ORMALQGUE ARMINIA C. DEGUIRE, Adams, Mass. Here's to Meanie, so sweet and petite, With manners so winning and ways so neat. RMINIA, one of our members from the Mother Town, has enjoyed great popularity. Her most winning disposition and kindness has won the love of all her classmates. They proved their admiration of her and her talents by electing her vice-president of the class, member and librarian of the Glee Club, and finally, editor-in-chief of this book, an honor not to be spoken of lightly. Indeed, Normal School has helped her to develop the many gifts which she possesses, for we now find that she has won an enviable reputation in the training school where we find her a central figure among teachers and pupils. In scholarship she is unsurpassed and for her all subjects seem easy. Whenever she gets up to recite, And still we gaze and still our wonder grows, That one small head can carry all she knows. Work, however, never interferes with her pleasure, for she is always ready to take part in any game or sport. Could anyone ever be more faithful to her school duties and show as much class spirit as Arminia has? Few there are like her, few like her we possess. No doubt she will be a decided success as a teacher, and the best wishes of 1920 go with her. EVELINA DE MARCO, North Adams, Mass. 'TIS easy enough to be pleasant, When life fiows along like a song, But the girl worth while is the one who will smile, When everything goes dead wrong. V. is one of the lively group that forms the greater 'I part of the class. Each morning without fail she comes to us at 8.30 o'clock to brighten and cheer the atmosphere of the Assembly Hall. She has always been a true and faithful student. Can- ing chairs and making memorandum pads were her specialty i?b. Friday afternoon usually found her in a most lively and happy mood. Evelina was obliged to take a trip to the North Adams Hospital during the summer, but she joined us as a Senior just as healthy and jolly as ever. How she man- aged it we are still wondering. Q Her sunny, genial disposition has won for her an un- precedented affection in the hearts of her classmates, and the friendship of the girls of 1920 will follow wherever the path of fortune may lead her.

NORMALOGU E 25 MARY F. COLLINS, North Adams, Mass. God put us all upon this earth, That we might serve His ends, And then-to give the world some worth, He made some of us-friends. O one at N. A. N. S. is a truer friend to her class- mates than Our Mary . She is always ready with a kind word and cheery smile when the whole world seems blue. One of her valuable assets is a keen sense of humor, and no matter how down-hearted she may feel, she is always so pleasant that When out of luck, see Mary has become a well known expression among her class-mates. Though Mary is very fond of school life, it has been a source of wonder to us that she has been so fond of Gym C Jim j during her stay here. We also wonder why she was so interested in the history of Dan Cupid's picture. 'Tis also said that Mary is learning to drive a car- of the Buick variety. She likes candy, especially when combined with lunch-room dinners a La Carte. We wish you luck, Mary, and may you be as well- loved by your pupils next year as you are by your class- mates at N. A. N. S. A UJJL0,-ff IJ GRACE M. CREELAN, Pittsfield, Mass. Grace is jolly, Grace is gay, She studies hard from day to day. Here is a girl we shall never forget, If she has an equal we've not seen her yet. Many a time in this old school of ours, We've sat enraptured for solid hours. RACE is indeed a bright spot at N. A. N. S. No matter where she is or how she feels, she is always ready to give one a happy smile and a word of cheer. Like all good sports there is nothing that daunts her, and at a word's notice she will drop all work and climb Florida Mountain or go skating or skiing. Ask Grace sometime what three toots of a Ford horn or three fiashes of a flashlight mean. Many times during our Junior year when we sat in assembly and heard that violin of hers speak, it cer- tainly made the Seniors sit up and take notice. We all know that Grace, whose nicknames are Babe, Kid, Speed and Sunshine, and whose favorite saying is, Oh, my dear! will be dearly loved as a teacher. Here's hoping that best of luck for her in the coming years.

NORMALOGUF DOROTHY GRAY, Ashfield, Mass. To class she always goes prepared, To cut would be a crime, To joke and fool her noons away, For that she has no time. 'EOROTHY is another of our big city folks, hailing from Ashfield. However, the fact that she comes from a tiny place, does not detract from her great store of knowledge. For who can excel Dorothy in History? Who knows more about bird life? Who is our bright star in Literature? What, girls? Can't you do your Geography? Let's go to Dorothy. She'll tell us how. Dorothy is very fond of reading. Historical novels must be her favorite books, or how else would she be able to picture so vividly the historical facts which some of us have long since forgotten, or perhaps never heard of at all? Aside from books, Dorothy likes crocheting, for to her nothing is worse than idling. If she is as helpful to her pupils as she has been to her classmates, Dorothy will surely make a success of teach- ing. But her ambitions range high, for Dorothy ex- pects, after a year or two, to specialize in some subject. Whatever she undertakes, the best wishes of the Class of '20 go with her. ELIZABETH M. HAMMOND, Pittsfield, Mass. Quiet and well-conducted, but always ready for fun. EERE we have Betty , an all-round girl! Yes in- deed, Betty can do almost anything,- from being a charming hostess to running a Chevrolet . In the latter capacity she is especially proficient. So, many of the girls, and-Cwell, never mindl will tell you. Added to her many other accomplishments, Betty is something of a story writer. Ask any of the Kinder- gartenersf' Indeed, girls, we may expect to hear of Miss Elizabeth Hammond as being one of the foremost modern writers of stories for children. Betty has an unusual liking for the navy, and for everything that pertains to naval life. Have we not all noticed how becoming her middy blouses are? We all agree that the teaching profession will welcome Betty next year. The best wishes of the Class of 1920 go with her in her future life-work.
