From the tumult of the fall of 1969 to the relative quiet of the spring of 1973, you have been participants and observers in your own development and that of your contemporaries at an unprecedented pace. It is my sincere wish that this unique experience, combined with the formal lessons learned, will be the foundation for outstanding individual success. Sincerely , Thomas A.

Ward i ulations! The Staff of the Beacon has this year decided for the first time to award a distinguished female member of the faculty here at Suffolk the honor of Woman of the Year. This move is partially in response to the growing movement for Women ' s Liberation, but mainly it is due to the personality of the various faculty members. After careful consideration, the Staff of the Beacon has decided to present what we hope is only the first in a series of awards to the outstanding faculty at Suffolk. This year ' s award is presented to Pro- fessor Judith R. Dushku for her interest and concern with the stu- dents at Suffolk, not only in the classroom but all over the campus. In the past years, she has served as a class advisor, as well as being an advisor to individual students and a variety of clubs and organi- zations. She has served with a sincerity and feeling which have won her the admiration of both students and faculty. Because of this, the Staff of the Beacon proudly select her as the First Annual Woman of the Year. And it is a choice well made. 58 Suffolk University ' s First Annual Woman of the Year 59 Student Government Association Executive Board Members Left to Right Richard Lalime VICE-PRESIDENT Richard Tranfaglia TREASURER Donna Cohen SECRETARY Kenneth Larson PRESIDENT 60 Senior Class Officers fit Left to Right Peter Vergados James D ' Entremont Bonita Gottschalk...

Some familiar sections have been omitted while new sections have been added. All of this has been done in an effort to make this book a more personal remem- brance of our years at Suffolk. It is my sincere hope that both these changes and the Beacon itself will be to your liking. This book could not have been produced without the help of many dedicated individuals whom I would like to thank. First, Jim Peterson the director of Student Acti- vites and his secretary, Raye King for all their help. Also, I must thank my photographers Fred Nazzaro, Fred Chase, Dan Fitzgerald and Guy Parrota. Professor Robert Jennings also made several photograpic contributions to the color section. Finally, I would like to express thanks to Lou Connelly from Public Relations, Joe Donovan from Keller Publish- ing Co. and the staff at Jordan Marsh Studios. Without the assistance of all these people the 1973 Beacon would not have been possible. Editor-in-Chief 63 TO LOSE IN OLD The moments of a stoneless year Without the haze of sunless cheer And the road that I am on leads to no where comes from none. By the time that I am old I ' ll have stories to be told I ' ll know lives that went unlived I ' ll know souls that went unfed. People meeting people, on sides of thick walls People speaking out, in dark soundless halls Lives of gray where rain drops fall Lives of joy where dreams are tall. But time goes on, and dreams grow small And people fly and birds do fall But I will see the rising sun And 1 will know lh;it I ;im one. Mary A. Cappunci I ' l ' .KMISSION ()!■ ' VKNTURI-: MACA .INK 6« First came the laughter, Massachusetts, the one and only . Then came Watergate and it ' s Pandora ' s box in Massachusetts, it would seem, would have the last laugh. 1973 would be a quiet year at Suffolk, the war was over, there were no demonstrations. For Suffolk, it would be a year of quiet growth. The new facility on Mount Vernon Street was both a symbol of this growth and a result of it. But there were other signs of growth. There were more speakers and exhibits than ever. AW STUDENT ACT OFFICE i ES Suffolk University Needs A STUDENT UNION NOW ! There had been a cry: Suffolk needs a Student Union Now . A muffled cry was finally heard, and so the student body was given a room on Ridgeway Lane. For now, it would have to do. There would be other signs of this quiet growth. First, there was a Flag Football League, then Co-Ed Softball All of these were symbolic of a new spirit at Suffolk. f 78 This performance of Itchy Skitchy, an original children ' s play written, di- rected and performed by members of the Suffolk student body for the plea- sure of brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, nieces and nephews of Suf- folk students as well as all the kids in the Beacon Hill area, was a great credit to the entire university. No one made a profit, no one received head- lines for their work— but a great many young children had an afternoon to remember. This is the kind of Spirit that seems to be taking over at Suffolk. And thank God it is. 79 THE GOLD KEY SOCIETY The Gold Key Society is comprised of Suffolk un- dergraduate students who have been elected to receive the highest recognition for service to student activities and the University at large. These honored students are formally initiated into this organization in June. They are selected by the active Gold Key Society, and new members receive an appropriate award.

SPRING VENTURE 73 IN THE VALLEY Late this afternoon, while trudging homeward along the road that rims a valley strewn with the stark hulks of trees, I saw one small copse, far below, smudged by a weeping willow ' s wisps of yellow leaves . . . leaves as faint as a shy child ' s first hint of what he wants, but, in my veins, vivid as the schoolyard shouts of boys who— granted a recess— rattle each pane of glass they gallop past.
