+FOREWORD
+
+
+School days are joy days; days filled with the pleasures of
+friendships and the gladness of intimacy, with the satisfaction of
+work well done and the pride in having done it for one's school. And
+we at Northrop School have been blessed with such days from the time
+of four entering as kindergarteners, up through grammar school and our
+subsequent joining of the League; on through these last days when, as
+high school girls, we took a real part in the activities of school
+life, and felt ourselves to have each one a share, however small, in
+the great whole, our Alma Mater. And it is to recollection of these
+joys and to the memory of our school days that we of the senior class
+wish to dedicate the 1926 Tatler.

+
+CLASS HISTORY
+
+A shiver ran down my back as the last chords of the Ivy Song were
+played. It was actually a reality--our dream had come true for we were
+at last garbed in those precious white robes for which we had been
+striving for four years. Memories of these years rushed over me. How
+burdened we were with our importance in being Freshmen; Seniors seemed
+very old and distant. Suddenly we slipped from cock robins to
+conscientious Sophomores. By this time rumors were heard of a
+financial problem that we, as Juniors, must meet. Immediately we began
+to save all our pennies in order to startle the Faculty and the
+Seniors of 1925 with a luxurious Junior-Senior ball. So our Sophomore
+year closed with many peeks into the class treasury.
+
+Dancing, fortune telling, freaks, and so on, came to our rescue in
+preparation for the J. S. We Juniors, as financiers, staged a Junior
+carnival--and it was successful.
+
+May the twenty-ninth, in the year of our Lord, one thousand-nine
+hundred and twenty-five, was the red letter day of our Junior year.
+Our hopes, not our fears, were realized. Gayly we danced to "Tea for
+Two" in the green and white decked ballroom (alias the dining room)
+and promenaded in a garden in Japan, otherwise the roof garden.
+Sadly--ah, yes--the music hesitated and then ceased--as we unitedly
+sighed, perhaps with relief, perhaps with weariness. Who knows? Our
+Herculean task had passed, and our eyes were turned to the magnetic
+red ties. Honored beyond recognition we were the first to abide in the
+new Senior room, south-west parallel room 40, on the third floor. June
+quickly slipped near and we fixed our hopes and ambitions on the now
+approaching goal, graduation.
+
+
+
+
+THE CLASS PROPHECY
+
+
+    In nineteen hundred and fifty-six
+    The year of our Lord, A. D.,
+    I sat me down, and put my specs on,
+    An epistle of length to see.
+    And that you may understand this better,
+    I'll herewith disclose the news of the letter:
+
+    "Dear Mike," the writer began, "you know
+    I'm feeling that life is far from slow.
+    As Mary B. Eaton, instructor in war,
+    My military academy's not such a bore;
+    Between drills, and luncheon, and chapel, it seems
+    That this life is not all that it was in my dreams.
+
+    "And Nance, instead of teaching the boys how to ride,
+    Prefers to smuggle them food, and candy beside.
+    By the way, did you know that Virge Leffingwell
+    Has given up art and horses as well?
+    She's opened a school, the dear old scamp,
+    To teach all the young ladies the best ways to vamp.
+
+    "The other day, as I drove in my hack,
+    I passed a familiar figure in black;
+    'Twas irresponsible Lydia, our giggler so jolly,
+    Gone into seclusion to atone for past folly.
+    She lives all alone, without any noise,
+    Without any jazz, and without any boys!
+    She told me with horror and pain in her gaze
+    That Bee had turned actress, in movies (not plays)
+    And that very same week was playing down town
+    With R. Valentino in the 'Countess's Frown.'
+
+    "I didn't tell Lydia, but I thought 'twould be great
+    To go to Bee's movie and see how she'd rate.
+    So I left Lyd and started, and the first thing I met,
+    Or rather bumped into, was a fair suffragette,
+    Covered with signs 'E. Baker for Mayor'.
+    So many there hardly was room
+    To see our progressive young democrat Hume!
+    Yes, 'twas none other than Marion, our businesslike girl;
+    She's adopted the slogan of 'Death to the curl!'
+    And she's canvassing the city, with a terrible row,
+    To get votes for Ely, who's in politics now.
+
+    "And Bernice and Andy, have you heard of their fate?
+    The last thing I know they had each found a mate.
+    One of them's handsome and young, but no money,
+    The other one's rich, but crabby and funny.
+    But each one is happy in marriage, they say;
+    And that's what really counts, say what you may.
+    For Bernice is proud of her good-looking guy,
+    And Andy knows the old man will soon die!
+
+    "Did you see in the paper Mary Brackett's new fad?
+    As Sunday School superintendent I'll bet she's not bad.
+    And, Mike, yesterday on some errands,
+    I encountered another of our old friends.
+    I'd hired a cab because I was tired.
+    I thought the driver was reckless and ought to be fired;
+    So I leaned over to express my opinion, you know,
+    And if it wasn't our Esther, the pedestrian's foe!
+
+    "Did you know Marion MacDonald is engaged again?
+    That makes five times now, oh, woe to the men!
+    Jean's spoken to her now, a couple of times,
+    Of reforming herself, but do you think Marion minds?
+    Jean's slumming committees have had lots of work,
+    Directed by Joey, who won't let them shirk.
+
+    "Well, Mike, how're your orphans, from Johnny to Bill?
+    Are there exactly nine hundred and nine of them still?"
+    And with this, Tony closed, and Ted
+    Henry, Oswald, etcetera, I sent up to bed.

+FRIDAY, THE THIRTEENTH
+
+
+We worked feverishly and hoped that there would be no more disputes
+concerning the chairs. Some thought the ones from the dining room
+ought to be used; others thought not. The chairs were brought down and
+then taken back with much strife along the way. Would anyone want to
+play bridge? We wondered. Would anyone bring cards to play bridge
+with? We wondered again. The fact that wax was being applied to the
+floor caused a good deal of worry, for we were afraid we would fall
+and break our necks if too much was put on. However, even in that
+predicament, we were determined to be gracious and smiling. Did
+everyone know that all the autumn boughs in blue and silver were tied
+on with red string? We fervently hoped they didn't, for we were in no
+condition to do anything about it if they did. Thus our thoughts ran
+as we slammed down tables, tied on table cloths, and practised our
+Spanish dance in uniforms and low heeled shoes. At five-thirty we went
+home, thankful that we didn't have to wash the windows and clean up
+the furnace room.
+
+Much credit must be given to those few guests who realized that the
+gym was supposed to represent a cabaret. We greatly appreciate their
+penetration. They perhaps didn't know that fortune-telling and fishing
+for tin automobiles in the telephone booth were a part of the
+procedure at a cabaret dance. But if they didn't know these things,
+they had much to learn, for that's what they did at our party and who
+were we to spurn their filthy lucre? They also danced and ate heartily
+of the ice cream and cake we served. Many thought the popcorn balls
+were a holdup, but they refrained from throwing them at us when we
+asked ten cents.
+
+An attempt was made at amusement when we gave two dances; one with
+castanets and tambourines and much swirling and swooping; another with
+Spanish shawls draped on us. This latter one was more or less of a
+failure, for we couldn't seem to get into step when we did it a second
+time. The audience, however, applauded, regardless of the fact, and
+didn't see that the dance was any worse than it had been the first
+time. About eleven-thirty it was gently hinted that the time had come
+for the party to break up. We went on aching feet, hoping that since
+the party had been a success financially, the guests were not making
+too many derogatory remarks about it as a social function.
+
+Dawn broke, and blushed to see the sight at Northrop School: packs of
+cards scattered in fifty-two different places, tables every which way,
+covers off, cake and popcorn balls scattered liberally on the floor. A
+few of us came to clean up, and cleaned with many yawns. After a few
+hours the gym began to take on its natural air of bleakness, and we
+left it to the tender mercies of Clyde and Mullen, hoping that the
+Junior-Senior would be a good one.

