THE MARSH MEMORIAL LIBRARY 3 THE JUNIOR CLASS PRESENTS TIHE 19(54 MASSASCIT SRRI NOEII EEC CCLLEOE SPRINGFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS r rv Springfield College is hound together by something which has persisted since its founding. A smile, a kind gesture or in whatever form it may be disguised, this binding force is present in the Springfield of today and will likewise pervade tomorrow’s Springfield. This we call the Springfield Spirit. Typical of this spirit at Springfield College is Archie Allen. It is to him and to his family that we dedicate the Massasoit of 1954. 51599 INTRODUCTION From the beginning days in September to fleeting days in June our 1953-54 year at Springfield College has passed by. Herein lies the story of that year. For a passing moment let’s relive that story as we ourselves lived it.

President Stone comes to us with a broad back- ground of knowledge and well qualified for the task as shown by his fourteen years of government experience. Ilis governmental career saw him active in managerial and consulting services both national and international in scope along with his efforts in technical assistance pro- grams which reached tin 1 far corners of the globe. In President Stone we see a leader of the Springfield Spirit and a way of life we all are seeking. ?Ti?FT r: ii Zz5Et 3 - • rc-TO • • - T • •■ � • rClXPPTuaiilnSrft ' VICE PRESIDENT President Donald C. Stone’s an- nouncement of the appointment of Dr. Carlton Harrison as vice pres- ident was viewed as filling the most important gap in the official staff of the college. Mr. Harrison will head up a long-range plan for the development of Springfield College’s educational program and physical plant.

Secretary Treasurer SENIOR CLASS As our four years here at Springfield College draw to a close, the members of our class look back with fond memories on the best four years of our lives. As we think back, we can remember our first days here at our beloved school, even to receiving a dunking from the class of “53”. Many other memories come into view such as our participation in all sports and the help that members of our class gave to earn many of the trophies that have been presented to the college in the past four years. No one will ever forget the enjoy- ment we had in presenting the “Cinderella Ball” prom of 1953 and the other fine dances throughout the years such as the Fall and Winter Homecoming Dances. Of great pride also to our class was the editing and pub- lishing of the 1953 issue of the Massasoit. As the day of graduation draws near, we are happy in the fact that we will be able to carry out into our professions the principles that Springfield College stands for and thereby be able to help in some small way to bring a feeling of fellowship to the world.

