To him, in grateful appreciation, we dedicate the 1957 MASSASOIT. HISTORY In 1885, under the leadership of a Congregational minister, the Springfield School for Christian Workers was founded. The Congregational minister, David Allen Reed, organized a school which would supplement the theological seminaries by training laymen for Christian work in churches, YMCA ' s, and other community agencies. Jacob T. Bowne, secretary of the International Committee of the Young Men ' s Christian Association, was named to head the department for training Association officers. Dr. Luther Halsey Gulick was named to head the newly-formed department for physical training in 1887. The appointment of Dr. Gulick was the beginning of the emergence of Springfield College as an in- stitution specializing m the training of physical educators. The physical education areas of the new school were developed very slowly, however, for the insti- tution retained as its main ob|ect the training of YMCA officials. In 1890 the school was incorporated as the International Young Men ' s Christian Association Training School — usually shortened to Training School. In 1905 the school was authorized by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to confer upon its gradu- ates the degrees of Bachelor and Master of Humanics and Bachelor and Master of Physical Education The year 1912 saw the emergence of the institution as a fully accredited four-year college under the title of International Young Men ' s Christian Association College. The right to grant the degrees of Bachelor of Science and Master of Education was conferred m 1926. In 1950 the granting of the degrees of Master of Science and Doctor of Physical Education was au- thorized by the Board of Collegiate Authority. In 1954 the name of the school was officially changed to Springfield College. The school, as a physical plant, began its existence in the Hope Church chapel where classes were held during construction of the college ' s first permanent building on Winchester Square. Soon after its organization the school was split into two factions to preserve the allegiance of the YMCA ' . In 1894, four years after the split, the School for Christian Workers changed its name to Bible Normal College and eventually moved to Hartford where it united with the Hartford Theological Seminary. In 1896 the International YMCA Training School made the long awaited move from Winchester Square to its present site on the shores of Lake Massasoit. The first building completed on the new site was the East-West Gymnasium. The construction of a dormitory (now the Administiation Building) was the sec- ond project and the one which completed the shift from Winchester Square. Many difficulties had to be overcome in the change of campus. A slaughterhouse was located where the Student Union now stands. Woods Hall is situated on the site of the old city dump. A dilapidated barn stood where Alumni Hall is now located Three unpointed and crumbling ice houses added to the overall beauty of the campus. Since the turn of the century Springfield College has progressed rapidly However, any discussion of the school s history must include a consideration of the future for there wll always be room in the world for the principles and ideals taught by the college. 6 CAMPUS VIEWS MARSH MEMORIAL LIBRARY CAFE-WOODS HALL ALUMNI HALL PRESIDENT S MESSAGE To the Class of 1 957: Can it really be four years since you and I, freshmen, together, began our adventure at Springfield College? And what we learned in these four crowded years? One thing stands out in my mind. It is that it is man ' s highest privilege to serve his God and his fellow men. Springfield College offers few luxuries. But it does offer warm friendship, a spirit of serv- ice, and the ideal of human brotherhood. You came to the campus in a welter of beanies and handbooks. Your performance in these four years has shown that you possess this quality which is Springfield. Members of the Class of 1957 have given splendid leadership to every kind of activity, from Student Council to Cheer- leaders. Tribal unity among the Hosaga Indians has led even to the altar. As a class you have demonstrated abundant talent — even produced an Olympic athlete. You have been close witnesses of the spiritual fortitude that can spring from personal tra- gedy. Can any of us forget Todd Duncan? During these four years the face of the campus has changed. It will change much more in the years ahead. But the spirit of Springfield is changeless. Yours is the challenge now, as of classes before you, to keep the faith. My warmest wishes go with you. Do«u M C. Sfotuft MR. WILLIAM H.

