Her aid in helping us to face our problems fairly and squarely, her continued encouragement when we felt we had failed, and her deep personal interest in each one of us has been of incomparable value. Her chuckle, which can Ik heard in the halls at any time of day, will never Ik- forgotten. We give our thanks for her continuing devotion to Northrop. Clizabetk C. Ptyan Director of Lower School Our new Director of the Lower School has won congratulations from us all. Her gracious charm and quiet determination arc going to lie of real worth in the years to come. A number of projects anil plans arc under way. A May festival, plans for new equipment for the Lower School playground, and a series of curriculum studies head the list. ScienceA Dorothy Ellinwood Marjorie B.

When all else fails in setting up the public address system, locating the Victrola, getting a key for the Taller room, the usual solution is (Jo ask Mullen. In the midst of the day’s rush we so often forget to thank Mullen for all his services, that we want to take this opportunity to express our appreciation for all that he docs for us. A hearty thank you, Mullen. dedicated to ZJ ie King and Queen o Meatt Edith K. Raasch A smile that brings a returning grin, a warmth that seems to spread, and a dedication to the happiness of others, all belong to Edith. Throughout her long service to Northrop she has endeared herself to everyone. It isn’t just that third helping of cheese sauce that she manages to find for us at lunch, or her aid in preparing for dances; it’s the fact that it all comes from the bottom of her heart. For this devotion we wish to express our appreciation, but wc can give but a small token of gratitude. BOARD OF TRUSTEES Mr. Charles 'I'. Silverson. President Mr. Sewall 1).

After class discussion and reading about community helpers, they took field trips to Witt’s Market to watch the butcher wield his knife; journeyed to the Fire Department to hear the clanging of the fire alarm as the great red trucks pulled out of the station; and walked to Loring Park to watch the majestic swans. However, they’ve had a lot of fun right in school, too. Those in the Kindergarten had both a Christmas and May Day party for their parents. J he first graders now look upon reading as a favorite pastime. Together, the two classes celebrated Halloween. 3itit Qlade Left to right Kay Carney Anne Wakefield Elizabeth Rogers Nancy Pugh Jan Sorensen Joy Toft ness Sign'd Nye Constance Baring-Gould Loony Bagley Carol Onan Margot Kate Susan Kanner Grace Marie Clifford Absent Louise Hacking Margaret Onan Marianna Barat Fikst Row: Betsy Clapp, Sally Wilkie, Penny Chisholm.

Second, Zdiird and fourth Qtade Apple jelly, cinnamon rolls, vegetable soup and pasteurized milk have all passed the taste test given by the second grade this year in conjunction with their survey of foods. Studying about groceries and dairy products, they inspected Witt’s Market and the Northland Creamery to obtain information. Then, as portrayed in their class picture, they practiced buying and selling right in their classroom so that they would be worldly wise when purchasing that box of sugar for mother’s cake batter. Foot!, however, has not been all that’s been digested by the second grade; much to Northrop’s pride they absorbed their reader in record time! Besides reading, 'riling and Tithmctic, the third grade has been participating in all-school activities. The artists of the class had their interpretations of music displayed in Northrop Auditorium for the Dorati Exhibition, and two other members of the class made their debuts in the Christmas Play and Sense and Sensibility.” Also, they have become regular skaters; eyes, and not ankles turn when they glide on the ice. But all of the third graders will agree that the climax of the year came when they attended the Father-Daughter Banquet for the first lime. Time has flown as the fourth grade sped through the school year on a tour of the country. Under Miss McCoy’s resourceful direction, the girls took a trip with an American family during their Social Studies period. They started in lx s Angeles and eventually arrived in Washington. D. C., going by way of many fascinating places. Also, through the aid of Lincoln logs and colored sawdust, a complete setting of their reader came to life in the classroom, making those unfamiliar words live in the form of a story. Miss Indihar has taught them to play symphonettes, and everyone was proud of them when they played at the 1-ower School Christmas Program and the Father-Daughter Banquet.

Hypnotized by the sensationalism of current events, they soon had reams of material for their bulletin hoard. Then they learned to knit and were suddenly whipping up bed socks for the Red Cross. How they found time to sing in the choir, act in the Lower School Operetta and present two choral selections for chapel is a mystery. As if this were not enough, they found the spunk to defeat the sixes” in kick-ball, 10 to 7! Surely this group will excel next year as seniors of the Lower School. Such energy!

