WIESER INFIRMARY CAMPUS ALUMNI HALL WOODS HALL MEMORIAL FIELD HOUSE EAST WEST GYMNASIUM m w DR. FRED G. BRATTON COACH LESLIE J. JUDD MR. ERASTUS W. PENNOCK mr Spirit • -src % n ■ - r j The 1955 Massasoit is dedicated to three gentlemen who, in all respects, truly repre- sent the undeniable axiom which is Spring- field College. It is dedicated to three men who have visualized this great axiom that it might exist. It is dedicated to three men who have aided, through their intellectual faculties, their great moral and voluntary powers, this institution of higher learning and its graduates to great heights of na- tional and international reknown and prowess. DR. FRED G. BRATTON Professor of History of Literature of Religion Dr. Bratton, through his great spiritual wisdom and insight, has created in the Springfield College student, regardless of religion, a desire for the most important thing in life — a religion and religious manner of existence. MR. LESLIE J. JUDD Professor of Physical Education Mr. Judd, in his duration, has been the stimulant of the intellects of all Springfield College men and women through his personal contacts in and out of the classroom, on the athletic field, and particularly through his Exhibition teams, of years past and to come, which have come to be a primary factor in the success and tradition of the college. MR. ERASTUS W. PENNOCK Professor of Physical Education Mr. Pennock, through his ever-present contact with Springfield College students in the classroom, in the training room, and on the participant aspect of sport, has instilled in his contacts the true Springfield Spirit, as well as the desire for and the knowledge of the necessity of q sound physical body created through physical activity and sound living. ABBEY HALL LOUNGE UMPUS ADMINISTRATION BUILDING v.saa ' MARSH MEMORIAL LIBRARY ABBEY HALL STUDENT UNION One of the more rapidly ex- panding foundations of our college is the trustees. Without their untiring assistance, our college would not be what it is today. It is with regret that all the trustees are not pictured here, but, although their pictures are not here, they are still remem- bered. Dear Senior, I have known personally many Springfield graduates during the past 25 years, — sent young men to the College, counseled with them during their days here, and employed them upon gradu- ation and later. Springfield is not just another college . Young men and young women come here with high purposes. We often think of them as being dedicated young people . Few profes- sional men and women have so great an oppor- tunity to influence the lives of the on-coming gen- eration, and it is my hope and belief that the Class of 1955 will live up to the high traditions of Springfield. This is a great time to be alive, and to strive for worthy purposes. The dividends are immeasurable. So let us enter upon our life ' s work and each make his special contribution to the world ' s moral and spiritual order. Dear Senior, I salute the Class of 1955. Your good works and spirit will remain as an important heritage for future generations of students. We shall miss the leadership which you have provided in this period of College development. But we shall take pride as we watch your progress in service to your fellow men. It is my earnest hope that each of you may find many satisfactions as you exercise a con- tagious influence for good, acting always on the imperatives of the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount. —President -Vice-president MR.

And to whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be expected.’’ Luke 12:48 DOCTORATE CLASS At the present time there are four full time students in the Doctoral program on campus. However, off campus, many others are busily studying for their qualifying examinations or collecting data for their dissertation. At various times these students return to campus to pursue their studies, mainly during the summer school session. The majority of the present student body are preparing for college teaching, while a few are preparing for administrative positions on the high school level and others are con- templating research areas in the physical edu- cation field. The program of study for the Doctor of Physical Education degree at Springfield Col- lege does not consist merely of hurdles to be cleared before receiving the degree, although certain definite checks along the way will be necessary in order to satisfy the faculty of the candidates ' scholarship and research comp- etence. Rather, this program is defined in terms of the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and other powers essential to the development of high level competence in physical education. The over-all structure is predicated upon the social and professional needs of scholars and leaders in this field. OFFICERS President Robert Kruse Vice President Leslie Leggett Secy.

