J Friend she has proved herself to us in every sense of the word, aye more than friend,-guide, companion, helping il us through difficulties sharing the burdens, and joying in our ultimate success. , Valuable as have been her lessons as our instructor, her daily presence among us has been of even greater worthg her gracious manner, her unfailing courtesy, her kindly assistance and thc patience she has displayed for our shortcomings, all these beautiful and rare qualities have been and ever must, be, an inspiration and incentive for us in the years to come. Ripe in scholarship, trained in the foremost educational institu- tions of the country, lNIrs. Couch came to the position she now holds fifteen years ago and the larger and yet larger respect and esteem she has now from each succeeding class has proven her ably and well. She has succeeded in inculcating principles of right living and right, think- ing among her pupils. That she may long continue in her present. position, a helper and most gracious instructor, a model to future students as she has been to us in the past, is the earnest wish of the class of 1913. ,Von fca . l.

Learning to be satisfying and productive must. be led by hope, 11ot driven by fear. Teaching to be stimulating and effective must be ilnpelling, not compelling. p The learne-r's progress can be ensured only by opportunities to use his strong in- stincts and to adjust his personality to the social body. The teacherls success can be nicasured wisely only by the degree to which he becomes unnecessary to his pupils.

A - it 'li YVO years ago the custom of putting out a book representative of the Class of 1911 was instituted. lVe thank our precursor, 1911 for establishing the custom, and l9l2 for passing it down to us. lVe have accepted the trust and now pass it on the coming classes with our hearty approval. In issuing the NOFlll2LliJgll6,i we have striven to place before the class something which shows the true colors of 1913 and of our Alma Mater. YVe hope that, after graduation, as our paths diverge and we separate, this book will bring back many a fond memory of N. A. N. S., our teachers, and our classmates. May the friendships established during our stay here live long thru these pages. YVhen time tends to obliterate some of our pleasures here, the book will bring them back refreshed: when each and every member answers to the call of fame, they will still be one of our class: when we tend to drift apart, these beloved animals shall strengthen our bonds and unite us once more.

He is a graduate of the Indiana State Normal School, also of 1Vesleyan University, class of 1888, where he was a member of the Phi Beta Kappa and received his A. B. degree. He has attended several summer schools, in the summer of 1887, he studied zoology at lNIartha's Vineyard, and, in 1889, at 1Voods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory. In 1890 and 1891, he took field courses in Geology at the Harvard Summer School and other summer courses at Colorado College, Cook County Normal School, Illinois, University of Buffalo, Cornell University and hIassachusetts Agricultural College. He first taught in the district schools of Pennsylvania. Later, from 1888 to 1891, he taught at Wesleyan Academy and at the State Normal School, Greely, Colorado, until 1896, when he came to our Normal. He has had charge of the courses in hlineralogy, Chem- istry, Zoology, and Botany, in all of which he has insisted upon the practical application of our knowledge. R. Johnson came to us in 1912, and how we all appreciated the assistance he was ever ready to render, with the trials we encountered throughout our course of woodwork. Mr. Johnson has taken a course in Mechanical Engineer- ing at Lawrence Scientific School, Cambridge, lNIass. He has also taken summer courses in Theory at Hy- annis, and in mctal work and pattern making at Columbia Ivnivcrsity. For the past year he has been instructor in wood-work at Normal School and in forge work at 'l'raining School. NUR BIA LOGUE ll ling ill. Svmitly :FIRST impressions are lasting, so they say, and 'tis true in this case, for with a smile Mr. Smith greeted us on that Iirst day of our senior year, and with a smile he has dismissed us from his classes. A graduate of the Norwich high school and Norwich training school, he taught in the district schools of Kirk, South Plymouth, and others. The year 1904- saw him a graduate of the Syracuse University, taking an A. B. degree. Again we find him teaching as first vice-principal, and later as principal at Freeport, N. Y. and later at VVestfield, N. Y. Besides this he has done post graduate work in the teachers' college at Columbia University taking courses in History, Philosophy and Education. Since coming to North Adams he has taught History, Geography, History of Education and Economics, and has had charge of the school garden Work of the training school. iKuae E. L'-vearle ISS Searle, after graduating from YVesttield Normal School, took summer courses in music at Boston and Evanston, Ill. From 1897 to 1901 Bliss Searle taught in the eighth and ninth grades at hlark Hopkins, and since then she has been in charge of Mathematics and Music at the State Nor- mal School, North Adams, lNIass. Along with her teaching of music and mathematics v Bliss Searle gives us lessons in character forming, helping us to work faithfully and persistently, and to aim towards high ideals. W..

We owe much to Bliss Baright for her enthusiastic teaching of grammar, reading and literature. 13111155 lgvarann EHOL CH so Jog full3 anticipated in most respects, still the last term brought with it no little sorrow: for our course with Bliss Pearson was ended. Keenly have we missed that charming wit peculiar to our Art Department. Not only has Bliss Pearson added to our enjoyment of Nor- 111al but the Work of her department has laid the foundations for a keener appreciation of life wherever we are. Bliss Pearson graduated from Abbot Academy, Andover, Blass., the Glens Fall, N. Y. Summer School of Blethods, and the Normal Art School in Boston. She has taken summer courses at Harvard University, Rhode Island School of Design, Amherst Agricultural College, and other well known institutions. One winter, she studied at the Colarossi Academy, Paris and i11 the art galleries of England, France, and Italy. Since 1897 she has been the Art instructor at Normal. Bliss Pearson is a member of the Eastern Art and Blanual Training Teachers' Association and of the International Congress for the Development of Drawing and Art Teaclling.

