A - . ' K 4hfaJL ALPHA 1934 PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE BRID6EWATER - MASSACHUSETTS VOLUME NO. XXXVI Dedication to ZENOS EDMUND SCOTT, B. S., A. M., D. Pd. An idealist who keeps his feet on the ground; a leader who inspires us to reach for the best in life while teaching us how to work for it. Welcome, Dr. Scott. DR. ZENOS EDMUND SCOTT To the Members of the Class of 1934 It has been a great pleasure to me to become acquainted with the individual members of your class during your last year in college. Your teachers have watched your growth with a better understanding than I because they have taught you, and worthily. However, I have been sincerely interested in your general and professional welfare. At the end of this my first year as president of the college, I am devoted to the high cause of the professional education of teachers as exem- plified in the work of the college. In accepting this important professional position I ex- perienced a real sense of the responsibility, and a keen under- standing of the opportunity offered for educational service. For several years I had known of the Bridgewater traditions and accomplishments. Now that I have worked a year in close touch with the life of the student body and the faculty I begin to feel myself a part of the institution. You are now graduates of a college. You are now dedicating yourselves to the teaching profession. In giving this short message to the members of your class it is appropriate for me to join with you in dedicating my best efforts and my honest zeal to the progress of our profession and our college. During the years you have spent in college you have in- creased in knowledge; you have learned much about how to teach others; you have made a start in the philosophy of life and a beginning in the philosophy of an educated man or woman. I sincerely trust that each member of the class of 1934 may become that more adaptable individual to the end that he may serve highly and with enthusiasm.

Margaret Molloy Secretary Esther Lindberg Treasurer Barbara Dix Four years! Is it possible? How long, and yet how short! Hush! I hear sounds of pitch pipes and gym whistles I see girls many, many girls preparing what? oh, yes fresh- man teas So much artistic, dramatic, and musical ability required of ordinary human beings! Heartbreaking! Sophomore year with its first taste of actual teaching. Training School Projects (The password, the by-word, the catch-word) Projects in history, in methods, in everything else, it seemed Well, if others had lived through it, we guessed we could, too. And we did bravely. The Dancing Sophomores showed signs of growth. Junioryear so short a time spent together. We hardly had time to tell each other about the school in which I trained .... B. N. S. changed to B. T. C The passing of our beloved leader Just think, next year we ' ll be daisy-chained! And Senior year with its staccato pattern of activities Gay hand-blocked Christmas cards Photographs strips of comic snaps to exchange and laugh over .... sweet and dignified pictures for remembrance. Senior Prom Class Day Graduation Goodbye! Good luck! 12 CLASSES HELEN ABBOTT 236 West Street, Gardner. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Head of Volleyball 4. Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4. Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4. Baseball 1, 2, 3. Volleyball 1, 2, 3. Soccer 1, 2, 3. Bowling 3, 4. Scouts 1,2. Glee Club 2, 3, 4. Of soul sincere, In action faithful, and in honor clean. To see her run down the field you would be sure her only desire was to be a star athlete. To see her in the throes of poetic composition you would say poetic fame was her only goal. But should you see her on the way home you would say certainly her aim was smart sophistication. In each case you would be wrong, for Helen ' s great enthusiasm forces her to do well what- ever she does. DOROTHY MAY ALEXANDER 214 Pine Street, Holyoke. Hobby Club 2, 3, 4, Vice President 3. Scouts 1, 2. Dramatic Club 4. Garden Club 3. Dormitory Council 1. Her gesture, motion, and her smile, Her wit, her voice, our hearts beguile. Pep, vim, and giggles! That ' s Dot. Whenever you wish a good time, visit room 46. Leave your scowls and frowns behind you, for Dot will not tolerate them. They do things to her. The audience is never bored whether Dot is portraying a mere elm tree rustling in the breeze or the distinguished Mrs. De Hooley— accent on the Hoo. AGNES ELIZABETH ALM 124 Tremont Street, Taunton. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Head of Tenniquoit 3. French Club 1. Day Student Council 3. Class Representative 3. Student Council 3. Topics of the Day 3. Knowledge comes but wisdom lingers. A tense silence; no one knows the answer. A life- saver— and quite often the answer is not from the text- book but from clear thinking. A merry din— one high laugh above the rest — the instigator, Agnes, in the second of her dual role. ikff k 13 1934 ALPHA OLGA ANDERSON Townsend Harbor. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Tenniquoit 2. French Club 2, 3, 4, Secretary 4. Topics of the Day 3, 4. Dormitory Council 4. Vice-President of Normal Hall 4. Social Activities Committee 4. True delicacy, that most beautiful heart leaf of humanity, Exhibits itself most significantly in little things. At lastwe havefound out who entertains Mr. Webster. Olga has become an authority on correct pronunciation. Was it in pure self-preservation? As an avocation we wouldn ' t be surprised to hear of the foundation of an Anderson Museum in Groton where Olga could preserve her beloved lanterns, spinning wheels, dinner gongs, St. Bernard puppies, and beautiful books. MADELINE BEACH 56 Warren Street, West Springfield. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3,4. Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4. Sometimes serious — sometimes gay, How lovable a changeable way. A grin— a smile— then dimples! A muse— a sigh- then frowns! Which will it be today? Ah, ' tis true we ' ll never know the answer. That ' s what makes it interesting! But of this we are certain: Madeline is a steady, sincere friend as well as a dimpling and lovable rogue! EVELYN GERTRUDE BEANE 223 Grafton Street, Brockton. Student Council 2, 3. Class Representative 2, 3. W. A. A. 1 , 2, 3, 4. Head of Tenniquoit 3. Hockey 1, 2, 3. Baseball 1, 2. Tennis 1. Basketball 1, 2. Bad minton 2. Campus Comment 1. I never knew her loveliness Until she smiled on me. Ev delights to discourse for hours on art or clothes but don ' t go into detail on the merits of your relatives! The only thing which can be depended upon to upset her permanent good nature is the thought of a possible Geog test. Butwhy should it? Evelyn has overcome greater difficulties than that. 14 CLASSES ETHEL MAY BEEDE 41 Cawdrey Avenue, East Lynn. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Girl Scouts 1, 2. Topics of the Day 3. Vice President of Gates House 3. Dormitory Council 3. Social Ac- tivities Committee 3. Garden Club 3, 4. Science Club 4. Words, phrases, fashions pass away, But truth and nature live through all. Shhhh--- Beede Bumps is sleeping (and I ' ll wager she ' s dreaming of math or bugs )! Never mind, Ethel, when you ' re awake, your sincerity and unusual sense of humor attract and hold us. May all your dreams materialize! EVA CECELIA BERNIER 143 Bridge Street, North Weymouth. Orchestra 2, 3, 4. It was you cast over me the spell of music. Eva plays and Eva sings and is ever ready for fun. But we have also observed a well-worn brief case which bears mute evidence of a different Eva. SYLVIA ANN BIANCHI 220 Liberty Street, Quincy. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3. French Club 1, 2, 3, 4, Librarian 2. Basketball 3. Soccer 1. Baseball 1. Dancing 3. Tennis 1. She lives on the sunny side and she would have all of us come over there with her. A laugh, a song, a twinkling eye, a flash of red, all make up that dynamic personality—Sylvia. Bracelets and earrings, gay handkerchiefs and chic hand bags speak of Sylvia ' s vivid self. 15 1934 ALPHA PHYLLIS E. BLISS 4 Swindells Street, Fall River. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Basketball 1, 2. Baseball 1. Tennis 1. Soccer 2. Volleyball 2. Hockey 1. Glee Club 1, 2, 3, Librarian 2. Choir 3. With her glad golden hair As airy and blithe as a blithe bird in air. One of three from the first, the Porthos of the group, Phyllis has inevitably been identified with good time and jollity. She looks the part. But then the smile fades and Phyllis is trying hard to be studious. She succeeds wonderfully but we are always happy when the assignments are finished and she can be natural. MILDRED CATHERINE BOUCHER 36 Vaillencourt Street, Taunton. W. A. A. 2, 3, 4. French Club 2, 3, 4, Treasurer 4. Sometimes quiet is an unquiet thing. We hate to accuse Mildred of being miserly but we suspect a hoard of wit hidden under a quiet exterior. Do you know why? She reveals it to a few friends who retail it to us and thus we are amused without knowing the source. MILDRED KATHRYN BOWMAN 82 South Main Street, Middleboro. W. A. A. 2, 3, 4. Day Student Council 3. Library Club 4. A little bit of seriousness Mixed with a dash of fun. Mildred ' s idea of a throne is a desk chair in the lib- rary, and of heaven a request from a timid student. On the throne she feeds her love of books and work, and in heaven her desire to be of service. 16 CLASSES OLIVE COMPTON P. BRITTAN 7 Parker Street, Newton Centre. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4, Recording Secretary 4. Hockey 1 , 2, 3, 4. Basketball 3,4. Bowling 2, 3. Baseball 2, 3. Volleyball 2. Social Activities Committee 4. Girl Scouts 1, 2, 3, 4, Vice President 2, 3, President 4. A friend she is who sets her heart upon us, Is happy with us and delights in us. Olive is the unusual person who lives her beliefs. Her devotion to scouting and her exemplification of its laws have been evidenced not only by her splendid work in that field but also in whatever she has under- taken in a social or academic way. HARRIET HILL BROWN 13 Sagamore Street, Lynn. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4, Board 3. Social Activities Committee 2. President of Gates 3. Dormitory Council 2, 3. Girl Scouts 1, 2. Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4. Basketball 1, 2, 4. Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4. Danc- ing 4. To those who know thee not, no words can paint! And those who know thee, know all words are faint! Why is Harriet ' s room always crowded? Because Hat can play ball with her athletic friends, enthuse with her artistic friends, dance with her social friends, and be happy with them all. MADELINE GERTRUDE CASWELL 26 Jackson Street, Middleboro. Day Student Coun- cil 1. Alpha Art Staff 2, 3, 4, Art Editor 3. Hobby Club 3, 4. Secretary of Culture Fund Committee 4. French Club 4. Class Representative 4. W. A. A. 4. Student Council 4. She perceiveth that her merchandise is good; Her candle goeth not out by night. A leader with high ideals, intelligent application to tasks, and persistance in the pursuit of well-considered objectives, Madeline ' s interests and abilities are many and varied, extending to languages, music, literature, dramatics, history, and art. Her dignity, envied by all, reflects her strength of character. 17 1934 ALPHA DORIS BUFFINTON CLARNER Buffi nton Street, Somerset. W. A. A. 1 , 2, 3, 4, Treas- , urer4. Dancing1,2. Hockey 2. Bowling 2, 3. Volley- ball 2. Baseball 2. Garden Club 2, 3, 4. Scouts 1, 2. Glee Club 2, 3, 4. Choir 2, 3, 4. Orchestra 3, 4, Librarian 4. Forever piping songs forever new. Even though changeable people may be interesting, unchangeable people are more comfortable. Reliabil- ity seems to be one of Doris ' most endearing qualities. Her unceasing interest in all forms of music, her love for symphonies, concerts, and clarinets are unbounded. PRISCILLA HOWLAND COLEMAN 30 Hussey Street, Nantucket. Glee Club 3, 4. Choir 4. Dormitory Council 3. House Board 3. Alpha 4. W. A. A. 4. Comrade of the ocean, playmate of the hills. Her sea-walled island seems to have contributed great and lovely qualities to Priscilla, for although she is small, she commands attention by her dignity, which we style one of her greatest assets. Gentlemen, at last here is a girl who speaks only if she has something to say. HELEN MARY CONNELL Hersey Street, Hingham. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Bowl- ing 1. Hobby Club 4. Scouts 1, 2, 3, 4. Eyes too expressive to be blue Too lovely to be gray. Needing only the slightest provocation to absent herself from the atmosphere of study and contempla- tion, Helen is always eager to obey her frequent im- pulses to relax. Moreover, she has the faculty of unit- ing the serious with the gay. For, gifted with a fine perception of truth, Helen is most capable of imparting opinions well worth hearing. 18 CLASSES MARY ELIZABETH CROWLEY 51 Ninth Avenue, Haverhill. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4, Secretary 3, 4. Garden Club 1, 2, 3. Vice President 3, Topics of the Day 3, 4. Hockey 1,2, 3. Basketball 2, 3, 4. Dancing 2, 3, 4. With thy clear keen joyance Languor cannot be. Here ' s to Mary, possessor of a spontaneous and de- lightful wit which gives some hint of her inherent cleverness. When Mary ' s pensive, she possesses an elusive quality that is a diverting contrast to her gaiety. MARY ANGELA CULLEN 55 Prospect Street, Fall River. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Soccer 1, 2. Baseball 1, 2. Basketball 1, 2, 3. Volley- balM,2,3. Hockey1,2,3. Library Club 1, 2, 3. Alpha Class Editor 4. Alpha Literary Editor 4. True to her work, her word, and her friends. Mary and kindness are utterly inseparable. She shares her lunch, her ability, or happiness impartially. And it ' s fortunate that Mary needs so little time for study for she demands a great deal for fun. GRACE CURLEY 83 North Central Street, East Bridgewater. Topics of the Day 3. Alpha Class Editor 1, 2, Literary Editor 3, Editor-in-chief 4. As what she seemed to be, she was, Alike to all, herself, sincere and true. When Grace realizes her ambition to write a book, we hope it won ' t be on the modern novel or Victorian poetry which she delves into with equal enthusiasm, but on correct etiquette for college students which she has so unknowingly imparted to us. 19 1934 ALPHA ELDORA ROSEANNA DARCHE W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Topics 20 Hazel Street, Brockton, of the Day 3, 4. Thou art swift and eager and blithe as a flame of fire, Before thee the laughter, behind thee new worlds of. desire. Eldora is a girl of many moods varying from laughter to sadness. Few in the class have been better students than she and few have there been who could see more quickly the humor of a situation. From the French comes Eldora ' s vivaciousness; from the Americans, her patient ambition. GLADYS ARSEN DAVIDIAN 36 Parker Street, New Bedford. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Alpha Class Editor 3. Dormitory Council 3. She dwelt among the untrodden ways. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing but in Gladys ' case a little knowledge of her and her wide interests made us wish for more. EVELYN DAVIS Wellesley Farms. Topics of the Day 2, 3, 4, Vice President 3, 4. W. A. A. 4. Bowling 4. My heart is like a rainbow shell That paddles in a halcyon sea. Her changing moods never let those who know her best take her for granted. Now carefree, then serious, now warm ly impetuous, again cool and detached, but always sympathetic, considerate, and loyal. 20 CLASSES MARION MIDDLETON DEPLITCH 366 Hood Street, Fall River. W. A. A. 1 , 2, 3, 4. Basket- ball 1, 2, 3. Volleyball 2, 3. Tennis 1. Soccer 3. Baseball 1, 2, 3. Hockey 1, 2. But O! she dances such a way No sun upon an Easter day Is half so fine a sight! Wanted: Someone who is sophisticated but can be natural — who is peppy but can enjoy a sleep— who is athletic but still has an elusive charm— who does her work but manages to enjoy life. P. S. Marion got the job. BARBARA DIX 94 Beech Street, Melrose. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Soccer 4. Bowling 3,4. Tennis 1. Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4. Librarian 3. Class Treasurer 4. Not very tall, not very small But sweet and fair and liked by all. Barbara ' s lovely hair typifies her personality. Its graceful waves are repeated in her gentle manners, its smoothness is the evenness of her disposition, and the occasional golden light in it is the reflection of her mood when she discovers some appreciated bit of poetry or fine bit of music. JEANNE DOUVILLE, A. B. 70 Hazel Street, Attleboro. Club 4. W. A. A. 4. French Club 4. Hobby A lovely smile, a pleasant way, A sunbeam on a winter ' s day. Integrated in this most fascinating and vital per- sonality are the admirable qualities of deep insight, precision, and determination. To Emmanuel we are indebted for Jeanne. 21 1934 ALPHA POLLY VERONICA DREVINSKY 14 Lane Street, Middleboro. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Soc- cer 2. G lee Club 1, 2, 3, 4, Librarian 2, President 3,4, Student Director 3, 4. Pro and Con 1 , 2. Topics of the Day 3, 4. That lifts thy notes from Shepherdes unto kinges So like the lively Larke that mounting singes. Impossible to even think of Polly without thinking of her music. For with her fine voice Polly gives us relief from humdrum reality. But let ' s not forget her as a rollicking good comrade and a busy student. ELIZABETH WHIPPLE DUNLAVY 190 Pine Street, Wollaston. W. A. A. 2, 3, 4. Dancing 3, 4. Bowling 4. Art Board of Alpha 3. Topics of the Day 3, 4. Student Council 4. Her heart was in her work, and the heart Giveth grace unto every art. Libby is forever getting paint on her hands and face, not because she ' s careless — oh, no, she ' s painting Venetian seas for prom decorations, block-printing Christmas cards, or designing lovely book covers. And we sometimes wonder whether Libby has to burn the midnight oil to be able to make such clever geog answers or whether they come as naturally as her piercing shrieks. BERTHA DYMOWSKA 20 Rector Road, Mattapan. Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4, Song Leader 4. Choir 3, 4. Dormitory Council 1, 2, 4. Junior Representative 1. Proctor at Normal Hall 2, 4. Girl Scouts 1.

