H. 15 1927 YE.-Xll BOOK 1927 ART APPRECIATION One ot' the first statements we hear quoted in our art appreciation walks and talks is the following: Fine Art is the free and adequate embodiment of the idea in a form peculiarly appropriate to the idea itself. -Hegel. Some of us hardly grasp the full meaning at first, but shortly, the truth of the words dawns upon us. We see the expression of many ideas, but they are not always adequate nor in a form peculiarly appropriate. The quotation. then, becomes a means which enables us to appreciate and judge our own school building as well as others near at hand. On our Iirst walk we discussed the purpose for which buildings are designed and built. A home, a school, a church and public buildings, each has a purpose. The general aspect of a structure should denote its purpose. It should also be a thing of beauty, and Simplicity is Beauty. On the whole, we found many houses and public buildings greatly overdecorated. We had other Walks and looked for various historic details in the buildings. As one detail We noticed brackets. Their primary purpose was for support, for example-in the Greek, Roman, and Gothic periods-and this purpose was also a manifestation of beauty, but in the process of architectural development they are used quite as much for decorative effect and often not even giving a hint of their original purpose. D We also found the rosette, which probably originated in Egypt having been designed from the lotus Howerg also the shell of Greek and Roman origin. Both are used today for decorative purposes, and often with types of an entirely dif- ferent origin, and lacking fitness. The little Gothic church, near our school building, made a very interesting study. We learned that from the earliest Gothic times, art had had religious and symbolic significance, developing, doubtless, from the early Christian art. Later under Constantine, the natural elements could be drawn but must have religious meaning. In this building we found many little details which had some special religious interpretation. With the idea of the Trinity, we found many of the designs constructed in three parts. The idea of three was also brought out in the' designs of the window and doors. The rooster as a weather vane is an old religious symbol of watchfulness. Christ said to Peter, Before the cock crows twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. U The development of the steeple is also of Gothic origin. Its purpose in early days was to mark the place of worship. Later it became an architectural part of the building itself. The buttress, originally used as a necessary support for the Wall, is now frequently purely decorative. Through interesting stories of the origin of many of these historic details and through our special study, we have learned to appreciate the beauty and charm they lend to architecture. We have also observed other beautiful buildings and find their origin and history a fascinating subject for 'investigation and study. The culmination of our art trips, however, was an eagerly-anticipated visit 16' 1927 SALEM NORMAL SCHOOL BIUZ7 to Mr. Whitney's home. After driving along a quiet country road, wc soon stopped before a rustic stone gateway. By following a narrow flagged path as it curyecl up a gentle slope, we reached a delightful little brown bungalow nestled among the pines and birches. Our first impression was one of hospitality which Mr. Whit- ney's home radiates as you approach it. The sun porch is a unique architectural device which makes a visitor feel as though he were really among the slender, white birches that nod at the windows. Here we enjoyed our luncheon. Over a blazing log fire in the fire-place, we brewed our own tea from an old-fashioned tea kettle. After lunch we visited the dining room with its warm tones of yellow and brown. By sitting at a small table near the long, narrow windows that line one side of the room, one may watch the birds as they, too, enjoy their breakfast or as they flit about from tree to tree. The living-room gave an immediate sense of charm, hospitality, and comfort. Here, as throughout the rest of the house, we found the actual application of art to present day needs. In what more appropriate surroundings than the home of an artist, could we discuss the principles of interior furnishings and decoration that we studied in class? Beautiful harmony in the rooms was evident in the blending of the tones of red and green, the base of the color scheme, a complimen- tary harmony. They blended into the warm, rich oriental rugs, the delicate hang- ings, the deep cushions, and the neutral lamp shades which aided in producing an effect of restfulness. Our art excursions have brought to us a keener realization of the fact that by expressing our ideas in a simple and adequate manner we shall achieve the elements which make up fine art. The fruits of our study in art were revealed in The Spirit of the Spectrum, a production written and dramatized by the Junior High Seniors. Sitting at her desk was a tired, discouraged teacher bemoaning her gray, color- less life. Behind her was a background in the form of an immense fan of the same gray tone as the teacher's robe. Suddenly there appeared dressed in red a mes- senger who bore a heart, an offering of love. She was followed by a figure in orange who upheld a lighted lamp, the symbol of knowledge. Then came yellow with her golden star, the light of inspiration and heavenly wisdom. With a budding spray to typify growth and new life, green took her place followed by the blue arch of heaven, emblem of truth, dependability, and honesty. And last, to complete the rainbow, violet appeared with her cross of self-sacrifice and service. As each messenger offered her gift to the teacher a ray of color crossed the gray arch. First red, then orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet,-the entire spectrum had now appeared. At this point as the teacher arose, her gray robe dropped from her shoulders and she appeared in white, the center of the arch. Then the white rays, the key to the whole arch, formed the center of the background. So we carry with us in our teaching life the spectrum and all it signifies. 17 1927 YEAR BOOK 192' SCHOOL SONGS ORANGE tTune: Land where thy bannersni Dear Salem Normal, thy light ever glows, Bright is thy color, our aims to disclose.

Each person repre- sents that power in his own way. When human beings become creative in a great, artistic sense what they really do is to re-create. All great teachers, seers, and sages have used, consciously or unconsciously, the power of re-creation. To be trained to consciously use the power of re-creation is to be educated. Simple ways of cultivating the creative faculty must be adopted, for no matter how apparently dull or inert a child may be, it is possible to awaken in him the divine spark of creative power. As a result of this discovery, teaching is now undergoing momentous changes. We are turning from the mechanical to the creative, from the logical to the psychological. The teacher of today, the pro- duct of our professional schools, is struggling to accomplish this reversal. Work which releases the creative energies of the child furnishes its own discipline. Sometimes those interested in progressive education are fearful of too much freedom. It is true that there is no military order in experimental edu- cation. The difference between old-time attention enforced by nagging, and the voluntary attention given by the children who are taught creatively, however, is the difference between external discipline and self-discipline. The greatest lesson a pupil can learn is self-discipline. A full life, with health, peace of mind, success, and happy human relations, this is what education should bring the pupils of today. For making lessons joyous and for sustaining interest, creative work never fails. New possibilities will constantly arise for the teacher, as they do for the children, because education, like life, is always in the makingg it is never completed. Creative work is not a method nor a system. It is, rather, a common sense philosophy which attaches great importance to teaching, the kind of teaching which develops the character of pupils. Modern education, then, in its truest sense is growth. 20 1927 SALEM NORMAL SCHOOL 1927 For successful results in creative work, the teacher must keep constantly before her the vision of the objectiveg self discipline, a sense of responsibility and cooperation, together with the skills and the habits which are necessary in the social and business life of today. Granted that every child has possibilities for creating, the teacher is the medium in calling forth the creative power in him. Perhaps a better word than teacher would be guide, one who leads the children on a journey of exploration, with hints here and suggestions there that enable them to make their own discov- eries. She must, moreover, guide the children slowly, continuously, untiringly, and psychologically. Her one desire should be that under her leadership the power grows, expands, and flourishes. The teacher herself must meet definite requirements. Before she can teach self-discipline, she herself must have acquired it. Her versatility and adaptability enable her to work successfully with individual types and varying mental ages. Because there can be no advancement creatively without the gift of imagination, it acts as a stimulant and together with sincerity helps to present the subject matter in an interesting and compelling manner. Where the teacher's vision enables her to feel that there is actually the power of creative expression in each of her pupils, she will direct her energies, her knowl- edge, and her skills, to call forth the creative power. The richer her own back- ground, the more sources of varying contacts the teacher possessesg the deeper her insight into a child's probable reaction to various stimuli, the more skillful her approach, the more interesting her lesson, and the more satisfying her results. It is the teacher's duty not alone to teach but equally to learn: to keep per- petually a light upon the altars of knowledge, kindling them from the flame that burns in every young heart. The teacher who is true to her trust is the guardian of the hopes of the new generation. The Salem Normal Co-operative Association which was organized and pro- moted last year through the efforts of certain members of the Faculty and Student Body has this year been carrying on the good work which was started by the organizers. A great deal has been accomplished by the Co-operative Council this year. However, it would not have been possible had it not been for the wonderful co-operation of the entire student body. The Social Committee has been very successful in their work. At present they are working on a code of ethics which will be of great value to every member of the school. A large amount of credit is due the members of the Chapel Committee who have worked so hardpreparing interesting programs for Chapel exercises. , 5:1 1927 YEAR BOOK 1927 The General Welfare Committee has succeeded very well in their line of work and the Council is extremely satisfied with the results they have been able to obtain. A campaign for new school songs was held under the direction of the Council and three new songs have been added to the list of Salem Normal songs. There are at present two committees hard at work investigating the possi- bilities of having a school publication and the adoption of a standard ring and pin. A great deal of good work has been accomplished by the Co-operative Associa- tion although it has been organized but two years. The success of the Association is due to the spirit of co-operation which exists at Salem Normal both among the Faculty and the Student Body. At this time the Council Members of the Class of 1927 wish to extend to the undergraduates their best wishes for the future success of the Salem Normal Co- operative Association. The faculty and student body of Salem Normal School takes this means of publicly thanking Mr. Charles Frederick Whitney for his interest and cooperation. The colored frontispiece is a reproduction of a Water color which Mr. Whitney made for our Year Book. i Special acknowledgment is also due Lena Callahan, undergraduate, for her work in collaboration with our Art Editor. 79 192.7 SALEM NORMAL SCHOOL 1927 XXXX ,1 I V' c 1 ,Ml ' R 3 W!

