Full of noble device, of all sorts enchantingly beloved

This book is dedicated to Helen Wallis, IN MEMORIAM, as a small example of the appreciation we hold in our thoughts. We remember Wally skipping around the gym field to crown the May Queen—making her nightly rounds to "tuck us in"—arranging the row of rubbers in the front hall—getting our mail, and our trip tickets...She helped us in the many ways that made our lives easier and ',happier. There was a genuine interest for each of us that can never be forgotten. We loved her for her patience, childlike faith, and sincerity. She has left a place in us and in the school which cannot be filled.

A stage where every man must play a part

Our revels now are ended.

The curtains are closing on our first important play. What the critics will say of this production is not yet known. It has been far from perfect. We have worried our directors sometimes, by missing cues, contradicting stage directions, making ill-timed entrances, and spotlighting the wrong actions. Still they may be proud of us, for our play was not exexpected to stage well.

We love the theatre where we learned to act; we always will. Now we must move on to the many theatres which will claim us. But this stage will not be empty. After a short pause, another play will begin. As we take our curtain call, we hope that the directors, actors, and the audience will enjoy themselves during the intermission. To the coming troupe we say, have fun with your production or it will not be a success.

What is love? 'tis not hereafter Present mirth hath present laughter What's to come is still unsure.

In delay there lies no plenty Come and kiss me, sweet and twenty Youth's a stuff that won't endure.

These are counsellors That feelingly persuade me what I am

Miss Beatty:

Our little life Is rounded with a sleep.

Miss Bement:

Schoolmasters will I keep within my house Fit to instruct her youth.

Miss Bidwell:

I know she taketh most delight In music, instruments, and poetry.

Miss Blaicher:

Cunning in Greek, Latin and other languages.

Mrs. Blaicher:

... of worth and worthy estimation

Miss Bora:

I can tell you where that saying was born, of "I fear no colors."

Mrs. Churchill:

Eat and drink as friends

Miss Dunham:

Indeed the top of admiration.

Miss Goding:

But they shall find, awaked in such a kind Both strength of limb and policy of mind.

Mrs. Green:

Mrs. Jameson:

Well read in poetry And other books, good ones I'll warrant you.

Miss Logan:

Send for money, knight.

Miss Maule:

I come to know your pleasure.

Mrs. Partridge:

Frame your mind to mirth and merriment.

Mrs. Pearce:

Knowing aforehand of our merriment.

Mrs. Salador:

Her very silence and patience speak to the people.

... there's goodly catching of colds

Miss Whitaker:

Thy words are too precious.

Miss Young:

By Jove, I always took three threes for nine,

Greetings to the Class of 1953. Another year has rolled around and another class, the twenty-ninth class, is about to graduate from the Northampton School for Girls. It is interesting for us to look back over the years and to think of each class and remember how it looked and what it did.

It is amazing how much alike these classes seem to have been—the hair has lengthened and shortened, the skirts have done the same, but the girls themselves have changed very little. I do not believe that it is because when you come here you are fitted into a pattern, but because each class has come with high ideals for their school, has found congenial companionship and eagerly looked forward to college as the next step. The Class of 1953 has been no exception. You have brought the best in your lives to your school, you have found friends who will be dear to you all your lives and you are eager for what the future has in store.

It is our wish that you carry on to college and all through life the fine spirit that has made 1953 such a wonderful class.

Our love and good wishes go with you, The Principals

IN APPRECIATION

Miss Goding Miss Goding has given history a practical and vital significance for us in relation to world affairs today.

Her classes have broadened our minds and helped us to understand "why."

Mrs. Salador For two years Mrs. Salador's friendly smile and interesting sidelights-on-subjects have brightened the lab.

Now she is to leave us. We wish her every success in her new career.

Mr. Tonet When we arrived as new girls, Tonet's constant helpfulness, not to mention his pipe, made us feel right at home. Though we are sorry to leave him, it is good to know that others will be welcomed to the school as we were.

All the world's a stage And all the men and women merely players They have their exits and their entrances And one man in his time plays many Parts.

