P. U., W. A. A., '23-'24, You were a quiet body when you came to us, but, no! times haven't changed, but Virginia has. We don't regret it, we approve. When anyone wants a reliable, capable piece of work done, Virginia, ever re- sponsible and trustworthy, came to the front. The third year she nearly burned the telephone wires out of com- mission with constant use. That, too, we most gracious- ly forgive. Who else could have taken care of Prom. business as efficiently as 'Ginia? Lastly, the fourth year, and all its joys. GILMAN, JENNIE BERENICE, 1039 Washington Street, ' North Abington, Mass. Glee Club, 1922-'24. From Ab- ington came this maid to our midst. Jennie believes wholly in thinking before leaping. A deliberate young lady to say the least. In Glee Club Jennie is the solo- ist of note. We do enjoy sweet contralto voices, Jennie B. She is not a noisy girl, but modest and unassum- ing. Jennie, explain this, please. In psychology, fourth year, you announced in reply to instructor's question upon experiment with hens . . . Not having been a chicken . . . Jennie! By this time she has all the rec- ognized principles of education firmly in hand. She even went back during visiting day at Brockton High School, to glean a few more facts. Good luck to you in v x E the future, classmate. ,.,.,,,,,., ,.,,,,.,, .,,,5.,,,,,,,,, ,,:,,,,,,, ::, b pn - GOODE, ANNA KATHERINE, 11 Fairview Avenue, Ran- . qoqvvw-Nnisv-uaN-X ' N Ei.:-1:EQ5:::E1E'7:7:SFIZ5!lfZ'I7I :Z'27 .:ZIii -' 3I ':'v 1 .N .

Anna K. is one whom we all know, and whom we all like She is as her name suggests, good, ' but remember, we must not be simply good, but good . Ihq, A for something. Ever cheerful, jolly and gay is she, with a broad smile for all of her friends, short and tall, thick and thin. She believes that a lighted candle hid- den under a bushel box in a dark room is one of no 'value. One day during a visit to psychology, she be- came acquainted with Divided Attention and ever --iiz .,,, f.- izif since, she has carried the idea artfully to all of her classes. GOODVVIN, HENRY RUSSELL, 10 Lincoln Street, Brook- so field, Mass. Kappa Delta Phi, manager of basketball, 1921-'22, '22-'23, football, 1922-'23. The door opened, out stepped a young man and looked around. The door behind him bangs and suddenly there appears around the corner of Normal Hall a HO, Hen-can you lend me a pencil? I simply must have one to score a game be- tween the Who Doos and the Whirlwinds, Sure, but I've only got one and of course-but then I'll cut it in half for you, so Henry pulls out an old love letter, and from the deep recesses of an inner pocket, a pencil. He requests Anna to hold both ends of it and proceeds to inform her he can magically break it with his paper -which trick he triumphantly accomplishes, while she watches carefully and then looks up quizzically to say, How'd you do it, Hen?

It isn't every class that can boast of a bird, particularly our kind of a songster. She's very small--but-you should know her. Birdie never misses a humorous point, and in fact always supplies us with some. May I mention the much discussed subject of crushes To have a crush or not to have one-is that your attitude Birdie? We'll have a conference concerning that problem. Be sure to organize an ultimate and proximate aim. Never Birdie, during your forty odd years of teaching forget the Thursday morning aesthetic dancing class, pas de basques and all. . BRADY, ANNA MORGAN, 208 James Street, New Bedford, c A Mass. Library Club,, Secretary, '21-'22, Glee Club, '20-'22, Dramatic Club, '22-'24, O. I. C., '20-'23, President, '22-'23, W. A.

Anna Brady, though a member at some time or another of practically every organization in school, manages, with no apparent ef- fort, to keep on the honor roll, while her brilliant re- partie keeps her classmates amused during study periods. But Anna has won that supreme victory-that co-ordination between mind and body which is the goal of the whole Normal School. E X N N x Pi 2,39 'X Weiss,- y -kg. 0 .sff?5Q::-g5::5::,::.

