Let each noble deed in our mem’ry be dwelling, Where victory has crowned us on track, held, or floor ; Then our voices we raise in a glad chorus, swelling, To thee, dear old Springfield, our anthems we pour. Chorus : For old Springfield, for old Springfield, We’ll score away And win the day For Springfield. For there is where one learns to play the game, And there is where one learns to win the same ; The very-best place on earth is she, With a ’rah, ’rah, ’rah, ’rah, ’rah, Springfield, Springfield, Springfield! For old Springfield, for old Springfield, We’ll score away And win the day For Springfield. 1 ' .jiJ ■ k Isfc mm Hi Ms . r- L a LAURENCE L. DOGGETT, Ph.D., M.H., D.D.

JOHNSON President LENOX B. PUTNAM Ice-President CLAYTON H. FOLLETT Secretary RAYMOND A. HOLT Treasurer When the Class of 1928 assumed formation on the college commons in the fall of 1924, little did those assembled — nor any one else — know what a record-making class it would be during its four-year tenture. From its embryonic days to the present, it has proved in many ways, to be the greatest in the history of Springfield College. No class before it, nor since, has won such laurels As freshmen, the class-members early distinguished them- selves. First, they constructed a new athletic field, which they dedicated to Doctor William B. Kirkham. In the class scraps, they showed themselves superior to the sophomores by winning the flag rush and the cane rush. Although they were defeated in the rope-pull, they achieved the fame of being the only freshman class ever to defeat a sophomore class in the cane rush. Finally, freshman-camp week terminated the year, and the class learned the signifi- cance of the traditional cry of “one man, two buckets”. The sophomore year was one of success equal to that of the previous } ' ear. Though the rope-pull team again lost LENOX B. PUTNAM [ 37 ] its contest, the victories of the freshman year were repeated in the two other fights. In the following spring, a few of the daring mem- bers of the class successfully raided the freshman camp in Gerrish Grove and established the precedent of routing the freshmen on their own soil. CLAYTON H. FOLLETT The duties 0 f U p pe r classmen RAYMOND A. HOLT presented no fears. In student government, the class has accomplished much; many reforms are to be credited to it. In athletics, it has served just as well, — or perhaps better. No other class has yet won the interclass-sport championship for three con- secutive years, as has this class. And all signs point to the possibility of its winning the title a fourth year. For this class, four years have nearly completed themselves; commencement is only a month hence. More quickly than it will be realized, the last day of Springfield life will dawn, and the challenge to carry that ever-winning spirit of Twenty-Eight into the world of service will be upon every graduate. 1 38 ] MARIANO ALPHONSO, B.P.E.

EDWARDS ROBERT B. EDWARDS President RUSSELL J. KNAUSS Vice-President PAUL C. HARTMAN Secretary HARRISON B. MOSHER Treasurer Never before the appearance of this class in September of 1925 had any freshmen attracted such rapid notice. It must be admitted, though, that this attraction was not caused by any innate quality of the men ; rather was it the result of upper-class complot. The widespread notoriety was natural, nevertheless, for they were the first freshmen to appear in the streets of Springfield with the now-famous, compulsory, green neck- ware. Because of the almost-perfect efficiency of the initiation organization, and due to the imperialistic predominance of the sophomores, the Class of Twenty-Nine in the first few months of its freshman year became nearly dejected, — so ex- acting were the demands of its liege. Notwithstanding these ominous forebodings, its rope-pull team dragged the sopho- mores to a wet defeat in Lake Massasoit. Its cane-rush teams fought valiently and lost to the sophomores only after a most-severe battle. The class nearly achieved victory in the flag rush ; however, with only two minutes remaining to fight, the sophomores captured the flag through the use of a veteran ruse - RUSSELL J. KNAUSS 1 69 J All the scraps of the second year were victories for Twenty-Nine. The rope pull developed to be the easiest honor of all. In the flag rush, one of the agile men detached the freshman flag without allow- ing so much as three minutes of actual combat, and the last fight the freshmen sacrificed by failing PAUL C. HARTMAN t0 appear. HARRISON B. MOSHER The junior year has been en- tirely successful. Legislative duties have been of great importance, and they have been the primary concern of each student. All teams have received their quota-plus of junior athletes. Every one understands the responsibilities and conduct of upper- class status, and the whole class is prepared to accept the sceptre of seniority. Junior Directory Adams, Charles T Roslindale, Mass.

HOFFMAN FRANCIS S. HOFFMAN President ARTHUR E. LARKIN Vice-President WILLIAM A. LEE Secretary DON D. CORNELL Treasurer The Class of Thirty does not boast of its freshman battles, for all of them were losses. However, it holds the distinction of being the class to innovate Springfield Freshmen Week. These men gathered at college one week before the upper classmen and enjoyed, to say the least, seven days of peace before the hardened, cruel, vindictive sophomores appeared to harass them. Organization was entirely lacking during the first year; there was no sign of it until the last week of the spring semester, at which time the whole class migrated to freshman camp. There they found spirit, and after capturing a few upper classmen, — unto whom they administered torture — every man discovered the secret of cooperation. The camp was patrolled every minute of the night, and not even a ground mole could burrow past the guards without being detected. This week of common companionship caused the class enthusiasm to reach its ultimatum. As a result of camp, the men returned this year, as soph- omores, determined to avenge their freshman-year failings by ARTHUR E. LARKIN [ 73 ] O humiliating the Class of Thirty- ( )ne to the extent of depravity. This they nearly did, for they won ever}’ battle gloriously — but by no x. JL means easily.

AMANN Secretary ARTHUR DANIELS Treasurer Like every new group of men that enter, the present freshman class convinced themselves last fall that their appearance was the harbinger of a perfect and superior Springfield. Also, like all others, these men were permitted to dwell in ethereal thought for a week or so ; then, however, the iron hand of the sophomores fell ! The freshmen discovered that every pill is bitter, regardless of the sweetness of the first taste. The vassalage of the Class of Thirty-One consisted of the usual belittling burlesques. The monitors of the soph- omores slighted no one; every freshman received his oppor- tunity to prove Darwin’s theory through some idiotic, monkey-like antic. Nevertheless, the initiation ceremony proved to be somewhat beneath the expectations of the men of the upper classes. The current opinion expressed itself to the effect that Springfield tradition had been violated in allowing the new men to escape with so-little punishment. If the initiatory revels were so markededly disappoint- ing, the under-class combats were just as notable contrarily. Each of the three scraps was a hard-fought contest. Class SAMUEL E SCHNEIDER [ 77 ] spirit and Jingoism reached a peak during the days immediately pre- ceding each fight, and the fresh- men felt the superior generalship of the sophomores to the extent of a midnight assault in the Westfield Christian Association building, — and an early-morning public ap- pearance in their dishabille. No WILLIAM X. AMAXX apologies need be made for an ah- ARTHUR DAXIELS sence of unusual entertainment in these events, for without a doubt, they were the best ever. Not only has the Class of Thirty-One proved its qualities in these activities, but it has satisfied the faculty that it possesses a substantial amount of scholarship. It has been accepted as a class worthy of being at Springfield, and there is no fear that it will fail to bring honor to itself in the close future. Freshman Directory Allen, Aldren G. ..

