Take four feet eleven of pep, add plenty of originality, then a dash of humor, and the result will be our Helena. Wlhen affairs in class have almost come to a standstill, and our teacher is waiting for an answer or suggestion, Helena always comes to the rescue. Not only is she the shining light of every class, but she is actively connected with many of the outside organizations of the school. Wle seldom see Helena without her inseparable pal, Bunny. Best of luck, Helena, may you enjoy your MARCELLA SMITH 5 Chestnut Street, Nantucket, Mass. XV. A.

Of all the representatives which Nantucket has sent to Bridge- water Normal there is none to whom she points with more pride than Marcella. Achieving early fame in the musical pursuits of the school, she unselhshly gave her time and attention to further the interests of the musical clubs. Fur- thermore, we can testify that she has been a consistent stu- dent, a genuine optimist, and a real sport. Wle wish you all teaching as much as you did your work here the success in the world, Marcella, in your future life. ANNA LOUISE STEVENSON Main Street, Vineyard Haven, Mass. Wi.

She has been a faithful and loyal classmate, proving a worthy representative of the island . As a champion hiker, or early riser, she certainly is unequalled in this school. She has done her part for four years in keeping the post-office department of Bridgewater busy. The best of luck, Anna, in your teaching career. -4 24 5...

We feel that the future of pedagogy is secure when girls of the type of Marj are still turning toward that field of endeavor. She has an unusually gentle and unassuming manner to which everyone seems to respond with a feeling of admiration. Furthermore, she possesses the rare combina- tion of superior intelligence and physical attractiveness. As a student she is faithful, conscientious, and industrious. May you meet with the best of happiness, prosperity, and success, Marjorie. PEARL IVIIRIAIVI PETTENGILL 14 Pleasant Street, Bradford, Mass. YV. A. A., '23-'24g Social Activities, '24-'25, House Board, '25-'27, Dormitory Council, '25-'27. This blue-eyed girl came to join our ranks from Haverhill High School, and if they were as sorry to lose her as we will be, we sympathize with them. That she is a sincere friend has been the happy discovery of her class- mates. Punctuality is one of the virtues of this clever girl, who was never known to hand in an assignment late. It was due to her artistic ability that Class A had such attractive posters announcing the fact of our coming social. Good luck, Pearl, is our heartfelt wish for you. Q ...Q 23 E... ISABELLA GREENE PERKINS 168 Main Street, Bridgewater, Mass. Glee Club, '23-'25g NORMAL OFFERING Board, '26-'27, When we first learned that we were to have a real school-teacher as a member of our class, we were a wee bit timid. But, when Bella ap- peared with her most delightful smile, and her friendly, yet not presuming attitude, we laughed at ourselves. Wiith so many virtues to record, as we have discovered to be the case since we have known her, and so little space in which to record them, the task is a difficult one. Let it suffice to say that Bella possesses all of the qualities which explain her popularity here, and which assure her future success. Good luck, Isabella.

Buck is the boy with the admirable oratorical ability. He never ventures an opinion unless he can defend himself with a good line of argument. Buck has an immense store of resource- fulness, good humor, and initiative. His splendid pedagogical manner in front of a class will be of great assistance to him next year. Good luck, George, old boy! 170 Center Street, Bridgevi ater, Mass Basketball, '24-'26, N. A.

VVith jim no task is too involved. Proof of this is found in his elaborate notebooks, and in his many thorough charts of Greek culture, Roman laws, and Norman institutions, or in his well-arranged lesson plans in science, based on McMurray's Teaching by Projects . In character and manners their supreme excellen- cy lies in their simplicity. 'We wish you success, Jim. -4 25 39...
