Editor-in-Chief • usiness Ma n a s e AND THIRTY SIX Published by the JUNIORS of Springfield College SPRINGFIELD, MASS, SPRINGFIELD COLLEGE LIBRARY SPRINGFIELD, MASS. j 5 (c FOREWORD T HE founders of our college perceived that the greatest contribution they could make to education would be to offer the opportunity for a man to build a fine mind in a strong body guided by a spirit of love and understanding of men. That this hope has been realized, there is no end of evidence. In the fifty years of existence as an institution devoted to the fulfillment of such a noble purpose, Spring- field has produced men of physical, mental, and spiritual grace, extending the fruits of this development to humanity in all parts of the world. It is fitting then, that as we enter this next fifty years, we review the aspiration of the founders of our Alma Mater and consciously rededicate ourselves to the purposes of this institution. mtmmW mm u sni SS i p ?34 ? ¥ ' ' ' ' ■ , J v , yr‘? r :«v rV t i X ' r fcVtC- vi ! w ' ' ' 1 ’ A ’ ' VVr ‘‘ t ' : - • ■-.•••;. ■.•••••- - • : • ■ ' ■;,•• ;v mmm WKm • o. ’ � .; Ep$8$ lifSlM DEDICATION N deep appreciation of his constant and untiring efforts to elevate and to integrate the many phases of campus activity into a vital and dynamic force for the ennobling of the living experience of Springfield men, both as individuals and as a college group, the Class of 1937, humbly and with much pleasure, dedicates this 1936 volume of the Springfield College Massasoit to Harold Stephen De Groat. ■mb MASSASOIT STAFF HOMER I).

Spirit is the expression of various desires. To initiate, to undertake, to serve,- to do these things with enthusiasm is to display Spirit, a quality which Springfield strives to inculcate in the characters of its men. To the groups represented in the follow- ing section no small credit is due toward contributing much to this essential side of the life of an educated man. 15 Oermann, Hemple, Wheeler, Smith, Davis, Brown SOCIAL COMMITTEE ] HE social life at Springfield is becoming one of the large factors in the experience of the average student. And who must we thank for such a success ? The only answer is, the Social Committee, whose members have worked so diligently. Due to their untiring efforts the dances, the sport formals and many of the other social events that took place during the current year have been a total success. A great deal of interest and competition has been established among the students through the ping pong and bridge tournaments which are sponsored by the Social Committee. The chairman of this Committee is elected by vote of the student body and he in turn picks a limited number of men from the Senior, Junior, and Sophomore classes. They must plan decorations, arrange for patrons and patronesses, decide on an orchestra for dances and take charge of all the minor details connected with the many social affairs. Now that Springfield is developing co-education, there seems to be a higher degree of interest along the social line. The dormitory committee and the social committee are cooperating and trying to produce a new form of social life in the dormitory. May they make the social life of our college an asset to the individual and a contribution to education. 16 Back Row — Edgerly, Vizard, Nuttall, Baker, Scholz, Fascitelli Front Row — Hirrschoff. Buckle, Chairman, Draper. Gould JUNIOR PROM COMMITTEE WHAT is the outstanding social event of the year ? Of course it is the Junior Prom. This is one of the social highlights of the year and is given by the Junior class in honor of the graduating Seniors. Only the two upper classes the faculty members and their wives are allowed to attend this function. One must see the Junior Prom in order to appreciate the time and energy put into it. The committee and its chairman sacrifice time and outside ac- tivities so they may devote themselves exclusively to making this prom a success. The committee also puts forth a super-human effort in organizing the social events for the week-end of the Prom. This year the promenade committee is organized with the view of having each member assume a definite responsibility and in this way takes some of the duties off the chairman’s mind. However the plans of the individual member must meet with the approval of the chairman and the rest of the committee before they are accepted. Under the capable leadership of its chairman John Buckle, the Junior Promenade Committee has been working diligently to make the prom this year one that will be remembered by the Juniors and Seniors as the greatest social function of their college life. 17 Brooks, Butt, White, Baker. Professor Simpson DRAMATICS COMMITTEE QRAMA and its realistic offerings always appeals to men and women alike. The efforts of Professor Simpson and his committee have given us a glimpse of good dramatic productions. Much praise should be given to Chief for his untiring work in this student activity. As we look back over the records we find that several one-act plays are produced each term, and are shown before an attentive audience made up of the students and their friends. The actors also travel to some of the nearby towns and cities where they give entertainments. Some of the members of the cast conduct plays themselves, and a few act in some of the larger productions given in Springfield. Dramatics is receiving a great deal of recognition and becoming more and more popular on campus. The students are beginning to realize the necessity for the fundamentals of dramatic technique which may be used later in directing church and school plays. Professor Simpson is a leader in the field of dramatics and has had much experience along this line. With such a leader to instruct in the tech- nique of dramatics, students are working harder to make room for this course. May they succeed in their efforts and learn, as well as apply, the knowledge they receive from Chief’’ Simpson. IB Back Row — Brown. VanKorb, Coons. Smith. Powers. Ellis, Raymond.

You ask what club this is and the answer is, the Varsity Club. It is open to any man at Springfield College who has obtained his varsity letter in any of the various major sports. In order to enter the club in the right spirit, and show that he is willing to carry out the traditions and obey the rules, the member joining is duly initiated. The main objective of the organization is to attain the highest possible degree of fellowship among the athletes at Springfield College. The club tends to bring out the finest attitude of sportsmanship toward fellow team-mates, as well as toward athletes of other colleges. Although the club is formed on the basis of athletics, it does not hold strictly to this, but has broadened out and at the present time takes part in social, as well as many of the other campus activities. It is hoped that the club will progress this year and make for a much better organization. The present members are planning on producing a club that will be far superior to any formed in past years. Socially the club should reach a peak that has not been attained before in the annals of Springfield College. 19 MM9 Standing — Baker, Guerry Sealed — -Merrill, Ford, Edgerlv MUSIC COMMITTEE JINCE music is a universal language one should become as well versed in it as will afford deep appreciation of this art. The men of this committee have foreseen the important part that music is to play in the life of the average Springfield student. It has been their ultimate desire to provide genuine and lasting familiarity with both classical and modern music. The music committee has charge of all the various musical activities that fake place on the Springfield campus. They foster the Glee Club, Band and the college Orchestra. The committee has attempted to provide a stimulus in the field of music through the development of theGleeClub Band, and the Orchestra. Their sincere and untiring efforts in promoting these organizations for both group and individual talent should be duly recog- nized. We should not forget these men whose excellent work make a high standard of music possible at Springfield College. 20 GLEE CLUB |T is a proven fact that our college men are not one-sided in their ap- preciation of life and one of the outstanding examples of their versa- tility is the maintaining of the high standard of the Glee Club. Each year the ever popular leader Madame Jackson has an increasingly difficult task in the selection of the Glee Club from the abundance of talent offered. This year s incoming Freshman class proved of unusual merit, and more than filled the gap left by the graduating Seniors. Alumni, students and friends of the college have come to expect great things of our vocalists and this year’s performances have added to their enthu- siastic support. Strong in all departments, the Glee Club has acquitted itself well, both at home and in the many delightful trips that have fallen to their lot. Mastering a wide variety of selections from Bach ' ' to Wagon Train”, and with excellent rendering of college songs, they have given us every reason to be proud of them and we look forward to even greater per- formances in the future. The Glee Club has appeared in a number of concerts throughout Massachusetts and several of the surrounding states. It gave an excellent home performance on February 22nd, when it was heard by the local people for the first time this year.

