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.

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.

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.