Sixth Qrade Shouldering new responsibility as seniors of the Lower School, the sixth grade has more than proved its ability and originality. Many a person was cheered on Washington’s Birthday by his colorful tray mats or pipe cleaners which the girls had made for the Red Cross. A large Afghan is now covering some convalescent veteran, also, because of their handiwork. The Twcener Times, the Lower School magazine, was never more packed with news and color than it was when the sixth grade supervised its publication. But these arc only a few of the memories they'll leave at Northrop. The quick click of busy knitting needles, the scratch of pencil on paper, the giggling after whispered secrets and the self-assured footsteps are the marks of the sixth graders. wm CLASS POLL BEST ALL-AROUND Kale Penney MOST DRAG WITH FACULTY Fayfa Wilson BEST ALIBIS Lucy Dodge MOST IN LOVE Grctchen Boehrer FIRST MARRIED Sheila Connolly CLASS CLOWN Lassie louder BEST SPORT Lyn Neshilt MOST GULLIBLE Fayfa Wilson MOST CASUALTIES Anne Olson BIGGEST BOOKWORM Sandy Watson At the beginning of the year, if you noticed a girl running madly past you in the halls, you knew that it was a seventh grader —late for her next class. Throughout the year, however, this class has become famous for its splendid adjustment to the quick pace of life in the Upper School. Under the leadership of Grctchen Boehrer and Lissie Lauder, the girls collected games and stuffed animals for orphanage Christmas presents. On Washington’s birthday they invited sixteen of their friends to an Open House at Northrop. With six new class members, and the fine direction of Miss Ell in wood, the seventh grade has established an excellent reputation. Seventh Qxade Front Row: Bliss Wilkie, Sheila Connolly.

Ciglith Qtade The eighth grade has been busier than ever this year. We’ve started many new customs which we hope will become traditions at Northrop. When vve decorated the Christmas tree, we started a permanent collection of ornaments. We hope other eighth grades will increase it. Also, we arc planning the first dance to lx: given by any eighth grade at Northrop. Of course, we can’t neglect to tell about “Alky, our class mascot whom we bought at the dog show for the benefit of the Red Cross. He is a mixture of a blue and white breed, and was formally christened “Alcatraz Puddles VIN during a solemn ceremony which was run by the class officers, Jane Ix wry and Margie Vennum. Our home room has been the scene of many projects. We hung hearts on painted branches and decorated pots for the tables on Valentine's Day. Then, there was the time that we changed our desks to face a different direction: but since this did not meet with the approval of everyone involved, we reluctantly turned them back. All in all, it’s been a fun and entertaining year, and we have immensely enjoyed being supervised by Miss Nottbohm.

With Anne Gillette as President and Barby Rice as Vice-President they accomplished all sorts of triumphs. Susie Hiatt received the highest score on the Time Test for the entire school (She must read more than “Dick Tracy! ). The hustlers also won the Taller Ad Contest, thereby getting a vacation on Washington’s birthday when the rest of us came unwillingly to school. At Christmas time with the help of Miss Blodgett they sponsored a party at the Unity Settlement House. They gave the children individual presents, and the entire school a Victrola and records. With such laurels to their credit, it’s obvious that the freshmen have earned the right to move to the Senior Study Hall next year. With noticeable energy and enthusiasm, the sophomores began the year in their new home room, the Senior Study Hall. Hie change brought with it a lot of hard concentration in order that the class continue its line record for good grades. Ruth Bennett and Mary Amesbury tried hard throughout the year to keep the class in good standing with Miss Pease, too. The class wowed the school and themselves by bringing in a net profit of $240 at the Christmas Bazaar. They sold Bowers, magazine subscriptions, and products from the Victor Blind Company. Eliza Moocrs received a quaint red parasol as a prize for selling the most subscriptions. Under the leadership of the class team captains, Bryce I.oudon and Mary Fullerton, the sophomores won the hockey championship in the senior high. As the year nears its end, the sophomores want to thank Miss Gray and all of their teachers for helping them to have a profitable and enjoyable year.

