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. Student Council '28-'29, Day Student Council '25-'29 CRepresentative '25-'28g President '28-'29J W. A. A. '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...

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. Hockey '25-'29, Baseball '25-'29g Bowling '29, Basketball '26-'28-'29g Soccer '28, W. A. A.

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...

l929 NORMAL OFFERING MARJORIE RUSSELL SHAW 392 Moraine St., Brockton. XV. A. A. '25-'29g Basketball '26, '28, Editor-in-Chief Campus Comment '28-'29. HOII, blesl with temper whose mzclouded ray Can make Zo-morrow cheezful as lo-day. Marjorie defies platitudesg discovered in Class A-a woman with Titian hair, but minus a temper! Marj is the firm, even, steadfast, companionable sort of a person who resolutely sets a goal and gets there. She knew the school needed a news- paper, and she saw that it got one. Champion of Campus Comment, lover of sports, faithful student, good friend-all hail! EILEEN MARGARET SHEEHAN 68 Winthrop St., Brockton. VV. A. A. '25-'27g Baseball '26, Dancing '25-'28. JVIeasures, not men, have always been her mark. Petite, but very influential, especially in history class, is Eileen Sheehan, Would you like something good to eat? just go down to the domestic science room and there you will find Eileen and Helen serving the most delicious cocoa, cov- ered with a foam of marshmallow. It is still a puzzle how one so small could have managed a play-ground so successfully. DORCAS ELIZABETH SNOW 37 Milton St , Brocl-.ton Glee Club, 25 26, Library Club '28-'29, Literary Editor Campus Comment '28-'29, I love to lose myself in other menlv mirzdsg When I am not walking, I am reading. Class A gained a valuable addition when Dorcas was forced by illness to withdraw from her own class and continue in ours. For instance, what would we have done without her in Lit. discussions? This year we caught her reading fairy tales Cwhich we abandoned long agoj, and for what purpose? Why, she is the sole member of the Advanced Library Class, Some day we shall find her the head librarian in Boston or New York. Good luck, Dorcas, and may you realize all those ambitions. J ...i 26 5
