FRESHMAN CLASS Like the brave pioneers, like bold adventurers or rather more like typical bewildered freshmen, the class of 1956 invaded the campus of Springfield College in September, 1952. There was a feeling of newness, of strangeness, and of frantic confusion that goes along with new experiences such as looking for room numbers that don ' t seem to exist. But eventually we adjusted ourselves and a feeling of belonging to Springfield settled upon us. The Freshman Class soon became organized and elections were held. Frank Belamarich was elected Chairman and an Executive Committee of fifteen was set up to guide the class until permanent officers could be elected. It was late in January when our present officers won their offices in a spirited election. The traditional Freshman-Sophomore rope pull ended in a hard-fought win for the Sophomores and conse- quently, we wore our dinks until Thanksgiving vacation. We published several editions of a Frosh newspaper, called The Wigwam, edited by Nancy Andrews, and also published and distributed our Freshman edition of the Student. On the 31st day of January, the field house was the scene of the Winter Wonderland dance sponsored by the Freshman Class under the chairmanship of Dru Cochran and Jack Flanagan. The music was supplied by the recently organized Injun-airs who can be counted on to play for other class-sponsored dances. As time passes it becomes more evident that the Class of ' 56 is taking its rightful place at Springfield. A Sophomore Victory? CLASS OFFICERS Harry Avesian President George Harunk Vice President Carroll Paine Secretary Arthur Semle Treasurer A Study in Perception SOPHOMORE CLASS After a highly successful Freshman year, the class of 1955 returned in September to carry on its excellent grade of work. Under the leadership of President Harry Avesian and Advisor Archie Allen, the class has worked as a unit to continue the high standards that were set during the initial year at Springfield. The spirit and unity of the class has been outstanding in everything which has been done. Traditions were enforced with a friendly but firm hand. This was cli- maxed in October with a Sophomore victory in the time-honored rope pull. The enthusiasm of the class was marked by the fine work accomplished by the mem- bers who served on committees for the Student Coun- cil, the Student and the functioning of the Traditions Court. The highlight of Sophomore Class activities was the well-remembered Winter Homecoming Dance. The class also has many representatives on varsity teams. Their fine performances this past year serve as a note of warning to our opponent teams in the future. Military service will undoubtedly take a number of our class before we assemble again to start our Junior year. Although the group will be smaller, the same class espirit de corps that was exhibited during the first two years will be upheld. CLASS OFFICERS Jerry Holder President Tom Berry Vice President Walt Price Secretary Bob Massey Treasurer pBys ' ol 0 3’ 22 • ca princip ' es p , jt into pra ' ce ‘ JUNIOR CLASS Of the two hundred and forty-three students who entered Springfield College in September 1950, there remain only one hundred and seventy-seven young men and women. Our numbers have decreased because of the call to the service of our country, many of our fellow-classmen. Nonetheless, the class cooperation and spirit have enabled the officers to accomplish their appointed assignments within the class framework and it has been shown that the Junior Class has established itself into an effective working harmony with the other classes of the school. We have met the tasks of our first two years suc- cessfully, we are fulfilling our obligations as Juniors in sponsoring the Prom and publishing The Massa- soit, and we eagerly anticipate the work ahead of us. Our classmen now dominate most of the Varsity athletic teams and are active officers and members of many campus clubs and activities. We have felt the influence of the principles and traditions of Springfield College and are approaching our Senior year confidently with increasing poise, maturing minds and a determination to succeed. yA ONO ' 1950 ' r y ' A, • iff Four busy seniors on Senior Walk Larry McClements President Ted Hunt Vice President Jim Gray Secretary Dick Bartis Treasurer Friends we will remember . signing the MASSASOIT SENIOR CLASS The members of the class of 1953 will soon bring their college careers to a close. June 14, 1953 will mark the end of a series of events that have helped to make the past four years the best ones in our lives. We well remember when the SPIRIT of ' 53 was first ignited on the Springfield College campus in the Fall of 1949. We started our college careers by dunking the highly favored Sophomore class of 1952 in the annual rope-pull. Other memorable events of our Freshman year include the undefeated season of our Cross-Country team, and our all-night guard duty which took place on Pratt field on the eve of the traditional AlC-Springfield football game. The Winter Wonderland Dance in 1951 and the Deep Sea Fantasy — Junior Prom in 1952 were two class sponsored dances which were unanimously ac- claimed as events to remember. The 1952 edition of the MASSASOIT and the Fall Homecoming Dance were also the accomplishments of the class of ' 53. As we enter the fields of our chosen professions, we will take with us the principles that were taught to us at Springfield College. We hope that by using these principles we will help to bring to the confused world a feeling of unity and brotherhood. l 4 The candidates for the Master ' s Degree at Springfield College for the school year 1952-1953, continue to reflect the growing emphasis on graduate training which has been apparent since World War 11. The group this year numbers over one hundred and forty, indicating that advanced work is not considered a luxury to be enjoyed only during the eligibility of the G.l. Bill, but an important essential in pro- fessional preparation. The national and international significance of the College is indicated in the geo- graphical areas from which the students came. There are represented in this year ' s enrollment twenty-three states and fourteen foreign countries. The big three in states are Massachusetts with thirty-six, New York with nineteen, and Connecticut with ten. As usual, Canada ranks first in foreign countries with four representatives, but Germany, Pakistan, Puerto Rico and Hungary have also contributed more than one. The class as a whole made a very significant contribution to campus life. Many served as graduate assistants in teaching, coaching and research, thereby perform- ing a very vital educational service. The intramural teams ranked high in their com- petitive activities and the social life was enhanced by the traditional Fall Term Tea, Winter Term Dance, and the Spring Term Picnic. CLASS OFFICERS Gavin Carter Victor Mayer Nell Jackson Donald Mathews President Vice President Secretary-Treasurer Advisor The Doctoral Program, initiated two years ago, has ten students working full time toward their degree, and over sixty considered to be candidates for the de- gree on a part-time basis. No degrees have been granted yet, but several men have passed the qualifying examination and completed all of the academic re- quirements. There is considerable excitement and competition among these peo- ple to determine who will be the first person to be granted the Doctor of Physical Education Degree from Springfield College. Although the doctoral candidates participate in the regular graduate activities, a Steering Committee has been set up to handle matters pertaining exclusively to this group.

The main purpose of the club is to further brother- hood and establish service projects of friendliness and fellowship. Alpha Phi Omega has served the school through such projects as dances during Freshman week, opera- tion of a second-hand book exchange, lining the park- ing lot, sponsoring the Bloodmobile in conjunction with the Health Education major and taking charge of the college bulletin boards. The experience gained by the members of the club will be invaluable in the work that they will go into later.

ASSOCIATION of SECRETARIES The Association of Secretaries celebrated its sixth season as an active club on campus. The Association ' s main purpose is to orient the students at Springfield to the philosophy of the Y. M. C. A. in addition to what they may learn in academic courses. Guest speakers, club trips and forums were introduced to members. The club visited the area and regional convention of secretaries. As in past years, the A. O. S. was host to the Regional Y. M. C. A. managers who visit the campus each year. The club has done outstanding work to further the principles that the college was founded on.

Its main pur- pose is to serve young men and boys in the community through recreational and educational activities and to serve as a training area for students who are interested in youth leadership. The club handles about two hund- red boys in the surrounding area and promotes a program of swimming parties, picnics, crafts, gym activities and motion pictures. The members of this group feel that they are looking after these boys and giving them a clean, wholesome program that will develop the youngsters into a better future generation. Hats off to a fine organization with a noble purpose. 30 r °W ec °nof rn a r °W Sa Woo. Oe e ° es - Cr ° e Usn ' cki CHEERLEADERS Head Cheerleader Ass ' f Head Cheerleader Secretary Advisor ARNIE LENT MARY BETH BUTLER NANCY ECKMAN VERN COX Certainly one group of students on campus carries on as the leader in school spirit. This is the group of Cheerleaders that give our athletic clubs spirit and the desire to win. In past years a definite lack of school spirit was prevalent but not this year. This year ' s group of cheerleaders was as full of pep as a charged up engine. The boys and girls went along on trips with the various teams for morale and to lead students who followed the team. During the football season they conducted pep rallies before all games and kindled a high interest in them. A great deal of credit should go to this unselfish group for all the spirit and color that they infuse in school functions. 31 In the effort to give students a form of entertain- ment and recreation the Circle and Square Society was formed. The main purpose of the organization is to promote square and folk dancing. Its members actually have an opportunity to teach and call square dances. This practice is invaluable to students who plan to enter this field of work. The society sponsors weekly square dances during the school year and in addition they direct such special attractions as the annual barn dance during the Junior Prom weekend, exhibition numbers at the U. N. dances and numerous dances for surrounding high schools. The great zeal of its members have made this club one of the welcome organizations on campus and in many cases its members have served as dance advisors.

