It has been our pleasure this year to celebrate with Dr. Pitman, his twenty-fifth anniversary as principal of our school. Dr. Pitman received the congratulations of the faculty, alumni, student body, and employees of the school.

On January 7, Dr. Pitman was honored with a surprise dinner at Deer Cove Inn, Swampscott. The dinner was given by the men of the faculty, who wished to show their respect to the one who has been the head of the school for twenty-five years. Each teacher, in the order of his service at the school, gave an informal speech, congratulating Dr. Pitman on his achievements. The speeches were given in the following order: Mr. Whitman, Mr. Sproul, Mr. Little, Mr. Phillips, Mr. Moody, Mr. Rockwell, Mr. Woods and Dr. Pitman. Our principal was genuinely surprised, for he hardly realized that he had served Salem Normal School for twenty-five years. During the same week, the employees of the school presented Dr. Pitman with a basket of beautiful flowers. He was remembered by the faculty with a gift of books, "'American Statesmen" bv Edward Howard Griggs, and "Builders of the Bay Colony" by Morrison.

On the morning of February 3, the chapel program at Salem Normal School was in honor of Dr. Pitman's anniversary. Nearly two hours were given over to speeches, congratulations, and the presentation of gifts to Dr. Pitman, marking one of Salem Normal School's most memorable celebrations. On few occasions has the auditorium had such an atmosphere of mingled happi- ness, sadness, and reverence. The program was in charge of the cooperative council of the school, who were aided by the faculty and alumni association. After the regular devotional exercises, Madeline Murray, president of the council, gave an introductory speech in which she stated, "Dr. Pitman has helped our school to rank among the leading institutions in the state. Certainly it is fitting and proper that we should join with him in celebrating this anniversary, paving tribute to him for things that he has done for our school. We have with us members from the field of education who are happy to pay their respects to our principal." Miss Gertrude Goldsmith, head of the nature study department, spoke a few words for the faculty saying: "It would really be difficult to review Dr. Pitman's many achievements during these past 25 years. He has always shown his geniality, generosity, sympathy, readiness to help, and willingness to cooperate at any time. His outstanding characteristics are an appreciation of our attempt to do something better in our work and for the school as a whole, and his willingness to let us work out our ideas. It is very easy to discuss difficulties with Dr. Pitman. There is no red

tape surrounding his office or person. We are working with a friend rather than merely an overseer. I am happy to extend the congratulations of the faculty, and their best wishes for the future. Mr. George M. Bemis, superintendent of the Salem schools was introduced as the next speaker. He responded: "Never before have I had an opportunity to tell my opinion of the school. There are 113 members of our teaching force who are graduates of Salem Normal School and many present high school pupils are looking forward with real pleasure to coming to the normal school. I am happy on this pleasant occasion to say to you and to the members of the faculty that, in my opinion, you are doing remarkably good work. It has been my duty and privilege to work with many young women who have come to us from year to vear. Thev have come with the real attitude, real desire for professional work in the schools. Dr. Pitman has always taken a very active part in the civic affairs of Salem. As a member of the planning hoard, president of the Chamber of Commerce, a Rotarian, and in many other ways, he has been known and respected by all classes of people. Dr. Pitman cooperates in every possible way, and it is a real pleasure to tell him at this time of my esteem for him as educator, citizen and friend." Mrs. Mildred Merrill Howe, president of the alumni association of Pitman classes, was next introduced. She spoke as follows: "It is a pleasure and an honor to be here to represent the classes who have graduated under Dr. Pitman. The school is about the same from all outside appearances though a few things are changed. The assembly hall used to have desks in it and the gymnasium had no showers. Even Dr. Pitman looks and acts just the same. As freshmen we hardly knew him and dreaded conferences in that private office, but as seniors we came to know him and to appreci- ate him. It is to express the appreciation of the alumni to you, Dr. Pitman, that I am here." Mrs. Howe then presented Dr. Pitman with a very beautiful watch as a gift from the Pitman classes. Frank W. Wright, commissioner of education and director of the normal schools of Massachusetts, read the 1905-1906 report of the board of visitors written at the time of the appointment of the principal of this school. "The most important event in the school that year," he said, "was the appointment of J. Asbury Pitman, superintendent of schools in Marlborough, as principal of the Salem Normal School. Dr. Pitman entered at the beginning of the second term of the school year. Through his wise, skillful and untiring guidance, and through his considerateness and fairmindedness, the school has gained in a way to give satisfaction to the students, faculty, and board of education." Mr. Wright mentioned the fact that the other nine normal schools have all changed principals at least once, and many twice, during his 14 years as commissioner, but Salem has retained Dr. Pitman. He added: "Since this school was founded 76 years ago, there have been 5792 graduates. As a single institution that has turned into the teaching ranks in this and other states, Salem Normal School has sent out, prepared to teach, that total, and of that entire number, 3013 have been graduated under the administration of Dr. Pitman.

8 1931 Faculty

He has had the privilege oi graduating and signing diplomas for these persons. Few men have that opportunity and few will ever have it. A total of 9623 students have attended Salem in these 76 years; 4305 have come here and enrolled during Dr. Pit- man's administration. This is a record from which he can and must secure a great deal of satisfaction. It is a very happy coincidence that two members who greeted Dr. Pitman twenty-five years ago are here this morning—Miss Goldsmith and Mr.

Charles F. Whitne) , In analyzing the characteristics of a good principal there are two or three things in particular that come to my mind. He has one thing to do and do well: that is, to train teachers for our children. Of all the principals I have met and still do meet, Dr. Pitman certainly ranks as high, professionally, as any principal now in Massachusetts. He gives his entire time and attention to the professional development of this normal school. 1 have always found that this principal knows what is being thought in the field of teacher training beyond the bounds of Massachusetts or even New England.

Another desirable characteristic of the head of an institution is that he should always have in mind the good name of the school. Salem Normal School is to Dr. Pitman the outstanding and complete institution; not selfishly, but honestly, does he believe that this school is the best normal school in Massachusetts. I am always glad

to nave a principal feel that way. You have a very loyal and earnest principal. As a third characteristic, a good principal has the highest type of members in his

teaching staff. Dr. Pitman takes longer and searches farther than any other principal

I know. He is over-cautious, but after it is done he has an enthusiastic faculty. During the years Dr. Pitman has been. here, he has supervised the expenditure of hundreds of thousands of dollars of state money. Never a question as to the matter of judgment, accuracy of records or validity of expenditure! So, as you mark the course of your three-quarter century as an institution, mark the course of a quarter century of excellent leadership." At this time, Miss Murray presented Mrs. Pitman a beautiful bouquet of roses. Mrs. Pitman has not only helped to make her husband's career successful, but has

done much for the school in its social activities. Miss Murray next presented the gift of the school, a table lamp, to Dr. Pitman,

and said: "I like to feel that I not only represent the present student body but also

those of the past who have not been so fortunate as I to be able to express publicly my appreciation. All has been said of his characteristics. He has shown the true value of a

sympathetic disposition, a man to whom we can go at any time. He is just and he is

fair, and justice is the essential fundamental of life. I might speak for hours, but would

not touch upon all his good qualities. He is a man who practices the code that he teaches."

