As each day becomes a yesterday, our thoughts will often drift back to our Alma lllater, and, pausing for a moment in the whirl of our careers, we shall live again, in memory, these happy days of school. That the recollection of these days may ever be with us, we publish this, our Normalogue, hoping that it may cheer us and all who may read it in the years '? , l?

Can you not guess who owns these valuable qualities? VVho but Miss Porter, our friend and class advisor? During these past two years-as a friend-she has always been willing to help one with suggestions which have proved the old adage: A friend in need is ai friend indeed. As teacher of hygiene and physical education, she has imparted to us much knowledge which will aid us in living a better and healthier life and which we shall carry on in the future in an endeavor to improve the lives of the future generation. Her fine example of sportsmanship will ever he a means of helping us to Play the Game . As advisor, hliss Porter has always been ready to lend a helping hand to the class of 1928. Her un- limited supply of suggestions and her constant efforts will enable us to be more successful in the teaching field. Thus, in remembrance of her willing cooperation. her ever-ready assistance, her excellent example of impartiality and fairness and her sincere friendship, fb l 'l we, the Class of 19228, in an attempt to show our ap- preciation, dedicate this, our Normalogue, to our dear friend and teacher, Miss Alma Porter.

Through Mr. Carpenter we have-as a sort of extra- earrieulur activity-become better acquainted with modern literature of all types. The Reading Club has found in him an able sponsor and interested participant. 9 THE NORMALOGUE MR. ELIJRIIJGE North Adams, Mass.

Teacher of Botany, Gardening, Zoology lf problem lessons obstruct our path in the future, we shall feel ourselves to have been well prepared by Mr. Venable to cope with them in the best possible manner. Uf all our classes, the science room seemed to hold the most exciting events in store. There was always plenty of what one might call-natural phenomena-scattered in various parts of the room. As the Faculty members of our Student Vouneil, we have found Mr. Venable a sympathetic and sincere ad- visor. Teacher of Handzvorlf and .ilrt Who could attend Miss Pearson's classes without im- measurable gain in disseminating judgment and efficient execution. No matter how inept in artistic representation one might be, the benefit derived is still invaluable. .X truer appreciation of the beautiful in life, a keener ob- servation of nature's triumphs, are not these a source of joy for future years? Miss Pearson's pungent wit has enlivened many a class and school function. We only hope that we may. to some extent. prove worthy of her tireless endeavor on our behalf by inspiring in our children some measure of the lovc of art which she has enliindled within us. 10 THE NORMALOGUE MISS MARY LUIYISIC l5.XRIGII'l' l arniingt,on, N. ll.

Literature in all its phases has heen made more enjoyable to us. Besides all this we were eon- stantly eneouraged to express ourselves as fluently and e irreetly as heeomes our profession. lnvalnahle are the serviees for whieh we are so deeply indebted to Miss Baright. Every senior is appreeiative of her untiring work in our elass. aetivities. espeelally the play whieh was sueh a splendid prodnet. MISS SHOLES North Adams. Mass. Teacher of Handwork, SCl7ll'fC1fI'0Il, FOOIIIIIIQ and Sewing How many of us have learned a lesson in patience that we will soon not forget from Miss Sholes? Always her encouragement has helped us when we were feeling that our work wasn't at its best. Plenty of times we shall re- member Miss Sholes and her doetrine of eheerfulness when we are far from North Adams. As for the delieaeies forth-coming from the kitehen-the impressions made on us by our efforts tperhaps pathetiel are certain to be lasting. And it' the time ever comes when we need to weave rugs or model c-lays--we shall-thanks to Miss Sholes-feel capable of attempting it! 11 THE NORMALOGUE MISS PERRY North Adams, Blass. Teacher rj Mzzsic and Arithmetic Miss l'erry's sympathetic nature and spirit of cooper- ation have endeared her to all the girls. VVe fully appre- ciate how hard she has worked for us this year especially in putting on the Midsummer Xight's Dream and in the Clee flub. If we had not already a well-developed sense of fine music. we have certainly had ample opportunity in Miss Perry's classes to become acquainted with what is splendid and beautiful. We thank her for helping us to this better appreciation. MISS OW EX S Teacher of Primary Reading, Language, Grammar, and Oral Composztzon Our first day at North Adams found us like so many frightened sheep! After a class with Miss Owens, how- ever, all this was changed. lYe forgot that we were awk- ward grown-ups and so lost our self-consciousness. A bet- ter acquaintance with Miss Owens made us begin to realize the other virtues that make her such a likeable person- cheerfulness, courage and patience are some of these. Miss Owens' instructions will help us much in our future work. 122 T E I OHMALOGU MR. TIIUMAS t'lTMlNlING North Adanis, Mass.