Along with this group many Springfield College Alumni re- turned for advanced study in their chosen fields. In the graduate class of 1954-55 many foreign students are represented. Graduation in June will see these members returning to homelands to advance the Springfield philos- ophies. This year saw the fulfillment of a great deal of hard work and planning, with the announce- ment of a new course of study in Vocational Rehabilitation. This graduate major is under the guidance of Dr. Seth Arsenian and Dr. Cecil Morgan. The graduate students assume a major part of college responsibility by their work through assistantships in teaching, coaching, and re- search. Above and beyond this, the class has participated in all college functions, having been active in intramurals, clubs, and social life.

They have pioneered their way through four years and learned to work out in harmony, many challenges. The early steps in this learning process were the Rope Pull which they graciously conceded to the Sopho- more Class, and the successful Winter Home- co ming of ' 53, Manhattan Towers . Later they accomplished such things as editing the Massasoit, publishing the Junior Calendar, and of course the Junior Prom, A Little Bit of Heaven . Stepping Up Day meant moving up to the serious role of seniors, and with this they felt they had come a little closer toward reaching their goal. And now, as graduation approaches, as the pioneers, the Class of 1955 can look back on their four college years, secure in the knowledge that they have done their best in all that they attempted. And as they now turn a page in the book of their lives, they are looking forward eagerly to the next chapter.

This is the class of workers and leaders. It is its responsibility to fill the shoes of the departing seniors. They satisfy the curiosity of the freshmen and sophomores. They are called upon to create a suitable atmosphere on campus; they are asked for guidance and companionship. Individually and collectively, the Class of ' 56 has made many contributions long to be remembered here. Through the years, quality has been of the highest order, and they shall endeavor to pass it on to others.

Although academic achievements were uppermost in the minds of all, class efforts were directed to certain campus activities which would arouse interest. The largest responsibility of the Class of ' 57 was that of orientation of freshmen in the traditions of Springfield College. A Traditions Court was established and operated with one goal in mind— the betterment of the school. The earned freshmen punishments were de- signed to help each individual understand and realize the importance of traditions. Enthusiasm ran high and was well rewarded when the sophomores won The Cane Rush and the annual Ropepull. Le Nuit de Neige, the theme of the beautiful Winter Homecoming Dance greatly enhanced the college atmos- phere. The Class of ' 57 has fully valued its sopho- more year, as it has had many unforgettable experiences, all adding up— work and play alike— to make the next step in the ladder of education more fruitful and delightful.

With high hopes of conservative freshman hats and evading college traditions, they were faced with wear- ing fezzes which were their identification as the lowly freshmen of Springfield College. Although they tried to evade traditions, they seemed to be forever in evidence as they saw their classmates handing out water in the cafeteria and sweeping Senior Walk. As an introduction to college life, they were challenged with opposing the Sophomore class in the Cane Rush . It may have been a moral victory, but from the look of mud and dirt, it was a physical loss. Again the yearlings tried their strength against the Sophomore class in the annual Ropepull. This time there was less mud and more water as the class swam in the chilly November water of Lake Massasoit. They had to chalk up another moral victory, but a loss went in the book. Election of officers took place in December, 1954, with Jack Harrison becoming temporary President. In January he was elected President of the Class as a result of final elections. The class was invited to a dance attended by freshmen of five New England colleges. Patricia Foley was chosen Freshman Queen to represent Springfield. The class also joined together to organize a Freshman dance held in April under the chairmanship of Miriam Permenter. All in all, the Freshman year has been successful, and they are looking forward to a pros- perous Sophomore year as well. OFFICERS President Vice Pres.

This student-elected group serves as the voice of the student body and is the center of the campus student government. The weekly meetings of the Council are marked by problems and discussions which affect each student on campus. Various committees are appointed by the Council to represent the entire student body in its relation with the administration. Most improvements for the College stem either directly or indirectly from the Student Council. Knowledge of financing, organizing, approving, investigating, and interpreting, which is a valuable contribution to Springfield College, as well as to the community in which the student will later serve, is ample reward for the services rendered. 72 The Social Activities Board, a part of the Student Government, is composed of students who are elected by their respective classes and faculty appointed by the Administration. The function of the Board is to supervise the extra-curricular clubs on campus, their organization, finances, and program. The president of the board is a student who takes charge of all meetings and co-ordinates all of its activities. This Board has done notable work for the students and the college in the past year. It is a true service organization in every way, working practically un- noticed and unpraised.

