The Colonels played their best football game of the year on Saturday against Plymouth State. The final score was 26-7, and a wine reception following the game gave everyone a chance to celebrate. The evening was highlighted by a very suc- cessful Cabaret put on by the many talented students of Curry. On a chilly Sunday morning, an outdoor com- munity gathering with champagne was held at Westhaver Park. There was a superb display of more of the local Curry talent. Sunday Afternoon, the Choppers played LaBaret Jr. College, and defeated them 40-12. The entire weekend was pleasant for all. Chair- persons Donna Nuzzo and George Malvey did an excellent job at making Parents ' Weekend the success it was. 30 HOMECOMING — 1974 Wm JfT0 15O MAX TICMCTS muST Bf VMUDAreO BY THf HOTEL CASHTKR D ' JNtR PATRON - SPHfrl AM I- 3 MR FBH iwnw It was a time for remembering: It was a time for celebrating the present: It was Homecoming Week- end1974. We started our remembering Friday night at the South Campus Auditori- um. Duke and the Drivers rocked to a large crowd. Saturday brought with it beautiful football weather. Curry led Albany State 16-14 until halftime, but the final score proved Curry on the wrong side of the coin, with a 50-23 loss. That evening found everyone at the Parker House attending a formal dinner-dance. The crowning of the new Homecoming Queen was the most memorable event of the evening. Nell McNeil gave up her crown to the new Queen, Donna Nuzzo. Runners-up were Marion Foley and Patty North. On Sunday afternoon, the Curry Choppers played Mt. Ida College in one of their best games. The Choppers beat Mt. Ida which ended a fine weekend on a perfect note. 33 HALLOWEEN DANCE WINTER WEEKEND In keeping with the tradition of past years, this year ' s Winter Weekend included the Friday night Banjo Band Dance and led to the big 50 ' s night with the SHITTONS. The atmosphere of the past was set with decorations and costumes of the 1950 ' s and everyone enjoyed dancing to the oldies but goodies . Sunday morning arrived and a beautiful snow fall had covered the campus to end an enjoyable and exciting Winter Weekend in a perfect way! SPRING WEEKEND jPHBHBHPi ' !f :. iMi ' M ' ' The CASSINO NIGHT was introduced to the Curry campus as an opening to Spring Weekend. The black jack, roulette and crap tables were set up and soon the chips were piling up. The successful night closed with a noisy yet exciting auction that was interesting for the participant as well as the observer. On Saturday, the Curry Colonels ' baseball team played a triumphant game against Barrington College. That evening was one of a quieter note as formally dressed couples attended the dinner dance at the Blue Hills Country club. After an excellent dinner the music was provided by Horse .

The Colonels ended a challenging season with a 5-3-1 record which gave them third place in the conference. The season had its ups and downs, in a battle for first place, the undefeated Colonels bowed to archrival Nichols College. However, the Colonels gave us much to cheer about: selected as Ail Conference Players were Richard Moran, Alan Williams, Dan Shaw and George Gardner, Tommy Fair was awarded the Golden Helmets Award which is given to the outstanding College Division player in New England, and Dan Shaw and George Gardner have both signed professional contracts. To the twelve graduating Seniors, Curry says thanl s for giving us an excitement and enthusiasm we will long remember. To next years team, we wish you much lucl and a championship under the new co-captains Marty Bissonnette and Rich Moran. 90 .l j ( ' a y i i l  j t r n | . i n ir i ' « 1 JllJ l .ijMf l . ' .- ' ■ ■ 92 ki --. ' n y 93 This year The Choppers showed everyone that they could play Football and do it justice. The girls played hard to win, and win they did. Their overall record showed three big wins and only one loss. In the first game against LaSalle, one of the Choppers ' key players suffered a broken ankle, but the team came through with a victory. The rest of the season proved to be very exciting even with their loss to Boston State. The Choppers will be losing some of the most dedicated Senior girls who have helped make The Choppers what they are. Maisie Weston ' s speed will be missed as well as Cindy Cole and Jackie Gilmore ' s strength on the line. . js - 94 i. j j .W- ' f 96 1 4 m a In a game that has a reputation of being fast and furious, the Curry Hockey Team proved that it could meet the challenge. In its first year as a Varsity team under the guidance of Coach Brown, the team posted a solid 10-4 record. With first line Seniors Rusty Russell, Perry Verge, and Norman Mcloed leaving, Curry loses much of the foundation on which the team was built. The highlight of Rusty ' s career occurred during this past season when he scored his 100th goal. Curry loses a solid foundation, but with potential like Tom Fair, Bob Stark, Jack Pierce, Brian Valleley and the rest of the team as a backbone, Curry will continue to meet that challenge. % % The Basketball Team started the season off strong, but lost their last eight games of the season. Leading with hoopsters was Issac Rutledge, who averaged 18 points and 9 rebounds per game; Mitch Morris topped the rebounders with an average of 12 points per game; and co-captain Gene Deloach averaged 13 points per game. The Team will undergo a coaching change next season with Dave Johnson taking the reigns. ■ :y ' i5i n I f ■ - ' ■ ' iixfS ' ' - • 104 - «rf. 5£. 105 106 „i«i sac— ,t.ss- 108 SPORTS AWARDS 1975 110 112 113 «: V 116 STUDENT GOVERNMENT AND ORGANIZATIONS EDITORS: Doreen Regan Frank Pouliot ' I The 12th Student Senate 1.

