For ages uncountable I have been the silent guardian of Westfield and its river valley. From the Bible was I christened. From my rugged summit the eyes of Indian chieftains scanned the surrounding lowlands. I have stood unchangeable while wild animal creatures and untamed human life roamed up and down my valley. Sternly I watched the invasion of the white man, and my heart could find no love for him. But he conquered impassable ob- stacles — dense forests gave way to his homelike houses; the red men became his friends ; gleaming rails carried him fast across the miles ; the power of the river whirled his mill-wheels; delicate wires flashed his invisible message to waiting friends; schools educated his children that they might work more wonders in the ages to come. All this did I see the white man accomplish in the river valley. Slowly I grew to love the red man ' s white brother because of his mighty brain and creative power. Still I stand, the silent guardian of the valley and the town. Suns rise and set again; flowers blossom and fade away; tides wash in and go out to sea; human life hums and is still; but I — I am steadfast — and in my heart dwells love for the well-being of my valley. I am Mount Tekoa — the silent watcher. He built even Bethlehem, and Etam, and Tekoa. — II Chronicles 11:6. And Joab sent to Tekoa and fetched thence a wise woman. — II Samuel 14:2.

WALSH EVELYN WHITMORE 34 The continual humming in my ears had continued for some time while I stood in a vast open place in the center of the desert trying to locate whence it came. There were familiar things about it ; sometimes there was a shouting as of a crowd at victory; sometimes there was applause; sometimes I could hear a thin voice, loud enough to stand out among the others. Then the aeroplane hove into sight. The plane swooped lower and lower and I fell to the ground in fear of being hit. Only did I dare jump to my feet, when I saw emblazoned on the sides of the winged creature, 1928 . A flurry of papers flopped all about me. Eagerly I lifted my arms to receive them. All in vain I shouted to the plane as it disappeared among the clouds again. Then I knew — the spirit of the Class of 1928 had visited me. Had I thought I could isolate myself? I picked up one of the snap shots. Yes, there we were on our first day at Westfield. I wonder how many of us then realized what expressions of perplexity we were wearing that a short time in West- field Normal School soon cleared up for us — thanks to the Seniors, who escorted the vagrants to their quarters. What were the funny bows in the picture? Sure enough! Remember the green bows we wore for initiation. It all went well until Mary Farrell courtesied to a member of the faculty, mistaken for a senior. The other picture I held in my hand I at once recognized as the Getting Acquainted Party given us by the Seniors. At last the time had come when we could meet our superiors on an equal footing (initiation was over). We not only met other students but also the Training and Normal School faculties. The em- barrassing moments of a forgotten name! As fast as I could look at them the wind blew the past gems into my hand. If it wasn ' t the old Assembly Hall with the Juniors ' first attempt at organ- ization! Marie Cullen, president pro tem, led us through perhaps the Critical Period of our history. Mary Farrell! Doesn ' t she look natural? She was our first official class president. In her second year she became President of the Student Council. There are the other officers, Vice-President, Peg Carroll; Secretary, Edith Hemsworth; Treas- urer, Eleanor Shea. Our President was holding forth and planning great deeds for her class mates. But this aspiring class was ever to climb for success. The next picture will prove that. 35 Our first prom became a heated discussion which seemed to threaten the whole tranquility of affairs. This marked success began our upward climb and not with a little pride did we receive this favorable climax to our first crises. There were other pictures: — Mary Spelman, the runner up in the tennis tournament her Junior year, was the winner of the cup her Senior year. There was a Hockey Team which was de- feated as a Junior squad but victorious as Seniors. The Basketball Team was defeated, but the players were in top form and deserved credit; the Volley Ball Team was successful and played no small part in our sports. Katherine Sullivan, President of the Athletic Association, was the pride of our hearts as she led our way to Good Sportsmanship. I stopped to search for more pictures in the sand but I could find only a scat- tered few left. Mary Spelman, President, with Eleanor Shea, Vice-President, Peg Carroll, Secretary, and Edna Goodhind, Treasurer led us through a peaceful and success- ful year, of which the most important issue was the Senior Promenade. The success of our co-operation (an ever present cause of worry and accomplishment) has marked our names on the walls of the stately old Normal