A furious attack was focussed on the young army. Severe injuries were sustained from the combat, although there were no fatalities, the army was rudely shaken with the realization of the hugeness of the task that lay before them. During the months of intensified effort which followed, an occasional bright spot inserted itself in the dark days of study. One of these was the

obstacles were geographv notebooks, lesson plans, typewriting budgets, amanuensis,
psychology themes, and salesmanship projects. During the months that ensued, the company was held rigidly to the course until, in December, the squad was broken up, each member being sent forth to reconnoiter in the field of salesmanship. His duty was threefold: satisfying the customer, satisfying the store, and satisfying the require-
ments of the course. 71
The Year ^Book
1929
Social affairs, fetes and functions vital in army life, were not lacking for the company. "Dulcy, the Perfect Saleslady", a one-act play, was creditably produced. This was later followed by a musical skit, "A Girl for Each Day in the Year." Then came the Boston Harbor trip in which the regiment, contrary to expectation, were not landlubbers, but weathered the trip like old salts. Members were manifesting an interest in clubs. The Glee Club, Geography Club, Commercial Club, and W. A. A. attracted many. Again the foe, Marks, advanced, and after a strenuous combat was beaten back. There were a few casualties, some trivial, some more serious. In May 1927, an ally, Professor Chandler, encamped in School quarters seeking the aid of the little armv in his campaign for facts. That he might win his campaign, two orderlies were assigned to him each period to take, verbatim, an entire class lesson. The training greatlv strengthened the army's confidence, and gave them increased courage. In recognition of the services so willingly given him, Professor Chandler left the regiment a sum of money. A silver shield was purchased to inspire the classes participating in type-
writing contests.
With June came the prospects of another combat. Although the hard, resilient "Thou shalt not pass", all but a few push through. Two years of

We made plans to meet that evening to talk over old times. Once inside, I was greeted graciouslv by Madame herself, none other than Flo Mayer whom I recognized by her old time giggle. She told me that the models would appear immediately, and forthwith from the inner rooms stepped Pauline Merchant, Marge Obear, Carolyn Thatcher, Chickie Laird, June Atwood, and Dot Snow. Pauline wore the new balloon bathing costume; Marge, the latest airplane outfits; Chickie, the newest athletic costumes; June, the most stunning tea gowns and dance frocks. Dot Snow effectively showed off the new rain apparel, a long cape with an inner coat and a hat similar to the fireman's hat of 1929. Her penchant for rain apparel was developed while trudging between the Normal School and the Salem Station. Carolyn Thatcher was financial adviser and business manager of the establishment. Everyone had the highest praise for her cooperation and efficient control. The admirable traits of Normal School Year Book days have carried over through the years. After the style show, we lunched together in one of the leading tea rooms of Paris and were waited on by Esther Alcock. After she left Normal School she took a course in tea room management. it

Well, let them fly to all ends of the earth; I won't care, for I don't believe anybody can be happier than I. Rooting for the Army has always given me enjoyment and probably always will. On looking through the rest of her mail, Mrs. Humphrey found an invitation from Reverend and Mrs. Gerald Boone (the former Marion Perry) to a dinner for the married members of the class of 1929- For the rest of the week until the eventful dinner, Mrs. Humphrey's curiosity knew no bounds.

Dear Madeline: You had plenty

Imagine my amazement at finding among the dinner guests, Winnie Brennan, who after completing a course in aeronautics in St. Louis in 1932, married a prominent aviator. Grace Risman, now the wife of Professor Rov Davis, was there listening as intently as usual for the grammatical errors the rest of us made. Dr. and Mrs. J, Russell Smith (Mvra Burwell) sat opposite us. Next to them were Senor and Senorita R. U. Argentine. The senorita is the former Gertrude Holt. Assisting the host and hostess were Mr. and Mrs. Charles Birdson (Vic Honohan). After graduating, Vic took a course in home economics at Fanny Farmer's School of Cookery. While she was there, she fell in love with Mr. Birdson who was at the time laying a Neponset floor in the kitchen of the school. When dinner was over, we adjourned to the drawing-room where entertainment was furnished by the noiseless trio, "Wensocwa." Marie Wentzell played a harp solo. the

Often a citizen of Salem became suspicious of a group of skyward-gazing persons. While in the act of warning the city's detective force, a tiny, gray-accoutred figure would be seen. Then suspicion died; the worthy citizens of Salem knew that it was Mr. Whitney's art class out for a walk. Many walks were enjoyed, down Lafayette Street, across Essex Street into old Salem,

where the instructor sketched as his pupils stood beside him. It has been said, not without foundation, that among certain of the faculty not an ugly thing was left in the universe. Beauty was everywhere. With Miss Goldsmith it was in every tree, flower, and bird; with Mr. Whitney it was architecture; Miss Lvons stimulated students into re-creating the beauty they had seen. Life itself became a tantalizing poem of Beauty. Besides the upperclass party, the first social event of any consequence was the dinner partv at Mrs. Condor's home.

