Each year sees some gain made, although it may be greater some years than others. This past year is one that will be long remembered. Besides T 'L 'i many smaller changes, two improvements stand out conspicuous- lyg the one is the gymnasium, the other the electric plant. Mr. Boyden can now, after years of hard toil, see his plans for the gymnasium realized. Last fall the work commenced, but owing to the severity of the weather and the frequent snow storms, the work was greatly delayed. Now everything is being pushed forward with great vigor. All hope to see it so far completed that it may be used for the Biennial dinner in J une. The accompanying cut will give a better idea of the building than can be given in a few words. 4 The electric plant now gives us better light than that received from the town. It has made possible the purchase of three stereopticon lanterns. One is used in physics in connection with the experiments. .The second is used in the Geography Room. lVlfr. Sinnott has had slides prepared and now gives illustrated talks in geography and geology. The third is used in the Eng- lish Room, where,Miss Emerson gives her classes illustrated talks on the homes of the authors studied, or on places well known in literature. Two of these lanterns may be put together in Assembly lflall , and a powerful lantern is ready for the stereopticon lectures in that room. 7 Class Bfs hand bound books one result of the study of architectuie weie Sl1ONVll at tl1e Aits and Ciafts Exhibition held 1n the Biidgewatei .Down Hall duiin hebiuaiy lhis woik showed so111e knowledge of plllllllllg, illus trating and book bindino tl11ee ciafts wh1cl1 have a place in public school cuiiicull Cthei ciafts einbioidery, oaiving, n1odell1ng loasketry, 11on work a1e being iecognmed as offeiing such educatianal advantages that tl1ey aie iapidly becoming a pait of the iegulai woik Cui knowledge of d1aw111g e11ables us, as teachers, to begin intelligent piactice 111 ally of these ciafts which we infiy be iequned to teach 'll19 woik of Class B 1813198611158 one of the fOl1l1S of fut thiough wh1cl1 childien may be led 111l3O keenei app1ec1at1on of the life giving PONVGl 111 tl1e woild s gieatest alt The stude11ts iepiesented weie Miss ltstes Miss Kimball Miss Heisey, M1 s Janieson Miss Hadley, and Miss folnian St1l1,afte1 yeais of waiting Normal has no school song You, who havea xivid in1agination,a11d you, who l1ave.not,s1t down a11d let your tl1ougl1ts dv ell on No1n1al' foi a l1ttle Peihaps EL11lI1S1JllELlJlO11 111ay con1e ito you Who knowsl Miss Piince has kindly offeied to have a good school song set to appropiiate inusic ' fhe Offering wishes to congiatulate the N oi mal Club on its unsui passed success of the past yea1 Its enteitaininents have been fai bettei than i11 tl1e past It hopes to see tl1e Club take a11othe1 step 111 advance next yeai lhe idea of the Editoiial Boaid in having just the oiitlceis of tl1e Noiinal Club in a picture by tl1e1nselves was to sl1ow tl1e1n as inuich honor as possible.

While in College he specialized. in Gf?O10SYg,aUd served under Prof. Shaler as Assistant onthe Geological Surveylof Eastern Massachusetts, his work being primarily on Glacial and Tertiary Geology. O11 the completion of his course at Harvard, Sinnott was elected to the Chair of Physics in Pratt Institute. Preferring Normal School work, he refused this oiyfer, and went to he 'GB3,Cll6l' of Mathematics and Science in the Milwaukee Normal Scl1ool. His Work developed rapidly there, as the school l l d nd fift ' He Soon dropped the Mathema- grew from sixty to three iunc re a y. tics, and taught only the Advanced Sciences, having an Assistant for the ' ' ' ' 1 ' ' h. l'd much Institute Elementary Courses in Science.

He was also on the Executive Board of the Vilisconsin State Teachers' Association, was Secretary of the South-Eastern Wisconsin Teachers' Association and a member of the IVisconsin Academy of Science. A In 1897 he was called, to this school as instructor in Geology, Geography and Physiology. Since that time many interesting departmental changes have been made. The Geography course is now preceded by the course in Elementary Geology. In the two years' course the work extends throughout the year, by giving alternately three weeks to the Geography, and three weeks to the Practice during the last half of the year. The field workin Geography and Geology has been increased, and valuable lantern slidesare used in con- nection with all the scientilic work. ' ' . A A - Mr. Sinnott's course in Geography has for seven successive years been given by him at the Summer Session of the Hyannis Normal school. The work consists of eighty periods, covering live weeks time, and is followed by examinations 'leading to a Normal School diploma. In 1897 Mr. Sinnott was chief' collaborator in preparing First Lessons in Elementary Science,'7 a practical text-book whichis in use in the ninth grade of the Model School. He has also found time to write various articles for scientilic magazines. Mr. Sinnott has been President of the Plymouth County Teachers? Asso- ciation. For the last two years he has rendered efficient ser-vice as President of the Normal Club. In this capacity he has strengthened the policy already adopted of securing at the lowest possible prices the best possible literary, musical and social entertainments for the Club. Wfhile allowing the commit- tees great freedom in in-rking and executing their plans, he' has been ready with practical advice when it was called for. He has been helpful,,too, in advancing the interests of the Normal Cffei-ing, published under the auspices. of the Club. y His genuine interest in his work and in his pupils, his I genial manner, his clear thought and accurate expression, and his loyalty to truth are also recognized and appreciated.

My originators weredistinguished fortheir philanthropy and the courage of their convictions. A, My first' godfather was Horace - A Mann, the iirst Secretary of the Massachusetts Boardof Educa- tionf .His associate 'sponsors were the first members ofthe Board, men widely known, Gov. Edward Everett, James G. Carter,'Rev. Emerson Davis, Rev. Edward A, Newton, Robert Rantoul Jr., Rev. Thomas Robbins, Jared Sparks, and Edmund Dwight who paid one-third the expenses of my sup+ port the first three years of my life. Other prominent friends of my advent were Rev. Charles Brooks, Hon. John Quincy Adams, Hon. Daniel lVebster, Honf Artemas 'Hale, Rev. George Putnam, and Tchabod Morton who said, Ulf the kingdom of heaven is to comeion the earth it will come through the Noi-nialschoolo.'7 I A ' o A A Nearly two years were spent in the vain endeavor to raise 310,000 to erect a new home for me. Then the town of Bridgewater gave the use of its- old 'Town Hall for my. home, and here I was born on Sept. 9, 1840. Twenty-one young women and seven young men were present to welcome me. My mother was the necessity for better teachers in the public schools of the State. My father was Nicholas Tillinghast, a native of Taunton, Mass., and a graduate of the United States Military Academy at NV est Point, in which he had been an Assistant Professor for four years. He had resigned his commission in the army and was teaching in Boston when he was selected by Horace Mann to bring me into being and establish my life. He was thirty- five years of age at this time. ' The Committee of the Board who reported rules and regulations for the government of the first Normal Schools had an interesting conception of what the head of the Normal School should be. They said in their report, I7 'I l s for the internal discipline classifi- 'WVe will not undertake to prescri is ru c. L - , cation and order of study of the School. Wle want at the head of every 7 ' . . . school a man of such energy and skill, that having furnished hnn with school- house Scholars and ZLPPM-atrrs, and a bare outline of our plans and wishes, J ' F U we can trust him to say with the Principal of the Haarlem School, 'I am the Code, there is no other! And indeed there is no other that will accomplish our designs in a manner satisfactory to the public and to the benefactors of the Normal Schools. My father was a man of rare power of discernment, of singular purity of spirit, of marked aptitude for teaching, of most accurate scholarship, and of entire self-abnegation. He devoted himself unsparingly to the Work of establishing my life upon a broad and deep foundation. He said, HMy idea of a Normal School is that it should have a term of four years, that those studies should be pursued that will lay a jbzmzlution on which to build an education. The number of studies should be comparatively small, but much time should be given to them. The teacher should be so trained as to be above his text books. Whatever has been done in teaching in all countries, different methods, the thoughts of the best minds on the science and art of instruction should be laid before the neophyte teachers. ln a proper Normal School there should be departments, and the ablestmen put over them each in his own department. ilfVho knows more than one branch zz.-c1I?'f I was an experiment the first three years of my life, but I had so much vitality at the end of this period thatlmy lease of life was renewed for three years more, and when this lease expired, l was adopted by the State, and christened the Bridgewater State Normal School. At this time the friends of Horace Mann, as an expression of their appreciation of his labors in behalf of the common schools, contributed 3552500 and secured an equal appropriation from the legislature, which with the liberal co-operation of the town of Bridge- water and its citizens, provided a permanent home for me in the lirst State Normal building erected in America. Dr. George B. Emerson was a wa.r1n friend of the school, he contributed the furnaces for this new building. My ,father wrought for me for thirteen years, several terms in this period he taught without any assistant. Failing health compelled him to resign his charge. His work was taken up and carried forward in the same spirit for the next seven years by Marshall Conant, A. M., f1Fatlie1- Cgllglutu as hg was affectionately called by his pupils, a native of l'omfret, Vermont, who was fifty-three years of age when he came to this position from the varied life of an engineer, an author, and a teacher. The crowning traits of his Cl12LI'ELCl3CI' W61'6 his love of trutll 3,11Cl lllS fitltllg ll!! Sought the trlllzh with his I8 'x whole soul. ,His whole mind and strength were given to his teaching. He threw into his life the poetry of pure and holy motive. By his fidelity, his enthusiasm, and the inspiration ,of his life he constantly drew his pupils to higher fields of thought and life. Declining health made it necessary for Mr. Conant to resign his office, and Albert G. Boyden, the present principal, was appointed to conduct my life. He is a native of South IValpole, Mass., was trained to a good physique and the habit of work on the farm and in the blacksmith shop of his father. He has striven since he was fourteen years of age to qualify himself to be a true teacher. This has been the ambition of his life. He was a graduate of this school under Mr. Tillinghast, was three years an assistant teacher with him, one term an assistant with Mr, Conant, then three years principal of the .English High School of, Salem, Mass., one year Sub-master of the Chap- man Grammar School, Boston, and then three years first assistant with Mr. Conant. In his service as assistant in this school and in his four years' teaching elsewhere he had taught nearly all the branches of study in the Nor- mal School course, which fitted him to take hold intelligently of the conduct of my life. He was thirty-three years of age when he entered upon his prin- cipalship and has directed my life in harmony with the spirit and principles of my father. I The number of different assistant instructors who have taken part in the unfolding of my life is eighty-ive, eleven of whom served under the first principal, thirteen of them served under the second, and sixty-eight have served under the third. Twenty-four of the latter have served in the Model School. Seven of these assistants have become principals of Normal Schools. Eliza B. Woodward, the first permanent lady assistant, served from 1857 to 1887. My course of study is the outcome of the study, observation, and experis ence of all my instructors from the beginning of my life to the present time. It has grown like a great tree spreading its roots and branches wider each. year. In 1846 it extended through three consecutive terms of fourteen weeks each, in 1855 it was made three consecutive terms of twenty weeks each, in 1865, four consecutive terms of twenty weeks each, in 1869 the four years' course was established. I now offer the regular course of four years and live other courses,-the Elementary, Intermediate, Kindergarten, Post-graduate, and Special course for experienced teachers. I The last thirteen years we have had the Central Village School in our building as a school of observation and practice for the Normal students. The average attendance per term for the first ten years of my life was fifty-three, for the last four years it has been two hundred andsixty-five.

