CLASS ODE

We hail thee, Alma Mater,

Thy name has ever stood

For service, truth and freedom

For love and human good.

One hundred years established

With progress as thy aim

Has spread to far off places

The honor of thy name.

A hundred classes praise thee

From earth to arching skies

In one great chorus singing

Their acclamations rise.

May hundreds more be added

May hundreds look to thee

In singing, Alma Mater

Our college—B. T. C.

DEDICATION

To Alice B. Beal, Supervisor of Training

from 1928-1940, and to Gordon L.

Reynolds, Teacher of Art from 1932 to

1939, whose leadership and service to

Bridgewater have established them as

people whose example we hope in some

measure to emulate, we respectfully dedi-

cate this book.

ALICE B. BEAL

Members of the faculty and student body regret that one of the most

popular instructors has left us this year. However, great pride is taken in the

fact that Miss Beat is an alumna as well as a faculty member and that she

was chosen for this position of State Supervisor of Elementary Education.

Miss Beal was educated in the Quincy public schools. Following her

graduation from Bridgewater in 1916, she attended New York University,

where she received her bachelor's degree and later studied at the Teachers

College at Columbia University and Harvard. She received her master's

degree cum laude from the School of Education at Boston University.

In 1927 Miss Beal came to Bridgewater where she has acted as director

of training for the past 12 years. She has witnessed the changing of this in-

stitution from a Normal School, where two and three year courses were given,

to a Teachers College which gave at first just the Degree of Bachelor of Science

in Education and in 1938 added the Master's Degree in Education. Inter-

ested in the extension courses which were started here at this time, Miss Beal

has been actively engaged in this work giving a course entitled "Trends in

Elementary Education."

It is for all this experience that we feel that Commissioner Downey could

not have chosen a better person than our Miss Beal to fill this new position

and we sincerely wish her unbounded success!

TO THE STUDENTS AT BRIDGEWATER

Mr. Reynolds taught in Stamford, Connecticut, after graduating from

Massachusetts School of Art. In 1932 he received his appointment at Bridge-

water where he became instructor in Fine Arts and Methodology of Art

Education, and Supervisor of Art for the Training School. Having done

graduate work at Columbia and Harvard in addition to this experience, he

merits his new position and has our best wishes for every possible success.

To us the students at Bridgewater, Mr. Reynolds leaves this message:

"Reminiscence has been made doubly justifiable at Bridgewater State

Teachers College by the coming of 1940. It is very significant to me as I

look back over the history of Bridgewater that the philosophy of the school

has been one of looking ahead and one of creativeness.

As we enter a new era we must constantly ask ourselves—Are we ready

for the changes that are coming? Some individuals remind us daily that the

life of our times is more complex and encompassing than life ever was before.

Such statements have undoubtedly been presented to youth for many years

past, but we should not lose sight of the fact that many new social and eco-

nomic problems have grown out of the machine age. Democracy and all of

its virtues are being attacked.

The challenge to the educator is not so much what tools does he have,

but how is he using them? Are we mastering the forms that have been given us

so that we are at ease with them or are we being mastered? Art today in

America is becoming of age and can be identified as truly American. The

teacher is learning that by creating, and by possessing a creative mind, he

can establish, and aid in establishing, a design in social structure to in-

sure a fitting organization of people. This organization will be in terms of

work and leisure. A true knowledge of art with all its diversified channels

of expression will make possible the establishment of a sense of values.

We Americans have the reputation of going farther and more rapidly than

any other people. To what end?"

GORDON L. REYNOLDS

ALMA MATER

1.

Within thy life we grew;

The task you set we knew:

To bum thy beacon bright,

Where fail the rays of light.

Chorus

O Alma Mater, thy children strive

To keep thy faith alive

O Alma Mater, we sing for thee

This song of loyalty.

O Alma Mater, thy voice alone

Will guide in paths unknown.

2.

Within thy life we sang

Of love and peace that rang

Throughout thy sounding halls

Now memories in thy walls.

3.

Beyond thy life we raise

Thy worthy name in praise

Where e'er we chance to be

We'll honor B. T. C.

FOREWORD

Since ours has been the privilege of graduating on the one hundredth birthday

of this college, we have endeavored to make this book worthy of the honor.

As this college has expanded and become richer through the guidance and ex-

perience of capable leaders, so each one of us has grown from his four year contract

with it.

If this book will serve as a reminder of the leaders, friendships, and experiences

both cultural and social, which you have enjoyed here, the Alpha Board will have

accomplished its aim.

APPRECIATION

Here may we express our appreciation to those people who have contributed

in any way to the production of our yearbook: to

Miss Davis, who has given us so much practical advice and has now turned over her

duties to,

Miss Vining and Dr. Maxwell, our new advisors, who have given so generously of

their time and guidance at our meetings,-

Miss Nye, for making ours a more modern book, and to

Miss Pope, for her valuable financial assistance.

FIRST GRADE

In the First grade,

They are learning about trees.

They have drawn

Scrubby, witch-broom trees,

long, pale trees without branches,

and scribbly, spinach-like trees

without form.

The teacher points out the window,

And the children see that trees

are sky skitterers, cloud-tall.

They see glistening progression

from trunk to twig

As if someone had designed

it cunningly.

They see autumn leaves scrambling

and fumbling.

MARY ALLENTaunton

Science Club 3, 4,- Topics of the Day Club 2, 3; Hobby Club 2, 3; Women'sAthletic Association.

Mary participates enthusiastically in activities and field trips sponsored by

Science Club and catches up on current events in Topics of the Day Club. Apassion for all things mathematical and scientific is balanced by a love for sports.

Afternoons find her out on the hockey field with her pals, knocking the hockey

ball around and doing very well, too. Mary is deliberate in manner, persevering

in carrying out her undertakings, and serious in her plans for a teaching career.

MARY ANDREWSBrockton

Newman Club 1 , 2, 3, 4; Women's Athletic Association.

Sparkling black eyes always on the alert to catch the latest dance step

or the latest bit of news, is Mary, a devotee of Dudley's. College and studying

are really very serious to Mary although very few know it. Mary makes and

keeps friends through her steadfast loyalty, her frankness, and her sincerity.

Her willingness to enter into all kinds of fun can be measured in noting the fact

she has turned down only one challenge. How about it, Mary—anytime you're

ready!

JEANNE BATHOHyde Park

French Club 1, 3, 4; Women's Athletic Association.

Jeanne's interest lies mainly in "la belle langue," and she does speak it

beautifully. Majoring in French, she aims to keep the scholarship and enthusiasm

high in Room 34. Mardi Gras committees find her an active member supplying

many original suggestions. Jeanne delights in confusing us by contributing ideas

at a much greater rate of speed than our rate of comprehension.

RUTH BISSETT

Quincy

Glee Club 1; Topics of the Day Club 4; Hobby Club 1; Women's Athletic

Association.

Remember that diminutive couple which was ever-present in the gym noons?

Ruth was the blonde. Dancing is just one of the things that she does and does

well—she sings, swings a mean tennis racquet and still finds time to keep her

average well above the average. Extra curricular has found her to be an enthus-

iastic participant, keeping well abreast of the times in Topics of the Day and

discovering how she may make worthy use of leisure time in Hobby Club. With

interests as diversified as these, Ruth will always be able to adapt herself to any

new situation.

Page 24

MARJORIE BOUNDYBelmont

Dormitory Council 3, 4,- Vice-President of Dormitory Council 4; Newman Club

2, 3, 4; Glee Club 4.

When you go to bed and find a pie bed or wake up to an alarm at 2.00 a.m.

disregard the innocent stare in her eyes—it was Marge all right. With an even

temper and an ever-present smile, Marge is always ready for fun. What with

her practical jokes, her frequent trips to Brockton and her dashing to classes,

life for her is as varied as it is disconcerting.

PRISCILLA BOWLEYRandolph

Kindergarten-Primary Club 1,2; Camera Club 4; Women's Athletic Association.

A love of reading and a retentive mind have formed Priscilla's background

of valuable information. She takes advantage of the college activities which

meet her interests, and makes the most of them. Her quiet unassuming manner

and voice seem to reflect her inner personality. She saves her grand sense of

humor for her intimates among whom is the inseparable Mercia.

FLORENCE BRADSHAWSomerset

Basketball 1, 2, 3; Kindergarten-Primary Club 1.

Among the best-dressed seniors, Florence rates high, and can proudly say

that she makes most of the good-looking outfits which she wears. Very artistically

inclined, she can often be found in the art room putting the finishing touches on

some handwork. Her interests do not all pertain to art, however, for during the

four years, Florence has been an active figure on the basketball and tennis courts.

Doing so well in so many fields, we feel that she must have profited from that

freshman course on how to budget one's time well.

ANNETTE BREENBelmont

Editor of Alpha 4; Assistant Editor 3; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Choir 1, 2, 3, A,

Dormitory Council 3; Newman Club 1, 2, 3, 4.

Who can spend more time listening to Artie Shaw's recordings than Pat?

Our editor is a versatile person, who startles her tables by long discussions on the

Embargo Act while flipping spoons into glasses. The debonair Patricia presents

an amasing combination of frankness and tact. Pet aversion? Hypocrites!

She dislikes all compliments even when they are sincere, strangely enough:

add to this a large cup of high ideals, mature judgement, and understanding, and

that's Pat—a truly genuine person!

Page 25

JANICE BRENNANSpringfield

President of Dormitory Council 4; Dormitory Council 3, 4; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4;

Library Club 3, 4; Campus Comment 4; Dramatic Club 3.

"Everything is relative" is the philosophy of our Dorm Council president.

Remember that freshman who wore the flashy red pajamas? That sophomore whobegan to "study her program" at 10.15? The junior who spent an hour trying to

light an oil stove without success? That dignified senior who wanted to look

academic in her cap and gown? All these are Jan—a typical Irish colleen with

a smile that won't come off—cute—carefree—coy.

MYNETTE BRIODYTaunton

Women's Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4.

With the serenity befitting a senior, Mynette calmly takes life as it comes in

the classroom. Outside, and with the proper environment, she is ready for fun

and nonsense. Her personality is as unruffled as her neatly kept hair, and she

talks very slowly and fixes her eyes on you very seriously as she talks or listens.

She's always ready, willing and able—with the ink eradicator!

FRANCIS CALLANBrockton

Dramatic Club 2, 3; President 4,- Newman Club 3, 4,- Men's Athletic Association.

Francis has led the Dramatic Club through another successful year. Not

only officially, but through his many character portrayals, he has done much to

raise the level of amateur theatrical performances at B. T. C. His interests lie

not only in the production of the drama but also in creating it, having just com-

pleted a clever three act play. We shall always remember Miss Hill asking

Francis to account for his tardiness in our senior Lit. class! It was then we dis-

covered that Literature was not only his interest.

IDA CARDOZATaunton

Hobby Club 2, 3; Topics of the Day Club 2, 3, 4,- Women's Athletic Association

Representative 3.

Scientific minded, Ida has spent most of her four years at B. T. C. in the biol-

ogy lab or studying formulas for chemistry. She is one of the library's best book

borrowers, reading everything from methods books to the Arts. She does this

reading to give herself a better liberal arts education which she thinks she would

not get otherwise. Easy going but sure of what she wants she has gone about

getting it in an admirable way.

Page 26

MERCIA CARTERNew Bedford


Soft-spoken and unobtrusive, nothing ever seems to bother Mercia. Alwaysready for excitement and fun, she and her friends have been "pillars" at all

of our school dances. Emphatic and decisive when she expresses an opinion

she usually ends by laughing it off. As conductor of the New Bedford Express

she has rattled, shivered, and shaken with it but has worn real well!

BERNARD CASTLEMANQuincy

Men's Athletic Association.

Coming to us from Colby, Bernie joined us to get his B.S. degree and to

add much fun and wisdom to our classes.

"Cassy" is a regular man about town. Vibrating with personality, he can

tell a joke with a flavor all his own. Ready to oblige at all times, he often

converted his sport sedan into a free taxicab especially for dorm students.

RUTH CHADWICKEast Bridgewater

Day Student Council 4; First Vice-President 4,- Women's Athletic Association

1,2,3,4.

Ruth's easy-going manner, both wins friends and gets things done. She has

a keen interest in athletics, especially basketball and has supervised that sport

in our Junior High School for two years. Active in day student affairs, dancing

noons in the gym, and talking of California and Swifts Beach (which we know is

grand for house parties) are just some of the activities which have occupied so

much of Ruth's time for the last four years. Her capacity for friendship, her dignity

and her ever-present smile help to make her one of the most popular seniors.

VIRGINIA CHAMBERSEverett

Orchestra 1, 2, 3; Glee Club 1, 2, 3; Women's Athletic Association.

To those who know her well, Ginny's a tease, a captivator, and a teller of

tall, lively tales. To those of us who do not know her so well she's correct, a

little haughty, and unafraid to stand up for her rights. She is a musician of high

standing, winning praise as accompanist of the orchestra. Ginny used to join

lustily in singing the "Song of the Marines," but now she has changed her tune,

huh Ginny?

Page 27

ALICE COLEPlympton

Women's Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Accompanist for Men's Glee Club 3, 4.

Alice's spontaneous giggle wipes away the worries that sometimes intrude

themselves on her, but never last long. A keen interest in other people makes

her sympathetic with their troubles. Her voice has been used to swell the ranks

of the Glee Club while her musical interests are extended to include accompany-

ing the Men's Glee Club for two years.

GERALD CONNORWatertown

Alpha 3, 4; Assistant Photographer 3; Photographer 4; Men's Athletic Asso-

ciation.

