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

ISS Varrell is a graduate of Amesbury High School, Mary Hemenway Department of Household Arts at Framingham Normal and has attended Simmons Summer School.

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

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
