,THE NORMAL GFFERING I7 The cup also we bequeath to you, but not before the name Seniors IQO2 is engraved upon it. We hate to leave without making our mark, however, next year we feel that Seniors IQO3 will find their name beside ours. In Reading we can only hope that you will be as successful as we. That was certainly our forte, for either in teaching, The pen is black, or in Shy- lock's coarse, rough tones hurling bitter epithets at Antonio we excelled. We were also perfectly at ease in our work with gestures, being equally as good orator as patron or saint. However, dear juniors, we feel that you are fast learning the ways of Nor- mal and that we are leaving a class behind us that, coming into our places, will take up the work where we have left it, Push forward, go onward and upward until you, too, are ready to leave the dear Normal and take up your life-work in the outside world. The only thing we fear for you, and that only for a part, is your leaving your life in Normal for that in Tillinghast. Beware! change your ways l Take the advice of the Seniors, speak only in whispers, retire promptly at 9.55 arising only upon hearing the 630 bell. A safe precaution would be to wear tennis shoes during your sojourn in that hall. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. With these suggestions as safeguards we wish you as happy a Senior year as we have enjoyed. A word to the wise is sufficient. I Mem bers.

AST September, twenty-seven individuals, twenty-four women and three men, the majority experienced teachers, found them- selves irresistibly drawn toward Bridgewater Normal School, B S Each honestly believed that the desire for knowledge was the flats impelling force, but- Oh wad some power the giftie gie us To see oursel's as others see us! - the feminine portion of the class was informed by knowing juniors and Seniors that Specials come to Normal for solace, the special class being the meeting place of disappointed women I We meekly listened, wisely shook our heads, but said nothing fthat is, outside of our own circlej. The fixrst real difficulty that confronted us was the making out of programs. As we carefully thought over what the various courses had to offer, still the wonder did grow how one small head could carry all one wanted to know, but, remembering that with subjects as with men The unknown are better than the ill-knownf' we decided to limit ourselves to such branches as we were tolerably sure of mastering. A For the first twenty weeks a great deal of our time and attention was de- voted to Psychology. As we listened to Mr. Boyden day after day, our chosen profession took on added dignity and we could not but feel 'that we would be better teachers for having come under his inspiring and invigorating influence. Early in the winter, feeling the need of a little diversion, we decided to have a class social. Thanks to the strenuous efforts made by our president, we had a most delightful gathering shortly after the Christmas vacation. Then, too, in Woodward, where the majority of the disappointed ones were domiciled we had many pleasant times. One of the most noteworthy was