These girls serve for one term, so that more girls will have the opportunity of gaining experience in the operation of the dormitory council. The council meets once a week, at which time the social events and problems in the dormitory are dis- cussed. These meetings are opened to all girls living in the dormitory, so they may see their council in operation. The council is responsible for the social activities of the dormitory. Some of these activities are: The Christmas Ball, the Valentine Dance, open houses, and jazz sessions. Other activities are two skit nights a year, and speakers on subjects of interest to the girls. The purpose of the dormitory council is to create a true spirit of harmony among the girls living in the dormitory. This purpose is achieved through the democratic processes of the council.

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 col- lege policies in the dormitory. These unsung women leaders should be given hearty congratulations for their tireless efforts and unbiased policies. 75 tmm hall iMiitmiToisY hum il The representative and legislative government of Alumni Hall comes under the jurisdiction of its Dor- mitory Council.

In order to improve this social and spiritual life, they act as advisors to the residents 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 to- gether for the common good of all.

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 conventions of secretaries. As in past years, the Association of Secretaries was host to the Regional Y.M.C.A. exec- utives who visit the campus each year. The club has done outstanding work to further the principles that the college was founded on. 80 CHAIRMEN Mr. Bunn, Mr. Vanderbeck The Athletic Committee is a necessary part of Springfield College. This includes such activities as approving recommendations of the coaches for Var- sity 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. ATHLETIC COMMITTEE Left to right: Ted Conners, Ed Bilik, Doug Steeves, Mr. Laveaga.

Led by drum major and baton-twirling champion Bob Garner, the Band was well received in Providence and in Boston when they appeared there at the football games with Brown University and Boston College. The Band, when football season was finished, quickly changed to, first, a symphonic ensemble for the Christmas convocation, and second, a peppy group who helped make those basketball games in the Field House just a little more enjoyable. In the Spring Term, the Band prepared a Spring Concert and also a short program for their part of the Stepping-Up-Day exercises.

Each candidate was selected for his spirit, personality, technique and ability. With the guidance of Issie Battino, long hours were spent in practice resulting in sore muscles. Issie ' s insistence on perfection resulted in a precise group. Along with the Varsity S , the cheerleaders led the pep rallies. Their presence at football and bas- ketball games created spirit.

Organized four 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 and 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 mis- take, and to promote amateur wrestling throughout New England. These are made possible by putting on shows for various business and fraternal organiz- ations throughout the community. The proceeds are used to finance the activities of a J.V. wrestling squad at the college and to send the college wrestlers to various local and national tournaments.

This past season the hockey team had a heavy game schedule, in which were found some of the finest teams in New England. The play- ers themselves provide the money for practice and trip expenses and handle all administrative functions that require their attention. Through their enthusiasm and fine hockey playing, 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.

The club membership rolls show many of the top spring and fall harriers and track men taking part in this program. It not only helps them keep in shape, but per- mits 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 spectators and competitors. For this the members deserve congratulations for a job well done. 96 The main purpose of the Intramural Council is to plan and carry out all intramural activities for the student body. Each class has a representative to the Council that sets up a program for all students who are not on any college inter-collegiate team, but want to participate in athletics. A program is set up on the class, dorm, and independent league basis, thus giving a great many students a chance to par- ticipate 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 in- terest 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 or- ganization 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.

Through the year, numerous meetings were held, some of a purely business nature, some with guest speakers, but all with the purpose of helping the physical education major to better un- derstand and solve problems which pertain to his field and which he will meet after he enters the profession. Along with the speakers, some of whom were recent graduates of Springfield College, movies were of great interest to the members because of the subjects involved. One of the most active organizations on the Springfield Campus, the Men ' s Physical Education Majors Club is highly respected by the students and faculty alike. 100 The closest association to specialized dance that we have on campus is the Modern Dance Club. With the help of Mrs. Gold, the club was organized in the fall of 1953 by students interested in modern dance. The club has performed for entertainment on several campus occasions throughout the last school year, including the Winter Homecoming Dance in February. The Springfield College Modern Dance Club be- longs to the Connecticut Valley Dance Council, which meets every week at a different college, having guest speakers and demonstrations by known artists in the dance field.

