To you goes the honor of being the first class to be graduated from the new State Teachers College at Westfield. With this honor goes the responsibility to equal and to strive to exceed the successes of those who went before you.

I wish you God-speed in your every undertaking. Edward J. Scanlon President ' ■■ ' ■ ; ' ..• DEDI CATION DR. CORRIDAN In dedicating this, our Tekoa, to DR. BARBARA CORRIDAN, we, the Class of 1957, realize how inadequately it expresses our appreciation for all that she has done for us during our four years at Westfield. Her help to us in our undertakings both in the classroom and on the campus will be gratefully remembered by all. :S ' r r Tiv.V At the foothills of the Berkshires, Reared against the sky; Stands our Alma Mater, Mount Tekoa tow ' ring nigh! a -v-sr iy 0 o XS ' v : PT i§l Hcflrf w film 1 ■ ' !

The lasting and crowning privilege of friendship is constancy. Joining us in 1955, Leo will best be remembered for his untiring efforts as President of our senior class. We shall always be grateful to him for his coopera- tion in our many class projects. Who will forget that easy blush and pleasant manner? With his sincerity and ready wit, Leo will un- doubtedly be a fine teacher and a credit to our college. Class President 4; M. A.

CLUNE 120 Rimmon Avenue Chicopee, Mass. A woman ' s strength is most potent when robed in gentleness. The class of ' 57 will always be grateful to Mary for her untiring efforts to make our Tekoa a yearbook of which we can be proud. We all admire her grace and poise. Serene, and with a sincerity rarely found, she leaves us with a feeling of warmth for having known her.

Another one of our lucky classmates who got her MRS. before her B. S. in Education. Lovely Shirley will long be remembered as our stately May Queen. An eager and amiable student, Shirley often added interesting information to the classroom discussions. Her versatility as shown in the conscientious efforts as class secretary and housewife will be looked upon with pride by the entire class. Student Fellowship J, 2; May Day 1, Queen 3; W. A.

PARADYSZ 213 East Mountain Road Westfield, Mass. Peace rules the day, where wisdom rules the mind. A stately manner characterizes our efficient class treasurer. Ellie ' s ability to apply herself during her leisure time will long be admired by her fellow class- mates. Able fingers working ingeniously at a sweater, socks, or rug will help El lie at her future domestic duties. Our Ellie is, indeed, a mature and responsible person.

BATES A bit of nonsense now and then is relished by the wisesf men. Digger ' s liabilities as a schoolboy turned out to be assets in training, and the terror of the training school proved himself to be a capable teacher. Combining the responsibilities of a family with those of a student, Digger never lost his sense of humor. His industriousness and practical mind point to a promising future in teaching. M.A.A. 7, 2, 3, 4; Commuters ' Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Alter Natus Club 1. JACQUELINE BEDARD 132 Marsden Street Springfield, Mass. Histories make men wise; poets, witty; the mathematics, subtle; natural philosophy, deep; morals, grave; logic and rhetoric, able to contend. Jackie is noted for winning the Time magazine current events prize our sophomore year. Dates, authors, and titles of books are always at her fingertips. Jackie ' s keen interest in science and math, and her nsistence on accuracy and thoroughness will assure her of a promising future in the teaching profession.

BISHOP 94 Crane Avenue Westfield, Mass. It were not best that we should oil think alike; it is difference of opinion that makes horse races. Companionable and conversational, Ted has gained much respect and admiration from his fellow classmates. Always ready with a bit of wit, he can be depended upon to add interest to the dullest of conversations. With the courage to defend his convictions, Ted will be rewarded with success. M.A.A. ?, 2, 3, 4; Commuters ' Club 1, 2, 3, 4. ELEANORA V. BLASCAK 15 Avery Street Westfield, Mass. A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance. Eleanor ' s easy disposition has enabled her to be a friend to everyone. Our El , who is always busy doing something, has accomplished great things in the Com- muters ' Club. With her warm smile, expressive eyes, and winning way with children, Eleanor will have a rich and reward- ing career as a teacher. Newman Club 1, 2, 3, 4; W. A.

RICHARD H. BOURBEAU 194 Whitney Avenue Holyoke, Mass. He that inquires much, learns much. Bourb has that rare quality which enables him to make every task a pleasure. A man of diversity, Dick somehow finds time to harmonize his school with his social activities. A nonchalant air masks a serious individual who loves discussions whether they be in the Rec Room or in the classroom. Here is a man, true to his own convictions. Transfer from Holyoke Junior College. M. A. A. 2, 3, 4; May Day Supper 2, 3; Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Science Club 2; Intramural Basketball 3; Intramural Volleyball 4; Newman Club 3, 4; F. T.