Tavelli THE ORMALOGUE Qhhress of Ulillieltnme O the Faculty, Parents, Friends and Classmates :- lVe the class of 1928 welcome you to enjoy with us the pleasures of this, our Class Day. Building what, and for what? The snail builds without knowing how, the shell in which he lives. This process goes on from year to year, and is completed. Many birds build their nests out in the tender branches. Their building too is com- pleted. I have seen a little child on the beach building little mounds of sand with his pail, without thinking how. Crossing the Atlantic, we see in France many a castle built out on a promotory for man's protection and happiness. His aim in the building is accomplished. The Eye of Time looks upon all these pictures as one. The waves of the sea have destroyed the child's work on the beach. Stars may now be seen between the wreckage wrought by winds and storms, of the once impregnable castle. ' Even the pyramids have been nearly buried with the shifting sands of time. Man marks the earth with ruin. Assyria, Greece, Rome, Carthage-what are they? their shores obey The stranger, slave, or savageg their decay Has dried up realms to deserts. Man's effort in so far as it has been for the glory of man, has been for naught. His aims in building have been reached, and nature has overcome them. But there is a building which becomes more valuable and necessary through the cen- turies, and at no time in the history of America has it been so important as now. I mean- the building of character, which is one of the prime factors in education. In the building of character, many have followed the worn and beaten roads of the crowd, thereby becoming only lamp posts or mere guides to others. In any field of en- deavor, in the untrodden path will be found the richest treasure, for in selecting the difficult road, one is not only becoming a leader instead of a guide, but is also growing, or building his own character. 'The building of the shell, the nest, the mounds of sand, and the castle was com- pleted, but-the building of character is never completed. It is a process that is ever moving onward, and upward, therefore, we must struggle to keep our ideals high. Browning's words are : For these things tend still upward, progress is The law of life, man is not Man as yet. Returning to this building of character, those having the most influence have been our parents, teachers, and friends. Our Faculty has given us not only training in leader- ship, but has also had a great deal to do with the molding of our character. They have impressed upon us that we, as future teachers have a very important and vital task to perform. Namely, that of molding the child's character. As the Class of 1928 departs, we trust that its memory will become as a flower in the beautiful garden, and that it may bloom throughout the years, giving the joy and happiness to you who have so freely given it to us. 45 THE NORMALOGUE Classmates: May the faces here today form a picture which will hang long on the wall of our souls. Through the waste and changes of years, tho' our heads may become hoary, our hands begin to tremble, our feet cease to move with the vivacity of youth, remember,- the picture may be kept ever unfaded, for tiwill take but a breath of memory to remove the dimming dust of time. May we learn a lesson from the flower of the field, which springs up, throws out its leaf, sends forth its bud, its blossom, its bloom. As the shades of evening fall, and the sun bids farewell to the flower, the petals first droop-then drop, and having fulfilled its mission, it rejoices in the gladness it has brought to others, not mourning the brevity of its own life. And so, dear classmates, as flowers of the human family, May we not live so that flower by flower Shutting in turn, may leave A lingerer still for the sunset hour, U, A charm for the shaded eve. But, as we struggle onward and upward in our building, may we breathe the soft, sweet spirit of the Golden Rule, which teaches that our greatest good is found in service, Not for one's self, but for all. I Olive Hunt '28 Buahs We've traveled tl1e road together A road that was two years long At first our feet soon wearied, But with each step we grew more strong. Oft times the road has perplexed us And has stretches through fields of new thought And many of us have discovered The work for which we sought. Now we all are approaching A place where the roadway forks, And with mingled joy and sorrow, VVe part-to take up our work. lllarion J. Blood '28 -1-6 THE . ORMALOGUE Qlhhress tn the iiuninrs This world that u'e're a-livin' in Is mighty hard to beat, IVz'th every rose you get a thorn, But ain't the roses sweet? SUPPOSE that we seniors have all been pricked by a good many thorns during the past year but, the very hardest job of the whole two years we have spent among the blooming roses-is coming tomorrow. For tomorrow we must bid farewell to all --our faculty, our classmates, our midnight feasts, and scampering mice with whom we have become so friendly, but the sharpest and stingiest prick of all, we must each say goodbye to a member of our immediate family-our own little Junior sister! But, never fear, Juniors, to help comfort you, we are leaving a great deal of advice- free of charge, too! First, we are going to offer a few helpful suggestions for you to follow during your summer vacation, I would profit by this friendly counsel, Myself. Try and get chummy with a couple of good cement mixers for next year. Mr. Smith will want everything to be concrete. Go in for target practice regularly-several times a week. Mrs. Van adheres rigidly to the old maxim An apple a day keeps the doctor away but, just the same, she can't be held responsible if you happen to be a poor shot. Begin copying poems tonight for your anthology next year. You may be wearing your arm in a sling towards the first of June, if you don't. And, just toecultivate a spirit of helpfulness, why not make carbon copies for the weaker ones? If you think you might like to own long, flowing tresses before another year rolls around, plan to cultivate them during the summer months. You've no idea how much time and energy it will save from faculty conferences if they can be spared the effort of figuring out a method for Bliss So-and-so to arrange her hair more attractively. Plan to take at least a correspondence course in shorthand. It is the only way you will be able to take dictation from Mr. Carpenter in Management Class. In your spare time, become acquainted with two or three really nice boys, pre- ferably equipped with cars capable of climbing the trail in the dead of winter, for use at man dances next year. Some sweet obliging young thing may offer to invite a perfectly charming young man for you. But, we have had experience! Take our advice, and see him first. Make a practice of breaking the law next summer. The experience gained in the witness stand, being cross-examined by exasperating lawyers is just the drill you need for use in Psychology Class. Now, may I add a last word about the correct use of your vacation? Remember, we do not want you to become too fatigued. If it is going to prove too much for you to take the trip home Friday after Graduation, stop over until Saturday or possibly Sunday in order to afford yourself plenty of time to pack leisurely. And this summer, your parents may be lenient and a bit over-indulgent by not in- sisting that your light be out by quarter after every night. But, remember your duty as future school teachers. The time to form good worthwhile habits is now. By the time you have followed up all these suggestions it will undoubtedly be Sep- tember nineteenth and you will be back at dear old N. A. N. S. meeting your Junior sisters. 47 THE NORMALOGUE You will be rather unhappy at first, I am afraid, because, as Seniors, I think you will find that you will really have to study. But, never fear, we have even more helpful sug- gestions for your use then. Just listen- Plan to devote at least a full study hour to the preparation of The History of Your Home Town . VVe have found that one of said histories cannot be compiled quite so completely as Mr. Eldridge would like to have it during time after breakfast and 8.20. Never criticize your elders. It is very poor taste. They will constantly censure you, both as individuals and as a class, but remember, this is for your own good! Observe study hour with the same solemn severity that we have used during the past two years. All rehearsals held during study hour for vaudeville acts should be staged in rooms equipped with large, spacious closets and containing beds with dustless floors beneath them. Another thing, just because Miss Sholes has the best disposition in twenty counties, as a matter of principle, don't forget your sewing every single day in the week as an ex- cuse to come over to the dormitory after the morning mail. .- Don't get all tired out practising for the Basketball Finals. We have proved that a senior class can win if it wants to. So, another year, just live on our reputation. We'll let you. Last, but not least, don't forget the sweetness of the roses. We will not deny the pre- sence of the thorns, but, after all, this is really a jolly old world and we are apt to fine just what we are looking for. So remember: This world that we're a-livin' in Is mighty hard to beatg With every rose you get a thorn, But ain't the roses sweet?H T. Hemenway Z2 0 C ' wffazteg 3, ' 1- ,Q a si, .

