And then we know that she has received another of those loving missives penned by some one of her admirers whom she left behind her in Ireland. .Xll cares and perplexities vanish when Margaret appears, and we all feel sure that on account of her sunny disposition she will find happiness and success in whatever she attempts.

F Grace had not made me promise not to say a word about how she had to run every morning to catch the car for Normal, I would tell you all about it: but I don't dare now. IVhile working up at Hartwellville. practising what she had learned in Domestic Arts course the first year, she made many friends, Ask her about it. If there is any one in our class who knows all about the workings of the outside world ' and current events, it is Grace. At present she is anxious to obtain a position up in Savoy where she knows she will have a good time. Ivherever she goes we hope she will have good success for she certainly deserves it. 32 NORMALOGUE V MARGUERITE FRANCES MCMAHON, Pittsfield, Mass. ARGUERITE, known as class wit , is always smiling. Her smile she carries into the class room and allows the faculty to enjoy her clever jokes as well as the scholars. If any of our classmates are down and out let them call on Marguerite. and with her optimistic nature she will soon dispel all thoughts of care and sorrow. Her favorite expression is Never mind, girls, June is coming: if we live till then we shall all be free once more. la' ANNA MARION MILLER. North Chester. Mass. LTHOUGH one of the quiet girls in our class, Marion has a strong influence: especially in a recitation when no one else seems to remember just that part she can usually supply it. No one ever asks help of her in vain, for Marion is a most conscientious student, always knowing the lesson. She possesses a great amount of patience. but when this is exhaust- ed. as occasionally will happen, we know that something is up, for sure. Next year when we are far from Normal, we shall miss Klarion and often wish her near to help us with some difficult problem. ODNA ANASTASIA MONAT. Huntington. Mass. HY, here's our woman suffrage leader who is also our house president. and doubtless her belief in suffrage has received an impetus on learning how well girls can uphold and obey all house rules. The truth of the motto, Variety is the spice of life, Odna has proven by changing the saying, O, he's a cousin of mine, to 0 he's an uncle of mine. Since Odna has mastered all those industrial problems, she has shown her ability to become in the near future a great industrial suffragette leader. This may now sound improbable. but stranger things have happened. NO R M A LOG U li 553 MARGARET IRENE MURRAY, North Adams. Mass. 64 ITTI.I'I hut oh, my! Margaret is the captain of the S.

This optimistic girl has the happy facility of drowning all cares in the merriest laughter in the whole school. It is silenced only in chapel when Miss Murray appears as dignified as a deacon. As she intends never to grow up, age qualifications were outweighed hy an exceptionally well developed mind and ex- cellent moral character, when she was admitted to Normal at the tender age of fifteen. The first thing she was taught was where to strike matches, plant rakes. etc. BL lN'l.'s escort is a source of much anxiety to Mr. Guss. I wonder what he meant one evening as we played hasket hall when he said, lVho is going home with you, Miss Murray? Miss hlurray has gradually increased in literary ahility from amazing questions the teachers cannot answer, illus- trated diaries, interesting parodies, poultry show petitions, etc., to the honor of the very responsihle position of editor of our Normalogue.

ELLIE is one of our best scholars, for she always know what to answer when called upon in class. Wle are indeed proud of her. She has a wonderful knowledge of grammar as her young Junior friends have found to their grief, for Nellie, while visiting in their rooms, daily labors to instruct them in the subject. As a reward for these lessons, the Juniors assist her in knitting bags and making baskets. Psychology is becoming a very interesting subject to Nellie, a fact that is shown by her many ardent and inter- esting questions while discussing the subject with her friends. Never during her two years here has Nellie wished for male com- pany. WVhy should she? Has she not always had the Norman Baron with her? Never cast down, but always the same, with a pleasant smile and a light step, Nellie goes about her duties, making us all happy to see her. FLORA BIILDRED OAKES, Clarksburg, lNIass. T may be for the purpose of waiting for a certain white horse, though I personally doubt it, that anyone wandering through the building just before dinner hour will find this fair maid busy at work over her desk. lYe all love Flora dearly for her very little self. She is always just the same pleasant girl. never cross unless you try her sense of f neatness. Things are naturally neat and tidy about her, and every- .' thing seems just made to match her light blue eyes and pretty hair. Her kindness and generosity exceed all bounds, and some say it may extend even to the giving away of her name. One thing there is, however, that troubles Flora, and this is her soul. Wle cannot understand the cause of it ourselves, but ever and anon we hear her cry, Oh my soul! CHRISTINA CECELIA O'BRIEN, North Adams, Mass. EEN is one of the smallest members of our class but she makes up for what she lacks in size by the good use to which she puts her voice. None of us will forget those head tones which even Miss Searle was forced to commend. Teen has a very good opinion of herself and when she tosses her head we know she cares nothing for what we may think as long as she herself is satisfied. She is as apt with her feet as she is with her tongue. and teaches us all the newest dances. lYhile she has been at Normal we have all grown to love her as no one could help doing, and we all feel sure she will make a great teacher when she gets out into the world.

ARRIE has lived a Very studious life here at Normal. In fact, her hobby is studying, and she has even been known on festive occasions to retire behind a screen and pursue her lessons. On rare occasions she comes forth and views the landscape o'er, but she believes in mental rather than in physical exercise. Her winning smile is ever present and we all think that she must eat Quaker Oats secretly, for she has the smile that won it come off.

