WILLIAM E.. CULLINAN Jin ml'Ill11fiUllI Friends, though absent, are present: Though dead, they are alive. Cicero VVILLIAM E. CULLINAN QAugust 8, 1905-February 17, 19265 C VVild VVilliam,', Bill j, 102 Union Street, Rockland, Mass. N. A. A., Dramatic Club, Glee Club, Football, Basket- ballg Soccer. In September, 1922. a class of over eighty freshmen started on the road to a degree. Of this large number only twelve were boys, who had classes apart from the girls. Naturally, each young man was deeply held in reverence as a friend by every other young man. Each other's names were soon learned, and the name of Bill,' was immediately in promi- nence. He shone in football and in baseball. In his second year he starred in basketball, and was lauded in his fourth year for his excellent work in soccer. Besides being a four-letter man, he was versatile in other types of sport. As a student, Bill was in the AH Class. He had a highly intelligent, alert, and keen mind, much in evidence in every class. Not only were his recitations highly creditable, but also were his essays, which were filled with substance cleverly arranged and poetical, and which were most en- joyable. Bill will always be remembered a poet. He created ex- quisite rhymes and verse for the classes and for the boys, all of which effervesced with life, laughter, and youth. After cementing our friendships through the last three years, we came together refreshed this past Fall to finish the last lap of Normal School. Bill came to Bridgewater to stay, but resumed commuting after Thanksgiving. After Christmas, he began work on the Men 's Dramatic Club play, The Time of His Life. Bill had a very difficult char- acterization, which he play-ed to perfection. The play was presented and Bill was a hit. About two weeks later came the severe shock- Bill was called to his Eternal Reward. Some time or other in the course of our lives there comes to each of us some great sor- row, inevitably and unavoidablv it steals on us so suddenly we cannot realize the depth until afterward. The memory of him will always linger- Bill here at school, o11e of us.

GREEN 3111 HHPIIIUHZIIII And the stately ships go on To their haven under the hill: But O for the touch ofa vanished hand, And the sound ofa voice that is still. ---Tennyson GREEN, ESTHER S. CFeh, 5, 1905-Dec. 9, 19255, 201 Cent-er Street,iBrockton, Mass. After Senior I had come together again and had had a chanc-e to look around, one of the first tlrngs which we noticegl was Esther 's smile. 'What a smile it was! No matter what the circumstances, that smile was always ready to cheer up some downhearted person. lVith her sunny disposition and winning smile, is it any won 'er that Esther's friends were many and that she was loved by all? She was the type of girl who didn't waste time complaining about her studies, but went right ahead and did them, That is one reason why she was so successful in her work. lVe missed her when it came to playing on our class teams. Esther was always fond of outdoor sports and made good at them. e Although Esther was more quiet than most of her class- mates, she was just as eager for a good time as any of us. Many were the good times she furnished us with her ready wit. P As time went on and we grew to love Esther more and more, we congratulated ourselves on having such a girl in our class. But we were not to have her for long, for when we came hack to ,Normal after training. Esther was not among us. After waiting patiently for several days, there came one morning the message that Esther would no longer be a mem- her of our class. This news was received with great sorrow liy the class that loved her so well. Every girl felt her loss so keenly that it was a long time before we could get used to the tact that Esther was not coming back any more. The spirit of our loving classmate has remained with us and will continue to remain in our hearts even after we are no longer the class of Senior I. - , , him k.SG.n5h.v5Q1.'.-5L.g56ubG.:5b.QJ '4 b.uSm5Ew5h.ub.uS E. f1i'?w-ufv-f??i2Si1wAfw-va-+vfQswvw+Hfs15f5fF3Pf2L,H?wT2wfwvwwfwf3Ki?if talk- 24?

KICLLY NORMAL OFFERING 1926 Not to be Ministered Unto But to Minister Perhaps this motto of ours is more clearly engraved upon our minds since the destruction of the material inscription over the school door. At any rate, there is a decided change in the attitude of the student body toward being good leaders. Each one seemed to heed the plea. of our principal for co-operation in time of such disaster. We have always stood for the development of leadersg but now more than ever have our students shown their true worth in coming forward and giving whatever assistance lies in their power. It has been especially helpful this year to the faculty to know that they have had groups of girls and boys whose earnest endeavor was to aid in any possible way. VVhat a satisfying 'thing it is to know that everywhere around one is a feeling of co-operation! XVe agree that it is expected, but very seldom do we find a thing like this in its fulness as we have found the good spirit of the students this year. From nine to three-thirty, We have been attending classes in the basement of NVoodward Dormitory, where heat, light, and v-entilation have not been what they should be, all year have we been going to school under these conditions and, mark you, for the better part of last year, too. Some wag has dubbed our source of learning Basement College , therefore be not sceptical but believing when you hear some of the fair ones say that they go to B. C. However, be it said to the well-deserved credit of our principal and friend, Mr. Arthur C. Boyden, that even though we were out of school three weeks because of the tire and its entailing losses, we never missed one lesson. Mr. Boyden told the public that we were to begin our work where We left it perforce. He was doubted as making rather a radical statement, yet when we returned we began again as if no tire had taken place. Nothing was omitted from the curriculum except observation in the training school, and that had to be omitted because there was no more training school building. Time, however, will remedy that. The greatest blessing that the tire brought was a decided increase in school spirit. It has not been an easy matter to be attending a class, separated only by partitions from two others, and at the same time be conscious that some one is stuttering for the right Word to finish his French lesson, across the way: while in still a third corner of the room an ambitious youth is learning that he is not a Daniel Webster, and may never hope to be. Still, we have seen it through. NV-ei have respected each other's hardships, How well it has sounded to us to hear our Dean say that she was so proud of the way in which class-es were carried along, especially in the absence of the room teacher. Initiative has certainly been brought to the immediate foreground. Again. This time it is to speak of something which, ,when we think of it. saddens our outlook on the coming year's work. Longfellow has truthfully sail that into each life some rain must fall. XVe are to lose our Dean and faithful guide, Miss Pope. Lose? N03 not quite so bad. NVe are lending her to Columbia University to study for a year. Here again is the remarkable school spirit shown. Every girl has promised to do her best in helping to direct affairs next year. A year or two ago. and many would have been afraid to undertake such a responsi- bility. But we have learned that we are here, Not to be ministered unto, but to minister. Although we shall miss our guiding hand, we shall all strive to work if she were present to bring out the best in us and in others. ln due course of time. conditions will be altered. Presently, other things being equal, we shall enter upon our life in the new buildings. which are about ready no ' 1926 NORMAL OFFERING for occupancy. We have faith that the return to a normal status will not leave our now eageiqschool spirit smouldering and inactive. YVe want it active, always active. An inactive spirit can do little good. The year is waning, graduation, the both sorrowful and joyful time of year, will be soon upon us. Some of us will return to seek the protection of the school for another year. Many of us are loath to grow up. VVe beg not to be chide:l,- for we are all really young in mind who do not choose to become old. Others of us must go out into the field of life to care for those placed under us. Still others are coming into the school to begin pr-eparation for one of the noblest professions, -that of teaching. That those going out to take up their duties as teachers may' instill into their pupils the same spirit of loyalty to school, country, and God which they themselves have tried so hard to profess here at Normal, is the wish of those whohave trained them for their chosen career in life. That those coming into the school may realize our desire for true school spirit, is the wish of all in the school. HELENA REDDY.

'We leave behind us all our treasures to help our sons and TOHOXV-l'Il9ll, That they may use and profit by them and happier be in their life-span. When we have gathered knowledge, things, the greatest treasures of them all, That are to money, wealth and pleasures. like a king before his thrall. 'Tis then we have the thought of future and the help that we may will mankind And how they'll hark back to our living, and say a great and generous mind. But comfort not when you have willed the things of earth to those behind, Great Mother Nature may seize it from them and your name lost to all mankind. Nature levels all our mountains, and ei-ofles the greatest stones, So do not rest and think that safely resting, will lie even your very bones. But leave behind a spirit and a will to carry through, And though your tomb disintegrate, your work will follow you: And though your body lies unmarked, and now unknown at last, Your spirit will like a beacon shine, a light f1'1llll out of the past.