I HE class of 1913 is most happily honored by having as one of its members a young lady of great dignity as well as exceeding ability in her studies. If at any time doubt was felt in regard to lessons for the next day, it was not at all unusual in order to find out what those lessons were, to make a call upon '6Gracie,' Where at the same time one would surely encounter several other delinquents bent upon the same errand. Miss Grace's abode proved a favorite rendezvous for such as these. MARGARET ELEANOR CARR, North Adams lNIass class and study America's greatest women ELAINE CECELIA CAYANAUGH, Lee, Mass. HE is small in stature, but is she small in mind? Indeed no! Ivhy, what questions can Mr. Murdock ask in Education, or hir. Smith in Geography which she cannot answer? All of this, in spite of the fact, that when you ask Elaine before school, what she knows about certain lessons, her reply invariably is, I do not know anything because I cannot. understand it. Then there is another line in which she excels. One should see her make the baskets from our gymnasium floor. Certainly, Elaine would fit in well anywhere. ES, that's Margaret.

I ERE is our jolly little Chappie,' who came from the town of 5 Washington to join our ranks. It is doubtless this fait which makes her enjoy Mr. Guss' classes so much and take such special delight in reading Government Bulletins. This may also account for her fondness for gym which she attends so regularly that it would scarcely seem like a gymnastic period Without her presence. Possibly it is only because she likes to go to Chapel that she visits Williamstown so frequently, but, Why did she choose the Domestic Arts Course? Once Chappie was one of our most fun loving members but since the first of January a decided change has taken place in her atti- tude toward life. I have been forbidden to mention the reason for this but will merely add that she often takes naps after school to make up for lost sleep.

Like all other birdies ours has a wonderful voice, having sung with great success before Washington audiences many a time. Is this not recommendation enough?

W7e were always sure of her being in the place Where she was most needed. W'hen she first entered Normal School her attention was much given to '4Art, that being an outside attraction as well as part of her course. ' Later she moved to Pittsfield where she became very much inter- ested in the basket ball games and especially the dances following the games. Now we find Nora's interests centered elsewhere. While in North Adams, Ke-lley was an intimate friend of hers and now she has found another Kelley in Pittsfield. VVhether the name or the weekly attendance at the Empire was the attraction is something which T you will have to learn from Nora herself. lVe will always remember Nora, as our ever ready helper in what- ever we needed herg and we wish her great success as she begins her new work. , E E. 0 l'vMf!!10fi.ll-e we E . . cc STELLA MARY HAXVKINS, South Shaftsbury, Vt.

Having taught before coming to Normal, she realized the impor- tance and difficulties of teaching and felt the need of special prepara- tion for this noble profession.

As it-isznow, we must he content to see her in private theatricals, doing love scenes with ardour that even Dorothy Dalton would envy. HAT dark girl with the pensive eyes? YVhy, that 's Lucille!

Yet we did not blame her in the least, and now we feel certain she will never teach long enough to obtain a pension. Rachel is a fond lover of ice-cream and one who seems to never tire of it.

The audience was delighted with the presentation of the pretty play, which is based on the Greek myth of Endymion and Artemus. It was entirely differ- ent from anything ever presented and was proclaimed the best given in recent years. The scenes showed the outskirts of a forest at the foot of Bit. Olympus. Phyrnia, with whom Endymion is in love, Eumenides, fri-end of Endymion, and his betrothed Kallisthene, are found in the forest surrounded by several Greek maidens and youths, enjoying an outing. Games are played and many pretty dances executed. Endymion arrives, but is notable to find Phyrnia, and tells his story of love to Eumenides, who then goes off to join the merry makers who have gone to the river bank. lVhile Endymion is sitting alone in the forest, Artemus, goddess of the chase, appears and falls in love with him, and when he refuses to give up his love for Phyrnia, she calls Blorpheus, God of Sleep, to weave a spell from which no one but she can waken him. ltleanwhile Hermes comes to Morpheus and has the charm changed so that Endymion now may be awakened by any one that will be willing to give his or her dearest possession. lNIorpheus weaves her spell and scatters poppies in a circle into which Endymion Walks and he falls into a heavy slumber. The merry makers returning to the forest find him, and Phyrnia, thinking he is dead, is unconsolable. Eumenides, rather than have his friend, Endymion, as a sacrifice to the goddess, offers Kallisthene, his betrothed and dearest possession, to the gods if they will restore Endymion. Meanwhile the spell is broken, Endymion is restored to Phyrnia and Artemus appears and proclaims her good will to Endymion and once more joins Eumenides and Kallisthene. The cast was drilled by Miss DI. L. Baright of the Normal faculty, while the dances were taught by Miss Grace Purcell. Miss Edna Feeley of the Senior class played for the dances, while between tlie acts a fine program of music was given by Mrs. Harry llilarshall, violinist, and Miss Ruth Bartlett, pianist. 1,1 .

VVe missed the old members and were glad to welcome the new. Rehearsals began at once with those time honored up and down by loo exercises. The usual suggestions of open your mouths, girls, were given, and only Bliss Searle knows how much good they did. With trembling knees, but smiling faces we marched in, on the evening of April 4, to render the results of our efforts. Altho it was raining out of doors, we found a goodly number assembled and did our best. The program was somewhat varied by the solo sung by one of our gifted junior members, lVIarion Hutchingsg the acco'mpaniment with her violin of Emma Robenstein for Hoffman's Boat Song and a double quartet. How the latter worked to make the dog bark in f'The Little Dog Barked, only they can tell you. At least we know that he for shall we say theyb barked in the end. Mrs. Marshall,s work was as delightful as ever. VVe appreciate her efforts to make our concert a success. However, it is to Bliss Searle that we turn with heart-felt gratitude for her faithful service spent in our behalf. VVhat would ever have become of our club if it hadn't been for her cheerful VVhy of course you can do it girls, we tremble to think.

