Under the Reverend Reed ' s leadership, the Spring- lield School lor Christian Workers was founded in 1885. Jacob T. Bowne, secretary of the International Committee of the Young Men’s Christian Association, was called to take charge of the department for training Association officers. This was the pioneer attempt to train secretaries lor the oung Men’s Christian Association in a professional school. In 1887, a department for physical training was established under Dr. Luther Halsy Guliek. This was also a jiioneer enterprise. Through the years, hundreds of trained physical directors and teachers have gone out into social and educational institutions. The YMCA training enterprise was separately incorporated in 1890 as the International Young Men’s Christian Association Training School. In 190.5, the school was authorized hy the Commonwealth of Massachus- etts to confer the degrees of Bachelor and Master of Humanies and Bache- lor and Master of Physical Education. The school was reehartered as a fully accredited four-year college in 1912 under the title of International oung Men’s Christian Association College. In 1926, the college was authorized to grant the degrees of Bachelor of Science and Master of Education. The granting of the degrees of Mas- ter of Science and Doctor of Physical Education, along with honorary doctor’s degrees, was authorized in 19.50 hy the Board of Collegiate Au- thority. Ou June 10, 19.54. the Board in Boston authorized the change of the corporate title to Springfield College. Jliroughout all of this, Springfield College has gained nationwide and internatif)nal distinction because of its pioneering work in profes- sional training foi the YMCA and lor health and ])hysical education. Basketball, now the world’s most popular indoor sport, was invented here in 1891 hy James Naismith. Amid all the changes since its early days — growth in faculty and tinhmt body, expansion of curriculum, addition of a women’s j)rogram, and acapiisition of new buildings — the College is seeking to retain the basic [Hirposes and tiaditions which hav(“ made it distinctive. Page 6 The 1956 MASSASOIT is dedicated to Mr. and Mrs. Edward J. Hickox who have given so much of tlieniselves to Springfield College. The present student body join with the thousands of alumni in expressing apj)reciation.

Where the Massasoit flows. “Show me the Gypsy who doesnt love to wander; Show me the sailor who doesnt love to roam; Shoiv me the true-hearted son of old Springfield Who doesnt love to sing (!!!) Of his Massasoit home. “Tell all the Dutchmen ivho hail from o ' er the ocean ; Tell all the Irishmen ivho kiss the Blarney Stone; Tell them that true-hearted sons of old Springfield W ill always jiraise the sjiot ( !!! ) Where the Massasoit is known. TRUSTEES I he trustees are an esseiitial part of the founda- tion of Springfield College. They are esi)ecially important during this period of college development.

Freshman Week began and we found in our pos- session heaines. handbooks, and traditions. Thus we were introduced to this new life-the life of a Freshman. ovemher found our Freshman Class on the frozen hanks of Lake Massasoit, grasping the rope which symbolized the rivalry between the Freshman and Sophomore classes. The high light of Freshmen Activity was the “Silver-Sno s -Ball ’ dance held in the latter part of January.

SOPHOMORE CLASS After recuperating from Freshman Camp, we ai rived hack on campus full of t;nthusiasm to carry on the traditions of Springfield College with the Irarlitions Committee under the leadership of Will- iam MacNeil. d he most important undertaking of the year was the Winter Homecoming Dance. “Winter Whirl”. Lnder the capable direction of Barbara Bennett and Morris A. Grant, co-chairmen, the dance proved to be a trememious success.

The Yearbook and the Jun- ior Prom required many long hours of work. Many dances were sponsored in order to raise money to support the Prom. Co-operation on the part of all the members of the class made the undertakings a succ( ' ss. One of the things of which the class c an be proud was record attendance at class meetings. Members of the class held responsible positions in most of the organizations on campus. Although the rivalry between the class of ’.57 and ,5 ‘! ceased, the Juniors acted as advisors to the freshmen, hven though the Jutdors were standing on tin; sidelines during the Relays and Ro|)e Pull, their spirit was still evident. Ihc curriculum becaitie more specializ(‘d. Juniors had rnor(; ojjportunities to select electives and to locus their attention on proh ssional subjects. Manv had time to gain actual ex|jerience in their future profession. As tin- final ear of college approaches, the Jiitdor (dass looks forward to re|)iesenting .Springfield f.ollege in the best possible; manner.

In the fall of l‘A52 we (ame eager to carrv on the proud name of Spritigfield College. Since then we have learned and accomplished many things. The first thitig we learned was that it was practi- calK an im|)ossihilil v for a freshmen team to emerge victorious in a rope-|)ull; we were suh- merged after a ({iiick hut furious hallle. I hat was tlic last time we were foiced to cross lh lake for as sophomores we made short work of the (.lass of .”)7 ; Also as sophomores we sponsored a winte dance. “Memories.

Page 87 Prol)al)l iio sport is as misunderstood as is wrestling in New England. The televised profes- sional bouts have led to a great deal (rf misguided thinking and confusion as to what amateur wrest- ling actually is. It is natural for misinformed pa- ents and educators to recoil at the idea of ever including in school curriculum such ‘’organized brutality.’ This sorrv state of affairs led to the organization of the Grapplers (dub in lb.51. The members real- ized that amateur wrestling needed help if it were ever to achieve its proper status in New England. The club began to j)ut on shows in Springfield and the surrounding communities which helped to clarify the differences between amateur and the televised professional wrestling. Membership in the club is not restricted to the wrestling team hut is open to anyone with an interest in wrestling. GRAPPLERS CLUR First row — left to Getchell.

