^Faculty Nates.

we look back through the seventy-seventh year of our school's AS progress, we notice changes in the faculty that mean a great deal to us. We have both lost and gained. Every one knows that too frequent change in a faculty is bad, in that it is liable to weaken the unity and decrease the efficiency of that body; but it is good to have some changes, for that means new thoughts and ideas, different views to be blended with the old ones, giving us broader and more advanced views. Among the missing faces which many graduating classes have loved in the past are those of Miss Clara C. Prince, who has retired;

Miss Florence I. Davis, who has been granted a year's leave of absence, to regain her health; Miss Broughton, who is studying in Teachers' Col- lege, Columbia University; and, Miss Dorothea Davis, who has left us to accept a position as supervisor of drawing in Haverhill. It is, also, with deep regret that we understand this is to be Mr. Kirmayer's last year as our teacher. For forty-seven years he has been an object lesson in affectionate loyalty to the school and in faithful and inspiring service. Those to whom we extend a hearty welcome are Miss Harriet Farn- ham, who has taken Miss Prince's place; Miss Breta Childs, who has taken Miss Florence Davis's; Miss Pinnick, who has taken Miss Brough- ton's; and, Mr. Corley, who teaches wood-work. May we help our future pupils as our faculty have helped us.

EORGE HENRY MARTIN was born in Lynn, Massachusetts, August 16, 1841; died in that city March 25, 1917. After gradu- $ ating from the Bridgewater Normal School, he taught a grammar school for a time. In 1864 he returned to Bridgewater as a teacher and remained here as first assistant for eighteen years. The contact with his vigorous intellect was a stimulus to the hundreds of young men and women who were under his instruction during those years. While teaching here he did much work in Teachers' Institutes, work of such high quality that in 1882 he was appointed an Agent of the Board of Education. In that capacity he made thousands of visits to schools in all parts of the State. Through his keen insight and his sympathetic appreciation he gained a first-hand knowledge of actual conditions in the schools, and he worked assiduously for their improve- ment. In 1892, in the full maturity of his splendid powers, he became a Supervisor of Schools in Boston and for twelve years he gave the schools of that city the fruits of his wide experience. In 1904 he was appointed Secretary of the State Board of Education, that office being then the highest position in the educational system of the State. It was universally recognized by those who knew him that, through his native ability, his knowledge of educational history, his study of educational philosophy, his observation of educational practices, and his addresses and writings on educational subjects, he was in fact, as well as in name, foremost among the leaders in public education in Massa- chusetts. A clear thinker, a forceful speaker, a ready writer, a wise counsellor, an inspiring teacher, a genial friend, he has left a lasting impress upon those whose privilege it was to feel his influence. Two years ago he wrote the historical address for the seventy-fifth anniversary of this school. Even then his health was so frail that he was unable to be present, but his paper was read by one whom he had selected for that purpose. It is probable that the preparation of this address was his last important public service. Surely he would have wished it so: that the school to which he had given more of his life than to any other cause, and to which he had remained intensely loyal through all the years since he left it, should be the subject of the last effort of his mind, and hand, and heart.

^"HE first Bridgewater graduate to sacrifice his life in the great III European struggle has been Sergeant Robert E. Pellissier (1903), who was killed in action at the Somme, by Clery, August 29, 1916. He was born in France in 1882, the youngest of seven children. His early education was received in that country, but when fourteen years of age he came to New York to live with one of his sisters. He entered a public school in Brooklyn, and after the first year made rapid progress, finally graduating from the high school. In the fall of 1899 he entered the Bridgewater Normal School and remained four years. As a result of his good record, he was able to enter the senior class of the Lawrence Scientific School in the fall of 1903. Despite the fact that he was obliged to carry a very heavy course, and in addition had to spend many hours correcting French composition-books, he graduated with honors the following June. NORMAL OFFERING 21

For some time it had been his ambition to study medicine, but in order to obtain the funds needed for this purpose he taught for several years in Williston Seminary, Easthampton, Massachusetts. While here he had a physical break down and was obliged to abandon his long- cherished plans. In the fall of 1908 he returned to Harvard and took up graduate work in the department of Romance Languages. After receiving his master's degree in 1909, he was given an instructorship in Leland Stanford University, in 1910 resuming his study at Harvard, where he remained till he won the degree of Ph.D. During this time he taught for two summers in the Harvard Summer School, and also took a trip to Spain to gather material for his thesis. Early in 1914 he was appointed Assistant Professor of Romance Languages at Leland Stanford Uni- versity, and planned to offer a course in comparative literature and one in the history of civilization. When the war broke out he immediately gave up this work, for which he had so carefully prepared himself, and, although he was not called to the colors, sailed for France on the first steamer that returned with French reservists. Though he had never become an American citizen, he was under no legal obligation to join the army; yet his love for his fatherland was so strong that he felt it both his duty and his privilege to serve her to the full extent of his powers. The following account of his ex- ROBERT PELLISSIER. periences, as told by his sister, shows (Courtesy of Williston Bulletin.) the sterling character which he possessed: "He had so constantly trained himself in all kinds of physical exercises that, after two months of military drill, he was not only placed with the men of his class, but with the elite. He became first a chasseur-a-pied and later a chasseur alpin. One of the men belonging to the same company said when writing to a friend ' M. Pellissier est '

22 NORMAL OFFERING un homne tres courageux, je me suis trome, avec lui dans plusieurs com- bats, il est tou jours le premier.' Robert was wounded in the shoulder near Steinbach at the end of January, 1915. After spending four months in the hospital, he found that although his wound was healed he could not carry a knapsack. He therefore resolved to take the examination for admittance to Saint-Cyr, the French West Point. He passed the examinations and spent four months in Saint Maizent, a military school for officers. He went back to the front with the grade of sergeant and on several occasions, he took the place of a lieutenant for several weeks at a time." When in action at the Somme during the latter part of August, his battalion suffered heavily. He remained till the last in order to secure the connection with the battalion which was to replace his own, and he was mortally wounded by the shot of a mitrailleuse, dying the same day at the ambulance. He was about to be appointed second lieutenant and was a candidate for the military medal. To every person connected with our Alma Mater, the career of this true son of Bridge water should be a lasting inspiration. His keenness of mind, his high ambition, his strength of purpose, but, above all, his vision of his duty, which led him to give even his life for a noble cause, —these constitute an ideal which each one of us should aim to attain. Of him we may say in the words of the poet:

"Be thy virtues with the living, And thy spirit ours! '

members of the Editorial Board of this Volume of the " Normal AS Offering " we wish to say that we have worked to the best of our ability. We have worked faithfully to attain the aim, to improve upon the publications of the previous years, and hope we have succeeded. If this book does not fulfill the expectations of our readers, we wish to express our regret. Please remember that the cost of paper and all printing materials has advanced in price over one-half since last year; consequently we have had to limit somewhat our material. As Editor-inChief, we wish to thank all the members of the school who so willingly have helped us in our work. We wish to express to Miss Dickinson and Miss Soper our appreciation for their assistance in the Literature and Art Departments. Our thanks are extended to Mr. Armstrong, who has so kindly con- tributed to our book. Of our business manager and his assistant we can only say that no more efficient helpers could be desired. Our photograph editor has held a very unfortunate position this year, resulting from our misfortune of last year. May she accept these few words of thanks. Last but not least, we offer to our associate editors many thanks for their cooperation with the officers of the board. The material they

have given as contributors from their classmates is thoroughly appre- ciated. We wish also to acknowledge some of the headings for the divisions, taken from books of previous years. THE EDITOR. NORMAL OFFERING 25

N the morning of the nineteenth of June, nineteen hundred six- teen, the two hundred ten graduates of old Normal, with their relatives and friends, gathered in Assembly Hall. The exercises opened with singing by the Glee Club, the cantata, "The Lady of Shalott." All were most ready for the graduation address, which, ac- cording to the program, was to be given by Dr. James Chalmers, Su- perintendent of the Schools of Fitchburg.

