Like the vase in which roses have once been distilled: You may break, you may shatter the vase if you will, But the scent of the roses will hang round it still. Thomas Moore It was a mild sunny day in September, 1938. The breezes were full of good omen as they gently lapped the glorious summits of the W. S. T. C. Mountains. On this eventful day, the lowest peak of the steep incline, Mount Freshman by name, bore signs of feverish activity. Gathered there was a group of young people who, inspired by the lofty might of the towering colossus, were preparing to execute the marvelous feat of scaling it. This particular group was an odd mixture of personalities. Some looked fearfully and half ' bewildered toward their far ' distant goal. Others were affected by a strange bravado. But through all hearts and minds flowed the spontaneous strength of a great challenge. What sweet victory to gain a perch on Mt. Sophomore where even now another band of toilers waved encouragement! On each successive tier of the mountain, the human pageant of endeavor was repeated. But when their eyes came to rest on the topmost cliff, breath came short and heartbeats quickened. What was it that caught and held the glancing sun rays? A gold-glinted banner bearing the inscription ' Excelsior ' . Oh, to touch its fluttering folds — to stand beneath its gallant shade! Let the faint ' hearted depart now. Onward our feet; upward our goal! Before we could begin our ascent, however, we must first make careful preparations. During orientation, therefore, we received valuable instruction in the arts of mountain-climbing. The menacing shadow of the mountains held no fears for us as we gaily cavorted in a Get-Acquainted Party where we had opportunity to look about and meet our fellow-travelers. To cope with the exigencies of the trip, we appointed Pauline Olsen as our leader, Esther Maloney as assistant leader, Claire O ' Hara as keeper of the records, and Timothy Burns as provisions master. Then from the group of experienced guides, Mr. Conlin stepped forward to march competently at the head of our stalwart band. Through storm and sunshine he was to prove a magnificent guardian. The first few days of our journey were dark and dismal. No sooner had we stepped from the safety of the home camp than wc were suddenly lashed by shrieking hurricane winds which seemed a warning to desist from this mad endeavor. But despite the tumultuous onslaughts of the. elements, we gamely clambered over the debris to meet the fresh sunlit spaces on the upper reaches of the trail. Our days were not full of the exhausting routine of climbing, however. Now and again, we would stop to ease the strain and fatigue with get-togethers of fun and laughter. Such were the proms and dorm dances, the Dramatic Club Play and the newly instituted Fine Arts Series. In December when the snowcapped peaks dazzled the eye, we stopped on the icy trail to make merry at our annual Christmas Banquet. The play which followed this jolly repast was one of enduring beauty which will ever brighten our memory and make our hearts with pleasure fill. It was when the first year of our jaunt was almost completed that wc were almost hurled over the precipice. The very structure of the mountain was threatened with doom, and moaning rumors mumbled that we would never reach the summit. Turn back? Never! And so with the righteousness of our ideal spurring us on, we pleaded our cause in a resolute parade of entreaty. Victory was ours that day after the grand assault, and we valiantly plodded upward on the trail once again laid open to us. In the spring of the year we laid down our walking sticks to celebrate a grand event — the Centennial of W.S.T.C. With massive displays and graceful pageantry we honored the day. For one hundred years had the mountains of W.S.T.C. served as a glowing inspiration. We were the hundredth band to pass this way. All glory to that first party of trail-blazers who had paved the way for our coming! Through Examination Tunnel the way was dark and the footing precarious. But gallantly we vaulted the foreboding milestone and found ourselves on the eminence of Mt. Sophomore. How good it was to rest and survey our year ' s endeavor from that lofty height. But enough of this inaction. Let us shake off our lethargy and fill our lungs once again with the pure mountain air. It was a smaller group that set their feet to the trail that day — smaller but yet held together by the strength of a conviction and the zeal of achievement. With our sage guide and our organizational committee — Pauline Olsen as leader, Frank Bell as assistant leader, Rachel Nagle as keeper of the