X fUJU u I ®te ®ek oa t 1 9 2 Dedicated to the people who are the Spirit of ' 76 . The people we live with, love with, fight with, and finally leave — but hopefully the people we never forget. For various reasons we are all here at Westfield State — doing time together, sharing a quest, or just bumping at a beer party. And while we ' re here We arrange the year around academic loads to accomodate semi-professional attempts at drama, politics, education, and journalism, to accomodate picnics, snowball fights, suntanning and long wal ks. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. (Desiderata) Complete individuals, we all share for a while this place, these opportunities, this group of people. Enjoy these memories They ' re all that ' s left you. ami that ' s tin- way it was . . . 200 years ago today. ' ' Well. WSC wasn ' t here 200 years ago. But TEKOA is not one to let a party, especially a 200 year birth- day parts ' , go by unnoticed. So with the help of WSC ' s archives-, we have reproduced some pictures and other memorabilia from WSC s historv We hope these reflections l West- lield ' s past help bring the Bicenten- nial to a more personal and interest- ing level. •I 1 1 1 I J 1 1 1 I L J L j i i i l i r i i i i IALL Special Stories Fine Arts Sports mm LUBS, CLASSES, DORMS 8P® SPRING Special Stories Fine Arts Sports Hr 1 EDITS IANAGEMENT IORS H HEN H BAST, but not least, 4 30 38 42 64 106 134 140 144 167 168 179 a non sexist, non- racist page for everyone 208 Summer Camp It taught me that there was no way I could party Sunday night and make it to an 8:30 class on Monday.

No — Summer camp was never like this! Parties every night and hangovers every morning initiated many of the six hundred and seventy-five Freshmen who attended this year ' s Orientation to college life. The party attitude indicated that almost everyone was more interested in socializing than in filling out forms or watching the Love Tape. In expressing his feelings about Orientation, Edward Healey, one of the coordin- ators, replied, On a whole Orientation went well, but on the whole the Freshmen keep getting bolder every year. They will certainly leave their mark on this campus if they haven ' t already! ' I left home with a feeling of uneasiness and returned with a sense of security. ' ' Janice Lunnreth •-. • Extra!