School. One would have scarcely recognized t he Assembly Hall after the transformation into an Ice Palace. The whole effect of ice and snow made the shivers run up and down one ' s back. How came the frost on the windows? Had it collected for the purpose? How did you like the snow man chorus? I looked at the next picture, laughed, held my sides, and laughed some more. It was getting near the end — back to our childhood days. (It was a first class baby show). We went in order that the Juniors might have a more worthy objective for 1929. That was Class Day. Vesper Sunday! You would have guessed it by looking at the expressions on our faces. Some had already begun to feel the pangs of parting acquaintances. There were two pictures left: Miss Lammers, to whom we should give our heartiest thanks for guiding us through our two years. If there was ever trouble, our charming Class Adviser always gave us unerring counsel. To her we owed the one debt we left unsettled after leaving Westfield. Finally, the solemn Graduation Procession when, diploma in hand, we walked no longer together. Some walked fast, some walked slowly, but we failed to keep together. To every angle of the earth we spread. But let us pray that our future history may be as bright as our past. Clouds of memory had overcast the sky. I gathered the gems in hand and started back to the house to meditate on old times. Ethel Harlow. ■ ■ Geography in the Park Square Bose Keilty: Are you Hungary? Ceil Lyons: Yes, Siam.

Article I — Ruth Mason leaves to Julia Brady the following motto: Strive for the heights; grow at least a foot a year. Article II — Marie Cullen and Ceil Lyons leave to any worthy Juniors, the secret of their ability to secure maximum results with minimum effort. Article III — Kay Sullivan bequeaths to her successor her ability in recognizing all worthy aspirants for W. A. A. emblems.

Article VII — To Mr. Hawley, a copy of rules and regulations for every student in his class who shows no team work, and will not play the game.

Article IX — To Mr. Patterson, a sufficient supply of boxing gloves for his entire class, that each pupil may fight out for herself those important civic problems. Article X — To Miss Lammers, the most heart-felt wishes that her future gym classes will embody all those deserving qualities which are so sorely lacking in our own: promptness for class, grace of movement in those folk dances, and finally, some scruples in taking inadverdently the well-fitting, ready-to-wear gym costumes of those thoughtful old souls who keep their lockers wide open. Article XI — To future students, standing invitations to attend those admirable lectures, held daily (after 3.00 p. m.) in the Commuters dining-room. Article XII — To the Juniors we leave our best wishes and hope that their efforts will at least help to assuage the grief which the faculty will feel at our grad- uation. Article XIII — To the Faculty, we leave our everlasting love and respect. Last of all we leave no hard feelings toward any person but fond memories of life at W. N. S. In witness whereof, We the Class of 1928, the testators to this our last Will and Testament, set our hands and seal on this the thirteenth day of June, in the year of our Lord, one thousand, nine hundred twenty-eight.

Berger 39 THE WESTFIELD CONFERENCE FOR YOUNG TEACHERS The first Conference for Young Teachers was held at Westfield last year as a result of the feeling of interest and responsibility for the adjustment of young teachers held by our principal, Dr. Russell, and our faculty. This experiment, the first of its kind, appears to be the solution to a problem long realized. The conference was intended originally for graduates of the State NoTmal School at Westfield in the Class of 1926, but the response of superintendents to the plan demanded that such an excellent opportunity for open discussion of mutual teaching problems should not be so restricted. Accordingly, other young teachers within a fifty mile radius were invited. Senior students who had completed their practice teaching went out as sub- stitutes during the week. On the first two days they prepared to take charge so that the graduates might spend the remaining days at the conference. There these young teachers discussed their problems with well-chosen leaders and ob- served the work of the master teachers of the Training School. Great desire for more time devoted to observation was expressed. Social pleasures were provided as time and opportunity allowed. At the same time the student substitutes were benefiting by seeing their own major difficulties as well as possibilities in teaching. The week as a whole was most educational and especially eventful to all con- cerned. As a result of this experiment future conferences will improve. More stress will be laid on phases of teaching than on phases of technique, and special needs, now known, will be supplied. More time for contemplation preceding the conference by leaders, graduates, and