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.

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!

EH' OR five years Mrs. Van Etten has been our matron. 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. Erahrn Of all the names to memory dear, There is not any other That has so dear, and sweet a sound As the precious name, Miss Braden. HAT would our Normal School do without her? 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? Then in our heart's most sacred place We'll love her as no otherg For in all this World we'll never find So true a friend as she.
