The Redman opens up a game That no one knew about; The white man jumps the Redman’s claim, And rubs the Redman out. No doubt, He rubs the Redman out.

Born February 12, 1847 Died October 15, 1925 T HE Fall of 1925 marked the passing of one of the staunchest and most faithful servants of Springfield College, Jacob Titus Bowne. Born at Glen Cove, Long Island, on February 12, 1847 and educated in the public schools of New York City, he early evinced a keen interest in Christian work, particularly that type which would bring him into intimate contact with young men. For the twenty years previous to his retirement on June 5, 1923, Mr. Bowne was college librarian and during the latter part of his work he was an instructor in Library Methods. He started his great work at Springfield in 1885 when the college was still in its infancy, and was a dominating factor in the phenomenal growth of the institution, which is still growing owing to the inspirational work of Mr. Bowne. When the present library of the college was built in 1910 it was he who planned it and helped make it one of the foremost institu- tions of its kind in the United States. Besides being a librarian of note as well as a leader of men, lie was also an authority on history and anthropology. He was a lover of the great outdoors and whenever the opportunity presented he would make trips into the surrounding country in quest of anthropological information and handiwork of America’s primitive peoples. He made personal investigations on the coast of Maine, on Long Island Sound, in the Chesapeake-Potomac section and on the Pacific Coast. In this section of New England Mr. Bowne was one of the noted authorities on the American Indian. His was a life imbued with the exuberant spirit of youth. Old in years but young in spirit, he was ever ready to advance the cause of youth and the interests of the men at the college. 10 2 6 Twenty-eight 4ZSB b 03 3J ®{)e Jfflafisiastott STUDENT INSTRUCTORS Physiology Lab.

Lancaster Secretary R. J. George Treasurer C. D. Vibberts CLASS HISTORY L OOKING back over the past four years we cannot help but realize that Springfield has meant more to us than we ever dreamed it could. We have come to realize that the main benefit of these years is the lasting benefits of the contacts with our fellow-students and with the faculty, of college “life” as distinct from the acquisition of knowledge in our courses. We recognize two kinds of value in a college education. First, the knowledge of certain subjects which are essential to getting on in one’s profession technically, and, second, the knowledge of human nature acquired through competitions and other contacts with fellow- students and the advantage that comes with studious and orderly habits carried on into later years. Graduates of colleges, who have reached posi- tions of importance in the world, have found that the first group of values diminishes and finally disappears almost entirely, and that they avail them- selves more and more of the values of the second group. This is an age of strain and steel, electricity, chemistry, and science, but — as always — the main element is man. Accordingly, as college gives the young man any just estimate of human relations it gives him a start in the most interesting, complicated, and useful science of them all. To some extent it gives him that. But it gives him another asset. College gives the young man a wider picture of his possibilities than he would be likcb r to get elsewhere. He studies humanity in the terms of success, in the lives of great men. He lives in an atmosphere of great things. In- stinctively he absorbs an ambition of success and service. It becomes a part of him and gives him vision to play the full part in life which his talents enable him to play. College, of course, can add little to a man’s native ability but it can enlarge his knowledge, vision, and ambition so that his ability may be turned into fields a hundred times greater than it might otherwise be. Thirty-three 0 . Springfield has given us all of this and fully realizing this is but a start, we resolve to “carry on,” ever learning, and ever cooperating with those with whom we come in contact, serving humanity to the best of our abilities. And while we have been getting this broader aspect of college life, what have we been doing in those activities which come along with the more worthwhile things? The class fights we shall always remember, for they were real fights. Some we lost and some we won, but winning or losing, we gained a great deal. The fights served to weld us into a single unit. Fighting side by side for a common cause we learned to know each other better and as a result have been able to work together and accomplish things which otherwise might have been impossible. In athletics, as a clsiss, we have been rather successful. Our class teams have always been composed of men who were intensely interested in the game, and as a result have been exceptionally well groomed in the game to which they have given their attention. In our sophomore year we were extremely successful, carrying off the inter-class championships. But we have not stopped with athletic endeavors. Our men have been in terested greatly in the activities of the Student Association. We are proud of our members who have held office in this organization. They have always had at heart the interests of the school and the student body, and have worked without thought of self to put into force those things which would be of greatest benefit to the student body. And now graduation day approaches. We are to receive our rewards for four years of successful effort, and must bid our fellow-students, fac- ulty, and school goodbye. We shall be glad, of course, to receive our degrees and glad of the opportunity to go out into the world and put into practice the things we have learned, but at the same time we shall be exceedingly sorry to say goodbye to those things which have come to mean so much to us. But although we must say goodbye, we can never forget. We resolve to ever be Springfield men, and to live up to the ideals for which Springfield stands. We would have people know us and respect us because of our high ideals, and say of each one of us, “There goes a Spring- field man.” 1926 Thirty- four 00 0 ®fje Jfflns asoit cei; E.

Tuttle CLASS HISTORY I N the Fall of 1923 there migrated to the banks of Lake Massasoit by that tortuous and winding trail of the famous King Street line, another unsophisticated and motley group some one hundred eighty-five strong to pay homage to the much rumored “powers that be.” We were some- what lacking in collegiate wisdom, uncouth as to culture and seemingly with an over abundance of that characteristic “Charlie Young.” But not for long, as soon the welcome hand of the upper classmen came forth with a “stinging” proclamation — one egg, one paddle and one fifty cent piece. And the days that followed were a “sure cure” for home- sickness, lonesomeness and such other maladies that accompany an un- accustomed traveler. Love, sentiment, and desire were all cast aside for the one word “obey,” and while in that state of coma of trying to tell which tasted the better, calsomine or angleworms, the most prevailing thought was, “It won’t be long now.” Suffice to say we met King Massasoit who sure made Nero look like a “piker.” Welcomed and officially recognized as a class of Springfield, the sons of 1927 elected temporary officers to lead and direct our destinies. But the warriors were faithful and after a skin swelling time our lordly Sophs received an unanticipated baptism. The rope pull proved to be a mere skirmish as compared to the “Battle of Kirkham’s Plateau” which could well replace the Waterloo of history. Quickly following came the cane rush to decide banquet honors — here the “chivalry” of ’27 played its part and allowed ’26 the glories of the day. n 8 M 8 3 26 i£Di Seventy-one SCP e Jtlassasoit cel JUNIOR CLASS ( Continued ) Days will come and go, but the “cap” game of ’23 when we entered the fray with heavy odds against us and succeeded in having the announcer declare “All bets off, a tie game,” will live on forever. We were well rep- resented in the coveted inter-class honors for the year, finishing the season with the Water Sports Championship. Lest we wander from the train of thought, perhaps one of the best, may we say happiest of our achievements was the establishment of the Hickox-Otto-Kirkham-Affleck camp for juvenile Daniel Boones. Perhaps the mention of “one man, two buckets” will do enough to recall those days of six A. M. arisals. Thus ended the fighting history of ’27 as a Freshman class. Being now endowed with Springfield spirit, and having proven the right to tread the sacred campus through merit of valiant deeds, each warrior departed to his home town to tell of honors won in the cause of might and right. Our Sophomore year saw us changed men, not only in respect to our head gear, but to our changed attitude as well. We were beginning to look forward, not only to Seniors, but to the goal for which we had begun our study. While our studies commanded a goodly share of our time, they by no means held all our attention. Football and Soccer loomed up and our class called forth its sons to represent the Alma Mater. Interclass sports and fights came and we give credit to those who deserve it. As Juniors looking back upon our second year, we feel that while we were a bit sophisticated, the year’s record perhaps justified this feeling more than a little. It was a great feeling to realize that we now had become upperclass- men 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. “Time waits for no man” and events and happenings of the year soon sped on until we find ourselves with the Prom before us and the historical Junior Trip behind. 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. Our apprehension is still more impressive as we think of the things yet to be accomplished and the responsibility to be undertaken. A review of our three years of- activity and achievement, however, amplifies the con- fidence 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. 1026 N ' i ft Seventy-two Id ®(je jflflasigasiott dl Junior Directory Althoff, Philip William Bartlett, Clarence Henry Bessom, William Hutt Bolander, Ralph Henry Bond, William Ralph Boughner, Britton Fogal Brask, Andreas Carlson Braun, John Charles Burr, Wendell Pomeroy Caldwell, William Allen Chamberlain, Earl Hamilton Crosby, Fred Deforest Crump, Kenneth Gordon Cue, Warren Hastings Davis, Roland Thomas Deming, William Hart, Jr. Diaz, Manuel Joaquin Dickerson, Robert Turner DiGiovanna, Vincent Gabriel Donnell, Raymnd Frederick Eberhardt, Charles John Enslee, William Thatcher, Jr. Erickson, Ralph Winthrop Etter, Frederic Burns Field, Floyd Spencer Ford, Ernest Milton Fuller, Stanley Thompson Gifford, Donald Grover Gilliam, James Herbert Goodwin, Alfred Stanley Greene, Ralph Preston Groe, Roy Gilman Grupe, Austin Kruth Hafner, John Kenneth Hagamen, Wilbur Dayton Heartz, Eldon William Hinchcliffe, Leroy Charles Hyatt, Arthur William Jackson, Clarence Channing, Jr. Jayne, Francis Willard Jenkins, Arthur Moyer Johns, John George, Jr. Johnson, Paul Eric John Jonah, Wesley William Kallock, John Robert Kemp, James Laurence, Jr. Kern, Rene Jules Kiggins, Brooks Marion Lane, Alvah Granger New York City Derry, N.