This year ' s senior class might well be termed the President Donald C. Stone Class for they began their tenure at Springfield College at the same time as the school ' s chief executive. The class ' s chief func- tion was the sponsorship of the Fall Homecoming Dance. With the impending graduation the class members will join thousands of other Springfield grad- uates in serving youth through schools, institutions, and agencies. CLASS OF 1958 Left to Right — Nancy Coulter (Secretory), Archie Allen (Advisor), Vic Lewin (Presi- dent), Dick MacPherson (Vice-President), Wiedergott (Treasurer). Vv ' ithout a doubt the busiest of all college classes are Juniors. To them falls the task of publishing the col- lege yearbook and the most spectacular of all col- lege dances, the annual Junior Prom. Almost every class member is involved in one of these two projects. In addition to these enterprises the class also spon- sored or contributed to many of the minor campus activities. CLASS OF 1959 1 Enforcement of freshman traditions and sponsorship of the Winter Homecoming Dance were the main tasks which beset the Class of 1959. Through the organization of the Traditions Board it was the duty of this class to orient the incoming freshmen and make them feel a part of the Springfield community. Winter Homecoming, second only to the Junior Prom in order of campus social events, was the season ' s biggest undertaking. inT Left to Right— Ted Leth-Steenson (Treas- urer), Dave Berger (President), Robert Fal- lon (Vice-President). Three-hundred and thirty-six freshmen entered the portals of Springfield College last September. Their first task v as the selection of temporary officers. From this group of officials arose the planning of the year ' s events and the scheduling of the election for permanent officers. The Freshman Dance was the big social event of the year for the Class of 1960. CLASS OF 1960 ciy-iuuf : iuuenrs represenn states, Canada, and eight foreign lands com- prise the graduate class of 1957. These post-college scholars are working towards one of three degrees: Master of Science, Master of Education, or Master of Physical Education. Class activities are planned by the officers and the class council. This coun- cil is composed of representatives from each ma|or. Activities included one social event each term. Chairman, Jack VanVIiet Program Director, Irving Golden Secretary-Treasurer, Florence Pearson GRADUATE CLASS Camera Shy Social Chairman Irv Golden Quiet Evening One of the most active classes on the Springfield campus dur- ing the 1956-57 social season was the graduate class. Most of the grads find themselves In a new and unique situation for, in the majority of instances, they spend only one year on the Springfield campus. For this reason they carry on a complete and separate social calendar. The surrounding photographs illustrate the typical grad get-together. Social chairman of the class was Irv Golden and the class president was Jack Van Vliet. STUDENT COUNCIL During the Spring Term the student body of Springfield College stepped forth to cast their ballots for the Student Council officers and representatives of the Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior classes. This is the student elected group which serves as the voice of the student body in the capacity of a student government. Weekly meetings were held at which time any problems or situations which would benefit a student were voiced and discussed. Various committees were appointed by the Council to rep- resent the entire student body in its relation to the administration and faculty. Through these committees, numerous college ideals were molded into actuality. A knowledge of organization, interpretation, and investiga- tion, which is a valuable contribution to Springfield College, as well as the area in which the student will later serve, was ample reward for the services rendered.

The council is made up of the dorm officers and repre- sentatives from each wing. Each term finds newly elected rep- resentatives serving on the Council. Co-operating with the dormitory counselors and the admin- istration, the council acts as an intermediary for all the residents in the dorm. Interesting and varied social activities are also a main con- cern of the council. These programs are planned by interested girls and require many hours of preparation. A newly revised honor system, under the supervision of an elected Judiciary Board, helps in creating a true spirit of harmony among the girls in Abbey Hall. Standing: Mary Alberico, Minnie Baillie, Eleanor Beier- mann, Nancy Coulter, Joan Salvia, Virginia Bernard. Sitting; Roberta Ford; Mrs. Douglas, Director of Resi- dence; Rose Levonian, Head Counselor; Ann Woessner, Assistant Resident Director; Barbara Underhill. ABBEY HALL COUNSELORS In order to help the students at any time with any and all problems which arise in group living, the dormitory has eight counselors and a head counselor who are representatives of good will and the Springfield way of life. The eight girls and the head counselor who serve as an interpreter of administra- tion policies and as the coordinating link between the students, Director of Residence, and Dean of Women, are chosen by the administration. The counselors are chosen on the basis of all- around qualifications which include personality, academic standing, extra-curricular activities, and general interest in and contribution to the college program. Behind the glamour and visible advantages of counseling, much service and work is given to the residents and the college while much growth, many satisfactions and friendships are gained for the counselor.

The officers are elected each year by the whole dormitory and the representatives are elected by their wings to serve on the council. Meetings are held periodically by the council, at which time they act on suggestions made by the residents, plan, organize, and carry on social functions. The council uses its position to develop a homelike atmo- sphere for the student in his home away from home. 82 Standing; Frank Palumbo, Victor Lewin, Mike Charles Feid.

The counselors job is to aid students in living a harmonious life within the dormitory. Their friendliness and cooperation serve as a model for ideal dormitory living. They provide a feeling of unity within a large structure and conduct well-organized dormitory activities. The eleven counselors function under the leadership of Mr. Emile Schmidt, faculty resident, and Herbert Claflin, head counselor. They are constantly working for friendly relations and mutual confidence between members of the dorm. ALUMNI HALL COUNSELORS A- 83 Gamma Eta chapter of Alpha Phi Omega, a national service fraternity, has been one of the most active clubs on the campus. A.P.O. enlists new members; men who are now or were con- nected with the scouting movement and who are interested in furthering the fraternity ' s program of leadership, fellowship and service. The school, student body, and the community have been served through various service projects sponsored by A.P.O.

One of the college ' s winter term highlights is the Annual Water Carnival sponsored by the Aquatic Club. In addition to this, the club sponsors such open events as an annual dance, speakers, ' movies on various phases of aquatics, and many guest swimmers of national fame.

BAND Consisting of approximately twenty-five members who all contribute to its success, the band is an extra-curricular activity which provides a valuable experience to its members. Despite the relatively small organization in comparison with other schools, the Springfield College band, with its spirited and peppy marching cadence, and its precision marching forma- tions, literally steals the show from larger bands. The band provides the half-time entertainment at all home football games. This year they traveled to Brandeis and were well received. They also provide music at all home basketball games, and at various convocations during the year. To highlight a successful year, the band presents a Spring Concert. The members of the band owe their success and accomplish- ments to Mr. Gil Vickers, director.

