FOREWORD

We are a trifle awed when we think of the responsibilities automatically
placed upon us when we undertook the editing of this book, for we realize
that there are a number of obligations which we have to fulfill. We present
this book with the fervent hope that none of these obligations have been
neglected.

It would be deviating a trifle from the truth to say that our task has
always been a pleasure. The editing of a school annual can be an arduous
task at times. But if we could be sure that this, the 1937 SHORTHORN,
would be worthy of its predecessors, its class and its school, we could rest
with the feeling that our work had not been in vain. So, with these thoughts
in mind, we present to you, in behalf of the class of 1937, this volume of
the SHORTHORN.

The Editors.

VICTOR ARTHUR RICE,

ft SCHOLAR AND A TRUE FRIEND,

THE CLASS OF 1937

RESPECTFULLY DEDICATES THIS BOOK.

PROFESSOR VICTOR ARTHUR RICE

As a student at North Carolina State College from which he graduated
in 1917, he gained prominence as a scholar, leader, athlete.

He was Swine Specialist for the state of Massachusetts from 1917 to 1913,
after which he was appointed Assistant Professor of Animal Husbandry at
our college. From this position he advanced to Head of the Department of
Animal Husbandry and Head of the Division of Agriculture.

He is the author of the textbook Breeding and Improvement of Farm
Animals, a standard work which is used in about 35 colleges and universities.
He is in great demand as a public speaker, and as a hobby, he plays golf
much too well.

Professor Rice married Laura Bussels of Fernandino, Florida, in August
1921. They have two very charming daughters, Zipporah, 15 years old,
and Mary Virginia, 13.

Mrs. Rice in her own right is a woman of accomplishments. She has
an enviable reputation as an actress. You have the rare opportunity of
seeing her portray the character Darlin' in your class play Wappin' Wharf.
Her friends recognize her in real life as a darling: a most charming and
gracious one.

DEDICATION

To Professor Victor Arthur Rice

The compliment which you pay to Professor Victor A. Rice is well de-
served. Undoubtedly, however, this dedication to him of the written record
of your college years has deeper significance. You are setting up a person-
ality to serve as an ideal. You might well strive to imitate him in those
qualities which he possesses so abundantly:

PERSISTENCE. He sticks everlastingly to the task until it is mastered.
Obstacles do not frustrate, he accepts their challenge and conquers them.

INTELLIGENCE. He is efficient in the use of mental faculties, and by his
example inspires other to do the same. This is the test of a great teacher.

PROMPTNESS. He is a man of immediate action. Whatever is to be
done is accomplished without procrastination.

FORCEFULNESS. He is a super dynamic personality, — a whirlwind
lecturer whose power overcomes classroom force of gravity.

HELPFULNESS. He is ever ready to give advice and instruction in order
to round out a more efficient, acceptable human being.

INSPIRATION. He has the faculty to make one do his best, to rise above
the commonplace, to reach those rare heights of excellence to which we all
aspire, but so seldom attain.

IMAGINATION. He has the insight of the artist and the philosopher.
He sees deeply, and eloquently delineates his visions for others to see.

COURAGE. He is not afraid to face facts, to assume responsibility, to
make mistakes, to do his duty.

This is the man you honor, — one worthy of emulation.

The breeder of domestic animals —
an artist working with flesh and blood.

William R. Burnham

Windsor, Vermont 1917

Big Bill Burnham, hailing from the Green Mountain
State, has used a most unique method of pulling down
good grades — spending many class hours in peaceful
slumber. In spite of this Bill has been wide awake on
his job as president of K. K. According to Bill, Vermont
has SWEET soil, SWEET maple sugar, and some very
nice' SWEET-hearts.

Gordon F. Cahill

Springfield 1917

K. K.'s chief night watchman and man about town
deserves a place in our hall of fame for his unsur-
passed knowledge of the fairer sex. June will see
Grandy's losing one of the senior members of their
selected clientele — and the school one of the its most
liked students.

Arthur W. Ecklund

Pittsfield 1917

Swede is one of our silent, hardworking pals. This
tall Nordic coming from the Berkshires has carved for
himself an enviable niche in the memories of his class-
mates because of a pronounced liking for Ayrshire
Cattle, Connecticut Hill-billies, and Swedish women.

Edwin K. Fife

West Springfield 1917

Although Ed has been with us for only one year he
has made himself many good friends. Active in extra-
curricula activities, successful scholastically, and lucky
in "Fords", Ed also has proved himself a diplomat off
the campus. Whenever you see his light blue hat or
his bright red hair, you can be sure of a smile just
below.

Elwyn M. Fowles

Southampton 1915

Winn has the makings of a good Animal Husband-
man, based on his success here at school and his
many years of active 4-H Club work. He is to be
admired for his achievements here accomplished vifith
the hindrance of everyday chores at home. He is the
most promising farmer in the group, as evidenced by
his election to Master in the Grange.

Kolony Klub, Basketball, 1, 2; Animal Husbandry
Club, 1, 2.

Douglas B. Graves

Ashfield 1917

In Mrs. Graves' son, Douglas, we have one of our
strong, silent men. During his two years at Stockbridge
he has made a marked success of studies and ath-
letics. If Dame Rumor has it straight, Westfield, New
Jersey, is going to lose one of its fair daughters to
Massachusetts.

