Ysi jL tzd; y DR. ZENOS E. SCOn ALPHA 1936 PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF THE STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE BRIDGEWATER - MASSACHUSETTS VOLUME NO. XXXVIII TO FRILL GERTRUDE BECKWITH Teacher of Handicrafts at Bridgewater from 1914 to 1935 and HARLAN PAGE SHAW Teacher of Physiography and Science at Bridgewater from 1890 to 1936 The Class of 1936 affectionately dedicates this book in appre- ciation of their years of enthusiastic service to the finest ideals of this college. FRILL G. BECKWITH FRILL GERTRUDE BECKWITH Artist and Teacher of Art Frill Gertrude Beckwith was born in Bay City, Michigan, where she lived until she prepared for college in Ann Arbor. In college she did not brag of taking Art for fear of being accused of looking for snaps. She took all courses offered in Art, however, having studied it privately since childhood. At the end of her second col- lege year she was offered an opportunity to go to an Art School in the East, provided she proved that she could teach. She was very successful in teaching both Art and Manual Training, but was influenced to choose the latter through her study with Miss Osterholm, a graduate of Finland ' s finest school, Sweden ' s finest school, and Colum- bia as well. Miss Beckwith says, Out of a clear sky I decided on Boston. Some one told me of Agassiz ' s daughter (Mrs. Shaw) and all she was doing. I do not know what good fairy guided me. Not alone the school but the influence of Mrs. Shaw was something that cannot be expressed in mere words. While studying in Boston, Miss Beckwith taught in a number of Settlement Houses, and at Chestnut Hill Private School. Then back to Michigan, to supervise Manual Training (cooking, sewing, wood- work, and craft work) in Lansing, with the special problem of keeping over-age boys in school. So skillfully did she solve this problem that she was called to Yakima, Washington, to do the same thing. After another year of study, Miss Beckwith re- ceived calls from Los Angeles and from Bridgewater. This account is finished in Miss Beckwith ' s own words. I accepted Bridgewater, where I spent twenty-one delightful years. Any one who knows anything of Dr. Boyden knows that means getting the best and giving the best. While at Bridgewater I had a wonderful experience — ' My trip abroad. ' I went to the International Art Congress at Prague with Dr. Henry Turner Bailey. I consider that I have been very fortunate. First Dr. Angell of Michigan University; second, Dr. Boyden,- and third, Dr. Bailey — all masters of the Art of Living. I am sorry I had so short a time with Dr. Scott. During the time I was with him I felt his enthusiasm, and his appreciation of what I tried to do. I felt his courage, under- standing, and sympathy. I start in once more studying Art in Detroit next week. Wish me luck. I think I have found another wonderful teacher. HARLAN PAGE SHAW SCIENTIST AND TEACHER OF SCIENCE Harlan Page Shaw was born July 31, 1866, in Waterville, Nova Scotia. He re- ceived his early education in the schools of Berwick, Nova Scotia, and in Horton Col- legiate Academy, Wolfville, Nova Scotia. For two years he was manager of his father ' s orchard and farm, and then spent one year at machinist ' s tools and woodworking in Worcester, Mass. Mr. Shaw returned to Nova Scotia, and studied one year to pass the provincial examinations for a teacher ' s license. For a short time he was principal and teacher of a primary school, and enjoyed this work. In September, 1 886, Mr. Shaw entered Bridgewater Normal School, and was gradu- ated from the four years ' course with high rank. During the last three years as a student at this school, he also taught woodworking to all of the Normal students. Despite all these activities, Mr. Shaw found time for school athletics, excelling in the pole vault, tennis, and football. Mr. Shaw became a regular member of the Normal School faculty in September 1 890, and has continued to the present time. While carrying a full-time teaching pro- gram at Bridgewater, Mr. Shaw has also covered much outside study in connection with the Lowell School of Science, M. I. T., Hyannis Summer School and Harvard. These courses have been in physiography, geology and chemistry. He has taken many field studies in geology in company with N. S. Shaler and J. B. Woodworth of Harvard, and W. O. Crosby and George H. Barton of Technology. Four summers Mr. Shaw taught mineralogy and chemistry at Hyannis Summer School. For a short time preceding the appointment of Dr. Zenos Scott, he was acting president of Bridgewater State Teachers College. Mr. Shaw has published A Course in Woodworking, The Study of Minerals, Laboratory Course in Elementary Chemistry, Outlines of Historical Geology, and A Course in General Science. Mr. Shaw ' s varied interests have led him to association with many scientific educa- tional societies. For twelve years he was a member of the Bridgewater School Com- mittee, and the Town Planning Board. He has always been active in civic affairs. For forty-six years, Mr. Shaw has not lost even a single half-day of teaching because of illness. Evidently teaching runs in Mr. Shaw ' s family. Teachers in his immediate family in- clude his father, two of his brothers, one sister, and five of his sons and daughters. One of his brothers, Dr. Avery A. Shaw, is now president of Denison University, Granville, Ohio. HARLAN P.

