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

Secretary Class A, 1923-'24, Class Historian, ,24, Library Club, Publicity Committee, '20-'22, Hos- pitality Committee, '21, Tennis Club, '20-'23, Student Council, '23-'24, Normal Board, '23-'24, Y. 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 . Q X . x ,Q K Q - . vw dolph, Mass. W. A. A., 1923-'24, From the town of Randolph came laughing blue-eyed Anna to prove to us that although she was small in stature, she was not in brains. 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?

30 NORMAL OFFERING HISTORY. TO B OR NOT TO B Joys of Reunions! Who does not enjoy a reunion? The first B Sociable was held the first Monday we were back at Normal. This was, I am afraid, a rather noisy affair-but what heartfelt reunion isn't? To relieve our sense of a responsibility to others, the B's de- cided to have an exclusive, informal affair on Friday night. And have it we did. Round Robins of the two classes were read and side- splitting information unearthed. November to B2 meant Model School, consequently very little hockey. Disappointment? The B's had borne the blunts of many sharp blows. But who cares now how many afternoon sessions were missed as long as Class B tied with its protege the C Class for school honors. R p ' Q Who was it said, He is either a leader or misleader of men who is brought into this world without that guiding, restraining balance wheel known as a sense of humor. Let us hope none of our number survived Model,' without developing, at least a teeny weeny bit of sense of humor. . Shhhh! 'Tis our skeleton that is being drawn forth-that dreadful day that we misbehaved in Chapel. Our appointments were posted and the B's buzzed until Miss Rand threatened to dis- miss Chapel. But since then-how times have changed !--for today the wise, old Bawl can sit and nod with smug satisfaction at the un- approachable conduct of the B-ites.