The residence halls provide a happy, social, home life conducive to the best preparation for teaching, and the out-door conditions are most favor- able to health and strength. ' , I have been a school for co-education from the beginning, combining the strength, beauty and goodness of both sexes. , I have received 5269 pupils, 1330 men, 3939 women. And have graduated 34285 8'84Lmen, 2544 women. 65 per cent. of all in' attendance have been graduated. Careful returns show that 95 per cent. of my pupils have engaged in teaching, and the total of their work aggregates 30,000 years of teaching. I A - My graduates have gone forth into all the lines of educational work from the rural school to the Secretaryship -of the State Board of Education. They are today teaching in all the grades of public schools. Xearly sixty of them are at the present time Masters or Sub-masters in the grammar schools of Boston Fourteen have become principals in Normal Schools. Thirteen are at' this time public school superintendents of this State. Others have passed from teaching into the professions of law, medicine and theology, and many others aremaking homes which are centresof power and iniluence for good in the life of this and other States. A T .My life thus far has been, and 1 trust it will always continue to be, an ever widening stream of influence for good in this good old Commonwealth of Massachusetts. My graduates have wrought on every continent and i11 the islands of the sea. My founders builded better than they knew. 20 be Mew Secretary of the State' 1IBoarb of Ebucation . UR 'SCHOOL has been 'highly honored by the appointnient of one of its alunini, George H. Martin of Lynn, to the oiiice of Secretary of the State Board of Education. 'His nanre is enolled with those of Horace Mann, Bai-nas Sears, George S. lioutwell, I Joseph XVhite, John NV. Dickinson, and ' Frank A. Hill, who have successively held this honorable office since the appointment of the Board in the year 1837. Mr. Martin was instructor in this School for eighteen years, then an agent of the State Board of Education for ten years, and for the last twelve years he has been one of the supervisors of the public schools of Boston. ,His character, ability, and varied experience give hini peculiar iitness for the important position he now holds. An interesting article from his pen upon the Tuskegee Normal School will be found upon another page of the Offering.

If he can spend an evening there, he will rind every class-room full of earnest, attentive young men and women who have been working all day in the shop or on the farm. These are persons who are too poor to pay the expenses of the regular course, but who are allowed credit for their labor so that after a time they may take up the regular work. Most of the academic Work done by these students is quite elementary. But there is some high grade Work done in the regular course. I Was much impressed by some delicate analytical work in chemistry carried on by a class of girls in training for nurses. An exercise in geometry, too, was quite equal to anything I have seen in northern high schools. The thinking Was clear and accurate, and the spirit of the class-room vvas unusually kindly and cheerful. The industrial work is splendidly done. Every phase of industrial life which the needs of the community call for is exhibited. The heads of the departments and the men and women in charge of the special shops are highly trained specialists, graduates of normal schools or colleges, or technical students. s For the men there are carpentry and house-building, cabinet work, wagon- building, harness-making, upholstery, tin-smithing, tailoring, blacksmithing, forge and lathe work and farm work. For the women there are cooking, dress- making, inillinery, laundry work, poultry-raising and dairy Work. The buildings are large and substantial, all built by the students, and scrupulously clean. All the domestic work, as well as the farm work, is done by the students. The farm contains 2,600 acres, and is rapidly being brought under higher cultivation. The boys learn road-making, tree-planting and care, the care of stock, as well as the ordinary processes of agriculture. All this is on :J based on a thorough scientiiic course. i A most impl-essive sight is the chapel gathering, the last exercise each 1 Ab t 1 '00 students and teachers gather for a brief devotional exer- cise One has not heard the plantation melodies until he has heard them sung voices with 1,el.00 more for the refrain. day.

The following graduates are studying at Harvard: Pellissier, '03, Carroll, '03, Leonard, '023 1 ' 0 ' Packard, '01, Gannnons, '01, Armstrong, '02, Matossian, '03 is at Yale. MacKendrick, Savary, Tilley, and Perry, who have been with us for a yea.r or inore, are studying at Harvard. 'From two to three years' credit has been given by the Lawrence Scientiiie School to our graduates. This generous treatment by Harvard is greatly appreciated and we are very glad to see our young inen responding to it. NVe are also glad to hear, as we d.o from various sources, that the work done by the Bridgewater graduate has been of suehx a character as to justify the credits given. Those who are planning for arvard in the future will no doubt feel themselves under obliga- tions to sustain the good reputation thus far maintained in order that the pre- sent cordial relations existing between Harvard and Bridgewater may be continued, That the work of the boys at Harvard is not over monotonous would seein to be indicated by the spirit of their e01mmmiw,13i011 found else- where in the Offering. Their visits to Bridgewater'will always be most Welcome. . .24 4 i Y' 0? Q. 3 E is i- Y ,. u. la Jn rl ff: E l lr if gk A' it 6 if 's w. rJ 'f ,l' ..

The 7 S. I. ,, .assi peg If -'QQDQ ' -5 1 . . choruses by the school, f'Come Fairies, trip it o'er the grass,' and f'Daybreak, were very pleasing and excellently rendered. The address was delivered by Rev. Charles H, Beale, D. D., of Roxbury. His theme, f'Education, was treated broadly, and in its applications to experience, furnished many suggestive and valuable thoughts. We may regard every event of life as having a beneficent educative power, if we will heed the lesson. The wise ma.n is he who learns to extract from every small annoy- ance, every grievous affliction, its compensating discipline. In this temper, disheartened by no failure, challenging each day to give us its deepest mean- ing, ,we may meet the worst ills dauntless and unmoved. . Hlt matters not how straight the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of. my fate, I am the captain of .,myN'soul. The diplomas were presented by the Principal, who in his address to the graduates emphasized the influence of thought upon character. lVe are no better than the imaginings of our hearts. Our silent thoughts are the founda- tion of all we are, all we achieve. Mr. Carroll presented to the school as the gift of the graduating classes, two interesting pictures, HThe Choice of the Casketsjfainl 'fThe Meeting of Dante and Beatricef' Mingled with the bright mood of the hour was a graver thought., the memory of a voice that is still. The loss of Mrs. Palmer was felt as a new and poignant regret, as we remembered the many similar occasions on which her presence had been a. delight and an inspiration. Let us rejoice that the light of inspiration does not fade when the hunian life is withdrawn from our sight. 25 lt is a pleasant custom that has recently been adopted, of adding the traditional ivy-planting as an afternoon ceremony. After the Seniors and Juniors had marched in procession to the West side of the school building, the exercises were as follows,-oration, Edna Scott, poem, Hattie B. Grover, history, Linna Ferrer, prophecy, Sara Allen, presentation of spade to juniors, Blanche Brickett, acceptance, Arthur French, singing by Seniors, A new event this year was a pleasant reception given by the four-year classes after the ivy, exercises. It was held in the gymnasium, and was an enjoyable feature of the day. The usual promenade concert was given in the evening in Assembly Hall.

