MASS i - n r%w r % f?i- III Am Mount Tekoa. For ages uncountable I have been the silent guardian of Westfield and its river valley. From the Bible was I christened. From my rugged summit the eyes of Indian chieftains scanned the surrounding lowlands. I have stood unchangeable while wild animal creatures and untamed human life roamed up and down my valley. Sternly I watched the invasion of the white man, and my heart could find no love for him. But he conquered impassable obstacles — dense forests gave way to his homelike houses; the red men became his friends; gleaming rails carried him fast across the miles; the power of the river whirled his mill-wheels; delicate wires flashed his invisible message to waiting friends; schools educated his children that they might work more wonders in the ages to come. All this did I see the white man ac- complish in the river valley. Slowly I grew to love the red man ' s white brother be- cause of his mighty brain and creative power. Still I stand, the silent guardian of the valley and the town. Suns rise and set again; flowers blossom and fade away; tides wash in and go out to sea; human life hums and is still; but I — I am steadfast — and in my heart dwells love for the well-being of my valley. I am Mount Tekoa — the silent watcher. He built even Bethlehem, and Etam, and Tekoa. — II Chronicles 11 : 6. And Joab sent to Tekoa and fetched thence a wise woman. — II Samuel 14 : 2.

PHELPS DORA SUHER LAURA G. ZASKEY 32 •■ -s vw rs ■ GRAY mist encircled me as I sat on the mountain top, gazing at the hazy outlines of the hills and valleys below. Gradually, the mist receding revealed familiar figures and landmarks on the mountain side. As I looked reminiscences of the distant years carried me in fancy far, far down the mountain until at its very foot I found again those long forgotten experiences of life at Westfield Normal School. With pleasure I reviewed them all, from our expectant assembly on the morning of September four- teenth, nineteen hundred and twenty-seven, to that sad farewell of June thirteenth, nineteen hundred and twenty-nine. How clearly stands out that morning of September fourteenth ! Then it was that Westfield Normal School added to its fold a most promising group of Juniors. But a sense of location does not necessarily accompany intelligence; and it was only through the kindness of teachers and Seniors that that labyrinth of rooms became finally, a familiar maze. But what we lacked in perception we made up in prolific imagination. The numbers on the blackboard, indicating the pages in the hymnal and responsive reading books, some of us interpreted as arithmetical problems and for three mornings carefully worked out answers that we hoped would betoken some marvellous I.Q ' s . But these answers were never called for, and the mathematical prodigies among us were compelled to remain undiscovered until classroom experiences began. Of course we had no trouble in convincing the faculty that we were differently better from the students they had so often introduced to psychology and school management but the Seniors were harder to persuade. They saw, we think now, that we were no mean rivals and they determined to avail themselves of existing traditions by delaying our progress for a time thereby keeping us in our places. So they compelled us for three long weeks to braid our fashionable bobs into the tiniest of pigtails and to tie them with a twine and shoestrings. But that was not the only humiliation we endured; we were easily identified as Juniors by the one black and one white stocking we were forced to wear and our state of servitude was even more evident when we curtsied to the Seniors at any time or place. But we passed bravely through this ordeal and emerged unscathed. Indeed, there was one distinctly bright spot in those first few weeks when the Seniors laid aside for an evening their high and mighty-ness and gave us a Get- Acquainted party where many a lasting friendship was begun. There, also, we met in a social way the various teachers some of whom we had already come to know as competent and willing friends ready to guide us up the mountain we had chosen to ascend. .J. ■w J... 1 t TWy ' V T = By the beginning of October our bobs were again unbraided and our legs were more fittingly clad. We had begun in earnest our slow, painstaking, but happy mountain climb. Pleasant parties, skilled leadership, and visions of azure heights all helped us ad- vance bravely and steadily. Before we could realize it, we had left the old year behind a nd had reached the milestone, nineteen hundred and twenty-eight. A few months later, in the spring, we came upon a group of campers from the upper mountain who had come down for a picnic. Strangers we thought them at first, yet they welcomed us enthusiastically for they had climbed the mountain by exactly the path we had chosen and had come back for a visit to that spot. Vesper Sunday and the graduation of the Seniors brought us still farther up the trail. They were, for us, turning points on the way, for we -were allowed a fleeting glimpse of what the top of the trail was like. The Seniors had gained the summit and were now ready to go out into the world. Then it was that for two short months we bade farewell to classmates and friends. However, we were happily reunited in the fall to continue our upward climb. As Seniors, it was our duty to help the Freshmen adjust themselves to their new environ- ment. We became the guides of those who were to follow and the followers of those who had already reached the top. Though we had not reached the goal of our ambitions, we were given the opportunity to experience the responsibilities that were to be ours when we had left the school and had gone forth as teachers. It was at the Training School that such a privilege was granted us. Because of this fleeting glimpse into the future, we were even more eager to gain the top in triumph and, through necessity, our library was moved to larger quarters where the many needs of all were more easily accommodated . Weeks passed swiftly, months rolled by. The next outstanding event of the year was the Senior Prom which was evidence of our creative imagination, in the form of a futuristic hop. This proved to be most attractive and enjoyable for everyone. Another prominent land-mark was the advent of the foreign students from Colum- bia University. We greatly appreciated the honor they conferred upon us by their visit