NORTHAMPTON SCHOOL FOR GIRLS NORTHAMPTON

MASSACHUSETTS

"Oh, Kitty, how nice it would be if we could only get through into Looking-Glass House! I'm sure it's got, oh! such beautiful things in it!"

P.

DEDICATION The choice for our yearbook dedication was a hard one. We had two entirely different people in mind, yet each one, in her own way, was worthy of it. And so, to truly represent the wishes of the class, we have dedicated the yearbook to both Miss Wilbur and to Mrs. Chrisman.

MISS WILBUR The name Miss Wilbur means quiet efficiency and thoughfulness, a pleasant smile and a spontaneous laugh. Her own sincere interest in her students and in her work itself is conveyed to everyone who has ever had her in class. So earnestly does she want her pupils to do well and so eagerly does she help them, that it is hard to disappoint her. In her patient and thorough-going manner, Miss Wilbur has made her courses not only interesting but very instructive. It is very hard not to learn something in one of her classes. We shall remember her for her fine teaching and her warm personality.

MRS. CHRISMAN Mrs. Chrisman was intensely interested in us as people and that beginning very the We saw from would work to help us solve our problems. Student Council turned to her as a source of sound advice and for moral support. Her cogent comments, her unending vitality and her wonderful sense of humor make her a respected and magnetic woman. Her stimulating classes have aroused the intellectual curiosity of many of her students. We think of her talks in chapel, the way she loved to continue class discussion after the bell had rung, and her funny stories taken from past experiences. Her ideas are new and her personality is refreshing. She has brought new life to Northampton.

Dear 1950.

You were born in a depression, as babies you were raised the hard and disciplined way, that is, if you cried it was probably temper and you "cried it out." You went to school where educators were experimenting in methods — reading, spelling, numbers; you lived through a war with rationing, black markets and often real tragedy, and then you came to Northampton. In spite of all this, you came out well, yes, very well, and we are proud to send you on to college.

Your class has much ability, ability in leadership, talent in writing, dramatics and art. Some of you show promise of real accomplishment. You go out into a world that needs the right kinds of leaders, needs writers and artists to interpret the finer values of life, needs adventurous souls to find better

ways of living, especially better ways of living together in a rather sorry world. Four years of college and then you will be ready to take your places. As you gave of your abilities in the varied activities of school life, may you continue to grow and contribute to college life and to life in the communities where you live and to the world at large.

Whether you were here for one, two, three or four years, we hope you will always feel that this is your school, that you will always be welcome here when you come back and that you will never lose your interest in all that goes on here at Pomeroy Terrace.

You will be affectionately remembered.

You will go with all our good wishes for a successful college career and many happy, effective years thereafter.

SENIORS

GRACE WALKLEY PORTER "Gracie" 2150 North Maple Road Tucson, Arizona Entered '49 White Team Student Council, Senior Class President '49-'50 Spanish Club '49-'50 Current Events Club '49-'50 Scribblers Club '49:50 Yearbook, Art Editor '49-'50 "The Stolen Prince" (backstage) One Act Plays (backstage) "Arsenic and Old Lace" (usher) Waite '49

"Curioser and curioser."

Grace came to Northampton as a senior and immediately made a place for herself. She became known for her exceptional ability in art, which displayed itself so beautifully on the screens she did for the one-act plays and in this yearbook. Gracie loves to discuss everything under the sun, and is eager to learn as much as she can. She has a charming naivete about her, combined with a very fine mind. It seems impossible that she could say anything mean about anybody, and we'll remember her for her friendliness and gracious smile.

Usually found: Hanging out the window Is: Always putting things off "You want to know something? ..."

GRETCHEN ELLEN BOUWSMA "Gretchen" 115 Elm Street Northampton, Massachusetts Entered '49 Green Team French Club '49-'50 Music Club'49-'50 Current Events Club '49-'50 Scribblers Club '49-'50 "The Stolen Prince"'49

"Maybe it's barley-sugar and such things that make children sweet-tempered."

If you hear anyone say "Now,in Lincoln..." you'll know it's our gal from Nebraska. She is apt to rush past you between classes, but won't forget to add,"What did you get in Comfort?"

On Monday nights she can always be found with a coke, a book, and the Lux Radio Theatre.

Whether her being a Michigan State fan has any connection with her sailing on Lake Michigan, we'll soon see. Don't be surprised if you see this friendly girl's name at the top of the list of golf champs in the future. She will be either teeing off or directing the Lincoln High Plays.

Tho' our New England weather doesn't compare with that of our fair Middle West, you may find her settled here. After all, Harvard isn't very far away.

N.EBRAS1 LA N coLei •

Usually found: Rushing to and from classes Is: Petite "The reason I didn't get H.H. this time is ..."

FRANCES JOY BROWN "Frannie" 25 Franklin Street Northampton, Massachusetts Entered '48 Green Team French Club '48-'50 Current Events Club '49-'50 "The Stolen Prince" '49 May Day Pageant '49

"'She's a dear, good creature,' he repeated softly to himself, as he opened his memorandum-book. 'Do you spell creature with a double (e)?'"

Apparently quiet, though actually very friendly, Frannie is a conscientious and dependable student. She is interested in nursing and we're sure she will make a very helpful "woman in white." Fran is interested in sports, namely basketball and archery, but her favorite pastime is photography. Hear a familiar giggle? It's her wonderful sense of humor coming but. Since Fran likes children, mothers call on her when they want a reliable baby-sitter.

