ARTHUR CLARKE BUYDEN Since I906 Principal of the Bridgewater State Normal School As the fourth principal of one of the oldest Normal Schools in America, Dr. Boyden is worthy of the great tradition fostered by his predecessors-a tradition of devotion to the highest and Hnest ideals of public education. NORMAL OFFERING 1931 PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS STATE NORMAL SCHOOL BRIDGEWATER - MASSACHUSETTS VOLUME NO. XXXI I I CAH S I T M DEDICATION to I-IORACE IVIANN And the nine decades of growth In Normal Schools Which his vision and courage Have made possible I-IORACE MANN I-IORACE MANN Turning back in history to the hfth century B. C. we come to that leaf upon which is written the name of Socrates, one of the world's great educational leaders, who through all the intervening ages continues to hold such a firm grasp upon our affections. As his world was Athens, so is America the world of Horace Mann, the educator who has been likened to a voice crying in the wilderness, whom men did hear, whom men did heed, and to whom men did respond. That men espoused the cause of education under such a leader is not strange. His life regarded in its most cursory aspects was commanding, since from his earliest years he was impressed with the importance of moral wealth and love of knowledge, while those years immediately following, when only hard work on his part earned textbooks, made him realize the sweetness of that mighty, compelling force,-education. Pure integrity of purpose enabled him to enter college only six months from the time he first saw a Latin grammar, and to graduate first in his class. Demosthenes is not the only man to be held up anew to each generation of youth as a guide in the path to success, because of the exercises and labors by which he achieved excellence in his art. To have known Horace Mann,-even to read of him,-is to experience in some degree his personal magnetism. A liberal mind, a generous heart, and refinement of ideals made him admired by his constituents and deeply loved by his friends. His tastes were marked by simplicity, the benevolence of his nature ever appeared in benefactions to individuals and to society. In fact, his ideals of the possibilities in human nature were so high that they caused him to be constantly disappointed by the failure of his fellowmen to reach a standard which seemed possible to him. On accepting the office of Secretary of the Massachusetts Board of Education in 1837, he Wrote in his diary: Henceforth as long as I hold this office I devote myself to the sup- remest Welfare of mankind on earth. My effort may do apparently but little, yet a mere beginning in a good cause is never little. If we can get this vast wheel into any motion, we shall have accomplished much. With these words expressing his great humanitarian sympathies, there is permitted only one last stroke of the brush to complete the picture which he himself has painted on the canvas of education: the mission to influence by enlightening rather than to control by authority is very near to the precepts of the Great Teacher. MARY ELIZABETH HAYES , fM3li4-j'.' HORACE MANN AND FIRST EXAMINATION AT FIRST NORMAL SCHOOL One of a group of murals painted by students of Massachusetts School of Art in Horace Mann Auditorium, Bridgewater Gift of Alumni A TRAINED TEACHER FOR EVERY CHILD It is fitting that the mural representing the first State Normal School in America should have the central place in our auditorium among those paintings which show the progress of education throughout the world. This one must be an inspiration to all who see it. It was at Lexington, July 3, 1839, that the dream of Horace Mann was realized, Massa- chusetts at last had a State Normal School! And the picture of this first Normal School was painted by a student of the Massachusetts School of Art, one of the many products of this small beginning. Although it may not seem so, the subject of this painting is one which is only too familiar -representing the entrance examination into the first state normal school, offering quite a contrast, in numbers at least, to the entrance examinations today. In the background is Horace Mann, whose broad vision and tireless labor made this establishment possible, and near him is the Reverend Cyrus Pierce, the first principal and teacher of the school. The three girls are, of course, the prospective pupils. The weather certainly gave no encourage- ment-it was raining heavily, a dark, gloomy, dismal day. Small wonder that only three persons were present. But he whom a dream hath possessed knoweth no more of doubting, and despite the small beginning, the hopes and ideals of the Father of Massachusetts Normal Schools never faltered. He is shown as a slim, grayhaired man with a mobile face alive with enthusiasm on this most auspicious day. Massachusetts, he believed, was the only state in the Union where Normal Schools could be established with any chance of success. How he had worked and hoped and planned for this day can be realized to only a slight extent when we consider his lectures, his educational reports, his writing and his Common School journal,--every- thing he did and said to further the cause. One of Mr. Mann's biggest problems was the selection of a principal for this school. He went over all New England before he found someone he thought could manage with a fair chance of success. He chose the Reverend Cyrus Pierce of Nantucket, an excellent teacher who possessed the supreme power of winning the confidence of his pupils. His responsibility was very great, greater even than he realized, for if the school were not re- garded favorably by the public at the beginning, the whole Normal School movement would be a failure. But this man who excelled in training both the mental and moral natures of his pupils, and whose motto was Live to the truth, did not fail, and the whole cause was strengthened by his presence. By the time the first quarter was over, there were twelve pupils, and, greatly encouraged, Mr. Pierce wrote in his journal that most of those who had attended had made a good beginning. This school at Lexington, however, was for women-students exclusively, it was moved twice before being permanently located, first to VVest Newton, and finally to Framingham. Thus with but three pupils and one teacher, less than a century ago was started the move- ment which proved to have such a glorious future. From this small beginning have come the teachers and leaders and educators who have spread and fostered the Normal School cause throughout the broad vastness of the United States. CATHERINE D1LLoN THE FIRST THREE PRINCIPALS OF THE BRIDGEWATER STATE NORMAL SCHOOL NICHOLAS TILLINGHAST Principal 1840-1853 MARSHALL CONANT Principal l853-1860 ALBERT GARDNER BOYDEN Principal 1860-1906 FIRST THREE PRINCIPALS VVhen Nicholas Tillinghast entered upon his work as the first principal of the Normal School at Bridgewater, normal schools were still at a stage where they had to prove their worth and show by their results that they were worthy of support. The want of a good building and appliances, as well as of an able assistant, had to be overcome by the principal. Courses of study had to be made and methods of teaching carefully considered, because as a teacher of teachers, his work must be exemplary. Mr. Tillinghast was born in Taunton, Massachusetts, September 22, 1804, and he was educated at VVest Point, where he later taught. At the request of Horace Mann he accepted the principalship of the State Normal School at Bridgewater, which was Opelled September 9, 1840, with twenty-eight pupils,-seven men, and twenty-one women. The principalship of Mr. Tillinghast lasted for thirteen years, during which time he de- voted himself to the work of establishing the school on a firm foundation, and in this work he was most successful. No greater tribute can be paid to him than that of one of his pupils, who said: He was sincere and true in all his dealings with himself and others. EUNICE VVHITTIER The second principal of the State Normal School, Mr. Conant, had always been in- terested in education and this interest paved the way to an acquaintance which soon ripened to friendship with Mr. Tillinghast. VVhen the latter resigned as principal he recom- mended his friend as his successor. At this time Mr. Conant was fifty-two years old and brought to the school a life full of varied and long experience as a civil engineer and teacher. His aim was to make the Normal School a real training school where the pupils should feel the responsibilities of their profession, and to this end he organized the scheme of having students teach before their own classes for further poise and corrective criticisms. One of his graduates says of Mr. Conant: Many a one owes to him an awakening and an in- spiration which changed the whole current of his thought and ennobled his whole life. DoR1s EKSTROM Because of the influence of two teachers whom he greatly revered, at the age of four- teen, Albert Gardner Boyden decided to become a teacher. Working steadily on a farm, and in the employ of his father, a blacksmith, he earned enough money to enter the State Normal School at Bridgewater. Mr. Boyden entered the Normal School in 1848, gradu- ated in 1849, and then spent an extra post graduate term at the school. On the twenty- second of August, 1860, Mr. Boyden, a young man thirty-three years old, was appointed principal of the State Normal School at Bridgewater. On being informed of his appoint- ment he characteristically replied, I shall do my best to meet the requirements. Mr. Boyden's term of forty-six years as principal has been memorable for the progress accom- plished by the school under his guidance. The establishment of a training school, the building of a new gymnasium, increase in the staff of teachers, and higher standards of ad- mission, characterize the progress carried on by him in the school. Mr. A. G. Boyden resigned the principalship of the school on August 1, 1906. At the same time, however, he was appointed to the honorable position of principal emeritus with charge of instruction in the educational study of man and the school laws of Massachusetts. At the time of Mr. Boyden's eightieth birthday his native town, Walpole, organized a celebration in recognition of the intellectual and educational work to which he had devoted his life. GRACE BRACE FIRST STATE NORMAL SCHOOL BUILDING IN AMERICA an D0 TU CD A-I 4-I r, Massachuse O u KU 3 L' CQ dicated in 1846 De TI-IE FIRST THREE NORMAL SCIFIOOLS The State Normal School at Bridgewater, or Westfield, or Framingham, has a few acres of tidy campus, a family of brick buildings, and a helter-skelter of sport shoes, sweaters, and berets of future school teachers. VVhat is the reason for this school? VVhose were the minds that fashioned the actuality out of dreams and made it possible for Massachusetts to have trained teachers for its public schools? james G. Carter, fired by memories of colonial ideals of common education and visions of American normal schools, fought fifteen years for their establishment before he aroused the public consciousness to the deficiency of the existing corps of teachers. Harassed school committees, searching for competent teachers, offered increases in salary for a higher quality of service, but in vain, because there were not enough capable teachers to supply the demands of Massachusetts' thirty thousand common schools. Thousands of children every year were exposed to the experiments of novices who were making their first attempt to teach, or to the indifference of college students who were trying to bolster their finances, or to the ignorance of mechanics who were temporarily out of work and who were filling in by teach- ing. In view of the threefold development of the competent teacher, who has a firm grasp of subject matter, a knowledge of the art of teaching, and practice in government, what must have happened in some of those schools when the pseudo-teachers each attempted to govern a group of forty children, conduct several lessons consecutively, and attend to all the hair-pulling and broken pens? As a result of this newly awakened teacher-consciousness came an offer from Edmund Dwight to contribute ten thousand dollars for the establishment of a Normal School if the legislature would add as much more to that sum. The offer was accepted and in 1838 re- solves were passed which authorized the building of a normal school. In order that the state as a whole might benefit from the project and judge its worth, it was decided to build three schools which would be continued three years as an experiment and made permanent if they proved of worth. On the third of july, 1839, the first normal school was opened at Lexington with three pupils. This school was removed to West Newton in 1844, and later to Framingham. The second normal school was opened at Barre in 1839 and later removed to Westfield. The third school was opened at Bridgewater in 1840 and has since continued there. The procedure of the first normal schools was definitely planned and, so thorough were our fathers, it has not been changed since. First, the students received their knowledge of the subjects that must be taughtg second, they investigated teaching with a view to finding the most effective way of simplifying subject matter so that children could understand it, third, they studied school government, and, fourth, they practiced these principles in a model school. Cyrus Pierce, first principal at Lexington, said, 'fl was desirous of putting our schools into the hands of those who would make them places in which children could learn, not only to read, write, spell, and cipher, but could gain information in various other topics, and have all their highest formation of character. This ideal of service, Not to be ministered unto, but to minister, is the reason for the existence of our first three normal schools and the secret of their vitality.

VVe shall always remember the first day, the newness, the beginning. It was a transition from high school to something different. Soon came the summer vacation and later our return for the sopho- more year with its classes, parties, dances, and our dictation of freshman rules. Then the junior year with its training period made us realize that coming events cast their shadows before. VVith the graduation at the close of this year we lost many classmates and friends. One summer more and we returned for our senior year. It seems hardly possible that four years have gone, that we are soon to take our degrees and leave Bridge- water forever. It has been a gay time, and a merry one, an experience of pleasure, a growth and development of friendship, a glorious four years of youth well spent. , We have done so many things since 1927 that a long, long procession of significant epi- sodes are recollected: of the campus in new spring grass and the magnolia tree in blossom, of dancing in the gym instead of or after lunch, of hilarity in the dorm and day student room. VVe've watched the interior of the school building become really beautiful with paintings and the chapel murals, and we've heard such splendid lecturers as Rollo Brown, Maurice Hindus, Garrett Beneker, No Yong Park, and Lorado Taft. VVe've seen Dramatic Club play Shakespeare as well as modern drama, and listened to the Boston Woodwind Ensemble, Yves Chardon, Frederick Tillotson, Mrs. H. H. A. Beach, and our own Glee Club and Orchestra. All this we have known while the ivy has been slowly creeping over the red brick walls for four brief years.

