As time has passed and some conditions of school ,life here have changed, it seemed wise in many ways to change the plan of the school publication. On account of the condition in which the old monthly found itself, it was determined not to publish it in the old form this year, but to concentrate our efforts in one number, to be published at the end of the year. The OFFERING staff appointed by the President of the Nor- mal Club have had the book in charge, and with much trepidation herewith sub- mit the results of their labor, and hope that in a small way they may have ful- hlled expectations, and have opened the way for a much larger and better effort. The plan of the book has been to simply supply a good souvenir for students and friends of the School. The staff wish to thank all contributors for their efforts in behalf of the paper, both in the line of articles and drawing. It is hoped that in undertaking the preparation of this number, the wishes of the School have been met, and at the beginning of what we hope will be an annual feature, we ask for sufficient encouragement to render the continuation of the plan feasible.

BOYDEN, principal, was educated in the home, on his grandfather's farm, in his father's blacksmith- shop, in the district l school, the State Normal School, and by private tuition. At the age of fourteen years he decided to be a teacher, strongly desiring to go to college but could not get the funds. He gave his evenings to study, deter- mined -to do what he could for himself. At twenty-one years of age he had good health, good habits, his trade, and had taught a district school three winters. He entered the State Normal School at Bridgewater, taking the regular course and an advanced course. After his graduation he taught a Grammar school in Hingham during the next'winter, received the. appointment of assist- ant teacher in the Bridgewater State Normal School, held the position three years under the distinguished founder of the school, Nicholasffillinghastf, was principal of the English High school for boys. in Salem three years, sub4master of the Chapman Grammar school, Boston, one year, first assistant again in the Bridgewater Normal School three and one-half years under the able tuition of the second principal, Marshall Conant, was appointed principal of the school in August, 1860, and the same year received the degree of A. M. from Amherst College. , A He was a diligent student in school and under private tuition, and during the time he was assistant in the Normal school he was called upon to teach nearly all the studies of the course, and to make a careful study of the principles and methods of teaching. He' started in life with the determination to do every- thing entrusted to him to the best of his ability, and has never sought a position as teacher. He has been president of the Plymouth County Teachers' Association, of the Massachusetts Teachers' Association, of the Massachusetts Schoolmas- ters' Club, of the New England Normal Council, vice-president of the Ameri- can Institute of Instruction, secretary of the National Council of Education, president of the Old Colony Congregational Club, editor of Massachusetts Teacher, and author of numerous educational addresses. He has been invited to take charge of Normal schools in other states, with larger compensation, but has preferred to remain in Bridgewater, that he might carry out his plans for the development of this school. 49?

KIRMAYER was born March 25, 1840, at Unterhoerlbach, a small village of lower Bavaria. Attended the common schools till his eleventh year, entered then the Latin school of the neighboring town of Abenaberg QAbruina castraj and after graduating from its two years' course he was admitted to the Gymnasium of Wetten on the Danube. After graduating from that Gymnasium he went to the University of Munich for three years and then to the University of Giessen for one year, in both of which Uni- versities he devoted himself to scientific and literary subjects, taking chemistry as his specialty, and language as a pastime. After graduation from the University, he travelled extensively both on the continent of Europe and in England, and came finally to the United States, where he arrived in the summer of 1863. Here he pursued the occupation of decorative painter and paper hanger, a trade which he had learned during his stay as student at the Gymnasium of Wetten. As the war became more fierce from day to day, and all his friends enlisted, he left his lucrative work and joined Co. G, 54th Ghio Vols., Zouaves, in March, 1864. He was with General Sher- man during the Georgia Campaign, and was in many a hard-fought contest at Resaca, Dalton, Dallas, Kennesaw, and other places, until on july 3, 1864, at Nickajack Creek near the Chattahoochee, not far from Atlanta, he was blown up by a' rebel shell. The loss of his left leg, a severe wound in his right leg, injury to back, eyes, and head from the explosion left him helpless on the Held. His injuries were so severe that he was considered beyond hope, and either through rash belief of rumors, or jealousy, he was reported dead. He had been appointed Sergeant from the ranks, for gallantry at Kennesaw Mt. When after many months in various hospitals he was discharged in March, 1865, he betook himself to Ghio, where he worked as clerk and accountant dur- ing the day, and in the evening as teacher of a private evening school. In 1867 he went back to Germany to prepare himself for the profession of teaching. In 1868 he was appointed Vice-Consul of the United States at Munich. This position required only two hours' work each day and so gave him ample time for study, besides helping him to defray his expenses. At that time the Hon. J. W. Dickinson, our late Secretary of the Board of Education, came to his office and asked for a letter of introduction to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, to get permission to visit all the schools of Munich from the lowest to 4147 the University. Mr. Kirmayer procured this permission and accompanied Mr. Dickinson on his visits. Through Mr. Dickinson he was engaged to teach here in the Massachusetts Normal Schools, where the four years' course was to be started in 1870. Accordingly he sold out all his household goods in the summer of 1870 so as to be here in September. But when he wished to leave Munich, war suddenly broke out between France and Germany, and he had to stay in Bavaria, as no passengers or goods were carried by the railroads. He went with his wife and two children home to his father, where he stayed until the end of September, when he received a despatch from his agent that he could pass through Holland. Mr. Kirmayer arrived in New York about the 15th day of of October, and knowing that the schools here had begun long ago, he wrote to Mr. Dickinson, then principal- of the Westfield Normal, that he was in New York and intended to go to Cincinnati. A prompt despatch, that he was ex- pected with every steamer, brought 'him here, where he began to teach and where he has been teaching since. In 1894 Mr. Kirmayer applied to the University of Munich for permisson to be examined for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, but as he could not present himself in June or Qctober, when such examinations are held, he was referred to the University of Washington. From there he was referred to Boston College, whose faculty examined him and upon satisfactory examination conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, june 27, 1895. -ffec s- E NR all I A- fx- pm. ,::l,:' , Q tx I0 0Pm3.

