This, to say the least, was our good fortune, and the wealth of practical knowledge which is ours today, is due largely to her WWW? guidance and inspiration. The rare gift of being not only teacher but comrade is hers, and many times our spirits have been brightened by her cheery smiles and helpful words. We shall miss her charming personality when We leave our Alma Mater, but we shall always cherish fond memories, and as a parting token of respect and admiration, we dedicate this book.

N J WO very happy and busy years have passed for the Class of Nineteen-nineteen on the hill. I They have been two years when pleasant friendships have been formed, when new ideals have taken certain form, and when responsibility has definitely placed itself upon our shoulders. But We have come to that place in our careers when we must look upon the World, and look at it directly and unflinchingly. We realize that We shall all receive its knocks and accept its happiness, but due to the training of our Alma Mater we feel adequately equipped and fitted for all that life may bring to us. It is true that we shall start at the bottom round of the ladder, but who can tell how soon we shall hold the top round within our grasp? When We look back over the past and ponder it in our minds, North Adams Normal will stand as a splendid example of democracy, and a living memorial to fine ideals. I-1 I I-' I IZ IIE' I 4,-1.

The Seniors have recently learned that he truly holds forth the doctrine, Hard Work is good for the soul. Does he believe in Work all of the time? No, for our principal can be interrupted on any occasion that the Household Arts girls serve doughnuts and coffee. ln leaving him we go armed with acquired wisdom and with greater courage to meet the future. William Marg Qi Earight Friends Romans countrymen lend me your ears! EEP silence falls upon tho e assembled within the sound of her voice when Miss Baright begins. Many f of us never heard anything really read until we heard her Nor is this all that she can do No one can laugh more heartily than she who bubbles over with contagious laughter making us all resort to mirth when something humorous IS said She can also make us tremble with fear when There will always be a warm spot in our hearts for Miss Barlght for we shall ever remember her as one of the truest friends and best helpers we had at Normal. When we come back to visit after our first flight , we shall be sure to look up Miss Baright and give her the glad hand We hope she will be here to welcome us. NORMALOGUE gg W g -11 Mr. illng Evan Smith R. SMITH is a native of Norwich, New York. If you know Mr. Smith, you must know the foregoing facts, for who has not heard why he gives his name in full or some anecdote concerning his home town or state? Mr. Smith fancies a great many things, one of which is, that we may some day possess wings,eto be used as a means of locomotion. He received his early education in the schools of Nor- wich. In 1904 he graduated from Syracuse University, after which he taught, first as vice-principal and later as principal, at Freeport, N. Y. Besides his teaching, le has done graduate work in Teachers' College, at Columbia University, specializing in History, Philosophy, and Edu- cation. At N. A. N. S. Mr. Smith has taught us in History, Economics, Zoology, and Botany, including garden work. His splendid example has been a help to all of us. Many times have we girls been heard to say, When I get out teaching, I shall try to be as good-natured, interest- ing, and efficient as Mr. Smith. -- 12 JNORMALOGUE frlllr. Alhrrt 6. Elhrihgr HAT would our Normal School do without this member of the faculty? Where could any class find a person more helpful, unselfish, and companionable than Mr. Eld- ridge? Surely, none of us can ever forget his helpful sug- gestions given to the Editorial Staff, in order that the Normalogue might be a success. His time was our time, and we as a class take this means of expressing our very deep appreciation for his untiring efforts on our behalf. Mr. Eldridge has taught to us Geography, Language, Grammar, and History of Education. In his classes he has never failed to find many excellent points in our work, and many helpful suggestions have we gained under his instruction. We wish him a great measure of success in his work throughout the coming years, and We hope that all enter- ing classes may be as fortunate in having Mr. Eldridge's help as 1919 has been. Irijl mimi illnna EE. Svrarlr ISS Searle has been our instructor in mathematics, -' and the enthusiastic director of our Glee Club and chorus. She graduated from Westfield Normal, and since then has taken special courses in her subjects. Before coming to her position here, she taught at Easthampton, Newton, and at the Mark Hopkins Training School. Our feeling for her is best expressed in the following . lines: They give it now a passing thought But down the years to be, Their hearts to her will back be brought, With love and deep sincerity. Knowing that then they did not dream How skillfully she helped them grow, ln heart and thought to see 'the gleam', And follow. This to her they'll owe.

Sh,e possesses an abundance of good nature, and her merry laugh can be heard at almost any time of day, making all forget their cares and worries, and join in with her whole- heartedly. But this does not mean that Miss Waterman does not see the serious side of life, too. She may be found at her desk busily engaged the greater part of the day. Her ability as a producer of very fine limericks is marked and often she can be heard reciting them at the table in such a pleasing way that they never fail to produce the right effect. We shall always remember Miss Waterman when we leave N. A. N. S., and shall associate with her good nature, spontaneity and the ability to accomplish the most in the shortest time. l frlllwn Elmru EH Eruhrn True worth is in being, not seeming, In doing, each day as it goes by, Some little good-not in dreaming Of great things to do by and by. O know Miss Braden is to understand the preceding lines from Alice Cary's poem. For the past two years, Miss Braden has been nominally, Assistant in the Extension Department, but really an assistant to anyone in the school in need of advice, help, or encouragement. She is well qualified for her position, having graduated from the Lowell High School and Lowell Commercial College, besides doing graduate work at Simmons and with Chicago University. We can best show our appreciation of all Miss Braden has done for us, and of what she has meant to us by saying,- We have you fast in our fortress, And will not let you depart, But put you down in the dungeon In the round-tower of our hearts. And there will we keep you forever, Yes, forever and a day, Till the walls shall crumble to ruin, And moulder in dust away! NORMALOGUE SX illiaa Annie CE. Qkvrle Thou must thyself be true, If thou the truth wouldst teachg Thy soul must overflow If thou a soul wouldst reachg It takes the heart's o'erflow To give the lips full speech. I HIS quotation seems to suit Miss Skeele exactly and to us it is her standard for teaching. She is also an enthusiastic believer in the saying, A sound mind in a sound body. Very zealously has Miss Skeele striven to make us see the truth of this saying. To her credit it was that we became quite enlightened upon the subject of Hygiene during our Junior year. And how she aroused our enthusiasm for gym ! Many have been the good times which we enjoyed under her direction. We sincerely hope that all future classes may receive as much help and encouragement from her as have We. Iii Hum Marg QE. lirnrann ISS Pearson, our art instructor, has studied for a number of years both in this country and abroad. Through her faithful teaching we have become able to interpret the beauties of nature around us and take en- joyment in especially fine artistic effects. Surely we have enjoyed her classes and have been interested in trying our skill in making the designs suggested. Oftentimes it required a good imagination to understand just what we were trying to represent, yet she was always very patient with us. Our class, as a unit, will endeavor to progress in onward, consistent movement, especially mindful of rhythm. We shall remember one definition, however, above all the rest, and that is, Good taste is discriminating judgment. NORMALOGUE 15 illllims Annie 31. ifiamphirr NOTHER member of our' faculty, is Miss Lamphier, who has been our instructor in elementary handi- craft. Thru her exact directions we have learned to make many useful things. To her We are indebted for the patience which she showed to us during our first half year of training, when the tasks Which were put before us seemed so difficult. Altho we had to work hard for many hours before we finished making baskets, chair-seats, booklets, and innumerable other things, Miss Lamphier made sure that each was done, and done right. Her willingness to do whatever We asked of her for the benefit of the class will always be appreciated and will never be forgotten by us. She has left With us this motto: Whatever you do, do right. And each task Will be light. Mir. Zilhnnmn ZH. Glumminga I 'J VERYONE who ever attended Normal School looks uipon Mr. Cummings' room as a haven of refuge. In his workroom, Mr. Cummings strives very hard to teach the girls how to use the saw and chisel. Here We make everything from chair seats to doll furniture, and some aspire even to hopeless chests. 'Mr. Cummings is never seen at Chapel and we all Wonder Why C?J. Although he has been at the Normal School for only a few years, his unfailing good nature and pleasant smile have made him one of our most popular teachers. The class of 1919 Wishes him the best of luck in all he may undertake. Mrs El1:aC5 Gramm NORMALOGUE frlllrs. Burma JB. Qinurh 'li VERYONE has an ideal. As each girl enters Mrs. Couch's class for the first time, she realizes that she has met an ideal. This impression grows and strengthens through the two strenuous years at Normal. When our troubles have become too great to bear, here we find comfort and solace. Never can we express in Words how We love and respect her, and We all shall con- sider our life's occupation successful if We can attain the standard which she has set for us. l f :HF you want to feel the shivers run up and down your back, just listen while Mrs. Graves tells a ghost story! She tells about real ghosts , and then, too, she can tell you other stories-the loveliest kind of stories, about the South, and what she did when slze was a girl and lived in Kentucky. No Wonder that we love to sit at her table! We think that those who do not study Kindergarten under her supervision miss a great deal. Her wide exper- ience and unusual helpfulness have given her the opportun- ity of placing those who desire a knowledge of kinder- garten theory upon their feet, and have inspired them to higher ideals. To study with Mrs. Graves is a great privi- lege, and those who graduate from her classes feel that they owe to her the greatest appreciation and affection. NOR-MALOGUE fllllrn. Efhrrza llan Emu . OUR MOTHER Back to our days at Taconic Hall Down the path of memory turning, We seek the one who was ever dear To our hearts, and we look with yearning For a queenly form and a loving look, For a crown of silvery whiteness, A heart so large it could hold us all, We can never forget that likeness!

