NORLMAL OEFFERING 13 remember him as one, who, in his life and work, will ever be an inspi- ration to us. His work has been ably taken up by our principal, Mr. A. C. Boyden. In our English and Reading departments, we have noted a change. Miss Moflitt, who last year substituted for Miss Brown, has become one of our faculty. The regard in which she is held is shown by her successful Dramatic Club. In the Gymnasium work, Miss Broughton, a former graduate of our school, has taken the place of Miss Atkinson. Among our men teachers, we have missed the kind words from Mr. Wilder who instructed us in bench work. The excellent work this year shows the earnestness with which his successor, Mr. Lord, has filled his position. A new course in plumbing for the young men has brought forward Mr. Annis as a practical and hard working instructor. Owing to the death of Mr. Gurney, a vacancy was left in our faculty which has been ably filled by Miss Fletcher. In the Model School life, we have missed the faithful, earnest, and unselfish .work of Miss Turner who left us in the middle of the year to be married. We were very much pleased by the way in which Miss Moodie, coming from Beverly, has filled her place. Outside of a few changes in the course of study, the new faces, and the loss of a few faculty members, the work is progressing in true ' c Normal ways, and we trust that the new members will unite with the old, and always be honored in the hearts of their student friends.

NORMAL OFFERING 15 '-Iihitnrial. OMEONE has wittingly remarked that, A quill is something taken from the pinions of one goose to help spread the opinions of another. Although this is hardly axiomatic, we fear that it is not always inapplicable to writers. For this reason, the retiring Editors, as they place their pen-holders over their ears and tilt back in the editorial chair, are not wholly without those conflicting emotions which great men are wont to feel when becoming freed from grave responsibilities. I Among the expectations which come each year with the Com- mencement Exercises, there appears a longing in the form of a review of the past school year, which becomes a reality in the NORMAL OFFER- ING. This year the Editorial Board has worked with the idea of leaving a permanent record which will recall in future years the interesting happenings during the eventful school year of 1913-'14, The physical disability of the original editor for this year caused a change in the administration of the OFFERING. But, with the coopera- tion of students, faculty, and editorial board, it has become possible to answer the question When is the OFFERING to come out? for the sixteenth time. This year, owing to a pecuniary shortage, there have been a few changes in the OFFERING, among which are the absence of the prize story and prize cartoon. But changes in the arrangements of headings and class histories, together with an assortment of good, original, and heartfelt jokes, have offset the lack. It is hoped that the change in the arrangement will meet with approval. . The editor regrets that all of the pictures and cartoons which were handed in could not be used, and extends his thanks to those who con- tributed the unused materials. For the rest, we would say that without their aid, the book could not have become a reality, and in appreciation of their good taste and excellent composition we thank those of our Faculty: Mr. A. C. Boy- den, Miss Bertha S. Badger, Miss Florence I. Davis, Miss Alice E.