The only girl we know who doesn't have to worry about her figure; frequent trips to Chicago have provided her with a built-in girdle which comes in handy as a bridge table or footstool when the occasion arises. But this doesn’t prevent Ginny from playing an active part in school life. Her quite candid camera takes in almost all school activities, with sometimes surprising results. Along with this service to The Tatlcr, ‘Tinny lends strong support to the Glee Club. Ginny’s good humor and her willingness to drive home sickly Seniors in the middle of the day will make her name one of those which we remember with pleasure.

(Clara Barton would smile if she could see her disciple extracting donations, from the notoriously penniless senior class.)

She has also spent many an activity period puzzling over the financial affairs of The Tatler. I can still see her now, demanding that the seniors go out to get more ads. If you don’t eat Malt-O-Meal, regularly, it’s a mistake to tell Campbell. Small gift-sized cartons of that cereal arc her specialty.

While presenting the appearance of a scatterbrain, she effectively directs the intricate machinery of the business end of The Tatlcr. She was an appropriate choice for the French chapel leader, not only because of her linguistic ability, but also because of her familiarity with old Bible stories.

MacPhail’s adult-type scrawl is carried North, South, East and West in numerous epistles to her equally numerous gentlemen friends. With this background Mary is sure to be a success.

And what a motley group these puzzles are! At every meeting reports arc made by each of the Vice-Presidents on their committees, Miss Pease suggests a debate on a certain school problem, and class presidents or representatives ask advice on individual class difficulties. At Northrop the league’s widespread influence in the school has made our Council truly representative of the student Ixxly and, the central core of our school government.

Then don’t hide when a member of the School Procedure Committee walks by. Oh! So it was talking in chapel lines? These are just a few of the numberless regulations the School Procedure Committee enforces throughout Northrop’s Upper School, grades seven through twelve. We seldom think to thank them for their excellent work, but all of us know that if it weren’t for these stalwarts Northrop would Ik pretty chaotic. They take charge of tardy halls and clean-up jobs. The regulation of the senior study hall is also in their jurisdiction, for it is under complete student supervision. Sometimes it takes a mass meeting to establish complete control, but with the executive ability of Joyce Howard this very important branch of our student government has done an extremely clVtcicnt and effective job this year.

Pat Good-man’s Irish Setter vanquished all opposition with a wag of its well-groomed tail, and exited trimphantly with the cup for best-in-show. Although only a few dogs were able to cop blue ribbons, all the handlers and spectators fed heartily on cokes and doughnuts. Another project of this energetic committee was the buttonholing of passing students in the hall with an earnest chat on the need for buying Christmas or Raster Seals. Because of this go-getting spirit, hundreds were sold. Innumerable boxes for CARL were also filled under the sponsorship of this group. With Maggie McCarthy as chairman of this committee, a busy tempo has been sustained throughout the season. But let us not forget that the Senior Public Relations Committee has not been idle! Service is their creed. In October the OKI Girls’ Party for the New was organized and each class gave a skit, a parody on some radio program. A whodunit with a Grecian-robed creature bent on the murder of a Blake boy, a quiz show and zany commercials for ‘TP were two of the presentations. A bazaar for the benefit of the Community Chest was also given just after Thanksgiving; everything from Christmas ornaments to television sets were sold. Besides this, food was collected for the Phyllis Wheatley House, and money for the American Red Cross and other worthy causes. It is with well founded pride that Mary Beard, in charge of Public Relations at Northrop, can say that the tally of our various contributions this year exceeds that of any other.

Dresses swish by, punch glasses clink, and tuxedos roam the downstairs hall. The first dance of the year was sponsored by the Publications Committee in order to raise more funds for The Tatlcr. A second was given by the ninth grade in February; but as usual the biggest and the lx st was the League Dance, put on by the industrious Entertainment Committee who bedecked the auditorium with streamers and hearts in honor of St. Valentine. The Entertainment Committee, however, had many functions for which to prepare. For instance, the annual Christmas Party at which the entire school, grouped around a lighted Christmas tree after a dinner of turkey and cranberry sauce, sang carols. The planning for the various school assemblies fell to this committee also. Their organization and seating charts were a definite thorn in the side of Tracy Guthrie, the group’s chairman, but we all know that despite many obstacles her able administration can be thanked for the smoothness with which they were finally carried out.

Here too, expectant seventh graders have been welcomed into the upper school and white-robed seniors have been graduated.

