To the friends who have left us, we extend our X If: I i ITH the new school year came some inevitable changes in the heartiest wishes for their success and happiness. To the new-comers, we extend cordial greetings, and the hope that :E they may long be with us. The gracious presence of Miss Reed in the school, and the influence of her rich, kindly nature will long be remembered by all those who knew her., Her place in the Ninth Grade is filled by Miss Ethel P. Wheeler, a graduate of the Salem Normal School, and a teacher from the Lynn Training School. Miss Ruth smirh left the schooi at the end of the year to an the position of physical director in the new Normal School at Upper Mont- clair, New Jersey. Her students are to be congratulated! She is succeeded by Miss Gretchen Gsterhoudt, another graduate of the Boston Normal School of Gymnastics. Miss Price resigned her position in the Seventh Grade at the end of the school year. We hope she will soon be filling her place again in the front rank of public school teachers. Her successor is Miss Myra Hunt who has been transferred from the Fourt hand Fifth Grades. The position in Grades Five and Six is filled by Miss Bertha O. Metcalf, a member of last year's Special Class. We welcome these new teachers heartily. They have certainly made their place among us.

WHEN I was a pupil in the school in the years 1848-49, I the school had been in its new home,-the first building in this hemisphereerected for a State Normal School,- two years. The erection of this building by the State was an epoch in the life of the school, it gave the school a permanent home and placed it on the roll of State institutions. It was no longer an experiment. The building was an attractive wooden structure of the Tuscan order sixty-four feet by forty-two and two stories in height. On the first floor the right front door opened into the men's ante-room and the left opened into the woman's ante-room, and beyond the cross hall was 'a class room and the model schoolroom. Stairways led from the ante-rooms to the second floor on which was the Assembly Hall with desks for eighty-four students, and a class room in each front corner twenty-one feet by twelve' The Assembly Hall was a light cheerful room with an entablature and tinted walls. Each room was supplied with new furniture. Blackboards extended around each schoolroom. The library was small and there was but little apparatus. The location was on the corner of School and Summer Streets, one and one-half acres in extent, a part of the present School lot. Imagine the School in this bright home pursuing its onward, upward course. The personnel of the School included Nicholas Tillinghast, the principal, Richard Edwards, the first assistant and Dana P. Calburn, the second assistant. It was a strong Faculty, the Principal was a graduate of the West Point Military Academy and each of the Assistants became a normal school principal in a few years. The students numbered fifty-six, twenty-seven men and twenty-nine women. Co-eds you 'will note, with two surplus women for chaperons. It was a body of working students from the middle ranks who knew the value of time and money. The course of studies extended, through three consecutive terms of fourteen weeks each. We had a three hours session each half week day Page 18 NORMAL OFFERING . , Volume XI except Wednesday and Saturday afternoons. The studies of the first term were Arithmetic, Mental and Written, Mechanics, Physiology, Grammar, Geography of North America, and the Drawing of Maps. ' The studies of the second term were Arithmetic, Hydrostatics and Pneumatics, General Grammar, Punctuation, Parsing, Physical Geography, Geography of South America and Asia. 4 Studies of third term were Astronomy, Bookkeeping, Optics, Electri- city, etc., Theory and Practice of Teaching, Parsing, Geography of Europe, Africa and Oceanica. During all the terms all the pupils attended to Reading, Spelling, Enunciation, writing abstracts, essays, etc. The elecfive studies were Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Survey ing, Itellectual Philosophy, Rhetoric, Natural History, Constitution of Massachusetts and of the 'United States. Students might extend their course as far' as they chose. We studied Arithmetic very thoroughly, also Geography and Grammar. For a text book in Geography, we used McCulloch's Geographical Dictionary a volume four inches thick. Geo- graphy was then considered to be the a'esc1fzflz'on of the surface of the earth and its products. De Sacy's General Grammar and Greene's Analysis were fruitful studies, the latter included logical analysis of the thought, and grammatical analysis of the expression. Three of the young men made a Trigonometrical survey of Carver's Pond and mapped it. This map was used by the publisher of a map of Plymouth .County Psychology had not then'come into the course of study, but Mr. Tillinghast was our text book in the Theory and Art of Teaching known and read by all of us. Horace Mann closed his service as Secretary of the State Board of Education in 1848 and was succeeded by Dr. Barnas Sears. He- secured for the school two most fruitful courses of lectures. One by Louis Agassiz, the great naturalist, who had recently come to this country. The first sentence of his first lecture was I see before me many bright eyes, I have come to help you see. Then he delineated upon the ,board a huge grasshopper and showed us how he lived and used his sensegorgans. We sovved the seed of the objective study of natural objects which has sprung up and borne fruit in our courses in Natural Science. The other Volume XI NORMAL OFFERING Page 19 course of lectures was by Prof. Arnold Guyot, who came over with Agassiz, who revolutionized the teaching of geography in this country by teaching that geography is the study of the earth as the home of man. On Tuesday evenings once a fortnight the students had a social gathering at the house of the Principal, and on alternate Friday evenings we had our Lyceum meetings, with debates by the young men, and the Normal Offering a paper sustained by the women. These were live meetings. Most of the students boarded in the families of the village at two dollars a week. They roomed in chambers mostly. Some were so lofty that they had attic chambers which looked out upon the front view of life, while some had to be content with the posterior view. A few boarded themselves. Some of the men roomed in Bachelor's Hall, and some formed a Club and Madam Loring cooked their meals for them. Physical exercise was not neglected though we had no gymnasium. The students knew the names of all the streets, and knew all the roads for miles around, and many a, lesson on nature study was learned in their long walks. Carver's Pond in those days was noted for its lilies and snapping turtles. Lover's Lane, a cart path through the woods from Bedford Street to South, across the acreage now known as New Dublin, was distinguished for its scenic beauty. Round baseball was a regular game in the spring, and genuine football, without any toggery or rooting, was a vigorous fall game in which the ball was kicked sky-high. The school was an Institution even then though it was only eight to nine years of age. Institution is the act of setting up g establishment. It was an organized body of persons for the distract purpose of educat- ing teachers. An institution is built upon the men who found it. In this case the first members of the State Board of Education and the first Principal of the school. He was a man of heroic temper, an ardent lover of truth, with keen insight and great analytic power, a'man of faith and prayer, a ripe scholar, who gave hinzsrof to his work, and the word fail was not in his vocabulary. Thank God for the Bridgewater spirit of progress, of enlargement, of culture, of devotion, of service, of inspiration, which has quickened so many thousands of young lives. It has been the animus of the Institution from its very beginning, and is marching on to multiply its achievement. Page zo NORMAL OFFERING -:Volume xr Manual Training. Walter Sargent, Director of Dmfwing and Manual T1'az'n1'fzg, Boston, Mass. HE purpose of education is to fit people for the world in QQ which they are to live, so that, to the fullest degree of 1 their capacity, they may understand it, be efficient forces in it, and enjoy it. An important part of human development has come through constructive work, through industries, through dealing at first hand with actual materials. To plan any useful piece of construction and carry it to completion so it is suited to its purpose and is a creditable piece of workmanship, requires clear thinking, and a concrete use of arithmetic, so exacting and necessary that mere book problems seem