+GENERAL NEWS
+
+The other day several members of the Sophomore class visited the
+studios of the famous Mesdames Dodginsky and DeBartley, where they
+were told their secret ambitions; and by special permission we have
+been allowed to print them. It appears that Annah Margaret Thresher
+would like to swim the English Channel. Jean Crocker longs to be a
+Professor of Music at Oxford, while Florence Roberts would receive all
+possible degrees at Columbia. Others seem to desire athletic
+professions. Helen Dietz would like to be the Football Coach at the
+"U," Jane Woodward to be the World's Greatest Lightweight Forward, and
+Kate Velie to be on the Olympic Sprinting Team. Mayme Wynne has a
+morbid desire to be a designer of Curious Coiffures in Paris.
+
+
+WEATHER REPORT
+
+By E. B.
+
+The Sophomores suggest a soaking spring if the snow smelts. If it
+rains sufficiently to suit Miss Svenddahl, they forecast dancing in
+the Gym. The spring days will be either cloudy, partly cloudy, or
+clear. It will rain dogs and cats or hail taxicabs, although we may
+have snow, a tornado, a cyclone, a blizzard, a squall, a typhoon, a
+tidal wave, or a forest fire.

+GIANT TRANS-ATLANTIC AIR SHIP DOWNED
+
+(Minneapolis Morning Tribune, June 21, 1932)
+
+
+The giant airship _Coolidge_ was downed last night in a hurricane on
+the Atlantic. A terrific wind arose, which broke one of the huge
+wings. The ship dropped abruptly, and though the captain fired
+distress signals, nothing could possibly have saved the passengers but
+the timely arrival of the _Admiral Sims_, a destroyer, captained by
+Helen Tuttle, and the ship, _The Roosevelt_, captained by Caroline
+Doerr. The two crews worked feverishly, and in less than an hour
+everyone was off the sinking ship. Miss Tuttle and Miss Doerr were the
+heroines of the hour, keeping their heads and directing their crews
+with a coolness equal to any man's. Several Minneapolis people were on
+board. Among them were Miss Carol Hoidale, famous sportswoman, who was
+going to England to be in the Leicestershire horse show; Miss Marion
+Wood, accomplished pianist; and Miss Elizabeth Heegard, a well-known
+actress. Miss Doerr, Miss Tuttle, and these three ladies were
+classmates at Northrop Collegiate School and graduated in 1929.

+THE EIGHTH FORM PRIMER
+
+
+    _Lest the history of our year
+      Through passing time grow dimmer,
+    We've gathered the choicest bits
+      And put them in a primer._
+
+
+    =A= stands for Athletics, Ambition, and Art,
+    Since they're packed full of Action we're glad to take part.
+
+    =B= is for Bumps, got when sliding at noon;
+    We often see stars and sometimes the moon.
+
+    =C= for Captain ball games, two of which we have won,
+    And we all agree they are jolly good fun.
+
+    =D= is le Duc whose French we found charming,
+    But a sky downstairs we think most alarming.
+
+    =E= is for Eighths. What else could it be?
+    Energetic, ecstatic, emphatic are we.
+
+    =F= is Friar Tuck. In our Robin Hood play
+    He was bluff, fat, and hearty in quite the right way.
+
+    =G= for Graham crackers. They're indeed simple fare,
+    But they keep us from getting too much outside air.
+
+    =H= is the Hill, so covered with sleet
+    That when we come down, we can't stay on our feet.
+
+    =I= stands for Icelandic. Though amusing to hear,
+    We think we'll not speak it each day in the year.
+
+    =J= is for Joking. That is our folly
+    For rather than sad we choose to be jolly.
+
+    =K= for Kicker Sleds. They arrived last December
+    And furnished good sport for every class member.
+
+    =L= is for Luther--Burbank we were told,
+    Who started the Protestant reformation of old.
+
+    =M= is the Mascot that brings us our luck,
+    And we surely need him to combat Sevens' pluck.
+
+    =N= for "Noblesse Oblige," our chosen class aim.
+    Though sometimes we slip, we strive on just the same.
+
+    =O= is Old Girls' Party, to which we escorted
+    The whole seventh grade; a gay time was reported.
+
+    =P= is for Pageant we held Columbus Day,
+    To tell how brave sailors to our land made way.
+
+    =Q= for the Quest the whole class did make
+    When told to make rhymes for our Tatler's sake.
+
+    =R= for Radiators to which we all swarm
+    To dry off our stockings and get our toes warm.
+
+    =S= is for Silver, that coupled with blue
+    Is the symbol to which we shall ever be true.
+
+    =T= is for Tourney 'twixt the White and the Gold.
+    But 'tis fought with balls instead of swords bold.

+    =V= for Valentine party, which the seventh form had.
+    Favors, verses, and dancing made our hearts glad.

+SEVENTH FORM EVENTS
+
+
+SPORTS
+
+Early in the fall the sevenths and eighths had a number of baseball
+games. Although the sevenths tried very hard, they were always
+defeated. However, spring is coming, and they may have better luck.
+
+In midwinter when games are indoors, captain ball is the popular
+sport. The two classes always play two games. In the first one the
+sevenths were badly beaten, but in the second they came close to
+victory with a score of 3 to 2.
+
+The winter outdoor fun is on a bumpy, crooked hill back of school used
+for sliding. Down it goes a continuous stream of sleds, toboggans, and
+skis. Sometimes an overloaded sled drops a passenger on the way, and
+sometimes a load lands upside down in a drift, but it's all part of
+the fun.
+
+
+PARTIES
+
+At the beginning of school the seventh form were guests of the eighth
+form at the opening League party. We danced a great deal, and we
+laughed at the Wild West show and the autoride of by-gone days. Then
+we climbed to the top floor for refreshments and more laughing.
+
+On the eleventh of February to return the courtesy, we invited the
+eighths to a valentine party. After decorating our guests with gay
+caps, we danced for a while. The event of the day, however, was the
+valentine boxes. There were three fat ones stuffed with valentines for
+us all. By the time we had exclaimed over them, we were ready to have
+refreshments. Cheers of appreciation ended the party.
+
+
+CHAPEL PROGRAMS
+
+This year we have been visited by both a princess and a duke. The
+princess came from Damascus and gave us an ancient story of her
+city--the story of Naaman the Leper. The duke, who was from France,
+showed us pictures of beautiful old French buildings, which he is
+trying to keep from being destroyed.
+
+Early in March our own class took part in a chapel program by
+demonstrating some lessons in musical appreciation.

+Piping merrily _William_ the _Piper_ floated down the meadow _Brooks_
+seated at the _Helm_ of his boat. Being a _New-man_ in this country he
+stopped to ask his way of a _Miller_. The miller directed him across
+the _Lee_ to a little town called _Goldsborough_. There he stopped at
+the inn of the _Van Nest_. After a good sleep, a shave with his
+_Gillette_, and a hearty meal of _Thomson's_ baked beans and
+_Wagner's_ canned _Pease_, he was much refreshed.
+
+The next morning he continued his wanderings, but unwittingly he
+trespassed on the land of a farmer named _Hineline_, who threatened to
+take him to the village of _Simonton_ and throw him and his _Junk-in_
+jail. Finally he made his peace, but he had to leave his boat behind.
+
+"However, I'm not so unlucky," said he, "for I have stout _Douglas_
+shoes to tramp in, and my faithful dog, _Benjamin_, to bear me
+company."

+
+Dear Janet:
+
+When I received your letter asking me to tell Northrop what her
+alumnae at Smith have been doing this year, I had a sudden sinking
+sensation, since I felt that the achievements accomplished by some of
+us have not been startling. However, upon digging for evidence, I have
+discovered that Northrop need not feel ashamed of us after all.
+
+Dorothy Wilson sings in the Junior choir, is a member of the Smith
+College glee club, and of the Oriental club--one which is connected
+with the Bible department--and has been chosen business manager of the
+Smith College Handbook--"Freshman Bible"--for the class of 1930.
+
+"Pete" McCarthy, also a Junior, who vehemently claimed that she had
+nothing to tell me about herself, I discover is fire captain of her
+house, a member of the French club, and chairman of the spring dance
+committee.
+
+On Washington's Birthday, at the annual rally day performance, Mary
+Truesdell and Lorraine Long, dressed as sailors, with the
+accompaniment of the Mandolin Club, clogged for us in multifarious
+rhythms, ways, and manners--or however one does clog--to the
+astonishment of all of us, who never before dreamed that professional
+talent actually existed in Northampton.
+
+Elizabeth Carpenter is president of her house. As for the rest of us,
+Lucy Winton, Eleanor Cook, and me, all I can venture to say--and they
+agree with me--is that, like the proverbial green freshman, we have
+been plodding along at studies occasionally, and at all other times we
+have been eating, sleeping, or amusing ourselves to the nth degree.
+
+I can't wait to see the new _Tatler_ to find out what you have been
+doing this year.
+
+Please give my love to everyone.
+
+    Very sincerely,

