21 The Tear "Book 1932

Chronicle of tfje Commercial Class of 1932

Fellow Classmates of the Commercial Senior Class:

Before leaving the sacred portals of our dear Alma Mater, let us pause a few moments and, by means of mental television, view the activities which constitute the history of our class.

First of all, note that in September, 1928, forty-five eager young people of excep- tional merit and promise, representative of our country's youthful intelligentsia, entered the portals of State Teachers College as Commercial Freshmen. How enthusiastic we were! My, weren't we glad that the upperclassmen had adopted us and had written, giving us "pointers!" As members of this entering class, how eager and appreciative we were of our opportunities to train for that most worthy of all profes- sions—teaching! Note how, just as had the freshmen of previous years, we, too, became perplexed at our new surroundings, and how rude a jolt it was to realize that we were not the looked-up-to members of society that we had been as seniors in high school. Then, to plunge us still further into the depths of "undignified nothingness," we were sub- jected to that most dreaded of ceremonies, initiation, which assumed a particularly gruesome air by being cloaked as a Halloween party. The fact that the girls were arrayed in bloomer-dresses and green hair-ribbons, and the boys in costumes not be- fitting their advanced "teens" must certainly have been a good test for our poise. Had we asked for a rank in this test we would probably have been told that "measur- ing results in education" had not yet advanced sufficiently far to cover the case. The walk is ended, "but the memory lingers on" —especially in Bubbles' mind. Perhaps it would also be well to note that, after what seemed hours of humiliation and mental torture, our kind (?) hosts and hostesses, heeding the well-known admonition to practice charity, allowed us to partake of the refreshments and join in the dancing. Meanwhile from dawn to dawn, we became acquainted with such noted authorities as Gras, Averill, Gregg, and Jackson, Sanders and Sproul, all reeking with that ominous air known only to freshmen. Horrors, witness the distribution of those "cute" white slips by Miss Wellman, our Registrar, to some unfortunate members of our class at the end of the first quarter of our Freshman year. How flattered must certain parents have felt on being "singled out" to receive notices "elaborating" on the message given by the white slip. Note that the Commercial Freshman class was honored when one of its members, Kay Santamaria, was elected a class officer. Remember that we elected Alice Kiember as our able representative on the Co- ative Council. My, wasn't Roy Goren also busy as an active member of the Girl Scout Club?

22 1932 s. r. c.

We must not neglect those extra-curricular activities which added considerably to our first year's happiness! Of the various activities, perhaps the W. A. A. attracted the most students —Sophie Baranowski, Kay Connelly, Mary Conley, Roy Goren, Mary Horrigan, Alice Kiember, Evelyn Murphy, and Kay Powers. Murph represented us on the winning Field Ball team. At Mid-Year report cards proved the rumor that some of our faculty members are staunch believers in the "normal curve of distribution."

Note that the Glee Club and M. A. A. introduced us to more of the social life of Teachers College during the month of February, while the seniors showed us that they were human in their inspirational presentation of an operetta in March.

It has been said that freshmen delight in missing classes. Our class proved to be no exception as was evidenced during our trip to the Salem Laundry- Ask Mary Conley and her followers for further particulars. May 29 proved an important social date on many of our classmates' calendars, for, it was the date of the eagerly anticipated Trimu Dance at Pickman Park Manor. We surely cannot overlook that often-recalled geography class hike to Devereux Beach. How dumbfounded we were when we learned that we had to display our ob- servatory reactions to the trip in an artistic (?) map. We wonder at the advisability of Miss Flanders' attempting to decipher them. Shall we ever forget those long history assignments which continually haunted us, especially the one due after ranks had been passed in to the office? Who but a freshman could overlook so fine but important a point as this last! Thus passed our Freshman Year at State Teachers College!

September, 1929, found us another step nearer our goal. How little did we dream in our childhood days that typewritten budgets and geography lesson plans, more typewriting budgets and more geography lesson plans, could cause those "deep dark circles" and mar or sour the sweetest of dispositions? Then came the Sissy Football team as an indication of our extraordinary athletic

(?) ability. Our Sophomore year, however, brought us one disappointment of a lifetime for we were deprived of the opportunity to give a practical display of our "selling prowess," and incidentally, to take the role of "breadwinner" for three weeks.

Whether the disappointment consisted more in the former or the latter is difficult to determine. Surely, we shall never forget that surprise Christmas Party instigated by Mr.

Phillips, our faculty adviser, and Alice Kiember. How cleverly it was financed! How little we realized when we contributed toward the cost of replacing a supposedly lost book that our money was to be used in purchasing joke presents, etc. Yum, can't Mrs. Phillips make delicious candy! We do not have to be reminded of the delightful harbor trip on that bleak day not long afterwards. Our friends from the western part of the state certainly enjoyed

23 The Year ^Book 1932

their first real boat ride. My, what commotion accompanied the news that several of

our classmates were ill on the following day! Even three of the five sailors from Glou- cester—Dot, Kay, and Mac—were among the victims. Murph and Muniz must have felt obliged to uphold the fish city's reputation! It was on this same trip that Rov suffered the loss of a heel. Particulars concerning the "tale attached" may be procured, free of charge, from the individual in question. Alice Kiember and Dot Ernst represented us on the Council; Alice as Secretarv, and Dot as a member of the Social Committee. At last, after over thirty weeks of work, work, work, with only a few precious moments taken off for that most needed and appreciated of life's offerings—social life —our Sophomore year came to a formal close with the appearance of still more slips from the controllers of students' destinies, the faculty.

Note that September, 1930, marked the beginning of a third epoch in our normal school career. From all indications, the Junior Class was quite evenly divided between work and

school, twelve being enrolled in the business world and ten in S. T. C. My, didn't the ten miss the twelve employed in the business world, especially at initiation time when they were obliged to put on the customary stunts without their clever assistance. How the ten missed the business members again not long afterwards when they were obliged to put on the chapel program. No wonder they often re- gretted that Mr. Pitman allowed us to remain away so long.

How the faculty rejoiced when we appeared on the scene! (?) Let's see, whom did the other ten choose to represent the Commercial Juniors on the Co-operative Council? Oh, yes, Kay Powers as a regular council representative and

Mac as a member of the Social Committee, Mac having been elected to take Dot

Ernst's place since Dot had decided to work the first semester. By the way, didn't Mary Horrigan and Kay P. add other feathers to the crown of the Commercial Class of 1932 when they were elected as Secretary of the Council and as Chairman of the Hand- book Committee respectively? As usual, marks announced the end of another period of mental toil. Deep sighs of relief greeted the news that the faculty had found us all capable of entering the senior class. Note that more students from our class remained to witness Class Day activities

than in previous years. Reasons? 1. To get ideas for our own Class Day. 2. To back our classmate, Helen Henderson, who was ably taking the leading role in the Pageant.

Triumphant expressions on the brows of the surviving twenty-one members of the original forty-five marked the return of these students to Salem Teachers College as Commercial Seniors. Each one of these twenty-one students proceeded to exploit his talents, previously overshadowed by the more forward members. The class certainly exercised good judgment in electing Helen Donahue the class

24 .

1932 *S . T. C

treasurer. Helen must have liked to handle money for she sold candy every day while a senior. Don't overlook the preparations for the Commercial Freshman initiation under [he chairmanship of Kay Powers. How we delighted in initiating those unfortunate individuals, even as had the upperclassmen of four years previous. So acute was the memory of our feelings in bloomer-dresses that we leniently allowed the freshmen to appear in beach pajamas. Roy should be congratulated at this point for her ability as a good stunt finder. The Cooperative Council seems almost like another Commercial Senior class due

to the fact that five of our twenty-one are members. Marion Macdonald is president; Frances Altieri, Commercial Senior representative, and chairman of the Welfare Com- mittee; Helen Henderson as president of the Trimu represents that club; Mildred Rose represents the International Relations Club; Evelyn Murphy as representative of the Geography Club. Now that we have been considering the Cooperative Council, we should give a vote of thanks to our Welfare Committee chairman for her kindness in

seeing to it that the upperclassmen received an additional mirror in their locker rooms. The Commercial Club should also be noted as one of this year's undertakings. Mary Conley, Kay Connelly, and Helen Henderson ablv represent the seniors in this new organization. Anne Chaisson and Helen Henderson possess acting ability as was evidenced in

their performances in the Christmas Play. Who would have thought it possible that our much admired Anne could become transformed into a bent old lady? Owing to the absence of Miss Flanders, three Gloucesterites, Dorothy Ernst, Evelvn Murphy, and Kay Powers, active members of the Geography Club, are in charge of the Bookstore this year.

It is only fitting at this time that our chapel pianist, Marion Macdonald, should be recognized. Surely, more of us wish that we had her musical talent, but it is certain that more of our students are not displaying the musical ability they possess, because in the Geography Club program Betty Goldman, and Kav Santamaria were noted as the violinists, and Mamie Russin as the pianist. In January the much anticipated trip to the Federal Reserve Bank was made. Mr.

