John Morytko is that hidden source. He has added a special touch to such student activities as Tekoa 1986, The Owl, and The Senior Slide Show. He has provided photographic coverage of activities ranging from Varsity Athletics to M.T.G. John is presently a Staff Associate and Coordinator of Photographies Services for the Media Services Department. Additionally, John is a Master ' s degree candidate here at Westfield State. John came to us in 1982 from a long and dis- tinguished career in the photographic industry and his talents have helped Tekoa 1986 to be better than ever. With sincere thanks and deepest appreciation for his help and guidance, as Advisor, Tekoa 1986 is Dedicated to Mr. John C. Morytko. 16 Faculty and Administration p. 18 FALL: Events Sports p. 40 p. 42 p. 64 pT88 p. 90 WINTER: Events Sports P- 1UU SPRING: Events Sports P- P- P- 120 122 136 Clubs and Organizations P- 152 Residential Life P- 168 A Year in Review P- 184 SENIORS P- 190 Index 17 KALL — 18 Faculty Divider ' • ' , •■ ' VV£Sn-ll£LD STATU COLLEGE N. 3R;ilM0JMNU ' ' ■ 3 mmrwW w l Faculty Divider 19 As we leave Westfield State College together, permit a personal reflection. You will always be a special memory for me as your College President and, with Professor Pellegrino, a Class advisor. I am proud of your enthu- siasm, your diligence, your loyalty, and your concern for each other. In my mind you very much embody Emerson ' s description: Born for success he seemed, With grace to win, with heart to hold, With shining gifts that took all eyes. The Roman author Onasander observed, envy is a pain of mind that successful men cause their neighbors. Thus, the poetry of real life, expect your success to rankle those whose accomplishments are meager. I ' m sure you ' ve seen that already. Don ' t linger with those who would hold you back. In- stead, continue to identify excellence as your goal. Work to attain it. With trust in God, and belief in yourself, strive for what lesser people would abandon as unattainable. And never fail to share the fruits of your success with the less fortunate. As Addison says, If I can any way contribute to the diversion or improvement of the country in which I live, I shall leave it, when I am summoned out of it, with the secret satisfaction of thinking that I have not lived in vain. I offer you every best wish for true success and happiness in life. Your friend, t-W-t - Francis J. Pilecki 20 Faculty and Administration A Message From: The Chief Executive Officer Dear Graduates: As you leave Westfield State College with hopes and aspirations for the future, you take with you hopes and aspirations of the faculty and staff who have given you the knowledge to make your goals attainable. Success for you is in everyone ' s heart, but success is often not won easily and sometimes, by the standards of society, not won at all. There is success in the striving nevertheless however remote its attainment. It ' s not the critic that counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or whether the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiant- ly, who errs, and often comes up short again and again. Who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause. And who, at best, knows the triumph of high achievement. And who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly so that his soul shall never be with those cold and timid ones who know neither victory nor defeat. — THEODORE ROOSEVELT God bless you all John F.