Welland S. Horn

Brandon, Vermont ^^^^

Coming from the hills of Vermont with a strong
liking for "Dodies" (Aberdeen Angus cattle to you)
Farmer Horn has been most quiet in the accomplishment
of his daily tasks here. Among the many mysteries
surrounding him is the outstanding one concerning the
Amherst Tea Room. What? Why? Wherefore?
Animal Husbandry Club, 1, 2.

Arthur W. Hoyt

Merrimac 1915

Little can be said of the freshman, Arthur Hoyt.
However, he chose to live at the K. K. during his
senior year and shortly after school opened last fall,
he made his historical debut into social life — from
which he hasn't quite recovered yet. Nevertheless, it
has never interfered with his accomplishments here
and at home.
Kolony Klub, Animal Husbandry Club, 1, 2; Baseball, 2.

Alvin R. Kellogg, Jr.

Feeding Hills 1917

Tall, dark and handsome — with all the accessories
and a winning way — it is little wonder that they say
the girls of Feeding Hills are thrilled every time Al
comes home. His ever present smile and good fellow-
ship will always be remembered by his classmates.
Cross Country, 2; Animal Husbandry Club, 1, 2.

Roger P. Levreault

South Hadley Falls 1918

This commuting Frenchman is a jolly lad. A very,
very romantic sort of a chap, he always finds it hard
to suppress his emotions. Being a second Barney Old-
field, he has developed a very close acquaintanceship
with Tom Moran — the gendarme of our campus.
Alpha Tau Gamma; Football, 1.

William V. McCormack

Arlington 1915

Bill is Stockbridge's gentleman farmer. Although he
comes from New York's social life and makes regular
weekend trips to Boston, he has made a very enviable
record in our school. Here's hoping that Fox Hill Farm
will prove to be a happy place for a life's honeymoon,
and that he will be as successful there as he was here.
SHORTHORN, Statistical Editor, 2; Animal Husbandry
Club, 1, 2.

John A. McCoy

Belmont 1914

Coming from Belmont (at least once a week) John
has been most influential in making our class periods
interesting and amusing. FHs commanding way is ad-
mired by all and will bring him out on top when the
chips are counted. We'll be hearing a lot about John
in the future.

Animal Husbandry Club, 1, 2.

Ronald A. Nelson

Bernardston 1914

Cold New England winters will never be an obstacle
to rugged Ronnie. Seen, but not heard, this local lad
has done well for himself, and his future looks very
bright. A great man with the horses, he is certain to
plow a straight and admirable furrow in the field of
life.

Animal Husbandry Club, 1, 2.

W. Nelson Newell

Kaysville, Kentucky. 1916

Cur Kentucky Colonel came up to us from the blue
grass region with a practiced and appreciative eye for
fine livestock, good crops, and beautiful women. A
loyal son of his native and distant state, Bluegrass'
career has been marked with those things which go to
make successful farmers and breeders.

urer, 2; Sociology Club, 2; Baseball, 2.

James P. Powers

Green"wood 1914

Spending his Freshman year with the class of '36,
Jim has been with us but a few months. During that
time he has been a constant source of amusement, good
fellowship, and worthwhile advice. He is an ardent
student, and as a result of his efforts is an authority
on Animal Husbandry and co-eds.

Kolony Klub; Animal Husbandry Club, 1, 2.

Malcolm Riddle

Cambridge 1917

Our best Spanish athlete and man about town, Mac
has created for himself an unparalleled record. He's
handy with horses and women and is enthusiastic
about cooperatives. Whether he combines these abili-
ties and enthusiasms or not, he is sure to overcome
any obstacles he may encounter.

Cheer Leader, 1, 2; Glee Club, 2; Animal Husbandry
Club, 2.

Richard N. Buggies

Hingham 1917

A genuine sportsman, an accomplished wrestler, and
a successful scholar — that's Dick. Probably the biggest
"little man" on the campus, Dick has won a host of
friends with his happy smile and pleasant ways. We're
wondering why he chose to live up in the Sorority
Country this year. Has Hingham no attractions?

Wrestling, 1, 2; Sociology Club, 2; Animal Husbandry
Club, 2.

Robert V. Shattuck

Pepperell 1916

An easy-going chap. Bob was a staunch supporter
of the "early to bed, early to rise" theory. He was
always punctual, and his good habits show their effect
in his scholastic success. If we are any judges of
human nature, it's our opinion that Bob is going to be
a power in the agricultural field some day.

Harrison E. Smith, Jr.

Lexington 1912

We could always count on Smitty to say the right
thing at the wrong time, and make our class periods
more enjoyable. The oldest, most ambitious fellow in
the group, coupled with being a veteran of the show
circuit with world record cows — Smitty is bound to go
to the top if experience and character are necessary
for success.

Animal Husbandry Club, 1, 2.

Robert L. Smith

Newburyport 1918

October, 1935, saw a shy, blond lad from Newbury-
port enroll at S. S. A. to study cows. June, 1937, will
see a changed personality — one who knows his cows,
and, no longer shy, also his women. Always full of
fun and willing to try another blind date, he has never
neglected his work, as his record shows.

