During the summer of 76 the Tali Ships streamed into Boston harbor, to be greeted by thousands of Bostonians and tourists.

MQRRISSEY PRSeiOENT June 8, 1977 TO TEE CLASS OF 1977: 1977 seems to be more promising than last year or the year before. The various arises appear to be in some form of measured control. Major conflict has been avoided in many touchy places of the world and there is even some reason to be optimistic about the American economy and American culture. Peace is blessed, if provisional, and a modest rise in economic productivity can be a source of wry satisfaction after the drought of recent years. The year of graduation is always a superlative year - because it is the first year in the rest of our lives. I wish for each member of this graduating class the opportunity for full intellectual and emotional development. I wish you challenge rather than contentment because challenge successfully met creates for each of you the possibility of an everlasting love affair with life.  £, «a 6.n,pLy, ..t Opport.niU, (, -f) {fir ctW.

The act of casting one ' s vote has been preformed by man for centuries. Spring SGA elections were just one small part in this continuing plan. Ardent campaigning enticed few more than five hundred in voter turnout But for those who participated, there was pride in knowing they were instrumental in one of the oldest of man ' s traditions. , , VP, ll¥ i -:--£ ' ■■■■■- : si!im m iTi A 4 iH i U J ' J y 4 ■ 1 f iKll ' . IHM h student Government Association Why become involved? Contrary to what the majority may believe, the changes and decisions made by the Student Government Association do affect the life of the typical college student. The quality and limitations of student life is affected by the rules SGA determines, the influences it may levy on college policy and the causes it chooses to support. Through the SGA one has a voice to express dissatisfaction and to propose needed improvements in the conditions under which the student must live. Does one really need a better reason for becoming involved! The 1976-77 school year has been a frustrating year in many aspects for our SGA as they struggled through meetings, arguments, red tape, and proper channels. Assailed on one side by the student body and on the other by the Administration the Joint Council soon learned that the job of liaison comes with a doubled-edged sword. Some felt that the Student Government and it ' s Constitution were of rules, committees and branches o minous enough to fog the brain of the most politically minded students. In response, a major effort of 1976 was the push of reform, of the constitution and by-laws. The image of a Mickey Mouse organization has caused apathy, and at times hostility in the Student Body, The Administration, and the SGA itself. To combat this attitude a high priority item was the establishment of the unified council. Although this unification rarely took place the effort was there, and there efforts were not always resounding successes, they were clear attempts directly to involve students in the decision making processes of the college.

Dave Roberts Sports Information Director Mac Singleton Intramural Director Head Football Coach 57 1976 Boston State Warriors The 1976 football campaign will be remembered as one of Inconsistency. Inconsistency in winning. In tight situations or close games, team play was at it ' s peai in execution. But it lacked the drive and ability to come back when the score became in favor of the opponent. In the early part of the season, it was evident that the need of a solid quarterback who could lead the team to a repeat of a conference championship. But in the return of Pat Scrima that need was met. The scoring threat of Bob Weaver, Preston Bellizeare, Mike Bogart, and Marty Doto was always present. Team defense, though pourous at times, usually was adequate. Coach Singleton facing a large loss of starters proved to be an experienced leader and motivator. 61 : Vl f !?¥ SSi -2tfl i ' ' S ; CROSS COUNTRY Psyching up is a major part of cross country running. You must gatlner the strength to carry you over a five mile course in less than a half hour. There isn ' t a crowd to cheer you on your way. You are on your own. Right from the gun, it is a contest of patience and concentration. You have to run your own race, but at the same time keep a good position in the pack. As you glide around the track and head for the woods you feel strong, almost superhuman. But as you pass the river and reach the road your mortality starts to show and you begin to feel the pull. You try to pick up your pace the second time around, your eyes are burning from the sweat, and your muscles ache, but it ' s time for your kick. You muster all your reserve energy and set your eyes for the finish line. Ah, across at last! Maybe not first, but the feeling of accomplishment beams through your body as you attempt to regain your breath. 63 WRESTLING Endless hours of calesthenics, skipping rope, and lifting weights. Miles upon miles of road work. Sometimes you ask yourself what is it all about? Some guy is going to try to tear your arms, legs and head off. If you win — so what? Basketball, football, any other sport you can play professionally for a vocation. But who wants to face Chief Jay Strongbull in Boston Garden for a living. Wrestling is not only physical, it ' s highly mental. Don ' t get me wrong! You have to be in phenomenal shape just to last eight minutes on the mat, much less try to win. But you have to be thinking all the time. A mental lapse for a second and your shoulders are on the mat. And you ' re by yourself. There is no one around to help you or to blame. There is a positive side to wrestling though — a personal satisfaction. Of knowing you have trained to your fullest capacity. Of knowing you have met the demands, paid the sacrifices and gained the experience of intercollegiate athletics. 64 65 )c,W- 5TflTE 1 1 il5 IE 2B c 10 iHM 1 m ri }s. 1 Rr SH f - 1 A3 ' - fl - : - ' M s ' : ., 1 BASKETBALL Jim Luscotof is my shepherd; I shall npt lose; He maketh me practice the lay-ups and runneth the fast break: He leadeth me to victory.

