i I THE CLASS OF 1923 ' RrrA AGAN North Adams, Mass. i The qualities Qf friendship are loyalty, ajection ard under- standing, ard the greatest Qt' these is ur derslardiugf' Rightly does Rita deserve the title of Best Friend of the class. She is one of the few girls blessed with a personality i that invites frierdship. Once that you know Rita you are hers forever. Maybe the secret lies in the fact that Rita M 4 l .Yourself alone. HM W . l t lui-king in the qualities of loyalty and affection. f Nita most of all because she understands. Iii... ,lm BESSIE BARBER Williamstown, Mass. Here she is, there she is, with a smile for everyone. From Williamstown she came to us, this winsome, willing lass. Her sweet and pleasing person- ality has won for her a place in the hearts of one and all. How could the class of '23 ever have gotten along without-her? To Bessie belongs the success of the wonderful Berkshire Ban- quet. What would it have U I lint icnce and fine spirit? She has also been lm, 'Malin i lui fic-1' Club for two years and a loyal .member, ,W I ll I .V H ii- has been chosen as the most willing mem- ,lllmrzn 'Ir' 1-Iuris. llvre's a wish for a long and happy life.

Ambition has no rest. -Bulwer-Lyttfm. Ruth Clarke, the tall, seri- ous C'?J girl of our class, truly deserves the title Most Am- bitious. Whether her ambi- tion is for the editorship of THE AXIS and its chief author, two years of successful Glee Club membershp, or the downfall of a few innocent June bugs, she always reaches her aim. The dormitory, yea, even the whole school was deeply impressed during her Junior year with her powers as a me- dium. This ambition carried over into the Psychology class where she was always ready with a weird, fantastic story. The class of Nineteen twenty-three expects great things of Ruth I. Clarke. Indeed we are prepared to look ahead a few years and find her listed in Who's Who. i GENEVIEVE Cor-'FEY Pittsfield, Mass. When you work, work hard. When you play do not work at all. Genevieve, one of our most- attractive girls, is a conscien- tious worker, but when anyone mentions tennis or any other sport, she rarely hesitates to drop her work and play the game. Last year our classmate al- ' ' ways had her suitcase packed a week ahead of the time when she was going home. Tl'IiS year, however, Genevieve likes North Adams better. D0 you wonder why? We all wish her the success which she is sure to have. -iii? - - ELIZABETH COGGESWELL COOKE Pittsfield, Mass. Beth, will you make up a little poem for me? Often and often we hear those words spoken to this witty little maid when she comes tripping down the hall. She is able to display her feelings not only Chmllgh poetry, but expresses them also through her aesthetic and social dancing. Beth has helped to make our class successful by serving on the various com- mittees and on the editorial board of THE AXIS for two Years- We all know she will be progressive in whatever she undertakes. Among the wittiest of the witty So our Betty has been classed. May she always be successful, As she has been in the past.

THE AXIS 9 Mas. THERZA C. VAN ETTEN Mrs. Yan, protector, helper,- All these names and another Might apply to our dear matron, But our favorite is Mother She has ever been a mother, Full of life and laughter alway, To those girls who needed cheering, When from home they'd come to stay Now were leaving her, with sadness, And we'll go to some strange place, Rui near or far, tho' we may wander, Well always think of her dear face. MISS VIRGINIA L. SEARS Cummington, Mass. Blue-eyed awd fair qffacef' Telephone for Miss- in the booth. Thank you, Miss Sears. How many times have we heard those self-same words uttered! Although Miss Sears has only been with us since October she has won a place in the hearts of all the girls. Judging from appearances the incoming class will not have the pleas- ure of knowing our Assistant Matron, for we hope to see her head of the White House t?J soon. Miss TEREs.A. FERGUSON Good things come in small packages. We had often heard this saying, but nex er had vie quite realized the truth of it until we met Miss Ferguson. Miss Ferguson is our idea of personified energy. She is always busy but never too busy to assist any student in need. Her cheerfulness and willingness endear her in our hearts and we will always remember her as an important factor in making our lives at Normal superbly happy. Three cheers for Miss Ferguson and the best of wishes to her from the Class of '23.

How her sweet voice aided the Glee Club in their two concerts! i Woe unto the mortal who is fascinated by the hypnotic eye of our little belle! She pene- trates his outer being, calls him her Prince Charming, her love, her all. O Peg! What is the name of the lucky star who covers third base for Williams?

Although Beth tells us T she is going to teach school, we l are looking forward to the pro- duction of a play under her competent supervision. Whatever she does, we hope joy and success will always be her companions. ' BERMCE EDWARDS Orange, Mass.

Some call her Bunny and some call her Berny, but she answers to both in her good- y natured way. How many times have we heard the expression Now, I ask you uttered from herlips! We wonder just where this pet expreSsion arose-Could we truly say, From Orange from whence she hailed '? Now, Bunny, we, the class of '23, hope happiness and good fortune will attend you in all your undertakings.