The last speech was by Dr. Pitman. "It is an awful shock," he began, "to a man who looks into a mirror and fails to recognize himself, and doesn't know whom

his friends have been talking about. Friendship is just as blind as love.

The class of 1931 is united in wishing for Dr. Pitman many more successful and happy years at Salem Normal School.

Commercial's Jltstorp

That day of days had come at last! Salem Normal School loomed ahead of us frightened freshmen like a great mountain to be conquered.

Perhaps the greatest anticipation or dread of that first year was the initiation and ghost walk. We were terrified by every senior who threatened to humiliate us publicly if we were not present that night. We were there, dressed as cunning little boys and girls, all ready to perform our antics. At last, it was over, and we were entertained by our dignified elders.

Life resumed its normal routine after this, but the boarding students had to suffer through another initiation, that of the Trimu at Ipswich, but they weathered it.

The first activity of our class as a whole was a return reception to the seniors. We wonder what they thought of our talent. Along in the spring came "scarletina" at one of the boarding houses. Five of the class were told they must leave town at once. Louise, Helene, and Dot will never forget the ride through the Sherbourne woods on that dark, rainy night. The year rolled on and the Trimu Dance was the culminating event.

40 1931 Seniors

The class that returned to S.N.S. as commercial sophomores in 1928 numbered only twenty-nine. Along with the upperclassmen of that year, we were asked to contribute an entertainment to the initiation party at Hallowe'en, so with our loving friend and adviser, Miss Bivnnan, directing us, we staged "Wild Nell", a pantomime. I am sure no one ever saw an Indian War Dance any more original than ours, or a squaw that "spat" like that one did. That was a record term, scholastically speaking, —contracts, typewriting bud- gets, arithmetic tests —oh! blessed hours of labor gone to naught! Then came three weeks of selling. To many, Christmas that year was bountiful for they were earning money. Shall we ever forget that eventful harbor trip in the Spring 3 The guide was showered with questions about docks, steamships, and the important points of interest about the harbor. We are sure there was never a "hotter" day recorded in history than that one. It was a blushing, pink-skinned group of sophomores who attended the Trimu Dance that night.

Fall came with our ranks a little depleted. Twelve of us still pursued the mysteries of the field of business. What a joyous and courageous group joined forces in January—only nineteen to carry on the standards of the class of '31.

Our first undertaking was a chapel program under the supervision of Miss Gale, our newly elected faculty adviser. A presentation of famous paintings, portrayed by members of the class, displayed the wide interests our class has always possessed.

The "College Pharmacy" was our noon-hour gathering place, as well as were the orchestral lockers on the first floor corridor. We dare say first floor classes, and especially members of the faculty breathed sighs of relief to know that these lockers were not in the possession of commercial juniors during the next year. What a jolly picnic we had at Preston Beach in May! We learned that Billv would really make quite a fine husband for he not only brought home the bacon but amused the kiddies to the satisfaction of their parents. Undoubtedly, the most memorable events of that year were those centering around law classes, such as scrambling for copies of page after page of notes and those daily legal debates which would shame the best of lawyers.

The first real party of the Senior year was the Hallowe'en Party at which time we put the freshmen on the reviewing stand. They stood the test well; many gave back as good as they received. Our part of the entertainment was Household Hints which would, no doubt, prove very helpful to any young housekeeper. The Model League Assemblv was held! Evervthing and everybodv gave way to that. It was then that we saw and heard Glad, Cilia, Thel, Nate, George and Bill pour forth their views on international problems. These, heretofore quiet persons, showed the world that thev had a talent and thev knew how to use it.

41 The Year ^ook 1931

After a few months' study of banking, a trip to Boston was planned. Under the leadership of Mr. Phillips, we visited the Stock Exchange, Federal Reserve Bank, Vault of the First National Bank, and Ginn & Company.

Because of a sudden fad in game playing, it was decided that we would have a Valentine Card Party at Mr. Phillips' home on February 12. We'll never forget the good times we have had there. It was some family that night —Mother and Dad and eighteen children. Those were the happy days, Cilia bringing chicken sandwiches and Bea tempting us with candy. It was no wonder we got fat—(all except Margaret), and our pocket- books slim. Erene was our banker through all those days. Yes, she could loan a nickel here and there for a Wayne of some oyster crackers, but her chief duty was to collect our class dues. Ethel was "Johnnie on the spot" as far as arriving at 9.30 and leaving at 2.50 were concerned (never mind Ethel, we undesrtand that all legal engagements must be on time). We recall how well Barney wrote up those games—the preposterous number that our boys won along with their huge scores. Then came a busy time, rehearsing for our play, Here Comes Patricia. Everybody in the class worked hard to make it a success.

Our history is nearly over, but it will never be forgotten. The days of rough sledding and unhappiness are overshadowed a thousand times by the many pleasant and happy occasions we enjoyed together at Salem Normal School.

Br-r-r-r-! Drat that alarm clock! I reached out and shut it off and then turned over for another forty winks before kicking out for another day of hard work. And what work I am having these days. It seems as though business just suddenly picked up after I graduated from normal school and got this position as "Mail Inspector" at Washington.

Incidentally, in connection with my work, it's surprising how much of the mail

I handle has such familiar handwriting. One bit of mail was a bulging letter from

China from Priscilla Little, addressed to Louise Dudley at the U. S. Bureau of Edu- ation. Louise is experimenting with the theory she very devoutly professed while at

Salem Normal School; namely, the pros and cons of card playing as an aid in doing home- work. Slipping her letter into my jacket pocket I turned back to my work. There was a Science magazine before me, including articles on every type of science in the universe, even to one on the Science of Making and Spending a Million

Dollars. Partly due to suspicion and partly curiosity, I turned to the title page and there in bold print was the name, Gladys Bates, Editor-in-chief and Business Mana-

42 1931 Seniors

ger. A printed card fell to the floor face upwards. It was an ad for the pageant to be held at an aviation held in New Orleans, featuring the world's fastest and highest

flyer, Bill Weinstein, in person.

That evening, taking Louise's letter I set out to walk to her abode for a visit. I

hadn't gone farwhen I heard a creaking noise beside me in the street and the soft tread of feet, as an attractive young woman slowly pushed a cart of periodicals and candy along the way. Something about the familiar figure made me look again and to my astonishment 1 stood face to face with my old friend, Helene Carmel,our own "Pushy" of Normal School days. After chatting with her, I proceeded on my way. Arriving at

Louise's, whom should 1 find but Irene Marx, my old school chum, who was on a travel tour in connection with financing a project for a prominent confectionery company of which she was treasurer. She told me she had met Eleanor Smith in a western town, teaching classes in Linotype, six periods a day, six days a week. If I'm not mistaken "Lee" was always rather good at "throwing a line" back in our school days.