That most bewildering of names! Do you remember the Hrst day in gym? How we gazed with astonishment at one another, from our feet up to our heads? iVe started immediately to learn those most beloved exercises, which, we were told by our energetic physical director, would make us strong and perfect ladies. Going up and down vertical ladders: climbing up and sliding down vertical and oblique ropes, were practised so diligently and patiently, both in gym and in our dreams, that, before we received the distinguished name of Seniors , we showed the world our wonderful ability in the athletic line. Can you recall those delightful walks we used to take last fall? All the dis- tinguished places of North Adamsg the Five Roads: JVindsor Lakeg Natural Bridge and the Tunnel, held open doors for our entrance. Hark! Did I hear a faint echo of the word, Bijou? That surely was one of North Adams' distinguished and widely known places: but, we won't say a word about that, for, no matter where our sprightly steps led us, we were always eager to return to the candy stores and our homes. YVhat team are you going to bet on today, Miss Skeele? Bet. on the side with the red markers, they always win. No. Bet on the blue side. These, and many other such familiar words were heard in the gymnasium on gym daysg and it may be said right here and now. that whether the red markers were magic ones or whether they were just plain lucky ribbons, it is a positive fact that the side, which wore the red markers always had the pleasure of lowering the colors of the blue team. It was with great pleasure that one evening the Juniors, 1914-, lined up against the Seniors, 1913, for the annual Senior and Junior basket-ball games. ive had heard a great deal about the Juniors' playing. YVhat good guarders they were: Cand to be sure they did teach us some new methods of guardingj YVhat great basket shooters they were: but, what did we care? Were we not better all around players than they? Of course. And so it was with great confidence that we took our places on the floor and faced our opponents. The whistle blew. The ball was thrown up into the air, and play started. Wie were gradually losing during the game, but we at no time lost a bit of confidence in ourselves, until at the close of the game, we, the Senior Class of 1913, had to leave the floor acknowledging the fact that we had been defeated. From this time on, we determined to practice more in basket-ball, and our games later showed the result of this practice. 52 NORMALOGUE 699696692 6 6 6 9 9 9 9 6 6 9 9 9 9 6 6 6 6 6 9 6 6 9 9 6 6 9 6 9 6 6 9 9 9 9 6 9 9 9 6 6 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9' 9' 9 9' 9 9 9' '9 969699999 99 99' 'ifiaakvthall 6999696666666696996996666699966666969699969969999696966969699696696 9' URING the Senior year, the basket ball girls organized themselves into two teams 4 known as the Taconics and the Berkshires. The Taconic team was composed of members of the class belonging to the dormitory. The Berkshire team was colnposed of town girls. Tacon ics B erlfslzire Raguse Norcott Krogman Ryan Pope Edson Hawkins Flaherty Smith Hanley VVe did not play the regular game of basket-ball, but we put before the public a new game, wherein each team was entitled to three fourths of the floor. Some of the rules of the game are as follows: the goal of each team is changed after every basket shot. A basket counts two pointsg a foul one point. The game is very interesting and we do not get so fatigued by covering only three fourths of the floor as we would by covering the entire floor. Other games played were, Stationary Basket Ball and Double Goal. Dances were also given and enjoyed. While in our Junior year we won many loyal allies to the cause of VVoman's Suffrage, and it was in the following manner that they showed their spirit. Two teams were got up with Seniors and Juniors on each team. The teams were the Anti-Sutfragettes and the Sudragettes. 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. The program for the evening included, Basket-ball, End Ball, and Dances. As we all know the success of the Suffragette movement in this country so far, it is needless to say, they were not success- ful in the games. The Basket Ball lineup was as follows: A Tlyfli-S It1?iI'fl.g6ffC.S' S14 ff ragetfes Allen Blanchard 0 'Brien Hanley Tower Roach Norcott Hawkins Brown Loomis Gelinas O 'Shea Score: Anti-Suffragettes 8, Suffragettes 5.

IVe cannot render enough thanks to her for her untiring work in our beI1aIf, and it will be with great zeal, that we enter into the physical and athletic training of our future pupils, always keeping our beloved instructor in mind. And so, it is without hesitation that I say, the IIICIIIOPY of our gym days will always be among the most pleasant pleasures which it has been our good fortune to enjoy while at the Normal. Nora H.

We are apt to shut our eyes Jagainst a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise women, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for suffrage? I have but one lamp by which my feet are guidedg and that is the lamp of ex- perience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the pastg and, judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the manner in which the men who govern have treated us to justify the hopes with which conservative women have been pleased to solace themselves. Is it the manner with which our petitions have been lately re- ceived? It cannot be for they have been received with sarcasm and ridicule. Let us not deceive ourselves, Sisters. 0ur cause is just and we must stand by it. Why should foreigners who come into this land merely for the sake of getting riches not having our interests at stake, be allowed after just a brief time to have a part in the control of this great nation when women who have always lived here and who love this country can only sit by passively and merely give a bit of advice to a husband who, thinking that a woman, because she is a woman, can not understand big problems, goes and casts his ballot to suit himself and oftentimes where he can get the most pecuniary benefits, forgetting that his wife and children have to abide by the laws which he helps to make? They may be good laws but there are many which are beneficial only to men and which we ought to oppose and down. Why should men who have not a cent in the world have a voice in the govern- ment when a woman and property-holder is compelled to say nothing, put aside her own feelings, and help to support that government which may be detrimental to her best interests? They, our esteemed brothers, tell us that it would be unwomanly to go to the polls and vote, but, I say, what can be more womanly than to demand justice? Why is it a wo1nan's place to remain shut within four walls and rock the cradle while her husband spends his spare moments with the crowd talking politics? A woman is not given a chance to learn things and then is chided because she is ignorant of the ways of govermnent. Once given an opportunity, she would show her colors. Sisters, we must think of some way to impress on the minds of these men that we are capable and that we ought to be allowed a voice in this, our government. But what have we to oppose to them? Shall we try argument? Sisters, we have been trying that for the last number of years. Shall we resort to entreaty and humble supplication? WVhat terms shall we find which have not been already exhausted? Let us deceive ourselves no longer. VVe have petitionedg we have remonstratedg we have supplicated. Our petitions have been N OR M A L O G U E 59 slightedg our rcmonstrances have produced additional violence and insult: our suppli- cations have been disregarded. Shall we, then, quietly submit and say that we can co I'l0lLlllIlgi fisters, 1' we 1 . J S. .t wish to bc free, if we mean to preserve inviolatc those incstimable privileges for which we have been so long contending, if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained, we must fight! I repeat it, we must fight! An appeal to arms is all that is left us. They tell us that we are weak but when shall we be stronger? Wvill it be the next week--or the next year? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Sisters, we are not weak, if we make a proper use of those means which have been placed in our power. Our brave women, armed in the just and noble cause of suffrage will be invincible under any means which these men can use against us. The battle is not to the strong aloneg it is to the active, the brave. Besides, Comrades, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission. YVhat would our dear and daring leaders who are now starv- ing in the cruel prisons for this our cause say, if we retreat? No, Sisters, the war is inevitableg and let it come! I repeat it, let it come! It is in vain to extenuate the matter. Some may cry peace! peace! but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! Our sisters are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? IVhat is it that gentlewomen wish? WVhat would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of quiet submission? Forbid it! I know not what course others may takeg but as for me, give me my rights, or give me death. -Stella ill. Hawkins w I Tl' egg gg? NORMALOGUE Againai Numan Svnlfragr 9 T is natural for man to indulge in the illusions of hope but is it natural for woman J to engage in the practice of casting the ballot? We admit that some of our states in the union, today, allow woman suffrage, thereby proposing to change their government but what good results are to come from it? A woman's place is in her home, not at the polls and when she should be at home attending to her household duties she should not be elsewhere engaging vigorously in the affairs only of men. Can you conceive of any thing more outrageous today than to read each night in the papers of the doings of suffragettes in other countriesg England, for example? Could there be a more dreadful sight than to see hundreds of women thronging through the busy streets of London on their Way to tl1e polls? Aside from that, think of the expense, harm, and amount of time put into their disastrous attempts to make women superior to men in regard to voting. You ask what do the suffragettes gain from their most laborious struggle? VVhat is ever gained, either good or bad, that must be fought for in such a way as to menace every person in a community? Indeed, if women should at some future time secure full control of the government it would be changed materially in a way degrading and destructive to all who have the misfortune of being ruled or living under their unjust and foolish laws. -Frances M.

