For ages uncountable I have been the silent guardian of Westfield and its river valley. From tl Bible was I christened. From my rugged summit the eyes of Indian chieftains scanned the surrounding lowlands. I have stood unchangeable while wild animal creatures and untamed human life roamed up and down the valley. Sternly I watched the invasion of the white man, and my heart could find no love for him. But he conquered impassable obstacles — dense forests gave way to his homelike houses; the red men became his friends; gleaming rails carried him fast across the miles; the power of the river whirled his mill-wheels; delicate wires flashed his invisible message to waiting friends; schools educated his children that they might work wonders in the ages to come. All this did I see the white man accomplish in the river valley. Slowly I grew to love the red man ' s white brother because of his mighty brain and creative power. Still I stand, the silent guardian of the valley and town. Suns rise and set again; flowers blossom and fade away; tides wash in and go out to sea; human life hums and is still; but I — I am steadfast — and in my heart dwells love for the well-being of my valley. I am Mount Tekoa — and the silent watcher. lilt even Bethlehem, and Etam, and Tekoa ' ' — II Chrom oab sent to Tekoa and fetched thence a wise woman.

May 25, 1984 A friend makes the world a little nicer. Someone who takes the time to listen and genuinely cares can make the road one travels that much easier. In our years at W.S.C. we have had the great distinction of having such a friend among us in Father John Dean. His everlasting kindness and thoughtfulness have set examples for us all, and will not soon be forgotten. His dedication to his work stems from his selfless humanitarian nature and his contributions are immeasurable. His message is simple and might be defined as to Open our hearts to our fellowman and give to them the love that is within us all. The class of 1984 will long remember this man of peace, love, and goodwill who has so positively influenced our lives. It is with great pleasure that we dedicate this yearbook to a person who has been a father, a teacher, and most of all a friend to us all. Father John Dean. Meeting freshman year . . .

Always you have been told that work is a curse and labour a misfortune. But I say to you that when you work you fulfill a part of earth ' s furthest dream, assigned to you when that dream was born, And in keeping yourself with labour you are in truth loving life. And to love life through labour is to be intimate with life ' s innermost secret. As you leave Westfield State College to embark on a wide variety of careers and advanced study, remember Gibran ' s message. Continue to work and study as you have during your undergraduate years so that in loving life you will con- tinue to demand of yourselves in order to achieve success. I am confident you will approach your careers with the same spirit of enthusiasm you have exhibited as a member of the College Community. As a whole we have benefitted from your presence. Your love of life was contagious; together we have grown. On behalf of the College Community I extend our very warm wishes for your continued success in all that you hope to accomplish. Your friend.

The highlight of the season was sophomore Mark Gal- lagher who won over the Canadian national champion. This victory allowed Mark to compete in the National Championship held in Los Angeles in which he received the bronze medal. Many members of the club showed improvements and the com- ing season is promising. 74 ■Mil h % , 75 Results (3-6) PQ H O O tin wsc OPP 28 Curry (A) 13 7 Nichols (H) 10 Plymouth State 40 6 Western Connecticut (H) 44 8 Mass.

The team is ex- tremely young with two-thirds of the members being new this season. The lack of experience and the problem of practice and game facilities were drawbacks to the overall program. As a second year team improvements were wit- nessed as the season passed and hopes for next year ' s season are running high. _J 1 a 3 , ■,_.■ jjp.i pip w:=?3 t3 4 i PA « «%M  A 91 VIA r7 § $ , $n 83 47 BR.

The team ' s talent included David Lima, the leading scorer with 14 goals and 7 assists; Mark Devaney, J defensive mainstay at sweeperback; and Rick Mueller, the acrobatic goalkeeper with 10 shutouts this season. Otrj- outstanding team members were Matt Cox, a great asset defensively, and Bart McCarthy who after missing the fir si games due to a knee injury, returned as a starting halfback. Three players on this year ' s team who made All-Conferen I were David Lima, Deigo Cruz, and Mark Devaney. Diego, a senior, was a forward and the second leading scorer wit!) goals and 7 assists. Unfortunately the Owls failed to win against rivals North Adams State and Salem State; but, they proved themsehjs with other significant victories such as a 3-0 win over Central Connecticut, who ranked 5th in N.E. Overall the tesja outscored its opponents 3 to 1 with 56 goals for and 18 goals against them. Although the team failed to make lb N.C.A.A. ' s, they still made it to the semi-finals of the E.C.A.C. tournament with a record of 5-2-0. The team ' s oveiil record remained 12-6-1. B.R. (L to R): D. McCarthy, T. Pina, P. Sweeney, B.

