Olfico of Alumni Relations Curry Coliege Milton, Mass. 02186 CURRYER 1974 CURRY COLLEGE MILTON, MASSACHUSETTS VOLUME XXIII 1071 33u@ Hill Av t9M Mflton, WIA 021 a€ STAFF NOTE Etched on the following pages are the collective at- tempts of we, the Curryer staff, to present a comprehen- sive account of what life at the institution entails. To- day, more than at any time in the past ten years, a number of pertinent questions exist as to whether life at any college is worth the time and effort involved. In- deed, it is not unusual today for the college graduate to find himself in a much more difficult position than his counterpart who chose a different route upon graduat- ing from High School. Thus there would appear to be some merit in the high school graduate opting not to choose a college career. This change in attitude has of course had a significant effect on the welfare of the small college. Most of these institutions, if they haven ' t already closed down, find themselves in a state of fi- nancial crisis. Fortunately, at this point anyway, this in- stitution seems to be bearing up fairly well. Although enrollment is slightly on the wane, we have every reason to believe that this is merely a temporary set- back. Due to significant strides both on the academic and administrative sides, the college has evolved into an excellent choice for the prospective scholar. In keeping with the new Dean ' s (this is the administrative change to which we refer) philosophy of making the student ' s academic experience more meaningful, freshman colloquium was originated — enabling the student to avoid structured English and Psychology courses; the language requirement was abolished; and additional avenues in the category of equivalent educa- tion were made possible, thanks to the Dean, to whom, along with a retiring English professor, this year ' s Cur- ryer is dedicated. Indeed, at times in this day and age, with the possi- ble exception of the excutive branch of the federal gov- ernment, there would seem to be very little that is not in a state of economic crisis. It is this sort of thing that the graduating high school student must take into ac- count when choosing the right school. It is our belief that, all things considered, of the small liberal arts schools in the area, this institution offers most of what the student desires. Hopefully, the following pages will help to substantiate that opinion. DEDICATION In keeping with tradition, the Senior Class this year has been given the responsibility of choosing the per- son to whom the yearbook would pay tribute. We sus- pect that they have experienced this year more diffi- culty in selecting the proper individual than classes have experienced in the past. (Such a dilemma was not entirely unexpected in a year of such improvement in so many areas.) For this reason we are saluting not one but two persons. The first of these is an administrator who is unique in the history of the institution — the new Dean of the College, Dr. Frederick Kirschenmann. Dr. Kirschen- mann, originally from North Dakota, opted for Curry because he saw here an opportunity for change . And change he has. In the short year that he has been here he has raised profound questions about the traditional philosophy of education. In his quest to humanize the academic area and develop more options for students, he has opened the door for easier use of equivalent education which allows the student to concentrate more heavily on field-work and independent study. He is also the person most responsible for the unpre- cedented abolition of academic tenure. This cessation of the practice of guaranteeing life time positions after seven years of employment marks the first such action of this type in an accredited college or university in the country. This is a remarkable achievement for a man in the first year of his Deanship. We applaud the action of this pioneer, and wish him success at the leading edge of education at Curry Col- lege. Our recognition of outstanding individuals would be incomplete if we failed to include Dr. Franklin Batdorf, whose career at Curry is closing in June, 1 974. Dr. Bat- dorf is a familiar and beloved figure on campus, dres- sed with the suited aplomb of an 18th century scholar and the sturdy shoes of a patient realist. In faculty meet- ings he has faithfully extracted rationality from lengthy proceedings. He has helped to establish the Curry Arts Journal, through which we can express ourselves crea- tively in poems, essays, short stories, drawings, and crit- ical analyses. Dr. Batdorf ' s cherubic face will, however, be most remembered for his well-structured, uniquely- fascinating classes in English. There we experienced his dedication, his absolute devotion to articulation and precision. In an oral age his insistence on excellence in writing well reminds us not only of our literary heritage but also of the true meaning of communication . Long after the formal classroom sessions had ended he could be found, elbow to elbow with students in need of ad- ditional help. His unselfish giving of himself, his alive humor, and his timeless quality will always be with us. He will be missed. PART ONE PART TWO THE COLLEGE AS AN ENTITY A toal college community amounts to nothing without the shell of it ' s appearance. Curry is one of the more beautiful rural campuses in the Bos- ton area. A college is not a college without an administration and faculty. The following sec- tion exemplifies Curry College as a self- contained learning institute. THE STUDENT AS A PARTICIPANT In a college of 800 students it ' s important that the student not only go to class, but take an ac- tive part in his school. Whether it ' s the year- book, newspaper or radio station, there ' s plenty of excitement to be had. It ' s there for every stu- dent who wants it. This section shows the stu- dents involvement. PART THREE PART FOUR THE STUDENT AS AN ENTITY Curry is a four-year college. Like any other school of its kind, learning takes place in defi- nite steps. From your freshman year to your day of graduation you step the ladder to learning one step at a time. This section illustrates the student as an individual. PERRY SCHOOL For the past two years, Curry College has had Perry School on its grounds. Perry, which offers specialization in early childhood education, will not be with us next year. It will be incorporated into Curry. This section shows Perry School as a separate entity. PART ONE THE COLLEGE AS AN ENTITY EDITORS: William Reid Gail E. Fleischer Pat Sheridan ... ' ' LOUIS R.