Phillips decided that since we were in Boston we might as well make a dav of it, so we went through the First National Bank and then to the Stock Exchange. Last, but not least, we ate and thence went to the theater. We are still wondering if our teachers noticed our laziness next dav. Exactly one week later, the privileged eight of our class —the shorthand division—visited the Boston Clerical School. We are wondering why Bubbles was so eager to evade observing a certain voung male teacher's typewriting class! Our teachers evidently thought that depression was far awav from us, because after some of us had gone to Boston twice Miss Roberts decided that we should go again. This time we went to the State House to see to what extent Parliamentary Law procedure was carried out, and incidentally to hear heated discussions.

25 The Year Hook 1932

With the announcement of the Year Book staff we were glad that several of our class were honored: Mary Horrigan, Business Manager; Alice Kiember, Associate Editor; Kay Powers, Humor Editor; Dorothea Lucia, Photography Editor, Kay

Santamaria, Printer, and Roy Goren, Typist. Is it any wonder that our book is one of the best ever? Due to the fact that a bill was before the State Legislature to change the name of the State Normal School, Marv Conley, chairman of the Ring and Pin Committee, had some job before the pins and rings were finally ready for distribution.

Can it be true that our senior year is a thing of the past with graduation, classes, all too soon mere memories to be recalled and relived with the aid of mental television? Since such is the case, Fellow Classmates, stand prepared to meet the many challenges which the future holds and rest assured that the history yet to be made will be fully as brilliant as the history of your college days. Evelyn Murphy

& Commercial Senior's Bream

The world has ended and all the people thereof are standing at the "golden gate of heaven." "Well," said I to myself, "here is a good chance to see all those people who didn't appear at the last reunion of the Commercial Senior Class of 1932, and find out how they have been treated by the cruel, old world."

Standing head and shoulders above the crowd is Marion Macdonald, and as usual, she is furnishing music for the occasion. Suddenly I spy Kay Santamaria standing placidly awaiting her turn to enter upon her eternal reward. Of course, Kay has no doubt that she will be given a pair of wings, because since June, 1932, she has been editor of the True Love magazine and has helped many love-lorn and torn hearts out of difficulties. She tells me that one of her most constant customers in this line is Mary Horrigan.

Ha, look here—Fran Altieri, sound asleep, but I wake her up to see if she knows any news. Fran always seemed to have gotten in on everything. She herself, since '32 had been secretary to a Turkish sultan. She had also satisfied a life-long desire to travel, having embarked on the matrimonial seas more than once. In her travels, Fran encountered Sophie Baranowski who spent her life on earth singing in a church in Algeria. Anne and Kay Shoppes were known everywhere throughout the United States and Europe. Anne used to do the buying and Kay the selling, but somehow they never made any profits. They finally hired a first-class accountant from the firm of Donahue,

Inc. to help them out. Helen Donahue could always make a profit. Of course, it was

26 1932 s. r. c.

onlv on paper, but Mr. Phillips always used to say that the world's business was

figured on a paper basis. Look who's flying around on a beautiful pair of white wings —Mary Conlev. Mary, during her stay on earth, became a play producer and was said to have written, produced and acted in the worst (and incidentally in the best) shows ever shown on Broadway. Mary tells me she was talking to Mamie Russin a few clouds away, and found that she married a certain dentist. Mamie always did have a weakness for dentists.

Betty Goldman spent her life as an acrobat in Sells-Floto circus. As a sideline she

studied the status of society with a view to improving it, but now the world and

society just "ain't no more." This proves Betty's life-long contention that study is a great waste of time.

Now, I wonder who this little fellow is? Oh, yes, I thought he looked familiar, Musty or Professor Muniz. Ahem! Sees all, knows all, and never misses anything.

W herever Musty is, Cohen must be too. We all remember Mr. Cohen's skill in arith-

metic at S. T. C, and since opposites attract, Mr. Cohen, so it was reported to me, married the belle of Marblehead, his former student in algebra.

Wonder what all the excitement is over on that white cloud? Why, someone is being helped up the ladder from earth to heaven! Late as usual —it's Alice Kiember.

Well, I'm not so surprised as I might be, for after all you just couldn't expect Bubs to be on time. She made a dramatic appearance at the eleventh hour for her wedding.

Bubs' life work on earth was that of congresswoman from the State of Holvoke. You say that's a city? You see, even Teachers College graduates can't know everything. It

was made a separate state due to the wide publicity given it by A. A. M. Kiember, Ph.D., M.A., etc. Dot Lucia, sitting peacefully on a cloud, states that she has chosen lecturing as her work. She spoke on any subject from A to Z for any desired length of time, and was awarded the title of the world's greatest lecturer. Dot Ernst, Kay Powers, and Evelyn Murphy were chemists of wide-spread fame.

Dot spent a life of earnest effort to prove the value of a one-mouse power lung. Kay definitely established the fact that the most important things in life were the shortest, while Evelyn worked on the theory that "'tis better to have spoken and have been heard than to wait until you are called upon, and then give the wrong answer." Roy Goren worked on the "Like and Unlike Theory of Twins."

I was just talking to Helen Henderson and asked her how she spent her days on earth, and to my surprise she answered "in bed." You see, she was a night-club hos-

tess.

Suddenly it begins to grow dark, and I can just see Mildred Rose, who reports

that her life had been devoted to the interests of international affairs. "All things must have an end" and so did my dream with the sound of the Chapel Bell.

Hast Mill anb Testament OF The Commercial Senior Class

County of Fun 1 To all who have any time State of Madness to spare and will listen J

Having reached the climax of our most impressive careers as students of the State

Teachers College at Salem, Massachusetts, we feel it only fitting and just to future classes, not so gifted as ours, to bequeath certain of our most valuable and unique possessions to aforementioned classes. With this most generous thought in mind, we do make and declare this to be our last will and testament, containing the following provisions

Fran Altieri leaves to whosoever dares to use it, her famous wink which plainly

says "Maybe I didn't give the answer you wanted but this one is fully as good or better." This requires hours and hours of practice with waves of hand at stated inter- vals. Sophie Baranowski leaves her unusual record of never having missed a day in her four years at this institution. Dubs (otherwise known as Alice Anna Mary Kiember—my, what a long name for a small person) leaves her knack of making dramatic entrances. In other words, her

ability to come to each and every class late, and get away with it. Wouldn't advise vou to try this stunt as you haven't Bubs' capacity for looking innocent nor her eyes. No one has. Anne Chaisson leaves to Eleanor Sargent her theory of "The Power of Silence in

Classrooms." You know "still waters run deep," but figure it out for yourself. Israel Cohen leaves to some adventurous Junior his ability to "take and carry on"

Education, Foreign Trade classes, etc. "They laughed when I stood up at the desk, and when I started to teach —they kept right on laughing." Dot Ernst leaves her ability to entertain. 'Member Gloucester and "house- parties"? Any connection between the two words? Nuf sed! Rov Goren leaves her ability to wallop a ball to Peg Gates. (Conversation before a gym class): "Oh, Roy, are you on the other team?" If so, then the team where she wasn't just lay down and died. Helen Henderson leaves her ability to climb up and down ladders without hesi- tating. Mary Patricia leaves her oratorical skill in sociology classes. She should also leave her good-nature and happy frame of mind 'cause who ever heard of a good- natured school teacher? Betty Goldman bequeaths her charming smile to a Junior for use solely in Mr. Sproul's classes.

1932 s. r. c.

Mary Horrigan leaves her ability as a business manager. She might as well leave

it because no one ever believes a woman has business ability, but Mary has. Marion Macdonald leaves her ability to talk intelligently and knowingly on any subject. Mv, what a good president of the Cooperative Council she makes! Mamie Russin leaves her questioning attitude which was a life-saver when no one really was prepared (which, sad to say, was often —not intentionally side-tracking the beloved teachers, but you understand). Kay Santamaria leaves her unusual ability to get homework done in advance to some Junior, on the condition that said Junior be as good-natured about handing it out to someone else as she.

Roland Muniz bequeaths to any one who needs it (preferably someone as timid as he used to be) his oratorical skill. Kay Connelly leaves her absolutely astounding skill in Old English lettering.

Might as well leave it, because if the text book on said subject is ever lost no one will ever be able to read it.

Helen Donahue leaves with a sigh of relief. She also leaves her position as Class Treasurer with the hope that the Business Depression will be ended, and that nobody will be able to think of another excuse to hang on to his shekels. To the underclassmen we leave gratis the following particularly valuable ideas, ideals and interests from the teachers:

From Mr. Sproul: The conviction that the world does not possess perfect teachers (except the Commercial Senior graduating class of 1932) AHEM!

From Mr. Phillips:

A filing system in which you file papers, books, and "what have you," away with the absolute guarantee that they will never be found again.

From all the Remainder of our Faculty: The conclusion that we don't know anything, we never did know anything,

and we never will (pardon, shall) know anything, so what about it? You'll all be told the same!

In witness whereof we have hereunto set our honest pledge of full remittance when bequests are called for. In the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and thirty-two.

Commercial Pernors Class J^ropfjecp

1942—The management of the National Pictorial News added a very important and brilliant reporter to its staff. And did this reporter get the news!! On this particular day she was greeted by the order to "cover the proceedings in the Probate Court." This bespoke a ride in the crowded subway and mercilesspushingby fellow passengers, but the "You can telephone vour report in, and take the afternoon off" brought a smile to her lips, and a limberness in her step which had hitherto been missing, as she departed to carry out the assignment. The court was not in session when she arrived, so she spent the intervening time in glancing around the courtroom at her neighbors. Suddenly her glance became transfixed upon a person whose head was bent over a notebook in which she was busilv writing. It can't be! But then, why not?

