THE NORMALOGUE 7 7 hitnrial ON BOARD THE GOOD SHIP N. A. N. S. 1 EAVE to, my classmates, we're about to drop anchor after an immensely' enjoyable voy- age, sailing through the heavy seas of training, for one of the most noble professions in the cause of humanity! 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. . A. Laurie Macgregor, '25
