Her earl) leaf's a flower: But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief. So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay. —Robert Frost Life's golden hours flee, almost before our eyes, from the future to the past. Our dreams become memories; we move on—our past becomes but a shadow. Through the years, souvenirs of forgotten times recall to our minds our yesterdays. Our Taller draws together threads of memory to form a golden web of reminiscence. Hoarding the signs, the mementoes, we have spun a web of impressions not to be considered in part, but to be viewed as a whole. Our footsteps echoing through the halls will not fade; our laughter will not die. The golden hue of our hours at Northrop is hard to hold; we have captured and preserved it for the days to come. Our impressions are recorded on these pages to help you draw vivid pictures of the past. Zfiis is our gift to you. J Golden Kook of flours. 3 ;'Dedication Then there were times that were not so golden, the grief of gray-green Mondays, the leaden lag before exams, the gloom when even the silver lining seemed uncertain. But she was always there to listen when we wanted to talk or to talk when we needed to listen. She praised us in our achievements, shared in our excitement, and consoled us in our failures. Her warmth reassured us that the sun would shine once more. And so the Senior Class dedicates the I960 Taller to our friend with a heart of gold, Mary Griffin Saunders 4 7 3 9 13 “forth we went, a gallant band — youth.

Privileged arc we who know you, Learn from you, work for you. You the foundation on which Our school is built— Without you: nothing. Masters in your fields You give from your hearts. You arc the dedicated, receiving not The praise you deserve Tapping mines of gold To enrich our future— Separated from us by your knowledge and experience, Your elevated intellect, your profound thinking. Your brilliant minds— Yet you invite us to sample. You are endeared to us Because you arc you— A combination of teacher and friend Possessing the substance of Angels, idols, mothers, Slavedrivers,—setting goals A little out of our reach To make us aim higher Teaching us a valuable lesson— At times our bitter enemies You arc still our dearest friends— Provoking our anger And at the same time Our ambition. How proud we arc to be commended by you! How eager to hear your thoughts! You arc quick to award the prize to the able, You arc quick to give the slow help and advice, How patient you are With our stupidity, unreasonableness, blindness! You are there with an understanding ear and a guiding hand Curbing the rebellious Teaching the irresponsible responsibility Possessing tact and diplomacy The middle-man between us and the world— Teaching us not only to learn, but to think— Maybe many years distant from now Wc will look back and understand All that you have done for us. Now we are too close And can only half perceive The golden gift Of your giving. 34 JANET M. GRAY, A.B., A.M. Head mi stress LOIS NOTTBOHM, B.S., M.A. ELIZABETH C. BRYAN, A.B., A M.

Before and after. “A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. ” — mic - Proverbs XXV 118 Senior High School Humorous Prose THE DIET Tinker Rogers, XI The bell rings at 2:50 on Friday afternoon, and suddenly you are free, free from the terrible task of creating good excuses why your papers are late and why you don’t have anything but orange blouses to wear with your uniform. No one ever likes to admit that she just happened to use all of her blouses trying to make a rope ladder by which she could sneak out of her upstairs bedroom. Your worries have dissolved, and you decide that the best way to celebrate the arrival of a whole, new, glorious weekend is to run to the nearest drugstore to have a ''Piggy Wiggy Double Super Banana Split. After all, it costs only a dollar and a half. You reach the drugstore and settle yourself comfortably in the nearest booth and for even greater convenience, remove your shoes, tie, and belt. When your great treat has been quickly and quietly devoured and when you have pinned on your coat the new red and blue button that proudly announces in large green letters, I have eaten a whole Piggy Wiggy Double Super Banana Split by Myself, you decide that you had better put on your shoes, tie, and belt before you meet someone you know. Well, the shoes are big enough for your