MR. Rox' LEON SMITH Normal School. What memories we have of our Alma Mater, but what would our school be without Mr. Smith? Nothing! Why do we admire him? Oh, because of his won- derful human touch, hislove of nature, hisinfectious humor, his patriotism and teaching ability. We know that we have a true friend in Mr. Smith and we will do our best to live up to his ideals for us. Mr. Smith we wish you every success in life. I . MR. FRANK F. MURDOCK Let me live in my house by the side of the road, And be afriend to man. The principal of North Adams Normal School for twenty- four years. What a record! What manner of man is he? He is our friend, always, a dreamer of dreams, a thinker who is ahead of his time, a firm believer of the brother- hood of man, and a man of action. This is our Mr. Murdock of whom we are justly proud and the man to whom we wish all success and happiness. Eebication WE have had the privilege of being piloted through our two years of Normal by two trnly great rnen. Their rnany arts of kindness and their sympathy for as have helped as to have more confidence in ourselves. They have ever tried to set before as the highest ideals and although we sometimes have fallen down and felt that 'we rozzld not go on these two rnen have held out their helping hands and given as fresh courage to start ll71f?'ZU. lVe shall endeavor to live up to the ideals which they lzave given as and if they ever do have reason to be proud of its it will be because of their efforts in our behalf. In loving appreriation of their friendship and interest the class of 1922 fondly dedicates this paper 5 'L UANO' nn. V1 ..- to illr. Roy Leon Smith and tllr.

6 THE AXIS Miss MARY L. BARIGHT I lzazfz' Ifiborcd, .-ind will: no Iifllz' sfudy, Hur! my1f'f1f'hiny And llzc sfrorzg course Qi' my fmflzoriiy ,iliglfl go one way. The one way in which Miss Baright has led our class has always been the very best. Did we ever have anything worth-while along the dramatic line but that its success could be traced to Miss Baright? How well we remember those last periods before vaca- tions when we were tired and anxious for train time to come, she would take a book, read us some poems or stories in such an extremely interesting as well as dramatic manner, that the hour would speed along as though it had Wings. The class of '22 has enjoyed all its work with Miss Ba- right and appreciated the much needed aid that she has always been willing to render. Though her years be many and her years be long, Her Normal friends are true. Miss RosA E. SEARLI-J Who does not know Miss Searle with her hustling, bus tling air? We see her hurrying through the assembly hall and the corridors always with something to do. We have learned from Miss Searle, that by not wasting the Golden Moments, we can attain success. What more valuable lesson could any teacher impart to us, who are about to enter a very difficult career? We wish Miss Searle all the happiness she has given us and hope that many more may be benefited by her kind ness and sweet nature. MR. ALBERT G. ELDRIDGE So sweet a dignity sits enthroned upon his brow, So filled wit h kindness is the sunshine of his faceg 'Tis true, a blessing that we had him nowg Nor tinte, nor distance can his nfemory efface. And yet alway, alway, doih such calmness rest Upon the brow unlined by toil or care: When reading of the lads of Rousseau's time oppressed His voice in clarion thunder rends the air, And Seniors weep. Their tears fall unrestrained, But Mr. Eldridge's calm is maintained.
