A T bf 'H 'Til - W x x A 11 N J NOTHER year has passed by, and again dear Normal sends forth from her halls her graduates. Two happy years have We spent here, but as graduation day approaches there is a feeling of sadness as well as joy. There is joy because it brings us to the goal We sought after and to a higher rung on the ladder of success. We are now to go out into a bigger, broader field of work. Our opportunity to prove ourselves capable of coping with the tasks of the World and proving ourselves Worthy of the trust placed in us by our Alma Mater, is before us. There is sadness intermingled with this joy because We are now leaving behind us the happy school days, dear to every student. The pleasant experiences will now become mere memories, friends must be separated as each individual seeks his Work, but let us hope that the friendships formed while here will be bound closer by the parting. Dear Normal will forever remain to each graduate a storehouse of delightful experiences and fond memories. It is our hope that We may ever be loyal to our Alma Mater, and to all the ideals for which she stands. 10 xll . qnqf ids uct, NAU: -ich: nam, ' S'.d Lm' 'Ugg 'naikdit 1 ff X X .,-f--'-lk If -WA - A f ,--Y 3-'N-41. ,gm -v-ggxfvjgil 1'7g1x Q J..-z QQ? ,fx AS ff Sinlvxgss f w. f ' KX ff jfrank jf. fllllurhuck f' THE FACULT The heights of great men reached and kept Were not attained by sudden flight, But they, while their companions slept, lVcre toiling upward in the night. Longfellow. ll O the Juniors we would say, Do not complete your opin- ions of Mr. Murdock until you have taken psychology with him. Form your own opinions, and do not let any one else form them for you. For although you will have met him in chapel nearly every morning for a year and a half, not until your final half year will you realize the depths of his teaching capacity. Une who has heard him tell of his trip to Atlantic Citymust know that he is as keen an observer in the outside world as in our own Nomual School. Always he thinks of what may or may not be best for the girls. Those who have gone out from among us testify to the lasting qualities of his interest in the wel- fare of his pupils, and more than one girl who has found dithculties arising in her chosen work of life has been guided and helped by his wise advice. Life teems with incidents which make us realize the paucity of even the widest vocabulary to express the esteem we hold for those who influence us toward higher ideals, and in this case we one and all confess to the insutliciency of words to do our affections jus- tice. Qlhett 6. fflhrihge NYONE who has not been in Mr. Eldridge's classes has missed the inspiration which we are sure to receive there. . His ready sympathy and consideration for us when we thought we were overworked made our tasks lighter. Was he not always willing to give us an extension of time for our projects? Neverthe- less. the final day always came. He has a keen sense of humor and made our classes brighter by enjoyable bits of literature. What would our Greylock trips have been with- out Mr. Eldridge to make them interesting and delightful for us? We wish him the best of success in future years. UR good natured teacher with the well-seasoned smile! Kind, considerate, interesting and inspiring, we always find Mr. Smith the same. After graduating from Norwich High School and Norwich Training School, he taught in the district schools of Kirk, South Plymouth and elsewhere. In 1904 he was graduated from Syracuse University with an A.B. degree. Again he taught, iirst as vice-principal, and later as principal at Freeport, N. Y., and then at Westfield, N. Y. In connection with this teaching, he has done post-graduate work in Teachers' College at Columbia University, taking courses in History, Philosophy and Education. Since coming to North Adams, Mr. Smith has taught History, Geography, History of Education, Economics, Zoology, Botany, and has also had charge of the garden work at our school and also at the training school. 12 fllllatp louise iBatigbt ERHAPS some day you will walk past the lit- erature room in North Adams Normal School, and, looking in, you will see all the students sitting spellbound, listening to someone who is reading. It is Miss Baright, of course, for who else can read so well? How pleasant and interesting her classes were when all of the assigned lesson had been carefully prepared. Miss Baright has done her part to educate the people of the United States, for she has taught in the South, the far West, the Middle West, and now is teaching in the East. She is always ready for fun and has an appro- priate story or joke for any occasion. Although Miss Baright has a great amount of work of her own to do, she finds time to plan and carry out special entertainments to help the Seniors for which that class is very grateful. How we should like to hear her debate on the affirmative side of this question: Resolved, That Equal Suffrage Should Become a Law by Constitutional Amendment! flllarp Qngelina Reardon ISS Pearson is our art teacher who has won our love and respect for, as you know, actions speak louder than words and art is ex- pressed thru action. If the members of the Senior Class of 1918 do not emulate in their lives, onward, consistent movement, hannony, rhythm, and bal- ance, it will be the fault of the lesson plans on the Sargent book of drawing Whichsapped our vitality in our youth. Strange as it may seem. Miss Pear- son's favorite color is a vivid yellow, of the suffra- gette shade, not tint. She was graduated from the Boston Art School and has studied both in this country and abroad for a number of years. 13 Bertha Shnles O this dear teacher we all owe many fond re- membrances, for we were under her instruc- tion for only a short time, when she left us to take up a greater l1ne of work in Pittsfield. As an in- structor 1n Household Arts she gained our love and esteem and to her every member of the class of 1918 extends her best wishes for all future success in the noble patriotic self-sacrificing work of enlisting American womanhood in the Army of Food Con- Bnsa GE. beads ISS Rosa E. Searle, teacher of mathematics and music, graduated from VVestfield Normal School, and later took summer courses in Music in Boston and Evanston, Illinois. See me is a very familiar sight to juniors and it would seem strange to receive a paper back without this distinguishing mark. She has indeed striven to pound mathematics into our sometimes dense minds. Moreover, Miss Searle has Worked earnest- ly and without discouragement to make us good singers, with tones in our heads, not in our throats. All year she has helped us in our Glee Club rehearsals and to her is due all praise for our success. Xi, ..:f-if Q I ..n 14 Zfaannab Bernina! waterman AVE you ever been sent out to rural to sub- stitute? If you have, then you know how rather frightened and doubtful you were until Miss Waterman saw you and in her cheerful manner dispelled your fears, and with kindliest suggestions and helps started you off feeling entirely reassured and happy. Miss Watennan is a graduate of Bridgewater Normal School, and took special courses at Hyannis Normal School, Massachusetts Agricultural Col- lege, and Butler College, Indianapolis. She taught in the elementary grades in Taunton and Chelsea, Mass., and for two years was principal of a public training school in Indianapolis. Miss Waterman's teaching experience also includes her work in the summer normal schools at Johnson and Castleton, Vermont. Now she supervises our rural training schools, and since 1912 has directed our Extension Department Jlflts. Embed ll She Walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies, And all that's best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes, lk III Ik wk Ik lk And on that cheek, and o'er that brow, So soft, so calm, yet eloquent, The smiles that win, the tints that glow, But tell of days in goodness spent. Lord B yron. E, who know Mrs. Graves by being in her classes, or having had the pleasure of sitting at her table, are truly sorry for anyone who has not had that pleasure. It is our Wish that she may enjoy all the happiness possible. XXX 15 F I Q l l 5 fl 1. 'z ll ll a I G ,Ll ri ,ll 'E 4.