DOCTORAL PROGRAM Now in its fourth year, the Doctoral Program on the Springfield Campus is steadily growing in stature. 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 and to develop capacity for independent and creative work in his field. With over fifty students working on their studies beyond the Master’s Degree, this group is guided by a steering committee set up to handle matters pertaining exclusively to them. The majority of the present doc- toral student body are preparing for college teaching. However many of the students have already made names in their chosen professions and have entered this program to further extend their usefulness in the social field through inspiring social thought and consciousness and to assure their professional and social leadership on a broad humane scale. 64 kv lL-l I GRADUATE CLASS The large number of candidates for the Master ' s Degree here at Springfield College shows the ever expanding desire for graduate training. While there are some enrolled under the G.I. Bill, the majority are taking graduate work under their own expense to better train themselves for their professions. The members of this class are a big help to the campus as a whole in many ways. Many of them serve as graduate assistants in teaching, coaching, and research, thereby not only furthering their own education, but performing a very vital educational service. Along with these services and their academic subjects, the graduate class proved themselves in intramural sports by coming out on top or near the top in almost every field. Not to he outdone by the undergraduate classes, the class held many social activities during the year, some for the members of the class only, and others for the school as a whole. The Graduate Class of Springfield College has always been noted for its participation in all phases of campus and community activities and services, and the present class has followed this lead. To prepare himself for the job ahead, the graduate student must put in plenty of hard labor, academic and otherwise, and this year’s class has truly shown the capabilities of the Springfield College Graduate Students. 65 66 JUNIOR CLASS Although the class of “55” returned this fall somewhat smaller CLASS OFFICERS U T • i than when it left a few months before, the same remarkable spirit President Jim Cranberry r Vice-President Robert Morrison that they showed as Freshmen and Sophomores was evident more Secretary Carroll Paine than ever during this year. Treasuiei Ted Connois A keen interest in the traditional Freshmen-Sophomore feud, competition on teams, and performing the many responsible campus positions held by the Juniors kept the class members well occupied throughout the year. The editing of the Massasoit and the publishing of the Junior Calendar were two tasks which were successfully met through the close cooperation of the Junior Class. The Junior Prom was another venture which was met with considerable success through the persistent efforts of our class members. Stepping-up Day provided sobering thoughts for the members of the class. For some it meant moving up into the seri- ous role of the Senior; for others, more fun at Springfield Col- lege, and for all an increased sense of responsibility for the part that they must play in an unstable world. The feelings of the class at the end of their Junior Year may best be expressed in these words: “It has been great to be Juniors, but even greater to be a student at Springfield College.” CLASS OFFICERS President Charles McCord Vice-President Ed Belanger Secretary Vanet Brush Treasurer Bell Taylor SOPHOMORE CLASS Although somewhat smaller in size due to the loss of members of the class to the Armed Forces, the class of “56” returned this past September with the same fine spirit and enthusiasm that was our keynote during our Freshman Year. The first two weeks of this year was spent in talking over old times, especially the good times that we had at Freshman Camp at the close of the Spring Term. Our new officers, elected the past term of our Freshman Year, soon started the class on its way to an even more successful year. A Traditions Court was established to guide the new Freshmen in the ways of Springfield College. This Court was unique in that it stressed seriousness rather than poking fun at the traditions offenders. Following the lead that they set in the first year, our athletes were represented on every varsity sport and in some cases were the leaders in their fields. The crowning highlight of the class of “56” in their second year was the sponsoring of the Winter Homecoming Dance which was one of the finest ever to be held on our campus. All was not fun and play as can he seen by the scholastic records of our class. As we continue our education we begin to realize that the insight and knowledge that we will need after our graduation comes from many sources and can be had only through our own hard work and initiative. ' t£f f ia i L zr . — j. +M V - sfflipiai FRESHMAN CLASS September 1953 brought forth on the campus of Springfield College a new Freshman Class that, through its spirit and the help of the Freshman Week Committee, was to make its presence felt throughout the college in a very short time. The spirit of the members has been the byword of the class and has tended to bind them into one of the most prominent forces on the campus. Although the bodies of some of the members of our class were dampened in the Annual Ropepull that was won by the Sophomore Class, their spirits were not, as was evident in the way the class went about putting on one of the most successful social events on the campus this year, namely the “Reverie” dance. Members of our class also brought forth their abilities early in the year by showing their prowess on the teams and being elected to various positions in the clubs and organizations that they CLASS OFFICERS joined. This ability showed up within the structure of our own President Vern Davis class when we elected co-chairmen to handle the reins until Vice-President George Benedict such time as we elected our present officers. Secretary Marcia Miller With only the first year of our college careers over, _ Treasurer Jack Costello the outlook for the class of 1957 of Springfield Col- lege is one that tends to show that we are destined to be prominent on the campus during the next three years and in our later chosen professions. STUDENT CUD N CUE field College. This incl udes such activities as approv- ing recommendations of the coaches for Varsity letters, acting upon functions such as exhibition games, and generally acting on athletic policy. At present, the committee is in the process of revis- ing the Springfield College Athletic Handbook which was drafted in 1948. There are five faculty members serving on the committee and four elected members from the student body. II Made up of class representatives and elected officers, the Student Council is the governing body for the en- rolled students. Meeting once a week, the council han- dles all business that is pertinent to the student body, or which might affect them in any way. The class rep- resentatives bring forth the wishes of the members of their particular class and represent their classes in all campus affairs that come to the attention of the Student Council. Elections are held every spring and the offi- cers of the Council are elected by the entire student body. lirst Row: D. Seamans, Secretary; M. Smith, B. Utter, Treasurer; I . Mack, B.

