This year we dedicate our yearbook to one who forms a very necessary part of school life but does her work so quietly and efficiently that we sometimes don't realize how much she really does do.
We thank her for selling us stamps, for "our mail", for helping us unwrap packages, for needed words of encouragement and advice on colleges and other subjects, and finally for just plain being where she is whenever we need her. The best of luck and health to you in the future, Miss Bunnell.

MISS DUNHAM

Miss Dunham with her jolly sense of humor and her understanding manner has helped us through many hard marking periods and her advice on our doubtful futures has proved to be unendingly good. Many thanks to our senior advisor.
MISS MCBRIDE
"A merry .heart niaketh a cheerful countenance."—OLD TESTAMENT
Miss "Mac" listened to our troubles all through our middler year, and now again she has borne our year book problems with her jovial and merry disposition. We gratefully thank her for being the person she is.

RAKING UP THE
LEAVES
The wind has shaken the leaves from the branches of our Elm, Their courses steered by experiences of time with Northampton at the helm, And now 'tis time to rake them in and see the work of fate, The future of each Hamp School Senior from class of '48.
We'll start at the beginning and begin with A. A for Atkinson, Allen and Ahern, we say.
Beryl, we see teaching a French class in Prance Paris, Marseilles? No Muzon was her chance.
Sally is working hard even through noon, On the Roto Gravure of the Herald Tribune.
Loretta is deep in an experiment of chem. Dissecting an appendix. My, it's a gem.
Annie Babbitt's leaf at the end of the dike fell, And there she met a handsome young man, we heard tell. Away to a farm he took her for his wife, Where Annie will milk cows for the rest of her life.
Our own Barbara Bennett with the coal-black locks Now works with discounts at the famed G. Fox.
Gerry is competent, brainy, and wise, Miss Ascher's assistant to teach and advise.
One leaf was blown by the breeze to New York, Sue's dance is the rage of "21" and the Stork.
The new Bruce philosophy is what you should know. She's following the footsteps of Judd, Emerson, and Thoreau.
Janie C. is analyzing a child—at last, And it's her own Bill Jr. who's growing real fast.
Line forms to the right for the Colorado belle, Which one of her suitors she couldn't quite tell, A southern accent with this one, the northern with that, Shirley got them mixed up and now she just doesn't chat.
The book of the month;its profits most rewardin' Of course it's written and illustrated by Cowardin;
Nancy is planning N.Y.'s social whirl, At dances and parties, she's now quite a girl, She's out all night, she sleeps while she may, She hasn't changed much, our Nancy Day.
Dodge went to Aspen to learn how to ski, She fell off the lift and landed in a tree. She sat there and waited till a Scotchman passed by, She whistled,she winked,she finally caught his eye.
Husbands pace the hospital floor, from out of space comes a sob, But the little boy is doing fine, Nurse Young is on the job.
A voyage to China, a trip to Japan, In the South Sea Islands, Linda found her man.
She's set the hearts of men a-sighing, For her whole world is slowly dying, A whole new era of radio has begun, It's Jackie's voice that started the fun.
Tanya is drawing in plenty of dough, From those Russian pictures that help relations so.
Our other Nancy's leaf is still flying around, It just couldn't decide where to hit the ground.
Frannie's a Vassar Grad, sophisticated and chic, Who petrifies people with her radio horror shriek.
May's leaf blew far to the land of Brazil, Her own coffee beans she grinds and drinks coffee still.
Wendy's down south in a warm sunny clime, Away from cold weather she's spending her time, But Carnival week-end at Dartmouth rolls around, She just can't resist—in a snow drift she's found.
The scissors, the scalpel—she has strong steady fingers, Janet's operation is done and life still lingers.
Nikki is singing young Sammy to sleep, . But Sammy's eyes don't stay closed—she sees him peep, The land of dreams will have to wait Till Nikki finishes—not too late.
Betsy is teaching little ones how to read and write, In kindergarten and first grade, they work with all their might.