student substitutes will make possible greater achieve- ment. Therefore, we the Class of 1928, as well-wishers to the posterity of constantly advancing research, wish to commend all who have participated in the success of this experiment, and we ourselves hope, as must all who follow us, to aid the growth of the Westfield Conference for Young Teachers. The Voice of Nature Snowdrops raising dainty heads from the waken ' d ground, Violets opening drowsy eyes from their slumber sound, Is Mother Nature ' s way to say, Spring is on its way. Roses blooming wet with dew in the early morn, Rerries rip ' ning everywhere ; waving fields of corn, Is Mother Nature ' s way to say, Summer ' s come to stay. — G. E. Berger 40 FOREIGN VISITORS ' DAY It was with much curiosity that we looked forward to that day en which we were expecting a visit from a group of foreign students then studying at Teachers ' College, Columbia University. On March 14, 1927, our guests arrived in time for the opening of school to remain with us throughout the day. Their company during the entire visit was a most unique pleasure and one not soon to be forgotten. This group of students, about fifty in number, had been sent as representatives of their home government to Teachers ' College for the purpose of studying modern educational methods. They represented in all about thirty-one different countries among which were Hawaii, Japan, China, Poland, Palestine, Spain, France and Great Britain. One feature of their course was the touring of New England in order that they might study various typical educational institutions. They spent a week or more travelling by bus from one place to the next, visiting, among other colleges, Yale at New Haven, Wesleyan at Middletown, Mount Holyoke at South Hadley, and Massachusetts Agricultural College at Amherst. We considered it indeed, an honor that our school was selected as the one normal school which they chose to visit. Since these students came to see how a normal school is conducted, they were free during the morning to visit classes either in the Normal or the Training School. At noon they were guests for dinner served in the dormitory. We all met again at an afternoon assembly held for the students and the faculty. After hearing a few short speeches from several of the different representatives we spent the remainder of the period becoming better acquainted with our guests who proved to be most fascinating people. Every student and visitor wore a tag bearing his name in order that each one might be addressed during conversation by his or her own name thus lessening the feeling of restraint that is bound to arise between strangers. They were eager to learn how our school is governed, all about our school curriculum and our extra curricular activities at the same time telling us interesting little particulars about their own educational system and customs in their own countries. Cameras clicked busily and autograph books were swiftly passed from person to person. Before we realized it, the time had come for our guests to attend a tea given for them and the members of the faculty by Dr. and Mrs. Russell. At six o ' clock our visitors were again present at the dormitory for supper, and remained in the evening to attend the Induction of the House Committee, the student governing body of Dickinson Hall. Although we regretted that our visitors could not have been with us longer, we shall always look back with pleasure at that day which we all enjoyed together. ■b ■ • Cubic Feet Miss Tobey: What is wrong in your problem, Miss CooneyP Gert Cooney: I don ' t need the feet.

If you people would take notes in this class you might improve your marks. You may teach, M-i-s-s A little more co-operation from those girls near the rear of the hall. For tomorrow, study these mimeographed sheets and read these references. Just a little quiz. If I could only teach you to be consistent. I received the most fantastic answers in that last hygiene test. Quiet, girls, quiet. Well, what of it? Mr. Patterson: Mrs. Winslow: Dr. Wilson: Miss Tobey: Mr. Hawley: Miss Fickett: Miss Pratt: Miss Snow: Miss Lammers: Miss Zerbe: (As Students Would Have Them) Because of your attitude I ' ll desist from telling you of my children ' s pranks. Well, as long as you ' re cold, we won ' t raise the window. Don ' t bother taking notes. Write letters if you want to. I won ' t prolong the agony any longer, Miss. . . . may teach. I know this song isn ' t catchy, so you girls in back won ' t have to sing unless you wish. You won ' t remember what ' s on these mimeographed sheets, anyway, so never mind studying them. To be perfectly frank, this little quiz is really going to be a stiff exam. If you haven ' t your materials, you might as well talk to your neighbor. Your answers in the test were so fantastic that I ' m going to give you the same test again. I ' d rather hear you talk, than waste energy trying to teach penmanship. Doctor Russell: I do think you ' re right.