The reception room in Normal Hall was taste- fully decorated for the event. In the re- ceiving line were the dean and the oiiicers of the Student Government. Special en- tertainment was furnished by Miss Frieda Rand, who sang French and German folk songs in her usual charming manner. The refreshment committee served delicious punch and cookies. After the reception. open house was held in Normal Hall, where the rooms were found to be unusually attractive. The autumn leaves, rugs, pillows, and wicker furniture. with which the root was decorated, addedia touch of Warmth and color to the occasion. The reception was attended by a large number of stu- dents and faculty, and was considered a brilliant success. , Normal Hall, to keep up with the times, has adopted a dormitory pin. and has di- vided into three squads, each division having its own name, leader, and by- laws. Each squad in turn was responsible for a surprise entertainment at house meetings. The Misses Katherine MacDonald a.nd Bessie Gruber have starred this year in Dramatic Club productions, the former as leading lady in The Charm School. thel latter as Shylock in The Merchant of Venice. Miss Christine E. Kratz was chosen Queen of the Mardi Gras of the annual French Club Carnival. The Misses Katherine Ready and Mary Brennan have shown their efficiency and executive ability in serving on number- less committees throughout the year. A new poet has been discovered in our midst.

JESSIE LITTLE There is a hall There are dorms around us, That is known as XVoodward Dorm, Held most dear by all their own: Loved by us all But 'tis t'XVood that holds us, For its welcome warm. For it is our home. VVhere is there a home with such a large family as that of Woodward with her one hundred and sixty daughters? What a problem she has on her hands to see that they get the most out of dormitory life and also play a contributing part toward that life. With this problem ever in mind we have introduced a new system of dormitory regulations this year with the primary aim of making Woodward ai more friendly Hdormf' and the subsequent aim of bringing about a more eiiicient government. This system consists of dividing Woodward into sixteen groups, according to room location, the girls in each group comprising a squad. A leader was chosen by each squad, the leader to be responsible for th-e conduct of her squad, to take charge of its social activities, and to supervise a stunt to be given at house meet- ing some time during the year. Of the stunts we shall now speak. Let us take you to NVoodward Basement on house meeting night to witness the second burning of Rome as enacted by 'tEmpty Tammett's squad, who call themselves t'The Spare Tires. VVhat depth of feeling and dramatic furor are poured forth as mighty Nero, none other than Helen Padelford, calmly plays his fiddle and watches with a cruel smile the vast eonflagration. XVhat hidden wiles displayed by the siren, Win- nief' Booth, who ilies ma glly about with disheveled hair! Come with us another night to see Abie's Irish Rose with Helen XVilbur's squad, and behold Peg Archibald as the harassed father of Rose, an excellent bit of acting. Join your sympathies with the trials of passionate Abie, whom we recognize as Marcia Soule. Supported by an admirable east, we can justly call this the hit of the NVoodward dramatic season. Lest you should think our scope limited, we would take you to the skit, Life Only a Song, presented by the Phi Phi Phis. From the tragic Rome episode we come to the tranquil scenes of domestic life, where you may Witness the trials and joys of Lorraine Finn, the perfect lover, and Dovis Leavitt, the only girl, as the married couple who found life 'tonly a song. The picture of the worried father pacing the floor singing, 'tYes, sir, that's my Baby, might be called the Upiece de resistance of the evening. It was equalled only by the realistic acting of t'Peg Shaw, the father, as she puts the eat out for the night, and trudges off to bed in her stocking feet. NVe could go on at length with a description of our Christmas party and of our open house, but space forbids. XVe have tried to show you the effects of squads on social life. Vile have only made a beginning in this new system, but we hope that it will be carried on in the years to come with greater success and unlimited enthusiasm to make it worth-while. .

BLANCHE VALOIS All those who would like to live at the new dormitory, Gates House, please sign below: VVe signed, and waited, for some number of weeks. It seems that such minor little details as heat, water, and furniture, as well as general renovation, had to be attended to. However, in due course of time, November 17, to be exact, the proverbial innocent bystanderf' had he been so inclined, might have seen a strange procession trudging Gates-ward, laden with all sorts and sizes of en- cumbrances+for eight or ten dresses thrown over either arm will hamper one's pedal extremities! Suffice it to say that we arrived-with all the thrill of a new home to settle. NVith amusement we look back at our little difficulties-for in- stance, we had been brought up to believe that bath-tubs were guarded by lockable doors, while her-e--well, there was even the notable absence of a door in one place where a, door might be expected! But soon the necessary adjustments were made, our bare reception room blossomed out with furniture from lost Tillinghast-maybe it didn 't look pretty nice to some of ns-and we also acquired a telephone, electric iron, and a doorbell which rings! That first night we gathered for our initial house-meeting under our dear friend and capable president, Mary VVood, and here we organized ourselves into a committee of ways and means of sixteen. The Honor System appealed to us. and has proved entirely successful. This is one of the reasons that our home- like atmosphere is never invaded by the clang of a rising or study-hour bell. At the same meeting we planned our first social event, the Christmas party. electing Ruth Swift as general chairman with orders to pay strict attention to the Meats, Patience Marquette to furnish ideas on entertainment, and Blanche Valois to work on the artistic background for our revel. Ask any one of us and we 'll tell you that the affair went off with a- bang, and what the kitchen floor lacked of the qualities of a dance-hall was hardly noticed. VVe were all glad to have Mrs. Lockwood and Miss Neva Lockwood, our house-mother, as our guests. ln the meantime we had felt the need of a house-pet, and so Gatesy. a calico kitten, became an inmate of the institution for a time. I say for a time, advisedly. Now Gatesy had a very sweet disposition and the best of intentions, nor was it her fault Coh, yes, that was another of Gatesy short- comingsh that our olfactory nerves were too sensitive, but at any rate there came a day when Gatesy loved and left us-honorably discharged! Severalnights stand out in our minds-the one when we placed a lighter! candle on every staircase because one by one our lights dimmed out,-and also the night of the first fire drill. Now tire drills may not be a source of entertain- mentg and climbing out of a window and down a ladder we were unaccustomegl 1261 ' 1926 NORMAL OFFERING tog but with Miss Decker to assist and direct us at the top, and Miss Pope and an assembled group at the bottom to cheer us on, we easily learned the trick- and got quite a. kick out of it! So now you see the Gates House girls have come up against a few inconveniences --and made light of themg have had their good times, and proved that there is honor in an Honor' System. and that it's great to be one of the family.

