NORMAL OFFERING I928 PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF THE STATE NORMAL SCHOOL BRIDGEWATER - MASSACHUSETTS VOLUME NO. XXX CAHLKS I T t M HOOL FACULTY AND COUNCIL SC NING A TRAI Dedicated To The Training School The Training School is not a beautiful building, but it has an air of permanence that is reassuring in these portable days. On a late winter afternoon when windows become blocks of yellow light, it achieves a kind of spreading warmth allied to beauty. ln the spring it is something of a relief to End its red brick still solid in a mad green world when even earth seems transient. Yet a school-any school-is more than a simple structure. Buildings are shells to guard and hold whatever within may be precious. The walls of the Training School shelter knowledge, purpose, ideals :-the knowledge that is handed on to children, the purpose of students who will one day be teachers, the ideals of those who are strengthening both knowledge and purpose by teaching children and students. The prose of day after day in school may seem a dull place in which to seek poetry. You who believe this have forgotten how to dream yourselves awake. Can you stand before children and watch their ideas come to life under your slight power, without an atom of the feeling that artists know? Or do you close your ears to the rhythm of creation and hear only restlessness? The Training School gives to some of us this broader vision of teaching, through the understanding of those who are our guides. We should be lost in self-consciousness and the fear of skepticism if we talked about if often. To live it-that may be the way of appreciation. The Training School is not a beautiful building? MARGARET E. DUNHAM ALMA MATER Dedicated to Dr. Albert G. Boyden Pmfncvlpal, 1860-1906 Oh loved Alma Mater we greet thee, Thy daughters and sons from afar, As often we pause in our toiling To hail thee, whose children we are. REFRAIN Hail to Normal! Hail to Normal! Safe for aye in mem'ry's shrineg Hail to Normal! Dear old Normal! Praise and love be ever thine. Vlfith strong, steady hand dost thou lead u Thy powerful arm is our stayg Thy light is our beacon in darkness, Wlhich ever will lend us its ray. Oh may thy fair name live forever, Be deeply impressed on each heartg That we in our trials and triumphs May ne'er from thy guidance depart. Music by WM.

GRISWOLD She is not dead, she sleepethf' Like the grasses and flowers VVhich in winter withdraw At the call of their Maker, And bide their time in patience, Hidden from the sight of man, Leaving behind bright memories, Enobling infiuences, And hopes of future brightness, She, too, is now gone from us. But when the springtime comes And the valiant robin's call Gives to the world a message, again, ...Q 11 5... And bids all be of good cheer, XN7e'll think of her cheerful face That gave no hint of suffering, But showed a love of nature, And of all creatures of God.

ALFREDA OSBORNE RITCHIE History SCENE: The front steps of the main building at the Normal School, Bridgewater. CHARACTERS: A stranger - An undergraduate of the school QThey are watching a huge passenger plane disappear into the air.j Undergraduate: I see, stranger, you are watching with interest the departure of that air plane. i Stranger: 'fYes, I am. Can you tell me about the passengers in it? L I should be glad to, for you should know about them. They are the forty-three illus trious members of the graduating class of 1928, leaving school after four happy years spent together in work and play. They are unique in one experience, for they have attended classes in the old building being Freshmen when the fire occurred on December 10, 1924: in the Basement Col lege, and they are fortunate in having been in the new building two years. S How interesting! Tell me more of the activities of this group. U They have stood their ground admirably in all their endeavors: scholastically, athlet ically and socially. As Freshmen they were content to follow the lead of their super iors, but made their presence felt in a quiet, unassuming way. During their Sophomore year they began to step into the lime-light with theirrevival of the old dances at the Social of the '26's. That night Miss Newton appeared in a beautiful old-fashioned gown and told the group about the socials of her day, and in one more way endeared herself to the whole school. In their third, or Junior year, the athletes shone, and the class came out on top in many events. At the end of this year some of their number decided to graduate so boarded their planes and flew into the world. This year was rather saddened by the tragic death of one of the men-one who will never be forgotten for his scholastic ability and ever-pleasant manner. At last their Senior year came. One night early in the year they, as a class, took the whole school on a tour of the Far East at their Social, and from that time forth the Normal School began to be known as Note-Book Land. This final year was a happy and benehcial one to each and every member, and now they have departed into the world to take their chosen places. ELEANOR W. GOMLEY ...Q 14 5...

Clara has poise and a ready vocabulary, thus making us proud of her when she speaks in Chapel. She deserves praise in studies and ath- letics, for she excels in everything that she does. Clara was one of the noble group who elected English history this year. As president of YV. A. A., she continued to uphold the high standards of that organization.

She has shown us that much is to be gained by basking in such ghastly light, for she is not only a class leader in scholarship, but a great worker in social and athletic affairs. It is always difficult to say just where she is, but the nearest guess is somewhere between Middleboro and Hanover, going strong. Ruth's crowning achievement came in her A year, when she put the Lost and Found Department on a paying basis. MARION BOTTOMLEY 625 June Street, Fall River. Dormitory Council '28: Library Club '27-H283 Library Staff '28g IV. A. A. '28. One of the first things they told us in 1924 was that good thick notebooks meant something . Marion took it liter- ally. XVe remember the day when she had to make three trips to bring in her literature notebook. Never mind, we may be jealous, but we admit her laurels. Few of us know more about books and libraries than Marion, and that will give her prestige-that indefinable something-in teaching. 9 Paul Rex ere Road, Arlington heights, Mass. Clee Club '24-'26, WV.

Unassuming, yet one always finds her present when occasion demands either hard work or a bit of nonsense. Briny's penmanship causes her much an- noyance, so she usually resorts to a special system of printing with characters all her own.