We have a brief respite! Let us take the Living Bo-ok of the Past out under the trees and Read. ' D D Look! See-coming up the walk-just crowds of boys and girls. See those eager, seeking, fearful faces. They are Freshmen. Why, it seems like yesterday -but it is September 12, 1923! They are going into the building. They are Warn- dering around carrying their outer garments, or dubiously placing them in some locker. They have gone to Assembly and are directed to different class rooms. The Freshmen are divided. Forty-five of them 'have expressed the desire to stay ,four years to study Commercial work. Nobody seems to care for them. Learned instruc- tors assign work, and more workg so those forty-five band together for better or worse. -Let us turn the page- r D D Ah, their faces are brightening! They have been invited to a Hal1owe'en party by the Seniors. But what makes them look so suddenly afraid? They have been told to appear in washable gingham dresses and Wear their hair down their Somebody whispers, Initiation! Down they go to the Gymnasium that Friday evening. They are pushed into the tunnel. They come tumbling out with mixed expressions of fear and laughter. See them push pennies across the floor with noses! See them stand in line and eat dry shredded wheat! See them do Silents! Ah, they draw up chairs and sit. The upperclassmen are now entertaining The evening quickly passes, and they are accepted as Worthy school mates. Q it D D What is this? Those forty-iive Freshmen are going to Boston to the Building to the Textile Show. What multitudes of products they see! How they wander around from booth to booth looking for free samples. What armfuls they carry out. ' ' D D Ah, all the Freshmen are together and the Senior president is talking to them. They must elect leaders. They go away to their places and ponder. Back again 60 ' 1927 SALEM NORMAL SCHOOL 1927 they come and choose their leaders. The Forty-five furnish the president and a little red-headed treasurer. D D What is this? Read- The Seniors cordially invite you to a Formal Reception to be held in the Assembly Hall on the evening of November 16, 1923 D D What are those white slips they are getting? They have received their first marks and now realize that they are nolonger in high school. D D Here is the pretty red and white Valentine party of the entire Freshman class to the upperclassmen. They are taking hold! D D What a forest! I do declare, I recognize some of those tree faces! There is some dead timber among the live timber in the history class. Poor Freshmen! D D Here on an enlarged stage in the assembly hall, under dimmed lights, is an- other forest scene. It is the joint concert of the Framingham and Salem Glee Clubs in the form of an operetta, Seeawanna. One of the Forty-five is on the stage and the rest are lending their moral support by their presence in the audience. D D The Gymnasium and the lunch room are in use this evening. The whole Com- mercial Department is there. They are having a banquet and awarding prizes for speed in typewriting. They cheer and sing. Now they adjourn to the Gymnasium where they dance and entertain. This affair is sponsored by the Commercial Club. D D Such a flower-bedecked scene. It is the first graduation that the Freshmen have witnessed at Normal School. The Freshmen rush about bidding temporary farewells to the friends they learned to like so well. PART Two D D The leaves are golden and red. It is September again, and forty-two of the forty-five are coming up the walk among the other students. Their faces are eager and seeking,-seeking the friends they made as Freshmen. They wander through the halls silently greeting the familiar places, and noisily rejoicing as each familiar face rounds a corner. D D Forty-two are assembling on Rowe's Wharf, Boston. Here comes a tug chugging up to the wharf. The students look a bit puzzled at this unromantic appearing boat, but they climb aboard. They are prepared for the worst. The boat starts and some of the students start-eating lemons. But after the sight-seeing tour around Boston Harbor they land again and wend their way homeward, none the worse for the trip. D D What a busy scene! How they rush here and there loaded with typewritten material, pictures, exhibits, and notebooks! It is just before Thanksgiving recess and they must get their projects and problems in before they go to various depart- ment stores for salesmanship experience. D D See the lights, the crowds, the stores. Here and there we see a happy-faced Sophomore bobbing through the crowds in the stores serving the Christmas shop- pers. It is vastly different from school life. D D Back they are in school, in January, again willing to take up the day's work with the student body. D D Here is another red and White Valentine party in the Gymnasium given by the Women's Athletic Association. This is the Hrst we have seen of this associa- tion. They must have organized last year to have such perfect cooperation now. It looks like a very successful party. D D It is spring. Spring brings a reception from the Freshmen to the upper- 61 1927 YEAR BOOK 1927 classmen. Though the men are few and tar between in the hall, everybody is hay- ing a gay time. D D Here in the Assembly Hall the student body is gathered for something entirely different. Frank Collier is on the platform lecturing on cartooning. At the end ot' his lecture he furnishes plenty of amusement by cartooning several of the men instructors. D D What an athletic scene out on the campus. This is the work of the Women's Athletic Association, introducing a real track meet for the girls of the school. D D Such a hushed scene of expectancy. The assembly hall is packed on this sun- shiny morning in June. The daisy chain files in to solemn music, and slowly after them comes a single file of white-clad girls, and now-a group of girls and boys in cap and gown. It is the first degree class to graduate from Salem Normal. How the undergraduates thrill to see them! PART THREE D D Here we have a kaleidoscopical picture. Eight of the original forty-five are in school. The remainder of the class are in various oflices working to acquire a business man's viewpoint so that they may be better fitted to teach commercial subjects. D D Here is the typewriting room with a busy hum filling the atmosphere. The eight Juniors are working on banking theses and cost account reports. They are getting real college work done. D D Another annual Freshman party in the Gymnasium. It is the last of October. The eight Juniors are to the fore broadcasting