PRATT XV survey cjf the development of physical education must recognize a deep oldigation to the Pratt family of New York. Although physical education was undeveloped at the time of the founding of Pratt Institute, Mr. Charles Pratt, vSr. seriously considered creating a school for the training of physical directors. His son, Mr. Charles Pratt, was the donor of the gymnasium at Amherst College, and Mr. Fred Pratt gave to Amherst its athletic field. Mr. Harold Pratt gave to Amherst its fine natatorium. Mr. George Pratt is chairman of the committee in charge of the physical work of the International Committee of the Young Men’s Christian Association. Mr. Herbert L. Pratt, the donor of Pratt field to the Training School, was born on November 21 st, 1871, the fourth of the six sons of Mr. Charles Pratt, Sr. His father was a strong Baptist churchman, and was inter- ested through his factory development in the Standard Oil Company in the training of young men for mechan- ical pursuits. This led to the founding by him of Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. Mr. Herbert Pratt fitted for college at the Adelphi Academy in Brooklyn, graduating in 1891. While attending Adelphi he was interested in athletics, serving as captain both of the baseball and football teams. He entered Amherst College in the fall of 1891, and immediately threw himself into the athletic life of the college. He played on the football team during his entire college course, and was its captain in the fall of 1894. During his freshman and sopho- more years he was a member of the track team, and for two years won the light-weight boxing championship. After leaving college Mr. Pratt was first employed with the Bergenport Chemical Company, and afterwards at the factory of the Pratt Works, Standard Oil C ' ompany. He is now, after sixteen years .service, manager of the Kings County Oil Works, Queens County Oil Works, Long Island Refinery and Pratt Works, and also a director in the Galena Signal and West India Oil Coni])anies. Mr. Pratt is also a director in the People’s Trust Company, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Orphan Asylum, Old Men’s Home, Pratt ln.sti- tute, “ The Thrift,” Charles Pratt Coni])any, and treasurer of the Emmanuel Baptist Church. Mr. Herbert Pratt has Ijeen helpful for a number of years in the Young Men’s Christian As.sociation. He became one of the directors of the International Young Men’s Christian Association Training School at Spring- field, in June, 1904. He is one of the directors of the Brooklyn Young Men’s Christian Association, and has for several years served as chairman of the Young Men’s Cliristian Association at Greenpoint, R. I. Mr. Pratt has given particular attention to the work at Greenpoint because this is an industrial Association founded principally for wtjrk among factory men. In 1897 Mr. Pratt was married to Miss Florence Gibl). They have five children. In the fall of 1909 Mr. Pratt was appointed a member of the committee to secure a new athletic field for the Training School, and at his own initiative ofi ' ered to equip the field which now bears his name. No gift has ever been made to this institution which has been more heartily appreciated by the students. Gate to Pratt Field PREFACE JOR OLD SPRINGFIELD ” has been the slogan of the class of 191 1. That note of loyalty, tradition has bequeathed to us, ever bidding us keep the honor of our Alma Mater sacred and render it pure and unsullied to those who would follow us. Willingly we assumed the trust and reluctantly we pass it on. The endeavor has called forth the best that was in us. The new eonception of life and the worthy ideals held before us have demanded a higher standard of manhood which unblushingly administers a rebuke unto all wrong. For the attainment thereunto, we have striven and with a purpose. The spirit of our college days will be ever with us; its insistence upon complete development will be the dynamic motor of our lives. It is but to commemorate the activities of our student life, and to per] etuate our associations with our Alma Mater that we present this, the eighth edition of The Massasoit. FAMILIAR SCENES H e THE MASSASOIT 1911 1 2 L. L. Doggett, Ph. D. He comes smilingly lieforc the Senior class in reli ious education with a “Tiood mornin’, scholars” which i)roni])ts the echo, from the scholars, ‘‘Mornin’, teacher.” and then the Doctor lakes up his daily task of trying to find some way of inducing the Senior class to write a ] aper or read the lesson. Rumor has it that he did at one time succeed in securing a ]iapcr from a Senior but the author of such a rei ort has never been discovered. Aside from his attempts to entraj) the Seniors in some kind of study, the working of other ijcojile is his favorite ])astime. There is no rumor about the success in this second line of endeavor; facts jioint to great achievement. However, the students have learned to love their Pre.sident because he docs not have the habit of “butting” in on student affairs. “S))iile and the world sjiiiles U ' ith you, Cry ami you cry alone.” “ That rcniinds nc — ” THE MASSASOIT 1911 1 3 “ Servant of God, well done.” J. T. Bowne, M. H. One of the first men in this country to teach Y. M. C. A. methods and history was J. T. Bowne, and many a Secretary now in the field received his first inspiration to serve in the Association from this venerable member of the faculty. Mr. Bowne has served the Association long and well, and continues to fill an important position at the School. As Lil:irarian, he has the two-fold duty of kec]jing men out of the reading room during the chajjel exercises and of trying to secure a new library building. In Ijoth these lines of endeavor he has been but par- tially successful. But to any one desiring an inter- esting evening’s entertainment no more suitable l)lace can be found than Mr. Bowne’s relic room on Northampton Avenue. V-y-y-yoH m-ni-must not t-touch the fire- extinguishers.” THE MASSASOIT 1911 1 4 F. N. Seerley, BPh., M.D., M.H. Doctor Sccrlcy is the owner of “Brownie” and the Dean of the Institution. Other duties are his also i)ut these two command the greater j)ortion of his time. “Brownie” since the di.scovcry of the murmur in his lacart is not expected to see many more winters, a fact which troubles the Doctor. Then again as Dean he is more than disturbed by the “condi- tioiied” men who arc continually trying to work ofT the conditions or to work the Doctor. However, this haiJ])y-dispositioncd member of the teaching force spends his leisure moments in cracking jokes out of Noah’s joke book before the classes in j)sy- chology and histology. Otherwise there are many good things to say about the Dean. “Where’s ’Brownie ' ?’’ “Let me have men about me that are fat, Sleek-headed men, and such as sleep o’ nights,’’ THE MASSASOIT 1911 s 1 5 “Like the driving of Jehu, the son of Minshi; he driveth furiously.’’ H. M. Burr, B.A., B.D. 4 Automobilia is one of the most recent diseases to which the human race is subject. It has invaded the ranks of the faculty and attacked one of the best and brainiest meml)crs. Prof. Burr has fallen sick of the malady. He not only rides around the city in his automobile but he also talks about them in chapel. Gas engines and motors arc to him not only modes of locomotion, but also are an unfailing source from which to derive lessons and to draw similes. Yet in spite of this affliction, Prof. Burr is able to write books and fill the useful position as a teacher at the School. Mis ability as a lecturer in class and his habit of springing e.xamination sur- prises make him especially fitted as a pedagog. “And then he went SMASH to the other extreme.’’ THE MASSASOIT 1911 1 6 J. H. McCurdy, A.M., M.D., M.P.E. I)r. “Mac” (lis])cnses learning to the dignified Seniors iii the subjects of phvvsiology of exercise. ])hysical diagnosis and ])rescription, and physical dcpartmenl methods. In his spare moments during the fall term, he may be seen turning out a football team which brings fame to T. S. and arouses the admiration of its o])poncnts. Occasionally he ad- dresses aiidiences on various subjects but his special delight is to address a gathering on the subject of “Honesty,” and then proceed to purloin the Chair- man’s watch as a concrete illustration of his talk, llis de.sire to get at the bottom of things has led him into many a basement of the tall buildings to inves- tigate the heating and ventilating system. Dr. “Mac” has endeared himself to all because of his sym])athetic interest and friendship. “Hi ' a concrete illustration” “He was a man, take him for all in all, 1 shall not look upon his like again.” 4 THE MASSASOIT 1911 1 7 What can be found equal to modesty, uncorrupteJ faith the sister of justice, and undisguised truth. W. G. Ballantme, D.D., LL.D. Under ;ra(luates and graduates alike look upon Dr. Ballantinc as a big man, although he would never be mistaken for the coach of the football team. Every student of the Doctor’s classes knows him l hysically, as the little man with the small twinkling eyes ])eering out of a glowy face which extends con- siderably upward and backward. Mentally and spiritually, however, this important member of the faculty is great. Dr. Ballantine has won the affec- tion of every T. S. man by his modest and scholarly life as a revealer of religious truths. Unassuming in all his actions and painstaking in his efforts to inspire his classes with the spirit of scholarship, he goes about his daily tasks. To him the men of T. S. look as the source of that inspiration which has resulted in nobler Christian lives of service and of fellowship with God. Isn’t it queer?” THE MASSASOIT • 1911 1 8 Elmer Berry, B.S., M.P.E. Gray’s anatomy and Howell’s i)hysiology form the field of Mr. Berry’s activity as a })rofcssor at T. S. He is especially interested in the matter of proteid diet and its effects on the human system. His chan ;in i; of any old kind of fat into “Berry fat’’ has become a part of Trainin ' School history. T ' hc Second Football Team has benefited greatly as a result of his coaching and through his efforts have sprung many tricks which have ke])t the Varsity guessing. As coach also of the Fencing Team he has met with a large degree of success and has heli)ed to establish this sport on a firm basis. His untiring efforts in School work and his activity as Secretary of the Sunday School Athletic League have gained for him the friendshij of the students of the School as well as of the citizens of Springfield. What say you to a piece of beef a)id nmsiard ? ’’ 4 ‘LI hi h or loic proteid diet, that is the question THE MASSASOIT « 1911 1 9 “ But, by the Lord, lads, I am glad you have the money.” R. L. Cheney, B.S., B.H. Financially the faculty is strong since besides Drs. Doggett and McCurdy, Prof. R. L. Cheney is hot on the trail of the “mazuma.” With a past record as a newspaper man, he has acquired the necessary smoothness to j oint out the disadvan- tages of possessing too great a fortune and many are the “shekels” that roll into the Training School coffers as a result of his out of town trips. He also teaches association method and municipal sociology and here his spirit of hustle is counter-balanced by his cheerfulness. In addition to Mr. Cheney’s ability as a financier and as a professor he is a thorough lover of nature and finds much comfort in canoeing the lake and roaming the woods. “ ] ' oii men have a wonderful opportunity” 20 THE MASSASOIT 1911 F. S. Hyde, B.A., B.D. Prof. Hyde has three funetions, viz. : cramming history into the Preps, boosting the musically in- clined students and delivering chai)cl talks “a la improm])tu. In each of these roles he plays a witty part aside from the intelligence which he may impart. Humor characterizes his every move; yet there is always a time when the professor’s wisdom is poured out uj)on the students. To the Prc])S he is es])ccially ])rofusc in his dealing out of daily lessons; in history a dose of seventy-six pages is customary. To the musically fit, Prof. Hyde is a favorite. Hut it is when subjecting the chaitel exercises to an un])remedilated talk that he comes most clearly into the calcium light. Here he not only amuses but resurrects from his fertile attic scrajts of wisdom and sound reasoning. Prof. Hyde can well be termed the best “fellow” on the faculty and fills a need at T. vS. “ A-a-a it seems to me — ” “ .d little nonsense tioiv a hl then Is relished by the udsest men.” THE MASSASOIT 1911 2 1 “Alone, alone, all all alone, Alone on a wide,ivide sea.’’ 4 G. B. Affleck, B.A., B.P.E. Prof. Affleck is one of the singular members of the faculty, loves nature and dispenses bibli- ograj)hy. “No wedding bells for me,” he would say; he would rather ])addle his own canoe. He loves nature. First, “Because nature inspires one.” Point “one” under this heading, “Nature ins])ircs one because She is beautiful.” “Second” general topic, “Nature is loved because she is simple.” Point “one” under this second general head, “Nature is sim])le because she is natural.” The third general characteristic of Prof. x ffleck is that he dis])cnscs bibliogra]jhy. At one sitting of a class he forced u])on them 34,(152 references on the subject of bath- ing. Aside from these qualiheations this member of the faculty is pojjular with those who have an opportunity of spending a few minutes with him. “U’e’ll take some bibliography’’ 22 THE MASSASOIT « 1911 J. F. Simons, B.H. This cnial enllcnian for many years has filled, with admirable tael and yood jndj mcnt, the difficult ])osition of Assistant Librarian and Super- intendent of vSchool Property. In this latter capacity he has, year after year, abstracted two dollars from each student without even a breath of ill-feeling, while in the annual drawing for rooms he has man- aged it .so that dissatisfaction was never itrovokcd. Xo biogra])hy of Mr. Simons would be comiilete without reference to our new heating plant whose graceful towers are now adorning our campus. We understand tdiat the entire scheme emanated from his fertile brain — a i)roduction of which any man might be justly ])roud. Yet in spite of all that has been .said and done, Mr. Simons has a hard position to fill and the more intelligent of the students are aware of this fact. “ ] ' on had better see Dr. Doggett” “ Though he ' leas rough he u ' as kind. THE MASSASOIT -� 1911 23 “ would that he ivere fatter.” 4 A. G. Johnson, B.Pi., B.P.E. Wc had hopes that “Os” would have found a few words, not exactly to add to his vocabulary, but with which to give utterance when he took himself a wife. It was thought that his silence was due to a pre-occupied mind in anticipation of the great event but we see no apparent change in his language. The conclusion is that he is destined to be a man of “few words.” However, he makes up in other qual- ities what he lacks in speech. His willingness to assist the students in any task has won for him many staunch friends. He is favored also with a con- genial disposition which has won for him many friends among the boys of the city. A TOAST Ladies of the Faculty! Uhe Class of 1911 drinks a health to you. When the pictures on the accompanying page are faded by time, the memory of your kindness will glow with unabated fervor in our hearts. One of the great privileges of T. S. is the personal friendships between students and teachers, and this is in large measure made i)Ossible by your interest and self-sacrifice. Your presence at our feasts in hall and wood has been an inspiration to many whose homes were far away. With what graciousness have you welcomed us to your homes ! With what cheer- fulness have you seen huge quantities of refre.shments disappear before our all-consuming hunger ! In how many hearts have you raised new ideals of home and womanhood 1 In a few days we will sejjarate to the ends of the earth, but, before we go, permit us to drink this toast “ TT ie Ladies of the Faculty.

