'R 'P 4, M Greeting. f EAR after year has passed and life at Bridgewater has stead- ily gone onward and outward. 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. This is the purpose of this year's Normal Offering. Changes in its content have be-en made, yet they are but the reflection of changes in the school. The Editorial Board of the Normal Offering of 1920 extend their greeting and present this, the twenty-second annual publica- tion of the book, trusting that it will prove of interest to teachers, students, alumni, and friends. HEN it comes to putting in cold, merciless type, the part played by our mothers and fathers in our lives, We find it an utter impossibility to sum up in terms of actual values of life, the influences exerted by our mothers and fathers. Perhaps Lincoln's Words All that I am, or ever hope to be, I owe to my mother, Would apply with equal force to our mothers and fathers. Looking backward through history, We find that many of our truly great men and Women owed their successes in life, primarily, to their parents. In like manner, We owe everything to our parents. To many of them the expense of keeping us With the comforts and luxuries of life, means the acceptance of a burden, far fromlight, but cheerily accepted, because of their faith in us. It is this spirit of self-sacrifice, devotion, faith and love that characterizes the mother and father the World over. We have a large contract ahead of us When We set out to justify their faith in us, but justify it We must, regardless of the cost to us. Are you Willing to even consider what the results of failure would mean to those, to Whom you owe everything? Because We realize, although We are incapable of expressing our great debt to our parents, we are very happy in dedicating our 1920 Normal Offer- ing to our Mothers and Fathers. 3111 rrrngniiinn nf 1112 lnnv, uarritire, amh heuniinn uf 1111152 at hunts, mhn have enahlvh nz in rarrg nut nur ihraln, we affniinnaielg hehirate nur Brat-Bunk in QDIII' illlnihrru :min Iiatherz 8 NORMAL OFFERING Nnrmal 0B1'frring Tiinarh.

GAIN, it is June, and all Normal is eagerly awaiting the day when the 1920 Normal Offeringnwill beready fordistribution. As editors of this volume of the Normal Offering, we have en- deavored faithfully to keep this yearis issue up to the standards of other years, and yet to improve it. This has been no easy thing to do, for the standard set for us in past years has been a high one and one difficult to improve. However, we have at least tried, and in this, the twenty-second volume of the Normal Offering we offer you our best efforts. It is always the aim of the editors, year after year, to build a more worthy and lasting monument in the form of the Normal Offering, and this year we hope we have not fallen short in our attempts. This year has been an exceptionally hard one for the board of editors, for any number of reasons, evident to all, and yet we venture to say that there has never beena better spirit of co- operation existing between the Editor-in-Chief and the members of her staff. .The Editor-in-Chief wishes to take this opportunity to thank the following people who have been of such great help to her, that she feels that these few words fall very far short of ade- quately expressing her thanks. To the Assistant Editor Miss MacPherson, and the Art Edi- tors, Miss White and Miss MacCarthy: In the history of the Normal Offering we have not had a more capable and efficient Assistant Editor than it has been our privilege to work with this year. As for the Art Editors, we feel that, to a great extent, the success of this volume is due to your untiring efforts and skillful accomplishments. To the Associate Editors: We can only say that if in years to come the Editors-in-Chief have as willing and capable a board of Associate Editors, then indeed will they be fortunate. To Miss Moses, Miss Pierce, and Mr. Jackson: We extend our hearty thanks to the members of the English 10 NORMAL OFFERING Department, who have aided us so materially in the organization of our material. And lastly, our sincere gratitude, to any and all who have contributed either directly or indirectly to the success of this book. This year the Board decided to offer ten dollars in gold for prizes, in order to give an added incentive to contributors. The first prize, a five dollar gold piece, was won by Elizabeth Sum- ner '20, the winning story being entitled Bobbie Wins Out. Mary Nottingham '20 won the second prize, a two and a half dollar gold piece, with her Class History, written in verse. The Ballad of the Pin, a poem by Ruth Sladen '21, won the third prize, a two and a half dollar gold piece. Our congratulations to the winnersl We trust that, in future years, when looking over these pages, you may derive pleasure, enjoyment, happiness, and a keen reali- zation of the fact that some of your most prontable years were spent at Bridgewater Normal School. THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF. sERv1oE. O, Seniors wise and learned, O, Juniors strong and true, O, all you Normal Students A duty waits for you! Soon you must face life's battle, Soon hear the trumpet call Which shall lead you forth to service To conquer, not to fall. And through your term of service, May your motto ever be, To minister unto others, For this is the master-key. ' MILDRED WEBB '2l. A . 4 E ,qt I - W.

