KELLY PRESIDENT ALPHA 19 4 PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF THE STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE BRIDGEWATER, MASSACHUSETTS VOLUME NO. XLII CLASS ODE We hail thee, Alma Mater, Thy name has ever stood For service, truth and freedom For love and human good. One hundred years established With progress as thy aim Has spread to far off places The honor of thy name. A hundred classes praise thee From earth to arching skies In one great chorus singing Their acclamations rise. May hundreds more be added May hundreds look to thee In singing, Alma Mater Our college — B. T. C. Gertrude King DEDICATION To Alice B. Beal, Supervisor of Training from 1928-1940, and to Gordon L. Reynolds, Teacher of Art from 1932 to 1939, whose leadership and service to Bridgewater have established them as people whose example we hope in some measure to emulate, we respectfully dedi- cate this book. ALICE B. BEAL Members of the faculty and student body regret that one of the most popular instructors has left us this year. However, great pride is taken in the fact that Miss Beat is an alumna as well as a faculty member and that she was chosen for this position of State Supervisor of Elementary Education. Miss Beal was educated in the Quincy public schools. Following her graduation from Bridgewater in 1916, she attended New York University, where she received her bachelor ' s degree and later studied at the Teachers College at Columbia University and Harvard. She received her master ' s degree cum laude from the School of Education at Boston University. In 1927 Miss Beal came to Bridgewater where she has acted as director of training for the past 12 years. She has witnessed the changing of this in- stitution from a Normal School, where two and three year courses were given, to a Teachers College which gave at first just the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Education and in 1938 added the Master ' s Degree in Education. Inter- ested in the extension courses which were started here at this time, Miss Beal has been actively engaged in this work giving a course entitled Trends in Elementary Education. It is for all this experience that we feel that Commissioner Downey could not have chosen a better person than our Miss Beal to fill this new position and we sincerely wish her unbounded success! TO THE STUDENTS AT BRIDGEWATER Mr. Reynolds taught in Stamford, Connecticut, after graduating from Massachusetts School of Art. In 1932 he received his appointment at Bridge- water where he became instructor in Fine Arts and Methodology of Art Education, and Supervisor of Art for the Training School. Having done graduate work at Columbia and Harvard in addition to this experience, he merits his new position and has our best wishes for every possible success. To us the students at Bridgewater, Mr. Reynolds leaves this message: Reminiscence has been made doubly justifiable at Bridgewater State Teachers College by the coming of 1940. It is very significant to me as I look back over the history of Bridgewater that the philosophy of the school has been one of looking ahead and one of creativeness. As we enter a new era we must constantly ask ourselves — Are we ready for the changes that are coming? Some individuals remind us daily that the life of our times is more complex and encompassing than life ever was before. Such statements have undoubtedly been presented to youth for many years past, but we should not lose sight of the fact that many new social and eco- nomic problems have grown out of the machine age. Democracy and all of its virtues are being attacked. The challenge to the educator is not so much what tools does he have, but how is he using them? Are we mastering the forms that have been given us so that we are at ease with them or are we being mastered? Art today in America is becoming of age and can be identified as truly American. The teacher is learning that by creating, and by possessing a creative mind, he can establish, and aid in establishing, a design in social structure to in- sure a fitting organization of people. This organization will be in terms of work and leisure. A true knowledge of art with all its diversified channels of expression will make possible the establishment of a sense of values. We Americans have the reputation of going farther and more rapidly than any other people. To what end? GORDON L. REYNOLDS ALMA MATER 1. Within thy life we grew; The task you set we knew: To bum thy beacon bright, Where fail the rays of light. Chorus O Alma Mater, thy children strive To keep thy faith alive O Alma Mater, we sing for thee This song of loyalty. O Alma Mater, thy voice alone Will guide in paths unknown. 2. Within thy life we sang Of love and peace that rang Throughout thy sounding halls Now memories in thy walls. 3. Beyond thy life we raise Thy worthy name in praise Where e ' er we chance to be We ' ll honor B. T. C. Walter Nardelli, ' 33 • : v- ■;■.

As this college has expanded and become richer through the guidance and ex- perience of capable leaders, so each one of us has grown from his four year contract with it. If this book will serve as a reminder of the leaders, friendships, and experiences both cultural and social, which you have enjoyed here, the Alpha Board will have accomplished its aim. APPRECIATION Here may we express our appreciation to those people who have contributed in any way to the production of our yearbook: to Miss Davis, who has given us so much practical advice and has now turned over her duties to, Miss Vining and Dr. Maxwell, our new advisors, who have given so generously of their time and guidance at our meetings,- Miss Nye, for making ours a more modern book, and to Miss Pope, for her valuable financial assistance.

MABELLE WARNER Grade Five FIRST GRADE In the First grade, They are learning about trees. They have drawn Scrubby, witch-broom trees, long, pale trees without branches, and scribbly, spinach-like trees without form. The teacher points out the window, And the children see that trees are sky skitterers, cloud-tall. They see glistening progression from trunk to twig As if someone had designed it cunningly. They see autumn leaves scrambling and fumbling. MARY ALLEN Taunton Science Club 3, 4,- Topics of the Day Club 2, 3; Hobby Club 2, 3; Women ' s Athletic Association. Mary participates enthusiastically in activities and field trips sponsored by Science Club and catches up on current events in Topics of the Day Club. A passion for all things mathematical and scientific is balanced by a love for sports. Afternoons find her out on the hockey field with her pals, knocking the hockey ball around and doing very well, too. Mary is deliberate in manner, persevering in carrying out her undertakings, and serious in her plans for a teaching career. MARY ANDREWS Brockton Newman Club 1 , 2, 3, 4; Women ' s Athletic Association. Sparkling black eyes always on the alert to catch the latest dance step or the latest bit of news, is Mary, a devotee of Dudley ' s. College and studying are really very serious to Mary although very few know it. Mary makes and keeps friends through her steadfast loyalty, her frankness, and her sincerity. Her willingness to enter into all kinds of fun can be measured in noting the fact she has turned down only one challenge. How about it, Mary — anytime you ' re ready! JEANNE BATHO Hyde Park French Club 1, 3, 4; Women ' s Athletic Association. Jeanne ' s interest lies mainly in la belle langue, and she does speak it beautifully. Majoring in French, she aims to keep the scholarship and enthusiasm high in Room 34. Mardi Gras committees find her an active member supplying many original suggestions. Jeanne delights in confusing us by contributing ideas at a much greater rate of speed than our rate of comprehension. RUTH BISSETT Quincy Glee Club 1; Topics of the Day Club 4; Hobby Club 1; Women ' s Athletic Association. Remember that diminutive couple which was ever-present in the gym noons? Ruth was the blonde. Dancing is just one of the things that she does and does well — she sings, swings a mean tennis racquet and still finds time to keep her average well above the average. Extra curricular has found her to be an enthus- iastic participant, keeping well abreast of the times in Topics of the Day and discovering how she may make worthy use of leisure time in Hobby Club. With interests as diversified as these, Ruth will always be able to adapt herself to any new situation. Page 24 MARJORIE BOUNDY Belmont Dormitory Council 3, 4,- Vice-President of Dormitory Council 4; Newman Club 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 4. When you go to bed and find a pie bed or wake up to an alarm at 2.00 a.m. disregard the innocent stare in her eyes — it was Marge all right. With an even temper and an ever-present smile, Marge is always ready for fun. What with her practical jokes, her frequent trips to Brockton and her dashing to classes, life for her is as varied as it is disconcerting. PRISCILLA BOWLEY Randolph Kindergarten-Primary Club 1,2; Camera Club 4; Women ' s Athletic Association. A love of reading and a retentive mind have formed Priscilla ' s background of valuable information. She takes advantage of the college activities which meet her interests, and makes the most of them. Her quiet unassuming manner and voice seem to reflect her inner personality. She saves her grand sense of humor for her intimates among whom is the inseparable Mercia. FLORENCE BRADSHAW Somerset Basketball 1, 2, 3; Kindergarten-Primary Club 1. Among the best-dressed seniors, Florence rates high, and can proudly say that she makes most of the good-looking outfits which she wears. Very artistically inclined, she can often be found in the art room putting the finishing touches on some handwork. Her interests do not all pertain to art, however, for during the four years, Florence has been an active figure on the basketball and tennis courts. Doing so well in so many fields, we feel that she must have profited from that freshman course on how to budget one ' s time well. ANNETTE BREEN Belmont Editor of Alpha 4; Assistant Editor 3; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Choir 1, 2, 3, A, Dormitory Council 3; Newman Club 1, 2, 3, 4. Who can spend more time listening to Artie Shaw ' s recordings tha n Pat? Our editor is a versatile person, who startles her tables by long discussions on the Embargo Act while flipping spoons into glasses. The debonair Patricia presents an amasing combination of frankness and tact. Pet aversion? Hypocrites! She dislikes all compliments even when they are sincere, strangely enough: add to this a large cup of high ideals, mature judgement, and understanding, and that ' s Pat — a truly genuine person! Page 25 JANICE BRENNAN Springfield President of Dormitory Council 4; Dormitory Council 3, 4; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Library Club 3, 4; Campus Comment 4; Dramatic Club 3. Everything is relative is the philosophy of our Dorm Council president. Remember that freshman who wore the flashy red pajamas? That sophomore who began to study her program at 10.15? The junior who spent an hour trying to light an oil stove without success? That dignified senior who wanted to look academic in her cap and gown? All these are Jan — a typical Irish colleen with a smile that won ' t come off — cute — carefree — coy. MYNETTE BRIODY Taunton Women ' s Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4. With the serenity befitting a senior, Mynette calmly takes life as it comes in the classroom. Outside, and with the proper environment, she is ready for fun and nonsense. Her personality is as unruffled as her neatly kept hair, and she talks very slowly and fixes her eyes on you very seriously as she talks or listens. She ' s always ready, willing and able — with the ink eradicator! FRANCIS CALLAN Brockton Dramatic Club 2, 3; President 4,- Newman Club 3, 4,- Men ' s Athletic Association. Francis has led the Dramatic Club through another successful year. Not only officially, but through his many character portrayals, he has done much to raise the level of amateur theatrical performances at B. T. C. His interests lie not only in the production of the drama but also in creating it, having just com- pleted a clever three act play. We shall always remember Miss Hill asking Francis to account for his tardiness in our senior Lit. class! It was then we dis- covered that Literature was not only his interest. IDA CARDOZA Taunton Hobby Club 2, 3; Topics of the Day Club 2, 3, 4,- Women ' s Athletic Association Representative 3. Scientific minded, Ida has spent most of her four years at B. T. C. in the biol- ogy lab or studying formulas for chemistry. She is one of the library ' s best book borrowers, reading everything from methods books to the Arts. She does this reading to give herself a better liberal arts education which she thinks she would not get otherwise. Easy going but sure of what she wants she has gone about getting it in an admirable way. Page 26 MERCIA CARTER New Bedford Women ' s Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4. Soft-spoken and unobtrusive, nothing ever seems to bother Mercia. Always ready for excitement and fun, she and her friends have been pillars at all of our school dances. Emphatic and decisive when she expresses an opinion she usually ends by laughing it off. As conductor of the New Bedford Express she has rattled, shivered, and shaken with it but has worn real well! BERNARD CASTLEMAN Quincy Men ' s Athletic Association. Coming to us from Colby, Bernie joined us to get his B.S. degree and to add much fun and wisdom to our classes. Cassy is a regular man about town. Vibrating with personality, he can tell a joke with a flavor all his own. Ready to oblige at all times, he often converted his sport sedan into a free taxicab especially for dorm students. RUTH CHADWICK East Bridgewater Day Student Council 4; First Vice-President 4,- Women ' s Athletic Association 1,2,3,4. Ruth ' s easy-going manner, both wins friends and gets things done. She has a keen interest in athletics, especially basketball and has supervised that sport in our Junior High School for two years. Active in day student affairs, dancing noons in the gym, and talking of California and Swifts Beach (which we know is grand for house parties) are just some of the activities which have occupied so much of Ruth ' s time for the last four years. Her capacity for friendship, her dignity and her ever-present smile help to make her one of the most popular seniors. VIRGINIA CHAMBERS Everett Orchestra 1, 2, 3; Glee Club 1, 2, 3; Women ' s Athletic Association. To those who know her well, Ginny ' s a tease, a captivator, and a teller of tall, lively tales. To those of us who do not know her so well she ' s correct, a little haughty, and unafraid to stand up for her rights. She is a musician of high standing, winning praise as accompanist of the orchestra. Ginny used to join lustily in singing the Song of the Marines, but now she has changed her tune, huh Ginny? Page 27 • ' . ALICE COLE Plympton Women ' s Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Accompanist for Men ' s Glee Club 3, 4. Alice ' s spontaneous giggle wipes away the worries that sometimes intrude themselves on her, but never last long. A keen interest in other people makes her sympathetic with their troubles. Her voice has been used to swell the ranks of the Glee Club while her musical interests are extended to include accompany- ing the Men ' s Glee Club for two years. GERALD CONNOR Watertown Alpha 3, 4; Assistant Photographer 3; Photographer 4; Men ' s Athletic Asso- ciation. Easy-going, but sure of what he wants, Jerry has gone about getting it in the shortest way possible. With little apparent effort, he has surmounted any obstacle presented by the science and geography departments and found time to manage the photography for Alpha. Possessing great ability as a speaker and conversationalist, Jerry was the orator representing the student body at our First Centennial program. With such qualities as these, Jerry is bound to reach the top in a few strides. CLAIRE CURRAN Norwood Library Club 2, 3; Technical Editor of Campus Comment 1, 2, 3, 4; Kindergarten- Primary Club 1, 2, 3 President 4. Claire takes her life, studies, and work very seriously. She enjoys r eading with true appreciation and can express her tastes with genuine critical insight. She goes about all her work with a quiet efficiency. Among her friends Claire often sheds her cloak of seriousness and displays a fun-loving