Glad of other men's good.

CLASS HISTORY June 1, 1953, finds Will taking one last look over our much cherished school grounds. He notices as he surveys his surroundings that the leaves are very thick, and he thinks, "If I were to begin to rake them, I should surely have a chance to look over every last square inch of the school." And thus it is that Will works and whistles to the tune of "Pomp and Circumstance." Suddenly he is struck by a strange coindence: their veins are in script. And furthermore, each accounts one of the year's events. Will turns over each leaf slowly now, and relives the experienecs of '53. And so they went:

Hardly had the old girls exchanged hello's and hung their banners before the newcomers arrived and settled into the school. There were picnics, with hot dogs and dodge ball games. Then came the old girls' party, an hilarious evening complete with radio broadcasts, styles of the 1920's, and musical chairs! New books were doled out, classes began and the schedule squirmed until all the Frenches and Bibles were fitted in. Banquets popped forth from every corner. The gavel sounded and our government went into action. The whistle blew and tennis, hockey and soccer overran our grounds.

The band played and both Williston and N.S.F.G. were hosts at dances. First the "Shipwreck" with all its balloons, and then our Student Council affair with oh, so much food. Masque and Wig held tryouts for Twelfth Night, and before we realized it, curtain time was at hand. Next day our Angelus Bell was dedicated; a lovely ceremony. Bazaar followed, with brownies, letter paper, and the Juniors' play. At the same time Scott resounded with eighty voices and the Christmas Concert was being rehearsed. We "Jingle-Belled" and "Adoroed" 'til we could err no more and then we

performed and it was great fun. Christmas was upon us and before we thought about packing bags and checking train schedules, we went to the Christmas banquet at Wiggins'. From Boar's Head to Wassailers, turkey to carols, it was great fun; we enjoyed the good old tradition. We'd reached the eighth and it was time to go home.

In the winter, trips to the colleges began and speakers and interviewers came to the school. What a dither we were in! Should it be Vassar or the University of Honga Donga ? Hamp's basketball brought occasional hoopers, but more often floor burns. While all this went on we trudged Tuesdaily to the pool. Snow fell, so off to the mountains on a fun-packed ski weekend.- A rat-race followed. Sundays were occupied by rehearsals for Ladies of the Jury with Williston. The Munson Concert and Loomis Religious Conference came at the end of the term as we were studying madly for College Boards.

During vacation we collected odds and ends and at our return, they were auctioned

for the benefit of "Pegasus" and Yearbook. How wonderful it was to trip over to Williston operetta rehearsals in gay cotton dresses and comfy Capezios! The Prom season was at hand. We waltzed through week-ends at both N.S.F.G. and Williston. The gardens were sprouting and the pageant dancers rehearsing. And then came the day when our May Queen appeared and the pageant took place. So soon we would be graduating! Classes were infested with a common sort of fever, 'til all of a sudden we were singing on Phoenix Night. Baccalaureate followed, leaving us full of fond memories, and the Middlers took our place on the steps. We were enjoying our last minutes of Seniorship when we marched out, red roses in hand. We were graduates of Northampton School! Lunch was eaten lightly, and so quickly, it seemed. Our goodbyes were many and long, but finally we drove off from our happy prep school days.

Will looked at his pile. What a momentous and joyful story was told by the leaves of the elm! Then he also tripped on.

The/world's mine oyster which I with sword will open

CLASS PROPHECY William walked quickly, for he was excited. Up the path, through the clouds, and into the future. A field of daisies showed the way. Plump grapes and nuts were wanting to be gathered. Children could be heard in the distance, chanting their singsong rhymes. A rabbit scampered shyly past. Yes, this was the Spring of Life! Of that Will was certain. A peppermint cloud moulded itself to Will's body, and he relaxed with a smile, allowing himself to be floated gently upward. Many thoughts were in his mind. Again he felt the glow of pleasure from guiding the class of '53 through Leaves of the Elm. He hoped they would not mind his joining their reunion now.

