ITHIN the past two years a large proportion of" our men students have
gone to war. So also have great numbers of the M.S.C. alumni, many of
whom we remember well as students and friends on this campus. Now they
are fighting men, at their posts in all parts of the world. Some have been
decorated for heroism beyond the call of duty. Some have given their lives.
We are sadly aware that in coming months, or years, there will be more —
perhaps many more.

We have a special right to be proud of these men of M.S.C. —

of their character, their service, the record they have made.

Yes, our faithful faculty has had
double trouble this year in complying
with the army program of instruction in
addition to teaching our diminished
student body. Whether or not engaged
in actively teaching aviation students, all
the faculty has shown enthusiasm and
pride in doing its best to aid the war
effort. Many have been burdened with
increased hours of classes, inadequate
classroom and laboratory facilities, and
the strangeness of the courses they were
assigned to present in routine army
fashion. Indeed, there are many instances
in which instructors have adjusted them-
selves and their modes of teaching to
fields of study far removed from their
realm. Unusual arrangements have be-
come usual and common as language pro-
fessors instruct in ])hysics, psychologists
explain math, and "land-arch" professors
teach geography.

The success of our double-trouble pro-
fessors is measured by the number of men
who have profited by their instruction to
the extent of obtaining their goal in avia-
tion. This success in turn is indicative of
the eagerness and conscientiousness with
which our faculty accepted this strenuous
program of adjustment and hard work.

All is not work, however, for many
have found in the new adventure, oppor-
tunities for using creative ingenuity. One
physics professor found it cumbersome to
carry storage batteries from one end of
campus to the other as his schedule led
him from Physics 25 lecture to the air-
student labs. As a time and trouble saver,
he devised a rear compartment on his
bicycle to hold the cells. Many such

contraptions have resulted for expediting
the profs' daily work.

It has seemed strange to professors
during the past few months to have rows
of khaki-clad men before them in the
classroom in place of the civilian men and
women of a year ago. But their presence
was in keeping with the many changes
wrought on our campus by the war. Soon,
the air students grew to be an integral
part of our campus life, showing interest
and willingness to cooperate with students.

Because the air students realize the
great job ahead of them, they accept
their work and assignments seriously,
and are in most cases a credit to their
instructors. In turn, the instructors find
pleasure in teaching men who are so
interested and at times really humorous.

In a certain professor's class one
morning, there was a very sleepy soldier.
Bill. Bill had studied the material for the
day and knew every rule and formula
verbatum, but was so tired, he just
couldn't stay awake in class. His buddy
tried to keep him from dozing, but found
it hopeless. Suddenly the professor called
on Bill to state the rule under discussion.
In his sleep but in a clear tone, Bill quoted
the rule, verbatum, to the astonishment
of the entire class. The professor let him
sleep.

As air students march out, and coeds
saunter in to take their places, the pro-
fessor demasks his scientific being in
preparation for a forty-minute English
lecture. Such inner transfigurations occur
many times throughout each day as our
wartime professor gives his "all" for the
education of students.

Old Chapel, the vivid symbol of our college and
number one memory of Massachusetts State Col-
lege's men and women, holds, as do the following
few pages, many of the treasured remembrances
of the khaki-clad cadets of the 58th College Train-
ing Detachment as well as of the graduating Class
of 1944, underclassmen, and faculty members.

estate, Attfuf. SttfU.

Here they come gals! Tromp, tromp —
"Peek a boo! Is there a Sarge in there?"
"Nope!" "Well, guess we'll have — a
soda ! — a frappe ! — a dish of ice-cream ! — "
"Yea, me too! — " "I was here first! — "
"Hey sis — I'd like — " "Hey, Blondie,
remember me? I like lots of ice-cream — "
So it goes. They beg. They yell. One easy
lesson in how to go definitely balmy.

Once upon a time, long, long ago, there
were just civilians on the campus. Then
came war, then came the 58th, the
hungriest bunch of fellas in the world.
They eat ice-cream at 11:30, lunch at
12:00, ice-cream at 12:30— they eat all
the time !

During World War I 'twas said the
boys used to shoot crap. Now they flip
coins (in public — don't know what goes
on behind closed doors). Winner gets
double of everything gooey while looser
digs down for that last two bits.

Joe College is no more — now A/S Doe.
There are types of cadets: the wolf type,
the were-wolf type, the shy type (only one
or two of these), and the definitely slap-
happy type. The wolf is known by his
pepsodent smile and come hither looks
(one eye on the coed and one eye out for
the Sarge with the gig sheet). The were-
wolf— he's the one who howls at the sight
of any female, 8' x 2' or 5 x 5. (He's been
away from civilization for some time —
anything looks good to him !) And the shy
type — he's the one who says, "Oh, I'm
not fussy. Give me anything." Then he
seats himself and never looks at the girls.
(Low blood pressure, cause.) As for the
"slaphappy" A/S; oh! he's just the regu-
lar guy. He comes in big as life — thinks
he's in the Ritz bar room — says, "I'll
have a small beer and a shot of rye." He
gets a short coke with a stick of lemon —
and he's satisfied.

There are cadets from the north and
cadets from the south. The only way you

can tell them apart is to try short-chang-
ing one. If he yells — "Hey, sis, my Uncle
Sammy only gives me 7c per hour," he's
a northern man. If he says, "Ma'm, I'm
just a pore boy working ma' way through
the Air Corps," he's from .south of the
Mason-Dixon line.

There are cadets who will take you
into their confidence and tell you that
girls mean nothing to them, 'specially
these coeds, for "Well, you see, there's
a certain gal back home." But don't be
surprised if you see one of these "Don't
sit under the apple-tree'ers, " with a win-
some coed. Cest la guerre] — you know.

Really though, they're a fine bunch of
fellows. They lent pep to our old campus
and taught us much — 'specially army
tactics and maneuvers. We've learned
to respect their apparent jollity when we
realize the hell they are headed for in the
war areas. We have benefited by their
coming and hope that they have benefited
by being here on this "friendly" campus!

The blue beret tenderly hung away, and
the gold watch carefully placed on the
table, Dr. Fraker is ready to begin Span-
ish class. The assignment was "Oh, trans-
late the next ten pages, " but what with
one thing and another, class discussion is
never where Dr. Fraker suspects the next
ten pages are.

Translation starts, and Miss Jones
mispronounces a sentence starting "Un
hombre con un paraguas." After correct-
ing the clumsy-tongued coed, Dr. Fraker
observes that the umbrella'd man is one
with something for the rain — para from
the Latin "for the purpose of" and aguas
from the Latin "water," and thus
"rain." Logical? And thoughts of ten
pages to be translated drift merrily to the
four winds — "four" from the German

"vier." And it so happens that the um-
brella and the man were walking as far
as Norzagaray Street, where he was going
to catch a bus — or — well, something
vehicular. Now, any queer name like
Norzagaray undoubtedly belongs to the
Basque tongue. The Basques come from a
high country in the Pyrenees; they have
never been conquered; their language is
the most difScult in the world. Unamuno,
the brilliant philosopher, is a Basque.
And there is a dose of geography, mil-
itary strategy and biography, courtesy of
Dr. Fraker. Then, too, our hero, besides
protecting himself from the rain, had
another purpose in mind. He was going to
Colorado. Introducing American History.
Dr. Fraker was born in Colorado, which,
until 1919, was Indian Territory. The
people planted crops and herded cows,
and, when the men were away, the women
fought the Indians alone. This is the be-
ginning of an American Saga. Spanish
becomes, not a jumble of verbs and rules
for using the subjunctive, but a living,
working language.

Often, under the stress, the professorial
pencil breaks and, very seriously. Dr.
Fraker produces a pen-knife and very
seriously whittles his pencil into a sym-
metrical pin-point. At which point, a
bell rings and Dr. Fraker collects his
watch and beret. Spanish class is over.

C AND ICE Read

Once upon a time when butter was
plentiful, nylons purchasable, and MEN
on the campus, the student body was too
large for the auditorium. To the indigna-
tion of the upperclasses, it was, therefore,
decreed that the juniors and seniors should
attend convocation during alternate sem-
esters. Those were the days! Awed fresh-
men used to stand at respectful attention
while the senior class strutted out, to
the strains of the "Alma Mater." And

when the turn of the juniors came, they

usurped regretfully-surrendered seats of

giggling sessions and self-importance.

It is not now as it has been of yore.

The student body has adjusted itself to

the auditorium. Juniors and seniors, in

merry company, knit and write letters at

the same convocation. A junior can no

longer occupy the seat of her senior friend

who has an aversion to military speakers

or has run out of stationery. Outnumbered

and robbed of their masculine poise, the

upper classes tiptoe to their conspicuous

position under the watchful eyes of the

monitor and the platform, and sneak out

between the self-possessed glares of

freshman womanhood. „

An in-a-word description of Doric
Joseph Alviani, Ed.M., is "enthusiasm."
Descriptive as the term may be, it is
nonetheless an understatement. Doric's
vitality, pep and "go" have put the snap
into many a campus frolic. Just like one
of the gang, he is always ready for fun,
and his grand sense of humor and hearty
laughter make him welcome everywhere.
A broad grin, a whiffle, and, come zero
zephyrs, an extraordinary fur coat are his
trademarks.

Happy-go-lucky as he may seem, Doric
is not just a rah-rah boy; those who have
seen him work have been conscious of a
strong current of seriousness beneath the
carefree exterior, and of his understand-
ing, sincere love for music. Never is this
feeling more evident than when he raises
his fine baritone voice in song or plays so
expressively on the organ or piano. He
does not completely betray his appear-
ance, however, for he can tickle a mean
ivory in a hot bit of boogie-woogie.

With all these accomplishments comes
one inevitable question — "Temperamen-
tal?" Well, that's hard to say. After the

way he vanished without awaiting his
present after the first operetta we won-
dered— and so did the audience — but
Doric's seeming patience at rehearsals is
really a study in self-control — maybe he
uses yogi. Speaking of rehearsals, there is
Doric's habitual "relaxing." Many a coed
has wondered audibly why he bothered
to get all dressed up anyway. Almost
invariably Doric arrives at rehearsals
with jacket, sweater, shirt and tie. Right
at the beginning, he lays aside his jacket,
preparing for action, then at intervals in
the succeeding ten minutes, he rolls up
his shirtsleeves, loosens his tie, opens his
shirt collar, takes off his sweater and
removes his tie in approximately that
order, meanwhile stretching his sweater —
while he retains it — nearly down to his
knees.

It is almost impossible to picture Doric
as a member of the faculty. One of the
first profs incoming freshmen meet, he
has been taken frequently for a senior,
so lacking is all pomp and most dignity.
Informal, friendly, "collegiate," admired
and liked for the verve and spirit he
brings to campus doings, he commands,
nevertheless, as much respect as docs the
most austere professor.

To put it briefly — a really swell guy,
that's Doric.

"Where are you going .^ "

"To the infirmary, to have my throat
sprayed. Haven't you been yet?"

The flu epidemic on campus seemed to
be reaching alarming dimensions. Rumors
of a-patient-every-other-minute records
were being spread and made to appear
plausible by the migrations headed away
from classroom buildings toward the
ex-Phi-Sig house, now the Student In-
firmary, since the Army took over the
original di-spensary of bandages and cold-

pills. Late one night, a merry group of
freshman girls skipped and giggled down
Fraternity Row. Asked where they were
going, they replied in chorus with the old
refrain: "To the infirmary."

Soon, every healthy person left on
campus hesitated to confess to his ab-
normal condition. The feeling seemed to
prevail that, if one did not manifest one's
school spirit by sharing the common
torture of having his throat painted, one
might at least co-operate to the extent of
sniffing and coughing a bit. Other means
had failed to get the Christmas vacation
extended. Surely the Board of Health
could be convinced, by mass action, that
an epidemic student body should not be
subjected to contaminated last-minute
hour examinations.

"Did you hear that we are going to be
dismissed at Convo?"

"Not until then? I thought we weren't
going to be here after Wednesday noon."

At any rate, rumors, as usual optimis-
tic, soon made rosy results out of the
yearning snifl's of coeds. There was even
supposed to have been a faculty meeting
called on the subject. A specific professor
was praised for having advocated the
cause of the long vacation.

But Wednesday came and went, and
nothing happened. Thursday arrived,
and students sneezed and yawned through
Convo; still the administration was silent
and unmoved. There were reports that
the infirmary was not quite so crowded on
Friday morning. The pilgrimage had been
unsuccessful; and the frustrated pilgrims,
equipped with coughdrops and red noses,
were homeward bound.

jbocto^ Q.

Have you seen the little man with
the large straw hat digging up the Butter-
field Terrace Victory gardens? Armed
with felt cap and rake, he labors among

the fall leaves. At 7:58, he whizzes down
Fraternity Row and pedals up the Old
Chapel hill just as coeds break into a run
for their eight o'clock class. (It's his gear
shifts that get him there.)

He is present among innocent gather-
ings of students everywhere. Bull sessions
inevitably turn from the last U.S.O. dance
to a baffling discussion buzzing with
" f utilitarian irony," and "religious hu-
manism" (not to be confused with
"moral humanism"), "natural super-
naturalism," and the "twofold law of
righteousness." The outsider is left some-
what in the dark; but when he hears the
Renaissance discussed in terms of "per-
vasive dualism" and "master dilemma,"
he knows he is dealing with a student of
Dr. Goldberg.

"So what's" and curlecues which, upon
deciphering, turn out to be question
marks printed across a freshman's scru-
pulously composed argumentative theme,
are another clue to identification of this
remarkable professor.

"Which comes first, the chicken or
the egg?" is the Doctor's paraphrase of
the more usual comment, "illogical se-
quence." Is it surprising that Dr. Gold-
berg's marginal remarks rate high in the
appreciation of his students? Recently, a
freshman even received personal advice
on a margin, after having emphatically
explained the purely Platonic nature of
his interest in a girl. Quoth the wise
counsellor, "Watch out!"

In class. Dr. Goldberg is famous for
austerity, but strangely so ; for Li'l Abner
often makes an appearance in his literary
discussion; and he dramatizes effectively
the spitting schoolmaster from J. A.
Rice's / Cavie Out of the Eighteenth Cen-
tury. For many, the onion will long
impersonate Beowulf. And, as we peel
tearfully, Dr. Goldberg's analogy of the
"accretive layers" in Beowulf's character
will be painfully evident at the disclosure
of each additional layer.

When Dr. Goldberg reverts to serious-
ness, all sorts of things may happen.
Once, when he had just expounded the
difference between "moral" and "re-
ligious humanism," — at that crucial
moment — a string of pearls broke.
"There," remarked Dr. Goldberg with
gratification, "you see how emphatically
I stated that?"

As a matter of fact. Doctor G. is usually
emphatic, except in asserting his privilege
of closing the period, which the class
grants him with exceptional generosity.
There is an alarm clock on his table; but,
much to the secret disappointment of
students, it does not "go off" with a loud
clamor, for it is not set. Invariably,
therefore. Dr. Goldberg carries his in-
spiring enthusiasm to a rapt audience
several minutes beyond the end of the
period. His are some of the very few
students who do not object to running to
their next class, in exchange for a closing
remark on the "compleat gentleman"
or on Daisy Mae.

If the scurrying figure of a small-
statured man is sighted in the Mathemat-
ics Building, it is undoubtedly Professor
Moore — better known to the students as
"Dinty". Besides being head of the
mathematics department, he is also the
motivating force behind the Mathe-
matics Club.

To those who lack the opportunity of
becoming acquainted with Dinty, he may
at first appear to be gruff and abrupt.
However, those who are acquainted with
him realize and enjoy the real Dinty, for
under his seeming harshness is as friendly
and sympathetic a professor as can be
found on campus. Perhaps it is through
his apparent brusqueness that he com-
mands the attention, awe, and respect
of so many students, particularly the

traditionally timid, fearful freshmen.

