'Neath his steady hand and wise judgments our Alma lllater has been successfully piloted for many years. After having been under the influence of his rare intellect and fine administrative power no member of the Class of 1916 can help but carry away with her a lasting memory of what it is which makes North Adams Normal School rank so high among institutions of its kind. During our two years as a member of his school many a noble tribute has been paid to him by speakers in our As- sembly Hall and We have learned what educational men throughout our country think of llr. Murdock. Very hard indeed would it be to give a fitting testimony of the numberless lessons of life, Worth While, which have been taught to us by our faithful friend and teacher. Nevertheless we will tender to him our appreciation of such favors and wish that his future may be as contented and prosperous as his past. -Katharine A. 0'Connor. f gl I-3 , .--A J ' i ,rl 1-if fm inf ,,,.......

During our Junior year our some- what dreary existence was often brightened by his witty stories and unfailing sympathy. In our Senior year he gave us some of our most helpful words of advice. Surely Mr. Smith must have adopted the following lines of Foss as his motto:- Let me live in a house by the side of the road, And be a friend to man Cgirlsjf' 7 l L ! r w l l 5 ll P i l l 10 NORMALOGUE WILLIAM JOHNSON T he day of the mere professor, who deals in knowledge is gone,' and the day of the doer, who creates, has corne.

WVhether that piece adorns her schoolroom or home it will always bring back pleasant memories of that kindly teacher whose difficult task it was to make carpenters out of girls who would fain be other- wise.

NE morning in February We were pleasantly surprised by the news that Mr. Eldridge was to be a member of our faculty and would teach the Senior History of Education Class. YVe have all appreciated Mr. Eldridggfs patience with us in that profitable but uninteresting subject. To him we owe our first knowledge of how and what to say to those marvelous creatures, superintendents. He understands the business thoroughly because he had been one himself before he joined us in North Adams. - 4,J 12 NORMALOGUE NY . ROSA E. SEARLE Gite us to awake with smiles, gire us to labor smiling . . . As the sun brightens the irorld, so let our loring kindness make bright this house of our habitation. -Stevenson. ISS SEARLE found our Junior class most unresponsive. It took a large amount of enthusiasm, which she seems to radiate, to brighten us up. How many of us Willforget the see me which became her motto until We began to show the results of our awaking! Exactness, patience, and forti- tude, she required of all, yet We shall remember her for sym- pathy and understanding which in such 'Wise hands brought us to a fuller, richer life. She made us realize that 'We must do our part if 'We wished the 'world to help us on. NORMALOGUE 13 X, X V 1 If ,ff .f i X, I I v l I A 1 40.1, was fu' : g gkhr: fi ANNIE E.

WVe will not forget the pleasure We had in Hygiene in our Junior year, neither can we forget the delight- ful gym days spent with her. YVhat real good times we have had! VVe hope all future classes receive as much life- help and encouragement from her as did we. 14 NORMALOGUE MARY LOUISE BARIGHT True expression likei the unchanging sun Clears and improves all that it shines upon. -Pope. Not of the sunlight, Launch your vessel, Not of the moonlight, And crowd your canvass, Xot of the starlight! And ere it vanishes, O young mariner, Over the margin, Down to the harem, After it, follow it, Call your companions, Follow the Gleam. -Tennyson. OBIEXTS not soon to be forgotten were those in which Bliss Baright read to us some poem or article illustra- tive of the daily lesson. How we 'svould thrill to our finger tips as she interpreted the various beauties of the selection. The success of our Class Play was due largely to her training and inspiration as 'Was also the success of our efforts in other directions. Long will We remember Bliss Baright as one of .our best friends during our stay at Normal school. NORMALOGUE 15 .5 rr Y' ANNIE LAMPHIER Remembering what the common man may do, with proper ideals and advantages, there is no higher duty now resting upon all of us, and especially upon our educators, than to unite educa- tion and activity by the closest possible bonds, to prevent on the one hand the requirement of knowledge to no purpose, and on the other the development of operative skill with little knowledge of the true relations of thingsg to see to it that no individual shall be compelled .to choose between an education without a vocation, and a voca- tion without an education. EIN our Junior year lNIiss Lalnphier taught us basketry. Some of us were not Very apt pupils thus making doubly difficult the task ozf our inst.ructor. lYe have appreciated her efforts and realize that hers was no easy subject to teach. 16 NORMALOGUE MRS.

Ever ready with an encouraging Word she lightened the burden of many a sad hearted would-be teacher. In every sense a Woman who lifts the 'world upward and onward. In all our hearts there is a special Corner reserved for her. NORMALOGUE 17 ' MARY PEARSON Handiwork expressed the soul of the worker. That which is soul we weave as we live, and good or bad it tells in our ejorts. The good craftsman is he whose work is done as best he knows how. Not at once is perfection attained, but one day comes the revelation that at last mastery is achieved. This is art. JF you have never tried to make a passable genius out of common material you can not realize the task which awaited Miss Pearson in the class room each day. Never tiring of her task, but by worthy example and interesting lectures she strove to teach us the three great principles of art, namely, balance, rhythm and harmony. 18 NORMALOGUE BERTHA SHOLES Not the size of the task, but the spirit shown in the task, is the measure of the manf, ISS SHOLES came to us in our Senior year. To her kindly teaching many of us owe our tirst thorough knowledge of those things which make a home a delight to live in. Although she has not been a member of our faculty during our entire course she has endeared herself to the Class of 1916 and will not be soon forgotten by them. NORMALOGUE HANN AH P.

ISS HOYVARD, our assistant matron, came to us after graduating from the Boston Cooking School. Besides performing her many duties she takes an active part in all our parties. She has won a place in our hearts which no one else can ever replace. Q4 NOR,MALOGUE 'i MRS. VAN ETTEN RS. VAN ETTEN came to us this year. It is impossible to say how much We love her.