+                                            Massachusetts,
+                                            February 18, 1926.
+
+Dear Margaret Louise:
+
+If I should attempt to tell you everything we are doing here now, I'm
+afraid that I should go far past the limits of my little column, for
+our occupations are so multitudinous and varied that there is hardly
+an end to them.
+
+Right now, notwithstanding the ever present pursuit of the academic,
+the whole college is having the most glorious time hiking over the
+countryside on snowshoes, risking its dignity and perhaps its neck in
+attempting the ski jump on Pageant Field, and "hooking" rides with the
+small village boys on their bob sleds down the long hill on College
+Street. South Hadley is such a tiny town, anyway, that it is just like
+living in the country with lovely mountains all around.
+
+By now Mount Tom and Mount Holyoke are quite like old friends, for
+most of us had a personal interview with one or the other of them when
+we hiked one of the ranges last fall on Mountain Day. Mountain Day, by
+the way, was a red letter day, for the Freshmen particularly. It was
+one of those gorgeous blue October days when we could hardly stand the
+thought of having to be inside, and, almost like a gift from Heaven,
+Miss Woolley unexpectedly announced in morning chapel that she would
+leave it to the students to vote whether they would have their holiday
+then, with its incomplete arrangements, or two days later when it was
+scheduled, with beautifully laid plans but with possible showers. The
+girls were simply bursting with excitement by that time, and the vote
+was carried unanimously. Not one class in prospect for that day, but
+just a chance to start out with a lunch on your back to "parts
+unknown"--oh, it was wonderful!
+
+Another big part of our college social life here in the fall and
+spring is college songs and class serenades. During September and
+October we had one out by the "College Steps" once a week. I shall
+never forget the first time we gathered under a full moon, about nine
+o'clock, and our senior song leader started us off by having us sing
+all the songs we knew about the moon, with the singing of parts much
+encouraged! Even if the harmony was a little doubtful in spots, taken
+as a whole the result was "perfectly heavenly"--to one enthusiastic
+Freshman. Then a few weeks later the Freshmen were called to their
+windows one evening to hear "Sisters, sisters, we sing to you," and
+looking down, we saw the whole Junior class assembled underneath the
+dormitory windows. Then in due time our turn came to "surprise them,"
+but it wasn't, evidently, kept a "deep and dark" secret as we had
+hoped, for at the end of the first song we were literally showered
+with candy kisses hurled down from above.
+
+These are just a few of the kinds of things we do outside our academic
+work; not to mention the picnic breakfasts at "Paradise" in the warm
+weather, sleigh rides or hikes to Old Hadley, a quaint old town near
+here, Winter Carnival, or all the excitement that comes with Junior
+Prom time. Then, you may be sure, the "little sisters" are pressed
+into service!
+
+What I think, however, makes Mount Holyoke mean what it does to us is
+something that is almost impossible to describe, but something that is
+just as real as any phase of our life here--and that is the college
+atmosphere. It is created, in part, by Miss Woolley's wonderful chapel
+services, in part by the sheer beauty of the country in which we live,
+and, lastly, by the fine spirit of the girls themselves, the college
+community.
+
+    Very sincerely,
+        DORIS DOUGLAS, '25.

+To the Editor of the 1926 Tatler:
+
+We who once formed a goodly part of Northrop's illustrious student
+body, but who now attend Vassar College, send our heartiest and most
+affectionate greetings, to the pupils, the faculty, the trustees, and
+Miss Carse!
+
+In the first part of the year, when those of us who are Freshmen were
+busying ourselves with getting adjusted to our new environment, new
+studies, and new acquaintances, we had no time to reflect on our past
+activities. But now that we have become acclimated, we take great joy
+in remembering our years spent at Northrop, and realize, more and
+more, all that she did for us. We owe our present life and
+opportunities to Northrop's splendid teaching and background. The
+Northrop League gave us a moral background which we shall never lose.
+Our companionship with each other gave us friendships which can never
+be lost, even though we may be separated.
+
+Northrop Alumnae who are Sophomores and the five who are holding up
+the honor of Vassar's class of '26, still feel Northrop's influence
+very strongly, and are forever singing her praises. They feel that the
+training in concentration and in well-divided time received at
+Northrop has proved invaluable throughout their college course.
+
+The large number of us here at Vassar, set aside as "Northrop girls"
+feel that we have a great responsibility resting on us. We have a
+standard to live up to, a standard caused by the good name sent out
+into the world by Northrop. May we live up to that name, may we carry
+on the standard of Northrop School.

+THE NORTHROP LEAGUE
+
+It hardly seems necessary in this, the sixth year of the League's
+existence, to explain its purpose. I think it is sufficient to say
+that the League is an organization which, under Miss Carse's
+sympathetic guidance, has come to control the student activities of
+the high school and the seventh and the eighth grades. It is true, of
+course, that the League is governed by its officers, but the League
+itself is what the large body of the girls make it. The pledge, an
+expression of its standards, seeks to hold each girl to a high sense
+of honor, loyalty, and self-improvement. This, briefly, is the
+purpose. As nearer perfection is reached, in the struggle for this
+goal, the League gains in power. Thus it is that the League is the
+result of the effort of every member.

+Report of League Treasurer Given at the Parents' and Teachers' Dinner
+
+
+Should any girl of Northrop wish to prepare herself for a position
+that has to do with the handling of money, I should advise her to
+begin campaigning by lobbying for the office of Treasurer of the
+Northrop League. However, the reputation of the detailed work of this
+office is such that there are few who are ever over-anxious to receive
+it. This was my feeling at first, but now when I realize how much I
+already know about making out checks, keeping accounts, and the
+intricacies of banking, I feel it is all worth while. By Commencement
+I shouldn't be surprised if I could fill the important position of
+messenger in a bank.
+
+The first thing that comes up at the beginning of each year is the
+collection of the annual League dues, which are two dollars and fifty
+cents. A total amount of about three hundred dollars was handed in
+this year. This is put under the "operating fund," and takes care of
+all the League expenditures, except those of the Welfare Committee.
+
+There are four departments of student activities drawing from these
+League dues, athletic, entertainment, and printing and stationery.
+Also, this year the League voted to back the Tatler board up with one
+hundred dollars. At the first council meeting of the year a budget is
+made out for the different committees of the League. This budget is
+based on the expenditures of that committee for the preceding year.
+Until nineteen twenty-five, the Welfare work was taken care of by
+collections running through the year as the various needs arose. This
+year a new system was adopted, which took care of everything at one
+time. We foresaw a need of money for the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and
+Community Funds, for the Near East Relief, and the French Orphans;
+therefore slips were given to each girl with these different needs
+listed. She was expected to put an amount after each, which amount she
+pledged to pay in cash or in deferred payments. So far eight hundred
+and twelve dollars of the nine hundred and two dollars and thirteen
+cents pledged has been handed in. This plan is much more systematic,
+and saves the trouble of conducting so many drives.
+
+All money transactions of classes and committees whether receipts or
+expenditures go through the hands of the League treasurer. A system of
+books is maintained. Each class and committee keeps its own accounts.
+Then the League treasurer has a large cash book in which she also
+keeps all the receipts and disbursements of the classes and
+committees. At the end of each month the balances are put in a
+simplified ledger. It is from this that the monthly and annual reports
+are made. When a bill is received, it is paid only by the League
+treasurer after it has been OK'd by the chairman of the committee
+responsible for it. When money is handed in, a receipt is given to the
+bearer. At the end of each month the books are balanced and checked
+with the bank statement. Also the check book is verified with the bank
+balance.
+
+Although the League treasurer is custodian of the class funds, each
+class has a treasurer who keeps her own accounts. The classes have
+their own dues to pay for all their expenditures. At the end of each
+month, after the class treasurer has balanced her book, it is checked
+over with the accounts of the League treasurer for that class to see
+if they agree.
+
+A checking account is kept at the Northwestern National Bank and the
+savings' account at the Farmers and Mechanics Bank. We have had almost
+three hundred dollars in the savings account, but two hundred dollars,
+which is last year's League gift to the school, has just been
+withdrawn and added to the Chapel Fund.
+
+The duties of a treasurer are not over until she has passed to her
+successor what she has learned during her treasurership and has
+changed the accounts to the new girl's name. After this has been done,
+the retiring treasurer is released and must seek new fields in which
+to carry on. In case a former Northrop League treasurer ever applies
+to any of you for a position, just remember the "big" business in
+which she began her training.