A favorite tradition handed down from
class to class and associated with Profes-
sor Moore is that of his two definitions of
infinity. Selecting a lengthy piece of
chalk, he proceeds to the last blackboard
in the far corner of the room, draws a
continuous line from blackboard to black-
board until he has exhausted all the avail-
able board space in the classroom and
approached a window, opens the window
and casts the chalk out into space — and
there, students, is his first definition of
infinity. His second is similar to the first.
As before, he continues the line until all
the board space has been used, but now
he approaches the door. The chalk — and
Professor Moore — leave the room, and
are seen no more during that hour. Such
are the legends of Dinty — and infinity !

A habit for which Professor Moore is
also noted pertains to the cleanliness of
his boards. This he accomplishes by
clutching an eraser in his left hand while
writing with his right. The eraser chases
the chalk at a fairly constant distance of
about two words. In accordance with the
Lamarckian theory students in his classes
have developed remarkably keen and
quick eyesight, as attempts to see the
writing interposed between chalk and
eraser, and screened by Dinty 's body have
provided effective exercise for the visual
nerves.

A brilliant man, Dinty often fails to
comprehend the difficulties that many
encounter in mathematics. He expects
the student to have a thorough under-
standing of the subject before taking the
course. Unfortunately, the average stu-
dent cannot measure up to his standards.
However, all enjoy his eccentricities and,
congratulating him on his twenty-fifth
anniversary, wish him twenty-five more
years of teaching here.

Doctor Torrey refers to him as "Red
O'Donnell who never said much but had a
good head " in Botany. Those who do not
know him often mistake him for a stu-
dent. Those who say they know him often
mistake him. As he walks the campus
with a dreamy smile, eyes on the ground,
or with an intense stare, many have
drawn the conclusion that he is not pre-
occupied with the harmony of cadet
spirituals. They may call him a dreamer,
but his is not so flimsy a thing as a reverie.
When a student brushes by and bids him
good morning, he looks up "a little bit
scared" and answers only after bringing
his mind from Kubla Khan's pleasure
dome or Plato's Republic.

When Dr. O'Donnell walks into the
classroom, a student reports, she feels a
kindly impulse to take him by the hand
and say reassuringly, "It's all right —
come on in. Don't be afraid." What a
change in him, when once he stands, very
straight, behind the lecturn. He is seldom
hilariously funny as his is the subtle
humor that not all understand, not many
remember, and few quote. Yet it spices
his lectures and stimulates alertness.
Shuffling his notes, he embarks upon his
perilous method of drawing class argu-
ment— or, rather, of provoking it. This he
often attempts by taking a stand contrary
to his own opinion. In one such instance,
he found the class unanimously agreeing
with the argument which he wanted them
to refute. He was faced with the problem
whether to leave them in ignorance or,
for their enlightenment, to expose his
deception. He redeemed himself by con-
fession.

One may well suspect, too, a transfer
of this reliance upon the effectiveness of
opposition to his treatment of grammar.
Does he concentrate on this delight to
freshmen so conscientiously so as to stim-
ulate a craving for literature.^ Such seems

to be the result among his students.
Only his own classroom students know
Dr. O'Donnell as an outstanding student
of such men as Voltaire, Carlyle, and
Plato, but the nickname "O.D." is con-
tinuously acquiring a more familiar, ap-
preciative ring among under-graduates,
who keep an eye of friendly interest on
his actions.

A young faculty assistant begs Prof.
Dickinson for counsel. Should he become
a deck officer, or wait to be drafted?
Should he leave his wife and infant for
a better-paying job, or should he stay
with them longer, and give them only a
private's pay later.'

A coed comes in and babbles of her
sweetheart. Everyone else has been
bored stiff at the recital of this super-
man's qualities and adventures, but Pro-
fessor Dickinson patiently listens while
packing film.

A faculty member lately come to these
shores rushes in to ask which word of
three he should use in his lecture. Pro-
fessor Dickinson advises.

The Glee Club's trip to New York is

If he were not such a self-contained
individual. Doctor William Ross would
be one of the most harried professors on
campus today. For "Doc" is handsome,
young, athletic, and a bachelor — in a
college which is now predominantly fem-
inine. Perhaps he does find relief from the
demure glances and the genteel "wolfing "
of some of his students in teaching the
cadets. The army is primarily interested
in his subject, physics, not in him !

Independent as a sophomore believes
himself to be, "Doc" doesn't care for
others' opinions, but does as he wishes.
On the other hand, his humor, though
effective and tinted with sarcasm, is
never personal.

A pendulum, a gyroscope, or a cylinder
is "Little Bessie" to "Doc, " for he seems
genuinely fond of the apparatus he uses
for his lectures. At times he varies the
nomenclature — and then the instrument
is "Esmerelda."

Besides being one of the best-liked and
most efficient professors on the campus,
"Doc" is always vividly in the memories
of his students — "Doc" Ross standing
on his head to discourage a soporific
atmosphere in class, and incidentally
illustrating a law of physics; or "Doc"
Ross casually munching an apple while
presenting his lecture !

Deans Machmer, Lanphear, and Skinner,
"superiors" of the State College student body
. . . Besides these directors with direct student
relationships, the President, the trustees, and the
administrative officers also control activities of
M.S.C.'s coeds and few men. Then, too, it is the
faculty who determine, through length of assign-
ments, the amount of student sleep.

The board of trustees, legislative body
of Massachusetts State College with two
stated meetings a year, is composed of the
governor of the Commonwealth, the com-
missioner of education, the commissioner
of agriculture, and the president of the
college, all serving ex-ofBciis; and not
more than fourteen appointive members.

The governor, with the advice and
consent of the council, appoints new
members for a seven-year term of office.
Although personal expenses are paid, the
appointive members receive no compen-
sation.

Most important among the duties and
responsibilities of the trustees are the
following: management and upkeep of all
property belonging to the Commonwealth

and occupied or used by the college;
determination and regulation of instruc-
tion in the college; election of the presi-
dent, professors, tutors, and instructors
and determination of their salaries, duties,
and tenure of office; maintenance of the
College Farm and provisions for its use by
students; maintenance of experiment
stations for practical demonstrations in
gardening, planting, and growing.

It is fitting that the 1944 Index is
dedicated to Massachusetts State College
in the Armed services. The College is
proud that through its sons and daughters
it can share directly in the war for human
freedom, and is backing them and the
war effort in a series of war programs.
The College is training Army Air Force
cadets; our teachers go out to other
communities to train industrial workers;
the Extension Service has taken leader-
ship in Massachusetts food-production
and preservation; teachers and adminis-
trators are working the year through on
the aviation teaching program and in
the summer session. The College produc-
tion departments — orchards, poultry
plant, et cetera — have expanded to
reduce our food purchases. New courses
have been added, war-important research
studies made, and short training courses
for new farm workers provided. The
College is glad to serve actively, and
shall find new ways to do so.

Another marked change has come to us.
For the first time women students out-
number the civilian men — 533 to 147.
We welcome them, as it is increasingly
apparent that women must play an im-
portant part in America's war eflfort and
in the peace and rehabilitation to follow.
I know that our women students join
with me in pledging to Alumni and stu-
dents in the Armed Forces our determin-
ation to . carry on with the same high
standards, to be ready for the readjust-
ments of peacetime, and to keep the
college high on the Nation's honor roll.

Back of the smooth running of Massa-
chusetts State College, there is an ad-
ministrative group who keep it so. This
is no simple task, especially during these
war years, which, with the shortages of
labor and supplies alone, furnish many
new problems for administrative officers.
President Hugh P. Baker is the personal
link between the trustees and the faculty;
Dean William L. Machmer and Registrar
Marshall O. Lanphear administer en-
trance procedure and the curriculum.
Miss Edna L. Skinner, as Dean of Wom-
en, is concerned with their problems. And,
with the 58th C.T.D. here, Professor
Ralph A. Van Meter was appointed
Associate Dean in charge of the Army Air
Force Academic Instruction.

The College secretary is W'illiam J.
Burke; while treasurer Robert D. Haw-
ley, and assistant treasurer John K.
Broadfoot see that financial ends meet

each year. Gunnar S. Erick.son, as bus-
iness officer, buys college supplies in addi-
tion to other financial responsibilities.

Guy ^ . Glatfelter is now Acting
Director of the placement service for
students, as Mr. Emery E. Grayson is
in the service. Placement Officer for
women is Miss Margaret Hamlin. Di-
recting the Experiment Station and the
Graduate school, is Fred J. Sievers; Ro-
land H. Verbeck is Director of Short
Courses, including Stockbridge School;
and Willard A. Munson, Director of the
Extension Service. The organizations
they control are closely allied with the
regular college program.

Basil Wood commands the tacking up
of little signs in Goodell Libe, and in the
Alumni Office George E. Emery is the
medium between the great beyond (the
Alumni) and the souls here on campus.

Western door of Memorial Building. . .through
which class officers pass to hold informal meetings
on the sofas before the student-lounge fireplace.
Memorial Building still has an air of authority
about it, for the Army Air Corps officers have tak-
en over the Senate and W.S.G.A. rooms, and the
Panhellenic and Inter-Fraternity Councils still
meet there.

MlMJOA/Udj, Q(Ufje^ui4m4^

As the men students' government body,
the Senate, despite war curtailments,
is very active this year. Since some of
last year's members were inducted into
the Army, the organization adopted the
name Senate Associates to distinguish
it from the original organization. Some
of the present members were elected to
substitute for war-absent members. As
always, it supervised hazing and stood
upon its right to take disciplinary meas-
ures against recalcitrant freshmen with
the traditional paddle and pond-dunking
methods. Blushing boys with girls' white
berets were evidence, also, of the Senate's
stern justice.

The main concern of the Senate, how-
ever, is the welfare of the student body
and the control of the activities of the
men students. In this capacity, it set up a
freshman governing board and organized
the entire freshman class; as last year,
members of the Senate facilitated class
voting by carrying the ballots to the
dormitories; it appointed the male mem-
bers of all campus committees such as the
Community Chest, the War Bond Com-
mittee, and the Winter Carnival Com-
mittee; it supported the Winter Carnival

and the Community Chest financially
from funds allotted to it as part of the
student taxes; it organized informal
dances and supplied the college infirmary
with magazines. The Senate's major
objective, this year, is the launching of a
post-war construction program solidify-
ing the opinions of students, parents, and
alumni as to the necessity of constructing
several new classroom buildings for such
subjects as physics and home economics
which at present have classrooms and labs
scattered among several buildings.

The members of the Senate, who are
elected in spring by all male students are,
for this year, James Coffey '45, President;
Frank Jost '44, Vice-President; Joseph
Kunces '45, Secretary; Edward Putala
'44, Treasurer; Curtis Wilson '44; Paul
Sussenguth '45; Robert Monroe '44;
Elmer Clapp '44.

One of the organizations which the
Senate governs, but whose members have
no direct affiliation with it, is the Maroon
Key. Fifteen freshmen are elected to this
sophomore honor society shortly before
the spring Commencement, by the entire
male student body, and become active
members as sophomores.

The function of the society was to act
as hosts to visiting teams at sport games
and to visitors at High School Day, and
is, therefore, together with such activities,
suspended for the duration of the war.
The president of the Maroon Key, to
which societies similar in function exist
at such colleges as Bates, Middlebury,
and the University of Connecticut, is
Alec Campbell, with the Navy V-12 pro-
gram at Trinity College.

"Women's Rights" received quite a
boost this Spring, when women of '45 and
'46 voted for next year's Senate from a
slate of all male classmates.

^e^ftocnxixuf.

As mediator between the administra-
tion and tlie coeds, the Women's Student
Government Association acts as the legis-
lative and executive organization of wom-
en undergraduates. It looms behind the
hazing committee and keeps the white
berets perched on the freshmen's curls
until Thanksgiving. It glowers, stop
watch in hand, at tardy arrivals panting
toward the signing-in sheet. And it per-
sists in calling meetings the night before
hour examinations.

This year's officers, elected by all
women students, are: Cynthia Leete,
President; Helen Beaumont, Vice-Presi-
dent; Marjorie Cole, Secretary; and Jean
Burgess, Treasurer.

This year a record number of women
students are scattered in the ex-fraternity
and off-campus houses, which, within the
jurisdiction of the W.S.G.A., are subject
to the off -campus council headed by Anne
Tilton '46, and consisting of the chairmen
of all off-campus houses. Since the Senate
is temporarily represented merely by an
acting senate, the W.S.G.A. is the only
unchanged student government body at
the Massachusetts State College.

Isogon is the women students' honor
society, composed of eleven upperclass
girls selected on the basis of scholarship,
personality, extracurricular activities, and
versatility by the old members. Seven
juniors are tapped in the spring and four
seniors at mid-winter commencement
exercises.

One of the society's activities consists
of the yearly publication of Coediqiiette,
an advisory handbook for freshman girls.
It represents Kay Tully's '41 humorous
compilation of campus rules, plus reputed-
ly useful information on campus clothing,
and dating techniques, and was this year
enlarged with Mary K. Ilaughey's war
supplement, for adjustment to the pres-
ence of cadets on campus. Isogon mem-
bers also serve as ushers at graduation
exercises in spring and provide for junior
hostesses at the Amherst U.S.O.

This j'ear's members are Marian Whit-
comb, President; Laura Williams, Vice-
President; Lucille Lawrence, Secretary
and Treasurer; Barbara Bemis, Cynthia
Leete, Jean Burgess, Mary K. Haughey;
and new senior members, Shirley Mason,
Aileen Perkins, Miriam Le May, and
Margaret Deane.

Behold, they come — the mighty, noble,
haughty, proud — the seniors. Though
still the awe of freshmen, the scourge of
sophs, the aim of juniors, they are now
more serious. Facing the world with sadly
depleted numbers, it is their task to carry
on the traditions and glories of Massa-
chusetts State College for those who gave
up their diplomas to join in the fight for
freedom. This year's officers were: Doug-
las Hosmer, President; Lee Filios, Vice-
President; Ruth Symonds, Secretary;
Irving Nichols, Treasurer; Bob Monroe,
Sergeant-at-Arms; Bob Stewart, Captain.

This class is the one with the most
varied college experience, for it knew
M.S.C. when there was a 2 to 1 proportion
of boys to girls on campus, when a certain
Stockbridge professor named Parry Dodds
caused many a flutter, when probably
the most popular English classes given
were those conducted by Barney "Hu-
manism" Troy; when freshman boys and
girls ate in Draper, and the frosh girls
lived in the Abbey before Butterfield
House was finished.

The Class of 1945 has conducted a
most successful social year under the
leadership of the following officers: Jim
Coffey, President; Kay Dellea, Vice-
President; Allison Moore, Secretary; Joe
Kunces, Treasurer; Paul Sussenguth,
Captain; and Walter Goehring, Sergeant-
at-Arms. Co-operating with class mem-
bers, they have been influencial in pro-
moting a part of the social program for
underclassmen and Aviation Students.

In providing its share of entertainment
for the year, the Junior Class sponsored
and planned the annual Winter Carnival
program, thinking it fitting that such a
vivid example of Massachusetts State
College social life should be maintained as
a shining tradition for the many students
of the college now unable to enjoy such
an event as a campus ball. The Class
Party was not restricted this year to those
in the Junior Class; rather, all classes
were invited to enjoy the informal affair.
In short, officers of the Class of 1945 have
strived to keep college traditions and
customs as unchanged as possible.

Of all classes, sophomores are rumored
hardest to teach. No wonder! A sopho-
more looks down with condescending pity
or paternal interest on the freshman, who,
filled only with enthusiasm for campus
life, jitters and giggles around with child-
like ignorance and eager receptiveness.
The junior, wasting his life with grinding,
is an incomprehensible thing, beneath
contempt. The senior is pitiable, either
waiting for graduation or sentimentaliz-
ing on Alma Mater and his waste of her
generosity. In either case, he misses the
opportunity which the soph seizes with
self-assurance and holds with self-satisfied
equilibrium: the chance for dictatorship.
His, or rather, hers, is the right of hazing,
the easiest class schedule and the domin-
ance of extra-curricular activities. To the
sophomore belongs the campus.

Class officers are Donald Smith, Presi-
dent; Dorothy Johnson, Vice-President;
Marion McCarthy, Secretary; John Del-
evoryas. Treasurer; Steve Waldron, Cap-
tain; and Dick Chin, Sergeant-at-Arms.

