THE SAXIFRAGE 1923 ALICE GERALDINE CAREY 246 Central Street Springfield, Mass. If winter conies, can spring be far behind? 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?

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.

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.

Thai such a person can lie found is astonishing! There are few girls who can lie credited with the name of being always sen- sible. This dues not mean that Genevieve is not a lover of fun — quite the contrary. She likes fun of all kinds — most of all site enjoys out-door sports. Hiking is her hobby and she certainly can hike.

Bashfulness is an ornament to youth. ' Tis a fact. At least hashfulness becomes Doris very well. She may he and is quiet a good part of the time around school, hut that isn ' t saying she is of that nature all of the time. Reports from West Fitchburg read No Doris — no fun, so you see we can ' t always judge by appearances. Her favorite pastimes are drawing and singing — at least these are the conclusions we draw from what we hear. Noted for her pleasantness and handsome eyes. ELIZABETH CECELIA CONNOR 133 Tisdale Street Leominster, Mass. Indeed she was a merry lass, And all were glad to have her in our class. Leominster is famous for its happy-go-lucky girls, and Libby is no exception. She is a little whirlwind of joy and everyone likes to have her around. Libby ever upholds the name of her home city. She is fond of all sports — hinking and dancing are no exceptions. ' She dances like a fairy and hikes like a soldier — no one can tire her. Noted for her winning smile and sh- her Hiking Contest. isp ! 26
