Holle To Dr. Paul A. Holle whose unfailing interest and en- thusiasm has made our senior year exciting and memorable. In spite of his many obligations, he has tirelessly and un- selfishly given himself to the task of advising us during our last year at State College at Worcester. 5 JOSEPH A. SHEA Dean of Studies One of the first persons we met ns freshmen was Dean Joseph A. Shea. Since that time he has become a respected friend, and a willing and helpful guide. Whether it be administering the National Teacher Examinations, reviewing our case studies, or discussing courses over coffee in the cafeteria, he has proven his willingness and ability to assist and advise. A graduate of Boston College, Dean Shea also holds a Master of Arts degree from Harvard University, and a Ph.D. degree from Catholic University of America, Washington, D. C. In 1950, Dean Shea joined the faculty of Worcester State College as an assistant professor of psychology, and became Dean of Studies in May, 1957. His previous positions include teaching in Burlington Junior-Senior High School, The Wayside Inn Schools, Gloucester High School, Simmons College, and Catholic University where he spent tw ' o years training in a psychiatric child guidance clinic. 6 Dr. Joseph A. Shea Since 1950, he has exercised his civic spirit by representing the College in the Community Chest Drive, and for the last four years has headed the College division of the Red Cross Fund Drive. In addition, he administers the annual College Board Examinations, National Teacher Examinations, and the American Council Testing Program, as well as weekly tests at a local guidance clinic. Presently, he is a member in the American Psychological Associ- ation and the American Association of University Professors, and he is a Fellow in the Massachusetts Psychological Association. Dr. Shea has had a direct influence in the growth of our college and has ea rned the esteem and ad- miration of his associates and colleagues. Fie is married and has two children: Maureen Rita, age six; and Kevin Joseph, age two. We, the Class of 1962, take this opportunity to express our deepest appreciation and sincere thanks for the many and varied services rendered to us by our Dean, Joseph A.

The final day, the Junior officers receive the privilege of donning caps and gowns in the Capping Cere- mony.

Ilf 7 3P0 7 ' 5- ' rl- ' hi IIZV l.OO Imrt How the mighty have fallen!” This age-old adage sums up the performance of the senior class at the 1962 Worcester State College Winter Carni- val. The carnival, Blue Snow,” was held on Febru- ary 16, 17, and 18. The year before, the class of 1962 had proved to be the easiest kind of victor, winning in a walk-away. But this year w ' e fell from our paramount position, to last place in the four class field. However, we still managed to exhibit last year’s winning form in win- ning two Saturday morning events — basketball and volleyball. And we were right in there fighting to the bitter end in every other event. But perhaps the biggest consolation we received from our complete reversal was that we proved to be as gracious in los- ing in 1962 as were in winning in 1961. Thus concluded the final Worcester State College Winter Carnival to be contested by the class of 1962. Our successive first and last place finishes left little doubt in anyone’s mind that the class of 1962 pos- sessed great versatility. 16 17 18 19 On November 4, I960, the Class of ' 62 held its Junior Prom in the college gymnasium. This prom had a two-fold significance. It was not only our Junior Prom, but it also was a dance held in celebration of our having received our class rings. Music was provided by Bob Zinkus’ Orchestra. Miss Lois Parker was chosen Queen of the Prom.