spirit and even occasional bursts of wit. PHYLLIS DALY Randolph Kindergarten-Primary Club 1, 2; Women ' s Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4. College and studying to Phyl are very serious, but she ' d rather you didn ' t know it. Soft-spoken, yet deliberate, she is friendly and easy-going. She ' s easily flustered, quick to giggle, and takes a joke good-naturedly; then resumes her calm. To the perpetual surprise and amusement of herself and her gang, Phyl changes her mind as quickly as she makes a decision. Page 28 RUTH DAVIS Westport President of Woodward 4; Kindergarten-Primary Club 2, 3, 4. Coming to us from Hyannis in her sophomore year, Ruth found the Wood girls tops, until her senior year when she was elected to keep them from going astray. It was then she learned that one can ' t judge a book by it ' s cover! For diversion from this great problem, Ruth joined the ranks of the modern dance group and became an active participant of the Kindergarten-Primary Club. Did you find this age easier to handle, Ruth? MARY DeCOSTE Quincy Topics of the Day Club 2, 3, 4; Dramatic Club 4; Hobby Club 1 . Dark hair, always in a modern up-do and sparkling teeth, together with her bright clothes give Mary a colorful appearance. Argumentative and loqua- cious, she adds worthwhile spice and vigor to any class discussion. An operator ol the Quincy bus to Bridgewater, is just one of the extra-curricular activities in wh.ich Mary has been engaged; the one which perhaps has taken the most time is tile correspondence course which has been carried on between here and the University of Maine! Is that right, Mary? SAMUEL DEICH Dorchester Menorah Society; Treasurer 2, 3; President 4; Lecture Fund 3, 4; Camera Club 4; Men ' s Athletic Association. Remember the Alumni Building Fund? the thermometer on the Ad. build- ing? the chapel program which aroused so much enthusiasm? Sam, having proved himself indispensible as a committeeman, was an enthusiastic supporter of this enterprise and worked untiringly for its success. We are indebted to him for the many fine speakers we heard while he was head of Lecture Fund, and for the organization of the Menorah Society here, of which he was president this year. Sam ' s even temper has carried him through many difficult situations and promises to take him far. French Club 3, 4; Newman Club 3, 4. JOSEPH DEVITT Boston French Club should certainly be grateful to Joe for following the road to Bridgewater for few people have been so faithful to any organization as Joe has to this one. Quiet, unassuming, a very good student, Joe has contributed well to all class discussions and what he has to say is always well worth listening to. Page 29 BARBARA DOBBYN Quincy Treasurer of S. C. A. ; Assistant Treasurer of S. C. A..: Treasurer of Class 2; Women ' s Athletic Association Representative 1; Camera Club 4; Newman Club 2,4- Sweet personality — full of rascality. Keeper of high finance, Barbara handles money with a twinkle in her blue eyes which belies her efficiency. Recog- nized by her sincerity and naive manner, Barbara ' s infectious laughter lightens every classroom. She is hostess to the famed Rocky Point gang and the smaller half of that Barb-lrm combination which is found in all B. T. C. enterprises. HELEN DOBBYN New Bedford Women ' s Athletic Association. There are a few individuals who don ' t realize their own worth. Helen is like that. She is generous, sincere and always ready to help in any way possible. Maybe the fact that, while proctor on Tilly third, she tucked in a certain freshman every night, is a clue to her real personality. GENEVIEVE DOHERTY Cambridge German Club 3, 4; Second Vice-President 4; Choir 3, 4,- Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 4; Newman Club 3, 4. Good natured and carefree, Gen is perhaps one of the best known and best liked girls in the class. Full of nervous energy, she seems to do her best work under pressure. In responsible and love-free moments, Gen can be found on the stage of Horace Mann playing to perfection the leading roles in Miss Low ' s productions. After day-hopping for two years, Gen found the discipline and restrictions of dorm life rather confining but she soon entered into the spirit of the game and senior year found her leading the Wood girls part time. CATHERINE DRUMMEY East Braintree Women ' s Athletic Association,- Garden Club. One of the more diminutive members of the class, Kay is an excellent hockey player and all-round sport. She may be included among the ardent, supporters of noon-time dancing. Although she needs coaxing to really laugh she has a hearty giggle that brings tears to her eyes. Kay is really a farmer at heart and can give you the latest information on Rhode Island Reds, Plymouth Rocks and incubators, but never counts her chickens before they ' re hatched. Page 30 JOHN DZENOWAGIS Bridgewater Soccer 1, 2, 3, 4; Track 1 , 2, 3, 4; Manager of Basketball 4. Small bur mighty, as evidenced in the jobs he has tackled here, John ' s desire to resemble Atlas took him daily to the gym during the winter months. To really appreciate a fellow like John, you must have known him (or years,- seen him (all asleep with his nose in a book, being suddenly awakened at the five minute bell with that surprised expression on his (ace — or just eating a good meal! He is one of the (ew classmates who really enjoy living. ELSfE ESTEY Canton Class Representative 3; Women ' s Athletic Association. Serious and intelligent Elsie shines in the social sciences. Not satisfied with the minimum requirements of her courses, Elsie does much intensive reading and enriches class discussions with her comments. She has a very sincere interest in the welfare of mankind, past and present. Strong, well-built, Elsie represents the masculine type of sportswoman — the hard worker who is more interested in the world than in herself. ELIZABETH FAHEY Taunton Science Club 3, 4; Newman Club 2; Hobby Club 1, 2; Women ' s Athletic Asso- ciation. That Mary is one of Science Club ' s most ardent supporters, is truly evident. To the club ' s field trips around campus or at Wood ' s Hole, she contributes many an interesting and worthwhile bit of knowledge. Benefits reaped from scientific study are evidenced in an examination of her accurately organized and inspir- ingly neat class notes. RICHARD FARRELL Bridgewater Dramatic Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Vice-President 4; Newman Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Men ' s Athletic Association Treasurer 2. Dick has long been popular with his classmates for his capabilities which range from first class soda jerker to excellent performer in the productions of the Dramatic Club. The smile that won ' t come off and an infectious laugh are in- dispensible to the Dick we all know. Cheerleading at th e basketball games and the ardent support he has given to Newman Club depict his versatility which is bound to take him places. Page 31 JORDAN FIORE Fall River President of Men ' s Glee Club 4; Circulation Manager of Campus Comment; Chapel Committee; Topics of the Day Club. As president of Men ' s Glee Club, Jordan was able to exercise his dis- criminating tastes in music. Every other week he could be found in the rotunda passing out copies of Campus Comment. Interested in creative writing, he took great delight in portraying interesting moments in the lives of such great authors as Thomas Chatterton and E. A. Poe. As chairman pro-tern of chapel committee, Jordan prepared a particularly enjoyable and instructive group of programs. Exercising an efficient manner in every enterprise, Jordan is sure to have a suc- cessful future. OLIVE FISHER East Braintree Hobby Club; Women ' s Athletic Association. Olive is a girl of many phobias and worries for she shares the burdens of all her friends ' troubles. She is known for her good nature and kind-heartedness as well as her dependability, conscientiousness, and punctuality. Olive is an ex- cellent cook as all the Rocky Pointers will testify. Her greatest weakness is rolls and biscuits and to this the Rocky Pointers will also testify. ELIZABETH FOSTER East Sandwich Library Club 4; Women ' s Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4. An apparently studious girl who does her playing at home week-ends. Hostess to many week-end parties and midnight feasts. Bets has made herself very popular with the third floor gang. She has a pleasing personality, nice clothes and a keen sense of humor. One secret of her success is that she takes good notes, can read her own writing, and uses the notes. Dark hair, always well groomed, sparkling teeth and good-looking clothes make Bets an out- standing member of any group. BARBARA FREEMAN Bridgewater Topics of the Day Club 4; Women ' s Athletic Association. Sensitive, talkative, positive, Barbara enthusiastically enters into whatever the college has to offer, both curricular and extra-curricular. She was even able to combine her journalism course with practice teaching, a feat which no one else accomplished (successfully). If you ' d like to discover her unprofessional side, ask her what Robert Taylor means to her (and we do not refer to her in- veterate movie-going)! Page 32 MURIEL GAMBLE Brockton Hobby Club 1,2, 4; Topics of the Day Club 2, 3, 4,- Dramatic Club 4; Day Stu- dent Council 1 . Deliberate in speech and action, Muriel has obligingly kept the Topics of the Day Club well informed on political events. Her efforts devoted conscien- tiously towar d getting the most out of her college education have earned this robust young lady commendable results. Efficiency-plus best describes Muriel who is capable and orderly and greets all with a friendly smile. w ANNE GARVEY Brockton Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4,- Newman Club 4,- Science Club 4; Camera Club 4; Women ' s Athletic Association. Her frank, dark eyes and sudden grin show that Anne ' s nature is impulsive, generous and humorous. Having musical ability, she plays both the violin and viola, and she is invaluable to the orchestra. Her interests range from mathematics and athletics to the raising of fox terriers, and it is our guess that Anne ' s summers will be spent in caring for fox terriers. IDA GOERGE Wrentham Topics of the Day Club 1,2, 3, 4; Scholarship Committee 3, 4; Chairman 4 A great interest in sports, especially archery, does not interfere with Ida ' s class work which proves that she merits the position of Chairman of Scholarship Committee which she has so ably filled this year. She has added much merriment to Wood this year by moving in and soon making herself one of us. Weighing her words carefully, she speaks deliberately and with assurance and what she speaks is always well worth listening to. Is it any wonder that she is such a welcome visitor on first floor? IRENE GEORGE Holbrook Hobby Club 3, 4; Topics of the Day Club 4; Kindergarten-Primary Club 1 . Meticulous and conscientious, Irene is friendly but reserved. Her calm is seldom upset but she has the courage of her convictions which she has arrived at after thoughtful consideration. Irene is the girl whom you met when you wer 3 looking for Miss Beal; between keeping Miss Beat ' s books and tending to her own so successfully we feel sure that there is an enviable future in store for her. ge 33 ZENON GERRY Brockton Topics of the Day Club 2, 3, 4; Newman Club 4; Camera Club 4. Zenon is an agriculturist at heart, having raised many prize-winning crops! However, Zenon is not an uninformed farmer. His classmates soon realized his knowledge of current affairs and elected him to lead them in the Topics of the Day Club. Interested in unusual shots, Zenon was an active member of the Camera Club and made many contributions to the progress of this club. Outspoken and possessing decided opinions, Zenon can talk to anyone and everyone with the greatest of ease. ELIZABETH GIBSON Gloucester French Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Newman Club 1, 2, 3, 4. An inherited love for ships that sail the sea is the basis for Bett ' s most spirited conversation. She seems a retiring person, but she proves herself the possessor of varied interests as she capably reports the technique of French Gram- mar or serves a delicious dejeuner on short notice. A worthwhile example of study energy and enthusiasm is this girl from the North Shore. ELEANOR GRUNDBERG Stoneham Dormitory Council 4; French Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Campus Comment 4; Camera Club 4 Grundy is an avowed progressive, interesting and interested in living She is a sound critic and possesses a keen sense of values. Her interests are many and varied including journalism, books, and tennis; she is not destined to be an accomplished figure-skater, however! Quietly and easily she has surmounted all obstacles with which she has met, thus predicting a successful future for herself. DOROTHY HANNON Brockton Women ' s Athletic Association; Newman Club 1, 2, 3, 4. Dot seems to have been born with a horseshoe around her neck. She is full of nervous energy and does her best work under pressure. Good-natured and carefree and an ever present figure at noon-time dancing, she is perhaps one of the best known and best liked girls in the class. Dot has no worries that anyone has been able to discover. Her one aim in life is to enjoy it to the fullest, and she always succeeds. Page 34 M. PATRICIA HARRINGTON Weymouth Assistant Treasurer of Day Student Council 4; Newman Club 1, 2, 3, 4,- Hobby Club 2, 3. Pat is everybody ' s friend and a friend to everybody! With all the worries that are hers we wonder how she keeps that very youthful look. If your alarm goes off at five in the morning, or you skid down the hall into a puddle of water, dis- regard the innocent stare on Pat ' s face — it was she! And who would want to study when she could do things as exciting as that instead? Pert and peppy, she sports the snappiest of college clothes and an individual haircut for that cop- per head of hair. Her personality can be summed up in the words pleasing, agreeable and amiable. GEORGE HARRIS Palmer Men ' s Athletic Association,- President of Men ' s Club 4. Efficient manager of the school store for three years, George can recall almost every book which he has in stock. His dramatic ability has been proven in many of Miss Low ' s productions and as president of Men ' s Club, George showed us what good leadership was. With a good natured, yet serious, per- sonality George has made many friends and given many valuable contributions to our college and we wish him the success in future years that he helped bring Bridgewater while he has been with us. EUNICE HARRISON Westport President of Tillinghast 4; Vice-President 3; Dormitory Council 1 , 2, 3, 4; S. C. A. 3; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Camera Club 4. As head of Tillinghast, Eunice has had a chance to show her qualities of leadership. A girl who practices what she preaches, she set a good example of seniority to the freshmen. It was under her guidance that Till won the Campus Sing Banner for the first time in many years. Eunice never hurries, being one of those serene persons Doctor Arnold speaks of. Slow but steady wins the race must be her motto. After being one of Mr. Durgin ' s favorite mathematicians Eunice is well prepared to instruct Westport students in the task of finding the square root of a number. ROSALIE HATCHFIELD Whitman Topics of the Day Club,- Hobby Club. Her naive serious expression camouflages the merry, fun-loving nature beneath. She worries about minute incidents and lightly dismisses catastrophes. Her gullibility is responsible for her being subject to much plaguing. The two topics most annoying to Rosalie are her appetite and her heavy auburn hair, and because of these we have much opportunity to see her good-naturedness which probably explains her wide circle of friends. Page 35 AGNES HIGGINS Whitman Hobby Club 2, 3, 4; Treasurer 3; President 4; Chairman of Handbook Com- mittee 3, 4. Agnes ' conscientious willingness not only make her a good student but give her much worth as a committee member, club officer, etc. All Agnes ' willingness isn ' t directed toward work; she is just as successful in having a good time. A sense of humor that expresses iteself in dry witty remarks keeps her friends smiling with appreciation. BARBARA HOWES Stoughton Hockey 1, 2; Soccer 1, 2; Hobby Club 4. A love of reading and a retentive mind have formed Barbara ' s background of valuable information. She takes advantage of all that college offers to satisfy her