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.
