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

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.

As a preparation for future life, we could have received no better training in Domestic Science and Sanitation.

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