Student Mass Meetings have been held practically every week when the students have had the opportunity to express their wishes and offer opinions on any matter whatsoever concerning the school. A constitution has been drawn up by the Council which its members hope will serve as a useful guide to fundamentals of this school government for future Councils. Although the problem of a quiet Study Hall has been a difficult one, the Council has adopted a plan which, up to this time, has proved to be a salutary one. The main social event under the auspices of this group was a Student Council Prom held in April. During the three years the Student Council has been in existence in the school there has been no room, suitably fitted, in which this group might work. This year the Council has bettered this condition by raising money to furnish such a room. A Valentine Benefit Dance was held and other means employed, all of which were supported by the school. Throughout the year, we have tried to contribute to the advancement of Student Government in Westfield Normal School — to guide it on its way to the heights, to which we feel sure it will reach. To all future Councils we sincerely wish the greatest success. 50 STUDENT COUNCIL, 1928 The Student Council this year consisted of the following members : 1. President of the Council — Mary E. Farrell. 2. President of the Senior Class — Mary Spelman. 3. President of the Junior Class — Mary Holmes. 4. Chairman of the Social Committee — Margaret Hurley. 5. Chairman of Recreational Committee — Julia Brady. 6. School Treasurer — Doris Carruthers. 7. President of the Commuters ' Club — Mary Kenney. 8. Representative from House Committee — Catherine Sullivan. 51 HOUSE COMMITTEE The House Committee of Dickinson Hall has no standard motto by which it may be known, but the one that seems to predominate in every member ' s heart is Alta Petens, (seeking the heights.) The House Committee during 1928 was very successfully guided by its capable chairman, Doris Carruthers. This Committee is a group elected by the student body to promote student government in Dickinson Hall. It is a government for the girls, by the girls, under the sanction of our matron, Mrs. Locker, and Dr. Russell, our Principal who are much interested in the success of this committee. The House Committee proudly boasts of possessing a very cozy room, suitably furnished, in which their meetings are held weekly. The entire Committee consists of a Chairman, a Social Chairman, a Representative to the Student Council, a Library Chairman, a Secretary, and a Treasurer. The preceding officers are all seniors. Resides three Senior members at large, there are also three Junior members at large. This year the Committee voted that there should be two Senior members at large, one Senior to be made director of all clubs in the dormitory, and that a Junior member at large should be elected sub-chairman. The Committee met with many minor problems and with the co-operation of the students, they solved them very successfully. One big task accomplished was the revising of the constitution. Many meetings were held, and much work done to put the constitution on a firmer and better basis. While the committee worked faithfully and met with good results, there is yet much to be done. May future House Committees be as successful and as happy in their work as those of 1928. 52 PROGRESSIVE DICKINSON HALL Westfield! The train stopped with a jerk. Hastily I gathered my bags together and waited somewhat impatiently for the lady who had been my traveling companion to start out of the train. She was so slow and I was in such a hurry. Then she dropped a book. My eyes glanced down and met the familiar title Tekoa. Yes, different from our Tekoa, but nevertheless a Westfield Normal School year book. With new interest, I gazed at my companion. Somewhat hesitantly I spoke. I beg your pardon. Are you an alumna of W. N. S.P The face lit up. Why, yes, I am, and you an undergraduate? Proudly yet regretfully my response came. I am a senior there. I spoke again. Oh you ' re back for Triennial? Yes, back again. Yet only for a short time. You don ' t realize how much you are going to miss it. Didn ' t 1 realize it? Already the thoughts of graduating were filling me, not with joy as perhaps they should, but with sorrow — sorrow because I was about to leave the place which during my two years had become a part of me a larger part than I ever before had realized. Soon I should be returning as was this former grad and many others. Together Miss Bartlett and I walked up Elm Street, the same Elm Street that was so familiar to us both. She remarked on the many changes: the new Com- munity Building, the Bank, the Atheneum, and the Womans ' Club. Father Time had done well by Westfield. Finally we arrived at Dickinson Hall. How much we had enjoyed our chat. How many topics of the past and present school life were of interest to us both. Oh I ' m so anxious to see the old