During the senior year the now dignified Junior High class was divided into two groups, the scientific and the literary. Junior High Senior I, the literary group, was first to go in training. They found themselves enthusiastically eager to launch into professional
life after a
second brief experience in training.
Upon returning to S. N. S., the Junior High Senior I history class formed a Forum. The class Forum soon became in itself a mock League of Nations with eighteen members. Winnie, Fran, and Helen C. attended the Model Assembly of the at Holyoke. They efficiently transferred to the club the points learned.

In the gallery of the hall, among the onlookers, was an attractive matron who proved to be Florence MacKinnon touring Europe with her son and daughter. Another spectator was Ethel Lawrie, now a millionaire traveling in style.

Rose makes an ideal secretary, efficient and diplomatic, agreeing with everything the superintendent says. Evelyn Hughes, so the telescope showed, was teaching English at Boston University. Izzie Cheney was teaching history and had no less than sixteen bulletin boards adorning the walls of her room. Our two Marys, Dineen and Bond, were both teaching geography. Mary Dineen no longer had to patronize the Boston and Maine because she had her own Ford plane. If you remembered that May Bond sat beside Miss Ware's mineral collection for one entire quarter the last year at S. N.

And it was no idle boast for there were Spanish shawls, English crockery, Italian laces, Grecian pastries, German steins, Czechoslovakian leather, Swedish spreads, Austrian candy, Russian garments, Dutch cheese, French wine, Lithuanian amber, Polish handwork, Danish landscapes, Hungarian peasant girls, Belgian landscapes, a Bulgarian lady, and even the Swiss Alps. In addition the seniors did original handwork including production maps, graphs, and compositions. An interesting feature was the collection of dolls dressed to represent various European countries. The Blood Company of Lynn set up a European food exhibit to complete the work. There were canned goods, breads, and all the cheeses imaginable. Every night the cheese had to be put in a glass cabinet in the art room to prevent the mice from helping themselves. The exhibition was held from Monday, January twenty-first to Friday, January twenty-fifth. On Friday pictures were taken by Mr. Whitman.

The unsophisticated shine which marked us as Freshmen had, we thought, dulled a bit. We entered into the party with a vigor. Each girl was told to wear her name and address on a slip of paper. The tall girls wore two-by-four inch identification tags while the tiny girls were quite hidden behind their huge banners! We played games and felt, when the party was over, that we knew at least two more freshmen and possibly one more senior. Some of us were already becoming acquainted with the training school. We observed classes and diligently wrote our observations. We had picked our favorites and hoped that, as Seniors, we might be fortunate enough to explain the mysteries of the 9's table or the location of Roumania.

About this time Senior I returned to our midst. It amused us for a few days to see them floundering around. How startled they were to hear bells ringing at odd hours! How afraid they were that they would be taken for Freshmen! The school now had the unusual pleasure of hearing Mrs. Ferguson, a reader of Dickens. She gave selections from Dickens's novels in a manner that completely captivated her audience. Following the reading, tea was served in the literature room. The Seniors were again hosts and hostesses at a Christmas party. The entertainment was especially unique, probably because an Elementary was in charge. A scene from The Birds' Christmas Carol was given with such reality that the audience quite forgot that the girl in the apron giving motherly advice, was not Mrs. Ruggles but "Al" Peterson. Mrs. Ruggles and her children enjoyed the dancing and refreshments, apparently forgetting their hair-ribbons and scoldings.

To determine the significance of the Club's name, a special program was given. There was considerable discussion of the life and works of John Burroughs, the world-famed nature lover and author. The Club cast its vote for the selection of an American National Flower, the Phlox. Among the notable places visited were the Arnold Arboretum, Agassiz Museum, the Museum of Natural History, and the Centennial Exhibition of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, The Peabody Museum, and the Ropes Memorial Gardens of Salem. The John Burroughs Club, a member of the Federation of Bird Clubs of New England, attended a convention of the North Eastern Bird Banding Association. Alice Patten and Esther Hargrove, the delegates, were introduced to Dallas Lore Sharpe, Gilbert Bearson, and other nature writers. The John Burroughs Club also planted the ivy on Class Day. 128

looked forward to as the close of athletics for weather last year it was impossible to hold the meet. As we go to print the W. A. A. is planning however, to hold the meet this year. The usual feats of skill entered are: the running high jump; hop, step and jump; basketball and baseball throw for distance; and the fifty-yard dash. Both interclass competition and individual achievement are stressed. Gold, silver, and bronze medals will be awarded to the first, second, and third individual winners respectively. Following a precedent established last year, the activities of the Women's Athletic Association will be closed officially at a banquet. The banquet last year was attended by active as well as alumni members. Mr. Carl Schrader, Supervisor of Physical Education in Massachusetts, was guest speaker. There were also speeches by the following: Miss Florence Somers, founder of the W. A. A. and former physical education instructor at S. N. S.; Miss Wallace, present instructor in physical education and faculty adviser of the association; Miss Hale, former assistant instructor; past presidents and representatives, and president Cook.