Easy-going, but sure of what he wants, Jerry has gone about getting it in

the shortest way possible. With little apparent effort, he has surmounted any

obstacle presented by the science and geography departments and found time

to manage the photography for Alpha. Possessing great ability as a speaker

and conversationalist, Jerry was the orator representing the student body at

our First Centennial program. With such qualities as these, Jerry is bound to

reach the top in a few strides.

CLAIRE CURRANNorwood

Library Club 2, 3; Technical Editor of Campus Comment 1, 2, 3, 4; Kindergarten-

Primary Club 1, 2, 3/ President 4.

Claire takes her life, studies, and work very seriously. She enjoys reading

with true appreciation and can express her tastes with genuine critical insight.

She goes about all her work with a quiet efficiency. Among her friends Claire

often sheds her cloak of seriousness and displays a fun-loving spirit and even

occasional bursts of wit.

PHYLLIS DALYRandolph

Kindergarten-Primary Club 1, 2; Women's Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4.

College and studying to Phyl are very serious, but she'd rather you didn't

know it. Soft-spoken, yet deliberate, she is friendly and easy-going. She's

easily flustered, quick to giggle, and takes a joke good-naturedly; then resumes

her calm. To the perpetual surprise and amusement of herself and her gang, Phyl

changes her mind as quickly as she makes a decision.

Page 28

RUTH DAVISWestport

President of Woodward 4; Kindergarten-Primary Club 2, 3, 4.

Coming to us from Hyannis in her sophomore year, Ruth found the Woodgirls "tops," until her senior year when she was elected to keep them from going

astray. It was then she learned that one "can't judge a book by it's cover!"

For diversion from this great problem, Ruth joined the ranks of the modern dance

group and became an active participant of the Kindergarten-Primary Club.

Did you find this age easier to handle, Ruth?

MARY DeCOSTEQuincy

Topics of the Day Club 2, 3, 4; Dramatic Club 4; Hobby Club 1

.

Dark hair, always in a modern "up-do" and sparkling teeth, together with

her bright clothes give Mary a colorful appearance. Argumentative and loqua-

cious, she adds worthwhile spice and vigor to any class discussion. An operator

ol the Quincy bus to Bridgewater, is just one of the extra-curricular activities in

wh.ich Mary has been engaged; the one which perhaps has taken the most time

is tile correspondence course which has been carried on between here and the

University of Maine! Is that right, Mary?

SAMUEL DEICHDorchester

Menorah Society; Treasurer 2, 3; President 4; Lecture Fund 3, 4; Camera Club 4;

Men's Athletic Association.

Remember the Alumni Building Fund? the thermometer on the Ad. build-

ing? the chapel program which aroused so much enthusiasm? Sam, having

proved himself indispensible as a committeeman, was an enthusiastic supporter

of this enterprise and worked untiringly for its success. We are indebted to him

for the many fine speakers we heard while he was head of Lecture Fund, and for

the organization of the Menorah Society here, of which he was president this

year. Sam's even temper has carried him through many difficult situations andpromises to take him far.

French Club 3, 4; Newman Club 3, 4.

JOSEPH DEVITTBoston

French Club should certainly be grateful to Joe for following the road to

Bridgewater for few people have been so faithful to any organization as Joe has

to this one. Quiet, unassuming, a very good student, Joe has contributed well

to all class discussions and what he has to say is always well worth listening to.

Page 29

BARBARA DOBBYNQuincy

Treasurer of S. C. A. ; Assistant Treasurer of S. C. A..: Treasurer of Class 2;

Women's Athletic Association Representative 1; Camera Club 4; Newman Club2,4-

"Sweet personality—full of rascality." Keeper of high finance, Barbarahandles money with a twinkle in her blue eyes which belies her efficiency. Recog-nized by her sincerity and naive manner, Barbara's infectious laughter lightens

every classroom. She is hostess to the famed Rocky Point gang and the smaller

half of that "Barb-lrm" combination which is found in all B. T. C. enterprises.

HELEN DOBBYNNew Bedford

Women's Athletic Association.

There are a few individuals who don't realize their own worth. Helen is

like that. She is generous, sincere and always ready to help in any way possible.

Maybe the fact that, while proctor on Tilly third, she tucked in a certain freshman

every night, is a clue to her real personality.

GENEVIEVE DOHERTYCambridge

German Club 3, 4; Second Vice-President 4; Choir 3, 4,- Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4;

Glee Club 4; Newman Club 3, 4.

Good natured and carefree, Gen is perhaps one of the best known and best

liked girls in the class. Full of nervous energy, she seems to do her best work

under pressure. In responsible and love-free moments, Gen can be found on the

stage of Horace Mann playing to perfection the leading roles in Miss Low's

productions. After day-hopping for two years, Gen found the discipline and

restrictions of "dorm" life rather confining but she soon entered into the spirit

of the game and senior year found her leading the "Wood" girls part time.

CATHERINE DRUMMEYEast Braintree

Women's Athletic Association,- Garden Club.

One of the more diminutive members of the class, Kay is an excellent

hockey player and all-round sport. She may be included among the ardent,

supporters of noon-time dancing. Although she needs coaxing to really laugh

she has a hearty giggle that brings tears to her eyes. Kay is really a farmer at

heart and can give you the latest information on Rhode Island Reds, Plymouth

Rocks and incubators, but never counts her chickens before they're hatched.

Page 30

JOHN DZENOWAGISBridgewater

Soccer 1, 2, 3, 4; Track 1 , 2, 3, 4; Manager of Basketball 4.

Small bur mighty, as evidenced in the jobs he has tackled here, John's

desire to resemble Atlas took him daily to the gym during the winter months.

To really appreciate a fellow like John, you must have known him (or years,-

seen him (all asleep with his nose in a book, being suddenly awakened at the

five minute bell with that surprised expression on his (ace—or just eating a goodmeal! He is one of the (ew classmates who really enjoy living.

ELSfE ESTEYCanton

Class Representative 3; Women's Athletic Association.

Serious and intelligent Elsie shines in the social sciences. Not satisfied with

the minimum requirements of her courses, Elsie does much intensive reading and

enriches class discussions with her comments. She has a very sincere interest in

the welfare of mankind, past and present. Strong, well-built, Elsie represents

the masculine type of sportswoman—the hard worker who is more interested in

the world than in herself.

ELIZABETH FAHEYTaunton

Science Club 3, 4; Newman Club 2; Hobby Club 1, 2; Women's Athletic Asso-

ciation.

That Mary is one of Science Club's most ardent supporters, is truly evident.

To the club's field trips around campus or at Wood's Hole, she contributes manyan interesting and worthwhile bit of knowledge. Benefits reaped from scientific

study are evidenced in an examination of her accurately organized and inspir-

ingly neat class notes.

RICHARD FARRELLBridgewater

Dramatic Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Vice-President 4; Newman Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Men'sAthletic Association Treasurer 2.

Dick has long been popular with his classmates for his capabilities which

range from first class soda jerker to excellent performer in the productions of the

Dramatic Club. The smile that won't come off and an infectious laugh are in-

dispensible to the Dick we all know. Cheerleading at the basketball games andthe ardent support he has given to Newman Club depict his versatility which

is bound to take him places.

Page 31

JORDAN FIOREFall River

President of Men's Glee Club 4; Circulation Manager of Campus Comment;

Chapel Committee; Topics of the Day Club.

As president of Men's Glee Club, Jordan was able to exercise his dis-

criminating tastes in music. Every other week he could be found in the rotunda

passing out copies of Campus Comment. Interested in creative writing, he took

great delight in portraying interesting moments in the lives of such great authors

as Thomas Chatterton and E. A. Poe. As chairman pro-tern of chapel committee,

Jordan prepared a particularly enjoyable and instructive group of programs.

Exercising an efficient manner in every enterprise, Jordan is sure to have a suc-

cessful future.

OLIVE FISHER

East Braintree

Hobby Club; Women's Athletic Association.

Olive is a girl of many phobias and worries for she shares the burdens of all

her friends' troubles. She is known for her good nature and kind-heartedness as

well as her dependability, conscientiousness, and punctuality. Olive is an ex-

cellent cook as all the "Rocky Pointers" will testify. Her greatest weakness is

rolls and biscuits and to this the "Rocky Pointers" will also testify.

ELIZABETH FOSTEREast Sandwich

Library Club 4; Women's Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4.

An apparently studious girl who does her playing at home week-ends.

Hostess to many week-end parties and midnight feasts. Bets has made herself

very popular with the "third floor gang." She has a pleasing personality, nice

clothes and a keen sense of humor. One secret of her success is that she takes

good notes, can read her own writing, and uses the notes. Dark hair, always

well groomed, sparkling teeth and good-looking clothes make Bets an out-

standing member of any group.

BARBARA FREEMANBridgewater

Topics of the Day Club 4; Women's Athletic Association.

Sensitive, talkative, positive, Barbara enthusiastically enters into whatever

the college has to offer, both curricular and extra-curricular. She was even able

to combine her journalism course with practice teaching, a feat which no one

else accomplished (successfully). If you'd like to discover her unprofessional

side, ask her what Robert Taylor means to her (and we do not refer to her in-

veterate movie-going)!

MURIEL GAMBLEBrockton

Hobby Club 1,2, 4; Topics of the Day Club 2, 3, 4,- Dramatic Club 4; Day Stu-

dent Council 1

.

Deliberate in speech and action, Muriel has obligingly kept the Topics of

the Day Club well informed on political events. Her efforts devoted conscien-

tiously toward getting the most out of her college education have earned this

robust young lady commendable results. Efficiency-plus best describes Muriel

who is capable and orderly and greets all with a friendly smile. w

ANNE GARVEYBrockton

Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4,- Newman Club 4,- Science Club 4; Camera Club 4; Women'sAthletic Association.

Her frank, dark eyes and sudden grin show that Anne's nature is impulsive,

generous and humorous. Having musical ability, she plays both the violin and

viola, and she is invaluable to the orchestra. Her interests range from mathematics

and athletics to the raising of fox terriers, and it is our guess that Anne's summers

will be spent in caring for fox terriers.

IDA GOERGEWrentham

Topics of the Day Club 1,2, 3, 4; Scholarship Committee 3, 4; Chairman 4

A great interest in sports, especially archery, does not interfere with Ida's

class work which proves that she merits the position of Chairman of Scholarship

Committee which she has so ably filled this year. She has added much merriment

to Wood this year by moving in and soon making herself one of us. Weighingher words carefully, she speaks deliberately and with assurance and what she

speaks is always well worth listening to. Is it any wonder that she is such a

welcome visitor on first floor?

IRENE GEORGEHolbrook

Hobby Club 3, 4; Topics of the Day Club 4; Kindergarten-Primary Club 1

.

Meticulous and conscientious, Irene is friendly but reserved. Her calm is

seldom upset but she has the courage of her convictions which she has arrived at

after thoughtful consideration. Irene is the girl whom you met when you wer3

looking for Miss Beal; between keeping Miss Beat's books and tending to her

own so successfully we feel sure that there is an enviable future in store for her.

ZENON GERRYBrockton

Topics of the Day Club 2, 3, 4; Newman Club 4; Camera Club 4.

Zenon is an agriculturist at heart, having raised many prize-winning crops!

However, Zenon is not an uninformed "farmer." His classmates soon realized

his knowledge of current affairs and elected him to lead them in the Topics of the

Day Club. Interested in unusual shots, Zenon was an active member of the CameraClub and made many contributions to the progress of this club. Outspokenand possessing decided opinions, Zenon can talk to anyone and everyone with

the greatest of ease.

ELIZABETH GIBSONGloucester

French Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Newman Club 1, 2, 3, 4.

An inherited love for "ships that sail the sea" is the basis for Bett's most

spirited conversation. She seems a retiring person, but she proves herself the

possessor of varied interests as she capably reports the technique of French Gram-

mar or serves a delicious dejeuner on short notice. A worthwhile example of

study energy and enthusiasm is this girl from the North Shore.

ELEANOR GRUNDBERGStoneham

Dormitory Council 4; French Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Campus Comment 4; Camera Club 4

"Grundy" is an avowed progressive, interesting and interested in living

She is a sound critic and possesses a keen sense of values. Her interests are many

and varied including journalism, books, and tennis; she is not destined to be an

accomplished figure-skater, however! Quietly and easily she has surmounted

all obstacles with which she has met, thus predicting a successful future for herself.

DOROTHY HANNONBrockton

Women's Athletic Association; Newman Club 1, 2, 3, 4.

Dot seems to have been born with a horseshoe around her neck. She is full

of nervous energy and does her best work under pressure. Good-natured and

carefree and an ever present figure at noon-time dancing, she is perhaps one of

the best known and best liked girls in the class. Dot has no worries that anyone

has been able to discover. Her one aim in life is to enjoy it to the fullest, and she

always succeeds.

M. PATRICIA HARRINGTONWeymouth

Assistant Treasurer of Day Student Council 4; Newman Club 1, 2, 3, 4,- HobbyClub 2, 3.

Pat is everybody's friend and a friend to everybody! With all the worries

that are hers we wonder how she keeps that very youthful look. If your alarm goes

off at five in the morning, or you skid down the hall into a puddle of water, dis-

regard the innocent stare on Pat's face— it was she! And who would want to

study when she could do things as exciting as that instead? Pert and peppy,

she sports the snappiest of college clothes and an individual haircut for that cop-

per head of hair. Her personality can be summed up in the words pleasing,

agreeable and amiable.

GEORGE HARRISPalmer

Men's Athletic Association,- President of Men's Club 4.

