ROY LEON SMITH PRINCIPAL NORMAL SCHOOL - SAI NORTH ADAMS NORMAL SCHOOL FOREWORD I HE TIME has come for the class of nine- teen twenty-six to leave the North Adams Normal School and enter the broader highways of life. As the days go by, our thoughts will wander back to our Alma Mater, and memory will paint again for us, in softly blended colors, our happy life at school. That these precious memories may never fade, we publish this, our Normalogue, with the sincere Wish that now and in years to come, it may give pleasure not only to our class, but to all who read it.

Teacher of Drawing and Handicraft Class Advisor Who could think of Miss Pearson without seeing that twinkle in her eye and the smile that plays around her lips just before she tells of some funny ex- perience? Her sense of humor and sympathetic understanding have helped us over many a rough place in the road through N. A. N. S. As our class advisor, she always proved a kind and wise counselor, willing to leave her work to listen to our joys or tribulations. The beauty which we may find everywhere will always bring to our minds the one who helped us to gain a true love and appreciation of Art. Not only will the impressions obtained in her classes be an inspiration and guide, but her sympathetic and noble everyday life will enable us to be better fitted for our chosen profession. She taught us: To hold In loving reverence, Poor men and their work Great men and their work God and His work. -John Ruskin 7 THE NORMALOGUE 1 MR. CLINTON E. CARPENTER North Adams, Mass. Teacher of Child Study, Pedagogy, Penmanship, and Management A helpful friend, indeed, has Mr. Carpenter proved to the Senior Class. He was always willing to assist us in our teaching, or in our academic work. It was in his interesting classes that we acquired know- ledge which was invaluable when applied in our actual teaching. One could tell that the interests of his school and his classes were always close at heart. Surely we can attribute any of our future teaching successes to Mr. Carpenter's untiring efforts in our behalf. 8 MR. ROY LEON SMITH North Adams, Mass. Principal, and Teacher of Psychology For two years we have enjoyed working under the capable leadership of our principal, Mr. Smith. During the last half year the Seniors have been especially privileged in being under his instruction in Psychology. From the time of our introduction to the Amoeba throughout the entire course in Psychology, we fully enjoyed being under the guid- ance of so earnest and helpful a teacher. THE NORMALOGUE will Miss MARY Louisa BARIGHT Framingham, Mass. Teacher of Story-Telling, Language, Literature, Oral Composition and Expression. On our Normal sundials, which mark the hours that shine, every minute spent with Miss Baright will be recorded. Surely Miss Baright is always building cathedrals. Since she has so well guided us in the strengthening of our characters, we shall try to build up the characters of our children in the same manner. May she go on erecting cathedrals for many years. 9 Without the loyal support and friendship Venable, we could not hope to have gained field of worthwhile knowledge. The Class MR. WALLACE H. VBNABLE North Adams, Mass. Teacher of Botany, Gardening and Zoology of Mr. such a of '26 never forget the happy days spent in nature walks, in the garden and in the laboratory, for with these various things in mind we shall be able to do great things in our schools. THE NORMALOGUE 'QQ' Miss ANNIE C. SKEELE St. Petersburg, Fla. Teacher of Hygiene and Physical Education 1897- 1925 When the North Adams Normal School was founded, it was very fortunate in securing the services of Miss Skeele in connection with the Hygiene and Physical Education Departments. During her entire period of service, Miss Skeele carried'on her work faithfully and earnestly, ever ready to assist and to advise. We shall alwags remember the stationary basket-ball games, the hikes in the spring-time and the various activities on the lawn in which Miss Skeele took no small part. Although sorry to lose Miss Skeele, we are glad that she is at least able to enjoy a well deserved rest from her long period of service. Miss ALMA PORTER Needham, Mass. Teacher of Hygiene and Physical Education Although we regretted losing one so long connected with our school, we soon found out that Miss Skeele's place had been ably filled by Miss Porter. Through- out the entire year she has shown herself a true friend and an efhcient leader in our Physical Edu- cation work. Not only in our work has Miss Porter manifested an interest, but in our recreation as well. Willingly has she given up many hours outside of school to help us enjoy games in basketball and tennis. Although under Miss Porter's guidance but one short year, only, the Seniors can realize what this year's training has meant to them. 10 THE NORMALOGUE A-H MISS ALICE OWEN North Adams Mass Teacher of Primary Reading and History of Fdu cation How happy we are that Mark Hopi ins could sacrifice this worthy teacher whose bright and cheerv smile has encouraged us through two gears of Normal School! Never shall we forget how conscientious she proved to be, by attending school so faithfully though handicapped by her broken arm Her originality and spontaneity have indelibly impressed themselves upon our hearts Miss EVELYN C. PERRY North Adams, Mass. Teacher of Music and Arithmetic Would North Adams Normal School be normal without Miss Perry, whose exceptional talents have made every one of us enjoy music much more? Her artistic temperament, supplemented by her extra- ordinary gift as a teacher, will inspire us when we are in the field. 11 A-E THE NORMALOGUE MR. ALBERT G. ELDRIDGE North Adams, Mass. Teacher of Geography, History and Civics, Pro- fessional Ethics, and Economics As a helpful teacher, Mr. Eldridge has thoroughly instilled into our minds many worthwhile suggestions. We all desire to promulgate the high ideals set before us in Ethics and Economics. The Senior Class will remember Mr. EldrIdge as a 'true teacher, with unfailing help for all in every difficulty. We are also thankful to know that Mr. Eldridge so thor- oughly understands the Class of '26. Miss BERTHA M. Si-roLEs North Adams, Mass. Teacher of Handwork, Sanitation, Cooking and Sewing How swiftly the hours would fiy by in Miss Sholes' classes! As a preparation for future life, we could have received no better training in Domestic Science and Sanitation. Miss Sholes' kind and helpful atti- tude in always being ready to help us along in our various activities, has proven to us that she is indeed a true friend. 12 THE NQRMALOGUE Miss FANNIE A. BISHOP Willimatic, Conn. Teacher of Kindergarten Theory MR. THOMAS CUMMINGS North Adams, Mass. Teacher of Manual Training In spite of the fact that we had Mr. Cummings but a short time, how much we enjoyed being under his helpful instruction! How patiently he taught us to wield saws, hammers and planes as We con- structed various useful articles! We regret that we did not have more time in the pleasant and inter- esting classes of Mr. Cummings. , If life at Normal were not so busy, those not taking Kindergarten Course would come more in contact with Miss Bishop and would learn to l-:now better that something about her which charms Normal girls as Well as the tiny tots just entering school. Miss Bishop is always ready to give of herself to others, but the way in which she aids most perhaps is by making us conscious of her high ideals, which she constantly raises as she reaches each goal. 13 .t THE NORMALOGUE Miss ELLZABETH JENKINS North Adams, Mass. Supervisor of Extension Department, and Rural Demonstration Schools, Teacher of Rural Edu- cation We are certainly glad to have had the privilege of becoming better acquainted with Miss Jenkins, by having her as our very efficient substitute in Psy- chology class. The Class of '26 looks forward to seeing her again next year in our own little schools, when perhaps she will become better acquainted with each of us, finding out whether we have chosen to apply the modern methods in which she is so proficient. Miss GRACE L. DoNELsoN Colrain, Mass. Librarian Always to be found when we need her, we often wonder how and why Miss Donelson is so artful in dodging those speeches which occasionally we hear she is going to deliver for our benefit. However, this is not the only way in which she is artful. The knees of a culprit may well tremble when returning a borrowed encyclopedia. However, Miss Donel- son scolds psychologically if a scolding is necessary, and we shall be glad to greet her upon our return to future Alumni Banquets. 14 THE NORMALOGUE Miss BERTHA ALLYN Holyoke, Mass. Secretary of the Extension Department Hectographs! Printed Sheets! Miss THERESA FERGUSON North Adams, Mass. Secretary At any moment of the day, Miss Ferguson, a faithful and cheerful worker, could be found ready to assist us in any sort of difficulty which we might encounter. The Seniors will miss going to her office to receive various reports or pay envelopes, and we hope future classes will grow to know and love her as well as we have. According to the laws of psychology, Miss Allyn's name will recall these plus tireless activity and Willing cooperation with the N. A. N. S. '26. Not only did she work with us, but she played with us in the same spirit, 15 NORMALOGUE MRS. BLANCHE GELLIS North Adams, Mass. Assistant Matron Our appreciation of Mrs. Gellis cannot be fully stated in words. As a faithful, lovable, kind-hearted assistant in the dormitory, she is highly esteemed in the hearts of all. Her untiring service day and night, answering the doorbell, telephone, and ringing for the girls in such a systematic and efficient man- ner, has proved to us her spirit of love and devotion. In the years to come we shall always remember our own dear Mrs. Gellis, and we wish for her much happiness, MRS. THERZA VAN ETTEN North Adams, Mass. House Matron What a distinguished, stately lady! What a fine representative of North Adams Normal School! Words we hear from the lips of every stranger: our own words as she welcomed us to Taconic Hall. For two years we have lived under her loving, watch- ful care, and we know she is all that and more. Mrs. Van is a very kind friend, always interested and helpful in planning affairs of the house. Next year in our schools far away, we will miss our dear House-Mother and appreciate her even more than we do now. 16 THE NORMALOGUE I . 4 ! V f U .is 5CANDAL! HAIL! HA u L!

