Six foot plus of virile physical manhood, an enthusiasm and genuine love of teaching, extraordinary social gifts particularly with meng and a consecrated purpose to serve, combine in him to produce an unusual type of all-round man- hood. He is equally proficient in a smashing tennis match: in leading a Seminar group, in developing social good fellowship, and in inspiring men to lives of high endeavor. 6 THE MASSASOIT 1921 EDlTOR'S GREETINGS From these silent, yet liying pages, embodying hours of loving toil, there is relleeted the life of our College, so dear to ezich of us.

Ball, Ph.D. Dr. Ball was born at Shelburne Falls, in 1888. He lived there through- out his boyhood and attended Arms Acad- emy, which is situated in that town. He graduated in 1905 and spent three years in the lumber business, entering the Sheffield Scientific School of Yale University in 1908. Upon finishing his course in 1911, he re- turned to Yale as a graduate student, majoring in Zoology. He received the degree of Ph.D. in 1915. The next year, 1915-16, found him still in Yale as assist- ant curator of Zoology in the Peabody Museum. The following two years were spent at Massachusetts Agricultural Col- lege in the position of instructor of zo- ology. ln 1918 Dr. Ball was called to Springheld to become professor of biology. During his two and a half years here, Dr. Ball has won a warm place in the HBON VOYAGE, hearts of all the men with whom he has come in contact. It is with a feeling Of sorrow that we say good-bye to him, although we know that he is leaving to hll a larger position. The best wishes for success in his new work will go with him from the entire student body and the faculty. Dr. Ball left us March 28 and expected to arrive in Honolulu about May 10. There he will act in the capacity of Curator of Collection in the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum of Polynesian Ethnology and Natural History. Z1 W. H. HAYNES Mathematics A. R. CRAXV1-'ORD Physics l. D.

THE MASSASOIT 1921 History of the Class of 1921 XYe had all taken that tortuous and winding ride on the famous King street line and passed inspection before the various faculty members. On looking around we beheld forty-eight of ourselves, all attempting to act natural in un- natural circumstances, but, alas, too green to hide the color of the new-born class of 1921. Friendly greetings by the old men put us at ease until that since well-known command came, issued early each fall to the Freshmen, Build ye paddles of con- venient sizef' This we did and after that memorable occasion, when in the dark- ness we were urged on by our well-made paddles along the shores and in the cool waters of our now appreciated Massasoit Lake, soft upholstery was most popular. Our wounds were soon healed, however, by the warm reception of King Massa- soit and the Faculty on the following evening at the formal initiation. We soon noticed the unrest among the older students for the call of war was getting into their blood. Practically all foreign students had gone the year before and all the classes were reduced in numbers. Great responsibility rested on those remaining to carry on student activities and spirit. Our class responded and suggested that even these days should be the beginning of new things and offered to start a tradition that Freshmen should wear a distinctive cap, which was accepted. Soon the season of sport was at hand and here we soon made our presence felt, for, beginning with early fall, 1921 attained victory in inter-class games in football, soccer, basketball, baseball, and cross country. Our friends of 1918 felt that the time for the renewal of totem battles had arrived and they had a box built in which was placed a link stamped with their class numerals. One day early in May, while at dinner, the cry of totem went up. After the mad exit by windows, for we found that the doors had been securely locked, we rushed to the banks of the lake and beheld a hgure struggling far out on the lake beside an overturned canoe. Two juniors were madly paddling toward the spot but we soon perceived that they were not intent on saving the Fgure in the water but the black object Hoating near by. Seeing their purpose from the shore, immediately everybody started up the lake either by the road or over the rail- road trestle. About four o'clock that afternoon the first of the stragglers started to come in telling of thrilling battles on land and lake, generally resulting in some being Z8 THE MASSASOIT 1921 tied to trees or bathing in the muddy deep. Our class had been victors by secur- ing the totem and before dark our new possession was being swiftly carried out to the far West. Our class was decreased in numbers when vacation time drew near for many of our men had been called to the colors. So we separated, wondering what the future would be for 1921, but determined that wherever we went the spirit of Springfeld would go with us. VVhat few there were of us that returned in the fall of 1918 were filled with uncertainty and dismay. VVar had raised havoc with Springfeld. Our campus swarmed with strangers: a large group of older men were here for a short period of training for Red Triangle service and nearly two hundred new men had come to join the S. A. T. C. VVe surely felt alone for all the Seniors and juniors had gone and most of the professors were in camp service. Although few of our number came back from the service, those of us who were here determined to impress with the older classes the spirit that existed before the war on the large Freshman class. This was accomplished to a large degree with the assistance of lake and midnight parties. Our class banquet, interrupted by the kidnapping of a large number from the class, was sumptuously finished after a thrilling recapture from the green crowned youths of '22. Again in this, our Sophomore year, we won the totem for another year and also won a good place in the inter-class winnings. NVe returned for our junior year filled with consciousness that in a sense we were on the beginning of the home stretch of our college life. VVe met the old crowd returning, mixed with the new-old crowd who had been fighting on the various battle fronts during the war, and it was a glorious time of renewing old acquaintances.' Our class numbered thirty-seven this year but only eighteen were of the old original class of 1921, presenting a problem of organization for the interests of class and College. The College had arrived at a time when class consciousness was strong, and feeling that our time for evolving something new for the Junior class to do each year had come, the suggestion of the junior Prom was raised. The very sug- gestion was received with great enthusiasm and by Easter vacation plans were well under way for the first Prom ever held on the campus. The time selected was April 23, 24, and 25. Needless to say the Prom was a grand success. So, as we contemplate the pull of the strings of Fate on june 10, we feel that we are going to show Springfield our appreciation for what she has given us. VVe are going out realizing that our greatest work for the Alma Mater lies before us. And as we felt at the formal initiation all we could do would be to the honor of Massasoit, so now the desire in the heart of each of us is that our work and our lives express the best that he has given usp and that in spite of doubt and uncer- tainty and war we are worthy to be called Sons of Springfield. 29 THE MASSASOIT 1921 ILINIA MAE I'h'I'ERS IJALL.-XS ICIJWARIDS Ss-'Num CLASS Pinellas 313 THE MASSASOIT 1921 l- GEORGE DAVIS BARCLAY Brick Home Manchester, N.

THE MASSASOIT 1921 Junior Class History A strange feeling, almost of hesitancy, and yet with a surging of pride and a consciousness of achievement, comes over us as we look back over the three years now spent of our college career-three years so long in passing, and yet, historically, so recent-and we come to a full realization that we are at last to take up the role of seniority, with but one short year before graduation. And our apprehension is still more impressive as we think of the things yet to be accomplished and the responsibility to be undertakeny A review of our three years of activity and achievement, however, amplifies the confidence which has brought us thus far on our way, and we look forward to the new year with great ambition and with a desire to make a last great mark as students here. Early in the fall of 1918, after being welcomed with the usual receptive cere- monies and having trod with fear and trembling the humble way of the innocent, we developed a class consciousness, which, spontaneous though it was, served as a nucleus for the greater development to which we owe the splendid record of the entire first year. And so we are proud to narrate as among the greatest of our achievements, our representation upon the numerous varsity teams of that year, as well the winning of the inter-class championships in swimming, track, and baseball, to say nothing of the fond recollection of our first banquet, unmolested by the sophomoric members of '21, which is rather more than they can boast about their own banquet of the same year. As Juniors, looking back upon our second year, we feel, that while sophisti- cated we may have been, the year's record perhaps justified this feeling more than a little. It is only fair to state that this justification does not come from athletic superiority, but the successful frustration of the very elaborately planned attempts of troglodytic '23 to prevent our banquet makes us feel that this is, perhaps, more distinctive than championships. But the really great honor gained by '22 was the winning of the biggest fight of the year, the Totem Rush, and it is with just pride that our valiant Hscrappersn herald far and wide the addition of a 1922 link to the yearly lengthening chain in the totem box. Throughout this year, also, many members of the Class of 1922 were privi- leged to represent the College in inter-collegiate competition. Roll call in the fall of 1920 brought forth lusty answers from almost our entire number, excepting those of the valued group which we contributed to the stu- 49 THE MASSASOIT 1921 dent body at Aggie, and to whose welcome home we look forward next year. We greeted also several new men who had come to take post-graduate work at Spring- field. lt was a great feeling to realize that we had now become upperclassmen and might look upon ourselves as tried and true sons of Massasoit, and so we faced our added duties and responsibilities with undaunted ardor and enthusiasm. The incoming sister-class presented themselves with all maidenly dignity, and their introduction to Springfield ways invited our utmost attention under the leadership of the Seniors. Our contributions to varsity athletics in the fall bade fair to prevent a worthy showing in class sports, but in spite of this handicap, the all-round Fall Sports Contest was captured by the Juniors, mainly because all classes were reduced to an equal basis of competition as regards numbers. In the inter-class sports, however, we provided two intensely exciting competitions, being runners-up in both football and soccer-'losing the former to the Freshmen in a closely con- tested game, and the latter to the Seniors in two extra periods. The junior Trip, the first to be taken since the war, was a wonderful week of fun, enjoyment, and good fellowship, not to mention the educational benefits for which it was planned. Perhaps the most wonderful part of all was the fact that so many were able to produce the necessary funds, and indeed there were surprisingly few attempts to Hstow-away except in the enjoyment of gastro- nomic activity. Strangely enough also, the Totem, then nearing the end of its yearly world-wide traveling, put in appearance at the 1922 Banquet at Turk's Head Club, Providence, and was most enthusiastically received by its proud possessors, and it was then generally agreed that the Totem should again end its yearly journey at the Senior Trip of 1922. We might mention at length the numerous attractions of this trip, but the mere statement f'Wellesley will convey a goodly proportion of intelligible understanding. By far the most important of our class activities was the junior Prom, follow- ing the very commendable precedent established by 1921 last year. Not much could be desired in the way of improvement over that first Prom, although, of course, many things were more easily and more efficiently accomplishedg the earnest and enthusiastic co-operation of the underclassmen caused the old cam- pus to fairly effervesce with happiness and good feeling, and the one week when all rivalry and malcontent is banished absolutely from the atmosphere has become firmly and traditionally established. As the year wears on, an eye to the future reveals the prospects of assuming full responsibility for the coming year and keeps us ever watchful to learn and know anything and everything that may help us to provide Old Springfield with a leadership that will serve truly and constantly to maintain the ideals, princi- ples, and traditions of our flourishing College. 50 THE MASSASOIT 1921 PRATT FIELD As SEEN 1-'Ron THE AAIR 51 THE MASSASOIT 1921 M1 xiii Z xx iff! f ,pix X fo W1 FAQ- w X my f 1924 4125, ,ii 7 ff 9 M ' J X ' x 5s GM in W mf?

THE MASSASOIT 1921 1923 Class History Now it came to pass that in the fall of 1919 a new class came to Springfield, and neither had they green caps nor yet could they sing the Scotchman. And the faculty did look upon them and say it is good,wherein they were greatly fooled. But the class waxed strong and grew and grew until verily some became athletes and made the varsity teams. These they called Physical Men. Then they gathered up the fragments thereof, two baskets full and live 'small fishes, and called them Secretarial Men, and the Professors marveled at their wisdom and learned sayings. For what a man sews that shall he also rip. ' And later it came to pass also that as time went on the inter-class games were staged and like Caesar of old we came, we saw, and we are still looking. But it was prophesied that the new class should win in most all of these games, and lo! that prophecy was fulfilled. And ere the College closed for the summer the class of '23 showed great skill in handling a canoe on Lake Massasoit, and the multitudes on the shores of the lake were stricken dumb at the sight of that gallant band of athletes. Spurred on by the victories of their team mates they entereE'l'the contests with great confidence and verily they won a goodly number, and great was the rejoicing that followed. Now the time had come for the breaking up of this most noble class and they departed from the College, each going his own way. They journeyed to their abodes, which are as widely scattered as the east is from the west, Those who live in this country made the journey in various ways, some touring, some on foot, and some by rail. Others journeyed to the lands of their fathers across the ocean and some even as far as New Jersey. While on this journey lo and behold they accumulated great riches and in the fall returned in triumph, on a King Street car, to Springfield. As it was written in the Hand Book so did it come to pass that the Hrst event should be the initiation of Freshmen. The Class of 1923 was weighed in the balance and not found wanting in spirit and enthusiasm concerning this great event. Freely had they received the year before and freely did they give this time. Yea, abundantly had it been given unto them and they returned it tenfold to the Freshmen. Now there is a spirit at the College known as the Springfield Spirit, and the Class of 1923 has a goodly amount of it, so they directed their energy toward the inter-class soccer games and were victorious. Upon hearing of this the 56 THE MASSASOIT 1921 Freshmen became wroth and swore vengeance and, like Moses, cursed the day the Sophomores were born. Their chance came during the Soph-Freshman game in which many a brave and gallant warrior bit the dust. Yea, brother, it was a terrible slaughter to behold. After the clouds of dust had rolled away and the wounded removed from the bloody field it was discovered that the Freshmen had won. Immediately their heads did swell as a balloon. They started a triumphant march around the campus, but this was frowned upon by the Sophomores, and it quickly broke up. According to the way we reckon time there were two months that passed during which the class gathered a goodly amount of pep. Being in need of excitement they secretly planned a great feast at the Cooley Hotel. In the after- noon of that day which had been set aside for the great event they proceeded to the scene of the banquet. But word was brought to the Freshmen that the enemy was preparing a feast and they became greatly angered. Now sinners enticed the Freshmen and they did consent, and gathering together all their cohorts, buckled on their armor and green caps, and laid siege to the stronghold of the Sophomores. Now the Sophomores were prepared for this attack, hav- ing been forewarned by one of their trusty scouts, and when the barbarian forces attacked them they fought hand to hand in deadly combat. But the law of the land forbade this kind of uprising, and the strong arm of justice was called to the scene of the disturbance. And believe us, those Irishmen were powerful and soon there was great confusion in the ranks of the Freshmen and they quickly retreated, leaving behind two of their number as prisoners. These prisoners were brought to the great banquet hall and sacrificed on the altar before the guests and high officials to appease the anger of the gods. The tables became bowlegged under the weight of the fatted calf which had been killed for the occasion, and when the time had come the mighty warriors and honored guests did partake of the feast. Yea, my brother, they did eat and after they had been hlled the learned doctors addressed them, saying, It is written that ye who eat here shall hunger again. Those who have gone out in the service before you have filled their coffers with gold. Go thou and do likewise. There is not much here recorded concerning the academic standards of the class, but suffice it to say that many were called upon to deposit two dollars at the general office and also many are the names on the honor roll. Those who were members of literary societies waxed eloquent and won all places in the inter-society oratorical contest. This goes to show that the Class of 1923 is one of all-round development. 57 THE MASSASOIT 1921 58 THE MASSASOIT 1921 gases..-.iw.:1,sf-'wif ...

