T0 THE CLASS OF 1938: IN A FEW days you will be leaving collegeg but in all the years to come, the college can never leave you. With you will ever be the memories of the experiences, the friendships and loves of four glorious years of youth. Much of the knowledge which you so laboriously acquired will be forgotten-but the spirit of learning and the joy of scholarship will not depart. The glimpses of truth and beauty given you here will make it impossible for you to be satisfied with anything less than the best in life. This is the final measure of your education. You go out to teach. To the throngs of children into whose lives you are to come, may you bring only that which you have found to be good and true. Out of your own richness in living may you give freely and gladly to those less fortunate so that they, in their turn, may be released from poverty of mind and spirit. This will be the true measure of your teaching. May the dreams of your youth come true. Grover C. Bowman, President 9 ,J 5 n r F 1 4 l Il wry S. lirmuly Coll:-gc Fuvul ly l'1csi4lm-llt lil'm'm-1' V.

HAT lovely velvety complexion which Siggie possesses is characteristic of her Norwegian heritage. She may well pride herself upon it. Sig is that blond Nordic type of which we cannot talk lest a bit of envy creeps in. D n n Wie also wish we might be able to talk or write as intelligently on as many subjects as Sig does. She is able to keep a conversation rolling along and make it entertaining as well as enlightening. n n D She has a kindly word for whomever she meets and is deeply sincere when she sympathizes with anyone. Helpful in our times of sorrow and joyous in our times of gladness. she is able to put herself in the other personis position - to be sad when others are sad and happy when others are glad. n ,, ,, We wish we could have seen more of her than we did in her sporadic appear- ances at extra-curricular activities, but she has made her permanent impression on us, just the same. 28 CLARA Mcf'ORMIC'K Wit, now and then, slruclr srnarllv, slzozrs a spark.

She possesses a hidden subtle wit which emerges at special occasions. In fact, her remarks are few and far between, but they can pierce the conversation with the unexpectedness and sharpness of a sudden explosion. Having recovered from the shock we are impressed with the fact that only Clara could have phrased the remark ine words which were so devastating. n n n Her greatest asset is her unselfish willingness to assist at any occasion. With a sincere spirit of help- fulness and sympathy she accepts her share. She also possesses that rare ability ol being able to get along with anyone, at any time, and under any circumstances. ii n n Above all, we appreciate the fact that she is an excellent listener. Pei haps that is one of the main secrets of her success. 29 ALICE McGRATH Bly own thoughts Are my companions. Archeryg lV.A.A. AL'S amiable nature makes her one of those priceless individuals Who, though non-committal, are agreeable and easily dealt with. We have yet to witness the occasion when her accommodating spirit is lacking. n n n She is apt to keep her thoughts to herself, and when troubled or worried she does not burden others with her cares. This attitude of bearing her share of trouble we noticed particularly when she was confined at home for one third of our sophomore year by a broken leg. n n n To take everything as it comes along shows that she possesses that quality of sportsmanship so essential to complete happiness. n n ,, She is extremely modest about one of her talents - playing the piano. As accompanist in our senior talent show, we had an opportunity to appreciate it. M D n It is gratifying to know a person who is without pretension, l1er own natural self at all times. 30 BETTY NEYLAND Those graceful acts, those thousand de- cencies that rlailv flow from all her words and actionsf, Class President Cl,2,3,4jg Student Council fl,2,- 3,4Dg Drama Club Ql,2,3,4D: Glee Club Cl,2,3,11j: Poetry Club CLD, Twig of Thorn CD3 I'll Leave It To You YV.A.A.

O MEET Betty is to come in Contact with a personality that unconsciously elicits the best in itself through the conscious effort of being considerate of others. n n n Who else could have made so capable an executive? A combination of delightfully contrasting traits gives her a rarity of character that is essential to the true leader. Serious, reticent, understanding at times: at others buoyant of spirit, entertainingly enthusiastic, and always deceivingly nonchalant if the oc- casion demands nonchalance. n n n Betty is an eager sports enthusiast. Each approaching season brings with it a new sporting thrill for her. Swimming, tennis, basketball, skiing, hiking, etc. etc. have given her a radiant appearance.

She has always been more than generous with the use of her car. lVhat we would have done without her it is impossible to say. Flo's life is overflowing with an animatedness which is evident in all that she does. The same spirited vitality which one notices about her dancing is also in evidence on the basketball court. She has a likable impetuousness about her. It is this unpredictable quality that keeps life from being dull for her and for us, for incidentally, riding in the car with her is a rather exciting pleasure. 32 BERTHA RAY Too busy with the crozulcfl hour In fear to live or die.

