LTHOUGH, primarily we shall always regard this member of our faculty as a skillful teacher, we cannot fail to think of him in the same moment, as our true friend. To be under the guidance of such a nature-lover and zealous scholar was indeed a proper incentive to thoughtful work so that the hours spent in his class- room were full of pleasure and profit for all of us. Always patient and forebearing, he encouraged us to our best efforts, nor could his own enthusiasm fail to inspire us. During our two years under his capable leadership, we found him always ready to help us, giving generously of his time that we might profit. Mere words with which to express our appreciation of all he has done in pre- paring us to become teachers, seem ineffective indeed. We only hope that we may more tangibly express our gratitude by adhering to those high standards he has set for us in our teaching profession. In sincere appreciation of his work in our behalf and his many kindnesses to us, the members of the class of 1925 fondly dedicate to him this, our book.

Many moons ago, from north, south, east and west, most of us with poorly rigged ships, gathered at the harbor of North Adams, in the fall of '23, to set sail upon our anticipated jour- ney aboard the good ship N. A. N. S., through the region of the Veiled Future to the land of our Heart's Desire. Definite plans were considered, after which a successful and interesting itinerary was arranged by our worthy captain, Mr. Smith. As everything was in readiness, we set sail the morning of September 12, 1923, and the Weather favorable. Many a girl, looking at the restless sea, was comforted by some such scene as the beautiful islands of Comradeship or Helpfulness, as the ship surged past through the roaring waves. Unceasingly, codes were received from our home stations, giving us cheer and welcome messages. , Every morn, as the sun rose in the east, it brought its own joyg and every evening as the same glowing ball of fire cast its fading rays o'er the western sky, it left each girl with longing for the worthier and nobler things of Life, with a keen desire to execute the highest ideals to which we might aspire. Although seemingly cruel at times, more often the sea was as calm and tranquil as a placid lake. How much more encouraging it was on these occasions, than when alive with a spirit of unrest. Constantly, we were reminded, that, The sea is held in check not by a wall of brick but by a beach of sand . The ocean, working such marvellous miracles, exhibited a lesson to the shipmates not to be forgotten, instantly. We learned to be more patient, sympa- thetic and loving to our fellow voyagers. , Q All too quickly, our delightful trip on board the N. A. N. S. is drawing to a close. To all my classmates, Dorm girls and Town , some who are to dock permanently, and those of you who are to board other ships and continue your voyage, I, as a friend to all, wish every- one a bon voyage , on any additional journey which you may endeavor to undertake. .

THE NORMALOGUE 45 Ahhrvzs nf elrnme ARENTS, Teachers, Classmates, Friends: In every path that leads to success, there are so many rough places over which we must tread, so many obstacles which we must overcome that our destination sometimes seems beyond possibility of attainment. To-day, however, having triumphantly arrived at the first mile-stone in our journey, we are thankful for every effort that we have made as we have trudged along our chosen path together. But how far could all our efforts have carried us had there been no inspiration to guide us? Whenever our tasks have seemed too difficult, whenever we have experienced disap- pointments or discouragement, there has been ever before us one thought that, like a bright light shining in a dark way, has encouraged us to take heart again. What greater inspiration could there be than the thought of so many friends eager to share equally our pleasures and our trials, to laugh with us on the smooth way and to help us over the rough places? Just as you have so generously shared our troubles, we are happy to-day to share with you our feeling of satisfaction and joy at our progress toward success. . During these two busy, happy years, we have learned to know and value one another. The friendships which we have formed within these walls will go on forever. Together we have played, and together, at opportunity's call, we have put our best effort into each task to be accomplished. This day does not mark an fend, it marks only the beginning of a noble work. It marks the end of our journey together, henceforth each of us must walk alone on her chosen path -that path which must finally lead to only one destination-SUCCESS. The little Road says