zs Dedicated To The Training School
The Training School is not a beautiful building, but it has an air of permanence that is reassuring in these portable days. On a late winter afternoon when windows become blocks of yellow light, it achieves a kind of spreading warmth allied to beauty.
In the spring it is something of a relief to find its red brick still solid in a mad green world when even earth seems transient.
Yet a school—any school—is more than a simple structure. Buildings are shells to guard and hold whatever within may be precious. The walls of the Training School shelter knowledge, purpose, ideals:—the knowledge that is handed on to children, the purpose of students who will one day be teachers, the ideals of those who are strengthening both knowledge and purpose by teaching children and students.
The prose of day after day in school may seem a dull place in which to seek poetry. You who believe this have forgotten how to dream yourselves awake. Can you stand before children and watch their ideas come to life under your slight power, without an atom of the feeling that artists know? Or do you close your ears to the rhythm of creation and hear only restlessness?
The Training School gives to some of us this broader vision of teaching, through the understanding of those who are our guides. We should be lost in self-consciousness and the fear of skepticism if we talked about if often. To live it—that may be the way of appreciation.
The Training School is not a beautiful building?

ALMA MATER
Dedicated to Dr. Albert G. Boyden
Principal, 1860-1906
Oh loved Alma Mater we greet thee, Thy daughters and sons from afar, As often we pause in our toiling To hail thee, whose children we are.
Refrain
Hail to Normal ! Hail to Normal Safe for aye in mem'ry's shrine; Hail to Normal! Dear old Normal! Praise and love be ever thine.
With strong, steady hand dost thou lead us,
Thy powerful arm is our stay; Thy light is our beacon in darkness, Which ever will lend us its ray.
Oh may thy fair name live forever, Be deeply impressed on each heart; That we in our trials and triumphs May ne'er from thy guidance depart.

IN MEMORIAM—FLORENCE E. GRISWOLD
"She is not dead; she sleepeth." And bids all be of good cheer, Like the grasses and flowers We'll think of her cheerful face Which in winter withdraw That gave no hint of suffering, At the call of their Maker, But showed a love of nature, And bide their time in patience, And of all creatures of God. Hidden from the sight of man, And when the leaves of the trees Leaving behind bright memories, Rustle in the summer wind, Enobling influences, In memory her voice we'll hear; And hopes of future brightness, And as the flowers burst forth
She, too, is now gone from us. And charm us by their sweetness, But when the springtime comes again, With the angel we shall say,
And the valiant robin's call "She is not here; she is risen." Gives to the world a message, Kathleen Winfree

President . THOMAS CHESTER BARHAM, JR. Vice-President FRANCES MAY BRYANT
Secretary . ELEANOR WILSON GOMLEY
Treasurer . ALFREDA OSBORNE RITCHIE History SCENE: The front steps of the main building at the Normal School, Bridgewater.
CHARACTERS : A stranger — An undergraduate of the school (They are watching a huge passenger plane disappear into the air.)
Undergraduate: "I see, stranger, you are watching with interest the departure of that air- plane."
Stranger: "Yes, I am. Can you tell me about the passengers in it?" U: "I should be glad to, for you should know about them. They are the forty-three illus- trious members of the graduating class of 1928, leaving school after four happy years
f pent together in work and play. They are unique in one experience, for they have attended classes in the old building, being Freshmen when the fire occurred on December 10, 1924; in the Basement Col- lege; and they are fortunate in having been in the new building two years." S: "How interesting! Tell me more of the activities of this group." U: "They have stood their ground admirably in all their endeavors: scholastically, athlet- ically and socially. As Freshmen they were content to follow the lead of their super- iors, but made their presence felt in a quiet, unassuming way. During their Sophomore year they began to step into the lime-light with their revival of the old dances at the Social of the '26's. That night Miss Newton appeared, in a beautiful old-fashioned gown and told the group about the socials of her day, and in one more way endeared herself to the whole school. In their third, or Junior year, the athletes shone, and the class came out on top in many events. At the end of this year some of their number decided to graduate, so boarded their planes and flew into the world. This year was rather saddened by the tragic death of one of the men—one who will never be forgotten for his scholastic ability and ever-pleasant manner. At last their Senior year came. One night early in the year they, as a class, took the whole school on a tour of the Far East at their Social, and from that time forth the Normal School began to be known as Note-Book Land. This final year was a happy and beneficial one to each and every member, and now they have departed into the world to take their chosen places." Eleanor W. Gomley i 14 } CLASSES
CLARA MARY ALMSTEAD
79 West Street, Greenfield, Mass. W. A. A. '24-28; Hockey '24- '28; Basketball '24'-28; Baseball '24- '28; W. A. A. Board '27'-28; President of W. A. A. '27- '28; NORMAL OFFERING Board '25-'27; Class Secretary-Treasurer '25-'26; Glee Club '25-'26; French Club '25-'26. Clara has poise and a ready vocabulary, thus making us proud of her when she speaks in Chapel. She deserves praise in studies and ath- letics, for she excels in everything that she does. Clara was one of the noble group who elected English history this year. As president of W. A. A., she continued to uphold the high standards of that organization.
MARY DOROTHY BAIR
1 Healy Street, Dudley, Mass. W. A. A. '25-'28; Library Club '24- '28; Secretary-Treasurer of Library Club '26- '27; Dormitory Council '26- '27; Vice-President of Normal Hall '26-'27; Hospitality Committee '26-'27. Mary Bair is one of those fortunate persons who possesses a disposition which refuses to become ruffled. Mary gives one the impression of being demure, but don't you believe it! One day, just before school, she succeeded in locking herself in her room and had to be rescued by a knight in overalls, armed with ham- mer and screw-driver. Mary is worthy of being called "friend."
LILLIAN ISABEL BLINN
Main Street, Dighton. Garden Club '24-'26. VV. A. A. '24- '27. Blinnie belongs to the group of commuters from Fall River. A straight black bob buried perhaps in a book on the history of art; rimmed glasses perched on a straight nose; a smile even in the face of difficulty—that might describe Blinnie.