The purpose of the organization is to inform the members of any and all campus activities and to provide the off-campus woman with an opportunity to air her problems. The club is rep- resented on both the Abbey Hall Dorm Council, and Social Committee. President Secretary Dorm Council Rep. Social Committee ...Patricia Brown Patricia Harlowe ..Patricia Newell ..Nelma Carlson Showing the true spirit of Springfield College, the Cosmo- politan Club was started many years ago with the purpose of linking American and foreign students together in a bond of com- mon friendship. By working and talking together, the members, both foreign and American, get to know the ways of living and thinking of each other and of their customs. The Cosmopolitan Club includes about an equal number of American and Foreign students, who enjoy a highly democratic program of activities. The wishes of all its members find expres- sion in a varied plan of dances, meetings, parties, and recrea- tional events. This display of good fellowship goes far towards building a better and united world. Thus the lives of the members are enriched by these experi- ences, and there is formed a true fellowship, both on and off the campus. Sitting, left to right: Rajanna, S. K.

DRAMATIC CLUB During the past school year the Dramatic Club has not only grown in membership but in enthusiasm as well. The major part of this has been the professional leadership of its Director, Mr. Emile O. Schmidt. Through the club, members have had a chance to gain first hand experience at stage management, the con- structing and decorating of scenery, make-up, and other valuable theatrical techniques. Outstanding productions have been Death of a Salesman and Stalag 17, both of which drew standing audiences and brought the Dramatic Club out of obscurity. Other productions have been The Killers, adapted for stage by Mr. Schmidt, and Curse You Jack Daulton, both of which were presented at Fresh- man Convocation. Addition of a new stage, curtains and backdrops, lights, and lighting system, and the continual addition of new talent is proof of the increased interest and recognized form of art which the Dramatic Club helps out to the students at Springfield.

Springfield College ' s Women ' s Drill Team is celebrating its fourth birthday during the present season of ' 56- ' 57. It has expanded from sixteen members to twenty-eight members plus four substitutes. The drill team is guided by the competent and capable Mrs. Dianne Babbitt, who spends much of her time work- ing with the girls. The high-steppers provide entertainment at half-time of football and basketball games with precision drills. Music is provided by the Springfield College Marching Band and record- ings. The routines are original as they are composed by various members of the group. Tryouts are held in the spring, and members are from the three upper classes. Each girl is selected on her marching ability, response to music, posture, and general appearance. The team travels to at least one away game during each season. This gives the girls an opportunity to represent Spring- field College and realize the high honor each girl holds in belonging to this fine group. 92 DRILL TEAM 4 3 4 First row, left to right: John Messanger; Tim Gor- ton; Richard Stable; Dan Smith; Ralph Aussiker; Jim Burke; Mr. Vickers; Peter Cohan; Tom Johnson; Owen Houghton; Fred Rader; Tom Swartz; Fred Mou ld.

GLEE CLUB Musical experience and a cultural and artistic atmosphere is pro- vided for the students through the Glee Club. The Glee Club serves as a public relations body for the college through its concerts in the Springfield area and appearances in surrounding communities. This year ' s program will be highlighted by engagements at a music festi- val in Burlington, Vermont, Junior Prom weekend and the Annual Longmeadow Concert. The Scotchmen are selected from the membership of the Glee Club. This group seeks to add a lighter and more harmonious aspect to the Glee Club through its music. This year an opportunity for combining and women’s voices is offered through the Springfield College Singers. BONNIE LASSIES This fall, the Women ' s Choral group became a campus organization, and took as its name, The Bonnie Lassies. This group began in 1955 with several girls who sang together infor- mally for their own enjoyment, but has progressed and grown in the past two years into an organization of thirty-eight members who entertain at numerous campus functions. The purpose of The Bonnie Lassies is to provide an opportunity for women students who enjoy singing to do so, and to provide entertain- ment and stimulate interest in music throughout our campus. The club is open to all women students who audition and meet the requirements specified by the club constitution. This organization of fine appearing young women, is look- ing forward to superior performances and enjoyment in future years.

GRAPPLER’S CLUB As now put forth, the purpose of the Grapplers ' Club is to promote interest in the sport of wrestling in its recreational and competitional phases both in the college and surrounding territory. Starting around the first week of December and continuing through the winter term, the Grapplers ' Club presents an average of one exhibition per week. These exhibitions are presented before Church Groups, P.T.A. ' s, Men ' s Clubs, and other civic organizations in the Springfield area. The exhibitions run approximately 45 minutes and include an explanation of collegiate wrestling with respect to meet scoring, match scoring, weight classes, and the objective of the match, and the values of the collegiate type of wrestling.

This year the Springfield College coed gymnasts organized their routines during the fall term. Winter term found the club members attending regular practices, preparing for their sched- ule of performances which was climaxed by a home show during the latter part of the term. The program of the club consisted of routines using Indian clubs, wands, skipping ropes, Swedish balls, hoops, a novelty tap dance, free hand exercises, tumbling, and apparatus work. The additions of Joan Salvia as Master of Ceremonies and Edna Allen as pianist, greatly contributed to the club. Co-Captains . Joyce McLain Barbara Jacobs Manager .