When we came back in September, we welcomed May into our fold. We have found that this member of our class is very conscien- tious, so conscientious that many of us have not learned to know her as much as we would have liked to. Because of her successful teaching before coming here, and because of her faithful work while at Normal, we have no doubt as to what May's future will be. FLORENCE ELDER BATES UFLOSSIEY' Ashfield, Mass. Wherever she may go, she will always have a host of friends, for it is a gold mine to have a pal like Flossie ! Those who know her intimately, love her and regret that because of an operation she was taken from us in the middle of her Senior year. We thought she was such a modest girl, but what did we espy on her finger when she re- turned from her Christmas vacation? We are sorry that we cannot share her happiness, yet we know that it will still be complete. GERALDINE BELANGER GERRY 48 Brooklyn Street North Adams, Mass. Senior Playg Class Vamp Here's to Gerry the class vamp! One look at her, and you would agree with me that the class had done justice to themselves when they gave Gerry this title. Gerry is one of our social butter- flies and her presence not only graces our dances, but also many of the big affairs of the city. If you hear the remark, Isn't her dress darling? you might be sure they are referring to Gerry, GRACE GERTRUDE BITZER UGRACIEH 16 Chestnut Street Turners Falls, Mass. Council C133 Glee Club Cl, 233 Senior Play The Class of '26 would not be complete without Grace and her sunny smile. Whenever the class wants a thing well done it always finds an efficient worker in Grace. A girl who is more willing and dependable we can never find, and with her reserved humor we have a lovely girl and a true friend. As for teaching, we know her school will be her pride, and the community in which she teaches will have just reason for being proud of her. 20 -Y I- THE NORMALOGUE RUTH BUsHNELL BODINE RUTHu3 119 Spring Street Bennington, Vt. Glee Club C1, 27 Although not many would know it, Ruth is one of the best workers and one of the most ambitious members of our class. You would never guess, by her unpretentious attitude, that Ruth is one of our more experienced sisters. As for fun! When we want a good time we are sure of it, if she is to be among the revelers. Doms ALTHEA BRICKHILL JEss 9 Acacia Street, Fall River, Mass. Prettiest Bobg Cutest Senior Playg Normalogue Staffg Axis 412i Though small of stature her sweet voice penetrates far and furiously. As she is always enthusiastic and animated, we can well believe that she will keep her children on their toes. We are glad that she has a position near home, for this will surely lessen her concern about that certain party. DOROTHY JOAN BRUTON Dor 7 47 VVashington Street, Quincy, Mass. Prettiest Council C133 Basketball i253 Senior Playg Normalogue: Axis Staff t2l Throughout our course here at Normal School, Dot has secured and held our affection by her beauty and winning personality, just as in the class play she held our attention with her dancing. We are sure that throughout her life she will continue to hold our admiration with the successes which are sure to be hers. RUTH CALDERWOOD RUFUS 59 Fairbeld Street, Springfield, Mass. Best Poised Axis Staff lllg Senior Play Tall, stately and well poised is Ruth. She is always trying to convince us of her ignorance of the aliairs of the world, but sometimes we wonder-. We hope her fondness for red hair will not lead her to any drastic measures. Don't forget to send us cards from Europe in 1930. 21 65 THE NORMALOGUE cfm C ill .Z !l'.' I M - Louisa MALVINA CHICOINE Ware, Mass. Glee Club C253 Council C255 Basketball C25 Behold our fair Louise with her rare qualities of courage and per- severance! Seldom do we find a girl with so many divided interests, who is so faithful and loyal to her school. 13 is a lucky number for those who know Louise. Ever eager, ever willing, a helping hand to lend to those who need assistance, to all alike, a friend. MARCIA GROVER CHURCH Pine Street, North Amherst, Mass. Basketball C25 Did you say that teachers were old maids? Well, I guess you don't know Marcia, our eighteen year old lass. She seems to be very interested in her studies and also in waiting on table. To justify this statement, it is necessary to explain that she arose one morning, made her preparations to wait on table, and when she glanced at the clock, found that it was only 2 A. M. Perhaps you can imagine what hap- pened next. All of us have not learned to know Marcia as well as others, but one thing that we all have learned is that whenever a help- ing hand is needed she is always ready to loan hers. HAZEL VERONICA CONNOR HCONNIEH 45 Converse Street, Palmer, Mass. Friendliest Girl Basketball C255 Glee Club C1, 25 Connie and her ever ready Mentholatum earned for her the honor of being the friendliest in the class. But she has other enviable qualities also. Because her strong alto voice can be heard whenever she is a member of any singing group, she easily maintained her place in Glee Club for two years. But Connie is athletic, too, for in her Senior year she played the difficult position of side-center on the basket- ball team. Such a popular, kind-hearted friend cannot fail in the teaching profession. ALICE MCCANE CORCORAN Glendale, Mass. Glee Club C25 A friend to all, and one loved by all is Alice. How often have we observed her at her work and marvelled at her tireless efforts and un- daunted courage. The Class of '26 sincerely hopes that through the years to come, her cheery manner and Winsome smile may win for her as many friends as it has in the past. 2? ,,,,,g, THE NORMALOGUE LYNDAL Hasrlsa CRANSON LYNN ULINNIEU Williamsburg, Mass. Class Orator Senior Play Co' Boss! Co' Boss! Shall we ever hear these words without Lyndal's coming before our minds? Whenever she arose to speak, Friends, Romans, Countrymen sat up and took notice. Lyndal looks very demure, but in this case, at least, appearances are deceiving. ISABEL Louisa. CROCKER Is 222 Eagle Street, North Adams, Mass. Most Tastefully Dressed Senior Play The most engaging young lady in the class is Isabel, who is interested in our local High School. Like a queen in her coach, she is driven to and from school everyday. Her mass of golden hair and tasteful clothes make her one of our most attractive school-mates. MARGARET CECELIA CROWLEY 155 North Street, Williamstown, Mass. Silence is Strong Who is one of our most ambitious girls in N. A. N. S.? Margaret Crowley, as we all know, will never give up a task until she has ac- complished it, no matter how hard it may be. Hard-working, reliable, conscientious, Margaret, always ready to help others, when it is in her power to do so. Let us think of Margaret as a friend. Have you ever known her to be unkind or unfriendly to anyone? Dear Margaret, we all wish you the best of success in your chosen profession. No matter how far you may be from the girls of the Class of '26, you will always be remembered in their hearts, as a true, honest friend and co-worker. ALICE CUMMINGS AL 213 Eagle Street, North Adams, Mass. Here's Al the girl who never minds cold weather, for to her it's always Luke -warm, and as for riding in Buicks, that speaks for itself. Al always greets you cheerfully, and is one of the best friends a girl can have. As for her ability as a teacher, ask any of the children she has taught this year how they like her. Alice loves to dance. We don't see how the K. of C. balls and dances could get along without her. We all hope that she follows the teaching profession, but at times, it seems doubtful. Good luck, Al 23 -in THE NORMALOGUE MARY ANNA DAHOWSKI Deerfield, Mass. Class Secretary C155 Glee Club 1255 Council C25 Whenever someone is needed to have charge of returns from tickets, pamphlets, or books, Mary is the nominee. Although Mary has not been in the limelight, she is ever a reliable and dependable worker. We wonder if she will always continue to budget her time. GWENDOLYN DAMON UGWENH Colrain, Mass. If she will she will, and you can depend on't, and if she won't she won't, and there's an end on't. Gwen's mind was always firmly made up until it came to the question of letting it grow or shingling it again. We hope that she has made a final decision, for the suspense is unbearable. Her friends know, however, that in the Great Decisions of life, Gwen will know no hesitation. MILLIE RUTH DANSEREAU MIL 35 Main Street, Haydenville, Mass. Basketball C253 Senior Play Many of us regret that there was no opportunity to vote for our most tactful girl, for Millie would have had all our votes. An all around good sport is Millie, ever ready to participate in the activities of the school. HELEN M.ARIE DOWLING 60 Classic Street, Hoosick Falls, N. Y. Best Dancer, Most Graceful Senior Playg Glee Club Cl, 255 Class Treasurer H255 Basketball C25 While at Normal, Helen could always be seen Hitting about as betits our most graceful girl. Indeed she might well be called the Peter Pan of the Senior Class. As treasurer, she hunted up the laggard debtors and forced them to surrender the slender contents of their pocketbooks. 24 THE NORMALOGUE ui FRANCES SARAH DRURY FRANKIE 120 Pleasant Street, Amherst, Mass. Most Punctual Council C155 Glee Club Q1, 253 Senior Play: Normalogue Staff Frankie seems to be very quiet and timid, till you know her. Then you will find she is sometimes quite the opposite. We are sure that she viill be successful in her chosen profession, if she gets her pupils as interested in their work as she had the dormitory girls in what they thought was a frat pin. SALLY A. FILLEBROWN SAL Harrub's Corner, Plympton, Mass. Axis Staff C273 Normalogue Staff, Glee Club Cl, 23 What would some of us do if it were not for Sally, for here is a girl with whom you can always discuss the weighty problems of the moment? In deliberating, let us not forget her decided artistic temperament. No small wonder our little Sally hasn't gained in weight when she has carried her share of the responsibility of the Axis and Normalogue so efficiently. ISABELLE AGNES FLAHERTY IssY 39 Henry Avenue, Pittsfield, Mass. Most Considerate Basketball C235 Council C23 Whenever there was an especially unpleasant task to be done Is could always be counted on to help. There was no need of an ency- clopedia when she was around, for she could supply the needed infor- mation. We think, because of her fondness for mothering Juniors, that she would make a fitting matron for an orphan asylum. CECILE P1-ULOMEN GOBEILLE HCEILH Williamstown, Mass. Class Athlete College athletes are not generally classed as people endowed with superfluous gray matter, but Cecile is an exception to the rule. Besides being a shining star in the athletic firmament, she breaks the tape in classroom and training school activities. We know that N. A. N. S. is going to be proud of her future records. 