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

MISS ELIZABETH JENKINS North Adams, lVIass. Super1'1'sor of E'.zftension Department, and Rural Df3l7l071SfI'fl1'1.07l, Schools, Teacher of Rural Education Since many Normal School graduates begin their teach- ing experience in rural communities, it was thought neces- sary to open a rural education course. 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.
