WESTFIELD STATE COLLEGE 3 0386 0025 9483 3 ■; rhi t ■ ' - TEKOA 1961 Westfield State College Westfield, Massachusetts Founded in 1839 FORE WORD We invite you to pause with us for a few brief moments while we review our past four years at Westfield. Our experiences, as they are recorded here, include growth of personality, mind, and spirit, all parts of the truly complex process of education. In four years, by means of this process, we have been transformed from a collection of varied individuals to a unified class of skilled and enthusiastic future educators. We realize that what we are now will change as we become more educated by life, but we are also aware that we laid our foundations here at Westfield. Here we took our first and most important steps. Each of us, as we become further educated by the challenges of our field in the modern world, will have cause to reflect on the educational journey recorded here. We have chosen as our theme for Tekoa 1961, Education . . . Now and Tomorrow, the education of experience and of books. We hope that in these pages we have adequately presented a record that will remain long after our memories have faded. REFLECTIONS . . . When we, the class of 1961, passed through this gateway for the first time, we were bound only by a common numeral. Class spirit was merely a vague notion that we had just begun to consider. Four years of living and experiencing together have given the expression, concrete meaning for us. We are now a class in fact and not merely on paper. Ours is a class bound together by a rare amount of enthusiasm. It is enthusiasm often expressed in a reserved and constructive way, and often in a spontaneous and frivilous way. It can be heard in the roar of a sports car, cheers from the baseball fields, animated conversation echoing through the lecture hall. Here in the quiet beauty of our campus, we have formed lasting bonds of friendship, satisfied our thirst for knowledge, realized our professional goal, and gained many invaluable lifetime experiences. These experiences form a volume bound with a cover of memory — a cover colored by the feel of warm Indian summer breezes, and the particular fragrance of pines in spring. In years to come, when others look back upon the class from the outside, at the written records and academic achievments, perhaps it will not show up as strongly as the classes that came before and after it. They will probably mark only those indi- viduals who were outstanding in some respect. Our class has its share of these persons. But we ourselves will remember the class as a strong unit. We will remember with pride how we worked together to make of much diversity, the unity that sustained us in all of our undertakings — the harmony that will always bind us — the spirit of 1961. PRESIDENTS MESSAGE a EDWARD J. SCANLON This is both a sad and unwelcomed occasion for me. It marks the culmination of twenty-two years of service to our college as its president and the completion of my active duties. The time has come to take my leave and give over the unfinished business to other hands. It is with a nostalgic feeling that I take this leave, but it is also with a feeling of unalloyed joy at having accomplished much. To all — students, faculty, the clerical and maintenance force, and alumni — I wish to extend my deepest appreciation for their unselfish and cooperative spirit in all my undertakings. Without this I could have accomplished nothing. I fondly hope to see the day when the plans formulated for the expansion of our college are brought to fruition — the new dormitories, classroom buildings, Campus Training School, Student Union, and a residence for the college president. You, the Class of 1961, I am sure, will take its place alongside the other alumni in bringing this about as well as bringing to the youth of the state and nation the benefits of the splendid training you have received on this new campus which has had for its very purpose the preparation necessary to build a strong and loyal citizenry capable of resolving the problems of their times. And as you go through life doing always for others remember that, Our lives are measured by the deeds we do, The Thoughts we think, the objects we pursue. Good luck and God speed. Edward J. Scanlon -t C y- Lxrrty ] President. DEDICA TION MISS HELEN PETERS We, the class of 1961, have been noted for our firsts at West- field: the first ring ceremony, the first cap and gown ceremony, and the first Halloween Hop. We feel that these successes would have been impossible without the help and guidance of our choice for Westfield ' s first lady, Miss Helen Peters. As our first lady, Miss Peters has shown a sincere interest in each of us individually and has been our champion in our various class endeavors. We feel that she typifies the model teacher; she has found the secret of combining intelligence and wisdom with a cheerful gre- gariousness and a sincere interest in people. In appreciation for her guidance and help, we, the class of 1961, dedicate our Tokoa to Miss Helen Peters. May this token of our grati- tude, however humble, become a lasting reminder to her of our deep appreciation and respect. MRS. CECELIA SEYMOUR B.S. Ed., M.Ed. Dean of Women EDWARD B. WELCH A.B., MA.

