TERRACE TATTLER
Alma Mater
When we've put long years behind us, And our girlhood days are o'er, Let there be some class to greet us, When we come back to thy door. Friendship's ties that cannot sever, Though our ways be far apart, Will be in our hearts forever, 'Twas from thee we made our start.
Thou it was who reared and taught us, Set us out upon life's way. And to thee we'll e'er be grateful, Though we've been long years away. Now to thee our tribute raises; We'll be with thee to the end, And we'll always sing thy praises, Alma mater, School, and Friend.

Miss Ruth E. Dunham Dean of the Senior Class
We,the Class of 1944, acknowledge an everlasting debt of gratitude to Miss Dunham for her inspiration and guidance. It is with great regret, we leave her counsel and friendship.
DEDICATION
Our Saturday night gatherings, farm projects, and senior "high jinks" have been much enlivened by Miss Wallis. Therefore to "our Mother Wally," to whom we owe one of the best years ever, we fondly dedicate this yearbook.

For the past several months, we, the members of the editorial staff have coped with every manner of perplexing problem, from paper shortage to rationed time.

SENIORS
p•a
CAROL FISHER "FISH"
White Team; Christmas Pageant '92, '43; Lenten Choir '43, '49; President of Senior Class; Vice-president of Middler Class, "Trial by Jury" '43; Spanish Club '43, '44; Music Club, '43, '44; Pegasus; President of Montgomery-Scott, '92, '43; Middle,- Usher '93; Commencement Pageant '43; Baccalaureate Choir '93; Waite; Mummer's Play; "Pirates of Penzance" '44.
Peppy and vivacious as 5'2" blondes go, Fish might well be called the toast of the Army Air Corps. She is particularly enchanted by black lace undies, not to mention operations and pre-midshipmen. Though she is able to turn on sophistication at will, we prefer to remember her as just—"OhFisher."
ANNE
STEARNS DOBLE "ANNIE"
';reen Team; Vice-president Senior Class; President of Hathaway '44; Camera Club 43, '99; Vice-president Camera Club '43, '44; Spanish Club '44; "You Can't Take It With You" '49; Art Editor of the Year-book. An obsession for Marines, beanies, ice cream and long distance phone calls—that's our Annie. Our "first married" gal has proved her merit as an artist and her infectious grin has endeared her to all of us.
ALICE WILLIAMSON "AL" SMITH
Green Team; Secretary of Senior Class '44; Pegasus '44; Scribbler's Club; Current Events Club.
The "army daughter" of the school, "Al" knits, takes German all by her lonesome, knows the ropes at West Point, and keeps Cape Cod in tow at the same time. Although she continually owes "40 letters", Al is our pet.
NANCY PRITCHARD "PRIT,CHY" saFK
White Team; Waite '42, '43; &teenlaureate Choir '43; Commencement Pageant '43; French Club '43, '44; Music Club '43, '44; Treasurer of Senior Class '44; "Pirates of Penzance" '44.
A state of blonde confusion and blushes is "our Pritchy". Fauxpas is definitely her specialty. Vocabulary keeps her in agony, but "munching" on just about anything proves her solace. She is Hathaway's extra sweet little headache.
ELIZABETH JANE ALLSOP SMITH
Green Team; Mummer's Play '42; Lenten Choir '43; Pegasus '43, '44; French Club '43, '44; Scribbler's Club '43, '44.
Our miniature mannequin who prefers to be called "Jane", wears not only a size three shoe, and dresses like a Saks model, but she's heading into medicine. Outside interests? Oh, things in general.
DEBORAH DAVIDSON CARPENTER "DEBBIE" SMITH
White Team; Christmas Pageant '42; "lolanthe" '42; Baccalaureate Choir '42, '43; Sextette '43; Waite '42, '43; Lenten Choir '43; May Day Pageant '43; "Trial by Jury" '43; Music Club '44; Scribbler's Club, '43, '44; "Pirates of Penzance" '44.
Glamour plus—with an addition of new hair dos,'Debbie is the belle of Williston and Deerfield both, and from what we hear that's nigh an impossible feat. Keep up the good work, Debbie.
40P'
TRUE CHAPPELL "TRUDY"
Green Team; Pegasus '43, '44. K003 may not yield for her but True certainly can beat out the bottom part of the piano. What will second floor, back, do without her boundless energy, giggles, and embarrassed blushes—and the nightly "after lights" concerts from the tower room. 60,
ANNE MARY CIASCHINI "ANNE" MASSACHUSETTS STATE White Team.