Bertha is a dual personality the serene and smiling young lady whose composure we all envy; and the other, an ambitious individual who has planned a home after the salon of Madame Rumboixllet where she hopes to entertain prominent artists, literary leaders, and philosophers. To know Bertha is to love her! 22 CLASSES ALICE LOUISE FENTON 155 School Street, Taunton. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Base- ball 2. Soccer 2. Volleyball 2. Day Student Council 2, Vice President 3, President 4. Student Council 4. Social Activities Committee 3. Serene and resolute and still And calm and self possessed. Alice, how could you? How could you be so effi- cient, capable, sagacious and still so human? Fresh- man and senior alike feel the warmth of your friend- liness. RUTH KNIGHT FERRIS 33 Cowdrey Avenue, East Lynn. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Girl Scouts 1, 2. Glee Club 3, 4. French Club 3, 4. Dormitory Council 1, 2, 4. President 4. Vice Presi- dent of Gates House 2. Social Activities Committee 2. Student Council 3, 4. Class Representative 3. Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4. Hockey 2, 3, 4. He is truly great that is little in himself and that maketh no account of any height of honor. Ruth has lived these four years to the fullest extent by enthusiastically participating in every type of ac- tivity. We have seen her uphold loyally the ideals of the college in her leadership of dormitory students, work conscientiously in club affairs, and at the same time enter into the college sports program with un- usual vitality. MIRIAM DORIS FISHER 113 North Central Street, East Bridgewater. Day Student Council 1. Student Council 3, 4. Class Representative 3, 4. Topics of the Day Club 3. And on that cheek and o ' er that brow The smile that wins, the tints that glow. And then she blushed. Oh, heaven, her blushing! It is hard to imagine our businesslike yet withal non- chalant class representative as a blusher but this naivette may be one means by which she does so much, so well. 23 1934 ALPHA VIRGINIA ALICE FORD 542 Liberty Street, Rockland. W. A. A. 2, 3, 4. Soc- cer 1. Campus Comment 3. Topics of the Day 3, 4. Blue eyes lit up With summer lightnings of a soul So full of summer warmth. Searching blue eyes in an intelligent face. Search- ing for what? We would guess knowledge of the why ' s when ' s and wherefore ' s. Have you found out the why ' s of lost articles yet, Ginny? BESSIE FREITAS 61 Capitol Street, New Bedford. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Baseball 1, 2. Bowling 4. Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4. Basket- ball 1,2, 3, 4. Tennis 1, 2, 3, 4. Topics of the Day 2, 3. Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4. Choir 2, 3, 4. Sports Editor of Campus Comment 4. Dormitory Council 2. variable as the shade By the light quivering aspen made. She is a representation of enthusiasm plus, and is ever bubbling over with good spirits and fun. Look at those notebook covers strained to the limit with clippings and proofs of her own journalistic ability. But Bessie doesn ' t spend all her time on these volumin- ous notebooks. Oh, no! Athletics, dances, conver- sation, and friends receive equal amounts of her en- thusiastic attention. LUCIENNE JEANNE EVA GALIPEAU 513 Bay Street, Taunton. W. A. A. 4. Division Rep- resentative to Normal Offering 1. Campus Comment 3, 4, Reporter 3, News Editor 4. Hobby Club 3, 4. French Club 2, 3, 4, Librarian 3, President 4. Soc- cer 1, 2, 3. Hockey 4. Basketball 3. With affection beaming out of one eye and calculation out of the other. If you want something done perfectly and on time — ask Lucy to do it. She has time for everything; whether it is leading le Cercle Francais through a Mardi Gras year, reading the latest book, or taking a trip to Mon- treal. 24 CLASSES GLENDA GAVIN 100 North Street, Randolph. W. A. A. 4. Hockey 1. Dancing 3. Day Student Council 1. Topics of the Day 3, 4. Of her bright face one glance will trace a picture on the brain And of her voice in echoing hearts a sound must long remain. Nothing ever ruffles the calm of Glenda ' s spirit— not even last minute notebook rushes. How describe her?— sometimes gay, sometimes thoughtful— always stylish, always friendly. An intriguing combination of lovable qualities is Glenda. ALICE GILL 1809 Rodney French Boulevard, New Bedford. She is pretty to walk with Anal witty to talk with And pleasant, too, to think on. We do wish summer would stay the year round be- cause Alice says I ' m frozen from November to May. We should think her grin (it ' s not a mere smile) would thaw her; it does us. New to Bridgewater this year, Alice has proven to us that she is a convincingly real girl. EDITH ALTHEA GILLEN West Main Street, Merrimac. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Scouts 1, 2, 4. Garden Club 3, 4. Topics of the Day 3.4. There is a garden in her face Where roses and white lilies blow. The carefree side of college life has appealed to Edith and even difficult assignments cannot subdue her in- fectious giggles. Edith concentrates on her studies during the week that she may be ready to leave if the opportunity comes to journey to Merrimac for the week-end. 25 1934 ALPHA ANNA ELIZABETH GINNETTY 58 Plain Street, Randolph. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Topics of the Day 3, 4. Hobby Club 4. Alpha 3, 4. Day Student Council 4. Hockey 1,2. Dancing 1, 2, 3. The reason firm, the temperate will, Endurance, foresight, strength, and skill. Steel under velvet best describes Anna. Yielding and adaptable when it is no great point yet holding closely to her own individuality when her theories and ideals are questioned. Never to be forgotten, not be- cause of one great kindness but because of many un- heralded ones. ELOIS GODFREY 50 Shaw Road, Bridgewater. W. A. A. 1 , 2, 3, 4. Head of Volleyball 3. Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4. Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4. Basketball 1, 2. Scouts 1, 2. Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4. Choir 1, 2, 3, 4. K. P. Club 2, 3, 4, Vice President 3, President 4. True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it be lost. Babe seems a terribly inappropriate name for the young lady intensly interested in the kindergarten movement or the appealing singer, but Babe to us is fine for a grand comrade. JEANNETTE HAWES 590 Broad Street, East Weymouth. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3. Topics of the Day 2, 3. Make the most of life you may — Life is short and wears away. To see Jeannette riding in a rumble seat during the coldest weather you would think her devotion to school perfect, but we know better. Happy-go-lucky Jeannette would find a niche for herself anywhere. 26 CLASSES GUNVOR HENRIKSEN 57 Grove Street, Milton. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Head of Soccer 3, Soccer 1, 2, 3, 4. Dancing 1, 2. Garden Club 1. Topics of the Day 3. Dormitory Council 2. Student Cooperative Association Treasurer 4. Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4, Secretary 3, Business Manager 2, 3. Who can be wise, amazed, temperate, and furious in a moment. When Gunny is serious she is efficiency plus but when she is relaxed she ' s the entertainer supreme. It ' s hard to believe two such extremes of one person but the transformation is easily made and Gunvor knows which Gunny to keep in the foreground. RUTH HENRY 19 Endicott Street, Waltham. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3. Base- ball 1, 2, 3. Basketball 1, 2, 3. Hockey 1, 2. Soccer 1, 2. Volleyball 1, 2, 3, 4. Tennis 1. Topics of the Day 3, 4, Vice-President 3, President 3, 4. Campus Comment 1. Though we cannot make our sun stand still, yet we will make him rise. We truly believe Ruth loves to work. True happiness to her means accomplishment. And is she in demand the night before a dance? Ask any dormitory girl who is cursed with straight hair and she ' ll tell you how popular and efficient Ruth is. DOROTHY HIXON 4 Summit Avenue, Melrose Highlands. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Dormitory Council 2. Orchestra 1. Drama- tic Club 2, 3, 4. Student Council 1, 2, 3, 4. Class Representative 1 , 2. Secretary 2, 3. Vice-President 4. Take thee these talents, and make the most of them. Because of her ability to organize and to run dances and teas very successfully, and to participate in the art of drama whether as the landlady of a boarding house or as a hero, we dare predict anything but a prosaic future for Dot. 27 1934 ALPHA ALICE MARIE HOMER 19 Clinton Avenue, Brockton. W. A. A. 1, 3, 4. Bas- ketball 1. Soccer 2. Dancing 2, 3. Library Club 3, 4. Topics of the Day 3, 4. She ' s little but she ' s wise; She ' s a terror for her size. Christmas won ' t be Christmas without any pres- ents says Alice as Amy in Little Women . We can ' t see how anyone could refuse Alice anything. But for all her youthfulness, Alice has gone a long way towards appreciating that life goes on even under heavy assign- ments and term tests, and her high spirits are never more than momentarily dimmed. LOUISE MARY HOUGH 72 Franklin Street, South Braintree. We grant although she has much wit, She is very shy of using it. Life without variety bores Louise so it is not surpris- ing to find her in many of the Junior High courses here, although she came only two years ago from the Lesley Kindergarten School. Her easy manner will be an asset no matter which field she enters. HELENE DOLORES JOHNSON 66 Hamilton Street, Wollaston. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3. Dancing 1. Hockey 1, 2, 3. French Club 1, 2, 3, 4. Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4. A dancing shape, an image gay To haunt, to startle, and waylay. Through school our petite Helene has dipped into many interests from music to hockey — missing little of the spice of campus life. Having once graduated she could not quite decide to leave forever and came back for her degree. Professorship is the only thing left now, Helene. 28 CLASSES MARIE CATHERINE JOHNSON 10 Brook Road, Quincy. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Science Club 3, 4, Vice President 4. Dancing 2, 3, 4. Track 1, 2. Bowling 2, 3, 4. I have marked a thousand blushing apparitions To start into her face. We ordinary mortals marvel at Marie ' s cool and sure attack of anything savoring of the mathematical. A slight reserve may hide some of her sterling qualities but how much is there for those who find the natural Marie. FRANCES KELLY 3 Newbury Street, Roslindale. And for they looked but with divining eyes They had not skill enough your worth to sing. Two of the silly, friendly things which we shall re- member about Frances are her sleepiness and her mul- titudinous fountain pens. A pen to go with every costume and a nap in every class took Frances serenely through college. The pens denote the student and the handkerchiefs the artist of one very swell person.

Not to be understood by, but to understand — charac- terizes this extremely demure but never miss any- thing girl. Through everything penetrates herability and popularity. On Third Floor Back many of her friends were very much surprised at her unexpected musical ability at the piano. It was just another one of those surprises creeping through the surface of Kimmie ' s personality. 29 1934 ALPHA GRACE LOUISE KNOX 29 Maple Street, Easthampton.

Someday, surely, Grace will be an executive. From her alert eye to her firm stride she is the living proof of the power of health and energy. However, the great- est men have their soft spots and if you would catch a glimpseof herasa helpless bit of femininity, just men- tion the word mouse. RUTH KOSS 77 Edgewater Drive, Quincy.

Ask her about a new novel or the latest scienti- fic theory, and she will never be at loss for an answer. Her pet hobby of asking questions is one source of her knowledge, and another is the contacts she makes in her diverse club activities. CAROLYN LARCHER 356 High Street, Wsbstsr. Gles Club 1, 2, 3, 4. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Choir 4. Hockey 1. And all that ' s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes. To accurately gauge Carolyn ' s feelings, one must study the varying aspects of her eyes. Watch them sparkle and laugh when she is with a group of friends, hiking, singing, reading poetry, or just talking. Then, start to argue, be sarcastic, or merely mention trains and you ' ll witness a display of snapping blackness and darting yellow lights which her friends heed as storm warnings. But there ' s more brightness than darkness in everyday living with Carolyn. 30 CLASSES ELIZABETH LEARY 154 Hanover Street, Fall River. Hobby Club 1, 2. Girl Scouts 1. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Dormitory Council 4. It ' s good to be merry and wise; It ' s good to be honest and true. A tall, trim, youthful blonde, with an unquenchable spark of enthusiasm— that ' s Betty. As everyone likes and excels in certain subjects, so does Betty, especially in appreciation of art. All her own cares and those of her friends are met and smoothed by a frank, contagious smile. MARIE CATHERINE LEONARD 22 Barry Street, Brockton. Afar from me be useless fears; I shall go softly all my years. Marie goes softly in her unassuming way. But all recognize the kindness and generous friendliness which is hers. Ambitious and conscientious, serious but not without humor — this is Marie whom we welcomed as a new student last year. MARY LEVERING 138 Boylston Street, Brockton. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Science Club 1, 2, 3, 4. Library Club 4. The soul that warmed the frame distained The tinsel gaud and glare that reigned. Blue-black hair and tan skin may be what she wants, but we like her as she is— titian-haired and blue-eyed. Her interests vary from liking Scottie dogs with plaid collars to being near the ocean in a storm. Her un- usual serenity is disturbed by insincere people, freckles (wonder why?), caterpillars, and lesson plans. By the way, do you want the name of the most recent poetry book? Ask Mary. 31 1934 ALPHA ELLA KENWORTHY LEWIS Riverside Avenue, Pottersvi lie. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3. Gar- den Club 2, 3. Hobby Club 2, 3. Bowling 2, 3, 4. Head of Bowling 3. Head of Tennis 2. Dancing 1,2.

Wherever you find Ella, there is surely something doing, for she is not one to let time pass idly by. What are we ever going to do when Ella is not with us to think of the unconventional and unique? Ella is as modern as the newest of stream line cars and as striking as a black tree against a crimson sunset. s iisiliW . ■■ EVELYN SHIRLEY LINCOLN 263 Plain Street, Brockton. Kindergarten-Primary Club 2, 3, 4. Hark! the numbers soft and clear, Gently steal upon the ear. In her gym clothes, a little girl enjoying herself; in classes, an unassuming student absorbed in all that is said ; but seated at the piano, an artist and near genius giving everything. ESTHER LINNEA LINDBERG 86 Town Hill Street, Quincy. Secretary of class 1, 2, 3,4. W. A. A. 1,2, 3, 4. Science Club 1, 2, 3, 4. Danc- ing 2, 3, 4. Head of Dancing 3. Bowling 2, 3, 4. And lightly was her slender nose Tiptilted like the petal of a flower. If practice amounts to anything, Esther should be the perfect secretary. Few of her reports ever need corrections, and, indeed, little she undertakes can be improved upon. Art to Esther means dancing, and of its followers she is one of the most devoted. Yet in her dress, there is evidence that she can transfer her art, for Esther is always perfectly clothed. 32 C LASSES ALICE LINDSTROM 248 Grafton Street, Brockton. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Science Club 1, 2, 3, 4. President 3. Library Club 4. On with the dance, let joy be unconfined. Blue-eyed, blond Allie likes soft lightsand smooth rhythm, and can sing you the words to the very latest songs. Her savoirfaire makes her a charming addition to any hospitality committee. We know books interest her, especially slim volumes of poetry, and so we won- der how she can bear those heavy zoology books which she carries with a beatific expression on her face. FRANCES ELLA LYMAN 77 Slocum Street, Acushnet. W. A. A. 3, 4. Gay good nature sparkles in her eyes, As she doeth little kindnesses which others leave un- done. Frances ' eyes reflect her jovial personality and it takes but a word to make them sparkle. Her enviable disposition takes her through the liveliest of games and the dullest of assignments. ALICE JOHANNA MADDEN 73 Kingman Avenue, Brockton. W. A. A. 2, 3. Music hath charms. Shy freshman, industrious sophomore, studious jun- ior, poised senior. Each year has added its bit in the development of our most unassuming senior. And each year Alice has given a bit more geniality, generous- ness, and gayness to add to the spirit of Bridgewater. 33 1934 ALPHA ALICE LOUISE MAGNANT 54 Walker Street, Atlantic. Vice-president Dormi- tory Council 4. Camera Club 2, 3, 4. W. A. A. 1,2, 3. Basketball 1, 2, 4. To be sincere. To look life in the face With calm, undrooping eyes. Sophisticated as Kay Francis; smart as Ina Claire; assured as Ethel Barrymore; debonair as Maurice Chev- alier; and frank as only Alice herself can be. We have never tried to resist her appeal— energy is a precious possession. HELEN JOSEPHINE MATTSON 117 Winslow Avenue, Norwood. Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4. Choir 1, 2, 3, 4. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Volleyball 1, 2, 3. Tenniquoit 2, 3. Baseball 1. Bowling 4. Fair and learned and good is she. Helen is one of the small number of people who ap- pear contented. Surrounded by friends, the look never leaves her, or walking alone she seems encircled by a cloud of her own calmness and sufficiency. ETHEL McENELLY 140 Wood lawn Street, Lynn. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Hock- ey 1, 2. Basketball 1, 2. Topics of the Day 1, 2, 3, 4, Treasurer 3, 4. Science Club 1, 2, 3, 4. Student Gov- ernment 4. It ' s nice to be natural When it ' s natural to be nice. Popping with enthusiasm regardless of whether it concerns the antics of a tiny black and white dog or a newly discovered bit of verse! Have you heard her reciting, seriously and frankly, if a little radically, her favorite progressive theories? Poise, a keen mind, and a likable personality are Ethel ' s. Keep those Irish eyes smiling! 34 CLASSES ALICE AILEEN McGRATH 206 Middle Street, East Weymouth. W. A. A. 3. Good humor teaches charms to last, Still makes new conquests and maintains the past. That Aileen is a daring person who loves to live life excitingly and dangerously we judge by the way she swings her coupe around Bridgewater common every morning at 9:14§ A. M. However, she ' s not risky, for she never attempts to enter a class room unprepared! LORETTA MARY McHUGH 132 Broadway, Taunton. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Hobby Club 2, 3, 4. Secretary 4.