like phantoms in contrast. A childwhose arithmetic is occasionally put to the test of someshop problem where the results of mistakes are indicated, not by marks on paper, but by pieces of wood that will not fit, is aroused to a new sense of the reality of mathematics and its necessity in the world's work. He has a new incentive to accuracy. Q Manual training impresses upon students two important truths : I. That persistent effort is required to carry an idea to completion in material. i p ' 1 2. That in spite of discouragement, sustained effort, carefully planned, will usually bring success. The realization of these two things is an essential part of education and it is difficult to see how it can be developed without actual ficontact with materials. I I A child who thinks that hasty, thoughtless sawing and planning will produce a creditable box, soon learns his mistake. If he has a, skillful teacher the result will not be discouragement but a desire to do the sort of planning and shaping that will result in a satisfactory box. He approaches a new piece of construction in a soberer spirit, with a realization of the Volume XI NORMAL OFFERING Page 21 effort and time that will be required to complete it, but with a confidence begotten of experience, that he can do it well. This is a very different sort of confidence from that which undertakes athing with the idea of finishing it with little effort because there has been no experience with the difliculties of shaping material. Manual training thus brings a sympathetic appreciation of the intelli- gence and labor entering into the planning and executing of the world's industrial work. Manual training also gives opportunity for a practical use of design. It should emphasize the truth that good design is not merely ornament added after a thing is made, but consists of the following elements : I. Well related proportions and shapes of necessary partsj 2. Excellent workmanship. 3. Such decoration as will unobtrusively emphasize the shape, structure, or significance of the object. Much of the beauty of a constructed object is in the relation of proportions of the necessary parts. For example, the greatest element of beauty in the front of a house is the relation of height to width, and the spacing of the windows and doors within the area. The feeling of satisfaction that arises because a piece of work is skillfully done is another large element in aesthetic pleasure. The addition of decoration helps, but is a much less important element than the other two. Manual training of the right sort is a necessary part of education for all, whatever the future occupation is to be. It also is the beginning of industrial education. The efficiency of any school system that does not include the manual arts may reasonably be questioned. Page 22 NORMAL OFFERING Volume XI The Search for Significance. Emily Curtis Fisher. Ever lei Ike Fancy vfoczm, Fancy, high-c01m1zz'ssz'01eerz' .'-semi her! I, EACHERS, read if you will for your text I-lenryis stentorian v appeal: You, good yeoman, whose limbs were made in I LL Tl 4 Q England, show us here the mettle of your pasture. The game's afoot: follow your spirit. Find your seemingly is small field within its walls of your school-room one of the foci of the world action today, This is no mere fancy: it is prophetic vision of the world response. Over in the corner of the world province: this school-room, is an empty seat. Far outside, somewhat farther away than the eye can reach, on the edge of the great swamp, in the little hut lay the sick child, the youngest child of the oldest remnant of the last tribe of the North American Indians. The doctor has merely stated conclusively that her life must close. It is a lawgsthat tribe must die. There is only the fading of the centuries behind her. No individuality attained 5 no immor- tality gained. just outside the gate of the schoolaroom huddle the Messinians over the few bundles of possessions saved by effort and gathered with them- selves out of the wreckage of their last heritage, and their vanished world. Within the hrm walls of the newly reached oasis sit the frightened, keen- eyed searchers. They have fled from the gods of undoing, they are seeking the gods of being The pathway is blazed and open for each one. There is no hesitation in their choosing and -eager acceptation of the entrance to American ideals. Thro' the open door of our school-rooms are filing the procession of Messinian children who have fled with all their possessions. Only a few months ago one of these pioneer Aideks brought into the school-room. with a noble mien, and a proud possession a band-box which Volume XI NORMAL OFFERING Page 23 he guarded and watched and sententiously observed and noted. As he departed the teacher said, I am interested in what you have in your box. Aide quickly replied, I have a Christmas present for my mother 1 a bonnet. Now she be a 'Merican lady. While he outwardly garbs his mother as an American, he gradually clothes his thoughts with aspects of 'American ideals. E In still another part of this room sits a little Russian boy, with eyes that seem to look inward instead of outward, whose face seems to be lighted from within. Altho' he has' a hundred year-old American name of an English source, he conceals naturally what his parents have always fearfully concealed of their refuge and safety in America. VVithin this same school-room on the front seats sit Oscar and Sophie,with near-sighted, searching eyes following closely every expression of the teacher's. r Several years ago they were born in Sweden, as babies they were brought to this country, only to be imbued with the spirit of the life of the individual and then dragged back to the place of their cradle. The following year, by begging and borrowing enough for their passage, they returned to the door-step of their New England house where they had once lived and there waited the opening of the neighbors' hearts, and the school-room doors. In these years of opportunity, they have worked from one grade to another, into college and into the great demands of American life. These are all partial stories. The great whole is not yet completed. All the American ideal is still in the forming. Although life may seem to be confronted with darkness, we can hear the whispering of Amycus and Celestin. Today there is being gradually defined the entrance into consciousness of what may be called a new faculty: telepathy-one is impressed occasionally with the clear inseeing that one soul has of another. One feels it In the Far Country, and The Great Adventure, of Fiona Macleod, and also in the great book of Revelations-in the Behold' I see before me an open door. This thought is not one that can be passed over lightly, or even laid aside. Each one who attains the infinity of this new faculty, now incipient in us all is helping to build a conscious' ness general for all human beings. i The years are not many when each one of us, in place of the excep- tional few at present, shall have attained the faculty, telepathy, even as Page 24 NORMAL OFFERING . Volume XI the faculty, memory is developed in all normal human beings. There are likewise many undeveloped faculties in the human soul, but the possibili- ties of development are numberless, dependent solely upon the attainment of individuals. It is from this point of view that the many so-called philanthropical, religious, cultural, emotive, vital efforts are right and valuable. It is you, teachers, who open the door to the thirteen or more nations who send their representatives to your little kingdom to be assimilated, unilied in purpose, led to grow and be wise, to take fast hold of instruction, to gain the ideal of neighborliness to all-of rights to each : that Syrians and Swedes, Alanders and Asiatics may search together for the great theme of life. Herein lies the great potentiality: the dynamic force for the whole. The significance is revealed step by step as little citizens arise. You, O teacher, more than all others, knows the truth of the literal translation: Thy will be being done, thy kingdom be being Come. In the words of the great American poet you know that they go toward the best-toward something great. The Professional Spirit. MCH whither do you wander, Student Fair, With such a nervous and erratic air, Who used to be so gay and debonair? I seek the Professional Spirit. And what is that my wise and youthful friend, By which you're rendered joyless near the end Of your Long Course? 'Tis valueless, depend! I seek the Professional Spirit! For- 'Tis THAT which covers up a multitude of sins, 'Tis THAT alone which Commendation gives, V 'Tis THAT which spells Success, when work begins! And so- I seek the Professional Spirit! Maud M.

