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.

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.

oRMALoGUE Mira. Gllyrrza Han ilitim But if the while I think On thee, dear friend, All losses are restored, And sorrows end. -W. Shakespeare MAJESTIC peace still lingers in our memory of the happy and useful years which we spent under Mrs. Van's careful guidance. Whenever the clouds darken the sunshine in our later lives, our thoughts will turn to her, who instilled in our hearts the hope of better things to be won. She possesses the gift of being able to extend sympathy and understanding to those about her. Mrs. Van Etten graduated from the Oneonta High and Normal Schools, Oneonta Business School and Boston School of Domestic Science and has been our matron, friend and guide, at Taconic Hall. We, the class of 1921 have indeed been fortunate in having such a personality to direct us during our life at our Alma Mater. frllina Efhrrvaa H. Iliergwann True worth is in being, not seeming, In doing each day that goes by, Some little good. I HIS is the feeling everyone has for our good-natured obliging friend, who signs the blue and yellow ab- sence and tardy blanks. She possesses an abundance of human kindness and good nature and always wears a smile. We will ever remember when we leave N. A. N. S. how Miss Ferguson went out of her way to do the nice little things for each and everyone of us, how she doled out the months' salaries to the dormitory girls, and how she never scolded when we intruded on her privacy, in her office. Good luck to Miss Ferguson is the wish of this yezir's class.