to the Westfield Normal School. Such events brought us near the end of our journey which we were most desirous to make successful. The path was travelled with purpose- ful care, and leaving behind work and social affairs, we found ourselves a short distance from the top — Vesper Sunday — a day of meditation and thanksgiving. Then, only a few more paces and we were at the top of the trail. Holding our symbolic diplomas, we stood looking for a moment down into the valley. Where were those steep jagged rocks which had presented such formidable obstacles to our dreary feet? The frowning shadows of overhanging ridges were now washed in sparkling sunlight. Ah! it had been a joyous climb. The well worn path gave mute evidence of the conflicting emotions which had had their way. Joy and sorrow, hope and despair, these were but a few of the materials which now saw completion in stronger, finer characters than those whose faltering, erring feet had begun the climb. Before us, through clear unafraid eyes we saw the world. Among the myriads of paths which marked the various professions we saw ours — teachers of mankind. With courage high, we flung our banners to the winds. Catching the rippling folds, it tossed them high above the mountain-top where, gleaming in the sunlight, they displayed to the watching world, the undying spirit of Westfield Normal School — mightiest and greatest — Class of 1929. Rose Killeen Ursula Coughlin ■i 34 7-.. icr w w E, who have attained the summit of our Mountain, have accumulated in our climb upwards a vast wealth of possessions which we bequeath to succeeding gen- erations of Westfield normalites in the never ending effort to scale the height. In this our last Will and Testament, we the Class of 1929 leave to one and all our good will and the inspiration of our glorious example. Specifically, we leave — Article I — To Dr. Russell, our promise to organize and establish an orchestra ex- clusively for Westfield Normal School, to discourse sweet music and harmony for the grand marches and stately proms along the mountain trail. Article II — To Miss Fickett, our sincere hope that some day, there may come to this institution of learning, a class that has acquired that very necessary accomplishment, namely, the ability to study efficiently all signs along the route. Article III — To Mrs. Winslow, a model conveyance, the purpose of which is to facilitate rapid transit from the room of one expiring trainer to the room of an aspiring ' ' trainer. Article IV — To Mr. Patterson, a guaranteed steel constructed table large enough and strong enough to hold all materials laid on the table for the next stages of the journey. Article V — To Miss Tobey, a collapsible yardstick to be kept up her sleeve ready for immediate use in discouraging any babyish tendencies to play with pegs or blocks along the traveled highway. Article VI — To Miss Lammers, we leave an inclosed aerial railway to quicken and make more comfortable the transport of future normalites in passing from the locker room to the gymnasium. Article VII — To Dr. Wilson, an announcement from the compilers of the New Webster ' s Dictionary to the effect that space has been reserved in the main word list authorizing the use of that unique pronunciation, namely blahzumm. 35 }■■■ Article VIII — To Miss Snow, we leave a sufficient supply of magic art boxes, for all students from which no ruler, scissors, or other such articles, necessary for artistic expression, can possibly escape. Article. IX — To Miss Zerbe and Miss St. Claire, that folksey atmosphere of the Commuter ' s dining room and kitchen, with all their modern conveniences, which enable weary pilgrims to gain sustenance. Article X — To Miss Pratt, our appreciation of the novel and unassuming way of announcing the voluminous semester exam with the naive statement, It ' s just a little quiz. Article XI — To Miss Abrams, Miss Fickett ' s pamphlet Facial Expressions as Guides to Discovering the Truth, to render less perplexing the task of bestowing the little yellow and white tickets that enable one to get aboard the cable car ascending the mountain. Article XII — To Mr. Hawley, our heartfelt doubts as to the reliability of the oft- repeated sign-board announcement, Things are bound to straighten themselves out in the Training School. Article XIII — To the Faculty of the Training School, our most sincere wish that future trainers will tax their patience as little (?) as we did, during our brief stop to enjoy their hospitality. To the members of the infant, struggling, far distant Class of 1931, to help them on their way : Article XIV — Mary Holmes bequeaths to Irene HoflF her never failing calm in such crucial moments as the discovery of one errant wanderer talking in the study hall. Article XV — Mary Kavanagh bequeaths to Helen Labrovitz her secret, ' ' How to do seven things at once. Article XVI — Charlotte Menzel leaves to Marion Pomeroy her ability to act as spokesman for her class. Article XVII — Julia Brady leaves to Peggy Hayes her ability for mischief- making in that innocent way. Article XVIII — To the Freshman Class, we bequeath also — Our ability to take constructive criticisms good naturedly. Our ability to pass on work as to happenings in a preceding class. Our best wishes for a successful and happy ascent. Witnesses: The Class of 1929 Kathleen Barry Charlotte Menzel Nellie Kosiba ■i 36 h crw vto ' N my retreat, away up here in the solitude of the mountains, I remove the silken cloth covering my priceless crystal, and, at your request, I penetrate the ensuing decade to discover what our classmates are doing in 1939. A few magic passes, and the crystal shows a fashionable Fifth Avenue shop, The Valerie, the proprietress of which is Sarah Cohen. Parading before the wives of million- aires are Peg Kavanaugh, Lib Mahan, and Mary Kennedy, who make attractive models in their exquisite gowns. The very convincing saleslady is Janet Bitensky, who, just now, is trying to sell Margaret Walsh an evening gown. Marg must have for- saken our noble profession in favor of the fortune of that wealthy copper magnate who accompanies her. The crystal clouds, clears, and reveals the stage of the Leedo Theatre on Broadway. The owner, Ursula Coughlin, presents an attractive program. Catherine Galpin and Kathleen Barry receive a tremendous applause for their rendition of Sympathy. Helen Henderson entertains with saxophone solos and receives three curtain calls. Ruth