Notes:
The Bridgewater Normal School Dramatic Club presented three productions during the 1922-23 academic year. The first presentation was "Little Lord Fauntleroy" in November, followed by a Christmas play, "Why the Chimes Rang" in December. The spring presentation of "Twelfth Night" was the season's "Big Play." An officer of the Club, and one of actors in the production of "Twelfth Night" was S. Louise Dickinson (third from left). Dickinson later gained fame as an author under her married name Louise Dickinson Rich. Rich's books include "Only Parent" (1953), "Innocence Under the Elms" (1955), "The Coast of Maine" (1956), and the World War II bestseller "We Took to the Woods" (1942), which recounted her family's Thoreau-like life in a wilderness home in northwestern Maine.