Out of the mists of antiquity about the year 1922, there emerged into the spot- light of history a. heterogeneous assemblage of wandering peoples. They were only semi-civilized themselves, but th-ey brought a few elements of culture from other civilizations. Moreover, fresh blood and youthful minds made them a most promising addition to the highly cultured people in the pleasant land where they settled. The Facultyites, or governing class, divided them into three societies, known collectively as Deasft NVe see, then, an ambitious race ready to begin the development of a homogeneous demotic society. Indeed the Deas were truly a Race of Destiny. t The origin of this name is not known, but it has no connection with the ancient term of affection, dear, This is clearly revealed by a study of Far-ultyite records ot the period. Class-iijied Progress. It is not the province of this book to trace the rapid rise and unification of this people during the long period of struggle through the Cea and Bea. stages of culture. At times they were not the only strugglers. There were moments when the Facultyites were observed to mop their brows. On the other hand youthful minds and cheerful dispositions gave the governing class many an entertaining hourg whether from pity or genuine amusement, it is hard to tell. ln the Bea stage of culture, the race came to the age of expanding ideas, when it needed contact with other peoples. Being by this time fairly well tamed and reasonably safe associates, it was sent for a period of training in distant lands. Hardly had they set out to seek adventure when calamity overtook the homeland. A great series of tires destroyed houses and property. In the happy years they had spent in the land the Beas had conceived a great love for it. and the near destruction of all of its institutions was nothing short of tragedy to them. Many feared that they were exiled forever, and so it was with great thankfulness that they heard of the brave battle at home to re-establish order and to go on with the endless tasks of society. lt is recorded that mighty was the sound of rejoicing in the spring that the Beas returned. They fell to with a will to overcome the handicap under which all classes labored. Among the Beast themselves. a new process of integration occurred when two classes ot them were joined, a move- fzaf ' 1926 NORMAL OFFERING ment which was carriefl out enthusiastically by both parties. Migrants from the lands of liowell, Salem, and Fitchburg were also heartily welcomed. The Beas were not absent from any activity in the land, drama, art, physical development, literature all received their-attention, iWith the migration of members to yet broader fields the Aie stage of civilization was reached. U . f7Iass-y f'z1Imz'rna1z'0ns. All depleted ranks of the Aies were joined in one body politic in September, 1925. There was a certain loneliness for the missing ones, but the grave responsi- bilities of this advanced stage of civilization soon occupied all attention-or a good deal of it. It is a strange'phenomenon of Aie psychology that the greater the responsibilities felt by members of the race, the less they appear to have any burdens whatsoever. This accounts for the increasing surface merriment dis- played by all of them as time passes. Beneath it there is a profound depth of thought but partially plumbed. XVhat complicated and efficient neurone patterns lie beneath the surface was remarkably well shown by the folk festival in Novem- ber. Every Aie put forth his best efforts to show the position of his race socially, economically, and politically. Never was celebration more truly the work of a people rather than of a few as Phantoms Fantastiquef, Dancers, athletes, writers, artists, poets, singers, actors, designers, and artisans all united to prove beyond contention that great fundamental truth of mankind-Subject matter is life experience. NVas not the subject matter of the whole thing an aggregation of the life experiences of the Aies? The whole land was edified by the un- mistakable evidence that heredity counts, especially in the Jukes family, and by hearing that symphony the ancient philosophers sought and failed to find-the music of the spheres. It was very evident that the Aies possessed those triple jewels of the intellect, reason, judgment, and discrimination. VVhat is more, they were a race socially conscious. If there were a social event of which they were unconscious, it wasn't their fault. None was 'beneath or above them from movie benefits or dog roasts to the most erudite lectures. A full proportion of the Aies assisted in the activities of the Garden Club. French Club, Library Club, Scouts, Normal Athletic Association, Glee Clubs, and Dramatic Clubs. The Aie emotional content, too, was always creditable. There were strong bonds of unity and friendship among all the m-embers. The joy of one brought sincere congratulations, the sorrow of another, honest sympathy. It was the friendship of each member which made the loss of one doubly hard for all the Aies. I am gone before your face A momentis time. a little space: XVhen ye come where I have stepped, Ye will wonder why ye wept. Remembering this the Aies must go on, 'fBe cheerful minded, talk and treat Of all things ev'n as he were byg NVe keep this day. NVith festal cheer, XVith books and music, surely we XVill drink to him, where'er he be, And sing the songs he loved to hear. Now it is spring, a season which runs as fast as one of its own brooks. The day when the race of Aies will migrate is imminent. They will not go in a body as they have moved in the past four years, but separately. Each carries with him the wishes of the rest that he may find a happy place in life. Being now 1291 NORMAL OFFERING 1926 practically civilized, each regrets any annoyance which he may inadvertently tor alas! with malice aforethought lj have caused the governing class of Faculty- ites. Unbelievable as it may seem to that long-suffering body, each appreciates the kindness and friendship which the Facultyites have given him. May the Aies somehow pass on the inspiration of their teaching, and carry into the future that spirit of friendship which has marked association with everybody in this pleasant land. ETHEIJ RICHMOND.

Generally when classes have started, you will find her on her way with our other tall brunette, but she always arrives in time to give her personal opinions in the discussions on weighty subjects. We are all used to hearing her melodious voice ring not only in classes but also in the Glee Club. 'tBina has won fame also with her Parisian qualities. She cer- tainly kept us guessing the morning she announced the Carnival de Fleurs and surely the Hall ot Mir- rors in the Mardi Gras must not be overlooked after all her faithful work. XVe can say without question that while at Normal she has been a bud which has blossomed to the fullest tlower, and which we hope will never fade.

Judy never says much, but one would better look out or Judy will say, Practice what you preach. What would she do if train service were discontinued between Easton and Bridgewater! We have at last found the reason why Judy consented to live at the dorm. It is Marion Aldrich.

During Mary's stay at Nor- mal, she has managed to make the Sociology class more animated than ever, and has discovered that no two people are alike. Hubby always rises with the sun in order to keep constant vigil over the A books in the library. She knows all aboutf Fords, and has proved a most etlicient instructor in driving this year. Mary makes a iirst-class House President. We wonder whether Mary is getting out of Normal all she puts into it, for her early exodus from the dining hall is most noticeable. However, we know that Mary likes candy. and she will survive as long as Casey stays in Bridgewater. We must not forget all that Mary has done for NORMAL OFFERING: without Mary, our book would not be.

Great friendships are forming, as shown by the following: First Voice-Say, I haven 't done a solitary thing for today and wc have a five-hundred word theme to pass in the first periodf' Second Voice- O, that 's all right.

The scene is laid in what would appear to be theinteriorp of the main tent ol' Barnum and Bailey Three Ring Circus. Clowns are performing ludicrous tricksg intrepid trapeze artists are hanging by their toes at dizzy heights above the groundg terpsichorean stars, jugglers, acrobats, all rivalling Houdini in agility and endurance. A cannibal lashing the bars of his cage, a seductive palmist, trained animals, all lend to this scene an atmosphere of reality. The audience, startled at the temerity of the performers, utter gasps of dismay and becoming' enthusiastic over the cleverness illustrated by two dancing bears burst into loud applause as the i C-urtaifn falls.

A group of budding erudites are being both educated and entertained by a host of maidens in the guise of Jack O'Lanterns, Scarecrows, Peasants, Witches, Ghosts, Skele- tons-everything to lend an air of eeriness. The whole history of the evolution of Hallowelen celebrations is unravelled for us by especially trained actors, satiating the ever present desire for knowledge and the love of entertainment possessed by the audience. An unearthly howl is heard coming from above. occasioned by the contact of the fingers of a young lady with a plate of cooked macaroni. It may be added that in the darkness of the upstairs room it was suggested that the dish contained the intestines of an unfortunate individual slaughtered for the occasion. Crurtazfoz.

In the fall of 1923, Ruth entered our class with a smile on her face and during her three years here, she has never ceased smiling. Ruthie has many-sided interests. and is very witty, too. She is always for- getting something, but she generally gets there. Ruthie is always there when it comes to History and French. Perhaps you have noticed a big paper bag that Ruthie always has with her. Well. no one expected to survive on merely a smile, although that certainly goes a long ways towards making many fast friends for Ruth. Like the proverbial tortoise. Ruth is oh! so slow. but like that same animal. she, wins the race every time, too. Wasn't it because of Ruthie's valiant efforts that we have such a splendid display of pictures in our book?

She could not wait until she graduated from Normal to begin her teaching career, so she has a class of little tots at Sunday School. She is always wearing an N.

She sure does drive away the blues and to be in her charming coni- pany just makes one feel like having a jolly good time. I is very popular and has made a name for herself, both socially and scholastically. Here are some of her favorite pastimes: theatres on certain nights, and baseball, when we have enough players. Ina swings a wicked bat and throws a mean ball. Music is one of her gifts: she can both sing and play to perfection. We do envy you, Ina. Miss Hathaway will certainly make a most successful teacher, as she N has a student. We can all picture' Ina somewhere next Year with a classroom of dutiful and loviiig fol- lowers. Good luck and best wishes to you. Ina! HATHAWAY, RUTH NICHOLS, 1433 Linden Street, Fall River, Mass. Ruth is one of the most charming and best liked girls in Senior 2. With her ever-ready smile and quick wit she has made instant friends. Outdoor sports claim most of Ituth's time-a true daughter of nature is she. Swimming is her favorite sport during the sununer months. In the cold winter time it certainly does one good to see Ruth's sparkling eyes and rosy cheeks in many a snow-hall fight. Sliding, skiing, and skating are other attractions for her. Did you ever see Ruth skate? A perfect skater! Although Ruth liked to have a good time she never neglected her work. We certainly liked her clay modeling and many words in praise of it were spoken., Good luck, Ruth. May you make a success of teaching as you have of Normal. IIICNNICSSICY.