records, and Joseph Homicki as provisions master — we made increasing headway. At frequent intervals we found respite from toil and an opportunity to nurse our aching fee ' t and strained backs. Glittering lights bejeweled the perilous trail at our Hallowe ' en Party, our W.A.A. Dance and our Fine Arts Series. At our Christmas Banquet and Play we forgot weary work for a time and remembered only that we were young and fun-loving. In our gay feasting and song we rivaled the aged bards. One of the pearls which we strung on our necklace of memory that year was the concert given by our Glee Club, those artists of song, in conjunction with the Massachusetts State College Glee Club. [51] CLASS HISTORY— Continued After an especially severe climb up through the ravines of Examination Row, we shut out the sight of jutting crags and tripped the light fantastic at our June Prom. And well might we rejoice, for we had reached the third milestone — the glorious heights of Mt. Junior. The rugged facade of the mountain rose in sheer grandeur above us, menacing yet beckoning our eagei feet. The breezes whispered assurance, the mountain thundered applause, and far above us the gleaming banner waved the promise of things to come. As Big Sisters it was our duty to offer wise guidance and encouragement to our little sisters who, like us two years before, were striving to emulate the efforts of their predecessors. In our Get- Acquainted Party we did our best to have them aspire to the ideals that spurred our hearts and feet. We would have need of sage guidance this year and so we appointed in that capacity James Dowd as leader, Helen Schindler as assistant leader, Ann Leary as provisions master, and Everett Bush as keeper of the records. Many storms we weathered as implacably as the path we trod, but before we knew it, the vista of dazzling snow again met our eyes, and we laid down our walking sticks by the Yule fire and quenched our thirst from the spicy wassail bowl — for this year at our Christmas Banquet we carried out the tradition of an old English Yule Feast. It was shortly afterwards that we heard the war drums echoing through the mountain fast- nesses. Then we bade farewell to one of our number, Edward Meacham, who joined an ex- peditionary force to still the threatening murmur. And now gravity slipped like a cloak over our shoulders and clouded our faces with somber determination. The trail that now stretched above us was steep and bosky. Many feet had slipped on the jingle stones that lined its width. Danger and destruction lurked in the precipices that flanked its sides. We would have to call upon all the experience we had gleaned to prepare us for the difficult training stage that lay before us. We had heard tales of the terrors of this trail. Rumors of treacherous gullies and impassable boulders leaped from the depths of rumor to confront us. But undaunted as ever, we ventured out, waveringly at first, but more firmly as we gained familiarity with unaccustomed ground. To make the journey lighter we received the reviving tonic of the Art Club Fashion Show, the Glee Club Concert with Massachusetts State College Glee Club, and those rollicking Roller Skating Parties at Babb ' s. Suddenly with no warning, the violence of the elements struck at us once more, and we were bombarded by the same kind of storm that had lashed its fury on us during the first year of our climb. As we stood there in the wind and rain, feet firmly planted on the ground, we vowed that we would not allow all that we had worked for to perish in the avalanche of boulders and debris. The gods heard our plea and knew that it was right. Thor stayed his hand before his mighty hammer could cleave the mountain, and we emerged once again into the sunshine. Our May Day Festival was never more resplendent. We stripped the mountain of its gorgeous blooms to enhance the loveliness of our queen, Ruth Gorham, and her equally lovely attendants, Margaret Murray and Margaret Lucey. All the elements shone in ethereal splendor. The skies had never seemed more celestial, the sun never so brilliant as that which lavished its beams on that day ' s proceedings. A never-to-be-forgotten moment, a pageant of beauty that will always brighten the recesses of memory. It was an exhausted party that scaled the huge Examination precipice. But with eager hearts we hastened our laggard feet to gain the prominence of Senior Peak. Our goal was now so close to us. May Heaven grant us its fulfillment! On Cap and Gown Day, we passed in stately procession through Senior Narrows. We were led that day by Everett Bush as leader, Mary Lyons as assistant leader, Mary FitzMaurice