miNNe pous PUBLIC LI OUAQ.Y This is . . . TATLER 1959 Presented by Northrop Collegiate School Minneapolis, Minnesota C.l d cnifZ- 0 MHC 373.9V dL 95 WtrdL L rv J INTRODUCTION Beauty is merely good form, and there is good form in conduct as well as in good painting or a beautiful bridge. Art is very much broader than painting and music and dancing, because there is good form in everything . . . Every human activity has a form and expression, and all forms of expression lie within the definition of art. It is therefore impossible to relegate the art of expression to the few fields of music and dancing and painting. —LIN YUTANG Reprinted from The Importance of Living by Lin Yutang by permission of The John Day Company. Inc., publisher. DEDICATION There is an art to teaching. The holder of this gift finds that, year after year, presenting a chosen subject brings new pleasure and new challenges. To such a person, each student is an individual deserving of both patience and trust. There is one whom we honor this year, because she embodies to us these qualities. We prize her wisdom and her patient guidance. We have offered our minds, empty slates; she has taken them to fill with her knowledge, perception and experience. In appreciation to one who knows and practices her art as a teacher, we dedicate the 1959 TATLER to MISS MIRIAM CHAMBERS 6 Our year is done, and we must leave behind this school where we have lived and worked so many days. In these halls we have known both joy and pain, and it is hard to leave what is so much a part of us. Yet we must go ... do not forget that we were here in these familiar places. The Nurse's Office . . . where the ill, the slight!} ill, and the weary accumulate. The Student Loung . . . rendezvous for work and relaxation. We are students, devoting our hours to preparation for our tomorrow. We have worked with pride and purpose, and we have known the rewards of the search for knowledge. 8:29 . . . last-minute studying in the chaotic sanctum of the Senior Room. The four minutes between classes is time enough for the optimistic to finish neglected homework. A leisurely hour of study in the Student Lounge. 12 Thinking is an art, ami noI a science. Human wisdom cannot be merely the adding up of specialized knowledge or obtained by a study of statistical averages; it can be achieved only by insight, by the general prevalence of more common sense, more wit and more plain, but subtle, intuition. —LIN YUTANG F ACULTY THE ART OF TEACHING Our faculty is the foundation for our goal at Northrop, that of acquiring a sound education. These are the people upon whom we rely to give us the knowledge we seek. We arc fortunate in having on our faculty exceptionally well-educated women who are able to impart to their students the knowledge which they themselves have acquired. One of the most rewarding aspects of attending Northrop is the close relationship between faculty and students. Through valuable discussions in the smaller classes we come to know each teacher personally. The teacher becomes to her student not only an educator, but a counselor and a friend as well. It is in the incorporation of these relationships that the art of teaching lies. JANET M. GRAY, A.B., A.M.

Ann is unaffected by blue days bevies of homework. Ann is noticeable in a crowd in spite of her fraction of height because of her radiating willingness to help to giggle to live. Martha is thoughtful in a quiet way. She will not be forgetful of the lonesome, the depressed, the forgotten, of literature characters plots vocabulary. Martha is sweet— her smile casts a mist over the room her quiet words assure us that the world, too, is sweet. Maria is our AFS student from Argentina. She is Spanish dancing Spanish talking Spanish warm and Spanish. Maria does not seem like a foreigner. She speaks English well. She is so friendly. She has so many dates. She is so much fun to be with. Maria is proud of her country— she loves to talk of Argentina. Now that we know Maria, we want to know Argentina. Margie is a lady playing the piano making home, home sewing cooking reading. Sometimes Margie is not a lady when she squeals at her practical jokes or begs for TATLER subscribers. Margie is feminine when she is a lady fun, when she is not.

Dianne is an American girl healthy pretty a Blake cheerleader. Dianne is full of remarks and questions sometimes intelligent often naive seldom none. Harriet is resolved to accomplish certain things such as becoming a Distinguished Rifleman being a skilled athlete comprehending mathematics. Within this cage of quiet resolution there lies a subtle sense of humor a distinct firmness an honest person. Harriet is not striving to have a personality not her own. She needs not another. Bert is intense in her regard for music people talents science and literature— sensitively so. Bert can be profound or facetious is always ambitious to write to practice pediatrics to appreciate art in all forms. Bert is very quixotic. Dee is an author of TATLF.R material and of the attendance record. Dee is a quantity of coordination. Physically, her body moves harmoniously— she is a cheerleader. Mentally, her mind organizes even Power’s teenboard. Philosophically, she views life with chuckles. In disposition, she is constant with cheer. Dee is an actress and an artist too. Dee will not speak of her birthrights. She fulfills them as she can. 61 Dermy is an object of interest concerned about our problems the world about her fascinating with her tales of travel boarding schools. Dermy is on hand when someone is needed to do a hateful job to lend a dollar or so to be a friend. Heidi laughs much of the time. To our class, Heidi is synonymous with fun. She has fun. She is fun. Heidi laughs much of the time. Heidi is laughable much of the time. Like when she forgets to come to school or talks too long on the phone or hates gym. Heidi will not say anything she does not feel. Still she says a lot about sometimes important things often nothing. So Heidi laughs and we laugh with Heidi. Susie is quick in thought speech action. Yet she helps the slower willingly. Artistically speaking Susie is versatile—able to paint write dress fashionably reason and comprehend science. She can believe and defend truth because she knows it as beauty. Lee is forgetful. She loses her car keys, wallet, books. Lee laughs at herself when she loses her belongings because she has a good sense of humor. By humor we mean wisdom because she has the curiosity to pursue five subjects. She has seen Europe, too. Often Lee looks European. And by humor we mean ability to see the incongruities of the world and grin.

