Suffolk University - Beacon Yearbook (Boston, MA)

Text from Pages 1 - 110 of the 1961 volume:

This Was Our Life at S.U., lur Purpose Suffolk, standing proudly in back of our state capital, is centered in one of Boston ' s oldest sections, known to the people of the United States and the world for its cultural, political, and historical heritage. Sinuous and narrow streets, quaint restaurants and shops, and russet brownstone apartment buildings exude a spirit of pride to fulfill a purpose of people who have passed into the pages of history — the spirit that has made Boston what it is today. They are gone, but the spiritual copestone of their century is now the cornerstone of ours, to inspire students of Suffolk with traditions of pride, purpose, and pursuit. This is our school — our Suffolk. This is our trusted heritage to treasure and emu- late, and then, after leaving Suffolk and entering the world, to surpass. Our job and obligation is to carry on. ORGANIZATIONS 3 We Sfadafe Our Former Dr. Robert J. Munce After twelve years of devoted duty to Suffolk University, Dr. Robert J. Munce released the presidential reins to assume the newly-created chair of chancellor. Since 1948 Dr. Munce faithfully served Suffolk, and before 1948, was associated with the Universities of Pittsburgh and Washington. We know Dr. Munce will be happy and at home at the helm of our university. And e xwte Our New President After serving as superintendent of Boston ' s school system since 1948, Dr. Dennis C. Haley, in September, 1960, was appointed President of Suffolk, and we know he will carry on the fine tradition established under the administration of Dr. Munce. Dr. Haley was graduated from Holy Cross College and Boston Normal School and holds masters degrees from Harvard and Boston College, and honorary doctorates from three distinguished institutions. Welcome aboard. Dr. Dennis C. Haley 5 Administration Fifty-five impressive years have been torn off the calendar since the University first opened its doors with a student body, faculty and ad- ministration which could be counted on one hand. Today, the University boasts instructors and professors from some of the finest schools in the world. Fifty-five years have created a student grow- ing student body under the tutelage of fine aca- demic minds, and alumni who are spread to the far corners of the United States and the world. DONALD W. GOODRICH Dean and Registrar HON I ST FLORENCE PETHERICK Advisor to Women LEO LIEBERMAN Director of Guidance 6 7 PROLOGUE Suffolk, surrounded by cars, buildings, and people, lives within its own world. In early morning students stream to Suffolk from subways, train stations, cars, and motorscooters parked here and there and, at night, stream back to their suburbs, jobs, and apart- ments in Boston. This heterogeneous student body displays a variety of study moods — sitting and smoking on the stairs, cramming chemistry in the cafeteria, reading re- ligiously in the library ' s solemn shadows, drinking in the professors pearls of wisdom. Suffolk Encourages An Inter-change 10 Suffolk, nestled in historic Boston, awakens with the warmth of the spring sun. Its students saunter in the shadows of the statehouse dome or lean against the sun-splashed walls, smoking and talking of things only the spring evokes — joy, sorrow, sweethearts, the future. And the spring seeps through the walls, too, as boys and girls meet and talk. Of Ideas ■ The students are quiet and attentive in the classrooms. Then — the break. Silence is shat- tered as students jam the halls, talking and walking here and there, and soon a blue mist of smoke hangs heavy. The break over — class resumes.

Student Government Maintains Cooperation The Student Government is an organization comprised of student representatives from each class. Under the firm and capable leader- ship of its President Bruce Quirk, the Student Government has been most successful in its work and has made great strides forward in be- half of its student body, and at the same time has established and maintained greater cooperation and good spirit among both administra- tion and students.

DEBATING CLUB A doff of the Suffolk beanie to President Bill McCarthy, under whose leadership the debating team eloquently rose victoriously over such formid- able opponents as Harvard, Rutgers, Un;v. of Pennsylvania, and Seton Hall University, just to mention a few. Throughout the year, Suffolk ' s two teams travelled to contests at Brown University, Hofstrau, Columbia and American International College Quarterback McCarthy inspired the rhe- toric of his backs who carried the ball ably. It will be remembered that the student body reacted to the Society ' s victories as they would to a trium- phant football clash with Calvin Coolidge College. How now brown ram! . . .

