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

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
