CLASSES MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN Cottage Street, Marion. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Head of Track and Field 3, President 4. Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4. Basketball 1, 2, 4. Baseball 2, 3. Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4. Such let me seem ' til such I be. When you ' re trying to locate a startling giggle sometimes heard in A classes, look for that golden landmark, Mary ' s head. But be not surprised to find that the originator of such mirth is equally at home on the hockey field, on the basketball court, or within the sacred portals of the gym at social time — and always as the leader of a group. MACCABEAH ARENBERG Rochester. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4, Hockey 2. Gar- den Club 1, 2, 3, 4, Vice-Pres. 3. Hobby Club 3, 4. Kindergarten-Primary Club 3. She opens her mouth with wisdom; and the law of kindness is on her tongue. Among Maccabeah ' s calm enthusiasms is a joy in growing things. Her closeness to the earth has given her a homely sweetness which shyness and modesty have kept from most people. But those who know her well find in her a true friend. FLORENCE GENEVA BAKER 17 Elm Street, Brookline. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3. Garden Club 1, 2, 3, 4. Class Representative 4. Student Council 4. It is a friendly heart that has plenty of friends. A big smile — a little person — a big heart — a little serious- ness — a big reserve of ingenuity — a little dash of spicy wit. Who? Florence. 15

1933 ALPHA 1 4IM 1 iLMIOkb £ 1 IIP ' 1 NhJJI ' M s ' ZZZ J m President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Clifford Johnson Ruth Glidden Louise Hewitt Marie Sarson Senior History September 1929 .... Freshmen — laden with Wright and Ditson boxes; shivering in angel robes, struggling with locker combinations. Naively gay. September 1930 .... Sophomores — crossing the quadrangle loaded with couch covers and lampshades; strutting, gesticulating, modulating. Dramatically cynical. September 1931 .... Juniors — burdened with committees; equipping, scoring, banqueting. Briskly efficient. September 1932 .... Seniors — staggering under the weight of the Variorum Shakes- peare; clogging; posing; promming. Calmly poised. All these have the class of ' 33 survived. And more, it has lived experiences uniquely its own. Bridgewater ' s first Junior Prom shone in its star-spangled blueness for the class of ' 33. During the seniority of the class came the change the name fever. Ably its members supervised the transition from Normal Offering to Alpha , the new yearbook cover design, the creation of the new seal. At Christmas, in accordance with custom, the class sold cards; but its members flavored custom with a dash of differentness. They created and sold original, hand-blocked cards of modern design. On Class Day the seniors again fused differentness with tradition. Like their pre- decessors they presented tableaux; unlike them they designed their own sets. The Class of ' 33 was the first to meet the question of cap and gown versus the velvet drape as atmosphere for the year book pictures. And on the night of June 9th, from 9 until 2, Senior Prom. 14

More things are wrought in prayer than this world dreams of — Could anyone find a more devout, serious-minded girl than Leo ? Could anyone find a person of franker opinion than she? Could anyone find a more ready partner in jokes and laughter? In such varying moods do we know Leo. HELEN MADELINE BARKER 84 North Main Street, Leominster. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4, Baseball 1, 2, Hockey 1, Bowling 1, 2, 3, 4, Soccer 2. Camera Club 3, 4, Hobby Club 3. Scouts 1, 2, 3, 4. Kindergarten-Primary Club 3, 4. Say not that she did well or ill Only, ' She did her best ' . Helen is a tall, slender, and fair-haired, which doesn ' t mean that she is languid. On the contrary her most out- standing characteristic is industriousness. Helen plays and works with enthusiasm. Would that we were imbued with her spirit of helpfulness! AGNES VERONICA BARRY 327 Cedar Street, New Bedford. W. A. A. 4. Hail to thee, blythe spirit. Beneath her quiet exterior, Agnes conceals a spirit of fun, and is it a devil-may-care air? As it is her first year at Bridge- water, after attending Fitchburg, we have not become as well acquainted with her as we wished. That constant twinkle in her eye impresses even the inastute observer. 16
