Foreword
The Class of 1939 in the past four years has created a num'
ber of precedents, and the 1939 Taper staff caught the spirit and has
incorporated a number of changes in this issue of the yearbook. The size
of the book has been increased both in content and dimension. The staff
has endeavored this year to produce something new and different in style.
It is hoped that the changes will become standard for future yearbook pub'
lications.
The Taper, though primarily the Seniors' liook, has become
a virtual Who's who of college life. Between its covers is recorded the
activities, organizations, and events which are an integral part of campus
days. Human memory is a feeble thing, and the snaps, photographs, and
pictures of persons and places dear to all will not fade from its pages.
We are indebted to William Gibson and Halbert Speer for
contributing the realistic candid camera snaps of members of the Senior
Class, and to our faculty adviser, photographer, engraver, and printer for
their unceasing effort and cofoperation in compiling this editon of the Taper.
To
PROFESSOR THEODORE ALEXIS WIEL
whose counsel and cofoperation, whose friendship and
interest have guided our course through the four years
of our undergraduate days, with grateful hearts and
rnuch appreciation,
we dedicate the 1939 TAPER

Football
When "Pete" called out his pigskin toters during those balmy days of last September, no
aggregate of football material could have ever been so varied. From the hills of far away and
from the wilds of West Springfield they came, the tall, the short, the bruisers, and the weak, all
to be built into a fighting machine around a nucleus of seven veterans. They had the scrap but
lacked the experience that goes with collegiate ball. Ralston Brown and Bill Lawler, Pete's able
assistants, prayed, sweated, and said other things over these embryonic modern gladiators and when
September rolled around we went up to Amherst to play Massachusetts State. There is an "if" in
all good situations and ours was "If we could have only stopped that one elusive halffbackf'
From the competitive standpoint, the game of the season was against Worcester Tech on the day
of October 15 at Pynchon Park. Never in our annals of football has so much football permeated
the air. The ball was tossed around as though it were a basketball game. A couple of beautiful
long passes by the engineers spelt our nemesis and we went under, but-it wasn't until the last
whistle had blown that anyone could have even guessed as to the outcome, so spectacular was the
play.
All in all, we had a good seasonenot a winning -one, to be sure, -but one that augurs well for our
future, with such men as Buzz Hanna, Ropulewis, Novak, Murphy to tote the ball, and with an
ex-perienced line to open the holes "we'll carry the mail" far and wide this fall.
Watch us, Alumni!

Soccer
Under thc tutelage of that "Canny Scot," Bert Watliiig, a soccer team made up almost en'
tirely of Freshmen went out into the collegiate world to make its presence felt.
just three men who had ever seen action on the field of battle were there to answer the call
for candidates: Red Holmes and CofCaptains Boyajy and Tremblay. One thing may be said for
this group of lads, that inexperience didn't deter them a bit. They dug in and showed a kind
of cofoperation that puts new life into a coach and warms his spirit. Then, when they had given
their best on the practice field, they went out against veteran teams and showed them what a hard'
fighting team can do in the face of more experienced and veteran outfits.
We opened with Clark and met defeat, but then we turned around and took it out on Bridge'
water State the following week, and so it went, winning 2 and losing 4.
No one expects an inexperienced team to perform miracles today in the sports world because
there are too many really fine athletes in every field, and it is axiomatic that "a good big man will
lick the good little man every time." Be that such as it may, we have every right to be justly
proud of these boys who took our colors to other fields and defended them with honor and we
have every reason to believe that 1939 will be the banner year in soccer that we are anxious to see.

Basketball
Last year when such stalwarts as Harry Fitch and Nascimheni Hnished their college careers,
everyone speculated as to the capahility of any men whom we knew at the moment to fill their
shoes when it came to the polished floor. Well, we've had the proof. Our comhine somehow or
other lacked that something to put the punch across until the mid-year throught us Merola, that
flashy Tech athlete. Suddenly out of thin air we clicked and five men found themselves playing
a brand of haskethall that had to he recognized as superior hy their opponents.
No game will ever or could ever he played to match the suspense and interest that was rife
when our hoys met the fast-passing gymnasts of Springfield. Long awaited, eagerly anticipated,
this game proved to he the game of games. Basket for hasket we held the highlyfheralded sons
of lvlassasoit until in the few remaining minutes of play our iron man comhine was hroken hy the
personal foul ruling and, while the reserves played their hearts out, we could hold Springneld
off no longer and we tasted defeat by a 6052 score.
Coach Peterson is to he congratulated on his fine work this year, and so are the ucannon fodder"
group who played their hearts out to make a hetter varsity, and lastly, we take our hats oH to
Merolzt, Kuczynski, Carr, Borazna, and Hanna, who almost scalped the Springfield Indian.

Girls' Basketball
After a lapse of four years, the Girls' Basketball Team got off to a flying start this fall and
winter by meeting live opponents and coming away victorious in three contests. This successful
revival of basketball brings back memories of other girls' teams here in the past who went out of
town to defeat many strong combines and who at that time could have given a lesson or two to
some of the boys' teams.
We are particularly proud of our girl hoopsters. They're an energetic, sportfloving, hard'
working group who don't know the meaning of the word "quit," They're cofoperative and are
willing to make sacrifices for the good of the team.
Coach Frary hopes to bring some outstanding teams to this city in the future to play the pref
liniinary games to the men's game.

Playing for the first time as a recognized sport, our pucksters were continually harassed hy
warm weather, rain, and other eontrihutors to the general lack of ice, to such an extent that
over half of our schedule was cancelled.
The inahility of our team to meet Springfield during the earnival week, due to aforementioned
conditions, was really one of our major disappointments of the season.
Unquestionahly the main event of the season was the West Point game in which we took a
clruhlving from a very ine group of gentlemen. Lack of practice handicapped us no end. How'
ever, it was a game well worth watching.
A few veterans from this year and fair weather conditions ought to send this sport on its
way to lwetter and lwigger things next winter.

Girls Swimming Team
As comely -a group as ever donned a bathing suit met at regular intervals at the Springfield
College pool to increase their aquatic abilities as well as to get together to swim it out against
each other.
Many girls took advantage of the excellent opportunity to learn how to swim, while others
looked forward to improving themselves. P
Cne night during the winter our lassies were much surprised to find that many of our men
couldn't resist the urge to swim, and when they came down the pool was full of the male species
of the A. I. C. campus. Consequently, the girls didn't fare so well. Be that as it may, the women
made sure that their domain was kept intact in the future.
For a long time there has heen the hope th-at we'll have mixed swimming parties at the college
pool and hoth athletic associations are going to work toward that end this fall.
During this coming winter classes in life saving will he instituted and the women will he prof
vided with the excellent opportunity of getting their lifefsaving ratings.

of outdoor enthusiasts made trips to Franconia and Mt. Tom ski run.

