The days here have been full of ac- tivity, work, and pleasure. In future years, we shall visit, in our thoughts, our Alma Mater; and live again, in mem- ory, these joyous moments. That we may even more vividly recall the happpen- ings of our life as students at this Normal School, we publish this class product, our Xormalogue. May it bring happy memories to us all. ©ebicatton VERY graduate of the North Adams Normal School has a better and more intelligent un- derstanding of art and beauty at the time of her graduation than she had at her entrance. This finer view she owes to our instructor of art, Miss Pearson. From her we have gained a new knowledge of the things about us, and have been made to see them in a new light. We have been inspired to show the beauty of these things to children and to enable them to ex- press what they see. We have found in her a cheerful and helpful advisor in our class work and our extra-curricular activities. She has given willingly her time and the benefit of her experience. As we go out into the teaching field we shall keep her example always in mind and shall profit by it. For, she embodies all the necessary qualifica- tions of a successful teacher. So, it is with deep appreciation and sincere esteem, that we, the Class of 1929, dedicate this our Normal- ogue to Miss Mary A. Pearson. 1929 THE NORMA LOGUE K?

Principal and Teacher of Psychology We, the Class of 19 ' 2 ' J. can surely boast of having one of the best principals in the state — Mr. Smith. As a teacher, he has shown his great ability in making us absorb psy- chology like sponges. His unceasing supply of vivid ex- periences and illustrations has certainly given us mental images which still linger in our memory. As a principal, he has never failed to give us the best counsel for our future plans. His understanding and obliging nature have made him a true and lasting friend of 1929. 10 1929 THE NORMALOGUE MR. ALBERT G. ELDRIDGE North Adams, Mass. Teacher of Geography, History, Civics, and Economics What delightful trips we have made with our Mr. El- dridgc! Shall vc Seniors ever forget that exciting journey to Albany and those most enjoyable hikes up Greylock? We thank Mr. Eldridge for those trips and the many help- ful suggestions he gave to us. We had many friendly debates during our class on Eco- nomics where Mr. Eldridge always gave each one the right to express her own opinion. Because of his teachings we feel well equipped to enter our chosen profession. MR. CARPENTER North Adams, Mass. Teacher of Child Study, Penmanship, and Management Mr. Carpenter is one of the teachers whom few of us have had the pleasure of truly understanding. We, as Juniors, entered his awe-inspiring room in thirst of knowl- edge. We gained the knowledge and we also gained a very beneficial friend. We all remember Mr. Carpenter ' s willingness to help us out of our difficulties no matter where the trouble lay. Although Mr. Carpenter has left the school, we will always remember his keen wit and humor. The Class of 1929 extends to him its due thanks for his unfailing helpfulness. MR. ROGER HOLMES North Adams, Mass. Teacher of Child Study, Penmanship, and Management Ever ready to help! That ' s Mr. Holmes, Mr. Carpen- ter ' s successor. He is always a good sport, not only during our classes but also at our social functions. During our training period, we seldom missed his daily visit in which he gave his candid opinion of us, our fellow sufferer and victims. Mr. Holmes is a crackerjack at making snap judgments, and his advice to us has always been worth trying. We wish you much success in the Training School and hope that our control and discipline will be as effective, as yours. 11 THE NORMA LOGUE 1929 MR. VENABLE North Adams, Mass. Teacher of Science and Zoology To Mr. Venahlc, we must hand a great deal of credit for guiding us safely through the deep channels of science. Indeed for the first few days we were in quite a fog but soon light began to dawn. It has taken untiring patience to teach us such a subject but somehow Mr. Venable ' s ready wit and obliging manner have helped us to study our lessons with pleasure. Mr. Venable is a never-to-be-for- gotten-friend of 1929. MISS BARIGHT Farmington, N. H. Teacher of Story Telling, Literature, Expression and Ethics As a teacher Miss Baright is a perfect success. Not only did we enjoy her classes but her many animated and entrancing stories thrilled us with delight. We could al- ways depend on her for help in our troublesome moments. Her friendly spirit and good humor have earned her many friends. For our success in the Senior Play we are greatly indebted to her untiring and patient efforts. Her sincere interest in the class of 1939 has made her an inspiration long to be cherished in our hearts. MISS SHOLES North Adams, Mass. Teacher of Handwork, Sanitation, Cooking and Sewing Shall we ever forget Miss Sholes. the patient, genial friend of every student at N. A. N. S.? Her ready and true friendliness has won her a place in everyone ' s heart. What one of us Seniors will not remember our sewing classes with Miss Sholes as our leader? Yes, the spirit of these classes will make them linger long in our memory. Your are our stanch friend. Miss Sholes, and the best wishes of the Class of ' 29 will always linger with you. 12 1929 THE NORMALOGUE MISS PERRY North Adams, Mass. Teacher of Music and Arithmetic What we would have missed at N. A. N. S. if Miss Perry had not Keen here! We all love your music. Miss Perry, and you have helped us appreciate all good music. Willi your extraordinary gift as a teacher, you have inspired us and you have helped make our years at X. A. X. S. more pleasant. MISS ALICE OWENS North Adams, Mass. Teacher of Primary Reading, Language, Grammar, and Oral Composition Where did we look for a smiling face, forget our dignity and play the role of a child once more? Xo other place than in Miss Owens ' room! Did not Miss Owens, herself, show us how a duck walks? To Miss Owens, the Seniors extend their best wishes, with the sincere hope that future Seniors will appreciate her services as much as we do. MR, THOMAS CUMMINGS North Adams, Mass. Teacher of Manual Training When we are in our rural school, with a group of hoys. it is our one hope that Mr. Cummings may make us a visit and discover how our discipline problem has been solved. We Seniors have tried hard to acquire skill in using the coping saw and other tools and are sure that Mr. Cum- mings ' well directed efforts have not been in vain. 13 THE NORMALOGUE 1929 .MISS ELIZABETH JENKINS Xortli Adams, Mass. Supervisor of Extension Department, and Rural Demonstration Schools-, Teacher of Rural Education What thrilling classes we had with Miss Jenkins! How vividly she brought a rural schoolroom before us! We even know how to start a wood fire! After hearing her interesting experiences we are looking forward to a rural school. It is our wish that she may enjoy all the happiness possi- ble, and we shall anticipate with great pleasure the visit she will make us during the next year. MISS PORTER Needham, Mass. Teaeher of Hygiene Physical Education Although Miss Porter left us as Juniors, what one of us will ever forget her wonderful personality and winning smile? She has that indefinable something which made us feel we had accomplished something when she said so. That she had many friends was proved by the fact that her office was always filled with girls seeking aid and advice. We had great sorrow when she left us, but also a great gladness for having known her. The class of 1929 wishes her the best of luck in the new work she has undertaken. MISS WESTON Medford, Mass. Teacher of Hygiene and Physical Education Miss Weston entered the doors of X. A. X. S. in Septem- ber, 1928 and immediately she bOcame a true friend to both the senior and junior classes. We elected her as our class advisor and her wijlingness has helped the senior class over the stormy ocean and into a safe harbor. Who will forget the basketball games, with Miss Weston ' s cheery voice crying — Junior out — Center! The best wishes of both classes at X. A. X. S. are left with you, Miss Weston. 14 1929 THE NORMALOGUE MISS BISHOP Willimantic, Conn. Teacher of Kindergarten Theory The girls in the primary section have had an unusual opportunity to become acquainted with one of our most conscientious and efficient training teachers. We are sure that the girls in the upper sections have missed a great deal of advice and friendship from a very sympathetic and understanding personality. MISS DONELSON Colrain, Mass. Librarian As we entered the library at N. A. X. S. we were always sure to be greeted with a pleasant smile from Miss Donel- son. Although we had her as a teacher for only a very short while, we will never forget how she was never too busy to help us find material on any subject. It is with regret we leave Miss Donelson and we are certain that when ever we think of the library it will be with the most pleasant memories. MISS FERGUSON North Adams, Mass. Secretary A quick, light step and we know Miss Ferguson is ap- proaching. Surely no student at X. A. X. S. can think of Miss Ferguson without thinking of the kindness and will- ingness that are shown in her every act. This could be proven by a glimpse of her office, which is always filled with students desiring aid. Good -luck, Miss Ferguson-Xever-to-be-forgotten friend of this Senior Class. 1.5 THE NORMALOGUE 1929 MISS ALLYN Holyoke, Mass. Secretary of Extension Department Miss Allyn has been a true friend to all of us. We al- ways found her busy and yet. always willing to help us at all times. We are very glad that we found you at X. A. X. S. Miss Allyn. You helped a great deal in making us happy here. MRS. VAN ETTEX North Adams, Mass. Matron of Taconic Hall We ' ve all heard that the younger generation needs a guiding hand at X. A. X. S. This guiding hand was sup- plied by Mrs. Van Etten. As juniors, we received her warm and cheerful welcome to Taconic Hall. Wouldn ' t we have died from homesickness if she hadn ' t helped us in so many different ways? Her kindness and ready sympathy have certainly made her a mother to every senior at X. A. X. S. Mrs. Van Etten ' s charming ways cause her to fill a dear place in our hearts and we wish her every joy. EULALIA FRAGA New Bedford, Mass. Assistant Matron of Taconic Hall A flashing smile, an infectious laugh, a keen wit — could they be combined in anyone but Lolly? ' - How glad we were last September when we found Lolly back at X. A. X. S. where she proved to be a true pal to us all. Always gay and jolly, her pleasing personality has gained many friends for her at X. A. X. S. 16 1929 ::::::: THE N O R M A L O G U E ®f)e Class of 1929 Clan Colore Red and White School Colore Golden Yellow Class jfllotto Simplicity, Sincerity, and Service Class jflotoer American Beauty Rose 17 THE NORMALOGUE 1929 RUTH HARRIET BARNES Barney Rufus North Adams, Mass. Wittier than the day is long. Have you heard the latest joke? Ask Harney. She gave us many good pointers on parks and parking in Economics class too. How about it, Barney? Not only that, she combines humor with intelligence and writes poetry. Keep up the good work, Rufus! Axis Staff (2), Y. A. A.