Ji ini Ea R Here's to the Seniors!!! Hear their cry- V-I-C-T-O-R-Y GHE class of 1916 will long be remembered at Normal for their athletic ability by the Faculty, Seniors, Juniors, and every other team with 'whom they came in contact. When We entered Normal in the fall of 1914, lVIiss Skeele so quickly recognized that we had rare ability for her to develop, that she called the Seniors and warned them to look out for their laurels. Shortly after the warning we issued them a challenge to meet us some afternoon in the gym for a game of stationary basketball. Then it was that they found out the warning was true. They Worked hard every minute and because of their experi- ence Cnot superior playingjr they Won the victory by a few hard earned points. Because of our first brilliant showing, Bliss Skeele asked us if We would like to give an exhibition and invite our friends. When We trotted into the gym that never-to-be-forgotten evening in March, our joy knew no bounds, especially when the loud applause of the chosen friends greeted every perform- ance. During the evening the Berkshire girls and Taconic girls danced, climbed, somersaulted and last of all the rival teams played basketball. The Berkshires piled up a score which the Taconic could not overcome. During the winter we spoiled the Senior's favorite saying: Never mind, you can beat the Juniors. They,re dead easy, 66 NORMALOGUE by defeating the teams to whom that consoling fact had been offered. In the spring we introduced an new sport into the school known as the favorite American game, baseball. Although none of us were hired for the big leagues during the summer, we accomplished some admirable feats in pitching curves, catching, sliding and once in a while making a home run. The best surprise for the Seniors came at the Field Day, held in front of T aconic Hall. Into which both classes entered with spirit and zest. Before long the Seniors discovered that they had to hurry. For the Juniors were their superiors in handling the wheelbarrow, hoop, bow and arrow, and in end- ball. Incidentally the Faculty were surprised to find out how well the Juniors had learned Cfrom their gardening?j to draw the wheelbarrow. The sun had set a long time before the Seniors won the tennis game, which gave them the highest score, and the victory, and perhaps CPD a bit of fear and respect for the mighty Juniors. Wfhen we entered, as Seniors, last fall much more was expected of us and we have tried our best to live up to the expectations. At the dormitory the Seniors defeated the Juniors one eve- ning after study hour. Then the Seniors' team soundly Htrouncedi' the Juniors in stationary. The Juniors stood as if spell-bound at the way the Seniors used their hands, legs and heads to guard a circle yet never CJD had a foul called for over guarding or getting into the circle. As Seniors, we were also taught how to manage, a class and the duties of a referee. Quickly we learned to sound a noiseless whistle. And 'willingly CPD the rest of the class suffered injustice as every new referee took the 'whistle to have charge of the game. Again the class gave an exhibition to raise funds for the class treasury. Our time was limited for practicing but a creditable showing was made and a neat sum earned. At the spring term some of the girls, felt lonesome and ill- used when it was announced that we must teach inthe after- NORMALOGUE , 67 noon. But We soon learned that a difficult task performed before a pleasant one gave more pleasure. For two years we have shown rare CPD ability and perse- verance. And the future classes must not censure us for dis- playing such ability in gym. We know and realize the high standards we have established and how hard the future classes will have to strive to keep within our standard. But do not try too hard because no other class can accomplish what the class of 1916.could. -Mary Louise Dempsey.