We welcome her heartily and will work with her to the success of her new work. Miss Pope taught formerly in Quincy and in the Training School of B. N. S. Miss Elizabeth Gillies of Wakefield, R. I., came here for the first part of this year as substitute for Miss Pritchard, former librarian. Miss Gillies graduated from Simmons College in 1918 and held the position of librarian in the R. I. State H Normal in 1919. She left us in March and is now in the library at Boston Univer- sity. Miss Gillies was well liked by all and all expressed regret at her leaving and the hope of success: for her in her new work. Miss Edith Bradford came this year as a French Instructor. Miss Bradford graduated from the University of Vermont in 1915 and has formerly been teaching in High schools. We were very happy to welcome Miss Damon as our new librarian. Miss Damon came here from New York State, where she had been doing similar work. Glhangvz in 1313111121 Zliarulig. This year saw many changes in the Model School Faculty. Mr. Brenelle Hunt became one of the Normal School Faculty. His place was taken by Miss Martha Burnell, who had been an eighth grade teacher in the Model School for many years. Miss Burnell has always been held in the esteem of both the townspeople and the Normal School and we are all glad to see her assume this new position. 15 NORMAL OFFERING The institution of the Junior High School in Bridgewater has brought about many changes. It necessitated increasing the Model School Faculty. We have two new third grade teachers, Miss Charlotte Thompson and Mrs. Isabel Riddell. Miss Thompson graduated from Fitchburg Normal School and has taken a summer course at Columbia. Before coming to Bridgewater she taught in Nor- wood. Mrs. Riddell came to us from Quincy and is one of our own graduates. She has also taken a course at Columbia. Miss Harriett Gannett is our new fourth grade teacher. She is a graduate of Boston University with the degree of B. A., a grad- uate of New Britain State Normal School, and has studied at Emerson College of Oratory. Miss Gannett last taught in New Britain, Connecticut. Miss Louise Borchers, the new fifth grade teacher, is a grad- uate of Fitchburg Normal School and has taken courses at Colum- bia and Boston University. Miss Borchers has been teaching in Norwood. g FRIENDSHIPS. Friendship is a golden word, Rich in truth and love, In it-much of loveliness Each blessed by power above.

' RIDAY, the thirteenth, an unlucky day you say? Not in the ig annals of the class of June 1919, Bridgewater Normal School! There never dawned a more perfect day than Friday, June thir- teenth, 1919. And the night was even more wonderful-a perfect June night-ideally fitted for a Prom night. Who could ask for anything better than to have old Mister Moon shining in all his glory, and silently looking down and enjoying all the festivities that mark a prom at Bridgewater, as the distinctive social feature of the year. As usual, prom was held in the Albert Gardner Boyden gymnasium, which was very prettily decorated with green oak boughs, banners, and potted plants. In the receiving line were Mr. and Mrs. Boyden and the presidents of the three graduating classes. - The various proms were led by the class officers, each one taking a different form. At midnight as the last note died away, the class of June 1919 was heard to declare that never before had there been such a prom, and never, in the future, would there be a better one. K. E. C.

A most inspiring address on the Evolution of Better Things was given by our principal, Arthur Clarke Boyden. As a speaker Mr. Boyden has an individual charm that grips his audi- ence and keeps it intent on each thought he develops. Several pleasing selections were rendered by the Glee Club. The class of 1919 will long remember this afternoon as one of their red-letter ones. K. E. C. '20. iliarnlig iKPrPpIinn. ' ACULTY Reception, one of the big events of Commencement ig VVeek, was held Vllednesday evening, June twenty-fiifth, nineteen hundred and nineteen, in the Gymnasium from eight until eleven o'clock. In the receiving line vvere all the members of the faculty. The grand march was led by Mr. Boyden with Miss Ferguson, and Mrs. Boyden with Mr. Casey. After a short period of dancing, Mr. Hunt presented a new invention of his, a mechanical device, Which, when cranked, brought to life the be- loved nursery characters found in Mother Goose. Miss Moffat as Mother Goose, Mr. Bixby as 'fLittle Boy Blue,', and Mr. Sinnott as Little Jack Horner, were the hits of the evening. Merriment reigned supreme as each character was introduced to the audience. After the entertainment, refresh- ments were served in the balcony and the evening came to a close with a. grand march led by Miss Pinnick and Mr. Casey. Then the Seniors gathered for the last time as a class in the quadrangle, and sang their school songs, ending with Alma Mater. Ten minutes after the Seniors were in the dormitory the Juniors serenaded them, as is customary after Faculty Reception. And so ended the last real day as undergraduates, for on the next day they became graduates of Normal and members of the Alumni of Normal. K. E. C. '20, NORMAL OFFERING 19 Cgrahuatinn. T last, the never to be forgotten day had arrived. Thursday, June twenty-sixth, graduation day, dawned bright and clear. From the time the rising bell rang in the morning, there was a hushed note of excitement in the air. Visitors began to arrive early and soon the streets outside Normal were crowded with machines from all over the state. At ten o'clock, the members of the graduating classes were all in their places in Chapel. Prayer was offered by Mr. Boyden and the response sung by the Glee Club. Mr. Boyden then introduced Dr. Payson Smith, Commissioner of Education for Massachusetts, who gave the graduates a pur- poseful, interesting address, on the duties awaiting them as they went forth to prepare their places in the educational world. After a pleasing selection by the Glee Club, Dr. Smith presented the diplomas, and the class of 1919 passed on to become alumni of Bridgewater. K. E. C. '20. Uhr Fling frmarrh. OMPARATIVELY few of those who gaze each year at the Ivy March, as it is given here at Normal, realize that it is some- thing more than just an Ivy March, ending with the commonplace planting of a bit of ivy. Commonplace? Ah, no! Symbolic of love and devotion, expressive of human life? Yes! At the appointed time, members of the Junior Class, green oak boughs in hand, may be seen forming on either side of the walk that leads to the school. Boughs raised high, they typify the living strength of the school. Clear, piercing, distinct, come the notes of the bugle, sounding the call to life with its manifold duties, and as the echoes die away, the members of the graduat- ing classes, marching two by two, pass on to the Campus, the field of life. As the Campus is reached, the double line changes to one of single file, illustrating the manner in which the individual life becomes of more pronounced importance, for the greater prob- lems of life are solved by the individual alone, with the assistance only of a Divine Aid. 20 NORMAL OFFERING The graduates, ivy garlands in hand, encircle Campus Pond, Which symbolizes, in the images of themselves which they see reflected in its Waters, the truth that all We do is reflected in life's mirrors to our credit or dishonor. Next they stand near the spot Where the ivy is to be planted, and hear just a few Words from their president before they part for class day exercises. And' to the listeners, comes the thought that, after all, life is but a class- room, golden vvith opportunities. The classroom of life With all it contains, is theirs to use to the utmost, to develop, to improve, and to brighten with cheerful, devoted service. Then, the ivy is planted, a symbol of love and affection for Alma Mater, and the graduates go on to meet life, still a question to some, but one demanding ever the best they are capable of giving. So in the Words of Corinne Roosevelt Robinson in her poem Life, a Ques- tion, the graduates of Normal may Well say :- Life? and Worth living? Yes, with each part of us- Hurt of us, help of us, hope of us, heart of us, Life is Worth living. Ah! with the Whole of us, Will of us, brain of us, senses and soul of us! Is life Worth living? Aye, With the best of us, Heights of us, depths of us,- Life is the test of us. K. E. C. '20, oi Wo .llw 1 I , f, T -.-i,.,1 - is A Q , 1' f! ' 3 - X S 16,471 , 1 ,ef ' . -:,, 5:13, .

