JENKINS page five GROVER C. BOWMAN PRESIDENT X- PRESlDENT'S MESSAGE I wish to express my appreciation of the spirit of friendliness and goodwill with which you greeted me upon my assumption of the oflice of president. In so many ways and so often was this spirit shown, that I almost at once felt that I belonged, and that I could say in all sincerity, our college . I do not wish to think of our institution as one consisting of a president, faculty, and students with sharp distinctions, but rather do I consider it as a cooperative family in which each shares responsibilities and contributes to the realization of the objectives of the college. This is a college with noble traditions. Those who preceded me in my office have set high standards of character and achievement which shall ever be a challenge to me. The form and expression of ideals change, the ideals remain ever the same. This college shall, to the limits of my capacity for leadership, continue to educate and train high grade teachers for our public schools in an environment and social life that shall be beautiful, wholesome, and happy. You, as students, are always the first consideration. This college exists for you and through you for the State that supports it. To the degree it serves you, and you serve it, are its purposes realized. Because we are a small college we can know one another. As pres- ident, I hope to know you not as a student group but as individuals. In the fine spirit in which you have greeted me I trust that the barrier of officialdom may be easily broken down and that each one of you will soon know me as a personal friend. Of that honor and privilege may I be worthy. Grorcr C. Bowman If .1 ., , Hi Us HQ page seven page eight ALBERT GOULD ELDRIDGE C o gin emnrtam ALBERT GOULD ELDRIDGE ' 1884 - 1936 r The qualities of Mr. Eldridge's character already recounted here are those by which we in the training school shall always remember him. We appreciate this special privilege of voicing our special respect and affection. With all the perplexing details of his responsibilities, with the added burden of failing health, he always kept within the scope of his thought and interest the children and the teachers of the training school. It was no small achievement that due to him the training school personnel felt its oneness with the Teachers College in purpose and in understanding. We remember him for the truly human interest which brought him often to the training classrooms. He rose above the mechanical routine of admini- stration to sense the child as the heart of education. We shall remember those occasions of a social sort when the spirit of fun swept away the restraint of his oflice and his grand sense of humor and gift of fun-making gave great joy to those with him. We shall remem- ber him as a personal adviser whose penetrating understanding was tem- pered by a true sympathy. We who were here to stand by his side when the continuance of this institution was in doubt know how truly deeply he loved the school. We shall above all remember him as a man in the truest sense of the word. His squareness and trustworthiness find significant expression in the record of placement of our graduates, a task and accom- plishment that was his. We remember him for his quiet, firm insistence on what he felt to be decent and right when the easier way would have been to compromise with conscience and to court personal popularity. He must, we may be sure, remain in our memories as a man of courage almost beyond belief, who day after day gave way by not a fraction of an inch to the misery that would have broken the will and courage of the average man. To have known one who faced death calmly, bravely and with self-control, to have known one who did not know what it was to spare himself, who drove himself to the duties cheerfully and vigorously as long as mortal strength endured, to have known Albert Eldridge is to have been granted a rare privilege and inspiration. R. F. H. Ilflgt' nine MISS PEARSON If any North Adams Normal School grraduate, State Teachers' College student. faculty member, past or present, were asked to give a synonym for art, the answer would be Miss Pearsong so completely does she express the art life of this college. Everyone who has learned through her wit and wisdom enjoys more of the beauty of livinggg the eye is led to look at a tall tuft of flowers beside the brook g each drinks the wine the morning spills and sees the light on yonder hills. Although Miss Pearson has warm and understanding' appreciation of the Berkshires. she is quite the wanderer to places strange and fanciful. Her eyes of wonder and hands of skill have given to many the joy of vicarious travel, and now that another dream argues the death of an old duty we wish her great happiness in her continued search for beauty. G. L. D. page fcn UIDWAIQD A tree that looks to God all day, And lifts its leafy arms to pray. These lines by Joyce Kilmer give rise to the debatable question, Why do tree branches point up ? Foresters will tell us that the limbs reach upward towards the sun, spreading to admit the light, to allow the air to circulate freely, and to stimulate fully the capillary flow of the necessary fluids manufactured in the little factories called leaves. This reply is correct but does this material explanation satisfy? Does it leave with the hearer the same feeling, the same sudden realization of the greatness of the Heavenly Father that Kilmer's explanation leaves? His lines give a wonderfully simple and natural answer to the ques- tion. It is a pleasant thought, that of a tree spending its lifetime in a gentle, murmuring prayer to the Great Creator, a prayer emphasized by every sighing wind or careless breeze, by each rude storm which, passing, leaves the sturdy limbs tempest tossed, still pointing upward, and by myriads of happy songsters who, nesting in the foliage, send their sweet chorus to the heavens in a melodious sweep of sound. In sunshine or storm, by day or night, in summer or winter, spring or fall, the leafy arms are eternally lifted, rendering praise. These two answers to the problem are both fine. Each contains a beautiful thought, but one is material, the other, ethereal. One is printed in science textbooks, the other is written indelibly in the hearts of many, small and great. One satisfies the intellect: the other, the soul. One is taught in the classroomg the other we learn to value highly as we journey through life. Each explanation is absolutely necessary. Food is needed for both mind and soul, and food for both is found in the answer to our question. Without the spirit, of what use are the workings of the mind? Without the thought behind, of what use the spirit? Without Kilmer's beautiful idea of the Being behind our being, of what good the wonderful story of the life He gave? Our little question is answered. The thoughts which have risen from it have challenged ages of wise and brilliant men. Rita Mead '37 page c'I1'z'cn . . .-gr ' A -...ui 2' ' BELL i . FACULTY GROVER C.