UR strenuous life here at Taconic Hall has been made very enjoyable by many parties, dances, and entertainments. Surely, these social functions will never be forgotten by the students of the Normal School. The faculty pleased us exceedingly when they presented their original play entitled, The lNIodel Rural School. The students have never realized before what dramatists were among their instructors. In the teacher we had one possessing all the characteristics of a progressive pedagogue of the twentieth century and the pupils were exceptional children as one would expect under such supervision. Our teachers were very generous to us and entertained us again royally on St. Valentine-is Day with an evening with scenes from Dickens which were enjoyed by all the girls. Then it was our turn to return these pleasant evenings which we did in the form of a minstrel show. VVe that were in it enjoyed the play and our audience appeared to also. This ended our Taconic Hall entertainments for the year for then the work of comm encement started. VVe all wondered our senior year what our Valentine's party would be and were delighted with a trip to Europe by aid of the radioscope and talks by various teachers who had visited this interesting place. This was followed by a pleasant evening spent in dancing. Then there came that time when excitement reigned through out the corridors because of something Dame Rumor had said. How the girls talked in subdued tones, Could it be possible that this the 'impossible' was true? Yes, the inevitable had occurredg for, at last, we were to be given a series of real men dancesupreceded by clever entertainments. The first one was a farce entitled Alice in WVonderland. The play was very skillfully presented and heartily appreciated by all. One could not help but imagine himself in wonderland to see the various animals promenading about. The next treat was a series of 6'Living Pictures portraying scenes of spring. Never before did we realize what beautiful impersonations of this exquisite season were in our midst. The third entertainment was in the form of a colonial party where we were entertained by a group of courtly ladies who performed with graceful dignity the stately measures of the dances of those old colonial times. This was followed by the usual dancing which had only started when to our dismay the strains of Home Sweet Home were borne to our ears for these entertainments were to close in a business like way promptly at ten o'clock, and thus were brought to a close the long look-forward-to entertainments. Here's to good old Taconic Hall! lilay these jolly times spent within her walls linger pleasantly in the memory of us all. egg gg gg gNORMALOGUE 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 it tthiv' 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000 0000000000 LASS of 191Q! We gather here today-your day-our hearts stirred as never Junior hearts were stirred before. VVe come to reveal our pride in you, to express our deepest gratitudeg to show for you that love and affection that Old Normal has ever established among her daughters, to tell you all this, and then to say-farewell. But e'er that final word is sa.id, tarry here a moment to hear the Juniors' tale. Learn why our pride in you, why our gratitude and love. It was at the tennis tourna- ment, early in the fall, that first we realized the full significance of that word-seniorg and saw that your condescending manner was well warranted. Then came the gymnasium meet. Again you carried off the honors, and again we suffered sad defeat. How you did make basket after basket! W'hy, in double goal, our girls but fourth in line, had scarce received the ball, when cheering told another point for them! Never had we seen such playing. But, pardon, if I ask, who won the contest guessing names that day? VVas it not the Juniors? Now this leads me to believe one of two things-either, you considered ,us too insignificant to tax your brains in learning our names, or the Juniors are a far more observing, more attentive, in fact, a more mentally agile body than their esteemed elders. However this may be, in athletics, you stand far ahead !-our Elizabeths and Diary Janes have made a record at Normal not to be forgotten-a record that future classes will find hard to break. VVould not this athletic prowess alone be sufficient to justify our pride in you? But you had so many other accomplishments! VVe heard you in the Glee Club. lve saw you actually teaching in the grammar school. VVhat to a Junior could place you on a more exalted plane! Then, too, those wonderful creations that used to come from Miss Schuyler's sewing rooms. Each day, soon after four o'clock, we were always sure of seeing at least one senior enter assembly hall, so unconscious of that wreath of roses twined about her hair. To the Juniors fell the duty of marvelling over the exquisite beauty, and of exclaiming: You didn't do it all yourself! Great as our pride in you had been, not until the night of the class play, did it reach its culmination! The eagerness with which we look forward to seeing it again expresses our appreciation. Those first few weeks, we knew so little and you were seniors and knew so very much. We did get mixed up about the rooms, it is true, in fact, about everything else as well-and you laughed, but as the time approaches for us to welcome other Juniors, we begin to see things from a senior point of view, and forgive everything. Yes, even the Way you aired your knowledge of psychology, and practiced its precepts upon us. lvhile we can never forget our chagrin at having our every chance remark, analyzed and cut to pieces, still we freely forgive, for we have a feeling we may do likewise when our chance comes. NORMALOGUE 63 You were most accommodating in answering all of our questions. Problems, the most perplexing to us, in your hands, became simple indeed. WR- began to ask each other: Can there be a single thing these seniors do not know? Finally, one day, we discovered it! There lived, there walked among us, a senior who did not know the difference between enthusiasm and animation. Joy at our discovery, soon changed to grief! It was tragic to realize that one who so soon would be instructing the youth of our land, was in darkness concerning this most vital matter. lVould such ignorance ever admit of a sufficient understanding of her pupils to insure success? Perhaps, no kind act of yours made a greater impression upon us than the way in which you shared with us, those delicious tarts and sweethearts. Ever dear to the heart of a Junior, will be the memory of that Senior, who in those early days of shyness, heeded the hungry, longing look. Thoughts of these and the many good times we have enjoyed together, return to us as the day of separation draws near. We shall miss you sadly seniors. Yet, we would not bid you stay.

