Her friendship is cherished by each of us. One morning when Cyrus P. Bear, official mascot of Northrop Collegiate School, was sitting in front of the lower hall fireplace dreaming of books and themes and Blue and White teams and plans for a bright new year, he was pounced upon by a group of girls in red ties who asked him very confidentially if he would like to be the star of a Tatler production. Cyrus accepted with great pleasure, but just as he was off to be immersed in the activities and accomplishments of a wonderful year, he said, in a very low voice, “You know, not everyone thinks I’m a real bear.” But Cyrus is real; he is as real as the school spirit which he embodies, and he lives in the halls of Northrop just as surely as respect and pride in the ideals of our school live in the hearts of each of its students. As long as the aims and hopes, the sadnesses and the joys, the satisfactions and achievements of school life continue with us. there will be school spirit; and as long as there is school spirit, why who else but Cyrus could tell this story ...

With her mature perception and kind understanding, Suna has 14 been an enjoyable addition to our class, as any senior who has heard her happily humming in the library will tell you. Her expert knowledge in the field of science has been revealed through clear exp'anations which have been invaluable to many seniors struggling with their chemistry problems. In the enviable fashion of all of Northrop's foreign students, Suna has achieved a commendable scholastic record and revealed both true athletic ability and genuine friendliness. With her enjoyable personality and sparkling charm, Suna has truly been a successful ambassador of good will.

Barby’s undaunted spontaneity has made her the most effervescent member of the class, for she is continually glowing with endless energy and quick wit. Wherever she may be, her hilarious stories of the Saints and Shads or telephone calls from Amherst generate a colorful atmosphere. Her desire to help others is yet another expression of her sincere friendliness for all. Barby has also been a staunch aid to the White team, and her writing talent Publication!

She may tell you that she’s “flustered!” but her easy-going manner is revealed by that famous “hch-hch” laugh. Barby, without you, our senior year would have lacked much spirit and enthusiasm. Ann Harrington Bertram The gentle minde by gentle deeds is known© The only senior who has kept a perfect attendance record for the past six years, Ann was the obvious choice for our class secretary. Birdie can often be seen expertly tracking down her less punctual classmates at attendance time. Although Ann is a perpetual dieter, her capacity for angel pie and ice cream is unlimited. After another notorious splurge in the kitchen. Birdie never fails to justify herself by replying, “But I’m going on a diet tomorrow! How Ann has managed to finish the most impossible chemistry experiments has astounded the other members of the class. Her talents, however, do not end in the chemistry lab. She is a devoted ski enthusiast and is always to be found among the senior snowbirds. Ann’s interest in other people has •made her a warm and companionable friend to all. Birdie, we’ll never forget the many class discussions brightened by a classic Bertram remark!

It did not take long for us to learn that she had a deadly hand at “Slap.” She is one of the more athletic members of the class, and she has been an invincible member of all the White class and varsity teams, as the Blues, who know the power of her serving arm in volleyball, will tell you. The success of the League dance for the past years has been actively promoted by Deb with all her usual vim, vigor, and enthusiasm. She has been on the Entertainment Committee since she entered Northrop and has been its secre- tary for the last two years. Rarely inactive, Debbie quite often carries a cellophane bag on top of her books filled with knitting — for Eddy, natch! Her friendliness and outstanding organizational ability have made Debbie a valuable member of our class.

Just as Miss Chambers closes the door to her first hour history class a tan polo coat and an orange and black Princeton scarf fly around the corner. It’s Gretchen, late again, but always a treat to look at, no matter how flurried her day is. Her dainty neatness and assured poise are evident marks of a mature and per- ceptive personality. Possessor of one of Northrop’s loveliest voices, Gretchen was unanimously elected president of the Senior Choir. She has added to her active membership in the Drama Club the position of publicity chairman for the Taller. When facetiously asked what she received for Christmas last year, Gretchen will stop, cock her head in thought, and then suddenly remember. “Ohh, do you mean my car?” Such delightful absentmindedness is typical of Gretchen, who still manages to scurry through a day with a bright smile and a cheery word for everyone.

Twenty years from now when we leaf through our Toilers and sec Susie’s pixie face, we will recall the friend who expended so much vitality and sincere effort into whatever task she undertook. Through drive, careful planning, and above all, enthusiasm, Suz never fails to achieve the ultimate. One can always expect to enjoy Susie’s voice in the operetta or in any of the choir’s programs.

As a result, she experiences more complete catastrophes and victories in a week than any other three people do. Ann's limitless energy and exuberance have contributed to the success of many a class project and have been a greatly appreciated part of the Tatler Art Committee this year. Because Brocko is interested in virtually everything, she always has a question to ask, an opinion to offer, or an argument to defend actively. Her generous contributions of joyous shrieks and tragic groans lend humor to every situation. In her uninhibited way, Brocko has been seen many a time Undying around the Senior room alone to get into practice for the weekend. Ann’s friendliness, sincerity, and ability to laugh at herself will always make her a favorite. When you know Ann Brockman, you have to say, “There’s a gal who’s really livin’!” Publication!

She is the instigator of many antics conducive to senior room hilarity; but Cindy does not entirely devote her time to fluttering those heavy eyelashes or originating diabolical deeds, for she is a valued contributor to the success of many a project. Her competent work as photography editor of the Tatler has been especially appreciated, for Cindy and her committee, without professional help, have succeeded in taking all the candids Toller Photography Editor, 12 Choir Librarian, 10 Publication Committee, 10, 11, 12 Choir. 10, 11, 12 World Affair Club. 12 book tore Committee, 10, 11 Clou Field Hockey, 10 Clou Volleyball, 10 Clou Botketball, 10. 11, 12 Vartity botketball. 11, 12 which appear in the yearbook. Regularly a member of the basketball teams, Cindy ably led her class team to victory in her junior year. Many a troubled senior has found a sympathetic listener in Cindy, and most important, her vitality and spontaneous personality have made her a most sought after friend. 21 Sheila Elizabeth Connolly Pretty as a Power, neat as a pin A volley ball sails into the air, hits the ceiling, and bounces on the wrong side of the net. Sheila, our senior room wit and class beauty, has attempted another serve. Although athletics is not Sheila’s outstanding forte, she manages, through her lady-like manner and highly amusing comments, to shine on the athletic field as much as she docs in her many other activities. This year, Sheila has ably guided her Entertainment-Publicity Committee into a full-fledged membership on the League Council, proving herself a capable leader and a valuable council member as well. Sheila’s proficiency is further displayed in her consistent first honor roll grades, which are kept despite the rigors of a very extensive social schedule. Her elegance and poised sophistication arc sure someday to win Sheila the title of Miss Debutante of the Year, if she has not already become renowned as an eminent comedienne.

It could belong to no other than Sue Ellertson. This daily treat plus Sue’s constant lending of pencils and paper are marks of the generosity and gentle disposition of this senior. Sue’s mathematical prowess not only helped her obtain the position of class treasurer, but also enabled her to understand even the most complicated chemistry problems — quite a feat! Far from being a bookworm, however, Sue has managed to go bookless very often and still maintain a consistent honor roll average.

