To him we feel much indebted L Evgywag for our financial prosperity as well as a great deal of the ew-we success we hope to win in our chosen profession. During our two years under his instruction, he has given us many practical ideas, inspired us with noble thoughts and set before us ideals of infinite value, and ww--ff-af-5 we can never forget his words of encouragement, his advice and his helpful suggestions. The hours spent in his classes have always been ones of utmost enjoyment and interest, and we leave, hoping that we may imitate his splendid ability as a teacher. Indeed, it is with great regret that we bid farewell to this kind, helpful, impartial man, but we shall always cherish the memory of the many hours spent in his presence.

Indeed these two years of our lives have been the most pleasant and most significant. In the midst of the rush and bustle of these last days, let us pause a moment to pay tribute to our school. It is beyond the power of words to express our great love and admiration for this guiding hand. Therefore we offer the success, which we hope will come to us in future years, as our real tribute to old Normal. So attached have we become to our school and its most efficient and kind faculty that it is with a feeling of deep regret that we bid it farewell, and our parting wish is,- Long may she glorious, triumphant be, Bright through the future years, Our Alma Mater, here's to thee! 7 SCHOOL AL NORM S ADAM TH NOR RESIDENCE URDOCK R.

Such was our principal! We owe him much, for to him, we are indebted for those high ideals which he has set before us: to him we are indebted for that inspiration to use for others whatever talents we possess-to do our best for mankind. Could any principal have shown a greater interest in our welfare both in work and in play? Mr. Murdock was one who was always ready with a bit of advice or a smile of encouragement, at the same time endeavoring to show us the best path to follow in order to get the most out of the profession which we have chosen. Even though we did not have Mr. Murdock in a complete psychology course, the class of 1920 feels as much acquainted with him as have other classes. In every sense he was our friend and adviser. These words, however, avail little in expressing our appreciation of Mr. Murdock's eiiorts. Our principal will discover our real appreciation when he hears that each one of us is working according to those Christian principles which he set up as a standard. N ORMALOGUE 11 flllr. ling Ei. Smith R. Smith is a native of Norwich, New York, where he received his early education. In 1904, he was graduated from Syracuse University, after which he taught, first as vice-principal, and later as principal, at Freeport, N. Y. He has also done graduate work in Teachers College, Columbia University, specializing in Philosophy, History and Education. At N. A. N. S. we have had the good fortune to be under his instruction in History, Economics, Zoology, Botany and Psychology. It is not necessary that we mention how interesting and how enjoyable were his classes. Among other characteristics, Mr. Smith possesses the power of a prophet, and he prophesies that we will, within a few years, be taking trips to Mars in our in- dividual flying machines. There will always be a warm spot in our hearts for Mr. Smith, for we shall always think of him as one of the best helpers and truest friends we had at Normal. Eg ?E'?EZfyZCgJa Jillian Marg E. Enright She dwells by hoary Greylock's side In a valley green and cool, And all her hope and all her pride Are in the Normal School. ECW appropriate these lines are for Miss Baright! For truly her hope and her pride are in the Normal School. Many are the hours of willing labor which she has put on our class play, many are the periods that she has devoted to us in the effort to teach us how to stand up in public and speak without showing the outward signs of an inward quaking. Whenever she has read to us, we have been thrilled to the very finger-tips, and we have sat open-eyed and reverent until the last word died away. The words and phrases over which we struggled seemed to take on new meaning as they flowed easily from her tongue. Whenever we hear her, we realize more and more that- True expression, like the unchanging sun, Clears and improves all that it shines upon. She was unanimously elected as our class adviser, and has ever been helpful in her little talks with us, telling us how to do the right thing at the right time. We girls of 1920 owe a great deal to Miss Baright, and we extend to her our appreciation and gratitude for all that she has done in our behalf. ORMALOGUE Minn illnau E. Searle ISS Rosa E. Searle, our teacher of mathematics and music, is a graduate from the Westfield Normal School. She also took summer courses in music in Boston and Evanston, Illinois. To this dear teacher we owe our ability to master any example in arithmetic or geometry. Was she not always ready to spend endless hours of valuable time, help- ing us see our mistakes? Always she met us with a cheery smile and a word of encouragement which helped us along our rocky path, feeling happy and reassured. Not only has she helped us in mathematics but she has worked with untiring energy to make us good singers and to make our Glee Club concert a great success. Whenever we look back upon our school life at Normal, we shall all realize what it meant to have such a friend and teacher. EEQZZWIQE. illlizaz Ehnu TE. Harrrll ISS VARRELL for the past few years has been our instructor in the branches of sewing, cooking, and sanitation, the results of which the girls will realize more in the future. We have all been very fortunate to have had a teacher possessed of such a great amount of patience, enthus- iasm, and helpful school spirit and her unusual popularity proves how much we appreciate and love her. We shall miss her when we leave the North Adams Normal School, but we shall often think of her in after life as a capable teacher and true friend. N HENEVER in the future We shall lookin this book and see the name Mary Angelina Pearson, just what memories will come to us? Shall we not see Miss Pearson before her class trying to teach its members the value of onward consi tent movement, harmony, rhythm and balance? Will the dormitory girls, in par- ticular fail to remember the many times her habit of thinking and her ready wit have made us laugh until we wondered why We were crying? Shall we not remem- ber also the many many times when her willing heart and ready hands have been exercised for the benefit of the class of 19207 We the members of that class, sin- cerely hope that Miss Pearson s memory of us may be as Miss Pearson is a graduate of the Boston School ofArt and has studied both in this country and abroad for many ORMALOGUE 18 illlliua Aunir 01. Skrrlr ISS Skeele has proven herself to be a true friend of the girls of N. A. N. S. Kind, thoughtful and in- spiring, she has helped them with many difficult problems. Miss Skeele was a graduate of the State Normal School, Bridgewater, Mass., and of the Posse Gym- nasium, Boston. From 1893 to 1895 she taught in aprivate gymnasium: from 1895-1897 at the State Normal School, Mansfield, Penn.g and since 1896 has been instructor in hygiene and physical training at the State Normal School, North Adams, Mass. -FED QE? 23. 'BHIKB Marg A lgvarsnn N1 fx 14 NORMALOGUE Mr. Zilhnmem EIT. Glumminga NE of the first questions that is asked of anyone attending N. A. N. S. by someone who knows is, Have you had Mr. Cummings yet? How do you like him? and the answer given by the former is in- variably, Oh, yes! Isn't he wonderfull Th at is everyone's opinion. He possesses those funda- mental qualities which we learn make a successful teacher, humor and patience. The room over which he has sole dominion does not hold as important and conspicuous a place in the build- ing as some of the others do, but it will always be one long remembered by us mortals here below as a haven of sunshine and good cheer where we girls laboriously attempted works of art with various tools, the parts, uses and names of which we learned from Essentials of Wood Working by Griffith. There is no doubting his ability as a teacher-the results gained here are quite convincing. The class of 1920 wish him the good fortune to Live as long as he wishes, And have all he wishes as long as he lives.

In the class of handicraft, All must form with greatest care, Each minute and unseen part, For Miss Lamphier sees everywhere. -Apologies to Henry W. Longfellow. :JIT was in our Junior year that Miss Lamphier intro- duced us to the mysteries of caning, knitting, book- binding and basketry. Some of us were apt pupils, others were not so proficient, but the class of 1920 fully appreciates all the kind and helpful suggestions she offered. We all wish We had the knowledge of handi- craft, which she has acquired. Miss Lamphier is a graduate of Salem Normal School, and also studied at Lloyd Normal. She taught in the primary grades in Lynn, Newton and at Mark Hopkins in North Adams, before coming to our Normal. May she have a long and prosperous future! NORMALOGUE 15 film. Eliza 05. Graurs ' ILL you tell us a southern story? How often we hear that question asked of Mrs. Graves and how willingly she always does it. The girls who have been fortunate enough to take the Kindergarten Course or sit at her table surely know how true this is. She is always cheeiful, and greets you with a smile whenever she meets you. Surely we owe a great deal to Mrs. Graves for her many valuable suggestions concerning our teaching of little children. Mrs. Graves is a graduate of the Free Kindergarten Association of Louisville, Kentucky, and also held the office of Principal in that same city. She was also training teacher and supervisor of two kindergartens in the State Normal School at Willimantic, Connecticut. Since 1904 she has been principal of the Kindergarten in our training school and training teacher in the Kinder- garten-Prirnary at Normal. The class of 1920 extend to her their best wishes. 552352925323 illlrn. Ennna B. Glnurh Qi' VERYONE connected, however remotely, with N. A. N. S. loves Mrs. Couch, Our Lady of the Train- ing School. Through sunshine and shadow, Mrs. Couch has always been the dearest friend in the world to the Normal girls. Her gracious manner, kindly assistance, and unbounded patience have been and ever must be, an inspiration for us in the years to come. That she may long continue in her present position, a friend, helper, and gracious instructor, is the wish of the class of 1920. 16 NORMALOGUE illllra.

For this work she has had excellent preparation, having been graduated from the Oneonta High and Nor- mal Schools, Oneonta Business School and Boston School of Domestic Science. Never too busy to help her girls in anything they undertake, Mother is universally loved by them. With wise and generous counsel for the erring ones, with tender and watchful care for the sick, she 'admin- isters to our every want. When We leave N. A. N. S. and recall our life there, our association with Mother will be one of our hap- piest memories. The Class of 1920 wishes to express its appreciation for all she has done and to wish for her every good thing in life. ES 2,LEzJ illlliaa Eluira BH.

Miss Braden graduated from the Lowell High School and Lowell Commerical College, besides doing graduate work at Simmons and with Chicago University. Com- ing to our school three years ago, she has been Assistant in the Extension Department. How could we have gotten along without her cheerfulness and help these two years?

S., we became acquainted with Miss Ferguson, who is a graduate of Adams High School and Berkshire Bus- iness College. To us it seems a good fortune to have her present in our school life here. Even if we go running into the ofiice a few moments before nine, she will cheer- fully and willingly leave her work of what-seems-to-be an endless pile of books and papers, to sign the blue and green slips for us. As we leave our Alma Mater, we shall take with us happy memories, of her and know that future classes will find just such a good friend in her as we have found. fF'?fKZ??Zg ,ef 'Lowell wx , , .

BARRETT, Adams, Mass. The thing that goes the farthest That makes living worth while, That costs the least, and does the most Is just a pleasant smile. UCH is the motto of Marcella, our member from the Mother Town. We have never seen her really angry, although we know there were times when the fur of life seemed to have been rubbed the wrong way. ' She is fond of Geography trips, especially when they are in the vicinity of Adams. She enjoys humming catchy tunes, and she initiated us into the wonders of such songs as I'l1 Do The Same Thing Over . Her favorite amusements are card parties and the movies. At the former she usually insists that Jack is a trump. We wonder why. We also wonder why she is so familiar with the time schedule of the trains from North Adams to Troy, N. Y. No matter what you undertake, we wish you luck, classmate ! M. ELIZABETH BOYLE, Hatfield, Mass. This is the happy maiden, this is she That every girl her friend delights to be. I WO years ago Elizabeth entered Taconic Hall and took possession of our hearts. From that very day she became a solace to the oppressed and unhappy victims of lesson plans, who, attracted by the home- like atmosphere of her room and Charlie's presence, came to her for advice and comfort. Elizabeth is also a true hostess and always has on hand some treat which she brings out from the dark interior of her clothes press for her visitors. A great deal of her spare time has been devoted to midnight spreads, movies, dances, skating and visiting. As an orator she can not be surpassed, and when- ever she speaks every member of the class bends for- ward and lends her her ears. During opening exercises in chapel, Elizabeth's play- ing on her violin has caused many to be of light heart and to send up a prayer of thanksgiving that they were allowed to listen to such rare music. Like the freshness of Springtime, When summer is nigh, A friend of our school time We'll miss with a sigh. NORMALOGUE 23 l LAURA P. BREWER, Sheffield, Mass. L Altho' not heard much, 'tis true, She's staunch and loyal thru and thru. I HE baby of our class is liked by all. One can not talk long with Laura before learning that danc- ing is her favorite pastime. She seldom lets an oppor- tunity to dance go by, whether it's after dinner, in the gym, or even way down in Sheffield. Laura can gen- erally recite when called upon. Some think her a quiet little girl -but they don't know her. She is always on the job for both work and play, and is a good sport at all times. HARRIET J. CHACE, Beverly, Mass. Listen, my dorm mates, and soon you shall hear Musical strains that will always cheer. In room twenty-five, just away down the hall, Is Harriet playing, to the great joy of all. Her lessons are always superbly prepared, So from getting low marks, she's been wonderfully spared. But this I can tell you, tho to her we all bow, There's one thing she must learn, and that's drive a cow. They say that she picked up a near-by rock, To throw at a farmer's unoffending livestock. But she's one grand, good girl, this Harriet Chace. gf: 22 , 5 Long live her powers! Long live her race! ez fi 24 NORMALOGUE LAURA F. CHARON, Adams, Mass.