MABEL VVILLIAINIS, North Adams, Mass. HY Write at length about Hblondie lVilliams , our Mabel I mean? This fair damsel is so popular amoii her friends that there are very few of us who could not at once recall many instances in which Mabel was a leading personage. It was Blabel who belonged to the far-famed Glee Club at Normal and who sang in its noted double-trio. But she became most prominent in the publicis eye as Nessa in our Senior Dramatics. Ah! what a genius in the class room, she was always ready with her well thought out answers to questions of every kind. But there were times when blondie was missed as much by her companions as Proserpine was by Ceres when the grey-bearded king of darkness carried her away to the under world. The numerous outside affairs to which Mabel attended cheated us of her company so often. 1 ' Nevertheless the memory of this maiden will ever cling. TAQUNIL' I'IALL ' - sf., SCENE IN THE BERKSHIRES NORMALOGUI2 Ahnnrmal lflifv Our Nor 111zL l days are ending And many pleasures too lVe canit forget, dear Normal The days we've spent with you. In order to live a strictly Normal life one must forget all social functions. Why ? Because when we're once here we're here for business. However, there are exceptions to all cases, when we do have some social affairs to which the expression It is quality and not quantity that counts could fittingly be applied. Thus, one cannot look back on her school days here without recalling the good times enjoyed at the parties, dances and entertainments in which both faculty and students took part-but faculty and students only. The first dance of the year is the Senior reception to the Juniors. Upon arriving at the hall each little Junior has a badge, on which her name is written, tacked on to her by some motherly Senior and then she is escorted into the reception room, there to be introduced to the faculty. May it not be that this plan of escorting which is employed by the Seniors is for the purpose of keeping the Juniors from being lost in the vast realms of the dance hall? And what do we do at this reception? you ask. YVe dance, of course, but with students and faculty only, for on this occasion we dance sir! lhat grand man dance YVhere ourselves we do deceive Because those lovely men Are only make-believe. On the 22nd of February comes the colonial party when it is almost impossible to recognize even your most intimate friends as they all assemble in the quaint and dig- nified costumes of hlartha VVashington or Betsey Ross or represent the still more stately figure of the father of his country. The next entertainment given by the teachers on St. Valentine 's Day is the one to which the students look forward with more pleasure than to any other occasion during the year. After dinner, at which time the tables are beautifully decorated with cupids. hearts, flowers and favors suitable to the thought of good old St. Valentine and lighted only by the soft flicker of a multitude of candles-everyone adjourns to the hall to wit- ness the social feature of the evening which during our Junior year consisted of a series of Living Picturesf' representing masterpieces in art and a farce entitled Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch , and during the Senior year a portrayal of a number of scenes from Dickens. This year, however, the teachers were unusually generous and gave us a rare treat in the form of another farce entitled The Up-to-Date District School in which our instructors were the pupils for the evening, for which entertainment the teachers were fully repaid as will be told later. NORMALOGUE Q .Uuninr 0112155 Manqnrt Un April 19, 1911 the Junior class banquet was held at the Richmond It IS hardly necessary to tell how pretty the dining hall looked decorated in the class colors black and gold, and with the numerals 1912.

At length it was ended and quickly the challenge was accepted by the Normal girls who responded with Hail to Thee, Our Alma Matter . But watch- ful chaperones closed the doors and the merriment proceeded. Thus 1912 amused it- self until the shockingly late hour of ten o'clock! The last reception of the year is faculty reception at which the students and their friends are received by the faculty. It is then that the Seniors realize that their Normal days are over and they begin to appreciate some of the good times which they have had there. But perhaps their minds do not turn at first to all these formal affairs of which we have told. If you ask any one of them she will honestly tell you that those little informal Hfeedsn at twelve o'clock or, the midnight spreads are remembered with far greater pleasure than all the formal affairs ever given. So the class of 1912 as it leaves Normal wishes the following classes all the good times possible and would willingly suggest ways to obtain them but the question is. Does it need to?,' -Elizabeth Ill. Kiley GZQQQZZZQCEMEZQZZFZQQ 5 4 2 4 Du ENIOR S hr 0112155 Iglag 1 I II ll A Glmig nf Ihnrnu l ' Csfi r iHOR weeks the seniors were busy practising for the class play lhe l'wig of Thorn , a delightful little Irish drama by Josephine IVarren. The play is charmingly woven from the old Irish folk-lore in the manner of Yeats, the leader in the national play movement. For a number of years the seniors have given several very interesting and successful plays, but the Twig of Thorn is quite equal in charm ofistyle and manner of presentation to anything hitherto attempted. It was given in Normal Hall on Friday evening, May twenty-fourth, before a large and appreciative audience, and the presentation was a credit both to Miss Baright's careful training and the senior's efforts. The scene of the play is laid in Galaway County, Ireland, at the time of the Great Famine. Oonah, the heroine, has come from Dublin to visit her grandmother, Nessa Tieg, and is fascinated by the fresh green beauty of the country. She wanders out at twilight and loses her way among the woods and hills, where she is found and brought back to her grandmother's cottage by Aengus, a young peasant whose admiration for the beautiful girl is at once aroused. As Oonah talks lovingly with old Nessa, the grand- mother suddenly spies a spray of roses in the girl's hair, and, because of its superstitious associations with the powers of evil, commands her to throw it out of doors. The child. ignorant of the superstitious of the country-folk. obeys in fright. but while outside the house hears faery voices telling of a great choice she is to make that night, and hides a single twig of the thorn in her bosom. That evening Nessa's neighbors, the lads and lassies of the countryside, gather to bid Oonah welcome and in the midst of the dances and merry-making Aileel, a wandering poet, enters and at once falls in love with the beautiful girl. A contest for her affection immediately arises between Aengus and Aileel, Oonah calls upon the little thorn-flower for guidance, and chooses Aengus. while .Xileel goes away broken-hearted. The second act opens with Oonah sitting alone in old Nessa's cottage. The grand- mother has died, Aengus has gone far away to win a fortune for Uonah. and a dreary famine is over all the land. Presently Aileel comes in and again pleads for her hand. and upon her refusal, the lonely musician wanders away in grief, leaving Oonah troubled for his sorrow but still true to Aengus. Kathleen now steps in to give the glad news that she has just seen Aengus coming over the hill. How Uonah flies about. preparing from her frugal store a repast for her lover's welcome! NORMALOGUE After the joyful meeting, Aengus disappointedly tells Oonah that he has returned with- out the fortune he hoped to earn, and cannot wed her without it. Oonah protests that he has not a good reason, urges that they live in her house, and pleads with him to take her to the priest for the marriage, while Aengus insists that with nothing but his love to give, he will never wed her. Thereupon Oonah, in a sudden outburst of grief, declares that he does not love her and calls upon the faery-folk to take her away. At her summons a beautiful faery child dancing and scattering primroses, enters to bear her away. At this point Aileel appears, persuades the faery to take him in Oonah's stead, and give him but one hour in which to see Oonah and Aengus happily married. He then sends the lovers to Father Brian who performs the marriage ceremony, after which they return to old Nessa's cottage to find Aengus' empty pouch full of gold and the frugal repast prepared for Aengus changed to a wedding feast. Neighbors bring their gifts and the wedding celebration follows in which Oonah dances with poor Aileel who is soon claimed and carried away by the faery-folk, and the curtain falls, leaving the joyous group happy ever afterf, No one can touch ever so lightly the old traditions of Ireland without falling under the sway of their magic, and a loving study of many of the old tales went into the making of the story of Oonah, Aengus and Aileelf' rafifi LTLZ?-if 3122?