Dorm again ; every thing will look so natural. I ' ll almost believe that I ' m back at school again. Here ' s the little reception room. How different it is ! What beautiful mahogany furniture and the curtains. My, aren ' t your parlors attractively furnished? The divans are so luxurious and the lamps so pretty. When was the hall furnished? The furniture was here when we came but we added the curtains. Here ' s our library. The changes here are not so apparent; but if you examine the book shelves you will find many new and worthy additions. Now you must see the dining hall. There are curtains here too. How soft the lights are! May I just peek into one of the rooms? The rooms are all redecorated too. Well I should say that Dickinson Hall has changed. Of course it has. Our Dickinson Hall will always be changing. Every year there will be here a better dormitory than was ever here before. I believe you are right. However I suppose the same spirit exists around here. I should never dare to ask this question of a junior; but do you still put things over on the proctors? Proctors we have no proctors. No proctors. How do you have any house discipline without proctors? Dickinson Hall is now governed entirely by the students. The governing body consists of the House Committee that is elected twice a year by the students. Every girl is placed on her honor Sounds well in theory And has proved excellent in practice. A more friendly spirit could not exist 53 anywhere than does here. The House Committee makes such few rules as are neces- sary and every girl takes it upon herself to see that she abides by these rules. The House Committee members are the most popular and capable girls in the dormitory. That is by far the greatest step Dickinson Hall has taken. I should never have believed that student government could be carried on here successfully. How about your social activities? I imagine that they are about the same. Every Friday night there is something going on ; often a bridge, or a dance, and sometimes an entertainment. Of course we dance in the parlor every night except on club meeting nights. Club meetings? What kind of clubs? That is another contribution of ' 28. Our class has started dormitory clubs. There are at present four: a Literary, Current Events, Bridge, and Gym Club. Of course they are only in their infancy. If they progress as has everything else around here, they will soon be flourish- ing. So we expect. But you had seemed surprised at the many changes around here. I was. I realize that I should have known Dickinson Hall would change and become a better and bigger Dickinson Hall. Yet, you too, will be surprised at the changes when you return. Perhaps but I know that our school is in a transitional period. Do I expect that the dormitory will remain dormant while the rest of the school is changing? No indeed, I do not, nor does any one of us. We want Dickinson Hall to advance in all ways and every time we return we hope to see the best Dickinson Hall that has ever yet existed. Winifred A.

September 30, 1926 — This date marks the Get-Acquainted party. Each Junior was accompanied by a Senior who introduced her to the faculty. A play was presented and then a musical comedy skit. Dancing followed refreshments. The two classes of the Westfield Normal School were thus more closely united in friendship and understanding. On October 28, 1926, the students came to the Assembly Hall in masquerade costumes. Weird ghosts, cats, and pumpkins adorned the walls. After the grand march prizes were awarded to the little Dutch girl, Gertrude Berger, and the weirdest of witches, Lois Baker. After doughnuts and cider were disposed of, general dancing was enjoyed. January 8, 1927 — The Class of ' 27 presented one of the most delightful dances in the old Assembly Hall. The decorations were most attractive. Silhou- etted colonial dames framed in cameos adorned the walls, and big crepe paper hoop skirts covered the chandeliers. Mr. and Mrs. Hawley, Lorraine Shaw, the Senior president, and Mary Farrell, our Junior president, received the guests. How thrilled we Juniors were at this our first formal affair at W. N. S! April 22, 1927 — A never-to-be-forgotten night when the Juniors royally entertained the Seniors. The decorations were carried out in pastel shades, with a woven canopy as the feature attraction. Among our souvenirs we still have the mem pads which we received as favors. We took great pride in introducing our escorts to Dr. and Mrs. Bussell, Mr. and Mrs. Winslow, Lorraine Shaw, and Mary Farrell. June 16, 1927— Graduation Day and farewell to the Class of ' 27. September 14, 1927 — The Get-Acquainted party. Following the old cus- tom each Senior escorted a Junior and introduced her to the faculty. The Juniors displayed their many talents and eagerly co-operated to make the entertainment the huge success that it was. October 26, 1927, marks the date of the Hallowe ' en Party. A Ghost March through the halls opened