Go, the little House says, Stay. And O! it's bonny here at home, but I must go away. The little Road, like me, would seek and turn and know And forth I must to learn the things the little Road would show! And go I must, my dears, and journey while I may, Though heart be sore for the little House that had no word but Stay. But though each of us walks alone she will ever be guided by the ideals set by her Alma Mater. She will have always before here the realization of the great service she is rendering to mankind. Each of us is well equipped for such a service and each is firmly resolved to go forth Willing and eager to cheer and help those with whom she is entrusted. Mr. Smith and Members of the Faculty, your interest in our welfare and your wise guidance during these two years have been in a great measure responsible for our present feel- ing of 'confidence in future service and success. We appreciate each sacrifice that you have' made to send us out into the world ready and willing to do our part in our noble service. We shall never cease feeling thankful for our association with you and know that our work will prove' greater because of it. Parents and Friends, it is not for us yet to fully express our appreciation for all that you have done for us. That time is to come. I know that there are brook-gladdened meadows ahead And mountains of wearisome height, That the road passes on through the long afternoon And stretches away to the night. Yet we hope that as we climb ever upward you may be repaid in part by the knowledge that you have helped us to fulfill this resolution-to carry cheer into the big world and to render service to'mankind. , On this day, almost our last here together, we, the Class of '25, bid you welcome and hope that you may enjoy the program which we have planned. May M .' Tracy President of Class of '25 46 THE NORMA,LOGUEf Ahhreza tn .Uuninrn g ,BEAR Juniors, worthy classmates and friends: Altho it is my great privilege to address you this afternoon, yet I do it with sorrow in my heart because, are we not leaving our Alma Mater tomorrow, for, There is a quest that calls us, In nights when we're alone, The need to ride where the ways divide The known from the unknown. However, it is my duty to put sorrowing thoughts aside and give to you certain pieces of advice. Let me add that these suggestions come from those who have had two years of experience in our Normal and we offer them for the benefit of each person who will become a Senior next year. My first bit of counsel will be to the class as a whole. On returning here next September try to conduct yourselves sas we have been con- ducting ourselves throughout the year. Befriend the lonely little Juniors when they appear in your presence. Strive to keep the spirit of friendship as true and pure as it should be in any place. Four timesevery week you will assemble with 'Mr. Smith, Csometimes without himj in Psychology. Be prepared to contribute all kinds of concrete examples, but remember that you are only little amoebas. Twice during the week, you will have Mr. Carpenter, so remember this, always read every word of your reference work and make full notes on each for Management class. It will be well to advise you that the handling of worms, bugs and flies is very necessary in the Zoology course, so try to be as brave as we were during that time. Altho Miss Owens has been newly appointed to our beloved faculty as teacher of His- tory of Education, we must leave a word with you about her class. In this subject we were really taught how to study, and also how to find the choice parts of our reading matter. Never fail to do as you are told. We all know that you will spend a happy year with Miss Baright, but girls, here's a secret. You would better read many poems and short stories, for no matter what you men- tion, this well-read teacher has either read or heard of it. Since as Seniors, you will have Miss Pearson only half a year, be sure that you make the most of that short time to understand harmony, unity and rhythm of design. You will be entirely deprived of Mr. Cummings' jolly smile, but we hope that soon a new course will be started with this teacher at its head. A word must be said about our famous man dances. According to the old saying, slow and steady win the race, maybe by next year you will have grown up sufficiently to dance until morning, altho we warn you that if this is to be accomplished, you must have a great deal of stick-to-a-tive-ness. As you already know, music hath charms, and Some think the world was made for fun and frolic-and so do I. Now, may I give some advice to the dorm girls? Why, of course they need it! Always obey every house rule, if you can rememberg also have the