DR. ZENOS E. SCOTT ALPHA PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OFTHE STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE BRIDGEWATER . MASSACHUSETTS VOLUME NO. XXXIX The fellowship which we have enjoyed during our years at this college moves us to publish a chronicle of what has been,during this time, so much a part of our lives. We have tried to separate the significant from the trivial, sentimentality from sentiment, and to record that which draws us all one to another. That the friend- ship to which we cling and the most precious of our ex- periences shall not be lost to us through time, we have bound together the humorous and earnest, the fond and inspirational: and, in the doing, our Alma Mater to ourselves. TO LAURA ADELAIDE NIOFFITT Teacher of Reading and Dramatics at Bridgewater from 1912 to 1936 whose vibrant and understanding person- ality made Bridgewater a much more pleas- ant and worthwhile place for us, and FLORA MAY STUART Teacher of Grade I in Training School V from 1891 to 1936 whose leadership and service to Bridge- water, both college and town, have estab- lished her as one whose example we hope in some measure to emulate, we respectfully dedicate this book. L. ADELAIDE IVIOFFITT MISS L. ADELAIDE IVIOFFITT Miss L. Adelaide Moffitt came to Bridgewater in 1912 as a teacher of English, es- pecially in the fields of reading and drama. She had had varied experiences as teacher in elementary grades, in high school, and in supervisory work. As graduate of a Pennsylvania Normal School and of the Curry School of Expression, as classroom teach- er and specialist in dramatic expression, she was interested in every phase of reading, from the problems of the child starting school to those of the college senior trying to interpret Shakespeare. Everything that Miss Moffitt did, in classroom or in connection with dramatic interpretation, was thoroughly planned, and vividly executed. A person to whom in- spiration came often, she never depended upon it for her results. Rather, she de- pended upon hard work and clear thinking. When the inspiration did come, it was the additional touch. But in the minds of all of us Miss Moffitt is much more than a remembered good teacher. She is one of those persons around whom legends grow, because of the vitality and color of their personalities. Often in the College halls one might hear, Did you hear what Miss Moffitt said today? or Miss Moffitt's class was such fun! and the serious values of the work became all the more impressive because of the originality of presentation. Graduates of this College who had the privilege of making Drama- tic Club talk about Mother Moffitt with affection and reminiscent smiles, while they recall some incident of rehearsing The Taming of the Shrew, or The Littlest Shepherd. College parties lack something not replaceable because Miss Moffitt's fun and vivacity are not there. We miss her friendly smile and wise counsel. But we get letters and pictures sometimes from her new home in far-away Florida that make us envious. Miss Moffitt with her new hair-bob looks younger and livelier than ever. Miss Moffitt's new boy-friend Cwhom the pictures show to be an ador- able neighbor youngster of threeb, her quickly assumed church duties, her delightful excursions in the new car, her stories of droll or exciting experiences-all these show us that she is enjoying her new surroundings, and is making friends and being a friend as she did here. And so, to Miss Moffitt in the Southland, we send,fnot hail and farewell --but our best wishes and sure knowledge that life will be full of opportunities for continued service, and of interesting possibilities always, of friends, and health, and the true joy of living. FLORA M. STUART MISS FLORA M. STUART Miss Flora M. Stuart came to Bridgewater as a teacher in 1891. She was a grad- uate of the Bridgewater Normal School in the class of 1888, and had already taught in Ayer, Fairhaven, and Newton. Her coming was the beginning of a period which was marked not only for its length, but for the amount and quality of the service which she rendered to the School and to the people of Bridgewater. When M iss Stuart came to the School, there was no separate practice school direct- ly connected with the Normal School. Similar work, however, was carried on in a part of one of the town school buildings. Here Miss Stuart taught, and students were sent to practice. Soon afterwards, the new building was built, which included seven classrooms for a Model School of 175 pupils in eight grades. In 1894, a kindergarten was added, and later a ninth grade. At that time, Mr. Albert Gardner Boyden was principal of the Normal School, and Miss Lillian Hicks head of the Model School and Director of Training. On through the years, through the growth of the School to its present proportions and status, through the changes in the appearance of the campus and changes in the teaching staffs, the first grade in the practice school continued to be a place where little children were given the finest teaching and the most careful training by a teacher whose energy was unflagging, and who never allowed her methods to grow stale or narrow, for Miss Stuart studied constantly and offered to her children nothing but the very best of modern practice, and the very best procedures that her unremitting loving enthusiasm could devise. From that room also went young men and women who had gained in their practice period a vision of the possibilities of the real education of little children, --a vision that never left them, but influenced their whole lives, and through them, the lives of many hundreds of their pupils. lt is impossible to calculate the effect of the life and labor of such a teacher. Al- though M iss Stuart early established a wide reputation as a special ist in primary educa- tion whose room was visited by interested teachers from far and near, it is not as an expositor of method that she will be longest remembered. Men and women now in the thick of community affairs were started upon their school life by Miss Stuart, and have been the better and stronger all their lives for the lessons not in reading alone, but in self-control, industry, honesty, and unselfishness which they learned in Miss Stuart's room. Teachers and administrators are passing on daily in their own school contacts the educational ideals that were clarified and confirmed in Miss Stuart's room. And so,ito retirement, but not to a retirement of idlenessq for Miss Stuart has been for many years, and still continues to be, the tireless Secretary of the Alumni Association of the State Teachers College at Bridgewater. Here also, she serves the interests of graduates and of the College. We wish for her all the best that life can hold, and assure her of our appreciation. CLASS ODE We've come to the end of four long years, Years that today seem short: We've harvested riches of knowledge, And now we leave the port. We've set our ship a-sailing On a yet uncharted sea, And the beacon light ever burning Shall guide us on for thee. Chorus Dear B.T.C., we leave thee, Our destinies unknown: But we shall always love thee Where-e're we chance to roam. We've rigged our great ship like those of old, Our sails are standards high, We'll teach thy true doctrines forever, Beneath the wide world sky. Then when our journey's over And the work we've done for thee, We will turn our ship For the home trip, And sail for B.T.C. Lillian M. Cleary. Music by Eleanor Hall s 3 35 3 3 3 32 25 E 5 3 5 j?

