Z,S +- .ln '1 ALONIC H ALL NORTH ADAMS NORMAL SCHOOL jfnretnnrh Q39 NE of the most important crises of our lives is here. Now has the time arrived when we, the class of nineteen twenty-seven, must bid fare- : well to the North Adams Normal School to ue 'JL' Y fi- lf: 1 if H if .' K 'Q lL ,JI ' ' seek our careers amid the beckoning pursuits of life. As the days in the future gradually join the eternity of yesterdays, surely our thoughts will often wander back to our life at our Alma Mater, and memory will bring back to us once more a picture of those days so happy and enjoyable. That these memories so precious and dear to us may ever remain bright and clear, we publish this, our Normalogue. with the sincere hope that now and al- ways it may provide interest and pleasure to all its readers as well as to us, the class of nineteen twenty- seven. I Behicatinrl Therefs music in Ihre sighing of a reed, There'.s- music in the gush ing of a rill, Tlzcrels' music in all things, if man had ears! Their earfh is but an echo fy' the splzercsf' in QQ HAT lNIusic Hath Charms has surely been proven to us by Miss Perry during our short I two years at the North Adams Normal School. ffigfsxj In fact, not only has she charmed us with her deep love for music, along with her excelling musical ability, but also with her pleasing personality has she made our arithmetic as well as our music class- es interesting and enjoyable. At all times has she worked earnestly and whole-heartedly to give us the best there is in music that the mediocre might forever bore us. So well has she done this that our minds are now filled with that music which will strengthen and ennoble our souls forever. We realize we are fortunate to have lVIiss Perry with usg and her principles in all classes will ever remain to guide us in our work and so in remembrance of her willing cooperation, her worthy assistance, her fine example, as well as her sincere friendship, we, the class of nineteen twenty-seven. attempt to show our gratitude by dedicating this. our Normalogue. to our devoted friend and teacher, Miss Evelyn C.

Principal and Teacher of Psychology The high standards that N. A. N. S. has set up for us will lead us on and on-and on-to greater heights in our profession. lYould we have had the power to reach thru ascent. if it had not been for one who encouraged and steadied us. when we were only beginners in our course and success seemed so far away? To the Seniors. Mr. Smith has been the friend who has assisted us thru our Normal School career. Whenever there was an opportunity of broadening our field of knowl- edge, of acquainting us with new phases of education, of helping us to meet, in a better way, the profession we had chosen, Mr. Smith was very cooperative. Words cannot express the gratitude that the class of '27 holds for the dear principal. As each girl gains in power thru experience. no one will be more happy over her success than Mr. Smith. and every girl can honestly feel that if it had not been for his guidance, she could not have won these laurels. 7 THE NORMALOGUE MR. ALBERT G. ELDRIDGE North Adams, Mass. Teacher of Geography, History, Civics, and Economics How delightful it is to read of the adventures of a party that has climbed the Alpsg or to see pictures of daring mountain climbersg but the time of your life has been missed if you have not climbed Mt. Greylock with Mr. Eldridge along to make the trip interesting and enjoyable. Not only does Mr. Eldridge plan our Greylock trips, but also our Geography trips to which every Senior looks for- ward with eager anticipation. His helpful suggestions, which he gave us in his Geography and History classes, will aid the class of '27 to carry on their teaching in a better way. We wish him the best of success in future years. MR. CLINTON E. CARPENTER North Adams, Mass. Teacher of Child Study, Pedagogy, Penmanship, and Mafzagement To have been influenced by the teachings of a man so well advanced in the field of Education as is Mr. Carpenter, principal of the Mark Hopkins Training School, is a great assistance to the Senior class. How successful he was in aiding us to acquire a standard of ninety in Penmanshipg how thoroughly he taught us the principles of Pedagogy and of School Management! Not only is Mr. Carpenter acquainted with some of the leading educators of the day, but he has gained much knowledge from his extensive reading. To the Class of '27 he has been a true friend and long may North Adams Normal be favored with his instruction. 8 THE NORMALOGUE MR. WALLACE H. VENABLE North Adams, Mass. Teaclzcfr of Botany, GIlI'df'7ll.7Ig, Zoology, and H 1 slory of 1311 ucai 1 on All that l ask is that each girl gain from my courses a broader point of view of the subject called 'Science' With this aim in mind, our Science course has been one of the most interesting subjects in the curriculum. In Mr. Yenable's classes we learned to work independently, not relying upon a text-book nor the aid of the teacher, but forming our own opinions from real observations. The gardening course will be of use in a rural community. as there is no better way for the teacher to win the interest ol' the country folk in carrying on her work, than to have a knowledge of their means of earning a living-namely farming. The class of '27 has tried its best to acquire a wider view of science and we are sure that Mr. Yenable's well directed NIISS INIARY A. PEARSON North Adams, Mass. Teacher of Drawing and Handicraft Anyone can cultivate a sense of humor, but it is a gift to be witty. Two wonderful gifts have been bestowed upon Miss Pearson. for not only has she brought sunshine into our lives by ber witty remarks, but with her great knowledge of art, she has improved our taste and sense of harmony. No matter how much work she was obliged to look after. she was never too busy to help a pupil. who came to her for aid in a teaching assignment. Gladly would she lend her ehoicest paintings, and would help plan a. lesson if she thought it would ease up the teaching load. For thirty years. Miss Pearson has watched girls go forth from the portals of N. A. N. S. and this thirtieth class feels that its members are better equipped to enter their chosen field because of her teachings. 9 efforts have not been in vain. , . x . 4 H Vx X XX . .i Jw. .-fy. fz.-QQ N .. - .- ifelfit X ' steer-ii x .5 VL. 1 af' f THE NORMALOGUE MISS MARY LOUISE BARIGHT Farmington, N. H. Teacher of Story Telling, Literature, Expression, and Ethics The Literature room fades into nothingness: the girls close their eyes and drift away to the land of imagination. What is happening? Miss Baright is reading some poem or story with so much expression and animation that she has led her listeners into the strange lands and places which she is describing. She did not recite to us all the time, but when she was asked to read another poem, she would say, I am going to listen to you now. How hard she has tried to improve our speech, for she knows the necessity of teaching children to use English correctly. Although this teacher has had a great amount of work to do especially since the Dramatic Club was formed, she has found time to plan and carry out entertainments to help the Seniors for which the class was very grateful. Regretfully, we leave behind this dear friend who has helped us to form high ideals and to appreciate and express the best in Literature. BIISS BERTHA INI. SHOLES North Adams, iNIass. Teacher of Handzeorlr, Sanitation, Coolcing, and Sewing 'llo have taught for many years. meeting all kinds and types of people, yet never growing impatient nor littering a cross word. is a gift not found among all people. That is the remembrance the Seniors are taking away with them of Aliss Sholes. for during their two years at Normal. she has never been known to sc-old or speak sharply to a stu- dent. In her handicraft, sanitation, cooking. and sewing classes we have learned to work for ourselves. often con- ducting them without her aid. X0 matter how poor a pnpil's work was, Bliss Sholes always found a good point Ill it. A truer friend you will find nowhere. and Miss Sholes has won a place in our hearts forever. 10 THE NORMALOGUE 4 MISS Xl M X PORII R Needlmm Blass Teacher of Ilyqzenf and Plzysnal I flmatmn flaws lflzzsor 0 x' s nson t ll joy goodsporl' lwcrrrlrx to help' Th It s Nlss lorts r our clnss ulxlsor Shi uou Q ments ol nlmtun fxuntx suen hu llnhx 4 s shr mlls the S1 moxs during our hrst uulxs nt Norm nl un her mtuestmg hygnnc 'xml 5811111 lgllllll work Mlss Portmr IS just lllllflllllllg our mth uh is wlmh she lnnks wlll lxmht the gnls of N X B S 1nd this ufxr u hu eflolls Womens xllllflll Xssoclntlon sus Illlllds that the most prlceless Je url ls food H1 ilth qhe has helped us lo kmep the torfh of hood llmlth burnmg Wllll a lillglllkl' 'md '1 steadler H xml hoplng that we 'lre going lo p rss tlu torch on to tlu clnldrc n nm t rc h Nlax NI1ssPo1tmr rc In un mth North 'xKllIllS Norm ll for manly xefmrs Xlwus she mll be one ol thc dc 'll'1Sl Il mem bmnees planted ln the gfuden of numorus ol her bahx class MISS -XLICE OWEBQ North Adams Mass Teacher of Przmazy Readmq Language, Gram mar and Oral Compovzfwn W hat '1 reluf to be treated 'rs 1 clnld 'lg-nn after bung a grown up for sexe-ml xeflrs for ln M1ss Owens classes xou forget your dxgnxtx 'md entrr mto the realm of ehlld hood Nou prepare to plu the role of ans storx book character and ll xou re stxfl' at being '1 clnld once more Mlss Ovsens herself mll demonstrate how '1 duck wmlks or how the httle Red Hen carrxed her lug of flour We take from our work ruth Mlss Owens manw helpful suggestlons wlnch we mll use nn our de lhngs mth lnttle chxldren 11 N.,- I - lj-174 . ff! . 1'1 VN N s n I 1 'Q 41 Y r L . , ' . . , .