Efficient manager of the school store for three years, George can recall

almost every book which he has in stock. His dramatic ability has been proven

in many of Miss Low's productions and as president of Men's Club, Georgeshowed us what good leadership was. With a good natured, yet serious, per-

sonality George has made many friends and given many valuable contributions

to our college and we wish him the success in future years that he helped bring

Bridgewater while he has been with us.

EUNICE HARRISONWestport

President of Tillinghast 4; Vice-President 3; Dormitory Council 1 , 2, 3, 4; S. C. A.

3; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Camera Club 4.

As head of Tillinghast, Eunice has had a chance to show her qualities of

leadership. A girl who practices what she preaches, she set a good example

of seniority to the freshmen. It was under her guidance that "Till" won the Campus

Sing Banner for the first time in many years. Eunice never hurries, being one of

those serene persons Doctor Arnold speaks of. "Slow but steady wins the race"

must be her motto. After being one of Mr. Durgin's favorite mathematicians

Eunice is well prepared to instruct Westport students in the task of finding the

square root of a number.

ROSALIE HATCHFIELDWhitman

Topics of the Day Club,- Hobby Club.

Her naive serious expression camouflages the merry, fun-loving nature

beneath. She worries about minute incidents and lightly dismisses catastrophes.

Her gullibility is responsible for her being subject to much plaguing. The two

topics most annoying to Rosalie are her appetite and her heavy auburn hair,

and because of these we have much opportunity to see her good-naturedness

which probably explains her wide circle of friends.

Page 35

AGNES HIGGINSWhitman

Hobby Club 2, 3, 4; Treasurer 3; President 4; Chairman of Handbook Com-mittee 3, 4.

Agnes' conscientious willingness not only make her a good student but give

her much worth as a committee member, club officer, etc. All Agnes' willingness

isn't directed toward work; she is just as successful in having a good time. Asense of humor that expresses iteself in dry witty remarks keeps her friends smiling

with appreciation.

BARBARA HOWESStoughton

Hockey 1, 2; Soccer 1, 2; Hobby Club 4.

A love of reading and a retentive mind have formed Barbara's background

of valuable information. She takes advantage of all that college offers to satisfy

her interests. We hear that she has a grand sense of humor but she saves it for

her intimates! Quiet, reserved, and assured in classes, Barb is a flash on the hockey

field whether playing or organizing.

ELWOOD JENNESSNatick

Men's Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4/ Men's Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4.

Woody is the boy who has "thrilled" the Wood girls at Christmas time with

his rendition of the "Boar's Head." He's the sparkplug of a stag party, of politi-

cal maneuvers in campus organizations and of the latest prank or gag. He

completes the quartet of Nickerson, Randall and Harris, who have been the

leaders in our class through all four years, and look as if they are not going to

stop now.

HELEN JUDGEBrockton

Secretary of S. C. A.; Women's Athletic Association; Board Day Student

Council 3; Topics of the Day Club; Dramatic Club.

That lovely dark-haired miss whose beauty and charm won for her the coveted

title, Queen of the Mardi Gras. Probably one of Helen's outstanding accom-

plishments (?) while at Bridgewater is her success in being able to interpret

"Thanks for the Memory." Wonder if she ever wrote a song "Pocketbook,

Pocketbook, Where Are You?" Smooth clothes and a dynamic personality

make our S. C. A. Secretary a predominant figure on the campus.

Page 36

ANNE KELLEYQuincy


If you see a pair of laughing Irish eyes topped by a most original hair-do,

it's probably Anne hurrying to her next class which started ages ago. Active

in school affairs, optimistic in outlook, she is a blessing to have about. Surpris-

ingly emphatic, her tolerance might label her a paradox—but the most pleasing

one ever. There is nothing like Anne's giggle to stir one from depths of despair.

A welcome addition in the Dorm for eight weeks, Anne made a host of laughing,

appreciative friends.

ESTHER KELLEYBridgewater

Women's Glee Club 1 , 2, 3, 4; President 4; Chapel President 2, 3, 4.

Unaffected and gently good-natured, with a quiet way of getting big things

accomplished is our president of Glee Club. Esther's genuine appreciation of

the finer things in life is proven just in the way she knows music and touches those

keys! We'll al' remember her accompanying us at our Pop's concert in '39; it

was colossal! Here's predicting a successful musical career for you, Esther.

MARTIN KILLORYBrockton

Class President 2, 3, 4; Newman Club 2, 3, 4; Baseball; Track.

Such phrases as "I suppose you are more interested in hearing what 'I'

got out of the trip instead of what the trip got out of me," make Martin a welcome

member of any group! Our class president for three years, he has shown us the

quickest way to get the most done and his subtle humor has enlivened the most

boring discussions in every class. Unpredictable is the word that can best describe

his personality, and that is what makes him such an interesting person. Along

with other abilities, he is a keen mathematician and has helped Mr. Durgin solve

his problems more than once!

JANICE KIMBALLEast Walpole

Division Representative 2; Second Vice-President of Women's Athletic Associa-

tion 4; Dormitory Council 4; Kindergarten-Primary Club 1, 2; Library Club 3, 4.

Kim's ready smile and friendly thoughtfulness have made her a leader in

class, dormitory, and W. A. A. activities. Her blond halo and vivacious manner

make her a bright spot in any group. Her slender grace has made her an excel-

lent leader of modern dancing. Despite much excited and self-deprecatory

raving Kim always does well whatever task is set before her.

Page 37

GERTRUDE KINGHaydenville


We commend Gertrude for her great courage and for her strong determina-

tion in overcoming obstacles. A faithful student of creative writing, Gertrude

was invited this year to join a nation-wide poetry contest, the winners to have

their works included in a book of representative poems. She can always be

counted on to contribute an original criticism, and Miss Dow acknowledged her

originality even in a History of Art quiz. In the dormitory, ready for any witti-

cism, is sheer flattery.

STEPHANI KONRADEast Weymouth

Sketch Group 3,- Women's Athletic Association 1, 3, 4.

Stephani is one of our more serious-minded and conscientious classmates.

A commuters' chauffeur, her car is always jammed to the roof with Weymouthites.

She has been with us only three years, her sophomore year being spent at San

Diego Teachers College in California. Her quiet and reserved manner has kept

some of us from really knowing her but her wide circle of acquaintances indicate

an attractive personality.

RUTH KRAVIFFall River

Garden Club 2, 3, 4; Vice-President 3, 4; Library Club 3, 4,- Camera Club 4;

Menorah 2, 3, 4.

"Eternal cheer" is Ruthie's middle name. An artist in conversation,

she loves the best in music and has a definite philosophy of living. Her ever

increasing library makes her a Hitting chairman for that "Cultivated Culture

Group" of Room 58. She delights in Geography as a major and Golf as a

minor. One of the triumvirate aiming for those Rocky Mountain positions,

she's determined to get her traveling in somehow. But to prove her love of life,

here is an invitation to listen in on her giggle in the midst of being efficient as

Garden Club's first vice-President.

ARNOLD LAMKINDorchester

Science Club 3, 4; Camera Club 2, 3, 4,- Sketch Group 3, 4.

Genial in spirit and unassuming in air, Arnold ranks with the popular.

Vivid will be his memories of his senior year when he joined the ranks of the

Appendicitis Kids. Scientific-minded, Arnold has been an active participant

in Science Club and Camera Club and has taken many surprise shots this year

which are priceless to the subjects.

Page 38

ROSE LANSWalpole

Library 2, 3, 4; Presisent 4,- Sketch Group 3, 4; Chapel Committee 4; Senior

Creative Group; Garden Club 1, 2.

A laughing cherubim, who surprises you on occasion by turning into a serious

student of literature and art. Always ready (or a good time, particularly in the

summer, with a definite liking for "bellhoppers" who know the law—that's

Rose. She can be seen any Friday afternoon helping to decorate the gym, as an

indispensible half of the Rusty-Rose combination. Rose, and the fact that they

pay their war debts, are the reasons that we like the Finnish!

BERTHA LARSONAttleboro

Dormitory Council 4; Pro-tem President 4; Treasurer of Woodward 4,- Science

Club 2, 3, 4; German Club 4; Camera Club 4; Garden Club 1, 2.

Whether she is figuring out the dorm accounts or the hereditary characteris-

tics of a white rat, Bert gets the right answer. Her vast store of energy is ex-

pended in tennis, bicycling, and studying. Still a child at heart, her love of

life is genuine.

WINIFRED LAUGHLINTaunton

Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Dormitory Council 4; French Club 1, 2, 3, 4; NewmanClub 1, 2, 3, 4,- Women's Athletic Association Board.

To fully appreciate a girl like Freddie you should know her for years.

Seeing her impersonate "Mr. Dick" and Katherine Hepburn, you realize

only one of her potentialities. The life of Week-end parties, and the perfect

hostess at midnight feasts, she can soon make the gang roar with such stories

as the angel and the ouja boardl

EDITH LAWLERNantasket

Library Club 2, 3, 4,- Newman Club 1,2, 3, 4; Women's Athletic Association

1,2,3,4.Quiet, unaggressive, but forceful once she's drawn out Edith is usually

hunting news and passing in journalism assignments to Miss Lovett's fabulous,

but mammoth paper eater. Easily flustered, and quick to giggle, she takes a

joke good-naturedly and then resumes her calm. Literature is her major and

she participates actively in anything pertaining to it, having been a member of

the Library Club for three years.

Page 39

ELIZABETH LESENECHALNorth Weymouth

Hobby Club 4; Women's Athletic Association.

A sincere and pleasing manner, friendly and sympathetic smile give us

a composite picture of one of our more demure seniors. Library work has always

appealed to Betty and working here in our library has made her one of Miss

Vining's able assistants. Commuting daily, acting as first assistant to her brother

in fixing "flats" and pushing the car gives her a keen sense of humor and

ready wit.

JOSEPH LESENECHALNorth Weymouth

Class President 1; Student Council 1; Glee Club 1, 2; Hobby Club 1.

One of the more conscientious members of the senior class—a "Johnnyon the spot"—assignments done in advance, an art of loquacity in classes

lending towards the argumentative side. Chauffeuring a carload of "Wey-mouthities" to B.T.C. for four years has been an important phase in his college

career. Curly hair and a flashing smile, two dominant characteristics of "Joe"

made him the noble ruler of our freshman class.

DAVID LEVENSONBrockton

Campus Comment; Editor 4; Assistant Editor 3,- Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4; GermanClub 1, 2, 3; President 3; Hobby Club 1.

Editing Campus Comment and working in the print shop mark Dave as one

of the busiest seniors at Bridgewater. He finds time for Dramatic Club and

German Club, however, and often takes the lead in dramatic productions. Someof his essays written for creative writing class show that he possesses a brilliant

literary style. With his flashing sense of humor he is ready to pounce upon an

opportunity to make a pun, thus having enlivened his every class.

ARNOLD LEVINEQuincy

Topics of the Day Club 1 , 2, 3, 4; Menorah 3, 4,- Men's Club 1, 2, 3, 4; M.A. A.Play 4.

Gullability personified is Arnold, one of the most serious-minded students

in our class. Efforts devoted conscientiously toward getting the most out of

his college education have earned him commendable results. He is slow to

form his opinions and to get him to change them is just as slow a process!

Page 40

JEAN LINDSAYSouth Weymouth

Day Student Council President 4; Secretary 3; Dramatic Club 4; Class Repre-

sentative 1; Newman Club 4.

Our gracious fun-loving first lady of the Day Students whose magnetic

personality has won for her the admiration of all. Almost as popular as Jean

herself on campus is her "faithful flivver" which has proved an aid to many

a commuter. A friendly enthusiastic nature makes this Miss one of our most

ardent gym enthusiasts whether it be noon-time dancing or cheering B. T. C. on

to victory.

MARY LOCKARYOntario

Women's Athletic Association,- Newman Club.

When you're looking for fun find Mary, that witty, care-free girl whose

root canal is her pride possession, her "public" a great joy, and prolonged

vacations in Canada, a habit. Her '29 flivver occasionally dispensed with a

wheel or two in city traffic but this failed to bother Mary for doesn't she boast

of having the second highest P. F. I. in the class? Beneath the surface, we find

a true, loyal friend, a dependable willing worker and a serious student.

MURIEL LOGANWollaston

Art Editor of Alpha 3, 4,- Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Art Editor of Campus Comment

4; Choir 1, 2, 3, 4,- Sketch Group 3, 4; Newman Club 4.

Sanderson, Dobson, Logan—remember that stunning trio? However that's

not all we can say for Rusty. Efficiency and talent with a fiery temperment

(to match her lovely hair) make Rusty a necessity around Campus. She is out-

standing in literature, history, and, particularly, in art. Modern art is her passion,

and we are sure she will go far and accomplish great things in this field. We,who have seen her decorating the gym, realize her boundless energy and

"indefatigue-ability."

BARBARA LUTTEDStoughton

Science Club 2, 3, 4; Vice-President 3; President 4,- Hobby Club 3, 4,- Vice-

President 4.

A chosen few penetrqte the veneer of reserve to a Barb whose fine sense of

loyalty is accompanied by her ability to have fun. In classes we depend on

her to solve the problem which has us all puzzled. With business like efficiency

she hurried from one class to the next where she takes rapid, copious notes.

Outspoken and possessing decided opinions, Barb can talk to anyone with the

greatest of ease.

Page 41

MARGARET MADORCambridge

Women's Athletic Association Governing Board; Camera Club 4; Day Student

Council 3.

Margaret came to us as a demure Freshman with braids coroneting her

head—now a peppy senior showing her abilities in many fields—namely

dancing, archery, bowling and last but not least the "ologys." A sudden

interest in Camera Club has given us to believe that Photography must be a

fascinating subject. The mere mention of this fact brings a rosy bloom to Mar-

garet's cheeks—something we all enjoy.

