There were names of prominent peo- ple, doing prominent deeds, in promi- nent positions within and outside the government whose fates touched upon the Springfield-based arsenal and who added to its luster of truly being the first In the keystone bastions which gave the United States of America the international reputation of being the ARSENAL OF DEMOCRACY. Such people as General George Wash- ington and General Henry Knox started the trend of association with the present day Springfield Armory. There were, among others, such lumi- naries as: David Ames, the first super- intendent ... Robert Orr, the first armorer . . Thomas Dawes, who made the first purchases of land which be- came the Springfield Armory ... Lt. Col. Roswell Lee, first military super- intendent ... Thomas Blanchard, de- signer ... Major J. G. Benton, for whom the city ' s Benton Park and this installation ' s small arms museum are named ... William R. Billy Bull, who as an Armory employee, outshot all marksmanship competitors to gain the world title ... Ersklne Allen, James Cranston, and Lucian Bruce who were connected with early development of small arms ... Daniel Shays and Luke Day of Shays ' Rebellion notoriety . . . General Shepard of Westfield who pro- tected the Armory against Shays ' men ... the Marquis de Lafayette, Wash- ington ' s close friend who visited here ... and today a legend for his work In our field is the name of John C. Garand, the inventor of the Ml rifle which bears his name. Some ot the high points In the Armory ' s 174-year history are listed be- low in chronological order.

The remainder of the twenty-five buildings on approximately thirty-five acres of Arm- ory land are transferred to Springfield Technical Institute, a Massachusetts Re- gional Community College Armorer THE ARSENAL AT SPRINGFIELD This is the arsenal, from floor to celling. Like a huge organ, rise the burnish ' d arms; But from their silent pipes no anthem pealing. Startles the villages with strange alarms. Ah! What a sound will rise, how wild and dreary. When the death-angel touches those swift keys! What loud lament and dismal miserere Will mingle with their awful symphones! I hear even now the infinite fierce chorus. The cries of agony, the endless groan. Which, through the ages that have gone before us. In long reverberations reach our own. On helm and harness rings the saxon hammer. Through clmbrlc forest roars the Norsemen ' s song, And loud, amid the universal clamor. O ' er distant deserts sounds the tartar gong. I hear the Florentine, who from his palace Wheels out his battle bell with dreadful din. And Aztec priests upon their teocallis Beat the wild war-drums made of serpent ' s skin; The tumult of each sacked and burning village; The shout that every prayer for mercy drowns; The soldier ' s revels in the midst of pillage; The wall of famine in beleaguered towns; The bursting shell, the gateway wrench ' d asunder, The rattling musketry, the clashing blade; And ever and anon, in tones of thunder. The diapason of the cannonade. Is it, O Man, with such discordant noises. With such accursed Instruments as these. Thou drownest nature ' s sweet and kindly voices. And jarrest the celestial harmonies? Were half the power that fills the world with terror, Were half the wealth, bestow ' d on camps and courts. Given to redeem the human mind from error, There were no need of arsenals nor forts: The warrior ' s name would be a name abhorred! And every nation, that should lift again Its hand against a brother, on its forehead Would wear for evermore the curse of Cain! Down the dark future, through long generations, The echoing sounds grow fainter and then cease; And I like a bell, with solemn, sweet vibrations, 1 hear once more the voice of Christ say Peace! Peace! and no longer from its brazen portals The blast of war ' s great organ shakes the skies! But beautiful as songs of the immortals. The holy melodies of love arise. — Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Raymond Lindsay Heating and Power Irving Magoon Machine and Tool Design Carol Ma+hison Physical Therapy Walter Mayfield English Thomas Tetlow Data Proc.

An Impressive This season proved very productive for Coach John Bugbee and the Rams. The team concluded the 1967-68 basketball season with a very respectable 18-3 overall average. The success of the team was largely due to the stellar performances of each individual on the Rams roster, but special credit should go to Coach Bugbee, the cheerleaders and the starting five: John Brown (co-captain), Sam Bass, Buddy Wil- liam, Mike Redmond, and Bob Provost (co-captain). 68 18-3 Record 60 77 89 99 108 73 82 107 94 73 105 95 I 18 88 I 1 I 86 108 122 73 76 Greenfield Com.

Rose, for all the business work and Richard, for his thoughtful work, and to Dick Dawson, our year- book counselor, we extend our gratitude.

So this book is meant for all at Springfield Technical In- stitute, whether participants or interested bystanders. It is our sincerest wish that the Technician will hold the warmest of memories in your future.