QThe labyrinth was Woodward basementj In that cave of knowledge we learned That bothers me, And what not, Much mystery and Demonstrate! We learned quite a few things besides, incidentally. In June, after finals and notebooks, came fond farewells to friends, last looks at the cellar and at favorite spots on the campus and gardens. School was over for the summer. Day by day, we had been watching the building of our new Normal School with pride and anticipation, but you'll find a tender spot in our memories for the humble environment in which our class had its start. Quite different, the second year: warm greetings instead of lonelinessg a new building instead of our old one. This last somehow seemed like a new chance. No traditions here. N o memories. No 'Lfloors trod by feet that have long since ceased to tread. It was for us to create traditions-traditions worthy of being upheld. We felt the responsibility as a school and as a class. This year we had our May Party as a social event. The floors had been well waxed for the occasion, and everything slid along merrily. VVe had proved our prowess as social lights. This was also the memorable year when we all gleaned much experience in the subtle art of teaching and disciplining. Alas! ' What sadness on the fatal, opening day of this our third and last year, when we found our divisions reorganized, our groups ruthlessly broken up. This day marked the transition to the strong class spirit for which our class shall be noted down through the annals of Bridgewater. On the night of November 11, 1927, seething masses of desperate human beings sur- rounded the gym. They were the unfortunate creatures who had not come early enough for the famous Lindy Social, given by our class. Trilby herself would have been green- eyed, had she seen the finished performance put on by some of our girls in their red, white T. ...4 30 T... CLASSES Class B and blue costumes. Uncle Sam and Miss Liberty were there. We all stood around singing the old songs, popular during the war. Then we danced and later came home with gay little hats to paste in our mem books, as if we could ever forget. The most supreme triumphs evolve from the greatest struggles. Small wonder our Lindy Social was such a howling success! Three years have gone by, There have been hectic times before exams and notebooks, but when they are over, they only serve to make us appreciate our leisure time all the more. We acknowledge the debt we owe our instructors, who have made life more full for us. Out of these years we have a greater purpose, vistas of thought opened to us, lifelong friendships, happy memories. They are years which we treasure, now and always. N ow that the time is so near for us each to go our separate ways, it all steals over us more poignantly than be- fore. We may well say at the end of it: We liked it all! I H.

ADELAIDE BOUTELLE History A Last year we were the Junior Class of the,Schoolg to-day, there is a new class which has filed into our ranks, and we have stepped forward into the vacancies left by the graduated class of 1927. So the hand of time circles, stopping for no one. ' We entered school on one bright September morning in 1926 and were divided into classes designated as junior I, II, and III, respectively. After our shyness wore away, we began to look with interest upon our new friends, and to acquaint ourselves with our strange sur- roundings. We considered that we were fortunate to be among the entering classes who Hrst attended chapel in the new Horace Mann Auditorium. As Juniors we did not experience the in- convenience of using Woodward basement as a classroom. Our class has tried to keep pace with the preceding Senior record, both in scholarship and athletics. Some of our members have proved efficient in hockey, soccer, basketball, bowling, and baseball. A girl from Junior I was Head of Bowlingg Junior III won the Spring Field Meet in a contest between all the classesg while junior II won the Baseball Championship of 1927. The Senior-C Social and the Senior I Social show that we have not neglected the social side of the school-world. This year one division of the class has been out training each term, but during the spring term we expect to be united again. The Seniors of 1928 extend sincere wishes for the prosperity and happiness of those con- nected with the school. M.

By the way, will you ever forget our dramatization of the f'King of the Golden River? Elizabeth: Never! And speaking of dramatization, remember Campus Carnival that year, and our portrayal of Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary? Gert: Yes, and how about the parties that we had our first year-our Christmas party, and the one that the KP l's and 2's gave us at the Kindergarten? Lib: Yes, much fun was had by allf' No wonder the days passed so quickly. Why, before we knew it, we were KP 2's. Remember how wonderful the new buildings and the campus looked when we came back in the fall? To me the outstanding events of that year were our term spent in the Training School, and the Gym Meet. I think we hadn't realized just how athletic We were until that famous Gym Meet happened. Fran: And now we are, or rather were, KP 1's. Our last year has been rather broken up- by outside training, but I'm glad that this spring term has given us a last chance to work and play together.

The C4 division displayed ability on the school soccer team. Of the fourteen young men who received their letters this year, eight were from Class C. In basketball, we tried to live up to the slogan Never miss a shot. This spring C1 and C2 were called upon to defend the class title in baseball.

HELEN MANWARING Vice-President . HELEN CROVVLEY Secretary . MARGARET MASON Treasurer . FAUSTINA CUSHING History The juniors entered on their two-year Normal career with interest and enthusiasm. Junior II was very nearly a winner in the Freshman Hockey Meet. However, Junior III was successful in overcoming her opponents, and became inter-class champion. The Class Team won four games and lost two. Thus it is apparent that we have been active in ath- letics. Dramatization also held interest for the Juniors. They presented several plays for the Training School pupils, one of which, The Magic Sword, was given for a Chapel program by Junior I. Later, on Longfellow's birthday, Junior III presented a scene from The Song of Hia- wathaf' All three classes are anticipating next year, when they will return to Normal School as Seniors. -IOSEPHINE BUCK CHRISTINE NELSON RUTH SCHENCK TOM-BOY! After lunch hour, the children came into the room deep in discussion of a technical point in baseball. They brought the argument to me for settlement. We weighed the question on both sides, and finally I succeeded in quieting the excitement. After I had proved to' them the right solution, one little boy whispered, HGee! She's a regular tom-boy! She plays base ball 'n' everything! . ESTHER H. FORSBERG. ...4 94 5... CLASSES Class Roll - Junior l BRADBURY, HAZEL . BUCK, JOSEPHINE . CLARKE, PEARL . . DWYER, MARGARET. . ELDRIDGE, ALICE . .

Some people make bungling work of telling jokes, but here is an example of a small black piece of humanity who knew the art. Mary came up to me with black curls dancing.

