I To GEORGE H. MARTIN, SECRETARY OF THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION, THIS Booz: Is MOST CORDIALLY DEDICATED. Y Greeting. -l.-3-1: EAR AFTER year has passed and the life at Bridgewater has - steadily gone onward and outward. V For the past few years, we have endeavored to catch the many phases of the every day life and reflect them from the pages of our year book. That is the purpose of this year's NORMAL OFFERING. Changes in its contents have been made and they are but the reflection of the changes in the school. 1 T I To those who find themselves named in the Grinds and it seemeth hard thus to read, may we suggest that they wipe their glasses carefully and read again. The Editorial Board of the NORMAL OFFERING of 1905 extend their greeting Land present this, the seventh annual publication of the book, trusting that it will be of interest to teachers, students, alumni, and friends.

' V ' h He attended the public schools of his native city and in a magazine article My schools and schoolmastersn he has given aninter- esting sketch of his school life. What he says in that article concerning one of his teachers is strikingly applicable to himself as a teacher : His keen questioning went to the root of things, and under him fthe subject taughtl became luminous. . , Graduating fromthe Bridgewater Normal Schoolhe taught for a time in Grammar schools and then was called to a position in this school, where he remained eighteen years, during nearly all of which time he was first assistant. .For the many hundreds of pupils who were under his instruc- tion here his influence fills a large place in their estimate of what the school did for them, not more for what he taught them than for the per- fect examples which he gave them of what good teaching is. While here he took part in Institute work and was so valuable afactor in it that he was appointed one of the state agents. In that position he acquired a wide acquaintance with the schools of the state, his annual re- ports show his quick appreciation of the conditions existing in the schools which he visited, often in sentences of epigrammatic terseness. i After several years service as agent he was elected as supervisor of Boston schools and remained in that position, by successive re-elections, until last year when he was chosen to his present office. This brief sketch of his workin the past will suggest his varied and extended preparation for the important position which he now holds, a preparation which cer- tainly has not been exceeded in its fulness by that of any of his prede- cessors. I While teaching at Bridgewater Mr. Martin published a text-book on Civil Government which he had prepared to meet the needs of his own 7 l and a smaller work, The English Language, which had a similar c asses, ' ' A few ears ago he gave a course of lectures at' the Lowell Insti- origln, Onyafter were published under the title, The Evolution of the Massachusetts School System. In his preface he says that the work its only a sketch-a study, not a history of education in Massachusetts, an. other bag gaid that it is the only history of any phase of education in tute which so America that is sure YO be 3 C1HSSiC- In additi0n't0tl1C performance of his regular duties, Mr.'Martin has been active in many organizations, educational and otherwise, and has filled important offices in them, including the presidency of the Massachu- setts Schoolmasters' club and of the American Institute of Instruction. In his various relations he has been a frequent and forceful speaker on many subjects, educational, literary, and religious. Un all fitting occa- sions, especially in his after-dinner addresses, the keen wit with which he is gifted adds richly to the interest with which he is heard. l ' If, instead of attempting a complete portrayal of his characteristics, one were to select a single trait which most distinguishes all of lVIr. Mar- tin's work that trait would be clearness : clearness of insight into the prob- lem before him, whether a practical matter -in town meeting, a scientific principle, or an educational theory, clearness of thought, of utterance, and of expression, clearness in criticism and in suggestion of remedies, when the criticism is adverse. All who are interested in this school may well rejoice that one of our. alumni, who has met all past responsibilities so efficiently now occupies the highest position in the educational system of the state. , 8 Wee-Pri Bridgev College, 1 Taught Nl 1875679 tional Qor tauqliaian since 187g all E lil-lage, which h ctures at th ad C title, E face Q won ation in M thatthew an HSS21ChuSett ucatiolli i . . fi . sg .

And being extended and multiplied. I M1sslsA1313LLE S. HORNE, CI875- .D As an Cff1CiGHt 'C6HChCr of vocal expression in the Bridgewater Normal School for nearly a generation, Miss Horne's service has been rare and noteworthy. Yet not as a teacher of vocal expression alone. In her gracious personality, her skillful stimu- lation of the appreciation of noble literary ideals, her cordial interest in the promotion of all social, dramatic and generally uplifting enterprises undertaken by the members of the school, the service she has rendered is deserving of the highest praise. But going deeper still, upon her seems to have descended in some sense the mantle of another devoted woman teacher, Miss E. B. Woodward, who was Miss, I-Iorne's close personal friend and who also for thirty years served her day and generation in the Bridgewater Normal School. Although to the woman teacher may be denied the privilege of extending her own personality into the future through the lives of her own children, yet to her sometimes come the happiness and the opportunity in no small degree to mould the lives and destinies of hundreds of young persons who in later life will call her memory blessed. N . Miss' CLARA C. PRINCE, QI87Q- .Q The service of Miss Prince to the Bridgewater Normal School did not begin with her appointment in 1879. Five years earlier, a yearls furlough which was granted to me in my own teaching work was made possible by the fact that Miss Prince, then a student in the school, and my sister Miss Edith Leonard,-also a student and later also a regular teacher in the school,-were able and will- ing to undertake most of my teaching dutieg M155 Prince assumin the 0 9. g chaff? of mY geography classes. I hold in grateful memory today this service then rendered. , 511106 Miss PfiHCC'S appointment as a regular teacher, the rapid development-of the school in its musical standards, and its present high efficiency in such lines, give abundant testimony to Miss Prince's loyal devotlon to the highest Principles Of musical art, to her own skill as a 16 i I . 311 As 1 an .impOj to I name de' e niuSiC lives sh MR' noble qui the intro Mr. BOYG to the BI have bee We belie the futur of MT- Il through ' vice, thot has had much be Yet it is mental g always ki Mr. Boyz highest it But of suhjet exercised its growtf head and for many its hlgheg In rc laborer y names th WHS StrOr Of all.

As a successful teacher of mathematical science Miss Prince has filled an important place where her labors have been abundant and fruitful. And to her also has been given the honor and happiness of writing her name deeply on the hearts of hundreds of young people whose personal lives she has helped and befriended. MR. A. C. BOYDEN, fI87Q- .Q Last but by no means least ofnthis noble quintette of long-continuing Bridgewater teachers. As a pioneer in the introduction and development of Nature Study in the public schools, Mr. Boyden's fame far transcends the limits of the direct patronage given to the Bridgewater Normal School. His plans for such courses of study have been widely published and adopted in many parts of the country. We believe that we speak within reason when we say that it seems as if the future of the Natural Sciences in America will owe much to the labors of Mr Boyden in this department, as impressed upon the public mind through the common schools As a teacher of history Mr Boyden's ser vice, thouffh less widely known, perhaps, than his work in Nature Study, has had a profound and far-reaching lnfluence, having extended itself much beyond the direct teaching fields of the Graduates of this school Yet it IS Mr Boyclen's pupils alone who can fully appreciate the loOf1cal mental grasp of every subject the keen and critical yet 1nsp1r1ng and always k1ndly and sympathetic elements of his teaching that have made Mr Boyden in the minds of many of the Bridgewater graduates thelr highest 1deal of a teacher of power and inspiration But Mr Boyden s work is not alone that of a teacher of classes and of subjects As Vice Principal of the school he has now for many years exercised a strong and ever increasin influence in directing the trend of its growth both in ideals and in scholarly attainments That the guidmg head and shaping influence of Mr Boyden may be continued to the school for many years to come IS the wish of all who know its history and desire 1ts highest prosperity In recalling my own personal relations to these five teachers as a co laborer with them 1D the Bridgewater Normal School there are other names that come quickly to mind as representing those whose influence was strongly felt durin that period of the school life which I knew best of all The names Woodward Martin Winship Russell Richards Currier Armes Hutchinson Murdock call to the minds of many graduates the personalities and labors of others who also left their 1mpress upon the life of the school Some of these have entered into still larger fields of educational influence, some have taken up the more restricted but not less important duties of domestic life, and some have passed on to their eternal reward. In more recent years other men and women of fine culture and large ability have entered this teaching service, and some of these have already served the school faithfully for many years. They are my valued personal friends, their labors are loyal and efficient, and later generations of the school's graduates will write for these their personal tributes. But the Eve who have been specially named as having made so long a record of unbroken effective service are those to whom our words of special appre- ciation are iittingly given today. V I The united labors of these five,-Mr. A. G. Boyden fifty years, Mr. Kirmayer thirty-live years, Miss Horne thirty years, Miss Prince twenty- six years, Mr. A. C. Boyden twenty-six years,-the aggregate teaching results of these 167 years of first-class teaching effort is worthy of the best tribute of praise and admiration that the students and alumni of the Bridgewater Normal School can give to them today. MARY H. LEONARD. E, THE present students of Bridgewater, realize this year, - with ever increasing force, the strong and faithful service of . . , those who have so willingly worked with us and for us, and who have lived in the lives of hundreds of -students during ,Q these twenty-Eve or more years. ' As we have grown into the understanding of the beauty, the dignity and the nobility of training others to develop toward the highest, we have come to realize far better the true meaning of the life work of the teachers here in the school. K To them we have looked for help and counsel and for the true attri- butes of the teacher, and we have never been disappointed. Their earnestness, loyalty, truth and kindness we shall never forget. In their lives and work they have been, are and will ever be an inspiration to us and we give to them our deepest gratitude. E Soon, others who have for a long time worked side by side with these will be looking back through the years of a quarter century. May they then know that their work has been done not in vain and that they will always be honored in the hearts of their student friends.

