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.

THE AXIS Miss ANNA J. LAMPHIER To Miss Lamphier we owe our desire to do the things which we do to the very best of our ability. She was i never satisfied to say, That will he all right. It must be as nearly perfect as our unskilled fingers could make it and, to our surprise, we have often found that we really could do something worth-while when we found that we had to do so. XXXN I. X x ps l Often we have objected to perfecting our handwork but l we thank Miss Lamphier for insisting upon our doing so for we realize that some day we shall appreciate it more than now. li May this teacher of ours have many happy experiences in the years which are to follow and may her success be greater every day. Miss Bi-:n'rn,x M. SHULES As we go into our class rooms all our teachers will ever he liefore ns, hut in a few years xx hen the class room is left and we decide to teach just one pupil we shall limi one coming to our minds more prominently than the others. Who w as it taught us to cook so tastefully, 'I'o lny the talnle so it looked so daintily, 'l'o make our clot hes and dress so modestly, And spend our pennies very cautiously. liven the pests we can greet most cordially l ot'tlid she not teach us very thoroughly llow lU4'Xll'l'IlllIlilil' these most quickly. When we stop to think ls there anything shi-'s not taught ns lu do, Which we will need to use in our honSl' for two? N 1 MR. Tnonns F. C't'mnNcs Mr. Cummings! Mr. Cummings! Who has ever come to Normal School and not heard the praises of this man from one end of the huilding to the other. Has he deserved this praise? Indeed he has. Those who attend his handi- craft clawes do so with joy and delight, even though it is hard at times to do the sawing and hannnering which he so pleasantly requires. The members of the class of 19112 can vouch for that. In leaving we hope that Mr. Cummings will always have the many friends he has gained during his stay at Normal.
