The Association consolidates our extra-curricula activity program, super- vising all matters pertaining to student life which do not come under the jurisdiction of the faculty. It seeks to further cooperation, unity and loyalty among the students of our college and to place on a higher level all social, cultural, and educational standards. The Student Cooperative Council is the legislative body of the Student Cooperative Association. The council is composed of four officers and eight representatives, a man and a woman from each of the four classes. This council is the nucleous through which school affairs under the jurisdiction of the students are discussed and regulations proposed.

In order better to achieve these aims, members of the staff are sent each year to con- ferences of The Columbia Scholastic Press Association at New York and The Massachusetts State Teachers College Publications Association at the various teachers colleges throughout the state. At these conferences problems of school newspapers are discussed by the assemblage, and a wide range of ideas about and solutions to these problems are given. On November 16, 1939; Fitchburg was the scene of one of these conferences with over fifty delegates from five colleges attending. The history of THE STICK has been marked by all-round growth. It is for the Underclass- men to see that that growth continues. c nmutin 9 en 6 VjSoard RUSSELL GEARIN DONALD JOHNSON DANIEL SULLIVAN ROBERT PATCH WILLIAM COVE President Senior Representative Junior Representative Sophomore Representative Freshman Representative Having as its purpose for organization, the comfort and welfare of com- muting men students, the Association is controlled by a board of five members, one from each class in addition to one Senior member who is president of the Association and chairman of the board. Two social events are held each year: the first, a Men ' s Smoker in Decem- ber, and the second an Installation banquet in April to honor retiring officers and to install new officers. The Smoker held this year for the first time proved to be an outstanding social event. Mr. Philip Cashman, Director of Special Schools and Classes for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and a graduate of Fitchburg Teachers College, was the speaker. Subsidized by the Student Cooperative Association, the Men Commuters Organization has prospered under the constant efforts of Dean Weston and the kindly cooperation of President Herlihy. £ ommvtun tit ' f Wo omen 5 d-Joard MARY GAGNON HELEN HARTNETT MARION MOORE JOAN RICE MARJORIE KILLELEA President Senior Representative Junior Representative Sophomore Representative Freshman Representative The Commuting Women ' s Organization includes all women day students at the college and is sponsored by Dean Bradt. The board endeavors to make conditions at the college as homelike as possible for commuting women during their leisure hours. A comfortably furnished Day Room is the scene of much informal chatting, singing, dancing and even napping especially during the noon hour. An attractive lunchroom, located in the Edgerly School Building provides a healthful atmosphere for the lunch hour; in the adjoining kitchen the girls have an opportunity to practice the culinary art. The commuters stage one or two social events during the school year. The first is an afternoon tea in honor of the freshman members. The out- standing social affair of each year is the Women ' s Banquet, a joint commuters and dormitory event, held in the college dining hall. ■ palmer 4 all d5oard ALFRED TURNER PARKER MATTHEWS STUART CLEMMER WILLIAM BURNS THOMAS MACKLIN President Senior Representative Junior Representative Sophomore Representative Freshman Representative Acting in its capacity as a subsidiary division of the Student Council Association, the Palmer Hall Board planned its program of activities with the best interests of the dormitory men in mind. Each week the board met under the guidance of its sponsor, first Mr. Carpenter and later Mr. Holmes, to discuss and act upon problems which related to dormitory life and to plan social activities which make dormitory life such an enjoyable experience. This year an interesting program of dormitory and inter-dormitory parties and activities was carried out. These activities included receptions, socials, dancing parties, open house, a Christmas banquet, and tournaments in foot- ball, basketball, and bridge. liter f4atl i5oard LOUISE BALDWIN VERA KENNEY LAURENCIA GRILL VIRGINIA SULLIVAN GRACE JOHNSON President Senior Representative Junior Representative Sophomore Representative Freshman Representative The Miller Hall Board is really sixteen years old. It started as the Young Women ' s Student Government Association , with a charter signed by faculty and student representatives and granting jurisdiction mainly over study hours. At present the dormitory board is a unit of the Student Cooperative As- sociation and is concerned with the life of dormitory women, scholastically, recreationally and socially. This year the board has sponsored dormitory teas, informal dances, girls ' costume party, Dormitory and Commuting girls ' formal, board dinner, open house on Friday nights, and Mothers ' Week End in May when all senior and junior girls entertained their mothers. a ramauc tit L tub THOMAS SWEENEY RUSSELL GEARIN BEVERLY O ' DONNELL DOROTHY HACKETT SENIORS Baldwin, Barbara Buckley, Joan Downs, Herbert Gay, Alice Gearin, Russell Gibson, Helen Hazel, Florence Hughes, Ruthe Kenney, Vera Lafrennie, Ruth Murphy, John Passios, Thomas Schmidt, Virginia Sears, Dorothy Shea, Mary Sweeney, Thomas Ward, Mary President Vice President Secretary Treasurer eniberski P JUNIORS Casassa, Charles Hackett, Dorothy Mulcahy, Ursula Mulski, John O ' Donnell, Beverly Waris, Sirkka Weibust, Warren SOPHOMORES Allen, Richard Gemma, John Gray, Ralph Kelliher, Richard Lach, Adele O ' Neil, Eileen Onischuk, Frank Pauze, Roger TECHNICIANS Bennett, Bertram O Connell, Harry ' DEATH TAKES A HOLIDAY The Dramatic Club has enjoyed its best year from the point of view of a successful public production as well as of individual help given by and to each member. One big public performance did not complete the year ' s work. The president early announced his desire to make the members more play- conscious and that has been accomplished. Five hundred twenty-five people packed the Assembly Hall to see what was afterwards reported to be the best play produced during Miss Nixon ' s eight years of direction. Local papers called it the best thing ever done in the city by an amateur group. Warren Weibust and Sirkka Waris admirably carried the leading roles and received excellent support from the entire cast. A new set together with much care as to the stage, and hours of work by an all-round group of stage men made an evening ' s entertainment that set a new standard for college dramatics. One of the best contributions during the year consisted of the plays by the members of each class within the club. Student-coached, the casts showed skill in action and gave encouragement as to material for next year ' s public production which will be The Barretts. BEHIND THE SCENES eJjebatina K tub 9 JOSEPH LALLI THOMAS MORAN CLIFTON HULBERT CHARLES CASASSA President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Increase in the number of radio debates and forum discussions were the special features of the 1939-1940 Debating season. From November to May there were tryouts, voice practice, research and preparation for five radio contests with the following schools: Salem Teachers College, Clark University, Bay Path Institute, Becker Business Institute, Holy Cross College, and Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Fortnightly the Debating Club met to discuss questions of general interest such as a policy of isolation for the United States, Cooperatives, and govern- ment ownership of railroads; and topics of special interest such as functions of a college paper, certification of teachers, co-recreation, general education vs. specialized training, scholarships, and democratic practices. The interest of the college was greatly aroused over the club ' s schedule and each inter-collegiate contest showed the prowess of the debating club. Besides the radio debates, Fitchburg met Keene Teachers College, American International College, Boston College and Boston University.