She heartily dislikes getting up for break- fast, having creamed eggs, or coming in at eight o'clock. The laughing light of her eyes shows forth the merry, carefree disposition which has made her such a popular girl and such a lovable friend. 521 Pawlmg Avenue, Troy, New York. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4.

Her activities in sports are well known to all of us. She didn't need to tell us that she liked dark men, but We should like to know just what she has against New York State. She is entirely without selfishness or conceit and does not like to find these qualities in others. 23 l93l NORMAL OFFERING DOROTHY BOOTHBY 26 Wfoodlawn Street, Randolph, Mass. Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4. W.

Here's Dot, who admits she enjoys eating, country life, dancing, dramatics, freedom of speech and Normal School, and who has no use for hypocrisy, park- ing, formality, conceit, race prejudice, and pistachio nuts. Doesn't she prove they're all wrong? EDITH BOTTOM LEY 625 june Street, Fall River, Mass. Glee Club 2, 3, 4. W'e had the best week-end riding up over the Mohawk Trail! Yes, it's Edith who said that, for she likes nothing better than to spend week-ends and vacations picnicking and riding. But how she hates getting up for the early train back here on Monday morning. Her fine mathematical mind is especially helpful to her in playing bridge, for it is almost uncanny how she remembers every card. Drop in to Room 34 and you'll find Edith-always listening to music,-l1old- ing open house. DORA LOUISE BUKER 341 Liberty Street South Braintree Mass Here's a girl we know only from the way those day student friends of hers sing her praises. We had judged her to have a quiet sense of humor from the funny little quirk about her mouth when Mr. Hunt makes some of his dryly comical re- marks, and we believe because she likes candy, children, music, movies, and peaches, and dislikes cold weather, shop- ping, and dry lectures, that she is an intensely human person. 24 CLASSES MARY GRACE CHILDS 1259 South Street, Bridgewater, Mass. French Club 1. Hockey 2. Vice-President Pro and Con 2. Class Editor Normal Offering 2. Camera Club 4. Literary Editor Normal Offering 4. That Mary enjoys reading Barchester Towers and the other Trollope novels may explain the charming, lilting quality of her poetry and her love of the purple-shadowed mountains of Vermont. Since she thinks gym classes, rice, and Carl Sandburg a waste of time, we have this individual person who anticipates every down of the football season, communes with a certain beautiful painting of a river, and writes her own novel.

Library Club 4. Camera Club 4. Bowling 4. Barbara says she likes life, and after being with her for three years we know she does. You will almost always End her wherever there is a merry crowd, for she doesn't like being alone. Barbara has much of that vitality that she admires in others. If you want to be friendly with her, don't tease her, or order her about. She is going to find a school that doesn't make people go out in cold weather, but only has short summer sessions, 25- l93I NORMAL OFFERING ELIZABETH ERNA COPP 249 Green Street, Brockton, Mass.

And that isn't all. There are week-ends, spreads, books, movies, rolls, and what not among her weaknesses. Anne dislikes counting money because she is so tired of handling all that Class A money. Inspection, math, and notebooks are among her strongest dislikes, and roller coasters, too. We wonder why. Anne has the personality, the smile, and the cheery word which endears her to all. , VIRGINIA CUNNINGHAM 8 Myrtle Street, Middleboro, Mass. junior Representative from Gates 1. Secretary-Treasurer of Social Activities Committee 2. Secretary of junior Class 3. President of Student Cooperative Association 4. Dormitory Council 4. Between student government work and entertaining Tom- my, Ginny's time is pretty well taken up. She has no fear of eating, even candy, for she just won't put on weight. Music, football, reading, driving and waltzing with Tommy are for Ginny divine. As a history teacher she is outstanding. Knowing her, we understand why she abhors pretense and math of any sort, especially counting the minutes 'til 9.45: Detective stories are not on her book list and she refuses to hurry. Does she like permanents? Ask her. 26 CLASSES CATHERINE ALICE DILLGN 709 Maple Street, Fall River, Mass. VV. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Dancing 1, 2, 3. Glee Club 2, 3, 4. Choir 2, 4. Secretary 4.

After seeing Catherine run for that bus every Friday, we do not wonder that she likes week-ends and vacations. Her vacations are well taken up with dancing, theatres and out- door sports. Her love for math is well shown by the way she cuts figures on the ice and her love for lit by her frequent visits to the town library. She dislikes catty people and bor- ing classes. We agree with you, Cath, but tell us, just what have you against fire-drills? ELIZABETH PGPE DOYLE 21 Fairmount Street, Randolph, Mass. Glee Club 4. The whole story about the uncommunicative, frank, but extremely likable Lib has come out at last. She likes dancing, school, desolate beaches, singing, moonlight, drama, and flowers: and has a special grudge against sneerers, modernis- tic art, college suitcase stickers, back-seat drivers, thought- lessness, and librarians. Figure her out if you can-we gave it up! 27' DOROTHY JEAN DINEGAN 35 Hall Place, Quincy, Mass. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Head of Hikes 2. Secretary 3. President 4. T. C. 1. Social Activities 3.

She has a keen interest for all athletics, swimming and dancing. It happens that she dis- likes oatmeal and wild west pictures, but this doesn't in- clude everything from the West-of Massachusetts. Alice's acquaintances are usually familiar with her appetite and see to it that she has her weekly hot chocolate. MARJORIE DARLING FITCH 239 Hancock Street, South Braintree, Mass W. A. A. 1, 2.

She thor- oughly enjoys a good argument and is fond of dancing, music, and travel. Her specialty is dramatics-and all that goes with it. Conceited men and liver are equal evils in her opin- ion, and along with them goes the person who sneers. She is a good worker and seems to enjoy helping everyone.

She dislikes going to bridge parties or teas. Please don't try to talk golf or operations to Helen because she won't listen. She likes all games and sports, is interested in people and nature- Hhunian and otherwise as she expresses it. We all know why Helen likes the name Betty , but now we find that she has been hiding from us a secret fondness for the hour of midnight and a lunch served at that hour. DOROTHY ELIZABETH GALLANT BERNICE AMELIA FOUNTAIN North Main Street, Raynham, Mass. W. A. A. 4. We all respect a person who dislikes gossip, and Bernice is indeed worthy of that respect. She enjoys hiking, dancing, and tennis, but her more serious nature finds expression in reading and handwork. As she is a sociable person herself, she likes friendly people. Although her notebooks are always up to date she dislikes keeping them, and she has also confess- ed a deep dislike for first period lectures, as most of her 'spares' occur at that time. 60 Lincoln Street, North Abington, Mass.

Dot likes to go and never stop-that is, if we go slow enough. The only time she was seen to hurry was when a mouse was on her trail. Week-end parties and moonlight are her weak- nesses. She's the type of girl who is exceedingly happy when the red light is against her. There are four things she dis- likes-P. G's, hulks, cold beds, and effusive people. 29' l93I NORMAL OFFERING CECILE EDILE GIGUERE 2305 Acushnet Avenue, New Bedford, Mass. French Club 1, 2, 3, 4. Vice-President 3. Presi- dent 4.

Beauty in any form is also appreciated by her. This extends even to the form taken by Milky W'ays. Figs, however, she dislikes. Since she is a student of philosophy an interesting discussion on the topic may be forthcoming from her at any time. Pettiness has no part in her make-up and she finds it hard to forgive in others.

The author of our class song has all the ear marks of a poet, even to long hair. Dancing, along with other sports, is en- joyed by this enthusiast. She likes reading, theatre-going, and riding, but not on trains. Perhaps it is her poetic nature which makes her see something romantic in A. 81 P. stores and visiting, and dislike long assignments, mosquitoes, and sherbet. 30 CLASSES ALICE MARGARET GUINEA 535 West Centre Street, Cochesett, Mass.

She asks what better way there is to enjoy life than to go to New York by boat with plenty of dancing, music, and fog to enliven the trip. Elizabeth, A2's best scholar, has a liking for Ruth Chatterton. She thoroughly enjoys good books, good music, and the radio. To rise early on a cold morning, run for the train, and then listen to the choir, and afterwards go to a Psychology class is her idea of the week's worst day. FLORENCE ELIZABETH MEACHAM 21 Grenada Terrace, Springfield, Mass. VV. A. A. 4. Bowling 3, 4. Florence entered our class in our junior year, coming to us from North Adams Normal School. She is very quiet and reserved and has added dignity to the light-hearted A class. Long assignments aren't her specialty, for Florence would rather be at a movie, hiking, enjoying Casey's specials or just vacationing and enjoying crew races. She loves children, if they are in the city, but dislikes the country where one must get up for seven o'clock breakfast. 38 CLASSES MARJORI E LEONARD MOSHER Nonquitt, Mass. VV. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4.

Marjorie is almost as devoted to Rudy and his orchestra as she is to the pipe organ records in VVoodward 36. In fact, every type of music holds a charm for Marje, and we must admit our envy of her own vocal ability. Her favorite sports are tennis, miniature golf, and swimming, but she does enjoy a good football game-from the observer's standpoint of course. Of her confessed weakness for rumble seats we can say little, but it is quite safe to mention her fondness for read- ing and for poetry. Marjorie doesn't care for rain in summer, for hospitals, or for straight hair. She is quiet and unob- trusive, but we all know that when we gain her friendship, We have addedja permanent and priceless treasure to our stores.

Mary and music-they are inseparable, and we must con- fess our envy of Mary's musical talent. Her accomplish- ments are unlimited, but favorite among her pastimes are cooking, sewing, skating, swimming, and dancing. Mary dislikes eggs almost as much as she does math, and classed with these are inquisitive and narrow-minded people. She claims that she doesn't like to work. That may be, but we take it with a grain of salt, for she is ever willing to lend a helping hand. 273 Summer Street, Bridgewater, Mass. W. A. A. 1. Glee Club 1, 2. Dramatic Club, Business Manager 3.

A sunny disposition makes Betty abhor pessimistic people, but love children, housework, and fun. Betty's work as editor of Campus Comment has been sufficient evidence of her capability. She knows how to make people work. Horse- back riding, skating, and now library periods with a certain person make life enjoyable for her. Crowds and such amuse- ments as roller-coasters have no fascination for Betty. Her aspirations are domestic. 39' I93l NORMAL OFFERING HELEN MATHILDA ROBBINS Harwich, Mass. T. C. 1, 2, 3, 4. President T. C. 3 Vice-President 4. Bridge when played in real earnest is one of the things about which Helen can become enthusiastic. Perhaps it is because she is so mathematically minded, or still it may be the people with whom she plays. Her other likes include the radio and reading. The wide range of her reading has been proved to us in Literature Class. Her pet aversions are talking in chapel and people who talk baby talk. NVho wouldn't understand why? M ARGARET GERTRUDE SHORTALL 1073 Union Street, Rockland, Mass. XN. A. A. 3. Bowling 4. It is no wonder to us that Peg dislikes cars that won't start, for she has had plenty of trouble this year, as a chauffeur. Peg craves excitement, perhaps that's why she left Hyannis for Bridgewater-who knows? She likes movies but her affections for light-haired men are not confined to light-haired men of the cinema, we fear. If you wish to be a friend of hers-and it is indeed a pleasure-don't be conceited or sar- castic. w HELEN GWENDOLYN STANDISH 93 VValnut Street, Stoughton, Mass. W. A. A. 3, 4. Head of Tennis 3. French Club 3, 4. Vice- President 4. Hockey 2, 3. Basketball 1, 2, 3. Country roads with street lights few and far between and houses set back from the trodden path have a strange fascina- tion for helpless Gwendolyn. Her Hcacklingu testifies to her sense of humor which is ever waiting for a stimulus. Gwen- ny is really domestic and quite efficient despite her frail and feminine appearance. Two is company for her and one is herself. To effusiveness, formality, conceit and P.Cv.'s she has a strong aversion. Frankness, music, cards, and driving Cat certain places with certain peoplej provide her with much enjoyment. 40 CLASSES KATHERINE SULLIVAN 445 Linden Street, Fall River, Mass. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3.