If you hear especially hilarious laughter during the noon hour, you may know that Jess is around. But she can be serious as well as gay. Oh, how clever she is! If she once starts out to do a thing you may be sure she will finish it. She has made a splendid Glee Club leader and we under- stand she is greatly interested in other Glee Clubs and in- cidentally C?j in their leadersf Perhaps, too, this is why, in the econlomics class, she was especially partial to Cthej Good-rich. We are sure Jess will make a splendid teacher and the best wishes of 1919 go with her. MILDRED R. BARTON, Greenfield, Mass. Laugh, and the world laughs with you 5 Weep, and you weep alone. ' IL seems to understand thoroughly this saying. We see frequent demonstrations of the former, While as for the latter-? After a few minutes conversation with Mil, you would discover that she comes from Greenfield, that she has many ideas on just as many subjects, that she loves to argue, preferably on the negative, regardless of the subject, and that she can be depended on to either in class, out of class, or at the table. She has not been Over There, as you might infer from her collection of war trophies, to appreciate which you should visit Room 21. However, she is merely saving valuable teaching material for young Americans. The future must hold much for Mil, -exactly what we cannot tell, so we say- Adieu, dear, amiable girl!

By her quiet and loving ways, she won our hearts during her first year at Normal. Although she is faithful to her studies, she never misses a good time. If there is fun to be had, Marion is sure to be an ardent leader of the group. We have heard that she has a liking for Bills . Perhaps this is one reason why she intends to teach in her home town in the fall. The best wishes of 1919 go with her, and we know that she will succeed. Work done. HELEN F.

' Climatic conditions in room 35,-where this young lady spent part of her Junior year and all of her Senior year,-are especially favorable for wavy hair and midnight pow-wows. Many of us will grieve when leaving June , for- to whom shall we now go for advice? ANNA H. CROFTS, North Adams, Mass. She hath a natural, wise sincerity, A simple truthfulness, and these have lent her A dignity as moveless as the centre. NE whom We can never forget is Anna. She must have some magnetic power, for all who come in Contact with l' er, love her. Slte is ever ready to help the poor and weak with their lessons. Slze seems to know everything about every subject. Lesson plans? Why, they do not bother her! She could write a dozen while one of the rest of us could not write one.

What would be our weekly class plays without her? Her ability to take the part of an old man in this work is especially fine. During her second year at Normal, Louise decided to take the Household Arts Course, in order to specialize in making sponge cake according to recipes received through Various sources.

Madeline has helped to make our dances a great success, for at dancing she is an artist. Too much cannot be said in her praise, if time and space permitted, even a book would not suffice.

BEAR little Anna, the class midget, always delights us with her merry laughter and constant wit. Many times the class would be monotonous were it not for her peculiar emphasis and gestures. Who will ever forget Frankie's interpretation of Hiawatha's hunting? She might have brought down big game had not the arrowebeen pointed directly at her own ear. Did anyone ever hear her coming down the hall, clogging along in her Juliets, which consist mainly of heels and fur? One might think that General Pershing's army was approaching in the distance.

However, she has her own fixed ideas about certain subjects,-lesson plans, for instance,- ideas to which she clings, and which she refuses to abandon. Her ability along musical lines has been appreciated by every one of us, and it has been with great pleasure that we have waited every morning for the response in Chapel. Her playing has made us really appreciate and love the beautiful. We feel that in the future Grace may become interested in music to such an extent as to be an instructor in that particular arty and, if she does, we are sure that she will make it as much of a success as she makes everything else which she attempts.

We expect great things from her, and our good wishes follow her wherever her life work may lead. NORMALOGUE 33 MABEL L. PURCELL, Pownal, Vt. There lies a deal of deviltry Beneath that mild exterior. ABEL belongs to the Trolley Brigade, and travels many miles every morning to learn the art of teaching. There's a reason for everything she does. We all remember the goals she made for us in gym , and the good times she had out of school, 'n'everything. She's an all-around good girl. Smithy's brain power is a true product of the Green Mountain State. 8 LULU RATHBUN, Pownal, Vt. Whoso Hndeth a wife, findeth a good thing. EF OR the benefit of a few, we might mention that this winning and unassuming girl comes to us from far off South Dakota. She spends most of her time at Taconic Hall, but goes home week-ends to see-her folks. Not every class can boast of a member who is about to be married, but we point with pride to ours. Yes, Lu is to take unto herself a loadstone in the form of a husband. It is said that Lu never misses a gymnasium period. You should see her play basket ball,-then you would understand why the members of each team always want her to play on their side. Lulu is one of the most companionable, sociable, good- humored girls of our class. If these qualities, combined with determination, can help anyone to succeed, she is surely bound for success. NORMALOGUE LILLIAN R. SCHRODER, Adams, Mass.

