MISS DOROTHY WEEKS

Miss Weeks Is
Recovering

Will Probably Return in Fall

Miss Weeks, who has been absent from
her work as teacher of Freshman Foods
because of illness, is regaining her health
day by day. Complete rest is necessary
for her full recovery but we hope to have
her back with us in the Fall. We are sure
that every member of this school extends
her heartiest wish for Miss Week's early
recovery.





Greetings to all present students and to
all graduates of the State Normal School
at Framingham.

The Alumna: Association extends con-
gratulations and gratitude to those who
have made possible this paper. We wel-
come it not only as a means of coming in
closer contact with the activities of the
school, but also as an opportunity of be-
coming better acquainted with one an-
other. .

Success to the new enterprise!

GRACE E. BARTLETT,
President Alumnae Associalian.

To rm: Enrroxs or Tm: GATE Posr:

This message bears to you and the pub-
lication which you are so eagerly sponsor-
ing my sincerest greetings and best wishes
for your great happiness in its undertaking
and for its marked success under your
literary editorship and business manage-
ment. '

The efforts last year in the preparation
and circulation of two numbers of The
Hilltop News were deeply appreciated and
made evident an interest in a more pre-
tentious school paper, an outlet for the
news of the school and a medium of en-
couragement and publicity for the literary
productions of those among our students
and faculty who may desire to give ex-
pression to creative prose and poetic abil-
ity.

The alumna: and undergraduates will
welcome, I am sure, this new student ac-
tivity as another evidence of the school’s
ever widening influence.

May this venture into the field of school
journalism meet your fondcst expectations
of interest and value.

FRANCIS A. BAGNALL,
Principal.

A good name is like a fortune. Many
a man found one more difficult to pre-
serve than to acquire.

Daughter of President
Wilson Speaks

Disarmament Upheld by Mrs.
Sayre at Assembly



Mrs. Sayre, whose address of March 7
was sponsored by the Y. W. C. A., upheld
Disarmament to the highest degree. She
is the second daughter of the late Presi-
dent Wilson. Her address on “The Dis-
armament of the World and International
Relations” proved to be of general inter-
est because of the prevailing state of de-
pression.

At the present time, the world is in need
of a strong power for peace. It is im-
possible for the United States to keep
world-wide affairs from her doors. Mrs.
Sayre stated that our state of depression
cannot be compared with that of England,
who is passing her eleventh year of unem-
ployment. Germany as well as Russia is
facing poverty, and probably a Civil War.

Anarchy, says Mrs. Sayre, is considered
as one of the worst traits in a citizen, and
if found the citizen is deported. Neverthe-
less, if a nation outspeaks and asserts her
independence, she is showing anarchy, but
it is termed sovereignty.

Mrs. Sayre gave the assembly statistics
on disarmament which brought a new light
upon the international defense of the world.
She said that one sixth of the total ’buaget
is used for arms.

She spoke on the points which our dele-
gates agreed upon at the last conference.
At this last conference, it was agreed to
bring up the political questions first before
the technical questions.

Mrs. Sayre left with us the thought that,
“Violence does not prove which person is
right but which person is left.”

After her interesting talk, tea was served
in the Faculty room. The members of
the Y. W. C. A. and the Faculty were
cordially invited.

Framingham to- be State
Teachers College



A bill to change the name of the State
Normal School to “State Teachers College"
has been passed by the Legislature. This
will include all of the nine Normal Schools
of the State of Massachusetts. F. N. S.
will now be known as the State Teachers
College at Framingham, and the Principal
will become the President of the College.

Framingham Students
Take T. B. Test

Tuesday morning from 9:00 to 11:00
a. m., students throughout the school were
seen marching through the halls and with
one sleeve rolled up. It was a queer sight,
but the explanation is simple. Dr. Wake-
field had been administering to faculty
and to students of the school the Von
Pirquet Test for tubercular susceptibility.
Positive results of the test, stated Dr.
Wakefield, will begin to show Thursday
or Friday, and start to disappear by Sun-
day.



Don’t worry when you stumble-remem-
ber that a worm is about the only thing
that cannot fall down.

Edwin Markham Speaks
At Monday Assembly

Audience Delighted by Talk on
Poetry

Edwin Markham was the speaker at the
Monday Assembly on February 15, and
for an hour delighted his audience with
an extremely interesting talk on “What
is Poetry?” “Poetry," says Mr. Mark-
ham, “is not of the thinking heart of man,
not of the intellect, it comes from a world
beyond that of science. It is the deeper
meaning of existence.” And quoting
Shakespeare, he says, “A poet is of im-
agination all compact. The poet’s eye in
a fine frenzy rolls, and in that moment he
glances from heaven to earth, and from
earth to heaven, and sees the world materi-
ally and spiritually, with a mystery that
you and I had overlooked.” According to
Mr. Markham, “Where science stops,
poetry begins."

At the close of the lecture this famous
poet read some of his poems: “Child of
My Heart,” “Three Green Eggs,” “Poet
Love,” “The Judgment Hour," “The
Cross,” and “Lincoln.” As an encore, Mr.
Markham read “Washington,” his latest
poem, which had never been read before
any audience.

For a man of his age (he will be eighty

on his next birthday) Mr. Markham is]
ami‘

'uuiy remarkabi'c: Vri-Zis ~chin.” innit
beard are most distinguishing, and he
looks every inch a poet. In him we find
an unusual and outstanding personality,
one which should be classed with the
greatest poets of the age, and in his brief
visit at our school he made a. place for
himself in the hearts of all present. We
feel sure it was a great honor to have
such a famous person in our midst, and
thanks are extended to the Student Gov-
ernment Association, under whose direc-
tion the assembly was sponsored.





Musical Clubs Concert
Given March 11

The annual Glee Club concert, this year
in combination with the M. I. T. Glee
Club, was held Friday evening, March 11,
in May Hall. The affair was under the
direction of Mr. Frederick W. Archibald.

The vari-colored dresses of the girls,
combined with the dark suits of the young
men formed a very attractive picture, and
the talent displayed was exceptionally fine.