Dancing and canoeing have a great drive-that is when the virile young man is in attendance. Cold weather is her bug- bear-and as for cold beds! The wee morning hours have a peculiar fascination for her. A very amiable girl is Kay with dislikes few and far between. To know her is to love her. President 4.

And Alice, since she has a mind of her own, knows what she wants. Books and good movies always interest her. As for hockey and bowling, they are her favorite sports, except when a certain young man plays basketball. Bridge and dancing are valuable social assets. Alice likes brownies butdetests turnips and con- ceited men. 41 LEGNORA RUTH SULLIVAN 86 Buffington Street, Fall River, Mass. W. A. A. 1. Pro and Con 1, 2, 3, 4. Vice-President 3, We all know of Lee's liking for debating but we never knew she harbored a strange dislike for mill whistles and people who enjoy ill health. Perhaps her summer work has in- fluenced her liking for children's hospital wards. She is fond of hiking, swimming, and dancing. Lee is happy away from crowd-ed cities, camping out where she can hear and see the thunder and lightning, and preferably near the ocean. Her own broadmindedness has led her to dislike people who are narrow-minded. I93I NORMAL OFFERING ELEANOR COLLINS TARBOX 27 Willard Street, East Braintree, Mass. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4.

She is fond of sport clothes, and we think that school-girl complexion must be maintained by participation in the sports of which she is so fond. Block prints, silhouettes, and design hold a fascina- tion for her, but long words, snakes, and anything that she can't keep her eyes on are her aversions. GLADYS PEARL WILKIE INA ELLEN WIITANEN Charles Avenue, Sandwich, Mass. French Club 3, 3, 4. Tennis 1, 2, 3, 4. Ina's cheerful smile and merry giggle make her a jolly member of her class. The week-end, to her, is the best part of the week, for then she can spend her time reading Rupert Brooke, seeing Gary Cooper, or her favorite pen-and-ink comedies. She strongly dislikes outlines and notebooks. Ina has a strange weakness for China and the Chinese people. We know that her pupils will never find her precise or pedan- tic, and a person of her sunny disposition will surely be success- ful. R. F. D. No. 3, Middleboro, Mass.

Frank has transferred from Fitchburg Normal School and is taking his degree at Bridgewater. Frank is generally an example of what the well dressed man is wearing.

Nothing too much. Dora faithfully emulates the wise Greeks in her policy of being neither too good nor too bad. Like the Greeks she aims to achieve a life beautifully balanced physically and men- tally, and because of this she is an ideal pal, sensible and de- pendable.

Compan- ionship with such a literary person has strengthened her interest in poetry, and she even writes it when she has nothing else to do. One thing we always like about her is her sunny smile and that infectious laugh that suddenly rises to high G. She has a pleasant disposition that chasing for trains has not spoiled. We'll never forget what happened because she should have eaten more breakfast! QPage Zimmie j 55 RUTH HESTER CUSH MAN 270 Beach Street, VVollaston, Mass. VV.A.A. 2. Life Saving Course 2. Chairman C Class Party. Treasurer B Class. Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale her Ruth is gay, spritely, lovable, and has the admiration of her class. After she entered Bridgewater in her second year she readily made friends, and soon was one of our outstanding members. A pleasing manner and charming personality have made her many friends, and the good times enjoyed in the company of this fun-loving girl will ever be pleasant mem- ories to many of her comrades. One might truthfully state that school without her laugh would seem as strange as school without exams. l93l NORMAL OFFERING MARY DENISE DANAHY 46 Center Street, Canton, Mass. Class Secretary 1, 2.

Mary is that girl in B3 with the eyes and the smile-you couldn't miss her if you tried. There's something about her that makes the hearts of susceptible males beat faster, and have a suspicion that her week-ends at home aren't entirely to see her family. We understand that at present she has a propensity for military uniforms. Don't misunderstand us, Mary has other interests. Anyone who has seen her streak down a hockey field or knock the pins over in the alleys will vouch for that. Keep going, Mary, we'll cheer for you! MARGARET CATHERINE DAVIS 812 Washington Street, South Braintree. VV. A.A. 3. Captain Hockey 3. Commuters' Hockey Team 3. All Senior Hockey Team 3. The joy of youth and health in her eyes displayed. Although she has been at B.N.S. only a short time, Margaret has made a name for herself in sports. She entered into athletics with a zealous spirit, and became captain of the B2 hockey team. Later she was chosen a member of the All- Senior and the Commuters' hockey teams. She is especially fond of green-and certain parts of the Cape! Her animation seems to be contagious, as does that spirit with which she enters everything. We thank Hyannis Normal School for you, Margaret. GRACE RITA DURAN 116 Barnaby Street, Fall River, Mass. It's no matter what you do If your heart be only true. Gracie Doran with her slow, sure smile has won us all. You can enter comp class almost anytime to find her start- ling B's with the analysis of some befuddled clause. She likes sports, games, and dancing.

Evelyn certainly excelled in sports in her three years here at Normal School, but athletics were not her only accomplish- ment. In fact, we envy her the reputation of doing every- thing well. Poise, efficiency, and congeniality are words which describe Evelyn as we have known her. She has never been afraid to take responsibility and we have always found her ready and willing to help in any activity. We certainly wish her success and the good fortune which she deserves. 17 Eustis Street, Wollaston, Mass VV.A.A. 2. Library Club 2. Hockey 1, 2. Assistant Literary Editor Normal Offering 3.

Doris is the girl with the brown eyes and the always correct, good-looking clothes. She is exceptionally talented too, for she has writing ability, poetry being her specialty. Doris likes us to think she dislikes hard work but in reality she does much of it. She also possesses that delicate quality of tact which has served us in good stead. With such ability Doris should easily take her place in Bridgewater's Hall of Fame. 57' I93I NORMAL OFFERING MARY FRANCES FLAHERTY 58 Academy Street, South Braintree. W.A.A. 2, 3. Basketball 2.

If you call on her to help you out, she is always willing. During her three years with us we have discovered her talent in drawing figures, made interesting by what might be called especially adapted arms and legs. When Mary came back from training she received many letters from the children wishing her luck in a Held which is not that of pedagogy.

Who hasn't seen Delia dashing over the gym floor after the bounding ball, and, what is more, getting it? It is partly to Dee that we owe our Freshman Basketball Championship. She excels in scholas- tic endeavors also, especially in solving difficult math prob- lems. We shall probably hear of Dee in later years as an instigator of a movement for better girls' basketball. 58 CLASSES HELEN RGSETTA GOVE 29 Orchard Street, Taunton, Mass. Wl.A.A. 3.

We all know Bren, tall, slender, with ever a smile, and somewhat harassed with those problems always arising which she so conscientiously takes to heart.

If you want to know anything about running decoration com- mittees for socials, you will find an everlasting fount of in- formation in Kay. HARRIET HOLMES Bay View Avenue, Plymouth, Mass. Thought is often bolder than speech. Harry came to us from Cworhamg and what a sweet and jolly addition she has been. We still remember the transition from a little girl with short hair to the grown up sedate lady we have now. Changed in appearance though she was, she still remained the sparkling little imp of laughter. History and Methods cause her thrills and joys. How?

Norma has been a successful participant in many varied activities during her years at Normal School. She is always ready with interesting, useful ideas.

Always a good sport and willing worker, she has gained a rep for herself by refereeing those many hockey games on the campus and in outside schools.

Winifred Bromley History In September, 1928, We entered Bridgewater Normal School as six K.P. 3's. During our first term we had all our classes with the Junior 3 division, and it was a long time before we were recognized as K.P.'s and not juniors. Our second term, Kindergarten Theory was added to our list of studies, which for the first time differentiated us from the other divisions of the Normal School. Miss Wells was our instructor and many happy hours were spent in her room. She gave us valuable information about carrying on a Kindergarten, and taught us many songs, games, and plays to teach to children. When we returned the following fall, how different everything seemed! Our conspicuous Freshman pins now remained things of the past, and we were to be looked upon as upper classmen. How glad We were to meet all our old friends again! We welcomed the entering K.P. class by giving an informal tea in their honor. The second six weeks of the second term were spent in the Training School. These weeks fled rapidly and before we knew it the beginning of the third term had come. We all enjoyed a very pleasant three months' training in the Kindergarten, under the supervision of Miss Wells and Miss Keyes. During this time we learned, much to our regret, of the resignation of both Miss Wells and Miss Keyes. At the end of the school year a reception was given in their honor by the K.P. classes. September, 1931, found the six of us at the Normal School, for thirteen weeks of study. VVe missed Miss Wells greatly, but enjoyed a pleasant course of Methods under her successor, Miss Lutz. In November the K.P. classes had an informal party, to which we invited Miss Pope, Miss Wells, Miss Keyes, Miss Lutz, Miss Caldwell, and Miss Marks. During this middle term we are all outside training, each in a different place. We are all looking for- ward to being together the spring term, as we resume, for the last time, our course of studies at the Normal School. WINIFRED E.

She has repre- sented us in choir and Glee Club for three years, and has compiled a music curriculum for use in her teaching. Nor is music her only field of interest. She can run a tea beauti- fully and can give you any amount of data about what and how much to serve. Isn't that an asset? We'll miss you, Mary, and we wish you just the best of success and happiness always. WINIFRED EVELYN BROMLEY Myricks, Mass. W. A. A. 3. Class secretary 3. jest and youthful jollity. Although Winnie impressed us at first with her serious- minded and conscientious ways, we all remember how often she entertained us with her Scotch jokes as we struggled with baskets in handwork. The honorable seat of class penman is already taken by her, and she still drills diligently. You have certainly helped the six K.P.'s to struggle along, Winnie, and we wish you success. Only don't misunderstand your pupils by thinking they are as fond of tests as you are. ANNIE ELFRED HOPKINS 38 Lowell Street, Brockton, Mass. Hockey 1. Basketball 1. Normal Offering 2. W. A. A. 3. What, worry? And I so young! Annie is the K.P. with the Titian hair, the most jovial mem- ber of the class. In spite of usual obstacles she manages to have a good time in school and out of it. Her sense of humor has saved the day many times. That one can be both care- free and studious can be proved when we learn that light- hearted Annie has high scholastic standards. 74 CLASSES MARJORIE MAY MANLEY 43 Pine Street, Taunton, Mass.

She has been the class captain the three years here, and has steered it through its trials with gym, notebooks, penmanship, budgets, nature study, projects, and black-board drawing.

The smallest but one of the sweetest members of our class is Teenie. What she lacks in height she makes up in good deeds, especially when we lose our notes. Art and handwork are her particular excellencies, and her masterpiece is a clay shoe, molded to illustrate the old woman who lives in a shoe , you know. 302 Grove Street, Ch1copee Falls, Mass.

Not only is she talented in music, but in the solution of phy- chological questions and in philosophical discourse as well. She is a great philosopher indeed. During our sophomore year she studied philosophy to such an extent that we almost lost her, but she decided to return to Normal to complete her course. 75' l93l NORMAL OFFERING SIX K.

XVill you ever forget those green buttons? Our success in sports was outstanding, for our Hockey and Basketball teams were the champions of the school. These things we recall with pleasure as we talk with friends of our Freshman year at B. N. S. VVe are Sophomores nowl That is first signified by our place sin the auditorium. VVe have moved down a few rows. If you attended the Sophomore Sport's Social you know what a peppy class we have. That spirit of sportsmanship, so prominent in our Freshman year, we are carrying with us. Already we have proved ourselves champions at Hockey and are carrying on successfully Basketball and other sports. Along with the glory of being a Sophomore comes that taste of the teaching profession which we get during our six weeks in Training School. We hope they discover in us the necessary qualities for a good teacher. Our class is leading the wayl We are leaders in clubs and other activities of the school. May we always carry with us the dignity that is ours and remember our motto: Not to be ministered unto, but to minister. ELIZABETH LAWRENCE 77A 1931 NORMAL OFFERING Abbott, Dorothea E .

