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.

Zluhuznn 'iiulnnh M. 61155 I O Mr. Guss we are indebted for our knowledge of nature and science. 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.

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.

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.