Sue always has time for photography, skiing, and knitting. Rarely seen without a boy’s ring around her neck, she can always look forward to a busy weekend. Sue’s most important quality is her readiness to donate advice or friendship,'causing her to be one of the most admired and appreciated girls of the class. 23 Mary Artemis Evans Mind cannot follow it, nor words express her infinite sweetness Here is an angel's face — a radiant smile lighting up flushed cheeks and green eyes smothered in thick lashes, a quick wink, a friendly touch. Mary's sweet, ingenuous disposition has endeared her to many, young and old. A girl with endless interests and ideas, she has great enthusiasm for her many activities, such as heading the Public Relations Committee, cheerlcading for Blake, and participating in all sports. Mary’s outstanding athletic ability has forwarded the class’s prestige in every sport. She has also shown her enthusiasm by acting in Drama Club plays. Her feeling for other people made her an effective ambassador to Germany on the American Field Service last summer, and life in a German college town, we hear, was a very broadening experience. Mary always has a nickname for her acquaintances and an encouraging word for her classmates. Seldom could one meet a person so natural and friendly.

However, Audrey finds justification in an indignant correction when a hapless senior is ignorant enough to ask who Jo is or, worse yet, to call Jo a he. It seems surprising to many that Audrey, with her prodigious Latin skill, did not pick a Roman name for her horse.

Audrey can usually be enticed into a fast card game at recess or after lunch.

Audrey, here’s to a truly bright and happy future! 25 Karin Geggie If you would rule the world quietly you must keep it amused A tall, sophisticated brunette lounges on a senior room couch while her classmates listen to her raptly and burst suddenly into screams of laughter. Geg has just finished one of her renowned jokes! This clever girl should not mislead her classmates, however. “I’m sure 1 failed this test, Lambie,” is one of Karin’s favorite phrases; yet she has never received grades below honor roll ratings. Her crowded list of extra-curricular activities includes membership in the Drama Gub, Tatler and Northrop Notes Committee. A real culture enthusiast, Geg has found time to attend almost every art exhibit and symphony concert since the year began. Karin's magnetic, out-going personality has gained her a class of loyal friends who will never forget the hilarious intellect of a girl whose love of people, life, and mirth has made her the outstanding humorist and expert on all things of our class.

Through untiring steps to strengthen our honor system, Cathy has accepted the true responsibility of her job as League president and has revealed a genuine devotion to the aims of her school.

From her first day to her last at N.C.S., Johns has been one of the main forces of our class. As Northrop's representative on the Dayton Teen Board, editor of the Tat Ur senior section, cheerleader, and chorus president, Kay has indeed made a fine name for herself. Because of a certain redhead, she’s never lacking for weekend diversion, and her witty tales of adventure have been the delight of many a classmate. A true jazz enthusiast, Kay’s presentation of Lullaby of Birdland” will go down in posterity, as will her efforts to gain that streamlined, scarecrow-like figure. But above all, her spontaneous personality and willingness to give of herself will remain most vivid in the memories of all who know Kay.

Judy and a strawberry blond pageboy hairdo are synonymous; her hair literally crowns her head. Well versed in decorum, our li’l Emily Post is hardly ever seen without her black leather purse. That she is class president is evidence of the respect and admiration Judy holds among her classmates. Scholastically, Judy ranks very high; her work is marked by a meticulous and thorough hand.

Whether it be achieving the honor roll, cheerleading at Blake games, or taking part in any sport, Cheryl finds a genuine pleasure in doing it, and she docs it well. Her exceptional ath- letic ability has culminated in her election as all school White team captain. Out of school, she can be seen schussing down snowy slopes at Telemark or Aspen, or soaking up the sun at Camp Hillaway. Whether it be exam time or the period after gym, her neatness is the envy of her more frazzled classmates. A Northrop-ite from way back, Cheryl has grown from the little fourth-grader in pigtails to the tall senior with the streamlined legs, and has become an essential part of the class. Her mild, constantly cheerful disposition has kept us going through many a crisis.

Her witty remarks often send her classmates writhing on the senior room floor. Behind Lassie's jadc-grccn eyes lie many secrets, for she is an understanding confidante and a loyal friend. Lassie divides her leisure moments between Minneapolis and her old homestead, Des Moines, Iowa very equally, as well illustrated by her many male correspondents from that state.

It is this amazing literary talent, highlighted by a session in journalism at Northwestern University last summer, which has illuminated the Northrop Notes this year. As in a math equation, Liz’s literary talent equals her musical ability, for she has aided the octette with her soprano voice and played the piano and N.C.S. organ beautifully. (Brubccic on the former and Brahms on the latter!) Liz has earned an excellent academic record, and her work, amazingly, is never late. Personality-wise, Liz is tops. Her buddies know her for her dry, spur-o-the-moment humor, her practical opinions, and her sincere friendliness. Lizzie, with all your industrious resolve and top journalistic aptitude, your becoming the first woman editor of the New York Times would not surprise us a bit.

She adjusts her camera, snaps another candid, and gives forth with the slow, satisfied smile which is so familiar to her classmates. The class may go through many moods, depression, anger, riotous laughter; only Martha possesses enviable calm. Her calm ability to tackle all problems with cool assurance must be her secret to success in schoolwork and sports. Martha was one of the few enthusiasts who braved Nature for four long days on a canoe trip to the North Woods. Her faculty for spiking a volleyball has won innumerable points for the White team, as has her membership on class hockey and basketball teams. Although Martha is slow to speak, what she says is startlingly pertinent and indicates her extensive knowledge in the fields of science, politics, and world affairs.

These awards represent not only her equestrian prowess but also the successful training of her two champion English cockers, a feat resulting from Lyn’s endless patience and gentle understanding. Her beloved horses and dogs have been used as hero and heroine in many a poignant masterpiece — lyric, story, or painting. Such creative ability has made Lyn the pride of her class. Among the winners of the Taller literary contest, one is always sure to find one of Lyn’s excellent entries; and her outstanding perform- ances as a member of the Drama Club have been enjoyed by all. “Powerhouse” Nesbitt has made a name for herself too with her double whammy volleyball serve. Lyn may not make the Olympics, but she will probably paint the posters for it.

Mary Charlotte has tackled many activities with great gusto. Her spirit has been felt on numerous committees as well as on the hockey field. As captain in our junior year, Mary led the class to an all school victory in volley ball. Her overfilled locker, sage remarks, famous relics (Stinky and Rendcll), and her ability to lose or break her glasses arc famous in the senior room. Equally well known are her hectic weekends due to a gentleman from Minnetonka. One of the few girls who will never have to worry about an insufficient book list, Mary Charlotte has read practically everything published, or so it seems to her less informed classmates. Through the School Procedure Committee, Mary has revealed a steadfast loyalty to our honor system. This quality extends into all her relationships, for one could not find a more loyal friend.

One of the best artists in the senior class, she has had her works displayed frequently in the hall exhibits. In her many years at Northrop, she has been an invaluable aid on class teams, and because of her height, she has given the class of ’56 many victories in basketball. Skiing is another of her favorite pastimes, but it has caused her several injuries which might have dampened the spirits of lesser people, but not Ole’s. Always willing to tell a good story.

She is admired, also, for her varied talents, which include her ability to charm a budding young doctor. Kate’s intense interest and perseverance show in everything she undertakes. Her contributions to the success of the Drama Club were rewarded by her unanimous election as its president, and her creative ability was put to use in the work as layout editor of the Taller. Kate has an excellent knowledge of the arts, and she is, undoubtedly, one of the best read members of the class.

