Text from Pages 1 - 200 of the 1952 volume:

■K O c5 The arrow is an ancient implement and symbol. It has a prominent place in the rituals and legends of primitive peoples of varied cultures in many lands. The New Eng- land Indians to whom we are related in spirit and by tradi- tion were skillful as hunters and warriors in their use of the bow and arrow. Like the arrow in its upward flight may our thoughts and aspirations ever be ascendant, carrying on from gen- eration to generation, never falling. We are arrows all, aiming in mind toward some partic- ular goal or target. Whether we strike true to the mark or not depends on how well we aim ourselves, on how high we set our sights, and on the impelling force within us to advance. Somehow, we are both the aimed, and aimer; the taut bow, as well as the arrow ' . Our aim in college is to become more fully integrated individuals, skilled in the particular techniques of our chosen field, humbly aware of our responsibilities in our relationships w ' ith our fellow man. These ideals in unity, let us hope, will point toward a better w ' ay of life accept- able to all. With this in mind — let us be arrow ' s of light, of free- dom, and of continuous hope, having as our prime target the evolutionary concept of a saner and more livable world. Lead us, O Spirit! We w ' ould strike true! Rivet your eye to the mark. Let it stick fast as the ai row would , if you could but send it there. ay.- MR ANTHONY PALECEK Assistant Professor of Economics MISS LAURA N. RICE Instructor in Psychology MR. DEAN RIPPON Instructor in Biology IN DEDICATION To the fourteen faculty members who, after a period of understanding and loyal service to Spring- field College, left our campus in 1951 to offer their services to mankind elsewhere, this 1952 Massasoit is proudly dedicated. With fond appreciation and humble thanks the students of Springfield College salute you, one and all. MR. WILLARD HAMMER Instructor in Physical Education MR. CHARLES H. HAPGOOD Assistant Professor of History x ■ MR. EDWARD A. CROCKER Instructor in Physical Education In memoriam CHARLES G. “SCOTTY” BAIRD Born: January 9, 1886 Died: May 14, 1951 With the sudden and untimely death of Charles B. Scotty” Baird on May 14, 1951, Springfield College lost one of her strongest, her most ardent, her most faithful supporters. His success in understanding people won for him the respect and love of all who knew him. Faculty, students, and alumni alike have felt his helping hand in time of need. His service was rich in results for the College and for those about him. Scotty” was ever ready to serve; his life of service will continually be remembered by all. For to those who reach the top of the world The things of the world seem less Than the rungs of the ladder by which they climbed To their place of happiness. And l think that success and wealth and fame Will be the first to pall, For they reach their goal but by faith and love And God’s goodness over all.

It wasn ' t long, however, before the class became adjusted to college life, thanks to the excellent work of the Freshman Week Committee, and began to make a mark for itself. Probably the most noteworthy single aspect of this class is the fact that forty-five of its members are young women, pioneers of co- education at Springfield. It is quite significant that one of their num- bers, Mary Ahlberg of Merchantville, New Jersey, was elected chair- man of the class executive committee which ably organized the class during its infancy and early childhood. The dunking given the Frosh rope pull team merely served to increase the solidarity of the class, by no means dampening its spirit or determination to become one of the prominent forces on the campus. During the Winter Term, Flarry Avesian was elected president, Dave Clark, vice president, Betty Johnson, secretary, and Bob Bond, treasurer. The Papoose, the Frosh newspaper, edited by Clark Schaaf, is a fine indication of the ability of the class as is the fact that the athletes of 55 have shown prowess in both varsity and freshman competition. With a major portion of the first year already in the record books, prospects for the future of the Class of 1955, as it grows into maturity, are very bright indeed. IPt 3 if ' SOPHOMORE CLASS With many students lost to the Armed Forces the class of 54 re- entered Springfield College in late September as a small but enthusi- astic group of men and women. The class had concluded a highly successful Freshman year by camping for two weeks at Freshman Camp’ where class officers were elected for the sophomore year. The achievements of their first year were soon matched and even surpassed by those of their second year. At the first class meeting, Bill Campbell, was elected class advisor and members of the class soon established a Traditions Court which proved to be one of the most successful ever organized at Springfield College. The Court in- creased the school spirit and established the importance of upholding traditions which have been passed on from year to year. Members of the class became prominent figures in every varsity sport, many forming the nucleus of the teams with which they participated. Proj- ects for the year were completed when the class sponsored the highly successful Winter Homecoming Dance. As the members of the class of 1954 continue toward their edu- cational goals they look forward with hope and anticipation that the insights and knowledge they gain will aid them in the coming years to set higher goals and standards for those who follow. 23 President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Faculty Advisor OFFICERS Dan Campbell Burt Flay Walt Ersing Jerry Elolder Mr. William Campbell •5 ' • r . 4� ! • £ JUNIOR CLASS The Spirit of ’53 has now entered its Junior year looking to the future with great expectations. The call to military service has diminished our ranks but not our spirit, and, in spite of the ever present possibility of being called into the Armed Service, the men and women of 53” unceasingly continue to seek the word of the wise and the knowledge of the world. As we began the year we could look back on work well done. We retired undefeated in the time-honored rope pull, the Winter Home- coming Dance was a memorable success, and we had laid strong foundations for the coming Junior year by electing capable officers and selecting committees for the important functions of the Massasoit, Junior Calendar and Junior Prom. As this year progressed, we soon demonstrated that we were not going to rest on our laurels. Our athletes actually began to dominate almost every varsity sport. Student government was considerably aided by men ffbm our ranks. The calendar came out on schedule and the Massasoit is shaping up into one of the best yearbooks in recent years, despite a cut in operating funds. The Junior Prom Committee has broken a precedent and scheduled this gala event for a Saturday night rather than Friday, showing a progressive attitude and a willingness to experiment for improvement. At the time of this writing, it is hard to say what the future has in store for us. We do know that, as in the past, we who make up the Spirit of ’53” will continue to work zealously as leaders of men and youth alike to the end that our efforts may some day be a major contribution to that long-sought-for day of peace.

Sliepcevich GRADUATE CLASS The Graduate Class this year was made up of one hundred and fifty-eight full time students. This group represents students from fifty-five colleges and nineteen states. The foreign students represent eight countries, including Austria, Canada, Hawaii, India, Pakistan, Philippines, Puerto Rico, and New Zealand. There are five major courses of study open to these students in the Graduate School here at Springfield. Physical Education, Guidance and Personnel Services, Group Work and Community Organization, Teacher Education, and Recreation and Camping. A specialized gradu- ate program within the Physical Education major, is available in Physical Education and Recreation in Rehabilitation for students de- siring training as specialists in corrective physical education in schools and for rehabilitation work. The Graduate Class here at Springfield has always been an active group in college and community activities and this year ' s class is no exception. It is through participation in college and community activi- ties, along with plenty of hard work, that the Springfield graduate student prepares himself for the expanding needs and opportunities which lay ahead.

CREIGHTON HALE Faculty Advisor Four of the richest years m the lives of the members of the Class of 1953 are nearly over. It is with mixed feeling of regret yet anticipation that we prepare to leave Spring- field College and enter our chosen field of endeavor. We can all remember the autumn of 1948 when we first met and became a part of the tradition that is Springfield College. Even then friendliness and cooperation were the keynotes which were to remain with us through the ensuing four years leading us to the day of graduation. As a class we can look back with satisfaction and pride on our accomplishments in the classroom, on the athletic fields, and in the social and moral life of our school. It is our sincere hope that Springfield College has been enriched by our presence, and that we in turn have acquired the spiritual, social and physical qualities offered to us which will guide us in our life work. Our thanks to our faculty and administration can only be expressed in the work we do in helping others to find a richer and more satisfying life. Our aim will always be to impart to others as much of the joy of living as we have found here in four short years. The present troubled state of the world has thrown us a great challenge, requiring that we use the philosophy of life we have gained here in the truest tradition of our school, as we do our share in helping all men find a free and happy life.

ALPHA PHI OMEGA OFFICERS President Recording Secretary Corresponding Secretary T reasurer Historian Dick Marvin Brad Currey Bud Havens Ray Lovely Forrest Bateman Alpha Phi Omega was organized on campus for the purpose of furthering brotherhood and service projects as well as serving as an organization of fellowship for former Boy Scouts. A.P.O. undertakes many useful projects each year such as the publishing of the Student Directory, operating the second hand book store, lining the parking lot, and sponsoring many non-profit dances. The Springfield chapter is also responsible for creating active fraternities at A.I.C. and assisting in the same project at the University of Massachusetts. It is hoped that any undergraduate with scouting experience and with a desire to help his school will join A.P.O. and help keep Gamma Eta chapter in the high position it holds on campus today. 86 OFFICERS Commodor e Vice Commodore Purser Scribe Historian Faculty Advisor Dick Snyder Sterling Jones Frank Wolcott Robert Klinedinst John Hetherington Mr. Silvia The purpose of the Springfield College Aquatic Club is the advancement of aquatics and promotion of the aquatic, social, and cultural life of its members. Swimming greats such as Bob Kiputh, Joe Verdeur, Wayne Moore and Jim Malane have been brought to our campus by the Aquatic Club in recent years as part of its program of the promotion and advancement of acquatics. Under the social spotlight were the annual Freestyle Fling dance, and the traditional Water Carnival which is usually held in the winter term and features swimmers in the national spotlight. The funds received from the Water Carnival are put into the college fund for a desperately needed new swimming pool. The Aquatic Club was among the first club to arrange for acceptance of co-eds to the campus by allowing one of its offices to be left vacant last spring so it could be filled in the fall term by an eligible co-ed.