She was forced to change her opinion, however, since it was decided that the instance which she cited was probably that of a child to whom lying was habitual. The peculiar thing about the whole matter was that it was discovered that she was the child. Good things never seem to last long enough, so Class A had to leave the workin which they had taken much interest and begin other work. Now, Class A, few as they already were, separated. Some of the Class preferred to become more perfect in the art of reading and in the knowledge of the heavenly bodies Qthis latter portion being composed mostly of ladies who are no doubt more interested in the stars than are the gentlemenb while others chose rather to toil morning, noon, and night endeavoring to solve weighty problems in analytical Geometry and Trigonometry. These subjects did not appeal to the ladies, which was a very fortunate coincidence, since they after- ward learned how unscientific their minds were. At' this time, there came a change in the usual quiet routine of Class A, and a meeting was called to consider what should be done by Class A in re- gard to certain irregulars, waifs lost in a great city. Out of kindness and generosity, Class A decided to gather them into its fold and make them in body, if not in spirit, members of its ranks. After the April vacation they were very busy preparing for gradua- tion and the many events attending thereon. On that great occasion each member must look his best, and receive his friends who have come to praise and criticise as beiits a member of Class A. Class A will face the ordeal, and, like those who havenpreceded, will come out victorious, leaving Alma Mater, and beginning the new life better, wiser, and truer men and women for having spent four years at B.

He wondered as W, ,,g he blew, travelling many miles, jvlf gli A A Whither so many youths and ,ff - A r . . . . ' i- ' maidens were going. Finally he L, I came to some imposing X t looking buildings, and saw 4 that he was really at the Q: A' ,qi Bridgewater Normal ii., 'V L... if School. He saw many icy maidens greeting one im 'mmm' 2' another, as after a long separation, and he thought he saw among them, here and there, a youth, but he was not certain as to that. il The lVest lVind lingered here for many days. He rejoiced to See the 31 happy faces. He regretted to see the heavy burdens with which many started to school in the morning, but by listening he found it was only the class of 1904 carrying their drawing boxes and history reference books. This West lVind saw them rowing on Carvers, walking through the woods, playing tennis on the campus, and best of all shouting at the foot-ball games. The days went by and winter' came and still happiness reigned. ' As the winter advanced, the lVest Winddeparted, and the East Wlind came blowing in. The most mysterious maladies began to iloat about. In every seemingly harmless thing some evil lurked. To add to other troubles, an epidemic of the' measles started and even seniors were stricken down. A fitting climax came. The seniors had been proud to say that in their class there were two youths and one of them the president of the class. And now the president deserted them and no inducements had the power to move him from his decision. He had been earnest in his work as president and the class appreciated him and were loth to have him resign. Yet the best was made of it and an able president elected. ln the class meeting preparatory for graduation, much hurried business was transacted. In these class meetings a proper spirit of inquiry 'was shown, in one meeting an earnest seeker after knowledge asked who was to take the class picture for the Normal Offering. On being told a certain Boston photographer, she was horriiied at the idea of- thewhole class having to go in a body to Boston. She showed great relief upon finding that in this case the city came to the town instead of the town going to the city. A ' T After the winds came a calm. The seniors began to realize that their course was nearly over. They had been earnestyworkers, in fact many of them were enthusiasts' in their zeal. They might well beproud of many things credited to them. They had been leaders in some things and in many they had been good followers. In their junior year they had shown the ability to grow and to hold on to good qualities. Though defeated in basket ball they had persevered and this year had shown an undaunted spirit to the Sections. . Their regard for B. N. S. has grown with every succeeding day, and they know' that, no matter what they do in the future, their services for B. N. S. will always be small compared with what it has done for them. They have learned to get more out of their work and more out of their pleasure-. Perhaps the thing for which they are most thankful is the sure foundation the Bridgewater Normal School has given them. Though in the future it may sometimes seemthat ideals they have cherished are too lofty and even imprac- tical, a little thought sent back to lives of those with whom they lived for two short years will tell them that ideals can never be too high.

The days and weeks sped so rapidly that just when we were fairly settled, as it seemed, preparations were begun for Coninienceinent, and- we realized that soon we should come again to the parting of the ways. A backward glance assures us that this year has been one of growth, of strengthening 37 if B r l I -. -eq-... i a i I, l r i r E I 1 I V Y r I - rl 'F 5 if L of character, of awakening to new responsibilities and better ideals in the life-work we have chosen. lVhat has the future in ,Store for us? It is ours to make or mar. Can we reasonably expect continued growth and the realization of the lofty ideals we have Set before us? Surely we can, if we have the spirit which actuates the true teacher-the spirit of living for others, of seeking to make other lives richer and fuller through our service. ctw 112011 60 Rockland St., Fall River.

Y ' ' three years have E.. , 1 passed, each apparently with greater i l . , TI A speed than the preceding! But a Ea 'Q -A 'L K ' brief time it seems since we returned 1'f'Ti4 wma :.baB, last fall, to resuine our Work, inter- -lb A 'n 1, 4, , ' . an W' 'mr 9 rupted by the pleasant sunnner holi- days. Upon our return, We found that two of the class were not to continue their work with us. VVe were further decreased in nuinber by the with- drawal of those pursuing the three years course, who had previously recited With us in inany studies. ' The restraint of school, after the freedom of vacation, was greatly lessened by the fact that one branch of study required us to spend part of the session in the open air. Every pleasant day We provided ourselves with stools and wraps, and went forth, accompanied by our teacher, on a sketching expedition. To inany of us this was new work, and at the start we found it difficult, yet it offered us inuch enjoyinent. 39 B W e realized the great principle, that at all times there must be either advangenqent 01' a retrogression. To any one who had seen our first sketches it would be clearly manifest that only the former course could be possible. This realization gave us courage to maintain an increasing Vendeavor. After about three weeks the weather rendered it feasible to discontinue this line of work. It was then a source of pleasure to us to know that we truly had advanced, for our lilac bushes were no longer mistaken for grass, nor our trees for haystacks, a thing which has previously occurred. . Vile shall not soon forget our experiences in Room 29. Evidently we were not all adapted to the branchof learning pursued there. Vllhenever we all were in our places before time for recitation-which frequently was not the case-our instructor employed a few moments in relating briefly some interest- ing incident. One day he told us of a distinguished man who said that in all his experience he never knew but one person endowed with atrul y mathemati- cal mind and that this person was deficient in all other branches. After relating this our instructor remarked that it might be a-source of comfort to some of us. No doubt he was fully justified in his opinion that we needed' such comfort. lt was in this class -that Mr. S--ler showed the possession of Hexper- ience with the subtle compassmentof with so essential to the understanding of Algebraic Proportion. However, we did not allow the young men to acquire all the fame. One young woman, at least, became famous, for who has not heard of Miss Herky's 'fremarkable celerity in proving fallaciesn not to mention her practical remarks. A question was raised concerning the com- pleteness of a proof, the questioner not realizing that axioms need no proof. Miss Her--y took the defensive and silenced her opponents by stating that ff anyone with an atom of common sense would know how to prove that. Vile proved many very pretty theorems and learned many truths in f'Elemen- tary Algebra, yet we felt -that the value of the term's work lay not chiefly in the acquisition of facts, nor even in the mental discipline, but in the awakened desire to delve into the depths of mathematical knowledge. For some members of the class, Room 29 has other interesting associa tions, for there the Physics class assembled, composed of the young men of Class B., with Miss Hles as sole iiepi-esenuative of the young women. From rumors, we learned of Uthe symphony orchestram organized by them while studying sound. Without doubt we shall hear more of this musical society in the future. . In the English class Mr. Fr-an has shown remarkable power in expressing his thoughts elfectively. ln retelling the Courtship of Miles Standish, he gave us a most vivid picture of the lirst conversation of John and 40 ' Priscilla. Concerning J ohn's action we learned that 'fhe took all sorts of shapes .to persuade her, moreover that his words Htook Priscilla kind of sudden. Later in his brief? talk he pictured to us the Mayflower Hsteaming out of the harbor. As a class we have not always been noted for our industry, yet we knew that our spirit of diligence was increasing, and hence werehnot surprised to hear Miss Mer-t say 'fMiss Jameson is a regular Bee. ' At the beginning of the spring term, we entered upon our iirst work in connection with th'e Model School. We were acquainted with labratory work in several lines of study, and considered ourselves competent to observe. Onlya short time, however, was needed to convince us of our mistake, for this ffhigher kind of laboratory work required a keener, more delicate power of observation than we had yet acquired. We trust that this power will grow like all which we earnestly strive to possess. .