LORETTA MANTERTaunton

Hobby Club 1, 2, 3; Vice-President 4; Topics of the Day Club 3, 4,-

An active member on the basketball court and in classes is Loretta. But

her enthusiasm does not stop here. As Vice-President of Hobby Club, she has

assisted in the promotion of its efficient annual program. Discussions of vital

world problems in the libarry or hilarious social hours in the Commuter's room find

her always in the midst of the fray. A happy medium of laughter and labor

characterizes Loretta.

NANCE MARQUETTEBradford

Treasurer of Dormitory Council; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Kindergarten-primary

Club; Elections Committee; Campus Comment.

White-collared version of what the best-dressed senior will wear. That

lyrical lilt to your newest song favorite is Nance's version. With "not a worry

in the world" as her motto, Nance is a member of our cheering section. She

guards Dorm Council's pocketbook with the same efficiency which characterizes

her study skills. She has a new enthusiasm every week—this time it's horse-

back riding.

ALBA MARTINELLIPlymouth

French Club 2; Hobby Club 3; Associate-Editor of Campus Comment Vice-

President of Class 2.

Making a success of anything she attempts and always attempting newthings, Alba brings her knowledge and endless vitality to all her classes.

Short, dark, with boundless energy, a flair for publicity, a talent in creative

writing, a genius at organization. Women's Athletic Association, CampusComment, and Topics of the Day Club find her a willing leader. As a narrator,

jhe tells fine tales of her summer on the Cape and entertains fellow commuters

recounting her wild and wooly dreams.

Page 42

IRENE MATTIEEast Braintree

Topics of the Day Club 1,2, 3, 4; Day Student Council 1/ Women's Athletic

Association 1, 2.

Irene is that subtle humorist from East Braintree. Her sly look when telling

a joke or giggling over some bit of wit is a warning to her companions. Pleasant,

smiling, and well groomed, Irene goes about her duties capably and confidently.

Too add a final merry touch, she is a true jitterbug, and to watch her reactions

to a swing record is one of the delights of her gang.

THELMA MATTSONBraintree

Topics of the Day Club 4; Women's Athletic Association.

Thelma is one of the math "wizards" of the college and almost any

morning she can be seen rushing up from the train with Norma, comparing

math problems with her. Although she is quiet and reserved with strangers,

she is as entertaining as any member of her own group and can dance very

gracefully to the folk dances of her ancestors.

HARRIETT MAYOOrleans

Women's Athletic Association Governing Board 2, 3,- Libary Club 4.

"Hat" is fast on a basketball court and tennis court yet she combines

it with math and geography, all in a grand jumble and does a real good job of

it. She is Bridgewater's one and only rooter for Hyannis but as long as there's

a good reason, we've put up with it! She knits like Madame DeFarge and can

finish a sweater in no time, and this is typical of the way she completes all the

jobs which are set before her.

MARY MC CANNChelsea


Mary's friendliness, graciousness, and love of fair play make her the per-

sonification of W. A. A.'s ideals—the organization of which she is president.

Her delightful, musical giggling fills all her stories from camp—where she is

known as "Miss Mary"—to mountain climbing. She has a wide circle of friends

from the conductor on the Boston train to the shyest freshman in the commuters'

room. Her loyalty and dependability have helped her to scale the ladder of

popularity.

Page 43

MARGARET McCARTHYBrockton

Women's Athletic Association 2, 3, 4; Kindergarten-Primaiy Club 1, 2; New-man Club 4.

Although Margaret is never smileless, she lives as if she hasd a purpose in

life. A hard worker and a good student, she is meticulous in thought and action.

Interested in the athletic program, she is almost a perfect shot at the bull's eye.

Pleasant and cooperative, she can always be depended upon to do her bit and

more and with an attitude like that it is no wonder she has been so successful

at Bridgewater.

CATHERINE McDONALDQuincy

Hobby Club 1; Women's Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4.

Taking life as it comes, Kay seldom lets her calm be disturbed, and is a

perfect balance for Ruth, her inseparable companion. With the same unruffled

calm she completes assignments by the deadline! Although a four-year ad-

herent to the same gang, she has a friendly word or smile for everyone.

cecilia McdonaldWeymouth

Hobby Club 2,- Women's Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4.

Her sense ot humor and her laughing eyes are a pleasant contrast to

Cecilia's otherwise serious countenance. Libarary classes often produce a

giggle or two from her,- we wonder why! Cecilia spends her leisure time, both in

Weymouth and Bridgewater, riding bicycles and playing baseball. This and

her shyness which is accompanied by a blush at times, make Cecilia a very in-

teresting member of our class.

ANNA McGRORYRandolph

Governing Board of Women's Athletic Association 3, 4; Day Student Council

4,- Civic Committee 4; Newman Club 1, 2, 4; Hobby Club 2, 3.

To a casual observer, Anna is a sweet, reserved brunette; to her intimates,

she is the personification of her own high ideals. She enjoys the out-of-doors

and may be found in rapt admiration of some beauty of nature or on the hockey

field encouraging her teammates on to victory. Ann's love of feline pets is not

dampened by the teasing of her friends when she opens the subject. Twinkling

blue eyes are the proof of her Gaelic love of fun.

Page 44

MARGARET McHUGHEast Walpole

Governing Board of Women's Athletic Association 4; Vice-President 4;

Campus Comment; Dormitory Council 4; Newman Club 1, 2, 3, 4.

One of the busiest individuals on the campus, Margaret may be seen

dashing across campus anytime from 7 a. m. on to keep an appointment in

the dining hall or gym. Originating the alumni sports day is just one of the

contributions Margaret made to Women's Athletic Association while she was

vice-president. That red-headed gusto has sustained her through four years

of such wearing experiences as study-hour wrestling matches, serious intellectual

discussions, walking barefoot on Carver's frozen surface, and leading the polka

at socials. Being different is the keynote of her personality, non-conformity is

her hobby—even to the point of becoming a "dependable" senior!

ELIZABETH McKEANBraintree


Easy-going and unruffled, Carrie calmly makes order out of chaos. Asparkling and persistent conversationalist, she has no trouble finding an au-

dience. She is always ready to lend a sympathetic ear and to laugh off her

classmates' troubles with them. Although friendly toward all, Carrie favors

her intimates with a steadfast loyalty.

ELIZABETH McLAUGHLINBridgewater

Vice-President of Senior Class,- Topics of the Day Club 3; President 4,- Student

Fellowship 2, 3,- Secretary 4.

Unruffled, even when laden with inumerable activities, Betty is the envyof the "unadjusted" members of our class. Presiding at meetings of Topics

of the Day Club or putting over the best Senior Social ever, she proves that effec-

tive organization is the synonym for efficiency. A sparkling sense of humor,

participation in sports and knowledge of the hows and whys of town manage-ment, make her the Betty we all admire and appreciate as a companion.

IHffyiWflMllifflPlffl

MARGARET MEADEBrockton

Literaiy Editor of Alpha 4,- Assistant Editor 3; Dramatic Club; Sketch Croup;Orchestra.

Versatility is the keynote of Margaret's personality. She is musical, has a

fine artistic technique, and is a capable actress. Her literary ability has donemuch in producing Alpha, for which she was Literary Editor. Margaret's re-

tiring ways have kept many of her classmates from really knowing her, but those

of us who do know her intimately know of her constant willingness to work and

of the high standards which all of her work must reach.

Page 45

JOSEPHINE MERANDAAssonet

Kindergarten-Primary Club; Women's Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4,

Every bit of Jo's 4 feet and 10 inches consists of liveliness, pep, and per-

sonality. She has sparkling, expressive eyes and a spontaneous smile based on

sincerity. Her love for children and her story-telling ability point toward success

in her profession. Humor is seldom lacking in a class or conversation in which

Jo participates.

ELIZABETH MERRYBridgewater

Secretary of Science Club 3; Science Club 2, 3, 4/ Hobby Club 4; Garden

Clubl.

An authority on birds, Elizabeth enjoys a bird walk almost every Spring

morning. She is a worthy member of Science Club, having been an enthusiastic

student of Miss Graves and Mr. McGurren for four years. Science is not her only

interest as she has shown us by her active participation in scout leadership which

has shown her profound love for children.

GLADYS MOOREBridgewater

Women's Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4,- Women's Glee Club 2, 3, 4.

Unfortunate are those who know Gladys only in class because her academic

efforts hide from most of us her rollicking humor and appreciation of a good time.

She is a musical stand-out just like her inseparable friend Esther; a wonderful

alto—a better pianist and organist. She is deliberate in manner, persevering

in carrying out her undertakings, and serious in her plans for a teaching career.

ELEANOR MULLINCanton

Newman Club 4; Dramatic Club 2, 3, 4; Women's Athletic Association 1, 2,

3,4.

Eleanor is one of our most charming seniors who is well known for her

keen sense of humor. Her dramatic ability has been shown on the stage and

more often in informal gatherings with impersonations of Mortimer Snerd or

Fannie Frump. If Eleanor is present, any class can depend on a lively discussion

for she is numbered among our intelligents as well as our witty.

Page 46

ELEANOR MURPHYArlington

Vice-President of Newman Club; Secretary of Dramatic Club; Camera Club;

Scholarship Committee.

Eleanor's lovely speaking voice, her impulsive laughter, and her winsome

nature make her one of the best liked girls on the campus. One of the leaders

of Newman Club, she has played an important part in the organization. Amongher many interests are mathematics, singing in Glee Club, dramatics, and Camera

Club. She is a lower campus enthusiast and takes great delight in athletics.

Spud's varying moods and her troubles with the opposite sex make her amongthe most interesting of dorm students.

ARNOLD NERENBERGBrockton

With the exception of intra-mural sports, extra-curricular activities have

seen little of Arnold for with him marriage is a career. The first father of the

Class of 1940, he has proved himself capable of carrying responsibility and his

executive ability was shown when Arnold conducted the class for Miss Smith.

Quiet and unassuming he could always be counted on to make worthwhile

contributions in any class.

VERNON NICKERSONOrleans

Treasurer of Alpha; Science Club 2, 3, 4; Treasurer 3; Treasurer of Men's Club

4; Class Representative 2, 4; Secretary of Class 2.

Nick is an ardent booster of Cape Cod and also an enthusiastic sailor andhunter. In a discussion on track, athletics, golf or the various aspects of out-

board boating, Nick's surface reserve is easily broken. He has an amount of

quiet ability which will help him to attain new heights. As treasurer of Alphaand Men's Club, he has demonstrated a high degree of efficiency.

PATRICK O'BRIENWeymouth

Topics of the Day Club 2, 3, 4; Vice-President; Newman Club 3, 4; Dean's

Council 3, 4; Men's Athletic Association.

A consuming interest in current events and current history qualify Pat for

his position as Vice-President of Topics of the Day Club. One of the best

history students, Pat was chosen as a Columbus Day speaker. He is very in-

terested in baseball, being a strong National League supporter. Ability in

public speaking and argumentation have given him an excellent stage presence.

Page 47

HELEN O'NEILAttleboro

Dorm-Council; Secretary 4,- Camera Club 3; 4, Newman Club 1, 2, 3, 4.

Helen takes work in small doses and only when necessary but accomplishes

a surprising amount. One of our more diminutive seniors, Helen has been

trying to reach that 5 feet mark for four years but all in vain! Her spontaneous

giggle wipes away the worries that sometimes intrude themselves on her, but

never last long. She has had earnest intentions of doing loads since she has

been here but the day just hasn't been long enough for her to get started! Having

the knack of making any story funny, her enthusiasm in contagious and she

will always be welcome in any group.

MARY O'ROURKEQuincy

Class Treasurer 1; Topics of the Day Club 3, 4; Day Student Council 1.

Vivacious, bubbly, never lacking in words, Mary holds first place for see-

ing and knowing all. Never at a loss for a fluent answer, she can do anything

almost as well as she talks and that is a high compliment, for Mary's verbal

people,- she is however usually nonchalant.

Anyone who has ever argued with Connie will sooner or later find himself

up against a stone wall. She is a good sport; and a willing accomplice in

wild schemes—sneezing powder—remember! She makes those lovely clothes

that she wears so well. Provocative, unmovable, Connie loves practical jokes,

the latest novels, knitting, and swing!

ANNA PARENTStoughton

Basketball 1 , 2; Hockey 1 , 2, 3; Soccer 1 , 2; Baseball 1 , 2; Hobby Club 2, 3, 4.

When not busy smoothing out all the troubles of her friends, Betty takes a

few minutes out for a game of basketball or a kick on the soccer field. Jovial

and obliging, she is always around when pleasure plans are in the air. She takes

workinsmall dosesand only when necessary but accomplishes a surprising amount.

LAURA PEARSONMiddleboro

Campus Comment 1, 2, 3, 4; News Editor 4; Topics of the Day Club 4; HobbyClubl.

A perfect diminutive, she wears her clothes with the natural slim poise that

everyone else diets and exercises to attain. Her spontaneous smile makes her

instantly attractive and her genuine sincerity turns the attraction into friendship.

Maybe that's why young men (and a few younger) have memorized her tele-

phone number. Her scientific bent is becomingly concealed behind a blue-

eyed twinkle.

VIRGINIA PEKARSKIBrockton

Class Representative 2; Glee Club 3, 4; Newman Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Choir 3, 4;


She's got rhythm, this girl. One of B. T. C.'s best dancers, Jini may often

be seen teaching others the newest steps. Her musical talent manifests itself in

Glee Club, Choir, and piano playing. Her beautiful hair, ability to wear smart

clothes, conscientiousness, and eagerness to help make the Jini we all like.