Ireasurer Senior Class History T IS always interesting to review the events of the past and to reeall the various developments that have taken plaee during three years of eollege life. So today, at the elose of our stay at old T. S., we look baek over the three years of time during whieh the elass of Nineteen Eleven made history. Entering sehool a elass of forty-five members, all strangers to eaeh other, without any class organization, it is of ])cculiar note that we have become a unit in many ways. First of all, only a few have dropped out, and a few two-year men have joined our ranks, so that, out of a class of fifty members graduating, practically all were with the class from the first. Again, in class prayer meetings, in chapel attendance, in athletics, and in social events ours is a glorious record of how the class responded loyally to the ideals with which it started. It is somewhat difficult for an historian to state just how ' much the teachings of the faculty and the study out- lined by the curriculum may have helped us, as each member has received and digested according to his own ability, and has made out of the stay here just what he himself with his possibilities was able to. But we feel they have done much. They have heljjed us in learning to do our own thinking; they have helped us to estimate values, and they have presented the truth without fear and with reverence for it; so that, today, instead of Original of Pratt Field Corn Roast at Ur. Reed’s Starting the Senior Trip Skating Party up the Lake THE MASSASOIT 1911 3 1 being crude in our thinking we feci we have made some advance. J3ut we have had only little opened to us. Per- haps we might say they have helped us lay the foundation. Now, let us build and, in the prayer of the poet, say, “Build me strong, oh worthy master.” Our work at T. S. is varied. i long with mental, social and religious, we class physical development as of just as much importance. This means a strong body of men to compete in athletic and gymnastic contests. In class games and in meets with other colleges we show ' what physical development means towards developing the all-round man. Nineteen Eleven has not been backward in sending her quota into basket ball, fencing, gymnastics, ice hockey, baseball, soccer football and rugby football, as a study of the emblem list shows. Perhaps the slow but sure method is the best in accomplishing any task. At least that was the method by which we as a class got together on social events. A few informal times, sitting around the fire in Woods Hall; a few canoe trips on Lake Massasoit, with the fairer sex as our guests, made us feel that we were doing something socially. But when our banquet came, in our Junior year, w e felt we could rank with any school organization in getting uj) a social affair. The corn roast at the farm of Mr. Reed, the Senior skate given by Professor and Mrs. Cheney, and Professor and Mrs. Berry, the visits to the homes of the faculty, all contributed toward develop- ing this side of our nature. We not only w ' orked up social times of our owm, but we co-operated w ' ith other gather- ings in making the social life at T. S. one that w ' ould contribute tow ' ard the high standard w ' hich had been set for us by previous classes, and w hich w ' c have endeavored to raise even higher. Getting acquainted in different homes throughout the city, coming into touch with the various social organizations of the churches, w ' hilc it really touches all the Student Body, is peculairly fitting to speak of here as we have been longest in touch wnth such and surely have not failed to take advantage of such times. Among the many times w-e have gotten together in fcllowshijj, the one that meant most to us was w ' hcn, after the service at the Church of the Covenant in Wa.shington, D. C., Doctor Doggett called us together for a few moments for exiJi ' essing those feelings that lie deepest wdthin us. As man after man, in a few brief sentences, told of the events of the Senior trip that had appealed to him, one noted the deep earnestness throughout it all and the consecration of lives to the service of fellow-men. And not only at that time did we realize that a deep religious conviction had j ossessed every man, but also in our prayer meetings we have gotten that which has given us ins]hration and cheer during the dark days of wrestling with the j roblems that our critical study brought before us. Many new developments have marked the various features of our school life as T. S. from year to year keeps THE MASSASOIT 191 1 3 2 up with the march of progress. It is quite httiuit, therefore, that tl:c Senior trip this year shoiild exceed any that have fjone before. Of course we had the largest class that has yet taken such a trip. Again, the trij) was extended to take in Washington, D. C ' . One might write jjages telling of our glorious time, but we must condense. The strenuous work of keejhng iq) with the elasses, the trying to do all j)ossible sight-seeing during our leisure moments, were a part of the trip, but we feel there was more than that. There was the meeting of men who are doing things in Christian work, anti realizing that they were men of ])ower. It was this that gave the real inspiration to the trip. The magnitude of the work a])])alled us. The deej) si)iritual note throughout all their eft ' orts caused VIS to pray that we, too, might be consecrated to such a life of service. T. S. grows raihdly in many ways. It is pleasing to us as Seniors to note the growth along building lines. Well we remember the dingv’ board fence that lirst greeted us when getting off the car. Today we proudly point to the imposing gateway and concrete fence that surrounds our athletic field. But wc arc proud for another reason also; our muscles, our si)irit, our energy, hel])ed to make, ivossilvlc such a field, for each student for three days took hold of ]hck and shovel and leveled down a l)arren, sandy lot, until today wc have the best athletic field in Xew England. Our new gymnasium certainly gives reason for our ]jlcasurc in pointing out the growth and de ' eIoi)inent of ' P. S. We look forward to seeing the new library building, at least begun, before wc say (iood-bye. Our vision includes a cami)us with many Iniildings not yet talked of. A parting is always sad. cs])ccially when we can hardly expect to ever again meet as a class. But the joyous note is sounded as we realize that we are going trirth to proclaim the great truths that have come to us from our study within the walls of our Alma Mater. We stand for the noblest and the best in life, and so today we end our history as regards our stay here, only to go forth to start a new history of the things accomi)lishcd by 1911 in the North, in the vSouth, in the East and iiv the West, and in the uttermost parts of the earth. 1 I Jk .

Baldy is one of our ambitious “dyspeptics” who attends Gym classes, sells calendars, assi.sts Warbler Wright in the photo-graft and when convenient, promotes social functions which keep others busy.

We are not sure whether the angelic look on the young man’s countenance was due to the latter f;ict, or to the training he received at the hands of Mrs. Baraw. Yes, Arthur is married, and be it known his wife is perfectly able to train him. He soon won prominence at T. vS. by becoming the President and Members of the Cat Chasers Society. He became so adept at this ])ursuit that he took up Marathon Running, and every day — fall, winter or s])ring — one could find him reeling off mile after mile on the track. Yet, withal, Arthur was a modest young man and it was a source of surprise to us, on returning last fall, to find him strutting around with a grin from ear to ear and his chest thrown out to abnormal dimensions. ' I ' he track no longer secs Arthur; we are told he docs all his training at home now, walking the floor with Jenneatte S. Elizabetli. In his vSenior vear, Arthur decided to specialize and make a study of Rhinitis or colds in the head. In his experimenting he endeavored to treat the faculty and students unawares. He certainly did a fine job from the sneeze standpoint, but science was unrewarded; instead, a five days’ leave of absence was granted our dis- heartened specialist. His experience in the Springfield Y. M . C. A. this year will give him a great start on his life’s career. Jingoes THE MASSASOIT 1911 37 HAROLD GETHING BEALL Montreal, Can.

S., he still retained his dignified air which we believe had much to do in his election as President of the Senate. He seems to be at his l)cst when wielding the senatorial sceptre, and the vigor with which he used it caused Bissell to say some things which it would not be well to rei)cat here. His ability as a fencer is well known and he has done much towards making the Fencing Team a success. Harold justly prides himself upon his favoritism with the gentler sex. In vain did he cast his eyes over Springfield, “but no ])each for me.” Not to be baffled he speedily organized a Missionary Conference and thus became accpiaintcd with the delegates from Smith and Mt. Holyoke Numerous tales might be written under such headings as “Looking for a Minister,” but the copyright of these we understand is held by Bissell. A hard worker, an upholder of the high ideals of T. S. with a firm hand dealing out justice, Harold has many friends at T.

He is quite familiar with the numerous contributions which his state has made to the world, and es]: ecially is he interested in its animals, his favorite being the mule. But with all his knowledge of that famous animal, he has acquired but few of its characteristics, perhaps excepting the bray. It is his great regret that he has not been sufficiently appreciated by a larger number. He has done good work in everything he has attempted except singing — there he is a horrible failure. Esau earned emblems in football, baseball and soccer. He is very modest about his gymnastic ability — and it is well that he should be so. Steady, reliable and original in his work, he is ready at all times to give a helping hand. Socially he is a bit shy and evidently does not believe in co-education, for he has never been seen with a lady at any of the various social functions of the school. Be it said to his credit, however, that he takes occa- sional trips to Hartford or Boston. In his social intercourse about Siu ' ingfield, he has met but few ladies, and they all agree that “while he is not handsome” yet he atones for that fact by being “so comical.” With lots of good ciualitics our old Missouri standby will make a showing wherever he goes. “Back home we — ” 44 THE MASSASOIT 1911 ( ' .lOVAXXl D’AXTOXIO “don” Philadelphia, Pa.

Being a haj)i)y mixture of quiet dignity and common “horse sense” our Bostonian friend has dwelt for four years among us without having agitated a rebellion or in other ways seriously disturbed the equilibrium of our institution. George is sociable, beyond a doubt. He is quiet but will talk when deeply interested. His notoriety has been achieved in two w ' ays; by his unparalled love for logic, and the deep concern and consideration which he feels for his roommate, Hidek. A queer combination — culture from “Bawston” and Hamiltonian restlessness. On the piano stool George w ' as right at home. Without him, waiting for meals at Woods Hall woidd have been dreary business, indeed. With the same steady mechanical motion he ground out the same old tunes then by an artful turn, setting the whole mob in an uproar with “Show me the Scotchman,” “Gee, boy, it was fine!” Several schemes for remodelling the ventilation of the universe were said to have emanated from his cranium which were practical indeed, but not for our time, we fear. Poetry was likewise Georgie’s hobby — there was a slight difficulty though, in his variation of style. Although he made the Varsity Hockey Team, this was not his greatest achievement on the ice; those circles and graceful twirls which he executed were the envy of many a small boy. His love of humor and appreciation of a good joke stamps him as a genial fellow, well met. Cheese and Crackers 48 THE MASSASOIT 1911 HAROLD MOXROE FISKE “harold” SpRiNi ' .FiELD, Mass.

By directing the college musical clubs and by playing for the Gym Team exhibitions, Gale holds a key ])osition in the musical life of the school. But this Gloucester youth is more than a genius; he is a good fellow and a real student. Although not a rough-houser, Fred fits harmoniously into the student life and makes friends by his congenial spirit. In his studies he has kept well above the degree mark, and seems to be inspired by some ideal which will make him an efficient man for serving young men.

With a reiHitation established while a member of Honhart’s peerless eleven, and Captain of the 1909 Team, Bill had little difficulty in winning back his old place this year. He spends his spare time in wielding the big stick over the Spring- field trio, being confronted with the task of moulding Pix, Fiske and Chauncey in Gym Team caliber, and Pix Fiske to win.

He has installed an insidious apparatus in his register for the deflection of this infernal heat into his domicile. Bill moves like the B. ik A.. Imt where he lacks in speed he makes up in power.

It may not be generally known, but he is an eloquent preacher and has been very active in his support of the French Con- gregational Church.

Miyata is noted for a number of things since he came to the school and not the least of these is his ability as a rat catcher. He finds a ready sale for these to Min and Cho. But his greatest triumph is on the tennis courts. Here he is King indeed. His utter lack of interest in the American girls gives us reason to believe that there is a certain little Ja])anee waiting for him across the water. The hard work he has done here at school has won for him the admiration of all his classmates, and we wish him success as he goes Ijack to Christianize the heathen of Jajjan. ‘‘Good morning, good morning” 60 THE MASSASOIT 191 1 SAMUEL XAIIAS -0 O yvxaajJj “sammy” Medford, Mass.

Being fond of the school emblem, he has worked hard at every activity which gave promise of reward. At Rugby, Xahas won special fame, not only in his class team but also as a member of the Seeond Warsity. As an officer of the Student Association, he has served us well.

Among his many characteristics he jjossesses a smile which is used as a fond disguise to cover contentment as well as anger. Throughout the course he has displayed great business ability. With the aid of Bill Caldwell from time to time he conducted sales — auction and otherwise — on which “he did not make a cent. No Sir!” As a reader Nat has, on many social occasions, charmed us with his .selections. He doesn’t come to Woods Hall now. After an unhappy imitation of Burkhalter he became an ardent advocate of milk showers for all visiting gentry and others and the vigor with which he pursued his action was highly tyi)ical of him. After a little jjcrsuasion he was shown that the time was not rii)e for such a radical departure from custom and was induced to adopt the bath-tub scheme where the cold waters of the Little River mains served as a substitute for the lacteal fluid.