the affair and resulted in cries of feminine fear. Florence Baker, as Miss Westfield, was winner of the costume contest. December 20, 1927 — Christmas Spirit prevailed at this our annual Christmas Party, when the dignified Normalites went back to childhood days, attending the affair in little boy and girl costumes. After the distribution of gifts, the Dra- matic Club presented a scene from Bird ' s Christmas Carol. Befreshments and general dancing concluded the program. January 7, 1928 — Now did the Seniors again prove themselves capable, by giving a delightful dance in the Assembly Hall. Icicles and snow glittered — a veri- table fairyland of crystals. Dr. and Mrs. Bussell, Mary Farrell, Mary Spelman, and Dorothy Walker received us. During intermission in danced a dozen little snow fairies to the delight of all. February 17, 1928 — The Valentine Party this year was in the form of a dance. The proceeds were used to furnish the Student Council Boom. This marked a new era in our social activities since it was the first dance attended by gentlemen with the exception of the three usual Proms. June 10, 1928 — Vesper Sunday — That impressive service in which we Sen- iors gathered to render thanks and to ask for guidance in the years to come. June 14, 1928 — Graduation Day — All too soon came the day that seemed so far away. Adieus and farewells to dear old Westfield Normal School. And so we, the members of the Class of ' 28, have ended our course with added knowledge, friendships, and everlasting memories of pleasant days at W. N. S. 56 THE ART CLUB Though organized but little over three years the Art Club has made much progress and its success has increased each year. The Club re-met this fall and many Juniors as well as Seniors were admitted to its membership, the student ' s art ability being taken into consideration before she was allowed to be a member. The next business was to choose competent officers. The following girls were elected: Nevartte Bedrossian, ' 28, president; Marion Lusk, ' 29, vice-president; Helen Jan uszwesld, ' 29, secretary; and Dorothy Walker, ' 28, treasurer. Under Miss Snow ' s supervision meetings are held every Monday at 3.05 P. M. The proceeds from the sale of articles are used to purchase other materials. The girls were kept busy during the fall term preparing for the Christmas Sale. Leather work, batik, and hand woven goods were new additions to the usual articles such as reed work, woodcraft, printed scarfs, handpainted Christmas cards, decorative flower pots, and vases. Attractive school stationery and W. N. S. banners were sold at the sale and during the year. The sale of school stickers for luggage was a new idea which met with great success. With such an efficient adviser as Miss Snow, who constantly works for the welfare of the Club, we feel confident that the Art Club will continue to progress and have all its undertakings successfully realized. 57 GLEE CLUB MEMBERS Director — Mr. Hawley President — Ardra Burke Vice-President — Vera Lynch Manager — Margaret McGill Pianist — Miss Gladys Pratt Secretary — Esther McGill Treasurer — Catherine Galpin Librarian — Anna Carrigan Nevartte Bedrossian Pearl Bennett Lora Bettinger Julia Brady Edna Burke Patricia Callahan Jennie Corrinet Victoria Cyran Cora Davis Louise Ferriter Grace Genest Eleanor Gillett Mary Holmes Hilda Horne Edna Hurst Helen Januszewski Mary Kenney Nellie Kosiba Marian Lusk Edith MacBrian Catherine Maher Barbara McClelland Catherine Mortyki Frances McGuire Irene Noble Edith Norton Marion Phillips Hilda Baymond Catherine Sotirion Hermina Sitnik Mary Spelman Doris Stedman Kay Sullivan Dorothy Willard 58 GLEE CLUB The Westfield Normal Glee Club is now in its eighth year of successful activity as one of the leading clubs of the school. Before being admitted to this Club great consideration is given to the vocal talent of every candidate. Entertainment has been furnished in the past in the form of musical operettas presented to both students and the public, among which have been Sylvia, Colleen, and The Bells of Beaujolais. This year the Glee Club presented a very interesting production called Zarah. The fact that both music and libretto were composed by Mr. Hawley, Music Instructor and Club Director, made the Club all the more proud of its work, and feel a greater personal interest in the affair. It was a musical comedy in two acts, the setting being an Arab encampment at the Oasis of Kamlin. Zarah, a dancing girl, is in love with the Shiek, who is planning to capture an American girl for ransom. Because of her jealousy, Zarah with the help of Mose, the colored com- edian, and his sweetheart, Kohar, prevents the capture. The Finale brings all the players on the stage where ensues the most exciting and welcome revelation of the fact that the Sheik is a wealthy Englishman who had been accused of stealing jewels and had escaped to Arabia. The Sheik is redeemed and returns to his old position with Zarah as his wife.

