NORTHAMPTON SCHOOL FOR GIRLS NORTHAMPTON, MASSACHUSETTS
Dear Seniors,
You of the Class of 1965 — the forty-first class to be graduated from Northampton School for Girls — have been one of the most important groups in the history of the school. You have bridged the change from the administration of our great founders, Miss Whitaker and Miss Bement, through two successive administrations, and have done so without breaking stride. I am happy to be able to write you these few words of appreciation and good wishes.
You have lived up to your reputation as a strong and loyal class, maintaining the best of our traditions while introducing new ideas. The school is a better place for your having been here.
My own debt to you is great. You have welcomed me and my family with a warmth and friendliness that we shall not forget, and I have been able to rely on you for information and advice during the year. Most important, I have come to know you as good friends. My best wishes go with you for success in college and for every happiness in the years to come.
Affectionately, e
Alan B. McMillen Headmaster

Seniors are we, This is the last joyous year we'll spend here, Then will we leave, With strength of mind and courage ever. We'll ne'er forget all the fun That we've been having through the years. We live by what we learn And this be our senior creed.
Seniors are we, And as the years go by, we'll cherish This our school, Through which we learn to face the future. We'll ne'er forget all the fun
That we've been having through the years. We live by what we learn And this be our senior creed.
The Class of 1965 started making history the day we arrived, September 17, 1961. We have progressed from Stronach to Hathaway, from StrideRites to Weejuns, from pipe curls to no curls, from Little Women to Candy. We have lived and have learned through experience, whether it was our first blind date or our first mid-year examination. After four years of term tests, of summer reading, of corn flakes for breakfast, and of Edward's Church on Sundays, we have finally made it into college.
With ninth grade came Operation Scott Hall, firstyear Latin, and first-year French. Hmmm, let's see, was it veni, vidi, vici or veni, vici, vidi? J'entre dans la salle de classe or j'entre dans la classe de salle? As we looked up at the seniors, we could not help wondering whether our time would ever come.
Sophomore year was just around the corner, and no sooner had June ended when September began, and we were tenth graders, rushing down the halls of Scott with boxes of M&M's, of PornPoms, and of Hershey Bars. That was the year of money-making, of Lorna Doone, and of geometry. How often did the cry, But Mrs. Emerson, I don't understand that proof!" ring forth from the big English room! We managed to struggle through, though, and found ourselves back at Hamp as eleventh graders.
As upperclassmen, we faced a variety of unpleasant tasks — reading The Faerie Queene, taking both P.S.A.T.'s and SAT's, and preparing the yearbook, which was the largest, but most rewarding, responsibility of all. We had begun to think that we would never see the end of senior wills and candids. But the March deadline came all too soon, and suddenly we were standing on the "sacred lawn" holding the finished product. Only three more months and we would be back as seniors.
The summer passed quickly as the pile of twentytwo books gradually decreased — from Babbitt, through Huckleberry Finn all the way to The Death of a Salesman. When the contents tests began, we were grateful that we had spent some of our time (between water skiing and swimming lessons) with Uncle Torn and Henry Fleming. Sine and cosine seemed quite troublesome for some of us this year, and we began seeing triangles everywhere! With January came the last of the College Boards, and forty-five girls now sat down to wait with baited breath until the colleges had made their decisions. For a while even "Miss Tiddlypusher's Backdoor" seemed doubtful! As both letters and time rolled by, however, tension lessened. The last six weeks of spring were the most rewarding, and memories remain for all.
That was the class that was!

