Cagnpus Comment, Assistant Advertising Manag- er . lVIarion's ideas live up to the dark, vivid, sophisticated per- son that she is on the surface. She likes the theatre, art, crowds, style, and-paradoxically-the sea, she dislikes orders, prejudices, and cold weather. Well, well, who doesn't? DGRIS MAE BICKNELL BARBARA BEESLEY 424 Springfield Street, Chicopee, Mass. Glee Club 1, 2. Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4. Scouts 1, 2, 3. Treasurer 2, 3. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Choir 1, 2. Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4.

A It is hard to think of any dance or social without Barbara. Her activities show her ability in musical lines. Barbara is fond of all sports. 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. Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4. Gardening Club 1, 2, 3, 4. Secretary 3. Choir 1, 2, 3. Gates House President 4. Dormitory Council 4. Social Activities Committee 2. Class Representative 1. Volley Ball 3. Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4. Can you imagine a dormitory president who dislikes rules and regulations. Doris belongs to that rare class. She has a weakness for dancing, singing, and walking. 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

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

l93l NORMAL OFFERING DOROTHY BOOTHBY 26 Wfoodlawn Street, Randolph, Mass. Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4. W. A. A. 1, 2. French Club 3, 4. Day Student Council 4. Soccer 2, 3. NVho dares to say that the normal, wholesome American girl has disappeared? 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