25 A-E THE NORMALOGUE ANGELINE CECELIA GOODALL NANCY 444 Winthrop Street, Winthrop, Mass. Prettiest Eyes Class Vice President QU, Glee Club C1, 25, Senior Play Angy is a good athlete, a friend to all, and one of the jolliest girls in our midst. When Angy played the role of Miss Pritchard in the play, we imagined what a sweet middle-aged woman she would become. Then, whenever we think of Angie , we will recall the times she let us enjoy her fine voice in chapel. MARGARET GERTRUDE HAGGERTY Adams, Mass. Most Likely to Succeed Senior Play Take one part tall blondness, work into it a breezy laugh, mix it thoroughly with a cheerful presence. Sift together equal parts of good thinking, cooperativeness and stick-to-it-iveness, fold in some good comradeship, and add to the above mixture. Flavor with a sense of humor, pour into a broadminded mold, and bake in the heat of human understanding. This is how we got our Margaret. HELEN ANDERSON HAIG NELLiE Williamstown Road, Williamstown, Mass. Wittiestg Peppiest Class Play They say that good things come in small packages, but who could imagine that Nellie would contain such a wealth of mirth and vivac- ity. Her witty remarks have kept us in peals of laughter. To be with Nellie for an hour is a veritable circus entertainment. As a dancer she excels. We know that Helen will joke and dance her way through life, stopping occasionally by the wayside for real achievements. EDITH C. HERRICK EDEN Park Street, Housatonic, Mass. Basketball Q25 When you haven't the right thing to wear to a certain place Eden is the one to go to, for she has just what you want. No other has been more ohliging, and what will some of us do when she isn't around? We are sure Eden will be remembered as one of the most athletic of our members. 26 1 THE NORMALOGUE FLORENCE CECELIA HUNT 273 West Street, Pittsfield, Mass. Five feet Iwo, eyes of blue Bu! oh! what Ihosc fine feet can do! Florence flits hither and thither among her classmates, uncom- plainingly doing her share of work. Though last year succumbing to the greater attractions of Pittsfield, she left us each week-end, this year she decided to favor us with more of her companionship. She may be quiet and unassuming while performing her daily tasks, but she can, when occasion demands, reveal the spirit of joyous fun that lies within her. Because she has shown her willingness to work in her two years here, we are sure she will become a most successful teacher. EVELYN MAY HUNTER Ev Ashfield, Mass. Council C153 Glee Club C1, 251 Senior Play Is there anyone in the dormitory who hasn't heard Evelyn's laugh echoing through the corridor at 9:30 or some other time? Besides this ability to create a cheerful atmosphere, Evelyn has proved to us, by doing so well in Daddy Long Legs , that she can also take the part of a crabby trustee, in spite of her cheery disposition. In years to come, the class of '26 will never be complete without her smiling face. MARGARET HUTCHINS Windsor, Vermont Class President C133 Glee Club Ili We had Margaret with us for only one short year, but during that time we learned to love her. Although she was rather small. she was one of the vivid, charming girls with lots of vim and pep. She made many friends here, and will always make many more wherever she goes. She is one of the outstanding girls, not only because of her per- sonality, but because of her Uwomanly charm of long hair. We re- gret that Margaret left us to rule a school, and that she did not come back to finish her Normal course with us, but we shall never forget her. RUTH ANNIS KEDDIE Miss KEEDIEH 1138 Pleasant Street, Worcester, Mass. Best Sport, Most Lovable Glee Club Q23 The Senior vote in the class statistics alone shows what Ruth Keddie means to all of us. Although she has been with us but a short time, she has endeared herself to the hearts of the Juniors as well as the Seniors. We have all benefited by, and thoroughly enjoyed, having Ruth tell of her many experiences and impressions of the West. 27 THE NORMALOGUE A. ll ANITA LEE KEI.LoGG HNITAH 10 Warren Avenue, Great Barrington, Mass. Whenever you need good advice, a pencil, book, or pen, just go to Nita . That's the place where you will find these things. A special -yes, especially good in so many lines that it is difficult to determine in which she excels. Among her specialties are athletics, and her abilities in basketball and on the ice deserve special mention. Her qualities of cheerfulness and optimism have won for her many friends among the Senior Class. DORIS EVELYN KIRBY DOT 177 Elm Street, Pittsfield, Mass. Glee Club Cl, 25 Doris is a friend in need and a friend indeed . Those of us who know Doris intimately realize the value of such a true friendship. When one knows her as many of us do, one will learn of her passion for certain photographs and other pictures. We know, too, that she gets a great deal of excitement merely from the thoughts of a Dance. Dot is a girl of fine character, and of course a little frivolity is perfectly per- missable. MADELINE LAHEY UINIIKEH Orchard Street, Adams, Mass. Glee Club 11, 25, Class Playg Secretary Q22 Mike , as her name implies, is one of the jolliest, liveliest, girls in our class. She's the life of the lunch room, and judging from the dishes she used to bring to our parties, Mike is some cook. Ted is lucky, I'll say! Her burdens during her Senior year have been heavier, since she was one of our class officers, but nevertheless, she managed to have time for our dance, and Mike can surely dance. GRACE EDITH LAMB LAM8IE 940 Holmes Road, Pittsfield, Mass. Senior Play She may be little, but size isn't everything. If one hears a witty remark of any kind, she may be sure that Lambie is the originator. Goodness! Who let out that laugh? Why Lambie , of course, for as some would say, it is so peculiarly her own that one would know it anywhere. Is she a good business woman? Just watch her some noontime, in the stock room where the angry mob is waiting for supplies. As an orphan in the play, she won the heart of the audience. 28 in.-,Egg-H THE NORMALOGUE EARLINE JULIENNE LAWRENCE Lyman Street, South Hadley, Mass. Glee Club 61, 23 Without haste, without rest, we find Earline calmly pressing on toward the realization of her great ambition. Though ofttimes burdened with her own cares and responsibilities, she does not forget to lighten the burdens of those around her. May Earline learn through her Glee Club training to sing away sorrow and cast away care. VIOLA FANNIE LESURE VI Ashfield, Mass. Most Reliable: Done Most For '26 Axis Editor C255 Normalogue Editor: Glee Club Cl, 23, Council C23 Senior Play Attention, ye Dictionarians! V-I-O-L-A is a synonym for S-E-R- V-I-C-E. Upon her shoulders has rested the burden of our literary success. More capable shoulders could not have been found. To show her loyal class spirit, she bravely sacrificed her locks at the altar of manhood. After her triumph as Jervis Pendleton in the class play, Vi has had more proposals than she can attend to. To a most en- joyable companion, a sincere worker, and an all-round sport, we extend our appreciation for untiring service to the Class of '26, HILDA Rosauis: MCDONOFJGH HIL Elm Street, Lenoxdale, Mass. Basketball C23 To most of us the name Hilda McDonough is a synonym for pep and enthusiasm. Whatever Hilda attempts, she does with vim and vigor, therefore we know that each task will be completed. As a mem- ber of the Senior Basketball Team, during the game with the Juniors, she showed her prowess in this activity. When it comes to instructing in modern dancing, Hilda's capabilities are unquestioned. ADA K.ATHEfiINE MCSWEENEX' TONY 19 Church Street, Pittsneld, Mass. Council i253 Basketball C29 Do we know her? Yes! but only as Tony , for she is ever the same, always wearing a sunny smile. We admire her velvety blue eyes so typical of the colleen , as well as her ready Irish witj But this is not all. She can be a leader, a follower and a helper, ever ready to do her part or to do someone else's part. People like Tony are needed in this world, and we hope the Lord has not destroyed the pattern. 29 .A-B THE NORMALOGUE ALICE MICHELSEN AL 66 Pearl Avenue, Revere, Mass. Best Natured Glee Club C 1, 253 Basketball C253 Vice President of Council C25 Here's to Al , the best natured girl in the Senior class. Such was our very wise decision. Al is never cross, even when things don't go her way. Take a bit of advice, girls, and have Alice as your friend. She has seemed very much interested of late in a little town not far from here. We wonder why? She also seems quite anxious to have Stew on her daily menu. Queer! HELEN IRENE MooDY UPICKYH 955 Dalton Avenue, Pittsfield, Mass. Prettiest Long Hair Axis Staff C153 Council C25 Woman's crowning glory used to be her hair, until the barbers acquired wisdom. Helen, however, believes in the old-fashioned stan- dards, for which her classmates are eternally grateful. Long hair, short wit as an adage has been disproved by her fine scholastic ability. We are all unanimous in expressing the hope that Helen's future may be as full of achievements as her amazing notebooks were full of material. FLORENCE ELIZABETH MOORE PEG 498 Park Avenue, Worcester, Mass. Axis Staff C153 Glee Club C1, 25 Florence has made us her debtors by very ably disclosing to us our futures, our virtues and our vices. Her friendliness and pleasing smile have won for her a permanent place in our hearts. ESTHER MINNIE MORGAN UESTYH Northfield, Mass. Music Contest Leader C153 Class President C255 Glee Club Cl, 253 Council C25 Leaders are needed in this age, and when our class needed a leader, wc found in our midst one capable and willing to bear the cross and crown of Class President. Although Esty has had other attractions during these two years, she has not for one short second let them inter- fere with duties to her class or to her studies. Look the world over for a face so welcome, a smile so kindly, a heart so true, a hand so will- ing, a mind so keen or a singing voice so beautiful. God makes people like Esther to improve the world. 