It is the official col- lege newspaper, which is published weekly during the school year. The newspaper has given excellent coverage to all phases of campus, national and international items of interest. Among its features are an excellent sports sec- tion, editorial page and the often controversial col- umn, The Warpath, by Tommy Hawk. Congratulations are due for a group that has con- stantly served the student body in such a creditable fashion.

Meetings are held at frequent regular intervals. Prominent guest speakers, various sales, educational films and recreational hours are featured attractions. The club has increasingly promoted the feeling of belonging to the college by participating in campus chest drive and home- coming week-end displays.

Dave Martins was elected as Chairman and Carol Jeffers as Secretary. Through the understanding and guidance of Mr. Allen, faculty advisor, this group accomplished a great deal. The task of this board is to enforce the observ- ance of the Campus Traditions by the Freshmen. They endeavored to do this not by punishment or strict laws, but rather by understanding and co-operation with the offenders. Although the members of this board may have taken a few trips to the lake and received the brunt of Freshmen pranks, they did a lot to strengthen the traditions of Springfield College. 1st row, left to right: Eleanor Gardner, Mr. Allen, Carol Jeffers, Dave Martens, Faith Kelley. 2nd row: Dave Pash, Faith Ann Coley, Phil Merriam, Marcia Miller, Bob Hoffman.

The Frosh-Sophomore rope pull, Springfield Night, pep rallies, dances, the organization and supervision of the cheerleaders and the responsibility for the Field House trophy case, were a few of the activities which were sponsored by the club this year. A noticeable addition to the Sopohmore-Freshmen ri- valry was the revival of the Cane Rush which was also sponsored by the club. This event added a great deal of color and spirit to this yearly rivalry.

The club participates in the major tournaments conducted by the United States Volleyball Association in which seasoned YMCA teams take the main part. The club ' s record of victories is limited, but their spirit is tops.

FOOTBALL The Springfield Maroons began their 65th football season with a resounding 14-13 victory over North- eastern, who was reported to be one of the top small college teams in New England. The Huskies didn ' t live up to their press notices and once again, the superb physical condition of the Solem charges told the story of which team would walk off the field victorious. John Leroy was outstanding with a good percentage of the tackles. The next game found the Maroons traveling to Waltham to take on Brandeis. The Judges didn ' t prove to be such good hosts and handed Springfield a 26-7 defeat. Springfield got back on the winning road as they entertained Colby and beat them 26-18. The next Saturday afternoon found the Solem charges traveling across the City to play on the grid- iron of the Aces from A.I.C. Both teams missed many good opportunities to break the scoring ice, but the Maroons finally broke through for 6 points which were all they needed to win the game. Big brother B. C. was the next foe on the Maroons ' list. The Eagles proved to be too much for the Spring- field club, but the Solemmen still played a great game, losing 42-6. The Maroons encountered the Rams of Rhode Is- land on Pratt Field and tried to beat Abruzzi and Company, but couldn ' t hit the scoring trail. Rhody went back to Kingston with a 13-0 victory. The next game found the men of Massasoit travel- ing to Providence to meet the Bruins of Brown. Once again the Maroons had a hard game against a very good team. They had to be content to return home with a 40-7 defeat. The Maroons traveled to Durham, New Hampshire, in hopes of getting back into their winning ways, but the Wildcats of University of New Hampshire had a different idea and sent the Solemn men home with a 48-0 defeat. The Wildcats were held to 7-0 for the first half, but the second half they ran and passed to score over a very tired, but fighting Maroon team. r Bill Bock Bill Eaton Bob Larrabee Sydney Hall Ted Conner, John LeRoy Jim Pie h I Al Hubschman Dick Jones Art Pilch Don Davies Springfield 14 7 26 6 6 0 7 0 Opponents Northeastern 13 Brandeis 26 Colby 18 A.I.C. 0 Boston College 42 Rhode Island 13 Brown 40 New Hampshire 48 Doug Riley Ted Dunn, Coach O.

