school for twenty-five years. Each teacher, in the order of his service at the school, gave an informal speech,

congratulating Dr. Pitman on his achievements.

The speeches were given in the following order: Mr. Whitman, Mr. Sproul, Mr. Little, Mr. Phillips, Mr. Moody, Mr. Rockwell, Mr. Woods and Dr. Pitman. Our principal was genuinely surprised, for he hardly realized that he had served Salem Normal School for twenty-five years. During the same week, the employees of the school presented Dr. Pitman with a basket of beautiful flowers.

He was remembered by the faculty with a gift of books, "'American Statesmen" Howard Griggs, and "Builders of the Bay Colony" by Morrison. the morning of February 3, the chapel program at Salem Normal School was in On Dr. Pitman's anniversary.

Pitman has helped our school it is fitting and proper that we should join with him in celebrating this anniversary, paving tribute to him for things that he has done for our school. We have with us members from the field of education who are happy to pay their respects to our principal." Miss Gertrude Goldsmith, head of the nature study department, spoke a few words for the faculty saying: "It would really be difficult to review Dr. Pitman's many achievements during these past 25 years. He has always shown his geniality, generosity, sympathy, readiness to help, and willingness to cooperate at any time. His outstanding characteristics are an appreciation of our attempt to do something better in our work and for the school as a whole, and his willingness to let us work out our ideas. It is very easy to discuss difficulties with Dr. Pitman. There is no red gave an introductory speech to rank

Mr. George M. Bemis, superintendent of the Salem schools was introduced as the He responded: "Never before have I had an opportunity to tell my opinion of the school. There are 113 members of our teaching force who are graduates of Salem Normal School and many present high school pupils are looking forward with real pleasure to coming to the normal school. I am happy on this pleasant occasion to say to you and to the members of the faculty that, in my opinion, you are doing remarkably good work. It has been my duty and privilege to work with many young women who have come to us from year to vear. Thev have come with the real attitude, real desire for professional work in the schools. Dr. Pitman has always taken a very active part in the civic affairs of Salem. As a member of the planning hoard, president of the Chamber of Commerce, a Rotarian, and in many other ways, he has been known and respected by all classes of people. Dr. Pitman cooperates in every possible way, and it is a real pleasure to tell him at this time of my esteem for him as educator, citizen and friend." Mrs. Mildred Merrill Howe, president of the alumni association of Pitman classes, was next introduced. She spoke as follows: "It is a pleasure and an honor to be here to represent the classes who have graduated under Dr. Pitman. The school is about the same from all outside appearances though a few things are changed. The assembly hall used to have desks in it and the gymnasium had no showers. Even Dr. Pitman looks and acts just the same. As freshmen we hardly knew him and dreaded conferences in that private office, but as seniors we came to know him and to appreciate him. It is to express the appreciation of the alumni to you, Dr. Pitman, that I am here." Mrs. Howe then presented Dr. Pitman with a very beautiful watch as a gift from the Pitman classes. Frank W. Wright, commissioner of education and director of the normal schools next speaker.

of Massachusetts, read the 1905-1906 report of the board of visitors written at the

time of the appointment of the principal of this school.

"The most important event in the school that year," he said, "was the appointment of J. Asbury Pitman, superintendent of schools in Marlborough, as principal of the Salem Normal School. Dr. Pitman entered at the beginning of the second term of the school year. Through his wise, skillful and untiring guidance, and through his considerateness and fairmindedness, the school has gained in a

way

to give satis-

faction to the students, faculty, and board of education."

Mr. Wright mentioned the fact that the other nine normal schools have all changed principals at least once, and many twice, during his 14 years as commissioner, but Salem has retained Dr. Pitman. He added: "Since this school was founded 76 years ago, there have been 5792 graduates. As a single institution that has turned into the teaching ranks in this and other states, Salem Normal School has sent out, prepared to teach, that total, and of that entire number, 3013 have been graduated under the administration of Dr. Pitman. 8

He has had the privilege oi graduating and signing diplomas for these persons. Few men have that opportunity and few will ever have it. A total of 9623 students have attended Salem in these 76 years; 4305 have come here and enrolled during Dr. Pitman's administration. This of satisfaction.

have always found that this principal knows what

being thought in the

New England. Another desirable characteristic of the head of an institution is that he should always have in mind the good name of the school. Salem Normal School is to Dr. Pitman the outstanding and complete institution; not selfishly, but honestly, does he believe that this school is the best normal school in Massachusetts. I am always glad to nave a principal feel that way. You have a very loyal and earnest principal. As a third characteristic, a good principal has the highest type of members in his teaching staff. Dr. Pitman takes longer and searches farther than any other principal I know. He is over-cautious, but after it is done he has an enthusiastic faculty. During the years Dr. Pitman has been. here, he has supervised the expenditure of hundreds of thousands of dollars of state money. Never a question as to the matter of judgment, accuracy of records or validity of expenditure! So, as you mark the course of your three-quarter century as an institution, mark the course of a quarter century field

of teacher training beyond the bounds of Massachusetts or even

of excellent leadership."