The class of '27 was the first class to be instructed in this new enterprise under the leadership of Miss Jenkins. She has had a. wide experience in rural training, and in her cheerful manner, dispelled our fears concerning country schools, and helped us to realize the great opportunity awaiting us in the country. The Senior class wish lVIiss Jenkins every happiness for the future, and look forward with joy toward the visit she will make us in our rural schools in the Fall. 12 4 THE NORMALOG-UE MR. THOMAS CUMMINGS North Adams, lVIass. Teacher of Manual Training We have here a member of the faculty who is with us for the sole purpose of teaching the uses of the chisel cop ing saw, and other tools: and many have wondered why a manual training course is given girls. When we are in our rural schools, with a group of eighth grade boys on our hands, we believe that the facts Mr. Cummings has taught us concerning manual training will help to solve more than one difficult problem in discipline.

Genevieve is a girl with a goal and many hobbies. She is versed in the art of expression and intends to write poetry some day. If she writes as well as she speaks, there is no question concerning her success in the world of American literature. Genevieve is extremely fond of English violets too. Cheshire is probably to blame for that though. RUTH ELIZABETH CLRTISS Rufus 186 Eagle St.. North Adams, Blass. Reading Club til. Axis Staff 021. Fire Chief, Publicity Committee Chairman.

We will always remember Kathleen for her kindness of heart, and her sincerity. ALMA ANNETTE DOLIVA SSAP! 10 Second St., Adams, Mass. Orchestra, Operetta.

If it were an assembly which needed a violin solo or a poem which needed dramatic interpretation we always rushed to her for help. But, hark! And yet again- ? Al's unending supply of jokes and her ability gave us many a pleasant hour. We will always think of her standing before assembly gaily relating some of the many interesting incidents of her trip abroad last summer.

We'll guarantee the children in her room will have plenty of physical exercise too. Williams holds a fascination for Helen-we mean the name not the college.

The readiness of doing doth express no other than the doer's wil- lingness. , Wlith a clatter. bang and shriek Grace comes bounding down the hall. How many would recognize her in this mood? Although this does not exactly fit her we find Grace full of fun. She is always good natured and a friend to everyone. Her willingness to help others has won for her many true friends. 26 BIADELEINE AUGUSTA DUNCKLEE -'Jiggsi' Mad 16 Barrows St., Middleboro, Blass. Glee Club, School Council, Operetta.

FRANCES ELIZABETH ENIERY Fran 5 Payson Ave., Easthampton, Blass. I would befriend to all. Fran's motto is evidently Preparedness and she carries it out to the fullest extent. Although she is faithful to her studies, she never misses a good time. If she imparts to her pupils the pleasing characteristics she showed here we are sure she will be a successful teacher. RUTH GRACE ERICKSON lvalnut St., North Adams, lVIass. Never idle a momeni, but thriffy and fhoughtful of others. Ruth and Norma are inseparable even in opinions. Ruth doesn't say much but we all know she just knows and knows. She is the envy of many striving Seniors, never hurried or worried and her work always in on time. ive all believe Ruth when she says that her pupils will learn thru interest. She swings a mean bat on the baseball-diamond too. I x 27 THE NORMALOGUE THE NORMALOGUE ARLENE ESTES Pittsfield, hlass. llilell Illy ivagmr fo a Mar.

Cl2l.tllCl'lllP is supposed to be shy but she doesn't always live up to her reputation. She has a sunny disposition and an infectious giggle.

Not only did her mirth entertain us, but also her violin. How we will miss her! The whole class joins in saying, Ann', we were glad to have known you. ANNA FRANCES BIEEHAN Leeds, Northampton, Blass.

She hath a natural, wise sincerity, A simple truthfulness, and those have lent her A dignity as moveless as the center. Though Irene was faithful in all her work, she excelled in making ant nests for Mr. Venable's classes. Another of her talents was her musical ability through which she was a big help to our orchestra. If she is as earnest in her teaching as she has been here at school she will be a credit to our class. DORIS NIXON Dot Chase Ave., North Adams, lilass.

Of all our friends and comrades here at Normal none was dearer than Eleanor. She entered into work and play with equal enthusiasm. Her witty remarks and sudden bursts of laughter brightened many a class. She may not be the tiniest in the class, but her nickname Parsnips is undisputed. We all feel sure that Eleanor's devotion to her' work and her sincerity in it will bring her the success she so fully deserves. It has been a pleasure and a privilege to know her. 37 THE NORMALOGUE BIILDRED CORINTHIA PARSONS RHI lNI'eleanor Southampton, Mass. Dramatic Club, House Council, A1'1'.v.