CLOGSTON Sophomore Class OFFICERS President Roy B. Clogston Vice-President John F. Hopf, Jr. Secretary Hollis A. Sanderson Treasurer Fred K. Higgins CLASS HISTORY I N the early days of September, 1924, there gathered on the shady cam- pus of Springfield College 160 “green” and “lowly” Freshmen. Little did we realize the rough and stony way that we would have to travel for the next ten months. Little did we realize the great task of becoming true “sons of Old Massasoit,” which we were about to take upon our shoulders. The first term of our course at Springfield was spent in welding us into a unified class which would stand the rough voyage on the great sea of college activities. This process began with the initiation, both formal and informal. This was our first real taste of the discipline to which wearers of the green are entiled. Then came the call to serve Old Spring- field and our first opportunity to make the Class of 1928 one that should be remembered in years to come. For two days we labored with pick and shovel and at nightfall of the second day a foundation for a new athletic field was completed. Then came the class scraps. The rope pull went to the Sophomores, after a hard tussle. Then the flag rush, the morning when a sturdy, de- termined group of yearlings brought victory to their class by withstanding the terrible onslaught of the second year men, successfully defending their beloved green emblem. Finally came the cane rush and again ’28 showed its strength and class spirit by taking four of the five canes and winning the right to dine in peace. The winter term came and passed. The Class of 1928 began to show some of its wonderful athletic material by producing very successful teams, ► m Y Seventy-seven 1KP je Jtlassiagott CLASS HISTORY (Continued) both Freshman Varsity and interclass. We got away to a poor start in the fall sports, but by spring we had gathered in enough points to take the interclass sport championship, the height of athletic fame toward which every class aims. We were the first Freshman class to win this distinction. September of 1925 finds the campus crowded with students shaking hands and telling how glad they are to get back to Old Springfield once more. Here and there we see a group of green caps huddled somewhat apart and acting almost afraid to speak. Close by we find a group of Sophomores taking great pride in the fact that there is someone beneath them on campus. This is the first evidence of the responsibility that the Class of 1928 must take upon itself for the next few months. The class scraps came along and again we lost the rope pull. The flag rush was a different story. After many class meetings and pep talks, a spirit of determination to obtain the green flag from the lowly Frosh was aroused. Strategy, force and psychology, combined with loyalty were the elements that made the Class of ’28 the first to take the coveted emblem from the Freshman Class. The cane rush was a repetition of the previous year, ’28 winning four canes and the right to dine in peace. We are now well along toward the time when 1928 must fill important positions in the student government and to contribute even more to the making of a better Springfield. We came here as raw material; we have been molded into material for real Springfield men ; we have been exposed to the ideals of Springfield ; we have been given every opportunity to show what we can do as Freshmen and Sophomores, and our record indicates that ’28 has not faltered. It is now our earnest hope and aim that the same spirit of determination to do our best that has predominated through- out the minor achievements of our first two years, will continue to lead us on in the task of making Old Springfield the “very best place on earth.” Sophomore Directory Allen, Albion Davis Alphonso, Mariano Andreas, Charles Reuben Ash, Clarence D.

J. Knauss Treasurer C. McLaughlin CLASS HISTORY D URING the week of September 8th there gathered at Springfield Col- lege some “fresh” and raw recruits, one hundred and eighty-five strong. They came from places north, south, east and west eager to become a part of Springfield, and not too proud to wear the green to do so. With so large a body of men there must be some provision to secure discipline. To this effect the Court of Chief Massasoit summoned all the “wearers of the green” to appear at midnight on the 22nd of September, at which time each received a chart of instructions and a further mark of distinction. The last day of this same month was a date looked forward to by ail enrolled. As newcomers to the City they were to receive a hearty wel- come to Springfield ; as newcomers to the school they were to make their first acquaintance with Chief Massasoit. The affair was an impressive one and proved a “hit” with most everyone present; the “chain gang” fur- nishing most of the entertainment. The impressions made by the “pines” on that eventful evening were more deeply imprinted the following evening when they gathered upon the “oaks” of the East Gym for the formal initiation. At this gathering ac- quaintance was made with the faculty members and their wives. One brisk Saturday morning forty of the choicest men of the class were called upon to display their strength and valor, doing so very effect- ively by administering a free bath to an equal number of Sophomores in the chilly waters of Lake Massasoit. 2SW 1026 «3f Eighty-three QflQ O fin 633 ®fje jffla gasoit ccs FRESHMAN CLASS (Continued) The class had hopes of repeating this victory a few weeks later in the second combat, but being green Freshmen, were unaware of the strategic plans and trickery of their worthy opponents and had to bow before them in defeat. Like warriors of old, they put forth all energy possible in the final effort to win the banquet honors, but alas, were once more over- powered. The teams of the Class of 1929 have established an enviable record. The football team showed frequent evidences of containing Varsity ma- terial which will prove valuable in the future. The soccer squad is to be commended upon its long string of victories. In basketball a record has been established which is entirely unbeatable, the team having been un- defeated during its lengthy season. The one real get-together of the Class took place in the form of the Annual Banquet. The affair was held at the Highland Hotel and the first year men turned out one hundred and thirty-five strong. At this Banquet the underlying aim and purpose of each and every man, namely, “a bigger and better Springfield,” was sensed and called forth by the speaker of the evening, Professor Cheney, a former member of the faculty. There is not one of the Class who has not found the “Springfield Spirit,” and it will be only a matter of time when Springfield may surely be proud of the young- sters of this year. Especially is this true under the leadership of one of their biggest and best, “Bob,” their Class President. The Class could not have made a finer choice for a leader.

QUIMBY VARSITY BASEBALL M EETING some of the strongest college teams in the East, the Varsity Baseball team of 1925 emerged victorious in six of its sixteen games, tieing one, and losing the re- maining ten by very small margins. As can be seen by the comparative scores, the Red and White nine outscored its opponents by a lone run, thus giving- ample indication of the keen playing that characterized the 1925 Varsity nine. Coach Berry, returning from a year’s leave of absence, again took over the reins as Baseball mentor and imme- diately set himself about the task of turning out a formidable nine. This he did and the strength of Springfield on the diamond caused much com- ment in collegiate baseball circles. Manager Quimby, in arranging the seventeen game schedule, man- aged to add three new faces to the baseball gallery — Dartmouth, Harvard and Massachusetts Aggies. The schedule called for six home games, the team being required to visit foreign fields in the remaining contests, on trips ranging from one to five days. Opening the season with Wesleyan, the Varsity won a close victory by a 4 to 3 score, although the return game found the Red and White trailing Wesleyan by a 5 to 2 score. A tie game with the strong Providence College combination, gave early evidence of the stre ngth of the Springfield team but as the season progressed and the list of defeats by margins of a lone run increased it looked as though the Varsity was doomed, but Coach Barry found the weakness and strengthened it, and the result found the sons of Massasoit among the leaders. Perhaps the most outstanding game of the season was the hard fought contest with Boston College on Pratt Field. Both teams were evenly matched it seemed, although the “Hub City” nine scored their three runs in the early innings of the game. For seven breath-taking frames, each filled with spectacular playing, these rival players pitted their strength and wits against each other. A ninth inning rally netted the Varsity two runs, but Boston rallied and the game ended 3 to 2 in favor of the Back Bay team. Victories over Trinity, Connecticut Aggies, Norwich and Mass. Aggies also proved high spots in the 1925 baseball season. It would be hard to pick the outstanding players on last Spring’s team without mentioning each individual man, because unity and teamwork predominated and was by far the outstanding characteristic of the season. But the back-stop work of Captain Hanson; the pitching of Crawley and Gates, the sensational fielding of Captain-elect Berry and the allround work of Wright, Shanks and Jenkins, is worthy of mention in this sum- mary of the past season.