Irene departed shortly afterwards and I settled down with a radio magazine while Louise read her letter. As I turned the pages, I saw a picture that appeared to be a friend of mine, but I couldn't place him. It was a description of the "Big Boy of the Radio" and his one man show. I glanced at the print and discovered that it was none other than Nate Goodman, displaying himself and his ability, only now to an inv isible audience, no doubt much to his disappointment.

At this point I was interrupted by a laugh from Louise and she read from the letter where Cilia had told her of an interesting experience. She and Charlie had gone

into a restaurant, while traveling through Russia, and enjoyed a delicious meal of foreign mixture. Just before leaving they were greeted by the owner, Ethel Bacevice.

She was owner, manager and supervisor of all cooking. How I enjoyed hearing that. Ethel told of meeting George Cosgrove at a bull fight in sunny Spain. George by the way was the bull fighter and was running true to form in throwing the bull. The letter continued describing a charity ballet given by a famous producer, at an opera house in Lincolnshire, England. Inasmuch as the proceeds were donated to Cilia's and Charlie's establishment they were both present and met the producer

after the performance. He is Bill Polishook, and has been very successful as formulator and teacher of a popular ballet dance called the "Shooting for Baskets Fantasy." His

most colorful dramatization of this basketball dance is the solo dance performed by Goldie Kantrovitz in which she successfully completes several shots to the basket while doing a toe specialty. He has in his employ another classmate, Barney Wein- stein, who is acting in the capacity of Advertising Manager. He sometimes fills in between the acts in a comedy role in which he displays a very distinguished and popular "Cake-Walk."

It was getting late, so I started for home again. When I arrived, there was a special notice for me from the office concerning several thousand dollars' worth of

material which was supposed to have gone through three days previous. I was ordered to report at the office at once for a night of checking. Well, those things happen

43 The Year ^Book 1931

occasionally, so I took a cab and was greeted by "the man above" and together we began the search. At about 3 A.M., after turning the place upside down, I found a small bundle of papers and circulars marked, "Rush! Important!" and addressed to R. A. Johnson, President Board of Trade, Rockport, Massachusetts.

As a result of my night work for Ray I was free the next dav after 10 A.M., so I went home to rest. The morning paper lay on the table and a certain headline caught my eye. It was an article revealing a bit of private life of a very famous woman editor of a leading publication. It told how Mrs. Dorothy Converse, formerly Dorothy Kim- ball, though married and the mother of five boys, loved her editing work so much that she went on working at it for little or no pecuniary advantage. That shows what habit does to a person.

Next day I got an answer to a letter I wrote Ray, who informed me that Mar- garet Sears had been over to see her several times. Margaret was acting as private tutor in Bookkeeping with several families along the North Shore. I turned to my inspection of mail again and worked along through an uneventful three hours. Just before closing time, I picked up an extra large letter and to my surprise and great enjoyment saw that it was addressed to Beatrice Arthur, Girl Scout Director at Cedar

Hill. I inquired further and learned that, through loyalty and faithful work, Bea had ascended the heights in Scouting circles and was now the "Big Gun". I sighed and put away my work. Only one left now and I couldn't imagine where she might be.

When I reached home there were two letters awaiting me. One from China which I immediately knew was from Cilia. More news! Thelma Garrison had realized her life ambition to travel, having completed a round-the-world trip with a visit to China, visiting with Cilia. She was now ready to settle down, though I doubt if she ever subdues that contagious laugh of hers.

Hast l^tll anb Testament OF Commercial Senior Class, Salem Normal School

County of Essex 1 To all who would benefit bv

State of Massachusetts J these words of wisdom Know ye, that we, the unparalleled, unsurpassed, and irreproachable Commercial Senior Class of the Salem Normal School, never being in a state of better health, having full possession of our faculties, and having overcome all studies and obstacles thrown in our straight and narrow path by the faculty, hereby gainsay the highest place in the esteem of our classmates and reputable citizens of this country, do make and declare this our last will and testament; hereby revoking any and all instruments heretofore made by us. After the payment of all our just debts and graduation ex- penses, we give, devise, and bequeath as follows: To the Commissioner of Education, our unblemished records, which are proof that we have been perfect paramounts of excellence and diligence in our studies.

44 1931 Seniors

To Mr. Sproul and other members of the faculty, a vote of thanks and respect for their everlasting patience with us. To the Juniors, our recipe for laughter and good health, also the candy concession. We hope that they will appreciatethis means of raising funds to finance the Year Book. To the Sophomores, two more years of study in which they may hope to overcome the great handicap of our superiority and make a fair showing for themselves. To the Freshmen, the pleasant thoughts of three more years in Paradise. Nate Goodman leaves to Charles Calvin Potter his confidence and mental museum. Gladys Bates grants to Florence White her ability of agreeing to disagree in matters coming up during class discussions. She also hopes that Florence will get as much enjoyment out of the literature classes as she has. Barney Weinstein leaves his matter of fact attitude. The animated seven (Erene Marx, Ethel Bacevice, Helene Carmel, Louise Dudley, Katherine Flvnn, Eleanor Smith, Rachel Johnson) leave their large store of animation to the nine Commercial Juniors who are specializing in Shorthand. Margaret Sears, so very small, leaves a beverage to make small students tall. George Cosgrove leaves his good name, to be used by a debating club in memory of George's argumentative days at S.N.S. "Bea" Arthur leaves to Elsa Henchel her loyalty as a Girl Scout, and her Tuesday classes down town, where she is much in command. "Dotty" Kimball bequeaths her persistence and ability to next year's Editor-in- Chief of the hog. "Thel" Garrison leaves her personal copy of "The Making of the Modern Mind" by Randall, to anyone who will take it.

"Bill" Weinstein leaves his wit and musical talent to anyone worthy of it. "Cilia" Little bequeaths delicious chicken sandwiches made from the pullets of New buryport. "Bill" Polishook leaves his rhetorical verbosity to Israel Cohen, with the hope that he may not only take it as it is, but improve it. Goldie Kantrovitz bequeaths her athletic ability. All the rest, residue, and remainder of the class property such as candy wrappers, paper towels, etc., we give, devise, and bequeath to the janitors, to be placed carefully in a suitable container, and carefully disposed of with other rubbish.

We nominate Dr. J. Asbury Pitman to be the executor of this our last will and testament, and request that he be exempt from any of the blame which may arise from one or any of the clauses. (Signed) Commercial Senior Class 1931 Salem Normal School In witness whereof we have placed our hand and seal, on this the ninth day of February in the vear of our Lord Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-one.