We are trying to stress these so that some day when we are far away and no longer young in years. Class Day will stand out as a memory of the most precious thing in our past- Our Normal School Day . It seems as though this day closes one episode of our lives. Tomorrow, we enter upon a new and broader experience. We begin our practice in a noble profession for which we have beell most carefully trained. Although we have passed one milestone along the road to success, still in the distance we see a torch beckon- ing us to strive upward and onward for higher and greater ideals. This reminds one of Berton Braley's quotation: The best verse hasn't been rhymed yet, The best house hasn't been planned, The highest peak hasn't been climbed yet. The mightiest rivers aren't spanned: Don't worry and fret, faint-hearted, The chances have just begun For the best jobs haven't been started, The best work hasn't been done. hlost of us will perhaps answer this summons and continue to work for the realization of more prohcient skills and abilities. We are all looking forward to futures that will re- flect honor to our Alma lllater. To the Faculty: The time has approached when we must say farewell to all our teachers and friends. We cannot depart from the school without expressing our gratitude to our dear principal-Mr. Smith. After having gone through the school with his guiding hand at the wheel we realize now that lNIr. Smith has been our best friend-always having a word of sympathy, a word of encouragement, and a pleasant smile to cheer us over the diflicult places. If he seemed harsh and severe when he said, No one can be excused early. or Everyone must be back Sunday night , we all realize that he had sufficient reason. If the punishment seemed too hard we know it was for our good and we were never pun- ished without cause. Our dear teachers too with their cheery good morning, their bright smiles, their inexhaustible patience, and their ever-readiness to help us, we shall always remember. To them we are indebted for many of our good times as well as all our 49 THE NORMALOGU knowledge. When we think of leaving the dear old school which has sheltered us for two happy years, and all the familiar faces of kind teachers we are overcome by a feeling of gratitude and indebtedness to those who had faith in us and inspired us to reach the goal which we have attained. Classmates: Surely every senior here this afternoon has found out the meaning and full significance of the two words. true friendship . Someone had said, A friend is one who knows all about you and loves you just the same . This has been the case in several incidents in our school career. Many of us have been on the verge of giving up in trying to uphold the dignity and customs of our school, but have always been saved by the encouragement and loving sympathy of our friends. Edgar Guestis stanzas seemed somehow to fit in here. He says, A friend is one who takes your hand, And talks a speech you understand He's partly kindness. partly mirth And faith unconquering of your worth. He's first to cheer you on success, And last to leave you in distress, A friend is loyal, constant, true, In short old pals, he's just like youf' Together we have shared pleasures and disappointments. Nothing could ever sever the tried and true friendships that have grown up during our normal training. For the past thirty years classes have gone out from the North Adams Normal School. This year it is the turn of the class of '27 to go. Therefore, we leave the present junior class and other incoming students to uphold the standards and carry on the work of the school. We, the members of the class of 1927, welcome you and bid you share with us the pleasures of our Class Day. WH? I know that May has come! The happy birds are singing it The opening flowers are showing it The shining grass is whispering it I know that May has come! I'm glad that hlay has come! It is the joy-time of the year The happy play-time of the year The gayest fun-time of the year I'm glad that May has come! -Marion Bishop 50 THE NOHMALOGUE Qhhress tn Juniors T is a great privilege to be able to talk to Juniors from a position where they will bc unable to retaliate until I have finished, especially as my task is giving advice. This I have gladly given all year, but never quite as sufficiently as I intend to now. You will be interested to know that you will have many difficult classes next year, and you must have a wonderful time this summer to prepare you for a strenuous training- teacliing session. Try very hard to think things through clearly if you expect to convince Mr. Smith that you meant what you said, and didn't intend to say anything else. lNIr. Carpenter still likes third floor and, as usual, expects certain definite points which summarize chapters in one word. You should begin to practice balancing on your forward foot when there is a transition in your thoughts, in order to preserve the unity between your words and bodily pose, you should also struggle to capture all the animation, enthusiasm, life, energy and spirit you can, as your classmates will have need of all in Miss Baright's eventful classes. You aren't going to have Miss Pearson for very long next year, so look over, gaze at, observe, scrutinize and draw everything you see, you will need all your knowledge in that line. Wlhen coming to the front of the room for observation, pick up your chairs carefully, the library is below and Miss Donelson is used to intense silences. If you can't sing, take a piano and go off alone somewhere to practice singing, but if you are sure you are in class C, you must learn to play the piano. There are courses ad- vertised, which will teach you how to play symphonies in a few months so you won't need to sing them. You will continue project work with Mr. Eldridge but remember that when you are given a week in which to do something do not figure on having four days before beginning to work. You had better spend some of your summer time out in nature, handling every form of animal and insect lifeyou can. It is very trying to see what the underside of an earth- worm or caterpillar looks like when you are not used to it. Mr. Venable also has the History of Education class which means that you must strive to think up some good questions to ask, because if you don't he will. Volunteer as soon as possible in lWIiss Owens' Oral Composition class so you may be able to fully enjoy and learn from your comrades' efforts in comfort. Your ideas of grammar are going to change considerably, and you must know that a Bostonian accent doesn't make slang any more permissable. You have ached in the past, you will ache in the future. Miss Porter has some very special achy exercises just before a dance or a vacation. Practice doing what you think people mean rather than what they say, and give yourself endurance tests so that you will be able to remain in a torturing position while one of your classmates tries to think of the next command, if you would be remembered with kindness. I hope you will not insist that Miss Sholes sample everything you make. There is no virtue in offering something that you are physically unable to digest yourself, and her kindness should not be overtaxed in this way. Also, you need not waste your time mak- ing dolls or dogs in her sewing class, as we have proved that it can be excellently well done so you need not do it again. Mr. Cummings will not be able to give you class time but we have found him very helpful when bolts fall out of furniture or other problems in woodwork arise. 51 THE NORMALOGUE When Miss Jenkins meets with you to tell what splendid work we are doing, do not ask for our names. If you wish to keep track of us, write. Now about those timid, bewildered new Juniors that are coming, you must care for them as ably as we have cared for you. They will seem like a difficult proposition and they will be, but educate those nearest you in Normal ways, and the rest will follow. These Juniors may be homesick and cry at first. In that case weep with those who weep hasn't proved practical. Therefore, when dormitory girls hear a queer sound in one of those new. terrifying nights they should first inspect their radiators, and then the rooms of the nearest Juniors. It is difficult to carry on a sprightly monologue with nothing but sobs and gasps for response, but keep talking and they will answer back in self-defense. It really is a very good way to become acquainted, so is well worthwhile. There are some items of interest especially for dormitory girls. Remember that al' though pajama clad figures in corridors are fairy-like they are certainly not invisible to strangers. You have perhaps experiencedsome difficulties in housekeeping and you will undoubtedly continue to do so. However, if your radiator leaks, roars or freezes, your lights go out or come down, your windows stick, your wash cloths disappear down the sink. or your wardrobe falls over on your roommate, first do all you can yourself, then con- sult lNIrs. Van and if she sends you for the janitor try not to talk back to him when or if he comes. Don't offer a guest a chair on which your clothes have been drying. There is not room enough in the laundry for all wet clothes, but there is usually some room left on the couch for the guest. Learn to face mice courageously, but don't leave food out for them. If you don't happen to mind their company. your roommate usually does. Also don't choose a room directly above a piano unless you are frightfully fond of music. To the town girls I may say learn to use the dormitory girls' rooms early. Remember there is no tribal warfare between town and dormitory girls and if you are talking with each other there is not much opportunity to talk about each other. Their rooms are al- ways clean, pleasant and cheerful and you are welcome company. lNIake dormitory girls used to you, and they will have an extremely empty feeling when they know you won't pop in on them any more. Be as eager and happy about cleaning up your lunch room as our town girls have been and you will never suffer from indigestion. This clean up spirit ought to extend over to after the dances also. Practice catching the right car or keeping the correct amount of gasolene in the tank, because your peace of mind is largely connected with the time you arrive here. For those who eat in the dormitory, I hope you may continue to enjoy hlrs. Van's delicious, well-planned meals. the pictures of which you may find in the latest magazines. Of course you may be experimented upon at intervals, but try and eat whatever it is. The waitresses will see that it doesn't happen again if you don't wish it to, but eat it anyway and you will save righteous indignation, the food, and express your appreciation for the cooking at the same time. Another thing. don't always think you are the one llrs. Yan is looking at. Everyone thinks that. and she couldn't be. not all at once. lYhen one tries to speak seriously upon an occasion such as this, it makes one feel almost too serious to be comfortable.