The first activity of our class as a whole was a return reception to the seniors. We wonder what they thought of our talent. Along in the spring came "scarletina" at one of the boarding houses. Five of the class were told they must leave town at once. Louise, Helene, and Dot will never forget the ride through the Sherbourne woods on that dark, rainy night. The year rolled on and the Trimu Dance was the culminating event. 40

Undoubtedly, the most memorable events of that year were those centering around law classes, such as scrambling for copies of page after page of notes and those daily legal debates which would shame the best of lawyers. The first real party of the Senior year was the Hallowe'en Party at which time we put the freshmen on the reviewing stand. They stood the test well; many gave back as good as they received. Our part of the entertainment was Household Hints which would, no doubt, prove very helpful to any young housekeeper. The Model League Assemblv was held! Evervthing and everybodv gave way to that.

Drat that alarm clock!

I reached out and shut it off and then turned over winks before kicking out for another day of hard work. And what work I am having these days. It seems as though business just suddenly picked up after I graduated from normal school and got this position as "Mail Inspector" at Washington. Incidentally, in connection with my work, it's surprising how much of the mail I handle has such familiar handwriting. One bit of mail was a bulging letter from China from Priscilla Little, addressed to Louise Dudley at the U. S. Bureau of Eduation. Louise is experimenting with the theory she very devoutly professed while at Salem Normal School; namely, the pros and cons of card playing as an aid in doing homework. Slipping her letter into my jacket pocket I turned back to my work. There was a Science magazine before me, including articles on every type of science in the universe, even to one on the Science of Making and Spending a Million Dollars. Partly due to suspicion and partly curiosity, I turned to the title page and there in bold print was the name, Gladys Bates, Editor-in-chief and Business Mana-

That evening, taking Louise's letter I set out to walk to her abode for a visit. I hadn't gone farwhen I heard a creaking noise beside me in the street and the soft tread of feet, as an attractive young woman slowly pushed a cart of periodicals and candy along the way. Something about the familiar figure made me look again and to my astonishment stood face to face with my old friend, Helene Carmel,our own "Pushy" of Normal School days. After chatting with her, I proceeded on my way. Arriving at Louise's, whom should find but Irene Marx, my old school chum, who was on a travel tour in connection with financing a project for a prominent confectionery company of which she was treasurer. She told me she had met Eleanor Smith in a western town, teaching classes in Linotype, six periods a day, six days a week.

She and Charlie had gone letter restaurant, while into a traveling through Russia, and enjoyed a delicious meal of foreign mixture. Just before leaving they were greeted by the owner, Ethel Bacevice. She was owner, manager and supervisor of all cooking. How I enjoyed hearing that. Ethel told of meeting George Cosgrove at a bull fight in sunny Spain. George by the way was the bull fighter and was running true to form in throwing the bull. The letter continued describing a charity ballet given by a famous producer, at an opera house in Lincolnshire, England. Inasmuch as the proceeds were donated to Cilia's and Charlie's establishment they were both present and met the producer after the performance. He is Bill Polishook, and has been very successful as formulator and teacher of a popular ballet dance called the "Shooting for Baskets Fantasy." His most colorful dramatization of this basketball dance is the solo dance performed by Goldie Kantrovitz in which she successfully completes several shots to the basket while doing a toe specialty. He has in his employ another classmate, Barney Weinstein, who is acting in the capacity of Advertising Manager. He sometimes fills in between the acts in a comedy role in which he displays a very distinguished and popular "Cake-Walk."

As a result of my night work for Ray I was free the next dav after 10 A.M., so I went home to rest. The morning paper lay on the table and a certain headline caught my eye. It was an article revealing a bit of private life of a very famous woman editor of a leading publication. It told how Mrs. Dorothy Converse, formerly Dorothy Kimball, though married and the mother of five boys, loved her editing work so much that she went on working at it for little or no pecuniary advantage. That shows what habit does to a person.

I inquired further and learned that, through loyalty and faithful work, Bea had ascended the heights in Scouting circles and was now the "Big Gun". I sighed and put away my work. Only one left now and I couldn't imagine where she might be. When I reached home there were two letters awaiting me. One from China which I immediately knew was from Cilia. More news!

