Glee Club nrn n s s n . s o J Class of 1940 Looking back over the fleeting horizon of four wonderful years well spent, we recall as freshmen the anxiety, curiosity, and interest with which we first entered the sacred portals of higher learning. We were, naturally enough, confronted with a host of bewildering problems. Would college be worth while? Could we make the grade? Could we successfully adjust ourselves to this new pattern of life which we had assumed? These were a few of the endless stream of questions which were continually punctuating our thoughts. But, as with all things, these first hectic days passed swiftly as we underwent the rigors of psychological and physical examinations. This first year witnessed the development of a cohesive class spirit which was gradually moulded through faculty receptions, athletics, class gather- ings, and bull sessions. As sophomores we experienced the pleasant realization that the solu- tions to our freshman problems were gradually taking shape. Active partic- ipation in the life of the college, participation in the classroom, in varsity and recreational sports, and in extra-curricular activities — these and scores of other enduring activities added a taint of reality to our freshman dreams. As juniors and upper classmen we shouldered new and welcomed responsibilities, for it was in this memorable year that we published the Massasoit and conducted a highly successful Junior Prom. These were perhaps the highlights of our accomplishments during our first three years of college life. As we had experienced many changes in our modes of living up to this stage of our college career, so, too, did the college itself pass through a period of transition. Many new faces were to be seen among the faculty, and physically the campus changed greatly. But now, with a somewhat disheartening realization of the transitory nature of our previous three years, we looked forward to our senior year, the pinnacle of our college days. At last, as seniors, we have successfully met many of our problems. We have tried to do so in a co-operative and appreciative manner. To the majority of us no other experience has been so enriching and indelible as our college experience. As seniors we elicit a strong reluctance to depart with this experience, not because of any uncertainty concerning the future, but because we feel that our associations at Springfield can never be replaced.

With the able assistance of Prof. Robert Bigelow and Prof. William Simpson a number of outstanding activities were promoted. All class activity this year was aimed toward the crowning event in the junior calendar — the Junior Promenade. Capitalizing on the fall Home- coming Day, the class opened the year ' s program with the Homecoming Hop. The largest crowd of the past three years danced to the music of Bob England and his Dons. The Decoration Committee under the leadership of Fred Janes did a fine piece of work in beautifying the West Gym for the occasion. Before the Christmas season the class realized the lack of appropriate decorations on the campus and decided to try and add to the spirit and thought behind the Christmas season. Accordingly A1 Proiette, assisted by a capable committee, strung the shrubbery in front of the Foyer with colored lights and placed red lights in the front of Alumni Hall to form a cross. Although these decorations were but a small beginning, the class sincerely hopes that succeeding classes will catch the spirit prompting the act and carry on this project. Harold Lynch and Charles Christy evolved a worth-while and beautiful piece of work in the college calendar, which was the next campus project carried out by the class. These calendars combined a fine selection of campus views with a numerical calendar and enjoyed a ready sale on the campus. Proceeds from this project, as well as from the initial dance of the year, were put into a special fund to be used for the Junior Prom. The Prom is now an event of the past and its success will long be remembered. Great credit should be given Chuck Christy and the members of his Prom committee for their long and untiring work to produce this outstanding social event which has made the junior year one to remember for many years to come. With the publication of the Massasoit, the class activities of ' 41 are through for the year. The junior year has been busy but memorable — next year should be even more so.

How cool it was up in the stratosphere! The only drawback was that there were no freshmen to reason with. Then came Freshman Camp, where we had a highly enjoyable ten days and elected our officers for the coming year. Fred Eyster was chosen president; David Atwood, vice-president; Carl Boberg, secretary; and Joe Goodner, treasurer. In the fall we reassembled, our ranks somewhat depleted, it ' s true, but still sufficient unto the task of showing the frosh their rightful place in the Springfield firmament. Initiation week we highly enjoyed ourselves. High points of that week turned out to be the Wednesday evening stunt night and laking party, and the march to the City Hall, where Mayor Putnam welcomed the lowly frosh. At the Rope Pull our class hove to with a will and gave the huskies of ' 43 a cold bath which will long remain as a pleasant memory to us and probably not too pleasant a memory to them. Our athletes accounted themselves well in every sport and did much to aid in bringing victory to Springfield ' s Maroon banners. Inter-class athletics brought new laurels to the class throughout the year. But now two delightful college years have gone the way all things must go and we find ourselves preparing to climb another rung in the ladder of further education as we attain the rank of juniors. We all hope that our successes in this third year will be as great and as far reaching as the classes who have gone before and that perhaps we may add a little some- thing to the creation of a better Springfield.

For the first five days we were guided by a group of friendly upper classmen who introduced us to the intricacies of the new life we had assumed. Those first few days will stand out in our memory as a bewildering avalanche of physical and mental tests, interspersed with hot-dog roasts, visits to the local exposition, and innumerable other lively functions. Our peaceful existence was abruptly shattered with the coming of the upper classmen who, with their scrutinizing appraisal, caused us to feel like zoological specimens. They lost little time in impressing upon us our status in the student body. Classes began, and we soon found ourselves harried by lengthy assignments, desperately trying to master the scientific terminology of biology and chemistry. The main problem that faced us was that of completing all the work given us and to still find time to sleep — and with only twenty-four hours in a dayl Freshman week came and our woes were no longer confined to aca- demic lore. Ingenious tortures devised by the upper classmen were inflicted upon us for the purpose of determining whether or not we were worthy of a place in the assembly of students. To test our physical capacities we were called forth and attached to one end of a rope which extended across a river and was decorated on the other end by the sophomore class. We were told to pull. Manl Was that water cold! But what we lacked in brute strength for the rope pull, we made up in the superb demonstrations of skill in inter- class football and basketball, winning both by comfortable margins. With December came the day of reckoning — our first final exams. Groggy from this experience, we left the halls of learning for the Christmas holidays. In January we returned with new vigor and a firm determination to surpass the work of the previous term. A successful basketball team and a well-attended Valentine ' s dance highlighted the winter activities. During the months we have spent on the Springfield campus we have gradually become imbued with a sincere loyalty to the Alma Mater of our adoption. We have come to know the spirit and traditions of Springfield and all they represent, and we take great pleasure in the realization that they are ours to carry on. We acknowledge our gratitude to the faculty for its untiring efforts on our behalf and to the members of the other classes for the co-operation and friendliness they have shown us. We look forward to three more years of what will probably be the happiest days of our lives, and we live in the hope that we will be able to do our part in the develop- ment of a greater Springfield.