It was a time of trembling anticipation and regretful, tearful goodbyes. CIt was September, 19255. I have no doubt that inundations of tears, copious enough to have frightened even Noah, prevailed in many a city, town and hamlet all over the wide expanse of this great state. The trains glided smoothly but surely toward their destination. 'After aeons had passed at last, the sonorous tones of the conductors proclaimed the glad news- North Adams! Oh, how strange we timid. faint-hearted novices felt as we rambled into the assembly hall that first memorable afternoon. There were so many of us that even the doors of Normal Hall banged with surprise. In fact there were just one hundred twenty-four when the last individual was tallied. The biggest class ever. It was at this time that we first heard the voice that was to become so familiar to us as the years rolled by. hlust you ask who? Of course not. Here, at this meeting, hlr. Smith welcomed us and cheered our drooping spirits. ' At Taconic Hall luggage was being hoisted and various rooms were being surveyed with anxious eyes. At last that terrible gong announced that dinner was ready. In the dining room all we could see were strange faces and more strange faces everywhere we looked. How could we ever learn all of their names? lNIrs. Yan Etten, our noble matron, helped solve the problem by announcing that all the students were to meet in the music room at seven-thirty. Shall we ever forget that night? It was then that we made the acquaintance of many never-to-be-forgotten friends. ' The next morning a new epoch in our scholarly lives was begun. The teachers were arranged in single formation on the platform. VVe eyed them with great curiosity, for we well understood their superior intellects, and the power that they could wield. One of them was as new as we, and to her our hearts gushed forth-our early loved lNIiss Porter, to whom we owe so much of our athletic prowess. A week passed. It was during this eventful period that we learned there were no elevators in the building, that the stairs were really quite perilous, and that we were actual- ly expected to arrive at assembly and classes on time. . It was obvious from the first that we were a progressive and an original class. lYe chose temporary officers at a class meeting before we had been here a week. Later, in November, we evolved into an organization and were very fortunate in selecting such worthy leaders as Barbara Wialter, president, hlarion Taylor, vice-president. Edith Heggie, in whose character we had implicit confidence, treasurer. and Majel Smith to keep our wondrous records. 55 THE NORMAL GUE Time passed, and we began to adjust ourselves to our new environment. The morning assemblies were a source of great joy to us. lVe waited anxiously to see what hymn would be sung, and what surprises in the form of a speaker for a change of program were in store for us. God, send us Men. The hymn rang out with more expression and fervent earnest- ness than ever before! Every face beamed with excitement, every finger drummed with eagerness. Why the excitement? you ask. Why tonight is the night of our first man dance! That morning was intolerably long, and by one o'clock a most singular operation was in progress. The sight of the dignified, professional Seniors, gayly pushing the desks from the assembly room, was enough to make me up with my hands before my face. After an eternity of classes during the afternoon, at last the never-to-be hurried, almost antagonistic clock actually pointed to the hour of eight. Then the door bells at Taconic Hall and the telephones on the second and third floors rang incessantly announcing that the gallant gentlemen had arrived! Such excitement! By half past eight Normal Hall was filled with chattering couples, while on the platform stood a group of stately chape- rones. We danced and danced. Finally the last shoes clattered down the stairs, the last good night murmured, the last door slammed, the last light fiickered out. The first dance was over. Many other social times followed, such as our Hallowe'en party, the Christmas party, and other dances. But, with apologies to Burroughs, I would like to say that the first dance, like first love, is always the sweetest and always the fullest. ,Then came the joyous holiday season. Shall we ever forget the 'wondrous beauty of the Christmas Carols as the silv'ry sounds floated on the icy air at five-thirty on the morning of our long awaited Christmas vacation? Life flowed smoothly on until lVIay Q2,the date of our alumnae banquet, at which time the Juniors displayed their ability to adapt themselves to their environment by waiting on the noble alumnae. At this time we received great inspiration by listening to hir. Angelo Patri, who is known and revered by all, in the teaching world. Then June arrived and with it the yellow forsythias which were culled by Miss Pear- son, and over which we struggled like Trojans to make good looking decorative units. Of course we all succeeded, for who could help succeeding when Miss Pearsonis artistic nature guides our judgment and makes it discriminating. One of the memories which we shall always cherish is the recollection of Miss Owens, standing on a chair, crowing like a rooster and quacking like a duck, in her enthusiastic efforts to make us see the little child's viewpoint. How many times has our dignity been dragged to the dust as we lowered ourselves to the position of the scratching hen and the marketing pig! With June came the joyful preparations for graduation on the part of the Seniors. Underneath their joy, however, we sensed their grief at the thought of leaving their Alma hfater. Graduation day came and passed and our first year was ended. The following September, after having sailed safely through a storm of Junior troubles, we were Seniors. VVhen the faculty took the annual inventory the jolly Juniors Know transformed to serious Seniorsl had decreased in number. Two of us had entered the state of double blessedness and others had wandered far afield and had not returned. ' 56 THE NGHMALOGUE By now, we had gradually become accustomed to that great divide-namely. the marks we thought we ought to have and those we received. lVe thought it was our duty to show our superiority and strut around the school as if we owned it. Now we delved into the mystic realms of Zoology! It would cause me great pain to recall to your minds, how fruitless were Mr. Venable's attempts to convince us that the earth-worm and the grasshopper were really beautiful and harmless. Ugh! I shudder to think of them. In fact my dreams were filled with them and with spiders: I dreamed I was a spider, A big fat juicy spider A lusty rusty spider VVith a thousand palsied limbs. One of the first things that had attracted our attention as Seniors, was the election of class officers. Barbara Walter had transferred to Bridgewater, so we chose Marion Taylor as our presidentg Frances Bernard as vice-president, and as we were so well pleased with the efficiency of the others we elected them again. Although most of us knew little or nothing about needlecraft, we now can wield a wicked needle due to the practice and suggestions obtained from Miss Sholes. I might also add that we can cook a dinner good enough for any man. Wve have viewed North Adams from many heights and angles in the company of lNIr. Eldridge. We have hiked to Wittsi Ledge and viewed the city and the Normal. Wie have clambered under and over The Natural Bridge, and we have stood on the top of Mt. Greyloek and looked down into the valley. We take this time to thank Mr. Eldridge for his untiring efforts for furthering our geographical and geological education. Our originality and progressiveness was displayed in the training school. The children loved us dearly Csour-casmj. Why did they love us? Because the art of hand- ling children was so forcefully brought home to us in Child Study with Mr. Carpenter. 'We jumped rope and played marbles with the little darlings every recess. Our creative instinct cropped out one day when we decided to have real student government. Straightway we elected as President Katharine Cody who has performed her laborious duties remarkably well. The members of this organization have brought about several things for the good of N. A. N. S., among these a dramatic and a reading club. December 1, 1926, will go down as a memorable date in the school calendar of N. A. N. S. for it was then that the Women's Athletic Association was formed. This association has helped greatly to promote the health and athletic activities of the school. Now it was time to have our pictures took -or be immortalized as liliss Pearson says. Passing through the hall one day I overheard this conversation: Oh, do you want to see my proofs? -Pause- Say, how long has Sanford been making cartoons? An annual event toward which every Senior looks forward is the class play. Again we showed our originality by having an operetta- The Dragon of Wu Foo, which was given in the Drury Auditorium on June 3. The untiring efforts of lNIiss Baright made the actors assume Shakespearean qualities while Bliss Perry's choruses have never been rivalled. 57 TH NORMALOGUE We are nearing the close of our Normal School life, and are embarking on the sea of experience. lVe leave the Normal with higher ideals, nobler aspirations and soaring am- bitions, determined to use our knowledge to inspire the lowly, to mold children's characters so that they are fit to stand before their Creator, fit to call themselves Americans and fit to live life and obtain from it all that is their due. The message that we leave to you is the one that has carried us unfailingly and unfalteringly through our school lifeg Let nothing discourage you, never give up! Ellen Andrews Isabelle Lindell ' OBSERVING CHILD: Beloved Child: Papa, did people go swimming a lot in Bible times? Fond Parent: How should I know, 0swald?', B. C.: It says here that people died of divers disease. WRX 'R-1 58 THE NORMALOGUE if -A ' fl, 'f y Mildred-Hello, Anna. My but it's good to see you again, come on in and tell me all about your trip to California. Anna-Say lNIil, I bet you can't guess in a thousand years whom I met just before I left for home. I'll give you just three trials. Zllildred-YVas it lVIr. Smith? Anna-No! lllildfred-I'll wager it was Dr. Suhrie. Anna-No! Nlildred-Then it must have been Miss Skeele, for she lives down that way somewhere. Anna-No. There I knew you could never guess and I could hardly wait for you to finish. IVell, it was lVIyrtle Garcelon. M ildred-IVhat? W'hatever was she doing out there? Anna-Yes, but wait, I l1aven't told you the best yet. She has been studying the methods and theories of Burbank. And what do you suppose she has done? Mildred-Wiell, do hurry, what is it? Anna-You know she was always interested in science and Zoology. Remember how she used to just love to fool around those horrid old earth worms in zoo class? Mildred-Yes'm, I remember quite well thank you, she sat right in front of me. But do go on will you? Anna-You know I told you about her studying lNIr. Burbank's methods. Wiell, she has been working and experimenting for some time to produce a magic Normal rose and she has finally succeeded. Imagine it! at magic Normal rose. and she gave me three to bring back with me. lllildred-IVhat! well what are they for, what do they do, and where are they? Anna-Right over here on the table. M ildred+Oh, aren't they beautiful! Anna-See! on each of the petals is written the fate of each one of the girls in our class of 'Q7. Ztlildred-I know, let's take turns pulling off the petals and see what is written on them. If you find yourself gaining weight just take a little trip up to Ethel Zander's reducing camp, situated on the top of iNIt. Greylock, where, as successor to IValter Camp, she advo- cates the Daily Dozen. She guarantees that you will lose weight rapidly for she has gone from 250 lbs. to exactly 98M lbs. One month after graduating from N. A. N. S. lNIillicent Salmon accepted a position for life in IYorthington. It was considered the best thing both for Millicent and her pocket- book, for she seemed unable to resist the temptation to spend all her week-ends there. 