Commencement SENIOR CLASS HISTCRY It moves me now to take this time To state some facts in prose or rhyme: In rhyme or prose, it doesn't matter, It all sums up to female chatter. As freshmen, on excitement bent, Our first year passed without event, Except for work and one romance, A Christmas party and a dance. The Twig of Thorn, an Irish play, With Winnie Smith and Tiny Shea, Brought us into the famed limelight And made us noted in one night. 'Twas then the love bug indiscreet Swept two young soph'mores off their feet. Mark Hopkins next drew our attention Results of which I need not mention. Our junior year caused all to see That we agreed to disagree Upon all matters, small and great, Which are too num'rous to relate. But our heart interests were the same In senior year we made our name, For with our Fair of Seven Cents The scholarship fund did grow immense. The New Year brought us Mister B.. Sometimes we call him Grover C. His tactics please us to the letter, His dormitory rules far better. With happy looks and satisfied, We donned our caps and gowns with pride, A happier, wiser class were we Than when we came in thirty-three. So may my friends, yes, everyone, Mark these events as I have done, So that they may, what e'er befalls, The history of our class recall. Rita Mend '37 pugv Sl'Uf'Hfi'ClI ASS WILL We, the melancholy seniors, the forgotten man of next year, with joyful sighs and crocodile tears, swear this document to be our last will and testament. We wish to state that we are acting under no coercion from the underclassmen, and under no circumstances do We desire this will to be contested in court. We hereby name the fire escape and the skeleton in the hygiene room as the executors of this famous masterpiece. To the school we bequeath the honor and the glory of the class of '37, and money for a new arena in which the underclassmen can be comfort- able in any fight they may wish to promote. To Miss Pearson - a set of new drawing easels for her classroom which will not become loosened and fall with a loud clatter during a de- monstration of the correct way to draw goblets, books and fiower pots. To Miss Jenkins - our dearly beloved class advisor, who was al- ways a silent but effective influence on our stormy class meetings, we leave the season's crop of vegetables, flowers and novelties to be used at the next Seven Cent Fair, together with a mechanical clean-up man who will attend to all replacements about one A. M. the morning after. To President Bowman - we, the senior class, give the honor and privilege of publishing our sociological research papers, which we already consider famous documents. We suggest that the profits be added to the fund started earlier in the year for new furniture in the dormitory. To Miss Underhill - we leave a perfect class, if such existsg one that does all the suggested readings, attends the right moving pictures, knows how to sit through 2:15 class on Friday without looking sleepy, and does not groan aloud when truly collegiate assignments are posted. This class will also appreciate Miss Underhill's eHorts to keep alive that old college custom known as mid-years . In case the beneficiary misin- terprets the above, we would like to state that there is much to be read in between the lines. To Mr. Holmes - we leave a large roll of adhesive tape to be used in silencing the more loquacious members of his junior and senior classes who are never satisfied with anything, and who keep him up all night re- arranging training school assignments. To Miss Batchelder - a new system of ventilation so designed that windows can be opened at any time without incurring the wrath of the engineer. This system will also provide fur coats for the more suscep- tible students who find the temperature of the classroom too frigid for any thought or concentration. To Miss Boyden - an electric eye to pick out the guilty individuals who find chorus period a golden opportunity to finish a letter or to dis- cuss the clever remarks of the latest male acquaintance who has found his way into the sacred haunts of Anes'. To Mr. Venable - a mechanical question box which will automatic- ally flash forth his pet questions Why? and What do you think about it ? whenever a bewildered student finds enough courage to ask about the intricacies of the electric motor or the action of a wet cell. To Miss Weston - a rabbit's foot to carry in her pocket from hence- forth and forever more, especially during the skiing season. If this charm fails to keep that active person on her feet we suggest that some of the members of the ski club undertake the work. To Miss Donelson - a petite mannequin and a spacious salon in which to exhibit her luxurious wardrobe, which is the envy of all the girls at S. T. C. We feel that she needs some assistance, because she has so many charming clothes that she does not have the opportunity to wear them all. prlgr' 1-igli fron To Mr. Cummings - a set of balls and chains which, when fastened to the legs of members of his class, will help them to resist the temptation of attending the matinees at the local theatres and keep their minds fast- ened upon the arts of woodwork. To Mrs. Van Etten - a dependable, Sphinx-like robot who will not mind waiting until the final stroke of the bell at Mark Hopkins sounds the hour of eleven, when all good little dorm girls say good night and troop up the steps and into the dimly lighted halls of the dormitory. Answering telephone calls in the booth will also be a duty of this valuable assistant. To Miss Allyn - the eyes and ears of N. A. S. T. C., - an elevator and a pair of roller skates, which ought to be of great assistance to her in carrying out her duties. To Miss Ferguson - a miniature rubber doll which, when squeezed, will say You owe the state some money. When do you think you will be able to pay? This doll might be placed in the oflice, where its operation would be most effective. To the training school faculty - a training school that is a reality and not a mere dream, modelled after the latest trends in modernistic architecture, made of glass, so that each room will have an equal amount of sunlight. To the underclassmen - we bequeath a borax ski slide for all future winter carnivals. All they need to buy is the borax for the front lawn and terraces. To the dormitory girls - we willingly leave the big brown house