Tennis
No sport deserves any more credit for stickftofitfiveness than does tennis at A. I. C. Faced
with keeping the courts in shape, doing their own rolling and carrying on under a limited budget,
the men connected with this sport have truly earned their place on our list of recognized athletics.
While this report goes to press before we can give you any of the linefups for the spring, we
do know that in addition to the stalwarts of last year we have a valuable addition in Phil Sweeney,
who has a very high ranking in the City Tennis League, and many other lads, whose ability cannot
be questioned, will be on the clay courts doing their bit for our college.
The record of this sport in past years has been very commendable and we look to the team to
add to the excellent record of their predecessors.

Archery
Here they are, lads! Here are the modern Dianas that menace all those daring to cross the
wilds behind Gym Hall. But in all justice, it isn't really as had as it sounds, Most of these girls
can twang a bow string that will send an arrow right to its mark and the gratifying results of these
girls' efforts has led Coach Frary to believe that a few matches may he arranged with the archery
teams of other colleges during this coming fall season.
Many of these girls never knew one end of a how from another 'hefore coming to A. I. C., hut
constant practice has shown results that are almost uncanny- -not that they're at the Williani
Tell stage of perfection, hut they do show genuine promise of carrying the colors of our school to
other fields.

For a period of three or four years now we have been the possessor of one of the finest riding
clubs of which any institution can boast. Riding at least twice a week at the Wilhrahani Riding
Academy, many of these girls have become exceedingly proficient riders.
With the city furnishing us with many riding trails and hridle paths through beautiful woods of
South and North Branch and Willwraham, moonlight rides have become increasingly popular in
addition to the afternoon canters.
We hardly feel that our women are ready for the gruelling competition which is evidenced
in intercollegiate horse shows, hut no group ever got any more genuine fun and pleasure than these
horsewomen are now enjoying.

Crew
Entering into the field of varsity competition, our crew for the first time cut a wide swath in
the opinions of some of its doubters to revive college rowing on the Connecticut River by beat'
ing Williams College. They lost to Dartmouth the following week and then in a close race in New
York they lost to Manhattan by threefquarters of a length, but evened the score with Dartmouth
by beating them by six feet.
This year, in spite of its handicaps and hardships, the crew has steadily forged ahead to take
its place among the small college intercollegiate rowing circles and is looked upon as a crew of an
unknown quantity by everyone whom they meet.
The crew had the distinction of being the Hrst sport of A. I. C. to really make a long trip
for the sake of competitive purposes when our boys traveled to Winter Park, Florida, to race
Washington and Lee and also Rollins.
As this year book went to press, the schedule for the 1939 season read as follows:
April 6 Washington and Lee at Winter Park, Florida.
8 Rollins College at Winter Park, Florida.
11 Richmond University at Richmond, Virginia.
29 Williams College at Williams.

Baseball
For years Coach Peterson has had victory snatched out of his open arms because he didn't
have the reserve pitchers that he needed. When it came to our turn at the bat, our "Sultans of swat"
knocked the hide right off the ole apple and they could do the running necessary to bring in the
counters.
That being as it may, we still were out of luck when it came to relief pitching. Charlie Carroll,
who did yeoman work last year, was pitched out. Many other aspiring tossers were "batted out,"
and so it went.
This year we predict fand we hope we won't have to eat the print off this page in retributionj
that our team will whistle the tune for our opponents to dance by. With Carroll, Novak, and
two or three other relatively unknowns in the box and a wealth of material in the field for reserves,
we like to believe fand do!j that we'll have a winner this year.
Some of these boys have an eye for the ball that is a joy to behold. They can see it coming,
meet it, and then beat it to the Hrst sack, which ought to be the answer to a lot of praying we've
been doing for the past year.

Speaking of unorganized sports that have gathered the proverbial snow as they rolled, we
have one here that might assume an unexpected proportion and develop into an organized club
which will become as popular as any other athletic organization on campus.
We can attribute the start of this club to the women of D. A. R. who made many trips to the
Y.W.C.A. in order to become proficient enough to challenge the Owen Street Hall men, and when
they did, they had the contest pretty well sewed up.
The interest shown in particular by Betty Patten has been responsible in developing this group
as far as they have gone, and it is the fond hope of many that teams will be organized during this
coming season which will provide another outlet for energy during the cold winter nights other
than "hitting the books."
Sailing Club
On October 3, 1937, A. I. C. had a new arrival in the way of sports, when those two stellar
seamen, Joseph Donoghue and Russ Cameron, incorporated the first Sailing Club. Handicapped
though they were because of the lack of material, these boys left no stone unturned to put this new
brain child on a firm footing. Such wellfknown sailors as Wally Krussel, Charlie Miller, Gifford,
Frank Miga, Gordon Hale, and Art Griswold aided in carrying out a program in competition with
crews from all over the East and Canada. Their first race, the International Dingy Regatta in
Boston on October 22, found our boys being barely nosed out in t-he finals of the second class
division. Other regattas were held at Brown, Dartmouth, and the Coast Guard Academy--fwhere,
by the way, Bert Skelly and Ruth jergerson created a mild sensation by showing up to the start'
ing time as members of the crew.
This year a turnout of twentyfsix new men and the very needed addition of two boats ought
to put Commodore Donoghue into the proper frame of mind to bring home the wellfknown "bacon"
or whatever it is that "they who go down to the sea in ships" bring home.
The schedule for this year at the time of our going to press was:
October 29, 1938 ................................................................ Boston Dingy Regatta
April 22 and 23, 1939 ........ ....... B rown University Regatta
May 12 and 13, 1939 .................................................. Boston Invitation Regatta