We find fellowship in good measure, And happiness lurketh near,- That's why it is our pleasure To render our tribute here. ISS Varrell is a graduate of Amesbury High School, Mary Hemenway Department of Household Arts at Framingham Normal and has attended Simmons Summer School. Her teaching experience includes her work in Charlestown High, N. H., Plymouth Normal Sum- mer School, Plymouth Normal, and for the past year with us at N. A. N. S. Qnnie QE. Skeele MISS Skeele has been with the N. A. N. S. for a number of years and has proved to be a very successful teacher, liked by both Senior and Junior classes. In her gymnasium work she is kept quite busy taking care of absence slips. But always you will see the girls coming through the tunnel for them when they have forgotten to bring them. Miss Skeele also teaches hygiene. When we first entered her classes we thought we knew a great deal about the subject, but when questioned, espec- ially in tests, our marks told us just how little we did know. However, our final test proved to her what her teaching had dOne for us. 16 If-X , xx ' Xi guna 31. 'flamphier I, ISIONS of chair seats, knitting, book covers, and rafha baskets bring to our minds Miss Lamphier, who so willingly spent many hours teaching and helping us to accomplish these many things. Miss Lamphier is a graduate of Salem Normal School, and also studied at Lloyd Normal. She has taken summer courses in Boston, then in the Agriculture College at Amherst, Massachusetts, and Chautaqua School of Arts and Crafts. After teaching in the primary grades in Lynn, Newton, and at Mark Hopkins in North Adams, she came to our normal. Mrs. Burma B. Qllnurb It was only a Word of encouragement From one who has helped us through, But it brightened our weeks of training, And kept us from getting blue. ID you talk to Mrs. Couch? Yes, and she was just great! I feel better now. How many times We have heard that said, and how many times when we have cultivated our glare will the corners of our mouths turn up when we think of her. Mrs. Couch graduated with a degree of A.M. from Butchel College, Akron, Ohio. After having taken a special course at Edinboro Normal School, she accepted positions in the High Schools of Union City, and Cambridge Springs, Pa., where German and Mathematics were her special subjects. North Adams next secured the services of Mrs. Couch, Hrst as Principal of the Veazie School, and then as Principal of Mark Hopkins Training School. Now, to our great joy, she is instructor of penmanship, child study, school organization and management at the Normal School. 17 mrs. Qiberga Van Qtten UR mother! During our two years' stay at Normal, Mrs. Van Etten has done much to lighten our schoolroom cares and to help us along our rough and rocky path. Whenever the clouds darken the sunshine in our later lives, our minds will always revert to her cheery' word and helpful smile. She attended the Oneonta High School, Oneonta State Normal, Business School, and Boston School of Domestic Science, from which she came to us. Marion ibntnarh ll We may live without friends, We may live without books, But civilized man cannot live without cooks. ISS Howard entered upon her duties as Assist- ant Matron at Taconic Hall in the fall of 1915. Our class, entering in October, 1916, soon felt well acquainted with her and found her to be a most congenial and lovable companion. Lexington, Mass., High School and the Boston School of Domestic Science both claim her as a graduate. Snow-shoeing, hikes, coasting or skating call her to the out-of-doors, for she is very active in all athletics. We often have heard her say dreamily, I won- der if it will be 'Fair and Warmer' tomorrow. We understand Camp Meade, Maryland, holds - certain attractions for her and that consequently she improves her few spare moments knitting for the soldier man. We were very much disappointed to learn of her resignation in July, 1917, and felt sorry to have her leave us. She accepted a position in Cooperstown, New York, where she is now domestic science teacher in the Cooper Foundation. Letters tell us how much she is enjoying her work, and the members of the Class of 1918 feel very sure she will be successful wherever she goes. 18 Ebnmas jf. Qllummings E have here a member of the faculty whose company we all greatly enjoy, for he has proved himself to be one of the most affable of instructors. His is with us for the sole purpose of teaching the use of the chisel, jig saw, and other tools, a feat which he cheerfully attempts, sometimes with the plane fact of utter failure. However, although his pleasant face has never confronted us at the chapel exercises, because of some unknown reason, we are most willing to admit that he is else- where probably helping some ambitious student whose board he has split while intending perhaps to lend some timely assistance. To him the class of 1918 extend their best wishes, with the sincere hope that the incoming class may esteem and appreciate his services as we all do. i 19 Sarah Gammon ISS Gammon came to us in 1911 as Assistant Matron. She is a graduate of thc Guilford Maine, High School, and the Boston School of Domestic Science. A truer friend you will find no where. In one short year she has won a place for ever in all our hearts. 1918 NORMALOGUE Iaff nf 1918 may Qfllen Qllsnp WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. Who lent you, love, your 'mortal dower Of pensive thoughts, and aspect pale, Your melancholy sweet and frail As perfume from a cuckoo flower? May entered Normal School after having completed very successfully four years at Williamstown High School. Mild, demure and retiring is this dark-eyed beauty in the classroom,-but wait until lunch hour! This same shy creature Hits about from library to assembly hall keeping everyone in fits of laughter, with her witty sayings, clever puns, and funny faces. The subject of Betty Baby, her one year old niece is the only thing upon which May can talk seriously. But one day when a number of girls were talking about the societies to which they would like to belong, May with absolutely no hesitancy declared that she would love to be a Mason! We feel that May won't be disappointed, for who could resist one with such a winning way? Minnie Bailey WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. And when a man's in the case, You know all other things give place. Min is our only member from Buxton Hill, and although she has a long walk before her both morning and night, she doesn't seem to mind it, for her heart is not there. It is in Georgia. It is whispered that Min is thinking of going to France, and for that reason we should not be surprised to hear that she was making use of her Household Arts Course, in which she has been a shining star. Let it be known however, that she doesn't sit up every night to study, moreover she loves to be teased very often by her chum Spoon to skip to the movies. Will she be an old maid school marm? Never! Marion Jftances Barnes S'row, MASS. Day by day she labors, The nicest girl we know, To teach the little dormaliles The way that they should go. Peg, one of the most popular and good all around girls, is loved by all her friends. Her greatest ambitions are to get a hat which looks well on her, find a man for the man dance, and get a pair of shoes which do not hurt. Her favorite expression is, I got to go. Her favorite occu- pation is resting. She will probably teach for a few months and then retire for a rest. Can't you hear her saying now: I wish I was a little rock, A sittin' on a hill A doin' nothin' all day long But jus' a sittin' still? 