FRESHMAN CLASS In September, the Class of 1955 began its journey through the Spacious Gates of Springfield College; neophytes in a world of upperclassmen. 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