After the opening of the exercises, Mr. Boyden announced that it was always the unexpected which was sure to happen. He explained '

26 NORMAL OFFERING this statement by telling the assembled people of the sudden illness of

Dr. Chalmers, which made it impossible for him to be present. ' " Some may have asked themselves, ' What shall we do now ? but nearly every one knew that a pleasant surprise was in store for them. When Mr. Boyden announced that he would attempt to take Dr. Chal- mer's place—how everybody clapped! A splendid address on "Some Traditions of the School" was listened to with great interest by all who were present. The graduates will always remember that Bridgewater Normal stands for " Clean Thinking, " a "Broad View-point/ and an "Open Mind'." Other songs by the Glee Club were enjoyed, among which was the

' ' favorite, ' Spanish Dancer. H. M., '16.

exactly 2 P. M. the bugle sounded, and under the oak boughs, AT held on high by loyal Juniors, to form an arch, the graduates passed from the halls of learning down the street, shoulder to shoulder, over the Campus, around the winding paths of Campus Pond, where we sang "Alma Mater" for the last time together, and up to Normal Grove, where the exercises took place. The address of welcome was given by Elizabeth A. Smith. The oration was delivered by Paul- ine Thomas, who gave us thoughts concerning the education of the foreign element in our public schools. The history, read by Mary Maguire, was pleasing to all. The prophecy, always looked forward to with much pleasure, was given by Hazel Murphy. It was skillfully written and enjoyed greatly by us all. Helen Lockhart composed the class poem and read it in a charming manner. At the close of the exercises at Normal Grove we marched up to the Gymnasium where Bartholomew Casey presented to John Sheehan the spade with which the Ivy had been planted. Mr. Sheehan accepted it in behalf of the undergraduates. The Seniors then sang their class ode under the leadership of Mae

Cullis, who composed it. '

Thus ended the Ivy Exercises of the Class of 1916. The rain came just as we had finished, but as the exercises of the other classes were held indoors, it made no great difference. It was with sadness that each turned her own way at the close of the exercises, each realizing that she had a definite work ahead of her as a graduate of B N. S.

far back as January, we heard some one asking the old-time

'' l AS question, Going to Prom?" and then came back the well-, known answer, "Yes, but I don't know who I am going with." As the months brought these anxious people nearer to June, the excite- ment over "prom" increased. Everywhere on the campus, there were scattered groups of animated girls discussing "prom" and all it's "fix- ings" and from many could be heard the customary remarks, "Save the fourth 'prom' for me, " "Let me see your 'prom' dress," 'Who " are you going with? " " Is he light or dark? Then, suddenly, Commencement Day dawned with all its festivities brought to a close by the "great promenade." The decorations of ferns and palms were a pleasing background for the gayly colored dresses, which stood out like the colors of the rainbow. The "Welcome Prom" was led by Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Boyden, and this was followed by other proms of unique and fantastic"figures led by the various class presidents and officers of the school organizations.

The time passed too quickly for all, and we found the hands of the clock pointing to the closing hours. We now realized that we sepa- rated, each to go his own way, but resolved never to forget our "Alma Mater," which had guided us from the time we entered this school up to this very day, —our " Commencement Day." May we strive to make our "Alma Mater " proud of us and continue to be guided by her teachings. E. C, '16. 28 NORMAL OFFERING

An association of the alumnae of the Bridgewater Normal School in the western part of Massachusetts was formed on Nov. 13, 1915 at the

home of Ida Mae Corwin Kirkland in Indian Orchard. On May 13, 1916 in the Hotel Worthy, Springfield, was held the first annual lunch- eon of this organization. Members were present from Wallingford, Conn., Holyoke, Northampton, and other places in this vicinity. Miss Ethel Ronaldson of Springfield acted as toast-mistress, and the following responded: Ruby Corwin Lanckton, president of the club, Harriet C. Emerson, principal of one of Springfield's schools, and E. Jennie Manning. A very interesting letter from Principal Arthur

C. Boyden was read. "Alma Mater' ' was sung as the meeting was brought to a close. Secretary. 32 NORMAL OFFERING

GLOOMY March morning had dawned on the village of Thornton, and the Graemes in the small brown house, near the corner of the street, were more blue and dismal than the day. Mr. Thomas Graeme had scolded his wife, because his breakfast was five minutes late, and because one button had come off his working coat. Breakfast was always late; he was always late for work, unless he hurried fast enough to break his neck; his buttons were always starting off for want of a stitch, something that wouldn't take half a minute! When Mr. Graeme had said this, he shut the door hard, and went miserably down the street. Mr. Graeme's bad temper seldom lasted ten rods beyond his home; his repentance often came before he was well started on his walk; and even while he was uttering reproaches he was dimly feeling that he should be miserable all that day, —he always was wretched when there had been a fuss at home. He always had visions of Barbara taken suddenly ill, and of the house filled with neighbors trying to help her; or of Johnnie badly hurt, or of the baby sick with croup. All such days he trembled and turned pale, whenever a strange head appeared at the top of the open stairway; and he would catch himself listening to any strange voice in the shop below, dreading lest a messenger had come to summon him on account of some fearful calamity. The shop was too far off for him to go home to his dinner: he always took that meal with him in a tin pail. When he went to work in a pleasant mood, he used to sit and talk with his fellow workmen at noontime. When, however, things went wrong in the morning, he could not bear laugh- ing and talking freely with his comrades while his wife was unhappy. On such occasions, after hurrying down a few mouthfuls, he went out and walked all the rest of the hour. Barbara, on such occasons, always shut her lips fast together, and went about her work with the air of a martyr, while her husband was in the house. The forenoon was always passed in recounting to herself the wrongs and injustices of which she was the victim. So she dwelt NORMAL OFFERING 33

on her troubles, and worked her husband's unkindness into the dish- washing, the sweeping, the cleaning up generally, even into the washing and dressing of the little ones. But by-and-by, when the housework was done, her hair combed and her dress changed, as the afternoon grew on, she thought less and less of herself and her troubles. ''Now if Thomas saw things as I do," she thought, "but he