NORMALOGUE Girls, do you hear that strain again? How often it has rung thru the school and you hurried with your music to the hall! Then Bliss Searle took us up and down by thirds until we found our voices. So twice a week we faithfully assembled and spent our time and effort to make the concert a memorable one. At Christmas time some of the members assisted in an entertainment given at Stamford, Vermont and a jolly time was reported. On the evening of March 8th, assisted by Mrs. ltlarshallis stringed quartet, we entertained our friends with the results of our rehearsals. Dinah was our favorite number, though it was with effort that we expressed its feeling of sentimentality. Be- sides we had to learn to hum like the lNIoths and the Smith of Love presented some difficult parts. The last half of the program was a cantata, The Sleighing Frolic , when individual ability was shown in solosg and the sextette, which was a novel feature, we sang with all the appreciation for fun and merry making in our New England winter. The concert was considered a success and we were pleased with the interest shown in our musical achievements. But our singing did not cease with the concert. Two weeks later we assisted in an entertainment given at the Baptist Church in Vililliamstown when Shoogy Shoo was given by request. Here the pitch pipe was brought into use, much to the amuse- ment of our audience while we were trembling lest we should fail to catch the tone. After the concert we were deliciously entertained at the home of Esther Neal and all too soon it was time to take the electric back to North Adams. On the car we gave other concert impromptu as there were no other passengers to object. This time we took our pitch from the motorman. Although very little has been said about finance in the club yet it should be known that the record this year is a credit to us. After paying the debt left over from last year and our own expenses there were still a few cents left in the treasury. To Miss Searle we owe our hearty thanks for her generous thought and attention which will mean more and more to us as the years roll on. As it is said, Music hath charmsn and we all agree that the Glee Club has helped to make our last year at Normal more cheerful and happy. A. lllarguerite Williams f tzefi 53.322233 Q 2-5 1- ' N S f. 0 I , 5 4 R MH L ET 1 C S '6For it's always fair weather When Normalites get together. O you remember the first day in the gym? It was with difficulty that we recog- B nized one another in our new harems, minus the high heels. Canit you feel your heels thumping on the floor in the sneaks? WVe started right away to acquire some of the energetic spirit such as actuated the Amazon maidens, and although We did not reach the sublime heights of beauty that they acquired, yet we soared rather high at times when we climbed to the ceiling in triumph, over rugged pathways of ropes and ladders, practising for such twentieth century arts as hanging votes for women from the middle of the ceiling, and handing pans of fudge out of the high gym windows. etc. Before our Senior year was completed our ability was wonderful to behold. lVe could shinny up and down all the ropes and vertical ladders and through horizontal ones with such ease, enjoyment and speed as would make our monkey-ancestors in the dim far-away past green with envy, while traveling across the bar, chinning' ' the bar, and turning somersaults over it were easy stunts. If you wish to know about the standing positions, such as wing standing position, consult Bess Gallagher. She will direct you to Bliss Skeele's office where you will find a picture of that saintly posi- tion, said picture mysteriously appeared on the bulletin board in the gym one day, and Bliss Skeele has framed it as a model for future hopefuls, to gaze upon, and as a lasting memory of the heavenly aspirations of our class of 1912. Do you remember those nice walks we used to take last fall? We had our choice of going to the Five Roads, Windsor Lake, Natural Bridge, Wlitts Ledge, the Tunnel. a few miles towards Adams, wVilli3l11St0W'I1, Houghtonville, etc. Did I hear you ask if the Richmond Theatre was on the list? Sh! No matter in what direction we went, the home run was always toward a baker's shop or a candy kitchen where we could get a feed. NORMALOCUE Elizabeth O'Connor favored us with a Dutch jig one afternoon with bloomers to the ankles and real wooden shoes. If you went to the Hallowe'en party, you saw the classy Yama Yama dance given by a crowd of girls trained by Ethel Davis. Of all the dances from Up and Down the Dllerry Row to The Shepherd's Dance and St. Pat- rick's, the Carousal is the favorite. There is always a grand scramble for the gentlemen in the Grand lilarch. VVe have no Turkey Trot, but we could tell you all about the Frog Hop. There is no dance quite equal to the Ox Dance for real good fun in pulling hair, slapping faces and a few other effeminate tricks. Any color so long as it's red is the color that suits me best.', ,, See here, now, I want those red markers myself: you had them last week. These and a few others were the remarks that might be heard at about quarter of four lNIonday or VVednesday afternoons when the practice games of basket-ball began. The reason is easily seen when the game is over, for it is the team that managed to get the red markers that is celebrating and waiting for prizes, while the other team makes one grand rush for the shower-baths. The prizes, very kindly offered by Bliss Skeele to the winning team, were pictures. There were some girls in the class who gain their pictures down street, or else prefer to view the purple hills of Paradise as seen on a stroll around the F lat-Iron. One eventful evening found the Juniors 1919 lined up against the Seniors 1911 for the annual Senior-Junior basket-ball game. VVhat could we hope to do against such giants in height and strength as Jo Tumpane or Peg ltlaloney? Indeed it was with a queer combination of quaking knees and eyes full of determination that we be- gan the struggle. VVhat advantage we lost in size, we made up in speed. The odds were somewhat against us in the first half, but true to our motto We are never beaten till the whistle blows, ,' we never lost hope, and when the whistle did blow, we had won by the scanty margin of one point. One of the best things in this world is that though you may lose everything that is dear to you, you need never lose hope. It is the only thing on earth that is immortal. Other easy games such as stationary basket ball and end ball were won by the Seniors, who, as we know, were very athletic.', The parodies sung by our classmates did much to encourage us. One was as follows: 191Q, 1912 1Ve are the Juniors 1912 If you don't watch out 1Ve'll catch you without a doubt And we will Maybe we've laid a clever snare Ready to catch you unaware So run away Seniors Here come the Juniors 1919 NORlXt'I.fXl.OG ll li ,Q - 'igaakrihall I URING the Senior year, the basket ball girls organized themselves into two B teams known as the Elizabeths and the S. J.'s electing Elizabeth Roach and Margaret Murray captains. The Elizabeth team received its name from the fact that the first name of every girl on the team was Elizabeth. The S. J.'s stands for the Sarah Janes, who unfortunately UD have not that for their real names. These two teams played a series of three games to which our friends were admitted and the pro- ceeds were added to the class book fund. The first game was very exciting, as the score was continually being tied until the final whistle blew with the victory gained by the S. J.'s. The line up: S. J.