+NORTHROP LEAGUE WELFARE BUDGET
+
+    NEAR EAST RELIEF
+    1926 FRENCH ORPHAN
+    COMMUNITY FUND
+    THANKSGIVING FUND
+    CHRISTMAS FUND
+    EMERGENCY FUND
+
+
+This year, when Community Fund interests brought to our attention the
+need of school collections, of which the Community Fund is but one, we
+thought to have a single large drive instead of several small drives.
+
+We called in the expert opinion of one who had long worked in social
+agencies, and worked out a scheme and a budget for one drive covering
+all our needs. This plan was presented to the League Council and met
+with approval.
+
+Sheets containing lists of the various funds for which money was to be
+collected, were given to the pupils to take home for conference with
+their parents. If a girl wished to give to any one of the various
+funds, she was to mark down that amount, also putting down the date of
+payment (any time until February 1); or else the money might be sent
+right back with the pledges. In this way we tried to make the idea of
+voluntary subscription the whole basis of our plan.
+
+The total amount of the entire drive, both pledged and paid, is
+$902.13, out of which $359.58 was paid in full to the Community Fund.
+The total of the Thanksgiving Fund was $166.10, out of which $106.23
+was paid for Thanksgiving baskets which were filled with good,
+substantial food, and were delivered by a number of the girls, each
+group accompanied by an older person, to eighteen needy families. The
+Christmas fund total reached the sum of $180.70. From this, we gave
+$75.00 as gifts to the house-staff. The Emergency Fund amounted to
+$151.25. From this, we gave $36.00 to help support a French orphan for
+whose care we are responsible.
+
+There is also an unapportioned fund. A number of pledges were returned
+with only the total amount marked down, none of which was divided
+among the funds. These amounts were put down under the unapportioned
+fund. From this sum, we drew $30.00 for the Near East Relief. In
+addition to all this, we are having a continuous drive for old clothes
+which we place where most needed.
+
+After the various distributions were made, we found that our book
+balanced with that of the League treasurer.
+
+Handling a situation of this sort has been an interesting task, and I
+think that we all have greatly profited by the experience, and believe
+that it has been a preparation for future service to the Community.

+
+The Junior-Senior Dance, 1925
+
+
+On Friday morning, May 29, 1925, each Junior awoke with the entire
+responsibility of the Junior-Senior dance on her shoulders. Ten
+o'clock found some of the class in an effort to carry out the green
+and white color scheme, robbing the neighbors' bridal wreath hedges of
+all their glory. Returning to school they wound the blossoming sprays
+in and out of a white lattice work, which a few of their industrious
+class mates had made to cover the radiators in the dining room. They
+then hung green and white balloons in clusters from the side lights.
+While this was being done, others were converting nice-looking
+automobiles into furniture vans. The furniture was arranged on the
+roof garden, over which Japanese lanterns were hung.
+
+Having finished these tasks, we had by no means completed our work.
+The supper tables next occupied our attention. These we arranged in
+the side hall. Centering each was a miniature white May pole wound
+with green and white streamers. The appearance was festive indeed.
+
+After the lapse of a few hours the weary Juniors returned to welcome
+their guests, the Seniors.... As the clock struck twelve, the music
+ceased, the building resumed its former tranquility, and the happy
+guests filed home.

+
+
+We Entertain Summit School
+
+
+Every year Northrop and Summit schools come together at one place or
+the other for an informal party. This year, it being our pleasure to
+entertain the Summit girls, we looked forward to the occasion as one
+of our most enjoyable events.
+
+We departed from the usual form of entertainment in presenting the
+French play "Le Voyage de Monsieur Perrichon." Although probably not
+every one in the audience understood all the speeches, the play went
+off well, for the plot is such that it is easily comprehended through
+the acting; also to aid the audience a short synopsis was read in
+English before the curtain rose, by Shirley Woodward, who looked the
+part of a dashing French soldier.
+
+The roles of that amusing pair, Monsieur and Madam Perrichon, were
+taken by Betty Long and Barbara Bailey. Henriette, their daughter, was
+portrayed by Anne Healy, and the two charming lovers, Daniel and
+Armand, by Dorothy Sweet and Janet Morrison.
+
+An additional feature of the program was provided by the faculty
+sextet, in the form of several pleasing songs. After the play, the
+faculties of both schools had refreshments upstairs, and dancing
+followed in the gymnasium.

+La Visite Du Duc De Trevise
+
+
+[Illustration: {A large group of students outdoors with the visitor}]
+
+Le huit mars nous fumes tres heureuses d'avoir avec nous le Duc de
+Trevise. Comme Mlle. Carse etait dans l'est, Mlle. Bagier le presenta.
+Il fit une conference des plus interessantes sur la reconstruction de
+l'ancienne architecture de la France, accompagnee de projections
+charmantes de son sujet. Il expliqua de son ravissant accent francais,
+les degats qu'on fait aux beaux edifices du moyen age. Il nous soumit
+le projet de son organisation pour conserver divers anciens chateaux,
+aux villages differents de la France pour chaque ville americaine qui
+aura approprie de l'argent pour cette cause, donnant ainsi le moyen
+aux citoyens de chaque ville d'avoir un logis quand ils visiteront le
+village ou la ville dans lesquels leur chateau particulier se trouve.
+L'argent qu'on a deja donne a fait beaucoup pour avancer le travail de
+la reconstruction. Nous fumes charmees de decouvrir que, quand il
+retombait dans sa langue natale, nous pumes avec peu de difficulte le
+comprendre. Apres que la derniere projection eut ete montree, le Duc
+voulut beaucoup une photographie des eleves de Northrop School. En
+consequence nous nous assemblames au cote sud de l'ecole ou Mlle.
+Bagier fit deux photographies des jeunes filles avec leur ami
+nouveau-trouve. Comme cela fut une grande occasion pour les plus
+jeunes filles, elles demanderent a grands cris des autographes que le
+Duc leur donna avec bonte. Ensuite on nous rappela a nos lecons qui
+nous semblerent plus tristes que d'ordinaire par contraste avec
+l'heure tres interessante que nous venions de passer avec le Duc.
+
+
+
+
+The Princess Rahme Haider
+
+
+It would seem that the good angels were plotting in favor of Northrop
+School, for this year we have had one delightful entertainment after
+another. Foremost among these events was a visit from the Syrian
+princess Rahme Haider and her charming companion Miss Burgess, who
+gave us a fascinating dramatic reading from the Bible. The entire
+school was held spellbound by the art of the princess, who made a very
+artistic appearance in her Oriental garb and had a charming
+personality. Princess Rahme Haider most assuredly gave us one of the
+most interesting and profitable programs of the year.

+    GRACE HELEN STUART.

