BORN 


FDREWDRD 


The  present  questionable  state  of  world  affairs  makes  any  plans  for  the  future 
subject  to  the  possibility  of  many  radical  changes.  Yet,  in  the  very  shadow  of  this 
dark  and  ominous  threat  to  all  the  ways  of  life  that  we  hold  dear,  we  are  graduating 
and  preparing  to  embark;  each  on  his  own  path  of  life,  to  our  future  and  whatever 
it  holds  for  us. 

Much  time  has  been  spent  in  the  preparation  of  this  book,  so  that  no  matter 
where  we  may  be,  the  memories  of  our  two  years  at  the  Stockbridge  School  will 
always  be  at  our  fingertips. 

Schoolmates,  faculty  members,  and  all  of  the  little  incidents  which  make  college 
life  what  it  is,  have  all  been  trapped  and  implanted  in  these  pages,  to  travel  with 
us  as  we  go  forth,  each  to  do  his  part  and  receive  his  just  reward.

Professor   Lindquist 


Professor  Harry  Gotfred  Lindquist  (known 
to  most  of  us  as  "Lindy")  came  to  the  Massa- 
chusetts Agricultural  College  as  a  freshman  in 
1916  from  Holden,  Massachusetts,  where  he  had 
been  reared  on  a  farm — a  sound  foundation  for 
his   future   profession   in   agricultural   education. 

With  the  outbreak  of  World  War  I,  he  served 
in  the  famous  26th  Infantry  Division  in  Europe 
where  he  was  wounded  in  action. 

After  the  war.  Professor  Lindquist  returned 
to  the  Massachusetts  Agricultural  College,  and  was 
graduated  in  1922.  Two  years  later  he  received  his 
Master  of  Science  degree  from  the  University  of 
Maryland,  where  he  had  served  as  a  graduate 
assistant  in  the  dairy  department.  After  teaching 
dairying  for  a  year  at  Maryland,  he  spent  two 
more  years  as  a  graduate  assistant  at  Ohio  State 
University. 

In  1927,  Professor  Lindquist  was  called  back 
to  his  Alma  Mater  as  instructor  in  dairying,  to 
teach  market  milk,  butter  and  cheese  making.  Dur- 
ing the  twenty-five  years  that  he  has  been  on  the 


faculty,  he  has  given  unsparingly  of  his  time  and 
energy  to  his  students.  Because  of  his  interest  in 
student  activities  and  in  high  quality  dairy  products, 
he  has  been  active  in  coaching  our  dairy  products 
judging  teams.  In  addition  to  his  teaching  respon- 
sibilities, he  has  found  time  to  do  research  work, 
as  is  evidenced  by  his  contribution  of  articles  on 
food  and  dairy  subjects  in  scientific  journals  and 
trade  papers. 

Secretary  of  the  Eastern  Section  of  the  Ameri- 
can Dairy  Science  Association,  and  past  chairman 
and  present  vice-president  of  the  Massachusetts 
Milk  Inspectors'  Association,  Professor  Lindquist  is 
held  in  high  esteem  by  the  dairy  industry  through- 
out the  State. 

In  dedicating  the  1952  Shorthorn  to  Professor 
Lindquist,  the  Stockbridge  School  is  proud  to  honor 
one  of  its  finest  teachers — a  man  who  has  given 
enthusiastically  of  his  best  to  Stockbridge  men 
and  women.

PRESIDENT'S 
MESSAGE 


Ralph  A.  Van  Meter 


To  the  Stockbridge  Class  of  1952 : 

As  you  leave  this  campus  that  has  been  your 
home  for  two  years  you  will  break  many  relation- 
ships  that  have  meant  much  to  you.  In  the  rush 
of  living  your  attention  will  turn  more  and  more 
to  other  things  and  as  the  years  pass  you  will  prize 
more  and  more  highly  a  volume  such  as  this  that 
recalls  a  time  that  you  will  recognize  as  days  apart, 
days  that  marked  turning  points  in  your  lives. 

This  yearbook  is  a  memorial  to  your  Stock- 
bridge  days.  It  is  written  by  you  fellows  to  preserve 
the  memories  of  Stockbridge.  Many  of  the  things 
that  have  been  brought  together  Jiere  in  print  and 
picture  are  things  of  which  each  of  you  was  a  part. 
They  will  bring  to  mind  countless  other  more 
intimate  recollections  of  a  very  personal  nature. 