Good bye! A little while ago when you gave us a cordial welcome to the school, our greetings were those of strangers, but during the brief interval in which our lives have been associated with you here, friendships have developed, which will not be soon for- gotten. Here, within the fostering care of our own, excellent Normal school, you have been aided in the formation of new ideals, that doubtless you did not possess when it received you. As you go out into the world is it your purpose to exemplify in the school room and in your intercourse with pupils and parents of pupils the ideals and principles of the sch-ool you are leaving today? Are you determined that your lives will be so fully influenced by these principles and ideals, that they will, in effect, be an appeal to Alma Mater, similar to that of Ruth of ancient lNIoab, Hlntreat me not-to leave thee, or to return from follow- ing after theef, If this be true, then will come back to you, her inspiring response, YVl1ither thou goest, I will go, and where thou lodgest I will lodge. Verily, though the world is a large place and as we think of its countless human millions, our individual insignificance is rudely forced upon us, yet for each of you, there will be a place to go and a place of lodgment. To what points of the compass will the class of 1916 journey? Many will perhaps seek fields of labor in this dear old Bay State. Others may journey to the white winter lands of the North, some perhaps to the blossoms and sunshine of the South, and still others to the wide rolling prairies of the lVest. But wherever you go and wherever you find lodgment, be it near NORMALOGUE 75 or far away, so long as you seek to honor ,the ideals of Alma Mater, l1er spirit will accompany and dwell with you. The little human creatures of the school room are to be- come the men and women of the future. Of what sort are they to be? When a lady asked a little pupil of a New York city school, what he expected to be when he grew up, he replied, I don't know yet, teacher hasn't got through with mef' Evi- dently he did not expect to be a self made man. Of late we have wondered if this little fellow or anothel like him, should chance to come under the future instruction of any of the present senior class of this Normal school whether psychology would play a prominent part in his making, or whether to him as it has been to some others, who never study it, it would remain a dark and unsolved subject. And then again, we have wondered if he were fashioned according to the plans and specifications of any member of the class graduating today, whether his digestive powers would be equal to five meals per day, and whether those grand and glorious things, his ideals and ideas would ever be able tofrise above crackers. Dear friends, we are made sad at the thought that when we come back in September you will not be with us. No, you will be teaching the young Idea, the proper way to shoot and you will be laying down rules, whether gold, or brass or silver, we dare not prophesy. Yes, you will be measuring out lessons and your sweet authority by the yard, when we return to occupy the places you make vacant for us now. WVe shall return to study among other things that myster- ious, baffling subject psychology and possibly, as you have done, to shake our heads in doubt and say, Alas! lVe know it not. We shall return to humbly tread in your most noble foot prints, having for our encourgament, these lines- Lives of great ones all remind us, Wle can make our lives sublime, And departing leave behind us Foot prints, on the sands of timef, But here we pause at that word, foot prints, pause in doubt and pause to question, whether we the class of 1917, will ever be able to snugly fit number one shoes into number six foot prints. 76 NORMALOGUE VVe imagine this will be a matter of greater difficulty for us, even than to recite psychology, when we haven't looked into a book and wouldn't know the lesson if we did, or to shyly feast on crackers when assembled in the class. Ah! dear Seniors, who perhaps love sleep better than break- fast-yet have been advised to eat five meals per day, even if you only eat a cracker, have you found it really true that bread, or rather crackers, with you-thus eaten in secret is deliciously sweet? -fe However, whether shoes Ht foot prints or foot prints adapt themselves to shoes matters not, we must submit to the inevit- able. lVe must strive to master problems, difiiculties, doubts and fears, and all without a biscuit. Dear friends, as the gates to the future are swinging wide to let you pass, we again bid you one by one farewell, and if by any chance our pathways may never cross again, let us hope that like MacLaren,s good Scotch Domsie and his pupils, we may all umeet some mornin' where the skule never skails, in the kingdom of oor Father. Florence H umphreys. E ZfIa 3Zjg EHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE CIII' 1550, it EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEHEU EEEENMEE 2 HU Ar! ISTORY repeats itself. Surely you have all heard that quotation, and, no doubt, most of you believe it. In some instances that has been true of t.he history of the class of 1916. However, although we have had some of the same events to record which have taken place in the life- time of other classes,there is a vast amount of difference in the Way in which these affairs were carried out. There are also a few happenings to our credit of which no previous class can boast. In order that posterity may fully realize the tremendous importance of this class many of the trials which beset them must be related. On a 'windy Wlednesday afternoon in September, 1914, 'fifty-four slightly frightened but 'thoroughly elated young ladies assembled in Normal Hall and were enrolled as the Class of 1916. Despite our abundance of self-appreciation the next day we commenced to learn that sad lesson which all who leave High School must some day learn, namely, we did not have as much, knowledge as ave t.hought we did, but that was no blot on our honor because we proved our Worth by learning our lesson very quickly. It was not difficult for us to fit ourselves to our new lives as we were a Very accomplished and tactful group of young ladies. If our pillows were soaked with tears at night, no one was one bit the vviser in the morning, another fact which proved our superiority, because you knoiv, great hearts suffer in silencef' Realizing that We Were an honor to the school the Seniors treated us very courteously. But in spite of the superior quality of our members the faculty saw to it that our spirits were suf- Hciently chastened. VVho of us had ever troubled her head about analagous or complementary harmony! Yet Miss Pearson set about to teach us the mysteries of the realm of art and those of us who were not born Millets or Rubens were made miserable by the process. '78 NORMALOGUE VVe likewise discovered that our art education was not the only thing which had been neglected. In the mathematics room, Miss Searle, daily did her best to impress form and number upon our already over worked brain with the result that many a see-me-at-once slip was handed out to unfortunate individuals. As the year wore on many otherwise brave and optimistic people were heard to sigh and say, If I can only pass Arithmetic, how happy I shall be and the cry was taken up by other lips until it became the true Juniorgrefrain. YVe never anticipated trouble in Miss Baright's class because of course we were all prize essay writers and able conversation- alists. Ah, were we? IVell, perhaps, but we discovered that there was much room for improvementg however, that was not our chief trouble in that room. To our disgust and discomfort our instructor began to make dramatists out of our talented class. The results of l1er efforts I,ll not relate to you but will leave to your kind imagination. But we welcomed each rebuff That turned earth's smoothness roughf, As one by one strange things were revealed to us. One day, Mr. Smith took us for -a walk and piloted us down the street to a dump which was covered with weeds. There we had a lesson those much abused and despised plants and it is to be hoped that some children in some rural district will benefit next Fall by the knowledge gained by us that day. Come what come may, A s Time and the hour runs through the roughest dayf' All those agonizing trials merely served to make us what you behold today, a cheerful, brilliant, optimistic group of young women. There was one thing which did a great deal toward softening the trials of these weary days for us and that was the whirl of social events. One morning when we came we found the Seniors gathered in groups talking excitedly together and occasionally casting glances in our direction. It was all mysterious but later in the day we found out the cause. It see'-ned it had always been the custom of the school to give the new class a reception. This NORMALOGUE '79 reception was soon to take place. Our Senior friends were very much worried. How were they going to conduct themselves with the right amount of dignity in the eyes of so many Juniors! At last the affair took place and left no stain on the record of our class. On the contrary it gave them new dignity in the the eyes of their teachers and fellow students. But, rushing on the wings of time came an event which was to test our ability in managing a social affair instead of merely participating in one. lYe were told that we were to give the Seniors a Halloween Party. After many misgivings on our part the Social was given. As to its success we will not be vainglo- rious enough to tell you about it but when you meet a member of last year's class just ask her. When Arbor Day came we planted a tree. It is still alive and we earnestly hope that grief at parting with us will not affect it. Excepting for hard work life was rather quiet all after Arbor Day until June rolled around with its roses. Then we grac- iously gave the Seniors the honor of our capable assistance at their graduation and Class Day exercises. Then when the toil of the year was over we packed our trunks and journeyed homeward for our long vacation, glad in our secret hearts that we were to return as Seniors in the Fall. One by one the golden summer days flitted by until at last September ninth found us occupying the seats of honor in the Assembly Hall. They say t.hat absence makes the heart grow fonder,', which must be true for we were happy to be together again. The following week we took up our duties at the training school. Some of us will never forget our experiences there. A few of the ne'er-to-be forgotten things connected with teaching are lesson plans, often times four pages long, lengthy tete-a- tetes with our room teacher, frowning looks and expressions of disgust in undertones from the children and last but not least, that sinky feeling 'round the heart when we patiently awaited our criticisms at night. Even amidst such trials our unflagging spirits arose and in the darkest hour, if we sought, we were able to 'rind a gleam of light for our own New England poet has told us that ' 1 I I I I I HI I I I I . I I I V. .,,. .,I -I I I cz-up-s-A 4 -A 'un .4- rx. 'I II I I l I '1 'I I i I l 80 NORMALOGUE lVe see what we have the gift of seeing, lVhatever we bring we find. In December, Governor VValsh paid a visit to the school and gave us all a little talk. Although we were the Hrst Senior Class who had the privilege of listening to a real governor in our Assembly Hall, we are generous enough to hope that every succeeding class will have the same honor bestowed on them. The next occurrence of note was the Class Play, T he Prim- rose Path,', given May twelfth wherein some of us proved 'that our Class could do other things beside teach the youth their rule of three. It would never do, however, to tell the effort required to accomplish some of these things. Could you pitch your voice down in your shoes in order to speak like a man in the brave days of old? Could you be cruel to your lover when he came awooing? Could you make love when a whole hall of people were gazing at you? Could you ight a duel if you had hitherto lived a peaceful life? Could you act the part of the fool if you were usually a sensible young lady? I have no doubt but that you could do them all but I think you would find that they required much effort. Try some of them and without a doubt you'll appreciate the 'wonderful talent possessed by our class. The Glee Club Concert was held later but by this time people were no longer surprised at our marvelous successes but they now took them as a matter of course. . Our history would not be complete nor would you thoroughly realize our extreme greatness, if you did not know something of our Psychology class. In that gathering somefactsweretaught to us which hurt our feelings. Did you know that you were an infant until you were about twenty-Eve years of age? W'ell, you are. Perhaps you don't like the idea. lVe didn,t either. VVe discovered that we were related to certain animals such as horses and dogs and also learned many psychological and phil- osophical truths. Heart-broken were we sometimes because it took so much time to learn these things but those Sorrows remembered sweeten the present joy. Tomorrow the last event in our History is to take place. It is the goal toward which we set our eyes two years ago. In , 1 NORMALOGUE 81 the evening of tomorrow we will separate each to go her own way. But deep down in the hearts of us all will be a spot reserved for the memory of our teachers and our school. If the lives of us all are fuller, richer or better it is because of the untiring efforts of our instructors and the ennobling influence of our Alma lVIater. Thus the Class of 1916 bids them both an affectionate farewell, while that class places herself in the hands of Fate but Let Fate do her worst, there are moments of joy, Bright dreams of the past, which she cannot destroy. Which come in the night time of sorrow and care And bring back the features which joy used to wear. Long, long be our hearts with such memories filled! Like the vase in which roses have once been distilled- You may break, you may shatter the vase, if you will, But the scent of the roses will hang 'round it still.