doesn't at all, and so he finds fault." But then like a flash she thought, " " Do I see things as he does? Thus she was thinking on this particular March day. She tried to put herself in her husband's place. She did seem to see better how affairs must look to him than she had ever done before. His time was not his own; he must be punctual at his work, or lose his place; their house, and bread, and clothes, their very living, depended on his promptness. Then he.had wood to split, after the day's work was done, so that almost all his time was spent out of the house. She could manage many things to suit herself; he must suit other people who didn't care for him as she did; and then she felt that husband might have a hundred cares and perplexities which she did not know. So for half an hour Barbara had really been looking not at her own interest,

but away from it, at the interests of another. That half-hour put a new aspect on the whole range of her affairs. Meanwhile, Thomas was going over the same thoughts in his work- room. These thoughts affected him just as they had Barbara. As he bent lower over his work, he made a swift, but earnest, humble resolu- tion that he would try to control himself better, and be more thoughtful of Barbara's feelings. Two days later, Mr. Graeme was splitting wood while his wife was getting breakfast, everything seemed determined to stop by the way; Thomas came in hungry and cold to find his wife nervously trying to make the kettle boil, to finish setting the table, and quiet the fretting baby all at one. Just at this moment Johnnie had managed to knock down a dish which broke in twenty pieces against the stove hearth. Barbara looked up in mute despair, as her husband came in, expecting a storm, and feeling that there was enough to raise one; but a cheery voice cried out, "Pick up the pieces my boy!" and she saw Thomas catch up the baby, tossing her and quieting her in a minute. The fire burned, the kettle boiled, and breakfast was quickly on the table. Barbara had not spoken a word, for she was so surprised; but her hus- 34 NORMAL OFFERING band looking up quickly as she handed him his cup of coffee, saw tears shining in her eyes, and he knew that they were tears of joy. What a reward for a minute's self control! G. J. G., '18.

®lp> Ijamttefc Mill

|UT near the Long Plain Road, a number of years ago, there stood an old mill which had not been used for ten or fifteen years, and now the rats, mice, and spiders were the only occupants of the granary and the rooms above. It may have been these inhabitants that were responsible for the current rumors about the old place, for, you must know, people said it

was haunted ; strange noises were heard there, and more than one person had seen white figures standing at the windows in the dark hours of the night. But who knows —the noises may have been caused by the wind moaning through the eaves, by the creaking of the mill-wheel, or by the aforesaid permanent dwellers, and the white figures may have been patches of moonlight distorted by the imagination into ghosts. However, the fact remained that the old ruin was reported to be haunted. To this place it happened that three boys, Ed and Charlie Randall and Jack Collins, came for shelter from a storm one evening in the late summer. They had been out all day hunting for small game and had wandered farther from home than they had intended. But they did not mind the prospect of a night in the haunted mill— being real boys

of the adventurous age ; rather, they thought of the fun of telling their companions the next day how brave they had been, of exploring the dusty rooms and playing Captain Kid and his pirates bold, hunting for treasure.

It was raining hard when they reached the mill, and it was with relief that they sat down on a dusty bench near the door to eat the re- '

NORMAL OFFERING 35

mains of the lunch they had brought. What did it matter if the bread was hard, if the doughnuts were crushed, and the meat and cheese blended together in an uninviting whole ? When boys are hungry, they are hungry, and there is no more to be said.

After finishing their banquet while it was not yet quite dark, Captain Kidd (erstwhile known as Jack) led the search for treasure chests to the rooms above, peered into empty grain-boxes and dust-filled corners, heard the rats scurrying in the walls, and charged imaginary foes with imaginary swords.

By the time they were tired of playing, it was quite dark ; so they went into the room which they had chosen to sleep in, and into which the staircase opened from down-stairs. The storm had increased in violence, for the rain pelted like hail-stones on the roof, the lightning

flashed and the thunder roared ; so the boys huddled together in a corner and prepared to tell stories before going to sleep. They did not feel quite so brave now with the darkness all around them, and, in spite of themselves, they kept thinking of the stories they had heard of the haunted mill—how the ghosts walked at midnight and moaned and wailed, until it was no wonder that the boys jumped at every crash of the thunder and peered into the gloom at every flash of lightning, expecting to see a ghostly visitor. By and by Jack and Ed fell into a fitful slumber, but Charlie, who was very timid, continued to stare into the gloom. Suddenly he heard a noise downstairs. He jumped up to a sitting position with his ears straining, his eyes popping, and his hair standing on end. Shaking his brother and Jack in terror, he whispered tensely, ''There's somebody downstairs,—Ed, Ed, wake up, it's a ghost.' Ed and Jack awoke and looked around in fright but could see nothing in the blackness. Together they all three listened in breathless in- tensity for the noise downstairs. But silence reigned— silence so omi- nous the boys could hear their hearts beating like sledgehammers. Then the thunder crashed, and, immediately following the report, a muffled stsp was heard downstairs. Each and every hair on the heads of those three boys stood promptly at attention, their throats went suddenly dry, their hands scarcely able to feel from sheer fright clutched at the nearest boy, and six bulging eyes were riveted on the head of the stairs. Thus they sat for hours, or so they declared, awaiting the ad- they vent of his ghostly majesty ; but, as he did not appear were just !

36 NORMAL OFFERING

about to relax with a sigh when- -there it was again ! Pat, pat, pat, the dull sound of a muffled foot coming slowly up the stairs A gasp froze in their throats. Charlie crept behind his brother with a shiver, but Jack with desperate courage determined to find out whether it was a ghost or a man and so end the dreadful suspense. He caught up his gun and advanced cautiously toward the stairs. Just as he reached there, a flash of lightning illumined the room and stair-case; to his horror there was a white figure coming up. Without hesitating, he pointed the gun in its direction and with visions of "Nick Carter" heroes in his brain called out,

"Speak, or I'll fire!" Not a sound from the intruder— just the dull thud on the stairs. Jack was just making up his mind to shoot when the thunder crashed and simultaneously the gun went off. With a moan, the object fell to

the foot of the stairs ; the boys could hear the bump of the body as it struck and they knew that although it might be a man or an animal, it certainly couldn't be a ghost. The situation was now less tense with the ghost-thought elimi- nated, but what about the prospects for Jack ! He had killed a man ! One thought after another chased in rapid succession through his brain. He had committed a murder—what would his mother say—he would be arrested, imprisoned, and maybe hung. He must get away, go on a ship and escape. So, all the rest of the night, the three planned and schemed to get Jack out of the country ; it was the longest, most anxious night they had ever spent. At daybreak, they prepared to go downstairs; they wanted to leave the old mill as soon as possible, and yet they feared the sight which they knew was awaiting them—a man's dead body. Jack was excited and tremulous, but he bravely led the way to the head of the staircase, then down step by step until at last he saw in a pool of blood, the body of his victim, a white and yellow collie dog. With a cry of great relief, the boys dashed down the remaining steps, and though they felt sorry for the poor dog they also felt a great load lifted from their minds, especially Jack. After burying the dog, they started for home and you may be sure that they did not forget in a hurry the scare they had had over the ghost of the haunted mill. D. C, '18. —

Ye who love our Normal School, Love the lesson plans and note-books, Which like moon and stars from heaven Stare us in the face, on week-ends; Ye who love the Science Gardens, Love the bar-stalls and the showers, Love the class-rooms of the Mighty, Holding precious stones and minerals, Holding valuable apparatus, From which are learned the laws of physics, Holding globes and maps of all kinds, Books and toys of all descriptions, Which when seen on paper are Known to us as "demonstrations," Class-rooms holding human skeletons, which, When taken all to pieces, Teach us what we're really made of: Listen to this simple story! Told by one who ne'er has entered Through its many sacred portals, Never slept within its silent edifices, Never eaten from its tables.