across from the school to be used as an incinerating playroom with im- flammable furniture and fixtures. fThis is just in case the girls finally get tired of walking down the hill twice a day.J To next year's house president - we leave the bulldog tenacity and the gentle spirit of Helen Stokey. To Mary Connors - very generously Cwe thinkl is left the dignity and formality at dances that only Winnie Smith could ever possess. To Louise Long - Rita Mead gives her coloratura soprano voice and her ability to get high marks without much effort. To Rita Conway - goes the reserve and art of minding one's own business , an accomplishment belonging to only one girl - Ann Berte. To Marge Bowers - the precious night cap owned by Helen Strehle is very willingly bequeathed. That's to keep your head from catching cold, Marge. Doris Bourdeau leaves her sun-tan prescription to Ruth Dennison with the hope that she will follow the directions just as carefully as that particular senior girl did herself. To Evelyn Rustemeyer - we bequeath the entire class' ability to take it tcriticismj. Rowena Pittsinger leaves the whole of her wardrobe to whichever one of the two girls in the junior class it may fit. To Janet Jillson - Ruth Card leaves all future butler parts, hoping that Janet will be able to portray them one-tenth as well as Ruth did. Dot Dupell's duties as chaperon at all dances are tranferred with pleasure to Betty N eyland. To Betty Davine and Ginny Belanger - Margaret Stewart very thoughtfully leaves the long-sought after studio couch in front of Miss Underhill's room. Please use discretion, girls. To Bertha Ray - the pride and prejudice of French aristocracy is left by the regal Irene Gingras. To Margaret La Fountaine - the Bible and all its quotations is be- queathed by Marge Nevel. fBe sure to bring it to assemblies on Monday mornings, Peg.J page nintcen To Helen Gravelle - Doris Chonard bequeaths a set of twelve popu- lar records, to be used for poverty dances only. In the event that they are used for any other purpose, Elizabeth Dresbold is given our full con- sent to break them, in Doris Chonard's backyard. To Dot Jacob - the knack and the ability to sell anything from a vegetable to a peanut is left by that very capable salesgirl, Ruth Pomeroy. To Anne Degnan - Muriel Sherman leaves her booklet entitled, Hou' To Be Beazztzfzzl Though Thin. It might come in handy, Anne. To Barbara Goodwin - the sole honor and art of how to preside at class meetings is very graciously bequeathed by Alma Benedetti. To Louise Pignatielli - is revealed the secret of how to be healthy though loquacious, fthe one who let the cat out of the bag being no other than Evelyn Lucy.J Signed Catherine Shea Ann Berte Witnesses The Russian Horse The Greek God ,-,- ' -.Q V YI: '. 5 'g ,f 1. 5' C35?Z1i11f1 Awifgge-fi? : page twenty ALMA BENEDETTI Norlh Adams, Zllass.

Stolfey Elizabeth Neyland, '38 Elizabeth Rita Mead Taconic Hall ADDRESS OF WELCOME President Eldridge, members of the faculty, parents, and friends: To this class day, the class of 1937 bids you welcome. The time that is given to us today for these exercises is much too short to express our many thanks. To you, President Eldridge and members of the faculty, we offer heartfelt gratitude. We entered this college with only a few ideas of what was meant by teaching. Through your guidance and leadership you have made us understand that to teach is more than to be present in a classroom telling children what to do. Now we know that being a teacher means that we are shaping the characters of the people who will form the next generation. We are especially grateful to the training school fac- ulty. The experiences that you have given us are invaluable. All the time that you have spent with us will be doubly appreciated when we come to conduct our own classes. In your demonstrations you have set a goal for us toward which to work. This goal is far ahead of us at present, but we know there is a possibility of reaching it if we teach with you as our models. Towards our parents we feel the deepest thankfulness. You are the ones who gave us the opportunity to gain the education which this college offers to the girls of Massachusetts. You started us in the public schools under the guidance of the teachers of your generation. Many of those teachers were graduates of this institution. You were so satisfied with the results of their work that you were willing for us to follow the same fine vocation. For three years we have been preparing for the teaching profession. This has meant great sacrifices to you, but we trust that you will be repaid in the work we do. To the friends of this college we are greatly indebted, for you were the ones who saw the necessity of keeping this institution open. It was you who worked for the cause of education in this part of the state, you who have ever stood ready to aid us in time of need. Each one of you has helped us in your own particular way. It is fitting that you should be the ones who are here today. We shall be students as long as we live, for to educate is to lead out-- --to guide from the known forward into the greater unknown. In changing times like these, times of which it might well be said that they are times that try men's souls , the future is indeed an un- known quantity to us. But whatever the developments of this rapidly ad- vancing age, our children will need to be intelligent and loyal citizens. Our mission as teachers is to develop their intelligence and enrich their loyalty. At the reunion of the alumnae of this college, Commissioner Reardon said, It is the end, the purpose of the school system of Massa- chusetts to train its children in a proper knowledge of and a true appre- ciation for their rights and their duties under the American system. It is toward this end that the schools of Massachusetts have been working for the past one hundred years, and it is toward this end that we shall devote our work. Helen Sfokey '37 page flvvnfy-Sc'1'0n ADDRESS TC UNDERCLASSMEN Today I'm not going to tell you about life as a journey, life as a struggle, or life solemn with standards to maintain and lofty goals to achieve. I'm going to tell you about life as life. I'll not even pretend that this is the last time you are to see me. Consequently, if I make any broad sweeping statements now, next year you can see for yourself if I