2 DR. ZENOS E. SCOTT ALPHA 1935 PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF THE STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE BRIDGEWATER - MASSACHUSETTS VOLUME NO. XXXVII To KATHERINE CHIPMAN BOYDEN Wife, mother and friend The Class of 1935 In profound admiration and loyal fellowship Dedicates this book Katherine Chipman Allen was born April 25, 1852. After graduating from the Bridgewater Normal School, she was married in 1877 to Arthur Clarke Boyden. During many years in which Dr. Boyden became teacher, principal, and president at Bridgewater, Mrs. Boyden established and maintained a home which not only furnished a background for a singularly devoted family life, but also figured largely in the thought and affection of the school. We wish to express our loving recognition of Mrs. Boyden ' s ever-keen interest in all our college activities. Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. . . . Her hus- band is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land. . . ■ She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. . . . Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates. — (from Proverbs 31.) A LETTER FROM DR. EDWARD ALLEN BOYDEN To the Graduating Class of the Bridgewater State Teachers College: If this were not an especial occasion, I would still have responded to the invitation to write a few words for the Year Book — remembering the difficulties that once beset an editor of The Normal Offering, twenty-eight years ago. Out of those student days comes the memory of an anecdote about a certain cullud gem ' mun who finally had to be exhorted by the companion of his choice, in these words: Ike! Why don ' yo ' express yo ' self ! And I judge the problem still remains, even in a co-educational school. But this is an especial occasion, an opportunity to thank both the Editors of the Year Book for their gracious dedication of this volume to Mrs. Arthur C. Boyden, and the students and Faculty for the many kindly expressions of affection and esteem which have so enriched her life. I think it may be truly said that she has served this school faithfully for nearly sixty years. Indeed, no one who has not lived in an executive ' s family, can realize how completely an in- stitution can dominate the life of a family; yet, it is characteristic of her that she has wished nothing in return but affection,- and this you have given her in most generous measure. As an alumnus of the School, I too have much to be grateful for. Its influence upon me began in the grades — in the very first grade — when, on one tardy occasion, Miss Stuart sorrow- fully turned the picture of the soldier boy to the wall. From that moment on, I have had a strong aversion to being late. In the eighth grade, I came under the influence of another noble woman — Miss Burnell — whose uncompromising austerity, mingled with humor [and a genius for reaching a boy ' s heart, eliminated much that was irrelevant to the career of a student. In Normal School days (we had not then acquired the more pretentious label), there were many to whom I and my contemporaries owe a lasting debt of gratitude. But thinking of the period as a whole, I am impressed with two great capacities that it developed: First, it taught us how to work (a virtue that has grown no less significant after observing university students for thirty years); secondly, both its curricular and extra-curricular activities (athletics, debating, editorial work and social contacts) gave us an all-roundedness that has made life one great adventure, ever since. In closing, I thought you might be interested in knowing how two great teachers — seen in the perspective of the years — appear to one who was a student of each. If I were to pick out only one characteristic, I should say that the outstanding quality in my grandfather was his ability to stir the conscience of a student, to open his eyes to the abundance of riches that lay ahead of him. The quality in my father that impressed me most was the acuity and sensitiveness of his mind. You recall the story of the little girl who was asked to describe the founding of England, and her brief summary of this event: It was settled by the angles, the saxons and the jutes. The acute angles went North and the obtuse angles, South. His mind belonged in the first cate- gory. It was ever sensitive to all contemporary thought. From each student and teacher, from every human contact, he was continually learning. Thus he grew in wisdom and in youth- fulness, to the end. His education never stopped. If we were to return today, I think he would give you this message: As you go out into life, keep the windows of your soul wide open, and the light of the gods that ye serve will ever shine in your faces. This is a letter received from Edward Allen Boyden, class of 1907, in response to a request from the Editorial Board. Dr. Boyden is Professor of Anatomy in the University of Minnesota — an institution containing some 1 5,000 students in regular attendance. Its department of Anatomy is one of the largest and ablest in American Medical Schools. Dr. Boyden is starred in American Men of Science for his contributions to the knowledge of the structure and function of the human gall bladder. In addition to some fifty articles embodying scientific investigations, he has published An Atlas of Embryology which is widely used in Medical Schools. His work is threefold, consisting of teaching (Human Anatomy and Embryology), research and editorial work (as Managing Editor of The Anatomical Record, one of the research journals of the American Association of Anatomists). This interpretation which Dr. Boyden has given us should not be left without some mention of Miss Ethel Boyden who with her fine musical talent served our school directly for some years after she graduated from it, and serves it still by preserving the beloved Boyden home. Thus both son and daughter have carried on the Boyden tradition of service. FACULTY Zenos Edmund Scott, B.S., A.M., Ph.D., President, History and Philosophy of Education. Joseph I.

We are glad to be alive and working in our modern changing world. We are glad to have attended Bridgewater Teachers College. We are proud to have selected as our institution of professional training one so rich in back- ground, one with such fine opportunities for mental growth — for advancement in education and for education in education. We are pleased that we are privileged even in adverse economic conditions to attend college. We have grown intellectually and socially because of our con- tacts with the college, in regular curricula, in clubs, socials, athletics, and in personal contacts with our altruistic faculty. Ought we to dwell on the sorrows — our keen realization that we as underclassmen, had we known what we know now as seniors, would not have let slip those unhappy remarks, would not have done those unkind deeds, would not have neglected those things which ought to have been done? It was Horace Mann who, speaking of Bridgewater, said, Coiled up in this institution, as in a spring, there is a vigor whose uncoiling may whirl the spheres! It is interesting to conjecture how much our released vigor will exert whirling action after commencement. Can we ever repay our administrative officers and our class officers for their never-ceasing efforts to help us to higher and nobler achievements and attitudes? We thank them here, and pledge our best to pass on to those with whom we come in contact, something of what they have given us. Farewell to Bridgewater! We learned from thee to live our life so that every day we shall be of service. John S. Bates. 1935 ALPHA MARY ANNE ADAMOWSKA 84 Ellen Street, New Bedford. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3. Garden Club 2.

Let her speak, and whatever she says, Methinks I should like her the more. Although petite, Connie is surely able to hold her own in arguing — especially in history classes. She has proven to be a capable and conscientious worker. Because of her profes- sional and pleasant manner, we can prophecy that Connie will be a successful teacher.