Since the Freshmen were not well
enough acquainted with the members of
their class to follow the example of the
upperclassmen in electing class officers,
an executive committee was chosen as it
had been in previous years. This commit-
tee, consisting of two representatives of
the men of the Class of '47 and two repre-
sentatives of their "better halves," as-
sumed the responsibilities of directing the
activities of their cla.ssmates throughout
the academic year. The girls chosen were
Barbara Hanley and Helene Parker, and
the members of the "stronger" sex were
George Little and Stanley Sugarman.

Later in the year, this number was
reduced to three when Stanley Sugarman
joined the Armed F'orces. The three re-
maining executives carried on, however,
and led the Freshman class.

Most noteworthy fact about the class
was its overwhelming femininity. Butter-
field couldn't hold the lasses of '47, so the
smooth corridors of both the Kappa
Sigma and the Theta Chi houses became
the haunts of the boisterous overflow.

Rushing, establishment of an all-
national-sorority campus, and inter-
sorority spirit have been the outstanding
topic of Panhellic Council discussions
this year. As mediation board in sorority
affairs, the Council's aim is to put into
practice all laws put forth by National
Panhellenic Congress. Aileen Perkins,
president, in cooperation with Peg Deane,
vice-president, Wilma Winberg, secre-
tary-treasurer, Kay Dellea, Miriam Le-
May, Pearl Wolozin, Laura Williams,
Lucille Chaput, Marilyn Hadley, Jean
Burgess, Pat Kenyon, and Dot Colburn,
held long meetings among themselves
and with members of the administration
to formulate a plan for rushing to be held
later than usual in the academic year,
allowing freshmen and upperclass girls
to become better acquainted before
bidding began. They also shortened the
formal rushing period to two weeks — a
round-robin tea, three afternoon teas,
a closed date, and pledging. Members of
the council met with the freshman girls
and transfer students to explain fully
the system's operation.

Again this year, in December, Pan-
hellenic Council arranged
a Patroness Tea to which
were invited the patron-
esses, housemothers, and
presidents of all sororities.
The affair was held at
Sigma Kappa as a house-
warming in observance of
their first year as an organ-
ized group on the campus.

This spring the Council
sponsored a series of open
house dances to be held on
Saturday nights at each of
the sorority houses proceed-
ing alphabetically.

Traditional Intersorority Sing and
Declamation was held on April 26th in
Bowker Auditoriiun under the direction
of Panhellenic Council. Each sorority
was allowed to render two musical selec-
tions with from eighteen to twenty-one
girls participating in the chorus and one
declamation in the form of various
literary types suitable for monologue.
Judges were chosen from the faculty,
and graded each sorority from a standard
form in singing and declaiming.

Because of the absence of active fra-
ternity chapters on campus this year, a
group of students representing them met
and decided that there would be no
fraternity rushing or pledging of fresh-
men throughout the year. Frank Jost,
president-elect of the Interfraternity
Council for 1943-44, acted as chairman
of the fraternity representatives. All but
four of the fraternity houses were rented
by the college as girls' dorms. Phi Sig
became M.S.C.'s student infirmary; Alpha
Sig now bears the sign, "State House";
A E Pi is now the Hillel House for State
of the Pioneer Valley Foundation;
and Sig Ep was rented as a private
house. The few remaining
fraternity men look long-
ingly as they walk by the
houses they once strolled
nonchalantly into, and
some of the Alpha Gams
call their Nutting Avenue
rooming house the "Alpha
Gam Annex." As Super-
visor of Fraternity Leases,
Professor John H. Vondell
has charge of handling these
"frarority" houses, which
is only another proof that
1944 is a woman's year
here at M. S. C.

Checking out reserved books for overnight,
Goodell Libe's ten o'clock closing .... Noteworthy
among student aims is that of high scholarship
and the satisfaction of reaching the dean's list, or
of being elected to Phi Kappa Phi. Realizing that
the purpose of a college is education, conscientious
underclassmen spend hours in study, and respect
the honorary keys of their teachers.

The Massachusetts State Chapter of
the Sigma Xi seeks to express the So-
ciety's motto "Companions in zealous
research" and maintain the object "To
encourage original investigation in sci-
ence pure and applied " by electing qual-
ified investigators to membership and
sponsoring meetings for the discussion of
scientific subjects. During 1943-44, three
public meetings were arranged ; on Novem-
ber 30, "The Development and the Use
of Penicillin in Treatment of Diseases"
(led by Dr. J. W. Foster, M.S.C. '36);
on January 26, a joint meeting with the
Four-College Genetics Group on "Some
Phases of Plant Genetics"; and on March
29, an initiation meeting, followed by a
discussion of "Psychology and Military
Aviation."

These are the men and women to whom
"To test for sulphate add barium nitrate
and nitric acid to the unknown" and
"Vitamin C prevents scurvy" and such-
like bits of information aren't even con-
sidered knowledge. They are the experts,
the authorities, on pomology, entomology,
physics, bacteriology, botany, chemistry,
agronomy, zoology, geology, food tech-
nology, poultry, mathematics, etc.

The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi
was established here when Massachusetts
State College was Massachusetts Agri-
cultural College — back in 1904, when
"Aggie" boys courted girls who wore
rats in their hair, rubbed their noses with
chamois, and buffed their fingernails.
The descendants of these possessors of
"scholarship and character" now "pitch
woo" with, or are, girls who wear feather
cuts, plaster on pancake makeup, and
parade green fingernail lacquer. Scholar-
ship seems to survive all fashions.

Although there is no chapter of Phi
Beta Kappa at Massachusetts State Col-
lege, people on the faculty who hold mem-
bership in the Society from other chapters,
long ago began the custom of meeting
from time to time in informal association.
The original ideal of the Society, that
philosophy is the true guide to a well-
lived life, is still a profoundly appealing
one; and the attitude it implies naturally
draws together those who aspire to it and
share it. The local group includes men of
widely different interests, but underlying
them all is the conviction that wisdom is
more important than knowledge, that
character is indispensable to the right use
of the mind, that the man is more im-
portant than the profession.

The local Association has endeavored
in its own programs to extend its knowl-
edge of the ideas which shape the thought
of liberally educated people in our time;
it also participates in the objects of the
national Society. Locally it has enter-
tained speakers capable of sound scholarly
addresses on a variety of subjects con-
sonant with the range of the members'
interests: for example. Dr. Ernest F.
Scott, The Meaning of the "Higher Crit-
icism" of the Bible; Dr. O. E. Schott's
Regeneration of Organs: the Action of
Embryonic Organizers on Adult Tissue-
Dean Marjorie Hope Nicolson, Science
and the Literary Imagination; President
Roswell G. Ham, In Pursriit of John
Dryden; Dr. Warren K. Green, Modern
Aids to Air and Sea Navigation.

As for the national Society, it has
sought in recent times to encourage its
ideal in the world of affairs by fighting for
the cause of liberal education. The local
association tries to give expression to the
ideal by electing from the senior class
each spring, a Phi Beta Kappa scholar.

whose record expresses the ideal of the
Society. The scholar is to be one whose
academic record and attitude toward his
college experience indicate intellectual
maturity, an inquiring and reflective turn
of mind, and a sense of the importance of
the ideals a man lives by. The Phi Beta
Kappa scholar for 1943 was Ephraim
Morton Radner of Springfield. For Phi
Beta Kappa scholar of 1944, the group
chose Miss Charlotte Eigner of Swamp-
scott.

The following members of the local
association are connected with the col-
lege: Dr. Vernon P. Helming, President;
Mrs. Kenneth L. Bullis, Vice-President;
Dr. Walter M. Miller, Secretary-Treas-
urer; Dr. A. B. Beaumont, Dr. G. C.
Crampton, Lieutenant Charles H. Du-
Bois,* Mrs. William B. Easton, Jr., Mrs.
G. E. Eriokson, Dr. Stowell C. Coding,
Professor Arthur N. Julian, Dean Wil-
liam L. Machmer, Dr. A. Anderson
Mackimmie, Dr. Helen S. Mitchell,*
Professor Frank C. Moore, Dr. William
H. Ross, Mrs. Frank R. Shaw, Dr. Marion
Smith, Mr. Basil B. Wood, Dr. Gilbert L.
Woodside.

*0n military leave

"He ventured Far to preserve the Liberties of
Mankind," is inscribed over the mantel in the
Memorial Room dedicated to those State College
men who gave their lives in the last war .... Today,
with friends, relatives, and sweethearts fighting
for those same Freedoms, Massachusetts State
College students turn for spiritual peace to their
religious clubs even more than usual.

To create a spirit of un-
derstanding among students
of differing religious beliefs,
the United Religious Coun-
cil was established. Under
the direction of Rev. ^^'.
Burnet Eastou, it consists
of three representatives
each from the Hillel Club,
the Newman Club, and the
Student Christian Associa-
tion.

The Council realizes that
although there are funda-
mental differences in con-
viction among Catholics,
Jews and Protestants, there
are also areas in which
these denominations can all
work together. It was the United Religious
Council which instituted the Sunday
Afternoon Vesper Services, now such an
integral part of campus life.

Big event of the U.R.C.'s year was
an informal tea and discussion led by
Mr. Lewis Fox of Hartford, on the sub-
ject, "Living Your Own Religion." The
Social Hall of Memorial Hall was crowded
with students, all eager to hear this
gentle Jewish exponent of the inter-faith
movement.

This year's Council consists of Miriam
LeMay, Dorothy Maraspin and Walter
Goehring, from the Student Christian

Reverend Eastoii
M. S. C.'s Religious Director

The Student Christian
Association replaced the
Christian Federation of
Protestant Students a year
after the coming of Rev. W.
Burnet Easton in 1941.
Eager to support nonsec-
tarian Christianity, the col-
lege S.C.A. is connected
with the N.E.S.C. Move-
ment and the World S. C.
Federation. All Protestant
students are associate mem-
bers, while the work is per-
formed by the "active"
members.

Activities include pub-
lishing the Handbook and
the bi-weekly, Sca7i; con-
ducting Sunday evening services at the
local Hope Congregational Church; hold-
ing Friday afternoon worship services and
freshman discussions; organizing visiting
committees and groups to go to local
churches.

The S.C.A. is directed by the Cabinet
which meets weekly. This year's cabinet
members, selected for interest in S.C.A.
work, ability to lead, and scholastic
standing, are Dorothy L. Maraspin,
President '44; Walter Goehring, Vice-
President '45; Elizabeth Jordan, Secre-
tary '44; Fred West, Treasurer '45; Ruth
Steele '46, Miriam Le May '44, Claire
Healy '46, John Delevoryas '46, Carolyn
Whitmore '46, Goon Lee (Dick) Chin '46,
Marjory Reed '44, Virginia Tripp '45,
Robert Young '44, Stephen Waldron '46.

QiiA/Uilcun

Most noteworthy achieve-
ment of the former Men-
orah Ckib, the rehgious
organization for Jewish stu-
dents at Massachusetts
State College, since its affil-
iation to the national Hillel
Society, is the acquirement,
last summer, of the Alpha
Epsilon Pi fraterntiy house
for the duration. This was
obtained through the inex-
haustible energy of Dr.
Maxwell H. Goldberg, fac-
ulty advisor of Hillel, and
of Rabbi Arthur Hertzberg,
who, as the new Hillel
director, divides his time
between Smith and State
College. As the only religious club on
campus with its own community center,
Hillel is now in a position for close co-
operation with the inter -faith work. This
year, the Student Christian Association
holds cabinet meetings at the Hillel house.

The club's program includes classes
in elementary Hebrew, taught by Rabbi
Hertzberg, which are open to all students;
the weekly publication of the Calendar:
regular Sunday night meetings with
speakers and discussion groups; and peri-
odical Saturday night dances. As the
Jewish center for military and civilian
students of Amherst and State, Hillel
holds Sunday afternoon services.

This year's officers are; Golda Edin-
burg. President; Laura Resnick, Vice-
President; Hyman Hershman, Inter-faith
Representative; Barbara Brown, Record-
ing Secretary; Beatrice Shapiro, Corres-
ponding Secretary.

This year the Newman
Club celebrates the fif-
teenth anniversary of its
founding as a local campus
organization by joining
the National Federation of
Newman Clubs, including
chapters in colleges all over
the United States. The aim
of the club is to bring the
Catholic students closer to-
gether and to promote a
greater understanding of
their faith. Advised by
Father Alfred J. Lane, pas-
tor of St. Brigid's Church,
its members usually meet
in Old Chapel on the first
Wednesday of each month.
In the year's program were discussions,
speakers, and communion breakfasts.
At various meetings. Father John Power,
popular young curate of Saint Brigid's
Church, gave lectures on the different
parts of the Mass and their significance,
as well as on the vessels and vestments
used in celebrating the Mass. Outstand-
ing student-led discussions were held on
birth control and Protestantism. On
December fifth, a communion breakfast
was held in Parish Hall, with Father
Johnson, of Northampton, as guest of
honor. Also, the members of the Club are
helping to collect funds towards purchas-
ing a new organ for St. Brigid's Church,
where members have listened to the
wheezes of the old one for years.

The officers of the Newman Club for
this year are: President, Shirley Mason;
Vice-President, Joseph Kunces; and Sec-
retary-Treasurer, Mary Vachon.

Methodist students on campus have
reaUzed in the Wesley Foundation, this
year, a spirit of comradeship which
strengthened to a deep interest in, and
knowledge of, the fundamentals of their
religion. The club has been especially
active under the leadership of the follow-
ing officers: President, Peggy Merritt;
Secretary, Claire Healy; Devotion Chair-
man, Martha Harrington; Co-recreation
Chairmen, Allison Moore and Alma Rowe.
Director of the club was Rev. Harold H.
Cramer, pastor of the Methodist Church.

Deputation teams were delegated to
speak before student groups on campus
and in the near vicinity; a discussion
series, conducted at the home of Profes-
sor Adrian H. Lindsey, consisting of four
Lenten Vespers given Sunday afternoons
followed by a social hour and supper ; and
regular Sunday evening discussions con-
ducted throughout the college year.

Among the featured lectures were:
"The Future of Christianity in America"
by Dr. Paul Johnson, Professor of Re-
ligion at Boston University; "The Future
of Christianity in Mexico" by Mr. Wes-
ley Matzigseit, noted Alumni traveller in
Mexico; "The Future of Christianity in
the Far East" by Timothy T. Fang Leu,
a member of the legislative council of
China; and the "Future of Christianity
in Rural America" by Professor C. M.
McConnell, world authority on rural life.

The Wesley Foundation Club has
shown quite clearly by its successful and
enlightening program of the year, that
students (especially women) are now
turning to their religious organizations
more than ever before, during a period of
crisis.

As in previous years Episcopalian stu-
dents on campus were united in the
Phillips Brooks Club, organized in 1937
by Rev. George Leslie Cadigan of Grace
Church and an integral part of campus
life ever since. Under the guidance of
faculty adviser Dr. Charles F. Fraker and
Rev. Charles Lawrence of Grace Church,
the club held regular monthly meetings
throughout the year. At these meetings,
justly-famous student-planned suppers
preceded talks by well-known speakers.

The members were fortunate this year
in being able to hear, among others. Miss
Eleanor Snyder of Northampton, who
spoke on women's work in the church;
Mary Ellen Chase, authoress and instruc-
tor in English Composition at Smith
College, who spoke on the Bible; and
Dr. H. Karl Lutge, instructor in German
here at State. These informal lectures
were followed by round-table discussions
under the direction of Rev. Lawrence
which were both profitable and enjoyable
to the students and others who attended.
These meetings were well-attended and
drew students of other denominations.

When Rev. Lawrence entered the
armed services early in 1944, the guidance
of the club was taken over by Rev. Jesse
M. Trotter, an inspiring leader.

Early in March, the student-planned
lunches were superceded by more sub-
stantial suppers which proved extremely
successful.

The student directors of the club were
Dorothy Maraspin, President, and Ethel
M. Libby, Secretary-Treasurer, who have
held well-attended Communion services
in Old Chapel Seminar Room on Thurs-
days.

