Aubrey Evans Senior Class History Four short years ago the class of 1931 entered Bridgewater. 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. AUBREY EVANS 22
