MAJESTIC, high in the heavens, The moon is riding tonight, And a pathway over the water Is spread of silvery light, The waves, untiring, restless, Break on the rugged shore, Speak in an unknown language Of things unsolved before. Ocean voices never ceasing, What is the message you bring? Be it joy, or be it sorrow, Teach me the songyou sing. You come from the heart of the ocean, From the depths of its very soul, Is it in vain man may listen For the secrets you unroll? Then the moonbeams softly falling, Mingled with the Whispering wave, Breathed of love and hope and patience, Bade my heart be true and brave. I M. L.

NORMAL OFFERING 21 Zliarultg ilhfrvpiinn. This castle hath a pleasant seat, the air Nimbly and sweetly recommends itself Unto our gentle senses. F URELY the air of our June Commencement Days affects us sweetly, especially as weogo to our Principal's castle for our own Faculty Reception, the first of the sad sweet meetings of our last weeks of school days together. On that evening we gather to meet our instructors for a few social hours before we leave them. Swiftly the time passes, leaving with us a blur, which, as we recall it, slowly becomes a series of little memories of our teachers, our friends, and our classmates, with the words of greeting and farewell on their lips. Music, chatter, and laughter prevail until we go from our recep- to gather around the quadrangle for our songs and our Alma Mater. Then it is overg we are soon to go out from our school home: we are to part: and we are to choose. Who hath not, With life's new quiver full of winged years, Shot at a venture, and then, following on, Stood doubtful at the Parting of the Ways. M. B. H., '12, Qlnmmvnrrmvnt Eramatirn. N Friday evening, June 14, the Commencement Play was given by the members of the Bridgewater Normal Dramatic Club, under the personal direction of Miss Moffitt.

Colberg, violin, and Mr. Wilbur, flute. Earralaurratr Svvrmnn. N June 16, 1912, at the Congregational Church, the Baccalaureate Sermon was preached by the Rev. Walter Byron Williams.