Every day she makes the journey from the Mother Town to join us seekers after knowledge. To know Laura is to like her. - Among her good qualities are her friendly nature, al- ways willing to help her classmates, her pleasing person- ality, and her conscientiousness. Can we ever forget the cheerful little giggle which breaks from her under stress of amusement? She has taken the Kindergarten Course, for, you see, she has ambitions of teaching in her own town next year. Wherever she goes, the well wishes of the Class of 1920 go with her. ETHEL V. CLAYTON, Williamstown, Mass. She was the fairest of the fair, The gentlest of the kind, Search ye the wide world everywhere, Her like ye shall not find. 3' ET us turn back a year of time and see Ethel as a a-J Junior. A Junior among many, but even then we realized that she was one of the fortunate ones who are endowed with a charming manner, the gift of concen- tration and the love of sport. As the year rolled on we found Ethel at the head of the line in her studies, at the receptions, and always right there in the gymnasium. Ethel is also noted for her musical ability. Her fingers shame the ivory keys They dance so light along. And now as a Senior we greet her as Glee Club pianist and asa Class President of whom any class might be proud. During the entire year she has served us faithfully, that the standard of Old Normal should not fall. But such a disposition has this wee girl! A smile for all, a welcome glad A jovial coaxing way she had. In the future world of teaching Ethel will be successful, but we cannot take such a long profession seriously, can we Ethel? And as the time has come when we must say good-bye, we wish you all success and happiness. NORMALOGU E 25 MARY F. COLLINS, North Adams, Mass. God put us all upon this earth, That we might serve His ends, And then-to give the world some worth, He made some of us-friends. O one at N. A. N. S. is a truer friend to her class- mates than Our Mary . She is always ready with a kind word and cheery smile when the whole world seems blue. One of her valuable assets is a keen sense of humor, and no matter how down-hearted she may feel, she is always so pleasant that When out of luck, see Mary has become a well known expression among her class-mates. Though Mary is very fond of school life, it has been a source of wonder to us that she has been so fond of Gym C Jim j during her stay here. We also wonder why she was so interested in the history of Dan Cupid's picture. 'Tis also said that Mary is learning to drive a car- of the Buick variety. She likes candy, especially when combined with lunch-room dinners a La Carte. We wish you luck, Mary, and may you be as well- loved by your pupils next year as you are by your class- mates at N. A. N. S. A UJJL0,-ff IJ GRACE M. CREELAN, Pittsfield, Mass. Grace is jolly, Grace is gay, She studies hard from day to day. Here is a girl we shall never forget, If she has an equal we've not seen her yet. Many a time in this old school of ours, We've sat enraptured for solid hours. RACE is indeed a bright spot at N. A. N. S. No matter where she is or how she feels, she is always ready to give one a happy smile and a word of cheer. Like all good sports there is nothing that daunts her, and at a word's notice she will drop all work and climb Florida Mountain or go skating or skiing. Ask Grace sometime what three toots of a Ford horn or three fiashes of a flashlight mean. Many times during our Junior year when we sat in assembly and heard that violin of hers speak, it cer- tainly made the Seniors sit up and take notice. We all know that Grace, whose nicknames are Babe, Kid, Speed and Sunshine, and whose favorite saying is, Oh, my dear! will be dearly loved as a teacher. Here's hoping that best of luck for her in the coming years. ORMALQGUE ARMINIA C. DEGUIRE, Adams, Mass. Here's to Meanie, so sweet and petite, With manners so winning and ways so neat. RMINIA, one of our members from the Mother Town, has enjoyed great popularity. Her most winning disposition and kindness has won the love of all her classmates. They proved their admiration of her and her talents by electing her vice-president of the class, member and librarian of the Glee Club, and finally, editor-in-chief of this book, an honor not to be spoken of lightly. Indeed, Normal School has helped her to develop the many gifts which she possesses, for we now find that she has won an enviable reputation in the training school where we find her a central figure among teachers and pupils. In scholarship she is unsurpassed and for her all subjects seem easy. Whenever she gets up to recite, And still we gaze and still our wonder grows, That one small head can carry all she knows. Work, however, never interferes with her pleasure, for she is always ready to take part in any game or sport. Could anyone ever be more faithful to her school duties and show as much class spirit as Arminia has? Few there are like her, few like her we possess. No doubt she will be a decided success as a teacher, and the best wishes of 1920 go with her. EVELINA DE MARCO, North Adams, Mass. 'TIS easy enough to be pleasant, When life fiows along like a song, But the girl worth while is the one who will smile, When everything goes dead wrong. V. is one of the lively group that forms the greater 'I part of the class. Each morning without fail she comes to us at 8.30 o'clock to brighten and cheer the atmosphere of the Assembly Hall. She has always been a true and faithful student. Can- ing chairs and making memorandum pads were her specialty i?b. Friday afternoon usually found her in a most lively and happy mood. Evelina was obliged to take a trip to the North Adams Hospital during the summer, but she joined us as a Senior just as healthy and jolly as ever. How she man- aged it we are still wondering. Q Her sunny, genial disposition has won for her an un- precedented affection in the hearts of her classmates, and the friendship of the girls of 1920 will follow wherever the path of fortune may lead her. NORMALOGUF DOROTHY GRAY, Ashfield, Mass. To class she always goes prepared, To cut would be a crime, To joke and fool her noons away, For that she has no time. 'EOROTHY is another of our big city folks, hailing from Ashfield. However, the fact that she comes from a tiny place, does not detract from her great store of knowledge. For who can excel Dorothy in History? Who knows more about bird life? Who is our bright star in Literature? What, girls? Can't you do your Geography? Let's go to Dorothy. She'll tell us how. Dorothy is very fond of reading. Historical novels must be her favorite books, or how else would she be able to picture so vividly the historical facts which some of us have long since forgotten, or perhaps never heard of at all? Aside from books, Dorothy likes crocheting, for to her nothing is worse than idling. If she is as helpful to her pupils as she has been to her classmates, Dorothy will surely make a success of teach- ing. But her ambitions range high, for Dorothy ex- pects, after a year or two, to specialize in some subject. Whatever she undertakes, the best wishes of the Class of '20 go with her. ELIZABETH M. HAMMOND, Pittsfield, Mass. Quiet and well-conducted, but always ready for fun. EERE we have Betty , an all-round girl! Yes in- deed, Betty can do almost anything,- from being a charming hostess to running a Chevrolet . In the latter capacity she is especially proficient. So, many of the girls, and-Cwell, never mindl will tell you. Added to her many other accomplishments, Betty is something of a story writer. Ask any of the Kinder- gartenersf' Indeed, girls, we may expect to hear of Miss Elizabeth Hammond as being one of the foremost modern writers of stories for children. Betty has an unusual liking for the navy, and for everything that pertains to naval life. Have we not all noticed how becoming her middy blouses are? We all agree that the teaching profession will welcome Betty next year. The best wishes of the Class of 1920 go with her in her future life-work. 28 NORMALOGUE MAY B. HARRINGTON, Otis, Mass. Somebody said that it couldn't be done, But she, with a chuckle, replied That maybe it couldn't, but she would be one Who wouldn't say so till she'd tried. So she buckled right in with a bit of a grin On her face. If she worried, she hid it, She started to sing as she tackled the thing That couldn't be done-and she did it. Someone remarked: Oh, you'll never do that, At least, few ever have done it, But she went straight to work without loss of time And the first thing we knew she'd begun it, With a lift of her chin and a bit of a grin, Without any doubting or quibbit, She started to sing as she started the thing That couldn't be done-and she did it.

Could you imagine a young lady who has lived many a happy year in the atmos- phere of the college town of Williamstown being any other than a talented student? Indeed, her scholarship is very commendable. Can you imagine her getting papers marked See me? Her pleasing personality has won for her the highest respect of every member of her class. She has been an important member of the Glee Club and has always taken a generous part in the musical activities of the school, being one of the few soloists who have entertained us in Chapel. Athletics? Why she is always in just the place her opponents desire her not to be. Among her many other achievements, we must not forget her hearty cooperation with her classmates. Ever willing to serve in any way that seems most needed, her spirit is highly appreciated by us all. Surely Harriet will prove herself as capable a teacher as she has proved herself a beloved student and class- mate. NORMALOGU LEAFY M. HICKS, North Adams, Mass. Always busy and always ready. q 'EAFY is the girl from the wilds of Florida. A-L For two years she has trodden that lonely but famous trail which bears the name Mohawk No matter what season or weather, she is seen entering Normal promptly at 8.45 A. M. If a suggestion is wanted, she is ever ready to give it. Leafy believes that there is no friend like a good book, for if in search of her, one is always sure to find her in the library reading. With her it is always a case of work before pleasure. Leafy has taken up the Household Arts Course but we suspect that N. A. N. S. is but a stepping stone in her path to some other vocation which she has in mind, and that another kind of school may claim her soon. Altho quiet and demure, Leafyis one of our dependable, earnest and industrious girls, and to her we extend our best wishes for a successful teaching career. MARY C. HILLARD, North Adams, Mass. Pretty to walk with, Witty to talk with. HENEVER we see our Mary approaching, we know something is about to happen. Mary is one of our most popular girls and also one of the many U9 sports of 1920. Basketball, dancing, shows, all hold attraction for her. As she is always ready for a good time, we need not be surprised to find her teaching in New York soon. Mary is not only popular, she is also a scholar of ability, as all will testify. During her stay at Normal she has also been a very faithful and reliable member of our Glee Club. Of late, however, she has directed her attention to the northwest. Why? Ask 'Mac'. Our heartiest wish is that she shall have great happiness. 30 NORMALOGUE l CAROLYN B. HYDE, Pittsfield, Mass.

Surely there is not one girl in the class who has been more studious and ambitious than Carolyn. Her lessons are always prepared, and We feel sure that she will be able to impart her knowledge. But this is not all, for outside of school, she is a fine sport and is always willing to take part 'JHERES to Carolyn, the girl with the smile!