a pseudo radio program to the absent members of their class. D D Here is a serious meeting of students and teachers. They are forming plans for a Cooperative Association to further social and morale relations among the student body. D D Ah, a Held trip. The eight Juniors and some Junior High Sophomores with two teachers are ready to start for Boston. When they arrive, they visit the Fed- eral Reserve Bank, the Stock Exchange, the First National Bank, and The Stu- dent Prince. D D A Man Dance! The first one we have found in reading this book. The Geog- raphy Club has introduced this new feature in the school social life. It is a very enjoyable affair. D D How it snows! The eight Juniors have gone out to ofiices for the remainder of the year, and twenty-seven Juniors have returned to school to work as 'the other half of the class worked. D D What is this heavy debate? Oh, it is a debate on the renewal of the Federal Reserve Bank Charter in 1934. The class has debated twelve sides of the question. The six best speakers are now debating before a group of teacher judges. The affirmative side has won and so the charter will be renewed in 1934. The two best speakers are awarded a box of chocolates by their banking instructor. D D Here are the twenty-seven Juniors wandering afield. They visit Henry Ford's plant, Ginn 8z Company, Filene's Service Building, and Jordan Marsh's recreation rooms. D D But see this glowing masterpiece. It is dated June 9, 1926. The Juniors gather in North Station for a field trip. In the morning they visit the Federal 62 1927 SALEM NORMAL SCHOOL 1927 Reserve Bank and the Stock Exchangeg in the afternoon, they attend a murder trial at court. As they enter the court, the reporters begin to be industrious. Even as Juniors they are famous, for newspaper protographers surround them as they come out of court. After the barrage is moved, they go to the Colonial Room of the Westminster Hotel for a banquet. They have six guests: Mr. and Mrs. Pitman, Mr. and Mrs. Sproul, Mr. and Mrs. Phillips. All, including the guests, are required to do stunts, and the results are highly amusing. From the hotel they go to see Dearest Enemy. D D Here is another track meet on the campus. It is the day after their field trip, and the weary Juniors are going through the exercises like veterans after having seen their pictures in several newspapers. D D Again it is a graduation scene. The Juniors watch the Seniors depart sorrow- fully and realize they are Juniors no longer. They are Seniors now with the weighty duty of being worthy of the dignity of Seniors. PART FOUR D D What a jolly scene! It is in the Gymnasium where the Commercials have gathered to entertain their Freshmen. Thirty-five Seniors have put the Freshmen through a ghost walk and a weird initiation, and now they are entertaining them. All have voted that the Freshmen will be a credit to the school. D D Here is the Commercial Club in conclave. This has been reorganized with one of the thirty-five a president. They have noted speakers for their serious moments, and entertainments for their lighter moments. D D But why all these cornstalks and pumpkins in a gaily festooned assembly hall? Even the orchestra look like farm hands with their blue denim overalls. It is the upperclass reception to the Freshmen. The Harvest Ball is a jolly scene and a gay one. D D Another midyear man dance! The Geography Club started something that is worth while in the social life of the school. What a good time they are having! D D Here is something entirely different. The seats in the Assembly Hall are arranged as for a circus. They are giving a circus! See the clowns gambol and perform various stunts. See them build pyramids, run races, and tumble. This is the work of the Women's Athletic Association. Can you tell which is having the better time, the audience or the performers? D D A banquet table in the lunch room! Hear the merry songs to the faculty. It is the Commercial Seniors' annual luncheon to their faculty. Now they go to the center to receive presents from the Christmas tree. As they open them a verse is read aloud. D D Another Man Dance in the same year! This one is being conducted by the Men's Athletic Association as an Alumni affair. Though this is the first we have seen of the Men's Athletic Association affairs, it is a great success. D D Harmony! The Brown Musical Clubs and the Normal School Glee Club are on the platform in the Assembly Hall. How delightful it is to hear the jazz and classics mingled to suit the most critical and the most fastidious. D D This is a picture of a typical day. The thirty-tive are wearing their rings and pins to proclaim to all the world that they are Seniors. They are very busy. The Presidents of the Senior Class, the Cooperative Association, the Men's Athletic Association, the Women's Athletic Association, and the Commercial Club are from U -3 1927 YEAR BOOK 1927 the ranks of the thirty-five. Other members of the class hold otlices of minor im- portance, but it seems as it' they always have something on their minds other than lessons. See them dash from one place to another: committee meetings here, com- mittee meetings there, committee meetings galore. So many plans in the air for good time. D D A forest scene--a faintly glowing campfire, gentle harmony, brilliantly colored costumes. It is the Commercial Seniors' Gypsy Minstrel presented in the Training School Hall to an enthusiastic audience. D D The Seniors are out for six weeks' practice teaching. Their experiences are many,-pleasant and otherwise. D D Back to school they come, knowing that the next time they go out for experi- ence it will be for life. They look ahead to graduation. They don cap and gown. cognizant of their significance, but the black almost seems a symbol of mourning at leaving school. D D It is Class Day. The many colored costumes contrasted with the sombre caps and gowns and men's garments make a delightful scene. The class pageant pre- sented under the trees beyond the lilac hedge adds a splash of color to the already overflowing panoramic spectacle. The Seniors are feverishly gay. D D A note of solemnity. It is Graduation! The girls in white with the daisy chain, after them the White-clad graduates, and then the thirty-five degree students. Are their eyes a triHe moist? There is a light behind that moisture-the Light of Purpose. Catch the low murmur- Now we dedicate the learning We have ac- quired in these halls to other halls, and will endeavor to do for others what our instructors have so willingly done for us.

