A Q . if F s r J . . .1 H UR humble prose can never hope to match their generous action but we are proud to dedicate this volume of the Massasoit to the fortyffour Springfield College students and alumni killed during the recent world conflict. That these men died for us as part of a united effort to save ourselves is neither to be avoided nor forgotten. Perhaps all of the men whom we honor in this dedication were not fully aware of all they were fighting for,-perhaps not all of them could give an exact dehnition for democracy or distinguish a fascist at first sight. We shun confining limitations for their sacrifice, which inspires our homage. We are sure, however, conviction was a motive for their heroic effortsg that Springfield College training helped to inspire these convictions we are equally positive. These men genuinely understood that the essence of real living is the expending of oneself for those virtues that make life desirable for all. Since their death many treaties have been signed and many boundaries negotiatedg banner headlines are now less frequent and living heroes have resumed their anonymity. Officially World War II is history. We face the future with joy, sorrow and hope. joy, that the holocaust is ended. Sorrow, that those whose lives made victory possible are unable to exemplify in Peace the same heroism which they exemplified in War. Hope, that a personal ignorance of right will be recognized as our common weakness and misunderstanding of each other as our common enemy. The future is our occasion. Whether we will progress as part of an interdependent world community, or whether the rumbling of war will drown out another generation is contingent upon us- the dedicators.

It functions as a democratic council in its attempts to coordinate and further the social interests of the student body. Workiiig with very limited funds this year the SAB is to be commended for its impartial apportionment of funds according to need and service to the college.

Slacfenl eoamcif The Council functions to govern the Conduct of students and to financially sup' port and control student activities in the interest of student body and administration. This is a trying task in normal times, but in the face of a greatly augmented campus population, skyrocketing cafeteria prices, and overcrowded dormitory facilities, the job becomes increasingly diflicult, The year in review shows the Student Council, under President Kenneth Chivers, made a definite contribution to school life. It reorganized the Social Activities Boardg made detailed study of the problems of ex' aminations, term papers, and cafeteria Prices-giving recommendations for im' provement. The Council sent books to the ppines and was cofsponsor of the Phili World Student Service Fund Drive to aid fellow students abroad. Doggett Hall was refurnished by the Student Council and emerged as the Student Union. Above these and other accomplishments, however, its real worth lay in the firm es' tablishment of the Council as an effective, working student governing body. Assisting Ken Chivers with his executive duties were Mort Thau, vice presidentg Roger Burton, secretary, Dean Sipson, treasurer.

This organization, composed of an equal ratio of students from abroad and American students, is dedicated to the extension of international goodfwill and friendship on the campus and throughout the community. Under the guidance of Dr. Wiel, the club's purpose is twofoldg to give foreign students a better know' ledge of this country through intimate associaf tion with American students, and to help inter' pret the countries represented by our foreign students to American schoolfmates. Springneld College was fortunate in having on campus a large number of foreign students who contributed fully to student life. Australia, China, Egypt, Hawaii, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, South Africa, Palestine, and Panama were included in the countries represented by Glad students. Many of the members of the Cosmo' politan Club, especially the foreign students be' came widely acclaimed, as lecturers, throughout the Springfield area. Officers for the year were Tewfik Wissa, president, Keith Moore and Lloyd McDonald, vice presidents, T. W. Situ, secre' taryg and Eddy Mo, treasurer. Mime GM One of the most popular organizations on Campus this year was the Outing Club. The Pllrpose of the plaidfshirtfmen was to promote Crijoyment and interest in outing activities. fand as an extra squib, we might say-Mount Holy' oke girlsj With Dave Batchelor at the helm the group participated in many intercollegiate weekends with Smith, Mount Holyoke, Amherst, and Mass. State. These outings took the form of hikes, bicycle trips, barn dances, ski jaunts, canoe festivals, and skating parties. Aside from the Organized activities, groups of members skiied, snow permitting, every weekend in the Berk' shires or in Vermont. At least once each term the group display' mg the maroon and white arrowhead emblem acted host to the surrounding COllCg'CS'--Clll'l12lX' ing a super year with a five college canoe outing at Frosh Camp in May.

