We, the Class of 1940, dedicate this Annual to you, Miss Hartridge, whose watchful care, loving encouragement, and helpful criticism have guided us through many years. If sometime we gain, even in a small degree, the respect and favor of our own world, we \now it will be because you have inspired in us your vision that each should be her own best self. Quidem, ex omnibus rebus quas mihi fortuna tribuit, nihil habeo quod cum amicitia earum duarum possum comparare. C icero (adapted)

And to you, Miss Mapelsden, this dedication of our Annual will give, we hope, some idea of how much happiness your gracious influence has given us. Ton have quietly and delightfully made the background of our lives at school a place where it was "easy to wor\ and good to play." W e wish to you and Miss Hartndge all that you yourselves most desire. W herever you are you will be surrounded by the loving thoughts and wishes of hundreds of Hartridge Alumnae.

The Old Order Changeth In everyone’s life there are some things that one thinks can never happen, and when they do happen, they leave us empty and wondering. This was our feeling one morning last winter when Miss Hartridge and Miss Mapelsden told us they were leaving. W e remember that the school, from the sixth grade to the seniors, were sitting in the auditorium. Miss Hartridge removed her glasses, walked down the aisle between the rows of seats, and in a simple way, told us of their plan. No one spoke.

No one knew how to speak.

The school without Miss

Hartridge and Miss Mapelsden wasn’t school. From that day on we all slowly realized what school life would be like without them and tried to imagine morning exercises without Miss Hartridge, the Fair without Miss Mapelsden, Oakwood without either of them, the concerts, plays, field days, horse shows, and our hockey games without these two on the sidelines. W e thought how queer it would seem without their red car, how no winter would be winter without Miss Hartridge in her fur coat, how no spring would be spring without Miss Mapelsden and her lilies-of-the-valley. It was a hard thought to think about. It was even harder to think of the school without Miss Hartridge’s ever-ready advice, her thoughtfulness, her wit, and her understanding, and without Miss Mapelsden’s friendliness, her serenity, and her quiet competence. However, we have reason to feel pleasant anticipation as well as regret, for it is Miss Hurrey and Miss Sleeper who will be the new heads of the school. W e have already come to enjoy and admire them both, and hope they find as much pleasure in running the school as Miss Hartridge and Miss Mapelsden found. So it is with joy that we greet our new principals and with sorrow that we say good-bye to Miss Hartridge and Miss Mapelsden.

Class History The impressive class of 1940 started in its humble beginnings with only three of its now twenty-four members, namely, Peg Voorhees of the enormous questioning eyes, bouncing Sue Ramsey, and round and fat Bobbie Smith.

They played con­

tentedly through the Kindergarten and were joined happily in the first grade by Susy Long, who was to become the eternal class treasurer, and Phebe Stevens with the Vitamin A hair.

The five of us gained rapidly in knowledge.

In the seventh

grade along came Nancy Rausch, destined to be at the head of everything.

As we

made the break from the Elementary to the awe-inspiring Academic, the class was enlarged by a noisy bunch, Shirley Mulford, Jean Barlow, Anita Elmes, Dickie Sumner, who won all the athletic honors, but wc found we never were to have any peace again. that year.

Aimee Lacombe of the “Golden Locks” was another welcome addition Second Academic, and at last we were grown up!

Nancy Cooper, Bar­

bara Coleman, Jean Haydock joined us, and Ginny Coerr came up from the Sunny South and impressed us with her accent.

Dot Linke and Patty Rentsler augmented

our Sophomore year and soon proved their debating ability. Our Junior year we were so popular that five more girls, Jessie Nunnally, Karla Yepsen, Betty Thomas, Betsy Royal, and that dynamo of energy Ruthie Finninger, came to raise our scholastic standard. 1940 — Hail!

To the Mighty Senior Class.

W e were proud to welcome

the winsome B. L. Daubenspeck to complete our number and make us one of the largest and best classes ever to be graduated from the Hartridge School. B. S. and S. R., '40.