RUTH PARKER BOEHNER
388 Titicut Street, State Farm, Mass. W. A. A. '25-'28; Baseball '25-'28; Basketball '26- '28; Hockey '26-'28; Girl Scouts '26-'28. We have often scoffed at the suggestion that
students continually burn the midnight oil, but that was before we met Beanie. She has shown us that much is to be
gained by basking in such ghastly light, for she is not only a class leader in scholarship, but a great worker in social and
athletic affairs. It is always difficult to say just where she
is, but the nearest guess is "somewhere between Middleboro and Hanover, going strong." Ruth's crowning achievement came in her A year, when she put the Lost and Found Department on a paying basis.
MARION BOTTOMLEY
625 June Street, Fall River. Dormitory Council '28; Library Club '27- '28; Library Staff '28; W. A. A. '28. One of the first things they told us in 1924 was that good thick notebooks "meant something". Marion took it liter- ally. We remember the day when she had to make three trips to bring in her literature notebook. Never mind, we may be jealous, but we admit her laurels. Few of us know more about books and libraries than Marion, and that will give her prestige—that indefinable something—in teaching.
MARION LOUISE BRINE
9 Paul Revere Road, Arlington Heights, Mass. Glee Club '24- '26; W. A. A. '24-'28; W. A. A. Board '26-'27; Hock- ey '27-'28; NORMAL OFFERING Board '27-'28. Briny, with her curly smile and pale gold hair, has been a staunch friend during all four years. Unassuming, yet one always finds her present when occasion demands either hard work or a bit of nonsense. Briny's penmanship causes her much an- noyance, so she usually resorts to a special system of printing
with characters all her own. Normal Hall is going to lose a fine song-leader and hockey-team member when Briny leaves in June. The campus will lose the sight of Briny and Peg strolling about, and they are going to be missed.
16 CLASSES
FRANCES MAY BRYANT
1 Bryant Avenue, Haverhill, Mass. Dramatic Club '26-'28, (Secretary '27- '28); Social Activities Committee '24- '28, (Chairman '27- '28); Vice-President of Class A; Dan- '25- cing '28; Hockey '24- '25; '27-'28; Basketball '24-'25; Soccer '26-'27; W. A. A. '24- '26. Frankie has charm, and though we never expect to know exactly what personality is, we think she has that, too. Graceful, a leader in dancing class or at any social gathering, and not afraid of self-ex- pression—these are some of the things to remember about Frankie. And ever so many people are going to remember her, missing her red sports-coat flashing around school.
MARGARET DOLORES BURNS
86 Ash Street, Fall River, Mass. French Club '25-'28; Glee Club '25-'27; Orchestra '25- '28. If real digging and perseverance are the necessary qualities for success, Do is well started on that road. But although she works hardest on her studies, Do is far from being one-sided; she is an excel- lent violinist and has contributed to the orchestra's efficiency this year. An revoir and good luck!
BEATRICE ELENA COOKE
Petersham, Mass. Library Club '27- '28; Library Staff
'27- '28. "Bea" is a much used nickname, but the owner of this particular "Bea" lends the name rich associations of ability, earnestness, and quiet loyalty. The real Bea is apt to remain hidden, but closer acquaintance discovers the great worth of her friendship. Beatrice is the author, too, of verses that are inspiring. We shall not soon forget this unassuming, competent Normalite, and we shall watch for her literary output in the future.
17 *••• 1928 NORMAL OFFERING
BEATRICE COPELAND
289 Western Avenue, Lynn, Mass. W. A. A. '27- '28; Hockey '27- '28; Basketball '27-'28; Library Club '27- '28. Beatrice came to Normal School after four years of Rad-
cliffe. Perhaps her past experience accounts for her exhaust- ive use of all the library facilities to study. Her presence in any class always insures the most interesting details, for "Bea" is generous with the results of research among many dusty volumes. We know that she will follow her profession in a serious, scholarly manner touched with the wit that lurks behind her academic demeanor.
BLANCHE CARRINGTON CUTLER
309 Beale Street, Quincy, Mass. W. A. A. '24- '28; Hock- ey '24-'25; Soccer '27-'28; Baseball '25; Basketball '24- '28; Garden Club '24-'25; Glee Club '27- '28, (Secretary-Treasurer '28), Captain and President of Girl Scouts '24- '28; Choir Leader '27-'28. Ted is known as a very competent and successful leader. The Scouts have made progress under her guidance, and Scout Dances owe much of their prominence in the social calendar to Ted's management and to her genius for making the gym so attractive. Wonderfully clever with her fingers, Ted has dyed, painted, and decorated, astounding us all with her ability in any line of art. Her playing con- tributed much to the enjoyment of the basketball season, and didn't she score Class A's one goal in hockey?
WHILMA CLAIRE DESY
452 Osborne Street, Fall River, Mass. Secretary of '26- French Club '25-'26 ; President of French Club '27. Whil- ma is quietly efficient in all her studies, especially those in-
volving artistic ability, but in French she is a nine-days' wonder, the despair and inspiration of her classmates. Your industry and ability combined should carry you far, Whilma. Nos meilleurs souhaitsl
i 18 h CLASSES
MARGARET ESTELLE DUNHAM
124 Main Street, Nantucket, Mass. French Club '24-'27 (Librarian '25-'26; Secretary '26-'27); Dormitory Council '25-'28; President of Normal Hall '27-'28; NORMAL OFFER- ING Staff '24- '27; Editor-in-chief, NORMAL OFFERING '27- '28; House Board '26- '28. If we divide all clever people into two classes, —those who seem clever and those who hide their equally able qualities—Peg's name leads all the rest in the latter class. Quiet, thoughtful, serene, what she says and does carries double force. Peg's great accomplishment
is her ability to write verse. At a minute's notice she could dash off a few lines to restore our sense of humor. Loyalty to her Island forced her to spend many hours correcting our wrong impressions.
MILDRED WILHELMINA FLYNN
41 Twelfth Street, Fall River, Mass. Day Student Coun- cil—(President '27- '28; Secretary-Treasurer '26- '27); Student Council '27- '28; Social Activities '26- '27; VV. A. A. '26-'28; Hockey '24- '28; Baseball '24- '28; Soccer '26- '28; Class Editor, NORMAL OFFERING '27- '28; Library Staff '27-'28. If we could, we'd say "Flynn, Rah! Rah!" in Greek. Fly.nnie would have made the Greeks and Alexander, too, sit up and take notice. Just see all the things she has done for Normal!
Besides, she is a clever actor and has an unlimited good tem- per. Did you ever see her coming from the station with the Fall River Library? Flynnie knows the way almost every- thing should go.
ALICE MAY FOGG
30 Ringgold Street, Haverhill, Mass. W. A. A. '24-'25; '27-'28; French Club '24- '26 (Treasurer '25- '26); Glee Club '26-'28; Math. Club (Vice-President) '27- '28; Hockey Man- '26- ager '24- '25; Hockey '27- '28; Baseball '24-'26; Soccer '27; Class Editor NORMAL OFFERING '26- '27; House Board
'26-'27. Foggie is conscientious, but she is by no means one of those irritatingly fussy people who make life miserable. On the contrary, when some puzzling question arose in class, and a heavy silence fell, Alice spoke quietly and we received light through A. Fogg. She's a dear.
i 19 * 1928 NORMAL OFFERING
VERONICA LILLIAN FREEMAN
288 Bedford Street, Bridgewater, Mass. In spite of Veronica's many outside interests, she has honored Normal with her presence for four years. Good nature shines in her black eyes continually; we have yet to find her disposition troubled. When you see a bobbed, black-haired person in a shiny Ford coupe—you will know it is Veronica. Where- ever she goes, we are sure the merry driver of that Ford will be welcomed for her sunny disposition.
ELEANOR WILSON GOMLEY
14 Orange Street, Abington, Mass. Social Activities Chairman '27; Choir '26- '28 (Leader '27- '28); Glee Club '26- '28; Soccer '26- '28; Baseball '27; Vice-President, Glee Club '27-'28; Dormitory Council '27- '28; Class Secretary '27- '27- '28; President of Woodward '28. Billie is a born leader, always ready to help socially, athletically, or in- tellectually. Versatility must mean something like being a choir leader, soccer captain, and house president. There is a quality about Billie that reminds one of a frank, friendly boy who can make a whole crowd laugh by the mere elevation of an eye brow. It's a charming quality to possess, especially in one of those deep, dark moments of general class-gloom.
KATHALEEN ROSE KELLEHER
156 Auburn Street, Brockton, Mass. Day Student Council '25- '28; Garden Club '24-'25; Baseball '26-'27; Hock- ey '24- '25; Math Club '27- '28. When one sees a flicker of sparkling little ripples on the surface of water, one scarcely dreams of hidden depths below. Kay sparkles like that. If the rest of us get to heaven we are going to wish for curly hair and laughing eyes. Kay is already two wishes ahead of us but we like her too much to mind. Perhaps she'll be wish- ing for a megaphone so that she can teach the cherubim design or math without hearing someone say, "Louder, please!"
i 20 >•• CLASSES
JESSICA ALICE LEONARD
4011 North Main Street, Fall River, Mass. Baseball '26- '24-'28; Soccer '26- '28; Bowling '27- '28; House Board '27; Hospitality Committee, '27-'28; Dormitory Council '27-'28; Library Club '26-'28 (Treasurer '27- '28); Vice-President of Woodward, '27-'28. Jessica is always self-possessed, and immaculate in appearance, besides being very efficient. On committee-work, whether for social, House party, or hospi- tality, Jessica is constantly in demand. Her common sense and good judgment set things smoothly on the right track. Even more remarkable is the fact that her extra activities do not interfere with her studies.
HELEN SELLAR LEYLAND
53 Clifford Road, Melrose, Mass. French Club '24- '28; Treasurer of French Club '27-'28. Dear me! How hard college French is! Who disagrees? Helen Leyland? Well,
I suppose we can't all be French by second nature, but we did rather envy the girl who could so calmly "speak up" in class. French is not her only sphere. She is a willing work- er on any class-project, and a jolly companion after hours.
MILDRED JULIA MAXIM
975 Middleboro Avenue, Taunton, Mass. Mildred is fortunate, because she can always be sure of a Maxim to help her in teaching or in any other career. We shall re- member Mildred for her cheerfulness in helping whenever asked, whether for a book in the library or for some class- problem. Her blonde hair was like sunlight, and so was her ready smile.
•£i 21 } 1928 NORMAL OFFERING
ELIZABETH ROSE McHALE
130 Center Street, Bridgewater, Mass. Glee Club '24- '28; French Club '26- '28; Bowling '24- '25. "Say, Lib, what's the French assignment for to-morrow?" She always knows,
and she is always willing to help a less attentive classmate.
Lib is from Bridgewater, and hides the fact under a usually meek exterior. Often quiet, sometimes gay, always self- possessed, —that's Lib. And we mustn't forget her sweet singing which has benefited the Glee Club for four years. Some of us remember how she sang the "Berceuse de Jocelyn" and "Mon Hameau" in French Club.
MARION MORSE
10 Desmond Avenue, Manchester, Mass. W. A. A. '25'28; Soccer '27- '28; Baseball '25; Basketball '25-'2S, '27- '28; Hockey '25,'27,'28; Library Club '27-'28 (Vice- President); Math Club '27- '28; NORMAL OFFERING Art Staff '27- '28. Marion is a member of that loyal-to- Haverhill group which may be seen almost any day, moving en masse. The corner rooms in Woodward this year have been the scenes of many heated arguments concerning the relative merits of home towns. But Marion does not spend all her time in argument. In math she is very proficient, as well as in science. Always doing her share, and doing it well—that's Marion.
LYLA GERTRUDE NIMS
92 Thoreau Street, Concord, Mass. Garden Club '24- '28; Glee Club '25- "28; Choir '27- '28; Library Staff '26- '28. Lyla's
chief interest in her Normal curriculum has been in her li- brary training. She has become very efficient in tracing lost books and in straightening out hopelessly muddled cards.
An inveterate hiker, Lyla is ready to start out at any time for
any destination, be it East Bridgewater or Plymouth. Music
is one of her chief enjoyments and Glee Club and Choir have profited by her membership.
i 22 } ;
CLASSES
VIVIENNE AGNES PICKETT
421 High Street, Bridge-water, Mass. W. A. A. '26-'27. Yivienne is one of the quietest members of the class, as well as one of the most conscientious. Her demure steadiness goes far toward balancing the giddiness of her classmates. May your womanliness carry you as far, Vivienne, in the fu- ture, as it has in the esteem of your class.
MABLE FRANCES PRATT
23 Standish Avenue, Wollaston, Mass. Glee Club '24-'25 Dramatic Club '25-'28; W. A. A. '24- '28; President of Cot- tage-^; Vice-President of Normal Hall '27-'28; Dormitory Council '24, '27- '28; House Board '26- '27; NORMAL OFFER- ING, '24- '25; '26-'27; Secretary Y. P. U. '25-'26; Hospitality '27-'28. Mable has a temperament and she walks in her sleep. (For information see Peg and Briny). Mable up- held the honor of Class A by miraculously putting over the Christmas Card Project. She always enjoyed great argu- mentative discourses, especially in sociology. Her motto? 'Always be late, then you don't have to wait for things to begin!"
ALFREDA OSBORNE RITCHIE
50 Towerhill street, Lawrence, Mass. W. A. A. '24-'28 (Vice-President '27- '28);' Head of Hikes '26-'27; Girl Scouts '24-'26; Library Club '26- '28; (President, '27-'28); Class Treasurer '27-'28; Math. Club '27- '28 (Secretary '28); Hockey '24-'28; Baseball '24-'28; Basketball '24-'27-'28; Soccer '26-'27. Ever since we first knew her, Freddie has been a regular joy- forever small person, always optimistic and everlastingly useful. Energy? Watch her go for the basketball! But then she enters into everything she undertakes just as whole- heartedly. In her four busy years here she has made many friends, who expect much of her. To quote a business slogan, "Such popularity must be deserved."

ALICE GORMAN ROACH
35 Spring Street, East Bridgewater, Mass. Day student
Council '24; Hockey '24- '25; Baseball '24. Alice is a very sociable personage who always looks cool and collected, no matter how fierce the teacher or how difficult the approaching
exam. Since she rarely speaks of herself, it has taken us some time to value her at her real worth. We have enjoyed her
comfortable pleasantness for four years, and wish it could be for longer. Fare thee well Alys, and much happiness to you.
JOSEPHINE SHAW
Worcester Street, Bridgewater, Mass. Glee Club '24-'25; Girl Scouts '24- '25; W. A. A. '24-'28; Dramatic Club '25- '28, (President '26-'27); Class Representative '26- '28; Vice-Presi- dent Class B '26- '27; Hockey '24- '27; Basketball '25,'27,'28; Baseball '25-'28. Jo is the best all-around member of Class A. She is not only in many activities, but she excels in each of them. 'Ask Jo," is the first thought in the minds of her classmates when a difficulty must be faced. Jo's versatility is, after four years, an ever-revealing miracle, though perhaps we shall remember her best for her dramatic genius. Jo is a loyal friend and she is graduated from Normal School with the best wishes of everyone.
ELINORE FRANKLYN SPENCER
91 River Road, West Bridgewater, Mass. Glee Club '24- '27; Dancing Class '24-'25; '26- '27. A bit of the lover of colors, the possessor of charm, then an artist and a student, with the whimsicality of one and the perseverance of the other were all stirred in—and the result was Spence. Per- haps a bit of the elf was added, else how could she dance
so gracefully? Spence is the designer of our new school ring,
and in the harmony of its lines is evidenced her artistic gift plus patience to work for perfection. Many Normalites will remember her for this and for her ever-ready hospitality. M-m-m! What good dog-roasts we had by the fireplace in her old Colonial home. Remember?
i 24 ri CLASSES
HELENA LAWTON STANLEY
17 Reynolds Street, New Bedford, Mass. W. A. A. '24- '25; Bowling '25-'26; Open House Committee, '26; Class C Social Committee. Helena decided last fall that an extra year of training was more to be desired than entrance into the profession, so she came back to join Class A. We admire Helena for her calm poise and self-possession. Some of us went beyond her cool little air of reserve and discovered a girl who likes books, who talks in a slow, slurred voice, and has dreams in her eyes.
^& MARY KATHERINE TOOMEY
f 4pMP^W 43 Fremont Street, Bridgewater, Mass. French Club '26-'28; Mary is one of the reasons why Class A is noted for its ability. She is a good sport and a worthy friend as well as a student. Whenever her maps and charts are displayed they arouse envy and marvel less-gifted people. If r V lllpSi^^^^^B among cleverness and patience are factors of success, Mary will be m fortunate in whatever she undertakes.
EDITH ALICE TURNER
600 North Street, Bridgewater, Mass. Math. Club '27-'28. In one field of science Edith has outstripped all puny competitors. Ask Mr. Durgin. This "math-shark" has depended on her proficiency in that difficult and myster- ious subject to win her fame. Now that there is no more to learn in Normal School, Edith's ambition leads her forth to challenge the greatest names of the mathematical pro- fession. 1928 NORMAL OFFERING

1 Bryant Avenue, Bradford, Mass. Class Representa- tive '24-'26; Woodward Vice-President '26-'27; Dramatic Club '25-'28, (Secretary '25-'26; Vice-President '26-'27; President '27- '28.) W. A. A. '24- '28; All-Senior Hockey Team '27. Natalie is a "cherub" herself, although she in- sists on bestowing the appellation on everyone else. We admire Natalie's dramatic ability, and the Dramatic Club
is certainly losing a worthy member. According to Mr. Hunt, Natalie's boyish bob should remain with her forever. We think so, too. Natalie was always able to hold her own in the maze of parallels and meridians which we encountered in geography class.
CORA MAY VINING
Circuit Street, West Hanover, Mass. How much time a well-organized brain saves ! Cora never looks tired or patched up, but she is one of the leaders in psychology as well as in literature and a dozen other subjects. Although she is not French, she has their national characteristic of punctilio and exactness. She is efficient behind a desk, and in any social hour—Oh, dear! Just see what an organized brain will accomplish!
THOMAS CHESTER BARHAM, JR.
833 Brockton Avenue, Abington, Mass., Class President '27- '28. (The first musketeer). The wind on our sails, our rudder and our anchor—restrainer, prodder, balance—in fact, our Rock of Gibraltar, the only one of us lifted from the sloughs of school-teaching next year. Colum- bia will get a good man.

CHARLES ALAN CAMERON
78 Pearl Street, Bridgewater, Mass. A little man with big ideas—Charlie is the leading authority on sociology and literature at Normal School. In sociology class we received his latest ideas on social organization and individual freedom.
Charlie often carries a smile and is always ready with a witty retort when occasion offers. He has a great love for music, art, and architecture, and declares that Woodward is the best building at school in more ways than one.
PERCY CLIFTON CHURCHILL
Brandon, Vermont. Glee Club '26; N. A. A.