Carol searches out the modern in dress music dance ideas. Carol is always willing to express her feelings on subjects that interest seniors. Pam is a marvel. How can the Merit scholar draw horses in class, or a leading athlete have learned skills from boys—now beaux, or a Northrop senior be always sanguine, or the League President seemingly function on spontaneity? Pam's spontaneous intuition is sometimes extraordinary always right and independent. Jan is the leading aesthetic— she draws edits the TATLER reads criticizes. Jan can always talk about things greater than small and the small. Jan has an opinion on each subject backed up by her reading expressed through her vocabulary. Jan can even spin a hula hoop. Leslie has a strong mind. She must be taught—or die. She must be fair—or perish. She can even quiet our class meetings. Leslie is mature. She knows what to say and how to say it.

That is why we are willing to follow the rules of the School Procedure Committee which she heads and respect the Honor System. Sue can lead a discussion at any place at any time.

SHAKESPEARE Northrop has been our stage; our years at Northrop have been our play, our presentation. We have been actors, as well as directors and stagehands. The senior year is the climax of our play, to which all our efforts have been directed. Other senior classes have presented the same play; the setting is the same, and the costumes have changed very little. What then, makes our senior year, the last act, so special? In September we went to Madeline Island. Other classes have gone there, but for us this was a new and exciting adventure. This was the first time we had been away together as a class. Unity, essential to the success of our last act, was formed and solidified. In early September we chose our seventh-graders. The tradition of having seventh-graders has been a treasured part of other senior classes. Yet these seventh-graders and the responsibility connected with them were ours for the first time. As fall passed and winter came, we grew more accustomed to our red ties and pockets, and our striped blazers. These, the badges of our last act, we had never worn before, and would never wear again. We must have been proud of our blazers, for we wore them in sweltering heat, with both summer and winter uniforms. Christmas brought caroling at lunch, foreign language chapels, the choir program on the last day, and the senior party for the seventh-graders. Miscellaneous, mysterious gifts and a great lovely white sofa were the fruits of this happy confusion. The week of examinations brought the year’s lowest level of morale. Study, study, study became the rule of the week. The possibility that we would be traveling in all directions for a brief interval from school seemed remote. The new semester started with firm resolutions to study even harder than we had previously. The winter passed slowly, but spring finally came with events crowding our calendars. Cum Laude chapel presented honors to the more studious element of our class. The tension rose as the letters of college decisions arrived. These are our critics. Elections of the officers for the next senior class were held. League Day arrived, and we transferred our responsibilities and our red ties to our successors. As commencement neared, excitement mounted. In other years we had been the audience, watching the other casts. This time the spotlight was on us. The excitement, tears, and the congratulations were ours. Now we have told you of our senior year. This is why each scene has been special to us in new and rewarding ways. The irony, the humor, the clations and the dejections have been ours to know as our own in this one brief, but enduring act. 69 THESE ARE THE SCENES OF OUR FINAL ACT. THIS IS OUR SENIOR YEAR.

They devote r markable time and effort to projects both in and out of Northrop’s halls. The whole of the 1958 1959 school year saw these wonderful ones actively support the TATLER fund, the ad contest. Book Week and the American Field Service project. Committees as well as teams have good representatives in this grade. Outside of school, they arc to be found on ski slopes, at parties, and just leaving for somewhere else. At the head of the group we find Nancy Soistad as president of the class. Their talent made The Bluebird happy, and the Christmas choir program melodious.

The Nines arc almost out of the junior high school, but not quite into the senior high school. This intermission has a purpose, however. It sharpens the sense of responsibility and prepares the partakers for next year's increased honor privileges. Duing the year, the Nines have an opportunity to weigh and evaluate their coming role in the senior high school. The Ninth Grade is not a rest period—far from it! Congratulations to a class which shows development of poise, tolerance, and unity of purpose. Now the intermission is over; the pace of work accelerates. With three years of experience and preparation behind them, the Nines are ready to take their coming roles in Upper School life. 82 CLASS OF 1961 President CINDY LARSON Vice-President PAM ODENDAHL Seeretary Treasurer --------------------- BETSY HOWARD I NT ROW: A.