The mouth that has the habit of bursting into smiles in the very solemnest of places. W ho is she? Why, she’s the author of those knock-out stories about the Barlow family—father and his ’cello, mother and her gardening, and the source of information as to how many children each member is rapidly producing. The girl who does the unexpected with the freshness of originality, who is a nonconformist yet fits perfectly, and who peps up any party with a wealth of humor. “Hey Jeanie, Mrs. Beatty wants to see you about your Virgil.’’ Crash! ! ! ! “Oh well, I guess that picture wasn’t tacked up so securely anyway.’’ A th letic Representative, '39; Vice-President of S tu den t Council, '39; Captain of W h i t e T eam , ’39, ’40; Class H ockey, '36, '37, ’38, '39, '40; Varsity H o ck ey , ’38, ’40; Class Basketball, ’36, ’37, '38, '39, '40; W h ite Basketball, ’38; sub V arsity Basketball, ’39; C hoir, ’40; Scenery, '40; Glee Club, ’39, '40; D ram atic Club, ’39, ’40: R ein d eer in “ Christm as 'R o u n d the W o r l d ,” ’36: E g y ptian in “ Caesar and C leo p atra,” ’37; Cheat-the-D evil in “ T h e P ip er,’ ’38; A rch an g el R ap hael in “ H o ly N i g h t ,” '39: Ivan Borolsky in “ C aptain A p p le ja c k ,” ’39; W a lb e rg in “ M erto n of th e Movies,” '40.

Ginny’s the little girl from the South with the voice like Jean A rthur’s, who balances the mentality of the class so that its standing isn’t purely moronic. Ginny won’t talk anyone’s left ear off, but she’s one not to remain too silent. She takes life as it comes and has a personality that’s as warm as the South and mixed with a bit of Yankee life. She has good sense and funny whims and a winning smile and is never one to lose her temper or have a blue mood. Ginny, don’t ever change.

A superior-looking dusty, we don’t mean dirty, blonde sits in the last row of a class, jotting notes on a page with that this-is-myfavorite-subject look in her eye. W c all know better. Inspect her notebook one day and you'll admit a good 90 per cent of it consists of examples of the Coleman art. Some day La Coleman will be sitting pretty with a brush in one hand and a million dollars in the other. Right now she’s a languid, loose-limbed girl with a gift of giving an old question a new answer, an easy-going life, and a talent in writing as well as dancing. W e don’t mean to make her the serious-minded person we’ve painted her, for Bobbie has her fun, has her fits, yet she still leaves you with an impression of being calm, cool, and collected.

“Vivacious little creature, isn’t she! W hat lovely hair! Is it naturally wavy? Yes. Have you noticed the smile! No, I think it’s rather impish. Maybe so. She does act well, doesn't she? So unaware of the audience.” These countless comments all pertain to the one and only "Coop," the pride of the Dramatic Club and the head of the Student Council, who can sometimes be serious, sometimes gay. W hat one of us hasn’t heard her urge in her most pleading voice, “Girls, please be quiet in study hall.”

Who is that girl that groans, "How can I last the day! I'll go home after geometry. W hy do they do this to me?” W ho’s that girl with the infallible knack for ditching sports? W ho’s that woman with the laugh that sounds as though she had never laughed before? W ho’s that fern fatal with the innocent face and the spirit of Satan behind it? W ho’s that girl who falls asleep during a class discussion and cracks an “A ” on a test the next day? Need we go further? Nippy, the one and only Nippy.

Undecided

W here is that infectious laughter coming from? Not from that blonde over there in the light green sweater? W hy, yes, you’re right, it’s Shirl, with the customary Virgil book under her arm, and if you wait till she recovers and turns around, you’ll find that she has a saucy, retrousse nose that exactly matches that continuous strain of mirth. One more thing, beware, girls, and don’t call her up to do anything on Friday night, because she’s always in a vague, hesitant mood as to whether she is going to have a certain strange dinner engagement or not. Well, almost always. Shirl is also a needed part of the hockey and basketball teams. “Eoff, my good-natured lamb, will you please stop laughing long enough to go down with me and get a sandwich? I’m starving.”

That inert look of curiosity, that winsome smile, those eyes that crinkle when she laughs, her poems that would make Shakes' peare and Keats roll over in their graves, the long spattering stream of chatter, the long, long hair, those are the things that remind us of Ruthie. She has an insatiable interest for one thing and a detestable hate for another. People roll in the aisles when she talks about them. W hat would we do without Ruthie’s poetry, Ruthie’s descriptions, Ruthie’s Buick, or for that matter, Ruthie?

