“However far back you go in your memory, it is always in some external, active manifestation of yourself that you come across your identity— in the work of your hands, in your family, in other people.' —BORIS PASTERNAK Doctor Zhivago When, later, we look back upon these formative years spent at Northrop, we will be able to single out special persons who have contributed to our development as individuals. However, there is also a group of persons who play an important, yet often unrecognized, role in shaping our ideas. We have l enefited from this group materially to such an extent that we come into daily contact with some contribution that they have made for the purpose of lettering Northrop. Besides being useful, these material things constitute the tangible part of the abstract which we will look back on as Northrop tradition. Ivied brick and panelled walls, symbolic of the then, the now, the next years, are part of our identification with the nuances of meaning which make tradition significant. Our school’s tradition has evolved slowly over a period of years, and we are now having an experience which was largely shaped by those who preceded us. This group is never of static size nor membership, and every year it expands. The kindergarteners in future years, last year’s seniors, and tomorrow's graduates, will all be a part of this group and will contribute to the influence and respect which it commands. It is with deep gratitude for the language laboratory, the Helen Nelson Fund, the Paula Winslow Fund, the Nellie Atwater Fund—the countless visible signs of their support—and most of all for their effort which has made Northrop what it is and, in part, what we shall become, that the 1962 Taller is dedicated to THE ALUMNAE of Northrop Collegiate School