Blessings on thee, Agnes Joyce, Laughing girl with merry voice! Live and laugh as girlhood can! Member of our jolly clan. LL Taconic Hall can bear testimony to Agnes' merrily whistled tunes at six-thirty in the morning. They simply cannot be repressed, but bubble over in fun and good comradeship. She is a very quiet girl at times and decidedly bashful, but strange to say, the queerest of stunts are sometimes laid at her door, which accusations she always encounters with the greatest surprise and innocence. Agnes is a great leader in athletics, and was soon elected as one of the captains in Gym, We are told that dumb animals have a way of know- ing one's character, and perhaps this is why one and all seek Agnes whenever she ventures among them, or per- chance it is that:- Her music hath the power to soothe Each wild and restless heart, And all unknowing, captivate ' Its owner from the start. NORMALOGU MABEL M. LEWIS, Adams, Mass. Quick to laugh at your joke with you, Ready to do what you want to do, Blessed with a temper, whose unclouded ray Can make tomorrow cheerful as today. ERE is Mabel, to whom we all appeal when in doubt, distress or need of advice, for her own work is secondary when a classmate needs help. If we did not love her so well, we should all be jealous of her ability to think so quickly and to answer questions where the rest of us fail. Next to rearranging people's beds, her favorite indoor sport is making Taconic Hall safe for her little C'?J room-mate. We hope that the youngsters who will call her teacher will appreciate their privilege. Wherever she goes, Mabel will succeed, and one and all we wish her luck. CATHERINE F. MACKSEY, North Adams, Mass. Slie's clever and popular and pretty, Most vivacious and decidedly witty. ATHERINE is one of the most popular girls of the class. If there is anything doing anywhere, you may count upon her to be there, whether it be at basket- ball games, dances or shows. When we see her read her mail, we think most of her letters are bills . One more thing must be mentioned, namely her leaning towards the South. No explanation is necessary. Ask Mary. For two years she lfas favored the Glee Club with her charming voice. Cat is not only a social star, but also a good scholar. She is ever willing to help anyone in need, and indeed we often go to her for advice. 32 NORMALOGUE JANET D. MADISON, North Adams, Mass. Because your generous heart gave out A kindly thought a minute, You made our school a whole lot better Just by being in it. I HIS curly-haired Scotch lass followed in her sister's footsteps, but she did not appear at Normal until the third day after the class of 1920 had started uponits career. What we would have missed if Janet hadn't decided to come into our midst! Who could ever forget her hearty laugh which we will always remember as belonging peculiarly to Janet? To Daisy we are responsible for many of the good times we have had in the past two years. Her favorite sug- gestion was, Let's have a feed -and M-m-m the tempt- ing delicious spreads which resulted. We must not forget to give this popular classmate of ours high credit for the standard she has set in her school work. Wherever Janet goes she will indeed be a faithful follower of her profession, and still give every- body a good time. May others enjoy Janet as we have during these two years at Normal. SARA C. MCCANN, North Adams, Mass. No one knew her but to love her No one knew her but to praise. LTHOUGH Sara is very small, she has played a large part in making Normal School life one to be long remembered. She always has a bright sunny smile when others seem to be gloomy or sad of heart. As soon as she enters assembly hall you will always hear her say, Good morning, everybody. Did you say you wished to increase your vocab- ulary? Just ask Sara for a few new words, she always has a great supply of them at hand. Surely no one will ever be able to forget how willingly Sara has always been to entertain us with her clear, sweet voice in Chapel, in the Glee Club, and with her dancing at our socials and in the gyrn. This little lass is one of our Kindergarteners and we all think she is specially adapted for this line of work. If you had ever seen her with a class of little children, especially when telling them a story, I am sure you, too, would agree with us. We all know she will make a great success in the teaching profession and the best wishes of the Class of 1920 go with her. NORMALOGUE REGINIA T. MCLAREN, Adams, Mass. Be gone! dull care, I prithee, begone! Be gone! dull care, thou and I shalt never agree. O quotation applies to our little C25 Scotch lass so well as the above, for indeed she is one of the most care- free girls of our class. At all times she is as jolly and light hearted as can be. And isn't it true that, Smiles and dimples play at hide-and-seek, On her apple-blossom cheek? What is her favorite enjoyment, did you ask? Surely you haven't heard her tell of the bestest time she had at the dance last night, or you would realize that danc- ing is her hobby. Can she play basketball? Just watch her, or rather, let her play guard against you and you will be convinced of the great agility she possesses, and, too, let her land on your toes and this will convince you of the extreme lightness of our featherweight. But it isn't all play and no work in Genie's case for she is very conscientious and has a good record. She is seen at her best, however, in the training school where her sunny disposition has made her a favorite with the children. For two years Reginia has honored the Glee Club by being one of its members. She has also been a faithful corresponding secretary of the class. We feel that the financial success of 1920 is largely due to this class- mate, for it is she who has been chairman of our frank- furt sales and in one of these we cleared as much as a three dollar loss. You're all right 'Genie,' you're true blue, Nineteen twenty's best wishes to you. , w ll ' . figs 1' 'ff rf: .4 , 'Y - ,fm ' I part fw lv' wif Vi fl, W. ,bfi- '., sw ., 'X. -N'v pf. ri f I ' . . l is Z' MARGARET MILLER, North Cnester, Mass.

It's Margaret's typewriter, of course, for she is always busy in one way or another. Her motto seems to be, And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain, for Margaret is not always satisfied when the required amount has been prepared, but does additional work as well. During the two years of our acquaintance, there is not a girl in the class whom Margaret has not befriended. Our best wishes for success in whatever she may undertake, go with Margaret.

If so, you will not wonder why Drusilla is such a strong, sturdy little body for anyone who has lived all her life in the mountains is apt to be healthy: U, When Drusilla came to us she was very shy and reti- cent. I am wondering whether we knew her then! Even though she is a member of Miss Pearson's art class, she cannot distinguish red hair from light. She has a mania for driving Fords and has toured a good share of the surrounding country, even going as far as Lawrence, one of our large manufacturing cities. She is always lending someone a helping hand, and no one appreciates this more than the Dorm girls. May all our best wishes go with you Our good friend, loyal and true. GLADYS B.

This lass so neat, with smiles so sweet, Has won our right good wills. We'd crown resign to call her ours, Sweet lass from Vermont's hills. LADYS became known to most of us at the beginning of our Senior year when she returned to complete her course after a year's rest at her home in Pownal. Perhaps it is because she is the only girl from that little town, that she receives all the knocks about the place, but she takes them like a sport. How many times in the coming years we shall look back to these days when Gladys was ready with a witty tale or store of conundrums, both of which are her specialty. But with her it is, Work when you work, and play when you play. If she works in the future as she does now, we are sure she will be a success. The good wishes of 1920 go with her.

Hubby or Bess AN you not hear Helen as she came tripping thru the hall, asking some of the little Juniors the very im- portant question, Land sakes, what was that? To go out West or to the Hawaiian Islands is one of her greatest ambitions. Those who are well acquainted with Helen, all know of her untiring desire to help others, even if her own work or pleasure has to be forfeited. At Normal, Helen has lived a studious life, but the truth is, her hobby is snowshoeing. When, on many occasions, Helen started from the top of that wonder- ful vista, the Mohawk Trail and made the Normal in surprisingly few minutes, looked at us and said, Say it took me only thirty minutes to come down, then we wondered and marveled at this little lady's great skill in Walking. Here's to Helen: Pink are her cheeks, and black her hair, A jollier girl you'll find nowhere. Domestic Arts is where she will shine, For, as we know, this is her line. ALICE M.

Oh, yes, Alice is one of the girls who has found a lasting place in our hearts. She has al- ways taken great interest in her class and has proved her worth in the manner in which she has kept our records as class secretary. She greets us each morning with a pleasant smile and a cheery good morning which starts the day right. If any disputes arise, Alice always settles them for she is our Goddess of Justice. She has been very successful in all her school work, but she seems especially Well composed among the little children. Her modest and graceful manners have made everyone love her, and so she takes with her the good wishes of the class, for we feel sure she will succeed in whatever work she chooses to follow.

Ever faithful to us all, Josephine has never done anything she thought might harm her beloved class. That's the kind of spirit we like in anybody and in Jo it is especially gratifying, for she is well known as a quite discriminating person. Jo's greatest amusement is teaching. In this, we find her at her best. Self-contained, reliable and efficient, describes her as well as anything.

'JKATHERINE is one of those girls who, once known, A is never forgotten. If any one is feeling blue to whom does she go? Why, to Katherine, of course. A firm believer that the dearest spot on earth is home, sweet home, is Katherine. Last year she went home regularly every two weeks, but this year her position as President of the Students' Council necessitates her presence at Taconic Hall, where she usually starts all the pranks, and then, suddenly, after the mischief is done, remembers her position. Katherine, besides being a celebrated story teller, isa real book worm, and week ends she makes a collection of classical readings from which she is to get her only amusement, so she says. Sometimes we think Katherine manufactures money, because after declaring every Friday morning that she is broke, she is the most enthusiastic patron of the movies Friday evening, Saturday afternoon and evening. By her superiors Katherine is thought quiet and demure. They should see her on the third floor! That is where we find her the jolliest, best-natured girl ever, and we shall always feel that, With such a comrade, such a friend We fain would walk till journey's end. HELEN S.

She is everyone's friend and is what the girls call a good sport. Whether at dancing, skating or moving pictures, she always enters in with zest. And who can forget those exciting games of basket- ball when Helen played guard? Perhaps one reason why she was so successful in this position was because of her height. How well we remember the Hallowe'en party when she appeared before us as a bold and daring sailor boy! Thus in recalling our two years at N. A. N.

At once we see the result. Excellent in scholarship, popular with everyone, she still has a quiet, unassuming, yet pleasing way about her. There is another thing about Dawn, nothing phases her. She was especially brilliant in Sanitation her Junior year, as is shown by the following: Miss Varrell: What makes hot air rise? Dawn: Why, more hot air behind, pushing it. During her Senior year we find her especially interested in the Household Hearts work. Cooking and sewing held great attractions for her. Then, too, she has spec- ialized in the Manual Training Department. We hope that the knowledge she has gained here will be of good use to her in her new vocation. For Dawn has a diamond. Congratulations, Dawn! May a long and happy life be yours. WINIFRED B. WOOD, Cheshire, Mass.

But when you have reached the point where she is no longer Miss Wood nor Winifred, but Freddie, you find that your first impression was altogether wrong. For Freddie is quite the opposite of demure, in fact, she is one of the liveliest, most vivacious girls we have. We can truthfully say that Freddie is excellent in scholar- ship and a success at everything she triesfunless it be knitting-which if you ask her, she will say she adores. Slie is a much travelled person, too, having commuted between Cheshire and North Adams during her Junior year. But when a Senior she felt that the dormitory needed some Cheshire sunshine, and so she stayed there, helping the Taconic Hall girls make merry. Freddie was our Junior class president, and this year has been much interested in Household Arts, but occasional- ly one may hear her sigh, Why didn't I take a special course in farming. You see, she believes in being frank. Whatever she may do in the future, the Class of 1920 wishes her happiness. , is -QQ., . - If ??+!f!e4r' !W!U'U?M Ugu! .Y I -. , S .-.-v--.M i a--A -u 'K i .

By that I mean that we should have been in our seats at that time, but how many of us really were? The last of November we began rehearsing for an operetta. Three or four times a week we had rehearsals, but on account of a great deal of sickness among the girls We never gave it. After this we held our rehearsals on Monday and Wednesday noons and spent all our time on music for the concert. Anyone entering the Assembly Hall during that time quickly went out again. Whether she did not appreciate good music or Whether she was afraid of disturbing us, I do not know, but the fact remains, she did not stay to hear us.

The chorus, which is composed of Junior and Senior students, was assisted by the Marshall trio. With characteristic generosity the three furnished many numbers, all of which proved most delightful and entertaining to the audience. Our Cantata called Three Springs was exceptionally beautiful in harmony and was rendered with best effort by the chorus and soloists. It stood out as the leading feature of the program and was heard with much enjoyment and received high comment from all. A double trio composed of Junior members sang a single part of the Cantata and so fine was their singing that even we-the Senior members- must offer them praise. Like- wise, a double trio of Seniors rendered a number from the Cantata and this, too, was much appreciated. Thanks and appreciation are due to the untiring efforts of Miss Searle and to our leader and pianist. We feel that they are responsible for the great success of our Glee Club. Arminia C.