invalidate them. Perhaps you are wondering what the topic life as life means. It's really very simple, the aspect of it that I shall discuss today. It just covers your life up here at college. We all know that college life isn't a simple one, neither is it so very diflicult. We all have our ups and downs, times when things don't go along so smoothly as we would like to have them. However, sometimes we make mountains out of molehills, so to speak, and let little things get the best of us. Remember that it has been said, by Disraeli, that Little things affect little mindsf' Of course, this doesn't apply to you. Everyone knows what great minds teachers and students have. You never wail and moan about too much work to dog you never grumble and fret about trivial matters. Other students in other colleges do that, but not you. You like all your teachersg that is, to a certain extent. But certain- ly, you are not like some grammar school and high school children who think of teachers in the same category as policemen, jailors, or judges. You think of them as your friends, desiring to help you, to enrich your lives with knowledges they have acquired and which you as yet have not had a chance to assimilate. Your life up here need not be burdened and thwarted by petty argu- ments and jealousies. You can practice ahead for good citizenship by sup- porting wholeheartedly your club and class officers. Of course, you wouldn't dream of staying away from any social function, and you just beg for the honor of being on the clean-up committee after a dance. As for academic matters, you give credit where credit is due, and don't be- grudge your friend a higher mark than you. Is it not almost disconcertingly likely that the way we act up here .vill strongly influence the direction our characters will take when we are but of college? A degree is not going to work a miracle and make us over. Why not see to it that right now we free ourselves from the childish habits if small-mindedness, petty jealousies, silly quarrels, and unfair growling ind grumbling. In our life up here we have a mixture of duties and pleasures in con- iection with lessons and teacher-training, athletics, and social activities. Jet us try to take the bitter with the sweet and be what we think We are, nut usually aren't, broadminded. Catherine Shea '37 page twenty-ciglzt ADDRESS TO THE UPPERCLASSMEN The advice to the underclassmen I'm sure is gratefully received. But may I remind you that the misunderstood sophomores are no longer underclassrnen? We are about to enter the sacred realm of the upper- classmen. Even the freshmen's rank has been moved up a peg. In short, we are not so insignificant as we were in September. Only by the light of your guiding lantern, dear upperclassmen, has our path been pointed out to us. Had it not been for these shining examples would the sophomores know exactly how clean the city keeps the nooks and crannies of the post- oflice steps? Would the freshmen know exactly how many inches long Main Street is? By the way, Little things affect little minds. Perhaps Disraeli should have added a P. S. saying that this excludes upperclassmen. This would help us a great deal next year. Yes, upperclassmen, the path of life at college is life as life . You know, -just one happy song. But you optimistic lassies with your degrees within a stone's throw forget the ruts in this royal road to learning. Why bother with pessimistic ideas on a festive occasion like this? As you have said, life is no longer compared tritely to the well-known journey, that struggle, that climb, but there are still roads to be traveled. Modern traf- fic is confused and confusing, and we of the well known younger genera- tion are learning to drive safely and skillfully. We do not carry a torch. but we are at the wheel, whether it be in a Model T or Rolls-Royce. Betty Ncylund '38 CLASS SONG Oh Alma Mater, grand and dear, We'll soon leave your halls. We've spent happy hours here And now as we pause, Fond mem'ries come drifting Like clouds thru the sky, Conquests, dream 4, and ambitions And joys gone by. Farewell, dear Alma Mater, Our glad voices sing. With praises unending These cherished halls ring: And, as we pass onward, These joy-tinted days Will not lessen our feeling 'Tho rosy the way. . U Dm nth, Dupcll pugc fu'r'nfy-Him' Ave Salve Vale! Hail, salutations, farewell! What a world of meaning can be read into this brief phrase. In these three short Latin words a whole lifetime could be summed up. Ave, Srzlve, Vale! If a person who was nearing the close of life should utter them, the emotion expressed in his voice might tell us the story of his life, of its heights and depths, its possible growth out of a fruitless, drab existence into a vital life, a life more rich, more abundant because of those heights and depths. We are still young, but surely in this same way the three years of college student's life might be elucidated by an interpretation of the words ''Hail-salutations-farewell1 For the junior class these words have a special significance. They have not merely been said by us, they have been lived vitally by us, in the sense that they express how we have felt during these past three years. We entered this college, and in so doing entered upon a new type of life. This was our Are! At first, perhaps, the answer to our bright Hail seemed just an echo, a reflection of our own thoughtlessly hopeful youth. We expected a cheery Salve in response. Perhaps some of us heard just the neutral echo, a sound devoid of significance, merely to be heard and forgotten, but most of us heard a sober note hinting of the struggles and difficulties to come. In it were undertones of disappointment as well as over-tones of hope and promise. We sensed a challenge and were unwill- ing to be happy on a minor note, to avoid the struggle, to miss the possible triumph of the full diapason of success. As we progressed in knowledge and education we knew the meaning of that Salve. It was the greeting of the present--the echo of the past-- a greeting to the joys and sorrows, the mistakes and achievements of our school life. We are all individuals. Our pasts have been different, our futures undoubtedly will be divergent ones, yet our presents are comparably sim- ilar. We came together from widely dissimilar communities and families, with varying educational background, but