If college; what college, where, and do we go with a friend or do we go alone. Westfield State has become our choice and now it ' s time for orientation. Arriving on campus we notice a bunch of people in white shirts, bearing their names. One approaches us and says, Who is your groupleader and from there a sequence of events occurs. We meet our groupleader, then we meet our group. We then have a chance to meet other class- mates through meetings, get-acquainted activities and dances. All events were planned and organized by Dean Hiersche and 70 groupleaders, who were led by Co- Directors Leanne Houle and Joe Jackson. The groupleaders are involved in a training program in the spring so to prepare them for any possible questions that the freshmen may have. Orientation 43 _— „„-_ . ,„,.,,.„.-..„ ... ...... — ,-. . V $ p it The Juniors Test Their Sister Classes Skills Orientation is over and now it ' s the Freshmen against the Juniors. Tug-of-war, pie eating, and apple bobbing are just a few of the contests held on September 19 at Stanley Park. Both classes proved to be proud and competitive making for an afternoon of food and fun. It ' s a tradition at Westfield State, that the junior class takes the freshmen class under its wing. The class officers work closely together, planning events and learning from each other. This picnic enables the two classes to meet one another and to have a good time. 1 l l W l MfM ' ! 44 Fr. Jr. Picnic Fr. Jr. Picnic 45 A bagpipe procession across campus opened the annual Convocation on Thursday, Sept. 26. Featured speaker Edward M. Murphy, former head of the Mass. Depart- ment of Youth Services and currently Commissioner of the state ' s Department of Mental Health, was given a Doctor of Humane Letters degree with Honoris Causa. Murphy ' s witty and thoughtful address provided four suggestions to seniors. Beginning with an admonition against taking themselves too seriously, he urged them to try to understand the personal and historical context in which they live, to deliberately take on an academic challenge during their final year, and to examine their own assumptions as well as the conventional wisdom. The diploma presented to Murphy and read by faculty orator Dr. Philip Shepardson. The members of the Class of 1986 were capped by the chairpersons of each academic department, and the Westfield State College Chorale and Wind Symphony provided music for the event.

STUDENT 48 Sargent Camp LEADERS GET AWAY 3 FOR THE WEEKEND It all started with our words on paper, we all met by the Campus Center. We were such a different group Quiet people, Loud people, CRAZY people! We didn ' t know . . . that we had something in common that we would share things unknown . . . Trust is the word that seemed to explain it — wait, or was that communication? The weather was fair — the weather was rough, but the sun came out sure enough! Lectures went by — eyes were bright — Goals were set — as we talked by firelight. The things we learned, the things we shared helped us reach through the Yellow Pages inside ourselves . . . To reach inside and pull out the trust, self- confidence, communication, and qualities needed to survive a seemingly insurmountable task — Becoming a Bridge; Becoming a Leader; Overcoming Fear; Overcoming Barriers; Doing our Best; Doing the Ropes Course! WE ALL DID IT AND WILL KEEP ON . . . BECOMING — OVERCOMING — DOING!!! I love you guys Kim Sargent Camp 1985 Sargent Camp 49 iMfflijaMBBMaMBH | aBi |j BBHMB | Talents were flowing in Dever Auditorium on November 6.

M.T.G. 57 mmjmsmjammmmam oca 58 Dinner Theatre The musical The Me Nobody Knows, is about the trials and tribulations of kids growing up in New York City. As Martha Knight, the production stage manager of this original 1970 Obie award winning show said, The show actually moves in time from early morning while everyone is asleep and dreaming — through the school day, classes, lunch, recess, assembly, after school gather- ing, and nighttime in the streets, ending with everyone going back to sleep, nightmares and dreams. The spoken text in this production was written by children between the ages of 7-18 attending New York City public schools. These are childrens voices from the ghetto. In their struggle lies their hope, and ours. W.S.C. ' s Dinner Theatre added their own special touch, with an outstanding performance, which was held in Dever Auditorium on Nov. 20-23. Director Jeff Bradford was assisted by Muffy Brown as Stage Manager and Kathi McColley as Production Manager.

