HIS ENTHUSIASM AND INTEREST FORM THE MAIN STEM FROM WHICH THE UNITY OF THE CLASS OF 1961 GREW. IN THE ACTIVITIES AND FACES DEPICTED IN THIS BOOK WE KNOW HE WILL RECEIVE THE BENEFIT OF HIS LABORS. President Eugene A. Sullivan, Ed.D. Woodrow Wilson believed that an institution of higher learning should he a “home for the spirit of learning. The spirit of learning is an extremely delicate plant. It must be nourished by inspiration and guidance. Its roots must be firmly supported by able leadership. It will grow oidy in an environment imbued with the warmth of friendly associations. Our college possesses this delicate plant. It is flourishing and continuing to blossom under the com- petent leadership and kind encourage- ment of our President — Dr. Eugene A. Sullivan. His initiative and co-operative spirit have resulted in a multitude ol inter- ests and a variety of accomplishments. He has brought distinction to himself and to bis community in such areas as Educational Research, Atomic Studies, and Air Control. Substantial portions of bis time are unselfishly devoted to numerous civic and educational organ- izations. Among them are the follow- ing: president of the Massachusetts Council for Teacher Education, mem- bership in the Massachusetts School Masters Club, Southern Worcester County Superintendents Association. Worcester County High School Prin- cipals Association, and the Massachu- setts Superintendents Association. He is also a former representative of Worcester County on the State Atomic Physics Commission and a former board member of both the Community Council and the Youth Guidance Clinic. A graduate of the College of the Holy Cross, President Sullivan also holds a degree of Master of Arts in Education from Boston University and a degree of Master of Science from Boston College. An honorary degree of Doctor of Education has been con- ferred upon him by Calvin Coolidge College of Liberal Arts in recognition of bis contribution to the field of Education. Among the positions that he has held are the following: instruc- tor of biology and mathematics at Fordham University, assistant prin- cipal and teacher in the North Brook- field School System, and professor of physics and chemistry at Fitchburg State College. During World War II, Dr. Sullivan served with the United States Army where he rose from the rank of lieutenant to that of major. Most of his military service was with the Army Air Force Tactical Center as a communications and cryptographic officer. In 1947 President Sullivan officially assumed his academic duties at Wor- cester State College. During the years that have passed, numerous changes have occurred in the college. Enroll- ment has increased from one hundred fifty-one students to over nine hundred. Worcester State College has received recognition from both the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education and the New England Asso- ciation of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Dr. Sullivan has inaugurated a wide scope of activities ranging from athletics to graduate school study. His recognition of the need for better facilities and his initiative in this respect, have resulted in an additional building with another soon to he con- structed. President Sullivan has earned the esteem and admiration of his asso- ciates and colleagues. His contributions to education and his sound approach in academic matters are known and respected throughout the entire teach- ing profession. We, the class of nineteen hundred and sixty-one, take this opportunity to express our sincere appreciation and heartfelt thanks for the many and varied services rendered to us hy our beloved President, Eugene A. Sullivan. Joseph A. Shea, Ph. D. D E A N 0 F W 0 MEN Marguerite C. McKelligett, A.M. DEAN OF M E N Walter P. Busam, Pli.l).

The OAKLEAF, the yearbook of each graduating class, is one of the few tangible results of every Lanc- er’s education. The spirit and history of each graduating lass is recorded in words and pictures. Portraits of each class member, pictures of the college and its personnel, and a report on camp- us accomplishments compose the core of the hook. Each class starts early in its col- lege career to collect the materials which will go into tin; finished pro- duct. It is ibis constant building and collecting which makes the hook an annual success. John T. O’Leary, Easiness Manager PHOTOGRAPHY — Nancy Fletcher, Eileen Hoey, Sally Hehir.

After a few words from Dr. Taylor welcoming us to State Teachers College, we were swiftly launched on the freshman testing program. Evidences of our presence that day may still he discerned on the lapboards. Due to the weather’s turn to extreme heat, our third day of orientation was curtailed, and we finished onr tests on Monday of what was to he our first week in college. Orien- tation. however, was to become an integral part of our freshman program — every Wednesday afternoon. Eight sections! We were the largest class ever to enter State Teachers College. (Of course, every freshman class now holds that distinction for a year.) Just picture this: a bewildered fresh- man, confusing schedule in hand, walking in circles around the rotunda, trying to find out where his first class is. Picture this same freshman upon finding his class- mates, being caused to retrace his steps to the office to find out what a late-slip was and what purpose it served. During our first few weeks we renewed old acquaintances and made new ones. The first social function, sponsored by the sophomores in the May Street School gymnasium, was a dance officially welcom- ing us as freshmen. We strengthened our class union by electing our first slate of officers: Brian Sullivan, President; Terry O ' Hara, Vice-President; Drucilla Bick- ford, Secretary; Marilyn Peters, Treasur- er; Mary Jane McGrail and Gerry Cole- man, Social Chairmen. In January of this these were re-elected to serve for the sophomore year. and jbatd. an aun nellunan yean . . . “Army” skit, our offering for All- College week . . . outlines on blackboards for Dr. Jones’ classes . . .