SMITH HOLLIS A. SANDERSON President TUCKER P. SMITH General-Scc’y. CLARENCE E. BITTNER Vice-Pres. J. H. WALLACE YOUNG Secretary TED BURTON Treasurer Existing as the only all-inclusive organization on campus, the Student Association is the supervising factor of Springfield College life. Membership is not compulsory, but only members are permitted to participate in campus activities, — whether the act- ivity be athletic or social. Students that are members are given all the beneiits that are included in a regular Young M ens Christian Association membership ; they are entitled to the use of Association buildings throughout the country. In conjunction with student associations of other colleges, the Springfield College Association takes part in many student conferences each year, and often it plays host to bodies of representatives from schools and colleges who use the campus and buildings for research and educational purposes. During the past year, it has delegated students to attend conferences at Northfield Seminary and at several local colleges. Also, it has entertained a convention of M assachusetts honorary high school students. Its outstanding achievements of the year on campus are the renovation of the Woods Hall dining facilities and the reorganization of the band, orchestra, glee club, quartette and brass quartette. Many other noteworthy changes have been made in athletic and legislative administration, and more improvements are in the offing. [ 81 ] Knauss, Ruggles, T. F. Holloway, I.

This body constitutes the highest court on campus; it serves in all matters of dis- pute between the faculty and the student body, and between or among student organ- izations. The power to employ and to discharge all paid personnel of the Student Association, to conduct investigation concerning illegal administration of office by any student officer, and to make recommendation of verdict remain within the jurisdiction of this council.

Treasurer, and ten committee chairmen, — all of whom are elected by the members of the Association each year. All of the activities of the Student Association are controlled by these men, and through the cooperation of the various departments, the greatest-possible amount of efficiency is maintained. Weekly business meetings are held, and each department is managed with perfect, business-like procedures. The General Secretary is permitted to be present at all meetings; however, he possesses no right of vote.

Ruggi.es Secretary The Senate, an official group through which the system of self-government of the student body of the college is administered, was organized some nineteen years ago, and since then it has been the intermediary of the faculty and the students in matters of collegiate importance. Although its chief function is that of judiciary affairs, it is also concerned with problems of legislature. It provides standards of conduct for all men on campus. It is the duty of the Senate to pass judgment on all cases of disciplinary breach or conduct out of harmony with the ideals and traditions of the college. The work of the Senate is not limited to its chambers, but it extends to action in helping students in personal problems. Five seniors and four juniors compose the membership of this organ, and they are elected annually in the winter elections by the entire student enrollment.