Helen Russo, ’33, was the manager of
the concert, and she did an excellent piece
of work. The cor-mittee were composed
of the following girls: Tickets, Catherine
Hayden, ’35, chairman; Theodatha Hoitt,
'35; Lillian Barden, ’34; Eleanor Mendum,
'34; Betty Pipe, ’31; and Mildred Sulli-
van, ’34. Ushers: Betty Pipe, ’33, chair-
man; Priscilla Heathcote, ’32; Phyllis
Lindstrom, ’32; Ann McCarty, ’32; Mary
Permerino, '32; Eleanor Eisenhauer, ’32;
and Josephine Niedjelski, '32. Decorations:
Beth Merrihew, ’35, chairman; Dorothy
Seisig, ’35; Doris Hoffman, ’35; and Vir-
ginia Boucher, '35. Social: Esther Berg,

phy, ’35. Program: Esther Dunham, ’35,
chairman; and Ruth Goddard, ’34. Pub-
licity: Catherine Rockwood, '32, chairman.
Accompanist: Beatrice Willard, ’34.

The program was very well selected, and
was as follows:

International Night
Again Given

Home Economics Affair Very
Successful .

International Night, the annual affair
sponsored by the Home Economics Club,
was held Friday evening, March 4, at eight
o’clock, in the assembly hall. The hall
was lighted entirely by candles, which made
a very pretty setting for the colorful
booths at which all sorts of foreign foods
were sold. The waitresses who served the
guests at small tables were gowned in
bright peasant costumes representing the
different nationalities.

A charming Japanese girl from Boston,
a guest of the club, spoke briefly at. the
beginning of the evening. After that the
program continued as follows:

by faculty and students alike, and was re-
garded by Ruth Spencer, ’32, as very suc-
cessful.



Framingham Night at
Pops Concert

Framingham night at Pops Concert is
one event which you certainly should not
miss. Get your party together and make
yours plans early. Each year the colleges
in and around Boston have a special night
at Pops and it has been our good fortune,
through Mr. Archibald, to have a Fram-
ingham night. “Framingham Night" is
printed on the program. We have a sec-
tion reserved for us and our friends
(gentlemen, if you wish).

Pops is a place where you can have a.
good time, spend a very enjoyable even-
ing, and listen to good music. The atmos-
phere is filled with that indefinable Fram-
ingham spirit.

MISS LOUISE KINGMAN



Miss Kingman Elected
As Faculty Advisor
On Gate Post Staff

Miss Carter Assists in Publica-
tion of First Issue





Miss Louise Kingman of the English and
Physical Education departments of the
school, has been elected to serve on the
staff of the GATE Posr in the position of
faculty advisor. Previous to the establish-
ing of this school newspaper, Miss King-
man’s enthusiasm over the prospect was
instrumental in the growth of the idea. She
ihas chosen as her assistant iss Ruth Car-
ter, also of the'bn'g‘fish superman; “""‘

Miss Kingman is popular in the school,
not only as a member of the faculty, but
also in directing and assisting many of the
student activities. The annual Fine Arts
Play which is directed by Miss Kingman,
is always an attractive event to outsiders
as well as to students.

A Welcome

The Activities Committee of the faculty
wish the GATE Posr every possible suc-
cess. With the advent of this new ven-
ture we hope there will be a renewed
school spirit and a Ioftier aim in all the-
littlc things that pertain to school life.
We congratulate the Student Government
Association for its courage in starting the
GATE Posr at this particular time of finan-
cial stress. Get behind it, students! Sub-
scribe for the year or buy single copies.
It costs money to run a nen'spaper. Make
it a “news" paper in every sense of the
word. It will be only as good as you
make it.



All success to you,
FREDERICK W. RIED.

THE GATE POST
At last it is here!

A school newspaper, The GATE POST, which has for
so many years been a dream of faculty, alumnaa, and students alike, has
finally become a reality.
In publishing our first issue we are expecting your criticism, and anticipating your commendations.

Probably few students realize how much time and effort was spent by
certain organizations of the school before such a possibility could be placed
before the student body. Therefore, we of the staff wish to make a few
acknowledgements which we feel sure will express the feelings of everyone in regard to the privilege of having this publication.
First, we want to thank the committee of English teachers whose interest and enthusiasm has changed the idea of a newspaper from something vague to something tangible. With them it has been a question for some time as to whether
the school could establish a newspaper and carry it on successfully.

Meanwhile the Student Government Council had been working on the
same idea and soon the two committees combined to work together on the
growing prospect.

We who are not members of those groups have no conception of the
work done by them in furthering the interest of such a publication.

We must not forget the Hilltop News. Probably it was that organiza-
tion which made us realize how much we would like a permanent news-
paper. We add that the Hilltop News staff left the sum of twenty-one
dollars to the Student Government for the use of the newspaper.

The permanency of the GATE POST is at stake with your support, its
growth demands your contributions, and its betterment rests upon your criticisms; we cannot do it all.
Show us that you appreciate the work of the English teachers, the Student Government Council, and the staff of the Hilltop News.

In publishing a newspaper of this kind it is felt that some outstanding
needs of the school will be supplied. One of them is the establishment of
a bond between the alumna: and the school, a connection which has long
been desired by the graduating classes; secondly, the strengthening of in-
terests and relationships between commuters and boarding students;
third the provision of a means whereby students may freely make sugges-
tions for the betterment of the school.


FREE SPEECH

It is the last point about which we wish to speak. The GATE POST has
in this issue printed at “Free Speech” column in which there is a letter
presenting a very decided viewpoint on a school problem. The paper will
continue to print this column for any letters written by faculty or students.
Have you some questions you wish discussed? Write a letter “To the
Editor” stating your opinions and it will be printed in the next issue. The
GATE POST will not, however, print any letter which might be detrimental
to the school or injurious to any person. It also reserves the right to elim-
inate any undesirable part of a letter.

All letters must be written on one side of the sheet only, addressed to
the editor, and submitted two weeks in advance of publication.
Let the school hear your side of the story!


The GATE POST staff wishes to extend its sincere thanks to Mr. Frederick
W. Ried for his valuable help in the preparation of this issue.


Watch for the Handbook on Etiquette!


First, we want to

The Herald



Trending lightly, gayly, softly,
Spreading fragrance, bringing light,

Comes the herald of the sov’reign,
0n the very heels of night.

Winter‘s icy barriers crumble,
Snow-bound fields before her melt;

They bow down before her power,

Those who winter blasts have felt.

Who is this most radiant being,

She whose praises all winds sing?
She is love, and joy, and beauty;
She, the lovely herald—Spring!

The Old Bookshop
Alone,
On the corner it stands,
That old bookshop
Where many‘hours
Are spent
By those who know
And love it.
It does not mean much
To the passing crowd
Who turn
And remark
For something better.
“That place should be razed."
But to a chosen few
It is their joy
In life.
They will spend
An hour
Or maybe two
With row upon row
Of friends
In that old bookshop.

