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? Margaret E. Dunham ! 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. Music by Wm.

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 ...I 11 J-... t 11 [ — — 1928 NORMAL OFFERING IN MEMORIAM—MICHAEL LOUIS O'BRIEN Inspired by the will to know the truth, he came to Normal School. Taken by the hand of death, he found the truth at last in life immortal. HARVEST One by one candles are snuffed out One by one The Reaper cuts the blades of wheat When my stalk rubs his sharp blade, Would that I feel no pain, But just cool sleep again In peace.

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.
