Do you remember what a meathook was? The Caf. was changed into obstacle courses 3 or 4 times before we finally moved into the Apts. or off campus, 3 years later, as the case was to fend for ourselves. Of course you had to be careful of the 8 day old pudding with whipped cream that could break a window, but the Caf. was the social center in those days. Where else could you bump into your scoop from a Lammer ' s punch party — you know — the one you never thought you ' d ever see again, who had a girlfriend at UMass., in the same dorm as your boyfriend. We learned a lot that year. How to study, or lets write a 20 page paper in three hours and have it typed before morning. Thats when you first saw a real honest-to-goodness sunrise; only to fall asleep by 7:00 am and miss your classes. Thank God they invented the popcorn popper and hot pot, or we would have been lost. Then we became adjusted, joined intramurals or ran for Senate, and discovered the Library. We lived through finals and learned not to sell our books back to the book store. We also found out that our roommat e could be our best friend, and not just a new wardrobe. We got into our majors and into the RAT! Then late one summer we returned to W.S.C. as Seniors. It got scarey you couldnt ' even spell the word resume, never mind write one: so off to Career Planning and Placement for HELP!! Then you went to the Registrar what do you mean I ' m 4 credits short? . . . but I don ' t want to take ballet and weight training T, TH 1st and 2nd . . . and they ' re not offering Calculus 3 this fall! Then we became a class, the Class of 1 985!! We saw so many changes here, almost all of them good, with a few exceptions that needn ' t be mentioned. It was a year! not half as much rain as freshman year and Lammers field wasn ' t a lake to sail across. We had truly dedicated Class officers and a Senior W eek that none in the past could compare to! It was oneofakind . . . Spectacular!! After 4 years we deserved it. Think back to Sept. 1981 . think . . . look how far we have come! ... and now it ' s time to go, but we are ready. Four years of working, growing, crying, laughing (lots of laughing), just learning to be ourselves ... and that alone was a pretty big accomplishment, but we did it!! Good-bye W.S.C. The Class of 1 985 moves on. Thanks and We ' ll miss you DEDICATION Although I ' ve only known Gary Lynch for a very short time, I can easily see why many people, teachers and students alike, have praised his dedication to education and applauded his commitment to people as individuals. Thus, it is only fitting that this years Tekoa yearbook be dedicated to Gary Lynch. Since their inception as freshmen, the class of 1 985 has been through fouryears of long distance phone calls, pre-exam jitters, post-exam celebrations, and a maturation from typical freshmen to young adults. Along the way was a man who was always there. Always available. And always, in the words of many seniors, a friend. Gary Lynch, who is he? He ' s the one that would make you laugh when all you wanted to do was cry. He ' s the one who had answers to all of our questions. No concern was too small and no problem was too big. He created the bond for which so many of us are fortunate to have experienced. He talked of the seniors of 1 985 as his kids. I ' m gonna miss them, you know. And as he paused to reflect, you could almost envision the past fouryears go by not only in his mind, but more so in his heart. So here ' s to you Mr. Garreth Lynch, the class of 1 985 thanks and will always remember you. 16 Jtah . I - u % .- : . - ' BOUNDED IN 1838 ENTRANCE Admissions ■ X , ►ATRONS ADMINISTRA rlRTAINMENT RGANIZATIO RESIDENTIA INTRAMURAL MEMOR lf ION FACULTY ADMINISTRAT To the class of 1 985: If Westfield State College and its philosophy have given you memories to carry into your futures let at least one of these be a pervasive contempt for mediocrity and all it implies. Let your sights be focused only upon excellence. As you enter your chosen profes- sion or continue into advanced studies, set your standards only at the highest levels. Focus your life upon leading, for in leading you will be serving and in serving you will be achieving the greatest calling to which any individual can aspire. Go forward and treat each day as a new beginning. Continue to learn, to grow, and to challenge yourself. Remember the words of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow . . . To him whose elastic and vigorous thought keeps pace with the sun, the day is a perpetual morning. I am confident that upon leaving Westfield State College you will con- tinue to achieve and accomplish your dreams and goals. You are the new generation of leaders, leaders who are capable of treating each day as a perpetual morning. My best wishes are with you for peace, happiness and success. Sincerely, L 1j l: rancis J.