David N. Stiles

Southbury, Connecticut 1915

The "Senator" from the Nutmeg State came north to
learn how to farm. He has asked more questions,
eaten more ice cream, and walked farther than anyone
else on campus. It is said that when he retires he
intends to re-write the dictionary.

Oliver H. TuUer

West Simsbury, Connecticut 1916

From the rolling hills of Connecticut to the level
plains of Massachusetts in a quiet and unassuming
way came Ollie to make many friends at S. S. A.
Back with his cows and chickens, Ollie will achieve
success if his determined nature and good fellowship
continue to be a part of him.
Animal Husbandry Club, 2.

Arihur L. Whitcomb, Jr.

Charlton 1916

Although small in stature. Art more than made up
for it with his over-grown good-naturedness. His ever-
present smile, his unceasing search into the mysteries
of wine, women, and song, and his clever handling of
the faculty has made him a never-to-be forgotten mem-
ber of our class.

Boxing, 1; Baseball, 2.

Carleton H. Whittaker

Danvers 1917

Besides his scholastic endeavors, Whit has spent a
large portion of his time promoting A. T. G., tractors,
and Danvers. His overflowing enthusiasm and sense
of humor are bound to carry him far. Already experi-
enced in his field, Whit will always be remembered for
his authoritative discussions with the profs.

DAIRY MflNUFflCTURES

Life begins with milk —

the fountain of eternal youth.

Harry R. Acker

Hartford, Connecticut 1918

A steady, stolid, dependable and truly likeable chap,

Harry will take over the reins of his Highland Dairy

with a firm hand. With the little woman to guide him

a successful future is inevitable.

Arne John Aho

Maynard 1917

Diminutive in stature. Shorty, the hard-boiled editor,
possesses a mighty brain. His retentive memory and
his knack for marshalling facts has made him one of
the most brilliant students in Stockbridge. His out-
standing ambition is to become the manager of a Co-
operative.

Alex J. Amenda

Amherst 1917

Quiet, but well liked, Alex, a home town boy, hasn't
given us much opportunity to get acquainted. He is
seldom seen at social functions on campus, but we
understand that he is quite a night owl elsewhere. We
recognize brawn coupled with dogged perseverance.
Dairy Club, 2.

Joseph J. Bauks

Marlboro 1915

Possessor of a melodious voice, and "willing to use it,
Joe was a mainstay on the football squad. Joe has
tried, to no avail, to set a good example for the rest of
the class during the past two years. Even though he
intends to make singing his life's work, we think he
would make a better dairyman.

Irene Boguslawski

Amherst 1918

Entering her Freshman year with the reputation of a
hardened man-hater, Buggy found herself the only girl
in a class of twenty-four fellows. She handled them in
a splendid manner, although we think the "rep" was
lost in the process. Keep up the good work, Irene.

Frederic D. Callahan

Hadley 1916

Fred drives in every day from Hadley, bringing a
cheery hello for everyone, together with a boisterous

sense of humor. He is a stellar athlete, starring in

basketball and baseball. All in all, Fred was a big
addition to the Dairy class.

Basketball, 1, 2; Dairy Club, 2.

Harry I. Cunningham, Jr.

Framingham 1917

Huge of stature and caustic of tongue — that's our
class clown who kept us jumping at a furious pace.
Cunny, sometimes known as Prime, kidded anyone and
everyone mercilessly. He is, however, a likeable chap
and we are glad to claim him as one of us.
Football, 1, 2; Hockey, 1; Dairy Club, 2.

Armando Emanuele

Revere 1916

Independent and strong-willed, with original ideas,
Armando is an industrious student. During his stay
with us he seemed to be very unwilling to talk about
himself. A broad-shouldered bulwark on the football
squad, he is another letterman from the dairy class.
Football, 1, 2; Hockey, 2; Dairy Club, 2.

Alpheus O. Fulton

Waltham 1916

All seriousness in everything, Al, who has chosen
lab work as the object of his endeavours, really should
have been a minister. Although his name isn't Pete,
he surely goes to town on the piccolo. We award Al
with the title of all-class grind, but still he finds time for
much cheerful banter.

Hockey, 2; Sociology Club, Secretary, 2; Band, 1, 2;

Joseph R. Goldrick

Jamaica Plain 1916

Smart, but som.ewhat self-conscious, Joe surprised us
and himself at times with his differences of opinions
with certain profs. But for all his modesty, he was a
determined competitor for the hockey squad, and that
same determination is applied to his studies and work.

Elmer E. Hair

Worcester 1916

At first glance one would think Emmie only a quiet,
well-mannered lad, but underneath he would find a
perservering spirit v^hich wins him immediate recog-
nition on the athletic field and in the classroom. A
veteran dairyman, Emmie has been showing the boys
how it's done for the past two years, and will continue
that same practice in the future.

Samuel R. Lowery

Arlington 1915

Arlington's playboy and our fair-haired class bluffer,
Sam could model for Esquire. He was a prominent
figure on the track and the rink, and we're told that he
is a second Fred Astaire on the dance floor. We'll
remember Sam as a true friend, always ready with a
new gag.

Donald N. Mercer

Palmer 1916

Wavy-haired, well dressed, good-looking, keen, with
a pleasant personality — this describes to perfection
Don, the musician and socialite. With several queer,
but still contemplative ideas about the origin of life on
this planet, he has impressed us with his inquiring
mind.