Ann's tapping the trees in the wilds of Vermont, Of course—it's new plastics for Dupont.
Newton has at last been brought to fame, Someone has just won the Miss America Contest—why, of course, it's Lane!
Tell your little boy to the dentist he must go, He won't put up a fuss and holler, "No, no, no!"
He'll say, "Momma, my teeth how holey they feel," Why the sudden change? The dentist is MacNeil!
Janie's known for her fabulous collection Of original earrings of most wonderful selection.
Bobby's in Hollywood, photographing the stars, For the Pepsodent ads, and "I eat Fifth Avenue Candy Bars."
Kitty's in love, but this time it's real, She knows it will last by the way that she feels.
Beth is a scientist, persistent and undismayed, Though along with her experiments, she's taking First Aid.
Muffy is dictating her experiences galore, For the Journal, Colliers, True Story, and more.
There's a peck of gossip on this page, That Marty's acting on the stage.
Phinney's leaf dropped on the top of a hill, She had to ski down and hoped she wouldn't spill. She made it though, and now she's showing us The right way to ski and fall without too much fuss.
Joanne is astonishing the great men in the lab, 'pon bacteria and microscopic data she keeps tab.
Junie is married and happy and gay, She runs a love column to make others the same way.
Our Margies are musicians both on concert tours, They wow the crowds all over—in mountains and in moors. Miss Bidwell's protege, Rowe, accompanies with gusto, While Miss Schmalz plays so hard that her flute might bust,o.
If you hit another car and make a great big dent, Anywhere near Chicago—we know where you should be sent, To Rusty's insurance company which flourishes right well, They fix all the dents and then your car they sell.
Sesh is a model for Conover, someone hints, She's posing for hair ads—the shampoo and the rinse.
Barbara's a breeder of the most ferocious spiders, Some are so big that they can now take riders, The others are used in Dracula thrillers, But Barb's now so used to them, they don't even chill 'er.
The headlines shout, the radios blare—This is no apparition, There is a fifth dimension, says Thomas, the mathematician
Denny runs a restaurant—the food is really neat, She not only does the cooking, but sings for an extra treat.
My dog is sick,she doesn't eat, maybe she has rabies, No, no, Mary Ann, the veterinarian says, she's only having babies.
Sheila's leaf blew around but finally alighted, By a talent scout from Buffalo—in the Music Club she's sighted, Her heart's desire, finally fulfilled, she croons in Crosby's style, The place is packed by all the men who faint and drop in the aisle.
Ouisi's leaf flew to a producer's door, She was put in one play, now hear the people roar.
Addie got her start from Miss McBee's Current Events, And now, she's showing Molotov some good common sense.
South America, France, and Germany, Liz has seen them all, Now she's seeing Philadelphia and Independence Hall.

Despite many trials and tribulations, headaches and gray hairs, the class of '48 has finally been granted a permanent leave of absence. This great moment came on June 7th when. each one of us walked solemnly up to the principals to be handed our diplomas. Although it marks the end of our wonderful stay at Hamp,commencement really means the beginning. It is the beginning of another life where each one of us individually will try to make a place in the world. We gratefully thank Hamp for preparing us so well for the hard ordeal ahead.
EDUCATION
We owe much appreciation to the Hicks family for a most educational year. Wendy's adeptness at handling the movie machine was instrumental in the presentation of each film. The films themselves were excellent, made more enjoyable by the accompanying sound effects. Many thanks to the Hicks.
This year we have been fortunate in having an extremely interesting selection of speakers. Among those who spoke were, Miss Boyard, from Sarah Lawrence, who told us about the college; Miss Williams, from Smith, who gave an interesting talk on astronomy; Mrs. Whitmore, also from Smith, who gave us a fascinating account of her experiences in Spain and Mexico; Miss Bornholdt, who spoke on Russian relations; Mrs.
Conkling, who read us some of Emily Dickinson's poetry and some of her own.