The 194647 season of this campus scouting fraternity has been a busy one concerned largely with reforganization. Early in the year the group elected jack Kalbfleisch to lead the program. Other officers elected were Harold Mawhiney, vice presidentg Charles Swart, secref taryg Joseph Poges, treasurerg and Bert Snow, historian. Members were active in scouting clubs throughout the city and work was completed for the publishing of a student directory, which has been a traditional service to the College. Another interest of this group is to keep scouting alive on campus and to this end a census of all former boy scouts on campus was completed. The Alphi Phi Omega was fortunate in having as one of its advisors Dr. Alvin F. Zander, who was formerly employed by the National Boy Scouts of America. Among the first organizations to start func' tioning this year and the only one with a treasury was the Aquatic Club. Fulfilling its purpose to stimulate and promote interest in aquatics through discussions, lectures, demonstrations, inf stitutes, and movies, the club climaxed a banner Year with a Canoe Carnival in the spring term. Earlier in the year the group under Commof dore jim Fulton, proved that it was equal to maintaining the Aquatic Club's fine reputation for sponsoring successful dances when it prof muted the Fall Homecoming Dance. The winter term was highlighted by the Water Carnival ,aww em given before a packed McCurdy Natatorium on March 6th and Sth. Coach- Red Silvia continued to be the guiding idol of the group while Dr, Karpovich, an old associate, regained his status as the club's favorite guest speaker.

The Visual Aiders, a small and skilled group of students interested in writing and prof ducing motion pictures and visual aids especially designed to advance Springfield College ideals and purposes. Under the capable leadership of director John Cunningham, members made a newsreel of Dr. Limbert's inauguration and the Field House groundfhreaking ceremony as well as motion pic' tures of many of our sports events. A short movie - The Professional Touch in Projecting Motion Pictures in a Classroom was the club master' piece. In the cutting room, not quite ready for release are short films and newsreels on group work, campus scenes, and late winter sports events. Members of the club were helpful to other students who desired to make use of visual aid projects. Other ofiicers were Cal Mosher, assist' ant directorg Calvin Hillman, controllerg and Carl Mailey, script writer, The Visual Aiders point to an even more extensive program next year. Slufenl' efxaidfian rqddacialion The Springfield College Christian Associaf tion is one of nine hundred YWCA's, YMCA's and Christian Associations in 667 colleges. It is part of the nationwide Student Christian Move' ment and through the national and regional ofhces maintains a confidential relationship with student organizations around the globe. Under the guidance of newly appointed director of religious activities, Holmes VanDerbeck, this group formed a powerful nucleus on campus and distinguished itself at many intercollegiate conf ferences. The SCA offered a program for each mem- ber, graduates, according to interests for the freshman, the physfed major, the varsity athlete, and the group worker. There was always a fine balance between worship, study, and action. In November Andy Hatcher and Al Rogers attended the regional conference at Wesleyan. President Limbert, Andy Hatcher, and Bruce Fisher represented the college at the National Student Assembly, University of Illinois, dur' ing the Christmas holidays. The group was co-sponsor, with the student council, of the World Student Service Fund Drive which raised over S500 for the needy students of Europe and Asia. The college asssof ciation was well represented at the Annual Northfield Conference for Connecticut Valley Colleges. Andy Hatcher was chairman of this conference, which was attended by over 200 delegates from twentyftwo New England col' leges. With Bruce Ward and Guy Pryor serving as co-chairmen the SCA led series of early morn' ing worship services during Holy Week. These services were a success as was the special Good Friday Church service given the same week. Showing an interest in good student government, the SCA sponsored the first political forum in the history of the college. The effect of their political efforts was clearly shown in the 80 perf cent participation of students in student govern' ment elections. The weekend of May 2nd saw 16 members journey to New Hampshire with several other colleges to repair a camp for underprivileged children. The SCA climaxed a banner year on May 23rd when it opened its annual cabinet retreat at the Church Cabin, University of Con- necticut. Bruce Fisher, Albert Snow, and Art Bruemmer were the other officers. First Row: Bruemmer, Snow, Hatcher, Mr. VanDerbeck, adviser. Middle Row: Etheridge, Spison, I.