' Brown, teacher of vocal expression, gave a presentation ,fb Q52 l Q of Shakespeare's . As You Like It. The production Sled P--i f 'mtl was in every way a success, the measure of which was made possible by three causes: first, able direction, second, earnest and faithful work on the part of the students 5 third, loyal cooperation of other departments of the school. For months the play had been in preparation. The cast was chosen after preliminary competition before judges for the leading parts. The costumes were chosen with unusual care. The presentation was without scenery and without curtain, yet the play moved along with pleasurable vigor' and completeness. It was enacted before a very large and apprecia- tive audience. Miss Brown was ably assisted by Miss Elizabeth Anthony in the rehearsal work and behind the scenes. The entire cast showed excellent drill and understanding. Lack of space forbids the enumeration of indi- vidual merit, but it should be said in passing that Miss Lester's Rosalind was a characterization of much grace and charm, happily supported by Miss Carr's Orlando, and Miss Leonard's Celia. Many others are worthy of note. While this performance meant much hard work to the participants' its value outlasts the evening's pleasure, and consists not solely in the spell of the master-playwright in this most charming comedy so rich in beautiful lines, but in a permanent gain in power of expression. Page 28 NORMAL OFFERING u Volume XI Alumni Day, 1908. Clara Bancroft Beatley, Class '90, large number of Alumni gathered in Assembly Hall, W' on Saturday, june the twentieth, for the biennial meet- ing of the Bridgewater Normal Association. Special reunions had been planned for pupils of Mr. Tillinghast ,, and Mr. Conant, also for graduates of 1863, and of every fifth class following. This arrangement brought many members of the classes especially invited, while it did not lessen the attendance of others whose frequent return to Bridgewater encourages comradeship with every class from 'earliest to latest. The mercury rose to a high mark that early summer morning, and continued to mount as the train slowly gathered the alumni from the many stations on the way, but its efforts were exceeded by the warmth of the greetings which never fails the returning sons and daughters of dear old Bridgewater. A A Bright flowers in profusion, in the Assembly Hall, delighted the eye, while the ear was greeted by welcome songs of the Glee Club. From hand to hand the greeting Hows, From eye to eye the signals run 5 From heart to heart the bright hope glows, The seekers of the Light are one. Magic is the touch of Alma Mater! It was but the deed of an instant to bring all winds and hearts into the unity of the Spirit. How- ever separated in the past, by space and time, the voices blended spontaneously in one glad voice : It is glad to be here ! Mr. john T. Prince, the President of the Bridgewater Normal Asso- ciation interrupted the busy hum of voices at IO o'clock for the session of business. The secretary, Miss Myra E. Hunt, and the treasurer, Mr. Charles P. Sinnott presented reports. A Principal Emeritus, Albert G. Boyden, as chairman of the committee appointed to honor the pioneers and principals of the Normal School Volume XI NORMAL OFFERING Page 29 movement in America, reported the placing of cast-bronze tablets at each side of the main entrance to the School, the one in honor of the Pioneers, james G. Carter, Rev. Charles Brooks, and Edmund Dwight,-the other, commemorating the work of the first principals of State Normal Schools, QI839-,405 Cyrus Peirce, Rev. Samuel P. Newman, and Nicholas Tilling- hast. The Committee reported- also the publication of a pamphlet contain- ing brief sketches of the lives of those distinguished men,-further, that this printed memorial had been sent to contributors and to other interested persons, and that copies were on hand that day for distribution. From this time onward whoever enters this school-building may read the names of these high--minded, true-hearted men, and may know that Bridgewater honors the work of the fathers for the education of the youth of our land. A vote of appreciation of this achievement, was passed with enthu- siasm. The members of the Memorial Committee were Principal Albert G. Boyden, Hon. George H. Martin, and Mr. Joshua Kendall. Another piece of important business was the presentation of a motion by Principal Arthur C. Boyden, providing for an Alumni Loan Fund for the benefit of promising pupils. With such help the opportunities of the school will reach a larger number of students, and secure for the State a greater efficiency of teaching service. Hon. George I-I. Martin, Mr. Robert C. Metcalf, Mr. john D. Billings, Mrs. Anna Sawyer Cooper, Mrs. Flora Townsend Little, and others spoke in favor of this motion, and it was unanimously carried. Mr. Robert C. Metcalf, Miss Emily C. Fisher, and Mrs. Flora Townsend Little were appointed to serve with the Faculty as a Loan Fund Committee. Mr. Metcalf moved that the fund be started at once, the subscription paper to be passed at luncheon, and it was so voted. All who knew one beloved member of the Association were touched to learn of the immediate gift of KIDO in her memory. The Committee on Necrology reported in print, from july IQO6, to june 1908, forty-tive names of those who have left our earthly company. Some of these were among our best known graduates, others rendered their faithful account in those hidden ways none the less useful because publicly unheeded. Time would not permit a spoken tribute, but tender memories crowded, as certain names on the printed role were silently read, and for a moment the glorious cloud of heavenly witnesses seemed very Page so NORMAL OFFERING ' voiume Xi near. The singing of the Glee Club in the midst of the proceedings was delightful. The Alumni gatherings are much indebted to Miss Prince and to her group of student singers for their gift of song. It seems native to Alma Mater, so free is it from studied effects of training, yet long and patient is the art that reaches such high attainment. A happy period of Class-reu nion followed the hour of business, the ample class rooms providing for many groups of classes to renew acquaint- ance. At the appointed time, all returned to Assembly Hall, and formed in procession,-Mr. john P. Billings, the chief-marshall, leading the way to the Albert Gardner Boyden Gymnasium where a bountiful feast was spread. . The perfect appointments of the buildings, the cheerful decorations, the attractive tables called forth many expressions of praise, as at every hand appeared the evidences of personal thought for the home-coming Alumni. The inviting luncheon prepared under the supervision of the Matron and served by the students brought a cordial vote of appreciation. An item of business preceded the after-luncheon speaking. The Nominating Committee reported the following names for the officers of the Bridgewater Normal Association for the two years ensuing : For President, Frank P. Taylor. For Vice Presidents, Alonzo Meserve, Arthur Stanley, Allen P, Keith, Clara B. Beatley, Flora P. Little. For Secretary, Myra E. Hunt. For Treasurer, Charles P. Sinnot, These officers were unanimously elected. Mr. Prince, after a brief word of greeting, called upon Principal Arthur C. Boyden for the speech of welcome. The spontaneous outburst of enthusiasm with which Mr. Boyden was received bore testimony to the high esteem and loyalty of pupils past and present. The heavy responsi- bility of his task must be greatly cheered by the knowledge that his position at the head of the Bridgewater School fulfils to o'erHowing the desires of all whohave the interests of Alma Mater at heart. With Mr. Boyden, progress is the law of life. The school will move steadily forward as it realizes his ideals. His welcome rang true with a note of good will and courage. Volume XI NORMAL OFFERING page si A quiet fell upon the meetings, when the Rev. F. C. Gray was pre- sented to speak of Miss Isabelle S. Horne, for this was the first biennial gathering to miss the genial presence of that beloved teacher and friend. Mr. Gray spoke for all who knew and loved Miss Horne a true word of appreciation. Her work still lives in many a school-room, pulpit, and assembly-hall. In the minds of the graduates of thirty years ago, she will be forever associated with Miss Woodward, of sainted memory, for whom she had a strong attachment. In a friendship so true, one may well believe there was provision for a heavenly re-union, and that death proved but a covered way that opened into light. The pupils of Mr. Martin were made glad by his genial presence, and by his unfailing wit which sent many a searching truth unawares to its lodging place with a happy rebound of spirits. Mr. Martin's appreciation of the Bridgewater School comes from a larger view of the educational field than is given to the Alumni in general, and his word of cheer is spokon with that impartial vision of the great, who see not as they wish but as they End. The tribute of Mr. George A. Martin, of the tenth class 41843, who represented the pupils of Mr. Tillinghast's day, was full of noble sentiment. Vividly he sketched the personality of that able first Principal, giving less frequent play than commonly to the view of humor which has ever been inseparable from his speeches. His eyes seemed to be looking into the spiritual kingdom, as he talked of his great teacher and friend. How little it was realized that never again would Mr. Walton delight the Alumni meetings with his presence. Mr. Martin has said ofuhim, He will be remembered by thousands of teachers as the man who helped. It is pleasant to recall that his last words at Bridgewater pointed to the high example of Mr. Tillinghast. judge Osborne and Col. Kingsbury spoke of Mr. Conant and the growing school under his administration. There were many of Mr. Conant's pupils to respond to the glow of these tributes. Mr. Alonzo Meserve, Mr. Elmer Curtiss, and Mrs. Anna Sawyer Cooper represented the graduates of Mr. Boyden, each in his own way opening the gates of many happy memories. Mrs. Cooper took for her subject, High Noon, proving her faith in the growing joys which come with the responsible years. Page 32 NORMAL OFFERING Volume XI R' The beloved Principal Emeritus was greeted with glowing faces as he spoke of his own indebtedness to the Principals of the past, his joy in his own life-work, and his faith in the future of the school. Many were reminded of their student days, when in the general exercises Mr. Boyden talked of Mr. Tillinghast and of Mr. Conant, until the portraits on the wall became a part of the living present. It was a happy thought which made this Biennial the occasion of special tribute to the earlier Principals. Today, as of old, it is good to pause and say, Let us now praise famous men, that we may learn from their experience, follow in their paths, and together feel the glad assurance that All the good the past hath had Remains to make our own time glad.l In such an hour of grateful remembrance, grows the reasonable hope of a greater, fairer future. A . The time had speed all too quickly, but home-bound trains are relent- less, so with a song for Auld Lang Syne, and with rejoicing for another happy Biennial, the meeting adjourned. i juniors. CNEATH this gold autumnal sun, Can there any harm befall? When a new life is begun Gladly answer every call. Others mayhap know of sorrow, But for us a glad tomorrow ! Give to us a long bright day Pack therein a thousand things, Freedom in our song and play, And the joy that friendship brings 5 So for us a glad tomorrow, We have shut our eyes to sorrow! Seniors. CNEATH the slender crescent moon By the elm-tree shaded hall, All the long, long nights of June, How our spirits rise and fall! Surely we must meet with sorrow, For we leave our friends tomorrow!