Ruth, did you take down my notice? As chairman of the Bulletin Board Committee, Ruth expected this question at any time from individuals who just would forget rules and post notices with torn edges! To intimate friends she is known as a born teacher, a ready worker and sincere friend. Her pet pleasures are hiking, a good meal, and working in a certain Candy Kitchen.

And me so young! Every experience teaches her a lesson — one that she profits by. This undoubtedly accounts for her lack of qualms or worries, this girl whose hobby is bridge. If ever life deals her a hand of only one suit, you may be sure she won ' t bid 7 No Trump — experience is the best teacher! 16 CLASSES FLORENCE DUNHAM BURRILL 99 Fremont Street, Bridgewater.

May your sunny disposition bring you much success! EDNA MAE DELANEY 631 Brock Avenue, New Bedford. The knowledge of art is valuable to us, even though we follow another calling. Edna is one of the jolly transfers who came to us from Gor- ham Normal School in Maine. While t here she was very active in athletics and was a fine cheerleader — she has helped us in that capacity too. She always manages to find something humorous in any situation. If you don ' t think life is a succes- sion of hearty laughs, ask Edna. 20 CLASSES MARY Dl BARTHOLOMEO 22 Massachusetts Avenue, Quincy. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Topics of the Day 2, 3, 4. Hobby Club 4.

Our efficient federal agent (with apologies to the Psychol- ogy department) is one of the most popular young ladies in college. Ever is she greeted by: Have the checks come yet? or When are we going to get paid? But to many of us Dave is more than a symbol of F. E. R. A., she is a cheerful com- panion, a good sport, and a loyal friend. THELMA HASLETT Brockton Avenue, Abington. Topics of the Day 4. What strength there lies in quiet, calm repose! A flaunt of irony that brings a subtle poignance to her re- marks causes one to sit up and take notice of Thelma. She has tried all manner and means of transportation, invariably reaching Bridgewater, though often accompanying her arrival with Yesterday, I took to-day off!

Persuasive speech, and more persuasive sighs, Silence that spoke, and eloquence of eyes. Eleanor is the girl who surprises everyone. She is steady and studious, accomplishing much, and always ready with some remark, unexpected but fitting. My, how she rolls her eyes when she hears an odd name or the mention of good food!

In spite of our sincere admiration and love for Harriett, how we hated to see her coming with those little white slips in her hand! We much preferred seeing her in the ranks of the choir. We wonder who wi II do the honors with the baton next year? Harriett ' s standards of musical efficiency are envied, but ad- mired by all. GRACE ANGELA JACOBS 137 East Water Street, Rockland. W. A.

Two Irenes — one the serious, efficient leader, accomplishing things; very often forgetting her own problems in her enthu- siasm and eagerness to help others, . . . the other a laugh- ing, happy-go-lucky Irene who is the life of the party. An ideal combination, don ' t you agree? DEMETRA KITSON 58 Charles Street, Haverhill. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Tenni- quoit 1, 2, 3. Track 1, 2. Dancing 1, 2. Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Technique 3.

Gay, spritely, vivacious — for four years Demie has been a constant source of pep. Be it at a dance, in the dorm, or a class, she is always there to start things going. In spite of her cheerful attitude, she does not neglect her work — especially when her Wednesday night guest teaches her the mechanics of windows and doors. It certainly would be worthwhile to be a student of the personality girl. ENES LA GRECA 187 High Street, Taunton. Basketball 2, 3. Soccer 2. W. A. A. 4. Topics of the Day 4. From the crown of her head to the sole of her foot she is all mirth. Enes has a personality which we admire.

Elinor ' s success in the teaching profession has already been partially proven. She has been an efficient treasurer of K. P. Club and a capable secretary of Hobby Club. She is fond of interpretative dancing and dramatics, too. Elinor has little to say but we suspect that she is reserving her voice to use in her classroom.

Board 3. Bicycling 4. Talent, like beauty, to be pardoned must be obscure and unostentatious. Although Esther modestly tries to conceal her talents, they crop out now and then.

As for her specialties in art — ask anyone where she got her good-looking Old English nameplates — neat and clever, so characteristic of Helen. EILEEN WINNIFRED LLOYD 151 Chestnut Street, Fairhaven.

I am where I would ever be! She claims she is a sister serious but her snappy eyes and grin make us wonder! Her fondness for everything nautical has given her the title Skipper. She has a true love of people, a keen interest in sports, a zest for anything new, and a passion for honesty and naturalness. CLASSES MARIETTA ELVA LOTHROP W. A. A. 1,2, 3,4. 1 1 Central Square, West Bridgewater. Topics of the Day 2, 3, 4. A maiden never bold; Of spirit so still and quiet, that her motion Blushed at herself.

Here is a dear and true industrious friend. When Christine ' s name is mentioned, there is only one pic- ture that her classmates can imagine — that of a small, dark girl with eager, sparkling eyes, and the most friendly smile imaginable. We know that she will never have a dull mo- ment, for she is interested in everything with which she comes in contact — a characteristic which accounts for her high scholastic standing. 33 1935 ALPHA ELIZABETH MARIE MAYNARD Greenfield Meadows, Greenfield. Dramatic Club 4. Class Treasurer Pro-tem 3. A personality that leaves its imprint. Beth ' s optimism and bubbling enthusiasm can never be for- gotten. We regret that her time was so divided between us and her other duties, and we are anxiously awaiting the time when her book relating her personal experiences will appear. It should fill in the stories of her life which she did not have time to tell us. We wonder if it was in Denmark that she developed that unusual dramatic ability which she displayed in our Christmas play? DOROTHY HELEN McCANN 122 Garfield Avenue, Chelsea. Day Student Council 4. For my part, getting up seems not so easy By half as lying. Dot is one of our champion commuters. When it comes to getting up at 5 A. M. to start for school, Dot ' s right there. The wonder of it is that it doesn ' t affect her disposition either, for we all know that she has a grand one! Speaking of pa- tience — well, she knitted a boucle suit — need we say more?

