Shea His constant cheerfulness, subtle wit, and sympathetic interest in all our under- takings have endeared Dr. Joseph A. Shea to each member of the class of 1959. In the role of class adviser, teacher, or dean he was unfaltering in his guidance through the labyrinthine ways of our college life. 6 cation Dr. John E. Sullivan Long after time has dimmed the memory ot college days, the personality of Dr. John E. Sullivan will remain vividly In our thoughts. His unparalleled charm, wealth of humor, practicality ot advice, and keen under- standing of our problems have made him the Ideal class adviser, teacher, and friend. 7 3 u A p p Miss Lena A.

Far more important, because of your smile, we were lifted; because of your enthusiasm, we took new interest: because of your sincerity, we gained new faith in human nature. Because of you, each of us is better in some way. 9 Elizabeth R. Barlow, Ed.D. English Mary T. Cosgrove, Ed.M. Art John F. Eager, Ed.M. Science Edwin R.

Materially, our campus has its new building. Mentally, we have kept pace by maturing to the high intellectual level befitting college graduates. Without the astute and patient guidance of Dr. John E. Sullivan and the faculty, and the sacrifices of our parents, we would have had a great deal more difficulty in achieving our goal. So to each of these we express our heartfelt appreciation. Today we stand on the threshold of a new adventure. Our hopes and ambitions Inspire us to go forth prepared to meet our destinies. Let us fearlessly meet the future and remember the goals of our dedicated profession: to help mold better Individuals, and to prepare them for America ' s future. If we always keep these thoughts in mind, we shall be assured of success in our endeavors. ROBERT E. DUNNE 14 THE IVY ADDRESS The planting of the Ivy represents a tradition which has been cherished at Wor- cester State Teachers College for many years. The planting of this ivy, however, is more than just a tradition; it is a testimonial to all the beloved people responsible for our success; to the teachers, parents, husbands, wives, and friends whose encour- agement and devotion aided us in achieving our goal here at State Teachers College. We hope that this ivy will remind all lower classmen of the time and effort, the success and failure, the joys and sorrows which were an integral part of our four years. We, the Class of 1959, shall plant the roots of this ivy deep and firm, with the hope that it will remain growing and blossoming, just as we, now teachers, hope to grow and blossom intellectually. May we accept the challenge of our profession and achieve its goals successfully. ANTHONY J. MARINO 15 CLASS HISTORY As we, the Class of 1959, launch our rockets of learning into the firmament of tomorrow ' s classrooms, we pause a moment to reminisce about the four years which we have spent together. It all began in the month of September in the year 1955. Fresh from a year as the ruling class in our respective high schools, we were now on the bottom of a new academic ladder. But we were in college, and that was quite a distinction in itself. We now had a common goal: teaching. The year was full of new experiences, all of which constantly reminded us of our responsibilities in a profes- sional school. We faced the class alone on many occasions to give reports, good training, we were told, for the day when we would have to face a class of our own. There were six sections In our freshman class, but as yet, no mention had been made of either elementary or secondary. The division was purely alphabetical. How quickly we learned whose name came Immediately before our own and who was destined to sit on either side of us in almost every class! This was a big social year for us. We had been In the school only a week when we were honored at a Welcome Freshman Dance sponsored by the sophomores. This was held In the gymnasium, that area of the old building which our class still remem- bers in all its former glory. October brought with It All College Week, during which we made our first effort as a class, presenting a successful variety show. Most of us were somewhat stunned by the prospect of a half-dozen research papers which were required during this year. Almost any Saturday morning, a class reunion could be held in the public library as we became Intimately familiar with the Reader ' s Guide. Scarcely had we survived that ordeal when we discovered that the time was approaching for our first brush with mid-year exams. Many of us could not imagine any exam lasting two hours; at least we couldn ' t until we saw those first essay questions! Our big social event of the season was scheduled for January 13, 1956, a Friday evening. But we weren ' t superstitious; why should we have been? Moonlight Mist was an unqualified success, and Judy Maynard was a lovely queen. In April we held our extra dance, Let ' s Make Believe. By that time, the lovely spring weather was making us wish that some of our classes could be held outdoors so that we could enjoy the beautiful, unbroken landscape which Is no more. In June we realized that we had actually survived a whole year of college; nothing could stop us now. Sure enough, during the summer, a metamorphosis transformed us from fresh- man caterpillars Into sophomore butterflies. We were upperclassmen! We could sit In the middle of the auditorium! With our new-found wings spread, we extended our sphere of interest In ail directions. For example, the more artistic of our number demonstrated their ability to copy the beauties of nature at Elm Park with Miss Jayne. One divis ion In geography set out, pencils In hand, to count the fire hydrants and 16 unoccupied buildings on Chandler Street, prepartory to mapping that otherwise