Hand in hand we come Christopher Robin and I To lay this book in your lap.
Say you're surprised?
Say you like it?
Say it's just what you wanted? Because it's yours— Because we love you.
.. A. A. MILNE
The Senior Class takes great pleasure in presenting this, its yearbook, to one whose words and deeds are reflected in many of these pages; to one who has helped us over the rough spots; who has rejoiced with us when we were gay, and who has made our stay at the Northampton School for Girls a bit of our lives which shall always be outstanding in our memories. For these reasons and for so many more, we dedicate this book to you,"our" Mrs. Duncan.
Could You Imagine . . .

DEAR CLASS OF 1955:
Your class had its small, but we like to think, unusually good beginning in 1950, five years ago. It has grown until now, in 1955, it is as large as any class that has graduated from this school. You will scatter to colleges all over the country, but we hope you will always carry with you into college and after college happy memories of your years here. You have been a united class despite your number, and a happy class. You have made a splendid record in sports, produced extremely good copies of Pegasus, and shown considerable dramatic ability. Now we hope you will carry all these good things into college and into your life after college.
Do not forget the beauties of this corner of Northampton with the mountains and the meadows, the gardens and the playing fields. Come back to it whenever you can.
With many good wishes and much love,

It was night. Pooh was just tucking his big puff under his chin, and Piglet had just snuffed out his candle which still gave off a finger of smoke that played in the darkness. As he lay there thinking and tracing a moon beam that fell on the floor, he wondered where it led to, and he imagined that he and Pooh were walking along the shining path and that it was taking them into the future. As the two walked up and up, they came to a familiar street with familiar buildings.
"Oh, Pooh," screamed Piglet, "I know where we are. Look, do look! There are Montgomery, and Hathaway, and see the sign over Scott Hall doorway. Please read it, Pooh."
And they ran forward looking at the letters which spelled out, NATIONAL CONVENTION OF VERY IMPORTANT PEOPLE.
"And see, there are all the people we know!" Pooh ran ahead calling to everyone, and Piglet bounced in the direction of an important looking group of people. He saw Judy Beeson, Elli Harvey, Judy Stoesser, and Flip Smith gathered about the Chemistry Laboratory. They all shuffled sheafs of paper upon which appeared mazes of lines and numbers. The center of attraction for the four scientists seemed to be a clock belonging to Judy. At this moment a figure in the hall spied the tiny creature, and at Joanna Ewing's shout of recognition, the group turned and rushed to Piglet who seemed to be more interested in the clock than in his friends.
"Why does it have twenty-five hours on it?" he asked, seeming not to notice the bornbardment of questions that was being fired at him.
"Why, Piglet," a voice from behind him said, "it's so much easier with twenty-five hours to do everything in and sleep, too!"
It was Esta Smith, who, with Joanna, was obtaining a notebook full of notes for her magazine of which Joanna was co-editor.
Pooh, too, by this time, had attracted a large number of ladies, and was trying casually to ask Wendy Stone what her plans for the evening were. Wendy explained that her business associates and she were attending a fashion model and buyer convention at Deborah Hatch's hotel.
"You see," said Wendy,"I have my own business now. I manage it, Ann Francis designs my creations, and Jane Shapiro and Sheryl Skrill are my two best models. Marcia Raker works with us, too, but she's not able to be here this afternoon."
Pooh said, "That is nice, and I'm sorry about Marcia. I remember the rides that Piglet and I used to take in her Cadillac."
"Speaking of Cadillacs," added Ann,"Judy Van Dusen just got out of one, with Lynne Alexander. You know, don't you, that Judy is an ambassador to France, and that Lynne works with her in New York."
Pooh said no, he didn't, but that he did know that Elinor Backe was important in Chinese politics. Just as he said "politics" a voice whispered,
"How iz oo?" It couldn't have been anyone but Marilyn March. She was accompanied by Penny Pond, who was reporting for the Smith-Ewing newspaper.