fire drill directions tacked on your wall because of the constant need of them. Even if the House meetings are rare, attend them regularly and pay strict attention to all things said or done. . We hope by next year that everyone's tongue will have loosened sufficiently for you to be able to converse readily with the head of your table. Do not wait until the week end to do your talking. It causes too much disturbance. Remember, study hours are for study, not for free vaudeville shows or races in the corridor. ' When bells ring for meals, do not rush madly down stairs as if you had never seen food before. THE NORMALOGUE 47 While waiting for your escort to come, on the night of a man dance, do not drape your- selves over the bannister, watching others come to their doom. It is not being done. Last but not least, do not try to cross Mrs. Van., for you know that, even if she speak- eth not, yet there is conversation in her eyes. There is much more advice which might be given to you before the final good-byes, but what has been said must be kept vfell in mind, never to be forgotten. At last, my dear friends of a year, it is time to bid farewell, to leave you to work out your own salvation, or shall I say destruction? All that we ask, is that you support the high- est standards possible and graduate next June with flying colors, . , In the world's broad field of battle, In the bivouac of life, Be not like dumb, driven, cattle! Be a hero in the strife! Maryon H. Cook, '25 lfiezpnnse in the Sveninrz ENIORS: Being by nature a most obliging and ambitious class, we accept these your parting words of advice and good counsel. Now, as ever, we acknowledge your good judgment. Who is more qualified to instruct and guide than the class which has travelled the path upon which our feet are set? ' Ever since we arrived in Normal Hall to occupy the seats which you so thoughtfully reserved for our use, we have felt the kindly, helpful spirit of your class. What is meant to us in those first strange days, only one who has experienced our newness can understand. Had we tried at that time to voice the depth of our gratitude, the words would have but poorly expressed our sincere appreciation. Even now we can express it all too inadequately. May We, who have known this welcomed friendliness, follow your fine example and carry it next September to the class of 1927. During our busy school days, overflowing with work and countless pleasures, we have come to know one another well. As a class, we have been humbled by your athletic prowess, amazed at your mental activitiesg and inspired by your dignity and self possession. If, on certain occasions, we have felt it necessary to display the possibilities of the Junior class, it was to test our ability to measure up to the standards set by you for us to follow. We will miss you when we return in the fall, yet you are leaving with us lasting im- pressions, firm friendships and pleasant memories. ' We wishyou the success and happiness which is your due. ' M.

Katherine Crowley, '25 THE NoRMALoGUE 49 Qllazz lliztnrg 1524-25 Turn backward, turn backward, O Time, on thy way, Bring back happy memories just for today. SHALL we ever forget the eventful day when first our timid feet made their hesitating way to the assembly hall of the North Adams' Normal School? No! Because that day marked a turning point in our lives. We had commenced the wonderful training in the study of the child, that would enable us to become one of those beloved beings, a teacher. More than once during our first day, we felt the appraising eyes of the learned Seniors fixed upon us. Would they like us? However, when the Senior reception was held for the Juniors, there was no doubt left in our hearts. How friendly they were to us! Then and there were formed such friendships as would last far longer than the period spent at N. A. N. S. During that year what a myriad of events took place! The Hallowe'en party with one of those eerie ghost stories told as only Miss Baright is capable of telling them, the four man dances with the trials and tribulations of securing a man g-most of the girls will agree with me that this was a case of if at first you don't succeed, try, try again -and the Faculty Show wherein our beloved teachers displayed their talents, were among the most enjoyable. There was also the exhibition which the Seniors gave in the gymnasium. Did we Juniors mind that we were the subjects of their experimentation? Certainly not! We were proud of them and their executive ability. Of course we enthusiastically attended the Glee Club Concert The Last Tea of Suki, or those who were more fortunate participated in itg the Senior Play, Thesus , and the Operetta Patricia in which our