She ' s equally ready for work or fun, From early dawn to set of sun. Who will forget with what tireless enthusiasm Lor- etta gave of her artistic talent to keep alive traditions of beauty and perfection? Of unbounded vitality, there is no obstacle too high for her to surmount and we are led to expect great things of her. RUTH JOSEPHINE McKEE Water Street, Hingham. Glee Club 2, 3, 4. W. A. A. 1,2,3,4. French Club 2, 3, 4. Vice-President 3. Bas- ketball 1,2. Hockey 1,2. Why worry what tomorrow brings? There must be an explanation of the fact that Ruth is such a pleasant person to have around. Just watch her a few moments and you will discover that in her spontaneity and ingenuity lies the secret. 35 1934 ALPHA SUSAN GERTRUDE McKENNA 165 Broadway, Taunton. W. A. A. 1, 2,3, 4. Science Club 1, 2, 3, 4. Happy am I, from care I ' m free; Why aren ' t they all contented like me? Sue ' s air of quietness and nonchalance combined with a certain degree of seriousness and wit envelopes each new undertaking, for Sue is always the same in class or out except for that one class when she is down- right sleepy.

And golden locks come flashing by, Like sudden sunshine through the sky. A Pre-Raphaelite profile is the only antique thing about this modern damsel. Titian might have coveted her as a model, but that wouldn ' t flatter Doris. IVloral: call her blonde and never red-head! There are as many sides to Doris as facets to the well-cut diamond. MARGUERITE ZITA McMANUS 37 Bay Street, Taunton. Club 4. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Hobby There is not a moment without some duty. How true of Marguerite ' s four years at Bridgewater! During this time, one has seldom seen her not prepar- ing some lesson or helping others who will ever cherish the companionship of one so kind, conscientious, and considerate. Success to you who deserve it. 36 CLASSES OLGA JOHANNA ELIZABETH McMURDIE 133 Manning Street, Needham. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Vice-President 4. Dormitory Council 3. Hockey 1,2, 3,4. Basketball 1, 2, 3.

Ideally athletic, profoundly true, quietly humorous, and forcefully reserved is Olga. She personifies the standards of W. A. A. of stability, sportsmanship, and scholarship, which are the core of W. A. A., the organ- ization that she served so efficiently as vice-president. LAURA GERTRUDE MITCHELL 146 Adams Street, Waltham. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Hockey 1, 2, 3. Basketball 1, 2, 3. Baseball 1, 2.

If there is any truth in this theory of correlation we pity the person who tries to understand Laura by its application. For we can never be sure of one phase of her disposition, or action for five minutes. She ' s that unusual! MARGARET MARY MOLLOY 58 Colby Street, Bradford. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Topics oftheDay3,4. Dancing3. Hockeyl. StudentCoun- cil 4. Vice-President of Class 4. Talent and worth are the only external grounds of distinction. Merry, mischievous Miggy ! The singularness of Margaret (who ever calls her that?) is the integrity by which she holds to her ideals even during her most frivolous moments. To realize that her personality is consistent with this, is to understand why she is a sincere friend. 37 1934 ALPHA GERTRUDE ESTHER MORAN 77 High Street, Milford. Hobby Club 3, 4, Kinder- garten Primary Club 4, W. A. A. 3, 4, Bowling 3, 4. To prove she knows it, only watch a while That humorous, tender, all-ambitious smile. Gertrude ' s smile betokens more than happiness — it reveals a spirit alive with ambition and eagerness. In Gertrude ' s leisure you ' ll discover her in that en- chanted land called hobbies .

Hockey 28 Walter Street, Hyde Park, brary Club 2, 3, 4. Treas. 3. 2. Tennis 2. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3. The mystery that ' s hers — a mischievous Serenity that laughs at fame. The first thing one notices about Millie is her eyes, and thereafter one never forgets them. Is it because of these she can talk to us so convincingly, can be so dramatic? Entertaining is her strong point. No one ever is bored, although often quiet reigns while Millie displays her powers of concentration by making chairs and tables move at her will. 38 C LASSES AILEEN MORGAN 284 Washington Street, Haverhill.

And she hath smiles to earth unknown — Smiles that do spread and sink and rise. A delightful personality because of that red hair. Did the because of surprise you? It ' s true. Some- thing must have given the zest to her laughter, the deviltry to her eyes, and the pep to her motions; and we attribute it to that red hair. Yet it ' s not so red that Marion isn ' t a comfortable person to live with, and we ' re certainly going to miss her. 39 1934 ALPHA vf, lcfr Cf ARLEE N NOLAN 55 Everett Street, Middleboro. W. A. A. 2, 3, 4. Hob- by Club 4. Library Club 4. With gentle and prevailing force Intent upon her destined course. This young lady is one of whom it can be said, She has grown while at Bridgewater. Her love of books and reading has been shown in her enthusiastic fresh contributions in literature classes. Her growth has not been great enough, however, to develop even an appreciation of the word exam. FRANCES NORTON 168 Main Street, Amesbury. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Lib- rary Club 3, 4. Vice-President 4. Who broke no promise, served no private end Who gained no title and lost no friend. A sense of humor, a good nature, and an equal amount of brain power fuse to make Frannie. What would a class be like without her using her eyes to express her enjoyment (?) at being called upon to recite? HELEN EILEEN O ' HALLORAN 490 Broad Street, East Weymouth. W. A. A. 3. Why worry what tomorrow brings? Today is here — and now ' s the time For song and jest. A sense of humor is a priceless possession, and Helen is the lucky possessor of that. Her jollity is a great asset to a commuter ' s table or a gym hike. Keen enjoyment of dancing heads the list of her pleasures, which seem to have a wide scope. 40 CLASSES ALICE EMILIA OLSON 39 Massasoit Road, North Weymouth. W. A. A. 1, 2. Pro and Con 2. Day Student Council 1, 2, 4. Campus Comment Reporter 2. Her ivory hands on the ivory keys Strayed in a fitful fantasy. A gloomy Alice? Impossible! There is always a merry twinkle lurking in her eyes, which invites you to say something immediately that will bring forth the chuckle which belongs with them. Alice has her serious moments though, when she is playing in a fitful fantasy. ELEANOR PARKER 299 Salem St. Bradford. W. A. A. 1 , 2, 3, 4. Deeds are better than words. Socrates said: Know thyself ; and to this Eleanor has added : But don ' t let anyone else. But, however much Eleanor has tried to perplex us with her deep personality, we have detected that she is ever ready for fun or a weekend at home. ELOISE LUCY PARSONS 199 North Central Street, East Bridgewater. Club 3. Hobby Beautiful and rich is an old friendship, Where light has lingered intimate and long. Interested enough in her chosen career to stand on windy corners waiting for a bus and carry an over- stuffed brief case to and fro, Eloise returned this year for her degree.

Temperamental Anne! Tantalizing in her flash from mood to mood. Intriguing in her infinite variety. Gay to sad; joyous to mad! Why? Because Anne is truly artistic. Who paints those clever scenes for the alcove for dances? Who makes posters and signs and more posters? Who arranges flowers beautifully for teas and banquets? Anne. DOROTHY MARION REYNOLDS 1357 Broadway, Somerville. Library Club 1. Day Student Council 4. Nor sink those stars in empty night; They hide themselves in heaven ' s own light. To argue with Dot is to marshal all your forces a- gainst almost sure destruction. For she has examined all branches of learning that she might satisfy her in- credible hunger for knowledge. But if you should emerge from the verbal combat successful, yours would be a complete triumph, for Dorothy is as generous as she is intelligent. MURIEL ELIZABETH ROBIE Central Street, Fayville. French Club 1. Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4. Hockey 1, 3. 4, Baseball 1. Act well your part — there all the honor lies. Muriel isalwaysvery much Muriel except for dramatic club plays when blushes and other evidences of femin- inity are lost and Muriel ' s voice becomes bass and her walk mannish. Miss Moffitt will be hard put to find such a consistently fine man . 42 CLASSES GERALDINE LOIS SALEY 264 Belmont Avenue, Brockton. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. French Club 2, 3, 4. Topics of the Day 3, 4.

Topics of the Day 4. French Club 2, 3, 4. All that she looks on is made pleasanter. There is about Dorothy a fragile winsomeness which effectually disguises her sturdiness. The telling qual- ity of her words comes perhaps from the wide reading she does but the keenness of her humor is quite evi- dently Dorothy ' s own.

Ask Ruth, — she ' ll help you , has become a by-word among her friends who can always rely upon Ruth to carry them through any difficulty. 43 1934 ALPHA EMILY LOUISE SHAFFNER 66 Spring Street, Maiden.

Topics of the Day 4. Executive Committee 4. Hockey 1. Archery 1. Basketball 1. Beautiful must be the mountains whence ye come, And bright in the fruitful valleys the streams where from ye learn your song. Who is that singing down the hall? Dot Shaw, of course. Not only her singing but her half-jocular arguing, also, is a source of enjoyment to her and to her friends. To make a good effect, her voice, noted for its softness, takes on a different tone at such times. She is proud to have come from the Berkshires. Just ask her! MAUREEN MADELEINE SHEA 81 Church Street, Chicopee Falls. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3. Library Club 1. Topics of the Day 3, 4. Dancing 3. The look she hath when she a little smiles Cannot be said, nor holden in the thought. Rarely does one find classic features and a glamorous personality accompanied by such high spiritedness and personal charm as are Maureen ' s. Her social graces are only superceded by her faculty for doing easily what others do with difficulty. 44 CLASSES VERA McKENNA SIA Stony Beach, Hull. Class Representative 1, 2. Stu- dent Council 1, 2.

Sweet- en with 6 tablespoonfuls of winsomeness, and add 1 teaspoonful of independence for flavoring. Mix in several jolly laughs, top with dignity, and serve im- mediately.

Laughter, gay and unaffected, song and dance full of grace Into one small human maiden, God saw fit to place. White hands never quiet, seemingly always eager to move over the piano keys. Yet we know their capa- bility in any branch of the arts whether fine or practical. Olive ' s hands are telling indices of her person. 45 1934 ALPHA ANNA MARY STAFONWIC 8 Oak Avenue, Taunton. W. A.

We think so; for whether Anna is dashing toward a hockey goal or toward a more significant goal she is ambition itself — ambition which takes time out for merriment. LILLIAN GLADYS STANDISH Wareham Street, Middleboro. Orchestra 3, 4. Glee Club 3, 4. Yea, music is the Prophet ' s art Among the gifts that God hath sent, One of the most magnificent! Friendliness and wit were the traits most evident to us when we first met Lillian. Misplacement of her pitch pipe would not disturb her because Lillian pos- sesses that rarest of musical gifts, perfect pitch. MARGARET LOIS STRANGE, A. B. 7 Sumner Street, Taunton. Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale Her infinite variety. Laughingly gay yet genuinely sympathetic, bliss- fully young yet supremely sophisticated, Margaret represents a typical college girl. 46 CLASSES FRIEDA ELIZABETH STROMDAHL 65 Bay View Avenue, East Lynn.

As a freshman her very poise made us believe in her. Her next years fulfilled our belief and this last year with all honor and so much hard work she is still the same gracious, capable, and unflurried Betty.

To her will come the finest things in life because to life she gives her best. To put artistic loveliness into everything which she attempts — such is Nathalie ' s rare talent. Her per- sonality is as true to form and beauty as her artistic accomplishments. CONSTANCE TOBIN 25 Winthrop Avenue, Bridgewater. Science Club 3, 4. Dancing 3, 4. Wearing all that weight of learning lightly like a flower. Connie found that making out a program here at Bridgewater was complicated by that first year at Rad- cliffe. If you shouldn ' t get a position as a teacher, you could apply for that of a model with the Pepsodent Company. 47 = 1934 ALPHA LOUISE EDVIGE TOSI 281 Sandwich Street, Plymouth.

Her words are those that send Fresh laughter and delight. Et tu , Louise, are accused of the crime of keeping a solemn face while you convulse your friends, even while you ' re dashing down the hockey field or suffer- ing from broken ankles. But you will be an athlete! Louise is going to have her greeting: I think you ' re wonderful copyrighted because she has discovered much to her chagrin that one of our cinema stars has appropriated it.

There are enough people who have penetrated Ber- n ice ' s apparent reserve to reveal her a clever witty per- son, the cause of many a smile and hearty laugh. Most of us know her as the blond girl so closely affiliated with music and to whom we have to pay our library fines and thus we know her at her best for in music and in books her keenest interests lie.

Did your mother use Ivory Soap, Louise, or was it a gift? Louise would have us believe she has the most exquisite complexion on the campus because she prac- tices what she preaches at W. A. A. meetings: an hour ' s exercise a day in the fresh air. Louise is like that, she never says anything which she herself is not willing to adhere to.

Responsibility walks hand in hand with capacity and power. Another girl brushed with Taunton ambition. It colors all she does with the need to do it perfectly. Dot is one of these people who can do two things well at the same time, talk and work. And is she resourceful? MAE SYLVIA WILSON 179 Central Street, South Weymouth. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4, Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4. Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4, Soccer 2, 3. Her ready wit and cheery smile Proclaim to all, she ' s a friend worth while. How Mae delights in excellent marks but how she hates to hand in papers on time. It is fortunate that she has so much natural ability because her excess energy demands time spent in dancing, hiking, and driving. 49 1934 ALPHA MILDRED SWAN YOUNG Brook Street, Scituate. W. A. A. 1 , 2, 4. Girl Scouts 1,2. Hockey 1. There is nothing which effort cannot overcome. A dash of gaiety and much seriousness — the serious- ness kept for math classes, and the gaiety, Mildred gives to her friends. How often we have had cause to appreciate her logic!

C. athletics you automatically think of Charlie, for he has been one of our leading athletes. His dominant masculinity made him quite a favorite among the fair sex. We agree with you, girls; he certainly will be missed next year. HARVEY GRAHAM CADWELL 42 Summer Street, Kingston. Student Council 1. Lyceum 1, 2, 3, 4. Secretary-Treasurer 2. Vice- President 3, 4.

Presenting, to be appraised, the coruscant cavalier, Kenneth Allen Cameron, who e ' en though vanquished could argue still. Ken is a person of conflicting ideas and attitudes. He rejected biology as a jejune subject; but, — he is known as Mr. Shaw ' s right hand man. He is the college ' s unofficial poster artist for all social functions; yet, — his succinct opinion of a certain com- mittee is, we regret to say, unprintable literature. Ken has two main extra-curricular activities. One is ART — which he studies and loves, and loves to study; the other, well, if you know Ken, you ' ll know what it is.