Under the guidance of its sponsor, Miss Lamprey, the Art Club has carried on an active program during the past year. To cover the interests of its members, the club has found it necessary to divide itself into four groups: crafts, sketching, oils, and photography. The club as a whole meets once a month for a lecture demonstration in some field of art. Each year a program sponsored by the Art Club is given at Assembly.

The society was organized nineteen years ago to give further training in the use of clear, concise English and in the art of standing on one ' s feet and saying something worthy of the attention of others. Meetings were held to practice parliamentary procedure and extem- poraneous speaking. Formal talks by men distinguished in their fields were enjoyed by the members. The Gaveleers this year sponsored their annual Gaveleer Open House. In connection with the Mohawk Club, they also sponsored the Gav-Hawk Formal and the Robert T. Coffin presentation. A beautiful mountain ash tree was planted on the campus and dedicated to the memory of Sargent E.

T. C. to field an alert, courageous, and skillful soccer team which enjoyed one of the most successful seasons in recent years. Although defeated by a good alumni aggregation in its first game, the team profited from the experience and was seldom outplayed during the remainder of the season. Highlights of the season were the close-spirited game with A. I. C. and the victory gained over our traditional rivals at Bridgewater in the final game of the season. While the graduation of such players as Vorse, Kosciusko, English, Loiko, Donovan, O ' Connell, and Gittzus will be deeply felt, Shinner, Gray, James, Smith, Berry, and other outstanding underclassmen will form a fine nucleus for next year ' s squad.