upper classmates excelled. All too soon came graduation week with the Alumni Banquet at which we Juniors served, the Class Day exercises, and the long anticipated Reception to the Seniors. How attractive the girls were in their fluffy, vivid dresses! We felt well repaid foriour efforts expended in their behalf. Finally came the day of graduation itself. Songs, speeches, distribution of diplomas and our Seniors were gone forever,-but we, we had become exalted enough to fill their places We had become the Seniors! Vacation days were soon over, so once more we returned to the school upon the hill. There as Seniors we welcomed the entering Juniors with open arms, even as we had been re- ceived. Now our shoulders were not as lightly burdened as in our Junior year, for now we were actually teaching for long periods of time in the helpful training schools. Neverthe- less, we found time to take charge of the man -dances! To 'the new Juniors belonged the arduous task of removing the desks, under the able direction of Mr. Jones, to make space in the assembly hall for the dancers. A new factor entered into our experience. We must have money. Our class gift, the trip to New York, and the upkeep of the School Paper the Axis each required this, therefore, to this end, we held food sales, blind auctions, card parties. and other money making enterprises. . How successful was our class play! We little dreamed of the remarkable talent hidden in our midst, until Miss Baright selected the memorable characters in Hiawatha , One disappointment came to the class, for we, the incomparable Seniors, were outsung in a musical contest by the Juniors. But the songsters of both classes are to be heartily con- gratulated upon their efforts under the able leadership of their chosen directors. At last graduation week has again arrived with its Class Day, Senior Banquet and graduation, as well as the reception at which we are to be the guests. Our glorious school days are at an end, and we are prepared to go forth into the world to instill in the hearts of others the wisdom we have gained. - We are sorry to leave a place that has so endeared itself to us, yet we are glad that one more stepping stone in our upward struggle has been passed. We leave our Alma Mater with the fervent prayer on our lips and in our hearts that we may continue to uphold her noble traditions and make her proud that once her spacious halls have sheltered us. All Hail to Thee Our Alma Mater! Anne Peat Henderson 50 THE NoRMALoGUE Gllazz lgrnpherg GHIS dark, gloomy night, as I sit in my easy chair before a roaring fire, gazing dreamingly at the brilliant sparks which crack and leap into the air, my eyes fall lovingly on a book which I have been so fully perusing. The cover bears the old familiar monogram, N. A. N. S. with those two beloved numerals '25, How glad I am to be the proud possessor of that treasured book, printed twenty years ago, but which recalls to my mind loved places and fond recollections of my class-mates at Nor-mal School. Rather abashed, I am forced to admit that there are a few strands of silver among my once brown hair. Only Old Father Time, who constantly touches my locks with his gnarled fingers, has wrought this change. But Time works magically, too. As it advances, it leaves in our mind, many vivid memories of unforgotten days.. How happy I was then, living in the midst of a wealth of comrades and beloved friends! Suddenly, my attention is attracted by the terrific storm which is raging outside in the pitch-blackness of the evening. The moaning wind is shaking the very foundation of the house. The moon is entirely overshadowed by ugly, black clouds. Thor, in all the hor- ror of his majesty, is exhibiting his strength in tumultuous peals of thunder. At frequent intervals, sharp flashes of lightning flood the night. Then, all is instantly black again. To me, there is always something so entrancing about a weird scene. It haunts one-yet the Very gruesomeness of it holds an attraction for me. Speechless, I tiptoe to the door. With a lingering step, I tread the narrow, gravel path. My. how it crunches! With determined heart, I step forth. Unguided, my feet follow a well-known path, which winds aimlessly amid the grove of sighing pine trees. There, under the branches of an outstretched pine, I can just make out a dark figure. What is its mission in this lonesome place, at such a bewitching hour of the night? Stealth- fully, I creep closer, and when within a few feet of it, I stop and lean against the rough bark of an old tree. From here, as the storm dies away and in the east the grey dawn comes forth, I watch her-for it is a woman garbed in flowing robes of dusky material-as she gathers a few sticks