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.

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