The Red and White quartet was given a rousing sendoff by the student body which was raised to a high pitch of enthusiasm, due in part to the success of the Red and White team in the relays the previous year. Although the team did not emerge with a first place, they made a very credit- able showing and finished in third place. Captain Harrison H. Clarke ran one of the best races of his long track career, covering the quarter mile in some- thing less than 50 seconds. The other three men, Gifford, Grimshaw and Russell also turned in excellent times and are to be commended upon their excellent showing. The first track and field meet was held at Troy on May 2 against the R. P. I. Engineers. The Red and White showed their superiority and came through with a very decisive victory. The next test for the Springfield tracksters was the annual Eastern Intercollegiate meet. This proved to be a runaway for Coach Rothacher’s athletes. They ran up a total that more than doubled the score of the nearest competitor, and incidentally this was the second time in as many years that the Red and White came through with an overwhelming vic- tory. Several records were broken at this meet and many old marks were tied, by both Springfield and visiting athletes. The second dual meet of the season was held at Springfield on the 16th of May. Boston University furnished the opposition and the athletes from the Hub City were sent home on the short end of a 75 to 60 score. As in former meets, the Red and White came through the battle with a decisive win. One week later, Captain Clarke and his cohorts were overwhelmed by the West Point Cadets. The Army athletes piled up 95 points while Springfield was able to run up but total of 41. This was the first defeat of the season and although the men put up a good fight, they were no match for the soldiers. The Red and White machine was somewhat han- dicapped by the absence of Captain Clarke who was out of the meet with a sprained ankle. In the last meet of the season held on Pratt Field Coach Rothacher’s men again suffered defeat at the hands of the powerful Bates college team. The meet was close throughout and the final result was always in doubt. When the points were totaled up, it was found that Bates had emerged the victors by a scant margin of five points. Although losing the last two meets, the Red and White had a success- ful season and with the material left for the 1926 team, there should be many more excellent performances turned in.

Led by Captain Clarke, who was in the “pink” of condition as a result of Coach Rothacher’s excellent coaching, this group of quarter-milers en- trained for Philadelphia, the party being composed of Coach Rothacher, Captain Clarke, Manager Morgan, Russell, Gifford and Grimshaw. Competing in Class A, together with teams representing Bates, Rut- gers, Howard, Virginia, Union, Lafayette, Colgate, and Bucknell, this Springfield quartet took third place, after one of the most exciting relay races of the entire carnival. This marked the second year a team representing Springfield has secured a place in the Carnival, and another year will probably see Spring- field entered in other events at this Annual Carnival.

HAGBERG said to represent a glowing tribute to the “Fighting General” Coach Roth- acher, whose expert handling of the gridiron warriors made it possible for Springfield to once again reach the halls of football fame. Cooper Union faced the Varsity in the opening contest on Pratt Field and offered little opposition, going down to defeat 50 to 0. The much famed Rensselaer Polytechnic eleven, fresh from a close game with Harvard, was also crushed under the forceful Springfield attack, the final score being 24 to 0. The University of Vermont offered stubborn opposition, but two field goals gave the Red and White their third victory by a 60-0 score. The first contest on a foreign field, saw the University of New Hamp- shire pound our line during the first half for a 10-0 lead, only to have the “Fighting Eleven” make a magnificent comeback in the final half and tie the score at 10-10. The only defeat of the season came at the hands of the Amherst Col- lege eleven, a well coached and brilliant team. Although the score indicates much superiority on the part of the Lord Jefferies, only those who wit- nessed the struggle, realize the intense and evenly contested battle that it was. The outstanding game of the year, on Thanksgiving morning, found the Mass. Aggies again facing Springfield, reviving a gridiron relation that had extended over many years. Both teams staged what was undoubtedly the finest football classic on Pratt Field in many years. The Aggies led up till the final minutes of play, when a brilliant forward pass, of the shoe- string variety, caught the visitors naping and Springfield scored the win- ning touchdown, giving the Varsitv the final game of a noteworthv season, 18 to 13. This final game saw Captain Elliot lead his team into the fray for the last time and too much can not be said about the manner in which the plucky leader covered himself with glory and brought to a close a remark- able football career. Berry and Crawley also terminated their football playing and displayed in this final game a wonderful brand of individual ability, Berry making the longest run of the year for the second Red and White touchdown through the entire Aggie team.

ETTER l HE Varsity Gymnastic Team of 1925-26, while not making an International tour as did the 1924-25 team, gained for itself much prestige and again proved that Spring- field was unequalled along gymnastic lines. Coach Pennock, in the absence of Professor Judd, took charge of the team and although having but four lettermen, his untiring efforts made it possible for Springfield to be represented by a team of a caliber equal of previous teams. Captain Finn, Miller, West and Kern, were the only survivors of the famous 1925 team and while these men were excellent and experienced performers, it remained for Coach Pennock to develop and train other men to complete the personnel. These men were found in Pease, Eberhardt, Dickerson, Jones, Buxton and Noftle. This group of men, led by Captain Finn, gave a total of fifteen exhibi- tions, covering trips to Vermont, Connecticut, New York, Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Good sized crowds welcomed the Red and White troupe and were high in their praise for the splendid, coordinated team numbers and the excellent apparatus work. The student body and their guests were given an opportunity to see the team display their skill on February 22nd, the Home Exhibition being a glowing tribute to the work of Coach Pennock, Captain Finn, and Man- ager Etter. Pianist Crosby also contributed to the teams success with his playing. Practice started before the Christmas holidays and although the first exhibition was not scheduled until January 15, the men drilled conscien- tiously for more than six weeks. Finally the date for the opening exhibi- tion came and Manager Etter escorted his team to Bellows Falls, Vt., where the initial exhibition took place. From here the team journeyed to Spring- field, Vt., where on the following day it presented its program to a select gathering which was, as on the opening night, warmly received. Several trips of three and four days duration completed the schedule for the Winter term. Manager Etter, however, succeeded in arranging a trip for the Spring vacation and consequently the team exhibited in Wil- mington, Del., and Camden, N. J. Leaving the New Jersey town on the 22nd of March, the Red and White gymnasts traveled to Germantown, Pa., and completed their trip. The final exhibition of the season was presented at the Capitol Theater. This, like all previous exhibitions, proved to be a huge success and Spring- field can well be proud of the 1926 Varsity Gymnastic Team. Six lettermen will be lost by graduation, but there is some promising material in the present Freshman and Junior Varsity teams for 1927. The versatile Rene Kern was elected Captain of next year’s team to succeed W. S. Finn, while Manager Etter was reappointed and is already working on next year’s schedule.

CENTER VARSITY BASKETBALL T HE Varsity Basketball team, under the able coaching’ of Les Mann, completed one of its best seasons in the history of the sport at Springfield, winning a total of ten games, losing only to Connecticut Ag- gies and New Hampshire State. Vic- tories over such teams as Harvard, Massachusetts Aggies, Amherst, R. P. I., and Vermont, made the 1925-26 Red and White quintet a truly wonderful one. The two opening games with Norwich and Worcester Tech were played on the home court, and were won with compar- ative ease. It required an overtime period to decide the Tufts game at Medford, Springfield winning by the close score of 29 to 27. Amherst offered little opposition to the powerful attack of the Red and White going down to defeat by a score of 37-10. Soon after Norwich was defeated by a 44 to 10 score. The final games of the year found the Varsity facing some of the strongest teams in the East, but our team was master and continued to pile up its string of straight victories at the expense of such teams as Harvard, Vermont, Massachusetts Aggies and Rensselaer. To the student body, the outstanding game of the season came on Washington’s Birthday with the closing contest of the season at home, which found the strong Vermont five, our ancient rivals, facing Captain Crawley and his team in what proved to be a sensational game from the opening whistle to the final gun. The Green Mountain boys led the Red and White at half time by a 21-12 margin, but in the second half our Var- sity staged a comeback that will long be remembered by the large crowd of spectators that witnessed the conflict. In Captain Crawley, the team had a leader that was characterized by his coolness in action and quick thinking, his long baskets were the feat- ures of several games, and his all-round ability as a guard and leader, marked him as one of the best Captains Springfield has ever had. Bob Berry also closed a brilliant basketball career with the 1925-26 Varsity. “Bob” was easily the fastest man on the floor and his sensa- tional dribbling and shooting was outstanding during the past season. Prospects are exceptionally bright for the Varsity of 1926-27 in that Captain Crawley and Berry are the only men lost by graduation. With such men as Captain-elect Erickson, Burr, James, Nordyke, and Wagner, together with the material from the undefeated Freshman team, the en- viable record established by the Red and White quintet during the past season stands well to be continued.

TUNG VARSITY TENNIS URING the early spring of 1925 Coach Brock started work on the building of his Varsity Tennis Team. One could see the court candi- dates hard at work in the gymnasiums daily; and a little later, as the men took to the courts for outdoor practice, the observer could easily see that the ma- terial was the best that Springfield had had in years. Led by Captain Tung, the team developed rapidly and as the initial match drew near, Coach Brock selected Rivers, Thomas, Bass, and Sauer, to be his team mates. These men constituted the team for the remainder of the season and they indeed accomplished a noteworthy task in sweeping aside the many strong college teams through- out New England, and brought much glory to Springfield. Manager Chesley arranged an elaborate schedule of 9 games of which 7 were won (singularly, all by a score of 4 to 2) and 2 were lost. This comprised one of the best records made by a Springfield tennis team in the last few years, losing matches only to Wesleyan and Dartmouth. The team got off to a fine start, winning three matches in a row before bowing to Wesleyan. Worcester Tech, Clark University, Trinity, Middle- bury and Vermont were the next teams to be defeated before the Varsity lost to Dartmouth by a score of 6 to 0. Return matches were played with Middlebury and Vermont which the Red and White easily captured. Captain Tung was easily the outstanding player on the team, losing only one match during the season. The other members of the team played fine tennis, as the record shows, and are to be commended on their achieve- ments. Tung, Thomas, and Bass will be lost thru graduation and their positions will be hard to fill. Coach Brock, to whom a great deal of the credit rightfully belongs, faces the task of building practically a new team this spring, as there are but a few veterans. 10 26 CDS One hundred thirteen Fowler, Captain G.