O'Brien. tshot in Elizabeths' basketj Allen. Fouls, S. Jis. 3, Elizabeths 1. A peculiar style of game was played wherein each team was restricted to three- fourths of the floor. Some of the important rules of this style of game that the goal for each team is changed after every basket shot though the players do not change sides: fouls count 1 point for the other team, without interrupting the game for free tries ex- cept in case of exceptional rouglmess. Thus fine all around players were developed without the fatigue of the boys' all-over-the-floor game. Indeed, Miss Skeele has told us that we have the finest teams that have ever been organized in the Normal. and the best games ever played there. Oh, there is nothing like practice! Other games such as Stationary Basket Ball, Double Goal. End Ball. Dodge Ball. etc. were enjoyed. Dances, including the ox-dance, were given. An interesting feature of one of the evenings of this series of games was an obstacle race. which in- cluded basket shooting, travelling across stall-bars. jumping over stools and ropes and even a somerset. The encouraging cheers and impromptu parades from the side lines added much to the general fun. Some of the parades are as follows: BASKETBALL TEAM NORMALOGUIS Suffragettes at Normal! Votes for lVomen! Women Suffrage! The gymnasium was trimmed with large posters of Votes for VVomen and a mascot dressed in green and purple, otherwise recognized as Odna hlonat, ushered the visitors to their seats. There were both Juniors and Seniors on each team. The program included Basket Ball, Stationary Ball, End Ball, and Dances, among which were St. Patrick's and the Irish Lilt. In accordance with the general suffragette movement in this country, the suffragettes did not win. That is Cnot gette Cyetj. The Anti-Suffragettes gained 34 points in all, while the SuHragettes secured only 23. The Basket Ball line-up was as follows, Anti-Suffragettes Suffragettes Allen Blanchard O 'Brien Hanley Tower Roach N orcott Hawkins Brown Loomis Gelinas O 'Shea Score, Anti-Suffragettes 8, Suffragettes 5.

Besides the amount of pleasure derived from our games, we feel that we have received a great deal of benefit from our athletic training. VVe wish to take this oppor- tunity to thank Miss Skeele for the many hours of help she so willingly gave us outside of school hours. VVe feel inspired to enter into the athletics of our future pupils by her excellent example of cheerfulness and enthusiasm.

The some-what dismal at- mosphere was not at all cheered in the chaos of the Hoosac Tunnel. Arriving at North Adams depot in a rainfall not unlike a cloudburst we, after exercising our vocal powers to the utmost, at last succeeded in arousing a Rip Van VVinkle of a cab driver who after due deliberation drove us to our destination. The imposing edifice which we beheld was only in the guise of a Sing Sing for once within its doors we could easily say- 'Better to be on the outside looking in than on the inside looking out. At dinner we were presented to a number of gentle looking dames, who inspected us from head to foot and then nodded approval or disapproval to the fast gathering multitude. Much to our chagrin we were even made to leave the dining hall in file like prisoners going from rations. The faculty specified such limits as they saw fit to sanction and much to our dis- may lV1'IIian1stm1'r1 was to be boycotted by us. Study hour soon passed but we were in the midst of our festivities when the monitor appeared and we were driven to our rooms like sheep. Next morning at Assembly we werc quite overcome by the condescending manner in which we were greeted by the stately Seniors, who requested us to occupy front seats while they were to enjoy the back ones. Our first assignment of lessons phased us entirely for beside not knowing what was expected of us neither could we distinguish the different subjects. Thus the first day passed but with longing eyes we anxiously awaited the development which Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings would bring forth. But alas! our hopes were soon dashed to earth for restrictions galore were placed upon us. This. however, did not eliminate the joy of our first free evenings when we all attended moving pictures at both the Empire and the Richmond. Saturday evening some of our shy classmates wit- nessed for the first time these demoralizing kind of pictures which dance on paper. CAnd there were some of our charming classmates who thought they had enjoyed enough of the feminine society for one whole week and that they would prefer a little masculinity for a change. And even up to the present time that is their weekly recreation.D In the schoolroom the coyness of some of our classmates was indeed noticeable. Some of them had broad grins on their faces whenever they chanced to meet a Senior or a teacher fearing that if they didn't smile they might be expelled.

It 's worse than stealing. 6 Be original, use your own ideas but in the end mine are best. '7 Keep your eyes open to nature. Observe the number of the chickens toes, the violet haze on the mountains, and the little things in the world. 8 Think along straight lines and cut along straight lines. 9 Do not hang your handkerchiefs up to dry on the window panes. It pre- sents one white blotch, which is annoying to passerbys, and is very inartistic in effect. 10 Do not hang college banners on your walls. The colors are usually unhar- monious and barbarous. It is only a silly college girl craze anyhow. . We must learn to be practical. 11 Do so and so, and so and so. Some practical advice contributed by Miss Searle. Be brief and to the point. Be business like. Think along straight lines. You can never tell when I'm coming. Go out into the streets and get your ideas. Keep your eyes open. Always keep Florida Mountain in mind, as a good example of a rural school. Be sure to demand the authority for all statements made. A very helpful question is How do you know?

It would be well to add, Beware of the mud holes. The seniors seem to have accomplished both feats. They have kept their heads in the clouds and when they did see mud holes ahead they climbed the fences and walked around, cleverly avoiding the pitfalls. Even if we have not had the cleverness, brains and ability, so characteristic of the seniors, We have learned more than one valuable thing from them during our sojourn at the Normal School and who can say that we have not profited most by their great ability to borrow? The following conversation was overheard in the hall last week. After two Juniors had exchanged the usual morning greetings, one remarked, Where's my pencil? Jo Tumpane has that. Well, where 's my ruler? Katherine Healey borrowed that. Where's my eraser? Nellie Murphy has that. Who took my pen? Agnes Murphy wanted to use it for a minute. Well, I'm glad my head is fastened on, or I might come in some morning and find someone using that. ' However, we have received other valuable hints from the Seniors. For instance:- Lives of Seniors oft remind us, How to be most wondrous kind, And departing leave behind us Notebooks for some weaker mind. Notebooks that perhaps some junior, Struggling on with might and main Sore distressed and out of humor Finding, shall take heart again. We accept the just and flattering recommendations of the teachers, so thought- fully given us by the Seniors. The recommendations are exceedingly just, surpassingly frank, and, as we shall no doubt discover next year, alarmingly true. However, at this time, though the lips may laugh and joke, there is an under- current of sadness for the time of parting is near. The Junior class accepts the privi- leges, honors and duties bequeathed to them by the Senior class. Though the parting breaks up our relations as Senior and Junior classes in the Normal School it does not change our feeling towards each other, and even time itself, cannot efface the memories of the good times we've had. As we separate to go to our various duties and pleas- ures, let us carry with us these inspiring lines: Let us then be up and doing, With a heart for any fate, Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait. -Esther Neal N0 R M A LOGU li fl ihnight Svprrail .Inst a spread at midnight, YYhen the lights are out, And the ghostly shadows Quickly come and go.

Uh, will we ever forget those midnight spreads? YYhat pleasant memories they bring to our minds, what a lot of scheming and planning, stealing and dodging? And what if the teacher at the foot of the stairs keeps her light on way into the wee sma' hours of the morning , keeping us in suspense and tempting us to throw black hand letters in through the open transom? Is it not worth all the fear and trembling to sit on the floor in the light of the frosty moon, and munch chicken bones and pickles? And what though the watchman did see us dressed up in outdoor garments, and is it small wonder that he thought we were trying to elope? And the years may come.