Interests arc indicated in the choice of committee. The personality of each girl is part of the lole of her class's personality. Effervescence, unity and spirit describe the 1958-1959 Sophomores. They pool their talents for the ba2aar, ad crusades, infamous hen-parties and hard-fought athletic games. Spirit is also part of this band. There is a certain challenge to playing a six-point bridge hand; words and phrases are mu h more fun if they arc only half-explained. It is not every group which watches Blake swim, wrestle, play basketball and hockey all in the same afternoon! Sometimes this spirit is channeled into Saturday morning sessions in penalty hall.

Production of the Junior-Senior Dance has demanded energy and co-operation from a unified class. Together, they have brought carloads of coat hangers (not to the dance, to a sale!), baked a million cookies, and watched an almost endless stream of cars. Why all this effort? Well, there are flowers, favors, and decorations to buy . . . dinners, a band, a club and refreshments to order .. . hours, days and chaperones to select! Out of the furor and the confusion comes that unity which must be a special part of each senior class. This unity brings the determination and maturity to direct those who will lead the school. More than any previous year of our school lives, this year must prepare for the next one. 84 UPPER SCHOOL POLL GRADE 7 GRADE 8 Perpetual Procrastinator: Janet Levitt Ellen Siegel Bratest Boho: Mary Connoly Missy Gibson Cutest Couple: Barby and Robby John and Debbie Soakicst Sponge: Susan Mithun Mary Robbins Biggest Brownie: Eleanor Bellows Sonja Fergestad Class Coquette: Cindi Harris Donna Brown I oks busy but is just confused: Jessie Steiner Mary Wilkinson ! ks good even in a b Map sack: Pam Weiner Martha Turner m going on my diet orrow.’’: Kitty Wright Marcia Baur ■t to reach the moon trout a rocket ship: Mary McKinstry Rosalyn Driscoll urday morning with r e: Monica Rogers Mary Robbins nday morning with Jr .

This is the art which the League pursues and the challenge which membership in it presents to us. Through mastery of this art we are strengthened as individuals and as a group. The League is the organization of the Northrop student body. Each girl is a member of the League and able to enjoy the privileges given her through it. The honor system is the greatest trust of the League privileges, relying on the responsibility which each girl must hold for her own actions. Through the several committees in the League, each student is given the opportunity to sene others by sen-ing the League. The League is headed by a council, which consists of officers and class representatives. Together, these girls discuss and decide problems of school activity. The task of sening Northrop by guiding her students' activities is given to our League council. 96 SENIOR COMMITTEE FRONT ROW: M Bean. P. Chisholm M. Albrecht SECOND ROW: G Kerkhof, K.

At Northrop our freedom is our self-government. We main-a n it by energetic participation and determination. Freedom is not static, however; it changes with our attitudes � vard it. Accordingly, its vigor and strength will rise or decline with our own. If we truly believe in our government, � must defend it from the scars of indifference and defiance. Thus, it is ours to honor or defile, to preserve or J card, to cherish or disregard. We realize that the principles embodied in this government arc sound in their purpose ) honor, truth and unity. By upholding the Honor System and co-operating with the School Procedure Committee, we develop the art of obey f the principles we recognize as right, thus preserving this freedom.

The giver is refreshed by the assurance that someone’s life is a little happier, easier, fuller for her effort. For the receiver, gratitude is a cleansing emotion; it takes away a little dejection and a little despair. The art of giving, well-developed, encompasses many in its benefits. This goal, of encompassing as many as possible, is set for the Public Relations Committee. With it in mind, the committee sponsors the Christmas Bazaar as well as fund drives for several charitable organizations. By giving of themselves for others, these girls share in the reward of giving.

ATHLETICS COMMITTEE There is a beauty in the reach for a volleyball, in the chase down the hockey field, in the completion of an intricate basketball play. Muscles and nerves are blended into a taut entity; no motion is wasted, for precious energy cannot be spent. The thrill of a team working together is hardly replaceable by individual glory. After the contest, the engulf.ng exhaustion and contentment of a battle fought surpass the insignificance of its score. In class and varsity games throughout the year we combine our talents in a team which gives its all towards victc y; faces of the players reflect tension, joy and despair, all combined. A game, naturally bringing victory to some and e-feat to others, should bring to all a sense of the pride and achievement in playing well.

Happiness wells merrily over when we arc with other people.