C« N { y m )t jHassasoit VARSITY SOCCER T CAPT. FOWLER I HE first call for Varsity Soccer candidates found Coach G. B. Affleck with four letter men as a nucleus for his 1925 eleven and one of the hardest schedules ever arranged to look forward to. Although there were several members of the Freshmen squad of 1924 among the aspirants, the Red and White mentor had an excep- tionally tedious job in developing and organizing the team. As the season progressed, the result of hard work and excellent spirit among the team mem- bers began to manifest itself and vic- tories were scored repeatedly. The season’s record of seven victories and two defeats won for Spring- field the New England Intercollegiate championship. McGill University, champions of Canada for several years running, handed the Red and White booters their first defeat of the season by a 3 to 1 score. From this time on. Coach Affleck’s charges turned in five straight victories before being- defeated by the United States Military Academy eleven at West Point in the last game of the season. However, they had cinched the title by de- feating Dartmouth, Harvard, Yale and New Hampshire in previous games. Captain Fowler led his team mates to a notable victory over the formidable Dartmouth booters in the first game of the season at Hanover. The score was 4 to 3, and it was only the superior team-work and staying power of the team that finally produced a hard-earned victory. Worcester was the next team to suffer defeat at the hands of Springfield, being sub- dued 3 to 0. Apparently awakened by the defeat, Coach Affleck’s men started a winning streak which terminated only when the game with the strong Army team resulted disasterously. The first victim of this winning streak was the Clark University eleven, who offered little opposition, Springfield winning 4 to 2. Next to fall before the swift-moving Springfield combina- tion was Yale conquerors of McGill. An enthusiastic student rally sent the Red and White to New Haven with the vow of “do or die” on their lips. Coach Affleck, knowing that it was the hardest assignment of the season thus far, was optimistic about the game. The entire student body responded to the announcement of a 2 to 0 victory, by a tremendous ova- tion given to the team upon its return. This was the crowning achieve- ment of the season. New York University, New Hampshire, and Harvard were the next to fall in the order named, New Hampshire being swamped 7 to 0. The Varsity Soccer team of 1926 will be without the services of such outstanding and dependable men as Captain Fowler, Abell, Saxon, Lan- caster, Russel, Perry and Vibberts, but with Coach Affleck again handling the candidates, there is no reason why the coming soccer season, with its excellent schedule, should not prove to be equally as impressive as the last. 0 K v e One hundred fifteen )t jWas asoit Varsity Cross Country PERSONNEL E.

P. I., the Varsity Cross Coun- try team under Coach Madan completed its 1925 season with a record of one vic- tory and three defeats. Considering ' the comparative scores it shows that Springfield was but 29 points below par, each meet being characterized by a close score. Eddie Madan, handling the coach- ing reins in the absence of Coach Judd, developed a team which portrayed unity and co-operation and the spirit that pre- vailed among the harriers during their long, hard season would rival that of the bigger Varsity teams. Meeting Dartmouth at Hanover in the opening run, the Varsity lost by a 22 to 36 score, which indicates to the intelligent reader that the run- ners were closely bunched at the finish. On successive Saturdays the team met Yale, Wesleyan, and R. P. I., a task that called for the utmost physical ability and vitality of each runner. On October 24th, Captain Madan led his teammates in the meet with Yale at New Haven. With every member of the Red and White team put- ting their last ounce of energy into the race, Springfield defeated the Blue by a 25-30 score, and in so doing accomplished a task that stamped the 1925 Varsity Cross Country team as one of the greatest in the history of our college. The next week found our runners facing Wesleyan at Middletown. Another hard, tedious race found the wearers of Red and White defeated by two points, the final score being 27 to 29. The final engagement of the season at Troy, with R. P. I., proved that the hard season was telling on the team from Lake Massasoit, and the Engineers defeated Springfield by a 22 to 40 score. We, that had no opportunity to see our Varsity Cross Country team in action during the 1925 season due to the lack of home meets, can hardly appreciate the splendid group that represented our college o’er hill and dale. Our harriers had little chance to come in for their share of glory from the student body except as the reports came back from the few who could follow the team on its trips. Let us therefore remember the eight men who did such a noble task far from our campus and accord them the tribute that they are surely deserving. Next year the prospects are indeed bright. It is true that Captain Madan will be lost by graduation and a truly fine cross country runner was he. One that could always be relied upon to give his best and to be among the leaders on the home stretch. But such men as Payne, Donnell, Cue, Hathaway, Dane, McCabe and Young will be available and this, to- gether with the fine schedule that has been arranged by retiring Manager Ladd, will enable Springfield to place into competition another team which should be remarkable, indeed.

McClellan VARSITY SWIMMING IHE final victory of the season for Coach Rothacher’s Red and White Swimming team estab- lished a record for Springfield tankmen, as it completed an undefeated season over some of the best swimming teams in New England. This enviable record, which embraces a series of six straight wins, was the result of hard work and co-operation on the part of both the coach and the swimmers. Starting the season with only four veterans, it was necessary for the coach to develop men to take the place of those men who had graduated. With a wealth of material from the 1925 Freshman team eligible for varsity competition, this was not as hard as it was first thought, and three weeks of faithful practice in the tank found the men on edge for the first meet of the season with Wesleyan. Reversing the decision of the previous year, Springfield successfully turned back the rivals in a very exciting meet. The second contest was against the strong Williams natators, but the Purple swimmers were submerged and the Rothachermen came through with their second win. The team had a much needed rest during the following week and not until two weeks after the Williams meet did they meet and defeat their third opponent of the season, Boston University. In defeating Bos- ton University, Springfield amassed their highest total of the season, scor- ing 49 points. What was probably the outstanding meet of the season, with Am- herst, found the Red and White the victors by a comfortable margin. One of the largest crowds that ever packed into the McCurdy Natatorium was present to see the downfall of Lord Jeff. Having been undefeated in six meets, the Sabrinas were looked upon to give Springfield more than their share of opposition. However, as the meet progressed, it was evident that the visitors were no match for the speedy Red and White aquatic stars. The final trip of the season brought our team against their most for- midable opponent, Union College, being represented by one of the strongest tank teams in the history of that school. They were out to defeat Coach Rothacher’s undefeated team. Although they did not succeed, it was the hardest battle of the season, and the result was in doubt until the final event had been contested. R. P. I. at Troy the following night offered little opposition and the Red and White completed an undefeated season with six straight victories and a total of 243 points. Captain Robbins, Hamlin, Madan and Bachman, all veterans of three years running, will be lost by graduation, and their absence will be keenly felt. Wohlers is also a senior and will be missing from next year’s team. Frank Hoar will captain the 1927 team and will have such men as Bardo, and Hebei to help in the building of next year’s team.

HAFNER MGR I HE 1926 Wrestling team upheld the reputation and prestige of former Springfield wrestlers by completing their hard schedule of eight meets with but two defeats, scoring a total of 132 points as against their opponents’ 63. Much of the credit for the success- ful season was due to the untiring ef- forts of Coach Miles, who, starting the season with only three veterans, devel- oped a squad of wrestlers of whom Springfield is justly proud. The team opened its season at Providence where it lost to the strong Brown matmen by a score of 19 to 6. The score does not indicate the keen competition that characterized each match. Northeastern furnished the opposition for the initial home meet and were easily defeated by a score of 24 to 5. Harvard outpointed the Varsity in the next meet, but our team atoned for this defeat when they journeyed to West Point and downed the Cadet grapplers, who later defeated Princeton, by a score of 12 to 9. In the second and last home meet Norwich was shut out by a score of 24 to 0, each Springfield man turning in a victory. Williams was the next team to fall before the Red and White by a score of 19 to 8. This was the only defeat the Purple matmen suffered during the season and their defeat came as a surprise. The season closed with a trip to New York City where Brooklyn Polv- tech and C. C. N. Y. were defeated on successive nights. The New York- ers were able to gather but six points in the two meets. The loss of such men as Pringle, Rudert, Boyson and Coach Miles will be keenly felt next year, but with such men as Hafner, Bartlett, Johns, Clogston, and Springer, as well as some promising material from the Fresh- man team as a nucleus around which to build next year’s team, it looks favorable for another big season for Springfield. Manager Ratcliffe is working on an attractive schedule for next year and indications point to a series of meets which will match Springfield against the strongest East- ern colleges. Captain J. K. Hafner of Lawrenceville, N. J., lead his team in admir- able fashion during the hard season, winning his match in every meet and inspiring his teammates with his dynamic personality and whole-hearted co-operation.

