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.

Her ever ready smile and carefree attitude quickly won for her many friendsg and we are sure that her lovable nature will brighten her path through life. In addition to all her capabilities Nellie possessed an aptitude as a keen first baseman on our class baseball team and filled that post admirably in the interclass games. MARY BOWLER HOLYOKE, MASS. Bc us thy presence is, gratcious mul liI,'I1!I.H Mary is one of those rare girls in whom there is a mixture of studious- ness and humor. Her ability and good common sense as well as her willing- ness to help, make her the best friend '25 can have. How spotlessly neat and tidy Mary does manage to keep her much revered person. Admire her We do foiithisg also for her generosity and willingness to respond most graciously to the clarion call and assistance to others. If one. were an artist, he might paint her in delicate hues of pure gold and true blue.