Five Seniors are gather together in one of the student 's rooms, preparing a gram- mar lesson. Une diligent pupil, who by the way is the only one in the company who has thought to copy the grammar sentences, is faithfully reading the sentence for the benefit of the others. She reads- The kingfisher sat on a fence looking outjover the water. Suddenly a loud train whistle breaks in on the silence. 0h! hear that whistle , cries one young lady. Makes me feel homesick . sighs another. My mother says it is a sign of rain , says a third. And one other who has tried to keep an ear on the lesson, yawns out from the depths of a sofa pillow, Say, what was that fellow on the fence fishing for? Oh, fishing for dates cries the disgusted student throwing down the book and tossing a handful of candy kisses at the amused company. And in another moment the girls were munching candy and busily chatting, all thoughts of king fishers and grammar sentences being far from their happy minds.

Is it not fitting that we should record them, r 1 ' J lhat memories may not dief Not many months ago. a group of girls thoughtless, giddy and gay. High School maidens. still irresponsible gigglers, came to these spacious halls. Examinations made no impression on them, so busy were they in sizing up their fellow students. Geom- etry constituted our introduction to Normal studies and to the amazement of High School Geometry students. Bliss Searle gave the command. 0bserve house forms and compare them to solidsn. Soon neighbors. friends and strangers were amazed to hear girls as they strolled along exclaim excitedly. That's the first square prism Ilve seen! Look at that triangular pris1n! Is it right or equilateral? I'll have to put that on my list. Music brought many of us to our YVaterloos . VVhen we had learned Little Gipsy Dandelion by rote, one girl representing the farmer and one the dandelion. had to sing and act a pretty duet. Many a laugh we raised afterward when we reached the noble height of singing time exercises to the class. l pass from the realms of lNIath and music to the Science department, ruled with an iron hand by lNIr. Guss. Every day armed with bottle, hammer, and basket. we trooped forth, pouring acid on every rock in sight, just for the joy of seeing it fiz . Then came the memorable tVest Shaft trip. Armed with all our contraptions for tests. weighed down by rubbers and umbrellas, we followed in Mr. Guss's wake, walking the track like professional hoboes . Then woe of woes, when we reached the tunnel, the rain began to descend. Smoke begrimed our faces, rain streaked them. Disconsolate groups crawled over fences, climbed over boulders and, after seeing all there was to be seen, ran madly for the first car into North Adams. To give the class dignity, we now organized and chose Nick for our president, the duties of which office she has faithfully performed, to this day. The Seniors now pitying our unfamiliarity with other Normalites, tendered us a reception at which we were formally introduced to each other and to our instructors. , Q Ku A 5, Y , - ' . . - , - - .--i!....i N Ro E'fanp.i:7h 1-i-1E'VW .a-w .- . ..-.--:--- I----.