I ' his year the group, under Coach Raymond Sparks and graduate assist- ant, Sydney Hall, has had a program of sports throughout the three terms. In the fall, it was cross- country, football, and soccer. Winter term was devoted to basketball, handball, and volleyball. In the Spring term, softball was enjoyed as well as an all class track meet. Through the work of the Council, finer pro- grams have been set up which definitely created keen interest as well as competition between classes.

IF S I he 19o5-56 ear has been a year of reorganiza- tion anrl reconstriietion for radio station WSKB. The location of the station was moved to the rear of Woods Hall and many technical difficulties were to be overcome before operation could commence. Like many other cam|)us radio stations in this area, WSRB was effected by the Federal Communication Commission ruling forcing all the stations to limit their power to the campus oidy. ddiis provided many problems which took most of the year to iron out. However, as a result of this year’s rehahilititation, WSRB will he able to ojjerate in the years to come without fear of violating Federal regulations. The station ' s purpose is to provide the students ati opj)ortunity to take part in any phase of radio in which they may he interested, and to jjrovide its listeners with good music, campus and national nev s. and campus sports broadcasts. Flans are in the making for new studios for WSRB in the new Student Ihiion building when that structure is completed. n B P ' lqe I I 1 GLEE CLUB WHITE KEY 1 12 AUDIO-VISUAL First row, left to right: Al Newton, ' 57, Fred Carter, ' 58, Clarir Allen, ' 58.

VARSITY TRACK TEAM In Verne Cox ' ? inaugural year as varsity coach. 1955, the Maroon and White finished off a highly successful season with a record of five wins and two losses. The tracksters. co-captained by .lim Cranberry and Roger Rickard, compiled their rec- ord in dual meets and also placed second in both the Eastern Intercollegiates and the New Eng- lands. At Amherst, in the opening meet, an underdog Springfield took the measure of a tough Amherst team. On the following weekend, the Maroons went down before a powerful Wesleyan team. In the next meet it was the sprint men and the javelin event men who motivated Springfield to win over the I niversity of New Hampshire. Winner of both dashes was Cla ton Bywaters, who proved a con- sistent witiner all season. The next meet for the M aroon men was comparable to the Wesleyan meet. It was a rase of too much strength on the part of the University of Rhode Island, who handed us our second defeat of the season. The most exciting meet followed a week later with a surprise win over a |)owerful Northeastern team. This ictory was made jrossihle otdy through f.fjrnplete sweep of the javelin event and a first and thirfi in the broad jump. The la.st two dual meets were won by a cf m- parahle easy margin over their opponents. Eol- lowing the dual nu ' et competition, the Maroon and White traveled to Boston where they came home with a second place in the Eastern Intercollegiates. First place winners in this meet were Andy Thoinpr- son in the j)ole vault, and Bill Eaton in the javelin. In the concluding meet of the year, Springfield took se(-ond place in the New Englands held at Bates College in Maine. Next year, led by Co-Caj) tains-elect Laurie Smith atul Paul Crowe, the Maroons should fare as well. The several promising freshmen and transfer stu- dents with the returning lettermen should prove to lea l to another excellent season.

This year’s Freshman Basketball team, under the guidance of Coach Archie Allen, compiletf a very creditable 6-4 record against the best New England Frosh competition. The Allenmen took their first two games from Dean Academy and the University of Massachusetts. It was in the latter game that they compiled the season’s high score with 8.5 points. They then pro- ceeded to drop the next four consecutive games to Providence College, Lniversity of Massachusetts. .A.I.C., and Amherst. They ended up the season with a bang, however, as they took the last four remaining games. They won over Northeastern. Tufts, Providence, and University of Rhode Island. Starters on the Frosh squad were. Bill Sullivan. Bob Long, Steve Holmes, Marty Pierce, and Al Byrne. The equally strong bench made up of Bob Karpp, Bill Lawson, bid Hartigan, Ron Abbott, “Gook” Slottji, and Ken Engstrom, proved to be the deciding factor in several tight ballgames.

The squad consisted of eighteen members, many of whom should jjrovide the varsity with talent in the future years. Flubacher and Marshman were chosen co- caj)tains of the team.

The Ruttmen competed against some of the finest competition in New Fngland and still compiled a fine overall record. riie first three meets of the season found Spring- field taking it on the chin from Dartmouth, Wes- leyan and the perennial power, Yale. Against Mount Herman the frosh racked up their first win 54 to 2.5. The last two meets of the season again found the team defeating the University of Connecticut and Philips Exeter. This year the team was led by Co-Captains Jim Owen and Ton IMcNamarra. Other outstanding swim- mers were Jim Espey, Joe Giambra, Bob Karp, and Art Jenkins.

Despite the overall inexperience of the team, the record shows only two defeats, and a number of the boys will be pressing the varsity for posi- tions this year. This team was hv no means one of individual stars, and at one time or another different players came through with the clutch hit or crucial stop. Mention should be made of Ray Jacobson’s no hit, no run gave over Williams, Pete Murphy’s and Pete Saxton’s consistent hitting, and the smooth second base combination of Rollie Pearson and Larry Cuoco, but without the fine teamwork the season would not have been the success it was.