Breakfast



When you are deciding whether or not

melt in your mouth, to say nothing of pip-
ing hot coffee. What a meal with which

her committee of Seniors will be glad to
welcome you.



Abraham Lincoln



Ah, some one speaks the name of Lincoln!
And, I, a-dreaming, seem to see

A silent lad before the firelight,
A worthy book upon his knee.

And now I see him bravely trudging
Q'er rough and dreary miles to school

To satisfy the thirst for knowledge
That kindled in his boyish soul.

With loyalty and patience toiling,
With ever growing strength and mind,
I see him rise to might and manhood,
Enduring, faithful, just, and kind.

And with his patriot‘s heart full, dreaming,
Although his dreams a cause for jest,

I see him climb to rank Of lawyer,
Still striving with unbroken zest.

The years go by. I see him, hero,
As leader of the nation stand,
His heart in sympathy with freedom

For ev‘ry negro in the land.

And now I watch him through the battle "

That freed,
slave,

at length, the hampered

And see the tragedy that sent him
SO true a martyr to his grave.

As Liberator—then I hail him—-
Who from a meager boyhood came,
And rose, triumphant over hardships
To rest in honor and in fame!
ALICI: JEANNETTI‘. WARI).

A 'Day On the “Europa”



It was 12:30 AM. when our boat pulled
out of the wharf at New York with bands
playing and crowds on shore cheering.
The lights are left behind, and we are
sound asleep at 1:30, only to be waked
by the familiar strain Of “Annie Laurie”
played on the comet at 7:30 A.M. as a
signal to get up. A plunge in a salt water
bath, followed by a cold, fresh shower,
puts one in fine condition for a full course
breakfast—«fruits, cereals, and a long list
of electives. At the table we plan our
day for recreation, some to read, others
to play deck-tennis, shuffleboard, quoits,
and some just to sit. Ten o'clock comes
before one knows it, when a nice cup of
hot broth is served with crackers. Then
at eleven the band gives an hour of music
on the promenade deck, and now it is
most time for lunch; 12:30 finds us at the
table again for a four-course lunch, after
which most of us enjoy a rest or nap in
our steamer chair. More out-of—door games
in the. afternoon with tea and cakes served
at 4:00 I'.M. Letter-writing takes the
time until dinner at 6:30; and it is sur-
prising how much one can eat. This even-
ing there is a dance in one salon, anti
movies in the dining-room, or one can
play cards in the smoking-room. At ten
O’clock cocoa or soft drinks are served.
Then good night at eleven. It has been a
delightful day with lovely blue sky over-
head, and deep blue-green of ocean as far
as the eye can see.

Try it sometime.


A glorious experience
awaits you!

What Is the “Studio”?



Been hearing strange noises up over the
Assembly Hall lately? To prevent the pos-
sible circulation of stories about certain
"ghostlike scratchings" and “eerie, wet
slapping noises" from the regions of the
unknown, we hasten to let the proverbial
cat out of the bag~part way out, at least.
The scratching noise can be attributed,
quite satisfactorily, to the tremendous
amount of Freshman energy being ex-
pended right now, with the aid of sand-
paper, on the sides of two bureaus, until
now, lost to the world in the deepest,
darkest corner of our deep, dark-cornered
attic. Ever been up? Possibilities galore
in two old bureaus! You are wondering?
Two old bureaus when scraped down and
painted up (Chinese red for the wooden
knobs) will be ideal “chucking room" for
paint brushes, anti modeling knives, and
loils, paint rags, and all such artist impedi-
Imental

Now we have let the cat out. The
Green Room ove‘rsthe Assembly Hall until
recently has been a room of many uses
and of no explained origin (as yet). Dr.
Meier tried it out as a conservatory for a
while. Since Dr. Foster did not consider
lit a healthy place for rat families, it has
’proved an excellent scenery and costume
resting place. That it has been and such
a chaotic one.

The awakening came, the Renaissance

better, when some visionary in the Fine
Arts Club saw the possibilities of it becom-



mg a place to fool around in modeling clay,
oil paint, and charcoal in those spare
moments—we hear about.

And this is the story of the mysterious
Green Room now better known as the
“Studio."

Senior Book Club



The Senior Book Club carried on in
conjunction with the Senior English Class
is a club to which any Senior may belong
on payment of dues. The purpose Of the
club is to provide new Worthwhile book-s,
and the money paid for dues is used to
buy these books. Some of the books
which have been very much enjoyed by
those who have read them are:

“Education of a Princess," by Marie
Grand Duchess Of Russia; “Black Daniel,"
by Morron; “Years of Grace," by Mar—
garet Barnes; “Shadows on the Rock," by
Willa Cather; “Labyrinth," by Helen Hull;
“Judith Paris," by Walpole; “Kristin Lav-
ransdatter,” by Undset.

The committee which has chosen the
books is made up of Sarah Howland,
Clare Curley, Marion Ramsdell.
Rhodes is librarian.

Dial Dance Held
In Peirce Hall

Valentine Affair Brings Large
Attendance





The annual Dial dance, given by the
Seniors to raise money for their yearbook,
was held on February 13 in Peirce Hall
dining-room. Music was furnished by Lou
Larkin’s orchestra and decorations were in
the nature of St. Valentine's Day.

Lucelia Balkam was the general chair-
man, assisted by Emily Swann, Choris
Jenkins, Fredonia Hartung, Theresa Hol-
land, Clare Curley, Dorothy McEnany,
Beatrice Vanderhoop, and Priscilla Heath-
cote.

Principal and Mrs. Bagnall, Mr. and
Mrs. Reid, Miss Sparrows, and Mr. Archi-
bald acted as patrons and patronesses.
Mrs. Bagnall wore black chiffon, Mrs. Reid
was gowned in eggshell satin, while orchid
lace was Miss Sparrow’s choice.

The affair was well attended, there being about 175 tickets sold, and according to
the committee in charge was a great finan-
cial success.

The Dial dance is an annual event w
the entire student body anticipate.
are extended to all who helped make the
dance so successful.

Mrs. Bagnall Guest at Club
Meeting



Mrs. S. Francis A. Bagnall, wife of Prin—
cipal Francis A. Bagnall, was the guest
recently at the Business and Professional
Women's Club meeting, which tendered a
dinner and reception in honor of Mrs.
Dolly Gann. The meeting was held in the
Hotel Bradford, Boston.

Dress Appreciation Class to
Give Play

During the assembly hour, at three
o’clock, on March 21, 1932, the members
of the "tress Appreciation Class are to
give a program entitled, “What Shall We
Wear?" This has been prepared under the
supervision of Miss Muriel Buckley from
the play, “The Revolt of the Dresses," by
E. S. Schaeffer.

