NORMALOGUE LYDIA LAURA HARRIS, Chester, Mass. Nor shall thy wit or wisdom be forgot. HEN Lid first joined our ranks, we thought her a quiet, demure little maiden. But too soon we realized our mistake, for she has stores of wit and fun ready at all times and entertains her third floor friends in many astonishing ways. She is one of the illustrious kindergarteners and by her great humor has been a source of charm and enjoyment to her discouraged classmates. Is she excitable? you inquire. No, not usually, but when the postman comes-well, ask Lydia. Although we fear her teaching career will not be lengthy, we are sure it will be most successful. Lid,' will take away the best wishes of the class and leave behind a memory which will long endure. MAE ALMA HOGAN, Lenox, Mass. I HIS tall and slender brunette, who came to us from Lenox, Mass., is surely talented in speed, for, when some poor culprit has gone to her for aid at 4 p. in., has she not been heard to remark, Don't bother me, this Lesson Plan is due at 4.15 ? Wie are surprised that so brilliant a girl should think of nothing in general. VVhen the girls at Room 13 are reproved for uproarous laughter, investigation invariably reveals lNIae doing a vaudeville act. But no one can deny that she is intensely interested in her work, especially in the work that calls for visits to the Shoe Factory. There is one question we would like to ask, lYhy is lNIae so partial to Kelly green. Never mind, hlae, you're a sunny, good-natured girl and a positive cure for the blues. You cannot fail to shine as a teacher and we wish you luck in attaining your ideal. DORA HARWOOD, No. Adams, Mass BORA is one of our best students but that is not all She 1S a basket ball star and the life of every company ln which she is found. The last named virtue combined with a capacity for enjoy ing a joke account for her popularity. She Hnished the course in 1 xexr and a half and has since been doing substitute wolk in Williamstown and elsewhere. Her plans for the future are indehnite but wherex er she goes the best wishes of the class go with her 1

30 NORMALOGUE LOIS MYRA FLANDERS, Pownal, Vermont I HE ease with which Lois makes goals in basket-ball leads one to think that she is not easily disturbed, but let the thunder roar and the lightning flash and you find that she has a well developed nervous system. Lois is also our great geography scholar. For although the car may be late, she always arrives in time to explain the results of the great ice sheet to the class. WVe hope before she goes to make her home in New York state that she will be able to earn an auto to get her there in time for the great event. ,I I have told you the beginning, and if it please your ladyships you may see the end.', RUTH GORDON, Wlilliamstown, Blass. Leave Business to Idlers and Wisdom to Foolsg they have need of 'em,' Wit be my Faculty and Pleasure my Occupation, and let Father Time shake his Glass. QKUTH is one of our privileged ones, who hails from the college town, for whenever she sleeps over she can say, Car was late. Gordy,' has been called one of our quiet QD cla.ssmates but she is always ready for all the fun going. Her ever radiant smile and- yes, that curly blonde hair which she positively cannot help has always been a pleasure to us all. VVe are all delighted to think that the pension bill has been passed but we are sure that Ruth will never reap any benefit. How lucky it is that she chose the course she did. The class of 1914 wish her great happiness in her future life. HELENE GREGORY, Sheffield, Mass.