Bulkley 1933-1985 Dr. Peter B. Bulkley passed away March 1 9, 1 985. Dr. Bulkley, a teacher in the History Department, was not only a professor but also a friend to both faculty and students. A memorial service was held on Monday April 8, 1985. The service commemorated his long years of dedication to learning and the people of Westfield. During his years at Westfield State he was involved in many projects. Dr. Bulkley served as founder and coordinator of the Department of Urban and Regional Planning, former chairman of he History Depart- ment, and a founder of the Political Science major. He was also a two-time recipient of the Distinguished Service Award for commitment to the betterment of education. A graduate of Springfield Classical High in 1953, Dr. Bulkley took a degree in History from the University of New Hampshire in Hanover, a master ' s in Art History from UNH Durham, and a PhD in History from Clark University. Dr. Bulkley had published several history articles and an audio-visual work. At the time of his death, he was working on a book on planning in southern New England with Dr. John Mullin of UMass. Amherst. At the service Dr. Bulkley was remembered as a man who always had time for his fellow man. A memorial fund in his name will go towards buying books for Regional Planning and the students at Westfield will plant three Apple trees on campus. The Class of 1 985 extends it ' s deepest sympathies to the Bulkley family. m ■ 35 ' m. : ARTS ENTERTAINMENT III llil! IS If r JVl T G Joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat ! $£ • ' • k m Sf i The Musical Theatre Guild presented Joseph as it ' s fall production. Directed by senior Paul Kelly, this show chronicled the life of the Bibles Joseph. Joseph had 1 1 brothers and none of his brothers liked him, because he was his fathers favorite. So when Jacob, Joseph ' s father played by Todd Delia Porta, gives Joseph a beautiful new multi-colored coat, the brothers decide to sell Joseph. Joseph, played by senior Peter Ransom, is then sent from Canaan to Egypt where he gets in more trouble and winds up in jail. I forgot to mention that the coat allows Joseph to see into the future and this helps to get him out of jail. You see the Pharaoh, played by Peter Gardner, is having some strange dreams and sends for Joseph to interpret them. Joseph comes through and is made the second in charge. Canaan is plauged by a terrible famine and when the 1 1 brothers come to Egypt to seek food they do not recognize Joseph. Joseph tests their honesty and when they pass the test the family is reunited. Choreographer Mary Beth Looney and Music Director Tricia Mulligan made the show look and sound like the broadway original. 39 M.T.G. Bound for Broadway The Musical Theatre Guild presented a rather unique show for the spring, entitled Bound for Broadway, a musical revue. Directed by Paul Kelly with Artistic director, Bob Frazier. This show was based on the concept of A Chorus Line. The setting is an audition and the story, told through dialogues, monologues, songs and dances, is based around the lives, thoughts and dreams of eleven characters. It is their individual stories, both comical and dramatic, that created an excellent show. Material from the following Broadway Musicals was borrowed: A Chorus Line, Fame, Ain ' t Misbehavin, The Me Nobody Knows, Jacques Brel, A Funny Thing Happened On the Way To the Forum, They ' re Playine ' Our Song, and Applause. 41 DINNER THEATRE The Fantasticks WSC Dinner Theater ' s production of The Fantasticks went over well and made good use of it ' s talented cast. Presented over three nights including a dinner show catered by Seilers, the show was an adap- tion of the long running broadway hit. Kathi McColley and Adam Sutton co-directed this two act play. All three performances played to packed houses. The cast included LJ. Bergen, Alys Clemitt, Jeff Bradford, Eric Krepfle, Stephen Caissey, and Brian Costello. Holyoke Community College student Marybeth Reagan and David Martin rounded out the cast. 42 Two by Two After such a successful show as The Fantasticks what do you do for an encore? You move to the Campus Center, you hire Amanda Jones to direct the orchestra, you keep Muffy as the stage manager, and you find a quality cast. Co-Directors Kathi McColley and Brian Costello found that cast and presented Westfield with Two by Two . The two act play about Noah and his problems was received by all four audiences that saw it. The performances of Jeff Bradford as Noah and the support- ing cast Nancy OToole, Eric Krepfle, Peg Drisko, Sean Gibney, Sue Comstock, Chris Clark, and Meg Dodd, were outstanding as the cast recreated the flood in detail. The music was well done and the choregraphy was well timed. Dinner theatre can be proud of not only a fine production but also a fine year. 43 THEATRE COMPANY Some of Theatre Company ' s productions: THE BURROW — September 22, by Kafka.