The purpose of the program is to give
the students of the school, especially those
who have had no Clothing training, an
opportunity to see costumes which are ap-
propriate for the various school activities.

The class wishes to take this opportunity
to express their appreciation to all of the
faculty and students who are helping with
this program.

Student Government Asso-
ciation to be Represented
at Conference



Mary Partridge and Phyllis Hillman are
to be delegates at Conference in New
York City.

The Student Government Council has
agreed to send Mary Partridge and Phyl-
lis Hillman as its delegates to the annual
Conference of the Eastern-States Associa-
tion of Professional Schools for Teachers
held in New York City.

Mary Partridge is the competent Junior
Class President and Secretary of the Stu-
dent Government Association. She is to
be the Speaker representing this school at
the Conference to be held in the Spring.

Phyllis Hillman is a popular Senior, and
Treasurer of the Student Government As-
sociation.

We sincerely hope that these girls will
enjoy the Conference, and bring back to
us some information which may be used
in this school.

New Secretary Appointed to
Principal



Miss Lillian Melzgar, a graduate of
Burdett College, has recently been ap-
pointed as secretary to the principal.
She was formerly employed by the Dennison Manufacturing Co., of Framingham.



FREE SPEECH
To the Editors:

Some of us have wondered why we
have never had any debates for the bene-
fit of the entire school. It is true that a
Debating Club would be adding to a
rather long list of clubs already organized,
but then, do we need a club in order to
have debates? We think not! Student
Government could surely provide us with
some interesting contests. Perhaps we
could have a group of volunteers who
would be willing to debate problems of
vital interest to us. This would be greatly
appreciated by those alert students who
like to know how the different questions
are progressing. On the other hand, it is
advantageous for teachers to know how to
debate, that is, to know how to present
clear, forceful arguments for a worthwhile
cause.



Juniors Entertain Freshmen
at Tea in Crocker

The members of the Freshman Class
which were guests of the Juniors at a tea in
Crocker on Tuesday, February 16. To say
the Freshmen enjoyed themselves would
be putting it mildly, for as we all know, a
flea at (Irocker, with goodies that only
those Juniors know how to prepare, is a
popular occasion.

The receiving line, which stood in the
front living room, included Mr. and Mrs.
Bagnall, Dean Savage, Miss French, Miss
Hutchinson, Mary Partridge and Dorothy
Hutchinson. After meeting them the
guests were ushered into the back living
room and dining room, where refresh-
ments were served from dainty tea tables.
Decorations were in keeping with Saint

Valentine's Day.

- Miss Mary Partridge and Miss Evelyn
Norby were in charge of the affair, as-
sisted by a group of able Juniors.
Thanks are extended to Miss Hall for
her efforts in making the tea a success, and
to the members of the Junior Class for
cooperating as they did. ' ‘

delighted with the results of their efforts
in producing the program this year.





SPORTS

For the past two months class basketball
has been in full swing. All games have
been very exciting and worth while watch-
ing. With a capable manager, Phyllis
Lindstrom, a schedule was arranged for
the games, and they were systematically
played. Of course we all acknowledged
the championship of the H. A. Seniors
who won all games. The Elementary Jun-
ior team was a close second, losing only
to the “champs.” The Seniors “swamped”
everyone they played, but with this ex-
ception the teams were quite evenly
matched. Miss Taylor cooperated and
gave much of her time as she does to
every sport. We now close this season
looking forward to our spring sports and]
anticipating great fun out-of—doors.

Give me a spoon of olco, Ma,
And the sodium alkali,
For I’m going to make a pie, Ma,

For Dad will be hungry and tired, Ma,
And his tissues will decompose;
So give me a gram of phosphate
And the carbon and the cellulose.
Now give me a chunk of casein, Ma,
To shorten the thermic fat,
And give me the 0: bottle, Ma,
And look at the thermostat
And if the electric oven is cold
Just turn it on half an ohm,
For I want to have supper ready

ODE T0 POSTURE

Mary had a great big curve

In her lower spine.
She studied posture for a year

And now she stands just fine.

- a no: t

I have a little backbone

That always walks with me,
And when I try to stand up straight

It’s straight as it can be.

But when I walk all slumped down
From my head down to my heels

It twists and turns in great long curves
Just like those wiggly eels.

It hasn’t any notion
Of the way it ought to stay,
And if I’m not most careful
Wobbles every sort of' way.

It stays so close beside me
I’m as good as I can be,
For if I don’t behave myself
That bone will copy me.

Take for instance the postage stamp; it
must stick to one thing until it has carried
it through completely to its destination.

The good ship Nausea went to sea
With a rollicking crew aboard,
With a bosun tight, and a midshipmite
And a lad who was known as Lord;
So they sailed away for a year and a day
To the land of the Jellibo-lee
Where the Dinkus bird was distinctly
heard
On the Amfalula tree

They were eight days out on the gallant
sloop '

And tearing along for fair,

When the Bosun mounted the starboard
poop

And he raved and tore his hair;

With a desperate look he waved a book

While he told the crew to heed him,

And he cried, “What devilish good are
yez?—

Here's our cook-book crawlin' with rec-
ipes

For hearty lubbers what sail the seas,—-

And none 0’ you blokes can read ’eml!

Now what am I to do with the blasted
crew

When I don't know what to feed 'em??”

Then up spoke a lad of about 14

(Who was later to become a distinquish-
dean)

And his voice was shrill but hearty,

“I can read, I can cook, I can stand de-

bukes,

And my seaweed pie is a dish (1e qur,

So I’ll cook for the whole durn party!”

And even now in the Sailors' Rest
When the old salts get together
And weave tall tales of adventurous sails
Under every sort of weather,

You can hear them sigh

As they pipe their eye

And recall the glories

Of seaweed pie;

And their joyfullest stories

Will testify

To the virtues of the spices

of Seaweed Pie!

As around the board

Each bares his head

And thanks the Lord

For his daily bread,

But thanks Dean Lord

With a heartfelt sigh

For the nautical bliss

Of SEAWEED PIE.

Y. W. Notes



Have you been attending any of the
Y. W. discussions this year? Did you
know that fifteen or more have been held
so far?

Y. has attempted to meet in small
groups ‘to which anyone is welcome and
from which many worthwhile things have
evolved. Leaders include Miss Carter,
Miss Ramsdell. Mrs, Davenport, Miss
Hund and Ann Silver.

