When we, as Freshmen, entered Boyden Hall, And looked around with eager, se arching eye, The first to meet our glance Was that set high above the door ' s wide arch, A creed: — Bridgewater ' s Creed, Which we shall love and cherish evermore, Not to be ministered unto, but to minister. 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. Ruth Davis, Secretary
