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

22 NORMALOGUE MARCELLA G. 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.

24 NORMALOGUE LAURA F. CHARON, Adams, Mass. She doeth little kindnesses Which most leave undone or despise, For naught that gives happiness and peace Is low esteemed in her eyes. qi' AURA is another one of that select group who f-L call themselves outside girls . 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.