Court Street Q J - ... I LAURENCE N. BRADY Westfield, Mass. The great effects come from industry and perseverance. A quiet disposition and clever wit combine to make Larry ' s pleasing personality. An individual who likes to work with children, Larry should be a valuable addition to our profession. A sincere student, as well as one of our married men, he gained respect of his fellow students. Transfer from Bridgewater, 1956. M. A. A. 3, 4; Commuters ' Club 3, 4. SHIELA J. BRAY 53 West Main Street Ware, Mass. Her mind is like a sundial; if records only pleasantness. Thoughtfulness and consideration of others are qualities which make Shiela a nice person to know. Her easy-going disposition has enabled her to be a friend to all of us. Her wisdom and professional manner are worth imitating. Shiela has been an outstanding leader both in and out of the classroom. A lucky class, indeed, that gets our Shiela.

A quick smile, a willing hand, and a sparkling dis- position typify Jean, who always can be credited with a job well done. Jean ' s presence was certainly a bright addition to dormitory life. Her ability to mix academic and social activities in just the right proportion holds promise of future achievement.

BUSH 97 Narragansett Street Willimansett, Mass. Her presence in a room is as bright as the noonday sun. Meticulous in dress, attained by her adeptness with a needle and thread, combined with her efficiency in work, will make Alice a great credit to her two vocations. Though she may appear to be quiet, Alice has a sense of humor which can be readily aroused. A great combination will be our Alice and her Don.

Jerry, another of our married members, was willing and helpful whenever asked for assistance in class projects. A family man, Jerry worked after school but still managed to keep college subjects foremost in his mind. Always a gentleman, Jerry will be remembered with pride by his classmates.

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. Here is living proof that the best things come in small packages. Dotty will be long remembered for her accomplishments in connection with Westek, Student Council, and as a cheerleader. Her charming person- ality leaves no doubt that some lucky class of children will love its teacher!

CAROLINE M. CHISTOLINI 255 East Mountain Road Westfield, Mass. Grace has been defined, the outward expression of the inward harmony of the soul. An efficient and willing worker in all our class proj- ects, Caroline shines in her sincerity. She has left us a memorable record of our class history, done with the same efficiency and dependability that she employs in all her tasks. She possesses wisdom and a professional manner that is well worth imitating. Her wonderful way with children will give her many years of success in teaching.

CHMIELEWSKI 56 South Westfield Street Feeding Hills, Mass. Enthusiasm is the genius of sincerity and truth accomplishes no victories without it. Bernie ' s blonde hair, charming personality, and friendly smile will not be forgotten. Her impeccable taste in dress and her artistic inclinations are to be envied. Conscientiousness and poise, together with patience and versatility, should insure success in teach- ing for one so deserving. That talent of hers should provide very stimulating motivation for her classes.

COWAN 8 Dudley Avenue Westfield, Mass. Common sense is instinct, and enough of it is genius. Lydia has never hesitated to lend a helping hand to class projects. Always ready with a smile or that infectious laugh, she has been a source of cheer on many occasions. Our red-head from Maine, asking so little, giving so much, certainly deserves the excellent future she will undoubtedly have. W.A.A.

DESNOYERS 72 Lincoln Avenue South Hadley Falls, Mass. An able man shows his spirit by gentle words and resolute actions. One of the most active members of the M. A. A., Ronnie has proven himself the basketball team ' s right hand man. He is well liked by all who know him, and always available when a call for help is sounded. Always ready with a bit of wit to liven up a con- versation, he can be depended upon to do his best in every situation. We will remember those friendly but devilish eyes. His sense of humor and personality will be a great asset in teaching. Class President 1; M. A.

ESTHER DIDOMENICANTONIO 27 Maple Avenue Agawam, Mass, Sensibility is the Power of woman. Meet our competent Little Miss W. A. A. ! Any- thing worth doing is worth doing well, that ' s our Dido ' s motto. Her quiet manner and happy disposition are but a few of the qualities that make Esther a pleasing person to know. Though small in stature, she stands tall in the eyes of her classmates who respect and admire her. W.A.A.

DOHERTY 181 Ingham Road Willimansett, Mass. The most manifest sign of wisdom is continual cheerfulness. Beneath a seemingly quiet surface, Pat hides a penchant for mischievous antics. Sincerity, loyalty and friendliness make Pat a nice person to know. These qualities also assure her success in the teaching field. Newman Club 7, 2, 3, 4; Freshman Girls ' Chorus; W. A.