we all came for a common pur- pose, the securing of an education so that we in turn might transmit that education to others. In obtaining that goal we have shared for three years a wide variety of experiences which, although we have kept through them all the mould of our own individualities, have served as a mortar cementing us together. As graduation time draws near, that murmur of Saline seems to have risen to a peal of joy, joy in attaining a portion of our goal, joy because it is good to be young and to be the center of attention, joy in the praise of our parents and friends who are concerned with our progress. And mixed with that emotion is another one, harder to define, yet deeply felt. It seems to be an intermingling of curiosity and expectancy, of doubt and hope as to what the future holds. Indeed we hear another salutation, Vale, which is not merely a fare- well to the past, but hail to the future, for most of us to another year of college, to real attainment, to another year of life which will bring work and play, laughter and sorrow. Today is not a day for unhappiness. We graduate tomorrow-yes-but it is not the end of college. It is a spur rather to greater effort in the future. pugw llzirfy To us, then, the word Vale does not mean an irrevocable farewell, for in the coming year there will begin again the cycle of Are, Salre, Vale. It will mean that again we shall meet new experiences. We shall discard them, or absorb and incorporate them, and go on living more fully, saying in our own way what Tennyson has so beautifully expressed: I am a part of all that I have met Yet all experience is an arch wherethro' Gleams that untraveled world, whose margin fades For ever and for ever when I move. Doris Chormrrl '37 IVY ADDRESS Let me tell you about John. He is a garage man, a mechanic. An ordinary man who fixes cars? Oh, no, not John. He is a genial German, generous in size and generous of heart, with a special gift for making friends. A few weeks ago I was grumbling to John about all the work we had to do up here, about the late hours we had to keep in preparing lessons for the training school, about the heartlessness of the teachers and about exams coming on. But you always go back, said John. If it's as bad as you say, why do you like it so well? If that question were put to anyone of the students here, each heart would hold the same answer to the question of why we are content here. That which was said to be the secret of Charles Kingsley's life is the secret of our happiness. When asked by Mrs. Browning what it was that made his life beautiful, Kingsley replied, I had a friend. There is noth- ing in life like friendship. It makes us strive for the best. It makes life beautiful and really worth living. At no time can a girl afford to be without a friend, especially when she is away at school. Each year she will have laughter and loveliness to share, and each year she will have tears to be dried, and so through cloud and sunshine she will be glad of someone to go hand in hand with during those four brief years. Several years ago a prize was offered for the best definition of a friend. The one which received the award was A friend is the person who comes in when every other person has gone out . It is only a friend who can penetrate the inmost feelings of a heart with her silent sympathy. The heartbreaks of youth can be understood only by a mother or by youth, and if mother is not there, it is all-important to have a friend near sy. Sometimes it's academic troubles, grades, deficiencies, perhaps a carefully planned lesson that is a failure in the training school. Again it may be personal relationships, when we have been hurt by, or hurt those with whom we work and play. These are the times when we are glad of that friend to whom we can open the locked doors of our hearts and re- ceive comfort for that soul aching and lonely. page flzfwfy-mir' Not all people come to friendships in the same way. My earliest recollection of a friend, outside of my family, is of Marj. I think I was in the third grade in a new school. Marj had on a green dress. She sat in the middle row in about the fifth seat. I was alone. I had forgotten my lunch, and Marj shared hers with me. Today with a little child's prayer on lips I say, Thank you, God, for making me forget my lunch, and giving me Marjf' If you search into the past, memories of your friends-in-need will surge into your hearts. As we think back through these four years we can bring to mind the first acquaintances made here. Each will recall the Freshman Reception, when half timid advances were made to gain new acquaintances, the old study hall and its occupants, the dorm and its girls, the lunch room and those with whom we shared meals, Greylock hikes and the intimacies made then, basket ball games, plays and fellow-Thespians, picnic days and the pals we went swimming with. Each time we came together was an event because it meant a chance for deepened friendship. Samuel Johnson once said, If a man does not make acquaintances as he advances through life, he will soon find himself alone. A man should keep his friendships in constant repair. John, my friend the mechanic, must know the parts of an automobile and how these parts fit into the scheme of things in order to do a good re- pair job. We, too, must know the cogs in friendship in order to keep it in constant running condition, ready to go out and climb the high roads. Our neighbor in Amherst whom we know as David Grayson remarks that capacity for friendship increases. When a person's heart really opens to a friend, he finds there is room for two, and when he takes in the second, behold the skies lift and the earth grows wider and he finds there is room for two more . Our hearts have opened and our chain of friends is increasing. We relinquish the joy of our associations in this college with the hope that these friendships which have taken root here will in some measure be like this ivy. They are not mushroom plants which grow over night and shrivel and decay. Their growth is slow, but each spring when April comes round, you may be sure that there are new leaves sent out from the original plant to catch the sun. And, if in this long ascent the groping tendrils find some flaws in the wall, they will gently cover over rough and smooth alike and cling to it more tenderly. Winifred K.

