l930 NORMAL OFFERING u . r i N President . . Francis Kilgrew V'ce-P e 'dent . . M r B l Secretair5!Treasurer . . Beriflhiai Rgiifvahie History In the fall of 1926, two momentous things occurred in the history of Bridgewater Normal School: the new school building was completed and dedicated, and the present A class entered. Of course, everyone realized the significance of the first event, but few indeed were the seers who could foretell what heights of glory the bewildered D's would attain. Least of all, the D's! All our benumbed brains could do was to absorb as much as possible of biology, drawing, history, and physiography. We made such progress in these that by the end of the year our ability in scholastic work was universally acknowledged. We were coming into the limelight! . The next fall, with divisions reorganized, we began our second brilliant year at Bridge- water. This year some division of our class was out training every term. With scholar- ship acknowledged, this year brought about the achievement of leadership in athletic activity. The men displayed ability in soccer, and the women captured all prizes at the gym meet. , How important we were when we arrived back for our third year! We were fated to be disorganized again this year, for three divisions of the class had another attempt at practice teaching. However, we managed to lay the foundations of our reputation for vim and pep by giving our Snow Carnival in December, and to develop the brother and sister idea which distinguishes our class. How sad we were when some of our sisters joined the teaching ranks in June. In our last year, we justified the hopes aroused by our achievements as freshmen, sopho- mores, and juniors. In athletics we continued to leadg our scholarship was unquestioned. Soc. and Psychy and History of Ed.! Why, we thrived on them! Our members led in school activities, and our vim and pep just couldr1't be restrained. Who of us can forget our barn dance, or our bridge parties? Fun? Yes. And cementers of friendship, too, making our life at Normal a bright period that we shall always remember. BERTHA REVANE 12
