THE GIFT OUTRIGHT The land was ours before we were the land ' s. She was our land more than a hundred years Before we were her people. She was ours In Massachusetts, in Virginia, But we were England ' s still colonials, Possessing what we still were unpossessed by, Possessed by what we now no more pos- sessed. Something we were withholding made us weak Until we found out that it was ourselves We were withholding from our land of living, And forthwith found salvation in surrender. Such as we were we gave ourselves outright (The deed of gift was many deeds of war) To the land vaguely realizing westward, But still unstoried, artless, unenhanced, Such as she was, such as she would become. Robert Frost We, the class of 1976, have the honor of receiving our degrees from an institution, which in September 1976 will begin its 125th year of education for service. Let us go back in 25 year intervals to the beginning of our Alma Mater and review her progress. 1951 to 1976 The greatest change during this period, aside from the increase in facilities and student body, was the lifting of restrictions on students. In 1951, every student received a handbook of DO ' s and DON ' TS which had to be memorized. These rules were rigidly enforced and repeated infractions were cause for suspension or dismissal. Here are a few: DO have respect for upper classmen. DO attend all classes and be punctual. DO return all coke bottles to the appointed places. DON ' T remain in college after 4:00 P.M. DON ' T wear overcoats in class. DON ' T smoke within the confines of the building. Procedures discontinued were: ATTENDANCE AND TARDINESS All absences must be reported at once. Excuse slips must be secured from your faculty aides and then presented to teachers within five days. All excuses for absences or tardiness must be reported to the school physician. Students may not be excused from college without permission from Dr. Looney (College President), school physician, or faculty aide. ASSEMBLIES The student body and faculty assemble each Tuesday, third period, to take part in a brief exercise consisting of a bible passage read by the President, singing of a hymn and salute to the flag. SMOKING Smoking is not permitted within the confines of the building. There is a short time between classes in which a student can take a walk and enjoy a smoke. If you were unhappy about the school cafeterias in the Fenway and Kennedy Buildings, how about this: CAFETERIA The lunchroom is located in the Boston Latin School Building (78 Avenue Louis Pasteur). In 1952, the graduating class was composed of 90 females and 24 males. Every graduate was a resident of Boston. Probably the most significant event in the history of the college occurred in 1952 when, by a joint act of the Boston School Committee and the Massachusetts General Court, the Teachers ' College became a state college under the Massachusetts Department of Education. It was now called the State Teachers College at Boston. As a state institution it started a period of steady growth and expanded offerings. In 1960 the Massachusetts legislature passed an act eliminating the word teachers from the name of the state supported college. The State Teachers College at Boston became State College at Boston with the power to grant Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees in non-education courses. In 1964 the Kennedy Building was opened providing classrooms, modern laboratories, lecture halls, a cafeteria and student lounge, and offices of the deans and Student Government Association. Three years later the college added to its ever-growing complex a new building with gymnasium and classroom facilities. In September 1970 the college expanded its physical plant by opening the Fenway Building located a short distance from the main campus on Ipswich Street. In the fall of 1965 the Evening Undergraduate College opened. Dr. John O ' Neill succeeded Dr. Looney as the college ' s 6th president on September 1, 1968, the same year the college became known as Boston State College. After the resignation of Dr. O ' Neill in 1970, Dr. Robert J. Bond and later Dr. Robert V. McCarthy served as Acting Presidents. In May 1971 Mr. Kermit C. Morrissey was elected President. In 1974 the fourteen story addition of Huntington Avenue was started. Because of the financial state of the Commonwealth, it will not be completed until sometime in the unforseen future. 1926 to 1951 A search in the archives of the college failed to reveal any copies of yearbooks or other material which would give us a picture of the students, their problems and activities. Therefore, the record from here is strictly historical. In 1926 the college was granted the right to award a Master of Education degree. The depression of the 1930 ' s saw a clamor to abolish the school. This was defeated. In 1942 the college was accredited by the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education after a 20 year wait, under the leadership of Dr. William H. J. Kennedy, President of the college from 1926 to 1948. In 1948 men were admitted to the 4 year course in Elementary Education following a 44 year wait; since men had been admitted to the Normal School in 1904. It was also during this year (1948) that Dr. William F. Looney took over the helm as the college ' s 5th president. 