Sorrow can be expressed by a slow-wailing voice; happiness may be sensed in the quick rhythm of syncopation in another. A choir uses harmony and dissonance in creating its tone. Each voice is an individual integrated into the section, which must, in turn, be part of the whole. Co-operation and willingness to work arc key qualities in the success of a choir. Music is a heritage; the various expressions and forms which have been evolved through the centuries are ours to sing. This year the Senior Choir chose a chorale by Bach, romantic tunes by Gershwin and Negro spirituals. The Junior Choir has also given performances during chapel, and on special occasions. Singing in a choir or hearing one lifts one from the humdrum of everyday life and into the whimsical, majestic world of music. CHOIR OFFICERS M. Albrecht, K. Hcnrikson, Mrs. Prcus, S. Wright, J.

All that is uplifting and inspiring, all that is saddening— this is part of us, and able to be set down in art forms or portrayed in drama. There are the girls who put the beauty around them into tangible forms. By molding a little clay, or carefully placing a piece of glass in a pattern, or blending one color with another, they reflect what is pleasing or even disagreeable to them. Moods and dreams are recorded in lasting and enduring expressions. The subject material is always present; it need only be interpreted. The rewards of interpreting arc given to the girls in art classes, Fine Arts and studio classes. Drama is also an art expression; its thrill lies in the creation of a new personality. By so doing, something is realized of the success and disappointment, the happiness and tragedy which is woven into every life. The actor is rewarded twice; he takes unto himself something of the character which he has created—he gives to his character part of his own personality and feelings. Those who realize these rewards arc banded together in the group called National Thespians. Drama is for them a monumental form—clastic, yet well-defined . . . changing, yet enduring.

JUNIOR WORLD AFFAIRS CLUB Junior World Affairs brings to mind a group of girls who meet—periodically, chaotically, with gusto and a few giggles—and discuss, at length or only sort-of, the problems in the world around us.

SECONDHAND BOOKSTORE COMMITTEE This noble enterprise makes happy the Juniors, who always seem to be on the lookout for extra income. The girls in charge, Juniors, render the students the convenience of buying and selling used text books. The job entails meticulous bookkeeping and day-to-day count of the books exchanged. At the end of the year, these girls arc rewarded by the cold hard cash which flows into their class treasury, and the knowledge that they have completed a difficult task successfully. LIBRARY COMMITTEE The girls on the Library Committee use their combined talents to assist Mrs. Tcvlin. They sort, file, dust, compute, glue, shelve, and type the year away. Due to their efforts, the usually tranquil library is seldom troubled by stray books, ragged-edged books, or chaotic magazine filing. The users of the library, among whose numbers most of us find ourselves, greatly appreciate their patience and diligence. FRONT ROW: K Lipschultz, M. Pesek, B. Dietz. H. Basker-villc, M. Bean, P.

