Now, far ahead, the Road has gone, And I must follow it, if I can, Pursuing it with eager feet Until it joins some larger way Where many paths and errands meet. And wither then? I cannot say. J.R.R. Tolkien Surely Brick and mortar can- not live and breathe; but just as surely, this brick and mortar will allow for as deep a breath of educational inquiry as we could desire. Needing a quiet place To collect my thoughts I took a walk Alone. And saw reflections of beauty eS ■ i T Let us seek to invoke the wonders of science, instead of its terrors. Together let us explore the stars conquer the deserts eradicate disease top the ocean depth and encourage the arts and commerce J. F. Kennedy 1 ' mwm • ' Tw-r ' -T ' !

Throughout the following pages are photos which will help to preserve those years. So much has happened in the past four years revolving around us, possibly changing our lives in some way or another. To those of us that were affected, even in the smallest way, it is hoped that these photos will serve to remind us of the times that were. Remember, we got from Boston State only that which we put into it. 17 Mary C. Aikens Sharon A. Albert Sheryl L. Allen Robert E. Amoroso Alice J. Anderson Mary Ellen Anderson Roger R.

Although the 1974-1975 council was criticized for many things, several accomplishments were made in both serious and social areas. Great efforts were made in the field of collective bargaining which is one of the strongest bases of power that students can have. Day care was well funded, as were both of the campus newspapers. The Council supported the Boycott of the Cafeteria and in the spring conducted, through the election committee, perhaps the most efficient and honestly run elections in Boston State ' s history. On the social side, there were movies every month, a Booze Cruise, a Day at the Celtics, Fifties Dances, numerous speakers, and an un orgeftabJe Christmas Party, plus an evening with the Amazing Kreskin. It is difficult to accomplish anything on the short span of time a council has to work; however, through efficient leadership goals can be achieved. 110 Clubs African Student Association The Biology Club ia an organization for all students with an interest in the environment and life.

The activities of the Chemistry Club will include field trips, discussions, speakers as well as projects, and the general exchange of knowledge and techniques. u The club aquaints its members with up to date S.C.U.B.A. diving techniques, safety, and the ecology of the water environment. Films and speakers are on the dive clubs regular schedule. The club has been on the BSC campus for four years and the main purpose of the club is to have fun. It is a year round activity. Larry Urban — President Vice-Pres. — Dave Wayne Stephen Mahoney — Treasurer Sec. — Alice Anderson The Fire Science Club was formed to fill the need felt by firefighters coming back to school, to promote the awareness of the problems within the Fire Dept., and to improve the professional status of the firefighting profession. These goals have been carried out by a series of weekly speakers, seminars, projects and culminated at year ' s end by a Banquet. John J. McKenna — President Peter Brenner — Vice Pres.

The Psychology Club functions to bring students and faculty members together in an informal, social setting, and stimulate further interest in psychology. The Psychology Club is known for providing excellent speakers at its weekly meetings, for these speakers have first hand experience in relevant and contemporary areas of psychology. Not only does the Psychology Club function as a social organization encompassing weekly meetings, off-campus parties and field trips, but also provides information services as well. This year the Psychology Club has established an office for student use in 308 Fenway which has graduate school catalogues, information on volunteer opportunities, and any other information to aid students of psychology to prepare for their future as adequately as possible. The Psychology Club is open to all students at Boston State College regardless of their major or minor field of concentration. Marianne Corrado — President Timothy Murphy — Vice Pres. Joan McGrady — Secretary Donna Daley — Treasurer 116 Commuting? Due to the absence of dorms, Boston State is primarily a commuter school. Therefore, many of us share a common bond of frustration; the MBTA. So let us take a typical ride to Boston State College via the infamous Arborway Line. Our saga begins at Park Street. We all wait for our turn to be swallowed by the great metal snake . . . Inch by inch we make our way along the corroded track. Remember the dodge-em cars at Nantasket Beach? A sigh of relief hits us at Northeastern, for perhaps, just perhaps we ' ll get a seat. Finally, with the Mormon Tabernacl e Choir singing the Halleluhah Chorus in the background, we reach Longwood. The door opens and the snake spits us out. Three cheers for the corageous, determined commuter. The following bits of verse were written by Lori Green- berg, one of these valiant commuters, and inspired by Park Street and the Arborway Line. 117 . . .

Class of 75 Presents the Junior Class Semi- Formal On Saturday, April 27 the Junior Class sponsored a semi-formal dinner dance at the Sheraton Boston Hotel. The evening began with packed tables of merry making BSC students. The meal, while it had a fancy sounding name was largely disappointing. However, the apple pie did add whole- someness to the meal along with spices of democracy and patriotism. From here on the Ruby Newman Orchestra then took over with slow groin grinders that could have lasted til orgasm. Between sets we indulged in their limited supply of booze and in typical Boston State fashion, bottles emptied and ice didn ' t have time to melt. The pleasant features of the night was seeing the dungaree brigade dress in high fashion. With low vees and backs, the women were estastically beau- tiful and obviously feminine. The gents were dressed in dapper suit jackets and bow ties (most even shaved). In a school that is so apathetic, it is always great to see students getting it on together at a social event. Although, in terms of mechanics the evening wasn ' t flawless, it didn ' t undermine the mood of the crowd. They came to have a good time and did. 131 We know that the color of the skin is regarded by the men of all races Jj !■ M W ' r 4 l l B ' , . ■Ml ■■ ' ■ ' ' ■ ' ' t ' nirTTT ' T ' ■ ' •■(- ,-., L i ' ' H | 1 ■ 132 as a highly important element of their beauty.

The Class of 75 enjoyed such a celebration and with typical Boston State The weeks activities consisted of: A Red Sox game A showing of the movie Funny Lady An Evening with the Boston Pops The Senior Prom held at Lantana ' s A wind up called the Last Hurrah Needless to say, all activities were a smashing success. The Yearbook Staff has decided to bring this book to a close with a collection of pictures taken at some of these events. We hope they bring to mind many happy memories of Senior Week and your days at Boston State College. Scattered pictures, of the smiles we left behind ... 154 155 156 157 159 Yearbook Staff Robert Mikolitch Ellen Cotter Joan Connelly Robert McClone Neil Kadey Mark Nelson Dean Asadorian Stuart Soroka Robert Mikolitch Marcia Gold Ellen Cotter Ellen Cotter Joan Connelly Robert Mikolitch Special Thanks to the following people without whose help and support, this book would not have become a reality.