In order to better understand the American ways of life, the Cosmopolitan Club was started for the foreign students on campus. Through the club these students become acquainted with the customs, ways of living and thinking of American students and other foreign students. The club has about an equal amount of foreign and American students who work and talk together in full harmony. The students in the organiza- tion have a varied program of parties, meetings and dancing which all go to enrich the lives of both foreign and American students. This is truly world fellowship in action on the Springfield campus. President Secretary Advisor CHARLES BUTT PARVICHE DARVICHE DR.

Its main purpose is to create a true spirit of harmony among the girls that live in Abbey Hall. The Council meets once a week to discuss all problems that come up, to plan social affairs and to act as an intermediary for the girls. The Council planned and put forth three open houses, two major dances and frequent informal get- togethers throughout the year. Here is a truly demo- cratic process in action.

KIDESS The Alumni Hall Dorm Council was organized a year ago because it was felt that they could be of great value in meeting the problems that arose in Alumni Hall. A representative body was elected by the resi- dents for the purpose of regulating rules, procedures and social events and to generally make the men ' s dorm a more suitable place to live. The council meets once every month to take up new business. The main purpose of the representatives was to improve disci- pline, cleanliness, social life and intramural athletics. Many of the changes and improvements in the men ' s dorm were due to the untiring work and suggestions of this Council that is trying to make Alumni Hall a better place for all to live in. ) 35 □ sail Jolly Ca Bryngelson Barba Marge Moo Jea r 1 1 a ABBEY HALL COUNSELORS Head Counselor Advisor When the co-eds came to Springfield College they were faced with the somewhat similar problem of adjustment that the new men students were exposed to. In order to help them, the Abbey Hall Dorm Counselors were organized. They are informal advisors to the girls and a go-between for faculty and students. There is about one upperclass counselor for each twenty-five girls. At the head of these counselors is a head counselor who executes and explains college policies in the dormitory. These unsung women leaders should be given hearty congratulations for their tireless efforts and unbiased policies. BARBARA BRYNGELSON . MRS.

KIDESS □ □RM □□UNCI LD R S The Alumni Hall Dorm Counselors are one of the most active service organizations on campus. These men feel that the dormitory is the center of social and spiritual life on campus. In order to improve this social and spiritual life, they act as advisors to the resi- dents of the dorm. The counselors are constantly striv- ing to develop friendly relationships between the members of the dorm, so that a feeling of mutual confidence and respect can be attained. The dorm is a miniature world in the eyes of these leaders, a world in which all parties must live and work together for the common good of all. The Counselors are always ready and willing to help any person who may come to them. If they can help him they will, if not, they will direct him to a place where he will be helped.

DRAMATIC CLUB The main purpose of the Dramatic Club is to promote interest and enthusiasm in dramatics on campus. Tied in with this is the desire to give enjoyment both to actors and audience. This year the club has put on one play a term as in previous years. The idea is to give a comedy, a mystery and a dramatic production so that all phases of dramatics are covered. The members of the club gain valuable experience in acting while giv- ing themselves and many others the enjoyment of seeing a play well done. President ... FRANK TREUCHET Vice President GORDON PAULUCCY Secretary ... JEAN GREIG Treasurer DON DELUSE FRESHMAN WEEK COMMITTEE Chairman— DON HARDY The main purpose of the Freshman Week Committee is to introduce the entering Freshman to the faculty, the organizations and the existing traditions and ideals on campus. The group is made up of campus leaders who really know the school and are anxious to help the new students orient themselves. The people that work on this committee have a great responsibility placed on them as their words and actions may shape the life of the entering student one way or the other. Each leader has a group of about fifteen Freshmen which he guides through the process of registering, faculty visitations and matters that require attention in the way of adjustment. The week before school is filled with shows, picnics, dances, visits and meetings in order to break the monotony of routine. This committee has made many student ' s stay at Springfield more fruitful because of their friendly in- terest in them. first r °W; Barb 0 9er p c . u 9hby n v,l ' iarr j Ve rly u x fJirin k, c c ' man n enev e Oe p ' c J k w , ak n, Oo Mn, Gr ' G ° r do n p„ E =krp an , Ho C ' ,a enj 0 2 • Maria The main purpose of the Intramural Council is to plan and carry out all Intramural activities for the stu- dent body. Each class has a representative to the Council that sels up a program for all students desiring to participate in athletics that are not on any college intercollegiate team. A program is set up on the class, dorm and independent league basis, thus giving a great many students a chance to participate and thus learn a sport. Programs have been set up in all major competitive sports throughout the year and through the work of this group, a keen interest and competition has grown up among the students.

Insofar as spreading the good will displayed at Springfield College is concerned, the Maroon Key Society leads the way. The Society is a service organiza- tion whose primary objective is to act as a host to all visiting teams and “make them feel at home. These visiting teams have carried the friendly reputation of the school near and far and have made return trips a desired thing to look forward to. Any student may join the society after completing 21 hours of service in the above mentioned area, and become entitled to full rights and privileges. The men of the society help to sponsor dances and assist with various campus projects. President ...

For a period of time this organization seemed to be dying out, but through this year ' s revitalized program the club is on a more active plane than ever. The high- lights of the year ' s program included skating parties, riding parties, camping trips, picnics and outings. The members feel that it is important for students to take part in healthy outdoor activities. The club took part in the Outing Club Convention this spring and benefited greatly from the business discussed. This club is one of the finest recreational organizations on campus. President .

Majors Association functioned as one of the largest and most active organizations on campus. The club ' s main function and emphasis is to help students majoring in physical education to understand and solve problems which they may meet in their future work. Through the year numerous meet- ings were held in which guest speakers were brought in to discuss interesting problems. Featured in these meetings were recent graduates who spoke on prob- lems and solutions that arise in the first few years of physical education teaching. Many guest speakers were of nation wide fame such as Birdie Tebbets of the Cleveland Indians, who supplemented his message with movies. The club has sponsored many functions and have made themselves a highly respected organization on campus. WOMEN ' S PHYSICAL EDUCATION MAJORS CLUB President JAN HURLEY V ce President MARIALICE SMITH Secretary MARY JO McNICHOLAS Treasurer _ _ MARJORIE MOORE The purpose of this organization is to promote pro- fessional interest in physical education, to encourage membership in State and National Associations, to provide professional inspiration and information through programs of interest to all members. Early in October of each year the Springfield College Women ' s Physical Education Majors Club holds a meet- ing to welcome the freshmen women and to acquaint them with the purpose and scope of the club program. Each term there is a professional meeting and at the close of the academic year a dinner and social meeting is held. It is the hope of this young organization to sponsor several social events for the school in the future. Chairman-KARL ZIMMERMAN Advisor— MR.

STUDENT CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION The Student Christian Association of Springfield College is part of an international movement to em- phasize the Christian Gospel in the lives of students throughout the world. The main objective of the club is to infuse the Christian atmosphere into the students ' lives. The members attend regional and national con- ferences at which many problems are discussed. Through these conferences come a better understand- ing of the problems and a way to enrich the lives of fellow students. The Association conducts weekly chapel services, forums, faculty home visitations for students and community projects. Its members feel that they are making a real contribution to the student ' s life at Springfield College. VCap Mao ' 11 ' C( asN iO ' ' . Joa” «= ' joe ° ' P e,ef Se°° od ' ° .

Their main function is the super- vision and maintenance of the College lounge and recreation building. While plans are going ahead for the building of a larger and more complete recreation hall, the old building must be managed and cared for. The fellows have a wonderful job in this area. The television and ping-pong room is still constantly a meeting place for students seeking a few hours of relaxation and entertainment. During the year a dance and a Chinese faculty auction were sponsored in the effort to raise money for the Student Union Build- ing Fund. The committee has worked hard to make the Student Union a gathering place for all students. Chairman ... .. ... JEAN CRAWLEY Secretary NICKI KAPLAN Treasurer .... .. ... .... STAN BROWN Advisor MR.