A few participants were at first skeptical, but most were involved in the unique sounds in no time. Saturday ' s events began with a motor parade including several floats, exhibiting the obvious artis- tic genius of those involved. (it ' s the thought that counts), and the nominees for homecoming queen. The gridiron confrontation with Nichols resulted in a disastrous 30-0 defeat. Later that afternoon a joke-filled and suprise-ridden happy hour was held, featuring the antics of WRKO ' s Dale Dorman. Topping off the day ' s activities was a semi-formal dance. The Chateau de Ville set the stage for a fun-filled occasion. With a sudden burst of tears, the 1972 queen, Dianna Cocuzza, surrendered her crown to Miss Nell McNeil, to the approval of all present. Also very popular was the bountiful buffet supper. The announcement an open bar, however, provided an excellent climax to an already perfect night. 48 What happens when a group of students and friends plan, toil, in- quire, and re-plan for a whole year to turn an old delapidated Activity Build- ing into a remodeled and reknowned nite-spot . . . Coin ' to the Pub? 51 December 1973 marked the opening of Cur- ry ' s newest and most popular night spot. After a long and costly battle the Student Activity Build- ing, specializing in liquid beverages, opened its remodeled doors. Money was raised through a Telethon and the help of students, parents, ad- ministrators and various other friends of the col- lege. The Activity Building held a contest searching for the proper name for such an establishment and settled on The Loose Caboose . The Curryer wishes to extend a special thanks to all involved for providing another alternative to long hours of studying. 52 54 Mfc „, 4jii iH w ' ' - - ' :. ' ::-$H! ' 0 y ••.

Led by the outstanding pitching of Randy Kohlen- berger, Bob Perella, Glenn Wilde, Dave Iverson, and the consistent play of Paul Levesque, Marty Bis- sonette, Rusty Russell, Bob Connelly, Rich Moran, Steve Cardinale, and Tom DeCabia, the Curry nine compiled a 12-5 record. Curry ended up second in the New England Intercollegiate Baseball Assn., only to be tapped by New England College. This enabled the team to participate in a tourna- ment, which was hosted by Franklin Pierce College. The three teams invited were, Curry, New England, and Nathahiel Hawthorne. The Colonels proved that they really were championship material by beating Franklin Pierce, in the first game and by sweeping the tournament by beating New England, in the second and final game. The prospects for next year are promising, as the majority of the team will return. The team will sorely miss the play of the graduating seniors, Steve Cardinale, and Bob Con- nelly. These two atheletes have brought the recogni- tion and the calibe r of play to Curry baseball that it rightly deserves. 86 About ... A Championship.

