WESTFIELD STATE COLLEGE 3 0386 0025 9467 6 Qfyt ®efeoa is tate GTeacijers College at OTegtfteib, Jflteacfjusette 1945 Dedication In grateful appreciation of her understanding and co-operation, enlivened by a fine sense of humor, the class of 1945 dedicates the Tekoa to MISS MARTHA M. TOBEY, M. A. [5] PRESIDENT OF THE STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE AT WESTF1ELD [6] Charge to the Class of 1945 OUR years ago you entered this institution V_ when it was being widely proclaimed by un- %_x thinking people that there was a surplus of teachers. As a matter of fact there never was a sur- plus of well trained teachers. The fact that many college graduates who had not been professionally trained were seeking teaching positions and in many instances receiving appointments, did not give us a surplus of teachers but merely a surplus of candidates who were seeking and willing to accept teaching positions. Today this has all been changed. The teacher shortage has assumed dangerous proportions. As a result you may find yourself teaching in many in- stances in communities where some of the teaching personnel may not be fully acquainted with the sound educational practices of today. You will, therefore, not only have to perform your duties in a superior manner but in such a way that others may look to you for guidance, and your work held up to others for emulation. A great army of Westfield graduates has made its mark on the teaching profession. It is for you to strengthen this tradition by superior teaching. Alma Mater is sending you forth adequately prepared. She is looking to you to produce dividends in the form of well educated youth for a democratic society. [7] tin bo u College Faculty ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF Edward J. Scanlon, M.Ed., President J.

Norma Bowen Regina Wise Olga Agras Williamina Stewart Eugenia Keough [51] Class Prophecy Fifth Avenue, New York City, was especially busy one Saturday morning. The little bell tinkled as Mary O ' Leary and Jean Keough, from Holyoke, Massachusetts, entered Puppy ' s Paradise. Oh, Jean, said Mary, is this Sheila McDonnell ' s pet shop? I hope so, replied Jean. The number and name of this shop correspond to those given in the directory. Look, there ' s Sheila now. Won ' t she be surprised? Immediately there was a chorus of Hello ' s and How are you ' s. Well, girls, remarked Sheila, it ' s been a long time since I ' ve seen any of our classmates with the exception of Sis McCarthy who was in New York last month to buy knick-knacks. What? A trip to New York just for knick-knacks! exclaimed Mary with surprise. Oh heavens, no, answered Sheila. She is proprietress of Curio Corner, a little shop located at State and Wait Streets in Pensacola, Florida. Well, I feel a little relieved, said Mary. How did she look? She looked and felt like a million dollars and wanted to be remembered to all of you. I didn ' t think then that I ' d be conveying her message to you so soon, Sheila added. What do you know of the whereabouts of the other members of the class of ' 45? queried Sheila. Just now Olga Agras is president of a bank, and in her leisure time, if you don ' t mind, she ' s writing a sequel to he r old stand-by, A Tree Crows in Brooklyn. I get a letter from her oc- casionally, but only occasionally, Jean sighed. I know what we can do now, Sheila suggested. Norma Bowen is a mattress-tester in Bonwit Teller ' s display window. Why don ' t we ride up and give her a big wave? I ' d love to, Jean and Mary chorused. Outside the display window, the girls pressed their faces against the glass, vainly trying to attract the attention of their reclining classmate. Now wouldnt you think Norm would see us? Mary grumbled. Oh, I forgot, Sheila apologized. Norma is expected to sleep there eight hours a day. She loves her work and feels she is making up for all the sleep she lost during her college days when she had such an abundance of studying to do. Let ' s take my car back to your shop, and on the way, we can talk about what everyone else is doing these days, suggested Jean. I meant to say something on the way up about that car. It ' s a beauty — and a Cadillac too! ' admired Sheila. You must be in a thriving business! She ' s our F.B.I, agent. A full-fledged detector of grand larcenists, said Mary, grinning. Surprised, aren ' t you, Sheila? It takes a crook to catch a crook you know. Remember the good old days when anything lost could always be found in my locker? We used to have such fun. Jean sighed and glanced at the steering wheel with a nostalgic expression, almost as if she wished the shining car would turn into the dim old locker room, with its cluttered umbrella stand and its blacked-out windows. In a moment, however, the mood passed, and she turned smilingly to her companions. Let ' s snap on the radio and see if we can get some news. The radio crackled, and then a voice was heard saying, . . . You have