CX THE MASSASOIT 1921 a Historyof the Class of '24 During the week of September 15, 1920, there congregated on the shores of Lake Massasoit a motley crew of unsophisticated youths, eighty-eight in number, constituting what the upperclassmen welcomed to Springheld as the Class of 1924. They came from various known and unknown parts of the world: from the islands of the Pacinc on the west to the suburbs of Brooklyn on the eastg from the snowy forests of Canada and Maine on the north to the southern tip of South America. The first days will long be remembered. The feelings of elation which pos- sessed us, for instance, when we met en masse on the opening day of college to feel that we were a part of such a noble body. VVe also had a feeling of antici- pation and suspense caused by wild rumors of what happens to Freshmen at the traditional informal initiations. VVe have reason to believe that we are the handsomest class that has ever entered the College because, as far as we can learn, we are the first class that the upperclassmen ever exhibited before the citizens of Springfield by parading us through the streets of this metropolis. After the Pe-rade we received a warm reception from enthusiastic and strong-armed upperclassmen. We were introduced to King Massasoit's court and the ceremony was impressive. ln fact the impressions remained for several days, and the affair is still vivid in our memories. This was the first time that the Class of 1924 got together. The Hrst time the real class spirit was shown was on the memorable day of the Sophomore banquet, February 1. The story of the Battle of Main Street will go down in history along with stories of other great battles of the past. lt was not until three o'clock in the afternoon of that fateful day that the Freshmen received the news that the enemy had escaped. President johnson called his warriors together and dispatched them in all directions to find the whereabouts of the Sophomore festive board. One band of scouts found their place of hiding and told the entire army of green capped warriors. The details of the resulting battle are too complicated to set forth in this short history. We had several social affairs of our own after the Soph banquet. The first of these was the Utheater party? although several of us were forcibly detained on the campus by over-zealous Sophomores. Two weeks following, the crown- ing social event of the year for 1924 was held at Clinton Hall, THE CLASS BANQUET, Needless to say, the Sophs were taken entirely off their guard and we were unmolested. Thanks to the efficient work of the committee the banquet was a grand success. The class was well represented in athletics. The Freshmen are the inter-class football champions. The winning of said championship gave us the right to remove the little green sky-pieces a few weeks ahead of time. ln varsity sports we were well represented also, having men on the varsity football, soccer, cross country, swimming, wrestling, and basketball teams. lt is safe to say that the men of the Class of 1924 will do all in their power to uphold the traditions of Springfield morally, scholastically, and athletically. 61 THE MASSASOIT 1921 ful THE MASSASOIT 1921 ,tae ff9 Q-i 90 Class History, 1925 Twenty-five recruits, ranging in age from 18 to 30 years of age, arrived in Springfield last September. They were received with a greeting such as can only be given by the Sons of Massasoitf' and soon felt at home. These men were the forerunners of the Class of 1925. The class is made up of men from all parts of the United States, from New York to California, and all are 100',?'f. Americans. Over half of the class saw service overseas, the rest doing their bit here. Most members of the Class had not been accustomed to a great deal of studying during the past few years, and found it quite difficult to settle down to regular habits of study. However, we learned from former Preps that this difficulty had had to be met and overcome by other Prep classes, and we decided we could do it also. Our first opportunity a class, to show our real spirit, was in building the 'fAggie bonfire. The fellows responded royally, and we are told there has never been a bigger or better fire. Prep classmen have been in all varsity squadsffootball, soccer, basket- ball, hockey, swimming, wrestling, boxing, and gym. team--and we know there are men who will try for the remaining teams this spring. ln the games during Massachusetts Athletic YYeek, we finished second, as a class. However, we were not quite so fortunate in the inter-class games, being defeated by close scores by the juniors in football and soccer. Wie will do our best to uphold the traditions of Fpringfeld and help in guiding and straightening out the incoming lfreshmen in 1921. 63 THE MASSASOIT 1921 A1 l1l121i1:5 THE MASSASOIT 1921 1' Our Faculty Coaches Have you ever stopped to consider the state our teams would be in if it were not for our efficient corps of coaches? Do we give them enough praise for the work they put into their coaching and the time they must sacrihce from their other important duties? Yes, we are ever ready to say disagreeable things about our coaches and their methods when the team loses. But when the team Wins, those same people who formerly criticised the coach come up and congratulate him for the Fne work of his team. Men of Springfeld, this is not the proper attitude to take: The coach does not thank you for either the surfeit of praise or the criticism. Rather, let our attitude be that of knowing that the coach is doing his best under the circumstances, and, by the way, that is no mean bit, to have a winning combination. Probably it is only natural that we should criticise such things, for we are studying the games and learning the art of coaching,and every coach does not have the same style of coaching. Indeed, we are fortunate in having such a fine group of coaches and sincerely hope they will have the backing of the College in turning out winning teams. Our coaches are:- C. B. AfHeck coaches Soccer and Swimming. li. Berry coaches Football and Baseball. R. l.. Cheney coaches Tennis. A. G. Johnson coaches Basketballiand associate in Baseball. L S. Judd coaches Gymnastic Team. Paul Otto coaches Cross Country, Hockey, Track, and associate in Foot- ball and Basketball. 65 THE MASSASOIT 1921 I FOW E3 39 9 THE MASSASOIT 1921 67 TEAM RSITY FOOTBALL YA THE MASSASOIT 1921 Football W'hen the first roll of the 1920 season was called on September 8 only six letter men of the 1919 team were found available. This state of affairs, however, did not appear so badly, for the spirit shown by the goodly number of candidates reporting a week before College began was evident that in such a group was the making of a team which, in later months, proved conclusively that it had the spirit that makes football teams. Bowdoin opened our season on a day much better suited for swimming, due to the intense heat. The periods were short, but long enough for our men to total 21 points to Bowdoin's 0. VVatson showed much speed when called back to the ends, and the team on the whole showed good form. Middlebury was destined to be the next stopping point under Matheson's Tours, and it must be admitted that Springfield slumped badly. The long trip, the fine bill of fare, over-confdence, and a slow Feld all contributed to the team's poor offensive work. Middlebury at no time had a chance to score, and Springheld did not make use of her opportunities. VVith Holy Cross coming next, a 0 to O score was not the best psychology for the team. Holy Cross, our dear rivals from NVorcester, invaded Springfield on Colum- bus Day, fresh from Harvard, who was lucky in handing them a 3 to 0 defeat. Springfeld was weak on the ends, as LenlVVatters was injured and VVatson had a broken leg from practice scrimmage. A'Fat VVatters was shifted tackle to end, an entirely new position for him. This weakness on ends against a team composed of speedy backs, coupled with inability to run back punts, spelled a 17 to 0 defeat. The next three weeks might be called the period of hard luck and gloom for old Springfield, which the members of the team will never forget. The breaks all seemed to be against us and surely the psychology of it all was detri- mental. At West Point we were the Hrst team to cross their goal line in 1920, and at West Point the jinx firmly attached himself to us. After Husbands had caught one long pass for a touchdown, O'Donnel ran 35 yards for a touchdown, only to be called back for supposed holding on the part of one of the linesmen. A few minutes later a pass to Redshaw over the goal line went astray, and as the final whistle blew the future generals had won 26 to 7, Brown, the following week, proved to be the real heartbreaker. The stu- dent body saw the team off at.the depot. The fellows were determined to bring home a win, but the old jinx said, UNO! Mr. Stearns best described the situation in the Union by saying: 'ASeven times Springfield knocked at the gate to Brown's goal line. Twice forward passes were dropped as the ball seemed certain to land safely in touchdown land. Twice the raging Bruin shook off the desperate assaults of the Bay State backs. Two times more somebody blun- dered and the seventh time Olsen, inserted into the line-up for his goal kicking specialty, missed the goal by yards. An intercepted forward pass and a dash by the Brown star, Williains, gave his team mates a 14 to 0 win. 68 THE MASSASOIT 1921 Boston College Came to Pratt Field with two consecutive victories, one of which was over Yale, and a two weeks' rest getting ready for Springfield. Our boys were playing on their own lot after a two weeks' absence, and were greeted with a record crowd as they came on the field. Springf1eld's defense was so powerful that a safety and a goal from the field by B. C. made the score read 5 to 0 at the,end of the first half. In the second half, Springfield was at the point of scoring, but a poor choice of play gave the ball to B. C., and our golden opportunity to score had slipped by. In the last few minutes of play a long forward pass, Kennedy to Urban, placed B. C. in our territory. On the 7-yard line they charged us three times, but our line gave them nothing but a 3-yard loss. Time was Hying-Urban, their fast end, slipped out wide and received a lateral pass and scored, as time was called when the ball was in the air-making the final score 12 to Og the smallest score to which Boston College was held in 1920. . Now came the big comeback. The team went to Trinity the following week with a few new faces in the line-up. Goddard was calling signals, and Cammack was back at his old half-back position after being out with injuries since the Holy Cross game. Springfield had no trouble bringing home a 35 to 0 win. All eyes were turned towards the Aggie game. The team seemed to be picking up steam and speed, and felt it decidedly. The Aggies came and saw, but we conquered by the largest score since 1896-the Aggies being completely out- classed in every point of the game. The spirit and possibilities which were in the team were not to be denied. They were cropping out now, and the 28 to 7 victory over the Aggies proved that we had a machine, and everybody was happy. The University of Detroit journeyed from the Middle NVest with a record of overwhelming victories over numerous opponents throughout their section. They had sincerely planned on a grand victory such as this over our boys, in order that the East might be belittled. The East and Springheld, however, upheld their football reputation against the West, and Detroit was given the taste of a 7 to 3 defeat before the largest crowd that ever packed into Pratt Field. Thus came the brilliant close of the 1920 football season. The team should be remembered for its spirit, which caused it to fight and finish in such a manner, after a series of heartbreaking setbacks. The team started with a number of new men, mostly inexperienced in college football, who through the course of the season developed into superb football players. Individual commendation can hardly be given, as every man was giving his best for old Springfield. The encouraging fact is that Captain-elect Len Watters will have an almost entire 1920 team with which to start next fall, and Springfield should be heard from on the gridiron as never before. 69 ELMER CJ.

Aggies, 7 University of Detroit, 3 70 THE MASSASOIT 1921 Football-Second Team School spirit is never brought more forcibly to the minds of the student body than it is by the group representing the Second team. To this team we owe, in a large measure, the success of the varsity. A chain is as strong as its Weakest linkg a team as strong as its substitutes. At each daily practice these men reported with the same fighting spirit which has been characteristic of Springfield men. Their object was not merely to present an obstacle or barrier to the varsity team but, above that, they were playing for a better Springheld team. This is the highest type of loyalty. Unflinchingly they went at their work, sometimes with the opposition twice as strong as they presented, but always with the same degree of enthusiasm. However, consolation is derived from the fact that each new season finds several of the second string men in the varsity line-up. I Frequently the Second team men were taken over to the varsity squad to fill the depleted ranks caused by injuries to the first team men. The Seconds were not without injuries, but the team had to make the best of it. A very good schedule was arranged by Manager Thompson and the team fared fairly well. The Seconds took Loomis Institute down the line for a 19 to O score on October 2, at VVindsor, Conn. This was the first game of the season and the team played exceptionally good football. VVilliston was the first team to take the measure of the team when it downed the Seconds, 7 to 6, at Vtfilliston, October 16. On the following week, the team atoned for itself when it defeated the Mass. Aggie Second team by a score of 13 to 2 on Pratt Field. The Dart- mouth Yearlings were the only ones that were fully able to cope with the Seconcl's formations. Much credit is due to Harry Edwards, '21, who coached the Second team. Prof. VV. C. VVade also assisted in the coaching. Considerable experience was gained by the men in this year's work and next fall will find them out Fighting for a position upon the varsity squad. Pleas- ant memories will always linger in the minds and hearts of the men who played upon the 1920 Second team. The Team H. A. TI-IUMPSON, Manager J. S. NTERRIMAN, Captain HARRY' EDYVARDS, Coach W.