Naughton 49 THE NORMALOGUE Qllass ilaistnrp High among the noble Berkshires, Overlooking rugged lands, Glorious in strength and grandeur, Our clear Alma Mater stands. ERE love, wisdom and friendship, are the greatest achievements of all. It was in September, 1926 that we, as timid, unsophisticated Juniors first ven- tured upon the cmapus of our distinguished North Adams Normal School. Comes there ever a sudden impulse in life to retrace one's afore-determined steps? Perhaps so, at least such was the feeling of some of us when first we launched our ship on this new, strange, and unbounded sea of learning. However, our fears and forebodings were soon dispelled. Mr. Smith, our worthy principal welcomed us. At the Senior-Junior Reception, which soon-followed, we made the acquaintance of many never-to-be-forgotten friends. Every ship enters not upon a voyage without its trusty guides. S0 we chose for our leaders-Evelyn Slade, Presidentg Margaret Karrey, Vice-Presidentg Olive Hunt, Secretaryg and Olive Myers, Treasurer. Our work began and the days fiew by. An undercurrent of excitement and the oft reiterated question, Whom are you taking? and What are you going to wear? an- nounced the approach of an important event in the social life of our school-the first Man Dance. At last our made-to-order day came October 12, so we started out early for our long awaited and twice postponed Greylock trip. How glad we were that we, obeying an in- ward urge to be out with nature had come at this time. Many are the happy memories of our Hallowe'en and Christmas Parties. Our Christmas Carolling not only proved an inspiration to ourselves but served as a means to impress others with the significance of the season. One of the first outstanding accomplishments of our Student Council was the in- troducing of clubs as extra-curricula activities. One thing is forever good. Success, Thus we entered-during the last sem- ester of our Junior year upon the path which we hoped would lead us to success-that of teaching. We will never forget the talk which our neighbor, Dorothy Canfield Fisher gave us on Creative Reading. Mrs. Fisher was the Todd lecturer for the year 1927. Near the end of our school year we were transported to China by the worthy presen- tation of the Dragon of Wufoo. This operetta was made possible through the com- bined efforts of the Glee Club and members of the Senior Class. At the commencement exercises we reluctantly bade Farewell to the seniors. Our first year at N. A. N. S. was ended and we felt something great had been accom- plished, but there were greater things to be undertaken. It was not Eve, but Dawn. SENIOR YEAR The reward of one duty fulfilled is the power to fulfill another. This year we returned with an additional duty-that of being a Big Sister to a Junior Girl. The class of 1928 was the first to adopt this new movement suggested by the Student Council. VVe feel that this Big and Little Sister Movement has been a great prompter of friendships. 50 'PHE N RMALOGUE One of the first things which came to the attention of us serious seniors was thc elec- tion of oflicers. We chose Olive Hunt, President, Ruth Loomis, Vice-President, Ellen Makin, Secretary, Evelyn Myers, Treasurer. Our gay and charming man-dance, together with our many other pleasures en- livened hours of teaching. The little ones at the Training School became very much enam- ored with our varieties of procedure. All our days grew full and fuller with our unique assembly programs, our interesting psychology classes, our original expression stunts, our progressive clubs, and our trips to Albany which were chaperoned by Mr. Venable and Mr. Eldridge. Late in the fall the rains descended and the floods came. The onrushing waters did not succeed in reaching Normal Hill, but in the words of Coleridge: There was Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink. On the night of February 3, we were transplanted into Fairy Land when an adap- tation of Midsummer Night's Dream was presented by the entire Senior Class. Rock-a-bye baby on the tree top. Yes, this was certainly appropriate now. One fine morning, the birth of Janet Venable, daughter of our popular Science teacher, was an- nounced. We were so overjoyed with the news, we decided to adopt Janet as our class baby. On an afternoon in springtime, three teams of Seniors met and defeated three teams of Juniors at basketball Well done, thou good and faithful Seniors! Could there have been a more inspiring, witty, forceful speaker than Dr. Charles Judd who enlightened us on our Social Inheritancef' Dr. Judd is the second Todd lecturer we have heard. As two modest participants in the Senior Play, The Rivals, we must refrain from elucidating the merits of it, but general opinion proclaims it was the best ever. Quickly following in succession have come the Glee Club Concert, tl1e Alumni Biennial Banquet, the Senior Banquet, and the Field Day Pageant, on which day Juniors, Seniors, and pupils of Mark Hopkins Training School excelled in games, dances and contests. Now, Seniors, our history of days at N. A. N. is ended. We should like to thank all our teachers for their patience, smiles and words of encouragement which have held us to our course. Thus we shall enter a