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.

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.

28 NORMALOGUE MAY B. HARRINGTON, Otis, Mass. Somebody said that it couldn't be done, But she, with a chuckle, replied That maybe it couldn't, but she would be one Who wouldn't say so till she'd tried. So she buckled right in with a bit of a grin On her face. If she worried, she hid it, She started to sing as she tackled the thing That couldn't be done-and she did it. Someone remarked: Oh, you'll never do that, At least, few ever have done it, But she went straight to work without loss of time And the first thing we knew she'd begun it, With a lift of her chin and a bit of a grin, Without any doubting or quibbit, She started to sing as she started the thing That couldn't be done-and she did it. T ,,., ,Lll.t.lT. HARRIET E. HASKINS, Cglkilliagstown, Mass. Whatever the weather may be, I say, Whatever the weather may be, It's the songs she sings, and the smile she Wears That's a-makin' the sun shine everywheresf' -James Whzftcomb Riley HO does not love this talented student named Harriet Haskins? Could you imagine a young lady who has lived many a happy year in the atmos- phere of the college town of Williamstown being any other than a talented student? Indeed, her scholarship is very commendable. Can you imagine her getting papers marked See me? Her pleasing personality has won for her the highest respect of every member of her class. She has been an important member of the Glee Club and has always taken a generous part in the musical activities of the school, being one of the few soloists who have entertained us in Chapel. Athletics? Why she is always in just the place her opponents desire her not to be. Among her many other achievements, we must not forget her hearty cooperation with her classmates. Ever willing to serve in any way that seems most needed, her spirit is highly appreciated by us all. Surely Harriet will prove herself as capable a teacher as she has proved herself a beloved student and class- mate.