Recess finds Anne in the "Fire hazard" with her fifth year clay-girl pals .' • . red glasses Ingrid Bergman hair-do.. . Lovely red plaid skirts and all.
EUNICE ELIZABETH CLELAND "EUNICE" SMITH
White Team; Pegasus; Art Editor Pegasus '42, '44; Mummer's Play '42; Lenten Choir; Christmas Pageant '42; Scribbler's Club '43, '44; Current Events Club '42, '44.
Likened to a colt she is---with leaping legs, flying mane, and eyes, round and innocent. When not in the lab, she's in the art room, and wherever she is, she's bound to be humming Gilbert and Sullivan. "And all the world is her stage."
LUCY CONANT "LUCY" RADCLIFFE
White Team; Winner Time Contest '44; Current Events Club '42, '44.
Lucy, our history whiz, is crazy over horses, especially one called "Dixie", and baked bean church suppers. Her gorgeous summer tans are acquired while driving a tractor, no mean accomplishment, and we've heard a rumor that her Wednesday evenings are specifically reserved for the Saturday Evening Post of which she's an avid reader.
ANN BRENDA COONEY "ANN" SMITH
White Team
Quiet, calm Cooney. She has learned to condense in English V but always manages to come out four or five pages ahead. Welldressed, we envy her sweaters and cable socks of every color.
PATRICIA ANN COX "PAT" SWEETBRIAR
White Team; Pegasus '43, '44; Commencement Pageant '43; Spanish Club '43, '44; "Pirates of Penzance" '44.
Envied possessor of one of Harnp's fullest mailboxes. Pat is an authority on B-25s and their pilots. Giving advice on how to "Do or Dye Right", keeps her busy, and New York week-ends 71us morale building are two of her favorite pastimes. As far as we're concerned, Pat more than fills the bill.
DEBORAH GATES "DEBBIE" MILLS Green Team; Camera club '42, '43; President of Camera Club '43, '44; Christmas Pageant '42; Secretary of Athletic Association '42, '43; Social Secretary '43, '44; Commencement Pageant '43; Spanish Club '43, '44; Current Events Club '42, '43; Photographic Editor'of Yearbook; "Pirates of Penzance" '14.
Studious, and yet always full of fun, we'll never forget Debbie. Her gay smile; her madness for blazers, crackers and cheese, surprises and selling clothes; topped by her endless troubles with males and activities.
MARY HELEN GAVIN "BUTCH" SKIDMORE
Green Team; Vice-president of Junior Class '40, '41; President of Junior Class '91, '42; Art Editor of Pegasus '41, '42; Christmas Pageant '40, '41; Commencement Pageant '40, '41; Secretary Student Council '42; "How Like a God" '42;."Letters to Lucerne" '43; "Pinafore" '41; "lolanthe '42; Business Manager of Pegasus '42, '43; Dramatic Club; Spanish Club; President of Athletic Association '41, '44; Co-Editor of Pegasus '43, '44; Literary Editor of Yearbook '44; Baccalaureate Choir '42; Lenten Choir '44; Middler Usher '43; "Pirates of Penzance" '44. Imagine ham without eggs, then imagine N. S. F. G. without Butchie. She's given us all a liberal education. Butch has proven her ability in art, athletics, farming, and Student Council. She even walked off with a lead in "Pirates of Penzance: (If you don't believe all this, just ask Butch.)
MARY CLEMEWELL HARRIMAN "CLEM" WELLESLEY
Green Team; Pegasus '42, '93; Co-Editor Pegasus '47, '44; President of Student Coun- cil '43; Scribbler's Club '43, '49; Current Events Club '43, '44.
Clem, the strong, silent type may very well be called "Hamp's Woman of Mystery." Although she is rather quiet we're pretty sure Mary Bill couldn't have caused all the racket on third floor Hathaway by herself. At any rate, for Clem, athletics, poetry and high Warks give evidence that she is more than a little "on the ball."
AUDREY DEBORAH JACKSON "JACKSON" SWEETBRIAR
Green Team; Pegasus '43, '44; Scribbler's Club '43, '44; Current Events Club '43, '44; Spanish Club '43, '44.
Hamp School's most glamorous female, "Audie" and her infectious laughter will be sadly lacking next year. "Audie" is undoubtedly the favorite correspondent of all the armed forces combined, and it wouldn't surprise us a bit if she were elected No. I Morale Builder.
ANNE AUGUSTUS JONES
"RONI" BENNE'FT JUNIOR COLLEGE
White Team; Summer School '42, '43. Aligator shoes, naturally curly blonde hair, a soft sweet voice, need we say more? Roni excells by far all members of any rocking chair brigade when it comes to turning out argyle socks—gorgeous plaids, and cable stitch too.. Here is another girl with seldom an empty mailbox, and when it comes to appendix, Roni is an authority.
