MISS NOTTBOHM Miss Nottbohm has an exalted, authoritative position as Director of the Upper School, but she treats everyone as individuals. She does not read human nature like a test score. The real trial of her organizing skill comes in the seemingly unsurmountablc task of keeping Northrop’s variegated calendar from dissolving into utter chaos, and she always succeeds. Challenging and prodding, never berating or underestimating, Miss Nottbohm transforms inquisitive souls into true knowledge seekers. The position of Director of the Lower School entails matchless patience, devotion to infinite detail, answering a thousand questions, guiding a hundred young minds. Mrs. Bryan fulfills all of these requirements. Her schedule, hopelessly crammed, includes time to talk to any minorly or majorly distressed lower schooler. Mrs. Bryan injects warmth and individual concern into this enormous job. She quietly, firmly, devotedly leads her little ones in perfect control. Mrs. Bryan’s dignity and ability set her apart as one to be respected and admired. MRS. BRYAN

MISS GRAY Miss Gray is the mainstay of Northrop’s tradition of progress and individuality. Our Headmistress is almost an institution. Miss Gray coordinates all factions and functions into a smooth workable unit. She is always thinking of new-ideas to broaden our liberal tradition. Miss Gray inspires unconditional respect in our small world and beyond. It is not so much her words as her standards and example that guide us. Groping for one word to best describe her, we find “wise.”