just listened to the news, brought to you from station WNYC in New York. We take you now to Russia for a special broadcast from Williamina Stewart, meteorologist stationed at Verkhoyansk, Siberia. Listen, girls! Sh! ' AH Alone and Lonely ' , sang Winnie as her theme song. Following the song, she gave a weather forecast during which she announced that her instruments had recorded a temperature at Verkhoyansk of ninety-nine degrees below zero — several degrees below the previous record. It brings back memories of frigid mornings in the Training School Library, Mary remin- isced. How Winnie hated the cold. Back at Puppy ' s Paradise , the girls sat down for tea — still thinking of food, as in the days of 1945. Surely someone must know about the rest of the class. Isn ' t Elaine Willard here in the Big City? asked Jean. [52 ' CLASS PROPHECY — Continued That reminds me Sheila replied Elaine called this morning and wants me to look over some of her sketches. She s writing and illustrating a book about dogs for children I like dogs and know many species, so I may be able to help her. Wait— if that clock is right, she ought to be along any minute. Let s watch for her and surprise her. The girls agreed, but before they could hide themselves, Elaine herself, was seen hurrying up the sidewalk accompanied by a dark-haired young woman who looked strangely familiar: Look! shouted Jean. Am I dreaming? No, it is — it is . . . Is whol interrupted Sheila impatiently. Madeline McGrail! Can ' t you see? Why so it is . . . Hello, Elaine. How are you? And Madeline! What on earth are you doing here. ' You re supposed to be on the west coast. I know, but I came out on a business trip, and say!— I met Gene Wise in St. Louis After her experience with newspaper work in sixth grade at CTS, she ' s been made editor of the St Madeline ding her bike ' dellverin g Papers, said You might know, laughed Mary. But what are you doing, yourself, Mad? Oh haven ' t you heard? She ' s a saleswoman for Red Cross shoes, ' an aid to easier walking ' in Elaine Her motto, mind you, is ' Keep Your Feet on the Ground ' . Isn ' t that different put from the toppling Mad we used to know? Elaine you certainly lived up to your potentialities of college days, when you used to make those original posters for social events, didn ' t you? asked Madelir ine. Yes, and I m so happy she replied. Oh, by the way, I heard from Ann Sullivan recently and she said that, as a result of her happy experience in the WAVES, she ' s head mistress of a nautical shop on the Cape. And Penny Pomeroy asked for you all in her letter this morning Shes back at the American Optical Company as a receptionist and is giving lectures to new employees on wearing conservative clothes to interviews. Isn ' t that funny? giggled Mary. It brings back the days when Penny used to wear her turtle neck sweater to be interviewed by superintendents. Wasn ' t Mr Merrill impressed when she walked into Ethics class with it on after all his prompting? chuckled Jean. You haven ' t told us what you ' re doing, Mary, exclaimed Madeline. Why not pour forth? . .. ' ' You remember how I loved to travel? Perhaps as a result, I am the successful owner of the Season House m the White Mountains, a nd of a branch in Seabreeze, Florida. In my busi- ness, 1 really have to travel! The girls chatted on for some time, and in the course of the afternoon went on to tell how- Mary Lovett is Commissioner of Parks and Recreation in Springfield, Massachusetts, adding that she gave a course to the younger set, entitled, How to Cook and Help Mother at Home - Vivian Marsh is running a ranch out in California, and works extensively on her latest creations- Millie Dwyer is managing a bus line from Huntington to Westheld, and is trying to have cafeteria service installed in each bus; and Alice Carbonneau is doing a fine business on her chicken farm in Southampton The girls who had recently heard from Alice wanted to impress upon the others that she supplies all the food for W.A.A. suppers. No more chicken worries for W.A.A. now! ... c ' „ F o°™ what l ha Y i 1 1 ear , d today - each of us has made ° ut qu ' te well, since graduating from W.S. l.C, commented Sheila. So we have, said Mary, but, you know, I ' d feel better if I had some supper We ' ve talked tor hours. Let s go out to the ' Town and Country ' for dinner. ■ i Th x, tS the smar , test suggestion I ' ve heard in a long time, cried Elaine. Come on 1 We ' ll pick up Norma on the way. She should be awake by now. Once more, the little bell tinkled merrily as the laughing, noisy group left the pet shop in much the same fashion that once marked their exits from the College Library May the same happy spirit always go with the Class of 1945, no matter where Fate may leadthem! CLASS PROPHETS: Vivian Marsh Sheila McDonnell Mary O ' Leary Ann Sullivan [53] Autographs [56] It has been said, The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world.