Mr. Churchill comes from the environment of Mr. Coolidge, consequently he has all the Coolidge virtues (and lacks his vices) —is well- experienced, reserved, tactful, ready and thorough. He is the one to whom we go when we want anything done. Need any more be said?
FRANK KANE DILLON
135 South Main Street, Randolph, Mass. N. A. A. *24-'28; Baseball '24- '28; Football '24; Glee Club '24- '25; Men's Dramatic Club '28; Men's Club '27-'28; Charter Mem- ber "T. S." They call him "Dill". He seems to discover much that is amusing in life and is always perfectly willing to share it with us. His only vice appears at the time for examinations, when he hands in fifteen closely-written sheets at the end of the hour.

He possesses a useful flivver; he comes from Cambridge, and we think he tries to keep alive the Cambridge traditions. For Jerry we wish the best of things—argumentative or otherwise—always.
ALBERT JOHN MURPHY
23 Short Street, Randolph, Mass. Irish wit and a bit of blarney balanced by sympathy and wide understanding isn't that Al? When he talked we listened, not to be polite, but because we enjoyed it. There are a few people who are really "foursquare to the winds." Our class has been fortu- nate in knowing one of the few.

We think Al had basketballitis of the most virulent type. At any rate, it made him a good captain. In class, he delivered sensible opinions in a calm voice and that was that. Occas- ionally we heard rumors of "Reilley's Blues". They must have been musical ones; he could have no others.
ROBERT FRANCIS SHEA
309 North Avenue, North Abington, Mass. N. A. A. '25-'28 (President '27- '28); Football '24; Soccer '25; Glee Club '24-'25; Sphinx Club (Secretary); Men's Club Council '27- '28; Math Club '27- '28. Someone once called Bob "our Beau Brummell and John Barrymore, unfortunately con- demned to the prosaic profession of teaching school—at which, however, he does well." Bob is an authority on subjects as diverse as the negro question and the bus problem, but we liked him best for not insisting on telling all he knew.
OUTSIDE TRAINING
Training is one of the bitter sweets of Normal School. When it is happening, it is drudg- ery; when it is past, it is delight. As I look back I forget the countless papers I had to cor- rect, the natural but exasperating restlessness of the children, the nerve-racking worry. What lingers in my memory now is the fun and originality of the little themes, the childish devotion to "teacher", and the restful peace at the end of a day's work successfully done.

History
We began our career in a labyrinth. That is why we can always find our way out of difficulties. (The labyrinth was Woodward basement.) In that cave of knowledge we learned "That bothers me," 'And what not," "Much mystery" and "Demonstrate!" We learned quite a few things besides, incidentally. In June, after finals and notebooks, came fond farewells to friends, last looks at the "cellar" and at favorite spots on the campus and gardens. School was over for the summer. Day by day, we had been watching the building of our new Normal School with pride and anticipation, but you'll find a tender spot in our memories for the humble environment in which our class had its start. Quite different, the second year: warm greetings instead of loneliness; a new building instead of our old one. This last somehow seemed like a new chance. No traditions here. No memories. No "floors trod by feet that have long since ceased to tread." It was for us to create traditions—traditions worthy of being upheld. We felt the responsibility as a school and as a class. This year we had our May Party as a social event. The floors had been well waxed for the occasion, and everything slid along merrily. We had proved our prowess as social lights. This was also the memorable year when we all gleaned much experience in the subtle art of teaching and disciplining.
Alas! What sadness on the fatal, opening day of this our third and last year, when we found our divisions reorganized, our groups ruthlessly broken up. This day marked the transition to the strong class spirit for which our class shall be noted down through the annals of Bridgewater. On the night of November 11, 1927, seething masses of desperate human beings sur- rounded the gym. They were the unfortunate creatures who had not come early enough for the famous "Lindy" Social, given by our class. Trilby herself would have been green- eyed, had she seen the finished performance put on by some of our girls in their red, white

and blue costumes. Uncle Sam and Miss Liberty were there. We all stood around singing' the old songs, popular during the war. Then we danced and later came home with gay little hats to paste in our "mem" books, as if we could ever forget. The most supreme triumphs evolve from the greatest struggles. Small wonder our Lindy Social was such a howling success! Three years have gone by. There have been hectic times before exams and notebooks, but when they are over, they only serve to make us appreciate our leisure time all the more. We acknowledge the debt we owe our instructors, who have made life more full for us. Out of these years we have a greater purpose, vistas of thought opened to us, lifelong friendships, happy memories. They are years which we treasure, now and always. Now that the time is so near for us each to go our separate ways, it all steals over us more poignantly than be- fore. We may well say at the end of it:
We liked it all! H. Ruth Ronnquist

ELSIE MAE BUNKER
144 Middle St., Braintree, Mass.; French Club '25-'28; Vice-president of French Club '27-'28; Basketball '25-'26; Soccer '27. Elsie has three great loves: Smut, her 15 year old kitty, French (fried potatoes), and basket-ball. In the big B juggle, Elsie landed in Bl, where she has made the bright side of life brighter with her "philimahoogooshes", her constant "Jonah" luck, her "economy", her streaks of plugging which, like the lands of the Jumblies, were far and few, her contagious good humor, and her versatility. Will Bl ever forget how she monopolized the History of Educa- tion classes for her weekly splashes of reciting? With your spirit, Elsie, you will never have to complain about not being popular and in demand as a "school marm."
ALICE MAE CARDOZA
63 North St., Fairhaven, Mass.; Hockey '25; W. A. A. '25-'28; Glee Club '27-'28; Soccer '27; Capt. Normal Hall Hockey '27. Who was the demure little dark-eyed, dark- haired lady so industriously sketching designs before chapel one morning last September? Of course, it's no secret, be- cause Alice had already built up quite a reputation as an artist under the colors of Senior 1 last year. Besides being artistic she seems to be able to do everything with a marked degree of ease and skill.
DORIS DREHER
4 Ball St., Fairhaven, Mass.; Scouts '27-'28; Hockey '25-'26-'27; Soccer '27. "A good scout and a good sport" are the words which characterize Doris in more ways than
one, for is she not a member of the B. N. S. Girl Scouts, and has she not played on the Hockey All Senior, Class, and
Soccer Class teams? She is a worker, too, when it comes to dormitory affairs. Her only weakness is a homeward tendency when each week-end arrives.

Helene never fails to hold up the professional dignity of the class—sartorially speaking, for she is always as neat as though she had but recently re- HI * moved the lid from the proverbial bandbox. But there's much more to Helene than that. We know French is her favorite indoor sport, and we're sure she will make a fine French teacher. Helene is a girl upon whom you can always rely whenever there are plans which require patient foresight
and great effort. Just recall the "Fete des Fleurs" and you i . will see her handiwork. "By their fruits shall ye know them." * is m A Helene well worth knowing and we wish her all success. i -it! m

20 Summit Ave., Norwood, Mass.; W. A. A. '25-'28; Li- brary Club '25-'27, President Library Club '26- '27, Baseball '26-'28, Treasurer Class B, '28. When we were all D's, Doro- thy made her first impression on most of the division in Mr. Jackson's math class down in Woodward basement. Those impressions have continued and everyone—faculty and students—has learned that Dorothy Flansbury is a girl' upon whom you may always rely. Another outstanding character-
istic of Dot is her custom of returning to Norwood every week
end and staying, if possible, until Monday morning. This may be a grave indication that the teaching profession will soon lose her.
ALICE GAFFNEY

That's Alice. Well, who's Alice? She's one of the best sports we know. She can keep us in- formed on any subject and she is a friend to everyone. Every- one who knows her loves her, and everybody knows her. She ranks "A" in classes, loyalty, good looks—in short she ranks "A" in everything we can think of. The more we know her, the better we like her. Of course she's a peach. 1928 NORMAL OFFERING

"Blushing is virtue's color."
What are you blushing for, Esther? Well, no reason at all only that Esther is much afraid that she has done the wrong thing. As if she ever could ! When we first knew her, Esther would not stay here over a week-end, but Normal School has changed her and now quite frequently she spends her week-ends here. The school will lose a good worker in Esther but we are sure some children will appreciate their luck in getting such an attractive teacher.

Eunice was first a mem- ber of Class D2 and C2 and then she changed to that famous class, Bl. Whatever class she was in, she always added an indefinable something which made her many true friends. She has a genius for writing poetry which she subdued, much to the dissatisfaction of her friends, for they liked her poems; and whenever a song for the alumni, the class, or division was needed her ability was in great demand.

" To see her smile Is to know her."
There is one thing we never can forget about Ruth, and that is her smile. It warmed the hearts of her classmates and cheered away the blues, many of those first days. It may even be rumored that her sunny smile won the hearts of faculty as well as students, for who could resist it? She is to be found on the forward line in hockey and soccer, cheering the team on by her enthusiasm. If you wish to know about one of her talents, just gaze at the decorations on the pages of her note books!
EDNA SMITH
76 Turner St., Brockton, Mass. Edna didn't join the ranks
of Bl until her third year, but it didn't take us long to notice
what a fine teacher she is going to be. Even the instructors speak of her motherly way with children. One has only to listen to Edna telling a story to know that children will love her.

A good friend and pal, Margaret is always willing to help anyone. We call on her when we want literary information, for she is a well-read person.

One morning we were playing a game in the second grade. A little boy with light hair and blue eyes was standing in front of the room. He was to tell us four sentences about an animal, and we were to guess what animal he had described. Eddie:—"I have white hair.
I have two big long legs. I have two big black shoes.
I have a brown coat. — What am I?" Alice: —"Are you an elephant?" Eddie: "Yes, I am an elephant." Teacher:—An elephant has four legs, Eddie." Eddie (grinning):—"No, I'm not an elephant." Teacher (after many unsuccessful guesses):—"What are you, Eddie?" Eddie:—"Myself!" Marian Gilmore

She is capable in so many ways, not merely in athletics, though she certainly made the basketball games go off with a bang! We like to tease Esther by telling her not to look too serious.
EMMALINE MARIE McGERRIGLE

Although Ruth is one of the smallest members of our class, her actual size can never compete with her ability. She can be the life of the party. Always gracious, she is a funmaker as well, delighting the eye as well as the spirit.

And she is still Jane, but she no longer has long hair, nor is she always so quiet. She surely did surprise us. However, we are never surprised, when we drift upon a sea of difficulties, to see Jane arrive with the correct answer. Her strongest point is math, but when does she do it, and how? She can do more math between South Braintree and Avon than the rest of us can do in a night.

Harvard Street, Hyannis, Mass. Girl Scouts '25-'26; VV. A. A. '26-'27; Hockey '25; Library Club '27-'28; Social Activities Committee '27-'28; House Board '27-'28. '" Tis grand to speak your mind outright; Just be sure the door's in sight'." Have you ever heard Bertha sing? Neither have we!
Her favorite subject is history and in this she certainly shines. Bertha is never in a hurry; she takes her time but always seems to arrive in the front rank. She has a funny sense of humor that is most entertaining to those who know her best.
AGNES ELIZABETH NAWAZELSKIE
King Street, West Hanover, Mass. W. A. A. '25-'27; Garden Club '25- '28 (Treasurer- '27- '28); Glee Club '27- '28. Where could one find a more demure person than Agnes?
We think her motto is, "One should be seen and not heard," but perhaps she had been fooling us. Agnes is conscientious where duties are concerned, but she enjoys a good laugh, too.

In the locker-room, in the kitchen, corridor, class-room, and even in chapel —if you hear "Where's Thelma?" very musically spoken, you'll know it's Olive. Who has a spontaneous laugh? Who has a keen appreciation of the best in penmanship? Who unfailingly sees the sunny side? Whom should we miss more than most people? Olive.

" Volens et potens— Willing and able."
Hail to Thelma, our class rep! She is one of the jolliest girls of our class. Thelma is very seldom seen without Olive; and when they are together it's good-by to seriousness. Thelma has been Vice-President of the Day Student Council for two years, and we wonder what the day students will do without her next year. We also wonder how long Thelma will teach. Something or somebody else seems to have more attraction for her.