Chan reminds one of the mighty atom— small in size but boundless in energy. He is scientifically minded and directs most of his serious energy along this line. The other kind of energy preserves the seniors from becoming a solemn dignified body. Most certainly he ' s a live wire; and wherever he may be, the sparks of life radiating from him will keep things anything but dull. RICHARD KENT CURLEY 27 Oregon Street, East Bridgewater.

Flywheel, as he has been jokingly nicknamed be- cause of his connection with the school store, possesses a vocabulary which would put our greatest statesman to the dictionary. He aspires to become a political leader; with his dynamic-accusative voice he is surely equipped. Creditforthe best B. T. C. baseball schedule ever arranged goes to Francis. Whoever attempts to carry on as he has is taking up a man sized job. JOHN GLENN 66 Forest Street, Whitman. N. A. A. 3, 4. Men ' s Club 3, 4. Alpha Board 4. Baseball 3, 4. Basketball 3, 4. Before joining the junior class in ' 32 Jack matricu- lated atShenendoah College in Virginia. Immediately he impressed us by his open and tolerant comradeship.

Mac is known to everyone for his generosity, his kindness, and his hearty, booming laugh. What would a Soc. class be without that laugh? What will the school do with- out that Packard sedan? HILTON FRANK MEARS 52 Becket Road, Belmont. Camera Club 3, 4. N.A. A. 2, 3, 4. Alpha 3. The perfect gentleman describes Hilton quite suffi- ciently, but we can ' t forget his rare ability as an artist and wood-worker. He doesn ' t allow just things to bother him. Perhaps this easy going attitude was ac- quired down south during his stay at William and Mary College. Here is a man individual in his ways, but friendly to everyone. FREDERICK AUGUSTUS MEIER, JR. 527 Pine Street, Whitman. N. A. A. 4. Men ' s Club 4. B. S.: M. S.— Boston College Freddy has been with us only this one year. A grad- uate of Boston College, he came here seeking teacher training. Did you find it in that feminine sociology class, Fred?

We bet you ' re blush- ing, Sime. He ' s a co-operative man who will listen to good sound reasoning and pitch in to do his part. It takes men of Simon ' s calibre to insure the success of any given task. JOSEPH FOLEY MOREY 21 Main Street, Bridgewater. N. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Men ' s Club 1, 2, 3, 4. Vice-President 3.

Joe is the outstanding athlete, not only of the Senior Class, but the entire school. We might also add that Joe has few superiors as a dancer. We admire him for his irrepressibility. He can ' t be kept down. Whatever disappointments, struggles, or misfortunes he has had, he bobs up again with that characteristic nonchalance. One gets no complaining from him. Whata refreshing personality. Who could help appreciating a chap like that? OTTO ALFRED PETERSON, JR. 309 Seaver Street, Stoughton. N. A. A. 3, 4. Men ' s Club 3, 4. Baseball 3, 4. Soccer 3, 4. Pete is a unique character around college. He is not the sophisticated type of student — he is real. Of his fine qualities the most outstanding is his ability to reason logically. While on the outside he is gruff, we surmise it is only a surface shell. Remember those gentle characteristics he exercised in gym class, Seniors? 54 CLASSES JOHN JOSEPH SMITH 100 Spooner Street, Plymouth. N. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Men ' s Club 1, 2, 3, 4. Student Council 3, Baseball 4. Smitty is one of the undemonstrative persons whom we all secretly admire. True he may not always hold the spot light, but he is always right there; and as a printer he has often been a life-saver to less gifted printers. Look, world! Here he comes!

Suke ' s participation in any project marks that project ' s success. Thoroughness permeates his every action. He begins his career with all the requisites of a fine teacher, among them personality, poise, know- ledge, and a host of friends. We have just one request, Suke. Don ' t let that veneer of supreme seriousness completely submerge the clown. 55 1 934 ALPHA JOSEPH DRINKWATER TEELING 363 Walnut Street, Bridgewater. Men ' s Club 2, 3, 4. N. A. A. 2, 3, 4. Science Club 2, 3, 4. Versatile adequately describes Joe . Distinguished in everything he does, his activities range from playing baseball to digging out hitherto hidden source material.

Alfred has been one of the chief navigators of our class ship during the past four years. He has proven himself an intelligent and capable leader in many of our school and class organizations. Woody has one great specialty — making chapel announcements. Every one of these is packed with real humor; and it is to the delight of all when he rises to deliver an announcement. 56 CLASSES Class Ode of 1934 Words Music Helen Mattson Helen Mattson Elois Godfrey Elois Godfrey Four short years we ' ve been together, Friendships made to keep forever, Knowledge gained and love of truth, Hope, the guiding star of youth. Now our goals will suit our ways Beyond the realms of college days- And we ' ll use thy beacon light To lead us always in the right. Chorus Oh, loved Alma Mater, we now bid adieu, To thee and our comrades so loyal and true — As forth from thy portals we now do depart, Fond mem ' ries and friendships we hold in our heart. Oh loved Alma Mater, our voices we raise To thee in eternal and reverent praise. 57 1934 ALPHA JUNIORS President Kenneth Murphy V. -President Velma Davis Secretary Olive Hosford Treasurer . Mary Campbell Junior History Juniors — Training! In the minds of the students at Bridgewater these words are almost synonymous. But not until one becomes a Junior can he be appreciative of thefull significance of the word, Training . The class is necessarily broken up, and never, during the entire year, is the whole class together. One group returns from the teaching field only to have another depart in that direction. Sometimes, however, we do manage to get a fair sized group together. Then indeed are the Juniors jolly! Prom, the important event of the social year, was shared with the Sophomores. To the music of a private band we danced in an en- ticingly spooky garden beneath the sea. We find it hard to realize that three years have passed since we trod these halls in green bow ties, red caps, and yellow hair ribbons. Our increasing responsibilities haveforced ustomakethe mostof every minuteof thisyear, butwe have thoroughly enjoyed taking an active part in college affairs. For some of us it has been the last year at Bridgewater. Those of us who return next fall will miss the friends who have left us. But — even the best of friends must part. Here ' s wishing you the best there is! Olive Hosford, Secretary. 58 CLASSES MARY ADAMOWSKA 483 South Front Street, New Bedford. W. A. A. 3. Garden Club 2, 3.

Ready to go — Quick to start — Fun on the way! Have you a problem? Suggestions — solutions — remedies — gener- ously extended! Benny maintains the distinguished heritage of other Norwood girls. VERONICA DOROTHY BINGLE 19 Arthur Street, West Lynn. W. A. A. 1,2, 3. Scouts 1. Garden Club 3. Dormitory Council 2, 3. Why worry what tomorrow brings? Today is here— and now ' s the time for song and jest. A striking figure in any gathering with that straight- forward and cheerful optimism. Can her smile have anything to do with the easy leadership she exercises? Quick sympathy— a touch of wit— a readiness for fun— and a love for poetry portray Von. 59 1934 ALPHA EMMA RITA BISSONET 7 Madison Street, Taunton. W. A. A. 1, 3. Moderation is the silken string running through the pearl chain of all virtues. Extremely quiet— a slow, deep and very pleasant voice— Emma.

Glee Club 2, 3. Kindergarten-Primary Club 3. Vice President of Class 2, 3. The fairest garden in her looks, And in her mind the wisest books. There is something fragile and delicate about Velma which impresses one before he discovers that her ap- pearances of youth masks a mature and capable mind. Velma would never sign a code which would limit the hours of work she spends aiding others. 60 CLASSES ALICE TERESA DONAHUE 24 Railroad Avenue, Norwood. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3. Her voice was ever soft, and low — Ah excellent thing in woman. Why hide yourself, Alice? We would like to know those thoughts that keep you so silent. Why not show everyone that spirit of fun you have shown to your friends? HAZEL DUMAS 271 Barnaby Street, Fall River. Glee Club 3. W. A. A. Kindergarten-Primary 3. Her smile is the sweetest that ever was seen: Her cheek like the rose is, but fresher, I ween. Hazel is a rarity, a true gentlewoman. Don ' t frown, Hazel; we all recognize you for what you are.

It certainly is a pleasure to meet anyone whose ideals complement so well the ideals of our school. We all love Ginny ' s hair, especially on the days when it is almost red. 61 1934 ALPHA MADELAINE THERESA GEIGER 66 Sagamore Avenue, Quincy. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3. And still they gazed, and still the wonder grew, That one small head could carry all she knew. One of the qualities we have often envied in a certain favored few of our associates is the ability to absorb lectures without writing notes and in this Madelaine is preeminent. May this combination coupled with your contagious enthusiasm continue to enhance all you do. RUTH MARY GOULD 47 Salem Street, Rockland. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3. To be merry best becomes you, For out of the question you were born in a merry hour Goldie — golden hair, innumerable golden freckles, an attractive smile. Just a diminutive bunch of bub- bling enthusiasm. An ardent and competent sports- woman. Goldie is renowned for her cynical remarks, but is soon forgiven — for who could resist that irresis- tible grin? DORIS ELVIRA GRADE 34 Sunnybank Road, Watertown. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3. Scouts 1. Garden Club 2, 3. Glee Club 2, 3. Dormi- tory Council 2, 3. Secretary-Treasurer of Gates House 2. Possessed an air and grace by no means common.

Easily recognized — Dolores! PATRICIA HOLMES High Street, Webster. W. A. A. 1,2, 3. Garden Club 1, 2, 3. Treasurer 2. President 3. Hobby Club 1. Class Editor, Alpha 1. She is not shy Or bold, but simply self possessed. Her independence adds a zest! Pat says she came to college for experience in all lines! — which she not only received but gave. She ' s fond of debating. We shall often remember her fiery arguments in Soc. class, that revealed the intensity of Pat ' s nature. DORIS VIRGINIA HUNT 30 Congress Street, Stoneham. W. A. A. 1,3. Scouts 1. Garden Club 2, 3. Class Editor, Campus Comment 1. Heart on her lips, and soul within her eyes, Soft as her clime, and sunny as her skies. One can never come within the influence of Doris ' presence without feeling the particular softness of her personality. All gentle and pleasant qualities in Doris, excepting only the sharp impatience with which she waits for week ends. 63 1934 ALPHA EDNA LORRAINE KENNEDY 132 Somerset Avenue, Taunton. W. A. A. 2, 3. Glee Club 1, 2, 3. Sing away sorrow, cast away care. Very petite! Edna is particularly active in music. Often has she, accompanied by one of the members of B4, entertained us before gym practice with her in- terpretation of the latest song hits. Another of her favorite pastimes is dancing and in both she excels. SADIE AGNES LAMBE 167 Commercial Street, Weymouth. W. A. A. 1. Day Student Council Representative 1. It is the wise head that makes the still tongue. What wonderful handwriting! And Sadie matches her handwriting — generous, true to form, careful.

Garden Club 2, 3. Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time. For that is the stuff life is made of. The most quiet and studious member of our division.

We wish she wouldn ' t be so quiet and secretive for surely such a conscientious worker should have much to give us. 64 CLASSES HAZEL LILLIAN LONG 3 Lincoln Street, Middleboro. W. A. A. 1, 3. Glee Clubl, 3. And her voice was the warble of a bird, So soft, so sweet, so delicately clear. How much we admire Hazel ' s voice, both speaking and singing. Gracious, dignified, sympathetic, and always willing to help are all desirable attributes for her to take into any classroom. To know Hazel is to have a friend indeed. JESSIE GRAY MACFEE 41 Avalon Avenue, Quincy. Hobby Clubl. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3. Her ways are ways of pleasantness And all her paths are peace. It is our delight to listen to Jessie talk!

Soccer star — tennis enthusiast — owner of that delightful burr and that gurgling laugh. JANET EVANS NIMMO 883 Southern Artery, Quincy. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3. Hob- by Clubl. Smooth runs the water where the brook runs deep. I ntroducing the meek young lady with the nickname Nero.

Clubl. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3. Hobby Laughing at this, laughing at that, No one knows what she ' s laughing at. Scratch, scratch — what have we? None other than our Packy right on the job for the latest news. Her never failing ability to get the joke first, plus her natur- al sense of humor, should help to make her life a pleas- ant one. Packy has a bad case of giggles which are very infectious. RUTH RIDER 44 First Street, Dalton. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3. W. A. A. Board 2. Kindergarten-Primary Club 1, 2, 3. Vice- President 3.

Just ask her who the latest eloper is, or why we had an especially good dinner the other night. She knows all in true Winchell style. Who? Helen! 66 CLASSES ARLENE SHEEHAN 37 Albion Street, Brockton.

She was born under a lucky star and is intimate with the Blarney Stone. Popular with all — she keeps us amused, for she is unconsciously a prolific source of humor, seriousness tempering her humour with jollity. We foresee a tempestuous but most complete future. Incidentally — what does she dream about in class — or is she asleep? DORIS SPRAGUE 464 High Street, Bridgewater. Club 3. W. A. A. 2, 3. Garden Is full of spirit as the month of May. Doris quickly made new friends upon transferring from Salem. Her power as a basket ball player is well known as is her ability to bring home all the bridge prizes! Her friends will always remember her many kind acts and her ever ready acquiescence to any pro- posed lark. DORIS STENBERG 294 Furnace Brook Parkway, Quincy, Mass. Hobby Clubl. Garden Club, 2, 3. W. A. A. 1,2, 3. Merriment is always the effect of a sudden impression. The jest which is expected is already destroyed. Whimsical at times, far underneath her bantering air, a pensive and serious self lies, visible only to her closest friends. Doris has an impenetrable personality to outsiders, but to her chums she is a warm and en- during friend. 67 1934 ALPHA BARBARA STOCKBRIDGE 104 Summer Street, Maynard. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3. Scouts 1,3.

That slow steady smile be- speaks her perseverance, which Barbara has had oppor- tunity to reveal. Patience is a virtue — possessed by Barbara. We know she ' ll make an ideal first grade teacher.

Next to acquiring good friends, the best acquisition is that of good books. Come on, Bea— come out of your shell. Give us an opportunity to share a little of that knowledge you keep stored up in your brain. You should be proud and happy, for you have real gifts. Every once in a while Bea ' s sense of humor bursts forth— unexpectedly because of her traditional silence. IRENE ELIZABETH WALKER R. F. D. 1, Attleboro. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3. Blessed with temper, whose unclouded ray Can make tomorrow cheerful as today. Who is that very quiet and reserved young lady who is so very conscientious in all she does and who blushes to the utmost extreme at the least disturbance? Why, that ' s Irene, whose modesty and charm lie in the un- interrupted calm of her mind. 68 CLASSES DORIS FRANCIS WILD 847 Washington Street, Abington. Kindergarten- Primary Club 1. Hobby Club 1. W.

Gone were those doubtful misgivings and inward trepidations, the bugbears of our Freshman days, when we returned to college last fall as Sophomores. After sailing successfully through the stormy seas of initiation, teas, socials, classes, and interviews, we felt competent enough to tackle anything. As usual, our first tackling proposition was the eventful and time-honored one of initiating the Freshmen into the mysteries of this college life. To be honest, it is still a bit doubtful in our minds whether we initiated the Freshmen or they initiated, and are still initiating, us. Nevertheless, we do know that everyone had an enjoyable time. When the Freshmen were acclimated, we turned our attention to the annual Sophomore Social held in November, and later to the Sophomore-Junior Prom in January. Although at times we feared the plans for the joint dance were suffering from the after-effects of Old Man Depression , the dance itself was a gala occasion- asocial and financial success, and one which will be long remembered for its unique decorations, and deep-sea atmosphere. The most important event of the year for most of us was our first experience in the teaching profession — the six weeks of training-school. It was a marvel to us that six weeks approached with such inward quakings could pass so quickly and enjoyably. We have had a good share in both scholastic and athletic fields this year. Now we are well on the straight and narrow path to the aspirations of our youthful days. Soon, we, too, will become members of that invincible long arm of the law known as the Juniors.