The Student Council, or the executive board of the Association, is the greatest unifying force, because the members represent both men and women, as Well as the classes and divi- sion of the classes. It is composed of the officers of the Student Cooperative Association together with the Class Presidents and the Representatives of each of the class divisions, the President of the Day Student Council, and the President of the Dormitory Council. The meetings of the Student Council are held on the fourth Friday of the month, and regular attendance is required in order to carry out the work efficiently. , It is the aim of the Student Cooperative Association to act in cooperation with both faculty and students and in so doing raise the scholastic and social standards of the school.

By sponsoring these parties, the Council has come into closer contact with the prob- lems of the dormitory girls whose interests it represents. Working out problems and interpreting rules which have caused misunderstanding between dorms and between faculty and students has been the most signihcant work of the Council. In the freshmen who lived up to the regulations so good-naturedly, we see the evidence of the best sports ever. Here's hoping they have as Hne a group to initiate next year. At last the Reception Room looks more homelike with its books and magazines. Through the efforts of Dorm Council and the cooperation of some of the members of the faculty, it has been possible for us to have these. With new lamps placed by cozy tables in the corners, the Council hopes to entice the girls from outside the dining hall into the Reception Room. From suggestions for later breakfast to pleas for light-cuts is only a small range of the plans which the Council has brought up and discussed. All suggestions have been in- vestigated and judged according to the reasonable points for and against. VVhen, at the suggestion of Dormitory Council, the girls were asked to contribute their dimes to some charitable society rather than to spend them on the traditional comic gifts at Christmas time, all dorms responded to a girl, even though many were down to their last dime. This whole-hearted spirit of the girls, the effective leadership, and the splendid coo- peration of the members, have made Dormitory Council an intensely alive and pro- gressive organization.

The Day Students have been more active in school aHairs this year than ever before. In spite of the disadvantage of travelling, practically every member of the group is interested in some club. More students than ever have found time to stay at school to act, develop films, or sing. ' As a group, the Day Students sponsored a Christmas party, the proceeds of which were given to charity. The party was fun and gave some freshmen a chance to show their origi- nality. The annual social was held January 16, as an International Ball. The gymnasium was decorated with national flags. The humorous entertainment represented a part of a Naturalization Class. The appearance of the Day Students' room has been improved by gay flower pots. Pro and Con and Library Club have served hot lunches. So, in spite of catching trains and trolleys, the Commuters are an active group.

Irene Goody Mary Lavelle Mary Allen Marie Rousseau Dorothy Chatterton Harriet Brown Edward VVelch john Buckley Norma Johnston Barbara Dunham This year Social Activities Committee again had the honor of presenting the first two events of the season-the Freshman Acquaintance Social and an Informal Dance. These events were followed by many other enjoyable programs in charge of the various clubs, classes, and councils, including Formal and Informal Dances, Class Socials, Orchestra and Glee Club Concerts, Dramatic Club Plays, Dormitory Council Bridge Parties and a Charity Dance. The Wednesday night dances have been made doubly popular this year by music from the School Orchestra, led by john Buckley, new records for the electrola, and corn meal on the Gym floor. Class parties have been frequent, even the Freshman undertaking one which proved very successful. We have enjoyed working with students and faculty to make this year socially valuable and we wish our successors an equally fine season.

Mary Lavelle Secretary-Treasurer Thais Maxfield Secretary Chalf yearj Marjorie Mosher Woodward Dormitory Wfoodward Dormitory has concluded another most happy and successful year, success- ful both socially and financially through the fine spirit of the girls, upperclassmen and freshmen alike. Cooperation has been shown in candy and sandwich sales, and in raising money by lending a hand along the line of art in which each is most accomplished. A kitchen, a laundry, and a recreation room have been equipped for the use of the girls in the dormitory, and several minor improvements have been installed. The dormitory, once it began earning banners to adorn its lobby, was loath to be with- out one, so this year the hockey banner has done the honors for VVoodward. Very enjoyable parties have been held at house meetings celebrating the holidaysg and a Hallowe'en Dance sponsored by VVoodward, was but one of our social events. Owing to the size of the dormitory and to the amount of work that the secretary- treasurer had to accomplish each week of the term, it was decided that the present secre- tary-treasurer continue the duties of treasurer, and to elect a new secretary. Therefore, this dormitory, since the last of january, has had four officers to carry on its duties. With such a fine record, we end the dormitory year, hoping that future years will be as successful and as full of happy memories as this year has been. THAIS MAXFIELD 93 ORMAL OFFERING f , . , -.

Irene Goody Secretary-Treasurer Verda Dunn June, 1931, marks the end of a most happy year in Normal Hall,-one that is note- worthy both for accomplishments and for comradeship. The permission to use electric appliances is a great delight to the girls, they have long wanted to become domestic. Judging from the interesting dishes that are prepared, they evidently use most complete and varied cook-books. To introduce the Freshmen at our acquaintance social, we reminded them through a realistic ghost story, of the fate that frequently befalls victims of initiations in colleges. This convinced them that even our dormitory may contain much mystery. The Sophomores and juniors have contributed their share Cand perhaps moreb of amuse- ment by relating incidents of training school and practice teaching and how they discovered their own ability Cor disabilityl and became more enlightened on the subject of children. The successful Christmas party in charge of the Freshmen proved that the new members of our dormitory family had brought talent and a spirit of friendliness that have made Normal Hall a most enjoyable place in which to live. The cheeriness of our dormitory is enhanced by the fresh plants and flowers on the sec- ond floor landing, that were supplied from the greenhouse by a committee in charge. Likewise, the bulletin board committees have kept us informed about topics in the various fields of education and about interesting bits of news in general. Miss Graves, a new member of the faculty, and Miss Decker have been so congenial and exemplary that we thank them for showing us how radiant teachers may be. I As the A's leave us we realize the gap in our group, since they compose almost half of the membership. W'e, who remain, wish them the best of luck always, and give our pledge to carry on the friendly spirit which is the beacon-light of Normal Hall.

Marie Rousseau Secretary-Treasurer Dolores Rousseau Beginning in September, 1930, the little dorm around the corner had eighteen bright, intelligent looking, and practical young ladies residing in its halls. The Freshmen, numbering nine, soon looked upon Gates House as a pleasant, home-like dorm. In fact, they were soon forgetting that they were but Freshmen. Because of this the big-hearted upperclassmen kindly reminded them by having a Freshman Initiation Party where the future rules and regulations were laid down rigidly for the poor little ones. It was a very humorous party. At this time we learned what good sports these Freshmen were, and we almost doubled-up when we received the so-called Gates' high sign from them. Gates House girls showed their skill on the hockey field when they Won over Normal Hall, and even tied the powerful and over-confident Woodward team. But, their second game! Poor little Gates lost, after putting up a good fight. VVe mustn't forget the thrills Gates House girls received when a radio was installed. VVe certainly appreciate it and our favorite program ssems to be the Singing Iceman ,- not Rudy. And, oh, there was our unique Christmas party. We listened like little children to the interesting story until the refreshments were served. Those of us who are graduating will miss the life at Gates as well as the night air received from fire drills, and those who are returning to school most certainly plan to have Gates House as their home again.

EXPLANATION In the pages of Normal Offering an attempt has been made to devote the first part of the book to the people and events which have become part of Normal School history through the years from 1839 to our own day. In so doing, Horace Mann is the first to receive our homageg and moving forward from the establishment of his third school here at Bridgewater nine decades ago, we acknowledge with sincere appreciation those men and women from whom we have received a heritage of ideals, and a tradition of service. In planning the drawings for Normal Offering, the Art Department has this year, as in previous years, borne in mind the nature of the dedication of the book and has tried to keep it a unified whole. A brief explanation of some of the pages may be of value in understand- ing the symbols used to carry out this idea in the present issue. The page for Classes symbolizes modern graduates in black caps and gowns showing in the background, former graduates wearing white caps and gowns or white dresses. For the Student Cooperative Association page, a winged wheel of progress was used. The cogs symbolizing cooperation, each spoke, a decade, and the shaft of light signifying that progress has been possible only through the light of former years. The Organization page features athletics. The modern girl in the foreground swings a baseball bat, while her prim sisters of long ago do strenuous waist bending exercises. The modern literary miss pounds out her stories on a typewriter, on the Literature page, however, her shadow shows how these girls once used quills with which to set down their thoughts. For the headings, silhouettes were used, thus the whole represents the quaintness of former days and the symbols of the present. APPRECIATION The Editorial Board of Normal Offering for 1931 wishes to acknowledge the generous aid and cooperation given by Miss Davis, Miss Nye, Miss Pope, and Mr. Kelly, as faculty advisers. 101 A l93I NORMAL OFFERING CAMPUS COMMENT F A ' f-A - , E CAMPUS COMMENT STAFF Elizabeth O'Donnell ....... . .

CAMPUS COMMENT Campus Comment started its third year at Bridgewater State Normal School with the definite aim of bequeathing a permanent and definite arrangement of the newspaper to the students of future years. In addition, new features of popular interest have been introduced. Through the medium of the Forum, diverse opinions on subjects of vital interest to all have been discussed. Students are not now deprived of the right of free speech . Contributions are not limited to the students, for the faculty has been asked to conduct a column regarding their various activities and interests. The wealth of material that has been forthcoming necessitated the enlargement of the paper. Special issues included pictures and notes of especial interest to the different classes. Two delegates, Elizabeth O'Donnell and Gertrude Laird, attended the convention of the Columbia Scholastic Press Association at Columbia University, in March. Their reports will undoubtedly prove helpful to next year's staff. In order to more adequately cover all activities of the school, class editors, club repre- sentatives, and dormitory representatives were added to the staff. Thus, each issue was able to report the main social events of the month in a more intimate and reminiscent man- ner than heretofore, and new projects were more clearly explained through interviews with the sponsors.

Several worthwhile projects have been sponsored by this organization. The cir- culating library has been well started and many of the best new books have been made avail- able to the school through this channel. Another method used by the club to further its literary aims, and one that incidentally helped the finances of the organization, was to sell magazines. The social side of the club has likewise been successful. The programs have been en- joyable and worthwhile. One of the most interesting meetings was that at which Miss E. Louise jones from the State Division of Public Libraries spoke on the subject The Service the Library Division Renders to the Libraries of the State. IVe hope that next year, Library Club will be able to serve both its members and the school by helping them to become better acquainted with the best literature of all ages.

There have also been many valuable talks presented at the meetings. One of these was on the preservation of our animals and birds, a subject in which all members are interested. Not only are the members interested in this, but they are pleading its cause. They ask you all to become preservers instead of destroyers. T. C.'s chapel date was on january twenty-second, and at this time a film on the beauties of nature in the Rocky Mountains, was presented. There was also a merry social in March. Then, too, there have been several trips to such places as the Arnold Arboretum and bird sanctuaries. These were instructive as well as enjoyable. Altogether this year has been a successful one for the club, as previous years have been. ENA FREDETTE METAPHOR As a robin in the springtime chose His mate and in the gnarled apple-tree Built his nest of string and woven hay, Strengthened in and out by mud and clay, And while beneath her wings the mother-bird Kept warm the eggs, her mate sang happily Until a shrieking blue-jay drove her from The nest and stole the blue-green eggs, So we built a friendship beautiful With understanding, strong with love That grew as our experiences increased Both in life's sadness and her joy, Made between us an ideal, which was broken Only when another came.