Browne, 'O 1. Volume XI NORMAL OFFERING Page 33 The Faculty Reception. HE reception given in honor of the graduating classes by the Princi- pal and members of the Faculty was held this year at Groveside, Mr. Boyden's home. The house was beautifully decorated with roses and green foliage, and an orchestra playing at frequent intervals during the evening added greatly to the enjoyment of the occasion. After being most cordially received by Mr. and Mrs. Boyden and others of the Faculty, refreshments were served in the dining room, each guest receiving a small silk Hag pin as a souvenir of the occasion. We wish to extend our most hearty appreciation of the evening's enjoyment to the Principal and members of the Faculty, Coming back to Normal Hall, -the graduates formed a large circle in front of the south piazza, and sangtogether for the last time the old songs ending with Alma Mater. lAnd one more evening, long to be remembered by scores of Alumni, was ended. A. W. W., '08, Baccalaureate Sunday. HE graduating class of 1908 departed somewhat from the previous custom for Commencement Sunday and gathered in Assembly Hall for the Baccalaureate exercises on June 21. . The exercises were held at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The graduates were massed in the centre of the hall, while the Faculty were seated at the left of the platform, and the guests at the right. The Normal Glee Club furnished appropriate music for the occasion. The speaker of the day was Dr. Albert M. Hyde, of Brockton. The subject of his address was The Call for the Thinker, his text being St. Luke 22-27, For whether is greater, etc. Page 34 NORMAL OFFERING p voiume Xi All who were privileged to hear Dr. Hyde's sermon were inspired by the power and glory of the divine right of service to mankind and to God. To the graduates, this truth was directed with especial force, because to them was soon coming that new and great field of service to which their profession had summoned them. As we departed from this our own Baccalaureate service, we believed that the highest tribute we could pay our Alma Mater was to go forth to our work with strong hearts, and make our toil count on the side of true service. B. N. L., '08, The Debate. NE of the most interesting features of the commencement exercises was the competitive debate held in Assembly Hall on the Monday evening before graduation. THE QUESTION :- Resolved-That further increases in the United States Navy are undesirable. AFFIRMATIVE :- George W. Gammon, Randolph L. Harlow, Daniel V. O'Flaherty-Alfemata' Edward A. Lincoln. NEGATIVE 3- Charles J. Fox, Charles F. Frahar, Leroy K. Houghton- 'Alternatm William H. Chapman. . JUDGES :- Judge Wm. I-I. Osborne, S. Gardner Bassett, Roland M. Keith. The judges decided in favor of the negative. Volume XI NORMAL OFFERING Page 35 Graduation. O a student at dear old Normal graduation means a mingling of joy and sadness. Joy was upper-most when the throng of people gathered on june 23, IQO8 to see the graduates, seated under a canopy of green, receive their diplomas. The exercises began at IO o'clock with scripture reading and prayer by Rev. E. E. Maglathlin of West Bridgewater, followed by a hymn and response by the students. The graduates were most fortunate in hearing an earnest, inspiring address by Dean Hodges of Cambridge. The Glee Club rendered two selections quite in the joyous spirit of Commencement. In behalf of the graduating classes, Daniel V. O'Flaherty, President of Class A, presented a large United States flag to the school, with two silk flags which are effectively draped around the Memorial tablet to the young men who left Bridgewater to give their lives for their country. Mr. Arthur Boyden received the gift, speaking a few words of much inspiration to the graduates. The singing of Ufziorz and Libergf fitly followed the presentation and acceptance of the flags. Diplomas were presented by Mr. George H. Martin, followed by the singing of America, giving our Alma Mater another band of loyal Alumni who will ne'er from her guidance depart. . A. B. W., 'os. ' 93' 4 f, '- A102 ... 4 . The Ivy Exercises. WING to a shower in the early afternoon, the Class of IQO8 was obliged to hold a part of its exercises in Assembly I-Iall. At 2.30 the graduates in cap and gown entered the rear door of Assembly Hall and participated in the symbolic march which has come to be one of the customs of our Alma Mater. After the welcome by Miss Lynch, President of the Senior Class, we reviewed, with Miss Keating, our respective careers of the past two years. The oration, delivered by Miss Leonard, was followed by the class poem by Miss Cook. In the prophecy, Miss Flieger promised brilliant and varied futures to the embryo school teachers. The class song composed and directed by Miss Anthony, completed the indoor exercises. By this time, the weather was again pleasant, and it was possible to have the Ivy March as it was originally planned. The close of the march found us gathered around the south side of the Gymnasium where the ivy was planted and the spade presented to the Junior Class. It was accepted by Miss Monk, who, in behalf of the junior Class, promised to guard care- fully the fair name of our beloved school. . M. I. L.. '08. Volume XI NORMAL OFFERING Page 37 The Section Reception. F by the guests at the Section Reception of the Class of 1908 no great difference from previous functions of a similar character was noticed, the same cannot be said of the twelve loyal ones who stood together for the last time. Perhaps in the words of our class song others would find no new theme. The music was only a hymn often sung in Chapel 5 yet, to those who sang them, these were words of one of their numbers who could best express what the hearts of all wished to say, and that hymn, sung at so many remembered occasions of greeting and parting, in the H Assembly Hall with all its associations, was a loved one. The scene was laid in its customary place-the Old Gym., the bar stalls and ropes twined with the usual cat-brier, and the punch-bowl was the very same one borrowed from generation to generation from Mrs. Newell, and promised weeks beforehand to zealous chairmen of the food committee, lest someone should get it first for her spread. ' True, some did notice an occasional innovation in the shape of the startling and unannounced arrival of the punch, the bright coloring of the cozy corners, and the B. N. S. banners on the walls. They laughed and applauded at the slams on the class members, and speculated about the meaning of the caps and gowns. But little did they know that the Old Gym. was chosen because of its memories-that those who arranged the cosy corners, and twined the cat-brier around the swinging ropes, realized that this was the last time they would work together as they had for four happy years. Few knew that the cap and gown stood for the attainment that only four years of hard work, patience, determination, and high purpose can win 5 and that, like their college brothers and sisters, the members of the Class of IQO8 were showing on this day of attainment, their love and loyalty for their Alma Mater. A. L. B., 'os. Page ss NORMAL OFFERING ' Volume XI The Promenade. IKE the break of a rocket or the final meteor shower, in all the splendor of the general conclusion of a splendid day, came the last joyous function of the class, the Prom. The Gymnasium was decorated as usual, the long twisted streamers of red and white changing the familiar lines to a festive hall. But gay as the hall, gayer the people, for many happy congratulations beamed from the face of friend to proud neophyte, as many too passed by word of greeting. To complete the picture of happy departure the sweet sound of violins mingled with the sterner accompanying instruments, and the promenade was on. But -1 in logical order the reception comes before the promenade. Mr. Boyden and the class presidents received the happy throng, after which the promenades began. Geometricians could scarce trace the forms there drawn, increasing in their intricacy with the growing hours till in the last glow of the burning rocket, the hnal prom. with all its varied meaning and forms, led by the youngest in heart of all that happy throng, closed, and the never-to-be-forgotten class day festivities were over.