This group of earnest fellow students has done much during the past busy weeks to help us find a worthwhile pause in which to revitalize and redirect our efforts. The Sunday morning meditation and fellowship periods with helpful words from those of wider experience have been of real worth to many Springfield men. The colleges of New England stand out in the eyes of the thoughtful student world through their joint cooperation in the outstanding Student Christian Movement of New England. Through our Religious Committee our campus has kept in touch with this moving force which is helping students to face economic and social issues with an enlightened spiritual viewpoint that promises to be the most successful attack upon our present world crisis. We look with justifiable pride to the leadership of this group of Springfield men. 22 Front Row — Dibble, Alexander, Planitzer, Professor Mohler, Kay, Naik, Lu, Das Second Row — Bermudes, Tenney, Hall, Leong, Wolff, Szabo, Siriany, Sortikopolis, Ricciardi, Moyer Back Row — Nelson, Noble, Banks, Sanborn, Curtis, Hackney, Lingren, Neimark, Oermann COSMOPOLITAN CLUB |F Springfield College did no other thing, it would be unique in its con- tribution to international goodwi II. For many, many years it has en- couraged students from all parts of the globe to come to Springfield and accept the unusual offerings of this college in the field of Physical and Character education. Almost all of these students have returned to their native homes abroad to disseminate the wisdom absorbed at the feet of their Alma Mater. But that is not all! Not only do they profit by contacts with the American people and institutions, but also bring to our campus new ideas and new viewpoints, which help us to understand them, their country and their problems. During the past fifty years, over two hundred such students, mostly selected men from forty-three different countries, have come to Springfield College. To adjust these men from abroad to their new environment, to bring them in intimate contact with each other, and with American students and others, thus enabling the utmost value to be derived from their pres- ence, is no trivial matter. Under the able guidance of Dr. Mohler, the Cosmopolitan Club endeavours to promote friendly and understanding relationships. 23 Back Row — Sampson, Van Korb, Kopf, Dain, Greider, Asquith Second Row — O’Neill, Bascoin, English, Finley First Row — Mantor, Chapman, Bohlinger, Moyer, Queenan MAROON KEY SOCIETY HE history of this society is quite interesting and it shows what a great value the society has. Some of the members of one of the varsity teams were visiting Dartmouth College and were shown around the cam- pus by members of the Green Key Society”. When the fellows came back to Springfield they thought it would be a good idea to start a similar society, and have it act in the same capacity. Ihey also realized the necessity for some sort of society to take charge of the many athletic teams that pay visits to the Springfield College campus. With this idea in mind, the Maroon Key Society was formed. The men who are elected to this society must be able to devote time and energy to their work. Real praise is due the officers of this society and also to the untiring efforts of the members in accomplishing every little task placed before them. Let’s hope that they will always take their work seriously and realize what a great part they are playing in college work. The tasks and favors they complete for friends that come to Springfield will long be remembered by them when others have forgotten these good deeds. 24 landing — Lippitt, Almgren, Cassells, Longstaff, Clark Sealed — Noonan, Abihider, Wasem, Burr, Hatton The International Relations Club o N our campus at Springfield this past year, a group of students formed a new organization, the International Relations Club. Keenly aware o f the value of international harmony, they have taken this oppor- tunity to meet together to discuss, evaluate, and organize an enlightened attitude on the many ramifications that national issues have in the retarding and advancing of world peace and cooperation among the nations. Acknowledging the part played by Springfield students in the past years in the participation at the Model League of Nations and at the various International Relations Club conferences, Springfield College accepted an invitation tendered it to send one of its students to preside at one of the three round table conferences among the leading universi- ties and colleges of New England. To the ch arge that colleges are usually concerned only with theoretical abstractions and are entirely w ithdrawn from the pale of the practical everyday world, Springfield College offers this organization where stu- dents may come to an understanding about the international problems of the moment. 25 LAKE MASSASOIT 26 MIND C ERTAINLY no characteristic so marks a college man as the calibre of his mind. It is the duty of every college to offer to its students the opportunity to improve the mind, broaden the mental horizons, and to bring the mind’s eye to focus upon new fields of endeavour. It is the duty of every man worthy of the name of college student to grasp this opportunity and make use of it in the light of the spiritual side of his nature. To perceive the essential element in a problem, to criticise intelligently, and to advise constructively is the function of the mind. To this end the groups found under this section are devoted. How much each in- dividual group has given to a student is difficult to say. That the united effort of these groups is shaping and stimulating the minds of Springfield College men there is no doubt. 27 ADMINISTRATION 28 LAWRENCE L DOGGETT Ph. D., D. D.

Conscious of their size as a body and, having weathered several years of economic difficulties this group of young men began to feel the strength of unity and a spirit of resoluteness which lifted their heads and crystallized their half-formed motives and aims. The personality of this class began to make itself felt in this institution which is so interested in personalities. Ushered in by vigorous class scraps, the year was one of adjustment, study and friendships. It was terminated by ten glorious days at Freshman Camp, days full of activity, unforgettable experiences and fine evaluation of a year well spent. As Sophomores the Class of 36 administered the last of the old type of initiation, and were pleased to think of it as an efficient business. Indeed the humble Freshman will probably never forget it. These gallant gentle- men of 36 were less efficient in their handling of the class scraps but acquitted themselves nicely in inter-class contests. The manner in which they stepped into varsity ranks was typical of the ability and initiative of 36 CL AS the members of this class. Several of the men of the Class of ’36 were selected to represent the College in Europe during their Junior year. While not relinquishing their places on varsity teams there was a new feeling running through the men in their third year. Serious thought of the future caused them to settle down to real study, in preparation and in planning for the rapidly approaching ' future”. The fourth year of college for the Class of ’36 finds them very sober. Stepping out into life” is not as simple as it used to be. The subjects they wish they had taken, the hours they have wasted, the opportunities that have fled are apt to bring more than one man to sigh. Looking back over four wonderful years, however, brings pictures of many, many happy hours, brings the knowledge of friendships formed that will be everlasting. During the four short years spent on the campus of Springfield the Class of 1936 has passed from boyhood to manhood. It is felt that a growth of under- standing and of attitudes has kept pace with the acquisition of facts and skills. The paths of the men of 1936 separate here. Each man takes his own course, dignified in spirit, skilled and equipped in body and mind, pre- pared to live a full life, grateful to Springfield College for the refinement of these graces. Our Alma Mater, proud of the Class of 1936, bids them farewell with every wish for success. CLASS OF 19 3 6 KENNETH J. ALLAN, B S. Lowell, Mass.

Perhaps that is why they have been able to view their changing environment with such candour and such unwavering faith in the future. The last class to enter during the first fifty years of Springfield’s existence, they saw at the close of their Freshman year, the fiftieth graduating class of ’35 go forth to face the world. Ready and anxious to adapt themselves to Springfield s life and purpose, this Class of ’38 found Springfield itself striving to become adapted to a new order. Here they found no haven of rest in a world of doubt, but saw themselves drawn rapidly into a veritable vortex of thought and ac- tion, yet all whirling forward toward a common end the building of a new world. In one year they saw several of the oldest members of the faculty pass on the torch of service. They saw Dr. McCurdy forced through illness to relinquish his position as head of the Natural Science Division. They took part in the Fiftieth Anniversary celebration which saw the resignation 70 CLAS of Dr. Doggett after his forty years of sterling service. They saw Dr. Mann swing into action as college Dean, and a new Arts and Science Division struggling to find its place in the college curriculum. After their elevation to the rank of Sophomores, they look back on this momentous year of change and re-adjustment in all phases of college life. Yet, to their credit, through it all they had succeeded in maintaining an eagerness to learn and to participate, a unity and a spirit of companion- ship, equal to the best of the 52 classes that preceded them. With such a record, and such a spirit of determination, the class came back with an unwavering intention of getting the very best out of their second year. Their force in college life was soon felt. They gave the incoming Freshmen a friendly but sufficiently firm initiation, and then set to work. No athletic team, no extra curricular activity, no administrative body is there that does not have its representative from the Class of ’38. Outstanding athletes, outstanding students and outstanding leaders of all kinds from the ranks of this class are rapidly coming into the limelight. To the past they say, ' We follow your footsteps and raise the standard still higher on the mountain of success.” To the future they say, We have helped blaze a trail that you may follow just so far, and in the untrodden maze ahead that you must tread- we wish you luck.” 71 s o p more Class ABBOT, JOHEN TUCKER ABIHIDER, JOSEPH ALLEN, PHILIP LEWIS ALMGREN.