This has been a progressive class with many ideas and the courage to carry out, modify, or discard them as was deemed best. lt has witnessed many changes in the administration of the college and has been more or less the tryout class, but has a- dapted itself quickly and easily to the changing system. lt has contributed much to the social, sports, and musical sides of the college life. lVlay each member retain the spirit of youth, spontaneity of cooperation, willingness to understand, and power of clear thinking characteristic of the class as a whole. Mary Donahue, Secretary 21 FREDERIC NICKOLAS AGNETTA 469 Adams Street, Ashmont. Dapper Fred, the literary critic from Dor- chester, the strong silent man of the Class of '37, Philosophically-minded, Freddie, al- though at times bored, occasionally made brilliant contributions. ELIZABETH VAN DE SANDE ALLEN 3 Waban Street, Wellesley. Handbook Com- mittee 3g Hobby Club 1. Betty is usually wearing a smock, carrying a work of art, and headed for the art depart- ment. Very quiet lexcept in the dorm, we hearl Betty silently follows her own inclina- tions in her own way. Her outward composure is imperturbable. LEO ALPERT 96 Waumbeck Street, Roxbury. Treasurer of Alpha 45 Science Club 3, 4. Assuming that the cat that walks alone catches the most mice, we predict that Leo will have more of the furry fellows about his door than the Bishop of Bingen. He moves about, calm, prudent, and productive. We see little of him but feel that behind that inscrutable smile there is personality even as we know that there is intellectuality. ANNA ANDERSON 201 Howard Street, West Bridgewater. Class Representative 1, 2, 43 Day Student Council, Secretary 1, 2, 3, 45 Student Council 1, 2, 4. Truly everyone's friend-A capable, good humored, with a fine sense of values, entirely without selfishness or conceit. Her sincere personality, understanding smile, and cheery words have endeared her to all. I TS -1. 4.4-c,,'C,f'!...1.-14 4,5 ii' . .. F' h, l I . p V 1 4 -' ' 22 C v ALPHA LW' K :nc 1-1+ H .

Modern art is the keynote to Madeline's whole series of interests f-color, the theatre, peasant workmanship, Vincent Van Gogh: she appreciates them all. For recreation, she really prefers walking in the rain, canoe- ing, or archery. And would you know that which Madeline avoids at all times? Of course it's Victorianism: ----- and politics!

Between solemn resolutions to study hard Mary does more pleasant things, such as re- viving the ancient art of conversation, es- pecially dialogue. Her eyes express what she does not speak. Small wonder the merrie lassie is so popular with one of the lads! NELLlE GRACE BEATON 80 Lakewood Road, South Weymouth.

Nellie provides us with an example of the magnetic personality. From the first day at Bridgewater she has been an outstanding member of our class. A zealous student, a charming conversationalist, a capable or- ganizer, she is one ofthe backbones ofthe class. THELMA HOWARD BECK 40 Dudley Street, New Bedford. Scouts 1: Dormitory Council 3, 4: Secretary Pro-tem 4: Woodward Dormitory, Head Proctor 3, Vice-President 4: Bowling 3, 4. lt's the seaman's life for Thelma, for how enthusiastic she grows as she thinks of sailing and boats, and moonlight on the water! Paradoxically enough, she loves to sleep, too, and we hear she teaches a history lesson which sends the would-be experts scurrying to the shelter of the text-books. Even her dislikes are widely scattered, including chop suey, guns, and sewing. 23 .gf ,z f -if ff 1 X f f , , .PH ,A i CARlLYN CHAPIN BELL 1 Normal Street, Worcester. Kindergarten Primary Club 1, 2, 4. Carilyn has more depth than her gay sur- face reveals. Because of her constant knitting, she has earned the nickname Madame Defarge . Her easy, carefree manner and her attractive clothes make her a well-known figure on the campus. X 1 VERNE ELWOOD BODWELL 37 Covington Street, Bridgewater. Basket- ball 1, 2, 3, 4. Perhaps the greatest recommendation of Verne's personality is that he could get up in the middle of the nightffwell at 6:30 A.M. anyhowfto go on bird walks, and still be a part of the hectic life that goes on the rest of the day. ELLA M. BONYMAN 79 Stedman Street, Quincy. Glee Club 4. Although Ella has been with us only a year her lovable smile is known to us all. Her sunny personality has won her many friends. We admire her for her versatility in art and music. Her snappy conversation has Iivened our commuting days. EDWARD ROBERT BOWLES 287 Reed Street, Rockland. Baseball 1, 2, 3, 45 Coach 3, 43 Captain 43 Basketball 3, 43 Soccer 2, 3. He has perhaps the happiest smile it is our luck to see about. The perennial sophomore- one of the first really natural athletes Bridge- water has ever had. 24 ALPHA 01937 RICHARD EDWARD BRADFORD Winthrop Street, Kingston. Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 45 Science 2, 3, 45 Topics of the Day Club. Brad has the disconcerting faculty of appear- ing monstrously humorous, while predicting perfectly amazing profits, academic and other- wise. The colonel is an army feller, being particularly skilled in recounting and adding to the legend of that august body. Most fellows would have been lost forever to their mates. His roaring manner might affright you, but he's really gentle as a kitten, except perhaps on the basketball floor. Unaffected and especially efficient along scientific lines, he is also a sure cure for the blues. JOHN T. BRODERICK M. S., Boston College. 24 Beech Street, East Walpole. John comes to us from Boston College where he has already received his Master's Degree. He is primarily interested in Science, which we readily guessed from seeing him so fre- quently in the lab here. Capable-reliablew independentewe know he'Il be a success.

Frannie can, and often does, supply the miss- ing facts of the choicest stories. She gets around and learns things with an enviably unfailing promptness and energy. Her devil- may-care attitude cannot hide her generosity, willingness and ability to work hard, with or for others. AVIS ARLENE BROWN Congress Street, Amesbury. Camera Club 1, 2, 3, 4: Campus Comment News Editor 45 Dormitory Council 4: Secretary Woodward Dormitory 45 Golf 3, 4: Bowling 3. Art is Avis' stronghold, and design her specialty. Her Saturdaytrips to art school have shown the sincerity of this enthusiasm and made many of our would-be artists gaze at her with awe. She has also an interest in horseback riding, golf, dramatic novels and photography. Imperturbable yet retiringf even to the point of shynessfAvis is a paradox. 25 hawcw -' -V. -S, - l5,'2.

Buckey is genuine, unaffected, a good sport. She speaks and acts considerately, with care for the other fellow's feelings. Studious and capable, Buckey does much for which she expects no reward except the satisfaction of having helped. She's a doer and an athlete. MARJORIE lRENE BUTTERFIELD 112 Fremont Street, Lowell.

She likes dancing, tennis, letter-writing and meeting people and going to new places. The truly serious side of her nature likes science, radio, electricity, machinery, and all sorts of ologies.

Tall and dignified, Ruth is everywhere known as a musician-in the Choir and Glee Club here, as organist and teacher of piano at home. and as a devotee of opera and sym- phony at all times. We can plainly see that music has her heart, but we think that science must occupy at least half of her left ventricle. NIARGARET ANNA CALLERY 134 Main Street, Bridgewater. Hobby Club 3, 4: Topics of the Day Club 3, 4: Newman Club 1, 4: Campus Comment 4: Modern Dance Group 1, 2: Golf 2, 3: Archery 3. Besides her better-known activities in his- tory and literature, Peg indulges in music, and her collection of famous orchestral re- cordings is one of her treasures. She likes symphony and opera, Ferde Grofe's arrange- ments, swimming, drama, and New Hamp- shire. She is conscientious and capable with a sincere friendliness that is an outstanding characteristic. 26 ALPHA 01937 MARJORIE RUTH CANDY 35 Lakewood Road, South Weymouth.