30 I THE NORMALOGUE MARION MAGDALENE MoRGANsoN PEANUT Rutland, Vermont Axis Staff C153 Senior Play Perhaps none has expressed so well the enjoyment of the pleasant times she has had at N. A. N. S. as Peanut . Always the sound of that merry-hearted peal of laughter which fills our lives with sunshine, suggests our Marion. She will always be happy, for she thinks right, she does right, and thus makes her life worth living. Two purposeful, worthwhile years she has spent here, and we are proud to see that she has been rewarded in more ways than one. D. ANN MORRIER JIMMY Lenox, Mass. Best All-Around Girl, Most Happy-Go-Lucky Senior Play: Axis Staff C293 Normalogue Staff Is she present? Yes! every bit, but she is not heard until she has something worth saying, either serious or humorous, more often the latter. Many did not realize the talent possessed by our Ann until they saw her in the Class Play, where she had the opportunity to show the stuff that's in her. She is a gem, a peacemaker in trouble, and a Peter Pan . Yes! she is everything that makes her the best all- around girl. We have been favored with her presence, and we'envy those who will enjoy her from this time forth. RUTH MARGARET NAGLE 14 Orchard Terrace, North Adams, Mass. Basketball Captain C29 When in future years, we look back on our Normal life, the figure that will stand out in all our memories is that of Ruth Nagle. As captain of the Basketball Team, she filled her position admirably. Her stunning appearance, to which her good looking bob and well chosen clothes contributed greatly, gained our admiration. Her car, which she shared generously, was found especially convenient on Geog- raphy walks and other trips. MARJORIE HELEN NICHOLS MARGE 1010 State Road, North Adams, Mass. Best Singer Glee Club Cl, 23 When the last note dies away upon the breeze, we shall think of Marge and her beautiful voice. A voice like hers is a treasure which we have greatly enjoyed during our stay at N. A. N. S. Although Marge is a town girl, she has many friends in the Dormitory whom she has won through her noble life and comradeship. We love her, and we know that her nobleness will be reechoed in songs of service around the world in the years to come. 31 .A-it THE NORMALOGUE THERESA NOLAN UTHERESH Main Street, Lenox, Mass. Most Persevering Theres is the girl who plays havoc with those blue eyes of hers. Any number of boys from North Adams or surrounding towns can tell you that. Lately, she has been very anxious to go down street after school. Why? Girls if you ever want some one to go out with you for a good time, or you need to borrow something, just ask Theresa. In her good natured way, she is always willing to be your friend. Theres has spent a great deal of her time, however, in studying and deserves the title Most Perseveringf' HELEN RAFFERTY RAFF 233 Depot Street, Bennington, Vt. Class Dreamer Glee Club Cl, 233 Senior Play Still waters run deep, and so do Helen's thoughts. She is our class dreamer and often seems many miles away, but is always think- ing seriously about the question on hand, as we know by the brilliant reeitations she makes in Psychology class. Taking the part of Freddie in the Class Play, Helen showed her extensive dramatic ability, and we wish her the best of luck in this profession as well as in her teaching. RUTH FRANCES REYNOLDS Pomeroy Avenue, Pittsfield, Mass. Glee Club C2l She came to us full of the wisdom that belongs to the experienced teacher. But even the wisest and the most learned have their tem- peramental moods. During a reckless moment, Ruth-can you imagine it?-bobbed her hair. However, it has not affected her good nature, her reliability, and her helpfulness.. It was a pleasure to work with you, Ruth, and we are sure that you will succeed in all endeavors. ELIZABETH ANNA RHOADES DUsrY Canaan, Conn. Class Scholar Basketball C235 Axis Staff 425: Senior Playg Normalogue Staff Lan' sakes! -All the cheerful optimism of Mrs. Wiggs and Lizzie Semple have been handed down to Dusty . She is the rein- carnation of those characters in the form of a 10021, .American girl, jolly, the best of sports, a model student and et cetera sad infinitum. In our class constellation she stands out, a shining star. We lesser lights can hardly sing her praises enough. The words Achievement and Elizabeth Rhoades go hand in hand. 32 niggas-H THE NORMALOGUE DOROTHY MARY ROBARE DOT Charles Street, North Adams, Mass. Glee Club Cl, 235 Axis C235 Normalogue If we had decided upon a Class Chatter Box for the statistics, I am sure that Dot would have received a large number of the votes. The fire of her volubility remains unquenched by gymn showers and unbroken from falling off ladders. And we must concede that a girl who can make merry in the face of impending exams is well fitted to meet the trials of life as a school teacher. FLORENCE ISABEL ROCKWOOD BUDDY 406 Gage Street, Bennington, Vt. Senior Play5 Basketball C23 Buddy is decidedly a hail fellow well met sort of person. The old second division of the Junior year will long remember her as a lively, vigorous gym captain. We all may well be envious of Buddy's Hne health and physique. MARION RYAN DiNGL1NG Maple Street, Hinsdale, Mass. Glee Club C235 Senior Play Who just gave that mischievous giggle in Economics class? There are three guesses allowed, but the Hrst is sure to strike it right, Ding- ling Ryan of course. She's just bubbling over with fun, as anyone can tell by a glance into those sparkling brown eyes. Dingling's witty answers have pulled her out of many a tight place. Have you ever heard Marion sing in assembly? A Thursday morning program is incomplete without her. As an Orphan in the class play Marion was more than enjoyable. JULIA LOUISE SANDBERG JUDY Wendell Depot, Mass. Senior Playg Basketball C235 Axis Staff C235 Council C235 Normalogue Staff Julia, the incomparable! One moment she is an orator, the next, an accomplished actress, always an ideal student. She made an adorable Judy in the class play and not only won the heart of Jervis Pendleton, but captivated an entire audience. We can pay her no higher tribute than to say that she is everybOdy's pal. In the dim yesterday's of memory, her face will always stand out with a crown of golden hair and lit up with a charming smile of friendship. 33 in THE NORMALOGUE - VERA ANNA SEARS HPEWEEH 339 High Street, Dalton, Mass. Most Artistic Basketball i253 Glee Club 125, Axis Staff fl, 253 Normalogue Staff There are many Veras but none perhaps like ours, because she has proved to be a little genius in two lines. First she shows the rare talent of an artist, and second, that of a poet. With these gifts she has helped to make the Axis as well as the Normalogue a success, to say nothing of her class work. Pewee has a big future and she will always be happy, writing, drawing, or making something which will be worth mention. AGNES NoRA SHEA MAGGIE Ashland Street, North Adams, Mass. Though one of the hardest workers in the class, Ag Shea is never too rushed to pause a moment for a cheery word to any down-hearted class mate. Ag's even tempered sweet nature is an important but rare characteristic of a good teacher. The entire class admired her accuracy in making baskets in Stationary last year. Her capacity for work seems unlimited, for though she does a great deal of hard work outside of school, she almost never enters any class unprepared. Ross DOROTHY SIMKIN HBIMBOU 30 Prospect Street, Pittsfield, Mass. Most Original, Most Artistic Basketball 625g Glee Club Cl, 253 Class Banner Whether your favorite dish is candy or pickles you will still like Rose. She has as many sides to her character as a daisy has petals, yet we must not forget that here is a girl of many and varied talents. Without Rose, our Class Banner would have lacked the distinction which her artistic ability supplied. Two handfuls of willingness, a heart full of generosity, a soul full of cheerfulness, a mind full of thought- fulness, and a generous sprinkling of individuality blended together make a perfect friend-Rose. HELEN BARDWELL STACY B Shattuckville, Mass. Most Dignified Glee Club Cl, 253 Council C25 Sedate and dignified, we have in our midst one of those girls who when you get her alone drops her mask of reserve and is as full of fun and jollity as any of us. So learned was she in the lore of teaching that all who taught with her felt as important as the depths of infinity. To show her great class spirit, she kept us all from starvation. Helen's personality is made up of a handful of honor, plenty of golden friend- ship, lots of sincerity and loyalty, with just a dash of spice and intrigue to make her interesting. 34 'PHE NORMALOGUE MARGARET MARY STANTON PEG 21 Second Street, Pittsfield, Mass. Council Ill, Senior Playg Basketball 625 Because Peg is so jolly we like to be near her to catch the spirit of laughing, bubbling happiness. But could we find a harder or more honest worker, a better friend or a more thoughtful classmate? She has been a thinker, and a willing pianist. We feel sure that she will be a progressive and lovable teacher. As butler in Daddy Long Legs she will never be forgotten. DOROTHY OLIVIA STILES HDOTTIEH Middleboro, Mass. Oh, for a pal like Dottie ! Dorothy has such bewitching eyes, and, best of all, she knows when and how to use them. Her sense of humor always finds a welcome with her many friends. We know that she will make an excellent teacher, but we fear that she may become interested in poultry and may sometime become assistant poultrymarm I instead of a schoolmarm, Amherst is truly an attractive town, but there is a reason for its attractiveness. Ask Dottie about this. SYBIL STUART UBILLYH HSTEWYH Pepperell, Mass. Class Orator Vice President C235 Senior Playg Council f2l Sybil Stuart is a name ever suggestive of honor and loyalty. In her class spirit, which can never be surpassed, she had shown us how easily she as an orator could have the world at her feet. Stewy has served us nobly as Vice President of the class and we are sure that her chariot is hitched to a star. Though we must all part, we know that when Sybil goes out she will be welcomed as a great treasure, one whose influence and presence will be felt wherever the white road leads her. MILDRED INIARGARET SULLIVAN Franklin Street, Bondsville, Mass. We are fortunate in having Mildred numbered among our special students. Although altogether unassuming, she has shown us her true worth as a friend and classmate. We can easily imagine Mildred a successful teacher as perseverance is one of her many virtues. We wish her every success in her future career. 35 QLm THE NORMALOGUE I- ELEANOR MILDRED SWANN HSWANNEEH 79 East Quincy Street, North Adams, Mass.