What Al could we have done without her during our noon hours which she shortened with her humor, dramatization, and singing? It takes Lili to make things move, class play and other social functions included. She is our class prophet, and has a great power of in- sight into the future. She always walks with a martial air and military tread, yet even so, Lill insists on speaking of herself as an old-maid school teacher . But time will tell, time will tell. LUCY B. SEARS, Dalton, Mass. At the foot of Greylock Mountain, In the Valley of the Hoosac, Stands a hall they call Taconic. Through the valleys in the Berkshires, From the little town of Dalton, To this lofty dormitory, Came thc maiden Lucy Sears. Ye who know her need no foreword, Of her strivings and achievements. When new tasks are set before her, She it is who goes to working, Never resting 'til 'tis finished. President of Student Council, Quiets all the noisy chickens, Darkens al l bright corridors When the Clock strikes quarter after. Should you ask me, I should tell you, When in search of animation, Go thou to the gifted maiden A Get from her thy inspiration.

T NNA came up the Connecticut valley and thro' the man-made wonder in Ho-osac Mountain from Florence f- a suburb of Northampton, you know. Soon she became a vital element in class and social ,'rooin. For it is safe to say that Anna has a decided opinion ion every subject under the sun, and she usually manages ' to make us see her point of view. However, she does not ispend all of her time in forming and expressing opinions, ,she believes that youth comes only once, and hence she lenjoys life to the full. E There is no doubt that she has her weak points, just ask her how to pronounce woman , or, better still, question -for her favorite animals. Surely, her avocation will be the training of wild ones. ' There is no question in the minds of her associates about Anna's future success. But as for her long continuance at teaching, we doubt it. In two years, we venture to pre- dict, she will be stump-speaking to down-trodden women. HELEN M. SMITH, Pittsfield, Mass.

Her whistles you should hear it, and her smile-you should see it, and you would surely be convinced. As a Club Member , Helen could vie with any of us along the line of eats , She certainly could do justice to a feed . And did you ever hear Helen argue? You might just as well give in to begin with, for if you didn't then, you surely would have to do it later. This member of our Literary Club, whether in the club or in the audience, was a wide awake critic. Woe unto the one who should mispronounce a word! . Whether or not she will use in teaching the knowledge gained at N. A. N.

TRACY, Pittsneld, Mass. Still waters run deep. EO appreciate Marg's sense of humor and really know her worth, one must be intimately acquainted with her. One should spend a night on Fifth Avenue at Taconic Hall, and see her take part in acrobatic stunts and in the musical program which is rendered by the quintet of which she is a member. Although Marg likes good times, she does not let them interfere With her class Work. The constancy which has helped her at N. A. N. S. will surely make her successful in whatever she undertakes. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace. -EEVERY Monday morning sees Annie trudging up the hill that leads to Taconic Hall. Promptly at nine A.

Every evening finds her poring over her studies until 10.155 then darkness reigns. This happens, of course, ex- cepting on Wednesday evening when the Student Council holds forth, and on week-ends, as she then returns to her parental home.

As Juniors, we did our best to help by singing and by selling tickets for the 1918 concert. At the beginning of our Senior year, there were very few Glee Club members. We began at once, with Miss Searle's help, to enlarge the membership among the Seniors and among the more talented of the Juniors. The Juniors gave us also three violinists, whom we were very glad to welcome. The climax of our rehearsals was the 1919 concert, held on the evening of Friday, May 16. As Miss Searle tries each year to have something different on the program, this year We had a Community Sing , which the audience enjoyed tothe full. We, on our part,were delighted with the male voices that rose from that part of the hall in which Mr. Smith sat. The Juniors sang a stanza of Belgian Rose , while the audience joined in on the chorus. The Seniors then sang Joan of Arc . One Senior sang the solo part of Somewhere in France , while the people sang the chorus with her. A feature especially enjoyed was the singing of Keep the Home Fires Burning and The Long, Long Trail , combining the choruses. This year the sale of tickets was greater than it has been in previous years. Many thanks are due to Miss Searle, who gave her time, thought, and attention to the rehearsals for the recital. We appreciate her work now, and more and more we shall appreciate it in the years to come. Vera G. Andrews. PROGRAM Maybell and the Flowers. . . .............. ....

Lucy Sears, who, as June Haverhill, a Wellesley college girl, took the part of leading lady, disguised herself under the name of Ellen, and was hired by a young and newly married couple as a housemaid. Here she met Max Ten Eych. Louise Cummings took this part and proposed and cursed in the most approved fashion. Christine Madison and Mary Nagle as Richard Ford and Molly, the re- cently married couple took their parts most efficiently. Dorothy March, impersonated by Anna Shannon, a guest at the Ford home, was engaged to Max. During the play she broke the engagement, but finally discovered her mistake, and peace and happiness reigned again. Mildred Barton, as Robert Shepard, Molly's brother, assumed the role of leading man, and finally persuaded Ellen to elope with him. ' The part of John Hume, Rector of St. Agnes', was taken by Annie Wood. Hume was very bashful and self-conscious and produced the most humorous element in the play. Thanks to Miss Baright's careful and eflicient training, the play was a complete and gratifying success. Lulu Rathbun. Eyfazzagaza Ezzaaa 42 NORMALOGUE Ihr Eanquvt Time-7.30 P. M., May 28, 1919. Place-Richmond Hotel, North Adams, Mass. Characters-Class of 1919. With bright lights, pretty flowers, and a laughing, happy throng,-thus began our Class Banquet, which will be one of our most cherished social remembrances. The fun started when our President, who looked most charming at the head of the table, requested that we sing, Hail, Hail, and then Jess rose to the occasion and did credit to her reputation as Glee Club leader. In fact, Jess put even more snap into an already snappy affair by singing original songs and parodies, such as-but, sh !-those are class secrets. Suffice it to say that many of the Richmond guests ventured often to peep in at us. . Then the dinner was served and,as the boys say, we had- Some eats! Our enjoyment was increased still further when our President called upon Miss Schroder to give a toast To the Faculty, and Lill, although she assured us that she was no poet, certainly made good in this line. Then toasts to our patronesses, Miss Varrell and Miss McGowan, were well given by Miss Carver. Miss Shannon followed with a toast to Social Affairs , which she declared was free verse . Mil Barton won applause with her toast To the Man Dances . Miss Nagle's toast To the Athletes was given as only Mary could give a toast on that subject, and when Louise Cummings responded to a toast on Us Quiet Ones , we wondered how Lou could ever do it! When it came to Knocks , Miss Parsons certainly lived up to her reputation. Dainty and sprightly was the toast to our winsome President which Miss Harrington gave, and it was well, for is not Betty one of Helena's chums? Then Christine Madison, our own little Chrissy gave a most clever toast To the J uniors . We shall never forget the abounding affection expressed in Miss Varrell's toast To the Seniors , nor the true friendship expressed in Miss McGowan's toast, which was also To the Seniors . With these the speaking ended. Still the fun was not over, for was there not a piano at hand, and a perfectly good dance floor, and, besides, had not some of the more thoughtful members brought their music? If Miss Skeele could have seen The Seven Jumps being given in the Richmond Hotel--well, she would realize that our gym work had not been in vain, and that some of it had carried over. But, as the saying goes- All good things come to an end, and so it was that somehow the hands of the clocks stole swiftly around to 10:30, and with the sing- ing of Alma Mater the merriment ceased. --Anna H.

