Gretchen Jeanne Boehrer Happy the girl and she alone, who has a man to call her own Whoops! 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.

Dorothy Eveleth Blomquist Wise to resolve and patient to perform Debbie, who is almost 5'3 , entered our class in the ninth grade. 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.
