaps tomorrow I shall tell you of one of my stranger and more exciting adventures. Until then, goodnight!

Elizabeth Light, VI Crete hen Wigner, III Cl)r Dtl)fr ssMbe Malcolm was inspecting ruined Forres Castle, accompanied by his trusted lieutenant, Macduff. Malcom said, “I remember how I used to come here with my father when he came to visit that one who so vilely violated his duties as a host. Macbeth. How he was deceived by the blackguard’s false smiles and friendly air! Yea, everyone believed Macbeth to be a loyal soldier under your father Duncan. Even I was taken in by his chicanery. Why, I was once one of his very dear friends! “And to you he did the blackest deed of all. taking away your loved ones and all you held dear, and leaving you with nothing to live for. It it please you, my liege, let us not speak of it more. The sorrow of that hour is as fresh upon me as it had happened yesterday. “As you wish, good 'Duff.' “Even so, my king, I have your services which you so generously entrust to me to perform; and that is enough to live for. to serve one’s king. Nobly stated, as a staunch soldier. Come, let us continue our perusal of this once haughty castle and see if by chance it is still habitable. Since you arc now thane of Glamis as well as Fife, you should hold both grounds under your rule. “Many thanks, my lord.” “That is, if it can be rebuilt to house so worthy a thane as yourself. It would not do for such as you to Ik monarch over a motley heap of ruins. “Even so. my lord. I believe it can Ik done. Let us examine further the degree to which the ages have disintegrated the stronghold. So Malcolm ami Macduff separated, the more quickly to inspect the extent of the damage. Macduff was left alone to ruminate as he passed from room to room. “Ha, Macbeth! Such is your end. You have lost all: your wife, the love of your friends, the fear of your enemies, your life, although it cannot be said that you valued that commodity at a very high rate, as you destroyed it whenever it came within your means. It is strange; as a soldier, to take the life of an enemy, one who opposes your wishes or stands in the way of your desires, is accounted a grand thing, hailed as great bravery, crowned with platitudes and rejoiced over with feasting and merrymaking. But to do the same in peacetime, to one who offers the same impediments, is construed as murder, and dire arc the consequences. At the time when I killed Macbeth, I was mad with grief, and as an avenged father and husband, was greeted by the name of hero, anil savior. As I look back upon it, if opportunities had presented themselves. I, too, might now Ik known by the name of ’blackguard,’ ‘king’s murderer,' and divers other epithets. While the thought of the needless slaughter of my wife and babes even now conjures up bloody visions, these apparitions have no faces and arc losing their power to move me as of old. Macbeth, Macbeth! Perhaps your genius was diverted into wrong channels. Perhaps if the fates hail smiled a little more brightly, your star, instead of Malcolm’s, would now shine. Here as nowhere else your presence seems to pace up and down, ever questioning. I like it not; such treasonous thoughts as arc introduced by your spirit, the warped ambitions of your lady, may enter my soul also and disaster follow. This place is evil, I feel. If Malcolm desires to reward my services by the presentation of what he doubtless considers a great reward for me, the once impregnable stronghold of my enemy, why, he may, for I wish not to anger him. But I fear I shall come here not often, but reside in comfortable Fife, where a cheery fire and many friends will dispel these gloomy ghosts. What ho, Malcolm! What have you found?

She does not even smile, hut why should she? She docs not know the people. In her first scene she is characterized rather as a quiet old soul” not at all revealing how full of vitality she really is. As the book goes on we see her character changing, hut hardly enough to show. Even after, say, the first six chapters of Book Two, you do not think you know enough about her to write a character sketch such as I am writing, hut slowly as you read on, the ways and manners of our holy Madame” reveal that she is not the quiet old soul” we knew before, hut an avenging beast. Her hatred toward the aristocratic class in France seems to grow in every breath she takes. All the time she is knitting, knitting, knitting furiously. What can she lie doing? Always knitting, knitting, knitting all those different colours—but soft! Perhaps it is a code! Well, we must not think of such an impossible thing, fust let her be to keep on knitting, knitting, knitting. Now we see her when the mob is ready to go to the Bastille. No. she is certainly not the “quiet old soul” of before. I ook! She is running, wildly shouting, screaming sharp, short orders to her Ixtnd of Saintc Antoine women. Now l x k. She is brandishing her dagger. Ah! They arc oil. She is always in the hearts of these poor beggars. She is something, perhaps spiritual; anyway, she is something they have looked up to for strength these last ghastly years. She has no heart. She wants nothing but artistocratic blood”. There now, they arc all weary after the breaking up of the Bastille, all, should I say, except Madame Defarge, for she will never Ik weary till all her work on earth is done and she must pass to the next. Now as defeat after defeat of the aristocrats comes about. Madame Defarge is less and less like the quiet old soul and more and more like the hungry beast. Yes. all aristocrats arc imprisoned. Yes, all aristocrats go in the tumbrils to the sharp female”. La Saintc (iuillotinc. Yes, Madame is oh so busy knitting, knitting. Now Evremonde is in prison. Why, what is this? Can Madame believe her cars and eyes? The people and jury arc on her worst enemy’s side. What, I say again, what! Madame can hardly suppress her agitation. The jurors have voted to free Charles. Oh what can that mean? Ah, better again, Charles is recaptured. Now that’s better. Everyone is on her side. Evremonde must die. Yes, now she will reveal that she is the younger sister of the one who received such treatment from the Marquis of Evremonde. Now we understand why our Madame is such a beast of prey. Oh terrible! She is killed. Well, perhaps just as well. But on that point no one will Ik sure, for our lovely beast of prey never lived or died except in the Tale of Two Cities.