If happiness consists of memories of the past, joys of the present, and antici- pations of the future, then we, the Junior High Seniors, are the happiest persons existing. Three years ago thirty-eight individuals started for Salem Normal School from various cities and towns in Massachusetts. We were thirty-eight purposeful young people, all with the determination to prepare to the best of our ability for our chosen Work, the teaching profession. At nine-thirty on our first memorable morning, our confidence and cheerfulness had diminished considerably. There were several reasons: the gloomy, rainy weather, the strangeness and immensity of the new school, the witnessing, yet not participating in the happy greetings of upper classmen. It was a horrid, lonesome feeling of which some of us still retain vivid memories. Our first class dispelled a little the dismal feeling, for it proved that we as Junior High Freshmen believed in doing things thoroughly, a quality which we always retained. Thoroughness in preparation, in presentation, and in assimila- tion. With such a mastery of thoroughness, it is little wonder our class has left a lasting impression on Salem Normal School. Completeness, indeed, was our key note. We had a class roll that extended the length of the alphabet from A to Z. To emphasize the fact, and to call attention to our unique and remarkable section. there was at either end a red head. 6-T 1927 YEAR BOOK 1927 It seems a coincidence that on the first hour ot' the first day of the first year at Salem Normal School, Mr. Whitney should have been our instructor. The friend- ship and the understanding bestowed upon us that day have continued through the three years we have been in school. Always he has been our closest friend and adviser. sharing our secrets, encouraging our aspirations. and stimulating us to the achievement of higher and higher attainments. The artistry. personality, and genius of our beloved honorary classmate will always be among the pleasantest of our Normal School memories. The first year had several highlights. With Miss Ware as our interesting guide, we indefatigably traversed miles of territory, crossed rivers by foot or by ferry, climbed peaks astoundingly high and steep. To our conception, the expedi- tion can be exceeded only by that of Lewis and Clarke. One field trip in particular left a lasting impression. Our purpose on the trip was to study the characteristics of the river we saw and to determine whether it was a young river or an old river. It was delightful to stroll along the marshy bank, chatting merrily, or, if our guide came too near, discussing seriously the supposed age of the river. Occasionally an indignant exclamation could be heard when some unfortunate person had stepped ankle-deep in mud or when a rampant brambler had caught a new hair net. The laughter gradually diminished and Hnally ceased when several muddy miles had been trudged, and still the age of the river had not been determined. Five girls lingered in the rear apparently in earnest consultation. Softer and softer sounded their voices as the class continued. Twenty minutes later, a wagon travelling in the direction of the Normal School was seen with five exhausted girls riding on the tailboard. They had decided that even a young river becomes an old story if you follow it far enough. Through the study of history we made further discoveries. We found, for example, that so eminent people as the authors of our history texts disagreed on matters that seemed vital. Heated arguments defending the point of view of our own particular authority caused us to search diligently for more exact and inten- sive information. During this period in our development, We were often at loss to know whom to believe. A few of our ingenious members resorted to the scheme of placing several books before them, closing their eyes, and seizing any one of the books. The text thus chosen was claimed by each to be the source which was most truthful. It has been said that Music hath charms, but if anyone heard our class in its early musical attempts in 1924, he would have failed to find aught but discord. Practicing for the solo which was to make us famous in the freshman music course, eliminated some of the inharmonious sounds. Our practice combined with a knowl- edge of theory, time-beating, and conducting served to make us formidable musi- cians. Surely some of the happiest hours we have spent have been the chorus hours, hours in which we sang to our hearts' content, and incorporated in our very souls the music of the masters. Vacation days found us scattered over New England: some leisurely idled away pleasant summer days in delightful camps at the seashore or in the mountainsg others, more seriously inclined, were established as teachers lin embryol on play- grounds in various cities. Round Robin letters proved an excellent way of keeping in touch with each other. When the letters arrived, they brought the alarming news of an ever-increasing number of bobbed heads. It was too tempting. One li If 1927 SALEM NORMAL SCHOOL 1927 after another bobbed her hair and wrote an eight-page letter telling of the charm and the freedom of shorn locks. September 1925, brought to school again twenty-four of us, but so greatly changed that we were hardly recognizable. A summer in the sunshine had added a coat of tan to a few, while to others it had given an unbecoming mass of freckles. Short hair, peculiarly childish, contrasted decidedly with a newly-adopted, mature expression. Saucy, tilted noses and twinkling eyes seemed violently opposed to serious, stern mouths. Even the carefree swagger of freshmen days had been replaced by a stately, graceful gait. We were Junior High Sophomores! It was dillicult to plan for social activities because of the lack of unity in the class, therefore, we formed the first sophomore class organization in the history of the school. The result was better cooperation by all members and a deeper feel- ing of class loyalty and pride. One of the most successful events that was a result of the class cooperation was a Farewell Party. It was our last party before our separation, when twelve members would go to the training school and twelve remain to continue scholastic achievements at the Normal School. A delectable luncheon was served, including everything from chicken sandwiches to the six varieties of cake. It proved too tempting even to Tommy who was conscientiously trying to abide by her diet. After the luncheon we were entertained by Elizabeth and Kay as Romeo and Juliet. Was it a sentimental thrill or a thrill of horror we experienced as we watched Juliet tilting back and forth in a precarious position at the top of an eight- foot step-ladder? Below her paced tiny Romeo, dramatically and vehemently declaring his love for Juliet. He was encouraged to more persistent pleading by an enormous paper rose which was tossed lovingly but rather violently into his face. It was with some relief that we witnessed Juliet succumb to her lover's entreaties and slide daintily down the ladder, directly into the arms of Romeo. That she almost demolished her lover in her rapid descent was completely ignored by the sympathetic audience. The laughter and admiring comments were an evidence that Elizabeth and Kay had excelled as Shakespearian actors. Training days slipped by and spring arrived. Spring brought gardening and tennis, both wholesome outdoor activities, but how vastly different! We were accused of monopolizing the tennis courts but never of committing the same crime in relation to the garden tools and the garden. There are two mysteries which have never been solved. One was the reason for the over-productiveness of a gar- den plot suspiciously near Ethel's. The other was the lack, in all nature study texts, of illuminating information about a gum tree. Evidently it is known only to Helen! Almost before we knew it, we had returned once again to Salem Normal Schoolg this time as sagacious Seniors. Even the faculty recognized our maturityg wit- ness, the history projects. It was history, history, history from early morning until late at night. In the library, on the car, on the train, and even at our lunch table could be heard discussions of Salem's physical features, early laws and cus- toms, architecture, and commercial and industrial development. If, by chance, you had visited the Essex Institute in the fall, you were sure to have seen at least one of our number browsin' around, if not actually buried in Perley or Felt. Despite the pressure of practice teaching, history projects, hygiene exams, and laboratory exercises, one classmate, and a very serious one, wandered from the pedagogical 67 1927 YEAR BOOK 1927 track. Ever since we learned of what she did, we have searched through Dewey. Strayer, and White, but still we can find no reference that would warrant her act. Elizabeth became engaged! All year we have admired her diamond which flashes so modestly. Our admiration for the symbol of her happiness, however, cannot be compared with the awe we feel when we see how her expression radiates joy. We think Elizabeth has found a secret not yet imparted to us. We feel sure, however, it is not concealed among the elements of pedagogy,-so diligently have we searched. One of the pleasures of our senior year which will always call forth the most delightful memories was the afternoon spent at the home of Mr. Whitney. We were a gay group as we gathered around the tire-place in the sun porch. Some perched themselves on the hammockg others were comfortably established on cush- ions at the feet of our classmate. Preparations for our lunch began at once. Water for the tea was heated in an ancient tea kettle directly over the fire just as it was in the picturesque, old-fashioned days. Water, thus heated, combined with the lovely old pewter mugs gave an added and extremely delicious flavor to the tea. Between nibbles at sandwiches, we deluged Mr. Whitney with questions concerning his enchanting home. Simplicity is its keynote. We were convinced, however, that there was some other quality it possessed which had impressed us more. We could not define it. Later when we had finished our tea and we went into the other rooms, we were determined we would unearth the secret. Everywhere we saw some suggestion of Mr. Whitney's artistry. Sometimes it was the soft tint of the walls or the arrangement of a chair. Personality was revealed in every detail. That was the secret. Twenty-two individuals came away with twenty-two minds filled with ideas for a home which we hope will materialize some day. All too quickly June arrived with its gay plans for Class Day and Commence- ment. The thought is always prevalent, however, that our school days soon will be ended, school days which have brought encouragement and inspiration from our teachers, friendship .from our classmates, and growth and development in our own minds. It is this realization which constitutes our happy memories of Salem Normal School. We now look forward to the future with eager anticipation and with intrepid spirit. .