feet, the tie will go around your neck but the belt . . . Now that you think about it. even your full skirts have begun to feel a little tight around the knees. This means only one thing; you have become a wee bit plump! Since you have finished a Piggy Wiggy Double Super Banana Split, the word diet doesn't sound too evil. In fact, this time you are so courageous that you dare say the diet will last a full twenty-four hours! By the time home is reached, hunger pains are beginning. You begin to think. Maybe if you said you were sick and couldn’t possibly come to dinner, living through the meal would not be so difficult. You could recreate the headache that you used for an excuse for not doing your Latin last Tuesday. Well, a headache is as good an excuse as any. The heavenly aromas of chicken and chocolate cake float up to your bedroom. Finally, hours and hours later, the clatter of dishes in the sink tells you the feast is over. But wait! What's that noise? It isn’t the sound of a banana for a banana split being peeled! It can't be! But it is. You now become panicky. Maybe if you locked the bedroom door and threw the key out the window, you wouldn’t be tempted to go down to the kitchen. Well, it is better than nothing. Two or three long hours pass by, during which time you frantically try to remember where you hid that plate of brownies last night. Then the depressing thought occurs. You ate them! At last the house is still. You run to the window and look out. There, twenty feet below, is the key, glistening in the snow, and there is the kitchen with food in the cupboards. If you could only reach it. Then, an idea! The rope ladder that you made from your blouses! It's in the closet! After all. you think as you slide over the sill, dieting isn't healthy for young girls. Honorable Mention, Senior High School Poetry MARCH Barbara Reid, XII The north w'ind blows A heavy curtain over The earth. The grayness grips My dazed heart in its clenched fist While trees Stand stark sentinels Over a barren world of Sidewalks. First Prize. Prose, Grades Mil MY TREE HOUSE Candy Dow, I My tree house is high up in an oak tree in my back yard. There I like to play pirate. My brother Angus looks out to sea through a glass. I pretend that I am another pirate. We sail on our boats and watch the blue sky. Sometimes we eat lunch on our boats. Oh, how much fun it is to be a pirate! Honarable Mention, Prose, Grades IV-VI WHOM I ADMIRE Marlow Brooks, VI As I seated myself between an aunt and a grandmother in the Northrop Auditorium on January twenty-second, to hear the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra play, I had no idea what I was about to hear. Of course, I had gone to the symphony before with my school, but this time I was going to hear a solo at the piano! I was to hear a woman by the name of Ruth Slenczynska play the piano. You may wonder what is so exciting about?. Before Ruth was born, her father had made up his mind that his child would become a famous musician. When Ruth was born, this was his chance. By the time she was sixteen months old, Ruth knew the difference between minor and major chords. She also could hum the tunes of fifty or more themes! When she was three, she was forced to practice eight hours a day! She went to Europe to study, and from the time she was seven, she played in concerts. Ruth could not go to parties, dancing school, or do other things girls her age did. Ruth s father had forbidden her to do these for fear she would neglect practicing. When she was much older, Ruth rebelled against her father and refused to go on with the piano. For twelve long years Ruth did not play a note. Then one day something personal happened that made her want to go back to playing. She did, and took it up as a career. I admire Ruth Slenczynska because, even though she was a child prodigy, she had a very unhappy childhood and it must have taken courage to live with it. Prose, Grades I-III SNOW AND JACK FROST Laurel Weber, II Jack Frost is a little man whom none can see in the night. Not even I can see him. One night he tiptoed to my window and painted a beautitul picture. In the morning I woke up and saw the picture. Do you know what it was? Well, it was a picture of another little elf. 121 Honorable Mention, Prose, Grades IV-VI WHO STOPPED THE TURKISH ARMADA? Bccka Barbatsis, VI One person I admire is Kosmos Barbatsis. He is probably