Walters Dr. David DeMarche This spring the Springfield College Association of Secretaries marked its fifth year as a campus organization. The organization is unique in the fact that it is the first student chapter of its kind on the college campus. The A.O.S. has as its purpose the professional growth of students beyond the bounds of academic curricula and to acquaint students with the philosophy and nature of the Y.M.C.A. This purpose was achieved through the group attendance at profes- sional conferences throughout the year. Many speakers were brought to the campus and the group in turn visited many Y.M.C.A.’s for a look at their program and organization. The high spots in this year ' s activities were the annual banquet and the all important secretarial visitation. The A.O.S. was host to the Regional Personnel Managers of Y.M.C.A.’s throughout the coun- try who visit the campus each year to acquaint all students interested with the Y.M.C.A. and its job opportunities. A.O.S. members enjoyed a personal fellowship with those men at a dinner meeting held in connection with their visit. OFFICERS President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Faculty Advisor Arnold Arsenault Richard Marvin Jim O ' Brien Richard Bole Mr. M. L. Walters The Springfield College Barbell Club, although one of the newest or- ganizations in school, has advanced greatly in its endeavor to promote weight- lifting and body building on campus. Since its founding the club has expanded rapidly in both membership and equipment. Many speakers are brought in which adds greatly to expanding the interest in this form of exercise. This year a weightlifting team has been organized which plans to com- pete with similar organizations from other schools. A meet with M.I.T. has already been held with our team returning victorious. It is the goal of the club to join the Intercollegiate Weightlifting Association which is now being formed. The group hopes that in the future the club can do more in the fields of conditioning and correction, both important parts of the entire Physical Education program. If this goal is reached the Barbell Club will feel it has been successful in its attempt to improve the general health and welfare of the students of the college. First Row, left to right: R.

BARBELL CLUB 89 The Calendar Committee this year brought to Springfield a few firsts in features that will undoubtedly remain long after its members have left these hallowed walls. The theme of this year ' s calendar was The Present and The Future.” Throughout the calendar this theme was borne out by pic- tures of campus life in the present and the proposed additions to the college. Another first was the day to day schedule which was designed to be helpful to the absent minded professors” and students as well. The calendar was more economical in both price and printing cost than in previous years. With the cost of most luxury items out of the reach of students, this year’s calendar was well received. The hand pocket-sized edition was a familiar sight among the busy faculty and students who relied on it to keep them informed of their com- mittee meetings, conferences, classes, and time for coffee.” Praise should be given to Editor Don Baxter and the rest of his committee for their fine job.

Thompson, Eduardo Villareal Department Director Mr. Harold Burke Club Leaders Bruce Chase, George Conward, Stephen Breiger, William Wigham, Forrest Bateman, Robert Segien This is the sixth postwar year the Group Work and Community Organization Department has sponsored this project. While still part of the field work experience of some of the students, a great deal of volunteer leadership has made it a successful venture. Through its pro- gram of recreational, social and educational activities, it serves the neighborhood boys. The membership this year was 177. Very active in supporting the Club ' s program was a Parents’ Club of 30 members which met monthly and aided the Clubs in many ways, especially by sponsoring a benefit party to raise funds for the yearly awards. A major contri- bution has been the woodcraft shop for use of the boys. Regular weekly gym and pool sessions were held on two nights each week, one night for the younger boys, the other for the older boys. Special small interest groups met at other times to engage in a program of their own selection under the guidance of one of the student club leaders. These programs included hikes, parties, craft classes, radio broadcasts, attendance at sports events and a carnival night. 91 .-vVy . « • u CHEERLEADERS CLUB This year something new hits been added to the Springfield Col- lege cheerleading squad — GIRLS. With the admission of women to the college for the first time on a large scale, the cheerleaders recog- nized the possibilities of adding glamour to the masculinity of the squad. Try-outs were held to select six of the thirty girls interested in cheerleading. Another first added this year was the formation of a Cheerleaders Club. It was assumed that being organized as a club would result in a more efficient, more enthusiastic and better trained group of cheer- leaders. Under the understanding guidance of Mr. Vernon Cox, the faculty advisor, the club was organized and officers were elected. A constitution was drawn up, outlining the aims and objectives of the new club. Although the club was not formed until late in the football season, some evidence of a more efficient squad was apparent. Membership in the club at the present time is limited to the cheerleaders themselves but a committee has been formed to study the possibilities of organizing a Pep Club” for all students interested in furthering the school spirit of Springfield College.

At Springfield College this opportunity of extending our under- standing of peoples of different lands is materially aided by the Cos- mopolitan Club. The students meet informally for interchange of ideas, and good fellowship. This club not only serves as a social center for the foreign stu- dent, but serves as a means of orientation to these students to the American ways of life, since the membership consists of both foreign and American students. 93 COSMOPOLITAN CLUB i Seated, left to right: S.

ABBEY HALL DORM COUNCIL OFFICERS President Vice President Social Chairman Secretary-Treasurer Faculty Advisor Carolyn Birdsall Sophie Keagle Sophie Keagle Barbara Jolly Mrs. Dorothy Wright The Abbey Hall Dorm Council is the representative governing body of Abbey Hall. Elected early in the fall, the council has had to face and solve many problems. In this, its first year of existence, the Dorm Council has dealt with the many intricacies involved in formu- lating a constitution, establishing policies, and generally setting up a basis of government for the following years. The Council meets weekly to discuss current and pressing issues, to help plan social activities for the dormitory, and to act as a gov- erning and coordinating body for all residents of Abbey Hall. This democratic approach and philosophy which guided the Council in carrying out their responsibilities is unique for Campus living groups in the present day College picture. Springfield College thus utilized an excellent opportunity for putting into practice some of the more modern theories of group government. 94 First Row, left to right: C. Schaaf, J. Gray, V.

ALUMNI HALL DORM COUNCIL The Alumni Hall Dorm Council was organized this year to serve a real and pressing need in Alumni Hall. It was felt by many resi- dents last year that a representative body elected by the residents of the dorm, should make policies regulating rules and procedures, aid in setting up social events, and in general, make Alumni Hall a better and a more pleasant place to live. This group made up of two representatives from each wing in the dorm along with the executive committee, are pioneering in new fields of endeavor; mainly, — discipline, cleanliness, and social events. Some of the outstanding improvements of the council up to date are: establishment of wing lounges for every wing, continuance of linen service, starting of monthly dorm parties, and the establishment of a recreational room. The first elections of the council were held and a capable execu- tive committee headed by President Don Sandstrom were first to hold office. This executive committee, along with the rest of the representa- tives, meet monthly as a group. Left to right: C. Fry, B. Brown, B. Larson. Head Counselor Betty Ann Larson Counselors Charlotte Fry, Bernice Brown Faculty Advisor Mrs. Wright DORM COUNSELORS With the coming of co-eds to the Springfield College campus and the official opening of Emily F. Abbey Hall on September 18, 1951, there started a new counseling program for women students. Under the Abbey Hall counselor plan, each counselor, a member of the senior class, is the friendly advisor to approximately twenty-five girls. It is to this group that those living in Abbey Hall may turn with questions and problems. In addition, a graduate student acts as Head Counselor and works directly with the Office of the Dean of Women. It is she who is responsible for the execution and interpretation of college policies pertaining to the dormitory, as well as those regula- tions set up by the Dorm Council. This last named organization consists of elected representatives from the student body who form a self-governing unit for the dormitory. Because this has been the first group of women students on the campus, prac- tically every situation has been new and different. Through all of these problems, the counselors have tried to maintain democratic policies in which the entire dormitory works together toward fair and equitable solutions. 96 First Row: W.

It is through the fellowship of the dormitory that the student discovers the real value of coopera- tive living. In the dormitory he is offered the unique opportunity to share with others our cultural heritage in all its phases under the right leaders. Here the student acquires the awareness to make his person, his appearance, his manner, and his total life a true symbol of his inner mind and spirit. We are also in firm conviction that in the dormitory the students may live what they learn in the classroom and on the playing field. It is through such associations that the student develops a view of the world along with the knowledge of his place and his responsibility as a leader in society. We view the past year as an important one in setting new stand- ards for our college dormitory. Realizing the potential value of the dormitory in the life of our students, our continued planning has been that of trying to make the dormitory a real home for its residents, one in which the students can take real interest and pride. These are the long range objectives which the dormitory coun- selors individually, and as a group aspire to realize and attain. 97 DRAMATIC CLUB Left to right F. Treuchet, D Defuse, C. Fry, M.

Under the direction of Professor William (Chief) Simpson the club was molded into a well coordinated group of amateur actors whose purpose and aim was to present one play each term; a comedy, mystery, and drama, and to give students and student wives the oppor- tunity to express themselves in a way that was not only enjoyable to them but to the audience as well. In this way both the audience and the members of the club shared in the enjoyment of the legitimate stage. First Row, left to right: H. Eichorn, W. Nunez, M. Borden, J. Stebbins, B. Brown, R.