It is. It's Frances Altieri in person. Although Frances modestly denies it, our

friend rightly assumes that the S. T. C. speed demon is now top-notch in her profession as court stenographer. We do not wonder that she has received letters from various manufacturers of Pep offering her large amounts in exchange for her endorsement of their products.

The time for greeting is cut short by the entrance of the judge but Frances slips a letter from Sophie into the eager hands of her accoster. Sophie writes from India

where she is making a survey of Gandhi's native land so that she may write her thesis on Native Tendencies for her course at the University of Oshkosh. This particular pas- sage caught my eye:

"I thought I was immune from shock, but I am still under the effect of the one I received when Anne Chaisson rushed up to me this morning. She was married last

month in the States and came over immediately with her husband, who is the most popular officer stationed here. How we chatted, and what she didn't tell me! "Anne sailed on the same boat with Israel Cohen. Alwavs mathematically inclined,

he is now certain that by putting into effect certain specifications, he can straighten

the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Whether the authorities will permit him to do so is another thing."

The letter had to be laid aside until court adjourned. Then the two friends left together to visit Mary Conlev in her penthouse apartment, which was the very essence

of luxury. Mary had struck it lucky in the market and was now living on the interest from her money. Where you find one, you'll find the other and so the surprise was not great when Kay Connelly emerged from the living room where she had been fitting on a gown to wear to the inaugural ball, which she was to lead as the wife of the Governor. The pair had lost none of their appreciative humor.

ecessors; as a 1932 s. r. c.

On the piano stood a large framed picture of Helen Donahue, the greatest Ameri-

can opera singer of the century. Helen had given it to Mary on the eve of her sailing

for a year's tour of Europe. Frances commented on the fine work of the photographer, but Mary sprung the grand surprise. "Dot Ernst did that. She has the largest studio in New York, and caters only to the most select patronage. She was in here last night and left three tickets for the initial presentation of the new play at the Palace. Would you like to go?" They would, and so the three left the apartment to see the new Broadway produc-

tion, Hearts Afire. The leading lady was Elizabeth Goldman, whose remarkable talent in acting had always amazed them when you consider how quiet Betty used to be. Betty acted her part with rare inspiration. There was a decided rush backstage after the performance, and when the colleagues finally were admitted to her dressing room, they found her closeted with Rose Goren. Roy was exhibiting the cup which the Prince of Wales had presented her in appreciation of her remarkable talent at steeple jumping. Helen Henderson, now the wife of an English nobleman, had been present at the ceremony. Helen had retained all of her noted charm, and was now given an opportunity to display her personality and aristocratic character. Roy said that Mary Horrigan was now in England as Helen's guest, and that Ramsay MacDonald was trying to persuade her to accept a position as his secretary. It was rumored, however, that Mary had other intentions which were not along the line of a business career. Later in the evening, after the friends had returned from the theatre and were sitting quietly talking in the apartment, they heard a loud whirring, and a plane swooped down to the landing place which Mary had built on the roof. "If Christmas wasn't over, I'd say that was St. Nicholas," Mary jested.

But it was as good as a Christmas present when Alice Kiember walked in. Bubs did not grace the teaching profession long, but is now engaged in running an aviation school with her husband. She is president of the Women's Flying Club, and was still clad in her office uniform of pilot's garments when she made her unexpected appearance. Everyone began talking at once, and the babble of voices ceased only when Bubbles announced,

"I don't want to miss the program tonight, and I know you won't when I tell you that Dorothea Lucia, now hostess at the finest resort hotel in New Hampshire is scheduled to give a lecture on Why the Country Is Preferable to the G>y."Theyturnediton quickly, but they were late, for she was rendering her conclusion with great show of emotional feeling. "I could almost see her nod her head then," Kay stated, but she was motioned to be quiet by the others who were still listening. The National Broadcasting Company will now present Miss Marion Macdonald will who render a series of piano selections. Miss Macdonald's fame as a pianist is rapidly rivalling that of Paderewski. " They listened spellbound as Marion surpassed

in excellency the playing which even in Teachers College had been accorded outstanding recognition.

"Do you know I just recalled an amusing article I read in a current magazine? It was written by R. Muniz, demonstrator for the Birdseye Products," Mary spoke up. "Musty claimed that the way to cure your wife of serving canned foods was to throw away all the can openers in the house, and lay in a supply of Birdseye frosted foods.

It was so like Musty that I mailed the article to Evelyn Murphy to see what her retort would be. "Evelyn, now editor-in-chief of The Debater's Magazine, placed the matter before the attention of her subscribers, and because the article claimed that no modern woman knew how to cook correctly, Musty has had to withdraw from society until the bevy of outraged women have forgotten." Among those who rose to the defense was Kay Powers, who, even from the in- terior of Spain where she is studying Spanish, read the article and replied very heat- edly. Further discussion was cut short bv the party's decision to inspect Bubbles' air- plane, before her departure. A feature calling for attention was the automatic horn invented by Mildred Rose. It was for use at night, and automatically heralded the approach of another plane. Mildred had received her idea from personal contact with a French horn while on a house-party in Gloucester.

That horn was sold me even before Mamie Russin, Mildred's promotor, took it apart, showed me how it worked, and why, and used every art of salesmanship known to the trade in bringing about the close of the sale. "This contrivance would make a good write-up for your paper, Kay. Come and

I'll give you a demonstration before I drop you at your hotel," Bubbles tendered the invitation to Kay Santamaria, who was none other than our earlier acquaintance, reporter on the National Pictorial Revieiv. Kay, always on the alert for news material, settled herself in the plane, and the two made their take-off to the tune of "I'm Flying High" sung by Kay, Mary, and Fran, who were left standing alone on the roof.

PMstorp of tfje Junior iMgfj Class* of 1932

Hailing from Lynn, Salem, Beverly, Boston, and points north, south, and west,

fifty young women and five men entered State Teachers College in September 1929, to follow the Junior High School teaching course. Radiant with the confidence and ambition of recent high school seniors, they were somewhat overawed by the august gath- ering of upperclassmen and faculty at chapel that first morning, but were happily reassured and inspired by Dr. Pitman's welcome to the profession. In the days, or daze, which followed rapidly, this motley crowd was dulv divided and dubbed Freshman IV and Freshman V, examined physically and mentally, and relegated with the rest of the incoming "herd" to the lower regions or, more specifi- cally, to the freshman locker room. From that locale for the next few months, there were heard little more than giggles, screams and groans (the latter, particularly about November 10 and January 26). Fearing that the Junior High Freshmen were becoming acclimated too soon, the Junior High Seniors held an initiation and took their "little sisters" on a memorable ghost walk which featured some extra lively ghosts. However, the now well-acquainted freshmen clung to each other and were undismayed.

By the end of the first semester the Junior High Freshmen were admirably filling their places in State Teachers College. They were exhibiting remarkable prowess in sports, presenting interesting chapel programs, not getting too many libiary slips, and holding their own in story-telling at the training school. Moreover, under the chastening influence of Miss Lyons they were fast becoming "cultured." They were even venturing timid "Good mornings" to the facultv. The second semester passed quickly, though the days often seemed interminable and the homework impossible. The final freshman activity of this Junior High Class was the puppet show put on

by Freshman IV. With its presentation, the seniors at last realized that the dolls and cardboard camels which those freshmen had been carrving around for weeks, were not their toys but part of a literature activity.

Sophomore Year

\\ hen Freshman IV and V returned to State Teachers College in September, 1930, their members found that they had been elevated to the upperclass locker rooms, and their sections redivided and renamed. Thenceforth, they were to be called Sophomore

I and II and as such they proceeded to have a most pleasant and busy year. Since the school routine was an old story to them, they soon settled down with added dignity to direct their freshman successors about the normal school and to carry on their sophomore duties ably.

56 1932 S. T. C.

A large number of the group joined school clubs. Desire Goldsmith was chosen president of the Girl Scout Club, and several were elected to the Cooperative Council. W hen the council elections were held in the spring, Frances Carleton and William Foley were elected treasurer and vice-president respectively. That year also the Middle Class was organized, with the Junior High Sophomores lending loyal support to the movement. In addition, each division presented effective chapel programs. Sophomore

I based theiis on their penmanship projects. Sophomore II sponsored a second grade rhvthm band concert and a "skit" to improve S. T. C. conversation.

The sophomore year of this class glinted with highlights. The day that S. T. C. classes convened at Commonwealth Armory—Junior High Sophomores wandering through the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, fascinated to the point where sore feet and gnawing hunger were forgotten—lectures at Academy Hall —the gala Glee Club operetta—Edwin Markham's visit —and the same sophomores trudging toward Marblehead on a held trip via boulder, esker and ravine. Some of their class activities were as memorable!—the breathless watching of frail tulips and perverse hyacinths bloom or wilt —leading upperclass chorus —mem- orizing tvpes of rock —making decorations for the Commercial party—dissecting the frogs that expired in the goldfish bowl—movies in science—making important looking plans for the school garden—and spading and planting the same garden. However, the best part of their sophomore year was the training period. Never did they seem so much like full-fledged teachers as when they returned from the training school replete with anecdotes, experiences and ideas. The grand finale of the sophomore year was the pageant "Pipes of Pan" presented bv the Middle Class on Class Day. Mary McCarthy efficiently directed many of the dance numbers wr hile others of her classmates sang or danced with Pan. Thus, the second year of their teachers college careers was musically concluded.