Like every group of this type, they were stricken with an acute case of stage fright, caused from all the new and strange experiences. These unsophisticated youths hailed from every corner of the earth, and charted a course for Springfield in search of more knowledge and higher learning. It is only natural that these men were some- what lacking in collegiate wisdom, and appeared to be culturally unpolished. However, to all outward appearance, they were supplied with an abundance of athletic ability and originality, which was shown later in their class scraps and on their class teams. The astounding men of 39 looked as if they had the makings of college men. The first few days of their college career will never be forgotten by these men. New friendships were started, and the entering men came in contact with the upper-classmen who were to be their leaders and friends throughout their stay at Springfield. They learned what a real friendly feeling exists among the students at Springfield College. After meeting some of their fellow classmates, they were shown around the school, and 74 then prepared to take the placement exams that are characteristic of Fresh- man Week. Half scared, the timid frosh took their exams, and were now ready to start their new life as college men. Before they did this, they or- ganized themselves by electing a temporary cabinet, that was to act as a guide through the first term of the school year. Due to the fact that the idea of initiating Freshmen is slowly but surely being discontinued, the Class of ’39 did not receive very harsh treatment at the hands of the Sophomores. As was the custom they were required to go through one hectic week of hazing, but this was made very easy by the initiating committee. How strange these young men looked running backwards, whistling and doing all sorts of crazy stunts. Like the true men of sport they are, they took it all in good fun, and they saw what real value could be attained from this novel introduction to collegiate life. Due to the imperialistic predominance of this new class, there was a disastrous result for the Sophomores. Th e unusual Class of ’39 took it upon themselves to organize into one strong body, and when it came to the celebrated cane-rush and rope pull, the highly spirited and jubilant Fresh- man class walked off with all of the honors and left the bewildered Sophomores somewhat doubtful as to just what they would do next. 75 Index h r e s n m a n Cl ass ABAR, JEAN W.