Here Comes Patricia

"Here Comes Patricia," an uproarious comedv in three acts, coached by Miss Goldsmith, was given by the Commercial Senior Class in the Training School Hall, March 20. The play had novelty and diversity which appealed to the audience. Dorothy Kimball, as the versatile Patty, kept the audience alert as to what she would do next in her many escapades. The good-looking Jimmy Clark, personified by William Wein- stein, was bewildered by the complexity of the many situations which insisted upon arising. Angelina and Minnie Knoop, men chasers especially where Bud Flannigan was concerned, kept the audience in peals of laughter. Tim Hopper, the town character, provided a great deal of competition for Mrs. Smith-Porter, when he received the invitation to ride with the governor. Elbert Hastings, a rather effeminate-looking chap and Patty's cousin, frequently found himself in a daze by the swiftness of events. He was always in hot water. In spite of his groanings and ravings, the audience found Elbert a likeable chap. Adam Wade, a successful, hot-tempered little man with a touch of eccentricity, might be compared to a bantam rooster always looking for a fight. Throughout the play he spoke and acted with authority, and when his pet plans failed, we found him storming in apoplectic rage. Mrs. Smith-Porter, a society matron, characteristic of every small town, was gushy to her friends, and haughtv and domineering to those beneath her. The curtain fell with the prospect of a wedding.

Junior Higfj Pernors MEMORIES

Part I

Early in September in the year nineteen hundred and twenty-eight, nftv-four pale-faced, timid, young students entered the building where the molding of teachers takes place. They looked on in amazement at the cheerful, nonchalant upper-classmen who were so friendly, yet so reserved in manner. The real test of courage started in the chapel hall. One by one the faculty members took their places. The name of each instructor and the subject taught were whispered around the hall. At last — Dr. Pitman! How straight and tall, yet calm and peaceful, he looked. With his entrance there came a silence which, in itself, started the heart to quicken within the breast of every newcomer. Dr. Pitman extended a welcome to everyone and explained some of the proceedings to the freshmen.

It was not long before the Seniors held a party for the freshmen. With an upper- class member for an escort, each beginner was introduced to the faculty. Then there was a tea followed by an entertainment and dancing.

50 Seniors

Everyone fell like .1 regular normalite now, and soon settled down to work. But later the initiation party was announced by the Junior High Seniors. Like the shy animals of the forest, the Junior High Freshmen, in a complete unit, assembled in the gymnasium on the specified date. The freshmen were lined up. Through dark corridors inhabited by mysterious creatures, upstairs and downstairs they were led and pursued. At last in the gym again, they found that the horror was over. This experience of traveling through dark corridors, where ghastly creatures with slimy hands were encountered, will never be forgotten. But then came the ogre, Marks, to spoil pleasures. He had warned everyone, but some paid no attention. These he captured. Others he left terrified, while upon some he left no impression. The freshmen were organized as a group and a return party was given to the upperclassmen. Some of the timidness had disappeared and the social was a success. Thus the gaieties and pleasures that come with Spring were started. But the tender longing for the wide open spaces had to be quickly suppressed. Budget books, history charts, and finishing touches here and there were calling for their attention before the season closed. The end came with a grand historic pageant. June—the month of roses and vacation time—was welcomed. Soon the trains carried fewer passengers, and everyone knew that the year at Salem Normal School had terminated.

Part II

As all things come to pass, so did that vacation period. Forty-two souls had braved the storm and were willing to continue the journey- A grand reception and welcoming started things moving. There were the usual parties, introductions, and get-togethers. Salem Normal School had been existing for seventy-five years, and a celebration was arranged. The pageant of theprevious Junewasrepeated. Noted speakers from leading colleges talked upon the various phases of education. Among the speakers were Dr. Frank W. Wright, Deputy Commissioner of Education; Dr. William C. Bagley, Columbia University; and Dr. Charles H. Judd, Director, School of Education, Uni- versity of Chicago. After the celebration was completed, the studies received more attention. Miss Rust had succeeded Miss Brown in the gymnasium. The athletic achievements were great, and went hand in hand with the classroom activities. "Mr. Marks" had lost a little of his power over individuals, but the coming training period now filled them with fear. This feeling was not difficult to overcome, and a fondness for the work with children developed rapidly. Then, one rainy day, we left school at noon for a trip to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston with Miss Gale as our escort. The rain damaged outside appearances but could not dampen the spirits of our group. Through one room after another we tramped, discussing the different valuables on display. From here, we dashed into a small restaurant and then to the theatre.

51 The Year ^Book 1931

On sped Father Time and June was present again. This month brought the Ter- centenary celebrations of all the nearby cities. Salem, too, observed its anniversary.

The Arbella of today, modelled as of yore, came into the harbor as it had done three hundred years previous. After the parade and festivity, Salem Normal School was again vacant.

Part III Many friends had passed on to the teaching world, but this class of thirty-nine cheerful souls were happy to be back once more. It was necessary for the class to set good examples for the lower classes. Prepara- tions were started at once for the welcoming party. Then, for entertainment, one evening there was an initiation of the Junior High Freshmen. The Junior High Senior Class was united for all subjects except history and science. The divisions for these two classes were about the same size. The seniors settled down to work at once. From Miss Harris they learned the value of creative work, drama, and biography; from Miss Lyons the work of English in the ordinary classroom; from Miss Stone mathematics of all kinds; from Miss Ware life abroad; and from Miss Wallace healthy, wealthy, and wise-living tactics. No one can forget the Tercentenary celebrations of the different cities, especially

Boston with its Legionnaires. Salem Normal School held a session in the Mechanic Arts Buildingexamining the different exhibits, during the timeof Boston's celebration. This trip was amusing as well as educational. Some students were lost in the rush, others in the subway. Even this large city becomes tiresome and everyone was glad that she attended the normal school at Salem rather than a college in Boston or thereabouts.

Studies were resumed once more. It was not long, however, before some observing senior, who reads the newspapers, discovered that Shakespeare's Twelfth Night was playing at the Wilbur Theatre. It was suggested that we journey to see it, and, as about everyone was in favor, tickets were purchased. Miss Gale, Miss Flanders, and Miss Harris were the honored guests of the evening. Time passed quickly. Everyone was interested in one of the various organizations of the school. Then, too, there must be some time spent for athletics. Who could forget those athletes in the class of '31? But the second quarter arrived, and the History Division of the class left for training in the neighboring cities and towns. The science division now showed their skill in the Training School to grades seven and eight.

'Tis said, "All work and no play makes Johnny a dull boy." This is even true with Seniors. The next social affair was held at the home of Miss Flanders. Here the class was entertained with readings by Rita Serrilla, vocal selections by Barbara Nutter, and the story of "Junking" by Miss Flanders. Other guests were Miss Harris and Miss Ware.

The second quarter passed quickly and it was nearing time for a new shift. Before that time, though, the Women's Athletic Association brought forth a scheme for a Mock Man Dance. It was a huge success, and what "men" were present! Two weeks later followed the Musical Club Operetta, Pandora. The same week,

52 ' .

1931 Seniors

Dr. Pitman observed his twenty-fifth anniversary as principal of the school. Needless to say, he was not forgotten by his friends. The fourth quarter found all the seniors happy to be back together again. The time was short now, and there were many things which had to be completed. The middle classes offered to present the class day pageant and their generosity was ac-

cepted . Then, the last day as a class. The last day all would be together—June 12, the graduation day of the class of 1931- The reception was held that evening. Farewell, Alma Mater. May we, the small class of 1931, be remembered as we shall remember you. G. E. G.