Our gymnasium was not quite ready for use at that time; consequently our Prom was held at the Mount Car- mel Recreation Center. W ' ater poured from a fountain, while amethyst decorations swayed with the dancers. Lovely Diane Smith was crowned Queen of the Prom. Co-chairmen for the event were Lorna Abdow and Barbara Ovanes. 24 STURBRIDGE VILLAGE Early in October, 1959, the Class of 1962 boarded busses at the then Worcester Teachers College for a field trip to Old Sturbridge Village. The trip was guided and directed by our professors of United States History. After a day of visiting the village, we returned home with a greater appreciation for life in the early days. 25 STUDENT TEACHING Sixteen weeks of our college life were spent in experiencing the many rewards of our chosen pro- fession. It was time for putting into action the learnings of our fresh- man, sophomore, and junior years. From this experience we became much wiser and more aware of the vast world of opportunities avail- able to those who teach. 26 CAMPUS LIFE 27 CHRISTMAS DANCE On December 9, 1961, the Student Council sponsored its annual Christmas Dance in the school gymnasium. A very enjoyable time was had by all at this Starlight Sere nade.’’ 28 SPORTS The Lancers, under Coach Francis Dyson, and capably led by Bob Constanzo, came into their own this year. Despite two tough losses in the Invitational Christmas Tournament at Central Connecticut, the team finished with an over-all mark of 13-6, with a 13-3 record in Conference play. In general. Lancer basketball teams have always enjoyed success on the basketball court. During our frosh year, the Lancers, then under the direction of Mr. John Eager, won the New England College Conference tournament. Second place finishes occurred in our sophomore and junior years, under new coach Mr. Dyson. In our senior year, the Lancer five finished in first place during regular Conference play, and then went on to win the New England State College Con- ference championship by defeating Gorham, Maine by the score of 88-81. The team was paced by a trio of members of the class of 1962 which included Captain Moose ” Con- stanzo, Jack Clifford, and Dick Denechaud; supplemented by underclassmen Stave Kok- ernak. Bob Kulesza, Walt Moroski, and George Albro. Various members of the class who have worn the spangles of the Blue and Gold” during our stay at the college include Con- stanzo, Clifford, Denechaud, and Ed Gal- lagher (who coached the J.V. team during his last two years). Momentous changes occurred in the ath- letic set-up while we have been at the col- lege. A ' new ' gymnasium was dedicated and as a result Lancer teams are no longer or- phans in search of a basketball court. First row, left to right: Mike Staiti, Steve Kokernak, Capt.

VARSITY BASKETBALL 32 mV ' i 33 INTRA- MURAL BASKETBALL 35 BASEBALL Overall winning performances marked the efforts of the Lancer baseball team in our four years at the college. Members of the Class of 1962 who left their mark on the diamond were Bill Cronan, Bill Leach, Dick Denechaud, Veto Filipkowski, Mike King, Harry Frazier and Ron Ethier. Cronan, Leach, and Denechaud were four year performers under Coach John Mockler. Cronan rung up a record of 10-5 in his first three years of varsity competition, while Leach and Denechaud were am ong the most valuable hit-smiths for the Lancers. Playing an abbreviated schedule, Lancer nines were able to finish among the top clubs in the New England Teachers Con- ference. 36 GYM CLASS 37 INTRA -MURAL 38 I i 39 ORGANIZATIONS V Student Advisory Council Seated left to right ' .

Melvin Merken LA CORTE CASTELLANA Convinced that he who speaks two languages is worth two people, the Modern Language Department of Worcester State College puts great emphasis on oral fluency in the study of modern languages. For this reason, class work receives the necessary complement of free and informal conversation. It is just this opportunity which La Corte Castellana creates. La Corte Castellana made its debut on campus this year when it joined with the Cercle Francais in the presentation of a Christmas programme. Brief talks in Spanish were given on the celebration of La N ' avidad in Spain and South America. The singing of villancicos ( Spanish Christmas carols ) was enjoyed also. Future plans for La Corte Castellana include literary programmes featuring re- corded readings of Spanish poetry, prose and drama; current events programmes at which the members will be able to discuss, among other topics related to the Hispanic world, the very current, unsettled conditions of our sister republics in the hemisphere; programmes of slides of Spain and South America; and fine available movies, such as Don Qnijpte. f acuity Adviser: Miss Katharine Shea 56 STUDENT CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION The Student Christian Association is a part of a world-wide community, consisting of students and faculty members of various races and creeds who are united by a common loyalty to Jesus Christ.

