B. I. 5. NOTES

RECESS TALKS.
MISS sANN1E BAssErr.


 Of the large number of teachers in the school comparatively few are true Bridgeport products. One of i the few Is Miss Sannie Bassett, Eng fish teacher, whose address in High school is Room sos.
 Miss Bassett was born in our own Park City. The exact date she does not give but I'm sure it was very l long ago. The elementary education 1 was secured in one of our grammar schools and her graduation from B. H. s. took place in 1904. It Is too bad that we have not college of our own in this city so that we could have Miss Bassett all for ourselves but we nest share the pleasure with Mount | HoIyoke.
 | "I chose English for my teaching career because it is such a delightful subject. I do not see how anyone can find it unpleasant. It is very 1 broad and into it is introduced prac- l tically every phase of life. You know it is called cultural subject and 1t not only developes the ability of ex- pressing ones self but also the abil- 1 ity to choose the correct and most beautiful ideals for ones self. | "One of my greatest hobbies is | fighting the High Cost of Living by l economy. I think 1t is perfectly re- l diculous for High school girl to be paying S8, s9 and $10 for waists to be worn in school when a plain serge 1 dress would serve the purpose just l as well, be just as pretty and look | just as neat. It is just as important for the daughters to fight this H. C. L. as it Is for the parents. We learn l things for life in school so why not
 learn economy to use in later life ?'' }, | teacher and a thoroughly delfgh tfuI, was a delightful recess I spent with 1 her.