We  believe  that  it  will  make  your  lives  more 
enjoyable  if  you  make  an  effort  to  maintain  the 
contacts  you  formed  in  Stockbridge  in  these  days 
when  you  had  so  much  in  common.  The  Alumni 
Association  is  organized  to  help  you  and  deserves 
your  earnest  support.  You  can  become  a  life  mem- 
ber of  the  Stockbridge  family  in  which  you  will  be 


associated  with  many  of  the  leaders  in  Agriculture 
in  the  Northeastern  states. 

You  leave  the  campus  to  face  a  future  full  of 
uncertainties.  This  is  not  so  unusual  as  it  seems  to 
you.  Most  of  us  have  had  that  experience  and  we 
have  seen  many  other  classes  graduated  into  com- 
plex and  tangled  situations.  We  know  that  some- 
where there  is  a  place  for  each  of  you.  Your 
services  are  needed  and  with  a  sound  training  to 
your  credit  you  should  look  to  the  future  with 
confidence  in  your  ability  to  forge  ahead  just  as 
long  as  you  keep  on  learning  and  trying  to  meet 
situations  fairly  as  they  arise.  Times  of  stress  often 
afford  the  greatest  opportunities  to  those  who  are 
able  and  who  are  willing  to  try. 

We  who  are  to  remain  on  the  campus  are  still 
interested  in  you  and  in  your  progress.  We  hope 
you  will  keep  your  memories  of  Stockbridge  green 
and  that  you  will  maintain  your  contacts  with  us 
and  with  your  classmates.  Remember  that  whatever 
you  do  and  wherever  you  go  you  have  our  best 
wishes — always.

DIRECTDR'S 
MESSAGE 


Roland  H.  Verbeck 


With  the  publication  of  this  yearbook  of  the 
class  of  1952,  you  are  adding  your  names  to  the 
long  list  of  graduates  of  Stockbridge  who  have 
preceded  you  since  the  first  class  of  1920  completed 
its  formal  schooling  here.  That  first  graduating  class 
numbered  slightly  more  than  a  dozen  students  while 
the  class  you  represent  will  add  to  the  alumni  body 
more  than  ten  times  that  number. 

It  is  our  sincere  hope  that  this  increasing  man' 
power  we  are  sending  forth  each  year  into  the 
blood  stream  of  the  nation  will  prove  its  value. 
We  are  confident  it  will. 

But  with  all  the  training  you  have  secured 
here,  there  must  be  one  factor  in  each  man's  spiritual 
development  without  which  no  true  success  can 
ever  be  achieved  in  life.  What  this  is  can  best  be 
suggested  in  the  simple  prayerful  words  of  Abraham 
Lincoln  in  his  farewell  to  his  neighbors  in  Spring' 
field,  Illinois,  upon  his  departure  for  Washington 
in  1861,  as  he  was  facing  the  problems  of  an 
impending  civil  war. 

"My  friends:  No  one,  not  in  my  situation,  can 


appreciate  my  feeling  of  sadness  at  this  parting. 
To  this  place,  and  the  kindness  of  these  people,  I 
owe  everything.  Here  I  have  lived  a  quarter  of  a 
century,  and  have  passed  from  a  young  to  an  old 
man.  Here  my  children  have  been  born,  and  one  is 
buried.  I  now  leave,  not  knowing  when  or  whether 
ever  I  may  return,  with  a  task  before  me  greater 
than  that  which  rested  upon  Washington.  Without 
the  assistance  of  that  Divine  Being  who  ever 
attended  him,  I  cannot  succeed.  With  that  assist" 
ance,  I  cannot  fail.  Trusting  in  Him  who  can  go 
with  me,  and  remain  with  you,  and  be  everywhere 
for  good,  let  us  confidently  hope  that  all  will  yet 
be  well.  To  His  care  commending  you,  as  I  hope 
in  your  prayers  you  will  commend  me,  I  bid  you 
an  affectionate  farewell." 

Such  leaders  as  Washington  and  Lincoln  have 
bequeathed  to  us  the  America  we  are  privileged 
to  hve  in  today.  But  they  have  always  recognized 
that  God's  help  alone  could  sustain  them  through 
their  crises  of  danger  and  despair. 