Martin, world renowned comedian, captivates the audience with song and dance. The Rio Lita Girls, Mary Holmes, Carolyn and Gladys Barber, and Louise Ferriter give a beautiful interpretation of the ' ' Dance of Flames. The Agile Acrobats, Alice Stahelski, Wanda Schultz, and Mary Rosoff, appear in a breath taking performance. Irene Noble, America ' s celebrated ballet dancer, holds the audience in fascination until the curtain is lowered. The crystal shows another theatre in New York, the Salona, which is managed by Mary Kavanagh. To-night, she presents the dramatization of The Revenger, that startling novel by Rose Killeen, which was a best seller in 1938. Anne Carrigan plays the leading role with versatility and charm. A glimpse into the audience reveals the famous theatrical critics, Mae Wyman, Olga Snyder and Adelaide Wall. Just off Broadway, I see the Robin Hood, where Charlotte Menzel instructs students of archery. Alice Flavin, her able business manager, has just returned from a lecturing tour. A scene in Greenwich Village, shows Ingle Nook, Lena Yarmitsky ' s attractive tea room. Marian Lusk, a successful window decorator, Helen Januszewski, a famous illustrator, and Nellie Roseman, the leading artist in the school of modern art, are among her many patrons. 37 ■ ■ (TW W - ■ ■ ■■■■ The crystal next shows the pier from which Agnes Dunn, Louise Clark, Julia Brady, and Catherine Maher, are sailing on the Leviathan to participate in the Olympic Games at Rome. On an incoming boat are Jean Carman and Elsie Carlson, fashion authorities, returning from Paris and Marguerite Browne, winner of the international tennis tour- nament. At the Roosevelt Aviation Field, I see Victoria Suk and Alice Gaffney making preparation for their skywriting, A Line with a Laugh, which they do every night over New York City. A big crowd is gathered at the left to welcome Josephine LaBroad, who has just completed her third solo flight across the Atlantic. Who is going up in that silver plane over there? Why, it ' s Gertie Fitzgerald, a favorite of the 1939 Follies, flying a new model as an advertising feat. The crystal displays a Chicago bound pullman, with Katherine Maclntyre, Eleanor Mullen, Mary Connery, and Gladys Chalian as the attractive conductors. They allow Mary Shea, Edith Norton, and Dorothy Long to play cards with the unsuspecting wealthy business men. The fortunes that they win will enable all to retire soon. Hollywood is the next scene. Here, I see Vera Lynch, the shining constellation of the singing pictures, who is starring in Sweet Songster, and Mary Walsh, who plays the leading role in Listen to Me. I wonder who owns that yellow and blue home overlooking the sea. Why, Nellie Kosiba and Hermina Sitnik, both favorites of the screen. Mabel Holt is here too, but not in the movies, for she is content with teaching the little stars in a neat adobe schoolhouse. The crystal proves that others have pursued the profession of teaching. At Shadow Glade on-the-Hudson, a new normal school, Margaret Tait is the pretty principal; Doris Baker teaches psychology; Kathleen Sullivan, arithmetic; Marguerite Coyle, penmanship; and Katherine Sotirion, history. Ruth Cassidy and Rose Gilmartin are principals of modern grammar schools in Springfield. An auditorium in Boston is the scene of a Girl Scout convention, with Dorothy Shea as chairman. Iris Auld and Dorothy Connor are her capable aids. The girls are welcomed to the city by Thelma Carty, a leading banker of the Hub. In the studio of WBZ, now transmitting television programs, Edith MacBrian is the very popular prima donna. Each evening, Frances McGuire presents an entertain- ment for the kiddies, but her fan mail comes from big kiddies too. Mary Cuff, at the Steinway, plays, sings, and smiles for an appreciative audience. Victoria Cyran and Lorraine Ross give a television course in tennis playing. Amy Boyle, a picture of radiant health, gives a series of lectures on Health and How to Have It. In Hartford, Gertrude Rathbun and Lauretta Paige are successful lawyers. Wanda Marciniec, an interior decorator of nationwide fame, is trying to induce them to have their office redone in pale blue and cream. Across the street, Elsie Smart has an insurance office patronized especially by young men, more interested in the attractive young broker, than in receiving policies. Doris Stedman, Nellie Stone, and Eleanor Gillett, who have just retired from teaching, are boarding a western bound train for Montana, where, assisted by several handsome cowboys, they will run Tarry-awhile-Ranch. It was in favor of this occupation that Doris declined a position as social editor of the New York Daily, Nothing but the Truth, edited by Elizabeth Schulze. Before boarding the train, they buy a copy of the evening edition and read the facts about the elopement of Dorothy Cook, whose name was in the headlines of the morning papers for eloping with a pauper patient of the Bowling Hospital, at which she was a nurse. Thelma Macdougall, Elizabeth ' s brilliant newspaper detective, discovers that Rollando is a millionaire, so the truth is presented according to the ideals of the paper. ...3. ?.q j.... . = r W%W : = At the sunny beach, Anne Mueller and Evelyn Wolfson run Seacrest, a popular summer resort for the very rich. Madeline Sears assists in keeping the children happy. Ida Odabashian, whose book, A Little Girl in a Big City, has placed her name in Who ' s Who for 1939, is residing at Newport. Mary Finnerty, wife of a wealthy M. A. C. graduate, is visiting her. At the Marvelle in Woronoco, Edna Burke, Eileen Burke, and Jean Connor teach dancing to youths aspiring to attend proms at the Normal School. The crystal reveals a scene in Paris, where Florence Burati and Mae Murphy, famous costume designers, are gathering material for the fashions of 1940. Phyllis Brearley, the most elaborately gowned actress in America, is here, too, purchasing her fall cos- tumes. Some tourists, Mary Blake, Grace Harland, Mary Marciniec, Esther Pecoraro, Avelina Renaud, and Helen Sarad, having taught successfully for ten years, are out to see the world. At the Louvre, they discover Cecilia Morytko ' s portrait of Barbara Mills, famous author of Twenty Thousand Leagues to Mars, a romance of 2439. Thus the future of our classmates is revealed to me. I prepare to cover the crystal, when there occurs within a flashing of color. Suddenly, in blue and gray appear the words, Success and happiness for the Class of 1929.