A11 This Mit Himmel Auch?
One day when things were a trifle dull in heaven, the Great One decided a little excitement would do
Him and the angels a world of good. Looking through His World Book for an exciting name, He found
a strange notation. It was an entire page, on which were listed about sixtyffive names, and beside which
Gabriel had noted, "Consider these together, Lord."
"That's queer," mused the Great One, and sent for Gabriel for an explanation.
"Well, you see, Lord," said Gabriel when he arrived, "that is the list of the members of the Class
of 1939 of American International College. I took the liberty," here he hesitated, "of placing them together,
for here it is fifty years since they left their college, a.nd not one of them," and his honest, an'gel's beard
quivered in excitement, "not one of them who graduated that day in June, 1939, has died yet."
"Oh, that's bad, very bad," answered the Great One. "You know, sometimes I almost believe we
should amend that law about the good dying young. There seem to be more exceptions of late than anything
else." And He plaintively began to plait His beard.
After dismissing Gabriel, the Great One pondered the sad case of the Class of 1939 for some time.
Then, remembering that heaven was a little dull just now, He decided to kill two birds with one stone, or
pen, to be exact.
"I'll ask them up here. I'll ask them up for a getftogetherf'
His excitement mounted as the plan gathered shape. He reached for His quill, golden ink, and parchf
ment, and was soon busy composing the letters.
"I'll trust them to no one but myself," He thought as He chewed the end of His quill. "I want this
done right. It's time they stopped gadding about the earth like youngsters. Downright foolish at their age.
I'll settle this for once and for all."
So one wintry morning when sixtyfodd former members of the Class of 1939 walked to their mail'
boxes-or limped, or wheelfchaired, or tottered, or went to General Deliveryfthey discovered the following,
written on parchment in letters of gold:
Dear A.I.C. graduate of 1939:
The time has come. You can no longer put this off. I am having a little reunion of the members of
your class and request your presence. I simply won't take no for an answer. Write me telling me how soon
you can get here, and all about what you've been doing for the past few years. I shall expect to hear
from you about the reunion, for how can you miss it-how can you?
THE GREAT ONE.
Well, little did the Great One imagine what an uproar His simple letter caused. For the next few
weeks many were the consultations of those graduates living in cities near one another, many were the .hurried
references to Public Libraries, and many were the sheets of paper used in composing answers. F-or shame'
ful as it appears, fifty years away from their seat of higher learning had dulled certain minds, and there
was great doubt as to the origin of the letter, and the correct way to answer it.
Finally, however, letters began to pour into heaven. Many were not addressed to heaven, but had
been forwarded by the angels of various countries.
"Heaven is certainly a different place,', chuckled the Great One as He saw the morning batch of earth
letters. "Why, I haven't heard the angels sing so happily in months, and only yesterday the Dark One
next door invited me over for tea. Now let's see, I wonder what is in the mail today."
Since the last of the letters had just arrived that morning, Gabriel had placed them in alphabetical
order with the others for the Great One to look over all together. Adjusting His spectacles, He began:
Dear Great One fthe first one readj:
Was so pleased to hear from you, and we shall be delighted to pay you a visit. I can't say when
we shall be able to get away as the publishing business is booming right now. As you know, after working
in Springfield for some years following graduation, I entered a New York publishing firm, and have since
been busy climbing the ladder of success. I have almost reached the top, and am now spending every
spare moment writing my memoirs. I am quite thin from carrying the manuscripts around with me, so
we may be seeing you sooner than I expect.

Dear Great One:
I, Martin Arslanian, am writing for myself and also for the other partners of the BlofUp Chem. Co.,
Marion Carter, Viateur Rousseau, Philip Walsh, Roland Tessier, and Louise Burpo. As you are aware,
we have a flourishing business Qin fact, in the early days, purely unintentionally, we sent you a number of
guestsj and doubt if we can be spared at the present. If you are willing to have us bring the business with
us, just let us know and we'll be up with our test tubes in no time. We are accustomed to moving in a
hurry, due to our unfortunate luck in always picking neighbors with particularly sensitive noses.
Our business was started by accident when I, Martin, Viateur, and Marion discovered a gas of great
value to the world. Since this was a gas which in time of war rendered entire armies helpless from laughter,
we did not hesitate to produce it at full speed, and it was used in every war. When war became outlawed
fdue, we irmly believe, to our invention's making it no longer practicablej we sought for a new means of
making a living, and hit on our present successful method of extracting perfume from leaves of plants.
Marion, who had some years before left the company to be married, now returned to give it her partftime
attention.
It was at this time also that we engaged the services of Roland Tessier. Like us, his work in the
surgery of soldiers had been greatly cut down due to the outlawry of war. We consider ourselves fortunate
indeed to have around a man of his administrative ability the keeps our books, and has entire charge of
personnelj. And it is often very convenient to have a doctor when one of those laboratory accidents which
will happen suddenly does happen. I almost forgot to mention, when we give our annual employee enter'
tainment, he is always the star of the show.
A few years ago we engaged Louise Burpo and Philip Walsh. They each hold double positions with
the company. Louise is in charge of women's sales, and we have found Philip invaluable in collecting bills.
fWe call him Bulldog Walsh-not to his face, of course., In their spare time, both are studying an exotic
new perfume to be obtained from the carrot plant. Both Philip and Louise had excellent teaching positions
before they came with us, but they had tired of them, and wanted to work with old friends. As they put
it, "I guew it's just the gypsy in us."
So you see, Great One, we feel a responsibility to our business, and unless we take it with us, shall
have to forego the pleasure of a stay with you. I am enclosing some samples of our new perfumes which I
thought your angels might enjoy. Ever your obedient servant,
MARTIN ARSLANIAN.
P.S. I deliberately omitted mention of our President and guiding spirit, Emerson Fitzgerald. But I cannot
hide anything from you, Great Cne, therefore I feel duty bound to tell you that after forty-five years of
faithful service to our cause, Mr. --I cannot bear to mention his name-deserted us to become a physicist,
and is now smashing atoms somewhere in California.
In addition, after conferring with my partners, I have decided that you should know that your letter
will probably never reach Robert Kirkland. Until ten years ago he was our company lawyer, and was all
that a company could ask--we never lost a. suit. But in 1979 we discovered that all his cases with our com'
pany had been settled over the bridge table with his lawyer cronies fit had been pingfpong until that incipient
paunch began to appearj. When we chided him, in a kind but very firm manner, he burst into tears-and
left the country. We understand he is in Greenland, skiing and writing children's books, which his brother'
inflaw, Willis Allen, publishes. He allows no mail to be sent him, except the weekly funnies.
Y'r ob'd'nt s'r'v'nt, M. ARSLANIAN.