She is, and we are under the impression that all other New Zealanders must rank equally high in athletics. Nan won the seldom-earned honor of being on the varsity basketball team her freshman year. She often upheld the reputation of the class by having her work done on time, too.
KATHERINE ELIZABETH REYNOLDS

History
Last year we were the Junior Class of the School; to-day, there is a new class which has filed into our ranks, and we have stepped forward into the vacancies left by the graduated class of 1927. So the hand of time circles, stopping for no one. We entered school on one bright September morning in 1926 and were divided into classes
designated as Junior I, II, and III, respectively. After our shyness wore away, we began to look with interest upon our new friends, and to acquaint ourselves with our strange sur- roundings.
We considered that we were fortunate to be among the entering classes who first attended chapel in the new Horace Mann Auditorium. As Juniors we did not experience the in- convenience of using Woodward basement as a classroom.
Our class has tried to keep pace with the preceding Senior record, both in scholarship and athletics. Some of our members have proved efficient in hockey, soccer, basketball, bowling, and baseball. A girl from Junior I was Head of Bowling; Junior III won the Spring Field Meet in a contest between all the classes; while Junior II won the Baseball Championship of 1927.
The Senior-C Social and the Senior I Social show that we have not neglected the social side of the school-world.
This year one division of the class has been out training each term, but during the spring term we expect to be united again. The Seniors of 1928 extend sincere wishes for the prosperity and happiness of those con- nected with the school. M. Louise Peterson

Senior I
ETTA HIX ALLEN
Point Road, Marion, Mass. Secretary-Treasurer Gates House- '27-'28.
"My heart is true as steel"—Shakespeare.
As Etta's name was first in the class roll, she has often been our example when any new work was being introduced. She certainly was a fine inspiration for her class-mates. We
were all thankful that she was in Senior I and that our names did not begin with "A". Her resourcefulness insures her success as a teacher.
VENITA BAKER
North Main Street, Sharon, Mass. Basketball '28.
"And in her wake the smiles began."
Welcome to our class was this newcomer, for she is an all- around girl. Her versatility makes her an asset to any class either as a member or as a teacher. North Adams Normal School was unfortunate in losing her, but consider Bridge- water's gain!
MARY ALICE BARNARD
22 Haselline Street, Bradford, Mass. W. A. A. '27, '28; Hockey '26; Basketball '27- '28; Library Club '27; Class Representative '28.
"What fun it is I What fun it is\"
Go to room 82, home of Barnard-Delano Company if you need cheering up. Al can make you feel happy, although you do have three exams the next day. By the way, no number of exams annoys her. She was an excellent class representative and one of our most popular girls. Don't break too many hearts when you go back to Haverhill, Bar- ney.

FLORENCE BENT
8 Jefferson Avenue, Taunton, Mass.
"Women of few words are the best."
Florence is one of our very conscientious students. She is never known to stand up and murmur, "Not prepared." If the success of her profession depends upon excellent pre- paration, we prophecy a bright future for her.
SARAH ALICE BIRKETT
55 Eastern Avenue, Fall River, Mass. Bowling '27; Hockey '26.
"I am not a politician, and my other habits are goo.d." We think Al believes in woman suffrage for she at least stands up for her own rights. She is a worthwhile scholar, and we are proud of her artistic abilities.
MOLLIE G. BORVICK
271 Crescent Street, Brockton, Mass. W. A. A. '28.
" Your heart's desires be with you."
Who leads the discussions in sociology class? Who ven- tures an opinion when no one else dares? Our new class-
mate, Mollie, of course. Although it is her first year at Bridge- water, Mollie takes an active part in all classes and sports. Westfield lost a fine scholar, sportswoman, and future teacher when she joined our ranks!

"A true friend is a friend forever."
Upon Addie we bestow the honor of being the best all-
around girl of Senior I. A look at her list of activities will
assure you of this. Is there a girl in Senior I who is not a friend of Addie's? We know that her popularity and ability will bring her success.
CELIA BROTKIN
38 Chavenson Street, Fall River, Mass. Pro and Con '27-'28; W. A. A. '27-'28; Hockey '26; Basketball '28.
"A loving heart is the beginning of all knowledge." "To the victor belongs the spoils" has often been quoted, but it may explain why Celia has accumulated so much know- ledge in two years. Studying did not prevent her from mak- ing many close friends who will miss her greatly.
LORRAINE ELIZABETH BROWN
20 Elmwood Avenue, South Braintree, Mass. Hockey '26; Basketball '28; W. A. A. '28.
" There's the humour of it."
How could any class exist without a little bit of humor? So we "bow to the wittiest", Lorraine. We all admire the "Duke's" pluck for returning after a prolonged absence to confront a term's work. What became of the brown gloves, Lorraine?

MARY MARGARET BUCKLEY
Elm Street, North Easton, Mass.
" The secret of success is constancy to purpose."
Here's another member of Senior I who, we know, will have a successful career. Her winning smile and light heart will bring her through many difficulties. (She was our star in penmanship and dramatization).
GERTRUDE LOUISE BUMPUS
1251 Sandwich Road, Wareham.
"All things come round to him who will but wait."
Wareham is well represented in Senior I. It gave us
one of its finest scholars when it sent Trudie. We know she will conquer the problems of teaching with much success.
MARGARET P. CAMPBELL
93 Cherry Street, Brockton, Mass.
"A little work, a little play."
Margaret is a commuter, but there is no dorm girl with
more friends. Her charming voice and manner did it. Who- ever missed a class when Margaret was teaching? Not one of us. There will never be any truants in your classes, Mar- garet.

ELIZABETH CONNOLLY
354 Washington Street, East Walpole, Mass. Hockey '26; Basketball ''27; W. A. A. '27-'28.
" Touch of manner, hint of mood, And her heart is like a rhyme."
Bessie is our good-natured, fun-loving classmate. She is always ready for amusement and still she finds time to do her lessons. We think she will be as popular with her pupils as she was at Normal School.
ALICE TERESA CORREA
16 Fourth Avenue, Taunton, Mass. Assistant Art Editor of NORMAL OFFERING '27; Art Editor of NORMAL OFFERING '28.
"Art is Nature made by man,
' By Man the interpreter of God.
Here is another of our numerous "Al's", and one the class appreciated very much. Who saved the day in drawing? Always our artistic Al. We may all love Art in a seemly way, but Alice loves it with an earnest heart. Her fine work on the Art Staff of Normal Offering proves this.

"As merry as the day is long."
Oh, Harry is the "boy" of our class. "Full of mirth and jollity", accurately describes her. She is a good scholar and takes a prominent part in class discussion. We hope Harry won't be mistaken for one of the pupils when she begins to teach.
LOIS ANN CHACE
278 Hillman Street, New Bedford, Mass. W. A. A. '27; Garden Club '27, '28.
"Blushing is the color of virtue." Here's to Lois, the other half of the "Cohen-Chace'Duet!" If blushes tell us anything, Lois tells us a lot. "Quiet charm is better than outspoken virtue", so we judge Lois will be successful as a teacher.

"I'm saddest when I sing."
Carrie is a conscientious student and has shown us that she has literary ability. Some day we may be reading, "Ad- vice to Teachers" by Chase. She possesses one quality which endears her to many: readiness to participate in sports and class activities.

B. ALICE CROSSLEY

"Music is well said to be the speech of angels."
Singing is as natural for Al as talking is for the rest of us. Her lovely voice has entertained and amused us on many occasions. Music isn't her only talent. There are several others; any report card will prove that. Al will make a fine teacher unless she adopts a musical career instead.
DOROTHY MAY CROSSMAN
33 Teele Avenue, West Somerville, Mass. Girl Scouts '27, '28; Basketball '28.
"Her air, her manner, all who saw admired."
We have no qualms about Dot's future. We can easily imagine her as a famous teacher. Be sure to tell your class some "Once Upon A Time" stories; they will enjoy them as much as we did. Don't lose that happy smile, Dot.
WINIFRED ELIZABETH DARLING
Wilbur Street, Raynham, Mass.
"A word in season spoken may calm the troubled breast." We can truly say, "Darling Winifred". She's always willing to help others. Winnie seems able to prepare her lessons and have plenty of time for fun, too. Not only does she laugh at trouble, but she giggles at everything else.

AVIS NATALIE DELANO

" For my part getting up seems not so easy." Del has the happy faculty of greeting everything with a smile. She has one of those rare dispositions that endears her to everyone. Happy-go-lucky Del leaves everything for the last minute but comes out on top nevertheless. She and Barney certainly made a good pair and added much to our happiness. I'm sure they have had the time of their lives in dear old "Wood".

" Tis not in mortals to command success,
But -we'll do more—we'll deserve it." You can't say too many nice things about Addie to please us. We'll vouch for her high scholarship average, and a glance at her activities will show you that she leads us in sports as well. Too bad Addie isn't eating candy until Feb- ruary. Cactus candy and fancy chocolates are really very good!
LOUISE GARDNER DOWNEY
Pleasant Street, Hingham Center, Mass. Captain of Hockey '26; Glee Club '27, '28.
" What is yours is mine; what is mine is yours."
Whatever should we do without Louise? She is the best- natured girl in the class. No wonder we love her so. And, when it comes to sports, she's there! She may not start everything but Louise is sure to have a hand in most things undertaken. Hingham must be a good place even though it has but one policeman.

Another of our shining lights! Bob arrives in class with many books and much knowledge, and proceeds to impart
the latter. She does it "par excellence". She can speak as well with flags as she does with her tongue. Watch her at some Scout Meeting. She may appear serious, but don't be deceived for her love of fun resulted in many humorous in- cidents or accidents in "Wood".
GRACE EVELYN DUNHAM
214 Adams Street, North Abington, Mass. "Little I ask, my wants are few."
Evelyn is our quiet member. She never comes to class unprepared and never an exam ruffles her. She rarely ex- presses her opinions but when she does—they are worth hear- ing. With her cheerful smile and everhelping hand, we are sure Ev will be successful.
HELEN ELIZABETH EDWARDS
950 Washington Street, East Weymouth, Mass. Base- ball '27.
"So tiny, so wistful is ske\" 'Member when you walked into the room in which you were going to train, how the teacher assigned you a seat with the rest of the pupils on the first day of school? Never mind, Helen, "prizes come in small packages" as that room teacher soon found out.

28 Pine Street, Norwood, Mass. Hockey '26,
"Oh, sleep it is a gentle thing Beloved from pole to pole." Barbara got up for breakfast one morning and just made the dining hall before the doors closed. That was a sur-

us wondering. She is the kind of girl one readily chooses for
a friend. Yes, her smile does it.
BERTHA FINCH
204 Central Avenue, New Bedford, Mass. Pro and Con '27, '28; W. A. A. '27, '28; Bowling '27, '28.
Bertha, with her sunny smile, is pronounced the best eyer, and many good wishes follow her. Something tells us Bertha is going to be an entomologist of the first order—a rival of Comstock's. How about it, Bert?
MYRTLE LOVELY
251 Tremont Street, Mansfield, Mass.
Myrtle knew a good school, for after spending one year at North Adams she decided that she would like to receive

"Welcome ever smiles And farewell goes out sighing."
Another welcome addition to B. N. S. from Keene Nor- mal. Are we glad to have her? Unanimously, yes! She
stepped into the class and started off with a snap. She is a. "snappy" forward, too. Watch her in the basketball games. Good looks and brains are not frequently found together, it has been said. One glance at Arlene will convince you of the presence of the first. Step into literature methods class- and hear her discuss methods and you must admit the second, also. We wish Keene would send us more like you, Arlene.
Senior II
HAZEL MAE AMET
49 Crescent St., West Quincy, Mass.
" The good you do is not lost though you forget it."
Hazel is a splendid student and we are sure she will be a most successful teacher. The world seems to rest a little heavily on her shoulders sometimes, but we know it is only because she is conscientious. She's a sweet singer and a fine friend, but she mustn't forget to laugh with the world.
PAULINE FRANCES BOOMER
349 Court St., New Bedford, Mass. W. A. A. '27-'28p Class President.
' " The man that loves and laughs must sure do well.
The very essence of efficiency is Pauline, and this, to- gether with her sunny disposition and friendliness, has made-
her a popular member of our class. Her keen wit is enjoyed by all. She leads her class in marks, yet no one can accuse her of being a "grind." She merely gets things done in short order, and has time left for recreation. The splendid record she made in Training School foretells the success in store for her in the teaching profession.