of wood and builds a fire under a great, black caldron, which suddenly looms before her. As with a slender pole, and slow easy motions, she stirs the contents of the vessel, a cloud of fumes rises from the seething mass. To my amazement they are taking definite shapes! Somehow, I seem to recognize,-yes, Ruth Holden! Oh tell me quickly, I inquire, What is Rufus doing? In a slow monotonous drawl, the figure says, You know way back in Normal School days, Ruth was interested in the subject of Alexander. They say that after marrying him she now has sufficient local color to write her book, 'the Capture of Alexander'. Again, as the fumes trail upward, a form in the shape of a maiden, lingers in the tree- tops. Do you allow her to stay up there? I asked. Won't she fall? No, indeed, the witch replied, that is Hazel Perkins, a girl of so much experience, that I can trust her anywhere. Being anxious to hear more about old acquaintances, I am too impatient to wait for the mists to rise. So, the crone invites me to gaze into the depth of the boiling liquid. Here, I see a figure of an old, old woman, whose front teeth do not meet, who is teaching school- very successfully, I believe. Kay Crowley? To be sure! In Normal, she was one of our younger class-mates. By the way she is handling those children, she surely has the knack of discipline. ' Now, there is an apparently intelligent woman earnestly debating her cause. Ah! now it is growing clearer. As governor of the state of New York, she is conscientiously nomi- nating another woman of exceedingly, pleasing and influential character plus high social rating for president of the United States, namely May Weber. And who is the debater? Why Lura Lamb, of course. Didn't she show her ability back in those Normal days, for her present. career? And here's a petite and charming young miss, silently sanctioning this movement. You understand how deeply she feels the importance of this election, because she is an ardent THE NORMALOGUE 51 supporter of Uncle SAM. Right away, I know it must be Dot Shaw. Ah now, I see someone actually sacrificing some of her beauty for others. I can't seem to think who it can be, but as I look again, I recognize Bee Kerr cutting her hair to make switches for the poor unfortu- nates who once bobbed their flowing tresses. I sincerely hope this is the only cause to which she will ply her switches, muttered the witch. Now, I hear clearly in the distance, a sweet voice trilling. Without any questioning the witch said, That is Doris Chittim, who is singing as soloist in yonder Temple, with Kath- erine Slattery, as the organist. Suddenly, a long finger is pointed to a group of people. Dressed in artist's garb, I can distinguish two youthful figures, cleverly plying their brushes. Do I know them? Yes, indeed. They are no other than Lillia Sidney and Antoinette Murray whose widely known artistic works have made them famous. Whom have they for a model? I ask. The old woman replies, I can't think of her name, but she was the most lovable member of the class of '25. In a minute, I know it to be Eleanor Sisson, who was also chosen as the sweetest one among us, back in those dear old Normal days. Now, I see a garden, where a young lady is carefully guarding her wealth of growing flowers. The witch is puzzled as to her name. But, who could be mistaken? It is Mabelle Potter, the famous naturalist, who recently added much to the florist's world, by crossing a skunk cabbage with a sweet pea. However, there are some turkeys that persist in uprooting her choice specimens. I heard rumors that they belonged to a woman, whose ability along the line of raising turkeys is unsurpassed-Linda Howlett, is her name. Ethel-Hemenway, who is a sympathetic friend of Belle's, has even gone so far as to offer Linda a Halfpenny if she will keep her turkeys at home. But it is of no avail. Now, away over to the left, I behold an immense amphitheatre where gigantic trees with their dark green foliage form a picturesque background. Many people are rehearsing for the play, All Over Nothing at All , which is to be given this evening. How I wish I knew who are to take part in the play! Just then Yvonne Cayer passed a program, and the old witch said that she had built up a rattling good business, issuing programs. Im- mediately, I ask her who printed them. She employs Veronica Loftus, who in her High School days won a medal for type- writing, to do all the printing, the witch replied. As the program comes into view, I glance at the list of players, and my eye falls on the leading lady's name-Miss May Tracy, whose popularity in N. A. N. S. has evidently followed her to these later years. As a matter of fact, I seem to know all this famous production.