20 1918 NORMALOGUE. Zlrene Jfrancese Batters LEOMINSTEH, Mass. Here is the girl with the rosy cheeks and winning smile. But, alas! we must not forget to mention her laugh, which, both in school and in the dormitory, can be heard echoing thru the halls. Irene has studied diligently and enthusiasticallyg consequent- ly she has won the hearts of the faculty as well as those of the class. Although Irene has admitted that trains have agreed to disagree with her, we notice that she enjoys taking week-end trips to Greenfield once in a while. Irene prefers teaching in the upper grades, but we think that some day she may teach a kindergarten class of her own. We all wish her good luck and the best of success in whatever community she teaches this coming year. Qlhetta Map Z8itlmell CHARLEMONT, MAss. Th.ere's a deal of deviltry beneath that mild exterior. One would hardly believe this if he had seen 'Bick' just once, but-ask the 'dorm' girls about her. They know the meaning of that broad grin and of her twinkling eye. Bick likes the word 'teducationf' but surely she would give up all the rest of it for the first syllable. Much of her spare time is spent in knitting. For whom? The Red Cross of course. She is a splendid room-mate and a jolly, generous girl who is always ready to help anybody. Favorite expression: We should worry. Favorite pastime: Eating bananas. Chief ambition: To figure prominently in the future History of Ed. QEmilp llllpton Bissell WILMINGTON, VT. What do we have in lit. to-morrow? Oh, I can't remember, but just run in and ask f'Em. Whenever any of the dorm. girls can't remember, this is what happens and Em comes to the rescue and saves their lives. Is she always at work did you say? Well I should say not, for Em is ever ready for a good time. Since we entered the war many of her spare minutes are taken up by her correspondence with the army oflicers. She is greatly interested in history, especially Paul Jones' sea fight. Never mind Em, we know you will always be a success wherever you go. Favorite expression- Honest in truth. Favorite pastime-Singing CPD. Favorite ambition-To be a nurse Over There. 21 1918 NORMALOGUE ikbnha Ztaattie Bolton NORTHFIELD, Mass. Whether it be for life or death, do your own work well. Those who know Hattie will agree that this is the motto she works by. She is always striving to get up a little higher. Hattie came to Normal with the class of 1917, but instead of continuing with them she taught a year and returned to be a Senior with us, thus giving us the pleasure of her friendship. It may not be necessary to say that Hattie was graduated from the Northfield Seminary, and I am sure if you ask her she could tell you all you would care to know about the school at Mt. Hermon. Hattie's favorite expression- Nuttin doin. Hattie's delight-Her pockets. Favorite pastime-Dreaming of Camp Uptonl Her ambition-To go to College? Ziaarriet Zmenhlen NORTH ADAMS, Mnss. Only for a year has Harriet honored us by her presence, but in her short stay with us she has made many friends. Although she did not have the pleasure of having hygiene with Miss Skeele, who tells us that we should not button our coats up around our necks, she is a strong advocate of an open sweater or coat. Many a day this winter have we seen her with her coat open, and she has made us shiver to look at her. Harriet's favorite pastime is skating. Every day, when the ice was good, found her either at Orr's or Young's skating rink, where her fancy skating brought praise from all who saw her. We have heard that she has become interested in Bonds, Liberty or otherwise. Qlibristine Elisa imunmn NORTH ADAMS, Mass. A friendly girl is Christine. She is always ready to greet one with a pleasant smile and a cheery Good morning. We all welcome her sweet voice at chapel when she renders solos in such a charming way. Her favorite diversion outside of school is snow shoeing. As a student she has been zealous and ambitious in her work. May the best wishes of the class of 1918 follow her wherever she may go! 22 1918 NORMALOGUE Kenna Qfligahetb Burgner DAL'roN, MAss. For the past two years Leona has cheered the dorm with her jolly, good natured laugh. We have never seen her really ruffled or disturbed, and she is always ready to lend a helping hand. At a glance one might think she has been known to take several joy rides to parts unknown. As class treasurer she has guarded well our millions, and if our good wishes can bring her success, Lonie's future will be assured. btella Jllaghalene igutkahitg DEERFIELD, MASS. Our class has been stimulated by the presence of this young lady from South Deerfield. Her earnestness and versatility have won a name for her among us. However, we often wondered whether Stella was ever five minutes early for classes or meals. Her greatest ambition is to make herself of some great use in the world. We wish -her success in all her undertakings. Warp QEIi5ahetiJ ftlanahan DALTON, MAss. With eyes of blue, and hair of brown Comes Mary from old Dalton Town. Her gentle manner, winning way, Make us just love her more each day. A scream is heard on the third floor A mouse she sees behind the door, Cheer up, dear girl, we are right here And we will aid you, have no fear! So true a member of our class, Who would not aid you, winsome lass? Success and great good cheer let be The parting words from us to thee. 23 VFW l t ' 1 l l I I i l 1 l 4 1 v l l v l 1918 NORMALOGUE Grate Glecilia Giatstnsll b NoR'r1-I ADAMS, MAss. Does Grace like fun? Just ask her to tell you all about those after school meetings when she and her boon companion Rose used to wait for the Pittsfield train. Oh! those happy Junior days. We expect to hear that Grace has left to accept a position in Texas in order to be near a certain camp. Well, have a good time, Grace, you are never young but once. But, whatever you do, do not forget the many friends you have made at N. A. N. S. ,frames 'Uernnica ftlaszp LENOX, Mass. ' There lies a deal of deviltry beneath that milxd exterior. Here is Fran, a happy little maid, Winsome and merry. How could we get along without her cheery words and little squeals? Many a night throughout the hours from 7.15 to 9.30 a gentle little yell would proceed from Room 13, and when a member of the Student Council entered, Fran could not be found, but you know there was at times a small space between two beds. The one disagreeable element for Fran was her week-ends in North Adams, for she had so many Bills to account for in Lenox that it was necessary for her to be there from Friday night to Monday morning. Fran has brightened the hours for many of us at Normal, and we hope she will continue to do so for others throughout her life. Mary Zlgnes Qllunnnrs . PITTSFIELD, Mass. She has a rep for having pep, As everybody knows. She carries lots of it around, And everywhere she goes She stirs things up with might and main, And yet she really is quite sane. Our dear friend has acquired a new appellation since entering N. A. N. S.,-that of Mary Agnes. Her enveloping smile, and unconscious, but sadly abused, Glory, girls, this is great, have often been in evidence on the 7:23, while listening to certain tales of her beloved Erin. Mary used to like to amuse her neighbors, and she did it so successfully that she often met with the disapproval of certain quiet, loving council members. Miss Agnees also enjoyed substituting, but a lengthy stretch has been known to affect her health. She has a keen eye and ear for spring signs, especially on Church St. With the name N. A. N. S. is linked the thought of Mary, and our best wishes will always go with her. 24 1918 NORMALOGUE jllflarp Iirene Qfluunors ADAMS, MAss. As the quarter-of-nine trolley rocks down Ashland Street, bringing its group of students unwilling to leave its cradling motion, always one will find among them a quiet girl from Adams, five miles away. By her cheerful countenance you may be sure she has prepared her day's lessons, but she will convince you that she must hasten to write the last word, or get a last glance at her book. Sometimes the motions on the screen offer more attraction than the motions on the bars, and, with due pricking of conscience, Irene leaves her gymnastic companions to their fate. All indica- tions point to a life of prosperity for this member of our class. illlaheleine Qgnes ftlluurtnep CHESHIRE, Mass. Many a happy day has Mad. spent in N. Adams. Especially good were those Saxton's banquets and the Scrabbletown congre- gation which greeted her on Main Street. Surely, if Mad. carries into her own school the same happy spirit and originality in the way of doing things that she has al- ways shown in N. A. N.