Picking up the book which lay nearest me, I opened it to Dickens, Christmas Carol, and thinking it unlucky to change, I decided to read it, though it was quite inappropriate to the season. I read for a while and upon turning one page I was surprised to Hnd the graduation program of 1916 being used as a book- mark. Taking it up, I read over the girls' names thinking that, though we parted only a few weeks ago, our class was even now scattered, perhaps never to be reunited. I pondered over the names, wondering what the future would bring to each and every one, for I knew that although we were all starting as teachers, time would bring many changes and the future would find many of our classmates in different walks of life. Suddenly I realized that I was not alone in the room, and looking up I saw three girls, sisters, yet how diHerent in appear- ance! The first, Normal Past, of medium height, with shoulders slightly stooped and hair streaked with gray, led the way. Next came Normal Present, tall, straight, and two years the junior of her sister. IVas it my imagination, or did the room suddenly seem brighter when Normal Future, a dainty little maid with dazzl- ing golden hair approached? I asked them to be seated and tell me their mission. By right of age Normal Past spoke first. She told me of a class of fifty.- girls meeting for the first time in the fall of 1914, of their joysgand sorrowsg of their works and pleasuresg of their trials and troubles with Geometry, Cooking, Gymnastics, Psychology and the rest. I NORiMALOGUE 83 Sc-arcely had she ceased speaking when Normal Present took up the story. She spoke to me of their dignity of the pride their parents feel in them: of their curly locks pushed back straight from their foreheads, and their lonesomeness at parting. Was Normal Future so much more talented than her sisters, that I found myself sitting up and eagerly devouring the in- formation she was giving me? What changes 1924 will see in these same girls Sister Present has been telling about! she began. Who would have thought that Katharine O'Connor, after becoming acquainted with a certain Star, would surrender to astronomy? Margaret IVarren, true to her youthful ambition, is the matron of an orphan asylum. And oh! What wonders the Glee Club can work! New York is quite enthused over the appearance of a new operatic singer, Helen Pierce, who has made her star hit with the song, In the lane there is a swain I dearly love myselff, Marguerite Hanlon has become head and sole owner of a Cutlery concern in the Middle IVest, with Vera Brown settled happily nearby. And are all here in the United States? I asked. Oh no! she answered. Violet Lyman and Celestine WVight are neighbors in a small town of Alaska, while Frances Haley has at last realized her dream of 'Chinatown, my Chinatownf And what of Camilla Cole? I inquired. Two years after leaving Normal, Camilla was married to a man named Char. The headlines in the paper read, 'Char- Cole Wedding., Now they are seated around a Hreplace with a few little cinders near bthem, while the embers of their hearth- fires are burning brightly. Laura Flanders has invented a machine which will milk cows and sweep the Hoor at the same time, and has tried it out successfully at the Farming School of Genevieve and Ethel Eno. One of the greatest ventures of the year, a venture which started as a trial and ended as a crowning success is a society 84 NORMALOGUE camp managed by Ellen Corcoran and Thelma Donovan. It is situated at beautiful Windsor Lake and is run for the enter- tainment of the Normal girls. A Henry Ford has taken Marion Bryant into partnership because of her invention of an attachment by which this auto can be heard only a quarter of a mile away. Florence Berard, after studying for awhile, had become a dentist in a comb factory, putting teeth in broken combs. A new comic opera called 6The Rosebud Garden of Girls' has for its leading lady, Florence Humphries. Other members of the cast are Sadie Delphy, Beatrice Greene and Minnie Rumley and Thenis Engel is leader of the orchestra. The most wonderful playground in VVestern hlassachusetts where Electrical swings are the main feature, is now being man- aged by Gladys Fraleigh. YVith a well-earned laurel wreath crowning her intellectual brow, Gladys Leonard has acquired fame and fortune by com- piling a 'Dictionary of 1001 Excuses For All Occasionsf of which there was an unprecedented sale. Olive W'arren is owner of a watch factory and employs thousands of people to make faces. And has women suffrage been overlooked by our brilliant class?', I inquired. S No, answered Normal Future. CCWOIHCH have at last come into their rights and Massachusetts boasts of Vice- President Urban, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and Senator Wiilmott from Adams. Mary Dempsey, having acquired a certain fondness for 'Bills,' has become a cashier in abank because there is money in it. Irene Kelley and Janet Rooney are Red Cross Nurses working in the trenches saving men. Statistics show that one hundred female applicants from the United States are on the waiting list. Good-bye, Girls, Iim Throughf, was Diary Dickinson's motto as she settled down quietly the other side of the tunnel. Through the efforts of Margaret Fallon and Katherine Hamer, Blackinton now boasts a novel roof-garden and moving' picture theatre which gets its films from the Killars Company, two of the actresses which are Dixie Dale, formerly Gertrude NORMALOGUE 85 Kelley, and Minnie Murdock, the modern Mary Pickford. Between reels, solos are rendered by the Melba of the Berkshires, Mary Taft, made famous as the composer of the popular song, 'If the Trees Around the Flatiron Could Talk.' And what of Grace McKinstry?', I inquired. Grace has followed up her Normal training and a head of a Kindergarten School in Springfield is assisted by Florence Moore and Lila Feeley. Flora Corrigan has made a trip around the world trying to discover new lands, and has not yet given up 'Hopef As supervisor of cooking in a prominent domestic science school, Mary Durnin is winning great laurels for herself teaching young wives to cook the things that mother used to make, and thus to retain the undying affection of their husbands. Jennie Rudnick, wife of a prominent citizen, has started a gymnastic school for girls in New York, educating them in the gentle art of breaking necks and putting limbs out of joint in the nost modern and painless methods. The most popular contractor of the age is Doris Oliver, and though most contractors like to build of stone, Doris prefers 'Wood,' which she buys almost wholly from the 'F orest' of Esther lNIorse. Her latest piece of work has been the building of large 'Hall' for Anna McClatchy in which Edith Johnson and Leah Howarth are to conduct a dancing class for the girls of Agnes Fallon's boarding-school. The latest dances being taught are the 'Taconic Toddle, and the 'Lunchroom IViggle,' a 'soup'- ercilious slide. I think there is someone else, I said. Oh, yesf, she answered. Artists are raving over Elsa Meister whose drawings and paintings are said to be worth thousands of dollars. She ceased speaking, and after a mo1nent's silence I ques- tioned. Is that all?