Note:-To Miss Lila Stannard, we owe many thanks in arranging the snow scene. The var- ious tinted hues of falling snow were fetching, because of their uniqueness. With a start, I am aroused. Where have I been? Why, right here, in my favorite chair, in front of the fire, but my thoughts have wandered many miles away. It is growing late, and the fire sinks lower and lower on the hearth. The embers of our lives have been brightened by the thoughts of our old friends, as by a 'dying spurt of flame . As I look again, the fire has finally died away. A A. Laurie MacGregor, '25 CLASS PROPHECY-Ccontinuedj SIN CE my days at Normal, I have frequently thought of my classmates, but recently more than ever, I could imagine them advanced in years, with all their success and achieve- ments crowned with glory. V Oft as I have gazed at a sparkling fountain, dashing its drops up into the air, only to drop slowly at my feet, I would say, Oh, that you could tell me of my friends so dear! But it seemed not to notice my presence there. Sometimes as I sat by my open fire with my old Normalogue in my hand, my mind would wander away to those happy Normal days. One evening, I was thus idly musing before my fading tire, when I heard a sharp knock at my door, and there entered my study, in answer to my call, a young Chinaman. Who was he? Why had he come? All these questions were going through my mind as I gazed at him. In my conversation with him, I found that his name was Sou-Sin, one of the great magic sand readers of China. Now, was my chance. I asked him to read the sands for me. To this, he agreed. He opened a large case and took out his frame, the brown sand, and the magic wand. With the freest of movements he swung his wand over the sands. They seemed to change magicly into a mirror, then a picture. I could see a large hall decorated with Spring Symbols and all the gayety of youth. Soon people began to enter the room. As the clock struck eight, an orchestra started to play and the dancing master came into view. To my surprise it was a dancing mistress, whom I recognized as Gladys Campbell. Since her days at Normal, she had made a great success teaching the art of .dancing. Her classes were for geniuses only, so it was not surprising for me to find Peg Rockwood here taking Professional Toe Dancing. Quick as afiash, the sands came back and the picture faded away, but again as quickly another came, and I was shown a large department store in New York. Here I could see the extensive exhibition rooms with their beautiful gowns. The model who stood out foremost was none other than Rachel Smith. These costumes which she was displaying were for the wife of the editor of the most successful New York newspaper. Who was it?-again I looked -to be sure! Isabelle Barber! Though the scene changed again, it did not leave New York. Now I could see before me pillars of the Federal Reserve Bank. The employees were standing at the door waiting THE NORMALOGUE 53 for the one belated. A Chrysler Roadster rolled up, and I recognized the late arrival as Marge Boyle, now Treasurer of the Federal Reserve Bank. -Another wave of the wand, and I was transported to a small Scientific laboratory where I could see Bea Rowan, who had just succeeded in making Protoplasm. She became over- interested in Psychology while in Normal and has since tried many experiments in which she has been successful. Directly across the street, I noticed a sign-board telling me of Miss Cohen's success as an Elocutionist. To be sure, we knew she would do wonders in this line after her work at Normal. With another glance, I could see Mary Gunning who is now Matron of a girls' private school. She was looking over the Normalogue and comparing it with the new year-book which had just been handed to her. ' With the graceful sweep of the magic wand, the picture was gone, and I gazed at the brown sands again. With another sweep, I was at the other end of our country, California! Hollywood! A big sign advertising a new picture with an all star cast caught my eye- Dar- ing Damsels. Among these characters were Ruth Dunn, Hester Farley, and Kay Kiely. To my great amazement, I found that Maryon Cook also had been travelling with these girls and is now a professional at making up people. -Also here in Hollywood, although her husband is a butcher, I found that Ellen