We, therefore, shall seek to lay out a retrospective panorama which shall present an unbiased account of the stages of development of Section F and the achievements and manoeuvres incident thereto. This remarkable class began its career in September, eighteen hundred and ninety-five,.having more or less successfully passed the ordeal of the entrance examinations which left many of us faint-hearted and lacking courage for the coming struggle for existence. According to Bridgewater customs, we were on the first day enlightened concerning the laws and principles of the institution of which we were a part, and were requested to sign the solemn compact with the Commonwealth which binds all the innocent, unsuspecting creatures who enter here to endeavor, so far as in them lies, to train up the young of Massachusetts in the way they should go. During this first stage of growth, when we were in our infancy, we were tenderly cared for by the faculty and broken in to Nor- mal ways. VVe acquired self possession, in fact we excel in this characteristic even to this day to such a degree that some misunderstanding ones have dared to call it by another and a harder name. X1Ve also cultivated that quality of manner so essential to the teacher, which has ever since been a distinguishing property of the section,-Enthusiasm, wild enthusiasm. We may add that this property is more obvious just before vacation than at any other time, but that fact has no especial significance. These are but two of the many attributes which make Section F unique in its way Qnot a bad way, eitherj. if In our next stage we organized and differentiated, organized formally with a magnificent constitution-much too good for everyday use-which no one but the committee who drew it up ever read. Business meetings were held which 4137 were models of parliamentary law and points of order. Social meetings were held under the management of the Section Committee which were models of in- nocent amusement and instructive recreation. At this period it was found necessary to cultivate the vocal apparatus of the members of the class, and our nightly efforts to render the jaw flexible, and free the tongue may account for the present remarkable volubility of some. The young ladies were also introduced to the Gymnasium that their develop- ment might be symmetrical, but the events which occurred there are a sealed book which we Qeditoriallyj, for good and sufficient reasons, have no desire to open. The connecting link between this stage of childhood and the next of ado- lescence was the circular letter written during the summer. One young man was so impressed with the adjective circular that he strove to conform with the aid of a platef, This same conscientious individual wishing to preserve the fragmentary epistles that reached him, mounted them in a note-book Qfor direc- tions in mounting such articles we refer you to the assistant teacher of Drawingj This increased the postage so much that the free circulation of the letter was somewhat hindered. Indeed it seemed highly probable that some had to wait until they could earn the required amount. The next year our benefactor of the note-book was solemnly warned and threatened with dire disaster if he at- tempted any such thing again. But that is another story. ' The third stage of our development passed without many exciting events. The beginning of each new term was marked by the mild excitement of com- mencing new subjects, and rapid quenching of one's curiosity as to their nature and bearing, e. g. Solid Geometry. All through our course we had seen the Senior classes wearing class-pins fearfully and wonderfully designed, and we de- cided that it was time for us to hang out some sign of our high standing. Many class meetings were held, designs were examined, criticized, and pronounced un- worthy, but finally one was found whose price and pattern suited our purse and our pride. We Wish to say for the beneht of inquiring undergraduates that the color of the pin does not signify verdancy, but everlasting vigor. ' Through the kindness of a resident member who perceived that we were in need of recreation and refreshment, the class spent one of the most enjoyable evenings in its existence outside of Normal. Perhaps this fact increased the general hilarity of the occasion, for we developed an amount of wit and a sense of humor quite unsuspected before. The year drew to its close and we left with regret the Chemical Laboratory where we had soiled our lily fingers with nitric acid, broken much glass, ruined many clothes, and filled up the reagent bottles for the succeeding class. NVC left with regret the Gymnasium, where we had learned to co-ordinate our move- ments that we might be able in the dim, distant future to thrash one boy with one hand and shake another by the collar at the same time. We left Livy still diseoursing in complex, compound sentences between such innocent looking C199 covers. We left Hermann unter ein Baum-tree and went home to write another circular letter and show our friends the new lines in our faces. We started on our fourth year, our stage of maturity, with sad hearts, for we had been twenty-three and now we were but eight. All the rest, either from love of filthy lucre, love of teaching, or lack of love for us and Bridgewater, had left us, left us fewer, older, wiser, a notorious instance of the survival of the fittest. Only eight, the I-Iomely Eight, welfare called by unsympatbeticfand un- appreciative juniors, who ought however to be thankful we are only eight in- stead of twenty-three. And now we eight, all that are left of the noble six hundred, are about to leave our Alma Mater, Next Year,-we say, and pause. The words have a new meaning for us, we cannot use them with that delightful certainty of former years and we repeat- next year -with a feeling of awe and reverence Qopen throat, aspirated qualityb, and in our hearts thank with deepest gratitude those faithful instructors who have tried to develop in us the whole-souled teacher, and prepare us for next year.