59 'PHE NORMALOGUE Going to have your picture taken? Try the Thomas Studio. This is the advice offered to newcomers in No. Amherst. It has recently been opened by Miss Helen Thomas. She has an extensive display of photographs, and is known and admired for her aptability in catching characteristic and natural expressions on the poser's face. Up in Shelburne Falls Ena Norwood has a maple sugar camp. Ena taps the maple trees and Winifred Kilbridge makes the maple sugar. Helen Savage, a traveling sales- lady, then takes the products and travels far and wide over the country selling the tasty candy. She uses a little old Ford called Pete, formerly belonging to Miss Porter, which still rambles gaily along in spite of its antiquity. The class of '27 should be proud of the heroic and brave deeds of Madeleine Duncklee and Ruby Hume. They are two of the finest life-savers that the country possesses. Their training, was gained at Hyannis, a fashionable health resort. Many are the personal letters of congratulation which the President of the United States has spent them. Girls! at last we have in our city a young lady who has been over in Paris learning the French styles of hair-dressing and the latest types of bobs. Ann Meehan will be pleased to try out these modes of Parisian hair dressing on any of her former schoolmates, so donit allow your hair to get to that untidy stage. Edith Heggie is coach of the famous basketball team which consists of Doris Nixon, Helen Doyle, Margaret Burnett, Elizabeth Chenail, Helen F. Crowley and Marion Bresett. They have become world famous, and at present are stationed in Sweden. If you are not a natural born lover of poetry just sample a few of the poems of one of our modern writers, Miss Dorothy Baker. There is such beauty and charm in her poetry that none can resist it. . v Revere Beach is a very popular place now, for crowds assemble to see Miss Helen Smith and Miss Catherine Felix do both fancy ice and roller-skating. In the same amusement place will be found two very skillful tight rope-walkers, Martha Burt and Helen M. Crowley. The facial expressions of Miss Burt are especially unique, and then the chance exclamations uttered by Miss Crowley during the perform- ance are too rare to miss. Helen McLeod is on her way to good old Scotland. Next month she will be seen in a factory in Briggsville, a small place in Scotland. She will be manufacturing Scotch plaids and designing materials for tams to be worn by the college men next winter. The latest and best comedy of the season is Don't kid yourself . Donit miss it, for it is another Ben Turpin Comedy, starring Miss Katherine O,Brien. There is no need for any one to complain because her hair is so straight for she can run down to Madame Proulx's beauty parlor in New York city, and receive the famous treatment given by Lena Champagne for curly hair. Across from Madame Proulx's beauty parlor is Madame Fulmer's Parisian shop. Just drop in here and you will be shown the smartest and most artistic gowns of the day. displayed by the French models. Isabel Lindell and Helen Montgomery. They guarantee to make any one look beautiful in a very short time. The most popular and famous elocutionists are to be found in Salt Lake City. These are Miss Sally Robinson and lVIiss Mary Tolckov. Massacliusetts is fortunate in having two women senators, Charlotte Yvilcox and Bertha Burke. They certainly can debate, and if they make a statement, stand by it, regardless of the criticisms of the senators of the other sex. 60 v THE NORMALOGUE The best literary works of the day are: HTVIICH I lVas In Ogunquitn-by Edith Hol- landg My Brothers -by Ann Osleyg Girls Prefer Blondesng by Ethel Gagnon. All of these books are good, and are full of personal experiences of these young ladies. China has been completely changed and reformed by the American Missionaries, Miss Florence Ross and Mildred Hoffman, who have been working in that country for two years. Americans now go to China to get rich quickly rather than the Chinese coming to our country. Such a reformation and all due to the brilliancy of the N. A. N. graduates. Miss Helen Corcoran is struggling with the writing of a new dictionary. All the words in this book are pronounced after the Bostonian manner. She has made sure that such words as Tom and bottle shall no longer be ill-treated and mispronounced. Children's plays have been given such a prominent place on all programs in Savoy that Marion Viall has been engaged to coach them. In order to convince her classmates that she does not deserve the reputation of being Scotch, Loretta Breen has provided for a constant supply of composition paper to be used in Lit. classes. One rather timid girl from the class has wandered to the big metropolis of Shutesbury. She is Hazel Thomas and there acts as matron in a home for oprhans. Just a few weeks ago Miss Porter sent out an S.O.S. for a pianist for her gym classes. lllary Brown accepted the position. She will be assisted by Evelyn lNIeiklejohn. Evidently the lunch room experiences gave Margaret Montgomery an inspiration. She is now training to be a dietitian so that she may know when and when not to use onions for school lunches. The tendency to lonesomeness which was particular to Hester Lee has been overcome decidedly. She has even left the state and has gone to Vermont where she is demonstrat- ing a new car, the Earl. February and June no longer bring with them the terrors of report cards. As a re- sult of Fleurette Bengle's strong arguments the system of marking has been changed. Normal girls no longer need to dread gym classes. lNIarion Taylor and lNIary Dyer have invented a coat of armor as a means of protection against injury in that class. Etiquette in lVilliamstown , a book recently published, is proving a great help for Normal girls. It was written jointly by Clarice Halfpenny and Rose Bruton. Amherst has claimed one of the class. Arlene Estes is proprietress of the college candy kitchen there. Recently, business cards were issued by Irene lVIurray announcing her new profession. She is an expert authority on how not to play pool. One of this number is still faithful to North Adams. Frances Shaw resides there. She is not a teacher, however, but a Taylor . At Lake George every summer there are two noted artists, Sophie Cohen and Flo r- ence Parker. They Hnd this spot an ideal place to practice their art. There is no more waste of time in Normal. Frances Emery and lNIildred Parsons have worked out a budget which enables the girls to plan their time profitably. We no longer hear of Margaret Ruether. Because of the difficulty people had in pronouncing her last name, she has given up in despair and changed it. Girls from outside the state should feel greatly indebted to Ruth Foster and Emma Yvollenhaupt. They have donated a fund which makes it possible for such girls to live in the dormitory. 61 THE NORMALOGUE At last Mary Crews has confessed her liking for a certain young man. She no longer insists that it is just friendship and she admits she sees him oftener than now and then . Living advertisements are now the thing. In Madame Proulx's beauty parlor we find Marion Bishop and Catherine Gallagher demonstrating the wonders of complexion cream.. Few of the class remained loyal to their chosen profession. Of these we find Earlene Dalrymple and Elizabeth Finger teaching in Stamford. Elizabeth teaches drawing and gym because of her great liking for them. Any of you who were apt not to respond in Lit. classes will be glad to know that Caro- line Sylvia, Grace Dullahan and Alice Walsh have perfected a device which enables girls to volunteer often and satisfactorily. YVhen vacation time comes and taxis are needed the students rush madly to call 210. Their calls are answered by either Ruth Curtiss or Margaret Kelly, who are now in that business. Your classmates have not all confined themselves to this country. Abroad we find Gertrude Childs studying the violin under the noted Alma Doliva. A lesson rarely passes without a broken bow or string. The four inseparable-s are still together. VVe find Mary Corcoran, Mae Fitzpatrick, lVIary O'Brien and Juliet Malloy, all located in Pumpkinville Center. They started teaching there, but were lured away from it by four farmer boys. North Adams Normal now has two nurses on its staff. They are Ruth Ericson and Genevieve Curtin, who attend to any accidents which may happen, such as falling down stairs. And there are nuns--two of them-Mary Quinlan and Jessie Beverly, who gave up their teaching to enter the convent. Instead of Mr. Smith. Normal girls now speak of lVIiss Smith for Majel is ably filling the position of Principal of Normal school. To the glee club especially: lVIadam Andrews and lNIadam Yvelch, whom you knew as Ellen and Dorothy, are busy composing songs to be used by the N. A. N. S. glee club exclusively. At morning assembly are frequently introduced Edna lvright and Florence Young, who now work on the State Board of Education. . The suggestions gotten from Storytelling classes added to Mary Bond's natural ability along that line have made her a famous personage. She is employed by Savoy library where she conducts the Children's Hour once a week. Another out-of-town girl has returned to settle in North Adams. Eleanor McCarthy is assistant manager of a local gasolene station. Do you wonder whose? Two of the faculty of N. A. N. S. have assistants: Bessie Klein helps in the history classes of Mr. Eldridge, while Angela Milani works with lV1iss Sholes in cooking classes. Teaching did not prove to be the real calling of Katherine Cody. Her true interest is in dressmaking. She has taken this up under the able direction of Alice Brookings. One of the athletes of '27, Ethel Thomas, had never lost her enthusiasm. Her inter- est, however, runs chiefly along one line-she goes bohling every night. Reducing classes are being patronized freely by Eleanor Parsons, otherwise known as Tiny , for whom they have worked wonders. A woman mayor! and she is none other than lVIiriam McCauley-first woman mayor of Dalton, her ideal community. You see, girls, it pays to advertise. 62 THE NORMALOGUE Recently one of your number entertained in Chapin Hall. Some clever readings of Dot Baker's poetry were given by Clara Freedman. Frances Bernard is acting as secretary for Ethel Beals, her only duty being to take care of Ethel's specials . Under the careful guidance of Doc Kathleen Davis is gradually overcoming her determined ways. The children of Great Barrington are attending special classes in citizenship con- ducted by Gertrude Maher. This course includes such things as controlling one's temper, etc. In her spare time she is working to raise Great Barrington from an 852 to a 10062, perfect community. Way, way over in India in a very, very mystical, haunted, uncanny dwelling place lives Helen Rooney. Alas! she has been captured by a crafty, wicked Hindu, and after falling into his hands has herself become a mysterious crystal gazer. Many crowds assemble daily in New York City to see Dorothy Dupell, the human fly. Her daring character is very much admired by the on-lookers as she scales the VVoolWorth Building. Dr. Carpenter has given up his home to Edna Ralston and Nina King, that they might turn it into a Normal Bakery. VVhat spicy odors issue from this shop when new cake and cookies come from the oven! In fact the pastry and luncheon doughnuts are so delicious that no longer can the Normal girls keep Health Rules, in spite of the protests of the YV. A. A. Officers. Silk handkerchiefs are still popular at N. A. N. S. The students keep Norma Tadiello busy filling the orders, which she gets from canvassing. In general, the class of 'Q7, although least loyal to its profession, is the most original, most widely known and most accomplished of any class as yet graduated from N. A. N. S. lllildred Hardaker A nna Illclllahon 1.4 Q2 gfdm 'MQW' -qja 45235, QQ! 4 .- ff- eg-1 Q gli 5 ' QQ A 63 THE NORMALOGUE n s-,, a -. ,.af?'n lm will N the name of the class of Nineteen Hundred Twenty-Seven of the North Adams Nor- mal School, located in this, the city of North Adams, the county of Berkshire, and the state of Massachusetts, we, the class of Nineteen Hundred Twenty-Seven, being in poor health and unsound minds, in possession of all-or nearly all of our faculties, but calling to our unstable memories the uncertainty of this life and the surety of death, and willing to dispose of our entire worldly estate, do make and publish this, our last will and testa- ment.