The Fall of 1954 brought a very successful season to another never-say-die Maroon soccer squad. Under the leadership of Coach Irv. Schmid, All- American soccer player as an undergraduate at Springfield, the hard driving booters won seven of their nine scheduled games. They outscored the op- ponents 28 to 18, losing only to Williams and Har- vard. The 1953 New England Champs did their best to bring back the New England laurels once again to our campus, but Dartmouth whom . Springfield was unable to schedule, won top honors. Jim Farrier did a noble job as captain of the squad during the past season. Other outstanding players were Rodger Rickard, high scorer for the squad, booting home more than a third of the total goals; Bob Lueft, an All-American honorable mention his sophomore year; Bill Smith, Bob Baker, and Dick Tingley and Doug Schumann who did a tremendous job in defensive play. Tom Conroy and Bob Seddon, roommates, and co-captains elect for 1955, were outstanding in both defense and offense. There were many other staunch players vital in the complete works that make up a winning club. Seniors who were important to the squad were Jerry Levitus, Bob Bond, Ed Lithgow, Bob Anderson, and Sam Rowsell. John Barton, Ed Bellanger, Ed Calla- han, Paul Crowe, Bob Freeman, Jack Hasley, Art Serra, and Vic Turner were the Junior players. The Sophomores, not to be outdone, turned out some excellent prospects in Paul Sweeney, Dick Taran, Tom Stammers, Bill Moore, Leon Konieczny, Miller Bugliari, Dave Beaver, Frank Leftwich, Gil Williar, Jim Pollock, and Clay Ricker.

VARSITY BASKETBALL The 1954-55 edition of the Springfield College cagers started the season on a low note as they dropped their first two of the three games before Christmas, but they bounced right back to walk off with consolation honors in the Quantico Tournament in Virginia during the holi- day vacation. With the addition of Ron Clark, 6 ' 9 center transfer from Kentucky, to the squad, the Maroons won their next eight out of ten encounters in the new year. Wins over New Hampshire, Massachusetts, St. Anselm ' s, W.P.I., Wesleyan, A.I.C., Amherst, and Clark gave the Maroons an impressive record going into the home stretch of the season.

The 1954-55 Varsity Swimming team, with two remaining contests, again looms to be the team to beat when it defends its New England title next month. While the won and lost record to date does not appear impressive, the mermen have made a good account of themselves in every meet. The Maroons have been vic- torious over Wesleyan and Trinity while dropping contests to strong Ivy League com- petitors Dartmouth, Harvard and Yale. This year ' s team is led by Co-Captains Bruce Hutchinson and Arthur Semle, who have both made a very creditable showing in their respective events. In the Harvard Coach Silvia contest Semle set a new New England mark in the 200 yard breaststroke event with a time of 2:29.4. Recordwise, Jack Mayers erased his old mark in the 120 yard individ- ual medley to set a new New England rec- ord of 1:09.2. Also instrumental in the team ' s success to date have been Jim Far- rier, New England Champion diver; Art Schonheiter, who has placed well in the dis- tance events; Gene Wilk, Jim Gaffney and Jim Clark, who have contributed in the dashes; John Skrabalak, backstroke; Jack Welch, breaststroke, and Ed Belanger, breaststroke. ngfleld 36 Dartmouth Opponents 48 46 Trinity 36 28 Yale 56 59 Wesleyan 25 33 Harvard 51 39 Williams 45 55 Brown 29 45 Connecticut 39 New England Champions Co-Capt.

Springfield has gained respect and renown, and in all probability will dominate things again this year in New England wrestling circles. Four titleholders led the 1954-55 Maroons. Co-Captains Don Stubblebine at 130 lbs., and John Mulligan at 147 lbs., defended their titles for the third consecutive time as the championships took place at Tufts University. Joe Alissi at 137 lbs., and Bill Bock at 167 lbs. made their second title defense. Alissi will return next year. Stubblebine, Mulligan, and Bock are seniors. In an effort to capture their fifth consecutive champion- ship, the above quartet looked to and received great and timely help from others in this team endeavor. Ed Amerantes at 123 lbs., and winner of the Frosh championships a year ago, did as well as was hoped at the onset of the campaign. George Harunkiewicz, a senior, more than proved his worth in the 157 lbs. division. Hal Soobitsky and John Manly at 177 lbs. and Len Rivers at heavyweight completed this five team. Big Len Rivers sparked the squad with important clutch vic- tories throughout the season. In the words of Coach Sparks, This team is the best I ' ve ever had! The Maroons traveled to Cornell University in an effort to make good in big time national competition. 134 Springfield Opponents 14 Yale 12 21 Amherst 6 20 West Point 13 21 Williams 4 13 Wesleyan 7 19 Coast Guard 4 19 F. and M. 8 9 Brown 15 12 Hofstra 12 16 Harvard 15 I Co-Capt.