MARY ELIZABETH RITA FOLEY
860 Brock Avenue, New Bedford, Mass. W. A. A. 1926- '28; Social Activities Committee, 1927- '28.
" You know her slightly. We, who know her well. Saw something in her soul you could not see."
Unassuming, conscientious, and a steady plodder-on is Mary, with a warm heart for her studies and a warmer heart for home. We found it hard to persuade her to stay for week-ends at the Dorm while the roads to New Bedford were open. Never mind, Mary. "East, West, home's best." Mary's naturally rosy cheeks were envied by everyone, and her ready smile and friendliness made her dear to all her classmates.
ESTHER HAZEL FORSBERG
3 Elm Ave., Rehoboth, Mass. W. A. A. 1926-'28; W. A. A. Board 1927-'28; Head of Hikes, '27- '28; Hockey, 1926-'27; Baseball, Bowling '26-'27; Social Activities, Secretary-Treas- urer, '27- '28.
"A light heart lives long." Happy-go-lucky, popular, prominent, and a "nice kid"
to have for a friend is Esther. And when this attractive blonde was seen around school there was usually another blond in close attendance. The latter will miss the former when she goes, but so will her loyal classmates.

"Equalled by few, excelled by none."
Marion is the athlete of our class as well as one of our most conscientious students. Hockey, basketball, broad jump, dash,—she excels in all. To see her in action is to see some fine work. As a hiker she can't be equalled and we expect her to make and break the record for the "Providence to Boston" hike. Her marks show a sound mind in a sound body.
MARY FRANCES GORMAN
120 Cushing Ave., Dorchester, Mass. Student Council '26; Pro and Con, '26-'27. "She moves a goddess and she looks a queen."
If she cut her hair she wouldn't be the same Mary, be- cause then she could not play so characteristically and charm- ingly with her hairpins. Indeed, it is a fascination to watch her long, deft fingers meander through her gold chestnut hair, gracefully eject a bone hairpin, and gracefully place it back- in the same place. Truly an art—and one over which we must sigh and say, "Well, it's just Mary."
MARY FRANCES GRIFFIN
80 Marion Road, Wareham, Mass. Hockey 1926-'27; Basketball '26. "Many a man and many a maid, Dancing in the checkered shade."
Frances, you will always make people see fun in life. I
shouldn't mind coming to school to you myself. But I fear the ranks of teachers will be minus one jolly member before many years. You are too lively a girl to remain long "in maiden meditation,—fancy free " Even the opposite of such a career—when well carried out—deserves unlimited applause; and you are just the one to merit it.

"And her modest answer and graceful air,
' Show her wise as she is fair.
Your tranquility is really a house for your true person- ality. You are neither shy nor quiet after one gets through your outer reserve. Someone will get a severe shock some day when you discard your shelter publicly. Until that time we will think of you as a sweet, retiring maiden—like the Pris- cilla of John Alden's time. And remember, Annis, that she had her own way even though she was quiet and shy.
LENA HERSTOFF
12 Atlantic St., New Bedford, Mass. W. A. A. 1926-'28; Junior Bowling Team, 1926-'27.
" The essence of humor is sensibility, warm, tender, fellow- feeling with all forms of existence."
Lena is a girl who requires an over-abundance of glorify- ing superlatives. We aren't going to try to give them be- cause they always look pitifully untrue in print, but we are
going to tell you a secret about her. She is versatile, clever and capable but—you ought to hear her giggle. She pre- faces —perfect recitations with, "I don't know a thing about it but ".
DORIS HIGGINBOTTOM
R. F. D. 2, Franklin, Mass. W. A. A. 1926- '28.
"Full many a gem of purest ray serene, The dark unfathomed caves of ocean bear."
You will do good in the world, Doris, even if you are teaching in a small place—we know that you will help to make it a better place.

" Little deeds of kindness, little words of love, Help to make each happy like the heaven above." In the gray of no man's land two shades were whispering.
The tall one holding a register was saying, "I'm sure it's Jacks." The other was moaning in a hollow voice, "I'm sure it's Jacquees." And so they quarreled through eternity while Jakie grinned from heaven and said to herself, "There's " something I know that they don't

We can't resist at least one prediction. No Offering is complete without one. If Helen finds time after teaching, she is going to hunt insects. We know this fact with the immovable conviction of a fifty cent fortune-teller. Haven't we watched her on our nature study walks?
LUCILE ELIZABETH LYNCH
43 Spring Ave., Brockton, Mass.
"She'll write a history book or she'll turn divine."
A history demon fair! You'll never need a history en- cyclopedia if Lucile is near. We have a suspicion that she could write a history-civics book without reference notes. As to stature, to make a thing short, our slim Lucille is the
long of it and not the short.

" Nothing endures but personal qualities." Katherine carrying books to Model School; Katherine passing in themes which flow as easily as melting butter; Katherine poised like a dignified little owlet on a chair, doing her blackboard drawing and giving advice— : all these pictures show us Katherine. We can shut our eyes and imagine her teaching—capable, serious, wise, and kind.

"Arguments out of a pretty mouth are unanswerable."
Someone is speaking; someone is speaking emphatically;
and in fact, someone is arguing. Who? Florence, of course. Where? In civics. Why? She doesn't agree. Oh!! She surely knows the whys and wherefores of her politics. We know she will be a wise, careful voter, who will ponder deeply before she puts her cross on the ballot.

Rachel is an elusive creature with expressive eyes that tell us all. You think she is reserved and hard to talk to; but when you know her, she's a great pal. Although she denies it, she has a quality in her manner which makes us say, "Don't be so bashful and blushful, Ray."
HILDA LOUISE MAXFIELD

I wish I were a youngster and could go to school to Miss Maxfield. I'd love to see her beaming face every day. Yes, Hilda, we all would, and everyone of us is going to miss the jolly smile and infectious giggle of the best representative a class could ever hope to have. She never shirked, for al- though Junior and Senior II made its "rep" doing hard things, she always went through with them, usually to the benefit of the class.

But there's mischief in her eye. ' We never knew what an excellent school-teacher we had in our ranks, until Marguerite showed us in "Model." Ac- cording to all she has that quality which makes a teacher's discipline and teaching perfect. We know without a doubt that she is going to be a fine and beloved leader.
LORETTA MARY McGINTY
North Main St., North Easton, Mass.
' ' ' Her ways are uays of pleasantness.
Loretta is the finest penman in our class. It seems to
prove that one's character is shown by one's handwriting.
What a lovely, smooth, consistent character is hers! She is a fine girl to know, even though she sometimes has a de- pressing conviction that everything she does is terrible. We think it a joke, for we know otherwise.
KATHERINE MARY McKENNA
506 Weir St., Taunton, Mass. W. A. A 1927; Hockey, '27; Basketball, '26; Baseball, '27.
"A good laugh is sunshine in the house."
Where did Puss get her effective nickname? She's the
type who is always ready to bring sunshine into a classroom. Dull care never seems to burden and bend down her shoulders. One of that jolly, athletic crowd from Taunton, no matter

When we "fall in" according to height, Grace usually heads our line. But what has size to do with athletic prow- ess? It was a joy to watch this "Babe" knock our home runs on the baseball diamond. And in spite of a certain nervous- ness, what she does, she does with all her might.
ANNIE ETTA MELLOR
183 Adams St., New Bedford, Mass. W. A. A. 1926-'28; Bowling, '26; Baseball, '26.
"Piping a vagrant ditty free from care." Laughing, carefree Etta was once called "timid." What a grand joke that is to one who knows her! Why, we think of her as a lively, jolly girl who is always composing and sing- ing those delightful, funny parodies. She is a gloom-chaser.
But—she also believes in stud}'ing and doing it thoroughly. Etta was our shining example of, "There's time for work, and a time for play."

"Why is this thusl What is the reason for this thusness?" Who started the class giggling? Muffy, of course. Onset sent a good sport to B. N. S. when she sent Inez. Muffy, the geography fiend, doesn't yet understand about the moon. We advise a moonlight night and observation.
EILEEN FRANCES O'DONNELL

"And her yes, once said to you Shall be yes for evermore."
Eileen is a clever all round student and athlete. She has a very agreeable nature, a good sense of humor, and is always willing to be of assistance. She was surely intended to be a leader. Three cheers for Eileen and may she not forget her friends at Normal School.

"And mistress of herself though china fall."
Tel is the one we all think of when a silence occurs in class, for she always is able to supply valuable and- interest- ing material. What could we have done without her in our hockey and basketball games? She has proved as true a friend as student.

"// we do well here, we shall do well there;
I can tell you no more if I preach a whole year." Edith was not long a member of our class before we found that she was one of the most studious members. She always has her material ready and in perfect order. Senior 3 thinks
that her writing is perfect, and if Edith should specialize in
any subject, penmanship is the one.
BARBARA PRYCE PAGE
40 Thomas Street, Dedham, Mass. Dancing Class '27; Hockey '27; Basketball '28. "Pud"
" Tho I'm always in haste, I'm never in a hurry."

LEONORA ROBERTS

Although she is little, Milly stands out at the top of our

ASSOCIATION OF IDEAS
A word lesson was in progress. The children had begun to understand the meanings of the unfamiliar words. Sentences rippled from their tongues with ease; certain words were dramatized with agility; but all this took place while one little girl, Bernadette, in- sisted on bothering her neighbors, the teacher, and herself. What she was doing really didn't matter but you know those little things that are annoying.
Finally I introduced the word "whims". Fancies, queer notions, and contrary ideas, were offered as synonyms. Then, as a climax, one little boy got up and asked, "Miss Amet, don't you think Bernadette has whims?" Hazel Amet

Betty: No! Isn't it a queer feeling? It seems as though we were "freshies" only yester- day, running around from Physiography in Woodward to Music in Normal, from there to the gym, and then back to Reading in Wood. By the way, will you ever forget our dramatization of the "King of the Golden River?"
Elizabeth : Never! And speaking of dramatization, remember Campus Carnival that year,, and our portrayal of "Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary?" Gert: Yes, and how about the parties that we had our first year—our Christmas party, and the one that the KP l's and 2's gave us at the Kindergarten? Lib: Yes, "much fun was had by all." No wonder the days passed so quickly. Why,
before we knew it, we were KP 2's. Remember how wonderful the new buildings and the campus looked when we came back in the fall? To me the outstanding events of that year were our term spent in the Training School, and the Gym Meet. I think we hadn't realized just how athletic we were until that famous Gym Meet happened.
Fran: And now we are, or rather were, KP l's. Our last year has been rather broken up by outside training, but I'm glad that this spring term has given us a last chance to work and play together.

Last year we elected Helen President of the class; and her re-election this year shows what we think of her. She never seems to get excited, and yet she always has plenty of pep when it comes to running things. She has proved her teaching ability by her success at the Prospect Kinder- garten.

Perhaps you haven't noticed, for Fran's unobtrusive nature may be misleading to those who do not know her, but we who do can vouch for her versatility. With her portrayal of the "Waltzing Doll" to the Training School children, and her year's membership in the Glee Club, we are assured of her musical ability.

Quiet, proper, and dignified was our first impression of Lena May. We were soon disillusioned. Many an out- burst in Room 2 could easily be traced to a certain corner, where, after much pulling and pushing we might reach the center and find Lena, the cause of the merriment.

And now—perhaps you have noticed—she will soon be ranked among those fair damsels who are the fortu-

When she begins to recite on a special topic, you may sit up and take notice, for it will be worth hearing. Barbara has another talent. Have you ever heard her play a violin solo? We understand that horseback riding has several attractions for Barb. We won- der! Whatever you do in the future, Barbara, don't forget your classmates at B. N. S.
LOST—A PITCH, TOO.
Lost—a pitch pipe, and almost time for the music lesson! Where on earth was it? It would be impossible to teach without it. Ask the children? They wouldn't know what pitch pipe meant. Look some more. Oh, well, teach them a new word. "Have any of you seen my pitch pipe?" Blankness. "You know—the little thing on which I play the beginning of the song for you?" No response.
Time for the music lesson. Bravely, an attempt for the pitch. I have it! Ah! "Oh, Miss Herstoff, have you found your bagpipes yet?" "No, John, not yet." Lost—a pitch, too. Lena Herstoff.

History
We started our second year at B. N. S. with a class of fourteen, two less than the preced- ing year. From the beginning we have been divided, part of the class being in Training
School, while the rest attended regular classes or received special training in the Kinder- garten.
Nevertheless, we have kept up our interest in various activities. Although we were too few to have a hockey team, we waited patiently for the basketball season which we entered with added vigor.