Directed by David Gun- ning and Michelle Hanlon, the show was a crowd pleaser. The action was fast, the staging simple, and the delightful charm of Lewis Carroll ' s great classic was enjoyed by all. The show was held on December 6-9, 1 984. 46 The innovative Berkshire Ballet Company, under the direction of Madeline Contrella Culpu, appeared at WSC on October 3, 1984. Ms. Culpo allowed WSC students to attend Master class with the company, giving insight to her masterful teaching. The company ' s best received ballets at WSC were Chatter Boy Traffic a delightful street-wise number to the music of Billy Squire, and Little Im- provosations a poignant study of children at play. BERKSHIRE BALLET 47 48 4 r Lli ' r V 2 ' 1 Wind Symphony 49 50 51 FRESHMEN ORIENTATION -;. : N . £ 52 On August 20-22 three hundred members of the incoming freshmen class came to Westfield for the orientation program organized by Dean Hiersche. On August 25-27 the other three hundred members came. Mark Higgins and Dean Boudreau were the co- directors of the program. The entires group was divided into groups of five or six with a group leader. Activities were planned to help introduce the new students to college life as well as to acquaint them with some of their class- mates. There were speakers who talked about the history of Westfield, the effects of alcohol and the different classes offered. Many friendships had begun and will last for a lifetime. These memorable three days welcomed the Freshmen class of 1988. ' FRESHMEN-JUNIOR PICNIC CONVOCATION U On September 26, 1984, the seniors assembled together to mark the beginning of an end. The students, wearing their gowns, marched to Dever to receive speeches from President Pilecki and members of the faculty. Then, the seniors walked down the aisle to be capped. When the ceremony ended, all gathered in the Campus Center to talk with their fellow classmates. With all that occurred that day, one can only stop and think of what was, is, and what will be. This day brought forth a realization of what may lie ahead. It was the first step towards graduation, which is the celebration of four years of hard work. ™ ats JE COLLEfc 1838 tMMPPfWf V 3 WDOi AH r 1 X Seniors . . .

We ' re moving in the right direction and by look- ing at past records it shows. We have doubled our wins and the future looks good. This was a record breaking season for the Fighting Owls. The team broke over 30 individual and team records including shutting out both Framingham and Bridgewater. Soph. QB Dave Griffin broke all the Westfield State passing records including the longest pass completion from scrimmage. Seniors Jim Duffy, Ed Fitzgerald, and Chris Kinbackall broke records and the team as a whole had the most total offense in Westfield history. The Owls won 3 out ot their last 4 games and finished the season with a win over WNEC. Seniors Jim Duffy, Mike Flynn, and Chris Kinback made the All New England team. Chris Kinback picked up the coaches award for outstanding contribution to the team. So many people played a role in this years team that singling out a few was difficult. Coach Murphy and the team look forward to another good year. «H ; 95 FIELD HOCKEY ■nnHHin HI . (9-5-3) 4-0 2-0 (OT) 0-0 -A f 1ELP HOCKEY (A) Wesleyan (H) Manhattanviile .)

Co-Captains Colleen Donegan and Kathy Cirone led the team to a winning season. The mental attitude of the players was stressed and practices were long and hard. The hard work paid off as Westfield battled to a one goal loss with Division 2, Springfield. The game featured tight defense and great goaltending by Sophomore Mara Lichoulas. Even though they lost, the girls walked off the field with their heads held high. They hung in and had a positive attitude towards every game. Three of the seniors made the all-conference team; Co-Captains Colleen Donegan and Kathy Cirone and sweeper Shelia Foley.

