10 NORMAL OFFERING EDITORIAL. It has been the aim of the NORMAL OFFERING Board this year to do away with all that had no direct bearing on our school life, and to substitute for it material that in future years would bring back vividly the hours of work and play at Bridgewater. This has not been the easy task that it would perhaps seem to the uninitiated. There have been periods of despair, as well as of hope. There have been times when the Board almost relinquished its idea of a book worthy of a school of college standing. But finally the OFFERING was produced. Like all achievements, it falls a little short of what we had hoped. We realize now the mistakes we have made, and it is impossible for us to judge whether or not our efforts have met with success. The decision lies in the hands of the student body. There- fore, take this book, and bearing in mind the task we had in hand, read it through. If you consider it a book you would be willing- and proud-to show as representative of your school, if you find in it a true picture of the activities of the year of 1922-1923, then we are content. ,A WORD OF THANKS. The Editorial Board wishes to extend its thanks and apprecia- tion to the following members of the Faculty, for the aid and help- ful criticism they have been so ready to give:-Miss Beatley, Miss Prevost, Miss Nye, Mr. Sinnott and Mr. Boyden. It has been .a long, hard task to edit this OFFERING on account of the changes which have been effected. All that we have done has been made possible by the hearty co-operation and untiring efforts of the members -of the Board. It is impossible to name one person who has been more valuable than the others. However, because of the amount of skill and labor needed in the execution of her particular duties, and be- cause of the way she has undertaken her responsibility, we wish to extend particular thanks to Miss O'Meara, and the Art Department.