Ruth Cronin History Father Time must be developing stream-line these days. Three short years since Bridge- water was an entire future; one year until it becomes a happy past. And now we are Juniors! This Junior year is an old story, we know, to everyone — except Juniors. For us — aside from being born, married, buried, or going to Europe — it is the event of a lifetime. Why, you ask? The answer is simple. But only those who have tucked their lessons and courage in brief cases, and gone out to face the unsympathetic world, a strange school system, and various assortments of America ' s younger generation will fully understand. We are — (whisper the word) — training! The new plan of having two semesters instead of three has affected Juniors. Now instead of three practice teaching periods, we have four, and, just incidentally, of course, nine weeks in a period in place of the usual twelve. Nine weeks, however, is quite long enough to discover those qualities of a good teacher in which we are deficient. Three weeks more and we would all have inferiority complexes! Our outstanding contribution to the social season this year has been the Sophomore-Junior Prom, the dance of the New Year which was such a social success. The Junior year — it ' s a year that is different. Vivid memories for the Seniors, hopes and apprehensions for the Sophomores, ideals (so we fondly believe!) for the Freshman, and new experiences and standards for us Juniors. We look forward to the time when the entire class of 1936 will be together again; to that momentous day of caps and gowns, when we, too, shall become Seniors!

Her sincere interest in younger children is one of the many qualities that will make her a fine teacher. 64 CLASSES Class Roll Candidates for Degree, 1936 Albret, Barbara 88 Brush Hill Ave., Milton Anderson, Elsie 7 Emerald St., East Bridgewater i Appleford, Eleanor 29 Burton Ave., Whitman Athan, Agnes 932 Kempton St., New Bedford Baptiste, Herman 75 Crapo St., New Bedford Barrows, John 316 Quincy Ave., East Braintree t Barsky, Belle 45 Windsor St., Roxbury Bearse, Dorothy Main St., Cotuit Blair, Clarence 36 Tremont St. South Braintree Bradbury, Wilfred 497 June St., Fall River Carr, Alice 30 Janvrin Ave., Revere v Casey, Paul 124 Central St., Rockland (XCassidy, Rita 101 Magazine St., Cambridge Chiros, Marguerite 65 Court St., Whitman Collins, Marie 929 Southern Artery, Quincy t Coulter, Carol 104 South Franklin St., Brookfield ' Cronin, Ruth 51 Glenwood Ave., Pittsfield Crowdis, Hazel 16 Randlett St., Wollaston i Cushing, Rita 37 High St. Pittsfield ,Cusick, Elizabeth 147 Kent St., Brookline Dacey, Isabelle 66 Putnam St., East Weymouth Davis, Ruth 99 Upland Road, Quincy t Dean, Natalie 255 Beacon St., Waltham DeLory, Norma 54 Stanton St., Rockland I Dillon, Florence 12 Georgia Road, South Weymouth Drinkwater, Anna 21 7 Winthrop St., Taunton t Edson, Dorothy 25 Overlook Terrace, North Adams Esau, Phyllis 45 Bryant Ave., East Milton V Eyre, Muriel 57 Savoie St., Fall River y Fany Carol Tilley St., Cranby i Faunce, Rebecca 105 North Ave., North Abington Flaherty, Ruth 30 Tapley St., Lynn Freeman, Mary 17 Nursery St., Whitman French, Gertrude 18 Wright St., Stoneham s Ganor, Veronica 44 Maple St., Randolph Gilliat, Margaret Wellfleet L -Gilmartin, Catherine 96 Glover Ave., North Quincy Golding, Charlotte 44 Tremont St., Campello Graham, Catherine 28 Granite St., Whitinsville Greenwood, Barbara - . 15 Linden St., Whitinsville Griffiths, Carol 40 Cocassett St., Foxboro Halloran, Alice 197 Bruce St., Lawrence Halzel, Lawrence 31 Deering Road, Mattapan Hayden, Edith 45 Ruggles St., Quincy Heyworth, Pearl 1255 Wilson Road, Fall River Hollenbeck, Marjorie 10 Third St., Onset Houde, Anna 9 Track St., Brockton Jennings, Ella Main St., Wareham Johnson, Adelaide Bay St., North Easton Johnson, Elsa 14 Jackson St., Attleboro Johnson, Everett 1 56 South St., Avon Johnson, Katherine 55 Bank St., Attleboro Jones, Frances 123 Blackstone St., Fall River Kelleher, Doris 12 Eleventh Ave., Haverhill ' ' Kelly, Daniel : 614 Maple St., Fall River Killory, Helen 130 Moraine St., Brockton Kovalchuk, Helen 70 Green St., Rockland Lafaver, Evelyn 42 16th Ave., Haverhill Lane, Rachel 15 Cushing St., Amesbury Larson, Alice 53 Martin St., Attleboro Le Bourdais, Marie - 271 Plymouth St., North Abington 65 1935 ALPHA Leino, Ida P.

T. C. as submissive Freshmen prepared for anything. We nobly survived initiation days with bibs, ribbons and ties, Blue Romper Day, and the sack rush, and soon settled down to business and social activities. The success of the Freshman party and banquet proved to us that the Sophs really were good sports after all. After the amusing demonstra- tion here of the ability of proposed class officers, elections followed. Then came the biggest social event of the year — our Yacht Party, with our new president at the helm. It was a novel idea and successful both socially and financially. We shall always remember how impressed we were with graduation, and the privilege we may enjoy but once of holding branches for the illustrious Seniors. Returning as Sophomores we felt every inch of our importance as we dictated initiation rules to the Freshmen. Mixed classes proved a new experiment for us and a challenge of competition for both men and women. In the fall we held a soccer social. Of course the Sophomore men were represented on the soccer as well as other athletic teams. In fact we held our own very well in athletics. The gala event of our social career proved to be the Sophomore-Junior prom — our first formal, held in January. As the year draws to a close and we realize that we ' ve all survived Training School, we whisper that perhaps we were meant to be teachers and anxiously look forward to two more glorious years as upperclassmen.

No. 2 Box 304, Middleborough Zeoli, Richard 294 Middle St., East Weymouth AUTOGRAPHS CLASSES FRESHMEN President Lawrence Hanlon Vice-President Florence Kuchmeister Secretary Eleanor Campbell Treasurer Magda Borgatti History September, 1934, ushered into B. T. C. many baffled and bashful students-to-be in bonnes and rattles (that were never known to help a teacher ' s disposition); also floppy green ties, and maroon and white caps, that failed to add to the Freshman dignity. For two weeks the Freshmen expected almost anything from the Sophomores. At the end of the second week an initiation party rewarded the virtuous Freshmen who had done as the Sophomores had ordered; the rest of us were duly punished and continued to wear our bonnets until we were entirely submissive to the upperclassmen. Next came the Sophomore-Freshmen sack rush. As ever, the Sophomores were victorious,- but our athletes proved to be real competitors. The class boasts that three of its men — Cush Cushman, Eddie Skahill and Lanky Nash — played on the varsity basketball team. The social life began with the successful teas given by the girls with the help of Miss Pope. Before the election of officers, the candidates spoke at the Freshman banquet. The ac- quaintance social was the first social gathering of Freshmen and upperclassmen. After the first week of January, President Hanlon took charge of class meetings, previously in charge of Ruth Lawton. The year passed very smoothly, providing an opportunity for the Freshmen to manage a successful social in the Spring. So ends the first year of college, with the Freshmen an active part of B. T. C, looking forward to the next three years.