How many weary miles we did travel the first f I I week, hunting for the arithmetic room, for the library. cc cc i for the geography room, and for the gym. What worse fate could befall an unsuspecting Freshman than to open a forbidding door to be confronted by the haughty and amused stares of the autocratic Seniors. The Library of Congress need never spend time and money for copies of books used in the Freshman year at Salem Normal because all texts assigned for study that first month were copied verbatim. We poor, unsophisticated Freshmen con- centrated especially on Uhl and Brown and Coffman. It is mystery how the ef- fective movements were ever separated from the initial diffuse movements. It must have been a process of filteration. September and October passed, but not as all months do. Our pet habits and tricks were vanquished. We were disillusioned, for we had always thought of Nor- mal School as a place of much practice with little theory. It was about this time that the hazy atmosphere of not knowing where we were going in the corridors began to leave us, that we did not humiliate ourselves before the aristocratic seniors, and we ceased to tremble when we saw a superhuman machine tfacultyb approach us. The Aristocrats gave a reception for us, and I I I II I I we became even bettel. acquainted with faculty members and fellow Students- A d1Se0Ve1'Y Was tltiliiillimmeHilll!Illlliitilkmlliliiliaiililliiqllisilliimme to be ours.

' I5 II and with our Worry. The tales of woe to which our families were obliged to listen! In November we had a few days of respite in which to recover from the warning slips. Those not receiving any, ate a hearty Thanksgiving dinner and sent up one prayer for thanks and another for the continuance of good luck. . In December we were introduced to the social life of the school. We attended a round of Christmas parties. Each section gave a party to which it invited a faculty member. After the affair the ice was broken, and tlte tie grew stronger between faculty members and students. After Christmas, the Freshmen returned armed with brief cases. Santa Claus had evidently found that the elements had not been too partial to the books belonging to our school, and so he had worked ' '71 1927 YEAR BOOK 1927 unusually hard in order to provide the Freshmen with brief cases. Now we had a real professional air. In January began the greatest entertainment and sale fever known in the his- tory of the school. The Seniors seemed to think we were made of money or else owned a magic lamp. Raise money for the Year Book! was the hue and cry from all. We sat for our pictures about this time. How we watched with awe- filled eyes the proceedings of the Staff '.', How mysteriously they acted! What secrets were locked behind the door of the English office? We were to find out in a few months when we received our Year-books. The last week in January we got our reports and a goodly number of slips, There were many surprises, good as well as bad. What did you get in geography '? You did! I studied twice as hard as you. And so on and so on. One morning in the first week of February, 'we awoke to find a wolf in the form of a no'easter, howling at our doors. Many inexperienced, conscientious Freshmen braved the elements and arrived at school only to be sent home upon their arrival. Was it Freshman luck that gave to a favored few the experience of spending the night on the Narrow Gauge? In the first week of March, we had our midwinter vacation. Most of the Freshmen spent at least one day visiting a grade of their own immediate neighbor- hood. We returned to school full of enthusiasm and full of criticisms of the teachers in our towns. What sage connoisseurs we were! One event makes the sunshine of our year more glorious and the shadows less severe. We refer, of course, to the great honor, in keeping with long estab- lished and honorable tradition, when we, the Freshman Class of 1926, returned a dance to the Seniors. How excited we were! How important we felt after our long, hard apprenticeship! With the coming of spring days, the Elementary Freshmen were taken by Miss Ware on a field trip to Legg's Hill. There we were initiated to the complexities of New England topography. Our heads were crammed with knowledge of kettle- holes, drumlins, and eskers. June seventeenth was Class Day. What bonny milkmaids we Freshmen made and how gaily we danced around the Maypole. Our first year as Freshmen in Salem Normal was over. We would return as Seniors, and so we sped the farewells to the outgoing class. The last days of our summer vacation came to a close and we returned to Salem Normal in the fall of 1926. There were hilarious reunions held in our locker rooms: reprimands followed by a volley of questions! The old school welcomed us back after her quiet summer, and it felt good to be there as Seniors. After we Seniors greeted each other, we 1 returned our attention to the Freshmen. Com- ' mittees of Seniors met the incoming Freshmen for ,, j M at the trains and at the school. Never have 'Ko fi W any Freshmen had such a welcoming. The l K -K I Q x boarding students even tucked them into bed V l ' g I ff their first night away from mother. X . if X-'lm Our first affair was an informal Get-Ae- g ' I ' quainted Party given in the hall in order that ,f 1 the Freshmen might be introduced to the fac- fl . ulty and to the Seniors. The poor Freshmen 72 1927 SALEM NORMAL SCHOOL 19127 looked as if they were handcuffed to their Senior. After the reception, punch was served by a skilled and eiiicient staff of Junior High young men. They showed great initiative and efliciency in handling the shortage of cups. In October, the Senior Class gave the annual reception to the Freshmen. The supernal joy of the Harvest Ball given by the Senior Class of 1927 will be an ever- lasting memory. This was followed by a Geography Club Dance. The Geography Club dances have been some of the most successful ever given at Salem Normal School. The reason '? They are Man Dances! May the Geography Club long be remembered for them. After Thanksgiving, Senior I returned. Poor Senior I was made into a Ques- tion and Answer Bureau. What was it like '? How did you know what to do '? Was it very bad? These were only a few of the many questions they were obliged to answer in order to live in peace. The first week of February gave us Senior II again, but we sent Senior Ill away with many good wishes. With hopes and fears, Senior IV waited their turn. During the course of the first four months as Seniors, we became acquainted with Laboratory Exercises. When we are ready for the Teachers' Retirement Fund we shall still say, How many agree '? That's good. We learned that we need not say, Please study, but Study sentences one and two, three and four. Meanwhile, on the third floor were strange happenings. A visitor would have said we were preparing for a minstrel show. We were having black board sketch- ing with Mr. Whitney. Most of the charcoal that was to make a mighty ocean or primeval forest transferred itself to our hands and faces. In another room on the same floor, we wrestled with the scientists. Each Senior could have written a book giving her arguments for or against Evolution. Our trip to the Peabody Museum was the climax of our intensive study. Most of the girls took 'a great interest in the bird of paradise and the peacock. As the spring approaches, the time for planting begins. It fell to our lot to plan the flower garden. What multi-color plans we had. Joseph's coat of many colors could not have surpassed our Garden Plans. And so our years as Elementaries at Salem Normal are drawing to a close. Graduation day drops us into the seas of life with the ever-widening cycle of the years. The last port made The sailors safe on board, The sails unfurled, A cargo in the hold. The sea is smooth near shore But Whitecaps out beyond the bar. A happy sun to smile, Godspeed, A farewell shout from shoreg The sails are fullg Rollicking sailor's songs Are wafted back to lookers-on: A silent prayer comes from each heart, The ship will make the other shore.

For many years the boarding students of Salem Normal School dreamed of a club that would bind them together and thus make them a vital and influencing factor in school life. The realization of that dream came in 1926 as a protegee of the Co- operative Council, itself an infant organization. It was May 1926 when the club finally organized and in September its work began. The first accomplishment of the Tri-Mu was the Welcoming of the new boarding students, helping them to get adjusted to their new homes and trying to ease their homesick pangs. Once a month the club meets for a social time. It may be because it was the first and thus a promise for the future, but, in any event, the outing to Baker's Island in Octo-ber was an outstanding event in the life of every boarding student. Each forgot her cares and troubles as the motor launch went bounding over the waves of Salem Harbor. Supper was made over a fire on one of the rocky ledges and if more dirt and smoke was eaten than anything else, no one seemed to care. Coming home, every song from The Boarding House to Pilgrims' Chorus was attempted by aspiring prima donnas and much of the hoarseness next day was to be traced to these endeavors. The Tri-Mu is looking forward to next year when the club will grow in strength and purpose. President . . . . . . Bertha Wickman Secretary . . . ..... Marion Perry Treasurer ....... .. .

Its members may be recognized by the colorful palette which they wear. Its origin, as perhaps you have heard, was with a group of pupils who wished more art work and art study than the regular course permitted. All this happened many years ago. After some discussion with the art director, a club was organized and for years past it has been a flourishing organization. The work has varied from year to year. There have been interesting study hours with the old masters, anecdotes and incidents in the lives of great artists, walks for the study of architectural details, visits to museums, art schools, studios, and galleries, entertainments, lectures, and pageants. All this could not possibly be accomplished in one year. This class, the class of 1927, has been a class of many clubs, but of course we think the Art Club is just the club for us. It was a very happy group of young people who met Mr. Whitney in the Art Room, early in November to organize the Art Club of 1926-27. The officers were chosen as follows: Catherine Whalen, Presi- dent, Helen Allard, Vice-President, Mary Ahearn, Secretary, and Gladys Wilkins, Treasurer. Mr. Whitney and Miss Baird were unanimously elected faculty ad- visors, Mrs. Whitney, an honorary member. The Art Club stationery made a great appeal, so we planned for our first project in craftsmanship, cases to hold paper, envelopes, and blotter. They proved most satisfactory and beautiful,-real works of art. Then there arose a clamor- ing for pennants. We proceeded to make monogram designs for cushions, shields, and pennants. Some of these you will see in our tail piece. We used orange felt with backgrounds or letters in a contrasting brown or darker orange. Some might think our color scheme a little barbaric, but orange has a wonderful meaning for us. We were happy to have our own pennants and sold many of them among our fellow students. Our book-ends of wood and tooled metal gave rise to problems in structural drawing, design, metal-tooling, and construction. How fine they will look on our desks at school next year. Other projects that we found equally inter- esting were basketry and leather tooling. Construction work is not the only type of activity. There are also trips: sketching trips for the study of composition and color, walks for the study of historic details in architecture, our Boston trip which included a trip to the Museum of Fine Arts and to the Isabella Stuart Gardner Museum, our picnics, and, finally, our outing at Mr. Whitney's home with faculty members as his guests. In the years to come these memories will always be dear to us. With the memories will ever arise a vivid picture of our beloved leader, Mr. Whitney, who is so closely associated with all our art appreciation and enjoyment.