Eleanor is very active and she is so interested in sport, that we think she is going out for golf. Of course we know the reason for her choice. MARY RosE SYLVIA ROSIE 21 Page Street, New Bedford, Mass.

IDA RUTH TEKULSKY YEA Bennington, Vt. Glee Club Q25 If you are in need of a walking encyclopedia, just notify Ida Tekulsky. Such afine vocabulary of words as Ida has at her command might rival that of the Professor of English at any college. Ida is not lacking in travel experience, either. This Senior has seen the sun rise and set on at least four different continents and is a very interesting conversa- tionalist. We know she will hypnotize her scholars with her wonderful tales of other countries and will make abridged encyclopedias out of her young Americans. MARION HELEN TEMPLE NAN Colrain, Mass. Shyest Girl Class Banner How surprised we were to see Nan come into the dining room one night with her hair bobbed! Nan was elected the shyest in our class, but this characteristic has not prevented her from making a host of friends while at N. A. N. S. In fact she is a friend to all, and of Marion we may truly say that hers is a friendship worth cultivating. 36 i,5.-.E-gl,-A THE NORMALOGUE WENONAH MAY WEBB NONA Goshen, Mass.

ALICE ELIZABETH WIXTED AL 41 Glover Street, Southbridge, Mass. Smooth runs the water Where Ike brook is deep. Such a quiet girl, yet how we all shall miss her! Though we have known her but one short year, our one regret is that we did not have the privilege of her fellowship in our Junior year. Quiet and demure, she seems to those who know her least, but to those who know her best -well-we leave that part unsaid. DoRoTHY MITCHELL YEOMAN DOT Richview Avenue, North Adams, Mass.

We rejoice in its arrival, having looked forward to its coming, for it means the fulfillment of a promise, the realization of hopes, and satisfaction in a work completed. We have reached another milestone along life's pathway. We pass it with joy in the present and anticipation for the future. It is with this day in mind that we have laboured through trial and error, failure and success. Yet when, in discouragement, this day seemed too remote for achievement, too visionary for accomplish- ment, what has given us new strength and determination but the realization that there were those who cared, who had faith in us, who trusted us to uphold the dignity required for the completion of the task toward which we aspired. The encouragement from you who are interested has aided us in ever keeping the ideal in view. Standards of perfection are ever changing and progressing to the purposeful mind. So the ideal which we have reached has grown to something better. Thus our joy today is in the beginning of a greater, more noble work. Like a gallant knight Gaily bedight, In sunshine and in shadow, Let us journey along, Singing a song, In search of Eldorado. Classmates:- In our striving toward success, we have encountered and overcome many difficulties, difficulties which perhaps kind Fate has placed in our paths that we might grow more patient and sympathetic, that we might learn the lesson of perseverance. But through it all has mingled the tide of perfect friend- ships, cemented in love and sincerity. We have shared disappointments and pleasures, and thrilled at another's ambitions. We shall be loathe to leave these halls where we have experienced so much true happiness. As a rosebud grows and unfolds its petals to receive the warmth and light of the sun, so we, in- dividually, have grown to receive and appreciate the inspiration and knowledge from you who have been fitted to guide us here. No words can express the gratitude we would showg no thanks can be sufficient to repay our debt to you. In our work through years to come, we will follow the white road which leads us on to greater achievements. We leave others to continue to uphold the honor and pre- cedents of this, our Alma Mater. We, the Class of 1926, welcome you to share vsith us the pleasures of our Class Day, and to enter into the joyous spirit that fills our hearts today. Esther Morgan President of Class of '26 40 THE NORMALOGUE Ahhreaa tn jjuniurz EAR Faculty, friends, Juniors and classmates: The time of our parting is drawing nigh, and although there is a feeling of exultation within us at having finished our Normal School course, still there is one of sadness and regret at having to leave our Alma Mater and the many dear friends which we have met here. Someone has said, Youth is the time to make ready for great things by learning small lessons. Is this not what we, as students, have been doing during the past two years? Have we not been taught that each new experience through which we pass is just a stepping stone to something greater for which we are striving day by day? But it is my duty this afternoon to turn toward lighter and more cheerful thoughts, for surely on this day our very souls should echo the joy and mirthfulness which surrounds us. At last dear Juniors, it is our turn to bestow upon you a few words of needed counsel! First, let me say that we leave with you all the honors and privileges which we, as Seniors, have most worthily possessed. Of course we take into consideration the fact that no class can ever do as well as '26. Up- on your return next September, do your utmost to give help to the poor little Juniors, escort them to their respective rooms, introduce them to your host of friends, and above all, make them feel that you enjoy having them as your Junior playmates. Thus aim to support and build the school spirit of N. A. N. S. Just a bit concerning your various classes. Of course, you must bear in mind that, as Seniors, you will have a great deal of responsibility in upholding the standards and dignity of the school. Now, let me give you a hint-during your summer vacation, it would be well for you to gather all the games, devices, and pictures which might lend themselves easily to your work at the training school, for no lesson can be successfully taught unless properly motivated. Four times during the week you will congregate with Mr. Smith for Psychology. Be ever ready with numerous specific illustrations, for undoubtedly you will have need of them. Your classes with Miss Baright will be intensely interesting. There you will have a chance to display some of your hidden talent and possibly you may discover a second Patrick Henry or Julia Marlowe. In Miss Pearson's class you will learn how to reproduce the decorative unit successfully and also how to use your discriminating judgment to good advantages. Besides becoming acquainted with Pestalozzi, Froebel, and the rest in the History of Education course under Miss Owen's direction you will enjoy the many discussions which arise in her Grammar class. Several times during the week you will meet with Mr. Eldridge, where numerous committees will be appointed to carry on group work. And here I warn you, girls, to remember always to take plenty of note-paper to class with you. Management! Here is a class for which you will need to burn-not the mid-night oil, but elec- tricity, in reading reference books and many educational articles. However, with Mr. Carpenter at its head, you will certainly enjoy it. When you are taking up the study of registers, always bring them to class with you, do not leave them at the dorm as an excuse to get the morning mail. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. It may also make dull students, but we do not need to worry, for in Miss Porter's classes you will find plenty of activity and play provided. O, girls! There will also be a chance for you to learn how to become good housekeepers, for Miss Sholes will be constantly furnishing you with new ideas about homemaking in Domestic Science, so listen carefully. You may need them in later life. As Seniors you will be deprived of the happiness of Mr. Cummings' work, but someday perhaps, Seniors may have the pleasure of taking up Woodwork, in which case they will find this cheery teacher always willing to help and direct them. In Mr. Venable's class you will discover how to capture and handle all kinds of poor little bugs, grasshoppers and angleworms. When you go in search of these, do not scream if they jump on you but try to chami them and you will surely be successful. We know that you will enjoy this class and hope that shortly it may be extended through the latter half of the Senior year. 41 THE NORMALOGUE Miss Perry's classes have been a great joy during our two years at Normal. We feel sure that as Seniors you will find this work very helpful to you, especially at the training school. However, re- member that in teaching a rote song you never sing with the children. You will unquestionably spend a most interesting Senior year here. How could it be other- wise with so fine a group of teachers who labor so untiringly to guide us along the long, jagged highway to Success? Our two short years under their careful supervision have been most enjoyable, and we can honestly say that we believe no more admirable faculty can be found anywhere. Now may I give some advice to the dorm girls? It behooves you to follow each council rule religiously, or woe betide you! In spite of the fact that the boyish bob is considered collegiate, you must wear your hats ways over the week-ends. If you must entertain gentlemen, live up to the rule which reads- Gentlemen may be enter- tained in the social room . This, however, does not mean in any of the adjoining rooms. When the monitor knocks Quarter after , do not bellow at her as if she were'some sort of mon- ster ready to seize you, but quietly switch off your lights, say your prayers, and hop into bed. Remember that the Charleston is prohibited, especially in rooms where the ceiling below is weak. If you adhere to these rules strictly you will find Mrs. Van, that lady tall and grand , a really, truly, House Mother. To the Juniors not in the dormitory: Do not try to 'S odge the girls when it is time to remove the desks from the Assembly Hall, for one of those man dances. If you must take home all the books which you possess, find some gallant escort who is willing to help you. Do not tempt the girls too strongly by begging them to go for a ride, because they might disappoint you and accept. And now dear Juniors all, it is time for us to say good-bye. There is much more advice which might be given you. but we do not wish to tax your brains too heavily today. Soon you will reach a place where Two roads diverge in a yellow wood, and the one which you will choose depends upon you-upon the use you make of the gifts and powers you possess-upon your fidelity to the principles of righteousness. Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul, As the swift seasons roll! Leave thy low vaulted past!

