5? T J Q23 S.ie1.---,, 0115155 15112111 In the early days of Autumn 1923, Thirty happy girlish figures appeare-d at O. L. E. Some from whirling cities Like Springfield, Holyoke too, Many came from mountain sides The Berkshire Hills so blue. One there was from Worcester, The city of' seven hills Another came from Bondsville And Charlton's country rills. Was'nt it just too funny That cool September day When each would look at the other Wondering what to say? But soon the ice was broken And very soon indeed, The thirty girlish figures Talked at a terrible rate of speed. Then began our Normal days, A School, entertainments, socials and plays And before we knew and were able to Away sped the year of '23. 1924 holds many pleasures in memories Especially September of that year believe store! Our hearts were happy and filled with cheer For to us was given the best of all The privilege of entering O,Leary Hall. While dwelling on the pleasures of 1924, We must mention two figures Who appeared on Senior floorg For Stockbridge and Great Barrington They were pleased to intercede So we took them into our Normal class And pleased they were indeed, For despite the fact they came the last We welcomed them not the least. Now 'tis past the dawning of 1925, And we're just full of longings While our hearts doth throb with sighs, For all the joy and gladness Of two, swift, happy years, Is locked up in our memories And cherished there so dear, To bring fun, jest and laughter Through glim-merings of unshed tears.
