f V • Ka 1 j HELEN CLARE KEEFE 15 Merrick Avenue, Springfield Helen, one of the coterie of pretty girls, found favor from the very day that the Honk! 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! Terry- ville, Connecticut, will be her teaching residence next year — and we wish her success in this position. KATHLEEN ROSE KELLEY 45 Washington Street, Gardner Kathleen ' s name suits her well, for she ' - a bonny, bright colleen with rosy complexion and curling chestnul hair that puts our marcelled locks to shame. Besides, -lie is pleasingly plump, which is indicative of her good nature. Kathleen has oft pleased us by her singing— her favorite sung being, Who Knows? Hll 1) WILHELMINA KURVINEN R. F. 1). No. 20, Ashburnham Hilda learned to shark courses and play a guitar at Cushing Academy, and has continued to do both with commendable regularity since coming to Normal.

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.

)( l.l THERES l.i ING [ iw nscnd Ri lad, est ( iroton Julia came to Filchburg two years ago upon Lhe eve of grad- uating from West Groton Nigh School, and after a visit to !• ' . N. S. decided that was the place for her to continue her education. Since then, no mailer what the weather, she lias continued to vide up daily, For, being unable to give up her rustic haunts, she became a commuter. We have watched her and been influenced by the care and precision with which she accom- plishes her orl . Particular planning ability is shown by the fact that she always manages to have her studying done in the afternoon, so she may have her evenings free. We wonder why? ANNA HARRIET LOWNER Sugar Loaf Street, Smith Deerfield Eat, sleep and be merry, that ' s Anna. Although a busy 14 i r 1 at Normal, she always found time to line up to this maxim. Her only enemy was the alarm clock, but when this instrument of torture had performed its daily function and Anna was finally out, it was with a smile, or a little fun in the form of a pillow light that she greeted her roommates. The smile always lasted throughout the day, while her contagious laugh was known to everyone. All the school knows the historical records of Deerfield since Anna ' s arrival in our midst. She has shown us what she can do in school, and now as we go out into the world we are certain of her success. THERESA MARY MALIONE 30 Merrimac Street, New 1 led ford Tre is another New Bedfordite, a duly matriculated student. No doubt you all know that mam-ma is Theresa ' s best friend and ever-present companion. If it were not for her sweet dis- position the alley would he plunged in deepest gloom on many occasions. We all have hopes that some day Tre will forsake the teaching profession and study music in Italy, coming back- to make her debut before the Filchburg Choral enthusiasts, who we trust will love and appreciate her as we all do. GRACE LOUISE McCARTY 163 Grove Street, Fall River From the delicate Arab arch of her feet to the grace that, bright and light as the crest of a peacock, sils on her shining head, and she knows it not. Tennyson must have had Grace in mind when he wrote his Maud, for the quotation seems to just lit her. Terpsichorean art is her favorite study, and we vouch for it that Grace is an honor pupil in il. It is no uncommon sighl to see her rushing pell-mell around Miller after four o ' clock every day in the week. She may look demure, but she has a spirit that is going to bring her to the coveted goal, u ' - ess.