SOCIAL ACTIVITIES IBCAICID Made up of students, elected by their respective classes, and appointed fac- ulty, the Social Activities Board is part of the student government with the function of clearing on club charters, budgets, etc., as its main purpose. A student member of the Board is chosen by its members as president. One of the most important organizations on campus, the Social Activities Board is truly a service group and has done wonderful work in the past to better the functioning of the clubs on campus. The Abbey Hall Dorm Counselors deserve the congratulations of everyone for the wonder, ful work that they have accomplished during the year in the girls residence. Averaging one counselor for every twenty-five girls, the coun- selors are the go-between for the faculty, ad- ministration and students. These leaders are informal advisors to the girls and help develop a high spirit of friendliness and co-operation among the residents of Abbey Hall. aVEIDET IHaVILE ideipm COUNCIL Meeting once a week, the Abbey Hall Dorm Council is the representative governing body of the Women’s Dorm and directs the social activity for the Springfield College Women. The council plans social affairs, discusses all problems that come up pertaining to the dorm, and act as an intermediary for the girls. Be- hind all this is the main purpose of creating a true spirit of harmony among the girls that live in Abbey Hall. Among other social events, the council spon- sors at least three open houses, two major dances and frequent informal get-togethers throughout the year. 76 aXJBEET IHaVLE COUNSELORS Mary Beth Butler, President; Sheila Hayes, Vice-President and Social Director; Ann Cave, Secretary; Vanet Brush, Treasurer; J.

Its functions include sponsoring social affairs in the dorm, democratic administration and policy making for the dormi- tory. Made up of representatives from each wing, the Council meets twice a month to discuss and take action on policies per- taining to the dorm and its residents. The Council is not a club, but rather a governing body rep- resenting a massive organization of over four hundred male students. Its responsibilities are tremendous in order to foster the best type of living standards for those men it governs. ALUMNI HALL IDCICM COUNSELORS The Alumni Hall Dorm Counselors are not only leaders and counselors, but also friends and advisors to the men living on their wings in the dormitory. The counselors, under the direc- tion of Mr. Kidess, Mrs. Reddish and Ron Willoughby, are constantly working for friendly relations, and mutual confi- dence between the members of the dorm. In actuality, the dorm is a little world of its own, and the counselors try to help all parties involved to live and work together for the good of all. These counselors are always available to help anyone that needs help, and if they cannot do so, they know who will be able to help them in their particular problems. 77 First Row: D. Bird, A.

A great deal of credit for the spirit shown at the sports events of the past year goes to the cheerleaders. This group, which shows the true Springfield Spirit, went with some of the teams on their trips as moral boosters and helped to lead those students that attended the away games. Having lost a large part of their organization over the summer, the group began the school year with a fine start and before the first term was over they were up to full strength. Their spirit was the spark that boosted the team contests, not oidy at the event, but at the pep rallies before the contest. tUr tij. I CHEERLEADERS First Row: R. Little. C. Barstow.

Through the year numerous meetings were held, some of a pure business nature, some with guest speakers, but all with the one purpose of helping the physical education major to better understand and solve problems which pertain to his field and which they will meet after they enter the profession. Along with the speakers, some of whom were recent graduates of Springfield College, movies were shown that were of great interest to the members because of the subjects involved. One of the most active organizations on the Springfield campus, the Physical Education Majors Club is highly respected by the students and faculty alike. .AHi f MR ■ 7 EHS IKS — First Row: Mr. L.

ID IDA HAT II C CILILID The students of the college were greeted in the fall with signs reading “Back on Campus.” These signs were put out by the SCDC and announced the return of their plays to the campus. The fall term production was the “Male Animal” and was staged in room 100 of the Field House. The attendance at the two performances proved to the thes- pians that the students and friends of the school approved of the shows being returned to the campus. The acting was excellent in the play, and of equal deserving was the won- derful job done by the stage crew in erecting the stage for the performances. The winter term saw three one-act plays, one an original by a faculty member being per- formed in the Foyer of Alumni Hall. The Dramatic Club, formed for the purpose and aim of presenting one play a term, gives the students an opportunity to express what is enjoyable to both them and the audience as well. — 2 ’ 99 - ’ Sfc- Ij 1 it ..

Along with their regular meetings, the club has a vari- ety of social events such as dances, parties and speakers.

STUDENT WIVES Founded on the belief tliat the wives are a real part of the college family, the Student Wives Club has developed into one of the most active organizations on the campus. Holding their meetings every two weeks, the student wives promote friendliness and social activities among the married couples on the campus. Vari- ous speakers are brought in, movies and slides are shown, and a program of gen- eral interest is provided throughout the year. The club is noted for sponsoring many service projects and all college social events. 104 The closest association to specialized dance that we have on campus is the Modern Dance Club. With the help of Mrs. Gold, the present advisor, the club was organized in the fall of 1953 by students interested in modern dance. The club’s first performance was part of the entertainment for the “White Key Mardi Gras” and they also danced for a television show r . Having guest speakers of specialized fields such as Mrs Maleka Brown of Hawaii and participating in the dance demonstrations and classes of the Connecticut Valley Dance Council has kept the members active throughout the year. v; I- J « First Row: N.