At the car a Normal met me, Took me through the shopping district, By the many stores and restaurants, 'Cross the green and grassy common, Till upon her feet I noticed Shoes whose soles reached far Beyond the toe-line, But my questions soon were answered, And I learned as my first lesson That these shoes were made to march in, Made to put on in a hurry When other shoes refused to button. By a tract of land she led me, And I saw the sparkling water, Through the fir trees saw it glisten, " Whispered, " What is that, My Normal? And the Wise One bravely answered, " That is but our pond and campus, — " —

Where the pollywogs swim in springtime, Where the ice is cut in winter, To make our welcomed dish of ice cream."

'Tis but the precincts Of our faithful Medicine Woman, She, who cures all ills and sickness, With her store of yellow lemons. Proudly sat I 'mong the pillows On a soft and downy mattress, Till at length I spied before me Such a lot of funny objects, Cardboard tacked upon the bookcase, Which made my heart beat faster, faster, Cretonne bags and raffia baskets, Worked in such harmonious colors That my soul leaped up within me, Such a wonderful Normal School! Coming through the open doorway Entered Miss Ever Belated, the teacher, And she laid upon table Piles and piles of books and papers, And her happy voice cried out, "Oh! I'm just in love with Model!" Who was this! And what could this mean! Did they fall in love at Normal? " Or was this "professional spirit That I'd often heard them speak of? As the evening passed, we gossipped, Talked of all our fun and trials, Till a wondrous strange thing happened We were left in total darkness! But the Normal soon made answer,

' ' That is but a blink and warning That our beds must be our shelter." Ere upon my couch I laid me, Ere in sleep I closed my eyelids, I was thinking, thinking, thinking, Of the strange things round about me. In the morning I was wakened By a loud and noisy ringing, Coming nearer, nearer, nearer, And I jumped up from my pillow, Grabbed my clothes and ran for refuge; But my ever-ready Normal NORMAL OFFERING 39

" Said, ''Farewell, Oh Welcomed Visitor! Thus departed she, Our Visitor, In the glory of the sunset But she answered not, " Farewell forever," But instead her heart was saying, " It is not farewell to you, My Normals, But just Good-bye till next September.

OR four short years, we have been at B. N. S., and now it comes our turn to put our shoulders to the wheel and show some of the results of our labors. Three different times, we have seen others leave their Alma Mater. Each time we have thought with joy and expectancy of the future, when, as our friends were doing, we should go away, never to enter the portals of dear Old Normal. But now, as the day approaches, a lump rises in our throats, and we realize that it is, perhaps, not so joyous an occasion after all. When our class started in September, 1913, as Class D, there was a goodly number of us, but during the course, for one reason or another, all but the three of us changed and took courses of shorter duration. Last year, we were bequeathed to the coming graduating class as three able-bodied, and, it was hoped, able-minded men. Whether the testator really had any doubt as to our being able-minded is hard to say, but, at any rate, here's hoping that we're sane. As to our being able-bodied, we have certainly represented Normal a good many times in athletics. Each of us excels in some one line of sport. Brother Mahoney's fame as an athlete, is on the baseball field; Brother Sutherland has won his letter in football, baseball, and basketball; while the other member wears his letter in baseball and basketball.

As one may see from our picture, we have with us the men teachers, who have borne with us throughout our stay at B. N. S. We

needed them in our picture to make up for our lack of quantity, and

(do I hear some one say it?) lack of quality. We are the last four year class that B. N. S. is likely to produce for some time. Let us hope that we shall prove ourselves not the least.

E are told that history is the written record of civilization. How can we properly and adequately record the history of Class B? But all things must have a beginning, and so we began as a class on September 10, 1914. There were thirty of us then. Some have not been able to weather the hardships of the jour- ney, but even now we are twenty strong. In this regard we would note the six brave men who have so nobly stood the winds and gales of the course. Oh, the joys of that first year together! Although we were busy with our studies, we did have a good time. Shall you ever forget the getting settled, the awful homesickness, the acquaintance social, the first vacation, and the sing on the stairs the night before? Even now "0 methinks I can hear, "To Normal I came," "BrH 2 0," and loved Alma Mater." NORMAL OFFERING 43

Let me see, I mentioned studies. Oh yes— nature study, where in rich lessons we proved it interesting and corroborated each other's statements. In music how we shivered! There comes to my mind a refrain, "No push, no accent." Does it sound familiar to anyone else? Drawing under Miss Dorothea Davis was a delight. But physics was our strong point, was it not, Class B? Here we were daily shown a living example of originality. When in years to come we find ourselves "getting into ruts," may we be reminded of that class and the

interest gained through constant variety. Let me say in passing that we also tasted courses in physiography, reading, arithmetic, and arm movement, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. The months passed quickly by, and when June came we felt fortunate indeed to be associated with dear old Bridgewater at its seventy- fifty anniversary, when its glorious history was presented to us. We realized as never before the strength and influence of our Alma Mater. But I must hasten. The second year as C Class found us formu- lating lesson plans, trying not to confuse our (f) and (a), our (g) and (b); 44 NORMAL OFFERING studying fine harbors of our country, including Plymouth; and doing difficult grade-school problems in book-binding. But was not the joy of last year our gymnasium class, where for recreation we enjoyed obsta- cle races, especially crawling beneath the booms? At this time came our first break, part of the class taking Ameri- can Literature, the other portion, including Miss Soda Clerk, choosing Spanish. In literature how we shone— especially in the inn scene of Rip Van Winkle, Mr. Ransden acting the star role. 'Twas at this time, too, that we enjoyed a ten-word test on the Spanish- American war, so ably conducted by Miss Scherzer. Time is passing, but I must mention our C Class Day, with the walk to Carver's and the baseball game, our boys winning, of course; and later, through Miss Soper's kindness, our trip to the Boston Art Museum.