Before our Senior year was completed we could perform on the horizontal and vertical ladders and stall bars and shinny the ropes, with as much speed and pleasure as our primate ancestors. Who can forget those games of stationary? Whenever Miss Skeele asked what we wanted to play, there was a generous chorus, Stationary! One day the Juniors plucked up courage and challenged us to a game, which we won by a large score. During the months of May and June we had out-of-doors exercises on pleasant days. Windsor Lake, Natural Bridge, the Tunnel, afew miles towards Adams, and Witts Ledge were the favorite walks. Tennis, croquet, and baseball were also enjoyed during these months. We feel that our time spent in gym has been beneficial, not only in the pleasure derived from our games, but also in our physical training, and wish to thank Miss Skeele for her patience and kindness. Helen S. Tracy NORMALOGUE 45 Krngraphg Elripn O leave out an account of the Geography trips would be far from fair to our Normal I School, for we learn a great deal from them. Early in the fall, at intervals during the winter, and even this spring, we have made these interesting trips to the mills of North Adams and Adams. During our Senior Year, as part of our work in Geography, we were given the privilege of visiting the Hoosac Cotton Mills, Shoe Factory, Windsor Print Works, Paper Mill, and with the exception of two members, the class visited the foundry. Those two started all right, only they lost their way to the foundry, which is a little over a five minute walk from the Normal School. On all of these trips We had the pleasure of having Mr. Eldridge accompany us, and thus each process was made perfectly clear to us, both while visiting and the next day in class. All of us appreciate the opportunities thus given us by these visits, and feel that, were they not spoken of in our book, our Normalogue surely would be incomplete. M. E lizabeth. Boyle Uhr Natural Brings 'Qlrip HE annual trip of the Senior Class to Natural Bridge is one of the things connected ' with our school, that one cannot forget. It is with great pleasure mingled with anxiety that this trip is made. On Monday afternoon, September twenty-ninth, the class of 1920 started out on this great adventure. After gathering in the Geography room, we proceeded down Church Street to Pleasant, over the hill and came out at the junction of Miner and Union streets. The large Hoosac Cotton mill, which is located on either side was here called to our attention. Next we passed the Beaver mill which is also situated on the North Branch. From here we followed this stream up for a little Way, noticing the union of this river and Hudson's Brook. Here we turned to the left, and continued up the road which leads to the Natural Bridge. A large marble quarry is situated very near the Bridge, and an industry for the pul- verizing of the marble is located close by. This unusual sight for the majority of the class was very entertaining. Climbing up a very steep and narrow pair of stairs, we found ourselves on the top and overlooking the quarry. Following a wood road for a little way we came to a wooden bridge Where we were able to look over either side into a canyon of pure white marble. We went on a little Way, and then sat down under the trees. While resting here Mr. Eldridge read from Hawthorne's Note Book several selections relating to his visits to this bridge. Next we crossed over the Natural Bridge, and from this position we could look up the canyon and under the Bridge at the swirling water below. After this we decided that we would like to go down under the Bridge, a feat that most of the class attempted, but after going a little way a few of the girls declared that they wouldn't risk their lives, so turned back. With the help of rocks, poles and of one another we succeeded in reaching the bottom of the canyon. While under the bridge special attention was called to the wonderful formation 46 NORMALOGUE of the rock, pieces of which many of the class took for souvenirs of this most interesting trip. After enjoying this novel experience for a while, we turned around and started back. Not until we reached Diana's Bath did any noteworthy incident occur, but at this point one member of our party placed her foot on what seemed to be a solid enough founda- tion, but proved to be a slippery rock, and was thrown forward into the water, which though not harmful was very cold and disagreeable. The climb out of the canyon was much easier than the going down, and we reached the top, feeling well repaid for our efforts. In coming home we took a different route, whereby we were able to see Mount Greylock, Fitch, Williams and Prospect, the Berlin Mountains, Ragged Mountain and Camel's Hump. This excursion which the class of 1920 made in connection with our Geography will always remain one of the pleasant memories of our two years spent in the North Adams Normal School. Drusilla J. Miner . cuz. Uhr lilnninr ifwrvptinn N the evening of September nineteenth, nineteen hundred nineteen, the timidity of the Juniors was brought into full display. On this memorable evening it was, that the sophisticated Seniors held their usual reception at Taconic Hall in honor of their under-classmates. Untold dread was plainly stamped upon the faces of the Juniors,-for wasn't it very evident to them that they would be obliged to pass through that receiving line, and more- over be under the keen gaze of the teachers? Each Senior in a very condescending manner escorted an unwilling Junior to the Reception Hall, and subsequently, through the receiving line. Soon the ordeal which they dreaded most was over, and the pleasure of the evening commenced. As a prelude to the evening's enjoyment, an entertainment was tendered by members of our illustrious Senior class. The program as carried out consisted of the following numbers Violin Solo ......................................... H. CHACE Tambourine Dance ............................... S. MCCANN Vocal Solo ......... HASKINS Recitation .... ...... M . LEWIS . . SG. CREELAN Violin Duet .... ............ Z E. BOYLE Reading ............. .... M ISS M. L. BARIGHT Piano Accompanists ......................... 5 E' CLAYTON KG. MONTGOMERY So great was the pleasure derived from the efforts of the participants that each was urgently requested to respond to an encore. Following this entertainment, all took part in a grand march which was led by two members of the student body. Then in fancy we went back to the time of our grandmothers, and, with much hilarity and lightheartedness, danced the Virginia Reel. Finally, leaving behind the quaint times of the Virginia Reel, we returned to our more modern era and tripped the light fantastic till the wee hours 0' the mornin'. The reception was well attended, giving evidence of the excellent class spirit which permeates our student body. The evening was one of much interest and enjoyment, and will, I am sure, be long remembered by those who attended. Sara C. McCann Ihr igeillninifvn lgartg N the evening of October thirty-first, 1919, the winds played weird tunes around the corners of the Normal buildings, and if one had watched and waited he would have seen ghosts and witches aplenty-but festivities within commanded the attention of all who desired to make merry on that well remembered occasion. Within the dormitory the corridors were silent and bare, an unusual occurrence at such an hour in the evening. However, a stifled giggle would now and then penetrate the stillness, heralding the fact that some mysterious event was about to take place. Then, one by one, heads cautiously appeared, and the queerest of personages came and went with never a word to explain their presence. Each woreamask, and seemed entirely at a loss to account for his queer neighbors. A peaceful Chinaman gazed in oriental astonishment at dainty Bo-Peep and pretty Red Riding Hood. Ghosts and witches parted in haste as the Indians descended upon them with blood- curdling yells, and a gallant Knight of the Round Table stood by to defend his fair lady from harm. At length, with one accord, the long and solemn procession wound its way through the perilous subway to the center of the festivities, namely the gymnasium. The spacious hall had been artistically decorated by the faithful Juniors. A sign of hearty welcome greeted the merry-makers, and smiling pumpkins and ruddy apples held sway among the black cats and witches. Other figures from the outside world, in bright hued garments, now joined themselves to those proceeding from the dormitory. Among these were placid Indian squaws and pretty little school girls, as well as milk-maids and a huge black cat. A score more of wonderful beings seated themselves on the bleachers, but the bleachers too were weary of the commonplace and refused to bear such a burden, with the result that the masqueraders found themselves in humiliating heaps upon the floor. Soon a tall ghost, with dignity and authority, mounted a box-like platform and com- manded the trembling persons, to whom slips of paper had been given, to come forth and per- form as their messages instructed. One plump ghost swam gracefully across the floor. A clever squaw repeated Yankee Doodle backwards. An exasperated lady flew by on her way to catch avanishing trolley car, and a tall sailor boy stood against the wall and jumped backwards. Many other wonderful feats were performed at this time. When the afore-mentioned ghost had completed doling out such horrible penalties, she descended from her platform, and another seated herself in a prominent place and proceeded to make the blood run cold with a good, old-fashioned Hallowe'en ghost story. When this was finished and all had recovered their breath, masks were removed and friends and neighbors united. NORMALOGUE 49 Prizes were awarded to the wearers of the prettiest, the cleverest and the worst look- ing costumes. After this groups of girls might be seen in different parts of the room, bobbing and try- ing to bite the swinging apples. At this point the music began, and with it the dancing. Bright and gay were the costumes as the couples whirled and twisted about the room. When the dancers were beginning to tire, the clever Juniors again came forward and served delicious doughnuts, coffee and marshmallows. Never did refreshments taste so good. Cheers and yells were given by both the Seniors and the Juniors, and at a late hour all departed, tired and happy. Mabel M. Lewis GB111' an Belnrvzi' Butterflies with dancing feet, Dressed in scarlet, blue and pink, Strains of music, low and sweet From the fern embankment creep. 'Man Dance'! Oh, Joy! and only three Weeks from tonight, May fourteenth. These were some of the expressions voiced by a few members of the class. But oh, how slowly those three weeks seemed to go! Would they ever end? The days seemed like years. Class meetings were called at which conscientious committees on invitations, pro- grams, refreshments, decorations and reception were chosen to carry out the ideal stan- dards upheld by the school, and together they planned to make the social evening a grand success. How hard they worked! ' Formal invitations were sent far and near and acceptances received, for who would fail to attend a dance at Normal? It was not an unusual sight to see the girls Hitting up stairs and down and from one class room to another, filling out programs and discussing the topic of dress, between classes. How their eyes sparkled and the pink mounted to their cheeks, if by chance they were late for class. At last the eventful evening came! At promptly 7.30 guests began to arrive and soon everyone was talking at the same time and discussing all topics imaginable, even the weather. But all too soon the time to pass through the receiving line approached, and all too slowly it ended. But once in the reception hall, which was prettily decorated with ferns, flowers, and leaves, gaiety reigned supreme. Dancing and music, laughter and song All down the hallway echoed long. Between the dances dainty refreshments were served and short walks through the corridors were enjoyed by all. But Father Time kept moving gradually toward the hour when we must depart, and soft strains of Home Sweet Home warned us we must now say adieu. Many thanks for the delightful evening were expressed by all, and as we left the dance hall, we all hoped we might have another dance in the near future. Harriet E. Haskins Enrmitnrg iliifr T the beginning of the school year, sixteen Juniors met at Taconic Hall. There were many new things to become accustomed to, but the Seniors took us in hand, and instructed us in dormitory etiquette. As the weeks rolled by, how many times we must have shocked our instructors, when their stern looks could not keep us from talking at table over the week ends, and when we would have seconds , How much can happen in a very short length of time! Many and varied were the forms of entertainment in which we indulged from 9:30 to 10:15 P. M. Imagine getting into your cot just before lights out and finding-a wet wash cloth, a generous sprinkling of salt, nut shells or something equally pleasant UD. Those who failed to take part in the general hilarity might expect to find crepe adorning their doors. Basketball games after study hours, Sunday night lunches and midnight spreads are all fraught with pleasantest memories. Our dinner parties were surely the jolliest ever, for no girl's birthday was allowed to pass unnoticed. It was on such occasions that the dining room took on a festive appear- ance, for gay streamers and place cards on the big party table in the corner appealed as strongly to the eye as the goodies did to the taste. These are only a few of the things that have occurred during our two years at Taconic Hall. Years so full of work, and such jolly good times together, will long be remembered by us all. Dorothy Gray Ghz illilnrk webbing TUDY hour in the dormitory! That time of all times when silence prevails through- out the building. But hark! The silent spell is broken and a sharp giggle penetrates the brooding stillness. Then follow mysterious sounds-the pit pat of cautious feet-- more giggles, grunts and groans. At last nine-thirty arrives. On the second and third fioors, doors open simultaneously and occupants emerge. Like twin flashes of light- ning our efficient ushers, L. Brewer and E. Boyle, speed down to the reception hall to await the arrival of the guests. Whether led by curiosity or by loyalty to the students, nearly all of the teachers and all of the Juniors are present. Soon the ears of the expectant throng catch the weird fantas- tical strains of distant music. Nearer and nearer it comes until, in the fullness of its glory, the band marches into the reception hall. It is led by K. Tracy, the impresario, born, reared and educated in West Stockbridge. Next in line is the dust-pianist, M. Miller, the violinist, H. Chaceg and that musical prodigy, D. Gray, from whose bow comes the wildest and most turbulent strains. The comb-o, under the masterful hand of E. Hammond yields tones that might come from another world, so unrestrained and entrancing are they. Pending the arrival of the bridal procession, the band renders several movements of an obscure symphony. And now comes the bridal party. As the bride, C. Hyde, tall, stately, and a trifle bored, comes in on her father's arm, there is a long, long trail of her scarlet gown a-winding after her. Her veil is a sheet, held to her head dress by a decorative bit of picture wire. The bridal bouquet is of fleur de cabbage. The bride's father, A. Joyce, is wearing a checked pinch-back over an abbreviated Palm Beach suit. His Visage is adorned by goggles and a bedraggled Van Dyke. The flower girl, G. Creelan, wanders hither and thither strew- ing slippery petals before the bridal party. The bridesmaid, W. Wood, walks alone and is garbed in an exquisitely draped gown of changeable silk. Her smart train is of burlap, folded over a cleverly concealed beet, which proves a pitfall for the unwary. Now comes the most essential part of the procession-the groom, M. Lewis, attired in a buck private's uniform. Five feet one in French heels, he presents a most imposing spec- tacle. A Van Dyke lends dignity to his stern countenance and is the envy of every man present. With the groom, walks, H. Tracy, the best man. He wears a white sailor suit with an easy grace most uncommon in a sailor. The bride's mother, H. Moore, marches sadly in, weeping copiously, no doubt out of sympathy for the groom. Her gown is concealed by an evening wrap of original design, which has been copied by Vogue Her chapeau is a Chaplin sailor, donned with the aid of a shoe horn. ' The rabbi, G. Montgomery, is wearing robes consisting of a bathrobe, partially covered by a trailing tapestry of rare design. His hat is a waste paper basket covered with a sailor's tie, and it retains its position as if held by an unseen hand. The text is impressive, being gathered from diverse sources. Even the guests are moved to tears by the solemnity of the occasion. The single ring service is used, at the fateful moment our hero slips a dough- nut on the blushing bride's finger. At this point, a tardy guest, L. Smith, arrives. Attired in a picture hat and a childish smock, she is quite petite and fetching. To a revised edition of Mendelssohn's Wedding March the procession files majestically out, to return in a moment to enjoy the dancing which follows. - Agnes E. J oyce Zllrnm the Biarg nf a Enrm Girl Monday- This proved the most horrid day I ever spent. The rising bell woke me up at 6230! I started to see how long it rang, but fell asleep before it stopped. The ten after seven awoke me the next time, yet I would have gotten into breakfast on time, but my shoe string broke! Waited around for mail until one minute of nine, and then did not have any. Fell asleep in chapel while listening to an inspiring talk by our Principal. Failed when I was called on in Psychology, and lost a perfectly good reputation. Tuesday- Happy day-Got a letter from Jack, and he loves me more than ever. Showed my ability as orator when called on to give a speech in Oral Composition. Class meeting at 1:15 P. M. Conly two on handj. Skipped out the back door during gym and went to the movies. Ice cream for dinner! Had a fine fashion show after study hour. Wednesday- Was awakened at 5:30 when fire alarm rang. Had a wonderful interesting lecture on Culture . Begin teaching tomorrow! Had a short conference of an hour and a half with my teacher, who told me I was to write only four lesson plans. Thursday- Rained cats and dogs. We all felt grouchy. Had a fine drawing lesson with Miss Pearson, in which I practiced balance, rhythm and harmony. Celebrated my merits by giving a midnight spread. Friday- What do you suppose I learned today? Mr. Smith 'told us that he was never in love. That's queer! Had tomato bisque soup and baked beans for lunch. After dinner went to the carnival. Stopped on our way back to have a Normal High Ball. Saturday- Got up at 9130! Renovated my room according to rules and regulations given in Sanitation class CFD. Did my washing and ironing in twenty minutes. Went down street to see the sights. Sunday- Slept late. Fred, Bet, Dot, Peg and I made a breakfast on sweet chocolate. Went to church. Heard a fine sermon on Opportunities Wrote a letter to Jack. Started to study at 9:30. Glad Montgomery Cbutaihr iliifr ' UN in outside life? you ask. What a foolish question! Of course We outside girls .H have fun-not all the joys of Normal School belong to the dorm'?.girls. We certainly keep up to them, and sometimes I think we-. This was as much as I overheard of the conversation-but as I went on my way I realized that all the outside girl had said was true. The girl who partakes of outside life does not necessarily live a life of monotony. No, indeed! Just ask an outside girl about some of the good times she has had. Ask her if she remembers the spread that was prepared in the cooking room and served on the dining-room table moved out into the corridor. She will tell you about it in such a way that perhaps you will wish you had been there to see for yourself. Surely, you would have enjoyed the color scheme. Do not think that we shall forget the knowledge gained at Normal about color schemes. Now the color scheme of this memorable spread was -don't gasp!- green and orange. Truly red devil, or, to call it by a more conventional name, tomato- rarebit harmonizes beautifully with the green plant which we had as a centerpiece. Yet I must not forget to add that the outside girl will tell you how that red devilnharmonizes with herself, when she is eating it. This was only one of the spreads-for each girl could tell you about a different one served in the lunch-room, perhaps to celebrate a birthday or even to celebrate the last day before each vacation. I wonder also if that girl will ever forget the noon hours- the gay chatter at the lunch table and those never-to-be forgotten noon hour chats in the assembly room. What was there to talk about? Ask the outside girl-she knows. Perhaps you'd be surprised! The Psychology book which was clung to during those Hgossiping minutes was forgotten in the interest which all had in the topic under discussion. And then the mock wedding, and the wedding repast at Clifford's restaurant, and the theatre party, and-! Enough said, you say. Oh, but the outside girl could tell you more-but perhaps this is enough for one time. She is ready for an appointment any time to tell you more about the life of an outside girl at the Normal School. Ethel V. Clayton Ellie illllnrk Mrhhing HAT could we do? For a whole week nothing in particular had happened. We couldn't have another spread, and anyhow we wanted something different. Yes we will have a mock wedding, a real nice one,ea military wedding and . . . So ran the conversation every noon during that week. We tried to keep it a secret, but how could we? The Juniors sat at the next table to us and always kept their ears alert to all we said. We then proceeded to choose our bridal party. First, who would be our bride and groom? Finally, Meanie Deguire for the bride and Janet Madison for the groom were unanimously chosen. Then we chose Marcella Barrett for the minister, Mary Collins for the bridesmaid, and Alice Nichols for the best man. Laura Charon was to be the brides stern father and Frances Dooley, her mother. Would this complete our party? Indeed not, we must have flower girls and train bearers, for whoever saw a wedding of such im- portance without these? So Genie McLaren and Leafy Hicks were the flower girls while the train bearers were Cat Macksey, Joe Tallarico, Sara McCann, Dawn Williams and Mary Hillard. Tlfe next thing We did was to write our invitations to the Juniors and Faculty. It read thus: Your presence is requested at the marriage of Iona Million and O. B. Joyful in the Normal Hall at 4:30 Dec. 16, 1919 At precisely the hour, when all the guests were assembled in the Chapel, the bridal party entered to the strain of Lohengrin's Wedding March, beautifully rendered by Miss O. B. Youthful, better known to us as Ethel Clayton. Miss O. U. Cuckoo, alias Harriet Haskins, sang with charm the piece, I Love You Truly. The procession was led by the flower girls, who looked very dainty and pretty. These were followed by the bridesmaid, becomingly gowned in a blue satin evening dress. The bride, Miss Iona Million, was unusually charming in her white satin dress and bridal veil worn in the Russian cap effect. The groom and best man looked exceedingly gallant in their well fitted uniforms and trench caps. Reverend R. U. Smart performed the ceremony with much apprehension as to the outcome, seeing that there was a vampire in the case. There was no weeping or wailing of the onlookers, as the Wedding was no frivolous affair. The ring, cast from a horseshoe nail Cno more than one of Woolworth's bestj was carried in on a meat platter. The ceremony was rather long, owing to the stammering of the minister and the pleading of the vampire. However, the father with scornful dignity settled the matter by giving her a check for a million dollars. After the ceremony, the members of the party and guests adjourned to the reception hall, the gym - for dancing, and later to Clifford's Hotel Where the wedding feast was served. The friends of the bride and groom extended them their wishes for a long and de- lirious life. The couple left on an unannounced wedding trip. On their return they will make their home on the main road to Peru where the groom holds a responsible position as janitor of the country school where Mrs. O. B. Joyful for- merly acted as teacher. Mary C. H illard Biarg nf a Elnum CEM Monday- Dear Journal: I started the week wrong by missing that dear old eight o'clock car. I really had some work to do before school, but then I was spared the agony of sitting so still and calm during Chapel, and I suppose I was lucky, in a way, that I missed the car. This noon we had a gorgeous spread . We hadvcreamcake and Red-Devil Ca devilish combinationh, and I had such indigestion during Psychology that I nearly expired. Tuesday- W I got the car all right this morning, but it was raining and I didn't have time to get an umbrella. I didn't mind so much though. The walk up Church Street Cin the rainl is wonderfully good for developing one's power of resistance. By June I shall be able to dive into the ocean without getting wet. I planned on getting the 4.30 car but a student proposes, and the Lit. teacher disposes. I had to stay until five-thirty copying a poem. I always hated poems anyway. Wednesday- R. L. S. gave us a written lesson in Psychology today. I spent half the period trying to remember to what book the questions referred, but as I haven't an intimate acquaint- ance with any of them I decided to write at random. In sewing, I punctured my finger with the needle twice, and nearly severed Ag's digit with my scissors. Isuppose R. L. S. would say that I was developing a very unique type of mania. Thursday- I went auto-riding with Bob last night and I had such a glorious time that I forgot that I had a Lit. lesson to write until I was putting my left foot on the car this morn- ing. Lou loaned me a pencil and I managed to write it, after a fashion, but I got so excited that I forgot to take my lunch when I got off. There was some cream cake in it, too. I had to go down-street for lunch. My! Church Street seems awfully long during noon hours. Friday- Somehow I was very sleepy this morning and when the question, Do you get the point, Miss-? was hurled at me in Geography class, I said, Yes-certainly-of course, rather gushingly. To tell the truth,I didn't know whether he meant the point of ajoke or of a pin. We got our Psychology papers back today. I got a nice fat-looking 'B'. Perhaps it wasn't so corpulent when judged on a percentage basis but it looked good enough to me. Lou and I were going home Cor to the movies if they looked goodj at 3:15, but the T. S. teacher decreed that I confer with her at 4, so we changed our minds. We had to stand up all the way home on the car. I dropped my books and lost some valuable papers. Resolved: That strap-hanging be abolished. .