Usually found: Eating Is: Harried "Hi 'ya, keed."

if

JACQUELYN ELLEN CONWAY "Jackie" 47 Broad Street Guilford, Connecticut Entered '48 White Team Student Council, President Lee House '49 Handbook Revision Committee '49 Current Events Club '48-'50 French Club '48-'50, Secretary Treasurer '49-'50 Soccer Team '49 Baccalaureate Choir '49 Waite '49 Social Committee '49-'50 Prom Committee '50

"'It was much pleasanter at home,' thought poor Alice."

During her two years at Hamp, Jackie has made herself known as a gal with a terrific sense of humor and a good head on her shoulders. Although vaguely unapproachable at first, Jackie has gathered about her many loyal friends. Thinking of Jackie brings to mind that cute corduroy outfit of pink and purple and her short, short haircut. When she's not playing bridge, Jackie is groaning over biology. This girl with the changeable heart is always fun at a party, especially when the Navy's around. Jackie can be counted on for good, sensible ideas and the ability to enjoy herself wherever she is.

Usually found: Avoiding mice Is: Always going downtown

"Are you coming, Evil?"

CLAUDIA COCKBURN DAVIS "Claudia" 96 Maynard Road Northampton, Massachusetts Entered '47 Green Team Student Council, Vice President '49 Day Girl Representative '50 Scribblers Club '49-50 Music Club '48-50, Librarian '48-'49, President '49-'50 Current Events Club '49-'50 Glee Club Librarian '49-50 Double Quartet '48-50 Baccalaureate Choir '49 May Day Pageant '48-'49 Waite '48-'49

"Alice remained looking thoughtfully at the mushroom for a minute, trying to make out which were the two sides of it; and as it was perfectly round, she found this a very difficult question."

It may seem that Claudia is always going to an orchestra rehearsal at Springfield or at Smith College, where she plays the clarinet. This is not really true. Besides being a talented musician, Claudia is a brilliant student, who is especially good in English. Conscientious and full of intellectual curiosity, there is also a lighter side to Claudia. On weekends you are very apt to find her partying in Northampton. She is a sincere and loyal friend, who has proved her capability as Vice-President and Day Girl representative of Student Council.

Usually found: In serious conversation Is: Interested in the University of Mass.

"Did you hear what Mrs. Chrisman 71 •••

MARIA CORNELIA deJONG "Mike" Pentislaan 1 Aerdenhout, Holland Entered '48 White Team, Captain '49 Student Council, President of Athletic Association '49-'50.

Current Events Club '48-'49 Music Club '48-'50, Treasurer '49 Scribblers Club '49-'50 Yearbook, co-editor '49-50 "Trial by Jury" '49 Soccer Team '48-'49 Double Quartet '48-'50 Bazaar '49 Waite '50

"They gazed in delight."

Mike, tall, slim, and slick, is Holland's gift to Hamp. She entered in the fall of '48 and soon proved her ability by excelling in athletics and in her studies. She is very enthusiastic and effective in all her undertakings. As a senior, she has done a terrific job as President of the Athletic Association and as Co-Editor of the yearbook. Her personality, sense of humor, and good looks have greatly contributed to her successful social life at Princeton and Yale.

Scribblers' Club has had a taste of Mike,'s gdod writing and we will all be sure to read her best sellers on life at the Fraternity party. Although she is Dutch, Mike was voted the typical American girl out of fifteen hundred on a boat to Europe. e

Usually found: In pajamas Is: Never a 'Party-Pooper' "Don't get physical with me."

SALLY TUCKER EARECKSON "Sal" Moscow, Pennsylvania Entered '49 White Team Current Events '49-50 Music Club Glee Club, President '49-50 Waite '49 Hockey Team '49 Pegasus Staff '49-'50 Scribblers Club '49-'50

"And she told them as well as she could remember them, all these strange adventures of hers."

We remember Sally for her long eye-lashes, sweet smile and sultry voice that seems to be singing right to you. Our songstress is a girl of varied talents who can fly an airplane, shoot a rifle and write a romantic short story. Sally is famous for her article about that eventful trip to Japan during Christmas vacation. She's "been around" literally, as well as figuratively, for she has lived in practically every spot in the world, including Alaska and Calcutta. Sal is the girl with the slim figure, the cute sense of humor and the complicated love life.

Usually found: Playing the piano Is: Always curling her hair "Aaaannn."

ti.

JEAN SHERWOOD FOWLER "Jean" 71 Elm Street Westerly, Rhode Island Entered '49 White Team Current Events Club '49-50 Hockey Team '49

"Now if you'll only attend, kitty, and not talk so much."

Jeannie's the gal who is famous for her tales of "those Harvard men" and is always goodnatured about the beggars who come to her door asking for food. If Jean ends up in the State Department it won't be surprising, for she certainly knows what is going on in the world.

She has an interest in everything, and found Mrs. Chrisman a marvelous outlet for her neversurpressed opinions. Jean is always willing to'do anything for anybody, and is a hardworker as well.

Usually found: At the typewriter Is: Enthusiastic "Would you like a candy bar?"

LIANE FREDRICKS "Liane" 4711 Fieldston Road New York, New York Entered '49 White Team Music Club '49-50 Social Committee '49-'50

"'You are a nice little girl,' the Dormouse said, 'and you sing so sweetly. I quite like you.'"