In striving toward this goal, we ourselves, learn to develop the qualities of patience, responsibility, and understanding. 72 Some of us, in reaching toward our goal, will strive to make history come alive, or show the interdependence of the world through geography . . . And some, through the use of books and literature, will stimulate the imagination and thinking of young people toward broader and higher areas. 73 Some will impress their students with the importance of mathematics in the modern day world . . . While others will bring the driving force of science into the students lives. Let each of us be all we are capable of being. 74 ORGANIZA TIONS To live is not merely to breath: it is to act; it is to make use of our organs, senses, faculties, — of all those parts of ourselves which give us the feeling of existence. STUDENT GOVERNMENT Standing, left to right: Satah Burke, Henry Padden, Linda Lehr. Sitting: Maureen Fitzgerald, Diane Marquis, Hank Wilgus. President Hank Wilgus and Secretary Sarah Burke confer on a matter of parliamentary procedure. The Student Government Association at Westfield State consists of elected officers and representatives from all classes. The main purpose of this organization is to act as a co-ordinating body between students and faculty. This year Student Government has carried on a program of critical analysis through it ' s study of necessary changes as brought up by members of Student Government and members of the student body at large. Guest speakers were invited to address the student body on timely and interesting subjects under Student Government sponsorship. Enthusiasm for the National Student Association, of which Westfield is a member, has brought about the originating of a body to handle the affairs of this organization on campus. Student Government has also been active in the social life of the college. The ever popular Student Government Weekend was held in June with almost one hundred per cent student attendance. Student Government can look back upon the year as being a very fruitful one. 76 CAMPUS PUBLICATIONS TEKOA Perhaps you have noticed numerous photographers and cameras around the campus, people bustling here and there with copy sheets, t he sound of typewriters clicking down the corridors, and the light in the student publications room burning late these past few months. All these were preparations for the annual publication of Tekoa, our Westfield State Yearbook, one of the largest single under- takings of any organization on campus. Through long hours of hard work, and the constant determination of the Tekoa staff we feel that we have made improvements and added to the quality of the yearbook to a considerable degree. We hope that you are as pleased with the results as we are. Left to right: Charlotte Meara, Ina Skolnick, Mary Pothier, Rita Gibson, Beth Scanlon, Henry Padden, Gloria Roberti.

Third Row, left to right: B. Thurston, C. Varanka, E. Julian, M. Spinelli, J. Muldoon. WESTEK Westek, the college newspaper, is a monthly edition put out by the large and capable Westek staff. Constantly striving for improvements, this hard working staff produces a school paper of which we may all be proud. The Westek prints current news on campus, stimulating editorials, original creative writings, and accounts of sports events. This year the Westek has increased to a six page edition, a valuable addition to the paper. Some pressing campus issues were tackled, and there was much discussion of these issues via Westek. The aim was always to bestow praise and blame where merited with equal impartiality. Special commendations go to Tom Cove and Rose Kirkham, Westek ' s hard working Editors, for their splendid success. CAMPUS NOTE Campus Note is a weekly publication spon- sored by Student Government. Its purpose is to inform the students of coming events and important campus functions. This year the Campus Note is in the capable hands of Co-Editors, Beth Scanlon, Maureen Bernache, and Linda Scott. 77 Left to right: Linda Scott, Beth Scanlon, Absent — Maureen Bernashe.

STUDENT COUNSELORS The change from a high school senior to a college freshman is one of the biggest transitions the new college student must make. It pre- sents a personal problem of having to change attitudes, beliefs, environment and many times a persons own self-esteem. The purpose of the Student Counselors is to help the incoming freshman to more easily become and academically integrated into the campus life of Westfield. These Student Counselors do their counseling formally through the Orientation course given for freshman, and formally they counsel the freshman for their entire first semester on campus. The Student Counselors are sopho- mores who have done out- standing work in their freshman year, and their suc- cess has been very beneficial this year as always.