Last Will and Testament
I, Margaret Angelo, leave college anticipation to anyone who wants it.
I, Tancy Barowsky, leave to Nancy Canterbury a bag of hard candy, some Bazooka, and a supply of paper cups. I leave to Susie McAllister her dream of the White Knight carrying her away on his motorcycle, and many more bus rides between Hamp and New Haven. To Kay Tobler, I leave ideas and incentive for a Spring Project in '66, and a sunny graduation day. And to Sue Sibley I leave the art room and courage for another three years.
I, Lois A. Benson, being of sound mind and body, do hereby dispose of my belongings as follows: to my little sister, Kathy Topoulos, my appreciation of her marvelous heritage; to Nina Hart, my beautifully "tanned" toes and my fascination with "the stage"; to Lois Kingsbury and to Lois Hover, another year of confusion, my blood red ring, and one healthy orange; to Shirna Driver, my pet chipmunk, complete with instructions, and one slightlyaltered letter of acceptance to Wellesley. My love of the classics I shall keep with me always, but I shall be happy to share it with anyone.
I, Barrie Brady, leave to Mrs. Cantarella a new roof for the doghouse in which the class of '65 spent most of its time; to Nancy Couchon, my place at the French table; and to Minnie and Kirsty, memories of The Golden Six.
I, Lynn Bryan, leave all my low-necked dresses to anyone foolish enough to think they work, and my room in which almost all my books fit to Janet Weber.
I, Amy Burrows, leave to Kay Tobler our jeeps 1948, 1949, "the principle of the thing," our magazine, the too full taxi, and the missing nose. To Pam Knowles, I leave the dresses neither of us can wear, my place in "Hampsters," money for confiscated books, sic, sic, sic, and, most important,.our mutual love. To Sylvia Black, I leave the Bulletin Board, the nights on the porch, and one last year. To Kirsty Pollard, I leave the whole of Princeton — what more does one need? To Georgia Morgan, I leave the chewing gum, the airsick pills, and the Philadelphia Airport. I leave Pat her eyes with hopes that someday they'll open. To Mr. McMillen, I leave my flying license, and to the school, I leave chubby.
I, Laurie Butler, being of sound mind and body, do hereby bequeath the following items: three particular students at the University of Virginia to Carol Mann, a "college safety" to Susie McAllister, my ability to juggle to Weezie Pomeroy, my sixthperiod naps to Laurie Fischer, and last, but not least, the use of my kitchen every Saturday morning to Kay Tobler.
I, Pat Cannon, leave coming back to school after Christmas vacation to Leslie Black, Mrs. Kehrli in Caroline Boas' care, Mrs. Chalufour's coffee sessions to anyone who is depressed on Saturday night, and my Wilbraham banner to Paula Burbank.
I, Marie-Henriette Carre, being of transcendental mind and disintegrating body, do humbly bequeath the most honorable presidency of the "Moan and Groan Society" to Shirnavaz Driver; the title of "Beautiful" to my co-singer Lee Munroe; my worn ballet slippers to Kirsty; part of my voice to Nina Hart; a shower cap to Mr. "I" Teller; and my enjoyable future life in the Saudi Arabian desert to my predecessor in a similar position, Henry David Thoreau. The rest I take with me.
I, Carol Causse, leave the third floor triple to three lucky girls who don't mind the "circus" smell and the invasion of red flowers. I leave behind the counting of days till freedom and mixed company. And finally, to all future seniors, I leave the really best year ever.
I, Hera Cohn-Haft, do happily leave. But for those who have time yet to serve, there remain: for Sue and Robyn, carrots and pickles, salad and tea; for Nancy, a hummingbee; for Estelle, crises (both foreign and Grand Central); more letters for Ninfa; Hi Schnitzel! for Julie, Big Don; Oh! I know who she is — Kathy Topoulos; a glare for Sinc; Brother's snapshots for Sue; for huge Holly, the touch of a hand; for Dory, the clatter of cal. cups; for Cynthia, sunglasses and Ten Tales to translate; and for the other "friendly college-community snob," the joyous tasks of her own farewell preparations. Good luck — see you all in the college trap.
I, George dePaul, do hereby bequeath all my sense of responsibility to Stenson; the soap bubbles and bike rides to Knowles; my name and its consequences to Nina Hart; the Jolly Green Giant to Vinnie Hopf (with hopes that she will be true); the eternal snow plow to Moose (J. Flagg); and one flying amoeba to Mrs. Day.
I, Maunie Dietrich, leave to Shirna Driver all my memories of le Passe Compos and l'imparfait; to Lee Munroe, my memories of Williston swim meets; to Sue Permesly, and Prue Dickson, my skill in taking candid flash pictures; to Barbara Fee all future first-period gym classes in stunts and tumbling; and to Carol Phillips success on "the horse." To Leslie Black, I leave those frantic times of borrowing clothes before dances; to the class of '66, all the senior privileges; and to Mrs. Cheney, all the memories of early-morning and late-night hours. To the entire school, I leave one pair of imaginary drapes for the Lounge; and to Eva Paloheimo, memories of Saturday night dates.
I, Mary DonneIlan, leave all my happy weekends at Williston to Ginny and Fairley; a bottle of peroxide and five inches to Caroline; and a good-looking blind (?) date to Holly. To Julie Sinclair, I leave large dining-room shifts and all the pizza she can eat; to Nancy Couchon, FINE and happy days; to Linda Ellis, three more wonderful years at 'Hamp; to Margo, good luck with C.B. or whomever; and to Lee, our friendship and all of the '66ers at Williston except one.
I, Bethia Driggs, do bequeath the following: to Cathy Strogatz, my safari helmet, in hopes that the Wizard of Oz doesn't get her; to Nancy Canterbury, the closet of Sawyer House, in hopes that she stays out of trouble; to Prue Dickson, my alto part in the Hampsters; to Sue Sibley, my middle name, "Crackers," because she was gullible enough to believe me; to Bean Driscoll, the five Latin vocabulary words a day, in hopes she'll learn them at some other time than recess; and to any senior who likes to go home to someone, the joy of going steady.
I, Polly Eskenasy, being stubborn and stingy, do hereby bequeath: to Mrs. Cantarella, a mouse dissolved in a glass of water; to Maxine Stein, my position on next year's soccer team; to Mrs. Brown, a huge sigh of relief; to Estelle Blatt, a factory of fact cards on Farley; to Shirnavaz Driver, a scalpel and a jar full of planaria; to Pam Knowles, a pair of yellow sunglasses; to Cynthia Belsky, a Corvette, a shovel, and a bag of salt; and to all the day girls, a shiftless summer.
I, Anne Farrell, being of very small mind, do solemnly bequeath my love of French III to Minnie, and all Williston day boys to Jill Viscidi.
I, Deirdre Ann Clair Fennessy, of quixotic mind and normal body, do hereby bequeath my treasured "desiree" boots to Mrs. Kehrli; a bottle of Nestle's black rinse to Marlynn Krebs; an Irish Leprechaun with all the inside dope about "pots of gold" to Mrs. Chalufour; and a bag of tricks and surprises to Prue Dickson. And lastly, I'd like to leave the flowers on my wallpaper to my garden.
I, Billie Joanne Gadd, being of sound (?) mind and body, do hereby expose my last will and testament. I bequeath 30,000,000,000,000,000,000 words to Nina Hart; to Estelle Blatt, all the joys of public speaking; and to Paul' Burbank — happiness in Hathaway. But the most important item is "one kingsize trip that lands Sib flat on face."
I, Babbie Gilbert, bequeath to Sue Sibley a set of jacks and a pair of pigtails; and to Pam and Paula, a book on Judo. To Mrs. Brown, I leave my M&M's and a trip to Hershey; to Minnie, my Penn. hat; and to Pam Knowles, our mountain in "Eldorado."
date; one dozen soft-boiled eggs to Carol Phillips; my seat in Lee living room to some other victim; and the best of luck to next year's seniors.
I, Laura Gould, being of questionable mind and body, leave to Canterbury and Bean a free day; to Susie McAllister, traveller's checks; and to Weezie Pomeroy, another tennis student as adept as I. To my successor as Social Secretary, I leave that dubious dance with Deerfield and the dance lists that I finally put on my door. To Pam Knowles, I leave new ideas in decoration; and to Janet Weber, a clear day for the N.E.S.G.A. Conference. Between Janet and Nancy Canterbury, I sadly divide my title as "mascot" and hope that they will live up to the responsibility of their position. To Mrs. C., I leave a class of perfect spellers; and, finally, to some lucky senior, a third try at SAT's.
I, Merry Hall, being of questionable mind and unquestionable body, leave this cherished school to anyone who might want it! I bequeath Room 6 to anyone who likes the feeling of living in a refrigerator. I leave to Julie Flagg the dating rules with which we suffered one weekend. I leave to Lois Kingsbury memories of the poma lift that swayed strangely back and forth; to Essie Sharpe, recollections of our game of "pitch"; and to Pam Oddy's little sister, Vinnie Hopf, memories of skiweekend, and the image of "super-skier" as a teacher, since Pam and I have gone.