TYNNE PETERSONWest Quincy

Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Secretary 3; Student Director 4; Topics of the Day Club

2, 3, 4; Treasurer 3.

Whether it be getting costumes for the pageant or, directing an orchestra

rehearsal, Tynne can do it quickly and efficiently. A tall, striking, blonde with

a priceless amount of willingness and foresight, she is always ready to donate

her time and skill when decorations or favors have to be made in the art room.

No one can doubt that Tynne has made the most of every opportunity here at

Bridgewater, and with the amount of ingenuity that she possesfes, her life should

be a complete success.

FRANCES PINANDMonson

Library Club 3,4; Hobby Club 1; Garden Club 2; Women's Athletic Associa-

tion.

Calm, placid, Fran—never ruffled by anything, is unexpectedly clever in

many ways. She is known in the dorm for her dry, witty remarks and clever

hair-dos. Fran is one of those people who is never at a loss for something to do

—she has so many reserve interests—such as painting Christmas cards at three

o'clock in the morning—just because she couldn't sleep!

Page 49

ELEANOR PITTS

Quincy

Topics of the Day Club 3, 4; Newman Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Women's Athletic As-sociation 1, 2, 3, 4.

Eleanor is another one of that Quincy group that comes with Mary every

day. The raised eyebrows and knowing laugh that accompany her speech con-

tradict the little-girl impression that her fair coloring and spontaneous gestures

give. Never at a loss for a snappy comeback, she turns occasionally to moreserious interests, such as an active participation in the elementary course andthe Topics of the Day Club.

BARBARA PRINCENorth Eastham

Student Council 1; Library Club 2, 3, 4; Treasurer 3; Women's Athletic As-sociation.

Shall we ever forget freshman geography with Barbara vehemently defend-

ing the Cape? or those lucious tea sandwiches at Book Week teas? A capa-

ble little girl is "Orly" who shouldersjobs twice her size and conquers them

all! Remember the library? Barb's the only librarian we remember who de-

manded "whispering" and got it!—much to her consternation! Efficient andearnest! Definitely!

NAN PURTELLNorth Adams

Second Vice-President of S. C. A. 4; French Club 1, 2, 3/ Treasurer 2; Vice-

President 3; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Chapel Committee 3.

An advocate of everything that's smooth explains the reason for the waythings run under Nan's direction. Indifferent-definitely, yet she contributes

whole-heartedly to the support of all B. T. C. enterprises. Remember the "heat-

wave"? Liking a good time and a good meal, Nan has a flare for finding these

in new places. Regular reading of Mademoiselle and time tables keeps her

well-informed on the subjects which interest her most. Indispensable as a player

on the senior basketball team, as coffee-maker at midnight feasts, and as a

member of all food committees, Nan is a truly versatile person.

MARY QUEENANCanton

Treasurer of Class 4; Day Student Council 3,- Camera Club 4; Hobby Club 4;

Newman Club 2, 3, 4; Women's Athletic Association; Head of Hockey.

Here's one person whose genuineness is truly appreciated. Majoring in

science, Mary adds opinion and argument to any discussion with accurate

analysis. Her accuracy also keeps our class treasury in working order. A wide

scope of interests is eveident in her management of hockey and her developing

of campus shots. An abundant supply of witticisms entertains Mary's ever-

growing circle of friends.

Page 50

EDWIN RANDALLNaHck

Secretary of Class 3, 4; Science Club 1 , 2, 3, 4; Advertising Manager of Alpha 4.

Out training, Ed was known as "the good-looking one," according to

"Harpo" our ace reporter, and who are we to question her opinions? ! I

However that is not all that can be said for Ed. Who would have read the

minutes of our class meeting for the last two years, run the movies in chapel for

Miss Graves or obtained our ads for Alpha, had Ed not done it? Alwaystaking the defensive side no matter what the situation, Ed has found himself

in many involved discussions even as to the definition of a Friend.

JANE RAYMONDBuzzards Bay

Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Sketch Group 3, 4; Library Club 3, 4; Poetry Group 4.

As can be seen by her activities, Jane has a definite appreciation of all

the arts and has perfected them all as far as creative work along these lines

is concerned. She is the girl who sets the style for the campus and appears in

the creations which can be bought in Boston next season! Her enthusiasm is

endless and we shall remember always that she is the only one who could keep

our economics class awake when we were listening to statistics for days and

days in our junior year!

SYLVIA RICHMANBrockton

French Club 1; Topics of the Day Club 3, 4; Menorah 3, 4; Women's Athletic

Association.

Playground work has revealed that Sylvia has a great fondness for chil-

dren. This work and membership in Day Student Council have proved her ability

to organize people and materials. Menorah Society and Topics of the^Day

Club have kept her abreast of current affairs.

DOROTHY ROBINSONSturbridge

Kindergarten-Primary Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Dormitory Council 4.

The instigator of many adventures, Dot is always welcome in any group

that is looking for fun. She takes active part in each sport as it becomes season-

able and here again her love of fun is well exemplified. Another one of her

interests can be found in her photograph album for she has enough snapshots

to fill two albums and these make an excellent record of her college life. Weperceive a cosmopolitan outlook in her gang since Dot got her car. The dormi-

tory has been only a stopping place, coming second to such centers as NewYork and Washington.

Page 51

WILLIAM RODGERSTaunton

Camera Club 1, 2, 3; Vice-President; Men's Athletic Association.

Bill's popularity with his classmates was shown by his early election as

class representative. Developments in the photographic dark-room have re-

vealed an interest in photography.

DOROTHY RUSSELLChartley


With the serenity befitting a senior, Dorothy calmly takes life as it comes in

the classroom. Possessing a definite appreciation and talent in music, she has

devoted much time to acquiring additional theory and appreciation, when not

trying to meet the requirements which Miss Lovett sets up in her journalism course!

She possesses one of the chief requisites of a good teacher—a love of children

—

and she devotes much of her time to them at school as well as at home where she

even teaches Sunday school.

EILEEN SANFORDAttleboro


A winning smile and a Della-Robbia angel pout signify her change of

mood. She is the catalyst calming down the fiery temperaments of her friends.

A lover of art, she finds Block Island a fitting place to enjoy her summers. Dis-

playing a fount of unusual knowledge, she's sought after for any intellectual bull-

session. Fond of the English in tweeds, folk-lore and misty days, she has madethe dorm a staunch supporter of pork pie. She is as thorough in completing his-

tory assignments as in posting "culture" on bulletin boards. Sandy is a girl with

an understanding twice her size.

MARIE-LOUISE SCANLONMiddleboro

Hobby Club 1; Newman Club 4; Women's Athletic Association.

A dimpling smile which will be handy both in and out of the classroom

laughter bubbling beneath her drawl, her easy-going enjoyment of life is based

on a philosophy of living revealed only to a few. An accomplished organist,

she wanders around humming snatches of next Sunday's anthems. If you're

looking for her, keep your eyes open for a determined chin offset by elfin eye-

brows.

Page 52

ROBERT SCHNITZLERBoston

Men's Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4.

Definitely the business man of our class, or possessing that air! To his

college work he has brought real ambition and aggressiveness. Even though

his sense of humor may be doubted, his love of a good time never can be. Bobalways looks as if he has just stepped out of a tailorshop being perhaps oneof our best groomed men.

WINIFRED SILVEIRAGloucester

Student Director of French Club 4; Vice-President 3; Secretary of Alpha; GleeClub 1, 2, 3, 4,- Choir; Chairman of Civic Committee. "Blue Hawaii" sung

under a New England heaven reminds us of Wini's lovely soprano voice in-

dispensable to week-end parties, Glee Club and A Cappella. Wini is a volatile

sort of person. Her capriciousness distinguishes her from us who are more

phlegmatic—sets her apart from the usual. And Wini is an unusual girl. In

addition to her musical interests she finds time to contribute to the meetings of

the "Cultivated Culture Group" and extend her culture to being director of

"Le Cercle Francais."

WILLIAM SKULLEYBrockton

President of Newman Club 4; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Men's Athletic Association.

Bill came to us from Tufts and Tufts, loss was certainly Bridgewater's gain,

for his pleasant personality and good-natured laugh make him a necessary

participant in all Bridgewater functions. Bill is interested not only in pedagogic

but also in military tactics, spending his summers at Plattsburg increasing his

knowledge of the latter. The successful year that Newman Club has had under

Bill's direction typifies the way things run with him as leader and sure point to

a bright future. Good luck, Bill.

ELIZABETH SMITHDartmouth

ibrary Club 2, 3, 4; Vice-President 4; Garden Club 1, 2, 3.

Betty is the minion of the bookshelves in the training school library. Evi-

dently books are her chief interest; she has an amazing capacity for reading,

completing more best-sellers in a month than most of us do in a year. Possessing

an unruffled disposition, she faces each new situation calmly and in a level-

headed manner and with a quality of this sort, she is bound to be successful in

the career for which she is preparing.

Page 53

HENRY SPATZRoxbury

French Club 2, 3; Business Manager of Alpha 4. Men's Athletic Association.

A business man from head to foot, Henry has fulfilled his jobs for Alpha

in a conscientious manner. His cocky felt hat and garbardine suits tack the ad-

jectives of "dapper" and "sporty" to his name, and we imagine they have helped

him get many rides the nights he has gone to Roxbury by "road-side" felicitation.

We shall always remember his reading of French poetry our freshman year.

It stayed us!

MARION SPENCERWeymouth

Kindergarten-Primary Club; Women's Athletic Association.

Tall, erect, serious, and seemingly quiet, Marian is interested in the "finer

things of life" for which she has a natural appreciation. Marian delves into the

arts and music and attending the opera annually is one of her treasures. Her

versatility does not end here for when it comes to sports we find Marian leading

the skaters and swimmers by big strides.

MIRIAM STEIN

Quincy

Menorah Society; Secretary 3; Vice-President 4; Topics of the Day Club 2, 3, 4.

Miriam is a person who is individual in her ideas and expresses them freely

and convincingly. Her academic interests lie mainly in literature, economics

and sociology, perhaps explaining the fact that she can discuss all of the latest

books pertaining to any of these fields. An active member of the Topics of the

Day Club in addition to the aforementioned activities, makes her among the

most well-informed members of the class.

MERILYN STUDLEYRockland

Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Secretary 3; First Vice-President 4; Student Choir Director

4; German Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Choir 1, 2, 3, 4; A Cappella.

As a freshman the first thing we noticed about Merilyn was her quick smile

and pleasant greeting. Those of us who were in Training School with her recall

the familiar picture of her sauntering around sporting an Indian headdress. Miss

Rand's balance wheel, she has done her share in maintaining the good records of

our Glee Club and choir.

BARBARA TAYLORWellesley Hills

President of S. C. A. 4; Vice-President of Class 3; President of Student Fellowship

2, 3; Dormitory Council 1,2; Glee Club 1,2, 3; Choir.

Tall, unassuming, amiable and to top it all an enviable head of curly locks

—that's our S. C. A. president. We admire Barb for her general efficiency,

her earnest desire to improve every enterprise in which she finds herself and, yes,

for that spontaneous, infectious laugh. As to her musical ability we question only

her ability to shine with the "bow." We have witnessed the results. How about

it, Barb? Are you going to keep away from the fiddle?

JEAN TAYLORWestwood

Student Fellowship 1, 2, 3, 4; Vice-President 2, 3; French Club 1, 2; Science

Club 2, 3, 4,- Division Representative 1

.

Modern dancing is Jean's chief intetest. Tuesdays and Thursdays she can

always be found doing a spiral fall or a rhythm step. An inveterate collector,

Jean is constantly teased about her closet overflowing with scrapbooks. How-ever, these same teasers came to be the habitual borrowers of the collected

material. Jean has shown great interest in church work. Student Fellowship

and having Kathie Kelly as her inspiration should lead Jean to success in the

hardest job of all—living beneficiently.

HELEN TEBBETSBrockton

Hobby Club 3, 4; Topics of the Day Club 4; Women's Athletic Association

1,2,3,4.

Helen is a born history student and just as good an organizer we found

out when she planned that field trip to Plymouth. Emphatic and decisive whenshe expresses an opinion, she usually ends by laughing it off. Her interest in

geneology has lead to making a lengthy compilation of her ancestors. She

has even discovered that she has a common ancestor!

JOHN TOBINBridgewater

Baseball, basketball, and tennis 1, 2, 3, 4; President of Men's Athletic As-

sociation 4.

Jack is the college connoisseur of dance orchestras and new steps; remember

his leading "the big apple"? His four years work in all the major sports has

been outstanding and he ably combined these with his class work. As president

of the Men's Club he has been the instigator of many new ideas which have at

least got him into involved discussions if they profited him nothing!

Page 55

NORMA TUOMALAQuincy

Women's Athletic Association Governing Board 1, 2, 3; Assistant Treasurer 2;

Treasurer 3.

The efficient way in which Norma has guided the pocketbook of Women'sAthletic Association is typical of the way she does everything. Possessing a

scientific mind she is a mathematical wizard and has solved many problems

for the class this year. She and Thelma can be seen rushing up from the train

any morning comparing mathematical problems or discussing some new ven-

ture for Women's Athletic Association. They both are experts in the folk dances

of their native country and Norma is very good at giving instructions if any of

you are desirous of learning!

JOHN TYNDALLBellingham

Men's Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4.

John came to college for the sole purpose of getting an education and he

has taken every opportunity to accomplish his purpose. He does not express

his opinions very readily, but when he does you can be certain they will be

well worth listening to. He and George seem to find a lot in common for they

are almost inseparable and here we get a glimpse of true loyalty and sincerity

that are his.