This was preceded by a tour of the campus m which Prof. Brock outlined the development of the buildings. Then followed a special Frosh supper and a grand parade through the City to the City Hall. The initiation this year surpassed the efforts of the past few years very considerably. The luckless Freshmen were truly put to the test. The ordeal started in Woods Hall where the repast was the usual uncom- fortable affair — for the Freshmen. There were dancing feet gliding over the tables, silver tongued orators orating, and flying fish and cuckoo birds performing on the rafters. Of course, during the meal there were eggs coming from “hither and yon.” All told, it was a very wet and amusing affair — wet for the Freshmen and amusing for the upper classmen. This supper reception was but a part, however, of a well planned evening. A parade headed by a large band, brought out the crowds to witness the discomfiture of the green topped men. The line strung out for a considerable distance with Chief Massasoit and his worthy scrib es, together with the hooded horsemen lending a bit of color to the procession. At Court Square the parade was halted and the Freshmen aligned them- selves on the steps of the Municipal Building, where they were presented to Mayor Parker. Here they were told about the relationship Springfield One hundred forty-six College has always had with the City of Springfield. Mr. Tucker Smith spoke in behalf of the college. The real initiation, however, took place later in the West Gym. Here the men were put through the paddles’ gauntlet. In their stockinged feet they were introduced to the electric mats, egg shampoos were admin- istered and the usual shoe rush was held. The “worthy scribes” assisting Chief Massasoit did a creditable job in entertaining the Freshmen. Of special interest was the “Chain Gang.” This select group of Frosh celebrities was made to appear before Chief Massasoit for various infringe- ments of traditions and Freshman rules. The charge against each man was read and sentence pronounced. The Royal Bath, the Royal Electric Chair, the Royal Shampoo, the Royal Branding Iron and such Royal Ac- cessories served to carry out the sentences. The “worthy scribes” assisted and saw to it that none of the men were slighted. A busy half hour was spent in the shower rooms after the final event, the shoe rush, had subsided. The following evening the formal initiation was held in the West Gym- nasium. Dr. Doggett and Dr. Kirkham gave short addresses, after which each member of the Student Cabinet explained the work of his office to the Freshmen. A short reception, during which time the Freshmen met the Faculty and their wives, followed. The evening closed with the usual cider and doughnuts served by the White Arrow Club. Thus the Class of ’29 was introduced to Old Springfield. §££ Jflas aSoit ch BSP 1026 One hundred forty-seven ilKP 14ie jWaggago it Mountain Day T HE annual Mountain Day this year was one of the most successful when the foliage is turning from green into those beautiful shades ever held. It came on October 14th, just at that time of the year we associate with the fall season. As in past years the affair was arranged and carried through by the Social Committee, plus the able Chef Hall, without whom no Mountain Day would be complete. About nine o’clock the trucks arrived in front of Woods Hall and about nine fifteen some two hundred and fifty students were riding in them, bound for “points west.” The scene of the outing was kept secret all of which added to the interest in the affair. The trucks proceeded to Woro- noco ball park which the advance guard had already prepared for the occasion. Some grumbling was heard when it was found that it would be impossible to get to Smith or Mount Holyoke, but this was forgotten long before the activities ceased. The number was swelled to almost three hundred when all the collegiate flivvers and the cars belonging to faculty members arrived. A new stunt on the part of the Social Committee was initiated when various groups were required to put on an entertainment for the ladies present. Charlie Pease and his “Reds” took first prize with a farce take off on the discovery of America by Columbus. A close second was the act put on by the “Whites” in which “Shorty” Fowler gave his interpretation of Harold Lloyd in the Freshman. The prize awarded to the winning troupe was the privilege of being first in line for dinner, a prize that was well worth the effort. After the entertainment, mess call was sounded and after the usual scramble a line was formed and each of the fellows received his allotment of steak, biscuits, coffee, cookies, etc. The sharp October air helped to stimulate the appetite and it was not long before a line was formed for “seconds.” However there were plenty of “eats” so every one was satisfied. It had been the custom in past years for the gathering to break up immediately after dinner, but this year everyone stayed for the after- noon’s events. Dr. Kirkham gave one of his interesting Nature talks in which he described the physiology of this part of the state. He then led a special group of hill climbers on a real hike during which he pointed out many examples of his lecture. For those who remained a special pro- gramme of athletics and group games was arranged and some real com- petition was enjoyed. Mid afternoon found most of the fellows “bumming” their way back to town, for the trucks had gone back to Springfield and there were no other means of transportation. It was dusk before the first of the hitch hikers arrived on campus, and most of us had retired long before the strag- glers reached home. All in all the general verdict heard about campus was, “One of the most successful Mountain Day excursions in the history of Springfield College.” 33 10 26 One hundred forty-eight 3 ®lj c jtosasioit , ' ij loao « i One hundred forty-nine Class Scraps T HE most spectacular events during the Fall term were the class scraps namely, the tug of war, the flag rush, and the cane rush. These class battles were created three years ago by a cooperative committee of the faculty and students in order to bring them under super- vision. This has worked extremely well and now, in place of disorganized affairs, the class fights are organized and do much to strengthen the class spirit. The first of the three scraps, the tug of war, was held on that por- tion of Lake Massasoit known as the Narrows. The Sophs lined up on the west bank while the first year men were on the opposite side. At the crack of the pistol both tugged with all their might. First the advantage was with the Frosh, then the lordly Sophomores seemed to be gaining. After ten minutes of intense pulling the Sophs started to give ground, first one and then another felt the cool waters of Lake Massasoit and finally all the representatives of 1928 were pulled through the icy waters. The wearers of the green immediately started a victory march back to campus where they gave a cheer to their traditional enemies. The second scrap, the flag rush, found the Sophs craving revenge. They decided that if they did away with the Frosh officers half the battle would be won. By a clever ruse both the president and vice president of the class of ’29 were spirited away to Westfield, a place where no one can ever be found. The yearlings, finding themselves without leaders, became somewhat disorganized, but gamely decided to go through with the scrap. Shortly after chapel time the flag appeared in back of Dr. Dogget’s house. The Sophomores somehow or other knew the plans of the “greenies” and attacked as soon as the pole was erected. What a battle! Shirts, pants, shoes, and lots of other wearing apparel flew through the air. The second year men using a two wedge attack soon reached the pole, but the Fresh- men rallied and for a time it looked as if they would “hold the fort.” The attackers backed off for awhile in an effort to regain their breath and then charged in again for what proved to be victory. Anderson, riding high on the shoulders of his classmates, was the hero of the day when he grasped the flag bearing the numerals 1929. It was a happy day for ’28 despite bruises, and scrapes. When the rival classes lined up for the cane rush each had won a scrap. Victory not only meant the right to have the class banquet first, but also class supremacy. Ten men were chosen by their classmates to battle for the canes during the first minute. A gun was fired and then for sixty seconds these huskies wrestled with each other. When the sec- ond shot was fired all the contestants rushed into the fray. Talk about moving picture “free for alls,” the cane rush was ahead of any of them. ITie wise Sophomores had knowingly greased their bodies and wore noth- ing but track pants. But the poor Frosh went into the battle fully clothed — few came out that way. After ten minutes of a combination of wrest- ling, football, and leap frog a whistle was blown and then it was found that the Sophs were victors, having most of the canes on their side of the field. The scraps were successful in every sense of the word. Not only did both classes enter into them with unbounded enthusiasm, but everyone showed the best kind of sportsmanship. One hundred fifty Jflas astott A 1026 nxDI One hundred fifty-one KP ®be jWaSSagoit 051 Sports Reception S has been the custom in the past, a sports reception was held at the close of each season in honor of the teams that represented Spring- field during that time. The Spring Sports, which was held during Commencement week, served as a fitting close for the year’s social activities. The Junior Prom decorations were used at this dance, and many of the Alumni were heard expressing amazement at the beautiful transformation of the gymnasium. At this time the Varsity, Junior Varsity and Freshman teams in Baseball, Track and Tennis were honored. The Fall Sports Reception was the first major social event of the sea- son of ’25-6. It was one of the most successful affairs ever held on cam- pus, despite the fact that there were not a great many present. The fact that the Freshmen were not allowed to attend accounted for this. The New England Champion Soccer team, Coach Rothacher’s crack Football team and the Cross Country team as well as the Junior Varsity and Freshman teams in Football, Soccer and Cross Country were the re- cipients of the honors at this occasion. Due to the trips of the upper classes, the Winter Sports Reception was postponed until the Spring term. When the dance did come it proved itself well worth the wait. The original decorations and favors, combined with the “peppy” music made the affair a gala one. The men to be honored at this reception were the members of the New England Champion Basket- ball team, the undefeated Swimming team, the Wrestling team and the Gymnastic team, also the Junior Varsity and Freshman teams in those sports. The past year was a great one athletically and it was fitting that the receptions given in honor of the members of these teams should be of the highest standard. The new policy of presenting the letters and certificates at Chapel instead of at the reception has worked out very well and un- doubtedly will be continued. 0 One hundred fifty-two Q 633 ®be Jflasisiasiott era Indian Pageant and Canoe Carnival T HE Indian Pageant was held this year on June 4th, as part of the Commencement program. As in the previous years, the Class of 1927 furnished most of the characters, who again demonstrated their ability as actors. The pine grove in back of the dormitory and overlooking Lake Massa- soit furnished an ideal setting for the play. The audience, which was con- fined strictly to college men and their guests, was seated on bleachers, which were erected in such a way that the Lake formed a natural back- ground. It is small wonder with such natural surroundings that one did not have to stretch his imagination very far in order to believe he was back in the days of the Puritans. Professor F. S. Hyde of the English Department, wrote the play, and it was mainly due to his efforts that it proved such a success. Wm. T. Simpson acted as director of the production, and he too was responsible in a large measure for the excellent showing. The Pageant centered itself around King Phillip’s War, which took place in this section of New England. There were fourteen entertaining scenes, each of which depicted some form of Indian life. Of special in- terest was the picturesque War Dance scene during which R. T. Dicker- son did a snake dance. The performance ended about nine o’clock, at which time the general public was admitted in order to witness the Canoe Carnival which followed the Pageant. The entire campus had been decorated for this occasion, and the various colored lights strung all over the walks produced an Oriental effect which was further carried out by the balminess of the evening. The committee in charge had hired a band which helped entertain the large crowd that had gathered to view the unusual spectacle. About forty canoes competed for the three loving cups and other prizes which were to be awarded. The canoes paddled around the judges’ stand in a circle while powerful searchlights were played on them from the dormitory. Some of the canoes were beautifully decorated, while others were as comical as they were meant to be. Everything from Italian Gondolas to the King Street trolley were represented, and it was only after careful consideration that the judges awarded the prizes for originality, beauty, and the best class canoe. During the interlude between the semi-final and final judging of the canoes, Professor Judd’s famous Gym Team entertained with some difficult pyramids and impersonations of Greek Athletes. Norman Munn, of the Class of ’28, gave an exhibition of muscle control which also was well re- ceived. After these events the final judging and awarding of prizes took place, thus bringing to a close another successful Canoe Carnival. W?! 24 m s §cp toao « i One hundred fifty-three 133 ®{)e iWagsfasoit Dramatics T HE experiments inaugurated by the Dramatic Committee last year were continued this year with considerable success. The Triangle Club, a dramatic organization made up wholly of freshmen, was or- ganized under the direction of Mr. Simpson. Although the club did not pre- sent a play as last year’s Freshman organization did, they spent most of the first term in studying plays and the mechanics of stagecraft, and so are fitted to form a nucleus for future dramatic productions. The Masque Club did not function as an organization this year, since those who were inter- ested in dramatics had an opportunity to receive training in the regular class in dramatics under Professor F. S. Hyde and Mr. Simpson. The ex- ecutive work of selecting plays and managing the annual production was carried on by the Dramatic Committee. The class in dramatics, first started last year, was of great value in recruiting players this year. Practically all of the male characters in this year’s production were played by men from this class. The annual production itself was of a different type to the plays which have been presented at the College in recent years. The Dramatic Com- mittee felt that the presentation of a serious, well-known play would help to further the interest of the Student Body in worthwhile plays and also give the thespians of the College an opportunity to play parts which were really difficult. The play selected was Sutton Vane’s “Outward Bound.’’ The plot of play revolves around the playwright’s conception of the “here- after.” All the scenes are laid in the smoking room of a liner headed for an unknown port. Scrubby, the steward, is the only one on board who knows the ship’s destination. As the plot progresses the passengers learn that they are all dead, and that the ship is bound for eternity — “For heaven and hell too; it’s the same place, you see,” as Scrubby says. The climax of the play comes when the examiner comes on board and assigns each passenger to his place in the realm of eternity. The cast included three female characters, and these parts were very well taken by Mrs. Elinore Osborne, Mrs. Frieda Ahl and Miss Beatrice Osborne. Mrs. Osborne made a very haughty and impressive Mrs. Clive- don-Banks, and Mrs. Ahl an extremely motherly Mrs. Midget, while Miss Osborne, as Ann carried the final scene of the play in a manner which was truly professional. All the other parts were played by members of the three upper classes. Vibberts, ’26, gave a remarkably good interpretation of Tom Prior, the drunken young ne’er-do-well. Rivers, ’27, was a typical English servant as Scrubby. Larkin, ’27, and Lehman, ’28, were exact opposites as they played the parts of Mr. Lingley, the energetic and self- sufficient business man, and Henry, the quiet young suicide. Cleland, ’26, showed an unsuspected ability as a clergyman in the character of Rev. William Duke. Brockner, ’26, head of the Dramatic Committee, was a very stern and severe examiner as Rev. Thomson. This year’s dramatic work has undoubtedly been a tremendous suc- cess as far as the developing of actors and the making of a definite con- tribution to college dramatics goes. Most of the credit for the success of “Outward Bound” goes to Mr. William Thornton Simpson, whose direction made the production of the play possible. One hundred fifty-four R. J. George M. H. Durr D. P. Miller id itlaSsa oit cd Junior Promenade THE COMMITTEE W. H. McKillop, Chairman A. McClelland E. M. Nettleton C. W. Sofield H. A. Robbins T HE Junior Prom, the biggest social event of the school year, was held during the first week-end in May. Evidently Dame Nature was in a cheerful mood, for she provided ideal weather for what everyone agreed was the best prom ever. The activities opened on Friday afternoon with a baseball game on Pratt Field, but the Promenade held in the West Gym in the evening was the formal opening. The big gymnasium was gorgeously decorated, the pale blue trimmings coupled with the soft lights transformed it into a veritable fairyland. The music furnished by the W. C. T. S. orchestra of Worcester was so good that even some of the stately professors were seen to do the latest steps. After several hours of dancing the guests adjourned to Woods Hall where they enjoyed a delightful luncheonette provided by the one and only Chef Hall. Having recuperated somewhat everyone returned to the gym where they danced until the wee sma’ hours of the morning. The natatorium was also decorated in wonderful style, thus furnish- ing a place for those who desired to sit out dances. Canoes were on the water and even the moon was present causing all who wandered in to be- come, at least, a bit sentimental. After a night’s rest everyone was ready for another day of activities which started with an “up the lake breakfast.” As in past years this was held in Gerrish Grove where the natural beauty of the spot helped to stimulate the appetite — and how those appetites were stimulated. The Eastern Intercollegiates were the main attraction in the afternoon. The Maroon and White trackmen scored an overwhelming victory over seven other schools much to the satisfaction of the girls, who proved to be en- thusiastic rooters. The rest of the afternoon was spent in the West Gym where a tea dance was held for the entire student body. In the evening a number of theatre parties were held at the Court Square Theatre. Lake Massasoit and a wonderful moon beckoned to others, who answered the call and spent the evening paddling on “the far shining waters.” Sunday found most of the guests homeward bound carrying with them memories of one of the best social affairs Springfield College has ever witnessed. SJ3 1926 One hundred fifty-five One hundred fifty-six CLASS OF ’25 §33 jHaggagott a a Commencement C OMMENCEMENT week, marking the close of the fortieth year of the College, opened Sunday, May thirty-first, with a fellowship meeting of the Student Association, lead by Dr. William G. Ballantine. On Tuesday the annual Spring Sports Reception was held in the West Gym. Alumni Day, Wednesday, June fourth, opened with a luncheon at Ger- rish Grove, after which the guests enjoyed the Water Sports program on Lake Massasoit and the baseball game between Massachusetts Aggies and Springfield. The Strawberry Festival at the close of the day on the banks of Lake Massasoit, a pageant of King Philip’s War written by Professor Hyde and staged by the Class of 1927, and the canoe carnival in the even- ing with many new ideas and novel decorations, formed a fitting close to a very successful Alumni Day. The Pageant was something new to most of the Alumni, but the Canoe Carnival brought many happy memories of the days when they too were at Springfield. Commencement Day began with an Alumni Breakfast and business meeting in Woods Hall, followed by a Memorial Service. Various classes held reunions during the day, with Alumni Headquarters in the Dormitory, where they were registered, and old acquaintances renewed. The regular Class Day Exercises were held at 10.30 in the East Gymnasium. The an- nual meeting of Kappa Delta Pi, the Springfield Honor Society, together with a Luncheon was held at the Nayasset Club. Philip W. Wilson, M. A., of England, delivered the Commencement ad- dress on “The Call of the Century,” at the graduating exercises in the afternoon. This was followed by the granting of degrees and the presen- tation of diplomas. Following this President and Mrs. Doggett enter- tained the alumni, members of the graduating class and their guests at a reception. The Commencement dinner marked the final event of the week. This was held in the West Gymnasium with August E. Metzdorf, M. D. E., ’05, as toastmaster. It was the occasion of a speech by Dr. George L. Meylan on the thirty years of service of Dr. J. H. McCurdy. Letters of congrat- ulation were read and a gift presented to Dr. McCurdy in appreciation of his services. Mr. Herbert L. Pratt, Chairman of the Expansion and Endowment Fund, reported the completion of the $2,500,000.00 fund, which assures the carrying out in the near future of plans for the development of a greater Springfield.