The program of the (Juting Club is a year-round setup; including white-water canoeing, ski parties, hikes, camp-outs, skating parties, and other social events.

SIKH CLUE One of the youngest clubs on campus, the ski club has as its primary purpose the function of acquainting as many students as possible with recreational and competitive skiing. The club is active from November to April and all weekends are spent skiing at nearby or dis- tant areas depending on the current ski re- ports. On occasional weekends there are races which attract a few of the members. Meetings and pictures on special phases of skii ng are held during the year. A banquet climaxes the club’s activ- ities. AQUATIC CILUIE One of the highlights for the students during the Winter Term is the Annual Water Carnival put on by the Aquatic Club. This program is only a part of the-over-all purpose of the Aquatic Club to advance aquatics and promote the social life of the members and the student body. In addition to the above mentioned Water Car- nival, the club also sponsors such events as an an- nual dance, speakers, movies on aquatics and guest swimmers of national fame. The proceeds of these events go into a treasury set aside for the construc- tion of a new swimming pool for the college. 108 ntc m M f .TT f 1 ' F-A First Row: Mr. C. Silvia, Advisor; D.

Organized three years ago, the Grapplers Club has kept pace with the growing interest of this sport in the east. The main purposes have been to explain anfl demonstrate the art of amateur wrestling, to make clear the statement that “99 per cent of professional wrestling is a fake, and the other 1 per cent a mistake,” and to promote amateur wrestling throughout New En gland. These are made possible by putting on shows for various business and fraternal. organizations throughout the community. The proceeds are used to finance the activities of a J.

While not a varsity sport, the volleyball team has built up a reputation that is know ' ll throughout the volleyball world. Although they have held such titles as National Collegiate Champs Second Place winners in International Col- legiate Championship, the team does not rest on its laurels, but continues in the fine spirit that it has always shown. Even more important than winning titles are the clinics in volleyball that the members help put on each year.

The club membership rolls show many of our top spring and fall harriers and track men taking part in this program. It not only helps them keep in shape, but permits them to take part in many track meets held in various cities of the East Coast. The members of the club have carried the name of the college into many meets and have always left a favorable impression on both spec- tators and competitors alike. For this the members deserve our congratulations for a job well done. R. Willoughby B. Hodgdon R. Condes B.

Facing the job. which was something new to most members of the staff, brought many problems such as schedul- ing pictures, raising money, and meeting deadlines. However, all these were made easier through the co-operation of many, espe- cially Dr. Brooks, Mr. Sims, Mr. age, and the Student photog- raphy staff. Cl C| B. Bock, Co-editor; f)r.