Qflatberiue Ruth Qlullen PITTSFIELD, Mass. Here's to Catherine, a bonnie lass, Who has won the love of all her class. Although she appears very meek and mild, She is often a very unruly child. Snow shoeing is for her great fun, And in this she cannot be outdone. Now let our last word to her be success From her friends at dear N. A. N. S. Favorite expression-He's a good scout. One ambition-Teacher of Domestic Science. Favorite pastime-Knitting for a soldier. 25 1918 NORMALOGUE Zlaagel grime llBenison LEYDEN, Mass. Still 'waters run deep. Hazel came from Leyden to attend Drury, and, after being graduated continued her fine record at Normal. Here she has caused some excitement by slipping in thru the kitchen door just sixty seconds before the bell rings, and by attending certain feeds uninvited. But her virtues are also many and not least anong them is patience. Sometimes she is so worried over epistles on theology, from a well known university that she serves cold tea. One of her delights is watching Cnot in vainj for a Ford that winds over the Mohawk Trail. Because she knows hard work and never shirks her duty, we soon shall hear of her great success.

As a ghost might come among us Anna came carrying a big black cat which we of course thought was for luck, We wonder if her luck is following her yet. We hope so anyway! You say she is quiet! Take a look at the Gym ceiling some day. How did she get there? Up a rope of course. We'll wager Climbing Up is her motto. Favorite pastime-Talking Latin. Greatest ambition-To get rich quick. Favorite expression-Oh! That's awful! Saline Eenzhiebe Bunn ' POWNAL, VT. I read, dear friend, in your dear face Your life's Iale told with perfect grace. Allie comes from Pownal with a few of our bright Seniors. We are very fortunate in having her with us this year although it was rather unfortunate for Allie, seeing that she was ill all last year. Day after day we see Allie hurrying through the halls, her arms piled high with books, for you know Alice's main amuse- ment is study. Would you believe it, Allie has been seen to actually grin in class. Oh, no, she is not altogether solemn. but good natured and jolly, and we all love her. Although Allie would make a Fine school teacher, we feel sure that her career as such will not be long. Why? Ask Allie. 26 M .5 v l L r ..- . , 1918 NORMALOGUE ' Bose Eleanor Marie dialer P1'r'rsFrELD, Mass. On hearing a merry laugh, you may know that Rose is near, for we have known her to laugh heartily at her own antics, and when she does, it seems natural that everyone near should laugh also. Rose likes being stalled on the trollies, for she is usually so taken up with things,-usually the scenery,-that the ride seems almost too short. With her hair parted in the middle she looks charming, especially with that cute overcoat. Favorite pastime: Arching eyebrows. Favorite expression: What can I do? jflorence Gettruhe Jfabep PITTSFIELD, MASS. With her yellow-red hair and her charming way, Fivi's a friend you won't meet every day. In Fivi we find both the thoughtful student and the fun- loving friend. In the class room she has won fame even to the securing of the appellation of Miss Flynn. Her work in gym would indeed be exceptional were it not for those fallen arches. Whenever a holiday or a free period arrive, watch Fleurrie as she makes a comet-like dash down Lawrence Ave. for the Pitts- field car. If we may judge the future from the past then we may indeed predict for Fleurrie a bright and successful career. Qhhie may Eollehge POWNAL, VT. Always happy, Always busy. Addie is one of the brightest girls in the class, but we know she does not devote all her time to study, because she has knit steadily ever since our boys went away, and she has completed an outfit for,+well you had better ask her its destination. That she is loyal to the Allies we know by the bracelet of links which ornaments one wrist, and which shows the flags of the most important Allied countries. Those who interest her most are the Tommies and Sammies. We wonder to which she will cling? Addie hails from New York, and is very true to the Empire State. Who could blame her, when she has a weekly letter from Rensselaer. The best in life is our wish for you, Addie! 27 1918 NORMALOGUE Marion Gray Noivru ADAMS, MASS. Marion is a member of the Glee Club and has shown her fine ability as a singer. There is a certain dignity and aristocracy in her bearing which one cannot fail to notice. She possesses a. charming personality, and if ever we are in need of cheer and sympathy, we always find Marion ready and willing to help. Surface knowledge does not satisfy her, for she must know every detail and its reason. We have heard Marion express a desire to enter the business world, but we hope that she will not set it on fire. .-. Glahps 3981112 Gteentnouh ADAMS, MASS. Cheerful, always good natured, a friend of everyone is Gladys. One cannot long be in the same group with her without being filled with a spirit which would take one over the top. In short, to be in her company one Cann forget his worries over studies and be frivolous. Sheis an orator of ability, cast by nature in the role of a trage- dian, but eternally playing the comedian. Her next special is art work, which is of the Gibson girl or James Montgomery Flagg type, and which adorns this book, as well as all other material with which she comes in contact. Favorite expression: Crumps. Pastimet Talking. Zlmp :iframes ilaarhp SI-IELBURNE, MASS. Bemember Amy? Certainly! How can we forget the most ambitious girl in our class? The moon on winter's mornings finds Amy hard at work over a study book. Oh, no! It always was a study book. The summer Sun finds Amy at five-thirty again in the same position. This is the secret why Amy always has her lessons. A word to the wise is sufficient. Ask Amy how many 5.30 signs she has made for the watchman. Did you ever see Amy frown? She is thoughtful and kind. If you want to have a good laugh to ease your burdens ask Amy to tell a few Stories. She knows great quantities and great varieties of them. We all wish her success in the hard school of life. 28 1918 NORMALOGUE ttihna Blanche iiaatmon GREAT BARRINGTON, MASS.

The views of the occupants of the lower end of the third floor corridor have become broadened and expanded thru the forceful and inspiring words of this future prophet of liberal-minded- ness. Of course there are times when she descends to the level of ordinary minds. At Such times she has even been known to concoct a jelly known as Jiffy Jell and to indulge with the rest in consuming it at forbidden hours of the night. Her greatest ambitions are, that women may become sensible enough to wear simple Grecian costumes for comfort, and also, that they may have the vote. She is a most interesting and enjoyable member of our class. Qlllilhreh Esther ibzrnentnap PITTSFIELD, MASS. Here she comes a tripping So pleasant and so tall: So very neat, so very fair, With a ready smile for all . A wide-awake, jolly girl is our kind-hearted Billy. We find her always doing things for others, especially caring for the sick. For Billy has been sick herself and knows how to Sym- pathize with others. When we do not find her doing this we hear her playing duets. Her favorite occupation is teasing, and a jollier girl you will never find the wide world o'er. Gymnastics is her favorite subject, into which she puts her whole heart and soul, and you are sure to hear her merry voice echoing through the gym. 29 1918 NORMALOGUE Theresa Margaret ilaennessp WATERBURY, CONN. Tess! The name justs suits her. At almost any time you can hear the girls on third floor calling her, for she is one of the most popular girls in the dorm, and is always in demand. I wonder why we all grin when she gets up to recite? Perhaps it is because she always says something original, and it appeals to our sense of humor. We shall not forget the day she tried to convince us that they converted potatoes into wild animals in South America. But Tess is very ambitious, and an earnest worker just the same. Her ambition will be fiuliilled only when she has the perma- nent wave in her hair, and when there are forty-eight hours in the day, for she would like to find time for a little sleep. .F fniura gllililhreh ilaupt CHESHIRE, MASS. Here's to the girl who hails from that popular and progressive town of Cheshire Cwe gained that opinion of the burg from her spiels in geographyj. However, her heart is not there, but is back home in dear old New York State, in a little country town where hymns are popular and numerous. There she will eagerly flee, barely Waiting to receive the diploma for which she has ardently worked, and which will enable her to teach the little Dutchmen. She's a happy-go-lucky sort of person, never troubling trouble until trouble troubles her. Also she has ob- served that there is one place where sympathy can always be found,-in the dictionary. Margaret warren ilaphe NORTH ADAMS, Mfxss. Pack up your troubles in your old kil bag, and smile, smile, smilef' ' What's the use of worrying? asks Margaret, so on her way rejoicing she goes, and usually gets there too. Margaret is a very wide-awake little person, who came to us from somewhere down East where the people say heah and theah. A great deal of Peg's spare time is spent in knitting helmets, wristers and socks for the gallant soldier boys. During her Junior year Margaret remained loyal to the shining lights in Junior II but this year she robbed it of some of its luster when she joined the kindergarten forces. If you will look keenly into the future you may see Margaret in her Little Gray Home in the West, teaching the youth of California, where she will live happily ever after. 30 fl 1918 NORMALOGUE Rosalie Qllbristina Elurhan NORTH ADAMS, MASS.

She has always graced our social affairs and unconsciously f?J she has displayed a fair amount of muscle in our basketball games. Rumor tells us that Rosie has partly made up her mind to enter partnership with the manager of the five and ten cent store, but without doubt the lure of a rural school will be too strong for her to resist during the coming year.

Whatever you want. of her you may ask, For she is accomplished in every task.

Wherever she goes, whatever she does We know she'll be faithful and loyal and true, And now as the day of our parting draws nigh, We bid her adieu with many a sigh. Zlrene Katherine ikearns NORTH ADAMS, MASS. Irene? Which Irene? Why Irene Kearns, of course, with brown eyes and dark brown hair. Although of Slight build, we are sure she has the ability to win her battles. Faithfulness to her studies is her most marked characteristic, yet interest is not far behind. She has opinions concerning certain subjects. Ask Irene how She liked the movies last night, and if anything good is on the screen to-night. She is sure to answer, Oh, it was wonderful, and I think it will be fine to-night. It is well that we have some one who is posted on what is going on in the moving picture world.

Well, who wouldn't laugh when Josephine begins an argument with Mr. Murdock in psychology class? Finally, being out of breath, she sits down, because there's a chair there. Of whom are we speaking? Why, it's the Senior Class Jokerfrj. Life would indeed be miser- able without Jo's funny remarks and witty sayings in geography and history of education. Unfortunately there are few people in this world who have an ideal, but Josephine possesses a real live ideal, and he resides in Salem. Now we know why Jo is so loyal to the Empire State.

Nothing great was ever achieved fwitlzout enthusiasm. Listen. What is that? Oh, that is Mabel whistling. Not long after she came among us we found her to be a merry whistler and the promoter of a good, jolly laugh. Still another accomplishment has this wee CYD country lassie. Frequently, if one carefully fits his ear to the keyhole of Room 14, anytime between 9.30 and 10.30 t??J, the rat-a-tat-tat of a sprightly clog dance may be heard, accompanied by strange, queer, but melodious sounds from her pet harmonica. ' VVhen a Junior, Mabel was invited to join the school Glee Club and thus develop her rich alto voice. Whenever a deep sonorous voice is heard in the corridors, we are thus reminded: Balance your corners, Right hand to your partner, Grand right and left. She will always be remembered as a good faithful worker in all things, a leader in stunts of various kinds and the possessor of a hidden power to incite her fellow-students to arguments in geog- raphy class. If interest lags for only a moment she is instantly on her feet and arguing some problem like a Philadelphia lawyer. We feel sure of her success wherever she may go.