LUCILLE TRENEARSouth Weymouth

German Club 1; Hobby Club 4; Women's Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4.

Self-sufficient in a truly feminine manner, Lucille works thoroughly and

conscientiously. She is soft-spoken and unobtrusive and has a decided interest

in children. Her high cheek bones tuck her eyes out of sight and her chin

tightens into a triangle when she is amused. Reading and hiking help to keep

her mentally and physically active.

LENA TROJANOBrockton

Topics of the Day Club 3, 4; Kindergarten-Primary Club 1, 2; Newman Club 4;

Day Student Council 2.

Lena has a serene interesting face. Conscientious and thorough she is in-

tensely interested in her work. Her favorite question is, "Are we going to

have a test?" Except when the answer to that question is in the affirmative,

Lena is quiet and tends to exert a calm influence upon her friends. She is es-

pecially gentle and successful in directing children.

3e 56

GRACE WALLBrockton

Day Student Council 3; Newman Club 1; Women's Athletic Association.

Grace is the girl who tells us by her wearing apparel, what Vogueis showing this month. Pale skin in contrast with dark hair and strongly formed

features make hers an arresting face. One year of imprisonment within the

walls of Wood, made her and Hope realize "there is no place like home,"

so Grace joined the ranks of the day-students and the dormitory assumed a

new quiet! Soft-spoken, yet deliberate, she is friendly and easy-going and

we envy her her light-heartedness.

IRMA WALLQuincy

First Vice-President of S. C. A.; Treasurer of Class 3; Camera Club/ HobbyClub 3/ Women's Athletic Association Representative 3.

Charm and assurance, plus a certain casualness and the air of not having

a worry in the world contribute to Irma's success in running the social functions

of the college. She possesses a certain air of dignity destroyed on occasion by

an old habit—blushing. Neat and dainty Irma's blonde loveliness graces any

occasion that her fun-loving desires may initiate. She is an indispensable half

of the "Barb-lrm" combination that is so familiar on campus.

MARGARET WALLBrockton

Choir 1, 2, 3, 4; A capella 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, A, Vice-President 4.

One of t"ie prize possessions of the music department is Peg. A leader in

Glee Club, Choir and A Capella and a song leader in chapel, she has handled

her responsibilities in a wonderful way. She is not a typical song-bird, however,

for Peg has too many worries. As enthusiastic in her friendships as in her activi-

ties, she expresses her opinions subtly but unmistakably.

ELEANOR WALSHQuincy

Day Student Council 3; Head of Tennis 3, 4,- Newman Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Women'sAthletic Association.

Eleanor is a devotee of the tennis courts for more than one reason we hear.

She is also a charter member of the Rocky Point crowd. There is an air of

nonchalance about her work, but she has an enviable ability of getting it in by

the dead line. Charming assurance plus the ability to say the right thing at the

right time mark her as a grand fellow worker—and player.

GERALDINE WARDWELLBrockton

Division Representative 4; Day Student Council 1, 4; Women's Athletic As-sociation Representative 2; Topics of the Day Club 1, 2, 4; Newman Club

1,2,3,4.

Gerry loves to argue, but, mind you, she insists on a basis (or heated dis-

cussions and a thorough knowledge of parliamentary procedure. In chapel, as

well as in classes, she confirms or denies vehemently any statement open for

discussion. When thoroughly interested, she possesses inexhaustible energy

—

witness her activities in Day Student Council. Gerry's smooth clothes are en-

viable and her hair is inimitable in its lovliness. May we prophesy—she'll go

places!

LOUISE WENTWORTHBraintree

Hobby Club 1, 2; Women's Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4.

Louise is noted for her smooth clothes and distinctive hair styles. She is

one of the few persons who have found out the happy medium between the in-

tellectual and the carefree. The possessor of a ruddy complexion, she has ac-

quired the "Art" of blushing. Her infectious laugh is the reason for everyone's

telling her amusing stories.

MILDRED WHEELERNew Bedford

Dormitory Council; Vice-President of Tillinghast; President of Garden Club.

Poised and dignified, Mim is an alert business woman. Her greatest in-

terest is journalism and creative writing. Her love for reading has led her far

into the field of modern literature both for adults and children. Slim and flexible,

Mim is often incidental dormitory entertainer—being well-versed in anything

from the tango to the Jumping Jive.

JEAN WHITINGPlymouth

Glee Club 3, 4; Choir 4; Day Student Council 2; Women's Athletic Associa-

tion; Secretary 4.

Remember Jean and Alba taking off the Plymouthites on the way to

Salem when we were freshmen? Jean has not lost any of her pep or enthusiasm

as she has become weighed down with her extra-curricular! Easy-going and

calm in all situations, she showed us what she really could do when she taught

the "perfect" history lesson this year. Tall, pleasing personality, smart clothes,

all these are Jean.

Page 58

DORIS WOODBURYAbington

Baseball 1,2, 3; Field Hockey 1, 2; Baseball 1,2, 3; Soccer 1; Hobby Club 3, 4.

From her association with Hobby Club, Doris must have decided that

athletics of all types would be her hobby, for there certainly are few that she

hasn't tried! She is known for her sincerity and naive manner which help to pull

her out of that unintentional penchant for trouble which she seems to posses;.

Although a four-year adherent to the same gang, she has a friendly word andsmile for everyone.

GERTRUDE WOODWARDEast Norton

Hobby Club,- German Club; Topics of the Day.

Gertrude's gracious dignity makes her welcome in any group. She has

a definite tendency toward the field of Agriculture. Her artistic ability is evi-

dent not only in her fine drawings but also in her clever management of her

hair, not to mention her culinary skills which certainly point out more than

teaching in her future!

RUTH WORTHYBoston


Ruth's desire to help others was the chief cause of her transfering from asecretarial school to B. T. C. She wants to do social service work in the role

of a teacher and has made a very good start spending her summers at a settle-

ment house in Boston. Ruth plays the 'Cello in the trio which provides musicfor our chapel programs and she is never missing from the orchestra at anyfunction. Through her desire for knowledge ske keeps up on all world affairs

and is always ready to take part in any discussion.

ELIZABETH WRIGHTDedham

German Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Garden Club 3, 4; Program Committee 3, 4; GleeClub 4; French Club 1,2.

Charm, humor, originality, personality—these are the words that best de-scribe Buffie. She has a rare quality of freshness and enjoys each day's ex-periences. An idealist with flights of fancy, she frequently has to be restrained.This culture enthusiast has an intense interest in music, language, and the arts.

Miss Rand's disconcerting habit of abruptly terminating a symphony neverfailed to fill Buffie with dismay. Don't let the years change you Buffie.

Page 59

MARJORIE WRIGHTBraintree

Women's Athletic Association Board 3, 4; Newman Club 2, 3, 4; HobbyClub 2, 3.

Margy is the sympathetic, understanding person who listens to Anna's

love of nature. Inseparable for four years, they have made an interesting pair

on campus. We all know Margy for her quick speech which is always interesting,

and for the fun she helps provide for the "Rocky-Point" crowd. She didn't

contribute much financial aid to the "Cackle Club" but she made up for it in

other ways! Attractive, fun-loving and popular—That's Margy!

BERNARD ZATUCHNYDorchester

Men's Glee Club 1 , 2, 3, 4,- Topics of the Day Club 2, 3, 4; Menorah Club 3, 4.

Although Bernard is never smileless, he lives as if he had purpose in life.

A hard worker and a good student, he is meticulous in thought and action.

History classes would be dull without his accurate accounts of the new deal etc.

Although Bernie isn't preparing for the career, we think he would make a real

good business man!

HAROLD ZEOLIEast Weymouth

German Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Men's Athletic Association 1, 2, 3, 4.

His actions fail to hide his ability, for a special report or a recitation will

reveal an analytical mind and a twelve cylinder vocabulary. For four years

he has been known for his musical talents and his cutting of classes. His oddremarks and habits, painfully comical, are in accord with his philosophy—that

the world owes him a living!

PHYLLIS ZIEMIANIndian Orchard

Kindergarten-Primary Club 1,2, 3, 4; Corresponding Secretary 4; GardenClub 1, 2,- Newman Club 1, 2, 3, 4.

One needs only to look at Phyl to realize that her predominating interest

is the latest Paris creation in chapeaux. The fact that her hat is only an ac-

cessory to her chic clothes numbers Phyl among the best-dressed seniors. Ex-

cept in the dormitory where competition in speech runs high, Phyl has an ex-

tremely quiet and reserved manner. However this in no way interferes with her

enthusiasm for her vocation where energy and inguenity have brought her manylaurels.

his subtle humor.

MORTON C. COMEEBridgewater

Having graduated from Keene Normal some years ago and taught for a

while, Morton decided to take a year's leave of absence and take some history

ELLIOT WILSONQuincy

Transferring here from Massachusetts State, Elliott has made many worth-

while contributions to the college as well as his classes. Remember the interesting

illustrated lecture on the Southwest? We have Elliot to thank for this.

ON BEING A TEACHER

Last night I dreamed of teaching,

And when I woke this morning, I felt all glistening

and new.

I reread the book of methods we had used in class

And saw some purpose in it.

Today I taught a lesson on sugar,

And the children, polite little souls, listened

dutifully.

After the third was completed,

My mind with a courteous bow withdrew and left

me

Alone . . . Gibbering . . .

You know of course,

There is no such thing

As love,

Or if, by some evil chance,

It should exist,

It must be decently concealed.

Do you hear?

Decently concealed.

Marilyn has gone grey in the face.

FOUR YEARS AT BRIDGEWATER

Do you remember four years ago—when you, a scared and lonely freshman,

came to Bridgewater for the first time? If you were a commuter, you probably came

to take your health exam. Do you remember how forlorn you felt in that angel robe

which made you look like anything but an angel? Most of us were surprised to pass

the dreadful exam, for we were sure that if there were nothing the matter with us when

we started, we'd probably die of exhaustion before we were finished.

The first day of school was the worst probably. At chapel, we were surprised

when they sang the Lord's Prayer instead of saying it. We were left out as we did not

know the tune. We looked at the murals and delighted in the muses, coming to the

conclusion that their feet probably never touched ground—they looked that way, at

least. After chapel we were taken around to our classes; it seemed to be a day of

walking, of getting lost and asking questions. In the dining room at noon we were

confused and for the first time in our lives lost our appetites. It is really unfortunate

to be a freshman, we thought. See how happy everyone is (we hadn't been through an

exam week) and how they all know each other!

The next week was initiation week. We had to carry purple bags for our books,

and the terrible sophomores (for all freshmen think the sophs unforgiveable) forbade

us to paint our faces, and for some of us for our own good. There was a horrible defini-

tion of COLLEGE which some of us never learned and for this reason spent the whole

week dodging sophs. The first morning of initiation week, the seniors marched in

dressed in cap and gown. We were awed and impressed. One impressionable little

girl confided to everyone that she "felt like crying."

We were surprised to find the following in the first CAMPUS COMMENT which

we soon received: "Is the present crop of freshmen a more sophisticated lot than the

worthy group who first adorned this campus three years ago or can it be that the most

revered seniors have lost some of their dignity along the way? This query arises from

the astonishing fact that several of the 'lowest' classmen have refused to be impressed

by the solemn sight of serious seniors marching into chapel attired in caps and gowns.

They watch this dignified procedure with indulgent smiles and pass it off as just another

whim of those queer upper-classmen" (CAMPUS COMMENT, Oct. 2, '36).

After initiation, the year started to go by. Do you remember practicing receiving

lines with Miss Pope, planting lettuce outside the greenhouse and cutting your fingers

while making apple-tree grafts which you knew never would grow, making your first

splash of water-color for Miss Nye, and there was more splash than anything else,

playing soccer in windy field where your feet and the ball never got together, and

then taking a steaming hurried shower? And preparing a slide for the microscope full

of bulbous air-bubbles which you thought were part of the cellular structure of the

Page 66

onion membrane? When Dr. Florence Meredith, author of "Twelve Hours of Hygiene,"

spoke during chapel period, you noted down every word she spoke, as Miss Caldwell

told you to do and you were ready for a test on it at every moment.

We had two new teachers that year: Mr. McGurren of the Chemistry Department

and Miss Low of the English Department. Mr. McGurren, said "Here I seem to feel

that I am helping students that will later be of service to society," Miss Low gave us

the plays "Where the Cross Is Made," "Where Is My Money?" and "David Copper-

field" and dramatics were on a higher plane even than before.

At the Freshman Banquet, given in the gymnasium on November 5, each division

sang a song which it had composed itself. We realize now that we were sadly in need

of Miss Rand's course. After becoming acquainted, we chose class representatives for

the five divisions. They were John Tobin, George Harris, Jean Lindsay, Barbara

Prince, and Jean Taylor. Later we chose our class officers: Joseph Lesenechal, presi-

dent; Annette Patricia Breen, vice-president; Edward Tobin, secretary; and MaryO'Rourke, treasurer.

At Christmas we attended our first Christmas banquet and after the dinner enjoyed

a carol concert of familiar carols and English and foreign wassail songs directed by

Miss Rand. "Why the Chimes Rang" with Rosalie Lynch as Holger was given under

the direction of Miss Low.

And that horrible week of exams—we never knew that a week could crawl by

as that one did. We went through it somehow. The one in geography was the worst,

it seemed, although there were no easy ones.

That was the year that Carl Sandburg read his poetry to us and the Glee Club

gave its first concert singing old airs from England, Ireland, France, Hebrides, and the

Orient.

Toward the end of the year we gave our first social—with a baseball motif.

Venders sold peanuts, candy bars and ice cream cones, and "all one hundred and

sixty-four guests went home singing 'Take me out to the ball game'."