Www Glad Like all residents establishing a new home, the GI students and their wives settled in Lake- side Village, the Federal Housing project for Springfield College married students, immed- iately encountered the problems of how to inf spire community spirit, and how to maintain rapport with the remainder of the campus. One of the solutions to this problem was the organi- zation of the Student Wives Club, the first all female club in Springf1eld's history. Their prof gram was to promote friendliness and social ac' tivity between married couples at Springfield College and to lend assistance when needed at social functions on the campus. The Student Wives met every other Tuesday evening, usually around sixtyffivc pretty young ladies, and after a short business meeting, brought to the campus numerous speakers on such fem' inine topics as fashions, hair styling, interior decorating, cosmetics, etc. Many of the wives were employed in various jobs around the campus in thc, post office, book' store, library, and other administrative tasks. The officers of this history making organization were Peggy Penney, Ginny Odeneal, Mary Lee Fladd, Lois Meyers. This club deserves high praise for its willing cooperation with other groups and in making the campus a brighter, more sparkling place with its members. One of the marks of an educated man is the ability to express himself in a concise, logical, and pleasant manner. With this thought in mind the Round Table Club was formed around sevf eral enthusiastic debaters. This nucleus led by Douglas Rofrano was interested in studying and practicing the art of discussion with other instif tutions at home and away. Under the guidance of Dr. George Brooks, it took two months of thorough study, practice, and other preparation to ready the group for its winter and spring term schedule. Finally in February, the Round Table Club initiated activf ities with a broadcast over Station WHYN conf cerning the controversial Compulsory Arbitra- tion of Public Service Industries. A symposium Ream! '7a6!e Glad at convocation with participants also from Wes' leyan, Mass. State, and Mount Holyoke gave the home audience a chance to see the group in action. The topic- What the Veteran Can Do to Improve American Democracy. While most Springfield College students en' joyed a leisurely spring vacation, these men made a four college tour debating Holy Cross, Clarke, W.P.I., and Wesleyan on the itchy subject, Resolved that the Federal Government provide a system of complete Medical Care available to all Citizens of United States. In April the group took other trips to Trinity, Amherst, and Worcester. William Boyle, Russell Huhn, and Emile Freniere were the other officers.

Members of this group made a sincere effort to understand the intricacies of foreign policy, Several attended the International Relations Institute sponsored I efa,Z'can4 by Clarke University in December. Attendance at local Foreign Policy Associa- tion meetings at Hotel Kimball constituted a significant portion of the program, Assisting President Henry Ward were David Snow, Cor' don Carson, and Lowell Lawrence.

Members of the club led in the effort to refestablish an athletic hoard with powers to determine the problems of awards, scheduling and the status of varsity sports. The winter initiation was a sight to see- with the athletic cuties manifesting a good deal of latent femininity. Campus wolves still howl when they spy or sniff Burt Zenaty, Hank Ether' idge and Art Bridgman who were branded by H board of local gals as the most glamorous of the 1947 crop. One of the high spots of last winter was the Homecoming Dance sponsored by the Varsity Club. A special fund was set aside to install a memorial trophy case in the lobby of the new field house. The program of the club did much to enhance the prestige and value of the .Springfield College varsity letter. Much of the credit for this success goes to Norm Hoff, Mort Thau, Stu Bicknell and Irv Adams, for their inspiring leadership through' out the year. The Hrst postfwar Junior Promenade was held May ninth at the War Memorial Auditor' ium in Holyoke, Massachusetts, under the sponf sorship of the Class of 1948. The gala event was the culmination of six months of industrious work by the Committee. Several budgets were worked out before a satis' factory one was accepted by the Social Activities Board. The Committee was headed by Bill Tracy, with Bob Brocklesby as Business Man' agerg Dan Hayden, Music, Bob Litchka, Audi- torium, and Fern Tetreau, program planning. The traditional triangle ceremony was ob- served with the junior Class president, Wilbur Hornstra, and Chairman Tracy being the Hrst couples through the ceremony. The favors pref sented to the prom guests were sterling silver bracelets with a Cupid motif. Three hundred youthful couples danced to the music of Chuck Peterson and his band.

Outstanding among the efforts of the chorus was its participation in the radio broadcast during winter Homecoming . Bob Hawkes won acclaim as a soloist while a quartet, plugging songs of the 'iGay Ninetiesn proved an entertaining feature at all of the class dances.