new harbor on life's sea, ever remembering:- The teacher has the noblest task The hungering heart of man could ask, To point the way to educate, To vivify, to recreate, To banish strife and bring sweet hope, To light the way for those who grope, To opt' new worlds, throw steadying light, Remove the doubt, confirm the right, With living fact in diligence. To motivate intelligence. With patient seeking find the Soul And nurture it to perfect whole, With noblest art make those who plod Look up and swing in step with God. Evelyn Holt Beatrice Wright 51 THE NORMALOGUE 1Brnpbecp nf Glass uf 1928 Yronne-lDoesn't it seem good to be back at N. A. N. S. after six years absence? Rufus-Yes, and wasn't it fun seeing the girls again at the banquet? I'l'0I17lC'-'I.llllS is room 18, isn't it? Viv Hebert and Ann Donnis lived here. When they left this room I'll wager they never thought they would go into the day nursery business, but they are fine caretakers. Riqfus-Why I never expected them to go into that sort of thing. By the way, did you see Ethel Rollins at the banquet? She was trying to get me interested in her day nursery. I think I really would have donated a little but she said she had very few Negro children and I think Pickaninnies are so cute don't you? Yvonne-Isn't this the Alumnae issue of the Axis? I wonder what it says about our class. Rufus-What luck! Now we can hear about ourselves. Alice Macedo, did you see her picture in the rotogravure section of the Sunday paper? She is hostess of a new night club in New York. I'z'onne-Slie must make a popular hostess. You know Christine Alderman is a member of the Laughing Chorus which entertains tired business men. She chummed with Gert Lyons who is the originator of the Just-So Curls. They are quite a fad in Holly- wood. Rzrfus-O yes, did you notice my marcel, Yvonne? I like it loads and where do you suppose I got it? At a little beauty shop on Ashland Street that Stella Norris has started. l'z'onne-Did you hear Adeline Briggs' speech at the banquet? I never knew she could elucidate on the subject Men, Principals, and Superintendentsf, VVhom did you sit with? Rufus-Well, Dot Shultz sat near me and tried to sell me something-Now let me see what was it? A folding bath-tub or an automatic onion peeler. Anyway she was a very good saleswoman and whatever it was it cost me 32.50. Yvonne-That reminds me. I went to Cheshire yesterday and stopped at a large farm- house for water. Ruth Jenks greeted me. It seems Ruth has had her one desire granted, to spend the rest of her days shooing ducks from the back porch and raising- little-onions. Rzqfuis-Have you been out to Blackinton to visit the ideal farm? I had heard much about it and when I found that Evelyn lVIyers and Evelyn Van Horn were running it I was surprised. I z'onne-Oli, there goes Dorothy Bates. Do you remember her? She played the lead in our Senior play. lvell, now she is understudy for John Barrymore in Hamlet.', Rzqfus-Another important place in the theatrical world is being well filled by one of our class-Helen Naughton has taken over the vacancy which was left by E. H. Southern. I'1'onne-I wonder how many more of our classmates have become famous. I know that Rebecca Eberlein is President of VVellesley College, and of course you couldn't forget the fact that Edwina Fish has taken Helen Wlills' place and is getting Europe by love- games. Rzqfus-Have you seen Katharine Osgood play? Her baseball nine is becoming world- famous. Yvorzmf-Not only baseball nines are becoming famous but so are the gowns designed by Ellis and Holt. 52 THE NORMALOGUE Rufus-Speaking of clothes. The present students are certainly well-groomed. It must be because they have such an efficient tailor-Agnes Salmon is very successful in that line- The sins of the fathers are certainly visited on the children. Yvonne-lVIildred Bergman's lecture today on The Elimination of Mice from Our Universe was to the point, wasn't it? Rzqfus-Tlle other day I heard Doctor Shulda speak over the radio from the Dental Vol- lege: She is a well-known authority on teeth and has certainly gone far since Normal days. Yvonne-You know, Rufus, I haven't seen Eunice Brown since graduation but I heard she is running her father's grain business and raising what are known as the Brown Birds, a new type of hen. Rufus-iVell, well here's the bus from Adams full of alumnae. Since Marvis Stetson started her bus line the cares of the commuters are over. Yvonne-There's Mildred Davis getting out of the bus. The last I heard she was nur- sing mumps patients. And Florence Desautels is teaching dancing in Ned Wayburn's school in New York. Rufus-VVhen I was in New York I saw Elsie lNIilotte's name on Broadway. Mrs. Mal- aprop has surely gained fame. Yvonne-I went to Boston recently to see one of her plays and before the matinee I sauntered into this huge beauty parlor and a very modern person inquired if we had an appointment. I almost collapsed-why it was Edith Dann only her nom de beauty parlor is Miss Chippett. Rufus-VVhen I was in Boston this spring I saw the cutest child in Filene's, modeling in the children's department-guess who it was? Yes. you're right it was Ruth Pollard. I met Kitty ivise on the street while there and she asked me to visit