Upon more careful examination we discover that each bar in this marvelous chain represents a class, and it reveals the fact that from each link depends a picture. Many of the pictures hanging from that chain have been carried in its progress so distantly into the past, that we, the class of 1916 are unable to discern even their most vague out- lines, but they can never be carried so far into the ever receding years that their scenes shall fail to live before the mental eyes of their living participants. As members of the present graduating class, however, our eyes naturally turn to the new link in the chain inscribed with the figures H1914-'16, for those are really interesting Hgures to us. Selfish? Yes, it may be. But it is natural, and only human after all. Those Hgures mean something to us: They represent La period in our lives that so long as life and reason survive shall continue unforgotten. NORMALOGUE 91 Strange to say, unlike its fellows we find our link possesses more than ordinary weight. We cannot consistently ascribe this corpulence of our membership, nor are we so insufferably vain as to publicly attribute it to superior mentality. Please re- member our private opinions are only privately expressed. Here we prefer to assign as a reason for undue weight, lack of sluggishness, laziness and ambition. Do not laugh at our fail- ings and frailties but kindly remember that- There is so much good in the worst of us And so much bad in the best of us That it hardly behooves any of us To smile or laugh at the rest of us. Now we come to the picture swinging from our glistening link. Ah, look, there we are, girls with sunny locks, girls with tresses as deeply sombre as midnight, and lassies with hair of brown, bending studiously, and sometimes patiently but oftener impatiently over long lessons in psychology, mathematics, etc., from 4.15 to 10.15 p. m. with a brief interval from 6 to 6.30 for the hasty consumption of our evening repast. At 10.15 all lights must disappear, and as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be -only darkness after 10.15 p. m. The second picture shows us, not with frowning faces nor with tasks to be performed. In this scene the time is the early or possibly unearly hours of the morning watch. The dormitory is wrapped in slumber profound and steady, and we may well imagine, not altogether still, and, dear friends of the audience although many of its inmates had truly musical voices, memory brings back to our ears the sonoriic tones which many, many times has issued from the distended mouths of those self same lassies closely embraced in the soothing arms of staid old Morpheus and those tones were-ewell, to say the least, not the tones of high class prima donnas, or if they were the voices of those prima donnas were sadly, deplorably out of tune! Not withstanding our calmly heroic endurance of this nerve wreck- ing disturbance on the part of our sleeping friends, yet when we were faithfully awakened according to our written request posted conspicuously on the outward portals of our halls of slumber the Somnolent class had the temerity to awaken from their dreams and deafening snores, and bring complaint against us for those rappings at the doors. 99 NORMALOGUE Once again behold us-Ah! but what approaches here? Nothing, dear friends, but the Junior link, calmly advancing to take our position of grave and reverend Seniors and while our own grand link, with its masterpiece of art moves outward and away, this other bar, the largest of them all, bearing the inscription H1915--'1'7,' with its chromo swinging idly to and fro, comes slowly into view. As we glance at this pictorial attempt we have only time to note that its expectation is as yet neither perfect nor complete. Now permit us to offer you two bits of council drawn from Senior wisdom and experience. First extinguish your lights at 10.15 p. m. that you may avoid a battle royal with all its noise and clatter when the devoted, much blamed, but conquering monitor compels the full observance of the law, and second, guard well and carefully cherish that grand ennobling book, the Seniors favorite, dear, old Psychology. Seriously, dear Juniors, please remember that as yours has thus far been the largest class to enter the school, it is possible for it, as it is its duty, to attain a high degree of perfection, if its members will carefully avail themselves of the counsel of our excellent faculty. They have helped you hitherto. Per- mit them to complete the shaping and polishing of your link, and when at last their work is done, and it is moving out, as ours today is passing, your hearts will be filled with satisfaction and with praise of the 'teachers who have prepared you for your profession so thoroughly and well. Ladies and Gentlemen, members of the faculty, and of the Junior class, our tasks are done, and it only remains for us to speak the sad, sweet word 'ggood-byei' and as our ship of destiny glides out from this fair haven toward lifeis wide, restless sea, we lean against that good shipis rail and gaze at the receding harbor, and as your handkerchiefs, like white banners of peace and goodwill flutter in our direction, our own wave back to you, and we say- Blest be the links that bind Our hearts to memory's shore, To school and friends we leave behind, And days that are no more. f I il . ffl ling Qbratinn NCE more the time has come when another class must bid their Alma Mater farewell. As has been the custom in the past to plant the vine, so dear to us all, the ivy, we, the class of 1916, are now gathered here for that memor- able occasion, that we may leave for those who follow us, a memory dear and sacred to us all. As the tender green ivy climbs to the beauti- ful wall which it so closely covers, even so, we shall cling to our Alma Mater. And, like the vine, still climbing and reaching out, we too, shall reach out for all that is helpful and aspire to that which is highest and best. All common things, each day's events, That with thelfhour begin and end, Our pleasures and our discontents, Are rounds by which we may ascend. We have not wings, we cannot soar, But we have feet to scale and climb By slow degrees, by more and more, The cloudy summits of our time. Among the virtues which the ivy symbolizes is faith, a vir- tue needed by all as we start out on lifeis long journey. We must learn never to give up, but with our faith still press on, even though the way may sometimes seem dark and dreary. Tennyson says We have but faith: we cannot know, For knowledge is of things we see, And yet we trust it comes from Thee, A beam in darknessg let it grow. 94 NORMALOGUE As the ivy beautifies the Wall which it covers and so ten- derly shields, so we with our love Will shield and protect humanity, of a weaker nature, around us. Like the roots of the ivy may our love grow deeper and firmer each year and may We give out that love to those around us. For life that is real consists, not in taking, but giving and we get out of life exactly as much as We put into it. If you give to the world the best you have, The best will come back to you. So to-day, dear friends, we plant the ivy and may our class spirit be planted with it, as a symbol of our love and loyalty to our Alma Mater, and as the seasons come and go, may this verdant, vine remind those Who remain of the love and loyalty of the class of 1916.

III ,lNIid the sunshine and the cloud, We have bravely struggled thru, 'Till with learning, are endowed, By the help of teachers true. IV But before we go our way, And we leave our mater fair, We will plant the ivy vine, And commit it to your care.

NORMALOGUE VI And as now We all depart, And we go upon life's way, May the sunshine fill each heart, As it strives to 'Win the day. VII But the sun Won't always shine, As We journey here below, So we must just like the vine, Keep our faith here as we go. VIII And the vine must also cling, To the Wall which enfolds, So must we to best ideals, For 'tis those our life 'will mould. IX For in life we must not take, Nor must seek for praise, or gain, But to give, to share, to love, And to serve with might and main.

