DEDICATION
To agricultm'e in the future, we dedicate this yearbook. The -rav has served
to bring out its importance, but this importance itself is nothing new, for agri-
culture hats alvays been the foundation of oui- nation. The needs of the future
marK agric^olture as outstanding.
It is now evident tliiit bo-called "surpluses" of food were the result of poor
distribution. IJora food must be produced in the futux-e to provide people -..-ith
proper diets, to koep pace \jith the ever-rising standtird of living, and to
supply industry with its increasing needs. Y'hile it is evident that the world
of the future gives greuter taL.Jcs for the agriculturist, it is also true that
his stJHndard of living v;ill steadily rise due to an expending but more dependable
market .
For succeeding generations, scientific research has done i.iuch to preserve
and increase the soil's Tvealth. Men und T.oiaen of Stockbridge are. learning how
to apply these scientific methods and are ventui*ing forth to practice them.
These methods are being practiced by the aid of modern farm machinery and it is
by this meaiis only that the gigantic production goale ctm be achieved.
Agriculture is nov; on the stage playing a leaaing part as her sv/eet but
sturdy voice shouts forth her mission, " ever onward, never faltering ."

CLASS HISTORY
We wandered into Amherst from all directions to begin our studies in Stock-
bridge in the autumn of '43. Being the first class to graduate under the
accelerated wartime program has been a history-making experience.
On September 27th all registered at the Short Course Office and classes began
on the following day. New acquaintances were made and many lasting friendships
have developed. The seasonal holidays marked the end of our first semester and all
went home for two vreeks.
Again we came to Amherst to resume our studies v/hich began on January 3. The
second semester saw the arrival of a veteran of the South Pacific in our midst.
Time passed rapidly. The poultry students were the first, to leave for their place-
ment training and they were followed one month later by the remainder of Stock-
bridge men and women.
Our time at Stockbridge was well spent and has shovm us a guiding light to
the future.

Biz intends to return to his father ' s farm and it is
evident that he will make a good farmer. He is character-
ized by his overalls and Chesterfield drawl. One possession
of his, a dollar watch, keeps his friends informed as to the
time of day. He is a gooa student ana is eager to acquire
a better knowledge of farming. Getting to bed early some
night is one of Biz's fond hopes but they are nearly alv;ays
dashed by the activities of his roommates or other friends
so Biz is continually in a sleepy condition. \ie are sure
that Biz will be a success no matter what phavSe of farming
he enters.

An Animal Husbandry major v/ho showed much interest in
his studies. Knovjn to hi;3 classmates as "Buckie" he v/as a
very diplomatic fellov/ wno won the friendship of everyone
he met. A fellov; who liked to dance and never passed one
by. He played right guard on the Stockbridge basketball
team and generally scored the most points. He also took
part in the swimming meet. Fellows sometimes are true to
their girls, and Buckie was one. A husbetndry man sure to
succeed because of his congenial mariner and the persistency

Burt, An. Hus. m.ajor, seemed to be more interested in
horses than in what he v^as studying. When time permitted,
he browsed through books about horses and planned his future
horse farm. Besides horses he liked his cows and, as a
result, spent liis v/eekends doijvn at the barns. He contri-

Dave intends to own a dairy farm, sometime in the future.
He is very adept at giving precise, if not somewhat distended
descriptions of the peculiarities concerning himself and
friends. Although characterized by a lanky boay and rather
extensive feet, hs manages to get around and get good raarks.
His tendency to ¥/ear green flannel shirts makes him easily
recognizable. Hq is always trying to discourage someone's
attempts to improve himself or his status by going into
vivid accounts of the mone;/ involved in such a project,
although his main hobby is sleeping, he never refuses some-
one's offer of eatables. His aspiration for the near future
is some form of car. If you know him you can scarcely help
but like him.
David George Clapp
We s thampton , Mas s .
He was imown to all his fellow students as Red. This
is no unusual name, for one look at the top of his head
will give all justification needed in explanation of such a
title . In outdoor life and while at Cummings ' house he
ranked on top v/ith everyone. His scholastic ability proved
him in a class with the average student. When the weekends
rolled arouiid our scarlet-headed lad seemed to long for the
life of the city. Holyoke must have contained much interest
in certain lines. To Red we ivish the best of success and
are sure that this will be attained if his abilities are
usea to the best advantage.
Creighton Hamill
Holyoke, Mass.
Tom was one of the most docile fellows at Stockbridge,
but when a chance occurred he really furnished excitement
for his fellow members of Cummings' House. Tom already ha-s
acquired much knowledge in the dairy field through experience
and books. Vilhile here he surpassed all others in sound judg-
ment about practical problems. Upon leaving Stockbridge, Tom
is returning home to carry on his ovm farm. liYith his level-
headedness, ambition, and past experience, we are sure that
he will do a very creditable job at home. In yeart; to co:ne
we look forward to seeing Tom's name among the purebred
Guernsey breeders. We wish him the best of luck in the
future and are sure that as time rolls on he will come out
on top.