JEAN LEE HAYDOCK "Jeanie

Bennington

A slight girl with dark hair hunches over a book in deep concentration. Don’t tell me that’s Jeanie studying! No, she’s still normal; that’s just a comic book she’s engrossed in. Jean, you know, is one of the erratically brilliant girls of the class. She can (to the dismay of her fellows) sail through an exam with flying colors without even cracking a book. Then mystery rides again because she isn't a bookworm—far from it. Jean can cook up a mess of devilish fun with no trouble at all. If it isn’t turning the clocks of study hall back ten minutes, it’s writing a hair'raising theme on the electrocution of a colored man. But wait, this versatile Jem is also a talented actress. Ah -there we have a complete fleeting glimpse. “O. K. Jeanie, turn the page. I’ve finished Dick Tracy.”

One day her hair’s up, next day it’s down, and the day after that you can't tell where it will be. You can’t tell where Dottie will be either, but she’s usually up and seldom down. One day she’s a queen; next day she can play the role of a boarding house land' lady. Whatever she is or whatever she does, it’s always with vim, vigor, and versatility. Dottie may change and change again with her hither and yon personality, but with Dot it’s forever Lawrenceville and air-mail letters.

W ho is that platinum blonde with her arms akimbo gesticu­ lating so seriously about the latest happening in her hectic love life? No, she’s not play-acting. It's just Shirl in one of her usual worried states. But don’t let her convince you the world’s come to an end unless she fails to keep her history notebook in the Mulford tradition of neatness, and ceases to think, talk, and write about horses. Oh, yes, and even though Shirl is maddeningly methodical, she has been known, when that balmy season, the spring, sets in (of course this is in strictest confidence), to skip a few sports periods.

Hot summer day—inside mosquitoes buzz at the window shades of study hall; outside the faint humdrum of voices provides a low undertone— "Hey, where in the devil did — The intruder notices a young girl reading at her desk. This is Jessie, the girl with an unbelievable amount of will power, a love for study, and a store of determination. She stands out because she is equal to any responsibility and big enough to carry it out. 1 call this really aiming high, and if she doesn't make the grade in this system of life, I don’t know who will. Confidentially, girls, she is human, and has a weakness for horses and the South, a Georgia drawl, and a lovely voice.

A slick, streamlined, light blue convertible speeds swiftly down the street. After one becomes accustomed to the bright glare on the fenders and chromium, you notice a girl at the wheel with dark brown curly hair which whips saucily around her face. This lucky girl is our Nancy, and to put it mildly, she is the mainstay of the senior class. Nan, the ever willing, takes on the burden and the responsibility of the big jobs and sees them through with a good nature and hard work which brings her out on top. W e also must not forget her dramatic ability and the natural easiness with which she faces an audience. Do you want a ride? Just hail a certain sleek blue comet that speeds down the street at 8:10 every morning, and Nan will screech on her brakes and give you a lift along with her usual good morning smile. Nan is w onderful that way!

ELIZABETH HARWOOD ROYAL “Betsy"

U. S. Naval Mission to Brazil

Rio de Janeiro Brazil, S. A.

Entered 1939

Undecided

A round face, black hair, tan skin, and brown eyes. That’s our Betsy. Betsy’s one of those who lead the “high marks club,” whose eyebrows stretch and wrinkle, and whose face is always full of intense curiosity and interest. Yet Betsy lets up from her books and does not belong under the category of being over studious and book infested. She finds her time for fun, for a little of the devil, and for her friends. Betsy, with her talent for art and her elfish manners, is one of those who are always popular.

BARBARA SUMMERBELL SMITH "Bobbie

Wheelock

“W hat will it be, girls?” This is accompanied by a knowing smile from a slender girl with light brown hair who is wearing one of her saucy little lumpers with its billowing white sleeves. This girl is none other than Bobbie Smith, a neat little dancer who could put Yolanda to shame, and who combines with this a gift for playing that is amazing. But enough of this. She is already in demand. “ Hey, Bobbie, please play ‘Starlit Hour" no, play ‘Night and Day.’ Well, there she goes, off to satisfy her public.

Phub! Her glistening red hair, her gesticulating hands, her silliness, her high marks, make her the mainstay and three ring circus she is. Where does she get her voice, her brain, her humor, and her fun? Phub, who was always class president and head of the fair committee, finds time to be in a play, sing in the Glee Club, and be at the head of the class in marks all at once.