By the way, five members of our Cab-
inet attended Cabinet Day at Wellesley
College the other day. Just ask any of
them any question about Depression.

To go back to what we started to say,
if you hear any announcements about
Y. discussion groups, consider yourself
included. Drop in and argue a few points
with us. We’d like to see you.

True happiness is to no place confined,
But yet is found in a contended mind.

It takes less cleverness to deceive others
than to keep from being deceived yourself.

All things come to him who waits, but
not in a cafeteria.

Miss Weeks, who has been absent from
her work as teacher of Freshman Foods

for her full recovery but we hope to have
her back with us in the Fall. We are sure

Greetings to all present students and to
all graduates of the State Normal School
at Framingham.

The Alumna: Association extends con-
gratulations and gratitude to those who
have made possible this paper. We wel-
come it not only as a means of coming in
closer contact with the activities of the
school, but also as an opportunity of be-
coming better acquainted with one an-
other. .

Success to the new enterprise!

GRACE E. BARTLETT,
President Alumnae Associalian.

To rm: Enrroxs or Tm: GATE Posr:

This message bears to you and the pub-
lication which you are so eagerly sponsor-
ing my sincerest greetings and best wishes
for your great happiness in its undertaking
and for its marked success under your
literary editorship and business manage-
ment. '

The efforts last year in the preparation
and circulation of two numbers of The
Hilltop News were deeply appreciated and
made evident an interest in a more pre-
tentious school paper, an outlet for the
news of the school and a medium of en-
couragement and publicity for the literary
productions of those among our students
and faculty who may desire to give ex-
pression to creative prose and poetic abil-
ity.

The alumna: and undergraduates will
welcome, I am sure, this new student ac-
tivity as another evidence of the school’s
ever widening influence.

May this venture into the field of school
journalism meet your fondcst expectations
of interest and value.

Daughter of President
Wilson Speaks

Disarmament Upheld by Mrs.
Sayre at Assembly



Mrs. Sayre, whose address of March 7
was sponsored by the Y. W. C. A., upheld
Disarmament to the highest degree. She
is the second daughter of the late Presi-
dent Wilson. Her address on “The Dis-
armament of the World and International
Relations” proved to be of general inter-
est because of the prevailing state of de-
pression.

At the present time, the world is in need
of a strong power for peace. It is im-
possible for the United States to keep
world-wide affairs from her doors. Mrs.
Sayre stated that our state of depression
cannot be compared with that of England,
who is passing her eleventh year of unem-
ployment. Germany as well as Russia is
facing poverty, and probably a Civil War.

Anarchy, says Mrs. Sayre, is considered
as one of the worst traits in a citizen, and
if found the citizen is deported. Neverthe-
less, if a nation outspeaks and asserts her
independence, she is showing anarchy, but
it is termed sovereignty.

Mrs. Sayre gave the assembly statistics
on disarmament which brought a new light
upon the international defense of the world.
She said that one sixth of the total ’buaget
is used for arms.

She spoke on the points which our dele-
gates agreed upon at the last conference.
At this last conference, it was agreed to
bring up the political questions first before
the technical questions.

Mrs. Sayre left with us the thought that,
“Violence does not prove which person is
right but which person is left.”

After her interesting talk, tea was served
in the Faculty room. The members of
the Y. W. C. A. and the Faculty were
cordially invited.

Framingham to- be State
Teachers College



A bill to change the name of the State
Normal School to “State Teachers College"
has been passed by the Legislature. This
will include all of the nine Normal Schools
of the State of Massachusetts. F. N. S.
will now be known as the State Teachers
College at Framingham, and the Principal
will become the President of the College.

Framingham Students
Take T. B. Test

Tuesday morning from 9:00 to 11:00
a. m., students throughout the school were
seen marching through the halls and with
one sleeve rolled up. It was a queer sight,
but the explanation is simple. Dr. Wake-
field had been administering to faculty
and to students of the school the Von
Pirquet Test for tubercular susceptibility.
Positive results of the test, stated Dr.
Wakefield, will begin to show Thursday
or Friday, and start to disappear by Sun-
day.

Edwin Markham Speaks
At Monday Assembly

Audience Delighted by Talk on
Poetry

Edwin Markham was the speaker at the
Monday Assembly on February 15, and
for an hour delighted his audience with
an extremely interesting talk on “What
is Poetry?” “Poetry," says Mr. Mark-
ham, “is not of the thinking heart of man,
not of the intellect, it comes from a world
beyond that of science. It is the deeper
meaning of existence.” And quoting
Shakespeare, he says, “A poet is of im-
agination all compact. The poet’s eye in
a fine frenzy rolls, and in that moment he
glances from heaven to earth, and from
earth to heaven, and sees the world materi-
ally and spiritually, with a mystery that
you and I had overlooked.” According to
Mr. Markham, “Where science stops,
poetry begins."

At the close of the lecture this famous
poet read some of his poems: “Child of
My Heart,” “Three Green Eggs,” “Poet
Love,” “The Judgment Hour," “The
Cross,” and “Lincoln.” As an encore, Mr.
Markham read “Washington,” his latest
poem, which had never been read before
any audience.

For a man of his age (he will be eighty

on his next birthday) Mr. Markham is]
ami‘

'uuiy remarkabi'c: Vri-Zis ~chin.” innit
beard are most distinguishing, and he
looks every inch a poet. In him we find
an unusual and outstanding personality,
one which should be classed with the
greatest poets of the age, and in his brief
visit at our school he made a. place for
himself in the hearts of all present. We
feel sure it was a great honor to have
such a famous person in our midst, and
thanks are extended to the Student Gov-
ernment Association, under whose direc-
tion the assembly was sponsored.





Musical Clubs Concert
Given March 11

The annual Glee Club concert, this year
in combination with the M. I. T. Glee
Club, was held Friday evening, March 11,
in May Hall. The affair was under the
direction of Mr. Frederick W. Archibald.

The vari-colored dresses of the girls,
combined with the dark suits of the young
men formed a very attractive picture, and
the talent displayed was exceptionally fine.

Helen Russo, ’33, was the manager of
the concert, and she did an excellent piece
of work. The cor-mittee were composed
of the following girls: Tickets, Catherine
Hayden, ’35, chairman; Theodatha Hoitt,
'35; Lillian Barden, ’34; Eleanor Mendum,
'34; Betty Pipe, ’31; and Mildred Sulli-

Home Economics Affair Very
Successful .