It has an Indiana postmarkf' The letter enclosed proved to be very short and to the point. Dear Madam: I We regret to inform you of the death of your kinswoman, Mrs. Mary Harris. She leaves in your charge her only son, Robert. He leaves here tomorrow and will reach New York next Friday. Yours, etc. It was signed by the inevitable lawyer. Well, Jim, said Marion to her husband a little later, Bobbie is on his way East to us. He is just the age, Jim, Junior would have been if he had lived. Of course I mean to do well for the child but I couldn't bear to have him live here. It would recall our loss too keenlyf' ' I can see how you feel, returned Mr. Harding, but what is to become of the boy? I have a plan, said his wife. You remember Fannie Greene, who went to Normal School when I did? She married a poor far- mer. .I'm sure she'll be glad of the chance to earn some moneyg a farmer's wife always is. We'll board Bobbie at her farm! So it was that the little orphan's journey ended at the peace- ful farm in VVillow Valley. He was a sunny little fellow of seven summers and' made many friends among f-armer folk. There was one cloud in his childish sky. Why don't I ever see my Aunt Marion? Why don't I live with her? Mother said she was a perfectly beautiful lady. She is a perfectly beautiful lady, replied kind Mrs. Greene. Some day she'll come down here to see you. Will she come soon? I hope she'll bring me some candy, continued the lad, lifting anxious blue eyes. One day Aunt Marion really did come and she found the little lad eagerly Waiting for her at the end of the lane. Are you my 24 NORMAL OFFERING Aunt Marion?', he asked, reaching for her hand. You are a per- fectly beautiful lady, just as Mother said. Later that afternoon, Mrs. Harding sat with Bobbie perched on her knee. She had not intended to fondle the child, but there he was. An' you'll come again, lots of times he asked seriously. Mrs. Harding did go again, lots of times. She didn't realize it, but inch by inch lttle Bobbie was gaining her affection. II It was in the middle of a windy March night that Mrs. Harding was called to the telephone. wifes ...... Greeene's farmhouse is burning? and Bobbie Harris isn't out? Yes, I'll be as soon as I can. Good-bye. . She didn't feel as calm as her voice sounded. By the time she reached the sce-ne of the fire her heart was beating wildly, for she knew in those few minutes how much she cared for the boy. Near the burning house she found a group of farmers who had dressed hastily and rushed to help their neighbors. Mrs. Hard- ing sought her friend in this group.

But the little one! I shall never forgive my- self. Poor Fannie went on in this strain for some minutes. The barn is catching! cried one of the fire fighters, and some of the men charged for the barn to get the cattle and horses out.