interests. We hear that she has a grand sense of humor but she saves it for her intimates! Quiet, reserved, and assured in classes, Barb is a flash on the hockey field whether playing or organizing. ELWOOD JENNESS Natick Men ' s Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4 Men ' s Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4. Woody is the boy who has thrilled the Wood girls at Christmas time with his rendition of the Boar ' s Head. He ' s the sparkplug of a stag party, of politi- cal maneuvers in campus organizations and of the latest prank or gag. He completes the quartet of Nickerson, Randall and Harris, who have been the leaders in our class through all four years, and look as if they are not going to stop now. HELEN JUDGE Brockton Secretary of S. C. A.; Women ' s Athletic Association; Board Day Student Council 3; Topics of the Day Club; Dramatic Club. That lovely dark-haired miss whose beauty and charm won for her the coveted title, Queen of the Mardi Gras. Probably one of Helen ' s outstanding accom- plishments (?) while at Bridgewater is her success in being able to interpret Thanks for the Memory. Wonder if she ever wrote a song Pocketbook, Pocketbook, Where Are You? Smooth clothes and a dynamic personality make our S. C. A. Secretary a predominant figure on the campus. Page 36 ANNE KELLEY Quincy Women ' s Athletic Association. If you see a pair of laughing Irish eyes topped by a most original hair-do, it ' s probably Anne hurrying to her next class which started ages ago. Active in school affairs, optimistic in outlook, she is a blessing to have about. Surpris- ingly emphatic, her tolerance might label her a paradox — but the most pleasing one ever. There is nothing like Anne ' s giggle to stir one from depths of despair. A welcome addition in the Dorm for eight weeks, Anne made a host of laughing, appreciative friends. ESTHER KELLEY Bridgewater Women ' s Glee Club 1 , 2, 3, 4; President 4; Chapel President 2, 3, 4. Unaffected and gently good-natured, with a quiet way of getting big things accomplished is our president of Glee Club. Esther ' s genuine appreciation of the finer things in life is proven just in the way she knows music and touches those keys! We ' ll al ' remember her accompanying us at our Pop ' s concert in ' 39; it was colossal! Here ' s predicting a successful musical career for you, Esther. MARTIN KILLORY Brockton Class President 2, 3, 4; Newman Club 2, 3, 4; Baseball; Track. Such phrases as I suppose you are more interested in hearing what ' I ' got out of the trip instead of what the trip got out of me, make Martin a welcome member of any group! Our class president for three years, he has shown us the quickest way to get the most done and his subtle humor has enlivened the most boring discussions in every class. Unpredictable is the word that can best describe his personality, and that is what makes him such an interesting person. Along with other abilities, he is a keen mathematician and has helped Mr. Durgin solve his problems more than once! JANICE KIMBALL East Walpole Division Representative 2; Second Vice-President of Women ' s Athletic Associa- tion 4; Dormitory Council 4; Kindergarten-Primary Club 1, 2; Library Club 3, 4. Kim ' s ready smile and friendly thoughtfulness have made her a leader in class, dormitory, and W. A. A. activities. Her blond halo and vivacious manner make her a bright spot in any group. Her slender grace has made her an excel- lent leader of modern dancing. Despite much excited and self-deprecatory raving Kim always does well whatever task is set before her. Page 37 GERTRUDE KING Haydenville Women ' s Athletic Association. We commend Gertrude for her great courage and for her strong determina- tion in overcoming obstacles. A faithful student of creative writing, Gertrude was invited this year to join a nation-wide poetry contest, the winners to have their works included in a book of representative poems. She can always be counted on to contribute an original criticism, and Miss Dow acknowledged her originality even in a History of Art quiz. In the dormitory, ready for any witti- cism, is sheer flattery. STEPHANI KONRAD East Weymouth Sketch Group 3,- Women ' s Athletic Association 1, 3, 4. Stephani is one of our more serious-minded and conscientious classmates. A commuters ' chauffeur, her car is always jammed to the roof with Weymouthites. She has been with us only three years, her sophomore year being spent at San Diego Teachers College in California. Her quiet and reserved manner has kept some of us from really knowing her but her wide circle of acquaintances indicate an attractive personality. RUTH KRAVIF Fall River Garden Club 2, 3, 4; Vice-President 3, 4; Library Club 3, 4,- Camera Club 4; Menorah 2, 3, 4. Eternal cheer is Ruthie ' s middle name. An artist in conversation, she loves the best in music and has a definite philosophy of living. Her ever increasing library makes her a Hitting chairman for that Cultivated Culture Group of Room 58. She delights in Geography as a major and Golf as a minor. One of the triumvirate aiming for those Rocky Mountain positions, she ' s determined to get her traveling in somehow. But to prove her love of life, here is an invitation to listen in on her giggle in the midst of being efficient as Garden Club ' s first vice-President. ARNOLD LAMKIN Dorchester Science Club 3, 4; Camera Club 2, 3, 4,- Sketch Group 3, 4. Genial in spirit and unassuming in air, Arnold ranks with the popular. Vivid will be his memories of his senior year when he joined the ranks of the Appendicitis Kids. Scientific-minded, Arnold has been an active participant in Science Club and Camera Club and has taken many surprise shots this year which are priceless to the subjects. Page 38 ROSE LANS Walpole Library 2, 3, 4; Presisent 4,- Sketch Group 3, 4; Chapel Committee 4; Senior Creative Group; Garden Club 1, 2. A laughing cherubim, who surprises you on occasion by turning into a serious student of literature and art. Always ready (or a good time, particularly in the summer, with a definite liking for bellhoppers who know the law — that ' s Rose. She can be seen any Friday afternoon helping to decorate the gym, as an indispensible half of the Rusty-Rose combination. Rose, and the fact that they pay their war debts, are the reasons that we like the Finnish! BERTHA LARSON Attleboro Dormitory Council 4; Pro-tem President 4; Treasurer of Woodward 4,- Science Club 2, 3, 4; German Club 4; Camera Club 4; Garden Club 1, 2. Whether she is figuring out the dorm accounts or the hereditary characteris- tics of a white rat, Bert gets the right answer. Her vast store of energy is ex- pended in tennis, bicycling, and studying. Still a child at heart, her love of life is genu ine. WINIFRED LAUGHLIN Taunton Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Dormitory Council 4; French Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Newman Club 1, 2, 3, 4,- Women ' s Athletic Association Board. To fully appreciate a girl like Freddie you should know her for years. Seeing her impersonate Mr. Dick and Katherine Hepburn, you realize only one of her potentialities. The life of Week-end parties, and the perfect hostess at midnight feasts, she can soon make the gang roar with such stories as the angel and the ouja boardl 9 EDITH LAWLER Nantasket Library Club 2, 3, 4,- Newman Club 1,2, 3, 4; Women ' s Athletic Association 1,2,3,4. Quiet, unaggressive, but forceful once she ' s drawn out Edith is usually hunting news and passing in journalism assignments to Miss Lovett ' s fabulous, but mammoth paper eater. Easily flustered, and quick to giggle, she takes a joke good-naturedly and then resumes her calm. Literature is her major and she participates actively in anything pertaining to it, having been a member of the Library Club for three years. Page 39 ELIZABETH LESENECHAL North Weymouth Hobby Club 4; Women ' s Athletic Association. A sincere and pleasing manner, friendly and sympathetic smile give us a composite picture of one of our more demure seniors. Library work has always appealed to Betty and working here in our library has made her one of Miss Vining ' s able assistants. Commuting daily, acting as first assistant to her brother in fixing flats and pushing the car gives her a keen sense of humor and ready wit. JOSEPH LESENECHAL North Weymouth Class President 1; Student Council 1; Glee Club 1, 2; Hobby Club 1. One of the more conscientious members of the senior class — a Johnny on the spot — assignments done in advance, an art of loquacity in classes lending towards the argumentative side. Chauffeuring a carload of Wey- mouthities to B.T.C. for four years has been an important phase in his college career. Curly hair and a flashing smile, two dominant characteristics of Joe made him the noble ruler of our freshman class. DAVID LEVENSON Brockton Campus Comment; Editor 4; Assistant Editor 3,- Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4; German Club 1, 2, 3; President 3; Hobby Club 1. Editing Campus Comment and working in the print shop mark Dave as one of the busiest seniors at Bridgewater. He finds time for Dramatic Club and German Club, however, and often takes the lead in dramatic productions. Some of his essays written for creative writing class show that he possesses a brilliant literary style. With his flashing sense of humor he is ready to pounce upon an opportunity to make a pun, thus having enlivened his every class. ARNOLD LEVINE Quincy Topics of the Day Club 1 , 2, 3, 4 ; Menorah 3, 4,- Men ' s Club 1, 2, 3, 4; M.A. A. Play 4. Gullability personified is Arnold, one of the most serious-minded students in our class. Efforts devoted conscientiously toward getting the most out of his college education have earned him commendable results. He is slow to form his opinions and to get him to change them is just as slow a process! Page 40 JEAN LINDSAY South Weymouth Day Student Council President 4; Secretary 3; Dramatic Club 4; Class Repre- sentative 1; Newman Club 4. Our gracious fun-loving first lady of the Day Students whose magnetic personality has won for her the admiration of all. Almost as popular as Jean herself on campus is her faithful flivver which has proved an aid to many a commuter. A friendly enthusiastic nature makes this Miss one of our most ardent gym enthusiasts whether it be noon-time dancing or cheering B. T. C. on to victory. MARY LOCKARY Ontario Women ' s Athletic Association,- Newman Club. When you ' re looking for fun find Mary, that witty, care-free girl whose root canal is her pride possession, her public a great joy, and prolonged vacations in Canada, a habit. Her ' 29 flivver occasionally dispensed with a wheel or two in city traffic but this failed to bother Mary for doesn ' t she boast of having the second highest P. F. I. in the class? Beneath the surface, we find a true, loyal friend, a dependable willing worker and a serious student. MURIEL LOGAN Wollaston Art Editor of Alpha 3, 4,- Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Art Editor of Campus Comment 4; Choir 1, 2, 3, 4,- Sketch Group 3, 4; Newman Club 4. Sanderson, Dobson, Logan — remember that stunning trio? However that ' s not all we can say for Rusty. Efficiency and talent with a fiery temperment (to match her lovely hair) make Rusty a necessity around Campus. She is out- standing in literature, history, and, particularly, in art. Modern art is her passion, and we are sure she will go far and accomplish great things in this field. We, who have seen her decorating the gym, realize her boundless energy and indefatigue-ability. BARBARA LUTTED Stoughton Science Club 2, 3, 4; Vice-President 3; President 4,- Hobby Club 3, 4,- Vice- President 4. A chosen few penetrqte the veneer of reserve to a Barb whose fine sense of loyalty is accompanied by her ability to have fun. In classes we depend on her to solve the problem which has us all puzzled. With business like efficiency she hurried from one class to the next where she takes rapid, copious notes. Outspoken and possessing decided opinions, Barb can talk to anyone with the greatest of ease. Page 41 MARGARET MADOR Cambridge Women ' s Athletic Association Governing Board; Camera Club 4; Day Student Council 3. Margaret came to us as a demure Freshman with braids coroneting her head — now a peppy senior showing her abilities in many fields — namely dancing, archery, bowling and last but not least the ologys. A sudden interest in Camera Club has given us to believe that Photography must be a fascinating subject. The mere mention of this fact brings a rosy bloom to Mar- garet ' s cheeks — something we all enjoy. LORETTA MANTER Taunton Hobby Club 1, 2, 3; Vice-President 4; Topics of the Day Club 3, 4,- An active member on the basketball court and in classes is Loretta. But her enthusiasm does not stop here. As Vice-President of Hobby Club, she has assisted in the promotion of its efficient annual program. Discussions of vital world problems in the libarry or hilarious social hours in the Commuter ' s room find her always in the midst of the fray. A happy medium of laughter and labor characterizes Loretta. NANCE MARQUETTE Bradford Treasurer of Dormitory Council; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Kindergarten-primary Club; Elections Committee; Campus Comment. White-collared version of what the best-dressed senior will wear. That lyrical lilt to your newest song favorite is Nance ' s version. With not a worry in the world as her motto, Nance is a member of our cheering section. She guards Dorm Council ' s pocketbook with the same efficiency which characterizes her study skills. She has a new enthusiasm every week — this time it ' s horse- back riding. ALBA MARTINELLI Plymouth French Club 2; Hobby Club 3; Associate-Editor of Campus Comment Vice- President of Class 2. Making a success of anything she attempts and always attempting new things, Alba brings her knowledge and endless vitality to all her classes. Short, dark, with boundless energy, a flair for publicity, a talent in creative writing, a genius at organization. Women ' s Athletic Association, Campus Comment, and Topics of the Day Club find her a willing leader. As a narrator, jhe tells fine tales of her summer on the Cape and entertains fellow commuters recounting her wild and wooly dreams. Page 42 IRENE MATTIE East Braintree Topics of the Day Club 1,2, 3, 4; Day Student Council 1 Women ' s Athletic Association 1, 2. Irene is that subtle humorist from East Braintree. Her sly look when telling a joke or giggling over some bit of wit is a warning to her companions. Pleasant, smiling, and well groomed, Irene goes about her duties capably and confidently. Too add a final merry touch, she is a true jitterbug, and to watch her reactions to a swing record is one of the delights of her gang. THELMA MATTSON Braintree Topics of the Day Club 4; Women ' s Athletic Association. Thelma is one of the math wizards of the college and almost any morning she can be seen rushing up from the train with Norma, comparing math problems with her. Although she is quiet and reserved with strangers, she is as entertaining as any member of her own group and can dance very gracefully to the folk dances of her ancestors. HARRIETT MAYO Orleans Women ' s Athletic Association Governing Board 2, 3,- Libary Club 4. Hat is fast on a basketball court and tennis court yet she combines it with math and geography, all in a grand jumble and does a real good job of it. She is Bridgewater ' s one and only rooter for Hyannis but as long as there ' s a good reason, we ' ve put up with it! She knits like Madame DeFarge and can finish a sweater in no time, and this is typical of the way she completes all the jobs which are set before her. MARY MC CANN Chelsea Women ' s Athletic Association. Mary ' s friendliness, graciousness, and love of fair play make her the per- sonification of W. A. A. ' s ideals — the organization of which she is president. Her delightful, musical giggling fills all her stories from camp — where she is known as Miss Mary — to mountain climbing. She has a wide circle of friends from the conductor on the Boston train to the shyest freshman in the commuters ' room. Her loyalty and dependability have helped her to scale the ladder of popularity. Page 43 MARGARET McCARTHY Brockton Women ' s Athletic Association 2, 3, 4; Kindergarten-Primaiy Club 1, 2; New- man Club 4. Although Margaret is never smileless, she lives as if she hasd a purpose in life. A hard worker and a good student, she is meticulous in thought and action. Interested in the athletic program, she is almost a perfect shot at the