FRESHMAN WEEK COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN: DOUGLAS POPE The Freshman Week Committee, composed of campus leaders with a knowledge of our college and an interest in being of service are the first to greet the new Freshman Students each year. Springfield College prizes this first week of orientation for all new students and places the responsibility upon this group of men and women to pro- vide an induction experience that will be satisfying and valuable to the incoming Frosh. The purpose of Freshman Week is to introduce the Freshmen to not only the faculty and club organizations but to the traditions and ideals of the College. This is accomplished through many long hours of guidance by the Committeemen working in small groups of 15 Freshmen through the process of registration, medicals, testing, and other routine matters. In addition these friendship groups enjoy the experiences of the counselor as they take part in parties, shows, Eastern States Exposition, picnics, dances, Dorm meetings and faculty home visits. This is a full week in which the success depends upon the ability of the counselor to guide the questioning Freshmen into a new en- vironment rich in tradition and educationally challenging. 99 Kneeling, Left to right: T.

Enjoying its second full time schedule last spring, the Golf Club competed with a number of the leading collegiate golf teams of New England. The home matches were played at the Springfield Country Club where the members welcomed the golfers cordially, and viewed the various matches with much interest. The organization has contributed much to the furthering of golf as an activity to be participated in by the students and faculty of Springfield College. It has worked in co-ordination with the intra-mural staff in organizing student tournaments. The team representing the club fared quite well against the var- sity golf teams of New England. With a record of 6 wins and 5 losses, the team exhibited fine skills as well as good sportsmanship, and golf etiquette. The weekend of May 10th the team competed in the New England Intercollegiate Golf Tournament at the Oakley Country Club in Watertown, Massachusetts. Finishing among the first ten teams out of twenty-four teams entered in the tournament, the team also placed Paul Fako, the captain, among the sixteen qualifiers to compete for individual honors. It is the aim of the club to further golf to the extent that a curriculum in golf will be adopted by the college as well as a varsity team. 100 OFFICERS President Vice President Secretary Treasurer I CC.

The club is looking forward to establishing itself in Eastern handball circles by scheduling such worthy opponents as R.P.I., U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York Athletic Club, Boston Y.M.C.A., Worcester Y.M.C.A., and a few others. These matches will serve to develop sociability, and also a means of creating high ideals of sportsmanship through competitive channels. Kneeling, left to right: S. Rowsell, J. Girvin, D. Moore, H.

These knights on the ice organized on the informal basis, contributed their own ex- penses and handled their own administrative problems. They met the strong demand on campus for ice hockey by offering games with the following teams: R.P.I., St. Anselm’s, A.I.C., Suffolk, Amherst, and Brown University, last year ' s N.C.A.A. Intercollegiate runner-ups. This year the Hockey Club has a new coach in Mr. Jack C. Proud, who is a graduate student here at Springfield College.

Hubbard Moving at a pace that was faster than ever, the Hosaga Indians once again presented recitals of Indian rituals and dances before numerous groups throughout New England during the school year. In addition to this the spring vacation was spent on the Hosaga’s second annual trip to many cities in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsyl- vania. These recitals are only one of the ways in which the Hosagas seek to create a better understanding of the red man among the general public. This group also does extensive research concerning the American Indian and his way of life. It is through these methods that the Hosagas achieve their objectives, and build for themselves the knowledge which is used in summer camps and positions in the field of recreation. 103 INDOOR TRACK CLUB First Row, left to right: C.

Overcoming many handicaps in materials, finances and transportation problems the club enjoyed a highly successful season. The season started out with the Boston Y Meet in which Jack Hearst and Frank McGrath were medal winners, while other members of the club just missed the scoring column. After the Boston Meet the sprinters and the relay team took over and competed against the best competition in the country in the Boston K of C, Boston B.A.A. games and the New York Millrose games. Paced by sprinters Norm Anderson, Art Pilch and Herb Berquist the dashes were well represented in these meets. In the meantime the Mile Relay Team of Larry Rowell, Chick Hungerford, Joe Cummiskey and Jack Hearst showed the results of hard work and cooperation and ran well in the New Englands, Boston K. of C. and came through with a brilliant performance in the B.A.A. games to take first place. Not to be outdone by the relay team, Don Sandstrom with a near record throw took a second in the 35-lb. weight throw in the New Englands. In the same meet Bob Goodwin took a third in the one-mile run against the top milers in this section of the country. Again this year the trip to Maine will be the high point of the season. The team will be in top shape to defend last year ' s win against the highly touted U. of Maine tracksters. Much thanks should bb extended to Bill Dwyer for his excellent work with the sprinters, also to Dick Miller, who did much in his capacity of advisor.

OFFICERS President Vice President Recording Secretary Corresponding Secretary Bill Elliott Ted Hu’nr Bernice Brown Burt Hay The Inter-Club Council was formed two years ago to coordinate various all-campus functions such as the All-College Outing, Spring- field Night, and Stepping-Up Day. Although the organization is comparatively new the effects of this council have already become obvious as evidenced by the strengthening of the A. I. C. -Springfield relationship through joint dances and social get-togethers. The membership of this organization consists of one representa- tive of each class and organization that is officially recognized by the Social Activities Board. With the coming of co-eds to the Springfield College campus this organization has been of prime importance to the unification of our college social life. INTRAMURAL COUNCIL The purpose of the Intramural Council at Springfield College is to plan and execute all the Intramural activities. The council is com- posed of students elected annually by the class they represent. The Council provides a program which has something in it for all men who were not participating on a college sponsored team. All events are arranged competitively and are designed to give all students as many sports experiences as possible. The program provides a good outlet for competitive play activities.

This purpose is carried out through speakers, discussions, and films which point up subjects of importance in the International world scene. As a result of their ex- perience in this organization, the students procure a broad and varied understanding of the processes involved in world affairs and develop into better citizens as a result. The activities of the club have been expanded in the past year. The club has purchased books and pamphlets and added them to the library. Films were shown this year and were attended by students and the public. An International Relations Convocation was presented and a one day excursion to the United Nations in New York was among the activities enjoyed by the club. Unity with other colleges was established by participation in joint meetings, both at home and away, by the International Relations Clubs of Springfield, American International, Mt. Holyoke and Harvard Colleges. 107 1 First Row, left to right C. Quinn, J. Gray, G. Christow, R. Goodwin, 1. Battino, B. Jolly Second Row: E. Fitzgerald, E. Zimmerman, A. Lent, C. Behney, S. Simpson.

Something new was attempted when the Prom was held on Saturday night instead of the usual Fri- day night date. In addition to the Prom of Saturday night there were other features such as the circle and square dance, athletic events, and a band and glee club concert. Open house at Abbey Hall and Alumni Hall completed a most successful week-end. With the addition of an active group of co-eds to the Springfield Campus the Prom week-end and the prom itself were assured of being the top social event of the year.” Co-Chairmen Bob Goodwin, George Christow Secretary-treasurer Mike Fiorillo Faculty Advisor Miss Elena Sliepcevich OFFICERS President Vice President Secretary Treasurer I.C.C. Rep.

Last year the Key played an important role during the Interna- tional Volleyball tournament by helping with transportation, and act- ing as hosts for the various teams which came to our campus. The Key does not only work with visitors but on our own campus it helps to sponsor dances and assists with other campus functions. The society is composed of those students from the Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior classes who can attain 21 hours service in any of the above stated functions. Upon the attainment of the 21 hours service, the student may become an active member and is entitled to all privileges of the club. 109 First Row, left to right: R. Bartis, H. Tibbitts, J. Ewart, M.

Musical activities at Springfield College have been on the increase in the past few years under the capable guidance of Director of Music Mr. Gilbert Vickers. This year, in addition to the Band and Glee Club, the Music Department now includes The Scotchmen and The Chorale. The Band, as in the past, is continuing to offer top quality music at athletic events, convocations and other gatherings, as well as providing an opportunity for those interested in this phase of music to gain a beneficial experience. The Scotchmen are a vocal ensemble of nine voices, whose repertoire accents music in the familiar and popu- lar style. This group is in its second year of existence. The Scotchmen have performed informally at dances and other social functions and are also featured in the Glee Club Concerts. The Glee Club is a musical organization on cam- pus that furthers the educational values and enjoyment received from a singing experience. The club represents the school in all its endeavors and has set as its main objective: to offer music of such a quality that it will rank on a par with the better singing collegiate clubs in the country. Since 1950 the Glee Club has been taking an annual tour throughout various cities and states around New England and their performances have been very well received. From a small group functioning as a SAB sponsored activity, the Club has matured to the ranks of an organization sponsored by the administra- tion. It can be taken for credit (1 SH) and the mem- bers are responsible for regular attendance. The Chorale is a new group that has recently been formed by Mr. Vickers and is made up mainly of student wives, co-eds and men students. Thus far the Chorale has confined its efforts to informal appearances at social events on campus. The first performance of the year was at the Christmas Convocation and later was fol- lowed by another Convocation appearance in the Win- ill ter. OUTING CLUB Left to right: D. Seamans, R Willoughby, R VanCamp, R. Schonheiter, P. Richards, R. Christie, W. Kapa, P. Statler. The purposes of the Springfield College Outing Club are to promote friendship, fellowship, enjoyment, and interest in outing activities; to cooperate with outing clubs of nei ghbor- ing colleges in outing functions; to help train men in leader- ship in the outing program of communities; and to foster social contacts with neighboring men’s and women’s colleges. Outing Club members are very active during the year, taking part in field trips, ski trips, square dances, splash parties, and the like.