HUNT, MAUDE CHARLOTTE t Chic y, 24 Congress Street, Stoneham, Mass. Chic is one of our best correspondents. She is seldom seen without her writing materials. Perhaps her skill in penmanship is due to this practice, for practice makes perfect we hear. Her hobby is keeping her hair in trim. How much time she uses in marcelling her bob is a mystery to us. From all appearances she must spend hours, but it is worth while, judging from her many male admirers. Chic has many friends among the girls, for she is willing to lend a helping hand.

Now to us it is well known and famous as the home of Helen. We wonder what attraction this town holds fo-r herg doesn't she claim her hobby is going home week-ends? Another of Helen's many and varied hobbies is the collection of a menagerie. This winsome little miss collects dogs, cats, bears, etc. Wherever Helen is, one can hear laughterg for our sociable Helen, quiet as she may seem, is one of the wittiest members of Senior 2.

She is a witty, clever, and popular member of her famous class. All the escapades of Senior 2 found her right on deck. That Babe is of an inquisitive nature was shown when she- tried to see the under side of the table in Miss Beckwitlrs class. Lois is a good dancer, a good baseball player and is interested in other spo-rts. Babe makes a success of anything she tries and yet is right on hand for all the fun. This mate of ours is exceedingly versatile and for a while we thought she was going to- adopt hair- dressing as a profession, as she had quarters in the basement for the benefit of her friends. We only hope that she gets the happiness which she deserves. f81f NORMAL OFFERING 1926 LXITINE, HELEN ELIZABETH t Jack J, 319 Granite Street, Quincy, Mass.

Jack's skill with her EVQ1'Sh211'D has kept us entertained for many a dull hour. Besides being class artist and spending odd minutes at por- trait work, she excels in sports and often rivals the deer at the Franklin Field races. In 'fgym Jack keeps us busy trying to live up to her pep and vi- tality, for her acrobatic actions hold us spellbound. Helen's scholarship is a good asset, but this does not hinder her in the least from becoming involved in the many escapades that Senior 2 experienced. XWith- out Jack Senior 2 would be incomplete.

'tMay is one of the famous Rockwell twins from a famous city. May, as the class representative, has more than proved hersellf capable and worthy of this oitice. Although May is quiet and unassuming, she is popular and well liked. 'tMay is fond ot winter sports, especially coasting, and we often see her indulging in this sport on the campus. We admit that she does look pleasing when attired in her sporting regalia. May believes that English is spoken more correctly by Fall River inhabitants than by Bostonians and has often en- deavored to set them aright in the pronunciation ot certain words. Who knows but she may publish a dictionary some day for the beneiit of those dwelling near Boston?

When in doubt, we always consulted Mary. Although Mary is quiet, we will have to admit that she is a good sport and likes a good time: and, oh, how she can act! Another good point about her is that she never comes to class unprepared. We are very glad that Fall River sent you to Senior 3, Mary.

Mona is a real all-round girlg not o-nly is she fond of her studies but also of athletics. Mona loves to dance, a fact that can be contirmed by her attendance at the Scout Dances. May she be as successful with the little ones as she was with her studies at B. N. S. Though we grieve at parting with her, we are happy to share with the little ones who will appreciate her as much as we do. 4 S Ill.

A year ago we were KP2. looking forward to our remaining year at Normal with bright hopes and high purpose. It has now come,-this year which comes to all of us, when we are to see the fuliillment of our brightest dreams. But somehow, we feel very humble now that the time has comeg and we wonder whether we have reached the goal after all. That is why we leave with you the simple history of a small KP class. which will leave Normal with the same high hopes that have uplifted its sojourn here. lYe cannot write a history about ourselves without mentioning the kinder- garten, for it is the very essence ot life to a KP. You who have never known the joy of working with little children, and ot studying their natures and impulses, cannot understand the way we feel about the kindergarten. It is one of those things so dear to our hearts. that it is difficult to say just what it has meant to us. lt is enough to say that our contact with the children there has helped to give us the power of understanding and sympathy which a teacher must have if she is to develop the right responses and interests in a child. This insight and better understanding which we have tried to accomplish. would never have been possible without the sympathetic and inspiring guidance of our teacher and our friend. Miss Wells, whom we think of as the mother of the kindergarten. None who has ever worked with Miss NVells conl'l fail to receive some of the ideals and purposes which have sustainecl her work in the kindergarten for so many years. Because she has given us these ideals, and because she has shown us the joy in teaching. we have given her this place in our history. And now we come to the end of our annals, XVe realize that this has been more an appreciation of the kindergarten than a history. But since the kinder- garten training is the one distinguishing mark ot a KP, we deem it proper to begin and to end this record-in the kindergarten.

You who are not KP's cannot realize what a help- ful, cheerful companion she is tbut ask Little l. for she has lived at home the greater part of her three years here. She is always one of the first to pass in themes, learn new songs and see the sunny side of situations. What could be more pleasant than a visit with Marion and her uke ? The children in Pros- pect Kindergarten partly appreciated that. If there had been a piano she would have played it, but seeing there was none she did the next best thing. Is not adaptability an excellent thing in a teacher? Of course, we knew it all the time. She'll be successful. ARCHIBALD, ALICE DOROTHY t Dotty J, 458 Main Street, Bradford, Mass. W. A.

On September 16, a date engraved on the minds of many, numerous freshmen went to their respective railroad stations to voyage forth into a new land, the land of life at B. N. S. It was with great joy and trepidations that they went to their first classes anil regarded their teachers. It certainly was an awful comedownl' from digrnitied seniors to mere fresh- ies. And what a shock when books were passed outg for many years ago in grammar school these same books had supposedly been laid to rest forever. At first all were strangers, but little by little acquaintances were made and friendships sprang up. The Acquaintance Social sowed the seeds of many strong' friendships, and made everyone feel at home. Around December fourth. there was great unrest and murmuring in the classes. VVhat was the cause of this? The answer is simpleg someone had received her first report card, XVhat excitement prevailed! The novelty of the first day of school was. as nothing' compared to th-e thrill received in the form of the first report card. The D class does something besides studying, howeverg it certainly knows how to win a basketball game which was shown by the victory over another class. The social side of B. N. S. life is not neglected by the D's, as many of them have been seen at various socials throughout the year. The first milestone of school life is now past, and the D 's look forward into the future with great joy and expectation.

On a dull, dismal, very wet day of that memorable month, we were enlisted as Juniors in B. N. S. The depressing weather, however, could not erase the smiles from our faces, nor dampen our joyous spirits, and we wandered around in the unfamiliar surroundings with merry hearts.. VVhy mention the wonderful time we had trying to puzzle out our programs, find our respective rooms, and make our friendships? That is the pleasure of all entering classes. From the first day, our scholastic record was such as to distinguish us from preceding Junior classes. In sports, too, we have made a distinct place for ourselves. In basketball, hockey and bowling, the Junior classes participated, Junior III starring in hockey, Junior II in bowling, and Junior I in basketball. One of the pleasant memories of our Junior year will be our trip to Quincy, where we explored the quarries and learned many things about the common reeks and their history. Even the quiz on the day following failed totake the joy out of that excursion. Another one of the virtues of the Junior class seems to have been originality. Anyone who saw the projects, worked out in Miss Motfitt's room, will agree to that. But what fun we had making those tests, log cabins, and Indian homes. We were more than repaid for our work, by the comments of the various visitors. the praise of our teachers, and the good we got out of it ourselves. But the crowning touch for us came in March when Junior I was told to be ready to go into the Training School for the last six weeks of the year. Wliat excitement! There was no lack of Juniors around the bulletin board the day the new program was posted. I NVe have tried in every way to uphold the reputation of former Junior classes and even to add a little of our own, and so we trust that in the memorable month of September in 1926 we shall be deemed worthy to become honorable and honored Seniors.