The orchestra, too, was union-made And couldn't be hired, for they were afraid The powers that be would not agree. We hate to think of the punch so weak, But no one's breath of it did reek. Then, the gowns and complexions were quite perfectionsg All the guests had a spiffy time, And danced right to eleven, not nine, Right to the tune of some Hjingly jime .

During the teaching period of Class B, Class A spent from nine to eleven o'clock every Wednesday with Mr. Eldridge, our geography instructor, visiting the following mills: Windsor Print Works, Eclipse Mill, Briggsville Mill, L. L., Brown Paper Co. at Adams, Keith's Shoe Factory, Barber Leather Company, Hunter Foundry, Ellis Factory. Each time we learned things innumerable. We observed the careful and expert handling of machinery which was required in producing the goods which we purchase. After seeing the many different processes through which every material goes before becoming a finished product, we were not surprised at the high cost of the article when bought at a store. At the Windsor Print Works we were impressed especially with the delicate and trying works which the engravers did in order that we might have printed goods. Later, as our class went into training again, we found that the knowledge gained on these trips was very useful. We were able to tell the children about the manu- facturing plants of the city in a more interesting manner and with a clearer idea than if we had just read about them from a book. Each girl feels that she is indebted to Mr. Eldridge for arranging these visits for us, and we sincerely hope that each succeeding class may have the same opportunity. -Helen F. Brown 'hr an Ranma ERHAPS two of the most enjoyable occasions which took place in our Senior year were the man dances , which were held at Taconic Hall on the evenings of January twenty- fourth and February twenty-first. A house meeting was called for the purpose of suggesting a man dance , a suggestion which met with instant approval. The motion was made and seconded that a committee con- sisting of both Juniors and Seniors should go to Mr. Murdock and ask his permission that plans for one might be made. We waited patiently for his answer, and certainly received it with great joy. Preparations were immediately made by various committees chosen by the dormitory girls. It seemed ages before the day arrived. But when it did come, everyone was very excited. Various preparations were still going on, and every minute was used to best advantage. After dinner everyone was dolling up , in order to make a pleasing appearance be- fore the young gentlemen. At half past seven, one could hear nothing but door bells and tele- phones ringing. The guests were beginning to enter the sacred doors of the dormitory, Where they were greeted by handsome and blushing Juniors, who ushered them to the guest rooms. At eight o'clock, the receiving line was formed. Each couple passed up to be in- spected and introduced. Dancing was enjoyed until eleven o'clock, after which came the farewells and ex- pressions of satisfaction to the Receiving Committee. Every one seemed to linger, for the hour of parting had arrived all too soon. Slowly and sadly we bade our friends goodnight, and then we mounted the stairs to retire, but not to slumber. At last, however, silence once more reigned supreme within the realm of Taconic Hall. Madeline H.

You never saw the beat of them, Trooping in at noontime with their white throats bare 5 Letter-crazed and mirth-mad, music in the feet of them, Swinging up the stairway to their rooms somewhere. 'IN the fall of 1917, nine stout-hearted Juniors took up the life of Taconic Hall, feel- ing so unnecessary in the presence of the many Seniors. It was a common feel- ing until the Reception for the Juniors arrived and we came to know our superiors as friends. While getting used to this unnatural life, Haberdasher's Fall Opening , which took place on the third floor one night after study hour, gave us a hint as to the kind of fun we should have during the year. Connie , resplendent in a tilmy evening gown waltzed up and down the hall, while inwardly we questioned our future ability to act thus before teachers. Tess grew faint-hearted, and refused to display an attractive bathing suit. Mabel, in her rose-colored lounging robe jus' from Noo Yoik , was heartily cheered. One night about 11 P. M. the occupants of rooms 15 and 16 awoke in dismay to hear the fire gong ringing. Carrying their goods and chattels, they rushed out just in time to hear the last faint flutterings of a Big Ben in the hall above. Adapting one's own actions to the limits of the Council Rules was the hardest of many hard things which we learned to do during that first year. Those Council members were omnipresent, and we often wondered if they policed the building at night for curtains left up by mistake. Noise was absolutely prohibited at any hour of the day, and glancing with one eye towards a member of the male sex was sure to be followed by a death sentence pronounced by the high court held every Wednesday in the Music Room. When four of our number were elected as members of the Council by a majority vote of the Seniors, we mourned them as lost. The dances during the year were given over entirely for the benefit of the Senior class. 54 NORMALOGUE June came at last, and we were indeed sorry to say good-bye, especially to those who were leaving for the last time. Dear Peg , the ideal of our Junior year was indeed hard to leave. But to our own classmates we could say, See you later. Oh, what a difference there is when one becomes a Senior! It is almost a feel- ing of freedom. Some of our band had scattered, but others came and swelled our numbers first to twelve and then to thirteen, so that the Fall found us a baker's dozen, ready for the struggles ahead. Dear old Marj , the girl who would dare anything among the girls, but who in the presence of the teachers was as meek as a lamb, was teaching school in Rowe. Life went on about as usual, sandwiched with the Reception to the Juniors and occasional motherly advice to those same irresponsible persons. In October, school closed for three weeks on account of the influenza epidemic. The instructors were cau- tioned to give us enough work to last at least two weeks, and, true to duty, three months' work and paper to do it on was lavished upon us, yet the girls .went home happy. Light hearts and thoughts of vacation go hand in hand. Some few stayed in the dorm to make a mighty attempt at work. They rolled six cots into room 36 and had the merriest of times, especially at night. Pillow fights with the janitor were great sport, and a feed now and then helped to while away the time. The Barracks, No Man's Land, the Mess Hall, and the White House will never be forgotten by the officers and privates of the third floor. Fire drills are occasions of deep responsibility on the part of everyone, so we decided to initiate the Juniors. With the help of Mrs. Van Etten and the teachers, We had a fire drill which made a red letter night in the history of Taconic Hall. Having gathered our worldly goods in suit cases, and waste baskets, we waited for the alarm. At the first clang, we burst from our rooms and rushed to those of the Juniors, shouting orders. Open your windows! Shut your closet doors! Don't go without your hat and heavy coat! Lace your shoes! Put your most valuable possessions in your bag and run! Fairly stunned at the thought of being burned alive, they ran hither and thither, making futile attempts to carry out the orders. Gathering their lampshades in their arms, they departed for the lower regions, where a motley crowd was assembled and the poor unfortunates were forced to come forth and display what they had saved. Helen, in the role of matron, questioned the girls and teachers. Will Mrs. Graves wrapped in bath towels, ever be forgotten? At Christmas time, we hung up our stockings, red, green, pink, blue, brown, black and white, in the Dance Hall near the fireplace and helped to fill with jokes all except our own. Mrs. Van Etten was presented with a great red stocking, peeping out of which was a red and white 'candy cane and the amber handle of a purple silk umbrella. After listening to the reading of Dere Mable , we danced until 10:30 before going to our waiting cots. Feeds held after lights out are the delight of every real sport. Stealing along the dim corridors towards the place of rendezvous is part of the fun. Then the feed! Salad, sandwiches, olives, pickles, lemon pies, cookies, cake, doughnuts, dormitory punch, and fudge will always have a charm for those who have tasted them in the wee small hours. Pages more might be written if time and space permitted, but memories of the couch in the Social Room, of baths of bluing water and purple ink, of exercises to develop the arm muscles, taken each time a sufficient inducement presented itself in the immediate vicinity of the dormitory, and of silver dollars on the basement Hoor may serve in future years to blot out care and sorrow. If so, those hours have not been spent in vain! Lucy B. Sears. Qwrrptiun tn thr Zluninra 9' ECAUSE of the influenza epidemic, the annual reception usually given to the B Juniors by the Seniors, on the second Friday after the opening of school, was postponed for a few weeks. Finally, however, the Seniors were able to entertain their new school friends. After the Juniors had been duly received, a musical and literary program was carried out by members of the Senior Class, after which dancing was enjoyed for the rest of the evening. It was a most pleasant occasion and all who were there expressed them- selves as having had a most enjoyable time. -Margaret M. Tracy. Ihr 'L6allnmr'm 1Bz1rig HAT would a Hallowe'en be without a masquerade? We were fortunate in having a most enjoyable Hallowe'en party the Friday evening preceding October 31st, when the Juniors gave to us an entertainment, surpassing previous attempts of this kind. If one could have seen the gaily arrayed, masked in- dividuals, as they formed a double line in the school building, he would have felt him self taking a swift trip to various countries and nations, for the costumes were Widely varied. The procession led by Miss Armstrong and Miss Wood started through the dark and uncanny subway. Who can forget the horrors of that place? The screams and rattlings which we heard, were enough to make one's hair stand on end and although our hearts were beating with unusual rapidity, we all put on a brave front and stalked boldly forward. Occasionally awet ,slimy sponge passed quickly over one's face or an especially helpful boost with a broom by a ghost startled one. However, the subway was soon passed, and the lights of the gym came into view. Here the Juniors really proved themselves very capable of amusing an aud- ience, and the stunts which they performed kept us all in gales of laughter. But alas! The Juniors felt it necessary to hear from the Seniors, and to our amazement, extemporaneous stunts were called for. While we were given time to think over some feat, Miss Creelan's and Miss McCann's fantastic dancing was thoroughly enjoyed. We could not be outdone, of course, so we sang The Harvard Student and other paro- dies. Even vaudeville stunts were given, and correct demonstrations of graceful turn- ing down a hall were demonstrated. None of us will ever forget the exciting peanut races, apple duckings, or doughnut contests, with the strings just long enough for the doughnuts to hang tempt- ingly just above one's nose! And the pop-corn baskets! Yes, they were there, too, but you have guessed correctly when you say that their contents soon disappeared. Prizes for the winning of the races were solemnly awarded, and the tin soldiers or tiny tin animals were guarded most sacredly for the rest of the evening. To end the party in the right way, dancing was enjoyed by all until eleven o'clock, after which everyone went home, happy and pleased with the evening. -Mabel T.

