gg gg, NoRMALoGUE ' ' k ' o RIABEL VERONICA FLAHERTY, North Adams, Mass. U ' I IS the voice of our Mabel, we hear it proclaim, If you 're speaking of peanuts, that's my middle name. For she scoured the city till knowledge she boasted Of peanuts, their prices and weight, raw and roasted, And the problems she made, now just let me mention, Have won for her fame at a teachers' convention. But problems are not the extent of her glory: Her prowess in gym. makes another fine storyg Of the current events no items escape her, Save in city elections, shels our daily paperg She holds a class officeg to sing she is ableg So an all-around girl, you see, is our Mabel. MONICA ADELAIDE FLYNN, North Adams, Mass. 4fZlHLYNNY is one of the jolly North Adams girls of our class. She is fond of talking of Soil , the poem Pitty Pat and Tippytoeu and her Cummings and Goingsn. lNIonica is very much interested in Bliss Business College. Wie all think lNIonica would make an excellent housekeeper for she has had much practical experience and we know that she will have some one to apply her knowledge upon, long before she applies for a pension. D GERTRUDE LILLIAN GALUSHA, lvilliamstown, Blass. ERTRUDE or Gertie as we call her when we wish to keep her good natured, comes from lvilliamstown, one of Berkshire's most treasured spots. Although she did not enter our class until the Senior year she has endeared herself to all her classmates. She first became prominent through a little experience with a conductor who accused her of attempting to pass as a 'Normal student instead of a specialist of humanity.

For example, lNIr. hlurdock said in Education one day, IVhat animal is an illustration of a parasite, Bliss Donelson? I tletoef' There may be and we surely hope there is a teacher's pen- sion waiting for you, honored classmate. BIAUD ABIGAL EDSON, Bennington, Vt. LTHO this girl in our class is very keen, she has the facility of always saying, I don 't understand what you mean. But we all are very sure that when the question is asked she quickly will say, IVhy, yes, I understand what you mean. Here is the girl again who is so exceptionallyfine in Gym , but she is sorely bothered because she finds she has too many thumbs. In all the work which Maud will undertake, we are sure she will succeed. 'is j U' EDNA THEODOSIA FEELEY, Pittsfield, Mass. ' DNA is one of our Pittsfield girls and we are all glad to recognize her as such. Through her whole normal course, she has been ever jolly for who has ever seen her without half a dozen jokes up her sleevelv Edna has been nicknamed Tetrazinni, a very fitting title for her, as she is constantly trying the Echo Song, with better results each time. Some of us think she rivals the great singer herself. Not only in vocal gymnastics does she take first rank, but also in physical exercises. In basket ball, she was always sure to get the ball and hold it, and when a basket she made, her shouts could be heard thru the entire hall. Let us hope our Edna will pursue her education along the line of some of her talents of which she has so many. was thinking of a plant, replied hlarion. YYhat plant? Blis-