Activities began with the nomination of committees to handle student discipline, freshman- sophomore relations, open house, care of bulletin boards, etc. During its term of office the Council handled such matters as transference of concessions to store control; payment of old debts; improving telephone service; supervision of Freshman Week plans and Freshman Code; support of Retreat; solving cafeteria and store problems; setting Student Association fee and budgeting its expenditure by the governing boards; Student Association forums; music contest; awarding of charms; open hous e periods; dormitory visitors; library problems; and student government elections. Serving as vice-president until October, 1939, John Wydro left the college to study at the University of Hawaii. His position was filled by Ray Cook, whose office was in turn filled by Lynford Keyes. Among the more memorable events of the Student Council were the meetings and suppers enjoyed at the homes of Dr. and Mrs. Best and Dr. and Mrs. Thompson. Tim (0 s s m s o jj 1 Social Activities Board The Social Activities Board this year has attempted to further democratize the function of club management on the campus. They are in the process of forming an inter-club council to be composed of club presidents and dele- gates from the various campus organizations. This council will be an advisory group acting as a counseling agent in the functions of the Social Activities Board. One of its functions will be to promote a larger membership and participation in the club life of the college. The president of the Social Activities Board for the 1939-40 season has been Dr. Ernest Wiesle. George Johnson ' 40 was vice-president; Edward Shea ' 41, secretary; Dr. C. Leonard Hoag, treasurer; and Dr. Hugo Thompson, executive secretary. Members-at-large include Frank Cooley, Curtis Gaylord, Gordon Lippitt, and William MacClennan. Dr. Leonard Larson and Mr. Bernard Townsend comprised the properties committee. im fi .s s n s, o j Athletic Board The Athletic Board this past year has carried on its usually active pro- gram. The board was formed in the re-organization of the Student Council. It consists of members of the Health and Physical Education Faculty, Arts Faculty, and the student body. The purpose of the Athletic Board is to pro- mote a better athletic program for the college, study existing athletic situations, and attempt through careful analysis and planning to give to the college the greatest amount of diversified athletic activity to as many students as possible. This past year lacrosse was reinstated as a varsity sport by the board. Rowing was introduced into the athletic program of the college for the first time. Coach Paul Stagg was president of the board during the 1939-40 season, Victor Obeck of the class of ' 40 was vice-president. Treasurer was the finan- cial adviser of the school, Bernard Townsend, while the position of secretary was filled by Carl Fetz, a member of the class of 1941. Members include Abraham Friedman ' 42, Robert Mortenson ' 40, Dr. Fred Bratton, Dr. John Brock, and Prof. Leslie Judd. Tin fl S ,S (n 5. (TD � Alpha Phi Omega Gamma Eta Chapter, the Springfield College chapter of Alpha Phi Omega — national Scout service fraternity — officially launched its career on the twenty-first day of February, 1940. Even before the fraternity was officially recognized, however, it had successfully completed its first major service project on the campus, namely, the publishing of the 1939-40 edition of the Springfield College Directory. Ralph Carleton ' 40 and Alex MacDonald ' 40 acted as editors of that publication. The highlight of the local chapter ' s program thus far was the induction ceremony in which several regional and national Scout officials participated. Other outstanding activities conducted by the Springfield Chapter included the invitation tendered five hundred Scouts of the Hampden County area to witness the C. C. N. Y. — Springfield football game last fall and the open meeting ' ' at which Ernest Thompson Selon, outstanding student of American Indian life, was the guest speaker. Alpha Phi Omega has as its stated purpose to assemble college men in the fellowship of the Scout oath and law ... to develop friendship and to promote service to humanity. M. I. T. and Springfield are Ihe only two colleges in New England where chapters of this fraternity are in existence. Officers include Wm. McClennan, president; Myron Smith, vice-president; Alex MacDonald, secretary; Frank Parker, treasurer; and Kenneth Higgs, historian. Tin in s s n 5) o ji ■ .,i .h i t y . . ' i Aquatic Club The Aquatic Club, organized last year in an attempt to promote interest in aquatics on the campus, this past year has conducted a successful program. Its outstanding achievement during the winter term was the sponsoring of the Surfboard Shuffle, ' ' by now an annual affair, which was well attended by students and faculty alike. The clever publicity on this affair for the second year presaged a pleasureable dance. Commodore for the 1939-40 season was Court Pierce ' 41. Harry Rawstrom ' 40 acted as assistant comimodore, Myron Smith ' 40 was the scribe, Lynford Keyes ' 41 assumed the duties of purser, and William Eck ' 41 was chosen historian A spring dance was recently held by the group and this event marked the close of their social calndar for the year. Officers for the coming year are Lynford Keyes ' 41 as commodore, Her- bert Fransen ' 42 as assistant commodore, Edward Smythe ' 43 is the scribe, Archie Pincombe will act as purser, while the historian will be Girvan Milligan. Members of the club include: William Antilla Thomas Guthrie Robert Parsons Walter Bally Jake Jacobus Archie Pincombe Arthur Beck Edward Jorgensen Dick Pohndorf James Berry Ed Keyes Harry Rawstrom James Church Howard Keating Sheldon Raynes James Cook Louis Kustis William Samotis Frank Deyoe Edward Leech Edward Shea Kenneth Dustin George Sinick Edward Smythe William Eck John Lysak Myron Smith Norman Fenn Dan Lotz Richard Stickney Jack Fiske Joseph Mallen Fred Watson Carl Fetz Girvan Milligan James Lineberger Herb Fransen Howard Murray Tin n -S s n 5, o i Cosmopolitan Club The Springfield College Cosmopolitan Club is dedicated to the extension of international friend- ship and good-will and is composed of an equal ratio of students from abroad and American students. The club has a membership of 55. This organization enjoys meetings and outings with Smith and Mount Holyoke Colleges, visits faculty homes, sponsors a convocation program, provides a deputations service to local groups desiring to secure speakers, and furnishes entertainment for near-by civic groups. The organiza- tion ' s chief functions are of a social nature and its leaders are active in all phases of campus life. Many of the students in the club devote much of their time to speaking before interested groups. In the spring the outings held with Smith and Mount Holyoke Colleges are considered the highlight of the spring season. The club recently adopted a song, The Glow of Springfield ' s Light, the words of which were written by Mrs. Edgar M. Robinson, wife of E. M. Robinson, who is interested in the club ' s work. The music for the club song was composed by H. C. N. de Lanerolle of Ceylon. Included in the countries represented in the club are Australia, Canada, China, Hawaii, Philippines, New Zealand, Siam, Norway, Bulgaria, and Sweden. Throughout the year work groups have been engaged in transforming the fifth floor of the Administration Building into an international room to be used for social purposes. The club enjoys a yearly visit to the First Church of Longmeadow, where the hospitality of Longmeadow homes is enjoyed, followed by an international night in the evening. The officers of the club are; President Clive Smith, Perth, Australia Vice-President Harry Quincy, Mount Vernon, N. Y. Secretary Rodney J. McMahon, Meriden, Conn. Treasurer Berthol Hindal, Stavanger, Norway Social Chairman Larry Moyse, Australia nni n -S s n s CD i -Ai. The Springfield Dons Under the capable baton wielding of Bob England the Dons have just completed their fourth season. Again this year they have fully sustained their reputation as one of the leading collegiate dance orchestras in New England. This has been for the Dons an unusually active season. They have played at many New England colleges, including Mount Holyoke, Worcester Tech, Amherst, and Westfield State Teachers ' College. Needless to say, their appearance at college dances has been frequent and enjoyable here at Springfield. New Year ' s Eve, England and his group played at the Bridgeport, Conn., Y.M.C.A., where they were well received by more than four hundred people. Bob England will continue as the leader of the Dons for the next two years and it is quite evident that the orchestra will continue to live up to the high standard established by Earl O ' Niell and Lefty Lyford, past leaders. nn n -S s fn s o j Dramatic Club Director President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer Stage Manager . . , Publicity Director. . , • William T. Simpson . . , Henry L, Finn, Jr. , . Dermot A. Dollar . . C. Howard Coding WaPer Simon Lloyd Gibson The Dramatic Club under the able direction of Prof. William T. Simpson again put on a successful joint production with the Westfield State Teachers ' College of Westfield, Mass. This