That alto voice is bound to bring only success. Axis Staff (2). W. A. A. (1) (2), Glee Club (1) (2), Dramatic Club (1) (2), Finance, Chairman (2), Senior Play, Class Will. HAZEL JUNE BELLIVEAU Hazel June Worcester, Mass. Her step is music, her voice is song Another one of our song birds. This one however, had another accomplishment in her melodic giggle. Not once, but many times, has Miss Owens stopped a language class so Hazel June could indulge her mirth. She ' s one of us who ' ll never miss a joke. Carry on, Hazel! Student Council, House Council President, (2), W. A. A. (1) (2), Glee Club (1) (2), Current Events Club. DORIS ELIZABETH BURNETT Dot Adams, Mass. In everything we plan to do, She ' s n good sport through and through. Anybody who has ridden on the trolley car with Dot knows that the above quotation fits like a glove. Even when umbrellas descend on knuckles with a none too gentle smack. Eh, Dot? She ' s a fine young army captain, too. Attention to Captain Little! ! Axis Staff (2), W. A. A.

Actions speak louder than words. Have you all your dances yet? When you hear this you ' re sure to find Peg is near. Then you see a smiling, winsome girl with dark hair and flashing eyes. She ' s a good student too. — A most necessary quality for a successful teacher as we ' ve so often been told. Dramatic Club (1), Secretary (2). DOROTHY ISABEL CHALMERS Dot Adams, Mass. One who pursues her own eourse and bathers na one. Another Adamsite! Some of you may call Dot quiet and retiring, but we who know her can tell you that she ' s one of life ' s surprises. Did you ever watch her on a dance floor? There ' s only one dark, mysterious side of her that we can ' t penetrate: — where the world does she get all her pictures? W. A. A. (1) (2), Glee Club (1) (2). DOROTHY CHAMBERLIN Dot Dee Springfield, Mass. Her talk is like a sunny stream, Always happy. Always laughing ' . Sunny hair and a sunny smile seem to belong together, has shown us the best of each during our career at N. A. N good humor is contagious, as we a be dreary! House Council, W. A. A., Glee Publicity Committee. Dot S. If believe, no pupil of Dot ' s will ever Club, Girl Scouts President, SARA ELIZABETH CLARKE Sally Sunderland, Mass. The only way to make a friend is to be one. Sally lives up to this motto and finds that it works. She is ever ready and willing, especially as our little waitress. Our school days have often been enlivened by her cheery wit and good nature. We hope she gets a rural school. Best wishes! Axis Stafr, W. A. A., Dramatic Club (1) (2), Point Committee, Chairman (2). 1!) THE NORMA LOGUE 1929 LILLIAN ALICE CLEMINSON Lil Adams, Mass. Quietest Quality, not quantity. Our Lillian is not very big, in fact, she is quite small. Rut that doesn ' t mean anything, does it, Lil? You ought to see her eat down in the lunch room! We don ' t believe she ' d want us to say this, but it ' s confidential anyway — she ' s always mistaking her high school sister ' s lunch for hers. Better take a course in memory training, Lil! V. A. A.. Glee Club. MARGARET CLIFFE Peg Adams, Mass. Most daring Happy am I, from care I ' m free. Why can ' t they all be content like me? This is the joke was a favorite and welcomed phrase (or shall we say sentence?) with Peg. No wonder Mr. Smith had to come in to remind us that some people wanted to study. We ' ll wager they wouldn ' t if Peg had been around. Xuff said! Axis Staff, Glee Club (1), Secretary (2), Treasurer, Current Events Club (2), Class Basketball (1). MARGARET ANN PATRICIA COFFEY Peg Westfield, Mass. ,4 woman ' s crowning glory in her hair. At any of the man dances might be heard, Who is the girl with the blonde hair? — Our Peg, of course. And not only on the dance floor does she shine. A basketball team is never complete without her as jumping center. Her reach is as long as her full name. No offense, Peg.