The central themes of the illustrations are handcrafts and science, these subjects being chosen because the book is dedicated to Miss Beckwith and Mr. Shaw. The following outline gives the central theme in each of the illustrated pages: END SHEETS: Science and handcrafts symbolized in objects carried by student. CLASSES: Science symbolized in experimentation with nature. STUDENT CO-OPERATIVE ASSOCIATION: Science and the handcrafts symbolized in student activities leading to central figure, the head of the Student Co-operative Association. CLUBS: Handcrafts symbolized in central figure of a puppet, holding strings to various clubs of the college. ATHLETICS: Science symbolized in force and strain of athletes. ART ASSISTANTS Ralph Nelson, John Julin, Dorothy Perkins, Kathleen Kelly, Joseph Chicetti. APPRECIATION The Editorial Board of Alpha for 1936 wish to extend our sincere appreciation to Miss Davis, Miss Nye, Miss Pope, and Mr. Kelly, our faculty advisers, in acknowl- edgement of their valuable assistance in the publishing of this book. We also thank all members of the college who have aided in making the task of publishing the Alpha a most enjoyable and profitable experience. ALPHA - 1936 Row 2 — G. Morrison, R. Zeoli, R.

That motto old which did our entrance hail Is more than words of bronze upon the wall; It forms the doctrine clear By which we spend our pleasant college days, And doubtless it will guide our future years,- A creed: — Bridgewater ' s Creed, Not to be ministered unto, but to minister. — Richard Dwyer.

Ruth Davis Treasurer Catherine Graham History September, 1932 — Orchid- ribbons and shopping bags, red caps and green ties — thus we arrived, full of pep, but afraid to show it! Worried Freshmen. September, 1933 — Growing up! Combined Sophomore-Junior prom for the first time. Progressive Sophomores. September, 1934 — Training — committees — prom — winter meet — Campus Carnivals. Energetic Juniors. September, and on, 1935 — Philosophizing Education, 84 lit students pursuing Shake- speare, Van Doling, promming. Sedate Seniors. This in brief, accounts for our activities during the four short years we ' ve been here. Logically critical, desiring new things, thus we have progressed. The combined Sophomore-Junior prom, in Davy Jones ' locker, our second year, we shall never forget. Learning through experience, we made the Senior dance completely outshine all of our others, both socially and financially. Starting a new custom, we presented a senior chapel program which depicted subjects which are typically Senior. As usual, Christmas cards were for sale. The tendency this year was toward the idea of Bridgewater, the college, and the campus. The spring chapel program presented a pre-view of Class Day for the benefit of the entire school. Tableaux at Class Day as usual, but dealing with the unusual — How Govern- ments, Ancient and Modern, Affect Education. The finale — June 8, prom; June 1 2, Ivy March.

We cease to be observers and boldly sail forth on a life of activity as upper classmen — feeling ourselves fully established as a part of the college. The new plan of Senior training affected us, giving us a term longer to be together as Juniors to apply the lessons learned in Training School in preparation for better teaching as Seniors. Meanwhile the Juniors have not failed to inscribe their names on athletic records and contribute their share to the social season. Our boys have supported all our varsity teams, while W. A. A. honor teams have the names of several Junior girls. The Ice Carnival, ushered in on a snappy December night, was the same big success as ' 37 ' s previous socials. The gala event of the season, however, was the colorful Sophomore-Junior prom. Then, too, Junior musical talent has helped to make many school affairs through- out the season successful events. As the year draws to a close, we look backward on a year of accomplishments and forward to a year of greater achievement and fellow- ship at B. T. C. before we go forth to minister.

The oak boughs held by the under-classmen symbolize to the Seniors the ever- lasting protection of the College. The ivy, which is planted and also carried by each graduate, symbolizes the spirit of comradeship and good fellowship.

T. C. ready to begin our second year with a slight suggestion of dignity. Dignity, however, doesn ' t accompany Freshman ini- tiations. We joyfully took our turn acclimating the Freshmen to college life, as do all Sophomores. When the Freshmen were acquainted with their surroundings we then turned toward our social activities. The Sophomore-social was held in January, immed- iately following the Christmas vacation. The Sophomores boast some excellent athletes, both male and female. In every sport the Sophomore class was represented on the varsity team. We were the first Sophomores not to carry out the tradition of gaining our first teaching experience in the Training School during our Sophomore year. We look forward hopefully, but sceptically, to our training next year. As June rolls around we have completed another very happy year at B. T. C. and we are looking forward to our return as the so-called complacent juniors.

The initiation was a success from all points of view,- both the initiators and the initiated proved themselves good sports. The Acquaintance Social afforded us an opportunity to become acquainted with our fellow students. A Freshman Tea was held during Book Week in the library. The girls were well represented and even a few of the men were prevailed upon to attend. The Freshman Party held in the Albert Gardner Boyden gymnasium uncovered a wealth of talent in the class. At the Freshman Social in May, further opportunity was provided to meet class- mates and enjoy an evening of dancing. The sports world found the class contributing their share of material to the teams. We have begun our college careers well. May we continue to grow, and by our actions demonstrate to the world that Bridgewater Teachers College is one of the best of its kind! William R.