BOOMER DORM ITORIES Woodward Hall President . . ..... ELEANOR GOMLEY Vice-President . . . JESSICA LEONARD Secretary-Treasurer . ...... KATHERINE PACKARD VVoodward Dormitory is organized under the squad system. Each block of rooms elects a squad-leader who co-operates with the head proctor of her floor, who, in turn, aids the president. Together, the squad-leaders, head proctors, and officers of the dormitory make up the true governing body of the house, House Board. However, House Board is not efficient in matters governmental alone, for through its leadership the monthly house-meetings are held. Originally, these meetings were called in order that the president might more easily impart current news or regulations, but this year a new plan has been adopted whereby every other one becomes a party. Thus, in October, after the adjournment of the business meeting, the girls spent a merry hour in renewing childhood by bobbing for apples, racing for marshmallows attached to strings, and playing other kiddish games. In the same manner the December meeting was converted into a Christmas party where Santa and Christmas festivity reigned. During January and February the girls became interested in money-making schemes, for they had long been desirous of new decorations for their reception-room. So the dormitory purchased boxes of candy, which, when sold by the head proctors, not only added to the treasury, but also became a welcome addition to many luncheons and dinners. This has been an unusually happy year for IfVoodward girls. Though their dormitory lacks the horney quality of Gates House and the seclusion of Normal Hall, within its walls two hundred girls find such a spirit of friendship and comradeship as can be found nowhere else. . KATHERINE PACKARD Normal Hall President . . . . . . MARGARET DUNHAM Vice-President . . . . IVIABLE PRATT Secretary-Treasurer ........ CHRISTINE SVVANSON Life at Normal Hall this year will be a happy memory, for good dorm spirit has certainly prevailed. The newcomers are spirited, talented, and full of enthusiasm. They demon- strated this at the entertainment which they gave for the older girls in the form of a most unusual radio concert. Everything went well until someone took that extraordinary radio out of the room, and the announcer kept right on talking. We are proud to say that the banner for the Inter-Dorm Sing is still hanging on the stairway in full view. , . Normal Hall had as usual a spooky Hallowe'en party, in which the new girls were led down through the gruesome lower regions where they met with many ghosts and goblins. Next came our Christmas party. Gifts, carols, games, a Christmas tree and refreshments were only part of the fun. Santa Claus was there, but oh, what a different Santa! He had been on a diet, so gone were his fat cheeks and his tummy, yet he seemed just as jolly as ever. ...-5 97 5... l928 NORMAL OFFERING And now some good news: Normal Hall is going to have at least half a laundry! We have all worked hard to get it. We gave a food sale which was very successful, and as a result we have a fund which is soon to be converted into an electric iron. Those third-Hoor bridge parties are usually well-advanced before study-hour, and sings on the stairs often resound in the dormitory at 9:45. We're such a sociably happy family, and we so enjoy living here that we are glad to say, at any time, Oh, we are the girls of Normal Hall! CHRISTINE SNVANSON The teaching profession may be overcrowded, but Normal Hall girls do not worry. We'll make our hobbies serve us. DOLORES BURNS . . . BESSIE MONAHAN . BERTHA MILLIKEN .

ETTA ALLEN In the fall, our house opened for the third year with Helen Ayers as leader and president. For the first day or two we had no Hostess, but soon Miss Henderson arrived to Hll this position. She has been very efficient and most helpful to the girls. The first big social event at our house was a Welcome Party to the new girls and to Miss Henderson. Miss Pope joined us to enjoy our games and refreshments. This party cer- tainly accomplished its aim, for at the end of the evening all of us were thoroughly acquaint- ed. ' When everyone began to talk of Alumni W'eek-end, Gates House was scheduled to play hockey against VVoodward. Gwen was elected captain of our team. Although we could not claim a victory, the spirit and enthusiasm with which the girls played and cheered showed the true Gates feeling. We are only eighteen in number. A visitor is just as likely as not to find some of us gathered around the victrola waiting for the remainder of the household before starting a march to the dining-hall. When you see one Gates House girl you'll surely see some others near. Vile believe in that old motto: United we stand, divided we can't be seen. We didn't want Santa Claus to forget us when he paid his visit to the Normal School, so we arranged a Christmas party to attract him. Surely enough, he did come. After our entertainment, he gave each of us a present, tasted our refreshments, and started off for Normal Hall. There were a few thrills of last year which we have not yet experienced. The most anticipated UD of these is the midnight fire-drill. Perhaps, if we are faithful at practices, and if we expend our scariness on the elusive mice that sometimes scamper aroundour home, we'll even be ready for this thrill.

HELEN O'BRIEN The Student Government Association has as its main object the regulation of all the affairs of the school that pertain to student life, which do not come directly under the juris- diction of the faculty. In regulating these affairs it tends to promote the spirit of coopera- tion and altruism, and holds the school motto as a slogan, Not to be ministered unto, but to minister. It not only helps as a unifying force, but also as the means by which the moral and social standards of the school may be made and kept. The two parts of this association are the Dormitory Council and the Student Council. The duty of the Dormitory Council is to regulate the affairs of the dormitory life. The Student Council regulates matters which pertain to the whole student body. ALICE TAYLOR M DORMITORY COUNCIL Back row, left to right. H. HUTCHINSON, H. AYERS, H. HARGRAVES, M. PRATT, K.

During Alumni week-end the day students formed a hockey team and showed their prowess by tying both teams of Normal and VVoodWard Halls. Vllhen the Student Council called for pledges to pay for the new Electrola, the day stu- dents came forward with a pledge for twenty-five dollars. ,We have held food sales to help increase the fund. The Day Student Social was held on January 27th in the gymnasium in the form of a winter carnival, and it proved a great success both financially and socially.