We have chosen to be either elementaries or secondaries and a feeling Increasing numbers in succeeding class- es brought about a need for expansion; this growth is represented by the new building. Proudly we entered the new and of friendly rivalry is born. The annual rush for locker space is on; what a feel- ing of frustration when one found on the floor the slip of paper claiming a locker as his own, and someone else’s heavy lock on the brown door. For the sophomores this truly is a year of folly. The freshman “Welcome Dance,” generally sponsored by the sophomore class, and the sophomore skit for All- College week, never did materialize. The class attempted to compensate for the pre- vious lack of going all out to announce coming events — skits we had for every- thing! different environment of the modern edi- fice, although in spirit we remained still closely allied with the original building. As the old cafeteria had been replaced with a physics laboratory, we lunched in the cramped qua rters of the music room for one term, and then had quite a time finding our friends in the bright and spa- • p — cious cafeteria in the new building. We were the first to sponsor a social function in the new gymnasium. With the support of Dr. Holle, our class advisor, and the artistic assistance of Miss Cosgrove, our Sophomore-Senior Prom was a tremendous success. Helen Fitzgerald, of the class of 1959, was the queen of “Sayonara,” at- tended by Jean Bagge, representing our class. luUUflltL a td ZoU an au LapJtama e yea . . .

We began to take defi- anos; Elmer ' s glue; 9 x 12 sheets of copper; nite steps toward that goal which we had flannel hoards; and units, folders, and set o ut to attain. Gradually we became registers. Professional fitness became fore- acquainted with an educational language. most in the thoughts of every junior. We met and became fast friends of “Billy With Dr. Holle’s Robert ' s Rules of Or- B.” der continuing to guide us through class meetings, we elected a new slate of class officers: Pi esident Joseph Haughey, Vice- President John O’Leary, Secretary Dru- cilla Bickf ord. Treasurer Marcia Horan, and Social Chairmen Mary Doherty and Christine Hanson. As is traditional, the junior class held the first prom of the col- lege year. Marcia Horan was chosen queen of “Carousel,” and her court attendants were Jane Borlhwick, Joan Cure, Sheila Johnson, and Dorothy Pallys. Another activity that we as juniors en- joyed was our participation in moving the library down three flights of stairs, through the corridors, and into its new limed-oak, land-level home. Upstairs in the same building were displayed our secondaries’ own banners. The elementaries were cor- ralling any and every available person into the art room to appreciate the true beauty of their folk art projects. A short hiatus after exams turned the elementaries to actual experience in the educational field. Long-forgotten suits and ties, gloves and high heels marked the student teachers. The secondaries could be heard snickering gleefully in the corridors, but their facial expressions became inverted as they passed into the auditorium for the start of their methods courses. Our first winter carnival was successful despite two hampering factors: the pres- ence of the National Teachers Exam and the absence of snow. The entire school gathered in the gym to witness the dedi- cation and official opening of the new building. Later in the year this same gathering saw our class symbolically in- vested with the academic gown as the senior officers placed their gowns on our leaders. a+uH jboid o-h au i yeasi . . .

We won the debate! Senior yean begin Just as it rained as we began our first year, it rained on the day we were to our last year at Worcester State College. Hurricane “ ' Donna ' delayed by one day the honor for which we had waited so long — to be seniors! Now All-College week was scheduled in our honor, and all recognized us as seniors after the capping ceremony and tea. It was for us to lead, and no longer to follow. The elementaries returned to college as the secondaries tried their hands at lesson plans. Most of us began to concern our- selves with thoughts of applications and interviews for teaching positions. Some, however, planned more anxiously for their approaching weddings. It seemed we had just set to work when Christmas was heralded by the college choir’s inspiring concert. With an abundance of snow, ’61 came in. This is our year! One and all, second- aries having successfully completed stu- dent teaching, we embarked upon the last semester of our college career. Many multi-colored, multi-shaped signs announced the Winter Carnival. “This is our last; let’s enjoy it!” was the word. Twenty-five of the more vigorous seniors took on the faculty in a volleyball game. It was close, but the faculty won. Did the seniors hide their heads? No. Never! They put on an all-out effort and came in third place in tbe four class competition!
