Friar Tuck. In our Robin Hood play
He was bluff, fat, and hearty in quite the right way.
But they keep us from getting too much outside air.
That when we come down, we can’t stay on our feet.
We think we’ll not speak it each day in the year.
For rather than sad we choose to be jolly.
And furnished good sport for every class member.
Who started the Protestant reformation of old.
And we surely need him to combat Sevens’ pluck.
Though sometimes we slip, we strive on just the same.
The whole seventh grade; a gay time was reported.
To tell how brave sailors to our land made way.
When told to make rhymes for our Tatler’s sake.
To dry off our stockings and get our toes warm.
Is the symbol to which we shall ever be true.
But ’tis fought with balls instead of swords bold.
We must look to upholding Northrop’s standards so fair.
Favors, verses, and dancing made our hearts glad.
Whether skating or sliding or in the snow spilling.
We’ll leave it alone and not wear out our wit.
When sports are on foot in our lower gym.
Zip off the last minute and fly up two flights.

SEVENTH FORM EVENTS
SPORTS
Early in the fall the sevenths and eighths had a number of baseball games. Although the sevenths tried very hard, they were always defeated. However, spring is coming, and they may have better luck.
In midwinter when games are indoors, captain ball is the popular sport. The two classes always play two games. In the first one the sevenths were badly beaten, but in the second they came close to victory with a score of 3 to 2.
The winter outdoor fun is on a bumpy, crooked hill back of school used for sliding. Down it goes a continuous stream of sleds, toboggans, and skis. Sometimes an overloaded sled drops a passenger on the way, and sometimes a load lands upside down in a drift, but it’s all part of the fun.
PARTIES
At the beginning of school the seventh form were guests of the eighth form at the opening League party. We danced a great deal, and we laughed at the Wild West show and the autoride of by-gone days. Then we climbed to the top floor for refreshments and more laughing.
On the eleventh of February to return the courtesy, we invited the eighths to a valentine party. After decorating our guests with gay caps, we danced for a while. The event of the day, however, was the valentine boxes. There were three fat ones stuffed with valentines for us all. By the time we had exclaimed over them, we were ready to have refreshments. Cheers of appreciation ended the party.
CHAPEL PROGRAMS
This year we have been visited by both a princess and a duke. The princess came from Damascus and gave us an ancient story of her city—the story of Naaman the Leper. The duke, who was from France, showed us pictures of beautiful old French buildings, which he is trying to keep from being destroyed.
Early in March our own class took part in a chapel program by demonstrating some lessons in musical appreciation.
Piping merrily William the Piper floated down the meadow Brooks seated at the Helm of his boat. Being a New-man in this country he stopped to ask his way of a Miller. The miller directed him across the Lee to a little town called Goldsborough. There he stopped at the inn of the Van Nest. After a good sleep, a shave with his Gillette, and a hearty meal of Thomson’s baked beans and Wagner’s canned Pease, he was much refreshed.
The next morning he continued his wanderings, but unwittingly he trespassed on the land of a farmer
