YT' 22 NORMALOGUE ALICE V. COLLINS, South Lee, Mass. Beauty gives The features perfectness, and to the form It's delicate proportions, yet One glance of intellect Like stronger magic, will outshine it all. E thought Alice was very quiet and demure when she first came to the Normal School, but we changed our minds before we knew her very long. She is very, oh, so very fond of studying that she may be found at eleven o'clock at night bent over her books, blissfully unconscious of the passing hours. Alice hales from South Lee and graduated from Lee High School before she appeared at Normal. When she goes into the wide, Wide world as instructor of youth, we hope that she will teach in a place where there will be larks in CLarkinb the morning to spur her on to her - B I future tasks. MILDRED A. CONNORS, Adams, Mass. And welcome wheresoe'er she went A calm and graceful, element. SUCH is Mildred, one of our Adams girls. Both at Normal and training school she has been very successful. Because of her ability she has been called upon to sub- stitute, both here and in Stockbridge. In playing stationary basketball she has also shown much skill in the two point circle. Because of these accomplishments We are expecting great things of you, Mildred.

NORMALOGUE 1 21 'i GRACE R. BARBER, Williamstown, Mass. EIN 1902, during an age otherwise peaceful and be- nignant, it was rumored that some very unusual event has taken place in the Village Beautiful. Upon reading the newspapers we were enlightened that Grace R. Barber had been started on her earthly career. After a time, bya great effort, people succeeded in passing the crisis safely, not quite recovering however, for wasn't the world responsible for this little prairie flower? However, all thru her two years' course at Normal, Barb has proved herself capable of dispelling this cause of alarm, and responsibility, by proving herself a very independent young lady. She expresses her feelings and contributes suggestions with the utmost sincerity and cannot be counted aimong those who follow the crowd in this matter. Everyone realizes Barb's high rank in both scholar- ' ship and social affairs. She has been known to enter a class without even preparing her lesson and during class, rise and make an excellent recitation. Any how many times have we heard girls remark, My, but you 'toddle' justlikeafellow down home, give me the next dance. Also this classmate of ours is a member of the Glee Club. This affords good practice for her as we know she will continue to sing her way thru life and with her good-nature and love of fun conquer every task she undertakes. Oh! yes, girls, she took the Domestic Science course. Use your imagination to answer why. ,lil--... MABEL GRACE CHQITTIM, Easthampton, Mass. She is a maid of artless grace, Gentle in form and fair of face. ABEL is one of the few girls whose contagious laugh, ready wit, and willingness to help others, have made her popular with the girls and the faculty. She has Worked hard for the class by serving on many committees, and by eating innumerable chocolate bars and lolly-pops. We know it was her desire to help the class that urged her to buy so much candy! In athletics Mabel has showed her skill, for she is right there when it comes to shooting a basket or inter- preting the various exercises in our gym notes. She has always been a favorite at our social times, particularly our man dances, and never has had any trouble in enticing one of the opposite sex to venture Within our halls. Of course, Mabel will be true to her Alma Mater and Will teach for a year at least, but after that-maybe we had better wait and see.

, - NORMALOGUE 23 2 , 2 .Qi FLORENCE K. CONNORS, Adams, Mass. 'Tis Fawnie that girl with the eyes so blue With the dusky hair, and the smile so true 3 Always a friend, when a friend we need, Always ready to help, in word or deed. ZBEFORE Florence had been in our school very many weeks, she had walked right into the hearts of her schoolmates. Those of us who knew her best, we outside girls, often thought of her as our peacemaker. Whenever a dispute arose, over anything from kittens to Bolsheviki, Florence was right there, not simply on the winning side, but as the pacifler of the furiously contending forces. Florence was always more than ready for a good time too, and whether it was only a movie show, or some- thing far more exciting, she never failed to be on hand. The class of '21, dorm girls land outside girls alike, unite in wishing Fawnie a successful and happy future. GRACE E. CORCORAN, Glendale, Mass. Perform your duties with pure intention, Do what is right because it is right, If you are conscientious, you cannot But have some character. ANY and varied were Grace's duties and the prob- lems which she had to solve. There was no place for shirking in her life. She did what was right and did it well. As our House President, she was true and faith- ful to all. Grace was also our Glee Club leader and the Treasurer of our class. But though these were positions requiring much care, thoughtfulness and attention, she was not one to be downhearted or discouraged with bur- dens. At any time, may I say, could her merry laughter be heard ringing through our halls and for the rest of us not to join in her happy mood, would be inconceivable. . May she always be as successful and happy in her fut- ure tasks, is the desire and wish of us all.