I, Phyllis F. Lockwood, being of rapidly deteriorating mind and body, do humbly bequeath all fire escapes to Miss Turner's supervision. I leave Evie Hankey all responsibilities as her "big sister," but I remain her cousin. I leave to Mrs. Cheney a twoinch splinter in my foot. Fond memories of contentious Williston play rehearsals I leave to Ringo. Et ego, Seralignum, relinquo meum amorem et memorias Latinae M.Tracae et S. Driveraz.
I, Rendall Meissner, being of sound body and questionable mind, do hereby bequeath to my little sister the use of her own name. To "Louse" Kareha, I leave the will power to diet; to Sam, all the frustrating skiing lessons; and to Caroline Boas, her nervous laugh. Last, but not least, to the senior class of next year, I leave Moby Dick.
I, Martha Mixter, leave better luck in the future to the hockey team; my share of popcorn at Mr. Martin's riding stable to Susan Hamilton; my instant coffee and Sucaryl to any sleep-loving Seniors; my Lawrence Academy towel to Miss Starr; and my seat 11A on the jet to Margo Wilder. Finally, I leave my slide rule joyfully and the East sadly.
I, Mudge, known to a few as Lee, being of sane, but inane mind, leave the following: to Eva, my "four yalls and a window"; to Whitaker, a phone company which sends no bills for overtime; to Strogatz, a "Happy Lions Day"; to all skiers, a Jinx on broken ankles; to Mrs. Chalufour, my facial contortions at lunch and many elbows on the table; to Lynn Stahlberg and Essie Sharpe, applesauce, cake, pickles, my fantastic sketches, and my bedmaking lessons; to Weezie, condolences at the loss of her ski buddy; and to "Thumper," the hope that "P. Rabbit U." will accept her on the basis of her jumping ability.
I, Kathy Nagle, of sick body and unsound mind, do hereby bequeath all the half-empty coke bottles in Hathaway basement to Julie Sinclair, and memories of Italian to Cynthia "Mousey" Belsky.

