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.

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...

Imagination is ilze air of mind. That bright-eyed pleasant little girl is none other than Cathie. She is always ready for a good time: but when she must, she can be serious also. She has always been a great asset to athletic teams as well as to the class. Not only B. N. S., but Bridgewater as well, is proud of her and will always be glad to see her return-for more reasons than one. CLASSES GERTRUDE CECILIA SULLIVAN 83 Harrison St., Fall River. XV. A. A.

VVhether it be in athletics or in social affairs, Gert is always ready to show by her excellent example how to get the most out of life. Her success in athletics, proven by the position she holds this year, is not the only thing that has endeared Gert to us. Her ready wit and strong sense of humor, although imperceptible to certain personages, have made her a great favorite with everyone at Bridgewater. MARY ELEANOR SULLIVAN A 32 Maple St., Randolph. Manager Lost and Found De- partment: Alumni Editor of Campus Cornmentg VV. A. A. '25-'29, Soccer '27-'28, Baseball '28g Hockey '27-'28, Tennis '26, Reproof on her lips, but a smile in her eye. Whoopee -yes, that's Mary in her Buick: wouldn't you know? Always going somewhere and in a huge hurry. Well, Mary never did miss any of the socials, and always did her share toward helping others have an enjoyable evening. First thing Mary hears on arrival at school in the morning and the last thing at night is, Do you have charge of Lost and Found? That sure was a hard position for Mary to hold at first, but as we all know, she certainly made a success of it. . .r 1... ...1 27 T