Humilia Stefancik, WHO ' S WHO in AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES and COLLEGES Who ' s Who in American Universities and Colleges is a well-known organization which gives national recognition to deserving college students and provides certain services to them at their request. Each year a list of eligible candidates from the Senior class is compiled by the office and voted upon by the class. The major qualification to become a candi- date is to have maintained a 3.0 average during the four years of college. The class then votes for nine of the most deserving students. This recognition is perhaps one of the highest honors that can be obtained on campus. 78 JExfeLts t _ ' ■ T P f • John Stadnicki, Alan Peck, Rita Gibson, Frances Holston, Carolyn Pomeroy, Humilia Stefancik, Sylvia Chapin, Florence Ashwell, Carol Cody, Peter Danek, Edward Patrick. KAPPA DELTA PI In the Spring of I960 the Iota Iota Chapter of the Kappa Delta Pi, an Honor Society in Education, was established at Westfield. The purpose of this organization is to encourage high professional, intellectual, and personal standards and to recognize outstanding contributions to education. Membership requirements are that you be in the upper twenty per cent of your class academically, showed a continued interest in the field of education, and manifest desirable personal habits and leadership attributes. This year Dr. Marcella Kelley lectured to the chapter on The Role of American Educators . Five members of the chapter went to a regional conference at Plattsburg, New York which was held to celebrate the organizations fiftieth anniversary. Membership in the Kappa Delta Pi organization is one of the highest honors a Westfield student can receive. We are extremely proud to have this new organization on our campus.

O ' Malley, L. Scott, B. Allen, J. Bednaz. A sport for every girl and every girl a sport. This is the ultimate aim of the Women ' s Athletic Association. The purpose of this organization is to co-operate with the physical education department in promoting the highest physical efficiency possible in all the girls of the college, to stimulate a permanent interest in athletics, and to establish the habit of regular participation in physical recreation. W.A.A. endeavors to accomplish these purposes by providing such activities as Field Hockey, Volley Ball, Archery, Tennis, Basketball, Softball, and Badminton. The Cheerleading Squad is also under the direction of W.A.A. Every woman of the college is a member of this organization. The activities and functions of W.A.A. are presided over by W.A.A. Council, and the capable faculty advisor for W.A.A. is Miss Erna Bayless who has worked in close association with president Gert Gray. 80 Look up, young lady, look up.

The Men ' s Athletic Association is an organization whose purpose is to unite all the men on campus through athletics. This organization sponsors intra- mural games in football, basketball, and badminton. Maximum participation is their goal in these games to unite a sound mind with a physically fit and sound body. Each year M.A.A. sponsors a dance at which a Quintet Queen is crowned to reign over the basketball season. They also unite with W.A.A. to sponsor many of the other activities on campus such as May Day and the post-game social hour after each basketball game. 82 AFTER GAME SOCIALS The after game socials were begun this year to foster more friendly relations between Westfield and the other colleges against whom we play basketball. The social hour is under the joint sponsor- ship of M.A.A. and W.A.A. with members of W.A.A. serving as hostesses to the visiting team and the Westfield team. Any bad feelings which might have arisen in the game are lost in the coffee, donuts, and conversation at these socials as both the boys and the girls ' basketball teams use the social hour as a means of getting better acquainted with the visiting team. 83 RELIGIOUS Left to right: Rose Kirkham, Peg Shea, Judy Steidler, Joan Swords, Barbara Fontaine, Betsy White, Joan Frodyma, Marie Spinelli, Dave Clune, Pat O ' Brien.