joint production has become an annual affair, and one that is looked forward to with much interest on the part of the men of Springfield. The production this year was Ladies of the Jury by Fred Ballard. The male lead, the foreman of the jury, was played by Gordon Lippitt of the class of ' 42. Ably aiding and abetting by serving on the jury were Alfred Proiette of the class of ' 41 as a real estate agent, Joe Palmier! of the class of ' 42 as a breezy young Greek candy-store proprietor, Reed Baker of the class of ' 42 as a World War veteran, George Passey of the class of ' 42 as an old Scotch gardener, and James Sims of the class of ' 40 as a young poet. The other men of the cast were C. Howard Coding of the class of ' 40 as judge, Dermot A. Dollar of the class of ' 40 as the prosecuting attorney, John W. North of the class of ' 42 as attorney for the defense, George Carpenter, Jr., of the class of ' 43 as Dr. James, a witness, Kenneth Landis of the class of ' 40 as the court officer, Archie Pincombe of the class of ' 42 as the clerk of the court, Russell Hatch of the class of ' 41 as a waiter, and Robert Allen of the class of ' 42 as a waiter. The less glamorous part of the production was exceedingly well handled by President Henry Finn as business manager, Walter Simon, Tom Guthrie, and Emile Faubert as property men, and Lloyd Gibson as publicity man. “Chief ' ' Simpson as well as the men above were deeply grateful of the aid given them by Miss Judith Carlson as assistant director, prompter, and general aid-de-camp. The plans of the club call for a production in the spring with women from the city furnishing the actresses; and a short production at the time of gradua- tion as is usually the custom. JTtJLSL-SLJDLii. OJ International Relations Club Under the energetic direction of Rod MacMahon, the International Rela- tions Club this year has sponsored a number of outstanding activities and participated in many conferences and events which have served to enhance Springfield ' s reputation as a truly international college. Programs held throughout the year stressed current foreign problems and speakers were obtained with a purpose of discovering the truth about our neighbors across the sea. A Bowl of Rice supper was held to raise money for the Chinese refugees. Debates were a popular part of the year ' s program and featured such topics as Should the Dies Committee Be Continued? and Problems of the British Empire, to name a few. Delegates were sent to many conferences in and around New England, including the New England Conference on Foreign Affairs, New England Conference of International Relations, and the delegation to the American Youth Congress, headed by Rod MacMahon, which undoubtedly aroused the most interest when they returned to campus. The club sponsored Pan-American Day this spring. The celebration was in honor of the fiftieth anniversary of the Pan-American Union and featured movies of South America, speakers, and other fitting ceremonies. Dr. Mohler and Lyman Burbank deserve much commendation for their efforts in the club ' s behalf during the past season. The group has done much both at college and in New England to foster a better understanding of foreign affairs and the people involved. International good-will has been forwarded by their efforts. Tn o ,s s os o J -AL Junior Prom Committee The very successful Prom this year was due to the efforts of this com- mittee. Headed by Charles Christy ' 41, the gro up worked hard all winter to produce the biggest and best social event of the Springfield calendar on May 10. Carl Fetz ' 41 was in charge of the attractive favors which were given to the Prom-goers. Fred Janes engineered the decorations and headed a group which picked the hall for the Prom. Publicity was given the event by Harold Lynch. A most important aspect of the affair — the financial — was taken care of by Richard Stickney. Frank Smith and Frank Parker headed the group which selected the orchestra. This particular commission spent most of the winter term traveling about New England listening to bands under consideration. They conducted a student poll to get popular reaction on a number of possible orchestras and the final choice was based upon the results of that poll. The invitations and program committee was headed by Lynford Keyes, whose experience in this work was very evident in the efficient method by which these were purchased and distributed. im o 5 5 im ii) o J l Maroon Key Society The Maroon Key Society is functioning on campus as a service organiza- tion. It extends courtesy to visiting teams and organizations, tending to their needs while they stay at Springfield. This year for the first time the club held two dances. The first was the Maroon Key Swing, held last fall. The other was held after a basketball game last winter. This marks the initial attempt in an effort now being made to give the organization a social as well as a service function. Concurrent with this broadening of activity, a committee has been formed to draft a constitution for the club, no such governing statement ever having been made to guide its activ ities. This group hopes to complete the consti- tution next fall. The club this year, as in past years, acted as hosts at the Western Massa- chusetts Interscholastic Basketball Tournament, held in Westfield. It also arranged the accommodations for the Connecticut State Hi-Y Conference held on the Springfield campus in February. Plans for next year include the provision of members with jackets or some other means of identifying them. Edward McEwen ' 41 was president of the group during 1939-40. Vice- president was Samuel Schiffer ' 41, while George Stanton ' 41 acted as secre- tary-treasurer. Officers for the 1940-41 season include Louis Sakol ' 42 as president, Her- bert Franzen ' 42 as vice-president, and David Atwood ' 42, secretary. im n ,s s HI s o j Science Club During the past year the Science Club has attempted to bring to the campus men who are outstanding in scientific fields. The aim of the club has been to acquaint the students of our college with scientific progress in all fields and gain a new knowledge of progress in the world of science. The speakers have included distinguished physicians, surgeons, college professors, and public health experts and administrators. The club was represented on April 13th at the Connecticut Valley Scien- tific Congress which was held at Dartmouth. Membership is limited to upperclassmen having a B average in their science courses. Associate membership is granted to those students having less than a B average but showing a definite interest in science. Edward Shea ' 41 was president of the club for the 1939-40 season. Donald Clough ' 40 acted as vice-president and conference chairman. Louis Segalla ' 41 was secretary, while Minot Safford ' 40 served as treasurer. Dr. Rutenber was the faculty adviser. Members include James Syner, Lawrence D ' Elia, Milton Norling, Robert England, Wm. Schofield, George Linck, William Millward, Simon Ramah, Wil- liam Moore, Joseph Grosodonia, Jacques Jacobus, Stewart Izer, William Rappo- port, and Thomas Rohanick. Associate members include Norman Erederick, Carl Fetz, Joseph Palmieri, Daniel Riva, Walter Fowler, Raymond Cook, Frank Higginbotham, Bernard Empleton, Archie Pincombe, Julius Silvia, Richard Mardiros, Wilbur Shumway, Richard Foster, Robert Hall, Leon Doleva, Jack Rogers, Jim Dryden, John Pana- tier, Joseph Mallen, Louis Sakol, Russell Hewitt, Lee Wheelock, Ted Bailey, Albert Fong, Fred Kalenki, and William Samotis. Tin n .s s n 5, (TD j Student Staff The Student this year has evidenced considerable improvement over issues of former years. Under the leadership of Henry Mattice, editor, and Harold Lynch, managing editor, many new features have been incorporated, into the paper. These include more and better pictures, a new style of type, and a new front page make-up. Two new columns were introduced: One Man ' s Opinion by Harold Amos and Wandering with Waglow by Irving Waglow. The Warpath continued as a popular feature of each issue. A new and more democratic method of election was instituted this year in choosing the members of the staff. These elections resulted in the selection of Harold Lynch as the editor of the Student for the coming year and the election of William North ' 42 and Louis Kustis ' 42 as associate editors. 3TLiX S- S_j(CLS_0_J. Tea and Topics Club As the literary club of the college, the Tea and Topics Club endeavors to improve the cultural interest of the students, enlarge the literary knowledge and appreciation of its members, and to foster practical utilization of fhe English language. The club meetings are held off campus entirely and for the most part the club meets in the homes of the various professors of the college. The club sponsors several social activities. Included among these are the Hallowe ' en party, Freshman Camp night, co-ed night, and other parties. The club also participates in the Wagner Concerts, Junior League, and Y. M C. A. programs which are held at the Springfield Auditorium. The Tea and Topics Club is beneficial in its wide scope and welcomes members from all classes on campus to its weekly meetings. The officers for fhe past year are: President Harold Burke Vice-President Russ Whipple Secretary Gordon Lippitt Treasurer George Murphy MEMBERS Stuart Murphy John Regan A. K.