FACULTY joiteuT NOll et BDnne HEUREUSE ANNEE. President EUGENE A. SULLIVAN 64 President Sullivan ' s Message Members of the Class of 1962, you have reached an important milestone in life — that of graduation from college. However, graduation from the State College at Worcester is more than the reception of a degree. It constitutes the approval of both the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the faculty of the State College of your entrance into the teaching profession. I offer the congratulations of the faculty along with my personal felicitations to you on this attainment. You have been taught all that we know. You have gained a certain amount of teaching experience through our student teaching program. We have brought you through the gates of your profession. How far you will go over its various areas and how deeply you will penetrate into certain sections de- pends on you. As you are entering the teaching pro- fession, many are retiring from it, after having per- formed a lifetime of service. They have passed the torch of knowledge to you. It is your task always to hold this torch aloft and never let its light wane. You have entered a profession in which you might consider yourself a gardener. Your task will be to bend the twigs of today so that the branches of tomorrow will point straight and true. All prob- lems in education, no matter what their complexity, can be solved by the axiom, What is best for the Children?” We faculty members, looking at the record, real- ize that as a class you have excelled scholastically. You have been a tower of strength on the athletic field, and you have demonstrated grace in attaining perfection in the social world. May you have the strength and courage to bear successfully your bur- dens. I bid you Godspeed. 65 66 Chairman of Graduate Committee Director of Extension and Education Cornelius S. Donoghue, A. M.

PARK Senior Clerk-Stenographer IVY ADDRESS Yearly, at Worcester State College, the graduating class asks everyone to pause with them as they carry out one of the college’s oldest and most cherished traditions . . . the planting of the ivy. Representative of the past four memorable years, the planting of the ivy begins a new period in our lives — a period attained through time and effort, comprised of successes and failures, joys and sorrows, all strengthening factors in preparing us for the task to be done. Op- portunity is afforded us to recall the many people who have made this moment possible. To our teachers, parents, husbands, wives, and friends whose encouragement and devotion have aided us in achieving our goal here at Worcester State College, we give our deepest and sincercst thanks. It is with great pleasure that I, as representative of the Class of 1962, plant this ivy. May it always be a living symbol of our desire to parallel its growth in a profession so essential to the future. SENIORS 74 ¥ 1 e? 4 PRESIDENT Edward F. Gallagher CLASS MARSHAL Joan F. Furfey PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS This yearbook is but a reminder of the many events that have made our four years at Worcester State College pleasant and fruitful. However, this yearbook also reminds us that we have completed our under- graduate studies. Our rewards and successes are evident in our academic achievements. It is in the academic area that we should search for our satisfactions. Although our background is such that we are cjualified teachers, we should be mindful that our college years have developed both mind and body and ideally we, too, should have similar goals in our future teaching careers.

Leav- ing behind us waitress trays, caddy bags, swimming trunks, and the carefree days of summer, we em- barked upon teaching: the common goal that was to bind us for the next four years. Reminiscing over our first year, is there anyone of us who can forget the Wednesday orientation ses- sions under the capable auspices of Dr. G. Flint Taylor? On one such Wednesday we elected the offi- cers that were to lead us onto a successful year. John Hastings was elected President; Paul Brunelle, Vice President; Noreen Cassidy, Secretary; William Con- ley, Treasurer; Carolyn MacDonald, Student Council; and Barbara Ovanes, Social Chairman. Early autumn found us engrossed in preparation for our first college function — All College Week, during which we made our first effort as a class, pre- senting a successful variety show. Amethyst Mist,” our big social event of the sea- son, was held on February 13, at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Recreation Center. Lovely Diane Smith reigned as Queen, while Ann Houlihan, Mary Malka- mus, and Joan Furfey served as attendants. Those who survived the final exams, the term papers, the scent” of formaldehyde from the biology lab, the whist parties in the smoker, and lunch hours in rooms 13 and 14, won the distinction — upper classmen. 129 September 12, 1959, found us a step higher on the academic ladder — sophomores. No more were we the direction seekers, the first ones in the auditorium, or the last ones in the cafeteria. Our first duty was to elect our class officers who were to successfully lead us for the remainder of our college career. Edward Gallagher was elected Presi- dent; Paul Brunelle, Vice President; Noreen Cassidy, Secretary; and Edmund Cadorette and Patricia Hag- aney. Social Chairmen. It w ' as during this year that we witnessed the dedication of the new building. Our exodus” then began. Five books, two trips, and 2,323 steps later found our new library anxiously awaiting the influx of students. This year also brought with it the recognition of our more scholarly minded classmates. Attending Sophomore Honor Night were Peter Dittami, Maryjo Gosler, John Hastings, Ann Houlihan, Carolyn Mac- Donald, Barbara Maguire, Anthony Minor, James Robinson, Maryann Shea, and Carol Shuber. With cold weather and winter on our heels we attended our first Winter Carnival. At the dance our class was represented by lovely Noreen Cassidy — Queen of the Ball. Ping-pong room — why closed . . .

