As freshies we led a gay year with theatre parties, a week-end party at Hampton Beach, picnic at Long Pond, and other interesting events. In our Easter egg-rolling contest imperishable honors were won by Mary Cronin and Barbara Thompson. We selected Miss A. Florence Kirby, as honorary member, to guide and direct us through the coming years and introduced our new advisor at a Christmas dancing party held in a yuletide setting at Lowell Teachers College ballroom. Our sophomore officers, with the loyal support of the class, put forth every effort to add to our glory and fame. We trust that there has been a deeper significance added to the word sophomore and that glory and prestige have been ours. We continued our frivolity with a theatre party, a costume party, a sojourn at Hampton Beach was held and to cap the climax a sophomore banquet was held with Mr. and Mrs. Weed, Miss A. Florence Kirby and Miss Grace Kendricks as guests of honor. We took this occasion to honor our president and Mrs. Weed and sang for the first time our Sophomore Hymn which was dedicated to him. Our history will grow upon our return in September for the Junior year at L.T.C. Sophomore Class Directory Alice Ackhoyd Thelma Annis .

THE KNOLL Soph omore ci ass President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Claire Cosgrove Ruth Mitchell Ruth McGarry Anna Rynne It has been fun to be along with you, Seniors. History in so far as we are concerned began with the advent of man. We are men, therefore, history began with us. On an ominous, dark day in September 1933 we, the most intelligent group of freshmen ever to enter Lowell Teachers College with all the wisdom of countless generations behind us, fearlessly knocked on the portals of that great institution. The fact that President Weed, not recognizing our importance, did not hasten to open the door personally, was not sufficient to lessen our optimism and self-confidence. We opened the doors ourselves and walked in. It has been impossible to close them against us since that memorable day. We quickly organized, deciding to hitch our respective fellow students to four stars. Therefore we elected Claire Cosgrove, president; Betty Stowell, vice-presi- dent; Ruth Kidder, secretary; Nellie Senften, treasurer. The latter successfully

With a tolerant and amused smile we remember ourselves at the initiation of our collegiate endeavors. The first of the year is only the memory of a rather hectic introduction. The first stopping point in our period of adjustment was marked by the Christ- mas bazaar. Under guidance, we were elated to find to what extent we had grown. The Scout table displayed our artistic growth; the novelty table, our originality; the household table, our salesmanship. With spasmodic success we weathered mid-years. When our reports arrived, we learned the veracity of the statement that A little learning is a dangerous thing. 30
