LEONARD KELLY CZ L. ■ PRESIDENT OF THE STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE AT WESTFIELD FOREWORD by Charles Russell, President To you who graduate in the class of 1937 this book and this year mark the close of a period of sustained effort that you will never forget. They also mark the beginning of a period of new effort and of new endeavor for which your previous years have been merely a preparation. For nearly a century this col- lege has been engaged in pouring into the life stream of Massachusetts persons especially prepared to teach and to lead young people. This has grown to be one of the most impor- tant activities of the Commonwealth and those who undertake it are rendering to the Commonwealth its most necessary service. May you take your place beside those who have preceded you, confident in your ability to succeed and secure in the idealism that will lead to that success. The best wishes of your college go with you. STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE AT WESTFIELD o o X u o g 2 -Ihe IHK€£ J. VEY MERRILL, ED.M. Director of Training and Principal of Training School GLADYS F.

Beautiful ! — Seemingly complete In its beauty — And then — Slowly, almost fearfully The delicate petals unfold, And look about uncertainly As if to plead; Oh life, be good ! Oh life, be good! As the petals grow large The rose becomes strong. Beautiful and shining! Resplendent and perfect ! Unafraid — Successful — Loving Life — ■ Aye- Commencement is the end, And yet the beginning!

Jan. 24 and Jan. 31 May Day 1934-1935 May Day 1935-1936 Samples tested during assembly pro- grams Broadcast of Brief Impressions and Graded Dramatizations . Result not too tasty but showed promise.

Sweetened to taste in Old English style. Ginger and a sprinkling of nuts added by little sisters. Recipe tested again for texture and grain and fully approved for ingenuity and superiority in executive work for W.A.A. Dance, Junior Snow Ball, and planetarium idea of Inter-Class Prom.