The club, under the guidance of Reverand Father Leo O ' Niel, strives to correlate social and intellectual life with the spiritual life of the students of the college. On the intellectual spiritual Side, the members had the pleasure of hearing many interesting talks on various aspects of the Catholic religion by well known clergy in the area. Alson there was a Woman ' s Retreat at Our Lady of the Cenacle Convent in Middletown, Connecticut, a musical review put on jointly with St. Mary ' s High School, and Marriage and Apologetic courses in the evening for the benefit of the Student Body. In May, Newman Club held a conference on the Liturgy of the Mass attended by Newman Clubs from all over New England. On the social side, the annual Communion Dinner in co-ordination with the Mass of Thanksgiving for President Scanlon was held successfully in May. New- man Club also held it ' s usual gala Christmas and St. Patrick ' s Day festivities which were received with great enthusiasm. The great success of the club and its activities is largely due to its concentration on its ultimate goal of uniting the social, the spiritual, and the intellectual, and this success makes Newman Club a real asset to our campus. 84 GROUPS Left to tight: Ftances Holston, Janet Parket, Linda Scott, Pam Sloper, Nancy Moshet, Charlotte Meata, Judy Sasseville, Betty Thutston. STUDENT FELLOWSHIP Student Fellowship is mainly organized for the Protestants on our campus, although everyone is in- vited to attend the meetings. The club is under the guidance of Reverend Gilbert. This year the meetings featured panel discussions and guest speakers which included Dr. Homer Wil- kins and Sam Slie. Social events sponsored by the club included a bowling party and a picnic in May.

GLEE CLUB The Westfiield State College Glee Club has in the past few years established a distinguished name for itself both on campus and in the surrounding communities. The oldest and largest musical organization on campus, all classes are represented in this group. This year, under the direction of Miss Catherine Dower, the Glee Club has successfully completed a Christmas Concert, An Old Fashioned Song Fest, and a Patriotic Program. Each was received with well deserved praise. A trip to Washington, D. C. during the spring vacation high- lighted the year ' s activities. During the trip, the Glee Club sang at the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument pavilion.

During the past year, this group has combined with the Glee Club at all of the Glee Club Concerts. The Concert Choir has also taken an active part in the Christmas Banquet, Gradu- ation, and has sung during the year at many civic activi- ties in the surrounding area such as : The Noble Hospital Christmas Party, The Woman ' s Club ' s Fashion Show in Westfield, The Chamber of Commerce Early Bird Break- fasts, The Colleen Contest in Holyoke for St. Patrick ' s Day and many others. This group is under the capable direction of Miss Catherine Dower. 87 THEATRICAL Left to right: Jack Leary, Kathy Ward, Barbara Allen, Judy Tuckanan, Eleanor Coffey. FOOTLIGHTERS Fun through hard work is what the mem- bers strive for in the Footlighters, the college dramatic club. Acting, although it is the pri- mary goal, is not the only activity of the Foot- lighters. This year a great many members successfully participated in various other as- pects of the theater, such as prompting, make up, costuming, and publicity. The major production of the year was, The Late George Apley by John Marquand and George S. Kaufman, which was presented in March under the excellent direction of Dr. Wallace Goldstein assisted by Miss Alice Bar- ton. It proved extremely successful, and those participating certainly deserved all their com- mendations. Other activities this year included student directed plays and a radio play, which also were received with much enthusiasm. 88 CLUBS i v ' ■n Avn Left to right: Noelle Kelliher, Mary Pothier, Betty Thurston.

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB The purpose of the International Rela- tions Club is to promote knowledge in im- portant current international affairs. This is accomplished through weekly discussions which enable students to become acquainted with, and form a broader outlook on world problems facing us today. At each meeting the club discusses a different aspect of world affairs. The I.R.C. has had visits from several foreign students to supplement these discussions. On Novem- ber 1, I960 I.R.C. sponsored a mock presi- dential election in which the faculty and entire student body participated. Also a delegation of members of the I.R.C. were sent on March 11, to Northeastern Univer- sity to participate in a Model United Na- tions . MATH CLUB The purpose of the Math Club is to provide an outside activity for those students who have a special interest in mathematics. This year the club has entertained sev- eral guest speakers, taken field trips and discussed various mathematical systems and their derivations. Miss Helen Peters, a math- ematics professor, acted as ad- visor to the club.