Each of the plans is good because in this way advanced scholarship and profes- sional training are combined. The teaching profession today demands an adaptive personality, high ideals, broad scholarship, and technical training. After a thorough founda- tion is laid in the principles of a subject and in the methods of effective study, a student is ready for expert instruction and can use the extensive facilities which the best colleges furnish. D For several reasons Harvard University has been particularly attrac- tive to Normal graduates. Credit is allowed for a large number of Normal courses, the opportunities for advanced work are varied and extended, the scholarships open to Normal graduates make the plan financially possible, and the chances for earning' money in various ways attract the struggling student. The high stand invariably taken by the Bridgewater men has enabled them to win their degrees with honors, while some of the men have signally distinguished themselves in different departments, and as a result have gained enviable positions after graduation. It behooves all future alumni to live up to the high standards set by their predecessors. The Harvard authorites have spoken in the highest terms of the ability of the Bridgewater men and of their power to grasp the stronger sides of the work, It is sincerely hoped that this pleasant relation will last for a long time. Doubtless similar relations might be established with Radcliffe for the young ladies, and surely the future will demand this fullness of pre- paration for the higher grades of teaching. Not a few of the graduates have taken courses in other colleges where or examination to advanced standing has been ranted 'So much more is demanded of a teacher than formerly that the g . - g , ,broadest possible equipment is needed for those who make teaching a life Pfofgssion, ARTHUR c.

Six or eight of the best modern gymnasiums were carefully studied and a planjincorporating their excellences and eliminating their defects was devised and executed by the aid of the skilful architects, Messrs. Hartwell, Richardson and Driver of Boston and the competent and reli'able iconitrac- tor, Mr. F. D. VVilliams of Taunton. A ' The distinguishing architectural features of the building are its good proportions, the gables upon each end and on the front projection, the mosaic brick work and its beautiful sky line. It is built' of brick encasing a steel frame, trimmed with dark blue marble, and has a slated roof tipped with copper. The main part of' the building is 48x90 feet, the projection on the front is 24x64 feet, with octagonal towers on the front corners for stairways. The projection on the back is 5x88 feet, for the rear stairways. The basement story is in two apartments, one for men, the other for women, each has a coat room, lockers, dressing rooms and baths. The shower baths are so arranged that a class of thirty young women can take a bath at the same time, and in the men's department twenty can take a bath at the same time. Individual baths are provided in each department. The first fioor has the vestibule, corridors, director's room, ladies retiring room and the gymnasium. The second floor has two meeting-rooms on the front, and the gallery with the running track. Drop seats are attached to the gallery railing. , The apparatus furnished by the Spalding manufacturing company of Chicopee is modern and of the best quality. The brick walls of the inte- rior are finished in enamel paint and give the building a cheerful aspect. The lighting and ventilation of the gymnasium are ample. The building is furnished with electric lights and gas lights and has an electric time service connecting it with the assembly hall in the school building. The gymnasium may be used as an audience room and as a banquet hall for alumni gatherings. A convenient kitchen is provided in the basement and is connected by a dumb waiter with the retiring room above, enabling the use of the latter with the adjoining corridor as a serving room on the occasion of these banquets. The grounds are handsomely graded, the building has a sunny ex- posure and in beauty of finish is not excelled by any of the school build- ings. It is a most valuable addition tothe equipment of the school and its use will greatly increase the efficiency of the students. - ALBERT G. BoYDEN. 21 . i 1 . Gymnastics for the flben. T I-IAQ been a general source of regret that the most excel Mr Murdock should have been of necessity discontinued since 1897 With the opening of the new gymnasium th1s f work will be resumed, and the Normal minority will have a share in the work so long monopolized by the fair majority. The responsible public positions which the men are called upon to fill and the peculiar nature of their work and example call not only for scholar- ship and mental acumen but for men physically strong and of good bear- ing indicative of the sterling qualities of manhood. A rational course in lent course in gymnastics available to the men in the time of gymnastics should go far to insure the last named qualifications. As a professional school training men for the work of public school teaching, the course in gymnastics should include primarily a thorough training in Swedish gymnastics, the system pre-eminently adapted for use in the public schools. It should be so administered and studied as to make clear the needs of the children, the aims of an educational system of gymnastics and the special adaptibility of this system to the ends in view. Further than this the men's course should include selected work from other so-called systems so as to widen their Held of activity, promote their interest in the subject generally, and furnish data for studying the com- parative value of the different kinds of gymnastics available. This should help the men to go out with some power to judge intelligently as to the relative usefulness of each as a means to more complete and effective public school education. I refer in the foregoing to such work as may be done with dumb-bells, Indian clubs, wands, chest weights, German horse, parallel bars, et cetera. ' Gymnastic games, now conceded to be of marked educational value as well as means of healthful recreation, will have a definite place in the work as planned. It is to be hoped that the long neglected Normal Field Day may be revived in the near future, new records made, and such a healthy athletic sentiment established that this school may stand for a rat10nal interest in athletics and a devotion to legitimate and clean sport.