Senior Year

In the fall of 1931, the Junior High Class returned to State Teachers College scarcely believing the time had arrived for them to take the lead in school affairs. However, they soon discovered their responsibilities and assumed them with a mien of maturity. With the Commercial Seniors, they sponsored one of the most enjoyable freshman receptions ever held at State Teachers College. Then they accorded the Junior High Freshmen an especial welcome. With those poor freshmen barred from the Assembly Half and waiting on the Seniors' table at lunch, the class of 1932 more than made up for the ghost walk of '29.

A senior's life is a busy one and the Junior High Seniors of 1932 found no excep- tions to this rule. When the senior class was organized, Marjorie Lemaire was elected president. Desire Goldsmith was elected to the vice-presidency, but later resigned the office to become editor-in-chief of the Year Book. Carolyn Dudley was elected president of the Glee Club and Mary Williams, secretary. Edward Murphy was elected

57 The Tear ^Book 1932

president of the M. A. A. and treasurer of the Camera Club, while John Donovan was chosen treasurer of the M. A. A. and secretary of the Camera Club. Ruth Simons was elected treasurer of the W. A. A. and Katherine Bernard, president of the International Relations Club. Each division of the Junior High Senior class contributed an attractive unit in the international goodwill programs. Senior I presented "The Contributions of the British Isles to American Music," while Senior II portrayed "The American Indian's Contribution to Our Complex American Life." Probably the most exciting activity of the first semester was the Boston Harbor trip led by Miss Ware. The wind blew and the bridge did not go up for an hour, but a "good time was had by all." Despite their exalted position, the seniors were often the cvnosure of underclassmen's wondering and irreverent eyes when they indulged in certain eccentricities. For instance, the week they roamed up and down Lafayette Street with little notebooks in hand. Consider, too, the time they furtively hovered about the staircases with strings, erasers, yardsticks, and protractors. In early December, practice-teaching periods began to break up the year. Seniors returned equipped with more anecdotes, much experience, and, at last, their "professional attitudes" deep rooted and fast. From then on, school days fairlv flew by for the Junior High Seniors. Proofs, pictures, class meetings, the Manchurian crisis, class pins, engagements, problems, Mr. Booth's lecture, projects, the Glee Club operetta, and the New York-Washington trip—with such was senior conversation permeated. The last two months of the school year found the seniors immersed in class work and plans for graduation. Class day and the senior reception came and went in rapid succession, grand affairs in themselves, with the Junior Highs in loveliest array. However, behind the gaiety of those festivities lurked a shadow of sadness, for parting was so near. Just as that merry crew had clung together loyally on that freshman ghost walk, so had they remained for three happy years, and were loath to part. Then their graduation march was struck up and they received their diplomas, keys to the teaching profession. Hurried farewells, promises to meet again—and the Junior

High Class of 1932 is of the State Teachers College Alumni. All happiness and success to them! Kay Bernard, '32

Junior Class WBiii

District Court of Lafayette

Hear ye, hear ye, NOBLE ONES TO COME AFTER US! We, the Junior High School Senior Class at the State Teachers College in the colony of Naumkeag, being in a normal frame of mind, are about to draw up our last will and testament in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred thirty-two.

To our most patient and understanding principal and teachers: We leave our sincerest thanks for their guidance along the high roads of learning and professional ideals. In order that we may rest with the assurance that

theirs is to be a continuing success at State Teachers College, we the Class of 1932 leave the results of our questioning mind and creative ability, to be used as controls in their future classes, in such tangible form as a chart, a graph, a map project and a survey.

To the Faculty:

To our class advisers, Miss Cruttenden and Miss Stone, we leave respectively, the exclusive rights to publish our comprehensive maps and surveys in one volume to be entitled A SOCIOLOGICAL SALEM AS CREATED BY STU- DENTS, and GRAPHIC EVIDENCE OF OUR ARITHMETICAL PRO- GRESSION FROM 1929-1932. To Miss Wallace: We can only repay, with a small can of dirt proof paint to be used to wipe out our well nigh indelible footprints. Our serious hope goes

with it that she may find the task too difficult. To Miss Rust: We leave the consolation that she made good "ducks" of us our sophomore year. To Miss Harris: A treasure chest filled with our creative attempts in black and white and sealed with a romantic touch.

To Miss Ware: (We "say it with maps") We bequeath provisions for a world tour made possible by assembling, around the geography room in a conical pro- jection, our maps. To Miss Goldsmith: We leave fruits of our labor and seeds of our genius to be dis- persed according to the Mendelian ratio among the future generations of nature study students. To Miss Bunton: We leave our progressive and original interpretations of the seven cardinal principles of education. To Miss Bell: The consolation that heavy footfalls do not always mark the approach of weighty brains. To Mr. Whitman: We bequeath our notebooks which we consider worthy con-

59 :

The Year Book 1932

tributions to the world of Science. Their distinguishing quality lies in their marvelous last minute efficiency. To Mr. Moody: An Adjustomatic schedule.

To the Sophomores

1. The coveted front rows in chapel.

2. The right to recover the traditional junior high table in the lunch room.

3. All of our projects and notebooks.

4. Mary McCarthy leaves her ability as an entertainer to those who wish to

claim it for themselves.

5. Sophie Kobos, Glory Hamilton, Ruth Simons, and Lucille Theriault leave their athletic prowess.

To the Freshmen:

We leave lots of persistence and determination to succeed where we failed. In testimony whereof we hereunto set our hand and seal this seventeenth day of June, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-two. In the presence of said witnesses we hereby declare this to be our last will and testament.

Signed,

The Junior High Class of 1932

Junior J|tst) Class iPropfjecp

I never did care for airplanes, except when I am on the ground looking up, but since Frances, —Frances Carleton, I mean—became a licensed pilot I've overcome my squeamishness to some extent and go flying once in a while. Yesterday that new law which Bill Foley has been trying to convince the legislature to pass for the last year, went into effect. From now on, a large illuminated name-plate must be placed on the roof of every house, with the tenant's name and address legibly printed on it. This is to lessen the annoyance caused by having your neighbor land his plane on your roof-top at night, when it's the house next door he is aiming for.

Frances was curious, and so was I, to see how the name plates looked from the sky, since they were Margaret Richardson's latest invention, before she and Theresa Paskowski left for Russia to help quell disturbances among sign painters there; —and so we went up last night! My dear, all the familiar names we saw! We began to talk about the names we caught sight of:—people whom we had known and of whom we had lost track, and as we gossiped, we flew on and on. Now, whenever people talk, I automatically begin to take notes —a Teachers College hang- over. And so, as the plane-motor hummed cheerily, the name-plates flickered famil-

60 1932 S. T. C.

iarly, and we chewed molasses candy and "the rag," I took sketchy notes, unwittingly for your information. Glance them over—perhaps you will recognize some of the names and wonder!

THE NOTES:

Nelda Spediacci, Vivian Poleschuck and I give free Lectures at the Boston Public Library on "What the well-dressed Indian will wear." Between lectures Jean Bick- ford's husband and Caroline Dudley sing sweet melodies to organ music; Jean smiles matronly smiles of satisfaction and passes the plate at intermissions. John Donovan boasts a dual personality: the strong principal in school and the hen-pecked husband at home; while Murphy has invented a robot that can say it with maps, make bar-graphs, and teach hygiene! Alice Powers and Ruth Herlihy have prefixed "Madame" to their respective names and for staggering sums, advise customers at their Beauty Salon how to acquire long eye lashes and hair long enough to wear braided in coronet style. And here's a

trade secret: the preparation they sell to perform these miracles is nothing but white vaseline in a fancy jar: sh-sh! Maty McCarthy does their advertising for them;—one of those "Before" and "After" posters that involves skillful photography—Mary's specialty. Katherine Carroll gives lengthy dissertations on Byron and Shelley—by appoint- ment only; Ada Callum and Margaret Boyle, owners of rival bus lines, are both kept

busy transporting the huge crowds to where Katherine Carroll is speaking. Rogers, Rogers, and Company have a dressmaking establishment with Lucille

Theriault as their fetching model. Sewing for unemployed teachers is their specialty! DiGiusto and Capone, the famous dancing team, come to them for costumes. Irma

does the coaching and Elsie the dancing, while Irene Bagnulo is their patient audience!

Louva Cogswell is head librarian at a school for the deaf; the children neither talk nor listen to her, and so she has taken to soliloquizing at odd moments of stress. Four of the books in the library have been written by local talent: viz. Why the Fifth

Dimension? by Betty Lamprey, The Value of Interests by Betty Blanchard, How My

Children Came to Be Athletes by Julia Pierce, Penmanship and I. Q.'s (Intelligent Quo- tients} by Eileen Coleman.