JOHNSON Class 1933 1913-1935 QUIESCENCE A country lane — it rolled between Two avenues of drooping trees And on them with a lustrous sheen The moon looked down. The breeze Was gently swaying. The shadows Flickered o ' er the smooth stream below Where calm waters, satin smooth, closed Their ripples over banks. The low Sweet sound of song was barely heard For the aching in the voice robbed All else of meaning. A hand stirred, A head shook back; the throat sobbed For an answer to it all. A night So calm. To think that brain Could question — why the stream was still, The breeze was mild, and, too, the lane Slid smoothly on. There was no hill To pause and wonder of beyond. The moon still shone serene. But then — There have been stormy nights, no fond Breeze but reckless wind, and when It broke, the stream unleashed its strength. And even country lanes meet hills With no moon shining o ' er whole length Of them. No wonder, then, this fills A heart, a soul, a perplexed head — This quiet night. An aching heart Reached out. A groping hand stopped dead. There was no answer for my part. A heart might break — a soul might ache But it couldn ' t move the cold serenity Of that night. The moon would shine Superciliously on — The country lane Would wind its way among the trees unmoved. The stream would never change its course. Elsie R. I. Anderson. VII ItlM COOrERATITE AMOCIATIOW STUDENT COUNCIL President Barbara Albret Vice-President Ruth Cronin Secretary Isabelle Walsh Treasurer Helen Russell The Student Co-operative Association is the largest and most important organi- zation in the school. Upon entering the college, every student automatically be- comes a member of this association. The purpose of the organization is to regulate all matters pertaining to student life which do not fall under the jurisdiction of the faculty, to foster a spirit of unity and co-operation in all ways possible among the students of the college, and to maintain the high standards of Bridgewater Teachers College. This objective is attained through the efficient work of the various councils. Foremost among these is the Student Council, with its truly representative member- ship, consisting of men and women, day and dormitory students, class and division representatives, and heads of the outstanding activities. The Student Council directs affairs pertaining to the entire student group. The aim of the Student Council is to act as a medium between faculty and students in rais- ing the standards of scholarship, conduct, and activities. This group tries to improve the life of the college and initiate the best movements of student collegiate life into the school. Meetings are held the fourth Friday of the month with compulsory attendance in order to insure efficiency in the work of the council. This year the council has created a new committee, the Civic Committee, whose duty it is to improve the conditions about the college. Isabelle Walsh, Secretary B. Bump, S. Riley, J. Nolan, S.

DORMITORY COUNCIL President Barbara Greenwood Vice-President Muriel Moore Secretary . Doris Kelleher Treasurer Alice Carr Dormitory Council has been successful in carrying on the duties of former years and has inaugurated several new ideas. Approximately five hundred guests were entertained at Open House, when parents and friends met the faculty of the college. Many of our graduates were wel- comed back Alumni weekend. One of the outstanding accomplishments of our council has been the innovation of Informal Study-Hour. This new policy is working out successfully through the co- operation of all the girls. The usual ten-fifteen permissions may now be taken on Sunday nights. Another new idea was that of giving Contract Bridge lessons to many enthusiastic bridge players. We have enjoyed representing the girls in the dormitories on the council and hope that our changes will make dormitory life happier. Doris Kelleher, Secretary STUDENT COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION WOODWARD HALL President Gertrude French Vice-President Eunice Perkins Secretary Betty Norton Treasurer Dorothy Bearse Redecorating and modernizing have occupied the attention of Gertrude French and the house board in their effort to create a friendly spirit and cheery atmosphere in Woodward Hall. The appearance of the radio room was improved by new pictures and carefully selected furnishings such as a couch cover, pillows, and lampshades. A piano, which was a gift from Mrs. Arthur C. Boyden, has been greatly appreciated and enjoyed by the girls. With the addition of new chair coverings and curtains, the lobby has become a pleasing introduction to the attractive student rooms. There we find much originality displayed. Sports enthusiasts welcomed the innovation of new and varied games downstairs in the game room. House meetings have been enlivened by planned entertainments given by each class. We have uncovered much hidden talent in our performers. Our social activity included the annual Woodward Dance in the fall, and a tea in the early spring. To our successors — as enjoyable and happy a year as we have had! Betty Norton, Secretary TILUNGHAST HALL President Barbara Smith Vice-President Madeline Connell Secretary Joan Rigby Treasurer Elizabeth Cusick In September, the old residents of Tillinghast came back to a full house and welcomed the freshmen and newcomers from Woodward and from other colleges. The spirit of friendliness; always characteristic of Tillinghast, was intensified by the peanut sister idea. If the girls received gifts or surprises during the year, it was the doings of their peanut sisters, and what fun it was trying to discover who they were. We all enjoyed the Hallowe ' en party at which the Freshmen were initiated with all the solemnity and ceremony due the ghost of Nicholas Tillinghast, but they showed us what they could accomplish and proved to be true Tillinghastites at the annual Christmas party. There have been changes, too, in Tillinghast, always for the better. The over- head lights in the students ' rooms were renovated during the summer,- besides this, floor plugs and lights in the closets were installed. To our reception room have been added a grandfather ' s clock and new rugs and table runners to make the room more attractive for our Saturday afternoon teas. As we look back upon a successful and enjoyable year, we hope that those to come will be just as happy and prosperous. Joan E. Rigby, Secretary 19 3 6 ALPHA Row 3— M. Hollenbeck, M. Shields, A.