Before these students are admitted they must be approved by the director of the division as well as the dean of the college and the committee in charge of this type of work. Application filed from another college or university must be supplemented by an official transcript sent directly from that school at which the student studied. Those taking graduate work at Springfield College may study for three major degrees. First is the Master of Education, which is the most widely known course of Springfield’s three graduate courses. They may also study for Master of Humanics and Master of Physical Education. In order to stimulate interest in graduate study, we find that Springfield College offers many graduate scholarships. Graduates of the College are granted these scholarships, and a member of any other recognized school, if he is in the upper fourth of the graduate group. 78 STUDENT ASSOCIATION JHE Student Association is an organization that holds an extremely high place in the Student government. It has charge of all of the stu- dent activities, including athletics, social affairs, religious program and almost every detail of the campus life. Every student is required to be a member of the Student Association if he wishes to participate in any varsity athletics. His membership allows him to attend all the home athletic contests and Association Func- tions. Some of the duties of the Student Association are apt to be forgotten in the hustle of college life. The well organized and successful Inter- national Week Campaign is carried on under the expert guidance of the Student Association. Many students are required to work their way through school, and find it a very difficult task to obtain work for themselves. The Student Association comes to the rescue of the bewildered student with its newly formed Employment Bureau. It was started by the Associa- tion and is now maintained and supported by it. This organization may easily be defined as the most important on the college campus. Without it college life would be entirely disrupted. Congratulations to this organization for its excellent work. 79 Back Row — Sugden. Bradford, Davis, Parson, Ford. Butt, Whitney Front Row — Dickenman, Keith, Rees, Allan, Seymour THE CABINET wcc would we do without the services of these gentlemen of the Cabinet They are the supervisors of the extra-curricular activities, and have charge of all promotions, as well as the controlling interests of each one. No one knows better than the members of the cabinet the work they have to do, the time they must put in, and the many things they really ac- complish. The members of this Cabinet are elected by popular vote of the student body after they have been nominated by the Elections Committee and their names placed on the ballot. The Cabinet is made up of the President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer of the Student Association. It also contains the chairmen of the eleven committees, the President of the Senate and the Executive Secretary. Wh en we look over the records of the different committees, clubs, and executive bodies of Springfield College, we should not forget the Cabinet. The members deserve much praise and a vote of thanks for the splendid work they have accomplished during the last year. Mr. Doyle Parsons should be duly recognized for the part he has played in cooperating with the Cabinet. 80 Standing — Brown, Cushing, Slifkus Seated — Bent, Hebard, Planitzer, Seymour, Nuttall, Bryant, Merrill THE SENATE THE Senate is made up of students and they in turn are the intermediaries between the faculty and the rest of the student body. This organiza- tion is the official legislative body of the college, and has charge of regu- lating and conducting all new measures that make for the improvement o f th e campus life of the students. The members of the Senate are elected in the spring of the year by the popular vote of the students. These men have charge of inter-class scraps, cane rush and the rope pull. It is their duty to see that they are carried out in an efficient manner. Besides these duties, they enforce the Fresh- man laws, and see that those who break the laws are dealt with in a just manner. Those who are called before the Senate know that they have little to fear and they also know that they will be greeted by an understanding group of men, very sympathetic and friendly. We not only see the Senate as a disciplinary body but as a group of young men that is trying to make things easier for the average student. A great deal of credit should be given to these men, for the time and effort they put forth in helping to regulate college life. 81 Student Faculty House Committee A NEW change has been taking place in the life in the dormitory due to the efforts of Athletic Manager H. S. DeGroat. He started the idea of organizing the dormitory into different units and in this manner enabled the students to have a better and more socialized dormitory life. The Committee is composed of a chairman and members of the faculty. The student counselors are chosen by the recommendations of the faculty, former counselors and Senate. In this manner, the best men are selected for dormitory counselors. The students in the different sections organize their own wing of the dormitory. By election they have a social, educational, and recreation chairman whose duty it is to act as a representative in his respective position. Our Student Faculty House Committee is working its hardest to attain a definite goal, but this will not be possible until every student and coun- selor cooperate. Cooperation means success in this venture and success will mean a great deal to the committee which has worked hard in pro- ducing new and better dormitory conditions. 82 Powers, Allan, Hill, Sugden, Huston, DeGroat Athletic Department Committee ROOKING through the current year, we Find that this committee has worked diligently in supervising, planning and carrying out the heavy athletic program at Springfield College. Under the capable leadership of H. S. DeGroat, Faculty Manager of Athletics, this group of men super- vise all athletic contests. Before the athletic contracts are duly recog- nized they must pass through the hands of this committee. Th e Student Association, each year, donates part of the money they take in to the different teams for their support and maintenance. In order to have this money controlled in the proper manner, the Athletic Com- mittee draws up a budget, and sees that the expenditures of the teams are kept within the budget. The granting of awards, letters, certificates, charms and the appointing of all managers, must be approved by the Athletic Department Com- mittee. The inter-class sports and the campus league contests are formed and carried out under the guidance of the committee. They also have control of junior va rsity sports and cheer-leaders. 83 Standing — Belanich, Buckle, Breux, Abihider, Umansky Sealed — Manager Burr. Coach Esenwein, Kay DEBATING QEBATING has long been recognized as one of the most worthwhile of all collegiate activities. Springfield men interested in this type of work are particularly fortunate in having as their coach and advisor. Dr. J. Berg Esenwein, a man of keen vision and inspiring criticism. Under his guidance the 1935-36 debating team has set up a record that may well be the envy of every great college and university. After auspi- ciously opening the year by defeating a representative Co-ed team, the Springfield Speakers met and defeated two champion Canadian debaters who toured the United States to meet some of the best American teams. Other interesting debates have been scheduled with Vermont University, Norfolk Prison Colony, University of New Hampshire, Fitchburg State Teachers College and Bay Path Institute. The organization of Debating and Forum Society has greatly stimulated the interest in this activity. The group, which meets every Thursday even- ing, invites a speaker to present his views on a timely subject and this is followed by a general discussion of the topic. It is encouraging to find in a school so absorbed in athletics that debating has been able to com- mand so high a place in the interest of the student body. 84 Standing — Curtis, Merrill. Seymour, Hobson, Burr Sealed — Butt, Lippincott, Brooks, Brown PUBLICATIONS BOARD EVER heard of these dignitaries ? Few students have yet the Publica- tions Board is a very necessary body on our campus program. List them separately and you will find that there are quite a few publications circulated during the course of the year. Who heads up these publica- tions? Who controls their editorial policies their activities their adver- tising? Who selects their officials? Who determines their budget ? Who skilfully insures their smooth working relationships ? Who instills in their staffs the desire to follow, or even to improve upon the high standards set by previous publications ? The answer to all this is, the Publications Board”. Though silently they work, their results are seen in the printed page of Directory, Student, Massasoit and all those college publications which in years to come will be treasured possessions in your homes. 85 Back Row — Rimany, Curley, Wolcott, Wrighter Stcond Row — Merrill, Morehouse, Keith, Hempel, George, Ferguson, Chapman First Row — Butt, Smith, Whitfield, Seymour, Sugden, Clark, Davis THE SPRINGFIELD STUDENT j HE policy of the Student is twofold; first it must report faithfully the happenings among the students, faculty and alumni, maintaining always that a short story truthfully reported is better than a long article glossed by the imagination. Secondly, it must increase the student’s knowledge of campus problems and the affairs of other colleges, at the same time creating a spirit of finer cooperation and understanding between the students and administration. From the educational standpoint there is no question of the potential value of this organization. It has been during the past year as fine a school of journalism as it has been an organ of campus opinion. As a newspaper the Springfield Student has set the pace for most of the college journals of New England. The staff of this publication has earned our highest praise. 86 Umansky, Brown, Badgely THE DIRECTORY ACH member of the student body receives early in the school year a small compact book known as the Directory. It includes the names of each student, his class and school address. In it also appear the names and addresses of the faculty. The list of officers of the various organiza- tions which is included makes the book especially useful. The constant reference by students to the Directory is an indication of its usefulness and is an acknowledgment of the effort expended by the men responsible for its publication. 87 Bradford, Wright, Belanich, Reedel, Guerry, VanKorb STORE COMMITTEE O NE of the most important and most efficient committees on campus is the Store Committee. This body of men has charge of distributing and regulating all of the concessions. If any of the concessions do not prove satisfactory, the Store Committee has the privilege and power to cancel them. They may also limit the number of these business permits granted during the year. The Chairman of the Store Committee is elected by the student body, and he in turn picks the members he thinks should serve with him. The Committee has to look over all the applications for concessions and then vote on the persons that they feel need the work and will do the best job. They also pass judgment on the employees of the Student Co-operative store. One of the outstanding duties carried out by the Committee is the super- vision of the Co-operative Store. The Store Committee works in conjunction with the Social Committee in supervising Woods Hall. Congratulations to the members of this group for the efficiency they have shown in their work and the effort they have put forth in helping the students. 88 Standing — Burr, Baker, Tenney, Butt Sealed — Brook, White TEA AND TOPICS APPRECIATION of 7 and interest in the higher and finer standards of literature, poetry, prose, and essays have led to the founding of this organization. Realizing the necessity for a club that would give the student a chance to round out his character along this line, Al Butt con- ceived and carried out the idea of a Tea and Topics Club. It is open to any student of Springfield College who is interested in social and literary work. Interest is maintained by having weekly meet- ings of a social nature, and carrying them over into discussions. The meet- ings are held before the fireplace in Mr. Frasher’s home. Mr. Frasher serves as the Faculty Director. At these meetings a member is called upon to lead the discussion and other members take charge of refresh- ments. Starting with few members to form a nucleus, the club has increased until it is now one of the strong and popular clubs on campus. The spirit that has grown up in the past is sure to continue and make this club the most influential of its kind on the college campus. 89 T H E GYMNASIUM 90 BODY T he origin of Springfield College is closely associated with the realization by a few men of the intrinsic value to society of dynamic personalities, who would live vig- orous and highly productive lives by being strong in body. For is not th e body the immediate temple of the mind — and of the man ? 91 92 PRING SPORT J .

Coach DeGroat posted the call for baseball candidates. A large group of enthusiasts responded and ere long, the crack of the bat was a familiar sound behind the Gymnasium. While the student body was home enjoying the Easter holiday, the DeGroatmen invaded the south on a training trip, one that proved to be successful from point of view of victories and served to point out the capable men. The team won all of its games by impressive scores showing the team that had been picked was well equipped in offensive and de- fensive ball playing. The first game of the season was scheduled with Yale but as had been the case for the past three years, the game was called on account of rain. The following four games were played on South Field and the ' 35 ball tossers came through with as many victories. The heavy batting which would have done credit to any of Springfield s teams in the past was led by Allen, a Sophomore. Providence was the team that gave the Maroon combination its first taste of defeat and they accomplished this by a score of 8-7. Boston College duplicated Providence s feat and gave Springfield a 13-6 defeat. But the Maroons recovered from these two consecutive losses on the home field when they took the road for New York State. They won six of their seven games and the loss was to the strong Colgate team. The results of the subsequent season’s contests are listed below. 94 Back Row — Johnson, Dunn. Fascitelli, Bradford. Huston. Malins, DeGroat. Whitman. Keith, Buscall, Tuthill. Gray Front Row — Nuttall, Allan, Celia, Smith, Scott, Elliot, Mason, Ober, Davis The team was in the main, most successful. They won 17 games, losing 5, and these 5 became leading collegiate teams. The team is to feel greatly the loss of Ober, Mason, Elliot and Capt. Scott who played fine baseball for the Maroons all season. The members of the squad paid respect to the work of Smith, second baseman, and elected him Captain of the team for ' 36 due to his brilliant and never failing play on the second sack.