Gil hails from the tovm of Grafton. He is one of those
very good natured fellows who v/ould do anything for anyone.
He is often seen racing across campus about two minutes
before eight in a flashy green convertible coupe, which we
all have made use of at one time or another. Vteekenas his
interests lie in iimherst, Springfield, and Grafton. In the
very near future he plans to go into dairy farming and raise
the best herd of Ayrshire cattle in this section. V/e all

Even though Pat, as he v/as called, lived in a house
with no other Stockbridge student he seemed always to be
with the gang. His ability in school and in furnishing
humor while with the rest of the fellows far surpassed
oars. Vi'hile here Pa.t acted as one of the janitors of the
abattoir and was also very much interested in the pro-
fession of slaughtering. With this experience he has done
killing and dressing of farm hogs, with Mason, dui'ing
Cliristmas holidays with profit. Pat's abilities and
ambition v;ill bring him success in the dairy field.

Birgy, alias Tommy Doi'sey, as he was called at Stock-
bridge, is very versatile on the trumpet and accordion and
added to the enjoyment of all with his imitations of that
famed orchestra leader, hence the nickname. He was con-

basketball. His generally fine but all too trusting nature,
has won him many friends and we hope that he Vifill have the

From where this school name "Fido" originated, is a
mystery to everyone. Since his first day here iiis real name
was forgotten and Fido has been the substitute. Fido was
another member of the Cummings' ho\ise gang. At the beginning
of the year his mind was on books most of the time; however,
after a fev; 7/eeks of living in such an active atmosphere, he
joined the other members in their continuous struggle for
exciting activities. Vv'e will always remember his contri-

Bob was the best built fellow in Stockbridge . V.'ith his
football experience in high school it seems as though Bob
would have been an outsttinding player for StocKuridge had
the present-day crisis permitted us to have a team this year.
In character this feilov/ has proven himself to bo worthy of
all the credit aiid honor bestowed upon him while here. Bob
was chosen President of his class. This position carried
much extra work for Bobj however, he did a wonderful job and
we of the class are grateful to liim. Bob led a very active
life wi-iile here. His visits to Northampton jmcl Sugoxloaf
brought about much discussion among the members of Cuiimings'
house. We wish him the best of luck, cuid are sure that he
will be a successfial dairyman in years to come.
Robert Lev/is Thompson

Rob is a likeable g'uy ¥/ith a habit of eating second
dinners as he now indicates. It seems as though he likes to
get up early, as he works down at the barn every morning
before school, never quite getting over to eat breakfast,
but dining in the College Store . He certainly has sho?m
the rest of us up in Farm Shop. It seems as though everyone
wants to sit beside him. Ohl incidentally, the Draft Board
keeps in close touch with him lately, iin ardent Boy Scout,
he travels to "Hamp" every Thursday night to keep from
breaking his attend&nce record. Tom Buchanan wonders when
he will buy some cigarettes. They are such Great Friends.
Robert Hector Thouin
Northampton, Mass.
Tobe, as he v/as Imovin at Stockbridge, was the youngest
and most active fellow of the class. He- mental capabilities
were far better than expected in view of his age. He was
another of those Cumraings' house students, if one may be per-
mitted to call them by such a name, who fully succeeded in
causing excitement tiuroughout the year. When tlriings were in
full sviing, with furniture being broken, no one needed to ask
for aid in locating Tobe . He was aly/ays in the midst of
commotion and contributing his bit towards real action.
Tobe's career dreams have travelled far from Wew England.
Being a great lover of horses and the range, he hopes to
settle in the West. In a fev/ years we are sure Tobe will be
riding the range on his own prosperous ranch.

Don always had a pleasant "hi" for everyone and that is
the reason for his many friends. He was seldom seen in
Amherst on weekends, but was alv/ays homeward bound. Could
it be a friend? VJhere there was excitement Don was likely
to be found and there certainly were plenty of egg fights at
the Poultry Plant. But he knev; when to fool and was at the
other extreme when it came to studies. He was a good student
and because of his persistency and will to advance it seems
evident that here is the making of a successful poultryman.
Vie wish him much luck and success in his chosen field.
Donald Raymond Bolin
Milford, Mass.
You remember Fred as one of the poultry trio. During
his six months stay here, he resided on the other side of
Butterfield. We have often wondered why he persisted in
coming home that way — there are other ways that are
shorter. He's the tall fellov/ frequently seen lurking
around the Poultry Plant, always whistling Irish airs. But
still, Fred hasn't done too badly here at Stockbridge; no
wonder it seems that 10:30 is an early hour for him to go
to bed. When he leaves we know that success will go with
him diiring his placement and in his own endeavors and
ambitions .