Happiness grows at our firesides, and is not to be picked in strangers ' gardens. Josie, one of several of our classmates who hail from Hadley, seems happiest when telling us of her home there, with the bountiful fields spread out as far as the eye can see. Josie has been one of the quiet members of our class, but her industriousness and willingness to help in class projects make her a welcome and loved member of any gathering.

DUBOIS 468 Newton Street South Hadley, Mass. Grace has been defined as the outward expression of the inward harmony of the soul. A serene manner coupled with a sweet charming smile typify Joanne. Her gentle manner has a calming effect on all those about her. Her beautiful hair, shining eyes and neat appear- ance at all times will linger with us as we remember Joanne. She has shown great efficiency and persever- ance in her stay here at Westfield; she will certainly carry on the good work as she steps forward into the world of teaching. Glee Club 1, 2, Publicity Chairman 3, 4; Newman Club 7, Secretary 2. ROY R. DUQUETTE, JR. 1171 Northampton Street Holyoke, Mass. ' The more you say, the less people remember. The fewer the words, the greater the profit. Roy joined the ranks of the class of ' 57 during our junior year here at W. S. T. C. A transfer from A. I. C, Roy shows us clearly that Still water does run deep. He is always neatly and impeccably groomed, a true example of the professional man. Though a man of few words, Roy is sure to show far-reaching ability in his teaching career. Transfer from A. I. C, 1956; M. A. A. May Day 3, 4; Com- muters ' Club 3, 4. 39 DONALD W. FARR 58 Newton Street Holyoke, Mass Who dares nothing, need hope for nofhing. Don is our Mister Motivation himself, come to life. Will we ever forget those exciting lessons he taught in the sixth grade when the African headhunters them- selves came to visit? Don has shown great industriousness and efficiency in his position as President of M. A. A. As captain of the basketball team, he led our boys to esteemed recog- nition in all of the college circles in the area. WHO ' S WHO IN AMERICAN COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES; M. A. A.

LUCILLE A 1. FERRARINI 89 Reed Street Agawam, Mass. The heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, or the hand to execute. Ability and understanding keynote Lucille who is always willing to lend her capable hand to any task. Though petite in stature, she secured excellent re- sults as editor-in-chief of Westek, and president of Student Council.

Gradually, however, we became accustomed to the college routine, and the members of the Class of 1960 began to feel at home. Freshmen elections, held at the beginning of the second semester, helped everyone to get acquainted. Those elected were Charles Smith, President; Patricia McGrath, Vice-President; Barbara Ann Brandoli, Secretary; Judy Tyler, Treasurer; Edward Trzcienski, Publicity Chairman; Judy McCarthy, Historian; and Student Representatives, Tom Hagan and Bob Whitman.

This year, under the direction of Miss Catherine Dower, the Glee Club participated in such major activi- ties as the Dedication Exercises of the new college, the Christmas Cantata, the Spring Concert, and the Com- mencement Exercises. Two new musical groups were organized within the past year. They were the TEKOA LIEDERMEN and the MADRIGAL GROUP. Their purpose was to entertain at social activities within the college and to help gain more recognition on behalf of the college by performing for various civic groups in the area. Engagements during the year included Westfield Women ' s Club, Easthampton Women ' s Club, Y Auxiliary and the Kiwanis Club of Westfield.