This group is a strongly organized unit of about one hundred girls working in particular to promote the interests of the Commuters and in general, for the interests of the school. At the beginning of the year, the following officers were elected: President, Mary Kenney; Vice-President, Margaret Hurley; Secretary, Kathleen Barry; Treasurer, Julia Brady. During its first two years the Club managed several commendable events, and this year has been no exception. The first event of the year was the Get-Acquainted Party, managed by Margaret Hurley and conducted by the Seniors. The affair was held in the Old Gym, Seniors initiating the Juniors. Following the entertainment, refreshments were served. A new feature of the Club was the box lunches brought on meeting day by the members and eaten at noon during the business meeting. An important part of the year ' s work was the drawing up of a new constitution. A very attractive Club pin has been chosen and a Club song adopted. In January, the Commuters ' Club gave a public minstrel show for the first time in its history. The program consisted of snappy end songs and jokes, ballads, novelty dances, specialty sketches, and a minuet. The members of the chorus in their crisp white blouses, yellow skirts, bandanas, and tams, presented a most attractive appearance. The entertainment was well received both at the school and at the Westfield Sanatorium where it was presented. At present, plans are being made for many much needed improvements in our kitchen. The Commuters ' Club has been an organization serving as a source of much benefit and keen enjoyment to every member. It is our earnest wish that future members will continue to enjoy it and make it one of the outstanding clubs of Westfield Normal School. • b b And Howl Mary is an obliging girl With really most delicious knees, She sits up in the foremost row To show off her abilities. ■b b b You Never Can Tell First Junior: Nellie ' s wandering in her mind.

The club is composed of both Seniors and Juniors selected for their ability in either debating or dramatics. This year, 1927-1928, a new scheme was successfully carried out. The club was divided into two factions, the dramatic and the debating. For each division a chairman of the program committee was elected for the entire year. Meetings were held every Thursday, one week in charge of the dramatic section, and the next week in charge of the debating section. Many delightful readings, debates, and plays were presented at the various meetings. Part of the first meeting of each month was devoted to business. Another new feature was the furnishing of a program for one assembly period every month by the Delta Omicron Alpha. As the club was late in getting organized, the first program presented to the school was in December. This was Figureheads, a delightful, light comedy, in charge of the dramatic faction. Later a debate was given, a prize-speaking contest held, and another play put on. At parties members of the club were always willing to render readings or present days. The great success of the club this year was due mainly to the untiring efforts of the following officers: president, Nevartte Bedrossian, ' 28; vice-president, Mary Kavanaugh, ' 29; secretary, Mary Walsh, ' 29; treasurer, Hilda Home, ' 28; chairman of program committee, debating, Doris Connell, ' 28; chairman of program committee, dramatics, Gertrude Berger, ' 28, May future years for AOA be as successful as 1927-1928 has been. 63 It ♦ 4LI, rx. .