The two little creatures had, by now, attracted a large crowd, and en masse, they moved toward the Assembly Hall to view the various displays and to see more people.
Piglet ran to the bookshelves crying, "Look, do come and see, Pooh. They're all by people we know. Here's a book by Mary Ann Gillingham, and oh! oh! the Nobel Prize winner, a collection of poems by Barbara Seaver, and another, My Korea, by Kyung Sook Hahn. A book on, what's that, Pooh? Psychology? Oh. And a new French Grammar by Betty Tuttle."
Turning to Diane Fenton who was standing beside him, Pooh asked,"Who arrangect all the complicated plans for the convention?" Diney smiled and said, "Not too complicated, Pooh, and May Nutting and I worked them out. It was so much fun doing it, Mouse."
Pooh giggled at the sound of his old nickname, and said, "Do you still write stories about Piglet and Roo, and all of us, the way you used to?"
"Of course, Pooh. And Ann Babcock writes stories, too, and Barbara Sweet illustrates for both of us."
Piglet, who had overheard the conversation said that was so nice and asked Diney about Leslie Nichols and Joan Taylor.
"I'm glad you did ask," she said, "because it was only a few days ago that I saw Leslie as she was en route to her law office in New York, and we both mentioned what a wonderful practice Joan Taylor has."
Piglet was so excited! Next he ran straight for a table of paintings which had just caught his eye.
"What lovely pictures," he said, "and by Lee Rowley and Prudy Sandifer, too." Pooh. who had leaned too far over the table and knocked off a few mounted pictures exclaimed, "Oh, bother," and bent down to gather them up. Bent halfway over, he noticed that they were photographs done by Alison Hersey and Nancy Der Giragossian.
"Why, I wonder where Herse is now," he muttered to himself. An unexpected answer came to him.
"Right here, Pooh, and Bo, too."
"Oh my!" was all he could say, for there stood the two whom he remembered sleeping with on the icy sleeping porch. Bo looked at Herse and wrinkled up her nose. "Tongue tied?" referring to Pooh.
"Oh, no," he stuttered, "but so surprised, Bo, I thought you were swimming in the Olympics."
"Well, I was, said Bo, but I'm home for a few months resting for the next bout." Pooh was about to say something, but he was interrupted by Sandy Bashore and Janet Babcock who were winding through the crowd carrying albums of records, which they had recorded. They were closely followed by Ann Hower who was bringing more books to arrange on a table.
"Magooch," called Piglet, and she came over, barely being able to peep from behind the covers,"How are you?"
"Oh,fine, if I can find myself."
"Here, I'll help, he said, "taking the topmost one from the pile. Ann smiled her thanks, and went on talking to Pooh about her new magazine column.
. and Ginny Robinson works with me, too, Pooh. She's the proof reader for one section of the publication."
Pooh could remember all the Pegasus meetings, and Ginny's hours of proof marking in the Art Studio and the Day Girls' Room.
"Speaking of Day Girls," queried Piglet,"I wonder what they are all doing."
"Well," said Ginny,"Mary Lou Hogan is a telephone operator, and I think that Cynthia Hussey and Sally Bowman are still living near Williston Academy which makes their stories rather debatable.
Piglet laughed, thinking about all the blind dates and dances at Williston.
"Diane Beckwith and Sue Dole used to be so worried about their dates," he said, "I wonder what they're doing now."
"I think that Sue is a model in San Francisco, and Becky is the head of a French school near Paris. Judi was near there last month while she was returning from her summer job in Spain. You knew she was there, didn't you?"
Piglet and Pooh both said they did, and suddenly thought of Joyce Fungaroli who was living in Italy, and then Mary Lee Sands who was touring with a musical group which boasted Debby Saybolt as accompanist.
Piglet had been counting on his fingers, and suddenly looked up at Pooh.
"That leaves only one more, Pooh. Guess who!"
"I know ... Tat Field, and I also know what she's doing," said Pooh. "She's head of the French Department at Smith, where Pussy Mather teaches, and I've heard, too, that Sylvia Mason is working in the Smith Biology Laboratories, now."
Somehow, the dreams of school, French and Biology gave the sleeping Piglet a jog, and he felt himself sliding down his moonbeam, and then he awoke, and sat up in bed, wishing that the twenty-fifth hour were there.