Elgar Arranged by Fagg Glee Club According to custom, the try-outs given with the opening of school in September found the members lost by last year's graduation replaced by new members from the entering class. VV ith the usual enthusiasm which is characteristic of the club, the members set to work on the music for the first concert which was given on February 13. The program was ar- ranged and directed by Miss Frieda Rand, who also procured two very fine soloists to assist at the concert. They were Mr. Frederic Tillotson, pianist, and Mr. Yves Chardon, cellist. This year, as is customary, the Glee Club again led the school in Christmas Carols at the Christmas dinner. The program of the second concert consisted entirely of compositions by Mrs. H. H. A. Beach who was present as soloist. The girls worked earnestly and diligently to have their singing worthy of this famous composer. In june the club assisted at the Baccalaureate and Commencement exercises. This past year has been a most successful one in every way, and this may be attributed to the diligent and capable efforts of our very efficient leader, Miss Frieda Rand, also, to the fine spirit of the girls and the splendid cooperation that they have given throughout. MARY AULBACH TRIALS AND TRIUM PHS As I am Superintendent of the Primary Department of my church, the task of arranging a concert is gladly shifted to my shoulders. Upon the announcement that the event will be held in two weeks I diligently search for appropriate pieces and songs. However, the greater part of these are too flowery and sentimental, telling of the pretty little Howers, wee birdies, and lovely June. When it comes to assigning parts, I find that my brightest, toothless, little Bobby refuses to perform. Then again Mrs. Haughty informs me that Mirabel will not take part if she has to stand beside that little jones girl. The over anxious pupils have to be ignored to some extent to give the more bashful members a chance. ' Rehearsals are never satisfactory. Perhaps a quarter of the children come and glibly announce that the whole second grade had to stay. VV hen I call upon three year old Tom- my, he begins to snivel and cry for his big sister. Although the preceding days are disheartening, I find that a Children's Day Concert, no matter how many false notes are struck, is always well attended. The older people whole- heartedly enjoy the blissful lispings of the Beginners and the sweet, quavering voices of the First Graders. I always regret my impatience when the audience sincerely congratulate me on my untiring efforts with the little children.

The choir has done all in its power to arouse and preserve a reverent attitude in chapel. 116 ORGANIZATIONS ORCHESTRA Director, Frieda Rand Board of Directors Prescott Sawyer, Chairman Beatrice Fitts Clifford Johnson Walker Trafton The usual number of new members could not be added to the orchestra in September, because only two freshmen were eligible. Two violins were added from the sophomore class. With this smaller orchestra, it has been a year of reconstruction, but also, a year of great pleasure in preparing music for Various dramatic performances, and for a possible spring concert. We have missed the members who graduated last June, and we shall certainly miss those who leave us this year. With the help of the budget plan, it has been possible to purchase a clarinet and a violoncello. Personnel Violins Violas Flute Naverouskis, V. Comeau, P. Marshall, C. Bridges, R. Bulotsky, N.

Leonora Sullivan Vice-President . Florence Tournier Secretary-Treasurer . Ruth F. Lord 118 ORGAN IZATI CNS For the past two years, the debating clubs of the three Normal Schools belonging to the Internormal School Debating League have given formal public debates. In order to promote a more friendly relationship between the schools, Pro and Con has proposed a very different form of presentation for 1931-a forum type of debate. Each school is to send one speaker to every other school in the League. There will then be three people speaking on three different phases of the subject. Following this presentation, the meeting will be open for discussion from the floor. An outside speaker, one who is an authority on the subject of the discussion, will give a final talk, summarizing the main points and commenting upon the speeches. This new plan of debating is to be tried out for one year. We hope that debating on this basis will, by eliminating the emphasis on competition, promote more cooperation and friendliness among the Normal Schools. RUTH F. LoRD AN INTERVIENV VVITI-I MR. CASEY That the Bridgewater Normal School students are first-rate and that without them the town would be as dead as a cemetery was the opinion of Bart Casey, owner of Casey's Ice Cream Parlor, the favorite gathering place of the Normal School men and women, in an interview today. They're all right. First rate. I like them so much I'd like to be an uncle to all of them, Mr. Casey said. You hear a lot of people say that they are a bother and a nuisance, he continued, but I believe that without them there wouldn't be any town at all. Bridgewater would be like a cemetery without them. They're the ones that make the town alive. If the Normal School ever left Bridgewater, I would lock up my front door and throw away the key. They're fine. They're first rate, he repeated. Mr. Casey said that the sandwich which seemed to be most popular with the students was the tuna-fish salad sandwich, and that the toasted cheese sandwich ranked next in popularity. When first questioned he laughed and said: The biggest demand when it comes to sandwiches is for bigger ones. Mr. Casey caters to Normal School students in every way. Every Vlfednesday and Saturday Transcripts are delivered at the school for Miss Hill's literature classes. Then too, he said, with the smile in his eyes belying the seriousness of his tone, I remodelled the ice cream parlor entirely for their benefit, you know. When asked if Normal School girls were easy to please or whether they were fussy, Mr. Casey hedged a little and finally remarked: Well, you know how women are! 119 ' 1931 NORMAL OFFERING LQ SCOUTS GIRL SCOUTS Captain .

It is amazing how true this popular saying is. The longer a girl has been in Scouting the more she likes it. Why? Because Scouting combines practical training with adventure, work with fun, and weaves into every endeavor high ideals and aspirations. This year the National Headquarters has chosen the law A Girl Scout is loyal as the one to be stressed in the Girl Scout troops all over the country. Ac- cordingly, the Girl Scout troop in the Normal School here at Bridgewater has striven to drive home the idea of loyalty. The chief feature of the year has been the learning of folk-songs. Ask any Bridgewater Normal School Scout to sing folk-songs for you-she knows how! AILEN TIIHONEN PLAYING HOOKYH Many years had passed since any of us had played hooky, but now the five of us sat on a noisy subway car which hurried us into the city away from the irksome school tasks. Because we were so happy and carefree we found the amused glances of early shoppers and business men focused upon us. Mary related the experience she had had when she last felt the urge to be absent from school. It was when she was nine years old, and with the coming of spring she had decided on a pleasant day to slip off to a cool brook to go wading instead of returning to the after- noon session of school. Returning home later than she had planned and with wet shoes and stockings-they managed to fall in, too-she was confronted by two very stern parents. It was the first time she knew that there was such an evil as a truant officer. At last we arrived at the business section so we spent several hours in window shopping and talking about the new dresses we were going to get-some day. We helped to open up some of the stores for we arrived in the city very early, since we had left our homes at the regular school hour. It was fun to be so carefree and happy especially when we thought of all the classes we were missing, and above all, the thought that we were putting something over on the teach- ers and the principal. Of course, it would be difficult to get an excuse made out for the principal who was always so cross and contrary if one failed to produce an absence-note, but then, we might be able to bribe our dads, and if worse came to worst, we could get Dot's sister to write excuses for all of us. But why worry now? Let tomorrow take care of itself! After seeing a moving-picture through twice, we purchased a luncheon consisting of one doughnut filled with whipped-cream. Our funds were very low for allowances neverrreach- ed, no matter how much we pinched and saved. Munching the doughnuts, and licking off any cream that may have caught on the bag, we soon arrived at the subway station. Here again we became the cynosure for all eyes because we acted like hicks, to use one remark that came to our ears. It had been such a wonderful adventure and although it would be very near supper-time before we arrived home, we knew that we could tell our parents that it was that hateful Latin that kept us so late. You see, we believed that if all was fair in love and war, it might be applied also to playing hooky, anyway, it was very thrilling to be truant and not get caught.

Linehan The Men's Club began the year in the capacity of host to the new men students of the school. We provided guides to acquaint them with the institutiong and while the hostile sophomores were doing their utmost to initiate them, the policy of the club was to make them feel at home and comfort the youngsters in their new environment. Our activities also include the management of the new room in Normal Hall which is officially the Men's Reception Room. The first Play Day for Junior High School Boys was sponsored by the Men's Club with the assistance of the N.A.A. This activity was en- thusiastically responded to by the men who were out training and they brought in boys from ten nearby towns and cities. In December we conducted our annual Amateur Night which has been generally pronounced as a success in many ways. Not of the least impor- tance however was the big Men's Club Play in February. Believe Me, Xantippe , by Frederick Ballard, was presented under the direction of Miss Moffitt and declared to be the best entertainment presented in Horace Mann Auditorium for some time. Our activities are proof of the fact that the purpose of the Club has been fulfilled during the school year. The men have enjoyed considerable participation in school affairs. The Work has been divided among the members and many have had opportunity to take part in our activities. ALVIN G. GOODFIELD 122 ORGANIZATIONS l LYCEUM President . Edward Landy Vice-President . William Johnson Secretary-Treasurer Aubrey Evans Faculty Advisor . Olive Lovett The Bridgewater Lyceum, a men's organization, is old compared with some of the other clubs in the school, dating back to the time when the Bridgewater Academy, now the Bridge- water High School, was a flourishing institutiong and the Lyceum was made up of students from it, and the Normal School. The present Lyceum, which is three years old, has established itself among the other clubs of the school, though it is true that its membership is small. This club is using a wide variety of material for its programs which range from indivi- dual talks to forum discussionsg and it offers an opportunity to gain culture and breadth, to the individual who takes the idea of self-education seriously.

Aubrey Evans, Rena Lilly Treasurer . . . . Barbara Pray, Helen Sullivan The Science Club was completely reorganized in the fall of 1930 along practical and demo- cratic lines, consistent with the educational policy of the Commonwealth. The membership has greatly increased and now includes a much larger percentage of the men of the school than it did last year. Admission to Science Club is based on a genuine interest in science, plus the culmination of such an interest in scholarship attainment. It is organized into three sections, namely, research, current events in the field of science, and methods in science education. Each section is in charge of a committee whose chairman directs the work of that section and plans the programs to be presented at the weekly meet- ings. Through these meetings the club promotes cooperation and fellowship among the students of the school who have a native interest in science. All the activities of the club are not given over to weighty program meetings, though it is true that much time is spent in eager discussion. Such events as the initiation of members, installation of officers, picnics, and trips to scientihc institutions, weld the group together socially and afford a well rounded program of club activities. AUBREY EVANS 124 ORGANIZATIONS CAMERA CLUB President . Herbert Reckards Vice-President Aubrey Evans Treasurer . . . Mary Kelly Secretary . . Barbara Dunham Faculty Advisor . Miss Clive Lovett The Camera Club is one of the newer clubs of the school, having been founded in the spring of 1930. ' There are three aims of the club: To gain a working knowledge of the structure of the camera. To learn to use the camera for recreation purposes. To be a benefit to the school in as many ways as possible. This year we have been handicapped in laboratory work as a suitable room has not been available. However, We have heard talks on various phases of camera work, enjoyed informal get- togethers, and have had a little experience in developing films. Our faculty advisor is Miss Lovett, who has worked very hard to make the club a success. Mr. Huffington has also been very kind in offering his aid at various times. 125 T I 93 I NORMAL OFFERING ATH LETICS FRESHMAN BASKET BALL TEAM 126 ORGANIZATIONS President .