not very well known in different parts of the world, but he did play a very large part in the life of the Greeks. When the Turkish Armada, or fleet, was coming to an island in Greece called Spetsia, a group of Greeks gathered together and tried to decide how to defeat the Turks. The final conclusion was the Kosmos Barbatsis was to go out to sea during the night in a rowboat full of powder,” like dynamite and set the Turkish ships on fire. He did this, and the Turkish Armada turned back. I think this took great courage. Then, the King of Greece came to this island and honored him personally. Today in Greece, on the island of Spetsia, there is a bust of him in a museum and in the palace of the King and Queen of Greece. Second Prize, Prose, Grades IV-VI END OF THE LINE Shelley Witt, VI One day I went fishing with my new rod and reel and a new, unbreakable, nylon line. I rowed to the middle of the lake and started to fish off the bottom. Suddenly, I felt a tug at the end of my line so I reeled in. I pulled and pulled. Then, POP! Out came not a fish but the cork of the lake! Then the water started to go down fast. Before I knew what was happening, there I was in a big mud hole, fish flipping and flapping all around me. I couldn't just sit there and let them die. I had to do something. Then 1 remembered that I had some dry ice pellets cooling my water. I threw them into the air. They hit a low-lying cloud and down came the rain. It poured and poured. Tlie lake filled up in no time. I was happy because I was floating on the lake, and I had two flying fish to carry home that had been knocked down when I threw that ice into the air. Honorable Mention, Prose, Grades IV-VI ELLEN Sheila Thomas, VI I named my story ELLEN because she is the person I most admire. Ellen is our own little cleaning lady standing all of four feet ten. Although she is seventy-three years old, she works six days a week. In the four years that I have known her I have never heard her complain. She sings and smiles all day, and she thinks housework is a very honorable profession. She has worked hard since she was fourteen, and although she has not married, she has saved up enough money to buy her own small house. It would be a better world if evenonc was like Ellen who has so little and is still so happy. Junior High School Imitations HOW THE MOON CAME TO BE Katharine Winston, VIII Kau-Kaut was an old woman with twenty sons. The sons were all strong except for one, Paup-Tua, who was the youngest. While all of Paup-Tua's brothers were hunting for meat for the tribe, he would sit under his favorite tree and cat sugar sweets. His mother tried to make him understand that he was becoming fat and lazy. One day Kau-Kaut said that if Paup-Tua slept through one more hunting party he would surely be banned from the tribe. Paup-Tua's mind was set and he would not go out and hunt when he could get just as much meat if he stayed home and slept. That night thS council met and decided that Paup-Tua would be branded an outlaw and would be hunted down and then shot, but they also decided to give him a chance and let him have a two day headstart. They called for Paup-Tua, and, when he came, they told him what they had decided. They also said that for ever)' hunt that he missed, the)1 would make dents in his face. The next day—they took Paup-Tua and dyed his fat face with white berries. After that they made seventy dents in his white face. After that they gave him a map telling him where to go. Paup-Tua took it and started out on his white bright horse, Polaris. Now Polaris was a strange horse who liked nothing better than to run away with his fat master. Polaris also always ran towards the north. No matter what Paup-Tua wanted him to do, he always ran very fast northward. Usually Polaris's master held him back, but this time Polaris was given his head. He dashed off northward. For twenty-nine and one-half days he ran northward. When he got to the edge of the earth, he took a giganic leap and when he had landed, he threw his fat rider. Polaris galloped on until he almost dropped, and where he stopped you can still see him. Of course, he is in the north. His fat master, when thrown, never stopped. Only his white, sometimes smiling, dented face can be seen. Ever since that day he has been going around the earth searching for his mother. The only change is his name, and that is now THE MOON.