Junior ftigft Class Mil — Commonwealth of Massachusetts District Court of Southern Essex :

As the sun is slowly sinking in the sky, we, the Junior High Senior Class of 1931, at Salem Normal School, in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, feel our days drawing to an end. And being of sound mind and memory, do make this our Last Will and Testament. To our most helpful, cooperative, sympathetic, and provident principal and teachers, we leave our sincerest gratitude and humble acknowledgment of their untiring efforts and sincere help in aiding us to climb the ladder of success. We also leave to them, our fondest desire that they may have many more classes as "large" and highly talented as the said Class of 1931. Notwithstanding our unusual scholastic standing, we likewise justly bequeath them the relief from "the heavy burden". To our Capable Office Friends 1. To Miss Wellman—We leave a gold chest to keep our remarkable records made during our stay at dear old Normal School. 2. To Miss Clark —We bequeath an ever filled fountain pen for signing her name on train and car slips. To the Faculty: 1. To Miss Lyons—The grand and glorious feeling of knowing that the Junior

' High Seniors of 1931 can thoroughly teach 'Letter— Writing' ' 2. To Miss Harris—We leave our future motto "To be true, free, and open minded. '

3. To Miss Stone—An automatic paper corrector—a new desk with non- sticking drawers.

4. To Miss Cruttenden—A daily delivery of newspapers to aid the eager students searching for current knowledge.

5. To Miss Ware—Our picturesque graphs that speak for themselves. 6. To Miss Wallace—A set of athletic balls well labelled. 7. To Miss Bell —An assistant to help her to answer all the "important" questions asked.

8. To Mr. Moody—Our laborious, well-kept, training notebooks. 9. To Mr. Whitman—A spotless laboratory. 10. To Mr. Woods—Memories of the sweet melodious notes sounding from the first two rows of the chorus. To the Sophomores:

1. A large amount of the sophistication which is said to become good seniors.

2. Desks large enough to hold all their books, manuscripts, and important implements.

3- A large parking space partitioned off into stalls and bounded by an iron fence, both of which must be substantial enough to prevent involuntary "parking" on other people's rights, property, or mudguards.

4. The privilege of "wasting" a study period.

5- A newly installed heating device in the locker rooms. 6. The unmentionable pleasure of searching for a position.

7. The privilege of examining our most original displays of bulletin board work. As a parting request, we ask that you perform all the tasks we should have done but did not do, wanted to do but could not do, did do but did not finish. Last but not least To the Freshmen:

1. The great honor of spending two more fruitful years at our dear Alma Mater.

"Listen classmates For it has begun. Don't be hurt For it's all in fun." New York City 1961 Dear Year Book Staff,

I received your request for an article on the doings of the class of '31, and feel pleased to think that you deem us important enough to place us in your Year Book. But then, we were an outstanding class. First, I must tell you about my magazine, Troo Tales, which originated in our sophomore year at Salem Normal School. Troo Tales has the largest circulation of any magazine in the country. We occupy a building of one hundred and fifty stories. From

54 mi Seniors

our windows, we have a lovely view of New York Harbor. It conjures up memories of the time spent gazing from the geography room at the Salem bay.

Lib Welch is the associate editor. She is the brains of the firm, while I supply the money.

Speaking of money, Peg McAuley is still at her old job of making collections. She spends most of her time assiduously pursuing our subscribers who are lax in paying according to our new budget system. The budget? Laura Gauthier, inspired by our chapel program, has worked out a marvelous system whereby anyone can pay two cents a month for our magazine. I timidly suggested to her that I could not understand it, but she says that we are making money, so whv should I worry?

Mary Egan is also working here in the capacity of an interior decorator of the offices. She is exceedingly capable since she received a wealth of experience along this line in the Normal School lunch room back in '31.

Mary tells me that Buffy is still pursuing Art for Art's sake. (There is more weight to this remark than the casual reader would suspect.)

At first, irate, would-be writers came ranting into the building inquiring why

their articles had been rejected. I was at a loss to know what to do until I remembered how well Gert Griffin used to eject the males from the gym during dancing classes at

Normal School. She is, therefore, now official bouncer, and all is quiet on the western front.

This is not the only source of our trouble, however, for the board of censors make frequent visits here. On this board are some of my old classmates, Aina, Minnie, Ida, Leo, and Ted. Have you heard that Mary Grodzicki has become famous? She has written a book called Why? As yet I have not read it, but I assure you she is capable of writing on the subject.

Oh yes, and some of our members are making a living in the music field. Fran and Barb, accompanied by Muriel at the piano and Kitty on the violin sing daily over the radio for the Snapwell Garter Company. They call themselves the Snappy Quartet. To think that they should come to this!

While on the subject of radios, I must tell you that Madeline is a radio announcer. All my old classmates will nod their heads in a satisfied manner when they hear the news. We had some more talent in our class. The Cioleks have made their name on Broadway doing a sister act. We often go to see the Dunstan Sisters and assure you that they are the best ever.

Gen and Ken decided that they could not let the fact that their names rhymed go to waste, and so, accordingly, they now own a fashionable dress shop in Paris. You

all have heard of Genne and Kenne Gownes.

And here is a suggested reading for struggling Normal School students. Helen

Burke has written a set of books entitled How to Get Ahead in Training. Helen, I heard,

55 The Tear ^Eook 1931 1931 Seniors The Year Book mi

gave Betty and Florence a set, and Betty and Florence, using this as a foundation, have built up a large library. Di has signed a contract with Flo Ziegfeld. The class of '31 will never forget her version of Turn on the Heat.

You have probably heard that Marv Mrose obtained a position teaching in Honolulu. She did not teach long, however, for some ukulele player swept Mary off

her feet. Mary married him, and is now confronted with a project involving a real life situation in the form of a family of little ukulele players. Two of our members have devoted their lives to science. Mary Shea, looking for a cause to which she could devote herself, hit upon the idea that a non-combustible paper bag would help the future normal school students in performing the experi-

ment which ended sodisastrously for her. Helen Welch also thought it a good idea, so she and Mary have hidden away in a secluded spot in the mountains of Kentucky. Mary's golf pro has not forgotten her, however, for he sings every night over the

radio The Little Things in Life.

We also have another member who is in the scientific field. Ruth Goff has in- vented a delicately tinted mauve colored facial cream. She demonstrated this on Marie Flynn in the window of Day's Drug Store, and they met with immediate success. Ruth and Flynny, bedecked in furs and jewels, now ride around in imported cars. Just as we predicted, Olympia has gone into the athletic field, and even now at

this late date is considered the best basketball plaver in the country. Our classmates will be interested to learn that Alice Shirls finally married the mysterious doner of her diamond. We shall never forget our exasperation at receiving only a sly smile from Alice in answer to our inquiries about that ring.

Ev Johnson, after many years, has at last consented to tell the world the secret of losing all that weight, and so her new book; To Satisfy the Curious or How Do I Do It?

is being published.