Terpsichorean Interlude a la Drill Hall
Strenuous programs to keep State students in war-
time condition have been promoted this year by
the Physical Education department under the
supervision of a comparatively new teaching staff.
In conjunction with these Physical Education
schedules, student organizations have been spon-
soring hikes, dances, and interclass sports events.

^a Keep, a

During wartime in a college where
women students carry on for Statesmen
now in the armed services, a women's
physical-fitness program acquires new
significance. The Physical Education
Department has undergone many changes
with a new head for the department, a
new instructor, a record-breaking class of
freshman girls, and a junior-and-senior
course in physical education.

Miss Ruth Totman and Miss Winifred
Schoenleber, the new head of the depart-
ment and new instructor, respectively, in
co-operation with Miss Shirley Winsberg
have revised the physical-fitness program
introduced last year, to suit prevailing
circumstances. The requirement of juniors
and seniors to take physical education is
in part suspended ; they are not compelled
to take a winter sport as the Drill Hall
cannot shelter this year's unusually large
number of coeds from Amherst's northerly
breezes. The limited time and space is
devoted to the freshman and sophomore
classes. This did not prevent those juniors
and seniors who so desired from partici-

a^ <^

pating in an indoor sport, but most upper-
class women prefer to exercise more se-
dately, by writing letters or knitting.

Another provision of the fitness pro-
gram was that one of the three periods a
week was to be devoted to calisthenics.
This year, calisthenics is offered at the
opening of every physical education class.

Before graduating, each girl must now
pass a swimming test, consisting of a
demonstration of ability to swim three
hundred feet, and to stay afloat for 15
minutes. There are no longer swimming
classes during the day, as the Army has
priority on use of the swimming pool for
the duration; however, classes are held in
the evenings, with preference being given
to those seniors who have not passed their
swimming test.

Miss Totman had a hopeful vision. The
freshman class must take, during one
season of the year, the course offered in
modern dancing, to insure, optimistically,
the continuance of grace and shapeliness
among State coeds!

The Outing Club has continued to
function this year even though the ma-
jority of the members are in the armed
forces. The girls have carried on a sched-
ule similar to that of last year, although
on a much smaller scale due to trans-
portation difficulties, the accelerated pro-
gram, and crowded schedules.

During the fall, several bike trips were
made through the surrounding towns. On
a trip to Northfield and Winchester, N.
H., the members mapped an A.Y.H. ski
trail to be developed after the war. Two
weekends were spent climbing Mounts
Toby and Warner, while plans are being
laid for a trip to Mount Tom this spring.

Only winter activities the club par-
ticipated in, were skating and a little
Amherst skiing. In co-operation with the
4-H Club, four successful square dances
were held.

Officers are: President, Margie Reed;
Treasurer, Ginny Tripp; Corresponding
and Recording Secretaries, Lucie Zwisler
and "Twink" Bousquet; Publicity Man-
ager, Bob Young.

GUiA

The M.S.C. 4-H Club has been just as
active this war year as ever, for the
4-H-ers have worked to fulfill their pledge
of service with "head, heart, hands, and
health." Refreshments and entertainment
at monthly meetings gave the many ar-
dent members on campus an added incen-
tive for participation. In addition to other
activities, the club has taken part in radio
programs. Among these was a New Year's
broadcast put on entirely by State stu-
dents with the assistance of Grunow O.
Oleson, extension editor.

Until February, the club was under
the able leadership of Elmer Clapp,
President; Barbara Bemis, Secretary;
Betty Mentzer, Treasurer ;Marjorie Reed,
Entertainment Chairman; and Mary
Milner, Refreshment Chairman. After
elections, these officers were relieved by
an equally efficient executive board con-
sisting of Mary Milner, President; Jack
Blalock, Vice-President; Betty Mentzer,
Secretary; Claire Healy, Treasurer; Pat
Jennings, Recreation Chairman; Faith
Clapp, Refreshment Committee Chair-
man; Emerson Hibbard and Mary Alice
Cande, Executive Committee.

The Swimming Club of the Women's
Athletic Association came into being
when a group of girls organized a swim-
ming pageant for Mother's Day in 1939.
Since then its popularity has been contin-
ually increasing. In 1940-41, the swim-
ming team, later to expand into a fully-
organized club, was national champion
in the Eastern Region National Inter-
collegiate Telegraphic Meets, against
some of the country's leading coed and
women's colleges.

During the 1941-1942 season, the club
was newly organized and began to hold
regular weekly meetings. The training
program concentrated on two phases,
formation and speed swimming. That

year set the precedent for the water ballet
which has been a popular feature of the
Freshman Play Day for the last three
years. Also introduced were an inter-
sorority tournament and inter-class meets.
In January, a ballet team of ten girls
was invited to appear in a New England
Championship meet at Whitinsville,
Massachusetts. The ballet proved so
successful that, at the meet, the team re-
ceived an invitation to reappear at the
Junior Nationals in Worcester the same
month. Complying with the request of
the campus, the team exhibited their
famed performance at Winter Carnival
in M.S.C.'s own Whitcomb Pool. The
ballerinas swimming were Ruth Howarth

Jo Freclandcr, Dot Hurlock,

Mary K. Haughey and Doris Sheldon.

At its final appearance for the year, on
Mother's Day, Martha Hall, Margery
Reed, and Margaret Perkins were added
to the group.

Again, that year, the swimming team
was National champion at the Telegraphic
Meet, with Skidmore second, and North-
western University third. Having been
the winner of the nationals the previous
j^ear also, they were qualified as Eastern
Region sponsors. Two new national rec-
ords were set: the 100-yard free style re-
lay timed at 52.8 seconds by Dorothy
Colburn, Martha Hall, Mary K. Haughey
and Ruth Howarth Baer; and the 75-yard
relay by Baer, Hall, and Colburn in 44.5
seconds. Then, after Ruth Howarth Baer
had won the 100-yard backstroke set in
1:11.8 and the 100-yard breaststroke in
1:21.8, the Mass. State girls held four
national records.

In 1942-1943 Frances M. Gasson '43
entered her second year of managing the
club, feeling fortunate that it was one
of the few organizations on campus that
did not sufl^er severely from war eft'ects.
The water ballet was again staged at
Freshman Play Day. Inter-house meets
created a warm enthusiasm and swim-
ming became foremost among girls' sports
at M.S.C.

At the Telegraphic meet in March,
1943, Skidmore and the University of
Pennsylvania won first and second places,
while the team from State College won
third. Ruth Baer broke her own record by
swimming the 100-yard breaststroke in
1:19.4.

This year, with Carolyn Whitmore '46
as manager, the Club, under the name,

"The Naiads," had as its aim the im-
provement of strokes, formation swim-
ming, and speed. Again, it presented the
Play Day pageant. At the weekly meet-
ings, games were played for practice and
entertainment. An interclass meet was
held, at which Barbara Cole was manager
of the freshmen, Ethel Libby of the sopho-
mores, Marjorie Huff and Barbara Burke
of juniors and seniors combined. The
meet, from which the junior-senior group
emerged as champions, consisted of the
following: 25-yard crawl, 25-yard back
crawl, 50-yard back crawl, 100-yard comic
relay, 100-yard free style, 25-yard breast-
stroke, 75-yard medley relay, and diving.

This year the girls plan to keep up the
reputation won by the Men's Swimming
Team of M.S.C. in the past, as well as
their own.

Now, as to whether the gentle art of
navigating the human body through
chlorine-colored H2O is conducive to
streamlining said cellular structure so as
to present a pleasing appearance, or not,
may be deduced from a mere glance at
the accompanying photographic evidence
which is here exhibited as scientific proof
of this commonly-held hypothesis.

A year has passed since the campus
reverberated with cheers of sports' fans.
Football games are only memories of
sunny fall days and maroon sweatshirts
of football players. Now M.S.C remem-
bers plodding through snowdrifts to wit-
ness basketball games in the cage, and
reading of the victories of M.S.C. 's track
and swimming teams.

Absence of varsity teams does not mean
that the physical education department
has stowed away its equipment and
locked its doors for the duration. On the
contrary, Curry Hicks, director of the
department, reports that the building and
facilities have been in constant use since
the government sent 750 air cadets here.
In the Army Air Force physical training
program, the building is used ten hours
in an eleven-hour day. In addition, the
cadets may use it during open-post.

The remaining hour, between five and
six is important to M.S.C.'s men, as they
can then use the building and all the
equipment. They can also organize teams
for any sport desired. Freshman boys
have their required "Physied" course
then. However, the equipment may be
used by M.S.C. students any time of
the day if they wish to hold activities
outside of the building. Proof that men's
sports have not been stifled by the Army
program, is found in the freshman swim-
ming team which competed with several
high schools this year, and in the intra-
mural basketball tournaments.

The "ole apple" isn't being swatted
about this year, but the Index presents
a short resume of the 1943 season, es-
pecially for M.S.C.'s few men.

Although formal baseball was impos-
sible, a small, enthusiastic squad took
part in a satisfactory informal .schedule.
The team was handicapped by lack of

pitchers, only five in the squad, and only
one with varsity experience. However,
this was balanced by fair hitting and
exceptional fielding. Coaching was cap-
ably undertaken by Coach "Herb" Gill,
while the manager was Elmer Clapp '44.
Captain was catcher "Matty" Ryan '43.

The season's battles included two easy
victories over the Amherst College Junior
Varsity at the hands of inexperienced
pitcher Ray Kneeland '44 and freshman
Joe Segel. The scores were 6-2, and 9-3.
The next game was an 8-2 defeat by Fort
Devens. However, three double plays,
the three hits of shortstop Dick Maloy
'43, a miraculous shoestring catch by
freshman outfielder, Ed McGrath and
throws to second by catcher Matty Ryan
were all features of the game. The sea-
son's successful conclusion was a sensa-
tional 1-0 upset of Springfield College's
winning team. The pitching assignment
was handled by "Ted" Brutcher '44, who
held the visitors to five hits that day. As
in other games, superb fielding was re-
sponsible for the fine showing.

Because of the informality of the team,
letters could not be awarded to all who
would ordinarily be eligible. However,
letters were awarded to "Les" Rich '43,
Merwin "Spooks" Magnin '43, and
Elmer Clapp, manager, on the basis of
their previous varsity record.

The Homestead, model home .... One of the
greatest problems presented by our changed
campus, has been that of housing. Innumerable
alterations were necessary to change a sufficient
number of ex-fraternity houses into satisfactory
girls' dorms. Because of excellent co-operation and
hard work, they are now functioning efficiently
under the supervision of Professor Vondell.

"Housemothers? What are they for?
To keep us quiet when we want to talk,
shoo away our men when we want to
entertain, and make life generally miser-
able?"

"Well, maybe so. But that isn't what
we coeds think this year, and we should
know. We've had housemothers enough — •
eighteen of them of all sorts and sizes,
ranging from ex-students to women who
have spent years in South America or
other fascinating places."

A "frarority" girl speaks: "'What do
we think of them'? That they're pretty
swell. 'Why?' Because they've done so
much for us. They've helped us clean up
the houses we were to live in, and brought
their pictures and books and personal
treasures to brighten up living rooms.
Exam time came, and with it coffee and
our favorite kinds of sandwiches to keep
us awake since we would stay up. And
later in the year, if we were found up
studying at three in the morning, were we
pre-emptorily sent to bed? No, a clucking

of the tongue, a shake of the head, and the
housemother faded away into darkness
to return with a blanket for our feet and a
box of crackers for our morale."

A sorority girl speaks: "Our opinion?
Well, we heartily concur with all that the
'frarority' girl says. In whom can we
always confide our daily problems and be
sure of receiving consolation? Why, the
housemother. And when 'possessed' by
the various human ills, ranging from
a simple headache to the 'clutches' of the
prevalent grippe, we can always count
on her to see that we have proper care,
relieving 'mother' of the worry of her
'dotter' wasting away to a shadow with
no one to witness her sad demise. She's
lots of fun — always good for a 'fourth' at
bridge and a cup of hot coffee afterwards
to revive the 'gals' who got 'set' proper.
She's interested in us — a real friend. Our
blessings on the housemother!"

This year's housemothers are: Mrs.
Gertrude Bedell, Pi Beta Phi; Mrs.
Henry Broughton, Kappa Sigma; Mrs.
W. W. Buis, Alpha Gamma Rho; Mrs.
Abby Jane Campion, Sigma Kappa;
Mrs. Sara Coolidge, Homestead; Miss

Where once there were heavy dark
drapes, there are now white curtains with
gay tiebacks. Where once boys' battered
bikes httered the lawn and porch, girls'
bikes lean against the house or stand on
the sidewalk. Instead of the familiar thud
of men's feet pouncing across the porch
there comes the scuffling of women's
loafers. Instead of "Alpha Gam" broth-
ers tying ties, struggling into sweaters as
they scramble for their eight o'clock class-
es, M.S.C. coeds come sauntering forth.

The inside of the house, too, has under-
gone a drastic change. It has been cleaned,
painted, and repaired for occupancy by
fifteen upperclass girls. Alpha Gamma
Rho's first floor is composed of three com-
fortable living rooms, and the quarters
of Mrs. Frederick Buis, well-liked house-
mother of the "frarority." Second and
third floors are used for studying and
sleeping. The cellar serves as "rec" room,
and the kitchen in the cellar affords a
handy place to keep and prepare food for
those important midnight snacks.

Alpha Gamma Rho's notorious "bull"
sessions have capitulated to the "gab"
fests of a girl's dormitory.

Counting the few boys at the Hillel
House, there are now two male-inhabited
fraternity houses.

When North College became the home
of half a hundred Officer Candidates,
former M.S.C. mili-majors, in December,
the male underclassmen moved to the
Alpha Sigma Phi house. One of the first
official acts was the changing of the name ;
a shiny new "State House" sign now
reposes over the front door. Since then,
nine of the twenty "State Housemen"
have gone into the services.

Except for guests at the gala Christmas
vie party, the house remained strictly
a masculine stronghold — with one excep-
tion— Ruler of the Roost was mascot
Baroness Heddy, an English Bull.

Probably banded together for protec-
tion against the feminine hordes, they
formed a compact, closely-knit, little
group which contributed much to campus
life this year, having two members in the
Mikado and two on the Winter Carnival
Committee. Officers elected at the be-
ginning of the year were Dave Eldridge,
President; George Little, Vice-President;
George Fairchild, Secretary; and Bill
Courchene, Treasurer.

/C. x:.

It was "Cherchez la t'emme!" when
you entered Alpha Tau Gamma this fall,
for something had been added. Gleaming
new paint and feminine fripperies had put
a new face on the former Stockbridge
fraternity.

A.T.G. was the center of much excite-
ment at the time of the robbery (see page
136) for it was there the thief "lifted"
$40 from one of the girls. Another "fra-
ternity" sister saw a face at her window
that fateful night.

Seeking refuge from the ordeals of
student life and the unfeminine parts of
the house, the seventeen girls frequently
visited the room of Miss Ethel Rowland,
the housemother, who listened to all coed
problems with an understanding mind.

Decorating the house stairway was
the skull of a cow with the initials A.T.G.
written on its forehead — Altogether Too
Gruesome as far as the inhabitants are
concerned. Also notorious is the tele-
phone, which is very public. The sighs
that accompanied, "Why yes, I'd love
to!" were much too well-known to the
sixteen housemates who lived behind the
surrounding five doors.

/7. 7. g.

Stockbridge men, too, have left the
hallowed halls of their domain — K.K. —
to the coeds. Dismayed by its rundown
appearance, some withdrew, but eight
hardy souls stuck to their paint brushes.
The girls scrubbed, painted, and var-
nished. Their charming and co-operative
housemother, Mrs. Thorkil Fog, lent a
decorative hand and made new curtains,
and slip-covers for the living room chairs.
This room, with its attractive fireplace,
is now a paragon of comfort and charm
through everyone's help.

Until frigid temperatures drove them
in, the girls slept on the porch. A foraging
expedition into the attic brought forth
trophies for decoration. One enterprising
young lady made use of a "reflector"
arrow — commonly found in the possession
of the State Highway Commission.

