CHAPEL Weekly Senior chapel To Marcus Tullius Tradition and Penelope Present, the fifteen minutes each morning when all of Northrop pauses for chapel is a favorite and very old tradition. Here, Protestants, Catholics and Jews meet together —with no thought of denominational differences — to acknowledge the similarities of religious values and to draw refreshment and inspiration from this quiet time. Chapel at Northrop is not only “listening”; it is also “participating”, as students in all classes, along with faculty members and visitors of note, lead the service. Talks, prayers and music all encourage a thoughtful approach to the problems and questions of the day. “This Northrop tradition,” Penny Present told Miss Gray, “is one of the practical aspects of our student lives that provides a moment for quiet reflection and helps to shape the future.”

CUM LAUDE Cum Loude “Cum Laude — now there’s a tradition I dearly love,’’ beamed Marcus. “It’s such a glorious one, and what’s more, it’s so deliciously old. Founded in 1906; think of it!” “Elucidate,” answered Penny Present. “What is this Cum Laude, and why is it? Some people might not know. Me, for instance.” “ ‘I will speak daggers to her, hut will use none’,” muttered Marcus, quoting Shakespeare through his teeth. “Cum Laude,” he proceeded fco explain, “is Latin for ‘with honor’. The purpose of the Cum Laude Society is to recognize excellence in scholarship at the secondary school level. You know, ‘young in limbs, in judgment old.’ ” “Who elects the members from Northrop?” “Why, the students themselves do, really. Only the top fifth of the graduating class may be chosen. A four-year average of B or above is rerequired, and ‘to be eligible for membership in Cum Laude a student must also comply with the Northrop standards of good citizenship.’ ” “Shakespeare again?” asked Penny. “No, the Cum Laude Charter, which hangs in the office,” answered Marcus. “Northrop’s chapter of the Cum Laude Society is only six years old, but it’s a tradition in which all Northrop members are proud to share.” Sue demonstrates Cum Laude study tactics