I thought you couldnit have forgotten that memorable affair. Yes, it occurred Tuesday evening, the eleventh of October, 1915, and Well we might remember that evening for it 'vvas the night before a holi- day, one of those rare happenings for N. A. N. S. Remember how We all petitioned to have that holiday come on Monday so we could hie to our far distant homes for a couple of days? Alas, our efforts were in . . . l vain, but why? That was the question. lVe all Went diligently to school on Monday and then came study hour Monday eve., however, for some reason no one felt like studying the night before that holiday. A group of us gathered in room 416 after dinner to talk about the weather, etc., and 'then we began to 'wonder what we could do for ex- citement. That week the play Graustark had been running down at the movies and most of us had been to see it. Someone suggested that we try to play that, another said, Why not have just the 'wedding scene?,' That appealed favorably to us all, 102 NORMALOGUE but now :the question was, who should be the bride, and who the groom? Of course these were such important parts that no one would speak up and say, I will, for fear of offend- ing her neighbor, so We 'wrote out the diiferent names on slips of paper, put thesein a basket, and ,,,,,..,,,,,,.a., then each girl drevv a slip and the problem was easily solved. Thenis was to be bride g Fran, groom- f'- -vvvusnw-Jn 9 Olive, brides-maid, Trudy, b e st m a n g Camilfa, the llinisterg Elsa, the brideis mother, Vera, the bride's father, Gert and Helen, maids of honor g Esther, train bearer 5 Marion, ring bearer, Flossie, flower girl, and Dick and Yi ushers. When the parts were all decided we scurried to our rooms to make ready our costumes. Olive and Helen were to Write the invitations and slip them under all the other girls, doors. The invitations read something like this: Nat Goodwin lYeds Lillian Russel Tonight 9.30 Serving Room Later 'we decided, this being such a grand occasion, that the reception hall would be a much more appropriate room, so there Was Where the Wedding took place. sff.'i I ,,.-asf NORMALOGUE i03 we-75592 Yes, certainly 'we had plenty of time in which to prepare, the Whole of study hour, and I'm sure most of those taking part spent the time in preparation and never thought of study. At the close of study hour all was ready. lVe formed in line in the corridor on third floor so that the bridal procession might go down through the halls. No one would ever have recognized us, actually we hardly knew each other. You have no idea what costumes you can make up till you have tried: Water paints, ink, crayon, and various articles of wearing ap- parel will work miracles. There Was the bride with a handsome pink complexion, dressed in a beautiful White evening QD gown with a flowing lace train, which once had been draped at the window. She carried a bouquet of roses, that had adorned a hat, and sprigs of evergreen obtained on a recent Greylock trip. The groom looked very manly in hisxstiff collar, 'white even- ing QD trousers and long tailed coat. He had a pert litttle mustache on his upper lip, thanks to black paint and an artistic school-mate. The brides-maid wore a broad hat, a soft, meshy gown which clearly revealed her swan like neck, and she carried sprigs of evergreen. The best man looked like a little dude in his beaver hat,long tailed coat, tight fitting white trousers, orange silk stockings, evening slippers. He also had a pert little mustache similar to that of the groom. 104 NORMALOGUE The minister came forward with stately dignity, wearing a long, brown robe with a wide border. This robe had many times protected him from cold during his slumber, but it was its Hrst appearance in public. The bride,s mother was a tall stately lady who showed a great deal of rhythm and harmony in her choice of dress. The father was a short, demure looking little Dutchman, who I fear was rather hen pecked. A few sofa pillows had given him a very stout form, and a fringed paper prominently perched on his chin made an excellent beard. The maids of honor, charming young ladies with lovely pink and white complexions and heavy eye brows, were dressed in handsome white reception gowns and fashionable broad brimmed hats. The train bearer and the ring bearer, sweet little girls with long tresses caught back with large pink bows, wore simple little evening gowns. The flower girl wore a dainty green figured dress and a large hat with a rolling brim. The ushers looked like stalwart Englishmen with their eye spectacles, jockey caps, white tight Httingv knee breeches and dark coats. As we formed in line strains of the wedding march were distinctly heard from the first floor, and soon we marched stately down the stairs. Wlhen we entered the reception hall NORMALOGUE 105 is' Q 4 Q ,. 11 We saw a goodly company assembled, some dressed in fine costumes especially for the occasion. The marriage ceremony took place before the fire place amidst the circle of guests. The minister and groom took their places and then the bride came forward leaning on her father,s arm. Never did a minister use more fluent phrases or more meaning gestures, than Rev. Mr. Cole used on this occasion. After the happy couple were united, the wedding reception was given, the victrola furnishing music, and every one, bridal party and guests, joined in for a merry little dance. It was true that trains and stout bodies rather interfered in the dancing but no one minded that, and 'ive continued to make merry until the fatal time, 10.10, arrived when we had to hurry to our rooms. I'm sure 'there 'vvasn,t a person who was in the bridal party or the audience, 'Who had not laughed until her sides fairly ached. Such moments when We entirely forgot our duties did us worlds of good, and they are moments that will not soon be forgotten. The next morning the bride, groom, and whole Wedding train had their pictures taken on the lawn in front of the dormi- tory, and most everyone borrowed those Elms. Girls 'svho have those snap shots, if you ever feel blue just take out your snap shot book, turn to the 'Wedding pictures, and you'll laugh out- right in spite of yourselves. Vera Brown '.

However we all were attracted by one of the group, a very tall, distinguished-looking gentleman, but even his presence did not stop the game because the next basket was to decide the winning team. After watching our play a few moments our visitors went on. Soon after, the following note came to Bliss Skeele: The Seniors will report in the Assembly Hall at once. Governor lYalsh is to speakf, Still in our gym suits we all hustled over to school and there the Juniors and Faculty were as- sembled. Before long the distinguished looking gentleman, who had visited us in the gymnasium and whom we had barely noticed, came in and was introduced to us by Mr. Smith as our Governor-The Honorable David I. VValsh. Imagine, not only our surprise, but our chagrin for having thus ignored our honorable guest in the gymnasium! Never- theless we showed our respect and patriotism later by applaud- ing with the greatest enthusiasm. The Governor spoke to us in a way that we never shall forget-his full, clear voice ringing out in the intense quiet of the room. His message revealed to us what our state is actually doing for education and we were made to feel, as never before, its power and greatness. Soon our thoughts were carried out of the narrow groove of school to a larger realiza- tion of our State and our responsibility, as prospective teachers, to it. Never before had we been more inspired. At once we all were filled with the greatest desire to become the best possible teachers. This is the first time in the history of our school that we have been honored by a visit from the Governor of the State and this unexpected visit of our chief magistrate did us so much good that we hope other classes may have the same privilege. -Leah Howarth.