Most carefree Oh, how I do lore a carefree life ' . Betty always said the wrong thing at the right time. A great many days we might have been blue had it not been for a burst of Betty ' s laughter ringing through the balls. We wish her success — w-e wish her many t hings, but never that she lose the gaiety and good sportsmanship she now possesses. W. A. A.

Edna is one of those rare mortals who is satisfied in developing her intellect and dispenses with the frivolities of life. Never is Ed so happy as when she is with a book. Conscientious, exact in all her dealings, and a sincere friend to all, — that ' s Ed. Normalogue Staff, W. A. A.

CATHERINE FRANCES DAILEY Kay North Adams, Mass. Most Loyal She is, but ivords fail to tell thee what. Think what a girl should be — she is that. Kay is the little miss with the smile that won ' t come off. And the dimples! If Kay could only share the secret of How to get and keep dimples! We all like to have Kay around. Why? Well, just because she ' s Kay. She ' s right there too when it comes to showing class spirit. Decorating or yelling at basketball games — you ' re sure to find our Kay. We ' ll never forget you, Catherine. Class Secretary (1), Editor-in-Chief, Normalogue, W. A. A. (1) (2), Publicity Committee (2), Dramatic Club (1), President (2). CECILE DE BLOIS Cis Adams, Mass. The joy of youth and health her eyes displayed, And ease of heart her every look conveyed. Cecil is the personification of good humor. In looking for the life of the party, of the classroom, or of the lunch room, our attention will be caught by Cecile. We are held by that friendly smile and sunny cheerfulness which radiates from her charming personality. So when in gloom, go to Cecile for a prescription of sunshine, sym- pathy and help. Axis Staff, Normalogue Staff, W. A. A. (1) (2), Travel Club, Vice-President, Basketball (1) (2), Publicity Committee (2). HELEN KATHERINE DE ROCHE Dollface Athol, Mass. Light of heart and bright of face, The daughter of a merry race. Athletic, charming, brilliant, and carefree are the adjectives best suited to our Helen from Athol. She is always ready for fun or work and enters into either with zest and energy. Dollface is sure to succeed whether at teaching or at parties at Norwich. Class Treasurer (1) (2), W. A. A.

Most Helpful to School A friend in need, is a friend indeed. From the moment she answered to the first roll call, we have ap- preciated Kay ' s friendly spirit. Her radiant smile, faithfulness, and willingness have cleared up many a grey sky. We feel sure her de- pendable character, sense of fairness, and happy personality will make for her success through the coming vears. President Student Council (2), W. A. A.

Thelma may well be placed side by side with Katherine . Never, in our two years at Normal, has Thelma refused a helping hand. Never, either, has she neglected the least opportunity to join in fun. Most of the time she makes the opportunity. Good luck! House Council (1), Axis Staff (2), W. A.

Most Dignified, Most Ladylike A maiden modest and self- possessed, youthful, beautiful, and stylishly dressed.

