ECAUSE school days are the best days and because they are now at a close, we, the class of 1930, publish this year-book, 'igflgjil our Normalogue, in order that we may keep k'A' G5 it among our souvenirs to bring back to us in years to come recollections of our happy Normal School years. MRS. EVELY N PERRY BOYD 0 0 Behtrahnn .P Q. E HAD often heard that where music is, there friends are, but most of us failed to if realize the true significance of this until N15 Eff u - v H we entered Miss Perry s classes. .--V31 Through her efforts we have been led to see that everything about us can be interpreted in music. One can express any mood, thought or emotion through this medium. Miss Perry has not only helped us realize and appreciate this fact, but she has shown us how to lead children to understand and' express this underlying feeling in all good music. lVe have found in Miss Perry a true and helpful friend in times of need, outside as well as inside classes. In fact, she has been an inspiration to all of us. We are sorry that the incoming class of 1930 will not have an opportunity to work with and be helped by her. Therefore, in order to express in a small measure our appreciation for all she has done for us, both con- sciously, and unconsciously with her example, we, the class of 1930, dedicate this Normalogiue to Blrs. Evelyn Perry Boyd, our music supervisor, may her married life be a blissful one! Jff? ' .s . ,K F . C '1 'l's, I 1 51. 91,05 -- . r' 'U - ,..g1 - ,, V n vfi 8 - f JP- Y lf 5 . -A 4 5 Air A.

Prinicipal and Teacher of Psychology The high standards and ideals of N. A. N. S. have been nobly kept before us during our two-years stay here, thru the capable leadership of our beloved principal, hir. Smith. How eould interest possibly lag in his Psychology classes? He always had such vivid, interesting illustrations for every point. As the class of 1930 leaves the portals of N. A. N. S. it will not forget the one who has been so cooperative and encourag- mg. 10 1930 ' THE NORMALOGUE MISS BISHOP NORTH ADAMS, Mixss. Teaclzefr of Primary llletlzods That first day in September when we make our first bow to an audienee of bright fares is soon to be realized. How we have dreaded this realization of our hopes and aspirations! This trepidation has been eliminated, however, by one little lady, Miss Bishop. In her classes we have gained eonfidc-nee and knowledge which have helped make us look forward to the future with expectancy. MISS DONELSON COLRAIN, MASS. Libirariarz, Teacher of Library Bliss Donelson's gentle reproving voiee is often heard when a group of noisy Seniors forget themselves. She has taet 'plus and is capable ol' making people do what she wishes without seeming to do so. What would we Seniors have done while out teaching when we had to have material at a moment's notice if Miss Donelson had not been ready to help us? 'Her deft touch brings forth anything, so to speak. We certainly appreciate her helpfulness, cheerfulness and desire to be a friend to all of us! . ..-1. .1 i V . 1 - MISS OIYEXS NORTH Alanis, xuss.

Her radiant smile, exuberant enthusiasm, lieautitul disposition, and optimism just permeate everyone. No matter how gray the day, Miss Owens always urged us on to better spirits and made us feel very ashamed to droop the eorners just a little. How enjoyable it is to learn under sueh pleasant surroundings. Perhaps, during the busy days in our ac-tive sehoolrooms we shall reniinisee and think of our endeared teacher who taught us to look for the silver lining. 11 THENORMALOGUE 1930 ROGER F. HOLMES NORTH ADAMS, Mass. Principal af Ttrcrining School, Teacher of Child Study, Edfucafion, H istory of Education, Manage- ment and Penmanship I Mr. Holmes is one who realizes that, All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy : so, he finds time for his piano and many of our social functions. He is a real friend- -always ready to offer a suggestion or help,--a teacher of unusual professional growth, forever seeking the latest and best ideas in Education and handing them on to others: and we mustn't forhet his humor! The class of 1930 wish him the best of success in his chosen CZITCGF. MISS MARY A. PEARSON NORTH ADAMS, MASS. Teacher ry' D1'a1uing and Handicraft When some of us entered the portals of N. A. N. S., we possessed an inferiority complex concerning our Art ability. However, because of Miss l'earson's rare ability and gracious charm, even the most hopeless of us have seen a ray of hope. The class of 1930 pats itself on the back when thinking of the fine choice for class advisor. A worthy one she has proven to he. After two years of her guiding us through the whirlpools of pcrplexities and doubts, we wish to extend our sincere appreciation for the many, many helps. II is our wish that many others may have the privilege of experiencing the influence of her keen wit and graeiousncss of manner. MR. VENABLE NORTH ADAMS, Mass. Teacher of Science and Zoology Success lies noi in aellie-:wing 'Il',lGl you aim al Hu! in aiming al 'iehaf you ought Io 0!'llII'1'I'.u How vitally important becomes the problem of introducing science into schools where principals cling to antique ideas, when Mr. Ycnahle's bullet-proof arguments assail us. His convincing manner inspires us with proper scientific conceptions in regard to the phenomena of nature. In fact, we consider it a moral duty to gaze, with outward calm at least. on such mere trifles as snakes or wasps in the classroom. We shall make an earnest effort to uphold hisideals,even to the point of compiling our own courses of study or elementary science textbooks, if necessary. 12 1930 THE NORMALOGUE MR.