The team was captained by Stuart Parks, one of the outstanding track athletes in New England college circles. The first meet of the season was at home on Pratt Field against the strong University of Maine team. The meet brought out the potential ability of several sophomores: Boyden, Turner, Kuzmech, and Walmsley. Maine easily won the meet but in each event, although the Maroons were outclassed, they gave their best and made the meet interesting. Saturday, May 4th, Springfield travelled to Maine where they engaged Bowdoin and Colby in a triangular meet at Bowdoin. Here the Spring- field men met real opposition for both opponents were represented by men who had placed in the Intercol legiates the previous year. Parks regained his true form to win the 100 yd. and the 220 yd. dashes. Ellis garnered 5 points in the high jump and Kuzmech did likewise in the pole vault. Springfield won enough points to give them second place in the tri-meet. The following Saturday being on the Junior Prom weekend, the Athletic Department had a contest arranged with the Alumni. A horde of graduates showed up and although they attempted valiantly to beat the varsity, their condition would not allow it. The varsity won by a wide margin. 96 Back Row — Smith, Bentley. Turner, Rosengren. Murphy, Coons, Bovden, Hirschoff, Ricciardi, Case Third Row — Rothacher, Wood, Gould, Raymond, De Baun, Ellis, White, Kopf, Raimo, Walmsley, Hampson. Pennock, Fowler Second Roiv — Woytisek, Spickers, Sawyer. Patterson, Kodis, Parks, Weinheimer, Parker, Pauling, Hawkes First Row — Matulevicz, Allan, Wright, Szabo, Rossig, Vogt, Hunt, Kuzmech, Wolcott, Goodwin The Northeastern University track team visited Pratt Field on May 1 8th. They defeated our Maroon combine by the score of 81 to 54. Kodis gained the only first for Springfield in the field events by winning the hammer throw. Parks gained two firsts for Springfield in the dashes. Five men competed for Springfield in the New England Championships. Of the five, three were able to place in their respective events. Parks won the broad jump with a leap of 23 ft. 5 ' A in. The last meet with New Hampshire took place in Durham. Because of the fine performances of Funston, New Hampshire captain, they won the meet handily. He secured 25 points by winning five events. The team paid its respects to Eugene Boyden for his fine spirit, his capable leadership, and his earnestness, by electing him to captain next year’s team. We wish him and his team mates the best of luck for the coming season.

Led by Co-Captains Kosiba and Charton, the veterans reporting were: Rees, Koch, Hill, Brown, Colburn, Fa llek, Cushing, Martin, Crowell, Powers, Law, Robertson and Putnam. These plus a host of sophomores up from the freshman squad were to make up the 1935 combination. A determined, revengeful Springfield team journeyed to West Point to face one of the best teams in the country. As had been the case in the previous year, the West Pointers won the game by a one-sided score. We respect the condition and knowledge of the game that the Army team possessed and realize that the Maroons were working against a stronger and better team. The Springfield team that took the field at Yale was a smoother, better conditioned outfit than the one that had been beaten by Army. After a hard fought contest, Springfield won out, 10 to 9. Our play was superior to that of our rival and the victory was well earned. Fresh from the victory at New Haven, the Springfield men travelled south into New Jersey to meet the powerful crimson foe from Rutgers. The New Brunswick boys proved to be too good for the Maroon team which lost its second game of the season by the score of 11 to 8. This game must have aroused some latent drive in our club for the following day it gave C.C.N.Y. a sound trouncing, 12-5. The following Saturday the pupils of Coach Netter entertained Swarth- more in a contest which resulted in another smashing victory. With a 98 Back Row — Urquhart, Sanborn, Hill.

The Nettermen next moved into Williamstown for a tilt wi th their rivals at Williams College. Our team continued its brilliant play, running up its third consecutive victory. The aggressive Springfield combination was next the guest of Tufts at Medford. The Medford team could not solve the swift tricky attack of the Netter-coached men and found themselves on the sm all end of the 13 to 2 score. The Brown game was the final game of the season, and a victory over our Providence rivals would, as it had in 1934, give us the New England Championship. The Maroons proved themselves worthy defenders of the coveted title by handing the Brown Bear its second decisive defeat in two years, 15 to 3. Th us the Varsity Lacrosse team enjoyed another successful year, retaining their title as New England Champions. Charton, Kosiba and Robertson will be lost through graduation but ten lettermen led by Captain-elect Walter Colburn will return for another season.

Chapman, Director Cureton LIFE SAVING SQUAD |JNDER the able direct ion of Prof. T. K. Cureton, swimming coach at Springfield College, one of the largest demonstrations of mass life saving in the country was held at Springfield College during the Com- mencement week of 1935. It is of interest to note that Springfield College has the largest number of life-savers of any organization in the United States. Th is mass life saving corps consisted of 90 men divided into 3 squads of 30 men each. To be a member of the corps a man must have been a Senior Life-Saver or a Red Cross Examiner. The individual sq uads were headed up under the able leadership of Scholz, Brown and Chapman. The events for the afternoon consisted of a mass swimming rescue, a buoy rescue, canoe boat rescue, canoe over canoe rescue, and surf board rescue. The above named groups participated in a race to deter- mine the swiftest method of life saving. Th e surf board, handled by Don 100 Stone, proved to be the fastest method of life saving. This was the con- cluding and most spectacular event of the afternoon. A demonstration of this sort indicates the tremendous development that organized life saving has undergone since its birth 20 years ago. Today we realize that a well trained group of life-savers is necessary to an efficient safety program. It is significant that Springfield College is the foremost leader in this new field. Many members of the squad demonstrated in a practical and heroic manner the skill, the spirit and the efficiency of their organization during the great flood in March. The knowledge and training in the art of rescue and life saving work, coupled with their fine attitude, gave them the opportunity to serve the community and the victims of the flood effectively. There have been many stories of the sacrifice of time and energy by many individuals and organizations. All deserve credit but none more than the members of the Life Saving Squad of Springfield College. The action of these men during the flood is a fine tribute to the organization. 101 Manager Bicknell, Captain Thompson, Coach Brock, Manager Anderton VARSITY TENNIS JHE tennis squad was to be formed around a nucleus of four letter men; Captain-elect Thompson, Miller, Springs, and Scott. As many as eight men were out for the other two positions; but the two chosen to represent Springfield were sophomores Hebard and Anderson. The opening match against Tufts was played at Medford and the day proved a decided drawback to each team in playing its best game. A heavy wind was blowing, causing the tennis ball to do many queer things. But the Maroons proved to be the better team at weathering severe wind storms and won the match 5-4. Two days later Clark University journeyed up from Worcester to compete against the varsity on Pratt Field. Each contest proved to be filled with fine tennis playing and the Maroons showed their quality by again coming through with a 5-4 victory. Springfield’s first defeat came in their third match against an excep- tionally strong Lehigh team. The outstanding match was between Hebard of Springfield and Elkins of Lehigh. Both were No. 1 man on their respec- tive teams. Hebard won the match 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 but as the score in- dicates, he had to face very stiff competition. The contest concluded with a 5-4 defeat for Springfield. Providence came to the shores of the Massasoit full of confidence due to their excellent No. 1 man who had been having a highly success- ful season. A large crowd turned out to witness what was expected to be a very good match between Hebard and the No. 1 man of Providence. 102 Bicknell, Springs, Ford, Miller, Thompson, Hebard, Scott, Brock, Anderton When the dust of the onslaught between these two had cleared away, Hebard had beaten his man in three sets. The Maroons went on to win the match, 5-4. Taking to the road on the following week, the Brock-coached men met the best team of the season in Brown University. They had a well balanced team and came through with the Maroons second defeat 6-3. Worcester next offered a far better brand of competition than was expected and nearly scored an upset, but the one point margin of victory was in the Springfield score books and they brought their season to a close with a 5-4 victory, the Engineers being the final victims. Hebard was undefeated except for the New England Intercollegiates where he was beaten by Stevens of Yale, who subsequently went on to win the championship. Hebard and Thompson were undefeated at doubles, except in the same tournament. The team will lose Thompson, Miller, and And erson but should have the best season ever under the capable leadership of Captain Hebard, and veterans Scott and Ford.

