This fleet was headed for a far distant land called the Land of Graduation, to us an unknown sea.. There were two isles to be thoroughly explored before reaching this promised land-Junior and Senior or the Land of the Owls. XVc had on board recruits from several minor isles as Naugatuck, South Norwalk, Bridgeport, Stamford, New Haven, Ansonia, and other parts. There were 35 voyagers called Juniors and Seniors, each firmly resolved to succeed or go down with the ship. The first port we reached was Junior Isle. Here we inet Miss Mary who we learned was to act as our iilot. alias sn erintendent during our long and . ' . 7 Pi , perllous voyage to the isles. Many of us were so enchanted by the charms in and about Junior Isle that we were loath to depart and even took no heed of the fleet when it finally sailed away. So those so enchanted had to be left behind to be picked up by some other fleet at the cost of arriving at the Promised Land, a year later. NVe thought it- expedient to appoint officers to take charge of the affairs of our great expedition. 'We elected Jeanne Pierce. President, Mabel XValsh, Vice-President., Flavian Brennan, Seeretaryg and Marion VVeed, Treasurer. They performed their duties with the utmost fidelity. Upon Junior Isle we inet with a strange people called Seniors who had wan- dered from their homes and we were looked upon as objects of great curiosity by these aliens. Our first social event was the annual reunion of the Seniors and Juniors with the alumni as invited guests. This aff'a.ir proved to be a huge success. NVQ told wise teachers of the island all about the things we had learned in the Sea of Knowledge and these said wise Teachers took it. upon themselves to teach us the mysteries of History of Education, Mother Play, Gifts and other as yet unknown subjects. I might say, we found ourselves to be the brightest Juniors C. F. N. ever saw. and to prove this, our pilot, Miss Mary, gave the Juniors and Seniors a Heart Party in February. Y Easter vacation separated us for a week but we all longed to get back at work again. The Seniors, a good sort of folk, gave a Prom at Black Rock County Plub and invited the Juniors as Honorary members. The dancing and refreshments were enjoyed by all present, though many of the Juniors who were not brave enough to stand the buffets received at the will of the older and more experienced Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Castles, were content to be onlookers. After this enjoyable year we took our departure for the next port. The Isle of Owls. As we nea1'ed this port we felt our heads begin to swell and thought ourselves very wise, in fact much wiser than those who were Seniors before. Everything now was quite different from Junior Isle. Part of our food was changed, we now had Education of Man instead of History of Education, Ad- vanced Gifts beside many other re-arrangements of the menug though most of our number relished the change, a few were heard to lament for the more easily digested fare of Junior Isle. Co-nncciiczct Froebcl Normal 7 Here as Seniors we doubled our number of recruits. Now for these un- fortunate people to carry our long earned name we had to initiate them. Seine had to scrub the deck with their noses by pushing peanuts across it, others had to eat onions, give demonstrations of a scrambled egg in order to ser-ure a good cook, but what we were most interested about was who was going to be our star folk dancer. Therefore we had several exhibition dances. Everyone had a lovely time and dancing followed. The annual reception of the Seniors was given late in October which proved to be a big affair. Here we as Seniors, elected officers: President, Flavian Brennang Secretary, 1Iil1'1011 Kingg Treasurer, Marion VVeed. Here again we gave another feast and dance at the Tea Roomg who doesn't remember this? Later in the year we found among our new recruits such wonderful cooks that we decided to give a cake sale. The treasurer reported a wonderful rise in the treasury as a result of it. Time began to fall heavy on our erew's hands so we decided to publish a book for them to read. NVe elected Elsie Flark Editor-in-ffhiefg Business Manager, Flavian Brennan: Art Editor, Elsie Fflark. Before reaching the Promised Land we gave a Prom. The Juniors reported it- was the finest and biggest affair they had ever attended. As our boat was nea.ringAThe Promised Land, Graduation, we found a great concourse of people assembled to watch us take our last step. And now the two years have passed Rllld we have had many experiences dur- ing our voyage of which the enjoyable ones far outweigh the important ones. As the Seniors scan the horizon from the stepingstone of Graduation they see many conquests to be made, a11d they believe that in the future as in the past, they will show themselves ready for any test that may be put before them. .NU .L li, 705' 30- - I K - at iota arg..