Une of our most patient. cheerful, and helpful teachers! She has taught us lo be better people by her example alone. You will always hold a speeial plaee in our hearts. Miss Sholes. MR. ELDRIDGE NORTH ,ADAMS, MASS. Teacher of History, Geography and Eemzonzies 'We had as Juniors been looking forward to Economies classes with Mr. Eldridge. Were we disappointed? Ver- tainly not. The lively discussions which ensued over various problems were most interesting and enlightening Shall we ever forget that memorable trip to Albany and those gay hikes to Greylock?

S. when we did and mani- fested so much enthusiasm in planning hikes and outings for us that we immediately felt that she was one of us. How much we have enjoyed her gym and hygiene classes with her cheery voice to guide us! Because of her ever ready helpful suggestions, we feel that we shall be better health teachers in our own schools. The class of 1930 leaves the best of wishes for you, Miss Weston. Ap INIISS ELIZABETH JENKINS NORTH ADAMS, MASS. Teacher of Rural Eclucation, Supervisor of Ex- tension Department, and Rural Dem- 07'lSf'7'0li'i07L Schools Miss Jenkins is one of our most business-like. yet inspira- tion-giving, teachers. Through her wide-awake classes she has shown us what opportunities we have for missionary- work in our own rural schools. We shall miss her worth- while and interesting classes, but we know that her tactful us to greater efforts! MISS BARIGHT FARMINGTON, N. H . Teacher of Story-Telling, Literafuire, E.z'pression and Ethics Some of our happiest moments at N. A. N. S. have been spent in Miss Baright's classes. She has carried us into the world of our imagination many, many times, away from our little every-day troubles: yet if we wanted or needed her help she always gave it gladly and plentifully! For example: consider our play. Miss Baright was the making of it. She is a dear friend as well as an excellent teacher to every one of us. Words fail when we try to express our appreciation of a teacher like Miss Baright. 14 1930 THE NORMALOGUE 1 ,N , , Miss F15R.oI'soN Nowru .'xo.n1s, Mass. l S ecrefa ry I'omf'r1n1lIrfp il as you gn, Ou ll liylli,frlllfzlxlff' low.

As time and tide wait for no man, the hour has come when we must bid goodbye to one who has been a real mother to us during our two years' stay at Taeonic Hall. Her ability we shall always admire and would that she give us just a taste of it. Pleasant memories, we assure you, will always be had of the many happy hours we spent with her, and especially of those well planned menus. With her help we have grown, fotmd better ideals and learn- ed the value of self possession and cooperation. Blay true happiness be, forever, hers. BIISS ALLYN HOLYOKE, Mass. Sceretary of .E.l'fE'l13I.0ll Deparfmenf It would indeed bc a strange day if we were not greeted with Bliss Allyn's cheerful smile.