her. I was surprised when I found out that she was matron of a Home for Aged men. The poor dears seemed very happy and contented though. Y ronne-I sat between Agnes Dorsey and Anna Joyce at the banquet. They informed me that I should see the results of their efforts at reforming the modern youth. They have a retreat for lonely hearts. Jean Drysdale is doing something unusual. She has joined the Paulistina choir which sings with the Salvation Army. Rufus-People are doing unusual things these days. Coming up on the train I read a new book. It's An Answer to Gentlemen Prefer Blondes written by Alicia Scanlan. All the critics say that she has spent a long time collecting material for it. Yvonne-I read a book by one of our classmates, called lVinnie at iYaverly. Can you imagine by whom it was written? Rufus-Certainly. I always thought that Nora Harrington had enough information on that subject to fill a book. W'hy it says here in the Normalogue that the senior pictures were taken by Katherine iNIcGowan who has taken lNIrs. Sanford's place. Speaking of changes, I noticed Ger- trude hlc Laughlin was in the library where Miss Donelson used to be. Yvonne-I havn't seen Barbara Dilk in ages. Really, I think it must be two weeks. Then she was having a terrible time teaching a flock of seals to stand on their heads. Rrzgfus-Do tell? Did you see the Presidential Car last night? The first lady of the land was arriving with her body-guard. Honey O'Dea is certainly just as democratic as ever for all her high position! 53 THE ORMALOGUE Y ronne-Loretta Donsbough has quite a high position too. She is a judge in Ashley Falls. I had to find that out by being arrested for speeding and brought before her. She was quite lenient I assure you. Rufus-O yes, I read about your arrest in the paper. There was a good deal about the election in Hatfield too. It must bave heen very exciting. Martha Pelissier as the mayor will no doubt be very successful. VVere you at Ellen lNIakin's inauguration? W'asn't I thrilled when they announced the new woman governor of Nebraska. Yvonne-You'll never guess what I read about Charlotte Dankszewicz in our paper. She's changed her name to Mrs. Doe. I wouldn't be troubled very much with the spelling of that one. I know of four others who have committed matrimony. Mrs. Radcliffe Morrill, formerly Olive Hunt, is bringing up four little would be Presidents. Eulalia Fraga is wed to a nobleman who fell in love with her first name and now she's Lady Eulalia. Gert Keys married a man named Locke. It must be a good com- pany, the Locke and Keyes. Rufus-Matrimony prevented Minnie Walker from coming back to the banquet, since her Ladies' Aid was having a special meeting. I think Helena Miliman has taken up matrimony as a life work, too. Do you remember how interested she used to be in saxophone playing? ' Yvonne-They didn't all turn out old maids, did they? I wonder what became of Dor- othy Haskins? She went into the Amazon exploring and they havn't heard from her. I suppose the jungle fascinated her. Rzjus-You know for a long time I've been planning a trip abroad this summer and I've decided to consult Margaret Wilcock who organizes the VVilcock tours. I'm plan- ning to stop at Hawaii on my way. Yl'07l.1l8-YOU could plan to see Katherine Kane. She is teaching there and likes it. VVhy here's Bernadette Foley's picture. Her school of Elocution gave a recital in Fall River and Bernadette read The Highwaymanf' You should have heard her. Rufus--Beatrice Wright's expression has helped fit her for her present responsibilities. She is the counsel for the defense in that scandalous case over the ownership of an air- plane. One would never expect Belle Putnam and Bernice lVarren to be involved in such a serious dispute. Yvonne-I was told Helen French got her job through a pull. She is the most famous dentist in her town. Madeline Goodermote is her assistant. The most sympathetic girl in our class has a fine job. Marleah Graves is selling Fords. She induces people to buy the cars and then she sympathizes with the Fords. Rzdus-My, my how changed things are. There's Eva Pitt now. Since she has taken up her work as skating instructor she has not fallen off nearly as much. Perhaps you didn't know that Mary Peters had forsaken the professions. She has been studying medicine and is now practising in rural districts. Yvonne-All I could find out about Mary Hannaford was that she was keeping the home- fires burning and working on an invention which will make short people tall. Louise Hanson, is still guiding people through the Old North Church and doing charity work. R ufus-Did you know that Dorothy Meeker has composed a popular song called Meeker Love You and is living on the royalties. Olive Myers is still musical, too. W'hen I was at the Teacher's Convention, I heard her play for a gym exhibition. Her sense of rhythm is still with her! f'l'07l7l8-Tl1lS is nothing but the truth. Truth Hemenway owns a shirt-making factory, and they tell me she keeps her employees in stitches. Elsie Cahoon is also helping humanity by conducting a sanitarium for tired school-teachers. 