Willa Belknap is running a Finnish bathhouse and has engaged the services of prominent athletes as attendants. Eleanor Sullivan, Ruth Simons, Mim Linskey, and Gen Sherry lecture on the value of cold showers on the circulatory system, while the

patrons are having their steam baths. Sophie Kobos is the proud lifeguard at the house, and Stella Zylka faithfully follows her about with a pulmotot. Katherine Bernard has married a doctor. The practice she has had on the anatomy of puppets while in school, makes her of great assistance to her surgeon husband. Sometimes her views and those of her husband conflict; then thev call in Eleanor Aisner, the dental hvgienist next door, as referee.

4>\ The Year 'Book 1932

Glory Hamilton, Priscilla Peabody and Bessie Morse have devoted themselves to the Cause, the Cause being DIET. Glory is trying to gain weight and Bessie and Priscilla to lose; since their aims are at variance and they take turns at cooking, there is eternal strife in the kitchen. At times they call on Anne Gutman for recipes, but she is usually too busy with "Eppi" to be of much use to them. "Eppi," by the way, is short for Epaminondas, her fond offspring, who is always in trouble when there are pies about. Katherine Sweeney is "Eppi's" teacher; he is one of her problem children, although he is not hard to motivate. Next year is Miss Sweeney's sabbatical year and since her one weakness is history, she is planning to spend the year in China searching for the true cause of the Sino-Japanese War of 1932. While in China, she will probably visit a while with Mina Ready who is doing social service work among '"the heathen Chinese," and learning simultaneously to enjoy rice.

Desire Goldsmith is the president of one of our leading Women's colleges, and at odd moments expounds her theories on "Morning Exercises in the School." Her most recent innovation is a trained seal act which has met with strong opposition from

Marjorie LeMaiie, head of the Women's City Club in Boston. Miss LeMaire is extremely conservative and disapproves of anything that will disturb the even tenor of the sweet children's lives. Mary Maselli and Julia McNulty are participants in the cross county experiment which Marjorie Evans is conducting for one of the shoe firms in Lynn. They walk while she rides in the same distance—the object being to discover which wears better in the long run:—leather or rubber.

Mary Williams is the first whispering alto to make vitaphone records; one is given free at neighborhood drug stores with every pint bottle of cough syrup. Marv Toomey composes the words for Mary Williams' records at Gloucester-by-the-sea, and Nat Stanwood plays soft, sweet chords on the organ by the way of accompani- ment.

Dawn is creeping through the sky, pushing aside the blackness of night, and with the morning the flickering name-plates go out one by one. Our sight-seeing is over; we swerve sharply, and then start down, down, landing finally in a hushed, sleeping world. M. H.

The Tear "Book 1932

9ri?*&hmtng €s$aj> for 1932 IN RETROSPECT How unfortunate would we mortals be without that treasure chest called "Mem- ory," without the ability to take up old memories and to relive them with ail the pleasure and ecstacv of their origin. Tireless Mother Time sits with all our hours in her lap, and carefully sorts them. She chooses first for our treasury the perfect gems, warm, happy, flawless hours. There are glowing red jewels of home and friendship; iridescent gems of work and play; silvery turquoise gems of changing skies, restless waters, meditation and solitude; and shimmering white jewels of love and prayer. Then she takes up the dull rough jewels of pain and loneliness, strife and bitterness. She smooths their cutting points and softens their ugly smutty colors. A few she keeps, the rest she hides as best she can. We have now completed another step forward in life, our years at Teachers Col- lege. As we peer into our kaleidoscope of memory, what varied fleeting pictures we see: straggling lines of laughing girls marching upLafayette Street in the sunshine;the hustle, confusion and multitudinous noises in the locker rooms; the awful suspense of the zero hour just before marks are given out; the deafening din of voices in the lunch- room; the first awkward lesson in the training school; the inevitable stampede out of chorus; the lilacs in full bloom; sunning parties gossiping in the hall during spare period; dancing in the gym to the minor discords pounded out of the decrepit piano; the improvised curtains in the shower room; the green and blue of hot summer days and the shouts of lazy laughter that float up from the tennis courts on drowsy after- noons. So we could go on and on But deeper and more precious than these rather superficial memories are the big lessons learned both actually and vicariously, and the inspirations set up within us. Who will not remember the messages we received from such distinguished speakers as Edwin Markham, Lorado Taft and Edward Howard Griggs? Of equal importance are the daily inspirations we received in chapel. The hours we spent in the classroom, exchanging and developing old ideas, attaining new ideas are pleasant to remember. Especially in our last years when we talked to our faculty as teachers to teachers, our work was profitable and enjoyable. The experiences and anecdotes gained in our practice teaching we shall want to retain as long as we can. Then too, our teaching was invaluable in that it showed us not only how much more we need to know, but how much more we need to be, if we are to do justice to the children, those eager impres- sionable individuals whose lives we are to have in our trust.

All these and more are our memories to treasure; now it is our task to make them more than memories; to weigh them; to apply them to our lives; to make them a basis for our goals. Because of them we should lead better lives, be better teachers, and so be assets to our fellow men. Frances Carleton

Clementarp Class history

We, the incoming Freshmen in twenty-nine were a brave and beautiful group Gaily, on that bright September morning we slid into the squeaky chairs of the assembly hall to listen to our honored Dr. Pitman. His was a friendly welcome and we were at ease immediately. Forbidding looking seniors however, put us properly in our places bv their patronizing airs. We chose not to notice them, consequently went about amusing ourselves in our own inimitable manner. The suave seniors noticed our perfect non- chalance and hurriedly decided that we were worth knowing after all. Thev banded together and entertained us with a most magnificent "tea" (?) and entertainment. Weeks rolled merrily along and we blissfully rolled with them utterly unprepared for the impending tragedy hovering over us.

Marks were upon us. The group that once was the life of the school was thrown into the deepest dungeon of despair. We lost weight (hooray). Dark circles, sunken eyes, woe-begone expressions all gave silent testimony to the ravages of that stark villain. It is darkest before dawn, however, and most of us pulled through, but it was a long hard battle. The Glee Club gave a profitable concert jointly with the Harvard Musical Club.

It proved enjoyable to all and we hear that one young man was enraptured with one of our most vivacious blondes. Still is, as a matter of fact, so all was not in vain.

During our freshman year, the men also felt it their dutv to make us admire them. They gave a dance which was well attended by us. The seniors, however, were conspicu- ous by their absence. Perhaps they learned by experience, who knows? In due time June was upon us and with it graduation. Although, we hated to admit it, we felt sorry to see the seniors go. Some of them were really quite nice!

ENTER SOPHOMORES

Such a racket! We, a more brave and beautiful group, were back again to give State Teachers College something to be proud of. It was such a feeling not having to go into the cellar to reach our lockers that we let out our (exuberant) emotions in a babble of high-pitched voices. It was our turn to appraise the incoming freshmen and we certainly made the most of it. During the vacation we outwardly gained a reserve of manner that might have astounded any one. No wonder we put the seniors to shame. Much the same order of events took place and we enjoyed ourselves as usual. This year the Glee Club gave an operetta that was beautiful as well as entertaining. We had no idea that our men were so versatile. The world is full of surprises, is it not?

This most estimable club gave its joint concert with Tufts College Glee Club, and again many hearts beat faster.

91 The Tear ^Book 1932

Marks again took a few from our midst and scared many another. We were also informed that our class of 1932 was to give the pageant and with that announcement its success was assured. It was during our sophomore year that we first met with the intricate details of "training." We felt, truly, like teachers then. Obviously, the supervisors did not think we were quite finished as yet for marks were despairinglv low. Graduation day dawned and the parting of many friends lent an air of sadness to

the scene. The seniors did themselves proud and were their most charming selves. It was not pleasant to see them leave.

ENTER SENIORS

We, the bravest and most beautiful group of seniors ever to grace the halls of Salem once more settled down to work. Little time was spent in criticizing the freshmen for we had not the time nor desire to notice them. Six-week training periods were alloted us and work was our only alternative so you see we had no time for fun. We did manage to attend the "tea" given by the

sophomores for we realized that it needed our presence to be a distinguished affair. The most severe blow we had to take was the loss of Miss Lyons, our highlv respected English teacher. No one will quite be able to fill her place. We hope that she thinks of our fair group occasionally.

For the first time the elementary seniors' initiation party was given to the elementary freshmen. They attended en masse much to their delight, for as usual our party was a success. Toward the middle of the year Miss Wallace introduced us to the showers, and from then on we were later than ever for following classes. Sometime, when you are out for a thrill you might try our showers. (First a luke warm spray, then a blistering degree, and finally freezing.) All very nice for our tender skins. Pneumonia is just a baby's disease now. Again the Glee Club showed its versatility by given a "Pop Concert," an operetta and its annual concert— all eminent successes. That persistant foe—Marks! again tried to phase us but to no avail. We had learned its bad habits and promptly overpowered its horrors by our splendid work.