As a result of injuries to key players, especially to the number one solo player, the line up was constantly revised. This setback, along with the lack of ex- perience, hurt the team outcome in the MASCAC and the tourna- ments. Peter Gardner had an other outstanding year with the best overall win-loss record for the fourth year in a row. He won the award for the most outstanding player and the player who has con- tributed the most to W.S.C. ten- nis. Coach Bressor hopes the younger team members will gain more experience on the courts to improve the team overall for next year ' s season. B.R. (L to R): G. Johnson, M. Bertrand, M.

The season started off slow with many freshmen mem- bers on the team. In every meet Kel- ly Izbicki, Kathy Norton, and Ann Dever placed in the top half. Cap- tain Janet Pliska placed first or sec- ond in every meet. All the members will be returning next year as there were no seniors on the team.

With only two returning seniors, Gail Whitney and Denise Nugent, many players were inexperi- enced. Two of the team ' s outstanding players were freshman spiker Carol Ringer and sopho- more setter Julie Heher. The team ' s overall record was seven victories and eighteen losses. Several outstanding games included victories over North Adams State, Fitchburg State, Fra- mingham State, and Worcester State. At the MASCAC the Owls placed fourth out of nine teams. B.R.

Whitney, Mgr. R. Wesley 86 iLz. n With only one returning senior and just five returning players, this season could be classified as a rebuilding year. They pulled together and worked hard to make a strong nucleus for next year. Eight freshmen and six sophomores now account for the major- ity of the team. There were some positive aspects of the slightly better than .500 sea- son, as most of the losses were only by one goal. The inability to find the net was one of the weak points, but they ended on a high note as junior forward Kathy Cirone scored four goals in the last game against Plymouth State College, resulting in an overall team record of 8-7-1. Outstanding players were senior co-capt. Terri Eager, center back position, junior co-captain Colleen Donegan, and sophomore Kim Florek, strong at the midfield position. r x o 87 .•am o w RESULTS (20-5) wsc N.Y.

The team improved this season with the addition of several talented newcomers plus the desire and the experience of the second- and third-year players. Coach Kate Mullen claimed that the team had the best pre-enthusiasm in three years. -iaacXbH w O r r bd r r This season welcomed a new coach who proved to be excellent. Nearly half the team was seniors — they were the best players. Freshman Khanh Le proved to be a great asset to the team. Mike Henry and Gary Wallis greatly improved during the season. The season ' s record was 3 wins and 5 losses. Al- though the record does not demonstrate the tal- ent, this year ' s team had many excellent players and a fantastic coach. B.R. (L to R): M.

Sr. captain Brenda King showed great progress as an all-around competitor. Jr. exchange student, Joan Janssen, contributed solid performances con- sistently throughout the season. Returning soph. Gail Viscardi was also a solid competitor. Fr. Wendy Hietala, Wendy Casey, and Evie Maier showed excellent promise for their remaining years at W.S.C. The team is looking forward to a good start next year. O 2 GO H n GO B.R. (L to R): Coach A. Kantos, B. King(capt.). G. Viscardi. F.R. (Lto R): W. Hietala, E. Maier, W. Casey. Missing: J.

Some of the outstanding swimmers included Maureen O ' Sullivan and Jean McArdle, breast strokers, and Alfreda Pin- ter and Eileen Bent, butterfliers. Nancy Dougherty, the most improved swimmer, received the appreciation award at the Sports Picnic. Overall the team ' s record remained one victory and seven losses de- spite the strong swimmers on the team. In one of their best meets, the Owls suffered their hardest loss to UMass Boston with a score of 57 to 67. The team ' s season ended in victory as they defeated the University of Lowell.

It is the spirit of family and close friendship which makes Westfield State College a special place for all of us. It is that spirit that has made us most proud of our years here, and it is that spirit which will make us most proud in the years to come to say that we are alumni of Westfield State — Class of 1984!!

As Layout editor of this year ' s yearbook, I had a chance to be part of an important team. A team that created a book of memories for you, the class of 1984. Good Luck, and may all your hopes and dreams come true. Sincerely, Leslie O ' Brien, Layout Editor 193 As a Freshman, when I was appointed Editor-in-Chief of the TEKOA yearbook, I was both honored and excited. As Sophomore year progressed, I was confronted with decisions, questions, and problems that I had never been faced with before. The road to the success of this book was rocky at times and sunny at others. I stumbled many a time, learning from my mistakes as I went. I can only hope that you, the class of 1984, and Westfield State College will agree that this book is not only a collection of faces but also a book full of love and friends, friends that will last forever on the pages of TEKOA ' 84.