Liane's continual singing is indicative of her liappy and genial disposition which makes her so easy to get along with. She is always ready to give a helping hand or to say a pleasant word.

Those hours spent "making up her face" don't seem to be wasted, for those phone calls she gets almost every night aren't from her mother! Attracted to "older men," Liane would rather think about those wonderful times at home than do homework. On Sunday afternoon she has worked at the children's hospital, and she is especially fond of her nephews.

Usually found: Singing Is: Complimentary "He doesn't believe in writing letters, he just calls."

ELINOR ANN FREY "Ellie" 89 Monte Vista Avenue Ridgewood, New Jersey Entered '49 White Team Yearbook, Sandwich Committee '49-'50

"In one moment I've seeh what is enveloped in absolute mystery."

Although Ellie seems quiet and retiring she can be an interesting conversationalist. We laughingly remember her announcement in assembly to keep our candy bills on the right side of the decimal. Her large family means a great deal to her and she is fond of art, books and music. She has spent many hours in the art-room struggling over the slides of Gothic and Romanesque architecture. Girls on third floor recall how Ellie, fully dressed, washed her face with a bathing cap on, and her quick change into a very well-groomed girl over the weekends.

Usually found: Having a date Is: Fond of sledding "No, that's all-right."

MARY FRYMOYER "Mary," "Fry" 43 Granite Street Foxboro, Massachusetts Entered '48 Green Team Student Council, President of Hathaway '50 Glee Club, Librarian '49-50 Music Club '48-'50 Accompanist for Glee Club '49-'50 Current Events Club '49-'50 "Trial by Jury" '49 Waite '49 Double Quartet '49 Bazaar '48 Hockey Team '49 Tennis Team '49-'50 Baccalaureate Choir '49 Yearbook, Sandwich Committee '49-'50

"I'll do it as well as I can."

Mary is a seemingly quiet girl who hesitates to assert herself strongly. She is very conscientious about her school work but she also enjoys joining in on some of the second floor antics, skiing or playing tennis. Although she won't listen to a word of praise about her playing, she's a keyboard ball-of-fire. Miss Bidwell can always count on Mary to play in chapel, and we will never forget the time she had temporary amnesia and stumbled through every piece she started. Every night Mary tells herself she will go on a diet, but somehow she never does.

Usually found: Reminiscing about her dates last spring Is: Orderly "All the weight goes to my hips."

ANN LOUISE GORDON "Ann" 340 Chestnut Street West Newton, Massachusetts Entered '48 Green Team Riding Club, Secretary, '49-'50 Dramatic Club '49-'50 Current Events '49-'50 Music Club '49-'50 Hockey Team '49 Waite '49 Yearbook, Advertising, '49-'50

"'There ought to be some men moving about somewhere—and so there arel' she added in a tone of delight."

If you happen to see a black haired figure fleeting over to Scott on her way to a stuffed mailbox, you'll know it's little Annie. Seems she's always waving letters from her admirers under the noses of us poor unfortunates. Her weekends are a social whirl and she can be found at Harvard, Boston University, or any of the Boston night spots. Her sophisticated clothes give her that cocktail party look and even on weekdays the scent of 'Tabu' hovers about her. Rather than do her homework, Ann quickly puts on her long, green coat, and without waiting to tie her belt, she rushes downtown.

Usually found: In Sally's room Is: Always using her bed light "What's the matter with you?"

BARBARA COTTON GORHAM "Barb" 1317 West Grand River East Lansing, Michigan Entered '48 White Team Spanish Club '49-50 Current Events Club '49-'50 Dramatic Club '49-'50 "Arsenic and Old Lace" (usher) '50 Three-One-Act-Plays (assistant) '49 Yearbook, Photography and Advertising '49-'50 Soccer Team '48-49 Social Committee '49-50 Prom Committee '50 Waite '49

"'There ought to be some men moving about somewhere—and so there arel' she added in a tone of delight."

Hailing from East Lansing, Barb came to Hamp in the fall of 1948. Before long she became the envy of all dieters, and she is known for her glamorous legs. Her quietly pleasant personality and her poised manner win her many friends. We'll never forget all the pennies that went into her piggy bank and the way she looked in the red dress with the matching red shoes! During Barb's first year here quite a few boys were the proud owners of some of her argyles, but in her last year she seems to have one steady customer.

Usually found: Writing Bill Is: Unruffled "I think so too."

ROSEMARY BREWSTER HILLDRING "Peaches" 11 Ridgeway Circle White Plains, New York Entered '48 White Team Current Events Club '49-50 French Club '49-'50

"Eager eye and willing ear."

Peaches, or Rosemary, as she loves to be called, is the girl who took the DuBarry success course this summer. She has an endless knowledge of the meanings of English words, and reads a great deal, even though it is not always the best literature. It was so much fun playing bridge with yourself, wasn't it, Peaches? We think of Peaches as Isabelle's best friend and Ted's future wife, who will be the proud mother of twins. Rosemary has a peaches-and-cream complexion and a bright greeting for everyone.

Usually found: Making coffee

Is: A whiz in vocabulary "Hello."

JOANNE MARIE HULL "Joan" 64 Massasoit Street Northampton, Massachusetts Entered '49 Green Team Spanish Club '49:50

"She's kept none for herself, anyhow."