In Sep' tembcr more than one hundred students regis- tered for advanced professional preparation in the fields of Group Wcmrk, Physical Education, Guidance and Personnel, and Recreation. This group became the largest class since the establish' ment of the graduate department shortly after Wcirld Wztr I. Like all classes, the graduates went through a period of reorganization which curtailed the number of social functions. Members elected Richard Moreland, Staton Curtis, Mrs. Mary Wilsoli and Donald Bridgeman to class ofhces. Dave See served with the Social Activities Board and Corneil Balding acted as student council representative. Dick Moreland under the pseuf donym of Tommy Hawk wrote a lively column in the Student. e Glafu Most signincant was the complete integration of graduate members into campus activities. Many others became friends of the freshmen through their work as assistants in the different depart' ments. Undergraduates were glad to learn that several of the outstanding students will be faculty next year. genial: Glau The senior class as pictured in the Massasoit might cause great consternation. Members of this class completed requirements last August and Decemberg some became eligible in Ivlareh While others will round out their academics at the end of the coming summer term. The number of normal seniors is limited. Almost half of the returning seniors were married. Home life, practice teaching, field work and six subjects allowed little time for class ac' tivities. In addition, frequent changes in ref quired courses kept them weary throughout most of the year. They did manage to get together for the class picture but someone mentioned dues and the assembled soon departed. Iviany of the seniors made fine contributions to student life and their influence was ever T....Y.,, present on the campus. Dave Cole, Harold Mawhiney and Dean Sipson represented well the student body on the democratic Curriculum Committee. Howard Hoogesteger did a fine job for the class on the alumni council. Ofiicers inf cluded a quartet of prefwar Springfield men - Roger Burton, presidentg Dave Cole, vice presif dentg Howard Hoogesteger, secretaryg and Stuart Bicknell, treasurer. Graduation approaches and soon Lake Massa' soit will give way to the schools and communf ities claiming these well trained men. As the class of 1947 scatters to various destinies its mem' bers realize that we who remain will continue to preserve the liberties and traditions of our campus. 69 l , The Junior Class was easily the melting pot of Springneld College, having within its ranks men from Springfield classes of 1942, '43, '44, '45 and '46 as well as a considerable num' ber of transfer students. From this group emerged the Class of 1948Adestined to perform yeoman service for the student body during a year of expansion and uncertainty. Amid the toils of rehabilitating our own attif tudes, amid the mysteries of registration and the vigil for subsistence checks came the gigantic problem of class organization and the many re' sponsible projects traditionally performed by juniors. In October the class elected oflicers- Ted Smith, Don Molten, Hank Etheridge and I received the confidence of the class. Twin Bobs, Hazen and Litchka represented us on the student council, while Fred Felter and Whitey Burham shared the SAB position. Sighting only big expenses and empty coffers the class acted on ways and means of terminating financial plight. To this end a dance was organ' ized and successfully staged on November 16- the date of our last football game. Committee Elma members Don Hayden, Bill Tracy and Fern Tetreau labored unceasingly to make this dance a memorable affair in the minds of all. Hank Etheridge and his calendar committee revived an old tradition and astonished all by having a school calendar ready for Xmas shoppers. Others volunteering services on this project were Don Schading, Whitey Burham and Chuck Swart. Bill Tracy and Andy Hatcher held down the time consuming jobs of Junior Prom Chairman and Massasoit editor. Serving with them as asf sistants were over thirty members of the melting pot . The Promenade was grandfdthe outstand- ing social event in my memory. The Massasoit speaks for itself. Our good friend and counselor Dr. McCabe did much to inspire us throughout the year. The class looks forward to May 27th, Step' pingfUp Day when we will have the honor of becoming seniors at Springfield College. Dutch Hornstra President of the Junior Class. 3 Glau A new era in learning was started at Spring' field College this year by the Sophomore Class. It was a long, hard pull to organize against the conflict of sports, classes, themes, the search for living space, and even to find, if scholastically, one qualified. At an early meeting, Gordon Vye was elected Student Council member and Jim VanArsedale to the Social Activities Board. Shortly after, VanArseda1e was switched to the new Athletic Board and Robert Pearson took his seat on the Social Activities Board. During October this class of over 100 mem' hers elected as oflicers Mase Ellison, presidentg Bill King, vice president, Bill Odeneal, secretaryg and Edward Toomer, treasurer. A sophomore representative also joined the Student Appraisal ...MW Committee and the junior Prom Committee at their meetings. Getting back to the books , class reorganif zation, and settling down for a three year stay interfered with the class' social desires, but despite this, their spring Bowery Party proved a campus highlight. In sports the Sophs took the intramural soccer crown and their cross country team ran away with the honors. The Sophomore Class, fused together to bear its part of college life and problems, to meet with and solve them. It aided the Freshmen to ref vitalize interest in student government, and next year as Juniors, it expects to bring forth in quantities those qualities of Spirit, Mind and Body for which Springfield has been long and justly, famous. Qfmhmfm Elma The largest Freshman class in the history of Springfield began its career on campus on Sep' tember 17, 1946. The upper classmen and wiser summer students oriented this bewildered mob in one hectic week in which acquaintances were made and friendships started. Long before the class knew itself elections were held and from the prominent candidates were elected president, james C. Hogan, vicefpresident, Merton Tefftg secretary, Richard A. Davis, and treasurer, Ed- ward Orsini. Dr. Holmes VanDerbeck, new to the faculty but active on the Social Activities Board and in Student'administration relations, was chosen class advisor. The Freshman Cabinet was chosen, consist' ing of Robert Smith, Student Council memberg Seeley Romaine and George A. Buckmaster, jr., Social Activities Board membersg Williziiii Yost, chairman of Freshman-Sophomore Committee, Paul Anderson, chairman of Freshman Morale Committeeg and Mike Kelly, chairman of Social Committee. The class gained additional Student Council representation when the Social Activities Board appointed its secretary, George Buckf master, to the Student Council. The class sponsored a series of motion pic' tures for entertainment and educational purposes which were immediate successes. The big event was St. Patrick's Test Hop on March 15, which was successful even against adverse weather. The next class effort resulted in a reawakening of Student opinion in Student Government, result' ing in FroshfSoph recommendations to the Stud- ent Council which increased the election response. Term papers, themes, oral reports, book and library assignments, nnancial and room troubles were overcome, and the Frosh now look forward to Freshman Camp and vacation! 72 9-- I-14,1 'AD' . 8.11 I 74 The 1947 Massasoit presents the ' h X 5 ' f' J J v!ff of Springfield College its Athleties Front Row: Merrill, Tetreau, Witko, Yost, DcWeese, Berard, Mulvany, Gully, Ward, Hoff, Pennington, Friberg, Conway.

