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.

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.

30 NORMALOGUE l CAROLYN B. HYDE, Pittsfield, Mass. A violet in her lovely hair, A rose upon her bosom fair! But O, her eyes A lovelier violet disclose, And her ripe lips the sweetest rose That's 'neath the skies. can look on the bright side of life she can Infact the only thing that makes her frown is her many rural assignments. Surely there is not one girl in the class who has been more studious and ambitious than Carolyn. Her lessons are always prepared, and We feel sure that she will be able to impart her knowledge. But this is not all, for outside of school, she is a fine sport and is always willing to take part 'JHERES to Carolyn, the girl with the smile! If anyone in our pranks. i May good luck go with you, Carolyn and may all your efforts be crowned with success. .1 AGNES E. JOYCE, Pittsfield, Mass. Blessings on thee, Agnes Joyce, Laughing girl with merry voice! Live and laugh as girlhood can! Member of our jolly clan. LL Taconic Hall can bear testimony to Agnes' merrily whistled tunes at six-thirty in the morning. They simply cannot be repressed, but bubble over in fun and good comradeship. She is a very quiet girl at times and decidedly bashful, but strange to say, the queerest of stunts are sometimes laid at her door, which accusations she always encounters with the greatest surprise and innocence. Agnes is a great leader in athletics, and was soon elected as one of the captains in Gym, We are told that dumb animals have a way of know- ing one's character, and perhaps this is why one and all seek Agnes whenever she ventures among them, or per- chance it is that:- Her music hath the power to soothe Each wild and restless heart, And all unknowing, captivate ' Its owner from the start.
