10 NORMAL OFFERING iiihitnrial RADUATION time! What does this mean? To the Juniors and undergraduates, it is a time of anticipation. Something Won- derful is going to happen to the Seniors! The day finally arrives when the Seniors experience the glorious feeling of having at last attained the goal for which they have been striving. Neverthe- less, to all the graduating members, it is a time when with all its gaiety, there is also inevitably a little tinge of sadness. In the midst of the preparations for graduation, comes the NORMAL OFFERING. Here, dear Seniors, is the book that will dispel that touch of sadness by recalling the good times you have had and the many friends you have made.

The cup, suitably engraved, has been placed in the Library with the cup of last year, which was won by the same class. The Board wishes to extend to Mr. Philander A. Gay its apprecia- tion and thanks for his contribution to the NORMAL OFFERING. The account, the picture of the district school, and the picture of the pupils, when Mr. Gay was himself a pupil there, will prove very interesting to the students of Bridgewater Normal School, who, when they go out to begin their work in the world, will continue to keep alive that Bridgewater Spirit of which he speaks. The Editor-in-Chief also wishes to express her appreciation and sincerest thanks for the help given her by the following people: The Board extends its appreciation to Miss Peirce, Faculty Adviser, for her constant help and advice. The encouragement of Miss Prevost and Miss Nye, in regard to the art work, is greatly appreciated by the Board. We offer our sincere thanks to Miss Bradford for her kind assist- ance in the French section. The work and untiring efforts of the Assistant Editor, Miss. Dickinson, have been greatly appreciated. It has been a great pleasure to work with such a willing and capable group as the Associate Editors have been. Much praise is due the Photograph Editor, Miss White, and the Art Editors, Misses Nash, Mclsaac, Daniels, Yates, Minott, Brask, and Veazie for their untiring efforts and great accomplishments. We have been very fortunate indeed to have such capable and effi- cient Business Managers as Miss Marble and her Assistant, Mr. Maclauchlan, to work with us. We heartily extend our thanks to all the members of the Student Body, who contributed material. THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF.