Qaazfdell With the resuming of activities at Spring- field, football regained its prominent position under the direction of mentor Ossie Solem. More than 120 hopefuls jammed the campus for early practice which started September 3rd, The team started slowly, dropping games to Northwestern, 6fO, and University of Conneeti' cut, 2547. However, a greatly improved Maroon combination thrilled everyone by winning the iirst home game--defeating Norwich 20fO. Travf eling to face New Hampshire the Indians played alert ball and returned with a 14f6 victory. This game ended a nine game winning streak for the Wildczlts. Solenfs boys ran wild against AIC and scalped the Aces 34f6 before a record Home' coming crowd. This victory brought to the campus for the first time the MZIYOTRS IntrafCity Football Trophy. An intersectional game with Wayne University at Detroit found the Maroons on the short end of a 12f6 score. An easy win over St. Lawrence, 24fO, and an upset by Cortland State Teachers 14f12 brought to a close the Hrst postfwar foot- ball season. Only four men will be lost through gradua- tion: Carl Coe and jack Oelkers, cofcaptains, Norm Hoff and Sam Brooks. Next year's Sched' ule designates Yale as the biggest stumbling block along victory trail. Wafuulfq Gmc 0 After a three year lay-off the Springfield cross country team came through with a very impressive season under the leadership of Coach Leslie Judd, The team won its first race against Worcester Tech 19f36 with Tom Crane and Bobby Knowles finishing first and second. Rhode Island State, later New England Champs, won the second meet, 2Of41. The next two dual meets the Inf dians won from Wesleyan, 1940, and from Trin- ity, l9f44. Running in the New England AAU Champ' ionships in Boston, the team finished third with Tom Crane taking second place. At the New England Intercollegiate Championships Spring' field annexed second place only nine points be' hind R.I. State with the following men placing: Bob Knowles 6th, Tom Crane 7th, Oliver Fjeldal 14th, jack Tulp 23rd, and Bob Hunt 43rd. In the two post season meets the Juddmen again made good showings. At the Manchester AAU Championships the team finished second and in the National Intercollegiate Champion- ships at New York they took the fourth position. Tom Crane was elected captain for the sea- son. The prospects for next year look bright as all the team members will be back with Oliver Fjeldal and Tom Crane as cofcaptains. , 1 i tl H H ' f 7 Wi..

'zfafzdifq' Saccea The grand old man of Springfield, john Brock. eased from his retirement to coach the soccer team and, if as a tribute to his efforts, the hooters were chosen by the National Coaches Association as the outstanding team of the na' tion. The last game a Brockfcoached team lost was to Temple in 1940. Since then the only thing to shade a string of twenty victories has been three tie contests. Characteristic of Coach Brock's combination was the usual skillfull play and brilliant pass work which enabled the Maroons to win over all op' ponents. The scorching triumph of the year was a 1-0 victory over Yale at New Haven. Other good teams to fall before the Maroon and White were W.P.I.. Brown, University of Connecticut and M.l.T. Ted Smith and Captain Nils Carlson led the scoring with twelve and ten goals respectively. Freshman John Hogan was named to the second team AllfAmerican Soccer squad with Don Mol' ten, Wilbur Eaton, Captain Carlson and Mort Thau receiving honorable mention. Carlson, Hogan and Thau participated in the annual NorthfSouth game played in New York. Goalie Mort Thau and forward, Ted Smith were elected to lead the Maroons next fall.