HE YEAR 1905 marks an epoch in the educational annals of Bridgewater. It completes the fiftieth year of Mr. Boyden's connection with the Normal School and commemorates the event by dedicating the Boyden Gymnasium, which stands as a monument to do him honor. It also marks an epoch in the annals of Physical Education, from the fact that an educator of Mr. Boyden's repute, should spare no pains to obtain a gymnastic plant, second to none in the land, thus giving a practical demonstration of theitheoretical adQ mission of the highest educational authorities, that a physical basis is the essential foundation of education. I H y A course in Physical Training, suitable for a Normal School has its well defined needs, which are more or less hampered by limitations of time. It should not only improve, but establish the health of the student, in- crease his stren th and power of endurance train his higher co-ordinative g i functions, which lead to the formation of useful habits of action, enable him to conserve energy and divert it into the channels where it is most needed. It should provide him with a knowledge of the principles of gymnas- tics both theoretically and practically, and such knowledge should be based or of the anatomical and physiological functions O of the body, in order to make it possible for him to conduct classes in gymnastic exercises, in the various school grades. It should give him a general knowledge of school hygiene, so that he may lessen, where he cannot entirely overcome, the evils of the ordinary . . h school-room, and he should be prepared to deal intelligently with t e chool-life. on athorough understandin minor accidents and emergencies that arise in S Above all, it should furnish him with the power to know the children with whom he deals, so that he may be able to detect abnormalities of ' ' ' th d develo ment, as well sight and hearing and the asymmetries of grow an p as the more obvious deformities and pathological conditions. In addition to these requi toire of school-room games and athletic sports, for rements, the modern teacher mustebe equipped with a reper 23 s we find one of the most effectual means to a natural in well chosen .play . development of the human powers. Through them and the higher forms of athletics the child and youth give spontaneous and joyous expression to self activity, learn their relationship to their comrades and to respect the rights of others. The necessary determination and perseverance in efforts to reach a desired goal serve as a preparation to meet the grim realities of later life and overcome obstacles to success. I p ' In speaking of athletics, President Eliot of Harvard says: I value them not chiefly for their physical effect, though that is very valuable, but 'more for their moral effect, for their effect on the moral fibre of the in- dividual. Their great value comes from the fact that they develop char- acter and this is what counts. Indeed it is the development of character, which especially 'counts with the student who is to become a teacher, and the gymnastic and athletic training which fails to emphasize this end is meaningless. ' There should be a wise selection of all exercises, games and sports to be presented to the Normal student, and in all the games he should be led to study their educational value and develop their inherent meaning by clean, wholesome play. The opportunity should be afforded him to prove the intrinsic value of such games.as'Foot-ball and Basket-ball, for in both of them lie the germs of a vigorous development and character growth, when they are played with the highest form of self-control, the evidence of which is shown in the subordination of a selfish interest to the com- mon welfare, and the acceptance of defeat and victory with the calm equi- poise that comes from the knowledge of legitimate individual effort toward the desired end. It is peculiarly the province of the Normal Schools to preserve and purify our national games. Where so much has been done to advance the physical needs, it shall be the aim of the Department of Physical Edu- cation in Bridgewater, to realize in full measure the scope of the privileges and opportunities provided and to establish the highest standard of attain- ment in its various branches.

Thei Elma flbaterf' HERE HAD been a need long felt in our school for a song -' that would express our loyalty. There were a few songs, H ' more expressive of fun than of deep feeling, which were ' ' sung to old familiar tunes, but nothing that really belonged to us. . Last june, just before the Biennial Reunion, sheets of music bearing the name Alma Mater were distributed throughout the school. We had a song which was all ournown. The words and the music were written solely for the Bridgewater State Normal School, and were dedicated to our Principal, Mr. Albert G. Boyden. The matter had been kept secret, so the issue of the music came as a surprise to most of us. The words of Alma Mater were written by Miss Zelma Lucas, 1904, then a member of our school and now a teacher at Plymouth. The music was composed by Mr. William Lester Bates, a graduate from our school in 1892, and now sub-master in the George Putnam school in Boston. The song has proved worthy of our enthusiasm. Its theme is loyal- ty,-not merely the zest of school spirit which enlivens social life and athletics, but the deep, intense love which time has no power to change. It is the strong tie that makes the graduates of the school turn back and remember forever the, precepts learned there. It is the spirit that makes Biennial Day so bright, the wonder of the younger members of the school, when old faces grow young again, and all cares are forgotten inlthe joy of being back once more amid the loved surroundings. Alma Mater is a song of praise and love to the fostering mother who has given and still gives so much to her children. Much of the meaning is expressed by the way in which the song is sung. Faces grow earnest when the first chords are struck, and one by one we gather around the piano and sing with all our hearts, as we can sing only something that we love. No gathering is complete without the singing of Alma Mater, and we are sure that the years will not make us 26 forget wvfds Worthy 6 I1 song songs, were .onged earing V e had written rted to secret, Lucas, .

The first of these, the fifty-first convention of the association, was f held in Bridgewater, Saturday, june 18, 1904. The fifty- ' -I s second convention met at Hotel Brunswick, Boston, Satur- day, April 15, 1905. - These two gatherings were 'notable ones in the history of the association, the theme in both being the completion of Mr. Boyden's fiftieth year of teaching in the school, an unusual record in any profession. At the Bridgewater meeting, Rev. Samuel M. Crowthers of Cam- bridge, the speaker of the day, took as his subject the Study of Poetry as one source of pure enjoyment. The theme of the after-dinner speeches was the Bridgewater spirit as received, intensified, and transmitted by Mr. Boyden for fifty years. Among the speakers, fittingly introduced by President john I. Rackliffe, were Secretary George H. Martin representing the state, Vice-Principal A. C. Boyden, the school, and Mrs. Ellen G. Adams, the alumni. y - But it was at theBoston meeting that the full tribute to Mr. Boyden was given-a tribute marked by a signihcant simplicity, sincerity, and warmth. ' An unusually large number of the graduates of the school and guests of the association met in the parlors of Hotel Brunswick at twelve o'clock, when an informal reception was held for an hour. The company included graduates ranging from Mr. john Kneeland of the third class to members of the one hundred thirty first class. I After the luncheon Mr. Charles P. Sinnott, in behalf 'of the school, offered the motion that the present school pin, made on the plan of the new state seal, be adopted as the pin of the association. This motion was adopted unanimously, and the pin may now be used as a class pin, a school pin, and an alumni pin-a symbol of complete 'school unity. . , gg , 7 Br sCh00l of the school perman Boyden address H, Lec tion of adapteo to halt Tl George tension others Mr. Bo lopporti him to Of ate nial in gold cc mahog Albe .S NOI'm1 .A A Boydf featur his W4 '1 .

Mr. Horton's response to the toast, The Educator, Mr. Aldrich's tribute to the Normal Schools as pioneers in the methods of teachingcurrent in all types of the schools of today, Mr. Russell's view of the wofksand spirit of the school as only a fellow-worker can see it, Miss Fisher's theme of the permanent in human living, all ended, naturally in a recognition of Mr. Boyden as the most complete exponent of their various themes. These addresses were followed by' a few words of appreciation' from Miss Mary H. Leonard and by the reading of apsonnet written by her on the comple- tion of Mr. Boyden's twenty-fifty year of principalship of the school and adapted to this occasion by the change of the words a quarter century to half a century. - I The last expression of the common feeling came from Secretary George Hg Martin. In a few humorous sentences he relievfedthe growing tension by helping us to recall what he and we and three ,oryfour thousand others were when we entered the school, and to realize whata time of it Mr. Boyden must have had with us. He reminded us, however, of the f 'opportunity we had given for the growth of the spirit of patience, enabling him to receive as well as to give. Then he asked Mr. Boyden's acceptance of a testimonial of our appreciation of all he had done for us-a testimo- nial in the only Etting form, pure gold. This offering consisted of 50 gold coins, thirty eagles and twenty double eagles, arranged within a square mahogany box, rich and chaste, bearing on a gold plate the inscription, Albert Gardner Boyden, from the alumni of the Bridgewater State Normal School. A token of regard to mark his 50th year of service. I At the beginning of the exercises, President Tuttle spoke of llVIr. Boyden's presence as a benediction. In his response, which was the last feature of the day, Mr. Boyden sent us away with the added benediction of his words. I During the afternoon the Cadet Quartette furnished the formal music.

