THERESA J. LAMMERS PRESIDENT OF THE STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE AT WESTFIELD fc % (Mass of 1951 We hold these truths to be self-evident: That all men are — endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, — among these are — the pursuit of happiness. Over what devious paths is she pursued! There is an Oriental legend of an Arab who, unhappy and discontented, sold his barren lands and went abroad to seek a fortune. The years of his life he spent roaming the earth in fruitless quest. Near its close, baffled and penniless, he returned to the old home site. There, to his amazement, he learned that he had sold, those long years ago, virtually ACRES OF DIAMONDS! May you Teachers, one and all, as you graduate from these portals and go forth into the world, seek the enduring values of life, cherish the memory of the Home Site, with its steadfast Mount Tekoa, silent guardian of Westfield and its river valley, and find happiness. Your ever true friend and disciple of Horace Mann, sharing the honor of graduation with your class, y€gyC6 C4 C ZZ Erna M. Bayless, B.S. 117 Hampden Street West Springfield, Mass.

Some of the achievements of the Student Council this past year were : the Student Council Prom, the Halloween Party, the Get-Acquainted Party, joining the N. S. A., formation of the Student Court, an amendment which made the editor-in-chief of Westek a member of the Student Council, placing of Council pictures on the walls, the listing of new socials, Student Government Conferences at Keene (N.

Held in the fall this year, the Club ' s annual Fashion Show was a colorful and popular event. The Art Club participated readily in the preparation of make-up, staging, and costuming for the school ' s Christmas play. A sale of stamp purses and match covers was held this year to raise funds for the Club. ti M (Eammuier (EJidb President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Peter Clarke ' 52 Irene Letellier ' 53 Beverly Mulville ' 54 William Stacy ' 52 With the election and installation of new officers, the Commuter ' s Club chose as its chief 1950-51 project, the making of the Rec Room into a place that would be a credit to the College. First, a snack bar, for the use of the entire student body, was set up; then came the purchase and erection of booths and tables accommodating about thirty students; next, fireproof plastic drapes were hung, and, lastly, a Student Court composed of five members of the Freshman class was given the job of keeping the room clean and quiet. Much credit is due the Student Court, the Student Council, Professor Wallace, and the Interior Decorating Committee headed by Phyllis O ' Leary. •©tckmstftt |Mali President Vice-President Treasurer Secretary Stewardesses Faculty Adviser Housemothers Maureen Toomey ' 51 Ruth Chmura ' 52 Muriel Swift ' 52 Joan Shaughnessy ' 51 Ann Harrington ' 51 Marjorie Sims ' 54 Professor Tobey Mrs. MacDonald Mrs. Wesson This year, the dormitory girls welcomed into their group a new housemother, Mrs. Wesson, who, working with the Dorm Council, has done a commendable job. The first dance, Campus Capers, was held in the school auditorium in October and was widely acclaimed as one of the best social functions of the year. An innovation was the Campus Caperettes, Dickinson Hall ' s publicity crew, who sang a solemn ditty to herald in the dance. The spirit of the traditional Christmas party matched the season of good cheer and hearty wishes. Caroling, the presentation of gifts by St. Nick, and refreshments were highlights of the evening. Another dorm event, successful gastronomically and socially, was the picnic held in April. % n Oliub President Vice-President Librarian Manager Director Bernice Sears ' 53 Phyllis Paradysz ' 52 Patricia Keane ' 52 Richard Giovino ' 53 Mrs. Seymour The Glee Club at Westfield State Teachers College is both a social and a musical organization. It is hoped that the musical aspect, the study and performance of good music, will continue to be of primary importance. As a contribution to the serious side of the club, a cantata, named A Mystery for Christmas, by Howard D. McKinney, was presented at Christmas-time. Socially, less serious musical activities were presented under student leadership. (§ oibm m COM President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer Program Chairman Publicity Faculty Adviser Barbara Prince ' 52 Alice Milligan ' 52 Katherine Pilon ' 52 Margaret Egan ' 52 Professor Conlin A traditional tea marked the first gathering of 1950 ' s many Golden Key Club members. Held in Dickinson Hall, the group was again honored to have Professor F. S. Conlin as its adviser. A program was worked out whereby several informative and interesting experiences were made possible: a reading by Professor Walter E. Prince of Shakespeare ' s Romeo and Juliet, a movie on the life of the Great Bard, and a talk on Emily Dickinson by Dr. Mildred Prince. A significant contribution to the club ' s progress this year was the formation of a Constitution and By-Laws to be in effect September, 1951.