Always on hand to help was friendly
Mrs. Fog, who proved herself a good
sport and jolly companion as well at
K. K.'s rollicking Hallowe'en party. At
the beginning of second semester, a few
girls from other houses moved in and
Carolyn Whitmore was chosen house-
chairman to replace Ruth Howarth Baer
when she graduated.

Incredible, but true: Kappa Sigma, no-
torious for its consistent lack, why, re-
fusal, of men callers, a house of seriously
minded diamond-wearers and students.
The one steady guest is Kappa Sigma's
house brother, who calls not only on his
"gal" but on the entire 35 girls.

Peggy Bishop is house chairman over
thirty-two freshmen and three seniors.
To help in their house cafeteria, presided
over by Mrs. Graves, popular cook, the
girls have established a system of co-oper-
ative waitress duty.

In each of the second and third floor
dorms, the coeds have pushed their
double-deckers together in sets of three, so
that five or six girls can occupy one bed.
During finals week, they slept in shifts
of half an hour in a rotating manner which
kept the lights burning and the girls
grinding all night. Freshman fancies!

Kappa Sigma has come to recognize
strange stirrings at dawn, gratefully, as
Mrs. Broughton thoughtfully rises to
turn on the heat before sleepy eight
o'clock fans shiver toward the bath room.
During Mrs. Broughton's unfortunate
absence due to ill health, Mrs. Loomis,
her substitute, won the girls with candy.

JlantMaxi Qlu

Lambda Chi is no exception to pre-
vailing fraternity invasion, and halls
once sacred to the male element are being
called "home" by nearly thirty upper-
class girls. The rooms have gone through
a transformation to be expected with the
advent of the skirted population. In the
study rooms especially, bright new cur-
tains have been hung, windows scrubbed,
and even rugs laid! Pictures of men in
uniform (not Vic Mature) have taken
over the Varga Girl's position of honor.
The success of the change has been due
in no small part to the housemother, Miss
Lucy Thayer.

One thing unchanged, however, is the
hospitality extended to all. Open house is
held every evening until eight o'clock for
the special benefit of State's air students.
"Vic" parties are on the list to keep up
the morale of both soldiers and civilians,
but in these, the famed fraternity vic-
party "blackouts" will go down under
the coed thumb, and the multicolored
bulbs will be tossed in the ash can.

Lambda Chi is also the weekly ren-
dezvous of the Quadrangle Club, who
invite faculty members to their meetings
to better student-faculty relationships.

2. v. V.

At Q.T.V. in September, the ladies
finally gained entry into the sanctum
sanctorum of the fraternity brothers.
Instead of masculine monstrosities, tiny
feminine feet trod the spacious lawn; and
magazines had changed from Esquire to
Vogue — at least according to the evidence
scattered in the parlor.

As their predecessors had done, the
twenty-one girls slept on two levels on the
third floor amid the groans and squeaks
of the 40-odd-year old house. Occasionally
a little excitement was produced. In the
middle of one night, the girls were awak-
ened by blood-curdling screams and
"leaped from their beds" just in time to
see one of their number take to the stairs
in record time. They followed, demanding
to know the cause of the disturbance.
The nearly hysterical revelation of the
advent of a bat resulted in a mass exodus
to the lower regions.

The coeds living in Q.T.V. were for-
tunate in having for their housemother
gracious and lovely Mrs. Eaton, and
capable Sybil Minkin for house chairman;
and, more materially, a muralled rec-
room.

Upon entering the S.A.E. house with a
visitor's inquisitive politeness, some of
the feminine inhabitants will attempt to
show off the modernly-equipped kitchen
with the ironing board (object of pil-
grimage from A.T.G.); the penthouse of
two proud roommates; the absence of
double deckers in the dormitory; the
green light that is kept burning all night
as in "the third degree torture chamber."
Stories are prevalent about the nocturnal
tiptoeings to trace the snorers, who are
invariably soothed to silence by the floor
creaking under the snoopers.

Downstairs, the girls have large study
rooms, in which three or four roommates
combine a dozen radio programs, includ-
ing those from A.T.G. by means of open
doors and windows. Here, too, they enjoy
the coziness of having one closet — with a
tie rack — for four girls.

Despite this apparent incongruity, the
S.A.E. feminine inhabitants realize a home
through the thoughtful guidance and
attention of their housemother, Mrs.
Ernestine Reed; and live as happily as
fifteen girls can.

"Can't we paint it dusky rose? It'd
look so much more cheerful at 6:30 in
the morning." — "But maybe the boys
like it pea green and royal blue." — "Oh,
gee, Mrs. Linton." — "Well, I'll see what
I can do."

So forth goes the emissary, T.E.P.'s
housemother, to the higher powers, to do
battle for the decorative taste of her
brood of coeds.

They still brush their teeth in a sickly
green atmosphere each morning, but there
icere improvements. T.E.P. house had its
face lifted by application of soap and
water, new drapes, and a cheerful picture
here and there. Only one thing was
lacking.

Then came Junior and Jimmy and their
G. I. pals, and life for the T.E.P. girls
was quite complete (almost too much so
when an ungallant G.I. started popping
out from behind sofas to see how the
Tepites looked on the "morning after"
New Year's Eve.) It was, however, a
peaceful life in the main, though second
floor ablutions embarrassed first floor
social life and first floor good night hand-
shakes occasionally awoke third floor
greasy grinds. For hearty hospitality, may
it long be remembered that "T.E.P. was
Hep."

Theta Chi is in the novel situation of
being the only fraternity house on campus
to have an equal number of freshman and
upperclass women living together. Ob-
viously, this proved to be a bug in the
carefully laid rushing plans of the Pan-
hellenic Council. As a result, it ruled that
for the duration of rushing, upperclass
girls living in the house were to have
nothing to do with the frosh, thus creating
a difficult situation, easily understood by
anyone who has attempted to completely
ignore another person who eats, sleeps,
and studies under the same roof.

Mrs. Dorothy Phillips, who was house-
mother at North College last year, is
housemother at Theta Chi this year.
She is well-known for the active and
sympathetic interest she takes in every
one of her charges.

A cafeteria has been opened in Theta
Chi which feeds forty girls of all four
classes who live not only in the house,
but in nearby fraternity houses. Es-
pecially gleeful are those damsels who
spent the summer contemplating the joys
of climbing up Butterfield hill in a Feb-
ruai-y blizzard for a meal.

BuilerV\eU llouse

Butterfield House is the place from
which coeds coasted down the hill, last
year, during the "ice days, " and to which
mud-caked summer school dungarees
panted home from after-class work on the
farm, last summer. The freshman girls'
dormitory, its situation is particularly
appropriate. The view from the terrace —
campus and valley — furnishes material
for sentimental dissertations on sunsets
to which only freshman themes can do
justice in their gushy rapture. With Mrs.
Whipple's housemotherly help, the girls
provide for the cadets a cheerful place
to spend free time.

Butterfield is the house with corridors
that are periodically blocked with maple
furniture and stuffed animals, while half-
dressed roommates slide over the floor
within on black-and-blue knees and a
little wax. Besides being officially fresh-
man dorm and a dining hall, Butterfield
is regarded with personal affection as
the house on the hill, from which troups
of coeds come singing to Social Union
programs. Despite its 150-gal capacity,
Butterfield was able to hold but two-
thirds of the freshmen.

BidHe^i^id

At five o'clock in the morning, the
clanging milk cans are the daily seren-
aders of the fifteen girls living at Draper.
The discordant clangor presents itself as
warning to the girls that six o'clock is
approaching. At this time, the drowsy
damsels arise to serve the seven hundred
fifty soldiers of the 58th College Training
Detachment in Draper Dining Hall.
Theirs is the responsibility of satisfying
the gastronomical needs of the cadets.

In a sense, these girls are regimented,
as they must not only be students in col-
lege but must also adjust themselves to
working a number of hours at each meal.
The cycle of work, study, sleep is broken
only by nightly "discussion groups,"
which invariably consider what "that
cute cadet in Company C" said. Many
of the girls relinquish their own vacations
to see that the holiday-less cadets are
fed; and on Christmas they gladly gave
up their time to create decorations and
suitable atmosphere for the soldiers who
are far from home.

Co-operation, necessary to systematized
work, has broken down any barriers which
might have existed. Hence, the atmos-
phere is the friendliest on campus.

QoUeae,

North College, headquarters of the
"Ec" Department and site of the C-
Store, used to be a girls' dorm. When the
Air Corps occupied the dormitories and
girls took over the fraternity houses,
MEN invaded North College.

They were to lead no peaceful life. In
the middle of the first semester, forty-five
R.O.T.C. majors returned to campus
while waiting for places at the Officers'
Candidate School in Georgia. The girls
greeted them with enthusiasm, and the
North College fellows moved to the
fourth floor. Thence they could be seen
filing every morning before eight o'clock,
armed with towel and tooth brush, to
their basement bath room. Then, too,
some moved to Alpha Sigma Phi, now
"State House."

When the R.O.T.C. left unexpectedly,
a month after its arrival, the civilians
moved back to the second floor. Then one
joined the Naval Air Corps and another
was stationed with the A-12 program at
Amherst College. At present, eleven fresh-
men share the house with two upper class-
men welcomed back from service — Arnold
Murray and Stanley Sherman.

The inhabitants of North College es-
pecially pride themselves on having been
the leaders in what they call "the revolt
against the Senate." During hazing week,
there was disagreement with the Senate's
verdict at a freshman trial at which the
dunking sentence was pronounced. Half
of the freshmen present at the execution
were inhabitants of North College and
took part in turning the tables on the
sophs.

For intellectual stimulation. North
College commonly adjourns to its house
library, the barber shop.

Down past the Abbey on North
Pleasant Street stands a typical old New
England farmhouse that has been there
over two hundred years watching Am-
herst, and particularly Massachusetts
State College, since its founding. Once,
this was the college farmhouse, but now
it is the Homestead, practice house for
seniors majoring in Home Economics.

Every six weeks sees about eight
seniors moving in and out of this pre-
Revolutionary house. Here the girls learn
to put into the actual practice of every-
day living the theory that they have
gathered in the last three years. The girls
plan balanced meals and prepare them in
the scientifically planned kitchen. They
do the marketing and take complete care
of the house. Each girl has an opportunity
to be "homemaker"; that is, to direct
the group under the able leadership of
Mrs. Coolidge who presides as house-
mother and counselor to the girls.
While they live in the Homestead, the
Home Ec-ers make interesting studies
and experiments to test their own effi-
ciency in meal preparation and time
planning. Especially stressed is the plan-
ning of well balanced meals on various
actual-cost levels.

But the Homestead is not only a place,
for seniors. About once a week, early in
the morning, members of the junior class
may be seen entering to prepare early
breakfast for the still slumbering resi-
dents. Many of the Home Economics
Club meetings are held in this model home
atmosphere, and annually the clothing
classes display their latest creations at a
tea given here at the center of all the
Home Ec-er activities.

Dean "Wee Willie" Machmer . . . one of the
solid, unchanging things the seniors will remember
about their Alma Mater. Now, instead of the safe,
dependable routine of classes and labs, C-Store
coke fests and bull-sessions, the Class of 1944
faces a weary, war-damaged world in need of
youthful energy, noble ideals, and high hearts.

The Board of The 1944 Index in a Woman's World wishes to thank the following for their admirable
spirit of co-operation.

Professor John H. Vondell contributed the frontispiece, the shot of the Memorial Room fireplace, the
"State House" and Quadrangle groups, the portrait of Edith Lincoln, and that of Queen Elaine.

Doctor Theodore C. Caldwell contributed the dedication admirably expressing M.S.C. out-of-the-
Services' feelings towards M.S.C. in-the-Services.

George "Red" Emery of the Alumni Office furnished the pictures and information on the Alumnae.

President Hugh P. Baker sent the Index a message that emphasized M.S.C. 's help in the war effort, and
seconded the Board's opinion that 1943-44 is a woman's year on campus.

Doctor Vernon P. Helming of the Division of Liberal Arts wrote on the ideals of the Phi Beta Kappa;
and Doctor Leon Bradley of the Division of Physical and Biological Sciences on Sigma Chi.

"Kay" Tully of the College News Service presented the Index with a lovely scene of the Rhododendron
Garden and the graduation picture.

Doctor Maxwell H. Goldberg, Index literary advisor, calmed the exuberant enthusiasm of the Editor-
in-Chief down to a working level, and inspired the Board to strive for accuracy in the interest of future
historians.

Professor Lawrence S. Dickinson, financial advisor, not only provided an example of indefatigable
energy, but figured out proportions for senior informals and was figuratively a handy shoulder for upset
editors.

"Hermie" Gottesman contributed the pictures of the Freshman fishing party, the Carolers, and Sigma
Kappa House.

"Bettye" Huban volunteered an afternoon's typing; Elmer Clapp wrote of baseball; and "Kits" Thayer
contributed two articles.

Other students besides "Ellie" Dudley and Board Members wrote articles for the "Memories" section,
but as the subjects treated were professors, pseudonyms have been used in the interest of normal faculty-
student relations.

Harold Johnson of Andover Press was generous with helpful suggestions, and technical information about
fitting titles to the pages.

Margaret Saunders of Greylock Photo-Engraving Company made the question of cuts and such even
enjoyable.

Arthur Alvin, South Hadley photographer, took pictures about campus just as directed, and made sure
M.S.C.'s coeds looked their glamorous best.

Underclassmen made rapid social adjustments
to the army-invaded campus. . . .Through the
efforts of the U.S.O. successful dances have pro-
moted friendly relationships between underclass
women and air students. In academic adjustments
they have gladly given up classrooms and labora-
tories, and have attended classes at unusual hours
so that the army program might run smoothly.

Leaving Bowker Auditorium after Glee Club
rehearsal. . . To compensate for loss of intercol-
legiate games and other traditions, many students
participated in extracurricular activities this year.
They find enjoyment in working for literary pub-
lications, dramatic and music societies, which are
Academic Activities and thus profitable in credits
toward the coveted Academic Activities pins.

^e4fUnU^v^ ^o^vce A/oua

Despite many war-time obstacles, the
Collegian is one tradition that Massa-
chusetts State College has carried fore-
ward with little outward sign of change.
However, the inner workings have gone
through quite a revolution. Barbara
Pullan, '45, the second woman ever to
hold the position of Editor-in-chief, has
carried her responsibility with an ease
and enthusiasm worthy of a veteran.
Editor Pullan was at the disadvantage,
as was the rest of the weekly's staff, that
there were few, if any, of the old guard
left (Pun on national situation possible
here!), to advise and assist at the crucial
times. For the first time in the history of
the College, the Collegian's staff has been
predominatingly feminine.

When elections were held early this
March, students became even more con-
vinced that this is a woman's world, on
campus, at least. Editor Pullan was

chosen to fill, for another year, the post
that she had so faithfully held this past
year; Alma Rowe was appointed Asso-
ciate Editor. Irmarie Scheuneman be-
came Managing Editor, to be assisted by
Pauline Lambert. Kay Dellea was re-
appointed Collegian secretary. For the
first time in the history of the paper, as
far as is known, a freshman, Rosemary
Speer, became News Editor. Lonely
male, Dick March was re-elected Business
Manager.

Keeping in step with the times, a new
column has appeared on page two of this
year's Collegian. Not only does State keep
in touch with her sons in the service by
sending them the Collegian regularly, but
she also has Joe Kunces tracking down
their latest activities, adventures, and
addresses. Joe also records the visits
made to the campus by State's warriors.

week? What a howl!" seems to be the
general comment upon the newest column
where anything and everything goes . .
into print. Carol Goodchild and her
beloved pal, Donkeydust, are co-editors
of this masterpiece of humor, burlesque
and satire all rolled into one short weekly
column. Nothing is too small, too trivial,
to escape the attention of these writers;
even the ever-present puddle between
Draper and Stockbridge has gained fame
and recognition through them.

During the first semester, Bob Young's
column, "Musical Revue," greatly inter-
ested the music lovers on campus. Here
could be found news of concerts sched-
uled for Amherst and surrounding towns.
Bob kept track of what the critics were
saying and thinking, and passed this on
to his fellow students.

