Many Attend First
Dance of Year
McDowell’s Works Illustrated by Chalk Drawings
Professor Charles Eredcrck Whitney and son, Pemberton, entertained the student body in assembly on October 24, with a concert, interpreted by chalk drawings, of some of McDowell’s pieces.
Professor Whitney, well known for his chalk drawings and his art ability, has taught in both Salem and Framingham Teachers Colleges and now conducts art classes in the Wheelock School.
Pemberton Whitney, one of the leading pianists of Boston and vicinity, has studied at the New England Conservatory of Music and abroad.
Selections played by Mr. Pemberton Whitney and sketched in chalk by Mr. Charles Whitney were
“To a Waterlily”
“To a Deserted Farm”
“In Deep Woods”
“From an Indian Lodge”
“To the Sea”.
From this illustrated concert the students have gained a better understanding of some of McDowell's famous compositions and a finer appreciation of art.
- - Till college 13 indebted io die Musical Clubs and Fine Arts Club for giving us the opportunity to enjoy so fine a presentation of music and art.
Senior Class To See
Easter Play
The senior class, in connection with their English course, is planning to see a play at Easter time. Each member of the class is depositing with Ethel Adams, treasurer, the sum of $.15 a month, which will make the total enough to purchase the ticket at Easter time.
The class will see a play which can be reviewed for book report requirements. The play, “The Green Pastures”, now playing at the Colonial Theatre, can be used as a subject for a report. If you have a chance to attend, do not miss it.
Tea Given
for Commuters
Mrs. Bagnall and Dean Savage Entertain
On Monday afternoon, October 10, Mrs. Francis A. Bagnall, Dean Savage, and Mary Leonard, president of the Commuters’ Association, entertained the commuters at tea in Horace Mann living room. Many girls attended and were most cordially welcomed.
Several bright bouquets served as decorations to emphasize the homelike coziness of Horace Mann. The refreshments consisted of orange sherbet, wafers, and mints. During the reception Hildegarde James '33, played favorite piano selections.
Annette Kay '32, general chairman, was assisted by a committee of commuting girls. During the afternoon the guests enjoyed dancing on the terrace.

Mr. Sidney Woodward Lectures on Etchings
Fine Arts Club Presents Interesting Speaker
Mr. Sidney Woodward, brother of Stanley Woodward the artist, and a resident of Framingham Centre, spoke Wednesday, October 19, before a group of Fine Arts Club members and their guests on the subject of “Etching.”
Mr. Woodward gave a brief history of etching, mentioning those persons who have made a name for themselves in that art. He also presented an excellent description of the process of etching which he made even more clear by showing the plates before and after etching. Many beautiful prints, practically all originals, which Mr. Woodward used to illustrate the various types of etching, made the lecture exceedingly interesting.

On Monday, October 17, at the weekly assembly, the student body had the privilege of hearing Mr. Percy Thayer from the Thryu MvNCl Co. of Boston, who gave an illustrated lecture on “Correct Shoes and Posture”. He emphasized the fact that “by our feet, we shall be known.” Stating that over 90 per cent of the people in the United States have foot trouble due to improper shoes, he stressed the importance of foot health in relation to posture and general physical well-being. He demonstrated several corrective exercises.
Reels contrasting the effects of good and poor shoes and good and poor posture were shown. An excellent picture of winter sports in Canada was an added inducement to the cultivation of better health.

Drama Class Visits
Mrs. Fuller’s Studio
Mrs. Solomon Fuller, sculptress, of Warren Road, Framingham, spent an hour Thursday, October 20, in a demonstration and helpful talk to members of Miss Kingman’s, English 6, drama class who visited her studio.
When the girls arrived Mrs. Fuller showed them around her very attractive studio which is decorated with plaques, portraits, and etchings, many of which are her own work. Her sculpture and that of her pupils is carried out in a large, light room where many statues, tablets, and heads are in the process of construction.
“Sculpture”, said Mrs. Fuller, “is constructive rather than destructive. The ancient sculptor made his model and copied it in stone. ” In showing the class the principles of modern sculpture she said that the model is made of clay over a framework of wire tubing, adjusted according to correct proportions and in the desired pose. A casing of plaster is put over the front and back to get the cast, then removed and filled with fresh plaster; the original plaster is chipped off and a smooth finish applied to the statue.
Mrs. Fuller stressed the fact that, "All sculpture should be placed so the light shines on it to make it effective." Some interesting models which she had made of clay were placed in the sunlight where, after a while, they acquired a glossy bronze effect unlike the original gray-green clay.
A demonstration of the molding of a marionette head was especially interesting

