16 NORMALOGUE illllra. Uherza Han Ettm She looketh well to the ways of her house- hold, and eateth not the bread of idlenessf' Her 'children' arise up and call her blessed. 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.

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.

NORMALGGUE 17 Jillian Glrrrna lil. ilivrguunn NLY a short time after entering N. A. N. 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 , , .