THEibrave Ulysses,itempteld'to thef-proof Of his great skill by fthe Phaeacian youth, Seized,,in his hand a broader, ,heavier quoit, And, swinging it around, on its exploit He sent it forth. It sounded as it went, And the Phaeacians, seeing, lowly bent, As o'er them from hislskillful hand it flew, Then, eager, ran the landing-mark to view. Here Pallas, with loud voice, their efforts shamed, As, driving down thc stake, she glad exclaimed, A blind man, stranger, groping here,fcould find Thy mark full easily, for bear in mind That not among the many did it fall, But flying onward, passed beyond them all. Such task is thine: Eternal Powers respond. Make strong the heart, the arm, to throw beyond! C. B.

Secretary HELENA BELLE BAKER, . Treasurer CLARENCE ARTHUR WHEELER, . Hz'storz'au ' N MOST works of Art, there is, mingled with a vast i mn amount of knowledge, at least an equal amount of pedantry and folly. If it be a literary masterpiece, though written in a brisk and genial style, it may be so g encumbered with irrelevant matter that nobody will waste his time in reading it as a whole. In such a case, say I, select such as pleases, and pass on. Four years ago, or to be exact, in the fall of 1905, there appeared on that portion of this mundane spheroid, known as Bridgewater, an indefinite, incoherent homogeneity. Whence it came, no one knew, whither it was going everybody knew, for year after year, at about the same time, Page 46 NORMAL OFFERING Volume Xl there are similar local disturbances on our planet, and annually a similar invasion is made upon the Bridgewater Normal School, in the shape of an entering class. From out this aforesaid mass, there has been crystallized a definite, coherent heterogeneity,-rational beings, having a strong tendency toward the school-room. Such an evolution I might add, is education,--an education which has for its object the properties and relations of schools, parents, children, and teachers. Today we are only twelve in number,-but what a dozen, oh, my countrymen! Never liave there been like unto us in the annals of B. N. S. From the wise, winning, and witty one who heads our list, to Sybil, who is ever thoughtful of her Small friends, we have been a happy family, trying to give our school the best we had, and desiring in return all that it had for us. There are our girls, prominent in the social life of the school, and active in all its best interests. And our boys, whom Normal lads and lassies may miss when basketball warriors of another clime shall again in- vade the grounds of Qld Bridgewater. Perchance, in the future, another Class A' may arise that will cause the fame of the present one to sink into extremest darkness. Yet in the language of our old friend- Maybe there will, but I doubt it. We are the last, my classmates, who will remember Principal Emeritus as principal of the school. How much we owe to him, we little realize, yet the least we can do is to feel that in him we knew a man, a teacher, and a friend. To our other teachers we can but return grateful thanks. Re- member how, at the end of our first term, we knew more of our subjects than they, after our second year we were not so Sanguine, and now we wonder whether we are not now only reading the preface of the book of wisdom. I sometimes wonder if we can safely relate why the Pyramids of Egypt were built, or why Greek was ever invented, or why the gas- trocnemius of the cat did not follow the spinal column instead of being a muscle of the lower leg, or, perhaps, why the glacier deposited Sprague's Hill so uncomfortably near the Normal School. But our allotted time has almost passed, and the call has been heard to fold their tents like the Arabsf' and depart for life unknown. As the end of our student days draws near, it is not of our athletics-not of our social gatherings-not even of the pleasant four years we have spent Volume XI NORMAL OFFERING Page 47' together that we are thinking. Our thoughts naturally wander onward :- What has the future in store for us? Yet, whatever our degree of suc- cess, shall we not remember the friends of our school days, the happiest periods in the life of any Normal student? Old Alma Mater, farewell! Class Roll.

NCE upon a time, in the beautiful Forest of Arden, there i .2 Q, . . . xr-X dwelt a knight of lordly mlen and mighty. From the Wil distant land of Armenia he came, to study a new and - X' - - . 5 . . wondrous language, that one day he might return to his vwea' We-'i people with a vast store of knowledge. Through the summer and autumn, when the forest Hamed into brilliant eolorings and died, he labored, and hy his side a maiden fresh from college. But one day, lo! up the southern slope came a youth, a mere Infante, with bewitch- ing eyes and charming manners, and from the north two others, of ma- turer years, who had heard of the forest, of its wealth of resources, where one might learn of all things in the heavens above, the earth and all that thereon is, human nature and otherwise. , i Such was the beginning of the new hand, which, during that memor- able autumn of Anno Domini nineteen hundred and eight and the sueced- ing spring, became one of the mightiest in the land, for there was added Page 60 NORMAL OFFERING Volume XI to them a company of men and maidens, the choicest of the land of their birth. From Carlyle, Berkley and a little West of Haverhill they came, full of wisdom and sage advice, yet, withal, quite gay. One among them was a poet, an artist, and a felicitator of all whom she met, and with her dwelt a singer, whose bell-like notes mingled with the songs of the birds at even. Near them tarried two maidens, graceful and bonny, who were wont to walk hand in hand about the Forest, when the shadows were chasing away the cares of the day, and the winds were sighing fl-Iarllow. Yea, and one from the spunnyfland of Mexico, one from the South, whose handshake was firm and strong, another whose cheery smile and melodi- ous voice lightened many a burden, and she of quiet manner, but very wise. Then there were those two whose dry humor bound all in royal fellowship. But most learned of all were the two from that wondrous country of Boston-tall and great the man , modest and gracious the maid -college dignities they. For there be some in special in whom that all virtue dwellethf' Every path of the Forest this band explored and searched in their thirst for knowledge, with the one purpose of fitting themselves to teach young human beings to live. The mornings slipped quietly through east- ern gates, the evenings vanished silently through western portals. There were some days in which all life seemed sublime in golden sunshine, and some were flecked with shadows, but those hours-the crisisof their in- tellectual life-which they spent with their great leader and friend, will always be memorable. F One day, when they had well-nigh forgotten that life for them in the Forest had any limitations in space or time, there was a subtle change in the air, a gentle breeze rustled the leaves, and their leader bade them fol- low him to the summit of the highest hill. Gradually their horizon wid- ened. Below lay the beautiful Forest of Arden. Beyond stretched in- numerable cities. Behold, said the leader, before you lies a world of opportunities. One moment they scanned the old familiar footpaths, and were gone. But By Fame's impetuous car their glory round the world is spread , in truth, they are Specials in their profession. , volume XI NORMAL OFFERING Page si Class Roll.