Any reception, from leading tin bands about the campus to a rough-house, anything that had life and noise connected with it, he was generally there. Regularly we heard in the old dorm hallway the familiar call, “Telephone, Sal,” so that many came to set their watches by the call. Always in the front .scat in the class room, vSal displayed his interest and ajiprcciation toward the subject of the fairer sex. Frcciuently would he show his interesting smile to the fellows, who, of course, understood and sympathized with him. Never did man live who so delighted to talk, and then to talk some more. Realizing this, the Lee Literary Society chose him as a member of its debating team. In the dilTerent activities of the school. Salassa has done good work.

His hobby for gymnastics led him to become a i)crmancnt fixture in the gymnasium where his hair-raising stunts soon won him a name. The control which he exercised over his movements, especially the mechanism of his olfactory organ was mar- velous, and Yan always performed when the boys said, “Now Bunny! wiggle your nose.’’ Yan was happy when in close proximity with algebra and geometry, often forgetting meal hours. During his Freshman year he became famous as a hurdler; sometimes relating his experiences of skimming ash jiiles and wire fences on his hurried trip back to the dormitory during the wee hours of the morn.

He has always been a favorite with his classmates, but his success in attracting to T. S. functions the feminine element of Holyoke and Springfield is evidence that ‘‘our alTable and courteous gentleman” is more than a local favorite. Pew things delight him more than a meeting of a missionary character. As a warm supporter of the Student ’olunlccr Movement, he brought to the Training School the Connecticut Valley Student Volunteer Alissionary Conference, the success of which is adequate tribute to faithful and untiring work. We feci that Wilson is eminently adapted for a life of service. ”Say, fallahs” THE MASSASOIT 1911 83 SAMUEL FREDERICK WRIGHT “bug’ Orange, N. J. In the four years that Fred has been with us he has accomplished much both for himself and the world. His devotion to the cause of science is well known, especially to the residents on the second floor, where his investigations of gastric juices, as well as his bug and beetle raising stunts were conducted. His advocacy of Flctcherism was also ardent until he went to board at Woods Hall, where he sadly confessed it was impracticable. In the midst of science, Fred has not forgotten the gentler arts. The persistency with which he has wooed St. Cecilia can be attested by his neighbors who, listening to the melancholy thunder-like bellowings proceeding from Room 42, regard them as part of their inevitable sufferings. In the midst of such activities he has found time to run the school store — and, incidentally, Mr. Bisscll. The photographic business has flourished under his hands; and, if reports speak true, after a long period of uncer- tainty, he has made arrangements which may have a very important bearing upon his future life. Regardless of the truth of this report, his classmates wish him well in all his enterprises.