In addition to these, Miss Whitaker gave us some highly informative talks and Mrs. Balise told of her experiences at Oxford.
NEW FACULTY
This year we are glad to welcome four new faculty members to our school; Miss Baechle, Miss Smith, Miss Johnston, and Miss Dean. Miss Baechle, a graduate of Skidmore, is here as a secretary. Miss Johnston, a graduate of Smith, is studying there now while residing here. Miss Dean, who taught last year at Stuart Hall is now aiding us in the study of biology, chemistry, and general science. To help Miss Wallis in the athletic department is Miss Smith, a Wellesley graduate. Although Mrs. Pearce is new to many girls this year, she is not new to the school, for she was here two years ago and is once again teaching English.
Many thanks are due to these newcomers for their cheerful attitude and helpful guidance throughout the year.
HERE'S TO YOU
I don't think many of us realize what a truly great man our own Mr. Gorokhoff is. We think of him as our Glee Club director and never realize the experience and adventure he has behind him.
Mr. Gorokhoff was head director of the most famous choir in
Russia at the Great Church in Moscow. He was the greatest director in Russia at that time and since we always think of Russian music among the greatest music, there is no question of his prominence. Then at the fall of the Romanov Monarchy and the coming of the Communist party to power he was forced to flee from Russia and he arrived in the United States about 1918. Here he directed the Russian Cathedral choir in New York City. This choir was becoming quite famous and traveling all over the United States when it had to disperse because of Russia's withdrawal of the money supporting it. The men in this choir later became the famous Russian singers and dancers known as the Cossacks. After this many colleges came to New York to vie for his service but Smith won out and he came to Northampton to direct the Smith Music. When our school was founded in 1924 he came to direct our music and has been here ever since.
Mr. Gorokhoff has lately been quite ill at his home at 43 West Street in Northampton. However, he has recovered now and came to dinner at the school recently, where Addie Wolff, President of the Glee Club, presented him with a gift. He left on November 4th for New Haven to go and live with his son. I know we're all sorry to see Mr. Gorokhoff leave for he was one of the stand-bys of the school. We thank him for all his hard work and patience with us, his "nize girls," for we really appreci-
ate it. The best of luck and health to you in the future, Mr. Gorokhoff.
MARGARET DRUMMOND
We bade cheerful farewells to "Drummie" in October 1946 as she left for Scotland never dreaming that we were saying goodbye for a much longer journey. After a winter with relatives and friends in England and Scotland she came home miserably ill in June and died in Dickinson Hospital, Northampton, on July 25th, 1947.
Her death brings grief to a host of friends in widely scattered places and our alumnae will find it difficult to think of the school without her. Even at a first meeting one felt her forthright, loyal character, intolerant of pretense, nonsense and "fol-derol". It took a longer time to discover other qualities which her thorough professional training and experience as well as her Scottish background made peculiarly hers: love of birds and flowers, spontaneous generosity, the quaint expressions and Scottish accent which she delighted to exaggerate when she noted that hearers were pleased or amused by them, above all her sturdy championship of what she believed in. All who were in school during the war years will remember her zeal for British relief communicated to us as she led and directed knitting, sewing, and collecting garments, food, and money, activities in which she shared in town as well as at school. Retiring from school work did not bring the rest which she needed and had looked forward to, for in the shortage of nurses she gave hours of volunteer service at Dickinson Hospital and in outside cases.
Her childhood in Oban had given her a passionate love of the sea and she owned a tiny stone cottage on the island of Lismore, "just a but and ben". It is a satisfaction to
HAMP REVIEW
know that she spent some spring days on her island, sat on the rocks in the sunshine and saw primroses and snap-dragons beginning to grow between the ledges. She wrote to a friend over here. "At last I have my 'wee housie'. 0, it is beautiful, the sea, the sea, everywhere. But I can't stay here; I am getting too old to do without my comforts."