For, lo, three years have Hown by since we entered this famed institu- tion of learning, and, behold, we are no longer infants, but distinguished Volume XI . NORMAL OFFERING Page 63 educators, capable Qin our own mindsl of preparing the twentieth century child for the battle of life. The events of our first two years in this school will always remain fresh in our memories, but since they have already been recorded in Books I and II, let us turn for a short period to the deeds of the year which is now drawing to aclose. This third year has been a memorable one-memorable in the sense that it marks our passage from the elementary to the advanced, from the scholastic to the collegiate. This transition from the primary to the higher realms of knowledge has been accompanied by much hard work, but, not- withstanding, there has never been a moment in our class-rooms in which the brighter side of life was not uppermost. Cheerfulness and Good Fellowship has always been the motto of Class B., and thus it is that all our recollections of past events are such happy ones. The young men of the class, especially Mr. Spooner, will never forget the pleasant stag parties which were held in the Advanced Physics class, The English Literature class will always remember with joy or pain Qas the shoe fitsj the research work of Miss Teague, which led to the enunci- ation of that world-famed axiom that the men of today are not so chival- rous as were the knights of old. Alas! Alas! Truth is stranger than fiction. Not to be outdone by the eternal feminine, Mr. Chapman has con- ducted a research expedition on the Marsh Test, and has proved conclu- sively to the Chemistry class the fact that Marsh Tests Qunder favorable conditionsj tend to take an upward direction. This self-same class was the seat of another important discovery, for it was in this class that Miss Pillsbury discovered the fact that there are other unknowns in this world besides Normals. Another amusing incident of the year's work was the attempt of Mr. Parker to write German script in the German class. A It may be well said of the result that is lasst sick nicht lesen, it does not permit itself to be read. These little escapades, with the possible exception of Miss Waugh's annual visits to the class room, have tended to make the class room pleasant for the other members of the class, and have also given them en- couragement in their struggles with the Wheatstone Bridge, Mendel's Law, and that labor-saving device which is known to students of advanced Page 64 NORMAL OFFERING C Volume Xl Math. as logarithms. A The little incongruities show what an incongruous class we are. How- ever, with all its inconsistencies, Class B. is a gem of the first water, a class of which all its members may feel proud, a class which shall, in future years, reflect honor and credit upon the school which fostered it in its youth. i A And now, in closing the third book of our romance, we desire, as a class, to thank all our instructors and friends for their kindness towards us this year. We also desire to bequeath to our successors, at present, members of Class C, our best wishes for the same kind of year as we have enjoyed. And thus, having done our duty, we pass onto take up the robes of our predecessors. Such is Life. Classes come and classes go, Normal School, our Normal School, Yet in deep and peaceful flow, , Normal School, our Normal School, Shall thy streams of learning wide W Through the ages grandly glide, Ever to thy sons a pride, Normal School, our Normal School.

EPTEMHER tenth, nineteen hundred eight, we, The 'AXE 'E Children of nineteen hundred seven returned,-'out M y 45 with this difference: we had put away childish things, and with them the small letters in our title, retaining - only the C. Of course our program was our first consideration. VVC discovered that we were to have l'ra-:tical Arithmetic every day, hut since in our first year we had learned to put two and two together, we were prepared for this, We learned tahles, squares, and Cubes, we defined 5 we illustrated objectively, we drilled , we gave prac- Page 66 NORMAL OFFERING Volume XI tical problems. An attempt to make handkerchiefs out of three-sixteenths of a yard of linen was discouraged, as was the idea that the size of a person's shoes varies directly as the size of the person. I Manual Arts came the next period. We did blackboard sketching. We made things G1 in clay. We tooled leather and worked out Problem III A Penwiperf' We made generaluconsiderations, specific considera- tions, a constructive design, a decorative design, and .a study full size. We traced it, tooled it, added three chamois leaves, a strap, a stitch, and had-a Marked Down Penwiper ready for the bargain counter. What we did not do for the sake of Art we did for Art's sake. English II gave opportunity for discussion, into which we entered to thelfull measure of our ability. Some knew more than they presented: some presented more than they knew: hence the teacher's expression, a creative memory. I In Geology we learned Structuresand Processes. The stone crusher furnished a held of exploration, and the oft reiterated question Is this gneiss? might have led a passer-by to suspect that we were fastidious. Later our respect for the weather map increased in spite of the fact that the weather was contrary to prediction for the next three weeks. For seeing things in the day time we took Botany, but sometimes we saw things under the microscope which were not there. We also realized something of the feeling of joy Columbus experienced, when we discovered a spore of a Fungus. The thought to be carried away from this course is, Never be a Parasite. I Under dear Miss I-Iicks's direction we observed all' the workings of the Model School and noted ten different best ways of teaching. Her principle, which we will apply if given the opportunity, in spite of our spelling is, Commendation not Condemnation. ' In the gymnasium our highest ambition was to go before the class and teach a day's order. These orders were made according to artistic ideals. They were diligently studied and consulted whenever possible. The girls had a Hockey Team and, with the assistance of the Physical Training teachers, had some enthusiastic inter-class games. No time was allowed for tears if one exercised poor judgment in getting in front of sticks, or procuring good marks in any other way. To add to our fame, one member of Class C is a hero. Late one Volume XI NORMAL OFFERING Page 67 afternoon, when it was almost dark and Carver's was crowded with skaters, there was a sudden cry, Some one is in ! Enough to say that by cool-headedness, supplemented by much moisture of brow Mr. L. succeeded in effecting a rescue. Universal appreciation resulted in the presentation of a medal to our classmate, and, we hear, in the publication of his picture in the Boston American. Verily, what greater glory can come to Class C ? Class Roll.

Hz'storz'an Class D History, 1908-'09, S the members ot Class D. look back upon the first year QW W' at the Normal' School, they think of many incidents which are recorded in memory's book. Gf these incidents 'Ql'2:'fr? lA. gli, there are some which we shall always remember. In pursuit of the Art of Teaching, the forty-four students which make up Class D. entered the Bridgewater Normal School in September, 1908. . Volume XI NORMAL OFFERING Page 69 The men of the class were v-ery brave-true Spartans, having a prom- inent place in the school athletics, while the young ladies were cool, calm and self-possessed, whether they were at the top of the barstalls or mak- ing a working drawing. The class as a whole was noted for the wit and humor which it displayed. In wit, whether dry or brilliant, Class D. cer- tainly excels. V W This year's work has been very enjoyable, a favorite study being psychology. In the psychology class room a memorable speech was made on the first day, when, to Mr. Boyden's question: Is a school always a company of persons? one of our members replied, No, because we sometimes speak of a school of ish. Does this not show how far ad- vanced this class is in matters of science and philosophy? On the other hand, we shall always remember the many valuable and helpful suggestions which we received in this class room from our honored Principal Emeritus, so competent for the work which he undertakes. In our English class, we had many brilliant discussions. In this class room we discovered many wonderful things. Miss H- m-r revealed the fact that she, a prospective teacher, was a true advocate of the word fuss Mr. Sm-th informed us that he gets off cars backwards, while Mr. M-or- gave us his idea of exquisiteness-namely : a fireplace, an arm chair and a pipe. How much exquisiteness most of us have missed ! On the other hand, Miss D-ck- -s-n informed us that the kindergarten was on the Hrst Hoor. I wonder if Mr. D-I-n, whose chair was always a quad- ruped, could tell us why. During this course we had many instructive little spelling lessons, and, of course, we were always very sorry and dis appointed when Miss D-ck- -s-n forgot our list of words. Early in the second term, one of our numbers became childish from overstudy, we think, as she spoke in an unknown language, and did wild, fantastic dances. - We played ball in the physics class, grew pale and red by turns in the music class, for no reason whatever, made wonderful extemporaneous speeches in the reading class, where we were advised to cultivate the art of story telling, kept pyschology note books to perfection, and labored diligently with those little signs, that wonderful phenonema favorably known to us,-as happy coincidence. Class D. was certainly up in the air over geometry. We chose Page 70 NORMAL OFFERING A Volume XI our favorite type of house, and watched breathlessly while Miss H-nt raised the roof. At this point it is necessary to state that one of our members has made Class D famous, and has hastened the development of architecture by her adoption of a new roof-namely, the Whiting roof. Mis A-n-ld has pronounced theories, one of them being that it is better to be late for the gymnastic lesson than not to get there at all. However, neither Miss VV-ll-am-on nor Mr. K-rm-y-r agree with her. The middle aisle of the Assembly Hall was intensely interesting for one of our members, while a few of the young ladies, possessed of loftier ideals, visited daily the third floor, at a time which caused a few seniors much excitement. In short, Mr. I-l-y-s is the grand adviser, Mr. Mc-in-on, the happy member, Mr. W-lb-r, the scholar, Mr. D-rl-ng, the startling etymolo- gist: Mr. D-l-n, the Haristocrat , Mr. Sm-th, the only bashful member, Mr. Mc-voy, the only wooer, Mr. Ea-ly, the leader, whose name some- what suggests his ability to be first, Miss S-v-ra-ce, the arguer, her power in that line being' shown in the algebra class, Miss L-e, the politic- ian, being a true democrat, Miss D-nl-ng-er, the talker, and Mis R-an, who always had a feeling as to who would be called on to recite, the prophetess of the class. Miss L-ce has given her attention to drawing, early showing her genius in this direction, as the first thing she did was to draw her breath, she hopes soon to satisfy- her efforts by drawing a salary. Miss Sh-ttf-ck has been styled as the romantic, idealistic, and alarmingly vivid character portrayer, who showed her talent in this line by frequently putting her thoughts in the form of a signed manuscript, the results of which we already know. Now that we have taken up the parts we will proceed to the whole. There never was a class the members of which were so strongly united by cohesion and adhesion, as Class D, we are strongly affiliated, and each has worked earnestly for the good of the class. We trust that our large number will return next year when we shall C all things as they are. Our class is represented in the various interests of the school, its energy being shown by the recital which the members gave at the close of the music course. This year has indeed been one of growth, and we have become Volume XI NORMAL OFFERING Page 71 awakened to the responsibilities in the life work which we have chosen. Let us, the members of Class D, keep that cheerfulness, that state of feeling which arises from being habitually hopeful, and which has made the year IQOS-,CQ so successful and enjoyable for Class D.