Then, too, we worked for the new building. And it is even now begun! When we return for the centennial, we shall be eating angel food in a new dining-hall. Even during the summer months our class was in our minds, for the "Round Robin " visited us in our various summering places. The beginning of the third year found our girls practice-teaching in Model School. And what busy, happy weeks they were! Class B means that " happy,' ' every bit of it, for many of us were loath to leave that invaluable experience. Of course the Grange Fair came in the fall, and we must perforce attend. A very instructive drawing-lesson followed, in which we learned to construct buildings by scale.

However busy, B Class is always ready for service and, when the call came, formed the Woodward Hall Association for the advancement of student government in the dormitories. We are glad to bequeath this work to C Class. But why the palpitations of the heart, November 13, 1916? Why, we were going out teaching. Our boys had preceded us in this practice in the fall, and were suffered to remain twenty weeks, while we could stay but ten. However, this ten weeks quickly passed and we were once more students in old Bridgewater. It was so good to be together again! But we missed one of our number, Miss Brown, who had decided to try " ' ;

NORMAL OFFERING 45 talents in another field. Although we feel that we have lost a good comrade, we wish her every succes in her work. What was our program to be? Among other things, school man- agement and advance music. But what was it we missed? Oh yes! Gym! Of course! I believe the boys took advanced mathematics. At least, we heard a great deal about pi. During this period our class made its first public appearance in — " chapel ''Murmuring Breezes —remember it girls? I am sure that we shall never forget our courses with Mr. Boyden. The inspiration and influence of his teaching can never leave us. Ten short weeks and out teaching again. After that, what? Grad- uation with its attendant joys and sorrows. But although we leave the school we can never forget and will always be the better for the friendships formed here, and we pledge our devotion to the high ideals of our Alma Mater. And so, teachers, school, and schoolmates, as Tiny Tim observed, " God bless us, every one."

Mr. Boyden— He sits high in all the people's hearts."

P. 2 and were trusty of Now we , a band four, for " all but the hardy had perished in that first terrible winter." So we four started out into a world of Mother Play and Kindergar- ten work accompanied by psychology, literature, history of education and numerous other subjects, which after many changes of time and order of occurrence, finally settled into permanent form and became known as "Our Program." For half a year we studied and admired the kindergarten, busily working out the theory. And during this time each of us, either con- sciously or unconsciously, specialized in some one part of the subject. One of us was very proficient in clay modeling, another was noticeably original in her method of reproducing life-objects in sewing, a third NORMAL OFFERING 49 worked out something entirely new in cutting, while a fourth majored in balance,— the bilateral variety to be sure. Having acquired all this theory, one bright day in January we began the actual practice. And many things those first few days revealed to us. We had thought that we knew how to give a good spicy gift exercise, flavored with the play spirit. But woe to some of us who underestimated the value of that magic flavoring; those first exercises of ours were decidedly flat and tasteless. But time and

patience,— oh no, not our patience—soon helped us gain more judgment and skill, so that by the end of our second year we felt quite efficient. All this we accomplished in two short years, and now came our last. Three of us took our first peep at that great unknown and awe- some "Model," during those first ten weeks, while the other member of our class had the delightfully new sensation of really opening a kindergarten, where she was to teach all by herself. Later, each of us had the pleasure of carrying on the work she had begun. And, truly, ' '

50 NORMAL OFFERING we shall long remember those children who became in turn our Charles, our Aldo, and our Sophie. So, looking back on the three long years, we can but decide that they were well worth while. The more so, as they gave us those two faithful friends, whom we have seen, during that time, living our school ideal, "Not to be Ministered unto but to Minister/

A dozen of us strong friends and true Came together this year as K. P. II, Loyal to Normal, Alma Mater so dear, United we've stood all through the year.

From that first day, with thoughtful care, Each other's woes and joys we'd share; And birthday luncheons we would hold As one by one our friends grew old.

In literature our souls soared high; (To hear us read would make you sigh.) In "psyche " class we did our best By writing themes on " Interest.

In blackboard sketching then we'd try To match the colors of the sky, And make white snow appear as blue, And have an eye for perspective, too.

Doll-houses were our chief delight; On those we worked both day and night. In "gym." we became both strong and lusty, For we did as told by—Enebuske.

Froebelian theory we were taught, And oft with weary minds we sought Endless knowledge, —it would seem, All for the sake of a Mother Play theme.

Then came the weary days of " Model," When we sighed for the wisdom of our friend Froebel. But united we've stood the whole year through, The illustrious class of K. P. II. 52 NORMAL OFFERING

IHemoripa of &?ntar iaija.

iINCE the weather was rainy, and I had nothing more stren-

uous to do, I decided to seize the opportunity to pore over the old books in the garret. What was my surprise to find an old half-forgotten memory-book, the pasting of which

I remember had caused both Miss Beckwith and me many anxious thoughts. It represented all the important events of my senior year, at least what seemed to me important in those remote days. As

I looked over the pages, I was immediately lost in memories of the past. The first thing that greeted my eye was the unique card about the Acquaintance Social. It was entitled "Let Mirth and Joy reign in the Dear Old Ark." Well do I remember the fun we had that evening getting acquainted with our bashful friends, the juniors. How soon they recovered from that bashfulness! Next to the card, I saw a slip containing the word "Ape." At first this puzzled me, then I remembered that upon entering the gymnasium each person was given a slip 54 NORMAL OFFERING

containing the name of some animal. I felt happy when I remembered that these were given out indiscriminately. Thus with fun and cheer- fulness our happy year as seniors began.

Next on the page was a Normal Football Schedule for 1916. I shall never forget what fine support we gave the team. Most of us had laryn- gitis the next day from giving our very original cheers, under the fine leadership of our cheer leader. Beside this was a football pledge for twenty-five cents, which helped buy some player a suit.

I was beginning to think it was purely social events I had recorded, when I came across a digest which recalls " History of Ed." It was something about Comenius, containing many long and unintelligible words, which I really understood in those days. Next to this was a " lesson plan." Oh those dear old Model-School days! How we loved to go back at four o'clock every afternoon, while our more fortunate friends were taking long and invigorating hikes, or were down in the "Central Square" eating pie. Of course we were gaining many points in the line of pedagogy, while our friends were perhaps getting indigestion.

Turning the page, I saw a very neat envelope, containing an invi- tation to an "At Home" given by Mrs. Newell, Miss Judge, and the New Student Committee in Woodward Hall. I remember what a fine " time I had inspecting the Juniors' rooms. The rooms of the " dorm were never so clean. All unsightly objects were slipped under the couches, where prying eyes could not find them. On the opposite page a "pink slip" to commemorate those happy "out-teaching" days. What wise-looking, haughty, self-satisfied per- sonages we were, or thought we were, running for our train every morning, with our doctor's bags. But Miss Moffit and Miss Newton were our Scylla and Charybdis during those days. What tales we had to tell of the funny sayings of Johnnie, Mary, et al. Sometimes we were laden with fruit, candies, weeds, etc., presented to us by our admiring pupils. We began to believe that we really could teach, and were so much superior to the Juniors,

" And still the wonder grew, That our swelled heads could carry all we knew."

