NORMALOGUE Mtn, Eliza Graeme Grants 'HOW we missed those good old Southern songs and stories when we came back as Seniors in September, 1920. Where was Mrs. Graves, the teller of these tales? Much to our sorrow we were informed that it would be many weeks before she would again be with us, for she had fallen and broken her arm. It was the last of October before her cheerful whistle was heard in the cor- ridors of Taconic Hall and the girls had a chance to sit at her table again. . Mrs. Graves was graduated from the Free Kindergarten Association of Louisville, Kentucky, and also lteld the ofiice of Principal in that same city. She was also training teacher and supervisor of two kindergartens in the State Normal School at Willimantic, Connecticut. Since 1904 she has been principal of the Kindergarten in our training school and training teacher in the Kinder- garten Primary at Normal. Mrs. Graves is leaving us this year and wherever she goes, the class of 1921 extends to her their best wishes. illliss Elma E. liiarrrll A blissful certainty, a vision bright Of that rare happiness, which even on earth Heaven gives to those it loves. S JUNIORS we found ourselves eagerly looking forward to our classes with Miss Varrell. We tried hard to do our best for it was a pleasure to work with one so full of animation. It was with deep dis- appointment, on our part, that we saw her leave after our first year. Altho not a member of our faculty during our entire course, she will not be forgotten and we give her our sincerest wishes for success in whatever she may undertake.

NORMALOGUE n is Minn Anna 31. iliamphin' It may not be possible to be supreme in more than one art, but the arts illustrate each other, and a knowledge of other arts and their capacities is sure to react upon an artist's practice in the one which most absorbs him. N OUR Junior year we all had an opportunity to be- come acquainted with Miss Lamphier in the Handi- .U craft Department. Many were the times it was Miss Lamphier's keen eye that ,detected we should be commended for our good work or our mistake. Here in such work as basketry and caning chair seats, she impressed upon us the necessity of carefulness and exactness. Now, at the end of our Normal course, we will admit that to be so painstaking was all very much worth while. The girls cannot appreciate Miss Lamphier's helpful suggestions and the art she taught to the fullest extent. The Class of 1921 wish Miss Lamphier the most pros- perous future! fllllr. Zllhnmnn EE. Olumminga To him, whose happy smile has always won The good Wishes of the class of 1921. HEN We entered N. A. N. S. in the fall of 1919 We met down stairs in the handicraft room the man of the happy smiles, Mr. Thomas F. Cummings. How many times have we dragged our weary bodies up from training school or out of arithmetic, language or sanitation down to the wood-work room where soon our weariness left us and in its place came ambition inspired by our teacher's helpfulness and cheerfulness! During our junior year we liked Monday and Wed- nesday afternoon best. Why? you ask. Because it was on these afternoons that we had wood-work with Mr. Cummings. Ask a Junior today how she likes Mr. Cummings and the answer sure to be given is, Isn't he just grand? To Mr. Cummings can justly be applied the following lines, And that smile like sunshine darts, Into many sunless hearts.

NORMALOGUE - '15 Minn Align To know, to esteem, to love. ISS Allyn, a graduate of the Holyoke High School, came to us during our Senior year to take charge of the Department of Correspondence Courses. A truer friend you will find nowhere for in one short year she has won a place forever in all our hearts. She is always ready for fun and greets you with a smile whenever she meets you. How could we have gotten along without her cheerful- ness? Surely the class of 1921 owes a great deal to Miss . Allyn to whom we ext-end our best wishes. Minn Elnira M. Erahrn Full of the deepest, purest thought, Doing the very things she ought, Busy in all good deeds. ' ERE is Miss Braden whom we all hold so dear in our F g hearts. During our Junior year Miss Braden was with us working as Assistant in the Extension De- partment but more than this she was an assistant to everyone in need of advice and encouragement. She was Well qualified for this position but always looking for- ward to great things, she left us and went to the Na- tional Y. W. C.A. school in New York to fit herself for organizing Y. W. C. A. centers in China. Having com- pleted her course Miss Braden expects to start for the interior of China about the middle of August. We are very proud that we have one more from our school family to go out and do the work so many of us have not the courage to undertake. May success be with her in this great work in which she will soon engage her- self, thus proving the truth of these words of the poet: True worth is in being, not seeming In doing each day that goes by, Some little good-not in dreaming Of great things to do by and by.
