During the years that the members of our class, the Class of 1965, have been at Northrop, we have aged in years and maturity. We have been grateful to all our high school teachers, who have helped us to prepare for a world which will demand of us wisdom and judgment. Our teachers taught us about life as well as about history and mathematics. But we are mature enough now to realize that we could never have learned the lessons the Upper School had to offer had not our Lower School teachers laid the basic foundation. Their job is a diflicult one. They must develop the students' sensitivity while preparing them for the more difficult tasks ahead. They must find a girl's interests and talents and encourage them. They must remember that the grade- school students have just as many problems and and heartaches as do adults, though they are of a different nature. To be a good grade-school teacher, a person must be both kind and firm. This combination of qualities is found in all of Northrop's Lower School teachers, those of us who entered Northrop in the Lower School now realize how lucky we were. The teacher with perhaps the most diilicult task is the- sixth grade teacher. She must pre- pare her students for the transition from Lower to Upper School. She must make sure that they will be ready for new and greater responsibili- ties. One of Northrop's sixth grade teachers has prepared more than two decades of students for this transition and has prepared them well. Those of our class who attended Northrop in the sixth grade think of her with love and grat- itude, and we will never forget her parting words: I'll miss you all next year, and when I pass you in the halls, give me a cheery smile to let me know you remember me. As a tribute to her many years of service to Northrop and its students, we, the Class of 1965, dedicate the 1965 Taller to jean Gregory Chamberlain.

BARBARA LEE CLIFFORD IN MEMORIAM Those who knew Barbie, even as an acquaintance, were struck by her gracious courteousness, her witty observations, and her com- posed manner, but these characteristics, so hard to define, never wore thin. Barbie was uncomplicated and forthright, and the char- acter she offered the world was the same one, with fewer reserva- tions, that she offered to her family and friends. 8
