She was born in Newburyport, Massachusetts. She met Baron Nils Posse on the steamer returning from a European- trip. After her marriage to the Baron she attended classestiat the Normal School of Gymnastics which he started. From this school she graduated a member of its very first graduating class. The Baron and Baroness worked together, she attending to the social duties and he to the scholastic curriculum of the institution. Five years later at the Baron's death, she assumed the whole work of the gymnasium assisted by some of the graduates of the school. At the end of the school year she returned to Sweden with the Baron's body. Her plans of the school were very much changed due to the chaotic state of affairs which she discovered on her return to the States. This was due to the disloyalty of former graduates who felt themselves capable of carrying on without the leadership of the Baroness. After strenuous work she re-collected the members of the old classes, received new pupils and re-opened the school in October with a very large number of students. The old teachers, who had re- mained faithful to her remained, and the vacancies were filled by others, largely old graduates. She also engaged a large corps of lecturers from neftirby colleges and institutions. The Baroness car- ried on the school from 1895 until she sold the Gymnasium to Mr. Hartvig Nissen in 1915. 'U Cl if 11937K ln lt is with great respect that we remember the many misfor- tunes she has successfully conquered. The first time was on her re- turn from Sweden, When she encountered much difliculty in getting in touch With former pupils and re-opening the school. The second came ten years later, when the entire school was destroyed by fire and it was necessary for her to rebuild in the location which we are now in. During her last years at the school she made it a corporation and became its President. Several years after the death of the Baron, the Baroness mar- ried Mr. William Strong of Boston, Massachusetts. A widow for the second time, Mrs. Strong now lives in a charm- ing apartment on Gramercy Park, New York. She still feels the same keen interest in all things pertaining to physical education for women, that made her one of the foremost authorities on this sub- ject While she was in active Work. - s i .

You have passed many obstacles but there are many more to overcome and many lessons still to be learned. ln the words of Dr. Crane, I say to you, learn to adjust yourselves to your situation. More people have suffered because they did not know how to adjust themselves than for any other reason. The happiest people are those who have the knack of adapting themselves to whatever happens. Begin with your relatives: one might easily conceive of a better set of aunts, uncles, cousins, and brothers, and so on, yet destiny gave us precisely the relatives we need. We may not want them but we need them. Likewise with one's friends, acquaintances and fellow workmen. Every man's life is a plan of God. Fate brings to us the very souls out of the unknown whom we ought to know. If we cannot get along with them and be happy and appreciative, we could not get along with another set of our own choosing. A person who is looking for the ideal human being to make up his circle of friends, might as well go and jump in the river. The God of things as they ought to be is a humbug. There isbut one God and He is the God of things as they are. Half of your problem is yourselfg the other half is circumstances. Your task is to bring results out of the combination of the two, Life is not a science to be learned but an art to be practiced. Ability comes by doing. Wisdom comes not from others: it is a secretion of experiences. Life is not like a problem in arithmetic to be solved by learning the rule: it is more like a puzzle of blocks, or wire rings: you just keep trying one way after another until finally you succeed. Maybe it was Josh Billings who said that in the game of life as in a game of cards, we love to play the cards dealt to us and the good player is not the one who always wins, but the one who plays a poor hand well. We are sorry to see you depart from under our guiding hand, but glad in the knowledge that you have the quality and the stamina that results in success. Your student days, the happiest of your life, are now over and this book will ever be a reminder to you of those associations you have made that will last throughout life. With the best of luck l wish you Godspeed, HARRY NISSEN. l19l P. N. NISSEN 62 HOLMES STREET, BRAINTREE, MASS. Swedish and German Gymnastics, Special Kinesiology, Athletics ELIZABETH T.