E. Majors Association continued its activities aimed at furthering the student ' s knowledge and appreciation of his chosen field. Throughout the year meetings were held at which time many in- teresting speakers connected with the field of physical education were invited. These men gave much information to members which will serve them in better preparing themselves professionally before enter- ing the field. Once again recent graduates spoke of some of the prob- lems they have met in their first year in the field. This meeting proved to be of special interest and value to all club members. Plans have been formulated to incorporate the women students of physical education into the club until such time that they are sufficient in number to organize their own association. It is felt that their participation in club activities will prove to be of great value. With membership increasing each year it is hoped that in the near future all physical education majors will soon be active members of their only professional organization to be found on campus.

One of the smaller organizations at Spring- field it is growing by leaps and bounds, in both membership and programs. Although primarily open to members of the Recreation and Camping majors and planning its program in terms of the interests of the men who have chosen these fields as their professional goal, the society also welcomes all others who are interested in Recreation and Camping activities. In order to better acquaint its members with the meaning of Recreation and Camping as a professional field the Society offers on campus weekly Wednesday night Circle and Square Dancing, All- College Barn dances; and participation in functions on campus such as helping organize recreation activities, such as for the all-college outing, entertainment at the traditional A.I.C.-Springfield College pre- game football pep rally, and many other campus activities that demand recreation for ' the student body. Besides physical activities Society members take active part in conventions of national recognition that pertain to the Recreation and Camping Field, take field trips to hospitals, playground areas, recreation facilities, etc., and work with similar clubs from other in- stitutions in the exchange of ideas, invitations, and planned activities. Periodically throughout the year professional men in the field are brought in to speak to the Society on pertinent issues that will benefit tbe members through better understanding of Recreation and Camping. All members are encouraged to serve on Committees that tends to broaden administrative abilities, and also better acquaint them with problems that will later be met in the field.

They attempt to see both sides of the question, and then work out arguments so that they may meet the opposition on equal terms. This permits each individual to see both sides of a controversial question, prepare, and then debate them with some of the best teams in New England. With the capable advising of Mr. Whitaker T. Deininger, the Club members have opposed Amherst, Harvard, Smith, and partici- pated in the Tufts tournament with success. Along with these de- bates with other Colleges there are many practice debates within the club itself so the teams may represent themselves and the College in the best possible light.

As in the past three years, the Ski team again operated on an informal basis and made a name for itself in the New England Inter- collegiate Ski Conference. Springfield, with its conference champion- ship team returning intact again, enjoyed a very good season al- though it was nosed out of a chance of holding the conference trophy for two straight years by the Boston College team. The team opened their six-meet schedule by racing against a powerful Norwich Uni- versity team at Norwich. With very good times in the downhill event the Maroon schussboomers held Norwich to a small fifteen point lead. Throughout the rest of the season the slat riders placed very well in both slalmon and downhill, paced by Coach Bob Hawley, the conference combined champion. At the home meet held at Mac River Glen, the team walked away with the Carlisle Trophy for the second straight year. The season was brought to a close the following week with the championship race. With the arrival of the co-eds on the Springfield campus co-recrea- tional skiing gained popularity and plans for week-end skiing trips to nearby winter resorts were topics for conversation wherever a group of skiiers congregated. 118 SOCIAL ACTIVITIES BOARD President Vice President Secretary Treasurer OFFICERS Bob Becker Bob Emerson Jack Adams Mr. D. Bagster-Collins - The Social Activities Board is the main spring of the after hours” life here at Springfield. Traditionally it is composed of both students and faculty. Its members are composed of a cross section of the students here at Springfield. It is here that you find members of all the classes sitting together working on problems common to all. The main function of the group is to accept or reject club char- ters, budgets, social events and like activities. Through this board, the religious, cultural and educational life of the students is enhanced, and the high ideals of the college furthered. First Row, left to right: E. Sliepcevich, R. Emerson, R.

The students participating in the Springfield chapter enjoy the work of this organization, and at the same time work with the faculty in promoting the Christian principles. The S.C.A. offers weekly chapel services, intercollegiate confer- ences, forums, speakers, deputation teams, faculty home visitations and community projects. All of this tends to promote the needed Christian atmosphere in the students’ lives. STUDENT CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION First Row, left to right: P. Wentworth, C. Top, B. Brown. Second Row: H.

The weekly meetings throughout the year of the Council are marked by problems and concerns affecting the life of each student. Elected representatives from each class provide the organization with lines of communication to bolster the democratic process at Springfield. Elections in the spring decide the men and women who will provide the leadership for each year. Recognition by each student of his right and responsibility in selecting the Council is of paramount importance in the effectiveness of this group. Council members are active outside of Council meetings on mat- ters of Student business since each is related to several specific projects. Excellent experience is the reward in terms of knowledge in financing, organizing, approving, investigating, interpreting, and recruiting which is a valuable contribution to Springfield College and later to the community to which each member will find his place of service.

Additions such as a ping-pong table were wel- comed by many, but even the popularity of these was surpassed by that of a television set installed in the lounge. In the winter the committee organized a week packed with fun for the students, asking only sup- port for the Union. Featured were a dance and an auction in which services of the members of the faculty and staff were sold to students. Through these and other activities, the committee has tried to stimulate interest in the Student Union.

TRADITIONS COMMITTEE The Traditions Committee of the class of 54 brought to Springfield College what is hoped will become a new tradition. Our College has always been rich in spirit and tradition, and it has always been the task of the sophomore class to enforce such traditions. The sophs went wholeheartedly about this task of endoctrinating the freshmen and guiding them in preserving our traditions. A committee elected by the class installed the sophomore traditions court before which offenders were brought to be tried by a judge and jury. All those who appeared were given a chance to plead their case. A verdict was then reached, and the offender, if guilty, was given a punishment equal to the offense. The traditions court helped immeasurably to bring the freshmen and sophomore classes in closer unison. A fine quality of spirit was demonstrated by both groups. The Traditions Committee of the class of 54 feels that the traditions committee of the class of 55” will do an even better job in carrying on and instilling this spirit on the class of 56”, because of their own experience with the class of 54”. 125 VTf VARSITY S CLUB Seated, left to right: S.

During the past year the Varsity S” club has seen its member- ship increased considerably. A revitalized program of service to the school and club activities has attracted many of the varsity letter winners to seek admission into this select group. The club’s primary purpose throughout the entire year was to enhance the prestige of the Springfield College Varsity letter and to sustain the traditions of the campus. The Frosh-Soph rope pull, the Homecoming float parade, and a benefit dance for the baseball team were a few of the activities spon- sored by the club this year. This type of activity makes the Varsity S” Club one of the most popular and valuable organizations on campus. The club is indebted to the time and interest received from its popular advisor, Bill Cheney.

In May, the club won the National Collegiate Championship and was runner-up in the International Collegiate Tournament. The Volleyball Club offers any full time student of the college an opportunity to play competitively one of the fastest growing sports in this country and the world. The club also has become one of the leaders in America in the teaching of play- ing skills and techniques. This is done by the numerous clinics which the club holds throughout the year in Y.M.C.A.’s, churches and schools. The name of the college is spread at these clinics, and the club has raised the name of Springfield College to the highest level in volleyball circles. Marshall Doc Walters of the faculty, and advisor to the club, has been elected Vice-Presi- dent of the National Volleyball Association and is the Editor of the Volleyball Guide. Dr. George Fisher, President of the As- sociation, is on the Board of Directors of Springfield College. Two members of the club, Nils Parma and Walt Dobek, have been named to the All-American Team, and Wilbur Peck has been named to the second team. The club traveled to Toronto and won the Mythical Canad- ian Championship. The titles which the club now holds are: National Collegiate Championship, Mid-Western Collegiate Championship, Middle Atlantic Collegiate Championship, East- ern Collegiate Championship, Canadian Championship (east- ern), National Consolation Tournament Champions, 2nd Place — International Collegiate Championships. This year’s club has a real challenge to retain the titles which it now holds and it also hopes to add new ones. Members of the Volleyball Club play for one reason only. No Varsity letters, no official class cuts, and no school recognition is given to the club members. They play because they love to play volleyball. Left to right A. Charkoudian, L. Triner, N.