International Night, the annual affair
sponsored by the Home Economics Club,
was held Friday evening, March 4, at eight
o’clock, in the assembly hall. The hall
was lighted entirely by candles, which made
a very pretty setting for the colorful
booths at which all sorts of foreign foods
were sold. The waitresses who served the
guests at small tables were gowned in
bright peasant costumes representing the
different nationalities.

A charming Japanese girl from Boston,
a guest of the club, spoke briefly at. the
beginning of the evening. After that the
program continued as follows:

cessful.



Framingham Night at
Pops Concert

Framingham night at Pops Concert is
one event which you certainly should not
miss. Get your party together and make
yours plans early. Each year the colleges
in and around Boston have a special night
at Pops and it has been our good fortune,
through Mr. Archibald, to have a Fram-
ingham night. “Framingham Night" is
printed on the program. We have a sec-
tion reserved for us and our friends
(gentlemen, if you wish).

Pops is a place where you can have a.
good time, spend a very enjoyable even-
ing, and listen to good music. The atmos-
phere is filled with that indefinable Fram-
ingham spirit.

MISS LOUISE KINGMAN



Miss Kingman Elected
As Faculty Advisor
On Gate Post Staff

Miss Carter Assists in Publica-
tion of First Issue





Miss Louise Kingman of the English and
Physical Education departments of the
school, has been elected to serve on the
staff of the GATE Posr in the position of
faculty advisor. Previous to the establish-
ing of this school newspaper, Miss King-
man’s enthusiasm over the prospect was
instrumental in the growth of the idea. She
ihas chosen as her assistant iss Ruth Car-
ter, also of the'bn'g‘fish superman; “""‘

Miss Kingman is popular in the school,
not only as a member of the faculty, but
also in directing and assisting many of the
student activities. The annual Fine Arts
Play which is directed by Miss Kingman,
is always an attractive event to outsiders
as well as to students.

A Welcome

The Activities Committee of the faculty
wish the GATE Posr every possible suc-
cess. With the advent of this new ven-
ture we hope there will be a renewed
school spirit and a Ioftier aim in all the-
littlc things that pertain to school life.
We congratulate the Student Government
Association for its courage in starting the
GATE Posr at this particular time of finan-
cial stress. Get behind it, students! Sub-
scribe for the year or buy single copies.
It costs money to run a nen'spaper. Make
it a “news" paper in every sense of the
word. It will be only as good as you
make it.



All success to you,
FREDERICK W. RIED.

THE GATE POST
At last it is here!

A school newspaper, The GATE POST, which has for
so many years been a dream of faculty, alumnaa, and students alike, has
finally become a reality.
In publishing our first issue we are expecting your criticism, and anticipating your commendations.

Probably few students realize how much time and effort was spent by
certain organizations of the school before such a possibility could be placed
before the student body. Therefore, we of the staff wish to make a few
acknowledgements which we feel sure will express the feelings of everyone in regard to the privilege of having this publication.
First, we want to thank the committee of English teachers whose interest and enthusiasm has changed the idea of a newspaper from something vague to something tangible. With them it has been a question for some time as to whether
the school could establish a newspaper and carry it on successfully.

Meanwhile the Student Government Council had been working on the
same idea and soon the two committees combined to work together on the
growing prospect.

We who are not members of those groups have no conception of the
work done by them in furthering the interest of such a publication.

We must not forget the Hilltop News. Probably it was that organiza-
tion which made us realize how much we would like a permanent news-
paper. We add that the Hilltop News staff left the sum of twenty-one
dollars to the Student Government for the use of the newspaper.

The permanency of the GATE POST is at stake with your support, its
growth demands your contributions, and its betterment rests upon your criticisms; we cannot do it all.
Show us that you appreciate the work of the English teachers, the Student Government Council, and the staff of the Hilltop News.

In publishing a newspaper of this kind it is felt that some outstanding
needs of the school will be supplied. One of them is the establishment of
a bond between the alumna: and the school, a connection which has long
been desired by the graduating classes; secondly, the strengthening of in-
terests and relationships between commuters and boarding students;
third the provision of a means whereby students may freely make sugges-
tions for the betterment of the school.


FREE SPEECH

It is the last point about which we wish to speak. The GATE POST has
in this issue printed at “Free Speech” column in which there is a letter
presenting a very decided viewpoint on a school problem. The paper will
continue to print this column for any letters written by faculty or students.
Have you some questions you wish discussed? Write a letter “To the
Editor” stating your opinions and it will be printed in the next issue. The
GATE POST will not, however, print any letter which might be detrimental
to the school or injurious to any person. It also reserves the right to elim-
inate any undesirable part of a letter.

All letters must be written on one side of the sheet only, addressed to
the editor, and submitted two weeks in advance of publication.
Let the school hear your side of the story!


The GATE POST staff wishes to extend its sincere thanks to Mr. Frederick
W. Ried for his valuable help in the preparation of this issue.


Watch for the Handbook on Etiquette!


First, we want to

The Herald



Trending lightly, gayly, softly,
Spreading fragrance, bringing light,

Comes the herald of the sov’reign,
0n the very heels of night.

Winter‘s icy barriers crumble,
Snow-bound fields before her melt;

They bow down before her power,

Those who winter blasts have felt.

Who is this most radiant being,

She whose praises all winds sing?
She is love, and joy, and beauty;
She, the lovely herald—Spring!

The Old Bookshop
Alone,
On the corner it stands,
That old bookshop
Where many‘hours
Are spent
By those who know
And love it.
It does not mean much
To the passing crowd
Who turn
And remark
For something better.
“That place should be razed."
But to a chosen few
It is their joy
In life.
They will spend
An hour
Or maybe two
With row upon row
Of friends
In that old bookshop.

Breakfast



When you are deciding whether or not
to stay here April 1‘), remember the waffle
breakfast tO be served that morning. Just

melt in your mouth, to say nothing of pip-
ing hot coffee. What a meal with which
to start a holiday. Theresa Holland and



her committee of Seniors will be glad to
welcome you.



Abraham Lincoln



Ah, some one speaks the name of Lincoln!
And, I, a-dreaming, seem to see

A silent lad before the firelight,
A worthy book upon his knee.

And now I see him bravely trudging
Q'er rough and dreary miles to school

To satisfy the thirst for knowledge
That kindled in his boyish soul.

With loyalty and patience toiling,
With ever growing strength and mind,
I see him rise to might and manhood,
Enduring, faithful, just, and kind.

And with his patriot‘s heart full, dreaming,
Although his dreams a cause for jest,

I see him climb to rank Of lawyer,
Still striving with unbroken zest.

