N o R MA L o G U 14: g Q9 MARY HANNAH GLEASON, North Adams, Mass. ND here we see Mary, a quiet young lass, - VVhose love for a joke, none could ever surpass, Although not received in a boisterous way The effect of a joke keeps her cheerful all day. Mary herself is a model of neatness, And her disposition a model of sweetness, And when we feel sad and in need of good cheer, Our faithful friend Diary will always be near. Her heart and her hand are as open as dayg And ready to help all who may come her way, Her kindness and goodness will always be found And if you should need it,-why just come around.

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.

so NORIXLQLOGUE BERTA ROSALIE HACKEBIEL, Washington, Mass. O! Not VVashington, D. C., tho you might think so. Our Birdie is a New Englander thru and thru. Have you ever heard her say I'm So Madw? No? Then you would not appreciate the fact that Birdie is a Dutch New Englander! 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? Of all the birdies ours might be said to Inost resemble the English Sparrow as she always has something to sputter and chatter about. But when there's nothing to trouble her Berta is one of the most quiet, sedate, serene and yet lovable of girls. RUTH SCOTT HABIER, North Adams, lNIass. LTHOUGH quiet and demure Ruth is one of the most dependable members of our class. She may be grouped among those noted for their fine art and, like some artists, she may be a little absent- minded for-Could her mind have been elsewhere one fine morning When, sad to relate, she walked into Literature dressed in her cooking paraphernalia? Never mind, Ruth. Perhaps some day- ivell, ask the phone. NORA HELEN HANLEY, Pittsfield, Mass. ND here is Nora, our class basket Ball star, who won her fame by her high jumps and quickness. 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. ,