After all, he wouldn't take up much space, and they did love him. Hadn't they made tea and crumpets for him once? Will was sure of it.

But, oh! There's Will falling head over heels. With a jerk, his suspenders caught on a rose tree, and for a moment he bounced up and down. "This is a fine way for a chap to land. If I don't get out of this tree soon, I shall be late ... oh, and I do so want to see the class of '53 again." And with a snap Will's suspenders broke, and he landed with a THUD. Someone was running down the path. "Will. Oh, there you are; we've been expecting you." ... "Why, I remember you; you're Rhoda T. ... the nurse who has been doing such wonderful work with children. Oh, 'oh, oh, I think I feel a bit bruised." ... "Do hurry, Mr. Will." And with that, he found himself on the castle steps. A young woman stood nearby, and looked perplexedly at a piece of cardboard. She turned suddenly. "Oh, Will, I have a wonderful bargain for you. A trip up Pike's Peak on my own sightseeing tour,'Go in a Whiz with Liz.'" "Really, Miss Liz, I'm not too fond of climbing. I seem to have had a bit of a jolt today."

Het was inside now. At first glance, Will could see that the group was a varied one. The voices were indistinguishable. "Wait a moment, I hear a speech." Through the crowd came Betsy W. "Mr. Shakespeare, have you thought about voting the Republican party ticket?" Will now remembered having heard that Betsy was running for

the New Jersey governorship. "Miss Betsy, you forget that I am a staunch member of the British Labor party." Will walked on and joined a group in the corner chatting busily. Judy G. was telling about her social work in Israel. Now Clare T. spoke. It seems that she is in charge of a local Girl Scout troop. Cindy B. began to tell about the day nursery she has begun in her home. Joan P. had many interesting stories to tell about her Sunday School classes. It pleased Will very much to see how well his children understood people.

A graceful young lady in a blue chiffon gown was playing the violin in the sun parlor. "Oh Mr. Will," said Dinny B., "won't you please come and listen? I'm practising for my new concert." Will listened and the birds sang, because it really was very nice. In the lounge Nina P. and Betsy V. were comparing notes on horse breeding.

Nina has a ranch in the west and Betsy's farm is in Kentucky. They both have hopefuls for the Derby. Joan G. is passing out her latest cocktail invention for sampling. "No thanks, Miss Joan, I really prefer tea." And there was Carol L. "Mr. Will, I'm organizing a new expedition ... this time tc Tibet. Won't you come along? I have an extra yak you can ride." "I think I would rather stay on the ground. You see, my suspenders have broken and I really am quite fragile."

At this, Ley B. stepped up to Will and said, "Why don't you ease into one of these chairs for a few minutes? Our latest experiments in psychology show that relaxation puts all mental and physical aches to rest." Will at down and picked up a magazine from the table, then thumbed through the pages. He noticed just inside the cover a big advertisement for Claire C.'s Long Island beach club which read, "Visit the cashiest, splashiest, happiest club in the East." A few pages further there was a two-page spread for the J. Silin movie theaters, represented in each of the forty-eight states. Mary MacL. had done the designing and layout for the magazine. Lou S. appeared on several pages. She's one of the top models in the country. Will looked up from his magazine and saw them moving about in the crowd.

In the reading room Lois S. was practicing for her latest play, "The Maid." "Oh, and there's Marcia W.," said Will. "She has just given me a copy of Cher recently published 'Guidebook of New England.'" Sue S., who is working as a ballet critic on a big New York paper came into view. There was a commotion in the corner. Will went over 'there. Kim Van D. was setting up a one-woman art exhibit. "Mr. Will, would you like a modern painting?" ... "If you could paint an English fog, I think I might enjoy it." Nancy B. had just purchased a picture for ber New York skyscraper apartment. She is working as an airline stewardess in the summertime. "It's hard to keep these young ones on the ground," Will muttered.

Barbara H. was also there. She is happily settled and adding new generations to an old New England family. One person in particular was more active than the rest.

This was Dru F. She dashed through the crowd, taking pictures for Life magazine.