Since its founding, the main objective of the club has been to promote friendliness and social activity for the wives of the students. The club has made the girls feel that they are a part of the college family in activity, not only in spirit. The club holds its meetings at regular intervals and at these meetings guest speakers are brought in to discuss problems of interest to married people. During the year the club sponsored such projects as an entry in the Annual Homecoming Floats Parade, a minstrel show for the benefit of the Campus Chest and numerous bake sales.

A traditions court was set up and all traditions offenders were brought before it and heard. Offenders were punished with just penalties. The members of the committee feel that their efforts have brought the two classes closer together and that they have helped to preserve the practices that belong at Springfield College.

CHENEY T his year, as in all years, the Varsity S Club has worked to make the varsity letter a symbol of prestige and to carry on the traditions of the school. Because of its program of active service to school and members, the club has increased its membership greatly from the ranks of the students earning varsity letters. The frosh-soph rope pull was sponsored by the club in the fall which saw the sophomores victorious. A float was entered in the Annual Float Parade and several benefit dances were staged throughout the year. The club has become one of the most active and useful organizations on campus because of their splendid efforts. VARSITY S First row: Larry Rowell, Paul Ryan, Bill Coughlin, George Flood.

WHITE KEY SOCIETY The White Key is a sister organization to the Maroon Key and was the first organization of women students at Spring- field College. Its main purpose is to promote the spirit of collegiate good will. To promote this end, the girls have become a service organization of no mean ability. They act as hostesses to visiting women ' s groups and as hostesses to many college functions. One unique feature of the club is that membership in the organization cannot be obtained until twenty-one hours of work have been completed. Among the functions carried out by the club were the Dads ' Day dance, a winter cabaret with a 1920 ' s theme and a spring production. The funds raised are given in part to the Student Union Building Fund which is a credit to the organization.

In order to get the students interested in wrestling a club that would unite their interests, the Wrestling Club was organized this past year. The club was not restricted to members of the wrestling squads but was open to anyone interested in the sport. During the year several shows were sponsored for the Boy Scouts, church groups, Parent-Teachers Associa- tions and Naval Reserve units. The proceeds that were obtained were used in a most admirable manner. The club sponsored the Junior Varsity wrestling team, pro- vided money for tournaments and sent a member of the Varsity wrestling team to the Olympic tryouts.

VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM RECORD Springfield Opponents Harvard Norwich University of Massachusetts New Hampshire St. Michaels Rhode Island Cortland AIC Head Coach — OSSIE SOLEM Although the Springfield College Maroons lost only two games during the 1952 season, their position on the New England ladder was restrained somewhat by the acquisition of three ties. Coach Ossie Solem ' s aggregation was the third Maroon team is 60 years to compile three ties in the same season. Their final game of the campaign, however, found the Maroon and White upsetting AIC, their city rivals, and up to that time, number one small college team in New England. 56 The team ' s record was 3-2-3 and they finished ninth in the New England small college poll. In the eight games Springfield tallied 158 points to the opponents ' 149. The Maroon grid- men gained more yardage on the ground, 1952 to 1771, but the rivals proved superior through the air, netting 917 yards to SC ' s 317 yards. Soph Norm Morris, a transfer from Wake For- est, was the statistics leader. He scored the most points, 60, and compiled 889 yards rushing, for an average of better than five yards per carry. His punts averaged 45.8 yards in 14 tries. Hal Haines came in second with 36 points scored. Joe Chandler was runner-up to Morris in the ground gaining department with 584 yards. Senior Ed Holenko, the regular punter, booted 40 times for an average of 33.6 yards per boot. The season ' s opener found the Crimson of Harvard playing host to the SC eleven. Harvard seemed to be playing the part of a good host for a period and a half, because the guests had a 7-0 advantage. The final score was not symbolic by any means, for the Crimson emerged victor- ious, 27-7. The Maroons rebounded in their home opener by trampling the Norwich U team 34-7. The vic- tory was spearheaded by Norm Morris and Joe Chandler who scored three and two TDs, respectively. The Springfield eleven journeyed to Amherst for an exciting 20-20 stalemate with the Uni- versity of Massachusetts gridmen. With about eleven minutes gone in the final period, Morris sprinted 61 yards to make the 20-13 in favor of the Maroons. Only a minute later, Noel Reeben- acker, the Redmen ' s ace passer, heaved a 54- yard TD pass and John George ' s placement was good for the equalizer. For the second Saturday in a row, the Solem- men were forced to take home a tie as a result of a TD in the last three minutes. The second tie was dealt by the University of New Hampshire on the latter ' s home grounds. The visitors failed to score on three scoring opportunities which kept the score 14-14. Pratt Field proved to be the happy hunting grounds for the Maroon and White scalpers as they hung up win number two by blasting St. Michaels 35-20. Highlight of the battle was the piling up of 21 points within the tiny space of seven minutes as the Maroon and White over- came a 20-14 deficit in the final stanza. After leading 13-7 in the third canto, the Ma- roons could not subdue a 27 point avalanche by the potent Rams from Rhode Island in their next game. This third period burst of scoring proved why the small state team was chosen as the No. 1 small college team in New England. The home team scored once more, but all to no avail as the Rams were on top 40-20. Springfield again played to a tie the following week. This time it was with the Cortland State Teachers football team. Senior Ed Hoffman, who made good on 20 of 23 placements throughout the year, gave the Maroons a 14-14 tie. The game was played before some 1,000 chilled fans at Pratt Field on this first Saturday of November. The AlC-Springfield game was undoubtedly the best game of the year for the Maroons. The all out team effort and determination proved greater than that of a comparatively larger and faster AIC squad. Hal Haines and Norm Morris scored the TDs for the SC team, while Senior George Flood led the superb pass defense to the 14-7 victory and the regaining of the Mayor ' s trophy.

C. frosh football team completed the 1952 season with a 2-2 record. The yearlings of Coach Archie Allen were defeated in their first two starts by the University of Massachusetts, 27-6, and Phillips Andover Academy, 25-6. The frosh came back a week after the Andover defeat to win their first game on Homecoming Day, upsetting a powerful Rhode Island frosh team 18-6. Monson Academy was their final game of the year, with the Maroons romp- ing to a 19-13 victory. Butch Conant proved to be the outstanding back of the season, while Ron Roleau and Smokey McMullen starred on line play. Paul Bean and Tom Casey proved to be defensive stalwarts in the backfield. Little Dick Shumway did much to set up several frosh touchdowns by blocking two punts in fine defensive line work. Injuries hurt the team quite a bit during the year with several promising players being sidelined, but after having a few games under their belts the frosh ended the season in fine style, giving good indication that a number of the • yearlings will help the varsity next year.