In the winter, when the air became sharp and the snow crackled underfoot, small brown birds would try to fly through the windows from the road to the bird-heaven of icy lace branches in the hollow and on the hill on the other side. It seems to me that all the tragedies occurred when birds tried to fly from the road to that wonderful bird-heaven. Birds coming from the hill and hollow always seemed to survive the shock of hitting the window. In the morning I would often find a little brown body lying stiff and unfeeling in the window box on the road side of the house. At that time I was shaken to see the completeness of defeat, the death of hope and life, which each little bird represented to me. Second Prize, Senior High School Prose ONE NIGHT Joy Flinsch, XI It was dark. It was quiet. The snow was falling fiercely and the wind blew’ it along the street at a terrific pace. It was almost blinding. I could hear only the wind howling across the lake. Nothing else. Then from far away, I heard a screaming noise. As it got closer, it seemed to get higher and higher until I thought it would explode. Suddenly there was the sound of metal hitting wood with a violent crash. I could hear nothing. I sprang to the window. I could sec too small lights shining perpendicularly across the street. The wind was blowing the snow even harder, and in the light from the small foreign car, I could see it swirl and dance in the night. The snow seemed mean and harsh. It came in small flakes and dashed itself to the street, only to be lifted up by the wind and carried aw'ay. It was not the pleasant snow that comes in big, shapeless clumps and falls to the ground and buries the street far beneath. It was not the kind of snow' that makes one think of a little girl in a plaid dress sitting in a window seat, munching on an apple, and watching the snow come lazily down. Nor w'as it the kind that one stares at in rapt fascination out of the study hall window. No, it was none of these. It was cruel and sharp. It came in spurts. It seemed to be evil. Tilings began to happen all at the same moment. Tw’o cars stopped and six or seven men, bundled up tightly against the freezing weather, raced to the small car which was wrapped tightly around the big maple tree. Bracing themselves against the wind and snow' they quickly took off their heavy winter coats and wrapped the driver in them. A man came to the door and told me to call the police, an ambulance, and a doctor. I did. Then I glued my face to the window. The snow flew hard and fast. I watched for a long time, what seemed an eternity. Finally the police came. Two police cars, with big, red, revolving lights on top, were parked in front. Every time I counted to three, a huge, ghastly red circle would swing across the lawn making the flying snow hx)k red, like blood. The doctor came and so did the ambulance. Still the wind blew, the red lights swung across the lawn and the snow came down. It was eerie and suddenly I was afraid. I felt queer inside. I knew the driver had been going too fast. I knew he must have been crazy to go speeding around a lake that turned and curved at every corner. Still I could not understand what happened. I would never know’ who had been in that car. But it made me think. The policemen stayed with the demolished car until the tow truck came and hauled it away. Then he too was gone. The gleaming red light was gone. I could not see except a few snowflakes by the glare of the old-fashioned street light. Then it was dark. It was quiet. Honorable Mention. Senior High School Imitations THE SOUTHERN NORTH STAR Pam Odcndahl, XI The Southern prisons weren't anything to rejoice over. Andersonvillc, like the rest, was no exception. You slept if the bugs didn't bother you, you ate once even,- two or three days, and you existed if you want to call it that. There was one nun in particular that I remember. He was an old Union soldier who had been transferred from one prison to another almost since the war began. He had few possessions and was badly in need of a doctor. He had lost most of his teeth long ago from the food or I should say lack of it, and he was as dirty as death itself. His face showed lines of hardship and the endurance of pain. You wouldn't think that even his own mother could love him Hut that's where you're wrong. He had a son that loved him more than anything in the world, for that's all he had in the world. His mother had died right before the war, and his father was forced to take the boy to war with him. They shared everything together, including their food and their punishment. Christmas finally came. Oh. nothing like the Northern Christmas with the pine trees all decorated with popcorn strings and lights. A few of the men in the prison tried to get a tree, but, with trees as scarce as they were then, all the wood was needed for shelter. The old man wanted to make this a Christmas his son would never forget. He wanted to give him the greatest gift he could. He thought about it for a long time, and he finally came up with an idea. He would set