22 NORMAL OFFERING We have just as many good times as we've always had. This year we have several celebrated people among us. There's Annie. She is going to be a Victor artist some day, and favors us with an exquisite rendering of scales from three-thirty to five-thirty every day. And Mary has acquired a uke, and strums it in a most ravish- ing manner. Estelle keeps us in constant turmoil with her passion for hiding tooth-brushes. The two Gerts, affectionately known as Tippy and Toppy, keep us well supplied with current literature. Sometimes, among us all, there are perfectly thrilling water battles, dramatic scenes from well-known authors, the thrill that comes from ghostly calls, whose origin we cannot discover, and . . . Oh yes, of course we're quiet occasionally. We all have to study. At our House Meetings we have very solemn and dignified discus- sions, Cand usually a good time afterwardsj. If any one wants any money for pianos, or any other little thing, Normal Hall's always ready to help. The afternoon Chocolate which we gave for the Woodward Piano fund was very successful. Oh Beth! Mother's calling, and I haven't told you half that I'd like to. Please call again, won't you? 'Byel WOULDN'T IT BE FUNNY- -f--Izzy Marshall wouldn't smile. if-Betty Rankin walked a mile. If-Anna Brady grew seven feet tall. If-Ruth Somers grew so small. if-Teddy Silva became so meek. -f-Peg May would never speak. if-Mary Hubbard's hair were bobbed. If-Betty Savage ever sobbed. -f all these things should soon come true, It would be funny, I think, don't you? B. G.

After four years spent within the sacred walls of our Alma Mater, it is fitting that we pause to look back upon the experiences which have been ours. So numerous and varied are these experi- ences that, obviously, all cannot be included in this account. How- ever, the milestones in Class Ais journey will each be given a place. The journey began on September 15, 1920, when forty-eight people, known as Classes C and D, entered Bridgewater Normal School. We proved to be good travellers and in a few days were initiated into the joys of our course and were developing crushes, a type of disease frequently encountered on this journey and one which lasted until the end of the trip. Our first shyness wore off, and we bravely faced arithmetic, where we were given Latin quotations to translate, and music, where we were permitted either to render solos or to conduct group singing. This first part of the journey was en- livened by socials, picnics, and hikes, so almost before we realized it, the summer vacation arrived, and the first stage of our journey was over. 1 The second part of our travelling was under the illustrious ban- ner of Class C, so well-known during the year of 1921-22. We made a famous history scrapbook which will guide many future classes