French Club
Sitting: G. Payne. W. Stone, D. Saybolt, D. Beckwith, C. Friedman, A. Hower, P. Howard. Second row: M. Hock, L. Nichols, G. Robinson, Miss Bement, E. Webster, C. Thorne. Standing: L. Rowe, H. Field, M. Shea, B. Sweet, M. Ewing, D. Fenton, E. Backe, L. Rowley, E. Smith, J. Ewing, M. Sands, B. Elliott, B. Tuttle, D. Robb, M. Kruuse, S. Bashore, M. Nutting.
During this year the French Club has had some very entertaining meetings. Judy Van Dusen showed slides of the summer group in France while Miss Bement supplied an interesting travelogue. For the meetings at which there were no speakers, the club played French games and enacted skits. The highlight of the year was the joint soiree with the Latin and Spanish Clubs. With the banquet in May, La Fleur de Lis closed an exciting and successful year.
El Club Espariol was active throughout the year. Miss Ashe, a senior at Smith, and Mrs. Itturalde gave them a vivid picture of what life is like in Spain and Argentina. After Miss Delorme showed slides and gave a talk, the girls had a better appreciation of Spanish Art. Spanish Club had a successful food sale and held a joint soiree with French and Latin Clubs.- In the latter part of May the "senoritas" ended the year with a banquet.
Spanish Club
Sitting: S. Hull, M. Raker, P. Sandifer, A. Nelson, D. Fenton. Second row: E. Cross, J. Beeson, C. Glesmann, J. Shapiro, L. Alexander, Miss Vogel. Standing: H. Haase, M. March, J. Schwartz, D. Hatch, S. Dole, A. Babcock, S. Skrill, D. Beckwith, A. Francis, J. Mason, E. Harvey.
Latin Club
Sitting: C. Hannum, E. Webster, L. Pekala, P. Goman, R. French, L. Madison. Second row: S. Hull, B. Elliott, C. Friedman, P. Sandifer, H. Donais, L. Rowley, D. Robb, L. Taylor. Standing: C. Campagna, M. Beale, C. Hussey, A. Barroll, A. Seeley, A. Crary, Miss Astarita, F. Smyth, J. Keefe, N. Goldberg, M. Bemis.
The newly established Latin Club, under the able guidance of Miss Astarita, was supported by an enthusiastic group of followers. Although most of the meetings have been devoted to business, a great source of amusement to all was a game of "Twenty Questions" with Roman people. Preparations for the school soiree given by the language clubs were also enjoyable. The season closed successfully with a Roman Feast complete with Pizza and togas.
The Current Events Club, with Miss Gordon as advisor, began an eventful season with Professor Graham's talk on Germany. Their next enterprises were movies. The proceeds from the first went to "CARE," the second was in collaboration with the Spanish Club. Among the highlights of the year were the two debates with Williston on "Should Eighteen Year Olds Vote."

Pegasus, this year, wore the "new look" with a.larger page spread and a new type of glossy paper. Ardent backing from Miss Vogel, the advisor, greatly aided the staff in completing eight issues including a special April Fool's number. Peter Pegasus and a creative writing contest highlighted a most successful year.
Under the excellent supervision of Mrs. Pearce, Masque and Wig experienced an outstandingly successful and enjoyable year. In November, the Dramatic Club of Williston Academy and Masque and Wig jointly produced "Father of the Bride," and at a later date the club sponsored a contest of class plays the winner of which was awarded a place on the plaque.

Sitting: M. Nutting, W. Stone, M. Hock, Mis. Pearce. Standing: J. Taylor, H. Field, D. Fenton, G. Robinson, E. Smith, R. Cordingley, L. Openshaw, A. Damon, J. Stoesser.

Front row: J. Van Dusen, S. Bashore, R. Cordingley, E. Webster, J. Babcock, P. Smith, H. Field, J. Tay- lor. Second row: P. Howard, M. Hock, A. Damon, L. Nichols, L. Graham, M. Kruuse, E. Harvey.