This is the day on which our last meeting as a class is held, the one occasion when we meet with the sole purpose of entertaining our parents and friends, and wishing them to share with us the joy with which we review the work and play of our Normal School career. Service has been defined as being the occupation of a servant; duty performed in any office; assistance, or kindness to another. Let us think for the moment of the occupation of a servant. What does this mean to us as future teachers, moulding the characters of the plastic future generation? We are agreed that teaching is an occupation and that we are servants to somebody or some cause. But doesn ' t it mean more to us than this? To be sure we are servants, but are we not hoping to serve the public through our best efforts that their children may profit? Now let us meditate on the second part of our chosen word — kindness or assistance to another. Surely this is the primary essential of a good teacher! Where would we be today if it had not been for the sympathetic understanding of our teachers of yesterday? What would have become of those poor unfortuntes whose environment outside of school was of the worst, had it not been for their willing, self-sacrificing teachers? Has not ser- vice, loyal, heartfelt, idealistic service played its part? If we could but know how many have found their real happiness in denying their most cherished desires that others might benefit, I wonder if we then would regard service as a mere word in the English vocabu- lary? The last part of our definition — duty performed in any office is a summary of the first two. By our presence at normal school we have proven that our accepted offices are those of the teaching profession. We well realize how great a part kindness, understand- ing, and sympathy play. Our titles in themselves, teachers, embrace these traits, but foremost in our minds is service — service to all with whom we come in contact, service to every worthwhile enterprise, service to the many organizations so constructive to the characters of our men and women to be. Classmates: For the changes that have been wrought in our minds and bodies we are indebted to two groups of people, first of all, our parents. They alone know what sacrifices they have made, so that we might become worthy service-giving citizens and be the means by which our followers may become worthy of the name Americans. Words are hardly adequate to express our deep appreciation and gratitude. To Mr. Smith and the efficient staff, with whom we have been working we are grate- ful beyond expression for their untiring efforts in assisting us to appreciate what service is, and how to best administer service throughout our future realms. They have not only instructed us in service, but have trained us in leadership, character, and all the other virtues so necessary to the teacher of today. As the class of 1929 makes its exit, we hope it will live as a page of happiness indelibly written in the book of memory, giving joy and pleasure to those who so generously gave it to us. May you, classmates, never forget any part of the two years spent within the time honored walls of our Normal. May they never become dim and as something of the past. May you ever think of the time spent here as the happiest period of your life, elevated by the standards you set for yourselves, and through the acquirement of a wealth of exper- ience gained in the uplifting environment of your fellow associates. Ruth M. Gennett 40 1929 ::::::: THE N O R M A L O G U E Sbbreste to tfje umorg In Normal School are teachers made, Through joys and troubles day by day, Here knowledge comes and wisdom too, And life expands and friends grow true. We are the Seniors! Short years ago We came, we worked, and progress so, Wise counsel we can leave with you In Normal School. To you Juniors, Seniors to be To you, with willing hands, we throw The torch. Be yours to hold it high For here you ' ll find ideals true, But if you work, and seeds of aims you sow, You shall be proud of knowledge new, In Normal School. V7 ES, Juniors it means both work and struggle to complete your Normal School career. - - It ' s work the first year and then, when you ' ve learned the ins and outs, it ' s a struggle to decide just how much work is really necessary. We ' re sure if you look at the year ' s toil with this attitude that it will relieve Mrs. Van of the tedious job of warning you, as she had occasion to do once this year, against arising early in the morning to complete your home work. This is, we think, a many sided, advantageous bit of advice — It will give Mrs. Van one less speech to make; it will save the electric light bill; it will protect your health; and may, if you are skillful enough, induce the supervisors to co-operate with you by shortening all assignments — thus making N. A. N. S. a place where the play instinct is given more consideration than the work instinct. Familiarity breeds contempt, so they say — thus being a class of so much individual- ity as to be familiar with defeat on the basketball court, both as Juniors and Seniors, we agree that the word defeat, through its familiarity, is to us, in its full significance a term of contempt. However, we congratulate the present Junior Basketball Team and wish you luck next year. We Seniors have been thinking about taking a course this summer which has been highly recommended. The main objective is, How to grow five inches in height in six weeks. If we succeed we ' ll come back to play one more game when the teams are more uniform. We advise you Juniors to take a special course in History and Geography this summer, stressing on the points you wish to see taught in the grades. This will help you next year in your class work with Mr. Eldridge for he just knows that you girls can construct better and clearer courses of study for your schools, than the state can offer. We have a suggestion for the six loyal Junior girls who always attend the man dances. It ' s a little hint on, How to make money in your spare time. Why don ' t you have a dancing class for the other fifty-seven members of your group? This will be quite bene- ficial to all for it will mean that you could have four dances instead of three, and the assemblage would be so large that it would be necessary to hold the dances in Normal Hall instead of the Social Room. The dorm girls will appreciate and enjoy the langerous night air for a few brief and choice moments. But beginning dancers — beware — even though obliging classmates offer to secure charming young men to accompany you — 41 THE NORMALOGUE ::::::: 1929 you will learn as we have learned, through bitter experience, that, although your attendant may prove to be young, and to possess a certain doubtful charm, still his terpsichorean efforts may fail to find favor. We don ' t know whether or not importune dorm girls to initiate the incoming Jun- iors as we did. Some of you failed to appreciate the exquisite joy Seniors derive from making French beds, distributing parts of your apparel around the room, and in general raising havoc in your domociles. Still we haven ' t a doubt that you will gain as much sat- isfaction as we have, if you practise pranks of the same nature on your unsuspecting Junior sisters. To insure your friendships in your literature class, we would suggest that you start cutting out pictures for your anthology and author ' s booklet this summer. By following this suggestion you will avoid having at least six of your friends gaze with envy and avarice on the picture you have just found, which is, oddly enough — just the material they need. We know that some of you Juniors are anxious to take up kindergarten work — and if it could be arranged to have an assignment in Miss Bishop ' s room, we know you would be capable of furnishing the youngsters with plenty of pupil activity such as — crawling under tables, etc. We are sure that this would be endorsed by Mr. Venable as we hear he has had occasion to supervise your talent along this line. With these bits of priceless advice in your possession, after your graduation, you should be able to launch your ship of learning upon the sea of life. When your boat leaves the harbor of N. A. N. S. bound for lands beyond, we hope you will find that all your work and struggle will prove assets to a good sailing, — and also that all your class- mates, all your teachers, and your principal, have provided you with that which will make your sea of life a smooth and pleasant one on which to sail. Gladys E. Kane Mp Cfjant O ivy, whom the poets have sung In lands across the sea, O slender plant of waxy green, We place a trust in thee. Be thine to guard this school we love, To whisper to its walls, That messages of loyalty May echo through its halls. O plant that stretches up to God Thy leaves to catch the sun, Pray teach us to be faithful To the work we ' ve just begun. O clinging vine, throughout the years, May we thy lesson heed, And thus climb ever upward ' Til success shall crown our deed. Ruth Barnes Eleanor Grant 42 1929 ::::::: THE NORMALOGUE Clastf 2|ts;torp===l928 TX September 1927, t he good Ship X. A. X. S. was ready to set sail on a two year cruise, ■ - after which the passengers will have gained such experiences that they will be able to guide small crafts of their own. Girls from many different parts of Massachusetts arrived at North Adams Normal School to take this trip. On September thirteenth, all of ns unsophisticated Juniors gathered on the deck of the ship where we were heartily welcomed by our captain, Mr. Smith, who assured us that we were to have a pleasant and profitable journey. The first important event was the Senior-Junior Reception, which helped us in getting acquainted with our fellow passengers. After the voyage had continued smoothly for a short time, we decided to have a crew to help Captain Smith. So as class officers we elected :Ruth Gennett, President; Marien Jordan, Vice-President; Helen De Roche, Treasurer: and Catherine Dailey, Secretary. At this stage of our trip we ran into bad weather and were obliged to combat a fierce storm. None of us shall forget the roaring of the elements, the cries for help as the floods swept over us. We thought we surely should be lost. When the storm subsided, we could see the wreckage strewn about us on all sides. In an unbelieavably short time, order was restored and we had our first Man Dance. Such an event! finding a man! writing invitations! and getting everything in readiness for the gala night. Only those who have experienced it can appreciate what it all meant to us. Then, after many postponements, we made a landing, on October twelfth, for a climb up Greylock Mountain. After that, followed our Hallowe ' en and Christmas parties. On a biting cold morning just before Christmas, the girls set out caroling to let others know that X. A. N. S. was wide awake. When spring arrived, we made another landing and had our field day in which every one took part. Half of our cruise was now over and we bade good bye to part of the passengers who were to start out independently guiding small ships. Finally Captain Smith decided that we should weigh anchor for two months at the Island of Vacation. Madeline Toirn.send 43 THE NORMALOGUE : : : : : : : 1929 Clas ftts;torp==4929 All aboard! shouted our captain, Mr. Smith. Everyone was leaving the Isle of Vacation for the return voyage and last year of cruising on the good ship N. A. N. S. This year it was our pleasure, as Seniors, to watch our younger sisters find their way about the decks, figure up the days before they could go home again, worry about booklets, notebooks, and all those incidental trials known onl y to Juniors. Captain Smith soon saw to it that there was plenty of work and the proper amount of play for all of us. As early as September 28th we received a telegram from Drury Island cordially inviting our crew to an annual teachers ' convention. We seniors felt that now, being so near our desired goal, our presence at the convention was decidedly important. Soon followed our Hallowe ' en party where ghosts themselves appeared and the spirits played more than one prank with innocent victims, especially in the tunnel. This frolic was held in the ship ' s gymnasium, which was decorated with cornstalks and Hallowe ' en products of the handwork classes of Miss Pearson. Everyone, including the dignified Seniors, actually knew what it was to leave a party with appetites more than amply satis- fied. Following our Christmas recess, life on board the N. A. N. S. began in real earnest The Seniors assumed their teaching duties with the proper amount of dignity and a sense of responsibility. The Juniors worked faithfully preparing to follow in our footsteps and were attentive listeners to the narratives we were able to tell as a result of our ex- periences in the training department of our ship. During the winter season there were two occasions when most girls of our crews began to wish that Captain Smith had at his disposal a reserve force of young men, suited to satis- fy the individual tastes of our maidenly whims. Such excitement on board at the time of these occasions; programs, new and sudden acquaintances, and hopes rising and falling at critical movements. The Juniors were properly initiated into the thrills of these occa- sions and even the Seniors found the night of the arrival of these dances decidedly interest- ing. After our Spring Recess came the great events when all discovered the talented mem- bers of our crew. These events were The Senior Play, The Accomodator and the Glee Club Operetta, The Bells of Beaujolais. Now graduation week is here with our class day exercises, prom, and commencement exercises. The good ship N. A. N. S. is about to weigh anchor. Each little captain school teacher must now go ashore and find her own little craft to guide for the coming year. As we bring to a close this account of our two year cruise, in the name of the class of 1929, Ruth Gennett, our faithful President, Vice-President, Marien Jordan, Treasurer, Helen De Roche, and Secretary, Margaret McCleod, I bid you all goodbye. Always will we carry with us the pleasantest of memories of the days spent on board the N. A. N. S. with Captain Smith and his excellent staff.