That complete reversal of form shows how the team improved as some of the strongest opponents were met in the last half of the season. The Junior Varsity squad, under the able coaching of Frank Luokkala, also had a fine season with six major victories and four defeats. Next year we should have one of the best basketball seasons in many years because not one of the Varsity men will be lost by graduation.

The leading hitters of last year ' s squad were Bud Powers with an aver- age of .356, Bill Konsavage with a .332, Captain Stan English with an average of over .300. With these stars of last season returning and additional material to bolster the outfield, Captain English has high expectations of bringing base- ball back to a top-notch position as one of the college sports. Jsce rrockeiA v i The Teachers College Ice Hockey team has ended a very successful season having played several college teams and a few independently oper- ated teams. Plans are being made to enter an All-College league next year. Four men will graduate this year, Thomas Aykroyd, playing manager, Stanley English, Lawrence Colson, and William Donovan. The returning players are Donald Davis, C. Blair MacLean, Jr., Capt. Herb Yankee, Anthony Noon, John O ' Neil, John McCaffery, Ralph Pearson, and John Killelea. .1 STANLEY ENGLISH Flash English he is known as around the campus. He has played varsity baseball for three years and this year he is captain of the sport. In his Freshman year he starred in track and hockey and in his Junior and Senior year he played varsity soccer. He has been one of the mainstays on the Champion Senior P. A. basketball team for the past four years. HARRY O ' CONNELL Harry has been the captain and high-scorer for the Senior P. A. basketball team for four years. He excelled in varsity track in his Freshman year. He played varsity soccer in his Junior and Senior year. He has also been instrumental in organizing dormitory basketball and has entered teams in the city leagues. HENRY KOSCIUSKO Jack-of-all-Sports , Henry has made a name for himself in varsity soccer for the past two years He also was on the Champion Senior P. A. team and has tried his hand at varsity baseball with con- siderable success. TOM SWEENEY Speed Sweeney has played two years of varsity soccer. He has excelled in intra-mural basketball for the past two years Tom likes the sports best that he doesn ' t have to move too fast in. LEO GITTZUS Leo ' s determination and his fighting spirit earned him a place on the soccer team. He also has been with the Senior P. A. in all intra-mural ac- tivities for the past four years. He was manager of the soccer team in his Junior year. This year he is Senior Representative on the intra-mural board. BILL DONOVAN Wild Bil l Donovan has played varsity soccer for the past four 6easons. He has also been active in intra-mural competition. He has been noted for his stamina and his never-say-die attitude on the playing field. JOHN LOIKO John has been the staunch full-back for the soccer team for the past four years, another player for the Senior P. A. basketball team, and has also been active in all intra-mural activities. WALTER VORSE Walt has played four years of varsity soccer, climaxing this record by being captain of the sport in his Senior year. He has played varsity baseball for two years and also has been active in basket- ball, playing with the J. V. ' s and with the Senior G. M. rnt ra- ura I (l5oard WALTER VORSE EDWARD DRISCOLL Student Director Secretary The intra-mural board, continuing its policy of providing athletic oppor- tunities for all men of the school, has this year attempted to expand its program in order to meet the needs of every individual concerned. In addition to the usual team activities, such as touch football and basketball, this year ' s board, in cooperation with the W.A.A., has stressed co-recreation as a student ac- tivity. A new award has been instituted this year in the way of class numerals to members on each winning team in the sports schedule. This award will be made in addition to the highly-prized Senior awards given annually to the three Senior men scoring the highest number of points during their term in school.