Senior High School Prose A CHILD S MEMORIES OF WAR Jan Schmidt, XII I was born in 1941. For Americans it was in that year, too, that the second world war was born. I, of course, do not remember that year, nor do I remember clearly the events of the succeeding war years. I have only one impression of those early years made up of fragments of a few remembered moments, and that impression is of a time of waiting, neither tragic nor joyful. The world was holding its breath, but I was a child, and I had some growing to do. I was not acutely aware of the uneasiness of the nation, but even in my small, busy world of childhood, this life into which I had been born seemed unnatural. Living in a world of waiting wives and children, I was inevitably carried along into its hopes and apprehensions, but I never was conscious of it nor cognizant of what it was for which we were waiting. I think now that the waiting of the world reached me only in Father. He was Overseas. I knew him through Mother; I cannot remember what she told my little brother •and me of him, but somehow we shared with her the anticipation of his return. Father was the man, our own, who was inside the brown picture frame on Mother's dresser. Father was the X's and O's that Mother let us write on her letters Overseas. Father was a stranger who sent shell necklaces and blue kimonos and toy trucks. Father was a stranger to my brother and me, but through Mother he and the anticipation of his return were very much a part of life in our pleasant Highland Village apartment. Our family without a father was not unusual in that Highland Village; in the apartments above the courtyard lived only soldiers' young wives and children who were waiting as we were. I had only one playmate who had a father; her father was in the Navy, and he was not Overseas and could occasionally come to see his fami . It seems strange to me now that of the few things I remember of those years I should remember this girl who had her father. I remember a few other things peculiar to those war years. I remember jumping on tin cans on the floor of our narrow kitchen for Mother. I remember our weekly shopping trip with a neighbor to Fort Snelling; we children played under the old wooden barrack steps of the fort's grocery store. We had known few men in our brief lives, and the soldiers at the fort were a novelty. We never spoke to them, but how we would have loved to tell them that our fathers were soldiers, too. I remember the only time I saw my mother cry. It seems to me now that I' must be mistaken in my recollection of the soldiers marching in the street below-; nevertheless, that is how I remember it. The soldiers were marching and Mother, who never cried, was crying. I didn't understand until many years later. The war did end, though I was never conscious of its ending, and our wait was done. Father came home The long day before his return and the w-onderful nigh: of his arrival at the St. Paul depot is the first day in my life of which I have distinct recollections. I remembe the details of the impatient wait of that day which can b compared only to a child's wait on Christmas Eve. Of th night itself I remember everything from Mother's earring to the poem I shyly told my own father as we waited alon together on the long steps of the depot. With that nigh our wait was ended, and my life has never again know the unconscious emptiness and the uncertainty of thos w-ar years. Second Prize. Senior High School Prose THE PIE-EATING CONTEST Pam Sax age. XII In fourth grade, I had a crush on one of my classmates, a young man by the name of David Larson. I hounded his footsteps and pestered him constantly. Dave was always being teased about me although he could hardly bear my sight. The result of this teasing was utter embarrassment on my part and a feelfng somewhat akin to hatred on his. The week before Halloween our class was planning its part in the traditional school program. Actually, as it turned out, I could say that the class was plotting my horrible fate. Before I continue, let me explain how we celebrated Halloween at our grade school. Entertainment was planned for the enjoyment of the children and their parents, but I doubt if my long-suffering parents really got much en- joyment from the bean bag tosses, dart games, and fisi ponds to which I dragged them. The school doors openc at seven, and everyone was expected to be in costume. In the gym were booths selling popcorn balls, caramel apples crazy hats. and. of course, noisemakers by the scores. The gym was packed because the costume judging took place there, and everyone watched that. Elsewhere in the building, movies were shown to cartoon-loving children. The greatest delight of the children was watching the movies backwards. We used to spend hours watching Bugs Bunny and Porky Pig in reverse In the lunchroom, other games were going on. The three-legged race, the pic-eating contest, and the wheelbarrow were held there, as well as bobbing for apples and the 112 p throw. )ur class thoroughly enjoyed embarrassing me in front o Dave. When we were told to vote on a boy and a girl f the pic-eating contest, the class chose us. I knew that tl y liked to embarrass me, but I w’as a logical choice any-v y. At that time my parents would have been willing t. bet I had a hollow leg or a tapeworm. I held the record f r pancakes—twenty-five in twenty minutes flat. When me were chosen I was quite pleased. I could imagine my-s� ,f winning the contest and being congratulated by Dave for my wonderful victory. However, let me say that fate was against me that night. My costume was carefully planned. I had salvaged an old elf-suit, complete with pointed hood and drop seat, from grandmother's attic. Padding, which consisted of pillows and towels, filled out the suit. I was tall for my age and with the addition of my ''stuffing, I appeared perfectly round. To complete my disguise I slipped an old silk stocking over my head and tied it on top. The stocking sufficiently distorted my face to make me unrecognizable. How I wish I had remained thus for the rest of the evening. When the time for the pie-eating contest came, I waddled down to the lunchroom to take my place with the other contestants. 