It may be said that even before we entered we had a reputation to sustain, for the last Section A, to whose name and fame we fell heir, was of a most superior character. Thus at the very outset great expectations of us were entertained. It is said that this very expectation of good is an active spur to honest effort. Whether or not this is true in our case we would best leave outsiders to judge and time to prove. Through our first year we existed. This really is all that can usually be said of anyone's first year in a new place. We were all strangers to each other, it took some time to learn even the names. No special feeling of class unity was developed that year. In school it is probable that we worked harder than at any time since. The new and undiscovered is always an incentive to effort rather than the tried and known. There is not the deadly sameness to it which saps one's energies. In the field of Music our natural brilliancy was somewhat obscured by the presence of a second and larger class, but this was not the case in Chemistry where we distinguished ourselves, especially in the line of explosions and the like, though with a lack of fatality truly remarkable. In Mathematics we rather excelled, being considered in many respects the star class of the year, for at the end we rested on our laurels instead of being obliged to go through the ordeal of a final test. This one first year was the ever-to-be-remembered one of the reign of the scarlet fever. We furnished from our class three candidates for the hospital, rather more, we thought, than our rightful quota. At the end of this year we found ourselves well acquainted, both with each other and the ways of the school, and looked forward with considerable pleasure to a reunion in September. Our next year was one of very pleasant work involving little worry and anxiety. In fact its delightful character much exceeded our expectations, for we had not realized what a sense of independence the knowledge of a previous year at the same sort of workwould give us, or how much we could enjoy small C022- Zffeiewzps. We all remember that in our pursuit of a knowledge of draughts in 4225 chimneys, mines, etc., fa draught is rather a difficult thing to catch by the wayj, one of our number, while giving a teaching exercise on the subject, illustrated by a cigar box and two lamp chimneys, inquired what was in said box, being at the same time careful to specify that it was empty. Some brilliant young person replied air, Possibly this answer was based on some previously obtained knowledge of the subject. Some of us took great flights in the line of Literature and even reached the realms of poetry. Though in that last high flight, I think we must have melted ourgwings of wax by flying too near the sun, as did Daedalus of ancient times, for then most of us suffered a grievous fall, and since, none of us have dared to soar so high. But these lofty things were prevented from taking us off the earth entirely by the admixture of a great quantity of varied practical knowledge, as for in- stance, whencash is debtor, what is the disease termed appendicitis, and what is the difference between a toadstool and a mushroom. On the whole we man- aged to imbibe a fair amount of knowledge, and to gain much varied experience. Thus endeth the second year. The third year of our sojourn began in rather a melancholy way with the secession of several members of our class to the three years' course, so that now nine are all that are left of our noble bandf' This seemed very strange at first, but when we realized that the old order was actually changed, we became more reconciled till, at this time, we scarce remember that there ever were more of us than at present. This year we organized as a class and chose class offi- cers. With not more than the usual amount of discussion we chose a class pin, and are at present awaiting its arrival with considerable impatience. We trust that our present year's course in Mathematics compares favorably with that of our first year. During this course we were frequently impressed with the fact that everything was perfectly simple, especially the Binomial Theorem. The representation of the classic flower-pot and the artistic beer- bottle has occupied a good deal of our time, and we hope that our efforts in this direction have not been entirely fruitless. Very lately we are beginning to feel that our childhood is returning, for we spend long hours making round 0's and crooked S's on the blackboard. As the time goes on, however, I think we realize more and more the high profession for which we are preparing, and the possibilities of doing a great good or a still greater harm. Upon our failure or success rests not only our own hopes and ambitions, but also in some degree those of the institution which pre- pares us for our work. Those of the four years' class ought to be a special credit to the school because of their far greater opportunities for improvement. Let us hope that Section A of IQOO may, in the future, reflect still greater lustre upon her already renowned Alma Mater. C235 SECTICN C. 1901. WILLIAM R. KRAMER, . Preszdem' ANASTACIA G.

S IT BECOMES our welcome task to submit to our sister classes the history of our class during the last two years our minds, wander back over the events that have occurred during our Normal Course, now already half completed. Reviewing our history let us turn back to the day that, after crossing the Rubicon, we embarked on our voyage of Normal Life. We numbered twenty-five, among whom were those coming from homes scattered all over New England, from Maine to Connecticut. One came also from far away Scotland, and one even from the very hub of the universe. We entered, of course, novices, having only one among us who had led the children to right activity and to knowledge. After we had loosed from our moorings, with what aesthetic inspirations did we float through the mists of lines and angles, and with what melodious har- mony did we flit by the shores of the land of Euterpe! Soon we grounded in the narrow straits of Heat and Light. Surmounting this great difficulty, we found our energies somewhat impaired, but it was with a light and joyful heart that with hammer and saw in hand we began constructing our Summer castles on the sylvan shores of recreation. Returning in the Fall, to take up our second year's work in Normal, our one question was, Who has not come back? Alas one of our dear classmates, on account of sickness, was unable to resume her work in our ranks. So we em- barked upon our second year's voyage one less in number. We sailed along smoothly until we reached the land of Obelisks and Sphinxes. Here our trouble began. Lost in the maze of a pyramid, we re- mained in darkness, until in the far east we beheld the beautiful colors of the rainbow, which we endeavored to imitate by the artistic QPD touches of our brushes. C stands for Century, and it is to be our good fortune to be the first class graduating in the twentieth century. Of the twenty-four members of our class, thirteen are men. Thus we can truthfully say that not only have we the largest section that ever entered the school, but also that we have more men in our 4259 class than have ever entered in a single section during the history of the school. Since tive of our men are on the baseball nine, and we are strongly represented in basket ball, we,are not at all backward in Athletics. Nor are we slow in other directions. Long will we cherish the pleasant reminiscences of our ride to the Dahlia Farm, of our several Geological and Geographical excursions with Prof. Sinnott, and who of us can forget the pleasant evening spent together at Dr. Kirmayer's. We have come here with a determination to do credit to our school, and to train ourselves that we may be more fitted for life's work. So, dear classmates, let us make the most of our opportunities, that we may not only uphold the honor of Section C 119015, but also that we may become worthy representatives of Bridgewater Normal School.

