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 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.

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.