Bert, as our official make-up artist, has very effectively transformed our actresses into old ladies, young men, or old men as the role demanded.

Her sense of humor is searching. and she has the rare ability to see the joke when it is 011 herself. Another trait that it would be wise to learn from her is that of systematic and precise workmanship. She gave herself to the task of helping to increase the class fund and through her untiring efforts we raised a goodly amount. n D n Charlotte has a hobby which intrigues us all. She dresses dolls in their native costumes. The workmanship is exquisite and the re- sults are dainty and lovely to look at. n n n As for her athletic prowess, she was one ol' the main reasons why we would have liked to play the other Teachers Colleges in soccer.

We know her success as a teacher has been well afhrrned, for Rose al- ways worked well with us. 38 THE SENIOR LEGEND From the hamlets of the Berkshires, From North Adams in the foothills, From the little towns surrounding, Came our tribe, the High School Seniors, Fame the blondes, brunettes, and titians, Came the short, the tall and mighty, Eager for an education, Eager for the life at college.

From the hamlets of the Berkshires, From North Adams in the foothills, From the little towns surrounding Came the escorts for our maidens, Dressed in plumage to attract them. Strange our sisters looked that evening, Strange their faces were with warpaint, Dancing, prancing to the tom-toms, At our festive Freshmen frolic. Months slipped by, 'til all too quickly June approached, and studies ended. We were free f no longer Freshmen, Lowliest tribe in all the village. Then a new name were we given, Sophomores, the tribe of guardians, Rulers of the new arrivals, Freshmen, lowest in the village. Uur beloved Sweet Singer left us: Now a new guide we selected, Now a big chief, strong and mighty. So with dances, studies, pow-wows, And our climb up old Mount Greylock, Quickly passed our year as sophomores At. our new lodge in the mountains, High among the noble Berkshires. Then a new name were we given, Juniors, tribe with disillusions. Now had come our time of suffering, Time of bard work, sacrifices. To the wilds the big chiefs sent us, Facing tribes of fierce papooses, Sent us to survive or perish. We survived, returned to homefires, Vhanged, matured, experienced, weary, lYorthy of the name of Juniors, XYorldly tribe and disillusioned. Now the Big Vhiefs called together All the tribes, their friends and kinsmen, Bade them come to see us given Our rewards, three year diplomas. We were free -f until the next year. Then a new name were we given, Seniors, haughty tribe and cliquey. Now a year of strife and struggle, Now a year of warfare followed, Sharp our words were, sharp as arrows, 39 . imef a ee in fs, 1ur an wounce . X l t f l g l t d l d Great tl1e proble111s now that faced us, Great one problem ever haunting. 'Tis a custom of tl1e college Fl t l t l l t d t ng ' lil eac 1 ri 16 J6.HI'6 e ar i Leave some lllelllflll' for tl1eir sisters, Menioir of its years of progress From the lowly tribe of l'lI'9SllHlBIl To tl1e llilllfflltt' tribe of Seniors, rw 1 So we tried to plan a yearbook, Tried to plan and tried to pay for. Huge the Slllll tl1e pri11ter wanted, Huge the sum for picture taking, Small tl1e sum we had collected, lYan1pun1! lYan1pun1l was our war cry. After many a serious pow-wow, After Illillly 2111 hour of pla1111i11g I ' A l lt 1 l ted ,o. o11r vear moo ' was con e , Memoir of our years of progress, Memoir of the tribe of Seniors. Now approached the time of parting, Now new garments were we given, Long black robes and caps with tassels, 40 Solemn, dignified, and stately, High mentality implyi11g. Once again the Big Chiefs summoned All the tribes, their friends and kinsmen, Bade them come to see us given Our rewards - degree of bachelor. To tl1e sound of pounding tom-toms, To tl1e sound of horn and symbols, Slowly moved our long procession To the gathering of the Big Chiefs, Chiefs from far and distant hamlets Here to give degrees to seniors. Then a new name were we given By the Big Chief of our college, Graduates, the Chieftain called us, Bachelors of Education. So We bade farewell to sisters, Said farewell to chieftains mighty, Started on our lonesome journey Toward a new world huge and frightening, Turned and waved farewell to college, Turned and sighed farewell to college- Graduates, alone - forgotten. Mildred Boyd TREATY WITH THE IOWAS CI OWE 'YAS5 On the grounds of Alma. Mater Where our ivies are in order, Tve, the Seniors, none diviner, Teachers of young minds rebelling, Gave a sign for freshmen order, Stood above our younger sisters, Passed the peace-pipe from our circle. From our vision, mountains rooted Climbed up to the heav'ns unending, Stretched their topmost rows of timber Till they seemed to be hair standing: And the sun, with dying ember, At the end of journey daily Fluug out beauteous shadows blending As she glided to her cradle. In a setting so conducive To the stir of red blood in us, With our hearts attuned to giving With our Indian ink free flowing, Tried to give our friends a. bargain: Ceded them our prized plunder - W'it.h a sigh these gifts relinquished: For the meekest and the bravest, Known as freshmen by our people, Scalps of facts we all have murdered: For the gayest and the spryest, Sophs who've changed their ways to our ways, Guns with which to wage all Forums: For the brightest, and the eldest, Juniors closest in their kinship, Booty with the warmth of color. As we scanned the group before us, With a sense of pride and duty We began to will to teachers Things to kccp us in their mem'ries. To Squaw Wfeston soccer inj'rics - Pawfkjnces barklcss from our battles: And, in View of future warriors, Left behind our bows and arrows And our Indian clubs so stable -- All these, helps for fitness index. Next came Big f'hief Art Instructor, Big f'hief Flagg with needs so many 4 Furs and skills for cold third floor room, Blankets showing our designing. With regret he sees us parting We who Shoshone in his classes When we into cakes of smooth soap Had to Chippeways as sculptors. To Squaw I'nderhill went corn sprouts Just to maize her garden watchers. Then to such a nature lover We unselfishly gave summer,f Our so gorgeous Indian summer Teeming with its harvests ripened: IYith this season for some hiking, IYent swift moccasins and leggings. U Great Spirit, we invoke thee As Squaw Donelson's new helper To keep books from transmigrating From this realm of books and pamphlets To unhappy hunting regions. IYith your faithful watch and guarding, She no more will be pursuing Girls we know she should be Siouxing. Our attention turned to music To Squaw Boyden and her trilling. She needs nightingales a humming Not Mofrejhawks athwarting high notes Left our repertoire completed And canoes for Indian love calls. 0 Squaw Queeney, new arriver, To you Foppermines we donate For the many tears you may find As you renovate our dorm-home. Of us Seniors few were dorm girls, But a group so choice as we were Hope that next year's dorming inmates Will be cherubs just as beaming. 