These enthusiasms, her work in London hospitals and at Salonika in World War I, kept modestly in the background, her thoughtful following of current affairs in her homeland and in her adopted country were all a part of a grand and stalwart character which made knowing her a broadening influence and losing her a real regret.
By Gertrude E. Brewster
SOCIETY
Hamp's whirl of fall parties started off with an old girls party for the newcomers. Of course Sheila's team came in first as the result of a campus-scourging scavenger hunt.
The new girls reciprocated by inviting the old girls to a return party. After participating in many exhausting games, Wendy entertained the girls with a movie, "Hymn of All Nations". That night the new girls were relieved of those "nasty green ribbons".
Soon after this affair came the day girls' Hallowe'en party for the boarders. Costumes were required and many revelers in imaginative and fantastic creations appeared to enjoy the festivities. Cider and doughnuts having been served the party was deemed a success.
This year we seniors have had the distinct pleasure of associating with two of the music world's up and coming stars, Arden Tinti and Jackie Foster.
Arden's concert on October twelfth, came as a pleasant sur-
prise to those of the new girls who had not heard her sing before, and to those of us who had, her talent seemed even more developed.
Following Christmas vacation, Jackie Foster, our famed coloratura, also made one Sunday afternoon in February most enjoyable, by displaying her unusual talent in a program of wide variety. Once again our newcomers were surprised to find one of our best liked seniors with another surprise up her sleeve.
We are sure both of these girls will go far with their music, and we wish them all the luck in the world.
PROM MEMOIRS
Friday, March 5, 1948
Dear Diary, Today has just been one hectic rush. You have no idea how much will-power it took to keep my nose in America's policy of neutrality in 1914, when I knew I'd be seeing Gooch at four-thirty. I must have survived somehow for soon he and I were walking hand in hand on the campus. As soon as we had reacquainted ourselves and reminisced we went over to the gym for punch and dancing. He nearly died when he met Sal; he said that she's just as I said she was. Oh, it was so wonderful to meet these charac; ters that the girls have been talking about all year. I pulled myself away at 5:30 to eat dinner. He came at seven-thirty and we grabbed front seats in the bus so we could get first cracks at the seats near the stage in the high school auditorium. Oh, di, the play was wonderful. I never knew there were so many talented people living with me right on the same campus. The prom's tomorrow—I can hardly wait!
Saturday, March 6, 1948
Di Darling,
It was wonderful! I know I'll never live through such a perfect day again. Gooch came at 11:00 A.M. on the dot. We walked on the campus and sat in Hathaway until lunch was served. We had a variety of choices for amusement in the afternoon; dancing in Hathaway and just loafing. I had to push my man off the campus so he'd have time to dress for the prom. He came back at 6:00 and we went to the banquet. I hardly recognized some of those people I live right next to because they looked so nice! I actually walked right by Sal. I felt extremely elegant walking into the long banquet hall on Gooch's arm. The dinner was delicious and my dress was even tighter when we came to the peppermint ice cream and chocolate sauce. We left the Yankee Room and walked into the Ballroom. I know I must have just glowed with pride when I introduced Gooch to the receiving line. He was by far the best-looking boy there, but then Sal says I'm prejudiced. We literally floated around the room to the music provided by the Lord Jeff Jesters. I kept seven of the twelve dances with Gooch but he was mad that I didn't give him more! At 12:00 we said good-night to the boys. Would I be repeating myself, Di, if I said it was wonderful?
Sunday, March 7, 1948
Di Dear,
He's gone; I'm blue. Honestly, I nearly died laughing when I saw Gooch in church. He's so darn big and just not the "beautiful soul" type. He walked back to school and had lunch about 1:00. We just sat and talked all afternoon but it was anything but boring. Oh, Di, my senior prom's all over and it'll never, never come again—but the memories.—L.W.
HANIP REVIEW
THE COCKTAIL PARTY
Sally ran the comb through the last straggling curl and tied a red bow around her head. She took a last look at herself in her mother's full length mirror and started down stairs.