We, as prophets of the class of 1929, will endeavor to give you an insight into the life of these graduating here, today. The scene takes place in a train — the time 1935. Mil — I wonder when this train gets to Greenfield. It ' s so boring travelling alone. (Picks up paper). Someone has been extravagant. Reads. Train stops. Enter second passenger. Marie — Pardon me. Has anyone this seat? Mil — Why Marie! I haven ' t seen you since we graduated five years ago. You haven ' t changed a bit. How are all the girls? Hurry and tell me all the news. Marie — I ' ll tell you all I know. See I have the N. A. N. S. Gazette put out by the students. It gives all the information we want of the graduates. Mil — Let ' s see. (This is before opening the paper). Marie — I suppose you heard that Ruth Gennett is chef at the Ritz-Carlton, and now she is at the zenith of her glory. She still continues to diet as she did in N. A. N. S. with the same results. Mil — That ' s just like Ruth. Marie — I can never think of Ruth, that I am not reminded of Mae. I suppose you know what she is doing? No? She ' s still doing her good turn by selling Webster ' s Dic- tionaries for which she is a strong supporter. Mil (reading paper) — Look, Marie. The second annual concert of the Boston Symphony will be given in Boston conducted by the world famous Miss Emery. Marie — My! won ' t Miss Perry be proud! Mil — N. A. N. S. certainly has made a name for herself. Look (reads) The world ' s aviation record broken by Marien Jordan who has crossed the continent from Wake- field to California every day in one month. Some authorities have it that she is in the orange business there, but others are inclined to think there is some other attrac- tion. Marie — Oh! I must tell you, Mil, I went to the Metropolitan Opera House where I heard Hazel June Belliveau sing Carmen and I nearly wept. She gave as an encore Ah Sweet Mystery of Life, and the house went wild. Mil — Oh! Listen, It has been with considerable difficulty that the judges reached this decision in awarding the Pultzer prize for the best novel of the year. The honor has been given to Miss Ruth Barnes for her book, The Upward Climb, dealing with the struggles of modern youth? Marie — Isn ' t that just like Barney? I saw Sue Petcen last week and I asked her about Stella Korchinski, and what she was doing. Sue said Darning socks, and dusting law books. Mil — What did she mean — dusting law books? Marie — Why, of course, you remember her specials from Albany? Mil — Of course! Mil — By the way, what is Sue doing? Marie — I thought you had heard. After leaving school, she posed for a Winx Ad but it wasn ' t long before she moved to Amherst to live. 45 THE NORMALOGUE ::::::: 1929 Mil — I was so thrilled the other day when I read in onr . A. N. S. Gazette of our big elopement. Marie — Why, I never heard! Mil — You didn ' t? Madeline Townsend married her Spanish count. Marie — Yes? Mil — And they are living in Venice now.

Madame Kramer in person will demonstrate and give a short talk on How I Kept My Bob. Mil— Yes— Capital BOB Mil — Here ' s another one equally good.

You see they haven ' t heard the latest. Marie — (Looks up) Have you seen the personals? Mil — No! What does it say? Marie — Among those sailing abroad the New York Transatlantic Liners, was Miss Frances Wright, who leaves for a two year sojourn in Europe where she will make an extensive study of the Principles of Harmony and Orderly Repetition in Classic Art.

Mil — (Reads) Say! things must be pretty warm in Europe now. Marie — Yes? Mil — You see they are debating over who the next president of France will be. Margaret McLeod, and Helen O ' Gara are as ever disputing over the various abilities of the two candidates. Marie — They would! Marie — Mil, have you stopped at that ducky little inn at Turners Falls? Mil— No. Which one? Oh, Schule? Marie — Yes, and you never can guess who keeps it. Of course, Thelma is the proprietress, and Genie is her co-partner. Mil — (Reads) Biggest show of the ages. Among the biggest attractions is Madame Grange, famous tight rope walker and bare back rider. Marie — That doesn ' t surprise me. Remember how she jumped the buck in gym? Marie — Have you stopped at Hamp lately? Mil — No, what ' s the attraction? Marie — None other than our own Kate Finn who has been elected Mayor. 46 1929 ::::::: THE NORMALOGUE Mil— Really! Marie — Yes — She presented me with the key of the city the last time I was down to see her. Mil — I suppose you dropped in at Harriet ' s in New York. Marie — No, what does she do? Mil — She has made a fortune in hair-dressing, and especially in setting permanent waves. Marie — Speaking of Harriet, I suppose you know Mil is famous since her discovery of the wonderful Watson Cream guaranteed to control blushing. Marie — What ' s at the theater this week? Mil — Let ' s see. (Reads) The management of the new Hickville Theater announces the opening of the new drama, The Rising Moment.