Gwen’s resourceful imagination and industrious planning have been responsible for the success of our class dances and have also guided the decoration of the senior room. Along with these organizational abilities goes Remie’s musical talent, for she has been a valuable member of the octette for two years. Definitely to be added to this list is Gwen’s ability to stay in the social swing, an accomplishment which can be attributed to her wordly wisdom and charms, and the attentions of a certain Ripon ctudiant. Gwen’s accurate insight into her surroundings and her quick and lighthearted sense of humor have made her a deeply understanding friend.

Yet this tiny brunette always looks immaculate in her very proper uniform and blazer. Patty is a constant terror to the Whites on every class and varsity team. Her athletic skill and competi- tive spirit have helped the Blues win many a game. Even though Patty, as vice president of School Procedure, has had the arduous task of maintaining law and order in N.C.S., she has always had the sincere respect and admiration of everyone. Her ability to reason clearly and logically in any situation and her willingness to volunteer help on every committee are two of her outstanding qualities.

Her election as Blue team captain has rewarded her athletic prowess Clare’s lithe figure, although she consumes more food than half the class combined, has gained her the envy of all. With so many interests — which do not exclude the opposite sex — she has maintained an extremely high scholastic average. Her frequent complaints about her “incubus” arc heard almost every day in the senior room, yet her native intelligence has never failed to pull her through in grand style.

She has once again borne cheerfully the brunt of her classmates’ merciless teasing about her several male admirers. The individuality of this unusual brunette has made her candid opinions greatly valued. She possesses vast knowledge about almost any topic. This is, perhaps, because she has read books on everything from astronomy to bee raising! Bliss’ horse is her most prized possession, but we must not forget her fabulous collection of tropical fish. Bliss’ spirit has made her an indomitable participant in athletics. The unlucky for- ward who is guarded by Bliss in basketball finds herself stifled on all sides by a determined adversary.

Under class president Jcnella Randcll, secretary Mary Smith, and advisor Miss Nottbohm, the class of 1957 has proved that spirit and diligence can accomplish much. Tops both musically and academically, as evidenced by the Junior Quartette and formidable Qollcgc board showings, the Mild Ones roared off to a hilarious start through their motocyclc exhaust in the Old Girls’ Party skit last fall. Then with revenue from cvcr-lucrativc food sales, the bookstore, a stuffed animal sale, and the class dance, the juniors held their J.S. at the Minnekahda Club, climaxing the year with an event to be truly proud of. Always conscious of League Council and school activities, the juniors have clearly showed the capability with which they will carry school leadership next year.

Whenever Cyrus dashes into the lunchroom, feeling the need of a fifth dessert, he is bound to bump into fellow-sympathizers from the convivial sophomore class. Known for outlandish pranks and unbelievable appetites, the sophomores have carried their abundant energy and vitality into every activity undertaken this year. This interest was especially evidenced by the girls’ excellent participation in Choir and Drama Club presentations. Class projects met with great success, too. The girls thoroughly stuffed their customers with food at the bazaar and gave a very fine dance in the spring, in addition to competently managing their half of the second hand bookstore. Crowning glory came with the class’s victory in the hard-fought volleyball championship. Under the leadership of president Sally Kinnard. secretary-treasurer Karen Molander. and advisor Mrs. Howell, the sophomores have made a remarkable place for themselves in senior high life. 51 CLASS OF 1958 CLASS OF 1959 As leaders of the junior high, these forty-two indefatigable freshmen, with Ginny Brackett as president and Julie Mcech as secretary-treasurer, had all their irons in the fire this year. Not only did they astonish their teachers with numerous and impressive academic projects, the Nines also organized the four new and very successful Junior High Clubs. “A veritable group of Madame De-farges! ejaculated Cyrus to advisor Miss Blodgett when he saw the Knitters, a group including many freshmen. Kay Hendrickson and her first-rate committee kept the bookstore open nearly twenty-four hours a day this year, and the annual good will project, a program for the children at the Northeast Settlement House, and the ninth grade play, “A Christmas Mystery Story,” were highly successful undertakings.

Christmas sparkle in the main hall was provided by Eights. Eights display skill acquired in new First Aid course. “The eighth grade did it again!” gasped Cyrus in admiration. And indeed they did, for the class of ’59 began a year of top achievement by winning the Taller Ad Contest for the second time in a row. Not content with merely winning a half-day off. however, the Eights worked hard on all their class projects and put themselves high on the honor rolls again this year. Under president Reggie Sigal and secretary-treasurer Mary Pohl. the girls presented a fine Book Week program for the Lower School last fall, decorated a shining Christmas tree in the main hall, and climaxed the year's activities with a wonderful dance in the spring. When not busy teasing their long-suffering advisor, Mrs. Iglitzin. the Eights are sure to be otherwise occupicd-pcrhaps with practicing intricate bandages mastered in First Aid class on unsuspecting friends. If this year is any indication of the future, the Eights’ unique resourcefulness will surely fulfill their determination to achieve great things. 53 CLASS OF 1960 This happy-go-lucky class has certainly made a memorable entrance into Upper School life. These newcomers arc known for a gay and fun-loving spirit, and as Cyrus would say, while peering craftily into their homeroom, “Who’s got the noise machine in here? These lively girls not only dabble in fun and frolic, but also have worked hard to establish a top academic record this year. A picnic at Gretchen Bochrcr’s home last fall began a year of wonderful friendship between the seventh graders and their senior big sisters, whom they royally entertained at another picnic this spring. Under president Jill Dow, secretary-treasurer Pam Odcndahl. and advisor Miss Ellinwood, the girls collected many toys for underprivileged children of the Settlement Home and avidly participated in their junior high clubs and committees. Congratulations. Sevens, you have made this a happy and prosperous year indeed. Class projects included toy collections for settlement houses.

Cyrus, the bear, first met the sixth grade when he was busy perfecting his waltz jump out on the skating rink last winter. Ever since, Cyrus has turned to the “seniors” of the Lower School for their excellent advice on figure skating, or for that matter, on any of the many responsibilities of Lower School leadership. These girls have headed many activities, such as charity work for the Red Cross and Community Chest. They entered the Toiler Ad Contest this year for the first time, with such enthusiasm that they won second place! Cyrus heard from class president, Marion Bennett, that the sixth grade especially enjoyed their field trips this year when they saw “Huckleberry Finn” and the public library. They also edited the Lower School magazine, “Tweener Times. So many activities so well accomplished kept Cyrus jumping all year. “Such activity as there will be in the seventh grade homeroom next year!” he predicted to Mrs. Chamberlain.

But the fifth grade carried out its safety program both at home and in school so well that Cyrus’ services as Chief Hose Holder were never needed. The highlight of the Fives’ excellent fire prevention study was an assembly complete with the cow that kicked over the lantern in the Chicago fire, a documentary that Cyrus would not have missed for the world. The Fives have been to the Art Institute this year and, as a special treat, to a luncheon at the Nankin Restaurant with a father of one of the girls. The class also began its very own Book Exchange and Poetry Clubs. Cyrus loves to run into the fifth grade library corner and put his nose in a book. Bounding down the east playground one day this spring, Cyrus found the fourth grade grouped around a tree, busily studying it. “They must have found some honey!” he squealed as he wriggled his way through the group to see what was going on. That was when Cyrus discovered the field trips of the Nature Study Club organized just this year by the scientists of the fourth grade. The Fours also learned much about pioneer life in early Minnesota and invited Cyrus along on their special field trip to the Sibley House in Mcndota. The fourth grade learned to make good use of the library this year, and each girl read ten books during the year and learned a whole poem each month. Cyrus puffed to Mrs. Johnson that such industry was just wearing him out! HOW IS YOUR BODY LIKE J. A MACHINE? FOURTH GRADE Standing: I. Hill , M. Brooks, M. levy, T. Corlson, t. Par-ten, J.