This was organized early in the sea- son for the purpose of training men for the varsity gymnastic team for the fol- lowing year. During the past few years, it has been increasingly difficult to find men sufficiently well-trained in heavy gymnastics to represent the College on the varsity team. Our curriculum of study does not permit much time to be devoted to the practice of such, so the second team was organized to become the training class for men who are interested in this line of sport, that they may be- come expert enough to represent the College. The team of this year, although composed largely of green material at the beginning of the season, has developed its skill and team Work to a remarkable point. They have paralleled the first team in all of their drill work, and too much credit cannot be given them for the manner in which they have come out day after day for practice. The First regular exhibition of the season was given at the Mittineague Y. M. C. A. The second was given at Suffield School. In both places the team was greet- ed by large and enthusiasticaudiences. Further dates have been arranged to the number of four, and the team expects to round out its season before the spring vacation. The following men composed the second team: Bryant, captain, Alden, manager, Taraldsen, Ashbrook, I-lartshorn, Claxton, Law, and XVestrup. Sev- eral of these men made the first team, and their first team letters, but they started with the second team, and later CLINIC back to help finish out the schedule. -- ' ll SASO VA? 78 THE MASSASOIT 1921 HFQQVQ Q ,wir , ' 1 Wm I Y k '- v HE - Ho E n I l 4 -g 1 n I Y' Y l I 19 THE MASSASOIT 1921 S0 TRACK TEAM THE MASSASOIT 1921 Track The spring of 1919 saw Springf1eld's Track Team as the first representative team of the College to compete in track as a major sport. Much discussion and more deliberation on this venture failed to shatter the standard which had been set and the team performed nobly during the season. The requirements for awards was also changed so that a man must earn an average of 2 points meet for all meets scheduled, or win a place in the Eastern Inter-collegiates. The 1920 team had the advantage of a few months' previous training in the gymnasium, during the winter months, under the direction of Professor Otto, and were soon whipped into shape when they started their work on the Feld in the spring. The addition of Mr. Allen Peabody, who had been overseas, to the team last year was a tremendous help. Captain Van-VVagner also found his true form last season and Hnished his career at College with an enviable record. In Mr. VVatson, our sprinting marvel, we found a man who was never pushed to his limit and who won all of his races with astonishing ease. The first meet of the season, on May 1, against Amherst College, completely upset all traditions when we defeated that college by a score of 80 to 45. Need- less to say this meet sent the spirits of the team members soaring to heights un- known beforc and the men were fully primed for their next engagement with W. P. I. on the 15th of May. Springfield won this meet by a big score of 913 to 345, easily defeating our rivals. The Eastern Inter-collegiate Athletic Meet, which was held on Pratt Field on May 8, was the second annual affair of this association. The teams repre- sented were fourteen in number and were the following institutions: Boston College, New Hampshire State, Holy Cross, Stevens, St. Lawrence, Mass. Aggies, W. P. I., Trinity, Middlebury, Hobart, Colgate, Rhode Island State, Tufts, and Springfield. The day of the meet was cloudy and raw, and soon after the preliminaries were hnished a drizzling rain set in, which later turned into a terrific downpour. Nevertheless all the athletes were on their marks for the final events of the after- noon and a small but enthusiastic crowd helped the team members with their cheering and comforting remarks. Springfield sprung the surprise of the meet by finishing second to Boston College, and missing the supreme honors by the scant margin of one point. The final score was as follows :- per Boston, 33 St. Lawrence, 8 Hobart, 3 Springfield, 32 M. A. C., 5 Colgate. 2 N. H. State, 24 XY. P. I. 5 Tufts, 1 Holy Cross, 21 Trinity, 41 Rhode Island State, 1 Stevens, 11 Middlebury, 4 81 THE MASSASOIT 1921 The Eastern Inter-collegiate Meet, although hindered as in previous years by a heavy rain, was a tremendous success an fl many favorable comments were made by men of authority in the sporting woi ld. The large number of entries, the smoothness and efficiency of the organization, and running off of the meet were due to the persistent efforts of our graduate manager of athletics, Mr. Herman Hillebrandt, who is the secretary of this association. At the meet it was unanimously voiced that he should retain his position for the season of 1921. Officers of the association are elected annually at the meeting in New York City in December. NVith the first two victories stowed away, and a second place in the E. I. A. A., we were ready for the Tufts aggregation, which appeared on the scene on Pratt Field, May 26, minus several of their team, who claimed to have missed the train. Whetlier the missing individuals could have stemmed the tide of the Springfield wave is doubtful, for we again won the laurels with a score of 87 to 38. The next meet, one with Holy Cross, was considered the real meet of the year and the men strove with earnest efforts to fit themselves for the fray. On May 29, the visitors appeared on our field confident of victory and eager to enter the contest. To the astonishment of their men and also the visitors, Springfield won this meet by a score of 70 to 56, thus upsetting the fond hopes of the visitors and also raising the percentage of our own team to a higher level than ever before. The success of the team was due in a large measure to the strenuous and untiring efforts of Prof. Paul Otto, the team coach, whose pep and enthusiasm were ever driving the team to their best efforts. Springfield has come into her own at last in Track and Field circles. With Track as a major sport, the F.. I. A. A. Meet as a certainty at Pratt Field each year, as long as our efforts are worthy, young stars developing under the tute- lage of Professor Otto, and prospects of another wonderful year, all tend to turn the attention of Springfield to this worthy spring sport. At the last meet of the season with Tufts College, Mr. Allen Peabody was elected captain for the com- ing year, Mr. Irvin Custer was appointed manager, and Professor Otto was unanimously chosen as pilot Ccoachj for the 1921 team, which should be the best that Springfield has ever produced on the cinder path and on the field. Messrs. F. M. Van VVagner, captain, H. Henderson, H. D. Drew, B. S. Tandy, R. VV. Cammack, F. J. Moench, V. M. Jones, M. R. johnson, and R. H. Lavick will be missing from the team this year, but in their places we feel that many noble youths will endeavor to uphold the standards set by these men for a bigger Springfield and a consistently winning team.

At this time, Manager Spencer suggested a Southern trip during the month of March. Much enthusiasm resulted and throughout the month a large squad practiced daily in the VVest Gym. at such preliminaries as felding, throwing, and bunting. p lNith such varsity men Captain Carlson, Cy Tw ombly, wlJuke Carl- ing, Sam. Kallack, 'ARabbit Bennett, Lefty Purvere, Arnold Fink, Rudy Fahl, and much new material, Springfeld's prospects for a most formidable team were exceedingly bright. After months of diligent work in an attempt to arrange a Southern trip, Manager Spencer was at last forced to give it up, and his announcement to this effect, needless to say, was a mighty blow to the squad. Regardless of this, however, the boys practiced faithfully and, it is safe to assume, would have trimmed Trinity in the opening game, April 17, had not rain interfered. Finally on April 24 Professor Berry was given a chance to exhibit his 1920 team on ffratt field 5 il YQ. ,, agamst the Conn. Aggtes.

Through psychological experimenting with the umpire and the hard hitting of middle fielder, Zeigler, our men Hnally managed to gain a decision of 3 runs to 2. . The following day, May 29, the team struck a snag in the form of one of the pitchers of N. H. College. This game proved a real twirlers' duel between Cyn Twombly and the N. H. pitcher. It was not until the last stanza that N. H. S. was able to rush over the winning run, the final count being 2 to 1. May 31 found the Mass. Aggies at Pratt Field prepared for the annual classic. On this day our honored rivals never had a chance against the offerings of Captain Carlson, while the Springfield team was able to bunch four runs, principally through the clever hunting of Norfeldt, Zeigler, and Kallack. The final score, 4 to 0, does not begin to portray the decisiveness of this greatly desired victory. June 5 saw another game canceled due to Qld King Pluvius, R. I. State being the prospective victim. On june 7 the highly tooted college nine representing the University of Cali- fornia visited Pratt Field in the Enal game of the season. Coming to Spring- Held with a record of 13 victories and only 2 defeats, including wins over Rutgers, Harvard, Dartmouth, Boston College, and Amherst, the boys from the VVest coast were possibly overconfident when they took the field against our new formidable line-up. Led by Zeigler and Civiletto, our entire team pounded the delivery of pitcher Snyder for a total of 18 hits and 11 runs. The final score, 11 to 2, proved to be the most crushing defeat administered to the boys from the Golden Gate. Throughout the year there was a general feeling among Springfield men that Professor Berry's 1920 machine was possibly the strongest nine which has ever been privileged to represent our College. An inadequate schedule made it im- possible for the team to prove this fact, but with most of the old men back in 1921 we will hope, with them, for a better schedule, so that they may be able to demonstrate their worth to the world.

Second Team Baseball Yes, it is true that we were called Hscrubsf' but the men who played second team baseball in 1920 could give the varsity a good laugh when it came to schedules. ln reviewing the season the team looks back on five victories and two defeats. Starting off with St. Jerome's High in Holyoke, the team just clouted in 11 runs to their 5. The following week we journeyed to Williston, but were forced to return to Springfeld with a T to 2 score against us. Three days later Professor Berry accompanied the men to Yale, but again we lost to the Yale Seconds in the last inning. However, the following week the team came back strong and came home from VVorcester Academy with a 6 to 0 victory. The following week St. Jerome's came to Springfield, and, in a drizzling rain, they were defeated to the tune of 6 to 5. It was on May 26 that the team again journeyed to Willis- ton with revenge in their hearts. Captain VVilliams truly was in form, and when we gave our short Springfield at the end of the game, it was with a feeling of joy, because the score was turned around and we left with the big end of a 7 to 2 game. The last game of the season was played with the strong VVilbraham nine, but determined to wind up the season in the proper manner we gave them a 3 to 0 beating. The team wound up the season at VVilbraham. Yes, it did as far as games were concerned, but will any one ever forget the Hfeed given to the team by Professors johnson and Berry. The members of the team who probably will be out fighting when the call comes in 1921 are: Captain, L. VVilliamsg Manager, R. W. Parker, F. S. Mathewson, H. S. Sweet, D. G. Hosley, J. S. Merriman, F. M. Maynard, F. J. Civiletto, J. XV. Steinhilber, and T. J. Fallon.

I There is not enough spirit and com- petition in this sport. VVhile all over the world tennis is running a close second to baseball, here at Springfeld, the home of athletics, it does not receive recog- n1t1on. The season of 1920 started with more candidates out for tennis than there has been for the last five years. Yet this number was far too small. At other colleges fifty and sixty men come out for a team, which requires only four players. This develops competition, and if any sport needs this to develop it, tennis does. All of the members of 1919 team were on hand. Richardson, one of the most consistent winners of 1919, was too deeply involved in his duties as manager to play, and McMichael, who always played a hard and steady game, was unable to play until the last two games. This left only Captain Munson and Jeffrey around which to form a team. Among the new men out were Samson, a substitute of the strong 1916 team, Mo, a steady little player from the Orient, and Cooper and Graves, who had been on the second team the year before. 89 THE MASSASOIT 1921 Manager Richardson had prepared a hard schedule, but the team lacked a star player to play number one, consequently the season could hardly be called successful from the standpoint of victories. Also during the season the team was handicapped by the loss of such men as Jeffrey, McMichael, and Cooper, just at times when they were needed most. Another difficulty was to find the combinations that would work well together as doubles teams. For the past two years Springfield had had as strong a doubles team as any college, in, first, Jeffrey and Fink, and last year, with jeffrey and Richardson. Allimen played strong, steady games in singles, but a pair that would work well together was unable to be found. This was very forcibly brought out in the match with our strong rival, Holy Cross. Springfield won three out of the four singles, yet was forced to end the match in a tie, because of the lack of a strong doubles team. The bright light of the season was the team's overwhelming victory over the strong Middlebury team. Journeying to the distant Vermont college for the first time, under an apparent handicap without jeffrey and McMichael, the team, nevertheless, came through with a 5 to 1 victory, winning all of the sin- gles and losing one doubles match. The letter men for the season were Jeffrey, Samson, Mo, and Cooper, all seniors, who graduated and will not be back next year, and Captain Munson and McMichael. At the banquet held at Coach Cheney's home after the final game, Munson was again elected captain, and Noren captain of the second team.