VilimTY BASEBALL Coach Archie Allen ' s varsity baseball team again proved that hustle, determination, and spirit go a long way as they compiled a commendable record. In addition to being rated as one of the top col- legiate baseball teams in New England, the squad posted the best won and lost record with a 16-3 showing. After a successful pre-season excursion to the south, the locals returned home and began posting successive victories until a New Hampshire nine waded five runs across in the ninth inning on a rainy Saturday afternoon. This halted a record of seven straight. However, the hickory and horsehide boys went on to post more impressive and decisive wins. One of these was a seventeen inning 5-2 win over Rhode Island. The Maroon mound ace, Jack Sanford, rubber-armed his way the entire marathon. The highlight game of the year and probably the most exciting, was the never-say-die rally the Maroons put on to overcome a 5-1 seventh inning deficit to a mythical New England champion. Holy Cross. The Crusaders, playing in their own back yard, were in quest of their twelfth straight win, but Bill Foote ' s two out, two run single in the ninth sent the Worcester club down to their first defeat. The team ' s quest for New England honors and a trip to Omaha for the second time in four years fell short as a scrappy University of Massachusetts nine capitalized on some costly miscues for a 9-7 ten inning win in the area playoffs. 137 Coach Archie Allen I w % , , Co-Capt.

Wesleyan and Rhode Island both handily defeated the local tracksters with New Hampshire following suit by a much narrower margin. In the next two dual meets, the Juddmen finally found their stride and overwhelmed Bow- doin and University of Connecticut by respective scores of 62 and 51 points. At the Easterns, in Boston, the locals managed a second place in competition with 10 teams behind a very power- ful Boston University team. Curt Guild rounded the day out with a shot put of 48 ft. 1% in. for a new school record and a discus throw of 151 ft. 1 1 ' A in. for a school record as well as a new Eastern meet record. The season climax came when once again the track men journeyed to Boston and in competition with 18 teams managed an outstanding second, this time only 8 V 2 points behind the Boston University aggregation. Guild set a school record in the hammer with a throw of 178 ft. 514 in. and Ralph Muzzey high jumped to a school record height of 6 ft. 4 in. Norm Anderson along with Muzzey and Guild were the only senior lettermen. Rog Rickard, Jim Farrier, Jim Gran- berry, Bill Eaton, Clayt Bywaters, and Cam Greene will return as lettermen this year, while Laurie Smith, Bob Falvo, Paul Crowe, and several members of last year ' s outstand- ing Freshman team should round out the makings of a fine 1955 team.