W ho would ever think that an announcement in morning exercises could be made to sound like a news broadcast during the European crisis, a flash from W alter Winchell's radio program, an imitation of Dillinger's machine gun? I guess no one did till Dickie came along. I think when the rest of us fall on the wayside and go to our respective places, Dickie will go on leading the “girls”—urging them on to anything whether it be another basketball game or a W est Point hop! Her spotless white Wimbleton, her snappy brown eyes, that shock of brown hair, her “Ipana ad” teeth, and her contagious personality make Dickie the inimitable person she is. P resid en t of A.

Tommy Thomas, a girl with light brown hair, lovely eyes, and a ready smile, one of the first girls to cut her hair in hangs, a fad which now has spread like wildfire among the boarders. An artist? Yes! She can wield a fancy brush. Athletic? Of course! She's on the hockey and basketball teams, too, and naturally, in the Glee Club. I'll leave it to you.

"W ell, girls, you’ll have to stand it! You'll just have to bear with me in my sorrow! I can t help it! That’s Peg referring to the state of her hair. She’s done it in the “hag” style. Whenever I think of Peggy, 1 see a skyhigh pile of geometry corrections, two or three history notebooks, and Peg bent over them—having a harassed conversation with a council member as to how to keep the school quiet, going into ecstasies over Long Island, talking about her weight, and having a ten minute row over one joke. That’s Voor; the girl who can usually find the funny side of something, who can stand being the brunt of a joke, who looks as though she'd die if she had one more thing to do.

Class Prophecy The Class of 1940 of the Hartridge School, whose reputation was one of eccentricity, has not in the years gone by lost its traits and characteristics. Each and every' one has followed the life destined for her. The tasks, situations, and difficulties in which they are now found are completely inevitable and wholly according to their nature. W e invite you to read the column of one of them who will give you an up-to-the-minute summary and the whys and wherefores of twenty or more seniors. During a stroll in one of the W aldorf’s corridors, the scent of April in Paris, Kew in Lilac Time, Exotic Algiers at any time, drifted in clouds over the transom of a door. The sound of a low female voice singing the generous words of that old love song “W hy Not Take All of Me" dripped out in the hallway. By the way she sang it one would have thought anyone taking all of her would have to hire Sisser Brothers. W c entered the room and saw a large bed, custom-built, and decorated by a canopy of pink chiffon, silk sheets, and downy quilts which rose sky-high like a pile of freshly sheared swan's-down. W e plotted a course around the bed and chiffon, and ended in a bathroom furnished by Rubenstein, Arden, and Gray. In a raspberry tub of glistening foam sat the victim of luxury gloating on the fact that she had slept until three o’clock, that it was Monday, and that she did it just to please herself in thinking of all those poor fools who had to go to school. Miss Elmes says her life is a dream come true. Skipping through the social notes yesterday we came across the item that Miss Uneeda and her bisquits, the former Mrs. Hoffman and her beverages, who was in turn the former Mrs. Black, Mrs. Starr, Mrs. Frost, and Mrs. Gorham, had arrived from Europe for a short stay, during which she would write that book on Love and its ins and outs. No one pulled the wool over our eyes, for under those plushed titles we recognized the little name of Susy Ramsey. Feeling that Mrs. Uneeda was a criterion on the subject of her book, and quoting her statement, "I teethed on it,” we dropped in to consult her on the birth of her work and also on European affairs. The results of the monologue were that Her Highness was down with men, had just returned from Europe, was off to Nassau, that she had the most Divine time on the continent, that the East simply breathed with foreign men and their Eton ties, and that she’d left her Virginia farm for an Italian villa with a count thrown in and Mr. Uneeda thrown out. Oh! Europe and its affairs? Her book, well, you go and talk to her and ten to one you’ll learn of affairs, but not European.