M 2, ' Normal bchool with ' -- - - ' -IIIIM the same feeling and under the -same conditions encountered by many other classes whose histories you have read, although we were led to believe by many who had preceded us, that we were an unusually deep shade of freshman green. ' But such color always fades before Normal light , and probably ours will become the deeper red. ' The first night was one of fear and awe, and all .felt like the ffstranger in a strange land. -But we soon became acquainted, all the other students spoke kindly to us and made us feel quite at home, while Mr. O B--n, the J uniors, Hkind adviser, indicated the many difficulties that would be ours and pointed out the paths of right to us. The first ten weeks were full of extraordinary adventures. One and all became victims of that ffshaky feeling, which is the bane of each Junior in his first experience as a teacher before his class. The elementary psychology class WELS H SOHPCG of great interest' to all. There we were informed by one of our number, that an animal which produced her young by eggs was an 'fin- cubator, which seemed a characteristically brilliant definition. When one of 42 us had forethought enough to ask, Are we to skip mountains if we cannot teach them? we received this answer, No, that would be to much of a jump. It was also in this class that we had many exciting discussions, and learned much of value, so that to all the last lesson came too soon. The general exercises were a novel experience to us. From them we were surprised to find how little we really know of our surroundings. r Some very curious facts were brought to light each day. While in thedeep intricacies of geometry we learned from our little New Jersey girl that Mass- achusetts eggs are quite different from those of her ownstate-in shape, at least. One unusual definition was given in the music class. A chair is a combination of pieces of wood made for one person to sit on. In the indus- trial laboratory, we were taught to rival our brothers in the use of the saw and plane. But most exciting by far were the hours spent in the physical laboratory. There we were given an opportunity to exercise our common CPD sense and many of us were doomed to find it a minus quantity. W'e have not had all fun however. lVe spent many hours in hard study and found it indeed Ha weariness of the flesh . Yet, so high was our pur- pose in coming here that it made us idealize our Normal life , and help us bear easily the exertion necessary to the attainment of our common goal. 0:1365 'IROII Benedict, Herbert Hawthorne North Abington Farwell, Jennie Asenath Brockton Randall, Cyril Franklin Quincy Point Faxon, Corinne Mae Brookville Adams, Nellie Elizabeth South Duxbury Fearing, Laura Shaw South Weymouth Bake, Norma Isabelle Somerville Fisher, Agnes Amelia Woburn Barker, Nellie Lizzie Bridgewater Fosdick, Kittie Maude Brockton Bassett, Grace Berkley Frost, Carrie Minette Somerville Bent, Lucinda Maria Brighton Galvin, Mary Elizabeth Taunton Bradley, Laura Sophia Springfield Gibbs, Marian Gordon Brockton Bryant, Ethel Camilla Kingston Greenleaf, Etta Eugenia Dennis Buck, Lucietta Kilborn Harrison, Me.

' - A As we assembled we found that our number had been diminished by two. We were sorry to ind this so, for our class is not so large that it can bear many such losses. However, our best wishes go with our absent mem- bers wherever their fortune may lead them, As usual, our class is composed of three and four years students, so that in many of our studies we are separated, yet we have a strong feeling of loy- alty toward all our members whetheruwe meet them in the class-room or not. At one time we rather doubted the loyalty of one member, not only to Class C but also to B. N. S., for he even had it posted that he was betting on the Brockton High School, in the foot ball game that was to be played that after- noon. He evidently realized his folly and since then has done all in his power to prove his fealty. A We have all derived great pleasure and 'profit from our work in Geology and Geography. On our. Geology trips about the town of Bridgewater, we 45 studied many of the interesting features of Sprague's Hill and the clay pits . Often times on our walks it became necessary to take to the road, though one of our members would prefer to follow a Lane. The Russian- Japanese War hag made our work in Geography even more. interesting than it would otherwise have been. lVe are assured that 4' Russia is the most diplo- matic nation on the face of the globe . Life is real, life is earnestff Truly the poet spoke well, for when we began our second lJ81'll17S work we realized that we must work in earnest if we would accomplish what we had begun. Note-books stared at us on every hand., History maps, also, claimed our attention. In Room 18 we have been learning to express our thoughts, correctly, and have acquired at least a speaking acquaintance with the great writers of prose and poetry. Perhaps our English teacher wonders why such a mischievous look comes into the eyes of one of her pupils whenever she ,refers to Dryden. In Zoology we have been studying the vari- ous forms of animal life, their functions and uses to man. One member is particularly fond of the oyster family, if we may base a conclusion on the fact that Actions speak louder than words? ' Medicine is ap good thing in its place but should be taken with discretion. Most of us know how near we came to losing one member of our class. Our class is not only well represented in the field of learning but also in the held of sports, foot-ball 'and base-ball, as well as basket-ball, claim our members and could not do without them. At the beginning of the year a Class meeting was called, at which the oflicers for the year were elected. Since then a committee have been ap- pointed to select a class pin. Their choice has been accepted by the class and we are looking forward to the time when we can show our colors. Our life during the past year has been a happy one, and, as we separate, we bid one another adieu, trusting that each one of our number will have a very pleasant vacation and will return well-rested for next year's work. 46 GIHQ5 Carter, Clarence Henry Cochituate Hooley, Michael Aloysius Dorchester Keefe, jr., John Edward South Boston King, Theodore Williams Taunton O'Brien, Frederick james South Boston O'Donnell, Frank joseph Bridgewater Abbot, Harriet Lincoln Andover Alexander, Grace Abbott Hyde Park Bagley, Anna M.

Of this nuinber a large majority boarded at the school, and these y - students were in close contact with one another for the greater , . J 1 part of the tiine. N l i of the day-students as there we evert ieless, they often enjoyed the society , re many Friday evening entertainments which ii the day-students attended also. In fact, very few were the Normal Club II entertainments from which a single nieniber of the class was absent. i' The result has been that all the nieinbers of the class are strongly aflili- il, ated, and each one has Worked so earnestly for the good of the class that we 48 i F 1 . 1 2 l I leave behind us nothing but pleasant ,memories of our first year as student teachers. It is to be regretted, however, that, at the end of so successful and pleasantly spent a year, we have not our full number with us. One of our members left us at the end of the first half term, while the secondterm had hardly commenced beforeanother was obliged by illness to discontinue her studies. r The class has been well represented in the various interests of the school, both social and athletic. The masculine portion of' the class furnished the foot-ball team, with two regular players and two substitutes, organized a class basket-ball team and promises several candidates for positions on the school baseball team. Among the-ladies, also, there is considerable athletic ability, as several of them are aspirants for the honor of aiding the Sections' team in its struggle for the coveted tournament trophy. In the line of social achieve- ments, the class furnished a large proportion of the participants in the enter- tainment given at the reception tendered by the entering classes to the rest of the school. Q At the close of the first term, when we had completed the course in music, which we all so thoroughly enjoyed, we had a delightful closing exercise in the form of a short musical program, which fully demonstrated to how great an extent we appreciated the benefits derived from this course. The other courses, also, were fully appreciated, for we spent many an enjoyable hour in drawing, or studying geometry or the languages. In the second term, algebra has taken the place of music, and most of us take chemistry, physics and mineralogy, in addition to the languages. Some, how- ever, do not take any of the languages,'but in their stead take the more advanced sciences, physiology and botany. ' We all have many pleasant recollections of our elementary psychology course, and the mere mention of psychology is suflicient to recall to our minds many- humorous incidents and happenings. As this, the second term, is drawing to a close, our thoughts turn, not to graduation, nor to the long separation of the summer vacation, but rather to the splendid outlook before us: two or three years more of this ffcongenial good-fellowship, in which we will try to work even more successfully than in the year which we are so quickly leaving behind us. Let us not ffrest on our laurels, fellow-class-mates, but strive in each succeeding year to excel the achievements of the past year, and although, in the end, theclass letter will not be HD, nevertheless, let us preserve the '4Class D spirit which has made the year 1903-4 such a pleasant one. 49 Boyden, Edward Allen Fitzgerald, joseph Andrew Flanders, Galen VValdron Garofalo, joseph Guindon, Frederick Alphonsus Hebberd, john Bailey McDonald, Leander Allan h Waldron, Chauncey Worcester Andrews, Bertha Gertrude Bagot, Ella Seaver 0:1856 Bridgewater South Boston South Boston Boston South Boston South Boston South Boston Hyde.