The hopes of the Freshmen were raised several times during the contest when it looked like the Freshmen were gaining the advantage. However, it took just one wrong move to send several Freshmen into the pond. The swans and ducks were quite surprised to find swimming partners when a few Freshmen got revenge and threw several Juniors into the pond. Besides frolicking in the water, the two classes participated in Buck-Buck, Red Hover, and in building a human pyramid. They ate a picnic together at Stanley Park in an atmosphere of good sportsmanship. This year the traditional WSC Slave Day received a new title, Freshmen Inc. Sponsored by the class of 1978 to raise money, the Sophmores could not have succeded without the fun-loving Freshmen. Those Freshmen who did not retreat home early Friday, October 3rd, were put through the paces of singing, dancing and simply acting foolish at the whims of the upperclassmen ... for a price! For four hours, WSC returned to the eighteen hundreds as upper- classmen bought the nervous Freshmen at prices ranging from five cents to fourteen dollars. Once purchased, the Freshmen were at the mercy of their masters as they did laundry, cleaned rooms, and even washed windows. Liberation time soon came, however, to find relieved Freshmen, rich Soph- mores, and sorrowful upperclassmen. The thought that they would have their turn supervising Fresh- men next year helped many of this year ' s Freshmen make it through to Liberation Time. You should have seen the one that n t a va Slave Day Receives New Title October 3 Many of the upperclassmen had themselves ready-made dates for the dance that night. The slaves ran for their masters ' beer, danced with them, and in some cases, even helped them make it home. Jamie Brockett Walking onto the stage on the evening of October 7, 1975, Jamie Brockett gave the impression of the typical country-folk character, with his white shirt and faded blue jeans. In this concert sponsored by the Student Union Concert Committee. Brockett ' s obsession of being reincarnated as a saxaphone, led into a sing-a-long with the song You are my Sunshine in which he imitated a saxaphone. After the intermission, Brockett ' s lateness caused the audience to flick their Bics and sing You are my Sunshine again. Brock- ett ' s rapport with the audience was great, handling the hecklers with ease and style. In commenting on the large turn-out for this Tuesday night con- cert, Brockett remarked What else do you do up here in the woods except hang around looking at trees. ■ Harvey ' s . Probably for every person who eats there, that name conjures up a different image. Harvey ' s refers di- rectly to Harvey Allen, the manager of the food service on campus ... It also refers to all-purpose brown gravy, last resort cold cuts, and awffles for break- fast ... or better, all the milk, Tab and Coke you can drink, and ice cream (sometimes) ... a place to sit for many morning hours playing cards, cramming for exams, or just surveying the scene. For the price of a meal pass, a student can get three meals a day, seven days a week, for about fifty cents a meal. By the same token, many students never pay the board bill and eat in the caf regularly. The caf provides jobs for students as well as food. Although working on the pig and picking up trays may not be the most pleasant way to spend time, the money earned is undoubtedly benefi- cial. Unfortunately, there is a minority who refuse to pick up their trays, who think food fights are top excitement, and who generally neglect the rights of others. However, the advantages — and they differ from person to person according to who likes doughnuts on Friday and spagetti on Tuesday — make Harvey ' s a pretty nice place to visit. But I ' m Used To Saying ' New Dorm ?; A large number of parents and friends came to visit their sons and daughters on the traditional Parent ' s Day, held this year on Oct. 26. The program commenced at Dever Audito- rium with Dean Hiersche welcoming all. The program began with a performance by the WSC Chorale. Pres. Randolph, Deans Marotte and Mc- Kenna were also on hand. The two student co-directors of Freshmen Orientation welcomed the crowd. Elsa Sjo- berg spoke of the advantages of going to a small college. She encouraged students to be involved in campus activities and praised the exchange program. Ed Healy said that college is lonely and although students have a new sense of inde- pendence, they need all the love and en- couragement parents can offer. After a box lunch parents and students en- joyed performances by campus musical groups. Also in the afternoon, the new dorm was dedicated to Theresa J. Lammers, a former WSC professor. Lammers Hall gained an identity that many residents still aren ' t used to. Until the new New Dorm opens, there will be a lot of people living in new Lammers Dorm . 14 Does She, Or Doesn ' t She Alice Doesn ' t Day was a national strike In addition to speeches by Leah Stern day organized by N.O.W. and Marylin Denny and self-defense demonstration, the Women ' s Organiza- At WSC, the day was observed by WOA tion for Awareness had displays set up — sponsored speakers and demonstra- dealing with birth control and sexism in tions. education, among other things. These activities were held during the Refreshments were also served, evening so that students and others who did not feel justified in skipping a days work could still attend. Baseball Team — Off The Field A downpour began the evening as hundreds of WSC students made their way to the Student Union for the Baseball Team Dance. The dance was planned around a greaser theme and so longer skirts, slicked-back hair and leather jackets were the predominant costumes. Beer craving ladies and gents indulged themselves with the ale of the evening as they danced to records of yesterday. The amount of beer con- sumed can only be measured by the number of hangovers suffered the next morning. But during the dance, people delighted in bumping their way across the dance floor to the most popular recording artists of the 50 ' s and 60s. Members of the Baseball Team worked long and hard hours, both before and after the dance to achieve a highly successful fund raising event. What ever happened to Tom Turkey? Prior to Thanksgiving Day, the baseball team sponsored a turkey raffle in ord finance their trip down south. However, the weekend before the raffle, Tom Ti disappeared and couldn ' t be found. No one seemed to know the whereabou Torn Turkey. A campuswide search was conducted, however the turkey was no v to be found. Several bereaved students conducted a mock funeral in Scanlon Cafe using a fi turkey perched on a stretcher from the gym. Several hundred students paid thei respects. To this day, the mystery remains unsolved and no one seems to know wha happened to Torn. 16 For 99 p A Lot Of Variety V dedicated group of slightly crazy people vorked to make the Faculty-Student Vari- ' ty show a success this year. rhe program on Nov. 6, 1975, was a veil-planned mixture of comedy, philos- iphy and classical music. The show was ponsored by the WSC Exchange Commit- ee. ' rof. Murray M. Schwartz acted as Master f Ceremonies. He kept the audience high- y amused between acts by telling jokes in he vaudevillian tradition. )ther comedy acts were broken up by singers. A reading from John Ciardi ' s work by Prof. Alward and a piano medley of Italian songs by Prof. Rovetto added a touch of class to the first and second acts, respectively. Students sang, danced and played instru- ments, and a very credible impression of Richard Nixon was offered by Paul Adams in a comedy skit. For 99(f, the full-house audience got a good evening ' s entertainment and the Exchange Committe reaped the profits. T i r Tf tt if if if ff ?r if if r p if 1 l r- ' fl t 01 j f £ Dukakis At WSC The Governor of Massachusetts, Michael Dukakis visited WSC on Thursday, December 4th to get firsthand ideas about educa- tion and the re-organization of higher education. The open-forum type meeting was well organized and run. Opening remarks were made by the Governor, Harvey Roazen as president of the Academic Federation, and John Mahoney as president of the Student Senate. The floor was then turned over to the overflow crowd for questions and comments. Professor Tetrault of the philosophy department spoke first. He mentioned the low morale of the state college students and suggested that at state colleges, a second class education is offered to second class students. Professor Russo spoke to the question of scholarships for the state college students as opposed to those for private college students. Paul McGuire, a student, spoke of his educational experiences at WSC. Marilyn Denny was the final speaker approaching the topic of vocationally orientated vs liberal arts education. At precisely 4:00, the governor and his entourage had to leave. Although he appeared specifically interested in the comments made him, the majority of the audience remained skeptical as to the effects of this visit. Something New For WOA In addition to holding Alice Doesn ' t Day and helping to sponsor Jill Johnston, the Women ' s Organization for Awareness in the fall were given a room to set up a Women ' s Center in the Student Union. The group set immediately to work and opened the Center at the beginning of the spring semester. Radical lesbian feminist Jill Johnston, nationally renown author of Lesbian Nation and Gullible ' s Travels spoke at Westfield State on November 21, 1975. In a very informal style, Johnston spoke of her involvement in the national women ' s movement and shared her ideas about how feminists at Westfield should approach the campus. Johnston spent a great deal of time addressing the gay commu- nity of Westfield and listening to their unique problems as individuals and as a group. Admitting the problems facing both feminists and homosexuals, Johnston expresses much hope and encouragement for both movements. Jill Johnston was sponsored by the Sexual Identity Awareness Organization the Sex Education and Counseling Service, the Philosophy Club and the Women ' s Organization for Awareness. 21 And Sasparilla The WSC Veteran ' s Club on Nov. 22, 1975 spon- sored a concert that should have been better at- tended. Jade and Sasparilla are two women singers with great voices, great musical offerings and great personal magnetism. They have appeared on television and play regularly on Cape Cod. Their songs range from bines to soul to folk, representing the 40s, 50s, and 60s. They sang several pieces written for them by a friend. Although they began 45 minutes late due to light and sound difficulties, the audience quickly be- came entranced with their style. A standing ovation at the close of the concert produced 2 encores by two fine performers. Ken Manzer ' Charms As Ken Manzer took his place at the piano, a feeling of anticipation filled Juniper Park Auditorium. As the first chords were struck, it was fairly obvious that Mr. Manzer was once again going to charm his audience with the magic of his music. Ken Manzer is well known at WSC for his annual piano concerts at Juniper Park. At each concert, Manzer delights his followers by playing a combination of both classical and modern composi- tions. This concert was no exception. The audjence was entranced with Manzer s ability to make the piano come alive. Manzer becomes part of the piano, creating music that is both beautiful and alive. The audience can feel this and quickly becomes captivated. No one should miss Ken Manzer in concert! Ferguson Brings House Down 24 Columbia recording artist Maynard Fer- guson graced the WSC campus with an unforgettable performance in a concert on October 21. Dever Auditorium was filled to capac- ity. Even those individuals who were un- able to find seats were content to stand in the back of the hall. As the house lights dimmed, twelve vi- brant young musicians exploded into a Jazz piece from Ferguson ' s latest album. Walking onto the stage with trumpet in hand, Ferguson greeted his many fans with an exhibition of his extensive tal- ent. The audience interupted him at in- tervals with cyclones of applause. It is no exageration to say that the band literally brought the house down. During one of their more resonant pieces, three ceiling tiles came thundering down into the au- dience. No one was hurt, and the band contin- ued to delight the audience with an El- ton John piece. In appreciation for a fine performance, the audience gave Maynard Ferguson and his orchestra a standing ovation. Count Basie The WSC Jazz Rock Ensemble sponsored Count Basie and his orchestra on December 8, 1975. Once again they provided the Westfield Community with a top name in entertainment. Even for non-jazz afficionados, Count Basie is a well known name. This band demonstrated a high level of professionalism and musical talent. Unlike the Maynard Ferguson band, Count Basic ' s orchestra did not play much improvisational jazz. However each of the band members played at least one solo. There were also two vocal numbers near the end of the program. The band received a standing ovation and performed an encore. A triumph for the college ' s jazz studies program, and an impor- tant evening of entertainment for all music lovers. 2S U. Mass At Westfield??? During November of 1975, Kevi l B. Harrington the Mass. State Senate, filed legislat on that would have abolished the State College Board of Trustee; and placed all ten State Col- leges under the University of Massac husetts. The bill was drawn up jointly by Harrington ' s office and t le office of U Mass President, Robert Wood. The supposed rations le behind the bill was to make Mass. public higher education mon efficient, of better quality at less cost. The students at Westfiel d could not understand ho Harrington ' s bill would accomplish this. Amidst flying rumors favoring at d opposing re-organization, a public forum was planned for Devei Auditorium on November 24, 1975. The open forum was to havt been used to relay whatever information that was available, to a iswer questions if possible and assess students ' feelings about the H irrington proposal. The forum panel consisted of: John Mahoney, SC Student Senate President; Pat Findlen, WSC Student Senate V ce-President; Deb Tosti, WSC Student Advisory Commission Repi tentative; Bruce Bishop, Bos- ton State College Student Goveri ment President; and Jimmy Steele, Framingham State College S udent Government President. These students, who had been work ng with the Student Advisory Commission to obtain as much infc rmation as possible, presented parts of the bill to those attending ind speculated on possibilities that were not clearly dealt with b) the legislation. Would Boston State and Mass. College ot Art be closed, as Harrington stated? Would campuses become specialized satel- lite schools of U Mass? Would our best faculty be transferred elsewhere? How much, if any, money would be saved? Why was no long-range study of re-organization done before filing legisla- tion ' J Would a degree that says University of Massachusetts State College at Westfield be more prestigious? WSC President Randolph, at a faculty meeting, took the opinion that Harrington ' s bill was a fait accompli and there were clear advantages for WSC in it. Yet he could not address the student ' s questions. The faculty was split on re-organization. Those who favored the bill could not answer the questions either, although they saw advantages from their faculty viewpoint. Those who opposed were asking main of the same questions as the students. As the 1975 Legislative Session drew to a close, Sen. Harrington, sensing rising opposition, withdrew his re-organization bill. The matter did not (lie there, however, as a slightly different version of the bill was to surlaee early in 1976. 26 Special Ed. Honors Skinski Despite initial opposition, an all-day special education seminar was successfully held at WSC on December 3, 1975. The Semi- nar featured lectures by various people in the education field, discussion groups, films, demonstrations, displays and a cocktail hour. Committee members were Kathy Alward, Debbie Bennet, Cin- dy Constantino, Sue Czelusniak, Louann Denny, Patti Howden, Cheryl Koncas, Janis McMahon, Susan Pyra and also members of the Career Education and Guidance classes. Tom Stanton and Nancy Zacek were co-chairpersons and Mr. Dewey McGowen, Special Education instructor, was faculty advisor. At the end of the seminar, Dr. Edward Skinski, a former special ed. instructor, was presented with an award. When asked about the seminar, Anne-Marie Batten had this to say: The seminar was excellent. All the people involved, stu- dents, faculty, and speakers alike, were very enthusiastic about the seminar. There was a warm, personal feeling radiating about the place. We are planning other seminars. WSC needs them and everyone should get involved. The seminar was intel- lectually stimulating. It was great! 27 Harvest Ball Breaks Tradition The Harvest Ball, traditionally spon- sored by the Junior class, broke some traditions in 1975. Rather than an open bar, couples en- joyed a sit-down roast beef dinner at ( !hez Josef. Rather than 60s and 70s rock music, dancers tried to jitterbug and even fox- trot to music of the 30s and 40s. Many of the couples who did attend were disappointed in the musical perfor- mance. The attendance at the ball was limited, perhaps due to financial worries and lack of the ever-popular open bar. But for many of the couples who did attend, the evening was a total success. 1 tim ' I ft 1A ♦ W Happy Hour V J I B jsj£i J? ■•f j pG -i EJ j y W OT 3 V fcTTfar ' jr: ] On November 25, 1975 Beaver Brown pro- vided the entertainment for the Happy Hour. The red glow of the lights, the checkered ta- blecloths, dancing and of course the beer cre- ated a perfect atmosphere for letting it all hang out after the tedious chore of registra- tion earlier that day. The entire event was co-sponsored by the Stu- dent Union Special Events Committee and the Student Union Concert Committee. jBBW JHtfc Bwl lApp l = = = = Special Stories In the next six pages you will find special stories .