Not unlike the experience of others was ours, as we wrestled with Mathematics and toiled over the Sciences for two long September days in the Fall of '98 3 neither have we been the only ones to smile grimly at the picture of Daniel in the Lions' Den, which looked so suggestively down upon the can- didates for admission. Certain good qualities, such as a strong school spirit, enjoyment in work, pleasure in recreation are to be found in almost every class. VVe do not, there- fore, affirm that these are peculiarly ours, only that they exist in us in a marked degree. With characteristic energy, we elected officers early in the year and made many plans, most of which have been successful, especially in the social line. During the -winter, frequent class-meetings have afforded opportunities for better acquaintance as well as much amusement, but it is in the recitation rooms that the most interesting things have occurred. What other section can boast of-a musical prodigy, who commands his chorus to sing four quart measures of parter notesn g or of a Latin scholar who persists, in spite of the young ladies' indignant glances, in translating mulier mule P ' In a dreamy, sing-song voice this young man rendered Uoppidum vocant Britanni, The Britons call the town,,' The Britons call the town. Not long ago the question was asked in Mineralogy, What do animals and human beings need to live P Une, whom we have learned to know as another Washington, replied with his usual honesty, Appetite. If the present war in the Philippines lasts much longer, we shall expect to see one of our number in the very front rank, waving his arms wildly and shout- ing to his followers fiat, fiat! Will he remember the difference between consequents and consequence ? a Though now used to finding people in humorous situations, still we were somewhat surprised when a certain young man so far forgot himself and us as to say, Let us love, Miss -. 4285 Of our honored president we will only say that he knows who his friends are, in class as well as out, and that the facility with which he extracts the right swers to questions are marvellous. Miss B-, we understand, is going to devote her course in this institution to the study of the Latin verb. Her present knowledge in that direction leads us to hope greater things of her. And so We might go on, but that we agree with the poet who says, Ubrevity is the soul of wit. We will, then, close this year's history with thanks to the teachers and upper classes for the kindness they have shown us, and which has helped us to look toward the future with bright and hopeful eyes. , ,W l.1.14 E 's K , K -NV , , .. ..1.. 1 SENIQR CLASS. 99.

Can never come again? Hardly that, for have we not many dear memories to take with us through life? Let us gather up some of these memories and form our class history. VVe doubtless all remember our first coming here to school. Some of us had been here the june previous to take the examinations and so felt very much at home, but for the rest of us, how odd it seemed! In some cases the Seniors had come back early and very kindly took us in charge, telling us, among other things, that we would have apple sauce and plain cake for supper, and a teacher at every table 5 also that we must not fail to read the rules at once, and not stroll about the campus after seven o'clOck, or sit up after ten o'clock. In the dining- room came another trial. The gentleman at the head of the table Qfor each table had at least one, I believej tried to pass his plate to the ladies at the side, 4317 lest he should be thought selfish in serving himself first. These new confused feelings soon passed away, and we learned to do our part of the work in an or- derly manner, and to enjoy the companionship of teachers and schoolmates. The first morning of examinations found us in Assembly Hall, warm and nervous. We took seats, and after a time a number of the lady teachers came and sat in a row on the platform. I remember especially Miss Prince, Miss Fisher, and Miss Merritt, and wondered which subjects they taught. I asso- ciated Music and Drawing with Miss Fisher, and Botany with Miss Merritt. Ihad already learned that Miss Prince taught Mathematics, and it seemed to me History was a good companion study. In this, as in many conclusions I have since made, I found I was wrong. The next afternoon we all went to Assembly Hall to hear the result of our two days' work. Mr. Boyden could not accept us all and was sorry to reject a few who did not, for various reasons, meet the requirements of the school. These persons QI never knew who they werej made a quiet journey homeward, with the determination, we hope, to come and try again. In a day or two those who were considered competent to take up the work were assigned rooms in the boarding halls, with which they were variously suited. We soon learned to live with our room-mates, agreeably or otherwise, and to enjoy associating with so many persons of our own age and ambitions. We formed the habit, too, of putting the light out before the light step of the watchman was heard, and of keeping very quiet if, for any reason, a teacher's step was heard on the stairs. At school we soon got used to the routine of work. Our class was divided into three divisions according to alphabetical order,-a cruel act many thought it, when their names began with T, and their best friend's began with C, or sim- ilar letters, that caused them to be separated. The morning talks by Mr. Boy- den were very helpful. He showed us that we each have a special and particular work to do, and made us feel with Emerson that H Nature arms each man with some faculty which enables him to do easily some feat impossible to any other. So the first year passed away quickly till june when the Class of '98 was graduated. We watched all the proceedings carefully, that we might know how to do as well or better in ,QQ, and we felt proud to step into their places and be- come Seniors. After we came back in the Fall, fewer in numbers but with no less spirit, we were organized as a class. September 21, 1898, we all assembled in the Principal's classroom, and having some knowledge of law and order acquired at the old Normal Congress, we proceeded to nominate and elect our officers in a business-like manner. Mr. W. T. McDonald, who had shown his ability to be- come President by serving as a prompt and faithful Chairman, was elected to this highest position in the class. Miss Bertha W. Kimball was elected Vice- President. Her duties, however, have not proved arduous, if we judge from her remark to some friends that the hardest duty she had performed as Vice-Pres ident was having her picture taken in a group with the