This year’s Maroons won 4, dropped 3, and stalemated 2 encounters under the guidance of Ossie Solem. who completed his eighth campaign here at Springfield College and his thirty-second year of his coaching ca reer. Led by Morris, ' ' t acavone, Chandler and Pilatowski on the offense, and K. Hall, LeRoy, Connor, and Sotir on the de- fense. the Maroon and W bite eleven got off to a fast start and were undefeated through the initial six games. Facing their toughest foes in the final three contests, the Solem men fought hard, but not quite hard enough as the opposition set the gridmen back in all three affairs. In the opener of the year, the Maroons blasted the Cortland squad by a 34-6 count on the latter ' s home field. Morris tallied two touchdowns and Curt Guild played well from his left terminal position. Ander- son. the first string fullback, suffered a fractured hand in the game. The next two games found the Maroons shutting out the opposition completely. Williams battled Springfield to a scoreless stalemate at Williams despite several injuries to the Ephmen during the fracas. Norwich was the second victim of the Springfield Gridders as they fell before a 19-0 avalanche. Chandler scored two of the touchdowns to lead the victors’ attack. In the home opener for the footballers, U. of Mass, proved obliging as they gave the Maroons their third triumph of the season, 20-7. Chandler again broke through for a pair of paydirt drives and Kenyon followed suit in the last canto with a lone score. The Maroon’s forward wall proved outstanding on defense against the Redmen and the foes before them. In the fight for the Mayor’s Cup, A.I.C. and Springfield had to be satisfied with a split as the teams fought to a scoreless draw. It was the second such contest for the locals and during the first five encounters, the gridmen had per- mitted only thirteen points to be scored against them. This was all changed in the remaining games, however, as the opponents became tougher, so the scores became higher. St. Michael’s had the hosts down 20-6 here on Pratt Field in the third stanza, before the Maroon and White exploded for four touchdowns and an extra point under the sparkling leadership of Yacavone, before a Dad’s Day crowd of 3,000. Morris scored four touchdowns during the afternoon to run his total to eight for the year before the thrilled throng. Rhode Island brought Springfield’s win skein to a close as Pat Abruzzi bruised the visitor’s line at Kingston, R. I. The score read 18-6 at the end of the game and the powerful Rams rolled on. Brandeis hung defeat number two on Springfield at Pratt Field just after a snowy Friday night and only 500 fans were on hand to see the Maroons fall, 26-19. In the final contest of the year, the Solem men bowed to New Hampshire, 7-6, in a hard fought game before 3,000 Home- coming partisans. A Yacavone to Chandler pass provided the only touchdown for the losers. Ron Rouleau’s conversion attempt hit the uprights which made the difference plus the fact that the first extra point try by the Wildcats was blocked, but an off- side penalty against the Maroons gave New Hampshire another chance, in which they made good.

Chershire Academy shutout the Maroons 14-0 in the open- ing game. The locals could not muster anything in the way of offense, but they fared well on the defense. Wilbraham handed the Jays their second loss, 12-0, here on Pratt Field, on a cold, wet day. The final game gave the J.V.’s a little more to cheer about, even though they bowed to a pow- erful Dean Academy eleven, 21-6. It was their best showing of the year and they tallied their only Td of the year on a six yard pass from Paul Bean to fullback Les Levey in the end zone.

YAKS ITT SOCCER After a lapse of several years, a fighting band of hooters brought back the New England Soccer Title to the Springfield College Campus. Under the expert leadership and coaching of Irv Schmid, the Maroon Booters went through their New England League season with a record of 6 wins and 1 tie to win the coveted title. They clinched the title by defeating Harvard on the home pitch 3-1. In this overall record, the team compiled a fine record of 7 wins, 1 loss and 1 tie. The Schmid-men opened their season by journeying to Cortland, where they lost to a very good Cortland team. However, this defeat helped the squad gain valuable experience and they returned to the New England League and began their march to the top. Outstanding among the team victories were those over arch rivals Yale and R.P.I., which the Maroons dropped by the same margin, 1-0. The winning of the New England Title takes on added luster when it is realized that the Maroons had to replace many valuable men including two All Americans from the previous year. But with a strong nucleus of veterans such as Co-Captains Gernand and Foote, Anderson, Carrier, Hungerford, Ersing, they rebuilt successfully. Additional honors were won by Jay Gernand, who was elected to the All American Soccer Team along with his All New England honors. Bill Foote and Jack Carrier also received All New England honors. m First Row: D. Tingley, P. Sweeney, R. Haran, I. Stammers, P. Jurigian. Second Row: R. Aussiker, W. Harrison, R. Towne, L.

The Maroon hooters also tied the U.. of Conn., while losing to Mt. Hermon and Trinity in close matches. With the skills learned from Coach Cox such hooters as Bob Baker, Don Gibson, Bill Moore, Dick Haran and Paul Sweeney promise to give added strength in future years to the Maroon Varcity.

Hampered by the graduation of two of the school’s all-time greats, Alan Schutts and Larry McClem. ents, the Bunnmen faced a formidable task at the start of the season. With only four returning seniors. Coach Bunn was forced to experiment for several games to find a combination which would produce the best results. The team, composed of four Seniors, eight Juniors, and three Sophomores, started slowly, dropping 2 of its first 3 games before the Christmas holidays. However, during the vacation period, the team traveled south to Camp Lejeune in North Carolina and Quantico Marine Base in Virginia, where they played against some of the best players in the country. It was in these exhibition games that Coach Bunn was able to experiment and give valuable experience to many of his players. ♦ 1 pon resumption of school in January, the team resumed its New England schedule and played the top teams in the section. Particularly outstanding were the victories over New Hampshire, Providence, Rhode Island, A.I.C. and Colby. The Maroons looked very impressive in their last three games as they defeated Amherst, A.I.C. and Rhode Island in succession. In the individual departments, Bud Vye led the team in scoring and foul shooting, while Clay Bywaters led the team in rebounding. Captain Frank Januszewski was second in the rebounding department and a mainstay of the club.