Dear Mr. Great One:
Robert Bidwell, Sally Bielanski, and I received your letter, but will not be able to attend until the
regular business slack sometime in the summer. Our Happy Hearts' Club in New York keeps us busy
except for a few short months in the summer.
About ten years ago I came North for a visit after the death of my husband. I met Sally and Robert by
accidentg they were both working for a large Settlement House, Sally doing social work, and Robert in the
office. We decided there were too few clubs where people on the wintry side of life could meet and enjoy
themselves. We knew the way to men's hearts was through their stomachs, and that the women's hearts
couldn't be far away, so we started the Happy Hearts' Club, which caters to persons over Hfty, and gets
them acquainted over my special Southern fried chicken dinners.

From the first we offered all kinds of pleasant entertainment. An old friend of ours, Helen Hayes,
was in charge of the floor show. But one night when she had been working with us for about a year, a
distinguished young man of about fifty walked in and watched her dance with a great deal of interest. For
weeks he paid her ardent suit, so much so that it affected her nightly polka. Then, just as suddenly as he
had walked into her life, he walked out. She left our club, an embittered woman. We heard that she is
running a school somewhere. We pity the pupils. The man was Edward Shanley, head of the world famous
Chinese munitions company, and on a visit to the Sta-tes from his home in China. Because of this unforf
tunate experience we have put the entertainment in charge of Guy Buonomo, who had formerly helped
Robert Bidwell with the books. We Hnd a man can deal with such incidents with much 'less emotion.
Sally takes charge of the members of the club, and sees that they become acquainted, and that their
conduct is at all times befitting ladies and gentlemen. We pride ourselves that we have never needed a
bouncer. I have charge of the running of the club, supervise all meals, and see that the guests are happy
and wellffed. Needless to say, our club fills a dehnite need, it is the only one in New York which furnishes
earphones at every table.
. It may be possible for us to take turns remaining at the club, and for the rest to come to your reunion
on time. Ishall bring a good supply of my chickens, for I am sure the ones in heaven must be pretty
ethereal fare. Would you care for us to bring some of our entertainers? ANNA BIRNIE.
Dear Mr. Roosevelt:
My pals and I think it is a dirty trick for you to rub in the fact that we shall never be able to visit
heaven. You know very well there has been a special suite reserved for us for several years, next door
to your house, in that place mn by the Dark One. We don't know which is worse, to stay here and be
hounded by creditors, or to shuffle off and join the Dark One. We graduated from A.I.C. as good account'
ants, Ed Moore and I-and then your false prosperity came along, and with it temptation, in the persons of
Donald Coogan, Leo Medwin, Lillian Siegel, and Cliff Wheeler. They had a scheme for selling shares in
a "perfectly legitimate" afbabyflionfinfeveryfhome business. Lured by your promises of good times, we spent
our profits before we received them. Twenty years ago this May the company busted. We come out in
May. We have been corresponding with one another, and have decided to remain on the straight and
narrow. We intend to organize a quiet little African platinum corporation. We forgive you, but will never
forget that you were the cause of our being shut out of our own class reunion. So there!

Dear Great One:
On behalf of Emanuel Slotnick and myself, may I regretfully decline your kind invitation? We feel
we have traveled far since college days and are not the type to mix with angels. If, however, you know
of some place near you where we might board, we may come and watch the rest of you, from next door, for
example.
Shortly after our graduation, Great One, Manny and I received a phenomenal offer to become economics
and publicity directors, respectively, of Hitolini's totalitarian state. We worked for him for years, and
permitted unethical methods to be practiced, because we thought it was for the good of the country.
Imagine our heartbreak when, a few years ago, we were released Cand given the order of the Golden
Snakej to make room for young blood. Now the two of us are running a combined grocery store and
delicatessen, and are slowly regaining selffrespect-I in artistic window decorations, and Manny in inspired
weekly circulars.

Dear Great One:
Was surprised but pleased to hear from you. I should like to attend your reunion. Several A.I.C.
friends of mine received their invitations before I did, I was beginning to wonder if I would get one. I tried
a number of jobs after I graduated, and finally joined the Texas Oil Company in New York, where I have
been connected for many years. My friends swear I'd have been Mayor of Springfield if I had stayed there.
I swear I'll be Mayor of New York if I have enough time. The Texas Oil Company swears I am spending
too much time away from my work. I may see you very soon. FREDERICK CONNOR.

Dear Great One:
I am afraid I shall have to put off your reunion until some summer vacation, as I am busy throughout
the year teaching in the Slowe Girls' School. A number of other A.I.C. graduates also teach here-
Dorothy Garland, who like myself teaches languages, Clara Swan, who has charge of gymnastics falthough
for the past fifteen years these have consisted chiefly of the less strenuous dumbfbell exercisesj, Malcolm
Fobes, who heads the Biology Department this coming from a government Ani-mal Conservation post-when
the animals were sufficiently conserved-to be the Hrst male teacher at the school, created a storm of discussion,
but in the twenty years he has been here, he has done his work well, with never a breath of scandaljg Helen
Burt and Grace Kellogg, both of whom teach English, although their husbands left them independentg B.
Elizabeth Krusell, who conducts the Secretarial Department, and chaperones the girls during their Florida
vacation, which the school alternates yearly with the European trip conducted by Miss Garland: and Ina
Melenek, who teaches Sociology two days a week Qshe spends weekfends with her husband, and the other
two days in her pet shop, where she is famous for her vocallyftrained canariesj.
I have had three sabbatical years coming to me for some time, Great One, but I am timid about asking
for them. The headmistress, Madame Helene Hayes, is as strict with her staff as with the pupils, and,
frankly, often makes life very difficult. She 'feels very deeply the great responsibility of the young lives
entrusted to her care, but at times is too harsh. Why, she won'-t even allow the girls to have a Girl Scout
Troop. And that is why, Great One, I do not know when I shall be able to attend your reunion. Perhaps
if you gave Madame a special invitation, she would declare a holiday and we could all come.
Hopefully yours,

Water being poison, and al-l bathing a form of suicide. At that time we hired Richard Culver, for we found
the need of a keen mathematical brain in counting beyond the tenth million. Now, however, business is
very slow. That invention of a soapstone nosefguard to be worn in all waking hours fwhile embarrassing

Dear Great One:
I should like to attend your reunion, and my wife would like to know if she may come, too fshe graduf
ated the year afte-r I didj. My time is my own as I retired from active business eight years ago. As you
know, I spent several years after graduation in the dental laboratory, then returned to A.I.C. to teach, and
finally settled on a small farm raising animals scientifically for laboratory use. I was partially financed in
this venture by Peggy Ryan, who had won a slogan contest and was looking for a good investment. In
the jargon of the lab animals themselves, she more than doubled her money in the first few days. At
present my wife and I are living on the farm, but raise nothing but chickens for our own consumption. I
also look after the place next door, which belongs to G. Wellington Meacham, the personal secretary of
the international financier, Taylor QTexj Hill. Mr. Hill's New England ranch is not far from here, but
neither he nor his secretary are in their homes more than a few 'months of the year. G. Wellington, often
called the smile in front of the brains of high finance, wrote me that he and Mr. Hill will probably fly up to
the reunion sometime after their spring meetings in Geneva. Since it is now time to feed the chickens, I
shall close, thanking you again for your invitation.

