In September, 1933, about one half of that same class returned to their Alma Mater to study for the fourth year and to receive the BSE. degree in June, 1934. Thus, on two occasions, this group of girls has made history in the annals of the College. They have grown with the school, serving in many ways as an experimental group for the many changes and developments occurring in the transition from a two year Normal School to a three and four year Teachers College. With the extra year of study and training gained from our work here we feel our- selves better equipped and more ready to begin our teaching. We have been given many privileges, including the honor of being the first group ever to wear the Cap and Gown at North Adams. On the day of the ceremony through which we received that honor, our feelings were expressed by our Class President as she addressed those gathered to witness the event: Mr. Holmes, President Eldridge, Members of the Faculty, Classmates, and Undergraduates- In behalf of the Senior Class I accept the honor and traditions which this cap and gown signify. As the irst class to wear these emblems, we are doubly honored. We have achieved the goal toward which we have striven for four years. These gowns symbolize that achievement, but they also symbolize the greater things which are to come. Our ultimate goal is still to be reacliseil, which, in the words of Browning, 'is to amend what flaws may lurk, perfect our work as planned'. To you, juniors, we express our appreciation of your cofoperation not only on this mem' torable day but also for that of the past three years. To you we say, 'Carry Onl'-that you may -stand as we do today-proudly, with humility for the future and loyalty and responsibility to your Alma Mater. Dr. Harry A. Garfield, President of Williams College, delivered an inspiring address which helped to make the occasion one of the most impressive of our college experiences' RUTH GLEASON, '34. Congratulations from the luniors to the Seniors on Cap and Gown Day Honorable Seniors, we as the junior Class wish to congratulate you this day for the honor which is being conferred upon you. It is with anticipation that we await the -day when we too, shall have achieved a similar triumph. As it is impossible for us to fill the places you leave, we are able only to strive to 'attain the respect and admiration which we all have for you. Your loyalty and ideals, personalities, and deeds have made it a pleasure to cooperate with you in the past and now, in assisting you today to don your caps and HELEN RANNEY, '35, 21