A Tr is-A -N E.F.Ci m' X' HE Class of 1922, though far from contemplating an immediate entrance I into Elysian fields, realizes the necessity of publishing its last will and testament. One of the greatest and most cherished epoehs of our lives must soon end. The scholastic fortune we wish to distribute among those whose influence, friend- ship and kindness have made our school-life ideal. hVc trust that those whom we have singled out as objects of our benefieenee will profit by the gifts bestowed and remember cheerfully, if not tcarfully, those who have gone beyond. To 1923 we leave the happy faculty and geniality and comradeship which has characterized '22 from the start. Ruth Drew leaves to May Reilly, her endless stream of mail from New Haven which threatened to disrupt the Bridgeport Postal Service during the past year. Helen Smith presents to Mary Ford her frequent, nay, habitual permissions, feeling assured that Mary will know how to utilize them to advantage. Lillian 0,Leary bequeaths to Irene Blakeman her lofty height with all the advantages that the same entails. Flavian Brennan leaves to Helen Harding the qualities which constitute womanly perfection. Olive Page leaves to Edith Saxe her frequent week-ends which are guaran- teed to relieve somewhat the routine of school-life. Marion 'Weed leaves her genius for writing poetry to Mary Kelly, including an abundance of inspirations proper to all occasions. . 14 Your Book Virginia Arnold leaves to Mary Ford a suggestion as to the best manner of becoming an idea.l correspondent while in school. Virginia would advise the utilization of class periods exclusively for writing letters. Elizabeth Coughlin leaves to Dorothy Lowe her chair in the Psychology Class with the earnest hope that she may never have to occupy it.. Kathleen Ryan leaves her fondness for silence and for finding pleasure in her own thoughts to Mildred Gabbett in order that these two virtues may still live on in C. F. N. ' Lillian Drew confers on Virginia Arnold the hund1'ed things which she never had time to do, urging Virginia to start now so that she may accomplish them by 1924. Josephine Maher bestows on Jeannette Leech her regular attendance at Folf Dancing, and her stirring rendition of Scottish airs. Ruth Young bequeaths to Marion Barreuther a scholastic schedule which may seein a little burdensome at first but will entail no qualms of conscience when school is abandoned. Marion King gives to Mildred Borel her splendid school spirit and talent for putting over everything she undertakes in the most. effective manner. To C. F. N. we leave our profound gratitude for the uniform kindness and generosity evidenced towards us, together with the assurance that the coming years will find us faithful to the principles and ideals ineuleated here. -Elsie E. Clark. Connecticut Froebcl Nor-mal CLASS POEM The day will soon be close at hand, When we shall say farewell To teachers and classmates at C. F. N. Whom we 'have learned to love so well. To Miss Mary and Miss lnez, Our grateful thanks are dne. For the untiring efforts they put forth Vlfith the class of 1922. Not forgetting Mr. Dakin, , Miss Coggswell and Miss Clark, Their patience was nnshaken. XVhen some knowledge they did impart. Flavian Brennan, our president, lVas a maiden, sweetly grave, And with manners becoming a lady, With dignity always did behave. Marion King, our secretary, At story-telling was noted, And in ,preparing her lessons, A genius by allwas voted. Marion VVeed, our treasurer, Has made for herself a name, ln studying the Education of Man And disclosing her ideas on same. .-X very quiet person was Lillian O'Leary, Who at studying never grew weary, Wlho no dou'lJt, thoroughly ellclcient will be, When in some school room reigns she. Helen Smith, I'm sure you'll agree, Vilas a very talkative maiden. Who, each day, traveled carefree On the train back and forth from New Haven. Olive Paige was a maiden small, A bobbed-haired miss with a smile for all. Her Mot-her-Plays were works of art, Written with true feeling from the depths of her heart Josephine Maher had little to say, But traveled about in her own calm way. Her voice was gentle, soft and low, Her manner, gracious, is this not so? Your Book Now Elsie Clark had talent in art, But about her folk-dancing, there is little to say. Although Miss Coggswell did all on her part To impress upon Elsie, -how gracefully she danced in her younger days Ruth Drew, was out for fun, Even tho her lessons, she had not done. lVe are told she charmed the masculine sex, Now we wonder, who'll be her next? Lillian Drew, in manner was charming, :Xltho her interest in school was never alarming. She, like her sister, a good time did enjoy, Especially, if in the party, there were some darling boys. Kathleen Ryan was a maiden mild, About the quietest in our class. On all her studies she spent much toil, But i11 music was not surpassed. Ruth Young is the last to be mentioned, Last, but not least we can say, For she bothered no one and did her work, ln her own individual way. XVhatever our destiny in life may be, May we with pleasant memories recall, Our days spent at C. F. N. to he The happiest days of all. -Elizabeth M. Couighliin.