The greatest compliment received by this school was the invitation to send a delegate to the National Collegiate VVorld Court Conference which was held at Princeton. The student body voted for Miss Ethel Richmond to be its repre- sentative. ' N The two branches of this association are the Dormitory Council and the Stu- dent Council.

Since limited dormitory accommodations increased the number of day students, the council considered it fitting- that this body should take a larger part in the social activities of the school. Accordingly, with excellent co-operation on the part of many students and with the services of the talented. a social was held December 11, 1925. Public sentiment declared this social to he a remarkable success, which opinion filled the hearts of day students with joy and pride. XVhy? Because this social was the Hrst ever given by this group. Again we ventured into the Held of social activities. but this time an informal tea. was planned to ll1'l,Q'ill'PIl the hours ot' the day students. lt was to have fuel i 1926 NORMAL OFFERING been held in Normal Reception Room on February 4. But alas for the best laid plans of enterprising day students! They met the misfortune of many other best laid plans of mice and men. Mother Nature also chose that day on which to lay a deep, White blanket which was to remain until Spring. All thoughts of a tea were cast aside, and these young ladies who seldom wander far from home anxiously sought methods of returning to their homes before all exits from the town should be blocked. However, some of the braver spirits stayed on, and an invitation was extended to the dormitory students to help partake of the feast which had been prepared. The scene of activities was changed to VVoodward to accommodate a larger number of guests. Gay indeed was the group which gathered in the front part of the lower hall, dancing and eating, while outside the furies raged to their hearts' content. To carry out the original plan of a tea, an affair was held on March 18, when three groups of our talented members entertained us. Delicious refreshments of punch, sandwiches, and home-made candy were served. Let us see how the individual differences of this group have been provided for. For the studious, Room 13 in Woodwa.r,d Hall has been set aside as a place for these people to study undisturbed. For the ones desirous of resting, Room 35 has been set apart for this purpose. For the candy-lovers, candy is sold at noon, this being rather a profitable phase of our work. Lest the reader think of us as all play and no work, we very proudly call his attention to the fact that it was none other than a day student who was sent as delegate to the convention at Princeton. NVe have not yet seen the day students outdone, either scholastically or socially. To future Day Student Councils let us extend our heartiest wishes for suc- cess and a wider scope of activities in the new Normal building. .TosEPH1NE GIBERTI, Secretary. School Spirit The loyalty and co-operation of every student at the State Normal School at Bridgewater has been tested this year. lt has been no easy task for us to concentrate and behave in a room outside of which a class was sawing and hammering. In some rooms the temperature was seventy degrees, while in others it averaged fifty-two degrees. NVe all remember plodding through the deep snow and slush from VVoodward to the large gymnasium, and from there to the Brotherhood. But in spite of the inconveniences there has been no sign of faultinding, and the spirit of all for one and one for all' has been present. As the weather grows warmer, we shall find it uncomfortable in the base- ment rooms. How-ever, with our new building in view, and with the co- operation of the teachers and pupils, we can end at very successful year. It may be that this school-spirit atmosphere is not apparent to all: but stop awhile and think things over, and I am sure that you will agree that it is through this school spirit that our social and mental activities have proved successful this vear.

They realized, being wise little Juniors, the opportunities for fun and recreation in sport which our most popular organization offers. So, in the fall, the campus swarmed with energetic young ladies racing from one end to the other. A technique class was formed in which we were instructed in playing and coaching points. Soon order emerged from the chaos, due to the i 4 CHAMPION BASKETBALL TEAM influence of the above class. and to the coaching of the Gym. instructors and captains. Class B was victorious in the class games. Then, at the hockey ban- quet, we viewed with great sorrow the interment of hockey, but welcomed with joy the advent of basketball. A technique class was formed, and we learned many things of which we hitherto had been ignorant. This proved to be the most popular 'winter sport. Great rivalry was displayed between the classes. and after many hard fought contests. Class C was proclaimed the champion. The gala day came when the Reds and the XVhites contested for the newly acquired banner, the NVhites being the first team to hold the banner. This is a game which will be an annual event, the teams being chosen from the best players in the school. A spread followed the game. the fans of both basketball and bowling joined the party. The banner was presented to Edna Blankinship. Captain of the XVhites. in a short but, pleasing speech given hy Miss Decker. 1120! i 1926 NORMAL OFFERING Bowling vied with basketball as an indoor winter sport. After the prelimie nary practices, teams were chosen, and a match played off. Then came the outdoor winter sports. Skating, skiing, snow-shoeing, anj sliding were enjoyed, especially by the Juniors, who found the Campus an ideal spot for these sports after school and week-ends. The VVinter Carnival, however, was impossible on account of the lack of snow. A swimming match was held at the Brockton Y. W. C. A. pool one Saturday morning. Quite a number were there, and num-erous events were held. Swim- ming is proving more popular every year. and we hope to put it on a par with other activities soon. VV. A. A. 's float in the Mardi Gras Carnival came out with CLASS B HOCKEY TEAM first prize. VVhat could be more appropriate than the campus moving along very slowly and with much state. with the NY. A. A. girl in the center? At first we had our misgivings as to the stability of said campus, but with careful maneuvering. the circuit was accomplished without mishap. Spring and baseball appeared hand in hand. Both diamonds were kept busf' by aspirants for high batting averages. From class held in the winter, efficient players, umpires, coaches, etc., were abundant. During the year, two amendments were added to the Constitution. One was that W. A. A. elections should be held after Student Government elections. The other provided for a new system of points for hiking. For 2 miles, 1 point, for 3 miles, 2 points, 4 miles, 3 points, and 5 miles, 5 points, with no stops on any hike. This is for the purpose of encouraging short hikes when long ones are not possible.