A. N. S. VVhat a life we have led at N. A. N. S. for tl1e past two years! Last year as mere Jun- iors doing our utmost to imitate our coveted Seniors, but this year being coveted-I im- agine-by our dear, new Junior sisters. From the first day of school, way back in the year 1929 we've had a perfectly delightful educational life with our Juniors. I dare say, none of you almost-Senior-Juniors can possibly comprehend the reverential, respectful, soulful apartment that you occupy in the heart of each elder Senior, and even if you have not clearly seen the open kindly attitude that each Senior has had, remember that that little apartment has been reserved for you during your stay with us. Remember the trials and tribulations which you have experienced during your stay here, and the kind, sympathetic treatment extended to you in your hours of darkness by your Seniors-and so-take heed, Juniors 2' nd do unto others as others have done unto you, next year. You Juniors have certainly followed this saying, thus far. May I enumerate instances of your real cooperative spirit. - At the serious, all-important social events of the year-The Man Dances-your at- tendance and willingness to help have been especially worthy of mention. The keen, vigorous manner in which you have undertaken sports activities has been excellent. I really must mention the notable labors of Helen Whitney, Margaret Hicks, and Dorothy Stockwell. I The basketball team of the Juniors has been a formidable group and proved itself to be a worthy opponent. Not only have you ever-forward-looking-Juniors accomplished promising features in the above mentioned activities, but you have aided the various clubs in presenting performances which required skill and steadfast assistance. The Operettaf' and Dram- atic Club Play, are some fine results which were made possible by your excellent coopera- tion. g And then, not so very long ago, arose the cry from the Seniors concerning aid in mak- ing the Class Play a success. Surely enough up rose you able-bodied Juniors, true to your colors and readily answered the call in a most sisterly and gracious manner. A mong your fine contributions during the year, I must not forget to mention the good form in which Assembly Programs have been presented by our fellow workers-'many com- pliments are due you for your helpful suggestions and ideas. Although I have mentioned a number of outstanding proofs of your loyalty and good will in all the work which you did, I have merely given an inkling as to the real work which you accomplished. In closing may I state that the Junior Class of 1929-1930 has been one of the above-the average-classes as to helpfulness, loyalty, cooperation and kindliness. In behalf of the Senior Class, may I say that we Seniors have experienced a great joy in our short stay with you at N. A. N. S., and extend congratulations to such a sure-to-gain-success Class. IVe deplore that we must soon depart, and leave you behind, but we shall always remember you. I'm sure a class of your standard needs little advice so I shall again repeat do unto others as you would have others do unto you. Ive, the class of 1930, extend its best wishes to you, the Class of 1931. Edith Rosse 35 THE NORMALOGUE 1930 Glass Jliiztnrg 1523-25 SEPTEINIBER 11, 1928. Forecast: Hopeful. The Spirit of N. A. N. S. '30 left its hangar to embark on a hop to the land of knowledge and the city of realization of am- bition. Pilot Smith was on hand, and was very frank at the outset telling the prospective passengers the perils of the journey in order that the faint-hearted might yet withdraw should they believe themselves unsuited to the atmosphere at the point of debarkation, the field of teaching. Contrary to most passengers taking off for the first time the new occupants of The Spirit of N. A. N. S. '30i' were not at all timid and were on the whole a most sophisticated crowd, although they were rather a queer assortment of types. Seasoned travelers who had flown in the air ship the previous year considered theiryounger associates a rather disrespectful lot, and not at all aweful of their austere presence. September 15, 1928. Forecast: Calm with rising temperature. Passing over the sea of acquaintance into the port of friendship sped the plane. The first social event, the little sister party, took place and was a notable success. October 14, 1928. Forecast: Rising winds. The plane landed at the foot of Grey- lock as some of the passengers were desirous of hiking on terra firma once again. At intro- duction rock, half way up the mountain, the party reste.l while everyone leamed who was who among the group and why. The next stop, long anticipated, was the summit where the ravenous crowd devoured everything that was placed before them Cand more tool before returning. i October 26, 1928. Forecast: Dark and howling winds. The Spirit of N. A. N. S. '30 passed over a battle field where flying witches were combatting fluttery ethereal ghosts. Some of the latter mistaking our plane for one of the former seized us and we were in their hands the rest of the evening. 1Vhen they found that it was a case of mistaken identity they remained and entertained us most charmingly, though in their own spooky way. November 23, 1928. Forecast: Blustery winds tempered with sudden qualms. A landing was made for the purpose of allowing visitors of the male species to inspect the plane. A dance was held in honor of the occasion, and the first evidence of shyness was evinced by the younger passengers, who, on the whole, kept in the background. December 14, 1928. Forecast: Light flurries of excitement. WVhether one be on the ground or in the air, Christmas comes around every year: and Christmas must be fittingly observed. The passengers of The Spirit of N . A. N. S., '30 found gifts which had been concealed for them in all sorts of places in the gym, and Santa Claus had filled the cornicopia which had been painstakingly made under the direction of Bliss Pearson. Local talent presented a most interesting program, and