The actual physical embodiments of the station have greatly increased since last year and the station is now able to compare favorably with other college stations throughout the country in many respects. 129 And visioned men come thronging Her spacious gates.” This line of our Alma Mater no longer fully describes the annual September scene on the Springfield campus. In 1951, forty-four Freshmen women and fifteen upper- class transfers joined the visioned men” as they stormed the gates of the college. From the Province of Alberta, North Dakota and Michigan, from down east” and Nova Scotia, from Jersey, Pennsylvania, Japan, India, and Holland they came by planes, boat, train, and family car. Outnumbered nine to one, the first group of women students nevertheless have made themselves heard in this man’s world. In the afternoon South Field was the rendezvous for groups of women in maroon jumpers and rang with the shouts of field hockey, soccer or speed ball teams. The tennis courts were sprinkled with women in white tennis dresses. Circle Square” found an enthusiastic group of supporters in swirling skirts. The Student Union discovered that women could and would wield paint brushes, mops and dust rags; and throw out new ideas at the same time. Dorm” dancing took a new lease on life and mixed swimming drew a large group to the McCurdy Nataitorium each Wednesday night. While sharing in the many phases of college life and extra-curricula program already in existence, the women have been building up a life of their own. As the men have Varsity Club and Maroon Key, so the women have started a P. E. Majors Club and have reinforced a small group of women who started the White Key in 1950-’51. In Abbey Hall, their residence, the Dorm Council has been working out the ways of living together that would allow maximum freedom for the individual within a frame work which supports and contributes to the welfare and happiness of the whole group. But perhaps it is in the cafeteria, — refurnished, redecorated, and rejuvenated that the change is most noticeable. As men and women share ideas, laughs, and gripes, meals become leisurely and enjoyable affairs. While there may be some who mourn the demise of the old Springfield, it looks as though we have decided to throw in our lot with the rest of the world and accept the feminine influence. Following approval of a charter change in May 1950 by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Springfield College immediately embarked upon a program of studies leading to the Doctor of Physical Education degree. During 1950-’51, there were three full-time and ten part-time students engaged in study toward this degree. During the summer session of 1951, thirty-one students entered into study for the doctorate at Springfield. During the present school year, twelve full-time candidates are studying toward this degree. In all, some fifty students have begun some study beyond the Master’s degree. The majority of the present doctoral student body are preparing for college teach- ing. A number of these candidates are on sabbatical leave from other colleges and universities. The major objectives of doctoral study at Springfield College are: to help the graduate student achieve intellectual maturity through continuous and logical methods of thought; to develop capacity for independent and creative work in his field; to enlarge the scope of his ideas through relating an expanding acquaintance with a specialized field to the great expanse of human knowledge; to extend his usefulness in the social sphere through inspiring social thought and consciousness; and to assure his professional and social leadership on a broad humane scale. 132 DOCTORAL PROGRAM First Row, left to right: D.

FENCING CLUB The Springfield College Fencing Club has been revived this year by members of the Freshman Class. The purpose of this club is to provide instruc- tion in the art of fencing and to give an oppor- tunity for students to participate in competitive fencing. The foil men are interested in cultivating sportsmanship and an attitude of responsibility toward the school and the sport. The group is work- ing to establish fencing as an intercollegiate varsity sport under the leadership of Bryan Gosling, class of 55”. Left to right B. Gossling, G. Mathews, A. Viola, P. Maddox, J.

The 1951 Springfield College baseball season was a comparatively long and truly great one. Spring- field, with a large nucleus of veterans returning from 1950’s potent aggregation and a sprinkling of promising but untried sophomores, was expected to have another successful season under the expert guidance of Head Coach Archie Allen. Its success can be measured by one singular achievement, that of representing the New England N.C.A.A. District One in the annual College World Series held at the new and massive Omaha Stadium in Omaha, Ne- braska. A Southern trip, taken during the Spring vaca- tion, helped the team immeasurably for it gave Coach Allen a chance to evaluate his team’s ability to per- form under fire. Then came the turning point of the season. With a so-so record of 2-2, the Maroons encountered its bitter crosstown rivals, A.I.C., and with small but tricky Hank Tominaga, Hawaii’s greatest, turned back the Aces 3-0 without a hit. Sporting an imposing 14-4 regular season record, the weak-hitting but speedy and fighting Maroons were matched with the classy and hard-hitting out- fit from Brown University in a best-of-three series to determine a New England Champion to represent District One in Omaha, Nebraska. The first game was won by Brown 2-0. One game down in a pressure-packed series, Springfield bounced back and tied the series up with a thrill- ing 3-2 victory. In the third and final contest, Hank Tominaga pitched a masterful 2-0 shutout. For the first time in the history of the school Springfield was to be represented in the N.C.A.A. College World Series as the New England District One Champion. With Municipal Stadium nearly filled, Spring- field showed the spirit, class and determination of its ball club and stole the opener from Texas A. M. A classy team from Oklahoma University handed our Maroons a 7-1 defeat as Springfield could only salvage two hits and one run. Tennessee Vols finished Springfield with the last opposition as they defeated the Maroons 2-0. In closing, it might be said that win, lose or draw, this ball club can be proud of the manner in which it represented the triangle — Spirit, Mind and Body. On behalf of those who so faithfully supported them, we would like to express our con- gratulations to Coach Allen and this team, not only because of their great quality of the will to win,” but, because of the manner in which it represented Springfield College. 141 Someth i Under the capable guidance of Coach Joe Ku- bachka, the Junior Varsity baseball teams had a very successful season. The team compiled an impressive record of six wins and two losses. Steady play in the infield combined with hard hitting from the outfield enabled the team to win consistently. Another strong point in this year ' s squad was the battery. The pitchers were Tom Tewskbury, Frank Warren and Richmond Baker. The relief chores were handled by very capable Richmond Baker. He was the fireman of the staff and saved some tight ball games. As a result of the fine spirit combined with sound athletic ability, the team was able to defeat the following ball clubs: Cheshire Academy, Loomis Academy, Nichols Junior College, Hartford Exten- sion of the University of Connecticut, and Newport Naval Training Station. The only two defeats came at the hands of the Westover Field nine up at the Westover Air Base and Nichols Junior College. FRESHMAN BASEBALL Coach Ed Steitz came through with another well- coached ball team that ended the season successfully with a 5-2 record. After the hard process of picking men for the squad, the coach wit h the help of Frank Holleran and Fred Woefle moulded together his starting lineup. Pitching proved to be a hard task, but Leary (3-2), Biss (2-0) and Fay came through and formed a dependable mound staff. Strength down the middle was one strong point of the team. A good double-play combination with Tinghino at second and Carrier at short, backed up by A1 Griggs, a sharp-fielding center fielder, filled up” that middle. Sunderland and Flowers were the catching mainstays. Bozzo at third and Utter and Weidner at first filled out the infield. Thayer and Urra were the other two ballhawks in the outfield. Bob Utter, batting .411, and A1 Griggs, the team’s long-ball hitter at .367, were the two big guns,” with Weidner, Sunderland and Tinghino all batting over .300, provided the big punch at the plate. This, plus tremendous spirit and hustle made the Frosh a team to be feared by the opposition. At the end of the season, the long-ball-hitting Griggs and hustling little Lou Tighino were elected co-captains. The season wound-up in accordance with a suc- cessful varsity season, and, without a doubt, Head Coach Archie Allen is going to find a few good varsity prospects from the ’55 ' s to replace some of his graduating N.E. champs. 143 JUNIOR VARSITY BASEBALL RECORD 144 VARSITY Spring Opp. 63 Westover Field 66 68 Brown 65 73 Wesleyan 57 56 Adelphi 59 52 Wagner 73 65 Hofstra 66 80 Upsala 79 83 New Hampshire 52 78 Clark 50 74 Rhode Island 69 64 Providence 67 72 Am.