The Senior members welcomed the new Juniors. The Club has proven even more successful this year than in former years. Local Clubs and Societies have invited the Club out to suppers, plays, and meetings to help furnish with the entertainment. When the Commuters ' Club had their minstrel the Mandolin Club played several numbers. We shall always keep with us the enjoyable memories of these trips. Another delightful time was had at our Christmas Party. Games were played, refreshments served, and presents distributed. The Mandolin Club owes its every success to the excellent leadership of Miss Tobey, who, being a capable musician herself, can very ably direct the Club. The Members of the Club are: Leader, Miss Martha Tobey Bells, Christine Kelliher Mandolins Katherine Lyons ' 28 Betty Halperin ' 28 Edna Hurst ' 28 Elsie Carlson ' 29 Charlotte Menzel ' 29 Saxaphone, Helen Henderson Pianist, Ardra Burke Violins Ida Odabashian ' 29 Lorraine Boss ' 29 Margaret Walsh ' 29 64  S£5I 65 Hjlj K I £ Z v V fl 4 IfV i Mb I I ' ■I 1 Hir l ; : :.. :: HB RBHHgHJB WOMEN ' S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Connected with and furnishing a worthy motive for all sports and other forms of physical recreation in this school is the Women ' s Athletic Association which held its first meeting for this year in October. At this time Dr. Russell, Miss Lammers, Director of Physical Education, and the officers of the organization spoke to the entire school renewing the interest of the Seniors and introducing to the Juniors the ideals, activities and importance of W. A. A. The purposes of this organization are first, to co-operate with the department of Physical Education in promoting a higher physical efficiency in all the girls of the school; and secondly, to stimulate and establish a permanent interest and the habit of participation in physical recreation. The officers of the association this year are: Katherine Sullivan, president; Mary Cuff, vice-president; Mary Spelman, treasurer; and Margaret Walsh, secretary. In connection with the activities carried on is a system of points whereby all students participating in any established sport or living according to a prescribed health program receive a specific number of points for so doing. These points are kept by the girls throughout the two years and emblems are awarded at the end of each year. A girl having 100 points gets a W. A. A. emblem; for 250 points she gets a W. N. S. emblem. Awards are also made for 500 and 1000 points. Much interest was aroused this year by the new banner made of blue felt with the word Westfield printed on it in large white letters. The points for this banner are divided among all the major activities of the year. Points are given for class participation in the sport and winning the first and second team games The class having the greater number of points at the end of the year will have its numerals placed on the banner. 66 BASKETBALL Basketball practice this year was started immediately following the Christmas vacation. Both classes responded to the call for candidates for the team, but the Juniors far outnumbered the Seniors. This was due mainly to the fact that one third of the Senior class was in training and therefore unable to attend. Those who did come out however are attending practices faithfully and it is hoped, by the Seniors at least, that the Class of ' 28 will win the basketball tournament this year. Last year, that is, when we were Juniors, the first team games both went to the Seniors. The second team game was won by our team. After basketball came volleyball. ' 28 was more successful with this activity and won all the games played. Then came tennis and baseball. At all times when they were not busy with studies the girls could be seen on the campus playing one or the other of these games. 67 Ll h 1 T 1 J ■1 B H 4 gL I ■ i ■ i Kl BC hM l I hi i ' J ; M m Kft UAl ■ ' ■ .

Both classes showed ex- cellent spirit and enthusiasm in this sport which is practically new at our schcol. On the first day of practice the two classes were well represented. Four practices a week, two for Seniors and two for Juniors, were held over a period of several weeks. At the end of this time teams were chosen and the games started. The first game went to the Juniors with a score of 5-2. This roused the Seniors and each one determined that the next game would go to her class. There was a long interval before the second game was played due to weather conditions, but the determination and ardor of the girls were not weakened. The Seniors won the second match which was a hard fought one from beginning to end. One of the Seniors broke under the strain during the third quarter and a substitute had to be put in in her place. The score came out 3-1 in favor of the Seniors. How excited the girls were! Each class had one game and the next game would be the final and decisive one. Every girl decided that her team would win. With both teams equally de- termined the last game began. The two sides seemed evenly matched during the first half and at the end of this time the score was 2-2. But immediately when the second half was begun the Seniors began to pile up scores and the Juniors were unable to overcome their lead. The game ended with the Seniors ahead 6-2. The games were well attended by members of both classes and the two teams were loudly applauded for their work. 68 JUNIOR HOCKEY TEAM The second team game was also won by the Seniors with a score of 1-0. Thus ended the second Hockey Season at W. N. S. with the Senior Class still holding the Championship. Senior Doris Carruthers, L. W. Mary O ' Connor, L. I. Margaret McGill, C. F. Eleanor Shea, R. I.

Tennis is one of the foremost in its advancement. This is shown in our school in which there were 28 entries in com- parison to 19 entering last year ' s tournament. The first round was to be completed Friday, September 30 at 5 o ' clock. The end of the second round was Tuesday, October 11 at the same time.

The finals took place Tuesday, November 22, Mary Spelman defeating Ethel Harlow (score 6-2, 6-0). This match made Mary Spelman tennis champion for 1928. 70 71 72 Ouch Gertie Berger: Why don ' t you get one of those New Haven hair cuts? Kay Sullivan: Something new in Yale locks?