Rita Gibbons Veronica La Fleur 30 WILL OF CLASS ' 37 We who arc about to live Must think of all the things we ' ll give To those who still will be at school — Let us be guided by the golden rule. On Dr. Russell we bestow A Senior Class who ' ll steal his show, And be remembered many a year With many a sigh, and many a tear ; And one thing more— ' cause he ' s a peach ! A whole assembly to finish that speech. Miss Pratt in the library does us scare- By coming on us unaware ; On this, Miss Pratt, we call a halt. To help yon to correct this fault Some good, loud taps for you we choose ; We hope you ' ll wear them on your shoes. As through the office doors we go To make excuses when we ' re slow, The clerks do oft become quite weak Because our excuses are unique — A sense of humor to them we leave So that our alibis they ' ll believe. To Miss Braucher we dedicate A book entitled, What They Ate . It gives some new and varied names To take her salads to great fames. Then when she wants a name to use From brand new ones she ' ll have to choose. To Mrs. Brooks — We ' ll make her laugh, And also cut her work in half ; We leave a can-opener — for what ? — we ' ll tell — To open up classes and stir them well ; Then when her classes their knowledge do spout It will be digested when it comes out. To Mr. Conlin — classically inclined. We leave a library well streamlined With vo lumes — large and small ones too, Like Boston College and Harvard U ; He ' ll know when he opens this library ' s door He ' ll be able to find what he ' s looking for. Miss Eveleth really loves to paint ; At times we thought that she would faint When at our efforts she would peer — You see they ' re strange and even queer ; Miss Eveleth — a class in art to you ! Make them love it the way you do ! Mr. Hawley leads us all in song: And sometimes when we all sing wrong He takes off his glasses, and mops off his brow Fifty times in one class we will avow. To save all the energy used in this task We leave him the new invisible glass. There ' s Mr. Kelly — He ' s our boss ; We know that he will feel his loss. So as from Westfield ' s halls we pass, We leave to him a brilliant class, Who ' ll ask him questions and yet will live To hear him fail the right answer to give. Miss Lammers has a class in Health In which she gives notes of great wealth. Copious notes from her we took — Miss Lammers, you should write a book. We ' ll choose the name. We all agree — Call it— Health from A to Z . Miss Lusk, you have a lot to do. And so our parting gift to you Will be a fifty-hour day, So that the time won ' t fly away, And leave you and your classes too With lots of work still left to do. Mr. Patterson loves all current news, Through all periodicals he does peruse ; To startle his students with articles new Is what Mr. Patterson delights to do. To save all the things, from the news that he took, We present to him, The Whopper Scrap Book . To Miss Robert what shall we give? She ' s got most everything it takes to live — Ah — We ' ve got it — a little pup, One of her own, not a pick-up ; A doggie with a lot of pep For surely Miss Robert will make him step. Miss Tobey is a whiz at Math, And it does arouse her wrath To have some one come in to class Without a paper fit to pass. We ' ll give her a class — one that will do Nothing but Math all the day through. Oh, Junior Class, our stay is done, Now you ' ll be Seniors — sure it ' s fun. But you ' ll have work piled high on you And Seniors must be active too !— It ' s hard — but to dispel your gloom We leave to you the Senior Room. Sophomores, you ' re really grand ! Second best class in the land ! Next year, small sisters you will see ; We leave the hope that they will be A class that you ' ll be proud of too As your big sisters are of you. To the Freshmen — now the baby class — We leave the hope that you will pass Right on into your Senior Year. For you, we have a definite fear ; You need a blotter (Don ' t think us rude) To blot out that inferior attitude! We ' ve given all our things away. But still we live — it ' s meant that way ; It ' s too hard to die— we all agree So here is our philosophy : Razors pain you, Rivers are damp, Acids stain you, Drugs cause cramp, Guns aren ' t lawful, Nooses give, Gas is awful ' We ' might as well live. Ruth Kratochvil Harriet O ' Keefe Jeannette Trudeau 31 PROPHECY OF CLASS OF 1937 North Overshoe, Maine March 20, 1957 Dear Gay, Congratulations ! Your appointment as Dean of Women at the State Teachers College upon the retirement of Dr. Russell has the approval of the alumnae group as well as the individuals of the class of ' 37 who are, by the way, doing very nicely for themselves. On one of my numerous trips to New York, I came upon Helen Bat- tistoni and Veronica LaFleur. Helen makes a splendid air-hostess; Ver- onica is the chief navigator for the same airline. She had her inspiration in our geography classes, but this noble ambition she concealed from us because one day she failed to locate Timbuctoo on one of Mrs. Brook ' s famous mimeographed maps (now used so extensively by Puzzle Com- panies) . At the airport in New York, I stopped at the bookstall for a copy of that new and profound study of life, Live and Like It by America ' s fore- most critic, Gladys Farr. As I turned to leave with the scholarly edition tucked under my arm, I bumped into Kay Meehan. Kay, you know, is married now but continues to lecture to Women ' s Clubs and Uplift Leagues on the subject Smoke Gets in Your Eyes . We lunched together, and then walked down to the runway to watch the Trans-Atlantic seaplane come in. The photographers and reporters were paying a great deal of attention to one plane in particular. Kay and I were surprised and happy to find that Rita Connery had arrived from Europe after a two-year exhibition tour which followed her spectacular four-medal victory in the 1952 Olym- pics. We talked for awhile with her manager, Anna Kostek, who informed us that Rita would retire after the 1960 meet. She added that Rita ' s great stamina and speed were due in part to her training at Westfield which in- cluded not only the actual athletic program but also managing enough speed to make Miss Tobey ' s class on the dot — or else! Kay and I parted shortly afterward but I had her assurance that I would see her at the next alumnae meeting. I signaled a cab, and was driven to the Ritz-Carleton by an expert driver. A card on the taxi- meter read: Beaudreault-Mish School of Plain and Fancy Driving . Lectures on Wednesday and Friday by Miss Ruth Beaudreault. Subject: How to cut in and out of traffic and still have paint on your fenders. Lectures on Tuesday and Thursday by Miss Helen Mish. Subject: Why fix a flat tire? In the lobby, I encountered Jo Szymczyk who was in the city for a conference on child clinics. She is a doctor ' s assistant in a small Mass- achusetts town. Jo and I planned to attend the theatre that evening, but we were unable to purchase tickets for the revival of that sensational play Idiot ' s Delight now returned to Broadway under the title College Reunion. We got in touch, however, with Florence Kane, the dramatic coach and she made arrangements for us to attend the opening night of Anne Le Noir ' s new play which has since been declared by critics as the outstanding play of the year. The play, you know, is an adaptation of that Pulitzer Prize-winning book, South in the Equatorial Calms or Gone Is the Wind by our former classmate, Winnie Wallace, who has returned to her mis- sionary post in Africa. The following afternoon while visiting a friend ' s apartment