"Quarterly Clippings," now a regular
weekly feature of the Collegia?! made
its debut as a result of war-time factors
making impossible the publication of a
separate magazine as in former years.
Instead of discontinuing the literary
efforts of the campus for the duration,
the Collegian agreed to cooperate and
each week on page four is found quite a
sizeable section devoted to the more
literary type of writing.

Believing that we know too little about
our own professors, there is a new oifering
in the Collegian called "Faculty." Each
week, the column's writer does a combin-
ation character sketch and biography of
some member of the faculty in an at-
tempt to make the student more familiar
with the professors on campus, and know
them as human beings, not as classroom
robots that lecture five and a half days
a week.

"Co-editing" is still carried on in all
its pertinence or, as some think, im-

pertinence. In this column, is a definite
reflection of co-ed opinion and the frank
presentation of the feminine point of view.
Many of the co-ed's problems are dis-
cussed in this column, and often, it might
be called "advice to the feminine ele-
ment." Since Ruth Sperry's retirement,
great secrecy has been maintained about
who wields the pen behind this feature.

With all the current interest in the
post-war future and what it holds in
store, the Collegian has a new angle with a
column called "Yesterdays," recounting
events in the opposite direction, the past.
Present-day students are really amazed
at the long-ago vitality of the little college
at the northern end of the country town,
Amherst; and the writer deserves a great
deal of credit for thumbing through
archives to dig out this information.

Despite the difficulties that it faced,
the Collegian Staff has conscientiously
written up Massachusetts State College's
weekly history, as is evidenced by the
"midnight mazda" burned consistently
in the basement of Memorial Building.
Yet, like the Index Board, the Collegian
Staff gets little recognition for its efforts.
Salud, amigas!

The 1944 Index Board would have
been inconceivable before the World War,
when only a handful of women had
braved the masculine stares of Massa-
chusetts Agricultural College. In fact, it
was not until 1940 that the Index had its
first woman editor, Edith "Micky"
Clark; and she had only four women on
her staff, including Lois Doubleday (now
Mrs. Kuralowicz) and Meg Marsh, who
were later to be Editor-in-chief and
Photographic Editor respectively of the
1942 Index, but Micky's board had
twenty-one men! Just as the number of
women in the student body of Massa-
chusetts State College almost equalled
that of men just before the War of the
Four Freedoms began, the Index Board
was about equally divided then, with
male ideas still dominant through the
force of tradition. But when most of
M.S.C.'s men marched off to military
action, the Index Board, like Byron,
woke up to find itself — not famous, but
feminine. It also discovered that its
campus world had become strikingly
feminine, had shaken oft' some of the
shackles of shan'ts long established by a
masculine student body, and that the

5=^^=

yearbook had a chance to mirror this
historically interesting change of sex.

As planned and directed by Editor-in-
chief Annette (Twink) Bousquet, the
1944 Index was written from the wom-
an's angle. In the Literary realm, ruled
by Ruth Murray, there was a Mementoes
section of memories women would like
to redream in future years, a page of
nostalgic, and still, a page of flip-
pant remembrance; articles of women's
interest such as those on the swimming
club, girl's gym, housemothers; and other
articles — summer session, frosh hazing,
and alumni — slanted to the coed's view-
point. In the Statistics department,
headed by hard-working Sally Boyden,
the personal touches beloved of women —
nicknames and descriptive phrases —
made their appearance; and dry statis-
tics (darling of the male) were eliminated
as far as possible. As for illustrations,
newcomer Connie Dorgan's pen was
lightly satiric — and altogether feminine.
In her drawings the same tender or teas-
ing humor which peeked from headlines
and "boo!"ed from articles made itself
very clearly visible.

Beulahmae Kolb, dynamic, blond Busi-
ness Manager, and her assistants, Ellen
(Red Efficiency) Kane, and new member
Ruth Reynolds, attended to the Board's
business dealings — buying the cover,
scheduling senior portraits and campus
shots with the 1944 Index photographer,
selling advertisements, taking orders for
books on into April — with feminine
methods and business success.

Other members of the Board were Lee
Filios, Associate Editor, who wrote edi-
torial letters to absent students and the
Board's non-College associates, and filed
the informal snapshots of the seniors;
Literary members, Kay Dellea and Marie

Hauck; and newly-elected writers, Ele
Bryant, Lois Banister, "Jidge" Gould,
"McGee" O'Hagerty, and Eva Schiffer
who slaved in that ascending order;
Statistics members, Ethel Whitney, Dotty
Beach, Midge Gunther, and Mary Carney
and newly-elected statisticians Barbara
Crowther, Ellie Nason, Nancy Newell,
and Millie Griffiths.

All worked, in the Index's corner of
the College War Information Service
room, to make the "woman's yearbook"
an annual that could be compared only
favorably with those published before
the men left and after they return. In
this they had the assistance of two com-
panies. The Andover Press of Andover,
and Greylock Photo-Engraving Company
of North Adams, who repeated the good
work they had done the previous year;
and the help of a new photographer.

South Hadley's noted Arthur Alvin.

The only male influence on "The 1944
Index in a Woman's World " was that
furnished by the advisory reins of Doctor
Maxwell H. Goldberg, and the financial
brake of Professor Lawrence S. Dickin-
son.

Thus the Index reflects a war-year
on campus through the eyes of women left
behind. War is also apparent in the
small number of photographs, due to the
copper and film shortage, and the sub-
sequent substitution of sketches, which
are line-cuts, and thus processed with
the more-abundant metal, zinc. And the
greedy maw of war, has reduced, too, the
student fees on which the Index budget
is based, and thus the slimness of this
volume which hopes to claim quality —
even to its pre-war paper, please note —
if not quantity.

In 1936, the Collegian Quarterly was
born as a literary supplement to the
Collegian. Then, with growth of interest
in things more literary than agricultural,
it metamorphosed into a separate booklet
issued thrice yearly in its own covers.
This year, the Quarterly again appeared
as one sheet inserted in the Collegian —
but only because of the war-drawn limits
of the Collegian budget rather than
because of any lack of interest and spirit
among readers and contributors.

In this very emergency, the strength
of the Quarterly idea, that of a literary
organ to reflect the ideas of the portion
of the student body literarily-creative,
proved itself. Last year's editorial board
had adjourned to the war; but under the
guidance of Dr. Maxwell H. Goldberg,
its faculty advisor since it came into
being, a group who believed in the
Quarterly met to read, discuss, and select
contributions for a potential issue. An
executive board, consisting of David
Balise '47, chairman; Roberta Miehlke

'44, secretary; Barbara Cross '46, Jason
Kirshen '46, and Eva Schifl^er '46, was
elected to compose the issue. After four
two-hour sessions, the material selected
by fifteen to twenty students was turned
over to the editorial board, who prepared
the two-page issue. Though, because of
lack of funds, there could be no second
issue of the Quarterly this year, the gen-
erous interest of the Collegian dedicated
a weekly section to "Quarterly Clip-
pings, " articles for which there was not
enough room in the issue.

The Quarterly is a mosaic. Its contribu-
tions are of many sizes and forms, of vary-
ing brilliance and color. It strives for
excellence; but, as a mosaic, it seeks
artistic balance. Poetry and fiction —
short stories and character sketches;
critical and familiar essays, serious,
whimsical, and satiric — all these compose
it. Written by undergraduates, faculty
members, aviation students, and alumni,
some in the Armed Forces as far away as
India and the Middle East, — written by
that part of M.S.C. with an urge for
written expression, these bits of literary
tile make for the mosaic which is the
Quarterly.

The Quarterly needs more than the
interest of contributors and critics and
the patience of compilers. An artistic
effort, it needs the effort of all writers
to make it grow; the appreciation of all
readers to want it and judge it. Only
then is the Quarterly's creative circle
complete.

In April, election of the 1945 Board
was held with those chosen determined
to carry out the Quarterly policy decided
this year.

The familiar maroon-and-white "M"
book, edited by the S.C.A., gave the
freshmen information about the customs
and campus of Massachusetts State Col-
^ lege again this year under such headings
as Religious Activities, Student Govern-
ment, Academic Activities, Traditions
and Customs, and Sports. M.S.C., as
usual indoctrinated its newest members.

If a freshman girl wondered, wide-eyed,
about some detail of fall or spring rush-
ing, she had only to turn to that section
headed "Social Activities" to find com-
plete Rushing Regulations. Convenient,
too, was "Who's Who at M.S.C." by
which the unenlightened could learn the
names, at least, of some of the campus
celebrities. Under "Music," the so-
inclined members of the newest class
could find "vital statistics" concerning
musical organizations. Pictures of the
various governmental groups aided in
orientation. Invaluable, too, to the be-
wildered class of '47, was the guide map
of the campus with its helpful key, and
pictures of buildings.

The board is made up of students in-
terested in writing for the "M" book,
each choosing his own assignment. This
year the Frosh Bible was compiled by a
staff consisting of Anne Stafford and
Claire Healy, Co-Editors; Hyman Hersh-
man, Business Manager; Mary Jane
Bolton, Marjorie Brett, Barbara Cross,
John Delevoryas, Diane Kelton, Florence
Melnick, Anne Merrill, Eleanor Nason,
Eleanor Rockwood and Helen Timson,
Editorial Board; Lucy King and Phoebe
Wood, Business Board; and Rev. W.
Burnet Easton, Faculty Advisor.

Despite greatly reduced membership,
this is the second year that the Debating
Club has continued under the able direc-
tion of Mr. Mark Rand, debating coach
at Northampton High School. President
Emerson Hibbard '46, and Managers
Roger Richards '46 and Genevieve Novo
'46 are striving for an expansion and
strengthening of the club.

At weekly meetings, the members
Roger Richards '46, Ruth Reynolds '46,
Jason Kirshen '46, Joseph Kunces '45,
Jack Blalock '46, Genevieve Novo '46,
and Emerson Hibbard '46 test their
forensic ability through intra-club de-
bates. A sample was presented at the
January 13th convocation, in the form
of a debate on the subject, "Resolved:
That an international police force should
be established after the war." The club
lost Richard Joyce '46, former president,
to the Army in January.

Though lack of transportation re-
stricted inter-collegiate debates, a debate
was held here against Rhode Island State
College.

Femininity took over the Roister Dois-
ters, State's dramatic society, this year
just as every other campus Academic
Activity was transformed. Lack of actors
and over abundance of actresses led to the
temporary aboHshment of the customary
Inter-class Play Competition Social Union
program. In its place, Ophelia Takes the
Cup, written, directed, produced, and
acted by M.S.C. students, provoked roars
of laughter. A satire on campus life, the
play was based on a fictitious sorority,
Omicron Xi, as it conducted its rushing,
cattily reviewing the prospective ad-
vantages and disadvantages of having
Susie Freshman as one of their hallowed
society. Entwined in the story, were
exaggerated pictures of an informal con-
vocation, daytime library study, busy-
body housemothers, college store, both
as a rendezvous and as a place for long
hours and hard work, a freshman dormi-

tory in its confusion, and cadets. The suc-
cessful satire was produced through the
efforts of Professor Rand, club advisor;
Pauline Bell and Ruth Steele, authors;
Lee Filios and Kim Strong, creators and
directors of the dances; and Shirley
Spring, stage manager.

Officers this year were: Pauline Bell,
President; Lee Filios, Vice-President.
Members were Helen Murray, Martha
Treml, Roberta Miehlke, Betty Huban,
Mary Quinn, Doris Roberts, Kay Dellea,
Lucille Chaput, Betty Mentzer, Kim
Strong, Ruth Ewing, Barbara Bigelow,
Shirley Spring, Ruth Steele, Connie
Scott, Elaine Jones, Alice Motyka, Dor-

Edelstein, Virginia LaPlante, Mary Vir-
ginia Rice, Esther Goldstein, Dorothea
Smith, Dorothea Beach, Frances Judd,
Irmarie Scheuneman, and Herman Got-
tesman.

Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost was
given the 29th of April and at Com-
mencement. Intriguingly stylized, the
play was presented in all its unrealistic,
euphuistic comedy to the spring-fevered
audience.

The instrumental group of Massachu-
setts State College, the Sinfonietta, this
year has contributed its efforts toward
developing soloists and perfecting the
difBcult art of accompaniment.

The first and only project undertaken
this year by the Sinfonietta as a group
was the important task of rehearsing the
score of the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta,
"The Mikado." The success of the per-
formance was in large part due to the
ability of the Sinfonietta members in co-
operating with principals and chorus.

Fine accomplishment has been shown
in supplying soloists for campus affairs
and numerous concerts held in nearby
towns, thus bettering the reputation of
M.S.C.'s talent. The Cadet Band has
been thankful for the contribution of
Barbara Beals '47 and her trumpet.
John Delevoryas '46, who distinguished
himself last year as a freshman pianist,
presented a joint concert with Doric
Alviani as a Fine Arts program, and
played a special arrangement of Ravel's
"Pavanne" with the Glee Club as a
background at their concert, "My Coun-
try." Claire Healy '46 and her violin
have become well established in many
campus clubs, especially on the radio as
participant in 4-H Club programs.

The organization, composed of many

M. £. e.

more girls than boys this year, chose this
sophomore as their concertmistress. Reg-
ular rehearsals of the Sinfonietta were
held in the Memorial Hall on Wednesday
evenings under the direction of Doric
Alviani.

"Sinfoniers" and their instruments
were as follows :

Claire Healy, violin, concertmistress;
Audrey Townsend, cello; Ruby Almgren,
tuba; Cecilia Hansen, violin; Dorothy
Barrett, flute; Faith Jillson, flute; Gladys
Geiger, violin; Nancy Love, clarinet;
Barara Beals, trumpet; Lorna Calvert,
cello; Richard Swan, trombone; Jane
Turner, clarinet; Natalie Hay ward, vio-
lin; Jane Londergan, violin; Joseph
Cohen, clarinet; Carol White, violin;
Amy Clark, trombone; Dana Jost, trom-
bone; Dorothy Holly, oboe; Jean Cum-
mings, clarinet; John Delevoryas, piano.

Just as women seem to have taken the
men's places almost everywhere else, so
they have in campus music.

First big event for the Women's Glee
Club after the fall operetta (see page 122),
was the Social Union concert, "My
Country, " during the Winter Carnival.
The Glee Club opened the program
singing "My Country" with Ruth
Steele as narrator. Then the coeds' ver-
satility was really shown. Soloists Ruth
Steele and Betty Bates provided the
humorous element while Lucille Chaput
and Irene Strong carried on where Joe
Courriveau had left off in the spirituals
last year. The male contingent did well
with John Delevoryas combining with
the Glee Club to score a hit with "Pa-
vanne" and Jimmy Coffey, complete

Misses Timson. Bigelow, Strong, Harrington, Fay, Steele, Krackhardt. Bird, Lawrence, Clapp, Schultz, Ewing, Baird,

Milner, Zych, Decatur, Barron, Hodges
Thomas. Jeffway, Hauck, Winberg, Smith, Symonds, Davenport, Rieser, O'Hagerty, Edmonds, Dow, Duffy, Carlson,

Roberts, Ryan, Johnson. Rockwood

Miehlke

with nightgown and cap, following suit
to bring down the house with "Dangerous
Dan McGrew." The Glee Club also lent
their support to Jean Thomas and
Roberta Miehlke in a duet, and soloist
Elaine Schultz. Carrying on in their
accustomed role though reduced to three,
Bea Decatur, Lee Hodges and Barbara
Bird, the Statettes, "gave out" with
"People Will Say We're in Love" and a
superb arrangement of "St. Louis Blues."
The customary sextette, the Bay Sta-
tettes, were back in action this year with
Lucille Lawrence, Betsy Tilton, Jean
Thomas, Barbara Baird, Mary Milner
and Betty Bates. First they convulsed
the audience with "The Martins and the
Coys" and then impressed them with
Shostakovitz's "United Nations." The
coeds again replaced the men when an
octet, known as the "Statesmenettes, "
took the place vacated by the Statesmen.
The Statesmenettes are Wilma Winberg,
Marguerite Krackhardt, Eleanor Mon-
roe, Ruth Murray, Dorothy Johnson,

Martha Harrington, Rosemary Jeffway
and Marie Hauck, who did a "sharp job"
on "Johnny Comes Marching Home."