This departure took the form of a series of highly successful demonstrations of our culinary skill, beginning with luncheons, and concluding with a Valentine's dinner all arranged, prepared and served by the girls of the class. Responsibility for the affairs was shared alike by all of the girls, who took great pleasure in exhibiting the results of their work, and the skill and technique which they had acquired in cookery. Their ability to bring out the possibilities of the Normal School dining room and to transform the kinder- garten theory room into a charming and hospitable reception hall was surely a great accomplishment. Their ingenuity in making attractive centerpieces, place-cards, and favorsfor the occasions was also shown. The initial luncheon was given on January the fourteenth by the students of the Household Arts Department. Miss Barton fulfilled the duties of hostess delight- fully. The guests entertained were Mr. Murdock, Mr. Smith, and Miss Braden. The next one, on January the thirty-first, was in charge of the second division of girls. Miss Schroder made a charming hostess and succeeded in making the guests, Mr. Murdock, Mrs. Van Etten, and Miss Donaldson, thoroughly enjoy themselves. This was followed by another luncheon, equally praiseworthy, on February the seventh, in charge of the first division, at which time Miss Cushman demonstrated her ability to entertain. The guests were Mr. Murdock, Miss Searle and Miss Baright. The concluding affair, arranged by the students taking the special course, was given on the fourteenth of February, and took the form of a Valentine dinner. The interior decorations and all arrangements of both rooms were carefully chosen to ex- tend and harmonize with the decorations of the table, which was very beautiful with great numbers of hearts, large and small, scattered over its white expanse. Red carna- tions, gay in silver bud vases, added greatly to the attractiveness of the table. Miss Shannon acted as hostess to the nine guests, Mr. and Mrs. Murdock, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Eldridge, Mrs. Couch, Mrs. Graves, and Miss Lamphier, and a delight- ful time was enjoyed. This event came as a climax to our efforts along this line, and we are not a little proud of our successes, for we accomplished more and acquitted ourselves better than we had dared to hope.