as keeper of the records, and Virginia Sullivan as provisions master. The wisdom of three years experience guided our steps and showed us how to avoid the yawning canyons that waited for those who forget the rules of patience and vigilance. Glittering moments lightened the harsh travail. When we came to a level space on the steep incline we would stop to relax and refurbish our sticks and boots. We will long remember the Hallowe ' en Barn Dance which we held on a shallow plateau. Under the direction of Ann Leary and Margaret Murray it was a huge success. To the tune of war reverberations we celebrated our Christmas Banquet and play. The graceful tableau of the English Yule Feast was repeated, and from the wassail bowl we drank toasts to the hope that the Star of Peace which had shone on that first Christmas would pierce the clouds of darkness that hung over us all now. When the end of January came, our special training siege was over. We could now devote ourselves to the stiff routine of climbing. When we stopped on a broad mountain steppe for our Interclass Promenade and still later our Junior-Senior Ball, one would never have guessed as we danced away our fatigue, that our feet had ever been swollen and blistered from the rocky trail. The troubles of mankind had no influence on Mother Nature, however, and when May Day came again, the mountain was bedecked in the natural finery that would honor our last May Day on the mountain. Soon our Student Council Promenade found us kicking off our stout boots in favor of the light sandals that graced the evening ' s gambol. [52] CLASS HISTORY— Continued As we neared the summit, fatigue dogged our footsteps and made each inch of progress a painful ordeal. The warm, sun-baked rocks invited us to repose but something called us to go on. The breeze seemed to whisper an exultant message to us as it fanned our cheeks and then provocatively beckoned us on. Nor did we ignore its tender sallies as we gamely continued with indefatigable zeal. Baccalaureate opened to us the illimitable vision of dazzling promise. Rejoice Seniors, for the moment would soon be here! With the coming, of Commencement, we took the last eager steps toward Graduation Heights. Our alpine journey was over! We had scaled Parnassus! But our gold ' glinted banner, ' Excelsior 1 .... Vainly had we striven through pain and torment, for there it hung, fluttering high above our reach. Then, like the clash of thunderous cymbals, came to us the profound realization that this was the beginning — not the end — of our climb. All the fatigue, the heartache, the joy and humor had been a preparation for something even greater. We must go on climbing, continuing the ascent which we had so bravely begun. So, standing here on the glorious summit of W.S.T.C, let us join hands and vow again, Onward our feet; upward our goal! Class Will We the Class of 1942, having been sheltered within the portals of our Alma Mater for the past four years, now face the future. We do hereby, draw up therefore and present our first, last, and only will. We devise and bequeath to: Mr. Scanlon: A class large enough to take our place in his heart.

In witness whereof we have hereunto set our hand and seal, this tenth day of June, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and forty-two. THE CLASS OF 1942 Deborah Harrison Ann Leary Margaret Lucey James Gorman Class Prophecy OF— SEALING WAX— OF CABBAGES— AND KINGS. It is snowing artistically outside in the last stages of a lovely New York twilight. It is a time for blazing fires, toasted marshmallows, and musings; for it is also December twenty-third in the year 1952. In an art studio — high above its neighbors — is the home (lacking all the comforts) of Pegeen, America ' s foremost designer of clothes for the little ones. Pegeen, who was known as Margaret Murray in a little New England hamlet, is entertaining two of her former college friends: Virginia Sullivan, a gentle soul who writes manly poetry a la Stein, after having gained national prominence as the author of the parody, Gunga Gin ; and Theresa Russo, dilettante social worker who blew in from China with a monsoon. At the moment, they are discussing the expected arrival of Thomas W. Hussey, another classmate of old, temporarily in New York, who has become an obscure foreign correspondent for the Behind Times under the feasible editorship of Tony Barcewicz. Thomas Walter has gained somewhat of a reputation for himself by being the only still-employed reporter who has never made a deadline. A whirring noise suggests to the waiters that Tom is only three and a half hours late this time. Gin Sullivan goes to the