The Glee Club, Statettes and Betty
Bates put everything they had into the
lilting, catchy tunes from "Oklahoma"
to finish the performance on a high note.

In the "Mikado," too, the dearth of
males was evident. The role of Pish-Tush,
usually male, was jointly handled by
Lee Hodges as Pish and Barbara Bird as
Tush — or maybe it was the other way
around — anyway, they did it ! The chorus
of nobles, too, though as lusty as ever
before, had amazingly high-pitched voices.

Women's music came brilliantly into
its own in the March production of
"Hansel and Gretel. " The special adapta-
tion of the opera by Humperdinck was
produced with an all-girl cast and chorus,
of which half were Hansels and half
Gretels. The scenery was simple but
effective and the action was limited,
novelly enough, to the principals.

Grand Central Station was next as the
club presented "My Country" to the
New York alumni in the Hotel Roose-
velt. Then the girls entertained at the
famous Stage Door Canteen. On April
21, the hospitalized men of Westover
Field said of the girls and their concert,
"They're all right!" Doric was justly
proud.

Again, Glee Club aspirants in the
freshman class donned the maroon robes
so familiar to Vesper-goers to provide a
beautiful musical background to the
religious services every Simday afternoon
in Memorial Hall. This womanly year,
the voices were all feminine, emphasizing
even in religion that the 1943-1944 M.S.C.
campus is a woman's world.

But Vespers is not the only place these
hardworking freshmen were heard blend-
ing their voices. Doric Alviani in his
convocation program, "Fresh Music,"
presented his choir in their first appear-
ance on the stage of Bowker Auditorium
offering the popular "People Will Say
We're in Love," "You May Tell Them
Father, " an early American hymn tune,
and "Oh Holy Father." There again on
Scholarship Day they rendered very effec-
tively the New England folk tune, "Oh
Bury Me Not on the Deep Sea."

As traditionally at Christmas Vespers,
the Glee Club and Choir again combined
their talents. They presented "O Holy
Night" and arrangements of Christmas
carols.

This year saw the breaking of two
precedents in connection with operettas.
For the first time, a Gilbert and SulHvan
operetta was repeated, wlien the "Mi-
kado" was produced in December. The
second precedent was smashed by the
production of two operettas in one year
when "Hansel and Gretel" was put on
in March. As usual though, Doric di-
rected.

The "Mikado" was produced under
many handicaps, not the least of which
was the shortage of men. Some of the girls
successfully substituted for tenors and
basses in the male chorus, however, and
enough enterprising young men were
found to take the principal male roles.
The rest of the girls were shy and innocent
little "maids from school" and proved
very adept in the use of their fans.

The leads were taken by Bea Decatur
as Yum-Yum and John Weidhaas as
Nanki Pooh who made a fetching pair of
sweethearts. This "man and maid" were
supported by Jean Thomas as Katisha,
the villainess, horrifying and shrewish;
Abe Reisman as Ko-Ko, the Lord High
Executioner; Donald Schurman as the
impressive if slightly screwy Mikado;
Steve Waldron, pompous and padded,
as Pooh-Bah, Lord High Everything Else;
versatile Betty Bates as Pitti-Sing, Ruth
Steele as Peep-Bo; and Lee Hodges and
Barbara Bird sharing the role of Pish-
Tush, usually a male undertaking. In the
first performance, of the operetta, Lucille
Chaput did an impressive job of substi-
tuting as Peep-Bo when Ruth Steele was
in the infirmary.

The unobtrusive Sinfonietta accom-
panied the chorus and principals alike
with its usual skill.

Margarete Ziegengeist was in charge of
the costuming and Kim Strong supervis-
ed the exceptionally well-done make-up.

The second operetta, a special adapta-
tion of Humperdinck's "Hansel and
Gretel" was presented in March with an
all-girl cast. The parts of Hansel and
Gretel were taken by Betty Bates and
Ruth Steele, respectively, and were done
with a finesse which left nothing to be
desired. The Cookie Witch, addicted to
baking little children into cookies, was
portrayed with skill by Wilma Winberg.
Betsy Tiltion took the part of the
children's mother and Lucille Chaput
was a lusty father. Elaine Schultz, Jean
Thomas, and Bea Decatur were fine
Sandmen; and Marguerite Krackhardt,
Lee Hodges, and Ruth Symonds were
Dewmen.

Witches were Patricia Bangs, Delight
Bullock, Esther Coffin; and the Angels
Jean Cummings, Barbara Davis, Mar-
jorie Flint, Elaine Jones, Betty Julian,
Jane Londergan, Pauline Morlock, Laura
Resnick, Connie Rothery, Louise Sharp,
Frances White, Patricia Bangs, Delight
Bullock and Esther Coffin. The Cookie
Children, enacted by the Glee Club,
stayed in the orchestra pit.

The scenery was anything but elab-
orate, being all "flats" and merely sug-
gesting the setting, but the lighting
played an important and effective part.

With a surprisingly few number of
rehearsals, the operetta proved a shining
success. Some of the particularly memor-
able scenes were the enchanting little
dancing scene and the beloved "Evening
Prayer." The Physi-Ed. Department's
"Flit" classes provided the groups of
dancers, who did praiseworthy work.

122

Wednesday evening, October 20th, the
Social Union season opened with a pre-
sentation by Ted Shawn, internationally
known dancer. He opened with a lecture
on the development of the dance, follow-
ing the decline of this plastic art upon the
rise of the Christian church through to its
rebirth in America after the Civil War.
Mr. Shawn then demonstrated his ability
in a series of dances based upon religious
themes and various folk dances.

October 28th, M.S.C. once again bene-
fited by the presence of a talented artist.
Lillian Gish, noted star of stage and
screen, gave an autobiographical lecture
entitled "Odyssey of a Trouper." She
recalled several anecdotes from her acting
career and travels, and answered many
questions from the audience.

The third program, presented on the
evening of November 16th, was a varia-
tion from any previous entertainments, or
any to come, for the artist was the nine-
year-old prodigy, Richard Korbel. How-
ever, knee socks and Eton suit proved no
limitation of pianistic ability, as his rendi-
tions of Scarlatti, Bach, and Chopin
proved.

A noted American sculptor, Randolph
Johnston, lectured in Bowker Auditorium
on December 9th to an enthusiastic audi-
ence. As he discussed the difference be-
tween two and three-dimensional art, he
sketched and modeled a bust to illustrate
his points. Dr. Adrian H. Lindsey, head
of the Department of Agricultural Eco-
nomics, and well-known, especially to the
Wesley Foundation group, was the "vic-
tim." Mr. Johnston is a noted author
and illustrator as well as being an emi-
nent sculptor.

The first Social Union of the new year

originated with the students themselves,
when on February 5th, the Roister
Doisters presented "Ophelia Takes the
Cup," an hilarious satire on campus life.
(See the article on Roister Doisters.) The
play was skillfully bound together by
burlesques of well-known campus places
and personalities, such as the College
Store, the Libe, and Dean Burns. Not
forgotten in the production were the air
students, several of whom generously
donated their services to add to the suc-
cess of the presentation.

The last evening program of the year
was another student-produced entertain-
ment. Opening the Winter Carnival
Weekend, on February 18th the Glee Club
produced a concert entitled "My Coun-
try." (See articles on the Women's Glee
Club, Winter Carnival, and Events of the
Year.) Songs from the Broadway produc-
tion "Oklahoma," were featured — songs
which, oddly enough, returned to New
York when the Glee Club sang them at
the Stage Door Canteen and the Alumni
Meeting on their trip to New York in
April.

Purposing to cultivate greater interest
in the arts, Professor Vondell, chairman
of the Fine Arts Council, started this
year's programs Avigust 15-22, when, in
cooperation with the Amherst Women's
Club and under Doric's general adminis-
tration, an "Amherst Festival" was held
in honor of the late Professor Frank
Waugh. The week's program included
Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being
Earnest," directed by Mr. Varley and
acted by State students; a concert of
voice, flute, and piano by faculty wives
and students; a program of poetry writ-
ten by Amherst people; a square dance;
and a choir concert.

On November 7, a joint concert by
John Delevoryas '46 and Doric Alviani
presented them as baritone and piano
soloist respectively. The second faculty
recital, in the Old Chapel on November 21
offered Esther Strong Clapp, mezzo-
soprano.

On January 4, 1944, "I Have a Son"
was produced by Professor Rand's dra-
matic production class, which designed
and made scenery, and did all — even

Hugh Hodgson

put on its own make-up. Kasha Thayer
directed, and Marjorie Reed was stage
manager. Then Miss Horrigan and Pro-
fessor James Robertson of the faculty led
a panel of constructive criticism. Another
play, "Chimney Corner," was produced
on January 13, with Edna Greenfield as
director and Pauline Bell as stage man-
ager.

On February 20, Elaine Schultz '46,
soloist of the Glee Club concert, and Jean
Thomas '45, distinguished Katisha of
"The Mikado," presented solos and three
duets, accompanied by Doric, at the fifth
annual Student Recital of the Fine Arts
Program.

"Mask-Making as a Hobby" by Pro-
fessor Frank P. Rand, was given on
March 5 at Butterfield. Talking while
molding clay, he gave the general back-
ground of mask-making, while produc-
ing a face from plasticine.

Beginning March 14, the musical or-
ganizations, under the direction of Doric
Alviani, sponsored a four-day music
festival of "American Musicians." The
first recital, a program of American
music, was given by John Duke, pianist,
and Louise Rood, violist. The following
afternoon, Robert McBride, oboe, clari-
net, and English horn player, was ac-
companied by Gregory Tucker. The next
evening, they were joined in a recital
by Hugh Hodgson, also a pianist. At the
last festival program. Parallels and Con-
trasts, Hugh Hodgson demonstrated his
ability at the piano. Each teaches at
Smith, Bennington, or the University of
Georgia.

On April 12, Miss Horrigan's Literary
Interpretation class presented poetry
declamations.

"Oh, to be on campus, now that sum-
mer's there!" sighed many a Statesman
amidst the thump and roar and sputter of
a Victory machine. Meanwhile, to the
scales of the chimes and the harmonized
choruses of the Air Corps, Massachusetts
State marched, ambled, and pedalled to
its seven-thirty classes.

Down the hill the students came, for
Butterfield House was both a college
dining hall and the women's dormitory.
They were a mixed group: four-year stu-
dents accelerating their course, February
freshmen, summer freshmen, and guests
from other colleges. Formerly, fifty to
seventy-five percent of a summer's group
consisted of students from other colleges
and, especially, high school teachers. This
time, guests from Vassar, Simmons,
Syracuse, and A.I.C. were in minority.

So, while cadets were marching in
platoons and Smith girls were loading hay,
preoccupied chemists reveled in the com-
pany of hydrogen sulfide. Though some
eager .scholars argued that one might

U'fi/S/<^'^.f^>\ UjiiiW-^^"- ^'^

easily carry a three-course curriculum for
each of the two six-week periods, the ma-
jority enjoyed the intimacy reached with
only two courses, with two lecture hours
given daily in each.

The days of some of the coeds were
filled by weeding at the college farm,
whence they emerged to shock Doric's
class with dungarees and shirts caked
with dirt. To cool off after honest sweat,
they often dragged their weary limbs up
Butterfield Hill and gave themselves to a
shower from Mr. Dumpsey's hose.

Two hours of tennis after supper
stimulated appetites. The obvious remedy
was ripe tomatoes in faculty victory
gardens. One dark night, as the group was
sneaking along Prof. 's rows (cen-
sored for safety), their arms laden, they
heard the watchman preparing for pur-
suit in his car. In headlong flight, they
rushed for shelter from the headlights
and threw themselves flat under some
convenient bushes — into a bed of poison
ivy. They escaped the watchman

Saturday night, one o'clock permissions
for Amherst cadets — twelve o'clock cur-
few for girls — was a problem to tax Mrs.
Whipple's patience to the utmost. At a
house meeting, she finally announced in
exasperation, "This is too much. Twenty-
three girls came in one door last night
after one, and eight in the other. I know,
because I counted them !"

There were other pleasant distractions:
dances at Butterfield; Mr. Varley's pro-
duction of Oscar Wilde's farce. The Im-
portance of Being Earnest, at the Jones
Library, during the Frank K. Waugh
Festival Week held in memory of Profes-
sor Waugh; a scavenger hunt; successful
U.S.O. dances.

In the spring of 1943, the people on
M.S.C.'s campus gaped, while the rem-
nants of an already depleted male student
body moved out of Lewis and Thatcher
dormitories. Still bewildered, the faculty,
coeds, and administrative body saw
truckload after truckload of army equip-
ment draw up before the dorms on the
hill, khaki-colored supplies dispersed, and
trucks rumbling back where they came.
Sunday evening, February 28, 1943, the
Army Air Corps students moved into the
dorms, and marched down to Draper for
meals and into the hearts of the people
who had been waiting for them.

Coeds flocked to Miss Skinner's office
to procure U.S.O. Junior Hostess cards.
They danced, laughed, talked, and joked
with the cadets, and learned more about
their country than they could ever hope
to in four ordinary college years.

The faculty vaulted into long hours of
concentrated teaching — history, geogra-
phy, government, mathematics, physics,
English — all the subjects required in the
pre-flight course.

The administration did serious planning
in the summer of 1943. The "Abbey"
was no longer a dorm for upperclass
women; it had suffered the same fate as
Lewis and Thatcher. The vacated fra-
ternity houses became upperclass hang-
outs, after being cleaned, repaired, and
painted.

A cadet-coed formal was held on
October 30th. Representatives from wom-
en's organizations on campus cooperated
with cadet representatives to make the
formal dance a great success. The cadets'
esteem of M.S.C. coeds was shown when
they chose Elaine Schultz '46 queen of
their ball. The students of M.S.C. then

sponsored a Winter Carnival weekend,
mostly for cadets. An "open house"
program was proposed by Panhellenic
whereby cadets were entertained in
sorority and "frarority" houses.

Cadets entertaining M.S.C.'s campus?
Sure, by their antics in marching from
class to class. It was not unusual to see
them split ranks, surround a coed and
escort her to class, much to her individual
embarrassment and to the great delight
of her friends. The hilariousness of
"frosh" hazing was heightened by the
presence of the 58th, who cooperated
fully in making them feel like complete
"duds."

The memory of the "singing 58th"
will never fade from M.S.C.'s memory.
Here could be heard strains of "Six-
pence," there could be heard "God Bless
America," far away "She's Just a Per-
sonal Friend of Mine," and nearby "Oh,
My Feet Hurt, Ugh!" All were combined
into a glorious medley, with a rhythmic
ba.ss of "hut, hoo, hee, hoe."

One of the few State traditions not too
affected by the war, Winter Carnival
was once more the highhghted weekend
of the winter season. Although every
devoted Statesman during the two weeks
before Carnival prayed at least once daily
for snow, only a few patches of white
could be seen scattered on the brown
stubble of the fields.

A month before the event, plans were
laid by the committee, Joe Kunces, Jim
Coffey, Lucille Chaput, Kay Dellea,
Barbara Bird, Art Teot, Abe Beisman
and Doris Roberts. Helen Beaumont and
Ruth Ewing designed attractive posters
advertising the Ball.

Because of lack of snow, there were no
cross country ski races Friday afternoon.
In the evening amusicale,MyCo«w<r!/,was
presented by the Women's Glee Club. The
lack of male voices was hardly noticed
as the girls put their best into such songs
as "This is My Country" and "Oh!
AVhat a Beautiful Morning," to make
the affair the musical hit of the year.
Special numbers were sung by the Sta-
tettes, the Bay Statettes, and a new octet,
called the Statesmenettes. Ruth Steele,
Betty Bates, and Jim Coffey added to the
success of the production by adding their
humor. Who could forget that handsome
figure in a nightshirt?