T. C. If you didn ' t know them by their bewildered expressions, you couldn ' t miss the boys ' large kelly green silk bow ties or the girls ' light blue hair ribbons and embroidered bibs. Dur- ing the month of initiation Freshies were immediately put in their place of in- feriority by standing in the presence of upper classmen, opening doors, and empty- ing lockers. After two such weeks they were prepared for anything from the treacherous Sophs when they announced a compulsory attendance initiation party. How- ever, it proved a lively division competition of gamesand fun atwhich D2 carried off the laurelsof bluebootiesbutatwhichalldivisionsleftbibsand bows. Blue romper day held on the lower campus followed. This was also sponsored by the Sophomores and D4 was victorious this time. All these events proved our upper classmen a group of good sports and made the Freshmen feel themselves more a part of the college. In fact they were all now feeling the spirit of Bridgewater through the friendly guid- ance of big sisters and brothers. The girls entered the social realm with a series of teas given under the direction of Miss Pope and held in the library during book week. In the sports program the Freshmen were not satisfied with a back seat and could boast of Jerry Long and Verne Bodwell on the first team of the basketball squad. Nor did the girls disappear into the background in the sports program. The hockey team under Connie Sullivan could boast of beating the seniors, but the sen- iors repayed this defeat in a victory over the winning Blue Flash basket-ball team under Kay Bran ley. Before the election of officers came an acquaintance social at which the candi- dates performed and other mem bers showed their abi I ity in decorati ng, entertai n i ng, and serving supper. 76 CLASSES In March, Ruth Koss, who had been conducting the class meetings, introduced the newly elected officers and left the class of ' 37 to sink or swim as it would. The first signs of their ability appeared in May with a Freshman dance. Thus ends a most interesting year, wherein the Freshmen, as observers to a large extent, became attached to B. T. C. and are looking forward eagerly to three years of increasing activity!

All student problems which do not fall under the jurisdiction of the faculty are taken care of by this organization. Within the association there are several councils which solve the problems most closely connected with their special function. Stu- dent Council is the most powerful ; it is by this organization that matters of great- est importance are initiated and action taken. This group strives to maintain the high standards of Bridgewater Teachers College, and works continually to improve all phases of college life. This year five new committees have been formed: election, chapel, handbook, bulletin board, and library. The chairman of each is a member of the Student Council. Through the formation of these committees, it is hoped that work will progress more efficiently. The Library Committee formed this year has proved very successful. The neces- sity for creating this committee arose when the council voted, earlier in the year, to charge a fine for overdue library books. The money received has been used for the purchase of several new books for the library. The need of a college songbook has been realized, and a committee has been ap- pointed to work with Miss Frieda Rand to obtain such a book. It is through the council that a charity fund, which gave health and happiness to some needy children of the Training School, was raised at Christmastime. The council also was in charge of the play, Cinderella , which was presented under theauspicesof the Childrens ' Theatre of New York. Itwasfeltby all the members of the council that this opportunity for children and adults to see an unusual and worthwhile performance should not be overlooked. The profit realized from the presentation started a fund for the purchase of a radio or moving- picture machine for the auditorium. Nathalie Thibau , t) Secre tary 82 ORGANIZATIONS Row 4— M.

Two new lamps were purchased to further beautify Normal Hall Reception Room, and Dormitory Council plans to buy two magazines a month for this room. Alumni Week-end and Open House were both great successes. Theformer brought back many of the graduates and the latter brought many friends and parents. The serving of demi-tasse in the reception room on Sunday, which was started last year, is still being continued, with marked success. This year something entirely new was sponsored by Dormitory Council. The play Leave It to Dad was presented March 7. Both men and women of the college took part. The proceeds from this play were to be given to assist in the establish- ment of the Esther Tarr Student Loan Fund. One of the most important projects started by Dormitory Council is this Student Loan Fund in memory of Esther Tarr, who graduated from the college in the class of 1933, and who passed away during her first year of teaching. This fund is to help worthy students of the college to meet the lesser college expenses. One of the many problems that the Council is working on is that of providing more time for study for those who need it. During the Christmas season, a sale of inexpensive gifts was held. This was very successful. We hope that the Dormitory Council to whom we leave our problems will be as successful as the Dormitory Council of 1933-34 feels they have been.

The membership consists of the presidents of clubs, their faculty advisers and Campus Comment and Alpha editors. The presi- dent of Student Cooperative Association presides at the meetings. Several problems concerning club programs and duties of officers have been discussed and suggestions offered in the way of solution. Among the difficulties studied this year was that of the point system which is now revised so that more students throughout the college will have the opportunity to hold offices. This matter was left in the hands of a committee which decided, after having gained the necessary information, which offices in the various organiza- tions should be classed as major and which minor with the number of points for each. The student holding a major office may receive five to ten points, and one holding a minor office may receive one to four points. The chapel programs presented by the clubs have been considered cultural and in keeping with our profession. It is hoped that the high standard set will be main- tained and improvement made from year to year. Nathalie Thibault Secretary. 87 i 1934 ALPHA Row 3— M Chambers, E. Holbrook, P. Drevinsky, O.

Because of the coming of transfer students from other colleges, the large fresh- man class, and the fact that many dormitory students have become commuters, the commuters have added considerably to their happy family. No Christmas party was held this year as is customary, but the commuters joined the dormitory students and attended Ye Old Festival given us by the Faculty. However, the commuters did hold a highly successful Artists ' Ball with a typical miniature artist ' s studio as the most unique part of the decorations. Living tabl- eaux by well-known authors posed by the students comprised the entertainment. Work has been continued on the added attractiveness of the commuters ' room, and more plans as yet uncompleted are in progress. The commuters are still adding to their service ware, as two dozen cocktail glasses, two grapefruit plates, and six bowls have been purchased at Miss Pope ' s suggestion. The most welcome news is that Dr. Scott has recognized the commuters and has invited them to eat in the dining hall at a very low price. Cafeteria style of eating has been done away with by many of the students and will be by many more as time goes on. 88 ORGANIZATIONS SOCIAL ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE Chairman Dorothy Hixon Secretary Marie Kelley Social Activities Committee endeavors to encourage a spirit of genuine friendli- ness among dormitory and day students through informal social gatherings. Its program is varied to insure leisure well spent in social recreations. The first of these attempts was the Acquaintance Social where the freshmen met the awe-inspiring upperclassmen (and were duly impressed) and the upperclassmen greeted the new- comers, approval strongly registered in each appraising glance. Amid banners and blue eagles came the N. R. A. Social — a huge success. Many worthwhile suggestions for more leisure were presented through a series of tableaux. A more dignified affair was our next attempt — the Alumni Tea Dance, one of the happiest occasions of the year; for here, old acquaintances met anew. May the committee of next year have all the success possible, and accept the best wishes of the committee of 1934. Olga Anderson, Secretary pro -tern. Row 2— E. James, B. Smith, B. Trulson, W.

CULTURE FUND COMMITTEE Faculty Miss Nye Miss Hill Mr. Huffington Seniors Alfred Wood, Chairman Madeline Caswell, Secretary Ruth Henry Juniors Mary Roberts Ruth Van Campen George Jones Sophomores Eunice Perkins Katherine Ross Marshal Ney Revising and appropriating a familiar quotation, the Culture Fund Committee knows that you can please some of the people all the time, but you cannot please all of the people all of the time. Those persons whose task and opportunity it is to furnish worth-while and outstanding speakers for the college, try to bring satis- faction to most of the group, most of the time. In this college where emphasis is on professional education, some of our oppor- tunities for cultural development come from the programs presented through the efforts of the Culture Fund Committee. Three members from the faculty, and three members from each of the three upper classes try to procure speakers who will benefit and please at least a majority of the students and faculty. This means that any year ' s program may include a variety of subjects in order to satisfy the largest number possible. So far, this year ' s schedule has included an editor, an artist, and a professor and expert on far eastern problems. 90 ORGANIZATIONS Edward Weeks, editor of the Atlantic Monthly, spoke to us From the Editor ' s Easy-Chair . From his talk one may say that the editor ' s easy chair is non-exis- tent. It had never occurred to some of us that an editor does not find his greatest joy in spurning the painful efforts of unhonored and unsung authors. This detail is submerged in the editor ' s aim to make his publication a good one, a journal to satisfy critical readers. Mr. Weeks is an editor who reads an amazing amount of material, all that is submitted to him, and selects that which reaches the aims of the Atlantic. His lecture ranks with the superior magazine published under guid- ance of its editor. From the artist and lecturer, Gerrit Beneker, came a new suggestion for the solu- tion of problems arising from widespread economic unbalance. The Influence of Art in Economics was Mr. Beneker ' s contribution to the many suggestions for ending a major difficulty. To illustrate his talk, Mr. Beneker used slides of paintings he has made of workingmen in many places. Mr. Beneker finds vision, sturdiness, courage, and hope in men working in places like the blast furnace. The artist ' s cry was for more men of vision to complement the efforts of political and economic experts in making our nation the kind of nation that real Americans want it to be. Mr. Beneker ' s splendid talk was strengthened by the idealism of the man himself. We talk much, read some, and know a little about present relations between Japan, China, and Russia. Professor George Blakeslee of Clark University was a member of the Lytton Commission to examine Japanese and Chinese claims in the struggle over Manchuria, or Manchukuo as Japan has since called it. The investi- gators found Japan culpable, but the Nipponese calmly proceed on their way. With his detailed information, we were glad to hear Dr. Blakeslee ' s reassuring report on the improbability of war between Japan and the United States or between Japan and Russia. The final program of the second term was a lecture by Tony Sarg entitled Be- hind the Scenes with the Marionettes. Mr. Sarg is noted for his work in establish- ing the marionette theatre in the United States. He is also known for his illustra- tions in children ' s books, and has achieved marked success in commercial art. In his lecture to us Mr. Sarg spoke briefly of the history of marionettes and told some- thing of their construction. For the greater part of the hour he entertained us with descriptive anecdotes concerning his career. Mr. Sarg completely won his audience with his caricature of the head of the mathematics department. These are examples of the uses of the Culture Fund which tries to bring us the knowledge of progress here and everywhere through persons who have made major contributions to that progress.

President Grace Knox Secretary Veronica Bingle Treasurer Marion Nash Woodward Hall During the past year the changes which took place throughout the life of the college were present also in Woodward Hall. September found the housing conditions much changed, with people rooming two in one room, some empty rooms, and the majority of the Gates House Girls residents of Woodward. The vacant rooms have proved advantageous, since they have provided the day students with the opportunity of remaining overnight when affairs are going on at the college which they would like to attend. Woodward held its first College Dance and was pleased with the enthusiasm with which it was received. The basement of the dormitory has aided in the production of many such events as the Mardi Gras, Dramatic Club presentations and other such occurrences, since it is here that the girls planned and worked on the decorations. The work begun on the reception room last year was completed this year with the purchase of new draperies. Another pleasant addition to the dormitory was the new radio in room four, which has now become another student ' s room. The food sales of past years have been continued. A group of girls who, in their junior year, planned new decorations for the down- stairs recreation room were made a committee to work on the execution of their plans. With this record we close the year and hope that future residents of Woodward Hall will spend as many happy hours as have the girls of 1934. Aileen Morgan Secretary pro-tem. 93 1934 AL PHA 94 BUILDINGS DORMITORIES President Margaret Kimball V. President Olga Anderson Secretary Doris Jones Treasurer Ellen Dupuis N ormai Mall Normal Hall welcomed its first House Mother, Miss Henderson, in September. She proved to be sympathetic, helpful, and kind to the girls as they needed her. It was with regret that we, upon our return from the February vacation, found she had been transferred to Woodward Hall. We sincerely hope she will enjoy her duties there. But Normal Hall girls have found Miss Gassett well suited for this position. In the short time she has been with us, her friendliness and cheer have won for her a warm reception from all. Christmas, 1933, as usual found the dormitory gaily bedecked with wreaths and gay lights. A tree, decorated with lights and tinsel, in our reception room proved that the old custom of having Christmas trees is still very popular. The wreaths, fashioned of yew and brightly colored fruits, admirably suited the colonial doors upon which they were hung. The fruit, however, proved to be too great a tempta- tion to some little urchins who felt they needed it more than we. Thus, we were kept busy redecorating the wreaths. When Spring came, Normal Hall found itself fitted out with a new coat of paint on the inside. Our rooms have taken on a much more attractive appearance since they have been painted. It will be interesting to recall that this painting was done by the CWA workers as part of President Roosevelt ' s relief program. The underclassmen of Normal Hall wish each of its seniors a prosperous lifetime of cheer and contentment. F. Doris Jones, Secretary. 95 1934 ALPHA 96 1934 ALPHA EXPLANATION The work of this yearbook has as its theme, our college of the present and of the future. The page for Classes shows a new type of classroom discussion, that of social- ized recitation. The Student Cooperative Association page pictures student participation in the reading of the Bible in Chapel, one of Dr. Scott ' s innovations at the College. The Organization page represents the Mardi Gras in which all clubs partici- pated. The Athletics page depicts finer athletics for our college, one of Dr. Scott ' s many interests. For the Literature page, a student reading some of the literary revivals of this year has been used. The headings represent activities of our college. APPRECIATION The Editorial Board of Alpha for 1934 wishes to acknowledge the generous aid given by Miss Davis, Miss Nye, Miss Pope, and Mr. Kelly, our faculty advisers. We wish also to extend our thanks to those members of our college who have helped us in the publishing of this book. 98 ORGANIZATIONS Back row— Mr. Kelley. H. Spracklin. V. Fair, R. Curley, C.

The accomplishments of the paper for this year have been these: setting a regular publication date; gradually eliminating literary material such as short stories, long poems, essays, and book reports, and substituting short news items, human interest stories, sports, and short poems; and acknowledging our connection with the world of education by noting some progress in education each month. Below are examples, on the left, of a typical news story , and on the right, of a typical human interest story . Day Students Have Lunch at College. The opportunity of having luncheon in the dining hall at Normal Hall was offered to the day students by Dr. Zenos E. Scott. The students, through the purchase of strips of either five or ten tickets, may obtain a hot mid-day meal at a minimum cost. That the day students are in favor of this new plan may be seen by the increasing number who came to lunch- eon. One of the advantages of this change is the increased opportunity for closer contact between the day students and the dormitory students. Instructor Nibbles While Class Starves. Do they need a lunchroom in the administration building of the college? It might help Mrs. Durgin if there were one, for Mr. Durgin has to have a small snack between meals. The A1 mathematics class had just come in from the lower campus where they had been surveying, and were awaiting instructions. Mr. Durgin came in, opened a desk drawer, took out a sandwich, and began to eat, while the members of the class looked on hungrily. With a sandwich in one hand and a piece of chalk in the other, he proceed- ed to explain certain problems on the subject of surveying. 100 ORGANIZATIONS Row 4 — M. Candy, G. Jones, M. Osborne, J.

May 19 — Ne ' er to be forgotten night! One of the best successes that Miss Moffitt has ever produced was the Taming of the Shrew . Years hence when the memory dims, let this Alpha remind you of that illustrious cast: Lucentio RoseTinsley Tranio and Vincentio Dorothy Chatterton Baptista Ruth Mannion Katherina Barbara Randlett Bianca Virginia Bulger Gremio Margaret Kimball Hortensio Janie Carroll Biondello and Curtis Virginia Cochrane Petruchio . . . . Louise Hewitt Grumio Hilda Kidston Tailor and Widow Cecilia Perkins June 1 — One of the events of our club year always anticipated with much delight is the annual banquet given to the graduating members at Wyman ' s Tea Room. June 6 — Tryouts! With what hopes and fears that white-faced, shaking group took their places on the platform and presented Shakespeare as it had never been presented before. The lucky ones to be taken in that night were: Dorothy Alexander, Irene Kidd, Ruth Davis, Elsa Johnson, Barbara Schmalz. June 13 — These new members were officially and socially received into the club by their sisters at a reception. Interval of Recuperation Sept. 19 — Initial meeting of a year of stage successes and happiness under the ever loving guidance of Mother Moffitt. Nov. 17 — The Dramatic Club presented The Passing of the Third Floor Back with the following cast: Mrs. Sharp, A Cheat Dorothy Hixon Stasia, A Slut Elsa Johnson Miss Kite, A Cat Barbara Schmalz Mrs. Tompkins, A Shrew Cecilia Perkins Mrs. de Hooley, A Snob Dorothy Alexander 102 ORGANIZATIONS 3rd row— G.