Dinneen was head of the Secret Service Bureau of California. f Now we left our own United States, and lo! before me loomed the Andes of South Amer- ica. Here on the side of the mountain, I saw the Andes Inn which I later found out was owned and managed by Barb Beebe. A big car drove up to the Inn and I recognized the two Welch sisters. They have become professional globe trotters and were touring the world. Eleanor Hickey had been a member of the party, but on reaching Panama she met one of her numerous old acquaintances and remained there. Oh, in these far off countries, were there more of my classmates? Yes, and without delay the scene was changed to distant India where I found Persis Andrews, Anne Kennedy and Agnes Jackson doing Missionary work. Perk was teaching Geography with the newest Geography book, Men Elsewhere , by Leona Bachinski. Agnes Jackson was the district Doctor and Anne Kennedy her assistant nurse. The picture changed again an there was Alice O'Brien, standing in the midst of a throng of people, talking about the new Psychology book in which many' problems of the subject are solved, among which is the complete definition of Memory. It was not surprising to find that the author of this volume was Julia Martin. But, alas! how quickly that scene faded from my sight! Soon I seemed to be in a large auditorium in Chicago, where many people were gathered. As the clock struck the hour, the chairman introduced to the audience the World's most fmous Impersonator, Miss Vera Dunn. Between the acts, Rose Larkin pleased the people very much with her charming so- prano voice. She had become famous as a soloist and now these two were travelling together. Here in Chicago, we find Peg Trainor too, running a Teachers' Agency which seemed to be prospering marvellously. Quick as a flash, my eyes were transported to our National Capitol. Here in Washing- ton is Maie Ryan, now President of the Women's National Sportsman's Club. Maie has made a success in this position and has been of great service to American women everywhere. I can now see Maie talking to Antone Janick, in her office in the Pan American Building. Antone has been successful in all her undertakings and in curling all her ideas to help others. Now she is Secretary of our Foreign Affairs. A 'Mary Fenton is also in Washington. I beheld her leaving the Capitol, where she had just spoken before the Senate for more peaceful conditions among the Hardware Dealers of the United States. The wand swept over the sand once more and I almost lost the vision, but again it changed. I could see the Corcoran Art Gallery where a new picture, a master piece, had re- cently been hung. As I gazed at it, I knew the face was familiar. Annette? yes, Annette 54 THE NORMALOGUE O'Neil who had become an artist's model, a famous one, too, to be sure. This picture had been commented upon by expert critics, butpthey were unable to find any flaw. Here, at this minute was Chick Fitzgerald, the most prominent of America's art critics standing before the picture. . It was nearing time for presidential election and Chick said that Helen Pendergast was going out into different states making speeches in praise of her candidate for the president. Another transformation, and before my eyes were only the brown sands. Oh, you must go on! I have not seen all yet. The mirror came again and another picture. Why, my dear Alma Mater, N. A. N. S. Here on the Faculty platform sat a member of our class, Anne Fitzgerald, the handwork instructor. Now,-I can see the Normalogue 1925, and as the vision altered, the book changed to the Atlantic Monthly. Then Laurie MacGregor appeared. Oh, I could understand it well. Because of her great work at Normal, in connection with the Axis she had gone into the publishing business and steadily advanced to the editorship of this magazine. With a smile, and a tear in my eye, I gazed at the picture, but it was gone-gone and the sands alone lay before me. Gazing steadily at them, I mused. How happy I was now! I knew about all my classmates, where they were, and what they were doing. I looked up for Sau-Sin, but where was he? He had vanished, magic sands and all. But, no matter. With a heart full of happiness, I leaned back in my 'easy chair to dream of the joyous past which had just been brought so vividly to my mind. Margaret M.