Shaffer Denise Redmond Lionel W. Langlois Joyce L. Vogt I After four wild years at Curry, the final Senior Week was no exception, we really did ourselves in. There were a series of parties and good times we will all remember, beginning with the cookout and student-faculty softball game. Then we treked to President Hafer ' s house where we were plied with liquor and sent on to the Dinner Dance at the Drapkin Center. Finally we dragged our tired bodies to the cafeteria to be revived somewhat by the Senior Breakfast, then herded on to rehersal and the dedication of the W. George Kennedy Academic Center and Wallace B. Foard Auditorium. After all this, we proceeded to prepare ourselves by whatever means possible for The Big Day . CLASS OF 1 974 Commencement exercises for the Class of 1974 took place Sun day, May 19. The day was beautiful, a perfect way to end 4 years of hard work. Anticipation grew on the preceeding days as the tents and chairs were set up and the lawns were manicured to the likeness of a golf course. Slowly, a full hour before the exercises were to begin, the spectators seats began filling up with relatives and friends of the graduates. We were honored with the presents of Chief S.B. Ajasa Oluwa, Chief of Lagos State, Nigeria who was present for his son ' s graduation. The Commencement Address was gi- ven by the Honorable Margaret Heckler, member of Congress, Tenth district of Massachusetts. Representative Heckler also received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree. Other honorary degrees were received by Lenice Ingram Bacon; Doctor of Let- ters, and Harold B. Van Gorder; Doctor of Business Administration. 159 Holding with tradition, the Class of 1974 pre- sented President Hafer with a gift for the school. The gift was in the form of money to be used for carpeting a new student-faculty lounge in the North Academic Building. Kathleen McCartin and La Verne Nolan were the class representatives. Clifford Cratz was given the honor of being class Orator and presented an inspiring speech before the audience. The 1974 New Era Award was confered by Joseph Ventrone, Class of 1971, and was received by Dianna M. Cocuzza. 160 Well folks, that ' s the 1974 Curryer. As I write this it ' s 5:30 p.m., May 29th, almost three weeks since the end of school and only three days until our last deadline. It ' s difficult to realize that all the time, effort, sweat and fun is over. It has really been an experience being editor of this book. It has really been a pain in the ass. If I were asked to do it again I wouldn ' t. The fact remains that I did do it and I ' m kind of proud. There is alot of this book that is opinion . . . my opinion. I realize that a yearbook is not a vehicle for expressing opinion but it ' s hard to remain objective for very long when you ' re so deeply involved in some- thing. As I said earlier I ' m proud of myself, but not half as proud as I am of my staff. You can ' t im- agine how inexperienced we were last Sep- tember. There ' s alot to a yearbook, alot of or- ganizing, alot of thinking and alot of just plain work. I would like to personally thank not only for myself but for the entire student body, all th- ose who contributed, whether it was photo ' s, copy, time, effort or just plain ideas. Special thanks to Gail Fleischer who never failed to give reassurance and sound advice when things got tough, to Pat Sheridan who will succeeding me next year, to Tom Kelso who again came through with an unprededented advertising campaign. Randy Kolhenberger our photography manager and Denis Campion whose eyes started to look like a 35mm lens after 12 hours straight in the dark room. Also Warren Bazirgan, our advisor and Dick Sweich, from Hunter Publishing Co. I hope we have succeeded at least to some degree in presenting Curry as you remember it. The biggest problem in creating a popular year- book is trying to satisfy the greatest amount of people. Well I didn ' t try. I tried to satisfy myself. I have. Well, my summer is about to begin so we ' ll be seeing ya, okay? William T.

The Perry philosophy as it has been known will be implemented and continued in the new Perry Early Childhood Center. Curry will be enriched by the addition of this major area of con- centration to its educational program in several ways, including a new student-teacher association with some 150 schools with which Perry has had an active working relationship over the years. The Curry student body will be enlarged which, of course, places it in a stronger financial position to compete in the world of private col- leges. Curry can look forward to the continuing sense of loyalty that you have always expressed in the past for Perry. The advantages to Perry are many. From a financial point of view, it is an absolute necessity. Educationally, the Perry program will be continued and broadened within the framework of a highly- specialized major. While we were pleased to have our students re- ceived Massachusetts Teacher Certification, now we are delighted to have them obtain the baccalaureate degree without transfer. We trust, also, that the integration of our students into the Curry community will result in a strengthened loyalty and unity of purpose. While Mrs. Perry and I will no longer be involved in the direct administration of the School, there will be representation on the Curry Board. More importantly, however, our interest in every one of you will always be with us throughout the coming years. We turn to each of you for your help in making the period of transition as smooth as possible. In the tradition of Perry School, the student body worked together to sponsor Parents Night. This food-filled and fun-filled evening will be talked about for years to come. 180 CHILDREN ' S THEATRE PRESENTS . . .