All of this and more is included in our training along this line. Everything from pickling to candy, from hot drinks to iced ones, from soups to desserts, we have tried. Our successes were dazzling to behold, and our failuresv- Whose fault was it when two sponge cakes decided to leave their protecting tins and scorch on the hot oven bottom? There surely must have been an evil spirit pervading those two! But in order really to prove our abilities and in order that others besides ourselves might be judges, we gave several luncheons. The first was given January 15, 1920. The hostess was Miss Montgomery and the two well-trained waitresses were Miss Clayton and Miss Hicks. The menu was as follows: ' Tomato bisque soup Croutons Salmon salad Baking powder biscuits Apple pie a la mode ' Coffee The next attempt was on January 29, 1920 when a rather impromptu luncheon was served. Although some guests arrived rather unexpectedly, everything came out all right in the end. Miss Varrell, Mrs. Van Etten, Miss Braden, Miss Searle and Julia Plumb were the guests of honor while the Misses Haskins and Wood served. The other members of the class ate with the guests. Again the first part of February, the Household Arts and Kindergarten girls united in giving a luncheon in honor of Mrs. Couch, to show their love and admiration for her. This, like the others, proved a great success. The first part of February we were initiated into the art of needlework. While some members of the class excelled in this line, others had had no more experience than sewing on buttons. Before passing the course, everything in the art of dressmaking had to be mastered. We made every kind of stitch ever invented-and some the like of which was never seen before or since. To test our powers, shirt waists, nightgowns, sewing bags and dresses were made. We were taught that ability to patch and darn along with knowledge of budget making helps make sailing in Household Hearts courses much smoother and less liable to House- hold Heartachesf' As some members of our class are planning immediate ventures in this direction Cand all will foll-ow sooner or laterj the patching, darning and budget making pro- gresses wonderfully. Our success is due to the sympathy and friendly leadership given us by our instructor, Miss Varrell. In acknowledgment of which we hope that other classes will appreciate her as much as she deserves. i Winifred B. Wood -4 Uhr lfinhrrgartrn Qllazz 9' T can be truthfully said that the members of the Kindergarten class, numbering seven, J have been conscientiously trained by their beloved instructor, Mrs. Graves, to be- come teachers that will do justice to the Normal School and to the boys and girls soon to be under their leadership. We owe a great deal to our teacher, who always enters the classroom with a Good afternoon, Girls and a Good Old Southern Smile. Many a happy moment have We spent listening to illustrations and educational stories of her wide and varied experiences. It surely is hard sometimes to act the part of a kindergartener or a first grade child, but do we regret the hours we have spent thus and the knowledge we have gained of children and their plays and games? No, not in the least. The names of Froebel, Rousseau and Pestalozzi will ever be in our minds, and their teachings will, we hope, be applied in every one of our schools, whether in the country or the city. The words Kindergarten Class do not bring to mind merely the thoughts of work, but also the thoughts of many pleasures. We shall always remember the good times enjoyed during the year both in and out of the classroom. Have any forgotten the party given as a surprise in honor of our teacher in the dining room of Normal Hall? Every member of the class was present to enjoy the bounti- ful repast which each girl helped to furnish. Just think for a moment of Miss McCann's salad, or of the ice cream. Doesn't it make your mouth Water? Surely our hearts will always recall Mrs. Graves' class with the happiest of thoughts and the fondest of memories. Alice M. Nichols Better Svpverh meek HEY tell us there is nothing new under the sun, yet English Better Speech week I is something that the nation has not had occasion to celebrate heretofore. From November second to November ninth, nineteen hundred and nineteen, the country, through its schools started a forward movement toward better speech from all its people. Here in the Normal School, we were particularly active. About a month before the cam- paign opened we were busy writing songs and making posters with such appropriate quo- tations as, Weigh your words carefully, Keep our language pure, We have room but for one language, the English language, or They also serve who speak good English. These posters were hung in conspicuous places throughout the building, so that many callers who happened in during those weeks wanted to know what they all meant, which of course was exactly the result we wished, namely, to get everybody interested in our movement. During the campaign week we had special exercises. On Monday morning in chapel Mr. Murdock gave a talk on the value of Good English, and Miss Baright told us something of the origin and history of the Better Speech Movement in the United States, and both emphasized the necessity for teachers to try to express their ideas in the best pos- sible way at all times. Tuesday morning the Seniors participated in a match to test their knowledge of pro- nouncing every day words. This went far to demonstrate to us all how sadly remiss we were, and what we must do as an outcome of this special campaign. Wednesday morning we were favored by the Juniors with a spelling match, wherein certain points in regard to spelling were brought to our attention. Thursday morning was given up to a very delightful lecture by Dr. Clare, on Value of Good English. The speaker was both practical and inspirational and in his own delivery presented an excellent illustration of clear, clean, beautiful speech. These exercises culminated in a little play, entitled The Better Speech Child, given Friday morning by some of the Senior girls. The work of this week made a very strong impression on each and every one of us, who, I know, will henceforth endeavor to help young America keep the English Language pure, clean, and beautiful. We will rally round our speech, girls, We'll rally once again, Shouting the battle cry, One Language! We will try to speak distinctly, We will try to give up slang, Shouting the battle cry, One Language! Good English forever, hurrah, girls, hurrah! Up with the right word, down with the wrong 5 While we rally round our speech, girls, We'll rally once again Shouting the battle cry, One Language! Laura M. Smiih Uhr lgvnng Svnrial N Friday evening, April 9th, a Penny Social was held in the gymnasium. This had been suggested by the Ways and Means Committee as a source of obtaining money. Small bags were made to send to all friends, and attached to these bags there Were cards which bore the following inscription: We send you here a little sack 9 Please bring it with you or send it back With as many pennies as you are old-- We promise the number will never be told. On Friday evening a social We hold When April is only nine days old. In this way a great many pennies were obtained, and on April 9th everyone assembled for a good time. There were many enjoyable games and stunts, and also ashort enter- tainment by the girls. Afterwards there was a grand march, followed by dancing. Doughnuts and hot coffee were served for refreshments, and everything was a great success from beginning to end. Laura P. Brewer Uhr Qlirrnn H! what a crowd of anxious youngsters-and, we may even say, grown ups- thronged our gym door on Friday evening, May the twenty-first! What were they there for? The world famous Darnum and Daily Circus was in town. As is customary in other large circuses, numerous side shows offered a rare treat for the early comers. In brief, these were: Reginia McLaren as Fat Lady, Janet Madison as Madame Fortuna, a noted fortune teller, the bearded lady, the acrobatsg and the wild ani- mals, but perhaps one of the greatest attractions was Jumbo, the world's largest elephant ion Week days worn as a pendant by a member of our classj. Then came the grand parade of all the circus performers when the celebrated dis- cordant jazz band, under the leadership of Winifred Wood, an apt former pupil of Sousa, escorted in Mr. Darnum, to the tune of Here's to Uncle Sammief' After several pleasing, inharmonious selections by the band, Mr. Darnum, our own Dorothy Gray, announced that it was necessary for him to act as ring master because of the absence of the deceased Mr. Dailey. In a most fluent manner, he introduced each of the entertainers. The first to appear was Gladys Montgomery as Mademoiselle Tiddle de Winks, a graceful bareback rider, mounted on a footstool. Her dexterity in that line was not to be questioned. Winifred Wood as Madame Twinkle Toe, a tight rope walker, appear- ed light of foot and easy of grace. An exhibition of the light fantastic toe was given by our solo dancer, Sara McCann. Carolyn Hyde as an Oriental acrobat went through the stick, a stunt of her Celestial country. N o less entertaining was the medium, Madame Gabski, who was Agnes Joyce, assisted by Mabel Lewis as Genevieve. Other enjoyable features were two dances. One, a gypsy dance, in which Mabel Lewis, Dawn Williams, Grace Creelan and Sara McCann demonstrated their skill, proved delightful. The other was the Seven Jumps which was put on by our clowns, who were Harriet Haskins, Janet Madison, Ethel Clayton, Margaret Miller, Alice Nichols, Arminia Deguire, and their mascot, Winslow Williams. You ask, Were there any 'eats'? There certainly were! Cracker jack, gum and candy drew a large crowd to the booths during intermission. Of no less importance was the ice cold pink lemonade, without which no real circus could run. We were convinced that our spectators had an enjoyable evening, for when our band struck up the tune We Won't Go Home Until Morning, they refused to leave. In fact, the affair proved a success in every way, and much credit is due to those who planned it. Carolyn B. Hyde Uhr Gburrall liartg F all the delightful entertainments shared by the Normal School this year, the Over- all Party, given to the students by the Faculty, was undoubtedly one of the most enjoyable. Invitations requested guests to appear in work-a-day costume at the gymnasium on the evening of April twenty-fourth. The response was highly gratifying, for among the assembly were representatives from almost every walk of life, all demonstrating their use- fulness. There were farmers and farmerettes in overalls and straw hats, chauffeurs, whose begrimed dusters attested to many long-suffering interviews with obstinate wheels and levers, milk-maids and berry-pickers, nurses and nursemaidsg agents displaying their fine stock of overalls and other work-a-day garments. Besides these, there were a number of housewives, attired in bungalow aprons and caps, carrying brooms, brushes and dusters, all ready for spring cleaning. Let us not forget to mention the Queen of the Tubs who car- ried her washboard and soap about with her, generously offering to launder perfectly any- thing from the daintiest of laces to the most substantial of goods, nor the ladies of Art and of Letters, who, by the badges of distinction which they wore, and the brushes and pens they carried, convinced us that they had already accomplished much, and were pressing onward toward greater renown. One of the most attractive features of the evening was the entrance of the Juniors, who appeared in middies and bloomers, with hair streaming, all running, skipping and jumping rope. They were, indeed, the merry, light-hearted children that we know them to be. When all had gathered, the company formed in twos, and enjoyed the Grand March, which is the ideal manner of beginning such an evening's program. As the music ceased, the striking procession drew up in groups of four, in readiness for dancing the Portland Fancy and French Reel. As many among the Faculty were unfamiliar with these dances, the students enjoyed the golden opportunity of instructing their instructors. All were apt pupils, and the Portland was indeed Fancy, and all Reeled spiritedly. Next We were delightfully entertained by Mrs. Graves' trained orchestra, in which the members of the Faculty took part. It was a most effecting sight to behold our instructors arranged in orchestra formation, with drums and tambourinesgwith triangles and cymbals 3 with pipe and horn and combs. The director explained that, owing to unusually marked musicianship and initiative among the members of her band, we must not be alarmed should an individual be suddenly carried away into flights of ecstasy with his instrument, or otherwise be in need of a restraining word, for, with but one swift, unerring, reproving glance, she could easily call him back to earth, and to play in exquisite harmony with the rest. Undoubtedly, the spirits moved that evening, for the occasional reprimands from the leader were quite amusing. Among the selections rendered were, The Anvil Chorus and We Won't Go Home Till Morning. We were next favored with a solo by Mr. Smith, in which he recalled his wooing of the fair maiden whom he beheld at her household tasks, each morning more adorable than on the preceding day. NORMALOGUE 63 This was followed by the Bean Setting folk dance, charmingly rendered by six of the teachers. A demonstration of the right and proper way of performing the household tasks for each day of the week was next given by all the teachers. They certainly outdid them- selves in this. From This is the way we wash our clothes to This is the way we go to church , they entered whole-heartedly into the fun, and, surely, a most praiseworthy example was set for us. At the conclusion of the dramatization, the Seniors were challenged to play a game of Volley Ball with the Faculty. The opponents drew up on opposite sides of the net, and a lively game followed, with many good points gained for both sides. By a very close score, the Seniors won. Next, the Juniors were invited to play a game of Double Goal with the Faculty. This proved to be the most exciting game. For some time the Juniors were in advance, but the teachers steadily gained upon them, and, in the end, won the victory. Then what should appear in our midst but a table spread with attractive goodies! It was suggested that, since the passing of the Prohibition Law, we would, doubtless, con- tent ourselves with Adam's Ale and the companions of his early days in the Garden of Eden. Thelatterappeared in the form of sheep, goats, lions, buffaloes and many others. The dessert of candies which followed this elaborate meat course was most toothsome. The last event of the evening was a game of Stationary Basketball played between Seniors and Juniors. Great skill was shown by both teams, and, by a very few points, the victory was won by the Seniors. Prizes, in the form of money, were most generously offered by the Faculty to the Seniors for their victory in the games of Volley Ball and Basket Ball, and to the Juniors for their school spirit, as exhibited by their large attendance at the party. Very unwillingly the group dispersed, as the hour was growing late, and the students, at least, felt that the Faculty were right royal entertainers.