Surprised? The pleasures and perils of dorm life are well-chronicled, but the travelling portion of WSC ' s population is often neglected. Commuting to school means leaving home in plenty of time to get around traffic, find a parking place (a story in itself!), and walking from there to classes. In the winter, there are icy roads to contend with, and snow drifts to dig around and out of. Commuters have two main places to congregate while wating for their next class, meeting, or whatever; Bates caf or the Student Union. Bates caf enthusiasts don ' t like to walk all the way to the S.U., while many Unionists liken Bates to a dungeon. There are often complaints that com- muters don ' t get involved. As often, commuters complain that student orga- nizations don ' t serve their needs. One thing to remember is that many students commute to school and then directly to work. These added responsibilities don ' t leave much time for many extra-cur- ricular activities. A special breed of commuters are those who rent apartments in several of the complexes around Westfield. Places like Squire Village and Fairview have be- come off campus dormitories, with whole rows of apartments rented to stu- dent and an open-door, open party at- mosphere existing. Other commuters are married, live with parents, or rent houses. Some own cars, ride busses, or depend strictly on thumb. Commuters ' ' takes in a whole popula- tion of individuals — essential to WSC ' s personality. 14 Commuters Going Up! During the 1975-76 academic year, WSC students have stood by and watched the slow but steady growth of the newest living quarters on campus. Opening in the fall of 1976, the new apartments will house 288 students. Run by Gary Hodge with several R.A. ' s under him, the apartments are set up with two doubles and two singles surrounding a central kitchen and living room. The students living here do not have to join the meal plan. In fact, Mr. Hodge is looking into the possibility of starting a food co-op at the apartments. The students would be able to buy food, pots and pans and other essentials at discount prices. Originally, the new apartment complex was supposed to house married students on campus. When asked why this arrangement fell through, Ms. Cridler-Smith said that when the new dorm was being planned, married students were polled and asked if they could afford the apartments. The answer was no. The price of building a single apartment with bath and kitchen facilities would be too great. Ms. Cridler-Smith added: I ' m excited about the apartments. It ' s a new and totally different life style on campus. I ' m anxious to see how it works out here at Westfield State. 36 Miss Julie August Strindberg ' s one act play, Miss Julie, opened WSC ' s fall theatre season. The play, directed by David Gosselin, deals with the relationships be- tween an upper class Sweedish woman, her servants, and the townspeople who resent her. Mary Lee Frazier effectively por- trayed the independent Miss Julie who was raised like a man. Reginald Au- brey was equally convincing as Jean. The pleasant set design and costumes rounded out the evening ' s entertain- ment. 1 1 3 JL ' I Jn J HaJJO itr X 18 No Exit, a one-act play by the French philosopher, novelist, and playwright Jean-Paul Sartre, was directed and staged by Reginald T. Aubry and the Footlighters dra- ma club in the Fall semester 1975. Acting in the production were Darlene O ' Connor (Inez), William Walsh, Jr. (Garcin), Jeanne Sher- man (Estelle), and Tara Stepanian (The Servant). The design was en- vironmental, that is, the audience was arranged to be part of the physical setting, thereby affecting the actors and vice-versa. No Exit is generally considered to be the existentialist play. It con- tains many of the ideas prevalent in the philsophy of atheistic exis- tentialism as proposed by Sartre. A newspaper editor, a society girl, and a working-class lesbian have died, and find themselves brought together in a hotel room that is supposedly Hell. As the play pro- gresses, one sees that it is not the hot room that they are in that makes this a place of torture, but the presence of each other. As Gar- cin sums it up at the climax; Hell is — other people! ' ' They realize that they will be there for eternity, to torture themselves and each other with their own cruelty and weaknesses. No Exit Why Was I Born If It Wasn ' t Forever? H -A. | 1 J I HI K. B Ipm8 ■v B | 40 The absurdity and meaninglessness of human life is the theme of the Footlighters first major dramatic production of the fall semester. Eugene Ionesco ' s Exit the King, under the direction of Robert Lehan, centers around the dying King Bergnger I. The dying king, played convincingly by Edward Beck- man, cannot understand why he who once had control of life and nature, who had operated outside the law, now finds himself within the inevitable truths of that law. Lending outstanding support to Beckman were Karen Crawford as Queen Marguerite, Sue Laramee as Queen Marie, A.J. Morin as the doctor, Karen Balchunus as Juli- ette and Paul Adams as the Guard. Intramurals 44 -A m9 Intramural competition was once again prominent during the fall semester at WSC. Sever- al hundred students joined to- gether in a spirit of competition to form teams. Several hundred more students actively followed each game. k Several players were injured due to over zealous competition and amateur ability. However, for the most part, intramurals provided exercise and enjoyment for a large segment of the college communi- ty- 46 fWESTFIELP STATE WELCOMES ALL PARTICIPANTS IN FIRST. j L ACU MR Hwwj BrOURr Air Hockey WESTFIELP STATJ WELCOMES Ll PARTICIPANT FIRST ANNUAL A(i TOVJH WESTFIELP STATE The WSC winter trackmen completed a productive season finishing ninth out of 21 in the Eastern Intercolle- giate meet, dominating such names as Worcester State, Springfield College, MIT and Boston State. Of all the colleges in New England, Westfield has three of the top six sprinters, including Kenny Hughes, Randy Boyce and Bernie Webly, who finished third, fourth and fifth respectively, in the 50-yard-dash. Westfield ' s scoring was completed in the Easterns with a strong third place finish from freshman Rus Bosback in the triple jump at just 45 feet. Coach Gravel said the highlight of the season was Hughes ' s fourth place finish in the 50-yard-dash in the New England ' s. This marks the second time that West- field has placed there. Bernie Webly s stunning perfor- mance in the 50-yard-dash earlier in the season broke a 47 year old New England record at 5.2 seconds. The dedicated and equally talented trackmen broke a few records and made a healthy run at others. Naturally, Webly ' s performance was a school mark. Four WSC heros, Joe Spitz, Kevin Dalton, Tom Vodser and Paul Ferreira, combined to set the two-mile-relay record at 7:55.4. Several Freshmen were in a bit of the spotlight. Bos- back set a record in the triple jump, Sean McDonough set the school mark in the shot put at 44 feet 11 inches. Along with his record in the two-mile-relay, Vodser set an indoor 880 record at 1:58.4 making him seventh in New Eng- land. Kevin Dalton, a junior and a hardworking leader of the team, took 39 seconds off of his own two mile time, finishing just two seconds short of the school record. It should prove rewarding to keep an eye on the team this spring season as they try for their third consecutive Mass. State College Track Championship.