DAY STUDENT COUNCIL President Ida Leino Vice-President Rebecca Faunce Secretary Anna Anderson Treasurer Marie Randall This year the Day Student Association has proved of what mettle they are made. From the beginning, activity has been our watchword. The room we hoped and planned for last year became a reality. Under faculty guidance our artistic mem- bers arranged a very pleasant room which we are enjoying to the utmost. Very fittingly, the first of our social events was a tea, which formally opened the recreation room to the students of the college. Not satisfied with a room, we immediately started to make the room even more enjoyable for its occupants — a radio was our objective. Our first financial attempt was a style show, which was enthusiastically attended by students and faculty alike. With the returns we were able to purchase a radio. As has been customary, we sponsored a social, and as usual, it was a success. If the active program of this year ' s organization is continued by succeeding groups, the day students will continue to be a most vital part of Bridgewater life.

Its membership includes people from every class and from various organizations. This committee is responsible for planning a great deal of the social life of the college. The first social event of the year was the Acquaintance Social. Dancing and games were enjoyed, and the Freshmen were given an excellent opportunity to meet the faculty and the upperclassmen. Everyone looks to the Social Activities Committee to start the regular Friday night socials; so we gave our social the second week of school and used as our theme the Freshman initiation and the traditional sack-rush. In November we attempted a more dignified affair, the S. C. A. formal. This year we have tried to enlarge the usual program of the committee. Under Miss Pope ' s guidance we have endeavored to acquire the art of giving a successful tea. Everyone has been given an opportunity to help in all phases of the work. We began our training by having a small informal tea for the committee and a few guests. Later we assisted at the Alumni tea. Open House tea, the tea given during the W. A. A. convention, and the Freshmen teas. We all feel that this experience has proven valuable to us, and we hope that the committee of next year will be able to continue this work which we have begun.

Because of the newness of the subject, Mr. Martin ' s extensive background, and the very pleasing personality which he presented as a speaker, this program was enjoyed by all and considered very successful. The second lecturer, Dr. John Haynes Holmes, minister of the Community Church in New York, spoke on Is our Present Civilization Worth Saving? Dr. Holmes ' ideas were a challenge to all and were a contributing factor to the knowledge gained from such addresses. Geography was the next field covered in an illustrated lecture by Dr. Clarence F. Jones of Clark University. Dr. Jones ' lecture, The Highland Indians of Peru and Bolivia, was most interesting owing to the fact that the speaker lived and studied in South America among the people about whom he lectured. We hope that future speakers will meet with as much approval as did those chosen this year.

For the first time in the history of the school paper, a complete edition of Campus Comment appeared on the first college day of the year. This issue introduced both new and old students to coming social events, vacation happenings, and changes in courses of study. The first social event of the year, with the exception of the Acquaintance Dance, was sponsored by Campus Comment, which made it both a financial and a social success. To introduce new members and welcome the old, a novel treasure hunt and frankfort roast was held in the early fall. In continuing the precedent established by the staff of the preceding year, a basketball rally was held before the annual Fitchburg basketball game, which ex- tensively promoted college spirit. Assembly programs were held preceding the rally as practice periods for cheers and songs. Another project carried on by Campus Comment was the arrangement of trans- portation by bus to Fitchburg of one-hundred sixty-four students. 19 3 6 CLUBS ' l «■? iLft mm!: MjmmmW-. m- i W HK i||]Lfyi B ' ■ « HHofl H V - 1 1 kr mN ■IkL i 1 H ' — -JBLB ft V Pr l jmrn .i - Row 4 — M.

Each year the club presents three plays: a modern play in the Fall, a Christmas play, and a Shakespearian play. The club attends one or two professional plays in Boston. Philip Barrie ' s The Youngest was selected for our first play of the year. It was decided that men students should portray the male roles again this year as this idea proved so successful in our last modern play. The Youngest was presented on November 15th with the following cast: Mrs. Winslow Elsa Johnson Muff Dorothy Cushman Nancy Anne Surinski Mark Benjamin Bump Augusta Barbara Schmalz Alan James Peebles Oliver Hubert Johnson .