Irene Kidd Vice-President Audrey Tripp Secretary Helen McGinn Treasurer Caroline Feindel YEARLY REPORT In every college there is, or should be, an organization which operates as a basis for all phases of student activity. The Student Co-operative Association, with every member in the college included in its enrollment, acts in this capacity here in the State Teachers College at Bridgewater. This organization, with the Student Council as a governing body, gives the foun- dation for all activities, and furnishes leadership for all the changes which come about through the co-operation of student body and faculty. In looking back over this year, can we find proof that this council has upheld its aim to work for the benefit of the students and the college? Let us look back into the year a bit — at the work of the standing committees. Our Bulletin Board Committee, by means of its new system of arranging notices, has succeeded in makin g the ma- jority of us more bulletin board conscious. Again we all realize and appreciate the success of the Chapel Committee in arranging a schedule which has proven most satisfactory during the year. Thank you, Miss Rand, for the great part you had in making our chapel exercises so en- joyable. Another group, the Library Committee, through its faithfulness in collecting fines, was able to add several new books to the shelves of our library, and make repairs on many others. Let us turn to another phase of work carried on by the Council. As business manager of certain student funds this body is invaluable. It is reponsible for the planning of the budget, and for the allocation of funds to each unit in the school, assuring to each its share of financial support. Perhaps the biggest venture in the business field during 1934-5 was the taking over of the college store. This transfer from private to student-body ownership for the purpose of offering school supplies at reduced rates is a splendid example of the type of assistance which the council strives to give to the students. Manager Stephen Lovett, his assistant Raymond Cook, and book- keeper Alice Carr, should be congratulated for their fine work with the store. Soon this under- taking should be entirely self-supporting. ORGANIZATIONS The influence of Student Council has been felt in other fields of activity on the campus. Our new basketball song which has added so much enthusiasm and spirit to our games this winter was selected by a committee appointed by Student Council. In April, for the entertainment of the students and to increase the auditorium equipment fund, the Council sponsored the play The Prince ' s Secret, given by the Clare Tree Major Players of New York. Many school children from neighboring towns accepted our invitation to attend this worthwhile performance. At Christmas time, although the fund was not as large as we had hoped it might be, Student Council was able to bring a little happiness and cheer to many of the needy in Bridgewater. In a note of appreciation to the council for the glasses which were purchased for her, one of the Training School children has written, Thank you very much for my glasses. They help me in my school work and I do not have the wicked headaches I used to have. Perhaps we should all say Thank you to the council in recognition of their fulfillment of the aims of the Student Co-operative Association during the past year. Helen J.

In spite of the rainy weather, Open House, perhaps the greatest event on our social calen- dar, was well attended by many parents and friends. , Alumni Weekend brought back many of our graduates, whom we were happy to have with us again. Throughout the year weekly sales of such things as ice cream, cookies, and hot dogs have been run successfully. During the Christmas season a sale of handkerchiefs and stationery was conducted with profit- able results. Probably the outstanding accomplishment of this year ' s Council was the extension of ten- fifteen permissions. Seniors still enjoy the customary one a week, graduating Juniors are now allowed three a month, other Juniors two a month, and Sophomores one a month. Freshmen are allowed one late permission a month provided it is used to return from home on a Sunday night. We hope that the Dormitory Council to whom we are leaving our problems will be able to progress even further than we have. We leave them our best wishes for success.

DAY STUDENT COUNCIL President Alma Foley Vice-President , Isabelle Walsh Secretary Anna Anderson Treasurer Claire Cook Day Student Council began its duties this year under its efficient officers. The commuters have joined enthusiastically, not only in the intellectual opportunities of the college, but in the social privileges as well. We have participated in many outside activities, as evidenced by our members on the athletic teams, and on club executive boards. New curtains, which greeted us on our arrival this fall, have added greatly to the apearance of the commuters ' room. We hope to have the domestic sicence room for a social room next year. Plans are being made to replace the domestic science equipment with comfortable fur- niture. Our social was held in January. We travelled to an ancient Persian garden via Albert Gard- ner Boyden Gymnasium. The refreshments and music enhanced the good time enjoyed by the group who attended. We are looking forward to an even more interesting year in 1936, in which many things, now just ideas, will materialize, and help in the development of the college.

SOCIAL ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE Chairman Secretary Audrey Tripp John E. Nolan Social Activities Committee is composed of the vice-presidents of the organizations in the college. Its primary function is to draft and enforce an efficient schedule of social affairs for the year. To begin the social season, the committee sponsored the annual Acquaintance Social, and followed with another social in October. The Alumni Tea Dance was also sponsored by the committee and was a highlight of Alumni Weekend. The supervision of noon-hour, Wednesday evening, and after-basketball-game dancing was another phase of the committee ' s work. After-the-game dancing was one of the innovations initiated by this group. We have enjoyed a very happy year, and hope that the efforts of the 1936 committee will meet with as much success. John E.