The purpose of the association is to cooperate with the department of physical education in promoting the highest standards of health and sports- manship, and to provide such a variety of sports that every girl can participate in at least one. In the fall of 1936, as freshman member of the association under the leader- ship of Ethel Critchley, I participated in my first Play Day at Keene Normal School. Another thrill came when Keene played vs. Fitchburg at Fitchburg. Though we lost the game, we had a grand time. During my sophomore year, the association was headed by Eleanor Scully, a junior. We played hockey against Lowell Teachers College and won 4-0. As in other years, many received an award at the end of the year. Anna Clifford led the W.A.A. during my junior year, and for the first time under the sponsorship of the W.A.A. and the Intra-mural Board, a pro- gram of co-recreation was carried on. The Fitchburg girls were victorious (both first and second teams) in a basketball game with Keene. One of the changes in the association was the merger of the Black Team into the other two teams, Orange and White. The highlight of the organization in my senior year was the M.S.T.C. Athletic Conference held at Fitchburg. From 7:30 Thursday, November 9, until 1:30 on Saturday, November 11, the delegates were kept busy with meetings, listening to interesting speakers, a faculty-student hockey game, a roller skating party, and a Barn Dance, which was considered tops by everyone. Other interesting events of this year were Keene Sports Day, an event which every girl looks forward to every year, the W.A.A. Rally down at the brook, and the presentation of awards at the W.A.A. Banquet. On the whole, the officers, captains, and heads of sports deserve much credit for the excellent manner in which the W.A.A. has conducted its program. Perhaps the greatest amount of honor is due to Miss Bolger, whose praise we best sing in the last line of her song, Some day we ' ll all be gone from here, but she ' s one that we ' ll ne ' r forget. RUTHE HUGHES, President . 3. y. ( itktetlc l onre erence The Annual Athletic Conference of the Massachusetts State Teachers Colleges held its sessions on Friday and Saturday, November 15 and 16, 1939, at Fitchburg. Delegates from the various State Teachers Colleges attended together with their instructors in Physical Education. Ruthe Hughes, President of the Fitchburg W.A.A., presided during the conference, and Eileen Connelly acted as Executive Secretary-Treasurer. Miss Bolger and Miss Stafford acted as faculty advisers. The Fitchburg girls who attended the conference were Lil Szocik and Barbara Baldwin. From Thursday night until Saturday noon the girls were kept busy with a variety of activities. It opened with an address of welcome by the presiding officer, followed by greetings from our College President, Dr. Herlihy. Mr. Daniel J. Kelley, State Supervisor of Physical Education, gave an interesting talk on Recreation as I see it in Massachusetts. Panel discussions followed, with each girl participating. At the general assembly attended by the entire faculty and student body, Dean Ernst Herman, director of the Sargent College of Boston University, spoke on Recreation — Yesterday and Today. A display of his own wood carvings illustrated his talk. In the afternoon, Lowell gave its survey report of How can co-recreation be carried on in a non-co-educational college , and Fitchburg presented its report on co-recreation. This was followed by a student-faculty hockey game. The highlight of the conference and most enjoyable and entertaining party of the year was the Barn Dance on Friday Night. Not only old-fashioned and modern dancing took place, but Bingo and ping-pong also. The gym was appropriately decorated with streamers, bal- loons, corn stalks, pumpkins, and a stall from which the orchestra played. Much credit is due Bev O ' Donnell and her committee, made up of boys and girls, for the success of the evening. Following the business meeting and roller skating on Saturday morning, the visiting delegates and instructors said goodbye, to return to their various colleges with a feeling that this conference had been a success in every way. LTt ' WHITE HOCKEY TEAM ORANGE HOCKEY TEAM jrletd troche y i ELEANOR THURLOW The hockey team of the 1939 season was coached by Eleanor Thurlow, and a season of good fun was enjoyed by all. The White team was vic- torious over the Orange, winning two games out of three after a hard-fought battle. Many freshmen athletes turned out when the game between the Upperclassmen and the Freshmen took place. Although the Upperclassmen won this game, the Freshmen showed what fine spirit they have. During the Conference Weekend, a game took place between two teams made up of faculty and delegates. Lil Szocik led her team to victory by a score of 4-1, scoring three goals herself, thus showing her ability as a hockey player. With the close of the hockey season, the Seniors say adios to their field hockey days at F.T.C.

After much practicing on dribbling, pivoting, and shooting, 64 girls were ready to play off the class games. The Juniors ' came to the front and defeated the Seniors — and then defeated the Freshmen, who had defeated the Sophomores — thus becoming the class champions. Of keen interest were the color games in which the first and second teams played. The games between the first teams were nerve-racking, hard-fought battles as both teams were evenly matched. In the first game the White de- feated the Orange 33-22; in the second game the Orange defeated the White 22-18; and in the deciding game the Orange Teddies made themselves the champs by defeating the White Bunnies by a score of 28-26. The annual game between Keene and F.T.C. was played, and in spite of snow and bruised limbs which kept some of the girls from playing, the first teams tied 33-33, thus successfully ending up Coach Szocik ' s season.