Therefore, we shall endeavor to make you all acquainted with our happy life. At 6.30 sharp, the rising bell rings, calling us forth to our daily duties. We go to breakfast, then hustle back to our rooms and blow the pussy cats under the couches to remain until Saturday. At 8 o'clock we start to accomplish in an hour, that which we should have spent three hours on the night before. Next we wander over to chapel and may be seen sitting there, waiting patiently for Mr. Murdock to announce our favorite hymn Chimj God Send Us Menf' After listening to an inspiring talk by our Principal, our ranks break for the rest of the day, each going to her ioiwn duty. At 12 o'clock we all make a grand rush for the dormitory table which contains our only mail Cmalej. Shortly after, we havellunch, a meal which we enjoy more and more as the days grow less. We are kept busy, then, until four o'clock, when we usu- ally wander down street to see the sights. A At five minutes of six we all begin to primp, so as to be ready when the long-waited for dinner bell rings at six. Ah, how good it all tastes! Each night a trifle better than the night before. After this delightful repast, everyone indulges in some sort of sport.before study hour. This year a student Council has been chosen to regulate dormitory affairs. Since this election, in order to move during study hour, we have to peek up and down and sideways- of all corridors to be sure that none of the ten are watching. Often- times in our efforts to avoid any member of the Council, we deliberately CPD run into a teacher and feel disgraced because we left our room to see about some studying??? Saturday mornings the whole household is in a turmoil. Everyone is sweeping, dusting, mopping, washing, ironing, and, in fact, doing a countless number of things at once. 'l t l .E - 108 NORMALOGUE Occasionally something real exciting happens. One thing that we all enjoy is the preparation for a midnight spreadf' and then the very feed itself. Just before a vacation there are usually a number of 'these taking place. On the sly, during study hour, different ones are making salads, sand- wiches, drinks, opening olives and pickles and so forth. In- variably some sad catastrophe occurs. Perhaps some pickle bottle breaks and the juice flies all over the room. Now all of a sudden, a gentle tap comes at the door. In less than two seconds all of the Hhelpersi' have disappeared. Some are hiding in the closets, others are back of the screens, while still others are under the beds. All of the eatables suddenly vanish, and the hostess goes to the door, and greets a teacher. She comes in and proceeds to talk at length about some inportant business, to the poor girl who is trying to control her laughter which is caused by little giggles which burst forth from various parts of the room. The teacher Hnally leaves, and the girls rush out and start work with a new vigor. Now, the most exciting thing of all is the fire-drill. Every- one is peacefully sleeping, when that alarm rings. In a second all have jumped up, dressed, formed lines in the corridors, and tiled down the fire-escapes. Upon our return into the main corridor Mr. Murdock asks us if we talked, laughed, failed to hear the bell, and so on. As soon as possible We as- cend the stairs, fall back into our beds, and think about the excitement the rest of the night. Thus, day in and day out, the Heeting moment.s are passed happily by the Normal Girls, who occupy the famous yellow building on the hill. N ESTHER A. DIORSE THELMA BI.