VVith Coach Affleck on the coaching staff was Coach Brock, who was one of the best men Old Spring- held ever had on her soccer teams. Much credit must be given these two men in the way they have built up the team and developed team work. The first game of the season was with Harvard and resulted in a tie score. The Harvard team had kindly invited our men to see the Harvard-Center College football gamep the men were too anxious to see the game and this divided inter- est was responsible for our team not living up to their best brand of soccer. Three quarters of the time our men had the ball within Harvard's territory and many times the ball was driven at the goal only to have the Harvard goal tender make a clever stop and then get it out of danger. Amherst was the next college we played, at which game we found ourselves and succeeded in defeating them 6 to 3. The day was exceedingly windy and during the game several showers soaked the players and made the ball and Held so slippery that good playing was practically impossible. Dartmouth came here expecting to win by a no uncertain score, but were sent home with the realization that they had met and been defeated by a team 91 THE MASSASOIT 1921' that any college would be proud to put on a feld. This game was by far the best one of the season and one in which our team showed up to the best advan- tage. The passing of the forwards, the support of the half-backs, and the back- ing up of the full-backs, when the hall was in our territory at all, was excellent work and many comments and words of praise were heard along the sidelines. The game was clean and hard fought throughout and just in the last few minutes following some ine team work our one goal was made. Following a tie score with Yale, Amherst came here and for the second time was defeated by a score of 5 to 0. Our team worked in perfect harmony and at no time were the full-backs and goal tender required to exert themselves greatly. Amherst is to be congratulated for the reason that this is the Erst year soccer has been recognized, the men have had to struggle along as best they could and they certainly deserve credit for the showing they have made this year. Ciaptain Noren has led his team well and in all the games he could be found in his place on the team and fghting all the time. On the forward line Chase, Clegg, Pereyra, Grassi, and Mazeskie played a fast, clean, and aggressive game at all times. Grassi and Pareyra stood out as leading lights on account of their ability and style of play, while the other three men were not far behind. Cap- tain Noren, Begg, and Zeigler as half-backs were all that a forward line could ask for and they lived up to all that was required of them. Barclay and H. G. Adams were the two full-backs and were the Old Ironsides of the defence, but if by chance an opponent did pass them Chic Maynard was always found in the goal, always ready, constantly alert, and never found wanting. This year we loose by graduation Captain Noren, Begg, Barclay, and Zeig- ler, and their playing will be greatly missed. VVith the other men back next year Coach Affleck will have little trouble in building up another championship team .

Besides doing this to perfection, the Seconds played a number of out- side games. The team kept up the record of fast playing established by last year's squad, which didn't lose a game. Six games were played and won without very much effort. The only game that gave us much trouble was that played with the team from Holyoke High School, during which game the winninggoal was not kicked until the last minute of play. Not much individual praise can he given, for the team was made up of a consistent group of players. The few vacancies that will occur in varsity next season can be well handled by men from the second team. The team consisted of Captain Steinhilber, Souya, Piper, Starr, Bradley, Heck, Pasho, Mountain, Zimmerman, Simmons, Gramley, Lang, Reid, and Splete.

Captain Ellinwood was out for his third season with the team and Allen Peabody, captain of the team in 1917, also a veteran from 1915 and 1916, was the other letter man. XYith these two men and a squad of about a dozen raw recruits, Coach Otto was able to turn out a team which did credit to itself and to old Springfield. As the grilling work of getting into condition went on, the squad slowly diminished. After numerous tryouts over both the long and short courses, six men were finally chosen to defend Springfield's name over hill and dale. Besides Ciaptain lillinwood and Allen Peabody, Alfred B. Offer, Francis A. Robbins, Vtlilliam Stevenson, and Leo G. Staley were the men selected by Coach Utto. The first meet of the season was held Uctober 16 on the home course, when Trinity came here and was beaten to the tune of 19 to 40. The exciting part of this meet was between Hungerford, Trinity's captain, and Peabody, our own star runner, who gathered himself in the final sprint and beat out his man for first place by nearly one hundred yards. Following Hungerford came Ellinwood and Offer, with the rest of the Springfield team hnishing before another Trinity man came into view. It was decidedly a Springfield victory! The second meet came the week following when we had for our opponents one of the strongest team VVesleyan has ever turned out. The score was 27 to 29 9-1 THE MASSASOIT 1921 in Springf1eld's favor, and it was a very close 1neet all the way through, as the score indicates. The following week we rested and then on the 6th of November we journeyed to Trinity along with the football team. The return meet with Trinity was a repetition of the first meet. The score was 19 to 36, and Trinity again had to give us the bacon. Our treatment at this institution clearly showed that the men were true sportsmen and to the Trinity team we acknowledge our appreciation of this fact. After the meet our fellows were able to witness the last half of the football game in which Springfield was also the victor. The last meet of the season was held November 20 on our own course in conjunction with the football game with University of Detroit. Our old-time rivals, Mass. Aggies, angered by the severe beating she had received the previous week by the football team, sent down a team of runners which proved that although she was weaker in football she sure had the edge on us in cross countryg at least she did that afternoon. The score was the same that in which we had defeated Trinity two weeks previous. lt was in this meet that Peabody had to take his first beating. Up to this time Al had run over everything in sight, but that afternoon one of those farmers ran as if Al had been a bear chasing him and the result was that the bear was still chasing him when the tape was broken. Of course the defeat cast a shadow upon our fellows, but when the football team came through with a win over University of Detroit that shadow turned and showed its silver lining. Cross country should be given more credit than it has received up to the present. ln the last two seasons this team has only received one defeat out of seven meets. What other team has gone through two seasons with but one defeat? At the close of the season Alfred B. Offer was unanimously elected captain for the coming season of 1921. Offer has been a faithful worker for the last two years, and here's to a very successful season under Globe Trotter Offer. Pea- body will be the only man lost by graduation and the 1921 prospects are very bright. ' SCHEDULE Trinity, 40 Springfield, 19 VVesleyan, 29 Springfield, 27 Trinity, 36 Springfield, 19 Mass.

The team, with four letter men on it, met a team in Pratt that had had a month or more of practice and were going strong. At VVest Point we were smothered by some clever playing, especially on the part of D-, who seemed to be able to locate the basket with his eyes closed. At Yale the officials played a very clever game and as a result Yale won 34 to 29. Boston College deserves no credit for defeating us 30 to 31, we played so poorly that any high school team could have done the same. Then came the first home game which was with the local HY. The team began to find itself in this game and defeated the as yet undefeated team 31 to 20. Amherst threw a scare in the, second half when the second team was put against them. They steadily crept up to a tie before the Frst team was put back in again, and then it was good-bye Amherst. Trinity hit hard when she took the count of a 48 to 31 defeat. VVesleyan in her two by four gym, with the aid of the referee, put us under by six points. The big surprise came when Conn. Aggies gave us one of the hardest battles of the season. .The score zig7agged back and forth throughout the game. As the final whistle blew, Alexander dropped one in. thus tying the score, and, at 96 THE MASSASOIT 1921 the same time, was handed a double foul. XYith a chance to win the game in his hands, he missed both shots, necessitating an overtime period. Springfield proved the better team in these five minutes and won 32 to 29. New Hampshire State scared and played us so hard by holding us to a 38 to 37 score that we lost to W. P. I. the following evening 27 to 25. After having W. P. I. 21 to 12 in the frst half, we seemed to be dead in the second half, getting only four points by means of fouls. The second game with the local HY was a defeat for Spring- field by the score of 42 to 16. This game was played on the surface of the oppo- nents and was so small that our men could not navigate without committing fouls. The next four games proved to be meat for Springfield. Boston College, St. Lawrence University, R. P. I., and Harvard all went down in order. The most heartrending defeat came when VV. P. I. beat us for the second time this season. We outplayed them in every aspect of the game, but Tower, the referee, had to put Len VVatters and Lash out of the game for four personal fouls. This event practically defeated us, They were a tickled bunch when the gun was fired to end the game. The last game of the season was the rubber with the Y. M. C. A. Cur floor was narrowed and the baskets moved in so as to make it represent, as nearly as possible, a neutral fioor. Springfield took the lead right from the beginning, and although the game was hard fought throughout, managed to keep the lead, but for a few seconds in the first half. The game ended, thus finishing up a most successful season, with a score of 33 to 28. The prospects for next season are very bright, as but one member of the team, Capt. Eddie O'Donnell, is lost by graduation. VVith VVatters, Allen, Bennett, Cuyer, Civiletto, Lash, Splete, and others returning next season, there is no doubt but what the glory of Springfield will be well upheld in basketball.

VVe opened the season in an auspicious fashion by completely outclassing our old rival, Williston Academy, on their own court, 34 to 17. The Springfield Y. M. C. A. Reserves were then trampled in the dust twice in the same week, once on their own court and once on ours. VVe next journeyed to Wilbraham Academy and they also fell before our onslaught. Clark School thought they had a chance to avenge last year's defeat, but found they were doomed to wait yet another year. Then we traveled to Ashburnham to meet Cushing's unde- feated quintet. When the referee's whistle had sounded its last refrain Cushing still claimed that honor. The HY Reserves were still angling for our scalps, so to appease them we traveled again to their stamping grounds and handed them a loosely played game. VVilliston, Commercial High School, and Technical High School were then disposed of in order. These last games were played on our own court. lt looked as though we had come to life again, but Sufheld's yet-to- be-defeated team came on Washington's Birthday and demonstrated to us that we were, after all, just a second team. However, they presented a team that might well do any college credit. On March 2 we ended our season as we had started it. VVe journeyed to Milford, Conn., and trimmed Harry Carlson's Milford School hopes. Dillenbeck, Chattin, Christian, Fitch, Stout, Burns, Bauer, Davis, and Jack Beukema, captain, regularly composed the squad. Fat VVatters, Wall, Merriam, Splete, and Demarest also played in several games. Much credit must be given to Professor Otto, our coach, and to MaLette, the manager. 98 THE MASSASOIT 1921 Hockey The septet that represented Springfield on the hockey rink during the sea- son of 1921 was, without a doubt, the best that has ever worn the Maroon and VVhite in the history of hockey at our College. Vllith a record of tive victories and one tie game out of the six collegiate games played, the team can well be proud of its record. The only defeat of the season was received from the hands of the Portland Country Club team, a fast aggregation of ex-collegiate stars living in Portland. The season opened with a 3 to 1 victory over Rensselaer P. I. Hy this vic- tory we carried along the tradition of never losing a hockey game to R. P. I. It was at this time that Leonard, who had been -late, made his famous dash through Troy in tights, in order to be able to play a part of the game. The second game was played against Amherst before our own supporters. The Sabrinas came down with all sorts of enthusiasm and confidence, but they met their match and received the small end of a 2 to 1 score. lYest Point was next in line and a hard contested overtime game ended in a 3 to .3 draw. The ice being soft prevented the teams from displaying real fast hockey. Army's excellent record in hockey this season makes the tie game a creditable record. t The string of victories was increased when we defeated Tufts 3 to 2 on our rink. Both teams were evenly matched, and, in spite of poor ice, played a fast, thrilling game. oo THE MASSASOIT 1921 After the Tufts game, because of cancellation of games on account of that f'Nemesis of ice hockey, poor ice, we had three weeks of inaction until Febru- ary 24, when we began the non-famous invasion of Maine, playing three games in as many days. Vile met our first defeat of the season when the Portland Country Club team made us her tenth straight victim of the season. The final score was 7 to 3 in their favor, but the game was much closer than the score would lead one to believe. The following night, as the main attraction of the Ice Carnival, we won over Bates College in the best game of the season. Both teams played in tiptop form and showed wonderful hockey ability. With but a few moments to go and the score a tie, we shot in the winning goal and had another 2 to 1 victory to our credit. The final game of the season was played against Bowdoin College, The team was beginning to feel the effects of travel, and through the First half our chances looked doubtful. But the Springfield f'Comeback spirit asserted it- self and we came away with a 4 to 1 win. , Captain Fink, at center, was the mainstay of the team, both on offensive and defensive. Noren, at right wing, was high scorer for the season. In Leon- ard, the team had a brilliant rover. Begg, at goal, put up a wonderful exhibi- tion.- Delano, at left wing, and Starr and Courtney as defense 1nen, played a steady, consistent game. The team loses Fink, Begg, and Noren by graduation, but has a stong nucleus around which to build next year's team. RECORD OF SEASON Opponent Springfield january 16 Rensselaer P. I. at Troy, X.

Before the season was far advanced they had become organized and were not only giving the varsity real practice, a thing which had as much to do in turning out one of the best college teams in New England as anyother factor, but also met and gave a good account of it- self in games with Vllilliston, Choate, and Loomis, three of the best prep. school teams in the Connecticut Valley. Several of the boys by the end of the season were going in fine shape, and next season will be fully capable of hlling the vacancies which will occur in the varsity because of graduation. Coach Otto once remarked, Don't worry, boys, you're getting good experi- ence out of each game. This is a very good summary of the season. The team consisted of Captain Huston, VYalker, Granger, XVard, Davison, Chase, Lang, Hamm, Robbins, Mertens, and Reid. 101 THE MASSASOIT 1921 Swimming Team Meeting some of the strongest swimming teams in the East and winning fifty per cent of their engagements, the Springfield College Swimming Team, under the management of C. P. I.. Nichols and captained by Floyd Eastwood, concluded the most successful season in aquatics that this College has VVith but Nichols and Eastwood of last year's team as a nucleus, Coach Affieck built around these two men a team which was strong in every department save one. The type of man who plunges is a rarity in this institution and no one could be found who bolstered this department of a growing sport. From the last season's inter-class champion Freshman team came Abercrombie, who performed con- sistently throughout the year in the diving. He was ably assisted by Rendall, whose rise in this branch was meteoric. The diving was well taken care of be- tween these two men. The Buekema brothers contributed the greatest to the swimming, john being a consistent performer in the 40- and 100-yard events, and Chris being a paragon in the 220-yard swim. He had as his swimming mate, Novarine, a member of this year's Preparatory class. Novarine has a bright future in this sport. Both Buekemas are Freshmen and so will be with the team for several seasons. The plunging was mostly done by Aldrich, also a Prep, but the versatile Rendall again ably assisted. Nichols' work in the forty, along with J. Buekema, was a big improvement over last year's. He is a Sopho- 102 THE MASSASOIT 1921 more, as is Abercrombie, and will be with the team two more seasons. Captain Eastwood was the high scorer, having four flrsts to his credit in the century dash, with a smattering of seconds and thirds, besides swimming anchor in the relay. The relay team, composed of Nichols, J. Buekema, Chris Buekema, and East- wood, held a long string of successive victories in lVIcCurdy Natatorium, five in number, including the crack Amherst relay, but were finally forced to bow to the visiting Rutgers team in the last meet of the season. It was the relay which decided this meet in Rutgers' favor and the only one which the College lost, with the exception of those of Yale and Brown, but Yale and Brown have unbeaten relay teams. The first meet of the season was with Brown at Providence, which the Bruins won 46 to 7. However, Springfield came back strong in their next, which was against Dartmouth at Hanover. VVe ably christened the new Spal- ding Swimming Pool and trimmed the Big Green 28 to 25. Oddly enough the following week found us on the little end of the same scoreg this time the crack Amherst team being our opponent. Vlleakness in the plunging cost us this meet, as a second place in either this event, the diving, or the 220 would have won the meet. Yet, there was some consolation in beating the Purple and Vlfhite in the relay, which was the first setback they had received in this event in two years. Yale swamped us two weeks later 48 to 5. The following week Rens- selaer visited us and was subdued 33 to 20, which was the largest score made by us this year. VVith Rensselaer tucked safely away the College natators got busy and skimmed through with a victory over Vliilliams at Vililliamstown, 27 to 26, and defeated VVesleyan in the Natatorium the following evening, 31 to 22. The season closed the following week, when Rutgers took our measure in our own tank after a hard-fought duel. The score was 31 to 22.