HE EXCELLENT exercises of this day of all Normal days, were flttingly brought to at close by the customary promenade n H in the evening. Here the graduates and their friends assem- y bled for the last time in the old hall. ' The latter was resplendent with tropical furnishings, stately palms relieving its Puritan corners and tastefully setting off the dignified platform. Green flelds of birch leaves, embossed with daisies entwined to form the inscription, B. N. S. 'o4, covered the book shelves in the front of the hall. Indeed the whole appearance of the hall was a credit to the leadership of Miss Alice B. Lane, chairman of the Decorating Committee. A The guests on arrival were welcomed by the reception committee con- sisting of representatives of the Senior Class. The music, rendered by Ferguson's Orchestra, was especially good, comprising both classical and popular selections The first promenade was led by Principal A. G. Boyden and Miss Eunice Burbank, and those following it, by different members of the Graduating Class. As usual, the hall was crowded and the evening was warm, but good nature and punch, alike, abounded. The soprano solos of Mrs. Lynne Balcom Brooks served to give a pleasing variety to the evening's program. The lastpromenade closed with the singing of Alma Mater, and as the 'voices of the tired Seniors echoed through the old school hall, the life of the class of 1904, as such, passed into history.

Strange sounds may often be heard issuing from No. I7 where some member of Class A is trying to impersonate 'a noted Shakespearean ,character or where it may be the whole class is giving the signal for battle with the cry, Once more into the breach, dear friends, once more. ' On clear nights some of our members may be 'seen gazing into the heavens, endeavoring to learn a new constellation, Many shooting stars have been observed, and sometimes the same star is ,seen by different students separated many miles, which only shows that distance makes no difference if minds are in harmony. Marvelous ,things have been reported. One of our young ladies, -while taking an ocean voyage, saw the full moon appear suddenly in the zenith of a clear sky late in the evening. This is a caselwhere conditions other than atmos- pheric, have to be taken into consideration. Q In our geology note book work much artistic ability has been shown in the drawing of rocks. The drawings are carefully labeled in order to prevent any misunderstanding in case some one not educatedljin such matters should be' unable to interpret easily. I I I The black-boards in one of the rooms are kept covered with figures strange to the uninitiated, 'much of this work jis done by members of Class A who are delving into the mysteries of advanced mathematics. ' In room I5 much time is spent by our botanists who are daily seen bending closely over microscopes, perhaps trying to find thc fourth part of a plant. Valuable instruction in the correct use of the razor is also given in the room, although those not in the class may not understand 'the practicality of this phase of the work. Class B has taken literature with us this year, making a much larger class, but we have enjoyed having them with us'to show :us how they look upon various matters. One of their young men considers Falstaff a 'fhuge bluff. When the money was appropriated for the new gymnasium we thought we should enjoy the use of the new building but that privilege has not come to us, and we have had only the pleasure of seeing it grow from day to day until it has reached its present state of completion. We trust that future Clagsesrmay enjoy what we have just missed. Ver soon we are to leave school and most of us are to begin teaching Y , , 4. at once although some may go on with their studying in other places. In spite of diffigulties and hard work our school life here holds many 37 pleasant memories for us, and we shall always look back to the four years spent at Bridgewater as very profitable and happy.

It is natural that we should have this feeling, 'ifglgfili' - and what would life be without this friendship and sympathy which comes from our social intercourse? The human heart craves love and sympathy. But is this a time to be sad, when our real life is just beginning and the birds and flowers, voices of nature, bid us to press forward in our good work? Nay, rather with joy and thanksgiving let us take up. the burden of life, and by our example help others to succeed as we have done. We are grateful for the kindness s own y adopt us, and for the hearty welcome h b Class A in offering to which has been extended to us at 39 J i i i 4 W , .J recitations by that class and other classes. However, we were of the opinion that we were strong enough in ourselves-especially after receiv- ing Mr. French as a member-, and it has provento, be a wise judgment. Normal has offered us varied advantages which we have seized eagerly. No one of us has had the same experiences as others, but all havenduly appreciated the efforts. of .our.iDS5f.1fQCt,0,f5,. aUdi.l13.VC C0019 to understand what work revallymjeanshf .'-'l'lianks4l2CtQif'N,0f.fQ'i3lHfhat ugfunvtg'wqrklaigflrm-G'ih ',i' ' chris 'i'A 71 d Lu ia i Psychology-has been to'ns',ag,most'intere'sting stugdyias asthe'-most profitable. say the most prohtable' because Qisfapplicable to Clfery lind of vx?drk, a1id practical for our future life in every' sense of'th.e,,,Vword.

So you see we are very sensible people. ' ' I Geography presentations have been more than instructive, especially those in which mists and clouds were introduced. We often became so interested in the teacher's vivid representations that only the call bell brought us back to the actual situation. ' Then Astronomy has drawn tus from this sordid sphere to higher thoughts, and on starlit evenings we have watched the Glory of the Night slowly rise above the horizon enveloping the silent earth ina silvery mantle. Our. eyes have seen, or imagined, craters upon her surface while observation calls into play that ,most apt question, What is the more wonderful, what we know or what we don't know? 1 We have entered. into the general exercises with the customary zeal, spurred on by the hopes of musical successes at Commencement, and have been able to realize those hopes because of the energy of our able instructor.

During the autnmn days they enjoyed boating on .Carver's, tennis and English Hockey on the campus and walks about the town of Bridgewater. Among the latter were included geology trips with the instructor. These trips were helpful as well as pleasurable, and after one of them the Seniors felt almost ready to explain the origin of any hill, valley, etc. , In connec- tion also, with this same work ingeology they were told one day that 'a stone-wall is an excellent place to carry one's interests to'. b Note-books were welcomeQ?Q 'appendages to most of their subjects- and as history map-book appeared about the same time. These map-books must surely have been a source of interest to the teacher in charge, for the variety and vividness of the coloring was at first rather appalling. Perhaps that accounts for the fact that some of the class were obliged to consult oculists and appeared with glasses not long after. The English differed somewhat this term from that of preceding terms and more original work was required, revealing' the fact that there were writers of both prose and poetry in the Senior class. This year, too, the class became acquainted with their bird friends, and many of the cash accounts benefited from the work in book-keeping. The Seniors were almost universal in their eagerness for the second term's work, for it meant at last that they were to try their skill in the wonderful work of leading children. The breadth and responsibility of this work, towards which their entire course had been tending was at last beginning to be realized and each day brought the revelation of deeper mysteries to the careful workers. It remains for the individuals to say which they enjoyed the better the five weeks of training or the alternate period of Normal work. Psychology, too, has given them much to think about, and ' in this class problems of various kinds have been settled through the kind and helpful suggestions of their principal. There is much earnest work in this line and seemingly more than ever since it was said the class may be obliged to extend their Psychology term. The Seniors appear in both the social and the athletic life of the school. Social endeavors have been manifested at various receptions dur- ing the year and athletic ability in basket ball. In the latter, great perse- verance has been shown and with the new gymnasium the team hopes to increase in strength that they may be in the best condition to meet their Section opponents if the opportunify is offered. It must also be said the 'unus homo' in the class is a member of the foot-ball team. The ash trees .certainly have observed more than usual and if you care to know further concerning the class of 1905 the twin friends may be found for some time yet in front of the Normal School, T 44 E W' .-.... l l l 3 AGNES A.

F HE TWIN ash trees that stand as Sentinels on either side of the walk approaching our Alma Mater have been silent wit' nesses of the events connected with the second and final year of the class of 1905. A brief summary of the observations of our verdant friends has been my privilege to record,-- The Seniors could hardly believe as they greeted one another after their vacation that they were really back at 'dear old Normal' again with the last year of preparation spread before them with all its responsibilities, pleasures and Services. Their number was somewhat decreased and only one youth was to be found among them this year, but as yet he has been E able to endure the 'aerem sororium'. 43 f-R--,w.f,.-1--...W . r--1 ----fvr--5--'ff 'i --W A-'Q ,eff--Af--' ff- f--A--- BRYANT, ETHEL CAMILLA Summer street, Kingston ' Editorial Board, 704. 5 CORWIN, RUBY CATHERYN Indian Orchard, Springfield Treasurer '04-,O5.