Kevin Kelly, Drama Critlo, Boston Globe J 60 Theatre Company The Westfield State College Theatre Company ' s production of Sister Mary Ignatius Explains it All to You raised much controversy on campus, as the college ' s Catholic chaplain, Rev. John T. Dean, criti- cized the play in a letter to the campus. He called the play a Mockery of the Christian faith. Director Robert Lehan, however, defended his production, saying that he didn ' t intend to insult the Catholic Church. The play is about ignorance in a powerful office. The play was written by Christopher Durang and has been perceived as many different things. Lehan said that the problem in un- derstanding the play lies in people ' s inability to perceive the use of metaphor. There are loads of Peter Pans out there who aren ' t sprites and there are all too many Sister Mary ' s out there who aren ' t nuns, Catholics or Females, some of them control your jobs and some control your government. The play is meant to help you recognize them when you see them, that ' s all. • A Theatre Company 61 Charlie And The Chocolate Factory 5 5 Children ' s Theatre production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory , was entertaining for both young and old. The performance took place on November 14, 15, and 16 at Juniper Park School. The cast under the direction of Donna Jaclow, worked hard to make the show a success. The cast included, Lisa Belvery as Willie Wonka, Laura Carpenter as Charlie, Jamie Sierra as Grandpa Joe, Donna Burkland as Violet Beauregarde, Patty Finch as Veruca Salt, Barbara Kaskeski as Augustus Gloop, and Ellen Tierny as Mike Teavee. They all had an eventful trip thru the chocolate factory. The orange Umpa Lumpa ' s added their special touch of playful humor to the adventures. 62 Children ' s Theatre i § t « . . i c JyL .vfl 1 I ;,; $« Children ' s Theatre 63 ■■SKr MA HKsk m i ■t?l «M ' ■ ' ■■ ' • ' ' ' Iff; 64 Sports Divider R-O-W-D-I-E Cheerleaders 65 Westfield State experienced its finest season ever this past fall posting a 5-5 record.

THE LAST SEASON Kim Florek Dawn Kessell 68 Field Hockey We will really miss the team and we wish we had another season to play. This year went by too fast, we can ' t believe it ' s over. Kim and Dawn The Westfield State Field Hockey team set their goals high for this season, with 10 returning letterwinners com- ing from a team which owned a 9-5-3 record and a berth in the ECAC Tournament for the second consecutive season. I feel we have a good nucleus returning to begin with this season, said Head Coach Kathy O ' Neil, who enters her sixth season at W.S.C. We have five returning starters , all of which have the potential to gain post-season honors. O ' Neil added, We have the potential to have another winning season in 1985 . We ' re optimistic, but we must strive for consistency on offense and defense. Once again the Owls played a very challenging Divi- sion III schedule, with Keene State joining such tradi- tional rivals as Bridgewater State, Salem State, Smith, Bentley, Plymouth State, Bridgeport, Williams and Springfield College. Their season ended successfully with a 6-7-2 record. Three Owls were named All-Mass State College Athletic Conference; Senior, Midfielder Kim Florek, Junior, Forward Jean Hamilton, and Junior, Halfback Sue Pelligrenelli. The Outstanding Contribution to the Team award was given to Goalie Mara Lichoulas. Field Hockey 69 THE LAST SEASON Last year ' s success was nice, but you can ' t depend on past records. You have to find it within yourself to keep pushing. Rick Mueller With only six players returning from a team which reached the quarterfinals of the NCAA Division III Tournament, the Westfield State College men ' s soccer team had their work hard pressed, if they were to return to the NCAA tournament in 1985. Head Coach Jim Fonte, who enters his eighth year at Westfield, felt that the season looked bright although the Owls returned only three starters. ' ' We have a good bunch of freshmen, 18 to be exact, who have good skills and athletic ability, all in all we had hoped to have another winning season . ' ' Although it was a rebuilding year the Owls did very well ending the season with a 6-7-1 record. Senior, fullback Matt Cox, was named All-New England and All-Mass. State College Athletic Conference. Senior, goalie Rick Mueller was named All-Mass, State College Athletic Conference, while Freshman, forward Mark Gonsalves was an Honorable Mention All-Mass.

With 13 players returning, including eight starters, the Westfield State College women ' s soccer team looked to im- prove upon their 4-11-1 record from a year ago. Head Coach Robert Harrington, who enters his third year at Westfield, felt that with an added season of experience the Owls should have a brighter season in 1985. We have a good nucleus returning and with another year under our belt, we hope to improve our record from last season. Westfield ' s schedule included powers from Springfield College, New Hampshire College, University of Rochester, Plymouth State and Amherst College. The Owls turned out a good season with a record of 8-9. Senior, forward Lisa Benoit became the W.S.C. all-time leading goal scorer with 36, while being named All-New England. Junior, fullback Tammie Maruco and Senior, halfback Ann Sweeney helped the Owls post an 8-4 record against Division III schools.