Dear Mr. Hitler:
I suppose you wonder how I found you out-I knew you immediately from your letter, for y-ou are
the only person who would call himself a great one. Your reunion will no doubt be amusing, but unforf
tunately I cannot attend. My services are greatly needed here in the United States. There has been
,dangerous talk, you know, of "isms," and Wilfred Bourque and myself are doubling our lecture itinerary
in order to reach more people with our message, which we call "Workers, Unite." As you know, I was all
set for a diplomatic career, but muffed it by speaking my -mind to the premier of a very minor nation. I
have always regretted .that it was such a small nation which cost me my career. After that I joined
up with Bourque in his lecture tours, and we get along very well, with my wholesale novelty business as a side
line. If our spring schedule is not too heavy, Mr. Hitler, perhaps we may find time to drop in, but I doubt it.

Dear Great One:
Miriam Russell and I are very eager to come to heaven, and would like to know if you could use
the services of our Casework bureau? We specialize in statistics of people over sixty, and do not employ
workers under that age, No doubt you have many angels in heaven who have been there so long that
you have forgotten them. In a short time our eflicient bureau could have the vital-or should I say
spiritualfffacts about all of them. Miriam and I visit the persons to become statistics, Anne Penn statistizes
them in attractive graphs, Howard French applies their problems to world economic causative conditions,
and Marion Bolger and Virginia Rosever are in charge of the ofhce, which draws up the casefhistories.
Anne's hand is somewhat shaky, and Marion and Virginia are losing speed at the rate of ten typing words
a day, but then Miriam and I are not so spry as we were-so we all get along very well. I speak for all
of us in saying that we should like to study angels for a change. The people we study here on earth are
becoming pretty tiresome. They are all too eager to work, and such an attitude is very confusing to us
casefworkers who are trying to see that they get relief. JANICE KNAPP.

With my colleagues, I am cofowner of a trailer which brings painless education to children all over

pleasure and have a little fun fwe left our husbands in the care of friendsj. So Clara Ross, Barbara
Bassett, and I teach country children every summ:r f is Mathematics, Latin, and English respectively.
Our special method, which all children laugh and joke happily about, is to sing their lessons to them.
It is true that sometimes they do not learn much, but they learn it in a happy atmosphere, and that is
what counts. Until last summer we had Max Cannom with us, to drive for us and keep our books.
But last August he met a widow with two thousand head of cattle, so he took our blessing and stayed
behind when we left. Said he couldn't get the wedding bells out of his ears. Uhfhuh! Now we drive
ourselves, and will prob-ably drive up to the reunion this summer. Are there any little angels in the
outlying districts of heaven who would appreciate an education by the singfsing method?

start a little business. We now have a small knitting shop, and make enough to take us to Florida every
winter. We made only a bare living until three years ago, when we hit on the idea of taking orders for
knitted muiflers. We got in touch with members of the club run by Anna Birnie and her partners, and
now regularly supply the customers with mufIlers. They say the club is a little draughty, and the scarves
keep them from catching cold. So many of the members wear them that one of the dances of the evening

business is most interesting, and takes me to all parts of the globe. I spoke of the next two expeditions
above, which I shall undertake for the Mockingbird Manufacturers, and the AntifBlubber Society of
America, respectively. In Hawaii, my duty will be to convince the islanders that Mockingbird Mother'
Hubbards are the garments they want, and Nature intended them to wear. And in Alaska, Ishall conduct
an impressive campaign to make the natives use something other than whale bluhber in their lamps. My
motto will be, "It's the whales' blubbers now, but whose will be next?" In both these expeditions my
theme of campaign is first energy, and then brakes. I do very well. I shall expect to hear from you soon.

We made a good deal of money on this, for though the customers ordered fullfcourse dinners, they were
invariably asleep after the salad-due to Edward's soothing reading. Annie has complete charge of the
food for parts other than the mind, while I am the advance agent, and generally travel on ahead. Our

THE Tfflljlillf 1939
History of the Class of 1939
Graduation! The culmination of our four successful years at the American International College. We
recall with mixed emotions the ups and downs, the laughs and disappointments in happy reminiscence of
our sojourn at the College on the Hill.
lt does not take much thought to remember the first of our college days. It seems but yesterday that
Dr. Cobb gave us his dissertation on the squeaky arm, and we danced to the strains of the 'LTiger Rag" in
the D. A. R. parlor at our Freshman Reception.
By this time we considered ourselves a necessary part of the college, but it did not take long for our
selffassuredness to change to meekness as rumors of initiation reached our ears. Who can forget the rolled'
up pants . . . the buckets of water . . . the trek to the City Hall . . . Tessier's moustache . . . trips to Water
Shops Pond? But we survived the ordeals of this week and emerged as fullffledged college students.
After recovering from the scare of our Hrst mid-year exams, we organized our class with the help of
Paul Lyman, President of the Student Council. The results of our class election were Ted Connors as
President, Babe Meacham as VicefPresident, Ricky Daniels as Secretary, and Betty Krusell as Treasurer.
Harry Daum was elected to be our Memberfatflsarge.
March found three of our members playing important roles in Pygmalion and Galatea, the major draf
matic production of the college year, under the direction of Mr. Charles Woodbury, Ginny Oliver, Polly
Head, and Ed Pomeroy ably contributed to the success of the play.
With this successful year behind us, we were fully launched on our college career.
The end of summer vacation found us as Sophomores eager to assure the Frosh ofa "warm" welcome.
Ted Connor, Ed Pomeroy, and Roland Tessier certainly made life miserable for their victims!
The popularity of Ted Connor, Ricky Daniels, and Babe Meacham placed them again in their respec'
tive offices. Don Egan was elected Treasurer and Peg Ryan, MemberfatfLarge.
We aren't likely to forget the thrill of our first football game under lights. Too bad New Britain
had to beat us!
The traditional Sophomore amateur night was put on with the true spirit of our class and was declared
one of the best ever.
In December our class, in conjunction with Springfield College, was making plans for a winter carnival.
Because of the lack of snow and ice, the activities started at the Coliseum and came to a successful end
with the Coronation Ball presided over by Queen Lois Wightman and King Roy Nuttall.
Once again our class was represented in college theatricals. The Dev:'l's Host claimed three of our
members, Roland Tessier as the realistic Devil, Donald Egan, and Willis Allen.
A. I. C.'s curriculum branched out with the introduction of the School of Public Affairs under the
supervision of Professor Wiel.
Our class, thinking that Professor Wiel did not have enough to do, unanimously elected him to act
as our class adviser-and thankful we all are for his words of wisdom.
In the spring of the year the flooded waters of the Connecticut kept many of us from classes and
put others to work caring for the flood refugees.
Recovering from the flood, our attention was turned to matters at home. Because of the complexity
of the prevailing Student Government, it was thought wise during our Sophomore year to organize an entire
new form of government. With this in mind, the present Student Faculty Council was instituted with
Roland Tessier and Edward Pomeroy representing our class.
We now faced our allfimportant Junior year.
Gnce again our class voted for the officers of the preceding year with the exception of the Secretary, to
which office Polly Head was elected.
The campus was thrilled with the success of our football team. CofCaptains Fitch and Siniscalchi led
the team to a position of seventh place in the smaller colleges of New England.

