-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

in N. fd,-it THE NORMALOGUE MAY LoUIsA ATKINS Hawley, Mass. 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

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?