pushing passengers instigated games for everyone. December 21, 1928. Forecast: Breezes. Singing of carols was in order before day- break. The plane descended in order that its occupants might dispense Christmas cheer to eager for otherwisej listeners. February 25, 1929. Forecast: Sudden showers followed by a frost. Reports of the progress of the individual passengers were distributed. February 26, 1929. Forecast: 1Vhirlwinds. A forced landing was made. A dance was scheduled, but those ever essentials-lNIen- were among the missing, hence the forced landing to get a supply for the evening. Moderate success in the undertaking is reported. ' 1 Nlarch 1-7, 1929. Forecast: Clear with twinkling stars. Not idle had been the oc- cupants of The Spirit of N. A. N. S., '30 . Tonight the results of their efforts along musi- 1930 THE NORMALOBUE cal lines were demonstrated in their presentation of an original dramatization of The N ut Cracker Suite. April 16, 1929. Forecast: Breath of Springtime. The third outstanding social event of the trip took place when a number of stowaways presented themselves. The younger passengers were becoming as bold as their sisters in inviting men to dance with them. May 29, 1929. Forecast: Jumping temperature. In order to show off their prowess as athletes and teachers of physical education a field day was held when everyone took part. This of course necessitated an audience and an audience demanded a landing. Thus The Spirit of N. A. N. S., '30 landed on the field of play. May 27, 1929. Forecast: Invigorating winds. Before starting off again the pas- sengers decided to have one grand spree. The older crowd separated from the rest and feasted lavishly in the land of plenty. Not to be outdone the Juniors held a banquet in the adjoining town where gaiety held sway. June 13, 1929. Forecast: Foggy followed by a cyclone in the evening. The day when the senior members of the party waxed eloquent about their travels in The Spirit of N.A. N. S., '30 had arrived. They weren't like Lindy . From their plane The Spirit of Romance, there transferred, in the evening, to The Spirit of N. A. N. S., '30 an army of valient Beau Brummels which quite subdued the occupants of the latter plane. How- ever they were willing victims. June 14, 1929. Forecast: Clear followed by showers. The destination of the senior members was reached. Although some of the younger members would also have alighted they were prevented from so doing by the quick take-off of the plane. They were not yet ready to leave. They had not yet covered the ground the seniors had. They must bide their timeg and in the meantime rest in vacation land. 1 Helen Ritchie 37 THE NORMALOGUE 1930 Gllaaa Elliisatnrg 1929-313 AFTER a stay of two months in Vacationland, necessitated by the need of repairs and fresh supplies of energy, the good airship, Spirit of N. A. N. S. 1930 started on the last half of its flight for the Field of Teaching. September 11. Weather: Warm and clear. lNIet friendly, favorable winds bearing hearty greetings from all our crew-mates and instructors. lllessages exchanged with the Junior flyers. Crew in jovial mood. October 25. VVeather: Cloudy and black. Landed for one night in Wiitcherydom. Junior spirits gave a special party previous to their regular Hallowe'en celebration for our beneht after which all the crew returned in good order. The only misfortune was that the skeleton in the ship's chest that was borrowed to give spectralsatmosphere for the occasion, returned in a highly decorated condition. The crew's nerves were none too good the next day because of their harrowing experiences in a noisome tunnel. November 22. Weather: Changeable, varying winds and moods. Crew highly excited. Dance on board ship to which MEN are invited. Great scarcity of this commod- ity recorded. Finally, one of the specie is produced for every desirous collector .and shipped express. All material arrived intact and gave satisfaction for the evening. Everybody happy. December 13. Weather: Clear and crisp. Descended to assist Spirit of Christmas by singing carols and speaking in its favor. Spirit of Christmas expressed appreciation by filling our stockings to the top at Christmas time. December 31. VVeather: Promising for future. Descended on 1930 Field for party. All returned in good health except 1929 who died suddenly at exactly 12 o'clock midnight. January 25. VVeather: Snowy and cold. Crew restless, anxious to try land legs again. Doctor Weston ordered all out for sleigh ride. Great rejoicing, especially when mess was announced. February 7. Weather: Clear. Heard the Bells of Beaujolaisn and landed to get our bearings. Crew lost their heads and frolicked with the village youths and maidens. Discipline all gone. Those villages are regular sirens. They should be coached and direct- ed by Miss Perry. February 14. VVeather: Breath-taking and heart-stirring. Crew again out of hand. That animal rare to the Spirit of N. A. N. S. 1930 again descended in our midst. Cupid also present. Great havoc. Our crew lost all sense of propriety and danced with absolute strangers from the fourcorners of Massachusetts. Acquaintances were quickly made and invitations immediately followed. Devastating mortality. hlany others sustained sprain- ed hearts. lNIay 16. VVeather: Puzzling. Crew all excited about A Scrap of Paper. 1VIiss Baright responsible for the success of the plot. Some of the crew found to be excellent actors. Chief conspirators given flowers and all received congratulations. May 23. VVeather: WVarm! Crew reviewed on Campus by hliss Weston and citi- zens of North Adams. Training school and Junior flyers also inspected. Exhibition of drills, stunts and interpretive dancing followed. Crew very warm and ready for refresh- ments, but none came. Doesn't do to pamper them. lllay 28. Weather: Appetizing. Crew and instructors gathered together in 1Villiams Inn for the last mess where all are present. Appetites and expectations great. The for- ward looking ones already see their allotted places in the Field of Teaching, but we near- sighted ones catch glimpses only of Class Day and the Prom. All reports considered and calculations made, it is reckoned that Teaching Field will be reached on Friday, June 13. Three cheers for the good airship Spirit of N. A. N. S. 1930, her brave instructors and her Officers! 