A committee of normal school principals consisting of Principal Aspinwall of Worcester, Principal Reed of Lowell, and Principal Russell of Westfield, was appointed to establish a curriculum for the proposed course. In Lowell and Westfield, in Sep- tember, 1928, the former two year course was abandoned and the three year course substituted. Beginning September, 1929, the three year course will be substituted for the two year course at Salem and Worcester. The two year course in the remaining four schools will probably be discontinued within the next two years so that by 1931 stu- dents will begin graduating. The reason for changing over gradually from the two to the three year course is to insure a sufficient supply of graduates to meet the demand until the three year course is fully established. With the graduation of the last two year class in Westfield this June, there will be no graduation at Westfield until June, 1931. It is not the purpose of the State Department of Education to increase the capacity or enlarge the faculty of any school. Therefore, in beginning the three year course, two- thirds of the former enteri ng group will be admitted, which will make Westfield, for instance, the same size under the three year plan as under the two year plan. The curriculum is being remodeled and a series of faculty committees of the various state normal schools are now working on a reconstruction of the various courses to be offered. The committee on arithmetic, of which Miss Martha Tobey is chairman, met at Westfield February 15th and 16th for the purpose of beginning this work and had meet with it all of the teachers of mathematics in all of the state normal schools in Massachusetts. I THE INTER-NORMAL SCHOOL DEBATE N January the Normal School Debating Council held its first meeting at Fitchburg, to which Bridgewater and Westfield sent delegates. Charlotte Menzel was sent to represent Westfield. As a result of the conference, a triangular debate was arranged be- tween the three schools, on the question: Resolved, That in the teaching profession there should be equal pay for equal service. On March 22, 1929, the affirmative team, comprised of Elizabeth O ' Masta, Elsie Carlson, and Margaret Hayes, as alternate, went to Fitchburg, where they de- feated the opposing team. The same night, at home, Victoria Suk, Mae Wyman, and Alice Flavin, as alternate, constituting the negative team, won over Bridgewater ' s affirmative team. Thus, we were the victors, with a score of five points. { 40 } = r w yw r SH OUR SOJOURN ON A MOUNTAIN will lift up mine eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my help. Since early biblical times this theme has expressed the faith of the people, for mountains to them ■were as sanctuaries or shrines from which God kept all dull, worldly toil, so that they might be a refuge in times of adversity and a solitude for meditation and prayer. Is there no significance in the fact that Christ, when his cup was filled to overflowing, took his weary way to the Mount of Olives, there to pray, Thy will be done? Today, people have similar sentimznts regarding mountains. They think of them as havens of rest and as worlds apart from cities and towns, where momentous prob- lems may be solved and strength gathered for the next day ' s work. With our faint hearts does not the mountain strive? To us of 1929 has been granted a sojourn on a mountain. Two years have we spent on a lofty summit away from the sordidness of life. Our Commencement will mark the end of days and nights under clear skies. We have built our tabernacles, but, just as the Master and His disciples returned to the valley, we too must mingle with the rushing tide of life. May we be steadfast through the long tasks that await us; and may those with whom we serve see reflected in our faces the glory of our transfiguration. Charlotte Menzel SHEPHERDS OF THE MOUNTAINS HEN that great, impenetrable accumulation of ice and snow, the Glacier, made its destructive way over this vast expanse of territory, it created a series of broad, open plains, lofty mountains, and correspondingly deep valleys. The plains and the valleys have ever been the scenes of man ' s daily toil; but throughout succeeding ages man, man ' s children, and his children ' s children have found new and endless ex- periences in the vast solitudes. Shepherds of yore passed much of their time on the ..X A J... r , v ! w r7 = mountain sides, guiding their flocks in search of a livelihood. With the rod and the staff, they led their sheep through green pastures, by the still, cool waters. The shep- herds loved their sheep, and the sheep loved them. In these days there are other shepherds than those of olden times, and they lead their sheep over other mountains. Such are the genuine teachers. With the rod of wisdom and the staff of compassion, they guide their flocks