Next came a basketball schedule. We certainly enjoyed those games every Saturday night, especially the rush over after our baked- NORMAL OFFERING 55

bean dinner, to get front seats, which often proved dangerous to our physical welfare. We certainly were the salvation of the players, when they needed safety pins and handkerchiefs, which we willingly gave. Our cheers and songs were as original and clever as our football ones. One soiled piece of paper was almost overlooked, when it proved to be a day's order copied from Enebuske. I almost needed glasses to

read it. It came from some one's gym. suit pocket. It came in handy when we were called on to give a ''five-minute exercise for Grade V." Just then a loud ring at the door-bell called me back with a start from the past to the present; so I put aside my book until another rainy day.

But ask any Bridgewater Normal student what this word means to her (or him), and accompanied by a wry face the answer will speedily be given: " The freaks at school."

For such is the distinction we bear. So often is it impressed upon us, indeed, we have come to have a rather sentimental attachment to the epithet, and not willingly would we part with it. We find ourselves branded by popular opinion as: 72 NORMAL OFFERING

'Specially Peculiar Eccentric Criticised Isolated Ancient Learned and Scorned Who would disdainfully discard such an array of qualifying adjectives?

When other subjects fail, there is always one to be found of common interest to all; namely, the extreme age of these " Specials. " The majority of us manage to get to our classes without the use of canes,

but we find it rather difficult to have to ascend and descend the flights of stairs as continuously as we are obliged to do; in fact, one of our number fell prostrate on the lower landing the first day of school. Yet even as Methuselah was proud, no doubt, of the ripe old age to which he had attained, so we succeed in enjoying our advanced years. We find ourselves burdened with the reputation of having had vast NORMAL OFFERING 73 experience. Whatever we may have had has not been so great, however, as to prevent us from gaining much from our work here at the

Bridgewater Normal School. We wish the " Specials' ' next year as enjoyable a year as we have had! As to the validity of our reputation, you may judge for yourselves from the following facts which we dis- close of our past: Lillian E. Boyden is a graduate of the Brockton High School, 1909. Since then she has been teaching music; in the summers of 1915 and

1916 she was engaged in Settlement Work. She is especially interested in kindergarten work and has been taking the "K. P." course this year. Blanche G. Carey was graduated from the B. M. C. Durfee High School in Fall River, class of 1912. She has taught at Myricks and Middleboro and has taken special courses at North Adams. She intends to become a supervisor of music.

Vahan F. Chituni is from Van, Turkey, where he graduated from the American High School. For two years he taught in the German Grammar School of the same place, after which he spent one year at the Springfield International College. He is completing his second year at Bridgewater and intends to continue his work in chemistry.

Eda M. Coleman is a graduate of the Nantucket High School and also of Bryant and Stratton's Business College in Boston. For the summers of 1910, 1911-1916 she has studied at the Hyannis State Nor- mal School and for six years she has taught in Nantucket. Katharine Eberhardt graduated in 1914 from the Arlington High School. She attended Jackson College 1914-1915, and Simmons 1915- 1916, at the latter place studying household economics. She is very much interested in school gardening.

Edward S. Feeney graduated from the Brockton High School in 1911 and from Holy Cross College in 1915. He intends to go to the Harvard Medical School.

Lucy I. Hutchinson is a graduate of St, Johnsbury Academy (1907) and has attended summer sessions at the Johnson (Vt.) and Castleton (Vt.) Normal Schools; also the Bridgewater Normal School 1913-1914. She has taught in St. Johnsbury, Vt., and Dartmouth, Mass.

Thomas Lyons is a graduate of the Weymouth High School (1912) and of Boston College (1916). He is interested in teaching Latin and French. 74 NORMAL OFFERING

EPTEMBER 1916, the members of Class C gathered with the other classes in Assembly Hall, once again to assume the tasks of students and to cultivate if possible a professional attitude, necessary to one desiring to instruct the minds of the youthful. Our first duty was to get acquainted with each other for we had come from six junior sections. This was not difficult, and soon two members of the faculty said " Class C is working together" —they were right; we worked together many hours over lesson plans, never however after 10.15 p. m. We studied literature and spent many pleasant hours with this subject. Although we did not always get the underlying thoughts in- volved in Browning and Shelley, the Specials and members of K. P. 2 often came to the rescue, for which we render due thanks. The dramatic art displayed here at times would please William Shakespeare.

' Each morning about 10. 15 came the question, ' What do we have 76 NORMAL OFFERING

in geography?" The almost certain reply was, " I don't know." So in we went trembling, but one member was always more than willing to expound his knowledge on the subject and thus the reputation of Class C concerning Capricon and the summer solstice was saved. What rivalry here existed between Cape Cod and Cape Ann as to which was actually on the map! " To-morrow you will have a one word test " was a warning frequ- ently given during our history course, and gradually we grew to love the long slender slips of paper. Current events were called for daily. Some perhaps were sorry when the " Deutschland " actually sailed and the "Ninth " returned from the border. These were most convenient topics to use. If any of our readers fall heirs to large estates and are puzzled to know the best plan for making gardens, Class C has a large supply, passed by the board of censorship, which they gladly submit. If the same readers wish cooks, eight girls stand ready for positions. The course in domestic science was elective and eight of the class marched boldly to the front in starched uniform. As a whole, the class loves gymnastics and looks forward eagerly to the hour when it approacheth. With deepest regret we expect to leave it in June. These subjects, together with manual training and drawing, constitute our course for the first half of the year. Now in addition to these we are struggling to achieve a mental concept of Methods and are showing how well we can behave in civics.

This is but a glimpse of school curriculum, as such, and before I close let me make special mention of the men of the class. No more studious, hardworking, unselfish men can be found in any class in any institution. Their afternoons during the first part of the year were very full, and I would congratulate them upon their strength to with- stand the strain.

Though we have seen the humorous side of all, we see clearly the serious. We realize that ours are minds which are to instruct others and which must therefore reach the highest degree of efficiency, intel- lectually and morally. This we are striving to attain, for

"In storm or in sunshine, Whatever assail We'll onward and conquer, And never say fail." NORMAL OFFERING 77

|N September 7, 1916, one hundred and eighty-seven self- confident Juniors left home for the Bridgewater Normal School. Why shouldn't they be confident? They were going to begin their course as Juniors, not Freshmen, as they had begun in high school, and of course they would not be green and unsophisticated. But, when they reached Bridge- water, they were not so wise as they thought they would be. They didn't know what to do or where to go, but through the guidance and helpful care of the New Student Committee, they managed to survive the first day. They were sure that if the New Student Committee had not been at the trains and cars to meet them, some would never have reached the school. The Juniors wondered what the New Student Committee was, and why there was a new one, and what had become of the Old Student Committee. They were soon informed by their wise and intelligent elders that there never was an Old Student Committee, for old students did not need to be looked after. Whether they did or

not is a question. NORMAL OFFERING 79

As soon as they had become fairly settled, the class officers were elected, and with Mr. Casey at its head the Junior Class of 1916-'17 set out on its illustrious career. The Juniors found that Normal School was much different from high school and they found that they must rely upon themselves more than formerly. They were professional women and men now, and must "lay aside childish things.'' They learned many new things, and had many new experiences. For the first few days, they felt as