LL CLASSES have written histories for the pleasure and - enlightenment of their friends, but no class ever needed a i history more for home protection than ours. This was - brought to our notice in a startling manner by one of our I number who declared that she thought she was a Junior! Heretofore we had considered that with greatest freedom came greatest development, but we immediately saw the need of some strict and binding creed which would at least enable us to find our relative position in regard to certain other bodies. ' . . So we proceeded to organize ourselves into a properly conventional body, and We chose a very energetic company of officials who should at least impress outsiders with our worth and position, and forever prevent any misapprehension concerning our class membership. 48 3 l l l A 4 1 I A I r ! l I 4 4 l Q i , , S 9 2 w 1 .0 .au E MIRICK, ETHEL RUTH MITCHELL BEULAH MITCHELL, MARIORIE STOCKBRIDGE Senior Class Historian. 0,DONNELL, ROSE BRIDGET PACKARD, GRACE EMILY PARKER, ALICE MARGUERITE Vice-President of class 'O 5.

H Concord Roxbury Westdale Abington In the course of our meetings we have learned many interesting facts. Twelve of our class have taught before and bring to us experiences many and varied. Several of the prominent colleges are also represented among us, and we have spent hilarious half-hours in relating thrilling adventures of earlier days. n We have found ourselves, as a class, to be remarkably endowed with varied and different talents. Indeed, it has been proposed in view of this, that we open a school where instruction of the most scientific and pro- found kind would be given in all branches, even water color painting, chafing-dish cookery, and Social-Deportment-under-Trying-Conditions. In addition to talent, which is a gift of the gods, we possess large amounts of what is erroneously termed common sense. Our :scale of values,-a term taken from our history study-shows this. We lay no stress on the mere material things of life. We can see a positive, although sometimes invisible, value in what to others is valueless. One of our number carried an empty band-box from some inaccessible part' of the world to Bridgewater. To a frivolous mind this might seem injudicious. It merely shows that we have minds above even an interest in ordinary material substance. Also, in our scale of values, one square glass ink- stand, with hairs in the ink, has a value far above two neat, clean ink- wells with clean' ink, and all for the sake of the subtle, though in this case visible, element of association. We know we are charming to the other classes, to the Juniors especially, and all on account of our sense of humor. Indeed one of the juniors said she thought the Specials were so nice because they laughed so much ! l Our sense of humor is only one of the many things which we have learned to cultivate during our pleasant and profitable year here at Bridge- water. As a class, and as individuals, we have had from our teachers many lessons in real things,-lessons for which we can give thanks only by passing them on. , GZIM6 1RoII. AMY N.

DIXON, University of Wisconsin, West Upton FANNIE FIELD, Teacher, Tewksbufb' 49 At our first meeting officers for the year were elected, and owing to the small membership the president had to perform the duties of Class Historian. The only important event of this meeting was Mr. 'King's speech, in which he made a grand plea that every class should have a certain kind of book and pencil, and buy the same ffor the use of the secretaryj at his store. - This motion was hastily seconded and carried by a fvote of 4 to 3, the president being required to vote. At the next meeting Miss Padelford was delegated to act on the com- mittee which presented a remembrance to Miss Lillian Farnum, a former member of our class. The next meeting was held at the instigation of a Stationary Committee which wished to have a special writing paper for the school. Miss Padelford and Mr. King four business many were 'chosen from our class to act on this committee. So much for the business .work of the class. Our program both for the first and second terms was very satisfying and especially practical. During the first term we learned to reckon how many different positions twenty-seven people might occupy on a car having twenty-eight seats. This was very interesting work and helped one of our members wonder- fully in Advanced Chemistry. It was during this term that Miss Merritt greeted us with the salutation- Welcome, Busy B's. It may have been this greeting that gave to the Advanced Drawing Class, mainly composed of young men, stick-to-it-iveness, a quality which goes hand in hand with the Art of Bookmaking. At any rate this greeting inspired new vigor in us and brought out a working spirit long dormant. During the second term we learned m-uch of the practical side of teaching and each one of us became capable of testing for any defect in eye, ear, or mouth. We accomplished a great deal in. Latin, so that Miss Shaw when asked to give a summary of an author's work, gave a very beautiful translation of the same. In German Miss Padelford upheld the woman's end of it very well, and was so overcome with class spirit in general that she did not miss her girl associate.- The class did so well in English that they completed in one year the courses which former classes had accomplished in two. I am sure Mr. Boyden's views of General History were broadened by coming in contact with our class- at any rate he always received the class with a smile and a word of welcome. These are only a few of the pictures 'fthat hang upon Memory's walls, but they will perhaps help to give the other classes an idea of what they can do if they try hard. It may be well right here to say that our class was a banner class in athletics and schoolfaffairs. We gave four men, ll jwzf-f.'5xv+:-I-.,.IgfE'.'-L-avi! -- V F I Entra-nose To. our lasl Year. V.

I would say .J that nothing would please me more than to write an article Q for your paper. I trust that you will pardon my egotism if I call the article a HISTORY OF CLASS B hoping that you will tell the pupils that this grand class left Bridgewater, june 1906 with very few members and very high honors.. In Sept. IQO2 this class entered the Normal School with a member- ship of seventeen. In September 1904, it returned as Class B, with a membershi of seven. This decrease in membership was due to many P causes, and in each case the class missed a noble man or a noble woman. Y DEAR JAMES, SI .,..1a-- A Class O. I J'CF.3tvvvvw. J GALEN W.

No doubt three or four years seemed a long time to the members of ' Q Class C when they entered the School in '03, but as we glance back, almost at the end of two years, we hardly realize how long we have been Normals, or how soon we shall leave our places to others.

Although there have been many other Class D's, I am at present the only one of that name in 5 this school. For some reason these other classes were anxious to change that name and I suppose I shall be glad to do so later on, but for the present it serves me very well. , I became a member of the Bridgewater Normal School in September 19o4, although I had visited it in june 19O3, also in June 1904, under rather trying circumstances. U When I came those two times I had not gained much of an idea of the life here, and so felt very much a stranger last fall. Now, however, I feel at home and truly think of the school as my Alma Mater. A 56 :fi 1 , , 'G +3 ... ,...........- A 1 . il l L E -9 E .3 ki Ya 4.2 QI f. 1 ri .f- .wi- 2 f From the Seniors, we had heard much of the work in Geography, the Geology trips, the History maps, and the Zoology note books. However, we found in them all interesting and helpful work and continued the courses with zeal and enthusiasm. We really learned to recognize a boulder as being something long like a log only square instead of round, and some of us have become efficient weather prophets. We regret that our class roll has been depleted, for at the end of 'the iirst year it had changed from twenty-three to twenty, and today,..we num- ber but fifteen. Sickness has called the majority of these members away and their faces are missed in every class room. In our former vice-presi- dent, We lost a strong member who at the time of this writing is conhned to his home by severe illness. Again, our number seems small, because seven students are taking the three year course and the classes have beeh much broken up. Only in Book-keeping, Geography, Zoology, and ling- lish do we find Class C together. However, in three of these studies, Geography, Zoology, and English, there are so many extra students that if we look for Class C alone, we findthem only in the quiet and the dignity of the Book-keeping Class. We have one other regret, that a member of our class should speak publicly on so sober a subject as Love, during his second year at Normal. .fr ri As we separate for the second long vacation, we bid one another, Good-bye, and trust that each member will return to his work in the fall and help make Class B a strong and vigorous class. CONCLUSION. Here endeth the story of growing Class C, You soon will hear it is going to B As wise as a sage, and alarmingly deep-A Class without equal, on top of the heap. 51365 1RoII.