bull ' s eye. Pleasant and cooperative, she can always be depended upon to do her bit and more and with an attitude like that it is no wonder she has been so successful at Bridgewater. CATHERINE McDONALD Quincy Hobby Club 1; Women ' s Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4. Taking life as it comes, Kay seldom lets her calm be disturbed, and is a perfect balance for Ruth, her inseparable companion. With the same unruffled calm she completes assignments by the deadline! Although a four-year ad- herent to the same gang, she has a friendly word or smile for everyone. cecilia Mcdonald Weymouth Hobby Club 2,- Women ' s Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4. Her sense ot humor and her laughing eyes are a pleasant contrast to Cecilia ' s otherwise serious countenance. Libarary classes often produce a giggle or two from her,- we wonder why! Cecilia spends her leisure time, both in Weymouth and Bridgewater, riding bicycles and playing baseball. This and her shyness which is accompanied by a blush at times, make Cecilia a very in- teresting member of our class. ANNA McGRORY Randolph Governing Board of Women ' s Athletic Association 3, 4; Day Student Council 4,- Civic Committee 4; Newman Club 1, 2, 4; Hobby Club 2, 3. To a casual observer, Anna is a sweet, reserved brunette; to her intimates, she is the personification of her own high ideals. She enjoys the out-of-doors and may be found in rapt admiration of some beauty of nature or on the hockey field encouraging her teammates on to victory. Ann ' s love of feline pets is not dampened by the teasing of her friends when she opens the subject. Twinkling blue eyes are the proof of her Gaelic love of fun. Page 44 MARGARET McHUGH East Walpole Governing Board of Women ' s Athletic Association 4; Vice-President 4; Campus Comment; Dormitory Council 4; Newman Club 1, 2, 3, 4. One of the busiest individuals on the campus, Margaret may be seen dashing across campus anytime from 7 a. m. on to keep an appointment in the dining hall or gym. Originating the alumni sports day is just one of the contributions Margaret made to Women ' s Athletic Association while she was vice-president. That red-headed gusto has sustained her through four years of such wearing experiences as study-hour wrestling matches, serious intellectual discussions, walking barefoot on Carver ' s frozen surface, and leading the polka at socials. Being different is the keynote of her personality, non-conformity is her hobby — even to the point of becoming a dependable senior! ELIZABETH McKEAN Braintree Women ' s Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4. Easy-going and unruffled, Carrie calmly makes order out of chaos. A sparkling and persistent conversationalist, she has no trouble finding an au- dience. She is always ready to lend a sympathetic ear and to laugh off her classmates ' troubles with them. Although friendly toward all, Carrie favors her intimates with a steadfast loyalty. ELIZABETH McLAUGHLIN Bridgewater Vice-President of Senior Class,- Topics of the Day Club 3; President 4,- Student Fellowship 2, 3,- Secretary 4. Unruffled, even when laden with inumerable activities, Betty is the envy of the unadjusted members of our class. Presiding at meetings of Topics of the Day Club or putting over the best Senior Social ever, she proves that effec- tive organization is the synonym for efficiency. A sparkling sense of humor, participation in sports and knowledge of the hows and whys of town manage- ment, make her the Betty we all admire and appreciate as a companion. IHffyiWflMllifflPlffl MARGARET MEADE Brockton Literaiy Editor of Alpha 4,- Assistant Editor 3; Dramatic Club; Sketch Croup; Orchestra. Versatility is the keynote of Margaret ' s personality. She is musical, has a fine artistic technique, and is a capable actress. Her literary ability has done much in producing Alpha, for which she was Literary Editor. Margaret ' s re- tiring ways have kept many of her classmates from really knowing her, but those of us who do know her intimately know of her constant willingness to work and of the high standards which all of her work must reach. Page 45 JOSEPHINE MERANDA Assonet Kindergarten-Primary Club; Women ' s Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4, Every bit of Jo ' s 4 feet and 10 inches consists of liveliness, pep, and per- sonality. She has sparkling, expressive eyes and a spontaneous smile based on sincerity. Her love for children and her story-telling ability point toward success in her profession. Humor is seldom lacking in a class or conversation in which Jo participates. ELIZABETH MERRY Bridgewater Secretary of Science Club 3; Science Club 2, 3, 4 Hobby Club 4; Garden Clubl. An authority on birds, Elizabeth enjoys a bird walk almost every Spring morning. She is a worthy member of Science Club, having been an enthusiastic student of Miss Graves and Mr. McGurren for four years. Science is not her only interest as she has shown us by her active participation in scout leadership which has shown her profound love for children. GLADYS MOORE Bridgewater Women ' s Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4,- Women ' s Glee Club 2, 3, 4. Unfortunate are those who know Gladys only in class because her academic efforts hide from most of us her rollicking humor and appreciation of a good time. She is a musical stand-out just like her inseparable friend Esther; a wonderful alto — a better pianist and organist. She is deliberate in manner, persevering in carrying out her undertakings, and serious in her plans for a teaching career. ELEANOR MULLIN Canton Newman Club 4; Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4; Women ' s Athletic Association 1, 2, 3,4. Eleanor is one of our most charming seniors who is well known for her keen sense of humor. Her dramatic ability has been shown on the stage and more often in informal gatherings with impersonations of Mortimer Snerd or Fannie Frump. If Eleanor is present, any class can depend on a lively discussion for she is numbered among our intelligents as well as our witty. Page 46 ELEANOR MURPHY Arlington Vice-President of Newman Club; Secretary of Dramatic Club; Camera Club; Scholarship Committee. Eleanor ' s lovely speaking voice, her impulsive laughter, and her winsome nature make her one of the best liked girls on the campus. One of the leaders of Newman Club, she has played an important part in the organization. Among her many interests are mathematics, singing in Glee Club, dramatics, and Camera Club. She is a lower campus enthusiast and takes great delight in athletics. Spud ' s varying moods and her troubles with the opposite sex make her among the most interesting of dorm students. ARNOLD NERENBERG Brockton With the exception of intra-mural sports, extra-curricular activities have seen lit tle of Arnold for with him marriage is a career. The first father of the Class of 1940, he has proved himself capable of carrying responsibility and his executive ability was shown when Arnold conducted the class for Miss Smith. Quiet and unassuming he could always be counted on to make worthwhile contributions in any class. VERNON NICKERSON Orleans Treasurer of Alpha; Science Club 2, 3, 4; Treasurer 3; Treasurer of Men ' s Club 4; Class Representative 2, 4; Secretary of Class 2. Nick is an ardent booster of Cape Cod and also an enthusiastic sailor and hunter. In a discussion on track, athletics, golf or the various aspects of out- board boating, Nick ' s surface reserve is easily broken. He has an amount of quiet ability which will help him to attain new heights. As treasurer of Alpha and Men ' s Club, he has demonstrated a high degree of efficiency. P ATRICK O ' BRIEN Weymouth Topics of the Day Club 2, 3, 4; Vice-President; Newman Club 3, 4; Dean ' s Council 3, 4; Men ' s Athletic Association. A consuming interest in current events and current history qualify Pat for his position as Vice-President of Topics of the Day Club. One of the best history students, Pat was chosen as a Columbus Day speaker. He is very in- terested in baseball, being a strong National League supporter. Ability in public speaking and argumentation have given him an excellent stage presence. Page 47 HELEN O ' NEIL Attleboro Dorm-Council; Secretary 4,- Camera Club 3; 4, Newman Club 1, 2, 3, 4. Helen takes work in small doses and only when necessary but accomplishes a surprising amount. One of our more diminutive seniors, Helen has been trying to reach that 5 feet mark for four years but all in vain! Her spontaneous giggle wipes away the worries that sometimes intrude themselves on her, but never last long. She has had earnest intentions of doing loads since she has been here but the day just hasn ' t been long enough for her to get started! Having the knack of making any story funny, her enthusiasm in contagious and she will always be welcome in any group. MARY O ' ROURKE Quincy Class Treasurer 1; Topics of the Day Club 3, 4; Day Student Council 1. Vivacious, bubbly, never lacking in words, Mary holds first place for see- ing and knowing all. Never at a loss for a fluent answer, she can do anything almost as well as she talks and that is a high compliment, for Mary ' s verbal people,- she is however usually nonchalant. CONSTANCE OSBERG Fairhaven Women ' s Athletic Association. Anyone who has ever argued with Connie will sooner or later find himself up against a stone wall. She is a good sport; and a willing accomplice in wild schemes — sneezing powder — remember! She makes those lovely clothes that she wears so well. Provocative, unmovable, Connie loves practical jokes, the latest novels, knitting, and swing! ANNA PARENT Stoughton Basketball 1 , 2; Hockey 1 , 2, 3; Soccer 1 , 2; Baseball 1 , 2; Hobby Club 2, 3, 4. When not busy smoothing out all the troubles of her friends, Betty takes a few minutes out for a game of basketball or a kick on the soccer field. Jovial and obliging, she is always around when pleasure plans are in the air. She takes workinsmall dosesand only when necessary but accomplishes a surprising amount. Page 48 LAURA PEARSON Middleboro Campus Comment 1, 2, 3, 4; News Editor 4; Topics of the Day Club 4; Hobby Clubl. A perfect diminutive, she wears her clothes with the natural slim poise that everyone else diets and exercises to attain. Her spontaneous smile makes her instantly attractive and her genuine sincerity turns the attraction into friendship. Maybe that ' s why young men (and a few younger) have memorized her tele- phone number. Her scientific bent is becomingly concealed behind a blue- eyed twinkle. VIRGINIA PEKARSKI Brockton Class Representative 2; Glee Club 3, 4; Newman Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Choir 3, 4; Women ' s Athletic Association. She ' s got rhythm, this girl. One of B. T. C. ' s best dancers, Jini may often be seen teaching others the newest steps. Her musical talent manifests itself in Glee Club, Choir, and piano playing. Her beautiful hair, ability to wear smart clothes, conscientiousness, and eagerness to help make the Jini we all like. TYNNE PETERSON West Quincy Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Secretary 3; Student Director 4; Topics of the Day Club 2, 3, 4; Treasurer 3. Whether it be getting costumes for the pageant or, directing an orchestra rehearsal, Tynne can do it quickly and efficiently. A tall, striking, blonde with a priceless amount of willingness and foresight, she is always ready to donate her time and skill when decorations or favors have to be made in the art room. No one can doubt that Tynne has made the most of every opportunity here at Bridgewater, and with the amount of ingenuity that she possesfes, her life should be a complete success. FRANCES PINAND Monson Library Club 3,4; Hobby Club 1; Garden Club 2; Women ' s Athletic Associa- tion. Calm, placid, Fran — never ruffled by anything, is unexpectedly clever in many ways. She is known in the dorm for her dry, witty remarks and clever hair-dos. Fran is one of those people who is never at a loss for something to do — she has so many reserve interests — such as painting Christmas cards at three o ' clock in the morning — just because she couldn ' t sleep! Page 49 ELEANOR PITTS Quincy Topics of the Day Club 3, 4; Newman Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Women ' s Athletic As- sociation 1, 2, 3, 4. Eleanor is another one of that Quincy group that comes with Mary every day. The raised eyebrows and knowing laugh that accompany her speech con- tradict the little-girl impression that her fair coloring and spontaneous gestures give. Never at a loss for a snappy comeback, she turns occasionally to more serious interests, such as an active participation in the elementary course and the Topics of the Day Club. BARBARA PRINCE North Eastham Student Council 1; Library Club 2, 3, 4; Treasurer 3; Women ' s Athletic As- sociation. Shall we ever forget freshman geography with Barbara vehemently defend- ing the Cape? or those lucious tea sandwiches at Book Week teas? A capa- ble little girl is Orly who shouldersjobs twice her size and conquers them all! Remember the library? Barb ' s the only librarian we remember who de- manded whispering and got it! — much to her consternation! Efficient and earnest! Definitely! NAN PURTELL North Adams Second Vice-President of S. C. A. 4; French Club 1, 2, 3 Treasurer 2; Vice- President 3; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Chapel Committee 3. An advocate of everything that ' s smooth explains the reason for the way things run under Nan ' s direction. Indifferent-definitely, yet she contributes whole-heartedly to the support of all B. T. C. enterprises. Remember the heat- wave ? Liking a good time and a good meal, Nan has a flare for finding these in new places. Regular reading of Mademoiselle and time tables keeps her well-informed on the subjects which interest her most. Indispensable as a player on the senior basketball team, as coffee-maker at midnight feasts, and as a member of all food committees, Nan is a truly versatile person. MARY QUEENAN Canton Treasurer of Class 4; Day Student Council 3,- Camera Club 4; Hobby Club 4; Newman Club 2, 3, 4; Women ' s Athletic Association; Head of Hockey. Here ' s one person whose genuineness is truly appreciated. Majoring in science, Mary adds opinion and argument to any discussion with accurate analysis. Her accuracy also keeps our class treasury in working order. A wide scope of interests is eveident in her management of hockey and her developing of campus shots. An abundant supply of witticisms entertains Mary ' s ever- growing circle of friends. Page 50 EDWIN RANDALL NaHck Secretary of Class 3, 4; Science Club 1 , 2, 3, 4; Advertising Manager of Alpha 4. Out training, Ed was known as the good-looking one, according to Harpo our ace reporter, and who are we to question her opinions? ! I However that is not all that can be said for Ed. Who would have read the minutes of our class meeting for the last two years, run the movies in chapel for Miss Graves or obtained our ads for Alpha, had Ed not done it? Always taking the defensive side no matter what the situation, Ed has found himself in many involved discussions even as to the definition of a Friend. JANE RAYMOND Buzzards Bay Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Sketch Group 3, 4; Library Club 3, 4; Poetry Group 4. As can be seen by her activities, Jane has a definite appreciation of all the arts and has perfected them all as far as creat ive work along these lines is concerned. She is the girl who sets the style for the campus and appears in the creations which can be bought in Boston next season! Her enthusiasm is endless and we shall remember always that she is the only one who could keep our economics class awake when we were listening to statistics for days and days in our junior year! SYLVIA RICHMAN Brockton French Club 1; Topics of the Day Club 3, 4; Menorah 3, 4; Women ' s Athletic Association. Playground work has revealed that Sylvia has a great fondness for chil- dren. This work and membership in Day Student Council have proved her ability to organize people and materials. Menorah Society and Topics of the Day Club have kept her abreast of current affairs. DOROTHY ROBINSON Sturbridge Kindergarten-Primary Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Dormitory Council 4. The instigator of many adventures, Dot is always welcome in any group that is looking for fun. She takes active part in each sport as it becomes season- able and here again her love of fun is well exemplified. Another one of her interests can be found in her photograph album