Mary Cary did f for it seemed as if they got up by bells, ate by bells, and went to bed by bells, only in the latter case it was blinks. The Juniors learned that study hour was for study, not for spreads and for general good times, and woe be to the poor Junior who ventured to trespass on the rules of the dormitory. Now they study all through study hour like regular grinds, or, to put it a little less harshly, like interested future school-ma'ams. When the beginning of the second half-year came, some of the Juniors were allowed to observe in the Model School. How proudly they announced to their less fortunate classmates that they were going to observe! Why they were almost "in Model." The Juniors have not spent all their energy in studying, for they formed hockey teams, and they gave the Seniors much amusement as they hit the ground, their shins, anything but the balls, and proudly carried their hockey sticks over their shoulders. After the beginning of the second term, basketball teams from the different divisions were formed, and many an exciting game has been played in the gymnasium. Though the Juniors have made mistakes and blunders, they have certainly improved and advanced in all their lines of study. They feel now that they are at Normal for a definite purpose, and that they are learning more and more what is expected of them as future teachers.

As the class is still in its youth, and has been organized for only a short time, it has not had time to show fully what it can do, but next year, when it is a Senior Class, it will accomplish great things. Flora Wilmarth. 80 NORMAL OFFERING

Junior L

|UNIOR I, we would let you know, is a remarkable class. The talent which is encompassed by the aforementioned appellation will shine in ever-increasing radiance as the years roll by. Time alone will tell. Already we are famed

for never having anything done, at least when it is called for, and for not having ''settled down." We are lively, we admit, when we get started. Our first few days at Normal were terrors —for us. All else, teachers and upper classmen, seemed to enjoy our discomfiture. The men trembled and flushed and perspired when called on, and our teacher of reading politely informed them that she "would have them doing anything before she got through with them." Oh horrors! We all believe her— now. The girls were less flustered, and were not sparing of criticism for the stronger sex. One young lady informed a young gentleman that he would do better if he were not so frightened. Gradually we learned the names of our classmates, always prefixed by Mr. or Miss, however. Two students entered the class some days after school opened. These two we could treat with that superior air of interested condescension which the upper classmen displayed toward us. This soon wore out, and now we are all equal. Our teachers interested us a great deal during our unsophisticated period, but soon we discovered all their qualities, at least we think we did. The far famed "miracle man " made us gasp several times, and many more. The fathomless pockets and the never-ending stream of equipment which flows from "the hole in the wall" are unceasing sources of wonder. Our chemistry teacher's interest in the ceiling over the corner window was a cause of much mystification, until we discovered that occasionally an attractive "Normal" student " in Model" could be seen from that point of vantage. Force of habit, perhaps. A collection of half-grown, half-dessicated, odoriferous specimens of plant life in the Nature Study room was productive of some thought as to why they should be there. It also caused the habit of averting noses in the immediate neighborhood, and the appearance of several brands of perfumes. Soon after, we were relieved of two dollars each as a first course in the development of our "aesthetic sense of art." —

NORMAL OFFERING 81

In the lower regions— call them what you will— we were further relieved of the care of one-half the former sum for the privilege of learning the art of daubing one's clothes with paste. We also learned that paste is sticky, and a large adhesive surface is harder to manage than an "ornery" mule. Our first penmanship lesson made us aspir- ants for a Donerian certificate but since then we have become more sensible.

All through our eventful career, and it has been eventful, we have learned many and marvelous things. For instance: Scene—Nature Study room. Time—the pre-noon period. Characters—the teacher, all students attentive and otherwise, mostly otherwise. Brief summary —the poor unsuspecting grasshopper is being discussed, by some principally the teacher—and all thoughts are circumnavigated by the belt, when a student becomes aware of a far-away question, which is driven home by his name, and then he awakes. " What has an adult grasshopper on his back, Mr. Murphy?" 'Why— er—his skin." The enlightened and hilarious class, wonder—and laugh mildly—at the learning of their fellow-student. We were also enlightened during our physics course by a lady member of our distinguished class. Mr. Jackson:— "Miss Cote, will you step forward and explain leverage?" The aforementioned maid trips jauntily to a place of security behind the bench, picks up a pair of pliers, and, after manipulating them vigorously, announces: "This is a nut-cracker." The assistant supervisor of drawing will remember the many happy hours which she spent with Junior I. We told her, as a class and unanimously, many strange and wonderful tales. They rival the "Arabian Nights." On one occasion we paused with pencil raised over notebook to receive our next lesson. We received such a consign- ment that we gasped and paused in amazement, when from the rear of the room, came a fervent and indignant, "Oh! my soul!' Such an uproar, such a tale as we concocted never was, never is, and never again will be heard. Now we have been in school for one whole term, and are approach- ing the retrospect of a whole year. We are no longer Miss So-and-So or Mr. What's-his-name, but "Don" and "Leo" and "Joe" and —

82 NORMAL OFFERING

"Chris" and "Bunny" and "Em" and "K" and "B" and so on to the end of time—also to the end of the list. Next year we shall be able to look upon the newcomers as our proteges, and we shall begin to think of "Model" and "out teachin' " and "Psychie" and " Hist'ry of Ed." and finally we shall step out of the Bridgewater Normal as Soldiers of Education, and can march on to Victory and Success—some, however, to the culmination of all their hopes, desires and ideals, Matrimony.

^^HIS year's Normal Dramatic Club started in the autumn as a ill wholly untrained club with no members from last year to render their valuable assistance. Notwithstanding this drawback, the Club has already proved itself capable of upholding the standards set by the Dramatic Clubs of previous years. Instead of giving a Shakespearean play in January and a lighter 88 NORMAL OFFERING play in the spring, the Club, this year, changed the usual order of events and gave the first play December 15, 1916. This was "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens. At this play the Glee Club rendered excellent assistance by singing Christmas carols. In spite of the fact that a severe snowstorm raged during the evening, the play was well attended and thoroughly enjoyed by all.

On February 2, 1917, the Club invited the members of the Normal School and friends to hear Mrs. Elizabeth Pooler Rice read "Cousin Kate." The recital was held in the Normal Assembly Hall. After this, a reception was given to the Faculty and former members of the Dramatic Club in the Albert Gardner Boyden Gymnasium that they might meet Mrs. Rice. Rehearsals have already begun for Shakespeare's "As You Like It," which the Club plans to produce in April. As in former years, Miss Moffitt's untiring efforts make the ladder on which the Club is climbing to success. M. A. S.