Peg Thoren tired of the cold after three winters in Salem, is now living in Calif- ornia. She became lonesome for her old home town, and so she bought an orange grove.

I suppose, dear reader, you are wondering whether any of our class stayed in the

teaching field. Yes, Rose Shnirman started a private academy, and with Mary Bilicki,

Regina McArthy, and Pauline Spalke as teachers there, the school is thriving.

I believe I have told you about all the members of my class, and I hope that it will be of interest to the readers of your Year Book.

Sincerely yours, Rita M. Serrilla

September 21 Visited exhibitions at the Armory and at Mechanics Hall October 9 Visited Salem Center School. November 19 Visited Walter E. Fermold Institute at Waverley. January 7 Visit to Cobbet School at Lynn. January 26 Beginning of Practice-teaching. March 16 Conventions of Special class teachers in Boston.

April 6 Returned to S.N.S. from the field. April 15 Visit to State Hospital at Danvers. April 22 Visit to Boston Schools. May 1 and 2 New England Mental Hygiene Conference.

The shades of night had gathered fast and had wrapped a gray cloak around the world. The cheer and warmth of the living room was welcome in contrast to the

deepening darkness. With a sigh of contentment I chose an easy chair and began to read. The book's title was "Applied Psychology'' written by Miss Lillian M. Hoff,

60 1931 Seniors

Head of Columbia University. Ten long years had gone by since J. B. Morgan had been the last word in psychology. In fingering the pages my glance fell upon the name of Ruth M. Girard. She had gathered many valuable statistics for the book. Dear girl, she always loved figures, and hunting up case studieswas a pet hobbyof hers. In a reverie my mind pictured the other girls, but a heavy haziness hung around

me. Suddenly, without a sound of warning and with a flash of light, I stood in a hall

which had six colored doors. Each one bore a name. The first door was red, and

written in large letters was the name of Georgianna. In my haste to open it I was un- prepared to see the sight which greeted my eager eyes. The Sahara desert stretched before me, and on the outskirts was a rough building, rudely put together. In the center of the room was Georgie, wearing dark spectacles. Around her clustered twelve little "Black Sambos" trying laboriously to make an Easter bunny.

Before I could talk to her I found myself in the hall of colored doors again. The yellow door was marked Beatrice. Gently I opened the door. Quiet reigned supreme.

In a moment I heard the roar and hum of a motor. There in an airplane was Bee, pilot- ing her plane, skillfully and surely. She waved to me as she soared away. With longing eyes I watched her disappear far, far away. Aloud I said, "A lot of good her learning to crochet did her!"

The orange door had Helen's name on it. As I turned the knob shouts of laughter rang in the air. In the king's garden the royal children were making merry. Helen was having a glorious time playing with the prince and princess. Helen had tired of Salem and had found a position in Merrie England.

The green door had Esther's name inscribed on it. Timidly, I knocked and Esther ushered me into a great shop. Everywhere were piles of oak tag. Great, huge piles!

"What is all this for?" I questioned. Esther replied, "I'm making reading devices and making my fortune, too!"

The blue door bore Grace's name. As I pulled the door ajar I found myself in a great room. Grace sat at a desk correcting sanity tests. My mind flew back to the days of mental testing in Salem Normal School. Then I knew that for one girl the work had not been in vain.

The violet door bore the name of Marion. I felt cold as I entered. No wonder! Snow was heaped around in white piles. Marion, in a fur parka, came rushing to meet me. She told me all about her trip to the North Pole, she being one of a party of ex- plorers. My surprise was great, but I felt reassured that the wants of the members of the expedition were well filled. She always carried every thing from an aspirin tablet to a button hook with her.

When she asked me what I was doing I answered, "Organizing rhvthm bands.

You remember I always had an emphasized sense of rhythm!" In our conversation we mentioned Miss Walker, who had become Superintendent of the Waverley School.

The doors faded away from sight and I found mvself alone, still sitting in the chair. In my lap lay the book, with but one chapter read. The fire in the stove crackled on, and all was peace. —Louise Auger

The Tear ^Book 1931

Challenge

Across the vista of the years Comes a vision veiled in tears, Bearing aloft a torch of flame Mute witness of Wisdom's eternal reign.

With all revealing grace, the sage

Cast her beams across life's page Showing not seams of the setting sun But clean, fresh, the journey just begun.

Aglow with power and learning Enclosed by knowledge's magic ring; Untried by the chapters of experiences Nor hedged by climaxed fences.

Will you shed your radiance abroad As you traverse the dusty road? Keep undefiled that pure flame In your patient pursuit of fame?

M. S. P.

#oob J2tgl)t

When winter snows come softly In the silence of the night, Thev put to sleep the stars above And close their eyes so bright; They cover up the whispering trees With puffs of snowy white, And all the garden plots and paths, And tuck the world in tight. Then Mother North Wind tip-toes To assure each wee tree mite, As she draws the blanket closer, That dark will soon be light; She caresses them quite gentlv And dispels each tiny fright As she hushes doubtful murmurings With, "Sh-sh-sh," and then "Good night."

Cooperative Council

The Cooperative Council held two regular business meetings each month during the school year of 1930-31- At these meetings the problems of the school were dis- cussed and later referred to various committees appointed for such purposes.

During the third week of the new semester, the Council began its program of activity by entertaining the freshmen at a reception and tea. Two mass meetings were held during the year for the benefit of the whole Association. A seating plan for Chapel was arranged by the Chapel Committee and the Social Committee served as the sponsor of receptions, teas, and dances. In April the Council sent two of its newly elected officers to New York, where they represented Salem Normal School at the annual Faculty-Student Conference. Many new and progressive ideas were exchanged at this Conference in regard to student government organizations. The officers for the year 1930-31 are: President, Madaline Murray; Vice-president, Gertrude Ciolek; Secretary, Mary Horrigan; Treasurer, Doris Maloney; Chairman of Social Committee, Marion Macdonald; Chairman of General Welfare Committee, Marion Neville; Chairman of the Chapel Committee, May Conway.

The name John Burroughs indicates that the activities of the club are associated with nature. The club visited the Ropes Memorial, The Peabody Museum, and the Flower Show, where many interesting hours were passed. The members of the club participated in many educational bird walks and interesting nature programs. The proceeds of a game party and a lecture on Alaska, given by Miss Goldsmith, were contributed towards providing a sanctuary for birds at Plum Island. A number of the club members attended the meetings of the Northeastern Bird-Banding Association and the New England Federation of Bird Clubs. Customarily, the club went to Boston for a day where they visited the Museum of Natural History and the Arnold Arboretum. The John Burroughs Club of 1931 organized with a capable group of officers: President, Ruth Schofield; Vice-president, Theresa Linsenmeyer; Secretary, Helen Rogers; Treasurer, William Foley; Executive board, Dorothy Rogers and John Donovan, with. Miss Goldsmith as advisor. "Nature never did betrav the heart that loved her."