More  than  ever  men  of  such  calibre  are  needed 
today.  How  will  you  face  the  challenge?

STDRY  OF 

LEVI 

STDCKBRIDGE 


Levi  Stockbridge 


Levi  Stockbridge  was  born  on  a  farm  in  Had-' 
ley,  Massachusetts,  March  13,  1820.  After  attend-* 
ing  the  district  school  and  Hopkins  Academy,  his 
keen  intellectual  curiosity  drove  him  to  spend  his 
evenings  and  rainy  days  in  further  study.  For 
several  winters  he  taught  the  district  school  and 
in  the  local  Lyceum  he  trained  himself  as  a  speaker 
and  writer.  When  the  responsibilities  of  the  home 
farm  fell  to  him,  he  saw  clearly  the  need  of  improved 
farming  methods  and  of  greater  knowledge  of 
underlying  scientific  principles.  He  studied  all  avail' 
able  works  on  agriculture  and  early  made  a  reputa- 
tion as  a  pioneer  in  agricultural  experiments. 

For  many  years  he  served  in  the  State  Legisia' 
ture.  As  a  member  of  the  State  Board  of  Agricul- 
ture he  was  among  the  first  to  work  for  the  estab- 
lishment of  the  Massachusetts  Agricultural  College. 
When  the  college  took  form  in  1867,  he  became 
farm  superintendent  and  teacher  of  agriculture.  His 


experience  as  a  farmer  and  in  business  helped  him 
in  shaping  courses  for  his  students  which  combined 
classroom  lectures  with  practical  farm  work.  Friend 
and  counselor  of  "his  boys,"  he  won  the  respect 
and  affection  of  all  students. 

He  was  Professor  of  Agriculture  from  1869 
to  1880  and  President  of  the  College  1880-82.  Dur' 
ing  these  years  he  investigated  the  value  of  soil 
mulch  and  the  leaching  of  plant  food.  His  experi- 
ments with  fertilizers  led  him  to  develop  the  Stock' 
bridge  Formulas  which  for  the  first  time  supplied 
crops  with  nitrogen,  phosphoric  acid  and  potash  in' 
one  complete  fertilizer.  His  first  $1000  in  royalties 
from  the  Stockbridge  Formulas  went  into  experi' 
mental  work  which  laid  the  foundation  for  the 
Massachusetts  Experiment  Station. 

He    resigned    from   the   College   in    1882    but 
was  a  firm  advocate  of  cooperative  enterprise  and 
active  in  all  town  affairs  until  his  death  in  1904. 
— Charles  H.  Thayer. 


Editor's  Note: 

The  Stoc\hridge  School  of  Agriculture,  the  two-year  agricultural  school  at  the  University 
of  Massachusetts,  proudly  hears  the  name  of  this  great  man  and,  since  its  establishment  in  1918, 
continues  to  be  a  living  memorial  to  a  great  personage  in  American  agriculture.

GRA  D  UA  TES 


Each  of  us  has  his  own  special  way  of  trodding 
the  road  of  Hfe.  But  whatever  be  the  way  and 
wherever  it  may  lead,  let  us  not  fail  to  realize  the 
value  of  our  school  days,  the  companionship  of 
friends  good  and  true,  and  above  all  the  place  and 
personalities  through  which  we  gained  a  wealth  of 
knowledge  to  face  the  future.

dent). 


On  October  5,  1950,  a  fall  windy  day,  250 
students  entered  Stockbridge  School  of  Agriculture. 
Classes  began  and  we  started  off  with  a  bang 
trying  to  find  various  buildings  and  classrooms.  Our 
initial  task  was  to  elect  our  class  officers.  Director 
Roland  Verbeck  was  our  advisor  and  with  his  help 
we  elected  for  President  John  Dohartery,  Vice- 
President  Paul  McCarron,  Secretary  Fred  .  Kelly,  ■ 
Treasurer  Joe  Merchant.  With  the  excellent  coach- 
ing of  Steve  Kosakowski  we  held  our  own  in  the 
field  of  sports.  After  choosing  one  of  the  fraterni- 
ties we  really  found  out  what  college  life  was 
like  with  many  dances  and  plenty  of  clean  fun 
among  our  brothers.  We  now  felt  established  and 
were  starting  to  form  our  study  habits.  We 
returned  a  dance  to  the  seniors  in  February  which 
was  enjoyed  by  all. 