"Where is Jean R.?" ... i"Oh, she is outside, sliding down a cloud." Will went out into the gardens. Natalie F. and Penny A. were beside the fountain, comparing notes on education. Nat is a professor at the U. of Michigan; Penny is teaching the children of Samoa, and both are doing very well. A messenger rode along the path and gave Will two telegrams. The first was from Nancy M., who was unable to get to the reunion. She sent greetings from the American Embassy in Mexico, where she works. The second was from the deep, deep South, where Kay A. and her sizeable family have set up a highly successful museum for relics of the early Confederate days.

Will,went under a rose arbor and on the other side found Sue R. picking daisies for her prize collection. Close by there were '53-ers swimming in a sky-water pool. Judy M. had lately been chosen "Mrs. America '73" and was exhibiting the latest bathing suit fashion, a plastic affair. Debbie W. had brought along her prospective camp staff and was putting it through vigorous aquatic training. And there was Gail W., still thinking she'd been born a fish, and trying to live off seaweed, breathing without air. She managed to catch Will's attention and, lo and behold, soon he had caught the fever!

Sylvia R. thought Will should hear Mary W., England's version of Danny Kaye, so she offered her helicopter service, and to our great amazement Will accepted happily.

The concert was much Appreciated and Sigrid K.'s electric piano recital put Will in fine spirits to say a fond farewell to all. With this done, he hopped on the nearest star and down he shot to the earth below.

Here is everything advantageous to life

The Student Council had very few big problems to deal with this year, but was nevertheles very active. The library and cookie situations were settled at last and we bought Hathaway a much needed pencil sharpener by collecting light fines. Several new privileges were introduced. In February we gave a very successful house dance, hoping to augment our treasury. Tuesday morning prayers were conducted by council members again this year.

Christian Association

I hold the olive in my hand; My words are as full of peace as matter.

The busiest time of the year for the Christian Association was just before the winter holidays. We sponsored the annual Christmas Bazaar. The proceeds were donated to the local Community Chest. Besides supporting different charities, C. A. chose girls to represent the school at religious conferences at various schools, among which were Northfield and Loomis.

G. Wright (sect.), C. Bartlett (pres.)

Athletic Association

There be some sports are painful, and their labour Delight in them sets off.

The Athletic Association, with the assistance of Miss Beatty, planned the school sports program and arranged meets with other schools. Throughout the fall and winter hockey, soccer, basketball, and tennis games were played with other schools. A few useful articles were purchased with the A.A. dues.

Front Row: C. Bartlett, D. Brown Back Row: S. Ruder (pres.), L. Sackett (sect.)

Mask and Wig

Have you the lion's part written?

Pray you, if it be, give it me, For I am slow of study.

Masque and Wig's first production, Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, was presented in November in the gym. At Christmas we incorporated the newly dedicated Angelus bell in the annual pageant. During the winter we produced Ladies of the Jury in cooperation with Williston. After spring vacation a reading for parents' day and a commencement play were planned.

Pegasus

I might not he admitted.

"Pegasus" broke even financially in this, its second year of selfsupport. The members gained immeasurably in experience, not to mention fun, which (it was hoped) the readers shared. Eight issues, large and small, were published during the year, as was the first "extra" in the paper's history.

Yearbook Staff

and be my aid For such disguise as haply may become The form of my intent.

"Sandwiches for sale" and "Joint Staff in the big English room." Both mean that the Yearbook Staff is again at work. We not only know the price of bologna and cheese, but quotations by the bushel. There were times when we did not think we would make it.

The Art Club is an enthusiastic group headed by Miss Bornt and Nancy Byerly.

More exhibits and art movies have been planned for the future.

Current Events Club

We are politicians....

We became semi-weekly movie-goers with the help of Life film strips. The election and inauguration were points of high interest. At Christmas time we learned where Lithuania belonged and in the Spring studied the United Nations. The climax was our May trip to the U. N. Assembly where we tuned in on a dozen different languages and witnessed international government in action.

Blow, blow, thou winter wind