Forty per centum of this representation are seniors; thirty per centum, juniors; twenty per centum, sophomores, and ten per centum, fresh- men. These men negotiate the legislative proceedings of the Student Association, and their meetings have supplanted the original meetings of the entire Student body. Wh ile every member of the Association may attend meetings, only the congressmen are allowed the right of suffrage. The Congress is the approving committee to the Cabinet. It receives recommen- dations and petitions from the members of the Student Association, and its consent is necessary for a change in business or administration methods. The presiding office r is the President of the Student Association. [ 85 ] Lee, E. H. Tuttle, Knowles Knauss, Bittner Membership Committee Russell J. Knauss Chairman Ever} ' year the task of collecting the dues of the Student Association is placed upon the members of the Membership Committee. This committee is, in reality, the finance committee of the Association, and through it pass the bulk of the money that makes possible the numerous activities and attractions of Springfield College life. De- pending upon the efficiency of this group in its collection faculties are many of the factors of the participation of the college in intercollegiate student relationships. In order to facilitate financial obligations of the Massasoit Staff, the Mem- bership Committee includes in its work the collection of the year-book fees from every member of the Student Association. This action enables the Massasoit Staff to begin its work with a substantial sum of money. | 86 1 Shinn, Stacy, Dow Absentee : Ostberg Publicity Committee Roy G. Stacy Manager A year ago, through the efforts of Mr. DeGroat, Faculty Manager of Athletics, and Mr. V. N. Wall of the Springfield Union, the Publicity Committee (Press Club) of Springfield College received official recognition by all colleges and newspapers of the country. The primary purpose of this club is to inform the different parts of the country of the activities of the Springfield College scholastic and athletic organizations and teams. The committee consists of a manager and three assistants who are appointed each year by the Physical Department Committee. These men prepare news articles in folio form and send them to newspapers and publishing companies. Through the work of this group, the Springfield College activities and sports are receiving their proper amount of collegiate and public notice. 1S7] Gustafson, Wagner, E. Williamson, R. J. Smith Hammond, Clogston, Bollier Physical Department Committee Roy B. Clogston Chairman In Springfield College, the Physical Department Committee corresponds to the athletic councils of other colleges. It is composed of a chairman and six members, all of whom are elected by the student body in the winter elections. This committee co- operates with the Faculty Manager of Athletics in supervising all intramural and inter- collegiate athletic activities. The power to appoint managers of all teams, recommend the employment of coaches, and grant and control the wearing of emblems lies within the jurisdiction of this body. In joi nt action with the faculty, the members of this committee determine the eligibility of men who wish to participate in any athletic programme. I 88 I Hoar, Wehrle, Edwards, P. C. Hartman, Lee Woods Hall Committee Robert B. Edwards Chairman Four members and a chairman constitute the personnel of the Woods Hall Com- mittee; they are, like most Springfield committeemen, elected to their office by student vote in the winter elections. The supervision of the Woods Hall building, the dining hall, the Student Association offices, and the social hall is the direct duty of this group. With the installation of the cafeteria this year, the committee has encountered many new problems. The financial undertakings necessary have reached a greater magnitude, for now, more full-time employees are used, and more students are served. The cafeteria remains open continuously from six-thirty each morning until seven each evening, — with slight variations on Saturday and Sunday ; whereas, under the previous system, the dining hall operated for only a limited period at each meal hour. Consequently, besides being a more business-like establishment, the cafeteria is a more- serviceable one. The responsibility for this whole procedure is entrusted to the men of the Woods Hall Committee. [ 89 ] Ludlow, Yates, Pendleton, Stebbins, Bittner, Rath Student Cooperative Store Committee Raymond A. Yates Chairman Another committee whose personnel is elected in the regular elections is the Student Cooperative Store Committee; it, also, like the Woods Hall Committee, is subjected to large financial considerations. Without a doubt, this committee is the most-important business bureau of the entire Student Association. The progress that it has shown during the past year in constructing a larger sales-room is signal evidence of its importance. This committee every year appoints a manager, an assistant manager, and a clerk who operate the store. Every day of the week, except Sunday, the store is open for business during certain convenient hours, and the daily mail delivery is distributed at the store office. Practically every student necessity is available, and through its oper- ating on a cost-plus basis, the college men can purchase innumerable articles at much- reduced prices. 1 90 J O. K. Baker, T. P. Smith, T. Burton F. H. Barnes, W. B. Kirkham Freshman Week Committee Doctor W. B. Kirkham Director During the third week of September, 1926, the Freshman Week Committee made its first attempt to establish another worth-while practice in Springfield C ollege routine. At that time, the committeemen received the freshmen of the Class of 1930 one week before the official opening of college courses. For a whole week, the new men were entertained and advised, so that they were well acquainted with the traditions and practices of Springfield men even before the arrival of the sophomores and upper classmen. So salutory were the results of the first trial of this committee that it was at once ordained to be an official procedure of the college. Now, all freshmen must report one week before the other students and submit themselves to a programme of training and instruction under the tutelage of this committee. l he adoption of this item on the college schedule is another step toward a higher rating in collegiate circles. [ 91 ] Bittner, Sanderson European Camp and Travel Scholarships Each year, the Student Association sends two juniors to European countries in the interests of Christian service. Through the cooperation of the college students, friends of the college in Springfield, and the International Young Mens Christian Association Committee, the Student Association is able to provide enough funds to make possible a trip of three-month duration for each of the elected delegates. The men attend camps in various countries of Europe and teach American methods of camping and, at the same time, study the social and physical problems of the peoples with whom they are living. A joint committee of faculty, students, and college friends select the men for the scholarship, using for a basis of choice the social and scholastic qualities, the camping experience, and the linguistic abilities of the applicants. This year Clarence E. Bittner spent his summer in a Polish Christian Association camp near Krakow, Poland ; and Hollis A. Sanderson stayed in the Young Mens Christian Association camp at Saloniki, Greece. It is expected that the representatives this coming summer will visit camps in the British Isles and Bulgaria, respectively. [ 92 ] O. K. Baker, T. P. Smith, R. L. Yocom, W. F. Kestner ISlorthfield Conference Northfield is known the world over for its student conferences. Forty-one years ago, Dwight L. Moody, founder of Northfield Seminary and Mount Hermon School, called the first conference of collge student associations. That meeting was so success- ful and beneficial that it was decided to hold such a gathering each year, the purpose of which would be to consider the different problems of the world from the standpoint of student vision. Last June, the conference was held during the week of the fiftieth anniversary of the establish ment of the Young Mens Christian Association Student Department. The great number of representatives that appeared at this convention is testimony of the importance and growth of the student-Christian movement during the intervening years. Springfield College sent the men pictured above, and these men carried official vote and sanction in every debate and discussion. Among the most-significant topics that were placed before the students were the following: — God, immortality, race equality, international relations, foreign policies of the different countries, and problems of industry. After seven days of discussion on subjects like these, the Springfield delegates returned with much to report. [ 93 ] C. F. Hall, McConnell, Petherbridge, Dane, Isherwood, Cutler P. C. Hartman, V. L.

Dow Associate Manager There is nothing that facilitates the acclimation of the freshmen on the campus of their new place of learning more quickly than the Freshman Handbook . 1 hi imanimate consort, in the form of a small, red, leather-bound volume — more commonly known as the “Freshman Bible” — proves to be a greater friend than most upper class- men. Especially is this true during the few weeks of the initiatory ceremonies and scraps. In this book, the freshmen can easily find information concerning that which they might expect of the college, and, also, that which the college will expect of them. The book expatiates the traditions, the freshman regulations, the faculty, and the interclass scraps and athletics; it contains official cheers and songs, social and athletic personnel, legislative and judicial organizations and methods, and the Alma Mater. Almost every question that a person unacquainted with Springfield College might ask can be answered after consulting this publication. A staff of four men appointed by the Literary Committee publish the handbook each year, and every student receives one on payment of the Student Association fee. 1 95 J T. F. Holloway, R. Nelson, V.

WINTERS President With an early start, good direction, renewed interest, and a wealth of material, an exceptionally fine club has taken shape this year. Its presence on campus is indeed an excellent attribute to student society. Chief among the innovations is the addition of an orchestra under the supervision of W. B. Arvo. The present membership is larger than ever before, and it includes more talent than previous clubs have been able to provide. A double quartette, a monologist, and a performer in legerdemain afford much variety to performances. Beginning in December, the club has been active in filling many engagements. Not only has it become known in collegiate circles, but it is a reliable house-filler in public entertain- ment as well. [ 96 ] % 9 % §fl Winters, A. L. Harvey, Barnes, Sanderson Quartette Charles Winters First Tenor Frederick Barnes Baritone L. S Harvey Second Tenor Hollis Sanderson Bass Again this year, Springfield is the possessor of a unique foursome of talented singers. These men were chosen from the personnel of the Glee Club through an elimination contest in which merit of performance only constitued the basis of choice. Professors E. J. Hickox and F. S. Hyde were the judges of the contest, and that their decisions were not idle guesswork has been proved by the widespread popularity of the Quartette. Since they are integral factors in the membership of the Glee Club, they presented numbers at every one of the performances; and they also furnished entertainment in numerous campus programmes. They have been well received each time, and in their formal engagements — which appear bolow — they pleased their audien ces and reflected credit upon the college.

Last year, however, C. W. Woglum gathered together all the col- lege musicians, and from them lie selected a ten-piece novelty orchestra, — one that is capable of providing suitable music for every occasion, formal and informal. With the exception of the junior promenade, the Maroon and White Serenaders play for every campus dance. Not only in Springfield College circles are they known though, for their nights are scheduled almost entirely, whenever they are not busy with the college functions, by organizations and clubs in many cities of Massachusetts and Connecticut. Following the precedent of some of the other Springfield College organi- zations, the Maroon and White Serenaders at regular intervals render concerts through the Westinghouse Radio Broadcasting Station, WBZ, located in Springfield.