other ofhcersf' I think you will all agree that our class as a whole was not in the habit of staring at C325 z'1za:zz'17zaz'e objects with a show of interest great enough to disconcert them, but for some reason on this day its steadfast gaze so embarrassed the camera that it couldn't stand the blow of the wind even, and fell crashing to the sidewalk. But we had a picture taken the next day, and as it is in this book I will leave you to judge of its merits. Miss Mary E. Loud was elected Secretary, and Mr. L. T. Morse, who could reasonably be expected to fill any ordinary-sized position, was elected Treasurer, but I am afraid he has had very little money to handle for us. In October the class assembled and selected blue and gold for the class colors, and these were well combined in the class pin which was chosen in De- cember. In May Mr. King, the photographer here in Bridgewater who has given such universal satisfaction to former graduating classes, was chosen class photographer, and his work this year is even better than formerly. I look back on the many pleasant experiences of the school life here, recall- ing the subjects we have endeavoredxto grasp, our successes and our failures, and this book would not contain them all. In years to come we shall perhaps remember the many experiments in Physics and Chemistry that worked all right before class when we tried them , H the cut and bruised fingers that made us painfully conscious of our skill in handling tools, the points that were never impressed H by us in Arithmetic, the old principles of Grammar that were with difficulty uprooted and replaced by the more modern system of elegant English, the glowing landscapes that-were hard to paint in words, and the forcible if not graceful gestures which made up in stiffness what they lacked in ease , the stools that failed to use their organs of locomotion and form orderly rows Linder the desks when the class was excused from drawing, the terms that we forgot to derive in Psychology, and last, our habits of excusing ourselves when the blame of carelessness was wrongfully QQ laid upon our consciences. Now we close this short period of our life history, and go out to work in the larger field of life. We owe more than we can ever realize to the kind, helpful influence of our faithful teachers, who have endeavored to guide us in the right way of living. As we begin lifeys work let us keep in mind, as one has said, that today is, for all we know, the opportunity and occasion of our lives. We desire to widen the circle of our influence, and to be felt as a power for good by all whom we meet. To do this we must keep in view the end toward which all of the various lines of our work have tended, the noble, far- reaching purpose of True Living. f pun 4 i H xl P R W '-0' ' 1 2?

What place is it? This is Bridgewater, my son. Where the best Normal school in the State is, and I presume they are going to take their entrance examinations. The blue books are catalogsf' y Yes, Madam, we were to take our examinations on that beautiful hot Sep' tember morning. We had no difficulty in finding the way, for as all roads lead to Ronie in the old world, so in Bridgewater all streets lead to the Normal School. The great building with its sentinel-like towers, which we now look upon as home, seemed imposing and forbidding to our terror-stricken minds, but once inside its walls, we were met by genial teachers and soon, I4O strong, we were seated in Assembly Hall, waiting for our first paper. How well we remember the kindly words of Mr. Boyden as he tried to calm the anxiety which would show in some of our faces. Don't be frightened. We won't hurt you. You are simply to do your bestf' With this encouragement we finished the work of the day and wandered forlornly yet curiously around our might-be abiding-place. At supper that night all our conversation was peppered with the trite phrase- If I pass. During the examination on the following day we had our Hrst interview with Mr. Boyden. Six at a time we were called into the Language room and happy were those who believed that they were to teach pupils and not subjects. C357 ln the afternoon the sentence was pronounced and the fortunate pupils wrote home that they had passed successfully. The others, poor mortals, went home to tell that they had not. That first evening was a long one in spite of the fact that the town of Bridgewater celebrated the arrival of the illustrious 1000', with fireworks. I believe a whole box factory was consumed for our benefit. Many of the Seniors had arrived, however, and they did their best to make us forget our verdancy. Though their pretty, cozy rooms were quite a contrast to the ones we were occupying we mentally resolved that ours should soon be as pretty as theirs. At II.3O the last room had been assigned, the noise of moving trunks had ceased, and the birthday of the class of IQOO was over. Thursday morning we were ready for work-we were here for a purpose, and although it proved a little hard for some fresh from the petting of approving High School teachers, we realize now the truth of our princyalis kindly words: We have no time here for petting and coddling. When your teachers criticize you, it is for your best good. You are here to gain power and self-reliance. The first social event in our school life was the junior Reception or Im- pression Party H as someone has called it. There, teacher and pupil, Senior and Junior exchanged greetings and im- pressions. Everyone was delightfully cordial and as we were tagged with our full names no introductions were necessary. Early in the week we were each presented with a souvenir in the shape of a study card by which we learned that preparing a lesson to teach was quite different from preparing it to recite. Qui' efforts at first were laughable. In music we began at the beginning and it took a great deal of imagination to believe that the thirty young men and women before you were little tots in the first grade and that their interest must be aroused by telling them tossing as if they had just come home from school and were calling BI1A-Ni:iA, from the bottom of the stairs. Or to explain to bearded youths, the little song, Strive to make each other happy, And you will yourselves be blestf, In Geometry we learned to appreciate the value of forms-for we had to make them all, from a triangle to an icoseedron. Strings of them may be seen hanging on the walls of our rooms. No doubt they will some day be useful in a schoolroom, if not previously consigned to a less noble fate. Think how the world is being revolutionized! There are at least ninety-six girls in the State of Massachusetts, who can drive a nail sfzfazgkz' andiwithout