Oh yes, they were the ones who looked so lost that first school morning three years agodthe same class that wore babies' bonnets and mittens for initiation, Can you ever forget how ridiculous they looked? Yes, we are that same class. Perhaps we did look lost that first morning but did you ever see a Freshman class that didn't? At least, by the time we had shined scores of shoes, carried armfuls of books, and fed a sufficient number of jelly beans to our upper classmen, the newness had worn off and with it had gone that lost feeling. We look back on our first year with happy memories, hardly realizing it was such a short time ago. Certain things are recalled clearly-the chatter in the locker rooms, our first classes with Dr. Gray, the Freshman Hop: basketball gamesg our first gym meet: Mary Rose, moving up day. Then we said good- bye to the Seniors and to our classmates for the summer. The first September at camp will always be remembered by the '32's. How well we learned to know each other, our counselors and faculty. Remem- ber our classes with Tommy,l' the raids, certain hikes and the A'tippy canoes! Then came the time to initiate the new Freshmen. What revenge! But thenkwe were finally forgiven. Our Junior year was surely a busy one but we enjoyed it-even English Lit. and muscles! The high lights were the coming of f'Nurmi whom we glad-ly welcomed, the Junior Prom, more gym meets, and didn't the '32's shine! Camp again and how different with another class and several new faculty members. Remember the flood, jackstones and the overnight hikes-e-boom! September camp+how we Seniors hated to leave it but we took with us vivid memories that will never be forgotten. Then back to school. We missed many of our classmates, for somehow when roll was called, the class seemed only half present. However, we resolved to make up in quality whatever we lacked in quantity, Our time at Nissen is nearly over now. Although it is with pleasure that we look forward to graduation, knowing that we have accomplished some- thing, welalso feel that we cannot be all gladness and enthusiasm. Soon we must say good-bye to those who have been our close friends for three years. We must each go our own way, returning sometime, perhaps, to renew the old friendships that have meant so much to us. We leave with happy thoughts and a feeling of gratitude to those who have guided us through our school life. We appreciate the patience and help- fulness of our faculty and hope that we may be worthy of the time and effort they have given us. We sincerely hope that wherever we go, whatever we do, we shall not be forgotten, that the common ideals of our Alma Mater shall ever keep us a happy and united group. M165 Q65 SUAMME lDhq I Teach Because I would be young in soul and mind Though years must pass and age my life constrain, And I have found no way to lag behind And fleeting years, save by the magic chain That binds me, youthful, to the youth I love, I teach, Because I would be wise and wisdom find From millions gone before whose torch I pass, Still burning bright to light the paths that wind So steep and rugged, for each lad and lass Slowfclimbing to the unrevealed above, I teach. Because in passing on the living flame That ever brighter burns the ages through, I have done service that is worth the name. Can I but say the Ulilame of knowledge grew A little brighter in the hands I taught, I teach. Because I know that when life's end I reach And thence pass through the gate so wide and deep. To what I do not know, save what men TEACH, That the remembrance of me men will keep ls what I've done: and what I have is naught, l teach. L. B. W.

Vwfhat a forlorn, lost feeling we Special Meds. had the first few days at schoolf While the upper classmen were jumping around in great glee, greeting old friends and pals, we stood by, wondering if we would ever really feel at home. It wasn't long, however, before we became acquainted with the different members of our own class and what a jolly bunch they turned out to bel We hadn't been at school very long before we were sent to the City Hos- pital to work on the poor patients there. And they were to be pitied, tool The work proved to be very interesting, however, and to date no casualties have been reported as the result of our manipulations, strange as it may seem. About a month after school started, we had a new addition to our class- a manf Poor fellow, he certainly looked harrassed at first with all the girls around him but he proved to be a good sport and became so much a part of our class that it soon didn't seem complete without him. Besides the City Hospital, we were also sent to the Carney Cwhere we had a hectic time learning how to mix plaster of paris and strap up feetj, and to the Crippled Children's School. When we had served our time at all those places we really began to feel as if we did know something. How we did cram for mid-year examsl And after those were over, we had the pleasure of tackling muscles. Never, as long as we live, will we ever forget Dr. Ciray's classes, especially muscles! The year spent at Posse-Nissen has gone very fast and we know that as the years go by we will more than ever appreciate all that we have learned, as well as the good times we have had here. lg FI l61l 1 ,, RUTH BARRON 38 TREMONT STREET, Ginger Here is the girl who gave up nursing to join the Special Meds. and We have all en' joyed having her with us luck in the future, Ruth.

It was not long before we settled down and elected Class Officers who were, Helen LaCrosse, President: Barbara Davis, Vice-President: Peggy Bradley, Secretary: and Wilma Toppan, Treasurer. Now we were whirled into a frenzy to make our very own dance go off with a bang-and it did. So far as sports were concerned, we weren't as green as expected. Let's just skip over exams 'cause the less said, the better. Moving up day certainly made an impression on all of us. We dreaded losing the friends in the Senior Class, yet we were thrilled to become Juniors. Camp-quite a new experience for most of us: yet here, too, the Juniors proved their worth: Gas House getting Inspection for both months while Power House was able to get the Sing Cup although Doggie House received quite a few Honorable Mentions. One year completed-how fast it has gone by. School again and anticipation of initiating the Freshmen. We certainly did, too. We came out on top in lnterclass Basketball, but we lost, by a very few points, to the Freshmen in the Swimming Meet. The Juniors took over the Po-Ni with Isabel Jackson as Editor, The new school drive was uppermost in our minds so we gave a play and dance to help us do our bit. We all enjoyed ourselves and it certainly was a success. Compulsory exams this year certainly put quite a few wrinkles in our brows but we managed to survive. Ah, me, that airplane has long since passed by. We all waved to it for good luck which we pass on to the Seniors with all good wishes for every success after graduation, P A-'71 S Q 1 fu J 3 af! fa ' ai . X ? Xa' ' ,,:: Q S E4 g- , - .