Today was the big day. Her mother was having a cocktail party and she was going to be allowed to pass the canapes.
With all the excitement that a girl of eight can have, she bounded into the kitchen to find out what she could sample in the way of canapes. She sat down very primly on one of the battered blue kitchen chairs and received her instructions from Sadie, the cook. When the guests arrived, she was to show them where to put their coats; the men in her father's study, and the women upstairs in her mother's room, then she was to come into the kitchen and wait for the signal from her mother that would mean it was time to bring the canapes.
When the doorbell rang the first time, Sally went and opened the door. She couldn't think of anything to say so she ushered Mr. and Mrs. Potter, in silence,- to their various coat rooms. After the bell had rung for the last time and Sally was rather tired of pointing the way to the study and escorting the ladies upstairs, she went into the kitchen. There, she sat with the utmost of impatience for the signal from her mother. She fidgeted terribly and rearranged the plates of canapes at least three times. Finally, the signal came and she quickly picked up a plate in each hand and backed through the swinging door. The noise was appalling. Sally stood, stunned, by the door until an encouraging "Come on, dear" from her mother work her up. Then she pushed her way through the crowd that was chattering in front of the door.
She started her long and tedious journey with Mimi, a distant cousin, and after standing patiently while Mimi cooed over the assortment of goodies, she continued around the circle of noisy people. She talked to the few people that she knew and made several trips to the kitchen to re-stack the plates. After the sixth trip around, she decided she was tired and so she sat down quietly in a corner to watch the proceedings.
In one corner a very fat and bored looking celibate was spread over a large armchair, muttering aphorisms to Sally's poodle that was looking longingly at a dish of candy on the table beside the chair.
Mrs. Potter was exclaiming over Mimi's new dress, but it was obvious from the expression on her face that she wasn't very fond of it.
Mr. Potter was in the middle of some tired looking husbands who were celebrating their freedom and arguing about the current news.
All went well for a while, until suddenly Mrs. Foster was inspired to invite all the remaining guests out for dinner. Mr. Potter, thinking of the money angle, quickly squelched her wonderful idea. After a quiet spell, during which the Potters glared at each other, the conversation continued in the same noisy way.
Sally was awakened from her daze by the acrid smell of burning canapes. She'd forgotten the cheese and crackers in the oven. She jumped up and with one last look around the crowd, rushed into the kitchen, wondering if she would be like that when she grew up.—R.T.
The snow comes Looks at the world Slowly descends And softly, In a wisp, Is gone. A.T.

SPORTS
Tap day this year was received by new and old girls with enthusiasm and competitive spirit. After the new girls had been appointed to either the white or green team by the captains, Claire Conover and Connie Duane, competition began that afternoon with relay races and basketball games. Although the white team was victorious in these sports and also in hockey, it proved to be the underdog in the soccer games. Calisthenics and modern dancing in the gym in winter rewarded the girls with aching backs and tight muscles. We are all looking forward to spring when we may show our ability (?) in baseball. Practice will start early in March for the Pageant given in June, in honor of our May Day Queen. This will end the athletics for this year. It was play day at Northfield. Mary Burnham, Greenfield, Stoneleigh Prospect and Hamp had all assembled in the gym ready to display their various talents. Some were there for hockey, others for basketball and soccer, while Hamp was there for tennis. Old man weather, however, did not favor us that day, and drenched everything with rain including the tennis courts. So, after a few drizzly games the tennis team, consisting of Bobby Mauro, Sheila, Shirley, Janet Rowe and Marty gave up. Basketball was taken up instead. Strangely enough Hamp's rival was Burnham, a fact which made our team even more determined to win. N.S.F.G., however, was at a slight advantage as they had been playing outdoor basketball for

some time whereas Burnham had not. In view of this fact it was not too surprising that the final score of 34-11 was a Hamp victory. Cheering us on to victory were our selected group of cheerleaders under the direction of Joannie Polito. All rivalry ended with a dip in the Northfield pool, followed by a tea in the gym.