This year, under the guidance of Prof. Hagan, the club ' s enrollment was a record-breaking 150 members. The activities of the association include inter- class basketball, volleyball, softball, and touch football. Club members also work hand in hand with our varsity basketball and baseball teams by taking care of the necessary arrange- ments before each game. In addition to the athletic program, M. A. A. sponsored the fourth annual May Day Supper, variety show and dance. An assembly program was presented in the fall, and a Pan American film entitled, Wings to Germany was shown. The future, we know, will bring more athletic glory to the college, and with it a chance to become better acquainted with the other New England Colleges through a sound athletic program. Officers included Donald W. Farr, President; George Welliver, Vice-President; Philip Dickin- son, Treasurer; Robert Ayers, Assistant Treas- urer; and Ronald Desnoyers, Secretary. OFFICERS: Donald Farr, President; Philip Dickinson, Robert Ayers, Ronald Desnoyers, Leo Rioux, Richard Guertin, George Welliver. 81 PUBLICATIONS w E S T E K A group of the people responsible for getting the News — the staff. Editors — Janet Willard, Richard Lagimonier, Caroline Bartlett, Richard Guertin, Veronica Koziol. In 1957, WESTEK was faced with the problem of moving onto a new campus and meeting the demands of an expanded enrollment. Pro- fessor Wayne M. Holmes was appointed Faculty Adviser and Richard H. Guertin was selected Editor. The new college surroundings were re- flected in WESTEK as many changes had to be made in the style of publication to capture the modern trend in vogue. The banner head was made smaller and more streamlined. More photographs and mats were used. Articles on music, movies, books, fashions, and club activi- ties became more exte nsive. More em- phasis was given to Student Government activities. Greater space was devoted to our expanding athletic program. WESTEK owes much of its progress to the class of 1957. The spaces vacated by such staff members as Veronica Koziol, Janet Willard, Jean Broderick, Eleanor Paradysz, Marilyn Keane, and Esther Didomenicantonio will be very noticeable. Janet Willard and Sheila Kelly burning the midnight oil to beat a deadline. 82 T E K O A Tekoa Staff meeting in action with Editor-in-Chief, Mary Clune, conducting The prospect of producing the first yearbook at our new college contributed to the development of novel ideas and special planning by this year ' s TEKOA staff. Our photography staff played a major part in the 1957 publication and the business staff ingeniously uncovered new means of revenue. In keeping with the transition from the old to the new, TEKOA ' s staff decided to present a graphic production of this change. Mary Clune, acted as editor-in-chief and was ably assisted by business manager, Esther Didomenicantonio; photography manager, Norma Thibodean; literary editor, Marilyn Keane; makeup editors Barbara Squazza and Joan Jasmin; and assistant editor, Frances O ' Connor. Jane Newsome, Marjorie Magovern, June Savoy and Muriel Monaghan also aided the cause. Dr. Goldstein was adviser. A TEKOA Staff meeting.

Professors Farring- ton, Maris and Taylor contributed invaluable help. The two one-act plays, under student di- rection, resulted from a Dramatic Workshop. Officers included Betsy Ramsey, President; Julie Geryk, Secretary; and Luanne Berg- mann, Treasurer. Several members of the club were in- stalled into Delta Psi Omega, a national dramatic society. These students had to demonstrate ability in various phases of dramatics in order to be accepted.

During the past year such activities as a buffet supper with a program of colored slides, a speaker from the photographic section of the Air National Guard, trips to Stanley Park and the Old Colony Envelope Company, and hobby groups in photography and chemistry were undertaken. The latter groups worked independently under the sponsorship of Mr. Taylor and Dr. Genua for several weeks and then presented programs for the whole club.

This club, with Mrs. Wallace as adviser, is recog- nized as an outstanding service organization in the college. An excellent example of the type of social activity sponsored by the club was the Winter Carnival. The three-day affair which began on Friday evening with a basketball game and an informal dance was followed on Saturday evening by a formal dance at the Highland Hotel. Other services of the Commuters Club this year included the acquisition of ping-pong equipment for the new game room and additional furniture for the Rec Room. President Eleanora Blascak, Secretary Richard Bourbeau, and Treasurer Herbert Fitzell are to be congratulated for their efforts in making the year a successful one.

To be successful, a student counselor must possess certain personal qualities such as maturity, social competence, physical and emotional fitness, and sensitivity to the attitudes and feelings of other people. To function effectively, the student counselor must have certain abilities. First, he must show evidence of scholarship — a counselor should set an example in scholarship and study habits. In addition, he must be able to express himself well, and organize his time, ideas, and activities. All of these qualities of leadership are necessary if the student counselor is to achieve the following objectives of his position: 1) Give direction, meaning, and depth to the college experience of the entering student; 2) Serve as an effective agent in such areas as planning activities, answering questions about college life and contributing to a sound environment for the development of the values and attitudes of the first-year student. :=; 1 il H t «  • yf M 91 COUNSELORS include Garwood Whitney, Joanne Cote, Luanne Bergmann, Judith Sikes, Sandra Fagnani, Charles Walton, Richard Moore, Carol Ward, Arlene Egbert, Gregory Diliberto, Judith Bailey, Mrs. Mildred David, William Drohan. m? 94 Activities 95 JOAN JASMIN and JANET WILLARD decorating the tree.

Fortunately the sun shone and balmy breezes graced the procession and crowning of May Day Queen, Shirley Rodgers. Marching in the procession with her were her maids of honor Paula Nolan and Mary Clune. Maids in waiting were Elaine Childs, Frances Willard, Carol Naughton and Peggy Clune. Flower girl was Mary Carol Roberts; Ann Cavanaugh was crown bearer. Pages were Betsey Ramsey and Mildred Spaulding; the jester, Pat Saletnik.