Adams, Hanners, Emmons Knaus, Fischer, Ruggles Junior Promenade Committee Carl Fischer Chairman The glory of manipulating a pleasant and enjoyable promenade is shared by the entire junior class, but the actual work is done by a committee ordinarily composed of ten men. If the affair be managed profitably, the class, as such, receives the praise; if it be a failure, these few men must bear the responsibility. The duties of this com- mittee encompass not just financial problems, but also there are the propositions of choosing the proper time, place, and surroundings that will serve to make the occasion one that will be remembered always by the fortunate upper classmen that attend. Each junior class in its turn, finances, directs, and attends a promenade in the spring of every year. Following the practice of the age-old collegiate precedent, this function is given in honor of the graduating seniors, and only members of the two upper classes may attend, plus members of the alumni and the faculty. The 1928 Junior Promenade Committee has lab ored untiringly throughout the past semester in order to assure a perfect promenade week-end. Their efforts have been fruitful, and the students and their guests are to witness a full programme from the morning of May fourth to the evening of May sixth. 1991 Absentees — Kelley, Cooper Pease, E. C. Johnson, Burton Brackman, Hopf, Lake Debating Team Tucker P. Smith Coach Debating has again become one of the important extra-cirriculum activities on campus. For years it has been disregarded, but in the past two, it has made a sensational reappearance. The advent of its return can be credited only to the work of the 1927 Debating Council, — plus the enthusiasm of the debaters on the teams of last year and this. Besides the ordinary schedule of debates, periodic meetings are held for the purpose of voice culture, study of Parliamentary Law technique, and practise in delivery. In view of the facts that just two members of the team of last year were retained this year, and that this revived forensic pastime is in only its second season, the results are gratifying. Below are the subjects of the debates and the opponents that the Springfield College Team met in contest — Resolved: That the Powers renounce their extra-territorial rights in China in the near future.

March 5 — University of Vermont March 7 — Clark University [1001 Commencement Class of Nineteen Hundred Twenty-Seven The forty-second commencement was the most notable one in the history of Springfield College. It was called by the local chapter of Springfield Alumni the “Victory Commencement’’ in commemoration of the final achievement of the new dormitory, Alumni Hall. The exercises were attended by the largest body of alumni that has ever returned to the Alma Mater on one occasion, and the Connecticut Valley Alumni Association brought testimony of their true graduate spirit when they appeared in white collegiate jumpers. On Friday afternoon, June third, the activities commenced with a water-sport carnival on Lake Massasoit, and following this, Chef Hall tendered another of his famous strawberry festivals. In the evening, members of the four classes participated in a canoe carnival. It was this exhibition, perhaps, more than anything else, that gave such singularity to the programme of the week-end. More canoes and more students entered this carnival than in any previous one held on the lake, thus making it most spectacular. As usual, Coach Judd had prepared a gymnastic presentation, and his men lent much variety to the events through their pyramid- building and electric torch-swinging. Saturday was filled with activity from early morning to evening. Alumni and students’ guests were kept busy attending the schedule, which included a breakfast for alumni in Gerrish Grove, a luncheon in West Gymnasium, a Kappa Delta Pi luncheon at the University Club in the Hotel Bridgeway, and the Annual Commencement Dinner in the West Gymnasium. On Sunday morning, at the Annual Graduation Exercises, Samuel W. Graflin addressed the graduates, and the programme was officially closed with a reception at Doctor Doggett’s home. 1 101 ] [ 102 ] m Kappa Delta Pi CLASS OF NINETEEN Frederick H. Barnes Chester A.

W allace Young Of all the various distinctions that are current to Springfield College society, there is none that is so great as the one that is available only to seniors. This honor is one that is bestowed upon students who are truly the chosen few ; it is a goal that cannot be achieved by a single virtue, but by many. Neither athletic prowess nor scholarship will alone win this coveted status, and likewise will mere popularity fail to conquer the standard. Kappa Delta Pi membership is the reward that is given to those men who have proved in their years of student tenure that they possess in un- usual degree the attributes of leadership, culture, and scholarship. The procedure of election to this, the only fraternity of the college, is intricate. First, an eligibility list is posted by the dean of the college, which designates the seniors who have maintained a high degree of scholarship during their four years of study. Then, every senior, by closed ballot, chooses from among these men the ten whom he believes to be most deserving of the election. Next, a committee of Kappa Delta Pi Alumni — most generally members of the faculty — determine which of the balloted men are suitable. This committee recommends any number it deems apropos; and finally, the entire body of faculty, through a nice system of sanction, pass final judgement. The above-explained method of election makes mistake in selection almost an im- possibility; and while some exceptional and apparently worthy person might fail to be chosen, it must remembered that the profound intricacies of the elimination detect even the most-minute failure in requisite.

Hammond Next to the Kappa Delta Pi, the Varsity Club is the highest-standing organization on campus. The members of this society are chosen from among the foremost athletes of the school, and there is nothing more coveted by Springfield sportsmen than admission into the sphere of the Varsity men. Though the club is composed of the leading college athletes, the purpose of it is a social one. Special dinners, entertainments, and dances are the majority of the programme activities; but at the same time, the clubmen aid the Student Association materially in every undertaking. In order to become a member, one must first earn a varsity letter by serving on a major- sport team, — or a non-defeated minor-sport team; then one must be voted into the club by a unanimous ballot. Through this system, the group limits itself to the best fighting men of Springfield. More than anything else, these men are responsible for the much-noted slogan, “Fighting Springfield”. 1 105J [ 106 ] Eugene V. Foster Boys Work Group Edgar M. Robinson . . . Acting Director Frederick Barnes President Wilbur Ruggles .... Pice-President Wilbur Yauch . . . Secretary-Treasurer Of the five-hundred students enrolled in the college, all except one hundred and twenty are studying physical education. These one hundred and twenty, however, are preparing for secretarial, social, or church work, and the majority of them are members of the Boys Work Course. All men in this course are eligible to admission into the Boys Work Group, in which they are given opportunity to do actual social-service work with boys. Whereas the men of the Physical Course are trained in matters of physical education, these men of the Boys Work Course are concerned chiefly with the problems of spiritual leadership of boyhood. In 1924, Doctor Eugene V. Foster came to Springfield College to undertake the responsibilities of Dean of the Boys Work Course. At that time, there were only forty students on the roster of his course. He introduced the most-modern factors of social science, and these, together with his vast experience in work with boys, enabled him to offer a valuable cirriculum. So popular did he make the Boys Work Course that in less than four years the num- ber of students nearly doubled. When he died, on Novem- ber fourth of this school year, seventy-three men were study- ing under his direct supervision. No one in Springfield College history has done so much in any course as he has done in his for the betterment of the college. Mr. Edgar M. Robinson, who has taken Doctor Foster’s place, has returned to this work from retirement. He has been active for forty years in social work, and during the past twenty years, he has been engaged in foreign service for the Young Mens Christian Association. Until perman- ent and definite details can be arranged by the faculty, he will direct the Boys Work Course and supervise the activi- ties of the Boys Work Group.