+
+HOCKEY
+
+
+This year a new regulation in regard to hockey practise was
+introduced. The girls were required to report twice a week instead of
+once, one of these days being given to stick practise.
+
+The first game of the season was played on November ninth between the
+Seniors and the Sophomores. It was a very close one resulting in a one
+to one tie. On the next day, November tenth, the Juniors beat the
+Freshmen by a score of five to nothing. The game on November second
+resulted in another tie; this time a scoreless one between the Seniors
+and the Freshmen, which was most unsatisfactory to both teams. On
+November sixteenth the Senior-Junior game was played which the Juniors
+won six to nothing. On the eighteenth the Sophomores won from the
+Freshmen eight to nothing, and on the next day the game between the
+Juniors and the Sophomores was played. As no one had crossed the
+Juniors' goal since the beginning of the '24 season there was a great
+deal of interest in the game. It was an exceedingly hard contest, two
+girls being more or less knocked out during the game, but the
+Sophomores won by a score of three to nothing.
+
+We were fortunate this season in having the weather remain so that we
+were able to play all the games on the schedule.
+
+
+
+
+The Riding Contest
+
+
+The annual riding contest was held on the Parade Grounds, Friday,
+October 16, Mlle. Bagier and Betty Fowler acting as managers. Although
+it was a cold and wintry day, a large crowd turned out. Dr. E. W.
+Berg, Mr. L. McFall, and Mr. William Hindle were the judges, and the
+Misses Anderson acted as ring mistresses. Everything went off very
+smoothly, beginning with the Junior Cup Class, followed by the Senior
+Cup Class, the Pony Class, and ending with Five Gaited Class. After
+the contest, tea was served in the gymnasium, where the awards were
+given out. The Junior Cup went to Ruth Clark; the Pony Cup, to
+Virginia Leffingwell; the Five Gaited Cup to Betty Fowler; and the
+much desired Senior Cup to Mary Louise Sudduth.
+
+
+
+
+Base Ball and Captain Ball
+
+
+On the fall the Sevenths and Eighths had several baseball games. They
+were very exciting in spite of the fact that the Eighths always won by
+a generous margin. However the Sevenths took the defeats so well that
+no one could call them "poor losers." After the snow came, captain
+ball began. The two match games were very interesting. The score of
+the first was 10-2 in the Eighths' favor, and of the second was 8-7,
+the same side being victorious. Then came the Gold and White games,
+both of which the Whites won. It was hard, but it was fun, to play
+against a girl that one had previously played with as a partner. These
+games brought out such good sportsmanship that we all enjoyed them.
+

+
+
+
+BASKETBALL
+
+
+The basketball season opened with much enthusiasm as soon as school
+began after the Christmas vacation. The attendance at practices was
+especially good this year, and the members of every class reported
+regularly. In order to arouse some spirit, each class distributed its
+colors among its rooters, and there was much competition between the
+classes in finding original yells. As a result of these efforts the
+crowds at the games were exceptionally good, much larger than in
+previous years. The Sophomore-Junior game, the first of the season,
+was won by the Juniors after a hard fight. The next two games were the
+Sophomore-Freshman and the Senior-Sophomore, which were both won by
+the Sophomores. The Juniors then played the Freshmen and were
+victorious. The Senior-Freshman game, one of the most exciting of the
+season, ended in a tie, much to the disappointment of both sides. The
+Seniors in their last game at Northrop played the Juniors and won. As
+a result of these games, the Juniors and Sophomores were competitors
+in the tournament.
+
+The girls worked hard to make the gymnasium look suitable for the
+occasion and were rewarded for their efforts, for cheering and
+enthusiastic crowds filled the gym. The best yelling of the evening,
+however, was done by the Sophomores, who nearly raised the roof with
+their snappy and well-led cheers. Their serious and well performed
+stunt of forming and singing, contrasted with the ridiculous showing
+of the Juniors made on tricycles. After the stunts, the game began and
+certainly proved to be a close one. Although the Juniors were behind
+during a good part of the game, they finally won by a score of 11-8.
+The tournament closed the inter-class games and those of the Gold and
+White teams began.
+
+In order that more girls might take part in the games, the upper
+school had been divided into two large teams called the Gold and
+White. These teams were in turn subdivided into basketball teams, and
+many games were played between these teams. Although the audiences
+were not all that might be desired the plan can be called a success
+since it interested more girls in the game. The White team won the
+first two games and the Gold the next two; therefore the final game
+between the two "A" teams would decide whether the Gold or the White
+team would win the basketball series. The game was won by the Gold
+team, 11-8. This game ended the basketball season, which has been an
+unusually good one.
+
+
+
+
+    I strive to wring from my unwilling pen
+    A sonnet,--and all ordered thoughts pass by;
+    Light as a swirl of mist, too soon they fly
+    For my poor wits to capture them again.
+    O sonnet unattained! For other men
+    So easy to attain, but it is I
+    Who struggle, and for me all goes awry,--
+    My efforts fond go unrequited then.
+    "Why, surely it is but a trifle, this,"
+    They cry amazed, in sweet unknowing bliss.
+    A trifle, yes, for Shelley or for Blake,
+    They had not many extra marks at stake;
+    I toil in vain toward a retarding goal,--
+    I fear the poet's part is not my role.

+
+
+Gardens I Have Read About
+
+
+Books are the means by which one may travel without moving. It is
+through the medium of a book that I was able to visit a garden in
+Italy. It happened to be a garden that was typically Italian and a
+very charming one. The entrance was through a vine-covered Tuscan arch
+at the side of a villa, and down several steps to a wide terrace. The
+sun was beating down outside, but inside this walled garden all was
+cool and refreshing. At one's feet were clumps of darkest green ferns,
+like miniature forests. At the bottom of the terrace there was a
+terracotta pool, where water flowers were drifting on their flat green
+pads. Around the edge of this pool and through an aisle of tiny
+fragrant pink rose bushes was a space enclosed on three sides by
+feathery greens. Here a laughing satyr was perched on the top of a
+fountain, spouting water in a silvery arc. Through a shaded avenue
+could be seen other secluded spots with marble benches in front of
+other fountains. In another direction was a grotto where water
+trickled down gray, moss-covered stones. Far in the distance were
+cypress trees waving their spear-like tops and standing guard over the
+coolness and beauty of the garden.
+
+Very different from this is the sunny English garden that next I
+visited. It, too, was terraced and had fountains, but the water in
+these fountains sparkled in the sun, and the cool dampness of the
+Italian garden was lacking. On the terrace were occasional
+closely-trimmed yew trees, or box trees clipped in odd shapes. A
+curving walk, edged with laurel, led to the ivy-walled inner garden.
+Here, in the full sun and warmth, grew, not the delicate rose bush of
+my Italian garden, but sturdy, bold rose trees, and apple trees, above
+snowdrops, daffodils, and crocuses in round, oblong, and square beds.
+These had trimmed herbaceous borders, and gray flag walks lay between
+them. Beyond towered great elms, but even these did not shut out any
+of the sun, which reached the foxgloves and violets, transplanted from
+the moor to the corner of the wall.
+
+Here in America, though I have never been East, I know I should feel
+at home in a New England garden. My entire knowledge of them has been
+gained from books, but I am sure, from what I have read that these
+gardens are quite as charming as the more formal ones of other lands.
+Separated from the street by either a white picket fence or a row of
+lilac bushes, grow in their seasons nasturtiums, pinks, larkspur,
+mignonette, sweet peas, and forget-me-nots, in neat rows. All these
+are in such profusion that one sees only the glorious general effect
+and fails to notice that the garden has been planted with total
+disregard to the blending of colors. At the back, against the fence,
+tall sun flowers flaunt themselves, while in front are clumps of
+gorgeous peonies, and at the side beds of fragrant mint.
+
+All these gardens I think of when spring comes, and my yearly
+gardening fever seizes me. But at the end of two months, when my
+radishes go to seed before attaining edible size, and those of my
+flowers that are not choked by weeds have been dug up by other members
+of the family, I go back to the dream gardens in my books.
+