Some years ago a group of students, guided by the insight of one faculty member, inaugurated an extra-curricular activity on our campus dedicated to the perpetuation of a minority culture. Calling themselves the Hosaga Indians, these students travel the extent of our eastern seaboard aquainting audiences with American Indian Lore. Through stories, crafts and the color- ful choreography of dance, the Hosaga Tribe hopes to portray the idea that the American Indian v as first a human with human rights, beliefs, needs and feelings; and second, as a last resort, the savage fighting for what was rightfully his.

Committees were formed early in the year with the members working diligently in their preparations. The class voted to have a name band appear and this was arranged. Decorations and favors were centered around the theme, A Starlit Night. The success of the Prom and the other weekend activities was a tribute to the hard work of the various committees and the spirit of the Class of ' 58. Chairman Associate Chairman .

MAROON KEY SOCIETY Since its inception as an active campus organization in 1 930, the Maroon Key Society has made service a foremost objective; visiting teams and various visiting groups have been made to “feel at Home with every effort to render their visits as friendly as possible. Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors may become members. Twenty-one hours of personal service must be achieved to become a member with ten hours necessary each succeeding year to remain an active member. The men of the Maroon Key have rendered both the school and themselves a valuable service in using this opportunity to further train themselves to work for the good of the other fellow. cat 100 V First row, left to right; Joe De Diminicantanio, Don Montle, Mike Achille, Vern Davis, Dick MacPherson.

The only prerequisites are a desire to have fun and a knap- sack full of spirit. The members are all people with a keen inter- est in the out-of-doors, be it anything from mountain climbing, canoeing or skiing, to weekend trips with the Intercollegiate Outing Club Association or our own group off for a trip. Other activities of the club include movies, guest speakers, joint meetings with nearby colleges or maybe just a good old square dance like the traditional Prom Weekend Square Dance that is sponsored by the Outing Club.

PRE-MED CLUB Salk vaccine free to Springfield College students. A first for the Pre-medical organization, and a worthy, successful proj- ect. Through the work of the members of this club the Salk vac- cine was made available to the entire student body and faculty; the project will cover a period of one year so that the complete series of inoculations will be offered to the college body. The history of this club is brief; it was organized in 1956, obtained a charter, wrote a constitution, and began holding meetings. On the average of once a month the club invites a speaker to the meetings. These speakers are from the medical profession and associated professions. The purpose of having several speakers is to provide the pre-medical student with an understanding of the profession he is going to enter, and to present a background of the whole field of medical sciences. 103 PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB Among the oldest groups on the campus, the Photography Club serves the dual function of supplying a pictorial account of school activities while educating its members in the art of photography. The members handle developing and printing equipment, learning by actual experience the technique and craft entailed in successful photograph production. Members of this club can be proud of their work which has helped tell the world about Springfield College through the lens of a camera.

SIGMA THETA PSI I Op .RA-riMfa Room This organization, dedicated to the principles of rehabilita- tion, was founded on our campus during the academic year 1955-1956. The membership is composed of those graduate students that have either enrolled in the Physical Rehabilitation Curriculum or the Vocational Rehabilitation Counseling Curricu- lum. An idea as to why the organization was formed on campus is found in its Constitution. The purpose of the National Hon- orary Society shall be to foster high scholarship, stimulate research and scientific interest, encourage public service, and integrate graduate students from all areas in the field of rehabilitation. As can be seen from the purpose, the group was formed to stress the rehabilitation team and to integrate all phases of rehabilitation. Another reason for the institution of such a group was that there is a need on the graduate level for association with professional people in the field of rehabilitation. It is hoped that the organization will tend to stress the need for rehabilita- tion on a practical level. It is also hoped by this venture that students will get together socially to learn how their services can be applied together. p V William Wiedergott, Richard Peterson, Vern Cox, Advisor, Richard Tingley, George Benedict. Sigma Delta Psi, America ' s only athletic fraternity, has as its purpose the ideal of promoting physical, mental, and moral development of college students. Any member of the Springfield College student body is eligible for membership if he is able to meet the listed standards. At present Springfield College has 1 09 members in the fraternity. This year Springfield again entered the fraternity ' s National Championships, which the school has won several times. The results of the inter-college competition will not be known for several months. This past school year found over 35 students attempting to complete their Sigma Delta Psi entrance.

STUDENT Enjoying complete freedom of the press, the SPRINGFIELD STUDENT is a publication by the students in that it is written and managed by representatives of that group who take a particular interest in journalistic work. It is not faculty supervised, but faculty advised. The SPRINGFIELD STUDENT is a publication for the student body in that the editors try to put into its contents the answers to all the questions students are asking about their College and its activities. The STUDENT offers every student in the school a chance to express himself to his contemporaries. Specifically it provides training in interviewing, writing, art work, photog- raphy, and business to thirty orTorty people each year. The paper which appears on twenty-four Fridays of the school year is at present distributed to the members of the stu- dent body and the Class of 1956. Presently the circulation stands at 1,311. The SPRINGFIELD STUDENT has as its aim to be an informant and helper to the student body of the college. 107 First row, left to right: Robin Rich, Marlene Warner, Janet Mann, Patricia Brown, Edna Allen, Lorena Handy.