If anyone flies by you at 8:25 and asks,"Has the bell rung yet?" you may be sure it's Jo. Although she may wish she had taken French III, her fluent Spanish quips are South America bound. Do your summers at Pine Island have any connection with Pine Island, Jo? Our sports' fan says that the Hamp High games are as good as the Red Sox . . . well, maybe. If you have wondered who belongs to the frequent "Howdy" from the lab, it's our future dissecter of the Simpler Animals practicing up. Beware! You'll see her prancing to and from the Day Girls' room in Scott almost any hour. She's one of the quieter(?) ones.

Usually found: Talking Is: Very friendly "Is she giving us a biology test today?"

STEPHANIE WILMA KARMIOL "Stephie" 400 East 58th Street New York 22, New York Entered '49 White Team Christian Association Secretary-Treasurer '49-'50 French Club '49-50 Current Events Club '49-'50 Yearbook Advertising '49-'50 Scribblers Club '50

I can't tell you just now what the moral of that it, but I shall remember it in a bit,' said the Duchess."

Stephie's new to most of us this year, but actually she's an old timer at Hamp, for she's gone to summer school for two years. For a time, it seemed that Stephie was going to spend her senior year in the hospital, but when she returned we grew used to those friendly little announcements in assembly beginning, "Girls, . . ." Her ambition knows no bounds. This summer she plans working as a model and also hopes to do some community work with children in her home town, New York. Those packs of gum that she handed over to a council member . . . did you really stop chewing, Steph? And what about the cakes you buy in Northampton and take back with you in the train to save you 40 cents in'New York, and those three prunes you allow yourself every night? Stephie's the gal with the flaming red hair who finds it hard to get down to homework and is known as the walking French book.

Usually found: In Margie's room Is: Careful of her appearance

"It isn't the right thing to do."

BARBARA KENDALL "Barb" 22 Matheron Avenue Baldwin, New York Entered '48 Green Team Student Council, Secretary '49 French Club '49-'50 Music Club '49-'50 "The Stolen Prince" '49 Modern Dance Pageant '49 Baccalaureate Choir '49 Commencement Usher '49

"'Then you should say what you mean,' the March Hare went on. 'I do,' Alice hastily replied; 'at least—at least I mean what I say—that's the same thing, you know.'"

Here comes Quasimodo! Barb's the girl who stands at your door and say, "Hello!" with a sort of dreamy expression on her face. She's very fond of her dog and the Squibb Company, whose products she will heartily recommend. Mrs. Judd has tried hard to persuade Barb to join Scribblers, since she has proved her writing ability in Saturday morning vocabulary classes.

Barb loves to read and takes a rather philosophical, joking attitude about life and people that makes her personality refreshing. She can usually be found either splashing water on someone in the shower or over in Montgomery, chatting with Miss Bement.

Usually found: Wandering around second floor Is: Original "Really .. . I"

VALERIE FRANCES KENNEDY "Val" 229 Sagamore Road Millburn, New Jersey Entered '49 Green Team Treasurer of Senior Class '49-'50 Music Club '49-'50 French Club '49-'50 Current Events Club '49-50 The Stolen Prince" '49 Soccer Team Captain '49

"So she set to work and very soon finished off the cake."

Val is the girl who's always singing the "Cinderella Work Song," and thinks New Jersey is just wonderful. Val spends most of her time taking photographs with her flash camera.

We'll never forget the time she laughed so hard she just couldn't control herself. We recall the nice note she wrote her soccer team imbuing us with school spirit. One thing is sure— Val is never in her own room. She is always around with her cheery hello and is an attentive and appreciative audience.

Usually found: Amidst her history reference books Is: A New Jersey fan "Geeeeeez."

ANNE MARTHA LOVELY "Anne" 250 Main Street Easthampton, Massachusetts Entered '49 Green Team Student Council, Day Girl Representative '50 Spanish Club '49-'50 Scribblers Club '49-'50

"But the slightest approach to a faJse pretense was never among my crimes."

A girl who always has a pleasant word for everybody is Anne "Sis" Lovely. She has many good ideas and is never afraid to express her opinion. She has amused us many times in English with her stories, although her real interest lies in dramatics. Her class remembers her for her valiant fight for round necked blouses for the senior pictures. All the boarders are envious of that special odor which emanates from Anne and all her belongings. In spite of the fact that she lives in Easthampton, she is far from a Williston fan. Everyone is always surprised at how many years older she looks when she gets dressed up.

Usually found: In the lab after lunch Is: A riot "Now the way, I look at it is . . ."

EVELYN MAE LYMAN "Evie" 15 Castlewood Road West Hartford, Connecticut Entered '48 White Team Student Council, Christian Association President '49-'50 French Club '48-'50 Music Club '49-50 Current Events Club '49L'50 Soccer Team '49 May Day Pageant '49 Bazaar '49 Baccalaureate Choir '49 Commencement Usher '49 Waite '49

"'It looked good natured,' she thought."

At first you might think Evy is a quiet girl, but that's before you hear her contagious laugh.

Evy has spent many hours struggling over bridge and worrying about her French, but when her laundry box comes from home filled with her mother's wonderful homemade food she feels cheered-up. Evy has proved a very competent president of the Christian Association and an ever-cheerful friend. Evy is the one who always wants to go to sleep at those famous third floor parties. That's not because she doesn't like people—far from it—she's just tired.

Usually found: Entertaining late guests Is: Conscientious "I don't know when I'm going to get it done."