38 Doris Fuller 1930 THE IAIORMALOGUE Qilaaa rnpherg CNCE upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary Over many an interesting and curious volume of Normal lore- 'While I nodded nearly napping, suddenly there came a tramping As of someone loudly stamping, stamping on my wooden floor. 'Tis Betty Ballou and Anne Chase tramping on my wooden floor, Betty and Anne and nothing more. 1. And there they stood-tall policemen In uniform so grand, And showed how they direct our nation IVith a lordly wave of hand. In giving commands they were adept Back in our training school days, And now that they have grown to womanhood They cannot change their ways. 2. I may as well Proceed to tell About the Artist Vary IVho grew quite rich At work the which VVas painting signs to carry. She owns a shop On our Hill Top Kissed gently by the breezes I VVhere she reigns supreme With pomp and sheen And does just as she pleases. 3. Naomi Burnett is a singer now- The greatest on the stage, For she has revised an age old song lN'hich soon became the rage. Perhaps you'd like to have me quote A line or two for you For then I know you'd recognize This song of love so true. Boy of my dreams-I love you Honest I do! And now I hope you'll rest assured In saying she was right That this-the sweetest song on earth Has set her in the light. 39 THE NORMALOGUE 1930 4-. Because they loved their school so well and never missed a day Tweet Judge and Dot Donovan find it hard to keep away. They went far ofl' to Europe and learned much history, And then came back here again-teachers now are they. The pupils all do love them, because they ne'er do strive To copy Mr. Eldridge's assignments-which were not one--but fire. 5. Said Mary Gwozdz to hlary lVIcGratl1 With a smile so broad and jolly, I think the best thing we can do Is to buy and run the trolley. And so they bought a street-car And equipped it with arm chairs Now one is the motorman The other collects the fares. 6. Ellen Fitzgerald, the ambassador, from U. S. A. to France, To speak before French noblem.n was offered once the chance. Now, at Normal, when Ellen was young, at Grammar she was a shark. And so when she began to speak they eagerly did hark. And great was their surprise to hear, when she began to stammer, English words and comic idioms that were never heard in grammar. But sheso amused the Frenchrnen, by the words at her command That for after dinner speeches, Ellen is greatly in demand. By the side of a running stream, two charming women sat At one side of them was a dog, and asleep at their feet was a cat. The dog gave a flying leap, the cat it awoke with a start. Tlgese pugilistic attempts brought joy to the fair ladies' hearts. These women-Ellen LaFave and Grace Harwood- spent all the days of their life Trying to solve the eternal problem of this animalistic life. 7. Blodgett and Rosse opened on broadway- From across the deep blue sea, Tall and broad and black of beard And hoarse of voice as man may be. 8. The people praised them-called them noble, Greater men on stage ne'er stept, But their classmates did not know them And they smiled not-nor they wept. But someone in the audience Set a Hershey Bar in sight, They saw them eat- 'tis they! 'Tis they! They knew-their appetite. 40 1930 THE NORMALOGUE 9. 'Twas many and many a year ago In Normal-just for fun, That Viola Mitchel played with toys And so her work did shun. She was so full of speed and pep Back in her training school days That in the place where Vi now works Each day she gets a raise. It sounds too good, but it is true That Vi has made some dough Kneading bread in a bakery shop, As well you all might know. 10. The Axis has its ups and downs These facts I must confess. But as regards J. Elphinstone's case The ups were for the best. She had such excellent training In transacting its affairs That now she is a business woman On VVall Street-selling shares. ll. In history one holds a place Q Unique, unparalleled, sublime, The first in every Derby Race It's Loyola North, every time. A jockey bold is Loyola now Trim, stylish and unbeat. For now as then in our dear old School Speed up is Loyola's golden rule! 12. Far off in the waste of desert sand, Merle Woodward rules with heavy hand. She sits on a throne of soft, green moss And glows with pride 'cause she's the boss. The incorrect English spoken far and wide, Just about humbles her royal pride, But sad to relate, she knows not what to do next For she has completely forgotten her normal school text. 41 THE NORMALOGUE 1930 13. Pete Prindle is a nice young ladyg School teacher is her trade. She fell in love with a millionaire But he did not know this maid. Now this is sad, she had no nerve To sue for his attention, T And so an actress she besought To tell him her confession. An actress girl, so people say Is often very lucky But Al Pendergaist whom Pete called in YVas also vcry plucky. - As if by chance Fate intervened The athletic one he parried And so, when all is said and done , . Twas the actress one he married. 14. Nettie hIcNaughton, a teaching device in mind Tried hard to be a poet- And give Science lessons all in rhyme The muse she felt-but couldn't show it. For days and days she sought in vain For a word to rhyme with deer fur And the only words which she could think Were stir?-no, Ster! i 15. A radio announcer, so people say hlust have a powerful voice. And so from a number of candidates Chis hIcClare11 was first choice. At night if you care to listen To her tones as they come on the air, You'll stand still with amazement and wonder At the power and the strength used there. 16. This is thc sorrowful story Of lovely hlarie lVheel0ck lYho went far cast to gather All kinds of precious stock.