Vv'e immediately liked our Senior mothers who proved very helpful in showing us the ways of the school. They certainly proved to be real friends. Dorothy Mason, Ruth Williams and Lillian Lynch were chosen to lead our class until the latter part of November when our real officers were elected. During the second week of school we were initiated and the Juniors cer- tainly knew how to initiate us. By the end of initiating week we were a very subdued group of Freshies. Our Hrst accomplishment was the Halloween dance held October 31, 1931. which proved to be successful. Then basketball loomed upon the horizon, In the interclass basketball tournament we came out second. Swimming was our greatest achievement as we won the interclass meet. The weeks of our Freshman year have whirled by with unbelieveable speed, Hlled to the brim with hard work and play. Now that the year is nearly to an end, we wish to thank our faculty and upperclassmen for their many kindnesses and to wish the Seniors all success and happiness.

I should answer, I should tell you, From the legend of Hiawatha, He who dearly loved the camp fire In the days now long forgotten. Ye who love the haunts of nature, Love the sunlight of the meadow, Love the shadow of the forest, Love the splendor of the mountains, And the rushing of the water, Listen to what I shall tell you Of the camp called Posse-Nissen. Of the camp called Posse-Nissen, By the waters of the Peace Lake, By the ever winding trout creek. With its lilting, laughing water. There our tribe, for three moons, gladly Lived and laughed and worked together Lessons of the field and forest, Of the flowers of the meadow, Of the song-birds in the tree-tops, Of the ever flitting insects. Learned we, too, of skill and prowess, Skill in games and in athletics, On the land and in the water, Taught us by our camp directors And our ever helpful teachers, Here arrived, one day in autumn, In the year of l930, Many stalwart Nissen maidens, We, who have become the seniors, Here we lived in four strong cabins Built of wood from nearby forests, P . 3965 SUM ' Hard we worked and strove together. Learned to know each other better. Laughed at pranks played by our sisters, By our kind and thoughtful sisters. Some of us were lawless maidens. Would not do as we were counseled, Caused great noise to come unhindered, From our cabin after hours. Then Chief Nissen, coming hither. Spake to us with voice of censure, Warned us but we never heeded, How repentant were we maidens When, while others gladly rested, Toiled the guilty in the noon day, As about the camp we labored. Strange it was that ever, always, When the sun rose in the heavens. Rose above the eastern pine trees. All we little Nissen maidens Slumbered soundly in our cabins, Most reluctant as to waking. But when night came down upon us. Came with darkness down upon us, Then it was we sprightly maidens Wanted more of fun and frolic. Then Chief Nissen coming hither, Coming with a light that flasheth. Cast its gleaming ray upon us, Bright and beaming ray upon us. Quieting such boisterous maidens. When the Hunter's Moon was waning, When its end was drawing nearer. All of the great tribe of Nissen, Packed our goods and wended homeward. Happy with the thought that later. With the coming of the Segwun, Back would come the happy seniors. Joyful that we were returning. Springtime came to Posse-Nissen. And the Rose Moon downward shining, Saw the seniors coming hither. Bringing with them younger sisters. W-El P Cl Q65 SUM Then it was we happy maidens, Did enjoy great fun and frolic, Teaching to these newer sisters, All that we had learned of camp lore. But alas! misfortune met us: Gitche Manito, the Mighty, Caused great rain to come upon us, Come with torrents down upon us, Flooding all the fields and bridges. But we dauntless Nissen maidens, Gallantly did show our courage, Braved the weather, not complaining, Did our work with great decision, Played our games as was our custom, Went long journeys from our campland Cooked our meals on fires we kindled, Made our beds beneath the pine trees, Rested then until the morning When we rose up bright and early, All desirous to be warmer. Turned we then our weary footsteps, Homeward to our sturdy cabins. Faded soon the Moon of Roses, Bringing to a close our camptimc, But before the Red Moon setteth, Back again we quickly hastened. Worked we there with greatest fervor, Strove we hard in competition, Learning much in lore of woodland, Gaining much in strength and vigor. All too soon our camp life ended: Ended was our forest freedom: Gone our days of outdoor living, With the friendship of our sisters. One great feast we all attended: One last council all together Ere we turned our faces homeward. Sad were we as then we parted, Parted from Camp Posse-Nissen. From our much loved Posse-Nissen. ll061 Q65 SUM Should you ask me what the seniors. What we maids of Posse-Nissen, Will remember of our camp life, That we spent in field and forest, I should answer, I should tell you, We shall think of all our classes, Of our sports and our athletics, Of the noisy, friendly chatter, Of the songs sung in the evening, Songs of fun, and songs of fancy, Of the murmur of the pine trees, With the wind among the branches, Of the quiet walks together, Through the damp and dusk of evening. Oft at twilight we would paddle With some friendly Nissen maiden, Up the creek, that led to westward, Ever winding, winding, onward, There in some still nook we idled, Gazing at the Hery sunset, At the glory of the sunset, As the evening sun descending. Set the clouds on Hre with splendor, There we then would sit and ponder Of the beauties of all nature, Of the added wealth of wisdom That we gained at Posse-Nissen. Honor be to Posse-Nissen! To her leaders and directors! As into the world we venture, As we onward turn our footsteps, May we often pause and render Tribute due to Posse-Nissen.