NUSA ANA ELENA MAAL SIERRA "Nusa" Apartado Aereo No. 308 Barranquilla Colombia, South America Entered '48 White Team French Club '48-'50 Current Events Club President '49-'50 Scribblers Club '49-'50 Pegasus Art Editor '49-50

"And, you'd have deserved it, you little, mischievous darling!"

Nusa's the girl who is graduating from Hamp with nineteen credits because she wanted to learn as much as possible before she went to college. She is terribly interested in journalism and tennis. It is hard to describe Nusa's moods of complete carefreeness in contrast to her more intense spurts. She is fun to talk with, but sometimes she becomes so determined about her point of view that it takes ten encyclopedias to prove she is wrong. However, once you have proved your case, she becomes as witty and as gay as ever. If she is not in her room reading Thoreau's biography she will be having one of her long talks with Mrs. Judd and Mrs. Chrisman. Her impetuous Latin temperament makes her fall in love easily and deeply.

Usually found: Green Street Is: Always in a hurry to get there "Is there any mail for me?"

LOLITA JANE MACHON 21 Lovefield Street Easthampton, Massachusetts Entered '49 White Team Spanish Club '49-'50

"'Well, I should like to be a little larger. said Alice: 'Three inches is such a wretched height to be.'"

Lolita, known for her wide blue eyes, is rather shy and quiet, but she observes and absorbs all. Her detailed diagrams and long life cycles are the envy of the biology students. She is always seen every morning balancing a load of books in one hand and mailing a letter to Bob, pronounced with a long "o", with the other. When she is not knitting, she is a tweenie at lunch. We hear you have good looking legs, Lee, but those long skirts you wear never give us a chance to see them!

Usually found: Putting on lipstick Is: Always writing letters "Heee says..."

ELLEN MARSH "Ellen" 62 Hillcrest Place Amherst, Massachusetts Entered '48 White Team Dramatic Club '49-'50 Music Club '48-50 Scribblers Club '49-50 Pegasus, Literary Editor '49-'50 Student Council, Day Girl Representative '49 "Overtones" (one-act) '48 "Our Hearts Were Young and Gay" '49 "Arsenic and Old Lace" '50 "Trial by Jury" '49 Waite '49 May Day Pageant '49 Commencement Marshal '49 Double Quartet '49-50 Middler Class Secretary '48-'49

"'And what is the use of a book,' thought Alice, 'without pictures or conversations?'"

Ellen's the girl with the two-colored eyes. When she's happy she beams and when she's distraught she says, "I have a problem." Ellen's a blond sprite with a high register laugh and many interests. She had a painting of hers exhibited in a Springfield gallery, was a delightful little old lady in "Arsenic and Old Lace" and has treated many a Scribber's meeting to her sometimes movingly serious, sometimes cleverly humorous poetry. Besides this, she sings and plays the piano and is an excellent student. A certain boy at Deerfield seems to appreciate her talents and cheerful disposition as well as all of Hamp.She has the ability of liking and of being liked.

Usually found: Doing a million and one things Is: Interested and interesting "Well!!!"

ANNA TILGHMAN MUNSELL "Nan" 75 Woodside Avenue Amherst, Massachusetts Entered '47 Green Team Junior Class Secretary '47-'48 French Club '47-'50 Scribbler Club '49-50 Christmas Pageant '47 Bazaar '47-48

"It seemed quite dull and stupid for life to go on the common way."

Nan has a quiet sense of humor and takes school life easily in her stride. She never seems to worry about anything, but nevertheless accomplishes a good deal. She has a chuckle and a witty remark for any occasion, if you can get to know her well enough to hear it. She surprised everybody by announcing her engagement to an Amherst professor during Christmas vacation of her senior year.

Usually found: At home Is: Industrious "I want to go to Wellesley."

PATRICIA ANNIE NEWTON "Pat" 83 Pomeroy Terrace Northampton, Massachusetts Entered '47 Green Team Waite '48-49 Christmas Pageant '47 May Day Pageant '48-'49 Bazaar '47-48-49

"Let's go on with the game."

Pat Newton is the blonde girl whom you see striding about Scott Hall stopping to laugh uproatiously with her friends over some joke, or hurrying off to gym ready to defeat any opponent that comes her way. Pat is very athletic, and well coordinated, and not the one to throw the ball to in basketball. She's a day girl who is practically a boarder, because she lives across the street from the campus. Pat's very blonde hair is anyone's envy. Her gay laugh and ridiculous imitations of teachers and friends cause many an uproar in the otherwise sombre library. But she is a hard worker too, as can be guessed from the groans that come from behind her books. Pat is a very loyal and reliable friend who will have a good time in life.

Usually found: Crossing Pomeroy Terrace Is: Athletic "I know it!"

JUDY OPENSHAW "Judy" Elm Street Southampton, Massachusetts Entered '46 Green Team Spanish Club '48-'49 Junior Class President '48-49 Soccer Team '49 Christmas Pageant '47-'48 Bazaar '47-'48-'49

"What a clear way you have of putting things."

Judy may seem to lead a quiet life but she has many outside activities. She skiis and skates on weekends. She really enjoys the active part she takes in church goings-on. She can always be counted on for an interesting comment on her father's factory and on hometown politics in History class. Those boarders who spent the weekend with her at Juniper Hill this winter really got to know her and found that she was a lot of fun.

Usually found: Skiing Is: Practical "Shhhh."