his son free. His son wasn't going to rot in prison, so he began working on the boards at one end of the prison. He could only work during the night. He used an old knife he had traded with one of the men for food. When the knife finally broke, he used old rotten scraps around the prison. This went on for about two weeks. It was finished on Christmas Eve. It was a perfect night —no moon but there was one large star, the North Star. The old man took his son to the wall about midnight. He had just opened the board when the guard awoke. The guard, being nervous and mad because it was Christmas, shot. He hit the old man in the heart. The boy ran and ran, always looking up and not back. The old man accomplished his desire. He gave the greatest gift he could, his life. And 1 know the bo never forgot that Christmas. I was that boy. Honorable Mention, Senior High School Poetry WHITE REVERIE Tcri McCannel, XI It snows. The hard, white minutes race On the wind of c ruel days And rattle on summer's fallen dreams. Ineffectual black tree-hands Lash at the attacking cold. The last, lone fighters in a sullen world. It snows. The soft, fragile minutes Spiral and glide, Covering bitter scars. Softening the)’ drifted past. The world is a huge gray place Muffled in white silence. 125 Honorable Mention, Junior High School Prose A LITTLE SPICE Ann Overstreet, VII It was early, but that didn't matter. My friend Leslie and I had decided to add a little spice” to our lives by having a skate at the lake before school. We wfcre sure it Arould be safe. After all, we'd drawn up plans and everything. We set our alarm clocks for five-thirty, and made breakfast the preceding night. We even slept on top of our beds so that we wouldn't have to make them. It wasn't our love of skating (which didn't exist) that prodded us to do this; it was our love of adventure, our yearning for some change, be it ewer so slight, in the usual routine. You know, wake up, eat breakfast, go to school, come home, do homework, eat dinner, go to bed; it is always the same! So at six-thirty we met, still half asleep, but with still two hours till school started. I must admit, if there was any time I really considered backing out, that was it. But I suppressed my fears and followed Leslie. In five minutes we caught sight of the deserted rink, and a bleaker sight you never saw. The warming house was closed, so with numb hands we tightened our well-worn skates and donned our caps and mittens. After a few minutes of skating boredly around, I had to confess (to myself, of course) that the spice was rather tasteless. Just then Leslie asked nervously, Betsy, do you have a watch? No, I replied, surprised, don't you? Well, I thought you were going to bring it.” So what, we have lots of time. Yes, that’s right. We were both scared stiff, both laboring under the delusion that the other thought we were perfectly nonchalant, and both trying to act like old hands at this sort of thing.” After what seemed like days of this had passed, we both agreed that it must be about time for school to start. So we sauntered home, with remarks few and far between. There was no denying it. We were worried. Minutes later, we sat at our desks, disgraced before the school. We had rushed into chapel, which had already started ten minutes before, and the principal had made us tell the school why we were late. At first, we couldn't imagine why we had to do this. It was not a usual procedure. But when we looked at our uniforms, we realized that our slacks were still on! Let me tell you. that was all the spice we needed for quite some time.

When I was born, my mother was very unhappy, for what should she want with a black sheep? It is nothing to be black, and I knew it well. But what could I do? I was black and I must live with it. One night when I was about two months old, 1 noticed a very bright light in the sky. It was unusual but I soon forgot it. I would guess that it was about an hour later when one of my favorite shepherds came and picked me up. I sort of felt that it was good-bye so I baa-ed very loudly to my mother. She heard me and answered back. I felt from her voice that even though I was a black sheep, she still loved me and was sad at my leaving. Then the shepherd said, Come on, Blackie Boy. We’re going to see the King, the Savior of the Jews. He has come at last. The angels just came and told us. So that is why I saw a light, I thought. We were now almost half-way to Bethlehem. It is very close to my pastures, so 1 have seen it many times. We went to a little stable and there was a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger. I soon found that this was the Savior I had heard about and that I was the shepherd's gift to him. Not many people knew about me, except Mary, Joseph, the shepherd, and little Jesus, but I am sure the shepherd soon forgot. I played an important part in Jesus’ first few years. After that Mary with Jesus in her arms, and Joseph returned me to my pasture where I told the other sheep about my adventures. I was not a black sheep any more.

