EN PASSANT The three years are over and the members of the Class of 1931, replete with knowledge acquired at their Alma Mater and elsewhere, are about to go forth into the world. As a result of this ego-centric education, these brilliant and talented young thin gs will carry with them into the unknown an appreciation of nursery rhymes, an understanding of the prohibition question, and the egotistical idea that none of their teachers quite measure up to the standard that the graduates have set for themselves. They will have a vague impression of the Freudian theory; why they behave like human beings — or don ' t; and will be able to converse with reason- able intelligence on such subjects as the latest Vogue fashions, the most modern novels, and how to make children happy though in school. They have been the first participants in a noble experiment and hope for education ' s sake that this one will succeed. So, in passing, let it be known that although undoubtedly blessed with these unusual advantages, they nevertheless condescend to accept from those left behind their good wishes for success in their teaching and various other pursuits and pur- suings.

SENIOR CLASS But three short years ago a group of about sixty girls entered the portals of Westfield Normal School fired with the ambition to become school teachers. As days and weeks mounted into months, this group felt its way along and soon began working smoothly. Our first big and outstanding step taken was to elect class officers. Those elected were Agnes Glynn, president; Anne Gluskin, vice- president; Ariel Saunders, treasurer; and Hazel Agambar, secretary. The first social event sponsored by us took place in June, at the annual Freshman Sport Hop. Carrying out the idea of the name, tennis rackets, golf clubs, banners, and balloons appeared in profusion throughout the hall. This gala event, like all others, soon passed and we left these halls ringing with our shouts and laughter, followed by the strains of Home, Sweet Home. September, 1929, loomed clearly and we were together once more as Juniors, an extremely different group from that of the previous year, and we were the upper- classmen. As usual, elections were the first matter to be considered. Catherine Donahue took the helm as president; Olive Rhoades, vice-president; Vera Pills- bury, treasurer; and Jean Valentine, secretary. Throughout the year we planned for bridges. These for the most part were successful and they were enjoyed. In February we made our first big debut, that of the Junior Promenade. Since the winter was here in good shape, icicles and glittering snow played their part in our decorations. Thus once more passed our largest activity of the year. All too soon came September, 1930. Here we were once more, back with our old friends and eager to embark on our last great voyage at Normal School. With Ellen Shea to guide as president, Ruth Field as vice-president, Jean Valentine as secre- tary, and Jeanie Provost as treasurer, we planned a most noble year. In January we had our big dance of the year, the Inter-Class Promenade. Who could help but be gay mid that host of blue crepe paper bespecked with silver stars of all sizes? Thus we had passed another milestone in our notorious career as students here. Lo and behold! Class Day was at hand. Then came the dawn and gra duation with it. We can ' t say good-bye to you all, merely au revoir, for we ' ll always be with you in our dreams. Hence, the first three-year-course class from Westfield Normal School was granted the diploma signifying Go thou and seek what Dame Fortune has in store for you.
