NORMALOGUE 0 Mrs. Ennna IB. Qlnurh To think with head, to work with hand, To love with heart that's true, Are all that God and man demand,- Are all that one can do. rs. Couch has been head of our training department at Mark Hopkins since our schoolwas established in 1987, and has instructed us in several subjects. lfa vote were taken among the girls she would be decided upon as being one of the most loved, cherished, and capable teachers of all times. It is absolutely unnecessary to try and relate in words our appreciation for this dear lady, who has done so much for us individually and collectively. She always had encouraging words for us, and her motherly sweet nature has changed many of our troubles to joy. Every girl holds a vivid recollection of her quotation accompanied with a smile, Girls, don't worry about that, I'll see that it comes out all right. Needless to say she always did. Our hopes will be realized if Mrs. Couch cherishes the fond, rare, memories of our class, that we do of her. illr. ling E. Smith R. SMITH is a native of Norwich, New York, where he received his early education. In 1904, he was graduated from Syracuse University, after which he taught, first as vice-principal, and later as principal, at Freeport, N. Y. He has also done graduate work in Teachers College, Columbia University, specializing in Philosophy, History and Education. At N. A. N. S. We have had the good fortune to be under his instruction in History, Economics, Zoology, Botany and Psychology. Mr. Smith's classes were always most interesting, profit- able and enjoyable. During our two years under his instruction he has given us many good hints on taking trips to Mars in our individual flying machines, and on getting rich quick. We appreciate Mr. Smith very much, and in view of this fact, we shall pay him his favorite compliment. He is human.

NORMALOGUE I '11 illilr. Albert QE. Elhrihge Thanks, thanks to thee, my worthy friend, For the lesson thou has taught. Thus at the fiaming forge of life Our fortunes must be wrought, Thus on its sounding anvil shaped Each burning deed and thought. HAT words could better express our feeling to Mr. Eldridge who has given us so many helpful and excellent suggestions during the year and a half which we spent in his classes? He has always found some special feature in our recitations to commend, even though we knew our work was guess work. So now, Mr. Eldridge, the class of 1921, in departing from your ranks, express to you their heartfelt thanks and appreciation for the many kindnesses shown them by you, and wish you suc- cess in the years to come. illllizm illllarg Enuizr Earight To every one there cometh a way And a way, and a way, The high soul takes the high way The low soul takes the low way. HEN the Way came, our loving friend and teacher, Miss Baright, took the high way. She was born in Poughkeepsie, New York where she attended the public schools, but not satisfied with this she went to Boston University, Curry's School of Ex- pression and Chicago University. When she began her career as a teacher, the little country school was her starting point. In a short time, however, wider paths opened to her and she taught in a private school in Nashville, Tennessee, the State Nor- mal School in Westchester, Pennsylvania, the State Normal School in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and then, in 1902, she came to the English Department of our own Normal School. It is to Miss Baright's careful supervision and helpful instruction that we owe the success of our class-play for which we here Wish to thank her. She is very much in love with her work, and through her delightful story-telling and interpretative readings, she has awakened in us all a real appreciation of the best in literature.