Up to this time we had been very much on our dignity, for we had come 'together as strangers under the sobering thought that we were to be developed and turned out, as digniied school marms. Now we had a chance for some real fun which we met with zest. We had kept our dinner party a secret and as we entered the dining room the eyes of eighty or more teachers and stu- dents stared at us as though we were intruders. Then when they recognized us, laughter and clapping rang out through the room. This is how the Van Asterbuilts appeared. Grandfather, who was Helen VVells and whose face beamed with radiance under his silver locks, was dressed in a quiet, dark suit and carried a cane. Grandmother, Bliss Pearson whom we had invited for the occasion, appeared in conventional costume, a black silk gown and white lace cap. Mo'ther, Mrs. Van Etten was gowned in a purple dress which added to her stately and dignified manner which was so highly respected by her children. Father, Bessie Legate, wore white 'trousers with a dark blue coat which fitted to correct lines. The eldest daughter, in real life, lNIiss Helen Pierce, wore a charming creation of blue French satin embellished with white foX, and her beauty was further set off by rare family jewels. The old maid aunt, who was Miss Slaiger, wore a tight fitting basque of brocaded velvet. Her hair was arranged in a most becoming CPD way so typical of some, who reach this stage in life. Jack, Genevieve Eno, the overgrown son wore high collar and smart Norfolk suit with knickerbockers. A Dina, the colored waitress, who was Vera Brown wore a plaid dress, red tie, white apron, stockings of two colors, blue and orange, and a black curly wig. This description cannot l 1 1 if r l I A 6 5 E l U F .V ,li 31 l .1 .I li. it 110 NORMALOGUE do justice to her pictureg to appreciate it you should have seen her. Mary and Hattie, Daisy Turner and Rose Hickey, two very dignified students, quite surprised us all. Before this, they never forgot for a moment their training from youth- never spoke till spoken to and never asked for a second help- ing of anything. But now how different they acted! These two playmate sisters brought their doll and teddy bear and they just couldn't sit still. They stood up in their chairs and flourished their dolls in every direction. Mother wore an anxious look and father's resources as a disciplinarian were taxed to the uttermost. Finally they were such very naughty little girls that, Dina, the colored maid had to take them from the table. The fun We had impersonating this family and the fun the rest of the dining room had 'Watching us, I am sure no one of us is likely to forget. -Genevieve Eno. LQZZM' 2313 EHEEBEHEEEEEEEEEEEHERBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHEEEEEEE Ihr em 'EEIHIP HEEHHEEEEEEEUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHEEEEEEEEHEB EEEEEEEBE EE EEE EE U U OU ask, VVhat was the most enjoyable social evening spent at Taconic Hall? You shall have a unanimous and direct response. Doubtless, your mind and active imagination has already satisfied you, but, we must permit no mistakes on such an occasion as this. Though the occurrence seems extremely improbable and almost impossible, and, though you may question the Verity of this statement, we all assure you that the actual man dance, held February 5th, 1916 Was the most inspiring and long to-be-remembered event of the whole two years spent 'within the sacred and protecting 'walls of the dormitory. In September We had been promised an informal party some- time during the middle of the school year. VVhy We remembered it, it is needless to assert. It Was just before Christmas When all through the house a rumor began to be carried back and forth by the Zephyrs trying to arouse interest concerning the promised entertain- ment which We Were in hopes 'would take the form of a dance. Of course, everybody was getting ready to go home, so the question was dropped until we returned in January to industri- ously resume our studies. How easily, then could be read on each countenance the expression of expectation that something was to happen. No one seemed easy or ready to go to work until the question which rested in each mind was settled. Con- sequently, a house meeting was held and a motion was made and immediately seconded that We request to be allowed a Hman dance in February. A large majority vote led us to elect a committee consisting of both Juniors and Seniors to go to Mr. Murdock and make a plea, as it were, according to our wishes. Among the many privileges which we desired one was that we be permitted to dance until the late hour of eleven o'clock, and to our unspeakable surprise and joy it was granted. Likewise, many of our other suggest.ions were favored so that We began 'without delay to prepare for the great event. Engraved invitations, limited to two apiece, were sent out to Q P+ la i 6 L 1 n. lt W1 1 . L l r-In V ilu lu I 112 NORMALOGUE very select friends, gowns were procured for the occasion, and all necessaries were looked out for long before hand. Nat.urally, obstructions arose which disappointed and gladdened us al- ternatively, but, finally, everything turned out favorably. Next came the arrangement of the programs for the evening. 'What a success that proved to be! A certain few of us were far-sighted enough to comprehend that unless some arrange- ment were made for becoming acquainted in a quick, but orderly manner, during the evening that an inestimable amount of time 'would be practically wasted, when we might be using it ad- vantageously as the melodious music filled the hall. A scheme was thereby worked up in which the girls grouped together and filled out cards indicating with whom each number was to be danced, 'while a corresponding card was made out for each gentleman guest. The interval between January 5th and February 5th seemed like a decade, even though we knew that good things come slowly. At length, the eventful evening with all its splendor and gorgeous array arrived. Luckily, it was on Saturday night. If otherwise, we 'willingly acknowledge that books, lesson plans and all forms of academic and professional work would have been intentionally ignored. Could you blame us? lVhen the clock tolled out the hour of six and the dinnerbell rang such a sigh swept through the hall as was never heard before! How could nearly a whole hour be taken up in the dining-hall when every minute was necessary in getting ready to make a pleasing appearance at eight? On the other hand, how could we endure such a wild form of unaccustomed dissipation for three whole hours without nourishment. So, shortly, we were at our various places, nervously eating, or pretending to eat, and endeavoring to effect a conversation, though it was very evident that our thoughts were on the coming festivities. Seven o'clock found us busily engaged in dolling up',, and you would surely agree that the expression is well chosen if you might have had the opportunity to cast even a glance at the various styles of hair-dressing and gowns, as we tremblingly proceeded to line-up in the main corridor one hour later. Bell after bell rang, man after man entered the precious gates NORMALOGUE 113 to our temporary home, and there was many a sigh of relief as warm greetings were exchanged. One more ordeal and a very pleasant time 'would begin. This ordeal consisted in passing through the receiving line with our friends to be inspected and surveyed by a committee of three, which, to be sure, was a remarkable improvement upon former practice. YVhat a trying amount of work had been experienced from the time the first thought was given to the affair up till the time we stood under the dazzling lights of the hall! No wonder there were so many unprepared lessons! No time was lost after we were once within hearing of the music. The programs, which had been provided, prohibited any and all mural decorations, much to the intense satis- faction of everybody. Card tables were placed in another room for all those who sought a more quiet form of entertainment. At 9.30 intermission allowed us an opportunity to enjoy light refreshments in the dining-hall, after which the completion of the Heeting evening's amusement was enthusiastically resumed. Eleven o'clock approached only too soon! It was the last dance and signs of Hbreaking up had already been set on foot by a few of our guests who demonstrated an example of what others were to follow, lest they be too late in escaping through the mighty strongholds of our hall. Every heart was bubbling over with joy and satisfaction, but, still, Slowly and sadly we bade them good-night, And we watched them as with gloom they faded from sight. With fondness and pleasure we now recall this charming event and with heartiness and gratefulness to each other, to our advising principal, to our encouraging matron, to our helping faculty, and to all who assisted in bringing about success, we give our sincerest gratitude. May the future bring mirth And many meetings of such Worth. Ellen T. Corcoran. L ii E H! lil H B E B E1 EE!

It was called The Ab- normal Berkshire Taconic Barnyard Show and was given in the gymnasium by the members of Miss Pearson's table. A week before the event all sorts of posters, which aroused great curiosity, especially the one about the free jitney ride appeared on the bulletin board. The night of the show all those who wished to attend received tickets from Mrs. Van Etten. Thus it happened that shortly before eight. o'clock a great crowd assembled at the head of the south stairway, as only two or three were allowed to go down at one time. Lo and behold! when they reached the basement what should they see but the jitneys which were to take them to the gym, These jitneys, which were run by a few of the performers, were none other than the wheel- barrows used by Guss! In order to see the show, everyone both teachers and girls, was obliged to take a jitney ride, and the laughing and screaming accompanying these rides could be heard all over the dormitory. When all the audience was seated, Miss Pearson, the leader made a speech in which she told all about the show, after which the performance began. The first thing on the pro- gram was the parade. Those in the parade were as follows: Mary Dickinson, a trained horse, Camilla Cole, a farmer, Sarah Clark, 'a rooster, Ethel Garland, a donkey, Eleanor Hohner, a clown, Catherine Carney, a bearg Agnes Keefe and Elsa Meister, ostriches. After the parade each one had a special feat to perform. First, the ostriches appeared before the audience and bowed, as the leader called them by name and then explained that some of the feathers plucked from these ostriches were for sale. Next, all the performers sang I want to Go Back to Michigan, while the rooster perched high on the vertical ladder crowed and crowed. After that the farmer drove the donkey around the Gym . This was followed by the grace- !'7 116 NORMALOGUE ful dancing of the bear to the tune sung by the leader. It was then announced that the bear would climb the rope if there was any gentlemen present who would be willing to give fifty cents. As it happened to the great surprise of everyone a really truly gentleman stepped from the audience and pre- sented the fifty cents. This was so unexpected that for a few moments pandemonium reigned but the bear stepped bravely forth and under the circumstances did her part Well. Then, to the music of the victor, the trained horse galloped around. Then it was announced that the clown would per- form a great stunt on a barrel if he could get enough persons to support the barrel. But this proving impossible it was decided to abandon the idea and present the next number on the program which was the singing of The Monk by the Whole company, a performance which greatly delighted the audience. The last thing on the program was the procession of mourners who grieved over the loss of the animals that had once belonged to the show. Afterwards general dancing was enjoyed until bedtime. 253723-ff? CKMTBJ I 1 Y 'T -5.05 Y 917731 ER Gllaza Snug We love to sing of N. A. N. S.