My members who were on that team certainly did me credit, and I hope they will do aswell on all theother teams during their course at Bridgewater. I I , I A I During last fall, together with the junior' class, vvhichlenteredat the time I did, I had very pleasant and instructive talks from Mr. Boyden on Elementary Psychology. We were both very sorry when that course was ended, yet I know that later on I am to have that subject continued in an elven more interesting way. By that time, however, I may have a different name. . 'A very pleasant reception was given to the entering classes when I had been here only a few weeks. That reception I shall not soon forget for it was really my introduction to the social life at Normal. In Novem- ber another reception was given by the Seniors to the junior Class and myself. At this reception notable characters in fiction were very cleverly impersonated by members of the upper classes. i I have especially enjoyed the Normal Club during the winter. I have appreciated not only the fine Literary and Musical Courses, but the occasional receptions have done much to make my life at Bridgewater pleasant. I am sorry that those entertainments are nearly over and I look forward to next winter when I shall enjoy similar ones. It would be very pleasing to me to have the chance to welcome again some of those who have entertained us so well on the different Friday nights of this year. I am much interested in the new Gymnasium which is now so nearly finished. It will bea greatpleasure, I know, for me to enjoy the privileges of that building during my time at the school. For some of my members there are only two more years of life here but the majority of us are taking the four years' course. Although it does not seem' possible, I have been here nearly a year It will soon be june and time to leave, but next September I hope to see all my members together again, and I trust that there will be another Class D to take my place. ' 1 57 The only thing that marred our happiness was being obliged to stand before our classes and teach. Every junior remembers her first teaching exercise. . ' We were especially brilliant in Physlcs,-ask Mr. -Iacksonif we weren't Some of our statements were so good that only one word was necessary. to .make them- perfectly correct,-the word Knot . Our eyes ed to some new and startling facts, for instance, 'If one side of were open . the horse goes, the other side will go also, hence where is the need of more than one spur? . we found chemistry interesting and restful, and as our instructor expressed it, a juicy science as 1 compared with Physics. 'Never before studying this subject, did we know how many things could be likened to cheese, or how many times during one hour 'the word homo- geneous could be used with' perfect correctnessnand good taste. i We made-some astonishing useful articles in the industrial labora- tory. Tall and slender book-cases were our specialty. y - In a music examination, our unsuspecting, teacher was -informed that Bach was the Father of the Fudge! and that joseph Beethoven?liartholdy wrote the Ninth Symphony! ! Q A . The class in elementary psychology furnished food for reflection, and brought forth amusing statements from student-teachers who were sup! posed to be rational beings. Nevertheless we knew a great deal more than we had eloquence to express. The information that A word to the wise is useless i was not so warmly welcomed by the English class as a few of us had hoped 'it would be. I , One of our young women thinks it worth while to read about furniture, hangings and rugs. Because said she,. sometime I may have a home of my own, and I shall want to know how to furnish it.

HE Bridgewater Normal School had not long been honored Oli by our presence when someone remarked that the school had not seen such a junior class for years. We ourselves thought we were a little above the average, and were glad to find that we were appreciated. There are so many leaders among us that not one of the teachers knows who is chief. q During our first few days in the school we came to realize the full force of the expression A cat in a strange garret , but the young men did their best to make us happy, or at least to .make us smile, by giving vaudeville entertainments every evening in the reception-room. We looked in awe and admiration at the talent displayed, and secretly rejoiced that Our lot had been cast in Bridgewater. Glue Ellumni. SPECIALS, 1903-1904. George Holmes Read, High School, Norfolk.

Parker, Michael A.Hooley HE OFFICERS and committees of the Normal club have - been very successful this year in giving to the school, enter- L. tainments which were even better than the exceptionally fine ones of last year. It has been the aim of the club from the . 1 first to bring its entertainments up to a higher and higher level, and this we feel sure has been accomplished along the different lines of work during the past year. A - It was with not a little anxiety that the Literary Committee ventured to give a more expensive course than formerly.g The club members, who have thoroughly enjoyed the instructive as well as entertaining evenings, will be glad to know that the expenses have been successfully met. The Musicals, which have also been of the highest order, have been enjoyed by large and appreciative audiences, and have been at financial success. The social life of the Club has not been neglected. We shall not soon forget the many' good times the efficient committee has given us this year. The town people have given their generous support to both courses open to them, in spite of the many attractions in town during the winter. We hope that next year the club will be still more successful in its helpful work for the school. ' 68 y Che offering. y .vf. I-IE limited board covered edition of the Normal' Offering met with so much favor last year and the whole appearance and value of the book were so much in advance of all previous - publications that the editors decided to publish the whole edition of this year in board covers. We hope that the paper covered edition is a thing of the past. , l Special attention has been given this year to the illustrations and a high standard has been set. . I The standard both in illustrations and in literary work should' be higher each year and with these and the support of the students assured, great advances can be made. If there are any errors in classifications of students we ask your gen- erous consideration. - We wish to express the appreciation of the readers and of the Edito- rial Board to the Advisory Committee who have given time and thought for the best interests of the book, to those who so willingly contributed articles, and to the illustrators who have worked without ceasing. We wish also to acknowledge the pictures of the school surroundings which were given by Miss Edna Merrill, Miss Ione Hersey, Miss Cora Miner and Mr. Allen Boyden. 57 Secret Societies. -1lu - 1kappa Zvelta llbbi. 'HE FRATERNITY has passed a successful year and the - prospects for the future are very bright. With the gradua- iiffg ' tion of last year's class only five members were left in school, but seven new men were admitted in the fall making twelve . in all. As only three leave next June and several new candidates will, in all likelihood, be initiated in the fall, the fraternity should have more members in school than it has ever had since its formation. l i , The meetings, this year, have been regularly attended and the initiations afforded much amusement to the school body. A banquet was held in Bridgewater, jan. 21. Twenty-two attended, and after they had been regaled with a fine supper, toasts were in order. . The latest feature of the fraternity program, namely, the Boston banquet, took place May I2 in the American House. . Nearly forty mem- bers attended. An ample supper, followed by toasts, completed the evening's enjoyment. ' V A!RTHUR T. FRENCH, , , p,fg5,',jmg EDWARD L. CURRAN, . i Ist Vz'ce-Preszdeui A. L.

'L ' ' K We have broadened our interests, welcoming friends to our social gatherings, and in our work have been particularly happy in aiding those who have been less fortunate. We hope our efforts to brighten their lives have not been in vain. Of our social gatherings our second annual banquet stands out as being a source of inspiration to us all. This event occurred March 4th and all but three of the old members were able to be with us. The renewal of old friendships and the making of new ones made it an occasion to be forgotten. The coming summer promises an opportunity for a happy and more extended reunion. 'A ' . Those who leave school life behind this year and join the others who hold before them the high ideal of Lambda Phi,'s feel assured 'that the influ- ence of theso-rority life here will be a source of inspiration and encourage- ment to the attainment of our common goal.

Treasurer S' THE various branches of education are well organized so should be that department which controls athletics. It is now i I 1 nearly a year since a new constitution was drawn up and A ' ratified by the members of the Bridgewater Normal Athletic Association. With this as a basis, another period cf efficient Cpwv iff' V9 HV f A m 'QWSNJ work has been completed. The value of athletics in the higher schools and colleges has long been acknowledged. They not only contribute to an all round physical development of those who take part in them but also to the advancement of the school itself. In President Eliot's annual report he recited the dangers 'confronting the athletics of today. While no objection is made to the game of foot ball itself he believes that every contest should be based on high moral qualities and not be a kind of win, no matter how. The reputation which Normal teams have gained for playing a clean game h2lS been quite conspicuous, and it is for those of the present and future t0 maintain the -high standard acquired by those of the past. Basket ball has already received considerable attention, and the coming winter will witness contests in the new gymnasium between this and Other schools. A ' . I 5 It has been interesting to note the support given the Association by instructors and students. The success of any team depends largely on the backms EWCH it by the school it represents. To those who have asslsted by their PFCSGHCG and financial aid we are greatly indebted, and Ullst that the interest shown this year will continue to increase, T 76 wtber Societies. Ztbe 119. ID. CE.