GEOGRAPHY CLUB It has been the good fortune of the Geography Club to have the opportunity to help the whole school. Its most noteworthy undertaking was the purchase of a moving picture machine. Last year the fund was started. Contributions were made by the Training School, the Civics Club, and the Class of 1926. The success- ful Club Dance in November completed the fund. With a great deal of pride in their hearts club members saw Miss Rowe present to the school the motion picture machine. Since that day both schools have used the machine and are beginning to see its possibilities. The News Letter, since its inception last year, has increased in size and circulation. The Cooperative Council is now considering taking over this project and expanding it to a school weekly. While this work has occupied the Club, its programs during the year have been interesting and valuable. The club appoints committees which present pro- grams based on the life of different peoples. Members have enjoyed an Italian Christmas party at Miss Ware's home with gifts, games, music, and refreshmentsg a talk illustrated by pictures and mementoes given by Miss Portesi, a Normalite traveller in Italy, a program of Italian music presented by the eighth grade orches- tra and members of the Club. Two carefully prepared programs had as their theme Egyptian art, music, and literature. The most recent gathering was a tea, with linen, tea service, and food in peasant Russian style. Many other pleasant afternoons will be spent before the final meeting of the year, a reunion in the country of all Geography Club alumni and members.

FRESHMAN CIVICS CLUB Through the cooperation of twenty-eight' members of the Freshman Civics Club, we have made this club year a success. Our interest this year lay chiefly in international relationship. Through talks on the life and activities of foreign people by members of the club, by Miss Baird, and a talk on International Cor- respondence by Miss Emery, a member of the National Red Cross, we were led to take several steps toward promoting international friendship. Our first activity reached as far as Japan. We dressed a doll as an American school girl and sent her to Japan as our representative in the Japanese Doll Fes- tival which was held in May. So that we may become acquainted with other cities and normal schools, we made two booklets of stories, pictures, and maps of our club, our school, and our city. One was sent to South Africa, the other, to France. We also had the privilege of hearing Mrs. Talboy, a member of the League of Nations Non-Partisan Association of Boston. Her talk was on America's For- eign Policy, in which she said that Reliable justice between nations consists in just such a balance of interests as will enable them to get along together and leave the door of friendship open. Our chief social event of the year was a Washington birthday entertainment, in the form of tableaux and charades.

' MUSICAL CLUBS A In September the Salem Normal School Glee Club had an early and excellent beginning for the season of 1926 and 1927. Our faculty advisor and leader was Mr. Archibald, who is likwise director of the Musical Clubs at Framingham Nor- mal School. The following oflicers were elected to carry on the Work of the organization for the season: President, Blanche McKeen of Peabodyg Secretary, Olive Richard- son of Salem, Treasurer, Bernice Bagley of Wakefield, Librarian, Eloise Harty of Malden, Assistant Librarian, Margaret Henry of Salem, Pianist, Louise Nutter of Beverly, Assistant Pianist, Elizabeth Stanley of North Beverly. The club -has had a most successful and active season. One of the rare treats our. club has enjoyed this year was a concert given at the Salem State Armory by the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. The'Glee Club girls were invited to usher. Before the concert, the Kiwanis Club of Salem gave its annual dinner to the girls at the Hawthorne Hotel. In January the Salem Woman's Club issued an invitation to several members of the Glee Club living in or near the center of Salem to take part in a pageant, The Quest of the Holy Grail. A combined chorus of both organizations sang throughout the entire performance. H At Christmas time the musical clubs gave a real old-fashioned Christmas con- cert. Mr. Archibald sang in his inimitable Way the well-known Shelly number, Christmas The Dramatic Club also gavean entertainment at which the Glee Club assisted by singing several numbers. 88 1927 SALEM NORMAL SCHOOL 1927 Toward the latter part of January the Normal School Club entertained the Combined Musical Clubs of Brown University, Providence. The dinner was fol- lowed by dancing in the gymnasium until concert time. The concert itself was one of the best ever given in Salem. On Friday evening, April 1, the annual joint concert of the Salem and Fram- ingham Normal Combined Musical Clubs was held at Framingham. The Salem girls traveled in two large omnibusses with two members of the faculty as chap- erones. Upon their arrival they were given a tea by their hostesses at Framing- ham. Following the tea there was a joint rehearsal for the evening concert. At six o'clock the Salem guests attended a banquet in their honor at Peirce Hall. Here speeches, cheers, and songs were enthusiastically received by the alternate clubs. In the evening the concert proved delightful. The usual good school spirit was manifested by the large attendance of students and alumni of both schools. Commencement time found the Glee Club contributing a few select numbers as its share in the graduation program. Step singing on class day also was an addi- tional musical feature, to which the student body responded. As each club has its own peculiar tradition, so the Glee Club has step singing as its particular tradition. The Normal School Glee Club of 1926 and 1927 has many happy memories. To our most Worthy director, Mr. Archibald, belongs the credit for our success. The members of the Glee Club are in one accord in their appreciation of the years spent with their inspiring leader. Pk Pk Dk 34 wk 254 This year the orchestra began its annual struggle for existence under student leadership. Beginning the first of January, however, Mr. Archibald held weekly rehearsals on Wednesday afternoons in preparation for the Framingham concert. New music was bought and a librarian elected. It became a joy to attend rehear- sals, and public appearance then held no terrors. Among the social activities in which the orchestra took prominent part were the Combined Musical Clubs Concert at Framingham and the Class Day Exercises.

THE DRAMATIC CLUB I The footlights sparkled, the orchestra played a soft, lilting tune, then the cur- tain rolled slowly upward to reveal a setting that seemed strangely familiar. The characters in the play were soon -recognized as friends. It was the stage of Salem Normal School and to the play We soon gave the title The Dramatic Club. q We embryonic actresses were soon initiated into the mysteries and fascina- tions of make-up. The intricate technicalities of staging and producing a play were also learned. Thus our respect and admiration for stage managers increased because heretofore we had thought the production of a play to be pure fun and a very simple undertaking. Our Christmas gift and greeting to the school was the charming play, The Reveriej' by Percival Wilde. We were aided in this presentation by the interpre- tive music furnished by the Glee Club. Afternoon teas, served in a charming manner, were an interesting and enjoy- able feature on the social calendar of the Club. At present, The Rebellion of Youth, a clever modern farce by J. C. McMul- len, is on its way to stage production. ' Henrik Ibsen's Ghosts and William Shakespeare's Macbeth now playing in Boston are attracting many members of the club and theatre parties are num- erous. Credit for the eihcient management of the club should be given to our capable faculty advisor, Miss Harris. Our study of plays both in the classroom and Dramatic Club makes us feel that the better type of play is in the ascendancy. 90 1927 SALEM NORMAL SCHOOL 1927 THE JOHN BURROUGHS CLUB Back Row: Patterson, Flynn, Daniels, Cleary, Bishop, Goverman, Hill.