SMITH The Student Association President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer. Abner A. Hagberg Kenneth A. Williams Charles D. Vibberts Gerald B. Grinnell Graduate Secretary Tucker P. Smith T HE past year in the history of the Student Association has been a busy one indeed. The Officers, inspired with the idea of making ' Spring-field a better Springfield, have produced many new features. Among these were the formation of a college band, the posting of a sched- ule of all events on campus for the week, the formation of a World Court Committee, the formation of a Cabinet-Faculty Relations Committee, send- ing of delegates to the World Court Conference at Amherst College, enter- taining the Connecticut Valley Conference and the formation of an Advis- ory Council composed of members of the Faculty and the Student Body. Important as all these were, perhaps the Cabinet-Faculty Relations Committee and the Connecticut Valley Conference were the most im- portant. The formation of the Faculty-Cabinet Committee gave the rep- resentatives of both Student Association and Faculty a chance to get to- gether and get the viewpoint of the ‘enemy,’ as it were. It has proved most helpful. The Connecticut Valley Conference which was held on campus and which drew delegates from almost every college in the Valley, did a lot in presenting Springfield to the outside world. Mr. Tucker P. Smith, in his first year as Graduate Secretary, has been a great help to the Cabinet because of his clear thinking, his practical bus- iness relationships and his earnest cooperation. In passing on the reins of the Student Association to the new Cabinet we wish to remind them, that only thru the heartiest cooperation with Faculty and Students alike will the Student Association function to its best ability.