+
+
+
+DIXIE
+
+
+An old man, ragged, but with an air of dignity, quickly glanced at his
+stop watch as a small figure, crouched over a shining black neck, shot
+by. With a thunder of hoofs the black horse whirled past and fought
+for her head down the stretch. She would win the following
+Saturday--she must! If she didn't then she too would have to go and
+leave the ruined old gentleman, who looked so feeble leaning over the
+white rail which enclosed the mile track. After much coaxing the black
+colt came mincing up to her old master.
+
+The small colored boy, as black as his mount, was bubbling over with
+enthusiasm. "Dat dehby, Suh, is going to be won by ma Dixie," patting
+the curved neck of the horse.
+
+The old gentleman looked up. "Mah boy, you must remembah that Dixie
+will have otheah good hawses to beat. Vixen is the favohite and very
+fast, although Ah know mah little black friend heah will do heh best
+to honah the purple and white," glancing proudly at the headband of
+the black marvel. "Next Satahday will decide it all."
+
+A shadow fell across the colt. Looking up, the gentleman, known as
+Colonel Fairfax, saw a man dressed in a checkered suit and orange
+socks. On a tie to match was a monstrous, well polished diamond, which
+sparkled wickedly in the sun. The man stood staring at the stop-watch.
+"Ah beg yoh pahdon, Suh, but theh anything Ah could do foah you?"
+
+The man, hearing the question, looked up, flushing. "Youh horse is a
+Derby entry?"
+
+Colonel Fairfax eyed the horse reflectively and answered, "It all
+depends on her condition, and only time can answeh that." The man
+hurried away, leaving the old gentleman looking after him, a deep
+frown on his face.
+
+"Washington, Ah am a bit doubtful about this new-uh-acquaintance," he
+addressed the exercise boy.
+
+Each day, no matter how early Dixie was given her exercise, the
+stranger was to be seen loitering in the distance or walking briskly
+beside the track--seemingly deep in thought. His presence seemed to
+trouble the Colonel, who watched his colt anxiously.
+
+At last, the final workout. Colonel Fairfax and the unwelcome stranger
+leaned over the rail, intently watching the black horse, which
+appeared to have wings. The stranger, who had been seen talking to the
+owner of Vixen, the favorite, annoyed the old gentleman; he was
+suspicious of this flashily dressed man and did not conceal his
+feelings.
+
+Sundown, Friday, found the stable at Churchill Downs buzzing with
+excitement. The favorite's stall was surrounded by interested old
+racing men, who loved the thoroughbred and his sport, while a few
+individuals in gaily checkered suits crowded about, listening to the
+many "hunches" for business reasons only. An old man sat before Stall
+No. 7. Glancing up, he noticed two men peering in at Dixie. One was
+the man who had seemed so much interested in the mare's trial gallops.
+Through the half-open door of the box stall could be seen a horse in
+faded purple and white blankets. After a hurried conversation the two
+men passed on to the favorite's stall, where they smiled at the
+jockey, looked in, and walked on.
+
+Long after the one-thirty special night train had whistled at the
+Downs crossing, a dark figure could be seen sliding along the stall
+doors--"Ten--Nine--; Eight--" Then it came to halt before Stall No. 7,
+and slipped through the door. It felt in the dark for the blanketed
+horse's neck. The horse jumped as a dagger-like needle was thrust into
+its neck. The colored boy, in a drugged sleep at the door of the
+stall, stirred in his dreams, but was still again. The door opened
+quietly, and the figure slipped out, leaving the horse in No. 7
+leaning drunkenly against the side wall. A shaft of moonlight fell
+across the intruder's face, revealing the same man who had attended
+all of Dixie's trial gallops. Little did this unscrupulous person
+realize that the black mare was spending the night in an old deserted
+barn near the race track, guarded by an old gentleman whose mouth was
+twisted into a whimsical smile, while a "guaranteed-to-be-gentle"
+livery horse was leading a life of luxury that evening in Stall No. 7,
+Churchill Downs.
+
+Derby day at Churchill Downs! Kentucky was doing homage to the
+thoroughbred. As the band played "Dixie," the Derby entries filed
+through the paddock onto the field. Proudly leading the string of the
+country's best two year olds, was the song's namesake, a true daughter
+of the South. With arching neck and prancing feet, Dixie, the pride of
+an old man's heart, took her place at the barrier. Her jockey looked
+up as he passed an aristocratic old gentleman, dressed in a faded coat
+which reminded one of "befoah de Wah" days and whose hat remained off
+while the horses passed.
+
+The barrier was up, and the roar shook the grandstand. "They're off!!"
+The favorite, Vixen, shot ahead and seemed to be making a runaway
+race. Cheer after cheer rent the air. An old man clasped his program a
+little tighter and breathed a prayer. Around the turn came Vixen, but
+not alone. Crouched to the ground, a small black horse crept up to the
+flying tail of the favorite. Down the stretch the two thundered,
+fighting for supremacy. "Foah Kentucky, Dixie, and the honah of the
+purple and white!" As if she heard this plea from her master, Dixie
+bent lower. Then, her black nose thrust ahead, more than a length in
+advance of Vixen, she flashed under the wire, bringing "honah" to the
+purple and white.

+
+MY BUREAU DRAWERS
+
+
+My bureau drawers,--I wonder what their contents could tell! Whenever
+I go through them with the firm resolve to clear out everything that I
+do not actually use, I always end by saving some things just for the
+sake of the memories connected with them.
+
+Take that pink satin hair ribbon, for instance. I wore it for the
+first time with a new pink dress at a party in California. It brings
+back all the thought of California as I first saw it in nineteen
+twenty, memories of stately and haughty poinsettias, of date palms
+from which one could pick and eat fresh dates, of a dancing ocean with
+its myriads of lovely sea creatures, and its gaily-colored beach
+equipment, of an amusement park with the roller coaster on which I
+nearly had heart failure.
+
+Then, in another corner, lies a string of green beads. What could
+better recall to my mind the night of my graduation from the grade
+school? The recollection makes me want to be in grade school once
+more. I well remember how one of my classmates forgot to bring the
+music to the class song which was to have been one of the attractions
+of the program. Disaster marked that evening farther when a tall
+Danish boy, looking the picture of selfconsciousness and misery, arose
+to give the farewell address. As nearly as I can remember, it ran
+thus:
+
+"Ladies and gentlemen, on the evening of our graduation ve vish to
+tank de teachers and also de principal for de vork"--a long awkward
+pause--"ve vish to tank de teachers and also de principal for de
+vork"--a still longer pause, interspersed with rising giggles from the
+graduating class--"Ladies and gentlemen, ve vish to tank de teachers
+and also de principal for de vork vich they have done in getting us
+trough."
+
+Then, there at the back of the drawer, is a black satin sash. It
+brings to my mind an entirely different kind of memory. It is one
+thing that I have left from the dress I wore at my grandfather's
+funeral. I remember all the tragedy of the occasion, lightened by one
+spot of comedy, my grandmother's losing her petticoat.
+
+I dare say that some day I shall throw away these things that others
+consider rubbish, but I shall never part with the memories for which
+they stand.

+A SURPRISE
+
+
+It was early in the morning when Nancy Nelson awoke. She got up and
+put on her wrapper and one slipper, as she couldn't get the other one
+on, though she tried hard. "Ah," she said, "there must be something in
+my slipper." So Nancy felt in her slipper and then pulled out her
+hand. Why, there was a little package! "Who put it in there, I
+wonder," she said, quite surprised. Nancy asked everybody in the
+house. Then her mother said, "Nancy, did you forget that it is your
+birthday?" Then she opened the little package and found a small silver
+thimble, with the name "Nancy Nelson" on it.

+THE DEPARTURE AND THE RETURN OF THE SHIP
+
+
+It was a clear, warm day in late spring and a ship was leaving the
+harbor, its departure accompanied by a merry clanking of chains as the
+anchor was drawn up. The lusty cheers of the sailors floated back in
+echoes. The shore was crowded with the wives and sweethearts of these
+two hundred sailors, their brightly colored gowns and fluttering
+handkerchiefs making a lovely picture against the background of the
+green cliffs. On board the men were singing lustily as they performed
+their tasks and the last echo of their happiness floated back clearly
+to the little group on the shore as the ship dropped below the hill
+and out of sight. The women had already settled down to their period
+of watchful waiting and were trusting the safety of their loved ones
+to God, who had always protected them and brought them home safely
+before.
+
+It was a clear, crisp night in late October and the moon was sending
+its silvery beams out over the quiet waters. Everything was pervaded
+by an air of mystery. Slowly, from far out at sea, a great ship came
+slinking into the harbor. As it drew nearer, it glowed with crimson
+lights. Then, suddenly every light went out and again the great
+mysterious hulk was swallowed up in the darkness. Not a sound was
+heard. Could this be the same ship that had sailed away so gayly three
+years ago? No one awaited its coming, for it had been long given up
+for lost. It came nearer and nearer, and a breeze, which had suddenly
+come up, whistled through its thin sails and moved the spars, making a
+sound like the rattling of dry bones. Then, as if in response to the
+command of a ghostly captain, the great, black hulk sank into the
+darkness under the water, leaving only a whirlpool to mark its
+existence. It sank as it had sailed in; slowly and mysteriously.

+RAIN
+
+
+    I love to hear upon the walk
+    The rain that comes on nights in spring,
+    So warm and soft and pattering
+    It seems to fairly talk.
+
+    It tells me of arbutus shy,
+    That hides in moss beside a tree,
+    Of crocus and anemone
+    That peek out at the sky.
+
+    It fills with earthly scent the night,
+    And glistens on the new green leaves;
+    It drips and drips from shining eaves
+    And sparkles in the light.