The graduating classes of 1925 took from us the athletic shining lights of the school. lVas that sutticient reason for giving up al sports for the coming year 3 It was not! As I said before- , ' May may come and men may go. and in coming, they all manifest that natural desire for participating in athletic activities-in going, they do naught but leave others coming, with the same aforesaid desire. This year has been very successful, financially and otherwise. Although we SOCCER TEAM did not win any ehampionships or set the world on tire with our teams, we did aeeomplish a few things, Soccer, a eomparatively new sport, was substituted for football. Considering all facts, this new sport was a sueeess. lt was a practically unheard of sport to the niajority of the fellows--henee we had no ready-made stars. Needless to say they are in the process of development. Basketball, whieh is the major sport of the school, had one great obstacle to overcome. There having been no team last year on account of the fire, we were forced to build up a practically new team. This team is also in the process of f123f NORMAL OFFERING 1926 development alld we expect to hear great things of next year's team. Financially speaking, the N. A. A. is on its feet again. Reason, The N. A. A. Dance. which was a huge success from every standpoint. The soccer season did not require a great deal of financial aid-we have much to be thankful for- and the basketball season practically paid for itself, considering the season tickets and the guarantees. The Normal Athletic Association wishes to thank all who have helped to make this la.st year a success. Especially do the members extend their appreciation to Dean John J. Kelly and to Physical Director Frank Crozier, whose untiring efforts have aided us in accomplishing many things in this past year. VVe have no intention of forgetting our cheer leaders-Russell Marshall, Richard Jason, and Robert Osborne. They did much toward instilling school spirit and de- veloped the same to the ext-ent that a real cheering section was created for our basketball games. C BAsErsALL The outlook for the baseball season of 1925 was unusually bright. It being the first sport to be undertaken following the tragedy of December tenth, 1924, keen interest and great enthusiasm was manifested by the baseball candidates. Cap- tain Goodnough had at very large and selective squad, all more or less experienced chasers of the horsehide. Johnnie Balfe, Dick Morey, Johnnie,' Buck- ley, Bob Hiatt, Leo Healy, Jerry O'Donnell, t'Bobbie Osborne, John- nie Murphy, and Dick'l Jason, all veterans of the previous seasons were out seeking their old berths on the team. Of the newcomers, 'tJoe Sullivan, 'tFrig Haley, Al Riley and Eddie Pickett looked the most promising. Manager Campbell had arranged a stiif schedule, which included games with Cushing Academy, New Bedford Textile, Rhode Island State, Harvard Seconds, Powder Point, and St. Anslem's Prep. The results of these games were: Normal- 5 C'ushing Academy-10 Norinal--ll New Bedford Textile-42 Norniale- Z3 llarvard SecondsAl3 Normal- ti Powder Point-ll XHl'lll1ll'l-I lilltltlll Island Slate-lf! Nornial-131 St. Anslm-n1's-14 a Socciaa The Soccer Team did not enjoy a very long season, as it was late in getting under way and because there seemed to be a dearth of opponents. Only three teams accepted the challenges that were sent forth by Captain Newbury. Need- less to say, these were arranged into games. The first game was played in Boston against Northeastern University. A rather heavy opponent for beginners. Nothing daunted. they played their best, and were rewarded by being able to steal one goal by the goal keeper. The following is thc score of the season: N1 nrnial-1 Middleboro-0 Normal-ti Middleboro-1 Noi-nml+1, Nol'tl1ez1ste1'lie-14 BAsKE'1'1sALL ln the record of games won and lost, the basketball season does not appear successful, the team having lost nine games and won only six. But let us con- sider the facts of the case before we come to any conclusion. Although we are blessed with one of the finest basketball courts in the state, we have been handi- capped because of no place to practise. This, of course, was no fault of the authorities. since education comes .before athletics. The gymnasium was used as classrooms and so we were deprived of all but one practice period a week. But f1Z4f 1926 NORMAL OFFERING who ever heard of a championship team dev-eloping with one practice period a week. Our most capable manager, Leon Pratt, arranged the hardest schedule ever known in the history of the school. We played Brown University, Providence College, Northeastern University, and Tufts College Seconds. VVe had only two veterans on the team, Jerry O,Donn-ell and Leo Healy. But with these two as a nucleus and Jim Buckley, 'tBob Kiley, 'fJohnnie Murphy, Ed Tanner, Digger Campbell, Tom Gilmore, Bill Cullinan, Carl Porter- Shirley, and Archie Shaw to work into the line-up, the prospects of a suc- cessful team were good. D Little did we then realize, at the beginning of the season, that it was to be the last season for one of our most beloved brothers, Bill Cullinan. He was a pal to -everyone and one of the stars of our basketball team. It was a terrible blow to all of us when the Good Lord saw fit to remove Bill from our midst. Need- IGSS to say, Bill will never be forgotten by any of us. Our first gauge was in Providence against the Brown University five. 'We were defeated by a score of 41 to 14. O 'Donnell was high scorer with three from the floor and one foul. Healy and Gilmore starred on the defensive. Next we travelled to Boston to play Northeastern. Here also we were trampled on to the tune of 46 to 15. The less said the better. In Kingston, Rhode Island, where we played Rhode Island State, the boys seemed to perk up and play real basketball. The passing was superb and Bob Kiley and Jim Buckley starred with their shooting, The score at the half was 19-15. Conditions began to tell on our men duringthe second half and the score at the close of the game was 42-30 in favor of Rhode Island. Since this school is rated as one of the best college teams in New England, we were content to have it so. Providence College defeated us by the close score of 38-31. Jimmie'y Buckley again had a field day, throwing baskets from all angles. Kiley also seemed to have his eye with him, for he accounted for 11 points. iWe defeated the Tufts Seconds 33-14. Buckley and O'Donnell were high scorers. Tanner's work on the defensive was flawless, while Johnnie Murphy played a wonderful floor game. Salem Normal journeyed to Bridgewater to suffer a 38-23 defeat. Healy starred in this game, as did Porter-Shirley, whose remarkable guarding prevented the star forward of Salem from scoring. Bill Cullinan went into the game the last two minutes and immediately brought the fans to their feet by nonchalantly tossing in three goals in succession. The two Legion games were hair-raisers. In both games we had to accept the loser 's end, 23-19, and 38-29. Kid Cochrane, well-known big league ball player, was responsible for our defeats. Anyway, we enjoyed ourselves and netted rather a substantial sum of money as our share in the proceeds. VVe ended our season by defeating the Alumni 23-20. 1Vith such stars as f'Dick Morey, Johnnie Buckley, Eddie Pickett, Frankie Tanner and Alden Read playing against us, the Normal boys did well to win.

Second Childhood lt is really remarkable what queer things a girl will do to comply with her teacher 's requirements,-things for which she would be called mentally deficient if she did them on her own initiative. One 's first childhood has quite a definite beginning and ending, but l always was at a loss to know at what time in one's life th-e second childhood begins. Now I knowx! It starts on the day we enter normal school. Previously, one of my friends would hardly think of inspecting a garden, but recently I saw her enthusiastically uprooting dahlias for the winter. Foolishly enough, I asked her what she was doing. Practising to be a grave-digger in 'Hamlet'. was her only reply. Another of my dignified classmates startled me, while we were taking that daily half-hour walk required by health rules. by pouncing upon an insignifi- cant little stone. Feverishly she began tapping a boulder. with it, paused, then tapped again. No, she was not calling forth spirits. She was merely ascertaining the stone 's streak, In any group of girls in Woolward, one is likely to see some playfully making little boxes, some are apparently running il song competition, each one singing a different tune: or yet again, they are composing a melody. There are girls frantically waving rulers in the air. Girl Scouts practising wig-wagging? Oli no,-only Miss Rand 's music class learning to conduct three-four time. In another room you may find the surest proof that normal school girls have reached their second chililliood. Your ears are not deceiving you: the girls are really reciting nursery rhymes. My only advice to the stranger is,-don't form rash opinions of normal school girls. - tin-ii'i-1 Mrnrrir. f1Z8f 1 ,J Xl X -5 dj K lf, ac ' Q m 0 rlc K Nl u Lk l 9 - J in , xx? , A -I4 5 v-- ' ., , A T , ' W Omen s Dramauc Club Dl1'6Ct1'lCC ......

The club soon began rehearsing for its Shakesperian play, The Merchant of Venice.

The Brute Gentle breezes stirred the tree tops, and tiny blades of fresh, new grass stretched and pushed up to greet the bright sunlight. The happy calling of a bird to its mate and the droning of the first bees mingled with the carefree laughter of the students, who lolled lazily beneath the maple tree. Above the babble of voices one suddenly made itself heard, the voice of the professor, Young ladies, class will begin. The babbling swelled into a crescendo then died down until only the calling of the birds and the droning of the bees were heard. . Miss Valois, I should like to hear your report on the grackle. ln a calm, unemotional voice, Miss Valois began her report. The pencils of her classmates flew as she talked. The purple grackle is a very common bird in this section of the country. lt is not very desirable, in fact it is almost- A scream of anguish rent the air. Pencils ceased their labor. All heads turned simultaneously in the direction of the outcry. In an instant Bedlam was let loose. Shrieks, cries, groans, jangled in the calm air: Take him away! Oh, the horrid brute ! Oh, he's here, take him awayll' As the panicgstricken cries filled the air, the professor, in great dismay, rushed to the scene of all the eonnnotion and with superhuman calmness in the face of such a. dreadful undertaking proceeded to drive the brute away. Each student followed his movements with rapt, adoring looks, as he sought to perform his prodigious task. Never flinching nor faltering, he laid his plans to ensnare the brute. Advancing with cautious steps from the left, he sought to cope with it but the brute had lied to the front of the group. Nothing daunted the professor 'followed stealthily. Nothing could be heard except the labored breathing of the students and the caroling of a bird. Four steps to go-would he ever reach it? The angry cry of a robin sounded like an echo of their own outburst to the anxious group. Ah! only two more-but what is this? No, it can'tg oh, don 't let it escape-it.'s dead!