Captain McNiven, Coach Rothacher VARSITY FOOTBALL pOOTBALL made its ever welcome debut at Pratt Field with East Strouds- burg furnishing the opposition for the Maroon and White machine. The field was slippery and the ball hard to handle, but the team came through with a 10 to 0 victory. Dattola and Huston were the shining lights for the local team. The following Saturday, Coach Rothacher took his eleven to Cam bridge to play Harvard. There, Springfield was stopped by a powerful Harvard team which rolled up a 20 to 0 score. The team next journeyed to Brown where they forced the Bears to bow down in reverence and awe after they had pinned a 20 to 0 defeat on them. The first tally was made by Huston on a short run, the second by Goodwin on an interception, and the last by Winslow on an interception. The following Saturday the Maroons played host to the University of New Hampshire. This proved to be an excellent game and the local team won 13 to 0, thereby shattering the jinx of past years. The next week, the Providence Friars nailed the second defeat on the Rothacher-coached combine. The score was 12 to 0 and it was mainly through the efforts of Soar, Providence star, that the Friars made such a fine showing. The line led by Captain McNiven worked hard and spoiled many plays that might have gone for scores. After each defeat, the Maroons seemed to take it out on the next opponent. This time it was Lowell Textile which suffered at the hands of the local team to the tune of 53 to 0. 106 Back Row — Pennock, Parker. De Groat. Frey. McCulloch. Ostrom, Bentley, Bryant, Slifkus, Nelson. Phillips, Merrill, Williamson Third Row — Wood, Coons, Sollanek, Walmsley, Krayer, Knox, Raimo, Goodwin.

Powers, L’Hommidieu, McNiven, Colburn, Bradford, Allan, Winslow, Neidland First Row — Bryant, Hall, Thompson, Plumb, Dattola, Buscall, Kiernan, Conover, Fascitelli, Raymond, Adrian Once more Pratt Field proved to be a good-luck charm as the Maroons downed the invading St. Thomas team 7 to 0. The last minute provided the thrill of the day. With only seconds to play Quarterback Keith threw a pass to Huston for the only score of the game. The following Saturday, the team went to Boston where they were overwhelmed by Boston College to the tune of 39 to 0. This was the worst defeat a Springfield team has suffered for a long time. Rosengren, Putnam, and Colburn stood out in the line and Plumb, Goodwin, and Cushing in the backfield. In the final game of the season, Springfield defeated Allegheny 19 to 0. Th e game showed some fine football in spite of freezing weather. After the season had closed, the letter men elected Warren Huston to captain the team for the next year. The past season has been one of the best that Coach Rothacher has had, and with the wealth of material coming back, we wish him a well played and prosperous season.

Captain Ferguson. Coach Brock VARSITY SOCCER has been the custom for the past few years, the soccer season was opened against Stroudsburg Teachers College. The Teachers had a strong team and the Maroons barely nosed them out 2 to 1 . The field was a sea of mud and this severely hampered both teams. The second game of th e season found Dartmouth here and they proved to be stronger than was anticipated. Before the game was very old, Dartmouth had scored 2 goals and it was not until the third period that Ferguson and Fielden scored for Springfield to tie the score. The following game was with an All-Star outfit of the FHampden League. This team was composed of the outstanding stars of this section of the state. The All-Stars won a well played game 2 to 0. Syracuse was the next opponent of the Brock clan and Springfield proceeded to thrash the New York State outfit 6 to 1 . Syracuse scored first through the efforts of Captain FHughes but during the rest of the game they were unable to secure the scoring punch. Mahan scored the first Maroon goal with Boyden, FHanson, Fielden, Fa llek, and Ross Smith following in that order. The contest at New Fhaven the following Tuesday found Springfield stacked against the Yale booters. Yale continued her undefeated record as the locals bowed 1 to 0. Roy Nuttall rose to great heights in this game and it was largely through his efforts that the score was kept down as low as it was. The much talked about trip to Army and Penn State was next on the Maroon slate. The Army started the game with their customary drive 108 Back Row — Chapman, Munson, Tracy, Kay, Nuttall, Smith , Steinhoff, Warner. George Second Row — Brock. Walton. Bieber, Spahr, Hill, VanKorb, Sortikopolis, Ward. Moyer Netter First Row — Wagner, Boyden, Fallek, Hanson, Ferguson, Smith, Fielden, Mahon. Smith and it was only through the great work o f Nuttall, Kay, and Smi th that they were kept from scoring. Under the cover of darkness in the last quarter, Army booted a goal and won the game 1 to 0. The Brock-men played Penn State on the following Saturday and the only score o f the game came when McEwan, All-American center for- ward headed a ball into the goal for State. The Maroon team next tackled Temple at Philadelphia. Displaying fight and determination, Springfield came through with a great victory 2 to 0. Springfield closed its season against Brown with a 3 to 1 win. Boyden, Sortikopolis, and Rod Smith accounted for the three tallies while Burbank booted the solitary Brown counter. Lloyd Spahr was honored by his team mates at the close of the season by being elected captain for the coming campaign. With a fine nucleus of veterans back, a successful season is looked for next year.

Co-Captain Hodgkins, Co-Captain Rossi, Coach Colli ns CROSS COUNTRY 1 HE 1935 Cross Country season saw the development of a rather green team into a powerful and smooth running group that shows much promise for the 1936 season. The first meet of the season found the maroon clad runners bowing to the superior experience of the Connecticut State Team. This meet however showed the possibilities of several men; Hodgkins finishing third and Cooke fifth. In the second meet of the season against Bowdoin College, Springfield was again on the end but this time the score was much closer and the times of the men faster. Again it was Hodgkins, Cooke, and Hampson for Springfield. This meet also saw Holder, Snow, Rossi, Baker and Kuscher finishing in the first twelve. The high water mark of the season was reached when the Springfield team competed in the Harvard Open at Cambridge. Holder of Spring- field led the pack for the first quarter mile then Hodgkins took the lead to 110 Planitzer, Hampson, Hodgkins, Baker, Holder, Collins Rossi , Snow the half mile mark where Hampson took the lead and kept it till two and one half miles were passed. Here Hodgkins and Cooke took over the banner and finished in 14th and 16th places respectively with Rossi, Snow and Hampson trailing them in to complete the team score which gave Springfield fifth place in the meet. The day following the Harvard Open saw our team at the University of Vermont, and the reaction from the gruelling race of the day before set in, resulting in a defeat where a victory had been expected. The following week found Springfield sadly outclassed at the New England Intercollegiate Championships, but again we must recognize the persistence of Captain Hodgkins, Cooke and Captain Rossi. The team was indeed fortunate to have Coach Collins at the helm with the able assistance of Co-Captains Hodgkins and Rossi. These men kept the team inspired and every member of the squad did his best throughout the season. Next year Leonard J. Hampson will be captain and we are sure that he will lead an inspired team to victory. ir 112 WINTER SPORT •� ♦� r ' ifi i y v 113 BASKETBALL OP E , of the finest teams to ever represent Springfield on the athletic field was the basketball team of ’36, led by Captain Celia and coached by the famed Edw ard Hickox. Playing one of the stiffest sched- ules ever faced by a Maroon quintet, they went through the season suffering only five defeats, and one of these they revenged by winning two from the same club. Five pre-season contests were listed on the schedule, taking place during the vacation week and in New York State. The games resulted in four victories and one defeat, this loss to Long Island U., the school that surprised many of the critics with its playing. The outstanding victory of the tour was the beating of Rutgers by the margin of 8 points. The team then parted for the Christmas vacation but were reunited several days later in preparation for the season. The quintet won the next five games by large margins and the basketball enthusiasts were reckoning Springfield as a leading New England Team. The Basketeers went into the five consecutive games and came out tasting but one defeat. But their meeting with Providence found them on the low end of a close score and the team had now tasted their second loss. They recovered and resumed their winning streak by beating Williams and Providence but took a step down the ladder when they encountered Lowell Textile. Their last game of the schedule was with New Hampshire and they easily overcame the Wildcats for a 59-41 victory. Because of their outstanding record and their brilliant playing they were chosen as a candidate for the representation of the New England Section in the trials for Olympic possibilities. Providence was given the 114 Back Row — Smith, Dickenman Second Row — Mahan, Brown, Meyers, Lawler, Hickox First Row — Rees, Hebard, Celia, Nuttall, Hunt honor as opponents and the game was to be played at Harvard Univer- sity, Cambridge, Mass. Springfield was victorious at Cambridge and they now journeyed to Madison Square Garden in New York to enter the preliminary trials for representation of the United States in the 1936 Olympics. But as dame fortune would have it, the Maroon combine suffer- ed an upset in their first game against St. Francis and were on the short end of a 44-36 score. Although they did not succeed as was expected in the trials for the Olympics, they did have one of the most brilliant and successful basket- ball teams ever produced here at Springfield College and such men as Celia, Hunt and Hebard will long be remembered when basketball is mentioned. The team paid respects to the fine spirit and cool, effective playing of Dick Hebard and elected him to the Captaincy of next year s team.