As a moneyfraising affair the Class of '39 sponsored a dance at the Hotel Kimball with Tiny Tim's
Orchestra furnishing the music. We can remember this only as a social success!
Our college welcomed with open arms the addition of Wright House in the spring of our third year.
The need for just such a recreation center had long been felt.
The success of the crew, in its second year of competition, provided campus talk for several weeks. We
like to think that our own Don Scotland as coxswain and Howard French as spare man had much to do
with its success.
In thinking of our junior year we invariably remember the success of our junior Week from May 15
to 21, and such times as Mountain Day under the supervision of Max Cannom, Open House Day planned
by Janice Knapp, and the annual Walter Rice Prize Debate in charge of Milton Fromer.
But best of all was our own junior Prom directed by Willis Allen, with the help of Betty Krusell, Ralph
Carboni, Catherine Vogler, Polly Head, and Ed Pomeroy. In spite of the chilly weather, the Holyoke Canoe
Club proved to be an excellent place to dance to the music of Ken Reeve's Orchestra.
The fall of '58 saw us back on campus posing as dignified Seniors already planning activities for what
promised to be our most exciting year.
Class election found the former leaders reelected. Donald Scotland was now our new MemberfatfLarge.
The hurricane proved to be a great loss to the college. An irreparable loss was the death of our friend,
Wallace Krusell, the President of the Class of '38 and a prominent alumnus.
The loss of several trees necessitated the raising of funds to replace the trees, and the campaign started
off with a Tree Tag Day.
Two new Greek letter societies found their way on our campus during this year. Alpha Iota Gamma
Sorority and Phi Delta Mu Fraternity took their place among active campus organizations.
The social season was ushered in with the Senior Prom at the Hotel Kimball, with the renowned
Barbary Coast Orchestra unbending the jitterfbugs.
Proud we were of C. Wellington Meacham, whose brilliant work on the gridiron and the basketball
court did much to raise the position of A. I. C. in the Held of sports.
And Emerson Fitzgerald, whose conscientious and brilliant scholastic work earned for him maximum
honors at the top of our class.
Graduation loomed nearer.
Our days were filled with plans of rings, caps, gowns, graduation.
Thus with Class Day and Commencement activities, the curtain falls upon our college careers, and we
look forward to the Class of 1939 to carry forth to honor the name and traditions of A. I. C.
PAULINE E. HEAD and EDWARD Porvnaaov.

Class Will
We, the one and only Class of 1939 of the American International College, Springheld, Massachusetts,
considering ourselves in full possession of all our faculties, wits, and other paraphernalia, do hereby publish
our First and Last YVill and Testament.
Having paid in full our just debts to all those creditors who have been able to catch up with us, we
do bequeath the rest of our vast estate as follows:
First: We name as our executors the students of the School of Public Affairs. It will be good experif
ence for them.
Second: To Dr. McCown we bequeath our sincere appreciation for all that he has done for us during
our four years at A. I. C. Through him our college life has been made much more easy and
enjoyable than it would have been otherwise.
To our advisers, and to all of those busy faculty members who have devoted their time and
energy to helping us, we leave our deepest gratitude.
Third: To the school we leave little now because of our limited financial resources, but we promise that
when we make our first million we shall take steps toward landscaping the grounds, realizing that
mythical gym, and building a few new dorms, labs, and recitation halls.
In all seriousness, we leave A. I. C. with regret, for we feel that it is one of the best colleges
there is, and we have enjoyed working and playing here for the past four years.
Fourth: To the Junior Class we leave the inestimable honor of being called the Senior Class. This is
truly an appellation well worth three years of hard work.
We leave them, with no malice, the same worries which we experienced about graduat'
ing, and we hope that they will come out on top. We have found, by the way, that these are
the worries which are responsible for the universal dignity of Seniors.
Lastly, we leave them the privilege of making all their Commencement arrangements. It
will be a lot of work, but it will also be a lot of fun.
Having been so generous to the Class of 1940, we recommend that they be as unselfish as
we were, and pass these bequests on to the Class of 1941 next june.
We should also like to leave the following specific possessions of some of our members:
Willis Allen leaves his journalistic ability to the editor of next year's Taper who, no doubt,
will need it.
Cuy Buonomo leaves to next year's ticket committees all the headaches he has suffered, or
new ones just like them.
Ted Connor leaves his ability to manage the annual Ice Carnival to the chairman of next
year's committee.
Norma Crehore, with the rest of those third floor Seniors, leaves Lee Hall, but does not leave
that menagerie which she has made famous.
Donald Egan leaves his heart behind him-aa strange bequest for a future doctor to make.
Emerson Fitzgerald, after much persuasion, leaves his bashfulness and blushes to be divided
among the foremost campus ladyfkillers.
Milton Fromer leaves his ability to argue to the A, I. C. Debating Team: they've been using
it anyway.
Helen Hayes leaves her ability to heckle the faculty to any junior who wants it. Don't rush,
Juniors.
Pauline Head we take with us. She is too valuable a class secretary to be left behind.
Taylor Hill leaves his capacity to be all over the state at one time to any undergraduate enter-
prising enough to do what he did.
Betty Krusell leaves her telephone-we hope. It certainly has been useful.