Yea, I shall return with the tide. And though death may hide me, and the greater silence enfold me, yet again will I seek your understanding. And not in vain will I seek. If aught I have said is truth, that truth shall reveal itself in a clearer voice, and in words more kin to your thoughts. THE PROPHET KAHLILGIBRAN SENIOR WEEK Senior Week was left out this year. Well, not exactly. They decided to let us finish up a week early and enjoy ourselves while the underclassmen took their exams. With everybody still around it took us a little while to get into the partying mood. It was a great day when on Wednesday May 7 at 3:00 a caravan of cars headed for the 3:30 clambake at Wares Cove in Newton. Two lobsters, all the clams you could eat, as well as all the beer you could drink. What a fantastic meal! Thursday was a busy day. The afternoon began with a senior Softball game and cookout which was later opened to all students. The food was great, the beer was cold but foamy. At 8:00 The Loose Caboose was opened one last time, for a senior get- together, and what a get-together it was! As one person decided, it was a lot easier to dump the beer on his head than to drink it. And so ended a long night. President Hafer gave us a wonderful cocktail party at his house Friday night at 5:00. This was followed a while later by a dinner dance in the cafeteria. It was later that evening that we learned of our friend Tom Fraiola ' s death. An occurence which was later said to have brought us closer together; perhaps closer than any class has ever been. For those of us who made it to the champagne breakfast, it was a somber occasion. The rehearsal began at 11:00 with a brief me- morial service given by Deans Fred Kirschenmann and Bob Capalbo. They reminded us that Tom loved a good time in life and that he would want us to go through with graduation having a good time. Some of us went through the Sunday graduation with smiles, some frowns, some uncertainty, and some just went. We made it through the two hours and were finally free. Senior week ended but we ' ve only just begun. You better believe it! 177 Commencement Eve: The Long Morning 180 On May 10 at 11 :00 A.M., a memorial service was held for Tom Fraiola. It took place prior to Commencement re- hearsal with the Class of 1975 participating. Deans Capalbo and Kirschenmann conducted the service. The follow- ing comments were made by Dean Capalbo: There are an awful lot of people in this world who go around, unfortunately, feeling very sad for themselves, depressed, down, and unhappy. Our friend and your classmate, Tom Fraiola, was not one of these people. He was a very happy person who enjoyed everything he did. Those of you who were in the play with him know how he had a sneaking suspi- cion that the one thousand Indians up in the hills were doing something more than making blankets! He had a habit that, at times, I found disconcerting. Regardless of what time it was, if he felt happy, if he was feeling good, then he wanted the whole world to know it. And, regardless of the hour or the place, he would let out a tremendous yell. And though it woke me up, and you too, we found it easy to roll over and get back to sleep knowing that there was at least one person in this world who was happy and so bursting with joy that he wanted to share it with everyone. He had an expression that he wanted to let it out . And let it out he did. Who will ever forget Tommy on Senior Night at the Pub? Anybody can chug a pitcher of beer but only Tommy could stand there, in the middle of the Pub, pouring pitcher after pitcher of beer on his head, laughing, and having a great time for himself. This was so t ypical of the good times he had. Unlike so many people he never had fun at anyone else ' s expense. His fun, to use an old fash- ioned but absolutely accurate expression, was always good, clean fun. He would laugh at himself and make others laugh with him. Tom got into a little hassle with his final grades and he came storming into my office Friday afternoon. Bob, you ' ve got to help me, he said. Some teacher gave me an NR and it was supposed to be a C. He said he would change the grade a month ago and he still hasn ' t done it. I can ' t graduate unless he does. Well, I told him to sit down while I made some phone calls and found the teacher for him. Then I told him to go over and straighten it out for himself. He came back a little while later, happy as could be. I did it! I got the grade! Now I can graduate! he shouted. And then he thanked me for helping him in this situation and for all