It is hard to find anything that Marge dis- likes, but that doesn't mean that she is a negative person. On the contrary, she is an enthusiastic supporter of W. A. A. and a keen student particularly along scientific lines. She is noted for her infectious giggle, and is always willing to say a good word about her singing ability. SHIRLEY ALYS CASHIN 43 Locust Street, Brockton. Topics of the Day 4: Bowling 1, 2: Hockey 1, 2: Bicycling 2, 3, 4: Tennis 2, 3. Always cheerful, always ready to helpfa real friend. ln dress, Shirley is an advance copy of Harper's Bazaar, the envy of many a campus co-ed. Companionable, earnestfshe goes her way quietly but may be relied upon to have given her best to all her activities. HELEN MARGARET CASSELS 24 Jay Street, North Attleborough. W. A. A.

She is an en- thusiastic camper as well, and performs with skill in the modern dance. In the class- room, her interests lie in the realm of history and geography. And does she have dislikes? Just ask Phyl her opinions on those who blind- ly follow the crowd ...... or serve her an egg for breakfast. LOUISE EUDORA COLLINS 231 River Road, New Bedford.

Louise has never been known to waste a minute, works hard and definitely, walks determinedly from one duty to another wear- ing a ready, quick smile behind which there is an equally alert sense of humor and a polite manner.

Garden Club 3, 4: Newman Club 4: Bicycling 2, 3, 4: Head of Bicycling 3. A tall girl, serious and seemingly quiet. Delights in keeping bicycle pedals in motion, and everything in order at Tillinghast. Maddy has lovely clothes and always appears spic and span--a truly refreshing person.

During baseball season, Helen is busy play- ing or umpiring on the campus, or, with her enthusiasm for thesport, plus that for mathe- matics, we find her studying the batting averages in the big leagues. Helen is the rare type of person who can rely upon her own interests alone for enjoyment. KATHERINE MARIE DONAHUE 28 Palmer Street, Somerset. President of Student Cooperative Association 49 Day Stu- dent Council 1, 2, 3: Class Vice President 2, 33 Social Activities Committee 2, 33 Hobby Club 1. Unaffected and gently good-natured is Katherine, with a quiet way of getting things done. Frequently caught in a pensive mood, she is, too, often amusing in a refreshingly youthful way. Her tranquillity and charm- ing amiability inspire the confidence of her many friends. MARY ELIZABETH DONAH UE 33 Florence Street, Taunton.

Representative An indispensable member of the class of '37, capable, dependable, co-operative. She is candid but in a tactful admirable way that has given her a high place in the estimation of her classmates. In her gentle, sympathetic manner-topped by a dry subtle humor Mary can always be depended upon to do even more than her share and to do it well. THEODORE EHRHARDT 8 Stetson Street, Whitman.

Ver- satility is his virtue: plays soccer, dances, knows music, plays a piano exceptionally well ---- is independent and dependable. 31 il Q 0 I QM gi 'v.

Council 4: Head of Health 3: Basketball 1: Modern Dan- cing 3, 4. Mild and droll, precise and analytic, Louise is very earnest in discussion and yet quietly humorous. Sauntering from the dorm to classes, never hurrying, she retains her presence of mind in all situations, is always courteous and considerate, appreciates good literature. RITA ELIZABETH FARLEY 87 Wellington Avenue, Pittsfield. Newman Club 1, 3, 4, Vice-President 3: French Club 1: Hobby Club 3, 4: Kindergarten Primary 4. Rita, prim, but likably so, perhaps because of her smile, likes to think and think hard, also enjoys in a quiet way, a good time and a Mbit of nonsense now and then . Rita's persistency, industriousness, and art of get- ting along with people should help her easily through life. FLORENCE MARY FERGUSON 16 Everett Street, Rockland. Class Day Committee 2: Inter-Club Council 4: Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4: Accompanist 2, 3, 4: President 4: A Capella Group 3, 4: Chapel pianist 2, 3, 4: College Choir 1, 2, 3, 4. Flossie and her flying Paderewski fingers are familiar to all of us: and we can't forget her Lily Pons voicefand what she has meant to Glee Club! Besides being famous musi- cally!-she has a jolly, carefree attitude and lends a colorful note to any occasion with her bright clothes. EDITH JESSIE FISKE 158 Main Street, Greenfield. Scouts 1: Woodward Dormitory, Vice-President pro- tem 4: Vice-President of Class, pro-tem 4: Chairman of Class Day Committee 4: Bowling 3, 4: Head of Bowling 3: Badminton 4. No one will be surprised to know that Edith's favorite sport is swimming, nor that she likes to ride in thunder storms, and hates knitting bags and wearing rubbers. And certainly not one eyelash will quiver in surprise at the announcement that her favorite member of Bridgewater society is Mr. Durgin. 32 ALPHA I I I 01937 MARION COOMBS FULLER 58 Royal Street, Wollaston. Dormitory Council 1: Garden Club 1: Topics of the Day 2, 3, 4, Treasurer 4: Dancing 1, 2. Marion has depth of character and an analy- tic mind which cannot be deceived. We sincerely believe that her career will not begin and end with being a class-room teacher but she will be found ih Who'sWho in Education. MARIAN GALLIPEAU 78 Pleasant Street, Mansfield. Garden Club 1: Newman Club 1, 2, 3, 4: Topics of the Day Club 3, 4: Hobby Club 3, 4: Basketball 1: Archery 2, 3: Golf 2, 3. lt is difficult to say whether IVlarion prefers dormitory or commuting as she tried first one and then the other with true impartiality. To history and literature, however, she is more constant: and though she seldom dares confess it, she has a decided taste for vivid crimson colors. Handwork and book binding are activities in which, Marion insists, she simply was never meant to engage for pleasure. FLORENCE MABEL GILLIS 61 Sycamore Avenue, Brockton. Student Council 4: Chairman Library Committee 4: Glee Club 2, 3, 4: Library Club 3, 4: Dancing 2, 3, 4: Hockey 2: Basketball 2: Soccer. Flossy's talent for the modern dance is recognized throughout the college. Flitting hither and yon, accompanying herself with a giggle, outside of the dance class Flossy has proved her sportsmanship by being able to laugh at her own mistakes and sympathize with others who have erred. CATHERINE MARY GODSILL 41 Grove Avenue, Brockton. Newman Club 4: 'Hockey 1, 2, 3: Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4: Base- ba I 2, 3, 4. Participating in all sports has not taken away Kay's enthusiasm and industry con- cerning studies. She's always willing to help a friend in need along any line whatever be- cause her general all-round ability is not only known, but sought. . ' W ,l, ima v a 5 .

So often misunderstood because of her varying moods-aloof3 harum-scarumg merry: moody. Very independent in her thinking and actions. A grand athlete although in- clined to play too hard. She has no use for hypocrites, handshakers, or Joe-plugs who work for a mark rather than knowledge.

Gracious, soft-spoken, sincere, Patsy works with serious purpose, very conscientiously and systematically. She is a student who generously cooperates with her classmates and asks nothing from them in return. Pat can always be depended upon ---as can her smiling greeting and gentle manner. DOROTHY LOU lSE HALL 149 Washington Street, Whitman.

