14 THE AXIS -ug ,F -.f,,, l manner. One of Eileen's work, in which she excels. EILEEN SHEEHAN Adams, Mass. Ra1lz1'r a qllict young lady is shi' ll'ith the grntlcst of manrzvrs you cvcr did src. Eileen is a very conscientious girl, ever on the alert to do whatever she is asked to do. She is very sweet-tempered and industrious, too, and her success is fully assured for superintendents are well dis- posed toward her on account of her quiet, self-possessed strongest points is her hand ' We all wish her the best of luck. 1 HELEN SHELDON Mill River, Mass. For shc is just the qnicl kind Wlzosc naturr never vlri 's, Like streams that keep thc summer mind Snow-hid in January. Helen hails from the big city of Mill River. Although quiet, she does her work cheer- fully, and no matter how heavy at all times This little the task, she is ready to smile. girl has proved a true friend to all who know her. Our good wishes go with her wherever she chances to stray. CLARA M. THURBER West Brattleboro, Vt. And I lcarncd of women from her. Clara hails from Vermont and she is always ready to sing the praises of that state. She is known to us for her class spirit, willingness and ambitions One of Clara's strongest char- acteristics is her determina- tion. When this Green Moun- tain girl first joined us, it seemed as if she would be a missionary, but today we know that she will beafirst-rate teacher. Wherever she goes may success attend her! ,, LORETTA M. TOBIN Norwich, Conn. Tobie is the nickname by which she is known to us all. She is the proud possessor of a bewitching voice which rings out in clear, loud tones in the gym. To gaze upon her countenance, one would think . her to be quite shy, however, the opinion is immediately altered as soon as one becomes M acquainted with this Connect- l icut lass. For her untiring efforts and skill in doing her share for the class we must certainly give her credit and As sure as the sun sinks to rest, We all agree that we love Tobie best. .G if - -. ELEANOR R. WHALEN Hatfield, Mass. The mildzst manners and the gentlcst heart. A very quiet and dignified young lady, is the verdict of those who meet Nell Whalen but those who know her best will always remember the shoulders which sometimes refused to keep dignified when there was a good joke in the air. Nell has a sweetdis- position, and is a good mixer. OLIVE LEWIS East Longmeadow, Mass. Thou hast wit and fun and fire. Olive, bubbling over with enthusiasm, and always busy at something, could usually be found after school or over the week-ends, either in her room with needle in hand, or down in the manual training room with hammer and saw, or clambering over the hills in search of insects, flowers and birds,- For to her the world was fair. Judging from the creditable way Olive always carried through anything in which she was engaged here, we do not fear for her success in any work which she may under- take in the future. WYONA SPARROW North Adams, Mass. A young Sparrow in North Adams grew And the Normalfcd it with all plans new, And it opened its little mind to the light Found in method and lesson plans bright. Our success in athletics has been aided by Wyona's sure and steady aim, particularly in basket-ball. Among the quiet, studious members we find Wyona, who used her artistic ability to decorate the covers of her books and songs used in the Glee Club of which she was a member. We all wish you success, Wyona.

Pleasure, that we may try to show you a little appreciation of all that you have given and done for usg with regret, that this is our last time together. We have enjoyed our two years at North Adams Normal and probably can never realize the great amount of good we have derived from being under the guidance of so help- ful a faculty, and in our wonderful Alma Mater of the Berkshires. Since we have been in this school we have learned to think in a more broad-minded way. We have lost some Of our-shall I say old fashioned?-ideas, and we are look- ing upon life in a way which shows it to be bigger, and greater than we had realized before. We have discovered that: New occasions teach new duties Time makes ancient good uncouth. They must upward still, and onward, Who would keep abreast of Truth' Lo, before us gleam her camp-fires! We ourselves must Pilgrims be, Launch our Mayflower, and steer boldly Thru' the desperate winter sea, Nor attempt the Future's portal with The Past's blood-rusted key. v We who are going out as teachers of the men and women of to-morrow must be able to recognize these new occasions and be prepared to meet them adequately. For, as Her- man Hagedan says, It must be your business in these years to raise this new standard before the eyes of your fellow-citizensg your aim to give them a new ideal of what constitutes success. As we all know, the twenty-fifth anniversary of this school was celebrated a short time ago. When we look upon the Normal and all for which it stands, we cannot help thinking of the man whose wonderful ideals have been so inculcated here, that man, who has for twenty-live years given to so many all over the country, his words of encouragement, his kindly advice and his inspiration. I wish I could say a few words which would express in some degree the value ofthe work which hehas accomplished in carrying on this school for twenty-five years. We, the class of twenty-two, fully realize the good fortune that came to us in being permitted at least a year of his guidance. In that short time a great many of his high ideals have been so impressed upon us that we shall never forget them. On the other hand, we are extremely grateful for having had such a man as our present Principal to carry us safely thru the remainder of our course. We are all sure that there never was a man like him, and never anyone who could have helped such a weighty class thru so nearly successful a year. QI dare not claim complete success for us yet.J Now that we have come to the end of our course the parting of the ways as it were, we are beginning to realize how much Mr. Smith has done for us in the way of broaden- ing our ideals and making our vision clearer. To him we extend our greatest thanks and appreciation. This twenty-fifth year means a great deal to the North Adams Normal School. It may never be known how much it has accomplished since the time it was started, but we know that it has done a very great work and it can never be lost. The school now starts out on a new era, leaving behind some of the old ideas and taking up the new, but we must not forget, my friends, that the principles which this school has preserved, and the promise which it has received, places upon us, the ones going out into the world the gravest responsibility. Life may be given in many ways, And loyalty to Truth be sealed As bravely in the closet as the field, So bountiful is Fate. In closing, I wish to say again that the class of twenty-two welcomes you most heartily and hopes that you will enjoy the program which has been prepared for you. Dorothy Reynolds