It was first quite bewildered by lNIr. Murdock's chapel talk in which he gave us the startling news that we would have no books to study. We were then precipitated into the geometry class. Miss Searle immediately asked us to describe the simplest roof form as we would to a small child. Delighted by the apparent simplicity of her request we confidently began. But after fifteen minutes search for words simple enough, and being reduced to the proper subjection we gave up in despair. Once out of class we talked it over. Well, how do you do it anyway?', Blest if I know. Say, girls, do you suppose she can do it? And we have been wondering ever since. After being properly introduced to Mr. Guss' class we were given a hammer, a bottle of acid, and then Mr. Guss took out that small note book which he always carries and which apparently must contain by this time our entire class history. Um-a- does anyone know where Miss Carr is? Um- Now, young ladies, be sure and wear your rubbers for the weather looks threatening. Then we sallied forth. Many were the walks we took thus armed,-with lllr. Guss striding on ahead calling- Step lively, young ladies, you can't afford to miss anything. You ask what we learned? When the acid is poured on C Just a drop is enough, young ladiesuj some rocks will fizz and some won't, altho which will and which won't I never can quite remember. The seniors now gave us a reception and we-to show our appreciation and general good will tendered them a most novel and scary Hallowe'en party. Then came the first of our famous class meetings where all the girls to demonstrate their class spirit and ability talked at once, and where all order and reason fled in terror. Nevertheless from the midst of chaos we showed our good sense by making Poky our president. In Drawing class, we learned to keep our eyes open to the values, howto make color scales, how to dress harmoniously with our complexion and strangely enough what color schemes to use for home decoration! Music class struck terror to many hearts for here we quaked and shook at the sound of our own voice singing all soul alone, before the whole class which seemed to increase in size with every note we attempted. Reading class at first seemed a joke with its l-2-3-4-5- l-12-Q-3-4, and goo goo goo goo goo goo goo G00 GOO: and again its stories such as how Funny Fanny fried fickle Frank five finey fish. But when we came to telling fables the joke was turned. WVith trembling knees and quaking voices we told stories of fairies, beautiful princesses and brave princes. We dramatized them and lieaved sighs of relief when we all got to the place where they live happily ever after. N 0 R M A L O G I' E 65 In wood work we accomplished wonders and in Miss l.amphicr's domain we acquired a wholesome respect for a cane seated chair. lvith the proper weather conditions came Mr. Murdock 's yearly exposition of the use of coats, put 071, and the frivolity of draped sweaters worn between Taconic Hall and the Normal school. Spring found us all in the garden with lNIr. Guss, and heard his admonition Water with a rake young ladies. To us the garden holds many mysteries, for how can it be that beans spring up where you know you planted lettuce, and lettuce flourishes in the midst of your flowers. But Mr. Guss only assures us that um-a- plants never tell lies, young ladies. How we scorned the smiles of our senior friends, and the wondering looks of the passers-by, and raked with renewed vigor under the scorching sun. Of the many happenings at Taconic Hall I can tell but little. Strange whis- perings of rooms turned upside down, of mid-night spreads, of closets used as places for mid-night study, of solemn house meetings, and of ghost story parties held in the middle of the dread, black night come to me, but the particulars, if known, I dare not relate. The next fall found most of us back in those coveted seats in the back of the chapel. After the usual senior reception we were given a delightful Hallowe'en party by the juniors, where ghosts, clowns and Indians abounded. lNIr. Smith, the new member of our faculty, immediately won our admiration and affection by his ever smiling face, his jovial good humor and his strong adherancc to the cause of woman suffrage. And now another of our illustrious class meetings was called. Poky having resigned, Kathryn Nash was elected president. But at this time that dreaded terror was upon us-teaching. Vile thought teaching, dreamed it, planned it, and then-tremblingly went entirely contrary to all we had thought, dreamed and planned. How the scraping of the teacher's pencil as she swiftly wrote our criticisms sent the shivers up and down our backs. Soon the whole school was disturbed with political discussions. Wilson, Roose- velt and Taft buttons and badges were seen on all sides. Roosevelt came to town, and it is whispered that many went to those awful moving pictures, even borrowing the money for it, in order to secure good seats to hear him. Finally on election day all the suffragettes in the senior class cast a ballot, having previously been to the poles to see how it was done. Great was the elation of some when Mr. W'ilson won. Mr. Smith has taken us on many pleasant walks where we learned how to throw stones, climb gravel beds and keep track of time. Heralded by Mr. Guss the hens and roosters welcomed us at the poultry show, as did the cows at lllr. Briggs' and the city farm. How much we enjoyed being wel- comed we are unable to express. Mr. Smith and Miss Skeele next planned a walk whereby they could distinguish the dead beets from the rest of the class. lVe are wondering why they were found with the beets. Mr. lNIurdock,s class in Education was approached with fear and trembling. Here we learned a wholesome respect for apes and monkeys, such as is not always held toward our more closely connected relatives. Four other events marked our senior year. One of these was the three enter- tainments given by the teachers, to which real live men were actually allowed to come. The next-the Child's Welfare Exhibit where we were asked to explain, flies, lunches as ,Miv,oRMALoGUE and toys and not to talk to the boys. The other two were the County Fair given by our class in the gym and the Old Folk's Concert. It is said that the lemonade sold at the former had a curious effect upon Mr. Smith, while Mr. Murdock compared it to rag- time music, but we noticed he enjoyed the side shows. ' We have learned many things here at Normal, such as our relationship to the apes, arguments for and against woman suffrage, what an ideal teacher is like, Cand all for 2610.00 a week,j a few have learned the graceful art of jigging and flying from lNIrs. Graves, while another few now know the proper place for alarm clocks when visitors are about. We all now have for our loftiest ambition the school on the top of Florida mountaing for have not all our honored faculty from the beginning of our course held it constantly lc efore us, and labored diligently to prepare us for it. Commencement is upon us and it is with mingled feelings of happiness and sadness that we pass to that work which lies beyond. ' -Gladys L.

