WE REMEMBER: Training School and silk stockings; the liberal 2.30 per- mission after the junior dance; playing baseball at the picnic; Mardi gras, and now the campus looked on the beautiful breezy day that was graduation day for the class of 1948. Yes, it was time for graduation again and this year we marched in the daisy chain. As we marched many of us paused to remember that the next graduation would be ours. It seemed unbelievable but we were looking forward to next September when we would return to Bridgewater in the enviable position of seniors. September, 1948 At long last we were seniors! Although we were excited and joyful we were also a bit sad for this our last year at Bridgewater; the last year for gathering college memories. For the second time Jean Gillette became our class president and Marjorie Knight was elected vice-president for a second year. Marie McNeill served as secretary, and Jack Kelly was our treasurer. Now we were in the midst of hectic planning for graduation and its festivities. Class meetings, committee meetings, arguments, suggestions, and discussions were a result of this planning, but emerging from this chaos we feel there will be a memorable round of graduation activities. Memories for our senior year include : Arranging the new short hair cuts under a graduation cap; three courses with Dr. McMullen; interviews with superintendents; senior training period; the excellent coffee served by Miss Pope; and finally, our senior banquet and prom, which will be one of the most lasting of our senior memories. And as the most important graduation day — our graduation day draws near, many of us are looking forward to a new way of life, new horizons to be gained, but we will always be able to look back and we ' ll remember — Bridgewater! ■

We remember taking our turn at initiating the freshmen, struggling through sophomore geography and physical science, the Christmas banquet and party, carol singing in the rain, the National Grouping sophomore test that we took for long hours in the auditorium. Again it was the end of May with final exams and graduation swiftly ap- proaching. One graduation day as we stood with our oak boughs raised high in honor of the class of 1947 we remembered that this had been a wonderful year of memories for us at Bridgewater. September, 1947 We again returned to Bridgewater as upperclassmen. We felt certain that this was to be a well-remembered year. Our thoughts, and perhaps in many cases fears, were centered about Training School. This year we were to leave our studies to actually lead a class. At the end of our eight weeks training period we found that many of our fears had been ridiculous but there had also been problems that we had never thought of. As we left training school most of us felt that we had gained a valuable experience. We elected Jean Gillette as president of our class. Her capable assistants were Marjorie Knight, vice-president; Alice Holden, secretary; and Claire Danis, treasurer. The most important social event of the year for the junior class was the junior weekend which we held in the spring of 1948. Who will forget what fun we had at the midnight supper and dance; at the hot dog roast the next day; and at the barn dance with which we ended the weekend festivities? {19}