The Annual Tea was held in November, at which Miss Louise Burke of East- hampton, an exchange teacher in England last year, was guest speaker. The club sponsored an assembly and many informal discussions. A trip to Europe was enjoyed at one meeting through the medium of colored movies. Members frequently attended Foreign Policy Association meetings in Spring- field. Three delegates also attended the Annual Regional Conference held during December in Montreal, Canada. A visit to the United Nations gave all a greater knowledge of the important mission that the organization is trying to fulfill. The year came to a close with a picnic at Stanley Park. ftmtatt (Eltdb President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Publicity Chairman Chaplain Mary Rooney ' 51 Regina Garvey ' 51 Katherinc Pilon ' 52 Daniel Rust ' 51 Mary O ' Donnell ' 53 Rev.

Outstanding events of the club ' s program this year were: a discussion on Life in a Modern World, by Rev. Father Carberry; a talk on the Churches of Europe by Miss Louise Burke of Easthampton; a film on the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and a Christmas Party. The club ended its activities with the traditional Communion Breakfast in May.

At this time, Mr. C. A. Sween and Mr. F. J. Logandice of the General Electric Company presented the entertaining, mystifying, and educational Hou se of Magic. Other club activities of the year included ' tours of the Westfield Manufacturing Company, Westfield State Sanatorium, Westfield Water Works, and the Westfield Fire Department; excursions to the Barney Institute and Museum of Natural History at Springfield, and a trip to the Smith College Observatory at Northampton.

During the past year, the members were very fortunate to have as their adviser, the Reverend Edward Hayes, pastor of the Russell Union Church in Russell. One of the outstanding activities of the year was a candlelight communion service in December. Other types of programs consisted of films, speakers and a panel discussion on Boy-Girl Relationships. zshk Editor-in-Chief Assistant News Editor Literary Editor Sports Editors Features Editor Business Manager Social Editor Typist Ruth Chmura ' 52 Phyllis O ' Leary ' 52 Marion Coach ' 53 Margaret Egan ' 52 William Stacy ' 52 Shirley Laughran ' 53 Constance Palmer ' 52 Robert Foley ' 52 Elinor Fitzgerald ' 53 Mary Drohan ' 52 WESTEK, the monthly student publication at Westfield State Teachers College, celebrated its fifth birthday this year. Since its origin in 1946, WESTEK has maintained its policy of recording the activities of the students and faculty to the interest of our college and of other colleges to which it is sent. With an enlargement in size, a new heading (the Massachusetts State Seal and its name in Old English lettering) and with a diligent staff of writers, WESTEK has an important place in our college life.

Two members of the Council represented Westfield at the annual W. A. A. Conference at North Adams. Sports in which members of W. A. A. participate in are : hockey, basketball, bowling, swimming, softball, tennis, and minor sports. Besides having a varied sports program, W. A. A. has a diversified social schedule in which they sponsor the annual assembly in spring, the basketball supper, May Day, and the Host Group at the Christmas Banquet. |Iot JVtijkitc JWanaium President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer General Manager Publicity Faculty Adviser John Morris ' 52 Joseph DeFeo ' 51 John Dowd ' 52 Richard Giovino ' 53 Francis Smith ' 51 Carl Tripp ' 52 Professor Welch This year a new policy was adopted by the Men ' s Athletic Association in regard to intraclass sports. Not being able to support a varsity football team, it was decided to have interclass touch football. Before an overflowing crowd, the Juniors defeated the Sophomores in the deciding game. The Juniors were awarded 1952 numerals in recognition of winning the championship. The varsity basketball team had another successful season. Most of last year ' s men were back, with the addition of several outstanding Freshmen. Realizing that the varsity basketball team could carry only thirteen men, the M. A. A. also promoted interclass basketball. It ' s a pleasure to see the girl students following their class and supporting their team. Varsity men were not allowed to play. Numerals were awarded to the winners. In the spring we enjoyed a successful baseball season. Jaaktball M. A. A. 1950-1951 Varsity Team Basketball Supper W. A. A.
