HELEN RITCHIE NELSON Mrs. Nelson taught first graders at Northrop for nearly twenty ears at two separate periods of her life—before her marriage and after having raised a family. With her very special kind of knowledge and understanding, with unusual skill, she made the introduction to words, numbers, and the world of ideas an or-citing thing for little children. This is no easy thing, but Mrs. Nelson could and did give to her students the lessons which were expected and added to them a subtle training in habits of character—truthfulness, responsibility, kindness for others, and independence. Who can measure the influence of one’s first teacher, but who can deny how great that influence was when the teacher was Helen Nelson? PAULA ANNE WINSLOW “Possessing unpracticed grace, calmness and trustworthiness. Sometimes she carries practicality and logic to extreme. She faces reality with good judgment and common sense, Fun because of her innocence and lovable because she is Paula. 1060 Taller With these few words, her classmates characterized Paula in her senior year at Northrop. Succinct, objective, and affectionate in their summary, these phrases tell much of the kind of person Paula had become. From the time she entered school as a fourth grader, until her graduation from Northrop and enrollment at Briarcliffe, she had the ability to set a goal for berself and to work toward it earnestly and steadfastly. In her class work, and in extracurricular activities—publications, varsity teams, and Creek and Philosophy Clubs— Paula gained our respect for the ability she brought to her work and the calm with which she pursued it. 9