Now the man was very poor and had scarcely enough to keep himself alive, much less feed a snake. And he said as much. But the snake begged anti begged and looked so pitiful that at last the man relented and asked the snake what he could give him in return. I have nothing in all this world but my skin. saitl the snake. “But I would gladly give that to you if I could. I change skins only once a year. However it will soon be time to change it again, and if you will come to my hole in a month or two, I will give it to you. “Well, thought the man, that seems fair enough. So the snake told the man where he lived, and the man gave him food anil shelter. In a month’s time the man came to the snake’s hole anil asked for the skin. Now the snake had changed his skin. But he kept a collection of his skins; and although he knew that he must give the man a skin sometime, he thought this one much too pretty to give. So fearing the man’s wrath, and pretending to lie greatly grieved, he said, My friend, I am sorry, but when I took oil my skin, it fell into a mud puddle and the mud wouldn’t come off. It is ruined and I would be ashamed to give it to you. But wait until next time I change skins. Come back and 1 shall give you that one. So the man went away and at the given time he returned and asked again for the skin. But still the snake thought that it was much too beautiful a skin to give to the man, and so he said, pretending to be greatly frightened, My friend, I changed skins yesterday anil as I was climbing out of my old one, a fox came up and ran off with it. By this time the man was getting annoyed and he asked, “Arc you sure that you will give it to me the next time? And the snake answered, “Indeed, yes. This happened two more times. On the fifth time, the man came stamping up with a knife in his hand and yelled, “Give me my skin. But still the snake could not part with his skin. You ungrateful wretch. cried the man as he chopped the snake's head off. I will tear your house apart. And in so doing, he found all the skins and sold them and became a rich man.

Dill you ever shiver under her light; So icy cold, and still? Ah—many’s the time I’ve sat and gazed. As the shadowy clouds raced by! Ah—many’s the time I’ve been amazed At the drama in the sky. The Sun is king, but the Moon’s his queen; A marriage of ice and fire . . . The Sun is king, but he dies at night On a flaming funeral pyre. His icy queen sweeps to the throne, And quiets earth to rest; She freezes up the heat of toil With cool breaths from her breast. That’s when you should look up there; When the shadowy clouds race by! Then you’ll know who holds the power; It’s the Icy Queen in the sky. Helen Dc Haven, Grade XI Honorable Mention, Poetry, Group III DISILLUSION “Oh. what a lucky dog I am!” I thought contentedly as I stettlcd down in the back scat of the car for the long ride into the country to hunt on that October morning. Probably the happiest day in the year for a black Labrador is the opening of the hunting season. I watched the trees rush by the car window and far beyond them I saw the rolling hills, dotted here ami there with cows out to pasture. Now and then we passed a farm house surrounded by sheds and a large barn. Then there were fields with their ripe cornstalks bent and brown in the October sun. These were the homes anti hiding places of the beautiful pheasants which I loved to follow in hot pursuit up the long corn rows, until they would rise in a graceful arch over the maize. Then I would hear a sharp crack anti tlown would fall the beautiful bird. Brilliantly I would dash over and carry it to a grateful master who would give me a welcome pat of approval and say, Good Dog! How I longctl to spring from my day dream in the car into the reality of this adventurous sport. f felt a jolt as my master jammed on the brakes. “Spike! he called. I Ixnintlctl out and, to my surprise, fount! myself in a farm yard surrounded by a flock of noisy hens anti roosters. Did I dash after some poor little hen? No indeed, I had long ago learned that chasing chickens was puppy’s play. Just then a streak of black crossed by path racing wildly after a chicken. To my disgust, I discovered it to be another black Labrador that a friend of my master’s had brought with him in another car. His master called him angrily and he slunk over to receive a well-deserved swat across the muzzle. Then he was placed on a leash. “Got d! I sniifed. “He won’t be able to get into any more mischief there.” Then we started oft for a distant field. I streaked ahead. I was eager to begin the marvelous game of hide-and-go-seek with some unfortunate pheasant. Never once did I glance behind because I was sure my master was following me with his friends and their dogs. Once I thought I heard a dim but angry shout. I pretended not to hear. Why should I pay any attention to it? Wasn’t this my cornfield? Already 1 had a scent and was tracking it back and forth across the field, and then I saw it! A pheasant ran along under the cover of weeds, hoping to escape me, I suppose. I leaped onto it and it rose high above the maize. I listened for a shot and when it didn't come, I paused to wonder, hut the lure of hunting called me hack and I continued on my merry search. I raised two or three more birds, but still I heard no shots. Then suddenly a blast of a whistle nearly knocked me off my feet. I had never heard a sound quite like it before. It came again and again, and so I figured that someone might be trying to call me. I paused, turned around, and followed my trail back to my master and his friends. Sternly he called me over to him, grabbed me by the ruff of the neck, and removed his belt from around his waist. I drew back, for the look in his eyes and the way he had grabbed me by the neck made me sure he was going to whip me, though he rarely had before. Instead he proceeded to pul the belt around my neck, while he spoke quietly. Spike, you mustn't run so far ahead and scare up all the pheasants before we reach the cornfield. !X you understand?” That dog is bound to ruin all the good cornfields, as far as hunting goes, if he gets away again, said one of my master’s friends to another angrily. I fell Lick confused, for I had thought I was just doing my duty. The rest of the day I was confined to the belt-leash and was only allowed off it when a pheasant had been winged and was trying to escape through the brush. At dusk the people came hack to the cars and shot at tin cans on a fence by the roadside.