The highlights of the season were the double wins over A.I.C. With all members of the squad playing almost equally, the team gained valuable experience in the Springfield System. In the two platoon system used by Coach Allen, the first squad was composed of Don Ruhland, Jack Sandford, Joe Kobuski, Bob Porter and A1 McCrae. The second squad consisted of A1 Hubsch- men, Ted Connors, John Fenning, George Dobilis, and Frosty Mathews. Also prominent this year was the emergence of Manager Bob White into a valuable mem- ber of the team. Coach Allen and his squad displayed great spirit and determination throughout the season and helped to typify the spirit of Athletics here at Springfield College. Although hampered bv a lack of Height in their lineup. Coach Vein Cox’s freshmen sharpshooters came through with a creditable record of 5 and 5 against the best freshman competition in New England. The Coxmen displayed a great ability of shooting and floorwork as they defeated the highly regarded U. of Mass. Frosh and Amherst Frosh in two of their best games of the season. Tire game against Tufts was the best offensively as the Maroon Frosh hit 88 points. L. Levins, E. Aldrich, Bill Moose, Ed Bilik, and R. Graves displayed much promise.

Assistant Coach. varsity wrestling I Continuing their supremacy in New England the varsity wrestling team ended the regular season with a record of six wins, two losses and one tie. The only losses came at the hands of Yale and West Point by scores of 14-13 and 13-12 repectively. A big factor in these upsets was the loss of services of New England Champion Joe Alissi and Co-Captain Bob Utter who were sidelined because of injuries. With their return the matmen started to roll and were undefeated in every meet to follow. Williams, Amherst, Harvard, and Brown, among others, came out on the short end of scores. Only a strong Franklin and Marshall team from Pennsylvania was able to stop the Maroons once they started. This ended in a 12-12 stalemate before a large homecoming crowd. Co-Captains Boh Cowan and Bob Utter were instrumental in leading the squad throughout the campaign. Bob Utter really came into his own as the season progressed and will be remembered for his stunning victory in the Franklin and Marshall meet which turned the tide for Springfield. Utter, along with Bob Cowan, Lacey Jones and A1 Sotir will graduate in June and will be difficult to replace in the lineup. A1 Sotir came through so many times with a clutch victory that he too will long be thought of when you turn to wrestling at Springfield. He was New England heavyweight champion. Returning next year will be the powerhouse of Stubblebine, Alissi, Mulligan and Bock, all New England Champions in their weight classes. Stubblebine has won laurels that total many. He was unde- feated this year with nine straight victories, won the New England 123 lb. Championship, and garnered the trophy for the most outstanding wrestler at the Tournament. Coach Ray Sparks has done a magnificent job, winning four championships in the last four years. He was elected president of the National Wrestling Coaches Association this past year and has gained recognition for Springfield throughout the wrestling world. 136 I ' ■•w A. Sotir B.

FRESHMAN WRESTLING Coached by Ted Dunn and Dixie McCool the freshman wrestling team garnered a tie for second place in the New England Wrestling Tournament held at Amherst College. Most of the candidates who reported in the early days of December for practice did not possess a great deal of experience and it took hard conditioning by Ted Dunn and Dixie McCool to make up for this shortcoming. Ed Amerantes was able to cop first place in the 123 lb. class and will bolster the varsity squad come next year. The squad was keyed for the New England Tourney and only a strong team from Wesleyan was able to outpoint them. Heavyweight Walt Bordonovich made a fine showing as did the other entries.

The team has proven a worthy successor to a long list of famed Springfield College teams. The exhibition team with its grueling but fun-filled schedule is one of the best public rela- tions agents that we could possibly have. Thi s year’s team, coached by Mr. Les Judd, who was ably assisted by Mr. Irv Schmid, reached their peak for the February 20 Winter Homecoming show at the auditorium. The crowd was thrilled at the performance of the team led by co-captains Bob James and Walt Ersing. They laughed at the clowns and were thrilled by the ever- inspiring tableaus.