It brings to the college outstanding representatives from the fields of art, science, music, or from any field which may contribute to the enrichment of the intellectual life of the students. This means that the year ' s program generally includes a variety of subjects in order to satisfy the largest possible number of students. Our first speaker this year was to have been John Haynes Holmes, well qualified to give us a glimpse of the most serious social problems of the world. The engagement had to be cancelled but is to be fulfilled later. 82 ORGANIZATIONS Although we all have the desire to travel extensively, not many of us have been able to do so. Bronson De Cou, through his beautiful dream pictures, comments, and music, enabled us to take a Mediterranean cruise. With the breath of the south in our nostrils, we renewed our vows for a wanderer ' s life. The Clare Tree Major Players are not strangers to us and we were more than eager to welcome them back in Pocahontas. Not the least thrilling part of the excellent performance was the chance to meet and question the players after the play. In fact, so strong was the spell cast by the winsome Pocahontas and the stalwart John Smith that some romantic students could hardly be lured away to classes. Cornelia Stratton Parker was the final speaker of the first semester. Her topic, Travel versus a College Education is still the subject of much discussion pro and con. The majority felt that the lecture had little bearing on us, now, but that the faculty might have been spurred on to greater heights by Mrs. Parker ' s strictly impersonal, yet scathing general criticisms of college courses. With John Erskine, the noted author, Dr. Holmes ' lecture, and other worthwhile programs looming in the near future, Culture Fund Committee ' s work for 1934-35 draws to a close. Catherine M. Ross, Secretary. ENLIGHTENMENT A glowing golden jewel With five points twinkling, Set in blueness soft and cool, Tiny beams sprinkling Through the solitude of space. Yet they say: Stars are stones, aglow at night On earth cold and gray; Heat waves cause their sparkling light, Which so far away Resembles twinkling points. They kill each dream I cherish, Tear points off my stars. Hurled to earth both perish. Daylight shows they are Only flat lifeless stones. Alice Guilmartin 83 19 3 5 ALPHA 84 BUILDINGS DORMITORIES President Veronica Bingle Vice-President Isabel Totfy Secretary Barbara Greenwood Treasurer Marie Kelly Woodward Hall During the past year the changes which took place throughout the life of the college were in evidence in Woodward Hall. September found the housing conditions much changed, with some girls living alone and many empty rooms. However, these vacant rooms have proved advantageous, since they have provided the day students with the opportunity of remaining overnight when affairs are being held at the college, and also for those who wished to live in the dormitory while in Training School. The dorm store proved to be a very successful undertaking, being a convenience to the girls in the dormitory, and also giving them a chance to earn some money working there. The girls have enjoyed many afternoons painting chairs, sewing curtains, and washing win- dows so that the recreation room might be put in the best possible condition. Many new pieces of furniture have been added here and there in the dormitory. Also the traditional Venetian blinds have been replaced by window shades. Woodward was pleased with the enthusiasm which was shown at its second College Dance early in the year. This is the first year that the girls in Woodward Dormitory have not had the advantage of having our dean, Miss S. Elizabeth Pope, living with them in the dormitory. 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 in 1935.

A tea given early in October by our housemother, Miss Gassett, opened for us this year which will long be remembered by members of all classes. Early in November, Tillinghast, dressed in its best from reception room to third floor, presented a pretty sight to its many guests on that memorable day of Open House. It proved indeed to be a pleasant haven from the storm. Through the efforts of the girls on third floor, a very attractive radio room was arranged which proved to be very successful and very much appreciated. It was in this cozy little room that you found your friends during idle moments. Last but not least, what a change was marked in this hall when the landings were decorated so as to give them a more home-like appearance! For us time literally flew by, and it is with pleasant recollections that we look back upon this year. To the seniors now leaving us, we wish all happiness and success in future years and hope that they will hold Tillinghast Hall among their dearest memories. Madeline Connell, Secretary. 1935 ALPHA 88 ORGANIZATIONS TIT 19 3 5 ALPHA EXPLANATION OF THE ART WORK The decorative elements in Alpha carry out the theme chosen (or this year — that of the past contrasted with the present. The plate representing Student Co-operative Association, For instance, contrasts the past with the present in dancing, and that representing organizations contrasts the past with the present in activities as represented by the various clubs. The repre- sentation in the borders can easily be interpreted with the possible exception of the organiza- tions border with its gavel for the past and its swastika in honor of the newly formed German Club, and the literature border with its complex representation of the old, flowery manner of writing and the new, dynamic manner. In concluding this explanation attention must be drawn to the special feature of the art work — the picture of Boyden Hall in the front of the book — the contribution of Joseph Chicetti who made the block from which it was printed. APPRECIATION The Editorial Board of Alpha for 1935 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. 90 ORGANIZATIONS Standing — H. Brewer, J. Nolan, S. Morris. Seated — G.

It has made itself an outlet for students with tendencies toward journalistic ventures by publishing news stories, interviews, sports, editorials, and social notes. In addition, it has had for the 1934-35 season three objectives: improvement of appearance, a better written paper, and a more efficiently organized staff. To realize these aims our editor has supervised the consequent changes. The paper has been cut down to a more attractive size; title plates have been changed; and the white space increased by the omission of down rules to improve its appearance. That the paper may contain better written articles, the journalism class has coached reporters in news writing, and four delegates went to the Convention of Eastern Colleges of the Scholastic Press Association. The change in staff organization has been made so that a more equal division of work results — a necessity felt strongly in accomplishing the added work of biweekly publica- tions. It was logical that these changes should entail expenses and they did. These Campus Com- ment managed successfully by sponsoring the first social of the year, and a rally, the first in the history of Bridgewater sport life. 92 ORGANIZATIONS Row 4 — G. Jacobson, J.

For the first time in our history the men of the college have been invited to take part in our plays. For our fall play we presented Big-Hearted Herbert by Sophie Kerr and Anna Steese Richardson. The cast for the play was as follows: Herbert Kalness Clarence Blair Robert Kalness Dorothy Woodward Elizabeth Kalness Dorothy Gleason Martha Helen Robertson Herbert Kalness, Jr Everett Johnson Alice Kalness Ruth Davis Andrew Goodrich Hugh McLaughlin Amy Lawrence Cecilia Perkins Jim Lawrence John True Mr. Goodrich John Nolan Mrs. Goodrich Jane Carroll Mr. Havens Herman Baptiste Mrs. Havens Irene Kidd Also helping in the production were: Business Manager Ruth Mannion Property Mistress Virginia Cochrane Head Usher Elizabeth Maynard Stage Manager Elsa Johnson The play proved to be a great success in every way, and won approbation from everyone. The club attended a production of Big-Hearted Herbert in Boston before presenting it at the college. We also attended a Shakespearian play, Julius Caesar, given in Brockton by a travelling company of players. In November the club was invited to see Penrod given by Junior High students in New Bedford under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Foster, an alumna of Bridgewater and its Dramatic Club. It was given in an excellent manner and we realized how significant a part dramatics may play in school life. We departed from tradition and presented a novel chapel program in November in the form of slides showing characteristic poses of the cast for Big-Hearted Herbert. The President made appropriate remarks as each character was flashed on the screen. For our Christmas play, given in chapel, we presented Why the Chimes Rang by Alden. This play interprets the true spirit of Christmas in a beautiful and moving scene. The cast was as follows: 94 ORGANIZATIONS Row 2 — E. Maynard, I. Kidd, D. Gleason, H. Robertson. Row 1 — R.