A smile lights up her face showing lovely teethvthat's your first impression of Dot. She is a girl of many talents-she sings well, knows all about the latest books, and has a good business head-all that found in one gir . ELEANOR WILLIAMS HALL 122 Cambridge Street, Fall River.

She has thrilled the frightened Freshmen and soothed the sulking Senior! Her musical talents are enhanced by a pleasing personality, big brown eyes, and a friendly smile. With Muriel f Business precedes pleasure the motto of a successful teacher. CHRISTIE CORINNE HAYDEN 1097 South Franklin Street, Brookville. Garden Club 15 Glee Club 45 Campus Com- ment 3, 45 Hockey 15 Golf 2. Genial, fastidious, extremely loyal, Christie can generally be found either in her newly acquired room at Wood or in the Commuter's room where she spent her spare time during her first three years. Equipped with note- books, typewriter, and at least three books she feels appropriately outfitted for a session of study. DANIEL LUTHER HOLMES 95 Bellevue Street, Newton. Men's Club, Treasurer 35 Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4, President 35 Manager Baseball Team 35 Culture Fund Committee 3, 45 Science Club 2, 3, 45 Men's Club Play 1, 25 Nlen's Director of N. Y. A. 3. Want nails, hammer, the mail, or an N. Y. A. job? Get hold of Dan-fthat is, if you can find him. Kept in a constant whirl by his many activities, Dan is the nearest ap- proach to perpetual motion that we have yet seen. If he should decide to abandon his career as a teacher we see many fields open to this versatile and reliable fellow, but in the foreground is the theater with Dan in the role of manager, actor, and stage hand. PHYLLIS ALBERTA HORSIVIAN B. S., Simmons College. 15 Prospect Avenue, Brockton. German Club 4. Quiet, conscientious, sympathetic Phyllis came to us from Simmons. She was a valuable addition to our class. Keenly interested in drama, skating and library work. 35 JAMES Nl URRAY HORTON 16 Orchard Street, Taunton. B. T. C. A. A. Council 3, 45 Social Activities Committee 4, Vice President 4: Soccer 2, 3, 4, Manager 3, 4, Baseball 1, 2, 4. With a large, infectious grin, Jimmy bus- tles with activity rushing from school store to gym to dormitory. Friendly, obliging, and loyal to his ideals and to his friends, he retains his dignity even when attired in soccer togs or when wearing his hat with brim up- turned in front. DOROTHEA RUTH HOUGHTON 222 West Nlain Street, Avon. Hockey 2, 3: Tenniquoit 2. N A little Dot with a lot of dash and a love for travel. Possesses note-books of high value ---fwith assignments completed in every de- tail. The kind of a person one may take into confidence with confidence. ROSAIVIOND IMHOF 57 Central Street, Abington. Glee Club 25 German Club 3, 47 Soccer 1, 2, 3, 45 Basket- ball 19 Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4. Her sense of humor and her laughing eyes are a pleasant contrast to her otherwise serious expression. A scholar, one who has read his- tory and literature extensively that is Rosa- mond fnice to be with, placid, tolerant, philosophical. ROBERT COPELAND JACKSON 101 Sycamore Street, Brockton. Although Bob is a transfer from Urbana Junior College, he is now an essential part of our class. We are not certain whether he should receive the title of Assistant Dean of Nlen or that of Assistant Janitorrfhe has filled both roles capably. A conscientious pursuer of scientific knowledge, Bob can hold his own in the merry maze of wit and humor. 36 ALPHA . 4' 1 1 any w 3 J l x 1 tl ll 01937 y uv' A.,-.iv .

This mathematically inclined graduate student from Northeastern was one of our most pleasant and jovial members. Ever smiling, ever helpful, John's presence has added much to Bridgewater. Q EDITH VIRGINIA JAMES Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4: Dramatic Club, 4. Edie has a flare for the arts--music and drama are her forte. In her southern man- ner she made a most charming leading lady for the Men's Club play our Junior year and has given her talents also to both Glee Club and the choir. She's peppy, happy, and fun to be with. HELEN JARUSI K 110 County Street, New Bedford. Day Student Council 3, 49 Class Day Committee 3. Just a wee girl who drives a big car in such a magnetic wayfthat occasionally she finds herself in an accident. Helen is very artistic, and modern to the nth degree. She has a fine sense of humor and is very cooperative. What better qualities may a teacher possess? JOHN AXEL JULIN I 87 Cliffe Avenue, Lexington.

Very, very, modern Lucile is always doing something interestingfffrom conducting a fashion show, to making a survey for a maga- zine -as well as being editor of our book. Her regal walk, spontaneous laughter, keen enthusiasm, and capricious imagination add to the buoyancy of her personality make her alive, vivacious, delightfully youthful. VIRGINIA ROSE KELLEH ER 15 Palmyra Street, Winthrop. Glee Club 2, 35 Newman Club 5 Topics of the Day 3, 45 Hobby Club 2, 35 Hockey 1, 25 Soccer 2, 3. A dainty maiden, refined, gentle, altogether delicately lovely, Virginia moves and speaks softly with a slightly quizzical, reflective expression. Her almost-a-giggle bubbles here and there in her speech. Her genuine interest in people and what they are doing her sympathetic understanding of others make her one of those people we like to have with us. HELEN MARIE KELLY Chandler Street, Holbrook.

ROSE KURTZMAN 134 Main Street, Quincy. Soccer 3. With her greatly dramatic manner and her drawl Rose reminds us of a sweet little girl, but she studies very much like an adult and has full-grown ideas.

Dormitory Council 45 Secretary of Tillinghast 3: House Board 3: Library Club 2, 3, 4: Hobby Club 35 Modern Dancing 2: Tennis. Esther is a retiring person who hides herself behind a broad smile.

She is one of the Tillinghast girls who has found something lor should we say somebodyj es- pecially interesting in this historic town of Bridgewater. DORIS LINCOLN Morrison Road, Wakefield. Glee Club 3, 4. Link, a lengthy blonde, has earned for her- self the reputation for doing the unexpected. When she speaks, all listenfshe has one of the most interesting voices we have ever heard.

Gerry, erect and very dramatic, loves at- tention and gets it-because his appearance is so striking. He is sociable: he sings and composes: his dry, serious humor is amusing: and his antics are refreshing. Perhaps this explains why he is such a nonchalantly effi- cient leader. 40 Q 5'1 'IA 'i 1 , f 1 ,f ' find , fx JC! C C' fd I 7 X A , 1 - ',ff4,f, ,l,., f . .1 I, of I ' ,,' . LI.

Anyone who has ever heard Olga review a travel book in chapel knows that her prime interest is in out-of-the-way corners of the earth, and it follows naturally that she pre- fers history and geography courses. More surprisingly, though, she is enthusiastic over medicine, and hopes that it will sometime be possible for her to study in this field. IRVING ALEXANDER MCDOUGALL 16 Revere Street, Jamaica Plain. Election Committee 3. A never failing source of courage, fortitude and that haven of existence, humor. Philo- sophical always, but never despising reality he has romped through four successful years to the vast delight of his fellows and the deep disgust of the conformists. He shows himself to be most clever by concealing his cleverness. CHARLES FREDERI C MEDVETZ 484 Plymouth Street, Abington.