for she has enough snapshots to fill two albums and these make an excellent record of her college life. We perceive a cosmopolitan outlook in her gang since Dot got her car. The dormi- tory has been only a stopping place, coming second to such centers as New York and Washington. Page 51 WILLIAM RODGERS Taunton Camera Club 1, 2, 3; Vice-President; Men ' s Athletic Association. Bill ' s popularity with his classmates was shown by his early election as class representative. Developments in the photographic dark-room have re- vealed an interest in photography. DOROTHY RUSSELL Chartley Women ' s Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4. With the serenity befitting a senior, Dorothy calmly takes life as it comes in the classroom. Possessing a definite appreciation and talent in music, she has devoted much time to acquiring additional theory and appreciation, when not trying to meet the requirements which Miss Lovett sets up in her journalism course! She possesses one of the chief requisites of a good teacher — a love of children — and she devotes much of her time to them at school as well as at home where she even teaches Sunday school. EILEEN SANFORD Attleboro Women ' s Athletic Association. A winning smile and a Della-Robbia angel pout signify her change of mood. She is the catalyst calming down the fiery temperaments of her friends. A lover of art, she finds Block Island a fitting place to enjoy her summers. Dis- playing a fount of unusual knowledge, she ' s sought after for any intellectual bull- session. Fond of the English in tweeds, folk-lore and misty days, she has made the dorm a staunch supporter of pork pie. She is as thorough in completing his- tory assignments as in posting culture on bulletin boards. Sandy is a girl with an understanding twice her size. MARIE-LOUISE SCANLON Middleboro Hobby Club 1; Newman Club 4; Women ' s Athletic Association. A dimpling smile which will be handy both in and out of the classroom laughter bubbling beneath her drawl, her easy-going enjoyment of life is based on a philosophy of living revealed only to a few. An accomplished organist, she wanders around humming snatches of next Sunday ' s anthems. If you ' re looking for her, keep your eyes open for a determined chin offset by elfin eye- brows. Page 52 ROBERT SCHNITZLER Boston Men ' s Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4. Definitely the business man of our class, or possessing that air! To his college work he has brought real ambition and aggressiveness. Even though his sense of humor may be doubted, his love of a good time never can be. Bob always looks as if he has just stepped out of a tailorshop being perhaps one of our best groomed men. WINIFRED SILVEIRA Gloucester Student Director of French Club 4; Vice-President 3; Secretary of Alpha; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4,- Choir; Chairman of Civic Committee. Blue Hawaii sung under a New England heaven reminds us of Wini ' s lovely soprano voice in- dispensable to week-end parties, Glee Club and A Cappella. Wini is a volatile sort of person. Her capriciousness distinguishes her from us who are more phlegmatic — sets her apart from the usual. And Wini is an unusual girl. In addition to her musical interests she finds time to contribute to the meetings of the Cultivated Culture Group and extend her culture to being director of Le Cercle Francais. WILLIAM SKULLEY Brockton President of Newman Club 4; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Men ' s Athletic Association. Bill came to us from Tufts and Tufts, loss was certainly Bridgewater ' s gain, for his pleasant personality and good-natured laugh make him a necessary participant in all Bridgewater functions. Bill is interested not only in pedagogic but also in military tactics, spending his summers at Plattsburg increasing his knowledge of the latter. The successful year that Newman Club has had under Bill ' s direction typifies the way things run with him as leader and sure point to a bright future. Good luck, Bill. ELIZABETH SMITH Dartmouth ibrary Club 2, 3, 4; Vice-President 4; Garden Club 1, 2, 3. Betty is the minion of the bookshelves in the training school library. Evi- dently books are her chief interest; she has an amazing capacity for reading, completing more best-sellers in a month than most of us do in a year. Possessing an unruffled disposition, she faces each new situation calmly and in a level- headed manner and with a quality of this sort, she is bound to be successful in the career for which she is preparing. Page 53 HENRY SPATZ Roxbury French Club 2, 3; Business Manager of Alpha 4. Men ' s Athletic Association. A business man from head to foot, Henry has fulfilled his jobs for Alpha in a conscientious manner. His cocky felt hat and garbardine suits tack the ad- jectives of dapper and sporty to his name, and we imagine they have helped him get many rides the nights he has gone to Roxbury by road-side felicitation. We shall always remember his reading of French poetry our freshman year. It stayed us! MARION SPENCER Weymouth Kindergarten-Primary Club; Women ' s Athletic Association. Tall, erect, serious, and seemingly quiet, Marian is interested in the finer things of life for which she has a natural appreciation. Marian delves into the arts and music and attending the opera annually is one of her treasures. Her versatility does not end here for when it comes to sports we find Marian leading the skaters and swimmers by big strides. MIRIAM STEIN Quincy Menorah Society; Secretary 3; Vice-President 4; Topics of the Day Club 2, 3, 4. Miriam is a person who is individual in her ideas and expresses them freely and convincingly. Her academic interests lie mainly in literature, economics and sociology, perhaps explaining the fact that she can discuss all of the latest books pertaining to any of these fields. An active member of the Topics of the Day Club in addition to the aforementioned activities, makes her among the most well-informed members of the class. MERILYN STUDLEY Rockland Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Secretary 3; First Vice-President 4; Student Choir Director 4; German Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Choir 1, 2, 3, 4; A Cappella. As a freshman the first thing we noticed about Merilyn was her quick smile and pleasant greeting. Those of us who were in Training School with her recall the familiar picture of her sauntering around sporting an Indian headdress. Miss Rand ' s balance wheel, she has done her share in maintaining the good records of our Glee Club and choir. Page 54 BARBARA TAYLOR Wellesley Hills President of S. C. A. 4; Vice-President of Class 3; President of Student Fellowship 2, 3; Dormitory Council 1,2; Glee Club 1,2, 3; Choir. Tall, unassuming, amiable and to top it all an enviable head of curly locks — that ' s our S. C. A. president. We admire Barb for her general efficiency, her earnest desire to improve every enterprise in which she finds herself and, yes, for that spontaneous, infectious laugh. As to her musical ability we question only her ability to shine with the bow. We have witnessed the results. How about it, Barb? Are you going to keep away from the fiddle? JEAN TAYLOR Westwood Student Fellowship 1, 2, 3, 4; Vice-President 2, 3; French Club 1, 2; Science Club 2, 3, 4,- Division Representative 1 . Modern dancing is Jean ' s chief intetest. Tuesdays and Thursdays she can always be found doing a spiral fall or a rhythm step. An inveterate collector, Jean is constantly teased about her closet overflowing with scrapbooks. How- ever, these same teasers came to be the habitual borrowers of the collected material. Jean has shown great interest in church work. Student Fellowship and having Kathie Kelly as her inspiration should lead Jean to success in the hardest job of all — living beneficiently. HELEN TEBBETS Brockton Hobby Club 3, 4; Topics of the Day Club 4; Women ' s Athletic Association 1,2,3,4. Helen is a born history student and just as good an organizer we found out when she planned that field trip to Plymouth. Emphatic and decisive when she expresses an opinion, she usually ends by laughing it off. Her interest in geneology has lead to making a lengthy compilation of her ancestors. She has even discovered that she has a common ancestor! JOHN TOBIN Bridgewater Baseball, basketball, and tennis 1, 2, 3, 4; President of Men ' s Athletic As- sociation 4. Jack is the college connoisseur of dance orchestras and new steps; remember his leading the big apple ? His four years work in all the major sports has been outstanding and he ably combined these with his class work. As president of the Men ' s Club he has been the instigator of many new ideas which have at least got him into involved discussions if they profited him nothing! Page 55 NORMA TUOMALA Quincy Women ' s Athletic Association Governing Board 1, 2, 3; Assistant Treasurer 2; Treasurer 3. The efficient way in which Norma has guided the pocketbook of Women ' s Athletic Association is typical of the way she does everything. Possessing a scientific mind she is a mathematical wizard and has solved many problems for the class this year. She and Thelma can be seen rushing up from the train any morning comparing mathematical problems or discussing some new ven- ture for Women ' s Athletic Association. They both are experts in the folk dances of their native country and Norma is very good at giving instructions if any of you are desirous of learning! JOHN TYNDALL Bellingham Men ' s Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4. John came to college for the sole purpose of getting an education and he has taken every opportunity to accomplish his purpose. He does not express his opinions very readily, but when he does you can be certain they will be well worth listening to. He and George seem to find a lot in common for they are almost inseparable and here we get a glimpse of true loyalty and sincerity that are his. LUCILLE TRENEAR South Weymouth German Club 1; Hobby Club 4; Women ' s Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4. Self-sufficient in a truly feminine manner, Lucille works thoroughly and conscientiously. She is soft-spoken and unobtrusive and has a decided interest in children. Her high cheek bones tuck her eyes out of sight and her chin tightens into a triangle when she is amused. Reading and hiking help to keep her mentally and physically active. LENA TROJANO Brockton Topics of the Day Club 3, 4; Kindergarten-Primary Club 1, 2; Newman Club 4; Day Student Council 2. Lena has a serene interesting face. Conscientious and thorough she is in- tensely interested in her work. Her favorite question is, Are we going to have a test? Except when the answer to that question is in the affirmative, Lena is quiet and tends to exert a calm influence upon her friends. She is es- pecially gentle and successful in directing children. 3e 56 GRACE WALL Brockton Day Student Council 3; Newman Club 1; Women ' s Athletic Association. Grace is the girl who tells us by her wearing apparel, what Vogue is showing this month. Pale skin in contrast with dark hair and strongly formed features make hers an arresting face. One year of imprisonment within the walls of Wood, made her and Hope realize there is no place like home, so Grace joined the ranks of the day-students and the dormitory assumed a new quiet! Soft-spoken, yet deliberate, she is friendly and easy-going and we envy her her light-heartedness. IRMA WALL Quincy First Vice-President of S. C. A.; Treasurer of Class 3; Camera Club Hobby Club 3 Women ' s Athletic Association Representative 3. Charm and assurance, plus a certain casualness and the air of not having a worry in the world contribute to Irma ' s success in running the social functions of the college. She possesses a certain air of dignity destroyed on occasion by an old habit — blushing. Neat and dainty Irma ' s blonde loveliness graces any occasion that her fun-loving desires may initiate. She is an indispensable half of the Barb-lrm combination that is so familiar on campus. MARGARET WALL Brockton Choir 1, 2, 3, 4; A capella 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, A, Vice-President 4. One of t ie prize possessions of the music department is Peg. A leader in Glee Club, Choir and A Capella and a song leader in chapel, she has handled her responsibilities in a wonderful way. She is not a typical song-bird, however, for Peg has too many worries. As enthusiastic in her friendships as in her activi- ties, she expresses her opinions subtly but unmistakably. ELEANOR WALSH Quincy Day Student Council 3; Head of Tennis 3, 4,- Newman Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Women ' s Athletic Association. Eleanor is a devotee of the tennis courts for more than one reason we hear. She is also a charter member of the Rocky Point crowd. There is an air of nonchalance about her work, but she has an enviable ability of getting it in by the dead line. Charming assurance plus the ability to say the right thing at the right time mark her as a grand fellow worker — and player. Page 57 GERALDINE WARDWELL Brockton Division Representative 4; Day Student Council 1, 4; Women ' s Athletic As- sociation Representative 2; Topics of the Day Club 1, 2, 4; Newman Club 1,2,3,4. Gerry loves to argue, but, mind you, she insists on a basis (or heated dis- cussions and a thorough knowledge of parliamentary procedure. In chapel, as well as in classes, she confirms or denies vehemently any statement open for discussion. When thoroughly interested, she possesses inexhaustible energy — witness her activities in Day Student Council. Gerry ' s smooth clothes are en- viable and her hair is inimitable in its lovliness. Ma y we prophesy — she ' ll go places! LOUISE WENTWORTH Braintree Hobby Club 1, 2; Women ' s Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4. Louise is noted for her smooth clothes and distinctive hair styles. She is one of the few persons who have found out the happy medium between the in- tellectual and the carefree. The possessor of a ruddy complexion, she has ac- quired the Art of blushing. Her infectious laugh is the reason for everyone ' s telling her amusing stories. MILDRED WHEELER New Bedford Dormitory Council; Vice-President of Tillinghast; President of Garden Club. Poised and dignified, Mim is an alert business woman. Her greatest in- terest is journalism and creative writing. Her love for reading has led her far into the field of modern literature both for adults and children. Slim and flexible, Mim is often incidental dormitory entertainer — being well-versed in anything from the tango to the Jumping Jive. JEAN WHITING Plymouth Glee Club 3, 4; Choir 4; Day Student Council 2; Women ' s Athletic Associa- tion; Secretary 4. Remember Jean and Alba taking off the Plymouthites on the way to Salem when we were freshmen? Jean has not lost any of her pep or enthusiasm as she has become weighed down with her extra-curricular! Easy-going and calm in all situations, she showed us what she really could do when she taught the perfect history lesson this year. Tall, pleasing personality, smart clothes, all these are Jean. Page 58 DORIS WOODBURY Abington Baseball 1,2, 3; Field Hockey 1, 2; Baseball 1,2, 3; Soccer 1; Hobby Club 3, 4. From her association with Hobby Club, Doris must have decided that athletics of all types would be her hobby, for there certainly are few that she hasn ' t tried! She is known for her sincerity and naive manner which help to pull her out of that unintentional penchant for trouble which she seems to posses;. Although a four-year adherent to the same gang, she has a friendly word and smile for everyone. GERTRUDE WOODWARD East Norton Hobby Club,- German Club; Topics of the Day. Gertrude ' s gracious dignity makes her welcome in any group. She has a definite tendency toward the field of Agriculture. Her artistic ability is evi- dent not only in her fine drawings but also in her clever management of her hair, not to mention her culinary skills which certainly point out more than teaching in her future! RUTH WORTHY Boston Women ' s Athletic Association. Ruth ' s desire to help others was the chief cause of her transfering from a secretarial school to B. T. C. She wants to do social service work in the role of a teacher and has made a very good start spending her summers at a settle- ment house in Boston. Ruth plays the ' Cello in the trio which provides music for our chapel programs and she is never missing from the orchestra at any function. Through her desire for knowledge ske keeps up on all world affairs and is always