A hundred years of teacher training has passed in the State of Massachusetts. During that time it has shown tree mendous advances, the most significant being the change from the two to four year preparation, and the change in curriculum to meet more fully the cultural and content needs of such an esteemed profession. For the past four years you have increased in wisdom as you were subjected to the rigorous teach' ings of the arts and sciences, and the principles and methods of education. 'You were further jitted to take your place in the honored profession of teaching by serving an internship under instructors skilled in the art of training teachers. Your cultural and professional training has been fundamentally sound. We have opened the gates of lgnowledgeg we have pointed the wayg we are at your service to do what- ever further we can to aid you in getting on in the world. We wish you Godspeed. 4 PRESIDENT OF THE STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE AT WESTFIELD 5 CENTENNIAL 1839-1939 S T bi: year our Alma Mater celebratex the cerzterzniczl grlzerfbunding.

Cyketfh The State Normal School in Westiield was originally located at Barre, where on September 4, 1839 it opened its doors to the youth of Massachusetts. The Westfield School is the second oldest teacherftraining institution in the United States. Professor Samuel P. Newman, for several years acting-President of Bowdoin College, served as its first principal. Mr. Newman's illness and subsequent death caused the school to be closed from November, 1841 to September, 1844. When the classes were resumed, Westfield became the new location for the school because of its central position among the western counties. The students Hrst assembled in the NVestfield Academy of which Rev. Emerson Davis was principal. He assumed the additional duties of head of the NVestfield State Normal School. On September 3, 1846 the first Normal School building was erected on the site now occupied by the Training School. Through the generosity of a friend of educa- tion, a State appropriation, and the contributions of the private citizens and of the town of Westfield, the money for the construction was obtained. The school was enlarged by the addition of two wings in 18605 in 1869 it was remodeled by the building of a second story. The present college building, designed by H. H. Richardson, and dedicated june 21, 1892, was opened in 1894. The Normal Training School, replacing the Model Schools, was instituted in the fall of 1900. Dickinson Hall, the new dormitory, became available to women students early in 1903. The school was converted into a State Teachers College in 1932. The curriculum has been expanded to include a fourfyear academic and professional course for the successful completion of which a degree of Bachelor of Science in Education is granted. 8 K NOX N K...

KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, That we, the Class of 1939, of the State Teachers' College, Westfield, Massachusetts, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, fYou may judge for yourselfj do make, publish and declare this to be our Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all other wills heretofore by us made.

I'I.-XXVLEY: A student body which will come to chorus on time with an abundance of enthusiasm. H To Miss HANIFEY: A book of instructions in the ways and methods of a detective, so that she will always know where to find the money lost by her junior High Classes. The Class of 1939 also makes the following bequests: Germaine's talent for puns to those whose speech lacks pungency Pat Callahan's cynicism to temper the ideals of some sweet freshman Canning's and Collinson's room, with its heterogeneous collection of impedimenta, to all immaculate dormfdwellers. 38 Whatever it is that makes Broderick's weekends so gay-To whomever can take it. Barb Gorman's capacity for worry to some toofcarefree soul. Adah Smith's voice to some aspiring glee club leading lady. The care of the candyfmachine, which has been the bane of Bessie Brooks's senior year, to a patient junior.

Helen Gunn's unexpected flashes of wit to relieve the dryness of some underclass conversations. Florence Wood and Rose LeGrand leave their knack for getting things done ahead of time to all laggards.