T VVAS' only a few years ago that the Normal Offering appeared as a pamphlet, issued monthly under the auspices of the Normal Club. Then the experiment of making it a year book was tried, and was successful. Now that we have found that the school ' demands a year book, and that it is eagerly looked forward to by all, the Offering Board have decided to put it into a form which can be kept for years without injury. The editors hope to see the board cover edition accepted by all, so that in the future years we can have a book comparable 55 to the year books of other schools and colleges. The experiment has been made, the result depends upon the support ,of the school. This year we have tried to bring about a better feeling among the students. Some-times we have heard the complaint, ' 41 didn't have a chance to do work for the Offer-ingf' It is not the purpose of the Offering Board to Write the book. Their purpose is to arrange and criticise the material passed in to them by the school. It is impossible to invite personally each one to contribute for the Offering. Instead each member of the school is expected to bring forward suggestions for improvement, articles, drawings, or anything to help on the work. It is necessary to ask a few to do special Work in order to insure some material on all lines. This does not mean that no one else can contribute. The Board are always Willing to take suggestions from any and all. In return the Board simply ask that the students shall support their efforts. i 1 l fa.. ., ol Yak gif- f .Q ' . ' at 599 I. ., we .

Sac RLT SocnE:ruE1s 1kappa Eelta num LTHOUGH our fraternity has been established only afew years we are now able to affirm it to be on stable foundations and prosperous. The only thing that is feared at present is that the small number of men in school will necessarily make its growth very slow. The meetings of the fraternity this year have been well attended and we have spent many happy even- ings, together - Perhaps the most important addition to our fraternity program is the occurrence of a yearly banquet in Boston. This year it was held April 9th at the American House, and about twenty-five members were present. VVe are indebted to Messrs. Leonard and Lowe, who were the committee in charge of the affiair, for its success. During the evening we enjoyed the splendid banquet, the toasts, and the general discussion after the banquet.

At the beginning of the D year, sixteen new members were admitted, after having bravely taken their preliminaries. One of our number, we are sorry to A say, has been obliged to withdraw from her school and social life until- the coming year. Then she will return to help those who are left to carry on the work of Lambda Phi. One other of our charter members and two of our Juniors have left, but they are not forgotten. Although many misfortunes have befallen our members during the year, there have been many good times. Our iirst annual banquet was held Feb. 27th in Normal Hall, and it was one that will remain in our memory, 'fin violet77 forever. ' Many ,signs appear on the bulletin boards, from which we hope to see good results. May many be helped by the faithful workers of the Lambda Phi! 6Q Ellpba Gamma llbbi v LPHA GAMMA PHI is no longer in its infancy, but is enjoying - its second year to the utmost. Four new people joined us this year and they ffran the gauntlett' with marvellous courage to - the end. WVitl1 them fear was a thing unknown. Meetings ' have been held at least weekly, and our very busy seasons were made especially pleasant by planning to include other ' members of the school in our social functions. The first tea was a success, and socially we felt nearer to the teachers than ever before. . The members of Lambda Phi gave us much pleasure in accepting our invitation to a musical, when Miss Maude Littlefield of Wobu1'i1 and Miss Ethel Boyden of Bridgewater entertained us with violin and piano selections. The second banquet of Alpha Gamma Phi was held April 9th, 5 04, VV e hope the toasts reached the absent members that they may know we did not forget them. 2 Several readings have been held and we hope to gain much from the study of great men and women who have lived broad, cultured and practical lives.

Treasurev' A I-IE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION has conducted its baseball and - football teams through another year of successful work. Both I teams have Worked faithfully and deserve great praise for what I they have accomplished. VVe look forward in the future to ' ' having a track team, and have bright prospects of securing as high a place in that as We have in the other two lines. The Association wishes to take this opportunity to thank the young ladies of the school, first, for their generous encouragement given during the games, and second, for their financial support. Both have been greatly appreciated by players and managers. 63 1 l l 3 1 l 1 i l i 1 5 1 T i 1 1 1 i i fi 5 ! f E 5 l. 1 l L il 1 ii ii 1 l 1 li 1 1 1 ii f x ' . ll 1 ll l I , iffy? ll I B N 5 .

No Normal team in recent 'years has K l 11 ' lllilfltl a better record than this year's, and few can claim good, when the calibre of the opposing teanisnis considered., The support accorded to the team was a credit to those who gave it, and they werenot few in nuniher. There is nothing which indicates a. good school spirit more clearly than this eyidence on tl1e part .of the school of its interest in the fortunes of the school teams. The Friends School game afforded a. shining example of good school spirit, for in. spite of the pouring rain which lasted throughout the game, a delegation of about 150, mostly girls, stayed on tl1e iield fromltlie liegnining to the e11d of the contest and yelled themselves hoarse,-a very praiseworthy performance indeed, although it was of no avail. ' I The line physical condition of the team, as well as' its excellent record was due to the skillful training and untiring personal attention of Captg U,Bl'l9ll, who besides playing a brilliant game at left half-back, was always ready and willing to give his men valuable hints as to how they could improve their play, and keep themselves in good condition, , - P' The members of this year's' graduating class continued the fine showing on the athletic iield which has always marked their class. M iller, 704, played a grand game at right end. His steady defensive play, and l1is brilliant ' I P 1 I , , . , 5 . , 4 V I 1. ' N 1 . , ., ,X x .1 , 4 , 1 g x , f.- 1 dashes with the ball, which resulted in so many touchdowns, marked him as one of the iinest ends Normal has ever had. Gould, '04, as quarter-back, for the fourth time in as many years, showed his usual fine headvvork in directing the team's play on the field, and was successful in running the ball. Hapgood, '04, as half-back was a most consistent ground gainer, especially through the line from tackle,to tackle. Handy, '04, at left end played a steady defensive and offensive game, and Wfalter, '04, as left guard made a good mate for Vinal at right guard. Both men played for all there Wasin the game and opened some fine holes for the backs. The absence of these men will be greatly felt' next year. Freeman, '05, played a fine game as full back, working well with other backs, but was hard pushed for his position by Boyden who played the last game. Besides Capt. O'Brien, '00, whom we have already mentioned, this class gave'the team its centre, O'Donnell, who, although light,.proved a worthy opponent for the heaviest men on opposing teams, and Keefe, the substitute quarter-back, who has the speed, and judgment to make a line quarter back. 'With his two years' experience he ought to prove a valuable man to next year's team. The entering classes-showed a line spirit during the foot-ball season, sending a delegation of men to try for the team who were hard workers and faithful in their practice. - L a Fitzgerald and NValdron, both '07, played left and right tackles respec- tively, and both showed up well in points of the game. Both were strong defensive players, hard and aggressive on the offense and carried the ball well. Great credit must be given to this year's substitutes for their hard and faith- ful work. Benedict, '05, as guard, McDonald, '07, as end, and Boyden, '07, at full back played good foot-ball, and showed by their work at the close of the season that the year's experience would make them valuable men . to next year's team. g Of the individual games little need be said. The Boston Latin game was perhaps the most satisfactory, and the Friends School the least satisfac- tory. Boston Latin had one of the strongest school teams in the state, and our 12 points were well earned, while those who saw the game know how cheaply our worthy opponents got their six. A remarkable feature of this game was the fact that Fitzgerald of Normal had a brother ,playing on the Boston Latin team, as had also Miss Fotch of the class of 1907 . The Friends School game was played in a driving rain-storm, and although we pushed Friends School from one end of field to the other we could not seem to score, owing not so much to their ability to hold us as to our inability to hold the ball. - 65 LINE-UP The team for '04 was made up as folloWs:- 1 Handy, left end.