THE JOHN BURROUGHS CLUB The John Burroughs Club was organized in the fall of 1926, with Miss Gold- smith as our faculty advisor. During the early fall, we spent our time out-of-doors. The first two meetings took the form of short walks when, under Miss Goldsmith's guidance, we learned the characteristics of many of the trees. On November 18, through the courtesy of Mr. Pitman, the club sponsored a lecture on trees, given in story form, through moving pictures by Mr. Wilson, a representative of the Massachusetts Forestry Association. The lecture pointed out man's prodigality and how forests should be protected. Two meetings were devoted to the making of suet bags with the help of Miss Goldsmith. During the winter meetings, Miss Goldsmith showed us interesting films: The Life of the Humming Bird, 'Waders of the Marshes, and the Growth and Uses of Spineless Cactus. Miss Isabelle Kasparian spoke on the Friendliness and Un- friendliness of Birds , and Miss Irene Rich told us of the life of John Burroughs, the man for whom the club was named. On February 11, the club gave a Valentine party, each member inviting a guest. For entertainment we had a Mock Fashion Sh-ow. At the next meeting, we took a trip to the Peabody Museum to study the birds found in Essex County. The club is looking forward to many more interesting events planned for the remainder of the year. The months spent together have been enjoyable and we have made many lasting friendships. To Miss Goldsmith, our faculty advisor, who has been our inspiring leader, we wish all the joys of the comingyears. nz 1927 YEAR BOOK 1927 l COMMERCIAL CLUB Back Row: Donovan, Mayer, Sullivan, Garvey, Canty, Carlin, Rockett, Galper, Orton, Katz, YVaxman, Cook, Proctor, Vilhalley.

THE COMMERCIAL CLUB 'Twas in the year 1924 that the good ship, bearing on her bow the proud name Commercial Club grounded on the Reef of Neglect. There, tilted on her star- board side, held fast by the cruel rocks, she lay deserted, forgotten, alone. A A year passed, a second year came, but still the luckless ship clung to her unwelcome mooring. Time and the elements dealt kindly With the vessel, for though the blistered, peeling paint and the shattered side told the story of the be- lated ship, she still was too valuable to discard. Would the year 1926 pass leav- ing this unappreciated prize to inevitable destruction? . ' Such an unhappy fate was not to be. In the Senior class there came a thought, a hope, and then a dogged determination to reclaim and rebuild the gallant ship, The Seniors responded readily until they totalled twenty-seven in number. A larger crew, however, was necessary in order to undertake the difficult task. Eagierly the under-classmen, Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors made application, until the crew finally numbered sixty-four staunch and earnest members. A Then came the choosing of their leaders, and the officers, listed on the opposite- page, Were entrusted to pilot the ship safely through the deep waters of commeri cial activity. , - Such is the history of the downfall and the reconstruction of the lCommerGialf, Club. Enthusiasm and active interest seemed to permeate our members from the- very first. Every one was ready and Willing to do his share towards fulfilling' the purpose of our club: To promote interest in commercial work and the teaching of commercial work, as well as to create and maintain a professional attimfre and cooperative spirit among the members. 92 1927 SALEM NORMAL SCHOOL 15227 To follow this purpose our programs were arranged in four cycles: the first cycle to emphasize the business aspect, the second cycle, the personal element: the third cycle, the educational field, and the fourth cycle, the provision of general entertain-ment. Some of our most interesting and valuable club programs are worthy of description. On October 28, the club was very fortunate in having Mr. Pitman deliver an address to the members on The Development of the Commercial Department in Salem Normal School. Among the business programs presented, there were two exceptionally bene- ficial addresses. On November 11, Mr. Whitman, who had just returned from China, addressed the club on Commercial Items. Mr. Whitman's vivid portrayal of our Eastern neighbors and their customs, was both educational and enjoyable. On January 13, we were able to secure as our speaker, Mr. Sullivan, Collector of the Port of Salem, who spoke on How the Customs Service is Performed Through- out the United States. We have also had two exceptionally fine entertainment programs. On Novem- ber 23, the Commercial Sophomores presented a salesmanship play entitled, Dulcy the Perfect Salesladyf' The play, in addition to bringing to light the acting talent of the performers, showed how remarkably beneficial their salesmanship course had been to them. Commendation is due Miss Brennan, faculty advisor of the class, and instructor in salesmanship, for her untiring efforts to produce the play success- fully. Another novel and clever entertainment was enjoyed on December 9 in the form of a radio program. Though the radio was sans antenna and sans battery, the chairman was able to tune in on numerous stations and received a varied pro- gram of speeches, poems, songs, harmonica solos, and orchestral selections. Thus the rejuvenated ship has held steadfastly to her course. The time is fast flitting by, and already the ship is on her homeward journey. Soon she will sail majestically into the harbor, and nose into her berth, there to lie at anchor for a few short months. Then shall come a new crew to sail this stately ship. To that new crew go forth the best wishes and the high standards of the faithful crew of 1927. Sail on ! , OFFICERS ' President ...... .. . Helen Brotherton Vice-president . . . . .

GIRL SCOUTS The Scouts were organized the latter part of September, choosing Miss Crut- tenden for captain and Miss Sto-ne for lieutenant. The last of October We took advantage of the ideal Weather and hiked to Devereaux Where We enjoyed a Weenie roast. In December, we found a family who needed help and We were glad to be able to make their Christmas a little happier by sending them clothes, food, and toys. Miss Constance Hopkins, a representative of the Colgate Company, gave a very interesting demonstration of correct laundering. We spent one January after- noon at Miss Cruttenden's new home and had a delightful time. During February, March, and May We were indeed fortunate to have Miss Potter, the director of the Eastern Division, give a most valuable course of eight lessons in Scout leadership. Six of the lessons were open to the entire school as well as Scout leaders of nearby troups. March 24th, a candlelight service was held at which time the badges earned were awarded. Three Scouts attended the College Scout Club Conference at Cedar Hill Where they met with girls from Mt. Holyoke, Wellesley, Radcliffe, Boston University, and Wheaton, discussing college scouting. Miss Hazel Adams, president of the Golden Eaglets Association, and who is at present at Boston University, studying advanced Scouting, gave a very interest- ing talk to our troop in April. One of the pleasantest events of the year Was an overnight trip to Cedar Hill, the Girl Scout Camp. Several members attended an inspiring and instructive rally of all Massachu- setts Girl Scouts at the Arena in Boston. Our activities of the year closed with this event. 94 1927 SALEM NORMAL SCH'JOL 1927 L VJ MQ I 1927 YEAH IJOUIQ 1937 XYUMlCN'S ATHLETIC .-XSSllt.'IA'l'IUN lim-k liowz M. li-1'-'lf-1', Ilm-:ul uf 'I'rar'k: P.

The purposes of the association are three-fold, to set high ideals and standards and promote good sportsmanship in all activities, to create an inter- est in athletics, and to conduct contests and give awards. Early in the year the annual membership drive was carried on: seventy-five per cent of the girls became members. Besides conducting all the sports through the year, there have been other functions which the members of the Athletic Association were privileged to enjoy. There was the hike and the Weenie roast at Devereaux, the great Circus in the assembly hall, and the Country Fair in the gymnasium where all the mem- bers tried their luck at the various games. To help promote and further the purpose of the Association there is besides the regular numerals and insignia, a final award given to not more than three members of the Senior class. To be eligible for this award they must have earned their insignia, attained an average of B in their studies, corrected physical defects, and must possess characteristics which make them outstanding personali- ties. The award, a gold pin engraved with the school seal and surrounded by the words, Scholarship, Sportsmanship and Honor was awarded last year to Helen Thurlow of the Junior High Course and Edna Peabody of the Elementary Course. Through the cooperation of Miss Wallace and Miss Hale we have sports for every season of the year, including field ball, Newcomb, volley ball, basketball, base- 96 1927 SALEM NORMAL SCHOOL 1927 NEVVCOMB Back Row: Tebo, Davenport, Rosnell, Goodwin, Morrow.

