Auditorium Front Stairs The third floor was expanded in 1949 when dormer windows were sei in the west roof and a large, multi-purpose room for dining room expansion, FT A meetings, dances and recreation was dedicated as a memorial to Albert Crosby. In the 1957 remodeling program, the Crosby room was made into a new library, and the kitchens and dining room were moved to the ground floor, vacating space fora language laboratory, four classrooms and one study hall. Students were unhappy to see their beloved Purple Cow Room changed into a classroom and to see the charming Swedish dining room turned into the Taller room. The students, however, were recomposed with the installment of a study-lounge on the third floor. Accompanying these changes in the building, there has been from 1957 to 1963 a controlled growth from 274 to 425 students. Northrop has also seen, through the years, a continual enrichment and modernization of curriculum. . Art Room lounge 7