Instructions were given setting forth this intent, and the following sign was placed upon one of the prominent pines that adorn our campus; IXTHRXATIONAL V. M. C. A. TRAIXIXG SCHOOL It is stated that the faculty was not unanimous regarding the display of this style of architecture. Rumor has it that one ot their number, when i)assing that way in company with a group of students, suggested that were the sign to disappear, in his humble judgment no great inconvenience would result thereby to those responsible for the removal. By next morning the sign had disappeared, and no one knew where it was. X ' arious impiiries and mental search ])arties were organized, but to no avail and nothing furtlicr was heard of the sign. At the commencement exercises, directly following, the class of 1899 produced a key strung with their class colors. A certain odor familiar to the pine aroused suspicion that eventually led to an ex])lanation of the origin of the key. This key was handed over to the succeeding class, who likewise affixed their colors. The passing on of the “ The Key of Learning,” as it came t ' be designated, has since become a well-established custom at the reg- (dar commencement exercises. 86 THE MASSASOIT 1911 Class Prophecy CARIiFUL study of the many j)rophccies that have been written resulted in the investigation of the means employed, and later into a new and more scientific method. It came about in this way. I had spent my summer vacation in New York and, while there, I dsited many tlifferent magicians and soothsayers in hope that there might be found some definite means of unfolding the future of my classmates. Between June the fifteenth and Sep- tember the first, seventy-seven different mediums were visited, with the following results: Sixty-iiine out of the seventy-scveir said Washburn would not be married inside of a year after graduation; forty-seven would have had Dittemore sued for breach of promise; while fifty-eight insisted that Bissell could sing. There were various other absurd theories propounded, yet these three in themselves were so ridiculous that all hope of getting ])rophccy from this source vanished. While I was somewhat disappointed at not arriving at anything definite, yet 1 felt rewarded in that 1 had proven absolutely the fallacy of this kind of prophetic insight, and from now on was determined to acce])t no method or means other than would bear investigation. Three weeks spent at home helped to solve matters. When I arrivctl at T. S. in the fall, I had almost com- pleted a plan which I felt sure would be a success. Engaging the services of Charles Ritchie Wakcling and Dwight Thomas Bridges, two most noted and efficient hypnotists, I submitted my j)lan to them. llypnotism as it is generally understood consists in the suggestion by the conscious self to the unconscious or subliminal self, in which case the person in the subliminal self is in a deejj sleep, but can be awakened at any time by a suggestion from the conscious self. Carrying this a step further, we believed that the subliminal self, in a like maimer, by means of the iter a tertia ad quartum ventriculum, could suggest and operate on the sub-subliminal which is death. Thus, then, by the indirect method, we would have connection between the living and the dead, the past and the present, the present and the future. If. then, our experiment proved a success, and we could connect the present with the future, the matter of jirophesying would be simple indeed. We set ourselves to the task with great earnestness, determined, if possible, to bring it to a successful issue. On Wednesday night, October 30th, we descended into the “depths of Shcol,” which is the furthermost corner of the “bowels of the earth” to make our first exjieriment. After a final consultation with the experts, in which I bound them that they would not leave my soul in death, I submitted myself for the operation. THE MASSASOIT 1911 87 A few artful suggestions and I had entered the unconscious. I knew nothing of what took jjlacc around me from now on, except the voice of Wakeling or Bridges, as they sent me on to my destiny. Suddenly strange feelings came over me, new thoughts filled my mind, and I listened for lo, a voice from out the darkness gave forth this chant : Great are the works of my sons. Proud am I of their achievements; Go forth, my braves, to the u])lift of mankind, To help those more unfortunate than you are; Show by your life and example That Christ’s spirit is ever anew: Show by unselfish endeavour — Here the voice dropped away into silence, and I heard as I again caught the strain: O God, give them strength to be true. When he had finished, all was quiet, save that an occasional moan came from out of the darkness, which led me to believe he had retired for the night. I hesitated to speak, lest I should bring trouble on myself, but, realiz- ing that nothing could be gained by silence, I shouted, “Who art thou, O Sj irit? From whence comest thou, and who are these for whom thou prayest far into the night ’’ A silent stillness reigned, when out of the darkness I heard: “I am the Spirit of a great King, who once reigned su])reme on earth, who was loved and revered by his subjects; since coming here I have been in continual prayer for my braves, who go out each year to fight my battles. Thou hast done well to come to me, for long have I wished that I might speak with those over whom I ruled. I am Massasoit, and all that thou desircst will I reveal to thee; yea, the future shall be as the past in thine eyes.’’ “Follow me,’’ said the Spirit, “and I will sho w thee all things;’’ and as I followed him he took me to a high promontory. When I had sat down, he made as it were the future to pass before me, and I beheld great cities, wide fields, lofty forests, flowing rivers and many waters; a second glance showed that the cities and fields were filled with many different peoi)le of many different nations. “These,” said the King, “are they with whom you shall labor.” Already the cities and peojjle disappeared and there was before me a street in a gay city in France, and to my great surjudse I saw Louis hlarchand. He was wheeling a baby with one hand, while he carried a cane in the other. I wanted to speak, but “we must hurry on,” said the Spirit. Scarcely had France disap])eared when we arrived in Italy, just in time to see Signor D’Antonio and Spigett 88 THE MASSASOIT 1911 Salassa holdinj a revival service. After inllietinj themselves on the unfortunate eont rc ation for two hours, durinj which time they ave forth voluminous ciuantities ch ' hot air, some trouble arose over the method of ])rocedure. and the newly made converts enjoyed a s ood old C ' hristian fight. Leaving Don and Sal to .settle their disimte, we pas.sed on into India, where we found Nathaniclsz, trying to ])romote a V. M. C. A. Traini:ig School. After he had spent much time in (lisi)laying his i)lans, turning to me he said, “1 tell you. Smith, the trouble with the ])coi)le here is, they won’t all do what I tell them.” Ashe spoke he vanished out of sight, and 1 beheld Miyata seated on the floor in the midst of a grou]) of boys who listened eagerly as he sang “For Old vSjjringfield.” Fearing lest we should break u] the meeting, we left our smiling friend in the Orient, only to have our Alma -Mater come before us. -Many changes had taken ])lace since we left. -Ml the old houses and ice buildings had given place to new and finely eciuii iied buildings, the streets had been changed, while shady walks and tennis courts added greatly to the apiiearance of the camjms. - s I stood admiring the jirogress that had been made, 1 noticed a familiar-looking form a]jproaching me, and, as he drew near, I recognized him as my old friend -Skook. I was about to siicak to him when the Spirit withheld me, saying, “lie has charge of the social activities of the school. And,” said the Spirit, ‘‘he has revolu- tionized things to such an extent that it is slated on good authority that Mr. Bownc has cngagcct a jirivate dancing master. “The forms you see in the dim background are Martin and Beall. You will remember,” .said the Spirit, “how feeble Brownie was before you gr ' aduated. Well, it was found that if Brownie was to I ' cmain on the faculty there must be absoluteh ' no noise in the dormitory; consequently. Pop and Martin were recalled to look after that particular ])hase of instruction. However, desiiitc their heroic and untiring efforts. Brownie has ])assed away. “Step back,” said the Sjhrit, ‘‘for he that iqiiiroacheth thee would exact damage fund.” As he passed, I recognized the familiar exirression of Baldy. “The iircreascd number of students has made looking important and collecting damage fund too much for Mr. Simons, so he was relieved of the latter.” “Are there any other Ihl 1 men on the faculty ' ” 1 asked. ‘‘O yes. There is a fatherly looking old fellow called Payton, who, because of his harmless and inoffensive dis])osition. has charge of the young stenographers. He has his troubles with the students, however.” - s the Spirit finished sjieaking the cam])us gradually faded away into the background and on a little old red building at the outskirts of the camjms I read ‘‘R. V. ROGERS, i)ealer in Fruits, Biscuits, Doughnuts and Pie.” “Before leaving vSpringheld.” said the Spirit, ‘‘you had better call on FAske. He will have many things to tell you.” 1 found very little change in Harold. ‘‘I tell you. Smith, ”he .said, ‘‘Association work is all right, but 1 find I can buy goods cheaiJcr in vSpringheld than any other city; for instance, I can go into Haynes CAmipany .” -An accident occurred, which took his attention for a moment, and, seizing my opportunity. THE MASSASOIT 1911 89 I asked him if he had heard from Pixley lately. “O yes,” said Fiske, ‘‘finding Association work not strenuous enough for his gigantic frame, he became a missionary to Cannibal Isle. He said in the last letter I gcA from him that he felt perfectly safe as long as he could keep the natives ignorant as to the food value of soup.” As the procession moved on, large fields of snow and ice came before me, and a dog train passed rapidly into view. I was wondering who of the fellows could be away ujj here when the voice of the driver rang out, and, as he shouted to his dogs, I heard, ‘‘IIe vhat you tink, anyhow; yes, no, hey vhati ' ” Anxious to learn what Van was doing up in this region, I asked my interpreter, who said that he was employed as County vSecretary for the Esquimaux. Journeying backward from the North the Spirit informed me that Best, Bradshaw and Pryke had gone to Western Canada. Best, it ajjpears, had voluminous intentions of revolutionizing the Canadian Theological World with his heretical ideas, ljut came in contact with a goo d old deacon — i)resto change he went smash to the other extreme. Bradshaw, not finding secretarial work sufficiently strenuous, changed to physical work. Me and Archie have developed a fine work at Fort Ilojje. Archie, ‘tis said, makes a specialty of attending the ladies’ auxiliary meetings, where he ])crforms such menial duties as disposing of the left-over ice cream. ‘‘This is a little French Canadian village in Ouel)cc,” said the vSjnrit. ‘‘The store you see on the corner belongs to your old classmate, Bisscll.” As he spoke a little, round, fat old man emerged from within, and waddled across the street. Could that be Bissell, I wondered! ' My curiosity was soon satisfied, for a voice from across the street shouted; ‘‘Hello, Bisscll, old kid,” and, much to my surjjrise, McQuin appeared. From their conversation 1 learned that Mac, grown weary of Association work, had reverted to his natural occiqjation, and was the ]jroud owner of a fishing smack. Reciprocity had ruined the industry in Gloucester, so he had moved to a Canadian fishing station. ‘‘Say, Mac, I had a letter from Keyes a short time ago. You know he and Moyer have been jdaying pro- fessional ball with Keene; well, they are l)illed for a berth with the Red Sox next season. Sammy Nahas has been managing the Bostons for the past two years, and Sam says it’s a sure go. Sammy will give them a chance. I hope they make good. Biz, old kid.” ‘‘Say, Morton, have you ever heard from vSumner ' ” “Why yes, he’s in Keene. He bought a small farm in the suburbs where he spends his entire time herding goats on the hillside. He was a queer one, wasn’t he ' Never mixed very well.” “They have told us all they know,” said the Spirit, “and you had better return to earth for the day will soon be u]3on us. Already the grey dawn comes over the Eastern sky. 1 would serve thee again this coming night,” said the vSiririt, as it vanished to jrarts unknown. The next thing I heard was Wakeling’s familiar voice, as he assured me that my condition would be perfectly normal ujron coming out. We sjrent but a short time discussing the results of our ex])eriment, but hurried off to our beds, in preparation for the coming night. Exactly at the midnight hour we were on hand t j proceed. The process of connection took but a short time, 90 THE MASSASOIT •� 1911 and I was again ushered into the presenee of the Spirit. Greetings exclianged, the proeession began. In speaking with the Spirit about Emerson, I was not surprised that he had followed the line of his natural endowments, for, said the Spirit, “He has achieved great fame in the literary world. Probably his greatest contribution is a poem written in iambie-trochaic-dactylic-pcntameter-hexameter-blank verse, which has attracted a great deal of attention.” I remembered that George had written in this style while at school. Further inquiry was hindered by the appearance of a great city with crowded streets, where I gleaned from the billboard that an Aviation Meet was in progress and that this afternoon at three o’clock Prof. Simpson would be seen for the first time in his hair-raising feats. Not wishing to see Simp break his neck, I suggested that we would not wait for the perform- ance. As the crowd disappeared there came into jn ' orninence a heavy old farm-wagon drawn by a couple of mules equally ancient. It did not require much time to recognize the bent fonn of Dittemore, but I would never have known the hairy old gentleman b} ' his side had I not heard Dittemore say, “I wonder where George Rice is now, Courleux?” “He went back to South Carolina,” Esau replied, “1 guess he will make the big league this season.” As the wagon rattled along the Spirit informed me that they had liought plantations side by side. “Is Courleux married?” I asked. “No,” said the Spirit, “but Dittemore has family enough for the two. “List I” said the Spirit, “What noise is this? Who is this that howleth like a she-wolf, more horrible than all the groanings of Shcol?” Listening 1 could hear Fred Wright’s voice. He was singing, “Love me and the world is mine.” “Stop, fiend!” shouted the Spirit, “or thou wilt have all the powers of darkness upon thee. Thou hast disturbed the very tlcpths of hell with thy detestable groanings. Get thee away if thou wouldst save thyself, for already evil spirits seek to avenge themselves upon thee.” As Fred rapidly disappeared the Spirit said, “Make haste and follow me, lest we be overcome by the spirits in their wrath.” As I followed, I was led into an inner chamber, wherein are kept the records of all things yet to be done, and opening a large book 1 read that A. O. Anderson immediately after graduation went back to Sioux City where, in addition to coaching high school athletics, he secured a job on a local paper, thus adding to his bank account, and bringing nearer his much desired end; that Baraw at the age of 42 was still running. As I turned over one of the great pages in the book, at the top in large headlines I read, “Life and Work of P ' ather Delahanty.” A glance at the sketch was enough to tell me that Del had made good. On the opposite page a newspaper clipping read as follows: “ ‘Cleveland Plain Dealer,’ June 15, 1911, Pasini came home last night. Never has such a noise struck.lown since Pat left us.” Replacing the clipping,! read that vSkartvedt had left the physical work. It seems that this special type of work was too small for such a large man, so it behooved him to enter the ministry. “You will be surprised,” said the Spirit, “to hear of your brother.” “What’s he done’” I asked. “Belated material and open hostilities of the board were too much for the editor; he’s gone back to the farm to recuperate.” “1 don’t sec anything about Storr and Summers here,” I said. “Jack,” said the Spirit, “has become immensely rich. He conceived of the idea that every pair of American trousers would make two pairs like those worn by the Australians, so he is doing a great business in exporting and making over second-hand clothes. Jimmie, THE MASSASOIT 1911 91 grown weary of gymnastics, brings a cargo of Australian parrots to America each year, where he disjjoses of them at an enormous profit. He had trouble with one load,” said the Spirit. ‘‘Thinking it would increase the value of the birds, before leaving he taught them to sing, ‘Australicr,’ but ill-luck faced the poor birds; they were thrown overboard after the first offense.” As I turned over another leaf I read as follows, ‘‘Now gentlemen, I contend we should have home rule in Ireland, for these three reasons. (1) The Irish people are fast becoming intelligent and should govern themselves. (2) It daws not become the dignity of an Irishman to have an Englishman lord it over him.” I did not wait for his third argument, but turned the next page to discover that Bill Howard had joined the Springfield police force where his good influence and early education had shown themselves in many ways. Probably his greatest contribution to the city of Siuingfield was the successful arrest and conviction of Chauncey Lewis, an outlaw, who because of his notorious borrowing and never returning, had become a menace to society. I was surprised to read that Washburn had achieved great fame as a private tutor, so much so, that his advice is sought for on all questions relative to the reducing of fat. The last page of the book was given over to Malcomson. It ajjpears that Malcy had conceived great ideas of organizing an orphan asylum, and that a certain young widow, with charming features, and a superabundance of children, hearing of his benevolent scheme, became very much attached to it, and volunteered not only to devote her life to the enterprise, but to supply the first instalment of children. Her generosity was too much for Malcomson, who was so overcome that on the spur of the moment he forgot all rules of propriety. The natural result followed and our innocent friend is the jjroud possessor of a wife and seven children. When I had closed the book, it disa]jpeared and before me was a number of pam]:ihlets. As 1 opened the first one I read that George Schnurr, after graduation, had s])ent the summer at Silver Bay. From there he went to Albany to take charge of the physical work in the Y. W. C. A. Besides being successful physically, by his cjuiet and inoffensive manner he has also had some social success, as is evidenced by the fact that he maintains a home of his own. The second pamphlet was in letter form and read as follows: ‘‘Dear Doctor Doggett: — I am right in the midst of the busy season down here. It’s pretty hot here now too, but I don’t mind it so very much except that it keej s me awake nights. I have several athletic leagues formed here now, baseball, basket ball, tennis, and I am at present coaching a football team. It’s too warm here for gym work, but will start classes later. Regards to all the fellows. L. C. Wilson.” The third pamphlet told me that Van Velsor had gone back to Buffalo, where after a year of experience he was given supervision of the Buffalo playgrounds. While not actively engaged in playground work he tours the country, giving lectures on public hygiene. I was somewhat amused on oiicning the fourth to find that Fred Gale had been written up as a lady. However, the Spirit informed me that Fred had played for a number of years in a ladies’ orchestra, and this fact, together with his many effeminate qualities, had caused the writer to make the mistake. 92 THE MASSASOIT 1911 “The ni ht is far s]X ' nt,“ said the Spirit, “and I must away. h )llow me aj aiu I ] ray thee, that I may tell thee more that thou wouldest know.” As we i)assed from the inner ehamher, I learned that Bill Cook had gone to China. “When last heard of. said the Spirit, “he was organizing a Chinese Baseball League.” Fearing that the S])irit would leave me and 1 woidd return to earth with my task incom])lete, I was about to ask about Bridges and Wakeling, when I saw before me a huge ])laeard on whieh was written, “ ' I ' he world’s greatest hy])iiotists. Bridges and Wakeling, will be seen at Vilbraham tonight. Performaiiee will take place in the Town Mall at eight o’clock. Admission 10 cents. Children d cents.” When I luul linished reading 1 turned to express my gratitude to the Spirit, l)ut to my amazement 1 was alone; the Spirit had gone. Around me all was darkness, and the deathly silence that ])revailcd, chilled me with fear. Presently, I felt myself gradually changing and as 1 neared the unconscious state my thoughts and ideas faded away and there apjjeared the form of an aged man. lie was robed in white. As 1 watched him he o])cned his mouth and spoke, but alas for me I could neither hear nor understand. As the distanee between us Irecame greater I saw him at last throw u] his hands in prayer and coming up through the dim distance I heard, “() God, give them strength to be true.” THE MASSASOIT 1911 93 Prophecy on the Prophet HE past year, 1944, was the most strenuous that I have ever experienced. When my predeces- sor, Mr. John R. Mott, retiretl two years ago, his one chief wish for me was to finish the cam- paign which had been started to raise $3,()0(),()()0 for the establishment of the Gospel and Association in Kamchatka. When this could be done the goal of evangelizing the world would be accomplished. We succeeded in raising the fund, and I was advised to take a vacation of three months in Western Canada to recuperate. On my return to duty, by act of Providence I was com- pelled to spend a night in tlic town of Cowley, B. C., in order to make train connections the next day. I set out to look for a reasonal)le hotel where I might rest my weary carcass. Directly opposite the station, 1 spied a destitute-looking building, displaying a destitute sign, “Home for Destitute and Decrepit Y. M. C. A. Officers.” Believing in signs, I navigated my way up the ste])s and inquired for the keeper. I was introduced to a short tow-headed old gentleman, and recognized under his careworn physiognomy my old friend. King of the Rough-housers, F. L. Smith. He fell on my neck and wept tears of joy. “Well, old boy,” said he, “no doubt you are suri)rised to see me here. I have given the best years of my life in service and am here finishing up the job. “As you know, I dropped from that glorious Heaven, T. S., into an Assistant Secretary’s job at Kankakee, Michigan. The inspiration which 1 received in the Association Methods Class while at T. S. led me to publish that famous book, ‘ The Relation of the Secretary to the Ladies’ Auxiliary.’ Kankakee couldn’t hold me, so I accepted the offer of the American Tract Society to be their Colporteur and Circulating Manager. Those were the glorious days. How 1 schemed to attract the attentionof those wild, yelling cowboysthruout the Western states, with my infant organ. The chorus of music held them spellbound. After dancing the Tarantella, I had my audi- ence’s attention and took advantage of the ])sychological moment by distributing the tracts to outstretched hands. “I held this job down for a few years, but never felt divinely called for such work. “The opportunity of my life came when I was offered the Physical Directorship of the Old Ladies’ Home at Helena, Montana. After considerable hard plugging, I placed the work on a firm footing. The greatest success was our Basket Ball Team, which won the championship of the town from the Women’s Relief Corps of the C. A. R. I was making good, es])ecially with the women, when I found myself out of a job as a result of an earthquake which destroyed the town. I sent John Glover my photo and twenty-five cents, and he sold me this job. Our work here, being of a unique nature, is prospering and as a reconstructive type is especially adapted to the infirm. Give my regards to all and tell them Anagance is still on the job.” 94 THE MASSASOIT - 1911 The Shaker alias The Totem, alias The Quaker Oats Man HIS ])cculiar man was first brought to life by the Class of 1904 who ])rizcd him as their “God of War” probably because this class had made a warlike crusade upon some Springfield confectionery. At any rate they claim to have come by him honestly and “William” entered upon his checkered career at the Training School. “William” always headed the class ])roccssions and whenever a football game was going to a foe, the Shaker was brought out between halves in the embrace of 1904 who largely outnumbered the rest of the school. However, the “Shaker” was in the shaking business and now the fun begins. The totem had been left in “Rath’s” room where on a beautiful Sunday evening as Rath had gone to church, a self-appointed committee secured a pass key and the next time the Shaker awoke he found himself in a barn across the lake. After a year and a half of barn-confinement he was brought to the dormitory and placed in Oscar Martin’s room where he was left quite unprotected. Then it was, that on a dark and stormy night the Class of 1907 laid violent hands oir the Shaker and carried him to a house on Catherine Street where he again remained for a year. But the evcr-vigilant police of Siwingficld had seen the robbers crossing State Street and gave chase, thinking that some foul deed was being committed. After a long explanation, however, the officer finally allowed the Shaker to proceed on his journey. Now the Class of ’(Hi entered into the conflict and without even a.sking the l)crmission of the ’()7crs took the ()uakcr man from Briggs’ room where he had been THE MASSASOIT 1911 95 transferred from the Catherine Street al)ode. Although the innocent totem was securely bound to the wall with heavy cables, the heartless Class of ’(Hi wilfully filed the Shaker from his lodging place. Away went the totem to another home, despite the earnest protests of the ’07 Class to have him restored to his place in Briggs’ room. Finally, seeing the great despair of ’07 the Class of ’(Hi kindly offered to return “William” to them but it was all too late, their hearts had been broken. Thus it was that “Pop” Garfield was given possession of the Shaker and for years he rested quietly at “Pop’s” home. But when the Class of 1000 returned to celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of their Alma Mater, in the spring of 1910, they decided to S])ring something on the “boys.” And a surjmise it was, on ’00. On the shoulders of twelve stalwart ’OOers the vShaker, who had not shaken for so long a time, appeared before the alumni carnival, which was then in progress. Then while the alumni, ’OOers and the rest were intently watching the circus, Simpson of Nineteen Hundred and Eleven stepped to the front and spirited the totem away. Hot on his footsteps were the ’12 and ’13 classes but their pursuit was all in vain. The Shaker had once more shaken a class and ’00 cast mournful eyes in the direction of the disappearing Quaker. Dittemore, Courleux, Rice, Erfling and Dclahanty led the band of free-booters who were hurrying off with the spoils of the day.. Away up in the attic of 105 Aldcn Street the stolen man remained during the winter of 1910-11 until Dr. and Mrs. McCurdy gave permission to j)roduce the villain at a reception given to 1911 in IMarch. On this occa- sion Delahanty brought the dead to life and after referring to the past history of the Shaker introduced him to the assembly. After this first puljlic ajjpearance of the vShakcr, he was present at many of the class functions and many arc the fond memories which reappear when he is jjresented, in body, spirit or picture. What became of him after the Class of 1911 passed into oblivion will be a matter for other authors to recite. 96 THE MASSASOIT 191 1 Our College Ideals IIOL ' LI) every man upon enterinij the ])orlals of our Training vSehool plaee in writing his ideals as a neweomer. then at tlie elose of the eourse revise them, what a revision we should find. There is a ehange slowly and gradually taking j)lace; slowly and surely in every loyal son of Springfield. None of us for a moment would doubt the high motives that imjiellcd our eoming here. We had strong and definite eoneeption of our lifework before us, j et new ideals have come and with them new visions, which have broadened our eoneejitions and given us a clearer scope of the meaning and interjiretation of life. Reviewing life, we feel that a moulding inlluenee has been unconsciously at work, reshaping our lives. Old ideals have not ceased to be; simply new ])oints of view have cau.scd us to see life from a different standpoint. Learning the early struggles and later history of Sjiringficld men, we gradually come to realize her ambitions for each of her sons. A vision is before us of the men we would become, and love to sec. as sons of this beloved institution. We would not be attracted by the narrower, one-sided vie v of life; all must bear toward the general develojmient of the fuller man. Physical, intellectual or spiritual wcaknes.scs would be builded u] with this in view. Nothing must enter therein that would lessen the capacity for a life of service; all should work to the honor and glory of man and God. Should not the Springfield man become a lover of the college grounds, buildings, faculty and his fellows? Yes, all this as necessary ])hases of our college life. Yet there must be something more. Springfield, the ])ioneer of modern education institutions, after twenty-six years of .struggle is seen rising and entering those realms hitherto unknown among educators. The value of the whole man, the man of intellect, the physical man, the social man and the man of God is before us, and ever has been throughout our course. Life has become a greater dsion. God is here, the Kingdom is coming, and we are workers with God, living and teaching the sihrit of Jesus. We arc part of it all and the God within us, working thnnigh each in the -ears to come, is the vision which drives us onward with our fellowmcn ui)ward to God. - ' ' . - “••I PHI . t ' |lll r! � J|i H,hiHH (ni)lI|(fW ' ' ' ' m vtt.

