A VIVID PAST-A VIBRANT PRESENT-A STARRY FUTURE This is the theme of our 1957 Tatler. Representing the vivid past, may we present Marcus Tullius Tradition, and for the vibrant present, one of his cohorts, Penelope Present (called Penny, of course). It is not easy to acquaint you with these two symbols, for they are more felt than seen and also more growing than grown. Since the day that the basic educational ideals and principles, now in force at Northrop, were first combined and set to use, regard for tradition has gone hand in hand with growth. Believing strongly in the classics, and holding fast to proven values, yet adapting its curriculum to meet a changing world — Northrop combines these elements into a marvelous mixture of the time-tested and the modern to prepare us for the best possible future. But — enough of my chatter. Let Marcus Tullius Tradition and Penny Present take you through the record of 1956-1957 at NCS.

DEDICATION “And now,” said Marcus Tullius Tradition, “we dedicate the Tatler for 1957. I will, of course, make the speech, for I dearly love to recite soliloquies.” “To whom shall we dedicate our Tatler?” asked Penny innocently, but her eyes sparkled because she knew very well the one to choose. “Someone who favors tradition.” “Quite true, and someone who loves Northrop.” “It will have to be a person who is well-versed in the classics. I insist on that!” “She must be a special friend of Northrop girls.” “Yes, and understanding must count, too.” Marcus Tullius Tradition and Penny Present nodded to each other. “It must be she,” they said, and so Marcus stepped forward to dedicate this, the Tatler of 1957 to Miss Beatrice Alice Blodgett, for her generous gift of friendship, understanding, and encouragement to the students of Northrop Collegiate School and in appreciation of her contributions to Northrop’s “VIVID PAST, VIBRANT PRESENT, AND STARRY FUTUREr