Boh Hazen proved to he a very good play maker while Burke was a constant scoring threat from his guard position. The relief work of Renken, Huntington, and Cartmill allowed Coach Bunn to rest his regulars at ease. Two victories were scored over A.I.C., the first in a close game, the deciding points heing scored in the final minute of play. The second game saw the Maroons win going away 45445. The largest feather in the cap of the Bunnmen came when Vermont, led hy allfstar Larry Kilf lick, went down to defeat 53-44. Trinity Col' lege had a record of seven wins and no losses, hut the friendly Coliseum court meant the end of an unhlemished record as the Indians poured in the points to win 57f44. In a game that at' tracted 5,500 fans the lvlaroons forced the N. C.A.A. champions to their upmost hefore the Holy Cross Crusaders reserve power hegan to tell. Although Coach Bunn initiated a new sys' tem at Springfield, the team produced will al' ways he rememhered hy local baskethall fans. The home games were played at the Coliseum and three games, Wayne University, Utah State, and Boston University were played at the Bos' ton Arena. Boh Hazen was elected to captain the 1947-48 team.

Highlight of the season was the hard fought Victory over McGill University of Montreal, the Canadian intercollegiate champs. Other wins were Over Cortland, Brooklyn Poly, and Tufts. Strong teams from Dartmouth, Army, Wesleyan and Harvard defeated our team in closely contested matches. In the New England Intercollegiate Wrestling Tournament Davey Cole and Irv Adams paved the way for fourth place honors for Springfreld. Cole undefeated in ten matches, defeated all com' petition and came home with the New England 121 pound class championship. In the 128 pound class Adams also garnered the New England Championship. Other men who were outstanding were Daniels, Tetreau, Thomas, Maynes, Howes, Def vaux, Lougee, Weekly, Mulvaney, Hoogesteger, and Van Arsdale. With only five men to he lost through gradua- tion the outlook for next year is good. Many good wrestlers will also he moving up from the J. V. Squad. jim VanArsdale was elected to lead the matmen next year. 7eam The 1946f47 varsity natators closed their dual meet season with one of the best records in swim' ming team history. Returning lettermen Camp' bell, Christ, Conyne, and Gray, who had been out of competition since 1943 due to wartime service, formed the basis for early season expecta' tions, ably supported by transfer students, under' classment, and freshmen. The team started 'its prefChristmas competition by a hard-earned victory over a good Dartmouth team, and followed this quickly with a win over the University of Connecticut. This Dartmouth meet marked the third successive meeting of these two teams that was decided by one point. The totals for the entire season show seven wins as against two losses. Besides defeating Dartmouth and Connecticut, MIT, WPI, Am' herst, Tufts, and Brown were subdued while losses were only to Yale and RPI. The JV swimmers did as well, winning all five of their scheduled meets. In the New England Championships, the team placed third. Bill Campbell won the first place crown in diving with Manuel Sevilla close behind in second place. A second place was also taken by the 400 yd. Freestyle relay team of Conyne, Kong, Williams, and Christ. This team went on to qualify and win a place in the finals of the Eastern Intercollegiate Championships at Yale. Only four men are being lost to the team by graduation, giving gpromise of an equally good team next winter. These men are Art Christ, Dave Williams, Carl Meyers, and jim Fulton. Consistent point scorers that will be here next year are Capt. Al Conyne, Campbell, Kong, Edwards, Sevilla, Krayer, and Gray, while much is expected from freshmen Hill, Hoefler, and Weaver.