1901 to 1926 The school moved to its present location on Huntington Avenue in 1907. In 1913 the 2 year course was lengthened to 3 years with greater attention given to kindergarten work. During the same year the University Extension Commission, after careful inspection, certified credit toward the degree of Associate in 7 courses out of the 17 offered. The addition of 2 four-year courses, in 1922, gave the students an opportunity to qualify for the degree of Bachelor of Education and Bachelor of Science in Education. Then in 1924, the school ' s name was changed to the Teacher ' s College of the City of Boston. 1876 to 1901 Boston Normal School was the name by which our college was known 100 years ago. About this time, a fourth year of work was added to the course of study in the Girl ' s High School. Always alert to raise its standards, Boston Normal School immediately required that each applicant for admission to the school, would have to complete 4 years of high school before being accepted. This gave Boston Normal School the distinction of being the first normal school in the United States to demand 4 years of high school work as an admission requirement. In 1888 the Normal School course was extended from its original length of 1 year to IVi years, and in 1899 kindergarten training was added as a supplementary course. Kindergarten training was in its infancy then, and the Boston Normal School was the first public institution to give training in that fine. The time required for matriculation was increased to 2 full years in 1892. 1851 to 1876 Nathan Bishop, first superintendent of Boston Schools, recommended that establishment of a normal school to educate women to teach in Boston Public Schools, in 1851. One year later, the City Council passed an act establishing the Boston Normal School as a pretext to obtain some education for young women beyond training in grammar grades. At that time, there was only 1 other city normal school and only 7 other public institutions of that nature in the United States — 3 of which were in Massachusetts. In the same year (1852), 86 girls stepped out of their grammar school classes to embark on a glorious new profession of teaching. They began this adventure in the Adams School House on Mason Street. Two years later there was a strong demand for a public high school for girls, and, although the request was refused in that form, a number of high school studies were added to the Normal School work, and the course was lengthened from 2 to 3 years. The title of Girls ' High School was then adopted. The girls could have used the services of a few Women ' s Libbers in those times. Near the close of the Civil War the work had grown to such an extent that a training department originated in 1864 for practice teaching and the observation of school work. Some 6 years later the number of students had increased to such a degree — about 350 were enrolled — that it was deemed advisable to move to the new building which had been built on West Newton Street. Existence of the Normal School as s separate entity dated from 1872 when the School Committee decided the Normal and high schools should thereafter be kept apart, thus returning the normal school to the original condition as a separate school. The first president was Loring Lothrop. Twenty years later Dr. Larkin Dunton was named as first headmaster of the Normal School in its independent existence. Upon his death in 1899, after 27 years of leadership, he was succeeded by Wallace C. Boyden, his assistant for many years. [ANGUS J.

When there are clouds in the sky, you ' ll get by. If you smile through your fear and sorrow, Smile and maybe tomorrow, You ' ll see the sun come shining through for you. Light up your face with gladness, Hide every trace of sadness, Although a tear may be ever so near, That ' s the time you must keep on trying. Smile, What ' s the use of crying, You ' ll find that life is still worthwhile, If you just SMILE.

Of these, certainly the most important was the crisis concerning tuition hikes. This issue was unique in that it threatened each student, not just a select few. The following pages illustrate some of the efforts undertaken by various factions to stop this raise; and included is a statement by SGA President Bruce Bishop. 65 67 ffliif £ 4 i  Jrfc 70 This year will probably go down as the year that students, faculty, and even some administrators came together. In hopes of preserving education at Boston State College, students, leading the way, sponsored a rally on September 17th. It was there that it became evident that the student power of the sixties wasn ' t dead, although dormant for a long time. This era of budget cuts and increasing tuition and most importantly the decrease of Quality Education again feeds the eternal flame of student power.

