Special Stubents - W. , GERTRUDE Rosa BOYLE New Bedford, Mass. Here's to Gert, A New Bedford lass, llrlho is always ready To serve her class. Everybodyknowsthat Gert comes a long distance to attend our school, and we are all proud of the fact that she is with us. Gert is very fond of all kinds of sports including dancing and men. She has just the best disposition in the world, and no matter when you meet her she is sure to be wearing that New Bedford smile. . , CELESTINE CoPPs DAVINE Rutland, Vermont Rather a quiet young lady is she, lllith the gentlesl of manners you ez-cr did see. Here's to Cel, the meekest I girl in the class. Her favorite pastimes are men and dances. Can she dance? We'll say she can! Cel has a very be- witching smile, and oh, those blue eyes! Although she is a Vermonter, who came to North Adams Normal School to take up the noble profession of teaChiUg the YO'-Inger generation. we have an idea that she will not continue very long in this line of work. However, whatever you do, or wherever you go, the best wishes of the class go with you, Cel HARRII-:T VIOLA l North Adams, I A form more fair, c sweet Ne'er hath it been my l Harriet, better some as Hatty, i ne'er to be forgo sweet gentle way ha many friends and Though the day be dreary, all one has t cheered is to look at ' ' to find that same smile.

Of course Nellie's future will be successful and the class of 1923 extends their best wishes to het Lomsi-: SPENCER Warren, Mass. Calm and collected, she enters the game, Thus as a tennis champ, Lou has won fame. Each girl in her turn has endeavored to win But none has succeeded, and have to give in. Louise came a little late to join us, so we missed having her in the dormitory. Yet, by her cheerful manner, she quickly made friends with us all. Her witty sayings and replies reveal Lou's sense of humor hidden behind her most dignified manner. Work among the children in Perkins's Institute has increased her thorough understanding of human nature. Louise's musical talent has brought pleasure and been an inspiration to us all.

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.