And their wisdom was like unto that of , 5 Solomon, and their glory was as the full moon, and as the grass for greenness. i 2. And they marveled among themselves, saying 1 Great and glorious are we, and there is none like unto us in all the world. And verily this was so. 3. But Seniors said unro them, wait, for lo, there shall come Musii: and Physics and Algebra, and all manner of evil, yea, even Hunk slips in due season. Then did the junirs laugh, for they were very young, and knew not whereof they spoke. Volume XI NORMAL OFFERING Page 73 4 4. Then came forth from the land of Normal, fierce lessons, seeking to devour them, but they were not afraid. 5. In Music did they make a joyful noise, especially upon the last day of the term. 6. Their knowledge waxed great and they knew all things, yea verily, things which were never known before, and their spelling was fearful to behold. 7. Twenty new ways did they add unto the spellings of Mendelssohn, nor were they vain of their great prowess. 8. In Physics and Chemistry did they toil daily, and were a marvel unto the school that they were of such good cheer. For they laughed and wept not, yea, even the teacher made jokes. 9. With long hours did Manual Arts seek to destroy them, and there was a sound of lamentation by night, yet they fainted not. IO. In Psychology were they very wise, to astonish all, even them- selves. Il. Many months did the juniors toil, and their fame grew great among the nations, and among the small boys who beheld them play hockey. 12. Their dignity became heavy upon them as they sat in Model School. I3.' And in the next September shall come other juniors, and these first will say, Lo, they are young and very green.

HE success with which the work of the Union has met ai ' this year proves the value of such an organization in liQ 5 the school. The Sunday evening services are instructive LEU? and inspiring. The speakers consist of ministers, mem- ' gl' bers of the faculty, and even the students. To this may be added the peasure that is derived from the special selections arranged by the Music Committee. Also, the Religious and Social Committee all do their part in making the work successful. The Mission Study,Class,org.1nizej last year, with a membership of eight students, has shown marked progress in its present membership of twenty-tive. The work this year hasibeen along three distinct lines, I, The study of foreign missions, with the text-book, '.' The Uplift of China, 2, The lending of aid to any cases of need in the town or vicinity, 3, The increasing and establishing of true Christian fellowship in the school. The officers are : President, Ida E. Teague, vice-president, Susan E. Abbott, secretary, Margaret A. Goodwin, treasurer, Marie Knobleg librarian, Elizabeth M. Anthony. A The work of the New Student committee should not be underesti- mated, for it was an important element in the life of the new-comers last fall, until they became accustomed to the new conditions which they met here. , ------ --2-7 -- 4 ?

Chorus of Singing Faires, Misses Abbott, Teague, Dunphe, Homer, Tilton, Walters, Bragg, Ordway. Attendants on Theseus and Hippolyta, Misses Symmes, McGrath, Stirnpson, Hall, Bartlett, Lane. The play was accompanied by a large portion of the score of Mendels- sohn's Midsummer Night's Dream, rendered on the piano by Miss Prince and Miss Ethel Boyden. Early in November all the young ladies of the two classes began re- hearsing parts in the play, under the direction of Miss Brown. Later, several selected scenes were given before a group ofjudges, and those players who seemed best adapted for the various parts were chosen to make up the final cast. A f The performance was enthusiastically received by over sixhundred pupils and friends of the school. It was distinctly a Senior and B. class evening, and everyone agreed that the ladies had made it pleasant and successful. Much of the credit for the effective presentation of the play should be given to Mr. Arnold C. Heath, who, throughout the weeks of preparation, had been untiring in his work as coach, and who, when the play was finally presented, made a brilliantly successful stage manager. Volume XI NORMAL OFFERING Page 89 Girls' Athletics. new burst of enthusiasm mamfested itself this year among S 4 the upper Gymnasium classes. As soon as the school ' jbfji an Y , i I' , A routine was entered upon in September, hockey squads were seen starting from the Gymnasium down across i the Campus Great progress was shown in the art of playing until the final game was played with little bunching, and the ball went down the held with a straight line of forwards. , Too much cannot be said in favor of playing hockey in grammar school, normal school, or college. Nothing is more invigorating or con- ducive to good health than a brisk game of hockey, where Mother Nature makes a soft carpet under the feet, and the pure air is filling the lungs of the girls who have spent the entire day in a close school room. Not only is hockey conducive to good health, but all future teachers should play the game in order to know how to give it to children at its best value. I Page 90 NORMAL OFFERING ' Volume XI Enthusiasm and Work were not limited to hockey, for, when the Weather no longer permitted that game, the classes began basketball. Less Work has been done in this direction than with hockey, as the hygienic conditions are less inviting. However, if the game is properly played much benefit can be derived from basketball. By all means, for girls, girls' rules should be followed, as girls and young women have not the strength to expend which is called for by men's rules. As to number, nine or eveneleven may play. Such a number not only gives each player an opportunity, but also prevents utter exhaustion on part of any one player. Both hockey and basketball may be introduced to eighth grade girls under the above conditions. Qur greatest hopes and anticipations are fastened upon the coming year, when we can accomplish even more in athletics, and Bridgewater may be co-educational along all lines. The Senior and BC gymnasium classes extend cordial thanks to Miss Gordon and Miss Osterhoudt for their ever prompt and kind assistance.