The Pulitzer and Nobel Prize winning play “All This and Hartridge Too,” written by J. L. Haydock, is in its sixth year on Broadway. It’s competing with that run of “Tobacco Road.” Miss Haydock has written several other best sellers and prize winners, such as “W ho Stole the Lost Chord?” , “Murder by Day, “Murder by Night,” and “The Adventure of a Smoke Ring.” Some of the success of Miss Haydock's play must be attributed to that con­ queror of the critics, that siren of the stage and screen, Nancy Cooper. In these six years of her role in “All This and Hartridge Too” Miss Cooper has won the praise of both the sick, the well; the rich, the poor; the aged, the young; the critics and us. I heartily advise any of you downhearted women to stop in at 200,000 Park Avenue at the Parlor of Pulchritude to have yourself put in keeping physically with modern times. That hair-crazed, scissor-maddened, coiffeur-incensed Elizabeth Thomas will make you the new woman you’ve longed to be, on the condition you give her a free hand with the comb and scissors. Ever since her days in Hartridge she has been living up to her saying that “Variety is the Spice of Life.” Walking down Fifth Avenue today we spotted a figure who looked like one in a seance with her great-grandmother. In her hand she carried a large pad and pencil. Every three or four feet she stopped and wrote a few words across the page. Behind her she trailed an express wagon stacked high with sheaves of manuscripts. She had a retinue of Fifth Avenue’s curiosity seekers, and not until her gaze hit mine did 1 recognize her. “Ruthie Finninger,” I screamed as only I can scream. After much awakening and greeting Miss Finninger came to and announced that she was engrossed in her poem called “Life and Where Does It Get You?” She couldn't leave her work, so she toted it around with her. She says you can never tell when the spirit will move you, and she wants to be there when it does. A note on pink paper scented with Old Lavender gave our mail a different aroma the other day. M r s .----- of Cozy Corner at the bottom of Happiness Lane in the quiet love-infested neighborhood of Nestling Krotc'h invited us to teezie weezie. Mrs. ------ is the former Susie Long of the neat desk and the brown eyes. W e cordially accepted and trotted out to her small cottage.

glistening and young with a new outlook on life. Miss Voorhees is the fortunate experimentalist who has discovered the secret of removing excess from the hips, a treatment commonly known as “The Deflation of a Dowager." She lays claim to her first success in her younger days when she maddened herself with the zest to be svelte. W e find ourselves perpetually amazed at the female cyclone who is forever with her fingers in pies. Of course we mean Mrs. Dickie Sumner Blank. Probably Mrs. Blank's most outstanding accomplishment to date is combining the Boy Scouts with the Girl Scouts. Mrs. Blank says she remembers back in her Hartridge days how she longed to bring about a school called Hartridge'Lawrenceville'Exeter-Hill. Mrs. Blank is blessed with quintuplets: Bud, Bob, Wally, Jimmy, and Miracle. She has not yet decided whether her babies shall be trained for basketball or vaudeville. "I can never get them together," she said. “ Summer here, Summer there, you know." In the dimly lit hideaway hills of Dead Gulch, Wyoming, Nancy Rausch Autrey entertained last night at her Heigh-Ho-Silver Ranch in the midst of menacing longhorn steers. Mrs. Autrey’s costume consisted of ermine chaps, a mink Stetson, and a diamond studded belt. “Just something comfy to lounge in around the corrals," said Mrs. Autrey when she was complimented on her appearance. After dinner Mrs. Autrey rendered her latest interpretation of that Melody of the West, “Git Along, Little Cowboys.” ’Neath the mellowing moon and the blazing sun of Palm Beach, we hear that the waltz, foxtrot, tango, and the rumba have laid the path to matrimony. Barbara Bray Coleman, of the dance team “Moo and Bray," was married last week to her partner, Bill Moody. “W e shall dance through life together,” said the bride at her suite in the High Steppers’ Hotel. Love is an old story, but this time it’s told with a new light on an older angle. “I Love My Husband,” by Mrs. Dorothy Linke Rich, is now in its thirteenth edition in any color. Mrs. Rich urges young girls to seek peace and security and to send their sons to Lawrenceville. “There’s nothing like it," admonishes this brilliant woman. Remember the days when she raced through tennis tournaments with flying colors and cleaned up ping'pong matches with one eye closed? Aimee Laeombe has not faltered on her path of glory, for she has once more risen to the top to carry ofF the Wightman cup and is trying to squeeze it into her trophy room. Said Miss Laeombe, “W hen the score of the first game was 40—love, I began wondering where I’d put this cup.” In that low spacious farmhouse that rambles over several hills and valleys, rests M rs.------ , glorifying in the luxury and freshness of her country home.

now taken a brief pause from her social and charitable activities, and during her period of relaxation she heads the Committee of Bird Welfare Association, the Fresh Air Camp, the Reforestation of New York City, and is still an ardent fighter for a lost cause when she solicits for the Finnish Relief. Mrs. finds minutes to be one of the opera audience, to take part in an occasional song festival, to bring up her children who numbered four in the last census, and to eat breakfast with her husband.