From earliest days in Junior year, Ruth has perserveringly applied herself to the books and achieved her reward-the reward of an earnest worker. Her worries on whether we'll have a test to- day have always been unbounded. Peg's sense of. humor is great and many a good laugh enjoyed by the rest of the class have been due to her jokes. Yes, she even went so far as to wink at Mr. Murdock in psychology and then tell him about it. We expect great things from Ruth Mason. Zlazlen Qgnes Meagher LENOX, MAss. .

We shall expect Helen to make a big mark in the world. Blame Qnnetta Montgomery NORTH ADAMS, MASS. W ith ev'ry pleasing, ev'ry prudent part, What can Jane want? She wanls a heart!

Sometime maybe she will find out what causes the pain around her heart.

Edith, the leader of the Glee Club is more familiarly known to us as Do. When you first look at her you think she is bashful, but looks are very deceiving. We can always tell when Do is around by that stage laugh which she has recently cultivated, When she comes into the assembly hall every morning we can always tell whether or not she has anything to tell us. Usually it is, Girls, I have a joke for you, and then you see the girls gathering around her, and finally a chorus of Ha! Ha's! We always thought we could recognize Edith a mile away, but there was one night that she fooled us, when she wore some little black curls, and a cap. Edith did not use to be as anxious to get to school at nine o'clock as she was to leave in time to catch the five o'clock car. We shall surely miss her smiling face when she takes up her new work next year, butlwe all wish her success. glitz Gtnenholpu 1BurneII PITTSFIELD, MASS.

She will always be re- membered for her generosity as she is often the first to offer help to any one in need. Surely we shall always remember her smile, and the twinkle in her eye, which has been seen even during what many consider the troublesome moments of recitation. If we should travel through the beautiful Green Mountains of New England during the summer months we might see that smile deepen and broaden while she drives her own car. We wish her every happiness for the future. 1BauIinz Bop PITTSFIELD, Mixss. You seem to wear On your curly hair The smile of the setting sun Ah me! how years will run! But your heart as now will still be true To your friends, as they'll be tr-ue to you. Pauline had already had some teaching experience before she joined our class. We have all enjoyed her presence, for her bright smile and words of encouragement have often cheered us. During the Autumn months she left us three times to go to her home, where wedding bells rang out for each great occasion. We cannot help wondering if Cupid did not suggest to her the Household Arts Course which she has taken here. ' Somehow Pauline always failed to return from the Week end spent at home until Monday morning, because she said that Sunday evening is the best part of the visit at home. As her favorite topic is travel, in future years we shall without doubt hear of her in many foreign lands. Her favorite pastime is riding her saddle horse through the Berkshires. May good luck go with you, Pauline, and may all your efforts be crowned with success. 38 1918 NORMALOGUE louise ikicbarhson banhp Howoici-2, MAss.

It is needless to say that she immediately won the love and appreciation of all her classmates by her cheerful smile and sincere greeting, Hello, Old ToplY From the beginning Louise has been recognized as a. leader among the girls of 1918, for she has constantly contributed invaluable aid and suggestions in all doings of the class and in meetings of the house. When not eating chocolate or calling at room 7, Louise is thinking of how she can put her training to the best possible use on the western plains. In fact her greatest ambition is to improve pedagogy in the West. Do not be surprised if some day in the future when you attend a conference of some sort or other you are given a lecture by Dean Sandy of Clark College for Women. glitz Gzrttuhe beads EASTHAMPTON, MASS.

Just happen around at Room 43 any time during the day, and you will hear her bright, merry laughter. Long will we remember the feeds that were given in that room. Always she is ready to share with others, ever she is kind to us all. Her favorite occupation is working on authors' books while here, but at home it is driving a Dodge. Qmiie baboon Nonrx-I ADAMS, Mass. Laugh and live is Annie's motto, and she has a smile which out-does the famous Fairbanks grin. Indeed we can always hear her before we can see her, and it is that contagious laughter of hers which captivates us all. There are other people who like her, too, but we can't just tell whether it is the smile or the yellow dress which is the reason. Annie's hobby is studying birds, her favorite being bluejays, but who can blame her? Blue-jays are fascinating creatures, and we hope that she may enjoy their songs to the end of her days. 39 1918 NORMALOGUE Hora Qgnes Shea DALTON, Mass. Now she is here, Now she is thereg A friend to all She is ererywhere. In years to come we have all to remember Nora, our friend and ally in time of need. Kind, generous and sympathetic, she is an ardent supporter of Mr. Hoover and frequently has edified us by a model speech on F ood Conservation. To her the class of 1918 extends all good wishes, and hopes that the star of success may shine over her fair head, whenever she is imparting knowledge to the children of some distant rural school. Margaret Qileanur bbean DALTON, Mass. When you do dance, I wish you were a 'wave 0' lhe sea, That you might ever do nothing but that. Peg wandered into N. A. N. S. two years ago, and since then has daily made the trip between third floor and the dining room any time before seven-thirty. Peg's favorite pastime is dancing, and when a man dance is mentioned, she can hardly keep her feet on the floor. Perhaps this accounts for her sudden departure to Dalton one Friday afternoon, and similar return on that same night, and the consequent Rays of light in the vicinity of Church street thereafter. 3Kutb ilfldkinlep Spooner XVILLIAMSTOYVN, Mass. So light of fool, So light of spirilfu 'tOn with the dance! Let joy be unconfinedf' This may not be the motto of Spig's life but in dancing she finds her principal diversion, and she so far excels that she has at least a county wide reputation for grace and skill in the dance. Spoon has never spent an undue amount of time cxploiting her brilliancy in the classroom, her chief bug-bears being arithmetic, her abominable writing, and her abuse of the letter s, but, having the social duties of the class resting on her shoulders, she has allowed some who were less skilled to attend to these trivial matters. Ready for a joke and a laugh at all times, with the sunniest of dispositions and a rare wit, Ruth has made all of us her lasting friends. -As she lives in the college town, her masculine friends are many, but not all are located there, if we may judge from Ruth's correspondence, and we know that for one Boytdj she would leave her happy home. Most assuredly we know Ruth will be successful whether it be as a teacher of the three R's or of the latest modern dances. 40 1918 NORMALOGUE Mathis Rena btrail NORTH ADAMS, MASS. Hello Marv.! How often we have heard those words in the last two years! Was it because Marv was always appearing? No, but because cheer and good feeling came with her presence. The night she appeared as Doug, in a soldier's uniform brought a deep sigh from one who posed as an Irish maiden. We think that if Marv takes up the profession she really wishes to and goes Over There as a nurse the song, I Don't Want to Get Well would be very popular. The future holds such miracles that if Marv. does not become a school-marm or a nurse, she may be appointed editor-in-chief of the Bingville Bugle .

Last year she wrote the H1917 Farewell. Who knows? Some day She may be writing songs for rural and city schools C?J. Kat is very fond of talking, in class and out. She talks a great deal of Joe,-not our JO,-and also of Williams College. Her winning ways and pleasant smile will gain success for Kath- ryn, we are sure. ilaarriet Veritta Qliteahtnell NORTH ADAMS, MASS.

Tread is one of the jolliest and most spirited members of our class, and although at times she has been a trial and tribulation to certain members of the faculty, at Others she has been their pride and joy. Especially does she shine in geography. We can account for this by no other reason than Treadie's frequent trips to Albany, and the numerous letters she has to write each week to all parts of the country. Another of Harriet's accomplishments is Basket Ball. In this she shines as one of Miss Skeele's scintillating stars. Wherever she goes, Harriet will win popularity because of her happy sunny disposition and her ready adaptability. 41 l 1918 NORMALOGUE l emma spine mmm GREENFIELD, MASS.