Peggy Pearson, Grade VIII Honorable Mention, Prose, Group II REFLECTIONS ON NAIVETE When I was young I said, “Life is . . . ,” and I defined it, According to my mood. The wisdom of my words Pervaded me, anti I arose To metaphysical obscurities. How interesting, youth. To one of my extensive And compound experience. Patricia Goodman, Grade XII First Prize, Poetry, Group III THE MIRACLE The bars of sunlight lay in odd juxtaposition with the painted lines on the floor as Kmily walked slowly across the gynasium. She was late for class, but the shouts and calls from the locker room did not hasten her steps. Gym was a burden, a chore to l c got over as quickly as possible with as little effort on her part as she could manage. Miss Peacock was a healthy old fuss-budget who was always telling her to, “Stand up straight, Kmily, you don’t want to grow up to be round-shouldered and unattractive, do you?” Although she made a gesture of submission in slightly altering the position of her shoulder blades, she actually paid no heed to the instructor’s words. What did a gym teacher know about life, particularly about the life of Kmily Thatcher? How could she possibly know anything about the swirling, elusive future whose picture in Emily's mind cast aside such petty details as good posture in favor of more expansive and vivid dreams of wildly acclaimed and modestly accepted success? Her parents, too, seemed somehow unaware of her great talents and gifts which she tried, unassumingly and therefore unsuccessfully, to thrust upon them. Susan and Mary-Kay were definitely patronizing in their attitude toward their sister, continually disparaging her habits, manners and lack of ambition. The fact that most of this criticism was founded on truth made it the more painful. The realization of inadequacy was hurriedly submerged to make room for the more delightful visions of a sudden, blazing triumph, to lie the more startling having sprung from such apparently barren ground. Her eager desire for acclaim, for encouraging compliments, dragging them out by ill-concealed angling, would suddenly die when they came, leaving her embarrassed and ashamed. A little sick, she would wonder why it was that apparently confident people suddenly needed the artificial words of comparative strangers to bolster their fears of having done right or wrong, or of living by the accepted standards of civilization instead of lieing their own best judges. This tendency to outwardly deny what she inwardly craved puzzled her, but she could not control it. She would use cold logic, turning a probing searchlight on herself, peering into every nook and cranny, hut she was unable to discover the cause of her distress. Always when she went anywhere or met anyone she worried in a panic, Will I do something wrong? What can I possibly say that won’t lie stupid or gauche5 What will they think of me? letter, as she raged inwardly at her cowardice, she demanded of the Almighty why it must be so. She received no answer to her frenzied cries, no peace, no Alexander to rid her, by a swift decisive gesture, of the Gordian knot of her dilemma. For Kmily the years passed slowly; each day. each hour, each moment, fraught with imminent disaster in the form of a decision, a judgment, a forward act. How did the others manage it? She did not pretend to understand the ways of adults; and children baffled and confused her with their easy ability to express themselves. Still there was her own generation; the members of her class moved about her even now as she entered the noisy locker room. Their bright, intelligent faces filled her with envy. She knew they were not stupid; in class they constantly amazed her with their paradoxical knowledge of subjects she hail not supposed they knew or understood, besides the tremendous and inexplicable information they seemed to have about how to live. How did they do it? What was the secret? She could never dare to ask them; there would be no answer, in any ease. Either they would look at her uncom-prchendingly, as if she had asked directions in a foreign language, or else the others, who understood, would avert their eyes or turn their heads to avoid revealing the unutterable pity they felt for one who must ask. Several of the girls glanced up as she came in. One of them gave her a smile. “You'd better hurry up Em, Bryn Mawr’s pride is going to show us a new play today and you know how mad she gets if the stands aren’t filled to watch her perform.” “I'll answer your name at roll call. Thatch. If you speed it up, you can just make it in time for the main event. Light laughter, laughter that floated like translucent hubbies above her head, tumbled out onto the floor into the gym. Left alone, she began slowly to change her clothes. The girls were swell, really. There was no reason to Ik afraid of them, no reason for this nagging doubt of her own ability to keep pace with them. She got the best marks of them all in mathematics; the history teacher said she had a nice feeling for the subject and was pleased by her interest. But there were so many other things inside her, happy things, funereal depths, capacities for pleasure and friendship that had never been reached. She knew it. Hopelessly she yanked on her tennis shoe, listlessly she tied the lace. Why wasn’t there someone who could help her see “the kick of her eyes, someone who would combine all of the wonderful joys she knew she possessed, bind the ends together, make her whole, mend the woeful rents in her? A lagging walk to the door, reluctant fingers on the handle. Certainly she could not do it herself. Courtenay Van Fossen, Grade XII First Prize, Prose, Group III MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR! Christmas Day was almost over and Bobby was sitting on the steps reading one of his new books. Me couldn’t keep his mind on it, although it was a mystery. He thought only of why his mother and father wouldn’t let him have a dog. Just then he heard a faint scratching at the door. He got up and went to see what there was at the door. And there, was a little black cocker spaniel. Bob walked kick into the house, expecting the pup to follow him hut he didn't. Bob looked closely at the shivering dog. It was wounded. “Poor little fellow,” said Boh, as he lifted the little animal up in his arms. I’ll take care of you ’till you’re well, no matter what Mom and Dad say!” Just then his mother came in. “My heavens! Bob, where did you get him? And what is that thing on his paw? “It’s just the snow in the cut he has. Mom. I Ic scratched on the door, so I let him in. May 1 keep him? “No, you may not keep him!” retorted his mother. “Then may I keep him ’till he gets well? asked Bob. “Well, I guess so. Bob, but remember you must let him go as soon as he is well.” Bob was overjoyed to hear those words. He rushed the little puppy to the bathroom and treated the wound with care and medicine. Bob did not know it, but his mother and father stood in the doorway and watched. When Bob was almost finished his mother said, “Bob, I see that you can really take care of a dog, so I think you may keep him!” Boh was so happy he didn't know what to say. Days wore on with Boh and the puppy until it was New Year's Eve. At supper Bob said, I think my little dog should Ik named now. Don’t you. Mom?” Mom didn’t answer, but a smile crept over her face, and she winked at Dad. Then Dad brought out from under the table a a female black cocker pup. “Since you take such good care of that dog, I will give you another to accompany the mate! Again Boh was so happy he didn’t know what to say. I think I will name the male ‘Merry Christmas,’ and the female 'Happy New Year’! Oh, thank you so much. Mom ami Dad, this is the most wonderful Christmas ami New Year's Eve I ever had!” Tonina Dorati, Grade VI Honorable Mention. Prose, Group I THE GOOD COMPANIONS I had expected to enjoy reading The Good Companions, by J. B. Priestly. It is written in a simple but effective style which catches and holds the interest. I-aid in England some time after the first World War, it mainly describes the adventures of three people: Mr. Oakroyd, a typical Yorkshirc-man between forty-five and fifty, a mill worker, stocky and blue-eyed, a great enthusiast of the Bruddersford United Association Football Club, yet with a hint here and there that he was a little different from his neighbors, for his cloth cap was not the usual grey or green but rather a dirty brown; Miss Trant, a spinster lady of about thirty-seven, with a secret passion for historical romances, who had devoted her last fifteen years to the genteel care of her aging father at the manor house of Hitherto-on-thc-Wolc; and Inigo Jollifant, a schoolmaster at twenty-six in the Washbury Manor School, but net at all the schoolmaster type. The three had left their respective ruts for various reasons on the same Monday; and, meeting by the inevitable coincidence, joined a bankrupt and stranded concert part (a sort of small vaudeville show). Any description of the plot of The Good Companions needs must be hopelessly inadequate simply for want of space. The book itself is six hundred and forty pages long. In spite of the length (I have always been a little wary of immensely thick books ever since I plodded through Dickens and Thackeray because 1 knew I should), the story never drags, in fact docs not seem long at all. The characterizations are well done in that they seemed alive while I was reading about them, but not when I thought about them afterwards; removed from their own surroundings, they have an element of unreality about them. The plot of The Good Companions winds into a hall. All the “good people cither immediately get what they want most or are assured of it in the near future, and the few “had people arc punished. To complete this wound-up feeling, the last sentence of the book is almost the same as the first. If you like that kind of a book, with plot for plot’s sake, and all stray ends tucked in neatly, then you would like The Good Companions very much. It is a very peacetime story, and somehow, to me, it makes happiness seem too easy. But I think the fault lies not so much in The Good Companions itself, as it lies in the background of war news against which the book was read. Patricia Goodman, Grade XII Honorable Mention, Prose, Group III Above: The World Affairs Executive Committee plans the next program: I.cora Kavli, Helen Case, Gretcheu Boos, Courtenay Vail Fosscn, Kathleen Kennedy, Pat Goodman, Joyce Howard. “IVhat Li a caucaA-race? iaid cdlice The World Affairs Club has had a thought-provoking program this year under the leadership of Courtenay Van Fosscn, president, and Miss Cray, inimitable faculty sponsor. Judge Knudson spoke to us frankly about the Youth Conservation program in Minnesota and its important success in the prevention of “repeaters” in crime from our age group. Mrs. C. E. Howard, the Republican State Chairwoman, spoke to us, also. Her explanation of the workings of a political party was entirely new to all of us and, therefore, doubly fascinating. Besides these speakers, we conducted our own informal debates on current problems, such as the war in Korea. Through this stimulating exchange of thoughts we members of the World Affairs Club find ourselves much better informed than we were last fall. Left, Top: Judge Knutson. Left, Bottom: Mrs. C. E.

