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.

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.

NORMALOGU LEAFY M. HICKS, North Adams, Mass. Always busy and always ready. q 'EAFY is the girl from the wilds of Florida. A-L For two years she has trodden that lonely but famous trail which bears the name Mohawk No matter what season or weather, she is seen entering Normal promptly at 8.45 A. M. If a suggestion is wanted, she is ever ready to give it. Leafy believes that there is no friend like a good book, for if in search of her, one is always sure to find her in the library reading. With her it is always a case of work before pleasure. Leafy has taken up the Household Arts Course but we suspect that N. A. N. S. is but a stepping stone in her path to some other vocation which she has in mind, and that another kind of school may claim her soon. Altho quiet and demure, Leafyis one of our dependable, earnest and industrious girls, and to her we extend our best wishes for a successful teaching career. MARY C. HILLARD, North Adams, Mass. Pretty to walk with, Witty to talk with. HENEVER we see our Mary approaching, we know something is about to happen. Mary is one of our most popular girls and also one of the many U9 sports of 1920. Basketball, dancing, shows, all hold attraction for her. As she is always ready for a good time, we need not be surprised to find her teaching in New York soon. Mary is not only popular, she is also a scholar of ability, as all will testify. During her stay at Normal she has also been a very faithful and reliable member of our Glee Club. Of late, however, she has directed her attention to the northwest. Why? Ask 'Mac'. Our heartiest wish is that she shall have great happiness.