Anthony R- Merino

Waltham 1916

Tony, the boy from Waltham, proceeds to mow down
all opposition on the athletic field with the same pre-
cision as others mow it down scholastically. A dark,
handsome lad, Tony has a secret yearning to raise a
moustache, but he hasn't quite the courage to stand
the loudly spoken opinions of his classmates.
Football, 1, 2; Hockey, 1, 2; Dairy Club, 2.

William E. Prindle

Springfield 1914

Short, diplomatic, and entirely original. Bill, a drum-
mer-boy by choice, seems to find plenty to do at all
times. He cuts a mean figure on the ice and ■we are
told he doesn't do too badly on the dance floor. He
will be remembered as a loyal friend, always ready
"with a helping hand.

Hockey, 1, 2; Student Council, 1; Baseball, 2; Dairy

mittees.

Robert L. Rosenfield

Dorchester 1918

Tall, slow to move, but quick to think, Rosey has
been the buffer for all practical and impractical jokes,
but he always comes up smiling. We have all ad-
mired his artistic nature, and his ability to converse
intelligently with the professors. Good luck, Rosey, and
don't cut yourself with that razor.

SHORTHORN, Assistant Editor, 2; Dairy Club, 1, 2;

Manton P. Spear

"Wakefield 1916

Known as Tex because of his pronounced drawl, this
lad with his very inquisitive nature, hopes to become
a world traveler. Tex is interested in skiing and almost
anything that provides excitement. With many years
of practical experience in the dairy field, we feel sure
that he will make a name for himself in this line.

Dairy Club, 1, 2; Outing Club, 2; Sociology Club,

Benjamin J. Swatson

Amherst 1913

A calm, unruffled friend, always on time and never
caught unprepared, Bennie comes to us from Ohio State
College. Under his quiet self-containment, he is ever
alert and on his toes. With his limitless ambition, it
is written in the stars that he will go far in his chosen
field of work.

Cross Country, 2; Dairy Club, 2; Sociology Club, 2.

Walter C. Wanczyk

Hadley 1917

A local flash on the basketball court, Walt is well
known for his athletic ability here in the Connecticut
Valley. He is quiet in class, but we hear that he is
capable of creating quite a rumpus in the locker room
with the other commuters. With all his experience at
Flint Lab, he should become an expert ice cream
manufacturer.

DAIRY CLUB

The Dairy Club has been very active this season and has brought in
many prominent men in the dairy field to discuss timely problems concerning
the industry. Attendance has been large at these meetings, as the club is
composed of both State and Stockbridge students. The Stockbridge freshmen,
however, were conspicuous by their absence.

A few of the speakers and their topics were as follows:
W. H. Bronson — Dairying in Europe.
C. Foskett — Experiences in Retailing Milk.
Mr. White — Qualities Necessary for Advancement.
Dr. Keenan — Good Housekeeping and Sanitation in the Dairy Plant.
A. W. Smith — Personal Experiences in the Dairy Industry.

FLORICULTURE

Flowers — they toil not, neither do they spin —
yet Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed
like one of these.

**^^^^

Irving S. Anthony

New Bedford 1916

Self-confident, but with a likeable personality, pro-
moter Tony missed his real calling — he should be selling
bonds to old maids. With a fine memory for facts that
many do not possess, Tony has made an excellent
record here at Stockbridge. He was also a social suc-
cess as a partner in the Morrice-Anthony combination.

Football, 1; Horticultural Show, 1, 2.

John M. Eastman

Gill 1918

Keen, always ready with a good story, John has
made an enviable scholastic record. He has formed
with Olson a companionship on campus that rivals the
Anthony-Morrice combine. John travels to and from
Greenfield every day and so we saw very little of him
outside of class. With all the gadgets on his car, he
should enjoy commuting.

Bernard J. Jackimczyk

Florence 1915

A fine athlete, Jake lacked only size to make him-
self a serious threat on the football field. He is modest
and carefree, but with a natural talent for arranging
flowers that should make him a very good florist.
His pleasant disposition has kept him out of many in-
volved discussions on floriculture and will certainly
help him in the business world.

Brockton 1913

With a helping word where-ever needed and with
warm friendliness toward everyone. Jack has become
a familiar figure on campus. His Irish diplomacy and
his unbounded confidence coupled with his seriousness
and his willingness to learn will carry him ahead in
the world. Do you know anyone in Maynard, Jack?

Peler W. Minkus

Westfield 1915

Easy-going, affable but determined, ex-govemment
man Pete was the gay Lothario with the Amherst
beauties. We think he must be cursed with a con-
science because he at least worried about the studying
he didn't do. Aqua vitae (whatever that is) was never
his downfall, but it made him pleasant company. He
is such a handsome lad that we don't blame the Amherst
girls for succumbing to his charms.

Kolony Klub, Historian, 2; Sociology Club, 2.

James F. Morrice

Vineyard Haven 1917

Good-looking, wavy-haired Jim with his flair for art
will probably become noted for his floral creations. As
one of the three Stockbridge members of the band, he
revealed that he is also gifted with musical talent. His
popularity at Smith College is a sure sign that he will
be successful as a retail florist.