Elirigv Harm. There were three brothers, you must know, Who all ambition did possess, And they agreed that each should go To find the way to Happiness. The first three hours should be gone Before the second should depart. The third should give the second one Three hours more to get a start. The eldest had the precedence To his garage he took his way. He cranked his Ford with confidence That he would have success that- day. A half a mile he journeyed hence When to a forking road he came, And there he saw upon a fence, In letters large and bold the name, To Happiness, nor read he more But turned to right as e'er he'd been, Nor knew that 'he'd have saved a score Of miles had he the other ta'en. But finally he reached the town, And by a side street entered there, And on a side street settled down. Good luck and bad have found him ne'er. Meanwhile the second brother thin While walking through the garden greene Before him he beheld a pin His elder brother had not seen. He saw a pin and let it lay, Too lazy he to move it was. Bad luck will follow him all day, Or so declares the well-known clause. NORMAL OFFERING He cranked his Dodge and took his seat And went the way his brother had Until he reached the parting street: What there he saw did make him glad. To Happiness 'tis fifty miles If by the right-hand road you wind. If by the left in thirty miles You shall your destination find. 1 So to the left this brother turned At fifty miles an hour did ride Until a notice overturned And lying in the street he spied. Too lazy for to stop and read What warning this might have to give He sped around and on. This deed Decreed the hours he had to live. For six yards on, around a bend, The roadway had been washed away And left a narrow path to wend. That Dodge fell thirty yards that day The third and youngest brother gay, Determined to attain success, Had now set out to make assay To find the way to Happiness. He saw the pin his brothers passed, And so he stooped and picked it up Not thinking of the old forecast That all the day he'd have good luck. Then up the hill and down the dale He did his chummy roadster guideg He followed in his brother's trail 'Till suddenly the sign he spied. To Happiness 'tis fifty miles If by the right-hand road you wind. If by the left, in thirty miles You shall your destination find. So to the left this brother turned, At thirty miles an hour did ride Until the notice overturned And lying in the street he spied. NORMAL OFFERING 27 He stopped and jumped into the road, Upraised the board erect once more. And read the danger it forbade. He went the washout to explore When lo! he saw a maid in tears. She did not know the way around. The brother soon allayed her fears And said he'd carry her to town. He took her in his roadster then And soon to Happiness they came. Their wedding bells have rung since then, And life is as the city's name. The second brother failed, we see Because although his eyes were keen To see the pin and sign, yet he D Too lazy was to act, we've seen. The eldest brother's eyes were dull, His opportunity it cost. What folly 'tis to scorn the rule Which states the truth with no words lost! RUTH E. SLADEN. A Svvrinun mistake. As Mary Gilmore descended the stairs of the boarding school to meet her friends who were going to the Annual School Ball, she met the Dean with whom she was very friendly. They discussed the ball for a few minutes and then Mary' re- moved her coat to show the dean her new evening dress. As she did so, a shining silver object dropped from her pocket to the stairs. The dean picked it up, looked at it, saw the initials, M. G., and passed it to Mary with the severe remark: Yours, I believe. Mary took it-a cigarette case. She could not have dropped it, but where had it come from, and with her initials, too? Smoking was forbidden in the school, and to have the dean iind her with a cigarette case led Mary to spend a very unpleasant 28 NORMAL OFFERING evening in spite of the zealous efforts of her friends to cheer her up. At eleven o'clock Mary said she had a headache and went home. The other girls, returning from the party, came to her room to ask how she felt and found her crying. She could not explain her deep trouble so they consoled her as best they could before leaving her for the night. The following morning, after a sleepless night, Mary was sum- moned to the dean's office and asked to explain how she had hap- pened to have a cigarette case in her possession. She could only say that she did not know where it came from and that it was not hers. Yet there were Mary's initials, so what .could the dean think? She reprimanded Mary severely and then sent her to her room to think the matter over. Mary had scarcely returned to her room when her friend, Jean Kirkpatrick, entered and asked: Have you found anything in the pocket of your coat which I wore the evening I went to the party with Milton Gregory? Mary replied that she had not. Then Jean told her that on the evening when she went to the party with Milton, he dropped his cigarette case. One of the girls picked it up and gave it to her to return to him as he was not in the room at the time when it was found. She had placed the .cigarette case in the pocket of Mary's coat and had forgotten to give it to him, and now she had lost it. But Mary did not allow her to say more, she sprang up to her dresser, opened a box, took from it a cigarette case, and asked if that were it. Jean recognized it, took it, and danced joyously out of the room to return it to Milton, while Mary, very much relieved, went to explain to her dean. ' E. O.

We must wear our invisible cloaks because visitors on a study hour night are an unheard-of thing. We shall have to wait at the door until some tardy Normalite comes and with a penitent air rings an appealing note on the bell, pleading for admittance. We silently slip in behind her and draw a long breath, for we are really inside. A hush greets us. Is it possible that one hundred and eighty girls can keep so quiet? We stand in awe for a minute won- dering whether to break the sanctity of the halls, when a girl comes down the corridor with a note book Cplease ,remember she carries a notebookj and disappears into one of the rooms. Soon gay voices and laughter-hushed laughter to be sure-came from that room. Isn't it wonderful that girls of these strenuous times enjoy their lessons so? We give you credit, teachers, for making that note-book so enjoyable and capable of producing mirth. Soon more girls with more notebooks-always with notebooks-come into view only to disappear behind closed doors. These are not social calls, I must explain to you, but are for the purpose of furthering our extensive knowledge. Sniff! Snii! Mingled odors of toast, fudge, and cocoa float tantalizingly thru the building. Are the girls having parties in Studyihourif Never! But you know how much easier it is to study and nibble than to study and long to nibble. Darkness! Where is the light! Oh! That was just the first blink. It is ten o'clock and study hour is over. Doors open as if by clockwork, girls in attractive kimonas appear, confidences are whispered in dark corners, tooth brush drills are held, last good- nights are said. Darkness again! Quiet reigns.