Steve Boudrot The Owls experienced their most disappointing season ever. The team was very small and very young, with no seniors and only one junior. Captain Darrin King is a third year player and he knew the Owls would have their hands full this year after losing top players Mike Fowler and Bob Frazer last year. Sophomore Ted Johnson and Steve Boudrot are both very competitive and have a strong desire to win. Coach Bressor says, with additional training and experience the team should certainly improve and have a winning season in 1986.

They had a terrific attitude and the enthusiasm showed in the way they played. Sophomore Jane Maiden was named All- Mass. State College Athletic Conference as a singles player. Maiden also was named along with Sophomore Sandy Pires to the All-Mass. State College Conference team as doubles pairs. Senior Colleen O ' Donnell was an Honorable Mention All-Mass. State College Athletic Conference selection. Placing second last year in the Mass. State Conference, made them push even harder this year so to achieve that number one spot. The Owls will be losing three seniors this year but they still anticipate a successful season for 1986. Jane Maiden was given the Coaches Award for her Outstanding Contribution to the Team. W.

Junior Mike Keegan led the way for the Owls, covering the 5 mile course in 24:22, to place third in the meet. Freshmen Mark Smith finished fifth, 5 seconds behind Keegan. Junior Mike Hanley was the next to finish, in 24:57, good for eighth place, He was followed one second later by freshman Sean Burke, in ninth. Freshman Steve Gaebel rounded out the scoring for the Owls, finishing eleventh in 25:27. Other top runners for the Owls were Tom Stewart (15) 25:43, Joe Cauvin (18) 26:00, Jamie Sierra (19) 26:05, and Mike Kaleta (23) 26:15. Coach Gravel was pleased, but specifically with the progress of the freshmen. I was especially encouraged by the fact that three of our top five runners were freshmen said Gravel. Mike Keegan and Mark Smith gained All-Conference status and Keegan placed 77th at the NCAA Division III Championships. Joe Cauvin was given the Coaches Award for his Outstanding Contribution to the Team. Back row L to R Tom Stewart, Paul Murphy, Mike Keegan, Sean Burke, Doug Allen, Mike Kaleta.

Lisa Senatore The Westfield State Women ' s Cross Country looked strong and competitive this year with all but two runners returning this fall. Co-captains Lisa Senatore and Ann Dever, along with Kathy Norton and Jill Sanderson, led the Owls and form what is known as the ' ' Westfield Wall . ' ' The foursome is closely supported by Sue Waltman, Julie Hynes, and Debbie O ' Connell. Depth in talent this year was a definite plus for the team. After claiming second place overall in the Codfish Bowl, the Owl women charged to become the Mass State Conference Championship team and they did just that. With tough competition from Fitchburg and Bridgewater States, Westfield went all out and ran a smart race, taking four of the top seven spots. Once again, the Wall came through for the team. Kathy Norton led the race and now holds the course record. Senatore, Sanderson, and Dever completed The Wall. All four gained All-Conference status. Lisa Senatore was given the Coaches Award for Outstanding Contributions to the Team. fHEJ ' W 80 W.

They met their next defeat at the hands of the University of Hartford with a final score of 0-15, 1-15. Amherst challenged Westfield and came away the winners. With Bentley College came the fourth defeat and Bridgeport then sent the Owls home winless. A win finally came in their first conference match against Mass. Maritime when the Owls triumphed after losing the first game 4-15 rebounded to defeat the Buccaneers 15-4, 15-12, 15-7. The Owls often compete against Division I and II schools so their competition is tough. Being a rebuilding year Coach Jarvis had to start at the beginning and teach the girls the basics about the game. Many of the players come to Westfield with very little experience so their f irst year is a learning year. The season ended with a 4-13 record, and the Owls are looking forward to improve upon their record next year. Senior Kristen Connors was named All-Mass. State College Conference, while Senior Julie Heher and Junior Margo Moore were Honorable Mention All-Mass. State College Athletic Conference selections.