Dec. 15 — Another one of our happy times is our Christmas party when we can forget our dignity and really enjoy ourselves. For three years Gynny has been our Santa and distributed our nonsense gifts. Dec. 22 — Dramatic Club contributes in a large measure to that lovely Christmas spirit which per- vades our campus every year by presenting its traditional Christmas drama, Why the Chimes Rang and The Littlest Shepherd alternately. This year it was the turn of the latter. Jan. 16 — If you were observing you would have noticed that every member of Dramatic Club was present at Cinderella . It is the policy of our club to support productions of this kind by attending all plays which come within our reach. Shakespearian Play — At this writing our cast for this year had not been chosen but our choice of play had been decided. We are to give As You Like It . This, we feel, will be of infinite value to the members who will be future teachers in High School, as the play is in so many curriculums. May this presentation be as successful as all our other plays have been. HILDA KIDSTON, Secretary 103 1934 ALPHA LIBRARY CLUB President Mildred Moren V. President Frances Norton Secretary Madeleine Amsden Treasurer Ruth Van Campen With thoughtful organization and careful execution, a variety of programs has been presented to the club. Each member in serving her fellow members has given freely of her time and effort, thus enriching the experience of all. The social side of our natures has not been neglected. Recreation, fellowship, and genuine pleasure have been enjoyed by faculty and student members alike. Well fixed in our memories is the Saturday that we spent at West Dennis as guests of Miss Hill. On January twenty-fifth, a program consisting of reports on three new books on education, travel, and humor was presented to the college. Each girl has displayed a whole-hearted interest in the club, and in no small measure has gained not only information about books, but also closer connections with friends and faculty advisers.

IN OUR LENDING LIBRARY Library Club has been privileged to bring before the college through the medium of the Book of the Month Club books which individual students might find too ex- pensive to purchase. Among the books received from this source is Henrik Van Loon ' s Geography , a book of tremendous importance, not only to those students personally interested in geography, but also to those who are curious about this world of ours as that small, dark object entirely surrounded by space. For the lover of drama, there is the book, Play Parade , a collection of plays by Noel Coward, containing such sparkling hits as Cavalcade , Design for Living , Private Lives , and Bitter Sweet , all of which have come to the public by means of the stage and screen. There is a delightfully refreshing introduction by the author, in which he states his reasons for consenting to publish this volume of his representative plays. A challenging novel of timely interest is Little Man, What Now? , a human story of a German family faced with the problem of adjustment to the economic upheaval the whole world is experiencing. These are but a sample of the wealth of literature we are fortunate to own through the co-operation of the Book of the Month Club. 105 1934 ALPHA FRENCH CLUB LE BUREAU DU CERCLE FRANCAIS La Directrice Miss Edith Bradford La Presidente Lucienn e Galipeau La Vice-Presidente Bertha Dymowska La Secretaire Olga Anderson La Tresoriere Mildred Boucher La Bibliothecaire Claire Cook Le Reporteur Marion Wanelik C Commencer avec un pique-nique a Carver ' s ou les lettres du rouge gorge ont ete lues.

President Evelyn Davis Secretary Loretta McHugh Treasurer Ethel McEnelly Executive Committee Chairman: Evelyn Davis Dorothy Shaw Dorothy Pi lote Muriel Lane Another eventful year for the Topics of the Day Club, the youngest club in the College! Beginning with the first meeting in September, when old and new members were welcomed; the club set forth to make this year better than either of the two preceding ones. New ideas for the meetings were introduced. The most popular type of discussion was explaining timely cartoons and their relation to current events. At another meeting, the topic, The Recognition of Russia by the United States, wastreated as a socialized recitation with one member of the club leading discussion. The club again sold tonic and soup, and this business was made a success by the cooperation of its members. With some of the money received from these sales, the magazines Time, New Outlook, and Literary Digest were purchased for the Lib- rary to be used by members and others interested in current news. At Christmas a sum of money was contributed to the Welfare Fund of Bridgewater to be used for the needy. But perhaps the most thrilling experience of all was winning the banner for the best float at Mardi Gras. This float consisted of a large wire globe with the contin- ents in silver carried by four members representing President Roosevelt, Premier MacDonald, Chancellor Hitler, and Mussolini. It was decided this year to send delegates to cover timely lectures on significant world affairs in which there is some active interest. Following out this plan, three members attended a lecture given by Dr. Blakeslee at the Copley-Plaza on February 3, concerning the Far Eastern Question. Reports on this were then given at a later meeting. This proved to be so worthwhile that the club hopes to send other delegates to future lectures. 108 ORGANIZATIONS c% Cs f$ Row A — L. West, L.

With these new and interesting experiments already in use Topics of the Day promises to become one of the outstanding clubs of the College, and to be recognized as one offering unusual educational advantages to all students. Loretta McHugh If you had attended the meetings of Topics of the Day you would have discover- ed that: We all turned rebels at the time of Cuba ' s revolution: A lively campaign was carried on in connection with the local and national elec- tions; We did our best to cooperate with Congress by discussing the leading personalities and the many problems they have to face; In a debate we decided in favor of the NRA; We left the question, Where are the Affairs in the Far East Leading? still un- solved at the end of one discussion ; We indulged in a cartoon meeting in which everything was discussed from a Women ' s Current Events Club that had talked over every country and was obliged to turn into a sewing circle for lack of further material, to Roosevelt and his stormy seas; Theoretically we tried to settle affairs in Austria, but perhaps the Austrians went on their way oblivious to this fact. And so we hope to continue our discussions and settle at least to our own satis- faction, the topics of the day. Ruth Henry 109 1934 ALPHA LYCEUM President George Jones V. -President Harvey Cadwell Sec. -Treasurer Harold Brewer The Lyceum had as its purposes for 1933-34 the discussion of current events, the carrying on of worthwhile activities, in which all members participate, and some debating and special reports. Topics suggested for discussion were along economic and political lines. Re- cently the question When and Where Will the Next War Be? was discussed. What Will You Do If War is Declared? and War Versus Peace , are other topics suggest- ed. The Roosevelt administration also drew to the center ' of the field of attention. The Lyceum expects participation by its members in discussion of world problems for it is only in this way that the club can fulfill its major aims. Harold Brewer, Secretary. From the Lyceum Forum — War: No war ever does any good and all wars do much harm. A majority of the mem- bers of this Lyceum declare that they will never take part in war. Students all over the land join us in this pledge. Groups of citizens on all sides are taking the same stand. It is the government, not the people, which we must blame for war. Governments make war; people do not. And wars will stop when people refuse to support the governments which make war. It is for us to say that this day has come in America. School budgets: The results of a debate by members of Lyceum on, Is the Compulsory Budget System the Best Way of Financing School Activities. was announced to the stu- dent body in the following note, The affirmative wins. The vote was two to one. The committee was composed of two women and one man. Respectfully, George Durgin. 110 ORGANIZATIONS Row 2 — R. Cook, K. Coombs. Row 1— Mr. Kelley, A. Wood, P. Hill. MEN ' S CLUB President Alfred Wood V. President . Paul Hill Secretary Raymond Cook Treasurer Kenneth Coombs The Men ' s Club has been very successful in all its undertakings this year. The year was started with a banquet at which the Freshmen acted the dual part of entertainers and waiters. Our guest speaker of the evening was Dr. Scott. The next big event was Amateur Night, which proved to be a success socially and financially. The men of the college worked together to put on a show that will long remain in the memory of the audience. Who could forget the Senior men ' s burlesque? The Men ' s Club Dance under the direction of Alfred Wood was another success. One of the most important public appearances of the Club was its production, with the guiding help of our director, Miss Moffitt, of the comedy The Arrival of Kitty. A movement in the school that interested the Men ' s Club more than any other is the attempt to make our proposed athletic field ready for use. It is much needed. We feel sure that if the other organizations in the school will work faithfully toward it, it will in a comparatively short time become more than a dream. Raymond Cook, Secretary 111 1934 ALPHA SCIENCE CLUB President Chauncey Copeland V. President Marie Johnson Secretary Ruth Koss Treasurer George Higgins This year Science Club has broadened the field of its interests to include many branches of the lesser known sciences. This has been done mainly by the many and varied speakers which have been a feature of the meetings. Also, the work has been extremely practical, dealing wi th science from the view-point of how we may apply it in our everyday life. One of the most interesting speakers was Mr. Lamprey of Boston Teachers College, who demonstrated how a balanced aquarium is set up, and who left a beautiful mo del which has been a source of much admiration all the year. He also spoke on the proper materials to select for an aquarium and the care to give goldfish. Another outstanding event was the occasion when Mr. Peabody of Harvard spoke on Heredity and Environment. Mr. Peabody is well known by most of the members because he has been to Bridgewater several times during the last two years; and because of the active interest he has displayed in Science Club affairs, he has been made an honorary member. Mr. Richter, a resident of Bridge- water, gave Science Club some very practical suggestions as to how a science teacher may supplement the textbooks by making use of local industries to teach the sub- ject. Also during the year, an alumnus of Bridgewater, Mr. Bartholomew Buckley, gave us an insight into a very different field of practical science. He is a taxidermist, and demonstrated with a beautiful cock pheasant just how the process of setting up a stuffed specimen takes place. Under the direction of Marie Johnson, chairman of the program committee, the meetings have had much variation. Besides the meetings devoted to outside speakers, we have discussed the formation of a Science Club in a Junior High School. We have become familiar with the projection apparatus which is used in the teaching of science, and have investigated some of the new books in the field, such as Paul de Kruif ' s Men Against Death . This last was presented through a splendid re- view by Mr. Sukeforth. Some of the meetings have been devoted to keeping up with the trend of modern science by means of reports on current events from such maga- zines as the Science News Letters. 112 ORGANIZATIONS t ft , a Jfit ,M a Row 4 — E.

The Club also plans to revisit the Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole. Last year we had a splendid trip combining business with pleasure, so that another trip is planned for the benefit of the new members and the further enlightenment of those who were fortunate enough to go last year. Here one gets an opportunity to see and to compare the living and museum specimens at the same time, as the fishing grounds for biological specimens are here, as well as a museum containing the preserved forms. Another project planned is a visit to the bacteriological labora- tory of some large city such as Brockton or Boston, where we can see the actual work of men of science in the field of bacteria, and their effort to protect the health of the public. This year because of the number of people interested in science, the membership was enlarged to thirty-five, a larger number than the club has contained for some time. The work has been well carried on under the presidency of Chauncey Copeland and has benefited by the helpful interest of Miss Graves. Ruth Koss, Secretary. 113 1934 ALPHA GARDEN CLUB President Patricia Holmes V. -President Audrey Tripp Secretary . - Mary Campbell Treasurer Anna Tripp In the early War days back in 1914, a group of Normals, as they were then called, were grafting apple trees in the greenhouse. Apparently they were interested in what they were doing in spite of the possibilities of cut thumbs, for when it was necessary to leave they asked if they might come back and do some more. They complained of the lack of opportunity and time for gardening work. Opportunity came in the form of Garden Club. Thus was the beginning of Garden Club, or T. C. as it is better known, although the meaning of T. C. is known only to members. And so, too, came the first aims of the club to promote interest in and increase knowledge of horticulture and agri- culture primarily in the State Normal School at Bridgewater. As our school has grown and is now the State Teachers College at Bridgewater so, too, has the interest in and the size of Garden Club increased. Because of this increased size and interest, an afternoon group was initiated to accommodate those unable to attend the evening meetings. If you should walk down Park Avenue in Bridgewater on the first or third nights of the school months about 6:30 o ' clock you would see small groups sauntering down the paths in the garden to the greenhouse. During the winter months when it is dark at that time, two bright lights shine towards the street — the headlights of Mr. Stearns ' s car lighting the way for T. C. members coming through the garden to a meeting. This past year, we feel, has been not only useful but interesting and enjoyable as well. At our meetings, after a short business meeting, talks on different phases of gardening or in fact on anything pertaining to gardening have been given by mem- bers. Then, before we did our actual gardening work Mr. Stearns very often brought out a large basket of apples, apples of every kind, color, size, and shape. This was an important part of the meeting. 114 ORGANIZATIONS ■ 3rd row— T. Westerling, D. Guidaboni, E. Tupper, E. Gillen, V. Bingle, P. Silvia, M. Chambers, C. Nash, R. Ryder, V.

Tripp, D. Clarner, O. Smith, V. Grenier. The type of gardening work depended on the season. In the fall we planted bulbs and made hard and soft wood cuttings and later planted seeds and then in the spring worked out of doors. The results of our gardening work benefit not only the members themselves but the whole school as well. Our work with that of the other students is used in the school for many and varied occasions. Garden Club members care for the plants and flowers in the auditorium. The T. C. chapel program consisted of a regular meeting including the dis- cussion and even the apples. The annual social was held in the spring. Garden Club was represented at the Mardi Gras parade with a float showing three Greek goddesses representing grain, flowers, and fruit — Ceres, Flora, and Po- mona respectively. Besides planting seeds and bulbs, making cuttings, and having their annual social, T. C. has enjoyed a bonfire supper and trips to various places of interest. Last year, too, we sent representatives to the Arbor Day exercises of the Old Bridge- water Historical Society. So, we really and sincerely feel that our time and energy spent in the Garden Club has been truly worthwhile and that T. C. has been a great success. In mentioning the success of T. C. it would be impossible not to mention how much of this has been due to the unfailing interest, enthusiasm, and help of our faculty adviser and friend, Mr. Stearns. Mary Campbell, Secretary. 115 1934 ALPHA . • , i- - - « « — -i««W t  , . ' . v , « «y    v- - . - ' to . . HOBBY CLUB President Carolyn Feindel V. -President Geraldine Saley Secretary Loretta McHugh Treasurer Olive Hosford Hobbies are treasures! With this idea in mind a treasure chest filled with hob- bies of the club members was the theme for the Mardi Gras float this year. A hobby surely provides a source of wealth and real adventure for anyone who pursues a specific bent or fancy. Today, more than before, hobbies play an important part in everyone ' s life. Wide- spread interest in this particular pastime has been stimulated recently by Philip Lord and his famous schooner, The Seth Parker . Tomorrow, with the ever in- creasing demand for leisure, hobbies will continue to function as a very personal part of oneself. Nor are members of this College unmindful of this fact. Hobbies from the col- lection of stamps to milk bottle caps, from coins to buttons, are represented within Hobby Club. Although each member has her own pet hobby, it is not confined to her alone. All share in the benefits of each other ' s hobby. Unusual and interest- ing information is contributed by the different members at club meetings, thereby creating enthusiastic and enjoyable talks throughout the year, — always different, always new, yet always valuable. At Christmas, members made toys and small useful gifts which were donated to K. P. Club for distribution among children in Bridgewater. Another worthy pro- ject carried out by the club was the completion of a set of dolls, which now represents different countries. These are to be used not only by the Hobby Club, but by any member of the College wishing them for exhibitional purposes. Enrichment of his knowledge about things in general is sought by every student. In what better way could this be accomplished than by learning interesting facts about otherwise commonplace material? Hobby Club offers this opportunity. Loretta McHugh 116 ORGANIZATIONS Row 3— A. Ginnetly, M. Wanelik, A. Houde. M. Caswell, H. Connell, M. McManus. Row 2 — D. Bearse, C. Golding, A. Tripp, A.

