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. S., none of her pupils will ever play truant for want of variety. That she may have the greatest success in whatever line her teaching may be directed, is the wish of her loving classmates. 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

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 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. Zlrma lkatz Burnley NORTHAMPTON, Mass. For if she will, she will, you may depend on'l And if she worL'l, she won'l, so lhere's an end orz.'t. 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
