Gaffney, Cornwall, Was born near the banks of the Shannon, Ireland. Natural tendencies and an unsettled disposition influ- enced him to leave this charming spot, so he journeyed to the Land of the Maple.

To remedy this defect he is now taking a course in modern, scientific methods. 17. M. Janet Grant, Beachburg, Was born in the pretty little village of Beachburg.

One glance at her face and in it you read the qualities of industry, determination, and executive ability. As one who was a close companion during her course in the Normal School, the writer can truly say, To know her was to love her. H. E. M. 20. Annie MacDonald, Maxville, R. R. 1, comes from Glengarry. Of course she is Scotch and they say in disposition displays traits of her race. She is small and not very wise but perhaps can reason a bit. 21. Jessie MacDonald, Maxville, R. R. 1, is a native of Glengarry, who has taught in the school made so famous by Ralph Connor. Throughout this year at Normal, Jessie has done her best. Like a robin, she got up early, but knowledge was her quest. While the other three were sleeping, she the morning watch was keeping. But, perhaps, when her reward she's reaping, the other three may do some weeping. 22. Margaret Macluaurin, Cornwall.

And who will speak of Normal in the future? Margaret, if she succeeds at Easter. R. L. 24.