Bunn’s varsity basketball team playing an ambi- tious rwenty-six game schedule went through the first three-quarters of their campaign with the best Maroon won-lost r ecord in the past five years. Following several heart-breaking setbacks during a Christmas trip to the New York metropolitan area, the varsity cagers played some fine basketball after the first of the year to earn themselves a high rating in the New England college basketball realm. k BASKETBALL Sitting, left to right: J. Pelcher (Captain), L. McClements, E. Mulzac, J. Hart. Second Row: E. Steitz (Coach), L Vye, A. Schutts, C. Pilatowski, J. Bunn (Head Coach). Standing: E. Redmond, H. Good, R. Talbert, F. Korbut. As has been the case in the past few seasons, the Maroons have had to face a decided height disadvantage in almost every game and yet the charges of Coach Bunn have only dropped two games by decisive margins. Springfield continued to use Coach Bunn’s situation or sliding zone defense that has been so effective in recent seasons, and with Alan Schutts showing the way, the Maroons have been averaging almost 70 points a game throughout the season. The varsity roster only shows eleven players this year and they include seniors Jim Hart, Bob Talbert, Ed Redmond, and Capt. Jim Pelcher; juniors Larry McClements, and Alan Schutts; sophomores Harry Good, Frank Korbut, Chet Pilatowski, and Lloyd Vye and freshman Elias Mulzac. The offensive stalwarts for the team have been Alan Schutts, whose 22 point per game average places him among the ten leading small college scorers in the country, Capt. Jim Pelcher, with his 10 points per game average, and Jim Hart, who has hit double figures in most games. Larry McClements, Bob Tal- bert and Ed Redmond have also chipped in with clutch scoring performances in several contests. Schutts w ' as also named to the All New England Basketball squad selected by the area’ coaches for Collier ' s Magazine. The Maroons set a new school scoring record by scoring 89 points in their victory over Boston University and overtime victories over American International and Massachusetts high- lighted early season successes in the Field House. The Maroon five accomplished quite a feat when they became the first post-war Springfield quintet to defeat Rhode Island on their home floor in Kingston. Although four seniors will be lost through graduation, the prospect for another fine year in 1952-’53 seems bright as several promising transfers will be eligible for intercollegiate competition. ySINCFIE|.J ' jpSKCfttO ' ' jfwwcnt ' eWFIELo ' tfBINCFIEu s cmicfim SPBWFIfto ' ' jPWKfltl, Vfil HC ttFt ' l NOSMOKNG Action Under The Boards J.V. BASKETBALL The 1 95 1 52 J.V. basketball team, under the tutelage of Head Coach Archie Allen and Assistant Coach A1 Werner, displayed a brand of basketball which met with great success. The squad consisted of a number of players from last season’s team along with several outstanding 1 950-’5 1 yearling per- formers. The season opened shortly after the Christmas recess, and with the A.I.C. sec- onds” furnishing the opposition, the Ma- roons gained their initial victory. The team continued their winning ways by downing Leicester Junior College and A.I.C. for the second time. After three straight triumphs, the J.V forces lost their first game to a good Holyoke Junior College five in a thrilling double overtime contest. This game was followed by another loss at the hands of the Bridgeport YMCA, but in the next encounter the Allenmen re- bounded strongly by handily beating the Roslyn Air Force team. At this writing, the season was incomplete. Games remain- ing included the Hartford Uconns, Cheshire Academy, and the Springfield Freshmen. 146 Kttu 5 i The Transfer basketball team is composed of boys who have trans- ferred from other colleges and are therefore, ineligible for intercollegi- ate competition. The team this year consisted of eleven players and was coached by Anthony Tony” Hop- kins. The purpose of the team is to provide opposition for the varsity, using the style of play which the opponents will use. In this way the varsity can accustom themselves to the system which their opponents use and vary their play accordingly. The Transfer team scrimmages the freshman and junior varsity teams also. The schedule of the Transfer team was not limited to these home scrim- mages. The T” team gave an excel- lent account of itself in practice games against such formidable foes as University of Massachusetts, Am- herst, Trinity, and American Interna- tional College. On every occasion, the Transfer team showed the ability that only comes from top coaching and long hours of practice. TRANSFER BASKETBALL The freshman basketball team has been enjoying a very successful sea- son under the direction of Coach Vernon Cox and assisted by Melvin Makowiki. Getting off to a fast start the frosh squad hung up four straight victories over Clark, Rhode Island, Providence, and Boston University before tasting defeat at the hands of a strong Yale team by a one point margin. They came back to drub a weak Portland Jr. College team before losing their second game of the season to a tall Holy Cross five. From all indications the frosh should finish the season in good fashion and should provide a wealth of material for next year’s varsity.

Judd (Coach). The loss of six lettermen left but two lettermen, Bill Hillman and Co-Captain Bill Coughlin, returning to the 1951 cross-country squad. The loss of Juniors Art Farnham to the Marines and George Davis to University of Vermont, put the big gap into the spread as both were expected to return and turn in their usual top performances. The already-weakened team was to be further impaired by injury to Co-Captain Coughlin. The inexperienced team of Coach Judd faced a heavy nine-meet schedule. Opening at Rhode Island, the Juddmen took a 50-15 whipping from the ever-powerful Rams. The team dropped their second straight to the Coast Guard Academy by a close 30-28 score, with Co-Captain Coughlin being injured and lost for the remainder of the season at this contest. The first win for the Juddmen was recorded at home against Williams, with Bill Hillman and Co-Captain Sandy Hayman leading the Maroon’s attack at the finish line. Following this 34-23 win, the team lost to Wesleyan, Providence and Maine, while defeating the harriers of R.P.I. on Homecoming Day to be the only victorious varsity team on the annual day of festivity for returning alumni and guests. At the Connecticut Valley Championships, the team finished in fifth place, while the New England Cham- pionship Meet found the Maroons in fourteenth in a field of some twenty teams. Special mention is deserved by the capable managers of the squad, headed by Larry Locke with his able assistants Paul Statler and Joe Cummiskey, while Everett Phillips turned in a capable job as trainer for the team. 148 wWF f i 0 COlLf- — tOLLIGI if COLLEGE ROLlEB COLLEBt %f � l«GFIf COLLEGE FROSH CROSS-COUNTRY This year s Yearling Cross-Country team was a combination of Frosh and J.V. ' s. Due to the change in eligibility rules freshmen were allowed to partici- pate in athletics on a varsity basis and this resulted in .many of the frosh running with the varsity. Each week the coaches decided who looked the best and tho e who were running well were rewarded with a chance to run with the varsity. This meant that from week to week the personnel of the team was not always the same. The schedule for the frosh team consisted of five meets and two championship runs. Victories were won over Rhode Island, Mount Herman, Wesleyan, and Providence College. The only loss during the regular schedule came at the hands of the R.P.I. frosh. On the whole the frosh team did a fine job and should show well on the varsity next year. 149 VARSITY EXHIBITION TEAM With the coming of December, the Springfield College Exhibition Team opened its 28th season. As in the past the team carried on its tradition of thrilling performances. The Gymnasts” were led by Co-Captains Frank Walcott and Bob Allen. A new addition to the usual schedule of visiting various states came when the team visited Montreal to give a weekend of exhibitions. An extensive Spring trip is also being planned with possibilities of the team spreading its fame to the West Coast. For the fourth consecutive year, Robert Hagglund accompanied the team in its many and difficult rou- tines and kept the performers in perfect timing with his wizardry at the keyboard. The duties of Master of Ceremonies were handled alternately by Don Glines and Charles Houston who kept many audiences amused and interested during the acts. The always-popular Triple Balance” act featured Bob James, Jim O’Brien, and Co-Captain Frank Walcott. Once again, Frank Hartsoe and A1 Alissi thrilled many with their exciting and tense per- formance art of Judo with the capable aid of new- comer Fou Primmer. Meanwhile, Bob Iserman and Fred Steeves brought many a smile and laugh from the audiences with their antics in the clown acts. Plus these performances, the team gave exhibi- tions of modern and tap dancing, tiger leaping and tasks on gymnastic equipment. Finally, Coach Judd’s team left each audience with a lasting impression with their Tableaux of Fiving Statuary” as the final curtain fell. 150 First Row, left to right: D. Glines, A. Allissi, D.

Spring Trip FROSH EXHIBITION TEAM Under the new eligibility rules several outstand- ing freshmen have immediately advanced to the Varsity Exhibition Team. As a result the Freshman Exhibition Team finds itself a capable, but small squad. With the purpose of preparing for varsity competition the Frosh work hard to improve their skill under the guidance of Coach Irv Schmidt. Every week day from 4:00 — 6:00 P.M. the Frosh work out with the varsity team members and from all indications this system will prove to great advan- tage to varsity coach Judd in future years.

Head Coach Ossie Solem and his assistants, Ted Dunn, A1 Werner, Nate Osur, Bob D’Agostino and Andy Speed set out to build a strong grid force. Practice sessions were scheduled daily featuring conditioning exer- cises, fundamentals and intra-squad scrimmages. In quest of that all important game experiences,” Coach Solem sched- uled two scrimmages with other schools. As the first game rolled around, Springfield, dimmed with injuries, found itself pitted in a hard fought contest with the Harvard Crimson Team who came from behind to hand us our first defeat. 152 FOOTBALL First Row, left to right: F.

The Cortland Red Dragons acted as a surprising host as they ran the opening kickoff down the sidelines for a T.D. The Bates College scrappers proved to be on the receiving end of the hard charging Maroon line. Springfield traveled to U. of Conn, for its last meeting with the Huskies for an indefinite period of time. This contest of football talent was the hardest contest of the year with the final period deadlocked at 0-0. Springfield, guests of undefeated St. Michaels eleven, found themselves constantly knocking at the door to paydirt which was closed to all. St. Michaels held the key tightly allowing but one Maroon score. Rhode Island showed its offensive power as they came back in the second half of their homecoming contest with 16 points and a victory. The erratic but potentially good U. of Mass, team was scored upon at will by the Maroons. The highlight of the game w ' as a U. of Mass. 98-yard return of a fourth quarter kickoff. The last act of the football season was staged at Pratt Field against American International College. The teams were evenly matched as they met in perfect football weather for the city title and the mayor’s trophy. The traditionally hard-fought battle ended with A.I.C. on top in the scoring column. Thus the end of the 1951 football season for Springfield College. 153 7; With the elimination of J.V. football, the Springfield College Frosh ' ’ football team included upperclassmen for the first time since the war. A small squad of candi- dates greeted Coach Allen for practice, and, this, plus the fact that some of the better Frosh were lifted up to the Varsity, made the job of the coaches much more difficult. Many of the rough spots were ironed out, however, and the season was finished in successful fashion. Using modified two-platoon system, the offensive eleven was composed of Frosh, with the defense predominantly upperclasmen. With two weeks of practice under their belts, Springfield opened against Wesleyan and was set back 12-6 in a close, hard-fought battle, which began a three-game losing streak for the fighting Frosh. The losing streak was snapped against the undefeated and untied University of Massachusetts Frosh in the season’s final game and provided a thrilling climax to the 1951-1952 season. 155 ■J.2UUM RECORD pfeS Opp. Yale 6 Sprir 12 Adelphi 5 4 Harvard 7 8 R.