Such fun was connected with the Threes’ social studies, with which Mrs. Kohl said the girls have done exceptionally well. During this unit, they took classroom trips to foreign countries. “1 went along, too!” smirked Cyrus. Music classes were a favorite, and with Miss Indihar’s help, the girls advanced in note reading. Cyrus had the most fun, though, at the Indian Pow Wow, a high point in the year’s studies. The girls dressed in Indian costumes and ate real Indian food. After these exciting events, Cyrus said confidentially to Mrs. Byran that he thinks Northrop just might have some international diplomats from this class of world travelers. Many times this year when Cyrus poked his head into the second grade room there was not a soul at home. “Well,” he sighed enviously, ‘‘they’re off on another field trip, I suppose.” The Twos told Cyrus all about their excursions, for they saw- a fire station, a bakery, a dairy, and the public library in their study of community helpers. Cyrus could think of nothing more exciting, unless it was the guppies. The girls raised these fish in their very own aquarium. “This is the first one to be balanced by a second grade,” said Mrs. Valley. They also cared for a chrysalis until it became a butterfly. After seeing such wonderful things, Cyrus asked the second grade if he could be a science expert too (even if fish did make him a little squirmy). SECOND GRADE Standing.- P. Clifford, B.

FIRST GRADE “Well! said Cyrus, plopping into the first grade room one morning. “We didn’t have four frogs, a snake, and a large Tiger salamander when I was in first grade. Cyrus discovered that these class mascots were part of a year round scientific program that Mrs. Nelson had planned for her girls. They studied farming during the fall, watched birds in the winter, and took a spring trip to the Butler Wildflower Gardens. The Ones also studied the story of food, and Cyrus was thoroughly pleased, when as a climax to the unit, the girls brought food for needy families. Social studies this year centered on family life- and its duties, and the girls also enjoyed art and music. “Hum,” sighed Cyrus, “I wish I had learned that much when I was in first grade!” If Cyrus is nowhere to be found, he is undoubtedly flopping in the kindergarten room, where he knows the most exciting things are bound to happen. Last fall Cyrus could hardly wait to show Miss Gray, Mrs. Byran, and Miss Cole the pictures the girls and boys drew of them and tell them all about the pumpkin pic the class made for their Thanksgiving party and the “Night Before Christmas” program they gave for their parents. Mrs. Hanson said that Cyrus could come along to the University farm and Como Park Zoo and learn about animals, too, if he minded his manners at the special breakfast given when the class studied good eating habits. “Oh, I will!” squeaked Cyrus as he tucked his napkin carefully under his chin. “Kindergarten is the most fun of all!” KINDER- GARTEN S.

Northrop is proud of a student government which is based on the ideals of an honor system and student responsibility. Under president Cathy Harrison, co-treasurers Katy Lundholm and Jane McCaull, secretary Kate Lowry and the school officers and representatives, and with the support of our advisor. Miss Gray, the League Council has strived to carry out these ideals and to serve the school in the best way possible. There have been drives for good manners and a more thorough knowledge of the honor system. with Council members speaking during many class conferences. As money-making projects, the girls edited a student address and telephone directory and showed movies which Council members took in school. Last fall the Council sent delegates to the State Student Council Convention, and its big event this spring, a Foreign Student Day, lent a truly international air to the school. Cyrus enjoyed accepting the Council’s open invitation to its lunch meetings, where he was highly impressed with the scope of activities. Standing: D. Loudon. S. Bormon, M. Evom, S. Connolly, P.

SCHOOL PROCEDURE “Patty! cried Cyrus in the hall one day last winter in his most shocked voice. “You have lipstick on! The vice-president of our School Procedure Committee patiently explained to Cyrus that the no-lipstick rule at Northrop was withdrawn this year, and Cyrus soon realized that the committees had many more important things to consider than petitions on that subject from indignant bears. This year, both the senior committee, headed by Patty Stoller with Miss Nott-bohm as advisor, and the junior committee, under Ginny Brackett and advisor Miss Blodgett, have worked to bring a fuller understanding of the honor system to the students. Both decide the penalties for all infractions which occur outside academic classes, while the senior committee guides student study hall supervision and Friday afternoon penalty and tardy halls. These jobs, plus the never-ending task of enforcing and interpreting our school rules and working for the perfection of the honor system have earned these girls high regard and keen respect at N.C.S.

PUBLIC RELATIONS Mary plans Upper School Red Cross Drive with members of her committee. 72 Committee members delivered Thanksgiving baskets to city settlement houses. Under vice-president Mary Evans and with Miss Chambers as faculty advisor, the Public Relations Committee has made’public welfare projects an integral part of extracurricular activity at Northrop. The committee’s big undertaking again this year was the annual Christmas bazaar. The glittering array caused Cyrus to exclaim, between jaunts to the fish pond and snack bar, “Say! Fm going to do all my Christmas shopping right here! The bazaar raised nearly $550 for the Community Chest, and later drives contributed to the Red Cross and March of Dimes. Recess food sale receipts have helped aid an Edison high school student this year, to say nothing of keeping many Northropites from mid-morning starvation. Through Red Cross volunteer work and Thanksgiving food collections, committee members visited city settlement houses, and they also arranged the special Senior Choir concert given at the Oak Ridge Home last Christmas. Public Relations can be proud of its many contributions to public goodwill and welfare. Class and faculty displays attracted crowds of customers on Bazaar afternoon. Before the Bazaar style show, class models receive last minute reminders. ATHLETICS Posture award winners gather around vice-president Dorothy Loudon to receive their pins.

Last fall a field hockey play-day was held with Summit School of St. Paul, and this spring girls from St. Marys School in Faribault arrived for an exciting afternoon of basketball.

PUBLICITY-ENTERTAINMENT During Old Girls' Party parody Irishmen re-enact Friday assignments. A udience enjoys antics on the stage at the Old Girls' Party for the New. In the fall, everyone looks forward to the afternoon when hilarious class and faculty skits are given in celebration of the Old Girls’ Party for the New. This year proved no exception, for under vice-president Sheila Connolly and her Publicity-Entertainment Committee, the Party was a rousing success. In addition to handling publicity for school events, the girls also provided festive table decorations near holiday time and for all visitors’ days. Cyrus waited all year to attend the League dance, the committee’s big event in March, sponsored by League dues. He vowed to do every lindy or never have a cup of punch all evening. Later, sitting at a table slowly sipping his seventh cup of punch, Cyrus admired the decorations of the “Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White theme and told himself that only fools and silly bears try to do every lindy. The dance’s success climaxed a year of activity which has shown that Publicity-Entertainment, with Mrs. Howell as faculty advisor, has fully proved itself as the League’s newest committee. Committee members bring spring to the Crosby room for the League Dance. The sophomore Haircuts give their all to You Are So Rare” at Old Girls’ Party. Drummer goes” at the League Dance. 77 WORLD AFFAIRS CLUB ''Educational Goals brings lively debate during Town Meeting. Newly organized this year for juniors and seniors interested in current events was the World Affairs Club. In September Clare Ueland was elected president, and an executive committee planned the meetings under the helpful and enthusiastic guidance of advisor Mrs. Iglitzin. A number of members had the opportunity to lead various meetings on such topics as The French in North Africa,” The Controversial Middle East,” and Reunification for Germany.” When the club’s plans to hold a Town Meeting of the Air for the Up per School came true this spring, Cyrus could hardly wait to take part. In hopes of being an assistant in the audience, he practiced saying. Madame Moderator, I have a lady in the balcony!” over and over in his most impressive voice. The members worked hard on a panel discussion and audience participation so that a vei7 authentic program highlighted World Affairs activities this year. Back row: B. Beim, L. Alexander, C.