Or like the snow jails in the river, A moment white — then melts forever. THE QUINTET QUEEN DANCE M. A. A. sponsored its annual Quintet Queen dance this fall to elect a queen, who would reign over the basketball season. Edith Julian, a member of the Class of 1962, was chosen from the eight candidates nominated. She was crowned by M. A. A. president, Tom Cove. HALLOWEEN HOP Zombie Jamboree was the theme chosen by the sophomores for the annual Halloween Hop held on October 28th. Dancing was to the music of Tony Ravosa amidst cornstalks and pumpkins. To be congratulated was the chairman of the event, Barbara Fontaine. 92 RING CEREMONY On March 1, the Paul A. Dever auditorium was the setting for another first in the history of the college — a Ring Ceremony, presented by the Class of 1961. It was a night which will be remembered by all who attended. The most outstanding feature of the event was a ten-foot replica of the college ring, con- structed under the direction of Henry Padden, Jr. Before receiving their rings, the juniors walked through the arch formed by the ring. Miss Peters, the class advisor, presented the officers with their rings. This was followed by the presenta- tion of rings to the rest of the class by President Edward Patrick, Vice President Ina Skolnick, Secretary Lois Anderson, and Treasurer Charlotte Meara. A reception and dance followed the ceremony in the dining room of the dormitory. CAP AND GOWN CEREMONY This year, the Class of 1961, held the first Cap and Gown Ceremony in Westfield ' s history in honor of our retiring President Edward J. Scanlon. The co- chairmen of the occasion were Charlotte Meara and Dick Barcomb. The evening began with a welcome by the class president, Tom Shaughnessy. The invocation was given by Reverend Father O ' Neil and the benediction was given by Reverend Jostrom. Dean Conlin and a group of participating faculty members gave a demonstration of different caps and gowns with a historical background for each. The main speaker was Mr. Fay, Principal of Chicopee High School, who talked on current prob- lems of education and told the seniors that they will take part in the most energetic stage of educational development the country has ever seen. 93 CHRISTMAS BANQUET Following the annual Christmas Concert, presented by the Concert Choir and Glee Club on December 11, I960, the Host Group of W. A. A. led the faculty and students into the decorated gymnasium where all enjoyed a fine banquet. The holiday spirit was in evidence as the traditional Wassail Toast was given by Mrs. Wallace and as each class and the faculty sang a seasonal song under the direction of their class song leader. The banquet came to a close with a reces- sional led by the Host Group who were all costumed in Old English dress and singing, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen. 94 CHRISTMAS BALL The Wayside Inn in West Springfield was the scene of the annual Christmas Ball. The theme for Westfield ' s first dinner-dance was Soiree Decembre . Dancing was to the rhythm of the Wayside Inn Band. As was evident by the holiday spirit, it was a gala evening. WINTER CARNIVAL ! W Queen Midge Dumas King Larry Maxwell This year, the annual Winter Carnival Week End, sponsored by the Class of 1961, was a huge success. In spite of near arctic weather, the basketball game, dance, and skating party were all held on schedule. Each of the classes was well represented at all of the events. The weekend started off on a pleasant note, as the Westfield State basketball team defeated Rhode Island College of Education, 72 to 76, on Friday night. The following evening, the dance, Wonder land By Night was held at The Sheraton Motor Inn. The music for dancing in the Regency Room was provided by the Eddie Abramson Orchestra. The highlight of the evening and of the weekend was the crowning of the Winter Carnival King and Queen, Midge Dumas and Larry Maxwell. The following day a skating party was held at Shaker Farms Country Club. To be congratulated on a splendid success were Tom Shawnessy and Irene Rigali, co-chairmen of the weekend, and their hard working committees. It was the unanimous decision of all those attending the various activities that a good time was had by all. 96 CHEERLEADERS Left to right: Mary Rockett, Nancy Green, Lois Babigan, Barbara Charron, Midge Dumas, Pam Sloper, Humilia Stefancik. Our Westfield State Cheerleaders, under the capable direc- tion of their captain, Mitch Stefancik, are a study in precision, energy, loveliness, and unlimited school spirit. Mitch, the captain of the squad for the past three years, is the constant spark of these enthusiastic young co-eds. She has put her all into making the squad something that everyone on campus looks to with pride — ■ and well deserved pride it is. Her success, however, is not without the devoted effort of each girl on the squad. Theirs is a mutual effort and a mutual success. Although their main activities are centered around the bas- ketball games, they also hold an annual rally, in which the classes compete against each other for a banner. This past year they have made several appearances with the Glee Club, adding a new zest to the performances. Along with these activities they are constantly making up new cheers and changing the old. Nothing is good enough with this group. Perfection is always their aim. And so we take our hats off to the W.S.C. Cheerleaders. They have more than fulfilled their purpose: to promote school spirit and support. They have instilled this purpose into everyone of us here at Westfield. 97 BASKETBALL VARSITY TEAM Richard Marsh, Jim Fogarty, Larry Maxwell, Ed Shaughnessy, Al Hurlburt, Coach Thomas, Jack Smith, Joe Moynihan, Jim Fallen, Dave Clune, Tom Cove, Jim Lutat, Ed Parsons. 98 TEAM JUNIOR VARSITY TEAM Jim Gorman, Al Ladato, Fred Fitzgerald, Dave Cunningham, Al Miles, Jim Cooley. BASKETBALL Our basketball team this year was more successful than its 5 - 14 record indicates. Over the nineteen game span, the members developed a unique system of team work and a high degree of sportsmanship not equalled by any other team in the league. As a playing team they lacked height, basic essential to any basketball team. They worked steadily to overcome this shortcoming and were rewarded by their five victories which they snatched from the hands of the conference leaders.