Student Government Association Sponsors Informal in Peirce and May Halls
Last Saturday evening the first informal dance of the year, sponsored by the Student Government Association, was held in Peirce and May Halls. Many of the freshmen, as well as upperclassmen, attended.
President and Mrs. Francis A. Bagnall, Miss Keith, Mary Partridge, president of the Student Government Association, and her escort, George Seaquist, were the receiving line in Peirce Hall.
Dean Savage, Miss Larned, Doctor Foster, Gwendolyn Swanson, president of the sophomore class and her escort, Edward King, were in the receiving line in May Hall.
Decorations of pumpkins, cornstalks and witches gave the halls a very weird appearance. During intermission ice cream and cookies were served. Norman Hill and his orchestra from Framingham played for the dancing which lasted until 12.
Mary Partridge, president of the Student Government Association, was general chairman for the dance. She was assisted by At,nene I rierc< '34, business manager; Geraldine Winchenbaugh ’33, Gwendolyn Swanson ’35, Theodatha Hoitt '35, decorations; Ruth Parker ’33, Marie Blaikie ’33, refreshments; Marion Crittendon ’33, Josephine Czelusniak ’34, patrons and patronesses; Priscilla Cairns '34, dance programs; Faith Sincerbeau ’33, Dorothy Seisig ’35, ushers; Dorothy Gilman ’33, Hazel Ramsay ’33, music; and Mildred Sullivan ’34.
Fine Arts Club
Begins Work
Literary, Drama, and Art Groups Formed
At the Fine Arts Club meeting on Monday, October 17, the club was divided into three sections: the literary, drama, and art groups.
The literary section will hold special monthly meetings, at each of which one author will be discussed and selections from his works read. At the close of the meeting the girls will serve tea. Beulah Schafer ’33, Helen Ridderstrom '32, and Helen Russo ’33 are in charge of this section.
The drama group, under the direction of Harriet Werner ’35, will meet every month to learn the technique of producing a play successfully. Costuming, acting, staging, and lighting will be among the subjects discussed.
Anne Jenkins ’34, is in charge of the art group which will meet in the studio in May Hall. The girls in that section will study painting and sketching.
At the September meeting, an unusually large number of girls were present. Elizabeth Pipe ’33, president of the club, is looking forward to an interesting and successful year.
“The day becomes more solemn and serene, Where noon is passed;
There is a harmony in autumn, and a lustre in its sky,
Which through the summer is not heard or seen.”	‘

OCTOBER 31, 1932
Mrs. Bagnall and Miss Savage Worked out a little plan, And they greeted all commuters At a tea in Horace Mann.
It was on October tenth
From three to five o'clock That each one of us got ready And smoothed her wrinkled frock.
The mirrors all worked overtime— I suppose it was a bore— But all the girls looked charming As they entered H. M. door.
Each of us found an usher— Or an usher found each one— And the usher held us firmly Till our duty had been done.
But our hostesses were charming And they put us right at ease; They made duty seem a pleasure So this opportunity I’ll seize
To thank them for their kindness In taking so much trouble.
We all enjoyed a pleasant time. May all your joys be double.
—The Rhyming Reporter.
PERSONAL RESPONSIB1LITY
After starting out courageously for a finer year than ever at F. T. C., we find ourselves again confronted with the problem of thievery in the dormitories. It seems that the age-old difficulty is ever present. Various remedies have been tried; the Student Government Association and faculty have both worked for its abolishment. But we find it is still with us. What is a solution?
It’s hard for the majority of us to realize that any student who was ambitious and intelligent enough to proceed thus far in her education would .stoop to anything so base as dishonestly appropriating another’s property. Yet we know that there are just such people still undiscovered.
The persons who are guilty probably do not put themselves in the places of the victims or they would realize that those girls are just as much in need of clothing, money, and jewelry as the thieves think themselves to be.
We are under the impression that many of the articles are taken on the “spur of the moment,” and that afterwards the acts are regretted. If this is the case, we advise those girls to think twice before stealing.
It seems to be up to each and every one of us to be personally responsible for our own honesty. We all know that that is the first requisite for fulfilling any kind of position. You who are guilty may think it will be forgotten by the time you graduate, but remember that someone knows and that it will go down against you forever, although it may not be written on your conscience.
For guilty persons the student body unites in advocating permanent expulsion.