Ethel Tlzomas Eleanor Parsons As witnesses, we add our testimony as to the security and soundness of the above document. W G y m Nasz u In Tennis Fourt W'ind.s'or Lake Zllbe Zlhp Gratinn ODAY, Dear Classmates, we enjoy a triumph such as conquerors and monarchs enjoyed-that of completing a course for the preparation of a useful and complete life. In somber reflection, I recall that September Day, when, with a mind full of wonder, awe, and expectation, we entered on our chosen career. Since that day our characters have been unfolded, our ideals have been fashioned and our souls illumined. Our exemp- lars in the classrooms have enabled us to build up strong courage and high, resolute, per- severance, to overcome the battles of life that we may fling high the banner of true Chris- tianity and service. As a symbolism of our life at the Normal School, we are about to plant this ivy- honored in poetry, literature, and art. It has adorned the mantled towers of churches. it entangles the castles of kings, and it clings lovingly to the memorials of our honored dead. Let us also be like this little plant with its slender strength and perpetual freshness, always holding firmly to the tasks set before us and constantly seeking friendship, love, and happiness. In memory, year after year with abounding hope and perseverance, may the ivy find fresh strength in defying time and fateg and may its tendrils cling to the walls as an emblem of our hallowed love. With unfaltering steps may we tread the roads of en- deavor and gaze steadfastly, like the little ivy, on the far horizon of golden triumph. And today: Strong in the strength and joy of youth We gather before we part. Anticipations beckoning beams Illumine each saddened heart. With trust and confidence we hail Each coming golden year, And in the strength of uncrushed hopes We plant thee, our ivy here. Helen Rooney 67 T E NORMALOGUE - Zlhp ibnem 0'er the walls of our loved Normal The clinging ivy climbs and sways, Each tendril bringing memories Of the classes of other days. Each root was buried tenderly, Planted with love and care And today the class of '27 Places a new plant there. We plant it with love and reverence, Pausing before we go By this one gift at parting Our loyalty to show. O, Normal, we have loved thee, Thou hast given us joy, and friends, Thou has given us knowledge and beauty That will last whate'er else ends. Thou hast watched us grow in wisdom, Thou hast sighed when we went astray, Take this we pray thee, Normal, Our last gift ere we go away. And may the sunshine grant its blessing To the ivy that we give lVIa.y the summer rains fall kindly, Helping it to live. lNIay it climb and climb forever On this dear Normal Wall Bearing from the class that is leaving, The loyalty of all.