For two years we have looked forward with great pleasure to this hour, when we might stand before you, ready to do our part in life's great struggle. During the time we have spent here, ever foremost in our minds has loomed the many prospects of the future. It is with varied emotions that we ponder upon this new life opening before us. There is perhaps a feeling of trepidation, but this is' overpowered by an unwaver- ing faith and a firm desire to win. 1 On this occasion so momentous to us, it is our privilege to relate to you in- cidents which we hold dear. Some, perhaps, you have heard already. Indeed, that would not be sur- prising, for the fame of 19 has travelled far, though her spirit will always linger in these halls. Memories - IFRIENDS: ' What softened views thy magic glass reveals, When o'er the landscape Time's meek twilight steals! As when in ocean sinks the orb of day, Long on the wave refiected lustres play, Thy tempered gleams of happiness resigned, Glance on the darkened mirror of the mind. Helena Virginia Armstrong. Ahhmm in the Juniata JHACULTY, Friends, and Members of the Junior Class,- Dear Associates: We, the class of 1919 in these last few hours of our happy and event- ful stay here with you, deem it best to pause a moment and briefly admonish you from the fruits of our experiences and our troubles. Not only do we feel it to be our privilege to warn you against any short- comings that you might have, but also to lay upon your worthy shoulders the burdens, duties, and privileges of Seniors which tomorrow you will assume. Our message to the whole class is, be conscientious. However, do not let your attention to studies entirely crowd out your other interests, but proportion your time so that, if possible, nothing is slighted. Work while you work, Play while you play. To the Dormitory girls: Whenever it is your turn to monitor, do it with good will and promptness, always knocking loudly enough so that the occupants of the rooms will know that it is really time to cease their mental and physical activites and retire,-and keep the lights out for the rest of the night. Of course, you couldn't forget the rules concerning the other sex. But am- bitious students like the Seniors of 1920 surely will not have time for more than monthly permission trips , and then only to discuss weighty subjects where masculine ideas have value. But girls, do keep up your fine work socially. You have made a fine begin- ning with your class parties in Taconic Hall. Remember that next year it will be up to you to keep up this record. To the girls not in the Dormitory: ' Remember the straight path to the Natural Bridge or to Kemp Park is not by Way of the Richmond and Empire or on the trolley to Adams. Give your mothers a good rest this summer, girls, so that frequent illnesses Will not keep you from coming to school on any afternoon when the show is good. Be ware of absences,-they count against you! Dear Juniors, whatever happens confide in your faculty, for believe us, they are as good and loyal friends as you will ever find, and as long as you do the right thing by them they will stand back of you to the limit. And remember, that your honest effort and care will not only be beneficial to you, but will also give them well-earned pleasure from their efforts. Thus, Faculty, Friends, and Juniors in this insuflicient manner we attempt to counsel our associates seriously and in jest, and thus we hand down those customs and ideals of our school which soon will be cherished memories to us. Mildred R. Barton Chorus Gllaum 09212 In gladness of June time, 'mid blossoms so fair, Now the heart with youth's gladness soon fills, As the perfume of roses floats through the soft air, And over our dear Berkshire Hills, We stand at the entrance of life's busy strife With our thoughts on this dear Normal School, Where we've made many friendstwhom we'll cherish for life, Although we now bid them adieu. So now, dear Normal, with classmates so dear, We sigh while we bid you farewell, As onward we go with our hearts free from fear, And believing that all will be well. As our thoughts are turned back o'er the two years just passed, Filled with labor well lightened with play, Our hearts are bound close in a tie, firm and fast Of love that shall bind us for aye. As our thoughts are turned on to years lying before, While forward we eagerly press, Our courage, our hopes, and our interest galore Are fixed on the goal of success. -Chorus- Grace A. Goodell livnpnnrw nf Iduninrn Friends, Members of the Faculty, and Seniors: In behalf of the Juniors, I am going to try t0 express some of our sentiments- shall I say?-toward these dear Seniors from whom we are so soon to part. Their going forth from this school at this time, when all the world is turning its eyes toward the school teacher, is nothing short of portentous. For we are living at a time when more history has been made and re-made in a few months or at least years than has been for centuries before. It is needless for me to go into any details of the past four years for there is no one here who has notin some way been affected by them. The foundations of science, religion -everything, have been shaken. Changes too vast for estimation are following and will follow. The teacher's part in this is of the greatest importance- as exemplified by the wonderful insight and information shown by President Wilson during this present world crisis. Perhaps that is what influenced us to enter this profession. Upon coming into this, our training camp, as volunteers in the great Ameri- can Expeditionary Forces of Teachers, we were deeply impressed by everything we saw- the building stately, the commanding of'Iicers-or the teachers-and last, but by no means least, the non-com Seniors, of whom we were greatly in awe. No rookies were ever more bewildered than we were those first few weeks. It has been said that during any great revolution of the mind, everything afterward seems hazy and indistinct. That is the way it is with us for no revolution of the mind was ever more complete than was ours. Some things I remember are the sharp commands and orders snapped out by our superior officers, often with a cheerful grin and wink from the non-com's , who seemed to realize what we were going through and pitied C?J us. After this, although they made us feel that they would do anything in their power to help us if we needed it, yet, more and more, they began to show us that We had much to learn, and we did learn tif I may be permitted to copy the ideas of one so great as Theodore Rooseveltj that there must be no sagging back in the fight for school teacher- ization. We have room for the ideals of but one school flag, and that is the yellow and white of N. A. N. S. We have room for but one language class-and that, Miss Baright's. We have room for but one ideal-lesson plan-and that, Miss Searle's. Then, too, it was that We were initiated into the sacred rites of the K. P. CKitchen Policeb at the Mark Hopkins Training School. No work was ever more loathed! Oh, K-K-K-K-P.! Wonderful K. P.! You're the only w-w-w-work that I adore. When the b-b-b-bell rings at 4:15, We'll be d-d-d-dusting behind the training school door. On the other hand, in the Glee Club, at parties and dances, in gymnasium especially, it seems as if each and every non-com had taken it upon herself to give 70 T NORMALOGUE g each and every Junior the best possible time. This, of course, we realize, furnished them excellent material for meeting social welfare and social betterment problems. And now, dear Seniors, as we are about to inherit your duties and honors, such as sitting in the back seats in Assembly Hall-there is an unmistakable sadness in the air which makes the parting hard. Your trials and tribulations are over here, but many will be the times when you will look back to them with longing hearts. We all know you're going over the top with colors held high, and the honor of dear old N. A. N. S. untarnished. You are sure to win Victory CVictory witha capital V J, for are not the American Expeditionary Forces of Teachers fighting to make the world safe for democracy as well as did the American Expeditionary Forces of soldiers who went to France to fight for the freedom of the world-and won? In behalf of the Juniors, individually and collectively, I wish you, dear Seniors, each and everyone, farewell and Godspeed. . Winifred B. Wood. Eluninr Qlnntrihntinnn We've got a Senior class that's full of pep 'n'everything, They show the Juniors how to lead the life 'n'everything. From midnight spreads and gay society To church on Sunday, clothed in piety They're good examples, Each one a sample, Of what a Junior ought to be. Now as to any Sunday studying or anything, One of the Seniors has the right idea 'bout everything. Just step to number twenty-one- She'll show you how to have some fun. Juniors, if you ever have a man, she'd make a real good chaperon. There are Seniors who put on airs, There are Seniors that are too tame, There are Seniors with spunky dispositions, Whom I do not have to name. There are Seniors who always look for trouble, And plenty of it they'll see, But the Seniors in room Chumj, girls, Are the ones that appeal to me. , Qllafm Eiatnrg OT all of us are born to minister doses of soothing syrup and healing balm to wounded and sick men, even in times of war. Nor are we all born to translate shorthand, and talk to the tune of a typewriter, even when our services might be of great use to our nation. But some are born to do those things, and some are born to help our nation in other ways. One of the most important of these other ways, is to instruct the rising generation. This latter seems to be the particular duty of the members of the class of 1919 at North Adams Normal. With this goal in view, a brave little band of gay, thoughtless, irresponsible high school girls flocked to North Adams Normal, where they might learn the best methods of imparting knowledge, and of making straightforward, honest, and ambitious future citizens out of Young America. Now this was a far more difficult task than many of you would believe. But zealously they undertook the tasks assigned to them, silent victims of their martyrdom. Entrance exams held no terrors for them, for were they not a well-chosen few? But to their surprise they found that in order to become full-fledged Normalites they must chase their shadows along the corridor, down the stairs, and back again to the rest room, to be perfectly sure that their hearts beat the correct number of times. Of course this test was easily passed with flying colors by every member. Thus encouraged, that little flock of tall girls, short girls, and middle-sized girls, blondes, brunettes, and half-tones, appeared at chapel one bright sunny morning, early in the fall of 1917, to be recorded as the class of '19, Then began their trouble. Much to their surprise, they soon learned that they knew much less than they thought they did, and the sooner they forgot that bit, the better they would succeed in their chosen vocation. The truth of this was frankly proved in Miss Searle's geometry class. Imagine a group of young ladies entering a classroom and being handed a box of building blocks, and told to build a house similar to anyone they could see from the window. Of course they went to work with a will, though greatly humbled, and succeeded in winning a word of praise from the instructor for their good work. In drawing class they proved that it was useless to try to make them into artists. However, Miss Pearson guided what art ability they possessed in another direc- tion. She proceeded to teach them the arts of orderly arrangement , onward, con- sistent movement and harmony, rhythm and balance , in which they proved very successful. Next, they learned in music class to sing the scale backward, forward or up- side down. Also, they learned to distinguish the Rigoletti from the Bohemian Girl , when played on the victrola. Under Mr. Smith's careful tutelage, those fair maidens developed into first class farmerettes. They also learned the correct angle at which to hold a rake or a hoe, 72 M W NORMALOGUE that radishes will not grow from aster seeds, and that the scientific method of watering a garden is not with a sprinkler, as one would suppose. Many other bits of knowledge were gleaned from this course, and were quickly stored away for use in-future need. Thus, excepting for hard work, their Junior year quietly slipped by, and vacation arrived. After a most enjoyable summer, they returned as dignified Seniors, determined to test their abilities on the poor unfortunates of the training school, as aides CID to the teachers there. Lesson plans held no terror for them, for had they not learned the gentle art of writing lesson plans during their Junior year? Many were the trials of teaching, but they easily conquered them all. In Zoology, they learned, much to the amazement of one of their members, that the elephant's trunk is not his antennae. They also learned that Mr. Smith was expecting to sprout wings, similar to those of the bee, by means of which he would visit their schools, thus saving travelling expenses. In history class they found out who the republican and democratic members of the class were, by means of the many spirited discussions on political questions. In this class, Mr. Smith also taught them the art- of fancying , which is really quite diffi- cult when done correctly. Mr. Eldridge took them on several trips to local factories, among which was one to a shoe factory, where they learned why they should be careful not to wear out so many shoes. Many steps were taken in travelling from the first floor to the cooking room, where they learned how to Can all you can , and the best way of raising yeast gardens using the least amount of wheat flour. They were given many opportunities to try their concoctions on the Faculty at the numerous afternoon luncheons which they served in the dining-room. Be it sufficient to say that their victims survived. Miss Varrell also taught them the best way to hold a stocking when darn- ing it, the correct way to make a bound buttonhole, and last, but not least, the most efficient method of inserting a gusset Alas! The expected happened! One day, just before one of their numerous short vacations, one of their preciously small number slipped on the treacherous stairs, and was picked up at the bottom by a very frightened member of the Faculty. Such was the effect upon everyone, that rumors of an elevator being installed in the building were heard. This plan never developed, because it was decided that all could not be accommodated on one trip. But, behold! When they returned from the vacation the stairs greeted them with a new coat of non-skid paint, guaranteed to make travelling very safe. During the psychology course the girls learned that they were descended from apes, and that many of the qualities and traits of man were due to his brute in- heritance from his ape ancestors . Early in May, they gave one of the most successful Glee Club Concerts ever held. The receipts from it netted a goodly sum for the class gold mine. Later in May, they revived an ancient custom of the school, and held a very successful and most enjoyable banquet at the Richmond Hotel. Last, but not least, came the crowning success of the year, the Senior Drama- tics, when, under Miss Baright's direction, they presented The Elopement of Ellen , NORMALOGUE K 73 a. farce-comedy in three acts. In connection with this, they developed some very talented actors and actresses, who were close rivals of some of the leading professionals of the time. The production was a brilliant success. In fact, everything that the class of '19 undertook was a success. Every girl had a true school spirit as well as a true class spirit. It was that spirit that aided them in winning out. Soon they are to leave dear Normal forever, but the memories of their hard earned victories and the good times which they have had together will always remain with them, to aid them in their future conquests.