QUIET
After the talk in chapel on October 20, by the chairman of the Quiet and Order Committee, it should be evident to every student that we are not measuring up to what is expected of us in the way of respect and quietness. Although the freshmen may not have understood previously that the assembly hall is quiet from 8:55 until 9:15 in the morning, they must realize now that that period of quietness is a tradition which must be kept. Why, you ask? Chapel is our daily religious and inspirational service, not a social gathering. Again, we must accord due respect to President Bagnall and the faculty. Finally, the intelligent person treats her fellow students with a certain amount of consideration.
We emphasize also the fact that the “quiet” signs are posted, neither for their printing merits, nor as a decoration, but for the meaning which the word conveys.
Let’s all cooperate with the chairman of the Quiet and Order Committee and make this an exceptionally successful year.

The Moonlight Sonata
Beethoven walked at twilight through the town,
A friend beside him, pleasantly aware
Of strains of music stealing through the air, A melody of sweet and haunting sound.
The friends pursued the music, and they found
An. humble home. 3 blin.d girl., young gjjd fair
Who loved Beethoven, loved his wondrous airs
With lilting harmony in music bound.
He stole across the dimly shadowed room. The great composer’s soul was deeply stirred, He touched the keys, the moonlight gleamed. The master was inspired; the heavenly tune Entranced and thrilled the raptured friends who heard,
And gave the world the noble theme he dreamed.
—Grace Caron ’34.
Cry in the Might
Oft in the still, clear silences of night
The keen, high whistle of a mighty train
Stabs deep within the weary images of the mind
Like the phantom cry of a lost and wandering soul—
There's something dire and mournful in the cry
Of a night train.
There are dreams of dawn, and thoughts of distant unknown shores,
And a dreary longing for the cold, forbidden moon.
The high, star-studded, clear repose of night
Grows poignant with the vast and toneless cry
Of might. A night train passes.
Marion Bishop '34.
We Lunch at TRAVIS DRUG STORE
We have Provincetown, because of the peculiar situation of the land. It is on the most southern end of Massachusetts. Northeast storms breaking against the outer shore, that is, the ocean side of the Cape, all the way from Chatham to Tturo, piled up sand on the tip, forming, first sand bars, then sand hills, which becomes our land. This land partially incloses Cape Cod Bay on the inner curve; Massachusetts Bay and the Atlantic ocean are on the outer curve. Because of the abundance of codfish in Provincetown harbor, Bartholomew Gosnold in 1602 named the cape Cape Cod. George Lyman Kittridge in his book on Cape Cod said, “Landlords of the sixteenth century fisherman taverns anywhere along the coast of Brittany as far as the Bay of Biscay had heard all about Provincetown from the picturesque villians who dropped in to drink brandy and sour wine of an evening, between one fishing season and the next. They told tales of lurid sojourns ashore, where a sicklcd-shaped arm of sand made a harbor, in which they could ride out storms from any quarter and where they could fill their holds with fish without going a mile from shore”.
The town was not settled by these seafaring Brittany men, but by early settlers of Plymouth and the Upper Cape. They came to fish, first for a few months each year, then they brought their families and settled on Long Point. These men did not have to go out of sight of land for fish. There are records showing that about 1670 the Plymouth Colony farmed the Provincetown fisheries to pay for a free school at Plymouth. Later the General court decided to divide the revenue among the more important towns. Provincetown did not profit by this, but when she became a real ptown the records show that the sum of twenty-two pounds, ten shillings, was to pay a teacher for one-half year.
The town had many problems to trouble it. The Gallic buccaneers continued to make free at Provincetown, even after 1700, when the first “staid Britishers” had built their homes there. Smugglers, “Portege” whaleman, French' privateer and colonial fisherman, who camped for the summer there, all plied their trades with as much freedom as if Provincetown had been a remote island of the Spanish Main. These coasting boats annoyed the settlers with their high-handed manners. There were many complaints made to the General Court for the injuries suffered. The General Court was comprised of the Plymouth governor and his assistants. Their duty was to make laws. The General Court appointed Truro, a neighboring well-settled village, to look after the lawlessness in Provincetown. Truro assessed all visiting fishermen of whatever nationality four shillings a week during their stay. Truro rebelled against this added nuisance and petitioned the General Court to incorporate the town. The town was incorporated in 1727.
Another hindrance to the development of the town was its isolation. The fine harbor exposed the land to the enemy in time of war. The town was helpless in a blockade. England realized the strategic value of Provincetown Harbor as a base for naval operations. During the Colonial wars, then at the time of the Revolution, and during the War of 1812, the town was blockaded many times. The British Somerset blockaded the harbor in the Revolutionary War. There arc many stories of the petty quarrels with the Britishman and many stories of the friendly relationships of some of the men with the town’s people. When the Somerset was wrecked off the outer bar near Dead Man’s Hollow, on the back shore of Provincetown in 1778, the crew were taken prisoners by the town’s people and the guns were used to fortify the harbor.
After these wars and the government was established, Provincetown, because of the excellence of the fishing and whaling industries, became one of the richest towns, according to wealth per person, in the commonwealth.
The town is now known and.noted for
How to 'Jake Class and Lecture Notes Successfully
Successful taking of notes depends upon two major propositions, one of which is set up and fulfilled previously to the time the note taking begins, the other during and after the class period begins.
1.	(a) Materials to be used. These include first, a good notebook—good in the sense that the pages arc of uniform size and secured, that the book will lie flat o|>cn, and that the covers are firm. The quality of paper will be determined by the use of pencil or pen.
(b)	If a pencil is to be used, medium soft lead is best (hard lead is never good), and two pencils should be pointed before the exercise begins. If an “Eversharp” is to be used, the length of the lead should be checked before the class begins. If a fountain pen, it should be filled before the class begins.
(c)	Some kind of “short hand" should be originated if one does not happen to know a standard code. A good method consists of omitting all unimportant qualifying parts of speech, and even verbs may be omitted when the expressed action is obvious. Legibility of whatever is written is of course an absolute necessity. This characteristic depends mainly upon free arm movement • supplemented by or made possible by correct general bodily posture.
2.	The scene now shifts to the class or lecture room, (a) Prepared as indicated above and in one’s seal before the period is due to begin, the student should of his own accord "come to attention” the moment the instructor arrives at his desk. (At Framingham this is a somewhat rare situation. Too often the instructor is obliged, in some manner, to “call the class to attention.”) Books, sundry school supplies and personal effects should be out of the way, note book open, pencil or pen ready.
(b)	From this point on through the period the student must keep himself mentally alert (in other words, stay awake I), concentrate attention on the lecture or discussion, think as well as listen, and at the same time take down the so-called “notes.” (It is surprising to observe how many “naps" arc taken in class, how many “air castles built in Spain” or for “next Saturday night,” how much mind wandering is allowed, how much attention given to irrelevant things.)
(c)	If the nature of the lecture or discussion is such that the student wishes to “take” all or practically all of it, the “short hand” described, after a little practice, will prove efficient enough for a complete transcript of all essential subject matter and illustrations given. At the first subsequent study hour for the given course the notes should be elaborated into permanent form. This process aids materially in fixing the subject matter in mind while-making it into good form for future reference.
In case the nature of the discussion or lecture is such that only a resume is desired, then one’s thinking must become more analytic and an ability developed for recognizing leading statements on the one hand, and, on the other, for digesting paragraphs into sentences. In this case it is entirely possible to make the notes in permanent form as the hour progresses, thus saving time for a wider range of reading during the subsequent study hour. Still, the use of the “short hand” in this case allows opportunity for more concentrated attention and keener analysis during the class hour.
The foregoing narration is in no way theoretical and imaginary. This method or system of note taking has been used repeatedly. It has contributed very materially in the successful comprehension 'and passing of college and university courses, and incidentally, has provided source material (some of which is not in print elsewhere) for later reference and quotation.