This years Men ' s Soccer Team truly depicted what heart and courage can do. Their unity and desire to work hard helped them to be selected into the NCAA Tournament. After losing their first game of the season the team went on a roll that left them unbeaten in their next ten games including the championship in the University of Southern Maine Tournament. They finished the season with a record of 1 5-3-2, and were seeded fourth in the NCAA Tournament. Probably the biggest highlight of the season was beating the 1 seed, nationally ranked Salem State, 1 -0 in the first round avenging a 1 -0 overtime loss to them earlier in the year. The team then lost a tough faught game in the New England Champi- onship Finals to Brandeis University 4-2. This years team had four members selected to the All-Conference Team. They were forwards David Lima, and Tim Harrington and defencemen Matt Cox and Brian Thurston. Lima was also selected to the Division Three All New England Team as well as chosen player of the year in the Mass State Conference. Despite losing some talented seniors, next years team looks very encouraging. Coach Jim Fonte and his team should be a powerhouse to be reckoned with once again. Good-Luck Guys.

Four short and rapid gaced years at Westfield State College wind down to one precious and un- forgettable moment . . . .GRADUATION 1985! SENIORS Precious and unforgettable are two words that accurately describe the Class of 1 985. These words can only take on the meaning that each member of the class wishes to place upon them. Even more precious and unforgettable than any memory recalling words, are the friendships which we have all developed and experienced during our past four years. This spirit of family and close friendship has made Westfield State a special place for all of us. It is this spirit that gives us the never ending pride to say that we are alumni of Westfield State College — CLASS OF 1985. We must remember, the years may have seemed short and fast paced, but the spirit of our class will live forever in all of us. So, you see my friends and classmates, there is really no sense in saying goodbye, because our unity and friendship will remain intact until we are together again. Joseph J. Spinazola, Jri Dave Laing and Gary Lynch. No two names have meant more to Seniors, as far as advice, counsel, and signing vouchers. Spin tells the story of how they were picked. In our freshman year, after elections I sat down with my officers and tried to think who we could get to advise us. I had met Gary and was impressed by his dedication to students so one choice was complete. We needed a second person and someone mentioned a Phys. Ed. teacher they had. I asked why we should choose him? The point was made that not only did he have a good sense of humor and a concern for students but also had a good golf game. Since Gary likes to play a round himself, I figured it made for a natural pair. And it did. These two men helped the Class of 1 985 become one of the outstanding graduating classes in Westfield history. Both Gary and Dave were always in easy reach of any senior who needed to talk or maybe cry. Neither would tell you what you wanted to hear but they always told you the truth. The Class of 85 ' made a good choic e, one that they benefited from for four years. So, we thank you Gary and Dave for being our advisors, our friends. The Class of 1 985 owes you a debt that it cannot repay. THE CLASS OF 1985 144 Je emtsow back row: Secretary, Mark Higgins.

I hope you have enjoyed the 1985 edition of the TEKOA YEARBOOK. It was based on the theme Friendships . In creating a book containing 224 pages of memories, I had hoped to produce something special relating to and including every senior. I feel I have accomplished my task. So this is for you, class of ' 85, may you remember your friends and treasure this yearbook with many years to come. I would like to thank the following people for their time and effort in making this yearbook possible and one of the best: Leanne Houle the Assistant Editor, for all her time and patience. TEKOA ' S two Advisors, Bob and Bob (Culkeen and Mailloux) who were always there when we needed them. John Morytco for his many ser- vices rendered. Thank you Editors; Kim Cun- ningham (Layout], Lauri Bittle (Photography), Bruce Parker (Literary), Gina Arruda (Business), Mary Connolly (Sales), Julie Dee Papageorge (Secretary), our staff, Bill, Liz, Donna whom I hope will help carry on in the years to come. Thank you Michelle and good luck in your fu- ture years. Here ' s a humble thank you to Joe Donovan our Representative from Hunter Pub- lishing. Thank you Photographies, Curtis Pires, P. Bogan, K. McGarrian, E. Alward, S. O ' Brien, Dean Mazza, President Pilecki, Phil Kennedy, B. Saisi.
