FOREWORD

SCHOOL days are joy days; days filled with the pleasures of friendships and the gladness of intimacy, with the satisfaction of work well done and the pride in having done it for one’s school. And we at Northrop School have been blessed with such days from the time of four entering as kindergarteners, up through grammar school and our subsequent joining of the League; on through these last days when, as high school girls, we took a real part in the activities of school life, and felt ourselves to have each one a share, however small, in the great whole, our Alma Mater. And it is to recollection of these joys and to the memory of our school days that we of the senior class wish to dedicate the 1926 Tatler.

“Young and yet so wise”“The soft, bright curl of her hair and lash
And the glance of her sparkling eye
I saw, and knew she was out for a dash
As her steed went prancing by.”

Bernice Alyne BechtolMary Elizabeth Brackett
“Her hair is not more sunny than her heart”“She has a natural wise sincerity and a merry happiness”

Esther Mabel DavisLydia Mortimer Forest
“The glass of fashion and the mold of form”“She giggles when she’s happy, and one might even say
That when there is no reason, she giggles anyway”

Marion Josephine HumeAnn Wilder Jewett
“For she’s a jolly good fellow,
Her school mates all declare,
She’s out for all athletics,
There’s nothing she won’t dare”
“True worth cannot be concealed”

Beatrice Myrtice JoslinMarion Harriet McDonald
“There is mischief in that woman”“Happy I am, from care I’m free;
Why aren’t all the rest contented like me?”

Josephine ReinhartMarion Jean Savage
“Nothing is impossible to a willing heart”“The will can do
If the soul but dares”

Nancy Morris Stevenson

“A perfect woman, nobly planned,
To warn, to comfort, to command”