THEATRE
Once again the advantage of being situated in Northampton has proved itself. This year the Drama Deptment of Smith cast and directed four fascinating plays. One of these, Tartuffe, presented on September 29th was a farce, set in the eighteenth century. The second play, given on December 9th, was an entirely new production called A Living Newspaper. This play was made up of many short scenes relating to atomic energy. It continued on showing the individual's reaction to Bikini pointing up as it did so, today's problem of atomic control. Each role was admirably performed while much excitement was added by the appearance of an authentic, smoking bomb. The third play, Rocket to the.Moon was also a modern-day play but concerned itself more with human relationships in the form of a two men - one woman triangle. The last, but not least, was a drama concerning a wolf-boy. As well done as its predecessors, this play rounded up the season in excellent style.
FRENCH PLAY
The French Club presented a play entitled "Capucine" on January thirty-first. The cast consisted of Pere la Chandelle, played by Judy Palmer, the magistrate whose earthly love was geraniums; Madame la Bohemienne, played by Bobby Mauro, was the villain; two clowns were Porn and Pic,
played by Nan Munsell and Beryl Atkinson; Paolo, played by Tanya Glaskowsky, was the professor talented in magic, and his ardent admirer, Pedro, was Paula Burgee; the mathematical bear was May Henson and the cow, Ruth Levitan.
Pere la Chandelle announces to the village that a circus is corning to town. This circus belongs to Madame la Bohemienne and her two friends, Paolo and Pedro. They exhibit their marvelous bear, a mathematical wizard. Pic and Porn discover that the bear is unable to count above two and they make a wager with its owner, Madame la Bohemienne. It is agreed that if they can find an animal more extraordinary than the bear they will become the owners of the entire circus. At this point they set off for the woods to wait for an animal to come to them. Capucine, a little cow, falls off the moon and lands at the feet of Pic and Porn, who immediately hide her in the barn of Pere la Chandelle. This cow has the peculiar trait of giving off chocolate milk when her tail is pumped up and down. Madame la Bohemienne discovers Capucine and a fierce battle ensues. Pere la Chandelle is called upon to decide whether the bear or the cow is more extraordinary. Ceremoniously he announces that the winner is Capucine, whereupon Pic and Porn dance for joy, and Madame la Bohemienne scowls fiercely at the audience, showing her displeasure. Pere la Chandelle heads the procession off stage, followed by Pic and Pam, driving their horses Paolo and Pedro. The bear and the cow leap along behind them and Madame la Bohemienne brings up the rear with a broom.
Following the performance, refreshments were served. The proceeds went toward French Relief. The entire French Club offers many thanks to Mademoiselle Ri,
vier, who so patiently coached the play, and to Miss Bidwell, our pianist.
VICE VERSUS VARIETY
On October 25th, the Mask and Wig Club presented a Variety Show. The audience was seated and waiting when the curtain went up and the "Gay Nineties" chorus number came on. (Those blue frilly skirts were certainly something!) Next came "Goldie Locks the Door", a simple . but most ingenious skit employing the use of such puns as leaving one's scent by dropping a penny on the floor. The Denning Sisters then gave us a few of their new recordings. Ruthie Hibbs tripped on next as a bare-foot country hick, singing "Feudin' and Fightin'." Jackie Foster carried on with "What's the Use of Wondering" and "Something Sort of Grandish". The first half closed with some typical Hamp jitterbugging nobly performed by Rosie and Muffy. After the intermission and refreshments of cider and doughnuts, the show continued. The curtain rose on "Little Nell", a skit chanted with a rhythmic downbeat by Wendy, Connie, Marty, and Muffy. Next come the "Sweater, the Sarong, and the Peek-a-boo bangs." With the Sweater modeled by Sesh and Rosie, the Sarong by Mattas and Karfiol, and Wendy and Barbara Chase as the Peek-a-boo bangs, it made quite a hit for itself. Following some barber shop crooning by Jackie, Sesh, and Mattas, Holly Veeder gave us a little of Chicago with "These Foolish Things" and "You Go to My Head" done up in typical nightclub style. We know the audience enjoyed the show as much as the Dramatic Club enjoyed giving it.