Marion W. Newhall

Peabody 1917

Good-natured Marion; her amiability was the quality
that permitted her to put up with our horse-play. We
think that Olie and Marion would make a great pair,
having a similar make-up. Can't you two do something
about it? Her genial nature and her perseverance have
earned for her the respect of her classmates.

E. C. S., Secretary-Treasurer; Horticultural Show, 2.

Edward F. Norberg

Arlington 1915

Ruth, the Radcliffe girl, took our school giant around
weekends. This may explain why Ed was the class
bluffer. We don't consider Norberg studious, but we
believe he will be a thoroughly practical florist. As
well as being the best hockey player in Stockbridge, he
is one of the most popular fellows in the Floriculture
group.

Edward M. Olson

Belchertown 1916

Slow, but persevering, Olie has worked hard here
and deserves success. He has very little to say in
class, but he is decidedly aware of what is taking
place. He is invariably seen on campus with his bosom
pal, Eastman.

Marshall N. Winkler

Wakefield 1917

Red is an expert skier who bored us constantly with
his lengthy monologues on the art of skiing. He is
deeply interested in carnations and has heated argu-
ments with the professors over the finer points of carna-
tion culture. Red has a fine scholastic record, probably
due to the fact that he is a convincing bluffer.

Silent and attentive, Cal is rather shy, not given to

Quiet, and slow in answering, angular Cliff is always

automobile, to blow up any day, but it virill probably
stay under him for many more contented and slightly
bacchanal miles. On placement at the college, Cliff
literally left his mark on campus.

Hailing from the city of Politicians and Alphabets,
Bernie, with a pleasing personality, an extraordinary

this is a prognostication of what is to come out of that
Maryland nursery.

a group of Horticulture students for the purpose of furthering the students'
interest in this subject. The members take this opportunity to express their
appreciation to Rolf Heitman, Eugene McDonough, and Dewhirst Wade for
their splendid work in drawing up the constitution and program for the year.

The American Cornucopia —

ever and always becoming more healthful
and bountiful.

Howard H. Andrews

Fitchburg 1917

Red, a carefree, slow, sleepy individual who has
never hurried when away from the football field, has
a theory on the conservation of energy that Einstein
would admire. In spite of this seeming impassiveness
and indolence, Red has participated actively in all
school events. He hopes to be a bachelor, but some
fair damsel will come along and upset his applecart
with disastrous results to his placidity of mind.

Frederick O. Fischer

Vineyard Haven 1913

Fred, affectionately known as Gramp by some of his
fun-loving fraternity brothers, is undoubtedly the best-
natured lad in our class. His easy-going, likable
personality is characterized in all he says, does, or
even the way he dresses. The second of three brothers
attending Stockbridge, he will be remembered, as will
they, by his distinctly collegiate Ford.

Mac, one of the few to make a success of entering
as a Senior from an agricultural high school course, is
not known by all, but he is well liked by those who
have come into contact with him. Quiet and good-
natured, he has made a good scholastic record and we
feel sure that his will be another success story. It
seems that there is an interest in Framingham State
Teachers College that isn't in the prescribed course
of study.

Wilbur P. Young

Wallingford, Connecticut 1918

A self-styled Connecticut Hill-Billy and well known
as the very capable manager of the football team for
two years. Starting with last year's class as a poultry-
man, he has changed his course and become a
Pomology major. With this background and with his
confident spirit he should be successful. Will is a
wee bit boisterous at times, and we hear that he is
interested in tree-grown cranberries.

Chris was an able quarterback and piloted our team

life he became well known to the entire student body
for his fairness and his fine personality. He has the
rare faculty of getting along with everyone, especially

in every town between West Springfield and Martha's

We envy Smitty's ability to sleep in class and still

Smitty is one of our socialites, being the leading night-
owl of Stockbridge. His cheerfulness and smiling good-
nature will be remembered for many years by his
numerous friends.

The Massachusetts State College Poultry Club was not as successful as
had been anticipated. Due to a late start only two meetings were held. At
the first meeting, on January 13, a general social program was held and
refreshments were served by the wives of the faculty members. Meetings
for the year were planned and officers were elected.

On February 25 the second meeting was held and Mr. Walter Woodward,
Manager of the Park and Pollard demonstration farm, gave an interesting
talk on "Poultry Problems."

Directly after this the Stockbridge Freshmen poultry majors left and so
no further meetings were held.

With a blue-eyed, innocent beauty that should win

A star in football and an all-around athlete, Tom is

secret, perhaps shared with a little miss in Swampscott
who sends him several perfumed letters each week.

Gil loves to chase the hounds over hill and dale in

ranch of his own.

Somerville 1908

Andy, known to his intimates appropriately as Butch,
because of his hair-cutting technique, was a wild lifer

begins many a discourse on proper management. He
has a wonderful line and plenty of self-confidence, and
should be successful.

Michael W. Miskewich

Chicopee Falls 1918

Mike is an athletic sort of a fellow and has partici-
pated in football, basketball, and baseball. He delighted
in arriving in class just as the bell started to ring —
we assumed that this seeming delinquence was caused
by reluctance to leave the last class. Drawing is Mike's
hobby, and it is our opinion he missed a career in art.

Gene doesn't waste many words in superfluous con-
versation, but he is a genuine outdoor man, having

great deal of his spare time in the library looking up
references for future use. He is an ardent devotee of
Isaac Walton, so he isn't quite as serious as he seems.