What to do with the material to clinch the point we wished to make, Seemed a task so far above us, that at night we stayed awake. But wise instruction changed this monster to a friend both, staunch and true And now, when teaching lessons, the first thing we gladly do Is to write a plan in detail, for we know it is indeed A friend in time of trouble, and a help in time of need. May B. Harrington TOAST TO SOCIAL EVENTS Between the work and the play time, When our Normal Course draws to an end, Let us pause for a moment's reflection 'Pon good times with schoolmate and friend. Our sisters, the Seniors of '19, A right royal Welcome did give To us brave little Juniors-a reception We'1l remember as long as we live. The next was a Hallowe'en party, With black cats and goblins and ghosts, We Juniors then showed our big sisters That we, too, were capable hosts. NORMALOGUE At Christmas, a most unique party, With slams for each Senior, was held, Followed close by inspection of stockings, Where more slams our merriment swelled. Each birthday We duly remembered With fine feasts attractively spread. After Man Dance or basketball party, VVhat trial to march off to bed! Old Greylock, we scaled with great vigor, With camera and lunch-box well filled, The feast we enjoyed at its summit- And the view!-with both we were thrilled! Then, too, an excellent concert By the Glee Club, was given in May, And an equally skilful performance In the form of a Senior Class Play. With the Class Day, reception and dancing, And with their diplomas, too, The Seniors were ready to leave us, We bade them success and adieu. In September again we assembled, Our Senior career to pursue, To plan for the Junior Reception Was the very first thing to do. Oh, the witches and goblins and black cats That attacked us on Hallowe'en Eve! The Fashion Show held in the corridor Was more than one mind could conceive! A bridegroom and bride were united Amid an hilarious throng Of witnesses, pages and courtiers, Accompanied by jubilant song. Before a great fire in the dance hall Stood at Christmas, a beautiful tree, Well-laden with acceptable presents Which called forth much laughter and glee. A gay Penny Social soon followed, Affording us all a great treat, And soon, too, the Glee Club by songbirds, And Man Dance by lightest of feet. An Overall Party was given By our generous Faculty. All present in various roles Made a jolly company. NORMALOGUE The famous Darnum and Dailey Appeared in our quiet city, Attended by children and grown-ups Who enjoyed our performance so witty. Oh, the basket-ball, tennis and carums, Employing our leisurely hours! The Alumni Banquet we attended And enjoyed, 'mid downpouring showers. Oh, who can forget our Class Banquet, With toasting and stories of glee! Surely no other class at our Normal Gave a cleverer Class Play than did we. Our Class Day with mirth and with gladness We celebrated with praise. With precious diplomas presented, We completed our Normal days. Then here's to our Normal forever! And here's to her frolics and glee! Oh, for the good times We've enjoyed here, May we never cease praising to thee! Margaret Miller gli A X, f Ya! Q 7 ?