STUDENT CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION Regardless of religious faith, the Student Christian Associa- tion welcomes the membership of all students and faculty. It has as its purpose the creation of a fellowship endeavoring to make the Christian Faith more effective in life, on campus, and in the world through worship, study, and action. This year deputation teams under the direction of Jim Curran, ' 58 are being sent to various nearby churches. These teams plan a complete evening service for a program that includes worship, discussion, and recreation. Many a memorable experience is also to be had by those who attend S.C.A. s Fall and Spring retreats at Woolman Hill Camp, Deerfield, Massachu- setts. Or by those who attend one of the several conferences where students may meet with members of many of the New England and Eastern colleges. Another large project of S.C.A. this year is the World Uni- versity Service fund raising drive. Art Olson, ' 59, is directing this drive to raise money for overseas countries. 108 STUDENT UNION COMMITTEE Many student activities on our campus are centered around the Student Union. This temporary Union Building is supported by funds allocated by the Student Council from the revenue derived from Student Activities fees. All students should be familiar with the services and facilities that the Union offers and use them to the fullest extent. The Student Council is responsible for the general operation of the Student Union, working in conjunction with the Student Union Committee. The committee membership consists of stu- dents who have shown their interest in the work of the Union, one Student Council representative and the manager of the Snack Bar. The Student Union Committee carries on the everyday operation of the Union and makes recommendations to the Student Council regarding major changes in policy or major expenditures.

While the society ' s main purpose is that of service, it helps to build women of high moral and spiritual character. To become a member, a student must first earn twenty-one hours by working with the club and thereafter fifteen hours a year.

Radio Station WSRB has been steadily moving forxA ard vArith a program of reorganization and reconstruction. The location of the station was moved to the rear of Woods Hall and many tech- nical difficulties were to be overcome before operation could commence. Like many other campus radio stations in this area, WSRB was affected by the Federal Communications Commission ruling, forcing all the stations to limit their power only to the campus. As a result of the rehabilitation, WSRB will be able to operate in the years to come without fear of violating federal regulations. The station ' s purpose is to provide students with an oppor- tunity to participate in any phase of radio in which they may be interested or talented. 119 Sitting, left to right: Ann Beckett, Jim Brouse, Mr. Doleva, Thomas Chickanis, Joan Wells.

VARSITY FOOTBALL Rolling through its best season in the history of the school, the Springfield College grid squad breezed through the 1956 season with eight wins and one tie. The Ossie Solem-coached Maroons were voted the number ten team in the East by the Lambert Trophy Committee and, by the same organization, were chosen as the outstanding Eastern small college football aggre- gation. In addition to these honors the Solemen were the high- est scoring team East of the Mississippi. Individually All-New England end George Benedict was given second team berth on the Associated Press Little All-American team. Coach Ossie So- lem was given thirteenth place in the Coaches Association Coach- of-the-Year poll and number one position among small college coaches. Benedict, quarterback Les Plumb, and tackle Bob Litch- ard were named to the Student All-Springfield team while Solem was picked as the college ' s greatest coach. Coaches Solem and Dunn. SPRINGFIELD 42 CONNECTICUT 12 Storrs, Conn., Sept. 22— Springfield College ' s mighty Ma- roons made sweet music this afternoon as they crawled all over the University of Connecticut ' s hapless Huskies. Under the directorship of field general Les Plumb the Maroons ' of- fense crooned like a Crosby. The Dick MacPherson-Bob Litch- ard-George Benedict-Al Estey led defensive wall, however, must have sounded like a funeral dirge to UConn. The fire- breathing Solemen simply drove over, under, and around the woe-be-gone Huskies in their 41-12 romp. SPRINGFIELD 28 Springfield, Mass., Sept. 29— Four thousand grid patrons watched Springfield College ' s Ma- roons limp to a deceptive-looking 28 to 7 win over the pesky Lord Jeffs of Amherst in the 1956 grid lid-lifter on Pratt Field. The game. AMHERST 7 a dull comparison to the 41-12 romp at UConn last week, proved little besides the fact that it ' s a good thing that Amherst is the second contest on the Maroon schedule and not the ninth. For the Maroons George Redman provided the of- fensive spark. SPRINGFIELD 26 NORTHEASTERN 0 Springfield, Mass., Oct. 6— Springfield College ' s highflying Maroons, led by rampaging Les Plumb, soared to their third victory in as many games today by horse- whipping Northeastern ' s big lumbering Huskies 26 to 0. Plumb, Coach Ossie Solem ' s four way threat (run, pass, kick, and think) quarterback, did nothing but score 24 of the Maroons ' 26 points in Springfield ' s second home con- test of the year. SIMHNGFIELD 27 COLBY 7 Springfield, Mass., Oct. 1 3— A trio of Les Plumb to George Benedict touchdown passes plus the tremendous work of the hard-charging Maroon line paved the way to a 27-7 Parents ' Day victory over Colby today on Pratt Field. The undefeated Sole- men capitalized on two early breaks to send the weaker White Mules to defeat. The win gave th e powerful Alden Street eleven a spotless 4-0 record. 8PRINGFIEI.D 20 BRANDEIS 20 I Waltham, Mass., Oct. 20— Ossie Solem ' s high powered grid machine ground to a stumbling halt today against the fire-breath- ing Judges of Brandeis University. Springfield ' s heretofore un- beaten, untied Maroons did manage to hang on for a 20-20 tie ball game, but they were thoroughly outclassed in the Waltham contest. The stunned Springfielders fell two touchdowns behind in the very first stanza but, thanks to a Charley-Feid-led offense, the Alden Streeters bounced into a 20-13 three-quarter-mark lead. With just one scant minute left in the affair, however, Bran- deis ' sub quarterback Ron Stuart fired a perfect aerial strike to end John Chambers. Jim Stehlin hoofed the extra point to give the Blue and White a major New England upset. Estey is pulled down. Charlie Fied carries the ball. SPRINGFIELD 32 A.I.C. 0 Springfield, Mass., Oct. 27— Springfield ' s undefeated grid Maroons, led by backs Charlie Feid and Les Plumb, ripped through A. I. C. ' s highly rated defense five times today to give the Springfielders a 32-0 win over the cross-town Aces. The fired-up Solem crew, much to the dismay of A. I. C. ' s Homecom- ing gathering, pushed the home team all over the field to cap- ture the Mayor ' s trophy rather easily. SPRINGFIELD 40 RHODE ISLAND 0 SPRINGFIELD 40 NEW HAMPSHIRE 14 Springfield, M ss., Ntav. 3— Springfield Col- lege ' s methodical yet spectacular football squad, rolling over its grid opposition in much the same manner as Sherman pranced through Georgia, treated 4000 Homecoming Day Football Fanat- ics to its sixth win of the year by pasting Rhode Island ' s hornless Rams today 40-0. The Les Plumb, George Redman-led Maroons could do little wrong and Rhody ' s Rams could do abso- lutely nothing right as the fiigh scoring Alden Streeters sheared what little wool was left off last year ' s New England championship football team. Durham, N. H., Nov. 10— Five thousand ice- jammed football fanatics watched New Hamp- shire ' s very Blue Wildcats perform like eleven trained kittens as Springfield College ' s grid giants rumbled to a 40-14 victory here today. The Maroons, sparked by Charlie Feid ' s four touchdown waltzes, rolled to their seventh win of the season on the strength of a 21 point first quarter and a 19 point second period perform- ance. SPRINGFIELD 27 HOFSTRA 7 Hempstead, L. I., Nov. 1 7— Hofstra ' s energetic eighteen held football powerhouse Springfield College to a 7-7 halftime dead- lock today, but that was about the best the fearless Flying Dutch- men could hope to do. The second segment of the Hempstead happenings saw the rampaging Maroons run up three easy touchdowns to insure the best Springfield grid season in history.