On the pages we have torn off there have been many red letter dates. Among the first of these was the Hallowe'en Social held in the Albert Gardner Boyden Gymnasium. Every- thing was good, from the young lady who took your little piece of cardboard away from you at the door, to the decorations, and then to the all-important-refreshments. The occasion for the next noticeable rush to the ironing-boards was the tea-dance on the Saturday afternoon of Alumni Week-end. This is always a gala time, and one of the too few occasions when we have the Alumni back in force. ...4 108 g... ORGANIZATIONS Then there were those life-savers, Wednesday night dances and Friday night socials. The A's started the year well, and the succeeding socials have maintained the high standard set for them. A word should also be said for our innovation, the electrola, which seems to be in use at noon-time. Certainly some mention of the boys' orchestra should be madeg our brothers are coming right along in the musical world. live wish, particularly, to thank the chaperons who have so kindly ofhciated in that ca- pacity on VVednesday nights. All in all, 1927-1928 has not been such a bad year,-and the committee wishes to thank all those who have helped to make it a success.

We chose for our Shakespearian play, The Taming of the Shrew and were most for- tunate in having had the opportunity of seeing it produced in Boston with Fritz Leiber, earlier in the year. Many other social events will be remembered, especially the delightful Christmas dinner and party at Miss MoHit's home.

Nous parlames des tprojets pour 1'annee et des moyens pour perfectionner notre Cercle. ' Le mois de novembre fut renomme, pour plusieurs raisons. Premierement, quelques nouveaux membres furent admis au Cercle. Deuxiemement, ces memes membres nous donnerent de bon divertissement qui fut une vraie surprise. Aussi dans ce mois nous donnames un programme interessant at l'assemblee generale sous la direction d'un comite pour, la musique. Cette annee on divisa le Cercle en quelques comites, chaque membre dans un comite. Il y eut des comites pour la musique, pour la lecture, pour l'art, etc. Au mois de decembre, ces memes comites nous amuserent. Aussi, a ce temps la nous commengames le travail pour notre Fete. Des comites furent nommes et nous travaillemes beaucoup. ir Notre Fete! Que ce fut un succes foul Ce fut un carnival dans une des provinces de France. L'esprit, les evenements, les decorations et les costumes furent tous comme ceux d'un carnival francais. Le gymnase ressembla vraiment a un grand jardin de la Riviera avec ses jolies fleurs qui firent contraste avec Ia neige qui couvrit la terre tout autour du gymnase. Le balcon ressembla a un cafe parisien avec ses jolies bonnes en costume. Il y eut beaucoup d'evenements a la Fete, parmi lesquels la ridee, une danse de Bretagne, presentee par quelques membres du Cercle, et les voitures decorees des differents clubsfurent interessants. Le prix pour la meilleure fut gagnee par le Library Club. On idonna aussi d'autres prixg il y en eut pour ceux qui devinerent l'identite du roi et de la reine. Ce fut Frances Bryant, reine, et Donald Damon, roi. A cause d'avoir vete en secret pour le roi et la reine dans l'assemblee gene-rale, il y eut beaucoup de curiosite concernanlt leurs identites. Il y eut aussi des prix pour les costumes et pour les chats et les chiens dans le Concours 'des chats et chiens. Celui la fut tres amusant, il y eut de grands et de petits chiens et chats et d'autres rouges, roses, et bleus. Dans l'opinion de tout le monde la soiree fut une occasion tres profitable et amusante. On s'amusa en dansant, en mangeant de la patisserie, en ecoutant le badinage des autres et Ia musique de l'orchestre en vrais provinciaux francais. Apres la Fete le reste de l'annee fut sous la direction des differents comites et nous traivaillames pour que le souvenir du Cercle soit bon dans les memoires de celles qui partent en juin, et que tous les membres chantent toujours, Vive le Cercle Francais.

EDITH FOSTER HELEN HUTCHINSON Treasurer , JESSICA LEONARD The Library Club has had another very successful and enjoyable year. The meetings have consisted, for the most part, of informal discussions on various subjects concerning books. Recently, the club has joined the Literary Guild of America which entitles it to a new book each month. At the close of the school year, these books will be placed in the Browsing Corner so that all may enjoy them. In helping to further the joy in reading by contributions to the Browsing Corner, the Library Club has received the cooperation of the Dramatic and Gardening Clubs. A motion picture benefit and an entertaining social given by the club may be numbered among the events of the social calendar. HELEN HUTcH1NsoN METAMORPHOSIS I had been assigned to teach the drawing of a cucumber in the first grade. Now anyone who has taught before our supervisor knows the necessity of having a specimen before be- ing allowed to teach. That was the point which began to bother me when late that Septem- ber afternoon I hiked all over Bridgewater trying to buy, borrow, or otherwise acquire that common vegetable. Finally an idea dawned. I saw Sydney, one of the first-graders, playing around the farm- house which is his home. Immediately I associated farm with Hcucumberf' Hello, Sydney, I said. Has your garden any cucumbers which we could draw to- morrow? I think there are some in the garden, he said. But all the cucumbers in sight were not green, they were yellow and frost bitten. Surely I couldn't teach the drawing of a yellow cucumber. Then-another bright idea. I thanked Sydney, took the cucumber, and hurried back to the dormitory where I pro- ceeded to make a green vegetable from a yellow one by applying much green crayon! The next day, the lesson progressed in good shape. With great relief I saw the super- visor pass out of the room, unenlightened as to the artificiality of my specimen. At recess Sydney confronted me. Miss jacques, he demanded, did that yellow cucumber grow green overnight? EDNA G.