CYNTHIA KIRKPATRICK "KIRK"
Green Team; French Club '43, '44; Scrib, bier's Club '43, '44; Current Events Club '43, '44; Sutnmer School '43. Who's that over there behind that magazine? Chances are it's Kirk. A great magazine reader she devours periodicals with all the voracity of a hungry grizzley. She loves to argue—but never gives in. Duke Ellington is better than Wagner; Whitman and sonnets—they aren't even poetry! So back to Good Housekeeping, sprinkled, it must be admitted, with French IV. Of an air-minded family, she too,'is anxious to fly, though she is an ace with us already.
NANCY KNIGHT "NAN" WELLESLEY
Editor of Yearbook; President of Hathaway '47; Scribbler's Club '43. '44; Dramatic Club '44.
Always efficiency plus, the envied owner of the last half of the "Double Single" room, she's interested in everything from "250 different wayo to fix potatoes", to sailboats. Nan is our A-I gal.
HELEN KOWALSKI "KOWALSKI" SMITH
White Team; Music Club; Glee Club Librarian; Day.girl Representative; Roar's Head Solo; "Pirates of Penzance". Kowalski came to us as a fifth _year girl to walk away with the lead in "The Pirates" for a second time. We won't soon forget her beautiful voice, the toss of her brown hicks, and that pair of navy wings.
ELIZABETH KRIDL "LIZ" SMITH
French Club '41 ,'42; Treasurer of French Club '42, '43; Secretary-Treasurer of French Club '43,'44; Pegasus. Our Polish girl is a special friend to us all—sweet and kind to everyone, those long thick braids and that grin of friendship will never let us forget her.
MARILYN MAILMAN "MICKEY" WELLESLEY
White Team; Captain of White Team '43, '44; Pegasus; Current Events Club '92, '44; Scribbler's Club '43, '44; Jester '43. Fond of really digging into things, Mickey has probably dug tip more dirt in American History than Mr. Beard himself. She also is capable of a lot along the lines of literature—well written essays and sonnets testify to this. Her long distance phone calls and amazing "gallop" have created a mild sensation in Hathaway. Halls will be strangely silent without Mickey's bouncing step on the stairs.
JANE HARLOW PALMER "PALMER"
Green Team; Camera Club '41, '42; Vicepresident of Camera Club '42, '43; Secretary Camera Club '43, '44; Baccalaureate Choir '42; Dramatic Club '42, '44; Middler Usher '43; Secretary Student Council '43; VicePresident Student Council '49; Spanish Club; Assistant Photographic Editor of Yearbook. Palmer is N. S. F. G.'s authority on the Tatniami Champion and from her enormous collection of baby pictures, we guess that by this time, she must also be an authority on the care of infants. A mania for answering letters keeps her mailbox well filled and her ready smile makes her popular wherever she goes.
DORCAS VIRGINIA PECK "PORKY" SMITH
Green Team; Business Manager of the Yearbook '43, '44.
Want to hear about Navy, sail boats, and sailor?—ask Porky. That is if you can man - 1 age to get to her through all her bunny rabbits and magazine clippings, and find her, "at home." Chances are that she is out soliciting for more yearbook ads. We have also heard a rumor that her "Brownies" can't be beat.
CYNTHIA BURTON REED "CINDY" SMITH "How Like a God" '42; French Club('43, '44; Pegasus '42, '43; Current Events '42, '43; "Trial by Jury" '43; Music Club '43, '44; Wailes '43; Lenten Choir '49; Scribbler's Club '44.
A veteran at N. S. F. G., Cindy is one of our favorite day girls. Without those gunboats and blue glasses it would be hard to recognize her. She's a whiz at basketball and a terror in soccer.
CYNTHIA WARNER RUDOLF "RUDY"
Green Team; President of Montgomery '43; Author of Middler Step Song '43; Commencement Pageant '43; Music Club '43, 44; Lenten Choi) '44; Waites '43; Head of Salvage Committee '43, '44; Defense Stamps '43, '44
"I'm Going to Saddle up my Dream Pony and head for the Great Divide." Wyoming's loss is Northampton's gain—full of fun, Rudy's popularity is unquestioned, and whether she's o.i the "clean up shift" or in the midst of composing a new All Time Favorite, she has that certain something that really makes a hit,
DORIS SCHINE "DO" SARAH LAWRENCE
White Team; President of Junior Class '39, '90; Baccalaureate Choir '42, '43; "lolanthe" '42; Commencement Pageant '43; Glee Club Librarian '43, '44; Music Club '43, '44; Treasurer of Christian Association "43, '49. "Do" is the much envied possessor of two precious dimples and eyes that could literally melt a heart of stone. Mad peruser of Nesbitt's "Passing Parade" and the "Gloversville Gazette", her antics have enlivened many a history class and when it comes to personality plus—she "can't be beat".