Though it is now some fifty years since the old mansion was built, it shows no signs of age. For that matter neither docs the mistress of that noble residence even though she has outlived the house by several years. Mrs. Richpockcts, of course, tells people she heard her father say that when he was a young man courting her mother, he remembered the day the first tenants moved into the newest house in town. But as the author is always permitted to see into the minds and past experiences of the characters, I can truly say that Mrs. Richpockcts herself remembered when that house was first inhabited. But why talk about the house? A house is not a vain thing and w'c arc here to tell you about the vanity of this world. Mrs. Richpockcts is of medium height and more than medium weight. Her hair is a lustrous brown, though underneath the polish, one could easily imagine the silver hairs. Her teeth are her pride and joy. and she uses any chance she gets to show them, either to smile at the richest dignitaries at the richest parties, or else to show her dearest darling husband that she still thinks of him occasionally. She has to think of him occasionally because, after all, he docs give her part of the money it is absolutely necessary to have. Of course. Mrs. Richpockcts just can’t sec where it all goes, but it is easy to suspect that her wardrobe of imported French gowns, the carriage that once U-longcd to the Most Honorable Duke of Mild-bury, her four Tripoltanian dogs (imported from India), and many other knicknacks of this sort help to spend even Mr. Richpockcts’ fabulous salary. In fact, this kind and good gentleman is still paying bills and notes from past years, anil will never again Ik out of debt. When Mrs. Richpockcts isn’t purchasing a new wardrolK, she is talking. Not that she knows any thing worthy to talk about (for alas, who docs?) hut rather that she invents something worthy of her eloquence. For, though she has 78 not seen her dearest, dearest Mrs. Mudd for three months, she simply must tell her darling Mrs. Ruggfacc alxiut the maid the Mudds got six weeks ago. It is also necessary that she tell the new rector's wife, Mrs. Popcly, that her second cousin married an archdeacon, though we know he later gave up the Church and became a blacksmith. Mrs. Richpocket's children, Isabella and Victorina, arc the absolute perfection of children. They stood at the head of their class. They are now hounded by all the young dandies in town and at the same time are admired by all members of the weaker sex. Most of Mrs. Richpockets’ friends have long given up the idea of lauding their own darlings, for they know that Isabella and Victorina have outdone them in every way. So our charming Mrs. Richpockets continues in the fair of Vanity, where, I am sure, she will win a prize for her secret ability to stay young, if she does not win one in the marathon of speech. Margaret Hillhouse, XII Cl)t iHirror Loucllcn was an ordinary girl. Hut she wouldn't let it go at that. She was determined to be extra ordinary. Never satisfied with living life as it was, she was always wishing it were more romantic. Not just dully ordinary movie dates for her, with maybe a quick kiss on the doorstep. Oh no! These lowly pleasures were not for Loucllcn. (living only secondary notice to these everyday episodes, she dreamed constantly about being dramatically rescued from a desperate peril by some dashing stranger, ami the adventure would go on from there. Or fxrrhaps out west she would play her own hcrioc part in a daring exploit and meet a handsome cowboy or other fascinating creature. In the face of these romantic figments of her imaginative future, David, John, or Hurt from down the street would seem terribly commonplace. When she was with them, she would dream constantly of those heroes of her fancy. Many marvelous plans were made to further these dreams, hut she never had the time to carry them out. However, her work and play at school anil home were merely marking time until she could be off to make her certainly large and prominent mark in the world. At times, though, she became despondent, thinking of all the troubles in life, its struggles, its hardships, the inevitability of its end. It was in one of these black moods that she decided to kill herself. Not immediately, however. First she would amass a considerable sum, say about $1,000,-000, with which to repay her parents for all the things they had done for her. This would take until she had graduated from high school, and it was then that she would do the deed ending all of life’s uncertainties. For you see, Ixtucllcn had no life line on her left hand anil every astrology book she had ever read condemned her to an untimely end. Even her Wishing Well was unfavorable day after day. Many happy hours were spent in contemplating the ways and means of this great climax, and, by the time she had finished conjuring up scenes of tearful remorse by a world stripped of a prime plum, she would be restored to optimism with the fateful step put off in her mind until some indefinite time in the distant future. In the meantime, I oucllcn had discovered other interesting things to while away the lime, being possessed of a natural liking for reading and an aptitude for remembering several small details from it, which, when stated with an air of solemnity, gave the appearance of great knowledge, she gained a reputation as one intellectually superior. This adulation, haseless as it was, increased her own not-unfavorable thoughts u|x n herself. She came to regard herself as one of the elite; a selected one who would surely have those romantic adventures one heard alxiut. Certainly the fates could not overlook this paragon of beauty (for she thought highly of herself in that respect also, and often pictured herself grandly refusing movie and modeling contracts), virtue and general all-around superbness. All her life she persisted in these grand thoughts and the great preparation for either her spectacular demise or her phenomenal life. One day I oucllcn fell down an open manhole and was never heard from again. Courtenay Van Fossen, XI Cfje ftuler I sometimes think, life being much too short, A twelve inch ruler laid against man's schemes. Not covering half a page, is quick to thwart Ambition to achieve one’s highest dreams. I, looking thus, began to see it’s wrong To hide oneself in books, some Cod to find; Life docs not stop, and when my love is gone, All I’ll have left is a developed mind And all the customs that our class impose. So joy must for convention’s sake be lost, As ladies” so correct in “ladies’ clothes , Will never know how much their virtues cost. For, when we reach the ruler’s end, we die; So why not live before we say Good-bye ?