Ego, Pamela Odda, do meae parvae sorori, Vinni Hopfi, meum amorem Latinae linguae, atque unum caput "nuggi." Do bona fama Oddae-Nortonae conjunctionis alicui quae potest id sustinere.
I, Nancy Petravice, bequeath to all future chemistry students a strong will and a hardened body to withstand the short assignments; to my little sister, Barbara Fee, the best of luck; and to all my teachers, many thanks.
I, Dykie Prentice, leave to Maxine Stein a few locks of my hair, with the hope that she will be able to repair the damage to her own; to Susie McAllister a pair of sunglasses and a teasing comb, so she can manage things; and to Bean Driscoll, a bottle of Listerine, if she promises to swallow it. I leave Leigh Hurley with her gossip. Regretfully, I leave my little mouse, "Damajean," to anyone who can catch him, if she promises to give him T.L.C.
I, Susan Reed, leave an invitation to everyone at Northampton School for Girls to come to visit me when they are in California. To Louise Wellborn, I leave my place in the corner of Mrs. Cantarella's class. To Valerie Papageorge, I leave my love of horses. To Monsieur Chalufour, I leave Tuesdays and Fridays free. To Miss Coon,'leave all the weight I would have gained if she hadn't watched me at lunch, and Mr. Henry B. Smith. And to Linda Ellis, I leave my "squeaky" nose.
I, Gale Sarner, leave the following: to Eva Paloheimo, the right to call anyone she wishes "creep"; to Captain Marvel — "contact!"; to Cathy Strogatz, instructions to "pay attention"; to Sib, 30 laps around the gym at top speed; to Pam Knowles, my ability on those killers — skis; to Mrs. Brown, the hope that the M&M fairy won't get her; and to the C.A. President, 90,000,000 card tables and a carton of grab bags.
I, Debbie Schneller, do leave to my little sister, Julie Flagg, a pair of scissors in case she ever gets desperate enough to cut off her braid; and to Lynn Aries, a French dictionary to aid her in translating her letters. I leave Carol Phillips in the Alpenglo teaching Charlotte Beadel how to dance.
I, Lisa Smith, do hereby bequeath to Weezie Pomeroy one pair of sturdy brown brogues. To Georgia Morgan, I leave my purple turtle, in hopes that she will, according to tradition, pass it down to her "Little Sister." And to Marlynn Krebs, I leave saudades for Brazil.
I, Holly Smith, leave my "seat of wisdom" to Janet Weber.
I, Dolly Witherspoon, leave cold showers on the third floor and boiling ones in Hathaway basement. I leave an apple core bin to Mrs. Cantarella, the universal "way of life" to my little sister, and telephone calls to everyone.