Perhaps you know of so many effects both good and bad, by which the War has been followed, that you wonder what addition I have to make. It may surprise you but instead of telling any- thing about countries, peoples or Red Cross nurses, my story concerns particularly just one tperson and that person a New Eng- lander, to be more exact a New England maiden. Of course you may know many of them who were concerned with war work and the like. But Pm very sure you know none who at all resemble my protege. She was called Priscilla Jane Worth. In appearance she was exactly the opposite of what you might expect, being small with brown hair and eyes and on the whole, she was very meek looking. If you required it she would admit that when the war started she was twenty-seven years old, etc. You may never have heard of the place where she had al- ways lived, since it was an insignificant little village called White Valley. Few people lived here and nearly all were descended from a line of strict Puritan ancestors, as was Priscilla. The home that Priscilla occupied was on the outskirts of the village and was presided over by Aunt Eliza. She had been in power ever since the death of Priscilla's parents and still regarded her niece as a child. When the War began, Aunt Eliza had been incensed to have such murdering going on and would have nothing to do or say con- cerning it. Ofcourse Priscilla did likewise and when the soldiers and sailors of the United States went to do their part it had little or no effects on this one home. One couldn't wholly blame them, though, since they lived so far from any actual contact with those concerned. So life went on in its usual monotonous way for Priscilla, that is until one day when a package arrived for her. You can't im- agine the excitement it caused as you have never lived in such a place but you will realize something of it, when I say that Aunt Eliza, herself, was hardly able to manage the situation. The mysterious package turned out to be a dress, a dear little silk dress 32 NORMAL OFFERING of blue with bits of pink for trimming. Priscilla and Aunt Eliza gazed with astonishment and suddenly the former cried, in accents much too loud for a well brought up young lady, Oh, I do hope it fits. Priscilla!'l called her aunt in shocked tones, coming to her senses again. You surely don't intend to wear it. Why your father has only been in his grave tive years and your mother but little more. Have you no respect for them? So it happened the wonderful dress was returned to the box, where a note had been found explaining its arrival from a distant cousin. It was then put away, but every day its owner stole a look at the treasure and terrible to tell, each time a wish began to grow to wear it. Poor Priscilla was certainly straying toward the wrong path. The days went by and about a month afterward Aunt Eliza decided to go to town. Of course her niece helped her get ready and dutifully received many instructions as to what was to be done during the day. You would expect Priscilla to follow this program but, al- though it seems almost incredible, Aunt Eliza had scarcely dis- appeared when her irreproachable niece crept stealthily up the stairs. Now you understand what was to happen and in a few moments the awful deed was accomplished. The dress fitted per- fectly and now, another thought came, perhaps it would be all right if she curled her brown hair a little in the front. Surely she would look more suited to the youthful dress. So, after a few false starts, little wrinklets began to appear, looking surprising natural. Soon all was linished and Priscilla made a picture both young and pleasing, although all her Puritan principles seemed to have fled. A sort of fear came over her, however, when she thought of Aunt Eliza and in the midst of repentant thoughts she started, for she seemed to hear the door bell. A few seconds later left no room for doubt, as a second peal resounded through the house. It is said that the wicked all get punished sooner or later and for poor Priscilla it was certainly coming sooner than expected. She was so nervous she could hardly stand and her cheeks grew red as fire, as she thought of her humiliation if it were anyone she knew. Heroically pulling herself together, she finally tiptoed to the window and looked. She could see no one and was obliged to go to the door. Tremblingly she opened it and looked up. NORMAL OFFERING 33 Oh, good morning, said the eager voice of,-who do you suppose?--one of our boys in khaki. Relief came to Priscilla and she smiled, really smiled at the male character. Good morning. You are Grace Long, aren't you? Uh, no, the Longs live down the road, quite a long way. Why, I thought you were my cousin. This is the first time I've been this way and I just got a short furlough to come and see my relations. Then he smiled, tipped his hat and went away. From the window behind the curtain Priscilla watched him, for she was young and had met few young men yet. She thought he was very nice and it's safe to say he thought the same of her, for he had never seen her as the Puritan maiden. And from then on the war began to affect Priscilla. Although all signs of the day's secret were carefully kept from Aunt Eliza's prying eyes, that observant lady noticed a new air about her niece. And, too, she wondered a few days later, that the young lady went to visit the Longs. For you, who know the secret, the rest follows naturally. Priscilla took to knitting soldiers' garments and incidentally to helping Grace read her soldier cousin's letters. Aunt Eliza, not to be outdone, began to see if she, too, could regain the lost artl Indeed the army engaged at home in supporting the boys was greatly helped by these rather late recruits. As for Priscilla herself, this work as well as benefiting the soldiers, began to do wonders in changing her. She had found hap- piness in working for others and looked forward to another time, when she would wear her dear little blue dress-after the War was done. MARGARET FLAVIN, '2l. A MAN.

The Seniors were engaged in a laboratory period in Zoology and their lesson was an intensive study of the class Vermes, the humble worm. Betty picked up the Worm and nonchalantly ran her lingers down his back. Then a tiny groan caught her ear and as she looked across the table she almost sneered. 7 Q2 A NORMAL OFFERING Dainty Doris was sitting in a helpless attitude looking at the worm wriggling before her. She made one or two movements as if to pick it up. Oh, I can't touch it, she said, and looked appealingly at Betty as if asking her not to laugh. But Betty did laugh and sneered, Baby! Won't eat you! Look! She held the worm up as she spoke and made a feint as if to throw it at Doris. Doris cringed in her seat and turned pale. Betty looked more disgusted and turned away, saying to herself, 4'She makes me tired. It's all put-on just to attract Allan's atten- tion and make him think she is so sweet and nice. She turned her little pug nose up as high as it would go and went on examin- ing her worm. Betty, with her boyish love of Nature, could never understand a girls' fear of mice, worms, and snakes. She was a favorite with the boys who said she was a good sport. She meditated about Doris for a few minutes, but the bell rang and the period ended. Two weeks later the Seniors held their long anticipated prom. The hall was gay with flowers and decorations. Well dressed boys and girls filled every corner. Doris, in a rose-colored creation, was everywhere at once and it was plain that she was the centre of interest. She seemed to smile, talk, dance and enter- tain all at once, with no effort. Partners crowded around for dances. Over in an inconspicuous corner Betty watched Doris with envious eyes. She was ill at ease and uncomfortable in a tailored silk never meant for such an affair. She was alone and no one looked her way. She had no partner all the evening. As her eyes followed every movement that Doris made, she envied her. The boys who had so eagerly asked Betty to accompany them on their hikes and to take part in their sports, were now clustering. around Doris, clamoring for dances, Once, as they whirled by, Doris caught Bettyis glance and smiled and then Betty heard her say, That poor child is all alone, Allan. You're going to ask her for the next dance. Now run along.

