THE SAXIFRAGE 1923 ELIZABETH M VRY CAMPBELL ' leasanl Street Orange, Mass. 1 ride Oil the mountain lops, 1 ride, 1 have found my life and am satisfied. Betty believes that life is just what you make it. Laugh the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone, thinks merry maid. Elizabeth experiences life as just one pleasant ation after another, and as each presents itself, she absorbs hh pleasure and turns to greet the next. Hiking ; Glee Club. FIDELIA HELEN CAMPBELL Littleton Road Harvard, Mass. ' Better to be first in a little Iberian village than be second in Rome. The sphinx and Fidelia must guard the same secret, for to most of us the two are synonymous; quiet, unassuming and the model of industry is this little miss, though at times a twinkle lurks in those brown eyes, so perhaps ! She is always a loyal supporter of anything for the betterment of F. N. S. and ' 23. FLORA BEATRICE CAMPBELL Littleton Road Harvard, Mass. Let your speech be better than silence, or be silent. Is that the way you feel about it Flora? This demure maiden believes that a babbling tongue is worse than useless and that silence is golden. In that spirit she has spent her two years with us. A comparison might be made between Flora and The Spectator, so famed in .literature. She absorbs the ideas and spirit of her surroundings without coloring it with any bom- bastic expression on her part. Flora is a silent, helpful friend and a girl who will always serve. 1 liking; Glee Club.

THE SAXIFRAGE 1923 GRACE ELIZABETH BROW X 71 Spring Street West Springfield, Mass. Dark hair, dark eyes, a tempting combination. If one believes in the reincarnation of souls, it is easy to v picture Grace as Cleopatra or some other languorous beauty of olden days. She is stunning either as a gypsy maiden or as an ultra-modern flapper. Grace was an active member of the Gym Club during her Junior year, and as a Trainor she was a ureal success. Psychology seems to attract her, and the learned dis- sertations in that class will long be remembered, if not under- stood. Grace is a third floor Palmer Hallite, which means that she is a jolly sport, always rearly for a good time, with quantities of pep. The shadow in this case is Sweetheart Peg. Dramatics; Glee Club; Treasurer G. A. A. ' 22; Senior Coun- cil. KATHERINE I.I- ' . ' INA BUCKLEY 11 Portland Street Fitchburg, Mass. On with the game! Behold! We have in our midst an all-round athlete who can- not l e surpassed. [Catherine is that wmder. Her chief desire is to be a basket ball star. If practice makes perfect and per- fection is all that is needed, she will surely attain her end. Even a broken finger couldn ' t keep her from practice for more than a few days. Not willing to keep all of her I ' .. 1 ' .. knowledge I her- self, she coached some Junior High School -iris until they, too, could play a line game. .Voted for her guarding. Girls ' Basket Ball. HAZEL VERONH A BURNS 201 ( irove Street Clinton. Mas A maiden fair with curly hair. If you are ever in doubt as to the doings of oysters, just ask Hazel, she knows all about them. Though she doesn ' t talk a great deal around Normal, we hear that she is quite the revi in iter home town. We think that she believes that silence is golden in I ' . N. S. However, we will forgive her, for she is a very sympathetic listener to those who must talk. A good lis iciht is worth ten who talk nonsense. Noted for her pretty hair and petiteness.

Now, dear reader, may we introduce to you the first President of the Student Government Association at the Fitchburg Normal School? Were we not wise in selecting Al to launch this craft, for has not her good judgment, patience, and gentle firmness helped us over the hard places? We feel confident that what she has so well started will continue to mould the c haracter of the students who will grace these halls in the future, and so reflect credit on F. N. S. and herself. President of Student Government Association; Secretary of Glee Club; Senior Committee. CHRISTINE MARY CARTER 136 Elm Street I l l ' ike, M;i . Her heart was in her work. Just after Christmas we almost losl one of our number, for Christine very nearly decided The (ireal White Way was more alluring than the pursuit of further knowledge at Normal. Soon after getting on the train, however, she thought heller of the slip she was about to take and went hack home to think again. We are very glad that after due consideration she decided that Fitchburg wasn ' t the worst place after all. Christine surely worked hard in training and if hours spent in a school room make a good teacher, we are sure she will he a great success. Hiking : (-lee Club.