It conducted a vigorous initiation this past year which will long be remembered, especially by those who were initiated. Under the leadership of Vic Obeck, president, the club sponsored the Varsity Drag, a dance enjoyed by more than 150 couples. Prom week-end the club held a dinner and entertainment at Freshman Camp for members and their prom dates. Officers of the club for the 1939-40 season include President Obeck, Vice- president George Johnson, and Ken Landis, the secretary-treasurer.

Student Christian Association The Student Christian Association has a wide and varied program which aims to stimulate a religious experience that may be a foundation for Christian living. It also gives an opportunity to express ihe Christian ethic in social, moral, and religious living. Besides the regular meetings which deal with current Christian problems, the group has sponsored during the past year a number of active committees on special problems identified with Christian living. The first of these committees to function was that on the project of fresh- man orientation. Headed by Gordon Lippitt, this group tried to meet the needs of freshmen in adjusting themselves to college life. In conjunction with the Freshman Week program, the committee worked arranging meetings, speakers, and counseling with individuals regarding their college life. Clive Smith has done a notable piece of work in fulfilling the need ex- pressed in the 1939 Student Retreat for religious services on the campus. Vesper services have been held each Sunday in the Foyer. An attempt has been made at these services to introduce various methods of religious presen- tation so that students might become familiar with this type of work. Inter-faith relationships have been handled by a committee headed by Berthold Hindal. Several meetings were held and the various problems of different religious groups studied and considered. Bud Schuman has headed a committee to provide speakers for various religious groups in Springfield. This service has been welcomed by city churches. Very active was the Social Action Committee under Charles Jorgenson which has investigated pertinent problems as they have arisen on our campus m o. 5 jo o 1 Glee Club The Glee Club started their season successfully the first week in October by singing before 2,000 teachers from Hampden County at the Auditorium. Immediately following this concert the club welcomed many freshmen into their ranks. From this group has come the fine quartet which has been singing about the campus this year. Also from the freshman class has come Ken McEwen, the possessor of one of the finest tenor voices it has been our pleasure to hear, who won his spurs as a soloist from the start. These men added to the men who remained from last year gave Madame Jackson an exceptional group of singers to direct. After the first of the year the club fulfilled several engagements around the city. On April 5 and 6 the boys went on their trip to New Brunswick and New York. Needless to say the boys gave a fine account of themselves and made a fine impression for the college in that area. And that area made a fine impression on the boys — lots of Southern belles (South Jersey belles). Since this was the first tour the boys have taken in two years it was appre- ciated by all alike and served as a fitting reward to the men who have been faithful to the club over these lean years.

Crew Race By BERNARD EMPLETON Eight broad backs at the long oars bent, The Cox ' n keen as a hound on scent, Waiting the blast of the starting shot To bend to the race while the trail is hot. The gun roars loud, the backs unbend. Eight men as one into action blend. Like a hunting shaft from the long bow fled. The slim craft down the course is sped. Muscled as hard as the seasoned oak Is the man who holds the seat as stroke. And he bends like a Trojan at his oar To raise the pace to five beats more. The brawny lads who file behind Muster new strength to meet the grind; Straining to answer the leader ' s call. They lean on the sweeps and give their all. The Cox ' n ' s stroke 1 — slide! — in! — out! Shrills above his rival ' s shout; The eddies swirl to a foaming wake As the graceful shell flies down the lake. Think not, lads, that the race is yours; How the other boys do ply those oars! They ' re giving the last bright burst of strength In a rally to gain a winning length. It ' s tuck and go at the finish line; Tired bodies glisten with sweaty brine; Sinews and heart and brain are full Of the cadenced rhythm of glide and pull. The rudder-grips in frenzy beat Staccato beside the Cox ' n ' s seat. With one great burning bid for speed Her long hull leaps into the lead. Cheers from the crowd on the wooded shore Sound in their ears like a mighty roar; Faint and far through the greening trees It dies away in the soft spring breeze. Eight lusty lads have won today, Eight have lost in the rowing fray; But win or lose, for someone must. The race was keen, the trial just.