LIBRARY AND B00KR00M There is nothing that Cyrus enjoys more than flopping on a library window scat with his shoes off to peruse the latest magazines. Under chairman Toni Robb and librarian Miss Cole, the Library Committee has kept an orderly library and maintained SILENCE for Cyrus and other diligent readers and researchers. Specific duties of the committee include shelving and signing out books, straightening the stacks, and myriad other small tasks which make our libary an extremely useful one. Thanks to the junior high Bookroom Committee, headed by Kay Hendrickson, Northrop students may purchase supplies from the bookstore at nearly any time. Keeping supplies and the account book straight in the face of lines of customers is the job of this large committee; and when inventory time arrived, Cyrus, proud of being an extremely accurate bear, offered to count pencil erasers and pen points to show his appreciation of the committee's fine work in the bookroom this year.

A highly diligent Knitting Club, under the master needles of Miss Rowley, became expert enough to complete projects for the Red Cross, which attracted a very determined beginner in Cyrus P. Bear. The Science Club delved into photography and medicine as two of its projects, and with the help of Mrs. Harrison, accomplished much in the scientific field. Members of a very enthusiastic Pep Club were expert Varsity-game cheerleaders this year, and in addition to originating rousing main hall bulletin boards, the girls studied baton twirling with Mrs. Hanson. The Art Club spent much of its time making the new enameled jewelry, with club pins as an early project. Under the guidance of Miss Johnson, they later studied human anatomy.

Epitomized by director Miss Indihar as “the only group that can slouch and still sing on key (would you please sit up!),” the choirs have contributed a year of fine singing to programs at Northrop, despite moments of rather poor posture. The Senior Choir first sang on Veterans’ Day, when an entire service was devoted to patriotic numbers, and both choirs sang at the Thanksgiving chapel.

The Senior Choir also did repeat performances at the Oak Ridge Home and in the Radisson Hotel lobby. The highlight of the Senior Choir’s activities, a joint concert with Breck School on April 29, meant that Cyrus’ bass could blend at last without causing undue alarm. The Junior Choir, under president Leslie Stein and secretary Lucy Caswell, completed its program with a concert in May, while the Senior Choir, with Grctchcn Boehrer as president and Marcia Swanson as secretary, ended a year of fine work with the League Day performance.

Come on and kiss me, Kate!’ ’’ squealed Cyrus as he confronted the mirror in a huge slouch hat and gold-buckled boots when no one was looking. Even if he was not tailor-made for the male lead, Cyrus thoroughly enjoyed attending the Senior Drama Club’s colorful production of The Taming of the Shrew” this year. Under the excellent direction of Mrs. Scott, new head of the Dramatic Department, the Drama Club’s first Shakespearean presentation was a huge success, playing two performances for the first time in Northrop history. President Kate Penney was assistant director of the play, which starred Carolyn Laymon as Katharina and Eddy Fclien as Petruchio, with Mary Evans, Sue Gilmore, Sally Kinnard, Katy Lundholm, Cindy Maughn, Mary' Smith and George MacDonald filling out the cast. Under Gretchen Boehrer, Pat Stoller, Sue Ellcrtson and Sondra Swanson, the unsung heroes of the stage and property crews expertly handled the complicated backstage production. The brand new Junior Drama Club had the pleasure of preparing a charming play called “Antic Spring,” completing a remarkable year of dramatic activity ir both the junior and senior highs at Northrop.

As school mascot, Cyrus is a very proud bear, for it is his official duty to wear the blue or white ribbon belonging to the winning team of a year’s competition in field hockey, volleyball, and basketball. With such an honor, Cyrus follows very closely the heated rivalry of the Blues and Whitcs hcaded by all-school captains Clare Ucland and Cheryl Lampe. respectively. Last fall the seniors were victorious for their third straight year in class field hockey; and when the Varsity game rolled around, the White team emerged the winners by a score of 2 to 1. The Blues retaliated in volleyball, however, by winning a very close Varsity game, and a slamming sophomore team won the class championship. In the spring, the seniors out-maneuvered all opponents to win in class basketball, and in one of the best-played Varsity games ever seen, the Whites edged out of a very evenly matched race to win, 11 to 10. Through the Blue-White competition, both team skill and good sportsmanship have become a valuable part of the intra-mural sports program at Northrop. 86 BLUE VARSITY VOLLEYBALL TEAM Standing? P.

When I looked up I saw Flash standing innocently with his head in a bush. My brother was lying underneath the cart that had turned over on him. He was yelling “Get me out of here and hurry!” We were both badly scratched and looked as though we had both been in World War II. I will never forget Labor Day in 1955.

He was lonesome because he was the littlest star and none of the other stars would play with him. The little star’s name was Twinkle. One day Twinkle was so sad that he went and told his mother about it. Twinkle’s mother's name was Winkle. When Winkle heard that none of the stars would play with Twinkle she said to him. Twinkle, why don't you go out and start a game by yourself and if it is a good game and the stars sec you having fun. maybe they will want to play, too. Twinkle went out and started to go swimming in the Milky Way. After he had been swimming in the Milky Way for a while the other stars saw him and said. I bet that would be more fun than anything.” So the stars went over to Twinkle and said. “Twinkle, could wc go swimming with you?” Twinkle said they could and soon they were all playing with him. After they had gone swimming long enough Twinkle said, Let’s go riding on the Little Dipper. They all wanted to so they went riding on the Little Dipper.

Ice not yet melted The smooth glaze not crushed by hurrying feet. Feeble sun filtering between the gray dingy awakening buildings. People on their way to work Footsteps resounding on the hoary cement. The click of spindly high-heels. The deep, dull thud of men's flat shoes. Shades and blinds going up Doors being unlocked. — Yellow light — get set — The jarring buzz of the bell — Green — now go. The razzing” of a car engine And a “Hi Ya Babe” from a fresh boy. Nicollet.

