Synopsis

This book is a collection of writing and art by 30 young women poised to enter the teaching profession during the Great Depression. It includes school photos, anecdotes about their teachers and classmates, original and published literary efforts, as well as a humorous class will, prophecy and play. These prospective teachers penned this book to remember their time at North Adams Normal School. The authors took their class name, "1930", to represent the year that they would enter the profession. The work is an insightful and multi-faceted look into the lives of young women entering the teaching profession during a time of great economic and social upheaval. They grappled with the same issues that many young adults do today: balancing school and social life; pursuing their dreams while grappling with the realities of the job market; and transitioning from being a student to a professional. This book offers a unique and valuable perspective on a group of young women who were determined to make a difference in the lives of their students, despite the challenges of their time.