Un this particular day, I was taken to see the ruins of the famous galley, the Argo, in which Jason carried off the Golden Fleece. There was the wonderful figure head, cut from thc branch of the talking oak. My guide was particularly proud in telling me of the talking qualities of the figure. I sat down before it and it was not long before I was looking at it intently, as Jason had done, and repeating these words, Child of the Talking Oak, I whispered. can you tell me what has become of my friends of a decade ago? Then, to my great amazement, it repeated the following story of the wonderful class of 19153. Katherine Nash, your faithful class president, continues to hold her high office, but this time she is president of a household. Each afternoon, she sits drowsily watching the ships coming in at Cheshire Harbor. Diary Bousfield, who not only charmed her classmates by her musical talent but also her friend at Amherst, having completed her course in Domestic Arts at the normal school, has commenced a special course of sweethearts at Amherst under the close observation of INIr. Blake. I wonder if he made the suggestion? Iilarion Donelson and Lora VVard who gave up their work in elocution, and who settled down as home makers, have been using their well developed voices in giving cur- tain lectures to an audience of one. Bliss Bicknell and Bliss INIary f'ummings are matrons of a girls' dormitory at Columbia. Mary is lenient toward her charges, in all things except for strict observance of study hour, recreation periods, pillow fights and dog chases. Pauline Beadles has accepted a position in the west as principal of a building where plumbing apparatus is continually out of order. I wonder why crayons were found in the sink pipes and the same plumber alwsys responded to her call? Hut why need Pauline care? Era Grout and Henrietta IVells have found at last the remedy which makes people grow tall. They have attained the height of six feet two inches. CQuite a change!D No wonder we read the sign, Grow tall by inches! Leila Smith, our great suffragette, is following the good work of lflmmeline Pankhurst. As yet she has had to serve no time for confiscating property, but soon she will exhibit her fine gymnastic abilities to advantage. lilary Gleason, who has now attained suHticient knowledge in Zoology to war- rant l1er specializing in it, has long been holding an honored position among the faculty of her Alma hlater. T V 1 L gggg gg gg lNg0IigMALOGU1y Lila Krogman and Dorothy hlurdock have become matrons of a dormitory, which is connected with a Normal School for Boys. Dorothy, in her simple way, is teaching thcm sewing and Lila, from her point of view, is teaching the pupils short, and certain methods of cooking. lNIargarct Carr, together with her assistants Lucille Norcott, and hlargaret Smith, is having trouble with the superintendent because she thinks there are too many holidays during the term. CThe girls felt the same way about holidays at Normal, especially gym days!D Four of my dear classmates, who were inseparable during days at old normal, are still inseparable. These girls, Elaine Cavanaugh, her sister Genevieve, Grace Burns a.nd Sarah Nettleton have become very serious since we saw them last, and most of their time is taken up in leading the society of Boston. Here, the oak paused as if to recall some one's name, butiafter a minute's hesitation, I heard it whisper lNIonny! Yes, Monica was teaching in the first grade on Florida ltlountain. She had selected the poem Pittuy-Pat and 6'Tippy-Toe to read to the children, but the name Pat, which suggested days gone by, made her lonesome, so she omitted the reading. If a body meet a body comin' thru the Ryean? CRyanD Hark! VVhat melodious sounds! Can it be Katherine Sinnott singing? Certain, it is! See, the last words make her smile too! I wonder what they suggest? Perhaps by 1930, the veil of mystery shall be lifted. Jenny Rosenburg has engaged the last seat in the car for the school term at Broad Brook, so that she can converse with the conductor. lYhy, Jenny, what's the matter? lVhen did you start that habit? For five long, happy years, Frances Kelly has been joined to Jolm by chemical affinity. The relation between them is growing stronger and nearer however, and we would not be surprised if they would go into partnership soon. But this is no wonder, nay, it is an open secret. COMINGlA GREAT COMEDY You can break your sides laughing! Come one and All! These words warn us of the coming of the world famous comedians Hawkins, Feeley, hlallery, Buck, playing under the name of The Great Side Splitting Quartet. lNIaud's literary ability has at last been appreciated. The popular N. Y. Tribune offers her a position at forty dollars per week. She has accepted and has become the great editor of Every miscellaneous topic under the sun!,, Nlary Robinson, the great Bible quoter is preaching on: Immoral Amusements, H Evils of Dancing and the Reward of Perseverance and Obedience to her fellow men in Africa. Your class of 1913 is to be represented in still another field because Blargaret Pope and Ruth Hamer have posed as modern artists. At a very enormous salary, they have been commissioned to paint candle shades for the cathedral at Rome. Elsie Blanchard has given up her teaching in the district school, where in former years, she saw and related so many of their practical processes and is now taking a special course of study in the fields. Elsie always enjoyed Nature work! 1Ye hope no mal will come to her. g N o R M ix L o G U 11:7 K g g gli Rachel Parsons remained nine and one half years in her model rural school, until some one came to Hook her Cllookerj. We should not be surprised at this, as Hooker used to be the principal word in Rachel 's vocabulary. Frances Iashway and Helen Ryan are talking very seriously with the superin- tendent. If any one should listen carefully for a moment, we would find out, altho they do not screech now, that these girls cannot get along without a. shower bath in their school. Malielle Raguse on the stage! Yes, she is a world renowned tight rope walker and acrobat! Katherine Reilley has not yet entered a convent, but many of her evenings are spent in church. lYe do not wonder that she may change her mind and enter the circle of matrimony. Evelyn Montague so refined and so quiet, is to pose as the modern prima donna, having given up her work as an orator. Gertrude Galusha has been seen each afternoon canvassing Bordeau Mixture and sp1'ay pumps to farmers of Ivilliamstown. Praise to her instructors along this line! Herta Hackebeil has wandered to Central Africa. Here she is doing fine work teaching the natives how to embroider and hemstitch. Ruth Morrison has accepted a position at Lenox. She, like many of the down county girls, has grown very fond of blue eyes. For this reason, Doc continues to call! Anna ltlorris taught five years in a graded school where normal methods were unheard of, after which time, one of her many, handy cousins came to the front and rescued her. Having grown fond of lilies C Lily's',l Mabel Flaherty has procured one at last, guaranteed to last a life time and keep its beauty. IVe hope it will continue to flourish. Quiet Lottie Lacey Cquiet when asleepl has reached the west in safetyg and has become overwhelmed by the hospitality of the westerners, especially the cow-boys. She has sent back to her home in Pittsfield a book, Glowing Descriptions of Ranch Life, which she published, expressing her feelings about ranch life and the boys! lNIattie Lesure and Eloise Boorne have life positions as instructors in normal schools. I know you will be surprised to hear about Katherine and Mabelle Holleran. You 'll not wonder long when I tell you they have written two famous books, one The Growing Independence of Individuals, and the other, The Reward of the Labor of Others. The stories deal with knowledge already known and one's own experiences. Hark! As you drive through the quiet yet famous village of Savoy, you can hear a sweet, soft, melodious little voice coming from the village choir. .Ks you ascend the rickety stairway, you behold no other person but our friend and classmate, Nora Hanley. Betty 0'Brien, still quiet and shy, concluded that teaching was too strenuous a duty, so she resigned and took up the work of Domestic Arts in a four roomed bunga- low at Lee. Alone? YVhy no! Mary Mahon has given up her liking for Empire plays and players but has become deeply interested in athletics and their work. Quiet, indeed no, she enjoys to NORMALOGUE see them play. lYe can easily account for this as she loves to watch a dandy C Dan dy, player at work to win the game. Fanny Barrett has continued during all these years, to work out fancy dances for the henefit of the Boston American readers. Then came a silence. I listened carefully and quietly, but in order to hear the last words, I had to lean forward, and as they died away, a soft wind seemed to sigh near me. I arose reluc-tantly, after a few words of gratitude, almost as happy, as if I had that day visited with each of my school mates, longing for the sight of their dear faces and memories of the class of 1913 were clearly brought back to me. -Gertrude Hurlbuf lt3hf1 ml3EElt3bDa gg H NORMALOGUE g 71 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000 0000000000 HEN I was designated by the class to write a prophecy on the prophet, I found to my dismay that any of the ludicrous things I could predict for her were completely overshadowed by the ridiculous things that happened in the past. After rack- ing my brains in vain, I locked up my conscience, reputation for truthfulness and veracity, took twenty-five cents and paid a visit to a famous soothsayer. To her I gave my name as Gertrude Hurlbut and, gazing into a luminous crystal ball, I saw the fate of that young lady revealed. I shall not endeavor to give all the details of her marvelous career, for if I should probably be accused of plagiarizing on Jules Verne or Garrett P. Serviss. Neither will I attempt to follow her in her first few years after leaving Normal, as her career depicted in the crystal was one of meteoric rapidity and kaleidoscopic variability through gasping and bewildered society. I will now attempt to relate to you an interest- ing incident in our prophet's future. I saw a tourist about the year Nineteen Hundred and Twenty entering the world- famed Garden of the Gods in Yellow-stone Park. He was amazed and horrified to behold the beautiful, natural formation of rock, hitherto undesecrated by the hand of man, placarded with immense posters, every letter a work of art, heralding the coming of Gertrude Hurlbutas Massive, Modern, Melodious, Magnificent, Maiden Minstrels. Today at the Old Faithful Geyser. The tourist, with a host of others, hastened to the geyser which flows periodically every sixty-four minutes, in time to witness its wonderful eruption. W'hen it had sub- sided, a fleet of airships appearedg each craft hovered over the orifice just long enough to allow a dainty maiden to drop with a parachute, each alighting in her appointed place around the rim of the geyser. Then immediately followed the greatest conglomeration of music and dance ever heard or seen. At the expiration of an hour the aeroplanes descended and took all the maidens, save one the primissima of prima donas, Gertrude Hurlbut. She hovers on the brimg as the first vapor arises from the geyser, she springs forth, and dances on the rising steam, so lightly that she ascends on the pinnacle of the coming eruption. VVhen the height of one hundred and fifty feet is reached, she hops into her awaiting aeroplane, and, amid the cheers of the multitude, sails away for new worlds to Conquer. -illarjie illallery 722 NORMALOGUE OO 0 0 0 6 O O O O O O 9 0 0 0 O O 6 0 O 0 O O 9 O O 0 O 0 O 0 0 O O O 6 0 9 6 O 0 Q 0 O 0 O O O O 6 O 0 0 O 6 0 Cf 49 O' P 6' O O O C' 0' O 0 g09000OO0O06Q6 Q?

