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.

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 '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