Honorable Mention Upper School Poetry Death Is a Very Strange Thing by Susie Borman, XII If someone ever asked me, I could say I have seen a person dying. I could tell them I have seen a funeral parlor banked with flowers and have smelled that sweet, stale odour that always lingers there. I have watched them open the coffin, and 1 have seen what lay inside. If someone ever asked me, 1 could tell them, but death is a very strange thing to me. I only remember that the first time in my life that I saw it, it was something very strange and beautiful. It wasn't horrible or fearful or frightening; it made me want to stand and stare and comprehend. This is tthat makes me think I know death not at all. And today, when I think about it, I wonder still, and I think that I will be years older and see death many times again before I understand why that strange, strange picture from the first time will not leave my mind. One afternoon when 1 was in ninth grade, we were all at the senior high football game, cheering loudly for our team and eating all the carameled apples and popcorn that we could find money for. Suddenly, right in the middle of the game, two boys were carrying Jackie Rollins away from the bleachers. I caught only a glimpse of them through the crowd, and she was very straight in their arms, as though she were unconscious. Everyone was milling around the gate, and soon a quiet wind of voices rose from light, small groups of people who were casting somber glances around the field. My friends were talking too. They were telling all about what had happened to her. Some of them had been sitting right next to her and besides, they knew Jackie very well because she was in our class at school. I saw the ambulance move carefully away between the parked cars, and I didn't hear too much until one of my friends asked if anyone knew what had really happened. “Hmm. well. I guess everybody knows it now.” someone said. She had an epileptic fit. She’s had it for a long time.” I went home, and I didn’t think about it until the next day when one of my friends called me. She said that Jackie was dead. She had died in the hospital during the night. But 1 could remember her so well. I could remember waiting for classes in the hall by her locker, and we always talked then. Her voice had a lovely softness. We would just say. How have you been?” and little things like that, and I always felt proud when she smiled at me in the halls. She was a real person to me. and this was the first time someone I had really known had ever died. I thought about it all weekend. The strangeness wouldn’t go away. It was funny how much I thought. There was a vacant spot in me that didn’t know, and the strangeness began to fill my mind. In school everybody was talking about Jackie and memorials and what each homeroom would do for her. Committees came and collected money for a huge bouquet; it was for the funeral. A girl named Nancy was doing a lot of work, because after all. she was Jackie’s best friend. She was glad to tell us about the family and what different groups were doing for them and interesting things like that. I had never heard such things before. And then I heard that everyone was going to the funeral. I had never been to a funeral before. Nearly our whole class went that afternoon. We took the streetcar, and when we transferred, we made such a crowd on the corner that people had to walk out in the street to 89 get around us. While we were riding I heard some girls next to me talking. They had already been to the funeral home to sec her. I couldn’t help listening to them; I wanted to know. You should sec her in the formal. It’s beautiful. They wanted to have the best for her,” a girl was saying. And they also got her the siring of pearls. They arc just gorgeous. It’s going to be a beautiful funeral, you kids. And you can’t notice her finger either, unless you look real close. It's just a little withered between the thumb and the first finger, but it's really nothing.” I had to turn and look out the window because I didn't see how they could say those things. There were all those other people there in the street car, and it felt funny to be sitting with those girls and going to a funeral and I read the signs to stop the strangeness inside of me. But it thumped all the harder as we ran from the street car in the rain. Inside, everyone was very quiet, and we tip-toed into the little wood-paneled chapel that was part of the funeral home. We had to sit very far back because so many of us came. The air seemed heavy with flowers and silence and faint organ music from behind thick curtains. It was so quiet that I thought everyone was afraid, and (hen with a resounding voice, the minister began. It was a tremulous voice which said things about life and death and their reward. I had never seen people cry before in a public place. But with the minister’s words there came sobs that made me ashamed that i was not crying too. I put my face down and stopped looking at the coffin. But I could still see it, black and curved in banks of flowers, in my mind. 1 couldn't stop thinking about it, I couldn’t stop wondering what was inside of it. even when I made myself look away. The uncontrolled sobs and the minister’s trembling voice and the heavy air pressed dow n on me. and I never knew that there could be so much sorrow in one small room. When the minister finished speaking, he walked over to the coffin and opened the lid. My eyes riveted to its dazzling whiteness. I couldn't see her. 1 could just sec the white satin lining and a huge spray of roses that were lying on what was inside. All the heaviness and density of that room froze and something from the coffin moved out into the air. The organ struck a chord and little rustlings and scrapings began as the people in the front pews began to file by the coffin. I was afraid. I don’t think that the first girl in line had ever seen a dead person either, because she made a little scream and ran into the hallway when she looked inside. For so long I had been wondering, wondering how she looked. I had talked to her, I had known her. and she was a real person. Everyone from school went faster and faster, until they didn't even go by the coffin, they just swerved close to one corner of it. It came to us. It was our turn to leave the pew and go up the aisle. For a split second I looked at her. My eyes couldn't move away from the face. It was lying on a white satin pillow, and her blond hair swirled softly against the curve on her neck. But it wasn't Jackie’s face. It didn't even look like a person. It was a mask on the pillow, strange and beautiful, and it wasn't her at all. It could never have smiled like Jackie or asked little things like how had I been. I just knew that. But there was something else there, and it made the strangeness swell all the more because I couldn't see it all. But I was moving just as fast as the other people and swerving just as they did. and suddenly I was in the hall. I turned around and stared. Only dazzling whiteness met my eyes. I wanted to go back before something could tell me that it was not right; I wanted to smell the close, scented odours of the chancel and stand alone among the flowers, looking. I wanted to feel the heaviness in the air until it didn’t press so hard. I wished that the vacant space inside me would fill up and know and understand. I wanted to reach out and touch her. But it was all over and we were going and people were moving outside. My friends were talking in low voices about how beautiful the service had been. I listened to them to stop the thumping inside. Did you see our bouquet, you kids? Wasn’t it huge? Right next to the coffin, even. Hmmmm. And I looked at everything. Jan. the pearls and the formal and everything. Golly! And ohh. I saw her hand, too! Her hand? I interrupted. How did you have time to sec her hand? I only saw her face. They didn't hear me though, because they were watching the funeral party leave. They didn’t have a chance to feel strange, because when I felt my stomach. I knew all the strangeness in the world was inside of me. and that it would stay there for a long, long time.