ROSEMARY SPRAGUE "ROSIE" -
White Team; Treasurer of Junior Class '40, '41; Christmas pageant '41; "Out of the Frying Pan" '43; Pegasus; President of Dramatic Club '43, '44; Day girl Representative '42, '43; President Middler Class '42, '43; "You Can't Take It With You" '44.
The whiz of the "Mesa de Espanol" always on the ball;.ROsie alternately dons red, black and blue velvet hair ribbons. Hailing from Amherst she certainly has a hard time with curfews . . . eh, Rosie?
JUDITH LYDIA THORNE "JUDY" VASSAR
Green Team; Wailes '42, '43; Christmas Pageant '42.
"I'm blazing a trail to my home .." Judy is in her bunkhouse, plunking the "geetar." She has acquired the easy-going manner of the cow-boy but manages to retain that innocent Thorne pout, and her own unique way of climbing a rope.
SARAH WALKER WHEELDON "SALLY"
White Team; President of Montgomery '41; Social Secretary '42, '43; President of French Club '42, '44; Prom Committee '42; Middler Usher '43; President Christian Association '43, '44.
Her multi-colored socks, adhesions, and "mtunp-bumps" are of never ceasing interest to the second floor Hathaway. Ever the "rebel", Sal wields a wicked hockey stick.
HOPE HAYNES WHEELER
"HOPEY" CADET NURSE CORPS
Camera Club "42, '43; Mayday '42, '43; Scribbler's Club '41, '44; Pegasus '43, 44. An avid conversationalist, Hope goes in for knitting, the British Navy, and Harry James. She appears to be bubbling over most of the time—with a pair of twinkling eyes and limitless energy. Though she does quiet down occasionally for Fred Waring, usually, thanks to Hope's boundless enthusiasm, Hathaway keeps Humm in'.
BETTE DE REMER WILSON
"BETTE" SMITH
White Team; Scribbler's Club '43, '44; Summer School '43.
Purple sweaters and matching cable socks; Walt Whitman, Robert Nathan and "Othello"—there in a nutshell you have Bette Wilson. One of our up and coming young scribblers, she can turn out just about anything from yearbook write-ups to short stories and lyric poetry.
ELIZABETH WITHINGTON "BETSY" SMITH Green Team; Captain of Green Team '43, '44; Commencement Pageant '41; Vice-president Junior Class '41,'42;"How Like a God" '42; Wailes '42, '43; Day Girl Representative' 43;"Trial by Jury"'43; Dramatic Club; Vice-president of Student Council '43; Secretary-Treasurer Dramatic Club '43, '44; "You Can't Take It With You" '44; President of Student Council '44.
Betsy's smile undoubtedly takes a blue ribbon and her hearty chuckles have cheered many a victim of "blue Tuesday." Her generosity, especially, when Sunday breakfasts of waffles are concerned, is unsurpassed, and when it comes to just plain good fellowship she "takes the cake."

ROCKING CHAIR REUNION
Time: A sunny afternoon in August, 1985 A. D.
Place: The side porch of Alaska's swankiest hotel.
An elderly lady creaks back and forth in her chair as she crochets and watches the casual promenading of another woman. Suddenly the tall figure stops. She stares.
"Pardon me, but haven't we met somewhere before?"
The lady in the chair nods eagerly and replies, "I had the very same idea about you! It's a ridiculous idea, but you couldn't by any chance be Jane Palmer?"
"Why yes! And you were one of the daygirls at Northampton School for Girls Sylvia—"
"Cynthia Reed, now Mrs.—"
"How amazing. What a small world it has become."
"Tell me Jane, (I hope you don't mind if I call you that), do you keep in touch with any of the girls?"
"Oh, my yes!"
"Really? What has become of them? I've seen quite a number of names in the papers lately. Debbie Gates and—"
"Yes, Debbie certainly has done much to bring about Socialism in America. After all her travel in Russia—"
i'Mickey Mailman did something along that line, didn't she?"
"Do sit down. Yes, Mickey wrote some sort of a book, "Six Different Ways to Climb a Rope." She doesn't do much of that now."
"Remember Liz Kridl? For a long time she was Chief Interpreter at the United Nations' Assembly, but one day she said ain't in Japanese and—"
"Of course you remember reading about poor Clem."