June now is not far away. The struggle is almost over. For all our groaning and complaining we are a bit reluctant to bid our school days farewell. Many of us will see each other for the last time; never will we be the carefree school girls as before. With set faces we must meet the future which is none too bright. It is our hope that we may always profit bv all that our Alma Mater has given us. Our pleasantest days are over and we must take our given places in the world and work long and dutifully at every task for the betterment of all. Life is like that— and we pray that we shall not fail. With hope we say "Auf Wiedersehen" '32

Hear ye, hear ye, we, the Elementary Class of 1932 of that renowned institution of learning, State Teachers College, Salem, Massachusetts, being as sound in mind and in body as can be expected under the circumstances, do hereby declare this our last will and testament.

1 . To Dr. Pitman we leave a fifty-two hour day so that he may be able to attend to all his activities.

2. To the school, a set of guaranteed readable hymn numbers so that all that attend chapel may be sure to sing the same hymn.

3. To the Cooperative Council, our sincerest wishes for chapel silence.

4. To the candy counter, a bit of valuable advice: "Keep well supplied with Hershey bars."

5- To Bertha, an adding machine so that more rapid service may be obtained at the lunch counter.

6. To the men of the school, a milk counter so that they shall no more endanger their health by making daily trips to the Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company.

7. To the classrooms, well upholstered seats, so that more comfortable naps may be enjoyed by the student body. 8. To Miss Wallace, our gym ties as a relic of the depression.

9. To Miss Harris, a "check-mark" stamp so that correcting literary efforts will not prove so tedious. 10. To Miss Bell, an automatic "shusher." " 11. To Miss Goldsmith, the assurance that we "died trying. 12. To Mr. Rockwell, a half dozen desks located at various convenient places in

the room so that it will save him the trouble of moving his single desk back and forth. 13- To Miss Ware, a gold engraved map of Aroostook Countv. 14. To Mr. Woods, a self-recording attendance book to save him the trouble of marking most of the seniors absent. 15- To Miss Stone, the honor of being the only one who made us count our pennies. 16. To Miss Fitzhugh, a copy of the elementary senior class history without

which no History of Civilization is complete. 17. To Miss Perry, the assurance that this elementary senior class will do its utmost to secure from the state more funds with which to buy art materials.

Individually, the Elementary Seniors leave the following:

1. Violette Wendell leaves her Oxford diction to any sophisticated sophomore who would like to gain a little dignity.

93 '

The Year l^ook 1932

2. To one who has not enough of this quality, Janet LeBoeuf leaves impishness.

3. Helen Houlihan leaves her burden of troubles to a carefree soul.

4. Fannie Freedman bequeathes her rabbit's foot and horseshoe to a supersti- tious underclassman.

5. Since our instructors tell us that a superior student asks intelligent questions, Agnes Barry bestows her supply to any sophomore who falls short of this mark.

6. May Conway leaves her "mighty right'* to any feeble freshman who aspires to greater athletic ability.

7. Does any underclassman wonder how seniors reach chorus so exactly on time? Just ask Irene Polansky and Thelma Jacobson. They will not hesitate to leave you a copy of their booklet "Better Never Than Late" which will prove very helpful to tardy people.

8. Eva Levitt very graciously gives her secret formula for keeping that school

girl complexion to anyone desirous of it. If you can't find "Shrimpie" to obtain this formula, just look behind the pencil sharpener.

9. We notice many of our undergraduates walking around the building with

long faces. It is no wonder. They are thinking of next year when there will be no Lucy Towne to do the school art work for them. However, we advise them to speak to Miss Towne. She will be more than happy to leave them a bit of helpful advice.

10. We hear that the state is going to cut down on all expenses next year. To relieve the situation, Dorothy Voorhees, Mary Connolly, and Florence Fin- gold leave locks of their titian hair to be used in place of electric lights.

11 . Elisabeth Burke leaves her famous fountain pen to one who will take solemn

oath to cherish it and keep it in the perfect condition to which it is ac- customed. 12. Eleanor O'Donnell grants to the sophomores her secret of how to be well dressed. "A self-addressed stamped envelope will procure for you the desired information. ' 13- MacKinnon twins thoughtfully leave behind them the headaches they caused all those who tried to tell them apart. In testimony whereof, we hereunto set our weary hand and noble seal, this six- teenth day of June in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred thirty-two. In the presence of said witnesses, we do declare this our last will and testament. May we rest in peace. Signed bv: H. H.

& draper for Eeacfjersi by Glenn Frank

O Lord of Learning and of Learners, we are at best but blunderers in this Godlike business of teaching. Our shortcomings shame us, for we are not alone in paying the penalty for them; they have a sorry immortality in the maimed minds of those whom we, in our blundering, mislead. We have been content to be merchants of dead yes- terdays, when we should have been guides into unborn tomorrows. We have put con- formity to old customs above curiosity about new ideas. We have thought more about our subject than about our object. We have been peddlers of petty accuracies, when we should have been priests and prophets of abundant living. We have schooled out-

students to be clever competitors in the world as it is, when we should have been help-

ing them to become creative co-operators in the making of the world as it is to be. We have regarded our schools as training camps for existing society to the exclusion of making them working models of an evolving society. We have counted knowledge more precious than wisdom. We have tried to teach our students what to think instead

of how to think. We have thought it our business to furnish the minds of our students, when we should have been laboring to free their minds. And we confess that we have

fallen into these sins of the schoolroom because it has been the easiest way. It has been

easier to tell our students about the motionless past that we can learn once for all than to join with them in trying to understand the moving present that must be studied

afresh each morning. From these sins of sloth may we be freed. May we realize that it

is important to know the past only that we may live wisely in the present. Help us to be more interested in stimulating the builders of modern cathedrals than in retailing to students the glories of ancient temples. Give us to see that a student's memory should be a tool as well as a treasure chest. Help us to say "do" oftener than we say "don't." May we so awaken interest that discipline will be less and less necessary. Help us to realize that, in the deepest sense, we cannot teach anybody anything; that the best we can do is to help them to learn for themselves. Save us from the blight of specialism; give us a reverence for our materials, that we may master the facts of our particular fields, but help us to see that all facts are dead until they are related to the rest of knowledge and to the rest of life. May we know how to "relate the coal scuttle

' to the universe. ' Help us to see that education is, after all, but the adventure of trying to make ourselves at home in the modern world. May we be shepherds of the spirit as well as masters of the mind. Give us, O Lord of Learners, a sense of the divinity our undertaking.

Special Cbucatton J^isitorp

In the summer of 1931 thirteen persons unknown to e;ich other had strangely similar thoughts. Each one was reading school catalogues and asking the advice of friends. Each was planning how she would spend the next school year. Special Educa- tion work sounded most interesting, hut one has to be sure. The catalog mentioned brush-making, cooking, woodwork, and other unusual things. Psychology and met hods were also listed but they were expected. Those who had been to State Teach- ers College before were recalling the instructors and their reputations, knowing full well that good instructors often make a course.

September 16, eight persons assembled in Miss Hoff's room willing to try their fortunes m new work. We were delighted to learn that we had a home room of our own. Probably this, coupled with our fewness of numbers, was a big factor in achiev-

ing a strong class unity in a short time. At the end of the second week the little group of eight had become thirteen.

Our first noteworthy event as a class took place the day Essex County held its teachers' convention in Boston. We volunteered to forego the pleasure of a holiday in order that we might accompany Miss Hoff to the convention. In the afternoon we visited the WEEI broadcasting studio. This visit gave us the basic idea for our Thanks- giving chapel program. The scene was laid in a broadcasting studio. It was then that we discovered Marjorie Johnson's skill as an announcer and Grace Kennedy's deep musical voice.

Our first visit to a special class center was at Lynn. We came back with a clearer

idea of the work which is expected of us and a firm resolve to live up to our higher standards. December 18 may be just another day to some people, but to the Special Education class of 1932 it meant another dav of seeing theory in action. We visited the Salem center.

January 8 is another outstanding date for us. That day institutional life ceased to be theory and took on a new and definite meaning at the Fernald State School for the Feeble-minded. January 25 was perhaps the most important date in our history for that date marked the first day of our practice teaching. Now at last we could put into practice methods carefully studied. Training over, we returned to exchange experiences and to pool our new knowledge. Though small, we have not been without personages of importance. Ursula Cairns has served the school well as editor of The Log. We are proud to name Rose Messinger, president of the Women's Athletic Association, as one of us. Marjorie

Johnson, secretary of the senior class, is also of our group.

Historv is the chronicle of the past and present. The future? Perhaps our class prophet knows. 113 The Year 'Book 1932

Hast Will anb Testament

OF THE

Special Education Class, Salem, Massachusetts

County, Essex 1 To those who would benefit State of Massachusetts these words of wisdom J by

Know ye that we, the Special Education Class of 1932, having been tested by Miss Walker, and found to be of sound mind, do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament.

Jointly and collectively do we the Special "Eders" bequeath the following:

1. To Miss Hoff, an eye shade and an accordion pleated screen which can be easily regulated upwards as well as sideways.

2. To Miss Walker, a half a barrel of convenient sized pill boxes, weighing not more than three grams, to be distributed to next year's class for use in testing.

3. To Mr. Little, two saws, rip and cross-cut, well labeled and with large enough teeth to be conveniently seen from any corner of the room.

4. To Miss Adams, a group of highly domesticated girls who can sew, knit, crochet, cook, tat, darn, and embroider equally as well with one hand as with the other.