Treasurer Each year, Springfield College includes in its student body many men from foreign countries who pursue special courses in physical education and principles of work with boys. This group of men has decreased in size, though, since the founding of the sister college to Springfield in Geneva, Switzerland ; nevertheless, Springfield will always possess a number of students from foreign lands. For these men especially, and for American men that are particularly interested in foreign work and problems, the Cosmopolitan Club is maintained. Nationality, class, creed, and color do not act as barriers in this club ; every student is given a welcome. Professor Frank M. Mohler, who is the advisor of all foreign students in the school, directs the progress and the procedure of the organization. By virtue of his years of study in Europe as a Rhodes Scholar, he is excellently adapted to act as coun- sellor for these men and this club. Through his suggestion and the capable management of the club officers, the ideals and policies of foreign countries have made available to many people in the city of Springfield and its vicinity. The foreign students visit churches, clubs, and lodges every week, in groups and individually, and speak on such subjects as the problems, or the customs, or the relationships of theii countries. The activities of the Cosmopolites continue from September to June. They are first to begin in the fall and James Stratton 1 1091 last to cease in the spring. Often the Springfield Cosmopolitan Club entertains similar clubs of other colleges; perhaps the largest meeting of this type took place on campus one Saturday during last November. Besides a good number of United States citizens and Canadians, there are twenty-two men from foreign countries that hold membership in the organization.

It is composed of both faculty members and students that are Masons. Students in all ranks of Masonary are eligible to admission, and a surprisingly large number of lodges are represented. So far as possibilities permit, faculty and students in this club are placed on equal basis. Meetings and dinners are held frequently, and influencial men of the lodges in and about the city of Springfield are entertained. Men that exemplify the ideals of this great world brotherhood often address the clubmen or relate occasions of past history. Whenever a student or professor is to receive ceremonial initiation, the men participate, and occasionally they make presentations of their own before other similar organizations. Besides fostering a hearty fellowship among the college groups and between student and faculty bodies, the Hildebrandt Club sponsors the college DeMolay gatherings. | 111 ] f 1 12] Boyer, Hopf, Forslund Varney, Andrew, Sen Smith, Burns Robbins, Samson, Petherbridge, Flint, Paine, Kern, Poppendieck, Ilasley, Ottaway, Shinn Absentees! - . Arvo, Bishop, Brask, Emmons, Fiedler Springfield Band Rene J. Kern Director Eugene K. Rowe Head Cheer-Leader History of the Springifield Band reveals that the Student Association in 1916 granted one hundred and fifty dollars to Paul Samson (who has returned this year for graduate work) for the purchase of instruments. With that amount, Samson accumulated all the equipment possible and organized the first band, and while he was in the college, it progressed noticeably. After his graduation, there were a few years during which the musicians made no headway, for no one appeared capable of devoting the necessary time to direct them. Then, however, Rene Kern, with his fiery, French spirit, invaded campus and commandeered the situation. The Student Association soon placed supervision of the band in Frenchy’s charge, and he proceeded to recon- struct its neglected status. Since that time, there has been a marked improvement in the chapel-hour music; also, the sound of proper martial music at football games has heightened the fighting spirit of the teams. Besides rejuvenating the band, Kern established a brass quartette, and none but the noted Gloria I rump- eters could be compared in talent with these cornetists. No athletic rally can ever- more be complete without the sound of trumpets. The music and the pres- ence of the band at football games came to be of indis- pensable value to the welfare 1113 ] CHEER LEADERS of the Student Association. At every game, the specta- tors anxiously anticipated the time of its marching onto the field with its ever-changing novelties. By way of recipro- cation, the Student Associa- tion granted a concession suf- ficent to provide uniforms for the entire personnel, and at last, the band is beginning to occupy the position that it should. This year, Head Cheer-Leader Rowe demonstrated the possi- bilities of joint activity with the band. Through a co-operative management of the cheering selection, his cheer-leaders and Frenchv’s Fighting Band developed a brand of cheering that has heretofore been un- heard in Pratt Field. Every game brought some new feature of entertainment for the interim between the halves of the games, and the college is realizing a superior kind of spirit as a result.

J. Bircher Director John Hopf and Harold Dow Team Captains Deputation work, an idea originated by Professor Rudman, has been done by the college students for several years. Keen interest was evidenced this year, and the men were divided into two teams, one captained by Jack Hopf and the other by Harold Dow. In view of the enthusiasm that was shown, it was expected that profitable experience would ensue; however, because of heavy campus duties, the teams did not engage themselves in a very-much extended itinery. The regular practice of the teams is to visit communities and provide a three or four-day programme for a church, a community house, or a Young Mens Christian Association branch. Each member of the group is responsible for definite, scheduled events, — hence the term team is applied to the workers. Ordinarily, a team manages a week-end routine, and the duties in such case include directing a social, guiding an outing, providing an entertainment, and leading church and church-school services. It might truly be said that Springfield College deputies are extraordinary and versatile men. The purpose of the deputations is two-fold: it aims to give small towns the benefit of capable leadership and talented performers, and at the same time, it affords practical experience for students who are preparing for social service. 115 ] May, First, R.

Rothacher Director The Red Cross Life Saving Corps of Springfield College is no more than a nominal or- ganization, in that it has no officers nor does it hold it meetings. Then again, it it an individual group, inasmuch as it Junctions under the supervision of Coach Jack Rothacher, independent of the local chapter of the Red Cross. The unusually large number of men in the college corps results, unquestionably, from fact that Springfield is a physical-educational college. Each year — generally during the winter semeter — the college is host to a grand life- saving jamboree. On this occasion, national figures in the movement visit Springfield and demonstrate new theories and practices to the men of the corps. The programme continues for one week, and during that time examinations are conducted and instructions are given in ever ' ’ kind of water activity, — from elementary swimming methods to technical life-saving, fancy diving, and speed swimming. Men of this organization in the summer months teach aquatics and guard waterfronts in every part of the United States and Canada.

