Quaiel Forty Oak . e a f STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE, WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS In deep appreciation of his sympathetic guidance , his inspiring example, and his personal interest in developing our minds and personalities, and in recognition of his long, faithful, and constructive service in the field of education, We, the Class of 1940, dedicate our Yearbook to DR. WILLIAM BILLINGS ASPINWALL President Emeritus of W orcester State Teachers College D e d i c a WILLIAM B. ASPINWALL 6 Kensington Road, City A B. (Harvard); Pd.M. (New York Stale College for Teachers) Docteur de ]’Universite (Paris, France). t i o n WILLIAM BILLINGS ASPINWALL, after graduating from Harvard College in 1896 with a Bachelor of Arts degree, was connected with a publishing house for one year, taught in Kentucky in 1897, and then became the assistant principal of Union Female College, Eufaula, Alabama. Early impressed with the value of specific training in pedagogy for one who pro- posed to make teaching his life work, he obtained both his Bachelor of Pedagogy and Master of Pedagogy degrees from New York State Normal College, his Master of Arts and his Doctor of Philosophy degrees from Illinois Wesleyan University, and in 1904 his Docteur de l’Universite from the University of Paris. In 1912, while he was Dean and Professor of Education at Albany State College for Teachers, he accepted the invitation of the Massachusetts State Department of Education to become the third principal of the State Normal School at Worcester. Dr. Aspinwall was largely instrumental in bringing about the conversion of the Normal School into the State Teachers College, an evolution which was ratified by the Massachusetts State Legislature in 1932. The transformation was happily not confined to the mere substituting of one name for another; rather, the change that President Aspinwall’s wise policies inaugurated involved a substantial enrichment of the curriculum, the elimination of all two- and three-year courses for teachers, the inauguration of a basal four-year course for all students, and the development and maintenance of strictly collegiate standards in the best sense of the term. Dr. Aspinwall has contributed many valuable services in the field of education. Here at the College he organized and carried on for twenty years the Annual Con- ference on Rural Education. He is now the Vice-President of the Board of Trustees of Leicester Academy. He is Past-President of the Massachusetts State Teachers College Association and of the New England Teacher Preparation Association. He is a member of the Worcester County, the Massachusetts, and the New England Superintendents’ Associations, and also of the National Education Association. Dr. Aspinwall is the author of Outlines of the History of Education and has con- tributed to various educational and professional periodicals, including Education, Educational Review, School and Society, The Classical Journal, and the Modern Language Journal.

Carpenter, our new President, who was installed in the second half of this college year after noteworthy service as a member of the Faculty of Fitchburg State Teachers College, the Class of 1940 extends a cordial greeting, confident of his ability to maintain and increase the usefulness and the prestige of Worcester State Teachers College.

SMITH The ret ' rement in 1939 of Miss Grace Glee Smith after a long and active service as teacher of Art inspires in the Glass of 1940 an appreciation of her enthusiasm for her chosen subject and a sincere hope that she may find enjoyment in her well-earned leisure. In Memoriam CHARLES F. ECHTERBECKER The Class of 1940 pays grateful tribute to the memory of Mr. Charles F. Echterbecker whose personal interest and wise leadership helped to guide its groping steps through the first two years of a college career. Fourteen In Recognition The Class of 1940 gives recognition to Dr. Lawrence A. Averill, at the close of the twenty- fifth year of his able and successful career in the teaching profession at our college , for his many achievements and distinguished service.

In ear - nest - ness and truth of soul The watch fires Sixteen asa w wg Classes J_1 1 SO TIG Class Song Outside the world is troublous tossed On stormy seas of fear; Our college days of glad content, In sheltered love, mid good friends spent, Give peace for study, merriment, And beauty through the year, On our wide campus white with frost Or green with April’s tear. And though in future time we, too, Meet struggle, sorrow, pain, We’ll not forget the goals we sought. We’ll not discard the ideals taught, It’s always here we’ll turn in thought Till comfort we regain, Then on and up we’ll strive, win through, And Forty’s hopes attain. Lillian E. Neu’field Roslyn B. Schoor Ivy Address Today as we approach the closing of our college life, we perform one of our final ceremonies — the planting of the ivy. This tribute we pay to Worcester State Teachers College for the courage, strength, and wisdom it has extended to us; to our teachers who have generously given of their knowledge and experience and who have guided us in the realization ol our hopes; to our loyal friends who have shared our troubles and joys. This tribute we pay to our days at college, our four years of both disappointments and happiness, which have gone to make up one of the most vivid and exciting periods of our lives. But in order not to sever the ties completely, we leave this ivy as a reminder of the class of 1940. And now witli graduation close at hand and the hour of leave-taking near, it is with regret that we prepare to say good-bye. Just as the ivy at first is but a tiny plant, small and undeveloped, so we began in the field of knowledge; and like the ivy whose waxy leaves unfold as it reaches upward in its maturity, have we developed and added strengtli and wisdom to our growth. As the ivy climbs higher and higher, gaining new vitality and luxuriance reaching toward the sun, so may we progress, seeking more knowl- edge and wisdom with our new experiences. The ivy has always been the symbol of clinging love, for us a symbol of the love we shall cherish for our College. May this ivy as it gropes its way upward, strong and rugged, represent our own successful struggle and final achievement. Winifred A. Sullivan Seniors CLASS OF 1940 President Vice-President .

An escalator or a dummy elevator to take those reserve books to the library at 8:59 A.M. An air conditioning system that keeps Dr. Winslow’s room warm and Miss Kendrick’s room cool. A class for Dr. Farnsworth that will remember who was the great grandmother of Henry 111. A class for Miss Foster that will read the current hooks on education, and not look at her blankly when she mentions Durell and Dearborn. A Broadway contract for Grace Palmer, or if she prefers, a scholarship to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. A Senior Music Methods class for Miss Kendrick with vocal ability, or at least, ability to carry a tune. Longer pauses for station identification so that we can get more studying done. Time for Dr. Averill to use as he pleases. A training school class that doesn ' t have to be told to keep quiet. Another Senior Class as brilliant as that of 1940. A Science class for Mr. Osborne that will show some signs of intelligence. A new set of colors for attendance slips. We are tired of blue and yellow. A private detective force for Miss West or else a pack of bloodhounds to track down fugitives from attendance slips. A farm for Dr. Farnsworth so that be can enjoy free economic goods and escape the effects of the industrial revolution. A research bureau to find out how people like Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss Foster get so much energy. A new set of stock phrases and jokes for Dr. Farnsworth, giving “Nut 6-66” a well-earned rest. A new sweater for Russia No. 2. The loan of a set of typewriters for Mr. Riorden. A system of eliminating bulletin board notices so students won’t read the same ones over and over. Waiters with the water in the cafeteria (College dining room). Shock-less seats for the auditorium. Skid-less stairs for the 3 :30 rush. Spot lights for Miss O’Donnell’s dramatics instead of flash lights. Telephone that refunds nickels without ringing twice. A class for Miss Scribner which doesn ' t have “ugh in its vocabulary — especially when frogs appear. A class of fresh air fiends for Miss Banigan’s geography room. Some stiff competition for the SrA’s — in athletics. Seventy-five Patrons Miss Clara L. Alden Mr. David A. Arick Mr. and Mrs. Walter W. Brown Mr. and Mrs. Francis H. Cogswell Mr. and Mrs. Paul A.