ready to take part in any discussion. ELIZABETH WRIGHT Dedham German Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Garden Club 3, 4; Program Committee 3, 4; Glee Club 4; French Club 1,2. Charm, humor, originality, personality — these are the words that best de- scribe Buffie. She has a rare quality of freshness and enjoys each day ' s ex- periences. An idealist with flights of fancy, she frequently has to be restrained. This culture enthusiast has an intense interest in music, language, and the arts. Miss Rand ' s disconcerting habit of abruptly terminating a symphony never failed to fill Buffie with dismay. Don ' t let the years change you Buffie. Page 59 MARJORIE WRIGHT Braintree Women ' s Athletic Association Board 3, 4; Newman Club 2, 3, 4; Hobby Club 2, 3. Margy is the sympathetic, understanding person who listens to Anna ' s love of nature. Inseparable for four years, they have made an interesting pair on campus. We all know Margy for her quick speech which is always interesting, and for the fun she helps provide for the Rocky-Point crowd. She didn ' t contribute much financial aid to the Cackle Club but she made up for it in other ways! Attractive, fun-loving and popular — That ' s Margy! BERNARD ZATUCHNY Dorchester Men ' s Glee Club 1 , 2, 3, 4,- Topics of the Day Club 2, 3, 4; Menorah Club 3, 4. Although Bernard is never smileless, he lives as if he had purpose in life. A hard worker and a good student, he is meticulous in thought and action. History classes would be dull without his accurate accounts of the new deal etc. Although Bernie isn ' t preparing for the career, we think he would make a real good business man! HAROLD ZEOLI East Weymouth German Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Men ' s Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4. His actions fail to hide his ability, for a special report or a recitation will reveal an analytical mind and a twelve cylinder vocabulary. For four years he has been known for his musical talents and his cutting of classes. His odd remarks and habits, painfully comical, are in accord with his philosophy — that the world owes him a living! PHYLLIS ZIEMIAN Indian Orchard Kindergarten-Primary Club 1,2, 3, 4; Corresponding Secretary 4; Garden Club 1, 2,- Newman Club 1, 2, 3, 4. One needs only to look at Phyl to realize that her predominating interest is the latest Paris creation in chapeaux. The fact that her hat is only an ac- cessory to her chic clothes numbers Phyl among the best-dressed seniors. Ex- cept in the dormitory where competition in speech runs high, Phyl has an ex- tremely quiet and reserved manner. However this in no way interferes with her enthusiasm for her vocation where energy and inguenity have brought her many laurels. age 60 FRANCIS BURBANK Brockton Fran was graduated from Tuffs a few years ago with an A.B. degree and he has been a welcome addition to our classes with his valuable experiences and his subtle humor. MORTON C. COMEE Bridgewater Having graduated from Keene Normal some years ago and taught for a while, Morton decided to take a year ' s leave of absence and take some history courses. He helped make possible some very successful field trips in history. ELLIOT WILSON Quincy Transferring here from Massachusetts State, Elliott has made many worth- while contributions to the college as well as his classes. Remember the interesting illustrated lecture on the Southwest? We have Elliot to thank for this. ge61 FORMER MEMBERS OF THE CLASS OF 40 Eleanor Brooks: transferred to Radcliffe Lillian Boutin: married to Gordon Rice and lives in Taunton Hope Fletcher: now Mrs. A.

I reread the book of methods we had used in class And saw some purpose in it. Today I taught a lesson on sugar, And the children, polite little souls, listened dutifully. After the third was completed, My mind with a courteous bow withdrew and left me Alone . . . Gibbering . . . Margaret Meade Page 63 VALENTINE Marilyn made him a valentine — A pitiful fribble of crumpled paper. She thrust it on his desk hastily. Upon reading the message, The young man, An interesting shade of purple, Tore it into pieces . . . distastefully . . . scornfully.

If you were a commuter, you probably came to take your health exam. Do you remember how forlorn you felt in that angel robe which made you look like anything but an angel? Most of us were surprised to pass the dreadful exam, for we were sure that if there were nothing the matter with us when we started, we ' d probably die of exhaustion before we were finished. The first day of school was the worst probably. At chapel, we were surprised when they sang the Lord ' s Prayer instead of saying it. We were left out as we did not know the tune. We looked at the murals and delighted in the muses, coming to the conclusion that their feet probably never touched ground — they looked that way, at least. After chapel we were taken around to our classes; it seemed to be a day of walking, of getting lost and asking questions. In the dining room at noon we were confused and for the first time in our lives lost our appetites. It is really unfortunate to be a freshman, we thought. See how happy everyone is (we hadn ' t been through an exam week) and how they all know each other! The next week was initiation week. We had to carry purple bags for our books, and the terrible sophomores (for all freshmen think the sophs unforgiveable) forbade us to paint our faces, and for some of us for our own good. There was a horrible defini- tion of COLLEGE which some of us never learned and for this reason spent the whole week dodging sophs. The first morning of initiation week, the seniors marched in dressed in cap and gown. We were awed and impressed. One impressionable little girl confided to everyone that she felt like crying. We were surprised to find the following in the first CAMPUS COMMENT which we soon received: Is the present crop of freshmen a more sophisticated lot than the worthy group who first adorned this campus three years ago or can it be that the most revered seniors have lost some of their dignity along the way? This query arises from the astonishing fact that several of the ' lowest ' classmen have refused to be impressed by the solemn sight of serious seniors marching into chapel attired in caps and gowns. They watch this dignified procedure with indulgent smiles and pass it off as just another whim of those queer upper-classmen (CAMPUS COMMENT, Oct. 2, ' 36). After initiation, the year started to go by. Do you remember practicing receiving lines with Miss Pope, planting lettuce outside the greenhouse and cutting your fingers while making apple-tree grafts which you knew never would grow, making your first splash of water-color for Miss Nye, and there was more splash than anything else, playing soccer in windy field where your feet and the ball never got together, and then taking a steaming hurried shower? And preparing a slide for the microscope full of bulbous air-bubbles which you thought were part of the cellular struct ure of the Page 66 onion membrane? When Dr. Florence Meredith, author of Twelve Hours of Hygiene, spoke during chapel period, you noted down every word she spoke, as Miss Caldwell told you to do and you were ready for a test on it at every moment. We had two new teachers that year: Mr. McGurren of the Chemistry Department and Miss Low of the English Department. Mr. McGurren, said Here I seem to feel that I am helping students that will later be of service to society, Miss Low gave us the plays Where the Cross Is Made, Where Is My Money? and David Copper- field and dramatics were on a higher plane even than before. At the Freshman Banquet, given in the gymnasium on November 5, each division sang a song which it had composed itself. We realize now that we were sadly in need of Miss Rand ' s course. After becoming acquainted, we chose class representatives for the five divisions. They were John Tobin, George Harris, Jean Lindsay, Barbara Prince, and Jean Taylor. Later we chose our class officers: Joseph Lesenechal, presi- dent; Annette Patricia Breen, vice-president; Edward Tobin, secretary; and Mary O ' Rourke, treasurer. At Christmas we attended our first Christmas banquet and after the dinner enjoyed a carol concert of familiar carols and English and foreign wassail songs directed by Miss Rand. Why the Chimes Rang with Rosalie Lynch as Holger was given under the direction of Miss Low. And that horrible week of exams — we never knew that a week could crawl by as that one did. We went through it somehow. The one in geography was the worst, it seemed, although there were no easy ones. That was the year that Carl Sandburg read his poetry to us and the Glee Club gave its first concert singing old airs from England, Ireland, France, Hebrides, and the Orient. Toward the end of the year we gave our first social — with a baseball motif. Venders sold peanuts, candy bars and ice cream cones, and all one hundred and sixty-four guests went home singing ' Take me out to the ball game ' . Dr. Scott left us to accept a position as superintendent of schools in Louisville, Kentucky and a professorship of education in Louisville Municipal University. Our first year came to an end. After carrying oak-boughs at the Ivy Planting, we went home a little wiser and just a little sad, for even now we had become attached to our Alma Mater. SECOND YEAR We came back all grown up this year, for somehow sophomores always think they ' re grown-up. We were already for the freshmen — didn ' t we make them wear baby bonnets and long black stockings, and believe me we didn ' t show any mercy. Revenge is sweet, they say. Dr. Maxwell and Mr. Davoren joined the faculty. Mr. Kelly, former dean of men, became president of the college, and he remained president for the rest of our four years. Page 67 X-rays for tuberculosis showed that the entire class was free from disease. Some of us still retain the certificate, displaying it at odd moments. Dr. David Zacks, who had charge of affairs, gave us some advice which we liked. He said, Don ' t study too much. There isn ' t one subject in your curriculum that is worth more to you than your health. When you find yourself tired and bewildered from studying, stop. The dramatic club gave us Silas Marner with Francis Callan in the title role. At the election for class officers, we chose Martin Killory for president, Edwin Randall for secretary, and Irma Wall for treasurer. When we look back this seems rather a vague year, slipping by before we were aware that it had done so. We are left with a jumbled memory of a series of tests given by Miss Lutz — each test different, Russian dramas and poisonings, shaping delightful bowls from horrible, slippery clay, and making our first chalk drawings — an adventure in dust, glorious color, and dirty fingers. We still carried oak boughs at the ivy festival, but we were nearer to the juniors. We felt like juniors rather than sophomores, for we realized now that we were really growing up. THIRD YEAR This was the year that we went into the Training School. You consulted the list of assignments to see which teacher you would have. Probably you did not know the teacher very well; you may have seen her a couple of times. You were worried and scared and you spent the first day in a daze. It wasn ' t half so bad as you had thought. Miss Davis gave us a talk and some of the tension left us. During the first recess some of the little girls invited us to jump rope with them. We forgot that we were juniors — grown-up — quite sophisticated — and we jumped rope gladly. Our first lesson was not half so bad as we had anticipated, although we were irritated at the knocking sound which turned out to be our knees. We had to teach for Miss Rand and for Mr. Reynolds. Somehow we lived through these first lessons. Both Mr. Reynolds and Miss Rand were very kind to us; one felt they may have taught sometime for the first time also. We remember one rainy day how wet the playground was — shining and packed down with rain. That was the worst day. After this — or about this time — most of us became enthusiastic about Training School or at least what looked like enthusiasm. Since there was no drawing class for the seniors, those interested in drawing petitioned Mr. Reynolds and Miss Nye for some kind of drawing period. The result was the Sketch Group which was composed of twenty juniors and seniors. The group met once a week to sketch — out-of-doors as much as possible. Some of us will never forget the cold windy afternoons, the water-clammy brushes, and the dripping draw- ings which would not dry. The wiser ones used chalk on a day like this. Then later we would have a fire and look at the moon as we ate. On November 18, we attended the S. C. A. formal. The decorations were in blue-green and silver and the World Fair was the motif. Do you remember Rusty Logan and Jane Raymond constructing the trylon and the perisphere? We had many enjoyable chapel programs this year. The German Club under the direction of David Levenson gave a happy program. The stage represented the main dining room of a Hofbrau. There was a quartet of singing waitresses, folk dances, and music by a German band. The Federal Theatre Players brought us Marlowe ' s Tragical History of Dr. Faustus. We watched Faust sell his soul to the Devil and Page 68 finally be carried away by devils. The devils had a delightful pyro-fashion of making an appearance. The Junior Social was carried on in a western fashion. The gym was changed into a desert scene with red-spotted cows and bulls, lending a western atmosphere. This was the year of the hurricane. Many of the spruce trees on the lower campus were torn up. Subsequently beautification of the campus started and there were plans to replace some of the trees lost in the hurricane. But it seems that all we have now are the plans. The sophomore and junior classes sponsored the Crystal Snow Ball. Faye Postle was crowned Campus Snow Queen. The Dramatic Club gave Annie Laurie which was particularly well received. The president of the Student Cooperative Association was chosen from the junior class as we would be leaders in the college next year. Barbara Taylor became presi- dent; Irma Wall, first vice-president; and Nan Purtell, second vice-president. The first Bridgewater night at the Pops Concert in Symphony Hall was held this year, and all the musical organizations as well as the rest of the college were enthu- siastic. The Saturday Art classes were held for Training School pupils who were interested in art. This plan was inaugurated and sponsored by Mr. Reynolds. Seniors and juniors helped him conduct the classes. Mr. Reynolds announced at the end of the year that he had accepted a position at the Massachusetts School of Art. Later he became pre sident of that school. We were very sorry to have him leave us. So our junior year ended. During those last few days it seemed to us that we had hardly any more time to spend in the college,- our senior year would go by very swiftly. FOURTH YEAR We came back to the college as seniors this year. It is a great responsibility to be leaders of the college. We realize this and try to act properly dignified, but somehow, even for seniors, at times it is difficult. Senior Week gave us our first oppor- tunity to wear cap and gown. They laughed at us at home but we knew that we were impressive. We could see it in the eyes of the freshmen, but then the freshmen are always impressed. This was the hundredth anniversary of the college and the first centennial program was celebrated in chapel. Francis Callan and Gerald Connor, having won a speaking competition, made the announcements and gave the readings. A brief history of the college was shown, and Training School pupils participated in the program. Classes kept us sufficiently busy this year, too. We studied philosophies of educa- tion and learned to ctmpute I.Q. ' s and more than once after exams we wondered about our own. Our time was divided into periods of reading Shakespeare, reading the New York Times for journalism, and acting in impromptu love scenes for drama- tization. Then came our period of practice teaching. At Mardi Gras, Helen Judge was chosen queen. The next important social affair was Campus Carnival. Before we realized it, it was time to graduate. Baccalaureate, the Senior Prom, the Class Picnic, the Faculty Reception, Class Day and Commencement were over before we were aware of it. The Centennial Pageant impressed us greatly and we fel that since we must go, it was good to go at the climax of the history of the college.