In the midst of his amusing caprices or in! the depths of despair Charlie is never lost for words. A philosopher at heart, he astounds us with his capacity for work-keep- ing accounts of S. C.

With a knitting bag or a box of paints as munition, Mary produces, in her brusque, cyclonic manner, some awe-inspiring master- pieces. She is supremely optimistic and guaranteed to remain always unruffled. En- tirely self reliant herself, she has earned her right to give unconstrained criticism and advice.

Dorothy Perkins Secretary . . June Sherman Treasurer . Claire Gardner History The freshman year was ushered in with many bonnets, rattles, red caps, and green bows. Our social calendar contained a freshman party, a social, and many many hours of pleasure for everyone. ln our sophomore year, only one division, C4, had the opportunity of practice teaching in the Training School. The other members of the class were busy with their classroom studies and extra-curricular activities. In our junior year, all of us had included in our programs the much anticipated practice teaching, and the B4 division went out teaching for a nine week period in a public school system. The Junior Social, with snow train motif, was the first social event of the year sponsored by the class, while the Junior-Sophomore Prom was prob- ably the most successful formal of the year. The last class of graduating juniors witnessed the happy climax to three years of activity and pleasure. Best of luck to them!

William McGhee Vice President . Priscilla Eisenhaure Secretary . . Rose Leonard Treasurer . Clement Daley History Gone with the wind is the second successful and happy year of the class of '39. Though not as strong as the wind, we gave the Freshmen a stormy initiation. The battle was a close one but we were successful and continued to be so in all school ac- tivities. Well represented in athletics the Sophomore class is deservedly proud of its many members who were active in the school sports. Our first step along the social line was the eventful and time honored Sophomore- Junior Prom in January. The colorful Tyrolian decorations and the gaiety of the dance together with its financial success will long be remembered by those who at- tended. The Sophomore Hop which was held in the spring was the only social which was run entirely by the members of the class and was a financial, as well as a social, success. Doubly rich in knowledge and acquaintances, we look forward with eager anti- cipation to the two years which are ahead. Rose Leonard, Secretary 63 Sophomore Class Roll l Allan, Barbara Sawyer . .

Joseph Lesenechal Vice President . . Anette Breen Secretary . . Edward Tobin Treasurer . Mary O'Rourke History The class of 1940 was forced to submit to the whims of the Sophomores from the moment that they entered Bridgewater. We survived however and soon became full- fledged students. The sack-rush was, as usual, won by the sophomores we have to wait until next year to win this important event. The Freshman party was a great success, and a fine spirit of cooperation was evi- dent among the members of the class of 1940. After November, regular class meetings were held in charge of President Lesenechal. We entertained the student body of the college at the Freshman Social in May. We put into practice all the things we learned at the social affairs run by our superiors. Now that the first year is ended, the Freshmen are looking forward to love, laugh- ter, and learning.

Do you feel a love of growing things? The thrill of nature, new in every mood? Or are you, as your elders think, Precocious infant, robot-souled And robot-minded? Nlarie von Bergen 72 1937 ALPHA STUDENT COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION The Student Co-operative Association is the largest and most important organiza- tion in the college. Upon entering, every student automatically becomes a member of the association. This union of the organizations which supervise all forms of stu- dent activity directly concerned with the functioning of the college is composed of the Student Council, Dormitory Council, Day Student Council, Men's Club, Athletic Associations, and all standing committees. These committees concentrate on special fields of college work, and include the Social Activities Committee, which plans our social calendar: the Lecture Fund Com- mittee, which presents speakers and musical groups of distinction: the Library Com- mittee: the Bulletin Board Committee: the Handbook Committee: the Chapel Com- mittee: the Civic Committee: and the Elections Committee. The purpose of this 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 among the students, and to maintain the high standards of Bridge- water State Teachers College. This objective is attained through the efficient work of the various councils under the leadership and guidance of the Student Council. WONDER I feel so joyous now- As I face the sky.

Ernest Bazinet The Student Council, with its truly representative membership, consists of men and women, day and dormitory students, class and division representatives, and heads of the outstanding activities and standing committees. The work of the Council is to act as intermediary between faculty and students in raising the standards of scholar- ship, conduct, and extra-curricular activities. This group aims to initiate the best movements of student collegiate life on the campus, and to improve and broaden life in the college by making available to the student the best that is possible in cultural and educational achievement. Meetings are held the fourth Friday of the month. Compulsory attendance of all members was agreed upon last year to insure efficiency in the work of the Council. This year, because of the change of training to the senior year, two new positions, the second vice-president and the assistant treasurer, were created to make possible the uninterrupted performance of the Council.

NonaO'Sullivan Through frosty October, the snowy days of December, blustering March, and April's chilly mornings, several hundred commuters travel many miles to spend ten hours a day at Bridgewater. Where do they spend the many leisure hours before and after classes? In the commuters' recreation room, which has taken its place as the center of the women day students' social life. Inviting chairs and decorative table lamps, purchased by our council, were added when the room was redecorated. lt is rumored that in the near future a radio will become part of the furnishings. Knitting a sweater, crocheting a hat that's different , reading Gone With the Wind , discussing the last formal, or just day-dreamingfthat's what the commuters think is time well spent! Our social inclinations lead us into still another activity-A-that of entertaining. We thought a bit, discussed excitedly, made suggestions, worked over plans sand the result? Lovely new chinaware for our hostesses. Interested participants in the entire school program, despite a varied one of our own, we have furnished two rooms in Woodward so that we may stay on the campus to enjoy a concert, a Shakespearean play, a formal, or a French Club meeting. We certainly feel that we belong . Because of the day-student spirit, next year is certain to be one of progress fone in which the day students will continue to contribute to the life of the school as en- thusiastically and constructively as they have in the past.

Thelma Westerling Dormitory Council officially assumed its responsibilities last June when it took charge of a buffet supper for the Class of 1936 on Baccalaureate Sunday. We hope that this function will become one of Bridgewater's traditions. Open House was the first event on the fall program. Alumni Weekend followed closely. Both were highly successful social accomplishments. Approximately six hundred and fifty guests were entertained at each. The coming of Christmas found Dormitory Council members willing helpers at the lovely, and much anticipated, Christmas dinner. To achieve differentiation in permissions has been the goal of the 1937 council. A survey of permissions was made. The usual standard permissions were supplemented by differentiated permissions. The aim was to give all girls more special privileges according to past records and class. The council has enjoyed working with the girls in the dormitories. Their coopera- tion has been greatly appreciated. We hope that we have fulfilled our aims and that our year of leadership has been a successful one.