Under the direction of Dr. John Sullivan, our faculty adviser, we made preparations for Bali Ha’i,” the sophomore-senior prom, at which we honored that year’s graduating seniors. Again our class was represented in the Queen’s court by Noreen Cassidy. 130 Building or lancer? — that was the question that Girls in dresses and heels, and boys in jackets and plagued us in our quest for THE right ring, as our ties gave visible proof to observation days and our sophomore year drew to a close. increases in professional fitness.

In March, twenty of our classmates were elect ed to Kappa Delta Pi, National Honor Society in Education. In the field of sports, the W.S.C. players were also successful. Richard Denechaud, John Clifford, and Robert Constanza led our basketball team to a success- ful season. As June approached we joined again as a class to be measured for our caps and gowns and to begin work on our yearbook. Ann Houlihan, Edmund Cadorette, David Tarkiainen, and Michael Vacca were elected co-editors of the Oakleaf.” At this time we also said farewell to our faculty advisor and friend. Dr. John Sullivan, who had left to revere ” Revere. Elementaries said good-bye to those things that would soon be confronting secondaries — co-operat- ing teachers, newly-acquired friends (ages five to twelve), and principals. September 14, 1961 — Hello Senior Year! But what is this? Less than two-hundred seniors? Eor those of us who had finally made it, our dreams were neari ng fulfillment. While the secondaries went forth to show their skill in teaching, the elementaries went forth into the field, meadows, and streams — the bush- wacking days! A metamorphosis had occurred during the sum- mer. No longer was Chandler Street a municipal parking lot. A new parking lot had beeen prepared behind the gymnasium building. Early in the semester invitations to Kappa Delta Pi were again offered to twenty more of our scholarly- minded colleagues. The initiation held at the 1812 House was conducted by the society’s officers: Mary- jo Gosler, President; Ann Houlihan, Vice President; Peter Dittami, Treasurer; Carol Shuber, Secretary; and William Crosbie, Recorder-Historian. The donning of caps and gowns brought with it many problems and the following remarks — doesn’t fit — too long, too small — what am I going to do with my hair? The cap and gown ceremony, held on October 20, was representaive of our academic standing. After the presentation of the seniors and our new faculty advisor,. Dr. Paul Holle, we joined our families and friends at the tea held in our honor. Highlighting the Christmas season was Starlight Serenade,” held in the college gymnasium and spon- sored by the entire student body. The dance was a tremendous success and hopes were that a precedent had been set. With the return of the secondaries the conversa- tion turned to contracts and the big questions — Where are you going to teach? Have you signed yours yet? In quiet anticipation we awaited March and our New York trip. Following this trip we were honored with a prom given by the sophomore class. At this point in our college career, things started to swirl. Interviews . . . jobs . . . contracts . . . super- intendents . . . a nd finally our long-awaited Dinner Dance. We were beginning to realize that our college life was almost over. It seemed almost impossible that graduation could be so close at hand, and that we would be leaving our college. As Class Day, Baccalaureate, and Graduation drew to a close there was a feeling of both joy and sorrow: joy in the fulfillment of our dreams; sorrow at leav- ing our friends. This has been our history, the Class of 1962. We thank God for making it possible and place our future in His hands. 132 i f:. t ■ ' 1 4 ) ; 9