'Twas on the coast that Lois Cromack One day was found by me Sitting alone on a piece of stone And a-singing this song was she. O, I'm a cook, and a captain bold, And the mate of the Nancy Brig And a bo'sum tight, and a mid-ship mate And the crew of the captains gig. Say, Lois Cromackf' I sgid to her, How all these can you be? Oh my boy friend is a sailor, and teaches this rule At the Naval Academy. In a red-brick school on a hillside green, There's the best girls' coach that ever was seen. In the twenty-five years that she's coached this school, She has strictly adhered to the old Normal rule.- Each girl who aspires to play in a game blust be able to tell the referee-or she wins no fame. All over the country--East, West and South You'll hear this great name-Aleta -E. North. Edith Pierce, of Whom I sing, Has lately been offered a place in the ring. Having wrestled for years on a farm with her tools, She's developed great muscles, and learned all the rules Used by boxers in Hghting and clinching and shoves. So Edith has gone to try on the gloves! Esther and Daisy, I see once more Stately and tall as in days of yore. Instead of jazzing as in former years, They now minuet with handsome courtiers. For both, you see, have married counts And live in splendor on the top of mounts. And the higher they climb, the loftier their pose, As way up in the air each regally goes. X 43 THE NORMALOGUE QI. Merry and gay, the tale is told Of Eleanor Fitzgerald, brave and bold. Who wandered about from place to place Trying to enter a handicap race. At last in Pawtucket, a town by the sea, She was entered in one, and her number was three Now sad to relate she was given a dress, Which made her quite bashful, I must confess. She donned it not, 'cause she didn't know exactly For the only males she'd known, were the nice, gentle faculty And so bf-ing barred from the obstacle race She's gone in the world-to win a man's place. QQ. There are two staid and reverend ladies Connie and Helen their names, And really they're so good and kind They fill one with the deepest shame. They walk around with folded hands And utter a pious prayer Little caps set on their heads And cover up their hair. 23. I sing of Molly Stratton, a school ma'am severe Who taught in a back country school. She scolded the children and filled them with fear When she brandished her hickory rule. One day as she scolded, the sheriff rode by And decided to stay for a while. So she primped herself up, and winked her blue ex e And coyly consented to smile. 'Twas not very long fere wedding bells rang In the little church next to the schoolg And now as a wife she is even more strict, And the sheriff abides by her rule. Q4-.