P. 1. 2 1 U of Conn. 2 Head Coach-IRV SCHMID 62 The 1952 version of the Springfield College Soccer team kept up the winning record of Coach Irv Schmid as it battled its way through a nine game slate to the tune of six wins, two ties and one defeat. Under the leadership of Co-Captains Jack Adams and Paul Burdan, the booters placed second in the New England Intercollegiate Soccer League, one half game behind Dartmouth, the league leaders. The season opened strongly with a 3-1 win over Cortland, always a potential power of New York State. The next game was a defensive game with Wesleyan. The game seesawed back and forth until Jack Carrier booted one for the lone tally in the 1 -0 contest. At Cambridge, Springfield squeaked out a 2-1 win over Harvard in a closely played contest that went to the Maroons in the overtime period. This game was followed by a very poor showing against a weak Boston University team in which the Maroons were again on top of a 2-1 score. The following Saturday for the game between the two top teams of New England, saw Springfield travel to New Haven to meet Yale promising to be the game to be up for, for each team. Springfield started off well and scored a goal in the first 37 seconds on a play by Bill Bearchell whose toe gave the Maroons an oft needed spark. The score remained this way until the last period when Yale was awarded their second penalty shot and made good on it. The final score was deadlocked at 1-1 at the end of the overtime period. In the Homecoming contest, Springfield displayed an excellent brand of Soccer to defeat a Williams eleven 4-1, and on the following Tuesday completely out- classed the University of Massachusetts 4-0. The next Saturday, Springfield traveled out of New England to tackle a strong R. P. I. squad at Rennsalear. Playing very apathetically, Springfield was on the short end of a 2-0 count at the end of the third quarter. In the fourth period how- ever, they caught fire and came back with two quick goals to knot the count. The overlime proved fruitless and Springfield settled for a 2-2 tie. Alert play by the Springfield goalie, Bill Foote, kept the Engineers from scoring more than their share of two goals. In the final game Springfield suffered its lone defeat at the hands of an inspired Huskie team from the University of Connecticut. Even with the new England title veritably in their grasp, the Maroons couldn ' t supply the spark and came out on the short end of a 2-1 game. Plagued with the lack of a good sustained attack, Springfield was forced to rely on its strong defense as its mainstay in the majority of its games. They scored an average of 2.2 goals a game to the average of one for the opponents. The college held its own in individual selections for the post season all-star teams in that it dominated both the All-American and All-New England teams. Charlie Butt and Zack Marshall were placed on the first team halfback positions of the All-American team, and with Bill Foote, goalie, were placed on the first string All-New England team. Jack Carrier and Gay Amato made the second team of the All-New England squad. At the banquet held at the end of the season, the team elected Jay Gernand and Bill Foote as Co-Captains for the 1953 squad, who hope to return with the t eam, Springfield to New England Soccer supremacy. 63 FRESHMAN SOCCER The freshman soccer team under the guidance of Coach Vern Cox ended their 1952 fall season with a record of one win, three losses and two ties. The below par record doesn ' t give an accurate indication of the yearling boosters ' play, for all their defeats were close and were decided by a single goal. The frosh opened the season against Mt. Hermon and lost a 2-1 thriller. The following week the boosters tangled with the Cardinals of Wesleyan, and although they out-battled their Connecticut opponents, the Coxmen were only able to manage a two overtime period 1-1 dead- lock. In their next two games the class of ' 56 lost a 3-1 contest to Yale and won their only game of the season with a 3-1 victory over trinity. The season ended with a 1-0 loss to R P I and a 2-2 tie with U of Connecticut. Some of the frosh who played quite a bit for the boosters and will undoubtedly help the varsity next year are George Case, Gus Chrisanthopoulos, Phil Cone, Tom Conroy, Bob Lueft, Bob Seddon, Art Serra and Hal Grieg.

The thin- clads opened the campaign a week after the start of school against a strong Rhode Island squad, and with only limited practice, lost to the powerful Rams. However, in following weeks they successively trounced such foes as the Coast Guard Academy, Williams, U Conn, Wesleyan, Tufts, Maine and RPI. Led by the peerless performance of Co-Captain Bill Hillman, who finished next to none in his eight races, the harriers consistently placed several men in the top five at each meet. Bob Bartlett, a junior, sophomore Cammie Greene, veteran Bill Coughlin and Co-Captain Art Farnam racked up the needed points at every race to enable the Juddmen to capture the seven s traight victories. Other members of the team who did creditable work but weren ' t in the lime- light at each meet were Dave Blinco, Charlie Ray, Al Viola and John Fenning.

FRESHMAN CROSS COUNTRY The freshman cross-country team ably coached by varsity runner Art Farnam finished the 1952 season with a commendable record of four wins in five dual meets, besides coming in second in the Connecticut Valley championships and tenth in the New Englands. The yearlings opened the season by trouncing Rhode Isl-and, then lost their lone meet at Mount Hermon, only to come back the next week and win their last three outings against U Conn, Wesleyan and RPI. Wally Graham, a chunky little runner from New Jersey who tried out for the Olympic pentathalon was the top yearling point-getter, copping first place four times and broke second once. Closely behind were Bob Falvo who broke the tape against Rhode Island, Bil Taylor, Doug Steeves, Dick Miller and Harry Yeo. These men will undoubtedly help Coach Judd and his varsity harriers a great deal this fall.

The second place berth also had two teams in a tie. They were the Sophs and the Frosh with the identical scores of 7.5 points. The Tennis Doubles champs for 1952 consisted of the team of John Billington and Charles Duke. They defeated the duo of Dick Bird and John Brandon in straight sets, 6-3, 6-3. The singles tournament was won by Bird, last year ' s winner. John Sharpe garnered second place honors in the net competition. The annual Cross-Country race was won by Fred Cates, a graduate student.

DON STUBBELBINE Treasurer BOB HOLLIS Advisor MR. HALE ! The Barbell Club was formed on campus for the purpose of increasing physical development, athletic ability and overall good health. This bodily develop- ment is achieved through competitive weight lifting, training and remedial exercises with weights. The club does not have a large membership, but its fol- lowers are avid members who perform their routines faithfully. Many of the club ' s members have brought honor to their school and themselves by winning weight lifting and physique contests, some embody- ing a great deal of prestige. The highlight of the year was the match with M. I. T., which determined the N. E. championship. art® sO ' ' . ro .N e ' ,.

In addition to matches with other colleges, the members of the club engage in an inter- club tournament that lasts through the year. Any member may challenge any other member through a system of points and standings. The members of the club feel that the activities that they provide are very beneficial for satisfying the interests in the game of handball, and also for creat- ing competitive sportsmanship. This group has cre- ated great interest in a sport that had seemed to have died in recent years. 78 T ALL President JOHN CHEEVER Secretary-Treasurer Al THOMAS Advisor MR. PETERSON One of the most active sports clubs on the campus is the Hockey Club. The club has worked continuously to have hockey accepted on an intercollegiate basis and their efforts have never subsided. This past seas- on the hockey team had a nine game schedule, among whom were found some of the finest teams in New England. The players themselves provide the money for practice and trip expenses and handle all ad- ministrative functions that require their attention. Through their enthusiasm and fine hockey play, the team has acquired a following among area hockey fans that has never been attained before. The boys should be given a rousing cheer for their efforts in promoting collegiate hockey in the Springfield area. 79 s e , ' ■ovv, c °nd • 0, W e Chri;..

This year, as in past years, the Hosagas put on shows on the campus and then they traveled around the east, bringing enjoyment to people of all ages with their repertoire of dances and ritual cere- monies. The club has received many letters of praise for their shows and are asked 1o return to many places -with their show.

Formerly it was an intercollegiate team, but this status certainly did not detract from student participation and interest; on the contrary, it heightened it. During the past season the boys in the club took part in the Boston Y. M. C. A. Meet, the Boston K. of C. Games, the Boston B. A. A., and the New York Millrose Games. In all these encounters, the trackmen showed skill and potential. They had several wins in competition with outstanding Eastern colleges and universities. A great measure of congratulations belong to these boys who did so well in representing Springfield on the track and field.

GORDON PAULUCCY Secretary OLIVER LEE Advisor MR. HUBBARD The main purpose of the International Relations Club is to carry on a program for the better under- standing of world problems today. With the help of guest speakers, forums and pictures, the mem- bers of the club are gaining an insight into the com- plex problems that face us today. It is through this understanding that students are developing into more capable citizens. The club sponsored the newly organized United Nations Day Convocation, circulated a great deal of literature on current affairs and were privileged to journey to New York to visit the United Nations Build- ing and Assembly meeting. The club has cemented relations with other colleges who also have organiza- tions with a similar purpose. SCIENCE CLUB President BILL BOCK Vice President LARRY COULTER Secretary NIKKI KAPLAN Treasurer FRED. KAVANAUGH Advisor DR. BRAINERD The Science Club is one of the youngest on campus. The main purpose of the club is to stimulate interest in scientific knowledge on an informal basis. Since many students will teach science when they leave Springfield, the programs of the club provide valuable experience. The year ' s program presented many varied and interesting activities including talks by guest speak- ers from iocal hospitals, visiting psychiatrists and dis- cussions with men in leading industries throughout the Springfield municipal area. The highlight of the year was the trip to the Connecticut Valley Science Conference held at Mount Holyoke College. 1 ' Perhaps the most sought after honor a student at Springfield College can attain is to gain entrance into Sigma Delta Psi. It is a national college athletic fra- ternity that is active in almost one hundred colleges and universities throughout the country. Membership is obtained by meeting established standards in thir- teen athletic events in addition to having a high index and a pleasing personality. All the standards are with- in reasonable limits, but in order to qualify the indi- vidual has to be in top physical condition. This is truly a goal for all Springfield men who excel in athletics or are in any field of physical education. Second row: Ray Chinn, Jack Hurst. SIGMA DELTA PSI In the interest of those students who are avid skiing fans the Ski Club was organized. The main purpose of the organization is to promote skiing as a sport on campus and to give its members the pleasure of numerous ski weekends. The members are con- sidered as an informal club in their meets but this fails to dim the vigor and enthusiasm shown in com- petitions with other schools. There are many outstanding skiers in the club who uphold the name of Springfield in the New England Championships. Springfield still retains possession of the coveted Carlisle Trophy which symbolizes New England skiing supremacy. First row: Ellie Peaslie, Enid Lambert, Sandy Heeks, Rene Benard, Nancy Bowers.