' Q -'wifi , 'N ITH ALL but one of last year' s victorious nine and several aspi- - rants for this year' s team, Normal has reason to believe that one v of the fastest aggregations of ball players ever representing the school will be in evidence for the season of 1904. Owing to the ' ' late spring and lack of facilities for indoor Work, it was impossi- ble for Captain Millerto call for candidates before April 5. A hearty response met the call, and although nearly' all were given a trial it Was not an easy task to select the Hregularsf' 4 A As the record of last year's games warranted the playing of stronger nines, Manager 'Hapgood arranged the schedule accordingly. The early publication of the Offering will not permit a complete summary of the season's work to be given here, nevertheless, We have had opportunity to gain a brief account of the players and the prospects for the B. N. S. ball team of 1904. April 19, the season opened on the South Field, when Normal faced her old rival, Brockton High. Gould pitched a good game, but Noi-mal7s costly errors enabled her opponents to Win out. The second, and We hope that the last, defeat of the year, was adminis- tered by Somerville High, one of the fastest school teams in the state. From indications at the outset a closely contested game was promised. Shortly after the preliminary excitement, Normal commenced fanning the air and Somerville hitting the ball. For results see thc schedule. 67 Our first victory was scored against the Boston Latin School. The contest ' was somewhat onesided, vet at the same time the boys were given an oppoy- tunitv to show what is to be expected of them, lValdron pitched his first gamev for Normal , acquitting himself creditably. Chester Miller, captain of the team, who has played with Normal during his four years, is keeping up his reputation in left field. He gathers in every- thing going his Way, and more than once an apparent hit is credited to his account as a 4' put out.'l . Gould is doing the twirling, and by his steady playing and strong batting contributes his share to Normal? s victories. Behind the bat WValter and Fitzgerald do the receiving. VValter's exper- ience, and the good support he gives the pitcher, enable him to play his usually strong game. Although new in the Work, Fitz is a good player and promises to make a reputation on the diamond. Freeman, who did some of the catch- ing last year, early in the season, injured his hand, which troubled him for some time. f'l'm after anything coming my Wayfl Although Oflirien might not say this, it is quite apparent to the rest that he means as much. Good stick Work and an enthusiastic game still characterize his work a.t first base. y Handy at second, with McDonald a ffclose second, promises to uphold the reputation of that position Handy's previous Work on the team andthe lively way he handles the ball prove him an aggressive Hball tosserf' This is Mac's.li1-st year with the team, but in him the qualities of a good iielder are already manifest. , Keefe plays a brilliant game at third and nothing is too hot for himllto handle. His base-running and batting are noticeable features in almost every contest. ' A .A Hooley, s work as short stop and his ability as a base-runner prove that Mike is lilling his position on the school team. , In the center garden our old stand-by McDonnell is found. It is certainly true that he enjoys the game, or that characteristic smile wouldnlt meanlfso much. Jack is another of the seasoned players, being especially noted for this ability as a fielder and a strong batter. His services are always in demand. ., iValdron, captain of Hyde Park High, 703, team, takes care of rightliield, and as a substitute pitcher proves himself to be of great value to the lim-i.g bi Wie regret that the team is to lose Gould, Miller, McDonnell, Wlalter, and Handy, as their work while on the school nines has been of the highest quality and full of a genuine school spirit.

N THE spring and fall the girls show their interest in athletics U by their attendance at the ball games and their enthusiastic N. cheering for the baseball and foot-ball teams. During the winter, however, their spirit is shown in their support of the- various basketball squads . in which they are interested. The Seniors and the Sections began to practice last fall and have worked all winter with great enthusiasm. WVith the exception of a few weeks when the allureinents of skating were too great to be resisted, attendance at practice has been excel- lent. The spirit shown by both teanis has been good and the theory that girls cannot subordinate the individual for the sake of the teani has once more been disproved. The rivalry between the two teams is good-natured, but no less intense on that account. The Juniors have not been ablento develop a team, owing to the illness of Miss Barnes, who directs their practice at iirstQ The boys, too, have had vigorous basketball contests this winter, from which they have won much amusement and some honors. The game seems to be gaining popularity every, year, and 'it is probable that those who coine here later will receive even more pleasure and profit in its pursuit than we have received, I 70 ..., ,:7 , z' yi . ne' 11' IAP.

The minute school closes, the campus is fairly alive with Normalites, rushing E .. -f for a court, racket in hand, and that most useful of articles, the net, thrown over one arm. You, doubtless, know the saying, 'h!r.?F -i f'The early bird catches the WO1'lTl.77 This might be applied to those early risers Who are Wise enough to get their nets out before breakfast. It is also noticeable that it is not only those, who are always on time for breakfast who now make this extra effort. Hence tennis may be beneficial in other linesg V As in other years, there will be a tournament in June. As to the partici- pants, time and practice will decide. 71 Sports at arvers 1.11.11- Cbe CBil'l'5 Sibe 'of llt S AN exercise, skating is undoubtedly beneiicial. Addison, in - his 'flle Coverley Papers, demonstrates the advantages both o11 niind and body of out-door physical exercise. lt is certainly an indisputable fact, that a healthy body helps to insure a sound niind, and, as Addison goes to say, with health, conies happiness. ,lf any one is in doubt as to the happiness produced by skating, let him envelop himself in a inagic mantle and thus, invisible, enter the corridors of 'f'l'he Hall, as the clock strikes four. 'What a. merry sound of voices, accompanied by the ringing clank of skates, reaches the ear, as a bevy of girls, rushing to and fro, prepare to start out for Carvers! ' lYhat should we do without Carvers? ln the spring and fall, it furnishes us boating, and all through the winter inonths, by no means the least of HNiOl'1ll2l,l77 sports, is skating. Does skating, alone, produce this happiness? lf we inean skating, as distinguished from other modes of exercise, we may answer in the aflirinative, but if 'fskating alone, refers to a person, judging from what we see, Wwe shall say emphatically, 'fNo !' There remains, then, to be found the unknown quantity sr, which added to skating ff, will produce lf, happiness. lf one should say that a property of Physics, and also of Chemistry, is displayed when skating, how it would be ridiculed, and yet, 'flVhat phenomena of Physics and Chemistry does one sometimes illustrate when skating? Qnot necessarily on Carversj. lf he loses his centre of gravity, there is apt to be a precipitatef' There areother ways in which this sport may prove beneficial. How can one better study Nature, the beautiful handiwork of the Master, than when skating? As the sun sinks below the horizon, throwing its golden-red tints across the sky, and twilight comes with its deepening shadows, and the stars begin to twinkle forth one by one,-Nature is drawing on her cloak of dark- 72 M ness and all out-doors is still, save for the murmuring of the wind in the tree- tops. The lights are shining at Hold Normaln and it is time for tea, so we will say ffgood-night and good-by to Carvers.

Follow the shore to the left as far as that button wood, a strudy growth, which stands forth in hard, 2: well marked lines. Back of all this are the dark, wind- ' blown pines against the sky.

Sometimes, when you come down, if a girl is on number 4'side, putting on skates, you can somehow stop on number 2 side and not 'see her..

At times he is severe, and then, strange to say, I wish to be in some other place, perhaps it is from a sense of guilt. y Sometimes he takes us with him across to the Old World, and pictures vividly the scenes which he visited there. Sometimes he guides us through Emerson' s works, and renders that deep reading easy for us. Sometimes he may be seen walking around the new gymnasium, peering here and there, and joking with the workmen, Often times I have seen him in the act of stop- ping the boys who were playing ball too near the buildings. It is not a hard task for any of you to guess who this noble man is, especially after I give you a nickname for him, Pa, y M. A. H.