MAQUA-ON-THE-CAMPUS
Maqua-on-the-Campus, the outgrowth of the Y.W.C.A. cabinet meeting at Wellesley, was held October 7 and 8, opening Friday night with registration in Horace Mann living room. The purpose of the week-end was
To see that there arc girls on the campus who'are trying to find a more creative way of living.
To formulate and crystallize spiritual interest.
To get a start on frankly facing the question.
To arouse a real purpose—a desire to discuss.
The first meeting was very informal, everyone enjoying the clever Maqua skit and the singing. The poems which Ann Silver of the Metropolitan Student Headquarters so charmingly read were made even more fascinatingly delightful by their color associations and her own fascinating colorpoetry anthology.
Macintosh reds and a social half-hour with Tirza Ann Dinsdale's description of the Lord of “The Green Pastures” made the evening all too short.
Saturday the association was very fortunate in having an opportunity to hear Mr. Dwight Bradley from Newton who began the day by leading an impressive worship service in the Chalmers Outdoor Theatre. A fine talk on the values most vital in the life of an underclassman, leading the trend of thought around the seven pegs in the garden of character, was most inspirational. These pegs were
1.	Try to act intelligently.
2.	Try to do the thing that is important.
3.	Try to do, think, and be a vital personality.
4.	Try to be just and fair.
5.	Try to do and be that which is beautiful.
6.	Try to be honest and dependable.
7.	Try to follow the principle of good will.
To be rich in personality and character one must link these pegs together and follow them just as one marks off his garden plot with pegs and carefully follows the boundary line.
Valuable discussions led by Miss Dinsdale and Miss Hunt associated these points with the needs of Framingham students. The outcomes of these discussions will be developed during the year.
A hike to Simpson’s Woods, where roasted wienies, doughnuts, and cider provided very satisfactory nourishment for the invigorated appetites of the girls, was fun for all.
It was truly a worthwhile week-end.
The Y. W. C. A. announces the following interest groups, all of which you asked to have.
1.	“Important to Me,” based on Margaret Slattery's book, is to be offered under splendid leadership of Miss Hunt, with Betty Boynton as chairman.
2.	“Inter-Racial Contributions to Culture” will be effectively presented by Miss Larned who will lead the literary discussions from the French standpoint. We have other interesting people in view for the music and art phases of the subject. Geraldine Winchenbaugh is chairman of this group.
3.	“A Study of Jesus” given to us by Ann Silver, with Marjorie Evans as chairman.
4.	“A Magic Ring” or “Poetry Circle” with Virginia Rhoades in charge.

