-Ava- W -mst ILO R M ALQQ UE. MARION H. BLAIR, Williamstown, Mass. True worth is in being, not seeming. ARION came to us from that picturesque college town known to us all as Billtown. 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. BROWN North Adams Mass 'I am constant as the northern star Of whose true fix d and resting quality There is no fellow in the firmament ' ELEN, who has ever been true to her classmates and 15 many friends, has won the love and esteem of all of them. Atlhough no one has been more Interested ln her lessons, she has never forgotten to inquire about the foreign mail. Whenever We have been puzzled about the work, our difficulties have been in the way of being solved when we said, Let's a k Helen She will surely have her

24 A kg g NORMALOGUE ' 1 B i Y I .Q J ESSIE C. BARBER, Williamstown, Mass. Quips and cranks and wanton wiles, Nods and becks and wreathed smiles. I HIS quotation seems to fit Jess very well, for she is an extremely cheerful and fun-loving person. 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! Your heart can ne'er be wanting! May prudence, fortitude, and truth, Erect your brow undaunting! In ploughman phrase, God send you speed, Still daily to grow wiser, And maybe better reck the rede, Than ever did th' adviser!'! say the unusual thing

NORMALOGUE gg MARTHA D. CARVER, Bennington, Vermont For if she will, she will, You may depend on't, And if she won't, she won't, So there's an end on't. 'ZIUNE Dusenbury hails from the Green Mountains. While a Junior, June won fame as a member o The Owls' Club , noted for midnight spreads. After having served as a faithful member of the Stu- dent Council during her Junior year, this fair damsel was elected its Vice-President in her Senior year. O memories that bless and burn. ' 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. But this is not all, for outside of school, Anna is a fine sport and is always willing to take part in our pranks.
