H ated. DIR. CLINTON E. CARPENTER North Adams, Mass. Teacher of Child Study, Penmanshiip, M anagemenf Pedagogy We may not all be able to live up to the splendid stan- dards which have been set for us by Mr. Farpenter. but if training ourselves to summarize definite points into a sort of memory gem will help us gain such heights we are certainly well started. 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.

THE NORMALOGUE . MISS MARY ANGELINA PEARSON North Adams, Mass. MR. YVALLACE H. VENABLE 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