It was interesting to note that the robbery took place in The Duck Inn at Lee. The hostess was none other than the bosom com- panion of Chief Oschmann — Miss Gertrude Ryan. Marie — Isn ' t that exciting! Mil — (Reads on) An ambulance was rushed to the scene of the robbery, expecting that someone might be injured in the riot. The nurses in charge were the Misses Neidel and Pritchard. Marie — Isn ' t that wonderful! Mil — Say Marie, did you hear about Kay Scott? Marie — Why she ' s still a librarian in Adams, isn ' t she? Mil — No, she didn ' t keep at the library work very long after she graduated from Normal but married a Prince instead. Marie — This certainly is a queer world. Peg Cliffe and Glad Sime starring on First Avenue in Savoy! Who would think it of those two? Mil — I always knew they would make a huge success after all the experience they had during noon hours at Normal. 47 THE NORMALOGUE ::::::: 1929 Marie — Lil Cleminson was another of those Adamsites. What is she doing now? Mil — Oh! She ' s just published another volume of book on How to grow tall with free instructions. Marie — I say Mil, whatever became of Helen DeRoche? She was a great friend of yours. Mil — I always knew Mr. Holmes was right when he said Helen wouldn ' t teach very long. She married a professor at Norwich University instead. Marie — I knew she was very interested in Norwich, her Senior year at school. Mil — What a surprise I received the other day. I went into a theater in New York and saw Al Scholz, and Adie Urbanski in their new comedy skit entitled Button Up Your Overcoat. Marie — It surely is always the quiet and reserved people that surprise us. Marie — (Read) Annette Witanek went to Mexico after she graduated, and married an emperor during one of the revolutions.

Marie — Say, Mil, did you hear the concert over the radio last night? Mil — No, How was it? Marie — Great! First we hear d Esther Mealand sing Goodbye Forever.