Much has been accomplished, because this year the program was systematically made out with a definite requirement for each month which must be met by everyone. By means of this, the members ac- tually learned how to do many new things in the field of photography; as a result of the year ' s work, they have a well developed hobby and a working knowledge of many of the fundamentals, upon which they can build in the years to come. The requirements consisted of learning how to develop and print a film, a successful indoor picture, how to make a satisfactory enlargement, a slide or blueprint, and lastly, how to color an enlargement. Members have been especially interested in freak photography and have been trying their hand at producing weird effects as well as reading up on the subject in a fascinating new book, purchased by Camera Club this year, called Photographic Amusements by Woodbury. The activities have been many and varied. We have had several interesting lec- ture meetings on the history of photography and the art of taking and developing pictures successfully. Mr. Huffington explained some of the larger cameras, and gave individual members instructions in using the graflex camera with which he takes most of the pictures of the college activities. I am sure that the members of the club will long remember the field trip during which each one painfully and labor- iously climbed the ladder with Mr. Denton ' s able assistance, to the roof of Boyden Hall to take a picture of the surrounding country. The social side of club life was not neglected as several outings were held during the course of the year — one par- ticularly memorable being at Parker ' s Homestead where Mr. Huffington fought gal- lantly to maintain his superiority over the feminine element in the game of slapjack. During the first term, the activities of the club were carried on under the able leadership of our vice-president, Grace Knox, while John Bates was out training. It was at this time that new members were admitted, the quota being limited to Freshmen in order to have a foundation to build upon next year. 118 ORGANIZATIONS Row 2— Mr. Huffington, W Quinn, M. Cassells, J. Bates, A. Brown, T. Westerling, H. Mears. Row 1— A. Athan, M. Campbell, N. Thibeault, G. Knox, R. Koss, M. Kelley. Camera Club was given a new room by Dr. Scott, in which to carry on its activi- ties — the physics laboratory in the administration building. This gives us a better chance for successful developing and printing of pictures because of a more suitable temperature than did the room which the club previously had in Normal Hall. Another inn ovation was a change in the time of meeting from Monday afternoon to Tuesday afternoon; evening meetings being held only when printing or developing is done. Camera Club owes much of its accomplishment to the wholehearted interest and guidance of its adviser, Mr. Huffington. r th K «; t SUGGESTIONS FOR THE AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER After you have learned the operation of your camera, there are but three things to remember that are necessary for good results: 1 — correct focus to assure sharp, distinct images; 2 — proper exposure to bring a technically good negative that will yield a clear print; 3 — good composition which makes picture pleasing to observe. Set the focus by placing the pointer over the figures in feet on the focusing scale nearest the estimated distance of the principal object to be photographed. The focus should be set at 25 feet for ordinary pictures; the sharpest part of the picture will be the objects at that distance from the camera, but everything from about 15 to 40 feet will be in good focus. When the principal object is nearer or farther away than 25 feet the focus should be moved accordingly. In taking outdoor pictures with folding camera having double lens the 1 25 second speed and f.11 or 16 stop are recommended for ordinary subjects. With single lens folding cameras the 1 25 shutter speed and stop no. 1 are usually best. With box cameras simply make a snapshot for all average pictures. Snapshots should be made only with subject in sunlight unless Verichrome film is used. In taking pictures of rapidly moving objects use a fast shutter speed and a large opening, and do not get closer than 20 to 25 feet. Even with a box camera you can take moving objects by stand- ing so that the object travels away from or towar d the camera at an angle of 45 degrees. The simplest way to photograph interiors is to place the camera on a tripod or other rigid sup- port and make a time exposure by the daylight that enters through the windows and doors. The secret of success lies in controlling the light by raising or lowering the window shades so that the light will be as uniform as possible in those parts of the room that are to be photographed, and have the strongest light coming from behind the camera or from any one or more sides excepting that side of the room toward Which the lens is pointed. Use stop opening f.11 or 16 and exposure of from y 2 to 1 }•£ minutes varying with the amounts of light and the nature of the subject to be photographed. 119 1934 ALPHA SCOUTS Captain Miss Katherine Packard President Olive Britton V. -President Ernestine Reynolds Secretary Barbara Stockbridge Treasurer Virginia Prairio Revolutions occur in Mexico, in South America, here, there, and everywhere, but none to compare with the revolution which has occurred in the Girl Scout Club of the State Teachers College at Bridgewater — a re-organization towards finer and more advanced methods for the realization of the Girl Scout ideals in the work of the young women of the club. The first bombshell burst September 18 at the first Court of Honor meeting, when our new president, Olive Britton, told us of the possibilities of the work for this year. Just listen to these interesting things that were presented, so different from what the club has previously done: — Leadership Training Course to aid in starting and planning troops of our own. Camping at South Hanson or Cedar Hill to give us outdoor fun and education. Brownie Pack for those who enjoy working with the younger children. Excursions to study the functions of public utilities, such as police and fire sta- tions. Making of marionettes and presenting a play with them. Working with the town troop. When Miss Pope, Dean of Women, saw our plans and approved them, she agreed that we really had reason to be enthusiastic. Although we started so well, old man weather had disappointments in store for us, for our first event — a Supper Hunt , which was to be held September 21 at the sandpit — had to be indefinitely postponed. Rainy weather seemed to be sched- uled inevitably for the Thursdays we planned the hikes. The first meeting was therefore held September 28 in the Demonstration Room. All the above plans were laid before the group of girls present — among whom fresh- men were predominant. The course in leadership and the camping trips were most popular with the girls. It was decided to have meetings twice a month. A tennis tournament was planned at this meeting to be held October 3 after 120 ORGANIZATIONS -B. Ludden, O. Fuller, M. Bartelle, IV -H. Robinson, D.

Stockbridge. school — for those who were interested in this sport. The tournament proved to be a drawing card to quite a few members who played in spite of the cold day. The climax came with the camping trip to South Hanson over the holiday (Octo- ber ). About twenty girls started off after school Wednesday, October11, and land- ed at Camp Wampatuck about dark. Supper was cooked by the waterside — and did it taste good! After games and singing, the girls retired to the pleasant rooms in the Cottage . It didn ' t take long to get breakfast and clean up in the morning. And then the time was devoted to games, canoeing, boating, and hiking. Dinner came soon and after that, an interval of more fun before supper. A tired but very happy crew returned to Bridgewater soon after supper. November 2, our director from Boston, Miss Helen Potter, came to our meeting and talked with us about our leadership course, Tramping and Trailing , which would train us to be pioneer councilors in summer camps. November 14, Mrs. Edwin L. Pride, commissioner of the Somerville district, was our chapel speaker. November 16, Miss Elizabeth Fiske, director from Brockton, came to help us with our meeting, at which our course was really begun. The Girl Scouts participated in the Mardi Gras Carnavalesque held by the French Club, February 9. The float planned by the Girl Scouts represented Joan of Arc (the first real Girl Scout) with her banner leading the line of girls representa- tive of Scouting from the beginning. At the end of the year there was a grand wind-up, a weekend in which we used the knowledge we had gained throughout the year. This consisted of camping in the open, led by a representative from the state headquarters. Barbara Stockbridge, Scribe. 121 1 934 ALPHA K. P. CLUB President Elois Godfrey V.-President Ruth Rider Secretary Harriet Hall Treasurer Helen Robinson Kindergarten-Primary Club opened its year ' s program in October by welcoming new members. Our invitation party took the form of a supper hike. However, because of bad weather, we held our hike in the playroom of the Training School and ate our supper in the kindergarten. Later in October, two delegates were sent by the club to the convention of the Massachusetts State Kindergarten Association held in Brookline. The delegates visited several large kindergartens in Brookline and also heard a talk given by Mrs. Barnes, head of the Physical Education Department of the Brookline Public Schools. They brought back to the other members of the group many interesting and im- portant facts about kindergarten and its work. Seeing such intensive work being done in kindergarten, and also seeing the enthusiasm of the members of the Asso- ciation, strengthens our faith in the great value of kindergarten. The meetings of November and December were given to collecting, repairing, and making gifts for the needy children of Bridgewater. At our last meeting in December, we wrapped our gifts and then held a simple Christmas celebration of our own, singing carols and telling stories. In January we devoted our two meetings to our float for Mardi Gras. Some of the February, March, and April meetings were given over to speakers who gave us much valuable information and enjoyment. The other meetings of those months we spent in reading and discussing educational textbooks concerning the kindergarten work. A study of this sort gives us a better understanding of kindergarten, its aims and its great values. In March, two more delegates were sent from the club to the Massachusetts State Kindergarten Association Convention. These delegates, as well as the two who went in October, brought back much helpful information to us. We plan to send a delegate to the Association for Childhood Education which is to be held in Swampscott, Massachusetts, in 1935. This association meets annually 122 ORGANIZATIONS Row 3 — Z. Mapp, L.

To raise money to pay our delegates ' expenses and to contribute our bit to the expenses of the convention itself we planned a bridge and whist party. As a way of completing a successful year ' s program we held our annual banquet in May. We hope that another year will see the kindergarten firmly established as a val- uable institution in the majority of the towns and cities of the country.

Twenty-one new members were admitted. A chapel program furnished the first appearance of the club, followed soon after by the concert program at Plymouth County Teachers ' Convention. As usual, Glee Club helped lead the singing of carols at the Christmas dinner, and in respect to a late memory dear to all of us, sang carols around the lighted Christmas tree near Boyden Hall, after the Old English Revel. Soon we were in the midst of rehearsing for the spring concert. Enriched by the distinguished playing of Boston Symphony artists, the program proved inspira- tional as well as pleasurable. With talk of graduation came active preparation for music at Baccalaureate and Commencement exercises. With the coming of June, we are regretful for the loss of our graduating mem- bers, and hopeful for another successful singing year. Madeleine E.

Bates Secretary George Jacobsen Librarians Francis Moran Harold Brewer When Alpha makes its second appearance, the history of the Men ' s Glee Club for the school year 1933-34 will have been concluded, the story of another attempt on the part of the men to accomplish something of worth. At the time of this writing the prospects for a creditable concert in April are favorable. The weekly rehearsals of the Club have been well-attended. The Male Quartette, composed of Gene Higgins, first tenor; Donald Welch, second tenor; Raymond Cook, first bass; and J. Sayward Bates, second bass; is still in great favor. It is quite possible that a double quartette will be formed under the guidance of Miss Rand. We most sincerely hope that the Senior members of our organization will possess after their graduation the memory of a splendid concert presented by the Men ' s Glee Club.

Before 1926 it consist- ed of whatever instruments happened to come along. The members played occas- ionally, but there was no definite organization and no regular rehearsals were held. In September, 1926, several students entered who played instruments, and much interest in music was shown. We may say that the present orchestra had its re- vival , as Dr. Boyden liked to call it, from that date. At first, with only forty dollars, three instruments were rented — double bass, valve trombone, and clarinet. Within the next two years those three instruments were purchased, and a French horn and drums were received as gifts from the Alum- ni. In 1929, the graduating class presented the organization with a gift of one hun- dred dollars which was put toward the purchase of a viola. Since that time a cello, flute, four clarinets, a trumpet, another trombone, and a mellophone have been added. Regular concerts were held March 8, 1929, January 19, 1930, April 4, 1930, April 1, 1932, with Walter Smith as trumpet soloist, and March 10, 1933 with George Aber- crombie as piano soloist. In 1931 no concert was given by the orchestra, so, with the money provided by the budget, the orchestra hired the Tolleson String Quartet to put on a program. This was held May 19, 1931, in the afternoon, that it might benefit the entire student body. This year has been especially significant in the history of the organization for, for the first ti me, the orchestra started work with a constitution provid i ng for defin ite student officers to receive points according to the ruling of the Student Co-operative Association. The officers — the student director, assistant student director, secre- tary, librarian, and assistant librarian — carried on the work under the supervision of Miss Rand. In former years a board of directors, a secretary, and a librarian were chosen to aid the conductor, but the present system of organization has proved to be more efficient and will doubtless be used in the future. The orchestra played at the inauguration of Dr. Scott, and assisted the Dramatic Club in November and the Men ' s Club in January. The concert was given March 9, with John Percival as guest soloist. In April the organization accepted the in- vitation of the Bridgewater Alumni Association and played at the biennial luncheon in Boston. 130 ORGANIZATIONS Standing— L. Standish, M. Scott, T.

For that reason, even those who have had little or no experience with various musical instruments have been urged to become acquainted with them. At the present time students are practicing on two trombones, one cello, and one flute, and these students will be added to the regular orchestra as soon as they are ready. Thus the orchestra, under the able direction of Miss Rand, has attempted to serve the student body and to prepare teachers to carry on effectively instrumental work in the public schools. „ .. ,, _ Ruth Van Campen, Secretary Conductor, Frieda Rand Officers Student Director, Olive Smith Assistant Student Director, Thomas Michelson Secretary, Ruth Van Campen Librarian, Doris Clarner Assistant Librarian, Francis Moran Personnel Violins Viola Standish, L.

A. A. a forward stride was taken in bringing Advisory Board closer to the members of the Association at large. A council of leaders representing all divisions was formed. This council meets with the Advisory Board once a month, the members keeping their respective classes in touch with the measures discussed and enacted there. The fall sports were well attended in spite of the fact that the number of dormitory students has greatly decreased, and Ruth Davis did much to liven up the lower campus with sports pro- grams on Saturdays. W. A. A. was represented at the Athletic Conference of Massachusetts Teachers Colleges, held at North Adams this year, by President Louise West, Audrey Tripp, and Ruth Cronin, who were accompanied by our faculty advisers, Miss Decker and Miss Caldwell. The topic of discussion this year was, Should Low Scholarship Prevent a Girl from Participating in Athletics and Re- ceiving Points. The Advisory Board Hike, though it took the form of an automobile ride, owing to unfavorable weather conditions, nevertheless served to whet never delicate appetites for the attractive supper around the fireplace at Parker ' s on November sixth. At our Winter meeting, Miss Elizabeth Leavens of Boston introduced to many, and recalled to others, the fun and value of camping. At this meeting also Louise West was chosen to represent W. A. A. in the contest for Queen of the Mardi Gras. Harriet Hall and her committee earned com- mendation for their execution of the head of Helen Wills Moody for W. A. A. ' s float at the affair. Revision of the point system and the question of automatic membership in W. A. A. upon en- trance to the College occupied conspicuous places at Advisory Board meetings, and a panel dis- cussion of the two questions was a feature of the Spring Meeting. The Dance Group , made up of girls who have attended dancing classes and participated ac- tively in dancing for a year, was organized this year through the influence of Esther Leppala, Act- ing Head of Dancing, and Esther Lindbergh, Head of the Constitution Committee, to whom Miss Decker lent much time and energy. The Group now has a separate constitution but is under the jurisdiction of W. A. A., its purpose being to assume responsibility for ail programs such as those given in chapel, at Campus Carnival, and other public performances. W. A. A. ' s long desired cabin which would be the goal of supper hikes and camping trips seems to be coming a little nearer realization. There is a committee investigating suitable sites, and several offers of the use of land have been made. If the enthusiasm of the students is great enough we may expect to see the plans and work of building the cabin undertaken in the not too distant future. Mary Crowley Corresponding Secretary 135 1934 ALPHA N. A. A. COUNCIL President Donald Welch V. -President Owen Kiernan Sec. Treas Charles Ahearne The N. A. A. Council which is made up of officers elected by the entire N. A. A. body and managers of the various varsity teams, enjoys complete control over the business affairs of the organization. This body, through wise use of the funds, has covered all outfitting and operating expenses of the varsity teams, while at the same time adding substantially to a fund being set aside for the construction of an ath- letic field at B. T. C, for want of which, varsity athletics have been severely handi- capped. The Council and the association as a whole look forward to the time when such a field will be an actuality. I n the latter part of the Fall of 1933, N. A. A. sponsored a Boys ' Sport Day on the lower campus. Invitations to participate were sent to many of the Junior High Schools in this section of the state, especially to those schools in which any of our students enjoyed their outside training. Many schools accepted and a large group of youngsters received beneficial instruction and enjoyment from the various games played. Perhaps the greatest triumph enjoyed by the N. A. A. was the huge success of the formal dance held on the evening of February 3 in the gymnasium. N. A. A. wishes to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Kelly and the council for their efforts to establish N. A. A. as an active worthwhile College organization. John Glenn 136 ORGANIZATIONS BASKETBALL Captain Joe Morey Manager. . . Earl Sukeforth With the return of three veterans, Kiernan, Olenick, and Bradbury, and our Cap- tain, Joe Morey, prospects for a successful season appeared bright. Contrary to the usual custom, Captain Joe Morey did not coach the team because of other duties, and the services of Joe Teeling were secured to whip the team into shape. We started the season off with a bang by defeating Nichols Jr. College and As- sumption College in two hotly contested affairs. The old saying, A good start means a poor ending , proved true in this case. We lost a very close and thrilling game to Harvard J. V ' s, lost to Assumption, and another to Harvard Jayvees. In our biggest game of the year against our greatest rivals, we put forth every effort to win as we wanted to bring back the coveted Harrington trophy. It was a great game, but the up-staters were too powerful and we were taken into camp again. Although the season was not a huge success, all blame cannot be placed on the players. Lack of practice time allowed the varsity team is mainly responsible for the rather poor showing. Ahearne and Capt. Morey did great work at guard with Bodwell also displaying some real talent in this berth. Olenick, our high scoring forward, Kiernan, and Long did well at forward, while the veteran Bradbury turned in his usual good game at center.

