Teacher fy' lllusic and Aritlzrnetic This dainty little lady from the East is Miss Dix, our music instructor, who, to till a vacancy left hy Mrs. Boyd, joined us this year. Her love and appreciation of music has inspired us all, and, hecause of that, we will go out into our schools with a hetter understanding of music. Especially is her work with the Glee Vlulm appreciated hy the Seniors who enjoy no other class lvetter than their chorus work on Monday morning.

THE NORMALOGUE 1931 XY Q'-E' 'Yak 5, I KX - X MISS MARY L. BARIGHT FARMINGTON, N. H. Teacher of Literature, Expression and Ethics Miss Baright is one of those rare persons who can have several irons in the fire and give her best attention to each. For two years she was never too busy to be present at assembly rehearsals, coach our plays, correct the Axis and Normalogue material, and sponsor the Dramatic f'lu.b besides planning for all her classes. Miss Baright is certainly an ideal N. A. N. S. teacher since she ' doeth with her might whatever her hand findeth to do. We have enjoyed and found profit not only in her classes but we have enjoyed the assignments Miss Baright gave us as well. For increased ability to interpret the written word, the power to see a glory in the commonplace and greater vision of the ideal we thank Miss Barigbt. l'or this is what she has done for the class of I93l. MISS MARY A. PEARSON SPRINGFIELD, NIASS. Teacher of Drawing and Handicraft Miss Pearson possesses that wonderful faculty of making hard things seem easy. No one who has done blackboard drawing under her supervision will say that it is one half as hard as we thought it was. Miss Pearson showed us how and we found it easy. Who has a keener sense of humor than she? Just watch her eyes twinkle and the corners of her mouth quiver when she is suppressing a smile. It is hard to tell whether we like the subject or the teacher better. MISS BERTHA SHOLES NORTH ADAMS, MASS. Teacher of Handworlr, Sanitation, Foods, and Sewing What Senior docs not remember our Foods classes with Miss Sholes? Who can ever forget the interesting classes with her. Miss Sholes has one of the first requisites of a good teacherfa cheerful and patient manner. She will long be held in esteem by the class of l93I. I2

Tear-her Qf Hygiene and Physical Education We have always found Miss Weston enthusiastic' and helpful in any of our difficulties.