It is a judicial and legislative body, seeking to act as an intermediary body between faculty and students in the matters of common interest, and is organically connected with the Student Association. It is the duty of this body to pass judgment on all cases of breach of discipline or conduct out of harmony with the ideals of Springfield College. It legislates new standards of conduct and formulates new rulings neces- sary for the best interests of all concerned. In addition to the work in the Senate Chamber, the individual mem- bers are active in doing personal work among the students in cases where advice is needed. The Senate consists of five members of the Senior and four of the Junior classes. Its officers are President, Vice President and Secretary. The President of the Senate is a member of the Student Association Cab- inet. This body works for the best interests of the College and the Student. One hundred sixty-four and Freshmen 10%.

In each case introductory letters are sent out explaining the purpose of the club and offering its services. Upon arrival in Springfield each newcomer, whether visitor or student, receives every convenience and courtesy the club can command and his stay made as pleasant, comfortable, and enlightening as possible.

Ratcliffe U P until 1916 there was no organized Masonic Club in school, but just a group of fellows that met for purely social reasons. As the num- ber of Masons increased at the school, it was felt that they should organize and form a club. Accordingly in 1916 the Springfield College Masonic Club was organized in order that the Masons in school could meet fraternally and become more familiar with the principles of Masonry. In February, 1922 a Constitution was drawn up and the name of the club was changed to the Herman Hillebrandt Masonic Club of Springfield College, in loving memory of Brother Hillebrandt of the Class of 1919. At present there are thirty-nine members in the Club. Because of a Grand Lodge ruling the club was asked to change its name this year, so the Hillebrandt Square and Compass Club was adopted. During the year the Club witnessed, undoubtedly, one of the most active and prosperous years since its existence. Many Grand Lodge Masons were obtained as speakers, as well as Masonic Faculty members. Masonry was exemplified and its history related by the speakers. During the year the Club co-operated with the various organizations for the betterment of the Student Association and helped bring together a closer friendship between the Student Body and the Faculty, and the pleasant feeling existing at all times was apparent. iJJ 19 26 tde One hundred sixty-seven SS3J jHaggagott Varsity “S” Club President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer Program Chairman Publicity Chairman Henry C.

It has a membership of over seventy from the student body and thirteen in the honorary department, one of whom is Alonzo Stagg of the University of Chicago. This club has for its objects: to stimulate the betterment of athletics: to maintain a higher appreciation of the Varsity insignia; to obtain a higher educational standard among the Varsity men, and to improve the morale of the campus generally. All men who have successfully competed in a major sport and have won the right to wear the Major “S” are eligible for membership in the club. Many of the Alumnae, who have met the requirements, have joined the Varsity Club during the last year and are with us in our work for “Springfield.” One hundred sixty-nirie M The Handbook Staff Editor-in-Chief George E. Berthelon Associate Editor John C. Braun Business Manager Gaylord Smith Associate Business Managers Fritz Etter, F. E. Johnson T HE Freshman Handbook or “Bible” is one of the first books the new men become acquainted with upon their arrival on campus. This little book is an invaluable aid to those who are embarking upon their careers at old Springfield. Although the main purpose of the Hand- book is to give the Frosh an insight into the organization and functions of the Student Association, it also acquaints the new men with that vital side of college life of which he is soon to become a part. The college songs, yells, and traditions are compiled in a clear and concise manner. A working knowledge of these three things are a neces- sary part of a Freshman’s early education. Then there is listed in order of their importance the different teams, their schedules, past season’s records, with the personnel of the coaching staffs, as well as the captains and managers of the various teams. Fresh- men cap regulations, inter-class scrap rules, eligibility requirements, nor- mal credit system, curricula, and a list of the faculty members are also set forth. Beside the vital information outlined above, there is also a church directory, room directory, the honor system ruling, and a list of dependent business firms. The book is published each Fall by a staff of undergraduates and dis- tributed to the Freshmen upon payment of their Student Association fee. § One hundred seventy L I£t ®be Jfflassasott Physical Department Committee Chairman.

The Committee, co-operating with Faculty Manager of Athletics DeGroat, supervise and direct the inter- collegiate and intermural activities of the college. This past year the following sports have been sponsored: Football, Soccer, Cross Country, Basketball, Gym Team, Swimming, Wrestling, Base- ball, Tennis, and Track. By the use of a Freshman team the committee has tried to arouse interest in Hockey. Each committee member is held responsible for promoting at least one interclass sport during the year. This year great interest was shown in the newly introduced Interclass Water Polo. The committee supported Britton Boughner in the promotion of a College handball tournament, which was open to all members of the Faculty and Student Body. The Committee is allowed to incur no debts and works on a budget appropriated by the Student Association. Besides their direct athletic supervision they also appoint all managers, recommend coaches, grant emblems and awards and control the wearing of the same. 1026 One hundred seventy-one ie Jflassasott Springfield Student Editor-in-Chief Managing Editor Associate Editor Athletic Editor Alumni Editor Hurdle Editor J.

Published originally in connection with the Association Seminary in 1909, it has grown from a monthly paper, first published in 1910, to a weekly in 1916 and finally to the pres- ent enlarged paper, the first edition of which went to press in September, 1922. “Editors may come and editors may go” but each hands down some- thing to his successor. This, in short, is the secret of the Student’s growth. The 1925-6 staff, on coming into office, entered under what were per- haps more favorable conditions than any previous group had experienced. Previous editors and their staffs had successfully put the Student through its early stages of incubation, early infancy and adolescence. The paper was, for the first time, sound financially, well equipped, and well supported by students, faculty and alumni. The problem presented was not one of further expansion ; it was one of future policy. What is the purpose of a college paper? The Student, together with numerous other college papers, faced this question. Should the Student act as a “glorified bulletin board” recording merely the activities deserv- ing publicity? Should its editorial policy be one of open discussion of student problems, or one of presenting only “our best face to the outside world ?” Should the Student confine its news and editorials to the narrow limits of our own campus ; or should it reflect the college and contemporary problems of the outside world? The Student has attempted to answer these questions through its editorial policy during the past year. Primarily the purpose of a college paper should be: to truthfully reflect the sentiment of the student body; to accurately report college activities; to support student activities; and to openly discuss student problems. This the Student has tried faithfully to do. In addition, it has tried to give to the students accurate informa- tion regarding activities and problems of other colleges, as well as outside news in which students are interested. Naturally, such a policy has not met with the hearty approval of everyone, but, on the whole, the Student has been favorably received. Progress has been made in organization, and as the new staff goes into office, two new offices will have been instituted, that of News Editor and that of Exchange Editor. Several six-page editions of the Student have been put out during the past term, including the special colored football supplement. While justly proud of this accomplishment, the staff realizes that an increase in the size of the Student is impossible at this time. Future progress of the Student will be along the lines of increased efficiency in the handling of news and a continued growth of influence upon student life.