Coach Ted Kidess ' Varsity Tennis Team wound up the 1954 sea- son with a record of two wins and four losses. The netmen scored victories over R.P.I. and Trinity, while suffering reversals at the hands of such powerhouses as Harvard, Williams, U. Mass., and Wesleyan. The Maroon racquetmen were led by Co-Captains Ed Newton and Jack Viele, with John Hopkins, Irv Wilkinson, Hal Greig, Gil Anderson, and Mai Early alternating in the 3, 4, 5, 6 positions. Singles play found only one member of the team finishing with a better than average slate. Hal Greig topped the team with a 4-2 record. Ed Newton and John Hop- kins followed with 3-3 records. The Hopkins-Newton combination proved the most effective in doubles play as they captured four wins as against two losses. The season started off rather slowly due to incle- ment weather and the caliber of the opposition. The squad dropped their first match to powerful Harvard 9-0. They then lost a squeaker to U. Mass. 5-4, and were completely overpowered by strong Williams 9-0. They finally hit the win column in a home match against R.P.I. 8-1. The following week they pulled a mild upset by turning back tough Trinity 6-3. In the final match of the season, the team lost 6-3 to a very well-balanced Wesleyan squad. The matches against Holy Cross and Brown were not played due to poor weather conditions. Coach Kidess attributes the weakness of last Spring ' s record to the fact that there is no Freshman Tennis Team, which in the past has served as a res- ervoir of potential Varsity material. Despite this fac- tor and an incessant rainy spell during preliminary practice weeks, the Maroon netmen turned in some excellent tennis. The Kidessmen will be without the services of Co- Captains Newton and Viele, and lettermen Anderson and Hopkins this spring, but will depend heavily upon such returning men as Wilkinson ' 56, Greig ' 56, Earl y ' 56, McCord ' 56, and Summers ' 56. 1st row Left to right: Loren Anderson, Ed Newton, Jack 2nd row: Gil Anderson, Mai Early, Hal Greig, Coach Kidess, Viele, John Hopkins.

Under the able and inspiring leadership of Chick Cowell, the team reported for daily practice at Afleck- Brock Field. Taking time out from their workouts, the team participated in the spirit of all college Work Day by completely resurfacing the diamond and erecting a new back stop. Many varsity prospects were uncovered throughout the course of the season who may add to this year ' s varsity rooster. Playing such teams as Cheshire, Wilbra- ham, Westfield, Chicopee, and Western Massachusetts School of Pharmacy, the team gained valuable experi- ence. Outstanding in the pitching department were Whit Powers, Ron Ross, and Ed Bilek. Other standouts in- cluded Ron Miller, Bernie Cropsey, Paul Jordan and George Harunkiewicz. Coach Vern Cox J.V.

Twenty-five were picked from a turnout of sixty-five candidates. Placing these men in their proper positions seemed like a monstrous task. The over-abundance of pitchers posed quite a problem. Richmond Baker, an ex-varsity pitcher who assisted Coach Ed Steitz, proved to be a valuable assistant throughout the season. Six different pitchers drew starting assignments, thus enabl- ing them to gain experience for possible varsity births. Of the many fine players, those who will be pressing the varsity the most for births are: Wayne Wilson, Ed Bilik, Spike Stamatopulos, and Dave Martens. Bill Ed- wards also assisted Coach Ed Steitz and, along with Bugs Bugliam, took care of the managerial chores. oe °rge Benedict P„ TL Ed B. ifc, Tom ' ao ' Thomas.

Under the leadership of Coach Charlie Butt, the team compiled an impressive record of four wins and one loss. A well-balanced team of players accounted for the team ' s success. Danny Sullivan and Joe Lewandowski were co-captains and along with Bob Carroll filled the halfback positions. Don Perkins and Joe Ford were the fullbacks and as indicated by the scores did a good job of keeping the ball out of their territory. Providing the scoring punch on the forward line were Jack Lowe; Najim Jabber; Henry Clay; Dick Hungerford; and high scorer for the season, George Murphy. On the goal line was tall, lanky, Ray Jacobson. Backing up the starters were such capable reservists as Lanny Saidack, Fritz Weidergott, Warren Swanson, Don Cook, Pete Cohan and others. Spirit and cooperation by all members made the sea- son a success. Coach K el1 FRESHMAN FOOTBALL A group of 60 hopeful young Freshman football play- ers were greeted by Coaches Archie Allen and Ray Sparks to start training for the tough five game slate which lay ahead of them. University of Massachusetts, University of Connecticut, Phillips Andover Academy, University of Rhode Island, and Trinity College were all met during the season. With very little practice, the yearlings entered the Massachusetts game and were defeated by a score of 20-0. The following week the University of Connecticut Frosh handed the young Maroons their second defeat, 20 - 0 . With Phillips Academy out for revenge after their de- feat last year by the Maroons, they edged the Alien- men by a 12-6 score. Already with three losses, the Frosh upset the Rhody Rams 6-0 on a short pass to Jerry Delong in the second period. Trinity College won a squeaker 20-19 in the final game of the season. Jim Potter and Bill MacNeill were the outstanding backs of the day for the Maroons. Co-Captains Dick Shields and Dick MacPherson, Barry Reister, Jim Potter, and Bill MacNeill were the Maroon stalwarts and should prove very valuable to the varsity next year.