Nearby, in a deep, green valley, Over-shadowed by poplars tall, There stands our own loved Normal, Where wisdom, and love, and friendship Are the greatest achievements of all. This a story from Greylock, Of the school which stands on the hill, Built of brick, sun-tanned and golden, With ivy entwining it round. When the sun of hot September Curled the grasses on the lawn, And the leaves hung limp on the poplars, And the birds merely twittered in song, Then a new class of ardent Juniors, Frightened, yet bubbling with hope, Came by rail, and car, and by auto, And gathered here in this hall. Timid they were, and frightened, Each longing, but fearing to speak. They gazed with awe at the Seniors, Those exalted and reverent folk. Finally, one night in September, A party was held in the hall, Where Seniors met Juniors, and Juniors met Seniors, And foundations for friendships were laid. Studies began in the meantime, Studies so strange and new, That the French and Latin of high school Were driven out of view. Then on an eve in October, A night long pined for by all, Music and dance and chatting reigned At the first man-dance of the fall. Though years will come and gray our heads Bringing joys and pleasures in turn, The fun and the mirth of the first man-dance On mem0ry's pages will burn. Every ship that sails the ocean Needs a pilot brave and wise, So our class needed a leader To guide us through our Normal days. Vermont gave our first president, Margaret Hutchins, the friend of all. Quiet and fair through a year's Mad, riotous maze, she led 44 Il THE NORMALOGUE 1 Her classmates. Then in June She left for the teaching field, But her absence can never erase The love and respect of her class With whom she worked and played. So the autumn quickly fiew With work intermingled with play, With hikes and study and parties Till the holiday season came, When to our homes with joy In spite of a blizzard we went. January passed, slowly and quietly passed Till February blustered in With its stormy winds and sleet, Till round us the snow lay piled In drifts so white and deep. Thus our last semester began. With fear and with great forebodings We started our training work, And busy were the days that followed, Filled to the very brim, With teaching and study and planning, With tennis and gardening and trips. But May with blossoms and birds Proved that others had toiled too, Then it was that our Seniors By dint of long, faithful work Presented in memorable manner Hiawatha, their annual play. On the heels of the wonderful product, The days of Commencement came round Where our upper classmen shone, But the brilliancy of their efforts By the tears of our parting, was dimmed. September suns found us returned again, Vacation over and playtime gone For we must now think nobler thoughts As fitted seniors of our school. Within its walls were stranger faces, Faces of the new Junior class. Remembering our own timidity A party of welcome to them we gave, Where names were learned and nick-names given And they in turn made Hallowe'en A long remembered joy to us. That night our teachers dignified, Put off their dignity, for the time, To join with us in ghostly games, Where Laughter reigned, the new crowned king Within our midst another friend We found to lead our class this year, 45 I- 'THE NORMALOGUE H Sweet Esther Morgan was the one We chose to be our President. And for our needed Class Advisor, Chose we then our Art Instructor. Used as we'd grown to strange events Throughout our course at dear old Normal, A most delightful time was had When by our faculty we were led To see Smith's Family Portrait Gallery . Days passed and then all music-lovers Enjoyed our famous Glee Club Concert. Again a man-dance, gay and charming, Held us enthralled for one brief evening. Here followed many other pleasures Enlivening much the hours of teaching. Christmas came and went, too swiftly, And soon the stunning realization That Normal days were surely numbered. Now with our teaching hours increasing, All our days grew full and fuller, Especially in Psychology classes Where the amoeba must be met with. Here were many heated discussions And debates so long and fiery Tried before the Court of Justice Where Mr. Smith, the Judge, presided. Miss Baright's room became for Seniors A place for joy as well as learning. What with stories and dramatizations, With programs, talks and appreciations, Thoughts were wakened, visions broadened, And life took on a deeper meaning. Our path was not all smoothness, But like the brook that leaps the mountain With its rapids and falls to conquer, So we had our disappointments. On an afternoon in springtime Our three teams of loyal Seniors Met, in basket-ball, the Juniors. Though our teams strove long and ably Their struggles were in vain For they lost the battle wholly And dire defeat to Two-six came. Then stormy March gave way to April With work and more work to be done, Yet time was found for our Glee Club In Bennington to sing. Now a new question faced us Seniors, Worrying and disturbing many For we wished to know the places Where next September's suns would find us Will we ever quite forget when the interviews began? 46 THE NOHMALOGUE Yet in spite of fears and tremblings, We began by ones and two's, I' Ere vacation time came round our positions to secure. So one night in early Maytime The girls held a mock man-dance Where the doubles of the faculty Made the welkin ring with laughter. On another night in Maytime, After weeks and weeks of practice, Came the triumphant presentation Of our play dear Daddy-Long-Legs . Other plays may soon be witnessed, But we never can forget The beauty of our Judy, The dependability of Jervis, And the impudence of Jimmie, As well as all the others who put the play across. But perhaps the most of all We'll remember our Directress, Miss Baright and her helpers. Quickly following in succession Came the Alumni to their banquet, Then the Glee Club Concert, And our long-expected Field Day, Where in games and other contests Seniors and Juniors alike excelled. Thus two years have passed before us, Bringing joys and trials, too, Since that day in hot September When we entered Normal School. Still stands the mountain majestic The towering, high-headed Greylock, And about its feet nestle farms and lakes, Beyond them the thundering cities. Nearby, in a deep, green valley, Overshadowed by poplars tall, There stands our own loved Normal Where wisdom, and love, and friendship Are the greatest achievements of all. Elizabeth A. Rhoades, Margaret Haggerty 47 THE NORMALOGUE GIHZE lgrnpherg mE WHO were assigned to the task of writing the class prophecy, labored long and diligently over our work, but seemed to be most unsuccessful because of our inability to vividly imagine the futureg however, a strange occurrence which took place in my room a few days ago solved our difiiculty so thoroughly that writing the class prophecy has proved to be a joy. Knowing that dramatization is one of the best forms of expression, we will try to reproduce that happening for you by this method. As I have mentioned, this most unusual event took place in my room in Taconic Hall. It was growing late and I was very tired trying to arrange futures for forty or more girls, so I began to crab aloud somewhat as followsit O poor me! Here it is half past nine and not a word written yet. I must finish the abominable thing for tomorrow, it must go in with the yearbook material. What do people do anyway? Nurses, doctors, actresses, dancers, IMPOSSIBLE! The girls are all going to teach, of course, and everything that I think of is either too prosaic or too utterly improbable. I've just wasted time, but now I'll be systematic and begin with the B's. Bodine, Bitzer, Belanger, what are their hobbies? Oh if I had only been in their Oral Comp class-guess I'll start the other way. Yeoman, Webb,-CdrowsilyJ- Richman, Poorman----Webb,-Yeoman1-CEnter Father Time dressed in a long black robe, black hood, and carrying a huge book and scythe, white whiskers, etc.J Sybil. Well, I've always heard from other class prophets that they fell asleep and dreamed it, or some- thing to that effect, but I never thought that it came in the form of Santa Claus in mourning. Maybe he's my salvation, I had better keep still and see. Father Time. Realizing your great need of my valuable assistance, I, Father Time, have come to help you. I have here in my book the destinies of all people for years to come, and I can easily tell you the solutions of your problems. Sybil. Oh! Have you everything about us in that big book? An equal to Pandora's box, but if I ask only to see ten years ahead, may it be granted? Father Time nods in a very precise manner. Sybil Casidel. Oh, now if only he doesn't balk or get offended. Just look among the teachers, for it is inevitable that most of my classmates will be found there. Father Time. Nay, nay, child, those left in the profession at the end of the next decade will be found under the more advanced type known as educators. I shall open my volume to E . tHe sighs ponderously and begins to read.J Among the A's I find the name Atkins,--she is to be the renowned author of a set of educational books of the very highest type. In B I find Belanger, Private School in New York City. Is the name Belanger not familiar to you? Sybil. Goodness, yes, but it can't be Gerry! Father Time. Speak not so freely of that of which you are ignorant. Bodine is to be Principal of your Alma Mater, the first woman to hold such an honor at such a youthful age. Cummings, Cummings, Supervisor of Rural Education in this state, and also under C, we find the Corcoran school for ill children. I turn to D, I find listed here Miss Dansereau as Gym teacher at Sargent. The renowned Drury Kindergarten is to be visited by all the leading educators, because of her advanced methods and theories, and to bring this list to a close you will be glad to hear that upon Mr. Frank Wright's retirement, Miss Haggerty will accept his position on the State Board of Education. Grace Lamb is successfully teaching in Miss Rockwood's Select School for Boys, which is in itself a great honor, for Miss Rockwood will have none but the best. Because of their excellent training while in Normal, Mary Sylvia and Mrs. Keddie will be'chosen to succeed Mrs. Van and Mrs. Gellis. Sybil. But that cannot be all the teachers, are you sure there are none that you have omitted? Falher Time. Youth is very bold and assuming to so question the care