Kennedy and Admiral Hyman Rickover, the University encourages its students to take part in the sports offered to them. The two major sports to be found at Suffolk are basketball and baseball. During the past school year a golf team has been started which offers a promising future to the Suffolk sports department. It is the hope of this yearbook that we can see added sports activities with greater student participation. One of the many points being scored against Nasson, a Ram victim. BASKETBALL With an even win-loss record for the season, the Suffolk basketball team closed out the year and won the Babson Invitational Basketball Tourney. Coached by capable Charles Law, the Rams began this year ' s schedule with almost an entire new crop of promising competitors to replace the graduates. The Rams in recent years have been gaining in sports recognition among the small college leagues and are now making rival coaches look ahead, worry about the day, not far off, when Suffolk will become a basketball power. Up and in for two points. 36 A tense moment as players tap off for possession of ball. 37 BASEBALL Baseball practice got off to a late start this year with the return of eight lettermen and the addition of five rookies. Hoping to better their 1960 record, the dia- mondmen counted heavily on such dependable performers as Charlie Remos and Bill McCarthy. As a result, with tighter pitching and good field- ing, Suffolk baseball boasted a good outlook. Smile on player ' s face indicated that he is safe — or is he? Warming up his pitching arm is one of the can- didates for Ram mound duties. 38 CHEERLEADERS — Louise Moron, Elaine Asherton, Joan Sullivan, Pat Foster. CHEERLEADERS Always on hand to lend that extra burst of spirit, the Suffolk cheerleaders are a pleas- ant sight. Captained by energetic Joan Sul- livan in their blue uniforms they led Suffolk students in their variety of cheers. The cheerleaders always sharing the thrills and disappointments of the games with the teams are always appreciated by both players and fans alike Captain Joan Sullivan caught in the midst of a victory cheer. 40 Zfi H0N1STASET DIUGENTIA 3 J wiM 0 r Thornton Dakin, Jr. President Joseph Jacoppi Vice-President CLASS OFFICERS Sheila Kloss Secretary Walter Joyce Treasurer 42 SPECIAL RECOGNITION DR. STANLEY VOGEL Perhaps every class has its able advisor, yet few classes can boast of having as amiable valuable, and pleasant a friend as we have had in Dr. Sranlev Vogel. Always wi lling and anxious to encourage the serious student, the Doctor listened intentively, re- sponded easily, and urged gently. Gratitude expressed here can hardly approximate the degree of thanks aeserved. To Dr. Vogel we are indebted for the in- sight he inspired — the intellectual air, the spirit, and the hope of our class. 44 ROBERT F.

McDERMOTT Dean of The Law School In 1906 a young lawyer, Gleason Leonard Archer founded Suffolk University. After being befriended by a wealthy man who helped him to secure an education, he was de- termined to establish a law school for aspiring young men who found it necessary to work while earning their degrees. In the incipient stages, Mr. Archer held the first law classes in an unpretentious apart- ment in Roxbury. Because of his enthusiasm, leadership, and ability to inspire his students in the face of hardships, the small school grew speedily in popularity and was granted a charter by the Legislature of Massachusetts in 1914. The early success of Suffolk Law School was due primarily to the effectiveness by which self-supporting students were trained to grasp the fundamentals of law and prepare for the bar examination. Hundreds of judges, lawyers, businessmen, and leaders in civic and political life attest to the success Suffolk has gained and continues to gain today. To anyone connected with law or its component fields no matter where he or she may be, Suffolk Law School has the reputation of having turned out stable and competent men and women. And to provide greater opportunities in the field of law a Graduate School of Law was established in September, 1935, and it too has grown rapidly as a permanent depart- ment of the law school. Since there is an ever increasing demand for more and better lawyers and judges we are sure that Suffolk Law School will continue to develope men and women of high caliber. 64 C1ASS OF 1961 RICHARD G.

Since 1951 the Suffolk Marketing Club has been associated with the American Marketing Association. With the kind assistance of its advisor, Dr. Dion J. Archon, the club enjoys such activities as field trips to popular business establishments, enlightened lectures by prominent personalities in the business world, and annual participation in the Regional Student Marketing Conference. AMA MEMBERS — Front Row, I. to r.: Dr. D. J. Archon, advisor; W. Joyce, R. Hadaya, W. Russ, M. Donahue. Second Row: T. Dakin, R. Mclnnes, E. DiPierro. Third Row: J. Coffey, R. Chaput, A. Caras, D.

The Society for Advancement of Management or better known as S.A.M., attracts the serious minded student who has an interest in economics and business administration. S.A.M. is a professional organization of management that is nationally recognized in almost all phases of business. Mr. Diamond, faculty advisor, helps bring business executives and organization members together in order to make it possible for the student to take part in management activities. Such activities include seminars, conferences and plant visits. 79 GAMMA SIGMA UPSILON — Kneeling: Pat McGovern, Anne Louise Moron, Bonnie Butler, Nancy Hewitt, Janet Karle, Fitzpotrick, Pamela Calhoun.

Gamma Sig provides the incoming Freshmen girls with Big Sisters. Among the organizations highlights is the annual Mother and Daughter Tea and an Athletic Program held at the Boston YWCA. SPANISH CLUB Through films of Spain and Hispano - america, discussion among the members of folk mores, Spanish literature and music, each participant in the club ' s active program became informally related-to aspects of the Spanish culture. The adept use of Spanish at every meet- ing reflected the integration of the club with Spanish courses at S.U. Several veteran mem- bers of the club aptly directed activities found by each and all to be both interesting and informative. The club boasts a future as worthy.

Individual interests may range from such functions as learn- ing the art of make-up or stage setting or acting. The student will find that whether he is designing a small part of stage setting or learning to recite in a forceful tone Shakespeare, no one role is of less importance than the next. Through such ac- tivities the student gains fundamental and prac- tical experience in the field of drama. [ ASSOCIATION One of the more active or- ganizations at the University is the Education Association. Members of the Association enjoy such activities as teas, panels, speakers, and discus- sion groups. The student can not help being stimulated and enlightened in the study of education because of the more complete acquaintanceship the association offers between stu- dents and faculty.

CHALLENGES SI DRAMATICS After hours upon hours of rehearsing their lines, worrying, selling tickets etc., the Suffolk Players were ready for their master production of Stalag 17. Directed by Mr. Peter MacKlain, the University Theater coach, who frequently exercised his vocal cords in directing the neo-Beacon stars, the play was found to be a huge success. The students who participate in the Universities ' theatre production obtain valuable experience in stage setting, make-up, and of course acting.

The welcome afforded all by Mr Paul Dean at his Newton home, and his en- tertaining discussions perhaps are the most pleas- ant moments for the members to recall.