Four of the meets were held on foreign soil and the remaining one here on the Pratt Field track ' and field grounds. M.I.T. spoiled the opening debut of the little Maroons with a convincing 88%-44% setback on M.I.T.’s track, hut the yearlings rebounded after the open- ing loss with a similar 85%-48% trouncing of the U. of Conn, freshman squad here on Pratt Field. The final three meets of the year were all played on foreign ground, and the frosh won two and dropped one of the contests. Amherst became the second victim in succession by a comfort- able 77% to 55% margin. Rhode Island stopped the Maroons their second loss of the year by a close 70-65 score, and the Cox- men closed out the season with a 74-61 victory over New Britain to push them over the 500 percentage mark.

Rhode Island Featuring one of the better tennis players in New England collegiate circles in Ed Newton and the ever dependable Charlie Butt, the Springfield College Tennis Team, coached by Mr. Ted Kidess, compiled a fine record against some of the best college competi- tion in New England last spring. Sparked by wins over strong Brown and Wesleyan teams, the Maroon netters completed this season with a record of 6 wins and 1 loss. The only setback came at the bands of an always strong Harvard team in the first match of the season. Thereafter, the Maroons went on to capture all their remaining matches. In the annual New England Inter- collegiate Tournament, Newton and Butt won their first round matches before rain forced postponement of the tourney. The nucleus of the team was composed of Co- captains Butt and Conners, who, along with Cusman and Newton, were holdovers from the previous year. The Maroon’s season was featured by the outstanding singles play of Butt and Newton, who lost but two matches all season, and the doubles combination of Newton and Hopkins, who were undefeated in the sea- son play; another outstanding doubles team was that of Jack Viele and John Connor ' s.

The increase in the number of women students at the college and the enthusiastic work of the sports managers have been largely responsible for the success of this program. The intramurals started out last spring with a closely con- tested softball tournament as well as tennis and badminton contests. The Junior team came out on top in the hard-fought field hockey tournament. The style of play and the spirit of competition were big improvements over the previous year. In the volleyball tournament Junior team eight was victorious. The nine teams in this tournament were nip and tuck until team eight finally took the top honors. The basketball intramurals are usually the most contested of all the tourna- ments. This year twelve evenly matched teams provided thrill- ing and exciting games. A newly formed drill team has per- formed for football and basketball games, proving themselves adept at precision marching. With practices every week the synchronized swimming team created the colorful water show presented in Spring term. m m hi «I«J 4 ' % i� � J Jt • a.� V ■%• II NTICAA4U KAILS Headed by Coach Vern Cox and his undergraduate assistant Bill Nunez, the intramural program at Springfield College has been a valuable part of the college’s activities this year. At the present time, the Sophomore Class is leading in the standings followed by the Grads and Juniors. With only the spring sports left to be tabulated, it seems that the Sophs will emerge on top for the year 1953-54. ' The Touch Football League held in the Fall had the Juniors claiming the title. Members of the Junior team were B. Mason, C. Sharos, K. Hood. R. Young, R. Traynor, and G. Sparks. In the Soccer League, the Sophs surprised the perennial Champions, the Grads, to win the title. M. Early, E. Bilek, W. Taylor, I. Wilkenson, J. Prince, and P. Crowe. The Sophs were also triumphant in the X-country race in which W. Taylor, ’56, was the individual champ. The Tennis Tourney was won by G. Sparks, ’55, in the singles and the team of M. Early and I. Wilkenson took the doubles for the sophomore class. In the Winter Term, the basketball loops took the spotlight. Every year this sport proves to he the most popular of all intramural sports. There were three leagues set up this year, Dorm, Class and Inde- pendent Leagues. In the Dorm League, 3rd South won the title, the Rainbows for the Independents and the Grads for the Class league. The Annex 5, runners-up in the Independent League, defeated the Rain- bows to take the title. The foul-shooting contests were won by D. Healy for the Sophs and second place was taken by B. Speciale of the Juniors. The swim meet was also taken by the Sophs, winning the 120 yd. medley and the 160 yd. freestyle relay. Coach Cox and his assistant deserve a great deal of praise for their efficient running of the program and continued interest. It is through their efforts that the intramural programs at Springfield College are so interesting and beneficial to the students.