J. P. is the most persistent worker in the whole wild

cessful raising of cottontail rabbits in captivity.

Lee spends his spare time in Cushman with pleasant
company, we have no doubt. A dark, good looking

he has spent two summers at M. S. C. raising pheasants

may have lost in theory. His favorite sport is poaching
Ma Goodwin's eggs.

STOCKBRIDGE ALUMNI flSSOCIflTION

The Stockbridge Alumni Association was founded in 1926 by a group of
loyal graduates who had been out into the world for several years busily
mastering life's struggles, but not too busy to realize the lack of strong ties to
hold their interest in Alma Mater and keep old memories and friendships
ever fresh.

The Stockbridge School of Agriculture, or the "Two-Year Course in
Practical Agriculture," as it was known prior to 1928, is a very young School,
registering its first class in 1918. The type of training which was offered in
this non-degree vocational course was entirely different, a new plan of
practical education in agriculture not available at any other college in New
England. So it was really pioneering 'work when Professor John Phelan and
his Faculty Committee set up the standards and courses of study which should
be followed in those earlier years. Thus we find the trial efforts of yesterday
with necessary modifications and change, fast becoming the accepted
practices of today. It was this training, academic, practical, and social, which
has made it possible for our group of Alumni to go out into the world and
become not only skilled workers in the world's oldest and most useful pro-
fession, but good citizens as well. Stockbridge School has a very large
percentage of graduates who are holding positions of responsibility, com-
paring favorably with other types of colleges and institutions. These loyal
sons of Stockbridge are becoming the real backbone of agriculture, not only
in New England, but in many neighboring states.

With such a loyal undergraduate body as there is on the campus each
year, it is only natural that an active Alumni Association should be organized.
Starting as it did during the time when business was good, it had a period
of rapid development and was able to get well established before the begin-
ning of the depression; otherwise it would not have been able to weather the
many years of hard times which came so unexpectedly.

The first meeting of the Alumni organization was held in Sherer's Restau-
rant at Worcester in November of 1926. The committee members who started
the association were Sidney A. Smith, Walter B. Shaw, Arthur R. Taylor,
Gordon E. Steele, and Roger B. Estey, all of the class of 1921. Plans were
formulated at that dinner gathering for the constitution and by-laws which
later that summer were adopted and have been our guiding plan ever since.

The Stockbridge Alumni News first known as Two-Year News was
published by Paul W. Viets, the Supervisor of Placement Training from 1921
to 1927, as a mimeographed sheet, and was sent to all graduates whether
they were active in the Alumni Association or not. Later the Alumni Associ-
ation took over the cost of publishing a printed news letter which is issued
three times each year. The practice the last few years has been that only
those who have paid their alumni dues shall receive this publication. Dues
in the Association are $2.00 annually, which is a very nominal fee when one
considers the cost of circularizing such a large group as we now have on
the School records— 600 in 1924, more than 2000 names in 1937.

STOCKBRIDGE ALUMNI flSSOCIflTION

(CONTINUED)

It should be the object of each graduate or former student of the Stock-
bridge School to join the Alumni Association before he leaves the College and
thereby make a permanent contact between him and his classmates. One
little realizes how much you value the associates whom you have enjoyed
during the two years spent on the campus, until after a year or so when you
find your classmates spread out over the greater part of this country. It is
then that you wish to have some means whereby you can keep informed as
to what each one is doing.

Often it so happens that a graduate upon receiving his credentials at
commencement time feels that now he will be able to go out into his chosen
type of work and have everything pretty much his own way. But, such is far
from the true course of things. The training which is received while studying
here at the College is merely outlining a course for the development of one's
abilities. Whether or not one will follow the proper course and have ability
lead straight to achievement, will depend entirely upon one's own self. It is
like two contractors building a house. One uses good judgment in choosing
materials and planning, while the other does not have knowledge to back his
plans, and soon after the houses are completed the latter needs constant
alteration to secure the desired results. The old saying, "Experience is a dear
teacher," still holds true even in the case of Stockbridge graduates. It will
be found that one may learn much by matching experiences with those who
have had the same training and are employed in much the same kind of
work and thereby save oneself the mistakes and errors which would otherwise
have to be endured.

Reviewing all that has been said, it is easy to visualize a year or two
hence the value of belonging to the Alumni Association of your School and
keeping posted on the activities of the College and of your classmates and
acquaintances .

zation are listed below with the periods of their service indicated.

In addition to the above mentioned officers there are many more faithful
alumni who have served on special committees whenever their services were
required.

The Stockbridge School Alumni Association wishes to take this oppor-
tunity to express its sincere appreciation for the faithful support it has received
from its officers and members and the valuable aid and guidance it has
enjoyed through these trying days of youthful trial and faltering growth from
President Hugh P. Baker, Director Roland H. Verbeck, and the faculty of Massa-
chusetts State College.

We, as older members of this organization, are glad to welcome the Class
of 1937 into our midst.

ALDEN C. BALLARD, Secretary.