With tive letter men back, all members of the 1920 New England Inter-Collegiate Championship team, prospects seemed favorable for a good season. Keen competition, especially in the light weights, ran throughout the season. Cap- tain Anderson was pushed hard by Mcfourt and Suvoong, a Chinaman. ln the special weight class Staley of last year's team found Stearns and Minott strong contenders, which no doubt contributed to Staley's success in finishing the season undefeated. Zimmerman and Fuhr of last year's squad each repre- sented the light-weight class in three meets during the season. Though VVhitney, in the l-15-pound class, did not have as victorious a season as some members of the team, none worked more conscientiously in making the team a success. The loss of Arms on account of sickness was keenly felt in the middle-weight class, though Pfaender, a new man, stepped in and worked consistently throughout the season. Simons worked well in the 175-pound class, but was unfortunately injured in the Yale meet. However, he came back and put up a good showing 104 THE MASSASOIT 1921 for the remainder of the season. Mooney, last year's New England lnter-Colle- giate champion, wrestled most of the season in this class, but was succeeded by Bullock in the last two meets when Mooney dropped back to the 175-pound class. XYith this line-up, Coach Montague's team opened the schedule, which Man- ager Denney had arranged, by a victory over Tufts in our own gym., January 15. On February 5 the Massachusetts Institute of Technology received our team on their mat, where a hotly contested match resulted in a victory for Springheld. The next week was preparation week for Yale. February 12, on our own mat, which resulted in a sensational victory for the Maroon and White. It was in the last bout that the spectators were thrilled, when, with the score tied, Mooney faced McKay of Yale. As usual, when ,the occasion demanded, Mooney was equal to the situation and pinned the giant's shoulders, after averting a fall himself only by a fraction of a second. After the strenuous week with Yale and a long tiresome trip, the team went against Lehigh, February 26, losing by a narrow margin. This was the only defeat of the season! On the final trip the team met Princeton, March 11, in a keenly contested meet, which resulted in a tie score. The following afternoon, though considerably worn from the night before, Montague's team won a decisive victory over West Point, thus closing one of the most brilliant wrestling seasons that Springheld has ever had. Coach Montague has certainly made a worthy contribution to the College in building up a system of collegiate wrestling which has proven to be equal if not superior to that of other colleges. As Monty is graduating this year Captain Anderson has been elected coach for the coming season and will follow the system now established. By vote of the team BJF. Mooney was chosen as captain and L. G. Staley as manager for 1922. Two worthier men could not have been chosen and we wish them the best of success. THE TEAM's RECORD Fon 1921 Springfield, 27 Tufts, Springfield, 14 M. I.

More and more colleges are introducing the sport and it will not be long before it will be recognized as one of the leading sports in Colleges. There is no reason why it should not be so. Boxing is a natural, interesting, and healthy sport. It imparts strength equally over the whole of the body. It is more bene- ficial to health, and, properly supervised, holds great advantages over most other sports. Furthermore, it has qualities which make one fear no emergency, which causes one to 'lcarry on under most critical conditions, and which is needed to help one through life. No greater evidence of its popularity can be cited than that of the tremen- dous crowds that have turned out to witness the boxing meets in which Spring- field has participated in so far. The interest and the enthusiasm displayed could not have been duplicated except in a football game. 106 THE MASSASOIT 1921 Springfeld was represented this year by the first varsity boxing team in its history. The team was well-balanced and gave every promise of developing into championship material. They made a deep impression wherever they fought and aroused favorable comments by their clean-cut and hard fighting. M. I. T. was Springfield's Erst opponent. The bouts were evenly contested and the meet was declared a draw, each side winning three bouts. The treat- ment accorded the team could have been improved upon, but, taken as a whole, the meet was a success. The big crowd present went away satisfed that boxing was not a brutal sport after all. Springtield's next opponent was Penn State, which was represented by a strong aggregation of scientihc and well-trained boxers. Our men fought hard but lost by the score of 4 to 2. The treatment received by the team was of the very best. We were given fine sleeping quarters and good food. No cheering was indulged in during the progress of a bout and good work on our part was rewarded by generous applause., The following article in the Penn State weekly issue will give an idea of the popularity of the sport among the students: Seldom has the Armory seen such a monster crowd as was assembled last Saturday night. Vllhen the two teams entered the ringside shortly after seven o'clock every available seat under the roof had been snapped up by those who were eager to witness the inauguration of the sport here for this season. It was esti- mated that nearly 3,000 persons were on hand, occupying anything from a place near the ceiling down to a small squatting place in front of the ring. A large number of women students were in attendance also and occupied the section reserved for them. SpringEeld's third and last opponent was Yale. The bouts were held in the gymnasium, which was filled to capacity. Many were turned away for lack of space. The series of bouts, which held the spectators in a frenzy of excitement from start to tinish, were so closely contested that the winner of the meet was not determined until the last bout was over, in which the famous Eddie Egan shaded our Adams. Yale was certainly fortunate to get away with the 'meet. Taking these facts into consideration, it must be admitted that boxing has at last come into its own as an inter-collegiate sport. The great crowds that have witnessed the contests prove it beyond the question of a doubt. There every reason to believe, therefore, that in time boxing will surpass all others as a winter sport. ' SCORE Springfield, 3 M. l T., 3 Springfield. 2 Penn. State, 4 Springfield, 2 Yale, 4 107 THE MASSASOIT 1921 I l l w McCurdy's N atatorium On April 28, 1913, the official acceptance of the beautiful gift from Mr. H. H. Pratt of New York took place. Mr. Pratt is the son of the founder of the great Pratt Institute of New York City, and for many years the family has been noted for its benevolence towards institutions for the education of young men. The name of the natatorium was suggested as only fitting after the unselhsh and devoted service in the cause of Christian physical education which had been given by the beloved Dr. McCurdy. Already had Mr. Pratt given both the field and his name, and now, when this gift was possible, he saw that it was only a Fitting reward to the Doctor who had given so unselfishly of his energies toward the idealization of Physical Education. The pool is one of the most attractive in the East, being constructed of white mosaic tile arranged in artistic manner. The dimensions are 60 ft. x 20 ft. and a very complete system of filtering and disinfecting the water has been installed. The installation of a skylight, which covers as much area as the poolitself, makes it very light, airy, and inspiring. The usefulness of the pool is immeasurable, for here men, who have never been able to swim, are taught the fundamentals and then brought up through to the more difficult tasks, and the men who can swim have the opportunity of perfecting themselves in this healthy recreation. Increasingly are the men grateful to Mr. Pratt for his thoughtful gift, and every dive into its refreshing waters sends myriads of droplets of gratitude into the air in appreciation to the donor. 108 THE MASSASOIT 1921 100 THE MASSASOIT 1921 Che Iniel Class Champs 5opHmox'e Via-esfling Team 4-',,.

These games give every one a chance to get in and light for their class, they create class spirit and loyalty, and- give the student body many good comedy acts. ' VVhen we look over the past year to see who won all the honors we find that 1921 came through and walked off with baseball after an exciting game in which three baggers and home runs were a common occurrence. In track 1923 claims superiority and they well deserve their numerals for winning the outdoor events. As we return to this past fall and think of football, we think of class spirit, rivalry, and one grand battle. Vl'ho won? VVell, to the Freshmen we give the honors after they battled up and down for sixty minutes with the class of 1922. But not to be denied some of the honors the Sophomores came back and walked off with soccer. Finally the Freshmen decided they had the best cross-country team and so they proceeded to win the same. And at last we came inside to struggle for basketball, gymnastics, indoor track, swimming, wrestling, and boxing. The Seniors figured they had basket- ball all sewed up, but after losing the finals in three sports the juniors just natu- rally had to have revenge and proceeded to clean up first the Seniors and then the Freshmen. This made the Sophomores sit up and take notice, so they got busy and walked off with indoor track, wrestling, and swimming. To the Fresh go the honors for gymnastics and to the juniors go the glory of winning the First inter-class match in boxing. And now we all look forward to track and baseball and the end of the Col- lege year. If the present interest in athletics holds out the Year Book for 1922 will be full of hard fought contests and marked here and there with the usual class battles.

VVhat are these functions but the nat- ural expression of the human desire for fellowship and mutual sympathy? Our debut in the social life is made at the initiations, where we find ourselves in close contact withithe upperclassmen. It is through the warmth of the pad- dle and the chill of the water that we are forced to remember our first days at College. But this is merely the beginning of a well-balanced career. The beauty of the lake and its surrounding hills in the springtime radiate the wonders of nature, and the call of the out-of-doors is answered when the canoes are embarked from their winter's rest. And what loyal son of old Spring- field has not enjoyed an evening on Massasoit, with a ukelele or a victrola and a fair damsel to carry his mind from the daily routine of books? One of the most popular and oldest activities has been Aggie day. The celebration around the bonfire, which is prepared by the willing Preps, is of unusual interest. It is the desire and longing of the worthy captains of the two opposing football teams to have the privilege of lighting this huge mass of col- lected timbers, for this is one of the outward expressions of victory. Then the students and guests ramble about the dorm during the period of open house. This is followed by the fellowship dinner and the HAggie dance which culminate a well-spent day. The fall and winter sports receptions bind the men more closely to Spring- field, as the winners of the S are honored with the presentations after repre- senting the College in one of the varsity sports. There is also that material representation of our social life which is'found in the Mem books. After long wintry evenings of quiet, with a few classmates in our rooms, we succeed in artistically decorating the many pages that will, in a few years, unfold the past as really as if we were living in our good old College days. The junior Prom week is the greatest of all social functions held on the campus. This is the link in the chain of brotherhood that unites the junior and Senior classes just before they leave to go out into the world as social engineers 117 THE MA SSASOIT 1921 Junior Prom Of the many activities which the class of 1921 has introduced and pro- mulgated, the junior Prom week of 1920 is the most notable. It was the first time in the history of the College that a program of this magnitude, extending for such a period, had ever been attempted. The guests of honor were college faculty, seniors, and friends. The program opened Friday afternoon with the inter-class athletics. Din- ner was served to the friends of the students at the Hall at 6, and a large at- tendance of the feminine sex was in evidence. At 8 o'clock sharp ushers from the Sophomore class presented the jun- iors and guests of honor to the receiving line. Immediately following, the grand march was formed, and, led by Mrs. L. L. Doggett and Harry Edwards, several very beautiful fgures were executed. A fourteen dance program was enjoyed to the music of Gatchell's stringed orchestra. During the intermission a buffet luncheon was served in the Fast Gym. Owing to a heavy wind blowing across Lake Massasoit Saturday morning the Senior and junior canoeing parties were postponed. By 2 P. M. several hundred people had gathered to witness the most elab- orate Gymnastic Pageant ever staged in the East. Professor Otto was very highly commended for the successful manner in which the drills, dances, and appa- ratus work were executed. Later in the afternoon the varsity baseball team won a hard played game from the Connecticut Aggies nine 3 to 0. Immediately following the game the social hall was the popular resort, where an informal tea and dance was held. At 6.30 the Fellowship Dinner was served and many congratulatory remarks were made by the fair sex with reference to the chef and his menu. , In the evening the combined glee club and quartet gave a very interesting and entertaining concert. Sunday morning practically every student and their guests accepted the invitation of the South Congregational Church to attend their special service. The afternoon was spent at the hotels in the form of dinner parties, after which the out-of-town guests were given an opportunity to visit the points of interest about the city.