uncharted area. The rest of the class prosaically mapped the whole known world. Miss Morris ' s class, obviously not stay-at-homes, made a notable geological survey of Purgatory Chasm where they also learned such things as mountain-climbing and swamp-hopping. With the cold weather came our Winter Carnival. At the Ball, our class was represented in the Queen ' s court by Arlene DeBoer. Late In the year, three days were set aside for the gruelling ordeal of Sophomore testing. How difficult it was to concentrate, sitting there In the cafeteria with such delicious odors emitting from Mrs. Whitney ' s kitchen! This was the year of the beginning of progress In the new building program. Disturbances In the west wing of the building told us that we would soon ha ve a new annex. They also reminded us that with the loss of the gym, we would have to hold our Sophomore Prom, Spring Fantasy, somewhere else. We finally decided on Wachusett and ginger ale. Much credit must be given to the President of our Sophomore class. Bob Dunne, who, because of his outstanding leadership, was retained in this office for the remainder of our college career. And so our second year was gone. Now we were juniors. We had been moved out of the lower echelons and placed in a more distinguished category of humanity. But with this elevation In rank came the Inevitable division of our class Into two groups: the elementaries and the secondaries. While the larger portion of our class trooped off to reading, writing, and ' rithmetic, our more scholarly colleagues delved into the realms of climatology, physiography, calculus, chemistry, Shakespeare, and, of course, secondary education. The elementaries really held the spotlight this year. They were snowed under by professional fitness, the football, CARMA, and making lower loop letters. Secondaries were whacked by flannel boards as they passed through the halls on their way to classes, and the melodious screeching of pitch pipes gave audible proof that the elementaries were trying to sing in key. Girls In nylons and heels and boys in jackets and ties were the clues to observa- tion days. Our first real look at actual teaching made us wonder — could we ever do that? But when mid-semesters were past and the secondaries were settled down for another semester of concentrated study, the elementaries descended upon the field of practice teaching. On Fridays, the usual salutation of Hi! gave way to How do you like it? and then to Who came this week? Our junior year cannot be considered one of only hard work and complex prob- lems; rather it was the year in which we engaged in highly successful activity. Socially, this year was highlighted by our Junor Prom, at which Helen Fitzgerald reigned as a gracious queen. As June approached, we joined again as a class to be measured for caps and gowns and to begin work on our yearbook. Elementaries said good-bye to their new friends (ages 5-12), to their very accommodating cooperating teachers, and last, but not least, to the janitors. The secondaries filed away their climate maps and worn sets of ancient history notes, to be kept safe for the day in the fall when their owners too would try their wings In a public school classroom. 17 When the class of ' 58 graduated in June, we suddenly felt very important. We were the seniors! But what is this? Lunch in rooms 13 and 14? Our senior year had begun. Are these the new students? No, these are the carpenters. Our dreams of a new building for the beginning of our last year were yet to materialize. The secondaries had gone to try their ways in the field, while the elementaries remained to try their ways in the fields, woods, and pastures. Those were the days of butterfly nets and killing jars and mature seniors gaily singing the theme song of the Junior Audubon Society. The year passed on and cars still lined Chandler Street. Rumor was that soon only custodians would be permitted to use the old parking lot. And shall we ever forget Hymn 1 09 . . . registers . . . lesson plans . . . move your car . . . see Dr. Busam . . . The wide green earth . . . return your books before exams . . . Big Brother is watching . . . student lounge? . . . individual differences . . . pay your dues . . . firm, friendly, and fearless . . . where ' s the library? . . . drive carefully . . . 7:00 A.M. on WTAG . . . and finally those three precious words, We made It. Events in our senior year took place faster than we could keep track of them. First came look at the birdie and class pictures were here. The new building was open at last. Soon it was mid-terms, and we were once again together as a class. The topic of conversation now turned to contracts and the natural question: Where are you going to teach? Never to be forgotten are our days in New York, a happy-go- lucky group of students determined to set the town on Its ear. Following this excur- sion, was our Senior Tea, the time of donning caps and gowns. Then we were honored with a prom given by th e sophomores. And soon after, we were dining and dancing at the beautiful Blue Hills Country Club, for it was the night of our senior dinner- dance. Cur senior year drew to a rapid close with the three most meaningful occasions of our college life: our Class Day, our Baccalaureate, and our graduation. These were days of joy and sadness; joy to know our goals had been fulfilled, sadness to realize all that was left behind. This is our history, the story of the class of ' 59. Cur future now lies in the hands of God. 18 CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of 1959, who leave with our diplomas clutched tightly In our hands and with happy memories of four of the most marvelous years of our lives, do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament.