State Aggies invaded Pratt Field to pry the lid off the 1939 season. By the light of portable Mazdas a large crowd saw the Stalers hold the Staggmen to a 0 to 0 count. Both teams threatened but neither was capable of a score. Muhlenberg, a newcomer to the Maroon football schedule, entertained the team on October 7. The final was 7 to 3 with the Mules on top. Bitter cold weather met the Maroons at Potsdam N. Y., when they went there October 14 for a tilt with the Engineers of Clarkson Tech. With little or no luck on their side, Stagg ' s gridmen rushed the Green and Gold all over the field throughout the game only to have a last period field goal decide the margin of a 3 to 0 victory for Clarkson. The University of New Hampshire Wildcats first felt the shng of the Maroon victory quest when they fell by a baseball score of 3 to 2 in the second of the season ' s after dark contests. Providence next succumbed to the Maroons by a 13 to 0 score as Tom Johnson scored the first touchdown of the campaign to give an early lead, following which Bob Parmelee blocked a Friar kick and Captain Dick Redding grabbed it and dashed over for a score. For the third straight season Tom Johnson proved the menace to any hopes that the North- eastern Huskies might have had for a victory over the Springfield footballers as he scored two touchdowns, one on a 63-yard gallop to Dave Grinnell, pile driving little bucker, and scored the other tally on a 25-yard run to complete the scoring in the 19 to 13 conquest. Homecoming Day brought a new foe to Pratt Field in the form of Benny Freidman ' s C. C. N, Y. grid forces, but their journey from the big city was in vain as the Staggmen broke out in the greatest scoring rash in several years and snowed the Blue and Gold under a 26 to 0 score. Long runs and aerial plays were the features of the day as Tom Johnson scored first on a 40-yard run following the completion of a pass from Ben Hargrave. A C. C. N. Y. fumble provided the next score as Capt. Dick Redding tallied the second touchdown of his intercollegiate career when a City back fumbled high in the air and Redding grabbed it to run 18 yards for the score. George Johnson, blocking back, ran 60 yards with a pass for the next score, and Gurney, sub quarter, intercepted a pass for the last score. Journeying to New Brunswick to engage the undefeated scarlet of Rutgers, the Maroons were forced to take the short end of a 17 to 7 score, a late last quarter aerial providing the Springfield point production. im (0 ,s .s, o 5. o ji Varsity Soccer Springfield College marched on to further honors on the soccer field this year when Coach John D. Brock ' s varsity men played eight consecutive contests without defeat and were declared champions of New England. After dropping the initial contest of the season to Cortland, the Maroons rapidly regained their stride and at the close of the season they were rated by some writers as the strongest team in the country. The forward line of Mortenson, Munro, Gray, Brown, and Condon showed supreme strength and spent most of its time threatening opposing goalies with a barrage of leather. This season marked the second New England championship conquest by a Springfield team in the past three years. The Maroons beat Temple, a team that tied Penn. State, which was a contender for national honors. After losing their first game of the season to a crazy-to-win Cortland Teachers outfit in a road contest, the Brockmen went through the remainder of the season undefeated. A late rally proved too much for the Army at West Point and Springfield returned to the campus with a well-earned 4 to 2 victory. The Big Green of Dartmouth was the next foe on the schedule and after a rather drab showing in the early part of the game the men of Brock came to life and submerged the boys from Hanover 3 to 2. Local fans and students got their first opportunity to see this champion- ship aggregation the following week when Mass. State offered the opposition. The Maroons were definitely in good form and easily shut out the Statemen 2 to 0. In the next battle Springfield traveled to S torrs, Conn., where Connec- ticut University failed to stop the onrushing Indians, who gained a 3 to 1 victory. A fighting R. P. I. team engaged Springfield on Pratt Eield in the next attraction and succeeded in marring the Maroon record in achieving a 2 to 2 deadlock. The Harvard contingent offered the Brockmen worthy opposition at Cambridge, but Springfield fought hard and won 2 to 1 over a team that last year edged them out for New England honors. Mass. Tech proved an easy match for the Carleton-led warriors and were submerged 6 to 1. In the closest contest of the season the Maroons garnered a 1 to 0 triumph over Temple at Philadelphia. Babb was the hero who scored the winning marker. As characteristic of .Springfield teams, team strength was the feature of the Maroon attack. Captain Carleton proved to be an excellent leader, and iTii.(nL-S jO. o i it is expected that Captain-elect Bud Gray will lead his mates next year in similar manner. Seven seniors will be lost by graduation, but several promis- ing juniors and sophomores, Gaylord, Stanton, Powley, Peterson, Ruhmshottel, are expected to fill these vacancies.

Not showing just in the scores, but rather in a close analysis of the results, one finds that the Springfield team did noble against some of the strongest cross-country teams in New England. Prospects are extremely bright for next year. Badrow Shines Among the stand-outs on this year ' s team was Ned Badrow, winner of three meets and a course record setter in two of these three races. Although hampered by injuries, he was outstanding all season and he was rewarded for his efforts by being elected to captain next year ' s team. Injuries were also common among the rest of the team, but they failed to allow this drawback to overcome their running accomplishments. Coach Bliss Sargeant, who nursed the team into fine physical condition, proved an inspirational leader, as did Dan Riva, captain of the team, who was riddled with injuries. The team dropped decisions to Wesleyan, Trinity, and Mass. State and scored their lone victory against Amherst. The Springfield harriers came home with twelfth place in the New England championships and coasted in with fourth place in the Connecticut Valley championships. Prospects for next season are extremely bright with many of the unde- feated freshman team expected to join the Maroon forces.

Although facilities and time were limited, the squad showed a great interest in the activity and engaged in four meets during the season. Coach Clayton Plummer, who coached the freshman cross-country team to the Connecticut Valley championship title, acted as coach of this new sport. The first meet of the season was with Mass. State, in which the Maroon trackmen scored a total of 34 points to their opponents ' 56. Jack Dunphy of Springfield was the star of that meet, scoring 1 1 points by winning the 35-yard dash and gaining seconds in the hurdles and 300-yard run. Jackson in the high jump, Piligian in the broad jump. Bowser in the pole vault, Landis and Freedman in the shot put, and Taylor in the mile were other Springfield men who scored markers. The second event of the season for the Springfield trackmen was the Connecticut Valley championships, which were won by Connecticut University. The Maroons placed fourth in this competition, in which Amherst, Mass. State, Connecticut University, M. I. T., and Springfield were participants. Dunphy in the dash and Landis in the shot put were outstanding for the Springfield cause. A strong Amherst College team defeated Springfield in the third meet on the Maroon schedule. Norm Piligian scored seconds in both the broad jump and 880-yard run and Roy Lang, Jack Jackson, and Ken Landis all won similar honors in their respective events. Illness prevailed over the Springfield team on the eve of the meet with Wesleyan and Lang, Taylor, Finn, and Landis were all unable to compete. Dunphy scored a double in the dash and low hurdles and with only six men in competition the Maroon trackmen scored a total of 19 1 2 points. Coach Plummer was well pleased with the performances of his proteges and feels confident that before long Springfield will become a leading contender for New England honors. The progress of the team was definitely handicapped by lack of a suitable cage for practice and the team is indebted to near-by colleges who allowed them the use of excellent indoor facilities. Most of the members of the team are sophomores and prospects for next season are bright.