pounding their fingers, as a result of our course in the Industrial Laboratory. The first six weeks have passed. All the teachers are late to supper. We ask what it means. lt is the regular Faculty meeting, where our triumphs and our failures are weighed in the balance, and the next morning we know if we are found wanting. C369 Gne of the most interesting features of the School has been the General Exercise in the morning. Mr. Boyden either talks to us, or some subject is discussed by the pupils. We have learned to cultivate our powers of observa- tion. One morning when we were talking about the trees in this vicinity, only a very few could tell the kind of tree in front of Mr. Coleis store. Had we ever been there? VVho is Mr. Cole P H you ask. Why, he is the genial proprie- tor of a so-called drug store, but in reality he keeps everything that Normal girls want. from wooden hoops for wall decorations to paper blocks and chocolates. He always has candy or fruit for us to sample, and even now we go to Cole's- lest we should forget the kind of tree, you know. VVe were told on one of these occasions by a bright young woman of the Class of IQOO, that a chair was 'fa seat for a person with four legs. Our Psychology lessons were very much enjoyed, though we had them only a few weeks. They were a taste of what we are to have 'next year, and none of us will forget that the mind is the ey? which thinks, feels, and wills. At the close of the Thanksgiving recess, when we were looking forward to coming back to work again, imagine our disappointment Monday morning at seeing the world buried in snow, and to hear that wires were broken and cars were not running. All day Tuesday the trains that got through the drifts brought scholars and teachers, though many pupils found it impossible to get here till Friday, and the last teacher got through from the Cape on Thursday. For the next few weeks permission to spend Sunday away from Bridgewater was granted rather charily, lest there should be another storm. VVe learned in Chemistry that experiments will not always come out as we wish them to do, and learned the value of the maxim, If at first you don't suc- ceed, try, try again. Une day as we had gathered round the table to watch an experiment, our instructor, by way of precaution, advised us not to get too near, as possibly there might be an explosion, but he looked so serene that we were hardly prepared for the violent action that followed,-a loud noise, water spat- tering the pupils, the walls, and even the ceiling. Some timid maidens were half way down the hall before they realized that we were all laughing and no one was hurt. After the commotion had subsided we were told to again witness the experiment,-if we were courageous enough. A similar result followed, but the third time was successful. One day in the Reading class, Miss Horne asked a young lady who had just finished a selection, what she lacked to make her rendering effective. HI think I have lost my waist supportf' she naively remarked. Twice a week we look forward with pleasure to the hour spent in the Gym, Some of us are awkward and ungraceful 3 some do not know their left hand from their right. I shall have to tell some of you young ladies as I tell thc children in the Model school, 'Your left hand is on the side where the clock is,' I' said Miss Barnes. I trust by this time, however, that in the development of our muscles, we are showing the strengthening of our characters as well. The play of our Gym. work comes in our Basket Ball. We are very proud of our 4379 four teams, the Brownies, the Royals, the Bluets, and the Spiders. The teams were chosen by lot, so that the good-natured rivalry existing is only a stimulus for us to do our best. X T How glad all Nature was to welcome us as we returned from our Spring vaca- tion! The world looked very beautiful in her new dress of delicate green, and, as if in accordance with this, a delightful surprise awaited us in the dining hall. In place of the accustomed heavy white dishes and the cut glass tumblers, were pretty blue and white ones, new chocolate cups, pitchers and glasses. The tables looked so inviting, so home-like, that the little lonesome feeling which had begun to creep over us took wings, and we all drank some tea to try the new cups. An epidemic of chicken-pox, which we had seen symptoms of as early as February, now broke out in earnest. The first cases were among the Seniors, and following their illustrious example not a few of the young ladies in the junior class were slightly afHicted. It is probable that no serious results will follow, and that by the Ioth of june all will have recovered. One day all our teachers went to a Convention and left us to run the school. I don't mean to say that Mr. Boyden left a junior at the head of the school, for probably the Seniors would have resented that acknowledgement of our supe- riority. But in spite of the rumor that the Seniors would conduct our recita- tions, these were left exclusively to us. It was curious to note the unconscious imitation of our teachers, and we might also have imagined that they were with us as we recognized the familiar sayings, Think on your feetfi 'fls Zimes a factor? What is the ethical value ?-7' Contrary to the usual custom of the juniors, we have organized this year, although Maud did not see how we could without the members of Section B in the class. We succeeded in getting our pictures taken, although the Seniors did break the cameraf, May we never have a record like that to go down to posterity! c W We have ninety-six girls and only two men in our class, consequently we are very modest, and many of our illustrious deeds we will forbear to mention until next year, thus leaving the field to the Seniors. Suffice it to say, that we are the Class of the Century of whom the world will hear more later. SPECIAL STUDENTS. 1899. Better late than never. A valiant set of Specials To Normal School once Went, Un learning schemes and methods new Their energies were bent. But what is their surprise, As to the hall they wend, That to all intents and purposes They children are again. In school at desks they sit And must not speak or smile, And when to class they start to go They needs must pass in file. 4395 And when they would recite, Must go before the class, And must present and often teach, Or Specials have, alas! All things are done by rule, Lights must be out at ten, And when a walking they would go Girls must not go with men. But why should they complain, For is it not their aim, A better chance to get to teach Because of Normal fame? CI O ll DEFINITE AIM IN COMING HERE. DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTIC.