5- To Miss Perry, a set of directions for making the braided border, framed, and chained in a convenient place on the wall of her "spare room."

6. To Mr. Whitman, a written explanation, in two-inch type, of what the large

silver ball, suspended from the ceiling of the lecture room, is used for.

7- To Miss Rust, enough girls so that she can teach the class to play basketball without having to play center, right guard, and left forward for the opposing side.

The intent of the individual testators is herewith disclosed:

1. Maude Lemaire bequeaths her capacity for getting A in psychology to anyone who will accept the responsibility of actually reading Hollingworth from cover to cover at least one week in advance of the quarterly test.

2. Hazel Fowler, due to her excess energy, leaves her right to take the opposing

side in any argument to the girl who will use this privilege only when it is necessary to take up class time.

3. Mar jorie Johnson bequeaths her ability to carry four glasses of water in one hand, her Indian warwhoop, her imitation of a barking dog, and her willing-

ness to fill up the gaps in conversation by relating her week-end experiences with P— to any student who can successfully manage such talents without losing the interest of her audience.

114 1932 s. r. c.

4. Marion Lund confers the sole right of regulating the showers on Friday morning, second period, to any girl who will conscientiously remember that

"parboiling" the recipients first will always bring the best results.

5. Catherine Duffy leaves the first seat in the famed circle arrangement of desks

to any person who does not mind being called on to recite first.

6. Rose Messinger bequeaths a Chrysler roadster, built to hold from 15 to 24 students plus their reading and arithmetic devices, to some worthy student who will faithfully perform the following duties: (1) Meet the 8:20 train from Boston every morning. (2) Arrange to make the 4:35 for Boston every afternoon with at least one-half minute to spare.

7- Grace Kennedy will relinquish to any underclassman worthy enough to

merit it, the privilege of being "Ma" Condor's star boarder, along withsuch other privileges as that responsibility will entail.

8. Ruth Schofield solemnly bequeaths her "poker face" to anyone who can successfully manipulate the aforesaid without undue injury to her fellow companions. She requests that this skill be used only in the case of dire necessity, such as on the trains from Boston to Somerville and then only for the purpose of entertainment.

9. Laura Falvey leaves her 25 parking tags to the person who occupies the coveted space under the trees. These in addition to those which the recipient will evidently collect are to be bound and presented to the janitor as a sou- venir of his untiring efforts.

10. Aloyse Meade confers to anv boarding student her list of "Perfect Excuses for Such Occasions as Will Be Found Necessary to Make Boarding Life Com-

plete." A request is made that because of their slight shopwornness they be handled with care. 11. Ursula Cairns bequeaths her special sprinting ability to be used chiefly between periods for the purpose of securing refreshments. 12. Bertha Sykes leaves her ever filled notebook to anyone who can successfullv translate the handwriting and abbreviations into readable terms. 13- Frances Curry grants to any ex-graduate returning to take up special work

the sole right to reminisce about the "good old days when I went to normal school." In testimony whereof, we do set our hands and seal this seventeenth day of June in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and thirty-two.

Signed,

"The Specials" Witness: Hollingworth Terman Morgan

The Yea?' 'Book 1932

Special Class $ropf)ecp

There is sometimes a deserving pleasure in having vour every thought present

confusion, unrest, 2nd curicsitv. You understand what I mean? Oh! You want an

illustration ! Shall I never be so situated that an illustration is an inadequacy? Prohahlv not, so here you are. Contrary to your expectations of a fireplace, mine, one night, (with the help of that extremely convolutionized bit of mechanism—my brain) became so haunted with faces, figures and mystery that the mere idea of calm reverv was an absurdity. Dis- satisfaction prevailed—the sort of displeasure that comes through curiosity. It became a strong enough discontent to place me at mv desk writing a letter—a despicable task. Three months later—March 19, 1942 to be exact —an unusual quietude pervaded mv library, for "as ye sow so shall ye reap." No more need my fireplace continue its

tantalizing moods; no more need I feel that flames meant "who knows?". For my "round robin" letter had found its way from Amesbury to Calcutta and back again.

From Ruth Schofield to whom I had originally written I gleaned no startling

information for I already knew of her apt vocation. She however, during the course of her lengthy letter, disclosed the following:

"My tour of vaudeville with Edna May Oliver has not been all that was expected. It seems that the public favors my delightful personality to hers. While in New York, I was necessarily escorted to and from performances by Mahatma Gandhi —my only means of avoiding publicity." W its' laurels seem to have fallen on our Ruth. She relayed the large envelope to Ursula Cairns who imparted this knowledge.

"Editing the Dirt is great! We manage to get more scandal and blah than that person who was so popular a few years ago on the radio. What was his name—Wallie Witchell?—something like that. Miss Porter is fine and we still keep tabs on each other—at least as well as we ever did." Not alarming, but interesting, isn't it? From Alovse Meade in Wyoming, who

was the next recipient, I was surprised to hear

' 'Teaching my Special Class children is perfect and I shall never give up mv career.

At last having found myself in my work, I am happy." This confession was too good to keep out of my story. Marion Lund whose present abode is Roseville questions "W hen Aloyse spoke about Special Class teaching did she mean that work which we took up at S. T. C. in 1931-32? Of course my marriage in the summer of '32 put

everything else on a secondary basis and some of it fell so far behind as to be almost completely forgotten."

116 1932 s. r. c.

The now bulging package was next sent to Grace Kennedy. By the way have you seen her advertisement for "Blinx"? We always knew that those eyes were for more than a few people in the world to gaze into. A few brief statements were all that this business woman had time to contribute. Away to Calcutta for Hazel Fowler's inevitable bit of interest went the letters. Hazel has been wasting away and has desperately tried to regain her buxomness. She was able to pen this to us.

"If you don't believe that missionary work is a good reducing stunt, try it yourself. I'd rather be the leader of a radical party." A good decision Miss Fowler. After all, if you don't take care of yourself no one else will. It was forunate that Hazel knew where to get in touch with Rose Messinger.

Few people are able to keep tabs on this sprite. Here is her disclosure:

"It is really remarkable how one broadens with travel. Since I've had my tonsils out mv experiences have been too numerous to relate. Probably my most fascinating bit of adventure came in St. Moritz, Switzerland. I hope you will all, one day, have your every moment as closely observed as I had during my exhibition of skating in that beautiful spot."

Fame continues to pursue our Rose—a fame which must soon realize that age is a factor to be considered in sports. Perhaps eternal youth is to be Rose's possession.

Now why Laura Falvey is blessed with the spirit of martyrdom I don't know; still it is a fact. Marjorie Johnson has become a successful aviatrix. She did a fancy tailspin and landed on the roof of the newly erected home of Mrs. —or Laura Falvey as you know her. Frances Currv has at last become a domestic science teacher in a special class center. Her fame is due to using Miss Adam's notebook as a Bible.

Maud LeMaire is now holding forth in place of Miss Hoff at Salem. She tells me that Bertha Sykes is following her chosen profession and doing nicely. She also mentioned Dr. Duffy who is none other than our bashful Catherine. Perhaps another ten years will bring even more eventful tales. Until then let us hope "round Robin" continues his endless journey.

Cooperative Council

The Cooperative Council began its work for the year 1931-32 with Miss Ware, Miss Perry, and Mr. Rockwell as faculty advisers and the following as officers: Presi- dent, Marion N. Macdonald; Vice-President, William Foley; Secretary, Margaret Gates; Treasurer, Frances Carleton; Chairman of Social Committee, Carolyn Dudley; Chairman of General Welfare Committee, Frances Altieri; Chairman of Chapel Com- mittee, Lucy Towne. Early in the fall a reception and tea was given to the freshmen. In cooperation with the W. A. A. weekly dancing classes and monthly teas have been held. In April, Virginia Joyce and Evelyn Tourville were sent to New York to represent State Teachers College at the annual Faculty-Student Conference. This year the Council amended its constitution to provide for representatives from the authorized clubs; worked on the matter of a blanket fee which will cover dues to specified organizations. The Cooperative Council has aimed to further chapel silence, neatness of the building, and the general welfare of the student body.

ftfje log

The Log is the "press representative" of State Teachers College, where it is one of the younger organizations, having made its first appearance in November, 1927.

It is through this medium that all club activity, lectures, and other scholastic events are recorded. Although the Log is produced by the staff, all students of the school are free to contribute any material they believe worthy of publication. Thus, through the Log s democratic stand on student writing, the paper has become a part of everyone's school life. This year the Log inaugurated its News Board. This board enables all students interested in newspaper work to write for the Log, with a view to becoming staff members next year. In this way, the Log will be able to choose its new staff from students experienced in student-publication writing. Also, Log subscriptions are to be included in the blanket fee, which is to go into effect next year. Through this plan the Log will receive the support of every student enrolled for the coming years. Thus the Log continues to forge ahead with growth and improvement.

The purpose of Trimu is to create fellowship among the boarding students bv means of social activities. This year, the club began its work in September with the largest membership in its history. The first social function, the Freshman Initiation, was in the form of a weenie roast at Ipswich. The business meetings, which are held once a month, are subordinate to the parties. A novel idea, introduced this year, of having a Man Dance instead of a Christmas party proved very successful. This year, two affairs have proved especially delightful: a costume party in November, and a Valentine party early in February. The Trimu members sold Christmas cards engraved with the S. N. S. seal in order to add money to the treasurv. The Trimu officers are: Miss Hoff, Faculty adviser; Helen Henderson, President; Hester Irving, Secretarv; and Evelyn Tourville, Treasurer.