I ' rTTi.i-, Trensnri ' r Junior Cl ass Hi ory WE gathered at Old T. R. last fall for another year of hard work, President Rmethurst, upon looking over the class, found ten of our mcinbcrs absent and during the year nearly as many have dropped out, thus greatly redueing our ranks. But their jjlaces have been filled by a number of two-year men who have joined nobly with us in pushing the Class of 1912 to the fore. vSo we have passed through a successful year and have held our own on track and field as well as elsewhere. In accord with the vote taken against King Massasoit and his followers last siiring, we did not greet the incoming Freshmen and Preps with the usual “warm” rccejition and introduction to the mighty King, who was buried on the afternoon of the opening day of school. As a sulistitute we were to match up against the Freshmen in a tug-of-war. After gathering on one bank of the cove across the lake we faced the Freshmen and got ready for the sturdy pull that was to introduce the newcomers to the mighty waters of Lake Massasoit, At the first pull we had them well started down their bank when, fortunately for them, the rope broke. After several subsequent efforts in which the rope repeatedly broke, the contest was called off, and we returned to the dormitory where we listened to the “law” as it was laid down to the new men by the Seniors. After this we all joined in the school songs and the idc-eating contest. Then followed a general mixing to get acquainted. One noticeable thing the next day was the ease with which the new men were able to get about, and the lack of discomfiture as they sat down. On the evening of September twenty-six we were called together uj) the lake for a class reunion. After a 1 00 THE MASSASOIT - 1911 bountiful spread of hot dogs, rolls, etc., our President outlined the aims and i)olicy of the class for the year. We all enjoyed a ])leasant e ening and felt more closely hound together thereafter. As usual, we enjoyed our annual Mountain Day trip, this year to Woronoco. On Thanksgiving day we gathered at Woods Mall and vied with the other classes in putting away Mother Key’s good things, and in our class songs and cheers. Ill athletics we have achieved our greatest success, having furnished nine out of the sixteen Varsity football men, live of the thirteen soccer men, and .seven of the nine basket ball players. Beside this splendid showing, we have held our own in the class games. We have to our credit two victories from the Freshmen and one from the Preps, having won the football and soccer matches from the former and the soccer match from the latter. Again, at our class banquet on March fourteenth, we tastetl the best of Mother Key’s efforts. Here we wel- comed to our fellowship our newly elected honorary members, Mrs. Key, Professor and Mrs. Berry, and Pro- fessor and Mrs. Johnson. Our Social Committee is to be heartily congratulated for the excellent way the things were arranged, for it was a j)leasant evening spent together. Now we are drawing to the close of our second year and the home stretch is before us. We are soon to take the place of the Seniors, not only iii the classroom, but in every phase of our school life. What does this mean? ' Arc we capable of filling the place we return to next fall? We can do it. Let every man put his shoulder to the wheel, and push, and we will succeed. We have the making of the incoming class within our grasp. What we do will largely influence the actions of the new men, so let us see that our influence flows in the right channels and, as Doctor Hume would say, “Play iqj and play the game.’’ FRESHMAN CLASS FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS 1).

On our arrival, September, 1910, we were met by upper classmen, whose cheery words of welcome and “true good hearted shake of friendship’s hand for friendshij)’s sake” made us feel the spirit of comradeshij), which will be found of lasting value. Next day we were summoned into the chapel liy President Doggett, and at the sound of the gavel the roll was called and school began. We were treated with great respect by the upper classmen, who, seeing what a husky bunch we were, decided not to initiate us. On Wednesday, September 28, we were escorted by the Seniors and Juniors to Woods Hall, and there we met the faculty and their wives, who very warmly welcomed us to our new life. In a very short time we got to know one another, and found that we had representatives from all parts of the globe, viz. : Africa, Russia, Canada, Korea, England, Burmah, Australia, British Guiana and Scotland. At a class meeting on November lOth, the class officers were elected, and class colors, PURPLE AND GOLD, were adojited. On the lllh of October, at our first social stunt, which was a “Dog Roast” on the banks of the Massasoit, we discovered much talent, both musical and elocutionary. Subsequently, eight of our number are members of the Glee Club. THE MASSASOIT • 1911 1 04 Our first Thanksjtivins dinner in Woods Hall will never be forgotten. With our songs and cheers we hit the mark every time, and more than held our own against the other classes. After the Christmas vacation the ice on the lake was so good that we took advantage of the opportunity and had a Skating Carnival, which proved eminently successful. In football, we won from the Preps 15-0. Next came the Juniors. Most of their candidates for class honors were members of the Var.sity Seconds, and, being much heavier than our eleven, beat us by the score 10-3. In soccer we ditln’t get a chance to play the Preps, but gave the Juniors a dig. The final score was: Juniors, 3, Freshmen, 1. On February 23, we played the Preps in ice hockey, and in a good hard game beat them 5-1. The next dav the Juniors greeted us on the rink with looks that seemed to say, “Hail, Freshmen, the men thou art about to lick salute thee.” We won the game. The score was 5-0. Well, here we are, at the end of our first year. How the time has flashed by! It seems but a few weeks since we arrived. One of the many things that will always stand out in our memories is the fellowship we have enjoyed with the faculty ami their families. The class of Nineteen Thirteen has come to the conclusion that Old T. S. is second only to home. PREP. CLASS .1. W. I’avxk, President PREP. CLASS OFFICERS .1. (i. Eadik, ViCE-Presideiit W, C.