In all our activities you have stood by us. You have managed your class well, not having to call upon the Seniors for aid in settling disputes, as former classes have been known to do. In the games we have had together, you have been the ones to enter enthusias- tically and push them thru. By your faithful persistency, we have to shamefully admit, that in our largest and most important game, the defeat was ours. Again, those of you in the Glee Club, willingly and with no complaints, took upon your shoulders, the heavy responsibility of knowing the words of the songs we sang, because the seniors were elsewhere busily engaged. For all our entertainments you have shown interest by spreading the news of them, by buying our tickets, and by attending them in large numbers. For all these we thank you most heartily. As for our places which you will so soon occupy we wish to reveal to you a few secrets and give you a little advice. First, for those of you in the dormitory, abide by the rules we have made this year. Choose your competent house-president and monitors, and insist that rules be obeyed, especially that every girl be in bed at 10.15 or go home. Please for the sake of the school, remember that. For the whole class, we wish to remind you, that, as seniors, you must be dig- nified, hold your heads high, and pretend to know whether you do or not. He who knows and knows he knows-he's a Senior. You will be the ones at the head, and you must be business like. Every class can try to improve upon the preceding one, and you can do it. Also you have it in your power to make the standard of this school one of the highest excellence and right. Thus, hoping that you have been encouraged by our fine opinion of you, and that you have thankfully received what little advice we have given, we, tomorrow, leave our places for you to fill. lVe also give you our most worthy name-Seniors-and you have our sincerest wish for the best possible success.