of boys and girls through sunny pastures. Under their skillful leadership, the groups are organized into units, and all move forward happily. At times, all travel together far and safely. But inevitably come more difficult experiences. Some poor member of the flock, worn, or weary, or discouraged, will require assistance in avoiding an abyss, in crossing a chasm, or in passing through some narrow defile. Nor can the teacher ever, for a moment, relax her vigilance. There is constant need for her help and her sympathy. The true teacher is forever leading her children in the long, steady climb up the mountain of achievement. She helps them to appreciate the many beauties of the familiar scenes they have left behind; and with her joyful enthusiasm she arouses a lively interest in present surroundings, calling attention to the spreading oak, the fragrant flowers, and the caroling birds. But the greatest service of all she performs when she reveals the beauties that lie not on the surface, ' ' the tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything. So she creates in her children a spirit that can do naught but accept the challenge of the unknown sum- mit, and a feeling that no abiding satisfaction can be theirs until they reach the moun- tain top, where they behold the world as one vast plain and one boundless reach of sk y- Doris Baker W A FICKLE YOVNQ LADY Miss April is a fickle miss Who cannot be depended on, Her smile fills every one with bliss, And makes her sweet to look upon. When out a walking she is seen, Her frocks are always very gay; Her hat is blue, her shoes are green, And around her lips a smile does play. But when she cannot have her way, How very quickly she does change; That smile soon fades, frown wins the day With her, and all within her range. She cries and cries the whole day long, Just like a very naighty girl; She ' s like the child in that old song, The one who had that little curl. Miss April is a fickle miss Who cannot be depended on; Her smile fills every one with bliss, We ' re always glad when she has it on. Marguerite Coyle ,.i, 4? J... crvw w ; MOVNTAINS O fairest mountains, whose dreaming slopes new symbols lift to herald the coming of the Spring, O blue — green mountains, among whose secret wooded nooks the silvery ribbon of the mountain streamlet winds thru a pageantry of green and gold, O gentle mountains, to whom every living creature with the joy and happiness of Life begins to sing, O beautiful mountains, renewing within our hearts the hope of Life eternal which God gave to you of old. Ever shall I love you! With the wild haunting fragments of birdsong filling the soft Spring air, And the delicately fragrant perfume which the wild flowers are shedding there, And the gleaming gold crown of sunshine the mountain wears in her hair, O beautiful mountains of Springtime in your happiness may I share? O lovely mountains, enveiled in the diamond studded, misty cloak of dawn, O glorious mountains, bathed in summer ' s purest sunlight, O stately mountains, above whose peaks the billowing pearl-white clouds rest when from Heaven they ' ve gone, O mystic mountains, silhouetted against the jeweled curtain of the twilight. Ever shall I love you! With fragrant winds of summer ' s day softly sighing thru your trees in musical symphony, And sweet, fragile flowers shyly clasped upon your noble breast, And happy birdlings that in your sheltered branches rest, O stately, sylvan summer mountain, I think. I love you best! O care-free mountains, awakened by the piping of the gipsy Autumn lass, O magic mountains, painted by Autumn ' s gayest artists with brilliant colors as they pass, O sympathetic mountains, that catch the echoes of Autumn ' s silvery laughter and give them to the streams dancing down the mountainside here and there, O lofty mountains, beyond whose crests streaming files of wild geese wing their way high up in the air, Ever shall I love you! With all your trees arrayed for Autumn ' s colorful fashion show, And the rocky paths of the whole mountainside reflecting the beauty of Autumn ' s glow, And the fading charm of the frost-touched flowers that only a lover of Nature can know, O bewitching, charming Autumn mountains. Ever shall I love you! O majestic mountains, whose daring peaks are capped with rifts of sparkling snow, O mighty mountains, towering and lifted to the sky, O noble mountains, ever-watching, ever-guarding, sublime sentinels over all the earth below, O infinite mountains, rich with Divinity, whose soul is veiled in unfathomable mystery, Ever shall I love you! With your gray slopes seeming sometimes shadowed with Winter ' s amethystine haze, And graceful pines arching inky branches in perfect symmetry against the purple gray, And the great phantom shadows that across the mountain summits play, O immortal Winter mountains, Ever shall I love you!