Badminton, ping-pong, and shuffleboard, were played three times a week at noon. Everyone cooperated in keeping the rules and regulations, thus making our initial attempt with co-recreation a great success. Because it was such d success, the co-recreation program of 1940 was enlarged to include tennis and bowling. Volleyball games with boys and girls participating have also been one of the highlights of the co-recreation program Plans for future co-roller skating have been made.

After stringent physical exams (in angel suits) the sailors scurried from fo ' castle to engine room in search of their nautical equipment — books! Every sailor experienced that mal-de-mer of initiation when sugar bags and shopping bags, toy ducks and etiquette books were daily paraded on deck. The older salts and the male contin- gent of ' 40 met in a tug-of-war, and ' 40 tumbled ' 39 into the drink. All was forgiven when the ship doctor prescribed a freshmen reception for the wounded. Under the guidance of Wesley Aykroyd, Marion Renne, Helen Nortonen, and Robert Geddes, the crew was whipped into line and diligently scrubbed decks for the first ' 40 party — a gala Valentine affair where our blue and gold flag was hoisted for the first time to the tune of the chanty, Here ' s To Old Fitchburg, written by Ray Lowe. Ports We Touched: A Freshman Tea; Dot Sears in as secretary when Marion Renne transferred; Nothing But The Truth ; frighten- ing exams; equally frightening men-in-subways ; Christmas as- sembly Madonnas; The Mikado ; sports trip to East Jaffrey and Mount Monadnock; Reverend Michael Ahem as Todd Lecturer; other people ' s proms; tennis; step-sings; modern dance in bare- feet; yellow daisies and awkward hoops. First Shore Leave The fall of ' 37 The crew of the good ship ' 40 returned to duty with eight missing. Men promoted from the ranks included Raymond Lowe, as president and Herbert Downs, as treasurer. Helen Nortonen and Dorothy Sears continued acting as secretary and vice-presi- dent, respectively. Turn and turn about brought new galley-slaves as we in- itiated a younger group under the watchful eyes of those ranking Admirals, the faculty. Experienced as we were, our Barn Dance was naturally superior and was the high point of our second year. A priest, a minister and a rabbi were our Todd Lecturers. Some of the ' 40 men were called into those sailors ' sanctums — the Gavs and the ' Hawks. Ports We Touched: Stunt night and the Flora-Dora girls (def- initely sweethearts in any port!); spa-ing; Bernice Cleaves in as secretary in place of Helen Nortonen; Kind Lady ; P. A. stepping; Carl Sandburg; still other people ' s proms; three new faculty mem- bers, Mr. Sullivan, Mr. Conlon, and Mr. Donoghue; blue dresses and lots of sailors ' soup — rain on class day! Second Shore Leave The fall of ' 38 We met with a big blow — a tearing hurricane that left the ship wallowing for months in the waters of repair. The same officers led the plaster-dusty crew. Said crew experienced much anguish from hayfever and from the command of the Secretary of the Navy to raise anchor and pass rapidly through the Straits of Initiation (so rapidly that we skipped it). The near-peak of the sailors ' careers came with the Junior Prom at Longwood Towers. Smooth civilian clothes were donned by all the crew and — the fleet was in! Ports We Touched: Robert Frost; training for some; Pinafore ; Winter Carnival; Trial By Jury ; Student Cooperative Council; Daisy Mayme ; Anton De Haas; radio debates; Glee Club at Christmas; banquets; Gav-Hawk formal; the dignity of being upperclassmen, class rings that became school rings; a riotous class day with effective tableaux; and the Sophs getting our goat in more ways than one. Third Shore Leave The fall of ' 39 Under the guidance of the same officers, the ship of ' 40 set out on the last part of its voyage. A relatively calm sea of initia- tion was passed. Crew pictures were taken and Prom plans were made. The crew was reunited after bitter experiences in ship ' s training irons. The harbor is in sight and the log book awaits its finis. Ports We Touched: Death Takes A Holiday ; W. A. A. Con- ference; M. S. T. C. P. A. Conference; banquet s; Christmas with the Glee Club; Nancy Byrd Turner; exams; teachers ' agencies; Winter Carnival; Robert Tristram Coffin; Thornton Burgess; memories.