Dr. Scott left us to accept a position as superintendent of schools in Louisville,

Kentucky and a professorship of education in Louisville Municipal University.

Our first year came to an end. After carrying oak-boughs at the Ivy Planting,

we went home a little wiser and just a little sad, for even now we had become attached

to our Alma Mater.

SECOND YEAR

We came back all grown up this year, for somehow sophomores always think

they're grown-up. We were already for the freshmen—didn't we make them wear

baby bonnets and long black stockings, and believe me we didn't show any mercy.

Revenge is sweet, they say.

Dr. Maxwell and Mr. Davoren joined the faculty. Mr. Kelly, former dean of

men, became president of the college, and he remained president for the rest of our

four years.

Page 67

X-rays for tuberculosis showed that the entire class was free from disease. Someof us still retain the certificate, displaying it at odd moments. Dr. David Zacks, whohad charge of affairs, gave us some advice which we liked. He said, "Don't study too

much. There isn't one subject in your curriculum that is worth more to you than your

health. When you find yourself tired and bewildered from studying, stop."

The dramatic club gave us "Silas Marner" with Francis Callan in the title role.

At the election for class officers, we chose Martin Killory for president, Edwin

Randall for secretary, and Irma Wall for treasurer.

When we look back this seems rather a vague year, slipping by before we were

aware that it had done so. We are left with a jumbled memory of a series of tests

given by Miss Lutz—each test different, Russian dramas and poisonings, shaping

delightful bowls from horrible, slippery clay, and making our first chalk drawings—an

adventure in dust, glorious color, and dirty fingers.

We still carried oak boughs at the ivy festival, but we were nearer to the juniors.

We felt like juniors rather than sophomores, for we realized now that we were really

growing up.

THIRD YEAR

This was the year that we went into the Training School. You consulted the list

of assignments to see which teacher you would have. Probably you did not know the

teacher very well; you may have seen her a couple of times. You were worried and

scared and you spent the first day in a daze. It wasn't half so bad as you had thought.

Miss Davis gave us a talk and some of the tension left us. During the first recess some

of the little girls invited us to jump rope with them. We forgot that we were juniors

—

grown-up—quite sophisticated—and we jumped rope gladly. Our first lesson was

not half so bad as we had anticipated, although we were irritated at the knocking

sound which turned out to be our knees. We had to teach for Miss Rand and for

Mr. Reynolds. Somehow we lived through these first lessons. Both Mr. Reynolds

and Miss Rand were very kind to us; one felt they may have taught sometime for the

first time also.

We remember one rainy day how wet the playground was—shining and packed

down with rain. That was the worst day. After this—or about this time—most of us

became enthusiastic about Training School or at least what looked like enthusiasm.

Since there was no drawing class for the seniors, those interested in drawing

petitioned Mr. Reynolds and Miss Nye for some kind of drawing period. The result

was the Sketch Group which was composed of twenty juniors and seniors. The group

met once a week to sketch—out-of-doors as much as possible. Some of us will never

forget the cold windy afternoons, the water-clammy brushes, and the dripping draw-

ings which would not dry. The wiser ones used chalk on a day like this. Then later wewould have a fire and look at the moon as we ate.

On November 18, we attended the S. C. A. formal. The decorations were in

blue-green and silver and the World Fair was the motif. Do you remember Rusty

Logan and Jane Raymond constructing the trylon and the perisphere?

We had many enjoyable chapel programs this year. The German Club under

the direction of David Levenson gave a happy program. The stage represented the

main dining room of a Hofbrau. There was a quartet of singing waitresses, folk dances,

and music by a German band. The Federal Theatre Players brought us Marlowe's

"Tragical History of Dr. Faustus." We watched Faust sell his soul to the Devil and

Page 68

finally be carried away by devils. The devils had a delightful pyro-fashion of making

an appearance.

The Junior Social was carried on in a "western" fashion. The gym was changed

into a desert scene with red-spotted cows and bulls, lending a western atmosphere.

This was the year of the hurricane. Many of the spruce trees on the lower campus

were torn up. Subsequently beautification of the campus started and there were plans

to replace some of the trees lost in the hurricane. But it seems that all we have noware the plans.

The sophomore and junior classes sponsored the Crystal Snow Ball. Faye Postle

was crowned Campus Snow Queen.

The Dramatic Club gave "Annie Laurie" which was particularly well received.

The president of the Student Cooperative Association was chosen from the junior

class as we would be leaders in the college next year. Barbara Taylor became presi-

dent; Irma Wall, first vice-president; and Nan Purtell, second vice-president.

The first Bridgewater night at the Pops Concert in Symphony Hall was held this

year, and all the musical organizations as well as the rest of the college were enthu-

siastic.

The Saturday Art classes were held for Training School pupils who were interested

in art. This plan was inaugurated and sponsored by Mr. Reynolds. Seniors and juniors

helped him conduct the classes.

Mr. Reynolds announced at the end of the year that he had accepted a position

at the Massachusetts School of Art. Later he became president of that school. Wewere very sorry to have him leave us.

So our junior year ended. During those last few days it seemed to us that we had

hardly any more time to spend in the college,- our senior year would go by very

swiftly.

FOURTH YEARWe came back to the college as seniors this year. It is a great responsibility

to be leaders of the college. We realize this and try to act properly dignified, but

somehow, even for seniors, at times it is difficult. Senior Week gave us our first oppor-

tunity to wear cap and gown. They laughed at us at home but we knew that we were

impressive. We could see it in the eyes of the freshmen, but then the freshmen are

always impressed.

This was the hundredth anniversary of the college and the first centennial program

was celebrated in chapel. Francis Callan and Gerald Connor, having won a speaking

competition, made the announcements and gave the readings. A brief history of the

college was shown, and Training School pupils participated in the program.

Classes kept us sufficiently busy this year, too. We studied philosophies of educa-

tion and learned to ctmpute I.Q.'s and more than once after exams we wondered

about our own. Our time was divided into periods of reading Shakespeare, reading

the "New York Times" for journalism, and acting in impromptu love scenes for drama-

tization. Then came our period of practice teaching.

At Mardi Gras, Helen Judge was chosen queen. The next important social

affair was Campus Carnival.

Before we realized it, it was time to graduate. Baccalaureate, the Senior Prom,

the Class Picnic, the Faculty Reception, Class Day and Commencement were over

before we were aware of it. The Centennial Pageant impressed us greatly and we fel

that since we must go, it was good to go at the climax of the history of the college.

There's the tower

Against the silver sunset.

I have seen it

With delicate tree-dishevel behind it

Or a light burnished morning sky

Pouring out amplitudes of sun

on the dome.

Through blazing rain-zig-zags I have

seen it

—

Among the blunderings of mist,

In the blueness of fog

In the snow—the sleeping snow.

Now I will not see it again,

For I am going away,

Having reached the chronological point

After the passage of four years

When I secure a degree.

GRADUATE STUDENTS

These grad students certainly know how to combine business with pleasure.

Did you ever know a more funful group? Some of them we have known in their

previous years at Bridgewater,- with the others we have soon become acquainted.

Although it is only a year that they have been with us as a group, they have made a

worthy name for themselves in the eyes of the underclassmen.

The daisy-chain, carried by the junior women represents a guard of honor for the seniors.

The ivy, which is planted and also carried by each graduate, symbolizes the spirit of comradeship

and good fellowship.

The Alma Mater, sung by the seniors at the conclusion of the march, signifies the continual

renewal of their loyalty for the college.

Days seem to have sped by since we have risen from our obscurity as Freshmen to prominence as

Juniors.

Entering upon our first experiences as teachers we found much enjoyment in this field, and now with a

great deal of curiosity and animation we anticipate next year's teaching in the Public School System. The

added professional air is attributed to this period, and a new appreciation of the method and cultural courses

is realized.

On Tuesday, October 3, 1939, the Sophomore Class held its first meeting of the year. A discussion

concerning the taking of attendance in chapel ended in a motion that the class was opposed to this practice.

At the next meeting it was announced that our class should present a chapel program. The following

meeting consisted of a discussion of the program, and the decision was reached that we should have an In-

formation Please Program. Chapel conduct was the topic of discussion at the next meeting, at which time

Miss Lutz spoke to the class.

During the first week of school in September, 1939, when the freshman class of potential teachers

entered Bridgewater, they wonderingly took English exams and struggled with their programs until they were

at last adjusted. Although they considered this rather difficult, they were yet to find out what one had to go

through in order to become formally a member of Bridgewater. Flowing green neckties and freshman caps

were sported by the boys, while yellow ribbons, Indian style, adorned the young ladies' foreheads. White

cotton stockings, a huge name band across her chest, and a pillow case for carrying books produced more

aggravation on the part of the girls. However, both boys and girls were good sports about it and a large

crowd attended the party sponsored by the sophomores, at which time the "freshies" willingly abandoned

their initiation togs.

In December a freshman party was held when the candidates for class officers were introduced to the

students and the faculty.

March 26 was the date of the humorous chapel program in charge of Lois Smith. In this program

freshman life was depicted in four scenes: initiation, mid-year exams, a typical speech class, and a typical

music class.

A freshman tea was sponsored on April 8, Edna Dolber being in charge. It was held in the Tilling-

hast reception hall by Miss Pope's Social Usage classes.

"Spring Fever," an ailment typical to most freshmen, was the theme of their social. Madeline Baker

acted as general chairman of the affair which was held on Friday, April 26, at the gym.

This concludes a very active and co-operative freshman year, and the entire class hopes that their next

three years here will be as happy and successful as their first.

IN THE LOWER GARDEN

In the lily-pad pool in the lower garden,

The scarlet-orange fish travel in swift jerks

In and out bruised, purple water-stalks,

Their cold lips moving slowly.

A moss-backed, old father-frog

For the first time this year

Has come out of the deep, soft mud.

He swims feebly—desultorily.

On impulse one picks him up

And feels the frightened heart-beat in his throat.

Repenting, one puts him back into the green water

Where he floats all crumpled up and terrified.

The sharp flashing of golden-orange fish goes on.

One goes away

Feeling worried about the frog.

ON SUBSTITUTING FOR THE

FIRST TIME

Reading blindly from the Psalms,

One agonizes,

"If they should laugh now

Or suddenly revolt,

Throwing books at each other—!"

They do not revolt.

They say their prayers properly.

The Student Co-Operative Association is the most important and active organization in this college.

Every student automatically becomes a member of the association upon entrance.

Two meetings are held each month instead of one as has been the practice in previous years.

The organizations represented on the Student Council are the following: 1. Class Presidents; 2. Repre-

sentatives from the divisions of all classes; 3. President of Day Students and of Dormitory Council; 4. President

of Men's Club; 5. President of Women's Athletic Association; 6. President of Men's Athletic Association

7. Executive Editor of "Campus Comment"; 8. Editor-in-Chief of "Alpha"; 9. Chairman of Standing Com-

mittees; and all officers of Student Co-Operative Association.

At Christmas time the Council directed the traditional drive to collect money for the needy. Gifts

were also given at this time to members of the staff that their untiring services might be recognized.

Under the direction of the Social Activities Committee, an interesting program was planned for the

year.

The curtains purchased for the gymnasium by S.C.A. were First used at the Frost Frolic Formal over

which King Winter reigned. This proved to be one of the most successful functions of the year. The Council

also sponsored Sue Hastings and her Marionette Show which proved to be both educational and amusing.

"S.C.A. Says," an innovation in "Capmus Comment," is a means of forming a closer alliance with the

Council and the student body.

Student Council stands as an organization ready to extend hospitality to all of our visitors. This is

especially significant now because of the Centennial celebrations.

Students are encouraged at all times to present problems and suggestions that pertain to student life

and student welfare. This year the decisions and problems brought before the association have been dis-

cussed openly and have been acted upon without faculty assistance.

This year we had an active council made up of the officers and twenty representatives of the day stu-

given a chance to get acquainted with the freshmen, participate in games and enjoy doughnuts and cider.

Everyone turned outfor the Commuters' Social in March, and for Open House at which time parents had

opportunity to renew acquaintances with the faculty and to observe some work and changes which had

taken place during the year.

Dormitory Council began its '39-'40 season by furnishing committees to welcome the Freshmen.

Thus one of the aims was fulfilled. The aim of the organization is to give each girl living in the dormitories

a chance to express her opinions and criticisms. Both dormitories have several representatives on council,

who act co-operatively in making and enforcing rules necessary for dormitory life. Dormitory Council is

directly responsibile for student life in the dormitories. It makes and enforces regulations that govern the

general conduct of students; thereby making dormitory life as happy and as pleasant as possible for everyone.

This year, as in past years, Library Club presented programs with the aim of giving to its members a

cultural appreciation of literature. Reviews of the new books given by members of the club and general dis-

cussion periods added to the understanding of contemporary novels, plays, and non-fiction. Plays and mov-

ing pictures were compared with the original books and other books dealing with the same subjects were

read to give a more complete understanding or to see how they could be treated by another author.

Literature in its interpretive and social aspects was brought to us when the club attended a production

of the "Little Foxes" in Boston, a student from Emerson College dramatized classical drama, and we entered

rhe Men's Athletic Association's one act play contest.

The membership of Library Club is of necessity limited, but it is the desire of Club the to assist in satis-

fying the literary desires of the rest of the student body. The Lending Library, specializing in contemporary

literoture under the sponsorship of Library Club, attempts to do so.

luncheon is served in the commuters' social room. Entertainment, games, and impersonations are the most

popular forms of activity at such events.