ALUMNAE
WHEN F.T.C. BECOMES B.F.C.
October 14? No reaction? But to us who arc “out” it had a very special significance—the first meeting of the B.F.C.; that is, of the Boston-Framingham Club. You know, I am glad you have this Gate Post and that I can tell you about the Club. When I was at F.N.S.—excuse me, F.T.C.—not so long ago, really, the BostonFramingham Club was something mentioned about once a year; something that seemed in some way connected with the alumnae—all extremely indefinite, you sec. I joined because there was a “Framingham” in its name I I hope I’ll give you a better reason. However, on the evening of October 14th at the Women’s Republican Club on Beacon Street, Boston (just as impressive as it sounds), we assembled fifty strong. Our class numbers ranged from 1881 to 1933 I
Who were there? Remember Pauline Farrell and Helen Eaton, ’30; Christine Sheehan, Catherine Galien, Dorothea Myers, and Blanche Wetmore, '31; and Mary O'Brien ’32?....and Margaret Dyer and Margaret Magee, ’33 (yes, indeed) selling the Gate Posts that were just as popular as the refreshments. Our celebrities were Mrs. Whittemore, Miss Roof (first vicepresident of the B.F.C.), Miss Grace Bartlett (president of the Alumnae Association), Mr. F. W. Archibald (where have I heard that name before?), our enthusiastic expresident Miss Cora Morse), and, of course, our delightful president, R. H. C.
What did we do? Observe our program. Everybody singing F.R.A.M.—violin, piano, and voice solos by talented members—a sales talk on the Gate Post—songs (only three, and somehow not enough) by Mr. Archibald—Miss Carter reading “When I Go Up to London”—the Biennial movies (come and smile with your friends)—and refreshments.
Truly, a pleasant evening was had by all I Marie Early, Cor. Sec., B.F.C.
ALUMNAE COUNCIL MEETING
The thirty-sixth meeting of the Alumnae Council was held at May Hall on October 22. At the opening session at 11:00 Cora Morse '08 gave a report of the memorial plates. 498 plates have already been sold and another order for 25 dozen is ready to be sent in. The next order will go in some time in December. Iona Springer, who represented the Springfield club, announced the next meeting which will be in the form of a progressive dinner. The Boston and New York Framingham clubs sent representatives who gave brief accounts of their clubs’ activities. Although there was no representative from the California club, Miss Anna Moore ’93 sent a letter to the council meeting. Louise Kingman T7 told briefly of the aims of The Gate Post and of the necessity for the cooperation of all in order to make it a success.
The afternoon session began at 1:30 with a talk by Miss Newton about the collection of bits of graduation gowns for the loose-leaf history. Mrs. White announced that she would present the Framingham Historical Society with one of the Framingham plates, and suggested that other classes and clubs present the historical societies in their localities with plates also.
Of interest to all was the fact that in May 1920 Miss Maverette Eddy ’64 came to a council meeting and while walking about the campus picked up an acorn which she carried home. The acorn was planted and grew to be a large oak, now standing near her home at 301 South Huntington Street, Boston. Miss Eddy sent some leaves and a snapshot of the tree to the meeting.
Committees were appointed to make plans for the One Hundredth Anniversary which will be celebrated in 1939.
We regret to learn of the serious illness of Frances Gaffney McGlone ’20, and wish her a speedy recovery.
The first regular meeting of the Secretaries Club of Framingham Teachers College was held on October 22 for the purposes of organization and election of officers. Miss Rita Hail '07 was elected president and Mrs. Howard P. King T4, secretary and treasurer.
Dorothy B. Young ’31, now Mrs. Robert L. Hayden, Jr., is living in Augusta, Maine.