Judd and members of the 1947 Exhibition Team. The usual backlog of men who had one to three years of training under Coach Judd, enabling them to reach the perfection and precision that marks a varsity gymnastic team member, was lacking because of the warftime interruption. However, the combination of hard work and effective coaching overcame all diiiiculf ties. Announcement that the Exhibition Team would resume its traditional appearances aroused widespread interest in towns and cities where gym teams had thrilled audiences in former years and an itinerary of thirteen exhibitions in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts was approved. Judging from the many letters received from alumni who attended the exhibif tions, and the fine comments made about the well balanced program, this team has upheld the repuf tation built by gymnasts of former years. The homecoming performance before 4000 people in the Springfield Municipal Auditorium gave local patrons an opportunity to gaze upon the Judd troupe. The 1946f47 team was led by cofcaptains Henry Etheridge and john Pennington whose inf dividual performances and personal skill served as an inspiration for those working with them on the team. Gil Charters and jim Kopp did an excellent job in presenting a new souvenir program, Ralph Raymond served as head manager. lncfaaa '7wck Having only three chances to show their ability, the Indoor Track Team did well for the season under the leadership of Coach Bill McCurdy with a dual meet victory, second in a three corner meet and taking third place in the mile relay at the Boston A.A. Games. Outstanding in the field events were Lloyd Arnold's pole vaulting l1'6 g Bob Vxfhitham makf ing a field house record high jump of 6'1 at Mass. State, Jim Weiitwcirth capturing points in the shot and Wzlrrexi Norton on the hammer and 35 pound weight throw. Three of these men are freshmen and make good prospects for the spring season and future years. Pounding the boards, 24 laps-tofafmile for pracf tice in the West Gym, for the Maroon speedsters was Bob Hunt and Captain Tony Taddonio both making consistent performances. Freshmen Dick Miller and George Potterton added great color to the relays and coupled with Ed Toomer and Taddonio to set a sprint relay mark at Mass. State. This is the same team that took third in the Boston A.A. Meet. Later in the season, Manager Dave Snow and Bob Knowles put on spikes to score valuable points in the hurdles and middle distances respectively. Adams, Fjeldel, Stevens, Frey, Batchelor, Bel' ton, Brosnan, Carlson, Huhn, and Al Smith all were credited with points that were crucial in placing Springfield high in competition. The mapority of the men on the squad are from the freshman and sophomore classes so that next year the prospects for the indoor track team should be good.

Spearheading the effort to hring lacrosse hack to the campus were Dave Dockham and Vern Cox, hoth graduates and former lettermcn, For their Hrst taste of competition the team went to Deerfield Academy for a practice game that proved helpful in smoothing out the squad. On their next outing against Yale, experience told the tale and the team suffered a crushing 15--6 defeat. The following week the Indians came hack with a stunning victory over a Boston Lacrosse Club team which hoasted of several All' Americans. Over 400 'Tvefneverfseen-thisfplayf edfheforev spectators witnessed this 6-4 win. Outstanding personnel of the team were Nils Carlson, who in 1943 was New England high scorer and a member of the'NorthfSouth game played in Baltimore lwefore 20,000 spectators: Jim Wells and Al Coty former Frosh Co-Cap' tains, Bolv Randall, Don Sehading, jim Anagnost and Max Andrews former lettermen. Harold Wells, Lee Walls, jack McGee and Shig Ivlurao showed promise of a strong nucleus for future games. 7evuuLi Spring, 1947, saw the largest group of net stars ever to represent the College on the clay courts. Selected to lead the Maroon and White racquet aces was Clayton Shay, who during his undergraduate days was a tennis star of great ability. Despite adverse weather conditions Qsnow and stuffj daily practice began early in April at Blunt Park. College as well as Forest Park courts were utilized to full advantage as soon as the weather permitted. Returning lettermen of former years, Ernie Davis, Will Renken, Sam Brooks, Ed Giles, Fred Hackett, George Taylor and Bryce Bur- roughs gave early notice that they would be out to hold their positions. However such promising racqueteers as Norm Berger, Tom Cartmill, Dan Simmons, Ed Crocker and Lloyd MacDonald added much to the strength of the team. The Maroon aces undertook a full evelen match schedule which included Amherst, Mass. State, Rhodelsland State, Wesleyan, Vermont, A.I.C., Trinity and R.P.I. Eddy Mo assisted Mr. Shay with his coaching chores. Ending the season with nine victories and no losses the racqueteers were able to set claim to the New England title. Ed Crocker played No. 1 position throughout the season. First Row: Cartmill, Marden, Berger, Spear, Adams, Rothstein, Swettman, Bauer, Sills, Moore, Burroughs, Terry, Johnston.

Banda!! 150 candidates reported to Coach John Bunn on the first day of baseball practice. Twenty' three former Springlield lettermen, four team captains, half a dozen transfer lettermen and several semi-pro players helped to make up the greatest array of baseball talent seen in years. The task of finding a winning combination proved difficult but Coach Bunn finally rounded a varsity squad of thirtyffive men. Early victories over Providence, 20-4 and Boston University, 6f5, indicated Springfield was on the way to a successful season. Curt Baker produced his initial victory of the year in the Providence game. Basketball star, john Burke, scattered nine hits and fanned eleven batters to win his first start in college baseball over Boston University. Ray Barrett, Bob jackson, Harry Strauss, Dick West and Willie King all showed class in their positions. Other teams included in thc 16 game schedule were Holy Cross, Trinity, Williams, Lowell, A.I.C., Bates, New Hampshire, Amherst and Wesleyan. Fred Howell and Curt Baker were elected cofcaptains. At the close of the season they boasted an outstanding record of twelve wins against four losses. Tl V Tn '- '-----.q--....,,....,-,-.....2 - 7 -Y 77-4 .

