82 THE CI-IIIVIES The Centennial Club has been organized this year, and it is sure of pros- perity in the future, for the girls are most enthusiastic about it. Tennyson was the first poet to be studied, and now the work of the society has changed to the study of Browning. Besides this study, many prominent men have been brought here to lecture, under the auspices of the society. It is the hope of the class oi 1903 that at the close of the next century the class of 2003 may come to the end of their school days with hearts as full of love and gratitude to our Alma Mater as are ours. We have spent here some of the happiest days of our lives, here have been formed dear and precious friendships, which will go with us through life, here we have learned lessons not found in books-lessons of courage and strength and devotion to duty. We do not-mean to forget these things, and as long as we live we mean to be true and loyal to old B. A. Q9 6 fbi

She is a girl of divided interests, alive to all Q enjoyments. She golfs, plays at tennis, rows, and rides, but let us look at her life aside from her out-of-door sports. Not until late in the month of September, 1902, did the actual social events start in, for the beginning of a school year is far from easy. For a week or two all thoughts ot social functions are driven from the mind by more important duties. The girls are getting acquainted, going to Haverhill on all kinds of shopping tours, settling their rooms, arranging schedules, and, best of all, meeting old friends. - September Not very late in the month, however, the old girls, true to their former record of entertaining well, gave a party in the form of a reception and dance to the new girls. Miss Knott, Miss Andrews and Miss Hart received in the parlor, and with them was one member of each class. Tempting refreshments were served in the German room, and then all enjoyed a good dance in the Gym.'7 One of the pleasantest excursions of the month was a trip to Hamp- ton Beach. October In October the basket ball teams and the Leonora Society were reorgan- ized. One morning we were glad to see in the chapel Dr. Little, the President of the Board of Trustees, who gave us a short but very helpful talk. About