As nearly every man had been out of touch with stiuh- ami school life for a period of three or more years, it was with no little uneasi- ness that we faced our year’s work. 1 ' he (lei)osition ami sudden death of King Massasoit brought relief. It was with outward sorrow, and inward satisfaction, that with bowed heads we followed the solemn procession to ])ay a last trilnite to his dejiarted soul. “May he rest in ])cacc.’’ The first few davs were bewildering, but the kind sympathy and jjaticncc of our professors set us on the right track. It gave us satisfaction to note that our professor in English was the very Best, and we could not Hyde our appreciation of the efforts of our ])rofcssor in History. As footlxdi was new to the majority of us, and we had not really become settled in our work, we were not rej)resented on the ’arsit - team, ' rhe Freshmen received the scare of their lives, however, in the inter-class game, and that helped some. At the first class meeting, held in September, temporary officers were elected and the class colors, Crimsoii and Gray, were chosen. Of the few men who could skate, a class liockcy team was picked, -which made a very creditable showing against the experienced ])laycrs on the Freshman team. We were glad to welcome three new members into our class at the beginning of the winter term. With hard pluggiiig during the first term we gained the art of concentration, which made our winter term’s work come more easily. ' Fhis enabled us to ])ut an effort into our gymnasium work, with the result that three of our men secured ’arsity emblems, one with the basket ball team and the other two on the gymnastic team. d ' hough our work left us but little time for pleasure, several class socials were held, and served to bring the fellows into closer contact. Among these, the dog roast up the lake and the evening spent at the home of one of our classmates will long be remembered. Our Thursday evening prayer meetings were a source of real hcljj to us all. As we look back over our first year’s work it is wdth a feeling of sincere appreciation of the kind, sympathetic interest of the faculty and the splendid fellowship extended to us by the upper classmen. It has been an ins])ira- tion to us; and we, the Class of HU 4, go forth determined to be worthy sons of old Springfield. ►t A’ Haskkt Bai l IMIi CLASS CHAMPIONS Baskbai.l H� 1. ' IIockkv nu.5 SoCCLE? THE MASSASOIT 1911 I I 0 The U nion of Spirits N those days when man lived not in jjeace with his fellow man and tribe made war with tribe, the Great Spirit looked down o’er all the earth and was troubled. His ehildren contented themselves not with the hunt of the stag but lived in enmity and warfare one with another. The Great leather looked o’er all the earth and found but one righteous Gerrisha Princess of the pine. Grieved at the wickedness of his ijcoi le he decided to leave his hunting ground on high, descend as a mortal, woo the Princess Gerrisha and live as an examijle for all men. He left his high throne, l)caring naught but his peace pipe with him. Gerrisha loved to stroll about in the moonlight. Standing on the edge of the Great Water she gazed iiito its glassy surface. It had been told her that shmdd she ever have a lover he would find her thus. I ' Tom this marriage would come forth a son who would restore the unitv of man and ]3cacc unto all mankind. M using thus, a light far brighter than the moon flashed on the waters. Gradually it faded away, leaving a dark fonn mirroreil on the surface. Turning she beheld a tall youth girded with a wamjjum, holding one much smaller in his hand. Gently fastening it about her waist he drew her back from the water. Willingly she went with him, hand in hand to the midst of the pine grove which looks over the Great Water, to their neighbors, and the Great Sand Pile beyond. Summer and winter passed and passed again and there was born a son. Fears came in the mother’s heart as she wondered, “Is it he ' ” Day by day they watched the youth grow up until finally Wamus, as he was called, fell in love with Oga, the daughter of the West and was content to live a quiet life in a wigwam of his own. A second son came to rejoice the hearts of the parents. When but a day old he leaped from his mother’s anus into the Great Water and wrought out the peace pipe which had been stolen months before by the frost kings ami locked in their icy embrace. For this he rcceiycd the name of the Great Waters — Massasoit. “Truly,” now the mother thought, “This is he.” Secretly she pondered the prophecy within her heart, only reyealing it to her husband whom she recognized not as the Great Spirit but as the swiftest and most fearless hunter in the chase. ' I ' he youth was instructed carefully in all the arts of warfare and in all the wisdom of the magicians. Numbers and signs were revealed unto him, all of which he appropriated unto himself and was master of all he was taught. 1 le increased in wisdom and stature, in favor with his father the Great .Spirit. XMicii but twenty years of age he called his parents together and announced his intention of starting on his THE MASSASOIT 1911 long journey. “The three Sjjirits have long held dominion over all men. It should not always be so. Man is the great factor of creation and they should be as parts of him, not his chief. I will go forth to the land of the Spirits and do battle with them. If concpiered I shall be but as numbers of others of our peo])le; should I conquer then wil l be placed in man a united nature that fights not with itself but works contentedly for the good of all.” His parents, realizing that the time of his great mission was come, dared not dissuade him, though their hearts burned sore within them. They warned him that none had ever returned from the land of the Spirits, but had been conquered l)y one of them and remained an absolute slave to its will and wishes. Giving him the great Peace Pijjc, which would deliver him from any slavery, they sadly sent him forth. Grim indeecl was the outlook before him. A long journey brought him to the home of the first Spirit. Massive and strong this Spirit cared for nothing but work, and worked both night and day. Large muscles stood out on his arms and legs, which j roclaimed him master of the whole realm. At sight of Massasoit the Spirit flew into a great rage and, seizing him, would have made him a slave t j his purj ose, had not Massasoit grajjpled with him and a great struggle ensued. Never before had cither encountered so formidable an antagonist. Gradually Massasoit was being forced to the ground, when Science whisi)ercd ih his car that the weakness of the giant lay in the head. Changing his hold to the head of the vSpirit, he forced it down into the earth, and there would have ended its life had not his father a]ipeared in a vision and said, “Slay not, but bid it repair t(j the Great vSand Pile and tarry there till you come.” This promise exacted, he released the giant and resumed his journey. A long way off, dwelt the next Spirit, and the way was difficult and rough. Carefully Massasoit chose his footsteijs till, with much weariness, he arrived to do battle with the Sj irit. Around and around him whirled the Spirit with incalculable speed. Pluckily our hero tried to steady himself, and ward off the attack, but snares and trails were laid for his every move. Down he went, only to regain his f)al- ance and go down once more. At every move he was foiled, till at length, dazed by the whirling attack and unsteady in arm and leg, he fell an easy victim to the wiles of the Sjurit. In a short time he recovered himself. He was in a boat, being ferried by the vSpirit to its dominion beyond. vScicnce came once more to his aid. “Overturir the boat,” it whispered. With a great splash this was accom- plished. Then the concpieror was in turn the conquered. Totally unable to save itself, the Sj irit went down in the water. Soon would Massasoit have strangled its life from it had not the Great vSpirit, as before, interposed, “Slay not but bid it repair tcj the Great Sand Pile and there await your return.” As before, the ])romise was exacted and the journey resumed. Still more distant was it to the home of the last, the most powerful vSpirit, and more difficult the way. Frc- ejuent, indeed, were the slips that he made, but he rested neither night nor day till the journey was accomplished. Then a determined and courageous warrior set foot upon the battleground of the S])irit. Powerful, yet most dependent, was the mightiest of the Spirits. The sulq ' ugation of the other two rendered this Spirit’s power upon the earth as nothing ; its only resource was an aerial warfare ; this it could wage forever. THE MASSASOIT 191 1 1 1 2 Massasoit was engulfed in a great haze of ahstraelion and borne aloft toward the regions of other worlds. Seienee, his trusted ally, besought him deseend to the earth. With a great wreneh he tore himself free, and down he fell past worlds and planets, onee more to the solid earth. Down swoo] ed the S])irit with its ethereal ])ower. Retaining his contaet with the earth, Massasoit, with a might far greater than his own, slammed the vSpirit to the ground, where it beeame jjowerless and yielded unto his will. The greatest of the Spirits was conquered and Massasoit was King. On a ealm, elear, moonlight night the three vSpirits abode on the Great Sand Pile awaiting the coming of their lord, the mighty Massasoit. Xot long had he been in his return from the far-off lands where his victory was won. In their midst he stood, overlooking the great waters of the Massa.soit. The great Peace Pij e was pro- duced. Immediately the nature of the Spirits, the ])hysical, the mental, and the spiritual, began to fade the one into the other, the weakness of the one supplemented by the strength of each, fonning in the heart of Massasoit a cohesive, invincible spirit, the unity of the nature of man. Thus, O Alma Mater, was thy standard .set before thee; thy ideal; in perpetuation of which thou wert builded, upon the Great Sand Pile — through thy sons to proclaim it broadcast to mankind. THE MASSASOIT 1911 1 1 3 Our Tribute A mong all the services rendered the Training School during the- past fif- teen years that of Miss Isabel A. Richard- son, though less public in nature, takes a very important place. During the first years of her connection with the school she was associated with Dr. Gulick in the l)hysical department. Later, upon the leaving of Miss Grace E. J. Parker, she was placed at the head of all the office work. To her duties of supervision have been added some teaching in bookkeeping and commercial law and the managershi]; of the Semitiar. Efficient, self-possessed, with excellent bu.siness judgment she has ad- miraldy managed the burdensome and extensive office details and contributed in a marked way to the general progress of the school. THE MASSASOIT - 1911 1 1 4 A FABLE liRli was a young man went to college. “Verily,” he saith, “too much do I live by myself. There hath not been much doing in my line of late, I must acquire unto myself a fair damsel upon whoni I may bestow all my fondest affection.” Accordingly, he consultcth with his fellows and they banded together for this very i)ur])ose. Now, ])crchance, it happened that there occurred a football game. To this game his fellows escorted a troupe of the fairer fair, insomuch that one fell unto his lot. With much joy did he beam upon their pleasant as.sociations, and busied himself the whole day long. Now, lo ami behold, every day is followed by a night. At the ninth hour of the night did they set out upon their homeward journey. Light indeed were their hearts as the car stood before them a furlong away. Then whispered the leaves of the elm tree; “But thirty-nine furlongs afar rests the house that thou seekest. Bright arc the rays of the moon as they travel to greet thee, what hindcreth a moonlight jaunt homer ' ” This young man was athletic. In his pursuit of athletics he had acquired a slight bruise on the heel. Now, a sore heel is but an insignificant matter upon which to base an objection. Never could this be done and the ideals of chivalry be maintained! Accordingly he maketh the whole distance; according to the testimony of the moon, so he did. llis ehivalrv ever passed unrewarded ! Fortune smiled sweetly ujjon him as he caught the last car to the city. Alas, there is a limit unto everything, and a car line amiily proveth this rule. Seventeen furlongs off stop])cd the c ' ars for time had ordained that they rest, and they did. Long was the way to his resting ])lace, and unkind were, the thoughts that he harbored. Never was man more aliused than this man, who for the joy that was set before him underwent such hardship and toil. THE MASSASOIT 1911 1 1 6 Normal Work XK of the greatest educational advantages which the Training School affords is the privilege of normal work, which is nearly as important as the academic work itself. By coming into actual contact with the men and boys of the community a greater Christian growth is ours, not only from the stand])oint of service, but also from that of acquaintances. As the school year draws to its close, we cannot but feel that this part of the curriculum has become of more value to the students and of greater importance to the city of Springfield than at an - previous time. Nearly every student has been engaged in some form of normal work, one hundred and forty having had regular duties throughout the city and nearby districts. Ten of these men have been in direct contact with the local Association. The new building of the vSjjringficld Boys’ Clul) has afforded a fine opportunity for the men directly interested in work for the boys who are in real need, nineteen men having been employed in its various departments. This year has witnessed the ojjcning of the Hill Branch of the Boys’ Club, their rooms being in the new gymnasium. From this small beginning, a much needed work is bound to grow, for, in a few years, a branch building of the Springfield Boys’ Clul) will be erected on our campus and operated throughout by Training School students. ' Pen men have been si)ending some time each week in work with the foreign born, teaching them the language, government ami customs of our country, while nearly every man in school has been engaged in Sunday School work — athletics and teaching. In conclusion, it may well be said that a fine work has been accomplished throughout the city, it having been of the most ])ractical both to the new and old men. To each of us, whether Senior or underclassmen, should come the thought, as we leave our impression behind us, “Is Springfield a Ijetter city for our having lived and worked in it?’’ NORMAL WORK ( ' llA.MIMOV SorCKR I ' KXM I I.AY(.HOrM) Li n’Cii Os a FIikk S i’MMKK Camp ri,AV(;RorNii I’l. vN (,Kor i) lilHl K Cl.

It becomes a ] art of him. so far as he learned while in school, ami he for.yets that it was ever necessary to learn those thinjts, and looks upon them as that which he has always known. He may even forget the changes in his character and life which the old-time friends have made in him, l)ut he will invariably recall their faces and hear their voices in his present-day friends. The only conscious contri- bution the school then makes to him is the remembrance of his acquaintances and experiences with those to whom he usetl to be a brother. Sometimes a fellow meets one of his class- mates in after years, and together they recall the good times they had while clas.smates together. Hdw someone was put into the bath-tub or lake; how the “ lit ” society or class or school went up the lake for a skating ] arty or a canoe ride. The smell of a “ hot dog” will inevitably recall some campfire on the shores of the lake. The chorus of some song will bring l)ack the time when they sang the same song coming uj) the lake with a dozen or more canoes side by side, making a float. They will talk over the Mountain Day climbs while reviewing the scraj)books and looking over the pictures. Our more formal socials will not be so easily remembered — unless we have helped to bring out the tables from Woods Hall in preparation for the event! We will best re- member those times where we felt most free to act and speak, such as small party visits to the homes of the faculty, or socials on the lake. Bonfire, Aggie Day THE MASSASOIT 1911 1 2 I There is a man in the student body who does a great deal of work for the school, but who never gets a “ S])ringficld ” for it, and seldom gets any recogni tion at all. The chairman of the School Social Committee deserves all the credit we can give him. He is the man who works while wc are having our good times. Si)ringfield will always seem a second home to us, because we have grown to be hiigger men while here. Yet nothing will make us yearn to be back more than the recollec- tions of the good times wc had when all were together. Doctor Dosgett’s Speech Mountain Day The Band Should we in after years travel back to old Springfield, when all our chums are gone we will not stand identically in the same old place. The faces of the students will be new and we will be as much of a stranger to them as they are to us. There will be a larger equipment and everything will be moving more swiftly. It will 1)C something like the old times when wc meet the faculty who are ever faithful at their posts. For us Old vSpringfield will ever strong- ly live in our memory, but there it shall be a ])icture of life lived in the halls of true friendship.

With the addition of the new gymnasium and Pratt Field during the past year, much has been done to relieve the situation. In Pratt P icld we have what Mr. James E. Sullivan, President of the A. A. U., has declared to be the best field in the United States from a practical standpoint. The enclosed field, measuring nearly ten acres, contains an exhibition football field and baseball diamond ; a two hundred and twenty-yard straightaway, twenty-four feet wide; a quarter-mile oval, eighteen feet wide on the back stretch, fifteen feet wide on the curves; seven tennis courts with permanent backstops, part of the space being arranged so as to be flooded for ice hockey in winter; eleven jumping pits for high jumping, pole vaulting and broad jumifing; and places for weight throwing. All of these have been built in the most approved and up-to-date fashion, and it is believed that in many cases improvements have been suggested. We are proud of our new field and we have reason to feel so. The beauty of the concrete fence and the adornment which it adds to the campus can only be aiqmcciatcd by those who for years had to endure the disfig- urement of the old board fence and enjoy now the open vista given by its removal. This, with the magnificent gateway provided by Mr. Pratt’s splendid generosity, adds a beautiful feature to our campus. The memorial tablet placed in a panel l)cside the gateway speaks the simple lesson which Pratt Field will help the Sons of Old Springfield to carry to the boys and young men of the world.

Coacli THE MASSASOIT 1911 1 30 ;M0S ALONZO STAGG and James Huff McCurdy mark the Alpha and the Omega of football history at the Training School to the ])resent time. These two fathers of this sport at the School, deserve great credit for their untiring efforts in turning out successful, and yet sportsman-like teams. To their efforts and abilities as coaches of the game, the Training School owes the firm foothold which the game has gained in T. vS. sports. I ' iver since Alonzo A. Stagg took hold of football at the School in IS(H), the sport has been steadily increasing in i)oi)ularity until today the institution can produce such a team as downed the Aggies on Pratt Field at the termi- nation of the 1010 season. With justice even to the suc- cessful team of 10(H), Dr. McCurdy ' s 15)10 football team can be called the strongest aggregation in the history of the school. Ca])tain Delahanty and his team deserve great credit for the remarkable showing made during the past season. But one defeat, and that a doubtful one at the hands of West Point, was chalked up against the team. . mhcrst and Holy Cross were tied, while the Connecticut Aggies, Worcester Tech, Tufts and Massachusetts Aggies came on, were tackled, and were conquered. From the beginning of intercollegiate football at the Training School in 1S!)() to the present time a high class of teams has always filled the schedules. Stagg’s team in 1890 made a remarkable showing against the Aggies, Amherst and Yale, while a number of those early schedides contained as many as fourteen heavy games. One or more of the Eastern_championshi]3 teams have always been on the list every year and the showing K. .1. Dki.ahantv, Ciiptain FOOTBALL THE MASSASOIT 1911 1 3 1 made against these teams has been a source of gratification to the Training School interests. In 1904 Captain Draper’s team held Yale to a 6 to 0 score; in 1905, Ca])tain Mason held Harvard to a 12 to 0 result; in 1906, Captain Wright forced Yale to a 12 to 0 game; in 1907, Captain Honhart’s eleven made a touchdown against Harvard in a 9 to 5 game; in 1908, Captain Howard’s aggregation ])Iayed West Point to a 6 to 5 finish and tied the Massachusetts Aggies, 5 to 5; in 1909, Captain AlcCulloch defeated Amherst, Tufts, and for the first time in eleven years, gave the Aggies the rear end of the score, 18 to 6. Nineteen hundred and ten, however, brought the greatest honors to Springfield by the splendid work of Captain Delahanty’s combination. The combined weight and speed of the men, together with Dr. McCurdy’s ready adaihation to the new rules, were the prominent factors in the onc-game-lost season. The Connecticut Aggies came first on the .schedule and went down before Dr. McCurdy’s athletes on September 24, to the tune of 16 to 0. The second game was played with Amherst at Amherst, the result being unsatisfactory to both sides,!) to 0. The day was windy and the field slippery so that the comparison of the two teams as to straight football was impossible. Worcester Tech came next on Pratt field and put up a stiff battle but were finally overcome, 6 to 0 On October 15, Holy Cross was played to a scoreless tie on Pratt field in a game which was Springfield’s all the way through. Tufts was then trim med at Medford on October 22 during a drizzling rain before a dis- gracefully small crowd in a 5 to 0 finish. An inca])able official was responsible for the showing of the Tufts team. The No- vember 5 game was with West Point at West Point and this was the most unsatis- factory game of the season since a touch- down made by Merncr was not allowed by the umpire who noticed that a minor foul had been made after the touchdown was effected. The cadets were lucky in get- ting away with the 5 to 0 victory. The Aggies closed the season with the acceptance of the same gift as they re- ceived from the Training School the year previous, namely, a good defeat. Captain Delahanty routed the Aggies, 15 to 3, in the prettiest exhibition of football tactics that has been witnessed in Springfield for some time. Just before a touchdown, Aggie game 132 THE MASSASOIT 1911 Such a record ])laccs the Training School well in the fore_e;round of Eastern intercollegiate football, and if the ])rogress continues the management would be jnstifictl in placing more heavy teams on the schedule. Leading up to the success of this season there are some interesting details. In the first place the lu ' csentation to the School of the new Pratt Athletic Field has spurred the Training School interests on to show themselves worthy of such a splendid arena. When the field is fully equipped with grandstands, the footl)all management can schedule a game which will attract 2 ), ()()() spectators. Dr. McCurdy’s growing reputation as an up-to-date coach has done much for the great success of the S])ringfield teams. He has always caught the significance of every change in the rules and used them to every possible fair advantage. Following the Brown-Harvard game of this season the following statement in the write-up of the game shows that Dr. ‘‘Mae’s’’ rei)utation is well known: “A prettier use of the forward pass has not been seen on Soldier Field since the Springfield Training School disi)laycd it here in 1907.” Another significant fact in the development of a working arsity team is the labor of the Second Team under the direction of Elmer Berry. This .season’s scrubs have been unusually strong and have given the regulars many a jolly tu.s.sle. The fourth feature of the season’s success has been the fact that nearly every man on the Varsity has at some time been a captain of a preparatory or college football team before coming to vSpringfield. This fact undoubtedly ac counts for the great head work which every man displayed at all critical stages of the games. Each man was himself a master of the game and after Dr. McCurdy had welded their individualism into a working unity, the team worked like a machine. A glance into the future can be made under the most auspicious omens. Ex- Captain Dclahanty takes with him but three regular players, leaving Captain •Metzler a strong nucleus for another winning team in 1911.