of wisdom, but age is also patient. I will seek again. Oh, yes, I have skipped one Miss Nichols, the Supervisor of Music, but that concludes the list. fcloses book.D 48 THE NORMALOGUE Sybil. What shall I say now? I must find out more. Er-er-are educators the only persons that you list? Father Time. Your ignorance is acceded only by curiosity, but I am not disconcerted, for that is also an instinct of your age. Child, I list all people, the great, the insignificant, the rich, the workers, all fates are here sealed. Sybil. Then would it not be fair to the rest to tell me of them, too? Please tell me of those who are married. Father Time. You speak to me of fairness? But you are young. M-M-Here it is, 'matrimony'. Sybil. Thanks be, he's off again. I thought I'd stopped him forever. Father Time. Bitzer-The wife of a Colgate Professor of History, who admits that he owes all his success to her never failing aid and inspirations. Connor-She will marry, but her great pro- ficiency in Household Arts is so renowned that she will conduct in addition to her home a school of Home Economics. Crocker, Morganson, Lahey, and Swann are written down among the finest of housewives. Sybil. I'd love to know whom they marry, but after that last lecture I'd never dare ask for fear 'twould upset his disposition completely. ' Father Time. All Miss Flaherty's youthful generosity will follow her thru life, for her rich husband makes it possible for her to give very freely, but he also employs many servants who love their kind mistress and wait on her every desire. Marion Temple will meet the man of her choice in Hawaii, and Agnes Shea will go as far afield to marry a real sheik. Your class president will find all her pedagogical knowledge worth-while in managing a kindergarten quite her own, and last, but in no way least, the inseparable sisters called 'Tony' and 'Peg' will reside in a lovely two tenement house in Pittsfield, and make good use of their knowledge of citizenship by their example of perfect neighborlinessf' Sybil. And those who have not married and are not teachingg can you enlighten me as to their where- abouts'? Father Time. It is not a question of ability, my child, but of wisdom. However, having started I shall proceed. In other professions-I will seek most diligently until all are found. Here I find the Misses Chicoine and Cranson pursuing their hobbies by training dogs and cats for the circus. Here is a Ziegfield Dancer called Dowlingg here a Movie Actress, Ruth Nagle: here is Dorothy Bruton, winner of a Bathing Beauty contestg here, a Principal of a Music Conserva- tory, Reynolds by name. Sybil. Oh, Mr. Ages, you go so fast I can't keep up with you. Father Time. But time is always fiying, and if I remain here too long, I shall get behind on my records. Be silent that I may finish. Miss Kellogg will manage a girls' camp. Here, see! Here is a trustworthy guide for walking tours in Yellowstone Park, a Miss Gobeille, who will live at the Crowley Hotel. Sybil. I never can remember all thisg I crave details. I must resort to what tact I have. Oh, Mr. Time, some days drag. Father Time. Right, child, you do speak sensibly for once. I can afford to go more slowly, but I will classify more exactly for your convenience. Let us look under business-B-B-. First we see the Misses Hunt, Lawrence, and Nolan, who will be found managing the H. L. N. Hat Shop so successfully that even the distinguished art critic, Miss Rose Simkin, can be found wear- ing the H. L. N. hats from one season's end to the next. Because of their great skill in fancy cooking and psychological understanding of the nature of college men, Alice Michelsen and Hilda McDonough will make a great success of their home cooking shop in Williamstown. The Misses Rhoades and Sandberg, with the help of their Superintendent Kidnapper, Miss Ryan, have developed the New England States Teachers' Agency so that it exceeds all others in ef- ficiency. Another employee who proves invaluable to them is Miss Florence Moore, whose 49 THE NORMALOGUE expert ability in judging character at a glance makes her most successful in placing teachers. Miss Ann Morrier Sybil. Oh, I know, she has a hen farm. Father Time. Your infantile habit of interrupting me proves most annoying. Miss Morrier, because of the great inspiration received from Mr. Eldridge's classes, traveled extensively in the Sahara until she made her great discovery, The Sahara Chick , that can live without water, and she is reaping a fortune from her numerous hen ranches. Helen Stacy will continue her habit of dispensing sweets by another type of agriculture work. She is a great modern Scientist in the culture of bee keeping. The profits from her sales will enable her to buy many of the latest model automobiles. In the near future, the North Adams Ten Cent Store and Apothecary Hall will be quite outclassed by the Normal School Specialty Shop run by the Misses Styles, and Robaref' Sybil. I never realized that so many of our girls had business ability: surely there are no others? Faiher Time. Ah! Yes, my daughter, we have four fine dressmaking establishments in different parts of the country managed respectively by the Misses Dahowski, Yeoman, Wixted, and Sears. Then, Marcia Church, because of her great business ability and clever ideas for amusements in general, will make a great success of her Retired Teachers' Home. One of the rooms is occu- pied by Miss Brickhill and her favorite cat. Sybil. What other lines will the children of this Alma Mater follow? Are we to be represented in politics? Father Time. Oh, yes, Sybil Stuart, because of her unsurpassed gift for presenting her thoughts on a case in a strong and convincing manner, will become a speaker in the House of Representatives. Sybil. Not me!- Father Time. Hush! You will be most active in securing support for Miss Tekulsky's work as Ambas- sador to Turkey. But I find no others catalogued under politics. Sybil. Then tell me of the travelers. I had almost hoped to find myself among them. Father Time. Teachers do not travel for the sake of traveling alone. I will look under M and find Missionary. First, here I find Wenonah Webb. After two long years of ceaseless endeavor, she will convince her little class of Filipinos that they must use tooth brushes. Her work on these islands was inspired by the letters received while at Normal School. Miss Fillebrown will do her share, not only as a Missionary, but she will instruct a class of progressive monkeys in the art of evolution. Evelyn Hunter will live up to her name by becoming a big game hunter in Africa, assisted by the able Indian, Miss Kirby. And I will close this list by telling you that Miss Haig has returned to her native land as a very bonnie Highlander. Sybil. Oh, this is most interesting. How far afield will the fame of N. A. N. S. be spread! And are we favored with any home missionaries? Father Time. Right There are two of your number, who will do creditable work in their own country. Helen Moody, with her famous prescription for increasing weight, will do wonders in aiding the children of the New York slums to overcome the effects of malnutrition. And Miss Goodall is destined to be a social settlement worker, also. Sybil. This must be all the class. Is it possible that after all Miss Baright's teaching, '26 is not repre- sented in the field of Literature? Father Time. I must be on my way, but put your mind at rest. You are represented by Miss Rafferty, who is not only an author, but a dramatic critic as well. Also by Miss Lesure, who became so attached to editorship in school, that she has become an editor of a newspaper in Hawaii. One of the biggest features of this paper is the column, published daily, by the Misses Calderwood and Herrick, whose advice to those in matrimonial difficulties or affectionate incongenialities will cause a great stir among the natives. As I have done you this great service, I will remove my presence, but I warn you, take not the credit for this prophecy. Exit. Sybil. N or the blame, either. I don't know whether to believe him or not, do you? Sybil Stuart, M areia Church 50 THE NORMALOGUE 0112155 will mE, THE Class of 1926 of the North Adams Normal School, being about to depart this life of con- centrated mental efiort and launch forth our various careers on the sea of the teaching profession, do hereby graciously will and bequeath those of our valuable possessions as will be of use and service to those whom we sadly leave behind. To Mr. Smith: Several more Sunday School classes to be at the disposal of the Inmates of the Hill School for the frequent man-dances next year. To Miss Pearson: A class, all the members of which will be able to tell a diagonal from a diameter, and to distin- guish between red, green and purple, yellow. To Miss Baright: A well equipped furniture and theatrical costuming establishment, that she need not grow weary chasing up these essentials for the '27 class dramatics. To Miss Sholes: A whole stack of absolutely neat notebooks without a blot, and an infinite number of ques- tions for the day. To Miss Perry: A receptacle for a pocket handkerchief, to be conveniently pinned directly over the heart. Into this, cough drops and pills may also be deposited.

To Mr. Carpenter: A complete four-tube radio set by which to receive first-hand information regarding the exact time of all Normal School classes. Also an escalator, that his natural tendencies may not be discour- aged by the frequent hasty trips up the hill. To Miss Jenkins: A rural school on the shore of Windsor Lake. We hope she will use it to advantage for demon- stration purposes with next year's juniors. This will be a relief from the strain on pocketbooks and limbs. To Miss Donelson: A set of elastic bands to be attached to all library books, that, at the end of two weeks they will snap back from any place whatever where they may have been deposited. To Mr. Eldridge: A mechanical device which, on the ringing of the third bell, will never fail to forcibly eject the class bodily from the room. To Mr. Venables A pair of horses, a plow and two capable men to be ever at his service. These will be handy for getting the garden ready for junior planting before the frost is out of the ground. To Mr. Cummings: A workroom on the first floor. This will shorten the steps of the seniors considerably when they make their frequent calls. To Miss Ferguson.: A toboggan chute to make her many trips down stairs more speedy and comfortable.