But when shadows lengthen In the peaceful afternoon, Then the rippliug Waves are quiet, ' For the night is coming soon. And, so like little children, WVho have danced and laughed all day, The waves are stilled and quiet, As if tired of their play. O'er all a hush comes stealing More eloquent than Words, The leaves forget to Whisper, Silent the song of birds. - The Willows bending over, Aremirrored in the stream, While oaks in silent majesty Look down upon the scene, They breathe a benediction 'Which tells of infinite peace, For their tops point ever skyward, And their striving does not cease. The sun in fiery glory Fades slowly in the West Lighting all with radiant splendor, Ere. he sinks at last to rest. I A. L. T 76 love nano 'Qlflar ONG years ago, when our country was less thickly populated than - now, it was the custom for the colonists to band closely together 0 - in settlements, as a protection against the savage Indian tribes. In such a settlement, situated in the Hudson valley not far 1 i from the river's mouth, there lived a little Dutch maid named Gretchen. She was the acknowledged leader among her playfellows when- ever she chose to be with them, which was not often, as she' was a rather retiring child. ' One and all loved her, nor did anyone envy her shy loveli- ness, so dear was she to all. One afternoon 'in the late summer, the little girl started off for a gallop on her pony. Lost in rapture over the beauties about her, she did not heed the horse's turning to the left rather than taking the familiar right-hand road. Soon the landscape began to seem strange and the little maid became affrighted. She did not know what to do, whether to turn back or go ahead. In the midst of her musing, she started suddenly at sightof a dark, savage, little face peering at her from behind a tree. She tried hard to look brave and unconcerned, butone story after another came to her of Indian cruelty and cunning, and she began to weep piteously. At this the wild look in the Indianfs face softened, and as he stepped forward, into the road, she saw not an Indian warrior, but a little boy who might perhaps have been her own age, certainly not much older. He looked at her in wide-eyed amazement, as if he had never seen so lovely a maid. Ah, he thought, Nokomis, the Indian maid, is shy and beautiful like the richly colored violets, but this girl is fair and lovely as the arbutus, which in the spring hides its lovely self in the woods, but breathes sweet fragi-ance,, round aboutf' ' He made signs that he would not hurt her, and she felt less afraid. After a while she was able to make him understand her trouble, and without a word he turned her .horse about and led it to the cross-roads, starting it in the right direction, toward home. Now familiar objects met her gaze and she was once more light-hearted and care-free. As she turned to thank her small cavalier she saw him dart swiftly away and disappear into the woods. In a short time shenreached home, before there was any cause for anxiety at her absence, for she was always a child who liked best to rove alone. This was but the beginning of many meetings which she held with little Wawanaissa for such was the Indian youth's name. Idfondering about one day on her father's land, she sat down by a little brook to rest. Peering into 77 the water she suddenly saw the reflection of her little friend, who had glided up softly and was bending over her. YVith a pleased cry she rose and stood beside him. Then hand in hand, the two wandered along the brook's edge Saying nothing but thinking-Wlho shall say, what? Nearly every day he came, unknown to any of her people, and little by little they learned -to understand each other without diiiiculty. One day he came to her with a wild, unnatural light in his eyes, so that she was very much frightened. Signalling her to follow him, heled the way to a more secluded place and then hurriedly told her, that his tribe were to in- vade the settlement the following night and that she must warn her people. Stooping, he kissed her hand and with one last look filled with infinite long- ing, was gone. Wondering much, she walked quickly back to the settlement and gave the warning, but would answer no questions as to how she received the report, Many doubted the truth of her statement, and some hinted that the child was ill, but in the end they heeded the message and when the enemy came the white men held their own with only a small loss. Enraged and infuriated by defeat the savages returned home, at the iirst break of dawn above' the mountains. As they approached their village, little 'Wananaissa came out to meet them and led the way slowly to the tents. Then standing before them all, he confessed that he had betrayed them to the white settlers. With a yell they sprang upon him and while the sun was still low in the heavens, the brave young spirit found its way home. Every day little Gretchen Went to the brook, but every day returned home sad, and sadder, for her little friend never returned, nor did she receive any tidings of him. A, M, Cv 705, 78 1bovo lbernancia came to normal A TRUE STORY run from east to west through the centre of Puerto Rico San Rosario is a hot looking town, especially at noontime, when the f sun blazes down on the white, fiat-roofed houses and the rough ERNANCIA lived in San Rosario, back in the mountains that : Kg . T clay roads, and there are little heat waves in the air over the iron settees in the plaza. Even the river looks hot, and the palms havela thick coating of white dust on their shiny, metallic fronds., It had been a wickedly hot day, but the sun sank at last behind the hills, and the cool evening breeze sprang up. The town awoke as if by magic. The people poured out from their houses. Girls in the gauziest of pink and blue and yellow muslins, with faces white with powder, and wreaths of heavy scented jasinines and tube roses in their hair, swung up and down the' plaza, flirting their fans and chattering like magpies. Sweetmeat venders with huge trays on their heads shrieked and screamed their wares from every corner. Slip-shod negro servant girls, with delicately balanced bundles, slid along in their heelless slippers. In front of C the doors of the poorer houses, the braziers filled with glowing charcoal stood on the sidewalks, and most appetiz- ing odors came from the little black pots. Vernancia sat on her heels at one of these doors, stirring the roasting coffee, and listening stolidly to her mother's excited voice. Vernancia7s mother was enthusiastic, even if she did live in a palm-thatched shack, and wash all day at the river. ' Now she had good cause for excitement. Had not the Commissioner of Education, the great Commissioner who was so wonderfully kind hearted and sympathetic, come to San Rosario only yesterday, and told them of a new school, where if they could only go for a year, they could become teachers and be a credit to their beautiful Island, and be a pride to themselves and their friends for ever and ever? That was something indeed-a great thing- and Vernancia, her Vernancia should do it. Vernancia was a good child, and what pride they would have to say she was a teacher. Certainly they were poor, and the Commissioner had said that the new school was to be held at the Capital-a good forty miles away. But they were strong, forty miles was not far to walk, and they could rest on the way. When they got there they surely could find something to do-and Vernancia 79 would he a great credit to the Island, and a pride to all her friendsf ' Ycrnaneia stopped stirring the coffee. She was a heavy, thick-set girl, with a large, Hat face and small, dull eyes. She was not a person of many or rapid thoughts, but when an idea once really became clear to her, she fixed upon it and never forgot it. ' She liked this plan. She knew she could study. She had been to the school of the town. She was ready to go to the newischool. The Commis- sioner had actually shaken hands with her, and had said he hoped she could Come. I ' in 'fThen, she said, ffif I am a teacher, I shall not have to marry. Donf Francisco who is ten years older than I and whom I hate. They packed their clothes and the small .earthen pots and the braiier into bundles. It did not take long to empty the little house, or to tie' the door up with a twist of cocoanut fibre. On-e morning early they set out, mother and daughter, stepping lightly down the rough path. They were good walkers, and came of a race who carried all their bundles on their heads. The first few days allwent well. They rested when they wished, the prevailing hospitality of the people making the food question at simple one. Another problem soon confronted them. Their shoes wore out and their feet grew so sore and swollen, with walking barefoot over the sharp, fiinty stones, that it was torture to step on them. ' ' i I They did not dare to stop. The Commissioner had said that there would be a great crowd, and those desiring to be admitted must come early' or there would be no room for them. Suppose they should be too late? They must not be too late. They tied up their feet in leaves and hobbled on. if Late one night they reached the Capital. They were footsore, they winced at every step, they ached in every bone, but-they were there! ' The head assistant was in a bad temper. It was hot, and new pupils filling out the admission blanks were unutterably stupid. They were appar- ently unable to follow th ' fl e simp est directions. For the date, they put their ages. They wrote their names in place of their addresses,9-and these names esulting confusion was appalling. U The head assistant was a young man, with a well organized mind. It was incredible to him that people could be so stupid. I-Ie expostulated. They began to ask questions, Ten words can be' spoken by an excited' Porto Rican wl - ieie you would expect one. The head assistant had lea.rned his Spanish quietly studying a grammar in his own room. Truly he had some trials. ' He resolved to put his foot down. The school was fullf-crowded, now, they never wrote twice alike! The r ' So 'lb and therelseemled no end to the prospective candidates. Those senseless natives needed a lesson. All the riff-raff of the Island could not be crowded into one school. Not another one should enter. I The door swung open, Vernancia and her mother shuffled in-the head assistant hated shuffling-eand Vernancia timidly stated her object. The school is more than full now, we cannot admit another pupil, he told her curtly. A But we have come so far-from San Rosario. VVe are so poor+-our sacrifices-,' 'stammered Vernancia, while her mother broke into a shrill voiced plea. 'fYes, yes-I know, I understand, and I am very sorry. But you should have come earlier. There isn't room, now, for you anywhere. You really canlt enter. Comprencle? Understand? They understand at last and walked heavily I away. How sore' their feet were I' They sat down on a stone bench at the street corner, and stared- straight before them with dull, emotionless faces. They were stunned byf the blow.. They did not protest. i'Apparently they felt nothing. If A 1' The ladies rustled by in stiffly starched duck suits, Vernancia drew her feet aside as their sharp edged skirts brushed over them. She looked up wlth a feeling of dim uncertain resentment. They were Americans and they were utterly heartless. They cared for no one. The Commissioner was an Amerig can and he had deceived them, too, although hehad seemed so kind. Why had he encouraged them only to be so cruel? An idea came to her. in She would go to the Commissioner. Perhaps he would let her into the school when he knew how hard she had tried to get there on time. V y They climbed the wide, cool stairs to his office. The Commissioner never 'refused to see anyone. Vernancia told her tale. There was not much to tell. i 'We 'could not come very fast, she said in conclusion, and showed him her feet. A ' I I-Ie started back in horror. Was it possible that any human being 'could endure the agony of walking on such feet? They were swollen to twice their natural size. The scarf-skin on the bottoms and sides was frayed in long ragged strips, and there were angry looking purple red spots. The nails were worn to the quick, and splintered and cracked to the roots. Should she fail after this, and go back as she came-a journey doubly painful ' now the impulse and motive were taken away? The Commissioner thought not. He was a man of decision, as well as of kind heart. .That school should hold one more, and that one be Vernancia. He siezed his hat 81 and Stwted, In QL very short fifteen minutes Vernancia was a member of the much desired N01-mal School, and formally installed with an impressive Pile of books. - T' H' MW S' S H Glountro School PART I T WAS a small, white school house on the edge of a wood, with , U a dingy country store just beyond, that met J oyce's eyes one - 1, September afternoon. The view was not very encouraging and 1 still not dis-heartening, yet J oycefs ideal was shattered. What a beautiful place she had imagined it to be, and how joyfully she had thought to begin her duties! Mr. Hunter, at whose house it was J oycel s lot to board, was not an agreeable man, to say the least, and his wife was just a shade worse. Grumbling and faultfinding were the order of the day, but Joyce was thankful for one thing-there were no children in the family. S t School went along smoothly the first week. The children, regular little Arabs, and undisciplined at home, behaved well from the very novelty of the situation. - They never had had a teacher who could draw such wonderful pictures on the board, who told them they should not be whipped, and who required them to work only from ambition and love for her Such was J oycel s method. But one day the largest boy became refractory. Speaking and coaxing were in vain, and Joyce would not stoop to hiring him, although she knew that with a boy of his disposition that would be effective. HO dear! This isn't much like Normal, thought poor Joyce. During the afternoon Tom stepped to the window and jerked down the curtain. She did not know what to do, so the boy remained unpunished. 1 Things went from bad to worse until they became unbearable. 4 HI must Whip youf? said Joyce to the small boy who had jumped out a back window head first, and had remained away an hour. She give him six hard slaps with the ruler, feeling as pained at the act as the child himself. The next morning the small boy presented a very grimy scrap of paper to 82 I Joyce, with the remark, 'fGuess you won't want to whip me again right offf' The note read. Mis Coal i want you to no i dont want my boy pownded an i wont hav it you ot to be put out Mrs Smikes The smallest girl soon became the worst, and one day, in a tussle with her, Joyce broke her watch--chain, skinned the cl1ild7s elbow, and cracked the door leading to the girls' cloak-room. r Joyce at last gave up the school. She realized that she had not begun right, and that it would be of no use to t1 y to remedy the mistake there. 4 PART II t When, the following Monday, Miss Colels successor appeared, the pupils felt truly sorry, and wished Miss Cole back. For Miss Grimm was fffat, fair, and forty,'7 with a decidedly frizzled appearance. The very first day it was discovered that she wore a wig, couldnot see three feet beyond her nose, and was ffeasyf' The poetess of the school com- posed a jingle, beginning thus: , ' Miss Grimm, A Is growing thin, etc. V Miss Grimm soon tired of the place for three reasons, as she told a kindly old man whom she met in the road. 'fFirst,7' said she, 'Utwould take a saint to live at Hunter's and not have a row. And of course I've got to board there, because he's school-committee. Second, 'twould try the patience of Job just to see the ignorance of this community. Third, the children take after the old folks. After three week of torture during which she was relieved of her false crimps, called old and ugly to her face, and narrowly escaped losing her dress skirt in the middle of a recitation owing to the kindly attention of some youngster, Miss Grimm departed with almost an imprecation on her lips. PART III The teacher of that district at the present time is a girl from 'fup-coun- try, and like most girls from that mysterious region entered into her work with energy. She let the children undertand from the very iirst that her method was 'foil of birch , and it has at least been effective. Guy, but she's ugly ! I heard Tom say the other day the other day, but he was very careful that the teacher should not hear him. It's all put on, for I saw her smile real pleasant last weekj' was another remark.