PROBLEMS
Long division often puzzles a youngster when he is first learning it, but here is a problem which might well puzzle his student-teacher. Gerald had great difficulty with long division and was now laboring on an example with my help. In the middle of the struggle he looked up and said: "Gee! You certainly earn your keep teaching anyone like me." My problem in long division: How would a student- teacher's salary be divided? Doris Higginbottom

History
After spending a whole year at Bridgewater our class has changed its name from Class D to Class C. Our Freshman problems are over and we feel quite dignified on our new pedestal. We have elected class officers and our meetings seem quite as interesting as any Congress- ional session at Washington.
This year some division of our class has been out training every term, for a first attempt at real teaching.
We are justly proud of the fact that our members participate in every school-activity. One of our group was head of hockey. The class showed skill in soccer, especially the C3 division who certainly knew where the goal-posts were. The C4 division displayed ability on the school soccer team. Of the fourteen young men who received their letters this year, eight were from Class C. In basketball, we tried to live up to the slogan "Never miss a shot." This spring CI and C2 were called upon to defend the class title in baseball.
But we were high scorers not alone in athletics, for we ranked well in scholarship, too. Our motto has been "Onward to success," and with this spirit we have completed a happy and eventful year. Mary Callahan

History
Class D has had an interesting history and has been prominent in many ways. We entered Normal School a happy industrious group, and so we have remained. In our classes we have the reputation of being good workers.
At the end of this first year at Bridgewater, we have gained a view of life that is somewhat broader, and a more determined ambition to be truly successful.

History
The Juniors entered on their two-year Normal career with interest and enthusiasm. Junior II was very nearly a winner in the Freshman Hockey Meet. However, Junior III was successful in overcoming her opponents, and became inter-class champion. The Class Team won four games and lost two. Thus it is apparent that we have been active in ath- letics. Dramatization also held interest for the Juniors. They presented several plays for the Training School pupils, one of which, "The Magic Sword," was given for a Chapel program by Junior I. Later, on Longfellow's birthday, Junior III presented a scene from "The Song of Hia- watha." All three classes are anticipating next year, when they will return to Normal School as Seniors. Josephine Buck Christine Nelson Ruth Schenck
TOM-BOY!
After lunch hour, the children came into the room deep in discussion of a technical point in baseball. They brought the argument to me for settlement. We weighed the question on both sides, and finally I succeeded in quieting the excitement. After I had proved to' them the right solution, one little boy whispered, "Gee! She's a regular tom-boy! She plays base ball 'n' everything!" Esther H. Forsberg.

A JOKE
Some people make bungling work of telling jokes, but here is an example of a small black piece of humanity who knew the art. Mary came up to me with black curls dancing. "I dreamed about you last night, Miss Boomer." "You did, Mary?" This in my most professional tone. "What did you dream?" Innocently, "I dreamed you was walking down the avenue and a monkey was following you and you was singing 'Me and My Shadow'." Pauline F. Boomer
i 96 *•- DORMITORIES
Woodward Hall
President ELEANOR GOMLEY Vice-President JESSICA LEONARD Secretary-Treasurer KATHERINE PACKARD
Woodward Dormitory is organized under the squad system. Each block of rooms elects a squai-leader who co-operates with the head proctor of her floor, who, in turn, aids the president. Together, the squad-leaders, head proctors, and officers of the dormitory make up the true governing body of the house, House Board. However, House Board is not efficient in matters governmental alone, for through its leadership the monthly house-meetings are held. Originally, these meetings were called in order that the president might more easily impart current news or regulations, but this year a new plan has been adopted whereby every other one becomes a party. Thus, in October, after the adjournment of the business meeting, the girls spent a merry hour in renewing childhood by bobbing for apples, racing for marshmallows attached to strings, and playing other "kiddish" games. In the same manner the December meeting was converted into a Christmas party where Santa and Christmas festivity reigned. During January and February the girls became interested in money-making schemes, for they had long been desirous of new decorations for their reception-room. So the dormitory purchased boxes of candy, which, when sold by the head proctors, not only added to the treasury, but also became a welcome addition to many luncheons and dinners. This has been an unusually happy year for Woodward girls. Though their dormitory lacks the homey quality of Gates House and the seclusion of Normal Hall, within its walls two hundred girls find such a spirit of friendship and comradeship as can be found nowhere else. Katherine Packard
Normal Hall
President MARGARET DUNHAM Vice-President MABLE PRATT Secretary-Treasurer CHRISTINE SWANSON
Life at Normal Hall this year will be a happy memory, for good dorm spirit has certainly prevailed. The newcomers are spirited, talented, and full of enthusiasm. They demon- strated this at the entertainment which they gave for the older girls in the form of a most unusual radio concert. Everything went well until someone took that extraordinary radio out of the room, and the announcer kept right on talking.
We are proud to say that the banner for the Inter-Dorm Sing is still hanging on the stairway in full view. Normal Hall had as usual a spooky Hallowe'en party, in which the new girls were led down through the gruesome lower regions where they met with many ghosts and goblins. Next came our Christmas party. Gifts, carols, games, a Christmas tree and refreshments were only part of the fun. Santa Claus was there, but oh, what a different Santa! He had been on a diet, so gone were his fat cheeks and his "tummy," yet he seemed just as jolly as ever.
•* 97 >• 1928 NORMAL OFFERING
And now some good news: Normal Hall is going to have at least half a laundry! We have all worked hard to get it. We gave a food sale which was very successful, and as a result we have a fund which is soon to be converted into an electric iron. Those third-floor bridge parties are usually well-advanced before study-hour, and "sings" on the stairs often resound in the dormitory at 9:45. We're such a sociably happy family, and we so enjoy living here that we are glad to say, at any time, "Oh, we are the girls of Normal Hall!" Christine Swanson
The teaching profession may be overcrowded, but Normal Hall girls do not worry. We'll make our hobbies serve us.

Gates House
President HELEN AYERS Vice-President ELIZABETH BROWN
Secretary-Treasurer . . ETTA ALLEN
In the fall, our house opened for the third year with Helen Ayers as leader and president.
For the first day or two we had no Hostess, but soon Miss Henderson arrived to fill this position. She has been very efficient and most helpful to the girls. The first big social event at our house was a Welcome Party to the new girls and to Miss Henderson. Miss Pope joined us to enjoy our games and refreshments. This party cer- tainly accomplished its aim, for at the end of the evening all of us were thoroughly acquaint- ed. When everyone began to talk of Alumni Week-end, Gates House was scheduled to play hockey against Woodward. "Gwen" was elected captain of our team. Although we could not claim a victory, the spirit and enthusiasm with which the girls played and cheered showed the true Gates feeling. We are only eighteen in number. A visitor is just as likely as not to find some of us gathered around the victrola waiting for the remainder of the household before starting a march to the dining-hall. When you see one Gates House girl you'll surely see some others near. We believe in that old motto: "United we stand; divided we can't be seen." We didn't want Santa Claus to forget us when he paid his visit to the Normal School, so we arranged a Christmas party to attract him. Surely enough, he did come. After our entertainment, he gave each of us a present, tasted our refreshments, and started off for Normal Hall. There were a few thrills of last year which we have not yet experienced. The most anticipated (?) of these is the midnight fire-drill. Perhaps, if we are faithful at practices, and if we expend our scariness on the elusive mice that sometimes scamper aroundour home, we'll even be ready for this thrill. Etta Allen

The Student Government Association has as its main object the regulation of all the affairs of the school that pertain to student life, which do not come directly under the juris- diction of the faculty. In regulating these affairs it tends to promote the spirit of coopera- tion and altruism, and holds the school motto as a slogan, "Not to be ministered unto, but to minister." It not only helps as a unifying force, but also as the means by which the moral and social standards of the school may be made and kept. The two parts of this association are the Dormitory Council and the Student Council. The duty of the Dormitory Council is to regulate the affairs of the dormitory life. The Student Council regulates matters which pertain to the whole student body.

As soon as we had adjusted ourselves to the new school year, the day students met to elect officers and councillors. During Alumni week-end the day students formed a hockey team and showed their prowess by tying both teams of Normal and Woodward Halls. When the Student Council called for pledges to pay for the new Electrola, the day stu- dents came forward with a pledge for twenty-five dollars. We have held food sales to help increase the fund. The Day Student Social was held on January 27th in the gymnasium in the form of a winter carnival, and it proved a great success both financially and socially. We all hope that this success will be repeated many times in the future undertakings of day students. Alice Hickey

As we look at the few pages left on our social calendar, we realize just what a really short time there is left. On the pages we have torn off there have been many red letter dates. Among the first of these was the Hallowe'en Social held in the Albert Gardner Boyden Gymnasium. Every- thing was good, from the young lady who took your little piece of cardboard away from you at the door, to the decorations, and then to the all-important—refreshments. The occasion for the next noticeable rush to the ironing-boards was the tea-dance on the
Saturday afternoon of Alumni Week-end. This is always a gala time, and one of the too few occasions when we have the Alumni back in force.

Then there were those life-savers, Wednesday night dances and Friday night socials. The A's started the year well, and the succeeding socials have maintained the high standard set for them. A word should also be said for our innovation, the electrola, which seems to be in use at noon-time. Certainly some mention of the boys' orchestra should be made; our brothers are coming right along in the musical world. We wish, particularly, to thank the chaperons who have so kindly officiated in that ca- pacity on Wednesday nights. All in all, 1927-1928 has not been such a bad year, —and the committee wishes to thank all those who have helped to make it a success. Esther Forsberg MEMBERS

The club members, always busy and cooperating, put on two one-act comedies on March 2, 1928. This was done without the help of our directrix. The plays "Just Advertise" and "The Trysting Place" were selected by members. The first mentioned was coached by Natalie Turner; the latter by Josephine Shaw.
We chose for our Shakespearian play, "The Taming of the Shrew" and were most for- tunate in having had the opportunity of seeing it produced in Boston with Fritz Leiber, earlier in the year.
Many other social events will be remembered, especially the delightful Christmas dinner and party at Miss Moffit's home.

Comme toujours notre Cercle se reunit au mois de septembre pour le pique-nique annuel. Nous nous amusames bien, car ce fut un pique-nique du plus delicieux. Nous parlames des projets pour l'annee et des moyens pour perfectionner notre Cercle. Le mois de novembre fut renomme, pour plusieurs raisons. Premierement, quelques nouveaux membres furent admis au Cercle. Deuxiemement, ces memes membres nous donnerent de bon divertissement qui fut une vraie surprise. Aussi dans ce mois nous donnames un programme interessant a. l'assemblee generale sous la direction d'un comit6 pour la musique. Cette annee on divisa le Cercle en quelques comites, chaque membre dans un comite. II y eut des comites pour la musique, pour la lecture, pour l'art, etc. Au mois de decembre, ces m£mes comites nous amuserent. Aussi, a ce temps la nous commencames le travail pour notre Fete. Des comites furent nommes et nous travaillames beaucoup. Notre F^te! Que ce fut un succes fou! Ce fut un carnival dans une des provinces de France. L'esprit, les evenements, les decorations et les costumes furent tous comme ceux d'un carnival francais. Le gymnase ressembla vraiment a un grand jardin de la Riviera avec ses jolies fleurs qui firent contraste avec la neige qui couvrit la terre tout autour du gymnase. Le balcon ressembla a un cafe parisien avec ses jolies bonnes en costume. II y eut beaucoup d'evenements a la F6te, parmi lesquels la ridee, une danse de Bretagne, presentee par quelques membres du Cercle, et les voitures decorees des differents clubs furent interessants. Le prix pour la meilleure fut gagnee par le "Library Club." On donna aussi d'autres prix; il y en eut pour ceux qui devinerent l'identite du roi et de la reine. Ce fut Frances Bryant, reine, et Donald Damon, roi. A cause d'avoir vote en secret pour le roi et la reine dans l'assemblee generale, il y eut beaucoup de curiosite concernant leurs identites. II y eut aussi des prix pour les costumes et pour les chats et les chiens dans le concours des chats et chiens. Celui la. fut tres amusant, il y eut de grands et de petits chiens et chats et d'autres rouges, roses, et bleus. Dans l'opinion de tout le monde la soiree fut une occasion tres profitable et amusante. On s'amusa en dansant, en mangeant de la patisserie, en ecoutant le badinage des autres et la musique de l'orchestre en vrais provinciaux francais. Apres la Fete le reste de l'annee fut sous la direction des differents comites et nous traivaillames pour que le souvenir du Cercle soit bon dans les memoires de celles qui partent en juin, et que tous les membres chantent toujours, "Vive le Cercle Francais."