Today is the day on which we have our last class meeting as a whole, and on which nc entertain our parents and friends. Today we have at last arrived at our first mile-stone in our long journey, and although we have met with some very difficult obstacles, which all must ever meet in every path to success, we have conquered them triumphantly and trudged along this path to our des- tination- success together, thankful for our efforts in striving to fulfill our resolutions. Could all our efforts carry us far if we had no inspiration to guide us? Vilhenever things seemed dull and we experienced discouragements or disappointments there has always been the thought that our friends wanted to share with us our pleasures and our tasks, and this inspired us onward to our goals. Without this inspiration and encouragement, it would have been hard to face the discouragements and disappointments. During these two busy, happy years we have learned to recognize the great service which we must render to others. Each one of us is well equipped for such a service and will go forth willingly, ready to help all those with whom we may come in contact, and eager to perform our duty. Service has played a great part in our career at N. A. N. S. for we have striven to achieve the traits which are found in the ideal service, by helping others, by showing kindness, and by performing our duty to our class, our school and to ourselves. When we continue along this golden path alone may we always bear in mind and be guided by the ideals of our Alma Materg may we eagerly render service by cheering and help- ing those with whom we have been entrusted. To lVIr, Smith and Members of the Faculty, with whom we have been working, we are indeed, very grateful for your unceasing efforts in assisting us by showing your interest in our work. Your wise guidance during these two years is responsible for our confidence in our future service and success. Wle appreciate the sacrifice which you have made in order to send us out into the world better equipped to do our part in our noble service willingly. lVe shall always feel thankful for our association with you and know that our work will be the greater for it. To the Parents and Friends, who have shared with us our troubles, we are happy today to share with you our feelings of joy at our progress towards success. llothers and Fathers, we only hope as we climb ever upward that you will be repaid for all you have done in helping us fulfill our resolution. Classmates: Although we have at last reached this first mile-stone, we alone. could not have climbed so high without the help of others. W'e are especially indebted to two groups of people, first our parents. To you, dear ones, the time is yet t.o come when we can fully express our appreciation for the great sacrifices which you have made so that we could become leaders in rendering service to others. lNIere words cannot express fully our very deep appreciation and gratitude to you. In the two years which we have spent here. we have formed friendships which will go on forever. Wie have learned to value them and they will mean a great deal in years to come. lVe have worked together, played together, and we have given our best efforts to tasks which had to be accomplished, and we have learned to know the duties with which a teacher is entrusted-the value of service to man- kind. 53 THE NORMALOGUE 1930 Blay you, classmates, never forget the time which we have spent in these dear halls. May you always consider the time spent here as the happiest period of your life, never forgetting the ideals or standard which you set up here and may you always keep before you our class motto: f'Esse Quam Videre'-To be rather than to seem.

Before and between the acts a musical program was given by Miss Grace Chapman, violinist, and Miss Mary Louise Ashton, pianist. The play- A Scrap of Paper is the story of a yonn g couple, Louise M erival and Lewis Latham who are desperately in love with each other. Secretly they have been carrying on correspondence and using a statuette on the shelf in the country house of the maiden's home for their post oflicef' Their bliss is brought suddenly to an end when the maiden's parents discover the young couple's infatuation for each other and hurry Louise ofl' and marry her to the French Baron De La Glassier. She leaves a note explaining her absence in the secret Post. Time elapses and after three years, Lewis returns once more to thc Merival home, disillusioned and hardened by his desertion. He comes to petition for the hand of Dorothy, Louise's sister. The latter, of course, is strenuously opposed to the match. Many hot words are spoken between them, and in the course of their quarrel, Louise discovers that her letter had never been received. V Many comical complications arise in the pursuit of the letter. Vera Addington, Louise's charming friend throws her lot in with Louise and tries to secure the letter for her. She uses her antennae dexterity against Lewis, but finds that she is too clever by half, and the letter or scrap of paper, which she found is again lost. Each one in tl1e play is accused of having the letter, and many comical events occur. The letter is finally recovered and the comedy is brought to an end when the scrap of paper, the fatal missive is burned to the satisfaction of all concerned. The play called for a great deal of earnest work, and the results were very satisfactory. It is not an ordinary production but one that is classed with Goldsmith's She Stoops to Conquer , Sheridan's The Rivals and Shakespeare's Comedies. The scenery was cs- peeially beautiful and many complimentary comments were heard from the audience. Naomi Burnett acting as Vera Addington was certainly a charming girl, and suited her part perfectly. A great deal of credit and praise goes to Marion Larkin as Lewis Latham. We certainly like Marion as a debonair gentleman. A most fitting Baron De La Glassier was Grace Blodgett, and Louise Merival,played by Alice Pendergast, was very cleverly acted. There is no doubt that bugs are fascinating in more than one way, and Edith Rosse impressed the audience with this fact. As for Jessie Elphinstone in the role of Peter Stringham's censorious sister we couldn't wish for a better aristocrat. Our hat goes off to Evelyn Holloway as Larry. Faint heart never won fair lady is a familiar expres- sion, but in this case it did. lVe commend Joe lVan t as Dorothy hlerival, and sister to Louise. Ruby Totman made a stern caretaker, Evelyn VVhitmore a flirlatious maid, and Florence Hickey and Esther Sevelius satisfactory servants. The seniors owe Miss Baright a debt of gratitude, for it was through her untiring efforts in coaching that the play was so successful. The cast felt doubly repaid for the persevering efforts they had put into the play when it was received with so much enthusiasm. 57 v-u '3' . Q.. LASS Ol I! C 1930 : THE NORMALOGUE Evelyn E.