MADELINE BARBARA RICKER "Dutch" 102 Lewis Avenue Walpole, Massachusetts Entered '48 Green Team, Captain '49 Student Council Proctor '48-'49, President '49-50 Dramatic Club '49-'50 Music Club '48-'50 Spanish Club '49-'50 Yearbook Advertising '49-'50 "Our Hearts Were Young and Gay" (backstage) '49 "Trial by Jury" '49 Hockey Team '48-49 Tennis Team '49 Bazaar '48 Christmas Pageant (backstage) '48 Wassail Bearer '48-'49 Waite '48-'49 Handbook Revision Committee '49 Double Quartet '49-'50 Commencement Marshal '49

"Alice was very anxious to be of use."

Hamp will long remember the swinging stride and everlastingly bright smile that belong to our Dutch. And what about Walpole and Uncle Clif, whose turkeys and hams were so appreciated in Lee, and then in Hathaway? Dutch is associated mostly with Student Council and all it stands for. It will be a long time before we forget her loyalty, her friendliness, and her marvelous sense of humor. She is a sincere and spontaneous friend who shows no favoritism. Whenever there is a job to be done, she is sure to be on the spot to get it done quickly and efficiently.

Usually found: Amusing and being amused Is: Just plain terrific "I was so embarrassed!"

JANET MARIE ROWE "Jan," "Jannie" West Hill Athol, Massachusetts Entered '47 White Team, Captain '49-'50 Student Council Proctor '47-'48 Vice-President of Middler Class '48-49 Dramatic Club '48-'50, Stage Manager '49-'50 French Club '47-'50 Spanish Club '48-49 Riding Club '48-'49 Current Events Club '48-50 Tennis Team '48-'50 Soccer.

"You might make a joke out of that—something about 'horse' and 'hoarse', you know."

Jan is a firm believer in the anything-for-a-laugh policy. We still remember the day she pulled

the chair out from under an unsuspecting victim in the dining-room and her hilariously deadpan portrayal of the Chinaman in the fall one-act plays. Yet underneath this carefree exterior there is a real head for business and the ability to get things done. Jan's room is the place to find an inexhaustible supply of food. Almost as well-known as Jan herself is her father, who has treated many a girl to an entertaining meal away from school. As the spark-plug of the Social Committee, and on her own also, she has worked to keep up Hamp-Williston relations.

Usually found: Exchanging news Is: Fun to be with "Right?"

PRISCILLA CHRISTINE RUDER "Pris" 54 Snell Street Amherst, Massachusetts Entered '49 Green Team Student Council Day-girl Representative '49 Vice-President '50 Music Club '49-'50 Scribblers '49-50 Senior Class Secretary '49-50 Double Quartet '49-'50 Wassailer '49 Santa Claus '49 Waite '49

"He chortled in his joy."

A burst of gaiety rushes around the corner and Pris Ruder bumps into you. Inevitably she will stop and chat for a few minutes about her last date at Princeton, Brown, Amherst or Wesleyan.

You realize from her quick wit why she has so many dates. Pris has also been a wonderful spokesman for the day girls and has stood up for them in every Student Council meeting. Her home has been a welcome haven for the senior boarders and those who visited her remember her excellent choice of blind dates from Amherst. But Pris now rushes on again, for she has parked her car in front of the driveway and must give it her immediate attention.

Usually found: At fraternity parties Is: A great teller of jokes "I'll never forget the time ..."

NANCY COKE SMITH "Nan," "Nannie" 231 East 62 Street New York 21, New York Entered '47 Green Team Student Council—Stronach House President '47 Social Secretary '49-50 Dramatic Club '50 Current Events Club '47-'50 French Club '47-'50 Yearbook Staff—Middler Class Representative '48-'49 Literary Editor '49-'50 "Overtones" '48 "Our Hearts Were Young and Gay" '49 "Stolen Prince" '49 "Arsenic and Old Lace" '50 "Trial by Jury" '49 Soccer Team '47-'50 Bazaar '47-'48-'49 Waite '49 President of Middler Class Pagasus Staff—Circulating Editor '48-'49 Editor-in-chief '49-'50 Social Committee '49-'50 Baccalaureate Choir '48 Christmas Banquet Mummer '47 May Day Pageant '48-'49 Scribblers '49-'50

••••

"'Oh,' said Alice to the White Rabbit, 'The world is so full of interesting things. May I see them all, please.'"

That room! Pegasus proofs here, French books there, Biology cycles flying and the Yearbook quotes missing. When, in all this mess we are able to find Nancy, we see many of her good traits. Somehow she always gets things done quickly and efficiently when she settles down to do them. We can never forget her very own style of wit which was so marvellous yet received the brunt of so much good-natured teasing. Yet her room was always open to everyone and the focal point of much merriment. Her carefree attitude was sometimes a bit exasperating to the teachers for she could never take a scolding seriously. Although Nannie was continually saying she was "broke," we could always depend on her to treat us to a "coke." Most of all we remember her highly original style of writing which turned out a wonderful Pegasus year.

Usually found: Being teased Is: A terrific sport about it "Nancy, that wasn't very funny."

JEAN ELIZABETH TOBIN "Jean" 91 Prospect Avenue Northampton, Massachusetts Entered '49 Green Team Spanish Club '49-'50

"She saw Rabbit and stopped in her usual cheery manner to say 'Hello' and pass the time of day.".