Coach Archie Allen ' s Maroons drubbed their two Dixie opponents. East Carolina State and Howard University, during the Springfielders an- nual swing through the Southland. Upsala and Providence, the Maroon ' s initial two northern opponents, helped the Berry Fielders to wins number three and four. From there on in, however, the baseball path was an extremely rocky one for Springfield. The Allenmen dropped six out of their next seven encounters. Trinity, Amherst, Holy Cross, New Hampshire (the team that went on to become New England ' s 1956 championship outfit), Colby, and Connecticut lowered the Maroons midseason- al record to 5 wins and 6 loss es. The rest of the year saw the in and out Springfielders garnering wins over Boston Univer- sity, Yale, Providence, and Brandeis. Losses were sustained at the hands of Rhode Island, Northeast- ern, and Williams (three contests were lost to the Ephs). Captain Roger Wickman led the Maroon and White hitters. The slugging center fielder was also a tower of strength on defense. One of the most interesting experiments of the year was the con- version of hard-hitting first baseman Ed Bilik to the third base slot. Ron Miller took over Bilik ' s initial bag chores. Rollie Pearson at second and Alex Vishneoski at short stop provided the Ma- roons with their keystone combination. Besides Wickman the outer garden patrol was comprised of Tom Conroy, Paul Jordan, Ed Gra- ham, Dick Wyman, Bob Litchard, and Pete Saxton. Right-hander Dave Martens bore the brunt of the pitching assignments. Bob Corlett, Bill Busching, Ray Jacobsen, and Ed Bilek completed the Maroon mound corps. Graduating seniors included Travis Brown, Paul Jordan, Wickman, Vishneoski, Bean, Conroy, and Wyman.

The netmen started their slate with a southern trip and a visit to the University of North Carolina campus. Here the visitors dropped a 9-0 count at the hands of the Tarheels ' perennial south- ern champions. In their first New England match the locals were downed by the powerful R. P. I. squad, 5 to 3. The Maroons then went on a rampage as they produced the longest shutout victory string in the history of the Western Massachusetts college by swamping Connecticut, A. I. C., and Holy Cross by identical 9-0 scores. After dropping two home contests, a return match with North Carolina and a home meet with Trinity, the Kidessmen ended the season on a winning note as they rolled over Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Wesleyan. Co-captains Hal Greig and Irv Wilkinson provided the main line of offense while stars like Dudley Bell, Charlie McCord, Bill Summers, John Leonard, Mai Early, and Wes Aldrich did much to give the squad their winning season. For Greig, Early, McCord, and Wilkinson the Wesleyan match marked the end of their inter- collegiate tennis competition. 163 V 1 f 1 1 fa j I TEAM RECORD Springfield 0 3 9 9 9 0 3 6 8 5 Opponent North Carolina R.