S Lillia Franklin Sidney, '25 and May Ernestine Weber, '25 THE NORMALOGUE 59 ilngllbraiinn EFOR TWO years we have studied within these ivy-covered walls, preparing ourselves for the day when we might take our place as the workers and dreamers of the world. Now that day has come and in token of our readiness, we have gathered here to give a new well- spring to the ivy life of our school. This little plant is symbolic of life and youth. Small and far outclipsed by its brothers which tower above it, it still has in its tiny greenness that divine spark-the essence of life. Today standing vibrant with life, it faces two alternatives. It may continue to grow upward, weathering all the adversities of nature until at last it has increased the loveliness of the whole and we exclaim in wonderment: A vine- A clinging vine Round brick close to entwine Stedfast and growing still Our hearts with memory to refill. It stayed-it held. Or the sun may beat too strongly upon it and the rain fall too heavily until the ivy relinquishes its struggle and perishes. So lie the two ways before us! As the teachers of tomorrow we are stepping into a land of much opportunity for service. We are greatly needed-little children need us. What a blessed inspiration this is to encourage and strengthen us on our way. Well might our motto be, Non ministrandum sed ministrare . With us there must be no alternative. We cannot fail these children. Let us then give unselfishly of our lives and service to the end that we maybe counted among the laborers in the vineyard. Then shall we always remember that there is much work to do and learn to say: ' Let me but do my work from day to day, In field or forest, at the desk or loom, In roaring market-place or tranquil roorng Let me but find it in my heart to say, When vagrant wishes beckon me astray, This is my work, my blessing, not my doom, Of all who live, I am the one by whom This work can best be done in the right way. Beatrice M. Rowan, '25 :lug Harm Yonder springeth our ivy vine small, Just as our lives, to rise or to fall, With tendrils of hope it clings to the base, And wilts to the ground in adversity's face. The joy of new birth springs up with its leavesg The hope of new life comes borne on the breezeg We'll breathe of its essence, quaff deep of its joys, And hide from the world our cares and annoys. Ah! You in your verdure and you in your hope, Give the gold of your joy with our sorrow to copeg Lift upward your head 5 lift upward ours toog Cling closely to lifeg look up to the true, Live onward and forward though many the years Since we placed you, and left you with sad parting tears.

Red's wig is too long. It was seven o'clock on the uproarious night of the Senior Play, Hiawatha From any place in the dormitory, a listener might have heard peals of nervous laughter, ming- led with awesome groans and sighs as the Seniors donned their regalia. Occasionally a little louder scream would pierce the air, when an over-zealous Junior forced a pin too far into some Senior's costume. At about seven-fifteen, the tumult reached its height, when hurrying feet went racing down the halls for some last important article. Doors slammed loudly, as the Seniors, in their strange costumes, made their way across the yard. Shortly after seven-thirty, the leaders of a constant stream of girls left the dormitory for the scene of the play. The others, talking in high, excited tones, followed by threes and fours. . Before eight o'clock the last of the girls had been ushered to her place in the audience. Now, the dormitory, where, a few moments before, bedlam had reigned, heaved a deep sigh of relief, as it tenderly felt its beams and ceilings to see that nothing was irreparably in- jured. Then it settled down to a few moments of peace, broken only by the soft scampering of mice, who ventured from their hiding places to investigate the waste baskets left behind. M. G. C., '26 A SETTING I HROUGH the branches of many, feathery evergreens, one caught a glimpse of blue sky and still bluer water. Under these fragrant boughs, to the right of a little clearing, was pitched a curiously-decorated, brown Wigwam, on one side of which was hung an impressive black, bear skin. Extending from the roots of the trees to the opposite edge of the cleared space was an effective green covering. A large, brown log and the stump of a tree, placed on opposite sides added to the effectiveness of the scene. Every detail of this primitive set- ting was in charming contrast as the brown hangings were drawn aside to disclose the repro- duction of the home of little Hiawatha. ' M. H., '26 V THE PLAY Y fi IAWATHA -l-. How much more that name means to us! Before this play 5 given by our Seniors, Hiawatha was a poem studied somewhere in the grades. Now --, picture upon picture spreads itself before our eyes. We see the forest, the wigwams, the brothers and the little chickens of Hiawatha. The whole poem is alive with mean- ing. As never before, we catch the rhythmical flow of the lines, the beauty of the words and the worlds they open, or can open, to those with the key of understanding. Hiawatha -Who is he? Anyone who saw this play can tell you,-A lad, tall, straight, and true as his bow and arrow, as sincere and open as the heavens, as fearless and mighty as the mountain lion, and yet as gentle and watchful over his people as a mother bird is to her young! If we did not come away from this entertainment without higher ideals, deeper under- standing and broader sympathy for all people, something must be wrong with us. H. V.