Unfortunately the team was defeated by Babson College by a score of 2-1 in the first round of the NCAA Tourney. Despite this, the team was rated eighth in New England at the season ' s close. Several records were broken through- out the season. Allie Goncalves broke two records boosting the records for most points and most assists during a career to 111 and 52 respectively. Den- nis Dugas established a new record by scoring in 13 consecutive games. The team shut out its opponents in 10 games, also a new record. As usual, several WSC players re- ceived recognition for their outstanding skill: Most Promising Freshman: Dennis Duarte. Best Defense: Steve Mancini, Tony Ribeiro. Best Offense; Allie Gon- calves, Dennis Dugas. Department Award: Steve Mancini. Coaches Award: Steve Mancini.

Tiresome? Yes! But for the team mem- bers it was worth it just to be able to say WE ' RE NUMBER ONE STATE CHAMPIONS Although the baseball team was scheduled to play 22 games during the full season, they ended with a 7-7 record. The eight games not played were either cancelled or rained Springfield College, U. of Maine, Western New England College and U. Mass were among the colleges on the team ' s schedule. The team ' s hard work and determination didn ' t end at the close of fall semester, however, the baseball team continued to prac- tice during the semester break in order to be ready for a successful spring .1 1 5 V G ' BASEBALL ! I P? nor W  • m ' ■ VHHI ■Hi r «■! • 55? JK W • «• V V ■ mfc s 4 «- - T The WSC hockey team this year compiled a record of 6-13-1. To the casual observer, this would not be rated as a successful season; but anyone realizing the financial crunch affecting the 2 year old team could see that this feat was not easily accomplished. The statistics are fairly balanced in the Goals For (68) and Goals Against (76) columns. Coach Holubowitch attributes this to fast skating and good passing ability as well as the team playing what he calls a good head man game. The largest scoring threat for WSC was freshman Richie Hamel, the teams leading scorer. Goalies for the year were Curt Everett and Bob McGee who together combined for a 4.3 goals against average. (Story by Beth Caruso from the OWL) The WSC Basketball team lived up to its reputation of being a fast- moving, quick-shooting power- house. The team chalked up a re- cord of 15-9 and made it to the Western New England Tourna- ment. 72 U. of Maine 57 Boston State 85 Fitchburg City Classic 85 West.

The team had to play three quarters of the season without star returner, Lou Ann Simchak. Nevertheless, the team managed to score close to 1500 points as a team in only 17 games. Led by Debbie Grzyb, Kerry Hines, Louise Beig and freshman Bev Carter, the team played in the post sea- son state tournament losing in the semi- finals to Fitchburg State. Their final re- cord was 14 wins and 3 losses.

PhMMQ A special event run by the dorm W council was the dedication ceremony in which the new dorm became Lammers Hall. Theresa Lammers was the guest J of honor, and the day was quite successful. At Halloween there was a pumpkin carving contest and Christmas time was again brightened by the suite decorating contest. Decorated suites ran the gamut from Santa ' s workshops to the Twelve Days of Christmas to a Toy Store Window which won first 1 prize. A Little Sisters reception and ™ parking lot dance were two other enjoyable activities. Dorm council had much work to do as well. The alcohol policy was revised, the Consitution was distributed and ratified by dorm dwellers and the Judicial Board was active. A Special Activties Fund was established with profits from a raffle. Purchases made by the Dorm council were weights, a sewing machine and sports equipment. For dorm council members at Lammers Hall, there is never nothing to do . 66 DICKINSON X The dorm council of Dickinson Hall was very active this year as it sponsored and planned many events. The dorm spon- sored a campus-wide dance, breaking up T the monotony of at least one dull WSC weekend. However, most of the events planned by the dorm council benefitted Dickinson residents only. The dorm sponsored a Christmas party and as end-of-the-year party for the residents. At Halloween, the dorm council con- ducted a Halloween costume contest, awarding prizes to the most original and best costumes dorm residents could come up with. Christmas time found the council trying to improve the atmosphere of the dorm by organizing a door decorating contest. Finally, during the final week of the semester, the dorm council provided free coffee, tea and hot chocolate to the residents to help them make it through that all-night-studying-for-finals week. r m?

The Dorm Council also instituted a dormitory scholarship for underclass residents of Scanion Hall. The recipient must be a freshman, sophomore or ju- nior who has lived in Scanion for one year and who intends to live in Scanion the following academic year. Selection is based on contributions to the Scanion Hall community. The funds for the scholarship are raised through Dorm Council special projects. Thus far, bake sales have proven successful in raising the necessary funds. One scholarship of $100 is already available. Unfortunately, Scanlon ' s present pari- etal policy (24 hr. weekends, noon — 12:30 a.m. weekdays) has remained un- changed since last year. Twenty-four hour parietals 7-days a week did not receive the necessary two-thirds major- ity vote. sW h scanlon hall executive board 3l 1 4 jB President: Paula J.

The 1975 Christmas party was one of the dorm ' s larg- est events. It was also one of the last times the Com- mons room was used. Due to a collapsing roof, the Commons room was closed the second half of the year. Repairs started in February but were not completed by the end of the semester, depriving residents of a valuable gathering place. But true to form, the ingenious residents of Davis Hall found other things to occupy their time. One kind- hearted soul spent one evening cleaning up the laundry room when someone else ' s washer overflowed. Another resident spent most of his free time cleaning out his hamster ' s cage, and a third utilized his extra time helping El. Ed. majors with their motivational devices. No, Davis Hall is not all parties. The residents of Davis try like everyone else to make life there a little easier. Davis has perhaps the most creatively decorated rooms on campus. There are strobe lights, fish nets, hanging beds, and some of the best stereo units on campus. Davis-ites are so creative! It ' s absolutely amazing what they can do with empty beer cans and a little masking tape. Yes, the parties at Davis Hall are unique, but more importantly, the people at Davis Hall are unique.

The club enjoyed a very successful year with in- creased student participation. The Out- ing club is out almost every weekend enjoying the outdoor scene rain or shine. Some of the more memorable trips this year included a three day camping trip to the White Mountains in New Hamp- shire, canoeing at Tolland State Forest, backpacking along the Appalacian Trail in Connecticut, an overnight at the Ap- palacian Mountain Club farmhouse at Noble View, crosscountry skiing at Shaker Farms Country Club and climb- ing various mountains including Mt. Te- koa. The Outing club is responsible for the maintenance of a twelve mile segment of the Metecomet Trail which runs from Connecticut to Mount Monadnock New Hampshire. in This year, as usual, many of the ex- change students joined us on our various outings and it is hoped the practice will continue.

Many French movies by such writers as Moliere and Ionesco were presented to the entire college community through the assis- tance of the French Club. All the activities help acquaint the club members with French cul- ture. lovanni rienced was accom- many other movies were Under the Cringed, the some changes ished this year than in previous years.

Peeping Toms watch windows hoping to see something — especially something that they shouldn ' t see. I start off this way because I want to establish things in a proper perspective. It is important to under- stand that when I happened to look out my window and just hap pened to spot this beautiful girl in a nightgown sitting at her dresser and combing her hair in her bedroom, I was not hoping to see anything of the kind; in fact, I hadn ' t expected to see much more than a dark sky that evening with a moon and a couple of stars all shining down on the rooftops of the tiny suburb where I live. Rut there she was. I ' m sure she hadn ' t purposely left her shade up or the light on her bed. Her window faced away from the street and, as my room is also in the back of the house (which is behind hers), I naturally saw her window when I looked out mine From George E.