Seventy-five dancers filled the floor at the peak of the event which lasted from 8:00 p.m. Friday until noon Saturday. Each dancer was responsible for seeking donations from friends and neighbors, including many Westfield residents. Sophomores Diana Calusdian and Gina D ' Ambrosia were thrilled with the success of the fundraiser and by the enthusiasm of the participants. D ' Ambrosia, who has been a volunteer fundraiser for the MDA for many years and has performed in telethons, said that she was glad to see so many supporters for a special cause. Last year, W.S.C. was recognized for having raised more money for muscular dystrophy through its su- perdance than any participating school in Western Mass. Music for the dance was supplied by the radio station and prizes for students raising the most money were donated by the MDA.

The facility is also equipped with a functional ' state of the art ' kitchen, offering a wide variety of beverages in- cluding frozen-drinks. Pizza, nachos, and other food snacks were available at all times. The hard-wood dance floor is twice the size of the old floor, surrounded by a stainless steel rail. Also the tables and chairs have the capacity to seat 320 people and have taken the place of the old picnic tables. The color scheme is brighter, with the walls being half mauve-tone and half natural wood.

With seven veterans returning from last season, includ- ing leading scorer Brian Duren, and leading rebounder Russell Thompson, the Owls looked forward to a successful year. Taking over the helm of the program is first-year Head Coach Rick Janes, who replaces Hilton White. Janes, a former head coach at Easthampton High, was very optimistic about the season. He knew that the Owls toughest competition would be the independent schools and he was right. After playing four of the five in- dependents, the Owls record stood 0-4. Even though they lost those games, they had been close throughout. Overall the Owls did well finishing 12-11 and 6-6 in MASCAC. Russell Thompson did extremely well this season. He made All-Conference and was the number one Division III rebounder in the nation. George Bent made G.T.E. Academic All-District and Brian Duren made second team All-Conference. 102 M.

Derreth Adams A new look was found on the women ' s basketball team this year, which included a new head coach Hilton White and nine new players. According to White, the Owls had a good nucleus of players, with experience under their belts. The Owls played a very competitive Division III schedule this season, besides the conference powers Salem State and Bridgewater State, the Owls played Springfield College, Western Connecticut, AIC, Rhode Island College, and Western New England. The Owls ended the season with a 10-13 record overall and a 5-7 record in the MASCAC.

With our new group of goalies, we should cut that margin. Coach Michonski With fourteen new players on the Westfield State Hockey roister, the coach felt very cautious about the season. The team was very young and they entered the season being optimistic. The Owls opened their season with the Brockport State Tournament, in which they went into overtime against Penn State and won with a score of 7-6. Mike Holubowich scored the tying goal with one minute and 46 seconds to play in regulation time. Peter Laviolette scored the overtime goal, which lead Westfield to victory. Then the Owls were plagued with bad luck, losing their next 12 games. A win finally came against Wesley an. The action started only 32 seconds into the first period when Laviolette gave the puck to Holubowich who put it past the Wesleyan goalie for his first of four goals. Russo scored off a shot from Fleming at 8:35 bringing Westfield ' s tally to two. The second period was dominated by Holubowich, who gets the credit for tally- ing for the Owls three more times. Themelli then scored with the help of Laviolette, making the final score 6-3. This was the first victory for newly appointed head coach, former player Larry O ' Donnell. The Owls ended the season with a 3-19 record overall. Peter Laviolette made All-Conference and has a tryout with the Minn. North Stars in August. Hockey 107 Nancy Dougherty ' ' We had a great season this year, breaking seven school records. We worked hard and had a lot of fun and Coach Laing is always supportive. Deb Sambrook The Westfield State Women ' s Swim Team finished then- regular season in fine fashion with two close wins. The Owl swimmers faced two rivals in Salem State and U. Mass Boston, both away meets, and came away winners in both of them. Under the leadership of Coach Dave Laing and junior captain Deb Sambrook, the Owls ' last meet displayed the promise that the team had displayed all season. With seven school records being broken, including every backstroke record, the team showed a wealth of talent for the future. The records began breaking earlier in the season. In a tough loss to Plymouth State, six school records were broken and several swimmers swam to personal bests . The team con- tinued to break school records right up to the last meet against Salem with the 400 Medley Relay of Anne Webster, Deb Sambrook, Michelle Overton, and Lisa Desforge setting a new record. Coach Laing was happy with the s eason and named Deb Sambrook recipient of the award for Outstanding Contributions to the Team. 108 Swimming Back row L to R: David Anthony, Carolyn Stover, Sally Crehan, Tracy Daly, Eileen Sullivan, Michelle Overton, Head Coach Dave Laing.