We hope that next year the Association will again be fortunate in having such splendid helpers and also that the membership will reach the hundred per cent mark. NEWCOMB Newcomb is the first indoor activity of the Womenis Athletic Association. A game that is not complicated to play, it serves to start the fall season with much interest and enthusiasm. A Newcomb team was chosen from each division. mak- ing sixteen teams in all. As the rules were taught during the Gym periods, there were no practices and the games started immediately. From the sixteen teams three leagues were formed and these games were played leaving the Commercial Seniors, Junior High Seniors, and Commercial Soph- omores winners of their respective leagues. An inter-league schedule was made and these three teams met each other, competing for the school championship. After two exciting games, evidenced by the large attendance of the student body, the Commercial Seniors proved their superiority by winning all games and were consequently named Newcomb Champs.

This was a new game to most of the students, but many people turned out for the first prac- tice. Their enthusiasm did not wane for there was a large attendance at all prac- tices, which showed that the games proved to be fully as interesting as it sounded while it was being explained. I . p As a result of many hard and strenuous practices, four teams were chosen, making an Elementary Senior team, an Elementary Freshman team, a Junior team, and a Commercial team. What an exciting season this proved to be! The four teams were evenly matched, each team played the other three, and there were many nights when 'the games lasted until nearly dark. The scores of these games were close to the Very end and it was often that a team won by merely one point. Because theteams were so evenly matched no team was acclaimed champion. Two all-star were chosen from the entire squad, but, owing to the early approach of was too cold to finish the season with the Army and Navy game and it regret that darkness and coldness ended the field ball season. i From the very beginning the sport was enjoyed by everyone and it was with much enthusiasm and interest that the attention of the students was turned toward the indoor sport, Newcomb, which had already been started. 98 1927 SALEM NORMAL SCHOOL 1927 VOLLEY BALL Immediately after the Thanksgiving vacation the volley ball season ojiem-rl with a large, enthusiastic group out for practice. As a result, two leagues wer:- formed each comprising three teams. Although short, it was a very exciting sca- son because the teams were evenly matched and in League A each team won and lost the same number of games so that there was no champion in that league. How- ever, in League B the Junior High people won every game, so were the champions cf League B. TENNlS Finding that there were many girls interested in tennis who had no means of learning how to play, the head of tennis, Pauline Conrad, started blackboard classes. Forty girls enrolled, and they discussed 1'ules and asked questions, then went to the courts for supervised practice. When the tennis season ended, the courts and additional ground were plowed to make four courts. An enlarged class began practice in the spring. Prospects look bright now for the largest and best tennis ,tournament ever presented on S. N. S. Class Day. BASEBALL The first outdoor activity for the spring season is baseball. After the winter season it seemed good to be out of doors again and many people came out for prac- tice. After a short but exciting season of baseball, the girls turned their attention to the next activity on our list, track and iield. BASKET BALL It has been called our major sport-and the enthusiasm and interest which basket ball arouses, makes it deserving of the title. And this year was no excep- tion. Excitement increased as the time came for teams to be posted. Of the six teams which were chosen, three were from the Commercials. The Seniors had one, and the three under classes had two teams among them, the Scrappers and the Tru-Blus. The Elementary Seniors, Elementary Freshmen and Junior Highs were each represented by a team. The loyal supporters in the balcony added much enthuisasm to the series of games which followed, when each team played the others. Particularly exciting was the Junior High Tru-Blu game, when, both with a record of victories behind them, they decided which team was to emerge as champion. Until the last quarter no one could predict the outcome-the Tru-Blus earned the championship. But as exciting as these games proved, the climax was still to come-the honor teams were next chosen. When the news spread around that the Army and Navy teams were posted, an eager crowd gathered around the door of the Physical Educa- tion oiiice, to learn the results, which were: Navy: H. Carroll and L. Cook, forwardsg H. Bishop and H. Hawley, centers, A. Cofiill and R. Beckford, guards. Army: B. Tenenbaum and K. Wheelan, forwards, R. Smith and G. Grossman, centersg Z. Zuoski and M. Obear, guards. Subs: McCarthy, Linehan, Nevers, Dozois, Shien- feld, Freedman. After one practice the game was scheduled. In the last quarter the Navy suc- ceeded in adding to their score, winning by the small margin of 25-23. So it ended, another jolly basket ball season, with everyone eagerly looking forward to another. l I 927 YEAR BOOK 1927 Wm- ,,1 2 W , 'X .- .

TRACK AND FIELD SPORTS In the spring of the year the grounds of the school are filled with girls prac- tising the running high jumpg hop, step and jumpg running broad jump, basketball and baseball throws, and the fifty-yard dash. This terminates about the first of June in an inter-class out-door track meet consisting of these events and an inter- class relay race. Preliminaries are run off during class periods and then ten representatives of each class are chosen to compete in the finals, scoring individual points, the totals of which are credited to the class points. Thus we have individual and class com- petition. ' The first three places were held last year by Helena Leyden, Flora Mayer, and Lollie Wetmore, scoring 46, 425, 355 points respectively.

MEN'S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Although much in the minority in terms of numbers, the men of the school still continue to uphold the ideals and aims of the founders of the Men's A. A. And we undergraduates met for the purpose of organizing for the year .1926-1927. With our newly elected officers, the work of the Men's A. A. began. As our major sport is basketball, plans were started immediately for the coming season. Mr. Rockwell, who helped us greatly last year, again consented to coach the team. After a few practices, we were ready for our first clash with the Alumni. This game is always looked forward to with much interest, because at this time we wel- come back the alumni to renew old acquaintances. This year the alumni reunion included a dance after the banquet. For the amount of practice and in spite of the few men from which to pick teams, the vigorous, spirited behavior of our players was always shown to be clean and sportsmanlike. The organization owes much to Henry Garvey, Arthur Ingalls, and Jim Carlin for their leadership. We wish to extend our gratitude to the entire student body for their splendid cooperation in helping us meet expenses, Miss Wallace for lending the gymnasium for our games, our coach, Mr. Rockwell, for his efforts with our team, Mr. Sproul, our faculty manager, for his helpful advice, and lastly, our principal, Mr. Pitman, who is ever a friend to our organization.

In the study of physiology we find that the average human being should retire by ten in order to be in a fit condition to take up the work of the day. The boarding school students live up to the letter of the law. In behavior they are well trained by the time they reach the senior year, if they weren't before they came to school. They learn that it is not proper to run down the stairsg that Saturday afternoon at four is the best time of the week to take a bathg that it is most expedi- ent to go out in groups and to return by eleven: that smuggling is no longer in vogue, that it is best not to forget one's key: and that promptness at meal time is advisable. There are just enough girls in each house to make a small family group. It is, therefore, possible to entertain company at any time, or to feel free to use the telephone, the only stipulation in this being that telephone bills must not exceed 318370. You will find, if you become well acquainted with some of the roomers, that they are known by their sayings, just the way famous people are always known. Among our illustrious number we have some who frequently say, I haven't a thing done for today, I can't stand up very long because I get faint, In the bank where I worked, I think I shall wash my 17 pairs of stockings now, In the 'Fitchburg Sentinel' I read, I have to do some tutoring now. For good times the roomers certainly enjoy their full share. Each one shares her joy or her trouble with her housemates. In this way are made the friendships which last throughout the coming years.
