Amusements of the School Year
On the twenty-fifth of September, 1930 we arrived laden down with bags and eaten up with a great curiosity, mingled with bewilderment. That night we spread ourselves out all over the floor in Bunny Carroll's room, and although some of us were slightly dazed, we managed to enjoy an uproarious game of Pig. The spirit of informal camaraderie which marked that first "gathering" has been characteristic of all the parties which have followed it.
At the beginning of the year Saturday night parties kept us well amused. The first one was a costume dance given by the old girls, at which we were asked to identify as many of the students as we could, a very arduous task for us at that time. A party given by the Christian Association, to which we came as movie stars, was our next entertainment. All the costumes were very clever, but Donna and Linky, as Laurel and Hardy, were the hit of the evening. Then the new girls played hostess and gave everyone a good appetite for delicious cheese dreams by sending them on a long and difficult treasure hunt. Halloween night was celebrated in an eerie fashion in Hathaway's gloomy cellar, which was draped with ghostly white sheets and decorated by skeletons. We played all the good old-fashioned games, ducked for apples and searched (with our noses) for pennies in flour. We had our fortune told by Bobbie, and ripped our crepe paper costumes to shreds during a game of Sardines. Hathaway's mock wedding followed and was a perfect howl, especially because of the discrepancy in the sizes of the bride and groom. and the musical quality of the voice of the songstress.
Christmas time was perhaps the gayest of all with feverish preparation for the parties and much expenditure of energy in decorating the houses. Our first Christmas function was an entertainment for the children of the employees. They all received gifts from a very realistic Santa and afterwards entertained us with songs and pieces. It would be difficult to decide who had the better time, the children or we. Then we had our own joke tree from which everyone was the recipient of amusing presents. Later on we sang carols and acted a Christmas miracle play for the guests of the school.
Immediately after our return from vacation our gaieties recommenced. The first event was the Junior Reception, a rather formal but highly enjoyable affair at which we danced to a real live orchestra. Hathaway's living room having been finished, we had a housewarming in the form of a Sunday night tea for the Faculty. Before mid-years there was also a Valentine's day Bridge Party given by the Seniors.
The Terrace Tatler •
On the last week-end in January we all departed for Northfield, where we spent four of the most heavenly possible days. The place was buried in snow but the toboggan slide was swift enough to please the most reckless; and the ski track was perfect. We snow-shoed, and some of us got lost; we sprained ankles and over-ate; we enjoyed a winter picnic of hot dogs and bananas roasted in the peel; we had our pictures taken and were outside from dawn to dark, enjoying every minute of the most glorious week-end of the year.
In the Spring, as in the Fall, we went to various lovely spots in the woods for picnics. I wonder if the excursions to Whately Glen with its splashing, tumbling brook whose water was so delicious, or to Mountain Park, where we rode twelve times in succession on the roller coaster, got hilariously silly, and spent all the money within sight were any more fun than the first picnic where we played baseball by the river, or the time we climbed Mount Tom and killed a vicious rattler at the top, or the picnic where we took the beautiful walk over Petticoat Hill.
On the last Monday in May, Stoneleigh School came to visit us, and we enjoyed our initial entertainment of another school. An especially great thrill was gained from wearing the new green blazers, bought particularly for this occasion.
As I look back upon it, the school year seems to have been planned with the most entertaining parties and events, each one more fun than the last, although as I lived. through the year it seemed as though we did nothing but study and forget every thing else in our desire to attain our goal, college.
Betsy Hazen.
History of the Class of 1931
Two years ago the class of '31 was a dream class of the future, a class whose traditions were not yet founded, whose plans were yet unmade, whose happiness and good times were yet in the distance. In the Fall of '29, only four of our present membership of forty-six were registered, and these august four were Evie, Bud, Bouncer and Henrietta. Then came four more to swell the ranks of boarders, Jane, Peg, Deedee, and Stoney. These eight members, plus four day pupils, made us feel most significant as we marched into chapel singing our Junior Class song. The class was fairly well-launched now, and it was not long before we began making a reputation for ourselves. Evie represented us on Student Council; Stoney, Jane, and 1). 1). sponsored an animal show; Jane was elected president of the Student Council for first semester of 1930; and four of our fair maids were ushers at graduation. So the Junior Class began, and so it flourished until June, when the year was brought to an end with the feeling that we had acquitted ourselves as true Northampton School girls.