THE PIG ON HOUSE N N every child, the yearning for knowledge of the life of nature awakens Aj early, and you, Mother, should cherish this longing and give him that for which he craves-an intimacy with nature. Teach him those things that belong to his age and give him to understand the soul of life and nature. He wants to find the plain and abiding truth, to discover the profound unity lying deeply beneath the personal or partieularg to recognize the pure truths that are behind the fleeting and unstable passing details, and you, Mother dear, should be the means through which he learns these true things of life and nature so that he will grow up in a pure and holy state of mind, venerating and respecting the life that God has given us and the forms and usages in and to which that life is put. ' In giving him the lessons of life at the right time, Mother, you foster the strong, clear inclinations of soul and upraise the spiritual sense of God's deep unwavering fitness and the straight continuity of all things through life and death. These things must be given him in the right way though, dear, and at the right timeg for if they are given in a wrong manner, the mind does not take hold and carry them uprightly and true and untarnishedg and if they are given either too early or too late, the child is not ready to fully comprehend and therefore t.hese truths given him are but weak, deformed thoughts, or he has already formed his own ideas, and yours, given him, will become coarsened in their reception, lacking the free expausiveness of the purely spiritual type. 18 Year Book There are stages in the life of your child that need especially careful super- vision and watching on your part, and knowledge on the part of your child. Know, Mother dear, that these stages are all intertwined and connecting and each bears upon the other so that the continuity of life and nature is never broken nor disturbed. The earthly destiny of man is to make his own life a, whole, and to understand the wholeness of all life. This explains the unity of the life God has given to the world and the sense of duty for all to retain. Have you noticed, Mother, the careful and select placing of all things out of doors? Everything that God has placed is in perfect order, everything where it should be and nothing to mar it, unless thru some misdeed of man's. So too, must our homes be-in perfect orderg and we should go thru life striving with all that is in us, to make ours and those with whom we come in contact, a more perfect, pure, untainted life of peaceful happiness with God and man,- to fill our place in this great world,--to find that place where G-od meant us to be, and to do our best in fulfilling the duties and work which he has destined for us. -Flavimzi E.

The truth is, t.his worried feeling did not last very lo11g. I felt confident that some good fairy would appear before the ap- pointed timc, and with this end in view I dismissed it entirely from my mind. Somehow time has a way of flying when one does not want it to. Finally I awoke to the fact that there were but a few days left. for me to write my prophecy. Naturally I wanted to begin, but try as hard as I could-Nothing came to my rescue. Hours and hours of weary thinking, still no inspiration. Telephone call-Automobile ride. Once more the prophecy was laid aside. I 'was on my way to New Haven and in passing Avon Park, there was a band of gypsies camping. Out of the nowhere into the everywhere a gypsy seemed to spring up before me. Lady, let me tell your fortune or gaze into the crystal and know your future. My Prophecy -I told the gypsy about it, she said she also had the power of transmitting spirits and could place me wherever I wanted to go. I was to concentrate my thoughts on Bridgeport and the Class of 1922 . Before I knew it I was on Main Street. Looking around, my eyes fell upon a big glaring sign in red letters. Go-ing Out of Business Bairgaiozs in everything from pins to brlihilng suits Step inside Ladies. Look . Pins reduced to 10c a package, you can 't get stuck. Ladies' bathing suits-cut to almost nothing, Then take the bargains home with you. I stepped inside to look around and to my utter surprise, who was in charge but Marion Kingg she was so busy in passing out the bargains that she did not- have time to ta.lk to me. I promised to come back later to see her. I left the store and was walking down Main Street, who should I meet but Ruth Young dolled up like a circus horse in the latest fashion. During our conversation she told me she had been ma.rried three times and in July she would