1 removed my stocking mask in order to cat. The pies looked delicious—lemon meringue, my favorite. The judge blindfolded us and tied our hands behind our backs. As I dived (and I do mean dived) into my first pie, 1 could feel meringue oozing down my front. My padding was a real obstacle to any progress. Soon a sticky layer of lemon-filling covered my stomach. As I bent over for a fresh attack, I heard a button give way. I straightened up very quickly as 1 felt a shift in my padding. Because of cold weather, I had worn a pair of bright red long johns under my costume. With padding on back and front, the button holding the drop-seat up popped off. One pillow in a very strategic location had fallen out immediately, and my red underwear was plainly visible. I fled in embarrassment, holding up the drop-seat as best I could around my well-padded self. That Halloween is truly memorable. To my complete mortification, even Dave had noticed what had happened, because the contest ended before my retreat. Dave no longer ignored me; instead, he was the worst of the teasers, who did not forget the incident for several years. I blush to think of my embarrassment. Halloween and lemon meringue pie bring back that memory, too vivid to erase. Honorable Mention. Senior High School Prose REVERIES Julie Vcrccn, XI I pause ... I think ... I dream. Focusing my eyes n an enticing object, it leads my mind on its wander-ngs. Looking into the face of an old fashioned oil amp, I can see an oblong picture of myself just like one ;cts when he looks into the bowl of a silver spoon. In he brass, there's a quaint setting. A miniature bed with a •icy canopy, a floral rug; all are in the glow of the ight and the brass. You can see a window through the unnel of the canopy, giving the effect of a foreboding a e with the safety of a lighted opening in the lar end. rhe cool pinkness of the walls with the laciness of the anopy give a delicate feeling that one gets when he hinks of New Orleans. All this scene is reflected on he brass oil holder. It gives me the feeling that there is an actual fantastical world beyond the surtacc, exempt from reality and the harshness of the real place. I pause ... I think ... I dream. Just as sights influence my thoughts, so do sounds. People talking, motors humming, dogs, birds, radios, all make music. Some people arc musical in the way the)’ talk, in the way they inflect their voice, but mainly in singing, the accepted musical style. This music can, and often does, influence one's moods. We have all grown up with it; thus it has become such a part of us that we hardly realize its importance. What would I do without it? What would anyone do without it? With the crooning of Como or the swing of Sinatra, I want to sing. How can one be against it ? What would movies do without it? How could the suspense be intensified without some eerie measure? What would the Lone Ranger do without the William Tell Overture? It sets moods . . . When the music's buoyant and gay, I want to live, be debonair, to laugh; when it’s somber and sedate, it makes me feel depressed. Look at the patriotism in Sibelius’ Finlandia. It inspired his people and helped them keep their courage. Now they’re free. If anything shows its power and consolance, that does. The last song always stays with you for the rest of the day. Maybe that’s why so much stress is laid on the last goodbyes; the)1 stay with you long after you even remember the meeting. Music can raise your thoughts, distract your purpose, and set you dreaming. It distracts all concentration for some, encourages it for others. Dryden understood its power and effect; maybe someday so will I. I pause ... I think ... I dream . . . Leaves always remind me of fall rather than summer, somehow I feel the beauty of their dying far surpasses the verdancy of their bloom any other time of year. I've never experienced a New England fall, but I can imagine the glow of the colors by comparison to those indigenous to our state. There's something about the combination of their crispness. brittleness, and extreme color, along with their falling. that arouses my sympathy and respect at the same time. Although the dual emotions contradict each other, some- 113 how their falling beauty is adverse to nature. Why doesn't something beautiful last? Why doesn't God preserve a beautiful sunrise over the coolness of a lake, the grace of a mature butterfly, the beauty of autumnal leaves? I've thought about this many times. Then subconsciously I noticed 1 always closed my eyes when I wanted to remember something beautiful. It was spontaneous. When I saw beauty, I wanted to remember it; thus I visualized he object and preserved it forever. Nature won't let t se works of her hand last forever or we would be o :r-run with graceful butterflies, dead leaves, and we w ild miss other beauties; so we remember the breathtak ng loveliness of turning leaves until we experience it agiin next fall.