Don McCarthy 110 M. Volleyball The Westfield State Men ' s Volleyball Team started their season late as compared to the other winter sports. They did not have any games before break, their first game was on January 29 against WNEC and Bridgeport. There is no conference for volleyball so they play mostly Division I and Division II teams which makes their competition tough. They ended their season with a 2-12 record which could have been easily reversed because they lost most of their games by only a point or two. The team will be losing three seniors and with another year under their belts the young team is looking forward to im- proving upon their record next year. The team worked well together and they would help each other out if someone was having trouble. The Coaches Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Team was given to Rob Lavigne.

Maunsell won the All-Around with a score of 29.3 and DeBesse was second with a score of 27.0.

The crowd was as excited as the performers. After about 10 minutes, the lights dimmed and the show began. The MC for the night was Chuck Parker and after a brief introduction the show was on its way. The first act set the pace for the evening. The song was by pop heavy metal group Van Halen. This group of four energetic male students delivered an excellent performance and the rest of the acts did just the same. The acts ranged in musical tastes and styles, from a leather-clad male Madonna to a rappin ' , clappin ' Run DMC to a short from The Sound of Music. The judges had an extremely hard time picking the top three groups and after much deliberation the three were chosen. The third place award went to an act who had recreated a well-known Robert Palmer video very authen- tically. Second place was awarded to the Von Trapp Fami- ly Players and first place was awarded to Jackon Co. for their rendition of What Have You Done For Me. Airband 123 w.s.c.

Dear Seniors, Congratulations! and Good Luck in the real world. As Student Senate President, I want to thank you for helping to make this one of the best years in Senate history. Looking back over the year, I think the Senate accomplished many of its goals and helped to create a better living environment for students. This year saw many changes in the Senate ' s budget procedure as well as changes in the numbers of Senators. With more Senators around we got more done and were able to put on some great bands and other great programs. Thanks to the hard work of the Senate Executive Board students enjoyed many benefits including alcohol staying on campus and the Owl ' s Nest remaining open. All of our events were well attended and everyone seemed to have a good time. The Senate banquet was the best in recent years and I believe our Spring Weekend was second to none. I would like to thank the Senate and the Executive Board for their support and hard work . In closing , I want to thank all of you who supported the Student Senate and its endeavors and to express to you how proud I was to serve as President during your Senior year.

On any given day, a dozen students required the use of the four-passenger golf cart. Some have permanent disabilities, where others are just temporary consigned to crutches. In the fall of 1985, Westfield State was graced with an outstanding performance by Tonite Show orchestra leader Doc Severnson. On November 3, Dick Gregory came to Westfield to dis- cuss political and social issues. A strong nation is not a nation that has the best weapons, a strong nation is a na- tion that has people who are mentally and physically healthy, commented Gregory. Three Westfield State seniors received commissions as 2nd Lieutenants in the U.S. Army. The students David Viens, Jim Taran- tino, and Mitchell Card (missing) are all members of the UMass Army ROTC Extension Center program at WNEC. All three were selected for Active duty upon graduation. The Year In Review 185 • - ' I A series of devastating earthquakes rumbled through Mexico city in September 1985 and the death toll was in the thousands. Few in the metropolitan area of 18 million escaped the effects of the first quake, which registered 8. 1 on the Richter scale; or the second quake, which measured 7.5. Blue-collar troubadour Bruce Springsteen is the un- disputed Boss of rock n ' roll. His songs about Vietnam veterans, steelworkers and factory workers hit many responsive chords with all ages of Americans during his 1985 tour.

