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

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

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