Mil — I read in the last issue of the Gazette that Theresa was demonstrating the famous Gamari curlers. They are guaranteed to give beautiful flat waves, you know. Marie — It has been fun to talk over the girls, hasn ' t it? Mil — It certainly has. Why here we are at Greenfield so soon. Mildred Ferguson Marie Sauza 49 THE NORMALOGUE ::::::: 1929 (Class Will A X TE, the departing Seniors of the class of 1929, being of unsound mind and racked in health and spirit and weighted down with the responsibilities which so soon will be upon us as we enter the profession for which we have been laboriously training during the long, long years spent within the walls, do hereby testify this document to be our last will and testament. To the beloved school where so many happy days have been spent, we bequeath countless fly papers to use on our very modern staircases to prevent the over anxious stu- dents from precipitating unexpectedly on said stairways. To the dormitory we bequeath a set of automatic mops which will operate themselves between the hours of three and five on Fridays. We also bequeath a newly discovered powder for the extermination of all pests, human and otherwise. To our esteemed matron, Mrs. Van Etten, we present ten volumes containing the necessary information concerning promising swains of North Adams and nearby towns and cities, including Great Barrington for use at the man dances and. week-ends. To our Honored Principal, Mr. Smith we present a mechanical man that will save him the trouble of taking attendance every morning in Assembly. To the training schools we bequeath a thumb tack remover so that the laboring stu- dents need not bemoan the loss of fingernails. To Miss Pearson we dedicate a set of new dictionaries published by Rand McNally Co., containing the interpretation of such terms as subtle, convex, reverse curves, and dis- criminating judgment. To Miss Baright we leave a patent voice tester so that incoming classes may judge the quality of their own voices and act thereon without further remarks on that score from aforementioned member of the faculty. To Mr. Eldridge we leave a pass which will give him permission to go the speed limit without question or interference on the part of the limbs of the law. To Miss Perry we leave a set of rubber stamps to save her the labor of printing notices. To Miss Sholes we leave an ointment for use on the fingers of Seniors not acquainted with the art of sewing. Mr. Holmes is hereby given a pair of glasses that we guarantee won ' t leave the bridge of his nose or be lost, strayed, or stolen. To our science teacher, Mr. Venable, we present, free of charge, a carton of matches so that the town girls will not pester him every noon time for a match with which they can light the unique burners in the lunch room. The class presents Miss Owens with a scooter to be used between her home and the school. We see Miss Jenkins standing before her new Baby Lincoln which the class of ' 29 herewith present to her. We wish to warn her not to go up those country hills on high in search of rural schools. Miss Weston is hereby presented with a new kind of face cream to cover that blushing beauty of hers. She is inclined to make the feminine pulchritude of this class a trifle envious. To Mr. Cummings we present 100 Hoover dresses to cover the Paris creations worn by the students to Manual Training classes. Miss Allyn ' s patience is to be rewarded. The Class of 1929 gives her a new office which will be far away from the maddening crowd of students always rushing in and out of the supply room. 50 1929 ::::::: THE NORMALOGUE Miss Ferguson also deserves a reward. To her we bequeath an extra set of hands in order that she may accomplish all the work imposed upon her. To next year ' s Seniors we bequeath the marvel of the Age, a modern prescription called Getting an ' A ' in Teaching Without Burning the Mid-Night Oil or Using Big Ben to Advant age. ' However, we ' re sorry to say we haven ' t yet discovered all the chemi- cal elements necessary. Last but not least we hope to present the new Senior with an assistant matron as popular, patient, and kind as Lollie Praga has been to all the inmates of the dormitory. To Hazel Belliveau we present with our compliments, a hook by that eminent nature writer, Thorton Burgess, called Tommy, The Field Mouse and His Loving Relatives. We are sure she will appreciate this book. To her partner in arms, Katherine Finn, we bequeath a position as Dean Of Merri- ment at Smith College. Her bursts of laughter ought to furnish all the qualifications necessary for this uplifting vocation. To Mildred and Harriet we present a wireless set which will flash a brilliant green light at the approach of former Beau Brummels of North Adams. The class presents a megaphone to Genie Gleason. Maybe with the use of this Miss Baright may not lose any more sleep over training voices to a deep contralto. We have seen and admired the charming poise of Madeline Townsend. We present her with an introduction to Miss Emily Post, authority on etiquette. Just help the little lady out, Madeline. To Irene Moulton we bequeath a class of tongue-tied children. That defect can be easily remedied under her expert guidance. To next year ' s occupants of Betty Costello ' s room we present a pamphlet; called Wall Paper — Its Beauty and Its Horrors edited by Costello and Swochak. The horrors of said substance can no doubt be emphasized by these two long suffering mortals. To Marie Souza and Edna Crompton we bequeath the apparatus to make a talking movie of the charms of New Bedford which they can carry with them wherever sad fate may make their future abode. Sound may be contributed by Marie, and Edna may be supervising director. To Marguerite Kramer, the class gives a position as lady-in-waiting to Queen Mary of England. After the Prince of Wales sees her we can leave out the waiting part. To the trio Ryan, Oschman, and Kane we bequeath tickets to Hollywood. But remember, we are not responsible for the havoc they will cause. We gratefully present a Baby Grand piano to Ruth Gennett as a little token of our appreciation for all the gloom she has dispelled. Music hath charms but Ruth, indeed, makes this doubly true. To Thelma Flagg the class gives a private bus to be ready at a moment ' s notice to transport her to Turners Falls. She may thus eliminate the rush and tumult of week-end departures. To Elsie Halonen ' s future school, we leave a time clock that will record all her leisure- ly arrivals and exits. We are sure that the record will show especially her early arrivals. To Florence Meacham, we present a catalogue of Syracuse University. Why pine away in a school-room when co-ed life is so luring? The Class gives Mae Meehan a bronze statue of Mercury to be placed on the radiator cap of her sport model. Not that we think that she needs any assistance from that gentle- man but one can never tell. 51 THE NORMALOGUE : : : : : : : 1929 We recommend that Miss Mercier accept a position as housekeeper at the Hotel Wendell. The maids will then learn from her Dusting As it Should lie Done. To Marien Jordan we present a copy of the song, California, Here I Come. To all bashful Juniors we present the sophistication of Muriel Emery. Perhaps you are not acquainted with Katherine Maley ' s love for hiking. We pre- sent a rubber pad to be attached to the soles of her shoes to prevent wear and tear on one of her long trips. To Sue Petcen we present a Carnegie Library. The books in that library will prob- ably keep her out of mischief for a week at least. The class appoints Miss Lucy Pritchard, Keeper of the White House Gate. Her adroit manner of squelching all types will make her suitable for that position. Everyone knows that week-ends not spent in Greenfield are dull to Stella. We be- queath her a parachute that will land only at the Greenfield Air Port. Hazel Xeidel is so quiet and small that nobody knows when she is around. Here ' s a bell to hang around her neck so that people will know she is coming. The Palmolive Company has asked us to present this contract to Dorothy Chamber- lain. She is requested to be their model for that school-girl complexion advertisements, and to appear on all bill boards far and near. To Beatrice Kiley, we present a trunk equipped with an index in which she may file all special delivery letters which have worn out the shoes of the mail men plodding up Church Street. To Helen De Roche we present Denishawn ' s Manual on the terpsichorean art. We present to Margaret MacLeod and Mary Sheehan a special course in bluffing. If they only had this at the beginning of school the state would have saved many a kilo- watt of electricity. The pet hope of Frances Wright and Eleanor Grant is to open an orphanage. There- fore we bequeath to both of these girls one filled to the brim with all sizes of Orphan Annies. Are they also interested in Daddy Long Legs? To Francis Tobin, we leave a ticket to New York and advise her to call on Mr. Zieg- field. That will be all that ' s necessary for us to see her name in the bright lights. We leave Anna Groden a pair of stilts so she need not remain so low. The world needs people like her on top. To Sally Clarke, we bequeath a rope to be used in pulling that old crowd to Sunder- land. To Esther Mealand, who always arrives ten minutes before breakfast is served, we present a magnet to pick up all her tardy students. To Antoinette Ruberto the class bequeaths a list of synonyms for her favorite expres- sion absolutely. The class presents to Dorothy Hathaway a box of gum tape to hold on to Fannie. We bequeath to Edith Grange and Edith Mottram a guardian Angel to guard them in Connecticut. We bequeath to Bessie Garbose a Boston and Maine Timetable that she may be able to visit her many North Adams friends. We bequeath to Mary MacDonald a large-sized kitchen cabint. You are all aware that Mary likes to be surrounded with plenty of good things to eat. To Helene Barrett the class bequeaths a secretary to take care of her engagements and appointments. To Margaret Coffey the class presents a shadow that will watch over her movements. 52 1929 ::::::: THE N O R M A L O G U E To Edith Marshall, a hook of car tickets so slit- may attend all social events. To Winnie O ' Neil and Therese Gamari we leave a brand-new alarm clock guaranteed to wake them up in season to reach school on time. To Helen O ' Gara we leave a political machine so elections will come out to her satis- faction. To Nan Tadiello, a box of concentrated golf halls so she may inspire awe in the hearts of her pupils when they view her height. To Mabelle Hicks, a 1910 Ford. To Catherine Dailey, a copious supply of ether waves over which to broadcast her contagious laughter. To Alice Scholz, a new brief case. To Dot Chalmers, a speedometer. To Adrianna Urbanski, a permanent pass to the Atlas Theatre. To Catherine Scott, a temper ruffler. To Peg Carlton, Therese Camari ' s pack of worries, trusting she will not take them too seriously. To Lil Cleminson we bequeath a broad-casting station so she may air her views. To Margaret Karrey, some sticking plaster to help her refrain from giggling in class. To Agnes Odell, a pair of stilts with which she may supply the boy friend who fails to come up to her standard of height. To Mil Ferguson we present applications for double rooms in every boarding house so that she may be with Helen. To Agnes Patterson, a share in the B. A. railroad so she may not worry about how often she spends week-ends in the vicinity of Stockbridge. To Peg ClifTe, a miniature theatre where she may indulge in dramatics to her heart ' s content. To Dot Burnett, an anthology of boy friends so she may keep track of her dates. To Margery Sands, an air-mail service so she will not have to wait until reaching Adams to get the news. To Gladys Sime we leave a Fierce-Sparrow which she may use in going to and from her rural school in the winter to save her the trouble of wearing so many overcoats. To Mabel Schorge, a pair of genuine ball-bearing roller skates so she w r ill no longer need to use trolley cars. To Ruth Barnes, a volume of the most popular children ' s poems so she may readily respond to requests from a certain Normy. To Annette Witanek, a well equipped library of books of all descriptions so she may satisfy her desire for knowledge. To Mary Ford, a dial telephone connected with New York so she may call and con- verse at any time with (?). To Cecile DeBlois we bequeath a supply of dancing partners who will not tread on her pedal extremities. In witness wdiereof, we, the chosen members of this superior graduating class, do hereby affix our honorable signatures.

Let us from the ivy learn to cling To stronger lives than ours, Striving to rise from present things To more elusive powers.

Life ' s worth a struggle, though we fail To reach the goal of our ideal; If we but leave behind a tale Of honest toil and earnest zeal.

LASSMATES, how often hefore us the roots of an ivy have been placed beneath the - soil around this very place! How many classes have stood where we are standing today! The songs have changed; time and customs differ, but the hearts of the planters have experienced the same joy which is bursting from us today. Observe the tiny emblem which we plant! Will it survive, you ask? Look class-, mates, at the ivy of other years. It is climbing high. It is aiming to cover the walls of our Alma Mater with its leaves. Oh, that we may heed the true ideals, hope, loyalty, and strength of this vine, and pray that its power may be instilled in our hearts. The rare old plant! What better could we choose? Its very color symbolizes its virtue! It is hope that will carry us on, on to the summit! Oh, Ivy, put upon us your indelible stamp that it may be always a reminder of our goal. Ivy, is it these lofty hills with which you are competing? Oo you seek a place higher than they? Force us to obey that instinct, O Green! Spring up and grow! Enfold the walls with memories of us; call out to the world our love for our Alma Mater, our thanks to our teachers, our loyalty to one another. Be yours then the task, if task it shall be, to force the proud world to listen to thee. We are done, rare Ivy green, forget us not. Kuthcrinc M .