Did you ever know a more funful group? Some of them we have known in their previous years at Bridgewater,- with the others we have soon become acquainted. Although it is only a year that they have been with us as a group, they have made a worthy name for themselves in the eyes of the underclassmen.

The oak boughs, held by the freshmen and sophomores symbolize the everlasting protection of the college. The daisy-chain, carried by the junior women represents a guard of honor for the seniors. The ivy, which is planted and also carried by each graduate, symbolizes the spirit of comradeship and good fellowship. The Alma Mater, sung by the seniors at the conclusion of the march, signifies the continual renewal of their loyalty for the college. Page 73 President Vice-President JUNIOR Loring Felch Pauline Murdock Days seem to have sped by since we have risen from our obscurity as Freshmen to prominence as Juniors. Entering upon our first experiences as teachers we found much enjoyment in this field, and now with a great deal of curiosity and animation we anticipate next year ' s teaching in the Public School System. The added professional air is attributed to this period, and a new appreciation of the method and cultural courses is realized. CLASS Secretary Treasurer Winifred Taylor Edward Sawicki We busy Juniors found time to attend the Swing-a-Song Social, a gay festivity. And then came the most eventful and successful social event of the year with novel decorations, The Ball of Hearts. This was the Sophomore-Junior Prom. The time has now come when we shall look forward to the new experiences and many activities which will be ours as Seniors! Winifred Taylor, Secretary SOPHOMORE President Anthony Perry Vice-President Alice Bubriski On Tuesday, October 3, 1939, the Sophomore Class held its first meeting of the year. A discussion concerning the taking of attendance in chapel ended in a motion that the class was opposed to this practice. At the next meeting it was announced that our class should present a chapel program. The following meeting consisted of a discussion of the program, and the decision was reached that we should have an In- formation Please Program. Chapel conduct was the topic of discussion at the next meeting, at which time Miss Lutz spoke to the class. CLASS Secretary Treasurer Gloria Marshall Thomas Buckley January 5, 1 940, it was announced that our chapel program was cancelled. Plans (or the Sophomore- Junior Prom were discussed in detail. At the last class meeting the problem of a chapel program was again discussed. We voted not to have any program this year. An approximate report of the proceeds from the Sadie Hawkins Social, March 1, 1 940, were given. Gloria Marshall, Secretary ™ H8t Sp FRESHMAN President John Henry Fitzgerald Vice-President Madeline Baker During the first week of school in September, 1939, when the freshman class of potential teachers entered Bridgewater, they wonderingly took English exams and struggled with their programs until they were at last adjusted. Although they considered this rather difficult, they were yet to find out what one had to go through in order to become formally a member of Bridgewater. Flowing green neckties and freshman caps were sported by the boys, while yellow ribbons, Indian style, adorned the young ladies ' foreheads. White cotton stockings, a huge name band across her chest, and a pillow case for carrying books produced more aggravation on the part of the girls. However, both boys and girls were good sports about it and a large crowd attended the party sponsored by the sophomores, at which time the freshies willingly abandoned their initiation togs. ™1 „ .C5 iL W w nte ' £!l ' -I. C X, CLASS Secretary Treasurer Elaine Kamandulis Joseph Comerford In December a freshman party was held when the candidates for class officers were introduced to the students and the faculty. March 26 was the date of the humorous chapel program in charge of Lois Smith. In this program freshman life was depicted in four scenes: initiation, mid-year exams, a typical speech class, and a typical music class. A freshman tea was sponsored on April 8, Edna Dolber being in charge. It was held in the Tilling- hast reception hall by Miss Pope ' s Social Usage classes. Spring Fever, an ailment typical to most freshmen, was the theme of their social. Madeline Baker acted as general chairman of the affair which was held on Friday, April 26, at the gym. This concludes a very active and co-operative freshman year, and the entire class hopes that their next three years here will be as happy and successful as their first. Elaine Kamandulis, Secretary IN THE LOWER GARDEN In the lily-pad pool in the lower garden, The scarlet-orange fish travel in swift jerks In and out bruised, purple water-stalks, Their cold lips moving slowly. A moss-backed, old father-frog For the first time this year Has come out of the deep, soft mud. He swims feebly — desultorily. On impulse one picks him up And feels the frightened heart-beat in his throat. Repenting, one puts him back into the green water Where he floats all crumpled up and terrified. The sharp flashing of golden-orange fish goes on. One goes away Feeling worried about the frog. ON SUBSTITUTING FOR THE FIRST TIME Reading blindly from the Psalms, One agonizes, If they should laugh now Or suddenly revolt, Throwing books at each other — ! They do not revolt. They say their prayers properly. Page 80 STUDENTS ' CO-OPERATIVE President Barbara Taylor 1st Vice-President 2nd Vice-President Irma Wall Nan Purtell The Student Co-Operative Association is the most important and active organization in this college. Every student automatically becomes a member of the association upon entrance. Two meetings are held each month instead of one as has been the practice in previous years. The organizations represented on the Student Council are the following: 1. Class Presidents; 2. Repre- sentatives from the divisions of all classes; 3. President of Day Students and of Dormitory Council; 4. President of Men ' s Club; 5. President of Women ' s Athletic Association; 6. President of Men ' s Athletic Association 7. Executive Editor of Campus Comment ; 8. Editor-in-Chief of Alpha ; 9. Chairman of Standing Com- mittees; and all officers of Student Co-Operative Association. At Christmas time the Council directed the traditional drive to collect money for the needy. Gifts were also given at this time to members of the staff that their untiring services might be recognized. Under the direction of the Social Activities Committee, an interesting program was planned for the year. frO+ J ASSOCIATION Treasurer Secretary Barbara Dobbyn Helen Judge The curtains purchased for the gymnasium by S.C.A. were First used at the Frost Frolic Formal over which King Winter reigned. This proved to be one of the most successful functions of the year. The Council also sponsored Sue Hastings and her Marionette Show which proved to be both educational and amusing. S.C.A. Says, an innovation in Capmus Comment, is a means of forming a closer alliance with the Council and the student body. Student Council stands as an organization ready to extend hospitality to all of our visitors. This is especially significant now because of the Centennial celebrations. Students are encouraged at all times to present problems and suggestions that pertain to student life and student welfare. This year the decisions and problems brought before the association have been dis- cussed openly and have been acted upon without faculty assistance. Helen Judge, Secretary r i?AjO DAY STUDENT COUNCIL President Vice-President Secretary Treas Jean Lindsay Ruth Chadwick Jean Whiting Rita Fitzgerald This year we had an active council made up of the officers and twenty representatives of the day stu- dents. In October we held our annual Big and Little Sister Party in the Commuters ' Room. The faculty was given a chance to get acquainted with the freshmen, participate in games and enjoy doughnuts and cider. Everyone turned outfor the Commuters ' Social in March, and for Open House at which time parents had opportunity to renew acquaintances with the faculty and to observe some work and changes which had taken place during the year. Dormitory Council began its ' 39- ' 40 season by furnishing committees to welcome the Freshmen. Thus one of the aims was fulfilled. The aim of the organization is to give each girl living in the dormitories a chance to express her opinions and criticisms. Both dormitories have several representatives on council, who act co-operatively in making and enforcing rules necessary for dormitory life. Dormitory Council is directly responsibile for student life in the dormitories. It makes and enforces regulations that govern the general conduct of students; thereby making dormitory life as happy and as pleasant as possible for everyone.

Ce n ' est pas dans le Mardi Gras seul que I ' interet du Cercle se trouve. Le cercle nous aide a fixer I ' attention sur les choses de la vie qui sont les plus elevees et c ' est ce stimulant qui nous fait amasser I ' eau de notre reservoir de culture.

Sans doute notre club est un des plus avantageux, des plus progressifs, et des plus heureux des clubs du college. Vive le Cercle Francais! Page 86 LIBRARY CLUB President Vice-President Treas Secretary Rose Lans Betty Smith Elna Filipson Louise Forsyth This year, as in past years, Library Club presented programs with the aim of giving to its members a cultural appreciation of literature. Reviews of the new books given by members of the club and general dis- cussion periods added to the understanding of contemporary novels, plays, and non-fiction. Plays and mov- ing pictures were compared with the original books and other books dealing with the same subjects were read to give a more complete understanding or to see how they could be treated by another author. Literature in its interpretive and social aspects was brought to us when the club attended a production of the Little Foxes in Boston, a student from Emerson College dramatized classical drama, and we entered rhe Men ' s Athletic Association ' s one act play contest. The membership of Library Club is of necessity limited, but it is the desire of Club the to assist in satis- fying the literary desires of the rest of the student body. The Lending Library, specializing in contemporary literoture under the sponsorship of Library Club, attempts to do so.