the time that he had been at the College. How many students have I seen and how few have ever come in to say thank you? Tom did because that was the kind of person that he was. I told him how much I appreciated his thoughts and then, as we shook hands, he said that now he was going to go out and write his name on the list of graduates that was hanging on the glass wall outside my office. And he went out there and very neatly printed in his name Tom Fraiola . Then, next to it, in parentheses, You better believe it! Ironically, Friday morning, Mrs. Pettingill and I were having a discussion on eternity. Her attitude, her philosophy is so beautiful and really explains why she is su ch a youthful and wonderful person. I know that I am neither embarrassing her nor betraying a trust by sharing it with you now. She believes that after the body has died the soul of the person lives on forever in what she calls the perserverance of personality. He is with us now and he will be with us tomorrow. He will always be with us when we are happy, when we are full of joy, when we want to let it out . Tom, as you may know, was a Catholic. And we Catholics believe it you have a priest with you at the moment of death to give you the last rites, that you are taken immediately to Heaven. There was a priest with Tommy only minutes after the accident. God only makes this avail- able to those whom He really wants to take to Him. He is happy now with God. You better believe it. That which makes you uniquely you, your personality, lives on forever. And so, whenever you are having a good time, whenever you are happy, whenever you are having fun, please realize that you are helping to preserve the personality of our beautiful and gentle friend. Tommy. He was so full of joy; so full of happiness. .|g.| C?f f f i fmt etei -A C A ID E M 1 C QUADRANGLE •PROCESSIONALS Overture to The Occasional Oratorio - C.F Handel Gavotte - Samuel Wesley Andante and Allegro (Concerto 111) - William Felton Rigaudon - Andre Campra Pomp and Circumstance - Edward Elgar (Audience Please Stand) NATIONAL ANTHEM INVOCATION Led by Curry College Concert Choir Rabbi I David Oler Ahayath Torah Congregation, Stoughton Dr lohn Stuart Hater President, Curry College CLASS ORATOR PRESENTATION OF CLASS GIFT Joseph Michael Tenuta Michael James Dancey President, Class of 1975 CHORAL SELECTION We ' ve Only Just Begun - Roger Nichols and Paul Williams, Curry College Concert Choir COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS Jack C.Wilson President, Television News, Inc.

Wilson Guest Speaker Curt Gowdy Doreen Regan Recipient of New Era Award 184 mM ' EDITOR: Pat Sheridan ASSISTANT EDITOR: Carolyn Kudia I ' m very pleased and proud of the job done on the 1975 Curryer Yearbook — it ' s one of the finest publications of its size, and I think that this is the place to tell you about some of the people who put in a lot of their time and talent. Publishing a yearbook is no simple task, with the responsibillity of $7400.00 in Senate funds you can easily see why we wanted to create a positive image. Keeping this in mind, I chose editors with certain qualities, they represented creativity, hard- work, dependability and interest in the college. They are individuals who can best present to you the variety of aspects that make life at Curry so special. A yearbook would amount to very little without good pictures. Thanks to Randy Kohlenberger ' s patience, we not only had good coverage of events but also high quality pictures. I ' m happy to say that he is going to continue his work as the editor of the 1976 Curryer Yearbook. Copy Editor Ruth Burack spent hours typing, she was one of the persons who helped me the most with the billions of little things that make a smoother running organi- zation. Finally, a special thanks to Carolyn KudIa, she assisted me in every way possible. Her specialties included yelling back at me when I started yelling, soliciting advertisements, crying with me when things were going wrong, sound advise and criticisms, staying up all night when deadlines were due and most of all the constant reminders that this would be the best yearbook Curry has ever seen. We had many feelings about Curry College that we wanted to show in the book. All of us on the staff feel that Curry is the very special place spoken of in the prologue, we tried to show this through our photographs and copy. I hope you enjoy the book as much as we enjoyed putting it together and consid- er it to be a good representation of your life at Curry — because you are what makes it special.