window and confirms her suspicions by announcing that he has just parked his airplane and is busy setting up his collapsible elevator (invented by Eileen I wish this building had an elevator Garvey). When Brother Hussey finally staggers in — high places make him ill — he is warmly invited to melt the snow off his shoulders. After a time, the four settle themselves preparatory to keeping up their Alma Mater traditions of good fellowship, merry quips without the cranks, and objective gossip (this last being a very important part of the train- ing received at W. S. T. C. and which is more advanced in subtlety than the common type of remarks so deplorably fashionable in other institutions). Just before I set off, began Tom, I ran into Everett Bush. He was doing the queerest thing. It seems he is working on a thesis involving the production of nicotineless tobacco so he spends his leisure time gathering discarded butts for analytical purposes. CLASS PROPHECY— Continued If you think that is queer, what about Edna Gehring ' s occupation? , asked Gin. She is the only member of the class of ' 42 who is teaching school. And after all the training the others went through. Well, since we ' re on the subject, said Tess, how about John Shea ' s occupation? On my way home I stopped off at a little village in the Congo to leave some chopsticks with an African chief, and while I was listening to a few of the Chief ' s jungle jive recordings, I suddenly heard the tramp of feet in rhythmical step with the music. Amazed by this innovation of marching among the natives, I dashed out. There was John Shea, leading a safari of natives laden with potato sacks. They were headed for the Gold Coast where potatoes are at a premium. After a brief chat, I gathered that John has become a perfect prototype of Miss Tobey ' s Economic Man. Being a Holyoker herself, Gin Sullivan gave a little laugh of understanding and asked about another Holyoker, Ann Leary. By the way, Pegeen, have you followed the lead of other New Yorkers and gone on one of Ann Leary ' s tours? What, didn ' t she go in for politics? asked Tom. Oh no, she is conducting tours that ignore geographical and historical landmarks and con ' centrate instead on the inhabitants of the places they visit. Recently she ran into Jim Dowd and Jim Gorman in Oshkosh where they have finally set up the medicine show they threatened us with in college. Remember the barking they indulged in in the hallowed halls of W. S. T. C? She reports that it is a well-earned failure. Then came The Lull, as the reminiscent classmates sought to overcome the nostalgia their memories produced. Tom ' s gase struck upon a neatly-framed picture on Pegeen ' s desk and snorted, Outside of the amount that ' s a good-looking check you have there. Observing Tom ' s look of disgust, Pegeen elucidated — Haven ' t you seen the new checks that the Forty-Second Bank is issuing? Their treasurer, Stella Wasik, designs them. You see, it is her theory that art should be incorporated into business. After convincing the directors that she was right, she set about designing checks with scenic backgrounds and Old English printing. The cancelled checks are then suitable for framing and become free advertisements for the bank. Is that the concern Irene Sheehan is with? inquired Tess. No, responded Gin, She left them a few months ago to collaborate with Miss Tobey on the price index based on the weekly fluctuations of the price of sugar purchased in five- pound lots. I understand that Jennie Bashista is helping them by reporting each week what she pays for the sugar used in her restaurants. said Tom. Being an important restaurant-chain owner, Jennie is news these days. How many restaurants has she in her chain? asked the long-absent Tess. When she opens her newest restaurant in Greenwich Village she will have one hundred and four or an average of three in each state, informed Gin (a poetess with mathematical leanings). This item added new impetus to the bull session and names flew fast and furiously. Out of the chaos of interruptions, corrections, and additions, Pegeen is heard asking Tess if she had stopped over in Scotland to see Peggy Meaney. Tess said that she regretted not having done so but that in her last letter Peggy said that she had completed volume twenty of The Influence of Geography Upon the History of Scotland and is now writing an important treatise on the proper way to place bows in your hair. Wc will eagerly await that, said Tom. I can ' t do a thing with my hair lately. Then you should sec Vivian Frappier. Her ' Beauty Salon Frappe ' is quite the thing among the hopefuls, said Pegeen. Talk about