Sarah May Ochslcim, a thin childish sort of child was just falling asleep when she heard a stamp, stamp at the door. With a feeling that something awful was about to happen, she sat up to have a better view of what was going on. Her father cautiously opened the door, and there two Nazis stood! As the two well-built men came into the room, Sarah's mother ran to her husband and clung to his arm. What can I do for you, sirs?” trembled Father. Is your name Erick Lein Ochshcim? questioned one of the men. Yes, was the meek reply. Captain Odles Homel wants you.” And with that he grabbed Mother and Father and hauled them out, away from the house. Sarah trembled with fright. How ever could she take care of the twins, Adolf and Karen? Finally, she dozed off into a troubled sleep. The next morning, after feeding the children, she answered their question, Where's Mommy and Daddy? Then when they were satisfied by an answer, she sent them off to school. Suddenly, she came to a conclusion. She must get a job. After searching a full day she came upon a store which could use a little help, for the Christmas season was here. She got a daytime job of helping around the gift shop, Socoll's Gift Shop. After five days of this, she was very weary and troubled. Karen and Adolf talked of nothing but Christmas. Luckily she had saved some money from her job. What could she do? What could she get the children? These questions flashed through Sarah's troubled mind. It was Christmas Eve, and almost everything was all right, for the kind people at the store had given her gifts for the twins, and with the saved money, food was gotten. It was almost time for their small celebration. Then, suddenly the doors burst open and there stood Mother and Father! After everything was explained that only the family records were wanted the whole family sat down to Christmas dinner. Oh! Mother, Father! I do not have a present for you! Sarah sobbed. Do not worry, my child, said Father pulling her closer, you have given us the best present of all!” Honorable Mention, Poetry, Grades Four through Six THE CIRCUS Trish Davant The circus will soon be coming to town, With elephants, lions, and ladies in gowns. The colorful tent will go up in a day. What a rollicky, frolicky time, I say. Around in a parade they will all go, With elephants, lions, and maybe a crow. Refreshments are eaten all over the grounds, There is really so much, I think it astounds. I say good-by to the circus people, And to the man who’s tall as a steeple. Soon again the circus will come. With elephants, lions, and maybe a drum. IN MEMORIAM— culled from the files of the SPECTATOR— WHAT’S SO FUNNY Tcri McCannc! Some misguided souls will tr)’ to tell you that the silly-season comes about August along with the dog days and flying saucers, but don't let them kid you. Northrop invented the silly-season, which occurs in mid-November and is brought on by an excess of school and box-elder bugs. After all, let's face it: who but a Northrop girl would think of wearing white anklets over black tights under decrepit tennics or with a hemline several inches above the knee-cap but a slip several inches below? But the silly-season is the time of the year when once-sane uppcr-classwomen may be observed bounding down the hall like slightly eccentric gazelles, staggering around singing 1 Loves You, Porgy in quavering voices, or opening their desks to find them full of our little six-legged friends. (They're not all gone yet, we might add). The faculty begins to stock up on tranquilizers at about the same time. Don't laugh; they need them at times! Though we have generally stopped stuffing unfortunate classmates into wastebaskets, we still play tag on the rooftops, and a few of us still believe in interrupting perfectly good physics classes with requests to draw a vitamin. This is the time of the year when the 8:241 2 A.M. sprint is brought to an acme of perfection, box-elder-bug-squishing records having been filed away for posterity. The combination of Idle-wild Airport, a mad scientist's laboratory, and a junk shop that goes by the engaging name of The Senior Room now goes into high gear, and frustrated figures may be seen along Kenwood Parkway searching for clothing, books, coffee-cups, and ding-bats that have been shoved from the windows. At intervals some hysterical faculty member will hurl herself at the door demanding silence, and it will cease to sound like a United War and resemble a collection of yurds with galloping hipplesnatch. However, the silly season docs have a value of sorts. It teaches us what we can and cannot get away with and which surviving teachers have nerves of steel.