Coach E. J. Hickox, who came out of retirement to coach the Maroons, proved he still has the knack of producing champions. Following the regular season the Hickoxmen journeyed out to Indianapolis as the New England representatives in the competition to determine the national collegiate champion. The Maroons met Indiana University in the first round and lost to the lanky Hoosiers, 48 to 24. Indiana went on to win the national title. Highlight of the season was a thrilling contest with C. C. N. Y., which Springfield won after two action-crammed overtime periods, 40 to 37. Early in December Springfield traveled to Wesleyan and scored their first victory of the season, 38 to 27. The local netmen showed fine form against Pratt and won 50 to 45. Disaster hit the Maroon path in the game against St. John ' s of Brooklyn and the New York boys romped off with a close 42 to 39 victory. Following the St. John ' s loss the Springfield leather pushers scored five straight victories over Hofstra, Mass. State, Worcester Tech, Williams, and Providence in that order. Basketeers from Boston upset the Maroon ship in the next contest with Tufts College, 48 to 43. Following this defeat Springfield went through the remaining nine games on the schedule without a setback. In road contests Northeastern, Boston University, Middlebury, St. Michael ' s, Vermont, and New Hampshire fell before the march of the men of Hickox and Providence, C. C. N. Y., and Cortland suffered defeats on Springfield ' s home court. The post-season clash with Indiana was a fitting tribute to the splendid record the Springfield team made during the regular season. On receiving the bid Coach Hickox was extremely happy because he said he felt that his boys deserved such national recognition. Smokey Mortenson, that five-foot-plus bundle of speed from down Boston way, led the Maroons in the scoring column with 160 markers. It is interesting to note that no individual on the team was a competitor for New England high scoring honors. The secret of the success of this year ' s aggregation was team play. Captain A1 Werner proved an excellent leader and saw more service than any of the Springfield regulars. Bruce Munro, hampered by a shoulder injury, found the range during the latter part of the season and scored more points for the time he played than any other player. The height of Kistner, Panatier, and MacVean, aided by the aggressiveness of Redding, Mortenson, Munro, and Schmidt, and the steady floor play of Werner and Gray, combined to give Springfield College one of the finest teams in recent years. 3nrijDL. s_iiLS iiJ. Tn (R .s s n s o j Varsity Exhibition Team — 1939-1940 Having decided to undertake an extensive trip during the Christmas vaca- tion, Coach Leslie ludd called out his men earlier than usual in the fall term and a large and enthusiastic group immediately started serious practice. The Christmas trip was an unqualified success, 2,200 miles being covered in 14 days, and many new friends being won for the college in mid- western states, where the team had never before exhibited. Crowded houses and enthusiastic receptions were the rule all along the trip. Places visited on this trip were Amsterdam, N. Y.; Rochester, N. Y.; St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada; Niagara Falls; Detroit, Mich.; Evanston, 111.; Olean, N. Y.; and Toledo, Ohio. For the regular season, starting in January, the squad was in top form physically and gave high quality exhibitions throughout the schedule. As on the Christmas trip, large audiences packed gymnasiums and auditoriums to see the athletes who had been glorified by a feature Pathe newsreel short, Men of Muscle, and depicted in Life magazine. National and international publicity gave the team a tremendous amount of prestige and on two occa- sions, Utica, N. Y., and Concord, N. H., people had to be turned away, so large was the crowd. The annual home exhibition was held at the Springfield Municipal Audi- torium before an audience of over 2,000 people, and was one of the outstand- ing shows given locally in years. The college Glee Club co-operated with the team in furnishing musical selections during intermission. Among the numbers were the Indian hoop ceremonial dance, spectacular group balanc- ing, the ever-popular long horse leaping, and the internationally famous Statuary of Youth. The team officially closed their activities for the season with a sensational triumph in the New England A. A. U. championships held at Providence. The Springfield team captured seventeen medals in retaining the title they won last year. Len Covello in the horizontal bar and parallel bars, and Roger Burke and Jack Farquhar in the junior and senior tumbling competition, all gained top honors. Bagian, Friedman, Rappaport, Blanchard, Matousek, Lewis, and Newstrom were other Springfield men to gain recognition. Tini e .s 5, n .s (Ti) li 13 BE BES Varsity Swimming The 1940 swimming season proved to be one of the most successful enjoyed by a Springfield tank team in many years. Under the capable guidance of Coach Charlie Silvia and the driving spirit of Captain Harry Rawstrom the team won five out of nine meets. Stiff competition was encoun- tered all along the route, combining thrills and disappointments for swimmers and loyal followers alike. The first home meet, against Williams, was, no doubt, the most spectacular and exciting one of the season. College and New England records were broken and rebroken, being led by Captain Rawstrom, who climaxed his third season of varsity competition by setting New England records in the 220- and 440-yd. freestyle events for both the 60- and 75-foot pools. Ed Jorgensen, a sophomore, broke the 300-yd. individual medley record which was set in 1934 by Coach Silvia. During the season both college and varsity records were broken in the 440-yd. freestyle by Captain Rawstrom, in the 150-yd. backstroke by Ed Shea, in the 200-yd. breaststroke by Archie Pincombe, in the 300-yd. medley relay by Milligan, Pincombe, and Lotz, and in the 400-yd. freestyle relay by Lotz, Beck, Hatch, and Rawstrom. In the New England championships at Williamstown, Springfield turned out to be the dark horse in beating a favored Williams team, and losing only to Brown. Springfield was represented in the National Collegiate Championship Meet at Yale by Captain Rawstrom, Ed Leech, Dan Lotz, Ed Shea, and Archie Pincombe. Although losing the services of five seniors. Captain Harry Rawstrom, Condon, Lee, Murphy, and Murray, Coach Silvia is looking forward to another successful season through a fine array of sophomore and junior talent. SCHEDULE Spfld. Opp. Spfld.

Entries were from Harvard, Dartmouth, Boston University, M. 1. T., Tufts, Williams, Amherst, Wesleyan, and Springfield College. Springfield entries included Captain Knowles, Rogers, Daniels, Schuman, Jacobus, Mattice, Beseigel, See, Wilkins, Walker, Spaulding, Dening, and Grant. Rogers won the 128-lb. championship after completing his first year of wrestling. Beseigel showed fine form in winning the 145-lb. title and Walker captured the 165-lb. crown after a hard struggle. Grant and Spaulding, both Springfield men, wrestled for the 175-lb. championship and Grant was the winner by a decision. Knowles took third place in the 136-lb. class and Dening scored third in the 145-lb. division. Injuries hampered the Maroon forces in the early part of the season, but they rallied in the latter part of the schedule to finish a successful season. Dick Walker went through the season unbeaten and was elected captain of next year ' s team. Beseigel was defeated only by Potter of Williams, who won the 155-lb. wreath. Prospects for next season are extremely bright with many promising frosh fighting for berths. Captain Bill Knowles will be the only regular lost through graduation in June.