The Maroon thinclads closed the year with more than successful performances in both the New England and Eastern Intercollegiate track meets. By far the outstanding event of the spring schedule was the second place performance of Coach Vern Cox ' s aggregation in the Eastern In- tercollegiate meet. The cindermen, co-captained by Paul Crowe and Laurie Smith, finished in second place. Andy Thompson was the outstanding individual performer for the Pratt Fielders. The lanky Maine native was a consistent point-getter in the pole vault, shot put, and javelin throw. Fie was Eastern Intercol- legiate champion in the pole vault.

FRESHMAN FOOTBALL The freshman football team had one of its leanest seasons in many years as the squad, coached by Archie Allen, concluded its 56 schedule with a 0-4 record. In their first two outings the Maroons were kept off the score sheet. In their opener they dropped a close 7-0 decision to the Hilltoppers from Tri- nity College. The second shutout defeat came at the hands of the Phillips Andover eleven as they turned back the Springfield yearlings 28-0. In their third and last away gridiron encounter, the Maroons travelled to Amherst to battle the University of Massachusetts aggregation. The host Red- men proved to be too strong for the visitors as they pinned a 27-6 defeat on the Allenmen. The University of Connecticut paid a visit to Pratt Field and gave the Alden Streeters their worst drubbing of the season. The heavier Huskies smashed the Maroons defense for a total of 47 points while having only a pair of touchdowns scored against them. Leading ground gamers for the Frosh gridders were Fred Guyer and Joe Mewhiney. SPRINGFIELD OPPONENT 0 Trinity 7 0 Phillips Andover 28 6 Massachusetts 27 13 Connecticut 47 FRESHMAN SOCCER Springfield ' s 1956 version of the freshman soccer team, coached by John Haines, ended its schedule early in November after complet- ing a 5 game slate. The Li ' l Maroons ended the fall season v ith a not-too-impressive 1-3-1 record. The yearlings single win came when they downed Trinity by a 4-1 count. Mount Herman and R.P.I. proved to be the first two foes to drop the Alden Streeters. In the last two tilts the locals battled both Wesleyan and the University of Connecticut to overtime decisions. The first game remained a deadlock, while in the second contest the University of Connecticut frosh managed, in the dying seconds, to dent the Maroon nets. Charlie Ponsen emerged as the squad ' s leading performer and top scorer. Other offensive stars were Tom Swartz and Gil Grant, while Terry Jackson provided the backbone of the yearling ' s defen- sive.

The Parkermen opened the ' 56 slate with a pair of home meets, but despite this advantage they were downed by both the Mount Herman and the University of Connecticut squads. The next tilt found the yearlings traveling north to the University of Massachusetts cam- pus where they lost a close 24-32 decision. Tufts proved to be the locals ' fourth stumbling block as they edged the Maroons 27-28, in the closest meet of the season. In the next encounter the Alden Street- ers finally emerged victorious by dropping the R.P.I. frosh, 26-29. In the final meet of the fall season the Wesleyan team took home a 20-35 win. The most promising Varsity prospect among the frosh harriers was their captain, Paul Whitlock; other possible ' 57 varsity candi- dates include Don Kilgrass and Ken Meyer.

FRESHMAN BASKETBALL Two one point losses and three high scoring wins pretty well sum up the 1957 version of the freshmen basketball squad. With a nucleus of seasoned high school performers Coach Archie Allen molded together a strong, fast- breaking, hard pressing quintet. The Allenmen greeted the new season with an overtime, one point loss to the Northeastern squad as they dropped an 86-85 count. Providence and Amherst then downed the frosh as the Maroons, still hungry for a win, pre- pared for what proved to be their longest win streak. UMass., A.I.C., Mon- son, and Williams then made the Springfield loser ' s column as the li I Ma- roons piled up a total of 340 points In the four contests. The next four games were evenly split as the locals tripped Dean and Providence. The Dean tilt was one of the highest scoring Freshmen games in some years as the visitors took home a 108 to 98 win. Among the outstanding performers on the frosh hoop squad were, Mur- ray Stockfeder, David Guenard, and Robert Wiechel.

FRESHMAN EXHIBITION In their second year as a single” the freshmen Gymnastics Exhibition Team performed in several towns and cities in the Connecticut Valley. The squad was coached by one of Springfield ' s greatest gymnasts, Irv Schmid and besides performing on their own they also helped the varsity troop cele- brate the Winter Homecoming. The freshmen revised repetoire included The Bamboo Dance , and a presentation of Human Statuary in the style introduced to Springfield Col- lege by Coach Leslie J. Judd. Besides these new events the team performed on the parallel bars, long horse, side horse, trampoline, and in the various team drills. The highlights of |ust about every show were the clown act by Dave Hawes and John Russell and the triple balance team composed of Lloyd Van Putten, Ernie Furblur, and Joe Fedora. Along with the Homecoming pres- entation the gymnasts performed in Wilbraham and Weathersfield, Conn. The 1957 squad was captained by Joe Fedora and Bob Laundy. Many of the freshmen performers are expected to take over the slots left vacant next year in the varsity squad. 174 FRESHMAN SWIMMING Facing some of the toughest freshmen swimming crews in New England the freshmen splashers failed to hit the win column in their first four outings. All-American Bill Yorzyk, in his freshman year as a college swimming mentor, was unable to see his swimmers start any kind of win streak. The Alden Streeter ' s initial meet resulted in a 50 to 27 loss to the Phillips Andover mermen. In the season’s closest meet and first home appearance the strong Wesleyan frosh eked out a tight 38-35 score. In the next two tilts the local aquamen again took it on the chin as they were sunk twice more by 44-33 and 48-38 scores. The record failed to show the true power of the frosh squad for it was the loss of the final event, the 200 yard freestyle go , that cost the Maroons a much coveted win. This year the team was co-captained by Dave Carrington and Roger Nekton. Other outstanding swimmers were Paul Cianci, Dave Paradine, Bill Cox, John Mordock, William Merrill, and Niles Jacoby.