To offset this disaster, certain ac- tivities outside the customary recreation have been inaugurated at Dickinson Hall. Under the capable direction of our Social Chairman, these affairs have been carried out with unquestionable success. Because of the three-year course, the number of entrants was limited more closely than in preceding years. This fact is advantageous in that all residing students are housed in one dormitory. More homogeneous contacts between students and classes have thus been brought about, so that now as perhaps never before, there is the feeling that Dickinson Hall is the home of one large family with Mrs. Loker, our beloved matron, at its head. How delightful were the initial days of acquaintance with our little sister class. Our advances were well met and in a comparatively short time a marked fusion of classes was noted. Time now for the Senior-Freshman party. What could be more informal or ap- propriate than a kid ' s party. With the letting down of pig-tails and the donning of short dresses, all class distinction was dissolved into gay, joyous fun-making. However, before we could feel that the first-year class was really a part of the school, it was necessary for them to acquaint themselves credibly during a period of initiation. Luckily for the frosh much grave consideration was given to suggestions and as a result, chic green and white caps defined sharply the two classes. The accom- panying curtsey, made very prettily to the passing Seniors, kept the younger class in good physical trim. The faculty were but poorly acquainted with the Class of ' 28, and for that reason, our matron gave a delightful Thanksgiving dinner. Never had the faculty been seen in such a charming light. Proud Seniors acted as hostesses, and after dinner, guests and students repaired to the parlor to be entertained by an informal program. The time between Thanksgiving and Christmas sped by on dancing feet. A holiday spirit pervaded the campus which found culmination in two happy events, caroling and the Christmas dinner. Both have been traditions in the school for some time, and each gains sweet significance as the years see its re-enactment. With practically one hundred percent attendance, Dickinson Hall turned out on the last night to sing carols. Presentation of gifts was made by the girls to those individuals who will always claim an enviable place in our hearts — Dr. and Mrs. Russell and Mrs. Loker. We then went about singing our songs with the hope that from them might emanate some of the exquisite joy which we were experiencing. Tired but happy, we came back to Dickinson Hall where we spent the remainder of the evening before the fire. Who can ever forget Vera ' s exquisite rendition of Mother-mine, or Ruth ' s funny, jolly kazoo ? Misty eyes from the one and gay laughter from the other. Everyone did her bit to make the evening memorable. Then the dinner! Does anyone ever plan such delicious menus as does Mrs. Loker? What delightful things she could teach Mother Hubbard. Everyone ate long and merrily amid the gayest of Christmas cheer. Only the briefest resume can find room in the small space allotted to us, but clearer and deeper than the inscription of pen and ink of Dickinson Hall Activities are those which every girl will carry with her when she leaves this spot which has become so dear to her. : „.JC 4Q J.... -cr vw ' vyyr T. STUDENT COUNCIL HE first Student Council was organized four years ago, and proved itself to be a worthy organization of Westfield Normal School. Since then, succeeding Councils have made every effort to act as wisely for the welfare of the school. This year ' s Council has continued in fulfilling the purposes and perpetuating the ideals established. It has successfully solved all problems which confronted our school. A period has been set aside each week for student mass meetings. These periods have been used for general discussions of matters pertaining to the school. The introduction of the three year course necessitates certain changes in student government. The Council, at its weekly meetings, has attempted a plan for future Councils and made certain changes. Amendments have been added to the constitution which will, in all probability, be put into effect this coming school year. Perhaps the biggest social affair of the year was the Student Council prom in April. This prom was the only strictly formal affair of the year, and proved to be a great suc- cess. The Assembly Hall was beautifully decorated, the entire effect being that of a rose garden. The guests were received by Dr. and Mrs. Russell and the members of the Student Council. Dr. Russell and Mary Holmes led the grand march. Throughout the year, the Council has had the support and cooperation of the faculty and the student body. The Council has guided and directed the body which it represents, through a happy sojourn on the mountain. To all future Councils we sincerely wish the greatest success. 49 =crvMyr ytf rs= STUDENT COUNCIL i 9 z 9 President of the Council — Mary Holmes President of the Senior Class — Mary Kavanagh President of the Freshman Class — Irene Hoff Chairman of the Social Committee — Elizabeth Mahan Chairman of the Recreational Committee — Helen Labrovitz School Treasurer — Lauretta Paige President of Commuters ' Club — Kathleen Barry Representative from House Committee — Vera Lynch 50 =(pv w = THE HOUSE COMMITTEE IufOVERNMENT at Dickinson Hall operates through the concerted activities of a group of girls known as the House Committee. Because of the splendid cooperation of all resident students, and the helpful advice of our matron and Dr. Russell, this committee has been successful in fulfilling its various duties. These duties are executive in nature and consist of the maintenance of order in the dormitory and the enforcement of rules. This committee, chosen by the students themselves, endeavors to represent their best interests. Twice each year a new committee is installed. The ceremony, at which all mem- bers of Dickinson Hall are present, is worthy of mention. Let us imagine one of these installations. In the candle-lit room are the dormitory girls. Before them in a semi-circle sit the members of the old House Committee who are about to relinquish their honored places to the incoming members. On a table, between two white candles, is a bowl of white roses, one of which is given as a token of appreciation to each departing girl. Soon, the pianist plays a march, and to its strains the new House Committee enters the room. Solemnly and with great dignity each member promises to promote and uphold student government in Dickinson Hall. It is a serious charge and each girl feels proud to realize the honor which is bestowed upon her. At the conclusion of the induction, Dr. Russell addresses the girls. Following this the girls sing their Dickinson Hall song. The new House Committee is presented formally to the matron, assistant matron, and Dr. Russell. The effect of the installation is inspirational, for it imbues the girls with a feeling of determination to prove their love and fidelity for Dickinson Hall. ; pErtF ! normal school Afield, ..i i J-.. = TWy Vtf r?r Lauretta Paige Business Manager Mary Kavanagh Squib Editor Helen Januszewski Art Editor Margaret Tait Snap-shot Editor Catherine Maher Athletic Editor TEKOA STAFF Elizabeth Schulze Editor-in-chief Gertrude Rathbun Assistant Editor-in-chief Anne Carrigan Advertising Editor Mary Cuff Social Editor Ruth Martin Joke Editor Elizabeth Mahan Photo Editor Gwendolyn Morgan Freshmen Member crvY ff vM j SOCIAL ACTIVITIES Or N September 14, 1927, the Class of 1929 became members of the Westfield Normal School. September 21, 1927 — The Get Acquainted Party — Each Senior escorted a Junior and introduced her to the faculty. Both Juniors and Seniors cooperated to make the affair a success.

