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

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