The schedule was one to be proud of and the showing of team material gave promise of a winning Eleven. One thing was lacking! VVhere were we going to seat the enormous crowds that would come to see the games? Our time-honored grandstand and mere handful of bleachers certainly would not accommodate them. lt was inevitable that bleachers must be built. Once the necessity was thoroughly felt by the student body, there was a hearty response. Money was borrowed through the miraculous financing of our general secretary, Mr. Hillebrandt, and the Student Cabinet. The material was ordered and forthwith placed upon the feld of action. Then followed a mass meeting of the students, at which all the would-be carpenters were assigned their respective jobs and hours of work. The forces were under the leadership of a boss carpenter, who made the patterns and laid out the work for the different squads. 'Twas a joy, indeed, to behold these academic though muscular youths begin their attack upon the huge pile of lum- ber. After the first day of work it was realized that the job was not soft, but would require all the energy Springfield Spirit could produce. lt meant self- sacrifice, patience, everlasting endurance, and enthusiasm to complete the job. Needless to say Springfield had all these and more, for bleachers seating 3,000 men were built in one month's time by the students in their spare moments. They were ready for the first home game, and from thence through the sea- son there was general elation by the students and appreciation by the publicbof such provisions. We are all justly proud of this accomplishment, yet even more proud of the results of the season. 119 THE MASSASOIT 1921 Totem Shl Vllho said Totem? Vlihcresu Such are the mysterious questions, coupled with equally mysterious actions, that one is apt to observe on the Springfield campus around the first of May each year. Not that the mere mention of Totem at any other season of the year is not sufficient to arouse the intensest interest of every son of Nlassasoit, for it is, but just at this time matters regarding this mystical object are brought to a head. VVe will let you into the secret. The Totem is a strong oak chest, securely padlocked, and containing four iron links. It was donated by the class of 1918. Each year the chest must appear on the campus during the second week in May and be in full View of at least one half the student body for five minutes. Its appearance is the signal for royal combat between the classes for its possession, for the class which succeeds in capturing and making off with it is entitled to add a link, stamped with their numerals. The valor and high courage of each victorious class is thus made immortal. Vllhen twelve links have been added, the chain will be silver-plated and placed in the trophy chest in the library. The Totem is at present in the hands of the class of 1922, which body wrested it from the possessors of two years' duration in a Herve battle lasting almost an hour. lisually strategy is employed to meet the requirements of showing the 120 THE MASSASOIT 1921 trophy, while allowing as little chalice as possible for the rest of the classes to gain possession of it. But last spring the plans of 1921 miscarried and the chest became common possession. Like a fiock of hens with a fat worm, it changed hands many times, but no one individual could make away with it. A temporary ruling was made lay the Seniors that after ten minutes' duration the class finally in undisputed possession of it should be allowed to depart in peace. A valiant scrap ensued and when time was called the Sophs were named victors. Around the Totem are built many fine traditions. It takes no more than its just place in the student life and the hard striving for the honor of possessing it serves to develop good Springtield Spirit. I3A'l I'I.lNG FOR THIQ TOTEM 121 THE MASSASOIT 1921 Mountain Day What is so rare as a Mountain Day! Over the city and up thru the hills, Singing and swinging along the way, joyously strong with the trail's thrills. Yes, sir, them is the words, I say! VVhat is so rare as a Mountain Day! I 'member the last one, sir, I yum! The feller's went, totaled jest one-sixty-one. Not so many o' course as they should a bin but them as was there was packed full o' vim. An' even the Freshmen's toddlin' feets was quite strong enuf fer to carry the eats. I.et's see now,-we started at half past eight Co' course th' King Street keer was latej, but to make up for that-can you beat it, Harry?-they sent fer Kon- ductor Efnshency Berry! VVal, I tell you what, we packed them keers to the very door an' when we had fears they wan't goin' to be enuf room fer all, we picked each Freshman up like a ball an' passed 'im jest fer a little stunt to the back of the keer to make room up front. CNow, wan't that efficiency? VVal, I'll gruntlj VVe sang an' we sang, then we singed some more an' yelled our yells 'til our thoats were sore, from the very start 'til we hit Smith's Ferry an' then ev'ry single Tom, Dick and Harry hopped out and helped hisself to an apple while watching the Freshmen's horrible battle to see which would be so full o' luck as to have to carry th' most of the chuck. Then we started to hike our delegation up thru the Mt. Tom Reservation, 'til we got where our jints began to squeak Then some took a tour to Old Goat's Peak. But th' others rested while th' Social Committee got right soon busy with an eatable ditty in th' shape o' Dogs. Rolls, Coffee and sech which don't sound like so tol'able much but somehow seemed to land where was needed th' touch. Wal, after th' feed, th' noise an' babel got collected around a picnic table where things went big from a soft shoe stride by Tarlie to Egypta by our Prof. Hyde. Max, Stone an' Fish all had a stunt but left Prof. Ball to bear th' brunt. And he made worth while, in his little talk ev'ry gol darn step 0' that uphill walk when he tol' us th' secrets o' Old Mt. Tom, where jack Frost gets all his colors from, as well as th' ways we might take goin' back Comittin' the Holyoke and Smith College trackj. 122 THE MASSASOIT 1921 So up with a sigh from our rest nutricious, we took to the paths quite decliv- itous. Some to Mt. Tom junction, some Vliilliston way. but most to Mt. Tom House and care free play along th' hills and paths o' brown as we helped Old Sol in his journey down. Home went this way an' some went that until they were scattered most like the rats before the piper began to play away back there in Hamlin's clay. But in th' same peculiar way when our Chef Hall began to beat upon his pans 0' spuds an' meat, each man was right there at the call an' dragged hisself into VVood's Hall an' flopped down in his feedin' seat. That's all, my Friends. linuf, I say! XYhat is so rare as a Mountain Day! AROUND THE F I RE 123 THE MASSASOIT 1921 CC ' 9, Aggle Day 1 The 1920 Aggie Day has come and gone, but those who participated in the memorable game and those in greater numbers who joined in the celebrations will never tire of telling and re-telling the events of the Day, The date of activities, November 13, proved rather unlucky for the Hfarm- ers, who had a hard row to hoe. The god of football smiled on Springheld men and laughed at the Aggie men as they tried in vain to plow through the well-nigh impregnable line of Springlield's best. The triumph does not mean so much to the first year men at Springheld as it does to those men who have been here longer and have seen the real spirit of rivalry which has existed between the two colleges. The significance can be appreciated by the men who have gone before us and by the men who have seen the various teams meet during the College year. Captain Cowell of the triumphant Eleven, in accordance with the traditions, lighted the huge pile of wood, which had been prepared by the Preps for this occasion. As the flames rose high, they seemed to fire the students and guests with enthusiasm, for singing, shouting, and rejoicing started from all parts of the large circle which gathered about the Ere. The evening's entertainment was divided, some of the men going to Court Square Theater and others going to the annual Aggie dance in the well deco- rated gymnasium. While most of the Springfield students were dancing, the majority of the Aggie men and alumni were enjoying the added feature of the day at Court Square Theater. Arrangements had been made with the manage- ment for reserving sections of the balcony for Springfield and Mass. Aggie stu- dents and alumni. Songs and cheers of the two rivals were given between the acts and the balcony was a scene of real college joy and enthusiasm. The close of the day and the dance marked the end of activities of a perfect Springheld day, and another historical event went down in the annals of our history. MAGGIE DAY MEMORIES 124 m THE MASSASOIT 1921 U Fall Sports Reception This year a little departure from the usual Football Reception to a more elaborate reception for all fall sports made the awarding of emblems a unique and pleasing ceremony. The dancing, which made up the greater part of the program, gave a peculiar joy and exhilarating atmosphere to the reception, that permeated the whole evening. The VVest gymnasium was elaborately decorated and so arranged as to pre- sent a striking combination of coziness and artistic taste. At 8 o'clock the dance began and continued through the first half of the program. During the intermission, Mr. Hillebrandt, our general secretary, introduced the men who had made their letters, and the respective coaches of each team. Professor Berry spoke of the good work that the teams had done this season and led us to believe that next year ought to be even a more successful one. Professor AfHeck's soccer team established an enviable record, not losing a single game during the season. Of course we are all very proud of such a record, yet we are I10t surprised when we consider the spirit that the teams displayed during the entire season. The cross-country team, coached by Professor Otto, certainly had a remark- able year, losing just one run. Too much credit cannot be given such a team for sticking to such a grind as cross country surely is. Between each dance during the second half, the social committee arranged for a brief entertainment. The Double Quartet, String Trio, the Trying Tri- opathy, and the Ukelele Four furnished delightful as well as humorous numbers. Mr. Savelle and Mr. Stone sang solos, which only added all the more to the variety of the program. The patroncsses were Mrs. L. L. Doggett, Mrs. F. N. Seerley, Mrs. J. G. Gilkey, and Mrs. Allen Appleton. I I 5' -V ' - l MAY DAY FESTIVAL 125 THE MASSASOIT 1921 Initiations At -L30 o'clock on that eventful day, which will nex er be forgotten by many of the class of 192-l. supper was served in VVoc:d's Hall and immediately things began to happen. The Freshmen draped themselves abcut the Hall in a most undecorative and undignifed manner. Some hung from the ceiling and others were perched on tables or were lying on the floor. Various and original stunts were performed by them at the command of the Lord High Announcer, who sits at the head of the frst table. The entire Student Body assembled in the VVest gymnasium at 5 o'clock and a line of march was formed by the different classes, with the Freshmen lead- ing. The parade proceeded around the entire campus, halting at points of special interest on Sacred Ground where the history and traditions of the Col- lege were explained by members of the Faculty. The parade fell in behind the Highland Band and marched through the city streets. The Chain Gang, consisting of a dozen or so unruly members, made up the front ranks of Freshmen and carried banners proclaiming to the world that they were Freshmen of Springfeld College. Each Freshmanxhad his face made up to represent some being other than human and carried a bouquet of paper flowers. While the band played f'Now Raise a Song for Springheldf' the students assembled on the steps of the Auditorium. Here the Freshmen were presented with their green caps and given a bit of advice about wearing them. The newly crowned men then took their oath of allegiance to the College and the City. Mayor Adams addressed the students, speaking of the relationship between the City and the College. After a few lusty cheers for the Mayor and the City the ceremonies were ended and the students marched back to the cam- pus between lines of curious spectators. 126 THE MASSASOIT 1921 Ilpon reaching the campus the unsuspecting Freshmen were blindfolded and the parade continued on its way to the Narrows where all were transported to Garrish Grove. Here on his throne before the council fire sat King Massasoit surrounded by his husky Braves The scribe read the offense of each member of the Chain Gang and the wise and learned king judged each one according to the gravity of his offense. Punishment was inflicted by a chosen band of expert paddle wielders. Aye, that was a goodly wallop! After these and other mystic and painful proceedings were completed King Massasoit spoke to all Freshmen and told them what was expected of them at College. It was then decided that they were sufficiently impressed by the cere- monies to prove themselves worthy of being called Springfield Men. The dignified and impressive exercises of the Formal Initiation occurred the evening following the Informal Initiation, Tuesday, September 21. The Freshmen were marshaled in the East gymnasium at 8 o'clock. To the strains of March, March On Down the Field, they proceeded in files of fifteen to the XYest gymnasium where they were welcomed by Judson Ford president of the junior class. An address by President L. L. Doggett followed. Mr. Harry Edwards, president of the Student Association, then addressed the aspirants, and introduced the chairmen of the thirteen different departments of the Student Association, each of whom responded with a short account of the work of the department which he represented. C. C. Cowell, chairman of the Physical Department, called forth, as the living exponents of our fine varsity teams, twelve athletes, representing swim- ming, soccer, football, gym team, track team, baseball, hockey, wrestling, cross country, and tennis, each man dressed in the uniform of the sport which he represented. The principal address of the evening, and one which will be long remembered by those who were privileged to hear it, was delivered by Dr. Moxom. With all lights lowered except the one beating down,upon the Doctor's white hair and beard, the exhortation to act through the coming four years in accordance with the high ideals of Springheld College was finely dramatic. The earnestness and moral force of the speaker made an impression which should be an influence through all the College life of the men whom he addressed. After this Chief Massasoit and his assistant conducted the class through a formidable ritual, which all survived successfully. The Freshmen were then pronounced Springfield students in good and regular standing, and the birth pangs of another new class were at last over. A general welcoming by professors and students, and the formal introduc- tion of the new men to the members of the Faculty and their wives, concluded the evening's program. 127 THE MASSASOIT 1921 The Student Association 'I he guiding factor and all-controlling ele- ment in the student life of the College is the Student Association. ln a college whose prin- cipal object is the training of men for the executive leadership in the Young lXlen's fihristian Association movement, it is fitting that student activities should be incorporated in the Student Young lVIen's Christian Association. The peculiar unity in motive of our students and a strong loyalty to the ideals of all are what 1nake the Student Association possible. The organization covers practically all lines of work undertaken by the modern city association and carries a budget of over 860,000 a year. Through its various depart- ments the Association operates the College dining hall, co-operative store, which pays annual dividends ranging from 12 to 18 per H- H- llIl'l'l'i'fRANlYliw Vmlsfill 505' cent, manages thirteen varsity athletic teams with second teams, and conducts inter-class contests and sports. The Association also supervises the activities of the literary societies, musical club, glee club, college publications, and all student activities. In the absence of fraternities and alumni athletic associations, the Student Asso- ciation controls and operates every phase of student life and activity. lylember- ship, social, religious, missionary, and employment departments are directly responsible to the Student Association. Rapid strides have been taken this year in reviving SpringField's missionary and religious spirit, men having been sent to the conference at Yale. Numerous delegates have been sent to conferences and conventions of a like nature, and the outlook for a particularly good delegation to the Summer Conference at Silver Bay is looked for this summer. This conference was formerly held at North- field and sees its second year at a new meeting place. The central governing body is the Cabinet, elected every spring by the entire student body, and is composed of sixteen men, including a president, vice-pres- ident, secretary, and treasurer, and twelve department heads. The head of each department has under him a committee of varying number which takes charge of the work of the department. To be elected to this student Cabinet is to receive one of the greatest responsibilities and the highest honors that the student body can have. Herein also lies one of the choicest opportunities for personal development and practical training. 128 THE MASSASOIT 1921 the sun of Springfield shines bright and the outlook is In the coming year Q . . . one of the brightest which has ever been presented to us. The Student Associa- tion faces the new tasks with ever-increasing vigor and enthusiasm and predicts one of the best and biggest years in its history.