This year the conference of Athletic Associations of Massachusetts Normal Schools was held at Bridgewater, all the normal schools of Massachusetts being represented. Round table discussions were conducted concerning the various problems of VVomen's Athletic Associations and instead of dropping these discussions as a part of the conference, as has been done in previous years, they are to be carried on in the various normal schools by committees who will later report the results of their studies. A During the basketball season W. A. A. sponsored something decidedly new. This was the basketball demonstration, which was made possible by the members of the basket- ball technique class assisted by high school girls and normal school girls. Members of the Boston Board of Officials demonstrated techniques for playing and for coaches. The demonstration was sponsored in an effort to better basketball games in the environs of Bridgewater. A note of particular interest to basketball players which was brought out, was the elimination of the toss at the beginning of the game. In View of the fact that many normal schools and colleges are eliminating point sys- tems, W. A. A. has been collecting information concerning point systems. This informa- tion is both interesting and necessary for a complete understanding of the problem. We hope from this investigation, to arrive at some decision which indicates whether VV. A. A. is doing the best possible thing in keeping the point system, or whether our VV. A.A. would benefit by a change. , GRACE BRACE 128 ORCAN IZATIONS NORMAL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION BOARD Faculty Advisor . john J. Kelly President . . Peter Burke Vice-President . Thomas Cullen Treasurer . . Urban Linehan Secretary . . Nathan Bulotsky The first event of the school year was the greetings and welcome accorded the first year men. Men entering this school automatically become members of the organization on payment of their dues, so we can maintain a one hundred per cent enrollment. Following was the sponsoring of junior High School Class Day. This event was the first of its type ever to be attempted by the men of the school. The chief aim of this class day event was to afford the pupils a day of recreation as well as education. Interclass soccer activities started with a bang. A very fast and enjoyable schedule was completed with the Sophomores and Seniors coming out on top in a deadlock. Interclass basketball was scheduled for the winter months and the success of this season was thoroughly displayed in the attitude of the classes participating. Something new in this line was the fact that no lettermen or varsity players were eligible to contest: this afforded more men a chance for participation. To culminate a most successful year, the association sponsored their annual formal dance on February seventh, and as usual it was the climax of the school's social calendar. PETER BURKE 129 ' l93l NORMAL OFFERING MEN'S SOCCER TEAM Soon after the opening of school last fall the call was issued for candidates for the var- sity soccer team. About twenty men appeared for first practice. Osborne Bearse was captain and coach of the team. The early practice sessions consisted of conditioning exercises and a review of the fundamentals of the game. After a few weeks of practice a formidable eleven was ready to take the held against any worthy opposition. We were very fortunate in having John Carreiro and Thomas Cullen able to play, although they were out practice teaching. In seven games Normal won four and lost three, which may well be considered a creditable showing. The schedule, with the result of each game is: September 28-Northeastern U. 5 B. N.

