NORTHAMPTON SCHOOL FOR GIRLS

NORTHAMPTON MASSACHUSETTS

DEDICATION

For twenty-five years our principals have been the guiding influence in our school life. To them we are completely indebted for their understanding, their many words of wisdom, our rules and our privileges, but most of all for Hamp. The Northampton School for Girli is the product of their skillful hands, and every girl that emerges from Montgomery after graduation carries with her not only a diploma or certificate, but a philosophy of life drawn from many sources. There are those little talks in chapel, in which Miss Whitaker is "very distressed" and proceeds to tell us why. We may not always think we are listening, but her words make a far deeper impression than most of us realize. Miss Bement's precise instructions before exams and vacations, and her pertinent remarks at all times teach us the value of budgeting our time.

For these things and many others we thank our ever-willing principals, and wish them the best of luck and health in the future. To Miss Bement and Miss Whitaker we dedicate our 1949 Yearbook.

APPRECIATION

The class of 1949 would like to make use of this page to express its gratitude to those indispensable members of our school life, the faculty. We have come to our teachers with all sorts of problems, scholastic and otherwise, and they have never failed to advise us willingly and well. In the school room they have imparted to us just a portion of their great stores of knowledge, but they have always been willing to give us as much as we would accept. Outside the school room their graciousness and understanding has set a pattern for our future lives away from Hamp. So right here the twenty-fifth graduating class of the Northampton School for Girls would like to thank the whole faculty, past, present, and future, for being a very important part of Hamp.

TIEN YIEAIRS IrIRCIN'll NOW

In a hotel restaurant in New York - 1959

"It's like I said — she actually decided on a man. That's right, I don't know his name, but he's just Annie's age and she's really very happy. Isn't it funny that we ran into each other like this? What? Oh yes, I know where all our class is — I've been reading my Pegasus faithfully. Say, did you know that Doris is editor of the "Great Neck News" — Doris Karfiol — you know,"Hail Great Neck High" etc. Yes, that's right. Hmm? Oh, Connie, well she and Mooie are looking after the First National. They're seeing that the "A and 13" doesn't get bigger and better stores. And wait'll you hear about Poppy! What? Oh, you know? Well, I always said that she and that stunning Al would get married! Speaking of marriage, Ruthie is married of course, fellow named Nolan I think. Sylvia made it too, he's some kind of a doctor — something to do with the mind, I think. Say, have you seen Poo? Where? Why, she's in the branch of the Children's Theater here in New York. Yes, she organized it all by herself and she's playing some sort of Irish part this week. We really must go and see her.

"Oh, I think I'll have the shrimp cocktail to begin with. What about you? Would you bring it now waiter, we'll decide on the rest of the dinner while we wait. Thank you. Such an attractive looking waiter, isn't he?

"Oh yes, the other girls. Well now, let me see. . oh yes! Emmy McFadon. She's out in Washington still. She just published a book of jokes — she's hoping it'll be banned in Boston — they sell better that way you know, but she hasn't heard yet. Her roommate? Nancy Angell — well, she married some Dartmouth man and she plays the bugle on the side. Oh,do you know who's right here in town? Mardie Beach. She's in Greenwich Village, an artist, you know. "Legs" Garrett is here too — she's leading the Rockettes. Oh, and the N.S.F.G. is well represented on the radio too. Ruth Frank's doing men's parts on morning soap operas. She always said her voice would get her something. Nancy Tuttle's there too, she's on the Lux Radio Theater or something — heard her the other night. — very good.

"I think I'll have steak and french fries, waiter. Thank you. Well really! I don't know what he's so snippity about. I certainly haven't kept him waiting that long!

"Let's see, who else is there? Oh, Boots has a horse ranch out west and I think Betty Cahill is out there now. It's usually pretty hard to tear her away from Brockton though. Ann Miskell just got back from the Olympics, she's one of our best skiers now. Joan Angotti is head of a very wonderful dress shop in Palm Beach, and Beverly Sender is modeling. Puff Button is doing portraits now. I saw one she did of Paula — she's married now naturally, — and it is really exquisite. The steak is just delicious. I'm so glad we decided to come here. Do you happen to know what Jackie Bose is doing? What? She's teaching Advanced Trig? And what about Sally Davis? I thought so, I knew that she'd get somewhere with her voice. Singing at Carnegie Hall is a wonderful accomplishment. Jeanie Atwell is dancing in some night club here in town I think — Seems someone said something about it. Holly is singing at Café Society and is the "talk of the town." Betsy Cole is now out of the C. B. Club but she is spending a lot of time and effort in helping those who are still in it. Corky? Oh no, sailing is just a sideline now, she's raising a crew of her own. Barbara Hawes taught gym for a while, but now she has settled down in Cape Cod and is leading a very HAPpy life. Karen is head of a big candy factory in Hartford now — she started the big four cent value in candy bars, you know! Joan Leubuscher's sister was Matron of Honor at Joannie's wedding shortly after she graduated from college. Lovely wedding.

"I think I will have some dessert, French pastries I think, I love them because I never can decide which one to take!

"I saw Nancy Sayres the other day. She worked on the "New York Times" for a while, and now she's writing a book called "New York Night Life." Sally Sessions wrote a book too, it's kind of a sequel to "Walden." Judy Palmer is another author — she wrote on the life of some doctor. She was very well informed on the subject and the critics are still raving.

"Oh, here are the pastries. I think I'll no, this one is oh dear, I never know well, I guess I'll take this one . . oh, what's in this one? Peppermint custard? Well, that sounds good, but . . . I think I'll take the other.

"Have you heard about Ann Weller? She's been over in Greece and she's hiked practically all over Europe. Priscilla Ketchell has been in Europe too, after all those years of French, she decided to go to France. She loves it and is thinking of staying there. No! You don't say! No. I hadn't heard. I knew Betsy Plough would marry, of course, but I never really thought Dartmouth would be her choice. Why, I think it's wonderful. Oh gosh, I almost forgot to tell you about Mary Panzica. She's one of New England's best poets. That's right, she is publishing a lot of them now. Wish I had taken the one with the peppermint custard in it. The waiter looked so cross though, that I just picked the nearest one.

"Julie Maranville? Oh, she. has started a photography studio and is really very successful. And Sally Shirk had her children photographed there and the pictures — and the children too, of course— were so beautiful that they're on exhibit! Yes, that's right,on exhibit.

"Say, have you heard anything about Pip? Well, what do you know! She went to Cornell? And married a professor? I saw a bunch of Northamptonites at the theater the other night — Eleanor Mahar, Marilyn Mirkin, and Kitty Ockenden. They say that the old town is still the same. They're not really Northamptonites any more though, because, well, because of Amherst, you know! Inez cap, tured M.I.T. and now all the Williams sisters are married. Rhonnie's business course helped her in more ways than one — she married her employer, isn't that nice?

"What, you have to go? Well, it's been wonderful seeing you! Yes, I'll call. Bye. Well! How do you like that — she left me with the bill and — just like ten years ago — I have no more money than a rabbit!"