The years go by. I see him, hero,
As leader of the nation stand,
His heart in sympathy with freedom

For ev‘ry negro in the land.

And now I watch him through the battle "

That freed,
slave,

at length, the hampered

And see the tragedy that sent him
SO true a martyr to his grave.

As Liberator—then I hail him—-
Who from a meager boyhood came,
And rose, triumphant over hardships
To rest in honor and in fame!
ALICI: JEANNETTI‘. WARI).

A 'Day On the “Europa”



It was 12:30 AM. when our boat pulled
out of the wharf at New York with bands
playing and crowds on shore cheering.
The lights are left behind, and we are
sound asleep at 1:30, only to be waked
by the familiar strain Of “Annie Laurie”
played on the comet at 7:30 A.M. as a
signal to get up. A plunge in a salt water
bath, followed by a cold, fresh shower,
puts one in fine condition for a full course
breakfast—«fruits, cereals, and a long list
of electives. At the table we plan our
day for recreation, some to read, others
to play deck-tennis, shuffleboard, quoits,
and some just to sit. Ten o'clock comes
before one knows it, when a nice cup of
hot broth is served with crackers. Then
at eleven the band gives an hour of music
on the promenade deck, and now it is
most time for lunch; 12:30 finds us at the
table again for a four-course lunch, after
which most of us enjoy a rest or nap in
our steamer chair. More out-of—door games
in the. afternoon with tea and cakes served
at 4:00 I'.M. Letter-writing takes the
time until dinner at 6:30; and it is sur-
prising how much one can eat. This even-
ing there is a dance in one salon, anti
movies in the dining-room, or one can
play cards in the smoking-room. At ten
O’clock cocoa or soft drinks are served.
Then good night at eleven. It has been a
delightful day with lovely blue sky over-
head, and deep blue-green of ocean as far
as the eye can see.

Try it sometime.


A glorious experience
awaits you!

What Is the “Studio”?



Been hearing strange noises up over the
Assembly Hall lately? To prevent the pos-
sible circulation of stories about certain
"ghostlike scratchings" and “eerie, wet
slapping noises" from the regions of the
unknown, we hasten to let the proverbial
cat out of the bag~part way out, at least.
The scratching noise can be attributed,
quite satisfactorily, to the tremendous
amount of Freshman energy being ex-
pended right now, with the aid of sand-
paper, on the sides of two bureaus, until
now, lost to the world in the deepest,
darkest corner of our deep, dark-cornered
attic. Ever been up? Possibilities galore
in two old bureaus! You are wondering?
Two old bureaus when scraped down and
painted up (Chinese red for the wooden
knobs) will be ideal “chucking room" for
paint brushes, anti modeling knives, and
loils, paint rags, and all such artist impedi-
Imental

Now we have let the cat out. The
Green Room ove‘rsthe Assembly Hall until
recently has been a room of many uses
and of no explained origin (as yet). Dr.
Meier tried it out as a conservatory for a
while. Since Dr. Foster did not consider
lit a healthy place for rat families, it has
’proved an excellent scenery and costume
resting place. That it has been and such
a chaotic one.

The awakening came, the Renaissance

better, when some visionary in the Fine
Arts Club saw the possibilities of it becom-



mg a place to fool around in modeling clay,
oil paint, and charcoal in those spare
moments—we hear about.

And this is the story of the mysterious
Green Room now better known as the
“Studio."

Senior Book Club



The Senior Book Club carried on in
conjunction with the Senior English Class
is a club to which any Senior may belong
on payment of dues. The purpose Of the
club is to provide new Worthwhile book-s,
and the money paid for dues is used to
buy these books. Some of the books
which have been very much enjoyed by
those who have read them are:

“Education of a Princess," by Marie
Grand Duchess Of Russia; “Black Daniel,"
by Morron; “Years of Grace," by Mar—
garet Barnes; “Shadows on the Rock," by
Willa Cather; “Labyrinth," by Helen Hull;
“Judith Paris," by Walpole; “Kristin Lav-
ransdatter,” by Undset.

The committee which has chosen the
books is made up of Sarah Howland,
Clare Curley, Marion Ramsdell.
Rhodes is librarian.

Dial Dance Held
In Peirce Hall

Valentine Affair Brings Large
Attendance





The annual Dial dance, given by the
Seniors to raise money for their yearbook,
was held on February 13 in Peirce Hall
dining-room. Music was furnished by Lou
Larkin’s orchestra and decorations were in
the nature of St. Valentine's Day.

Lucelia Balkam was the general chair-

Jenkins, Fredonia Hartung, Theresa Hol-
land, Clare Curley, Dorothy McEnany,
Beatrice Vanderhoop, and Priscilla Heath-
cote.

Principal and Mrs. Bagnall, Mr. and
Mrs. Reid, Miss Sparrows, and Mr. Archi-
bald acted as patrons and patronesses.
Mrs. Bagnall wore black chiffon, Mrs. Reid
was gowned in eggshell satin, while orchid
lace was Miss Sparrow’s choice.

The affair was well attended, there being about 175 tickets sold, and according to
the committee in charge was a great finan-
cial success.

The Dial dance is an annual event w
the entire student body anticipate.
are extended to all who helped make the
dance so successful.

Mrs. Bagnall Guest at Club
Meeting



Mrs. S. Francis A. Bagnall, wife of Prin—
cipal Francis A. Bagnall, was the guest
recently at the Business and Professional
Women's Club meeting, which tendered a
dinner and reception in honor of Mrs.
Dolly Gann. The meeting was held in the
Hotel Bradford, Boston.

Dress Appreciation Class to
Give Play

During the assembly hour, at three
o’clock, on March 21, 1932, the members
of the "tress Appreciation Class are to
give a program entitled, “What Shall We
Wear?" This has been prepared under the
supervision of Miss Muriel Buckley from
the play, “The Revolt of the Dresses," by
E. S. Schaeffer.

The purpose of the program is to give
the students of the school, especially those
who have had no Clothing training, an
opportunity to see costumes which are ap-
propriate for the various school activities.

The class wishes to take this opportunity
to express their appreciation to all of the
faculty and students who are helping with
this program.

Student Government Asso-
ciation to be Represented
at Conference



Mary Partridge and Phyllis Hillman are
to be delegates at Conference in New
York City.

The Student Government Council has
agreed to send Mary Partridge and Phyl-
lis Hillman as its delegates to the annual
Conference of the Eastern-States Associa-
tion of Professional Schools for Teachers
held in New York City.

Mary Partridge is the competent Junior
Class President and Secretary of the Stu-
dent Government Association. She is to
be the Speaker representing this school at
the Conference to be held in the Spring.