CLS 52 1918 NORMALOGUE Beminisrences of GBM 'dllllan Bama MAN DANCE did some one say? Yes, we are to have a real man dance Saturday evening, February the first. What could be better! The decision made by the class at a house meeting called for the express purpose of talking over the delightful affair was that students other than those in the hall would be invited to join us that evening. Conscientious committees were carefully chosen to plan and develop Utopianism according to the standards laid down by the matron and by those members of the faculty residing in the dormitory. Committees on decorations, programs, invitations, reception, and refreshments all worked zealously toward making the social evening a success. Invitations were inflicted upon individuals within a radius of fifty miles. You are cordially invited , etc., was the essence of these announcements, for we took for granted that within that area of 157 square miles, not more than one or two at the very most would refuse to attend such a promising good time. In fact, we had but to announce the date of the party since our partners had been looked over, passed judgment upon, asked, and all the rest, fully two months before. As the days of preparation fled by, the girls could be heard, even if not seen, hurrying from room to room, making out programs and accidentally, of course, getting an early glimpse of the new dresses. At 8:15 sharp the masculine guests were allowed to cross the thresholds of the front and side doors. Hat in one hand, card in the other, embarrassment in their smiles, a question mark on their foreheads, one by one and occasionally two by two they were shown to the guest room, and then to the social room in which feminine elegance was distinctly in the foreground. Everything was talked about, from the weather,-a tender topic in North Adams,-to the possibility of another social in the near future. All were sufficiently discussed before it was time to pass thru the long receiving line. For the now reluctant guests, this part of the evening's program came altogether too quickly, and passed altogether too slowly. Once on the floor of the reception hall, sighs of relief were seen to be unsuccessfully muffled by hand- kerchiefs or unbecoming smiles. Waltzes, one steps, and Paul jones's were executed in the most graceful manner, to the strains of music which came from behind the embankment of ferns. In the meantime, the long receiving line was converted into a row of capable on-lookers unconsciously exercising their authority and yet busily engaged in doing their bit for the boys over there. A certain amount of digression from the dancing was permitted by the laws of society. Refreshments in the reception room, card parties in the social room, short chats in the reading room, short walks thru the long corridors were all enjoyed. But all the evening the clocks had been moving by inches toward the fatal hour of de- parture. Home, Sweet Home and Good Night, Ladies were played by the orchestra with a feel- ing which soon became implanted in the hearts of all. Lights out in the lower corridor at l1:15! Final thanks for the delightful evening were expressed and Good Nights were hurried thru as the lights were gradually switched off. The next few minutes were employed in arranging for the next social as suggested in the early part of the evening. It Was almost 11 :30 before all in Taconic Hall had fully recovered from the unusual excite- ment, and I am prone to think that they whispered as they fell asleep, Wouldn't it be wonder- ful if we had a Man Dance every week?

The hall was tastefully decorated with the flags of our allies, and the seats were arranged at the sides so that the numbers might be presented in the center of the floor. The program was patriotic and consisted of groups of folk-dances, songs and ballads of those nations now our allies in war. The first group to appear was the English, dressed in white. With each pair of girls adorned with similar colors, but different from the rest, they tripped delightfully through that old English folk dance, Gathering Peas Cods. This was followed by an English ballad rendered very effectively by Miss Catherine Cullen. Two songs were then sung by the glee club, and amid hearty applause from the audience they danced from the room. Following this dance came the Scotch selections which began with the song, The Camp- bells are Comin'. The entire audience was enthused when the dancers of the Highland Fling made their appearance in Scotch costume. Lithely and gracefully, yet with an air of dignity, they held the attention of the audience throughout. They retreated to the foot of the platform, and the next number began, as Miss Marguerite Kenney rendered pleasingly, T he Gay Goss Hawk, a Scotch ballad. Next came the Welsh song by the girls of Welsh descent, and this was followed by the Irish, Russian, French, Italian and japanese selections. Each group was in the costume of its country, and it made a pleasing sight. After these came the last number, which was distinctly American. The first part was given over to the Indians, the first inhabitants of our country, and the dancers were attractively costumed as Indian maids. They gave some of the weird dances of their race and chanted Indian songs, after which Miss Theresa Hennessey, as one of the maids, recited an Indian legend from Hiawatha. The lights were dimmed, and the Indian group gave way to those who represented the present day Americans. These dancers,-some taking the part of gentle- men,-wore a present day costume, and came in dancing and singing, We Won't Go Home Until Morning. They entertained the audience with some of the old fashioned dances, the quadrille being the chief one, and the figures being called off by one of the members. They then danced from the room, singing as they went. In the Grande Finale all the dancers who had previously taken part gathered around the Goddess of Liberty, Miss Florence Kilburn, and sang, The Star Spangled Banner. Then they marched down the center of the hall singing, The Old Flag Never Touched the Ground, as they vanished from sight. The dance was a splendid success, and no small sum was realized to be presented to the Red Cross. Moreover, its success was so complete that it was repeated under the auspices of the Woman's Educational Committee of the Woman's Club in Drury Academy with equal success. The students will always remember it as a delightful event during the school year, and one in which each shared to help our country. M arion E.

So it was that this finer enthusiasm was atforded us when on April 11, 1918, the student body of Seniors presented The American Anniversary Program, which had been carefully planned and Worked out by Miss Baright. She had clev- erly adopted it as a most appropriate means of celebrating one of the greatest events in history, that of the entrance of the United States into the world war of the present day. The entertainment consisted of recitations and singing,-recitation of literature written only about this present conflict, and singing of patriotic songs. In the arrangement of the program much genius was shown. The first part was entitled With One Clear Call for Me, and contained such ntunbers as would be fitting under this heading. Following were other headings, such as, In Unity There is Strength, The Enemy Is Loose Over There, The World Must Be Made Safe For Democracy, Do With Thy Might What Thy Hands Find To Do, If There Is No Vision, the Nation Will Perish. Only those who attended this entertainment can fully appreciate any words concerning it, for satisfaction, patriotism, and pride were the feelings enjoyed by all before the close of that never-to-be-forgotten evening.

The costumes, ranging from the styles of '76 to those of to-day, were extremely effective under the orange and black decorations. After the masqued ceremony of the grand march, dancing was enjoyed, and several per- sons ventured to have their palms read. Punch, pop-corn, and apples were the treats of the evening and each one helped to make them disappear. Ruth Spooner, Marion Gray and Harriet Treadwell favored us with fancy dancing, Rita Kenney and Gladys Montgomery pleased the audience with humorous recitations. Vera Andrews also gave a pleasing vocal selection. As the hour was growing late, one more dance was enjoyed, and the girls waited for the familiar strains of Home Sweet Home, which ended a pleasant and most enjoyable evening for all.

QWelcomeD This afternoon we come together with several hopes in our hearts. First and foremost that you will enjoy yourself at these our Class Day exercises. Second thatithe faculty will not be made unhappy and depressed at our departure. For the coming classes we earnestly hope that they will be as distinguished in mathematics and handicraft as We have been before them. For one another we hope that the most pleasant memories of the class of 1918 will follow us through the coming years. While you linger with us in this short time we feel sure you will see only the good. Our program will paint a vivid picture bringing before your eyes something of the work that we have been doing for the past two years. Those of you present who are seers of visions, do you not see in this distinguished class the bachelor school-maids of the future? Do you not see the hope of a new America that is to be born of Liberty through our efforts? Let me here say that we wish you to know that our Class Day and Graduation exercises have been planned especially for your pleasure. and also for the fond memories that will cluster around the dear North Adams Normal School when in old age we sit dreaming in front of the fire. You know, and we have learned to know, that virtue has its own reward. For two long, happy years we have passed through these silent halls seeking for the knowledge to carry on our life work. Now we have come to the end of our search, and shall soon be saying farewell in Words but not in hearts to our Alma Mater, and with us we will carry the long sought treasure. Many lasting friendships have been made which have proved and will prove helpful, inspiring, and capable of bringing out the best there is in us. There are no friends like the old friends, Who have shared our school room days, No welcome like their presence, No homage like their praise. Irene Northup 60 - 1918 NORMALOGUE f.