Esther Levow Treasurer . . . . . . Mary Reidy At the beginning of the school year, the old members of Tillinghast Hall were glad to welcome to the dormitory a large number of newcomers, including two graduate students who added dignity to our group. We were also happy to have Miss Morris and Miss Mullen join us. The new girls showed their ability at entertaining and their good sportsmanship during the initiation party, which was held at Hallowe'en. There have been several changes made in Tillinghast which have served to give it a much more attractive appearance. The dormitory has been fitted out with a new coat of paint on the exterior. Another pleasant addition is the new radio on third floor: the appearance of the radio room has also been much improved by its new fur- nishings. These and similar improvements have provided the dormitory with a cheer- ful and homelike atmosphere. Those of us who are graduating hope that future members of Tillinghast will ex- perience as enjoyable and as happy a time there as the present residents have had. Esther Levow, Secretary WOODWARD HALL President . . ......... Wilma Quinn Vice President . . Thelma Beck Secretary . . . Avis Brown Treasurer . . . . ...... Virginia Cochrane Woodward Hall has endeavored to make its already pleasant atmosphere just a little more homelike through new and colorful furniture. Outstanding among the new furnishings are a radio for the reception room, some lamps for the recreation room, and a new chair for Miss Pope's office so that it may be used for another reception room. We all appreciate the new lights in the closets and the bright new paint. Among our social activities were the freshman party, the Hallowe'en party, and the Christmas party. On November 20 we held a successful social and also carried on several sales that were profitable through the year. May next year be as happy and successful.

Doris Thompson The swinging rhythms of the dance music announced to an expectant student body that the first social affair of the year, the Acquaintance Social, had begun. In such a way was the important and enjoyable work of the Student Activities Committee started for the year. Bridgewater considers Social activities a very important part of its curriculum --- and quite the nicest part, in the opinion of the socially-minded students. With the hurried moving of beds in the dormitory, arrived the much-anticipated Alumni Weekend, which opened hilariously with the Dramatic Club performance on November 14 of Where's My Money? , filling the auditorium with feminine peals and masculine roars of appreciation. Once more a magic hand transforms the usually drab gymnasium into a gay rendezvous for the Alumni Tea Dance where the heroes of the Alumni Soccer Game limp around the dance floor. December 4 finds a flutter of formality on the campus as every one joyfully dons evening dress for the first formal event of the year. To the strains of beautiful music, a rapt audience sits motionless listening to the Harvard Orchestra. Close on the heels of this comes the second formal event of the year-'fthe S.C.A. Formal Dance. Shining satin, gleaming lame, now clothe the dignified dancers side by side with the black and white of tuxedos. All too soon, the many events so avidly awaited are past and we have only the mem- ory of them, or at the most, some small souvenir for our scrap book. June4the month of seniors-- has come. From one place to another they dash gayly, yet always some- what sadly under the everpresent shadow of that coming final goodby. Eventually, Baccalaureate foretells the nearness of Graduation. That day at last has comeffthe traditional lvy March and Daisy Chain occur to the beat of marching feet, and for the last time, we say goodbye to the Class of 1937 with Alma Mater. We can most assured- ly say that this year has been a great social success both for the students and S.C.A.

Com- muters and men students are now permitted to join the club, whereas formerly only women students living in the dormitory or in Bridgewater could be members. The club under its new director, Miss Ruth Lowe, put on three performances dur- ing the year: a modern play Where's My Money by Wilbur Braun, presented in the fall: a Christmas playg and David Copperfield in the spring. A luncheon constituted one of the first meetings of the club at which initiation was held and club pins presented to new members. The club attended professional plays during the year from which we gained many valuable ideas as well as enjoyment. Dorothy Cushman, ' ' - 4. Secretary. ,r lvl f ' .

This has come about by the complete re- organization of the staff, and by having a definite program for the enjoyment and education of the members of the staff. The emphasis this year was on news writing in particular, with heads of depart- ments working with their own group. This system of instruction for writing the paper proved most beneficial. Another change initiated this year was a five-column paper with a different style of typography. This year, Campus Comment edited a magazine which provided for the printing of the excellent literary material written by the student body and faculty which cannot be published in a newspaper. During the 1936 New York trip, the editors from Massachusetts conceived the idea of the now organized Association of Massachusetts State Teachers College Publications, whose object is to foster, develop, and elevate the State Teachers College presses in Massachusetts, and this year two meetings of this organization were held, one in Salem and one in Bridgewater. The plan is to have conferences and clinics to help those papers already organized. We feel that through this organization a start has been made toward building up an interest in journalism throughout the state.

Polly Kuchmeister Library Club began this year a little differently from previous years by introducing a more serious type of initiation in the form of a candle-light service. This proved to be very impressive and, we hope, will set a precedent for future initiations. Another new step was the ordering of club pins by many interested members. In keeping with previous years, we joined the Book-of-the-Month club so that we might add to the lending library and thereby make it possible for the students to read the latest fiction and non-fiction. Since Library Club aims to foster literary interest, many new books were reviewed and discussed throughout the year, and the members attended Gielgud's performance of Hamlet in February. The club's social activities terminated with a banquet at the Toll House in the spring. With the guidance and cooperation of Miss Carter, Miss Hill, and Miss Vining, Library Club has experienced a very profitable and enjoyable year. Marjorie Hartford, Secretary 90 1937 CLUBS Row 3-W.

Eileen Creney Secretary . . lone Tysver Treasurer . Marian Fuller A worthwhile club with a worthwhile purpose the stimulation of its members toward keeping informed on the current topics of the day. After a news review and the report on a designated topic, follows the most absorb- ing part of the program--Y an informal, highly animated discussion which never fails to be informative. Stimulating debates and worthwhile outside speakers comprise a fraction of the year's program. We are not exclusively concerned with the intrigues of wars and politics, but seek variety in the fields of art, literature, music, science, invention, etc. Highlighted in the year's events was the club's chapel program, which featured speakers who presented the platforms of the various presidential candidates. The program was climaxed by a straw vote in which the entire student body participated. lone Tysver, Secretary 91 2,4 1937 lm, ALPHA 40, x ami. I -- - l Row 3--E. Gibson, R. Guzzi, H. Mayo, M.

Miss Christi-ne Martin, a graduate of Bridgewater and a former mem- ber of French Club, spoke at the initiation of her trip to France and of her studies at the Sorbonne. French Club has tried three new experiments: the first was the French Club news- paper, publishing news of the club and of the school: the second experiment was that of forming stock companies within the club and putting on skits, sketches, and plays. Our last new idea was the introduction of hobbies into the club meetings for informal- ity. We can truthfully say that all our innovations have been successfully carried out. The annual picnic and the biennial bridge closed a very successful club year. Doris Waters, Secretary 92 1937 CLUBS Row 3-M. Studley, J. Lesenechal, L. Rosenthal, R. Blaney, G. Woodward. Row ZAE.

The aims were C13 to develop a greater friendliness toward Germany, mainly through German correspondence: C23 to promote a greater knowledge of German culture by discussion of German literature, music, and arty and f3j to increase skill in spoken German by speaking as much German as possible at the meetings. Trips to the Germanic Museum, Fine Arts Theatre, to Brockton to hear the Vienna Choir Boys, and speeches by various German exchange professors and students formed a part of the club's programs.

