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. --

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.

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.