U began enthusiastically in September, with the work fJJ* IT* ^* of the New Student Committee under the leadership of Miss Dickinson. The Acquaintance Social was held the first Friday of the school year. Nature helped us give our social, the "Noah's Ark Party,'' by contributing an appropriate setting of down- falls of rain. The party filled its mission, old students met new students, Mr. and Mrs. Boyden, and the rest of the faculty in an informal, enjoyable way. We have been fortunate in securing excellent speakers, good leaders, and good music for our Sunday evening meetings. The New Membership Committee has worked faithfully, and has added nearly one hundred new members to the Union this year. We are striving to make this last half-year even more successful than the first half has been. 92 NORMAL OFFERING

N Monday evening, September 4, all the three-year girls in the (6 New Dormitory were summoned to meet Mrs. Newell and dis- cuss an organization for establishing self-government in the dormitory. Mr. Boyden and Mrs. Newell had discussed and decided upon such an organization as being the best means of obtaining better order and more dignity among the students than there had hitherto been. The aim of the association was to establish friendship, loyalty, and cooperation among the students. The association was organized shortly afterwards and named ''The Woodward Hall Association." Meetings are held once a week, or oftener if necessity arises, and all subjects are thoroughly discussed. At the beginning of the second semester, representatives from each class were elected as members of the Executive Committee. A set of regulations was drawn up and posted, and has thus far been well carried out, owing to the interest and cooperation of all, especially of the proctors. A great deal of good work has been done this year, but there is still much for our successors to accomplish.

HE season of 1916 saw Normal again represented on the gridiron, by one of the best teams she has ever turned out. Her efforts were very successful, considering the handicap under which she labored. Manager McDonough arranged one of the hardest schedules Normal has ever had, and, as several of the boys were out practice-teaching, they were unable to get back for football practice. This proved a drawback for the team, but Capt. Sheehan kept his men at work, and the result was gratifying. Carmichael at left-end proved a good man for the position, hard pushed by Casey. Berman at left-tackle was a tower of strength on the line. Cleary, a new man at left-guard also proved his worth, and will be a good man for next year's team. Chituni, at center, put up a stonewall defense, besides playing a sterling offensive game. Du Bois, a veteran at right guard, proved himself one of the best linesmen that ever 96 NORMAL OFFERING

represented Normal. Of Crocker, let it be sufficient to say, that he was a star man in every game. McDonough, the veteran end for two years, broke up all kinds of end plays. Sutherland and Bearse at quarter took care of that position in fine fashion. Sutherland was severely injured in the Brockton game and had to retire for the rest of the season. Sargent was one of the most consistent ground gainers in the backfield. Mcllwraith made repeated gains by his bursts of speed. Of Captain Sheehan at full back, too much cannot be said. Harvard may have had her Mahan, and Brown her Pollard, but give us Jack Sheehan every time. His strength and playing ability will always be remembered. The line-up was as follows:

Of all the flowers in gardens rare, I pluck the Violet with thought and care. I love its modest blushing bloom, Its breathing warmth of sweet perfume.

Yes, I love you most of all, Tender, lovely, soulful, small. You seem to know and feel with me The things I miss, I long to see.

I wait your coming in the spring, Inspirer, reminder of sacred things; Oh hold and keep me in your heart, That I may never from you part.

And when the world seems cold and drear, I'll turn to you for love and cheer, And may I always find you glad, To lift me from my wanderings sad. —Gladys Warren Radebaugh. NORMAL OFFERING 97

There were It is easily understood why Normal was so three catchers, all of them in the first rank,— Wright, Burke, and DuBois; there were three good pitchers, —Sutherland, Sargent, and Andrews; and the other positions were also filled by good players.

ASKETBALL during the season of 1916- , 17 was a success, everything being taken into consideration. Nine games were played, the Normal boys winning five, and losing four. The most exciting game was that with the Went- worth Institute team of Boston. It was necessary to play five minutes overtime because the score was a tie at the end of the second half. Wentworth was the victor, 28-27, in a game which was hotly contested from the start, keeping the spectators on edge while the contest went on. The team lined up for the first contest as follows

Forward, —Sutherland and Macllwraith. Center,— Captain Mack. Backs,—Burke and Crocker. 100 NORMAL OFFERING

Sargent was also used very effectively in some games, and Sheehan came out after the New Year, adding much strength to the team. The Normal team played in conjunction with the Bridgewater

; Club, and some excellent basketball was seen on the 'gym" floor. With the exception of Mcllwraith, the players of the first team will all graduate. There is, however, some promising material in Du Bois, Ray, McDonough, Barton, Carmichael, and many first year men. A strong team should be in evidence next season, as Mcllwraith furn- ishes an excellent nucleus. The schedule follows:

Hall, March 2, 1917, the drama "The Colonel's Maid."

With much credit to Miss Moffitt, who directed the play, it was a decided success. Col. Robert Rudd and Col. Richard Byrd are two mortally antagonistic gentlemen, having fought a duel for a lady's hand in which Colonel Rudd was successful. Colonel Byrd is blessed with a charming daughter, Marjorie, and Colonel Rudd with a free and independent sort of son, Bob. Bob meets Marjorie at a popular watering place and becomes acquainted with Colonel Byrd under an assumed name. Ching-a-ling has trouble with his domestic duties at the home of Colonel Rudd, and it becomes necessary to procure a maid. Bob arranges to have Marjorie become the maid, but under the name of Hannah Katzenjammer. Mrs. John J. Carroll, the young lady over whom the two gentlemen fought the duel and who became, not the wife, but the sister-in-law of Colonel Rudd is forever criticising the 102 NORMAL OFFERING

Colonel's kitchen. Mrs. Carroll has a charming daughter, Julia, whom she desires to marry Bob, but Julia is in love with Ned Graydon a friend of Bob's. Colonel Byrd, returning from a business trip to the North, finds that his daughter has disappeared. Detectives trace her to the house of Colonel Rudd. Colonel Byrd accuses Colonel Rudd of kidnapping his daughter, and immediately revives the old quarrel. Colonel Byrd has the liberty of the house, but he cannot find his daughter Marjorie, who eludes him with the assistance of Ching. Ned Graydon visits the house as the guest of Bob, in the role of a drummer, and many humorous events take place, owing to his faulty memory. Colonel Rudd wishes Bob to marry Julia, but Bob desires to wed Marjorie. Colonel Rudd disinherits Bob. Bob and Marjorie, Ned and Julia elope and are successful. Colonel Byrd finds that Mrs. Carroll is not the wife of Colonel Rudd and begins at once his old suit for her hand. Vahan Chituni as Ching-a-ling was easily the star of the play. His characterization of a Chinese cook was excellent and provoked much applause. The feminine roles were assumed by Dick Barton, Al Du Bois, and Jack Sheehan. Sheehan made a motherly widow of middle age, and Al Du Bois was his lovable daughter. Dick Barton resem- bled Ethel Barrymore, the popular Metro star. Frank Mahoney as Ned Graydon was as natural as life. Dick Ransden, as Lawyer Bas- com, added dignity to the occasion. Tom McDonough and Ed Berman were in the heavy roles and took their difficult parts with great success.