During the past year, the members of the Music Club came to a full realization that an immeasurable quantity of happiness can be obtained from singing. The girls conveyed to the various groups for whom they sang this same happiness. To Miss Dunham, the director, they all wish to express their deepest thanks for her wonderful help.
During the past year the Art Club has had several interesting meetings at which Miss Delorme has given the girls constructive criticism in painting. The excursions to the Smith College Art Galleries to see a display of modern art was the most interesting of the Art Club's outside projects.

Hampsters
J. Taylor, J. Babcock, S. Bashore, W. Stone, M. Hock, M. Nutting, J. Van Dusen.
This past year was an exciting whirl for the nine "Hampsters" who sang at dances, for groups outside the school, and once at the Hotel Northampton. Their particular favorites were:"Look for the Silver Lining," "Basin Street Blues,""These Foolish Things," and "Who."
The Double Sextette, too, kept busy with a stiff schedule of rehearsals for the Christmas Concert with Williston Academy, and the operetta. Both groups were headed by Janet Babcock, and were under the direction of Miss Dunham.

This year, Student Council made great progress in creating more respect in the student body for Council members. This is a most important point, for with respect, many accomplishments can be made. Council had formed this respect by opening itself more to the students, and under the leadership of Joan Taylor, President, has accomplished much to be proved of in 195455. Council would like to express thanks to Miss Dunham who acted as a link between them and the faculty.
Second Student Council
Front row: J. Van Dusen, M. Nutting, J. Ewing, J. Taylor, L. Nichols, Miss Dunham. Second row: J. Babcock, P. Smith, E. Smith, B. Seaver, R. Tuttle, S. Bashore, R. Cordingley, S. Gibson, L. Rowe, C. Friedman.
Christian Association
President S. BASHORE
Secretary-Treasurer G. ROBINSON
The busiest time of the year for the Christian Association was just before the winter holidays. It sponsored the annual Christmas Bazaar and succeeded in reaping the largest harvest ever. The proceeds were donated to thelocal Community Chest. Besides supporting the various charities, the Christian Association sent girls to the,conference in April. This year also, the Christian Association deviated from the ordinary pattern of Sunday vespers and initiated different speakers for their programs.
Northampton's eminence in sports among other schools shows what an eventful year the Athletic Association has had. The various teams have shown great improvement in skill and team spirit. The spring pageant was a credit to Miss Beatty's able instruction. The success of the Athletic Association has resulted in a large part from the spirit of the student body.

The Soccer Eleven, this year, showed far more enthusiasm than in previous years. This was probably a result of superior teamwork under Miss Beatty's guidance. Although the scores did not always mount in the right direction, many underclassmen gained so much experience that next year's team looks into a future with many shining victories.
Once more the Hockey Team rounded out an undefeated season and could even say that no other team had scored against them during the fall months of competition. Alison Hersey, captain, was backed by a full squad of players who were certainly very proud to be members of the Northampton School Team.

Front: A. Hersey. Standing: B. Seaver, M. Hock, S. Dole, S. Bashore, J. Van Dusen, J. Beeson, E. Webster, B. Tuttle, M. Nutting.

Not only did the girls produce excellent hockey and soccer teams this year, but also an outstanding basketball team. With the exception of the first game, the team maintained an undefeated season. Day girls and boarders alike worked together to produce smoothly working, well co-ordinated teamwork essential to a well organized team. The season was one of the most successful in the history of the school.
The Riding Club is a comparatively new group at Northampton for those who wish to better their horsemanship. Under the skillful direction of Miss Beatty and the cooperation of the Smith College Stables, this group, with Stephanie Ratner as the president, held such events as breakfast rides, long expeditions around the trails of Northampton, and a very successful horse show.

There'll Always Be An Advertising Man
A Page for Girls Who May Someday Find Their Husbands (or Themselves) Engaged in This Noisy Activity
A criticism often made of advertising is that it gets people to buy things they don't really want. Does it?
For example:does the advertising of cosmetics and the latest thing in dresses CREATE a desire in women to look more attractive or to wear new clothes?
This, we understand, is something which started in the Garden of Eden — and we refuse to think of the serpent, there, as The First Advertising Man!
