BLANCHE GRACE HOLT Chester Depot, Vermont No, you ' re wrong. Blanche is not as quiel and peace-loving a person as she looks — but don ' t misjudge her because of this. For an all-around student, never losing her temper, but giving as good as she .mis, no bolter illustration can be given than the above-mentioned personage. With this brief send-off, let us review some of Blanche ' s past history, doings and misdoings. After coming to Normal she was chosen as monitor, a very good recommendation for a Junior. AH through the course she has been active in the socials and athletics, and she received honorable mention in the Wallace Essay Contest. During Senior, Dean has been more in evidence than the monitor book of other days. EVA LOUISE HOUGHTON 35 Granite Street, Whitinsville As brown as a berry is this Whitinsville maid who lives in the open every minute of her out-of-class time. Basket-ball and crew are her specialties in athletics, and Glee Club has this year become her favorite study. Every one remembers Eva as cheerleader during Junior, as she was in e vidence at every game throughout the year. With the support of scores of loyal friends she ' s sure to finish school in royal style. IDA ZOSIA JACOBS 95 Thoreau Street, Concord By the rude bridge is a very historical background for this member of the Commuters ' Club of F. N. S. Ida has very suc- cessfully overcome the many and varied difficulties which the faculty puts before every student, and still she had time, or made time, to enjoy herself to the limit. She well demonstrated her ability as a chaufTeuress a few weeks ago, when she passed the examination and won her license. It ' s a nice, big Dodge, and we are all willing to be engaged as passengers, any time you say, Ida ! ADA LYDIA JARVIS Wilder, Vermont Ada began life in the small town of Wilder, Vermont, and obtained some of her early education there. Not content with this, she came down to Massachusetts to F. N. S., where for two vears she has had an almost perfect record of attendance. In the classroom as well as outside, she is quiet and unassuming. During lectures she is very attentive and takes down copious notes, written sometimes in hieroglyphics which she alone can understand. In spite of her modest air, we are sure of her faithful friendship, and wish her the best of luck in future undertakings.

ETHEL MARION GRAY 149 Beech Street. Holyoke Ethel ' s spectacles are very deceiving, say we. They would lead you to believe thai she is very quiet and studious, and quite beyond such things as turning somersaults and whistling lustily such favorites as Out on the Deep. We remember Ethel as a veritable Babe Ruth on the baseball team. We wish our music editor success in her teaching profession. ' 1 1 FRANCES MAUDE GRIFFIT1 1 163 Elm Street, Gardner Another Gardner inhabitant who burns the midnight oil at Palmer J [all is Frances. She is the girl who can always be depended on to help us out in any difficulty, particularly in the household arts line, for she is an expert needlewoman as well as a good cook. When she i not engaged in sewing she is tak- ing care of young sister. All the best wishes i Twenty-Two are yours, Frances. i 3 cn I H Fl I ■t.

MAI Dl ELIZABETH HILL i ' .aker Stn dner Maudic, our little brunette from Gardner, has one favorite pastime dancing. However, it is nol the kind we have in gym. She says she can manage her feet perfectly, but when sin also has to maneuver her arms and wrists and tilt her bead in a prettj manner, she decides she never will enter the profession of dancers.

Honk! of Cousin Ed ' s car announced her arrival at Miller. We don ' 1 know why she claims the latter dormitory her residence, for she is always to be found across t he campus with Peg O ' Leary of Palmer fame. Very lately Helen yielded to the call of the flapper and bobbed her hair, her excuse being, It saves time. We know one member of the P. A. Department who Fitzs all right!