SCOTT THE CABINET 129 THE MASSASCIT 1921 The Senate The Senate, an otlicial organiza- tion through which the system of self-government of the student body X grass of our College is administered, was organized about twelve years ago. The work of this body is to act as an intermediary between the faculty and the students in matters of common interest. Before it are brought any cases of conduct out of harmony with the spirit and best traditions of the College. Not only does it act as a judiciary body, but it is a legislative one as well, setting standards of con- duct and making rulings necessary to wma, the best interests of all concerned. Besides the work carried on in the Senate chamber, the individual members of the Senate are active in doing personal work among the students. This is not always realized by all of the students, for some of them think that the Senators are nothing more than policemen, who are ever on the watch to catch up a fellow on some slight misdemeanor. The students, after they are here for a while, begin to realize that the Senate is working for their interests as well as for those of the College. This year the Senate has adopted as its insignia a gold triangle upon which is inscribed Senate Springfield College, one word being on each leg of the tri- angle. The Senate body consists regularly of four seniors, three juniors, and two sophomores. If considered advisable one representative from the freshman and one from the preparatory classes are elected to membership during the winter term. However, this year it was not necessary to so elect these members. It has become necessary to hold weekly meetings, besides special ones, in order to do justice to the tasks imposed upon the Senate. Splendid co-operation was given the Senate on the part of the faculty and the student body in its efforts to stand for the highest ideals of the College during the past year. 130 THE M 1921 ASSASOIT sit 5991: STUDENT SENATE, 1920-21.

The Kappa Delta Pi Society was originated in Springfield College in the year 1915. In common with classical and scientific colleges, Springfield College is unique in having its own Honor Society, based, however, not only on scholar- ship, but on all-round Christian character. To be elected to this society a Sen- ior must be distinguished for his character as a Christian gentleman, his efficiency as a Christian worker, and his capacity for leadership. The insignia of this organization is a triangular key with the Greek characters, Kappa, Delta, Pi, the initial letters of the Greek words for Character, Capacity, and Culture. The men are elected in the following manner: A committee secures a list of the ranking men of the class in scholarship, a list of the men the Faculty deem pre-eminently fitted for the society, a list from the Senior class, and a list from the Faculty members having charge of the religious and physical normal work of the College. From these lists a final choice is made. Thus it may be seen that the awarding of this honor is not a mere academic one, but is granted to a man by his fellows, who for four years have toiled, and wrought, and thought with him. 132 THE MASSASOIT 1921 Springfield Traditions Many men returning to Springfield after a lapse of several years in service have asked the question, f'W'hat has become of some of the traditions that made the Springfield spirit what it is? The senior class, feeling that it was necessary for these traditions to be revived, has under- taken to draw up a list which, it is hoped, all classes will support. Several new traditions have grown up with new conditions. The tradition regarding the wearing of the freshman cap is necessarily new but very reasonable, as it will stimulate interest in class competition, something that has been lacking the last few years. The following list does not incorporate al' of the traditions of Springfield College, but presents many of the more important ones. 1. In class banquets the following shall be observed: C15 The capturing of professors is taboo. KZD Banquets will not be held before February lst. C3D Classes are not to be molested off the campus, but capturing or detaining on the campus is in order. C41 Junior and senior banquets to be unmolested. 2. The rules of totem are a tradition. . 3. VVhen a change is made in the managership of VVood's Hall, the manager, chef and head waiter are received by the peaceful waters of Lake Massasoit. 4. Only upper-classmen are to go about the campus bare-headed. 5. Upper-classmen shall have the preference in the dormitory. 6. Class pins shall not be worn before men are allowed to wear their letters. 7. The prep class shall build all. fires for the social committee. 8. The freshman class shall respond readily to the President of the Student Association to perform duties for the good of the student body. I 9. The head waiter at VVood's Hall shall reserve the heads of the tables for seniorsg juniors taking the places when seniors are not available. 10. Students when covered shall recognize the Professors by a salute, that is, touching the cap with the hand. 11. Only Springfield emblems shall be worn on the campus. 12. The seniors shall plant a tree on the campus. 13. In the cutting of decorations for college activities, proper consideration shall be given to the preservation of trees, evergreens, etc., on and in the immediate vicinity of the college campus. 14. The senior class shall leave their mark on the campus in the form of a gift to the college. 15. Canoes shall not be removed from the boathouse on Sunday. 16. Visiting teams are to be shown every possible courtesy while at the college, and given a cheer when first entering upon the field of play. 17. The social room shall not be used during chapel hour. 18. Freshmen must wear their freshman caps for the first two terms of the college year, unless they defeat the sophomores in the inter-class game of football. If this is done the caps may be removed on February 15. 133 THE MASSASOIT 1921 13-L THE MASSASOIT 1921 Masque and Triangle This is the first year in which an organized society has presented an active program consisting of fortnightly meetings with the presentation of one-act plays. The Masque and Triangle, under the direction of Mr. C. V. Herron and Professor Hyde, has used its talents to advantage in promoting an interest in dramatics in Springfield College. The purpose of the society is threefold: To present dramatic productions, to encourage the study of drama among its mem- bers, and to promote social intercourse among them. Mrs. Patil Otto, who handled the lJeyil's Disciple, last year's presentation, has rendered valuable service in coaching the men in their various parts. Among the one-act plays given at the meetings were: A Good W'oman,l' a satire by Arnold Bennett, in which Messrs. Reed, Bowman, and Alden took the leads, HGarafelia's Husband, in which the following appeared: Messrs. Roenig, Staudenmayer, Manherz, Bronson, and Eldridge, and a short comedy. f'The Wlonder Hat, in which Messrs. Furch, Vllells, Bowman, Suva, and Aber- crombie participated. Une of the features of the fortnightly meetings is the review of the recent professional productions. ln this way the members are made familiar with plays from an impartial standpoint. The members of the society were active in the promotion of the Minstrel Extravaganza which was presented on Thursday evening, February 17, in the XYest gymnasium. A one-act melodrama. l3regs, written by Mrs. Francis Pemberton Spencer. was admirably presented with the following in the cast: Jim, Mr. Forrest Reed, '23, Nancy, Mr. LeRoy C. Husbands, '22, The Detective, Mr. Ralph Stout, '23. This presentation was under the direction of Mrs. Patil Otto. The officers of the Masque and Triangle comprise the following: Mr. Bart- lett Chase, president, Mr. R. R. Bowman, vice-president, Mr. Ralph Stout, secretary and treasurer. The success of the society has been due to the co-oper- ation of all concerned and a big year is being looked forward to. 135 THE MASSASOIT 1921 The Musical Clubs 1920-21 Now that the musical season is nearly over and we have a little spare time to reflect back on what has been a privilege of ours these past few months, we cannot help but feel well pleased for having been affiliated with any one of the musical organizations here at Springfield College. This has been a trying year for all musical organizations due, of course, to the general depression in business. Considering the conditions that have con- fronted us, we feel that we have helped considerably in promoting good music both here at the College and away. It has been our desire to satisfy persons of all temperaments, and in this we believe we have been successful. Our reper- toire has been well balanced and of a high grade. VVe have truly given concerts in concert form. We have been quite fortunate this year in having a chorus of unusual ability. Every man has been of great value to the Glee Club, and his absence has always been keenly felt, for we have a well-balanced chorus capa- ble of fine technique. From the chorus of the Glee Club men have been selected to form an octet. This arrangement of men has been very effective and worth-while. They have performed at the Auditorium during the Republican Political Campaign and at different churches here in the city. Should this same group remain together next year, the possibilities are very bright for a successful season. We can hardly express ourselves in showing our appreciation for the effort that has been made by Prof. F. S. Hyde, our director. His attractive manner in directing and coaching the organization has been one that we shall long re- member. To have been in an organization directed by him is a rare privilege and of great personal benefit. We have another organization here in the College that promises to be one of the very best group of talented artists that Springfield College probably has ever known. The 'fCollegiate Quintet has made its debut in Springfield and has been very well received. Their program is one that will appeal to all persons. Their influence is keenly appreciated by the student body, for we have been favored a number of times with music that is elevating and refreshing. The personnel of this organization is composed of men having exceptional ability. M. H. Savelle, the tenor, has a beautiful voice, especially in his upper register. His technique and finish have easily earned for him an enviable reputation wher- ever he has performed. VV. G. Stevens, the baritone of this organization, has been of great value to the remaining members of this group. He has a well- detined style that is both pleasing and effective. F. M. Towl, jr., the violinist, is undoubtedly the most accomplished violinist that has ever entered Springfield 136 THE MASSASOIT 1921 College. He has perfect mastery of the technique and his tonal qualities are full of expression. XV. B. Chase, with the cello, has been of great value to this group of men, and with the finish that he has acquired he has a brilliant future before him. XY. H. Kent, at the piano, has made it possible for the company to devote their time toward the finishing of their individual numbers. VVithout a doubt Kent has given to the men a feeling of security that is always appreciated. The future of this organization is secured. The Varsity Quartet has had a number of requests to perform, but due to the illness of one of their number, their acceptances have necessarily been re- duced. XYith the return of this member, they may look forward with a great deal of pleasure toward finishing a successful year. October . . November . December January . . February . April ..... May. . .

This department has for its object the supplementing of the curriculum in literary training. Obviously this is highly desirable, for the College gives only one course in English composition and one in English literature. There is, therefore, but very little opportunity for students to develop the art of public speaking. This last-mentioned phase of training is quite as important, in most instances, as the technical professional phases that are emphasized, for our profession is more largely educational than otherwise, and this ipso facto requires ability to explain by precept as well as by example the content that is to be given those whom we serve. The effectual working of this principle is accomplished through literary societies,of which there are five-McKinley, VVeidensall, Philomathean, Inter- national, and Lee, which is just being reorganized. The Lee Society had Hour- ished before the war, but during the war period it had to give up its very exist- ence for Old Glory. It has just recently been considered opportune to have a fifth society, and so we now have the Lee Society giving promise of excellent service in literary development. Membership in these societies is so limited that only those who are interested in improving themselves along this line to the extent of some sacrifice of time and study can maintain membership. The training offered consists in preparing for and participating in declama- tion and oratorical contests and formal debates as well as regular practice in addressing audiences on prescribed subjects. The outstanding feature of literary work this year will be a duel inter- collegiate debate between M. A. C. and Springfield College. Some very keen interest in this contest is manifested by both the faculty and student body. It means the securing of literary and scholarly recognition as well as technical pro- fessional recognition for Springfield College. This has not properly existed here- tofore. VVhile some very valuable results have been secured to participants and to the College, it is hoped that even better results may be obtained as the years go by. 142 THE MASSASOIT 1921 I 'Alf 'F' U5-gJ'fV MCKINLEY LITERARY SOCIETY President, H. MALETTE Vice-Pre sident, I. D. l'usTER Secretary-Treasurer, VV. XV. VVATTERS The work of the McKinley Literary Society during the past year has been, in many respects, very gratifying indeed. Vnder the leadership of such men as Mr. Harry Edwards, Mr. Louis VVatson, Mr. Ed. Bullock, and Mr. Harry Ma- Lette, the society has carried on its work in a very successful manner. The aim of the society is to promote A'Public Speaking and f'Oratory among its mem- bers, and to give them the theory and practical knowledge of this most interest- ing art. One of the most prominent alumni of this College in a recent talk at Chapel said that the success of a Physical Director would be measured by the way in which he is able to talk to people and present the subject of Physical Training to them and tell them why they need to exercise. And it is with this idea in View that McKinley Literary Society has gone forth during the past year and prospered. Various programs have been arranged during the year, in which dif- ferent topics of interest were presented by members of the society, and the prog- ress of the members in the presentation of their subject has been extremely gratifying and a wonderful testimonial to the work the McKinley Literary Soci- ety is striving to accomplish. Not least among the prominent activities of this society were the socials, held under the direction of Mr. Taraldsen, and they were thoroughly enjoyed by all, The society further distinguished itself by winning Erst and second places in the oratorical contest. To the incoming class of Springfield men, and to those members of Spring- field College who have not as yet tied-up with any literary society, we solicit our wares, and as advertising matter point to the men that McKinley Lit- erary Society has turned out in the past. 143 THE MASSASOIT 1921 XYlillJliNSAl.l. l.lTliRARY SOCIETY l'resident, A.