The Library Club has had another very successful and enjoyable year. The meetings have consisted, for the most part, of informal discussions on various subjects concerning books.
Recently, the club has joined the Literary Guild of America which entitles it to a new book each month. At the close of the school year, these books will be placed in the Browsing Corner so that all may enjoy them. In helping to further the joy in reading by contributions to the Browsing Corner, the Library Club has received the cooperation of the Dramatic and Gardening Clubs. A motion picture benefit and an entertaining social given by the club may be numbered among the events of the social calendar. Helen Hutchinson
METAMORPHOSIS
I had been assigned to teach the drawing of a cucumber in the first grade. Now anyone who has taught before our supervisor knows the necessity of having a specimen before be- ing allowed to teach. That was the point which began to bother me when late that Septem- ber afternoon I hiked all over Bridgewater trying to buy, borrow, or otherwise acquire that common vegetable. Finally an idea dawned. I saw Sydney, one of the first-graders, playing around the farm- house which is his home. Immediately I associated "farm" with "cucumber." "Hello, Sydney," I said. "Has your garden any cucumbers which we could draw to- morrow?" "I think there are some in the garden," he said. But all the cucumbers in sight were not green; they were yellow and frost bitten. Surely I couldn't teach the drawing of a yellow cucumber. Then—another bright idea. I thanked Sydney, took the cucumber, and hurried back to the dormitory where I pro- ceeded to make a green vegetable from a yellow one by applying much green crayon! The next day, the lesson progressed in good shape. With great relief I saw the super- visor pass out of the room, unenlightened as to the artificiality of my specimen. At recess Sydney confronted me. "Miss Jacques," he demanded, "did that yellow cucumber grow green overnight?" Edna G. Jacques

That inborn instinct of curiosity is at once aroused when we mention T. C. If T. C. were a curiosity shop, it would have many patrons, we are sure. Owing to the large number of applicants for admission and the number welcomed into the club, we have, enrolled, fifty-five active members—the largest membership ever boasted. Through the splendid cooperation of the new members with the old, T. C. has been able to take on added duties, including that of keeping the auditorium and library supplied with plants and flowers from the greenhouse. We have established a horticultural section in the Browsing Corner of the School Library. A great deal of interest was aroused in the club's contribution to the Fete des Fleurs. Our own annual social, an April Fool Party, on March 30, with its jokes and fun, proved amusing and successful.
We feel that we have accomplished much in the way of promoting the aims of the club, namely,—to promote interest in and to increase the knowledge of horticulture and agricul- ture, primarily in the Normal School at Bridgewater. Esther Gray
PSYCHOLOGICAL METHOD OF BORROWING
Once upon a time a certain gentleman, well-known in this vicinity, borrowed a certain Ford, fairly intact and also well-known. Upon leaving the school which he had been visit- ing, he perceived a large crack in the windshield of the borrowed conveyance.
"Well!" he remarked. "Someone without average intelligence must have thrown a rock at it, and the out of the matter is that he seems to have had a good aim." Whereupon, being a gentleman and a good sport, he drove to the nearest garage and after having a new windshield attached to the car, he decided that, for a Ford, it had reached the limit of im- provability.
Then he returned the car, still fairly intact, to its owner and began an explanation. The owner tried to interrupt, recovered from an attack of near-apoplexy, and finally stuttered feebly, "But, man, that windshield has been cracked for the last four years!"

The Glee Club was very fortunate when many girls possessing musical ability came to Bridgewater last fall. They greatly increased our number, and with the cooperation of previous members the year has been more than successful. At Christmas time, following the custom of former years, we led the carols at the Yule- tide dinner and, later in the evening, at Dr. Boyden's residence. This was only the first of our many appearances. In February, we were honored by an invitation to sing at a meeting of the convention of national educators. The annual concert in April with our fine soloist was one of the great social events of the year. With music at Baccalaureate and Commencement, our activities were ended for one of our most successful years.

ONE OUT!"
Short division! The intricacy of its process seemed far above the minds of my little third grade. When to borrow and when not to borrow—that was the question. To divide by two and have three left over—possible, yes, and why was it wrong? To-day I had resolved that I would teach them the process if I had to spend half the day doing it. So I drilled and drilled, dictated examples, worked them at the board, helped individuals, talked, explained, and used every other method known to me. At last the hush of assurance that accompanies the dawn of knowledge came over the group.
I passed paper for the day's written work. Everyone seemed eager to begin,—all but swarthy little Oliver down in the front seat. He seemed deep in thought,—scowling, puz- zling, his bushy black head resting on his hands. As a last urge I said, "Now let me see everyone working."
Up shot Oliver's hand. With all the pathos of a confused soul, he stood up, his eyes troubled and strained, and shaking his black head he answered my questioning look. "Miss Lynch", he said solemnly, "I don't ketch on.V

Pro and Con, as the name suggests, is a club whose members look on both sides of all questions before making decisions. The club was organized in March, 1927, and has pro- gressed rapidly from seven to twenty-seven members. The aims of the organization are, first, to prepare the members to be better teachers by helping them to gain a better control of the English language, and second, to give them a working knowledge of parliamentary law. Our work so far has been along the lines of parliamentary procedure and argumentation. We have learned how to carry on the business of a meeting involving motions, nominations, repealing of motions, appealing of decisions from the chair, laying of matters on the table, rescinding of motions, and cases of order. In argumentation, we studied the forming of propositions and the drawing-up of briefs. We expect to do more work in debating during the coming year. All members of the student body are eligible for membership. We shall be pleased to accept new members until our quota is filled. Leonora Sullivan Secretarv Pro Tern

The Men's Club of Bridgewater Normal School was organized in the fall of 1928 for the purpose of promoting the social and professional welfare of the men of the school. One of the most successful events of the year was a three-act farce, "The Arrival of Kitty," which was presented in the Horace Mann Auditorium, February 3. The cast of characters was as follows:
William Winker—Robert F. Shea Bobbie Baxter, —Donald A. Damon Aunt Jane, his sister,—Archibald B. Shaw Benjamin More,—Alexander Purdon
Jane, his niece,—Thomas J. Costello Ting, a bell boy,—Leo J. Chareth Sam, a colored porter,- -Frank K. Dillon Kitty, an actress, —George L. Kane Suzette, Aunt Jane's Maid,—Emmett M. O'Connell
We are greatly indebted to Miss Adelaide Moffitt, directrice of the play, for the success which her efforts merited. The Club has planned social activities for at least once a month during the year. These meetings have been deeply worth while and greatly enjoyed. George V. Moore i 123 )•• 1928 NORMAL OFFERING

At the first meeting in December, we started out on our new career, introducing our new members to the Scout work and planning many interesting activities for the remainder of the year. Some of these are leather-work, a leadership course, life-saving, nature study, stunts, hikes, archery, and a trip to Cedar Hill. One of our most interesting projects has been writing to the various Normal Schools of the state to find out what they are doing in the field of Scouting. We feel that, since our reorganization, our troop has been more successful, and more people have been interested in the Scout work. Eleanor Bates

If, as psychologists tell us, we learn by doing, then we may say that W. A. A. has greatly increased its fund of knowledge, for its sphere of activity has this year been larger than ever before.
President Clara Almstead started the movement by the talk she gave in Chapel at the beginning of the year. She explained to the freshmen how W. A. A. was organized and governed, and reviewed for all the aim of the association: to develop in every member as far as possible the qualities of Scholarship, Service, Sportsmanship, and Stability.
This was followed by the annual hot-dog roast. At the first general meeting, nearly every girl was present when we promised to
" —pledge allegiance to our health, And so to W. A. A. For Service, Sportsmanship, and Scholarship We'll strive hard every day. For Stability we too will try In all our work and play; Where e'er we are, we'll all be true To thee, oh, W. A. A."
Then, on November 11 and 12, delegates from the athletic associations of the Normal Schools at Framingham, Salem, Hyannis, Fitchburg, North Adams and Lowell came to Bridgewater for the first normal school athletic conference in the history of the state. The organization of each association was discussed from the social, financial, and sport-organiza- tion angles. As speakers, Miss Florence Somers, Assistant Supervisor of Physical Educa- tion in Massachusetts; Miss Lee Walmsley, Professor of Physical Education at Bates College in Maine; Miss Bessie Barnes, Supervisor of Physical Education at Brookline; and Miss Virginia Pierce, Director of Physical Education at Brockton High School, gave the delegates an idea of the new movements in theory and practice which are taking place in physical education work.

The purpose of the conference was to help each association solve its problems by dis- cussing general and local problems that have arisen. This was so successfully carried out that it was decided to make the conference an annual event. Having thus received added inspiration, W. A. A. proceeded to make innovations. Apples were procured and sold in the dormitories, dolls were dressed for settlement-house children, and skating-parties were organized. Definite awards for each sport were decided upon, and a ruling was made that members of teams need not keep health rules. These were placed on a term basis with a definite number of breaks in order to encourage girls to keep them. New ways of playing off games were tried out in hockey and basketball. In hockey, Class B and Division D2 were champions of their groups; the Commuter's Team tied with Woodward's Team for the dormitory championship; Class B Team defeated the All-Freshman Team for the school championship, and the All-Senior Team defeated the Alumnae. In basketball, Junior 3 won the division championship and Class A the class champion- ship. The Red and White game was closely contested, and resulted in a victory for the White Team.
Throughout the year, a spirit of co-operation has been evident; and so we sing with feeling

Rita read very well until she came to the word "saw." She paused, then called it "was."
The teacher said, "No, Rita, it is 'was' turned just the other way." Rita commenced to re-read the troublesome sentence: "The plant—was turned just the other way,—the sun's rays coming to make it grow."

I am not bound to win. But I am bound to be True. I am not bound to succeed

Success is a peculiar thing! Too often, in athletics, it is measured by the number of "wins" and "losses." But—does a statement of the number of "games won" give an accur- ate picture of the Success of a team? We measure Success—not by the "games won"—but by the spirit with which the game was played, and by the ideals of sportsmanship lived up to by our team. Did we use unfair tactics? Did we "crab" the officials? Did we "quit" when behind? Did we "crack" under pressure? Did we "alibi"? If we can answer the above questions with a big "No"—we claim a successful season.
Soccer 1927
Robert F. Newbury, Coach; Leo Farren, Manager; Charles Belcher, Captain.
This season brought to a close our third year of organized soccer. Soccer was introduced :nto this institution by one of Fall River's most ardent soccer fans—Bob Newbury. For three years he has coached, captained, and managed our soccer outfits. Everything was not easy for Bob—it was a difficult task to put soccer into the hearts of dyed-in-the-wool football enthusiasts. Persistence did it! Now it is just as common to hear "free-kick" as "forward pass" in Bridgewater. Soccer has arrived—and it seems to be here to stay. Out of a stiff schedule of seven games, the team won three, lost three, and tied one. Normal scored twelve goals while its opponents scored fourteen. Newbury was high scorer. He accounted for nine points.
Captain Charles Belcher played an excellent game in the back field. His steady work and inevitable "big boot" have turned back many hopeful attacks on our goal. The sun seems to be shining directly over Bridgewater Normal School as far as Soccer for 1928 is concerned. Of the fourteen men to receive "letters" this year, thirteen return to school next year.
The men awarded letters are: Charles Belcher, Archibald Shaw, James Beckwith, Robert Newbury, Leo Farren, Benjamin Hill, Raymond Jeness, Charles Genaitis, Ralph Martin, Joseph Sweeney, Lawrence Mantyla, Walter Longmore, Martin White, and Osborn Bearse.

Basketball 1927-28
Albert G. Reilley, Captain-Coach; Robert J. Newbury, Manager.
This season the basketball team faced one of the most difficult schedules in the history of the school. Sixteen games, with first-rate clubs, were played in all. The outstanding feature of the entire season was a six-day trip through Maine and Massachusetts. During this time, approximately one thousand miles were covered and four games played. The
i 131 >••• 1928 NORMAL OFFERING
first game was at the University of Maine, then Gorham Normal, Farmington Normal, and last of all St. John's. Although the team lost the entire four games, they left an impression of a small, hard-working, clean playing, sportsmanlike group of men in every school in which they played. To the school, this impression is of far more importance than any clean sweep of victories could be. As Oliver Wendell Holmes says:
To brag little To show well To crow gently if in luck To pay up, own up,
And shut up, if beaten Are the virtues of a sportingman
For the first time in four years, Normal earned a hard-fought but decisive victory over Fitchburg Normal School. The score see-sawed back and forth all during the game. Fitch- burg led at the end of the half 20-19. The second half was a battle royal—and when the final gong rang Bridgewater was on the long end of the score—34-32.