JANIE, YOU STOLE MY HEART
Mr. Colburn stamped across the

floor and yelled, "Hey, Lucille!" and "Janie" was on. Once again the talents of Williston Academy and Hamp were combined to produce this very amusing comedy on March 5th in the Northampton High School Auditorium. Under the able drection of Mr. Boardman and Mrs. Pearce "Janie" actually developed from absolutely nothing into a well-done play in very little time. Mr. Colburn was played by Grant MacMackin; Mrs. Colburn by Wendy Hicks; Janie Colburn by Marty Peck; Paula Rainey by Audrey Morgan; Bernadine Dodd by Rosemary Thurber; Scooper Nolan by Joe Stevens; Tina by Jane Mattas; Rodney by Ray Wallis; Mr. Van Brunt by Bob Millinton; Mrs. Laurence by Shirley Carter; Dick Laurence by Scotty Marrow and Dead-Pan by Lindy Hanson. The play was about the life of a typical teen-ager .and her family during the war years and their trials with the army.and war-time inconveniences. The players had a wonderful time doing the play, and hoped the audience enjoyed it half as much as they enjoyed working on it.
THEATRE
It was decided this year to produce three one act plays for our fall production, in place of the usual long one. Wendy Hicks, the Dramatic Club president, and Mrs. Pearce chose the plays that were later presented in the Northampton High School theater. Each was different and appealing in its own way.
The first of these plays was "When The Whirlwind Blows," a dramatic tragedy about Russian peasants during the revolution. Anna was played by Louise Williamson; the old woman by Ann Karfiol; and Sally Allen took the part of Madame.
"The Maker of Dreams", the
second play, was a fantasy. The title role was played by Wendy Hicks. Connie Duane portrayed Pierrette while Marty Peck was costumed as Pierrot.
The final curtain fall was on the comedy "When Shakespeare's Ladies Meet." The more serious ladies, Juliet and Desdemona, were portrayed by Betsy Cole and Barbara Bennett. Dry humor was added by Frances Hazlehurst as Portia. Katherine, Nancy Tuttle and Cleopatra, Muffy Morgan were the more lively characters. The deranged Ophelia was played by Rosie Thurber.
Tragedy, fantasy, and comedy, all made possible by the hard working stage crew and the numerous committees, provided a most amusing and delightful evening for those who attended.
LIFE ON A RESERVATION
by Frances Hazlehurst and Shirley Carter
Basking contentedly in the warm western sun of the waste lands of the Northampton desert lolled dozens of lazy little lizards. Scouting the reservation was a regiment from the Army of Armadillos. These Armadillos patrolled regularly, kept order, and made sure the less important duties of the lizards were attended to. Among these chores were classes for the brain, exercises on the mesa to keep their scales in good shape, study hours, pow-wows for extracurricular interest in different subjects, chapel in the ceremonial Kivas, required activities in Smythe Prairie Dog Hole. Another tribal custom is their weekly frolic with the hideous gila monsters, which slither and slouch over across the sandy wastes from Notsilliw. Of course, the nest must be kept tidy. Miss Python squeezes a neat rock bed out of them. To make certain
the lazy little lizards arrive punc- tually for their appointments, rattlesnakes are coiled under each cactus to rattle the time away. Food' gathering expeditions are sent out daily to the trading-post in a nearby pueblo. The Armadillos see to it that no time is wasted for they like to see the lizards frisking about industriously in a well overworked manner. And so the spotted salamanders lead the tribe of insignifi- cant lazy little lizards onward to destiny, attempting to create a contrbiution to future civilization.