When I Was a Girl at Framingham
Well do I remember my first visit to Framingham, way back in the spring of 1904 when I was still a senior in high school. Armed with an introduction to a senior in the Household Arts department in the Normal School, and reinforced by a classmate, who went to visit her cousin, a senior in the Elementary department, I sallied forth to sec if I should like to take the Household Arts course myself. Of course we went all the way from Medford by trolley. A ride on one of the new open trolleys on the Boston and Worcester was a real event, and—would you believe it I— the trip was more comfortable in those days than it is now.
Both my friend’s cousin and the girl I wished to meet lived in Normal Hall, which, you will remember from Miss Gcr-ritson’s reminiscences last month, stood where Horace Mann now stands. Normal Hall was just a big, friendly, three-story house with a veranda across the whole front, shaded by a row of magnificent elms. What a pity these wonderful trees had to come down when Horace Mann was built 1 We found the whole length of the veranda filled with girls,—two or three in every chair. A few well-directed yells brought the girls we sought; we were introduced to everybody and visited awhile on the porch. Pretty soon a girl came out of the hall in a white uniform and cap, and somebody said, “Oh, Fran, do you teach a class today?” and “Fran” said she did. I looked at her as an absolutely superior being, a thing apart, and felt it was utterly impossible that in two short years I should be wearing a cap like that and be able actually to teach a class! (The course was only a two-year course in my day.) We saw her later in her classroom, and she looked even more unattainable. In those days the children from the training school, which was all the first floor of May Hall, came to Room 23 for their cooking lesson. Screens were put across the middle of 23: one class met at one end of the room and a second class met at the other end. The trick was to arouse sufficient interest on your side of the screen to keep the children from peeking around at the other class.
Of course we visited the girls’ rooms in Normal Hall, and then I felt sure I wanted to be a Framingham girl myself. In 1904 there was no admission by certification. Everybody took the examinations. So I took all but the American history examination in June and studied American history all summer to be sure to pass in September. The seniors told us that even if we got by all the examinations we might not pass the physical examination; so we worried about that until it, too, was over. How well I remember their telling us then, “Oh, yes, you are in now, but take our word for it, it’s much easier to get in than it is to get out!”
Fitting up our room was the first important event. The rooms were all double rooms but so long as you had a photograph net or rack well filled with highschool classmates’ photographs and a few college banners (mens’ colleges preferred), the rest didn’t matter. If your roommate brought a red couch cover and you had a green one and your pillows were largely orange, it was all right. A few musical instruments gave a real air, too I 1 remember carrying a guitar in one hand and a suitcase in the other from Brighton to Framingham, by trolley, with three changes. Neither my roommate nor I could play the guitar, but the “class" it gave the room was the envy of the whole house.
.Our class was the largest the Household Arts department had ever had. We numbered eighteen, and our instructors felt swamped. As first-year girls, or juniors, we each assisted a senior with her cooking class, and then when we were seniors we had a class and an assistant of our own. The most I remember about teaching is that we wore a nurse’s cap perched on top of a high pug, and all the children wore organdie bonnets which we had to make for them. Keeping our caps at the proper angle was a very real worry; imagine walking from Normal Hall in a March wind before the days of the subway! Of course we always had our pictures taken with the class.
FACULTY
Mrs. Nichols, whom we remember as taking Miss Sparrow's place last year, received her Master of Arts degree from Radcliff College in June. This year she has accepted the position as assistant in the department of education at Wellesley College.