STOCKBRIDGE SPRING ATHLETIC TROPHY

The Stockbridge Intra-mural plaque is donated by the Physical Education
Department to promote greater interest in the Spring athletic program of the
Stockbridge School of Agriculture. To increase competition, the Senior class
is divided into four sections during the Spring semester. One group is com-
posed of the members of the two fraternities, and is known as the "Club"
team. The second team is made up of Seniors majoring in Dairy Manu-
factures, and is called the "Dairy" team. The "Hort" team is composed of
students majoring in Horticulture, Floriculture, and Pomology. The "Wild
Life" team is made up of Seniors majoring in Wild Life Management, Animal
Husbandry, and Poultry Husbandry.

The Spring program is divided into three parts — an indoor track meet
held in April, an outdoor track meet held in May, and an intramural base-
ball league schedule, with each team playing the other teams at least twice.
The trophy will be awarded each year to the team having the highest average
standing in all three events, and may be retained for a year in that department.

The plaque was won in 1937 by the Dairy team.

STOCKBRIDGE HONORARY SCHOLASTIC SOCIETY

Early this year at one of the regular meetings of the Stockbridge Faculty
Advisory Committee, Miner J. Markuson, Assistant Professor of Agricultural
Engineering, presented the suggestion that a plan be adopted by which
Stockbridge students who achieved a high scholastic record during their
two years here could receive some recognition for that work. It has been
a custom in the School for many years to award letters, sweaters, and certifi-
cates to students who compete successfully for places on the various athletic
teams; the members of "The Shorthorn" staff receive a place of prominence
in the yearbook; the Student Council this year has selected special hats as
an emblem of the duties and responsibilities vested in them; and all of these
are extra-curricular activities, not definitely scheduled or required on the study
program, but, nevertheless, playing a very important part in the broadening
influences of our Stockbridge life.

To the faculty group this idea of encouraging high scholarship appealed
strongly and it was voted to appoint a special committee to submit full plans.
As a result of this committee's careful work a plan of procedure has been
adopted which the Faculty Advisory Com_mittee hopes will serve to emphasize
the importance of sound scholastic standards among all Stockbridge under-
graduates.

The name selected was "Stosag", the original suggestion of Professor
Markuson, and comprises the first three letters of Stockbridge, the central S
for "School" and the last two letters representing the first two in the word
"Agriculture". Thus, it combines effectively letters from the three main words
in the name of the School and yet is short, dignified, and easily pronounced.
The "O" is given the sound as in "stone", and the "a" as in the word from
which it came.

The purpose of the organization is "To honor and publicly reward those
graduates of the Stockbridge School of Agriculture who have attained high
scholastic standing and have shown the attributes of good citizenship."

Selection of honor students is made from those graduates of each year,
beginning with 1937, whose records show no grade below 70 in any subject
and whose average for the first three semesters is 85 or better. Other students
may be considered when outstanding records in placement training or in other
studies may justify special consideration.

Special regulations are simple and specific. They are: (a) there shall
be no future organization of members of this society; (b) there shall be no
dues of any sort; (c) there shall be no election of faculty to honorary member-
ship; (d) the weighted method of striking averages shall be followed; and
(e) placement training grades shall be used to guide the Faculty Advisory
Committee in making selections, but shall not be included in averages
submitted.

Awards shall be made by the Director or his selected representative at
the annual Commencement exercise in June. The award shall be an engraved
certificate signed by the President of the College and the Director of Short
Courses.

The first group of honor students ever to be selected in this way has been
chosen from the Class of 1937 and we take pride in recording their names in
this yearbook of the class as a tribute to their effort, persistence, and ability.

HORTICULTURAL SHOW

The twenty-eighth annual Horticultural Show was held in the cage of
the Physical Education Building on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, November
sixth, seventh, and eighth. The main feature of the show was a very attractive
formal garden, constructed by Stockbridge students, and sponsored by the
Horticulture Club. Stockbridge students also received numerous awards in
individual and group exhibits.

ACTIVITIES

RING COMMITTEE

The Class of 1937 introduced the new Stockbridge ring which is intended
to start a tradition which will continue to symbolize the Stockbridge School
and all its achievements. The ring is set with a blue spinel stone, signifying
one of the school colors. On one shank of the ring is the seal of the State
of Massachusetts. The other shank contains the authentic coat-of-arms of
Levi Stockbridge, after whom the Stockbridge School of Agriculture is named.

The Stockbridge coat-of-arms consists of a shield with three crescents
arranged triangularly. The crescents symbolize the three crusades against
the Saracens during the Middle Ages. The crest of the coat-of-arms is a
knight's helmet with a closed visor, indicating preparedness to do battle for
truth and righteousness and to relieve the oppressed.

The year began with the first meeting held at the 4-H Clubhouse. All
Senior members and ten Freshmen were present. After the functions and
activities of the club were explained to the new girls, Miss Hamlin gave a
very interesting description of her recent trip to Alaska. She illustrated her
talk with postcards, photographs and several native-made souvenirs. The
meeting was adjourned after refreshments were served. At the last meeting,
during which next year's officers were elected, a social hour was held.

Although the year did not hold many social events for us, it was quite
successful and enjoyable. We hope that next year's members will arrange
a more active program and carry on the traditions of the S. C S.

With the aid of our new and popular faculty adviser, Rudolph Monosmith,
we have enjoyed a very successful year.

