x-1.3 N 0 R M A 1,0 G IT IC 23 ELOISE HUNTINGTON BOURN, Adams, Mass. ' ERE is one of our most studious girls. Eloise is very ambitious, Q often going without her dinner to get a lesson more perfect. If there is anything you wish to know, just go to Eloise and the knowl- edge will be supplied to you. She is always seen with a large green bag of books on her arm, and anyone can tell her even when she is quite a distance away. Eloise has been very successful through life so far, and we all extend our wishes that her future life may be one of continued brightness and prosperity. DIARY BUUSFIELD, North Adams, hlass. LTHOUGH I am not good at rhymes, To Iylary I dictate these lines. Each morning her smile makes us glad, But if she should scowl we'd feel sad, Our sunny, good-natured Mary. Although Domestic Arts she takes, She does it for dear Blakey's sake. In winter and summer she toils, In the cold and the heat she broils, Our sunny, good-natured Diary. For two years we toiled together, In rainy and pleasant weather. And when things seemed to go wrong, iVe were cheered by Ma1'y's song. Our sunny, good-natured IVIary. But 11ow at the end of two years, She can do anything it appears, From stewing and stewing, to boiling and hlueing, Our sunny, good-natured, dear Mary. GLADYS LYDIA BUCK, North Adams, hlass. LADYS, the much travelled maiden of our class, has favored many elimes with her residence. Though a North Adams girl she can tell you of the joys of Sunny Floridaf' the mission school in Alabama, where she taught a first grade of ninety pupilsg and of her experiences with real cowboys in Montana. Her homeward path brought Gladys to the little house under the hill where some of us including the Professor have had such splen- did times. From here, Gladys climbs the hill to Normal, where as a senior and a kindergartener, she also ranks as a musician, the leader of our glee club.

PXULINL LLOYD BEADLES, North Adams, Mass. ERE is lauhne one of the industrious girls of our class. She is one who ilu ix s tiles to be prompt and for that reason manages to be in school long before nine o'clock. Besides being industrious, she possesses a pleasing personality ind makes friends whelever she goes. Since Cllttllllg our III'1kS she has held almost invariably to the motto EN elybodv lox es a fat man, but is not inclined to acknowledge Here s hoping that Pauline will succeed in her chosen profession ind be sure shc yy ill lefue us with the well wishes of the class for the HILN this quiet demure maiden entered the spacious halls of old Normal all her classmates expected great things of her. Elsie dld not dls ippolnt them She has had remarkable success with every- thing she his undertaken, but her supreme excellence has been in making ruthoi s books lVhen asked if she expected to use them in her llltlll6 life 1'ls1e replied, I don't know.

Gertrude's plump, Gertrude's fair Wlatch the way she does her hair. Qi URRAH for the Charlemont Girl! The only one of this species 5 in the class. Gertrude has already had one year of experience along our great professional line and to help matters along even better she took the vacation course at the Normal School that same year. Gert is one who loves everybody even the teachers and in turn is equally loved by all even by the latter. Here you will find the strong- est of conscienciousness and because of this fact shehas been asked to fill many trustworthy offices, namely, conducting arithmetic classes in Junior year when the teacher was absent, and acting as House President during the senior year. If any of you do not know what it means to see the phrases, lVatch time, or Too Slow , written on rectangular pieces of brown paper ask Gertrude, for if I am not mis- taken she has these things definitely settled in her mind, and that is the secret of her coming success.

1 HAM-. L c I NQ.R9L5P 0 G U E GRACE ELIZABETH BURNS, Lee, Mass. 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. The little lady with the dignified walk You would hardly think her to be a lox er of gymnastics vs ould you? Yet even before gym. class begins Margaret can be seen taking a lively sprint out of the west door for she is a bit bashful at being seen in any state but that of dignity. Yet we all like her especially lVI1ss Krogman who gladly answers the telephone during lunch when she knows that she will hear, 'S May I speak with lNI1ss Carl? llargaret is even more popular if such could be in her life out of schogl. It used to be just one but now she has so many romances that they are too numerous to mention in particular See lllargaret for correct information about this. Also about the Bijou Margaret tells us in the class of Education that her br-un grows every day so for news of her in the future join 1 h1storV of Education
