ACKNOWLEDGMENT The Saxifrage hoard wishes to extend to various faculty members its appreciation for the encouragement and advice that helped us make this book a possibility. To Mr. Harrington, our advisor, we are especially thankful. ' Twas his keen insight that saved us bom the shoals, and on the other hand ' twas his deep sense of humor that made us forget some things and forge ahead. We thank in turn Miss Goodfellow, for her help in the Alumni records, and Miss McCarthy, Miss Magoon, Miss Lawler, Miss Conlon. Mr. Randall, and Mr. Livermore for their advice and cooperation. And now a word of farewell to some of our faculty who this year are to leave our institution. Miss Elizabeth D. Perry, dean of women and supervisor of music, has been granted a year ' s leave of absence from her duties here. The whole Normal School will greatly miss the presence of our loved teacher, whose twenty-five years of -i rvice here at school have been an inspiration to all who have come under her kindly guidance. The Class of Twenty-Two will never forget Miss Perry. Miss Mattie A. Cole, supervisor of commercial work in the Junior High School, has tendered her resignation after having been connected with the Normal School for twenty-five years. At all times Miss Cole has been a firm friend of all the students, and her resignation will leave a gap in the ranks of the faculty. May the future years be filled with health and happiness for her. Miss Caroline Hagar, supervisor of intermediate grades at the Day Street School, has resigned from that position to live in California. Miss Hagar is another member of the faculty who resigns after a quarter of a century teaching in the training schools connected with the Normal School. We wish her many more years of good health and happiness. Four of our faculty members are leaving us this year to enter the matrimonial -Kite. Miss Elsie Schmidt, librarian, who has been with the school since 1916, is to marry Mr. Lyman Sleeper, instructor in the continuation schools of Fitchburg. She will always be remembered as the patient, kind instructor who so many times had to forbear with us during our noisy study periods. Miss Eois Mossman, instructor in handcrafts, is the second member who is to be married. Her fiance, Mr. Harry Howard, is employed in the office of the Simonds Manufacturing Company. The Day Street School will miss from its faculty Miss Pauline Moore, assistant supervisor of primary grades. She intends to be married soon to Mr. John Shields, salesman for the Whitney Paper Box Company, Leominster. The last member of the faculty who has resigned this year to be married is Miss Ellen ( . Magoon, instructor of English. Miss Magoon has been with us but one short year, but during that time she has won the esteem and respect of all the students here. Her marriage to Prof. Randall Waterman of Dartmouth will take place this summer. Our best wishes for happiness in their homes go with them.

. (,. r.s mi k ' i ' in 1 Smith Street, Fitchburg Vnna has served as the president of her class both faithfully and well, fulfilling all duties with an ability all her own. Many a time sin- serves for the pleasure of others. Some often think that she rules self-supreme but they don ' t know Anna. See nna, see Rena, for they both understand the long and short of it. . XA KAAKINEN 217 Mechanic Street, Fitchburg Anna has lived up her motto for four years. As vice-presi- dent she has helped to steer our barque over the troubled seas. She has become so proficient at the work that we expect to see her steering someone else soon. They say Anna is quiet, but then — they haven ' t seen her in Quincy. Noted for her roguish exes. HELEN MILDRED CASHMAN 80 Canton Street, Fitchburg During the past three years Helen has served as class secre- tary and has Idled that capacity with abil ' ty and dexterity. Some day we expect to see her displaying her oratorical ability for the cause of Woman Suffrage. Noted for her laugh. RENA MARY McCARTHV 163 Middle Street, Leominster She may he small — oh, my! Her mathematical ability has more than taken care of our class treasury according to economic principles. Her chief pastime seems to he enjoying rides on the F. 1.., but why not, for it connects Leominster with good old I- ' . X. S.