Honorable Mention Upper School Poetry Train to Tuebingen by Mary Evans, XII When Betsy shuts her eyes now she can see herself as she stood in that cramped open air partition all trains have. The section swayed with every curve which the engine in the front made, and she was jounced just as she had been jounced by another moving monster, the Minneapolis to Chicago 400. But this train wasn't the “400 ; this train had cube compartments entered through a sliding door, partly a glass window. And in this compartment across from one sat a family who shared their lunch—oranges, brown bread and wurst, a chocolate bar wrapped in gold leaf paper decorative enough to save. There was other evi- 90 dence that this train wasn’t the 400.” Below the windows were strange combinations of letters — Nicht dITncn wahrcnd der Fahrt! At the end of each car there was a sign in this same unfamiliar script which ordered — “Rau-chen verbotcn!” No. this wasn't the train to Minneapolis; but. oddly enough, and as ambiguous as it may sound, it was the train home. the train to Betsy’s home for the summer — Tuebingen, Germany. Betsy leaned against her blimp or a duffel bag. as she reminisced for a moment the day she and her Dad had packed it with wrinkle-proof, no-iron essentials. She remembered with fondness his offhand manner as he recounted for her the times he had stuffed the same grip during his Army career. But presently this memory dissolved itself into a whoosh of the wind as the train pressed farther south on the main track from Stuttgart. She shut her eyes to the graying German countryside, to the pumpkin orange roofed houses clustered like nursery rhyme children about village churches. She shut her eyes and her memory bounded back over the past hour to Stuttgart where she had waved gaily from the compartment window to Ann from Indiana and Chuck from Oregon as they had set off on the arms of their families. In her memory Betsy met Ardys again and together the two girls sat down in the third class passenger cars. Looking around, Betsy had been reminded of the lil Injun” rhyme — and then there were nine ; nine boys and girls left, five headed for the Rcutlingcn area and four for Tuebingen — both just one waning hour away. A certain quiescent air had seemed to bind everyone together when at ten after seven the rain had come. Then it had seemed as though everyone had been drawn by a magnetic force toward Ulrich and Dieter, the chairmen of the group, both German boys who had — three years before— lived in the United States. Here were two friends who had experienced that intangible lump which Betsy felt certain each of her companions, as well as she herself, now had in his heart. After all. the time was drawing near. Soon she would be meeting her family, the people with whom she was to spend three months, the people about whom she knew very little save for the occupation of Herr — a forestry official. This information and other dittoed bits she had read ravishingly from pink and yellow sheets. Betsy-had, in this past hour, removed Rose’s letter from her navy-blue shoulder-strap purse (with its zippered pocket for passport No. 670241) and had reread it. especially the part at the end which went We can plan our vacation later. The important thing now is that you arrive safely from across the ocean. Betsy had tucked the letter back into her purse and had joined in singing. After the song a few flat jokes were flung out experimentally. Somehow everyone’s laugh was forced. Betsy and Ardys. at 7:20. had gone to the W.C. room to clean their hands with their scented ’Travelettc soap leaves. They hadn’t needed any lipstick, for both of them were flushed as they had viewed their reflections in the tiny mirror. Jewels had twinkled in their eyes while butterflies had fluttered in their tummies. Betsy now remembered her confusion at the feeling. Back in the car five minutes later, Betsy had seized an opportunity to ask Ulrich about her family.” His answer had been precise and to the point; Mrs. Reickert is renown for her work in the international scope.” Betsy shied away and inquired no further. This wasn’t what she had wanted to be told, although she didn’t quite know what she had really wanted to hear. She felt an unexplainable heaviness. At twenty-five to eight the train had arrived in Rcutlin-gen. The sundry group which had waved from under the pavillion as the car had slowed down, had run toward each of the five with open arms. Pat's German father had shaken his hand vigorously. What a pair they had made; Pat. a strapping six-foot-three product of American pasteurized milk. beef, and vegetables and his “father, a small, worn-looking man. Before Betsy had had a chance to glimpse the others, the train had surged forward again. A two minute stop is all. kids,” Ulrich had ordered. O.K., check your luggage so you’ll be ready to move. Next stop, Tuebingen! And now Betsy braced herself against her duffel, ready to move.” More thoughts flitted through her head. This was the 4th of July, her country’s Independence Day. She remembered the Declaration of Independence; she remembered that day last spring when she had viewed the document in its venerated nook in Washington, D.C. She remembered. too. the instances her country had fought to protect the rights which its Constitution upheld; and she felt thankful that over ten years alliances and good will diplomacy had served to eradicate national passions. Betsy breathed the moistened air once more and it seemed a tonic for her. With this breath the heaviness was removed. Suddenly and without warning the sooty monster was zooming past sparsely scattered houses, was dodging over the narrow Neckar River, and now was halting — breathless — at the platform. A bell screamed, the gate in front of Betsy sprang outward, and she felt as though she popped out. too. like “Jack” from his box. But she certainly must not have because her blimp was so cumbersome. She set it on the platform and. with this one arduous action her old feeling. as if it wanted to get even with her for having forgotten it in the scurry, caught up with Betsy and made a direct hit — smack — in the pit of her stomach. Just as instantly, though, another feeling overwhelmed Betsy as she looked into the crowd — the feeling of recognition — recognizing an old friend. She knew that the tall, gaunt man dressed in gray knickers. Robin Hood cap. and the jacket with deer horn buttons and with red hearts embroidered on the sleeves—was Papa. In an instant brown-eyed Rose was embracing Betsy; Mama was hugging her and weeping. Betsy, so overcome by welcomed bliss, cried with her as they followed Papa to the Volkswagen. Honorable Mention Upper School Serious Prose The Cow That Loved to Eat by Sue Robertson. X There once was a little brown cow. Who was always hungry, and how. She would eat in the night Till the dawn broke bright; In the morn she was chopped up for chow. 91 First Place Upper School Limerick Crusader for Non-Conformity by Susie Borman, XII I think my grandfather is the most lovable old man in the whole world. I can just sec him if he should ever hear me say such a thing. He'd squirm in his chair and shake his head and say what he always says when a woman embarrasses him: Oh, slush, slush, wherc're my rubbers? Then a devilishly self-satisfied look would steal over his face as he contemplated the chuckly humor of his statement. Grandpa and Grammy came down from their farm in North Dakota to visit us for Thanksgiving. It was a wonderful chance for our family to enjoy Grandpa's highly uncommon antics for a few days, but 1 don’t think friends of the family would have tolerated him for much longer. Grandpa is very proud of being 79 years old and still as alert as any of those young ruffians just turned fifty — those whippersnappers. I don’t think of age when 1 look at Grandpa; I just think of a Civil War uniform and how wonderfully pompous he would look peering out at me from an old picture with a long saber at his side. Grandpa’s not tall, and he really has a very slight build; but he stands back on his heels, expands his chest, and rocks back and forth there. The whole effect is somehow tremendously overwhelming. He was in just such a position when he was telling me about the horrible mistake President Eisenhower made on T.V. He waved his favorite cigar about and expounded firmly, You know, that was awful, just awful. Why, 1 caught it right away, right away. He said something like ‘And now I extend best greetings from both Mrs. Eisenhower and I.’ Humph, that was awful. What he should have said, you know, is ‘best greetings from Mrs. Eisenhower and myself' Yup. Why, I just couldn't believe it when I heard it. I must unconsciously associate Grandpa with the subject of history, because I have never known a man who has educated himself in the story of civilization as much as Grandpa has. He can call from his memory things that I am sure leave the average person's mind as soon as he reads or hears them. Grandpa drew Suna. our foreign exchange student, into various corners for many hours while he was here, and they chatted about Turkey. When Suna said, Why, Grandpa, you know more about Turkey than I do! he was nearly moved to say Oh. slush again; but instead he chuckled, “Oho. so you didn't expect anything of an old man in his dotage, humph? and then pranced up to our dining room chair and swung his leg over its back. One thing that Grandpa can’t stand is a lot of confounded, noisy women around me. doggone it.” Poor Grammy can't even tell him to put on his rubbers any more, because he'll be sure to say, Now. dammit, Della, you've got to stop hounding me. I'm not going to be an old hen-pecked husband. I'm going downtown to see my friend, and if you don’t watch out. I think I'll walk home. Grammy sat at the window that whole afternoon waiting for Grandpa to come back from town. It got so late that we were beginning to think that he actually was walking home, and then we saw him stepping off one of the buses. Humph. I got alf the way down to 10th street, and then it got too slushy without my rubbers. Shame to waste twenty cents, doggone it.” One can't talk to Grandpa for more than five minutes without learning about the thing in his life that he is proud- est of. He received a letter from the President congratulating him for being one of the oldest precinct chairmen of the Republican party. On the farm, where the letter is framed and hanging on the dining room wall, guests cannot escape Grandpa’s proud speech. Yessir. There it is. Right from Ike. Sec his signature? You bet it is — right from the President. Yessiree.” In the presence of large groups at the farm who arc viewing the letter, we have to be very careful that he doesn't get carried away and do another leg-ovcr-thc-chair-back stunt to prove to us that he’s the oldest chairman in years only. When things arc dragging at one of the parties my mother often plans for friends of the family when Grammy and Grandpa are visiting. Grandpa likes to perk things up by showing the guests how the Sioux used to do their war dances around the council fire. This type of entertainment is especially effective at a cocktail party, when Grandpa does a better job anyway. However, if he doesn’t think this type of amusement sufficient, he has other, more personal means of attracting the guests’ attention. One of his favorites is to pounce on me with the eagle claw — a gripping hand lock on my shoulder— and gloat, Here's Steam Ship Borman, right here! Her initials arc S.S.B.. you know. Steam Ship — HAH! But Grandpa could never in this world really bother me. I want to keep on hearing his gruff and blustery voice thundering that he’ll never be a hen-pecked husband, doggone it.” I don't know what we'd do without his Indian dances at the cocktail hour or his performances at formal dinner parties, when he pinches the skin on his hand into a little ridge and holds it up for all to see, booming. Now, you couldn’t do that, could you? HAH! But I know that the day will come when he’ll march too far in a Shriner’s parade or sit in a draft in his underwear too long. When Grandpa leaves us in this glorious manner, a valiant crusade for non-conformity will remain unillumined by one of the most fantastically alert and educated old gentlemen who ever entertained at cocktail parties. First Placo Upper School Humorous Pros Damp Morning by Clara Ueland, XII Standing on the side door steps, I felt the gray morning gather me into its sodden folds. The night rain had saturated my surroundings and muffled the soprano sounds of the early morning into a quiet alto. Even the happy flute-songs of the birds saddened into sighs under the caves. Out in the street occasional cars swished through the stillness, leaving only raindrops plopping on mounds of dead leaves. From the tree trunks black as pallbearers lining the street my eyes wandered to the walk, which mirrored the somber sky in its wet surface. On the furry shrub by the steps tiny jewels of dew clung to each needle. Persistent drops played a melancholy tune on the garbage can cover. Then, against the muted colors of the scene I saw a blazing pink geranium, radiating joy into the gray morning. 92 Honorable Mention Upper School Serious Prose First Recital by Elisabeth Light, XII The auditorium was filled with eager, expectant parents and children dressed in their party best. I sat stiffly in my chair miserably clutching a wrinkled program with one hand and twisting a pigtail with the other. Mother and Daddy were seated on either side of me. and they seemed to be very much engrossed in the performance. I looked at ihc list of names on the program. I was next to last. How would I be able to wait? This was my first piano recital, and I vowed then and there that it would be my last. My stomach felt extremely unsteady! Mother looked at me. “Isn’t this exciting? she said brightly. “Your very' first recital! Why you’ll do better than any of the others here!” Daddy glanced at her quickly, trying to smother a grin. She made a silent gesture to stop him from speaking. I think I had turned rather pale, because Mother suddenly exclaimed in a loud whisper. “Honey, you don’t look well. Is something the matter?” My throat was too clogged up for me to answer her so I just shook my head. “You arc enjoying this, aren’t you?” she continued. “But of course. 1 don’t really think that teacher of yours has accomplished much with these other pupils. Listen to how sloppily they play.” I nodded again, not replying. Perhaps she was trying to make me feel better, but I wondered what my “Happy Farmer” would sound like after Joan Andrews’ Concerto in B Flat by RachmaninofT. I heard a slight noise beside me. and I saw that soft, intermittent snores were coming from Daddy’s general vicinity. How could he sleep peacefully like that when his daughter was soon going to her doom? I nudged him. and he started. Oh —” he said sheepishly. He sat up very erectly then and again pretended to concentrate on the program. He clapped politely when a scrubbed, beaming little boy came down from the stage after his performance. I envied that boy more than anyone else in the world! He was finished and could really enjoy the rest of the recital. Two teen-aged girls were seated three rows ahead of us. They wore rouge on their cheeks and were dressed in low-cut taffeta dresses. They seem so self-contained. One of them suddenly got up; and I looked down at my program, as she swished toward the stage. It was Susan Gates, playing a medley of standard” tunes. Oh dear, there were only three more performers before me. I noticed that Daddy didn’t seem tired anymore. He glanced covertly at me and crossed and uncrossed his legs. Mother was twirling her handkerchief around her finger. She sat very straight in her chair. Two more children finished their songs, and Joan Andrews was playing the final measures of her concerto. Beads of perspiration stood out on Daddy's forehead. Mother’s handkerchief was tied into five knots. Joan curtseyed and stepped off the stage. My stomach flipped as I rose and walked toward the large black piano. All eyes followed me. and I felt trapped. Maybe I would fall on the stairs leading to the stage and break my leg! That was it! Everyone would sympathize, and no one would ever have to hear me play. I was adjusting the piano stool now, and then I felt the melodious strains of Happy Farmer” flow from my fingertips. I was finished, and I floated back to my parents in a daze. I could visualize my name in lights as the greatest concert pianist of all time. Daddy and Mother hugged me proudly, their faces wreathed with smiles. They seemed terribly relieved. Well, where shall we stop for sodas afterwards? grinned my father, and he and Mother smiled at each other happily. Honorable Mention Upper School Humorous Prose Disillusionment by Susie Borman, XII He is still a child 1 sec, I read it in his eyes. They laugh and love and look and look For he is still a child. He is still a child I sec. I hear it in his voice. It runs and rambles on and on For he is still a child. He is still a child I sec. It will do no good to say: Hold fast your cloak of innocence — For he is still a child. He is still a child I see. What sweetness keeps him there? I think it is the loose-held wrap That you have snatched from me.