This year, the orga- nization surpassed all records of activity and has had perhaps the most productive and busiest year since it was created. This year they joined the Association of Human- istic Psychology. Members attended WMPS Con- ference at Berkley Community College and also participated in the North Eastern Psychotherapy Association Conference. Closer to home, the club purchased additional biofeedback equipment to be used by the depart- ment. Club members conducted teacher evalua- tions within the psychology department and pub- lished a newsletter entitled Massachusetts Stu- dent Psychological Society. The club sponsored the annual Psych symposium, this year entitled Women in Psychotherapy with Dr. Anna Brodsky. Members of the club also participated in the dedication of Wilson Hall. Members of the club have spent a great deal of time doing volunteer work in the area. The club ran the Adopt-a-Grandparent program. They were involved with training sessions of volunteers for the beginning of a Crisis Hotline which will be starting soon in co-operation with the Psychol- ogy Department. Students also visited North- ampton Hospital on a weekly basis. Two speakers appeared on campus. Dr. R. John- son of the Medfield Foundation spoke on Hyp- nosis and June Gutterman of the Goodwill In- dustry who spoke on Milieu Therapy . Two WSC students presented an original paper at the Eastern College Science Conference in April. The Psychology Club now has their own office located in the Counselling Center in Wilson Hall. 7 PHOTO CLUB The membership of the photography club doubled this year, and the clubs main activities included fixing old equipment and buying new materials.

Yes, there are five theatres at WSC, but the one most likely to be forgotten is the Reader ' s Theatre, especially this year. Originally formed out of Phil Sheperd- son ' s Oral Interpretation course, this year has been mainly an organizational year for The Reader ' s Theatre. This year members have spent time getting ready for productions to be presented for next year. According to Phil Sheperdson, members are not actors or actresses. Rather, they are intermediaries between the autho r and the audience. These intermediaries read prose, poetry and drama relating to one theme to create a personal exper- ience for the listener. The Reader ' s The- atre uses theatrical devices, setting, lights, etc., however, the performers read, they do not act. The Reader ' s Theatre is a relatively new form of theatre on campus which is sure to grow. The purpose of the Radio Theatre is to provide entertainment and educational programs through radio dramas, mysteries, documentaries, talk shows and other forms of radio entertain- ment to the college community. Director Tony Gillyan remarks: The entire aim of the group is not to resurrect the past glory of Golden Radio. The concern lies in radio variety not provided through the bombardment of con- temporary music. ' ' The success of this past fall ' s programming stemmed from Radio Theatre ' s Summer Work- shop in 1975. Actors from several different cities and towns represented universities and colleges while performing in a small number of radio dramas. mn nm a imtmni C President: Reggie Aubry r 2j5 Advisor: Phil Sheperdson n 82 Membership is opened to all interested in devel- oping radio variety. 1977 proposes college syndi- cation of radio variety all over the United States.

Even though it is one of the newest clubs on campus, enthusiasm is mounting rap- idly. Not only does the club assist stu- dents in becoming qualified for a pri- vate pilot (glider) rating, it also affords lessons at half price. As advisor Bob Lehan states: If one wants to learn to fly, this is the time. It will never be this cheap again. The Students International Meditation Society is an organization providing ex- perience and background in the tech- nique and philosophy of Transcendental Meditation. Regular practice of Tran- scendental Meditation may enable a person to enjoy living in the sustained freedom of increasing achievement and fulfillment. The technique is as ancient as mankind and universal in its applica- tion. Gay Alliance The Gay Alliance was established at WSC in order to pro- mote an atmosphere of support and acceptance of all sexual preferences at WSC. The Alliance consists of concerned bi- sexual, heterosexual and gay students and faculty who are trying to promote support and understanding of alternative lifestyles. The Alliance, formerly known as the Sexual Itentity Aware- ness Organization, has participated in speaking engagements on this campus and at various other colleges. The Gay Alli- ance has also provided a hotline for gay and bisexual stu- dents. It also serves as a resource for S.E.C.S. training sessions and various referal services for organizations on campus. In co-operation with other organizations on campus, the Gay Alliance helped to bring Jill Johnson, leading lesbian, femi- nist, activist and author, to speak at WSC. The Alliance is also planning to sponsor a weekend of gay issues, music, poetry, artwork and workshops this spring. 84 S.E.C.S. S.E.C.S. is a Sex Education and Counseling Service available to the students at WSC. The purpose of this group is to offer counseling to fellow students and also to dispense information to the students concerning sex education. The counselors can help the students by answering questions or by helping the student to solve a problem that they might have. . ■ ? f S.E.C.S. is staffed by student counselors who have volunteered their services because they want to help meet the needs of their fellow stu- dents. Each counselor has completed intensive training in the areas of human sexual biology, venereal disease, contraception, problem preg- nancies, abortion, and social attitudes. The coun- selors have supervision and support from quali- fied members of the Counseling Service. Coun- selors are availabe to the students at any time.

Alpha Psi Omega attempts to bring to campus those speakers that will most benefit the theatre major. The chapter also organizes coloquiums relating to special theatrical subjects. Each year the Westfield Theatre Company produces two major productions and from four to six theatre workshop productions directed by either the faculty or the students. The Company offers all students the opportunity to participate in local dramatic productions. The Com- pany is essentially a producing organization which trains novice actors, directors, and theatre technicians. Experience is not a prerequisite for membership. The only requirements are a genuine interest and willing- ness to work. The Company ' s determination and en- thusiasm has revitalized an interest in drama on cam- pus. 86 Educators The Student Council for the Exceptional Child is dedicated to serve in any way possible those chil- dren who need special attention. SCEC spon- sored a dance marathon, all profits from which benefitted the March of Dimes. SCEC also plans lectures and seminars which greatly add to the overall education of the special education major. Lisa Hardy, clinical nursery teacher brought in materials actually used in a special classroom. The major event of the year was the all-day Special Ed. Seminar which took place in December. Kappa Delta Pi is an organization which serves the education major. Unfortunately, this year was an uneventful one on the whole for Kappa Delta Pi. The society sponsored only two major events this year. Peter Mazza spoke to the group concerning alternatives for the un- employed teacher. The club also sponsored a jelly bean contest all proceeds of which went to charity. £J President: Linda Mouthrope j|£ J Vice Pres.: Marylou Connor S£j 87 History Buffs History Club £ President: Beth Jesen EJ Vice Pres.: Stanislaus 3|j Skarzynski £j Secretary: Dennis Rogers J f Treasurer: Kathleen Burns Advisor: Martin Kaufman £j President: Theresa A.

Kappa Omicron began the 1975-76 college year with a special gathering to celebrate its tenth anniversary. In addition to its regular meetings, the chapter also held monthly open discussion groups on the Problems in History and inducted new members in distinctive bi-annual ceremonies which featured distinguished guest speakers. Furthermore, Kappa Omicron participated in outside activities of Phi Alpha Theta, which included the Regional Conference in May at Stonehill College at which 5 WSC students read papers, and sent two delegates in December to the International Convention in Atlanta where they attended meetings and also presented papers. 88 f Director: Tony Gillylan L +!l Ass ' t.

The club em- ploys the talents of many students in order to accomplish its task. Campus news programs are provided by the talented production club members. Sports coverage and campus news provide the journalism majors of the commu- nications department at WSC with practical experience in conjunction with classroom in- struction. 89 WSKB, 91.5 FM is on the air seven nights a week providing entertain- ment to the campus. Music, radio the- atre and news are aired nightly. As a result of their experience with WSKB, several WSC students have secured jobs in professional radio. This year, WSKB has expanded and has begun to use ABC news on the air along with regular campus news. With the arrival of WWED via carri- er current, Phil Shephardson, advisor to WSKB, expects expansion of the radio proram.