54 THE r NORMALOGUE Rufus-Yes, indeed, Thelma Nutting is there resting from a nervous strain which she went through, when striking for more pay. Yvonne-Didnit we have quite a poet in our class? Oh yes! Marion Blood! She writes poetry for the East Sidersg you know that is one means of getting them close to nature. Rufus--She was a very sweet girl. Mary Moriarty and Pauline Newton were two of the sweetest, also. Mary because of her diplomacy is-I understand-an ambassador of international affairs. And you must stop in the Cheat 'em Boys Tea Room on Cape Cod that Pauline is managing. Yvonne-Why I didn't know that Bertha Fobes had charge of archery at North Adams. This is a fine picture of her with her outfit. Rufus-In connection with the faculty now, did you know that Miss Jenkins had retired and Eleanor Walker is filling her place very satisfactorily. She always did have a soft spot in her heart for rural schools. Yvonne-Rhoda Harper's knowledge of school papers must have something to do with her present position as editor of a large newspaper. I think the H erald-Tribune. Rufus-Why Anna Quinn has a column on that paper! She writes Ann's Agonizing Ad- vice. One can buy advice for three cents a line and that is really quite inexpensive. Helen Stewart was a good friend of hers. She is still in the paper city and by her efforts has added to its distinction. The effects gained by her wall-papering are quite wonderful! Yvonne-She furnishes Jenniemae Cooper's interior decorating establishment with her fine paper. Have you noticed the changes in the dorm? Mary Young has certainly done wonders here. Even the radiators are hand-painted! Rufus-That looks like Evelyn Slade coming around the corner. Did you know she was managing a correspondence school, teaching young girls how to be real ladies. We all know how successful she would be in that field. Speaking of educating girls, I hear Mr. Smith is recommending the Finish'em School for girls where May 0'Donnell is the dean and a splendid influence for the girls. The professor of archaeology, Margaret Mullen is enjoying her Sabbatical year among the tombs of Egypt. Yvonne-Yes, so I have heard and Mary Perry is abroad, too. She made such a nice maid in The Rivals, that she is now in the Dinklcwink Monarchy acting as lady- in-Waiting to her Royal Highness. Sophie Kronick and Celia Less are abroad im- personating the Duncan Sistersn. I hear they have scored quite a success. Rufus-Were you down on the baseball field yesterday when Ann Sears landed? The normal girls need worry no more because of late arriving mail since Ann started her air mail. I wonder if you knew what Ruth Williams was doing? She has a perfectly lovely hot dog stand down on Ashland St. Even the Atlanta Special is badly crippled by the competition. Yvonne-I haven't seen Ida Tavelli since I came back. Someone said that her gasoline station on the road to Williamstown keeps her pretty well tied down. YVhy there goes Marjorie Powers!! Rufus-I-Iaven't you heard how much more adept the normal girls have become at horse- back riding since Marge started her riding school? Y vonne-Last but not least have you heard the latest about Lindy -I mean Mae Johnson's dog Lindy. I hear that Mae is teaching him to talk, and they are going on the Keith Circuit. Rufus-Are you surprised, Yvonne, that so few girls followed the teaching profession? Yvonne-I don't know, Rufus, I think most of us expected it and after all, I don't think the teaching profession has suffered much, do you? Rufus-Why there is a speaker on in three minutes, we really must go, but it has been fun discussing the girls.

For twenty-nine years, classes of young people, hopeful, full of enthusiasm and the fresh radiance of youth have stooped and with reverent hand placed the tiny ivy plant in the bosom of old Mother Earth. Today we shall do so and this ivy. symbol of our hopes and aspirations will be mingled with the ideals and attainments of twenty-nine classes that have gone before us. We are thus irrevocably linked up with the past. It is symbolic of the present as it has not attained its full growthg it is young, tender, and untried. It symbolizes our future. How high will it climb? Will its tiny tendrils cling hard and fast to the wall, no matter how hard the substance? Will it spread to some unex- plored, open space and be a pioneer? What will it do with its throbbing life? What will we do with ours? I am reminded at this time of this subtle bit of philosophy from the rich culture of India so aptly expressed by Rabindranth Tagore in his translation from the original Bengali: One day when the lotus bloomed, alas, my mind was straying, and I knew it not. My basket was empty and the flower remained unheeded. Only now and again a sadness fell upon me, and I started up from my dream and felt a sweet trace of a strange fragrance in the south wind. That vague sweetness made my heart ache with longing and it seemed to me that it was the eager breath of the summer seeking for its completion. I knew not then that it was so near, that it was mine, and that this perfect sweetness had blossomed in the depth of my own heart. Can this ivy here today stir within us this eager breath of summer seeking for its completion? I do not know beneath what sky Nor on what seas shall be thy fate: I only know it shall be high, I only know it shall be great. Rebecca Eberlein 59 ir' 1 ?