As members of the present graduating class our associations naturally tend to H1916- l9l8, two vitally interesting years to us. Most highly esteemed Juniors, to-morrow we leave our places for you to fill, yielding all we have enjoyed as Seniors. This inheritance warrants our giving you a little advice. Our message to the entire class is, be dignified! But let your dignity be tempered with friendliness. To those in the Dormitory: Whenever there is a ire drill be sure to know your number, and don't let any telephone calls disturb the sweet serenity of that ceremony. Also, girls, have as your motto, As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, only darkness after 10:15 p. m. You should by this time have learned the rules about going out with the other sex. Don't forget that these same rules will hold good for next year. Now to those not in the Dormitory: The Richmond and Empire theaters are not on the straight and narrow path between Pine Cobble and Witt's Ledge. Before entering the geography room, be sure to know your left hand from your right, in order that you may detect North from South, and East from West. It would also be advisable for each of you to invest in a pocket dictionary and carry it with you to psychology class. . Dear Juniors, wisely avail yourselves of the counsel of our excellent faculty. As they have hitherto helped us, they will now help you. When your work is done and you are going forth, as we are to-day, your hearts will be filled with the satisfaction of victories won, and the praises of the teachers who have prepared you for your profession will fall pleasantly on your ears. Ladies and gentlemen, members of the faculty, and of the junior Class, our days here at the school are closing and it remains only for us to attempt to make brave our sad hearts as we bid you and our school farewell. Helen Larkin 61 ' 1918 NORMALOGUE Response tu the beninrs Members of the Graduating Class :- The day toward which you have been looking for the past two years is soon to become a reality. The class of '19 trusts that it brings to you joy and happiness. To us it comes with a measure of sadness, for we must bid farewell to those of you whom We have come to know and love. You have had a long, hard journey, but The steepest place, the longest way, The hardest way of all to climb Is not difiicult, they say, If it emerge somewhere, sometime, and in spite of all difficulties, in the face of veritable wire entanglements, you have emerged. Soon you will leave our dear Normal, to go out into new fields of work where' you hope to become leaders in your communities. In another year, having been prepared for the same work, we will strike into other paths which lead out into the world. But though far and wide we may be scattered, the bonds of friendship which have been slowly forming during the past year will only be strengthened by the realization that we have lived and worked toward a common goal. Before we say good-bye, let us look back over the past year. Last fall, when we entered this institution as a class, perhaps not standing for quantity, but surely for quality, what would we have done, had it not been for the Seniors? Here was a maze of rooms, where teachers were looking for us and we were looking for them. You it was who kindly pointed out the trysting-place. When the work of the year had begun and we had our introduction to lesson plans, your heartfelt sympathy was greatly appreciated. At least it gave us a faint gleam of hope that some day we would be able to separate the Content from the Method. But, you say, that was mere child's play. Next year when you are making product maps for Geography or learning pages of Psychology verbatim you will realize that Junior trials were but slight things in comparison. When we come to that stage in our career, the greatest service we can render to the enter- ing class while they strive to gain the upper hand in the first year drives, will be to cheer them on so that at last they may take home the message that they have conquered. A few words about the gym work. Let us hope when we are sent on a hike to Pine Cobble or Witt's Ledge that the Richmond and the Empire may not loom up so large in our paths that we cannot go around them.

Bazar 1,921 Ziaear Qc! COME to tell you of that which you have never heard before. Nestled in the heart of the Berkshires lies an institution which carries on one of the noblest works of modern time. Whoever has visited North Adams will never forget the Berkshire Hills-nor the Normal School. Tempus Fugit,-time fiies,-they say. Not so, time stays, we fiyg and so the members of the class of 1918 are fiying, but, like time, the normal school has stayed. This normal school has sent out many famous women, and as I delved into the annals of its history, I found that one of the most brilliant and beloved classes was that which launched its bark in 1918-so many years ago. So interesting was the narrative of this praiseworthy class, that I turned the yellow leaves until I had stored in the pigeon holes of memory these facts, which I now pass on to you. It was during the year of 1917 that the dreaded plague, infantile paralysis. swept over the northeastern part of the United States. Several cases broke out in North Adams, scaring the inhabitants to such an extent, that the normal school kept its portals closed until October. Thus handicapped, 1918 began her course. . In those days, a physical examination was given, which consisted of running down stairs and then up, to test the heart-beat, a test, which, as we look back, seems rather superfluous as, no doubt, those young ladies hearts beat fiercely enough with fear and awe! The first morning of school the little band fiocked into the assembly hall trembling until their teeth chattered. For over one-half hour they sat as tho petrified, with at least a dozen pairs of eyes from the platform staring thru every one of them. After a very tiresome delay they were informed that they would go to the botany room for the first recitation. What did that mean to those girls, in a strange building that to them resembled a labyrinth? They questioned everyone, and they were soon told that the room in question was on the first floor in the southwest corner of the building. How pleased they were-that was like so much Greek, and so they travelled on, hoping that someone would give them some intelligent information before the period was over. When at last the girls gained the first floor some kindly seniors, with many punches and pushes, assisted the down-hearted girls to the botany room. Many things were these fair lasses taught during the first year. As they trudged pain- fully up and down stairs, which were coated with a layer of glaze with the absolute intention of making one slide down a flight unless he clung to the banister, they learned the art of graceful accent and descent. But-ah! that painful day for the entire class when one of its members slipped, fell or was pushed down the treacherous stairs, and landed a three days' vacation as a result. Everyone was more careful than ever, you may rest assured. Under Miss Searle's careful tutelage, they learned to distinguish the Swan-Song from Killarney when played on the victrola. Standing out in the arithmetic room, one could almost tell whether it was a bar of Yankee Doodle, or of The Wearing of the Green, which wasbeinguloo-ed byaclassmate. And so they spent a whole half year to get a better appreciation of music. Any budding Prima Donnas found in their midst were asked to lend their voices to the Glee Club and practice two noons every week for the annual concert in May. 64 1918 NORMALOGUE What things these young maidens learned in Mr. Smith's gardening course! Among these bits of information were the following: the correct angle to place one's foot upon a spade in order to spade to the best advantage, the scientific way to sprinkle lettuce seeds, and last, but not least, the best way to water plants and the right amount of moisture needed if one wants to water the same plants but once during the season! l The happy, merry times spent in gymnasium reminded the girls of the carefree days before they undertook the difficult task of transforming themselves into teachers of the young. They learned that if chased by a wild creature they could easily scale a tree or somersault down a hilly So clever and skillful were these fair acrobats that they were allowed to exhibit their stunts to the interested public. In drawing class, as they stood a spell-first on one foot then on t'other, gazing out from the top story of the normal school building down upon the city of North Adams, the girls were taught to observe whether or not the various houses fitted the landscape. After many years of endeavoring to master the art of correct conversation upon each and every occasion, the Junior year was spent as the first few years on earth, in learning how to talk, and that it was most extraordinary that people could understand them, when they said o when they should say ah, etc. The girls were urged incessantly to spend hours before their minors, not as one would suspect, in making themselves agreeable to the eye, but rather in studying, and stretching their faces and mouths in all directions. How many of the poor unfortunate damsels found they had nasal twangs or some other impediments in their speech! Thus the year sped by, and it was with determination to return again in the fall as Seniors, and to make good in the year of opportunity that the class separated for the summer vaca- tion. When they did so return, they developed a strength and power never before realized, and without undue pride the girls might have said that they had made good. At this time, all those forces which tend to bind a class together and which foster that love for class which later broadens out into the nobler and deeper feeling of love for North Adams Normal School began to act. After a most delightful summer, every one in the class thought she knew all about the moon, but Mr. Eldridge told them things about this planet of which they had never dreamed before. Speaking of Geography, one must mention the spirited arguments which took place in the same room, over the English language, namely-the difference between an idea and a thought. The History periods were said to be ones of intense interest, and they were never inter- rupted except by the dismissal bell or the snoring of some fair creature in the back of the room. That part of the normal school charter which states that the purpose of a normal school is to make a girl either a school teacher or a good housewife was surely carried out on the third floor with Miss Varrell. The girls all felt that if the saying: The way to a man's heart is thru his stomach, is true, they all would be successful,-if not as school teachers, then as housewives. In many parts of the history it was stated that the girls should not be blamed if their attitude was not always befitting one in the profession of teaching, because it was not really their fault, but the fault of the chromosomes. The class of 1918 never posed as iconoclastic. Yet during the senior year it strongly and effectively opposed certain influences which, tho common from long usage, were of rather questionable benefit to the school, as well as to the girls themselves, such as afternoon theater parties, walks around the flat-iron, Sunday evening strolls, and the use of slang. On leaving this school of knowledge, 1918 had bright prospects ahead of it. The class was remarkable for the number of clear-headed, clear-thinking women which it contained, Women who went out into the world to do their share of the great task of making boys and girls into future law-abiding, patriotic citizens of our country.