On March 29, Mary Gilmore, president of the MTA, lectured to a crowd of stu- dent teachers and education majors at Juniper Park Auditorium. Ms. Gilmore candidly expressed her views on the teacher job market, over-crowded class- rooms, standardized testings and the leg- islature ' s attitude toward education. Sponsored by the Student National Edu- cation Associatio n, the Gilmore lecture was only one among many events planned by SNEA this year. Mock inter- views, reading seminars and lectures highlighted the year for those students interested in education. Seniors The Bicentennial Class has co-ordinated many events to make this year a memorable one. Sen- iors had many Days parties to look forward to, along with the Senior Ball and a very successful Plant Sale. So that the Class of 1976 will not be forgotten, a Bicentennial Garden has been de- signed and planted near Wilson Hall. The class of 1976 will remain in bloom forever. i n : , £ - 1 i | Senior Reps: Rosanne Vecchairello, Ed J Healy, (Steph Wiecek) Advisors: Dr. Bettv Harris, Dr. Patrick Ro- 4JJJ President: Daryl Brooks V.

The Junior class controls most of the major clubs and organizations on campus. The top execu- tive Student Senate positions were held by members of the Junior class. John Mahoney and Steve Goulet chaired the presidential and vice presidential seats respectively. Carole Garvey was treasurer and Kathy Kelleher was secretary. The class of 77 is in control of many of the major organiza- tions on campus. Sheila Mahan was president of WOA, Doug Awrey and Darlene Murphy were co-presidents of SECS. Mike Kirby represented WSKB. Joe Bennet ' s dual tasks were Third World and TV Production. Jean and Joan Moura ran SUSEC. Lori Letendre and Elizabeth O ' Neill were editors- in-chief of the two major literary productions, The Owl and TEKOA. Ann London was in charge of Freshman Orienta- tion. When asked why he thinks members of the Junior class have offered so much to the college, John Mahoney stated: From the time we came, the Juniors seemed to have the largest number of people who were willing to do the work that needed to be done. 97 Class of 78 President: Lisa Moody Vice Pres.: Dennis Brady Treasurer: Kathy Shea Secretary: Mary Bradley ££ Senate Beps.: Bon Gerwatowski f ?ft Pattv Harvey %r 1 5 Besides the Sophomore sponsored dance, the class set up several carnation sales during the year in both the Commuter ' s caf and Scanlon.

Besides participating in both the Glassboro State College Jazz Festival in New Jersey and the Lowell State College Jazz Festival, the ensemble has travelled extensive- ly throughout Massachusetts. One of the highlights of the year for the Jazz Ensemble was performing at the Meeting of the International As- sociation of College and University Presidents. The Jazz Ensemble also sponsored three very successful con- certs by Count Basie, Woody Her- man and Maynard Ferguson. STBING ENSEMBLE Compared to the other musical groups on campus, the String En- semble has had a relatively un- eventful year. The seven member ensemble accompanied both the Men ' s and Women ' s Glee clubs at their two concerts at Juniper Park studio. )H 7 • 100 I v.

However, after a quick set and tuneup, the band swung into several jazz pieces. They played several cuts from their Grammy winning albums, and were brought back by applause for an encore. Tenure Is A Student Issue Despite the fact that the outcome of the tenure session was predicted by faculty and students alike prior to the actual hearings, students picketed to show support for Ms Denny. Students maintained a vigil throughout both tenure sessions. One supporter of Denny stated: Marilyn Denny is a victim of sexism because she is an assertive, intelligent woman. Denny was one of the only two negative tenure reco- mendations, the other being Mrs. Elizabeth Graves. Administrative action seems to in- dicate their feelings that such women should be silenced. 4 TENURt is n STUDENT , ISSUE-. TENURE WEAPON RHNDOLPH - EXECUTIONER!

Gregory spoke of a food crisis he predicted would hit in the summer of ' 76, criticized America as running on a white, racist system, and warned women to pass the ERA as an appropriate Bicentennial celebration. He spoke extensively on several sub- jects and the SRO crowd responded with a standing ovation. There ' s A Little David Frye April Fool! The overflow crowd in Wilson Auditorium expected to see a well-known comic by the name of David Frye on April 1 at 8:00. However, they were entertained by Rodney Dangerfield, Rod Steiger, Henry Fonda, George C. Scott, Walter Cronkite, Billy Graham, and many other Americans. Frye imitated, satirized, and parodied entertainers and politicians for 50 minutes, during which time the audience only stopped laughing to catch the punch lines. Obviously tired by his performance, Frye left the center of the room to a thunderous standing ovation. He re- turned immediately explaining that his work was in good fun, and non-partisan. He ended by taking the still-chuck- ling audience to tears by tribute to Martin Luther King, and Robert Kennedy. 1 .

From the moment he arrived, James Dickey was the source of much entertainment. The author of Deliv- erance lived up to his reputation of being a rough-and-ready outdoorsman. An eager crowd awaited Dickey at Wilson Auditorium, and he didn ' t disappoint them. Dickey read some of his poetry, spoke about his role in the movie Deliver- ance and read the last scene of his new screenplay. James Dickey will not soon be forgotten at WSC. ammmmmm 8 Lambda Members ' 75- ' 76 President: Darlene O ' Connor Vice Pres.: Doug Walsh Gala-Ann Mariani Diane Germani Elizabeth O ' Neill Lori Letendre Mark Ulianna New Members Donna Cambell George Chartier Sheila Mahan Maryanne Labbatte 1 1 1 1 9 Basil Payne, an Irish poet, delighted audiences with his poetry readings, discussions, and lectures of Ireland and Irish literature (Pics above and below) r i H f p PJ . 1 MM 9 1 r mtmimtmnmmm no One Of The President ' s Men On May 3, 1976 a standing room only aud ience gathered at Wilson Auditorium to listen to John Dean. The crowd listened to Dean, an advisor to former President Richard Nixon and a star witness at the Watergate hearings, discuss the infamous bugging of the Democratic Headquarters during the 1972 Presidential campaign. Dean recapped his involvement from the first mo- ment of his knowledge of the incident, through the cover-up, his testimony at the hearings and finally to his release from jail a year ago. Dean then opened the last half hour of the session to questions from the audience. This well-attended and well-presented lecture was sponsored by the Economics Society. Ed.

According to Sheila Mahan, The pur- pose of Women ' s Week is to increase awareness on campus of the changing problems, objectives, goals and direc- tions of women and to provide women with the opportunity to become familiar with the Women ' s Organization and to explore some of their own changing needs. In order to do this, WOA sponsored many seminars, workshops and lectures. Among those were, Becoming More As- sertive and The Future of Marriage conducted by Leah Stern and Marilyn Denny. WOA also sponsored Liberty Stand- ing and excellent rock band. 112 WccW ar -Vo beaf 5|o™booK]l0 The haV-Mo ' s Wife is very happy -loKave helped KaV cakhahusb™ Fficm fW Rmps +q Follow : ivr.

