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.

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!