Middler Class
The Middlers have raced through this year completing myriads of tasks, tests, and term papers. The tasks, which kept us on the move all year, consisted of publishing L'Ormeau, baking for the Middler Snack Bar every Wednesday, selling popsicles at recess, making items for a variety table at the Christmas Bazaar (we sold every item on the table), and cooking and serving a
midnight breakfast for the Prom. The tests came with such rapidity and such tongue-twisting names (S.A.T., C.E.E.B., and N.M.S.Q.T. are a few) that when we had finally finished them, we might have taken some X.Y.Z.'s without knowing it. We owe many thanks to Mrs. Allen for being such a concerned and encouraging advisor to each one of us.
Junior Middler Class
We, the Junior Middler class, enjoyed an interesting and successful year. As is traditional, we sold candy at recess to raise money. For the Christmas Bazaar we made animal-shaped bean bags. This spring we pioneered by climbing Mt. Greylock and by visiting Sturbridge Village as a class.

Junior Class
This year the class of '68 successfully undertook many money-making projects. At the Christmas Bazaar we made more money than any other class with terry cloth after-bath shifts and handmade pierced earrings. During the winter term we helped everyone to diet by selling brownies and fudge on Monday afternoons. Our last project was changing beds, for a price, on the weekends. We were not entirely mercenary, and in the tradition of the Junior Class we continued "Operation Scott."

Student Council
This has been a year of self-searching at Northampton, and the Student Council has played an important part in it. The Handbook has been completely revised after many long Council and Student Government meetings. The Honor System was reviewed and closely scrutinized by the Student-Faculty Honor Committee. Although no changes were made this year, the conclusions which have been drawn are sure to affect student life and student government within the next year.

Christian Association
The Christian Association, the charitable organization of the school, this year contributed seven hundred dollars to the Community Chest with profits from the Christmas Bazaar. We also played a large part in the planning of the Christmas Banquet and donated over one hundred toys to the underprivileged children of the Northampton area. Some of the other duties of the C. A. were to supervise such activities as the Sunday evening vespers, Student Council prayers, and the ringing of the Angelus. This year for the first time a C. A. Board was set up to aid the C. A. President and the faculty advisor, Mrs. Hussey, in their multifarious tasks.

Pegasus
This year the Pegasus staff is very proud of the two major goals we have achieved. First, the paper was expanded to six pages, the most voluminous size in its twenty-nine years of existence. Moreover, we feel that Pegasus has succeeded in reaching its readers and in receiving opinions from them through polls and Letters to the Editor. We are grateful to our advisor, Mr. McMillen, for his help and patience in directing the newspaper.
An issue of Pegasus is planned.

The Current Events Club began this year by sponsoring a mock presidential campaign and election, in which the members acted as candidates, campaign managers, chairman, and news agents. For the bazaar we made International Cookbooks — our first project of the annual event. Some members attended a symposium with Williston on South East Asia. The club also gave the Current Events Summaries in Monday morning prayers.
Glee Club
This year the Glee Club, under the direction of Miss Coon, has been a very active organization. There was the annual Christmas concert with Williston Academy, and, in the spring, the Hartford Choral Festival with other preparatory schools in the area. For Parents' Weekend in
the spring the Glee Club performed again. Many girls from the Glee Club were chosen for parts in the two short musicals, The Yankee Pedlar and Artemis Undone, which were produced in joyful cooperation with Williston Academy.

Music Club
The sixteen girls in the Music Club were most active during the Christmas season this year. They sang with the Williston double quintet in the Christmas concert, and toured the area with the Williston group, giving concerts, one at the South Amherst church and another at the Lathrop Nursing Home. We had them to ourselves for the Christmas Banquet where they entertained with several lovely carols.
Hampsters
The Hampsters, a group of twelve seniors, this year sang at such school functions as Parents' Day, dances, Parents' Weekend, and the school Birthday Party. The Hampsters are an independent group and have chosen their own selections, developed their own techniques, and worked out their own harmonies.
Midtones
The twelve Midtones, next year's Hampsters, were chosen in February. They gave their first concert on Parents' Weekend in April.