To hlrs. Couch: Our greatest thanks for many suggestions as to the method of management in our future kingdoms. To the training school teachers: The Juniors, for one year, to make lesson plans, to teach, and to be criticised: thereafter to be let loose in the wilds of Florida Bit. or Peru. To the owners of the various barns, stables, etc., visited by us: Our deepest gratitude for knowledge gained from your property and our sorrow for any damage caused by the tramp of so many curious feet. To the Juniors: In your hands do we place our greatest legacy, the honor aI1d glory of the name of Seniors: and which you will need in large measure, nalnely dignity. Along with this first great bequest, we leave the wish that you set a good ex- alnple to those who will enter in September.

'Twas Hallowe'en, if my 1nem'ry serves true, VVhen down the corridors they came into view. Laughing, they- stepped, and their merry glee 'Twould take but half an eye to see. As they approached Room 48, They found that the hour was getting late. The door was opened and swallowed the host. Then began spooky tales of a ghost. Their sweet laughter died, and a vague unrest And a nameless something filled each breast. Soon from the sofa came a deep moan f 1 Then from a corner was uttered a groan. The house president crept down the hall, Determined to make those Seniors bawl. She delayed her footsteps before the lockg Then in the silence came a loud knock. A smothered laugh, then a titter went round When a certain brave maid made the door with one bound. She addressed the one on the outside there, In accents loud which made her glare. If some rip-roaring ghost stories you would hear, Just put to the keyhole your own wee ear. Hold it there, and we shall send Tales to make your hair stand on endf' She blushed as she said it, looking down On her feet so bare, and her kimoned gown.

Ha!', laughed the girls, WVe're out fora lark, And what's more, weire afraid to go home in the dark. At last, like one who for delay Seeks a vain excuse, she went away. But she looked back and saw a long line Of those self-same Seniors entering Room 49. Soon up came the matron, aroused from her slumber To attend to those bad girls, those girls without number. She knocked on the door, but before 'twas unlocked A rug from the transom was pulled like a shock. For these innocent Juniors were having a feast VVhich, all of a sudden, had been caused to cease. When the door was opened, was disclosed to sight Nearly twenty maidens huddled in affright. Their dear matron, CAh! How that night they rue!j Looked over their faces. CNot one 'scaped her viewD A matron more fair nor a face more sweet, Ne ,er had it been their lot to meet. And her modest command and graceful air, Showed her wise and good as she is fair.

The song and voice of maidens, Had they a merry time? Hast thou heard from those lofty chambers The songs and the Glee Club chime? The cheer and cheer from Seniors, They hushed it was like a pall I heard on the gale a sound of wail Oh! Juniors, come, give us the ball. Hark! IVhat is that strange music? IYhy it's only the Gramaphone Mercy the rooster is crowing Alas, please take me home. '60ft saw I the lordly castle Heard Seniors one and all. It is the time of gladness, The night of the Seniors' Ball. i e,FQBNf? L 0 G U E Slug 13119111 JFOR two short years weive lingered here Alas, so sweet, so short a space! Nor would we leave some little trace Reluctant, e'er the end draws near! Like others who have trod these halls, And found the onward sign, So we plant tenderly the vine To guard old Normal's walls. Climb up, small vine, as seasons wane, And twine yourself in branches high, Gather your strength as years go by, To help us love and serve her name! May winter,s mantle gleaming bright, And summer's sun with gentle rain Help you, the top-most goal to gain And lead our steps a-right. So nineteen thirteen, here today, To these dear walls their off'ring give, With ev'ry wish that it may live And help all others on their way. And now as time draws near to leave, VVe part, in unknown paths to treadg Meanwhile by hopes our feet are sped YVith help and courage we've received. VVhen we have journeyed far from here, Others will come, and in their turn, Study and work, observe, and learn, As we, to hold these mem'ries dear. For Alma lNIater's name will shine! Her name we'll always love! And try to climb to heights above Like this green ivy vine! geeeeeeeeoeeeg Q e e o Q e Q e e e e e e e Q fe e o e e 0 e Q e e e e e e e 2 e e O 0 4? 49 0 0 4: e 0 Q O o e e O 0 0 0 e e O o O o 6 o 0 e 4? e 0 e e cs 4? e O o e ca e e 2 2 e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e ea e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e cz e e e eeeeeeeeeeeeee 1611111 Enrmitnrg Girlz Stung Eating Stung Mum' Time--8:15 P.