The club enjoys two supper parties during the year, one in the early fall, another in the spring. They are cooked over an open fire in the lower garden. TC's chapel program featured a typical meeting. The meetings are divided into two parts, the first half consisting of an enlightening report, a question and answer period, or a discussion of some phase of horticulture. The latter half of the program is an occupational period, during which members make cuttings or pot plants. Every member is an active contributor to the functioning of the club. lone Tysver, Secretary 94 1937 CLUBS .Q fag, Row 3 E. Levenson, H. Kelley, B. DeWolfe, l. Mattie, M. O'Rourke, M. Shields, G.

Under the able leadership of appointed committees, hilarious, friendly, and educational entertainments have been the result of each meeting. The hobbies of the members ranged from knitting, stamp collect- ing and coin collecting, to horses, poetry, patchwork, and books. An initiating party was held in the autumn and a Christmas party was enjoyed before the holidays. At both affairs the members had a happy time. A movie benefit was given which afforded profitable returns that were used for the college. At the last meeting, which was a beach party, the members climaxed an eventful year.

William Nolan Science Club, the oldest club in Bridgewater Teachers College, provides an oppor- tunity for the student to further his interest in science by carrying scientific question- ing farther than is possible in the regular class work and also to bring about a workable understanding of the latest scientific developments. A real interest in science and a good scholastic rating are the requirements for admission to this club. The activities of the club are varied. Some of the meetings are given over to dis- cussions of new ideas in science while others are devoted to speakers and varied pro- grams arranged by the members themselves. In the spring there are field trips to such places as Woods Hole and the Audubon Bird Sanctuary at Sharon. On trips of this nature much valuable information is obtained through the actual seeing of many things already discussed. Along with the educational activities of the club there are the social events such as initiations, installations, and picnics. Marjorie Candy, Secretary 96 George Howell Ottily Howell Daphne . .

Milton Biller This year has been an especially active one for the men of Bridgewater. The ath- letic program has been supplemented by many activities of a social recreational nature. Night meetings were held monthly in which some of the leading men in Massachusetts education were introduced and addressed the club. Dr. Scott: Mr. Cashman, Super- intendent of Special Education: Mr. O'Keefe, State Statistician of the Department of Education: Mr. Sullivan, Deputy Commissioner of Education: Mr. Gruver, Superin- tendent of Schools in Lynn: all offered messages of value to the club. Female impersonators were in their element on March 12 when the Men's Club play, A Full House , was presented. Another high spot of the club's activities was the Amateur night, held in the Horace Mann auditorium on April 2. In May, a ban- quet was given which superintendents of surrounding towns attended. Attendance at the meetings has been very encouraging and the general coopera- tiveness of the group seems to point to even greater success in the next few years.

Margaret McGloin With its first experimental year past, Newman Club, with the help of Mr. McGur- ren, the faculty adviser, launched a most successful program. ' Since there were well over seventy members, the first step was to submit our con- stitution to the New England Federation of College Catholic Clubs. In January our club was accepted as a member of the Federation, and the Degree Team from Boston conducted a very effective initiation. Interesting speakers were provided for all the meetings, to which all members of the faculty were invited. Many informative lectures, some illustrated, were presented, and a question box was maintained. Besides holding private parties of its own, the club entered into many of the Feder- ation's activities. A large delegation of members attended the Annual Charity Ball in Boston and similar affairs throughout the year. To close the year, Newman Club had a week-end in the spring, and invited the Federation members to attend. The two big events on the program were a communion breakfast and a formal dance, both of which were very successful. Now that it is really in step with the other older organizations, Newman Club looks forward with confidence to another year. Marjorie Hartford, Secretary 99 , , 1937 ALPHA Row 3iE. Skahill, J.

CAMERA CLUB President . .... . . . Joseph Chicetti Vice President . Thelma Westerling Secretary . . Barbara Polsey Treasurer ........ Marilyn Francis Camera Club has enjoyed a most successful and profitable year which was in- spired by the enthusiastic interest of the members in the various phases of photography. As the membership is limited to twenty, only four new members were admitted this year. Several unusual views of the campus and buildings were taken during the year and many were used in connection with other school activities. Aside from the regular business meetings we enjoyed several social evenings, the initiation party being in the form of a Scavenger hunt. We are especially proud of our chapel program which depicted the development of the camera from ancient times to the present. We hope that as a result of our work this year, our members have developed a thorough understanding of photography. Barbara S. Polsey, Secretary 100 1937 CLUBS Row 4'---M. Harrington, J. Kimball, M.

Henry Paterson The Men's Glee Club succeeded in accomplishing the seemingly impossible when it made its first public appearance in three years before a large audience at the Horace Mann auditorium on April 9. Every effort was made to raise the level of the organization and this desire resulted in the framing of a constitution and a general recognition by the college. Men's Glee Club furnished the tenors and bases for the A Cappela group, the new- est vocal organization in the college. Rehearsals were, at times, rather poorly attended, because of the senior and junior training periods and the lure of athletics. Consequently, the men of the organization are to be congratulated for having overcome these obstacles. May Men's Glee Club express its sincere gratitude to Miss Frieda Rand for her un- ceasing effort and guidance? Without her, we couldn't have gone on. Philip Farnham, Secretary 102 1937 CLUBS Row 4-M.

With the assistance of a well- known guest artist the concert was very successful and was enjoyed by all who attended. The club also assisted at Baccalaureate. At this time we realized our loss of the senior members and our talented accompanists, Miss Florence Ferguson and Miss Ruth Calen.

WOMEN'S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Women's Athletic Association, which includes all women students, aims to establish a permanent interest in physical recreation, to cooperate with the depart- ment of physical education, and to inculcate ideals of Service, Stability, Sportsman- ship, and Scholarship in the lives of all women students. Its program of sports is a wide one, and girls may participate in almost any of the popular women's sports during their season. Opportunity is offered for both indi- vidual and group activities. This year the association is attempting to have competition in all sports between the Red and White Teams instead of differentiating the teams by classes. This plan is similar to those used in other colleges in order to make for better competition and to give the most benefit to the greatest number of girls. New game equipment has been purchased to keep up with the interest in bad- minton and ping-pong. A committee of the freshmen W. A. A. leaders is renovating the Woodward basement game-room for the use of all women students. We have had beneficial contacts with other Teachers Colleges this year in the An- nual Conference at Westfield, the Winter Sports Week-end at North Adams, and the Basketball Play-Day at Salem.

