The secret of success is constancy of purpose. Mary is a sweet, obliging girl who goes quietly about her work. She often surprises us with her flashes of brilliant work in art. She is always very efficient — we ' re glad you came back to our 1 fold for your four-year degree! CONCEDA CARMEL AMOROSO 13 Franklin Street, Quincy. Baseball 1, 2. Volley Ball 2. Tenniquoit 2, 3. Dancing 2, 3. Garden Club 3, 4. Choir 4. W. A. A. 1, 2, 3. 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. MADELEINE ELIZABETH AMSDEN River Street, Brookfield. Glee Club 1 , 2, 3, 4; Secretary 3.

The keynote of Madeleine ' s personality is her apparent reserve, which once penetrated reveals a laughing friendliness and love of people. Music and bookbinding are her hobbies,- poise, efficiency, frankness, and knowledge her characteristics. 14

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.

Whose high endeavors are an inward light, That makes the path before her always bright. 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.

It ' s nice to be natural When it ' s natural to be nice. Doris has a naturalness and neatness which give her an in- dividual charm. Her friends are numerous because of her quiet ways and cheerful smile. If commuting had not taken much of her time, she could also have shown much skill on the basketball floor.