Saturday morning there was no change
in the usual routine of classes. At two
o'clock, the braver and more hardy souls
among the ski club obtained permission
from Captain Congleton to risk their
necks on the 13/2 inches of snow covering
the hill behind Thatcher. Slaloms and
obstacle races were run by both men and
women, with no bones broken.

At eight o'clock the Music Maestros
from Springfield began a four-hour session
of .swing as couples were deposited at the
Drill Hall by the wagon load. The hall

was again decorated with The Storm of
Colors.

At 10:30, the Queen of the Carnival,
lovely Elaine Schultz, and the members
of her court were announced by the
judges, Mrs. Whipple and Doctors Ritch-
ie, Fraker, Cary, and Helming. The eight
girls chosen for the court were Helen
Beaumont, Ruth Steele, Roberta Miehlke,
Frances White, Ruth Sperry, Kay Dellea,
Mary A'achon and Eleanor Barber.

Another high point of the dance was
Dean Burns' demon.stration of his well-
known scarf dance, followed by an oration
on the merits of M.S.C.'s Winter Carnival-

A great many ex-Statesmen returned in
uniform for the one big formal of the year.
It was these familiar faces that increased
the spirit of tradition permeating the
weekend, and left the feeling that in
spite of the war, M.S.C. was still M.S.C.

Frosh hazing — that deHghtful week in
autumn when new girls have an oppor-
tunity to work off excess energy at the
leisure and discretion of the sophomores.
The thought of hazing struck terror into
the lasses of '47 from that first Sunday
evening when the regulations of the com-
ing chaos were delivered to them.

The blossoming of two-hundred snowy
berets on that last Wednesday in Sep-
tember marked open season on freshman
girls. At any time during the following
week a stranger to the campus would
have wondered at their mental state.
Would anyone in her right mind wear a
raincoat and boots on a sunny day and,
what's more, carry an open umbrella
with brightly colored socks hanging from
the spokes? Would a normal person
plaster makeup on half the face only, or
wear a red skirt with an orange sweater?
However, what the sophs ordained, the
frosh fulfilled.

Of all the planned enterprises, none
was anticipated with so much glee as
were the two sunrise serenades. Thursday
morning about five-thirty, the girls were
awakened by the gentle touch of the
solicitous sophomores, Carolyn Whit-

more, Jean Gould, Holly James, Martha
Harrington, and Ruth Kitson, who herded
them out into the inky blackness. After
rollcall was taken, the girls were urged to
trot around to the sorority houses where
they demonstrated their vocal ability,
much to the li-steners' delight. Glad to see
someone else out at that early hour the
air students, too, appreciated this diver-
sion.

On the following Saturday, this routine
was repeated, but after rollcall was taken,
the jaunt was called off, due to hesitancy
on the sophs' part to accompany the eager
freshmen in the pouring rain. Rumor has
it that this turn of events put the damper
on a carefully planned sit-down strike!

Biggest event of the week was the Pond
Party. Due to the moist condition of the
air, the request that housecoats be worn
was revoked in favor of dungarees and
shirts. Fishpoles, varying from curtain
rods to yardsticks, were the order of the
day; and business-minded girls made a
profit by providing the specified number
of live worms for a small fee. In the time
allotted each girl for trying her luck, four
fish were hooked. Entertainment at the
party was provided by any frosh who had
erred during the week. Excitement ran
high. In fact, one member of the hazing
committee came rather near raising the
water level of the college pond!

In the next three weeks, hopping
numerals, singing "Alma Mater" in the
C-Store, and carrying books of more
privileged sophs, became everyday oc-
currences, until berets were doffed, and
the freshman girls became undergrad-
uates.

Freshman boys wore their usual ma-
roon Eton caps, serenaded coeds at sun-
rise, and were duly dunked in the Pond by
the Senate for any misdemeanors.

The Commencement program this year
emphasized the greatly reduced size of the
student body. Arrangements were made
to hold the soph-senior dance, by tradi-
tion a memorable part of the graduation
weekend, three weeks before commence-
ment while all four classes were still on
campus. Held semi-formally, in accord-
ance with the vanity of the ladies and the
war-time facilities of the men, the dance
was a great success, perhaps especially
because neither of the classes sponsoring
it had dared hope for its realization.

The program, as arranged by the Com-
mencement Committee, consisting of
Douglas Hosmer, Robert Stewart, Rob-
ert Monroe, Irving Nichols, Marion
Whitcomb, Jean Burgess, Ruth Symonds,
and Lee Filios, began with the Senior
Convocation, on May 4. Following the
Processional, President Baker delivered a
short address. Edward Putala gave the
class oration. Then Douglas Hosmer,
president of the Class of 1944, presented
the class gift, a sum of money to be added
to the gift of the Class of 1943 for the

purchase of a memorial plaque to the
heroes of this war. Though Adelphia was
not functioning this year, Isogon, the
women's senior honor society, proceeded
with its customary tapping. A short fare-
well address by Dean Machmer, the sing-
ing of the Alma Mater, and a Recessional
concluded the ceremony.

When all but the seniors had left
Stockbridge Hall and were strolling
along the walks, students turned at the
sound of song. The seniors had taken
possession of the Stockbridge steps, in the
traditional manner, and were singing the
Alma Mater.

^Likewise set ahead to the week of the
Senior Convocation was the Flint Ora-
torical Contest, under the direction of
Mr. Clyde Dow. Among this year's con-
testants were James Coffey '45, Barbara
Bemis '44, Elizabeth Mentzer '45, and
Wallace Hibbard '44.

Friday night was held the senior class
party, combined with the alumni recep-
tion, renewing the traditional acceptance
of the seniors into the ranks of the alumni.

On Saturday, May 20, the Alimmi
Meeting was held, at which William V.
Hayden '13 was re-elected president of
the Alumni Association. Because of
transportation difficulties and other war
impediments, class reunions were this
year restricted to the presence on campus
of members of the Classes of 1894 and
1899. Of the former, celebrating their
fiftieth reunion, 11 members of the 17
now living were present. It was an-
nounced that the alumni are again, this
year, as in the past two or three years,
using the alumni fund set up by classes to
l)uy war bonds instead of using it for
the needs of the Alumni Association.

After the meeting of the Board of
Trustees at 11 o'clock, followed the an-
nual dinner given by President Baker.
Meanwhile, the senior class had assembled
in front of the Memorial Building to pro-
ceed, under the leadership of the two
marshals, in smaller groups than usual,
to Bowker Auditorium for Class Day
exercises. Features of the program were
the customary Hatchet oration, delivered
by Bob Stewart, the Pipe oration by Ray
Hollis, the Campus by Irving Nichols,
the Class by Norman Bornstein, the Ivy
by Lee Filios. The Class Ode was written
and presented by Pauline Bell.

On Saturday evening, at seven o'clock,
took place the President's Reception,
held at the President's house rather than
in the rhododendron garden, where Am-
herst weather had too often played for the
seniors its typically unpredictable finale.

The eventful day was culminated with
the presentation, by the Roister Doisters,
of Love's Labour's Lost, the first Shake-

spearean play to be presented for several
years by the society. The stage setting
was stylized, stimulative to the imagina-
tion of the audience, and somewhat sug-
gestive of the scenery employed in
Shakespeare's own day.

That night, too, though no official
class reunions were scheduled, sorority
houses were open to their alumnae, and
bull sessions were numerous and long.

At 10 o'clock on Sunday morning. May
21, 1944, Commencement exercises were
held in Bowker Auditorium. Dr. Julius
Warren, State Commissioner of Educa-
tion, delivered the commencement ad-
dress, following the Invocation by Rabbi
Arthur Hertzberg. Because of crowded
schedules, the customary baccalaureate
was this year omitted. Various prizes
were announced, and the degrees were
conferred in the ceremony that released
for their various jobs another group of
men and women who, three days before,
had been steeped in examinations.

The word, "Alumni," as used by the
Alumni Office at the College, is commonly
understood to include both men and
women — and in the lists of Alumni in
Uniform, as maintained by the office,
there appear the names of a good many
women. Alumnae of Massachusetts State
are serving in the WAC, WAVES,
SPARS, Marine Corps Reserve, Army
Nurse Corps, Navy Nurse Corps, the
American Red Cross.

Sergeant Catherine M. Birnie, '37,
WAC, summed up, perhaps, the feeling
of Alumnae in Uniform when she recently
wrote to the Alumni Office, "As a mem-
ber of the WAC, I am glad to be doing a
part in our campaign for victory and an
enduring peace." Then she added, "I
hope to go overseas soon."

Sergeant Eunice M. Johnson, '33,
WAC, is laboratory technician at the
medical replacement training center at
Camp Grant, Illinois. She is assigned to
the laboratory of the Station Hospital

which, she wrote, is "an excellent one."

Lieutenant Elizabeth M. Clapp, '39,
WAC, is dietitian at the Station Hospital
at Camp Davis in North Carolina.

Ensign Geraldine I. Bradley, '39, NNC,
has served at the Chelsea, Mass., Naval
Hospital and at the St. Albans Naval
Hospital, Long Island. Now she is as-
signed to the Naval Operating Base at
Norfolk and recently wrote, "I'm all
enthusiasm over my new duty."

Lieutenant (2nd) Nancy E. Luce, '40,
WAC, now overseas, wrote to the Alumni
Office last fall about some phases of her
army training. Her experiences, no doubt,
are typical. Nancy wrote, in part, as
follows :

"Training in officer's school is all that
you hear about it. There is nothing easy
to it. Everything you do is 'on the double.'
The only answers you dare to make are
'yes ma'am', 'no ma'am', or 'no excuse
ma'am.' The rest of the time you say
absolutely nothing and rush from close-

order drill to classes in physical training,
company administration, military sanita-
tion, military customs and courtesy.
Board and Court Procedures, Map read-
ing (evidently I still can't understand a
back azimuth), mess management, supply
(which is one grand headache); and you
find your notes look something like this
— TlA equals TBA minus UPO plus
CO divided by PPO subtracted from MR
certified by USO and subdivided by SOS.

"It certainly doesn't make a great deal
of sense to you, I know — and it didn't to
me, either, for quite a while.

"The entire training is pretty inten-
sive, and when you near the time for
commission, you wonder if you shouldn't
be appearing before 'the section 8 board'
(ask any army man what I mean by this).

"You know — as time goes on you find
that this world gets smaller, and here is a
good example of what I mean.

"When I was traveling east on my
leave from Iowa, I was talking to a

soldier who was returning from Guadal-
canal. This was his first time in the States
for 18 months. I recalled that the Alumni
Bulleiin had mentioned that Captain
Willard O. Foster, Jr., '40 and Captain
George T. Pitts, Jr., '40 were somewhere
in Guadalcanal. I thought that by some
queer twist of circumstances this soldier
might have known these clas.smates of
mine. He certainly did, and corrected me
on the fact that they now had captain
ratings and were not 1st Lieutenants as
I had thought. (As the 1944 Index goes
to press, both men are Majors.)

"It seems to me that in reading the
Alumni Bidletin, and seeing other reports,
the R.O.T.C. unit at the College has
turned out some of the best trained men
the Army can boast. Massachusetts
State College should be proud of her

Wednesday, September 22nd, Presi-
dent Baker took his familiar stance on
the platform of Bowker Auditorium to
welcome back what was left of the three
predominently female upper classes. Also
on the welcoming committee were the
freshmen, who after three days in resi-
dence, already owned at least half the
campus. However, during the next two
weeks, through practice of the old institu-
tion of hazing, the sophomores corrected
any false impressions the frosh might
have acquired.

At the first convocation in October,
Agnes Smedley gave an interesting lec-
ture on China and its part in the war.
The following week, convo was turned
over to the Community Chest who began
a campus-wide drive to collect $1500.
Throughout the next few weeks, a
thermometer in front of South College
kept everyone up to date on the progress
made in reaching the goal.

The annual series of Social Unions be-
gan on October 20th, when Ted Shawn
gave a lecture followed by an exhibition
of Denishawn dancing. On the 28th,
Lillian Gish held her audience spellbound
with tales of her life on the stage and

screen. By this time those who had not
wrenched their backs trying to imitate
Shawn, were contemplating a glorious
future on the stage.

Then came Hallowe'en — "What!
Dean's Saturday so soon!" Perhaps to
compensate for those who were posted,
and to celebrate for those who were not,
the air students sponsored a formal dance
in the Drill Hall. Elaine Schultz upheld
the M.S.C. coed's claim to beauty by
being crowned Queen of the Ball and
Sweetheart of the 58th College Training
Detachment.

The following weekend the cadets took
a back seat when the junior R.O.T.C. men
returned from Fort Riley to State as part
of the A.S.T.P. More than one coed
pranced around in a state of blissful
enchantment because "her man" had
come back. Even those who had a less
personal interest were more than glad to
welcome the familiar faces back from the
"Hole" in Kansas — otherwise known as
Fort Riley.

This same Sunday, the coeds opened
the fall hunting season with the first
Round Robin Tea of the year. Rushing
was concentrated into two weeks during
which time four teas. Closed Date, and
pledging were held.

The noise on campus had hardly
abated to a dull roar that weekend of
November 6th and 7th, when on Monday,
the occupants of six fraternity houses
awoke to find that they had been robbed
of jewelry, money, and even bobby pins!
For a few days Fraternity Row was over-
run with police who measured muddy
foottracks, and lifted elusive fingerprints.
In spite of many attempts to track down
the perpetrator(s) of this crime, it has
remained State's unsolved mystery —
page Ellery Queen.

The next week, too, was hectic. At
Social Union on the 16th, Richard Korbel,
nine-year-old pianist, held his audience
open-mouthed as he whizzed through a
program of diflBcult classical pieces.
During this week Amherst's first snowfall
was heralded with much glee by Southern
cadets who went through the same antics
Northern boys had performed in their
distant childhood. Friday night was
Closed Date for the six sororities who on
Saturday shared 109 pledges.

Thanksgiving vacation, November 21-
27th, was a welcome rest. As relaxation
from holiday effects, nearly everyone
attended the Mikado, given December
4th, successful despite lack of males.

Friday, December 11th, Butterfield,
Chi Omega and Tau Epsilon Phi House
held the first vie parties of the semester,
carrying out a favorable decision of the
Student Life Committee as to the advis-
ability of keeping on with the old tradi-
tion during wartime. At about this same
time, the much discussed petition was
sent to the governor. Sunday, State once
more parted with the Mill Majors, who
left this time for Fort Benning's O.C.S. —
future infantry officers.

Christmas vacation, from the 17th to
the 28th, was terminated before New
Year's, regardless of the petition. To cele-
brate the big night, students and air
students danced and bowled in the Drill
Hall and Memorial Building until one.

January 6th, students were given the
rare privilege of viewing an Air Corps
hero in person when Major George Spel-
man of the Class of '39 was awarded his
B.S. degree at convo. An equal attraction
was Dr. Osbert Warmingham, who spoke
on "The Art of Successful Living."

From the 17th to the 22nd, Statesmen
once more took on that well known air of
dejection and sleeplessness caused by
semester finals. A brief break of four days
(just long enough to get home and back
again) was followed by mid-winter grad-

uation on the 27th. Thirty-eight seniors
were speeded on their way into a world
at war by the principal speaker. Rear
Admiral Wat T. Cluverius.

With February came the sad news that
the "beavers," those singing cadets,
would be at M.S.C. no more after the
1st of May.

February 5th, at another Social Union,
the Roister Doisters produced a satire on
campus life, called Ophelia Takes the Cup.
Perhaps the brand of humor produced
had something to do with the fact that
when, on February 11th, the Mobile
Blood Donor Unit arrived at State, sever-
al people were found to be anemic.

For two weeks after the 18th and 19th,
there was no violent excitement on
campus. Carnival Weekend seemed to
have done a thorough job of removing all
surplus energy.

On March 4th and 5th, Alpha Lambda
Mu took the long-waited for step by
joining a national sorority. Pi Beta Phi.
It was also an open secret that the Beta
Delta girls were accepting the aegis of
Sigma Kappa later in the spring.

As this year's Index goes to press, the
history of the year is incomplete; but
notwithstanding the continued decrease
in numbers of the masculine element,
there is still a prospect of good times yet
to come. M.S.C. coeds can hope.
