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. Never let strife nor quarrel Darken Friendship's brow, Sacred is her meaning, Hold close her vow. I have a friend-she's true. Ponder deeply now.-Have you? F. M. S. '20.

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. '20.