Cody '27 Edna Ralston '27 Rebecca Eberlein '28 Kathleen Davis '27 Truth Hemenway '28 Madeleine Duncklee ,27 Gertrude Lyons '28 Mr. Wallace Venable, Faculty Member ITH the formation of our Student Council, N. A. N. S. is in strict accordance with all that is modern in student activity. The council consists of eight members, seven of whom are from the student-body, with Mr. Venable, the faculty member. The President is a Senior, and is elected by popular ballot. The remaining members represent the dormitory girls, the commutors, and those girls who are under dormitory regulations, but who are unable to receive accommodations there. N. A. N. S. believes in student government, and we believe our work is successful. It is our duty and our pleasure to work for the welfare of the school and its students in all matters pertaining to its betterment. We are in our infancy, but in future years great things will be accomplished. We are proud that we were chosen to set the ball rolling. During the first part of the year, our chief aim was to make for extra-curricula activi- ties in order to satisfy, to a degree, the desire for intellectual improvement and entertain- ment. We chose to establish a system of clubs, sponsored by and organized under the council. These organizations were: Dramatic Club Reading Club Orchestra W. A. A. We are proud of the progress made by these organizations, and we are sure that they will be a permanent part of our school life. Another important problem attacked by the council was the matter of morning assemblies. Long had this been a much discussed question. Finally, an assembly com- mittee was formed, and two mornings a week were devoted to student programs. It was the duty of this committee to appoint the participants, and to help them in any way possible. As a result, programs unusual, varied, and interesting, graced our platform Tuesday and Thursday mornings. 74 THE NOHMALOGUE The council also recognized the necessity for obtaining new ideas and thoughts from varied sources. Therefore, once in two weeks we brought speakers to the school. These talks and musical events proved interesting and very enjoyable to us all. One of the less serious accomplishments was the assembly program dedicated to Miss Pearson, wherein we tried to express an appreciation of her faithful labor and loving com- panionship during her thirty years' service in the school. We found this occasion to be one of the most pleasant of the entire year. The council formed many committees among which the social and publicity com- mittees are outstanding. It was the duty of the latter to publish in local and nearby newspapers all the school news, and it was the duty of the former to discuss problems connected with our social activities, and to assist in the execution of their plans. The election of a fire-chief and two captains was the signal for frequent drills, and careful observation of fire regulations as laid down by these officers. A big event in the annals of the school was the sending of delegates to represent us at the Spring conference of the Normal School section of the New York Society for Ex- perimental Study of Education which was held at the Hotel Pennsylvania on April 29th and 30th. Miss Cody was chosen to represent the Seniors, and Miss Hanson was the choice of the Juniors. At the meeting Miss Cody gave a talk on the local school's student activities. We are especially honored to think we were the only Massachusetts school invited to attend that conference. As we review the work of the year, we find more activities that have taken place, but we believe we have quoted those most prominent. We trust that in the years to follow, the student-body will come to a keener and fuller realization of what participation in government means: THE FULLEST COOPERA- TION UPON THE PART OF EVERYONE. After all, we are not working each in his separate sphere, but rather for our school, our community and our nation. And now a word to those who have worked so faithfully and untiringlyg to Mr. Venable whose high ideals and patient demeanor were an inspiration to usg to the members of the council, whose loyalty and earnest support were ever in evidence: We have labored long, but never vainly. In the years to come we shall see the struc- ture rise toweringly upon our foundation, and we shall be happy in the thought that N. A. N. S. has reached that pinnacle of success that we knew was hers from the beginning. HE WAS JUST- Peg: Her father is a director of the city. Bertha L.: You don't say?