He is the one who must have the players ready physically and mentally for competition. He uses miles of tape and hundreds of ice pacl s and listens to an earful of complaints. He is very understanding and concerned. He has to watch every movement of every player on the field or court, and always be ready to assist an injured player with some knowledge of how the injury occure d and what should be done to the player until they are transported to the hospital if necessary. If it wasn ' t for Mark the sports program at Boston State would just as well not exist. For his super enthusiasm and caring for the players and students at Boston State and his willingness to give them the best training room possible under all circumstances we, the yearbook staff would like to tip our hat ' s to the unsung hero of the sports program. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING! MARK DOUGHTIE KV; T •ffl ' f C ' -- ' Pitch Hit Field . . That ' s Baseball feS ? - ' , ft ' Hockey Women ' s athletics at Boston State College under the direction of Mary Barrett had a good 1976-77 season. Most of the teams played an expanded schedule with some new opponents added to enhance competition. Highlights of the season were the selection of a gymnast to compete in the regional competition and the winning of a Massachusetts State Athletic Conference co-championship by the softball team. Volleyball under coach Joanne Hawkins Smith, a former BSC standout did well. MVP Jean Wong was a sparkplug as were Paula DiSalvo and Cindy Timmons. During the fall season, coach Irene Doughty ' s tennis team, playing a very competitive schedule deserved much credit. Sandy Cuthburt was a motivating force and MVP Joanne Marino was a standout. Her matches set longevity records! Alice Gonsalves our first gymnastics coach did an outstanding job. Veterans Pauline Hufnagel and Debbie Face were helped by Cindy Brown, Sue Hale and Marie Doto. Freshman Eileen Reilly was selected to attend Eastern Regional Competition in Towson, Maryland. Women ' s basketball under the capable direction of BSC ' s own Mac Singleton played a very spinted brand of basketball. The motivation and conditioning of the athletes enabled them to be very competitive. MVP Pepsi O ' Donnel and Dawn McLaughlin sparked the team. The second annual Women ' s Track Codfish Championship was held in may under tne direction of coach Billy Squires. BSC runners Laura Tucci, MVP Sandy Dawson, Patty Gravel and Dawn McLaughlin were standouts during the season. The Softball team under veteran coach Mary Pratt finished the season by an outstanding win over Springfield College, the first in five years. Outstanding play by Paula Haas, Paula DiSalvo Denise Medieros and Lorry Bradley helped the team capture the co-championship in the Softball State College Conference. The cheerleaders in football, basketball, hockey helped support and encourage the men ' s teams. MVP football cheerleader Janice Zawodny, winner of the Marsha Radinsky cheerleader award, was a prime example and motivating force for excellence in cheerleading. Basketball cheerleaders under the direction of MVP Mary Hacker and Karen Johnson did an outstanding job m spurring the Warriors on to NCAA championship play. Coaches and athletes were honored at an awards buffet on May 24 and as Mary Barrett remarked It was a good year and next year will be even better. 79 Women ' s Volleyball 84 Women ' s Basketball ■ ■■ PB wm 30 0 Hf 1 m r m ■n 1 V Ib -- H ET ' ' i ?%. 1 VM. mL M M tft ' .

The next fourteen years his team at Boston State College has won 44 team championships; 17 athletes were all-New England and 12 college All Americans, of which three were National Champions and Mark Duggan — American Record holder, two mile steeple chase. These athletes have developed through a program which have no dormitory developments, no financial aide and Boston State does not have a track facility. Bill has been a U.S. State department consultant to India, training their Olympic prospects. He has started the girl ' s track and field program at the college and ran the first New England Track and Field Championship for collegiate women called the Codfish Bowl Championship, which is run the first Sunday in may at Boston College High School with 16 schools in attendance this past year. Bill is an active clinician in the east, and was the feature speaker at the Hall of Fame Race. He has been the chief coordinator for the junior high program for the city of Boston which will get under way this coming year. He has given clinics to male and female coaches. For the past five years, he has been directing the All-American Track Camp. He also has written a book on his training methods which is used nationally and internationally. The name of the book is World class formula for running improvement . This book includes S.W.I. P. training used by Bill Rodgers, Randy Thomas, Vin Flemming, Tom Fleming etc. Bill was a two time All American miler at NOTRE DAME. He also has coached the nationally ranked Greater Boston Track Club which has won four National Championships, and has placed in six. At Boston State, Bill is an Associate Professor in Physical Education, Health Education and track and field. The yearbook staff would like to express it ' s gratitude and congratulations to Bill Squires for fourteen great years. 97 The Student — Faculty Basketball Game Even though the faculty outaged and outweighed the students, they came back to beat the students in the final second of play. If it wasn ' t for some sharp shooting by Dean James Morris and Dr. Carmen Bazzano the faculty would have been lost. The student team led by Steve Hamilton, Barbara Pettine, and Henry Lipshits did an admirable job. Student high scorer Bob Ross had Pete Saitta and Mac Singleton looking in amazement throughout the contest! But it was Dean Morris who was the hero of the day when he tripped while going for an easy lay-up, and some how managed to get the ball in the hoop with a mere one second left to win the game for the faculty.