Co-Captains Roland Chinatti and Pat Patterson lead the Maroon stick- men through New England ' s toughest opposition and emerged with a 4-4 record. Coach Vern Cox’s charges entered this season minus the benefits of a Southern trip. After two weeks of hard inter-squad workouts, the Maroons tested their guns against the Army J.V.’s at West Point, regulation time ending in an 8-8 tie. Four days later, they opened the season with Yale at New Haven. The green” Maroons gave the Elis a terrific battle, but dropped this opener 12-6. The performance of Goalie Vinnie Vinzant, one of New England’s finest, drew much applause from the Yale bench and stands. The next five games were proof of what makes LaCrosse the great sport it is. Adelphi was victim No. 1 as the result of a last minute score by Pat Patterson to edge the New Yorkers 5-4. The highlight of the season, however, was the great 13-12 upset over Dartmouth to avenge the 6-5 setback of the previous year. The Chief” did it again with just seconds left in the contest. The Chief’s” total for the season was an all-time high of 31 goals. Skip Knuttgen gathered fifteen for his efforts at the crease.” At the annual LaCrosse banquet, Coach Vern Cox presented to Co-Captain Pat- terson the gutted-stick” trophy. This award honors the player doing the most for LaCrosse during the season. The fine work of Ralph Decker and Paul Tripp, at defense and mid-field respec- tively, earned them the honor of next year’s Co-Captains. Because LaCrosse has been dropped as a varsity sport, the new Co-Captains will lead the many LaCrosse enthusiasts and carry on the old Indian game on a club basis. First Row, left to right: H.

Only four lettermen returned for early practice in September to start this year ' s soccer season, leaving Coach Schmid with a tremendous job of molding this nucleus and promising juniors and sophomores into an efficient, smooth-working unit. The players had not yet learned to work together when a journey to Cortland netted a 3-0 defeat. In the Wesleyan game, the Maroons controlled the ball most of the time, but were unable to score and lost 2-0. The scoreless jinx continued in the Harvard game — final score, 0-0, after two overtime periods. The Yale game came to within thirty sec- onds of ending in a 2-2 deadlock, when a hand ball resulted in a penalty shot and a 3-2 Yale victory. A game” but undermanned Clark team bore the brunt of Springfield’s escape from scoring inhibi- tion,” being bowled over, 9-1 A blizzard failed to stop the rejuvenated Maroons as they defeated Williams 4-1, Charlie Butt scoring all four S.C. goals. Next, the amphibious home forces out-swam” the University of Massachusetts booters, 5-2, on Affleck- Brock Lake.” In the season’s finale, the undefeated R.P.I. team turned back the upset-minded S.C. hope- fuls, 3-0. A measure of the achievement made this year can be found in the number of individual laurels gained by members of the team. Charlie Butt was given honorable mention on the All-American team and a first team berth on the All-New England squad, while Co-Captain Skip Knuttgen, Cliff Stevenson, and Chick Hungerford gained second team positions and Zack Marshall received honorable mention. VARSITY SWIMMING The 1951-1952 edition of the Maroon mermen concluded another successful campaign under the capable reins of Coach Charles E. Silvia. Highlighting the season’s action was the impres- sive win over Dartmouth. In this meet Soph Bill Yorzyk became the first triple winner in the school’s history copping the 200-yard breaststroke event, and the 220 and 440 freestyle events. Mayees, Coleman and Huddleston were also winners in this stunning 56 to 28 conquest of the Big Green. In Springfield’s annual international meet, the Maroons journeyed to Montreal where they turned back McGill University by the count of 46 to 29. The Maroon relay ream of Cumler, Jones, Butt, and Coleman rose to the occasion and defeated the Wesleyan relay to break the deadlock and record a 41 to 34 conquest. In turning back Tufts, the Silvia-tutored mermen captured 8 out of 10 blue ribbons, notching a 46 to 29 victory. On the losirig side of the ledger, the Silviamen were decisioned by Ivy League powers Harvard and Yale. In Dillingham and Hedberg of Harvard and Moore, McLane, Smith, Clinton, and Welch of Yale, the tankmen were tested by some of the most out- standing swimmers in the country. New Maroon records were established by Robbins, Mayers and Yorzyk and the 400-yard relay team composed of Cumler, Jones, Butt and Coleman. Graduating members of the swimming team are Freestylers Cumler, McNeill, LaBranche, and Co-Cap- tains Coleman and Jones; Backstroker Robbins; Breaststroker Snyder, and diver Pat Huddleston. 160 RECORD Springfield Opp. 26 Harvard 58 56 Dartmouth 28 48 Tufts 27 41 Wesleyan 34 46 McGill 29 27 Yale 56 30 Williams 45 41 Brown 34 Holy Cross New Englands 161 First Row, left to right: W.

VARSITY TENNIS TEAM The ’51 tennis squad stroked its way to an even five and five record against some of the best compe- tition in New England. Craver, Schlossberg, Tait, and Geser made up the nucleus of the team and with able backing from Lake and Resnick the net- men played match after match that easily could have gone either way. For the first time in the history of the college, the tennis team went on a Southern trip to North Carolina before the regular season commenced. In the sunny South the team took on such powerful squads as the University of North Carolina, David- son, and Wake Forest. The value of the trip was apparent as the team swept through its first three regular season matches undefeated. Because of the head start gained over Springfield’s opponents who do not go South, plus the added experience of competing against excellent competition, Coach Kidess hopes that the trip will become a permanent part of the team’s schedule. Ted Craver and Bruce Tait played winning ten- nis during their doubles matches and compiled a six and four record. Pete LaRosa also contributed de- pendable play in the doubles matches. Special men- tion should be made of Dave Ingalls, varsity man- ager, and Charles Foley, assistant manager, who both did an admirable job in managing the team. It should be mentioned that, like other sports at this college, the players are not brought in to par- ticipate in tennis as is the usual procedure at other New England schools. It is often the case that en- tering freshmen have had comparatively little tennis experience. Coach Kidess deserves a great deal of credit for the excellent job he does in building tennis material each year. Graduation of the nucleus of the team this year will present the same age-old prob- lem of rebuilding for next season. 162 1 RECORD Opponents Springfield Clark 0 9 Rhode Island 3 6 University of Conn. cancelled Trinity 4 5 University of North Carolina 9 0 Williams 9 0 Wesleyan 8 1 Brown 8 I University of Massachusetts 2 R.

The result of his work will be seen next year when the members of this team fill in the spots vacated by five varsity lettermen who are to graduate. 163 The freshman tennis team, under the coaching of Ed Crocker, added up the won and lost column at the end of the season and found themselves on the short end of a four and two record. The Springfield team got off to a good start by trouncing Worcester Academy 8 to 1, only to have the tables turned in their second match to the tune of 8 to 1 against Deer- field Academy. Three close defeats followed at the hands of Nichols, Mt. Herman and Keene. The ex- perience gained under pressure in these three matches should prove to be valuable to the frosh in var- sity competition. Flagg and Newton were unde- feated in doubles competition while Viele sported the best individual record with five wins and one loss. -V. • - ,V. iV In dual meets, the 1951 varsity track squad compiled a creditable 3-1 won-lost record with victories over Wesleyan, R. P. I. and the University of Connecticut, the only loss coming at the hands of the old nemesis, Rhode Island, in a thriller which saw the Rams come out on top by only 8 2 points. The Maroons’ dual-meet power was shown by their rolling up 334U? points to the opponents’ 19 ( Vl points in the four dual meets. The team was led by Senior Co-Captains LeRoy Brain and Chuck Davis who were consistent high scorers in the pole vault and dash events, respectively. There were many sparkling performances turned in during the season with two college records being broken. Captain LeRoy Brain broke the 12 ' 4 Vs pole vault record which he set in 1950 as he soared to a height of 12 ' 93 ' s” for a second place in the New England Championships. The other new record was also established in the New England Championships when Bill Hillman finished in third place with a 9:48.0 clocking in the two-mile run. In championship competition, the Springfield tracksters fared well in the E.I.C.A.A. when they finished in third spot with 25 points behind Boston University and Tufts in that order. In the New England Championships, the Juddmen were far behind in the scoring, garnering only four places, these in the hurdles, pole vault, mile and two-mile events, for a total of only seven points. The unsung, hard-laboring managerial posts were capably filled by Bruch Chase and Ted Glasgow, the latter being the head manager and number one assistant to Coach Judd throughout the season. Prospects for the future are very good as only ten of the twenty-five lettermen are lost via graduation, and many top performers are expected to join the varsity from Dick Miller’s undefeated Freshman squad. Therefore, the team looks ahead to 1952 as a banner year for the colors of Springfield in track and field. 164 First Row, left to right: W. Coughlin, A. Teamerson, J. MacKay, P. Fitch, C. Davis, L.