The solemn pines stopped whispering among themselves as if in respect. The sighing grasses stood at attention. The purple hills round about looked down with a benevolent air of expectancy. They were cast into deep shadow except for their tops, which were painted silver by the moon. The tiny pond, too, was a still pool of silver light seemingly catching the glowing stars in her meshes. It was a scene of black and purple silence, serene as the wisps of clouds disappeared. Even a lonely sentinel on a nearby hill stopped whistling and stood straight, making a black silhouette, tall against the moon. Suddenly a sound of feet thudding in the dust caught his car. He leaned forward, as if to bring the sound closer. It came ever nearer, and the crescent moon reflected off a surface brighter than its own gold. He who watched heard the distinct sound of shuffling in the sand now, and the rustle of heavily brocaded robes. The trappings of the animals gleamed in the soft light. Thin flashing revealed three long shadows sitting straight and tall as the)1 rode their long-legged beasts along the tor- tuous path through the valley. The three shadows swayed together in rhythm to the rolling motion of their animals, until one shadow stirred and said, Yes, I knew it was here. Follow it. They neither saw nor heard anything, but rode ever onward, now disappearing and reappearing in the dips and hollows of the valley floor. The grasses bent their heads as they passed and seemed to watch as the great beasts bore their masters up the rocky ascent and down the hill into the next valley. The figure on the rise stirred and watched them climb, the animals rocking gently. Who arc they? I have never seen them before, he mused. The harness of the last animal gleamed momentarily, and they dropped from sight. The shuffling noise in the sand died and final y ceased. Perhaps I shall ask of them in the villa c tomorrow. ' He turned around, as if to dismiss the n from his mind and called softly into the night. But I s wondering eyes lifted sky-ward, and he watched for a lor ’ time the star that shone just over the hill like a beacon ligl , there to guide all those who would follow. Second Prize. Junior High School Prose MODERN DAY MONSTERS Susan Mithun, VII Monsters of old arc the subjects of many stories. There were dragons that breathed fire and tore down towns. Many kinds of w-ater monsters lived on the bottom of oceans, seas, and lakes. They often destroyed ships and boats and let the people drown. Giant birds or flying monsters had claws as sharp as pins or needles. These terrible monsters would swoop down and life up smaller animals or even houses. Many other kinds of monsters terrorized the people in those days. At times some brave youth, such as Hercules, would try to slay these monsters, but of the few that tried, even fewer succeeded, or even returned alive. How terrible it must have been to live in the days of the monsters! But have you ever thought about ou modern day monsters ? The other day as I was walking along a road, minding my own business, a whole string of monsters came charging toward me. I quickly jumped out of their path, and they went roaring by. These arc a very common type of monster that you see on roads or highways. They have huge wings or tails sticking up in back, and in front they have two big, shiny eyes. A few of these monsters are very big. Others arc quite small. They go so fast that some times you think they will run you down. Not far away I saw another monster, also going very 114 f. . This one had a very long body divided into sections. I nought it was breathing smoke. It went like the wind, n king a clickity-clack sound as it went along its iron path. As I kept on walking, I came to a river. Here I saw n ne of our modern-day water monsters. They were quite b :, and, like the dragon, they blew smoke. One must h ve been sick, because he made a low whistle like a moan. H w frightening it must be for the little rowboats. Just then I heard something in the sky, and when I looked up I saw a flying monster of today. It was going very fast, and it made a loud, roaring noise. As the sun shone on it, a silver)' reflection glistened like a fire. While walking back home, I noticed more monsters. 1 went by a building where they make these horrible things! Some of these creatures arc used on farms to help the farmer. Others arc used to build and tear down buildings, and on road construction jobs. They huff and puff in anger because they arc put to such hard work. Some were so big the)' were really frightening! The main difference between the monsters of old and the monsters of today is that every modern-day monster has some use, and man can usually control the monsters he lives with. Honorable Mention. Junior High School Prose DANCING WITH DAD Marlys Moses, VIII For half an hour, almost every day, my father practices dancing with me. I don't sec how he manages to push me and shove me this way and that, but nevertheless, he does it. Dad still thinks everyone dances the waltz or the foxtrot or the rumba. I'd like to see his face when he goes on a modem dance floor and sec the rock n' rollers rock 'n' rolling. He would probably say that it is stupid, 1 ensclcss and a waste of energy and what is this new generation coming to, anyway? Our lesson usually begins with a fox trot. Stand on your toes, says Dad. Well, you don’t ave to fall all over me. I can't balance on my toes, I shout above the music. That's because you're fat, says Dad. You should go on a diet. I’m not fat. Besides, I hate this stupid dance. All you go is one, two, quick, quick, over and over again. Look over my shoulder, you're supposed to look over my shoulder ’ Dad orders. Well, I have to see what you're thinking, don’t I?” How can you see what I’m thinking? Let's call it quits for today. This is tiring for your old Dad. Personally, I don't sec what's so tiring about stamping the same step around about twenty times, but I guess that's how it is when one gets older. I like dancing in spite of all Dad’s criticism, and even though Dad doesn't know how to rock 'n' roll, I think he's about the best dancer in the world. First Prize. Lower School Prose THE END OF NOEL AND FLAME Ann Overstreet, VI The fireplace glowed invitingly in the beautiful living-i � om. At the opposite side of the room, staring into the l re, was the tall green Christmas tree. He was fully decked out with glass ornaments and silvery tinsel. The iamity was gathered round the door serving cookies to merry carolers. The fireplace and the tree were old friends and addressed each other by their real names. Flame and Noel. Luckily, the family could not hear them chatting. Flame, you look nice tonight. I like your red dress, said Noel. Flame blushed and replied, Well. I agree I do look fine this evening, but sec yourself in the mirror! What a lovely green suit you're wearing! At that moment Jerry, Pat, Kay, and Mr. and Mrs. Williams came back to the living-room, laughing and talking Well, here they come,” Noel said wearily, My, what a nuisance! Oh, well, look how beautifully they have decorated my lovely branches! Oh, Flame retorted, stop bragging. Look at the stockings hung on my forehead. One says Jerry, one Pat, one Kay, one Lem, and one Sally. I don't sec why Mr. and Mrs. Williams couldn't just put Mom and Dad.' That's what they're called. Noel looked on disgustedly, Maybe they didn't want to put Mom' and Dad.’ For goodness sakes, you just aren't thinking tonight! You know, I certainly am popular around this family. Five-year-old Kay murmurs ever)' time she passes me. And look at all my lovely adornments! 115 Why, they spent hours beautifying me! Such a luscious color of green, too. Um-m-m-m-m. You make me sick. I think of my gorgeous hues of red, orange, blues, white, yellow, and ever so many other pretty-colors. Ah, and look at the figures they arranged on my mantel! And a little wooden church and a set of houses, too. They must love me, Flame said proudly. But I'm still more beautiful than you are, and stronger, too, Noel boasted. You're just an old pine scrub, and I could kill you with a touch of my fingers,” Flame shouted, and pointed to the logs that were gaily burning in the fire. No, you couldn't, Flame. My needles hold off anything! Noel almost tipped over in his fury. Ah, thought Flame, here is a poor pine who has not heard of my might. Well, well, well ...” All right, Noel, if you need proof, Fll give it to you, then, Flame laughed. With that, she slowly crept from the fireplace across the lovely living-room, taking care so that the children and parents would have time to run. As she reached out one treacherous finger and touched Noel’s trunk, he instantly burst into flame. No, no,” Noel cried out in agony, I never kn v! Take the fire away! Please! Flame just sat back and laughed as Noel blacke and fell to the floor. Slowly the fire spread across he room. Flame had stopped laughing. She had forgotten tF it, once she had released her power, it was out of her control. Suddenly, she looked around. The beautiful living-room was ruined. Kay was crying from the hall, and Pat and Jerry were trying to comfort her. Mrs. Williams was whimpering and her husband had returned from the kitchen with Flame's only enemy—Water! But now Flame didn't care if she died. She had ruined a family’s Christmas, a wonderful and holy period, over a silly idea to pay back Noel for his bragging when she had done the same. Please hurry and kill me, she thought. I deserve it. At that moment, clear, cold water showered her lovely head and she disappeared forever. But Flame had learned her lesson, and Noel his, and I hope their descendants will always remember it! Second Prize. Lower School Prose THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS Louise Wakefield, VI Once upon a time on a ghostly day in a ghostly year in the Land of Mystery and Misery there lived an unhappy little ghost. This little ghost was the smallest of all the domestic gliosis of the kingdom. He was the only little ghost who had been born a human and because he was such a little villain, as his dear mother used to call him, he was transformed into a ghost instead of a heavenly angel. Every time he thought of this disgusting act tears rolled down his little pink checks and went through his pale white body. All the domestic ghosts scoffed and teased him until he was ready to hide himself behind the dark wall of eternal misery. One night he was speaking to his only friend among the miserable characters that roamed this land. He spoke in a shaky unhappy voice, What day is it. Brother Cat?” That was the general way of speaking to another ghostly creature in the land. Then the Littlest Ghost hastily continued, ' Why I remember, it is the twenty-fourth of December. When I was in the land of time, he pause and muffed a sob, then went on, there was a very jol soul. who. oh yes, we called him Santi—Santa Claus Then he began to recall those joyful Christmas days F had spent. Santa Claus used to deliver presents to a the little deserving children, like me, of course,” F chuckled as he recalled how naughty he had F ecn. Oh. his face turned sober again, how I would like to be in th land of time and have days and nights and mothers an fathers and Christmas, and of course Santa Claus! The Old Cat smiled a very understanding smile, an then it turned to one of his wide thoughtful grins. Why. he began slowly, my mother used to belong to Mr- Santa Claus. I was even one of her kittens, but I was so naughty that I ended up here. That was long ago and forgotten now, he said reluctantly. But, he con sidcrcd, If I could get permission from the Chief Skeleton a d the Head Ghost I might be able to ask my grand-( ildren to send Santa Claus down here to sec you, for t ey have quite overrun Santa Claus' place lately . . . y s, I probably could do that.” He limped off on his stiff I ;� $ and was back in a minute with written permission from both the Chief Skeleton and the Head Ghost. The Littlcst Ghost was rather dazed, but the Old Cat just bustled into his tree stump and whispered some magic words, apparently to his grandchildren. This act was just another good deed for the cat, but for the Littlest Ghost it was the most important happening in his life, whether he knew it or not. For the first time in his life as a ghost he went through Mime water and made himself almost clean. This amazed the other ghosts greatly. Then from the dark sky a light shown down upon the land. It was the first time in many a year that light had shone on the Land of Mystery and Misery. It grew brighter and brighter until it looked like a bright miracle or a soaring comet. The light shone from Santa's gleaming sleigh and his reindeer. The)1 were bringing happiness and good tidings to the dull inhabitants. Santa Claus jumped from his sleigh and his loud chuckle echoed through all the land. I have been keeping track of you, littlcst naughty one, he said to the Littlest Ghost. You have served your six years, six months, six days, six hours, six minutes and six seconds in this land, and it is now' time for you to return to the land of time.” The Littlest Ghost was so happy he could have cried; no, he w-as even too happy to cry. He bade goodby to his only friend, the Old Cat, and thanked him kindly. Then he jumped into Santa's sleigh and they vanished into the night like a shooting star. The cat gazed sadly at the departing sleigh for a few moments but soon turned away, for he realized his place was in the Land of Mystery and Misery, making other little deserving ghosts happy. The Littlest Ghost had left all his sorrows in the Land of Mystery and Misery. Now he w-ould have a real mother and father once more. He loved the land of time and day and night and Christmas, and Santa Claus, for he was going to be a good boy from now on. Honorable Mention.