Handicapped by the small amount of material and the difficult schedule, expectations of a successful season were dimmed, except in the case of the excellent work of Captains Holland and Sugden. The season opened with Amherst in a pre-vacation meet which yielded victory for Amherst, but showed the natators where their weakness lay. This meet showed the stars to be Holland, Sugden and Raymond, but the rest of the swimmers demonstrated splendid spirit and made it an interesting meet, as the score of 46-31 indicates. Coach Stone and his swimmers travelled to West Point on January 18, after the holidays, and put up a valiant struggle there,- Holland taking off several seconds on the pool record for the 440 and 220 swim, and winning the 100 yd. dash. Sugden showed his heels to the rest of the field in the backstroke. At the end of the meet the score stood 48-23. On the 22nd of January, the swimmers ventured into the beautiful Yale pool, and gathered 14 points against a team which is one of the outstanding collections of swimmers in the country. Captain Holland proved to be the only man to gather any first places, coming in first in the 50 and 100 yd. events. Yale gathered 62 points but failed in its attempt at a new record in the 400 yd. relay event. Coach Stone next took his swimmers to Dartmouth, where Holland set a new New England Intercollegiate record and also took three firsts. Previous pool records seemed doomed that day, as records for the back- 116 Standing — Squires, Ranft, . McGowan, Raymond, Warner, Stone, Planitzer Sitting — Hartman, Oneill, Holland, Sugden, Carlson, Bowes, , stroke, and breaststroke were broken by Dartmouth swimmers. Th e meet ended 51-20. The next meet found the team in its home waters against one of the strongest teams of the season, Harvard. The final score read 64-16, with Holland being the only first place winner, breaking the New Eng- land Intercollegiate mark again in the 440 yd. swim. After the severe beating at the hands of Harvard, the team met and defeated a weak Coast Guard Team, which saw the Maroons winning in almost every event. Holland and Sugden showed superior perform- ance. Travelling to Brown the team faced unexpected competition in the new ace, Forbes, who set a new record in the 440, outdistancing Holland by a few yards. The meet also saw Holland break the record in the 220. The teams gave a good exhibition of swimming and the meet was closer than the score of 52-25 indicates. The next meet with Williams saw another defeat to the tune of 41-38, with Holland, Sugden, and Raymond sharing the honors, but defeat in the final relay cost us the victory. Th e final event of the year was the New England Intercollegiate meet. The Maroon team was represented by Holland, Sugden, Raymond, Blanchard and Warner. Holland and Sugden alone finally qualified. Holland then won two events, setting a new record in the 440 yd. free- style and making a new pool record for the 50 yd. dash. The complete record was not bright but the prospects are promising for a winning team in 1937 with a number of capable freshmen coming up. 117 Coach Taylor Captain Bradford. Manager Winslow BOXING gPRINGFIELD Colleg e can well be proud of its plucky team of boxers which has encountered almost all of the best boxing teams in the Eastern intercollegiate circle. The spirit of the fellows out for the team the past year has been admirable; fighting without the services of a full time coach, and each man learning from experience and observation. The outstanding performance of the Maroon boxing squad was against Syracuse University. The initial meet of the season, against the U.S. Coast Guard saw only one scalp for the Maroon Indians, and that taken by Captain-Elect Fred Loo. The second fight on the slate was against the U.S. Cadets at West Point. Army has one of the most powerful boxing aggregations in the East. The Army coach juggled his weight divisions around to better meet the Maroons, who, despite a defeat, showed a heartiness that won in the gra ndstands, if not in the arena. At Syracuse, the boxers put on their best performance of the season despite the high caliber of the Syracuse team. In the lightweight division, Loo pummelled and thrashed his opponent about for three rounds until 118 Back Row — Coach Taylor. Freeman. Frey, Brooks. Moyer. Manager Winslow Front Roiv — Hetzel. Sortikopolis, Captain Bradford. Cooley, Loo the closing ten seconds when, tripping over his opponent he suffered a deep gash over his right eyebrow, thereby necessitating the forfeiture of the battle to Syracuse. Captain Bradford, fighting against the 145 intercollegiate champion, was conceded defeat by many Syracusans before the match, but nevertheless Bradford agreed to defeat only by decision. When M.l.T. came to Springfield in the first and only home-meet of the season, local boxing fans saw two teams of equal ability. Springfield College carried the bouts to the opponents, and also brought the match to a successful finish. Herman Frey fought his best bout by thumping his heavier opponent about for three rounds until the other found it necessary to stay down in the last round. Loo knocked out his man in the first round, as did Captain Bradford. The team this year looked promising. In Cort Cooley, the team sees a heady boxer and a willing boxer. Bucky Freeman needs only a bit of time in which to see technical boxing. He does not lack power or grit,- he possesses much of both. Freddy Loo, who was elected Captain for the incoming year, is also a conscientious fighter whom the fellows are will- ing to follow. 119 Coach Hampson, Manager Magwire, Captain Sollanek FENCING j I — IIS past winter saw fencing introduced as a varsity sport. The team took the floor against Amherst on March 3 and went down fighting by the score of 6 to 2. Co-captains Graham and Sollanek both scored winning bouts for Springfield. The second competitive meet was against the strong Norwich Uni- versity team on March 7 in the West Gym. Co-captains Graham and Sollanek were brilliant in the attack against the Norwich swordsmen while White and Witbeck also looked good. The final score was Norwich 8, Springfield 4. In the final meet on April 23 against the Springfield Tumvereins, our strongest opponent, we came through with 10 wins in a 25 bout round- robin meet against these experienced swordsmen, 10 of the 15 Turn- verein points being scored by two of the most experienced pupils of 120 Back Row — White, Hepp, Hampson Second Row — Seldon, Burt, Clark, Benson First Row — George, Sollanek, Nilson, Magwire Chris’’ Niebar, one-time world champion fencer. In this meet Sollanek Graham Dexter, Husted, Witbeck, White and Magwire showed just what hard work coupled with real interest can do. The team also put on a very spectacular exhibition at the Indian Moto- cycle Company, in which Jack” Selden, a freshman, showed as much talent and skill as the upper-classmen and will undoubtedly be one of the outstanding duelists on next year’s team. Due to the fact that the team failed to schedule a sufficient number of competitive meets under the intercollegiate rules, fencing was not officially recognized as a varsity sport, thus there were no lettermen. In regard to next season, everything seems to indicate that we should enjoy a grand season with successful swordsmanship. Reasons for this prediction are: first, we shall have about a dozen experienced fencers because there are no seniors on the team,- and secondly, we expect to compete against Amherst, Norwich, Williams, Wesleyan, the Turnvereins and Ha rva rd . 