Constance Harrington V nu. 67 1918 NORMALOGUE ibrnpbenp nn .1Brupbet SN'T it the queerest thing how time does fly! To think that I have been living ten long years since my happy days in N. A. N. S. I can call to mind the feeling of being so impatient as I sat facing the audience, trying to look like a real teacher with at least ten years of experience, while down in my heart I felt like a second Paul Revere solicitiously waiting for the opening of the gates of that wide field of experience which lay before me. Yes, I remember only too well our Class Prophetess, at least as she stood before the large public and revealed the future of each and everyone of us, who sat with wide eyes and open mouths, lest a word here or there should not make its impression in the proper brain cell. As for her name, I cannot tell you just now, it seems to me that she firmly upheld the cause of that down-trodden creature known as woman. If I remember rightly, her name was not at all suggestive. Was it Pro or Con? Con, Con,-it was something like that and yet not exactly. Con, Con, Connie, Connie Harrington-that's her name! How did I ever remember it? Oh, things come to me just like that. Q' Can the Constance Harrington who is to speak on Liberty Street this evening be she? I'll start immediately and see for myself. Wouldn't it be strange if it were she! but I can't help wondering what she could be doing here in the Philippine Islands. Why, I've never seen such an immense crowd of Filipino women since I came! Look! they're all nodding their heads and cheering the speaker. If it isn't Connie! What is it she's saying? Fellow-women, -we'll have the ballot, yes, each and everyone of us, if, if, if, well-if we hav h-m-m -well, to marry to get it. But remember this, 'Every woman must keep a school, for every man is born a fool.' I'd like to have heard the beginning of that speech, but then I guess I know what it was about. Did you say something? Oh, you were just saying you thought so, too? I certainly must see Connie before she starts. What a stubborn crowd that was to push thru! Tess! Is that you? I can hardly believe my eyes! Yes, yes, come on with meg these people are so excited over the information you gave, that they refuse to leave the square. Come up to the house and tell me all about yourself. When did you come? How long are you going to stay? Tell me all. Well, to begin with, now that we are free from those women, I'll explain. The govern- ment has paid back what I loaned for Liberty bonds ten years ago. just think! we're-well, as much as ten years older now than we were ten years ago. It doesn't seem possible and yet it is true. With so much money on hand, I felt duty bound to aid these unfortunate people, especially the women. I've been here but three months, and in that short time Ihave per- suaded the girls to adopt my new study gown which was appreciated by so few in N. A. Re- member? I 'm gradually remodelling the street costumes, but the people here must be afraid they'l1 catch cold. If they wish to continue aesthetic dancing, they'll have to dispense with high heels and attend my gymnasium more regularly. Then, too, they were disgustingly slow in accepting my views on evolution. It was a whole month before those men condescended to believe that they and woman and the monkey had the same common ancestor. Think of it! After that we had tea and reminisced for hours. I learned much of her wandering life since I had seen her last. The fact that she still retained her keen interest in life promised well for the good work which she had begun. Theresa M.

Because of the mechanism of these, every one is guaranteed to stand up like a proud American during the rendering of the aforementioned songs.

The Pony Engine, by this means, cannot only be learned Without effort. but, by action of the motor, will make the engine sound much more vivid and realistic.

Eating those war dishes was always a welcome tho indi- gestible diversion from the otherwise rigid routine. We also intrust to her care for use of the next cooking class Georgia's recipe for Honeymoon Sauce. To Mr. Eldridge-A rather complicated dynamo. It will be found most satisfactory in teaching the phases of the Moon. By it, the head of everyone is made reversible and adjustable to all corners. A special attachment will cause product maps and booklets to be in on date due, no extra time allowed. To Mr. Smith-A set of very minute and intricate maps. By pressing levers to the right every member of Senior History Class repeats unhesitatingly and in absolutely correct order, the early discoverers and explorers, the territory explored and the flags under which they sailed. They can also easily decide for eternity the question, Are all men created equal?

Fruitage of Summer from seeds of Spring We glimpse thru the opening gates Promise of Life and its blossoming Where the glad Tomorrow waits. Kathryn Toolan 72 1918 NORMALOGUE ilhp QBratinn S a parting token and symbol of our loyalty and reverence to our Alma Mater, we, the class of 1918 who go forth into the world today, plant this ivy. This tiny green vine will soon spring forth into new life, its tendrils and leaves appear as it ascends sky- ward, clinging to these Walls as a support and foundation, remaining firm through storm and sunshine, ever loyal to its stronghold. When we gaze at this plant we see not only the shining green leaves, but the symbol of loyalty, faithfulness, service, and cooperation, as the new life starts on its journey upward. Thus today, classmates, do we set out on our long and weary journey. We shall meet with difiiculties here and there on our road to Success, but shall we be dismayed? We shall cling to this institution within whose walls we have spent two happy years, happy at work and play, in failure and success, and the memory of this, our Alma Mater, will encourage us on to greater things, for in this day of strife there are great things to be accomplished. Far on the other side of the water our boys are sacrincing their all for that government which has been their support and foundation. Is there not for us here at home a work to do? Shall We stand idly by while they are giving their utmost in our behalf? Forever shall We remain true to those principles given us by our Alma Mater and prove ourselves worthy of the name that we hold. There is a broad field for us to work in, broader by far than we think, but as the tiny tendrils of the ivy remain loyal to their stronghold, so shall we, each and every one of us, abide by the ties which have made us one. In this day of struggle mothers are giving their sons, and sons giving all that is manly for the cause of humanity. The cry is Each for all, and as the tiny tendrils each do their part toward making the plant larger and stronger, so it is our duty to do our best toward making the world a safer and better place to live in. ' I would be a friend of all-the poor, the friendlessg I would be a giver, and forget the gift, I would be humble, for I know my weakness, I would look up, and laugh, and lift. At first, having only a few small leaves, this plant will in time grow and develop into a beauti- ful vine, ever gaining strength and beauty. We cannot but feel that we shall be inspired by the sight of this, and commence our journey Hrm in the resolve to grow. This is no day for narrow- ness. The spirit of democracy is surging forward, and we have been taught and have practised this, so that it is our mission to the world to grow stronger in the element, spreading its teach- ings everywhere in the broad field in which we are to work. It is not by one or two of us that we can accomplish this desired end, but as we see in the ivy that each leaf does its part, so must we, individually, do ours. There's never a rose in all the World But makes some green spray sweeter, There's never a Wind in all the sky, But makes some bird wing fleeter. There's never a star but brings to Heaven, Some silver radiance tender, And never a rosy cloud but helps To crown the sunset splendor, N o robin but may thrill some heart This dawn like gladness voicing. God gives us all some small sweet way, To set the World rejoicing. ll Marguerite V.