W\)t <§eograpf)p Club

The year 1931 marks the seventh year that the Geography Club has been in existence. This also marks the third year since the News Letter, a periodical issued for two years by the Club, gave birth to the Log. The Book Store that the club has under- taken for the past three years continues to be successful.

The Geography Club is the only organization in the school that does not elect officers or charge dues. The main purpose of the club is to come to a realization of the benefits one can obtain through knowledge of the different nationalities. The parties held at the apartments of Miss Flanders and Miss Ware help to cement the bond of friendship of the club members. Among the activities, the lecture on South America by Professor C. F. Jones of Clark University proved to be very enlightening. This lecture was heard through the courtesy of the Salem Women's Club. The visit to Daly's Golden Rule Shoe Factory in Lynn was an outstanding trip. During the year, two representatives of the Geography Club were sent on Friend- ship tours in Boston on various occasions.

The club sponsored a trip to New York during the first week of May. This year the club continued the plan of an annual award to two students of the school to aid them to take the New York trip.

#irl g>cout Club

When the Normal School Girl Scout Club was first organized, it had as one of its fundamental aims the training of girls to become leaders. This was to enable the girls to conduct troops of their own, when, as teachers, thev take their places in the life of the communities. The club has tried to prepare the girls to become leaders in several ways. Each year, the club makes it possible for some of its members to attend the Edith Macy Training Camp in New York, or the leader's camp at Long Pond, Plymouth. What the girls learn at camp is in turn presented to the club so that all members may profit. Last summer only one member, Dorothy Boehner, was able to go to camp. The club lost a capable, sincere, and likeable member at her death. For the gaining of practical experience, various members of the club have the opportunity of assisting in a troop of younger scouts here in the city. Beatrice Arthur, Mary Bilicki, and Evelyn Oliver have gained valuable experience as assistants. The officers for the year 1930-1931 are as follows: President ......

3Trimu Club

The Trimu or boarding student club, has the three-fold aim of cultivating health, mind, muscles and morals. It is an organization that brings boarding students together in social life. All activities of the club keep in mind the three M's. For developing the muscles there is hiking and dancing; for the mind, lectures and museum trips; for the morals we have the influence of kind boarding house mistresses and faculty advisers with whom we come in contact. This year the club carried out a broad program under capable leaders. Miss Hoff was the new faculty adviser who did much to make the year a success. The officers for the year were: President, Grace Kennedy; Secretary, Helen Henderson; Treasurer, Beatrice Gray. The bi-monthly social gatherings were held in the form of Hallowe'en, Christ- mas, Valentine, or card parties as the season dictated. At Christmas time there was a special party in the form of a reception to our landladies.

£rt Club

Late in the fall the Art Club met and elected the following for officers: President, Lucy Towne; Vice-president, Martha Stanley; Secretary, Ruth Keyes; Treasurer, Frances Ross. Since then, the club has put on two chapel programs, held an exhibit, made school banners, and planned an art tour of Boston. The first chapel program was given by Mr. Whitney, our beloved former instructor, who is an honorary member of the club. He drew familiar Christmas symbols on the blackboard, and Mr. Woods sang "Trees". The second chapel program was given just before Lorado Taft's long-antici- pated lecture, and served to introduce the noted sculptor and his contributions to art. An exhibit of colored prints for home and school decoration was held for the enjoyment of the Normal School and the Training School.

The club is making school banners to finance an art tour, to include the Marble- head Potteries, the original of the painting, Spirit of '76, the Fenway Court, the Mu- seum School of Fine Arts, a stained glass window factory, and a studio.

During the past year, with the help of an efficient staff, the Log has grown from a four-column paper to a five-column one. The staff feels that among the many other improvements, this was perhaps the most outstanding. This meant that more material could be used, and that instead of having an occasional large issue for the surplus, it could all be used in the current issues. Thus we have better and more up-to-the-minute news for its readers. Several of the other additions have proved quite as successful, among which are: better headlines, more pictures, Miss Attraction, and The Reader Reviews.

international delations Clnb

Last year the Salem Normal School sent delegates to the Model Assemblv of the League of Nations held at Yale University. So enthused were these delegates, that when they returned, they called a meeting of students interested in foreign affairs. This meeting resulted in the present International Relations Club of the Salem Nor- mal School. The club was recognized by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace; and now, through that endowment fund, the club benefits bv supplies of books and pamphlets and the opportunity of hearing speakers.

Under the supervision of Mrs. Lewis J. Johnson, the club presented a verbatim model assemblv of the League of Nations on November 5- Truly, it was a fine undertaking for the infant organization. Two weeks later the school was summoned to the assembly hall to hear a noted international lecturer, M. Lanux, on Disarmament.

Nor is that all. Every other week the club "broadcasts" during the morning chapel the international news of interest; the club has participated in the Third National Essav Contest on the League of Nations, for Teachers Colleges and Normal Schools; and once again the club has sent delegates to the yearly Intercollegiate Model Assemblv of the League of Nations, this year at Wellesley College.

&f)e Camera Club

The Camera Club is now settled in its new quarters which are located between the Science Lecture and Physics rooms. These quarters consist of a dark room for developing plates and films, and a printing room for making the final pictures. So dark, in fact, is the developing room that even the electric light switch has been painted black. The room is entered through a sort of mystic maze corridor illuminated by a dim red light. The new printing room was built and apparatus installed to be most convenient for the operator. Everything is at his hand even enlarging equipment.

The new quarters make it easier to carry on the following activites: Beginners are taught to operate cameras, to develop plates and films, and to print pictures. The more experienced onces get practice in taking landscape pictures and portraits, enlarging and copying pictures, making silhouettes, operating moving picture cameras and projectors, and in trick photography.

On February sixth, the Glee Club presented Pandora, an operetta with an unusual plot which goes like this: Mr. and Mrs. Mavfield are giving a week-end party for their daughter Peggv at the Ocean Beach Club, where Jane Fisher is hostess; Winnie Woodland, Don Sterling and Bill Manning are among the guests. Mr. Mayfield suggests that the entire party board his yacht for a trip to the island of Pandora of which he is a prospective owner. McGinnis and Gassaway, two strange rascals, plan to get possession of Pandora, government property to which no claim has been filed, before Mr. Mayfield; they, too, set sail for the island.

The romance, without which no operetta is complete, is supplied by Peggv, who sighs for the lost days of chivalry; Don, who attempts to satisfy her desire for ad- venture, with the assistance of Bill; and Winnie, who completes the foursome. Bill, disguised as a pirate, is to seize Peggy, and Don is to defend and rescue her. But the situation is reversed when Peggy falls in love with Pirate Bill and Don in turn finds that it is Winnie whom he loves—instead of Peggy. McGinnis and Gassaway's villainly plots are thwarted, but not until after many mirth-provoking scenes, in which Bingo, the lazy colored porter, plays no mean part.

Finis—in the words of the Finale: "Now all of them are happy, which is a great relief; for Winnie has her winning Don and Peg her pirate chief!"

