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.

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.

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!