Every  major  has  its  own  club  to  create  and 
arouse  interest  and  on  April  1st  we  went  out  on 
placement  training. 


We  started  our  last  year  feeling  much  more 
familiar  with  Stockbridge  and  its  functions.  With 
more  and  more  responsibility  coming  our  way  and 
acquiring  the  knack  of  self  expression.  Our  class 
clubs  and  fraternities  again  began  to  roll  with  many 
new  faces  and  many  different  ideas.  The  election 
of  class  officers  was  held  and  elected  for  President 
was  Paul  McCarron;  Vice-President,  Gilbert  Gas- 
ton; Secretary,  Richard  Sawyer;  Treasurer,  Robert 
Hume. 

With  the  help  of  some  stout  hearted  freshmen 
our  sports  really  picked  up  with  a  greater  percentage 
of  wins.  After  many  eventful  affairs  such  as  the 
beautiful  Horticultural  Show,  the  colorful  tradi- 
tional Little  International  and  the  educational  value 
of .  the  -  Dairy  Classic  we  ended  our  studies  at 
Stockbridge.  Many  of  us  realized  that  commence- 
ment day  would  separate  us,  each  to  go  his  own 
way  but  all  knew  in  their  hearts  they  would  never 
forget  our  two  years  spent  at  the  Stockbridge 
School  of  Agriculture.

On  October  1,  1951,  the  Stockbridge  class  of 
1953  performed  its  first  duties  on  campus — regis- 
tration. By  the  end  of  that  memorable  first  week 
we  were  well  underway  with  our  studies. 

At  our  first  convocation  Director  Verbeck 
explained  to  us  the  customs  and  duties  of  Stock- 
bridge  students. 

Within  the  next  few  weeks  we  elected  as 
temporary  class  officers :  President :  Lewis  R.  Mason, 
Jr.;  Vice-President;  Joseph  A.  Freitas;  Secretary: 
Donald  A.  Dearden;  Treasurer:  Austin  T.  Smith. 

We  are  pleased  to  say  that  the  football  team 
had  an  excellent  season,  winning  four  out  of  five 
games.  The  team  received  considerable  support  from 
the  freshmen  members  which  should  help  to  have 
a  winning  team  next  season  also. 

The  track  team  did  well  this  season  and  also 
received  good  support  from  the  freshmen  with  one 
of  its  top  men  a  freshman. 


The  basketball  team  also  had  a  good  season 
with  several  freshmen  participating.  So  in  the  way 
of  sports  the  freshmen  seemed  to  hold  their  own 
very  well. 

After  a  lapse  of  a  year  the  Glee  Club  made 
a  comeback  with  the  presentation  of  the  annual 
Christmas  Concert  in  Bowker.  The  Glee  Club 
had  a  high  percentage  of  freshmen  vocalists. 

On  December  14th  the  Seniors  sponsored  a 
reception  for  the  freshmen  in  Memorial  Hall.  We 
returned  our  appreciation  with  a  Farewell  dance 
to  the   Seniors  on   February  29th. 

With  the  nearing  of  spring  we  all  realized 
that  our  second  semester  was  almost  over  and 
that  in  a  short  time  we  would  be  leaving  for  our 
summer's  work  at  placement  training.  So  we  bid 
the  seniors  farewell  and  set  about  our  way,  hoping 
to  return  next  fall  to  help  next  year's  freshmen  as 
the  seniors  aided  us  this  year.

The  Animal  Husbandry  Club  is  made  up  of 
Animal  Husbandry  students  from  both  the  Uni- 
versity and  the  Stockbridge  School  of  Agriculture. 
This  club,  due  to  the  interest  and  activity  of  its 
members,  has  the  distinction  of  being  the  largest 
club  on  campus. 

We  were  fortunate  this  year  in  being  able  to 
obtain  some  excellent  speakers  for  our  monthly 
meetings.  Mr.  MacFarlane  of  Boston  talked  on 
prevention  of  livestock  injuries.  Miss  Helen  Salu, 
4-H  Club  agent  for  Middlesex  County,  told  us 
about  4-H  Club  work  as  a  career.  Mr.  Ed  Pierce, 
field  man  for  the  M.S.B.A,,  showed  us  the  new 
film  called  "Selective  Breeding,"  and  gave  us  the 
background  behind  it.  Myron  Fuerst  told  us  about 
his  operations  at  Fuerst  Stock  Farms  in  Pine  Plains, 
New  York. 