That is just the position I found myself in, but at that moment I happened to remember that somewhere up in the attic were some old magazines and papers that might help to interest an idler for an hour or more. Upon reaching the attic, I found in a corner an old trunk in which they were stored. I opened it and discovered, quite near the top, a scrap-book, five years old, in which I had pasted newspaper clippings concerning my classmates. Sitting on an ancient chair near a tiny window, I read as follows: Tonight, in the Drury Auditorium, a capacity audience will greet Miss Louise Cummings, 'Our American Boy,' the only successful rival of Florence Tempest.

Pk :lf Ik I closed the book and sat a moment looking out at the never ceasing rain, and then I thought of the fun we all had together in the good old days at N. A. N. S., and I wondered if, by chance, any of my classmates were thinking of me, and if they knew what time and fate had had in store for me. -Lillian R. Schroder. f GLC. lgrnphvrg un the lgrnphvt ' AD I ever in all of my life heard such a noise before? Where did it all come from? Everything was confusion. Car bells clanged. Small carts drawn by horses rumbled over the somewhat rough pavements. Salesmen, anxious to sell their wares, called loudly to attract attention. Whistles of trains blew long and loudly. A This was my experience as I drove slowly down a street of Petrograd, Russia, in a Ford . The main square of the city was but a short distance away, and, as I looked, I saw a crowd standing near a raised platform right in the midst of it. Of course, I was curious, and bent on seeing all I could, I got out of the machine and pushed myself in among the mass of people. I listened. A woman was talking in Russian. Fortunately for me, I had a few Russian words in my vocabulary, else all of this would have meant nothing to me. But the tone of voice of the woman caught my ear. It sounded strangely familiar. Now I was all excitement. Could it be someone I knew? I made one supreme effort to see the speaker and by using the position toe stand, Cone of Miss Skeele's exercisesj, I succeeded in getting a partial view of her,- and whom do you think I saw? There stood Lillian Schroder, talking against Bolshevism! Luckily for me, my training in gym classes at N. A. N. S. had taught me to keep my balance, else I should have surely collapsed. You should have seen her in such a mood. Her hat was set at rather an acute angle, and the plume which bedecked it, bowed and waved to the audience. Occasion- ally, she would look over her glasses at the people, or, to make some point especially emphatic, she would shake her hand vigorously in the air. Her Russian was excellent, and, although I could not understand or follow her in all she said, I felt sure she was convincing the crowd that Bolshevism was not right. I, myself, felt like speaking then, to tell the people that they really could not help being convinced, for well did I remember Lill's ability in oral composition class at N. A. N. S. However, she soon stopped talking, and I saw her descend from the plat- form amid the hurrahs of the crowd. In a moment, my classmate entered an auto- mobile, and was driven quickly away to speak further upon the same subject. -J essie C. Barber. Gilman will ' N the name of the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Nineteen of the North Adams 'J Normal School, located in this, the city of North Adams, the county of Berkshire and the state of Massachusetts, I, Anna Handly Shannon, being in good health, in possession of all my faculties, but calling to mind the uncertainty of this life and the surety of death, and, willing to dispose of our entire worldly estate, do make and pub- lish this our last will and testament. Recommending our gifts for your approval, and hoping for remission of all our sins through your gracious kindness and mercy, We do bequeath as follows: To Mr. Murdock we leave our sincere thanks for his unfailing kindness, and the knowledge that 1919 owes every high ideal and noble aspiration to his precept and ex- ample, and that we will try to measure up . To Mrs. Couch we leave our love and affection, greatly increased by our last year at Normal. Also an appreciation for the many kindnesses she has lavished upon us, and our promise to organize and manage our schools in accordance with her teachings. To Miss Baright our thanks for 1919's great ease, fluency, and readiness of speech, ability to give on the instant the exact and correct position of all the organs of articulation when sounding any letter of the alphabet g ability to preside at all sorts of literary clubs, sewing circles and mothers' meetings, and our willingness to entertain at the rural schools and at Assembly. To Miss Lamphier we leave the 1919's chair seats, memorandum pads, and scrap books to use as samples and models of neatness and expert handwork with the incoming Juniors. For her personal use we are leaving an escalator, guar- anteed to make a non-stop, half-minute trip to the second floor when it is one minute of nine. To Miss Pearson we leave our utmost appreciation for opening our eyes to the aesthetic, giving us valuable and not-to-be-forgotten ideas of balance, rhythm, har- mony, and onward consistent movement. Thanks are also given for her progressive and thoughtful views of the Woman Movement which have been an inspiration to the class. To Miss Skeele we leave opportunity and absolute freedom to work out an ideal gym- nastic lesson plan with the Seniors. This first plan is to be followed of course by a review plan C We teach altogether too much, girls j. Also, We leave to her, the hope that the next Senior class will be as enthusiastic over Gym as we have been. To Miss Varrell we leave the technique in cooking which we acquired by bitter exper- ience, our skill in sewing buttonholes, patches, and samples in particular, to be held in trust for the class of 1920 and presented to them with our good NORMALOGUE 79 wishes at the time when they need them most. Besides this,we leave her all good wishes, for did she not point the way to a man's heart? To Miss Searle we leave the good wishes and esteem of every member of our class, and the knowledge that she, more than any other member of the faculty succeeded in impressing upon us last year how little we really knew. To Miss Waterman, arrangements for special classes in psychology, to be illustrated by her inimitable stories, our gratitude for her helpfulness and charming manner, and our regrets at not being able to show our appreciation in a material form. To Mr. Smith we leave the patent of 1919's Human Aero Wings, guaranteed to make one trip daily to Taconic Hall for the mail. For N ormalites only. All rights reserved. Address Royal Leon di Smythe.

