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 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

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