The past four years undoubtedly mean many different things to many different people. But what a majority of us will look back on most nostalgically is the fact that college was one place where we were all together, in learning and in living. It issafetosay that at the start of our college careers most of us realized that the nextfouryearsof our lives would be spent learning with each other. Yet now, to look back, it seems we learned almost as much from each other as we did with each other. Of course It wasn ' t all just pencils and books. There ' s an old cliche that says, In effect, there are many things that can ' t be learned from books . It would be quite arrogant of anyone to dispute that. Although we haven ' t learned all there is to know about everything, we at least know how to learn. We have learned from people about people with people, and now we wonder if we have any Idea what people are all about. We can ' t dig out the textbook from our Developmental Psychology I PY201 course to show someone that we ' ve learned all about understanding people In 300 pages from Socrates to Sartre. We are left to ask ourselves where we learned about people, who gave us the reasons, when did it ail come to us? And we sense these questions have no answers, and perhaps they shouldn ' t have ever been asked. We don ' t know exactly where, when or how, but we know that somewhere within the borders of four years ' time, we began to understand. In the same vein we come to realize that college isn ' t the end of it at all. In all respects It is just the beginning. But that isn ' t our immediate concern. We have spent four years of our lives toward achieving what has thus far probably been the biggest goal of our lives. And so we sigh in relief, and sense a great feeling of accomplishment, knowing we have arrived. When we think back to what our preconceptions of college were, most of us find we were somewhat off the track. We can remember thinking that college was a place our parents send us, to emerge four years later exuding brilliance and wisdom and knowing all there Is to know about everything. It did not take us long to realize how wrong our preconceptions were. College has not equipped us with the solutions to all the problems that beset our society. Perhaps college has not even prepared us to meet the challenges of our time. But it has helped show us what we are up against. It has made us realize that, no matter what career we choose, whether it be in the fields of education, science, business, government or social work, we shall be put in situations and faced with problems that we cannot now Imagine ourselves being able to cope with. We cannot prepare for a specific situation, any more than we can postulate a list of pre-fabrlcated answers to a variety of possible problems. What we can all do is believe in ourselves and find confidence in our own sense of values. The foundations have been laid. We should feel confident that, whatever our actions, we will not be operating strictly on impulse. Instead our judgements will reflect values that have taken all our lives to formulate.

Senior Week 1977 A NIGHT IN THE BLEACHERS Although the Red Sox lost, the game was exciting from the pre-game frisbee toss to the local pubs afterwards. Wine and cheese night at the Aquarium. Who said Boston State seniors drinl like fishes? Weii I don ' t know, but about 250 of them went through fourty cases of wine in four hours. The aquarium staff was glad to see that no one joined the sharks for a swim. ' :M x A NIGHT AT THE POPS The 1977 Boston Pops season marks the 48th year partnership with Arthur Fielder. His warm and sometimes mysterious stage presence, and his inimitable style, the distinguished white haired gentleman on the podium has become one of Boston ' s best known, and best loved citizens. He was born on December 17, 1894 into a deeply rooted musical background. He joined the BSO in 1915, and in an effort to bring music to the public he initiated a campaign for outdoor concerts. In 1929 his efforts were rewarded with the first esplanade concert. These concerts have been a tradition in Boston ever since and last year during the bicentennial over 400,000 attended. Arthur Fiedler has long been a national figure. Under his direction, the Boston Pops has been recorded more than any other orchestra in the world. Not only has Fiedler distinguished himself as a musician and conductor, but as a leading citizen as well. On January 10 of this year, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom at a White House Ceremony. When addressing the recipients of the award, former President Ford said, Excellence is its own reward — not only to those who strive for it, but also to the free society which encourages it. You are the men and the women who have used that freedom to achieve excellence. Your outstanding accomplishments have made our lives better, and set stirring examples for others to follow. We the seniors at Boston State College would like to express our sincere gratitude and congradulations to Boston ' s most unique citizen. 182 ARTHUR FIEDL 183 bSaBIP! - The all american clambake took place over on Thompson ' s Island.