Glee Club, 1920-'24, Class Prophet, Cap- tain of A Basketball, 1924. f'Buzz is the one hope of Class A when it comes to long distance traveling,- whether on foot, by canoe, or in the flivver. VVas it not this same Buzz that made possible the reflected glory which enveloped the whole class, when she hiked from coast to coast in the summer of 1922? The tales of the hike provided us with material for wonder all the next year But do not Judge from this that all and Modern Problems she was often a ray of light, much to the relief of the rest of the class. i ..,..... . a frff I - ',', ' ':., li.'.. . - , , , , ,I Buzz's talent runs to hiking.

Isn't she our Modern Problem shark? Gertrude came to us from Lowell Normal School, September, 1922, and was a welcomed addition to B. N. S. If Gert. is a fair representative of Lowell Normal girls, we certainly can admire our Lowell sisters. During her first year at B. N. S. Gert. made many friends in the classes with which she associated,-one especially who comes back week- ends to see her. .

NORMAL OFFERING 29 HARRIS, MYRTLE FELISE, 637 crescent street, Brock- ton, Mass. Hereis to the mathematics shark of Class A! Whether it was arithmetic, algebra, geometry or trigon- ometry, Myrtle never had to puzzle long over the solu- tion. Even when we each had to choose some one sub- ject as our special topic in Modern Problems, Myrtle choose math., and could discuss fifteen or more authors of arithmetic texts with the greatest ease. Then, too, this girl has a failing for composition, and likes nothing better than to deliver fifteen or twenty minute oral themes to a class of absorbed listeners. In fact, there isn't a study that Myrtle does not do well, and we realize that her abilities along all lines will soon be recognized in her future work. HUNT RUTH ELIZABETH, 57 Spring Hill Avenue, Bridgewater, Mass. Glee Club, 1921-'22-'23, Dramatic Club, 1923-'24, Library Club, 1922, W. A. A., 1923-'24, Class President, 1924, Student Council Representative, 19245 Normal Offering Board, 1922-'23-'24, Huntie is our carefree, ever smiling class president. She is always ready for work or play with equal zest and en- thusiasm. However, her one failing is her inability to remember where she leaves things. She is ever and always looking for her assignment note book, pen, pen- cil, coat, glasses, etc.,-in fact, anything she finds neces- sary to carry around with her. The other day in history we read about The Great African Hunt. Now Ruth claims to be its only living descendant, so we think it quite appropriate that henceforth she shall be known as Congo Hunt. REED ALDEN South Street, Bridgewater, Mass. This KENT, MARGUERITE MARY, 167 South Main Street, West Bridgewater, Mass. O. I. C., 1920-'22, Train Stu- dent Government Association, 192O-'21g Debating So- ciety, 1922, W. A. A., 1923-'24. Maggie! Yes'm. Put away that Hanen! Of course, Margaret would be reading outside references for History, when we are struggling through our necessary assignment. But since her arrival at B. N. S. that has been a character- istic of her's-always in the lead. Will we ever for- get our study of curricula? Naturally we studied the West Bridgewater course of study. Why not? Many good things come from that direction, and Modern Problems is our pride and joy. This remarkable girl has gone safely through four years with not a crush! young man was admitted to the distinguished and very exclusive Class A in September, 1923. He was with us only part of the year because he had to have the pleas- ure of outside training for one semester. Although he was only one in number added to the class, he was equal to several in noisiness. Has anyone an opinion to ex- press on the subject? The whole class settles back for a rest confident that Reed would have the floor for some time to come. He never let an opportunity to ex- press his opinion slip by. In Math. he was a shark. He delighted in arguing a point with the instructor and had the distinction of not being Hfloored' several times. We also remember him as the contributor of many valuable bits of information and interesting illustrations in our sociology class. .1
