FLORENCE AXXA BURNS 114 Winter Street, Leominster Everyone knows Florence, both because she is one of the popular members of the class and one of the best orators in the school. I Hiring those memorable debates how many times have we, her proud classmates, heard her vocal organs running on high in assembly, astonishing her eager open-mouthed listeners, and silencing the weak short-winded arguments of her poor adversary! She begins the day with a joy-ride from the cellu- loid city, which puis her in tune for her classes. Florence is interested in all activities of I- ' . . S., and we know she will carry this interest into her future work. C VTHERINE CANTY East Quincy Street. North Adams Catherine, the most attractive blonde in the whole class, lirst smiled on us one sultry September day. We immediately forgot the task oi registration and concerned ourselves with getting acquainted with her. Catherine is the only female representa- tive of that eternal city, North Adams, but if loyalty and - I sportsmanship are qualities exhibited by all North Adamsers, then Catherine is a true daughter of thai place. There have been rumors around school that Catherine is inter ( ied in the ( ti.n Union. If that ' s the case, we can see her making Weston sandwiches, too! M RTIS IRENE II K 75 Lynde Street, lardner Myrtis entered Normal with the rest of ib in the fall of 1920, i,nd immediately busied herself with the various activities ol her new life. During her two years ' stay here she has a hard and diligent worker, and the results of her labor have been well worth while. One thing we noticed last year was the mention of ham on her menu every day. We wish her sui in lur New Jersej position. 1 i.i r,i.i n J k IS CHILDS 29 Spring Street. I itchburg Betty wields her brush like a veritable Raphael, and for this reason -be was cb..sen as assistant drawing instructor for ■.ear. During this year we have seen obscure blackboards formed into beautiful gardens under the swift, sui of her crayon. She is known throughout the school ;i amiable and generous student. We hope all her desi lay CI He true.

MARIAN ELIZABETH BANNISTER 19 Tilton Street, Fitchburg All last year Marian studied pedagogy and method ai our sister school, Worcester, but September found her registered al I- ' . X. S. and putting into practice all the studying accomplished in the Heart of the Commonwealth. We have found her obliging and willing at all times to help in any of our activities. Ruth and Marian have been inseparables since firsl quarter and to them both we extend our best wishes for success. YVONNE MALVINA BELLROSE 7 Summer Street, West Warren When we lirst came to Normal we displayed (according to Yvonne) a decided ignorance of our home geography: and simply because we didn ' t know where West Warren was! But it wasn ' t many days before we found out its representative was all O. K. and ' a good sport — so we have judged the town to be worthy of our remembering it evermore. At first, Yvonne seems rather quiet and sh — but we hear there have been several real explosions when she found her cot sewed up so as to make sleeping in il impossible! Yvonne ' s idea of bliss is to be able to sit clown and knit a half-dozen sweaters in a day; and at the rate she does knit, we wouldn ' t be surprised if she could surpass that record. We strongly recommend her as a patient, tactful teacher. EOLIXE McKENDRY BEXT South Village, Ashby Whenever we bear Eoline talk the quotation comes to our mind, Her voice was soft and sweet, like winds in summer sighing. And we wish the occasion might permit so she could sing to us. Eoline is our prima donna and we are very, very proud of her. She and Gladyse are inseparables— their motto being, Where thou goest, there go I. MILLICENT ALETHEA BURGESS 190 Suffolk Street, Holyoke Here everyone, is Al — than whom there is no one more popu- lar and pleasant. ' Who has not known Al ready on all occa- sions to go awav out of her own path to make easy the way f .mother— whether by lending a darning needle or by shoulder- ine a heavy part in somebody ' s program to help the chairman ■put it over big. There are few who have not felt her helpful- ness, and we are in one accord to vote her our heartfelt thanks. 1 was the luckv winner of the first prize in the Wallace Music Essay Contest— and the school showed its approval in the mighty cheer it gave her name. She also is one of our stars before the footlights, having participated in nearly all our plays and outdoing herself in She Stoops to Conquer. but far trom being to,, studious, Al livens up many a class with some antic that never misses its mark. In gym work Al stands very high —and those green bloomers! oh, well, someone was jealous. If ,he possibilities of the future be measured by the accom- plishments of the past then our expectations will surely De gratified.

JANE ELIZABETH COLLINS 912 Robeson Street, Fall River I he first day we saw Jane ' s name listed on the register we knew ui 1 were going to like her. Such ;i nice, sensible name, v;iul we, and we hunted for n masculine to match it. We found lack the best possible balance, and set the two to verse: Jack and Jane went down the lane — Our much-advertised pen refuse- to complete the stanza at this date. Mayhap more anon as Robert W. Chambers would say. Whether she ' s trying to play a folk-dance on the gym piano or copying psychology notes for someone else — Jane ' s smile never diminishes. We know the end will bring her Smilin ' thru on top! MARY FRANCES CONNORS 3 Arcade Street, Whitinsville We teachers must stick together — that is what Frances says. Evidently she believes in the saying, United we stand, divided we fall. We are all willing to remain together, hut Frances is so loyal to her home town that she cannot bear to leave it. She is going to start her career in a little red school- house on a hill overlooking Whitinsville. We prophesy that if she does as well there as she did managing her class of boys at Edgerly the state will find in her its A teacher. HELENA AMANDA CROUCH 36 High Street, Gardner A daughter of the gods — divinely tall is Helena, who claims Miller Hall her residence. The alto section of the Glee Club relied on her mezzo forte to uphold that part in the big chorus. She haunts the postoffice morning, noon and night for that precious letter from Worcester. We have high hopes for Helena ' s future — and we ' re sure we won ' t lie disappointed. RUTH AGNES CUSHMAN 116 Lawrence Street, Fitchburg Ruthie has been part of the institution for three years, having taught typewriting to the Junior High School classes all last year. This year the Senior class was fortunate in having her on its roster, for a more efficient student would he hard to find. She spends her leisure time in the library with Marian poring over volumes of garden lore. We expect her thesis will some day find itself in print and in the hands of other agricul- turalists.