'Round our eyes went circling, searching For another needy suspect, Found our answer in fhief Fummings, Carpenter to use our Chickfajsa ws. 41 Now Chief Venable is gloating 0'er the noble gift we gave him. In his yard the Indian Ocean W'ill flow in and on forever So its venerable water Can evaluate leaf notebooks By its test of floating power. To Chief Holmes we recommended He continue his son worship, For we plan not to give ours up. For this same dramatic fixer Left we braids to use before plays, Braids of hair so sleek and jet-black. For Squaw Jenkins, next in order, Designated our papooses Young and innocent in conduct 'l'o be kept amused with seatwork, Seatwork of a vital nature, Perhaps in the form of witchcraft. Hoofs that galloped loud and clangi Drew up to our Rig Chief Luddy, For a pony he'll be needing As he travels to earth's corners, North to southward, east to westwa To keep time with nation's doings. lfriendsliip of our distant tribesmen We bestowed upon Chief Broudy. Haunting his extension courses With an appetite for learning And for earning in profusion All degrees that can be offered. Now that needs of higher up-ers Had been met so well and wisely, Counsel gave we to all others 'l'o be careful in the future When in fire-drills, careless steppers Dodged the Indian filing system. Special, private, dear, possessions Were soon willed to worthy users: Sigrid Lobdell's grand complexion 'l'o H. Gwozdz was warmly granted Doris Jacob, hungry warrior, To Miss Potter, likewise hungry Gladly gave a cornmeal handout: 42 ng rd, Q Ruthie Denison's initials Sure to bring her wealth unbounded, In the garb of Indian R.lC.D. dye, Were annexed to Connie Gingras: Tall Bert Ray with nerk so stretchy Left her india-rubber neckwear To another shortie - Klammer: Charlotte van Dam, make-up model, Gave her warpaint to Booth - white man. O most worthy Senior tribesmen Who with me have shared dance honors For dance rhythm and fine costumes, What, D what shall be the fate of Dance attire and our war bonnets, Our so gauzelike rainbowed costumes, Our sheer May Day gowns of beauty! Our next duty seemed apparent. We must choose some new tribe leaders To evoke our usual war cries For more homework, longer school days, For dorm privileges fewer. Long Louise, the basket tosser, Shall be known to all as Sky Land: Dotty Stead, who sleeps through breakfasts She as Hole-in-Day will answer, Ella Scace who tats unceasing Sits for hours on chairs four-legged, Shall be Sitting Bull's successor: Eunice Bettcher, a sleep walker Who crawls out of her nest nightly, She, as Little Crow must figure: Shirley Rudnick, blushing beauty, You shall be Red Cloud hereafter: Ermyn Russell and Ruth McKay, Classmates and the best of playmates, You shall stand out as our Two Joys. With our treasures all bequeathed, With a war-whoop, beating tom-toms, To the land of the Great Spirit, Follow we the dim horizon l'I'er to dwell beyond tribe limits. Now Cherokee we with pleasure! Ruth Denison PROPI-IECY OF '38 By our smouldering council fire, By the hill we love so dearly, YVe head tribesmen of this council Prophesy what will o'ertake us, Prophesy the future bravely, As 'twill be in nineteen sixty, As 'twill be when we are forty. Billie Boyd will do some teaching: iYith this fact we'll not take issue: But she will not teach school always, For her hair has such great beauty That we'll see her picture often Advertising some new product: But we'll not be fooled by pictures, For we'll know there's just one Billie, Ruth M. Cohen tells the story Of the world and what's before it, Of the things that make us truer, Braver and more loyal peoples, Tells us why the river leads us To a place where, though we fear it, ive shall find that sought.-for kindness, And these wars of t.ribes and nations lYill all cease and be forgotten, She'll help teach a greater lesson Just as have so many others For her knowledge is so learned Chiefs will stop and heed her preaching She will make her presence needed Reaching heights where men will praise her Since she helps them when they're troubled. M. C. Dempsey, in her tepee, Cooks and sews and does her cleaning, Hoes her garden, fixes flowers, Keeps her wigwam warm and spotless,- He'll be proud to bring his friends home: All this 'cause she goes to lectures, Learning all that they can teach herg Little wonder that she's happy. Ruthie Denison will flourish As a wife - but more important, She'll write clever little stories, Flip things for a younger public, Giving them shrewd bits of wisdom, Leading them without their knowingg But their parents will applaud her Thanking the Great Spirit for her. H. Gravelle paints famous pictures Of the sun, moon, sky and mountains, Of the chief who sits before us, Of the forests and the rivers: Many men acclaim her talents, fall her artist with obeisance: We are proud of having known her This great painter from our council. .lacobf - Dot will lead men onward To new heights which they've long hoped for On to truth and on to glory, Give them faith and give them courage, Give them things they've never dreamed of: She was such a good chief to us, She will be a chief to all men, She will lead and men will follow, Follow blindly where she leadeth, lfaithful since she shows such wisdom. Peg La Fontaine brings us pageants With her music and her acting, With her voice so low and thrillingg lt is hard to tell between them Which her speech and which her playing: Though it really does not matter, For she does create much beauty, .Xnd we know that this suffices. Babe Lanoue will no doubt shudder When she hears this appellation, Now she is upon a mission Bringing news to all the nations l rom our big chief and his helpers: She makes treaties we have hoped for, Brings us things to make us better: She has really helped our country. Sigrid Lobdell far will journey, Leave behind her those who envy, For in Norway, as she's told us, She'll find things that she now covetsg She will settle in that strange land, Settle there and be so happy Far from us but with her people, In that land of cold and sunshine. Al McGrath we'll see quite often In a tepee where folks gather: They'll eat slowly while they chatter Of the world and of their neighbors, 43 It is she who makes them happy, With a smile she finds them places, Falls them by their names politely, Makes them feel they are important: For as hostess she is perfect, Truly a delightful hostess. C. McCormick will amuse us, Since we'll find her quoted often: Yes, her wise and witty sayings Will bring mirth to those who read them Even while they are inspiring .lust the thoughts that she had hoped forg For she'll spur men on to glory ivhile she makes them laugh at others. Betty Neyland far will travel Till at last she reaches Russia: She will be quite communistic, And if there should be a famine She will share her food with neighbors, Just as did her predecessors: She will teach them to be thrifty So they'll be a healthy people, And for this they will acclaim her, Make her leader of their people, Proud will be her rank among them,- Being their first woman chieftain. Flo Peltier - the entertainer - Thus will read the signs about us: We shall hear of her fine dancing, Of her rhythm and her beauty, Of the steps she has invented, Telling stories of the ages,f History in Dance she calls itg This alone will make her famous. Bertha Ray, the great composer, Gives much music to her tribesmen, Music that will soothe and comfort, Music with great moods and fancies, Greater even than Debussy. This wee miss other talents, And if lyrics too attract you She will write them with great fervor, They may rumble like the thunder, Ur perhaps they'll tinkle softlyg Anyway her words and music Will live on forever lasting. 44 C. Rokita with her science Will astound those who surround her, Making cloth from almost nothing, Making food surpassing nature'sg She will make us self-sufficient, Une great tribe and all its people She'll make happy with her efforts, A nd K' V .iiid How How How How they'll call her Queen of Science. anDam will be a model, she'll show the Junior Leaguers to wear their gowns of fashion, to perch their hats correctly, to choose their tiny slippers, to don their lacey gauntletsg Of them all she'll be the envy,- She who is so chic and stylish. Leone Gould will start a bus line, So the transportation problem Of the girls who want to travel From this campfire to another May at least be made more easy, Oh, how many girls will praise her, Since they will not need to hurry, For her bus will wait right near here, Since she knows what she is doing. Mary Lalor, sweet and winsome, Makes so many lives seem brighter, For she goes to many houses, Bringing joy where'er she enters: With her smile she charms the millions Making friends where others failed to, Making friends of all the people: She will teach them, she will help them So this is our last prediction, As we slowly watch our fire We have built here die so surely. All we hope is - with our passing We'll perhaps be mourned a little, Hope we shall attain new summits, For it was around this campfire That we first learned how to reach them A n d we'll not forget while rising That we had these small beginnings.