Many people devoted many hours trying to provide a variety of events for students on campus. Accord- ing to Festival Chairman, Dave Brezina, the Fine Arts Festival brought the arts to a culturally sterile campus. The opening ceremonies included the judging of the Student Art Show by Christopher Horton and Peter McLean from the U. of Hartford and a perfor- mance by the Highlanders Marching Band. Other scheduled events included performances by the Wind Philhar- monia, the Clarinet Consort, the Jazz Band, the Otheon Ensemble and the ever-popular Ken Manzer. The Festival also included six showings of Last Tango in Paris, an evening of films with Hal Stanton and Kenyon Martin and the Na- tional Mime Theatre. All events added to the over-all success of the Festival. m : 8 Chairman: Dave Brezina Treasurer: Tina Naoum Opening Events Chairman: Stefan Nowak and Mark Ulianna Film: John Dougan Theatre: Joyce Cabral Music: Emily Squires Advisor: Donald Ford 114 115 Third World — Black Culture Week The purpose of the Third World Organi- zation is to promote interracial under- standing and airing of views, to encour- age social activities among the member- ship and the college community, to pro- vide information on the black exper- ience to the college community and to conduct programs which will carry out the above purposes. This year the Third World Organization held a Black Culture Week. Julian Bond appeared on campus to a standing room only crowd in the Third World Room. Third World also helped to sponsor Dick Gregory who appeared spring semester on campus. 116 117 •J Jj J +te) f 1 ft ft o Sponsored by the Physical Education club, Superstars enabled many students to compete against one another in a spir- it of lighthearted competition. Among the winners were: Pam Keene, Susie Verones, Nancy Clark, Holly Garvey, Butch Lamagdeline, Bobby Swat, Sean McDonough, and Don Salvail. Don Salvail thought Superstars was run well considering it was the first year anything like it had occured. Next year it should be much better. Ted Volrath On the first day of spring weekend the Third World and Student Union Lecture Society Co-sponsored a demonstration of Black Belt Karate. Although karate is popular and almost common at WSC, this demonstration was anything but. Ted Volrath showed off his skills from a wheelchair, providing a unique and memorable experience for the audience. RATHSKELLER LOUNGE ONLY NSC STUDENTS FACULTY ADI I ALUMNI 6UESTS OURS OF OPERATION 5-12 PM S-11 PM LAST CALL IU BE V HOUR ■ • TO CLOSING A dedicated group of students on the Student Union Rathskellar Committee opened a bar on campus spring semester 1976. Located in the bowling alley of the Student Union, the Rat was open on Saturday and Sunday nights At first, Sunday nights seemed especially marked by violence and troublesome rowdiness, however, so the bar was opened on Friday and Saturday nights. There was no end to smashed glasses, fights, excess noise and even campus destruction, though, so on Saturday, April 24 the Rathskellar closed completely. The Rathskellar served beer by pitcher and wine by the carafe Many students were emplo waiters, waitresses, bartenders security and cashiers. The hopeful possibilities for bar on campus are many Rathskellar Committee, although faced with a small defeat plan a successful year in 1977. $m Convocation April 21, 1976 On April 21, the seniors assembled for the first time in their caps and gowns. The Philharmonic Brass Ensemble ac- companied the senior and faculty pro- cessional with Two Airs for Cornet s and Sagbuts. Dr. Randolph opened the ceremony. Because of their dedicated service to the class of 1976, Daryl Brooks presented advisors Betty Harris and Pat- rick Romano with plaques. Dr. Robert Jackman distributed the Teacher Com- petency Awards to those students ob- taining a 4.0 average in student teach- ing. Following this was the presentation of the Wisdom and Merit Awards by Diane Deering, Vice-President of the class. Musical selections were provided by the WSC Chorale. After singing the Alma Mater, seniors, faculty and guests filed out to Sonata 22 from Hora De- •cima. For seniors, upcoming Com- mencement exercises filled their thoughts. 122 Will The Rain And Cold Dampen The Spirits Of Spring Weekend ' 76? Spring weekend . . . Probably the big- gest event of WSC ' s year, in terms of money spent, people involved, prepara- tion and participation. The Student Union Special Events Com- mittee and this year the Student Union Concert Committee spent months plan- ning the schedule of events, hiring bands, renting a stage, lights and plat- forms, buying beer and arranging meals. As the weekend drew closer, many com- mittee members were ready to move to another country to avoid headaches and hassles. As with all outdoor events, the final out- come depended on the weather. Friday of Spring Weekend ' 76, it poured rain. 123 ' .. - Jfof [ ; feJBMBB 124 The all-campus picnic moved to Scanlon caf. Bands moved to Dever and the S.U. Saturday dawned clear, if cool. Students, guests, and many Westfield town residents came to WSC to listen to the music and enjoy the party. No one has counted, but there is probably more alcohol consumed during spring weekend than at any other time during the year. Students plan and anticipate getting out of control . Unfortunately out of con- trol led to bonfires this year, most safe but at least one started with a Student Union picnic table. It also meant glass and trash covering the soccer field with some rate partyers taking great pleasure in smashing bottles on the field. There was also a great deal of indoor vandalism. Spring weekend is for the most part, idyllic sunny afternoons of music, blankets spread out, coolers, frisbees, kites and good fellow- ship. Except for the weather, the whole good time (as well as outdoor music and picnic meals, there were late night movies and a coffeehouse for non-drinkers) de- pends on people: S.U. Special Events Com- mittee members, S.U. Concert Committee members, Harvey Allen, and many un- named but invaluable workers. ' is i ■t N | 125 Memories... The evening of April 23, 1976 found many WSC students out of their usual attire of jeans and T-shirts and bedecked in beautiful evening gowns and handsome tuxedos. The annual Senior Ball was held this year at the Sheraton Inn in West Springfield. A cocktail hour in the courtyard was proceeded by a buffet supper. Entertainment followed as dancing continued until one. SENIOR PROM .

Many students were recognized for their service to the college as awards were distributed after dinner. This year tradition was broken as a senate politica disagreement cancelled the professor of the year award. The Student Senate Awards Banquet is funded mostlv with Student Activity fee funds, and so for a fairly nominal fee, the WSC community gets the opportunity for a roast beef dinner at Chez Josef. If all the awards are not of vital interest to all the participants, the dinner, dancing, and bar guarentee an exciting evening. RIGHT CENTER: Student Senate honors its own, especially retiring Pres.

