CLASSES mXKM SJK SENIORS President Kenneth Murphy Vice-President Eva Haselgard Secretary John Bates Treasurer Mary Campbell History Passing of years brings to us two general and opposite feelings: one of joy as we think of our contacts and accomplishments, and one of sorrow as we look bgck from our present plane of achievement and appreciate what might have been. 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.