Gifford Captain Springfield was represented in intercollegiate track athletics by a well-balanced team. The season might not be considered as an exceptionally successful one by a comparison of the scores, for three of the five meets resulted in defeats. Despite this, the team has won honor for itself. Two of the defeats were so only by a close margin of points, and just once were the Springfield men really outclassed — in the dual contest with West Point. The most-gratifying feature, and at the same time the most unusual factor, of the season was that a large number of new and inexperienced men were transformed into skilled performers. At the close of the scheduled meets, there was such a wealth of ability and power that the outlook for the 1928 possibilities is indeed auspicious. Following the custom, first practices were held indoor, but favorable weather permitted an early transfer to Pratt Field. Even though the team had been left weak by the 1926 graduation, Coach Rothacher entered a capable team in the first meet, — with Wesleyan University. Throughout this meet Springfield lead, but an unex- pected rally in the last event gave the majority of points to the opponents. [ 119 ] In the following meets, nothing spectacular occurred, with the exception of Duffy Lewis’ success in excelling the Amherst pole-vault record on their own field. Although Gifford and McKillop broke no records on tracks of other colleges, they hold the Springfield College track records for their respective events. Outstanding performers during the season were: Captain Gifford in the one-hundred-yard and two-twenty-yard dashes; Bollier in the half-mile and mile runs; Me Killop, Nordyke, and Thompson in the weight-throwing; Crowell in the high jump; Boughner with the javelin; Jackson in the quarter-mile dash; Wilhelm, Edwards, and Whiting in the hurdles; Greene in the two-mile run ; and Fischer in the broad jump.

Rivers Captain When practice began last spring, there were three men of the 1926 squad avail- able. These three, A. M. Lewis, Rudert, and Captain Rivers, consisted the only positive material of varsity value. Nevertheless, after two weeks of training, it became evident that J. D. Quimby and Lindemann, of the 1926 freshmen team, were as worthy of varsity positions as the three veterans. Never before have two players of such skill come from the freshman team in the same vear. Of the three spring-sport teams, the tennis team was the most successful. It suffered only one loss in a programme of eight matches. Not merely was it unusual in that sense, but also it was individual in the fact that it defeated the team of Amherst College, the first Springfiield College Tennis Team to do so. The occasion of this event took place on the Amherst courts, thus making the victory more pleasing. Then, by adding the victory over Wesleyan University to that above, Springfield showed superiority over two of the “Little Three”. Coach Mohler [ 123 ] Captain Rivers The West Point Team, who inflicted the one defeat of the season, played exceptional tennis. If ever a defeat meant ignominy, it was not this one. The Holy Cross Team fell to the maroon-and-white in as honorable and close a fashion as the latter did to West Point, — after a hard and uncertain fight. The teams of Tufts College and Saint Stephen College were unquestionably inferior to the Spring- field standard of playing. The Clark University and the Worcester Institute men, however, showed dexterity equal to that of Springfield. Since Rudert, Lewis and Rivers were graduated last June, Quimby and Lindemann will bear the responsibilities of the 1928 team.

Captain The 1927 baseball season began with indoor work during the last three weeks of February, and many times in these weeks, the candidates journeyed to Amherst Col- lege and availed themselves of the huge baseball cage which that college possesses. By M arch fifth, the team was well organized, and on the following day, sixteen of the players, with Coach DeGroat, Manager Hagamen, and Assistant Manager Dow, left New York City in an automobile omnibus for a training trip through southern states. Captain Wright, Kallock, Erickson, Johnson, Davis, Digivanna, Williamson, Craig, Duncan, Steeves, Beach, Putnam, Misar, Mahnken, A. Jenkins, and James composed the players. The team traveled through New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, District of Columbia, Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina. In this invasion of the South, the Springfield Team played games with teams of the following institu- tions: — Williams and Mary College, North Carolina State College, Elton College, Washington and Lee University, Bridgewater College, University of Virginia, LTnited States Naval Academy, Georgetown University, University of Delaware, and Univer- sity of Pennsylvania. When the Springfield men returned on April third, they brought back a tally of five victories, three defeats, and three games that were not played because of unsatisfactory weather conditions. Coach DeGroat On April ninth, the regular schedule began. It consisted of thirteen games with the leading colleges of the East. Though most of them were played on the diamonds of other colleges, those games that were staged at home were victorious, with the exception of one. Erickson was perhaps the best man on the mound, but Johnson and Beach per- formed to good result in many instances. The playing of Duncan, James, and Mahn- ken were features of the season to all who witnessed any of the games. Captain Wright, Davis, Jenkins, Williamson, Misar, [ 127 ] Craig, Putnam, and Steeves were dependable in every cris is; they supported the pitchers in splendid form. Coach De Groat has justified his debut in baseball-coaching, and every follower of Springfield College baseball is anticipating an interesting and exciting season this spring.

Mohler Coach W. A. Quattlander Captain Fifteen years ago, Lacrosse was dropped from the Springfield College programme of sports, and until recently, it was not considered as an attraction. Last spring, how- ever, Professor Frank M. Mohler, who played on the Oxford University Team while he was a Rhodes scholar there, revived active interest in the sport. With a few students who had played the game in high schools, Mr. Mohler formed and coached a team and arranged a test schedule for the season. The success of the undertaking was so evident that the Physical Department Committee at once recognized its potentiali- ties and granted it a regular place in the college athletics. The games last spring were so well played that Coach Mohler can feel reasonably sure of a splendid appearance in team personnel this year. Thirteen of his original followers are available for the 1928 team, and many new men are anxious to be given trial. The schedule for this spring will include games with the leading university and college teams of the East; among them will be the teams of Yale, Harvard, Syracuse, Brown, Colgate, Williams, and Dartmouth.

L. Rothacher Coach R. A. Piper Manager C. A. Bollier Captain By agregating a total of one— hundred ninety-three points against its opponents’ thirty-eight in season scores, the 1927 Springfield College Rugby Football Team con- tends to be the champion smaller-college team of the East. The team is one of the few collegiate teams to survive the season undefeated. Although it has been Coach Rotchacher’s first perfect-score season, the number of veteran men who will play again next year gives promise to make repitition possible. Coach Rothacher was assisted in his work by coaches De Groat, Pennock, and Enslee. Enslee was a player on Rotchacher’s teams of 1924, 1925, and 1926; and the other two were teammates with Rothacher on the Springfield College Team of 1914. With these capable assistants, Coach Rotchacher encountered no trouble in pro- ducing a scientific, fast, and hard-playing group of football men. The most-outstanding wingman on the team — and perhaps, in the history of the college — was Captain Bollier. Early in the season he was severely injured, so severely that he spent most of the fall on crutches. Despite this great handicap, the team kept its spirit, and whenever Chet was able to participate in any contest, his men supported him with grim tenacity. The other wingmen of exceptional note were Craig, Yates, Bardo, Sharkey, and Hammond. Coach Rothacher [ 133 ] Captain Bollier Every position was much contested ; there was no lack of able men anywhere. In attempting to rate the players, only a general statement can be made, — in order to do justice to the characteristic superiority of all the men. Duncan was high-point man of the season, and C. Davis won second honor by accumulating points only slightly below the score of Duncan. Miller, Limbaugh, Holt, and Oliver deserve a good deal of credit for their work in the centre position. Williamson, Wilhelm, Rood, C. Davis, Nordyke, Duncan, Steeves, Bell, Atlin, Lindemann, Crowell, and Johnson proved to be back-field men of brilliancy far more than usual. Clogston, Whiting, Jenkins, Cunnigham, and Hendricks were always dependable in their tackle positions; and Wehrle, McLane, Wolynec, Clark, and Tozier made splendid records as guards.

