©ebtcatton Piograpfjp Mr. H. Otis Noyes was born in Woodstock, Maine. He attended the public schools of that place until his Junior year in high school when he moved to Portland, Maine, where he completed his high school course in the Deering High School of that city. In 1917 he entered the University of Maine, graduating from that institution in 1922 with a B.A. degree. During the World War he served with the 212th Engineers. His first teaching position was in the High School of Danforth, Maine, where he was instructor in Social Sciences and French, and served as Vice-Master. Later he became a member of the Haverhill High School Faculty, Haverhill, Mass., serving as instructor in Social Sciences. This position he resigned sometime later to become Head of Social Sciences in Melrose High School, Melrose, Mass. In 1927, Mr. Noyes received his M.A. degree from Columbia University. The last part of that same year he became a temporary member of the faculty at Plattsburg State Normal School. In 1928 he was appointed Head of the Department of English and Literature in Plattsburg State Normal School which position he holds at the present time. The Class of 1932 was very fortunate, indeed, in securing Mr. Noyes as its Faculty Adviser. During the three years we have been in Normal, he has shown him- self to be a man of rare abilities, and, in every respect, he has been a most true and helpful friend to all members of the Class. With genuine pleasure the Class of 1932 extends to Mr. Noyes its best wishes for happiness and success in future years. « 8 »

the: cardial gnstoer to Metrication To the Members of the Class of 19)2: You arc about to enter upon the great adventure. Young, hopeful, virile, you are starting down the road at whose terminal looms the eternal question mark. May this road be rilled with zestful sunshine and refreshing shadow and may the journey itself be not too exacting. If the end of the trail does not reveal the wealth of the pot of gold, may it bring you the wealth of well-earned happiness and contentment. As a class and as individuals, you have shown marked improvement during the past three years. You are going out into a world whose society is undoubtedly more complex than that of any other period of civilization. Adjustments will not always be made easily. However, among the mazes of radical suggestions and conservative ad- monitions, there are certain fundamentals which always have been fixed in value. There are no substitutes for honesty, tolerance, industry and character. Give these four friends a chance to influence your life and the results will not be disappointing. 1 congratulate you upon your graduation. You have made a fine start in your chosen profession. Remember there is no service of greater value than that rendered by the true tf.acher. As you succeed or fail, you will not only bring happiness or sorrow to yourself but you will also bring one or the other to those who are spending their lives that you, and others like you, may be of service to mankind. My relations with you during the past three years have been pleasant indeed. In one sense I am sorry to have you leave the Normal for you will be missed. How- ever, in another sense I am glad that you have achieved this particular goal. My part- ing wish is that Life may deal kindly with you and bring to each of you the fullest measure of success and contentment. !. j »