celebrate the fourth. I always knew Ruth had taking ways with the boys. She also told me -Miss Mary and Miss Inez had started i11 1930 on a tour of the world, in their little fiiver and would be gone from three to five years. They are always anxious to receive reports of the progress of their former pupils, carrying on a real postal exchange with them. After leaving Ruth I decided to go to the theatre and to my surprise I discovered Elsie Clark and Lilyan Drew as the star headliners. Elsie tripped the light fantastic which was always her favorite stunt, while Lilyan played on the piano and sang some of the old time nursery rhymes, such as, Jack and Jill , Sing a song of six pence , etc. On leaving the t.heatre I decided to walk down Main Street and see the changes that time had wrought. 20 Year Book Glancing out State Street I noticed that something was happening, there was a. large crowd of people in the middle of the street. Not wishing to miss a trick, I followed the crowd. When the police had pushed the people back to the curb, I saw the cause of the excitement. Perched upon a soap box was Flavian Brennan, dressed in male attire, making all sorts of motions and shouting, HThis is the age for women, Down with the men. IVC women want our rights. Can you imagine our dainty Flavian in such a position? Near Broad Street I happened to see Olive Paige standing in a doorway. I received a cordial welcome from her, a sign attracted my attention. Paige 's Matrimonial Bureau. Olive brought me into her private office. I just had to stand still and look around, the walls were covered with drawings a11d pictures of her past beauxg she seemed to quite enjoy this workg to her it was much more interesting than teaching, she only tried this as an experiment and wanted to be sure that she had the right one before settling down for good and keeps to a partner for life. I asked her if she knew what became of Helen Smith. Whj', she has opened a loan office just around the corner on State Streetg she decided to try lending instead of borrowing. I-Ielen soon found out lending was a virtue, while borrow- ing was ai habit. You remember Marion VVeed, she has become a lady of leisure, has a different colored car for each and every day of the week, she made a great deal of her money dabbling in stocks and bonds and real estate in Stepncy. She linally retired to leave the teaching field open to future graduates. I left Olive because I was to meet Elizabeth Coughlin at the Stratticld Hotel at three o'clock. On my way to the hotel I purchased a newspaper. NVhile waiting for Elizabeth, I looked through the news of the day and found that Ruth Drew was the chief advertiser in the P2l.p01'. k IVanted, A Husband. ' was the beginning of her Had , followed by several columns of what he should and should not be. He should also wear knickers, jazz oxfords and a long raecoon coat, regardless of season or.how he got it: no objections to this dream man smoking cigarettes continually. In my estimation such an individual never existed. I was told that this adn had ,appeared continually for several years. It brought not a single reply or proposal. On the page opposite in big black letters I read- Mothers, Give Your Children A Chance Piano and Vocal Lessons by the Famous Mlle. Kathleen Ryan S56 Per Hour. Special attention given to small children. This conspicuous ad proved that Kathleen made good use of her talent. COTL'Il6Cf'iC'1lf Froebel Normal 21 Just as I finished reading this I saw fair Elizabeth standing in front of me. Quite a dignified school teacher. She was head of a fashionable school for girls and brought me out to see it. Going through the school I noticed signs posted in different places. None but f'. F. N. graduates can hold posit.ions here. I asked the reason for such signs, she said as long as she was a graduate, she should be loyal, she also knew the value of such training. While talking to her I happened to think I had not seen nor heard of Josephine Maher. Elizabeth said she had gone into the wholesale drug business. Her patent medicines were g'uaranteed to either kill or cure, but her real specialty was a. Healing Balm which she positively guaranteed to heal all cuts, except love euts. She had made quite a fortune in this enterprise. I suddenly realized that my spell was broken. Gladly I returned from a. visit to the Land of The Future, whose inhabitants were C. F. N. graduates of 1922. --Lillian 0'Leury. 22 Year Book Most Popular ..... . Biggest Optimist .... Czitest ............ Cleverest .. Noixiest' . . . Qufietest ..... Best Dancer . . .