Thus they reached this llouse of Learning and assembled within the good wigwam, Taconic. At the first great council-fire they received the salutations and adnionitions ot' Big Chief Bowman: with him they smoked the peace-pipe ot' good-will, The sign ot' friendship they received from all the chiefs and sachenis, f f the chief ot' all-good-linglish, the chief ot' all- that's-past, the medicine-man ot' nature, the keeper of the books, the guardian ot' well-being, the maker ot' the song, the lll2lSt?l'-l'l'lCIlll of the rainbow, the witch-doctors ol' the mind. But the initiates were pounced upon by the budding warriors who had been sprouting for twelve moons. The young ones were stripped of their paint and make-up: their sr-alps renioved with orange skull-caps. This and other huniiliatious they endured with stoicism up until the feast- day of Thanksgiving. However, on the eve of the day ol' saints the striplings invoked the spirits of ghosts and goblins, filled dark ways with webs and witches, and provided a merry pow-wow for the whole tribe. By the time of the season ol' Merry Giving, big sister tribeswomen and little sister tribes- women, - not to mention three little brother tribesmen, f were united as one: then were thcrc pleasant doings, songs and feasting, laughter and gittgiving at the wigwani, by the council-tire. ln the midst of winter, with common fortitude, the whole tribe ran the examination gamut, the happy outcome of which was celebrated, at the coming of the robin, by a ceremonial dance fostered by the young braves. All the while, the tribe was increasing its wampuni of knowledge with sparkling beads ot' learning. And when the Great Spirit sent the rays ot' flaming sun in a great rush upon the earth. the plucky young braves stuck a feather in their bonnets, 4 proud to be established as full- fledged members of the House of Learning in the Berkshires.