During the year 1928-1929 the Council has decreased in size because of the fact that its members decided better work could be done with a smaller group. Now it consists of students representing the entire school body. Mr. Venable, the faulty advisor — to whom a great deal of thanks and appreciation is extended for his helpfulness — the presi- dent of the Council, the presidents of the Senior and Junior Classes, a representative from each section of both classes, the president of Taconic Hall, the president of the W. A. A., and the editor-in-chief of the Axis. Working with the Council are a number of clubs and committees. Among these are: The Social Committee, which under an able chairman has been providing the Student Body with enjoyable socials during the year. The Publicity Committee which also deserves worthy credit for the showing it has made this year. The purpose of this committee is to let people know there is a North Adams Normal S chool, and there is no doubt about its success in doing this. The Finance Committee consists of the treasurer of each club, and a chairman dele- gated by the Council. During the past year everything has been so systematized that there was no chance of making errors. We congratulate this committee on its mathe- matical ability! The Assembly Committee provides daily, delightful, amusing, and educational pro- grams for the school. The chairman of this committee has regulated affairs in a very creditable manner this year. It has been arranged that one day a week be set aside for Seniors, one for Juniors, one for a special program by a Senior Girl who holds any office, one for the Principal, and one for an outside speaker. In all we applaud the work of this committee and appreciate the diligent efforts of the chairman. The Lunch Room Committee, under its chairman keeps our lunch room in order. We admire its system and cleanliness! We feel that with all these people working with us that the school has progressed, and the Council is ready to be given over to new hands. We extend best wishes of success to those who are to continue with this valuable work, and hope they will have an interest- ing school year. 59 THENORMALOGUE : : : : : : : 1929 {Efje ©ramattc Club 0Uktxi President ..........

Edith Marshall npHE Dramatic Club, although handicapped at the start by the loss of its constitution - - and program, overcame these difficulties and has had a fine year. A new constitution was drawn up and a fine program provided. One of the most important events of the club year was the visit to the Drury Drama Club. This visit, though oft-postponed, was enjoyable and interesting. The play put on for the high school club ' s entertainment was the play presented at the Dramatic Club assembly. Our meetings have been varied. Some were given over to the readings of plays, others to the acting of them, and others to the study of playwrights and their works. Those programs most enjoyed were the ones to which Miss Baright contributed. The two standing committees, program and social, have been most capable. Much praise is also due the temporary officers who served while the regulars were in the training school. We leave to the Dramatic Club of 1930 and all future clubs sincere wishes for a bigger and better club. GO 1929 : : : : : : : THENORMALOGUE (glee Club Officers; President ...........

The morning before we left for our Christmas vacation, the Senior girls awakened the Juniors, singing carols in the corridors of the dormitory. Then over ninety girls went through the streets caroling beneath the windows of our nearby faculty members. Much of our time has been spent in rehearsing for The Bells of Beaujolais. The music and story-content of this operetta leave much for the picturesque imagination. Because it is delightful, the girls have enjoyed working on it, even though circumstances have made it impossible for the operetta to be given this year. The Glee Club was invited to sing in the Adams High School. Our last performance was in supplying the music for Graduation Day. 01 THE NORMALOGUE 1929 Eeabtng Club President I ' ice- President Secretary-Treasurer Librarian Katherine Maley Hazel Neidel Edna Crompton Margaret Payne r I HE aim of the Reading Club is to encourage interest in and enjoyment of good reading ■ ■ The discussions and other activities have been largely carried on with this end in view. Enrollment this year numbers eighteen regular members, two honorary members, and Mrs. Eldridge, our faculty advisor, who has been most helpful in suggesting programs and other activities. Miss Donelson, also, has lent her assistance to many of our under- takings. She and Miss Fraga were elected honorary members at the first regular meeting of the year. The club is grateful also to Miss Stacy and Miss Bishop, who have very kindly permitted us to use their summer cottage. Twelve regular meetings have been held, and they have been enlivened by special programs, book reports, and other activities. During Book Week a poster was made for use in Mark Hopkins School. On May fifteenth we enjoyed a delightful evening at the home of Margaret Payne. The close of the year was celebrated with a picnic.

How difficult it was at timea to keep Health Rules! But the number of awards shows our persistence. Our hikes to Mt. Greylock, Mausert ' s Pond, Cascade and other noted scenic places of the Berkshires, are events that will ever remain in our memories and also in our Scrap Book. Sports! Our school can boast of a speedy basketball line-up in both Senior and Junior Classes. The girls have also indulged in baseball and tennis, and have had the privilege of learning to play soccer. The final event of the year was a May Day Fete given on the lawn before Taconic Hall. At this pageant skill in stunts, apparatus work, and marching were displayed. The Seniors and Juniors danced around the Maypole. 62 1929 : : : : : : : THENORMALOGUE ®i)e ©trl g cout Club President ......... Dorothy Chamberlin Vice-President .... ....

This year we have had only one meeting a month. In that time we have worked on the material which is required of a Tenderfoot Scout: — the Scout laws, promise, motto, slogan, the pledge, the Star Spangled Banner, respect due the flag, and knot-tying. ©fje Current Cbents; Club ' I HE newly-formed Current Events Club held its first meeting early in September and - - organized under the direction of Mr. Eldridge, electing the following officers: President ..........

Then, those gifted with dramatic !■ ■ ■ ability performed behind the footlights in such a manner as to bring praise to them and to their class. But, what could they have done without their coach, Miss Baright, whose plays have always been successful, without the committees who arranged for the stage furnishings, the selling of tickets, the advertising; and without the whole-hearted support of their classmates and Junior sisters? Proud were we indeed of our girls who proved themselves to be such able and clever actresses and actors.

After Thanksgiving, practices were held almost every day in the week. Section teams were then chosen and a schedule of games was arranged. Much interest was shown in the games, and teams were loyally supported, especially when Seniors were playing against Juniors. After the schedule was completed, the class teams were chosen, two from the Senior class, and two from the Junior class. Then the great games began! Although the Senior First Team worked very hard, luck seemed to be against them and the Juniors came out victorious. In the contest bet ween the Second Teams, fate was kinder to the upper class, so that a third game, which ' 29 won, had to be played.