Miss Savage, with deans of others colleges in the Boston district, recently attended a luncheon and board meeting of the i Y. W. C. A. at the Metropolitan Student I Headquarters. This meeting gave the deans an opportunity to meet the National Secretary of the Y. W. C. A. and discuss with her the position of that association in their colleges.

The Middlesex County Teachers convention was held October 28. The Home Economics division had for a topic, “Revaluation of Home Economics”, which was discussed on three levels: colleges, high schools, and junior high. Miss Coss spoke for the colleges.

The faculty is working on a course in historic and contemporary fabrics to be । oficrcd, as an elective, to the seniors. Slides, lectures, and trips to museums will be used to make the course both interesting and informative.
I seem to remember more about the extra-curricular activities. We gave a most successful minstrel show, the success being largely due to one end man, who sent the audience off into gales of laughter every time she appeared. She thought it was her clever wit that brought down the house until someone told her she had forgotten to black her eyelids. Another pastime, when life grew very dull on a Friday night, was to have a faculty meeting. We spent half the evening assembling suitable costumes. I remember I was always Mr. Whittemore. The meeting was nothing more nor less than putting a girl’s name up and calling for remarks about her from each of the assembled faculty. The costumes and remarks were usually so funny that we were in gales of laughter all the evening. It was a great disappointment to me, when I stayed on as an assistant in chemistry and went to my first real faculty meeting, to find what a different affair it really was!
Like all girls of our age we had a spell of trying practical jokes, and it was quite the most successful event of the season when an alarm clock went off in a girl's suitcase on the Boston and Worcester trolley. I remember practical jokes grew so popular just before Christmas one year that my roommate and I were called to the principal's office and instructed to use our efforts to see that practical joking ceased. But one of the best jokes of all was on my roommate herself just after this vacation, when she discovered a mouse’s nest in the tarn she had worn the evening before without looking in it!
And so you see that life when I first came to Framingham was not so very different from what it is today. You probably wonder how we managed to have a happy time without movies, radios, automobiles, or telephones. So, too, may the Framingham girls of 1960 wonder how you ever existed in 1932 without airplanes, private baths, a swimming pool, television or individual robots to get the lessons.

Sophomores Elect
• Representatives
The sophomore class met on Tuesday, October 4, to elect Student Government representatives for the coming year. Theo-datha Hoitt is the dormitory representative and Hazel Walker, the village representative.
At this same meeting the presidents announced that a card conveying the sympathy of the members of the class of 1935 had been sent to the parents of the late Mary Schwartz.
‘“If I have a dollar and you have a dollar and we exchange, we are no better off than before. But if I have an idea and you have an idea and we exchange—you have two ideas and I have two ideas. So what you ;ave, I received and what I gave, I did not lose.” That is the value of conferences.
Cohme/tes
At a meeting of the Commuters’ Organization, Monday, October 17, Eleanor Daigle, Emma Murphy, and Margaret Irwin were elected as guest members of the Student Government Association Council. These girls, with the president, Marion Leonard, will attend the meetings of the council as guests until the matter of commuter representation on the council has been decided.

(Continued from page 3, column 1) which make up the Metropolitan Board. Once a month this council meets to discuss the problems found on the college campus. The past meeting was held to plan for the Cedar Hill conference.
THE CEDAR HILL CONFERENCE
The joint Young Women’s and Young Men's Christian Association Conference held October 15 and 16 at Cedar Hill was attended by two Framingham delegates, Betty Beckwith and Louise Bullard. Other delegates present were from Harvard, Vassar, Tufts, Wellesley, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Simmons, Boston University (College of Practical Arts and Letters, College of Liberal Arts, and Sargent School), New Hampshire State College, and Radcliffe. International interest was provided by foreign students from Armenia, Bulgaria, Denmark, England, Germany, Spain, and Sweden.
Kirby Page, who is an editor of “The World Tomorrow,” a lecturer, and an ordained minister, led the discussion which was based on “Christian Leadership on the College Campus.”
An interesting hour was spent with Muriel Lester, a fascinating English woman who gave her audience a glimpse of Kingsley Hall, a home in London where many communists live under her inspirational guidance. Miss Lester had the honor of entertaining Mahatma Ghandi during his visit to England. The delegates were privileged to read a letter written to Miss Lester by Ghandi before his fast.
The meetings were held in the Rookery in a cozy atmosphere by the fireplace. After the meeting a very delightful negress, Mildred Jenkins, sang and taught several negro spirituals.
Meal time afforded an ideal opportunity for making new friends. Ping-pong, the maze, and moonlight strolls “topped off the week-end.”
Y. W. C. A.-I. M. U. R. MEETING
On Wednesday, October 5, the Y. W. C. A. sponsored an I. M. U. R. (I am, you are) meeting in Horace Mann living room, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. After the president’s welcome to the old and new members an acquaintance game and real old-fashioned singing, led by Gertrude Cleary, provided much pleasure. Louise Bullard gave an interesting account of the first Council of Christian Associations meeting which she and Betty Beckwith, the Framingham C. C. A. representatives, attended at the Metropolitan Students’ Room in the Boston Y. W. C. A. The meeting was effectively closed by the singing of “Follow-thc-Gleam".