I.ast year it was firmly grounded and we believe this year a definite contribution has been made toward further strength- ening the ideals for which it stands-development of strong leadership and cooperation through student self government. If the many and varied activities controlled, directed or accomplished by the Council were to be outlined you would soon grow weary and in this day of few words and much action cease to read before reaching the end. Instead of enumerating the attainments or contributions which are now history and indelibly written in the annals of our Nornal School life you will be more interested to know the reasons for the successful completion of the year's work. First, the Council expresses its indebtedness to you, readers, for it is you who are mainly responsible for the large number of projects successfully carried out. You-mem- bers of the classes of '28 and '29, for did not each one of you do yourself proud in one or more assembly programs in spite of the fact that you may have shivered and chattered in- wardly and lain awake the whole night before in anticipation of your public appearance? Think a moment. Is not this but one of many instances where you have shown co- operation and stood loyally back of your school in what it attempted to do? Every Council member is to be commended for her prompt and regular attendance at the regular and special meetings. This is especially praiseworthy and plays no small part in the success of any club or organization. Mr. Smith, while remaining very much in the background, has displayed a sym- pathetic interest and comradeship that has been apparent in all situations. To Mr. Venable a chorus of praise is due. You may be sure he lent his Scientific Mind to the practical solution of every problem that arose. Many was the time he put his finger right on the spot that needed the treatment most and guided us in thinking in a straight and unbiased way. He always let the other person have an opinion. Bi- monthly he rushed in from the rural school where he was observing to be on hand at our meetings. hir. Venable has studied the problem of Student Government at Columbia University and his inspiration, counsel and co-operation as just one of us is inestimable. He always knows what he is saying and best of all-everybody on the Council likes him and his presence there has been always enjoyed. hliss Jenks, Secretary of the Council has kept such complete, neat, legible and ac- curate records that it is a pleasure to read them. Her zeal has been unfailing and she never had to be instructed twice to do a thing. 65 'PHE NORMALOGUE In the opinion of those who know the chairmanship of a permanent Council com- mittee is one of the most responsible positions in the school and calls for real display of perseverance and leadership. There is apt to be much work and little glory. Girls are selected for these offices because of definite exhibition in the Junior year of the qualities necessary to carry on this work. To Miss Ellen Makin-Assembly chairman and her committee is due the credit for unique and inspiring assembly programs. Not only were student programs presented but many speakers and musicians of importance were secured. At the New York Conference of Student Government leaders attended by Misses Eberlein and Meehan as delegates no record of the yearly program outlined by any other Normal School or Teachers' Training College surpassed the achievements of our own committee. Miss Helen Naughton, Chairman of Publicity and Publication showed her natural talent for reporting in local and city papers. She was ably assisted by her committee and only lack of space prevents us from mentioning each one individually. The Social Committee headed by Miss Yvonne Benoit planned- the order of social events of the school and added a Valentine Party to our list of social events. As the old adage goes- Last but not least is the Lunch Room Committee. The day students have made a laudable contribution to our school in the care of the lunch- room. We feel the splendid leadership and tact exercised by Miss Gertruce Lyons as chairman is largely responsible. These committees have worked faithfully day by day with persistent steadiness of purpose toward their goal and without periodical pats on the back. This report would not be complete if the clubs chartered by the Council were not mentioned. The club life has a socializing influence that cannot be met elsewhere. Enthusiasm, interest and real joy has been evident in the club life of our school. A per- fectly splendid example of co-operation was given when each club contributed generously to a fund for the New York delegates. The Circus put on by the Reading Club, the Dra- matic Club play and the Travel Club lecture are worth mentioning twice. The Senior Class feels no trepidation in passing on to the Class of 'Q9 the leadership of this carefully nurtured child of student self government. Vile are confident that the class of next year will see a giant stride forward not only because of efficient leadership of Council members but strong and loyal support from the common soldier of the ranks.

NOTHER year has passed and the Glee Club has upheld the enviable record at- tained by former classes. A very successful concert supplanted last year's operetta. Miss Perry with her usual untiring efforts was the mainstay of the affair and to her and Mr. Edward Ransome, the renowned tenor of Boston whose voice is of unusual charm, is due the credit of its success. The Glee Club, as the oldest organization in the school has a reputation to maintain- a reputation established by many commendable public appearances in the past. We, the present Seniors, have endeavored to carry on the good work and our greatest wish for the classes to come is that they may appreciate their capable director, Miss Perry, and make possible many more successful years for the N. A. N. S. Glee Club. The officers of the organization are: President ..... Sophie Kronick Librarian Bernadette Foley Secretary Elsie Millotte Treasurer Minnie Walker Ulrahel Klub President . .... Mary Young 'Q8 Vice-President . Cecile DeBlois 'Q9 Secretary . . May 0'Donnell '28 Treasurer . . . Marie Souza '29 HE TRAVEL CLUB is a new organization this year. It was formed in the fall by girls who were interested in learning something about their own country and other countries. The program of the year was varied and of interest to each girl. A very profitable illustrated lecture was given on Hawaii for the benefit of the New York trip. During the year reports on books of travel, life in other countries and per- sonal adventures in traveling were given by the members. Very entertaining talks were given by invited guests who had traveled extensively. There is no doubt but what this club has had a very successful and beneficial Hrst year. 67 THE NOHMALOGUE ZJBramatic flliluh President . ..... Beatrice lvright Vz'r-e-Presiclent Jean Drysdale Secretary . Agnes Dorsey Treasurer .......... Elsie Cahoon LTHOUGH we have not hada motto for the Dramatic Club of the North Adams Normal School, we might have used the quotation, Suit the action to the word and the word to the actionf' for this, in a sense, is what we have tried