Besides these events, much commendable work was done this year by the girls in charge of assembly programs. Their efforts made possible our enjoyment of special speakers and features. lilany interesting programs were given by the students, also. Our publicity committee deserves credit for making N. A. N. S. known to others. Then, too, we had a fine committee which oversaw all social gatherings. The lunchroom, due to good management, was always in neat order. But the most exacting work was done by the finance committee with its able chair- man. The school is grateful for the careful handling of the money. The regulating of' school actitivies by the pupils is a fine institution. lYe wish all suc- cess to next year's Student Council which will carry on the work we have tried to advance. 61 'IS STAFF A X sie , Jos U1 I-1 0 z 2 Q ..g G5 I-1 r -1 v E 'U I-1 '23 J ii A O C '..: U2 ': -:F we 3 5 .M U O -A-3 UI P: ..: 4-3 o in c Q C 'S .-C N L.

Our first public performance came in February in the form of an Operetta- The Bells of Beaujolaisf' The rehearsals for this constituted almost entirely our year's work. Needless to say our effort was a huge success due in a large measure to the keen in- terest and unswerving purpose of our director, Mrs. Evelyn Perry Boyd, with whom the girls cooperated to the best of their ability. We were amply rewarded with a charming tea which Mrs. Boyd gave us in apprecia- tion of our diligence. The diligence may be questionel but the success of the party may not. Another bright spot in our program was the time honored custom of carol-singing. Although the weather was far from perfect there was no lack of enthusiasm and inspiration. Throughout the year rehearsals have been held with regularity and enjoyment every Tuesday afternoon. lVe wish to take this time to express our appreciation and devotion felt by all for Mrs. Boyd. lVe cannot feel regret at her happiness. lVe can only feel deep sympathy for the Juniors who will be deprived of the joys of her leadership. 64- T930 THE NORMALOGUE 65112 Bramaiir Gluh President Cornelia Prindle Vice-President Naomi Burnett Secretary Thelma Card Treasurer Irene DeMarco Chairman of Program Committee Edith Rosse THE Dramatic Club of North Adams Normal is under the direction of Miss Mary Louise Baright. It is composed of the members of the school who have a special talent and are especially interested in dramatic work. Two meetings are held a month in which programs are conducted by the members. An acquaintance with well-knovm playwrights and their works is an important aim of the club. Plays are conducted by the members to broaden their knowledge of good plays and to better their dramatic ability. The past year has been quite eventful. The play Joint Owners in Spain which was presented in assembly gave the school an opportunity to enjoy the humorous treatment of the trials and tribulations which one would encounter in an Old Ladies' Home. As a final activity the Dream of Fair VVomen by Tennyson was studied. Every member in the club was given a chance to try out for one of the character parts. The fair women represented included Helen of Troy, Cleopatra, .loan of Arc, Jephetra's Daugh- ter and other illustrious characters. After the presentation of the play to the club for criticism, it was given before the entire school. The members who are leaving this year extend their thanks to Miss Baright and wish the future Dramatic Clubs much success in their helpful and interesting work. 65 THE NORMALOGUE 1930 Elie Benning Qlluh President Florence Hickey Vice-President Lillian Ackerman Secretary-Treasurer Margaret Driscoll Librarian Grace hiochrie .Af THIS year the Reading Club started, in the library, a two cents a day book shelf con- sisting of modern fiction which is not provided by the state. At a social meeting at Miss Jenkins' home, Mrs. Rood, organizer of libraries, gave us a very interesting talk on up-to-date books. Many other meetings were held at which various modern poets and authors were discussed. Thus we feel that the work of this club has been very successful as well as enjoyable. mnmmfzi Athletir Amanrialtinu President Marion Larkin Vice-President Janet Smith Secretary Kathryn Kelly Treasurer Edith Pierce Head of Sports Aleta E.

The number of awards prove our persistence in keeping Health Rules and partaking in athletic events. Basketball seems to be our favorite sport and not a slow one at that! Both Junior and Senior Classes had a team of no little ability. The girls have also shown interest in baseball, archery, tennis, soccer and volley ball. The lNIay day Fete given on the lawn before'Taconic Hall was a fitting climax for our successful school year. This event included marching, dancing, stunts and apparatus work. At the close the Juniors and Seniors had the annual May Pole Dance. 66 1930 THE NORMALOGUE Bamkethall WHEN the present Senior Class were Juniors they had two c-lass teams in Basketball. so popular was the sport.