Another field in which the Visual Aiders are active is the athletic department. They take and produce pic- tures of various athletic contests for teaching and coaching purposes. A great deal of credit is due Miss Elena Sliepcevich, who as advisor to the Audio-Visual Aids department, has created, coordinated and developed a working loan arrangement of class films. Generally a student- governed group, under the excellent direction of Miss Sliepcevich, AVA functions smoothly. Through the work of the members of the AVA, a unique service has been rendered to the student body and they themselves have developed a working knowl- edge in a field that is rapidly gaining as a medium of education. VOLLEYBALL CLUB Although very few people realize it, The Springfield College Volleyball Club holds a national title which they won last year. It functions as one of the many sports clubs on campus with the members playing for the love of voMeyball alone. They receive no letters for their efforts but are well repaid with personal satisfaction in their ability and the reputation they carry in the sport throughout the volleyball world. Although the club holds many titles, they are not willing to rest on their laurels. This year they entered many meets upholding the Springfield name and colors in a very creditable manner. This group deserves the applause of the entire campus for their untiring work in a cause that showers a great deal of honor upon every student who attends this school.

The 1952-1953 edition of the Springfield Col- ege Maroons is in the midst of an extensive 31 game schedule including a western trip dur- ing the Christmas holidays in which they met some of the leading western clubs in the nation including Bradley, Nebraska, Niagara and the famous Phillips Oilers. They only managed to cop one victory, and that was over Washington Uni- versity of St. Louis, but they got valuable pro- fessional experience. The charges of Coach John Bunn still use the situation defense that proved to be effective in past campaigns, and with co- captains Alan Schutts and Larry McClements hav- ing their greatest years, the Maroons have been averaging over 72 points a game throughout the season. The varsity squad consists of only two seniors this year, Alan Schutts and Larry McClements; juniors Frank Januszewski, Lloyd Vye, Clayton Bywaters, Harry Good, Norman Whyte, Dick Bal- zer and Joe Fisher; sophomores Charlie Shares and Bob Morrison. The offensive stars for the Maroons this year have been big Alan Schutts who at this writing has tallied 526 points thus far for an average of 25 points per game, and who threatens to shatter several New England Intercollegiate basketball records before the season concludes; Larry McClements who has been having his greatest season averaging 13 points a game; Lloyd Vye, and two rebounding demons, new- comers Frank Januszewski and Clayton By- waters. Harry Good, Joe Fisher, Charlie Sharos and Bob Morrison also chipped in with some clutch scoring performances in many contests. The maroons set a new school scoring record when they tallied 92 points twice against Ameri- can International and Rhode Island. This Ma- room team will score more points this season than any other Maroon team in the history of the sport here. Alan Schutts broke the individual scoring record for total points in one contest when he tallied 44 points against Tufts. Some of the highlight wins of the season thus far are over arch-rival American International, Washing- ton U. (St. Louis) and St. Anselm ' s. Only two seniors will be lost through gradua- tion so the outlook for the 1953-1954 season is indeed very bright with several promising per- formers coming up from the Freshman and Jun- ior Varsity squads.

FRESHMAN BASKETBALL As November rolled around, Vern Cox called together the first practice of the Maroon freshman basketball team for 1952-53. Approximately 75 men reported for that initial session during which Coach Cox outlined the program for the seas- on. It was just before the Christmas vacation that the team was cut to the maxi- mum fifteen. Those fifteen, the cream of the freshman basketball candidates, were: Paul Grogan, Charles McCord, Edward Taylor, George Dabilus, Ronald Miller, John Zaccaro, Ralph Pendleton, Charles Wilson, Emil Willis, Richard Jackson, Joseph Glasgow, Phillip Cone, Cash, Ernie Tomlin and George Case. Out of a ten game schedule, the Frosh established a six and four record for the season. The list of victims of the Maroons consisted of: Providence College Frosh, twice; Clark University Junior Varsity, University of Rhode Island Freshmen and the Tufts Freshmen. The yearlings were bested in four contests by Dean Junior College on two occasions, Holy Cross Freshmen and the University of Massachusetts Freshman team. One of the most outstanding freshmen performers on the hardwood for Spring- field College this season was Paul Grogan, a 6 ' 1 sharpshooter from Worcester, Mass. Paul succeeded in smashing the records for high score in one freshman game with 39 and for the most points during a freshman year with 210, previous- ly set by Alan Schutts in 1948-49.

The complete 1952-53 season of the varsity wrestling squad hasl not been completed at this writing but to date, the matmen have compiled a 5-2 record; the Maroons have yet to face Har- vard, Brown and M. I. T. Coach Raymond Sparks ' grapplers have conquered Yale, Wes- leyan, Tufts, Coast Guard and Hofstra, while los- ing to a powerful Franklin and Marshall team and the Williams College squad. Three Spring- field College matmen, Sam Coursen, Don Stub- belbine and Al Sotir in the 123, 130 and the unlimited weight classes respectively, have per- fect records so far. At New Haven the Maroons opened their season successfully by edging the Eli of Yale, 14-12. Stubbelbine, Springfield ' s 130 pounder was instrumental in the victory by recording the lone fall of the contest. Sotir ' s thrilling 12-11 decision provided the deciding margin. The next meet found the locals journeying to Lancaster, Pa., to engage in a contest with a talented Franklin and Marshall team. The Ma- roons came out on the short end of a 22-8 score. Stubbelbine and Sotir were the only Maroons to capture wins. Wesleyan was the next foe to fall to the Springfield eight in a meet held at the field house. Stubbelbine, Bock, Jones and Sotir earn- ed decisions while Prakelt and Mulligan drew with their opponents. Coursen registered the only fall of the day to account for the 21-7 victory. Williams College tagged defeat number two on the Maroons ' slate by a 23-12 count while Coursen, Stubbelbine and Sotir were the only ones able to register wins. After this defeat the matmen rebounded by whitewashing Tufts Col- lege 36-0 and sinking Coast Guard 23-3. The best showing of the season was accomp- lished when the Maroons defeated the Hofstra College team at the Memorial Field House by an impressive 19-9 score. Springfield ' s pin twins, Coursen and Stubbelbine pinned their challengers to give Springfield an early lead while Mulligan, Cowan and Utter were the other winners for the Maroon team. mins Sam Coursen, from Forty Fort, Pennsylvania, was the Senior Captain of the 1952-53 Varsity Wrestling team (New England Champions— Three Years). In four years of collegiate wrestling, Sam had only one blemish on a near perfect record. The highlight of his wrestling career came when he was chosen as a member of the Olympic Wrestling team representing the United States at Helsinki in 1952. ehtfl (CrrtififE tljat Samuel cl- Coursen tuaii srlrrtrii a mrmlirr uf thr Wrestling tram nf alic Iluilri) § latrs (Ohjmptr (Tram uf liI52 ertnmla hrll) atTHmcsJa. lltiitrii tptatrs C0U(ut;ttr (Euiumittw First row: Dave Halliwell, Bruce Jamieson, Joe Alissi, Dick McMullen, Hal Soobitsky, Ron Rouleau, Dick Kamis.

FRESHMAN WRESTLING The Springfield College Freshman wrestling team had a 4-0 record at the writing of this article, with victories over Wesleyan, Phillips Andover Academy, Tufts and Phillips Exeter Academy. The grapplers opened their season with a meet on their home mats against Wesleyan, winning 25-13. The Spring- field yearlings lost their first two matches, but came right back to sew up the meet. A strong Phillips Andover squad was the next adversary for the yearlings, who came out on the long end of a 19-9 decision. Dick Kamis, Joe Alissi, Leon Kalesnick, Bruce Jamieson and Hal Soobitsky all collected points for the Maroons. Springfield then traveled to Tufts where they won 25-13, to keep their undefeated record intact. Two forfeits and three pins gave Springfield their. 25 points. Injury struck Springfield ' s ranks for the first time when little Dave Halliwell, yearling 123 pounder, twisted his knee very severely and put him out of action for several weeks. Phillips Exeter Academy gave the yearl- ings their greatest scare when they edged out a victory by a 16-14 score. Going into the final match Springfield was down by three points, but Dick Kamis made short work of his opponent by pinning him in two minutes of the second period. The yearlings thus far boast two undefeated wrest- lers, Joe Alissi and Hal Soobitsky.

