, Miss EVELYN C. PERRY Monument Beach, Mass. Music halh charms lo soothe the savage breast. , Miss Perry is one of our new and vivacious teachers. Her advent into our school has meant to us all keener apprecia- tion and greater enjoyment of her art, Music. In the short time she has been with us, she has shown marked ability as a musician. We all expect great, new things from her. Good luck, Miss Perry! Miss BERTHA L. ALLYN Holyoke, Mass. Miss Allyn joined us in April to fill the position of secre- tary in the Extension Department. She attracted us all the very first day she was here and many of us thought, What a happy and delightful little person she is! She always has a smile and a cheery word for each and every one of us. We all wish we knew Miss Allyn better and hope she will re- main at N. A. N. S. to cheer those who come after us. Miss FANNIE BISHOP Miss Bishop's amazingly wise, Though she's very small in size. No one could help loving this little lady, with the sweet disposition. By the adoration of the little children, one can easily see that she is an ideal kindergarten teacher. She is never too busy to give Normal students profitable advice from her extensive store of knowledge. With her cheery little smile, she helps to make the whole world happy. We have no need to worry about her future, because with her pleasing personality she will succeed wherever she may be. Miss MARION E. FEELEY She's little but she's wise, Much she accomplishes for her size. She's here, she's there and she's everywhere. We qften wonder that she takes time to eat and sleep. It is rumored that Miss Feeley is to leave and continue gaining knowledge at Columbia next year. It can't be for psychology because we have already found her well versed in that subject. What a blow her departure will be to the extension department! Can one be found to equally fulfill her tasks? Rather difii- cult, we fear. We hope that she will return again to brighten up N. A. N. S. Here's success to you, Miss Feeley.

. I. Elf -I I THE AXIS 7 Miss ANNA J. LAMP!-nan H'hatener Ls worth doing at all is worth doing well. Haw accurately this quotation portrays Miss Lamphier. Although we only went to her handwork classes a few weeks during our Junior year, we learned to do things to the very best of our ability, for she was never satisfied until our work was as nearly perfect as we could make it. To all the girls has Miss Lamphier given an example of exactness, and many times has she proven herself to be a helpful friend during our course here at Normal. In leaving, we wish this teacher of ours much happiness and success. Miss BERTHA M. Snouas To those who know thee not, no words can paint, And those who know thee, know all words are faint. When we think of Miss Sholes, we will always remember her unfailing helpfulness as our cooking and sewing teacher. BY her endless amount of patience and tact she has made herself dear to the hearts of all of the class of '23. Although we didn't come in contact with Miss Sholes as much as we did some of the other teachers, she has won the love of each of us, and we will ever think of her as a capable teacher and a true friend. On the top floor of Normal School she meets us and al- Ways succeeds in tucking in many valuable bits of advice between the facts of the lesson. ,Zz-WQWN. ff' X X w Xl t 1 .ff MR. THOMAS CUMMINGS With a ready smile and a word of cheer, Our Class Adviser has helped as all year. Wherever we roam, no matter how far, His example of kindness will be our star. May he live long and never forget The class, his praises are singing yet. ' Although we have had only a short course with Mr. Cummings, to say that we have enjoyed it would not be expressing our pleasure forcefully enough. In times of cheer and in times of need, we have gone to Mr. Cummings and never once has he failed to help us. We were very fortunate, too, in having him as one of the chaperons on our trip to Washington. At the request of our class, Mr. Cum- mings joined us in reporting some experiences to the stay- at-homes. He couldn't suppress his wit even in speech making. We of the class of '23 sincerely wish that his cheery smile and winning personality may continue to lighten the way of many others who may come to North Adams Normal School.

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.