C. were a curiosity shop, it would have many patrons, we are sure. Owing to the large number of applicants for admission and the number welcomed into the club, we have, enrolled, fifty-five active members-the largest membership ever boasted. Through the splendid cooperation of the new members with the old, T. C. has been able to take on added duties, including that of keeping the auditorium and library supplied with plants and flowers from the greenhouse. We have established a horticultural section in the Browsing Corner of the School Library. A great deal of interest was aroused in the club's contribution to the Fete des Fleurs. Our own annual social, an April Fool Party, on March 30, with its jokes and fun, proved amusing and successful. We feel that we have accomplished much in the way of promoting the aims of the club, namely,-to promote interest in and to increase the knowledge of horticulture and agricul- ture, primarily in the Normal School at Bridgewater. ESTHER GRAY PSYCHOLOGICAL METHOD OF BORROVVING Once upon a time a certain gentleman, well-known in this vicinity, borrowed a certain Ford, fairly intact and also well-known. Upon leaving the school which he had been visit- ing, he perceived a large crack in the windshield of the borrowed conveyance. Well! he remarked. Someone without average intelligence must have thrown a rock at it, and the out of the matter is that he seems to have had a good aim. lllhereupon, being a gentleman and a good sport, he drove to the nearest garage and after having a new windshield attached to the car, he decided that, for a Ford, it had reached the limit of im- provability. Then he returned the car, still fairly intact, to its owner and began an explanation. The owner tried to interrupt, recovered from an attack of near-apoplexy, and ,finally stuttered feebly, But, man, that windshield has been cracked for the last four years! -4 117 Q... l928 NORMAL OFFERING C: LT-EEE. , -- I I I I . it I 4 I my I . .,,,,,,,.,....w 1 GLEE CLUB Back row.

They greatly increased our number, and with the cooperation of previous members the year has been more than successful. At Christmas time, following the custom of former years, we led the carols at the Yule! tide dinner and, later in the evening, at Dr. Boyden's residence. This was only the first of our many appearances. In February, we were honored by an invitation to sing at a meeting of the convention of national educators. The annual concert in April with our fine soloist was one of the great social events of the year. With music at Baccalaureate and Commencement, our activities were ended for one of our most successful years. BLANCHE CUTLER ONE OUT! Short division! The intricacy of its process seemed far above the minds of my little third grade. When to borrow and when not to borrow-that was the question. To divide by two and have three left over-possible, yes, and why was it wrong? To-day I had resolved that I would teach them the process if I had to spend half the day doing it. So I drilled and drilled, dictated examples, worked them at the board, helped individuals, talked, explained, and used every other method known to me. At last the hush of assurance that accompanies the dawn of knowledge came over the group. I passed paper for the day's written work. Everyone seemed eager to begin,-all but swarthy little Oliver down in the front seat. He seemed deep in thought,-scowling, puz- zling, his bushy black head resting on his hands. As a last urge I said, Now let me see everyone working. Up shot Oliver's hand. With all the pathos of a confused soul, he stood up, his eyes troubled and strained, and shaking his black head he answered my questioning look. Miss Lynch , he said solemnly, I don't ketch on.!

The club was organized in March, 1927, and has pro- -gressed rapidly from seven to twenty-seven members. The aims of the organization are, lirst, to prepare the members to be better teachers by helping them to gain a better control of the English language, and second, to give them a working knowledge of parliamentary law. Our work so far has been along the lines of parliamentary procedure and argumentation. We have learned how to carry on the business of a meeting involving motions, nominations, repealing of motions, appealing of decisions from the chair, laying of matters on the table, rescinding of motions, and cases of order. In argumentation, we studied the forming of propositions and the drawing-up of briefs. We expect to do more work in debating during the coming year. All members of the student body are eligible for membership. We shall be pleased to accept new members until our quota is filled.

At the first meeting in December, we started out on our new career, introducing our new members to the Scout work and planning many interesting activities for the remainder of the year. Some of these are leather-work, a leadership course, life-saving, nature study, stunts, hikes, archery, and a trip to Cedar Hill. One of our most interesting projects has been writing to the various Normal Schools of the state to find out what they are doing in the field of Scouting. We feel that, since our reorganization, our troop has been more successful, and more people have been interested in the Scout work. ELEANOR BATES 1 r I v KNIGHTS OF HARMONY Back row, left to right.

EUNICE MORSE If, as psychologists tell us, we learn by doing, then we may say that W. A. A. has greatly increased its fund of knowledge, for its sphere of activity has this year been larger than ever before. President Clara Almstead started the movement by the talk she gave in Chapel at the beginning of the year. She explained to the freshmen how W. A. A. was organized and governed, and reviewed for all the aim of the association: to develop in every member as far as possible the qualities of Scholarship, Service, Sportsmanship, and Stability. This was followed by the annual hot-dog roast. At the first general meeting, nearly every girl was present when we promised to ' -pledge allegiance to our health, And so to VV. A. A. For Service, Sportsmanship, and Scholarship We'll strive hard every day. For Stability we too will try In all our work and play, Where e'er we are, we'll all be true To thee, oh, W. A. A. Then, on November 11 and 12, delegates from the athletic associations of the Normal Schools at Framingham, Salem, Hyannis, Fitchburg, North Adams and Lowell came to Bridgewater for the first normal school athletic conference in the history of the state. The organization of each association was discussed from the social, financial, and sport-organiza- tion angles. As speakers, Miss Florence Somers, Assistant Supervisor of Physical Educa- tion in Massachusetts, Miss Lee Walmsley, Professor of Physical Education at Bates College in Maine, Miss Bessie Barnes, Supervisor of Physical Education at Brookline, and Miss Virginia Pierce, Director of Physical Education at Brockton High School, gave the delegates an idea of the new movements in theory and practice which are taking place in physical education work. ...Q 127 5...

The purpose of the conference was to help each association solve its problems by dis- cussing general and local problems that have arisen. This was so successfully carried out that it was decided to make the conference an annual event. Having thus received added inspiration, VV. A. A. proceeded to make innovations. Apples were procured and sold in the dormitories, dolls were dressed for settlement-house children, and skating-parties were organized. Definite awards for each sport were decided upon, and a ruling was made that members of teams need not keep health rules. These were placed on a term basis with a definite number of breaks in order to encourage girls to keep them. New ways of playing off games were tried out in hockey and basketball. In hockey, Class B and Division D2 were champions of their groups, the Commuter's Team tied with Woodward's Team for the dormitory championship, Class B Team defeated the All-Freshman Team for the school championship,and the All-Senior Team defeated the Alumnae. In basketball, Junior 3 won the division championship and Class A the class champion- ship. The Red and White game was closely contested, and resulted in a victory for the White Team.