The normal school was the scene of a colorful dramatization when a Model Council and Assembly of the League of Nations were presented in the auditorium on

November 5- The undertaking was the work of the International Relations Club which has just completed its first year of active work. The program was opened by Mrs. Jerome Johnson from the League of Nations Association in Boston. A dispute between Bolivia and Paraguay was settled in a model Council meeting. The meeting of the Assembly followed. Extracts from actual speeches, given at the meeting of the League of Nations at Geneva on September, 1929, were given. As a fitting close, Mrs. Johnson spoke a few words on the value of model League Assem-

blies and illustrated how much work is constantly being done in this field.

As soon as the wheels began to turn, starting the 1930-1931 school year, there came the first call for sports in the form of fieldball. The response was admirable, especially from the freshmen, most of whom had never before played the game. After several practices, they developed good team work and judgment in placing the ball, and were ready to face the more experienced players. Several interesting games were then played, and one freshman team proved to the upperclassmen that experience is not the only necessity in winning a game. As a wind-up, two all-star teams were chosen, The Live Wires and The Mud- hoppers, which met on a muddy field one rainy, Saturday morning. But the weather only heightened the spirits of the players who enjoyed that game more than any other of the season. The score ended in a victory for the Mudhoppers.

Jgetocomb

Next we turned to Newcomb which was one of the most popular of all our sports,

' judging by the number that went out for it. After a few practices in the 'gym' ' classes, to get used to throwing the ball and to receiving a few hard ones, the schedule of games was run off. Much tenseness was experienced at this time, as the ball was handled like one of glass. Of course, it was often dropped but without loss, except to the score.

92 mi Athletics

Volleyball

Move the net up a foot or so, and take a smaller ball and we are ready for our next sport —Volleyball. At first, it was difficult to get used to hitting the ball back over the net, instead of catching it as we did in Newcomb, but with practice came mastery, and we soon had a respectable number of amateur teams. Each team was coached and each game refereed by members of the volleyball technique classes. The games were played off in leagues. After much friendly rivalry, the laurels again went to the Com- mercial Seniors.

Potoltng

As the basketball season came to a close the students were next offered a less strenuous sport— Bowling. With the two new alleys provided by the W.A.A., a larger

number of participants could be accommodated. Bowling is particularly valuable

because it can be enjoyed at any time outside of school. It attracted many students who previously had been uninterested in the field of sports. This activity came to an end when the fine spring weather invited us out to play baseball.

Jteeball

Bats were cracking and baseballs flying as the first spring sport got under way. Pitchers, catchers, basemen, and fielders were developed and formed into three teams, one representing each division. Many baseball stars were discovered as the games were played and home runs were not too scarce. At the same time that the field was ready, the tennis courts were in shape and therefore, two activities were going on at once.

Last spring a tennis tournament was held in which a large number of girls entered. There were two classes of players, beginners and advanced. We found that there were a number of girls who had not heretofore participated in any of the activities of the W.A.A. and who excelled in this sport. Some of the courts were in use at times, before and after school, and during free periods. This fact proves the great popularity of tennis. Paddle tennis, a game played much the same as outdoor tennis, takes the latter's place during the winter months.

A goodly number of enthusiastic fans turned to basketball, with new vigor. After practicing passes and other forms of play, several chance teams were formed making leagues. In this manner we have the opportunity of cooperating with students outside of our own classes, and promoting a general spirit of friendliness throughout the school. Teams were then formed for each of the three divisions: Commercial, Junior High and Elementary, each team playing each other twice. Competition was keen during these games, and it was not without much rivalry that the Elementaries won the games. An alumni team played a group of students representing the school, one after- noon. The teachers showed that they still had an abundance of "pep", but because of lack of the necessary team work, were defeated by the teachers-to-be.

94 mi Athletics

The Women's Athletic Association sponsors two hikes a year, one in the spring an J one in the fall, which are open to every member of the school. A jolly group of students start out in hiking clothes ready for one healthy good time, and thev surely have it. This fall we went to Salem W illows. Usually our trips have been to Devereux

Beach, where we made a fire, and ate our black weenies and marshmallows with the utmost relish. After enjoying several games on the sand, we started back to the school, singing merrily. The W.A.A. gives five points to members walking from and to the Salem station for five consecutive days. Fifty points a year toward awards may be earned in this manner.

OTomen's JUtfjletic Association banquet

The annual banquet of the W.A.A. was held in the school gymnasium on April 10. Many active and alumnae members were present. The guest and speaker of the evening was Miss Florence Somers, founder of the W.A.A. and former physical education director at Salem Normal School and now Associate Director of the Sargent School of Physical Education, Boston University. Miss Somers spoke on the subject of Mass Participation which was the theme of the evening. Others who spoke were: Miss Wallace, present instructor in physical education and faculty advisor of the association; and past presidents, Ruth Smith and Luella Cook, who spoke about athletics in the schools where they are teaching. Awards— triangles, numerals, and insignia —earned up to the time of the banquet were given out. The much coveted award—the gold pin, standing for Sportsman- ship, Scholarship, and Honor—was presented at the end of the 1929-1930 school year to three seniors, Ruth Smith, Marion Smith, and Isobel Chisholm.

iHen s! a. a.

The men of Salem Normal School banded together in October 1930 and elected Leonard Nolan, popular Junior High Senior, to be their leader. The other officers of the association elected were William Weinstein, vice-president; Jack Donovan, treasurer; Nathan Goodman, secretary; and Mr. Phillips, financial adviser. The mem- bership was smaller than the previous year, but once again they sponsored a basketball team. The manager of the team, Charles Kaner, was limited to a schedule of twelve games, playing only high schools from which the Normal School draws its member- ship and schools of the same rating as our school. Through Mr. Kaner's efforts, trips were also included to Maine and to our old rival, Bridgewater Normal School. The usual socials of the association were limited this year. However, the leaders of the club labored hard for the interests of the association and a fine reception was tendered to the Bridgewater Normal School and Gorham Normal School teams. The latter team established a precedent for the M.A.A. when it was arranged that they should board and room in a nearby boarding-house. The plan proved to be very successful and the undergraduates hope that it may be continued in future years.

Under the leadership of Captain Leo Leckar, the basketball team completed one of the hardest schedules ever played by the school team. Although the number of games lost was greater than the number won, the team rose to great heights in defeat- ing Gorham Normal School of Maine and Boston University School of Education. The season started off with a bang when Peabody High School was defeated in the school gym. The second team, although losing their game, showed a pleasing combination in Nolan, Cosgrove, and Polishook. These bovs together with Murphy, Donovan, and Potter, showed fine plaving spirit throughout the season. It remained for two freshmen, Komarin and Gorodnitskv, to furnish the necessary scoring punch in the games. Captain Leckar, Goodman, and Weinstein, all seniors, continued their fine work of last year as defense men, while Folev clinched the center position at the first of the season. The boarding students once again showed their loyalty in following the team to its games and lending their voices to the atmosphere. The team loses through graduation Captain Leo Leckar, Leonard Nolan, Nathan Goodman, George Cosgrove, William Polishook, William Weinstein, and Barnev Weinstein.