'T HE FOOTBALL season of IQO4 stands out as the 'most - brilliant of any in Normal's career on the gridiron. The first H and, no doubt, the most evident, result is the excellent showing made by the team, which scored over Ioo points ' while its opponents were unable to cross the goal line. Secondly, the spirit of the school in general and the support, financial and otherwise, given the team, refiect the greatest credit upon the students. To the strenuous efforts of Capt. 0'Brien we owe the excellent record of the team. Besides playing his usual brilliant game at half-back, he directed and led his team in a way which made defeat impossible. The members of the team, individually and collectively, deserve credit for their unceasing efforts. As predicted, Hooley and McDonald proved themselves among the fastest ends which B. N. S. has ever pr0- duced. As tackles, Capt. 0'Brien developed two reliable players in Fitzgerald and Waldron. Freeman was tried at guard and proved a tower of strength infhat P0SifiO11. Weber, a new man, occupied the other place at guard and worked well throughout the year. ' I C'.Donnell, at centre, played his customary good game, while Keefe, the quarter-baCk, put up a star game, running the team in a most skillful manner.

But the same old story of - weak batting caused most of the defeat together with a little weakness in fielding and team play. That did not seem enough, for we suffered ourselves to take the short end of the score in our next game with the Brown Sophomores. But we were umpired out of that game, so we cannot count it discredit to lose. So do not say that you have thrown away a subscription on an old baseball team, as some have been heard to remark. You haven't and we shall prove it to you. Now just a word about the players who are striving to uphold the school honors this season. Capt. Keefe, is leading the nine at third, and easily handles almost anything that comes his way. He is also a leader at bat, as well as a shrewd and quick base runner. Waldron, last year's substitute pitcher, has charge of the twirling this year, and his previous experience and clear judgment are standing him in good stead.. He is ably backed by Boyden, although the latter has never played on a regular school team before. We see in him a comer we think and hope. The natural attraction between these two seems to do a good deal for both. O'Brien's work at first is even better than last year, which speaks for itself. McDonald has his own way at second this season, and you would say he was a veteran to see him some nights in practice, for he cer- tainly is playing his allotted plat of ground in very satisfactory style. Hooley at short has made a decided improvement over last year's work, and begins to look all right when he can take seven or eight chances without an error as he did in one game. . Hayes and O'Flaherty, two newcomers, take care of left and centre, and thus far have equalled the record of their honorable predecessors of last season, which requires no further comment. ' The right corner is in charge of Sadler and O'Donnell, who have both sustained thus far,:the only good reputation possible for any player, a clean account. We feel sure they will continue to do so.

V sedate Seniors smiled and said, Prospective Junior! At dinner one of those same Seniors said to her Do you play T ' tennis? If not you had better learn before September for everyone plays here. And truly so it seemed to her as she stood with other homesick juniors watching the animated groups on the CamP11S, about forty-eight hours after her arrival the following September. The past year has seen an even greater enthusiasm for tennis than usual. During the Spring Term the Campus was fairly alive with the world's tennis champions in all stages of development. The Weather Department seemed to be duly impressed with the vital importance of its part in this good cause, and gave us many perfect tennis days. Saturdays were particularly busy days, and some ambitious people even began to play before breakfast, much to the detriment- of balls and rackets. p In Septembef WC came back ready for fresh conquests but the weather-was cold and the pressure of lessons was great, so the conqLiCSf is yet to be in most cases. These limitations made the courts in even greater demand than usual on fine days, so two new courts were laid Otlf down by the ice-house where we could keep cool. ' New courts meant extra work, so the club purchased a court-marker, which seems to work finely on the foot-ball field, and will work equally well, we feel sure, on the courts this -year.

First, in our definition comes theexertion of the physi- cal power, but quite as important asa strong body is the quick mind, under good control, which tells us whenhwheffe, and how to throw that bounding leathern skin. Basketball not only calls upon the physical powers but also upon the mental and moral powers, for there are good tricks and bad tricks in basketball as in other games. H , Through the interest and energy of the captains and through the help of our instructors' in gymnastics, three strong teams have been developed- two from the Senior class and one from' the Sections. The juniors have only just begun to play but even n with.

BAKE. 1.11-s-11 HERE LIVED among the sunny mountains of Italy, so many . years ago that you could count them by hundreds, a hermit. . U T He was a typical hermit, tall and thin, and his scanty locks, which were snowy white, bespoke' his age. He was so old i that the village folk called him Methuselah, and it was even whispered that he had lived ever since the flood and would continue doing so until the end of time. l Although he spent most of this time out of doors in prayer and fast- ing, he had, like all hermits, his one-roomed hut, at the door of which stood a sturdy and magnificent oak. This tree was one of the two bright spots in his lonely life. He loved it almost to idolatry. He made it his shrine, and hour after hour sat under its shade. The one other bright spot in his life was a lovely maiden, who lived in the village below, but who, through numerous visits to the mountain, had become acquainted with the hermit, and had learned to love and reverence him. Never a week ,passed but that she made her way up the dreary mountain to the lonely hut. She went to him with all her sorrows and all her joys. It is needless to say that he returned her love manifold, though she could not rival the oak in his affections. His constant and almost hourly prayer was that in some way, at some time, if it would please his God, that the oak and the maiden, the two things on this earth which he loved best, might be brought together. - And so year after year passed. The maiden had grown to womanhood, and, like many another woman from time immemorial, had married, and been taken by. her husband to that well-known and famous city, Rome. The Oak tree grew larger and more luxuriant, and the hermit, having now H0 other Qblect UPOH which to bestow his love, soon worshipped it. Although 21 holy man, in this he was disobeying his God, and, as if to punish him, 3 terrible thunder storm occurred, doing much damage everywhere. The hermit Saw his beloved oak tree fall before his eyes, struck by lightning' 1 88 'Ulu illh Linn lA'I' Y-.ua HLA mx S 'letters of a Selfamabe 5octaIi5t . I QTo THE TEACHER OF THE NORMAL SCHOOL., WESTVILLE, VT, To the teacher of the Normal School, for his ma's everlastingly talkin' about eggercashun, so I think it's about the safest thing ter get him eggercated as fast as possible. Now I ain't so set on eggercashun myself, always got along all right even if I didn't know jest what kind of a backterie was Hoatin' round in my tea layin' fer meg but my wife, as I said, ever since we had that legersee that Uncle Adoniram Gates left us, has been settern' lockjaw and the rock er gibrolter inshurance Co., on clubs'n historical teas an' eggercashun, so'st I never know whether I'll have to digest a Renniesance supper or an Evoluted breakfast. There ain't no choice thet I can see. So as I said, I'm sendin' the boy ter your school. I-Ie's good lookin' an' smart, an', so his mother sez, takes somewhat after me, though that don't mean that I'm sayin' so myself. I ain't ever one ter brag. There's just a few things thet ain't settled though. I hear that girls at your school is as thick as potater bugs in summer time an' I don't in- tend ter lay out all my money jest ter hev my son exposed ter female in- fluence when he can 'tend all the sewin' sercieties right here ter home fer nothin' without puttin' on his rubbers or gettin' his feet wet. 'I'hat's my opinion. 'N whats more I ain't countin' on his mixin' up any messes that'll bust up sudden an' leave just enough of him fer me ter pay damages on. 'N he won't need that sawin' wood learnin' fer he's done it at home fat least he did before we was mountin' the soshal ladder as my wife sezj but between you an' me an' the postage stamp I'd rather saw wood. I reckon it's quite a place where he's going to an' I wish you'd keCP an We OU him 2111 See't he ain't mixed up in no affairs an' don't get into D0 temptations an' none of that hazin' business thats goin' on sometimes. All, is teacher, get him eggercated jest as fast as you want to and we won't find any fault. , Your obedient servant, . AMBRUS HIGGINS. . P. S.