All our exhibitions have been attended by enthusiastic audiences, if not always by people competent to judge gymnastics. In the different places we have been royally entertained and many were the friendships formed. These friend- ships are the best rewards that come to the members of the team. Ca])tain Schroeder was fortunate in having so many of the old men back: Baumann, Richards, Simpson, Summers, Schnurr, and Van Vclsor being among the first to appear for practice. With this group of tried men and a large squad of good material from the Freshman class, all things pointed to a team equal to any that ever represented the Training vSehool in gymnastics. Out of the Freshman class, Evans, Gottsch, Payne and Batchelor were selected. With these men the team has earned the name of being the best balanced gymnastic team that ever wore the Maroon and White. o. G. .sciiM’HK.

THE MASSASOIT 1911 1 39 With the o]jcning of our new gymnasium it was ho])cd that the School would recognize the game of basket ball, which had its birth among us, in a new light, and that more enthusiasm would be displayed for the game. It was confidently expected that, with the additional ])ractice time, the return of four old ])laycrs, and the entering of several star new men, that T. S. would jnit forth the best team that ever re]n ' esentcd the School in this sport. The hope was expressed that at least for the first year T. S. would not be defeated in her own gymna- sium; and the highest ho]jes were consummated. IMarch 18 , closed the most successful season that our basket ball team has ever had.

Handicapped by the loss of a rink in the early part of the season, with no place to ])ractice except the lake, the team fell much out of place when playing on a rink. The first two games were lost to Massachusetts Aggies and to Harvard. Then Amherst was met and overcome. Yale was the last team to defeat us. A trip into New York State netted three games for us. The Louden Field Club was defeated in an overtime game at Troy; Rensselaer Tech, lost to us on the same rink, and West Point was defeated the following night. These games were all played away from home. Five home games were ar- ranged but weather conditions ])ro dng adverse, they were cancelled. The schedule was the best that has been arranged for any hockey team yet, and we feel that the showing made this year warrants its continuance. K.

Warren Lamb THE MASSASOIT 1911 145 SOCCER The soccer season this year has been confined to four games, which resulted in two defeats — by Spring- field 2 to 1, and by Thompsonville 3 to 1 — a tie with Columbia 0 to 0; a victory over Harvard 2 to 0. Although this is a short schedule, the season of 1911 marks a distinct advance for soccer as a Varsity sport. Until this year the soccer games were held after the Rugby season or in the spring, in order not to clash with the interests of the regular football. Considering the increasing number of students and the different type of men engaged in the two sports, the Phy.sical Department decided to give soccer a free hand during the fall season. In future, men may elect which team they will choose to compete for, and the two schedules will run concurrently. Notwithstanding the rapidly growing po]iularity of soccer in the Eastern colleges, T. vS. is more than holding its own. In the five years si nce the game was introduced here, only two defeats have been registered against the Red and White; Columbia and Yale being the lucky winners. With the strong material now in the school, this unique record should be maintained. Thirteen men made their emblem this year: Goal: Brad.shaw. Backs: Baumann (Manager), Balderston. Halves: Bissell, Chittick, Best (Caj tain). Forwards: Storr, Warren, Wilder, Lamb, Bridges, Mumford. C. M. li.U’MANX. Mminyer E. M. BEST. C ipluin FENCING TEAM Van Bom.mki. liKAii.. Manaficr Hri.F.K.

When Columbia sent its fencing team to Springfield on March 4th the Training School trio made their final bow, for all three members of the team graduate this year. At the beginning of this year the prospects ap- peared bright for a successful season, with the same team back intact, which had represented the school for two years. In some respects the e.xpectations were realized, and in others they were not. Although no entire victories crowned their efforts, yet on the whole the calibre of their opponents was above what had been met in previous years, and a better showing was made against them. On January 21st the team journeyed to Cambridge and lost to Harvard 8-1. The annual trip to Brooklyn to take part in the Maurique Competition occurred January 28th; this year our team drew the New ' Yoik Fencers’ Club as its opponent, and lost 5-2 after very closely contested bouts. The other two meets were at home: Yale on February 4th, and Columbia one month later, both of which were won by the visitors 6-3. 11. G. Beall, Manager li. llri.EK. Captain TENNIS TEAM THE MASSASOIT 1911 1 49 TENNIS Tennis is one of the games taken u]j recently by the Training School as a Varsity sport. For years there had been a feeling that the School should be represented by a tennis team, but, as the various s])ring activities found the men bu.sily engaged in track work, nothing developed from the manifested interest until the spring of 1909. At that time the Student Body, after receiving challenges from Trinity and the Massachusetts Aggies, decided to place a representative team in the field. In the short time left at his disposal. Bill Howard, who had been a])])ointcd Captain, worked up a team which won two out of the five tournaments in which it competed. In the spring of 1910, with only one V ' arsity man remaining, and the tennis courts torn up by the building of the new gymnasium, Salassa, who was Captain, faced a hard schedule. With all this, a good team was turned out. The prospects for the present season of 1911 are rosy. Captain Salassa will have with him to start the season Howard, Miyata, Bintz and Deaver, all of them w. N. iiouAiii), ManaKer being Varsity tennis men. M. ( ' . S.ii.AssA.

Through the officers of the Cabinet, with their committees, the different branches of activities are suj)ervised and the interests of the School and Student Body fostered by careful administration. Under the ca])able leadership of Royal F. Martin the year has been a most successful one. It has been largely due to his ability to handle detail and get results that such a record has been achieved. Every officer in his department gave their whole-hearted support, and perfect harmony prevailed . In a general survey over the work of the year, all departments have increased in efficiency and larger appro- ])riations were given to almost all the committees. Among the special items of interest, and accomplishments that stand out and are worthy of mention, the separation of the student paper The Springfield Student from the Scini)iar is perhaj s the first. We have every reason to congratulate ourselves and our Editorial Board on the success of the venture. Three hundred and fifty copies were printed monthly. General satisfaction has been expressed at the change, and we feel sure that this paper will prove itself helpful to student and alumni alike. Another form of initiation ceremony was inaugurated, taking ])lace of the growing unpopular Pee-Rade, which was the cause of many a “sore feeling.” An undertaking of no small importance tackled this year, was that of taking over the Training School Supply Store and placing it under the sui)crvision of the Student Association. It has long been a ‘‘bone of conten- tion” among the students and faculty, and this coming year will see it handled as one of the regular activities. The committees in particular have all rendered valuable service, and to each one has come success. The Physical Department Committee have at last succeeded in adopting a uniform emblem for the various sports. The financial year of the Association has been most gratifying notwithstanding the heavy drainage; there are many available funds for the administration next year.

It was brought into being three years ago and for various reasons was ])ublished under the same cover with the faculty magazine, The Association Seminar. With the election of the new Editorial Board and Business Staff, early in the spring of IhlO, conditions had become such that an agitation for a separation of the two publications was begun. It was felt by all that, as the contents of The Seminar and The Student differed so greatly, each would benefit by being published sci)aratcly. Moreover, the unanimous sentiment of the Student Body was in favor of a paper it could call entirely its own. The difficulty lay in the prol)lem of financing the separate papers. The Student Body had increased very materially since ' The Student was first printed, and felt that it was large enough to support a publication of its own, both from a literary and a financial standpoint. Consequently, several consultations were held with the committee from the faculty, and the situation thoroughly and care- fully discussed. Finally it was mutually decided to make the separation. The field was divided, as to advertising, content matter and subscriptions, so that each publication should have a field of its own. It was with great pleasure that the Student Board began the publication, in the fall of 1!)1(), of The Spring- field Student which they could call a truly representative college paper. It was considerably enlarged, both in amount of advertising and of reading matter. A l)etter grade of paper was used, which admitted of the print- ing of numerous cuts. Special numbers, such as football, convention and gymnastic, were issued. All these innovations added much to the interest of The Student. It was also with a great sense of responsibility that the Student Board began this departure. But financially and editorially the venture has been a success. Special credit is due the Business Staff for their efforts in making it a financial success. No great surj)lus of funds has been shown as the money has l)ccn freely si)cnt in developing the paper, and bringing it to as great a perfection as possible under the circumstances. It has l)cen the endeavor of the Editors to have the paper portray as accurately and fully as ])ossible the school life, and rei)rcscnt the student activities; a paper l)y the students and for the students.