DRAMA CLASS VISITS
MRS. FULLER’S STUDIO
(Continued from page 1, column 4) to the class in that they are at present making marionettes for use in a play to be given later in the year. Mrs. Fuller’s method of working involved rolling the clay into an egg shape and with the thumbs pressing the position for the eyes, then adding a piece for the nose and others for the lips. She advised the making of a stock head, getting the cast and varying the facial expression by painting. “One of the greatest difficulties in face modeling,” said Mrs. Fuller, “is to get both sides the same."
Mrs. Fuller showed the girls several marionettes which her son had made. They were particularly unique in that their heads were of carved wood, and that their bodies were completely jointed even at the ankle bones. The sculptress and her son have collaborated on several plays for marionette productions and are at present working on “The Lost Spectacles,” a humorous treatment of royal life.
Some of Mrs. Fuller's works which are especially interesting are a memorial tablet at St. Andrew’s church in Framingham, a conception of “The Dance Macabrd,” and a memorial tablet for those buried in France on which she is working at present.
The girls in the drama class wish to express to Mrs. Fuller their appreciation of her valuable help and of her kindness in receiving them at her studio.

A CHEMICAL CRITICISM
The Doctor sat in dumb amaze
And gazed in pained surprise
Upon the ponderous manuscript
Which he must criticize.
The thesis was an effort of
A chemist who would be
A Doctor of that gracious thing
We call Philosophy.
The subject was of simple sort
And yet the exposition
Was carried far beyond its worth,
Alas I in true tradition.
The critic grasped his pen and wrote:
“Dear Sir—Please be advised
This should be much reduced... .or else
Completely oxidized.”

X. P. K. HOUSE
Now that we freshmen have chosen our clubs, we should like to make use of our one and only club house, X. P. K., which stands so forlornly between May and Crocker Halls. We hear that it holds a wealth of possibilities for club meetings, discussion groups, waffle breakfasts, demonstrations, and club parties. •
The problem confronting us at the present is one of renovation. The only way we can meet this situation is through the cooperation of clubs and their members, and with financial aid.
We freshmen are known to do “little things in big ways”.	.
Why not give us the opportunity?

RESERVED BOOKS
It seems to be about time that someone protested, and protested very forcibly about the misuse of the reserved books in the library. What is this place coming to?
One can never procure a reserved book when one needs it, because someone has removed it from the sight of the general world. Reserved books are for the use of the entire school, and not for the exclusive use of any persons who labor under the hallucination that they arc for their use and their use only.
In olden times, books were chained to the shelf or stands. That might be a good idea to try out here, but even then someone would very likely do a Houdini act and remove the books from the chains. In a school of this size, and in a school where everyone is supposed to have at least a medium sized amount of gray matter, and to have some consideration for others, it does not seem necessary to resort to primary methods. However, if the girls will persist in disregarding the library rules, which, incidentally, are typewritten and easily read, something drastic will need to be done, and that will mean that the whole school will suffer because some few chose to misuse the few rule' which they are asked to observe.
Why can't we work for the good of the school, and use the reserved books as they should be used? It doesn’t take any more time to do things the right way than it does to do them the wrong way. If we do things right in the first place, much dissatisfaction can be avoided and much time can be saved.

A.P.W.
The Overnight Hike, which was held the night of October 11, was a great success.
Though the night was bitter cold The hikers, so I'm told, Were fazed not by the weather For they all bunked together.
The question came “Who’ll tend the fire?” The seniors said, “We must retire.” And so to bed, and so to sleep, While underclassmen the fire did keep. Daybreak came, so came the dawn Those sleeping rose with stretch and yawn.
(With no sarcasm, nor thought to vex— We like our hikes minus cream and
Kleenex.)