Captain Standish, of historic fame, is the leader and protector of the colony. His wife, Barbara, is a happy young matron. Aunt Resolute, a maiden lady, and the aunt of Captain Standish, has lately come to the colony in search of new sensations. These she finds in the Indian attacks, the rather wild life around the colony, and in the love affairs of Rose and Miriam. Rose, a petite and vivacious little French girl, has come to the colony to keep house for her brother, but owing to her youth and beauty, she is obliged to live with the Captain and Barbara. She falls in love with Garrett Foster, who by a turn of fortune has been thrown into the company of Weston's men who are widely known for their poor reputations. Garrett, in spite of fate being against him, proves himself worthy of trust and honor. For some misdemeanor, he is banished from the colony and during this time he sends a letter to Rose, telling her that he has heard that she is to marry John Margeson in the spring and wishing her happiness. This letter so angers Rose that just for spite she plights troth with John, who later proves himself a liar and scoundrel. In the meantime, Miriam and Philippe find that they are unable to pass through the journey of life apart so they, too, become engaged. Poor Aunt Resolute! Between her fear of wild animals, Indians, and her worries about her friends, she is nearly in despair. However, before the final lowering of the curtain each character receives his or her just reward, and we see Rose and Garrett, Miriam and Phil- ippe, the Captain and Barbara and Aunt Resolute happy and at peace while John Mar- geson is given time enough in which to repent of his sins. Harriet J. Choice II commincmzm T WLM 0112155 Glnlnrn E scanned the spectrum o'er and o'er, And read and pondered books a score, To find what colors there might bless Our future Work and happiness. To single one out from them all Was greater task than should befallg Each is a symbol of qualities fine And has its place in the great design. So, when We had with all our might Tried to discover what was right, We found that nearest to our hearts lay The colors that signify dawn of new day. Into our lives are now to come Days that we wish would never be done, Of service so royal, all hardships to span, Living that's regal,-the purple's true plan. The gold of character shall be Freed from its dross unceasinglyg And so We choose the purple and gold As colors to which We shall always hold. May B. Harrington Ahhrmz nf rlrnmv JHRIENDS: In behalf of the Class of 1920, I wish to extend to each one of you a sincere and hearty welcome to our Class Day Exercises. One of the many pleasures of this day is the privilege which we have of greeting and entertaining our friends, who have shown their interest in us in so many ways. To us, who are about to graduate, this day brings mingled feelings of joy and sad- ness-joy, because of the happiness which the festivites of this day bring, sad.ness,beca-use of the realizations which suddenly come to us. For now, we do realize, as we never did before, that we must leave all that we link with Normal School. For us, the words of the poet will always ring true- I We may build more stately mansions, But we cannot buy with gold the old associations. We must also realize that as far as actual companionship is concerned, those many and fast friendships which have been formed during the past two years must be severed, yet far be it from any one 's thoughts that any of these friendships shall be broken. Many times, I trust, those paths, which each one of us is now about to choose, will lead back to this school, where we gained new aspirations, new ambitions, and new hopes. To those who have made our course so helpful and beneficial, to those who through their interest and sympathy, were not only our teachers, but our friends, to those who have kept Eldorado constantly before us, we can now express only words of gratitude. May the opportunity soon come, however, when we all can show our real appreciation, by means of the service which we render others. Today, dear friends, you are gathered to hear what we have to say for ourselves before we launch out on the sea of life. You will hear what we have done, and if you believe what our prophet has to say, what we are going to do. I feel sure you will enjoy all that you hear today, and that with your enjoyment there will come a fuller realization of what Normal School has meant to us. Once more, then, may I express to you a cordial welcome, and an earnest desire that to you there maycome the fullest measures of enjoyment, so that this, our Class Day, may long be remembered as belonging peculiarly to the Class of 1920. Ethel V. Clayton 2-Xhhrrzn tn the Jluninra EMBERS of the Junior Class, dear Schoolmates and Friends: It is with a feeling of deep regret, intermingled with joy, that we, the members of the Class of 1920, pause to say farewell. We suddenly realize that we must leave our dear Alma Mater to enter upon a new field of life. We see before us great opportunities to help and better our nation. We feel perfectly capable of filling these places, as we possess the invaluable knowledge and high ideals which our school offers. It is our purpose to go out into the world to win the love and respect of mankind, and the consciousness of having done our duty. Tomorrow we leave you, worthy Juniors, and our paths will henceforth be separ- ated. We leave our places for you to fill, granting you are deserving the name-Seniors. The year spent with you has been one of utmost happiness and the many memories of it shall long remain in our minds. Indeed, we were very fortunate to have such a willing, helping, friendly Junior Class. How could we have succeeded without your assistance and your unappeasable appetite for Hershey's Chocolate? As is the custom, allow me to give you a few bits of advice, hoping you will fol- low them. First, to those in the Dorm : , Do not waste your study hour. In fact if you are to live up to our record in the Training School you will need a longer study period. But, in case this is not granted, extinguish your lights at 10:15. Remember it is Very unadvisable to attempt to study under a bed with a flashlight. Be loyal to your officers of the Students' Council. Be wise in the choice of them, lest you select those who will later prove to be leaders of the many pranks and midnight spreads. Now, to those not in the Dorm : Do try to get up in time to get your car, and thus appear in chapel at least oncea week. Carry out your appointments made for gym period. Remember that the road to Windsor Lake does not lead to the Empire or Richmond. lf you promise to walk towards Williamstown or Adams, do try to reach the second white post before you take the trolleys for these respective towns. And the lunch room! I beg of you to keep it clean. Call the attention of the in- coming Juniors to that terrifying warning which sometimes mysteriously appears on the board during the year. Our word to the whole class is: Be loyal, conscientious, dignified and friendly. No doubt we have made many mistakes by which it behooves you to profit. For tlie next year, put forth your greatest effort, seek tlie advice of our worthy Faculty, cooperate with them, and when your turn comes to enter upon the great school of life, you will be as grateful to them and appreciative of their efforts as we are today. Dear Juniors, from the year spent with you, we know that you have made a fine start. Keep up this good work and although you may feel the task heavy at times, bearit cheerfully and do your best:- NORMALOGUE For in the strife of the battle of life It 's easy to fight when you're Winningg It's easy to slave, and starve and be brave, When the dawn of success is beginning. But the man who can meet despair and defeat With a cheer, there's the man of God's choosing, The man who can fight to Heaven's own height Is the man who can fight when he's losing.