Up from the salty coast came Tony, with an infectious
quick wit and a sincere interest in Horticulture. His
ability to make friends was sixrpassed only by his ability
to enter class activities. A versatile athlete, he v/as

efforts along this line to the Ornamental Horticulture
class. To him one of the better things in life is golfing,

ATHIiETICS
This year sports at Stockbridge v;ere dropped for the duration of the war. As
a result of this, the football season passed with only a few boys from both schools,
Stockbridge and Mass. State, tossing a football on Alumni Field.
Then the cold set in and the boys of Stockbridge played informal basketball
in the big gym. During the last of November, Mr. Briggs of the Physical Education
Department suggested that the boys of both schools form an inter-ccllege basketball
league. So it happened that from seven teams two leagues were formed to compete
for the championship of the College. Stockbridge contributed two teams to these
leagues; Stockbridge I to League I and Stockbridge II to League II.

TO THE ST UDENTS OF THE STOCKBRIDGE SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE :
My hearty congratulations go to you who have completed your training for
service which will be oi invaluable aid to the Allied armies now fighting for
victory.
It is said often that food will win the war and write the peace. In con-
tributing to the efficient and speedy production of food, each of you is aiding
directly our final victory. The array on the proauction line in the factories,
and the array producing food are equally important in our battle for the final
defeat of the Axis.
You are to be congratulated for taking your place in the food production
army, for you can look for no spectacular service, no medals for bravery, there.
But your heroism and self-sacrifice v/ill raean just as much to the success of the
allied armies in this war as the heroic deeds of our young men atia women overseas
in the battle area.
We v>/ish you good luck and Godspeed, as you go out to take your place in the
important wartime v/ork of agriculture. Ifours is an important responsibility,
and we feel confident that you will meet successfully the challenge of our nation
at war.

THE VvJia AND YOCJR SCHOOL
The school year 194-3-/44- finds Stockbridge, like all other schools and
colleges, facing the stern realities of the greatest v/ar in history. Fvadical
changes have had to be made in the school program to make possible even the
smallest enrolments in agriculture. Several of our major courses have no' students
registered and have been temporarily cancelled, such as Dairy Manufactures, Hotel
Stewarding, and Fruit Grovring.
Early last year it was seen these changes would be inevitable, and the
administration and faculty recommended the one year yjar emergency program we have
now adopted, lowering the entering age from f>eventeen to sixteen years. Fall
term registration brought fourteen new students in Animal Husbandry, four for
Poultry, three for Vegetable Gardening, and five for a combined course in Horti-
culture and Floriculture, since neither of these could be given singly. After
completing tvro twelve week terms of classes ail students will immediately take
farm jobs for placement, and if this six months v«'ork is completed creditably,
certificates, not the usual tvv'o-year diploma, vfill be mailed to them. This means
no formal graduation or any of the usual school activities, such as dances and
athletic teams, are now possible. Stockbridge is on a strictly war basis for the
duration, hoping to be able to keep its facilities in working shape for its
present student body, giving them the best we have, ana ready to expand and restore
the old program once peace is declared. Vife are sure there will be ample need then
for everything we can give when our soldier-farmers coming marching home.
A brief summary of Stockbridge registration shows hov/ the war has curtailed
our ' numbers .
Registration 1941 Second year - 105 First Year - 110 Total' - 215
Registration 1942 Second Year - 59 First Year - 71 Total - 130
Registration 1943 Second Year - None First Year - 27 Total - 27
To the students of the one year class of 1944- we extend our sincere ?fell-
wishes for the future. You are doing your essential part in food production as
a war contribution, difficult as it is to stay on the farm. Even though your
numbers are small, you, too, have played an important part in the life of Stock-
bridge, a part you and I vdll not soon forget. Vve appreciate your spirit and
loyalty in keeping alive the custom of a school yearbook as a record of this year
at Massachusetts State College.

SONGS
MEN OF STOCKBRIDGE
(Tune - Fair Harvard)
Oh Stocktoidge, thy sons this fair valley proclaim,
As the years bring us back into June,
And our hearts ever quicken with pride for thy name,
AS we sing this familiar old tune.
Tho' the days have been long, filled with v/ork and with play,
All thy precepts shall guide us afar,
To the truth and the honor of honest work done.
As we follow thy radiant star.
Oh, Spirit of Truth, be oui- guide thru the years,
May our eyes ever lift to the hills.
Give us strength for the tasks vfhich the future ehall bring,
And peace by the murmuring rills.
The ploughshare atid reaper still call as of yore.
Our sons to the lure of the land.
And the lamps we are lighting in these hallowed halls,
Are Gleams from the star in thy hand.
ALIJIA MATER HiilL
(Tune - Cornell iilma Mater)
'Neath the Elms of dear old Amherst,
Stands our College fair,
Hail to thee our Alma Mater
Stockbridge men go there .
Working ever, falter never,
Onward tov/ard our goal.
Give your best to good old Stockbridge,
Body, heart, and soul.
Tho' the hours are quickly passing
And we soon must part.
Thy great halls vi^ill not be lonely
They contain our hearts.
In the futiire thoughts will wander
Back, and we v.'iil see
Scenes we knev; at dear old Stockbridge;
Alv/ays dear they'll be.
(Charles F. Mandeii, S'39