This was a fast, tight game which the Alumni won in the closing seconds on a basket by Tracy. im o .s -S mi s o II -Ai. Varsity Baseball — 1940 At this writing the Springfield College baseball squad is practicing diligently for the opening battle of the season with Assumption College on Elmer Berry Field, May 9. On the annual Southern trip held during the spring vacation the Maroons won one and lost three. Coach DeGroat was well pleased with the showing of his charges and feels that his present squad will develop into a powerful unit. Wet grounds have hampered the Maroons in early season practice and the weather hasn ' t been too favorable. Ray Schmidt, sensational speedball artist, will be back for duty this season. He should find the going somewhat easier because his teammates have shown an improvement in their batting, which was woefully weak last season. Behind the plate will be the dependable Red Watson, who is one of the heaviest hitters on the team. Captain Bunny Chapman will cover the keystone sack and Hover and Montgomery are possibilities for the vacancies at short stop and third base left by Fenton and Gray. Poskitt and MacVean are also vieing for these two positions. Dick Sission, Jack Scott, and John Panatier are candidates for the first base berth. Keith Galef, Fen Morton, Stu Izer, Bob Miller, and Tom Johnson are other pitchers who will see considerable service this season. Gibney, Fredericks, Sakai, Redding, and Dodge are seeking outfield positions. Approximately forty candidates are out for the team and no definite squad has been picked to date.

The Maroons will have five of their six meets at Pratt Field this season. The outstanding meet will be the New England championships which will be held on Pratt Field on May 24 and 25. Forty candidates reported to the opening call and are under the supervision of Coach Judd, assisted by Prof. E. W. Pennock, Clayton Plummer, and Richard Ganslen. Coach Judd is taking the sprinters, broad jumpers, and hurdlers; Pennock, the weight men; Plummer, the distance runners; and Ganslen, the pole vaulters. Henry Fenn and Ken Landis, both weight men, are co-captains of this year ' s team. Candidates for the weight events are Karl Kurth, George Linck, Oliver Petty, Abe Friedman, and the two co-captains. Javelin throwers are Joe Fischer, Fred Kalencki, and Bill Antilla. In the sprints and hurdles, Pitts, Turner, Hurlburt, Galt, Dunphy, Beck, Gray, and Raynes are fighting for team berths. Clive Smith and Norm Piligian are active in the broad jump. Distance runners out for the team are Jacobus, Lang, Badrow, Bush, Cooley, and Christy. Len Covello and Carl Sorenson, both lettermen, are limbering up in the high jump and Jackson, Swettman, and Smith are other candidates for this event. Pole vault aspirants are Bowser, Friedman, Gray, Neumann, and Galt. Other veterans are expected to come out for the team in the next week. THE SCHEDULE F. April 19 Wesleyan S. May 18 Brooklyn T.

Coach John D. Brock ' s netmen will play a heavy schedule of 11 matches this year. The Maroon cause suffered a severe setback this season when two star performers, Harry Lee and Ralph Greene, failed to return to college campus. Despite this loss, the Springfield team looks forward to a very successful season with Captain Carl Condon, Dick Roby, Cliff Balcom, Howard Brown, and Elly Babb carrying a good share of the burden. Bud Schuman, Ace Rogers, Jack Kelly, and Russell Sholes are promising sophomores who are competing for varsity berths. Coach Brock is stressing work in the doubles this year, because the Maroon aggregation of last year, which won five out of seven matches, was weak in this department. Coach Brock has been deeply impressed with the early season form of the Maroons. The Springfield team will play on foreign courts for the first five matches of the season, then compete in the New England championships at Brown, and complete their schedule with five home meets on the local college courts. It is quite li kely that the local team will again be rated among the top net teams in New England. If the Maroons can wage their way through the first five difficult contests on the road, it is likely that the season will be a very successful one. THE SCHEDULE W. May 1 Rhode Island W. May 15 Mass.

Varsity Lacrosse — 1940 Alter a year ' s lapse lacrosse has been reinstated as a varsity sport at Springfield College. The Springfield racket wielders will be coached by Charles Bohlinger, who has had an enviable career in this sport at Springfield College. He played on the Springfield New ' England championship team in 1936 and cap- tained the Maroon combination of 1938. He showed fine form during the 1938 season and was rewarded whth a berth on the All-New England team. Last year he coached the varsity at Mount Hermon School. Thirty-six candidates responded to Coach Bohlinger ' s opening call. Many of them were veterans from last year ' s lacrosse club and they include Bob Mortenson, Bruce Munro, Bill Woodworth, Ray Cook, Dave See, Leo Nover, Bob Farrelly, Ray Angevine, Frank Smith, Frank Higginbotham, Rod McMahon, Howard Zimmer, Larry D ' Elia, George Stanton, Ed Ewen, Jimmie Sims, Irving Waglow, Blink Ward. This year ' s team, led by the scoring twins. Co-captains Mortenson and Munro, is expected to show plenty of offensive power, but lacks experienced defense men. They will meet some of New England ' s finest teams, including Harvard, Yale, M. I. T., Dartmouth, Tufts, and last year ' s New England cham- pions, the University of New Hampshire. The Maroons will step out of New England competition to meet C. C. N. Y. and the Crescent Club. The team will play two home games, meeting Tufts on May 3 and Yale on the following Saturday. It is doubtful that the boys will feel too fit in playing Yale on this date, which is the day after the Junior Prom. Coach Bohlinger has been im- pressed with the aggressiveness of his charges to date and believes that they will soon develop into a well-balanced team. S. April 13 Harvard S. April 20 C. C. N. Y. S.

Varsity Hockey In January hockey was recognized as a varsity sport at Springfield. The hockey season opened with a game at Amherst on January 6, 1940. Massa- chusetts State proved an easy victim in this opening tussle, the Maroons win- ning easily. Peterson and Squires scored, while the work of Blink” Ward, goalie, was outstanding. Two weeks later a vastly improved Mass. State team was met and the Maroons were forced into an overtime period to win 2 to 1. Collins scored the winning goal in the overtime, while the initial marker was tallied by Peterson. The first defeat of the season was administered by Yale ' s championship team. Superior reserve strength won the game for the Elis. On February 21 the team traveled to Clinton, N. Y., to play Hamilton College ' s crack team, undefeated in collegiate competition. Oulskating and outfighting their rivals in blue. Coach King ' s men held their rivals and led in scoring until late in the third period when Hamilton ' s flashy first line tied the score. With two minutes of the overtime left to go, Hamilton finally connected with the winning goal. Bartlett, Squires, and Peterson scored for Springfield in this game. Espe- cially worthy of praise was the work of the Springfield defense. Chase, Bartlett, and Ward in the nets. Warren King coached the team under adverse weather conditions this year and did a fine job. Leno Shinelli managed the squad, together with Vic Birt. Peterson and Collins were co-captains. Squad members include Bartlett, Calef, Chapman, Chase, Collins, Farrelly, Montgomery, Peterson, Powley, Sholes, Squires, and Ward. im n .s s o s o i -AV Crew We salute a courageous group of students who, by their persistence and loyalty, carried the colors of Springfield to new fame in the Dad Vail Regatta. Accomplishing the unheard of, their achievement has demonstrated the driv- ing power of a will to win coupled with a desire to learn. Behind any movement one can usually find someone who is the soul and driving force. This movement is no exception. A tall, energetic young man by the name of Court Pierce has been the instigator and embo diment of crew in this college. He has spent endless hours working to rehabilitate his ancient boats and accessories. Others would have thrown up their hands in disgust, but Court never heard of the word defeat. Long, glistening, arrow slim boats have been created from the shattered relics of three decades ago. Today the bright maroon tipped oars bite the shining waters of the lake. On the dock till late each afternoon stands the pioneer and coach; he watches the graceful shells streak over the tree-hung water. In the gathering dusk I see a smile of satisfacfion steal across his face and to my mind there comes the lines he has exemplified, “The race doesn ' t always go to the swifter or faster men, but sooner or later the man who wins is the man who thinks CREW ROSTER— 1940 Pierce, Courtland B.