Thompson Manager Coach R. J. Smith . . . Captain The maroon-and-white soccer players did not succeed in retaining the Champion- ship of the New England colleges, but they did, nevertheless, present an excellent account of themselves at the end of the season. In a series of eight games, they amassed at total of twenty-three points against their opponents’ fifteen, and the final chart of the season resulted in a record of five victories, two defeats, and one tie-score game. Coach Affleck was able to begin the season with very-promising conditions, for seven veterans of the 1926 New England Championship Team were with him. How- ever, a difficult problem confronted him ; — that of coordinating a new forward line with a defensive combination composed of experienced men. The solution, though, was as easy as the problem was hard ; for the coach filled his vacant positions with men who played on the junior-varsity and freshman teams of the previous year. Before the team had played, its third game, the adjustment of the new and old players had been com- pleted, and every man on the squad understood his job as though he were a champion. The victories, without a doubt, were made possible by the nearly perfect defense of the backfield and the splendid pass-work of the forward lineman. p % j Coach Affleck [ 137 ] Captain Smith Every man played exceptionally well, but the reliable work of Captain R. J. Smith in his center half-back position was the source of complete satisfaction to all, — his reliability and efficiency were unparalleled. Hebei, Stillman, R. A. Smith, Dochat, Hirzler, Springer, and V. L. Booker provided excellent supporting quali- ties. James at the goal, and Southard, Choy, Zwick, Marker, Chapin, Peabody, Markward, and Wenner on the forward line constituted an aggregation of attackers that were decidely pug- nacious in every contest. The team lost a valuable man early in the season, when Elerin, who made such a good record for himself on the freshman team of 1926, was disabled by receiving a fracture of the leg. It is to be hoped that this injury will not prevent his further services, for his type of playing is that of a true Springfieldonion.

Somerville Manager J. L. Nunan Captain Coach Judd had the misfortune this year of realizing the return of only three men of the 1926 season; nevertheless, these men — Nunan, Greene, and Young — were the basis of splendid team. With the selection of Nunan to fill the vacant captaincy left by the resignation of Fred Holloway, the team assured itself of a substantial leadership. The only race that the Springfield Team ran on its own course was a victorious one. It was the first meet of the season, and the opponents were the men of Saint Stephens College. The following week, the team journeyed to Wesleyan University and defeated the team of that college on its course. The ambition of every one of the Springfield harriers is to beat the Yale Univer- sity Team. This year, the ambition was realized, and the first five men to finish the race — Nunan, Greene, Mitchell, Bennett, and Fielding — were awarded handsome gold medals by the Yale Athletic Association. ' . JC Coach Judd [ 143 ] Captain Nunan All hopes of winning the New England Intercollegiate Cham- pionship were sidetracked, however, when illness, poor transporta- tion — due to the general flood — and excellent opponents combined to defeat the team at Durham, where the runners of the University of New Hampshire made a perfect score, Finally, the last meet was a victory for the team of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. All except three men of the present team will return for the next season. This indicates that a successful year will undoubtedly be forthcoming. The unique managerial performance of Ken Somerville was above the grade of ordinary. No little amount of the success of the team resulted from his keen understanding of the qualifications of his office.

Southard E. H. Tuttle Captains R. J. Kern G. ScHON HEITER Pianists A. B. Smith G. Novotny This year, Coach Judd deviated from the long-established procedure of maintain- ing a varsity and a junior-varsity team, and — much to be benefit of the college — he established two equally capable varsity teams. By using the six remaining lettermen of the 1927 team, he was able, through a rigid and continuous training period of three months, to form two teams of almost-perfect similarity. This permitted twice as many exhibitions. Both teams were continually busy, and often they were engaged on iden- tical nights in cities far from each other. So successful has this bi-team arrangement been that it is reasonably certain that it will be continued each year hereafter. One team included Captain Schonheiter, Winne, Piper, Gabriel, McGrath, V eibel, Smith, Morrison, Gunkler, Struthers, Yocum, M anager Tuttle, and Pianist Novotny. The men that constitutted the personnel of the other team were Captain Kern, Yauch, Hoar, Jones, Adams, Johnson, Fisher, Grunberg, Knauss, Thompson, Knowles, Brakeman, Manager Southard, and Pianist A. B. Smith. As usual, the annual home exhibition was given on the even- ing of Washington’s Birthday. In this, the men of both teams were allowed equal opportunities to perform. Unknown to them, judges that were seated in the audience chose the best eleven men by comparing their performances, appearances, and personalities. These men, together with Coach Judd, Manager Southard, and Pianist Smith, toured Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania on a two-week trip. Following is the programme that was presented on the floor of the West Gymnasium in the home performance — Overture by orchestra; silver-wand drill by the teams; long-horse and Roman- ring stunts by the teams; Indian-club drill by the teams; heavy-ap- paratus and parallel-bar exhibition by the teams, clown act by Knauss and Fischer; bar-bell rhythms by the teams, acrobatic tumb- ling and hand-balancing by Hoar, Jones, Adams and Knauss; Dance of the Nations by the teams; legerdemain specialty by Knauss and Jones; horizontal-bar performance by the teams; Coach Judd [ 147 ] £ .i.

Because of the necessity for gymnastic pharaphernalia, most of the exhibitions off campus were given in gymnasia of Young Mens Chris- tian Association buildings. A few of them, never- theless, were held in schools that could offer the required equipment.