Most of our meetings have been held at Miss Moffitt ' s home where we have spent many en- joyable evenings. The girls feel indebted to Miss Moffitt for her inspiration and help in dramatic work. For our annual spring play the club presented Mid-summer Night ' s Dream by William Shakespeare. Some of the parts of rustics were taken by men of the college. The club has voted to have a regular standing art committee to meet with them and take com- plete charge of the stage management. We wish much success to the future Dramatic Clubs of Bridgewater Teachers College! Elsa Johnson, Secretary. 95 19 3 5 ALPHA Row 3 — A. Tripp, C. Griffiths, E. Richwagen, F. Kuchmeister, M. Salo, M.

LIBRARY CLUB President Ruth Sullivan Vice-President Olive Fuller Secretary Eunice Perkins Treasurer Rita Cassidy This year the Library Club has been very successful under the presidency of Ruth Sullivan. Twenty new members have been taken into the club making a quota of thirty-four members. This reveals a decided interest in good books among the students. It is the aim of the club to present, not only to its members but to the entire school, an oppor- tunity to learn what is going on in the world of literature. During the past year, we have con- tributed to the school library the following books: Van Loon ' s Geography of the World, Brazilian Adventure, and Return of the Native. The lending library maintained by the club has been moved to a more prominent place in the main library and has proven to be very popular with the entire student body. In November, the Library Club was fortunate in having Mrs. Louise Andrews Kent as a speaker for its chapel program. She spoke on the subject The Stay-at-Home Author. The talk not only served as an inspiration, but gave the listener a feeling of greater intimacy with the author. One of the most outstanding events of the year was a trip to Boston to see Eva Le Galliene in L ' Aiglon. The members of the club have endeavored to plan for each meeting a definite program which would be both entertaining and cultural. They usually took the form of book reviews, oral read- ings, or a general discussion of authors and their works. Eunice Perkins, Secretary. 96 ORGANIZATIONS Row 3 — B. Rensi, H. Linehan, M.

TOPICS OF THE DAY President Dorothea Pilote Vice-President Belle Barsky Secretary Winifred Goodell Treasurer Marjorie Whitney From our first meeting at which we discussed the strike situation, Topics of the Day Club has endeavored to exemplify its object: the mutual improvement of its members through a study of the vital topics of the day. The executive board, comprised of the officers of the club and a representative from each class, has met between meetings and has planned such interesting programs as the following: talks by various club members, explanation of current cartoons, debates, and outside speakers. Besides having such programs at our regular Tuesday afternoon meetings, we continued working toward our aim in having Miss La Fevre talk to us on Foreign Affairs for our chapel program. Through the help of our faculty adviser, and the co-operation of the club members with the executive board, the end of this year sees the attainment of our goal, and we feel that we do know the high lights of this year ' s topics of the day.

Dr. Scott, Dean Kelly, members of the faculty, and superintendents of surrounding towns were our guests. Dr. Scott was the principal speaker. The frivolous freshmen provided a varied assort- ment of tricks which were officially called entertainment. Men ' s Club Amateur Night was presented as usual in the Horace Mann Auditorium. It consisted of two playlets: The District School, and The Sweet Family. All due credit should be given Miss Moffitt who was in charge of the production. We then sponsored a movie benefit, The Count of Monte Christo, shown at the Princess Theater. Our play this year was entitled The Charming Pretender. For the first time in the history of the Men ' s Club, women were invited to take part. We believe that this helped make our play the best ever produced by the club. President Cook has expressed his satisfaction at the large turn-out of men at our meetings. To add to the interest of the meetings, several excellent speakers have addressed us. Some of these speakers were Mr. Jenney, principal of Howard Junior High School of Brockton, Hon. James Warren, Superintendent of the State Farm at Bridgewater, and Dr. Scott, president of our college. The men of the college seem to be taking a greater interest in their club than ever before. This is an encouraging sign! But, it will take more than four officers to make our club take its proper place in the college. It will take the support of one hundred per cent of the men enrolled. Let ' s all strive to make the Men ' s Club an active part of B. T. C! Theodore Ehrhardt, Secretary. 100 ORGANIZATIONS MEN ' S CLUB OFFICERS ECSTASY (VICTOR HUGO) Translation I stood beside the waves, beneath a starry light, A cloudless sky, a placid sea with ne ' er a sail in sight. My searching eyes not with material things content Saw all of nature, from the woods to mountains ' height, That seemed to question in perplexed accents light — The dark sea waves, the starry breadth of firmament. Meanwhile the infinite starry hosts of gold that shone, And voices soft, that later rang with depths of tone, The answer spoke, the while their crowns of fire were bent; While waves so blue which nothing governed or could best, Said too, the while they tossed the foam up on each crest: It is the Lord, the God of Earth and Firmament. Caroline Feindel 1935 ALPHA SCIENCE CLUB President .... Ellen Shea Vice-President Raymond Nickerson Secretary Everett Johnson Treasurer Paul Hill Science Club is the oldest club in Bridgewater State Teachers College. It was first organized in 1885 by Frederick W. Atkinson and Dr. Arthur C. Boyden. To-day the club is working to accomplish the following objectives: (1) To aid in promoting an active interest in the study of Science. (2) To co-operate in all possible ways with the science department of the college. (3) To develop a better basis for the scientific training of teachers. Science Club restricts its membership to students having high scholarship and an active interest in science, as well as worthy school citizenship. Meetings are held weekly on Tuesday evenings at 6:45 P. M. in the biology room. For the most part, two types of meetings are alternated: one for transacting routine business and for the presentation of programs, and the other for interest group study in subjects in which the members desire to further their knowledge. The interest groups this year center around the following subjects: astronomy, geology, micrology, salt-water biology, birds, economic plants, and the teaching of science. At the beginning of the year a picnic supper was held at Pinehurst Beach in the cottage of Ellen Shea. Speakers at Science Club meetings this year were the following: Mr. George Jones, of the senior class, who told of his studies at the American Museum of Natural History in New York; and Mr. Edwin Whitmore, bacteriologist of the A. R. Parker Dairy Company, who spoke on The Science Behind Dairy Products. Other club programs which have been presented are the following: a lecture by Mr. Ross on Science in Child Education ; a Christmas program on the subject of plants associated with Christmas; and films on the topics Seashore Animals and Luther Burbank.