FRESHMAN WRESTLING SPRINGFIELD 21 Yale 26 Phillips Andover 21 Wesleyan 16 Mt. Hermon 16 Harvard 24 Hofstra OPPONENT 13 8 5 18 15 6 Springfield s yearling grapplers compiled one of the winningest seasons m some years as the h i Maroons ended their regular slate with a 6 and 1 record. With a combination of new blood and a few seasoned high school wrestlers, Coach Ted Dunn molded a fine, hard hitting crew. The freshmen matmen started off on the right foot as they downed Yale 21 to 1 3 in the schedule ' s initial dual meet. Phillips Andover and Wes- leyan provided the next foes but they too were dropped into the ranks of the defeated. Springfield ' s lone loss came at the hands of the ever powerful Mt. Hermon squad — an 18-16 squeeker. The Alden Streeters then hit the win column as they narrowly edged Harvard 16-15 and then, in the final meet, smashed Hofstra 24-6. Led by captain Bob Campana the li I Maroons boasted such stand- outs as Art Moses, Al Stubblebine, Ralph DiMuccio, Wayne Green- law, Bill Babcock, Ray Carreau, and Butch Graves. First row, left to right: Tom Giombro; Marty Pierce; Skip Southerlan; Julius DeAgvafino; Harold Itchkowich; John Foley; Jon Mogoon. Second row: Chuck Brant; Art Wilke; Dick Muster; Bob Payne; Bill Richards; Tom Johnson; Bill Con- ther; Ralph Silva. Third row: Coach Ed Steitz; Al Byrne; Herb New- horiser; Bill Sullivan; Ed Schultz; Milt Theodosator; Mil Hale. FRESHMAN BASEBALL Coach Ed Steitz, aided by his assistants Bill Edwards and Sherm Kenny, started the ' 56 slate with a young and inexperienced troop. By the time the end of the season rolled around, however, the yearl- ing squad sported one of the best won and lost records in the school. In their first nine games the Li ' l Maroons supported a perfect rec- ord only to drop a real squeaker in their final outing to the Monson nine by a 1-0 score. Among the big wins for the Frosh were two shutout victories over Yale, 9-0, and Williams, 2-0. The Cheshire con- test proved to be a real slug-fest before the Steitzmen emerged on the long end of a 13-9 decision. With Marty Pierce hitting the long ball and teammate Bill Sulli- van pitching in the fast ones, the opposition found it tough to get the |ump on the Alden Streeters. Other players who turned in fine of- fensive and defensive appearances were Bob Payne, Tom Giambra, and Dick Heisler. SPRINGFIELD 6 9 9 6 2 13 9 9 0 Amherst Mount Hermon Yale U. Conn.

Springfield ' s second meet proved to be its best showing as the team dumped the University of Connecticut yearlings 81 to 54. The Schmidmen then hit the win column in four straight appearances as they dropped not only the Huskies but Amherst, Phillips Exeter, and Massachusetts. Tom Flubacher proved to be the squad ' s outstanding star as he garnered vital points in both the track and field events.

Junior varsity sports, while not officially sponsored or recognized by Springfield Col- lege, furnish o valuable field of training for varsity prospects. There currently are three JV teams on the Springfield campus. All three, basketball, baseball, and wrestling, en|oyed excellent seasons. The JV grapplers were especially impres- sive. The Len Rivers-coached group defeated three varsity teams during the season (Union College, Massachusetts, and Connecticut). The basketball team, coached by Vern Cox, was one of the most colorful sports units on the SC grounds. Most of their opposition, as in the case of the diamond men, was provided by junior colleges and local service teams.

It ' s hard to realize |ust how much time and sweat must be devoted to the publication of a school annual. One thing is certain, however, it ' s a community ad- venture; and adventure is the correct terminology. The accumulation of copy, photos, general information, and art work plus the editing and piecing of these items is anything but a one or two man project. It takes able bodied humans who are willing to devote time, energy, and plenty of effort to attain a specific end. Fortunately we were able to accumulate such a staff. Without these staff members the editor ' s job, which in reality is a minor part of a major effort, would be insurmountable. The 57 Massasoit staff would like to extend their thanks to all those on compus who took some part in making our work a bit eas- ier. And to you, the students, faculty, alumni, and friends of Spring- field College, we present the 1957 Massasoit. CLARK H. ALLEN, Editor.