Bardo Undefeated Record-Holder At the beginning of the winter-sport season, Coach Rothacher gave his entire at- the swimmers provided the necessary attributes of real water abilities. From the famous team of last year, which was hailed as one of the best ever produced in McCurdy Natatorium, seven lettermen returned this year. Out of these seven, and with the second-team and the freshmen-team men of 1927, the coach developed an admirable group of mermen. M anager Closson negotiated and directed a very-attractive schedule. It consisted of six dual meets with the strongest collegiate teams in New England, and it termina- ted with participation in the New England Intercollegiate Meet. Four of the meets took place in the home pool, and so popular were they that the seating capacity of the natatorium was decidedly insufficient. Many would-be spectators were refused ad- mission even to standing room. At the end of the 1927 season, Bardo was elected to the captaincy of the 1928 team, but he declined the honor. Again this year, he was offered the unanimous vote of the men, but once more he refused. This left the team without a leader; neverthe- less, the morale was upkept. Bardo has not been defeated in the McCurdy Natato- rium during his four years of collegiate swimming, and he holds more records than any other man that has swum for Springfield. tention to the interests of the tankmen. Elis spirit, and the hard work and cooperation of Coach Rothacher [ 151 ] Ed. Bardo The fast men in the free-style events this year were Bardo, Hebei, Arvo, and Hendricks; and A. Brown and Hoffman were most prominent in the back-stroke contests. In the breast-stroke races, Nabholtz and C. E. A. Brown performed best; while Or- cutt and Dochat presented most of the spring-board merits. In Littlefield and Grogan of the freshman team of last tear, Coach Rothacher has discovered splendid free-style artists, and they will surely account for much in the next season. The team won the New England Intercollegiate Champion- ship through scoring highest in the New England Intercollegiate meet.

QuiMBY Captain Notwithstanding a schedule of only five meets, the wrestling team afforded a programme of extreme value. Immediately after the commencement of the winter semester, during the first week of January, the men began their intensive training, and Coach Pennock spared none of his abilities in producing a first-rate team. Al- though only two men of the previous team were available this year, the new candi- dates found the usual difficulties in qualifying for the varsity positions. Manager Follett exhibited veteran acumen by arranging preliminary meets with the Young Mens Christian Association teams of Hartford, Connecticut, and Holyoke, M assachusetts. These two extra-schedule experiences served to prepare the new wrestlers for the vicissitudes of an unusual season. In the light-weight class, Nicholas and Beaudry contested for the honors of repre- sentation ; and Cutler and Roggow fought continually for the decisions of the 125- pound class. Captain Quimby continued to hold his predominance in the 135-pound bouts. Despite the fact that he never wrestled before entering Springfield, he has held the New England Intercollegiate Championship for his weight for the past two years. He has not been defeated since his entrance into the field of wrestling. Coach Pennock [ 155 ] Captain Quimby Babcock and Hitching have battled for superiority in the 145- pound class, Hopf and Cochrane in the 155-pound class, and Gil- lette and Booker opposed each other in the 175-pound group. Jenkins met no opposition in his class of unlimited weight, and he accounted well for his attempts in every meet. For a first-season man, Babcock has shown good form, and Hopf and Booker both continued to wrestle in their characteristic, high-grade fashion. Only Hopf, Roggow, and Beaudry will leave through gradu- ation this year ; consequently, Coach Pennock will possess a good supply of experienced men next year. Peterson, Choy, and Casey will return with the values that they have gained this season and possibly dislodge some of the men of present standing.

Crowell Captain The mild winter and the long distance to the practice rink served as handicaps to the 1928 Springfield Hockey Team. These factors, however, did not prevent the formation of a worth-while team; for Crowell, Atlin, Pendleton, Lang, Flint, and Johnson contributed the requisites of a nucleus. To these time-tested players, Coach Carroll added his findings in the new candidates, and the result was a group of fast and aggressive skaters. At the beginning of the season, Crowell, of the junior class, was elected to the captiancy. His vast experience in the game made him the logical man for such a posi- tion. Besides his excellent leadership, he always demonstrated first-class ability in de- fense capacities. Atlin, Crowell’s mate on the defensive, showed veteran judgement on every occasion, and Clogston was ever ready to take the place of either of the two. The forward line, consisting of Johnson at center and Flint and Pendleton at the wings, was never lacking in speed nor in shooting skill ; while Springer and Mac Kin- non provided them with valuable reserve power. Lang and Ready shared the duties of protecting the net. Both of these men have long rec ords in hockey, and their work this year was worthy of all that has ever been said of them. Coach Carroll [ 159 ] The scoring of the season was somewhat against the maroon- and-white team, but no rival combination made any goal without hard fighting. At no time did the playing give cause for adverse criticism. Graduation will claim Atlin, Pendleton, Lang, Springer, and Manager Miller, thus leaving just Flint, Crowell, Johnson, Ready, Mac Kinnon, and Legge for the next team. Coach Carroll, though, will be able — despite his heavy duties with the Springfield Indians, a local professional team — to use the members of the present freshman team to good result.

Captains Ever since 1892 when James Naismith, while a student here, invented basketball, Springfield College teams have been superior ones. Following Mr. Naismith, many coaches have trained Spring- field men, — and always the players have prided themselves in repre- senting the birthplace of the game. This year, under the tutelage of E. J. Hickox, the team has upheld Springfield basketball tradi- tion to admirable extent. Although the team has been almost undefeated in its record, the season has not been unusual, for excellent, winning teams are Coach Hickox characteristic of Springfield basketball seasons; nevertheless, Coach Hickox has proved his worth by producing another well-trained combination. His men this year have demonstrated fine coordination, and their machine-like precision has won much praise. Particular in all criticism of the men is the comment, that come what might, they have ever deserved credit for their sportsmanship. And further, nothing has disturbed their team equilibrium ; they have shown ease under all circumstances. The work of the season has tested the qualities of all the men. Captain James proved to be one of the cleverest men in basketball history. Such a feint as his can be found very seldom. Captain W agner exemplified perfection in shooting, if ever perfection is to be realized. Nordyke and Lindemann provided efficiency in de- fence; while Gustafson, Duncan and Craig showed real floor work. Cameron, Burr, Smith, Clark, and Williamson revealed excep- tional qualities; their values were too great to be spared. Too much cannot be said of the splendid managerial perfor- mances of M. Wenner. His abilities have distinguished him as a Manager Wenner most-competent manager. 1 163 J SEASON SCHEDULE December 14 — Wesleyan University at December 16 — Pratt Institute at December 17 — Fordham University at December 19 — E.

It most-often contains records of certain activities and actualities which possess significance extant to the year of publication. Likewise here, the following pages are arranged to provide a pictorial memoir of those performances, functions, and general miscellanea which, in varying degrees, attribute especially to the Springfield collegians’ interests of the past year. From the very-first experience that one has on campus, — namely, that of being welcomed by the White Arrow Club — to the minute of departure, whether it be a day later (as in the case of visiting team-members) or at the end of four years (as with the freshmen), one realizes the importance of the feature life of Springfield College.