And part with him when he goes wrong. -A. Lincoln Success is a peculiar thing! Too often, in athletics, it is measured by the number of wins and losses But-does a statement of the number of games won give an accur- ate picture of the Success of a team? VV e measure Success-not by the games won -but by the spirit with which the game was played, and by the ideals of sportsmanship lived up to by our team. Did we use unfair tactics? Did we crab the officials? Did we quit when behind? Did we crack under pressure? Did we alibi ? If we can answer the above questions with a big No -we claim a successful season. SoccER 1927 Robert F. Newbury, Coach, Leo Farren, Manager, Charles Belcher, Captain. This season brought to a close our third year of organized soccer. Soccer was introduced into this institution by one of Fall River's most ardent soccer fans-Bob Newbury. For three years he has coached, captained, and managed our soccer outfits. Everything was not easy for Bob-it was a difficult task to put soccer into the hearts of dyed-in-the-wool football enthusiasts. Persistence did it! Now it is just as common to hear Hfree-kick as forward pass in Bridgewater. Soccer has arrived-and it seems to be here to stay. Out of a stiff schedule of seven games, the team won three, lost three, and tied one. Normal scored twelve goals while its opponents scored fourteen. Newbury was high scorer. I-Ie accounted for nine points. c Captain Charles Belcher played an excellent game in the back field. His steady work and inevitable big boot have turned back many hopeful attacks on our goal. The sun seems to be shining directly over Bridgewater Normal School as far as Soccer for 1928 is concerned. Of the fourteen men to receivei letters this year, thirteen return to school next year. The men awarded letters are: Charles Belcher, Archibald Shaw, james Beckwith, Robert Newbury, Leo Farren, Benjamin Hill, Raymond Jeness, Charles Genaitis, Ralph Martin, joseph Sweeney, Lawrence Mantyla, Walter Longmore, Martin White, and Osborn Bearse. ...4 130 ORGANIZATIONS SOCCER TEAM Back row.

Reilley, Captain-Coachg Robert J. Newbury, Manager. This season the basketball team faced one of the most difficult schedules in the history of the school. Sixteen games, with first-rate clubs, were played in all. The outstanding feature of the entire season was a six-day trip through Maine and Massachusetts. During this time, approximately one thousandumiles were covered and four games played. The ...Q 131 5... 1928 NORMAL OFFERING first game was at the University of Maine, then Gorham Normal, Farmington Normal, and last of all St. john's. Although the team lost the entire four games, they left an impression of a small, hard-working, clean playing, sportsmanlike group of men in every school in which they played. To the school, this impression is of far more importance than any clean sweep of victories could be. As Oliver VVendell Holmes says: To brag little To show well To crow gently if in luck To pay up, own up, And shut up, if beaten Are the virtues of a sportingman For the first time in four years, Normal earned a hard-fought but decisive victory over Fitchburg Normal School. The score see-sawed back and forth all during the game. Fitch- burg led at the end of the half 20-19. The second half was a battle royal-and when the final gong rang Bridgewater was on the long end of the score-34-32.

The men to receive basketball letters are- Belcher, Burke, Hill, Newbury, O'Connell, Reilley, and Shaw. BASEBALL 1928 Albert G. Reilley, Captain-Coach, Raymond Jeness, Manager. Baseball prospects look better this year than they have for many years. VVith five veterans and a wealth of promising material in the first year class, it seems as though Captain Reilley has the makings of a good club. The catcher's position seems to be in doubt-Bearse, a freshman, and Hill seem to be the leading contenders. The mound seems to be well fortified in Doll and Damon. A veteran infield will probably start the season--Al Murphy who has held down the first sack for the last two seasons, Al Reilley will start his fourth year as guardian of the keystone sackg Parker at the hot corner, and White in the short field. Among the freshmen, Damon, Bearse, Burke, Palopoli, Costello, Evans, and Averill seem to be the most likely candidates for regular positions. ...Q 133 5... l928 NORMAL OFFERING October 21 October 30 November 4 November 11 November 18 November 19 December 3 December 16 January 27 February 3 February 4 February 10 March 2 March 16 March 30 April 27 April 28 May 11 June 1 June 8 June 15 June 17 june 18 Social Program 1927 - 1928 Social Activities Hallowe'en Dance.

Francis Thompson WHEN I AM DEAD When I am dead, I want to be the mould That still lives on, when dust-to-dust is tolledg That nourishes some fine, tall, cedar tree Whose roots reach down for life to me, And wrap my heart in unrelaxing hold. Life may be trapped in sorrow, fold on fold, And even the Great One only whisper Sold, To mark the ending of my revelry. But when the cedar's blood comes running cold And fills me so I live again, and bold, Then I shall know I have served worthily, And my reward for service done shall be To bear a cedar tree when I am old, When I am dead. BEATRICE COOKE SNOW IN THE HILLS RAIN I haven't thought so much of tides, Or rough cream surf, blown free. But when the rains come back again I want to be at sea. Down in the hills The snow's dim light Gleams through the trees On a winter's night. In God's dear hills The snow lies white. It splashes on the hard black roads, It tinkles on the glass, It polishes the painted leaves, And touches up the grass. Down in the hills On a winter's night Soft through the trees Comes the dim snow-light. In God's dear hills The snow lies white. But out a league or two from shore It's silver, pouring free: I want to 'stand a watch on deck On raining nights at sea.