121 Manager Kuscher, Coach Judd. Captain Hasler GYM TEAM A RTISTIC New — Clever- Unique!!” These were the commendations received, both personal and in press, from the thirteen thousand people who saw this year’s Gym Team go through their paces in nine states throughout New England and the East. Graduation took a heavy toll from the ranks, and speculation was rampant as to just what could be salvaged in order to build a representa- tive Springfield Team. However, from the moment the boys stepped upon the floor at their first exhibition in Southbridge, Mass., they emanated such skill and finesse that the speculation changed to genuine appreciation. But still not satisfied, the gymnasts led by Captain Edwin Hasler continued to improve until the wind-up of the season at Atlantic City, New Jersey, where they put on a practically perfect exhibition proving to a basketball- minded audience that the Hoop Game is not the only type of athletics during the winter season that can provide them with skill and excitement. This year’s Home Exhibition was witnessed by one of the largest au- diences since the outstanding year of 1925, when that Team enjoyed so much success because of its trip to Mexico. But most remarkable of all, due to the outstanding wealth of talent for dancing, pantomime, the new and extremely popular Statuary of Youth, Comedy and Drills, the exhibition put on by this year’s team is rated on a par with that of the 1925 Gymnasts. 122 Back Row — Ervin. Matulevicz, Hanson. Ward. Turner, Woodward, Kerley, Oermann, Brittingham, Greider, Kuseher Front Row — Hasler, Porozynski, Iverson, Seholz, Noble, Ricciardi. Bryant, Woytisek, Moyer, Judd In the realm of competition, the Juddmen split even. They scored an easy victory over M.I.T., 32-22. Porozynski and Seholz were the stars of this meet, scoring nine and eight points respectively. In the next and last dual meet, a strong Navy team defeated Springfield 46-8. However, the score belies the calibre of the Judd-coached Team, for the judges’ scores were very close. But competition is only a minor function of this versatile team. Besides the two meets mentioned above, the gymnasts have exhibited 19 times, in Y.M.C.A.’s, High Schools, Academies and Colleges throughout nine different states. Accompanying the team at all of these exhibitions was one of the best pianists ever to represent a Springfield Gymnastic Team. This exceptional musician was Max E rvin, from Pomona, California, and never once has there failed to be a flood of comment about his music after an exhibition. Graduation this year will take only three men off the squad. These are Captain Edwin Hasler, Arnold Porozynski, and Arthur Iverson. This will allow an exceptional wealth of material left for next year’s team. From all indications, the present freshman class should provide outstand- ing men to replace the outgoing seniors. The return of Joe Mixie from Europe next year will also benefit the team to a great extent. Yes, Coach Judd may well look forward to another successful season in 1937! 123 Coach Pennock, Manager Raimo, Captain Rosengren WRESTLING PARLY in January the squad combined a trip of snow sports in the Berkshire Mountains with an informal meet at Williamstown meeting the purple matmen. Promising sophomores came to the foreground for both teams as the matches progressed. Journeying to East Stroudsburg for the opening encounter of the year, the Springfield wrestlers showed considerable strength winning the meet by the score of 24 to 10. The Pedagogues fought valiantly but Corbin, Bohlinger, Belanich, Gould, Powers and Captain Rosengren came out as victors. Leaving Pennsylvania in a snow blizzard the Maroons next faced the New York West Side Y.M.C.A. grapplers. Experience and skill over- powered the college men with Captain Rosengren the only man emerging as a winner. The West Pointers were next hosts to the Springfield wrestlers. Once more the Maroons were vanquished by the score of 24 to 8. Powers in the 175 lb. class cleverly won by time advantage followed by Rosengren pinning his man. Harvard next faced the Maroons at West Gymnasium in a very success- ful manner, winning all but one match Captain Stoddard of Harvard 124 Back Row — Raimo, Bohlinger, Holden, Snow, Corbin, Pennock Second Row — Hampson, George, English, Kiernan, Kingsley, Hawkes, Sargeant First Row — Belanieh, Gould, Powers, Rosengren, Coons was the victim of Belanieh in the 135 lb. class the latter winning in an overtime period. Brown next visited the campus. Corbin, Powers and Rosengren kept the Maroons in competition. A close match was anticipated between Scott of Springfield and Lathrope of Brown when in the first two minutes o f the maich Scott injured his cervical vertebra. The fray ended with Brown 19 and Springfield 15. On February 22nd Tufts, the previous year’s New England Champion, wrestled the fighting Springfield matmen before a large holiday crowd. The day before the match Coach Pennock was taken ill which certainly handicapped the team. Tufts, always a strong aggregation, downed the local men by the score of 25 1 2 to 6 1 o. The Springfield men stinging from these defeats went to Cambridge to face M.l.T. Th e men came through with a victory in a strong manner with the score ending 24 to 8. The stage had been set for the N.E.I.W.A. at Providence, and Spring- field entered with the spirit that the top was none too good. This spirit made the tournament interesting and when the awards were given, Gould and Rosengren received championship medals. There is only Powers graduating this year and under the leadership of co-captains elect Belanieh and Gould the team has a bright future. 125 INDOOR TRACK RAVELING to the Boston Gardens early in the season the team par- ticipated in the Knights of Columbus Meet. Middlebury, Worcester Tech, and Massachusetts State College provided us with real competition. In the mile relay the team, composed of Russell, De Baun, Dattola and Boyden, took third place with time of 3:40. It was a very close race and an exciting one from the spectator’s point of view. The second meet also found the team in Boston, this time at the Hunting- ton Avenue Y. M. C. A. The same team, working with more experience and assurance improved their time and made second place in the 1200 yard relay. In the 600 yard run Dattola, demonstrating the effect of se- rious training, took third place. 126 Standing — Rimany, Royce, King, DeBaun, Kopf, Thompson, Hamlin. Morgan, Mosher, Rothacher Kneeling — Plumb, Russell, DatLola, Boyden. Smith. Mercer, Slifkus The B.A.A. Games at the Boston Gardens next claimed the attention of our track team. We entered the mile relay with the same team, com- peting with Worcester Tech and Massachusetts State. After a very fast and close race it was determined that Massachusetts State had won by inches and Springfield had to be content with second place. Their time of 3:38 indicated considerable improvement. Working hard under unfavorable conditions the team did a good job. Coach Rothacher’s tutelage and Captain Boyden’s fine enthusiasm ac- counted for much of the team’s success. It is felt that the training of the Indoor Track season has some effect on the Track Team in the Spring. Undoubtedly the conditioning and training of the men during the Winter has a definite carry-over value. The outlook for next year s Indoor Track season is promising. Many of the more experienced and capable men are Juniors allowing them another year of varsity work. 127 I t; ! 1 1 f ! t inini I i| I I : � • ffl || ' i i j 1 ■ i t? i, . i ;f ■ j If f| pn It |1 Jr ,; • . i P ■; ||fl||l 1 i f I | I 1 l|| 1 {• f.