Northropites Ixrgan this fall “creeping like snails unwilling to the hockey field, hut soon, breathing in the brisk, fall air, commenced to battle for goal after goal with sticks and tennis shoes flashing. Unfortunately,however, the sophomores were the only class unscathed and victorious in their clash with Summit School. The reason they have won the class hockey tournament for the past two years is obvious. The Varsity game was the climax of the season: the Whites under their captain, Joan McCaull, trumjicil Margot White’s Blues 2 to 1. Then when the snow began to fly, a row of shapely legs and bobby sox dangled over the balcony railing of the gymnasium and the cry turned from goals to baskets. Stunning the enemy with their new red shorts, the seniors easily won the class championship and the Whites again defeated the Blues in the Varsity game, this time in basketball. However, all was not quiet out of doors. There, blades were carving neat figures on the ice. Next, spring came—that is, for everyone except the Minnesotans. The girls turned to exercises and tumbling, practicing for a summer of tennis, softball and sailing. Aiding and advising the Physical Education IXpartmcnt in these activities arc the Athletic Committees, functioning to bring the students’ views to action. For instance, at their suggestion a new point system for individual athletic awards has been established this year hased on the actual grades and class participation of each student, rather than on bonus accomplishments. Also, a new white sweatshirt with a blue emblem has been added to the gym uniform, a play day with Summit School, planned; cheerleaders were chosen to fire our spirits at the Varsity games. Our industrious athletic committee achieved these and many other innovations under the leadership of )anice Stephens. Kneeling: Dorcy Caswell, Margo Harris, Jane Merchant. Sally Lam pert.

A scenery painter marches onto the stage to put the finishing touch on a doorknob. What scene is this? Just a typical rehearsal of Sense and Sensibility, the Jane Austen play which the Dramatic Club produced last March. Sandra Van Fossen played “sensitive” Marianne, and Joyce Howard, “sensible F.linor; both were outstanding performers! The Dramatic Club, however, was not the only group to put on a production this year. There were the charming Lower School operetta and also the Senior Choir production. How the choir managed to squeeze in operetta practices during Faster program rehearsals is a mystery. At Christmas, Faster and Commencement they sang in a markedly professional manner. Their operetta, The Waltz Dream, was set in old Vienna, complete with lilting Strauss melodies.