Nichols Junior College took the short end of a 13 to 12 score from the frosh, but the following games against Amherst and Cheshire Academy were entered in the loss” column. Outstanding for the little Maroons were Capt. Dave Dockham, Gunner Jones, Ed Napier, and Bernie Jarosz in the backfield, while linesmen Howie Lorenz, Bob Sturges, and Larry Maddock showed to good advantage. Next year the varsity should be greatly strengthened by such runners as Booth, Woll, Meyer, and Waters to mention only a few. im (R -S ,s fn 5, o j Freshman Soccer Coached by Krum Konstantinov and paced by Irwin Schmid, Dick Havel, and Ted Bailey, the frosh soccer team waltzed through a lour-game season with three wins and one defeat. A hotly-contested 2 to 0 loss to Williston Academy spoiled the otherwise perfect record. The initial call for squad members brought about thirty enthusiastic men to the field. Three weeks of practice prepared them for the first game which was played at home against the booters from the University of Connecticut. This game gave the frosh an opportunity to prove their mettle, and they took full advantage of it by trouncing their opponents by the sizeable score of 5 to 0. Clever footwork on the part of the forward line, and strong kicking by the defense, kept the ball in Connecticut ' s territory throughout most of the game. A week after this first game, Nichols Junior College came, saw, and was conquered by the little Maroons on a wet, muddy field to the tune of 3 to 1. Hopes for an undefeated season were born after the Nichols ' game and mounted to a high pinnacle when, a week later, the frosh downed M. I. T. in a pre-varsity game at Pratt Field with a 4 to 0 score. These hopes were shattered on Armistice Day, however, when, playing the only away game of the season, the team lost to Williston Academy by taking the short end of a 2 to 0 score. Although relying mostly upon team work, the frosh produced several out- standing stars who should be of great assistance to Coach Brock ' s varsity next season. Among these men were George Meng, Bob Lindenmeyer, Dick Havel, Ted Bailey, Art Hall, and Irwin Schmid.

Freshman Cross-Country Suffering no defeats and winning the Connecticut Valley Cross-Country championship, the freshman cross-country team proved to be one of the best yearling squads the college has seen in many years. The high spot of the season was reached when the team took first place in the third annual Connecticut Valley meet held at this college. By placing five men in the first eleven finishing, the freshmen won the coveted Springfield Daily News trophy. Winning eight out of the first nine places, the yearlings trounced Trinity 17 to 38 in the first meet of the season at Hartford. Then, on their own course, the frosh showed their heels to Wesleyan, winning by a 24 to 35 count. Travel- ing to Massachusetts State, the team continued its winning ways by beating the Techsters by a perfect score, 15 to 27. The final engagement for the harriers took place at Boston, where the team ran in competition with colleges from all over New England at the New England Cross-Country championship meet. The team placed fifth with Booth, Waters, and Buckley finishing tenth, eighteenth, and twenty-eighth respectively. Much of the credit for the success of the freshmen should go to Coach Clayton Plummer who, in his second year of coaching at Springfield, turned out a great team. His knowledge and fellowship brought out the latent talents of what was at first merely a group of inexperienced, prospective harriers. The team was not composed of individual stars, but relied mainly on team strength, a most important factor in cross-country.

The squad lost but one of its eight scheduled games, and that to a highly- touted Amherst team. Victories were scored over Northeastern, Nichols Junior College, Worcester Academy, Collegiate Prep, of Providence, and Trinity. Capt. Dick Foster was outstanding in a squad of outstanding players. Others who proved their mettle were Dick Amott, Harold Jennifer, Stu Bicknell, Bill Pevzner, and Dick Havel. These men and others whose qualities perhaps passed unheralded should aid considerably in the formation of next year ' s varsity squad. Amott, Richard Havel, Richard Foster, Richard (Capt.)

Three exhibitions were given by the group and one competitive meet was entered. The initial appearance of the team was at the Springfield Municipal Audi- torium, where an exhibition was given for the Hampden County Boy Scouts. The Scouts gave the gym team an enthusiastic reception. The second exhibition was given on February 15th at the Village Street Mission in Hartford, Conn. The group was well received. At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on March 21st the freshmen bowed to defeat at the hands of the M. 1. T. freshmen. Captain Irwin Schmidt of the Springfield yearlings captured the honors in this meet, carrying away two first places, one second place, and one third place. The final exhibition of the season was held at the Veterans ' Hospital in Leeds, Mass., on March 4th. In retrospect, the season produced some real material for next year ' s varsity gym team and Coaches Smith and Rappaport have ample reason to be proud of their charges. On April 13th a banquet was held by the team, at which time numerals were presented. im n .s s n s o j 1 mp ' lE Freshman Swimming Four meets and four defeats was the record of the freshman swimming team. Coach Dick Pohndorf ' s men tried their mightiest throughout the entire season, but seemed to lack that necessary something which accounts for victories. Successive losses to Worcester, Brown, Amherst, and Gardiner High left the young mermen a bit punchy. In a season of distress, a few bright spots appeared in the persons of Captain Ed Smyke, Jim Church, Keith Thwaites, and Rudy Hurtzler. Smyke, former scholastic champion diver, continued his winning ways on the one-meter board, while Church and Hurtzler showed to advantage in the backstroke. Thwaites did well in the freestyle events. TTlTl n ,S S im 5, (TD ii Freshman Wrestling Faced with an inexperienced group, Coach Bliss Sa rgeant placed a frosh wrestling team on the mats which won two meets, lost two, and tied one. The opening meet against Williams saw the frosh bow 23 to 13 after several hotly-contested matches. Suffield Academy split the perfect score of 40 with the yearlings in the next meet, who then fell before Amherst, 25 to 13. Outstanding score of the season was the 36 to 0 victory over Tufts, while the 21 to 15 win over M. 1. T. ended the season for the frosh on a happy note. Capt. Art Hall and two of his teammates, Harry Pritchard and Bill Rogers, went through the season without losing a match. These men, together with lohn Byno, Tom Best, and Earle Buckley, should be of great value to next year ' s varsity squad. SQUAD Hall, Arthur (Capt.)
