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

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

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