Oh, those Saturday extra girlslw Ilve heard people say, 'tlt's no use to ask them. They don 't know anything!', Once I spoke these very words myself. I don 't now. For I am a Saturday extra! A 'tSaturday extra, I must explain, is a girl who works in a store during the busiest part of Saturday only. She has no time to learn the location of everything there, so she often, makes mistakes. I am no exception. Therefore, sooner or later on Saturday night someone exclaims, striding away from my counter in disgust, ' ' 'What a dumb-bell l For instance, I am placed at the hardware counter for the first time. On this counter there isxanything from bolts and screws to electric light bulbs. A man comes up and asks me, VVhat kind of screws shall I use for my curtains tl XVhat kind of curtains are they I ask. lle explains impatiently that his curtains are the ordinary kind. I show him some screws that are used for green shades. Then I Hnd that he is speaking ot screws on rods for draperies, and I direct him to the kitchenware department, where, strangely enough, these are kept. He stalks away, muttering, HStupid girl! I I work in peace for awhile, but alas. some unkind Fate lures me to the end of the counter where tools of all shapes and sizes are kept. There are queer round things with holes in icnenig lOtL'41l snare-pointed vicous articles, all kinds olf wriggly screws, and other mysterious instruments used in the art of building. A woman appears!

This season we have stressed, particularly, the working for merit badges. To aid the scouts to pass their hostess badge, a supper was served at one of the meetings in October, several girls planning and serving the meal. October also brought the Brockton Fair, and the troop made preparations to enter various contest.s. Last year the troop won three cups, and this year it would ha.ve been more. But alack and alas! That one rainy day shattered our hopes and the troop remained at home with the exception of three girls, who, true to their name, attended the Fair. Next year it will be up to the troop to work twice as hard to make up this loss. . November was a busy month with the movie benefit the ninth and tenth, Little Annie Rooney, and with the always successful Scout dance. At .Christmas time, the Scouts sold Christmas Seals in the post office. The troop also went out carol-singing to several shut-ins. A new activity added to the program of scouting this year, has been the making and selling of sandwiches. These sales have proved popular among the dormitory girls, and plans are being made to sell more. The Mardi Gras Carnival, under the auspices of the French Club, brought forth more festivities, and the scouts entered their float in the parade and won honorable mention! When June comes and scouting is over until September, we expect many merit badges and silver stars for attendance, which will be presented to those earning them, . HELEN WILBlTRi.

The Spell-Binder Restlessness had seized that audience of excited men and women! Ladies with quick little movements of nervousness shifted their feet, rearranged skirts and collars, clutched at eoiffures. Men, plainly ill at ease, cast sidelong glances at their neighbors. From time to time cryptic remarks were flung from one to another of that audience, followed by hysterical laughter. Suddenly as if by some great mesmeric force, every eye became fixed, everybody taut. The very atmosphere became tense. All-consuming emotion showed on the face of every individual. For several instants they remained thus. Not a movement could be seen, not a sound heard. Then as if tired by some powerful demon, pande- monium was set loose. Derisive shouts of laughter rent the air. Chairs were overturned and people gathered in little groups of heated discussion.

CARL, ll. l3OR'l'liR-SHIRLEY. S0c'1'f1ury. fjlif NORMAL OFFERING 1926 The Poet Every evening he sat there, in l1is dingy attic room, waiting for the Angelus which came at dusk. No day 's work was complete until a final offering of all that he had that day accomplished was made. With his head bent in expectation of the familiar sound, he listened all intent. Ah! there it came. How sweet the bell sounded, pealing forth from the old church tower in the village. In silent prayer, he mused for a long time, then with a deep sigh he rose and made ready for bed. - Michel Amarito did not sigh for nothing. From day to day he never knew whence his next meal was to come. Man had forsaken him as a crazy old vagabond who wrote verse. Still he wrote and never despaired of attaining his purpose in life. Page after page he sent to the king for acknowledgment, but the only word he ever received was a curt notice not to annoy His Majesty. In the day time when he went out, the people sidled away from him as if he were an object of repulsion. He spoke kindly to the children, but when they too lost faith in him, he grieved, and silently pursued his way. Not a flower but knew him, not a bird but used to come and perch on his shoulder and wait for the ever forthcoming handful of grain. But now it all was dif- ferent. The flowers seemed to fold up and wither at his approach, the birds fled at his step. Oh, what had he done to deserve such existence? But still he never complained,-just waited. Toward midsummer. one day Michel Amarito was out walking, when a sudden noise arrested him. The King! The King! Long live the King! Michel Amarito followed the surging crowd of men and women with tiny babes and children shouting and laughing from sheer excitement at the thought of the king's visiting their small village. All at once there was a subdued murmur as the royal procession came in sight. Michel Amarito drew off into a corner by himself to watch. Soon it passed, and the crowd subsided. In his little room that night. Michel Amarito knew the first sharp pangs of hatred. For more than an hour he wrestled with the demon, finally falling on his face from exhaustion. He was awakened by the tender pleading voice of the Angelus. Dragging himself to the window, he leaned his weary, gray head against the cool pane. How refreshing it was! iWhy did he seem to be partly asleep and partly awake T? Rousing himself, he tried to center his mind on his prayers, begging the forgiveness he felt himself so unworthy to receive, yet confident that it would not be withheld from him. Then he fell asleep as the last bell tolled from the church tower. The next morning, confusion reigned in the little village. Michel Amarito had been found dead in his room, sleeping peacefully by the window,-lulled to his eternal rest by thc sweet. notes of the Angelus. ' Every tongue was telling the wonderful news.-lllichel Amarito had been proclaimed the greatest poet in the country. Beside him had been found his last work. the ink of which was scarcely dry. lt was entitled, Hllong livc the King. ll'u1.I:N-x R1-znnv. lil, YT. fl-IO! 1926 NORMAL OFFERING The Crystal Gazer A Martha ls Vineyard, Mass.

Vtlhy will people whose earthly career is but a day, delight in bruising and scratching the heart and feelings of a fellow passenger on this short trip. Are you guilty of heart breaking? A spite-ful act, a sneering smile, a harsh word, a gossiping tongue,-all leave their impression on the poor human heart. Life is short.

The tall. somlire pines that edged this stretch of level land waved slowly to and fro. The blackbirds flapped their wings silently as they moved in peace to their nests. Shadows were seen to gather in the quiet sky. In the forest all things crept noiselessly to their nocturnal shelter, while Nature wrapped about her a filmy cloak of darkness. The frogs ceased their croaking, the lily pads folded up to rest: while the slender birches by the pond's margin bowed their heads in recog- nition of the mighty force which was slowly taking charge of the earth. All was dark. Suddenly the humble birches straightened as a single shaft of sunliglitbroke upon the dim horizon, quivcred, and became obscure in the enveloping blackness.-Night had come. , leIt:1.ENA. REDDY.

Apart from the rest ofthe group was one who instantly distracted, by something irresistible in his per- sonality, my attention from theegame. There was something pleasing about the carefree swing of his head as he sought to keep out of his eyes his black, curly hair, tossed. about by the wind. Strike after strike the umpire called on the home team, but I could not be bothered with such triiies. I was interested in something far more absorbing, I could not tear my eyes away from him, every time I tried to appear interested in the game, my eyes would wander back to the place where he stood. Especially attracted by the gorgeous banners and flags carried by many of the rooters, he seemed to be enjoying the game, and seemed to find a keen pleasure in quietly gazing around at the crowd. In the course of his scrutiny his eyes met mine. It was then I lost all track of time and place, and was immediately transported to ethereal realms! How I longed to meet him! , Brought back to the material things of life by a punch on the back from my chum, Mary, I felt dazed. She kept shouting, We've Won! We 'Ve won! Isn't he marvelous?'l She referred to the winning pitcher, but when I eagerly replied, t'He's won- derful! I did not mean the silly ball player. 'tThere's Jim over there, let's go meet him,'7 said Mary, and imagine my surprise and joy to find myself Walking toward him. Jim told us that he had brought his friend home for the spring vacation. They were going back soon. After the proper introductions had been made, we seemed to share amutual feeling for each other, and we dropped behind the rest. I shall never be able to describe the bliss of that walk home. All too soon it was ended and then good-nights were said, butrwith a promise of more walks together, That memorable walk was followed by many others, and although other girls in the town cast longing glances toward him, he seemed to prefer my company, much to my delight. I neglected all iny other friends to go walking with him, and all the old crowd teased me about it, but I didn't care. They always were a jealous crowd anyway. At last the sad day came-Jim was .going back to college, and with him--my first love. Many doubts as to his faithfulness assailed me,-would he forget me. or would he come rushing up to meet me with that glad look on his face as he did now, or would he-0? Then I felt ashamed,-of course he would be true. Before I knew it we were saying our farewells-then he was gone. I stood at the .gate watching them go down the street. I stood there a long time, musing and thinking over the events of the last two weeks. So much had happened, and in that short time we had come to know each other so well! Mother called, breaking into my reveries. Slowly I went into the house. Taguely I knew she was talking. I awoke with a start. She was calling my friend names! lVhen you get through your mooning, you might wipe up the tracks of dog's feet cross my clean iioor, and then you might get the yaeuum cleaner f143f NORMAL OFFERING 1926 and take all that lazy dog is hairs out of the upholstery!