The oak tree was made into wine casks, which were sent away, the hut also disappeared, and- soon no trace was left of the man who lived there so many years. Now, as it happened, a young but famous artist, wandering listlessly through the streets of Rorne one day, saw that for which he had vainly sought so long. Seated in the shadow of an olive tree was 'a young mother, holding in her armsa beautiful babe, upon whose head a ray of sunlight was shining.. Standing beside her chair was an older, but not less beautiful, child. The artist looked about him for something on which he could sketch the lovely scene, for here at last was his Madonna. The only ,thing available was a number of wine casks made of oak which were standing near. He seized the top of one of these, and quickly sketched the mother and her child. . Hurrying back to his studio, the artist painted his sketch, and so the life-long prayer of the hermit was granted. As a result, Raphael gave to the world one of its greatest Madonnas, The Madonna of the Chair. the wpportunitrg.

I Sposa you knew't Marmadook was to Normull d1dn't you? Well he is. He grows to look a pile like your first husband that he'S named for. That's a fact though I don't know's he acts at all like him, I-Ie's a blamed smart boy anyway if I do say it. The other day the teacher asked him to get up on the platform before all the rest of 'em and make a speech about lickin' kids in school. An' he done it too. Another feller thought he'd be smart an' have something to say too but Dook jest licked him right off then and there an' he ain't had nothing to say sense. They must think a lot er him down there fer the other day I got a letter from the teacher himself sayin't he wished I'd pay attention ter the fact that my son had already got D in two of his studies an' was likely ert get E in music if he kept on. Now I never thought he was pertikularly musical but I always knew that there was geenius in the family an its bound ter crop out! Pay attention-well I guess!! Don't I know I have reason ter be proud of him. The other fellers are mighty thankful ter git B an' C,- Dook told me so himself once. Tain't no one sided skool that he's gone to fer they teach em a sight er useful things too. They've got some sort of a new barn built lately to keep horses in. Dook calls it a gim. Says all the fellers take turns jumpin' over a horse. Sounds like the circus but I expect he'll beat me all ter holler harnessin' when he gets home. With the learnin' an' eggercashunn they are givin' him he could be an' iorator or a musician or most anything, dead easy though his ma won't be content unless he's a soshal facter she sez.

Had she been too harsh with him ? It was a little thing after all-his being so late to dinner. She went up to his room to tell him that his punishment had been long enough. It did not occur to her that he would really disobey ber expressed command. Softly she opened the chamber door and beheld for a moment with unbelieving eyes the empty room. Anger swept away all other feelings as the realization came home to her that he had dared dis- obey her. He deserves a sound whipping, and corporal punishment or not, he will get it. He is probably laughing in his sleeve now at the way he she l than has fooled me. Q But deep down in her heart The Girl knew better-selfish exultation could not be born from the despair manifest on his face as he heard the words for bidding him to leave the house that afternoon. So much for the whim that corporal punishment should not be used, she thought bitterly as she retraced her steps and took up some sewing left from the day before-a little coat with a three cornered tear, in it made by abarbed wire fence which a small boy had climbed over in his eagerness to meet his sister who was just coming from town. Yesterday she had smiled as she saw the rent and remembered the reason for it-now she wondered how boys could be so careless. As the afternoon wore on visions of that same mother's face came t0 The Girl too as she sat busy with her sewing. Her anger slowly melted away and she knew that she never could strike him-the bright beautiful boy who was the pride of all the household. She found herself listening for the sound of boyish feet and the meffl' laugh as he came home from his play. But today would he come in like that? W0L1ld he sneak up to his room ashamed and afraid to meet his sister? No, she did not believe that he would act the coward Child though he was. '94 I 0 8 0 'a I Q er new er e .

Two years at Bridgewater had tempered the passionate nature of The Girl but the very coolness of her self possession deepened the feeling of revolt in her brother's breast. In measured tones came the words: You will obey me in this or I must punish you. Your willfulness has passed endurance. You may go to your room. Without a word The Boy turned on this heel and climbed the stairs to his little room. Thus far his pride had kept the tears from his eyes, but now he threw himself upon his bed and sobbed aloud with his head buried deep in his pillow. I The Boy and his chum were building a hut half a mile away on a beautiful wild hillside. The two boys had spent days of labor upon it. As it neared completion they had planned a party for its dedication and today they were to furnish it. The Boy had promised his chum to be there promptly at two o'clock as they had decided that only by their united efforts could their palace be completed g and now his sister had told him to stay in his room, just because he had failed to come home to dinner when she had said he must. ' ' ' His heart was hot within him and he longed for his mother. . Ah, his mother! When would heusee her gentle face again! It. was two years now since the physicians had said that if she would live she must leave her two children in whom her life was wrapped up and seek a .warmer climate. She had gone accompanied by her husband, and the memory of her brave white face haunted the Boy as he lay on hislittle bed and it soothed- his rebellious spirit. - - Suddenly close by, the clock in the tower struck two, and the thought of his promise to Jack to be at the hut at two o'clock superseded his tenderer feelings, and the old indignation came back.

I hoped to give the class in child study an unusual specimen to analyze, and to see if life among a hundred girls were really as tolerable as my college and boarding school friends would por- tray it. To that end I elected to stay here four years. Verily we live and learn. I I 1. T. HERSEY. Two notices in the catalogue of the Bridgewater Normal attracted my attention and decided my future. One was, The discipline of the school is made as simple as possible. The other, The ultimate object of the Normal School is to make the Normal student as far as possible an educator. There were no educators in our town of whom I had e heard. Iwanted to be different from other people. ' Here was my chance and I took it. I B. E. HoLBRooK.

She did not hear the clock strike the hour of six, or the doorsoftly open as The Boy stood before her. There was neither cowardice nor defiance on the face which he turned toward her. I Went to the hut this afternoon, he said simply. I know you did, was the quiet reply. There was a pause as if each were waiting for the other. Then The Boy said, I am sorry that I disobeyed you but I had to keep my promise to jack. She understood perfectly and her impulse was to tell him so, instead she answered, You may go to your room for the present. After hewas gone she pondered long what to do with him. She had forgiven him long ago, but what of her violated law? What of her authority ruthlessly cast aside? On the other hand what right had she to punish the lad who had told her that he was sorry? Previous to her course at Bridgewater she had been a firm believer in corporal punishment and the divine right- of elder sistersg now her very soul revolted at it in connec- tion with the lad whom she had sent upstairs. Ever since their mother had left them she had tried to be mother as Well as sister to the high spirited lad and this was the first time that friction had been apparent. Long, she pondered, thinking of her responsibility. At last she ascended! to The Boy's room. He lay fast asleep with his head on his arm, too tired to care for supper. As his sister bent over him he stirred and for an instant his eyes opened and his lips parted in a smile. Mother, he murmered sleepily. Swiftly The Girl stooped and kissed him, a glad light in his eyes. He awoke in an instant and as the day's experiences flashed across his mind he sat up and questioned, What are you going to do ? Put you to bed, she smiled, looking into his,eyes, and each knew that the other understood. E. R. M.