Through these experiences we have found that a yearbook is made up of many different elements: time, money, advice, planning, patience, and mistakes. Each of these is an equally necessary part of the finished product. A yearbook is a year round job. It consumes the entire staff ' s time from its very beginning in May until the following March when it goes to the press. Time is the one thing which one never seems to have enough of when preparing a yearbook. Never-the-less our staff has found the time to give us their all, for which we are extremely grateful. It also takes money to publish a yearbook — a great deal of money. Through the constant efforts of our class — the Tekoa raffle, the Winter Carnival Weekend, and our benefit volleyball game, we have met our budget requirements. A great deal of our financial success is due to our various Patrons and Patronesses, and our able advertising staff who pursued them tirelessly. Another important element in a yearbook is advice. Without the help of our capable literary advisor, Miss Barton, our dedicated art advisor, Mr. Sammartano, and our constantly hard working class ad- visor, Miss Peters, we could not have published this book as it is now. Our heartfelt thanks goes to them. Planning a yearbook seems to be a fairly simple thing at a first glance, but planning a bigger and better book than ever before and then making the dream a reality is not. This is what our staff and our advisors have tried to achieve. For their endless planning and re- planning we are greatful. In making up a yearbook, the staff is committed to the publisher to meet deadlines. We must confess that in this respect, we have failed miserably. We would like to thank Mr. Arthur Flynn and the O ' Toole Publishing Company for their constant and limitless patience. Without their patience and help, we would have thrown up our hands in despair many times. It is inevitable in any such project that there will be mistakes. We want to be the first to admit that we have made mistakes. But we hope that rather than looking for the faults in our yearbook, you will look for all the hard work and ability that so many wonder- ful people have given to it. We are grateful for their efforts and proud of their improvements. As for the mistakes ... we hope that you wil l forgive and overlook them. Yes, we too have come to the end of a beginning, and this, the result of hard work, cooperation, trial and error, is a record of your last year at Westfield State. It represents your work and your activities, joys and pleasures. We hope it will mean as much to you who read it as it does to us who planned and edited it.