I believe the old Normal cat'aQ i ' logue, called them Pellissier and Carroll, but we don't do it. Then there is Packard, large both of 1ni11d and body-notice We sayisimply Packard. We wouldn't dare to call him by a pet name. Continuing, men- tion must be made of Gammons fGrELl11D5 Savary QChillj and Leonard iQUnclej. MacKendrick is also a member.

Chill, for instance, has been studying what he terms 1' 'Old English. 'There is no question about the age when he orates-it sounds like a primeval jungle. 34 Gam's tastes, during the iirst half yearqat least, ran more to Shakespeare. VVhen Gam quotes, however, the passages are concerning love or tragedy- frequently both. Such an invariable selection seems to poi-tend something significant, although he claims it is simply Hartn.

Perry keeps quiet but probably has troubles of his own. dlVIac's success as an assistant in history is brilliant. He has discontented students bothering him half to death half the time. They donit like his Normal method of marking. CHAPTER III.-RECREATION. Dab and Bobbie have solved this problem. They call each other Frenchy7' and Irish and ,then proceed to put each other on the bed. It is exhilarating and serves the purpose. j Gam and Uncle have contracted a bad habit of starting a Hrough-house in Chill' s room. Chill as a rule rather enjoys it and frequently oins in, but Chill's room-mate objects. The room- mate QTower by namej is a proctorg so he objects from a sense of duty, although he has the reputation of having been worse himself last year One day, Gam, Chill and Uncle held a golf tournament in this same room. Gam got the record for lofting, while Uncle played the first hole for one, an unsur- passed record up to date. You have no idea how exciting the game of golf can become when played indoors. Gym work affords one form of recreation. Dab can now do wonders gymnastically. His latest is to stand on his hands and place his feet against the door--not his own-of course-the door usually is the one to 54 College House where Bobbie and Uncle reside. ' Packard Qan- other surprise for youj has become an inveterate gym. fiend. He travels around the running track at Hemenway in regulation style, and has been mis- fi .W ia' ,. rg, ki ,W lt if Zi A I 'Q V 1 i Q I A i taken by unsophisticated Freshman for one of Harvard's crack long distance runners. Bobbie and Uncle always believe that spontaneity in exercise is most beneficial. Uncle-'s spontaneity of exercise usually consists in mysteri- ous absences from Cambridge, to which he returns at hours not conformable to good old Normal customs. Bobbie says he goes fussing, and it is clear that the facts in the case cannot be well explained on Academic or business grounds. But Uncle isn't alone, Packard's spruce condition and genial smile of a Sunday are really most significant-he is going to buy coal just as he did last year. Then there is Gam who says he is a true bachelor, and then proceeds to dine out in the middle of the week under particularly delightful circumstances. During Lent, Dab could work the church game, but it is all bosh, and what one man up hear calls transparent dissernblingw. Bobbie did bravely through the winter, but at time of writing, the dangerous spring is yet before him. r CHAPTER IV.-SLEEP. We sleep as much as we can and dare to. This daring in fDab's case, once went to the extent of peacefully sleeping in bed while two lectures went on without him. Bobbie and Uncle are most energetic UQ about rising. During the winter, the first one up had to start the fire, consequently there was a long time before a first could be counted. The struggle usually ended by both getting up together just in time to get breakfast and avoid a cut for a nine o'clock lecture. Gam Works at Randall mornings and goes around aim- lessly with eyes glued together and with the most comical 'fmorning afterf appearance Evidently Gam doesn't like getting up either Chill is aristo- cratic to the lrnnt-by limit we mean the time Randall closes for breakfast As for Packard, hrs proud appearance at the breakfast table by 7 30 during the past few months of the college year has now been superseded by a guilty sneaking appearance at about 8 15 or later CHAPTER V -RULES There are rules-in fact each student rs presented with a printed copy of them As to the matter of always keeping them, we imagine it rs much the same the world over There rs, of course, much freedom here and individual responsibility becomes highly developed You can cut recrtatr ons if you see fit, but woe be unto you rf the habit be overdone ' CHAPTER VI.-CoNoLUs1oN. VVe desire, in closing, to be serious in expressing our feeling for old Normal. We are all loyal to the institution which has done so much for us. Our esteem for the faculty is ever enthusiastic, our hope and interest in the growth and development of the school, sincere. The new gymnasium, the new improvements in the curriculum, in fact any change that occurs is dis- cussed with interest by us, part of her loyal alumni. To the under-graduate body, we extend our hearty greetings. N. L. ' 02.

A ,AVI Many have good reason to remember that terrible night, and Iif quwa among these are Jim and I. Previous to our departure for an ' I 1 out-of-town school we-had both been enthuiastic .trappers of otter, mink and muskrat. At each end of the town-at the lake and the river --we had built a hut, and these huts with all our trapping outit, we had 'given toiJi1n's brother VVill, and to my cousin Dick, on condition that they keep the huts well stocked with food and clothing in case of emergency. On that Saturday night in November I sat studying in my room at home, feeling thankful that I didn't -have to go out, as it was beginning to snow hard, and the wind was blowing a gale. About eight o' clock I heard the out- side door open, and J im's voice ask for me. I called to him to come up, and when he came I saw that he was dressed in his old trapping suit. 3'Great Scott 1 I exclaimed, ffwhere in the world are you going tonight? HTom, he answered, 'fWill and Dick went off this afternoon to visit their traps andthey haven't came back yet. Mother is almost wild, so I said that I would get you and that we would go and find them. I told her that we should find them at one of the huts, and if we did we should stay there all night. If we shouldn't find them we should return by two o7clock. So, she will know that if we're not back by that time they are safe. You'll come, won' t you?' ' 57 .ix ff ,Qi 4 Q 'E is z,' ..