For this number we have tried to secure these notices, and we wish to say that at any time the editors will be glad to know of the whereabouts and work of any of the Alumni, ,4l to ,QQ inclusive. Some notices have been received this year too late to be published, but the senders have the thanks of the staff for remembering the paper. We hope to have a much larger number in the next issue. n Mr. Samuel P.

At the close of the school year in June 1898 a committee was chosen to suggest a plan of reorganization that would be most helpful to the largest number. This committee reported in the fall with the details of a club arranged in a set of By-Laws. Three lines of interest, literary, musical, and social were provided. Each was in charge of a special committee for the year. These com- mittees were to be appointed by the President, and with the other officers form an executive board in general charge of all the interests of the club. The club was also to provide an editorial board to have charge of the Normal Offering in whatever form it might seem best to publish it. On Friday evenings of alternate weeks the various committees were to pro- vide appropriate exercises, and the p fruit of the first year's plans are to i be seen in the 'Secretary's report. The social interests of so large a student body required special at- tention, and with the new recep- tion room at Normal Hall an op- portunity was at hand for a series of successful entertainments. The success of the musical and literary efforts of the club is evinced by the fact that at some of the meet- ings only standing room was available in the large assembly hall. A full treasury and the present volume of the Offering are also evidences of an ,enthusiastic res- ponse to the formation of the club. With a membership of between l two and three hundred the club is 1 V decidedly alive. , C489 NCRMAL CLUB FRIDAY EVENINCS, 1898-'99 .wx.m .g.g.5.5 .5-Q-Q-A -i'ei'!-!'i'i-!- d-p. . ??F'?Oa-of-on-of Qxo-so-mo-no-mofmo-mq HAT IS THE aim of the Club? Well, one canit say really, except perhaps in a general way by saying that its purpose is to fill a long- felt want. Whether it has in any measure succeeded in filling the void left by the Congress is a question which seems to have been definitely settled. In looking over the records of the Secretary one is struck immediately by the single word heading the report of each meeting. It is either Social, Literary, or Music,', and these three words show the lines along which the Club has worked for the past year. The committees having these departments in charge have carried out their workin such a manner as to set a good example for their successors, and we know that the standard set will not be lowered. Following, we give a schedule of the entertainments given by the Club since it organized on November 4, 1898. NovEMBER 18. SOCIAL. The evening was given up to a reception to the officers of the club. The reception room was prettily decorated and the social side of the club was brought to notice on its first night. DECEBIBER 2. MUs1c. Mr. Homer A. Norris lectured on the Great Musical Composers. His lecture was illustrated by Mr. john Marshall, pianist. A large audience listened to Mr. Norris who gave an interesting and instructive lecture. DECEMBER 16. LITERARY. Dr. A. E. Winship, Well known to members of the Bridgewater Normal School, lectured on Training as a factor in education. His description of the George, Junior Republic was especially interesting. 4497 JANUARY 13. LITERARY. Procession of Six Centuries. The pupils of the school were called upon to help in this entertainment. It consisted ofthe characterization of noted persons of the past six centuries, each one appearing in costume and giving a selection from the writings or sayings of the person he represented. A large audience was present, and the club furnished ,unique .souven-inprogframmes. JANUARY 27. MUSIC. The music committee provided an interesting evening: Miss Revere read a paper on Music, and her talk was illustrated by selections rendered by several soloists and a quartet. FEBRUARY Io. SOCIAL. For this evening's entertainment the committee provided a Cobweb Party, which was largely attended and enjoyed. Refreshments were served in the small parlor. Y FEBRUARY 24. MUSIC. This musical evening was devoted to Master Darwin Wood, the boy musician, and Miss Miriam Babbit who read for the club. The boy rendered improvisa- tions which were listened to with great interest by the large audience. Miss Babbit was heartily received by her old school friends, who were glad to welcome her to the Normal Club. At this meeting of the club, an admission charged 5 t-en cents to club members and twenty cents to others. MARCH 1 7. LITERA RY. Ultra Portasf, This enter- tainment was a representation in six scenes of portions of john Ken- drick Bangs' House Boat on the Styx. The parts were all taken by members of the club and the whole entertainment was one of the best and most successful of the season. Between the scenes musical selections were rendered by Mr. James' Kimball, saxaphone, Mr, Gunnar Elfman, violin, and Mr. Paul Donovan, piano. Souve-E nir programmes were provided and C509 an admission was charged as in the preceding entertain- ment. APRIL 14. SOCIAL. ' This evening was devoted Y to a Normal Club Library. Each member was invited on condition that he should rep- resent the title of some book. The reception room was prettily decorated and re- freshments were served in the dining-room. Souvenirs were given to the one having the best representation of a title and to the one guessing the largest number. Master Allen Boyden received the prize for the. most character- istic representation, his book being Boyden's Nature Study by Months. Miss Harrington received the prize for guessing the largest number of titles. APRIL 28. Music. . The entertainment was by the Eolian Mandolin and Guitar Club of Brock- ton, assisted by Miss Ruth Burrill, Miss Josephine Lynch, Mr. E. M. Copeland, soloists, and Miss Desire Nickels, and Miss Jeanette Thibadeau, readers. The audience was large and the meeting very successful. MAY 19. LUDERARY. Rev. T. M. Crothers of Cambridge lectured on the Mission of Humor. This lecture was one of the most enjoyable entertainments given by the club. It was largely attended and the lecture was listened to with pleasure. JUNE 2. Music. The last entertainment of the season was a piano recital by Miss Nellie Dean of the Faelton School of Boston, assisted by Miss Lena W. Lothrop, reader. Miss Dean rendered a very fine program which was enjoyed by the audience. Her recital was one of the musical events of the year in Bridgewater. The selections given by Miss Lothrop were also enthusiastically received' In fact, the entertainment was a fitting ending for a very successful first season.