To serve as a grand finale to the formal Christmas dinner of this year, the club presented The Littlest Shepherd immediately following the Christmas festivities on the evening of December 19th. The following morning it was again presented for the benefit of the Training School. As is the custom of the club at this time of year, ten dollars was donated to the Training School library. During the month of January, the club was fortunately able to see Cornelia Otis Skinner in the portrayal of The Mansion on the Hudson at the Shubert Theatre in Boston. Shakespeare ' s Merchant of Venice , our final play of the year, was presented in the spring and was enthusiastically supported by the college. The following cast was selected for this play: Antonio Benjamin Bump Bassanio James Peebles Portia Elsa Johnson Nerissa Ruth Davis Lorenzo Justin McCarthy Jessica Barbara Schmalz Shyloclc Joseph Bongarzone Launcelot Dorothy Cushman Gobbo Helen Robertson Tubal John Metevier Gratiano Frank Bailey Salarino William McGee Salanio Raymond Burnefte Duke of Venice Natalie Dean Prince of Aragon Anne Surinski The club wishes to express gratitude to those who have helped to make our plays a success.

LIBRARY CLUB President Kathryn Ross Vice-President Carol Griffiths Secretary Polly H ull Treasurer Marjorie Hartford Beginning with its first meeting and continuing throughout the year, Library Club has carried on a series of activities and delightful programs which were the outgrowth of an enthusiastic interest in contemporary publications and their authors. During the past year, a new plan was conceived by which the members of the club were grouped under a phase of literature they were most eager to learn more of — biog- raphy, travel, fiction, or poetry. Each group read the latest books included in their particular division, discussed them, and presented their criticisms to the other members. Presenting an opportunity to learn more of the literary world to the chosen few members is not the only aim of Library Club — it also supplies opportunities for culture to the entire student body. The lending library, which has become so popular, has added many of the year ' s most discussed books, among them being And Gladly Teach, by Bliss Perry, The Sun Also Rises, by Ernest Hemingway, and Mary, Queen of Scots, by Stefan Zweig. In November, Miss Ruth Campbell, a recent graduate of Emerson College, gave a charming, animated presentation of a portion of Bess Streeter Aldrich ' s Miss Bishop for our chapel program. Outstanding on the club ' s social calendar were the dates of the trip into Boston to see one of the year ' s best plays and of the social held in the spring. Polly T.

TOPICS OF THE DAY President Belle Barsky Vice-President Mary Murray Secretary Ruth Turner Treasurer Prakseda Gricius This year Topics-of-the-Day Club has been very successful under the leadership of its president, Belle Barsky. The membership has increased to a total of fifty-eight, a new peak in the membership for the club. The aim of the club is the mutual improvement of its members through a study of the vital topics of the day. Through our discussions of such topics as Italy in Ethiopia, The AAA, The Youth Movement in Europe, and The Progress of Japan we not only have an opportunity for relaxation and social contacts, but also for the gaining of a basic understanding of the problems confronting the world. The club is governed and the programs are arranged by the executive board, which is made up of the club officers and a representative from each class. Besides planning interesting programs for group discussion the board also makes arrange- ments for a few outside speakers each year. We hope through the help of our faculty adviser, and this series of varied pro- grams, to accomplish our aim and also to instill in the members a love for current history.

Anna McKee, Secretaire 19 3 6 CLUBS MARDI GRAS— VOICI PARIS February 14, 1936 When Le Cercle Francais began making its plans for the Mardi Gras, which took place on February 14, 1936, it decided to go modern and show its guests a bit of Parisian night life. Accordingly, ambitious members set about designing scenery, shops, and cafes to change the Albert Gardner Boyden Gymnasium into a fitting place for the Mardi Gras revellers. Katherine Kelly was chairman of the decoration committee, and planned a drop for the east end of the gymnasium, which showed a beautiful view of L ' Arc de Tri- omphe. Mary Gauszis transfoimed the alcove under the balcony at the back of the gym- nasium into Jenane ' s style shop, whose silver-curtained windows showed dresses and accessories for both evening and sports wear. Above Jenane ' s was a gay Alsatian cafe, flying the American flag. This was planned by Jeannette Paul. Tables for four were covered with blue, white and red covers, and, because it was February 14, tiny trees on which grew many, many red hearts were used for center-pieces. The orchestra played in the corner near the style shop, while near-by was a flower shop with a large variety of flowers. The patrons and patronesses for the affair were Dr. and Mrs. Zenos E. Scott, Miss S. Elizabeth Pope, Mr. John Kelly, Miss Priscilla Nye, and Mr. and Mrs. Balfour Tyndall. They were greeted by the guests in a salutation march. The floats this year were unusually good, the banner for the most representative going to Campus Comment for the float An Editor ' s Nightmare. Esther Thorley and Stephen Lovett were elected by the students as Queen and King of the Mardi Gras. Prizes for the best costumes were awarded to Barbara Albret, who represented Mamie of the comic strip, most grotesque,- Rachel Lane, a Dutch girl all in blue, most beautiful; and Marie von Bergen, in star-spangled black with a silver crescent in her hair, most Parisian. A feature of the evening was a style show from Jenane ' s, of which Miss Gauszis was the proprietor. French costumes representing dress from the fifteenth century to the present were modelled. The dance ended a few minutes before midnight with the arrival of Pere Careme, who bade everyone leave for home. Last of all, Le Cercle sang its good-night song, Bon Soir, Confreres. 19 3 6 ALPHA Row 4 — M. von Bergen, B. Hayden, C. Gardner, R. Blaney, V. Kundiz, M. Rau. Row 3 — F. Kuchmeister, M. Chaput, R.