She had gathered many valuable statistics for the book. Dear girl, she always loved figures, and hunting up case studieswas a pet hobbyof hers. In a reverie my mind pictured the other girls, but a heavy haziness hung around me. Suddenly, without a sound of warning and with a flash of light, I stood in a hall which had six colored doors. Each one bore a name. The first door was red, and written in large letters was the name of Georgianna. In my haste to open it I was unprepared to see the sight which greeted my eager eyes. The Sahara desert stretched before me, and on the outskirts was a rough building, rudely put together. In the center of the room was Georgie, wearing dark spectacles. Around her clustered twelve little "Black Sambos" trying laboriously to make an Easter bunny. been the

existence. This also

taken for the past three years continues to be successful.

The Geography Club is the only organization in the school that does not elect charge dues. The main purpose of the club is to come to a realization of the benefits one can obtain through knowledge of the different nationalities. The parties held at the apartments of Miss Flanders and Miss Ware help to cement the bond of

officers or

friendship of the club members.

Among

the activities, the lecture on South America by Professor C. F. Jones of

Clark University proved to be very enlightening. This lecture was heard through the

Women's Club. The visit to Daly's Golden Rule Shoe Factory in Lynn was an outstanding trip. During the year, two representatives of the Geography Club were sent on Friendcourtesy of the Salem

international delations Clnb Last year the Salem Normal School sent delegates to the Model Assemblv of the League of Nations held at Yale University. So enthused were these delegates, that when they returned, they called a meeting of students interested in foreign affairs. This meeting resulted in the present International Relations Club of the Salem Normal School. The club was recognized by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace; and now, through that endowment fund, the club benefits bv supplies of books and pamphlets and the opportunity of hearing speakers. Under the supervision of Mrs. Lewis J. Johnson, the club presented a verbatim model assemblv of the League of Nations on November 5- Truly, it was a fine undertaking for the infant organization. Two weeks later the school was summoned to the assembly hall to hear a noted international lecturer, M. Lanux, on Disarmament. Nor is that all. Every other week the club "broadcasts" during the morning chapel the international news of interest; the club has participated in the Third National Essav Contest on the League of Nations, for Teachers Colleges and Normal Schools; and once again the club has sent delegates to the yearly Intercollegiate Model Assemblv of the League of Nations, this year at Wellesley College. 87

February sixth, the Glee Club presented Pandora, an operetta with an un-

which goes

like this:

Mr. and Mrs. Mavfield are giving a week-end party for their daughter Peggv at the Ocean Beach Club, where Jane Fisher is hostess; Winnie Woodland, Don Sterling and Bill Manning are among the guests. Mr. Mayfield suggests that the entire party board his yacht for a trip to the island of Pandora of which he is a prospective owner. McGinnis and Gassaway, two strange rascals, plan to get possession of Pandora, government property to which no claim has been filed, before Mr. Mayfield; they, too, set sail for the island.

As soon as the wheels began to turn, starting the 1930-1931 school year, there came the first call for sports in the form of fieldball. The response was admirable, most of whom had never before played the game. After good team work and judgment in placing the ball, and were ready to face the more experienced players. Several interesting games were then played, and one freshman team proved to the upperclassmen that experience is not the only necessity in winning a game. As a wind-up, two all-star teams were chosen, The Live Wires and The Mudhoppers, which met on a muddy field one rainy, Saturday morning. But the weather only heightened the spirits of the players who enjoyed that game more than any other of the season. The score ended in a victory for the Mudhoppers.

The Year 'Book

1931

iHen

a. a.

The men of Salem Normal School banded together in October 1930 and elected Leonard Nolan, popular Junior High Senior, to be their leader. The other officers of the association elected were William Weinstein, vice-president; Jack Donovan, treasurer;

Nathan Goodman,

secretary; and

Mr.

Phillips, financial adviser.

The mem-

bership was smaller than the previous year, but once again they sponsored a basketball team.

The manager

of the team, Charles Kaner,

was limited

to a schedule of twelve

games, playing only high schools from which the Normal School draws

its

member-

ship and schools of the same rating as our school. Through Mr. Kaner's efforts, trips

were also included to Maine and to our old rival, Bridgewater Normal School. The usual socials of the association were limited this year. However, the leaders of the club labored hard for the interests of the association and a fine reception was tendered to the Bridgewater Normal School and Gorham Normal School teams. The latter team established a precedent for the M.A.A. when it was arranged that they should board and room in a nearby boarding-house. The plan proved to be very successful and the undergraduates hope that it may be continued in future years.