Seniors attended the Sophomore-sponsored breakfast in West- field ' s best party mood. A few hours later, they would be sombre in black caps and gowns, receiving a paper signifying four years of work, sweat, and laughter. Daryl Brooks enjoined his class members to stand and aplaud their parents and friends who helped them through the college years. LaDonna Harris was awarded the first honorary Doctoral from WSC, in Public Service. She spoke of the intrinsic differences in human beings, and the great worth each has because of those differences. Doctor Randolph charged the graduates to Walk down the street of life with courage, objectivity to all life ' s problems and appreciation of country. I The Bachelor of Science degrees were left out in the formal conferring of degrees, so after B.S. candidates received their diplomas, they stood for their de grees. To the Coronation March from the Prophet and the George Washington Bicentennial March the former college students filed out of Symphony Hall. In the bright afternoon sunshine emotions again were high. Roses were given by parents and friends to graduates. Individ- uals anxiously surveyed the crowd for friends, parents, people they had to see for a minute . Each realized that these minutes on Symphony Hall stairs were possibly the last minutes as a group of college friends. In the bright sunshine, many-colored spring clothes, black gowns, wide smiles and some tears were almost too much to comprehend. T i- s  • - Special Stories M ■ mf wl i Student Senate Moves Out Although termed an uneventful year for the Student Senate, the Senate was never- theless faced with certain problems that had to be dealt with. The Senate discussed increases in both tuition and dorm rates and was also forced to deal with college budget cuts. Affirmative Action and reor- ganization also came up before them. The most public problem the Senate faced was that they were forced out of E316. The room was designed as a curriculum library and this year it was put to that use. Student Senate was forced to move and is now housed in the Scanlon Activity room. mn m: , . . nyi BHSfflLLL a J?!!iL - •i jffH I Catchin ' The Rays As if it were some ancient ritual, every spring as soon as the sun shines and the ground dries, people come out to worship the sun. Sun worshippers are of several kinds. There are those who frequent the established beach areas like Scanlon Hall roof, in back of Lammers Hall and the front of Davis. The least possible clothing is accepted here, and the scent of suntan preparations fills the air. Baseball games are played on sunny afternoons, and many fans find watching the games the perfect opportunity to catch some rays . Studies can ' t stop just because the sun is out, unfortunately, and so die-hard solar observers often go to great lengths to bring books, papers and even typewriters outside to accomodate both the sun and their professors. Of course, teachers aren ' t all anti-sun. Many classes can be seen in session in the Student Union courtyard and on the lawns around classroom buildings. In 1976, the weather was so accomodating, a group of male Lammers Hall residents decided to sleep outside. This was no rough camp out . . . beds from the dorm were brought out to make stacks 4-high. Good for studying, visiting, sleeping, and as conversation pieces. Spring semester at WSC? Here comes the sun ... r ■•  x tv r wm Wmrr $ i ■■■■■■■■ DIRECT INPOKMATION RELATED TO TRUTH AN IRRESPONSIBLE JOURNAL OP VJESTFIELD STATE COLLEGE As has happened several times in WSC ' s history, this year sprouted an under- ground or alternative newspaper. In the second issue readers were told that the editors and staff were remaining secret because the truth hurts ' . Readers were also informed that Dirt was mimeographed off on paper contributed personally by the editors because they felt so strongly the need for an alternate publication. Each Dirt edition was run off and handed out by individuals apparently concerned about its circulation. Articles included Win Abort TEKOA , warnings about bad pot being sold locally, national type news reprinted from other sources, and of course main anti-(college)- administration pieces. There were four editions of Dirt, plus a special edition on reorganization. By the end of its brief life, most students knew who produced Dirt. A staff member even released their names to us. However we have censored their pictures to protect whatever anonymity they feel they may have. 137 Shall We Dance? On the evenings of April 6 to 10 the Footlighters presented their second major production: Jean Anouilhs farce in three acts, The Waltz of the Toreadors. Director Frank E. Mello had a cast consisting of John Milligan (on loan from StageWest) as General St. Pe, Karen Crawford as Madame St. Pe, Sue Laramee as Mile. De Ste-Euverte, Sheryl Pollak and Jeanne Sherman as the two ugly daughters Estelle and Sidonia, Reginald Aubry as Dr. Bonfat, Darlene O ' Connor as Reginine the maid, David Rudert as Father Ambrose, Amy Demarest as Pamela the new maid, Gary Hebert as Gaston and Tara Stepanian as Mme. DuPont-Fredaine. It was the story of a crusty old general afraid to grow old, especially after waiting seventeen years to be with the woman he loves. He quickly finds he has lost his true love to his male secretary, who turns out to be his son. Although a hilarious farce, the Waltz offered sombre insights to life, love and growing old. The audience was enthralled, enlightened and entertained. 139 Children ' s Theatre Presents Jack And The Giant It was an impressive year for the WSC Children ' s Theatre. The group presented two major produc- tions this year, Jack and the Giant in the fall and You ' re A Good Man Charlie Brown this spring. The Children ' s Theatre group combined with the Musical Theatre Guild to produce their spring production. President: Trudi Pagones Vice Pres.: Monica Smith Sec. Treas.: Debbie Don Advisor: Wanda Cook fotma sim£m%x 140 Jack and the Giant, a delightful play, was well received by the college community. Professional Theatre Arrives At WSC Professional theatre has very much arrived at Westfield State College. Through the efforts of theatre professors Frank Mello, Robert Lehan and Phil Shepardson along with President Ran- dolph, a $9000 grant was awarded the WSC the- atre Department by the Roard of Trustees. As a result of this grant, WSC students now have the opportunity to learn from professionals at Stage West as part of their degree work. Westfield State is the only college in the system with such a professional exchange program. And one of the few on the East Coast. Also as professor Lehan noted, students can now gain professional the- atre training at state college fees. The exposure seems to have worked. Rarbara Godek, stage manager for the production, Waltz of the Torreadors , commented that there is more organization, a more mature ap- proach and more enthusiasm from everyone in- volved than she had ever noticed before. Several WSC students appeared in various Stage West performance. Lisa Grayton appeared in O ' Neil ' s Ah Wilderness and Odet ' s The Country Girl , Fred Morin in Shakespeare ' s The Tempest , and Jean Genet ' s The Balcony and David Gosselin in The Tempest . It is quite evident that this union with Stage West is now an important aspect of WSC theatre. Copy taken from The Owl. 141 You ' re A Good Man Charlie Brown On April 5, 6, and 8, the Children ' s Theatre and the Musical Theatre combined to bring the college musical production of You ' re A Good Man Charlie Brown. Under the direction of R.A. Patterson, the audience delighted in seeing Linus (Scott Gorman) tap dance to My Blanket and Me , Charlie Brown (Roman Alis) trying to fly The Kite , Lucy (Susan Rogers) dream of being Queen , Schroeder (Mike Staniunas) playing Beethoven, Patty (Nancy Archibald) forcing Snoopy to chase rabbits and of course the show stopper, Snoopy (Carol Ibbitson) singing about Suppertime with the chorus of friends (Cindy Belforti, Susan Malboeuf, Meg Cronin, Laura Ripley, Linda Nelson). Being one of the more delightful presentations this semester, You ' re A Good Man Charlie Brown received standing ovations all three nights from the audience. I M 1 a i W M 1 1 Intramurals Intramurals are run by staff members and students of the college. A large number of students are paid to officiate the many hundreds of games which are played. Intramurals are for the benefit of the entire college community. 146 Intramural sports have never been so widely uti- lized or so greatly appreciated as they were this year at WSC. Many students actively supported the various sports teams among which were foot- ball, volleyball, and Softball teams. Water polo and street hockey were especially appreciated in the spring semester. Competition among teams was fierce. However, this fierce determination to win caused complica- tions. Due to student lack of playing knowledge of some of the more popular sports, quite a num- ber of injuries, some more serious than others, have occurred this year. 147 = i J o - Q ' 4t The Big L ITW 5§ rlr 9 V 150 Although the team is improving 1976 was not a very impressive year for the Lacrosse team. Compiling a record of 3 wins and 7 losses, this is only the second year the team has been working with their coach. The growth process for any young team is slow, however, the devel- opment of the WSC team seems to be handicapped by leadership changes and an over-abundance of fighting while on the field. When asked if he felt the team would ever come alive, Mr. Bogan said that the team surely would but like any young team, it may take a while. 151 Baseball WSC ' s Baseball Team was the Mass State College Conference Champions for the second year in a row in 1976. Overall, the team finished 27-8. 152 3 r ■HHHiB 153 Gymnastics The WSC Women ' s Gymnastic Team made a very respectable showing in 1976, despite starting against the difficult obsta- cles of a very short pre-season training schedule and a change of coaches. Senior Nancy Clark was injured for most of the season. However she helped invaluably with management. Senior and captain Barb Northup was again the team ' s leading scorer. She performed exceptionally and her contributions in scores and team morale will be greatly missed. Three freshmen were added to the team this year: Sue Lehto, Carole LeBlanc and Mary Simone. Sophomores Laurie Drake and Donna Knipe again put on some fine performances. All of the underclass mem- bers of the team promise to improve stead- ily in their future seasons. The team ' s hard work and spirit could not have saved the season without Coach Joan Finn. Her hard work and dedication saved a season that could have been a loss. With only two weeks to train before the first meet, Miss Finn pulled the team to a 4-win, 4-loss record. Beauty Spring Track 1976 was another good year in Spring Track. Although the team placed third in the Mass. State College Con- ference Championships, 4 events were won by WSC runners. Bernie Webley won the 100 and 220 yd. dashes. Leonard Eddy won the 3 Jump, Gary Robidoux the Pole Vault, and the team of Webley, Neil Spellman, Jamie Connolly and Randy Boyce won the 440 vd. relay. In the Easterns, Westfield placed 15th, but Bernie Webley placed 3rd in the 100 yd. dash and 5th in the 220 yd. dash. 156 157 ©ifwsft ' V ©fflfe all wsc 9 Keene 7 wsc 20 U. Conn. 1 wsc 9 U.