The nature club offers its members opportunities to increase their knowledge of natural history, hours of entertainment, and the fellowship of others with mutual

interests. It has done much in the last year to live up to its reputation. Included in its manv field trips were visits to the Peabody Museum, Ropes Memorial greenhouse, Walke's greenhouses, and to Danvers' nature lanes. Two members represented the club at the meeting of the Northeastern Bird-Banding Association and the New England Federation of Bird Clubs in Boston.

According to its custom the entire membership spent one day in Boston, the morning being spent at the Museum of Natural History and the afternoon at the Arnold Arboretum. School activities of the club were nature pictures, a chapel program, and a social event. The John Burroughs Club of 1932 organized with a capable group of officers: President, Barbara Curtis; Vice-President, Theresa Linsenmeyer; Secretary, Elmer LeLacheur; Treasurer, Kathleen Scanlon; Executive Board, Mary Wells and Lorraine Keith.

#eograpf)i> Club

The Geography Club this year decided to survey the different foreign nationals in Massachusetts and to make a study of the occupations, recreations, and characteristics of these new-comers in order to find out what they are contributing to America. From the last census the club obtained the following information concerning the relative number of the different nationalities in this state: Ireland 158,734 Greece 16,780 Italy 126,103 Finland 13,077 Poland 71,442 Armenia 7,705 Portugal 24,840 France 6,026 Germany 20,538 Sweden 3,180

This list determined the national groups to be studied. The programs were illustrated by lantern slides, unique exhibits of rare laces and other hand-work, foreign language papers and magazines. Short talks were given by members of the club or by invited guests. From this study we have gained a greater appreciation of the contributions of the foreign-born citizens to Massachusetts. In addition to this we have become familiar with the customs and practices of different European countries, for example, types of food and special holiday ceremonies; however, the second generation of these nationals is almost completely Americanized with ideals, ambitions, and desires typically American.

#lee Club

The Girls' Glee Club of 1931-32 had a very successful season under the capable leadership of its officers: Carolyn Dudley, President; Mary Williams, Secretary; Doro- thy Voorhees, Treasurer; Irene Brooking, Librarian; and Marion Macdonald, Pianist. Mr. C. Francis Woods acted as adviser and conductor.

The Club made its initial appearance in December, when it sponsored a Pops Concert. Musical selections by the club, featured soloists, "pops" refreshments, and dancing were high-lights of this affair.

On April first an operetta, "Anita" was presented in the Teachers College Hall. The men of the school enacted the male roles. This event was acclaimed one of the most delightful and satisfactory of Teachers College activities. Plans were made for a joint concert with a men's college glee club. At this time both clubs enjoyed a banquet and dance together. Held in the latter part of May, this concert terminated the annual major undertakings of the club. These events, as well as the regular informal meetings, made the season 1931-32 a happy one for every Glee Club member.

grt Club

The Art Club organized late in November, and has spent a profitable year with a full program of activities.

One of the first meetings was devoted to making many kinds of decorative wrap- ping papers. These proved of great service before the Christmas holidays. Designs and masks and faces painted in poster colors by the members were displayed, and aroused favorable comment. Modeling in clay kept them busy and interested during one of the meetings. Cartoons and caricatures proved to be another entertaining source of amusement. Another feature of the program was the visits of the Club to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the Agassiz Museum at Harvard, and the Peabodv Museum in Salem. In Spring the sketching trips taken by the members were classed as delightful. The Chapel program, "America and Her Immigrants," presented bv the Club brought an effective climax to the many activities. Under the direction of Miss Perry, the faculty adviser, the Club had a most successful vear. The officers were: Edith Manuel, President; Helen Heifitz, Vice-President; Ger- trude Lewis, Treasurer; and Madeline Conroy, Secretary.

Camera Club

Members of the Camera Club take pictures of the various activities of the school such as chapel programs, plays, and gain experience by developing the negatives and printing the pictures. Enlarging and copving are some of the practices engaged in bv

beginners, and tinting is done by those more advanced. This work makes the Club very valuable to the School. The Club hopes to buy an enlarging machine this year. Through the showing of motion picture films, and the developing of pictures for the student body at reduced

rates, it is hoped that the money thus raised will be sufficient to satisfy the wishes of the organization. Mr. Whitman, the faculty adviser of the Club, has been untiring in his efforts to

aid the organization, and its success is mainly due to him. The officers of the Camera Club are as follows: President, Lucy Towne; Secretary, John Donovan; Treasurer, Edward Murphy.

#trl g>cout Club

The Girl Scout Club gives girls the opportunity of keeping in contact with Scouting without doing any formal Scout work. It has been the custom to send at least one girl to Camp Edith Macy, a leaders' training camp, every summer. Last summer Evelyn Oliver was able to attend. This year four girls attended a conference of Girl Scout College Clubs at Cedar Hill, Waltham. Next year this club will be in charge of the conference.

During the past year, it has held several teas. Miss Betty Johnson of the Wellesley College Scout Club was the Guest speaker at one. The faculty advisers are Miss Stone and Miss Bunton. The officers are as follows: President, Evelyn Oliver; secretary, Catherine Castle; treasurer, Evelyn Cooper.

The year just passed, 1931-32, has been a remarkable one in the history of the association. As in the past this organization has contributed to the fine ideals of good sportsmanship and fellowship of its members. The basketball team has attained a fair degree of success through the untiring efforts of Coach A. Macione, an alumnus of State Teachers College. The three major games of the season were with Gorham, Maine, January 1; Farmington, Maine, January 29; and Bridgewater, February 6. On these occasions a feeling of good will was promoted between State Teachers College and its opponents. While both social and athletic activities were necessarily limited, a measure of recreation was enjoyed and the health and fellowship of the members were promoted. The officers elected for this year's club were: President, Edward Murphy; Vice- President and Business Manager, Roland Muniz; Secretary, Hyman Gorodnitsky; and Treasurer, John Donovan.

The Mock "Man" Dance was a success. The good feeling, jollity and merriment of the occasion proved to the W. A. A., under whose auspices the party was held, that a social in which future school-marms may masquerade as handsome heroes is popular.

On March 11 thirty-five couples made merry. The "men" were models of what the well dressed men should wear at various hours of the day. There were handsome "sailors," "golfers," "business men," and "formal gentlemen." After grave con- sideration the judges awarded the honors of "best looking men" to Rose Messinger and Marion Conway. During the evening a short entertainment was given and refreshments were served. Judging by the comments of those who were "men" or their partners, the Mock "Man" Dance is worth repeating.

I can pass in any class But Lord, that 'rithmetic.

I can read good Latin, In geography I'm slick

I might even get all A's (?) If not for 'rithmetic.

And now I hate the Romans, Every one's a hick, Because their darn ancestors Invented 'rithmetic.

School and College Printers for over a Century Gregg Typing, Techniques and Projects

Rupert P. SoRelle and Harold II. Smith

For the first time, a typing text has been produced by technicians that pictures step by step how skill is acquired, and that furnishes interesting and scientific practice materials through which mastery is achieved.

Written by authors whose combined experience as teachers, as typing technicians and experts, and as authors is outstanding, it presents the newest and most worth-while developments in the science of teaching the subject.

Gregg Typing is direct, crystal clear in its procedures, and is not encumbered by pet theories or impossible objectives. From start to finish the student is led straight to the goal of expert performance "on the job."

The lessons are scientifically planned and accurately graded. They offer sufficient flexibility to insure easy application to a wide range of school conditions. Brief but con- cise instructions insure rapid progress from individual stroking through combination skills, word skills, straight-away matter, and applied typing projects.

The student is taught how to practice as well as what to practice. There is no sacrifice of resultful skill building for the sake of passing fads and unproved teaching theories. The exercises are constructed to achieve worth-while aims in terms of essential skills rather than to provide mere practice material or "busy" work.

Timed tests—both long and short —answer every purpose of the tests formerly distributed by the typewriter companies. Lessons of suitable length and difficulty organized into learning steps—conveniently arranged in budgets. Based on sound re- search and successful teaching experience. Gregg Typing makes typewriting easy to teach and easy to learn.

The five texts in the new Gregg Typing Series are:

GREGG TYPING, BOOK I List price. SI. 20 GREGG TYPING, COLLEGE COURSE Completes the entire cycle of typing theory and List price, $1.20 practice in 180 periods of intensive skill-building For use in private schools and institutions of exercises and practical projects. higher learning where a somewhat briefer treat- ment is desired.

A finishing course of 180 periods, containing a second cycle of applied typing skill on a higher level GREGG TYPING, INTENSIVE COURSE of accomplishment than the first cycle in Book I. (In Preparation) A highly intensified course for evening schools, GREGG TYPING, COMPLETE COURSE part-time continuation schools, and other short List price, SI. 50 courses.

Books I and II bound in one volume. Greatly appreciated by schools desiring an economical text for a complete typing course.