We start from beginnings small, But the greatness of all nature Is reflected in us all. Ivy that brings us a message Each year at Commencement time, You may be our inspiration As ever you upward climb. We hold fast to thee, Alma Mater, We too have a goal sublime: Your aim is our aspiration To attain in the fulness of time.

OFFICERS President Betty Neyland Vice-president Mildred Boyd Secretary Charlotte van Dam Treasurer Margaret La Fontaine As graduates of high school we felt proud of ourselves and confident in our own powers. But when we entered college, we discovered that our knowledge was negligi- ble and our inexperience vast. The new life that lay before us was to prove to be thrill- ing and impressive. The solemnity and mystery of those first days were lightened by our Big Sisters. Then they showed us how fine Big Sisters could be, but as we became more sure of ourselves, they asserted the prerogatives of sophomores and firmly but quietly made it evident that we we1'e freshmen. On the occasion of the two social events of the year entrusted to the freshmen, the Hallowe'en Party and the Freshman Reception, we put forth every effort to prove that we were worthy to take our place in the life of our college. After our class election, we were given one vote in the legislative body of the school, the Student Council. Thus our first year ended, and in every heart there glowed a warm love for our new mother. Since that first year our affection and loyalty have steadily increased. As sophomores we took a more active part in school activities. It was our turn to play the role of Big Sisters, and we warmly and wholeheartedly welcomed our Little SiSte1's to college, hoping that the year before them would be as happy as ou1's had been. As juniors we began to feel the real significance of what might be implied in the term teacher. Our weeks in the training school were profitable ones, and happy in spite of being disconcertingly enlightening. During this year it was that the president and friend who had welcomed us to college was taken from us. But we were soon to wel- come an old friend as the new leader of our school - President Bowman. These three years have been short, full years. They leave memories that will never dim: memories of friendships, parties, outings, intimacies.

Hear ye! The second act of that great play Class of '39 is just coming on the air. Act one ended on a happy note--new contacts, new friends, greater aspirations--a successful year! Vacation was pleasant, but returning to school was even better. As sophomores we had the privilege of opening the 1936-37 social season with our hop. Did you go? It was fun! We felt rather proud of our efforts. After our fling we settled down to a steadier pace. In fact, although we try to keep it secret, the sophomores studied. Be that as it may, Christmas came along. Several of us were in the Christmas play and all of us took willing parts in the Christmas-New Year holiday. The second semester started slowly. Routine once more claimed us but--we found a Cause--a trip to Boston. To this end, we devoted our spare time, first to a dance, and then to a bridge-whist. Both were worth our efforts. At present the fleeting moments are rushing by fast enough to keep our heads in, shall we say, a constant motion, mostly circular. But with a little luck, a fair amount of work, and a great deal of worry, we hope to enter successfully our junior year. v T . B., '38 page tl11'rfy-s1'.f.' FIQESHMAN CLA!! OFFICERS President Barbara Goodwin Vice-president Shirley Rudnick Secretary Elaine McCormick Treasurer Marie Pierce HISTORY With an eager gleam in our eyes and an almost imperceptible trembling in the region of our knees, we, the freshmen, on a memorable day last September, presented ourselves to be noted coldly and casually as members of this institution. Before we had wandered long through the corridors, knowing none and unknown to all, our ever-thoughtful Big Sisters took us under a protecting wing and formally introduced us to the dictators of classroom and campus, the teachers and upperclassmen, at the Freshman Reception. Of course the sophomores, delighting in their transformation from the squelched to the squelchers, immediately started their hazing by presenting us with brilliant or- ange hair-ribbons and an obnoxious set of rules. Those perky bows, however, instead of imparting a feeling of insignificance, served only to emphasize the pep and individuality characteristic of the class, while the rulings became the cause of many a struggle in which the freshies always held their own. Then came our chance to show our capacities to the fun-loving members of the school. Black cats and witches, co1'n-stalks and dragons were the signals for starting the fun which extended through a hilarious evening. Early in our career we saw the need for better organization, so straightway set about electing a very efficient group of officers. fThey needed to be efficiently Suddenly we found ourselves plunged into a season of social events tempered by studies. Every club, every dance, every party had its freshmen. All the foolish esca- pades, startling reforms, and some of the worthwhile work could be traced to our ente1'- prising class. The spring brought with it the climax of our social attempts. For the freshman dance College Hall was transformed into a fairyland by deft fingers and brains. Cynical upperclassmen app1'oached with supercilious attitudes, and, after a gala evening, left with admiration in their eyes. So closes a year packed full of all college can offer. We've come to treasure the traditions of the school, the guidance of the teachers, and the friendships of the students, and We only hope that in this very brief time we've added something memorable, some- thing of value.

Much of the talent displayed on that occasion must forever go unrecognized.