DUNHAM A NIGHT TIME Give me a ride on your coaster, Wind, Carry me straight up to heaven, Whizz me around a few planets, Wind, Now shoot me breathlessly down again. I'm weaving a rope all of moonbeams, Wind, Slow up and watch me lasso a starg I'll triumphantly tumble it after me, Wind, Now, one, two, three-I have it! Hurrah! I'll break off the points of this too proud star, So it'll have something to remember us byg I'll toss it to earth and try for another- What? Tired already, Wind? Well, so am just carry me over the pale Milky Way To the horizon, tired as a featherg Now pillow me here on soft puffs of breeze- There! Now we'll watch the sunrise together. JOSEPHINE SHAW SMOKE I like to watch the smoke Saunter up from a chimney tall, I like to see the wind Make it softly rise and fall. Smoke is gray and sooty, But smoke is cozy, toog Smoke means ashes dirty, But smoke means warm fires new. Smoke is sad yet jolly, To make it, trees must die. But chimney smoke that rises Means warmth and light are nigh. Some smoke goes straight upward Without a sideward glance, Such smoke is calm and restful But I like smoke to dance. I like the wind to catch it, Toss it gayly here and there, And form weird patterns misty Against the frosty air. Smoke is the dust of the wind elves, Smoke shows the warmth of our fire, Smoke is a message of good cheer, Smoke-whose gray charms never tire. RACHEL S. MARSDEN MY WAY HOME The way to my house is an aisle through beauty, Wait till I tell you about it! First there's a house with smooth, round pillars. It has a wide lawn beside it, Like a green blanket drying out on the ground, I have to edge around it. The lawn has a bunch of white birches to watch it. It's celery at night. I saw it! Across the way is a salmon-pink roof, Some vines pull it down tight. Another house is the cutest thing! My Christmas-card house at night, It has such shiny paint and green blinds It makes me feel just right! But the best of all is my own sky and stars At the hill-top. I hug them tight! JOSEPHINE SHAW I-... I POETRY AN EXPLANATION WALLS I cannot say the things I wish They have builded me a barricade against the hurri- Therefore I do not know- cane, But, They have given me a shelter from the windstorm I can see romance in a glorious sunset, and the rainy The morning star takes my breath away. With timber, glass, and plaster I can feel a tug and a pull as the waves rise and fall. To guard me from disaster, A melody delights until it gives pain, They have only walled my isolation tightly in again And I cringe as I feel my body beneath the car wheels. MARION BRINE JOSEPHINE SHAW THE PECULIARITIES OF CAESAR Caesar was uneasy last night. So was I. It was a case of nerves for both of us. After a tiring day it certainly is a difficult thing to get to sleep, and I fancy our roommate had given up all attempts to rest. For a moment I felt the desire to speak out and ask Caesar what the matter wasg but no, thought I, he shall not be denied the last delicious crumbs of cake. It was heavenly. The girls say that nothing can be more fear-inspiring than the figure of Caesar. Strange that I don't object to him. Sometimes the fiercest exteriors hide mild natures. Our Caesar is usually very considerate. He never bothers us during the day, but at night! Do you know, I never heard of anyone with such a habit of rummaging about among papers in the dark. It is most distracting and nerve-racking to say the least. Tomorrow I shall have to put a little trap at the door of Caesar's palace. JOSEPHINE BUCK ...Q 139 5... l928 NORMAL OFFERING Impregnable a. Lights were beginning to stream out from store windows. The street was clogged with people hurrying homeward. He walked rapidly, almost ran, brushing insensibly against them .... Alison had written! He had felt she would. At least he had foreseen that much. . The monotonous roar of intense action was punctuated by the whistle of a desperate traffic officer .,.. Now it was over! And he had loved her so! Over! Beauty broken, dashed to a million pieces. All because of that other woman, damn her! .... Hastily he glanced at the numbers above the entrance to each building .... Seventy-five .,.. That woman had killed it when he thought it could not be touched! Seventy-seven .... He would see her, the lying hypocritical fake! It would be soon now .... Seventy-nine .... Damn these people! . . . .Eighty-one. . . .At lastl. . . ,Swiftly he jerked open the heavy door that sucked to be- hind him. .... He had been pleased when Alison told him she had met this other woman! She needed some congenial spirit, it would lessen the loneliness of the city! His feet echoed on the uncarpeted stairs. She had said the third Hoor. Strange how well he remembered. It had been just a detail among many, of no consequence then-but now! On the second landing he paused. There were several doors-how would he know which one? Slowly he stepped forward .... There were no numbers .... cards .... he hadn't thought of that. In the dimness of the corridor he could scarcely see to read. It would be the next one .... No. Yes! Ruth Georgia Sorrell. So Georgia was her middle name. Yes, she would feel that Ruth was too common! What would he do if she weren't in? Wait? Someone was moving within. She was there! He knocked. The sound startled him. Suddenly the room was quiet. He heard the snap of an electric switch and saw a line of yellow light Hash along the edge of the door. Every muscle in his body tightened as he heard her moving toward him. He had thought he couldn't hate people! Not like this .... The knob rattled and the door opened. A ghastly second or two passed He couldn't speak. Yes? That voice. He had heard it described-cool and low, aloof. Alison thought it a beautiful voice! Good God! Alison has doubtless told you something about me. Couldn't the voice convey more sarcasm? You're not .... I am. But I thought .... Yes, but I'm here. He wished he could see her face. The light from the room shone in his eyes. A You never expected to see me. As she said nothing he continued, No, you didn't need to! How absurd! You understandg understand me, Alison, life, everything! You are an artist! What a colorless thing the voice was! Did you come here to .... Did I come here to insult you? Yes, partly. Haven't I the right? I came because I .... Because I love Alison! Damn! Why had he said that? He didn't love her. . . . now. Will you come in? So good of you! Thanks. ...4 140 5... SToR1ES AINIID ESSAYS He followed her into the room where he saw her face for the first time. It was true, she wasn't good looking. Black untidy hair clipped close. A narrow white face. Thin lips twisted to a one-sided smile. The eyes .... calm, yet .... superficially so. He forced a laugh. Rather amusing, isn't it? Hardly that. She smiled. Both sides this time, but her lips remained pressed to- ggether. He looked about the room. It was what he had expected. Alison loved it! Pictures, -modern, esoteric things. An unfinished one on an easel, a messy, crude affair. Flung over a couch in the corner was a shawl, flashing, alive with color. He couldn't help ad- miring it. She offered him a cigarette which he refused, shortly