A THOUGHT— Splashing, dashing — Here, there, everywhere. Catching the sunshine Against scintillating fins — Playing with it, Tossing it back to the world. Idly swimming through stone castles. Nibbling — Rooting the pebbles Clinking them against the glass. Nothing of sadness, All is pleasure. Futile existence? For man, perhaps — But not for Goldfish. Caroline Feindel 1935 ALPHA GARDEN CLUB President Mary Campbell Vice-President Anna Tripp Secretary Wilma Quinn Treasurer Barbara Smith Another successful and pleasurable year (or the Garden Club has been concluded. Garden Club is better known as T. C. What do these letters mean? That is a deep, dark secret known only to its members! The aims of the club have varied, as has also the name of our school. At first the club was to promote interest in and increase the knowledge of horticulture and agriculture in the State Normal School at Bridgewater — now in addition, T. C. provides opportunities for work in the greenhouse, such as making cuttings, and other different phases of gardening. In view of the fact that a large number of the students became interested in this club, it was necessary that two groups be formed: an afternoon group, and an evening group. At present, T. C. represents one of the largest, best-known, and most delightful clubs in our college. A noted accomplishment, the wild flower garden, was started this year. As time goes on, this collection is to be added to and preserved by future members. Besides the regular meetings, our club has promoted several other activities such as trips to the Arnold Arboretum, the T. C. Social, bonfire suppers, and several other smaller social gatherings for its members. From an educational standpoint, this is a very beneficial club for numerous reasons. One ' s knowledge of gardening is greatly increased through experiences in the greenhouse; then too, enlightening talks on different phases of nature are frequently given by Mr. Stearns or some club member. The prominence and success of T. C. is due to the faithful and devoted work of Mr. Stearns. The members have broadened their interests and understanding by enjoyable hours spent under his guidance and supervision. Wilma Quinn, Secretary. 104 ORGANIZATIONS !

As usual, the club extended a hearty welcome to the new members who survived the ordeals of initiation. This year the club has tried to carry on worthwhile group projects, gaining new knowledge and having fun at the same time. The project of attiring dolls in the quaint costumes of foreign coun- tries has been carried on from last year. How much do you know about the making of a pencil? If you had been in Hobby Club this year you could have gathered some interesting ideas concerning the life history of a common pencil. What does a button mean to you? Nothing but a convenient fastener? Members of our club know the personality of buttons — cloth buttons, glass buttons, pearl buttons, metal buttons, and queer buttons! Many of these have been wired on large cardboards for display. Stamps, coins, and pencils were also attractively mounted. Another interesting event of this year was our trip to Horticultural Hall to see the Hobby Show. An inspiration to any hobbyless individual! Some of the hobbies of our members included interest in handicrafts, radio, quotations, horses, patchwork, poetry, postcards, stamps, and sports. Seniors! Be sure to reserve time for some hobby. Don ' t forget to build up a Hobby Club in your classroom! Elinor Lane, Secretary Pro-fern . 106 ORGANIZATIONS Row 2 — E. Holmes, E. Gilligan, B. Joseph, H. Linehan, M. DiBartholomeo, R. Lawton.

Thelma Haslett 107 1935 ALPHA CAMERA CLUB President Marie Kelly Vice-President Wilma Quinn Secretary-Treasurer Thelma Westerling Camera Club, this year under the guidance of a new adviser, Mr. Reynolds, has finished an interesting and profitable year. A systematic program with definite requirements for each month has been maintained. Consequently, every member has learned how to develop and print a film, how to take a successful indoor picture, how to make a satisfactory enlargement, slide, or blueprint, and how to color the enlargement. We hope that as a result of our year ' s work every member has, plus an interest in photography, a good working knowledge of its fundamentals. Members this year have been particularly interested in modern photography, perhaps on account of Mr. Reynolds ' enthusiasm for that phase of camera work. Different pictures taken from unusual places, the height, or the depths, or those taken with the camera at odd angles have intrigued us. We have tried to get unusual views of the campus and buildings instead of the common front and side views. The social side of club life has not been neglected as we have enjoyed several evenings at the home of Mr. Reynolds,- one was in the form of an initiation party for the new members which we are sure that they will never forget, another just before Christmas when we all fell victim to the current craze and played Beano for a whole evening! This was when we first began to appreciate our little freshman member, Joe Chicetti. The club this year admitted eleven new members, thus increasing total membership to twenty. We have been using Miss Graves ' room for printing and developing as it has the necessary dark curtains at the windows. Meetings are held the first, second, and fourth Thursday of every month. Camera Club was sorry to lose the patient, genial guardianship of Mr. Huffington, who gave so generously of his time and interest. We are very grateful to Mr. Reynolds for adding us to his other worries, and hope that we can match his vigor and enthusiasm, and live up to his ideals!

Girl Scout Club at Bridgewater — these words have a different meaning. They apply to a group of girls who have formerly taken an active part in Scouting, and who are still interested in it even though they are past the scouting age. Their program includes training for leadership and service in scouting. At the first meeting in October, plans for the year were made. They included suggestions for a campcraft course, a Christmas sale, and a leadership training course. In November, the new members were initiated into the club, after having complied with the entrance requirements of passing the tenderfoot test. Taking part in the campcraft course sponsored by W. A. A. was enjoyed by most of the members, who thus laid a foundation for future hiking programs. Christmas of 1934 will not be forgotten by this club when we think of our very successful sale. Practically everything that was sold was made by the girls. At meetings one would have seen us Scouts sawing amberol pendants, fringing and embroidering kerchiefs, knitting pocketbooks, or crocheting collars and cuffs. The co-operation shown by the college in purchasing these gifts was greatly appreciated. Another financial aid was the movie benefit, The Girl of the Limberlost. Early in January two of the members represented the group at a banquet and business meet- ing of the Older Girl Scouts held at the headquarters in Boston. The purpose of the meeting was to acquaint the club with what others of the same age and interests were doing in Scouting. Since there is no organization for these older girls this movement has started with the hope that a more suitable name can be found, and an interesting program can be offered them. These dele- gates reported to our club at the supper served in Woodward kitchenette later in the month. Among the last semester ' s activities was a leadership training course introduced by Mrs. Fred W. Wormelle, the Brockton district captain.