' When the squad appeared on South Field, however, several well known faces were missing and a sigh rose for the men who had left -us. But Captain Frahar smiled his never failing smile and started his work by teaching the candidates for the team how to fall on the ball. So at last, after hard work, a team was developed which, laboring as it did under many difficulties, was a credit to the Captain, to the School, and to every man who played. t Summary of Games. September 13. Normal 0 3 Quincy 5. The team was undeveloped and many of the men were inexperienced. Quincy scored in the first half, and during the rest of the game neither team was able to cross the line. 5 September 26. Normal 12 g Plymouth 0. The team at last found itself, and played a good game. The game was easily won, Normal never being forced to play her limit. U October 7. Normal 12 g Brockton 10. The best game of the year. Pickett scored on a cleverly recovered fumble soon after the game started, but the line could not stop the fine rushes of the Brockton backs and the half ended with a score of IO to 6 in Brockton's favor. Normal came back determined to do or die. ' One spot in the opposing line was selected, and play after play sent crashing through. At last Early was carried over the line for the winning touch- down.

Normal 0 3 Fall River H. S. 0. The ball see-sawed upland down the field, but neither team was able to get it behind the goal line. The feature of the game was Normal's desperate rally, which resulted in holding Fall River for downs on the two yard line. October 17. Normal 63 Roxbury H. S. 0. ' The Roxbury team was by far the cleverest seen at Bridgewater this season. However, they were not clever enough to stop Pickett, who scored the touchdown and kicked the goal. October 24. Normal 63 M. I. T., '12, 23. Normal had no chance against the heavy Tech team. Pickett did all of Norm:1l's scoring, Wheeler fractured his collar bone, but McKinnon filled the position of quarterback cleverly. October 31. Normal 6 3 Taunton H. S. 6. Normal was much handicapped by the absence of Pickett. Taunton scored early and seemed sure of the game 3 but the clever blocking of a kick by McEvoy enabled Early to recover the ball and carry it over. McEvoy kicked the goal.

The prospect was not - as promising as some years in the past, for two of last year's veterans graduated in june. With his usual good judgment, Cap- tain Wheeler chose, from the large number of candidates, two men who Volume XI NORMAL OFFERING Page 97 had proved their ability to play basketball on last year's second team, to fill the open positions. Captain Wheeler proved himself to be a natural leader, always having the welfare of his team uppermost in his mind. He maintained his old record for throwing baskets, many times winning well-deserved applause by a long shot from a difficult angle. Ames played a strong, steady game, and when a basket was needed, he could be depended upon to get it. Pickett still continued to hold his record for throwing baskets, and, although playing back, he outpointed his opponents. It will be hard to End a man to hll his position. I Prario has proved a valuable man to the team. He covered well, and was an important factor in breaking up the opponents' pass work. Lincoln, at center, demonstrated the fact that he was a valuable player. 1 One feature of the season was the alumni game. This was the first. time that the school team has played the alumni in basketball. It was a hard-fought battle, but the regulars proved too fast for the alumni. The team and its followers had strong hopes that this year we could defeat Brockton. The first half ended in our favor, but in the second half Brockton's extra weight began to tell, and, although our team played its hardest, we were defeated. The second team, while not as successful as in other years, played a good game. Nearly all were new men, and on this account it took time to develop the team-work. Many of the games were close and exciting. The team has certainly fulfilled its object--namely, that of developing a faster First team, and developing men for next year's team. The attendance at the games has been large, the Harvard Independ- ents and Brockton Y. M. C. A. bringing out the largest crowds. Both the students and the general public showed a great interest in the game. Both the players and audience are indebted to Mr. William Nlnore for his faithful and courteous service throughout the season. page Qs NCJRMAL 0FFQf-:RING Volume XI Summary of Seasons 1908 and 1909.

'! ?!Wv EFORE Normal had played her last game of basketball in the gymnasium, Captain Ames had called out the baseball candidates for practice on the South Field. The sri K fellows responded heartily to this call, for volunteers, some sixteen or eighteen coming out the first afternoon. During the first and second weeks we were able to have games between two teams made up from the fellows, thus keeping up interest in the work, and giving the rest of us a chance to judge of the ability of the players. The wise ones said, that we would sorely miss our pitcher and shortstop, who graduated, but we have been able to find other men who, although not veterans, are doing themselves and the team credit. So the game is going along as it has always done, inspite of all predictions to the con- Volume XI NORMAL OFFERING Page 101 trary, and we have arranged as long and as hard a schedule as we have had in the past. On April Io, we played our first game, and succeeded in getting beaten by Whitman High School in a ten inning game. This was due to the many errors, and to the inability of the fellows to hit the ball at the right time. However, we hope to meet Whitman again, and then we shall try to forget our first defeat. Cn the following Tuesday, we showed that we could play ball by defeating Abington High School in an interesting game. But by far the most interesting, and also the closest of our early games, was the contest with Bradford Durfee Textile School of Fall River. This is probably one of the fastest teams we shall meet this season 5 so, although we were defeated, we feel confident that we have a team which will come up to the high standard previously established by Normal on the diamond.

They say that nature is beautiful in the spring time, and that it is Charming to see the roses unfold 5 to behold the trees adorned with green leaves, to see the verdant Helds covered with Howers, like gems adorning an emerald garment 5 and to watch the many-hued butterflies Hying in the air, or resting on the bosoms of their brothers, the flowers 3 but that I do not see these things .is not what grieves me most. They say that the sea is wonderful, that in the Straights of Bospho- rus she refiects in her crystaline waves the palaces and gardens on her shores, that in the Broad Marmora, she is limitless in extent, stretching afar to embrace the sky, that in the daylight she sparkles resplendently like molten gold under the rays of the sun, and that at night the beams of the stars and the moon slumber in her gentle bosom g that in her calmness she is like a smooth mirror, but that when disturbed by the tempest she roars violently, and her mountainous billows foam like ferocious long- maned steeds, and groaning, dash themselves upon the rocks, but that I do not see these things is not what grieves me most. They say that to behold the sky is delightful g that it exalts man, and rouses his mind to sublime thoughts, that when the day is pleasant, the sun moves with luminous radiance, like an august monarch in his king- dom, that when the sun sets, the stars appear like heavenly flowers, or hang as if each were a celestial lamp, or as if they were Abigails of the moon, waiting to pay due homage to the Queen of the Night, who, rising from the East, comes with majestic bearing to make her .nightly visit to the ethereal field above us, that she has a thin gauze of clouds spread Page 104 NORMAL OFFERING Volume XI over her head, and sheds a gentle radiance from her eyes, but that l do not see these things is not what grieves me most. That which grieves me most, and makes me feel the depth of my misfortune, is not that I cannot behold the morn, the spring, the sea or the heavens, but it is, alas! that l cannot see my sweet mother's face. A Summer Day. WITH ruddy glow and golden beams of light, Forth comes the sun, the master of the day, And nature thankful is, that now she may Sing praises- for the banishment of night. 'Tis almost noon: the copper sun, whose rays i ' K Stream on the blistering fields' and scorch- 'ing grain, Demands a mighty hushg naught can refrain From yielding to his great and awful gaze. The mighty sun the zenith now has past, A cooling breeze, that sings a low sweet song 'Midst rustling leaves and earthward bend- ing corn, Whispers of comfort, and of rest at last. 'Tis evening : insects whirl their home- ward way, The air is calm and free, and one by one, The stars peep forth to greet the night begun, And say: Farewell !- thou glorious sum- mer day ! Ruth C.

HEN life's last letters are written, and mundane voices are mute, E When Bridgewater's budding genius has blossomed and borne its fruit, The editors-peacefully sleeping, shall rest for millions of years, Till Gabriel sounds his trumpet and our M OFFERING re-appears. And those who were dull shall be brilliant, and sit in the editor's den 5 They shall write an golden tablets, with a quenchless fountain pen. They shall find true popular heroes, human and helpful and broad g And our advertising patrons shall be reaping their rich reward. And only conscience control us, and only conscience shall chide, And only reason shall rule us, and only the truth shall abide. 4 But each for the joy of his working-the honor of Bridgewater town, Shall write forever unfettered, and fearing no Faculties' frown. . 1 T .