latest rages, said Gin, Have you been to one of Claire O ' Hara ' s parties lately? Why yes, answered Pegeen, only last night I attended her eighth coming-out party for Deborah Harrison, but Deb still spurns all offers. Frances McCarthy ' s all-male orchestra played — her only requirement for membership seems to be that all the men be six feet two and three- fourths inches tall. Whenever Claire thought the party was getting musty she did tricks on the chandelier. Begorra what time is it? exclaimed Tom. I must tune in on Joe Homicki ' s broadcast if I ' m going to get my column off tonight. With a turn of the dial on his wrist-radio, Tom flooded the room with the stentorian tones of J. J. Homicki reporter extraordinaire. ;mcl we sincerely regret that our guest speaker, Miss Marcclle Leverault, world-renowned authority on International Relations will not be with us this evening. Her presence was urgently i quired in Washington. CLASS PROPHECY-Continued And now with the news. The Misses Connolly and Fisher scored another staging success last night when they introduced their newest creation for the theater, cellophane curtains. This eliminates the necessity of raising and lowering the curtain. You will remember that last year their ingenuity resulted in having the spotlight played on the audience instead of the actors to facilitate craning. ' Whistle, whistle and a yoo-hoo! Dorothy Millot our foremost woman athlete has just reached the Washington Highway on her cross-hemisphere sprint. You should remember that the Washington Highway was constructed by Pauline Olsen who is now at work on a bridge that will span the Panama Canal. Cecile Carme and Hazel Van Wert have just announced the closing of their Dates If You ' ll Wait Bureau. Both of these resourceful enterprisers will not disclose their future plans. Matrimony? Could be, could be. And now a word for our sponsor, stout fellow, President Wilson, of the Wilson Rapid Bus Transit Line. He recently disclosed his special rates for the Westfield Limited — That does it, said Tom. I ' m all set. Yes, accused Gin, but I ' ve missed the Somnambulists. Whats that? queried Tess. You remember Mary FiuMauncc, Helen Schindler and Mary Lyons — those ex-Hawleyites? They ' ve composed a trio that makes a specialty of singing babies to sleep for harassed mothers. Very soothing. As good as an aspirin any day. did you ever finish that course at the Giuditta-Fowler Terpsichorean No, said Peg. I still have another lesson on John Shea ' s inspiration — The Jungle Jump. You should sec me lead Marshmallow Fluff around in that number. Tom (good-humoredly), Did I understand you to say that you led him around? Naturally, men do not lead women at their place. The women lead and why shouldn ' t they? Well if you must discuss the arts, said Tom, nobly ignoring the possibilities of this remark, here are some bits from our copy department that might interest you! Peggy Lucey and Ruth Gorham have become art models in Greenwich Village for Miss Lusk who has settled there. Her latest efforts have produced Sunset in the Morning . And then there ' s Mae Kieliszek, who has accumulated some capital and who hires the Metropolitan Opera House every Saturday night and gives a concert for her friends. Eileen Garvey is her press agent and is playing up the ec- centric widow angle. Mae is assured an audience with Garve hustling about. She always was good at getting a crowd together. Yes, said Pegeen, I hear she even tried to get Myrtle Washington and Penelope Parent, who are living in Old Lyme, Connecticut, to come down last Saturday night. Those two recluses live on adjoining farms and Penelope raises children, thorough-bred children while Myrt raises adorable horses. The logs on the fire burned low as the conversation and remembrances gradually grew thin — which situation reminded Tom that he had to see Frankie Bell, or rather hear him, because Tom remarks as he protestingly prepares to take his departure, I ' ve got to write a report of that veddy eminent astronomist ' s lecture. Please stop me from making an awful pun about Frankie ' s im- pertinence and seeing stars. The tentative promises being made — to be broken — and the ta-tas over, Tom whipped off, set up his elevator; down he went and climbed into his flying machine. As he was taking off he saw a sign on a nearby building. The sign? It read: Timothy Joseph Edmund Bu rns, Construc- tion Company. Well, well, said Tom, what d ' ya know? Tim used to spend his time tearing things down at Westfield and now he ' s building them up. [57] [58] ]unior Class Directory Mary E. Adams 38 Chapel Street, Westfield Class Treasurer . . .