Let the World be the better for youg And at last when you die, let this be your cry: Carry On, my soul! Carry On! Arminia C. Degmfrc 5 Eluninr llrzpnnzv Life may be given in many ways, And loyalty to Truth be sealed As bravely in the closet as the field. SOLDIER'S lot is one of sacrifice. He sacrifices not only pleasures, luxuries, and home, but also his life, if need be. Teachers are soldiers of the school, and as teachers, in order to be of better service to others, we also must deprive ourselves of many things, In our lives each day we encounter new trials by the advancement of higher prices, not only on meager necessities, but also on the cost of education. Many girls enter into the business life, because to them the lure of money seems much greater than that of education, but so continually have the leaders of education told us the importance of our mission that, in spite of these sacrifices, we feel with you that We have chosen one of the highest and noblest vocations and are proud that to us is given the privilege of training better citizens. Seniors: It seems only as yesterday that we arrived among these hills of verdant hue, and being like in color ourselves, We determined to pattern after you, our Honorable Seniors, and thus thrived. In future years you may be sure we will always cherish your memory. During your course you have been handicapped and have lost time, owing to war con- ditions, but because of your industry, your thrift and your perseverance, today We greet you as conquerors. The world war was fought for democracy, and every organization has felt this in- fluence. It is easy to perceive that our school has been no exception, for it, too, has under- gone changes and has now become a purely democratic institution, it has grown more broad and has developed a democratic spirit until now each one is working for the other's good, as well as for his own. Presently you will leave this place and will feel sure your labors here were not in vain. May you go forth with a will to put into practice that which you have learned here, and increase your knowledge a hundred fold. Seniors, your pleasures here have been many, but now you have a greater one. At last it is your privilege to sing: Lesson plans, lesson plans, You're the only work that I abhor, When the moon shines over our school house We'll be writing lesson plans no more. Your two years' work here is completed, years of work, years of pleasure, years of joy and years of sorrow. We, who have known you for such a short time, have caught the spirit of 'Old Normal which you have so nobly instilled into us, and our message to you today is: Go, face the battles of the world with light hearts, for you can know that the class of 1921 will never let the torch which you have raised fall from their hands, but will 'carry on' what you have so nobly begun. May there be a cherished thought ever rising within you saying:- O beautiful my Normal! Among all Normals bright beyond compare! What were our lives without thee, What all our lives to save thee, We reck not what we gave thee, We will not dare to doubt thee, But ask whatever else, and we will dare! Rachel Palmer 0112155 '-Lqiaturg EPTEMBER 10, 1918, the North Adams Normal School opened wide its doors to ,, usl er in the illustrious class of 1920. Probably never again will the school welcome a group of such notable personages. ln fact, we have been asked repeatedly the reason for our entering Normal School, since every one knew that We were well qualified to enter the teaching profession directly from High School, but We had seen a vision and Merlin's Words were sounding in our ears: After it, follow it, follow the gleam. On that memorable morning, subjected to the gate of the haughty Seniors, we marched timidly up the stairs to the assembly room. There We received a most hearty welcome from our beloved Principal, Mr. Murdock, who at once told us what our program was to be, and how to reach the different class-rooms, yet if I am not greatly mistaken, several in my immediate presence, when attempting to get from the Botany room to the Literature room, were completely overcome with mortification when they were politely informed that they were occupying seats in the Mathematics room. But, with our usual alacrity, We soon learned to distinguish the different teachers and locate our various class rooms, which removed no small burden from our minds. Within a brief space of time We, as Juniors, forty-five in number, had organized ourselves into the Class of 1920, choosing Winifred 'Wood, President, Alice Nichols, Vice- President 5 Katherine Tracy, Secretaryg and Leafy Hicks, Treasurer. And then like every class, our academic, professional and social life began. Physical examinations! How our hearts beat, or else failed to beat, when We Went through the ordeal. But every one of us proved as physically fit for our profession as we lad previously proved intellectually fit. 5 Miss Searle's Geometry class Was where we served our apprenticeship for the lesson plan trade, in Which, if all reports are true, the Class of 1920 have the highest record yet achieved. in the Normal School. Under the guidance and direction of Miss Lamphier, Miss Pearson and Mr. Cum- mings, We proved our remarkable ability or disability in the handicraft Work. It Was Mr. Smith who has told us the sure Way of becoming millionairesses by in- venting individual wings, and, after the varied courses in the sciences We have received, I venture to say that some member of 1920 will be selling her first pair of patented Wings to Mr. Smith of the North Adams Normal School. Art is long, and time is fleeting, especially at Normal. The Misses Chace, Gray, Haskins and Harrington have proved our stars in artistic ability under Miss Pearson's fine and careful direction. With Mr. Eldridge We wandered afar throughout the World, and discovered what a delightful thing it is, To see the old World and travel up and down Among the famous palaces and cities of renown. 100 NORMALOGUE Under the leadership of our talented Literature teacher, Miss Baright, We caughta glimpse of What literature can do for us, and by it were inspired to become tellers of old tales. When our Junior year had passed, we bade adieu to the-shall I say-meek class of 1919, from Whom we copied many of our desired traits of character? At last, after an all too short vacation, we became Seniors. It was with becoming dignity that we took possession of the back seats in the Assembly Hall. With a member- ship of thirty five, We elected as our officers, Ethel Clayton, President, Arminia Deguire, Vice-President, Harriet Chace, Treasurer, and Alice Nichols, Secretary. As Senior mem- bers of the Glee Club, it was our privilege to choose all its ofiicers. --Laura Smith was elected leader to fill the vacancy left by Jessie Barber, the renowned leader of the Class of 1919 g Ethel Clayton became Pianist, Winifred Wood, T reasurerg Alice Nichols, Secretary 3 and Arminia Deguire, Librarian. Every one who attended the concert, given in April, will agree with me in saying that it was a grand success. Early in the fall was held the Senior-Junior Reception, which was closely followed by a novel Junior Hallowe'en Party. Several lectures have been given during the year, one of which was held in Drury Auditorium. These, with candy and frankfort sales, man dances, the Penny Social, the Circus, and the Overall Party given by the Faculty, have all added to the riches of the Class of 1920. The eighteenth of June marked the dramatic ability of the class, when, under the direction of our admired teacher, Miss Baright, the play, A Rose O' Plymouth Town, was presented. to an appreciative audience. Again the truth, The play's the thing, was demonstrated. The members of the cast were attired in accordance with the old Plymouth customs, and acted their parts as though they had been members of the little band of Pilgrims in 1620. If we may judge from this presentation, the Class of 1920 will make a name for itself in the future in the theatrical line. This being the year for the biennial reunion of the Alumni of the school, it was our fortune and great pleasure to attend the banquet given June the fifth in Normal Hall. Although it was a misfortune of the Alumni to have a dreary, dark day outside, the light and sunshine beamed from the faces of nearly three hundred who had gathered to greet old- time friends and their Alma Mater. And let us not forget our Class Banquet, held at the Richmond Hotel, June the sixteenth. A more enjoyable evening could not have been spent, than when thirty-five happy, joyous and carefree Seniors were assembled at the banquet hall where many appro- priate and clever toasts were given by members of the class. The youngest member of our class is eighteen years, the oldest-I will leave you to decide. Our combined age is 736 years. The smallest shoe worn by any member of the class is size 2 1-33 the largest-well, I am sure if you glance at the class, you will come to the conclusion that several have acquired a good understanding while attending the North Adams Normal. If you are interested to know whether we put our stored knowledge into practice, you may ask any of the Mark Hopkins Training School teachers, and we feel sure they will answer unanimously with Mrs. Couch that 1920 has made a record never before equal- led by a graduating class. NORMALOGUE 101 The activities and accomplishments thus far cited, you may say, are common to every class that graduates, but now let me mention the points in which we have excelled all previous students. Early in the autumn, under the rallying cry of One flag, one country, and one lan- guage, we joined in a better speech movement, and observed Speech Week for the first time in our Normal School. Among the most interesting features were the address so impressively delivered by Dr. Daniel H. Clare on the Value of Fine Speech , and the play, The Better Speech Child, presented on the following morning. The many slogans and posters which were seen about the halls and rooms were an incentive to everyone to watch her speech. t Among the other new and interesting events in our remarkable history, were the Friday morning Specials, consisting of delightful musical programs, both vocal and instrumentalg instructive and enjoyable talks on subjects of current interest, and stereop- ticon lectures on Sculpture and War Memorials. Can any other class boast of having been trained to such a degree, how to develop a lesson psychologically by the Project Method, or by Motivating a lesson? Surely, our training would have been incomplete without these very important methods. Now that women are about to have a voice in the government and to take their place in the public life of the nation, no better training could be secured in college or uni- versity than has been our privilege to receive in our oral composition class, where we have conducted our own meetings as any club or society would do in direct accord ance with Parlia- mentary rule, and we have become able to stand, at any time or place, and think upon our feet. This work in socialized recitation in the Normal Schools is paving the way for the greater things which women are sure to accomplish in the future. Thus we have been trained to take up our larger duties which lie before us in this great period of reconstruction. And now, it is with a feeling of sadness that we must bid farewell to the dear old Normal School, but We will never forget the good times we had as its members, and as alumnae, we will ever be reminded of what it has done for us. In closing, let me , in behalf of the Class of 1920, wish the school and its future graduates a golden age of continual prosperity. Alice M. Nichols Ihr Gilman lgrnphvrg 9' HAD just been elected class prophet, so after dinner I sat down to see what Icould do ,J in that line. After many false starts I threw down my pen in rage, ran out, jumped into my airship and started it going. I didn't know where, nor did I care, I lay down in the bottom and just let it go. I must have fallen asleep, for the. first thing I knew I was given a good shaking, and, sitting up I saw that my airship had run into a planet. I fastened my ship and started on an exploring tour. The walks were all laid out in marble, with fountains on all sides sending up water that sparkled in the sunlight. Coming in front of a stone palace, I entered and saw in front of me, seated on a throne of diamonds and precious stones, a huge man twelve feet tall, surrounding him were other people only about nine or ten feet in height. When the king saw me he asked, Who are you? and What do you want? I told him my story, and was made very happy when I discovered that he was one of those wonderful beings who possess the power of prophecy, and was able to tell what would happen to all people even on our earth. Thereupon he told me the future of each of my classmates, which I will now relate to you. Northampton, he said, will receive Laura Smith, not as an inmate of its famed institution, but as matron of an orphan asylum. By her sunny disposition and willingness to listen to the cares of childhood she will endear herself to the hearts of the many children under her protection. New Year's, 1930, will lind Elizabeth Hammond at M. A. C., taking a special course of 'sweethearts' under the close observation of Mr. Charles-. CI Wonder if he made a suggestionifb Even now we all realize how busy the members of your faculty are. Soon it will be necessary to add to their numbers. Thus Mary Collins will find herself in Normal as Miss Skeele's assistant. One of her duties will be to lecture the Juniorson such subjec-tslas 'The Road to the Richmond Leads to Destructionl Happily and peacefully, Mabel Lewis and Agnes Joyce will dwell in a tiny, White house seventy miles from nowhere Neither the charms of occupation nor matrimony will persuade either to leave the other. Such devotion is very touching. When you buy hand-tinted postcards look at the initials in the corner. More than likely they will be those of Harriet Chace. North Adams will claim Dawn Williams, not as a teacher of her schools, but asa housekeeper for Donald. Have you ever played tennis against Helen Tracy? If you have, you will not be astonished to learn that she will receive the championship tennis medal for women. Anyone who by chance may get stranded in New Ashford, will be glad to hear that your Winifred Wood will have a pleasant farm-house there to which all will be cordially invited. ' Sara McCann will become a famous model for James Montgomery Flagg, her picture appearing on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post. In a short time Evelina DeMarco will be seen standing on a soap box on Fifth Avenue, New York City, loudly proclaiming the rights of women. NORMALOGUE 103 N ot to your surprise, Margaret Miller will appear as chief demonstrator for the Victor Talking Machine Company. In a few years, after having been a source of wonder and admiration to many thou- sands of people because of her excellent 'Interpretation of Ancient Egyptian Dances', 'The Charming Laura Brewer' will appear in the Century Theatre. Elizabeth Boyle, who will give up her work in elocution and who will settle down as home-maker, will use. her well developed voice in giving curtain lectures to an audience of one. Hark! Some day as you drive through the quiet, famous village of Florida you will hear a sweet, soft alto voice, coming from the village choir. As you ascend the rickety stairway, you will behold no other person but your friend and classmate, Helen Moore. Mary Hillard will continue for many years to work out fancy dances for the bene- fit of the Boston American readers. On account of Katherine Tracy's great sleep-walking ability, the Blasco Company will engage her for the Sleep Walking Scene in Macbeth. Drusilla Miner, still quiet and shy, will conclude that teaching is too strenuous, and will take up the work of Domestic Arts in a four room bungalow in Windsor. Alone? Why, no! Arminia Deguire will wander to Central Africa, where she will do fine work teaching the natives to embroider and hemstitch. Catherine Macksey, so refined and quiet, will appear as a modern prima donna, having given up her work as an orator. Your class will have developed one renowned philanthropist, Ethel Clayton, as president of an organization known as 'Housemaids' Smiles'. Ethel will be able to hold this position because of the powerful influence of her smile. Marcella Barrett will honor the Chautauqua Circle, and will give a series of lectures on 'Who is Who'. A new book which will prove to be a splendid one on the subject of Psychology will be published by Grace Creelan. Far away on the great continent of South America, in Ecuador, you will find Doro- thy Gray carrying on a great work along the lines of Domestic Arts. Dorothy will enjoy her work, and her only regret will be that only girls desire to know how to cook. Doris Rubenstein will not remain long in the teaching profession, but will receive a position as stenographer in the Big Ben Clock Factory in Ohio. And oh! What wonders the Glee Club will work! New York will be quite enthused over the appearance of a new operatic singer, Harriet Haskins, who will make her star hit with the song, 'Dawn and the flowers unfold, Dawn in the mist and the dew, Sunbeams alight on the wold With you, with you'. If Darnum and Dailey Circus ever comes to your town, you will surely see Reginia McLaren as the renowned fat woman. Josephine Tallarico on the stage! Yes, she will be the world's popular actress as well as acrobat. Otis will offer the delights of rural school to May Harrington, thereby giving her great opportunities for practicing her theories. In this place May will erect an old maid's home--or should I say a maiden ladies' retreat? 104 NCRMALOGUE A girl with much literary ability and thoroughly skilled in the art of painting is Alice Nichols, Who will pursue this line of work in Venice. Through the efforts of Laura Charon, 'A Dictionary of 1001 Excuses For All Oc- casions' will be published, and will be bought in great numbers by the N. A. N. S. girls. Janet Madison, wife of a prominent citizen, will start a gymnastic school for girls in New York, educating them in the gentle art of breaking necks and putting limbs out of joint in the most modern and painless method. Leafy Hicks, who has been attached to the Browns for five long years through chem- ical afhnity, will soon go into partnership. Julia Plumb will acquire the position of Dean of Wellesley College, her Alma Mater. ' Carolyn Hyde will do such good Work in Chinatown that the New York civilized 'Chinks' will prefer that she devote her labors to other fields, and so will persuade her to go to the Far East. As you remember, Carolyn was the most popular 'Chink' at Normal. His voice ceased, and all was still. Iturned about, and lo, I was alone in my study, with my pen in hand. Immediately I began to write down that which he had told me. If perhaps these words of his Should not sound well in strangers' ears, They have only to bethink them It may happen so with theirs, For so long as words reveal some story Which the prophet makes his own, They will be most highly valued Where they're best and longest known. Gladys B. Montgomery Carolyn B. Hyde if 152' A A lgrnphrrg nn Hrnphvt HILE traveling through the Orient one day, I chanced to spy a curious looking shop. Entering, I was greeted by a little Japanese maiden, bowing low. Every- thing was weird and fantastic, and I wondered where Iwasg but, before Icould ask, she spoke: Gaze into my mystic crystal and satisfy your mind. I stared at her, for how did she know that for days I had been thinking about a Normal classmate of mine? Upon further thought I decided to follow her desire, and was escorted into a still, gloom- enshrouded room. There, before me, in that crystal I was to see what I longed for. A city, alive with human beings and vehicles, superb with buildings, appeared, and on the main street walked a most notable looking person. Everyone turned to look at and admireiher, and as she came nearer and nearer I jumped and heard the words, You know her? Yes, I whispered. Here she turned and entered a beautifully modelled, white stone building. I strained my eyes to see the sign over the door. It was City Hall. I was get- ting restless, but the voice again said. She will presently appear, as she is resigning as an Alderman of the great city of Pownal. . But what Will she do now? I asked. The reply was: She intends to join the ranks of the 'Masons,' but hush! here she comes. I was too excited to wait, my dreams and thoughts had come true, and Gladys Montgomery had once more come into her own. So, I journeyed on, wishing her good luck and happiness. Janet D. Madison q , Qllami ill 9' , Harriet Elizabeth Haskins, in the name of the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty 'J of the North Adams Normal School, located in this, the city of North Adams, the county of Berkshire and the state of Massachusetts, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, but calling to mind the uncertainty of life and the surety of death, and being desirous to dispose of our entire worldly estate, while I have strength and capacity, do make, publish, and declare this our last will and testament.

Reluctantly and regretfully we look back- ward upon our happy, vanished girlhood days, yet hopefully and joyously we turn our eyes forward to the broader and more golden opportunities that lie ahead, and before we go, as a token of our love and loyaltly to our dear Alma Mater, we stay to plant this ivy. Like the life of this little vine, our work in our chosen paths of life is only commenced, and with joy in the prophecy of valuable service to be accomplished, we would greatly begin for well we know: If thou hast time but for a line, Be that sublimeg Not failure, but low aim is crime. As this tender ivy climbs the beautiful wall, it will branch out into many and varied directions. In a similar way, We, the members of 1920, as we go forward in our paths to success, will undertake many different kinds of work, and our lives in the future may be widely severed. As we leave our companions and go our different ways to serve and inHuence others perhaps some of us may forget and others will not forget the happy incidents of the past two years. Nevertheless we all regret to leave, and one of the things which I am sure we will all recall with pleasure is this memorable day and the planting of the ivy. In choosing a place for this little plant to grow we have tried to select one where there will always be plenty of sunshine. Of course it would be impossible to put it where there would be no shade during the entire day. So in our own lives we hope there will be plenty of sunshine and when the shades of discouragement and doubt do fall upon us, may we all follow the example of the ivy as it clings to its walls, and hold tenaciously and steadfastly to our ideals, and let us remember always that behind the clouds there is a sun still shining. So, as with faith and courage we turn from our dear Alma Mater- The love that our hearts would speak We will fold in the ivy so fair, That the lips of the plant more pure and meek May send it to her, with care. Laura P. Brewer JN Jing 151119111 the days when myriads of Wakening flowers Spring forth from the earth they love, The ivy sends forth its shoots of green, Seeking the light above. And the sun looks down on the brave little vine That is struggling day by day, He has shown it a goal in a loftier height, And beckons it up-away. Let us weave a ladder of life's ideals, Striving ever to do the right, Let our tendrils cling fast to the Walls of Truth, Though our goal is not in sight. We are pausing, dear Normal, to leave with thee Such love as thy children may 5 O thou, who hast given us visions of hope, Thou callest us up-away. Agnes E. Joyce EXIT ?