La Fleur de Lis
Food and films francais were the activities of La Fleur de Lis in a nutshell. This club, one of the biggest on campus, built its program around the presentation of a variety of excellent French films. We chose the old gym as a permanent meeting place, and reserved one wall there for pictures and maps of France. To support ourselves we resorted to la cuisine,
sponsoring Cafés Francais regularly in the lounge. And, true to form, our project for the bazaar was to supply the tea with rosettes, with which Madame Chalufour helped us. Many thanks to Monsieur Chalufour, who could not have been more concerned or more helpful, for making this year a success.

II Tricolore
This year the Italian Club was larger than ever. With the inspiration of Mrs. Cantarella, the club has enjoyed many stimulating activities, especially the party-meetings at her home. The cries of "Pizza, belle pizza" brought crowds to our bright green, white, and red booth at the bazaar where we "attractive Mediterranean beauties" sold stuffed funghi, hot pizza, Chianti bottles, and torta de ricotta. Several times during the year the club has provided pizza for this ever-hungry school. We are now trying for dual-citizenship. Viva il tricolore!

El Circulo Espanol
In attempting to understand Spanish culture through academic and social activities, El Circulo Espanol has included Spanish meals, slides, and lectures in its program. The most successful undertaking of the club this year was the selling of tacos at the Christmas Bazaar, where they were the hottest item on the market.

Latin Club
Under the able guidance of Miss Ann Tracy the Latin Club enjoyed a successful year. The most extensive and profitable venture we undertook was the jewelry table at the Christmas Bazaar; our contribution to the total sum was sixty dollars. We capped the year with an authentic banquet in the spring. We extend our thanks to Miss Tracy for her help and interest.
Speech and Debate Club •
Operating on the principle that ideas must be freely discussed and debated to preserve the freedom of a society, a Speech and Debate Club was founded at Northampton in February. On March 5, the club was addressed by Mr. Lewis Miller on variety in oral communication. On April 17, the school received an affiliate membership in the National Forensic League. Next year we are looking forward to active and successful participation in many and varied forensic activities.

Masque and Wig
The Masque and Wig worked hard in collaboration with Williston Academy this year. Our first production was An Enemy of the People, by Ibsen. In the spring we presented The Golden Six, by Maxwell Anderson, and a few members appeared in Murder in the Cathedral. As advisor, Miss Tracy brought new ideas and spirit to Masque and Wig.

Prom Committee
Early in November the newly-elected 1965 Prom Committee entered into friendly competition with the other money-making organizations on campus. After a fall term of raffles and a winter term of Leland's candy bars, the committee tried some new schemes: Saturday morning breakfast in bed, and shift substitutions for busy girls. Our last project, a joint effort with the Alumnae Association, was the annual Fashion Show which drew many students, parents, alumnae, and local friends. The proceeds from these many ventures made possible the Senior Promenade, held at the Hotel Northampton where the seniors enjoyed a special dinner and smoking privileges! Our midnight breakfast was served in Montgomery, courtesy of the Middler Class. Many thanks to the Middlers, and infinite thanks to our patient faculty advisors, Mrs. Cheney, Miss Tracy, and Miss Girard.
Prom Picnic
Athletic Association
The Athletic Association is responsible for organizing all our athletic events, both inter and intramural. The Green and White teams competed throughout the year, and by the spring term were tied 2-2. During the winter term there was a basketball tournament among house and daygirl teams, from which Hathaway emerged trium-
phant. Their reward was the privilege of playing and defeating the faculty. The Seniors, however, were not as adept at volleyball, and the Middlers were the victors in the interclass competitions. This year a Junior A.A. Board was added to help the Association publicize coming athletic events.

Soccer
Contrary to school tradition the varsity soccer team had an undefeated season this year, playing MacDuffie, Stoneleigh-Prospect, Mary Burnham, and taking part in the Northfield TrSchool Field Day. We extended the soccer season this year and played MacDuffie again in the spring.

Field Hockey
People say that winning isn't everything, and at Northampton that is an unspoken truth. With Kay Tobler, a captain valiant to the end, the team won a single game against Mary Burnham. Everyone hopes that next year the team can win two games and maybe even more.