Much spirit in that class-and the best of it is that they display it equally in all things. In the history or literature class, for ex- ample, teacher or students were never bored. There Was always a tinge of excitement and enthusiasm wherever any member of Class B Was found. A good reputation, Wasntt it? You notice We say Was, Because now We are Class A. The class that stands for Attitude-the right kind-Ability, Activity, Achievement, and a thousand other worth-While things. When We became the leaders of the school, one thing hap- pened Which brought a little cloud to our sky. We were divided- We became A and A1 and A2. .Al was sent for outside training in September for twenty-six weeks. Poor A2 people must tread the Weary road through Model. But let me tell you, as one Who scuied over its cobblestones, it ivasn't half bad. In fact, We act- ually enjoyed it at times. At the same time We felt a little thrill of importance as We travelled with much haste through the cor- NORMAL OFFERING 51 ridors to our various duties. Music, as we taught it in Model, was our especial joy. We all agree that Miss Rand has the world record for writing down crits as we attempted to get a lesson over the top. All the same, we did envy our more fortunate classmates as they sallied forth each morning with lunch-box in hand and came home at night without the sign of a textbook. After thirteen weeks, however, A2 was allowed the same experience. Without doubt it was different from anything we had known before. Much mad dashing about for the seven-thirty train, wild scrambling for pink slips and ticket books! Then came the snow. We felt bad when for several mornings, it was nearly noon before we arrived at our schools. We tried our hardest to veil our smiles when we were forced to take a vacation for two weeks be- cause of train service. A But now it is nearly over. After a few weeks more back in old Normal we shall go out for good. It gives us a mighty queer feeling. Reluctant, yet eager, we are all anxious to show what we can do and curious to learn what the future holds for us. Then, too, we are beginning to realize how true are the words of moth- ers and fathers when they have said, Make the most of those days at school, for you'll find they are the happiest if you use them as you should. We are planning great things for our last term, a class A social equal to our circus, a graduation which has never been equalled, and at last when we leave, to know that we have made history for Bridgewater Normal School and that the name of Class A, 1920, will bring back memories of service, devotion, happiness, and loyalty to our Alma Mater. 0112155 IKHII.

In the fall of nineteen-eighteen, In September, nineteen-eighteen Came a new class to Bridgewater, Full of life and joy of living, Full of fun and smiles and laughter, Ready to prepare for teaching. Dark behind them rose the gymnasium, Rose the ivy-walled' gymnasium, Where there passed some awful moments, Full of fear and far from happy. Came then to us all the Seniors, Told us tales of work before us, Tales that were made up to scare us. But we did not heed their warnings. Steadily refused to listen, Went our way as best we saw it, Made our mark as willing Juniors. NORMAL OFFERING Oh, the long and weary lessons, Oh, the hard and tiresome lessons, New they were and far from easy, But we studied them and learned them Reading, history and psychology, Drawing, chemistry, and biology, Learned we names of beasts and fishes, Learned we names of rocks and tissues, 'Till our brains were set a'whirling. But we had our pleasures also, , Had our socials and our dances, Where we learned to know each other, Learned to play and laugh together. Thus we spent our year as Juniors, Happy, noisy, laughing Juniors. In the fall of nineteen-nineteen, Came we back then to Bridgewater, Came no longer as when Juniors, Came as real and earnest Seniors. Some of us began our training, Straightway we began our training, And indeed, we felt like teachers. Others of us took our studies, VVent to work again with new zeal. But the greatest of our efforts, Dreaded most of all the eEorts, Lay before us-known as Model. Entered we into those portals, With great fear and trepidationg Found we 'did not lose our voices, That our teachers were not ogres, Letrned to like to teach the children. But we heaved a sigh of gladness When our six weeks there were over, Of our marks we'll make no mention. After that, our lessons claimed us, Yes indeed, our lessons claimed us, History of education, Lit., and gym-, and picture study, Geography and how to teach it. Just a word about our playtime, About our gay and happy playtime, Social parties, and big sleigh rides, Teas and spreads and such-like gay times 60 NORMAL OFFERING Promenade in the gymnasium, Big event of all the season, Lovely gowns, a really man-dance.

In September, 1918, a group of merry, carefree girls and sh! don't say a word, three intellectual boys came to the busy realm of Bridgewater Normal School. Little did these people realize the horrors which were before them. With light hearts they entered the old curiosity shop, or in other words, the arithmetic room, and there they endeavored to make sensible use of the china-ware, measuring cups, blocks of wood, etc., which were placed before them, while Mr. Jackson played the part of an amused audience. From that class they found their way to the biology room, where they spent many busy hours trying to learn that lobsters are not fish and that birds are minus teeth. Later on in the year this happy class was introduced to the joys of music and many made their debuts as wonderful singers. In the gymnasium, it is needless to say, we starred, because, as we belonged to the three year class, a great deal was expected of us. Then came reading to which we had looked forward for some time, and there we told stories, astounding to both young and old. 76 NORMAL OFFERING But all this took place when we were merely insignificant Juniors, and now we are well embarked on our second year. As Class B we do not seem to be very much appreciated, but then, there has to be some class to take all the knocks. At the end of the first term we came very near losing one of the three persons who brought fame to Class B, but Mr. Clish Hnally decided to remain with us because he considered his pres- ence necessary to our welfare. Our time so far this year has been taken up with geography and history, which we all enjoy when there isn't a teaching les- son, literature, in which class we endeavor to be courageous like Ivanhoe or dignified like Caesar, French, in speaking which some of the members of the class struggle fervently with those terrible phonetics, and last, but by no means least, drawing. This last mentioned subject needs special emphasis, so I will pause a moment to tell about some of our new projects. In the first place, we had design, which wasn't so bad. Then came the School Magazine dummy, which was only a little worse, and then the buildings of those cozy, little bungalows which Class B so en- joyed f?J. Cf course, if we had hopes of ever living in an ideal bungalow we would register much more interest in the one we are now building, but alas, schoolteachers will be schoolteachers. Thus, Class B has progressed to date, and since there is an end to all things, there must be an end- to this lengthy chapter in the history of Class B. We now can have the pleasure of looking forward to practice teaching, and the adventures of being real Seniors. Seninr Zllnnr. Senior 4 is witty, Senior 4 is bright, When Senior 4 does things, They are exactly right. Senior 4 can study, Senior 4 can grind, But when it comes to dreadful plugs , ' Not many will you find. .