My children, all ten of them, tottered home today only to tell me amid tears and sobs that their school days were over. Investigating their fate more carefully, I find that that child psychiatrist, Barbara Smith, has decided that she has done her share of work on the Lilliputian world, and has changed her famed nursery for marriage. W hat will become of our children and their unfinished education in the School for "Tots Teething and Tottering” will for the present remain unsolved. Says Miss Smith, "I have finally concluded that nurseries should begin in the home.”

Combing the political world for a tasty bit of news we came across an item that has aroused much fury, bewilderment, and devastation in the Senate. The cause of the eruption can be laid to a storm which blew in from the northeast in the form of a woman possessed with the idea of reorganizing the government. Need we hide her name any longer? Miss Patty Rentsler, who says she’s been itching to “do them over” since her debates in Current Events class, has finally thrown herself against the strong walls of the Senate, and is holding a filibuster in the House today. The gentlemen are at the ends of their rope. Some consult “The Taming of the Shrew” while others dive into “Caesar’s Conquest in Gaul.” They will go to any extreme to find ways of defeating “this bonfire of the Democracy.”

This month’s Harper’s Bazaar took its readers on a camera trip through the spacious grounds of “ Heaven on Earth,” the famed estate of the Connecticut hills. Sitting on a fence, surrounded by a herd of mares and stallions, and escorted by her favorite groom, sat the platinum blonde of the saddle, Shirley Mulford. Her stables have won the crowns of the racetrack, polo field, and bridle path, and will go on winning with little competition. Miss Mulford’s bed is straw, her food is oats, and her clothing jodhpurs. Horses are her love, labor, and life.

Our staff has been struggling with Miss Shirley Eoif for several years now in her attempt to crash Hollywood. W e have cringed at her every rebuff and tingled with delight at every hopeful sign. W e must explain that Miss Eoff is a very near and dear friend of ours. Now we are as proud as new papas to announce that our little friend has not only crashed Hollywood, but is a star!

Disney’s latest release (and by far the best), ’'The Laughing Princess,” you will know that our Shirley is responsible for that infectious titter with which the princess wins the hearts of bold knights. W e happened to be hanging around the other day when the “President Margaret” docked after a world cruise. W e hastened to see if any passengers of note would issue forth. Having stared hopefully into many faces, we were about to retreat to our office when we saw wandering down the gangplank none other than that famous traveler, Miss Karla Yepsen, followed by several stewards bearing poly' stickered trunks. W e followed her till she came to a halt and a big “Y.” And while a panting little man set about examining her baggage, we questioned Miss Yepsen about her favorite country. W e had a hard time pinning her down; she wanted to be fair to them all. Finally she admitted that Egypt did have its advantages. She especially felt an affinity for the sphinxes—they are so easy to talk to. The fight for better hours, more sleep, and lighter chains for the fugitives in the Georgia chain gangs is now in its tenth round. Miss Nunnally, who was1 the Jessie Nunnally of Hartridge 1940, first tried her battles both in English and French in her classes in the Academic. Miss Nunnally is a learned character, and I know we all are familiar with her in that riot she caused last year sometime when she wanted to glue up the crack in the Liberty Bell. W e didn’t get a glimpse of this promoter of prisoners’ welfare, but as she flew over New York we heard her Southern drawl above the roar of the clipper as she was asking the pilot if he could drop her off on the Empire State Building. W e’ve all wanted to lead a secluded life at one time or another. W e all get fed up with the hubbub of the city, but no one ever did so except Virginia Coerr. She lies under the magnolia trees, with her mint julep and her dogs, relaxing in the luxury of privacy. Once in a while she claws her way out of the Spanish moss and takes a trip to the North to sneer at the rioting throngs, but with a look of sorrow and pity for the madding crowd, she leaves the metropolis and sneaks home to peace. Another battleship off the ways, another million spent, another bottle of champagne smashed, and once again Betsy Royal has launched one of her godchildren of the navy. Betsy, the queen of the seas, has been smashing bottles since she could first hold one. Miss Royal is the child, mother, and grandmother of the fleet. When she dies, she will be buried as a true salt wrapped in Old Glory and seaweed. Her sons will all be destined for the water, and her daughters will be eligible to sailors only and are to be old maids before they’re allowed to link their lives with the army. Miss Royal has been following her battleships and destroyers like a sea gull, but now at her journey’s end, she says she will return to brood on her nest, get married, have children, and watch her children have children. All this for the Navy!