As  the  "Shorthorn"  goes  to  press,  plans  are 
underway  for  the  Little  International  Livestock 
Show  being  held  March  22,  and  the  judging  con- 
test on  March  15.  This  show  is  sponsored  by  the 
Animal  Husbandry  Club  and  is  designed  to  give 
the  students-  an  opportunity  to  gain  knowledge 
and  experience  in  fitting  and  showing  livestock. 


This  spring  we  are  also  planning  on  our 
annual  barbeque  which  is .  held  on  the  College 
Farm. 

We  wish  to  thank  Murray  Eliott  for  his  able 
assistance  as  faculty  advisor  for  this  year.

The  twelfth  Annual  Little  International  Livestock  Show  was  held 
Saturday,  March  22,  at  Grinnell  Arena  with  approximately  1000  spectators 
viewing  the  day-long  program.  The  Show  his  year  took  on  added  significance 
for  it  was  dedicated  to  Herdsman  Bill  Smith,  who  has  spent  the  past  thirty- 
two  years  giving  all  those  interested  a  practical  background  in  the  care 
of  livestock. 

Judges  for  the  day  were  Professor  Donald  Kinsman  of  the  University 

of   Vermont,  Mr.   Donald   Grant,   Beef  Herdsman  and  Shepherd   at  the 

University  of  Connecticut,  and  Mr.L.  Frank  Clark,  Wirthmore  fieldman. 

After  the  decisions  of  the  day  were  completed,  the  winners  in  the 

four  classes  of  livestock  were  as  follows : 

Beef:  (1)  J.  Marshall,  (2)  L.  Peirce  (Miss),  (3)  A.  Perley 
Sheep:  (1)  R.  Nickles,  (2)  J.  Macomber,  (3)  W.  Deacon 
Horses:  (1)  K.  Alves,  (2)  M.  Richmond,  (3)  H.  Perry  (Miss) 
Swine:  (1)  A.  Gurwitz,  (2)  J.  Hobart  (Mrs.),  (3)  P.  Auclair 
In  the  Premier  Showmanship  Contest,  which  was  the  program's  finale, 
John  Marshall,  a  Stockbridge  senior,  was  chosen  Premier  Showman,  with 
reserve  honors  going  to  Kenneth  Alves,  a  University  junior. 

In  its  embryonic  stages,  the  Little  International  was  a  class  project 
carried  out  as  an  integral  part  of  the  livestock  production  course.  It  was 
not  until  1938  that  the  present-day  show  was  envisioned  by  Professor 
M.  E.  Ensminger,  now  head  of  the  Animal  Husbandry  Department  at 
Washington  State  College.  From  its  early  beginnings,  the  Little  Inter- 
national has  gradually  become  one  of  the  highlights  of  all  student  activities. 
In  the  show,  each  student  is  striving  to  become  Premier  Showman  and 
thereby  obtain  the  honor  of  having  his  or  her  name  engraved  on  the 
Ensminger  Trophy. 

Many  days  and  years  will  sHp  by  before  those  participating  in  the 
Little  International  Livestock  Show  will  forget  the  long  hours  of  prepara- 
tion, aching  backs,  strained  patience  and  exhilarating  tension  that  are  so 
much  a  part  of  being  an  entrant  in  the  Little  International  Livestock  Show.

"The  Rainmaker"  were  shown,  followed  by  talks 
by  Prof.  Jeffery,  Mr.  Spear  and  Prof.  Vondell  on 
the  purpose  of  the  Club.

The    Poultry    Science    Club    Christmas    Party

group  of  girls  from  the  University  helped  make 
the  party  a  success  by  showing  slides,  playing  games 
and  by  leading  the  group  in  singing  Christmas 
Carols. 

At  our  next  regular  meeting  we  were  honored 
to  have  Dr.  Sylstra  from  the  University  speak  to 
us.  He  spoke  on  "Today's  Poultry  Disease  Prob- 
lems."

