=Q= for the Quest the whole class did make
When told to make rhymes for our Tatler's sake.
=R= for Radiators to which we all swarm
To dry off our stockings and get our toes warm.
=S= is for Silver, that coupled with blue
Is the symbol to which we shall ever be true.
=T= is for Tourney 'twixt the White and the Gold.
But 'tis fought with balls instead of swords bold.
=U= is uniform. When that badge we wear
We must look to upholding Northrop's standards so fair.
=V= for Valentine party, which the seventh form had.
Favors, verses, and dancing made our hearts glad.
=W= for Winter Sports. There's no fun more thrilling,
Whether skating or sliding or in the snow spilling.
=X= is unknown, so why trouble with it.
We'll leave it alone and not wear out our wit.
=Y= is for Yells. We give them with vim
When sports are on foot in our lower gym.
=Z= for Zipper boots, our greatest delights.
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.