+
+
+TROUBLES OF AN AMATEUR
+
+
+Mary had been assured that "Dolly" was absolutely dependable, would
+not shy, had a kind and gentle disposition, and was easy to manage;
+but now she was actually gazing upon this amiable annihilator, the
+courage oozed out of her suddenly pounding heart and her eyes widened
+with fright and suspicion. She wished now she hadn't been so desirous
+of tempting fate on such a seemingly ferocious and unnatural brute.
+
+"Dolly," on the other hand, happily unaware of his savageness and
+unnatural spirit, drooped his homely, ungainly head in a dejected
+manner. To him, Mary was only one more burden, one more wriggling,
+gasping infliction, to be jogged slowly about for her first ride. He
+snorted in disdain. Mary jumped. Why didn't she use her own feet?
+"Dolly" didn't want to be bothered. Finally he rolled an eye back to
+survey his passenger.
+
+The groom was gradually coaxing Mary on--onto something terrible. She
+just knew it! "Dolly" seemed to assume supernatural proportions as
+Mary reached out a hand to grasp the reins which were handed to her.
+Someone boosted her on. Goodness! She was going right over on the
+other side! But no! She found herself sitting up on the broad back of
+"Dolly"; it was a very precarious position. How did one keep one's
+balance? She just knew she couldn't stay on. There was nothing to hang
+onto, and her....
+
+"Help!" she shrieked, as her steed casually stamped a clumsy foot, in
+the endeavor to rid himself of a persistent fly.
+
+The groom, now mounted, led her horse out into the ring. Mary hoped
+he'd hang onto the reins. If he didn't.... Mary pictured herself a
+mangled, shapeless mass. She shuddered. She'd seen those movie actors
+dart gaily about and had thought it would be lovely to learn to dart.
+But now--she wondered if they had been tied on!
+
+Oh! they were jogging. Mary didn't seem to understand the nature of
+the jog. She was out of breath. Grasping the pommel, she looked
+miserably at the long neck swaying in front of her. Two long ears
+fascinated her. Up and down, up and down. Ah! why didn't he stop? She
+attempted to shriek, but only succeeded in emitting faint gasps as
+"Dolly" swerved to avoid a small hole. Inside she seemed to be jolted
+to pieces. Her heart shook her chest, and a giddy feeling overpowered
+her. Her vision blurred, and her breath came in short gasps.
+
+"Dolly" had now slowed down to a walk, but to Mary this was the
+wildest of gaits. Every minute she fully expected to die on the spot.
+She couldn't stand it another second. She couldn't--she couldn't!
+
+"Time is up, Miss," announced a cheery voice. "Do you wish to
+dismount?"
+
+Mary came up from the depths of agony, and hope lit her face.
+
+"Oh-h-h!" she moaned. "Yes, I--Yes! Yes!"
+
+She was lifted, or rather dragged, off, she didn't know which, didn't
+care as long as she was off. The ground seemed to come up to meet her.
+Why didn't things stand still? Even the unsuspicious "Dolly" appeared
+to be performing grotesque antics. Mary took a step, just one. It was
+not necessary for her to take more to realize that she was very stiff.
+"Heavens!" She slowly gathered up her coat and hat, and limped
+painfully out of the Academy. Now she could realize that an amateur,
+in riding anyway, had her troubles in walking!

+TERESA
+
+
+    Teresa is my aunt's black cat;
+    She plays with this, she plays with that--
+    A tassel green, a string to tug,
+    A fleck of light upon the rug
+    Give her imagination fire.
+
+    And then she sleeps all in a ball
+    Beside the hearth out in the hall.
+    She loves to warm herself this way,
+    And dreams, this time, about her play--
+    While cuddled up she purrs and purrs.
+
+    When tea time comes, she's always there,
+    Beside my aunt's old walnut chair;
+    Her big green eyes are bright with glee,
+    Her chin sinks in a creamy sea,
+    And her ecstasy is complete.

+
+BOOKS I SHOULD LIKE TO WRITE
+
+
+It is last period on a long, sleepy, particularly humdrum day at
+school. Shirley sits trying to concentrate on a history text-book, but
+her mind will wander, despite her really noble efforts to distinguish
+the Valerian Laws from the Licinian Laws.
+
+"What an idiotic law to have to make!" she mutters resentfully. "But
+I'm sure I shouldn't be so dumb in History if I had an interesting
+text-book. It seems as though someone could write it, even if we
+aren't all Van Loons and H. G. Wellses. I bet I could myself--at least
+I'd make it a fascinating book if not a strictly exact one ('Yes you
+would,' says her Subconscious, but she pays no attention)! When I
+think of the generations of defenseless students to be subjected to
+these text-books, my heart aches for them!... The Valerian Law
+was...."
+
+The scene changes from this lethargic one to a fireside on a winter
+evening. She drops the book in her lap, the yells of the savages are
+fainter. She shakes the salt spray from her chair and tries to adjust
+herself once more to the prosaic of a land-lubber.
+
+"To write a book like that is my only desire on earth," she murmurs,
+as she reaches for a volume of Jane Austen.
+
+Now, completely involved in the career of _Emma_, she says, "Oh, for
+that gift of the gods Jane Austen had! Her speech--a rippling stream
+of perfect and delicious English, the King's English indeed! Each
+phrase is as delicately constructed as a watch, and all her watches
+tick together as one."
+
+Thus the incorrigible child goes on, unaware how many fascinating
+books she has longed to have written. From _Nicholas Nickleby_ to
+_Thunder on the Left_, from _Walter H. Page_ to the _Constant Nymph_,
+and from _Chaucer_ to _Edna St. Vincent Millay_! A veritable
+gourmande, she is.
+
+But forgive her. Who has not felt that he might improve a text-book?
+Who has not longed, in reading a glorious book, for similar
+brilliance? What lover of books is unmoved to an occasional effort at
+emulation, even if he afterwards destroy it? You who do these things,
+sympathize with Shirley, who, by her own hand we do confess, is
+bitterly disillusioned every time she tries to write a theme.

+
+OUR STREET
+
+
+Three Indians padded softly along through the tall dark pines. Their
+errand seemed peaceful, since their number was so small and they came
+so openly. Soon the path widened out, and finally led to a small glade
+in which stood a rough cabin. The Indians stopped to observe
+cautiously before making themselves known. What they saw filled them
+with curiosity and awe, for standing before the cabin was a white man
+praying, his deep voice echoing through the wild stillness of the
+forest. Beside him stood a younger man, whose attention, while
+respectful, was not undivided, for he had spied the Indians and waited
+restlessly for the "father" to finish his devotions. These done, he
+called his superior's attention to the savages lurking on the
+outskirts of the glade and beckoned to them to come forward. Both
+white men were eager to learn what the Indians might tell them, and
+the elder, who spoke the Indian tongue, talked glibly with the
+redskins. They, in turn, were curious about several things. First, the
+strange contrivance that hung from Father Hennepin's belt. He
+explained that it was to help him find his way through the uncharted
+country. Save for the compass he would quickly be lost.
+
+"Hugh," grunted one of the braves, "that no good. I lead you,"
+surprising the Jesuit by his use of English.
+
+"Good," answered the priest. The two white men went into the cabin,
+gathered their scanty baggage, and reappeared at the door. By this
+time the other Indians had disappeared down the path by which they had
+come. In the opposite direction, without a backward glance, the party
+of three men, the Jesuit, his companion, and the Indian guide, set out
+to find new thoroughfares.
+
+Now from morning to night traffic rolls along the same trail. The
+narrow path that once found its way through the forest with many
+turnings and twistings is now a wide, paved avenue. Over it go street
+cars carrying busy people, trucks laden with gravel or coal, the
+ever-present automobiles of people bent on pleasure. The street is
+lined on either side with tall buildings: stores, offices, houses,
+churches, museums. As we go down the avenue, we come to what was once
+a clearing in the forest. Instead of the simple cabin, there are now a
+variety of buildings: a small store whose owner, a French Canadian,
+carries on a thriving business; opposite, a restaurant owned by two
+yellow Chinese, who specialize in chow-mein; next door, the
+establishment of a husky Yankee, who plies his trade by greasing
+automobiles and supplying gasoline to motorists demanding that
+necessity.
+
+A thriving community now, what will this one time forest clearing be
+two hundred years hence?