Gordon Parsons Vice President . . James Horton Secretary . . Benjamin Bump Treasurer ...... . Thomas Newbury On the arrival of the 1936-37 season, B. T. C. began a new era in athletics with the passing of the student-coach system. The soccer team enjoyed its most successful season in years, winning six games and losing only three. The crowning event of the season was a 1-0 victory over Fitchburg on F. T. C.'s home ground, the first victory for the Red and White in seven years, brought about as Captain Scottie Parsons closed a brilliant four-year starring career with the all-important goal. Under the capable management of Dick Zeoli, a fine schedule was arranged for the basketball team. A veteran team, well-schooled in fundamentals by lVlr. Huffing- ton last season, continued its fine work with the aid of much additional polishing by our popular new athletic director, Nlr. Nleier. Two victories over our arch-rivals from upstate, the last a hair-raising affair, in themselves made the season a success. With victories over F. T. C. in both soccer and basketball, it remains for the base- ball team to make '36-37 one of the most fruitful years in B. T. C.'s athletic history. 112 1937 ATHLETICS Flow 2-A. Dorosz, W. McGhee, C.

Paterson THE SOCCER SEASON 1937 The soccer team had a very successful season this year, winning six games and losing three. ln the opening game of the season, we journeyed to Dudley to play the Nichols Junior College. B. T. C. started off on the right foot by defeating them 9-0. The forward line although scoring at will, showed that it needed more polish in pass- ingg the defense was good, not allowing Nichols inside the penalty area except on long kicks. Next, we traveled to Cambridge to play M.l.T. It was a very poor day, as it rained throughout the game. Bridgewater lost by a score of 4-1. ln this game the whole team showed that it needed more fight. On the following Wednesday, the team went to New Bedford to play the Textile School. The fellows showed that they had ironed out the trouble of the previous game, as they held New Bedford to a 1-0 victory. Saturday again turned up rainy as we played host to Tabor Academy. We were lucky to beat them 2-1. The following Saturday the team again went visiting, this time to Springfield where we lost a 4-0 decision. After a ten day layoff we went to Marion and defeated Tabor 7-1. Then came the objective game of the year. We traveled to Fitchburg, and played the toughest game of the season, defeating them 1-0. This paid us back for some of the other losses which we suffered in the past. We wound up the season by beating the Harvard J. V. team by a score of 4-3 and then the Alumni by a score of 2-1. 113 1937 ALPHA BASKETBALL TEAM Much credit must be given to Coach Frederick A. Meier for Bridgewater's second consecutive successful basketball season. The season's high light was the team's re- taining the Harrington Trophy by defeating Fitchburg twice, to the scores of 43-21 and 35-34. Once again excellent school spirit was displayed by the 200 loyal rooters who accompanied the players. Fine team-play was perhaps the most significant reason for the large number of Bridgewater's victories. Again this year, a Junior Varsity was maintained and it is from this source that Bridgewater's future greats will arise. Varsity Schedule Junior Varsity Schedule Harvard J. V. Am.

Out come two violins and fyou guessed itftwo long-haired virtuosos. However, the next car contains the other members of the band and from the trunk on the back of the car is lifted a drum, emblazoned with the name of the organization, 'John B. Arrows and his Singing Sailors'. The instruments are carried inside, the microphone and the amplifiers are soon set up and the boys start swinging. After many difficulties the orchestra committee finally succeeded in engaging this popular band. Many on the committee wanted a 'name' band but when the chair- man tried to get the band of Wun Bum Note and his Yen-Ho'ers he was told that for the stipend involved he could have only one piccolo player and two sheets of music. The faculty now arrive in accordance with an unwritten custom which says that students must always be last at a dance. They are escorted to their seats by the hos- pitality committee under the supervision of Etta Kett. Having been seated in con- ventional order they are ready to receive the student body. The first of the students arrive and the dance is on! The floor will not be overcrowded because of an automatic adjustment that takes place. From eight to ten-thirty, stu- dents will be arriving, and from ten-thirty to twelve, students will be leaving. Hence the number of dancers will be constant. Intermission, despite the refreshment committee, goes off smoothly. At least on the surface. Fro Joy collected refreshment tickets but there were one or two re- peaters nevertheless. CI will not disclose the methodj. After a suitable period of respite, the orchestra, having enjoyed its smoke singly and collectively, resumes its orchestration and the dancers straggle down from the balcony by one's and two's. The one's are those who have become estranged during intermission because of some slight misunderstanding. However, since dancing is a cooperative effort, they are soon together again, in body if not in spirit. By this time the old stand-by lines are beginning to sound worse than trite. Isn't the music grand, Aren't the decorations grand, Weren't the refreshments just too, too-- Isn't there a grand crowd here lsn't that singer grand and so on, until you have a grand headache. Then, too, one is hard put, if one is a male, to find a new position during the interim between dances. Position one, or hands in pockets, is strictly taboo: so is position two, thumbs in vest armholes, as also is position three, or hands across the table. The only appropriate positions are: one, arms folded across chest: two, arms in back, one hand clutched in the other: three, hands straight at sides: and four, the Napoleonic, although it is not in as good standing as the others. However, time flies and at last the band swings into the strains of How can I leave thee --and the dance is over. Then commences a mad rush of the few couples remaining to be the first out the door. The 12:29 deadline seems nearer than near. Alas, one poor girl has rung the dormitory doorbell at 11:29 on the dot. Ah! well, dollar watches aren't infallible. And it did seem strange not to see anyone else waiting at the gate! Too late now! Br-r-r-ring. The first couple check in at 12:25 and the last at 12:29:30. The first had Bulovas, the last Elgins. r Good byes are over and the gallant swains swarm swashingly carward. The whir- ring of starters, the click of gears, and the honking of horns as the cars start home- ward, rises on the night air. Good night, ladies. Romance is speeding homeward, hunched over the wheel, looking for an open hot dog stand while you, unromantically romantic in curlers and creams, gather about the cookie jar. Good night, ladies. Good night. 117 COIVI MENCEM ENT EXERCISES BACCALAUREATE . ........ . June 13, 1937 Dr. Zenos E. Scott, Speaker PROIVIENADE .... .

The ivy, which is planted, and also carried by each graduate, symbolizes the spirit of comradeship and good-fellowship. The daisy-chain carried by the Junior women represents a guard of honor for the Seniors. Finally, the Alma Mater, sung by the Seniors at the conclusion of the March, signifies the continual renewal of their loyalty for Bridgewater. 118 X TRAINS AND LILACS Pounding of millions of wheels on miles of tired tracks! the staff on which the moody melody of scenery writes itself. The theme ru ns sad with paint-starved houses close by chicken-coops and staggering trellises. Children leave their play and run to hang on sagging fences straining trainward, fascinated. Family washings bravely flutter over rusty parts of Fords and oil-tanks. A Composer changed the theme, I think. He saw the shirt-sleeved men, the women, careless-drest. He put lilacs there, Beauty-laden. M arie von Bergen DESOLATION I The dead tree stands alone. Grim and dark 'gainst the shadowed sky, Its twisted branches raised on high Murmur a low and mournful cry. Il The dead tree stands alone. No wandering herd will stop to browse Beneath its bent and scraggly boughs. The neighboring earth has felt no ploughs. lll The dead tree stands alone. The whistling wind with wailing sounds, Flicks through its leafless branches, round Its battered trunk, like baying hound. IV The dead tree stands alone.