19 .sp Tiff Tal PBR
G. Wellington lvieacham takes his foothall technique with him, along with his many other
talents. It's a tough break for the school.
Ann Penn leaves her seat in the O. K. to whoever gets there first.
Edward Pomeroy leaves his position as Mr. Wiel's rightfhand man to some worthy student
of Puhlie Affairs.
Shirley Pond, with Elaine Cordes and Anne Tinti, leaves for a much hivifer venture, matri'
mony. Good luck, girls.
bb
Poppy Raissi leaves her record as a faithful attendant at class meeting to all those who need
it for an example. From some of the sputtering we hear, we gather that there will he plenty of
use for it.
Peggy Ryan leaves the opportunity to do as much for the Yellow jacket as she did to anyone
capahle of holding her position.
Virginia Rosever leaves her flair for wearing clothes to all wouldfhe models.
Vie Rousseau leaves the lah at last. "Parting is such sweet sorrow."
Manny Slotnick leaves his hent for puhlicity to any hudding young reporter with a nose for
IICWS.
Roland Tessier leaves a place which will he hard to fill hecause of his varied capaihilities and
activities.
Kay Vogler leaves her famous husiness ahility to the new husiness managers of the Yellow
jacket and Taper.
Phil Walsh leaves his harem in Wright Hall. No douht someone will
he ahle to use it.
Thus we suhmit our First and Last Will and Testament on this 12th day of june, Nineteen Hundred
ind ThirtyfNine,
Signed, CLAss or 1939.
We, the undersigned, in the presence of many influential witnesses, do herehy suhserihe our names as
attesting witnesses:

Green Pastures
With apologies to MARC CONNELLY
Scene-A flowery pasture.
Time-A summer day,
Characters-
Chester-a sturdy boy with neatly smoothed hair.
Dallas, Jr.-a sturdy boy with a shock of unruly hair.
Garrettfa sturdy boy.
Albafa reserved, frankflooking girl.
Helen-Jher good friend.
Teddy--a very masterful boy.
Lutherfan industrious boy, but absentfminded.
Stuartga cheerful lad with a parable for every occasion.
Ida-a very shy little girl.
Annah and Oliveggood girls on the whole, but little chatterboxes.
Howardva clever little boy whose great love is his politicalfminded
pony, Oscar.
Charlie-a little boy whose great love is his pair of kittens, Dianne and
Sylvanne.
As the scene opens, several of the characters are in the pasture in various attitudes of abandon.
Others are seen approaching in the distance.
Charlie-who is lying on his stomach gazing dreamily at an ant crawling up his hand. "Did
you ever stop to consider that since an ant is an arthropod, and a lobster also, they are brother and
sister?"
Howardfwho is lying on this back gazing dreamily at the sky. "But on the contrary! Now
to quote Pavlovgbut I don't think I shall. In the first place it would mean too much mental
labor, and in the second place, too much physical energy." He continues to gaze, more dreamily if
anything.
just then Helen, who has been sitting quietly nearby, and who was just about to utter an obser'
vation concerning English subjunctives, looks up and sees Stuart skipping up with a beam on his
face fnot his eyej. She rises and sidles toward him, not unnoticed, however, by-
Alba-who quickly nudges Annah, who up till now has been engaged in trying to outscold
a bluefjay in a nearby tree. They rise and run to meet Stuart.
Annah, Alba, and Helen-"Come, Stuart, don't you want to sit under the tree," with a tactful
glance at his somewhat rosy features, "so you won't get a nasty burn?"
Stuart-smiling, very impartially. "Thank you, girls. You know I was just down by the
brook, thinking what a wonderful symphony of God this world is. Why, I-"
Olive-who has been watching this performance, now flounces off to meet Ida, muttering to
herself, "Those silly children, all standing under the tree, literally wearing out the grass. And then
what will become of the ants? That's what I'd like to know." She joins arms with-
Ida-who, for some reason, is walking very slowly and frequently looking back. The answer
is not long in comingfit is Teddy. As he catches up with the girls, Ida blushes, looks down,
and finally manages to say sweetly, "Hello, Teddy."
Teddyfthrusts his jaw to an incredibly tough angle. But his eyes are gentle as he replies,
'LHello, kid. See you have some new shoes."
Ida4happily. "Yes, aren't they beautiful? They're real patent leather." And she divides her
beatific gaze between them and him.

Chester, Dallas, and Garrett are seen approaching, marching three abreast. Since they have
all long been considered natural leaders by the gang, and themselves, they avoid hard feelings by
walking thus, when together. Teddy used to be one of them, but recently has displayed a ten'
dency to wander in Ida's direction, due no doubt to its being summer, which, next to spring, is very
nice, as everyone knows.
Luther-shuffling along behind the utriumphal three." He is shuffling partly because he forgot
to tie his shoelaces, and partly because he is occupied in making what he calls a motion sketch of
the group ahead of him. When they stop he, by mistake, walks on into them, tearing his sketch.
For a moment his lower lip juts out ominously, but is soon restored to its normal position as he
reflects that such an experiment wouldn't have been salable anyway.
Chester-"Well, kids, I guess we're all here. What shall we do today? I move that we go
around the group and have each one suggest what he'd like to play. I suggest we play War and
Peace. We'll take sides. Peace will kill off all of War's men, and will reign forever."
Garrett-interrupts eagerly with, "Yes, then we could celebrate Peace's reign by all coming to
life again and indulging in a brief devotional service, with a few highly interesting hymns." He
rubs his hands in happy expectation.
Teddy-L'Oh, that's sissy. Let's play Soldiers." And he begins to pace up and down so
militantly that he causesi
Annah and Olivepto giggle in unison, 'lOh, Teddy, you look just like Mussolini."
Teddy-at this suibsides, since he does not admire Mussolini. So he turns to Ida inquiringly.
Ida-pauses momentarily in rubbing an imaginary spot from her left shoe, to say, "Well, if
you'd all like to, we could play house. I'd be the mother, Teddy'd be the father, and, let me see,
Stuart could be the baby brother."
Charlie-disgruntled because up till now he has always been chosen as the baby brother. "Bef
ing very frank with you all, that's a girl's game. I move that we all produce a drama, a worthfwhile
drama-flike Macbeth." He warms up to his subject. "Now, Annah, you could be Lady Macbeth,
you scream well, Chester will be Banquo, Dallas can be the blasted heath, the three witches will
be Ida, Alba, and Helen, Olive will do nicely for alarums and excursions-that will make a lot of
noise, and"-with a deprecating coughf"I'll be Macbeth."
At this announcement there are various expressions of disapproval. Ida bursts into tears,
and Olive, who has been sitting with a satisfied smile on her face, chokes angrily, sensing a double
meaning.
Chester-speaking for the group. "No, Charlie, I don't think we want to play that. What
do you say, Howard?"
Howardmwho has reflectively been chewing grass, a habit acquired from Oscar, answers
slowly, L'Well, there ought to be some game which would be fun, but I don't seem to have the
energy to think of it right now." He adds apologetically, "Of course, we could always discuss
Pavlovf'
Annah-who is evidently anxious to return to the Macbeth theme, "Well, since 'Charlie is
so keen on Macbeth, and since Stuart likes music so, perhaps we could compromise by rendering
Beethoven's Ninth-the chorus, I mean. Of course, the direction would naturally fall to Stuart."
There is immediate and noisy bickering among Garrett, who refers to "my many years of
service in that capacity," Chester, who quotes his experience at the Boy Scout Camp "Happy
Hours," and Teddy, who loudly states that directing a chorus is very similar to leading army
mules to water. Luther, meanwhile, is declaiming into space that in Hve minutes, if they won't
play his game, he is going to climb the tree and sulk, and then they'll be sorry!
Alba-in an obvious effort to maintain peace, offers the mild suggestion that a brisk workfout
in Latin declensions would be of advantage to everyone. She is downed, however, by-
Dallas-who scornfully retorts that such a game-with Biology-is no fun, besides being
uneconomic. He emphatically states, "I move that we set up a 'model cofoperative, and get in
practice facing facts before the summer is over."