Its numerous public appearances have made for them many kind friends and enthusiastic supporters. hlembership is limited to those girls who are able to sing well. and who are willing to devote some of their time to intensive, but always interesting practice under the direction of Bliss Perry. our music supervisor. To Bliss Perry, we owe much of the success of the organization. for it is under her cap- able instruction that so much progress has been made. The beauty, the grace, and the ease with which the girls sing proves her ability as an interpreter of the best in their music. During the year, more concerts and public appearances have been made than ever before. The operetta The Dragon of AVLI Foo was the most pretentious work of its kind ever presented by the school and an equal share of the credit for its success goes to the Glee Club as an organization. The repertoire of the club is an extensive one, and the quality of tone, range and breadth of volume are such as to make us proud that it is an N. A. X. S. product.

The response was such that it was necessary to form two clubs, namely the Senior and Junior. 76 L. Membership was limited to those who could pass the try-out examinations. .Xt their conclusion the Senior division had a membership of thirty-five. Officers were elected, and real work began soon afterward. At the meetings reports were given on the development of the drama, plays were read and rehearsals held for those plays that were decided suitable for production. During the year one-act plays were given, and many were produced before the student-body. The Dramatic Club has proved of great value to the school, and has become an in- tegral part of N. A. N. S. To Miss Baright goes much of the credit for the success of our dramaticsg her untiring efforts and inspiration were ever symbolic of her interest in the club. In coming years much will be accomplished by this growing organization. . 1115132 Brcbestra If all would play jirst violin, we could get rio orchestra togeilzerfi President .......... Alma Doliva '27 Secretary and Treasurer ........ Irene Murray '27 HE orchestra as a permanent institution came into being last October with an en- semble of sixteen pieces. As was quite natural, most of our musicians were artists upon either the piano or violin. However, we did secure two clarinetists, and a cornetist, former members of the Drury band, to add harmony and incidentally volume to our orchestra. We held weekly meetings, and strains of stirring marches and melodious waltzes crept through closed doors, and permeated the building to the pleasure QD of everyone. To Miss Perry, our director, we owe much, for it was her enthusiasm and never-failing sense of humor that kept the organization alive. How many members will ever forget the frequency with which she searched for her baton AND HER HANDKERCHIEF? The orchestra played often for the student-body, and made many public appearances, playing for the Senior operetta was one of these important occasions.

It consisted of thirty-five members, both Senior and Junior who gathered together once in two weeks. The Club was run according to Parliamentary procedure, presided over by Miss Brown, the president. At these meetings reports were read by the members upon books which they had been reading. Discussion followed these reports, and often lively debate ensued on the respective merits of a certain book. At other times various parts of new fiction or well-established literature were read, and commented upon by the girls. The members learned to love the best in literature, and formed a pleasant, intelligent and worthwhile habit that will always bring them the keenest of enjoyment as long as they live. 77 THE NORMALOGUE THE NORMALOGUE ?1l?lHumen'5 Zltbletic Qssuciatinn N ot the quarry but the chase, Not the laurel but the race, Not the hazard but the play Make me, Lord, enjoy alwayf' .- President . .....

It is the object of this organization to promote high physical efficiency, to stimulate and establish permanent interest in physical recreation, and the habit of participation. The VV. A. A. is governed by committees chief of which are Hiking, Health, Outdoor, and Publicity. A point system was inaugurated by which students are awarded insignia for partici- pation in sports, and for keeping health rules. This latter phase of the VV. A. A. caused much comment inasmuch as we cannt eat our usual candy and ice cream between meals. However, even the necessary six glasses of water a day failed to dampen our ardor, and as a result we are loyal devotees of health rules. The organization sponsored a May Day Fete upon the lawn before Taconic Hall. This festival took the form of a health pageant depicting the various requirements for perfect health such as cleanliness, recreation, sufficient sleep, vegetables and milk. Dorothy Welch was crowned as May Queen, and she was royally gowned in robes of yelloweand white. Her train was upheld by two light and airy creatures of the fairy- world travelling on this sphere as Ethel Gagnon and Myrtle Garcelon. After the queen had been suitably crowned, group dancing and singing was enjoyed. 78 THE NORMALOGUE ,i'f54L Smarts There's a breathless hush in the close tonight. Play up, play up, and play the game. Zgaskettlall FTER the tennis tournament quiet reigned until the call for basketball sounded. Almost every girl responded, and the hopes were bright for a winning class team. Practice was held frequently, and many were the bruises obtained in upholding the honor of the different sections. Then came lNIarch and the selection of the class teams. Excitement ran high while each girl sought to learn if she had made the team. The teams were as follows: Team I Smith, Heggie H. Corcoran Bresett, Capt. Ross Savage, Doyle Thomas Center Sub.

Chenail The day of the Senior-Junior class games was one for much conjecture. Rumors that gave the Juniors a victory were soon suppressedg rumors that crowned the Seniors were even more quickly hushed. Four o'clock came slowly, but finally, the bleachers were '79 crowded with loyal supporters of the teams, and Miss Porter blew the whistle that sent the first teams struggling for victory. It was not long in coming, the Juniors had their day. What more may be said? The Seniors, not too down-hearted, based their hopes on their second team, but they were again doomed to disappointment, for here we were again defeated by the superb playing of the underclass team. ive extend to them our congratulations at this time for the great game they put up against us. In fact we were proud to bow to defeat before them. Sports at N. A. N. S. are on a higher level than ever before, interest is high in all out- door activity, and no doubt, still greater progress will be made in the years to come. Glennie OR the first time in several years a tennis tournament was again held at N. A. N. S. The event took place in the early Fall, but before the finals were reached, it was late autumn. Games or sets were played between members of their own class, and by the process of elimination a Senior and Junior Champion was crowned. Katherine Cody was the victor in the Senior Class, and Edwina Fish of Amherst, in the Junior Class. Then, the play-off for the championship of the school. Excitement reigned high, loyal Seniors and Juniors stood on the sidelines and cheered for a victory. Wlhen the smoke of battle lifted, Fate had crowned the Senior for she won the long, hard battle for the supremacy of the courts. Again the Seniors were supreme.

The action of the story takes place in a Chinese garden in front of the house of a sup- posed Dragon. Because of the advancing western civilization the Mandarin begins to doubt the existence of the beast and demands that he should see it. Chan, a soldier to whom the Mandarin is very much opposed, is in love with Kooie Yan, his daughter. Chan persuades Tom and Jerry, two American sailors, to impersonate the Dragon. -Ac- cording to his scheme the Dragon is to abduct Kooie Yan and Chan to win the Mandarin's favor by rescuing his beloved daughter. However, the Dragon makes a mistake and captures the Mandarin's troublesome maiden aunt, Poo Chow, who at the time, is wearing a precious amulet belonging to his Honorable Majesty. Chan starts off to rescue Auntie and the amulet. On account of a bridge party date, Poo Chow returns before the planned rescue thus again frustrating Chan's scheme. However, she refuses to give up the amulet until the Mandarin consents to the marriage of Kooie Yan and Chan. The operetta was given June third at Drury. The scenery, costumes, decora- tions and advertisement materials, which were made by the Senior class, produced many 82 I ' THE NORMALOGUE harmonious and colorful effects. The two directors, Miss Mary Baright and Miss Evelyn Perry, were assisted by Miss Grace Purcell and Miss Alma Porter, in the dances, Miss Vera Andrews and Miss Mary Pearson in costumes and decorations, and hir.