+A CONVERSATION AT THE DINNER TABLE
+
+
+At dinner Daddy told us he had seen a prince. I asked him what prince
+it was.
+
+Then Mother said, "Didn't you read the paper, Ella Sturgis?"
+
+"No," I replied.
+
+"It was the Prince of Greece," said Daddy, "and he wore a monocle."
+
+Chucky said, "What is a monocle?"
+
+"It is a glass people wear in one eye and squint a little to keep it
+in," said Mother.
+
+Then she asked Daddy where he had seen the prince.
+
+"At the club," he replied. "I was invited to have lunch with him, but
+I could not accept the invitation because I had promised Ella Sturgis
+to do something for her dog, and Ashes is more important than the
+Prince."

+LORING PARK IN GRANDFATHER'S DAY
+
+
+In about 1855 Mr. W. H. Grimshaw came to live in Minneapolis where the
+Plaza Hotel now stands. Then Loring Park and the vicinity was farm
+land, and an Indian named Keg-o-ma-go-shieg had his wigwam at the
+corner of Oak Grove and Fifteenth streets. Mr. Grimshaw learned from
+him that Indians had lived on this spot for generations, but that
+since the land had come under government control, most of the Indians
+had gone. Keg-o-ma-go-shieg, because he loved so much the spot where
+he was born, returned every summer to fish in the lakes and hunt in
+the woods of his beloved birthplace. There is no tablet or monument to
+this last Indian in Loring Park, but there is one to Ole Bull facing
+Harmon Place. Would it not be more fitting to have a statue of Sitting
+Bull?
+
+Also there used to be an old, well-traveled Indian trail through the
+Park, of which there is no trace now, although some people have
+searched carefully for it. According to Mr. Grimshaw there used to be
+countless passenger pigeons, which in the migratory season roosted in
+the trees of Loring Park. At noon the sky would be darkened by a cloud
+of these birds, the air would be filled with the sound of their wings,
+and they would alight on the branches of the trees, nearly breaking
+them down by their great weight.
+
+Then there was the old brook that flowed out of Loring Park lake,
+across Harmon Place, under the present automobile buildings, and
+emptied into Basset's Creek. The old military road from Minnehaha
+Falls to Fort Ridgley ran through this section, roughly along Hennepin
+Avenue.
+
+West of Hennepin Avenue was Ruber's pasture, where cows and horses
+used to graze, and where the Parade Grounds, the Armory, the
+Cathedral, and Northrop School now are. Mr. J. S. Johnson was the
+first white settler in this part of Minneapolis. In 1856 he bought one
+hundred and sixty acres, of which a part is now Loring Park, for one
+dollar and twenty-five cents per acre.

+THE STORY HOUR
+

+"Now if you will be quiet I will tell you a story," said Miss Smith.
+
+"All right," said Tom, "but you must tell us a story about a pirate."
+
+"No!" cried Betty, "tell us a story about a fairy."
+
+"Be quiet or I will not tell you any story," exclaimed Miss Smith.
+
+"Please tell us a 'tory bout 'ittle baby," pleaded baby Ruth.
+
+"All right, the story will be about a little baby. You two older
+children ought to know better than to shout," sighed Miss Smith.
+
+"Oh dear, we never get anything now that Ruthie is old enough to let
+you know what she wants," groaned Tom.
+
+"Once upon a time," began Miss Smith, "there was a ..."
+
+"Pirate," interrupted Tom.
+
+"No, no," said Miss Smith as she went on with the story. "Once upon a
+time there was a ..."
+
+"Fairy," interrupted Betty.
+
+"No, a little baby," cried Ruth.

+"AT THE BACK OF THE NORTH WIND"
+
+
+If you would enjoy a glance at the home of one of the winds, read _At
+the Back of the North Wind_, by George MacDonald. Young Diamond, a
+little boy, the North Wind, Diamond's father and mother, and Old
+Diamond, which is a great and good horse,--these are the characters
+you will hear the most about in this story. The story narrates a
+series of adventures, in dream form, of Young Diamond and an uncanny
+creature who calls herself the North Wind. An unusual part of the
+story is the trip to the sea where the North Wind will destroy a ship.
+Diamond does not want to perceive this, so North Wind drops him in a
+great cathedral, where he wakes to see the moon-lit windows showing
+the saints in beautiful garments. If you like fairy tales, I would
+suggest that you read this incredible book.
+
+    GERALDINE HUDSON, Form V.
+
+
+
+
+My dear friend:
+
+I do so hope you will like the book _Dandelion Cottage_. It is an
+interesting story of four little girls named Betty Tucker, Jeanie
+Mapes, Mabel Bennett, and Marjorie Vale, who pay rent for a cottage by
+pulling dandelions. They have such interesting adventures and act so
+business-like that you ought to love it. I did when I read it. Carroll
+Watson Rankin certainly knows what girls like, for she has innumerable
+objects in that cottage that I know you would love to have in your
+room. It is very clean in the cottage, with not an atom of dirt
+anywhere. The part I like best in the story is where Laura Milligan, a
+disdainful little girl, moves into the neighborhood. She makes life
+miserable for the cottagers. When you read the story, be sure you look
+very carefully for the things Laura does, for they are very
+interesting. I know you prefer to read the book yourselves, so I will
+close now.
+
+    Sincerely yours,
+        BARBARA ANSON, Form V.

+
+KRAG AND JOHNNY BEAR
+
+
+You would be very much interested in the story of _Krag and Johnny
+Bear_, by Ernest Thomson Seton. The names are very cute. There are
+Nubbins, his mother, White Nose, and his mother. This part of the
+story tells about Krag, an extraordinary little sheep, who has many
+fascinating adventures. Little White Nose is very lazy, obstinate, and
+wary. Every morning Nubbins gets up and tries to wake up White Nose.
+When Krag grows up, he has beautiful big horns, and the hunters try to
+catch him so they can mount them. At the end of the story he is caught
+and his horns are mounted and kept in the king's palace. I know you
+would like to read this book if you are fond of animal stories.
+Another interesting story is about Randy, an extraordinary sparrow who
+is brought up with some canaries and learns to sing. One day the cage
+Randy was in fell over with an astounding crash and he escaped. He
+built a nest of sticks, which was the only kind he knew, and was very
+disconsolate when his mate, who was an ordinary sparrow, threw them
+away and brought hay and straw instead. Randy's mate is finally killed
+and Randy is caught and put back in his cage. I think you will like
+this book if you like animal stories.

+USES OF PUMPKINS
+
+
+It was a cold and frosty morning at Mr. Brown's farm. The pumpkins
+were huddled together, and their frosty coats glistened in the morning
+sunshine.
+
+"I heard Mr. Brown talking about Thanksgiving," said a little pumpkin.
+"I wonder what Thanksgiving is?"
+
+"Long ago," began a big pumpkin, "when the first white people came to
+this country, it was in early winter, and these settlers could raise
+no food. Many of them died of hunger and cold. But the next year the
+settlers planted many crops, and they grew wonderfully. So they had a
+day to thank God for the crops they had. The day they celebrated is
+called Thanksgiving."
+
+"Oh, I see," said the little pumpkin. "I am sure Teddy was thankful he
+had such a nice big pumpkin to make his Jack o' lantern out of on
+Hallowe'en."
+
+"I think the cattle are thankful that they have us to eat in winter,"
+said a middle-sized pumpkin, trying very hard to look wise, but the
+November air was so delightfully chilly and crisp he had to laugh.
+
+"I'm sure Farmer Brown and his family are thankful to have such a nice
+pumpkin pie every Thanksgiving," said a big pumpkin.
+
+"I never knew pumpkins were so useful," sighed the little pumpkin
+sleepily. Then he turned over and went to sleep.

+Transcriber's Note
+
+Obvious typographic errors (incorrect punctuation, omitted or transposed
+letters) have been repaired. Otherwise, however, variable spelling
+(including proper names, where there was no way to establish which
+spelling was correct) and hyphenation has been left as printed, due to
+the number of different contributors.
+
+Page 19 includes the phrase "if the snow smelts." This is probably a
+typographic error, but as it was impossible to be certain, it has been
+left as printed.

+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be

+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in

+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or

+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning

+States.

+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work

+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread

+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
