CLASS OF ’FORTY ' TWO Stra)vj,crs once, ivc came to dwell toocthcr. Sons of our Another, wise and true; T he winds blew in hurricane propor- tions and the rains came down from the opened heavens. A bedraggled and bewildered lot of strangers invaded Fresh- man Headquarters located in Alumni Hall — this was to be the Class of ' q-- Men- tal tests, aptitude tests, tests of motor ability in the gymnasium and sw’imming pool were administered to the group in rapid suecession. The Sophomores added to the melee by initiating the Frosh to the cold waiters of the Massasoit. An unorgan- ized group were swished through the icy waters in the Annual Rope Pull by the heartless Sophs. Leaders appeared out of the group to give a semblance of unity to the elass. Victory in the cane rush did much to assuage the feelings of the till- then much trod upon yearlings. Then, quiet — all bent to the task of “hitting the books” so that we might be allowed to re- main in the institution. “A[ou ' we re hound by tics that cannot sever All our whole lives through. In seemingly rapid succession came the Frosh ball, the wonderful times at Frosh camp; and as we moved along, there came the succession of Stepping-Up Days which saw the group move nearer and nearer its goal of graduation and preparation for life- work in physical education and social agency work. The Soph hop, the work days at camp, and a long list of other events quickly gave the group a feeling of belong- ingness at Springfield — we were all Spring- field Men. The crowning affair was the Junior Prom with its good times for all. Gather closer, hand to hand. The time has come when we must part; Still the ties of college life will linger Ever in each heart. ' And now we’ve come to the time w ' hen w ' e are preparing to “Leave Old Massasoit.” Mingled feelings of elation at being able to go out into the field and of sadness at knowing that we shall be leaving behind, perhaps forever, the many friends w ' e have come to know in our asso- ciations at Springfield. The upperclass- men W ' hen w’e were Frosh, the Frosh when we were upperclassmen, the professors (about w ' hose assignments w ' e often griped) and administrators of the institu- tion -- many shall pass into the limbo of memories. But these memories of all that W ' e held close during our actual stay on campus will ever linger with us. As we look around we notice that many faces are missing from the original class — many new faces have been added. We’ll remember the old and the new alike. We’ll recall those who left school to join the armed forces after the sudden attack on our coun- try’s possessions and our anxiety concern- ing whether we would be able to finish a task so near completion before our draft boards saw fit to choose us for service. Memories! Memories! As the years go by they shall serve to bind us more closely to all who helped guide us through the formative four years of college life. In return we shall serve them by living, and helping live, “Springfield,” our ideals em- bodying the best of the best that our Alma Mater stands for. ‘ ] [ow raise the rosy goblet high. The Seniors chalice, and belie The tongues that slander and defile. For we have yet a little while To linger — Youth — uiid Ton and 1 - In college Days. — Frank Turek, Secy K.vkl Kurth, president Lyle Gray, r’lcc-presidcnf Myron Angier, treasurer Frank Turek, secretary [20] .-zm ijm -f .cv 77 i ' r