Phyllis Hillman is a popular Senior, and
Treasurer of the Student Government As-
sociation.

We sincerely hope that these girls will
enjoy the Conference, and bring back to
us some information which may be used
in this school.

New Secretary Appointed to
Principal



Miss Lillian Melzgar, a graduate of
Burdett College, has recently been ap-
pointed as secretary to the principal.
She was formerly employed by the Dennison Manufacturing Co., of Framingham.



FREE SPEECH
To the Editors:

Some of us have wondered why we
have never had any debates for the bene-
fit of the entire school. It is true that a
Debating Club would be adding to a
rather long list of clubs already organized,
but then, do we need a club in order to
have debates? We think not! Student
Government could surely provide us with
some interesting contests. Perhaps we
could have a group of volunteers who
would be willing to debate problems of
vital interest to us. This would be greatly
appreciated by those alert students who
like to know how the different questions
are progressing. On the other hand, it is
advantageous for teachers to know how to
debate, that is, to know how to present
clear, forceful arguments for a worthwhile
cause.



Juniors Entertain Freshmen
at Tea in Crocker

The members of the Freshman Class
which were guests of the Juniors at a tea in
Crocker on Tuesday, February 16. To say
the Freshmen enjoyed themselves would
be putting it mildly, for as we all know, a
flea at (Irocker, with goodies that only
those Juniors know how to prepare, is a
popular occasion.

The receiving line, which stood in the
front living room, included Mr. and Mrs.
Bagnall, Dean Savage, Miss French, Miss
Hutchinson, Mary Partridge and Dorothy
Hutchinson. After meeting them the
guests were ushered into the back living
room and dining room, where refresh-
ments were served from dainty tea tables.
Decorations were in keeping with Saint

Valentine's Day.

- Miss Mary Partridge and Miss Evelyn
Norby were in charge of the affair, as-
sisted by a group of able Juniors.
Thanks are extended to Miss Hall for
her efforts in making the tea a success, and
to the members of the Junior Class for
cooperating as they did. ' ‘

delighted with the results of their efforts
in producing the program this year.





SPORTS

For the past two months class basketball
has been in full swing. All games have
been very exciting and worth while watch-
ing. With a capable manager, Phyllis
Lindstrom, a schedule was arranged for
the games, and they were systematically
played. Of course we all acknowledged
the championship of the H. A. Seniors
who won all games. The Elementary Jun-
ior team was a close second, losing only
to the “champs.” The Seniors “swamped”
everyone they played, but with this ex-
ception the teams were quite evenly
matched. Miss Taylor cooperated and
gave much of her time as she does to
every sport. We now close this season
looking forward to our spring sports and]
anticipating great fun out-of—doors.

HOME-MADE PIE—AD. 2000

Give me a spoon of olco, Ma,
And the sodium alkali,
For I’m going to make a pie, Ma,
I'm going to make a pie.
For Dad will be hungry and tired, Ma,
And his tissues will decompose;
So give me a gram of phosphate
And the carbon and the cellulose.
Now give me a chunk of casein, Ma,
To shorten the thermic fat,
And give me the 0: bottle, Ma,
And look at the thermostat
And if the electric oven is cold
Just turn it on half an ohm,
For I want to have supper ready
As soon as dad comes home.

ODE T0 POSTURE

Mary had a great big curve

In her lower spine.
She studied posture for a year

And now she stands just fine.

- a no: t

I have a little backbone

That always walks with me,
And when I try to stand up straight

It’s straight as it can be.

But when I walk all slumped down
From my head down to my heels

It twists and turns in great long curves
Just like those wiggly eels.

It hasn’t any notion
Of the way it ought to stay,
And if I’m not most careful
Wobbles every sort of' way.

It stays so close beside me
I’m as good as I can be,
For if I don’t behave myself
That bone will copy me.

Take for instance the postage stamp; it
must stick to one thing until it has carried
it through completely to its destination.

The good ship Nausea went to sea
With a rollicking crew aboard,
With a bosun tight, and a midshipmite
And a lad who was known as Lord;
So they sailed away for a year and a day
To the land of the Jellibo-lee
Where the Dinkus bird was distinctly
heard
On the Amfalula tree

They were eight days out on the gallant
sloop '

And tearing along for fair,

When the Bosun mounted the starboard
poop

And he raved and tore his hair;

With a desperate look he waved a book

While he told the crew to heed him,

And he cried, “What devilish good are
yez?—

Here's our cook-book crawlin' with rec-
ipes

For hearty lubbers what sail the seas,—-

And none 0’ you blokes can read ’eml!

Now what am I to do with the blasted
crew

When I don't know what to feed 'em??”

Then up spoke a lad of about 14

(Who was later to become a distinquish-
dean)

And his voice was shrill but hearty,

“I can read, I can cook, I can stand de-

bukes,

And my seaweed pie is a dish (1e qur,

So I’ll cook for the whole durn party!”

And even now in the Sailors' Rest
When the old salts get together
And weave tall tales of adventurous sails
Under every sort of weather,

You can hear them sigh

As they pipe their eye

And recall the glories

Of seaweed pie;

And their joyfullest stories

Will testify

To the virtues of the spices

of Seaweed Pie!

As around the board

Each bares his head

And thanks the Lord

For his daily bread,

But thanks Dean Lord

With a heartfelt sigh

For the nautical bliss

Of SEAWEED PIE.

Y. W. Notes



Have you been attending any of the
Y. W. discussions this year? Did you
know that fifteen or more have been held
so far?

Y. has attempted to meet in small
groups ‘to which anyone is welcome and
from which many worthwhile things have
evolved. Leaders include Miss Carter,
Miss Ramsdell. Mrs, Davenport, Miss
Hund and Ann Silver.

By the way, five members of our Cab-
inet attended Cabinet Day at Wellesley
College the other day. Just ask any of
them any question about Depression.

To go back to what we started to say,
if you hear any announcements about
Y. discussion groups, consider yourself
included. Drop in and argue a few points
with us. We’d like to see you.

True happiness is to no place confined,
But yet is found in a contended mind.

It takes less cleverness to deceive others
than to keep from being deceived yourself.
—Youth's Companion.

All things come to him who waits, but
not in a cafeteria.
—Xaverianette.

Clothes don’t make the man any more.
It's the car.
—Becker Budget.



Truth is a torch that casts light through
a fog. without being able to wholly dissi-
pate.

Some people grumble because roses
have thorns, but I’m thankful
thorns have roses.