Waufliaf 'hack Coached by Leslie Judd and his assistants MacCurdy and Kurth the 1047 track team started off a promising season with a turnout of 70 hope' fuls. Larry Lawrence and Steve Mathe, former speedsters themselves, handled the managerial tasks with perfection. Pennington and Burton were Co-Captains. The track outlook was bright with former mile champion Knowles getting support from Hunt, Taddonio, Miller, Ross and Adams in all events from the 440 through the two mile. In the sprints power was the key word in that King, Whitham, Toomer and Potterton all could be counted on for points. Noteable in these events was the fact that so much speed was shown by the secondary sprinters that the coaching staff had to find proper outlet for it. Keller, Rapp, Romaine, Mills, and Freeze were therefore effecf tively groomed for the 440. The hurdling staff needed much work to produce their share of the pointg and, by late season Hornstra, Frey, Belton, and King managed to muster up sufficient ability to accomplish this task. In the Held events Springfield did not display overall depth in her performances. With cham- pion vaulter Pennington, weight men Norton, putter Carlson, and versatile jumper Bob Whithf am as the main point gatherers the fieldmen show' ed much need for more coaching and conditioning if they wished to emulate the scoring punch of the runners. Wentworth, Odeneal, Batchelor, Hart, and Brosnan showed possibilities of becom- ing effective in the later parte of the season. The schedule included competition with Conf necticut, Wesleyan, Amherst, Rhode Island, The Eastern Championships, The New England Championships, and W.P.I. One thing remained evident: A well coached and supported indoor track team could be the only thing to combat New England spring weather and advanced conf ditioning of Opponents. With the field house, track, next year and loss of only a few men by graduation the track team can look forward to unprecedented performances. I S9 ' Wamullfafqaafdalll The -I.V.

Next year these men will aid in filling the open spots in the varsity squad. Starting off with a 3-2 victory over Will' iston Academy they showed their offensive power, but then they dropped the next three games each by one point to Suffield 1-O, Nichols JC. 4-3, and Monson 3-2. In the final game the Maroons came through with a victory in a return game with Nichols JC. by a 3-2 score. The outstanding game of the season was the defeat by Nichols. Trailing 4-O with five minutes remaining in the game, the Springfield booters fought back with vengeance to score three goals, just falling short of tying the score. Showing real ability for the j.V.'s this year were Stetler, Bradly, Brodie, and Whittemcmre. The J.V.'s as a team deserve a great deal of credit for helping to push the varsity to its un' defeated season. uniafz Wafuilq Zlfaeillfhg.

Nina Members of the staff accepted the confidence of the Junior class with grave sincerity and throughout the year our sole objective has been to publish a Massasoit worthy of comparison with the annual of any school. The record of the Massasoit this year offers no blueprint for success-our season was rife with disappointments, extended deadlines, trials and often errors. Like many other campus organizations we spent our early months organizing rather than producing. Now the gargantuan task is complete and in retrospect it is easy to see that success was achieved only through the labor of many individuals. These friends range from the unknown telephone operator who rushed long distance calls to the publisher during the nationfwidc strike to our own Dave Batchelor who often reported tardy to his Holyoke date just for us. Members of the staff extend particular thanks to Roy Jansen whose ideas appear in part on the dedication pageg Alice Fitzsimmons, Norma Simmeers, and Bob Rock for assisting in the clerical workg to Larry Fladd who did an exceptional job assisting photography editor Bob Estyg and to Gordon Troy for the advertising he solocited during our early months. Dave Batchelor and Fred Merrill contributed much to the task via their excellent work with the camera and in the dark roomg George Buckmaster, a freshman, helped with the copy reading. Mr. Wright and the Bosworth Studio for their patience and quality service and jack Brown, representative of Hammersmith-Kortmeyer Co., for his courtesy and tech' nical advice deserve special praise. Mr. TenBroeck and the SAB showed a sincere interest in our project and asked only-that we frame our grandiose plans within a budget. To these and the many others the staff expresses gratitude.
