SHEERIN West Stockbridge, Mass, Open your blue eyes lo lhe morn. This quotation is very fitting and appropriate for Alice, who is one of the important daugh- ters f rom West Stockbridge, Mass. She was also one of the mem- bers of the third floor group who certainly enjoyed life while at Normal. Although voted the livest member of the class the close of the term. Alice took the kindergarten course and had very gccd luck with the children. While at Normal it was a hard thing for Alice to get up at six-thirty, but we feel that next year when she is teaching in some little red school hous ways be on time for school. e, she will get up early and al- Alice.

THE AXIS 15 EDNA IRENE MESSIER Pittsfield, Mass. Here's to Irene of Room Eight.' She tries hard nc'er to be late, She does all the work The rest of us shirk- This dear Irene of Room Eight! Edna Irene has deserted us for Pittsfield almost every week end throughout the past two years, but we have appreciated her while she was here. Every- one loves her dancing brown - eyes and her snappy manner of llking, Besides, is she not our most ladylike member? he has that name, at least. There are a host of things we ould say about her, but let it suflice to say that she is a rue friend to all. JOSEPHINE CAMILLE MOONEY Lee, Mass. Like sunshine her glances so tenderly fall, She smiles not for one, but she smiles on us all. And many a heart she has eas'd of its care. ll'e'll bless the dear lass with the delicate air. Here's to the neatest of our class, whom every one knows to be a good friend. We all know that Jo will always keep her oise and sweet dignity even during the most exciting of allege games. May Josephine, as she well deserves, win iccess and happiness wherever she goes. ' RUTH W. NESBIT Pittsfield, Mass. To the best old pal one ever had, Our 'Nebbyf To one whose smile is never sad, Our 'Nebby.' To one who's always just the same And straight and square, will play the game- Our 'Nebbyf You are to be a fine teacher, we prophesy. The children will love you and be 891' to help you because you have a brisk and pleasing anner of which one never tires. Don't forget us. BLANCHE ADELAIDE OLSTED Pittsfield, Mass. Here's to the sweetest one, Here's to the neatest one, Here's to the truest, Of all who are true. Who does not love Our Blanche, the most athletic girl in N. A. N. S? Do we not know this roguish little girl by the merry twinkle in her eye? If you once meet her you will always remember her by her winning ways. She brings hap- piness and sunshine into every heart by her many comfort- ing words of cheer. For these and many other reasons we are all proud of our deal pal, Blanche. . GENEVA AGNES O'BRIEN Stockbridge, Mass. Gene is our class baby. She has all the characteristics of a lovable child and none of those which a prize baby should lack. Gene is always ready for everything, being a crackerjack at tennis and right there when it comes to stationary bas- i ketball. Her talents are not l alone in this line, for who can forget Gene in our tableau as Sweet Genevieve? Without Gene the class of '23 wouldn't be, at least we couldn't imagine it. Here's wishing Gene the best of success in whatever profession she undertakes, whether it's teaching school or testing soups , , HELEN T. O'NEILL Pittsfield, Mass. You may travel many a weary mile, You may see many a pleasant smile, But no matter where or when you 90, There is never a smile like the one we know, Never a greeting half so sweet As the one you receive when our pal you meet. ' ' Always laughing and ready for fun, Helen has kept the spirit of '23 up to the top. She is never too busy to attempt more work which she goes about blithely singing her favorite song, My Buddy. None of us can find words to tell our appreciation and affection for her. Whenever we speak of our famous class, we will al- ways remember our dear old Captain who has so faithfully supported the crew in our two years' voyage.

THE AXIS 17 MADELINE ELIZABETH TRACY Stockbridge, Mass. C I Trace!! Here's to Trace of '23! She smiles with you, and laughs with me. When you want a sample of Paradise, All you need do is look in her eyes. She's ever happy as the day is - long, Her heart is light as any song. If you're blue at all, my dear, She'll always bring you the best of cheer. Long she's been our shining star, And we'll think of her where e'er we are We wish her success with all our might For long she has been our true delight. GERTRUDE LUCY TYER Lee, Mass. The readiness of doing doth es-press No other but the doer's willingness. It did not take us long to find this out about Gert, who was ever willing to help us in every , way. She has proved it by be- l ing ready to do any work, no , matter how busy she was or A ' how trying the task. It would be hard for the class of '23 to find a squarer and more loyal girl than is our Gert If Gert keeps as good order in her own school as she has here as council member, we all know she will have a model school. ' GLADYS WELIPLE Adams, Mass. For she is just the quiet kind Whose nature never varies, Like streams that keep the sum- mer mind Snow-hid in January. Gladys is one of those quiet girls who does things without making much noise about it. She has worked quietly and con- scientiously throughout her two years at Normal School. Glad has proven herself very efficient as a messenger girl as the members of the class can testify. The best wishes of the class go with her wherever she may teach next year. DOROTHY LOUISE WHEELER Shelburne, Mass. Modest and simple and sweet, 1 the very type of Prescillaf' Is it any wonder that Dorothy has captivated several male visitors at the dormitory by her colorful beauty of char- acter? She is a silent girl and one who loves to bear the bur- den of people's secretsg but be- ware how you try to extract a secret from the lips of Dot! Though Dorothy is silent and not a boaster, she might tell of much hard work accom- plished during her two years with us. In her Junior year she did good conscientious work as Exchange Editor of THE AXIS. This year she has put all the energy on teaching and doing work at the dormitory. We all know that Dot will always be faithful to that school of hers in Northampton next year. .ee . RUTH ISABELLA WII.DER Montague, Mass. You are an elegant scholar, Having the graces of speech and skill in turning of phrases. -rlfiles Standish For two years Ruth helped us over the stony pitfalls by rescuing the class when it couldn't solve a problem in ge- ometry or didn't know the author of some poem or book. She was always ready to deal A ' out paper, pencils, and erasers in the supply room, a place she was very capable of holding. Ruth, with her strong alto voice, has serviceably filled a position as a member of the Glee Club during her two years at Normal. We expected to hear that Ruth was going to teach in San Domingo, but alas, our hopes were not satisfied as she ex- pects to teach in Northfield, Mass. So here's to you, Ruth, a very prosperous future. MARION AVERY WOODARD Greenfield, Mass. Here's to you, Marion, so loyal and true- You prove capable in all that you do. May you be happy as upward you soar, There is no one we know who de- serves it more. Your efiiciency and fairness so won our hearts throughout the year that none of us shall - forget you as our House-Presi- dent of 1923. Whenever we carry on dramatics in our school, we shall be inspired by your ability to portray Christopher Columbus. Yourspirit of helpfulness and yourlove for fine things will, we feel sure, win you glory wherever you go.