In fact they were so anxious to make an impression that they even gathered wood with alacrity. lt was not quite so lively a group. however, which, somewhat weak in the knees from climbing, viewed the immortal hills from the Greylock Beacon on our annual mountain day. Throughout the winter, the freshmen, influenced by the spontaneity of the three upper classes, continued to hold their own in all sports, being especially adept in basketball. XYith the arrival of snow, plans for a winter carnival were formulated. Although old King Snow failed us, the affair wasn't too much like Hamlet with Hamlet left out, for our Hfty guests from our sister colleges helped us to make things lively. ln March, in order that our social life should not be neglected, we sponsored a dance, and our members stepped to the syncopated rhythm of Harry H31't,S orchestra. In May we offered congratulations to the sophomores for putting over such a pleasant Play Day in spite of the sun's failure to assist. And shall you ever forget how per- fectly grand Tiny looked as she was ushered to the throne on May Day? lVe all felt as if we were really ladies-in-waitine' at the queen's court. Yes, it has been a busy year, packed full of all sorts of exciting events.

Smith Secretary-Treasurer Margaret Lanoue The Student Council has tried to fulfill the objectives of its constitutiong that is, to formulate and enforce regulations for student conduct, and to further the general interests of the student body. We were happy to welcome President Bowman to our school and to have him present at many of our meetings. We pledged him the support of the entire student body and t1'ied to assist him in every way possible in his new responsibilities. We were also glad to welcome Miss VVeston as our woman faculty advisor. Under the leadership of the Council, a new ring was designed and was adopted as the standard school ring. This year we thought that it would be a worthwhile activity for Sfnllllj of our members to attend the New York Conference. From the reports of the two delfgqates, it certainly proved to be a most valuable experience. prrgc forty-om i 1 l The Glee Club OFFICERS President , . . . .

INTERFERES To write, or not to write - - that is the question, and what to write - - aye, there's the rub. Wait! I have an idea - - but it's gone. An untimely interruption in the shape of a West Highland terrier snuffs out the candle of genius and my mind is a blank. Just at present the aforementioned canine is audibly languishing his little heart out because of his inability to reach some brother doggies whom he hears outside. By dint of a little stretching, his paws just about reach to the window ledge and he pillows his head on the sill and emits agonized yelps and groans from the very depths of his doggish soul. I really believe he occupies an important position on the staff of the Dogtown E vc'nirzg Gazette, so much of his time does he spend in gazing out of the window when he isn't poking his inquisitive little nose into anything and everything which doesn't concern him. A short time ago he developed an amazing fondness for cheese. It happened that in the course of his wanderings he came upon a mouse trap set and baited with a luscious morsel. Led on by the tantalizing odor of the delicacy, he proceeded to in- vestigate the trap. It was a whiskerless and badly frightened puppy who bolted up- stairs a second later and took refuge under his mistress' bed, from which place of safety he emerged later that afternoon a chastened and a wiser dog. Next day, so I am told, appeared in the daily publication of Dogtown an article warning all dogs who value their whiskers to beware of the delicious but alas! decidedly dangerous delicacy known as cheese. The article was signed One Who Knows. But here comes Ruff, my big black setter, and with his advent all my hopes of peaceful concentration are dispelled. Ruff is the proud owner of two long, shaggy ears which are ever bones of contention between the two dogs. It may be that Granger is of the opinion that long, black ears would enhance his particular style of beauty or that the setter's ears were made expressly for his amusement. At any rate, he never fails to avail himself of an opportunity to pull them. And usually Ruff humors him good-naturedly. Occasionally, however, the big dog seems to have weightier matters at hand, and at these times he gently but Hrmly puts Granger on the fioor and stalks off in stately dignity. But Granger, nothing daunted, tags along behind him, pulling at his hind legs and utterly spoiling the effect of RuH's exit. So he frolics through life, now in, now out of all sorts of scrapes, romping his way into the hearts of the stoniest dog haters and gladdening them with his winsome ways. Oh, for the life of a dog, where science facts and English themes can hold no horrors! Rita Mead '37 MEMURIES Yes, the old farm has been sold. That simple sentence holds 'i world of meaning for me. My earliest recollections are of happy summer days at my grandfather's farm. In fact, part of every summer of my life has been spent there. Thinking about these unforgettable good times and knowing that they represent a closed chapter in my life fclosed by the sale of the farm! makes me feel old. Old at seventeen sounds laughable, doesn't it? But my tenderest memories center about the old farmhouse and red barn. lt can remember how even when I was very small, I was always anxious for summer to come so that we could go back there. We had such fun haying, berrymg, and playing out-of-door games, or hiking to the nearby lake for swimming anil boating, but the rainy days at the farm were best of all. We made the rafters ring with our shouts as we jumped in the hay, each daring jumper trying to out do the other. Speaking of daring brings to my mind the day our whole tribe of kids Cas we called ourselves! walked the ridge pole of the barn! VVhen we were tired of games and jumping, the hay loft with its cushiony, dusty sweet hay made a perfect spot for story telling. page forty-foul' Nothing very thrilling or exciting, you say. No, but those bright summer days form a golden chain of memories and the rainy days seem like tiny gems here and 1here in the chain. Yes, the old farm is gone, but the memories are mine to keep always. Beth Lane 'LO AFTER THE DANCE Good night! Good n-i-ight! Voices waft back through the calm stillness, merry laughter fades away in the distance, and suddenly I find myself in the dim solitude of my own room. All the glamour of the dance seems unreal, a dream of the long ago. Vaguely I re- call a myriad of bright lights, the awe-inspiring straightness of the receiving line, and shining floors reflecting white shirt-fronts