It opened the season before Christmas against Yale with a squad composed of two juniors, four sophomores, and two freshmen. The Maroons squeezed out a one point decision over the Eli. After an inactive Christmas vacation the team met Wesleyan, Williams, Hofstra, and Coast Guard on successive Saturdays. The results of these meets found Springfield winning two, losing one and tying with Wesleyan. As the team approaches the second half of the schedule we find sev- eral outstanding records among the men. Ted Bienkowski has accumulated a per- fect record including two pins. Captain Sam Coursen, defending New England champion at 123 pounds, has had four victories and one tie to date. Lacey Jones, whose record is one victory, three losses and one tie, has met some of the most outstanding men at his 173-pound weight class. This includes Captain Graveson of Yale, runnerup in the nationals last year. Springfield will defend their New England cham- pionship on March the seventh and eighth at Spring- field. They again have a squad that is capable of coming home with the trophy. The seniors on the squad this year include Art Teamerson, Jack MacKay, Bill Fariel, John Weiss, Joe Lettera, Angelo Insalaco, and Mickey Howe. This year’s managerial duties have been handled very nicely by Charlie Tipton, head manager, Don VanVleet, Bob Messinger, and Jack Adams, assistants. 166 VARSITY WRESTLING First Row, left to right: G.

Brown Tufts New Englands 3 FROSH LACROSSE The Springfield College Fresh- man soccer team, capably coached by Vernon Cox, completed a suc- cessful season by winning four games and losing only one. The team got off to a poor start by losing the opening game of the season to a strong Mount Hermon squad by a score of five to one. However, they went on to win their next three games and, in the final and most outstanding game of the year on the home pitch, they en- countered the Wesleyan Jayvee’s, which resulted in a one to nothing win for Springfield. The team was well-balanced and had great depth as it consisted of both upperclassmen and freshmen players. Leading members of the squad were Pete Kirkbride, Charles Tipton, Pete Avery, and Rodger Rickard, and these men, along with others, should provide a valuable source of material for Varsity Coach Irv Schmidt’s 1952 cam- paign. FROSH SOCCER In the Spring, Coach Irv Schmid is faced with the task of molding a Lacrosse team composed of Freshmen, many of whom have never played the game. By season’s end, however, his fine work shows great results. This Frosh squad faced five schools that boast Lacrosse as their outstanding Spring sport. The men of ' 54 made a good showing in their opener with Mount Hermon but lost 7-3. However, they came back fast to defeat Dean Academy 3-1 for the big win of the season. The yearlings dropped the next two contests to Nichols Junior College 7-3 and Deerfield Academy 10-3- For their finale they met the R.P.I. Frosh. The Junior Maroons gave the Engineers a terrific battle but were edged 5-4. Their spirits far from dampened, all members of the squad look forward to next year when they can utilize their Frosh experience in Varsity competition. RECORD Opponents Mount Hermon New England College Wesleyan Frosh University of Conn. Fresh. Wesleyan J. V. Springfield 1 2 4 2 1 FROSH TRACK Springfield ' s freshman track team, under the tutelage of Coach Dick Miller, faced a difficult schedule of four dual meets and came out on the long end of the score in each of these contests. High point men for the Maroon cause were Elvin Eady, Norman Anderson, Walter Ersing, Mohamed Sheriff. Joseph Fisher, Charles Hungerford, Alvin McNeil, Anthony Zinkus, and Alex Sotir. who collectively accounted for 2 39 1 points. Elvin Eady with 49 2 points to his credit was the team’s leading scorer and top per- former in the weight events. In the dual meet with R.I S., Norm Anderson broke the previous frosh record in the 220-yard dash event with a time of 21.6 seconds and tied the frosh record in the 100-yard dash event with a rime of 10 seconds flat. The per- formance of Walt Ersing in the one mile and 880-yard events was one of the highlights of a successful freshman track season. 169 J.V. SWIMMING The Springfield College Junior Varsity swimming team of ’52 had a two win and two loss record with the Brown University Freshmen re- maining on their regular dual meet schedule. After winning practice dual meets from the Amherst Frosh, Williston Academy, Tech High and Classical High, Coach Bill Campbell’s Aqua-Cats dropped their first regular dual meet to the Dartmouth Frosh 46-29. After tasting the bitter defeat at the hands of the Big Green,’’ the Campbell-men splashed back with a convincing victory over Mount Hermon by a 42-24 score, and, then, dunked the Wesleyan Frosh 46-20. With a 2-1 record under their belts, the J.V. boys took a trip down New Haven way to pay their respects to Kerry Donovan and Company at Yale. Mr. Donovan greeted the Maroons with a 50.5 second performance in the 100-yard freestyle to set a new National Freshman record. The Yale Frosh kept the tradition of the Eli swim- ming powerhouse intact by drop- ping the Springfield men 52-23- V ‘ ' r‘ FROSH WRESTLING The Freshman Wrestling team, coached by popular Doug Parker, gained that much needed experi- ence during their winter campaign. What they lacked in experience was made up in determination. At the time of this writing Mr. Herman, Phillips Exeter and Andover wrest- ling teams had won hard fought de- cisions from the young grapplers. The squad shows promise of pro- ducing many fine wrestlers destined to be assets to Coach Spark’s varsity team next year. R. Ross, R. Little, and R. Park have shown very well among the lightweights, and W. Powers, S. Hall, and B. Mason in the light heavy division. The heavy- weights, J. Granberry and J. Eaton, will be a challenge to the varsity boys next year judging by their performance this winter. Coach Parker was assisted by Ted Dunn and Dick Miller. Don Van Fleet was the manager. INTRAMURAL DEPARTMENT The Intramural Department, under the direction of Vern Cox, with John Carbaugh and Frank Holleran as assistants, is at this writing in the midst of one of its most suc- cessful years. Participation records have already been broken in soccer and touch football, and the staff believes that this is only the beginning of a series of records that will fall. In addition to a team from each class, the independent teams entered the wars of a touch football league. Although the Grads proved to be the cream of the class teams, they could not cope with the powerful and speedy Hurricanes. The soccer league was highlighted by the grudge games between the Grads and Seniors. The Seniors with Kershaw, Zeigler and Nicholson leading the way had more team balance than the Grads and swept through their eight games with only one defeat. The Sophs proved to be the darkhorse of the league and finished second with the Grads third. The annual Cross-Country Run again functioned in excellent fashion with Bill Fienemann, a Grad, leading the field to finish the course in 10 minutes and 49 seconds, six seconds better than Kelsey of the Frosh who finished second. Team honors were gained by the Sophs who finished first with 100 points, the Frosh second with 87 points, and the Seniors third with 79 points. Play in the Intramural Handball Tournament has recently opened, and, with over 50 entries in the singles tournament and over 80 in the doubles tournament, it is too early to make any predictions as to the winners. Competition in table tennis was renewed this year and drew 50 participants into the singles tournament and 44 into the doubles tournament. After two nights of gruelling play, Frank Hartsoe emerged victor in the singles tournament and Schlossburg and Rada in the doubles tournament. Basketball again proved to be a big attraction in the program as thirty teams were divided into four leagues as follows: National, American, Dorm and Class Leagues. Other activities to be held in the busy winter term are as follows: basketball, free throw, wretsling, swimming, badminton, and volleyball. During the spring term softball, track, golf, and archery will highlight the Intra- mural program. 170 Mar Stealing Home Action On the Ice Indoor Track Intramural Football Champs Action Under the Boards Coming Through Al’s 1,000th Point MISS ELENA SLIEPCEVICH Faculty Advisor On February 22, one year after the staff was organized, the final installment of the 1952 Massasoit went to press. Today, Wednesday, May 14, at the traditional Spring- field College Stepping-up-day ceremonies, the finished product is presented to the student body. With a gentle sigh of relief mixed with a tense moment of anticipation, the co- editors and staff can only step back and await the results of the final test. We sincerely hope that in the 1952 Massasoit you will see Springfield College in its entirety, as we the staff members, have attempted to reproduce it. We hope that on these pages you may always find with fond recollection those moments of anxiety and complacency, joy and sorrow, that to you, will always remain a part of Springfield College. A yearbook must serve many purposes, but first and foremost, it is a record of you and your school. Therefore, while our job of compiling these records was a long one, it was in a sense, an easy task because we merely placed in print those things which you, the entire student family, have worked hard to achieve. This final staff write-up can easily be overdone by attempting to express oilr grati- tude to all those who have made the publication of this book possible. Since it is impossible to personally thank everyone for their assistance, we must at least recognize a few who would otherwise go unnoticed. Miss Elena Sliepcvich, our advisor, who constantly encouraged us and took no small portion of the job upon herself. Mrs. Eva Bunce, who smilingly tolerated and eagerly assisted us at all times. Mr. Fred Rebstock of Tooke Studios, whose work represents the backbone of the 1952 Massasoit. Mr. Jack Brown of the O’Toole Publishing Company, who not only showed us the way but practically carried us to rhe finish line. And to all the folks who encouraged us by simply saying, how ' s the yearbook going,” we can only repay them by saying THANKS. —THE STAFF MISS S ' Robert Strine — Co-Editor Larry McClements — Co-Editor Richard Russell — Business Manager Miss Elena Sliepcevich — Faculty Advisor Bradley Curry — Art Editor Eugene Zimmerman — Layout Editor and Cartoons Ron Willoughby — Senior Section James Gray — Group Pictures Edward Fitzgerald — Social Editor John Anderson — Features Editor William Kapa — Sports Editor Samuel Simpson — Personalities Editor Without the help of a great number of the Junior Class members this staff could n ot have functioned as efficiently as it has.