Ceremonies were held at various times during the year at the Vietnam Memorial in Washington to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the fall of the Saigon gov- ernment in Vietnam. The Memorial is inscribed with the names of more than 58,000 dead or missing soldiers from the Vietnam war. 186 The Year In Review ' ' I stand before you as the bearer of a double jeopardy , not only as a woman , but as a black, said former New York Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm to a spell- bound audience in Dever Auditorium on March 4, 1986.

ARMERO , COLUMBIA , NOV .15 — DIGGING OUT — A resident of Armero in the Columbian mountains is helped by the Columbian Red Cross during digging out efforts, after a huge mudslide. Many people were trapped in the mud and were rescued with the help of hundreds of volunteers. A TWA jet with 145 passengers and eight crew members was hijacked in Athens, Greece, in June 1985. The Sheite hijackers took the plane to Beirut, then to Algeria and then back to Beirut. Most of the hostages were released within days but the remain- ing 39 were held for 17 days. One American hostage was killed. ..--, An entire city block was destroyed in Philadelphia. Police tried to evict members of the radical group MOVE from their fortified rowhouse by dropping a small bomb on the building. A fire was started by the device and about 60 houses were destroyed. 188 The Year In Review Hurricane Gloria whipped through Westfield in the fall of 1985. Classes were cancelled and everyone was sent home. The storm moved east rather quickly and there was minimal damage.

I could leave you with flowery phrases and quotations but I would rather leave you with the fond memories I have of Westfield State College. Coming out of high school, I was sure I ' d never find closer friends, but the friendships I have made at Westfield are truer then I ' d ever imagined. Through thick and thin, good and bad, the highlights of college always reflect back to those whom I have learned, shared and grown with, so many ex- periences, so many memories, exciting classes; the boring ones; the ten page paper that was due yesterday; cramming; tray tickets and eating in the cafe and finally eating on your own. Thursday night at the Rat, then closing Kellahers; those Indian summer days in April, tanning on the turf; Halloween; Senior Dazes; Chez Josef; and those well chilled beers, those college years. So I leave you, The Class of 1986, with my most treasured memories, ones I ' ll always remember. It ' s because of you my friends, that I will never forget my four short years at Westfield State College. So I leave you now with all the memories . . .

Editor Linda Emery Secretary Dave Hathaway Staff Dave Balardini Staff 242 Tekoa Staff EDITOR ' S NOTE Here ' s to you, the class of 86, a Book of Memories, a Book of Treasures and a Book of Friendships. I hope you have enjoyed the 1986 Tekoa Yearbook. It has been a privilege and a honor for me to be involved in a project such as this. Being Editor has allowed me to meet and work with some very special people ranging from Faculty to Administration, and from Seniors to Under- classmen. I set out in September, to make the 1986 Yearbook the best ever. I tried to incorporate as much about Westfield State and about our four years, especially our Senior year, that I could. I started my task first by adding 24 more pages to the book, 16 of them being color, and by adding photos of World Wide Events, so you will always remember what happened during our last year at Westfield. Now I would like to thank all those people who have helped this book become a reality. To my advisors, Bob Mailloux and John Morytko: Bob, for all your advise, your support and your dedication, I thank you. John, for all your hours of photography and helping me keep my sanity, I thank you. To my editors: Liz Kliger (Assistant), Donna Burklund (Layout), Bev Zipper (Literary), Holly Howard (Business), Bill McMullin (Photo), Cathy Cryan (Photo), Linda Emery (Secretary), Dave Balardini (Staff) and Dave Hathaway (Staff), for all your terrific ideas, hard work and patience, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. A special thanks goes out to Leslie O ' Brien for not only teaching me the ropes, but for also being a wonderful friend. There are so many people involved in making a publica- tion such as this, people who gather so their pictures can be taken, people who have to be interviewed so our information is accurate and people who give of themselves. To all of you who added your special touch in one way or another, I thank you.