Callahan, also playing the managerial role, arranged a large sched- ule including many of the best teams in the east. Home games were enjoyed in this sport on our own tennis courts, giving everyone a chance to see these players in action. Our team took victories from Northeastern, New Bedford Textile, Bryant Stratton, and many others, displaying exceptional ability and brilliant rallying in taking these matches. Nearly all of last season ' s veterans will be on hand when the Spring season of 1934 gets under way. If pre-season predictions are of any value, we predict an even better season this year. Mgr. Callahan has arranged another large schedule that is bound to tax the ability of our fellows to the utmost. The players are bubbling over with enthusiasm and can hardly wait for the courts to dry out enough to start practice. Captain Moran of this year ' s team promises to develop a fast traveling outfit. The schedule includes games with the following: Assumption College (two games); Moses Brown; Harvard Jr. Varsity; New York State Teachers College at Albany; New Bedford Textile (two games) ; Bryant Strat- ton (two games); Boston College; Fitchburg Teachers; Providence College; Nichols Jr. College; M. I. T. Jr. Varsity; Keene Normal, Keene, N. H.; Brockton Y. M. C. A. SOCCER Captain . . . John Nolan Manager . . . Harold Brewer The soccer season of 1933 was not a banner one because of the size of the schedule. Very few games were played, resulting in almost total lack of interest. However, candidates were called out at the opening of the Fall term. A small number re- ported and Coach Nolan developed them into a smooth working unit. In the first game of the season, we went down to defeat at the hands of Fitch- burg Teachers. The team showed lots of power and the upstaters had to battle every inch of the way to take the game. Soccer has, in the past, been one of our major sports but through inability to find opponents, it seems to have been relegated to a minor berth. We cannot allow this to happen and plans are under way for a bigger and better schedule for the season of 1934. Let ' s make it successful. 138 ORGANIZATIONS Back Row F. Fanning, M. Alpert, C.

BASEBALL Captain Charles Ahearne Manager Frank Fanning The season of 1933 was a successful one as our club won fifty percent of its games. This achieve- ment is all the more remarkable when we consider the very short and inadequate schedule pre- sented for the season. Interest, therefore, was curbed considerably and undoubtedly affected the spirit with which the players entered into the contests. Our team was highly respected by all opponents because of our long list of heavy sluggers who became known as Murderer ' s Row . These men, Capt. Charles Ahearne, Jack Glenn, Eddie Welch, Joe Teeling, and Joe Morey were all members of local Old Colony League teams during the summer season. The hitting of Peterson, Kiernan, and Bradbury gave additional punch to the team ' s offensive power. Defensively, the club was second to none in local college ranks. Lack of good hurlers was our greatest handicap, but Nickerson proved himself fairly capable. Perhaps our greatest achievement of the season was the terrific battle which we waged against the powerful Rhode Island State pillchasers. We were defeated by the score of 8-7, but as R. I. was defeated only once all season, we proved that we were to be respected by any college in the east. This season of 1934 is going to be a banner year as far as the pre-season outlook is concerned. We lost only one veteran of last year, Eddie Welch, although in losing him, we lost one of the best ball chasers of the district. To offset this loss, Fred Meier, of Boston College fame, is to be a candi- date for the catching berth. His presence will add greatly to our strength. New hurling ability, which was our chief handicap last year, seems to be abundant this season. New hurlers of whom much is expected are Whitcomb, Long, Stewart, and Westgate. There are many others who may develop into winning pitchers, also. Something never before attempted by a B. T. C. team is all arranged for this coming season. A week ' s southern trip has been secured by our live-wire manager, Frank Fanning. The trip sched- ule as outlined by the manager is as follows: April 16 — State Teachers College at Bloomsburg, Penn. 17— Mount St. Joseph ' s College at Baltimore, Md. 18 — Augusta Military at Fort Defiance, Va. 19— State Teachers College at Shepherdstown, West Va. 20 — Greenbrier Military at Lewisburg, West Vir. 21 — State Teachers College at Trenton, New Jersey Our manager has also arranged a home schedule which will tax the power of our team, but under the capable leadership and coaching of Charlie Ahearne, we should emerge victorious. The home schedule is as follows: April 28 — Assumption College at Worcester May 5 — State Teachers College at Albany, New York 12 — Harvard Jr. Varsity at Cambridge 19— Fitchburg Teachers College at Fitchburg, Mass. 23— Holy Cross Freshmen at Bridgewater 26 — Rhode Island College of Pharmacy at Providence June 1 — Nichols Jr. College at Dudley, Mass. 1 — Moses Brown at Providence. 139 1934 ALPHA 140 1934 ALPHA PROSE OUR NEW PRESIDENT At the opening of the current school year, eager eyes were turned towards the man who had been chosen as the best fitted to continue the high type of work which was interrupted by the death of Dr. Arthur Clarke Boyden. Our new president, Dr. Zenos Scott, has been with us almost a year. Our needs have become his needs. Quietly and thoughtfully, in many details, changes have been made which show Dr. Scott ' s interest in the health and well-being of the students. Each one of us feels that we are his friends. Doctor Scott ' s remarkable faculty for remembering names and faces makes the students the more aware of this friendship. Dr. Scott is an all-around man, socially, physically, and educationally. Possessing knowledge and experience gained only after years of study and ministering, our president makes no undue display of his wisdom. A student never feels inferior in his presence; yet every student holds him in high respect. He has a task of which we know he is proud. May he be granted a long and rich life so that he may influence the lives of countless students who will pass from these doors into a world which needs knowledge and understanding. Mildred Moren OPPORTUNITY IN CRISIS These things shall be — a loftier race Than e ' er the world hath known shall rise With flame of freedom in their souls, And light of knowledge in their eyes. — J. A. S. In a chapel talk one morning Dr. Scott was drawing conclusions from a few facts about educa- tion in the economic crisis. Gradually I became aware that as he spoke of these naturally somber matters they were permeated by a ray of hope, — hope inherent no doubt in the facts, yet receiving vitality from the speaker. A glimpse of the spirit of the college, it almost seemed: president and students looking at the world with the eyes of youth. It was a little vision I want to remember. This question of what the economic crisis is doing to education is much misunderstood. In the first place, many people do not realize that anything is happening at all. Some teachers probably think that the chief result of the depression in their field is a sometimes late and usually thin pay envelope. Evidently thay have not read H. G. Wells, who in predicting the future says it is a race between education and catastrophe. Even more observing people do not know what it is that is happening, or what part they are to play in it. They stand around with hands in pockets, whistling to keep up courage in the dark. Somebody should open their eyes, for these are days of destiny and destiny is plastic. It is especially necessary to defend any statement opposed to the popular notion that whatever the depression does to education will be detrimental. Yet I here say that any such results should be temporary and relatively insignificant. That is not to forget that two thousand schools are closed without funds, that in April a million children will begin a long vacation of necessity, or that more than two hundred thousand teachers receive less than what would be Blue Eagle wages. It is, however, to be noticed that the schools are suffering more from their own weakfounda- 142 PROSE tion than from the outside attack, and that the retrenchment policy is not generally warranted, but caused simply by Big Business interests opposed to public education. When we consider how the Strayer Survey in Chicago showed greater savings possible in departments where public service would not be crippled than were possible in the schools, or when we realize how an aroused public will deal with offenders against the welfare of children, we must gain hope. Let the series of news-spreading, issue-clarifying conferences recently held in Detroit, Hartford, Birmingham, and Washington be continued, let unified action result in an instructed Congress, let an obsolete financial system be revised, and in a few years we shall have profited by the whole experience. The true issues at stake strike deeper, on the other hand, than the foregoing considerations. The real problem is a matter of principles, and deals with the larger forces which are usually vague and meaningless in our thoughts. One authority in the field of education, thinking along such lines, remarks that a result of the depression is that teachers will better realize that their calling is not so much a business proposition as it is a public service; think what this new point of view on the part of every teacher might mean! Then there is the yet more impor tant fact that the New Deal, if successful, must result in an advanced economic system where proper distribution of pro- ducts will be as efficient as their production itself now is, the whole situation furnishing a model inspiration for progress in the social studies. Again, standards of living raised to keep pace with the upward strides of technology should furnish a background for development of all sorts in a parallel enrichment of education in general. The total effect of such arguments as these may be expressed by saying that a more favorable environment should foster education in the era which will follow the present crisis, whose changes, another writer tells us, are exceeding those of the Renaissance. From the number of factors to promote education in the new era, we find one excellent example in the increased leisure which is upon us. Because of modern machinery with electric power to run it, because of the always increasing efficiency of skilled labor, because of adherence to the econ- omic principle that more leisure means more wants and eventually more business, because of the prevailing philosophy that man cannot live by bread alone but needs time for recreational en- richment, and finally because of the demand from organized industry for balanced living with work and play in proportion, — because of these things the hours men spend outside the shop and the office are bound to be more and more. Leisure is now, more than ever before, a name to conjure with in the field of education. Every- body should see at once that hours of freedom in the hands of our people not only give them new opportunity to learn but also present the necessity that they be well taught; yet for a deeper view we may go back to no less a teacher than Aristotle to be told the end of all education is training for the right use of leisure. The crown of our argument, however, is the common conviction of our county superintendents, as shown by a recent survey, that when the average teacher simply realizes the new importance of training for leisure , the teaching in our ordinary classroom will begin immediately to rise to meet the broader responsibility and the greater opportunity. Even yet we have not pointed out, however, the real spring from which education must drink the water of life in this crisis. No ideal environment, no matter how favorable in each of its ele- ments, can equal the endowment which an institution receives from the mere fact that it is need- ed, that there is a service which that institution alone can perform. Such is the happy state in which the cause of education now stands. The crisis is not waiting for the teacher to assume his role: whether or no t he knows it, whether or not he wills it, the hour is drafting the real educator for the service, be he in the profession or outside, orthodox or not in the catalogue. Without the usual label and without its name in any curriculum, nevertheless, the Tennessee Valley project undertaken by the government is, for ex- ample, a socialized experiment in education on a scale larger than we are accustomed to conceive. Then while plain necessity in one quarter is thus forcing the needed service to function incognito, men of foresight in the established institution intended for that service are elsewhere preparing to meet the need squarely. So in a practical way we find Virginia bearing up under the depression to make fundamental improvements in school curriculum, and on the inspirational plane we see the National Education Association offering new goals for the schools of the country. Yet ex- amination of such workings of draft and enlistment and in our looking beyond them to find the real pregnancy of the issue in the truth that, engaged by this great new service, education will grow in quantity and quality. As for quality, just begin by thinking of the youth, coming to us from years of childhood labor in factories; they are disillusioned: a program for them must have meaning. So for all the other classes, types, and temperaments in our land: education must meet their different needs, both group and individual. Furthermore its objective will have to be a social order creating the great- est good for all. To this end our teaching will deal with familiar and significant economic and social issues. Itwill really attack such problems as crime, distributive economies, and international relations. We shall value experiment and appreciate leadership. Teacher and student will shake off tradition and open their eyes. The education of a youth can no longer be a business of assembl- ing an ambition and boosting a career; it is a service of building a character and inspiring a life. 143 1934 ALPHA The air about us is charged with the making of these things that are to be. Students every- where are alert and responding; especially in college are people in earnest, preparing for the new day and their part in it. They read with a purpose and question with a challenge. Observing this, Miss Comstock of Mt. Holyoke concludes, Sweet are the uses of an adversity to education. Yet the new education which we have here considered makes one vital call. Only a healthy mind can teach another; only a rich personality can color another; only a noble life can inspire another: it is men must make men. Responsibilities focus therefore upon the teachers of the new genera- tion, — upon the teachers whom we aspire to be. To believe that the larger effort of greater teachers means the salvation at once of public educa- tion and democratic civilization is, for us, to make a new start in preparation for the calling which we have chosen. A start so made, here or in any other college, must result in the strong, noble, consecrated teacher who belongs to the new day. Only such teachers may give a higher growth to the individual and a new world to society. A creed for us, — there it stands. With hands laid warm up on the heart of it at this our mom- ent of crisis, may we take oath. George Alfred Jones. FRIENDSHIP Friendship ' s greatest gifts to life are understanding and encouragement. These qualities are manifested in true friendship by exceedingly simple means — a smile that gives cheer and hope, a faith that is never-ending, a word that acts as a stimulus to effort, and a heart and mind open to all, radiating sympathy and sincerity like the warming light of the sun. This type of friendship may be found in our new president, Dr. Zenos Scott, who from his first day with us has extended to all of his comrades in both the student and faculty groups the true meaning of friendship which may be stated in this crude yet meaningful verse: Friendship isn ' t just claspin ' hands And sayin ' how-do-ya-do; Friendship grips a fellow ' s heart And warms him through and through. Gunvor Henriksen WHAT TC MEANS TO SOME OF ITS MEMBERS TC has fostered my appreciation and gave me a better knowledge of the value and care of flowers. TC -- a chance to really know plants, flowers and nature— meetings spent in acquiring useful knowledge, evenings of merry comradeship. TC means much to me. Besides the contact with a congenial group the urge to work with green growing things is satisfied. A garden is always a fascination. Garden club increases and intensifies one ' s love of Nature and furnishes in- struction and knowledge of the raising and caring for growing things. The meaning of TC: — Opportunity — opportunity for growing things. To me TC means the opportunity of helping to make things grow, to create beauty and to understand nature and its work. Through TC we have an oppor- tunity to express ourselves through flowers and shrubs. 144 POETRY POETRY SPRING IN RANDOLPH A long straight road, a task to fill; A smiling face, a sturdy will; A little of love, sweet laughter gay;— A looking forward day by day,— And that is life. A smile, a blush, two throbbing hearts, A flaming arrow that Cupid darts, A sweet content, no thought of fear, A passionate kiss, an unshed tear,— And that is love. A broken heart, a faded flower, That waits throughout each passing hour; A moaning sob, a long-drawn cry, A wooden cross neath a hill nearby, — And that is all. Helen Robertson When it ' s spring in Randolph town, The whole world seems to sing, For then the flowers begin to bloom And beauty seems to spring I n every cheery warbler ' s song, In thriving little garden plots, In children ' s loving wild bouquets Of dandelions and Susan ' s knots. And somstimes in the sparkling hours Of April, May, and June The teacher flings her windows wide Each singing afternoon: — But best of all I love the nights When I can lie awake and hear The pollywogs down by the marsh Croaking, Spring -good cheer! Anna E. Ginnetty JUNE GLOW Dancing raindrops, morning dew, Golden sunbeams shining thro ' , Garlands of flowers wafting perfume, The air is atune with the windharps of June. Enchanting chords sound thro ' the trees, Of love they sing in many keys. Bessie Freitas There is little left to say After knowing death. There is so little pain to bear When we are deprived Of all that we held dearest. No storm, or fire, or wound Can pierce the dulled heart ' s silence Which once with thorns was crowned. Cecelia D. Gurhey 145 1934 ALPHA THE SEA AT DAWN October yet gives us a moment to dream While nature ' s in glory arrayed In a colorful mantle of purple and gold And flowers that too soon will fade. On the farflung curve of sandy shore O ' er looked by tow ' ring cliffs of white The billows roll in with a roar, And seething surf enveils the bight. To sing a song with the last singing bird; To look on the last blooming rose; To gather the harvest that nature yields Before the autumn shall close. Such beautiful dreams cannot always endure Yet in spite of the tempests that hover There still is a moment to linger and hope And seize that swift fugitive lover. So build thee a home in a faraway land Where the skies are not clouded but clear Where dreary cold winters can never arrive And the warmth of the sunshine is near. From chalky coast the azure sea Spreads till it meets in deep blue sky, At yonder sea-girt key Where surging waves foam-flecked tear by. The sun has cleared the farthest cape And scattered rays of light grow bold, And sifting thru ' the mist, escape To blend the blue with gleaming gold. Bessie Freitas And there through the days of the autumn In the nooks and the dells you can stray, Or lie on the feathery banks of the brook Where the coolest of breszes will play. So give me October, that languid October, Horizons in deep glowing red, When mountains and valleys are bathed in the glow, That from the vast heaven is shed. Helen Abbott September Warm table lamps glow cheerfully; The dorms are merry through, And laughter floats in happy halls As friendships we renew. The freshmen have their new-found rooms And soon with jolly air They ' re arm in arm with thoughtful friends Forgetful of all care. LIFE A pattern fine Of intricate design Life, true, Sometimes. A distorted scrawl No design at all Life, too, Sometimes. June The table lamps shine fretfully; The dorms are restless through, And sadness mingles with the joy For partings there are too. Now graduation time is here And now our goal appears And yet — we ' ve just begun to know How sweet can be four years! Ida Leino Anna E.