The Delta Omicron Alpha presented A Bird ' s Christmas Carol. January 7, 1928 — The Senior Prom. The Seniors gave a delightful prom in the Assembly Hall which was decorated to represent a winter carnival. During intermis- sion the dancers were entertained by the snow fairies. February 17, 1928 — The Valentine Dance. In order to raise money to furnish the Student Council room, a dance was held instead of a Valentine party. This was a new feature in social activities since it was the first dance, aside from the three proms, at- tended by gentlemen. June 9, 1928 — The Junior Prom. A sport dance was given by the Class of 1929 in honor of the Seniors. The hall was decorated to represent a Japanese fete. During inter- mission three little Japanese girls entertained with a novelty dance. June 14, 1928 — Graduation Day. Farewell to the Class of 1928, whose friendship and kindly help we appreciated. September 20, 1928 — The Get Acquainted Party. The Get Acquainted Party was held in the Assembly Hall, each Senior taking a Freshman. Both Freshman and Senior talent was shown in the entertainment. October 31, 1928 — The Halloween Party. The Annual Halloween party marks this date. A ghost march through the upper halls aroused cries of horror from all. The Delta Omicron Alpha presented When Witches Ride. November 23, 1928 — The Thanksgiving Dance. Another step in the progress of social activities! The W. A. A., to raise money for the year ' s expenses, held a dance to which gentlemen were invited. December 18, 1928 — The Christmas Party. Again both Seniors and Freshmen went back to childhood. After the gifts were distributed, the Delta Omicron Alpha presented When Mimi Lights Her Candle. January 19, 1929 — The Senior Prom. The Seniors gave a delightful prom in the Assembly Hall. Modernistic art dominated the decorations which were in blue and gray, the class colors. During intermission entertainment was afforded by a group of the girls who gave a novelty dance. April 20, 1929 — The Student Council Prom. At the most formal occasion of the year, the Student Council prom, we enjoyed dancing in the beautiful garden of roses. June 9, 1929 — Vesper Sunday — the most beautiful and impressive ceremony of the year. The Seniors dressed in dainty pastels and the Freshmen in white, attend on their last Sunday together, a most inspiring address. June 13, 1929 — Graduation Day. The summit of the mountain attained at last! With the chorus of our last song together ringing in our ears, we bid Farewell to dear Westfield Normal School. We are ready now to return to the valleys to serve mankind. ■•■£ Dt f- crvy w THE ART CLUB ITH its efficient advisers, Miss Snow and Miss Zerbe, the Art Club has com- pleted another successful year. The club elected the following officers : president, Marian Lusk ' 29; vice-president, Gwendolyn Morgan ' 31; secretary, Helen Labrovitz ' 31; treasurer, Mary Shea ' 29. The annual Art Club sale, held in the social room before Christmas, indicated the outstanding ability and skill of its members. Articles made for this sale included leather goods, hand painted cards, parchment lamp shades, novelty boxes, and woven bags. The club bought jewelry which was also on sale. The proceeds of this sale will be used to buy materials for work in the club. We all wish the Art Club much success in its future undertakings. ■■{ 55 •• = rv « v = „.i fi j... = TW V Tr COMMUTERS ' CLUB C3INCE 1926, when the Commuters ' Club was first organized, the club has pro- gressed rapidly.

At the beginning of each school year, opportunity is offered for those interested to try out for the club. Because the membership is limited, the girls are chosen according to their vocal talent. It has been the custom of the club to present an entertainment in the form of an operetta, to which the students and public are invited. A new program was success- fully introduced this year. The club holds its meetings every Wednesday afternoon. The club has been success- ful in past years and we leave our heartiest wishes for success in future years. ■i 58 }■■ ? rw r v rs= IN ARCADY HE first part of the revised program was the presentation of In Arcady, an operetta in two acts, under the capable direction of Mr. Edward R. Hawley, Music Instructor and Club Director. The scene of the play is laid on a scientific farm in the village of Arcady. Among the young farmhands is a mysterious young man named Jack Hunter. Jack has made a favorable impression on Prudence, Postmistress of Arcady, and her niece, Jane, who, upon learning that he is a fugitive from justice, volunteers to shield him. The Honor- able James Woodbine, owner of the farm, arrives with a group of attractive young lady clerks and his charming daughter, Virginia. Jack falls in love with Virginia, only to learn from her father that she will marry Riggs, manager of the farm. Jack ' s arrest is delayed by Prudence and the situation is brought to a happy conclusion with the marriages of Prudence and Riggs, Peter and Jane, and the engagement of Jack and Virginia.

This year, 1928-1929, as last year, the club was divided into two sections, the dramatic and the debating. Many delightful readings, plays, and debates were given at the meetings throughout the year. The Delta Omicron Alpha presented plays at the various parties held in the school . At the Halloween party a fantastic short play, When Witches Ride , was given. When Mimi Lights Her Candle delighted the audience at the Christmas party.