Last W ill and Testament W e, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Forty, believed to be in our right minds, do hereby declare this to be our last W ill and Testament. A rticle I. Sue Ramsey leaves to Joan Shoemaker her option on the seat by the window in Miss Hurrey’s room, with a clear view of Seventh Street and its fire engines, ambulances, and queer people, provided she has enough tact and finesse to pull the shade dbwn and keep up with the recitation at the same time. She hands her well-warmed radiator seat in English Class to any cold-blooded Southerner who wants warmth in winter. A rticle II. To Nan Laing and Yvonne Derrey, Jean Barlow and Sue Ramsey both leave their ability to change the studious moods of any bookworms to one of agitation and disgust by their incomparable song and dance routine, which takes place during any too-silent morning study hall. A rticle III. To Barbara Forcey and Peg Taylor, Nippy Elmes leaves her trick-of-the-year of falling asleep in class but getting “A ’s” when needed. She says “pulling hair over one’s eye keeps out the light and makes one’s nap easier.” A rticle IV. To the head of the A. A., Dickie Sumner leaves her undying efforts to change a stiff announcement in morning exercises to a chummy greeting. A rticle V. Barbara Coleman leaves her notebook of gorgeous women to lighten the hours of some school depraved girl. A rticle VI. Nancy Cooper leaves to Mary Beth Mooney her unrivaled superiority on the stage, her wide smile to Lavinia, and to Peggy Grubb the bell. A rticle VII.

Ginny Coerr leaves to Jo Thomas her Greta Garbo Hair-do.

A rticle VIII. Patty Rentsler leaves to Lavinia Wicoff her wren-like trot, hoping she can utilise it without the aid of her well-worn crutch. A rticle IX. Sue Long, possessor of an incurable walk which closely resembles a Mexican Jumping Bean, bestows it on Yvonne, with the hope that she will not coincide with too many doorways, girls, or inkwells. A rticle X. Aimee Lacombe leaves her emblem-covered sweat shirt to Patty Leonard, believing that space can be found for one or two more decorations.

A rticle XI. Shirley Eoff and Sue Long leave their much-practiced ability at dropping classes to Nan Laing. However, any free time which these culprits have succeeded in securing is spent not in resting their weary brains, but in wrestling with Virgil. A t this last statement Jean Barlow throws in an exclamation point! A rticle XII. Jean Haydock and Barbara Coleman leave their disappearing act and their abundant supply of excuses when corrective classes come around, to the whole class. A rticle XIII. Karla Yepsen leaves her peaches and cream complexion to Peggy Grubb, and her angelic disposition to Jenny Hackett. A rticle XIV.

Peggy Voorhees and Phebe Stevens leave their round-trip tickets to Florida to the whole class. A rticle XV. Jessie Nunnally leaves her Southern drawl to Jenny Hackett, and her habit of chattering French through a heated French discussion to Jo Thomas. A rticle XVI. Dot Linke leaves her knowledge of everybody’s why and where­ abouts to the class secretary. A rticle XVII. to Pat Leonard.

Betty Lee Daubenspeck leaves her demureness and reticence

A rticle XVIII.

Ruthie Finninger leaves her fiery athletic spirit to Peg Taylor, and her mammoth hair ribbons to Beppy Mooney. A rticle XIX. entertain at recess.

Bobbie Smith leaves the piano to anyone agreeable enough to

A rticle XX. Nancy Rausch leaves that gift of heading five or more com­ mittees at once and that good humor to Peggy Grubb, and her classy convertibles to Yvonne Derrey. A rticle XXL

Betsy Royal leaves her French accent and big eyes to Mary

Beth Mooney. A rticle XXII.

Shirley Mulford leaves her equestrian ability to Jean Baxter, and her advice on love to the lovelorn. A rticle XXIII.

on-coming seniors.