and colors from the gayest reds to the most delicate pastels. Above it all comes the strains of a dreamy waltz broken sud- denly by a bit of syncopation. Music rules every movement, every word. every thought. Bits of conversation, intricate steps, whirling, dipping, laughing, joking-on with the dance! The chiming of a clock brings me back with a jerk to cold reality. The vision grows dimmer and dimmer, and the chintz curtains, once so admired and now so drab, become more and more real. I catch a fleeting glimpse of myself in the mirror. Startled, I pause. To whom belong the sparkling eyes, the rosy tiush of excitement and the light, tapping feet? This gown, bright as the plumage of imaginary birds, this faint recollection of dancing on and on, - these can't be mine. Puzzled, I slide into my comfortable, yet somehow distasteful, bed. A feeling of let-down, one of slight disappointment and longing, invades my senses, only to be soon replaced with the dream. Gliding, laughing, turning, chattering- on with the dance! Doroflz y Sfcud, YQ 0 PURELY PEHSUNAL PIFFLE Some of the items in the last issue caused minor furors. I await the results of these few gentle remarks. I It seems a shame that some of the best dancers at a recent charity ball didn't return after intermission. It couldn't be that they didn't like the music. What then? Some requests have been made that one of our very talented young ladies compose a new song entitled Rhapsody in Brown . No doubt she could do it. There's nothing like love to bring out the genius in a person. Congratulations to the lucky chap who has won the hand of one of our freshmen. Don't forget, Mrs. Bride-to-be, I, have' an invitation tolyour cabin in Maine! Here's news! At last the dorm will have more comfortable furniture. Can't you imagine sitting on a comfortable davenpo1't before our fireplace? Vlfell, there's no harm in imagining. The mailman didn't tell me, but then he didn't have to. Every day he leaves a letter Written in a beautiful masculine hand for a senior girl. Some of our couples at dances are going Greta Garbo on us. It seems they want to be alone. Fashion in some centers dictates zippers to be worn on almost every garment. New swing skirts have themg pockets are made bright by themg everyone wants them. Everyone but a member of the Drama Club play. page forty-five Now that full skirts are back, we'll all be looking around for escorts who can swing us to the graceful Strauss waltz. Right at present I can think of one in particular who would find favor in the eyes of one senior young lady. This strikes me as being a very good description. Life is like a huge wheel and we are like insects flying against it, giving it a push and then falling off to the ground. IV. K. Smith '37 BO0K REVIEW The Higher Learning In America - - Robert Maynard Hutchins This book is one which should challenge us if for no other reason than the fact that we are representatives of the profession which President Hutchins attacks. The Higher Learning in America is an educator's answer to the question, What is the matter with American education? Mr. Hutchins knows what the matter is with American univer- sities and he knows what to do about it. Throughout the four chapters of his book, he hurls merciless criticisms at our educational system and hands the public at large as well as the educational world a rebellious book of revolutionary theo1'y. Mr. Hutchins asserts that our higher education suffers from chaos due to a love of money, a misconception of democracy, and an erroneous idea of progress. The emphasis of education has shifted from learning how to think to learning how to adjust one's self to an industrial society. The pursuit of truth is the aim which Professor Hutchins urges in the higher learning, for he believes that real education is the cultivation of the intellect. Mr. Hutchins conceives a reformation by complete separation of general and liberal education from professional and technical education. The completeness of the separa- tion set us is indicated by such passages as: I concede the probable necessity in some fields of practical training which the young man or woman should have before being permitted to engage in the independent practice of a profession. Since by definition this training cannot be intellectual and since by definition a university must be intel- lectual, this type of specific training for specific jobs cannot be conducted as part of the university's work. He suggests that technical and research institutes be created in connection with the university for students who wish practical training after com- pleting their general higher educational courses. This book represents a swing away from the practical and material toward the intellectual. Mr. Hutchins asks no more than that we think about the matter, and, if we agree, that we organize a few universities on the basis he suggests. As a mem- ber of the teaching profession, why not read this book and fo1'mulate your own opinion on the matter? Rita fllcad '37 WHY HAPPY ENIJINGSP Of late the movies have been grafting happy endings to moving pictures which definitely should not have them. XVhy is it so? A few years ago the great American public revolted against the trivial type of film that was being presented, and, as a con- sequence, we are seeing moving pictures of higher standards. . Shall we get true conceptions in our films only by another strong and insistent pro- test, or is it that the movie-goers as a whole really want their entertainment to end pleasantly? If it is true that the movie public in America stubbornly refuses to give up its idealism and become realistic to a certain extent, one might expect to see portrayed on the screen in the future plays like the goody-goody stories of our childhood whe1'ein every villain is punished and every upstanding character amply rewarded. H 'Doesn't it really rankle your soul to see a movie which ought, if it is depicted with fidelity to life and to the story from which it is adapted, to end unfavorably ffor somel, come triumphantly forth with a joyful finish? I hope that some day the taste of the prlgr fo1'l1j-s:1'.4' movie-goer will reach a higher level, that he will demand reality in pictures and will scorn those with silly, ideal happy endings. I don't mean that we should determinedly stamp out all our idealism. That would be impossible and even tragic. But we should try to see things with a little more realism, at least up to the point of understanding when the motion picture industry is insulting our intelligence. Trying to make us swal- low stuff that even children recognize and pass by as no good is undoubtedly just that, ---insulting our intelligence. Illary T.