In the Fall of this year twenty-nine members were added to the pioneers. But it was the old girls who found something truly exciting in coming suddenly upon new plants in Miss Bement's rock gardens, who felt themselves really at home in Montgomery parlor, in Scott gymnasium, on the tennis courts, who appreciated the thrill of seeing "New Hathaway" for the first time.. We feel that Hathaway is a house to be proud of and hope that future classes will continue to make its homelike atmosphere homelike and its hospitable aspect hospitable. As work and responsibility grew heavy on our shoulders we began to realize how much we owe to Peg and Evie for their capable leadership during those weeks of effort.
One of our biggest thrills came on October fifteenth when the first senior class was announced. As we marched into chapel singing our class song, we realized that we were actually seniors and were truly on our way to college, and we were filled with a desire to fulfill the best that was in us. It is to the immense credit of the first seniors that they attacked the year's work with so much vim and vigor, and they were rewarded by a gala banquet given for them by Miss Bement and Miss Whitaker.
After mid-years the original members announced the third senior class by marching singing through the houses and telling the new seniors of the honor that they had earned by tapping each one on the shoulder.
Miss Lucy Baker, Miss Helen Wallis, Mrs. Adelaide Agnew, Miss Martha Carr, Mrs. Ann Harland, Miss Ruth Congdon, Miss Miriam Hannah, Miss Jean Philip, Miss Catherine Hall, Miss Gladys Peterson, Miss Alice Logan, Miss Sarah Whitaker and Miss Dorothy Bement.
The Terrace Tatler
It was hoped that this method would stimulate recruiting in the fourth term.
Autumn and Winter flew by, Spring vacation came and went, and with the warm weather which accompanies Spring came a universal suffering on the part of all of us on account of the excessive warmth of our silk stockings. Accordingly we asked the faculty for the privilege of wearing socks on campus, and, to our great joy, this petition was granted. We hope that succeeding classes will benefit from the other changes in the handbook as much as we have from this one.
Another one of the changes that came with Spring was the adoption of the school recreation-uniform, a white pique dress and a green flannel blazer. We hope that these outfits, which we prize highly, will become traditional.
Outside of our regular class activitiei, our interest has been centered in the year book. Every senior class since the school began has started a new tradition, and we hope to make this fresh venture the most valuable tradition in Northampton School history.
Anyone who has taken part in the doings of the last few weeks will look back on them with happiness mingled with a little sadness that they had to go so quickly. On May thirtieth occurred the annual frolic on the green in the celebration of May Day, on June third the hay-ride picnic given by the seniors in honor of the Phoenix, and on June eleventh, the long-anticipated Phoenix Day, which began with the introduction of Smart and Stupid at Chapel. These two honorable Phoenixes lived short but eventful lives and were sacrificed with. solemn'ceremony that night. The tables were turned on the proud seniors during the day, for they were obliged to obey the command of the Phoenix Bird which ordered them to show their subserviency by doing certain things injurious to their pride, such as making beds, running errands, and wearing fantastic costumes. On Phoenix night the class of '31 presented a token of sincere affection to Miss Bement and Miss Whitaker. By this gift, we hope to be resurrected daily in the memories of those who sent us on to college.
It is now with eager expectation, mingled with joy and sadness, that we await June twelfth. We trust that the class of 1932, at the culmination of their time as students here, will feel that throughout their career they have been as happy and as fortunate as we, the class of 1931.
Reading of the Will of '31
COURT CRIER: Hear ! Hear ye! All ye who manifest an interest in this case stand while the Court enters.
(People rise. Judge enters, sits down, and raps with his gavel.)
JUDGE: The court will please come to order. You understand, of course, that this special sitting of the court is expressly for the rending and probating of the will of the late class of 1931. Its last wish was that the will should be executed by a chosen jury that it might not be unlawfully contested. The will, as drawn only a few days ago, will now be read, and it is to be desired that only those who hold an intimate interest in '81 will remain for the reading.
"We, the class of 1981 of the Northampton School for Girls, in the county of Hampshire, in the state of Massachusetts, being of sound mind and body, do make, publish and declare this our last will and testament, to wit:
First: We give and bequeathe to Miss Bement and Miss Whitaker, as tokens of our regard and esteem, our heartfelt thanks and everlasting good-will for their patience and understanding of our shortcomings.

FOUND—ANOTHER EDNA ST. VINCENT MILLAY
Miss Mary Pritchard, writing under the name of Winifred Wellington, has astounded the literary world with the publication of a new book of poetry, "Just Another Dawn." It is the opinion of critics that the few poems within this small volume show that Miss Pritchard has the insight and perspective of Miss Millay. Although she is still young in years, Miss Pritchard has published before this two other books of poetry, "Onion Fields," and "Pansies with Cacti", which have established her reputation as a writer of delicacy and charm.
A competent successor of Ruth Etting has been acclaimed in Miss Constance Philbrick who charms the television audience nightly in whispering undertones.