Although there's only six of us To be in K. P. II., We'll make our history a poem As other K. P-'s do. When first We entered Normal School We found to our dismay, That though the class was very small Divided We must stay. We started out nine strong at first, But by our second year We found that only six of us At roll call did appear. Our Junior days were happy ones fAnd so are K. P. IIJ We hoed, and dug, and grafted trees Which to us all was new. In Reading class We dramatized Our stories long and short, And learned in systems one by one How Reading should be taught. Our Drawing course was all complete When three books had been dong Those action figures tickled us, They caused us so much fun, We tried our skill in modeling A circus of great fame, Upon the table it was spread, While all the children came. 78 NORMAL OFFERING In Music, songs we learned to sing, And many types beside, 'Twas then we wrote some lesson plans, The first we ever tried. But let us turn to K. P. II., And leave our Junior days, Why linger on the past gone by, And look at former ways? 'Twas not until our second year, Our dear Miss Wells we knew, The teacher who so lovingly Advised us what to do. Our first term was enjoyable With several periods free. Our program was a problem Which puzzled you and me. We took some Gym all by ourselves, And some with Senior V., Geography with Senior III. I wonder how we thrive? In Mr. Kelly's Woodwork class We sawed, and planed, and split, Until we made a soft wood chair, A little child to fit. Then Model School did claim us next With all its hopes and fears, And many points we tried to learn, To help us through the years. So now we strive day after day To gain our goal at last, Oh, what a pleasure it will be Recalling what has past. ' M' E.

Had it not been for the New Student Committee, many of us Juniors would not have been able to find our way to the school. The first few days would have been a great puzzle had not the kind Seniors helped us to make out our programs and direct us to our various rooms. In due time, the officers of the class were elected and the Junior Social in the form of a Valentine's Party was given. What fun we had in reading class when we listened to another girl trying to tell and dramatize a story, but oh! how different we felt when we had to come before the class and tell our own stories. In psychology class we tried to discover why some children learn more quickly than others and why some do not learn at all. In nature study we found out a great many things about moss- es, fungi, etc., and other things that you cannot even see. In studying physiography, we learned to name the contents of our box of rocks, both backwards and forwards. 80 NORMAL OFFERING Shall we ever forget the day when we first had pruning and grafting and when so many of us went to the next class with thumbs all tied up with white bandages. Our Junior year is now drawing to a close and we look for- ward with great hope and expectation to our Senior year.

The Student Government Association seeks to represent and further the best interests of the entire student body, to-secure co- operation between the divrs student activities and to promote a feeling of responsibility, self-control, and loyalty in the student body. Every student, upon entering the school, becomes a member of the association. The work of the association is divided into three lines of activity, namely: The Representative Board, The Social Activities Committee, and The Young People's Union. The Representative Board has as its fundamental duty the oversight of student conduct outside the classroom in order to help the student body to live up to high standards and ideals of which Bridgewater has always been proud. This board 'consists of one representative from the dormitory students of each class, together with a representative from both the Junior and Senior train students. These representatives together with the officers of the association form the Representative Board. The Dean and a mem- ber of the Faculty act in an advisory capacity to this board. The President and Vice-President are chosen in February from the students in the second year of the three-year courses. The Representative Board nominates five students for each office and the selection is made by the Principal and Dean on the basis of personality, scholarship, and leadership. From February to June of their second year, they are members of the Representative Board, and from September to June of their Senior year, they hold office. 86 NORMAL OFFERING The Secretary and Treasurer are chosen in September from the Student Body by the Representative Board and hold office from September to June. Regular meetings of the Representative Board are held every Monday evening for the purpose of bringing before the Board matters of conduct which need adjustment, any complaints or suggestions from the Student Body, the appointment of light proc- tors for the following weekg, and, once a month, the choosing of regular monthly proctors.

The Social Activities Committee is a representative group of students whose principal duty is to initiate and direct the social life of the school. This committee was organized by the Student Government Association in September, 1919, and has been guided in its work by the Faculty Council. It was soon found that to make any headway along social lines there must be some financial backing. Therefore a tag day was held and all purchasers of tags were admitted to a Hallowe'en Party given on October 31, 1919, in the gymnasium. NORMAL OFFERING 87 From this tag day a fund of nearly eighty dollars was estab- lished and it appeared to be a good beginning. This was a start so that all future socials were planned and given by the various classes. The idea was to arrange one social a month, but in some cases the parties were postponed and several were held on con- secutive Fridays. It is hoped that this fact will not be an argu- ment for fewer parties next year, for the elimination of them would be detrimental to the social life of the school. A series of Hospitality Teas was held, one every two weeks, in Normal Reception room. A need for greater social intercourse among the students was felt and it seemed as if these teas would serve the two-fold purpose of promoting this relationship and at the same time give the girls some social training. This has been the irst year of the committee as an organized body. On the whole it has been a successful venture. It is the responsibility of those who are to return next year to keep it living, growing, and helpful, both for the school and for the students. Let the friendly, democratic attitude, which must ever be the basis of social success, be the spirit which will prevail. Members of the Social Activities Committee for 1919-1920.