At these meetings, all busi- ness is brought up and discussed. Our social meetings, however, are held after school, at which times a luncheon is served in the commuters ' social room. Entertainment, games, and impersonations are the most popular forms of activity at such events. A theatre party was organized this year at which time some of the members went to Boston and saw Raymond Massey in Abe Lincoln in Illinois at the opera house. A banquet is being planned for the last meeting and each member will be in some sort of entertainment. Due to the fact that the auditorium can not be used in May, the production of Pride and Prejudice has been postponed until next year. Eleanor Murphy, Secretary Page 88 CAMPUS COMMENT Executive Editor David Levenson Assistant Executive Editor Dorothy Giddings During the year the college newspaper staff has edited issues of Campus Comment once every two weeks. Members of the staff attended conferences at Fitchburg, and the Convention of the Columbia Scholas- tic Press Association at Columbia University, New York. The staff provided for a conference of all the Massachusetts Teachers College publications in April, at which time many outstanding newspaper men gave excellent speeches. In order to raise money for the New York Delegates, the staff sponsored a social in the early Fall, food sales during the year, an excellent hair and style show, and the sale of personal pencils. An acquaintance dinner was given at the home of the Club adviser, Miss Lovett, and the final get- together was held at a local inn. The present staff has worked untiringly to furnish a worthwhile paper, and the members wish the best of success to the graduating Class of 1940! Mary Larkin TOPICS of the DAY CLUB President Vice-President Secretory Treasurer Betty McLaughlin Patrick O ' Brien Anna Kelley Tynne Peterson Are you well acquainted with current topics? It is the primary aim of the Topics of the Day Club to help its members make this acquaintance. As a means to this end, all members are given an opportunity to discuss pertinent questions of the day. The club believes that in this way, real thinking is started and interest is aroused so that members begin to take an active rather than a passive interest in current affairs. The appli- cation of a knowledge of history to the discussion of current questions makes history richer, more meaningful and more useful to its owner. Meetings are held on every other Tuesday afternoon at three-thirty. The program is usually given by the students who present lectures, arguments, debates and discussions. The year generally opens with an out-door party for new members which is always attended by a large number. At Christmas time another party is held. A banquet at a near-by inn is usually the closing meeting. Anna Kelly, Secretary Page 90 HOBBY CLUB President Vice-President Treasurer Agnes Higgins Loretta Manter Edna Brov In recent years there has been an increasing trend toward the further development of avocations. The slogan has been At least one hobby for every person. Hobby Club aims to promote and maintain active interests in favorite avocations and to supply information and materials which pertain to them to any who are interested. At the first meeting of the year Mr. Stearns, our advisor, showed us his numerous hobbies and told about others to suggest hobbies to those members who had not acquired one. Throughout the year mem- bers talked about their hobbies and occasionally outside speakers were presented. The Hobby Exhibit at the end of the year gave non-members a chance to see some of our work. Ruth Kravif, Secretary At a time when the majority of people pay little attention to gardens and to nature, Garden Club and its members still maintain these qualities. This club furnishes opportunity to study nature and to learn the secrets of plant life. For those who previously maintained an interest in gardening it provides an opportunity to further this interest. The meetings combine the practical and the theoretical. An informal business session is followed by practical tasks such as planting, making cuttings, Or potting plants. The club stresses informality since it feels that anything as living, as natural, as a garden cannot be associated with business-like formality. At Christmas time the club members gave their help in decorating the auditorium and the dormitories. The brilliant poinsettias, carefully nurtured in the garden, aided in this task. Carolyn Turner, Secretary A«£10 T. C. President Mildred Wheeler Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Ruth Kravif Carolyn Turner Eleanor Fulton Page 91 SCIENCE CLUB President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Barbara Lutted William Edgar Elna Filipson Joseph Plouffe One of the aims of the Science Club is to promote an active interest in the study of science here at Bridgewater. Our meetings this year have been devoted to subjects which not only correlate with class work, but become good supplementary material as well. We have learned by doing. Our unit on astronomy took us out on clear nights to study the majestic wonders of the heavens. In geology we not only heard and read about rocks and their formation, but we saw and felt them. In our nature study, which has lasted throughout every season, we have tried to stress those points which would be most interesting to children of all grades. This knowledge which the members of the club get from observation, research, and outside speaker s is practical and applicable for the present and the future. Elna Filipson, Secretary Young, but healthy, the Press Club of freshman and sophomore journalism enthusiasts and Campus Comment staff aspirants studied the fundamentals of newspaper writing by having such reporters as John Sweeney, Jr. of the New Bedford Standard Times and Kenneth G. Dalton of the Brockton Enterprise, by visiting newspaper plants, by laboratory work, and by publishing a daily news bulletin. Our aim is: Press Club members today; publication faculty members tomorrow. PRESS CLUB President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Bernard Kinsella Ruth Carlisle Vera Gronuall Margaret Burns Page 92 KINDERGARTEN- PRIMARY CLUB President Vice-President Secretary Claire Curran ElizabethWood Phyllis Ziemiart Treasurer Barbara Buffintcn Kindergarten-Primary Club brings together each year a group of students interested in the Kinder- garten and primary grades. We keep in step with the progressive movements in this held through our many contacts with well known educators, not only at our meetings but at some of the conferences to which we send our delegates. Through these contacts our members also acquire a better understanding of the young child and his abilities. In addition to this, the club tries to instigate a realization of the important position of the Kindergarten and primary grades in relation to the whole school system. The members benefit by the social phase of the Kindergarten-Primary Club. We have an Initiation Party to welcome the new members and to acquaint them with the other club members. Various other parties are held throughout the year. The banquet, the gala affair of the year, brings our program to a close. Jean Roy, Secretary pro-tem r=-o 93 NEWMAN CLUB President Vice-President Treasurer Secretory William Skulley Doris Burred Eleanor Murphy Mary Kyte Newman Club is an organization of Catholic culture and Catholic fellowship. This year the diffi- culties of securing a meeting place and time were overcome, and a definite plan of the year ' s program was made. With these problems solved, regular meetings were held, some for business and some cultural. Mem- bership and attendance this year were greatly increased, and the co-operation of the members with the officers helped to make the club a success. The final and most important event of the year was the communion Breakfast. At this time the mem- bers received Communion in a body, and afterwards enjoyed breakfast and short lectures given by a group of interesting speakers. Mary Kyte, Secretary Page 94 DER DEUTSCHE VEREIN President Florence Kamandulis First Vice-President Lillian Warren Second Vice-President Genevieve Doherty Secretary Treasurer Librarian Directors Gertrude Twohig Phyllis Jacobson Carolyn Turner Louise Strange Patricia Lyons A better appreciation of German culture and tradition was the theme of the German Club ' s activities. Because no beginner ' s course in German was offered this year, students wishing to become familiar enough with the language to join the club were tutored by members who volunteered to give lessons. This unique plan proved very successful and several new members were admitted after attending the classes. The true spirit of German customs was captured at every meeting of Der Deutsche Verein. The Christ- mas party was the realization of the promised Surprise. Every detail of the traditions and customs of Deutschland was carried out even to the German games, Christmas carols, and German pastry. At the musical meeting members presented vocal and instrumental music of the great German com- posers. Group singing of the ever popular and beautiful German songs fulfilled one of the main objectives of the club: to create a feeling of Gemutlichkeit. Students advanced in the study of German as well as those who studied at the classes conducted by club members had an opportunity to use their conversational powers at the Game and Table Talk meeting. The climax of a successful year was the annual trip to German musums and to the Hofbrau. Gertrude Twohig, Secretary Page 95 WOMEN ' S GLEE CLUB and ORCHESTRA President Vice-President Secretary Esther Kelley ■ Merilyn Studley Ruth Small The Women ' s Glee Club started one of its most successful seasons this year by singing at the Plymouth County Teachers ' Convention at Brockton during the latter part of October. Immediately following this first performance, preparation was started for the fourth annual broadcast of Christmas carols over Station WEEI in Boston. The usual spring concert, given in the auditorium, succeeded by our second Bridgewater Night at the Pops, served to make this one of the busiest years the Glee Club has known. On March 8, the Orchestra presented its concert with Mischa Tulin as guest artist. Compositions of Strauss and Hayden by the Orchestra contributed to the tremendous success of this concert.

Among the many activities were: illustrated lectures, movies, lessons in developing films, exhibitions, a scavenger hunt, and, last and best, a beach party. Included as speakers on the subject of photography, were Mr. Huffington,- he gave an illustrated lec- ture on colored photography. An outside speaker, Mr. R. A. Waldeman, showed us the very popular movie among camera club fans, Lights and Shadows. Some of our more experienced members talked before the group on subjects such as, how to develop a film and the composition in a picture. Eleanor Murphy, Secretary Page 97 WOMEN ' S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION President Vice-President Mary McCann Secretary Treas Margaret McHugh Jean Whiting Winifred Taylor ¥ ■ Each year W.A.A. tries to outdo its own record. The highlights of the year are most indicative of this effort. This year, W.A.A. delved more into the social life of the college with a Dance recital and reception with Pauline Chellis. A new venture — it was well supported by a students, faculty, and townspeople. The annual Basketball Play-day with Salem was stretched a bit this year due to the blizzard. The main purposes of this play-day are social contacts and fun, and naturally there was more opportunity for these in an overnight stop. Many seniors cherish memories of four play-days with Salem, but this one was the best. Another new venture was the Tennis Play-day with Hyannis in the fall. Of course tennis is a warm weather game and it was freezing that day! We had supper in the Commuters ' Room and sang and played table games. The second annual Alumni Co-Recreational Sports Day was successful and established this event as a Bridgewater tradition. The regular sports program was well supported throughout the year. It was climaxed by the Spring Round-up and banquet which, as always, were the beginning of our good-byes to the seniors. Jean Whiting, Secretary Page 98 MEN ' S CLUB President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer George Harris Elwood Jenness Nicholas Megas John Skahill Boyden Men ' s Club is designed to permit all the men of the college to know each other better and to bring them together as a unit. Under the leadership of George Harris, a series of get-togethers was sponsored which was definitely successful as a means of creating better mutual understanding and friend- ship among the members of the club and between them and the members of the faculty. Smokers and en- tertainments were held, as well as a fine dramatic production, Hamlet. Opportunity was provided for hearing interesting speakers and for all members to display hidden talents which were received enthusi- astically. The annual Father and Son Banquet and entertainment in May brought the Club ' s program to an en- joyable conclusion.

We congratulate Miss Beal and Mr. Reynolds in their new positions and wish them every possible success. In the plates throughout the book we have endeavored to show the major interests and ac- tivities of both. The classes plate, designed by Alice and Agnes Richardson, tries in a small way to depict the many and varied activities carried on in Mr. Reynold ' s classes. In the S. C. A. illustration, designed by John Henry Fitzgerald, he conveys the idea of the many duties that Miss Beal despatched with amazing ease. The interests that occupied Mr. Reynolds ' few leisure moments are portrayed by the activities plate. A new addition to Alpha is our 1940 plate, designed by Lysbeth Lawrence, illustrating the many outside pleasures enjoyed by our new State Supervisor of Ele- mentary Education. May our efforts make your 1940 Alpha a more attractive book. Page 101 MISS RUTH E. DAVIS For several years Alpha has prospered under the advisorship of Miss Ruth E. Davis. We shall miss her counsel, and we are grateful for the wisdom of her guidance, her richness of personality and her intuitive sympathy. Page 102 ON FIRST USING OILS So much has escaped my brush! You see — there is afternoon sun on an old hill Turning the grass light and golden. The stonewall is a squirrel-highroad And a sunning spot for light, quick serpents Alert even to shadow movement. The hill is inhabited by innumerable rabbits. They enter with a scramble of hind-legs Through a briar-concealed hole. The birch trees — the old moon-glimmers — are light blue.. And the leaves are light, quick stars. These things have escaped my brush; One should say in an assured tone On seeing the picture — THERE ARE RABBITS IN THAT HILL! DR. ZENOS SCOn One of our most vivid memories is of the man who first made our class welcome at college. We are thankful that he was with us during one of our college years. An idealist and an ideal, he instilled in us love for our college and enthusiasm for our chosen profession. Page 103 THE BAD BOY He is a bad boy, one has been told. The class knows it, and he realizes That he has certain responsibilities In that direction. He laughs loudly — Hoo, hoo, hoo! Suddenly one notices That his eyes are friendly. Come here, sir, one says politely. Will you please Try to be good? He considers, but he won ' t answer. At his seat, he still considers. The rest of the day he is somewhat subdued. At the end, He stops before one. Hey, Teacher, Did I do good today? His eyes are timid, Pleading for approbation. Page 104 FIRE DRILLS Fire drill tonight — how these words echo from room to room on fire drill nights. It ' s supposed to be a secret, but somehow when the time rolls around, everyone knows. Oh, I wouldn ' t go so far as to say everyone, for there are those people like Barb Taylor and Spud Murphy who always manage to be in the bath tub when the alarm goes off. They sit there wondering if they should get out, or stay there and take the consequences. Finally their sense of duty makes them act. And then it ' s a mad dash for a towel and a house- coat. You slip on the soap and almost break your neck, and your feet when they ' re wet never fit into your slippers. You ' re ready for that final sprint down the hall. You dash out of the door, and much to your surprise you find the rest of them coming back. But that ' s not half as heartbreaking as it is to those who find themselves in bed, miles and miles away from earthly things. They wake with a start and think, another day is here, and much to their surprise they find it ' s not the alarm clock, but the fire bell. The kindly roommate thrusts her into a coat, and they follow the rest of the clattering feet down into the basement. Many a blank phrase has been uttered by more than one much becurlered co-ed on such a night. And then there are always those fastidious few who steal a few minutes from home lessons for shampooing hair. They join the throng downstairs looking like so many sultans dressed for a feast. But the problem is, the soap always finds its way into at least one eye, while they ' re on the way down, and the point of the fire drill is lost. Blinded by an excess of lather, you are not able to see if that cute freshman on third has naturally curly hair, or if she, like so many others, makes her fraud appearance in curlers. But to the fire captains goes a word of praise. Her ' s is an un- envied position. Up the hall she rushes like a mother hen looking for her lost chicks. She rounds up her squad only to find someone is missing. It never fails to happen, someone is always missing. And after much searching and much thought, comes the great decision. The missing one is out on a ten-fifteen. She makes her report only to find someone behind her left ear saying, I beat you down here. And something inside of her keeps saying Smile, fire captain, smile, and all the time her heart is saying — well it certainly doesn ' t keep silent. And so it goes every year. And despite the solemn resolutions, each fire drill finds someone in a similar predicament. But most of us in the dorm belong to that great sisterhood called The Wardrobe Hangers. We have one aim in college life, and we hope to realize that aim before we graduate. And our aim is, (just as the magician who removes the covering from the table without disturbing the dishes), to reach into the closet for a coat in our haste out the door, and not come back to find our wardrobe decorating our shoes on the floor. Page 106 OUR LOCKER ROOM «ssfcfi l££ Washington had his Mount Vernon, Rebecca had her Manderley, and Stephen Foster had his Old Kentucky Home, but despite the fame and magnificence of these edifices, they are nothing as compared to the structures in the basement of Boyden Hall which are the temporary homes of the day-hops. There, in a very small area, stands their city which embodies many of the municipality ' s necessities in 6 ' by 1 ' lockers. A locker may be small, but it ' s still home because home is where you hang your hat, and somewhere in the dim records of B. T. C. there ' s something that says lockers in the basement are designated as places for commuters ' hats and coats. In the course of years this idea has of necessity been out- lawed in the interests of more important things such as art kits, crackers, and tennis rackets, but Jhe idea of home remains. Lockers are queer places. They consist of a door, a shelf, and three hangers. The door is important because at least ten min- utes of every twelve spent at a locker are used in opening and clos- ing the combination lock on the door. Then agian, they are impor- tant for they are consistently in the way when one wends a peril- ous way through the narrow rowi with innumerable books in one ' s arms. The shelf of a locker is perhaps the most versatile object in Boyden Hall. It can be a medicine chest, a bookcase, a hat hanger, and a grocery store all at once, having any thing from frostbite cure to crackers. Do not let the impression be created that a commuter lives in Boyden Hall. This, of course, is erroneous for everyone spends a brief part of each day in a house. However, the average commuter will tell you what a very small part this plays in his existence, for his house is just a mere stop over between hurried trips by train, bus, car, and road-side felicitation to B. T. C. The only real spirit of living and resting is found in the locker room in Boyden Hall.