Harvard spoiled the 1952-53 debut of the mermen by the tune of 61 to 23. The Crimson were led by All-Americans Hedberg and Dilling- ham. The Silviamen commenced to annex their next three outings with Holy Cross, Wesleyan and Tufts as their victims. Olympian-studded Yale conquered the Maroons at Payne-Whitney gymnasium for their 92nd straight consecutive dual meet victory. A gasping crowd of well over three hundred witnessed one of the most phenomenal meets on record when the Maroons played host to the New England champion Williams tankmen on February 7th. At the conclusion of the meet, seven New England, three Springfield College, three Williams College and four pool records were established for the 20 yard McCurdy Natatorium course. Junior Bill Yorzyk initiated the record parade with a 2:12.2 effort, shat- tering the existing New England and College records. Soph Jack Mayers squalled the national mark in the 120 yard individual medley with a 1:13.4 performance. The Springfield record parade came to a halt when Soph Bruce Hutchin- son erased the existing mark in the 440 yard free style event in the time of 4:51.2, a N. E. A. record as well as a College record fell as a result of the latter time. The final score of this famous meet was 52 to 32 in favor of the Ephmen. Following the Williams loss, the team traveled to Hanover where the Big Green of Dartmouth avenged last year ' s reversal in a 52 to 32 struggle. With Brown, Trinity and Connecticut remain- ing, Coaches Charles Silvia and Bill Campbell have aspirations of concluding the season with a six and four record. On March 12th and 13th, the track squad trekked to Boston to compete in the New Eng- lands held at M. I. T. The Maroons were out to better their third place standing of last year. Backstroker and individual medley standout May- ers, and free styling distance specialists Yorzyk and Hutchison represented Springfield in the Easterns, the Nationals and the A. A. U. championships. Via graduation the team will lose their sprint- ing Co-Captains, Hubey Slack, Charlie Butt and Pete Preble. Other gaps will be left by the loss ot middle distance men John Hetherington and Bob Klinedinst and backstroker Bill Thompson.

At the winter Homecoming meet the Brown swimmers managed to salvage a win in the final event. In the season ' s finale the undefeated U Conn freshmen maintained their winning ways against the Springfield team who returned home on the short end of the score. During the annual aquatic show, Terry Tyler, Ed Belanger and Art Schonheiter teamed up to establish a new pool record for the freshman 120 yard medley relay. Co-Captains for the squad were Art Schonheiter, diver and sprinter, and Ed Belanger, once defeated breaststroker. 101 FRESHMAN SWIMMING First row: Bob Falvo, Art Schonheiter, Bill Taylor.

The Springfield College freshman swimming team of 1953 had a dual meet record of one win and five losses for the season ' s competition. In pre-season competition the yearlings, under the coaching of Bill Campbell, suffered a defeat at the hands of Williston Academy but gained a victory from both Tech and Classical High Schools. The splashers began their season on a victorious note by taking the measure of Wesleyan ' s frosh by a score of 49-26, but on journeying to Tufts for their second encounter they were nosed out by the mar- gin of two points.

Spring Trip Despite one of the heaviest schedules in recent years and the usual load of class work, the members of the 1953 Exhibition Team proved themselves unbeatable by pre- senting a record number of over thirty performances throughout the Eastern States. Under the brilliant guidance of Leslie J. Judd, the talented gymnasts terminated the 1953 season with a high feeling of creditable accomplishment both as a service to the College and in the interest of gymnastics. While attempting to follow the purpose of broadening the interests in the gymnastic phase of athletics, the unofficial good will ambassadors of Springfield also thrilled and awed thousands of spectators as well as carrying the College ' s message of service far and wide. The indi- vidual team members also contributed much to further the concept of Spirit, Mind and Body while being guests of scores af families through- out the various communities. Capable leadership throughout the entire cam- paign rested upon Co-Captains Ted Hunt of Washington, D. C., Jim O ' Brien of Waterbury, Connecticut and Coordinator Bob Omura of Hawi, Hawaii. Both Hunt and O ' Brien proved to be seasoned performers as well as capable lead- ers upon their completion of four years associa- tion with the Gym Team. A member of the cur- rent junior class, Omura handled the bulk of the team ' s business affairs with commendable efficiency. Featuring many intricate exercises on the various pieces of apparatus, the team also thrill- ed many with its daring tumbling and long horse vaulting stunts. Special team selections featured during the course of the season included the Log-A-Rhythms, the Military Tappers, the Russian Dance and the ever popular Bamboo dance. Once again as in previous years, thousands gasped in awe and wonderment as the famous Living Statuary to Youth, originated by Coach Judd, climaxed each performance. Outstanding performers contributing to the team ' s success included Bob James, Issie Battino, Erik Kjeldsen, Ted Steeves, Jay Neary and Bbb Denoncourt, to name a few. The Triple Balance team, composed of O ' Brien, James and Steeves, again proved to be very popular as well as the exciting Judo demonstration of Lou Primmer and Paul Roberts. The musical accompaniment of the team featured Walt Price at the piano while the amiable Dick Russell MCeed the shows with a unique touch. Efficient work of the managerial crew kept every performance running smoothly with Equipment Managers Dick Gross and Bob Christie, Electricians Bob Finn, Bob Freeman and Roger Rickard taking full charge of the affairs.

FRESHMAN EXHIBITION TEAM Meeting regularly during the entire winter term, the members of the Frosh Exhibition Team undertook the task of learning the fundamental skills of all the gymnastics and team selections. As a preparatory group for future varsity team membership, the fifteen members of the team patiently bided their time in ac- quiring the different skills, new and strange to the majority of the boys. The members of the squad also assisted their varsity counterparts in a number of performances, including the annual Homecoming show in Springfield. The team was ably coached by Irv Schmid who along with his assistants, Don Relyea and Ray Chinn, demonstrated the skills and developed several men who are sure to find places on next year ' s Varsity team. MURALS The Intramural program presented six events during the Winter term. These events were: basketball (Dorm League, Independent and Class Leagues), swim- ming, foul shooting, handball, badminton and wrestling. Of these events only basketball, swimming, foul shooting, badminton and wrestling were completed at the end of the term. The basketball competition was divided into four leagues; each league being represented by its winner in the final play-offs. In the quarter-finals the Sky- rockets, National League winners, were pitted against Third South, the Dorm league finalists. The second contest was composed of the American League win- ners, FOB and the Grads of the Class League who were also last year ' s All-College Champions. The outcome of these contests resulted in the Skyrockets meeting the Grads for the title in the final game. The five year men won the contest, 53-49, to retain the basketball intramural title for ' 53. The swimming meet had seven events as forty contestants from the five class- es participated in the competition. The Grads won the team title by virtue of copping four of the seven events. The remaining three events were divided be- tween the second place Juniors who scord 35 points and the third place Seniors with a total of 29 points. The foul shooting contest was won by the Frosh who scored 4-1 points by placing four men in a tie for third place in the individual honors. Second place went to the Seniors with 36 points and third place was won by the Juniors with a total score of 29 points. The individual honors went to Bob Christie, a senior, who won the title by sinking 45 out of 50 throws. Blythe won second place with 42 and third place was taken by the Freshmen, Frey, Jordan, Hasley and Healy, by scoring 41 baskets respectively. The Badminton tourney was held on March 3rd and 4th on the courts in the Field House. A well supported tournament by all the classes found the Grads in first place with a total of 60 points. The Seniors were second with 55, the Juniors third with 49, the Frosh earned 42 points and the Sophomore entries rounded out the scoring with 20 points. Kamir Hakin-Din, from Pakistan, won the badminton singles title and he teamed up with Rodger Rada to take the doubles crown too. Wrestling gave the college grapplers a chance to exhibit the holds, takedowns and such learned in P. 219 at one time or another. In this intramural event the Junior Class took the 25 points for first place wtih a number of entries and Norm Anderson and Hal Haines winning in their respective weight divisions. In second place, the Sophs added 15 points to their season ' s total, the Frosh in third had 10 and the Grads ended up with five points. The Handball intramurals were started early in the winter term and were still in progress at this writing, although it appeared as though last year ' s winners in the doubles were on the way to a possible retention of their title. These were Faculty members Mr. Allen and Steitz. Dick Fox and Al Pash also were moving towards the final rounds too. Mr. Steitz is also proving strong in the singles ranks. Frank Warren and Jack Viele have a number of wins to their credit. Congratulations are in order for the Intramural department for their efforts in increasing the role that intramural athletics are playing in the campus lives of our fellow students. 107 Him- -., wi� Tton |f: •:‘ Tp7r ; r !W W T i ;• � • i mV 1 ! 1 • 1 1 First row: Rip Van Camp, Bob Massey, Jean Crawly, Bill Boone, Carolyn Birdsall, Tom Hall. Chairman — BILL BOONE I CALENDAR COMMITTEE Once again the Calendar Committee of the Junior Class came through with a completed product that was the boon of the busy Springfield student. This year ' s calendar was once again divided into morning and afternoon sections because of the great demand for that style. The calendar has all the important col- lege dates handily listed as well as a large number of excellent campus photographs. The cost of the calendar was held to the previous year ' s price which was gladly noted by all students. This handy small sized calendar is a private secretary to busy students and faculty who welcome it. Bill Boone and his staff should be heartily praised for their fine job. I 10 President . Vice President Secretary-Treasurer Advisor BILL MAKER PAT RALSTON BILL SMITH MR- DUNN The main purpose of the Golf Club is to give stu- dents interested in competitive golf a chance to satis- fy their desires. The Golf Club is considered as an athletic club, but they carry on many matches with other schools in New England. A team is picked from the club on an elimination basis, and it is that team that represents the school. The club boasts several outstanding golfers who compiled an enviable record this year. The main aim of the Golf Club is to have golf accepted on a varsity basis by the school. Through tireless effort, they hope someday to achieve that goal.