Washburn BRITISH SOCIETY E work of the Literary vSoeieties the past year has been pleasing; in all resi)ects. A distinct and decided impetus has been given to the Literary work of the School. This stimulus has come partly from the increased emphasis placed upon the Inter-vSociety debates, and from the fact that the quality of the programs has been much im])rovcd. The work of our faculty critics is a great boon to the Societies. Faithfully they attend every meeting, ready to assist any in their efforts, and always offering an intelligent and helpful criticism. We feel that a word of praise is due them from the Societies for their efforts in our behalf. The contest for the Inter-Society Debating Trophy was keen and interesting. Much speculation was indulged in as to whether the Philomathean Society, after winning the trophy for the first two years, would repeat the performance and become the permanent possessors. Through an unfortunate set of circumstances, however, they failed even to contest the first preliminary debate, March l(i, which was awarded to the McKinley. On March 23, the Lee and International held an interesting debate on “Resolved, That immigration should not be further restricted.” The International ui)hcld the negative and won the debate. The teams were com- posed of : Lee — Messrs. Salassa, Swenson and Humphries ; International — Messrs. Wilkinson, Brinkman and vStorr. The final debate took place on March (3 between the International and the McKinley. The question was, “Resolved, That United States Senators should be elected by direct popular vote.” A strong argument was put u]) by both sides, but the negative side of the question again triumphed, and the International Society was awarded the trophy and medals for the year. The McKinley was represented by Messrs. D’Antonio, Bowers and Nathanielsz, while Messrs. Wilkinson, Brinkman and Storr again represented the International. Winners of the Inter-Society Deba te LEE LITERARY SOCIETY McKinley literary society INTERNATIONAL LYCEUM LITERARY SOCIETY PHILOMATHEAN LITERARY SOCIETY HE Glee Club offers an opportunity to elal)orate upon the feeling of harmony. New changes in harmony are learned, accuracy and initiative are secured for future times, when a man is i?i a position to lead the singing. The Glee Club work secures for a man the finer perceptions of the art of singing. ' hru the cultivation of his own voice he becomes able to appreciate e.xcellence in the voices of others. Thru the work and practice which he puts into his own singing he becomes able to realize the degree of perfection attained in the rendition of a song by another. Thus, the feeling for the artistic is developed gradually from the instinctive feeling for harmony in its simplest forms to the longing for, and appreciation of, the noblest e.xpression of a personality by the means of song. Why should a man be content with music which has a lower standard of e.xcellence than he will allow anywhere else in his life ? When he reads about a certain subject he is satisfied with nothing short of the best book on the publishers’ list. When he plays a game he thinks it inexcusable to do less than his best. When a man gets out into his life work will he purposely do less than he can do? Then why be satisfied with less than the best in music? Musicians are people who have studied music of all kinds and have set up a standard by which music may be judgeil. We acce|)t their standards to a large extent because what they declare to be the greatest we also, when we are in our highest mood, feel to be greatest. Hut if we may differ from them we must form our own standards. There is no reason at all why we should not keep our standards as high as we can raise them. The Musical Clubs afford opportunity to cultivate this side of our nature to a certain few who can sing or play, yet a well educated man may not plead ignorance of so important and persistent factor in human life. He may cultivate this feeling for the artistic by hearing music of all kinds and comparing them one with another; to judge between them, which is the most noble expression of a human soul. Gradually he will come to classify the different kinds of music he hears and will set up his standard by which he will judge all that he hears. MUSICAL. CLUBS THE MASSASOIT 1911 1 67 The Abolition of the Pee-Rade THE PEE-RADE came lo the year 1910 through a rather checkered and unknown ca- reer. It had evidently started through the habit of a few individuals congregating at unseasonable hours of the night and engaging in some sort of a rampage detrimental to peace and study. It finally was or two of great proportions and use mild form of hazing. During the year 1909-1910 this Funeral of King Massasoit thought necessary to incorporate these occa.sional jollifications into one these as a means of welcoming the new men, thereby giving them a rather subdued form of hazing had reached the point where it no longer contained any element of welcome in it, and where it had sunk beneath the ideals held by the school and the dignity of the professions for which the school is preparing the students. Mature men who had been engaged in business or Association work for years were compelled to go through antics satisfactory only to high school boys, while some of those coming from foreign countries were made to do homage such as they had never seen given to any king or idol, and which they thought would never lie countenanced in the enlightened land of America. Instead of being a feature extending a welcome to the entering students, it became an institution for revenge because of the desire on the part of the upper classmen to get even with some one for what had been done to them upon their entrance. Not only this, but it had come to the stage where there was danger of injury to health. The Funeral Quartette THE MASSASOIT 1911 1 68 These things were considered by the Student Association Cal)inct about the close of its term of office in 1910, and finally the Cabinet, through the President of the Student Association, William vS. Yeager, recommended to the incoming officers the abolition of the Pec-Rade and that some feature be substituted which would bring the old and new men together in a free and informal way, and help to make the new fellows feel at home. In accordance with this recommendation the new Cabinet recommended to the Student Association that a tug of war be conducted between the Juniors and Freshmen, to be followed by an informal social session in the chapel. This was adopted and carried out in the fall of 1910, and proved a successful venture, although the rope broke several times and some minor accidents occurred which in future years can be improved and bettered. It is hoped that this will eliminate the undesirable feature of the Pcc-Radc, and yet give the old and new men personal contact with each other, thus enabling them to become acquainted. King Massasoit THE MASSASOIT - 191 1 1 69 RELIGIOUS EDUCATION DR. W. G. BALLANTINE T. PAUL said of the Jews who opposed him that they had “a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.” In other words they needed all-round religious education. It was not enough for the heart to be loyal; the head required wisdom. Well-meaning ignorance is a close second in harmfulness to intelligent malice. Until recently religious education as imparted by Christian churches has aimed almost exclusively at producing ‘‘zeal of God.” It has cultivated beliefs and emotions and sympathies. That is all that Bible study can produce. For the Bible was finished almost twenty centuries ago, and so cannot give knowledge of the specific needs of men today and the best methods of ministering to those needs. The great army of what we call “secular” thinkers moves sublimely forward, led by ten thousand fear- less explorers of the universe who venture onward into the unknown. The empire of light is enlarged and that of darkness is thrust backward. Religious leaders must either continually readjust their conceptions and state- ments to the world’s advancing thought or sullenly stand and fight it. Unfortunately they have generally chosen the latter course. Po{)e Pius X, the most eminent single religious leader in the world, now bends his energies to crush “modernism.” He has “a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge,” “Dreading to leave an illiterate ministry to the churches when our pr esent pastors shall lie in the dust” — these words engraven on one of the gates of Ilarvard express the motive of the founders of our oldest university. “Illiterate,” that is, uneducated, religious leadership is to be dreaded and provided against at whatever cost. St. Francis of Assisi was one of the holiest men that ever trod the soil of Italy. He had a Christlike spirit. The impress of his personality abides after these seven hundred years. But he had no knowledge, — medical, psychological, economic. So he fastened upon poor Italy three great curses, — mendicancy, celibacy and unrea- soning obedience. There are three great God-given impulses to manly life: (1) to own and use things, (2) to have a wife and family, and (3) to think and act for one’s self. St. Francis in his ignorant “zeal of God” struck at these bases of civilization and Italy shows the blight. He set the example of kissing lepers, — a beautiful expression of love, and the most baneful one conceivable. Tolstoi, a titanic figure, the greatest Russian of our times, and one of the noblest Christians of all time; frantic over the evils of his country, wasted his strength and his influence because he was so ignorant of economics and sociology and the history of Biblical interpretation. He aroused sentiment but could not turn it to account. He awakened “zeal” but contril)uted little “knowledge.” The ]jurposc of the Training School is the production of Christian leaders who shall have both hearts and heads, men who know the latest word of science and the deepest word of faith. “Not that we have already obtained, or are already made perfect ; but we press on.” No aim could be grander.

Simonds gave a chapel talk on Damage Fund. After being awakened in an alarming manner and melting my way through the frozen air coming from Po]) Garfield’s new furnace, I found that I had two minutes to spare before feeding time. Cantered to the “Swimming Pool’’ with all possible haste, but found I was not the only “inmate” who believed in economy of time. Dodging flying Stones, pieces of Zinc and jumping over Bridges, I was able to navigate near enough to a coveted faucet to be informed by Locklcy, our tonsorial artist, that I was “next.” Returning to my suite I was gently interrupted by that wild Irishman Donnelly, who was trying to break his record for ' kicking olT Simond’s electric light bulbs with a 40-40. Quickly made up my mind that I wanted a scpiare meal before 1 cashed in, so beat it over to the Mess House. Nothing happened to mar the pleasure of the hour except that Watson smiled and Parson Nathanielsz atlemi)ted to give Schroeder and his friend a permission. 4 4 milk bath without After i)reakfast this morning there was a commotion in the Woods Hall Manager’s office, llulck had fainted because six of the transient boarders i)aid for their breakfast on time. 4 4 Summoned to the philosophy class this morning by little Royal. THE MASSASOIT - 1911 1 73 Unprepared, but decided to bluff it, struggled to cast a wise expression over my physiognomy and confidently emerged into class. Ye gods, what a sight ! Papers on all the chairs and questions on the board — one of those things called impromptu tests, when the spirit moves the Prof, without warning. The nerve-racking shock, which is said to be a tonic for the timid, took away all my knowledge of concepts and judgments, leaving the mind in that state described by Kant as a category s])ace. Being short of funds I decided to make a trial at it, so did my best. Will leave the rest to the fates. 4 What is this institution coming to anyway? I ])ulled the frag- ments of my .scattered self together and feebly stole, for the second period to that class called, I believe, “Religious Pedagogy.” Was greeted by Doctor Doggett with the usual “Good morning, scholars.” A few stale jokes put the class in a right mood to be lulled into dreamland with a thick paper by Baraw on Child Training. Upon making my exit I was caught in the stampede to the mail box. The angry mob, stirred on by Cho, was charging the mailman with fa- voritism, because he brought only the dailies for Martin, Mctzler, Virgo and vSehott. Fearing a riot, Donnelly started that glorious old hymn “Let the showers of blessing descend.” This, no doubt, was a signal to his colleague Bissell, as a well-aimed drop of water that filled a flour bag, landed fairly on the top of his nibs, “Pop” Beall, — and he’s the President of the Senate, too. 4 4 A fake report was spread today that Russell’s lolly-pop shojj would give away the i)eelings with the oranges as a special trade inducement. This was denied later by Charlie, however, who explained that, owing to the fact that a rat had crawled into the establishment the night before and eaten half a Inscuit, the bargain had to be deelared off. 4 4 Chapel was attended today in large numbers, especially by the Juniors. A special attraction was booked in the form of a demonstration of the manly art of self-defense by Kid Collerd and Slugger Stacy. President Martin ruled it to be unconstitutional, so a musical service was rendered by Contortionist Hyde to educate our aesthetic natures. THE MASSASOIT 191 1 1 74 Very tasty supper at Woods Hall tonight of which the hash that made Woods Hall famous was the ])rincii)al article of the menu. Following sipipcr Holmes and Stuart distinguished them- selves by entering into a game of “hot end” where they unmer- cifully ])ounded Horne, Wright and Swenson. A very unfortunate happening occurred this evening which 1 have reason to believe has lent much to make the last few weeks of my T. S. life disagreeable. Previous to going out for the study of social ])roblcms, I accitlentally interrupted the ISOth session of this year’s most noble Senate. The few words that fell on my ears were about “canning.” They were discussing whether the Senate can more ])rofitably can Zinc or dispense with the garbage cans. Returnctl from my duties at 10 P. AI. to had my room in utter chaos, similar to a junk shop that had been ruffled by a hurricane, and leaving no exact clue. 1 am praying for S])ccdy coming of the judgment day, when all things shall be made known to the ignorant. It was necessarily early morning before I linally got things straightened out. Heard footstcijs on the hall stairs. Thinking some one was there who did not belong, I investigated and found it was only Pest wearily returning from a moonlight walk from his gallantry in Chicopee, 4 4 Oratio Salassa of International fame as a member of the Lee Society Debating Team was profoundly dis- cussing the actions of the Popes during the Middle Ages in the Church History class, today. So ardent was he in his stand, and so profuse his arguments, that Professor Burr was compelled to motion me to lower a window in order to admit a supply of fresh air. .4 4 Well, this was a busy day after all. Philosophy didn’t set very well after our stuffing of breakfast food, but Prof. Burr wakened us u]) with an occasional dash of enthusiasm. Doctor Seerley also took his turn at entertaining us — very seldom the Doctor ever does it a la broken chair. Pat Pasini attempted to draw a picture of the brain, but the Doctor concluded it looked more like a cross section of the humerus. THE MASSASOIT 1911 1 75 Clang, clang! Grand rush for the mail box. Doane remarked: “This is the second letter in the D box this month.” Next was Church History period. Jimmy Summers got thinking of his Australian friend and forgot to take notes. Instructor: “What’s the matter, Jimmy, discouraged or haven’t you any paper. ' ' ” He suddenly came to — with a poke in the back by Beall. All went well the rest of the ] ' )eriod. We always steal about two minutes on this period, for the minute Martin goes to ring the bell we knock off. In New Testament, Doctor Ballantine advised us to read the Book of Acts through twenty times or so, which we all agreed to do except Schott, and he is too busy. Professor Hyde addressed us in chapel on one of his favorite subjects and really was good today, only used one slang word. He spoke fifteen minutes, but I can’t remember a word he said. The morning i eriods passed away with varying degrees of somnam- bulance. Doctor Seerlcy gained the greatest percentage of sleepers — it was not a story morning — and Mr. Hyde by frequent applications of caustic had the minimum number. . !« We had a discussion in chapel today regarding the advisability of the vStudent Association’s buying the athletic goods store. D’An- tonio, an orator who should be of the first water every morning, took occasion to tell the Student Body what HE Murmuring Bissell voiced his plaintive wail whose talking machine propensities make him the prime headache ]jroducer in school, gave us a logical mass of illogical logic which ]iro- duced the customary glad hand among the followers of this modern Peter the Hermit. . « Chapel was enlivened today by Mr. Bowne’s explanations of the profound mechanical i)roblcm involved in ui)-cnding the hand fire extinguishers in case of fire. It is not, as I gained from his explanation, nearly as important to extinguish the fire as it is to bring into play the exact muscular co-ordinations which will result in an inverted extinguisher. wanted to see done, and of despair. Brinkman, THE MASSASOIT 1911 1 76 During dinner today Schroeder confidentially informed us that he was afraid he was growing bald I We shall have Moyer trying to tell us that soon. The same old physical work this afternoon. We danced the i)olka for the hundredth time this year at two- four(ty) time and tried to hear with the wise remarks of student instructors. Richards was in his element today as there were ladies in the gallery. Rich did all the strong man stunts and pushed and jnillcd and hauled and strained and bulged and pulTed and proved to the gallery that he is as strong as an ox in every wav. I watched the seniors working for some time and envied Lewis and Pixlcy their perfect poise and balance in chang- ing from a reverse to a forward giant, thence to a flying angel, Lewis finishing with a i)crfcct imitation of a High School u])start. Supiter time at Woods Hall wtis a time of perfect inspiration. A great artist had been engaged from a Cana- dian city to render with dramatic irony the well-known financial monologue “Tomorrow will be AVednesdav. This was a howliitg success, and the manner in which Professor Lmil Skook divined the feelings of his audience filled us all with wonder and admiration. After su])i)cr I adjourned to the library to prepare a ])apcr upon the physiological, pedagogical, psychological and theological importance of the garbage can in relation to the Senate. I had hardly got started and was in the act of writing the word “harmony” when groans, rumblings and gurglings from a room tibove announced the fact that Fred Wright had commenced his saw-sharpening ojtcrations. In desi)cration 1 left the library, went u]) the elevator to my room and directly to bed. After getting used to the oscillations of the building produced by the singer 1 gradually dozed off into sleep. GYMNASTICS THE MASSASOIT •� 191 1 Edwin Horsfield Morton L. Bissell L.