We nominate and appoint our faculty adviser, Theresa J. Lammers to be executor of this Will, and it is our request that she be exempt from giving surety or sureties on her oflicial bond. In witness whereof we hereunto set our hand and seal this sixth day of June, nineteen hundred and thirty nine. CLASS OF 1939 n Witnesses: RHODA ANN KATZMAN DORIS SCOTT EILEEN MAGUIRE MARY CHARLOTTE DOWD 39 Ghz!! Troplzecy It is the natural desire of every student body to perform a unique service for its institution. It was the inspired idea of the college students in the year 1950 to take advantage of natural curiosity and inform the various classes as to the activities and whereabouts of their fellow members. In a mood of pleasant reminiscence, we are comfortably seated before a fire enjoy- ing once again the company of our former classmates through the familiar Bulletin of the Class of '39. ' First, we are amazed to learn that our old class president, Eileen Maguire, by virtue of her great work as international correspondent has just received the appoint- ment by the President of the U. S. to our embassy at Nanking. Minister Maguire was recently feted at the Chinee Tea Shoppee by the illustrious archaeologist, Dr. Eleanor Mahoney, who has recently returned from a fossil expedition in the Gobi Desert sponsored by the Kelly Fossil Fund . . . Hmm -'ff-- Marita Keough has just proved herself one of our great feminine inventors. She has just patented a device to be placed in the mouth so that one can talk comfortably in libraries without attracting the librarian's attention. Amazing how friends stick together! A market for her product has just been assured by Mary Courtney who is installing the device throughf out her famous hospital for decrepit teachers . . . Well! We must go to the hospital's benefit performance next week. Barbara Gorman will present her famous HopfI Indian War Dance. fHeavens! how have her knees held out this long?j . . . Regis Massucco is going to be on the program, too. She's going to do her famous Pagliacci Act. QShe received her first training for that at Westfield's May Dayj. Germaine Guertin will probably live in Canada now that she has established her fame as Canada Dry's advertising writer. Her persuasive arguments have influenced the country to go Dry , I see . . . Oh! and we must find time to attend the lecture sponsored by the Daughters of Ohiyesan. The guest speaker will be Mary McDonnell whois going to address the audience on The Relation of Poor Planning to Successful Living . . . She will drive to town with her educator friend, Mary Dowd, who has made few public appearances in the last few years because she has confined herself to her laboratory. She expects to make a good deal of money with her rhubarb antidote. QIt's been loudly acclaimed by the leading doctors! Well! twins have arrived at the Pava household! fWe always knew she was interested in horticulture, but we hardly expected her to start a nursery of her own so soonj . . . Rhoda Katzman must be happy now that her book, Lawrence Through The Ages or the Study of a Precocious Child is going to be published. Land sakes! They even have women engineersnowadaysg Mary Collinson is the head engineer in the extension of the Cape Cod Canal! . . . And Muriel Canning fthey were roommates, if we remember correctlyj has opened a pawnshop. fWell, she ought to be successful at the hooking game. She's had plenty of experience on the field, anywayj . . . Here is something! We won't have to go to Paris any longer for stylish clothes now that Doris Thyregod has attracted attention to Westfield with her new dress designs. Her latest creation is a cotton frock covered with wistful poems of her own making. I 40 Doris Scott too, makes verses. She sets to music her own lilting lyrics . . . We're surprised that Elaine Phipps and Jeannette Hennessey are not using her compositions on the air instead of doing Gilbert-Sullivarragain. Say, here's something about Eleanor Sandiford fshe was such a sweet girll. She's making a living on the high seas fC'sj. A faux pas she will long be remembered for is her naive: How do you like My-er Blues Song? Oh! Heavens! Vivian Plouffe's involved again-well, it's only a C. I. O. agitation this time. She's sailing to S. A. soon as a wool expert fshe ought to be good at that- you never could pull the wool over her eyesj . . . Then there is Virginia Clark who recently iilled the vacancy of house mother at the Tom Thumb School for Boys. The Class of '39 has certainly produced its share of great authors fshades of Senior Lit.!j. Mary Corcoran, in her capacity as editor of the .Theater Monthly, has written a splendid article entitled Dreams of a Dramatistw . . . Then there is Bessie Brooks who has solved so many of the world's perplexing problems. Her famous mystery novel The Startling Discovery of Whether Teachers Practice What They Preach is still a best seller. Vivian Cordes and Adah Smith have just started on their sixth nationfwide tour. Vivian will lecture as President of the W.C.T.U. fCould this mean Why Challenge the Unlawful?j . . . Adah plans to tell the married women of America why their place is not in the home. Our nature lover Mildred Taft, has not given up her botanical interest. She still devotes most of her time to elm wood flilmwoodj. Helen Gunn and Alma Chaloux have made a howling success of their model school for Bawling Babies . . . But evidently, teaching was not occupation enough for Rose LeGrand. Not content with her Dr's degree, she is soon to receive her Mfrfs. Florence Wood is in the news again. She is the important head of the Women Pioneers of the Stratosphere -that famous flying school for flightyfminded teachers. Patricia Callahan, the famous sports enthusiast, is opening her successful Home for Relaxation in the Blue and White Mountains for its tenth season. Poor Grace Lester is still teaching QIsn't it too bad we had that war eleven years ago?j. Beside the little red schoolhouse in GobblefGobble Village is a little red barn. It is here that Walter Broderick carries on a profitable turkey business in his leisure moments. Mr. Fox, we notice, after seeing that his Connecticut school is well on its way, has returned to Westheld to found a University for ambitious teachers only. My! but this has been a pleasant evening. We feel as though we were back in 1939. MURIEL CANNING BARBARA GORMAN GERMAINE GUERTIN 41 Gollege Qyong Westfeld! Alma Mater, We salute and honor thee.