INTER-CLUB COUNCIL The Inter-Club Council was formed on campus with the purpose of uniting and strengthening the efforts of the many clubs and classes. They have been very active in sponsoring such activities as the All-College Outing, Springfield! Night and Stepping-Up Day. They have worked hard to cement the friendly relations between Springfield and A. I. C. and have gone far in this direction. Each class and organization has one representative to this group that meets every week to discuss how all the organizations may be brought closer together for the benefit of all students.

In order to insure a worthy presentation of this event, a committee was chosen from the Junior Class to plan and carry out all details for Springfield ' s one big formal dance. This committee was formed last year and they have work- ed and planned hard ever since. In addition to the dance there are all types of athletic contests and folk dances that go to make up the Prom weekend. The efforts of these men was not in vain. They produced a dance that had an excellent band, colorful decora- tions and favors, and an atmosphere of fun for all. Certainly this small group deserves a share of praise for the excellent dance and weekend that was en- joyed by all those who attended. 113 The Social Activities Board is a part of the student government whose function is to accept or reject club charters, budgets, scheduling of events and other such functions. The board is made up of students and faculty who are elected by their respective classes. A student representative is president of the board. This board has done notable work for the students and the school in the past year. A true service organization in every sense of the word; working for the students and the school practically unnoticed and unpraised. President ....

FEBRUARY k, 1953 One of the most active or- ganizations of the campus is the Springfield Student. It is the of- ficial college newspaper, which is published weekly during the school year. The paper is recognized as a class publication by the Ameri- can Newspaper Service. As is evident by this rating, the staff has produced a publication that is cognizant of the highest ideals and requirements of journalism. The newspaper has given ex- cellent coverage to all phases of campus, national and interna- tional items of interest. Among its features are an ex- cellent sports section, editorial page and the often controversial column, The Warpath, by Tommy Hawk. The members of the adminis- trative staff attended a meeting of the National Collegiate Press Conference in New York City this past year. Congratulations to a group that has constantly served the student body in such a creditable fashion. The Student deserves a great deal of praise because through the efforts of the efficient staff, a number of important events might otherwise pass without sufficient recognition.

The Council meets once a week to handle all business that is pertinent to the student body, or might affect them in any manner. Each class has representatives which help to bring forth the wishes of all college students. The officers of the Council are elected in the spring with the entire student body voting in a democratic process. The members of this council gain invaluable knowl- edge in the area of government and service to their fellow man through the varied activities and problems that they deal with.

VARSITY BASEBALL RECORD SPRINGFIELD Head Coach-ARCHIE ALLEN Davidson Lenoir Rhyne Elon Richmond Yale Amherst Trinity Providence Holy Cross A. I. C. Massachusetts Rhode Island Boston U. Colby Providence Williams Wesleyan OPPONENTS 1,6 . 13 4 , 3 - 3 1 1 _ 2 5 , 4 9 Coach Archie Allen ' s varsity baseball team did not repeat the championship feats of the 1951 season, but they did compile a commendable 15-4 record and at the same time gained the reputation of being one of the top powers in the New England area. The Maroon nine made a pre-season excursion to the south lands and gained a great deal of practice and experience. The locals also displayed much promise by winning four of the six games that they played with the rebel squads. When the Maroons returned home, they quickly set out to prove that their wins in the Dixieland were no accident, for they posted successive victories over Yale, Trinity, Amherst and Providence. Springfield ' s next encounter was with Holy Cross, the team that was later to be declared New England Champs, and the Crusaders handed the hometown aggregation their first set-back of the season by a 9 to 8 score. Springfield continued their schedule by blanking arch rivals AIC, but in their next game they suffered their second loss of the season to a strong U Mass nine. The Maroons made Rhode Island their next victim, but in the next contest the locals found BU pitching too tough as the Hub city defeated Coach Allen ' s charges on a no-hitter. In completing their schedule, Springfield posted wins over Colby, Providence, Rhode Island and Wesleyan, and their only loss on the home stretch was to Williams College. The 1952 squad lost such stalwarts as Captain Ed Redmond, pitchers Jim Pelcher and Tom Tewksberry, outfielder Tom Ruggerio and catcher Tony Hop- kins, all by way of graduation. Many lettermen that will be back in action this year include such standouts as third baseman George Flood, the keystone combina- tion of Larry McClements and Jay Gernand and the mound trio of Hank Tomi- naga, Al Schutts and Frank Warren. Returning for catching chores will be Wally Sunderland and Walt Smith, while the work in the outfield will again be as- sumed by Sherm Kinney and Al Griggs. With the exception of Griggs and Gernand, the entire group of lettermen just mentioned are all seniors and are playing their last year of collegiate baseball.

Safe? 122 ril r A FRESHMAN BASEBALL Under the capable tutelege of Coach Ed Steitz, the class of ' 55 baseball team turned out to be one of the most potent yearling diamond squads in years, racking up seven wins in eight starts. The only loss that marred their record was a 1-0 defeat by Amherst. The remaining seven games were won with comparative ease, as the hustling frosh toppled such opponents as U Mass, RPI, Suffield, Worcester and Cheshire Academies, Western Massachusetts Pharmacy and Westfield State Teachers. Instrumental in the victories was the pitching of Ulrich and Hood, the catching of Barber and the hitting of Bradbury, Berquist, Cropsy, Kobuskie and Snel- son. Judging by these performances and in- dividual play, many of the yearlings seemed destined to climb to the varsity ranks this com- ing season.

The tracksters fell victim to Wesleyan, Rhode Island and Boston University, but they did receive some consolation by placing second in a tri-meet with Bowdoin and U Conn, in which the Maine array took first place honors. The track squad was led by Co-Captains Don Sandstrom and Jack Hurst, and both provided top- leadership and individual performances throughout the season. Sandstrom was a consistent winner in the hammer event and the hefty senior climaxed his college career by heaving the steel ball 171 ft. 4 2 in. for a new school record. Hurst was the top performer in track events, and captured several blue ribbons in the 880 yard run. Hurst also brought his collegiate career to a fitting climax by placing second in the Eastern for the 880. Other Maroon performers who were impressive include Frank McGrath, who aided the team in the hammer, shot and disc events, and Bill Hillman, Bob Good- win and Pete Fitch who were all responsible for points in the cinder events. This entire group along with Larry Rowell, Carl Christensen and Gran Roman will appear on the 1953 graduation list. Due to the loss of so many veterans, Coach Judd will be faced with a re- building program for the 1954 season, and such returning lettermen as Al Sotir, Joe Fisher and Jim Granberry are expected to provide the nucleus for next year ' s squad. 125 CARL CHRISTENSEN BILL HILLMAN via m JERRY PERRY GEORGE CHRISTOW Co-Capfain-FRANK McGRATH Co-Captain — BOB GOODWIN CHARLES RAY GRANVILLE ROMAN LARRY ROWELL 126 First row: Don Ross, Art Pilch, Hollis Smith, Carrnmy Greene, Barry Verney, John Skrabalak, Bob Corlette.