Jean, a day student from Northampton, came as a senior and is well-known here at school for her friendliness and sense of humor as she is in town. Biology students remember that while she gave her interesting Science Newsletter reports she shifted from one foot to another as though she were waiting for a bus. She is a diligent student, whose cheerful smile and conscientiousness will make her a wonderful woman in white.

Usually found: Looking at the bulletin board Is: The girl with a subtle humor "Saay now."

NORMA JEAN VAILLANCOURT "Norma" 38 Gothic Street Northampton, Massachusetts Entered '49 Green Team Senior Class Vice President '49-'50 Music Club '49-'50 Yearbook Photography Editor '49-'50 "Arsenic and Old Lace" (understudy) '50

"You make me laugh so hard."

Norma is .a gifl with a ready chuckle and an irrepressible vitality. Her friendliness and keen enjoyment of other people have made her many friends. Although she is a day girl, Norma has taken part in school activities and has gone out of her way to win the friendship of the boarders.

She worked at Todd's during Christmas vacation and spends her evenings during weeknights at the switchboard. Norma would much rather laugh and joke than get down to work. Norma has a passing interest in many things but no intense liking for anything in particular.

Usually found: In the office Is: Always happy "That's the way we did it in high school."

MARGUERITE HELEN VELTE "Margie" 59 Grove Avenue Albany, New York Entered '47 Green Team Current Events Club '49-50 Scribblers Club '49:50 French Club '48-'50; President '50 Pagasus '49-'50; Alumnae Editor '50 Baccalaureate Choir '48-'49 Waite '49

"Now you talk like a reasonable child."

Margie is hard to get to know in the sense that one must live with her in order to really understand her. She is brilliant but her mind is a lesger endowment. A good pianist, she is now learning how to play the organ. Margie is known for her gentle ways and her eagerness to please. She loves to read and to knit, and has many stories to tell of her experiences as a teacher's daughter at Darrow School. Margie seemed to get her work done effortlessly and left tests hours before anyone else.

Usually found: Knitting Is: Quietly efficient "I don't know."

ELIZABETH STEELE WH1TRIDGE "Betty," "Whit" Wilson Point South Norwalk, Connecticut Entered '49 White Team Student Council Secretary '50 Athletic Association Treasurer '49-'50 Yearbook Co-editor '49-'50 Scribblers Club '49-'50 "Arsenic and Old Lace" (usher) '50 Social Committee '49-'50

"'What a quiet little girl,' Alice said. But that was before they became acquainted."

Betty in action on a tennis court is something to see, but her abilities, athletic or otherwise, certainly don't end there. We will remember Whit for her letter-writing, the conscientious way she did her homework, and for her patient answers to the dozens who were always asking about assignments. She takes a keen interest in any fun which is brewing. Betty spends her time at school getting her assignments carefully and thoroughly done, but when the weekends come around and she goes home . . . well! One thing is sure, she doesn't spend her time with a good book!

Usually fould: Looking for trouble Is: Quiet about it "Check that!"

PATRICIA ANN WILLIAMS "Patsy" 33 Ballygynge Pk. Calcutta, India '47 Entered Green Team Junior Class Secretary '47-'48 Spanish Club '47-48 Current Events Club '47-'50 French Club '48-'50 Pegasus Staff '49-'50 "Janie" (back-stage) '47 "Our Hearts Were Young and Gay" (usher) '49 Three One-Act Plays (usher) '49 Soccer Team '47-'48 Bazaar '47-'48 Christmas Pageant '47 May Day Pageant '47-'48 Baccalaureate Choir '48-'49

"In his confusion he bit a large piece out of his teacup instead of the bread and butter."

Chile, Mexico, India and the U.S.A.—all have been homes for Patsy. Not only is she welltraveled, but just listen to the Spanish she reels of! At Hamp for three years, Pat's blond hair, swimming prowess, and letters from Calcutta soon became envied attributes. Her sharp sense of humor and her willingness to laugh at herself are what we like about Pats. Don't get Patsy in an argument, for although she secretly sees your point of view, she refuses to give in.

We'll remember Patsy for her laugh that burst out at the slightest provocation and her thoughtfulness.

Usually found: Laughing Is: Gullible "This assignment is so dif-ficult!"

SUZANNE KIMBALL WILSON "Susie" 22 Southwick Road Waban, Massachusetts Entered '48 Green Team Spanish Club '48-50, President '50 Dramatic Club '48-'50, President '50 Current Events Club '49-'50 Pegasus Staff '49-'50 Yearbook Advertising '49-'50 "Our Hearts Were Young and Gay" (usher) '49 "Trial by Jury" (backstage) '49 "Arsenic and Old Lace" (backstage) '50 Three One-Act Plays (assistant) '49 Prom Committee '50 Commencement Usher '49 Baccalaureate Usher '49 Social Committee '49-'50 Variety Show '48 Waite '49

"Always to have lessons to learn—Oh, I shouldn't like that!"

"One bacon, lettuce and tomato, please." That is Susie's pass-word for Monday lunch. This pretty gal has shown her popularity as President of the Dramatic and Spanish clubs. She has a bubbling laugh that can be heard echoing through the halls of Hathaway. Her father is that famous Wilson of General Electric, and Susie never gives up trying to sell us his products.

Susie is always ready to be a fourth in bridge, but she'll ask you please not to offer her any food.

We'll remember Susie for her good-naturedness, her willingness to pitch in and those long curly eyelashes.

Usually found: Brushing her hair IS: A teetotaler "Geez-Louise."