I want to steer a boat Across the bay 'gainst wind and rain And fog so dense that none but God can lead. I want to race out 'neath the starse- To run and run and get nowhere And yet, delight in being there-- 'I'o wander in the woods And gather berries for the jars Of luscious jams put by for winter use. I want to watch the sailboats race Like huge white birds against the sky, To hear the great gray glllliS weird cry And then I Want to hear The breaking waves as they say grace For us before a clambake on the shore And when the last rays of the sun Have kindled distant hills of gold, Have made as Indians did of old A watchfire for the night- To watch in awe until it's done And then to laugh in silent, wordless joy VIRGINIA BULGFR POETRY ENAMORADA DEI. MAR Take me to thy heart, blue ocean, Rolling, wind-swept, free, Now that even hope has vanished, Take and comfort me. In thy depths, since I come only A frail thing of dust and clay, All the failures, all the heartaches, All the dreams will melt away. Take nie to thy heart, blue ocean, As I were the wind and rain, Take this soul not made for courage And this flesh not made for pain. Then a careless world that seeks me In thy spray shall find my tears, In thy mists my useless dreaming, In thy stormy waves, my fears. IVIARY CHILDS VVHEN WAVES EBB OUTWARD FROM MY SHORE Vflhen the waves ebb outward from my shore To bathe the fretted continents Of what has been and what will always be, My dreams turn inward toward eternity, To mock this narrow strip of land Wfhich is my life. A futile, wavering ribbon of despair Caught between the waters and the air, Still, captive bands of foam and stinging spray Hold me more than harsher metal could, Since only they can cast the beach along VVith sands and shells and costly thoughts of song. IVIARY ELIZABETH HAYES INTEGRATION The sea once told me that I, little I, VVas a part of all I had seen or known. I laughed-scornfully turned away to lie And slumber on the clean warm sands alone. I never knew 'til yesterday that all The ecstasies of moments past are mine- My secret springs of spirit land at call W'hene'er I wish to give the magic sign. I am the sailing stars and the moons of all The years both old and new-the wraith of one, The golden promise of the new. The call Of sea-gulls shrilling to the winds in fun. I am the slim white-throated birch, which sways In a quivering, mystic fantasy, Amid the thick mist, Cfrom the inlet bayl VVhich hugs close the earth in ecstasy. My eyes are the sad eyes of broken dreams l And the bright sparkling eyes of joys to come. I am the tiny squares of golden beams That the church window receives from the sun. I am the deep blue clouds of the ev'ning And the one star peeping wistfully through. I am the ghost of a buccaneer haunting The shadowy, bloody-red seas anew. I am all these and part of many more- For now I know all things are part of me. A!VIthOLlt them I am barren to the core. - --- - Most of all I am the sea. HARRIETTE E. PARMENTER PRAYER TO THE SEA Oh! for the wild, wild waves today, Let me feel them rolling in Close to my body,-pulsing,-strong, Giving strength within. Under the shelter of sandy dunes Let me lie with hands held out, Fill them with visions,-holy,--pure, Making my life devout. Roll of the ocean, onward still, Sweep o'er my soul today, Cleanse it with grace, almighty sea, I pray, I pray! VERDA F. DUNN SCENE Sea-gulls rocking on the waves, Blue water caressing the beach, The hulks of ships swaying black against the deepening rose of the western sky. A long stretch of yellow sand dulling bit by bit, And then-a shimmering glint on the darkening water- A curtain blue-gray falls gently over the western gold. Silence-broken only by the lap of wavelets And the screaming of the sea-gulls. MARY LEWIS 141 ' 1931 NORMAL OFFERING THE TEMPEST The harbor is quiet, the suqadrons lie, Sails gleaming in the azure sky. Their spars rise high, black hulls below. The ships-taut, trim, deck white as snow. I saw the harbor, the bright blue bay, The men at their stations, the launches on the way, In harmony, the booms that rose and fell As great ships bowed to meet the swell. The sky grew gray, along a crested wave A black winged tempest, a shadowy warning gave, And then burst on the bay, a fury from the gloom, A thousand spiteful demons in sheets Of blackened spume. Amid the mounting seas the stout ships roll and leap, The schooners are like corks abobbing on the deep, The breakers piled still higher and louder rose the storm, And to the roaring shore there drew a drifting form. A drifting form, dismasted, all hopeless of relief A fated ship, a white lee shore, a cruel jagged reef. The solid rock she struck where tall waves churned, And down she plunged beneath the sea, her riven keel upturned. HELEN ABBOTT AT NIGHT Sand dunes stretch Out empty Far to left and right- VVaves I see before me, Murmuring in the night. Sand that warms and comforts, Waves to croon to me, Breezes laugh and whisper Through the Old pine tree. Foam that plays and glistens, Creeping up the beach. Tries to reach my nook, but Finds me out of reach. GRACE ABSALOM THE SEA Clutching, sucking waves, Soft, silver sand, Scurrying sandpipers, Cutting spray, Baffling winds- Listen to the dirge it sings. Wfistful sea! What are your mysteries? Dark purple you blend into the sky Nearer come your pale green lights, And lemon and rose Shallows full Of violet shadows. An eloquent silence hovers about you. FLORENCE BROXVN - i I PROSE 4 PROSE . I I 44 ON THIS ROCK Many people cannot see Plymouth for Plymouth Rock. From their schooldays they have read about that wonderful stone, the landing place of America , and make it the goal of their New England tour. It is the crown jewel in the historical crown of glory that over- hangs Massachusetts. Their fertile imaginations fashion a stone of imposing dimensions, for there was nothing in the history text picture to guide them in computing its size. Their conception of a glorified Rock of Gibraltar is fostered by the sight of the imposing canopy that shelters it. They step out of their car, walk across Water Street, step inside the canopy, and wait for a chance to look at Plymouth Rock. At last it comes, and they look down inside the railing to where, six feet below, rests a piece of stone that, as some W'este1'ner described it, His no bigger than some of the boulders out on my ranch at home! Perhaps it is because we Americans are impressed by big things, towering skyscrapers, magnificent theaters, imposing cathedrals, and universities that extend over acres and acres of land, that this scrap of New England granite leaves us with a feeling of absolute indiffer- ence. At this point is where most tourists make their mistake. Disappointed in the Mecca of their tour, they allow this disappointment to carry over and mar the pleasure of seeing other historic points of interest. According to Plymoutheans, Plymouth Rock is one of the least of these. VVhy shouldn't it be? There is no life in a bit of granite that served as a stepping-stone. There is life and ro- mance and love and strength in a house that has sheltered Pilgrims from storm and attack. There is power and vitality in the musket that Myles Standish grasped in his hand, in the metal hat and breast plate that protected him from possible Indian assault. There is tragedy in the hull of a ship that was wrecked and lay buried in the sand for years on Cape Cod. There is sadness in those arrow heads polished smooth by hours of patient labor, in the belts of Wampum once valuable enough to ransom a chief,-relics of an almost vanished race. There is majesty and glory in a monument erected to the ideals of that Pilgrim band, as it overlooks the land they worked so hard to make into a home, and looks toward their old home in England over the sea they fought so hard to conquer. There is peace and quiet and rest in the garden dedicated to the Pilgrim mothers, rest for their spirits after years of patient, uncomplaining toil. That is why Plymoutheans cherish objects such as these,-because they have served, have been of actual practical use, and have had more than an incidental, inanimate con- nection with those first hardy pioneers. BEATRICE HUNT 143 e l93l NORMAL GFFERING A NEVV TEACHER'S EXPERIENCE I kept him after school. He was only a little boy, and as the minutes of the afternoon ticked off in steady pro- cession, the feeling in his heart turned to childish hate. The shouts of his friends reached him from the street, and added to the misery of which I was the cause. He had to do ten examples in arithmetic before he could leave the confining schoolrooml The hard, don't- care attitude which he had so manfully maintained throughout his ordeal, suddenly gave way to childish sobs. The tears ran down his face and made big spreading spots on the arithmetic paper over which he struggled. Sobbingly, he declared that he could stay no longer, but I, hardening my heart against his pleadings, simply stated: You are to do ten examples correctly before you leave this room, tonight. After much mingling of tears and long division, the paper was completed, and he, still crying, left the room one hour after his schoolmates had been dismissed. Without one look in my direction, he stamped down the stairs, pulling his cap down over his eyes, as he went. The more I thought about the incident, the worse I felt, for viewed from the child's eyes, the punishment rnust have seemed severe. I, who so wanted to be liked, feared that the punishment which I had meted out had incurred the boy's lasting dislike. I made foolish resolutions that I would never keep a pupil after school again unless it was necessary and the only alternative. The next morning, still feeling badly about it, for I did so like Alec, I went to school. With the ringing of the first bell, I was interrupted by a childish voice bidding me Good morning. Turning, I beheld Alec standing beside my desk, and in his outstretched grimy hand, he held a bunch of flowers. At the same time, he said: May I stay after school and clean the boards for you tonight, Miss Eddy? Such is the forgiving nature of a child. CLAIRE F. EDDY B3 ON VVRITING A NOVEL VVe had reached the mature age of eight when the overwhelming urge to write a book Cat that time the word novel was not in our vocabularyb first took possession of us. Such minor difficulties as deciding whether or not twenty hundred thousand dollars was too im- probable an amount for a thirteen year old hero to inherit and whether or not it would be possible to go to Europe in a sailboat bothered us somewhat, but on the whole the master- piece progressed smoothly and with speed. We have always remembered with resentment and just indignation the remark of our brother Cat that time aged fourteenj who said, when the finished work was read to the family, that it was surprisingly like the book Campfire Girls in the VVoods , which he had presented to us that Christmas. To be sure, we had never been a Campfire Girl and had therefore been forced to draw upon the Christmas book for material and local color, perhaps, but anybody should have been able to see the obvious, and, we might say, the startling points of difference between the two.. And now, nearly thirteen years later, we have again felt the overmastering passion. Difhculties are no longer minor ones, nor are they few. Most important among them looms the practical impossibility of convincing our family and friends fsuch of them as have been I 144 '-' bribed or by other means inveigled into reading the Fifteen chapters we have completedl that the novel in not an autobiography or, possibly, a confession. True, we have been a waitress, but that does not mean, because the plot of our novel is based upon a college-girl waitress falling in love with a cook, that we have ever been in love with a cook. Most un- kind of all are the lifted eye-brows we observe when our reader arrives at the love scenes. How little faith they have in the power of a keen imagination! It is necessary, too, in order to avoid being considered insufferably conceited about our own skill, to assure everyone that we are writing the novel just for the fun of it and that it is not, of course, intended for print. That is, we must be outwardly modest. Inwardly we must feel utter satisfaction with our own cleverness and talent, for when we compared our amateur attempts with 'fThe Qld Wives' Tale or The White Swan , we would otherwise be in grave danger of being consumed with a sense of our own inferiority. Beside all these discouraging elements there are the technical obstacles to be met, and these are no longer few. So there you have us- -the novelist in our bed of roses. In reality, as innocent and sim- ple as a country school girl, in our friends' eyes a gay old rake with a wild and shady past. In the eyes of the world as unassuming an individual as Uriah Heep, in our own heart sub- limely self-confident. VVe struggle on the one hand with the people who read our story, and on the other with those who are acting in it. Take back your envy-you who do not write! MARX? G. CHILDS OUR PLACE IN SPACE Space is measured by the distance light travels in one year. The orbit of the Earth about its sun is only one ten-thousandth of a light year or 600,000,000 miles. The Earth is about 91,500,000 miles distant from the sun in the north latitude winter and 94,500,000 miles distant in the summer. Therefore the diameter of the orbit is about one-thirty-two- thousandth of a light year. To gain a better conception of the Earth's position in the solar system, imagine a circular field and two and a half miles in diameter, place a library globe two feet in diameter in the very centerg eighty-two feet away put a mustard seed. The globe will represent the sun and the mustard seed Mercury. At a distance of 142 feet place a pea, and another at 215 feet. These will represent Venus and the Earth, both as to size and distance. A rather large pinhead at a distance of 327 feet will speak for Mars, and a fair sized tangerine a quarter of a mile distant will stand for jupiter. A small lemon 2f5 of a mile away will play the roll of Saturn, a large cherry 3X4 of a mile distant will answer for Uranus, and a fair sized plum at the very edge of the field will be Neptune. A new planet, approximately 3,768,000,000 miles from the sun, was discovered March 13, 1930 by Prof. Lowell and later named Pluto. This is the most important discovery in the twentieth century and has added 950,600,000 miles to the radius of the solar system. Nearly as important are the explorations of the Milky Way system or galaxy. This galaxy is composed of millions and billions of suns similar to our own sun. These fiery bodies assume a mass which is somewhat similar to a pair of saucers the edges of whose concave sides are joined. Gur own solar system is located slightly to one side of the center 145 . l93l NORMAL OFFERING of this galaxy. If the plane of the galaxy is drawn within a yards length, the solar system becomes invisible to the sight through any microscope available. VVhat does our galaxy include? The Milky Way system is composed of the solar system, star clusters, comets, star dust, gases, and meteoric clouds all of which move about in a systematized manner through this disc-shaped body which is about 150,000 light years through the plane and 15,000 light years from pole to pole. Is there anything outside this galaxy? The Milky VVay system is a vast cosmic unit Whose space contains much cosmic energy. The so-called spiral nebulae are now known to be other galaxies or Hisland universes like our own Milky VVay system, the nearest of which -Androneda-is 1,000,000 light years away. There are hundreds and thousands of these spiral nebulae: therefore there are at least that many galaxies. The existence of other worlds detracts nothing from this one nor reduces the complexity of the problems of the human race. The enormous extent of the universe, and the success astronomers have had in exploring it, increase our respect for the power and dignity of the human mind and should inspire high hopes for its future development. ERNEST H. COTE ON LETTER-WRITING Ever since Cain scratched to Abel, on the convenient flat surface of a boulder, the first message of war the world has ever known, this universe has been letter-conscious. Letters have become by process of elimination and evolution, not mere expressions of emotion, but instruments of destiny, whose portent is only fully realized by their proud receiver. One has but to recall two out of many such instances in history to be convinced of the truth of the above statement. Mark Antony wrote memorable epistles to the Roman Tribunal, whose intrinsic work- manship was merely enhanced by the alternation of war correspondence, and news of Cleo- patra, the alluring. These possibly may not have aided the Roman campaign in Egypt, but they did make possible the dissemination of timely beauty hints, and notices. Lord Chesterfield perpetuated his own memory and evaded the criticisms of his con- temporaries, by producing a series of letters to his son, the contents of which have stirred young men to better things for several royal lifetimes. We discover a wide range of use in this field of letterwriting. Letters of amorous pur- port were highly in vogue a few decades ago. So replete were they with saccharine allusions to nature and to all heavenly creatures, that they fully deserved the lavendar ribbon in which their careers were lovingly ended. At present much that is classic has been brought into the mercantile world, and modern self-respecting tradesmen send cheerful reminders to their favored clients at the beginning of each new month. The over advertised Mr. Average Man feels keenly his responsibility to this heritage of the ages and exercises a doubtful ability on all possible occasions. It may be only in mid-summer when his better half is away and he elaborates on the respective conditions of the cat and the canary, but the opportunity exists and is seized. The youth of the nation away at camp or college is soon initiated into the complex mys- teries of exaggerating pleasures and underestimating disadvantages while composing a so- 146 PROSE called letter. There is also the use of the facility of letter-writing in making dulcet requests for the coin of the realm. After considering nothing of the art of receiving correspondence, we now shall divulge the sad truth that the writer is contemplating the creation of a model letter guaranteed to insure satisfaction to everyone and an immediate increase in the annual amount of mail handled by the postoffice in any college town. MARCELLA MORAN Division 3 THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD The world today hardly needs to be reminded of the amazing progress that has been made in every branch of science during the past three centuries. The purpose of this essay is not to review the 'fwhat of that progress, but to attempt to describe the how of it. Since the time of Galileo, science has had a new method of working, popularly known as the scientific method . This method has proved itself most invaluable to its users-the scien- tists. May there not be many elements involved in it that would be of practical value to the rest of us? Let us see if we can discover any. In the first place, there is an important fundamental axiom of the scientific method which may be stated thus: that everything that occurs in nature is natural and has an explanation in natural laws, whether we know what that explanation is or not. This tosses hob goblins, witches, demons, and other supernatural beings out the back door. How much better off we would be without superstition! The scientific method can not be handed out as a formula. It has a few common ele- ments. These are: an extensive and accurate knowledge of phenomena based on actual experiences, an open and questioning mind, rigorous thinking, and the habit of checking the conclusions reached through logical processes by experiment. In other words, observation, description, comparison, classification, experimentation, and inference are the methods of science. How can we use these in our own lives? Let me suggest the following applications. First, keep an open mind. The truth is never Hxed, never stationary. Is there any reason, then, for allowing your opinions to remain constantly in a state of inertia? Be original, and do a little thinking. Our very superiority over the rest of the animal kingdom is due wholly to our ability to think. Should thinking become a lost art with us. that superiority would soon be lost. Last, make an effort to increase the skill with which you are able to distinguish between facts and what you happen to think about these facts. The facts concerning science are always determined by observation and trial. They can not be determined by any other method. Of course, it is perfectly permissible to accept the word of reliable witnesses, but basically, the facts were first discovered by observation and trial-nothing else. A little of this method applied to other things would do a great deal to stamp out the prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness found on Main Street. Let us make this a real Scientific Age. ALBERT NAJARIAN 147 ' l93l NORMAL OFFERING DRAMA There is only one art which can avail itself at will of almost every device of all the other arts. It is the art which can borrow the aid of the poet. the painter, the sculptor, the musi- ciang compelling them all to help it towards its own perfection. Drama, or rather the art of drama, without danger of confusion, without departing from its own object, without loss of force can, at one and the same time tell a story and give an impression of the visible world, as well as fill our eyes with the beauty of form, and charm our ears with rhythm and with harmony. To many of us the drama gives merely unthinking amusement in the playhouse and to not a few it presents itself as the loftiest form of poetry. To some its chief quality is that it enables them to disentangle the philosophy of the dramatist himself and to declare his ethical code. And to the scantiest group of all, dramatic literature is interesting because it is a manifestation of the dramatic instinct which is universal in mankind and because it gives the special pleasure which only the art of the dramatist can provide. To M. Ferdinand Brunetiere-who profited by a hint of Hegel's,-we owe the clearest statement of one important law only dimly perceived by earlier critics. He declares that the drama differs from the other forms of literature in that it must always deal with some exertion of the human will. If a play is really to interest us, it must present a struggleg its chief character must desire something, striving for it with all his will. A determined will, resolute in seeking its own end, is what we always find in the dramatic form: and this is what we do not find in the lyric or the epic.In the lyric the poet is satis- fied if he is able to set forth his own sentiment. The epic poet has to do mainly with ad- venture and with character. The drama discloses the condition of the times. Dramas dis- playing human will will not be found in the theaters of the races of little energy, but most flourishing among the more self-assertive peoples. and especially in the periods of their out- flowering and expansion. The drama has other laws also, because it is an art, it has its conventions by which it is allowed to differ from nature. The artist may transpose and translate these facts of life. Some of these variations are accidental only and therefore temporary, others are essential and eternal. It is a condition necessary to the enjoyment of the play that the actors shall keep their faces turned toward the audience, and that they shall raise their voices loud en- ough to be heard, also that the fourth wall of every room shall be removed, so that the aud- ience can see what is going on. It is essential also that the dramatist, having chosen his theme, shall present it to us without any accessories which would encumber it in real life, showing us only the vital episodes and ordering the plot so that everything is clear before the eyes of the audience. Brander Mathews declares that the theater is now only an idle amusement and that the stage is only too often occupied by empty spectacle. Yet the drama in its graver aspects, the drama as a contribution to literature and as a form of poetry, is not dead, nor is it dying. Indeed, there is evidence that it is on the threshold of a new youth. E. OTJONNELL 148 PROSE SOME INTERESTING GRADUATES Longfellow said, Thus our daughters leave us but well might Bridgewater Normal School say that, not only of its daughters but of its sons. From its first days it welccmed new students, and like a fond father who anxiously watches over his children's growth before they shall leave and face the world, Bridgewater watched its students, saw to their adjust- ments, ministered to their wants, and sent them out into life with high and established ideals. Let it not be thought, however, that the school's duties are over once a member leaves it, for it always endeavors to remain the parent and is always proud to see its children make successes in life. It would be impossible to mention each worthy student who reached his goal in the world, but there are some outstanding examples of splendid graduates, who are widely known for their praiseworthy work and of whom Bridgewater Normal School is exceptionally proud. Dr. Albert C. VVinship, world famous as a great educational lecturer, completed his course here in 1864 and after service in the Civil War and experience as principal in a New- ton grammar school returned as a member of the faculty. He had a most varied life as faculty member, in the publishing business, and later, after graduating from the Andover Theological Seminary, was ordained a Congregational minister. During this time Dr. Xlfinship was greatly interested in educational periodicals and was made chief editor of the journal of Education in 1886, a position which he still holds. He was also a member of the Massachusetts Board of Education for six years. The record of visiting more schools than any other educational leader in this country is held by Dr. Winship, who therefore is widely acquainted with all educational conditions. He is the author of many educational books including the HLzfe of Horace Mann , and is a veteran educator, known and respected as very few other men in the country could be. The name of Boyden is very closely associated with Bridgewater. The late Albert Gardner Boyden was the third principal of the school and held this position for over fifty years, and his son, and successor, Dr. Arthur Clark Boyden, is our own beloved principal. Though we have not had the privilege of knowing him intimately, we must not overlook VVallace C. Boyden, a brother of Dr. Boyden. Mr. VVallace Boyden is a graduate of Bridge- water Normal School and Amherst College. Following his early teaching experience he was appointed Master in the Boston Normal School and later appointed headmaster. In 1920 the normal school became the Teacher's College of the City of Boston, with Mr. Wallace Boyden as President. Treading the same glorious path as his father and brother, Mr. Boyden brought the Boston Teacher's College up to a high point of efficiency, with enlarged courses of a distinct college standard. From these splendid examples of men graduates, let us turn to one of our respected woman graduates, Sarah L. Arnold. After a wide range of experience which included prin- cipalship and supervisory work, Miss Arnold became dean of women at Simmons College in 1902. A very efficient scholar and conscientious worker, she served for many years as a member of the Massachusetts Board of Education and is now a member of the Advisory Board. Miss Arnold is well known as the author of many books on the teaching of English in the elementary schools. Another famous son of Bridgewater is Frank Speare, now president of Northeastern University. After his graduation in 1889 he served for several years as principal of Massa- chusetts schools. Always progressive, he enrolled at Harvard University, where he contin- 149 ' l93l NORMAL OFFERING ued his education until he was called to teach English in the evening classes of the Boston Y. M. C. A. He immediately began to establish departments of education along different lines and from the organization of a group of these scattered courses in education North- eastern University was formed in 1896. In 1916 it was incorporated as a college and in 1923 as a university. VVith the exception of Boston University and Harvard University, Northeastern today ranks as the largest collegiate grade institution in New England. It is a tribute, a monument to the foresight, energy, and ability of its founder and only president, Frank Speare. Colonel john D. Billings, class of '67, is a veteran teacher who served as a soldier in the Army of the Potomac under General Meade in the Civil War. With the background of military experience and his training at Bridgewater, Colonel Billings was for sixty-six years principal of the Vllebster School in Cambridge where he was honored for the line quality of his teaching and the stress which he laid on the virtues of truth, honor, and patriotism. He was an influential citizen of Cambridge and participated actively in the affairs of the municipality. Now let us consider Robert Lincoln O'Brien, class of '84, who later went to Harvard and became the personal secretary of Grover Cleveland, from his nomination in 1894 until Nov- ember 1895. Mr. O'Brien then served as the Washington Correspondent of the Boston Transcript and in 1906 became its editor. Four years later he left this position to become the publisher and editor of the Boston Herald until 1928. Although he was successful in this work, Mr. O'Brien left in order to broaden his knowledge of travelling and he is now a very noted lecturer. Recalling his school days at Bridgewater Normal School, Mr. O'Brien said, The great fundamental lesson which I learned there was the value of good solid Work, learning to do things by doing them. These are a few of the sons and daughters who have left Bridgewater's smaller world to enter a larger one and do their best work. The motto of the school, Not to be ministered unto, but to minister has been a great factor in their achievement of fame, and Bridgewater is proud to be their parent. INTERESTING DATES AND DATA FROM THE RECORD BOOK OF THE BRIDGEWATER NORMAL ASSOCIATION ' PREAMBLE: The State Normal School at Bridgewater being now permanently es- tablished, it is desirable that the graduates and scholars of the institution should effect a more perfect organization than has hitherto existed. It is believed that an Association, embracing the advantages of a Corresponding Society , a Teachers Institute , and a Social Gathering , of all who have been or may become members of this school, would give per- manence to the friendship here formed, would strengthen the attachment of its members to the duties of their calling, and in many ways would be an important auxiliary to the cause of Common School Education. For the promotion of these objects, we, the graduates and scholars of the Normal School, in convention assembled, hereby form an Association, and agree to be governed by the following Constitution. These quaintly formal words open the first constitution of the Bridgewater Normal Association,-a constitution which bears the legend Adopted, Aug. 20th, 1845 . This 150 PROSE date, however, did not mark the first meeting of the Alumni of the school. The next quota- tion is also from the record book of the Association, from a section headed History of the Bridgewater Normal Association. The S. Normal School at Bridgewater went into operation Sept. 9th, 1840, under the direction of N. Tillinghast Esq. as Principal. At the close of a less period than two years, from this time, the number of persons attending the institution was one hundred and thirty, of whom,however, but eighty-one had at that time or have since complieclwith the regulation fixing the minimum attendance at two terms, at that time in force. As the eighty-one Normalites were scattered over this, and the neighboring states, with few or no opportunities for perpetuating school friendship, the plan of a Convention was devised in 1842, having for its objects the gathering of the Alumni and pupils of the school, thus enabling them to spend a day in special intercourse and Norfzztzl enjoyment. The nrst Convention met according to notice given, in the schoolroom at Bridgewater, on the morning of XYednesday, Aug. 3rd, 1842. 99 Normalites, regular and irregular, were found to be present .... After the transaction of the necessary business, addresses were delivered by Mr. Tillinghast, S. j. May of Scituate, Horace Mann, and Dr. Kendall of Plymouth. The chief business of these early meetings seem to have consisted in passing resolutions, some of which were rather hotly contested, since they embodied educational or religious principles. Many of these resolutions have considerable interest for the student of educa- tion. Of these let us quote a few. 1844 That in regard to the studies which are pursued in the common schools, this meeting is impressed with the conviction that the higher branches, or classics, have undue preference over the elementary and primary, and that teachers should make greater eltort to ensure a thorough knowledge and instruction in the latter among their pupils. 1845 That in educating the intellect the pupil should be taught to discover rather than to repeat: his reasoning powers should be cultivated: his curiosity aroused: he should be taught so as to delight in each new acquisition and ever to desire fresh attainments: in short, he should be made a man and not a machine. 1845 That physical education has been too much neglected: and that the penalty which inevitably awaits the violation of the physical laws may be avoided, those laws should be made a prominent subject of study. Such resolutions as these suggest that the pioneers in Normal School education were not so far behind our modern theories. Another resolution passed in 1845 reminds us, however, that graded schools were practically unknown at that time. It notes That we regard as a defect in our system of public Education, the absence of a regular gradation of schools and that we hope the time is not far distant when a system shall be adopted. Possibly Professor Rogers might be enlightened by the utterance of Mr. Tillinghast in 1847, when he spoke of the falsity of the charge so often brought against Normal Schools of prescribing fixed methods of teaching,-fSuch a course,' said he, 'would be like putting clothes on a child, and requiring him to wear them through life '. In 1849, Mr. A. G. Boyden became a Vice-president of the Association. Thomas Met- calf, afterward prominent in Normal School work in the Wfest, was a Vice-president in 1850. In 1864 biennial meetings were substituted for annual ones. At this meeting were passed touching resolutions upon the death of many former members of the school who had 151 A l93I NORMAL OFFERING given their lives upon the battlefields of the Civil War. This tribute was later, in 1868, given permanence in the unveiling of the marble Memorial Tablet, which will be remem- bered by many graduates of the following years. Its successor is the bronze tablet in the new building, which is companioned by another bearing the names of those who fell in the World War. The year 1866 once more showed the progressive spirit of Bridgewater in the passing of a resolution which said: Whereasg The gentlemen graduates of the Bridgewater Normal School number but about one third of the lady graduates, ..... therefore, Resolvedg That the lady members of this association shall be recognized in the apportionment of offices. For many years the record shows the routine of a constantly enlarging group served by the Association, with its references to the county committees to secure a more general attendance and finance committees to raise money by subscription,-a method only lately superceded by the system of a definite membership with dues. g Readers of NORMAL OFFERING will be interested in the remarks of Mr. Frank Mur- dock in 1888, when he spoke in behalf of NORMAL OFFERING, a new venture, earnestly requesting all to support it. For the rest, interest lies mainly in the names of members active in the Association,- names of those graduates well known in person or in print to so many of us. Some 'ffirst appearances of these famous names are as follows: Eliza VVoodward in 18685 George I-I. Martin and Albert E. Vlfinship in 1870, Arthur C. Boyden in 1876, Clara C. Prince in 18789 Samuel P. Gates in 1880. A long list might be made, but space is lacking. In 1883 the first Boston meeting was held. In 1890 the Association celebrated the half-century of the es- tablishment of the School. In these days we are beginning to look forward not so far into the future for the century mark. In 1913 Mr. Albert G. Boyden made the rather startling statement that the combined teaching of Bridgewater graduates would cover 40,000 years. How much greater would the total be now! And so the record goes on. Many officers have served the Association, all with devotion and ability. The President of this year, Mr. Farwell, as has been true of so many in the past, comes of a Bridgewater Normal School family,-his wife and several members of his immediate kin graduated from the school. The faithful and long-continued labor of the present secretary, Miss Flora Stuart, should be mentioned. May the Bridgewater Normal .Association live long, to carry on its service to the school, to the graduates, and to the world. R. E.