The Young People's Union this year was organized under a new constitution, incorporated with the Student Government As- sociation. Under this new constitution there are to be no dues, but one-fourth of the student activity fund is to be devoted to the use of the Young People's Union. The New Student Committee is to be called the Hospitality Committee, and its members will re- main active throughout the year. There are to be two teacher advisors, Mrs. Riddell and Miss Davis, who will assist Miss Mof- fitt in her work. These facts comprise the main changes in the constitution. At the Sunday evening meetings this year we have had many good speakers and a large attendance. Among the special attrac- tions was a very inspiring talk given by Deaconess Goodwin. We are greatly indebted to the Reverend Mr. Thompson and to Miss Motlit for bringing her to us. On Sunday, March 24th, Mrs. Edith Gould Currier, a former graduate of this school, gave an interest- ing stereopticon lecture on Burma, India, where she has spent sev- eral years. The members of the various churches in town were invited and a goodly number accepted the invitation. On the whole, the Young People's Union has had a very suc- cessful year, and it thanks all the members of the school for their hearty support. NORMAL OFFERING 89 GLEE CLUB I . OFFICERS Director, Miss Frieda Rand Accompanist, Miss Ethel Boyden President, Miriam Ford Librarian, Esther Sampson Secretary-Treasurer, Teresa Relihan The year 1919-1920 has been marked by a very active and successful career for the Normal Glee Club. Under the direction of Miss Rand, assisted by Miss Boyden as accompanist, with the co-operation of the sixty-four members, the Club has already presented some interesting programs, first furn- ishing delightful music for the Christmas dinner. The most important feature of the year Was the concert given Friday evening, April 23, 1920. The Club Was assisted by Miss Edith Woodman, soprano, and Miss Ethel Fielding, accompanist. The concert was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone and proved a great success. The Glee Club is now looking forward to participating in the Baccalaureate and Graduation Exercises. The members of 1920 take pleasure in extending to the future members, their best Wishes for success in the coming year. T. R.

A great deal of the club's success was due to the untiring efforts of Miss Moffitt. The work for 1919-1920 was begun with two members of the previous year and fourteen new members. The first appearance of the club was on Nov. 21, 1919, when two plays, Spreading the News, and The Man Who Married the Dumb Wife were given. This was a great success. ' On May 14, 1920, the club presented The Comedy of Errors and it was considered by all one of the best performances ever given by the club. V A M. E. M. Secretary.

The fifty-seven members of the French Club with their Directrice, Miss Bradford, are all working to furtherthe interest in French in the school, to obtain individual help in learn- ing French habits and customs, and to acquire a better knowledge of French, with the one idea of being able to use it. The greatest aim of the Club, however, is to encourage the friendly relations between France and America. Very interesting meetings have been held at which it is necessary to remember that Ici on parle francais. The Club has already accomplished good Work.. At Thanksgiving time, the members filled a large basket with all kinds of eatables and gave it to a poor French family in Bridge- water. Also, in response to an appeal in the Literary Digest for scrap books for the children in the devastated regions of France, a large number of pictures and magazines were contributed to the French Club by all the school, and these were sent to France. Thus far, our Club has been a great success, and we are sure that it will continue as such. MARY BROUGHTON. 94 NORMAL OFFERING ip LIBRARY qi CLUB President, Isabella W. Lees Secretary-Treasurer, Doris M. Wordell The Library Club has passed its first anniversary. You ask us if our year has been a busy one. It has. Four members grad- uated and five new ones were admitted. One of our alumnae is already in a high school library. Whenever possible we aid the librarian in her work and endeavor at our meetings to read and discuss current as well as classic literature. Perhaps a resume of what the library is, what it aims to be, and what it does would not be amiss. The Normal School library aims to be a center of school activ- ity. Only three years ago the organization was begun and owing to the work of the students of the school under Miss Pritchard's splendid direction, a good working library has been built up. Its aim is to furnish material for research on all subjects, not only by supplying the necessary books but also by encouraging the use of its constantly growing collection of periodicals and illustrative material. With bulletin boards for current pictures and clippings, exhibits of books, helps for teachers, notices of plays, lectures, musical events and new books, an opportunity is given for infor- mation along all lines of educational endeavor. The library hours have come to mean a great deal to the chil- dren of the training school. At times, they have library lessons, story telling, and freedom for browsing among the books in the chi1dren's corner. Instruction is given to all classes of the school in the use of books and libraries, and an effort is made to have everyone NORMAL OFFERING 95 enjoy the library and to have everyone know what it stands for in school work.

Although having but few available basketball men, Normal decided to put a team on the floor this year. With the aid of a couple of town players a good team was organized and many interesting' games were played. Much credit must be given for the lighting qualities which the team displayed, as is shown by the fact that Normal won out in segeral overtime affairs, in one case piling up a high total in the extra five minutes of play. Pickett, Stevens, and Burke werethe Normal men who played regularly. At the beginning of the season the Bridgewater Club team, one of the fastest amateur in the state, applied for permission to play in the gym and an arrangement was made whereby Normal played most of its games in conjunction with this team, thus providing for a good evening's entertainment.