Great was their delight when our country dancers walked in backwards and favored us with a reel. But the Yama Yama dance was the crowning success of the evening. Next Mr. Guss sent us into transports by describing with harrowing minuteness a trip to the Arnold Print works and the Gas and Electric Plant, which was to be taken all in one afternoon. VVhen in the dye room, tears rolled down our cheeks, the men unsympathetically told us we'd get used to it after a while. VVhen We reached the dynamo room we sat down to rest. But oh! could we find a worse place for the weary? In drawing we were informed that everyone should strive for an artistic effect. Bright striking colors are all very well in nature but people, especially young ladies who are aiming to be teachers. should wear grayed colors that harmonize with their complexion and hair. Later on we a were introduced to new and startling kind of Arithmetic. If a girl is the measurer, what is this? asked one student holding up a yard stick. lNIany and stringent were the chapel lectures, delivered in Mr. lVIurdock's im- pressive way, on what to wear and how to wear it, coming from Taconic Hall to the Nor- mal School. About this time the Seniors. thinking we must be having a dull time challenged us to games in the gym . Great was the consternation when Babe,' pulled Joe's hair, with a long and vigorous tug. Of course it is understood that we came out of the games covered with glory-and bruises. Other social events of the season were the Glee Club Concert and the fascinating lectures by Seumas McMannus. Chemistry came to us soon with its attendant investigations in the form of another trip, this time to the Iron Foundry. Upon arriving there, after jumping the track and getting our shoes filled with cinders, we heard squeals issuing from one end of the foun- dry. It proved that some of the girls had seen the huge dipper of hot iron coming their way and had given vent to their feelings as only girls can. VVhen spring arrived she found us waiting, loaded with forks and rakes, and string and stakes, wending our weary and muddy way about the garden. Old residents gave us only a passing glance, but new coiners gazed open-mouthed and finally gasped in amaze- ment. Are those girls digging worms for bait? Oh, no, the older residents assured them. they're only the normal students making their gardens. As the days went on, such conversations as the following were frequent. But, Mr. Guss. I know I planted peas, and planted them right under that string. You know you did? Hin! VVell, seeds never tell lies. It's better not to know so much than to know so much that isn't so! April nineteenth. a blessed holiday, brought our banquet with it. Such songs and laughter! Such jolly toasts, especially on Quarter After and lNIr. Guss's Trips. Of course .fudge parties and shrimp wiggles were in vogue and both the fudges and the wiggles suffered, but girls must be girls. In reading that term we surpassed all former efforts in any line of work. W'e began at the baby class with counting in fives. However we soon graduated NORMALOGUE and arrived at the stage were we could cry in plaintive tones-ma, ma ma ma. ma ma ma, ma, MA, MA-! Our next lessons made us so well acquainted with inflection that we could cry in tones either harrowing or full of satisfaction,-ga, ge, ga, go, goo? ga, ge, ga, go, goo, oo-Z Thus was our advance in reading marked by regular changes, until finally we began on fables. A person, pausing at the door, would have been startled at hearing such extraordinary remarks as- Bliss Allen is the mouse , Miss Cassidy is the lion , or The whole class is the pack of dogs . But there was really nothing to fear for we were only acting innocent fables. The Senior play found us ready with posters, descriptive and picturesque and we knew the Seniors appreciated all our efforts in the artistic line. Then came commencement with all its frills. The painful labor on the daisy chain still clings persistently in the memory of the faithful few. In the addresses to us, the Seniors infested us with terror of the coming Psychology and horror of The Destiny of Man. VVe, Juniors, ushered and sang, served refreshments and above all looked as pleasant as possible. Class Day, with its regular exercises, its outdoor reception and class play, and Commencement with its graduation, alumnae banquet and reception, left us weary but unmistakable Seniors. Senior year welcomed back nearly all the girls, tho a few deserted our ranks. Mr. Guss immediately made us reacquainted with our gardens, which we visited on botanical trips, and for the purpose of obtaining caterpillars, though hir. Guss had to remind us constantly that they were not bugs and were not worms, just 'cbaby butter- flies . Shall we ever forget the trip to Brigg's Farm? No one ever saw a more dis- heartening sight than fifty girls, among a lot of cabbage heads, vainly trying to protect themselves with umbrellas from the pouring rain and frequently being urged to, Step a little livlier, young ladies , Fill in the gaps . Nevertheless there was one bright spot on that trip and that was the cider mill. We all agreed that nothing had ever tasted as good as that cider did then. Mr. Bowen took us to the polls early in the year, in the lVIark Hopkins School, where we peeked into the ballot boxes, examined the ballots and listened to a lecture on voting. Finally a courageous girl asked, May I have a ballot? Are you a suffragette? demanded the man. No! , was the indignant response. Well, we only give ballots to voters , was the laughing reply. Grammar was a tremendous stumbling block and it took many struggles to firmly install in our minds the fact that an idea is a mental picture . Authoris books filled all our spare time and every month great was the scramble to Hnd what our marks were. We read Dickens and many a girl would fear to tell how much midnight oil for electricityl has been burned to complete the reading. The yearly lectures on proper wearing apparel between Taconic Hall and Normal school were duly received and only Mr. Murdock knows how much good they did. Dir. Bowen struck terror to our hearts daily for a lengthy time by demanding the drawing of certain circles on the board. Trade winds and monsoons filled our dreams, and we had a regular diet on storm centers and the movements thereof. The Seniors tendered their usual reception to the Juniors after which the Juniors NORMALOGUE entertained us at a novel hair-raising, blood-curdling Hallowe'en party, where they passed delectable pieces of boiled macaroni from hand to hand thru dark corridors. Later we had a frolic in the gym, beginning with a Grand March an ending with a naming contest. Many were the names we learned for the occasion only to forget them a few days later. Soon after this the Faculty delighted us with their clever and entertaining play, A Model Rural Schoolu. VVe did not know they could be so jolly and we found they knew their own weaknesses and peculiarities even better than we do. VVhat shall I say of the terrors of teaching! How our knees shook on the days of the first attempts! But we'll dwell on that mournful subject no longer. As we were following in lNIr. Guss's wake on that memorable trip to the Poultry Show, we overheard the following:- One street boy- Say where did all them girls come from? Answer- Don't youse know? You should tell 'em cause they're trailing along after Mr. Guss. He's taking them Normal Students to the poultry show, to show 'ern the difference between a hen and a roosterf' Mr. Guss also took us to the town farm where we made the acquaintance of the Holstein cows, also of Mr. Stark, who, to quote our teacher, stuck up for his cows. Barns and cows are interesting enough but why do lNIr. Gussis trips always come on days when it is necessary for him to say, VVear your rubbers, young ladies, and take your umbrellas for the weather looks threatening. A shadow, deep and dark, fell across the brightness of our Senior year. In Jan- uary, the loss of our beloved lNIr. Bowen, a loss which we know can never be fully re- placed, shrouded the school in gloom. The new term came with a change of subjects. Literature filled our minds with short stories, essays and fables. VVe even tried to originate some creditable work, how creditable we trust lNIiss Baright will never tell. In geography Mr. Murdock gave us the most awful cross sections I've ever experienced and I'm sure we'll never look at North America again without seeing the side view. Psychology arrived and proved to be all the Seniors of last year had predicted. To this day many a perplexed girl asks herself the question. Am I an ape or am I not an ape?,' and, If Iim an ape, why don't I run around like my relations? The social events have been many and interesting this year. The Glee Club Concert was held as usual. But the events dearest to Senior hearts were those exciting basket ball games between the Elizabeths and the Sarah Janesn. Another evening equally exciting occurred between the Suffragettes and the Anti-Suffragettesn. VVe're glad the Suffragettes use basket ball as a medium of expression instead of apeing their English sisters in a campaign of window-breaking. Commencement days are still to come when forth we'll go to wage our battles with the world. Two fruitful years are past and gone YVe've had our work and pleasureg Wie-'ll pay our lNIater's kindness back In very fullest measure. -Esther Neal IAI. 'ni' cf ' -fi Y3 ifi F 1 ' -' 1A , . . . . .