If you hear the last bell ringing And someone says, Don't hurry, There's nothing up at Normal To cause you any worry. Don't believe it!

VVhen you're handed back papers VVith an E or maybe two If they say, This hurts me About as much as it hurts you. Don't believe it! SADIE FLEISIIMAN COIVIIVIITTEEMAN You have read startling and breath-taking stories of Broadway escapades, interior dec- orators, peace conferences, flag-pole sitters, and many and diversified sewing circles. But have you heard the biggest, the best, expose of all? Then list to the tale of Herb Thistle- down. Here, and only here, will you learn of the trials and bitter tribulations of a com- mitteeman. As the story opens we find Herb before that aristocrat of aristocrats, the Dean of Hearth- stone College. The Dean is giving Herb a look severe enough to melt an iron bust. For- tunately for Thistledown, he isn't iron-nor a bust. 'fVVhy was I in the Iron Gate? asked Herb. 'fThe story is a long and sad one. I readily believe the first part of your statement. But why have you become a fre- quenter, not only of the Iron Gate, but also of the Rusty Door and other night-clubs, in addition to becoming a nocturnal visitor to devious and dubious dance halls? Come, come, don't stammer. Make your story concise and to the point. Omit details. I am after the pure, simple, and unadulterated truth. Very well, I shall, bravely replied Herb Thistledown, retaining a stiff upper lip, as the street gamin might say, and accepting this challenge hurled so unceremoniously at his integrity. HAS you are undoubtedly aware, began Thistledown, the Senior Prom is just around the corner-over the hill-beneath the horizon. Although this is to be the best social of the year, we need a lodestone to attract our Romeos and juliets. In fact, it is essential that we sell all tickets printed. 'ATO be candid with you, we need the money. Our treasury is depleted. W'e have only a nickel left, and the buffalo is crying for companions. And we have decided to attract its companions into our treasury by saying it with music. There is nothing like a good orches- tra to draw a crowd. . 154 HUMOR As chairman of the music committee, it is my duty to see that an excellent orchestra is obtained. IVith this purpose in mind, I have left no stone unturned. It is true that I fell asleep in the meteorology class, ruffled the newspaper in psychology, and hummed in English history. But I was doing it all for the cause-for the good old senior class. When I slept I dreamed-dreamed of my duty. It is, in truth, while I sleep that I do my best work. Wlhen I ruffled the paper it was not to see the comic section. but to read the advertisements and to select the most suitable dance halls to visit. To enjoy myself? Indirectly, yes, for I enjoy working for the good of the class. But in reality I was not in- terested in dancing. I was interested in an orchestra. Wfhy, when I hummed, it was for the good of the class. I hummed in the manner I thought a good orchestra should play. 'fIt is true that I was forcibly ejected from the Iron Gate. But why? Because I told the conductor that if he played 'Three Little INords' with vibrato and other artistic effects, I, as representative of the graduating class of dear old Hearthstone, would hire him and his entire orchestra. I admit that I started the riot in the Rusty Door. But how was I to know that I was speaking with the manager when I said that the playing was terrible, but that his sensitive ear-drums and superior tonal quality so transformed the discordant and unmellifluous music that it seemed to attain, although it actually did not, the acme of perfection? I was merely working for the good of the class-and if working for the Class is a crime, then I am guilty. CHere Herb Thistledown's orbs imitated the Mississippi Riverl. My boy, my boy, cried the Dean, energetically wringing his hanky and embracing Herb, I fully understand your predicament, and appreciate your work. I, too, because of my musical ability, was once in the same dilemma as you. I, too, had to overcome similar obstacles-obstacles which an understanding world hurls before all the gladiators of life. To prove that I realize your difficult task, I shall volunteer my services and to-night we shall go together in quest of the orchestra supreme. That, tacitly added the Dean, bursting into poetry, as man often will on such jubilant occasions, will give me an opportunity to get away from home and wife, and to make whoopee for once in my life. Thank you, sir, thank you, said Herb, effervescent with emotion. CINCINNATI MONTIBIILLO 155 - . ' ,, . 'ima' ,f ' X ' -. - ' A ' 'f'1ff'E5'?f5' f 3', V'fuL1,'p ',ffI'1.r 'V I W N M ,'M ,:T.