DER DEUTSCHE VEREIN President Isabel Jenkins Vice-President Alice Larson Secretary Katherine Johnson Treasurer Catherine Graham Librarian Helen Costello With the introduction of German in the curriculum of Bridgewater Teachers Col- lege last year, there arose an interest in, and a desire for, a German Club. These desires matured into reality, so that this year the school has its baby club, Der Deutsche Verein. Through the generous help of Miss Edith Bradford, the faculty adviser, and the capable leadership of its president, Isabel Jenkins, Der Deutsche Verein has rapidly become a well-organized club, and a worthy member of the group taking part in extra-curricular activities of the school. The club was fortunate, on December 4, in having Herr Carstensen and Hubert Hundt, a German exchange teacher and student from Tabor Academy. They spoke at a special meeting to which the school was invited. On December 12, a successful Christmas party was enjoyed by the members. The meetings for the remainder of the year were concerned with such topics as travel, drama, music, games, holidays, and current events, all directly related to Germany. The Freshmen put a finishing touch to the year ' s program by presenting a German play in May. Katherine Johnson, Secretary 19 3 6 CLUBS Row 3 — W. Nolan, D. Holmes, F. Jagiello, G. Leonard, L.

SCIENCE CLUB President Doris Jones Vice-President Emanuel Taitz Secretary Marjorie Butterfield Treasurer John True Science Club is an organization from which many varied benefits may be derived. Admission to it is based on scholarship and a genuine interest in science. The club affords an opportunity to further the students ' interest in science and to carry scientific inquiry into fields beyond those touched upon in the class room. Club activities are diversified. At some of the meetings there are talks given by club members or by guest speakers who are well versed in their particular branch of science. To help realize the varied science interests of the different members, the club is sub-divided into interest groups. Each group has its own specific subject and devotes its attention to acquiring additional knowledge in this field. Round-table discussions on current science topics proved to be of unfailing value in furthering the scientific outlook of the club. As field trips are always a part of real scientific study, trips to the Agassiz Museum, the Arnold Arboretum, the Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole, and the Audubon Bird Sanctuary at Sharon have at times proved to be instructive as well as enjoyable. The club is welded to- gether socially by such events as its initiation, installations, and picnics, and these, together with the educational phases of club meetings, give a well-rounded program of activities for Science Club.

Wilma Quinn Secretary Marjorie Hartford Treasurer Carol Vollmer Garden Club, better known by its members as TC, has concluded another suc- cessful year. After the initiation in September, all newly-admitted members were informed of the meaning of TC, a privilege extended only to those who gain admittance to the Club. So many students were interested in the aim of TC, that is, to promote interest in the growth and spread of horticulture among college students, that both afternoon and evening groups were formed to accommodate all the members. Each meeting included a business and occupational session. In the latter, cut- tings of various shrubs and plants were made either for personal use or for school pur- poses. Many valuable lectures were given by Mr. Stearns, the club adviser, and by the club members. The social life of TC included small parties for the members, bonfire suppers, a trip to the Flower Show, a social, and a chapel program. The Garden Club ' s outstanding constructive contribution to the school was the decoration of the auditorium during the Christmas season. Marjorie Hartford, Secretary 19 3 6 CLUBS THE GREENHOUSE Without our glass enclosure, the ground is bare and hard. Harsh winds have torn the summer clothing from the trees Leaving them but bare frame-works of what has been. But inside the greenhouse is faerie warmth and summer. Tall, fan-shaped plants vie with taller ones Stretching like small children to reach the desired. Graceful ferns bow lacy fronds on every side Filling the benches like tropical jungles. Pots of tiny cuttings are miniature forests Arranged in rows along the side benches. Jerusalem cherries, bowed under heavy fruit Form a colorful orchard on the central island. Scrambling vines race each other over the sides, And jump to reach the ground below. Bright spots of sunshine splatter Showing a lovely pattern of natural harmony. THE GARDEN Let us go into the garden. The moon sails high Like paper, glued to the sky With not even a cloud to hang to. Shut the garden gate with care, And tip-toe down the gravel path, Not to disturb the immense stillness. Flowers nod as we pass, Dressed in pastel colors With a tint of moonlight blue Like sylvan fairies dancing. See the tree in the center, The sentinel of the garden, Spreading leafy branches to include The whole garden under protecting wings. Everything is duplicated by the shadows, Huge, black, lifeless forms, The world without the hidden flame of life. We pass out through the same gate Leaving the garden silent. CHANGE OF SCENE Wild wind wailing in the wood Soft snow slipping down the field Eerie ghosts. Where yesterday we watched A red riot raid a maple And gold grain gorge upon the sun. — Catherine Reilly . 19 3 6 ALPHA Row 4 — A. Allen, C. Fair, R. Farley, L. Conley, N. Beaton, M. Reposa, J.