Under the lead- ership of honorary Co-Captains Roger Fulton and Dick MacDonald, the Yearlings trained hard and showed great improvement for the New Englands. The superior competition, however, forced the squad to settle for twelfth place out of twenty-eight of the leading col- leges and universities in New England. One of the largest squads in Springfield history con- sisted of Roger Fulton, Dick MacDonald, Beep Carter, Ron Bazil, Ray Sliter, Ducky Mead, Gordon McCul- lough, Don Hinkle, Clark Allen, Morris Grant, Dewey McGowen, Skip Graham, and Jim White. The enthusiasm and desire to improve displayed by this squad should serve as an example for those to fol- low. They exemplified the true Springfield spirit by practicing regularly day after day, week after week, without a victory simply for the joy of competing and running. °no c VV hite G °rd 0l ' U°ZXd IO - U3h - Carter Don FRESHMAN BASKETBALL This year ' s Freshman basketball team under the lead- ership of Coach Archie Allen completed their ten game schedule with a very impressive 7-3 record. Tufts, Wesleyan, and Holy Cross handed the Frosh their only defeats while Amherst, W.P.I., Clark, Provi- dence, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts fell before the hands of the powerful Allenmen. Ray Jacobson from Millbury, Massachusetts, and Dan Sullivan from Suffield, Connecticut were the big scorers for the Yearlfngs. Jacobson used his height to good advantage in the bucket while Sullivan sparked the team with his ability to drive and his defensive ability. Manny Marshall, Tom Karanda, and Don Garvey were the other three starters who formed the nucleus of the squad. A strong bench proved to be the difference in several games. Wes Aldrich, Frank Palumbo, Hugh Mendez, Dave Rand, Dave Crook, and Gordon McCullough proved themselves many times during the season when called upon. 143 t FRESHMAN SWIMMING Won 1 Lost 3 FRESHMAN WRESTLING Won 0 Lost 3 Graham. Stafford Morse • u� Roaer wrai ' ut 2nd row: Schmidt- FRESHMAN SWIMMING From mid-November to mid-March the Frosh swim- mers were kept busy by Charlie Butt, Coach. With meets against such teams as Williston Academy, Dart- mouth, Yale, Wesleyan, Brown, Connecticut, and neigh- boring Y ' s and high schools, the Buttmen had a busy season. While not winning all the meets, the Buttmen did ab- sorb that necessary item for all future champions — ex- perience. For many, swimming was an entirely new sport, and for those who had had swimming in high school it was quite a challenge. Such swimmers as Dick MacDonald, new Frosh 120-yard Individual Medley record holder; Len Schmidt, Jim Fraser, John Stuart, and Roger Graham, a diver; have shown enough improve- ment upon their natural ability to assist the varsity next year. In wholehearted fun and friendship, the fifteen mem- bers of the Frosh team are happily indebted to Charlie Butt for his fine spirit and coaching. Siidhom, Harold Miller. Dick MacDonald, len Stewart, Don SollWan FRESHMAN WRESTLING Coach Ted Dunn started out the 1955 freshman wrestling season with only one experienced wrestler around which to build a squad to represent the college in New England competition. The team has yet to win a meet, but in their last outing against undefeated Brown Freshman they lost by a narrow margin of 19 to 15, which was not decided until the last match of the day. The team showed surprising improvement over previous encounters. The most promising member of the team seems to be Victor Lewin, a Long Island high school wrestler, but the other boys on the team that will very likely help Coach Sparks in next year ' s team include: Ron Smith, Ron Basil, Angus Reynolds, Mike Morelli, Jack Horrison, Bill Mac- Neill, Bob Whatley, and several others. The team will not be the favorites to win the New England tournament at Tufts, but it could very easily pull an upset and come out on top thanks to the fine coaching of Head Coach Ted Dunn, and Assistant Coach Eric Beardsley along with the spirit and aggres- siveness of the team, they may more than make up for what they lack in experience.