In far off Athens, where a friend and I were spending the summer months of the year 1995, we were walking one day in a certain section which had at one time been one of the most flourishing parts of the city. It was a complete mass of ruins exposed to the gaze of the passers-by. VVe thought we would look thru the ruins with the hopes of finding some inter- esting souvenir. It was after almost an hour of searching that we discovered an old stone pillar which seemed to have recently been rolled from its former position. Di- rectly beside the somewhat massive column we found an old, slightly battered Grecian lamp. After removing as much of the clinging earth as we conveniently could, we took it home. VVe spent a large part of the evening in cleaning and burnishing the lamp, which we afterwards found to be in quite good repair. During this process we had. in some way loosened the cap which allowed the oil to slowly ooze down the side of the lamp. Noticing this we attempted to light it, which, after much difficulty we succeeded in doing. The tiny flame flickered for some moments and reddish fumes arose, filling the room with a strange, peculiar odor. Suddenly an odd form took shape within the smoke and a weird voice cried, you have called me, what am I do to? 1Ve were speechless with astonishment and wonder, not realizing what had hap- pened. VVhile working with the lamp we had been discussing our school days at Normal. No doubt it was because of this that I answered the unknown voice so quickly with the words, Reveal what my classmates are doing. Almost instantly it began in clear. distinct tones: Being forced to obey you,I will do so. You will find your class president, Frances Nickerson industriously carrying on the work of Carrie Nation only she attacks the nickel-theatres, familiraly known to the class of 1912 as the M. P. S. Her excellent arguments are the result of training procured in the grammar class. I NORMALOGUE Your Vice-president, -I here interrupted with the words, I a.m acquainted with her occupation, so kindly omit itf' The face of the phantom seemed wreathed in smiles and it continued,- Having settled near the capitol in VVashington, D. C. your corresponding secretary, Elsie Parsons, no longer has need of corresponding as her chief interests are within the city. The spectre hesitated and I quickly asked, What work is the recording secretary pursuing? Instantly came the words,- Hannah Lawless owns a large fish-market in Shelburne Falls, her interests, however are somewhat divided as she also has charge of an orphan asylum in Amherst. She expects to retire from the latter work and has even now sent in her resignation to take effect in December. By following lNIolly VVood in The Virginiansu you will know what work the treasurer, Elizabeth..O'Connor carries out. She, however, intends to return to North Adams, instead of Vermont. Of whom shall I now speak?', questioned the mysterious voice. Pray, select whom you choose , I replied, and the voice continued. I will do as you say. Travel- ing abroad, investigating the different schools you may see Gertrude Dudley and her assistant Marguerite McMahon who enjoys her work immensely. A large and suc- cessful sewing school has just been established in Framingham by lVIargaret Allen. It is not probable, however, that she will continue this work for any great length of time. Her friend, Marion Weld continues her work in teaching and intends to open a summer school for boys soon. At this, the room became dark and instead of the apparition I seemed to see a tiny laboratory in which lightning flashed so vividly as to considerably frighten me. Gazing excitedly into the fumes above the glowing lamp I could dimly discern the slight figure of a woman with what I afterwards thought to be a tiny coil of wire in her hand, standing near a table in the laboratory. I stepped forward to see more clearly when the vision vanished and in its place the former phantom slowly became visible. Again the clear words came, saying, I have pictured to you the work of chaining lightning which is being carried on by Esther Chain, who received her inspiration from Franklin. The room was again bright and the lightning flashes no longer occurred. Then the spectre hesitated, smilingly and continued:- Mary Doolittle now travelling abroad, sailed two months ago on the steamship Tech , named after its inventor who ac- companies her. On the stage in North Adams you will End Ruth Dunton, now known as Rosalie Williams. Bernice Davis has recently taken up the art of hair-dressing, however, she receives no customers between nine and nine-thirty in the morning. One of the VVil- liamstown girls, Bessie Fallon delights in giving dancing lessons and is very happy in her work. These last words seemed to die in the distance and there in its place I see-can it be possible! Yes, it is Katherine Burt. Listen, what is it she is saying? Slowly I lean forward and hear the words, Of course, as you know, in all my lecturing work I, as a rule speak of the great advantages of living in Vermont but to n- , the words no longer broke upon my ear and my friend was no longer visible. Even had I not seen the face I would have known to whom the quiet voice belonged, and from whom such words would be expected. NORMALOGUE As the form of the speaker disappeared, the apparition became visible, and slowly continued with the Words:- Ethel Davis, now at the head of the Domestic Science department in Pratt Institute makes a very successful teacher. On Ashland Street, North Adams, stands a large hotel, the owners, Margaret Murray and Jennie Freehoffer making a specialty of entertaining transients, as many pass thru that district. A new book which proves to be a splendid one on the subject of psychology has recently been published by Anna Churchill. A girl with much literary ability and thoroughly skilled in the art of painting was Bess Gallagher who still pursues these lines of work in Venice. M Upon hearing these words I cried excitedly to my companion, We must make her a visit as she is so near. ' At these words the calm voice said, almost impatiently 6'lNIake no unnecessary interruptions, I did not imagine your class to be so large when I undertook to do your bidding. Again he began z- You will End missionary work being carried on in Africa by Elizabeth Blanchard, Cora Coffil, Flora Oakes, and lllargaret Tower who take up each day of labor, eagerly and conscientiously. Recently in a beautiful Boston suburb a public school has been erected Where Beatrice Gelinas and Elizabeth Roach have charge of the gymnasium work in the insti- tution. Carrie Topping has accepted the principalship of a kindergarten. She is very particular that the teachers under h r jurisdiction tell original fables to the children. Eva Thompson and Ruth Sheldon are going into a thorough study f the devel- opment of the child and are also doing much good in charitable work among the poorer classes in New York City. Located in a co-ed school dormitory in Jacksonville, Florida, you will find Mary Connors filling the position of matron. This work is apparently pleasing to Mary. One who, when in Normal School so much enjoyed design work, is taking up this work in France. You will doubtless guess, and rightly, it is Lucy Sparrow. At this point the spectre solemnly pointed toward a window at its right and said, Over, in Berlin, at the head of a large glee club in a famous old university you may find Marguerite Williams with her assistant Rose Stone. Far away on the great continent of South America, in Ecuador, Marion Miller carries on a great work along the line of Manual Arts. Then travelling northward to- ward the Taconic range in North America you will find on beautiful lNIt. Everett a Domestic Arts School, governed by Elizabeth O'Hern. The following verse which her children sing will reveal to you its name. In the glory of Everett's site There stands a favorite school far famed It is called the Normal Light By Miss O'Hern so named. Elizabeth enjoys her Work and, it is said, her only regret is that only girls desire to know how to cook. The spectre suddenly placed its white hands over its ears and cried, Even now can I hear the cries of Votes for VVomen and VVoman,s Suffrage as Carrie Harvey and Ruby Budd arouse the country with their woman suffrage lectures. NORMALOGUE The speaker had vanished at these words so quickly and completely that I feared he would not return. Suddenly I heard a voice, a wonderful voice pealing forth a melody almost divine, but slowly and much to my disappointment it gradually died away. Then again returned the now familiar tones of our visitor declaring, That was the voice of Odna lNIonat, now a famous grand opera singer. CEvidently her voice was not injured by her many cries of Less noise, girls and Lights out! j The patient but very tired voice went on, Ella lNIcCarthy and Bess Kiley who have jointly purchased a Packard touring car, are living now in Newport, occasionally visiting Atlantic City. Ruth Loomis and Gladys Little are about to open a Young Ladies Seminary. Ruth favors WVilliamstown for a location but Gladys is as yet unable to decide definitely. Esther Neal expects to have charge of the elocution department in this institution. Mabel Wlilliams and Teen O'Brien are at present taking what they call a year of recre- ation and you may be assured they are having an enjoyable time. On a large sheep ranch in Wfyoming you will find Ruth Lyman and Kathleen lNIarsh whose work is very appropriate as they were meek as lambs at Normal. Jennie Rudnick, noted for her great physical strength and splendid health has accepted a position as physical instructor in a Kansas Normal. Grace McKay as a result of her political interests was elected mayor of Adams, her native town. In the same town Evelyn Kay who was always fond of the male element fills the office of postmistress. Conducting trolley excursions thru the United States you may see Sadie Harris while in this very city of Athens may be found Eleanor Bonnar continuing her study in art. And travelling thru the sunny southern states of North America Ruth Brown performs earnestly her several duties as governess. The lamp, at these words was noticed to flicker, the Hallie grew dim and I feared it would die out entirely but it still burned although quite dimly. The vision of the fumes said quietly, The numbers of the class now are few and it is well it is so, for I can remain but a short time. Speaking thus, it, for the last time, hurriedly began, Nellie Norris recently accepted a position to settle down in East Hampton. She taught successfully for two years but will doubtless prove a pleasant home-maker. Elizabeth O'Shea works industriously giving music lessons while Margaret lNIcCann your class violinist succeeds in making many happy and her- self famous by her violin and piano recitals. Delia Boland whom the class left as a committee of one to greet and entertain for the month of September each year every entering class at Normal, still carries on her work faithfully. She always possessed the wonderful ability of making others happy as she herself was never otherwise. With the words, My task is completed, farewell , the accommodating apparition slowly vanished. As from a dream I gradually awoke, endeavored to collect my scattered thoughts and put into writing the wonderful words I had heard, and dear classmates, as near the conclusion of this record the following lines come to my mind. NORMALOGUE If perhaps these lines of mine Should not sound well in strangers' ears, They have only to bethink them It may happen so with theirsg For so long as words reveal some story Which the writer calls his own They will be most highly valued Wvhere theyire best and longest known. --May L.