JANE WOHLGEMUTH "Janie," "Wiggle" 3 Westover Place Lawrence, New York Entered '48 Green Team, Captain '49-'50 Spanish Club '48-50, Sec.-Treas. '49-'50 Dramatic Club '48-'50, Sec.-Treas.

"Language is worth a thousand pounds a word."

Janie Wigglemouth is the girl seen running through Hathaway hall scantily clad in the bare essentials. Never at a loss for words, Janie's entertaining conversation is punctuated by outbursts of laughter. She is always ready to come up with some fact of life that nobody else knows.

In spite of her difficulty with Latin III at the beginning of her Middler year, she was soon on the honor roll. She is "crazy about the theatre" and we have all heard about her experiences at dramatic camp during the summer and her interview with a South Pacific star, whose picture adorns her mirror. She seems to get her work done with a minimum of effort, and has a great fund of general knowledge.

Usually found: Playing bridge Is: Excitable "Has anybody got any food?"

A few days ago I was taking a walk in the woods when, to my great surprise, I bumped into the White Rabbitt singing.

"Twinkle, twinkle, little bat!

How I wonder what you're at!

Up above the world you fly, Like a tea tray in the sky."

He was just about to repeat the verse when I interrupted him to ask where he was going. He was on the way to the Mad Tea Party and wanted me to join him. When we arrived at the Party, the Mad Hatter immediately called out, "No room, no room!", but I thought that was awfully silly since there were at least ten extra places, so I sat down and we began to talk about the old days.

The Mad Hatter began by saying that he had recently been to a luncheon party given by Frances Brown. Norma Vaillancourt was supposed to have been there but she had been so absorbed reading humor magazines in the University of Massachusetts library that she had completely forgotten to come. Barbara Kendall had stayed upstairs for she was still taking a bath. While the Hatter was there, Mary Frymoyer came in to tune the piano, and Nancy Smith bumped by on a bicycle with a flat tire, to deliver the daily paper. After the luncheon, the Hatter made a tour of the garden and to his great surprise he found Nusa Maal rolling the tennis courts.

At this point he shook the Dormouse, who had been asleep all the time. The Dormouse half opened his eyes and said that he had seen Janet Rowe working as jan-itress of the local court house. Then he fell asleep once more, humming softly to himself and muttering something about how Liane Fredericks could use this tune for the music boxes she was making for birthday cakes.

"You haven't added much to the conversation, Alice," said the March Hare, suddenly jumping up and pointing at me. "Let's move up one space so I will have a fresh teacup. Then you tell us what you've seen."

We changed seats and I began to tell them about my latest adventures. I had been to Europe and on the way over, on the S.S. Missouri, I had bumped into Jackie Conway scrubbing the decks. My first stop had been England where I saw Nan Munsell eating crumpets at an Oxford tea. In Paris I was amazed to see Mike de Jong managing Claude Luter's jazz band, and Ellen Marsh in a heated argument about literature, art, and the theater in a small cafe on the Left Bank. From Paris I went to India where Patsy Williams was teaching the "Untouchables" how to ski. From India I travelled to China where I saw Sally Eareckson as an assistant to the assistant co-pilot on a "Junk" on the "Yank-see." In California I saw huge mascara posters of Lolita Machon. From California I went to Arizona. Here I met Claudia Davis doing archeology work around the Navaho reservations and Grace Porter was extending the Grand Canyon to test the durability of "Eureka" shovels. In Michigan Barbara Gorham sold me a new Oldsmobile and on the way down to New York I stopped in Gretchen Bouwsma's recently established "History of Art Library" to admire her beautiful collection of books. As I was leaving, she handed me a copy of Rosemary Hilldring's new Collegiate Dictionary. In New York I went to "South Pacific," and was amazed to see that Jane Wohlgemuth was Betta St. John's successor. During intermission Stephanie Karmiol collected money to set up a French school in lower Slobovia. In my new car I drove down to Florida where Dutch Ricker was majoring in underwater basket weaving, and Jean Tobin was giving the life guards a course in artificial respiration.

Finally I returned to Massachusetts and heard Ann Gordon singing "Careless Hands" at the College Inn in Boston. Susie Wilson had a column in the Boston Herald giving advice to the lovelorn. One day I went to a town meeting in Easthampton, and Judy Openshaw suddenly jumped up in the front row to express her opinion on the plans for a new sanding machine. And on the drive back to Boston I stopped in at the Girl Scout Camp to hear Valerie Kennedy play the evening taps. I also hoped to see Priscilla Ruder and Joanne Hull. Joan was keeping house and sending her boys to Deerfield, but Pris was away on a tour with Bob Hope. In Boston I saw the Red Sox baseball game and Pat Newton was pitching. I also met Jean Fowler who told me she was the new senator from Rhode Island. She asked me down to her home for a weekend and from her I learned that Evie Lyman had set up a large store to import foreign food stuffs, Ellie Frey was bending pretzels in a paper clip factory, Margie Velte was selling "Velte-Seltzer" in the Svelt, and Ann Lovely was head of the "League of Women's Voters."

After this pleasant visit, I returned to my home and was very thankful that Betty Whitridge had invented an automatic letter-writing machine for me to write my thank-you notes on.

After relating all this, I looked about to see if everyone had enjoyed my story. The Dormouse was asleep, and the Mad Hatter had fallen head-first into his cup of tea. The March Hare was twisted crazily around his chair. He,too, was in deep slumber.