The  Dairy  Club,  composed  of  students  from 
the  two  and  four  year  courses,  provides  a  social 
and  educational  pastime  for  its  members.  The 
Club  meets  twice  each  month  and  at  these  meet- 
ings prominent  men  from  the  industry  speak  on 
subjects  of  interest  to  the  members.  Refreshments 
and  a  bull  session  bring  the  meetings  to  a  close. 

Two  of  the  excellent  speakers  who  addressed 
the  Club  this  year  were  Kenneth  LeBeau,  sales 
representative  of  Mojonnier  Co.  in  New  England, 
who  spoke  on  "Bulk  Transportation,  from  Farm 
to  Dairy  by  Tank  Trucks"  and  Harold  P.  Robin- 
son,  a  member  of  the  United  States  Department  of 
Health,  whose  topic  was  "The  influence  of  the 
United  States  Department  of  Health  on  the  Dairy 
Industry. 

As  the  Shorthorn  goes  to  press,  the  Dairy 
Club  is  busy  making  preparations  for  the  Dairy 
Classic  which  will  be  held  in  May.  A  committee 
consisting  of  Bob  Bradey,  Leonard  Libbey,  Paul 
McCarran,  James  Dwyer,  John  Rider,  Walter  Hor- 
gan  and  Robert  Waters  has  been  appointed  and 
these  men  with  the  help  of  all  the  members  of  the 
Club  plan  to  make  this  year's  Classic  the  best  of 
all  times.  They  hope  it  will  be  outstanding  and  a 
goal  of  future  Classics. 

It  is  diiScult  to  say  how  much  knowledge  the 
students  will  carry  with  them  as  they  leave  the 
campus  and  go  out  into  the  world,  but  it  is  safe 
to  say  that  they  will  carry  with  them  the  fond 
memories  of  the  many  enjoyable  moments  spent 
with  their  friends  at  the  Dairy   Club. 

A  word  of  thanks,  again  this  year  to  Doctor 
Hankinson  who  was  always  willing  to  lend  a 
helping  hand  and  made  it  possible  for  the  Club 
to  hear  many  of  the  speakers.

FRESHMAN  HORTICULTURE 


ORNAMENTAL  HORTICULTURE  CLUR 


The  Ornamental  Horticulture  Club  is  made 
up  of  men  majoring  in  Ornamental  Horticulture 
within  the  Stockbridge  School  of  Agriculture.  The 
purpose  of  the  club  is  to  obtain  speakers  who 
emphasize  the  practical  aspects  of  the  field  and  in 
general,    broaden    the    students    education. 

Two  of  the  past  season's  speakers  were  Dr. 
Karl  Sax,  Director  of  the  Arnold  Arboretum,  and 
Charles  Godin,  alumnus  of  Stockbridge  class  of 
1934,  and  Vice-President  of  Adams  Nursery  of 
Westfield. 

Dr.  Sax  spoke  of  the  breeding  and  propaga- 
tion of  various  ornamental  plants.  His  work  has 
been  outstanding  in   the  field  of  Horticulture  and 


his  talk  to  the  students  was  interesting  and  informa- 
tive. Many  of  the  clubs  in  the  School  of  Agricul- 
ture and  Horticulture  whose  interests  are  similar, 
were  invited  to  hear  Dr.  Sax. 

Mr.  Godin  showed  movies  of  the  methods 
used  by  Adams  Nursery  in  raising  their  plants.  He 
emphasized  the  advantages  of  mechanical  equip- 
ment and  showed  how  it  can  be  adapted  to 
nursery  work. 

Other  meetings  consisted  of  short  business 
sessions  with  slides  or  movies  shown. 

The  club  had  a  very  enjoyable  year  under 
the  direction  of  their  able  officers  and  Assistant 
Professor  Paul  N.  Procopio.

The  39th  Annual  Horticultural  Show  opened 
on  Friday,  November  2,  1951  for  a  three  day  stand 
during  which  21,500  people  viewed  the  exhibits 
and  work  done  by  Stockbridge  and  University 
students. 

The  theme  of  the  show  was  World  Unity,  this 
being  carried  out  by  the  domineering  presence  of 
a  14  foot  globe  of  the  world  in  the  northwest 
corner  of  the  cage.  Running  from  there  to  the 
southeast  corner  where  the  Queen's  throne  and 
garden  were  located  were  two  rows  of  flags,  one 
flag  for  each  member  country  of  the  United  Nations. 
At  the   base   of   each  flagstaff  was  an  outstanding 


HORTICULTURE 


product  or  plant  of  that  country. 