As Captain Reilley is the only regular to be graduated this year, the school should be represented by a fast aggregation next year. The men to receive basketball letters are Belcher, Burke, Hill, Newbury, O'Connell, Reilley, and Shaw.
Baseball 1928
Albert G. Reilley, Captain-Coach; Raymond Jeness, Manager.
Baseball prospects look better this year than they have for many years. With five veterans and a wealth of promising material in the first year class, it seems as though Captain Reilley has the makings of a good club. The catcher's position seems to be in doubt—Bearse, a freshman, and Hill seem to be the leading contenders. The mound seems to be well fortified in Doll and Damon. A veteran infield will probably start the season—Al Murphy who has held down the first sack for the last two seasons; Al Reilley will start his fourth year as guardian of the keystone sack; Parker at the hot corner, and White in the short field. Among the freshmen, Damon, Bearse, Burke, Palopoli, Costello, Evans, and Averill seem to be the most likely candidates for regular positions.

WHEN I AM DEAD
When I am dead, I want to be the mould That still lives on, when dust-to-dust is tolled; That nourishes some fine, tall, cedar tree Whose roots reach down for life to me, And wrap my heart in unrelaxing hold.
Life may be trapped in sorrow, fold on fold; And even the Great One only whisper "Sold," To mark the ending of my revelry.
But when the cedar's blood comes running cold
And fills me so I live again, and bold,
Then I shall know I have served worthily, And my reward for service done shall be
To bear a cedar tree when I am old, When I am dead. Beatrice Cooke
SNOW IN THE HILLS RAIN
Down in the hills I haven't thought so much of tides, The snow's dim light Or rough cream surf, blown free. Gleams through the trees But when the rains come back again
On a winter's night. I want to be at sea. In God's dear hills The snow lies white. It splashes on the hard black roads; It tinkles on the glass;
Down in the hills It polishes the painted leaves, On a winter's night And touches up the grass. Soft through the trees Comes the dim snow-light. But out a league or two from shore In God's dear hills It's silver, pouring free;
The snow lies white. I want to stand a watch on deck On raining nights at sea.

SPRING AUTUMN
See the birch trees All around, dead leaves Unclench their myriad fists And flower stalks lie. To catch the warm tears They are as motionless and silent Of an April sky. As a memory that hurts, but returns.

BLINKS FEAR
The sudden shutting When first he came a-knocking at my door
Of the great yellow eye I was in great despair; That watches me at my work And because I did not think or care
The black is so sudden I let him in unaware.
That it startles me.
But now I cannot free myself Mable Pratt Of his great clinging chain, For Fear has taken hold of me
And I'll not be free again!

Rachel S. Marsden A NIGHT TIME
Give me a ride on your coaster, Wind, MY WAY HOME Carry me straight up to heaven; Whizz me around a few planets, Wind, The way to my house is an aisle through beauty,
Now shoot me breathlessly down again. Wait till I tell you about it First there's a house with smooth, round pillars.
I'm weaving a rope all of moonbeams, Wind, It has a wide lawn beside it, Slow up and watch me lasso a star; Like a green blanket drying out on the ground;
I'll triumphantly tumble it after me, Wind, I have to edge around it.
Now, one, two, three—I have it! Hurrah! The lawn has a bunch of white birches to watch it. It's celery at night. I saw it!
I'll break off the points of this too proud star,
So it'll have something to remember us by; Across the way is a salmon-pink roof.
I'll toss it to earth and try for another Some vines pull it down tight.
What? Tired already, Wind? Well, so am I. Another house is the cutest thing! My Christmas-card house at night, Just carry me over the pale Milky Way It has such shiny paint and green blinds To the horizon, tired as a feather; It makes me feel just right! Now pillow me here on soft puffs of breeze But the best of all is my own sky and stars There! Now we'll watch the sunrise together. At the hill-top. I hug them tight! Josephine Shaw Josephine Shaw

AN EXPLANATION WALLS
I cannot say the things I wish They have builded me a barricade against the hurri-
Therefore I do not know cane, But, They have given me a shelter from the windstorm
I can see romance in a glorious sunset, and the rain; The morning star takes my breath away. With timber, glass, and plaster
I can feel a tug and a pull as the waves rise and fall. To guard me from disaster, A melody delights until it gives pain, They have only walled my isolation tightly in again
And I cringe as I feel my body beneath the car wheels.

THE PECULIARITIES OF CAESAR
Caesar was uneasy last night. So was I. It was a case of nerves for both of us. After a tiring day it certainly is a difficult thing to get to sleep, and I fancy our roommate had given up all attempts to rest. For a moment I felt the desire to speak out and ask Caesar what the matter was; but no, thought I, he shall not be denied the last delicious crumbs of cake. It was heavenly.
The girls say that nothing can be more fear-inspiring than the figure of Caesar. Strange that I don't object to him. Sometimes the fiercest exteriors hide mild natures.
Our Caesar is usually very considerate. He never bothers us during the day, but at night! Do you know, I never heard of anyone with such a habit of rummaging about among papers in the dark. It is most distracting and nerve-racking to say the least.
Tomorrow I shall have to put a little trap at the door of Caesar's palace.

Thin lips twisted to a one-sided smile. The eyes. . . .calm, yet. . . .superficially so. He forced a laugh. "Rather amusing, isn't it?" "Hardly that." She smiled. Both sides this time, but her lips remained pressed to- gether. He looked about the room. It was what he had expected. Alison loved it! Pictures, —modern, esoteric things. An unfinished one on an easel; a messy, crude affair. Flung •over a couch in the corner was a shawl, flashing, alive with color. He couldn't help ad- miring it. She offered him a cigarette which he refused, shortly after taking one from his own case. "You were saying that you love Alison.'' Need she fling that at him? "Yes,—and hate you!" "But don't you see that Alison should never marry?" "Shouldn't marry me?" "Shouldn't marry anyone. You should be able to see that. I'm convinced that she has real ability."
"Ability that I would. ..." "Ability that marriage would ruin. You can talk all you want to about not having children and remaining free, but children have a habit of coming and freedom a habit of disappearing." She smiled the twisted smile. "Her talent would be wasted." "Talent be damned! Ability for what? She hasn't a passion for painting any more than you have! It's all superficial, a pose! Something to hide behind! That's your hold on her. You. ..." "Hold?" She raised her eyebrows and smiled.
"Yes, hold! You know it! You know she would marry me if it wasn't for you!"
"But I can't...."
"You're worse than I thought! I wouldn't object if it were simply a question of mar- riage. I wouldn't marry her now anyway. But she too is adopting a pose! You're poisoning her life with a philosophy that's a lie! You know it's a lie. It's the pose of a coward!" "At least we don't get all messed up about things we can't help." She moved across the floor to a chair. "Won't you sit down?" "That's just it! You're afraid to take life seriously!" He saw a smile start to creep up the side of her face. "Of course you smile! Seriousness is ridiculous! Everything is amusing! You wear a smock daubed with paint, cut your hair, and laugh at your own pictures! What do you mean, talent?" "But it's rather picturesque, don't you think?"

She lit a cigarette with the stub of the one she had finished. "What do you mean?" She laughed. "You want her to be happy though it make you miserable! Her happiness before your own! Really you might have stepped out of a movie!" "You think that people don't feel deeply or sincerely outside of a novel just because you don't! You've never loved, never suffered, never felt any real emotion! You're an artist! Ha! You don't even find joy in creation. It's amusing! You're a cheap fake!" "Easy, don't get excited. Sit down; it may help." Flames leaped through his mind. The distance between them disappeared. He felt the sting of her cheek beneath his hand. All strength ebbed from him. He sank into the chair from which she had leaped. As though through a mist he saw her standing over him, swaying slightly from side to- side, tearing at her breast with talon-like hands. She choked, tried to say something, couldn't. Again she tried. ..." "You. . . .you. . . .you fool! You think that I . . . .that I haven't. She stopped, let her arms drop to her side. Suddenly she seemed calm again. Fascin- ated, he watched the corner of her mouth being drawn upward by the muscles of her cheek. Slowly she turned her back and walked across to the chair she had offered him. Pictures, chairs, the table, all were obliterated. Only that woman and himself, and a terrible silence remained. He felt he would never be able to move again, but would have always to sit with his eyes fastened on that woman's face. If only she wouldn't smile!
Neither moved. Like a tableau of death they sat, staring into each other's eyes. . . . A knock on the door nearly started him out of his chair. Silence flooded down imme- diately. He watched her turn her head away. A pressure seemed removed from his face when she turned her eyes toward the door. Watching her lips he heard the words, "Come in." "Austin!" At last! Released! His eyes moved swiftly from that woman's face. "Alison!" "What are you doing here? What's the matter?" "Your boy friend has been giving me a lecture. He's resting now; don't disturb him."
"But I don't understand. Austin, how did you get here? What did you come for? Why didn't you call for me?" " "I came I came Why had he come? He didn't know. Nobody knew.

"Yes, that's all I have heard, interspersed with a few 'I love you's.' " She turned on him. "You fool! I just mailed a letter asking you to forgive me for my last one! You

He sat staring at her as though he had heard no word she said. Then slowly he rose and walked toward her. Stopping a moment in the center of the room, he looked with his expressionless eyes into her burning ones, then sluggishly turned away and left the room, softly closing the door behind him.

WAITING FOR SPRING
It happens that way every year. I start out in the morning a perfectly normal, well- balanced person, but somewhere between the going and the coming all this sanity drops from me. I think it must be the wind that does it; there is something about the wind in early March that is ineffably sweet and warm. It penetrates the clothing, the body; it goes through us, (not around us as do the earlier winds) until we can understand how a ghost feels when he is able to pass through the realities of the world without resistance.
There is something unreal about the walks, too, for if I turn suddenly I see a flash of color that must be tulips and narcissi hurrying around the corner. Sometimes I wait there for them to come back, but after a while the wind cools and starts humming a brisk military tune; and I go back to the house to wait, by the fire, for Spring.

The Instructor: "Now think back over the last two or three centuries."
Mr. Arnold, on immigration, pointing to the map: "Yes, the Irish are particularly thick in this section of the country, and the Russians are as bad."
THE SENIOR CLASS IN GEOGRAPHY:
Mr. Sinnott—"Any questions to be asked on the influence of the earth's form and motion upon human life?"— I. Murphy "Mr. Sinnott, I wish you would explain about the moon; it's a bit hazy."
SUCH PESSIMISM FROM CLASS A! — Mr. Hunt (trying to fix I Q's in our minds): "Now this is Intelligence Quotient, there- fore abbreviated it is I Q. Don't make the mistake I so commonly hear, of thinking it means 'Intelligence Test' and calling— it I T." Al Murphy (sagely): "I Q is IT, nowadays."
Tommy was receiving his first lesson in addition. "There are Mr. Jones, and Mrs. Jones, and the baby. Now tell me how many there are." "Two, and one to carry!"
QUOTED?
Mr. A-n-1-:—You know the old saying, "Let us eat, drink, be merry, and—er— die!"
MODERN PROBLEMS Miss Beal:— "Your newspaper report, Mr. Higgins?" Jerry: "Well—er—this hasn't been published yet, but'
Mr. Arnold:—"Suppose you were a pauper and passed your hat around this class right now, Mr.— Reilley. What then?" Al: "I'd still be a pauper."
COLOR-BLIND?
Miss Hill: "Is there not a guide to Shakespeare in the library?' First Student: "Oh, yes. It's a red book, isn't it?"
Second Student: "Yes, in the library. It's blue, I think." Third Student: "I remember! It has a green cover."
QUOTED FROM COMPOSITION:

N. A. A. NIGHT
Mother: "Please don't go to the dance to-night. It's raining hard and your rubbers leak." Young Son: "That's all right, ma. I have pumps inside them."
A man of diminutive dimensions sat down at a restaurant table. "I want some salad." "What kind—shrimp?" "Don't get funny with me, young man!" — Mr. Arnold: "How long would it take you to make a farm, Mr. Cameron?" Charlie:—"Me???"
The class was discussing the occupations of various members of the family. Teacher: "Mary, what does your mother do?" Mary: "Oh, my mother talks and sometimes she works."
Freshman to member of Glee Club "Does the Glee Club sing at the Glee Club Concert?"
ENGLISHING THE FACULTY
1. Make a program of action. 2. What! Nothing to do?
3. When I was Principal of the Training School. 4. Class A. seems to be the big offender.
5. Now I know you know all this. 6. How are you going to invest your savings next year?
7. (1) (3)....
(2) (4).
8. Or let me ask you this question. 9. Just wait a minute, we're going to have something to eat! 10. Well, I'm not sure about this. 11. This is not a practical course. The results may not appear until ten years from now. 12. Well—it may be—or it may not be. 13. That's all for to-day. (Time, 3:15).