To Mr. Eldridge we leave his traditional privilege of conducting the girls of N. A. N S. up Greylock. There are no restrictions on this bequest, except that he is required to demonstrate the primitive way of drinking water, and that he is to brew his super-excellent coffee, for we know from two happy experiences that he is an expert. To Mr. Cummings we leave permission to conduct special classes of Seniors in advance post-graduate work in handicraft, and trust that they will appreciate and repay his efforts as well as previous pupils. To the Training School Teachers, the class of 1920, to love, cherish, and develop until graduation doth come. Our hope of forgiveness for our many mistakes and failures, and our wishes for their continued success. To Mrs. Van Etten, another class like the Seniors of 1919 to mother as she did us, a few free moments during the day, and a few quiet ones at night 5 and all our love and devotion in part payment for counsel and advice given to us on in- numerable occasions. To Marcella Barrett, Lillian Schroder's seat and two years' acquaintances on the Adams car. To Elizabeth Boyle, a gentleman who for the past year has been residing in Room 21 at Taconic Hall-said gentleman's name being Charles Chaplin. This bequest has been made after much thoughtful consideration on the part of the present guardians, and is willed according to tradition, to a good sport.

NORMALOGUE Grace Creelan, all the milk she is able to drink g also the memory of her roommate's helpful advice.

Evelina DeMarco, Anna Noyes' unused gym excuses. Frances Dooley, Vera Andrews' surplus ambition. This is guaranteed to be of great assistance in finishing her course at Normal.

Dorothy Gray, the task of restraining her more frivolous minded companions and neighbors on the third floor. ' Elizabeth Hammond, Mary Nagle's good looks, winning manner, and popularity.

Rachel Sisson, permission to make a slight noise without fear of Annie Wood's calling to complain of the racket. Laura Smith, a Big Ben alarm clock, and an every morning desire for breakfast. The combination ought to result in Laura's appearance at the breakfast table. NORMALOGUE 81 To Josephine Tallarico, Helen Brown's persistence and faithfulness to study. To Katherine Tracy, Ann Shannon's book entitled Table Topics , unabridged, and unpublished. After reading this, one knows when to ask questions, when to look intelligent, when to remain silent.

To Dawn Williams, a chance to put basketball on a strong footing at Normal, and the hope that she will do it as surely as she can put the ball in. To Winifred Wood, Helena Armstrong's example as a Senior Class President, and her gift for making her classmates love her. To the class of 1920 we leave our utmost confidence.

To the class of 1921, an earnest hope that you will pattern your conduct after your sister class. By so doing you will live up to Normal ideals.

We desire the above bequests to be allotted to our devisees, with as little trouble and delay as may be, desiring their accept- ance thereof as all the tokens we now give them of our love. In Witness thereof, I have hereunto set my hand and the class seal, the twenty-third day of June, nineteen hundred and nineteen. Anna Handly Shannon Signed, sealed, and published in the presence of the said Mildred R. Barton Anna Shannon and at her desire. Martha D Carver mi E ,Z ilug Gbratinn , A DAINTY plant is our ivy green, a tiny thing, waiting to be laid in the lap of mother earth and covered with a soft fold of her vernal dress. There in the cool and dark, nourished by warm rains and summer unh ne, it will sleep awhile, but soon, inspired with a new thrill of life, it will begin ts upward climb, sending out tiny tendrils which will cling firmly and tenderly to these white and yellow walls, covering them with waxen leaves and sheltering them from the elements. Shooting upward, ever upward, it will rise in years hence to look out over our green valley and to the purple hills which edge it 'round, things which are now unknown as it just peeps above the slender spears of grass. So we, the Class of 1919, having learned the lessons so carefully and patiently taught, go forth today to begin a new life. We have received the inspiration to climb higher. Our aim is upward, ever upward, until from a loftier standpoint we see the world as a place filled with humanity, worthy of our greatest efforts. Fair Alma Mater, we leave as a promise of our future perseverance and faith- fulness to thee, this ivy with its five-pointed, white-veined leaves. Though we be scattered near and far, our thoughts will travel back and cluster 'round thee as will the foliage of this green vine. Little plant, grow as no other has grown, for- Close as the deep, dark mould of the earth Each heartstring 'round thee clings, And may thy life ever spur us on To better, higher things. We leave thee to guard our hall, A staunch sentinel, undismayedg Shelter it well, O ivy green, We leave thee unafraid! -Lucy B. Sears ling Idnrm What do We plant when We plant the ivy? We plant the vine which will ever cling And memories of the loyalty of nineteen bring. We plant a love that is steadfast and pure, We plant firm friendship which shall ever endure. We plant union and trust when we plant the ivy. What do we plant when we plant the ivy? We plant the vine which through change and time Shall ever upward and outward climb. So shall We, through hardship and strife, Soon see the dawn of a higher life. Thus We plant success when We plant the ivy. What do We plant when we plant the ivy? We plant fond hopes and ambitions dear, We plant bright faith and a wealth of good cheer, We plant dauntless courage Whate'er may befall, We plant ready response when duty doth call. We plant all these when we plant the ivy. -Elizabeth A Harrmgton V: EXIT - 1' ,ZW X , 1 4 A5 1 ?!5'E:S 1lll'll5 tgjlllf , YW mf' N H 1 . s 1- X X 4f --1 'xx ' ll , 5, I Iii-T-'niiili n .,,g A Y n-.lv 1 VU!!