in the Village, I was disturbed by vaguely familiar noises from the apartment above. I was informed that a leading exponent of the modern dance (still 32 called modern after all these years) occupied the apartment above. In the interest of art, I decided to visit the dance studio. The door plaque read Haryette Kyfe, Choregrapher which seemed almost as familiar as the noises I had heard. Of course you ' ve guessed by now who the chore- grapher was, Harriet O ' Keefe in all her originality and glory. We spent a pleasant half-hour arguing about the future of the modern dance. We parted, each with the idea that we had won the argument, and surely we had for Harriet was right about New York and I about Maine where the square dances still hold forth as the leading entertainment. And here I am back in Maine where I will remain until our next alum- nae meeting when I hope to see you and all the thirty-seveners . Until then, Ann Moran Westfield, Massachusetts April 1, 1957 Dear Peg, You would probably never recognize Westfield, and especially the campus if you were to return. Indeed, I believe that I am going to enjoy my newly acquired position. The new College Shoppe, located on King- Street for the social improvement of the students, has proved a convenience for the faculty also who have abandoned their lecturing, impromptu and otherwise, in favor of organized lectures on all things feminine by Jeannette Trudeau, manager and designer (who by the way deluged me with clip- pings on Eleanor Cyran since she skyrocketed to tennis fame — you know she ' s over in Wimbledon defending her title). Jo Millius, Jeannette ' s able assistant, specializes in knitting and its ethics. The second floor of this very modernistic shoppe houses the offices of the Bureau of Assistance in Parliamentary Procedure with its printing presses. When visiting there, I found that its president, Edith Squazza, had flown to Chicago where she was scheduled to address the general as- sembly of the Model League. However, I learned that in these offices are run off correspondence courses in Parliamentary Procedure, highlights in international affairs, and lastly, the weekly issue of the Commentator, gratis. It might interest you to know that freedom of the press as well as promptness are now essential characteristics in this literary effort — the Commentatoy ' . Another noteworthy improvement is a newly endowed field house and swimming pool, the gift of our classmate, June Meacham, now a wealthy widow. I understand that a weighty problem faced the board of directors concerning the location of this building. However, a civic-minded citizen donated a large area of land for the extension of our campus. Anne Plas- kewicz has been appointed swimming instructor and director. Here in the foothills of the Berkshires, the three inseparables from the Elms have a very successful Summer School of Culture . Ceil Sullivan, instructor in voice and poise, is director. Gert Hallein, the language ex- pert, is the connoisseur of foreign foods and phrases; while Peg Driscoll (known as M.D.) teaches music theory and instruments. When I mention music, I am reminded of Dorothy Shipley whose com- positions and arrangements are so popular. She is currently appearing with the Cleveland Orchestra as guest soloist. Mora Terry ' s aptitude for rhythm and acting resulted in her permanent settlement in Hollywood, where she teaches the fundamentals of tap dancing while she studies character act- ing and awaits stardom. I have had promises from Dot and Mora to 33 attend our next class reunion. I hope that I may have a similar promise from you since facilities for a trip are so close at hand. Always, Gay Homicki Alameda, California May 15, 1957 Dear Anne, Here I am in Alameda waiting to board the China Clipper to take me back to my tea room in Honolulu where extensive improvements are being made. It might interest you to know that redecorating is being done by Ruth Kratochvil Jones who kindly consented to do it for me even though she is busily engaged in bringing up the sextuplets. During my stay in San Francisco I attended a lecture by our own Mae Cavanaugh who has replaced Edna St. Vincent Millay as the leading poetess in the United States. While I was at this lecture, whom should I see in front row writing frantically but Doris Beaudreault ! It seems that she is the star reporter of the Frisco Gazette. She was very much elated when she managed to get a personal interview with Mae — due to W.S.T.C. con- nections. Do you remember Rachel Clark? Her name is in headlines of all the papers here as appearing before the American Institute of Science as a human comptometer. Marion Abrams is assisting with the demonstra- tions by firing mathematical problems at Rachel. I read in the latest Vogue of Betty MacLalan ' s Date Bureau modeled after Ted Peckham ' s Escort Bureau which was so popular a few years ago. Jerry O ' Keefe, one of the popular young girls at the Bureau, was pictured in the Vogue. She still looks very much the madonna she por- trayed in one of our college plays. You must see that issue of Vogue. I meant to tell you in my previous letter that Mary Holland and Dot Heywood stopped at my tearoom a few weeks ago. They were reviving their W.S.T.C. friendship. Dot is going to the Orient as a representative of the English government to study conditions in the East. Mary is also headed for the Orient where, as Secretary of the League of Nations, she is surveying the eastern view on the League. They told me that Helen Jed- licka is leading a class in speech in Chicago. I suppose you read in the Saturday Review that Jo Connolly won the Noble Prize for having the temerity to write I Dare to Write as Funny as I Can . Didn ' t you always feel that her wit and humor would get her somewhere? While I am writing this letter, Jennie Kempisty is just outside on one side of the landing field practicing horseshoes. As she pitches the horse- shoe accurately to its pole, a host of photographers are taking her picture. As America ' s woman Barnyard Golf Champion, she certainly does de- serve this publicity. Just before I left San Francisco, I went into the department store and whom should I see in the information booth but Doris Griffin who, no doubt, is using her copious W.S.T.C. notes to good advantage. When the woman to whom she had been explaining something turned around it was none other than Rita Gibbons who, after having gone into seclusion for several months to make a collection of her puns, was now trying to find out what new things had appeared since she decided to be a hermit. Can ' t you recall one of her many jests? But here comes the Clipper so I must be off — write soon. As ever, Peg Maher 34 SEARCHING Chaotic, restless, still untried, Our search is not yet satisfied. The thoughts which flutter to and fro Cause mental anguish — yes, you know That it will come, this much-sought Fame To some at last, to others — no ; Though Age may secretly smile in jest She too has felt this same unrest.

And the roses lifted a tear-stained face, they too remembered, I know, The joy we ' d lived in a perfect love, in the not-so-long ago. You left so very quickly — God spoke but just a word; You said good-bye so softly, I never even heard. I looked about and you had gone, never to return — The roses bent their heads in pain, and wept amid the fern. But suddenly a star appeared, so bright and very new, And there it was in heaven, a farewell gift from you. So now when I am lonely, I sit and watch my star, And know that you are waiting there, and heaven ' s not so far ! Mary L.