Mary  Granfield  '52  was  elected  the  Flower 
Queen  and  presided  over  the  show  with  her  court 
of  two  princesses,  Jean  Stringer  '55  and  Fredrica 
Dole  '53. 

The  exhibits  included  a  United  Nations  Bakery, 
featuring  pastry  of  different  nations,  and  an  exhibit 
of  fruits  from  many  lands  by  the  pomology 
department. 

Much  credit  is  due  those  from  Stockbridge  and 
the  University  who  made  the  show  the  success  it 
was.  Stockbridge  was  well  represented  among  the 
winning  exhibits.

FORESTRY  CLUH 


The  Forestry  Club  consists  of  members  of  the 
University  Forestry  and  Wildlife  majors  and 
Stockbridge  Forestry  students.  This  Club  meets 
twice  a  month  for  the  purpose  of  creating  a  spirit 
of  cooperation  and  friendship  between  the  faculty 
and  students  and  to  provide  educational  and  enter- 
taining programs  dealing  with  the  forestry  industry. 

These  programs  consist  of  movies,  speakers 
and  discussions  which  ofFer  the  students  material 
not  available  in  their  regular  academic  courses. 
This  year  we  have  been  fortunate  in  securing  as 
speakers  men  from  the  U.  S.  Forest  Service,  pro- 
fessors from  other  schools  and  former  students 
who  are  now  in  the  field. 

We  are  very  thankful  to  our  advisors,  Wil- 
liam P.  MacConnell  and  R.  V.  Ganley,  for  their 
help  in  arranging  our  programs  and  making  the 
year's  activities  a  success.

ARBORICULTURE  CLUB 


The  Arboriculture  Club  serves  as  a  link  between 
the  two  classes,  alumni,  and  all  those  interested  in  arbori' 
culture.  By  having  speakers,  members  are  given  a  chance 
to  see  and  hear  new  and  different  ideas  on  arboriculture. 

This  year  we  have  heard  Mr.  Coffin  of  the  Shade 
Tree  Laboratories,  Mr.  Mathieu,  a  Stockbridge  graduate, 
and  attended  the  monthly  meetings  of  the  Massachusetts 
Tree  Wardens'  Association. 

All  the  work  done  by  the  Arboriculture  students 
in  the  Hort  Show  is  prepared  at  Club  meetings.  Club 
members  draw  up  plans  and  committees  are  appointed. 

One  of  the  year's  highlights  is  the  annual  contest 
between  classes.  Events  in  rope  climbing  and  throwing, 
shinnying,  tree  climbing,  wood  chopping,  and  cross-cut 
sawing  are  held.  Competition  is  high  and  the  winning 
class  has  its  year  engraved  on  a  plaque  in  French  Hall. 


Field  trips  to  municipal  tree  departments,  equip- 
ment  companies,  and  meetings  of  tree  men  are  taken  by 
both  classes.  This  year  we  attended  the  meetings  of  the 
Western  Massachusetts  Tree  Wardens'  Association  in 
Pittsfield,  and  the  Annual  Convention  of  the  Massachu- 
setts Tree  Wardens'  and  Foresters'  Association  in  Boston. 

To  Mr.  King,  our  Faculty  Advisor,  for  all  his 
interest  and  advice,  go  our  thanks  for  a  successful 
program.

Membership  in  this  Club  is  open  to  any  stu- 
dent in  the  Stockbridge  School  and  the  University 
who  is  interested  in  the  subject  of  Floriculture. 
Meetings  are  held  monthly  with  occasional  special 
meetings   arranged   for   out-of-town  speakers. 

Professor  Alfred  W.  Boicourt  of  the  Extension 
Service  was  the  speaker  at  our  first  meeting.  He 
described  his  project  dealing  with  community  im- 
provement in  Stow  Village  by  landscaping  public 
and  private  grounds.  At  the  November  meeting  a 
check  for  the  money  received  at  the  Wishing  Well 
at  the  Horticultural  Show  was  presented  to  Pro- 
fessor Alfred  A.  Brown,  Treasurer  of  the  War 
Memorial  Building  Fund  Committee.  James  Rum- 
rill,  S.S.A.  '52,  gave  an  illustrated  talk  on  his  trip 
to  Florida  taken  before  he  started  in  placement 
training. 