We thought it would take the whole period. To Myrtle Garcelon: Elizabeth Fulmer's week-end house parties. To Rose Bruton: Mille Dansereau's tact, to be used in her many arguments. A To Helen Corcoran, Emily Eisenhaur, and Angela Milani: A wholesale bakery establishment that they may never want for the staff of life. To Bobby Shaw and Marion Taylor: Wenonah's and Esther's letters tied neatly with pale blue ribbons. To Ruby Hume and Mary O'Brien: Ruth Nagle's lack of hair. To Helen Crowley and Ethel Gagnon: We rewill the phone calls willed by the class of '25 to Earline and Louise, still apparently in very good condition. To Ruth Foster, Hazel Thomas, Caroline Silvia, Muriel Hall, Dorothy Baker, and Marjorie Allan: Doris Kirby's instinct for conversation at table. To Ethel Beals: Mary Sylvia's two-forty rate of eating. To Winifred Kilbridge and Martha Burt: Evelyn Hunter's book, How to Laugh and Grow Fat Theories .

To Miriam MacCauley: A forty-eight hour day to be used for study only. To Eleanor Parsons and Grace Dullahan: Hilda McDonough's and Marion Ryan's quiet ways. We hope this bequest will have the de- sired quieting effect. To Ellen Andrews: Mary Dahowski's zeal for piano practice with our sympathies to the dwellers of the north wing. To Timmie Thomas and Mildred Hardaker: Ruth Calderwood's complete course in cleaning with high-test gasoline. To Helen McLeod: Frankie Drury's punctuality for use in being prompt at meals. To Barbara Walter: The trade in candy, established by Helen Stacy. We hope she will turn over the profits for the benefit of the class. To Madeline Dunklee: Edith Herrick's ambition for married life. To any tired town girls: Mary Sylvia's and Dot Bruton's room in the dormitory as a club room in which to spend the more tedious school sessions. To Anna Meehan: Mike Lahey's fondness for red-haired men. 52 THE NORMALOGUE To Clarice Halfpenny: Alice Michelsen's attitude of sportsmanship, tried and true. To Dorothy Welch: Cile Gobeille's athletic prowess. To Ann Osley, and Frannie Bernard: Marion Morganson's and Grace Lamb's composite article, The Long and the Short of It. To Helen Savage: Betty Rhoades' self assurance. To Babe McCarthy: Florence Moore's sweet smile. To Florence Young: Viola Lesure's perseverance as an editor. CViola would agree with us that it will be needed in full measurej To Majel Smith: Julia Sandberg's pep and pluck. To Helen Margaret Crowley: Doris Brickhill's petiteness. To those who have roomed in neighboring houses this past year: A new dormitory on Church Street, opposite the school garden, and in full sight of the Mark Hopkins clock. To the friendly old dormitory: The following, sorely needed: 1. A coat of paint for the trimmings on the back side. 2. A gong which refuses to ring at 6:30 A. M. 3. New stairs and floors incapable of squeaking after quarter after. 4. New dictionaries in the corridors. 5. Improved modern plumbing equipment throughout. 6. A new mopping equipment. To the Normal School Building: A smoke screen for the chimney. This will be extremely helpful in keeping the cinders from the eyes of the students and the smut from their clothes. Be it, herewith, stated that, for execution of the particulars above, we do appoint the Sentinel Poplars. We, the undersigned, being properly authorized, do hereby tile this, the last will and testament of that class being graduated on June eighteenth, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-six, Sally Fillebrown Lyndal Cranson As witnesses, we add our testimony as to the security and soundness of the above document. Normal Campus H oosac Tunnel 53 THE NORMALOGUE ling fbratinn 'EHE GREAT secret of success in life is the being ready when opportunity comes. This ivy which has just been planted as a bond between the North Adams Normal School and the Class of 1926, has received its first real opportunity in life. Whether it lives and struggles up- ward putting forth new shoots and covering large areas until the whole building is beautified by its shining foliage, or whether it dies in its fight with nature, will be a matter for Time to decide. If it be nurtured and cared for in its infancy, gain new strength and vigor daily, then it will doubtless be ready for the struggle. Like this ivy, we are about to receive a glorious opportunity. Nothing useless is or low, Each thing in its place is best, And what seems but idle show, Strengthens and supports the rest. Here in the heart of the Berkshire Hills, which have inspired the best within us, we have been nurtured and prepared to serve in our chosen profession as teachers. Amiel says, Our duty is to be useful, not according to our desires, but according to our powers. And Browning adds, To tend from good to better, thence to best. This should be our ideal. Though we are leaving behind our Alma Mater, she will always remain in our hearts as a place where responsibility and hard work were ever present. Nevertheless, the dearest memories will be those of pleasant associations with our teachers, schoolmates and friends, in the classroom and out- side, which once enjoyed, can never be taken from us. So today let us echo in our hearts the words of Lizette Reese when she says in her Little Song of Life, Glad that I live am Ig That the sky is blue, Glad for the country lanes, And the fall of dew. After the sun the rain, After the rain the sun, This is the way of life, Till the work be done. All that we need to do, Be we low or high, Is to see that we grow Nearer to the sky. Frances S. Drury ling Hmmm Old Mother Earth, we have a gift so tender For you to love and keep forever more, A little plant of ivy rootlets slender With great and wondrous mysteries, full store. Oh, gently hold this little plant close to you, Nor let one jot of harm break its reposeg But nurse it 'til it climbs to heights eternal, Protecting it as each day onward goes. Our hopes and love for Normal that we cherish Will keep this ivy strong in fall and spring. And 'round old Normal Hall in leaves and tendrils The spirit still of '26 will cling.

CAN YOU RECOGNIZE THE FAVORITE SAYINGS OF OUR FACULTY I just wanted to say- A problem might arise- The questions for today- I'm sure I don't know. Etc, etc, etc,- There is a situation- Now, I'm not going to scold- And so, and so, and so-- CROSS-WISE Cross-eyed waiter Cafter collisionj: Why don't you look where you're going? Second Waiter: Why don't you go where you're looking? A sock in the shoe is worth two in the eye. Once I felt I was a fool And straightway went to Normal School. I'm still a fool, but anyhow, - There's method in my madness now. TO A NORMALITE The sweetest words from tongue or pen Is when you read- Enclosed find ten or more From Father. What time is it? Ten to. Ten to what? Ten' to your own business. VVhen is a joke not a joke? When it's on the Faculty. 57 qi GLEE CLUB xr' X l ' ff i ff v fHW,x11,i!,i 'W rt' X H n A Z ' X I ' . Q n ,fr v Q ff Ellie 6122 Qlluh ZEARLY in the school year, the Glee Club was organized with the following officers: Frances Drury . . . . . . President Grace Bitzer .... .. Secretary Florence Moore . . . . . . Treasurer Evelyn Hunter ...,....................... Librarian Time went fast, and it was not very long before this group of about fifty girls appeared before their first audience of the season, and presented with the help of Henry J , Clancey, a most pleasing concert. This was only the beginning of a busy year. Some weeks later Drury High asked for a program, which was followed by an invitation and trip to Bennington, Vermont. Due to Miss Perry's unswerving faithfulness and interest in the Glee Club, the girls have been able to rise to more than the expectations of any of its listeners. However, it takes more than a fine leader to make a success of a performance and so much of the honor gained is due to the spirit of co- operation between the girls and Miss Perry. In the future, N. A. N. S. may have a larger chorus, but to us there can never be one quite like the Glee Club of 1926!

The ball went up in the center, the whistle blew, and the long an- ticipated J unior-Senior Basketball game was on in the gym, well-decorated with purple and silver. After the first half of the game between the second teams, the third teams took their places. The first team game, the most important and most exciting, came last. All teams played hard, clean games. The Senior mascot, Dorothy Towslee, and the thundering cheers from the audience, encouraged Senior victory, but each game ended in an overwhelming Junior triumph. For several weeks previous to the game, Miss Porter had capably instructed the girls in the tech- nique of playing good basketball. Ruth Nagle had been elected captain of Senior Basketball, and also of the first team. A committee, assisted by Miss Porter, selected the girls for each position. Mary Sylvia had been elected captain of the second, and Dorothy Bruton, captain of the third team. Though all the Seniors had been so busy that only a few could find time to spend in sufficient practice to even qualify for a team, yet those who did, have found it entirely worthwhile to neglect other important tasks. More than the mere skill in basketball, which is yet rather questionable, the girls, under Miss Porter's sympathetic, forceful leadership, have learned lasting lessons in sportsmanship, and true appreciation of each other. 60 THE NORMALOGUE NORMALOGUE STAFF Editor-in-Chief VIOLA LESURE Business Managers SALLY FILLEBROWN JULIA SANDBERG Circulation Editor Write-up Editor DOROTHY BRUTON GRACE BITZER Art Editor Jokes Editor VERA SEARS ANN MORRIER Associate Editors ELIZABETH RIIOADES DORIS BRICKHILL FRANCES DRURY DOROTHY ROBARE Faculty Advisors MR. SMITH MISS BARIGHT 61 THE NORMALOGUE Bahhg Hang-Inga EHOR MANY weeks Miss Baright and some of the girls had worked relentlessly every night after school. Whenever you met anyone in the corridor, she was carrying furniture, curtains, rugs, trays, and dishes for a worthy cause. An unfamiliar odor accosted us as we entered chapel mornings. It was that of fresh paint. Great preparations were under way for an event which we shall ever re- member. Finally the evening of the fourteenth was at hand. The greatest audience in the history of the school assembled, eagerly awaiting the rising of the curtain. Their interest, enthusiasm, and ap- preciation was evidenced by the inspiring applause received throughout the entire performance. The girls who took the parts of men are to be particularly congratulated and commended upon their success. also the tiny children who were solicited for the orphanage scene. A We challenge any future class to surpass our achievement!