Plans for another winter carnival were dissolved when the necessary snow failed to appear, and only the rhythm of Helen Gravelle's orchestra a few weeks later could soothe our wounded spirits. Each sport held enthusiastic sway over the portion of the year it called its own. lntcr-class games, hiking. and ladder tournaments accounted for our leisure tinic. Play Day and May Day joined hands for a colorful display in the late spring.

Every two weeks during the year this group met, listened critically to the cure- fully prepared topics of several members, :ind discussed various points with vehem- ence.

Keats, Swinburne, Lindsay! Sonnets, free verse, parodies. So on and on they read aloud. discuss, or just enjoy. Occasionally this avid and rather distant group appears in public with a bit of choral speaking but more frequently it remains hidden from all save the chosen few, its members. It has been rumored too that a few suc- cessful stabs at original verse have been made and that potential poets are in our midst. Although the year has now closed, volumes of poetry protrude from suitcases and bags, mute evidence that the love and appreciation of poetry has deepened through the influence ol' the club and its valuable, enjoyable experience. 60 The Photography Club l,l'l'SilII llf .... . . .Stunlvy flrznlzic-l llil'0-Pl'l'SilIl'Ill. , . . . , Mary fonnors ,IlI'1'!ISllI'l'l' .... .... 1 lcrnlul fllCill'j' OMETHING new in thv line ol' cluhs was instituted this year, rcprcscntaxtivc of the Vital interest we ll2l,VC in pic-torizml urt s :1 l'l1otogruipliy Vluh.