No football team was supported last season, as the candidates were few and the interest slight. It is doubtful if the game will ever be revived in the school. In baseball matters the school is more fortunate, the team of this year being one of the best in the history of the game in Normal. SCHEDULE. April 19. Normal, 7. Thayer Academy, IO. 4 April 22.

Audzfor MGNG the joyous sports of the Springtime which follow fast upon the peeping of frogs and are accompanied by the charming QQ music of buzzing mosquitoes We are glad to chronicle the arrival of the good old game of tennis. Messrs. Davis and Smith have marked out eight courts, which are in great demand by lovers of the game. It is a pretty sight to see a number of players on our beautiful campus. The richly colored and short trimmed grass forming a pleasing background for the bright costumesof those engaged in the game. Tennis is a branch of athletics in which there has always been considerable interest here in school and We hope that there will be an increase rather than a diminution of that vigor. As an exercise for the muscles and a recreation for the brain few games excel tennis. While from a scientific standpoint it is a game in which skill, activity and judgment are developed to a great extent. QAnd just think, all ye bashful ones-only twenty-five cents a yearj We Would that the courts were in better condition. The majority of them are very uneven and much cut up. A heavy horse-roller would work Wonders, and the club would perform a very profitable transaction to go to the slight ex- pense of having this done. It used to be the custom to have tennis tournaments at various times during the season. These are excellent devices for arousing and maintaining an in- terest in the game. We should like to see something of that kind now. Let us sincerely trust that there will he no more talk of abolishing the tennis club. If there is, let all lovers of the sport rally and hasten to champion the cause, and with the true spirit and loyalty which should animate all our ac- tivities cry with us- Long live all good old Normal organizations, long livc tcnnisf' 4559 0UT:DOORS. - -X-S-S'k'K'k-k'k'S-ki 5-J-I-E div! . . . ae.,2f5f.2-f.2'f2'F2f2f.zF.zfzQ5s12Qa22Qs.2's2siQ6e'S?

The post and the pillars, the pairs that stood by them, The steps and the walk where the soft moonlight fell, The door of Old Normal, the brilliant light nigh it, And e'en the rude sound of the seven o'clock bell. The good old piazza, the rail-bound piazza, The roomy piazza, we all loved so well. That staunch old piazza we hailed as a treasure For often at night-time, our frugal meal past, We found it the source of exquisite pleasure, We only regretted the fun couldn't last. How keenly we sought it with cheeks that were glowing, And quickly our favorite corners we filled, But soon came the ominous step of the watchman, And swiftly we scattered, defeated and chilled. The haunted piazza, the well-watched piazza, The fated piazza, where bright hopes were killed. A geology trip may be recommended as a capital way of combining business with pleasure. The business part comes in when you scratch your best boots all up with deceitful young brambles, in your enthusiastic endeavors to explore an esker, or when trying to jump over a stone wall gracefully with a long skirt on. These slight inconveniences are, however, more than offset by the enjoyment you obtain in finding out how much you don't know about geological features, and in trying to untangle some remnants of confused ideas you have as to the C575 characteristics of diabase, diorite, amygdaloidal melaphyr and other rocks much more unassuming than their names. A trip is also a tip-top appetite restorer, for something about the exhilarating walk, the pleasant company and all, makes you feel like a yawning chasm in the interior, and even stale gingersnaps and out-of-date cookies become sweet and dainty morsels. Geology trips also develop a marvelous fam!!-finding tendency which is a dz! in the right direction. These are but few of the manypleasant and ' instructive features-r accompanying a typical walk of this kind. Cf all the jolly places for a good time, says one of our correspondents, the campus is the best. It affords every variety of amusement, from watching the flirtations of the pollywogs to cheering yourself hoarse over a basket-ball match. Then such adroitness, such gracefulness as the amateur tennis players exhibit to the gaze of all beholders! For one to whom the dollar is almighty, lucrative employment may be found in digging dandelion greens to be preserved for digestion in the future. To a lover of Nature, the time may be spent profitably by making a mental note of the number of leaves on each individual tree, or an exact calculation of the variation in length, breadth and thickness of the same. If one wishes to recall former seasons at the seashore, all that is necessary is to stand on the banks of the pond and listen to what the wild waves are saying. There are no awe-inspiring signs which confine you to the walks, nor are there any blue-coated members of society ready to seize your coat-sleeve if you dare tread gingerly on the velvety turf. Altogether it's a free, happy place where you can get your money's worth. T 4585 ECHOES FROM No. 23. I have not art to reckon my gowns. O, that this too, too solid flesh would melt.