Catherine Donahue Secretary-Treasurer Doris Dennison Although a comparatively recent innovation in extra-curricular activities, Hobby Club is making rapid strides towards becoming one of the most popular clubs in the college. The members have one earnest purpose in mind — to further their own hobbies and to acquire other worthwhile ones. Some of the most representative of the hobbies are: stamps, coins, relics, knitting, animals. More singular ones include: bottles, block-printing, and favors. More than ever during the recent period of financial stress, people, regardless of position in life, have been turning to hobbies as a diversion from the grim facts facing them. This group of young men and women realize the value that hobbies are to have in the future and are taking advantage of a remarkable opportunity to avail themselves of as much information on the subject as possible. The young people have in their leader, Mr. Stearns, an ardent hobbyist who does much to inspire and motivate the work of the members of the Hobby Club. Doris R.

Rita Sawyer Vice-President Wilma Quinn Secretary-Treasurer Barbara Polsey Under the enthusiastic guidance of our faculty adviser, Mr. Reynolds, Camera Club has enjoyed a most successful and profitable year. This year the club admitted twelve new members, increasing the total mem- bership to twenty-four. The new-comers, under the leadership of the more experienced members, learned to develop, print, and enlarge their own pictures. Several unusual views of the campus and buildings were taken and a prize was awarded to the member with the best enlargement. The social life of the club has also played an important part this year. We have enjoyed several evenings,- one an initiation party at the home of Mr. Reynolds, also a Christmas and a Valentine party. We hope that as a result of our work this year all members have developed an interest in, and an understanding of, photography. Barbara Polsey, Secretary 19 3 6 ALPHA D. Holmes, J. Julin, F.

Holmes The activities of the Men ' s Club during the year 1935-36 started off with the annual banquet, in October. Dr. Scott, Dean Kelly, members of the faculty, super- intendents from surrounding towns, and several alumni, were our guest speakers. The youthful Freshman band entertained and the more senile Junior quartet rendered several old favorites. The Men ' s Club social was held on January ten, in the Albert Gardner Boyden Gymnasium. For our play this year we chose the farce, Here Comes Charlie, in which only men took part. Miss Moffitt should be given credit for the way in which the play was received. Men ' s Amateur Night was sponsored in the Horace Mann Auditorium on March twenty-seven. The program included individual numbers from the men of the four classes. Some of the speakers who have addressed us this year are Dr. Scott, president of the college, Hon. James Warren, superintendent of the State Farm at Bridgewater, and Mr. Stearnes Cushing, superintendent of schools of Middleboro. Having some of the meetings held at noontime this year perhaps accounts for the large turnout at the meetings. Then again, the Club has been backed by the men more this year than ever before. 19 3 6 CLUBS A new feature to arouse interest in the Men ' s Club Room in Tillinghast Hall was the introduction of ping-pong tables. Ping-pong-ers were to be seen at all hours paddling the little ball back and forth over the net. The enthusiasm aroused for the sport this year will no doubt carry over into the years to come. It is up to every man in the college to participate in the Men ' s Club activities in order to make the organization a success from year to year. Why not put the Men ' s Club on the map? John A.

KINDERGARTEN -PRIMARY CLUB President Ernestine Reynolds Vice-President Eunice Warner Secretary Evelyn Lafaver Treasurer Hazel Crowdis Kindergarten-Primary Club ' s first meeting was a party welcoming new members. There was much to tell them about the coming programs. We have had some very outstanding speakers including Miss Julia Jacoby of Wheaton and Miss Florence Rice. They told us of their work in the kindergarten and nursery school field. In February we had a Valentine Social, and enjoyed hearing Miss Elizabeth Spargo, a teacher in the Brookline Primary School and also an instructor in the Boston Training School. Dr. Eugene Philbrook gave us a very interesting nature lecture using pictures he had taken himself. We thought that the Garden Club would enjoy him too, so its members were our guests. Tea was served before the meeting. In May we had our annual banquet when Miss Lucy Wheelock was our guest speaker. On the following morning Miss Wheelock spoke to the entire student body during Chapel period. To Miss Marks we owe much appreciation for making possible so fine a year ' s program. Most of our speakers were personal friends of our adviser. Evelyn Lafaver, Secretary. 19 3 6 CLUBS Row 3 — J. Austin. F. Pratt, I. Jenkins, C. Griffiths. C. Gilmartin, T. Wolfson, A. Surinski, E.

Thirty new members were in- vited to join. A successful year was prophesied at the first meeting. A new feature was introduced into Glee Club this year — that of singing to the several retired faculty members of the College. The annual custom of caroling at our President ' s home after the faculty reception was continued. After Christmas the work for our public appearance steadily progressed. The club had its first appearance before the school on January twenty-eight. The annual spring concert, assisted by a well-known guest artist, was greatly enjoyed both by the appreciative audience and by Glee Club members. After the spring concert, rehearsals for Baccalaureate and Commencement music began to make us realize that graduation was not far off. The success of our year ' s program has depended a great deal on our director, Miss Rand. Put all you have in a thing and it will be a success. Margaret Gilliatt, Secretary 19 3 6 CLUBS IV. V.