Basketball
J. V. Basketball
Although the basketball team won only one game, it did try courageously and under the able direction of Eva Paloheimo, improved immensely. Unfortunately, the opposing teams also improved. Let's try again next year.
The Junior Varsity Basketball team, this year ably coached by Mrs. Brown, worked hard at many practices to develop technique, speed, and accuracy. With the exception of one game against MacDuffie, the team enjoyed a wellearned undefeated season.

Volleyball
Volleyball has become a popular "in-betweenseason" sport at Northampton. The first game was a Green and White competition which the Green team won (2-1). Although the varsity team did not have much time to practice, they succeeded in winning both their matches against MacDuffie. The last game, however, was a hardfought battle which our team, undefeated for two years, lost to Stoneleigh-Prospect.

Softball
The softball team played five games, winning one from Stoneleigh-Prospect, and losing to Northampton High School and to MacDuffie. Although they lost, the team took great pleasure in the fact that the games were close and hard-fought. Special recognition goes to Mrs. Brown, the coach, who gave much time and energy to the team; to Eva Paloheimo, and to Carol Phillips, who were excellent outfielders; to Pam Oddy, the captain, who thinks she pitched her team to a losing season; and finally to Debby Norton, the catcher, who bravely caught all those hard pitches.

Orchesis
Orchesis has been a very active club this year under the direction of Mrs. Montgomery and Mrs. Brown. Orchesis organized the Morris dancers for the Christmas Banquet, entertained parents and guests on Parents' Weekend, invited the modern dance group from the University of Massachusetts to perform for the school, and contributed many of the dancers for the Wizard of Oz dance pageant on Commencement Weekend. When the club was not busy rehearsing for their various presentations, they met weekly to do muscle-stretching exercises.

The Riding Club, recently established at Northampton, went to the Martin School of Horsemanship in Somers, Connecticut, during the fall and winter terms. There the girls practiced riding under experienced instructors. The club also participated in an interschool horse show and many of the girls were awarded ribbons. The club plans to continue as an active part of the athletic program.

Commencement 1965
The Faculty Show Friday night opened the 1965 Commencement Weekend. Saturday morning in Last Prayers athletic awards were presented, the new members of the Cum Laude Society were inducted, the new club presidents and L'Ormeau editors were announced. Special recognition went to: Julie Jennison and Eva Paloheimo, the new Green and White Team Captains, respectively; Pam Oddy, the most courteous senior; Debby Norton, the recipient of the Student Council bracelet; and Barbara and Elizabeth Smith, the recipients of the white blazer, the highest award of the school.
Saturday afternoon under cloudy skies the May Court and a large audience saw The Wizard of Oz, the most ambitious dance pageant ever undertaken. Phoenix Night ceremonies were held indoors because of the rain. The seniors' songs and the replies were well-aimed and well-sung. The traditional fire-place was replaced by a wastebasket.
During the Step-Sing which followed, "Seniors Are We" was sung for the last time by the seniors as they passed the steps to the Middlers who sang "Seniors Are We" for the first time. Student Council Induction, in which the six new council officers took oaths of office, followed.
Sunday dawned bright and clear. The seniors began it with an exclusive breakfast. Later in the morning a Baccalaureate service was held.
Soon after luncheon the Commencement exercises began. The Commencement speaker, Miss Jeannette McPherrin, Dean of Freshmen and Sophomores at Wellesley College, gave the seniors excellent advice concerning their college years ahead. After the address Mr. McMillen awarded the academic prizes to: Marie-Henriette Carre for excellence in the combined fields of history and English and for her participation and versatility in the musical activities at school; Hera Cohn-Haft for excellence in English IV, French IV, Italian III, and for a faultless advanced math exam; Georgiana dePaul for excellence in French V; Pauline Eskenasy for excellence in Italian II; Billie Gadd for contributing most of the life of the school and exemplifying religion in her daily life; Laura Gould for enthusiastic and outstanding interest in social sciences during her four years at Northampton; Susan Jacob for progress in art and an exceptionally fine notebook; Diane Prentice for exceptional achievement in art; Gale Sarner for bringing new life to an old activity Hampsters; and Ruth Sharpe for excellence in French III.