Extracts From The Life Of The Commuter - In Practice Monday-6 :3O A. M. ' Ho, hum, Iilll tired. I guess I'll stay in bed live minutes longer. Fifteen minutes later a loud voice is heard downstairs, Alice! Alice! Youlve got twenty minutes to make your train. Get up ! I' A scramble is heard upstairs. A figure is seen tearing downstairs, hatteil and coated, 'tQuick, Ma, get me a cup of coffee. Sis put on my rubbers while I'm drinking this. Wh6I'6,S my fountain pen? Can't people around here leave things where I put them? Oh, I remember. I left it upstairs. Sis run up and get it. Money, Mag I've got to get a book of tickets. Close the front door after me. The da.y's turmoil has begun. Two objects come rushing into the station, a train and a girl,-both puffing. They have both reached the station on time. A sigh escapes Alice as she sinks into the seat. But happiness, nay, even contentment, is an elusive fellow. Alice jumped. My lunch! I left it on the table. ,A business-like conductor appears. I didn't have time to get my book of tickets, quavers Alice. Are you trying to put something over on the company? If you are, don 't try it, young lady. W6,1'9 smarter than you are. Full fare, please. This monster appeased, Alice looks around her. VVhy is every one grinning? A friend a few seats away asks, Didnt you wash your face this morning? A look in her vanity ease gives the answer. The puffing engine had puffed a cinder onto Alice 's face and the moisture caused by her exertion in running. had spread the unwelcome speck. Hence her facial decorations. At the end of the day Alice started her second marathon, with seven minutes to reach the station. Sh-e reached her destination just in time to see the tail end of the train, homeward bound. She reached home an hour late and starving, but supper was all cleared away. Supper is on the stove. Heat it up. IVe can't keep things waiting for you all night. You're never home at the same time twice in the same week. Nw sympathy l1ere! Studying was next on the program. 'tOh, I forgot to go to the library for my Comp. A mile and a half walk to the library was the result of this thought, and then the desired book was out. Alice went to beil at eleven-thirty rather tired. Things might have been worse, she thought, and grinned. Tuesday. A more leisurely send off than yesterday. Alice had time to eat a slice of bread with her coffee. A brisk walk in the rain gave her wet feet and a good complexion. A nice looking conductor said, Good morning, in a most pleasant way. Alice remembered her lunch, and the cinders passed her by. She actually caught her train home and had supper with the folks. A prosaic evening of study, then bed. Nlfednesday, Thursday and Friday followed each other in grim procession. f145f NORMAL OFFERING 1926 The train was an hour late coming home one night. Queer, how trains are always late coming home. Alice missed her train one morning and forgot her book of tickets another. She left her umbrella on the train one night and that same night fell down the station steps. All these, and a hundred other things happened in the course of the week, but on Monday morning Alice was ready for the road again, still smiling. Such is the actual life of the commuter. TNIARY A. Powsns, BQ. A Constant Friend Zingl The alarm was insistent. The sound seemed at least. six times as loud and harsh as it ever did when it fell upon 1ny wide-awake ears. Resent- fully I shut off the alarm, and scowled at the clock. Bad little thing! I said. 'AI almost think you like to spoil a happy dream and make me get ready for a long, hard day's work. NVhy don't I throw you away? . Toward the close of the evening of the same day, I leaned back in my big arm-chair, tired but happy. The day had brought many exacting tasks, but all had been well worth the doing. Afterward had come a delightful evening'. I laid aside my book. Nearly ten o'clock!l' I exclaimed. Baby Ben, ticking fast and efficiently. at once advanced, as it were, almost accusingly, to meet my gaze. I am sorry that I scolded you this morning, I told it. For five years you have been a faithful monitor. You have not failed me at any time when I depended on youf' My thoughts ran back over some of the days when Baby Ben had been useful. My father had given it to me after I had for a long time been desperately ill. I had gained strength enough to be interested in noting the passage of time. In the days that followed, I had liked to think of the clock as a shining new sympathetic presence, which was eager to tell me numbers of things that mat- tered: when my father and brothers w-ere going to work, when Mary must prepare dinner, when mother could spare a long part of a busy afternoon to visit meg when the chickens were getting ready for the night, and when the hour was approaching that would in all probability bring me blessed forget- fulness and release from the unsatisfactory burden of trying to survive in a totally overwhelming universe. At length had arrived the period when Baby Ben reminded me, in an encouraging way. of the hours when I could sit up. or of the length of time I might talk with a neighbor. After a few weeks, it had become' the clock's habit to show me, triumphantly, when I might sally forth on a long, daily trip of exploration. . Finally I had-I grown almost healthy, and ready to go to work. How joyfully this little clock had told me, each morning, that indeed I was alive again, and could, for several hours each day, give to a small corner of the world certain services that it needed! Somewhat later, my special new duties in a strange city were about to begin. I had, one evening, reached a crowded hotel. Depressed and thoroughly tired, I was left with my trunk in a room which at first impressed me as being one of the hundreds, all alike, in which mortals far from home must have isolated lieadquarters for drab day after drab day, while their personalities gradually t ' I glZ46i t 1926 NORMAL OFFERING faded into dull uniformity, like that of their rooms. Then I found Baby Ben, and placed it on the small table in the corner. It ticked at me brightfully, un- hesitant and undismayed. As if by magic, its shining, familiar face in a moment made the room my welcome haven of rest, and my secure place for gaining strength for each day in turn, before it dawned. A rather long time afterward, the small clock and I came to a little room where we were content. This room 's atmosphere was a true part of the general atmosphere of the dormitory: each week-day it saw strenuous effort and glad play, every.night it was filled with the spirit of sound, healthful sleep, and on Sundays it breathed cozy peace. The small clock sent me about, for months, to the enjoyment of rich and varied privileges. It had come to give its sug- gestions in an assured manner, assuming, it may be, that my routine would long continue to be about the same. But one morning, at five o'clock, there came a cry of Fire!', Soon I stood in my doorway, holding what treasures I thought I could carry. Aware that this was not a time for lingering and meditation, I looked once around my room. On my dresser, Baby Ben stood firmly. It ticked steadily, though soberly. Evidently its underlying confidence in the scheme of things was unshaken. There was nothing feverish or despairing in its level gaze, like the old Puritan legislator, Davenport of Stamford, on the famous Yellow Day, it seemed to desire, if the end of the world were at hand, to be found doing its duty. Speedily, I seized it, and went out. Miraculously, amid the destructive conflagration, my dormitory escaped an- nihilation. Around it were the signs of terrible disaster. The wild disorder of the disarranged rooms seemed, perhaps, typical of the state of affairs in the institutions formerly well-ordered existence. I had walked rather shakily back into my room. I opened my bag, reached in, and drew forth Baby Ben. Most reassuringly, its even voice ticked for me, and its placid dial faced the future. On one side of the clock was a deep dentg one of its legs had become insecure, never again could it be lifted by its ring. But I knew that it was still perfectly dependable. I put it back in its place upon my dresser. And strangely, now, after the unforgetable intervaliof suspense and confusion, I felt, all at once, at home again in a wonderful life where there was struggle, to be sure, but where all was to end well, like a comfortable old story. Having recalled these memories, I looked affectionately at Baby Ben, which to an uncomprehending eye, might have seemed an ordinary, uninteresting, and somewhat battered object. I spoke gently. ' Good comradef, I said to it, no matter when or where you call me, I shall never again be angry with you. For your face is the face of a friend. , ELEANOR. M. MORRILL.