P. CLUB And a little child shall lead them. Presidents Harriet Hall Virginia Cochrane Vice-President Ernestine Reynolds Secretary Phyllis Esau Treasurer Elinor Lane The aim of Kindergarten-Primary Club this year was to raise funds to send delegates to the National A. C. E. Convention which is being held this June at Swampscott. Eyes of all edu- cators will be turned that way, and interesting developments in education are expected to result. One of our aims is to keep in touch with the latest developments in Nursery, Kindergarten, and Primary education, and we hope through this convention to have something worthwhile brought back to the college. At the beginning of the year a great many new members were taken into the club to fill the gaps left by the girls who graduated last year. In October, a delegate was sent to Swampscott to bring back the plans for the convention, and interest the girls in raising funds to send a representative in June. In November, Mr. Philbrook gave a very interesting nature talk which was illustrated with colored slides. No club year would be complete without the annual Christmas party. It is at this time that one of our greatest services should be to children, and we collected gifts to be distributed to the needy of Bridgewater. At the January meeting Miss Marks was our speaker, and gave us some very useful sug- gestions on Play Materials. In February, we had an interesting speaker, Miss Hackebarth, who is chairman of the student group for the convention. She gave us additional information of the latest developments in convention plans. The March and April meetings were devoted to raising funds, and also at these meetings brief histories were given of the founders of the kindergarten. In May the annual banquet was held to close the club year. Phyllis Esau, Secretary. 112 ORGANIZATIONS A .,cv Row 3 — Z. Mapp, E. Warner, E. Richwagen, A. Curice. Row 2 — M. Tierney, P. Morgan, C.

LIFE Life is a drama — an anonymous play, A song which is sung in the course of a day. Life is a book of advancing years, A series of pages enscribed with tears. Life is a treasure of ancient worth Which adds beauty and meaning to Mother Earth. Life is a brook, a bubbling stream, Where the soul of man is left to dream. Life is a highway of unknown design, But the only road to our home divine.

Under the leadership of Miss Bradford, the club has made a fine start and we see a very good future in prospect. Our aim is a better and more idiomatic use of German as it is spoken, and an understanding of German art, literature, and music.

The girls are all members of the Women ' s Glee Club who volunteer to do this work because they are in- terested in furthering good music at the college. This group proves a worthwhile organization by sharing its talents with the student body every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, when it furnishes responses for the chapel exercises.

Director Miss Frieda Rand President Madeleine Amsden Vice-President Harriett Hultstrom Secretary Mary Salo Librarians Bernice Ludden Dorothy French The Glee Club began its year ' s activities soon after the usual fall try-outs. Forty new mem- bers having been admitted, the enrollment became the largest in the club history. In order to facilitate attendance for day student members, a plan was devised whereby the Tuesday rehears- als were held alternately in the afternoon and evening. As in former years, we assisted in the singing of Christmas carols at the Faculty dinner during the holiday season. With much enthusiasm we were soon in the midst of preparations for our spring concert. With Alfred Zighera, who played the viola de gamba, and Bernard Zighera, who played the harp, assisting, the program proved inspirational as well as entertaining. With plans of graduation, came active rehearsing of music for Baccalaureate and Commencement services. The Glee Club owes much of its success to the able leadership and untiring efforts of Miss Rand. Although regretful for the loss of our graduating members, we are looking forward to another year of enjoyment in music. Mary Salo, Secretary. 117 1935 ALPHA ORCHESTRA Conductor Miss Frieda Rand Student Director Barbara Albret Assistant Student Director Herman Baptiste Librarian Arlene Kosmaler Assistant Librarian Francis Moran Secretary Esther Thorley The Orchestra welcomed nine new members at the beginning of the season. One of the g reatest additions perhaps, was that of four cellists. This year there have been two aims: the first, a successful concert with Doric Allviano as guest artist; the second, the addition of a set of tympani to the fine collection of instruments already owned by the club. No account of the year ' s work would be complete without mention of the name of Miss Rand, conductor, to whom we all owe our deep and sincere appreciation for her leadership.

MEN ' S GLEE CLUB Director Miss Frieda Rand President Donald Welch Vice-President John Bates Secretary . ' Clarence Blair Librarian Harold Brewer The Men ' s Glee Club is not the possessor of a historical background of prestige and tra- dition, for it has been active only four years. Each of the men ' s classes has its quota of musically talented members,- the class of 1935 is particularly blessed with harmonious voices. The quartet, made up of members of this class, is one which represents the club most admirably. This year the Club sang for the first time in its history at the Plymouth County Teachers ' onvention. The men have assisted in chapel programs by combining with some of the young women of the other glee club and forming a mixed choir. We believe that some of the success of our club may be attributed to the hearty support received from the student body. Clarence Blair, Secretary. 120 POETRY OUR ATTIC Just a stairway leading upwards A pathway to the skies, The home of trunks and cupboards, ' Twas a childhood Paradise. Remember Grandma ' s dresses We took from dusty drawers? And clothes, from linen presses? We dressed up for hours. The games that Mother used to play A corn-husk doll or two. Some wooden blocks, made any way, Brightened our lives anew. The spinning wheel is packed away Hidden by the churn, The boot-jack, old, a dusty grey, Are Spoils of great concern. On rainy days, that have no end. The folks are doing batik I steal away with book or friend To the comfort of our attic.

Under the able leadership of Virginia Prario a new menu, called Venetian Egg, was introduced. This dish was enjoyed by over one hundred students and faculty. The Athletic Conference of the Massachusetts State Teachers Colleges was held at Fitchburg this year. Many important subjects were discussed, including the point system, automatic membership, mass participation vs. participation for skill, etc. Our W. A. A. was represented by Arlene Kelleher, Barbara Greenwood, Harriett Robinson, and our faculty directors, Miss Decker and Miss Caldwell. The delegates extended an invitation for all members of the con- vention to meet in Bridgewater for their next meeting. Comittees have been planning for the convention in hope that it will be the most successful and profitable of all conferences. Miss Elizabeth Leavens of Boston gave a short Campcraft Course to about forty enthusiastic members of our club. The course included the building of fires, the cooking of food, and the making of beds for overnight trips. Deck sports are being added this year through the work of a committee. The duties of the committee are to refinish a section of Woodward basement for shuffleboard, paddle tennis, and ping-pong, and to promote interest in these sports. As many W. A. A. ' s have found it profitable to divide their members into teams for com- petition, we initiated this scheme and every member was made either a Red or a White.