Olive- -"I agree with you, Dallas. I seem to remember an adage about the busy bee, or was it
a wasp? Anyway, he was always busy. So I second the motion."
Helen+"Heaven's no! That's much too dry. I suggest we all do some settingfup exercises."
All--3'Oh, Helen, it's much too hot to exercise."
Helen-dryly, with an inclusive glance around, "Well, some of us could certainly stand it."
Annah--"Oh, kids, I know a lovely game. It's called gossip. Someone leaves the group and
the rest all tell things they know about the person, and then he comes back and tries to guess who
said them. It's really lots of fun--and educational, too."
Charlie-3'Annah, just between you and I, that sounds like a fine game, but"-as the rest all
reject the game, some scornfully, but the majority nervously-"I don't think this is quite the day
for it."
Stuart-in an effort to ease the tenseness of the moment, "Well, I propose that we all do just
as we pleasefand I for one am going to practise the comet." He moves away to a secluded spot.
And so, as the scene closes, Stuart is conducting a class in cornet playing. On one side of
him sits Alba, who has long yearned to learn to play the cornet, and on the other side Annah,
who is absently pulling the petals off a daisy. Garrett, whose offer of his services in an advisory
capacity has been tactfully refused, has accompanied Chester to a bare spot of the pasture, where
Chester intends to play his War and Peace game by himself. While waiting for Peace to reign,
Garrett is mentally composing a few words of congratulation. Olive is sitting by herself,
endeavoring to remember just how that adage was worded about the bee-or was it a wasp?
Thinking examples may help her, she has sent Charlie forth to catch one of each. Howard, lackf
ing the energy to think of anything better, is accompanying him, picking on the way choice bits
of grass for Oscar, who will no doubt be tired when he returns from his interview with President
Roosevelt. Teddy, by pure accident, has chosen a spot near Ida in which to plan out an imaginary
parade ground, where he will be the general. Luther is fast wearing both himself and the grass
out in walking around and around the tree, wondering whether to take the chance of obscurity by
climbing the tree and sulking, or to remain on the ground and give in to the others--on exactly
what count he is a trifle vague. Ida has placed her patent leather shoes under a tree in the shade,
and is happily collecting twigs preparatory to playing house. Dallas, although he well knows he
will not make his wages of management with only one customer, has set up a cofoperative store
near Ida's house. Seeing that she is absorbed in her family, however, and seems in no mind to
"cooperate," Dallas, after glancing guiltily around, tiptoes surreptitiously to a place in the long
grass, sits down and, drawing a magazine from his pocket, begins to read. It is the Redbook.
After which there can be hut one action . . .

Hpseudofsophisticated Sophsf' "individualistic juniors," and "schof
lastic Seniors." Thus the drama called "College Life" is exposed. It is well
balanced, a life of study, athletics, and socials, it is full of friendships, it is
happy and hopeful, serious and sad. Thus it sponsors intellectual growth and
develops personality.
It would seem, therefore, that all classes are fundamentally the same--and
yet the Class of 1939 has played a unique part in the history of the American
International College. Your entrance at the peak of our expansion offered
every opportunity for great accomplishments, you saw these opportunities and
have ably taken advantage of them.
The organization and successful publication of the college newspaper, the
establishment of an annual winter carnival, the expansion of our athletic pro'
gram, the institution of Wright Hall, the expansion of our cultural program
through extrafcurricular organization, and the successful organization of a Stu'
dent Faculty Council are institutions to which you as a group or individually
have very ably contributed.
You are leaving, others are to take your place. Their history will be
fundamentally like yours, but you can be proud of the fact that your class has
been instrumental in the establishment of new traditions for the newer A. I. C.
and that you leave an indelible landmark which will not be forgotten and the
spirit of the Class of 1939 is to stay.
You enter this unstable world with great advantages. You are not bound
by old traditions which make many fearful to change. You have played an
active part in a changing world and are well equipped to meet the restless, darf
ing, creative spirit of a new age.

E TAPER, a yearfbyfyear chronicle of the life at the American
International College, has become a cherished institution of both
the graduate and undergraduate students.
' lQ7aJl
Each year the Taper Staff has sought to better the material content of
this book. This year it has altered the basic layout, enlarged the book
itself, and added new and different items.
Since its inception, the Taper has maintained one established policy
toward advertising, it has attracted the better business establishments of
Springfield. This year, the Taper Staff has been in a position to perpetuate
this policy through the co operation of the contributing merchants.
The Taper Staff, aware of the benefits bestowed by the advertisers, is
appreciative, and thanks those who have made the maintenance of this
policy possible.
The attention of the graduates, undergraduates, and friends is called to
these benefits, and the Taper Staff urges that their appreciation be shown
through patronage.