This year the position was very efficiently held by Louise Clark. The Current Events Club, meeting every two weeks, aims to acquaint its members with topics of current interest and leads to open discussions of present-day problems. The club was reorganized in October and functioned under the leadership of Iris Auld. On one occasion Mr. Patterson addressed the club on the presidential campaign. Many pleasant evenings have been enjoyed by the members of the Bridge Club which meets every other week, with Ruth Martin as hostess. Worth while prizes are obtained with the weekly dues. The Gym Club, ably conducted by Agnes Dunn, meets every week in the gym- nasium, where the apparatus is utilized to its full extent, by the girls in performing the more difficult gymnastic exercises. Basketball and other games are often played. Much enjoyment and value is derived from the Literary Club, which holds a meeting in the living room every two weeks with Louise Clark as president. The club is divided into three groups, one group entertaining at each meeting. All classes of literature are considered. Reviews of dramas, poems, biographies, novels and books of travel are presented. The programs are not only entertaining but also educative. The purpose of the club, that of stimulating appreciation and love for good literature is successfully realized. The Dickinson Hall clubs, although largely of a social nature, have proved their practical value as a means of furthering mental and physical development. An op- portunity is offered to every girl to join the club in which she is most vitally interested. Judging from the pleasure derived, the clubs have had a successful year.

At its first meeting in September, Miss Lammers, Director of Physical Education, and the officers of the association spoke to the entire school on the activities, purposes, and importance of the W. A. A. There are two purposes of this organization : to cooperate with the department of Physical Education in promoting a high physical efficiency among all girls of the normal school; to stimulate a permanent interest and to establish the habit of partici- pation in physical recreation. This year the officers of the organization were: Louise Clark, president; Marion Pomeroy, vice-president; Helen Henderson, treasurer; and Thelma Alley, secretary. All sports in the school, such as hockey, basketball, soccer, swimming, and baseball, come under the supervision of the W. A. A. In connection with these activities there is a point system. For each of these activities, as well as for keeping certain health rules, each individual receives a certain number of points. Emblems are awarded to girls who have earned enough points. A girl having 150 points receives a blue stripe for her gymnasium bloomers; for 375 points she receives a W. A. A. emblem; and for 1500 points an Old English W is awarded. Members of all first teams receive a block W. Besides this individual point system, there is a banner point system. The class re- ceiving the greatest number of points at the end of the year, has its numerals placed on the blue felt banner hanging in our gymnasium. Points for this banner are given for membership, participation in sports, ' and for winning first and second team class games. This year more interest was aroused in W. A. A. by a dance given at Thanksgiving time, to raise sufficient money to pay the expenses of the association. We are proud to be able to say that we have 100 per cent membership. ...X. fid J-... = rv  a- i ' Tfe %. kr- BASKETBALL III ) IRECTLY after the Christmas recess, basketball practice was begun. Both classes were well represented at practice. The Freshman squad was much larger than that of the Seniors, owing to the fact that one division of the latter class was in training. One of the first events was a color tournament, in which three Freshman and two Senior teams competed. These games were well attended. Following the tournament came the inter-class games. The Senior second team defeated the Freshman second team. The first team game was very exciting, ending with a score of 17-15 in favor of the Seniors. In the final game, the Seniors showed their powers, winning the game, 27-15, and thus becoming the champions of 1929. The outcome of last year ' s tournament was in favor of the Class of 1929, with an exceedingly high score for both games. The second team game was won by the Class of 1928. In the volley ball games of 1928, we lost both first team games to ' 28, but won the second team game. = rw ! ywyr FIELD HOCKEY Tf HE history of field hockey in the Normal School is still very young, the year 1928-1929 being but its third season. Participation in this activity has indicated that the class spirit and sportsmanship of this school leave little to be desired. Great enthusiasm on the part of both classes was shown by large attendance at weekly practices. Near the close of the season class teams were selected. At this time the Senior first team enjoyed the privilege of an exchange of practice games with Westfield High School, which will undoubtedly prove an interesting rival of future Normal School hockey teams. These games being over, the inter-class games were played. Scores of the three first team games were 8-2, 3-3, and 3-2, favoring Seniors. The victory of the second team game also went to the Seniors, the score being 7-2. All played vigorously and wholeheartedly, with encouragement from cheering sec- tions of both classes. As a final result of the inter-class series, we are happy to award the championship to Seniors in the 1928-1929 season. rw ww3? f ft vFa IRt mk f|i| j HI ' jA V H m 7 lit ■, H m fa m wM HOCKEY LINE-VPS Seniors Marguerite Browne, l.

The courts were filled every day with tennis enthusiasts at practice. While the first rounds were informal, real excitement began with the semi-finals. Here Louise Clark and Marguerite Browne defeated Elizabeth Mahan and Helen Labrovitz, respectively. On a breezy October afternoon the finals were played. In spite of the high wind, the technique of both players was splendid. Marguerite Browne was the victor; and she became the Helen Wills of Westfield Normal School. -i 68 }■■ £RVffi = f Vtt V = (greetings To you, classmates and faculty, I wish to make it clear, That if your name you hap to see Somewhere written here, Do not take offense for fear, My heart, you may put out of gear.