after taking one from his own case. You were saying that you love Alison. Need she Hing that at him? Yes,-and hate you! But don't you see that Alison should never marry? Shouldn't marry me? Shouldn't marry anyone. You should be able to see that. I'm convinced that she has real ability. Ability that I would .... Ability that marriage would ruin. You can talk all you want to about not having fchildren and remaining free, but children have a habit of coming and freedom a habit of -disappearing. She smiled the twisted smile. Her talent would be wasted. Talent be damned! Ability for What? She hasn't a passion for painting any more than you have! It's all superficial, a pose! Something to hide behind! That's your hold -on her. You ,... Hold? She raised her eyebrows and smiled. ' Yes, hold! You know it! You know she would marry me if it wasn't for you! But I can't .... You're worse than I thought! I wouldn't object if it were simply a question of mar- riage. I wouldn't marry her now anyway. But she too is adopting a pose! You're poisoning her life with a philosophy that's a lie! You know it's a lie. It's the pose of a coward! At least we don't get all messed up about things we can't help. She moved across the Hoor to a chair. Won't you sit down? That's just it! You're afraid to take life seriously! He saw a smile start to creep up the Side of her face. Of course you smile! Seriousness is ridiculous! Everything is amusing! You wear a smock daubed with paint, cut your hair, and laugh at your own pictures! What do you mean, talent? But it's rather picturesque, don't you think? Picturesque! .... You refuse to live! Once upon a time the faith you were brought up with got a knock on the head. For once in your life you lived. There was no God! 'There was no life after death! You were serious then! You got messed up then! Life had lost its meaning, everything was chaos! You ran around for awhile trying to find out what it was all about, but couldn't. You were disillusioned-my! So you adopt this pose as something safe. Nothing matters, take nothing seriously, laugh at yourself and everyone else, lead a pretty, picturesque life. You've never grown out of that! You're ...4 141 5... I928 NORMAL GFFERING little more than the long-legged girl that ran around trying to find a meaning to life! A very cute analysis. Well, what's the answer? I sit humbly at your feet. I know there's no meaning to life! That isn't the point. Why don't you live? Get a passion for your painting, for something? Quit being afraid to feel! Be real, not a fake! Fill your life! ...... But I don't care what you do! I hope you continue your safe, smug pose, you who hate smugness! I can't wish you a hell of loneliness more horrible. What I object to is your preaching your lying gospel to the girl I love! l'You want her to become heroic along with you? I want her to be happy with or without me. Of course you don't mean that! She lit a cigarette with the stub of the one she had finished. What do you mean? She laughed. You want her to be happy though it make you miserable! Her happiness before your own! Really you might have stepped out of a movie! ' You think that people don't feel deeply or sincerely outside of a novel just because you don't! You've never loved, never suffered, never felt any real emotion! You're an artist! Ha! You don't even find joy in creation. It's amusing! You're a cheap fake! Easy, don't get excited. Sit downg it may help. Flames leaped through his mind. The distance between them disappeared. He felt the sting of her cheek beneath his hand. All strength ebbed from him. He sank into the chair from which she had leaped. As though through a mist he saw her standing over him, swaying slightly from side to side, tearing at her breast with talon-like hands. She choked, tried to say something, couldn't. Again she tried. You .... you .... you fool! You think that I .... that I haven't. . . . She stopped, let her arms drop to her side. Suddenly she seemed calm again. Fascin- ated, he watched the corner of her mouth being drawn upward by the muscles of her cheek, Slowly she turned her back and walked across to the chair she had offered him. Pictures, chairs, the table, all were obliterated. Only that woman and himself, and a terrible silence remained. He felt he would never be able to move again, but would have always to sit with his eyes fastened on that woman's face. If only she wouldn't smile! Neither moved. Like a tableau of death they sat, staring into each other's eyes .... A knock on the door nearly started him out of his chair. Silence Hooded down imme- diately. He watched her turn her head away. A pressure seemed removed from his face when she turned her eyes toward the door. Watching her lips he heard the words, Come in. Austin! At last! Released! His eyes moved swiftly from that woman's face. Alison! What are you doing here? What's the matter? Your boy friend has been giving me a lecture. He's resting nowg don't disturb him. But I don't understand. Austin, how did you get here? What did you come for? Why didn't you call for me? I came ...... I came. . . . Why had he come? He didn't know. Nobody knew. . ...Q 142 5... STORIES AND ESSAYS He came to see me, because he thinks I influenced you not to marry him. He thinks I have some sort of absurd hold over you, and objects to my contaminating your life with a lying gospel of indifference. He tried to convert me to his own philosophy of self sacrifice, but doubtless you have heard of that. Yes, that's all I have heard, interspersed with a few 'I love you's.' She turned on him. You fool! I just mailed a letter asking you to forgive me for my last one! You idiot, worshiper of the full life, do you think I would have married you even if I hadn't met Georgia? Egoist! Do you think Iwould give up painting for you and messy, sticky children and a smug, complacent home? It's over! Do you understand? Over! Over! . . . .The only thing I regret. . . .no, I regret nothingl. . . .Why don't you go? He sat staring at her as though he hadheard no word she said. Then slowly he rose and walked toward her. Stopping a moment in the center of the room, he looked with his expressionless eyes into her burning ones, then sluggishly turned away and left the room, softly closing the door behind him. E NORMAN R. HUNT H WAITING FOR SPRING It happens that way every year. I start out in the morning a perfectly normal, well- balanced person, but somewhere between the going and the coming all this sanity drops from me. I think it must be the wind that does it, there is something about the wind in early March that is ineffably sweet and warm. It penetrates the clothing, the body, it goes through us, Qnot around us as do the earlier windsj until we can understand how a ghost feels when he is able to pass through the realities of the world without resistance. There is something unreal about the walks, too, for if I turn suddenly I see a Hash of color that must be tulips and narcissi hurrying around the corner. Sometimes I wait there for them to come back, but after a while the wind cools and starts humming a brisk military tune, and I go back to the house to wait, by the fire, for Spring.