After the payment of all the just debts of the members of our class and all the expenses incurred in connection with our graduation exercises, I bequeath and devise in the name of our beloved class as follows- To the Faculty All the records of our personalitiesg habits of manners and dress etc. hoping that they may be gentle reminders of days spent in faculty meetings when the aforesaid personalities were the interesting subjects of their conversations. Further, our deepest gratitude for the many efforts they made for our intellectual advancement. To Professor Guss The Elm-leaf Beetle and Brown Tail lVIoth exhibits prepared by our class, on condition that should these popular creatures follow any member of our class to their destined community that he shall send same exhibit to that member as a practical lesson on same, pay all express charges at this end. To the Training Teachers The right to pour upon the heads of our underclassmates all the Contents, Sources and Methods which they deem advisable. Also all the yellow blanks which bear the fruit of their labor providing that they show them only at such times as will be for our good. Lastly our appreciation for their helpfulness to us. To the Juniors NORMALUGUE This dignified title-Seniors. Our places as models for the new members of this school. The last rows of seats in the assembly for those who will wear the large fluffy bows over the left ear thereby retaining their youthful grandeur and being of less ob- struction to the faculty's view. To some of your members the duty of maintaining law and order at all times in the dormitory and the responsibility of seeing that the State electric light bill shall not be increased through carelessness. The privilege of electing a chairman for the Lunch Room for a term of one year providing she lives up to the teachings of the Sanitation Department. The duty of welcoming and guarding the next entering classwand revealing to them the mysterious ways of Normal life. In testimony whereof, I hereunto set my hand and in the presence of three wit- nesses declare this to be our last Will, this first day of April in the year one thousand nine hundred and twelve. Elizabeth V. O'Hern. On this first day of April A. D. 1919 Elizabeth V. 0'Hern of North Adams, Blass- achusetts, has signed the foregoing instrument in our presence declaring it to be the last will of her class and as witness thereof We three do now at her request and in her pres- ence and in the presence of each other, hereto subscribe our names. Mary Louise Baright Helen Van A. Schuyler F. F. hlurdock fdug tlbratinn I HE life of each individual is one great series of happenings, many of these ex- ' periences are trivial and easily forgotten, but among them there are scattered the precious few that are vital to us. To the class of 1912 this day marks the conclusion of one of these greatest eventsg one of those which together form the character and worth of our lives. And it is with regret we see it pass. The sadness of leaving experiences, familiar associations and friends can only be relieved by the pleasure gained by anticipation of greater things beyond which shall come as a result of our closer relationship with the outside world. As we leave and go our several Ways, there will be some who will remember us and there will be others who, in the rapid movement of time, will forget us. It should be so, it is the natural course of events that others will take our places and in turn reap the same benefits we have gained, therefore we wish to leave behind us something which in years to come, will speak for the class of 1912. The little delicate. beautiful. clinging ivy is symbolical of our spirit. As the ivy is transplanted in foreign ground there to grow and send out its small tendrils which 'f 5- 43:53 - 7 :yn-1--' -- --1,.....- ..,. - .. - ,. - - NORMALOGUE grope about to find a strong support upon which to cling and creep along, so we shall be transplanted, but strengthened by our previous experiences, will become strong until the growth is beautiful in its breadth. To those leaving, the ivy has another symbolic feature. The kind words, the self sacrificing acts, the patience and love of our instructors and teachers, shall seem to be the things of which the ivy tells us. It may have seemed that these things fell on stony ground, where they were lost and therefore have amounted to nothing. But seeds thus sown will surely spring up later on and blossom forth into beauty. So in planting the ivy our hope is that it may grow beautiful to adorn the walls we love, and within our hearts and souls we pray that our lives be kept as pure and beautiful as the modest vine. i -Elsie J.

'IT is only a bit of green ivy In the soil we've prepared with such care This plant we will tenderly place, Praying sun and rain to be kind And perfect its beauty and grace. Many hardships and storms will be needed To make it both strong and well grown, That the leaves be unfolded in beauty And cover the face of the stone. Ma.y this ivy not only grow upward Attaining a marvelous height, But branch and extend itself outward Renewing itself in the light. iNIay this plant with leaves of fresh green Cov'ring over the cold bare wall, Be a source of joy and beauty Giving pleasure to one and to all. NORMALOGUE Like the ivy, we've been transplanted In such various soils to grow, That we've had to adapt our natures To the new conditions they show.

And as we all go to our duties, Leaving you, our dear ivy, to grow, Adding daily a new bit of beauty To this building from which we must go May each carry a face that is cheerful And a brave and courageous heart, teachers lVhich throughout all the storms and the sunshine From its duty will never depart. -M. 4 Touer gif tC 5g.GZ6'2fpZZ '3MQfZk 23 -- i3 V --:- -' -, gis, NORMALOGUE Uhr lirgrnh nf Ihr Qlrhar Eirh 9' ONG, long ago when the world was very young, the people on earth were obliged M to labor continuously in order to cultivate the soil. But at this time there were one family known as the Cedar family who would not work because of fear of soiling the beautiful sheen and exquisitely blended tints of their costumes. These indolent people led a nomadic life here today, gone tomorrow and lived by taking food from their industrious neighbors. The neighbors called upon their patron goddess saying, Come to our aid and protect us from these people who will not work and who live by our labor. l' The goddess heard this cry came to earth, hastened to the Cedar family and touching them with her wand said, Henceforth you shall not be people for you are unworthy of the name but shall live as birds and be obliged to fly from place to place in search of food. No sooner were these words spoken than the Cedar people grew smaller and smaller, their clothes changed to plumage of many blended tints and they began their new life as Cedar birds. Even today nothing ever flusters or hurries these birds, their greatest concern is to make themselves as comfortable as possible and they live indolent and careless a life as formerly. -Nellie Norris mhg mr Maur Hinlrtz FTER the world was first made there were no flowers growing upon 't-just green, green grass where countless children played.