FRESHMAN TRACK Faced with a rugged five meet schedule against some of the top schools in New England, Coach Dick Miller ' s yearling track squad came through with a two and three record for the 1952 spring season. The two wins were against Nichols Junior College and Providence College, and the losses were to such powers as Amherst, U Conn and New Britain State Teachers. ' High point men for the frosh were lanky Andy Thompson who com- peted in the shot put, javelin, pole vault and hurdles and Jim Granberry who threw the jave- lin, discus and shot put, breaking the freshman record for the javelin and even competing in a few of the varsity meets. Other candidates who showed class during the season were Smith, Mathews, Greene, Eaton, Kavanaugh, Ross and Corlett. Undoubtedly many of these performers will help Coach Judd ' s varsity cindermen a great deal this coming spring.

VARSITY Taking into consideration that the emphasis has been on the rebuilding task, Coach Ted Kidess ' s Varsity tennis team wound up the 1952 season with a record of six wins and four losses. The netmen scored victories over the U. of Rhode Island, Holy Cross, Wesleyan, U. of Mass., R. P. I. and Trinity, while suffering reversals at the hands of such powerhouses as Harvard, Williams, North Carolina and Brown. 4 1 Head Coach-TED KIDESS 128 shman. in Connors, Bill Summers, Ed Newton, Coach Ted TENNIS The Maroon racquetmen were led by Co- Captains Bob Lake and Jeff Resnick, Ed Newton and Willie Summers alternating in the 1, 2, 3 positions while Charlie Butt, Jack Viele, John Connors and Walt Cushman finished up in the remaining three single departments. Singles play found three of the netmen emerging with im- pressive records. The most consistent was Charlie Butt who won seven of his ten matches. Ed Newton followed with a six and four record, while freshman Willie Summers showing a great deal of promise, finished victorious in five of his ten starts. The Summers-Butt combination proved the most effective in doubles play, as they cap- tured a seven and one record. Newton and Lake followed with a six and two record. The season started off rather slowly due to the lack of experience on the part of the new players, as the Kidessmen dropped their first two matches to Harvard and Brown. The Ma- roons then took their next two with 5-4 victories over Rhode Island and Wesleyan. After dropping a 7-2 decision to Dick Squires and his talented Williams jquad, the netmen won their third victory against Holy Cross. Interspersed with a shutout by the powerful Tarheels of North Caro- lina, the team finished the season in a blaze of glory, winning their last three matches against U. of Mass., Trinity and R. P. I. The Kidessmen will be without the services of Co-Captains Resnick and Lake this spring, but will depend heavily upon such returning letter- men as Connors ' 53, Summers ' 55, Newton ' 54, VARSITY SPRINGFIELD OPP. 0 Harvard 9 3 Brown 6 5 Rhode Island 4 5 Wesleyan 4 2 Williams — 7 Butt ' 53 and Cushman ' 53.

Competing against such powers as Wesleyan, Mt. Hermon, Trinity, Nichols Junior College, Deerfield Academy, RPI, Westfield and Keene State Teachers, ' the netmen gained valuable experience that will undoubtedly pay off for the varsity next year. The J. V. racquet wielders showed considerable improvement in their court play after dropping their first three matches to Mt. Hermon, Wesleyan and Trinity. In finishing up the season the J. V. ' s won their last three outings against RPI, Westfield and Keene by decisive margins. Most notable of the performances turned in were by Bob Morri- son, Dick Prouty, Bill Baker and John Hopkins.

The fastest game played on an open field and one of the earliest origins in the country came to an end at Springfield College last spring as lacrosse bowed out of the picture— but not without a blaze of glory. Under the capable and earnest guidance of Coach Vern Cox, the Indians took five of their six matches. The team opened the season with a close 7-6 victory over Adelphi, and then squeaked by the following week with a 7-5 decision over Tufts. The Williams en- counter was the only mar on the Indians ' record, as the Ephmen galloped to a 10-4 win. The next three matches saw the Coxmen definitely outclass each op- ponent as they ran wild over Middlebury 19-7, Trinity 9-6 and WPI 12-6. It was a shame to see the sport leave the campus, but it was consolation to see it leave with such a fine team, said Coach Cox at the conclusion of the season. The men who made up the squad were for the most part, men who had played throughout their four years of college since the sport was introduced in 1948 on an informal basis. Twelve graduating seniors led by Co-Captains Paul Tripp and Ralph Decker played the game for the last time on May 30th, many of whom were instrumental in keeping lacrosse on a high level at Springfield. Among them were high scorer Lanny Hills, Skip Knuttgen, Cliff Stevenson, Angelo Insalaco, Don Glines, John Hartman, Don Lander, Herb Winslow, Stan Thornton and Bob Wabrek. However, seniors were not the only ones affected by the loss of lacrosse, as such under- graduate players as Don Bond, Paul Ryan, George Gernand, Dave Blinco, Huck Hannigan, Frank Schweighardt, Joe Chandler, Howie Poppe, Al Goodyear, John Fenning, Ed Smith and Joe Marland will find themselves without a team this year.

MR. WILLIAM PALMER Faculty Advisor WALTER ERSING Co-Business Manager ROY CORBETT Co-Business Manager This, the 46th volume of the MASSASOIT has proved to be a task involving many hands and hard work. In return, we have found a great satisfaction in publishing an annual that we hope you will be as proud of as we are. The MASSASOIT itself, has an interesting hrstory. The first issue of the yearbook was pub- lished in 1904 by the Senior class. It contained 103 pages and the context included the story of a new institution and its student body. The 1953 edition has tried to record the life of Springfield College today in a mature form, equally modern to the society in which we live. Previous to 1904, the yearbooks, known as classbooks, were given by a variety of titles. In 1903 for instance, the seniors published a book called the KiYi. The class of ' 98 edited a record which was a Retro- spect of Student Days ; and the men of 1895 called their classbook The Triangle. Their Re- union Triangle published in 1900 was a compila- tion of the brief history of the college to that time. The MASSASOIT was published by the Senior class until 1915, when the Junior class took over the project. However, in 1944, the diminished student body compiled a brief annual called The Maroon. The MASSASOIT has been an annual publication except during the war years 1918-19 and 1945-46. Now that our labors have ended, may we say that this staff has welcomed the privilege of publishing the MASSASOIT and we wish to express our thanks to the many whose efforts have brought about its successful completion. 180 ' ’ n • • ROBERT OMURA Photography Editor WILLIAM HOLDEN Senior Editor GEORGE KOROBKIN Photography Editor Publishing an annual such as the Massasoit, is an undertaking requiring the time and effort of a number of people besides those whose pictures appeal on these pages. There are a number of Juniors whose contribution was greatly ap- preciated and whose cooperative efforts made possible the 1953 MASSASOIT. Bob Sullivan Dave Burdge Dick Gross John Kiraly Dottie Webb Faith Bourne Jean Crawley Ken Hall Bonnie Vaughan Don Courtney Chuck Cresswell Bob Thompson Bill Foote Bob James Lou Primmer Erik Kjeldsen Norman Whyte Paul Roberts Edgar Bengston Norm Anderson Jim Hennessy Dave DelGuidice and the many others who did the little things for our class without due recogni- tion. Maryalyce McIntosh Hildegarde Ersing Jack Flannagan Ed Sims Ron Park Bob Goodwin Bob White Dick Dolan Joyce Lynch Mr. Holmes Vanderbeck Miss Stibbs Dick Page Bill Thompson Richard Russell Larry McClements Chipman Bull Others, outside the Junior class who deserve our sincere thanks are: our publisher ' s representative, Mr. Gron Lloyd and Mr. James Anagnost ' 48, and last, but certainly not least, our faithful, generous photographer, Mr. Henry S. Wright. |82 LOUIS ABRAMOVITZ Sports Editor Your Official . . .
