Its no matter what you do If your hear! be only hue. A pair of sparkling blue eyes and a pair of gaily smiling lips-that's Anna. If anyone ever gave the world a clear im- pression of being a plug, Anna did it faithfully, though un- consciously, with the heavy bulging brief-case which always accompanied her on all her perambulations about B. N. S. As to Anna's greatest interests in life-you'll find them at- tached to the inside of her notebook cover. Lots of luck to you, Anna. RUTH SYMON DS MITCHELL 54 Allen St., Bradford.

Her air, her mamzers, all who saw admired. NVe used to think that Ruth was quiet before we knew her, but we Hnd that she is full of fun and is always ready to add her part to class discussions. Dependability, poise, and efficiency are all words which well describe Ruth through her four years in Bridgewater. Many of us are pondering the question as to how long she will teach school-how about it, Ruth? KATHERINE PACKARD 63 IfValnut St., Abington.

She is ever precise and promise-keeping. A rare combination-a scholar and an athlete! English history is Kay's favorite pastime and she surely shines therein. She also stars in basketball, swimming, and hockey. We are proud of our classmate to whom A was the only mark with which she was familiar. She is gay, spritely, lovable and has the admiration of her class. ...Q 24 5...

CLASSES MIRIAM GERTRUDE MAY 440 North Elm St., VVest Bridgewater. XV. A, A. '25-'29, Hockey '25g Basketball '27-'29 CCoach '29j Dancing '28-'29g French Club '27-'28g Pro and Con '28-'29. The heights by great men reached and kept Were not attained by sudden flight, But they 'while their companions slept Were toilirlg upward in the night. One glance at her History maps and History of Education charts would prove she was a worthy degree student. Miriam sure was the all-round girl of Class A-sports, studies, socials Cespecially entertaining by piano playingb-in all these ways were others envious of her. One could always depend on Miriam to uphold the reputation of the class by having all her assignments finished on time, even her English history. She has all the characteristics of a corking good teacher. ELIZABETH HARDING MCCLURE 86 Rounds St., New Bedford. NV, A. A. '26-'27g Library Club '26g Woodward House Board '26g Hockey '26g Student Council '28g Class Treasurer '29. Charms strike the sight, and merit 'wins the soul. Ways of calmness and ways of pleasantness are character- istic of Betty. She never finds fault with work, but always manages to have it finished on time, especially notebooks. Betty likes good times, and Bridgewater has not fallen Short in supplying her with them. We hope many others, when they leave Normal School, will follow her example of work and pleasure, for the combination of those two certainly make a pleasant and desirable person of Betty. EVELYN M ILDRED MacFARLAND 747 South St., Bridgewater. VV. A. A. '28-'29g Pro and Con '28-'29q Art Editor Campus Comment '28-'29g Assistant Art Editor NORMAL OFFERING '28-'29. Her modest looks the cottage might adorn, Sweet as the primrose peeps beneath the thorn. Evelyn is one of the artists of Class A. Wle fear Campus Comment would be lacking its artistic headings if Evelyn had not returned for her fourth year. She is never alone, for the Three Musquiters cannot be parted. Evelyn is a staunch supporter of Tuftsg we wonder why? -..JE 23 t...

We have many Helens in our class, but Helen Powers is the only one who is an exemplification of that quality known as Irish wit. Many are the times that we've had to stifle laughter in our hankies when Helen muttered witty things under her breath. And the best part of it all is that she is so unconscious of the fact that she is funny. Helen is a good talker, too. She seems to get wound up and has difficulty in stopping. Your sense of humor ought to help you a great deal, Helen. ' ANNE CATHERINE RALEIGH 749 Montello St., Brockton. Soul-deep eyes of darkest night. VVho is that stunning dark-haired girl in Class A? 'Why, that's Anne Raleigh. Anne is quite original, especially in Soc class, and do you remember her radical views in his- tory? WVhere Anne is there can be no sadnessg her laughter is heard everywhere. Her humor is bound to make her a successful teacher, for none can resist it. MARY GERTRUDE SAVAGE 80 Graham St., Quincy.

'25, '29, Hockey '29, Dancing '26-'28, Hospitality Committee '25-'29, Mathematics Club '27-'29, Her 'ways are ways of pleasanhzess, and all her paths are peace. Our Gert developed gradually, but surely, via C2 and Bl, from a demure little D2 girl, into a still demure but very popular A girly from a humble Freshman representative of the Day Student Council into the Senior President of that same Day Student horde, Besides these, she developed into a very efficient playground instructor, who was daily conveyed in appropriate style to her duties in the Squantum baby-carriage. With her big share of those A's that are so desirable and with her winsome personfalityj, she'll be a successful school ma'am. ...g 25 E...