It seems as though I just began.” But sure enough, as Cyrus was climbing onto the fireplace bench, past him walked the seniors in Commencement gowns of white. “There will never be another class like the Class of ’56,” he mused, waving to the girls as they walked through the doors. “ ’Course, I won’t be going with them. he said to himself, “for school spirit never leaves a school. If anybody ever looks. I’ll be right here next year, the same as always.” and Cyrus climbed up on the bench and watched until he was all alone in the hall... ...

HEYWOOD PAPER BOX COMPANY 420 N. Third St. • Minneapolis • FE 3-4561 81 South Tenth Street Minneapolis Established 73 Years Honeywell Round the new, improved thermostat that’s going into homes all over America Ring snaps off for decorating A modest pull is all it takes to remove the cover of the Honeywell Round. Long-life spring steel dips hold it firmly in place when you snap it on again. It's easy to paint In just a lew minutes the silver-bronze plastic cover can he easily painted to match your color scheme. No special paints are required. The new Honeywell Round thermostat is in hundreds of thousands of living rooms all over America. And with good reason. Engineering advances give you greater comfort by cutting down sec-saw temperatures. An enclosed mercury switch prevents dust collection on contacts — to assure trouble-free operation. The dial has been redesigned to make it easier to read and set. Different from any other thermostat, its pleasing round lines lend themselves to any decorating plan. You can paint the Honeywell Round to blend with any wall. When’s a good time to have an installation made? When you’re decorating or having the furnace checked or replaced. But there’s no need to wait for a special occasion. So why not have your heating dealer show you the Honeywell Round — America’s newest, most improved thermostat that’s made all other manual thermostats obsolete. $ I 2 7A plus modest installation charge ... the Honeywell I j Round is available from heating dealers everywhere. A base plate (not shown) is also available at slight extra cost to cover any hole left by old-fashioned installation. Home Temperature Control Compliments of The B. F. Nelson Manufacturing Co.