to accomplish. The means of doing this have been many and varied. V, Under the leadership of our willing and most helpful sponsor, Miss Baright, and our efficient president, Beatrice lVright, we elected a program committee of which Miss Dorothy Haskins was chairman. During the eight weeks that Bliss Haskins was training, Bliss Dorothy Schultz was substituted. The programs which these girls arranged were entertaining in the extreme. At one of the first meetings, well known songs were played on the victrola and the parts were acted by the girls. We were surprised to find that so many old clothes could be obtained in the dormitory and though the appearance of the girls acting in The Volga Boatmenu would not have impressed a superintendent, the desired results were obtained. p In order that we might contribute our share to the New York Trip, a one act play, Our Aunt from California was given lllarch fourteenth in the assembly hall. lNIuch could be said to commend the spirit and willingness of the cast and all others connected with this play which was a great success and our twelve dollars were easily earned. After the performance had been given in the assembly hall, the cast was cordially in- vited by lNIrs. Smith, to go to l1er home and repeat it for Dir. Smith, who at that time was confined to his house because of illness. VVe were assured that the play met with equal success at its second performance. On the eighteenth of April the Drury Drama Club of Drury High School presented a program for our group. A cast is now working on Sauce for the Goslings to return, in the near future, the compliment to the Drury Drama Club. These are but a few of the many things which we have done in our club. If the Dramatic Club continues to show the good fellowship and co-operation in the future that it has this year, it will prove to be an interesting and excellent part of the Extra-Curricula Activities of N. A. N. S. 68 'PHE NORMALOGUE Beahing Qiluh President . ..... Marleah Graves Vice-President . Bessie Langdon Secretary . . Mildred Bergmann Treasurer .......... TVinifred Ellis HE Reading Club which was organized in 1926 has accomplished much in a short period of time. This year it had a membership of twenty-six, twenty-five students, and Miss Donelson, our librarian, being an honorary member. Mr. Carpenter was unan- imously appointed the club advisor. Its social events have been both novel and delightful. One very enjoyable meeting was held at the home of Mr. Carpenter. Some members of the Club have had the op- portunity to conduct meetings, the plans of each varying greatly. One member was suc- cessful enough to get as a speaker, Mrs. Elridge, who gave several valuable suggestions. Later in the year, Mrs. Furst, the Adams librarian, spoke quite informally to the Club, rousing the interest of all from the very beginning . Discussions of books read have been given at each meeting. Original poetry and plays have been written. Miss Donelson and Mr. Carpenter both spoke various times throughout the year and it was their help and fine attitude toward the club that made the year such a success. hfuch may also be said of the fine work Miss Graves, the president, has done. 7HZ!liumen'5 Qthlztic flliluh President . ........

Do you remember the jolly and carefree day that was spent at Mausert's Pond? Hot dogs and cocoa! Rowing. too!! Some changes were made in the Constitution of the VV. A. A. and in the Point System. In November the Association sent a delegate to a WV. A. A. Convention held in Bridge- water. Each school told of its organization and many suggestions were obtained. Later in the year a project was launched. A committee was chosen, whose work consisted of organizing material which would be of use to the girls in the teaching field. The aim of this project is to aid and advise any graduate in difficulties which may arise in the field of hygiene and physical education. Under the auspices of the W. A. A. the pageant for Child Health Day was developed. The pageant The Wealth of the Four Seasonsn was given by the children in the Mark Hopkins Training School in June. Miss Gertrude Lyons was crowned May Queen. The Normal School girls took only a minor part in the production. 69 THE NORMALOGUE Ulibe QBrtbestra United we stand, separated, we fall.

Nevertheless, we managed to up- hold our name with seven pieces,-four violins, two clarinets, and the piano. Did anyone suspect who was the celloist whom we occasionally had within our walls. Be prepared for a big surprise. It was none other than Miss Perry, our never-tiring, ever- cheerful director, to whom we owe a great deal both in our social and business relations. Shall we ever forget the parties as well as the rehearsals? No, never! comes from all seven throats. On several occasions, the orchestra has played for the student-body and Mark Hopkins pupils. To the great joy of both, the orchestrs at the training school and the Normal orchestra have often rehearsed in conjunction, affording us as much pleasure as the children, I'm sure. VVith such faithful work, we have no doubt but that the Orchestra will remain and become famous in the future. 70 THE NORMALOGUE igaskethall T last! At last! The Seniors have won the inter-class basketball games from the Juniors!! The first time in years that a Senior class has accomplished such a stu- pendous, over-whemling feat! A brief sketch will perhaps give an idea of the event and its importance in the minds of the student body. As the day of the games approached, excitement ran high. As a precedent seemed to have been established that the Juniors would carry away the Laurels, the seniors were all the more determined to fight for victory. What a day! As the final whistle blew for the first game, the score favored -the Seniors! The other two games were merely rep- petitions of the first. Altho' the Juniors played great games, the Seniors were just a bit better. However, we hope that next year these Juniors, as Seniors, will carry on the record that we have started for them. 71 A , V iii in , The iBIap's tbz Thing NE might have proved conclusively to oneself the truth of this statement by visiting our halls of learning on or before April 18th. The phenomenal success of our rather ambitious undertaking was due, to a great extent, to Miss Baright's indefatigable efforts. With the dramatic ability of our most talented members, and a well-chosen play, Sher- idan s The Rivals Miss Baright coached the production which raised the commend- able standard of our school a degree higher. The cooperation of the whole school and the loyal support of the numerous friends of the institution contributed in no small way to our achievement. To the Juniors we offer sincere thanks and a wish that they may uphold the dramatic reputation built by each succeeding class 73 e THE NORMALOG-UE THE NORMALOGUE 1'-v 4 janrmalugue itaff Editor-in-Chief Helen French Business Ma nagetrs Christine Alderman Evelyn Holt Circulation Editor Dorothy Bates Associate Editors Evelyn lNIyers Loretta Donsbough Faculty Advisors Mr. Smith Bliss Baright 74 Writefup Editors Louise Hanson Ruth Loomis Joke Editor Diary Hannaford lllarvis Stetson Eulalia Fraga t THE NORMALOGUE what wuulh Ziaappen to 312.