FITCH The XYeidcnsall Literary Society has fully lived up to the good reputation it earned during the telling days of the war. At this time XVeidensall kept going and at all times it was a real society. Last year it was one of the leading soci- eties. and it took second place in the finals of the inter-society debates. This year Xleidensall cut all the dead wood and started out with the same old pep which has been a distinctive element in the society's success. Une of the big things lYeidensall accomplished was to link itself up with The Volle- giate Country l.ife flub of America. This society now has a definite program and a goal to go forward to, not a hit-or-miss scheme. XXX-iclensall is going to make a contribution to this association. One of the big events in the life of XYeidensall for this year was the winning of the inter-society debates. Our team, which was composed of Messrs. A. T. Noren. '2l, Cf li. Fitch, '22, F. Mi. Maynard, '23, carried our honors off in fine shape and we feel proud of them and of their achievements. The first team to fall before them was the International Literary Society's representatives. The question in which we secured a unanimous vote of the judges in the final debate wasf Barring Questions of t'onstitutionality and Transportation, the l'nited States Should Own and Operate All Her foal lXIines. Our opponents in the hnals of the inter-society debate was the Philomathean Literary Society. The record of our past year is one which we enjoy to look back upon. Our attendance has always been eighty per cent and over. A real program committee also makes a society a success. Vl'eidensall had one. The regular programs were interspersed with co-ed socials, a dance. and a musical. Professor Vamp- bell has aided us with his willing help and his friendly criticism has helped us to be the real men we expect to be. XYeidensall looks forward 1021 much stronger year with many upperclassmen to help the new coming men. H4 THE MASSASOIT 1921 Pllll.ONl.Yl'lll-IAN l.l'l'liR:XRY S'X'lliTY President, R.

Its purpose is to develop the members along literary lines, espe- cially public speaking, and to create the spirit of fellowship. The past year has been a very successful one. Due to the able coaching of Professor Brock, all of the members have made a clecicled improvement in ora- tory. Several socials have been held. Un such occasions the members would sing their national songs, or perhaps dance their national dance, or else tell some- thing about their country. This made the socials particularly interesting. Vl'hile the International was unable to win either the debating or oratorical contests, it has one of its members on the varsity debating team, which is the highest honor in a literary way here at Springfield. DQ XYINXERS Ulf INTER-SOCIETY IJEBATE 1-16 THE MASSASOIT 1921 147 THE MASSASOIT 1921 The Student Twelve years have passed since the Springheld Student was first published. At that time, January, 1909, it was printed in connection with the Assofiation Seminar. The Student Association later decided it would be advisable to issue the paper separately and the hrst copy under the new regime appeared in Octo- ber, 1910. The Student was considerably enlarged and the quality of paper improved, so that various cuts of student activities could be used. It was published monthly at first and attempted to portray as accurately as possible the student life of the College. In 1916, after careful deliberation, the paper was changed to a weekly, still retaining and further advancing in its attempt to give all the events and activities of the student body. As a weekly it has been a success in every way, serving more as a real purveyor of news and current issues than when appearing monthly. The longer literary articles have been replaced by shorter snapshots of local interest, interspersed with humor and an occasional poem. During the past year the Student has had many battles, not the least of which has been its financial one. VVith hundreds of well-known pamphlets and nationally-known magazines discontinuing publication owing to the exorbitant price of paper, cost of printing, and labor, it has only been by dint of consider- able work that our weekly paper is still up and going. An innovation, which we think helps considerably in the appearance of the Student, was changing from a three-column to a four-column page early in 1920. VVe bespeak for the new staff the continued hearty support and co-operation of the student body which we have so much enjoyed, and we feel that under their leadership the Student will continue to grow in usefulness and power, com- mensurate with the rapid expansion and rising standards of our beloved Alma Mater.

Louis Pecoraro, the College barber, is wielding the ice cream ladle as we enter and as we drop on to an already overcrowded lounge, Lee Stacy comes along with the cookies. The notice on the Fourth Floor Bulletin Board in the foyer has announced that Senator Valdez will be the soloist of the evening, to be accompanied by the 'fCarrot Tops Quartet -Gressens, Chattin, Simmons, and Fisher. And they go like a house afire. HC. V. Herron gives a reading, followed by an an- nouncement by Ab Offer that the monthly Round Robin letter to Cammack, our old Fourth Floor friend, now in India, leaves the next week. A young riot at the door proves to be Lash, Borst, Christian, Demarest, Walker, Manherz, and Studenmeyer, the Crashers of the Fourth Floor. They are just returning from their evening bouts and after they are made welcome, the program continues, with every one joining in a big song fest which courses on to a climax with Good Night, Ladies and 'fAgawam, after which quiet soon reigns on the top side. This is a small taste of the genuine spirit and good fellowship that holds sway in the 9.30-10.30 gatherings of the clan. Many other things, too numer- -ous to mention, are reasons for wanting to be and remain a member of the Fight- ing Fourth. 150 THE MASSASOIT 1921 The Boys' Work Group The course in work with boys is conducted on the assumption that a boy's chief problem is conscious adjustment on his part to life and to the fundamental institutions of society, and that his chief need is tactful coaching that will in- spire and challenge him to make this needed adjustment. The tendencies that characterize each period of life are discussed in order that the approach to peo- ple may be made as intelligently as possible, and the interests that bulk largest in the attention and affection of a boy are noted and analyzed in order that the potential good or harm may be understood. The purpose of the course is to coach prospective leaders of boys so that they may help boys to establish proper relationships with themselves and with others. The time given to the course in the class room has been equally divided between an understanding of boys and an acquaintance with programs of work with boys. 151 THE MASSASOIT 1921 Foreign Missionary Club Early in the school year the Foreign VVork Group reorganized. A good beginning had been made the year previous, and with this background, the new group was able to put on a larger and better program than ever before. Because the Group wished to so organize and conduct its work that the maximum of beneft might be secured for all, a policy was drawn up, to which all members subscribed. lt was definitely stated that the purpose of the For- eign VVork Group was to bring to the attention of the student body and to the people of the community of Springfield, the tremendous importance of the work of Foreign Missions, including the foreign Work of the Y. M. C. A.. and, in doing this, to endeavor to influence men of the school to consecrate their lives to work in other lands. Mexico was elected as the first country to be studied by the Group. Begin- ning early in October and continuing until Christmas, the Group met every Tuesday night, under the direction of Professor Rudman, who had covered much of Mexico in his travels and had an intimate knowledge of the country. After this course terminated, other fields were taken up. Mr. Suva delivered a lec- ture on the Philippines, Professor Hyde gave us a clearer conception of the work of missions in the Near East, and Mr. Hoh enlightened us on present-day condi- tions in China. Several members of the Group went out during the winter to various churches in and about Springield with deputation teams, topresent the problems of the foreign Held. Approximately forty-Five men have actively identifed themselves with the Foreign VVork Group. Eleven delegates attended the Connecticut Valley Mis- sionary Conference at Yale during March. Though the Group did not accomplish all that they had set forth in their policy to do, still they feel that the aim was high, and that another year will see the Group even better organized and more nearly approaching their ideals as a society. 152 MASSASOIT 1921 Springfield College Masonic Club 'lihe Springfield College Masonic Club was organized in 1916 with about twelve membersg reorganized after the war with a membership of thirty men: and at the present time has the largest enrollment in its history. The member- ship consists of forty, of whom there are seven 32, two 18, one 16, and three 14 degree men in the Scottish bodies, and one Chapter Mason in the York work. Very cordial relations are enjoyed with the various orders in the city, the members of the 14th grade having the pleasure of working one of the degrees, and establishing a permanent degree team for that grade. The club is also one of the gathering places for the College men and many pleasant evenings have been spent there. Encouraging reports have been received from the National Chapter of the Collegiate Masonic Clubs and Springfield may soon he enrolled in this group. Ofti cers President, HARRY T. AlC3lICHAIEl.

All students of Springfield College who come from homes west of the Mississippi River are eli- gible for membership in this club. The aim of the club is to draw the men from the various states of the VVest into closer fellowship. Also to make Springfield College more widely and favorably known throughout the West. The club holds regular meetings at dinner in the small dining room of VVood's Hall twice each month. Members President, A. B. OFFER Secretary and Treasurer, H. VV. ANDERSON Social Chairman, A. E.

We have enrolled about thirty-Five men from our state as members of the club. Our motives for organization have been to promote the social relations among the jerseyites and to establish relations between the men at College and the state departments of the Y. M. C. A., public school physical departments, and Boy Scout leaders. From time to time correspondence is carried on advising the state officials of activities at the College and also helping the students to keep in touch with home affairs. In this way we are able to learn of vacancies at home which we may have the opportunity to fill. One of the main objects of this organization is to interest Jersey men in the opportunities offered them by Springfield College and to welcome new men and make them feel at home when they get here.

The club holcls several social events during the year. The final event of the season is the Beefsteak Breakfast l'p the Lake, when the officers for the ensuing year are elected.

The Nutmeg Club A group of men who hail from the state of Connecticut banded together for the purpose of closer fellowship and acquaintance. It is the aim of these men to get acquainted with the problems in connection with our work in all parts of the state, and, if possible, to co-operate in any way to help out in the work of the Y. M. C. A. in the state. Also it is the hope of every man to spread the message of Springfield to the people back home so as to enlist as many men of the right type for the College as possible. VVe plan to meet all men from Connecticut when they first arrive here and :lid them to become acclimated to their new surroundings. 157 THE MASSASOIT 1921 Penn State Club Out of loyalty and patriotic pride in their state, the men from Pennsylvania organized the Penn State Club some years ago, which has continued steadily to grow larger and better from year to year. The object of this organization is to promote a closer fellowship among the men from Pennsylvania and through communication and co-operation with state activities, keep each of them in touch with conditions and activities as they are carried out from time to time. The club bears the expense of the subscription to one of the leading news- papers from Pennsylvania, which is sent to the College library. Meetings are held once each week at which short programs are carried out, discussing the vari- ous state problems of interest at that time. As a result of this policy each mem- ber becomes thoroughly acquainted with his entire state, and is more enthusi- astic than ever to return at the close of his College course to help in the solution of its problems. It is also our purpose to interest others of the Keystone State in the oppor- tunities of Springheld College, as well as look after their general welfare while here, by an organization which will unite them in fellowship and interest in their home state. Our anticipations for the future are great because of the big men that have come from Pennsylvania and those whom we have reason to believe are coming. Officers President, E. H.

In 1903 there were several students from other parts of the Empire, and the name was changed to British Students' Fraternity, and in 1909 the name was again changed to British Society. The society now numbers eight students and three faculty members. In past years the society has had as high as thirty-four members with eight parts of the Empire being represented. This year Canada claims all the members. The object of the society is to welcome and help new members from across the border and over the seas, and to foster a feeling of friendship and good will toward the United States and of love and loyalty to dear old Springfield.

As a result, six members of the Class of 1922 are spending one year at their foster Alma Mater. Uur class is the first class since 1916-17 to enter M. A. C. as specials. Few of the Aggie student body knew of the Springfield-M. A. C. co-opera- tive plan, and, still worse, a very few members of the faculty. Such a condition brought about a good deal of misunderstanding as to our status at M. A. C. It took practically the entire first term for us to prove that we were not football Hscoutsf' XVe had to overcome not only the prejudices of the student body but also those of the faculty. for the faculty look upon Hspecialn students as excess baggage. VVe have reason to believe. though, that next year's group will not have the same difficulties to face. Our watchword is Back to Springfield in 1921 Y Mvizox H. Dowxs H.ARCJI.l7 I.. IQIMBALI. D.

Cosmopolitan Club For the first time in the history of the College, Springfield has a f'Cosnio- politan Club. For years past the foreign students of the College have keenly felt the need of such an association, but for various reasons they found it impos- sible to give life to their aspirations. 4 Today, through the united effort of each and every foreign student, and the splendid co-operation of the faculty and of all the American students of the College, the club is not only a reality, but it is doing splendid work and its sue- cess is sure and bound to become greater and greater. In nearly every important college and university in the country, where there is an attendance of foreign students, there exists a Cosmopolitan Club. The purposes of our club run parallel with the ideals and activities of the other cosmopolitan clubs of the country. Some of the most important purposes may be stated as follows: To unite students of all nationalities in the College for their mutual bene- fit, socially, intellectually, morally, and spiritually, To promote friendly relations between foreign and American students. To bring foreign students in Contact with L'American home life. To disseminate accurate information regarding affairs and conditions of all the countries represented in the organization. 161 THE MASSASOIT 1921 To promote friendly relations with other cosmopolitan clubs. The club holds one business and one fellowship meeting per month. lt has a social every two weeks, and at these socials different speakers are usually invited. So far we have been honored by a talk from Dr. Doggett, another from Mr. Crew, Y. M. C. A. secretary for South America, and also one from Mr. Grossi, secretary of the Italian Student Federation, who was here in this country on a visit to the different schools. Two socials have also taken place at one of the local churches of the city, where all the members of the club were kindly invited and royally treated. Many other socials of the kind are to take place in the near future. There are three kinds of members: Cal Activeg Cbj Associate, fcj Honorary. .American students may also become active members, although their num- ber is limited to not more than half of the entire active membership. At present, the number of active members in the club is twenty-three, but there are very good reasons to believe that such a number will be greatly increased in the near future. The following eleven nationalities are represented in the club: Armenia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Peru, Philippines, Switzer- land, Uruguay. Officers President, T. B.

The MASSASOIT and its success as an annual publication is largely due to the support and efforts put forth by the advertisers in this de- partment. When purchasing any article, no matter how small, tell the firm that you are a Springfield man. That is the only way the busi- ness man will know that he is getting returns from his investment. Let him know we appre- ciate his interest in our activities. Help build up a better interest between the business man and the students. This is a vital proposition and affects all of us. 'bf' We know these firms are reliable, and that they will do their best to satis- fy you. Their belief in the MASSASOIT as an advertising medium has to a great extent made it possible. We appreciate their interest in our College, and know you will benefit by giving them a fair trial.