Parkhurst, ’27 W OODS Hall Committee is composed of five members, including a chairman. They are elected by the Student Body at the general elections of the Student Association held the last week of every winter term. This committee has under its supervision the Woods Hall building, which contains the dining hall, social hall, student store, the Gen- eral Secretary’s office, College Post Office, and other Student Association offices. The supervision, upkeep and repairs of the building, as well as the granting of any special privileges within this building is attended to by various committee members. The Social Hall is often used for discussion groups, socials, or for holding small dances, and then too, sometimes as the meeting place for outside organizations visiting the campus. From applications filed at the close of every term, a selection of men is made who act as waiters and dishwashers for the following term. At the close of the winter term this committee selects from members of the Junior Class, who have previously filed applications, three men as Head- waiter, Assistant Headwaiter, and Head Dishwasher for the next year. These men begin in this capacity May 1st, and continue until May 1st of the following year. £133 1926 (xes One hundred seventy-four X R3 ®be jWaggasott cm Dramatic Committee Chairman H. E. Brockner T HROUGH co-operation with the regular course in Dramatics, the Dramatic Committee of the Student Association aims to be of assist- ance in the education of the students. Development of students in the art of self expression and stage craft is one of the major concerns of the Committee. Here in Springfield where there is so much time spent in technical work and with teams the aesthetic side of the students’ nature needs nour- ishment if successful leaders are to be developed. The Dramatic Com- mittee attempts to meet this need thru its activities. In its choice of plays the Committee first considers the educational value of the play. Only those plays which have a real lasting contribu- tion to make are considered. Thus the choice of a play is rendered ex- tremely difficult because of the scarcity of appropriate plays that can be produced with the resources at hand. The Dramatic Committee also at- tempts to select plays that will call forth really meritorious effort on the part of the players. The two stellar aesthetic attractions of the College Year are now under the direction of the Dramatic Committee, the annual production which takes place during the winter term and the Canoe Carnival which occurs in the Spring Term. The Canoe Carnival was placed under the direction of the Dramatic Committee this year. lose cpg One hundred seventy-five Senior Cheer Leader G. B. Grinnell P SYCHOLOGY is playing a heavier role every day in practically every field or study that one can mention. Increasingly is this true with cheering. It is generally recognized after connection with Spring- field cheering sections that the problems of the cheer leaders in Springfield are absolutely different than those in the majority of institutions. At other institutions the students major in general and specialized courses and the majority of these students know very little, if anything, about the fine points of the games which they go to see. Springfield is faced with the situation which makes it very difficult for the cheer leaders to get the students to forget that they are coaches, critics, officials and even side line players, long enough to be stirred by the excitement of the game and cheer with enthusiasm that is necessary to sway the team when it is at the critical points of depression and let-up. Therefore, the cheer leaders must be exceptionally apt in their job. Under the direction of Senior Cheer Leader Grinnell, the others worked hard and faithfully and deserve hearty and spirited co-operation for the coming schedules. Kern, Pease, Rowe, Burton, and Pendleton will form the nucleus for next year’s leaders, and it is expected that the cheer- ing will be on a higher plane than ever before, thus improving the fighting spirit which is so characteristic of all Springfield’s Teams. Cheer Leaders £ ®Ij e jWassiagoit G. One hundred seventy-six The Band Leader R. Kern D URING the past few years the need for a college band was very much in evidence through the lack of music at football games, ral- lies, etc. The last college year found this need remedied by one of the best college bands in New England. Under the leadership of “Frenchy” Kern, a cheerleader and member of the Junior Class, the musicians of the college were gathered together and the interest soon became manifested through the excellent work which they showed. The twenty-five members, representing the four classes of the school, soon became well organized and the entire student body gave them loyal support. Their presence was first felt at the initial football game of the season as the various college airs were played, thus stimulating the neces- sary spirit among the loyal rooters of the Red and White. At the numerous football rallies, the band was also an inspiration and kept the spirit of the student body at its highest point. As is generally well known, it is the cheering section of a college that helps to win many contests. In view of the fact that the Red and White footballers exper- ienced one of the most successful seasons in the history of Springfield Col- lege it is not out of place to give a great deal of the credit to the Red and White Band, which was such a great inspiration and help to the cheering section. One hundred seventy-seven Weidensall Society OFFICERS President E. W. Heartz Vice-President E. T. Manley Secretary II. 0. Pease Treasurer R. Crowell E LEVEN years ago a group of students enrolled in the County Work Course, and, interested in its problems, formed a society, giving it the name of Weidensall, as a tribute of honor to Uncle Robert Weid- ensall, a pioneer in county work. The purpose of the society was to be- come better acquainted with the County Work problems, and their pro- grams were arranged with this aim in view. In 1923 a second purpose was added. It was to give more thought to the cultural and literary development of the individual. With these pur- poses before her, Weidensall has progressed and is still progressing. The years 1925-26 find Weidensall forging to the front in literary, speaking and editorial work. H. 0. Pease, a member of Weidensall So- ciety, took first place in the Literary Prize Speaking Contest held in com- petition with the other Societies on Campus. Too much praise cannot be given Mrs. Doggett who is finishing her third year as critic of this Society. With the fine selection of programs, good fellowship and hearty co- operation of the members, Weidensall closes one of its most successful years. M § s 0 v % 1026 One hundred seventy-eitrht Wje Jffla sasoit d Philomatheon Literary Society President Secretary Treasurer H. A. Sanderson L. E. May, Jr. T. M. Wenner T HE Philomathean Literary Society has undergone a transformation in its membership and policy during the year. Many new faces have been admitted into the fold, with the result the “Philo” expe- rienced a slight attack of “growing pains.” A year ago, although the smallest Literary Society on campus, “Philo” won the Vezenia Editorial Contest Cup. At the beginning of the fall term this organization was functioning with but four members of the previous year back in college. New mem- bers were sought, and due to the influx of this new blood the society is steadily re-establishing itself, thus being assured of development and progress in the future. The Philomathean Society has two fundamental purposes as its foundation. First, to promote and train its members in public speaking and literary endeavor; and second, to promote a social atmosphere that will bind the members together in a closer understanding and fellowship. The society holds its meetings every Monday evening with a varied program. The critic is Mr. Tucker Smith, Secretary of the Student Asso- ciation, an apt student of industrial and religious problems of the day. The officers of the society are elected at the beginning of each college term, and hold office for that term only. One hundred seventy-nine M _ ®fje Jlasisiasoit t$s McKinley Literary Society President De Verne L. Archer Vice-President W. D. West Secretary H. A. Robbins Treasurer H. T. Hope T HE McKinley Literary Society is composed of twenty-eight active members and four honorary members. It is one of the oldest societies on the campus, and has been very active this year. Ten of the members are Seniors who will graduate, leaving a neucleus of eighteen men to carry on the work next year. The society has two aims. The first is to afford its members the opportunity to increase their ability in public speaking, and in correct use of the English language. The second aim is to bring before the mem- bers current works in physical and general education. The society has had as their critic this past year Reverend Elmer R. Colcord, who has been extremely helpful in this capacity because of his experience in the pulpit and elsewhere. The society is greatly indebted to him for his valuable service. We look to the members who are underclassmen to carry along the aims and ideals of McKinley throughout the coming year. One hundred eighty ■W AA W� Kappa Delta Pi Abell, E. E. Duffy, E. F.

Judd T O but a few go the distinguished honors of being elected to the Kappa Delta Pi Honor Society. This society was organized at Springfield College in the year 1915. To qualify for membership in the society, a senior must have a high scholastic rating, must have distinguished him- self as a Christian gentleman, and have a 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 Char- acter, Capacity, and Culture respectively. 1020 One hundred eitfhty-one Deputation Manager Ellis Abell A NEW Deputation program was inaugurated this year by Ellis Abell, Deputation Manager, and Tucker P. Smith, General Secretary of the Student Association, the aim being to give experience to the largest number of men possible. Five teams were organized at the beginning of the college year, each team consisting of eight men and two alternates. One team was composed wholly of County men and under L. E. Norrie, did considerable county work. One man on each team was a foreign student. Teams captained by H. C. Hamlin and F. S. Field made the largest number of trips. Regular three day week-end programs were carried out in Otis, Feed- ing Hills, Granville and Chicopee, Mass., and in Hazardville and Somers, Conn. Besides this, Sunday services were conducted in Emanuel Congre- gational and Asbury M. E. Churches. Mr. Smith and Mr. Yacoub Fam spoke to three outlying community churches on one Sunday. The various programs have aimed toward leaving something lasting with the communities visited, both in religious thought, and in social recre- ation and games. An effort has been made to stimulate individual think- ing, especially among the young people who have been helped with their many problems. Other programs have included Father and Son Banquets, Boys’ Conferences and Children’s Parties, while nearly all have included Young People’s Socials, the conducting of Church Services, and either an indoor or outdoor recreation period for the boys of the community. § 1020 One hundred eighty-two Cosmopolitan Club OFFICERS President James A.