A theatre party was organized this year at which time some of the members went to Boston and saw

Raymond Massey in "Abe Lincoln in Illinois" at the opera house. A banquet is being planned for the last

Are you well acquainted with current topics? It is the primary aim of the Topics of the Day Club to

help its members make this acquaintance. As a means to this end, all members are given an opportunity to

discuss pertinent questions of the day. The club believes that in this way, real thinking is started and interest

is aroused so that members begin to take an active rather than a passive interest in current affairs. The appli-

cation of a knowledge of history to the discussion of current questions makes history richer, more meaningful

and more useful to its owner.

Meetings are held on every other Tuesday afternoon at three-thirty. The program is usually given by

the students who present lectures, arguments, debates and discussions. The year generally opens with an

out-door party for new members which is always attended by a large number. At Christmas time another

party is held. A banquet at a near-by inn is usually the closing meeting.

In recent years there has been an increasing trend toward the further development of avocations.

The slogan has been "At least one hobby for every person." Hobby Club aims to promote and maintain active

interests in favorite avocations and to supply information and materials which pertain to them to any who are

interested. At the first meeting of the year Mr. Stearns, our advisor, showed us his numerous hobbies and

told about others to suggest hobbies to those members who had not acquired one. Throughout the year mem-

bers talked about their hobbies and occasionally outside speakers were presented. The Hobby Exhibit at

the end of the year gave non-members a chance to see some of our work. Ruth Kravif, Secretary

At a time when the majority of people pay little attention to gardens and to nature, Garden Club and

its members still maintain these qualities. This club furnishes opportunity to study nature and to learn the

secrets of plant life. For those who previously maintained an interest in gardening it provides an opportunity

to further this interest.

The meetings combine the practical and the theoretical. An informal business session is followed by

practical tasks such as planting, making cuttings, Or potting plants. The club stresses informality since it feels

that anything as living, as natural, as a garden cannot be associated with business-like formality.

At Christmas time the club members gave their help in decorating the auditorium and the dormitories.

The brilliant poinsettias, carefully nurtured in the garden, aided in this task. Carolyn Turner, Secretary

One of the aims of the Science Club is to promote an active interest in the study of science here at

Bridgewater. Our meetings this year have been devoted to subjects which not only correlate with class work,

but become good supplementary material as well. We have learned by doing. Our unit on astronomy took

us out on clear nights to study the majestic wonders of the heavens. In geology we not only heard and read

about rocks and their formation, but we saw and felt them.

In our nature study, which has lasted throughout every season, we have tried to stress those points

which would be most interesting to children of all grades. This knowledge which the members of the club

get from observation, research, and outside speakers is practical and applicable for the present and the future.

Young, but healthy, the Press Club of freshman and sophomore journalism enthusiasts and Campus

Comment staff aspirants studied the fundamentals of newspaper writing by having such reporters as John

visiting newspaper plants, by laboratory work, and by publishing a daily news bulletin. Our aim is: Press

Club members today; publication faculty members tomorrow.

Kindergarten-Primary Club brings together each year a group of students interested in the Kinder-

We keep in step with the progressive movements in this held through our many contacts with well

known educators, not only at our meetings but at some of the conferences to which we send our delegates.

Through these contacts our members also acquire a better understanding of the young child and his abilities.

In addition to this, the club tries to instigate a realization of the important position of the Kindergarten and

primary grades in relation to the whole school system.

The members benefit by the social phase of the Kindergarten-Primary Club. We have an Initiation

Party to welcome the new members and to acquaint them with the other club members. Various other parties

are held throughout the year. The banquet, the gala affair of the year, brings our program to a close.

A better appreciation of German culture and tradition was the theme of the German Club's activities.

Because no beginner's course in German was offered this year, students wishing to become familiar

enough with the language to join the club were tutored by members who volunteered to give lessons. This

unique plan proved very successful and several new members were admitted after attending the classes.

The true spirit of German customs was captured at every meeting of Der Deutsche Verein. The Christ-

mas party was the realization of the promised "Surprise." Every detail of the traditions and customs of

Deutschland was carried out even to the German games, Christmas carols, and German pastry.

At the musical meeting members presented vocal and instrumental music of the great German com-

posers. Group singing of the ever popular and beautiful German songs fulfilled one of the main objectives

of the club: to create a feeling of Gemutlichkeit.

Students advanced in the study of German as well as those who studied at the classes conducted by

club members had an opportunity to use their conversational powers at the "Game and Table Talk" meeting.

The climax of a successful year was the annual trip to German musums and to the Hofbrau.

The Women's Glee Club started one of its most successful seasons this year by singing at the Plymouth

County Teachers' Convention at Brockton during the latter part of October. Immediately following this first

performance, preparation was started for the fourth annual broadcast of Christmas carols over Station WEEIin Boston.

The usual spring concert, given in the auditorium, succeeded by our second "Bridgewater Night at

the Pops," served to make this one of the busiest years the Glee Club has known.

On March 8, the Orchestra presented its concert with Mischa Tulin as guest artist. Compositions of

Strauss and Hayden by the Orchestra contributed to the tremendous success of this concert.

Camera Club's program (or this year might be described by just one word—variety. Among the many

activities were: illustrated lectures, movies, lessons in developing films, exhibitions, a scavenger hunt, and,

last and best, a beach party.

Included as speakers on the subject of photography, were Mr. Huffington,- he gave an illustrated lec-

ture on colored photography. An outside speaker, Mr. R. A. Waldeman, showed us the very popular movie

among camera club fans, "Lights and Shadows." Some of our more experienced members talked before

the group on subjects such as, how to develop a film and the composition in a picture.

¥***

Each year W.A.A. tries to outdo its own record. The highlights of the year are most indicative of

this effort.

This year, W.A.A. delved more into the social life of the college with a Dance recital and reception

with Pauline Chellis. A new venture— it was well supported by a students, faculty, and townspeople.

The annual Basketball Play-day with Salem was stretched a bit this year due to the blizzard. The

main purposes of this play-day are social contacts and fun, and naturally there was more opportunity for

these in an overnight stop. Many seniors cherish memories of four play-days with Salem, but this one was

the best.

Another new venture was the Tennis Play-day with Hyannis in the fall. Of course tennis is a warm

weather game and it was freezing that day! We had supper in the Commuters' Room and sang and played

table games.

The second annual Alumni Co-Recreational Sports Day was successful and established this event as a

Bridgewater tradition.

The regular sports program was well supported throughout the year. It was climaxed by the Spring

Round-up and banquet which, as always, were the beginning of our good-byes to the seniors.

Boyden Men's Club is designed to permit all the men of the college to know each other better and

to bring them together as a unit. Under the leadership of George Harris, a series of get-togethers was

sponsored which was definitely successful as a means of creating better mutual understanding and friend-

ship among the members of the club and between them and the members of the faculty. Smokers and en-

tertainments were held, as well as a fine dramatic production, "Hamlet." Opportunity was provided

for hearing interesting speakers and for all members to display hidden talents which were received enthusi-

astically.

The annual Father and Son Banquet and entertainment in May brought the Club's program to an en-

joyable conclusion.

EXPLANATION OF THE BOOK

Because the 1940 Alpha is dedicated to two of our most illustrious faculty mem-bers, we have tried to make this issue as fine as possible. We congratulate Miss Beal

and Mr. Reynolds in their new positions and wish them every possible success. In the

plates throughout the book we have endeavored to show the major interests and ac-

tivities of both.

The classes plate, designed by Alice and Agnes Richardson, tries in a small wayto depict the many and varied activities carried on in Mr. Reynold's classes.

In the S. C. A. illustration, designed by John Henry Fitzgerald, he conveys the

idea of the many duties that Miss Beal despatched with amazing ease.

The interests that occupied Mr. Reynolds' few leisure moments are portrayed by

the activities plate.

A new addition to Alpha is our 1940 plate, designed by Lysbeth Lawrence,

illustrating the many outside pleasures enjoyed by our new State Supervisor of Ele-

mentary Education.

May our efforts make your 1940 Alpha a more attractive book.

MISS RUTH E. DAVIS

For several years Alpha has prospered under the advisorship of Miss Ruth E. Davis.

We shall miss her counsel, and we are grateful for the wisdom of her guidance, her richness

of personality and her intuitive sympathy.

ON FIRST USING OILS

So much has escaped my brush!

You see—there is afternoon sun on an old hill

Turning the grass light and golden.

The stonewall is a squirrel-highroad

And a sunning spot for light, quick serpents

Alert even to shadow movement.

The hill is inhabited by innumerable rabbits.

They enter with a scramble of hind-legs

Through a briar-concealed hole.

The birch trees—the old moon-glimmers—are light blue..

And the leaves are light, quick stars.

These things have escaped my brush;

One should say in an assured tone

On seeing the picture

—

THERE ARE RABBITS

IN THAT HILL!

DR. ZENOS SCOn

One of our most vivid memories is of the man who first made our class welcome at

college. We are thankful that he was with us during one of our college years. An idealist

and an ideal, he instilled in us love for our college and enthusiasm for our chosen profession.

Page 103

THE BAD BOY

He is a bad boy, one has been told.

The class knows it, and he realizes

That he has certain responsibilities

In that direction.

He laughs loudly—"Hoo, hoo, hoo!"

Suddenly one notices

That his eyes are friendly.

"Come here, sir," one says politely.

"Will you please

Try to be good?"

He considers, but he won't answer.

At his seat, he still considers.

The rest of the day he is somewhat subdued.

At the end,

He stops before one.

"Hey, Teacher,

Did I do good today?"

His eyes are timid,

Pleading for approbation.

Page 104

FIRE DRILLS

"Fire drill tonight"—how these words echo from room to room

on fire drill nights. It's supposed to be a secret, but somehow when

the time rolls around, everyone knows. Oh, I wouldn't go so far as

to say everyone, for there are those people like "Barb" Taylor and

"Spud" Murphy who always manage to be in the bath tub when the

alarm goes off. They sit there wondering if they should get out, or

stay there and take the consequences. Finally their sense of duty

makes them act. And then it's a mad dash for a towel and a house-

coat. You slip on the soap and almost break your neck, and your

feet when they're wet never fit into your slippers. You're ready for

that final sprint down the hall. You dash out of the door, and much

to your surprise you find the rest of them coming back.

But that's not half as heartbreaking as it is to those who find

themselves in bed, miles and miles away from earthly things. They

wake with a start and think, "another day is here," and much to

their surprise they find it's not the alarm clock, but the fire bell.

The kindly roommate thrusts her into a coat, and they follow the

rest of the clattering feet down into the basement. Many a blank

phrase has been uttered by more than one much "becurlered" co-ed

on such a night.

And then there are always those fastidious few who steal a

few minutes from home lessons for shampooing hair. They join the

throng downstairs looking like so many sultans dressed for a feast.

But the problem is, the soap always finds its way into at least one

eye, while they're on the way down, and the point of the fire drill

is lost. Blinded by an excess of lather, you are not able to see if

that cute freshman on third has naturally curly hair, or if she, like so

many others, makes her fraud appearance in curlers.

But to the fire captains goes a word of praise. Her's is an un-

envied position. Up the hall she rushes like a mother hen looking for

her lost chicks. She rounds up her squad only to find someone is

missing. It never fails to happen, someone is always missing. Andafter much searching and much thought, comes the great decision.

The missing one is out on a ten-fifteen. She makes her report only to

find someone behind her left ear saying, "I beat you down here."

And something inside of her keeps saying "Smile, fire captain,

smile," and all the time her heart is saying—well it certainly doesn't

keep silent.

And so it goes every year. And despite the solemn resolutions,

each fire drill finds someone in a similar predicament. But most of us

in the "dorm" belong to that great sisterhood called "The Wardrobe

Hangers." We have one aim in college life, and we hope to realize

that aim before we graduate. And our aim is, (just as the magician

who removes the covering from the table without disturbing the

dishes), to reach into the closet for a coat in our haste out the door,

and not come back to find our wardrobe decorating our shoes on

the floor.

OUR LOCKER ROOM

«ssfcfi^l££

Washington had his "Mount Vernon," Rebecca had her

"Manderley," and Stephen Foster had his "Old Kentucky Home,"

but despite the fame and magnificence of these edifices, they are

nothing as compared to the structures in the basement of Boyden

Hall which are the temporary homes of the "day-hops." There, in

a very small area, stands their city which embodies many of the

municipality's necessities in 6' by 1' lockers. A locker may be small,

but it's still home because home is where you hang your hat, and

somewhere in the dim records of B. T. C. there's something that says

lockers in the basement are designated as places for commuters' hats

and coats. In the course of years this idea has of necessity been out-

lawed in the interests of more important things such as art kits,

crackers, and tennis rackets, but Jhe idea of home remains.

Lockers are queer places. They consist of a door, a shelf,

and three hangers. The door is important because at least ten min-

utes of every twelve spent at a locker are used in opening and clos-

ing the combination lock on the door. Then agian, they are impor-

tant for they are consistently in the way when one wends a peril-

ous way through the narrow rowi with innumerable books in one's

arms.

The shelf of a locker is perhaps the most versatile object in

Boyden Hall. It can be a medicine chest, a bookcase, a hat hanger,

and a grocery store all at once, having any thing from frostbite cure

to crackers.

Do not let the impression be created that a commuter lives in

Boyden Hall. This, of course, is erroneous for everyone spends a

brief part of each day in a house. However, the average commuter

will tell you what a very small part this plays in his existence, for

his house is just a mere stop over between hurried trips by train,

bus, car, and "road-side "felicitation" to B. T. C. The only real

spirit of living and resting is found in the locker room in Boyden

Hall. There, amid the clanging of many doors (a locker door never

closes without a clang) they enjoy a transient existence which no

one minds and everyone loves.