Many thanks. THE STAFF 147 On Monday, November 10, 1975 the Philosophy Club presented William F. Buckley and Some Thoughts Concerning Freedom. The freedom to deceive is overly indulged. 148 If the Republican Party suffers again this year as it did in nineteen hundred and seventy four, then it ' s through. What we do not need is anything that suggests that human freedom will lead us to Utopia. The statistical chances are very slight that the US will be free fifty years from now. 149 Most of us have been here four years, some longer, a few shorter; and like death and taxes there is one thing that you can be sure will occur every year — THE LAST DAY OF CLASSES CHRISTMAS PARTY. These parties always start out in the cafeterias, but by mid-afternoon for some strange reason the Administration and Security usually decide to close up the school and kick all the party goers out. In our four years we ' ve always had someplace to move on to — thanks to the SGA. Do vou remember those parties? In 1972 it was THE GARAGE; 1973 - TOM FOOLERY ' S; 1974 brought a return engagement to THE BOSTON CLUB (the only place in town I ' m told that would take us); and our last year- 1975 — we partied at KKKATIE ' S. Here are some pictures for you to enjoy for the first time if you weren ' t there, and if you were, well maybe you ' re among the celebrants. 150 153 155 This is my country, bitter as the sea, Pungent with the fir and bayberry. An island meadow, stone-walled, high, and lost, With August cranberries touched red by frost. Two hours of sun before the fog erases The walls on walls of trees trimmed sharp as laces. A house behind the last hill of them all, And, after that, the lonesome seagulls ' call; A juniper upon a windy ledge, Splendor of granite on the world ' s bright edge, A heron on the beach and one on wing, Wind wrapped round each last and living thing, A lighthouse like a diamond, cut and sharp. And all the trees like strings upon a harp. These are my people, saving of emotion, With their eyes dipped in the winter ocean, The lonely, the patient ones, whose speech comes slow, Whose bodies always lean towards the blow, The enduring and the clean, the tough and clear, Who live where winter is the word for year And the briar rose had best be brief, Where most trees wear a dagger for a leaf. These are my kindred and my kind, They have a sort of lighthouse for a mind, Keeping lit inside, because the sun Is too low to be a trusted one, The cheerful, crystal people who have had The chance to know the taste of being sad. (Robert P. Tristram Coffin) 158 I am the people — the mob — the crowd — the mass. Do you know that all the great work of the world is done through me? I am the working man, the inventor, the maker of the world ' s food and clothes. I am the audience that witnesses history. The Napoleons come from me and the Lincolns. They die. And I send forth more Napoleons and Lincolns. I am the seed ground. I am a prairie that will stand for much plowing. Terrible storms pass over me. I forget. The best of me is sucked out and wasted. I forget. Everything but Death comes to me and makes me work and give up what I have. And I forget. Sometimes I growl, shake myself and spatter a few red drops for history to remember. Then — I forget. When I, the People, learn to remember, when I, the People, use the lessons of yesterday and no longer forget who robbed me last year, who played me for a fool — then there will be no speaker in all the world say the name: ' The People ' , with any fleck of a sneer in his voice or any far-off smile of derision. The mob — the crowd — the mass — will arrive then. (Carl Sandburg) 159 Editor Ellen Cotter Co- Editor Joan Connelly Sports Editor Bob Ross Photography Dean Asadorian A.

In order to have this book published before graduation, we had to sacrifice several months of school events which otherwise could have been included. I feel it is worth the sacrifice however, to leave Boston State with your yearbook. Our theme was centered on people with an added touch of history. I hope you have enjoyed it now and will continue to recall your State years when leafing through it in the future. Ellen Cotter. 160 9 . -m ■III 9- H! B( ' I a t « V '