"Yes, Jane, poor Clem. Her walking tour of the world was sadly interrupted by civil war in one of the Ubangi provinces. Bette Wilson, of the Peoria Gazette, reviewed very favorably two hundred volumes of Clem's poetry. I started one once."
"I feel sorry for Hope Wheeler, too. Last time I saw her, in 1959, she was still trying to get someone to remove her tonsils. Butch Gavin offered to do it but was unable to get time off from her newest radio program, "Believe It or You'd Better Not"; they were going to do it in Ann Cooney's office, but she was performing an appendectomy at the time."
"What a shame. Why didn't True do it? She was a pretty good doctor in her day."
"True retired at sixty. She keeps a pony farm now. Her son is doing well at West Point too, I've heard."
"Isn't it grand to keep up family tradition that way?"
"Yes. And speaking of families, Roni certainly did all right, didn't she?"
"I should say so. And don't forget the daygirls, Jane. Debbie Carpenter has the biggest brood of all—she runs a boys' school; and Lucy Conant, elected first female President of the United States, 'Twas the Farm Bloc that did it. Rosie Sprague, why she's another Edna May Oliver! You must have seen her in "Old Women Must Die." Helen Kowalski has an able helper at the Chicago Opera House. I've never seen a better sword carrier than little Anne Ciaschini."
"The glamor girls all lived "happily ever after," didn't they? Pat Cox modeled for years at "Sacks." Too bad she lost her figure. Audie was lucky with her man. Just imagine, a Mexican millionaire. "B. J." and Al Williamson stuck to the army. Madame Allsop is Generalissima now and Al's husband, the commanding officer at West Point."
"You know Cindy, I certainly envy Betsy. During the hard times, she set up a roadside stand selling waffles and syrup, using her mother's recipe, the one we all liked so much."
"That was a clever idea. Say, what ever happened to Pritchy and Annie Doble?"
"They are running an art studio. The two styles are so.different that one is quite woozy after visiting there. You know the feeling I mean, Jane."
"I've heard that Dorky Peck has been quite busy the past fifty years. Takes in sewing, you know. I guess Navy first class pay isn't what it used to be. Don't you think it's outrageous for Sally Wheeldon to insist upon staying in the WAVES?
ROCKING CHAIR REUNION (Cont.)
And submarine duty at her age! If only her singing career hadn't folded up. She and Roni were awfully sweet as the Boylan Sisters."
"Yes, weren't they? Too bad dogs are extinct. The demand for Liveo is considerably less."
"Remember, Fish, and her dreams of a big estate in New Jersey and five sons. You'll be interested to hear that she is now living in the Kentucky mountains with her twenty-seven daughters."
"It's unbelievable. Did you know that Cinny Kirkpatrick is still working as a test pilot for Lockheed?"
"And she can't be a day under sixty! It is nice that Doris Schine's "Dreambook" in fourteen volumes, is such a success. It certainly took years of work."
"Poor Nan Knight was just dying to go abroad--she slipped on the gangplank."
"Wasn't it sad? Can you imagine Rudy at 55, still rustling the best steaks ever. But Judy was unfortunate--finally tripped over fate and disappeared down an open manhole."
"Well, Jane, I really must dash; my grandchildren will be waking from their naps any minute, and I'm playing nursemaid for the summer."
"Yes, I must skip along too, Cindy, though there isn't anything I despise more than cooking dinner in a ship's galley, and the "Restless Four" isn't as spacious as it might be. Good-bye--it was grand, every minute."

Words by REV. T. TIPLADY
A War ilium film
by RANELLA C. EWENS
0 Lord of Hosts and God of Grace Mid stormy clouds reveal Thy face, And bless our soldiers at the Front, Who bear of War the bitter brunt. In battle's harsh and solemn hour, Unveil Thine arm of mighty power.
0 Thou who o'er the mighty deep Dost watch with eyes that never sleep. Go forth upon the waters still To work Thy just and sovereign will Our sailors guard, and grant that they In all things may Thy will obey.
Be with our airmen as they fly Where sudden death is ever nigh In lonely heights they danger brave And with their lives our own they save Among the clouds be light and guide And let Thy will their acts decide —
Preserve our hearts from hateful thought In malice may no deed be wrought May justice hold the balance true In all we think or speak or do The years of peace may we foresee And seek a victory blest by Thee.
The music of this hymn was written by the head music mistress at the Northampton School for Girls, Northampton, England, and the girls in that school sing it once a week. The girls at this school have followed the custom and sing the hymn every Sunday evening.