Mr. Monosmith has been a constant and most helpful friend and we take
this opportunity to express our gratitude and appreciation for his assistance.

STOCKBRIDGE SOCIOLOGY CLUB

This organization has developed from the series of discussion group
meetings which have been led by Rev. K. C. MacArthur. Protestants, Catho-
lics, and Jews have all participated in the discussions of social and religious
problems. Among the topics treated during the current academic year have
been: Religion and Communism, Evolution and Religion, The Meaning of
Thanksgiving and Christmas, Choosing a Life Partner, Home Life, and
The Place of Suffering in Experience.

The thanks of the group are due the Kolony Klub and the Alpha Tau
Gamma for their generosity in opening their houses for these meetings.

ATHLETICS

FOOTBALL

With only five lettermen returning, Coach Ball and Alden P. Tuttle had
to work hard to whip the team into first class condition for the initial game.
The team opened the season with a flying start, but slowed down as the
season advanced, due largely to the many injuries to the players. The
objective game with Deerfield was lost in the last half when they recovered
our fumble and converted it into a touchdown.

The second and third teams had an excellent season, coming through
undefeated. There are several promising stars, some of whom will be regulars
next year, forming a fine nucleus for a bigger and better team.

Letter awards to Seniors are as follows: Co-captains, Elmer Hair and
Barry Bush, Howard Andrews, Harry Acker, Donald Baldwin, Thomas Boyce,
Joseph Bauks, Irving Christensen, Joseph Drago, Armando Emanuele, Frederick
Fischer, Bernard Jackimczyk, Anthony Merino, Winthrop Sanderson, Frederick
Tucker, Carleton Whittaker, and Manager Wilbur Young.

Freshmen receiving letters were: Captain-elect Ernest Fournier, Eben
Brown, Henry Griffin, Edwin Helander, and Richard Sparks.

CROSS COUNTRY

This year's cross country team, under the able guidance of Coach
Llewellyn Derby, emulated last year's squad and handed in the second
consecutive undefeated record. Although fewer meets were scheduled, the
competition was keen. Throughout the entire season the team showed a fine
fighting spirit that seemed to make it invincible.

Seniors earning letters were as follows: Stanley Bartlett, Joseph Broughton,
Clifford Cummings, Arthur Ecklund, Manager Frederick Fife, Captain Douglas
Graves, Robert Hodgen, Henry Mackie, and George Trowbridge.

Freshmen earning letters were: Co-captains Lawrence Bearce and Lowell
Hammond.

HOCKEY

Due to poor ice conditions, the hockey team was able to play only four
games, three of which were lost. The opening game at Williston was lost by
one goal after a hard fought battle. The team then traveled to Deerfield to
lose a see-sow game when Deerfield scored in the last few seconds of play.
In the return game, Williston overpowered us by a fast skating aggregation.
The final game with the State Freshmen was played on the College pond on
ice which made skating almost impossible. The game was called after the
first overtime period, with both teams scoreless.

Letter awards to Seniors: Captain Edward Norberg, Donald Baldwin,
Joseph Bauks, Armando Emanuele, Joseph Goldrick, John Keenan, Samuel
Lowery, Anthony Merino, William Prindle, Robert Shattuck, and Manager,

BASKETBALL

With only three lettermen returning, Coach Ball had to v/ork hard to fill
several vacancies. He discovered some very promising material in the
persons of Joseph Martula and Percival Hastings, both of the Class of 1938.
The team completed its season with four wins and five losses, losing the
objective game to the Essex Aggies in an overtime period. The high scorers
and outstanding performers were Captain Frank Wojtkielewicz, Walter
Wanczyk, and Captain-elect Joseph Martula.

Seniors earning letters were as follows: George Bush, Gordon Cahill,
Frederic Callahan, Robert Eisenhauer, Elwyn Fowles, Manager, Sidney Gould,
Elmer Hair, Fred Taylor, Walter Wancz-^^k, and Captain Frank Wojtkielewicz.

The indoor track squad members are to be commended for their fine spirit
of perseverance and enthusiasm. In spite of a limited team and a short
season, the squad made a notable showing in all meets, particularly in the
inter-class meet with M. S. C, when they won second place. The outstanding
performers were Captain Arthur Hartshorn, Sam Lowery, Edward Haczela,
and Robert Coffin.

The following Seniors received letters: Captain Arthur Hartshorn, Samuel

CLASS PLAY

Our scene is laid in the Village of Clovelly on the -wind-swept coast of
Devon. Far above, on a stormy crag, clinging by its toes, there stands a
pirate's hut. We had hoped we might see a pirate ship at sea, a swaying
mast, full set with canvas, a victim walking off the plank into the roaring sea.
But alas, our pirates grow old and stiff. They have retired, as we say, from
active practice and live in luxury on shore. Yet their villany still thrives.
We are quick to think that childhood passes with the years, that its fine fancy
is blunted with the practice of the world. But, if man permits, a child keeps
house within his heart. For him, long will live the timid Patch-eye, the evil
Duke limping on his wooden leg, the roaring Captain flourishing his hook.
Darling and her one tooth, sinister Old Meg, Red Joe and Betsy who are, —
but if the child in your heart still lives, you have always known who they are.
And once again in Wappin' Wharf, despite the sign-post of the years, we
have run on the "laughing avenues of childhood".