This year many Day Students have been added to the enrollment. This has given the orchestra a wider scope from which to choose its members. As a result it has been greatly improved and has shown much better instrumentation. The work of the year has been more varied than in former years. An interesting feature was the sectional or group work which included a string ensemble and a trio. As well as providing music for several of the dramatic productions of the college, the members of the orchestra contributed toward making the Wednesday morning chapel programs more enjoyable. Musical selections were given by the group as a whole and by individuals. The annual Spring Concert was presented in March. The concert principle was Beethoven ' s Symphony No. 1 . During the year a new set of tympani was purchased by the orchestra. The work and success of the orchestra was due to the fine and capable leadership of our conductor, Miss Rand.

MEN ' S GLEE CLUB Director Miss Frieda Rand President Daniel Holmes Vice-President Charles Medvetz Secretary George Leonard A men ' s glee club has again been formed this year. Although late in starting, the club has had a successful year. In all there have been nearly forty aspirants for membership, of whom sixteen were Freshmen. From this group twenty-five or thirty were selected to represent the Men ' s Glee Club. The following are the selections which were sung at the concert given by the Men ' s Glee Club this spring.

Dorothy Bearse Recording Secretary Esther Thorley Treasurer Barbara Schmaltz For W. A. A. this has been a year of many innovations and improvements. W. A. A. ' s great stride forward has been its automatic membership which has reached out to include all the women of the college. Because of the change from a club to a large organization, many constitutional amendments have been made. So that these amendments and anything else of interest concerning the organization might be known to all members, handbooks have been published. In the fall Miss Elizabeth Leavens of Boston gave to about thirty interested members of our organization a more intensive campfire course than the one given by her the previous year. One thing accomplished by this group, which has given pleasure to all members of W. A. A., is the stone fireplace constructed in the garden. This year the conference of the Athletic Association of Massachusetts Teachers Colleges was held at Bridgewater on November 1 and 2. The central theme of the conference was The Modem Dance, which is one of the newer trends in women ' s activities today. The conference was climaxed with a performance of a dance group from New York University and a lecture by John Martin, noted dance critic.

Francis Moran Secretary Paul Casey Treasurer James Horton The B. T. C. A. A. sponsored a very successful play day for junior high school boys in October 1935. The men of the different classes carried out the program. On February 1, 1936, an informal dance was sponsored by the A. A. in the gymnasium. We feel that it was one of the pleasantest social events of the season. As is the custom, the A. A. supported the various athletic activities of the college. This year the sports program included soccer, basketball, baseball and tennis. The council hopes that each successive year will be as successful in athletics as this year has proved to be.

The players were severely handicapped this year in having no home diamond on which to practice. Mr. Warren, Superintendent of the State Farm, had, however, enabled several home games to be scheduled by offering the team the use of his ball field. 1936 Schedule Assumption College (two games) Harvard Junior Varsity Newport Naval Training Station (two games) New Bedford Textile Massachusetts Institute of Technology Fitchburg Teachers College New Britain Teachers College Dean Academy 19 3 6 ALPHA £% BTC.« TC  e.

The objective game of the season, the Fitchburg game, ended in a tie score. Since this tie broke Fitchburg ' s supremacy in soccer over a span of years, Bridgewater claimed a moral victory. For the first time in three years, Bridgewater was able to invite colleges to compete on a Bridgewater soccer field. The Training School playground was used for the home games, which numbered five.

Although Parsons was able to play in only three games, his total of eight goals was far ahead of any other single player. Best play — Skahill saving a sure goal at Harvard after goalie had been drawn from goal. Worst play — Nolan missing penalty kick in American International game with a chance to tie the game. 19 3 6 ATHLETICS Row S — Mr. Huffington, V. Bodwell, M. Nash, J. Augustine, E. Bowles, R.

BASKETBALL TEAM Under the able coaching of Mr. Huffington, the Basketball Team has this year completed the most successful season of the past four years. The great historic event of the basketball season was the winning of the Harrington Trophy from Fitchburg Teachers College on the night of February 8. Almost two hundred loyal rooters accompanied the players to Fitchburg to help the boys to win the Trophy, which Fitchburg has held for a number of years. This year the practice of maintaining a Junior Varsity was begun, and it met with such great success that a more extensive program has been planned for the squad next year.

YES? Forgive me if I speak my woe, My tale of yesterday. Just now it seems so long ago And, oh, so far away. I knew he never could be mine Forever or for long. But still I gave the lover ' s sign And sang the lover ' s song. I knew I ' d be a fool to go With him, a long short mile, And yet I went so fast, and slow And loved him for a while. And now he ' s gone and I ' m alone But we ' re together yet Though he ' s not here, he ' s still my own Ah, yes, my cheeks are wet. Forgive me if I spoke my heart, I ' m just a fool you know. Elsie Anderson. I hoped our love would linger in Your soul — a thing above The common cry where women dwell, Where man, in grief, will tear The roots from out the sin-soaked earth His destiny to bear. I thought perhaps it would not be A light love song to you, But rather, more a gift of gods A sweet, rare, precious wine Made known to only chosen few That see it clearly shine. Elsie Anderson.