In  December  a  combined  meeting  of  all  horti- 
cultural clubs  was  held  in  Goessmann  Auditorium 
at  which  were  shown  numerous  Kodachrome  slides 
of  scenes  in  the  Horticultural  Show.  Plans  for 
the  formation  of  a  Student  Horticultural  Council 
were  proposed  at  this  meeting.  Also,  in  December 
we  met  with  the  Horticultural  Club  for  a  lecture 
by  Dr.  Karl  Sax  of  the  Arnold  Arboretum.  Dr. 
Sax  described  his  breeding  work  with  ornamental 
plants  and  also  discussed  unusual  methods  of  plant 
propagation  in  use  at  the  Arboretum. 

The  Holyoke  and  Northampton  Florists'  and 
Gardners'  Club  held  its  annual  Carnation  Night 
in  conjunction  with  our  February  meeting.  Student, 
members  of  the  Club  judged  the  competitive  carna- 
tion exhibits.  J.  T.  Whittemore,  Jr.  '54,  gave  a 
report  on  the  exhibition  and  meeting  of  the  Ameri- 
can   Carnation    Society    in    New   York   City.    On 


February  14,  our  Club  and  several  others  combined 
for  a  meeting  sponsored  by  the  Olericulture  Club; 
the  speaker,  Mr.  J.  Duncan  Rankin  of  the  E.  I. 
DuPont  de  Nemours  Company  discussed  the  sub- 
ject of  prepackaging  and  marketing  horticultural 
produce. 

Plans  are  being  made  for  the  remaining 
months  with  the  hope  that  a  picnic  for  all  horti- 
cultural clubs  will  be  the  final  event  of  the 
club  year.

The  Pomology  Club  is  composed  of  University  and  Stockbridge  students 
majoring  in  Pomology.  It  holds  its  own  monthly  meetings  for  which  were  engaged 
speakers  affiliated  in  some  phase  of  the  pomology  field. 

The  club  this  year  held  a  record-dance  and  fun  was  had  by  all.  The  club  is 
also  planning  to  hold  a  banquet  for  the  coming  spring. 

In  preparation  for  the  Horticultural  Show,  the  Club  decided  to  present  to  the 
public  the  place  of  origin  of  various  species  of  apples,  pears,  grapes,  and  plums,  with 
a  map  of  the  world  as  a  background. 

Although  the  Club  had  a  small  enrollment  this  fact  was  annulled  by  the  strong 
club  spirit  and  backing  of  the  faculty.

The  Olericulture  Club  is  made  up  of  Uni- 
versity and  Stockbridge  students.  The  club  has 
twentyfive  active  members  including  students  and 
faculty.  It  schedules  monthly  meetings  open  to  the 
public  as  well  as  club  members. 

The  club  fall  organization  meeting  was  held 
at  the  top  of  Mount  Sugarloaf  as  a  picnic  and 
business  session.  A  few  of  the  highlighted  speakers 
for  the  1951-1952  season  have  been  Mr.  E.  K.  Wal- 
rath  of  the  Eastern  States  Cooperative  who  spoke 
on  "Soil  Testing  and  Fertilizing  Practice,"  and 
Professor  Grant  B.  Snyder,  head  of  the  Department 
of    Olericulture,    who    gave    an    excellent    talk    on 


hail,  hail  insurance,  and  hail  injury  to  plants. 

One  of  the  seasons  largest  meetings  was  in 
cooperation  with  the  Food  Technology,  Floricul- 
ture, Home  Economics,  Pomology,  and  Poultry 
Clubs.  The  featured  speaker  was  Mr.  Duncan 
Rankin  of  the  DuPont  Company.  Mr.  Rankin 
spoke  on  "Plastic  Films  and  Factors  Related  to 
the  Packaging  of  Produce,"  a  subject  which  is 
rapidly  becoming  of  great  importance  to  the  pro- 
ducer, wholesaler,   retailer  and  consumer. 

Another  added  feature  of  the  club  is  the 
refreshments  served  at  the  end  of  each  meeting  and 
the  banquet  held  at  the  end  of  the  season.

FRESHMAN  RECEPTION  DANCE 


The  Stockbridge  freshmen  were  entertained  by  the  Stockbridge 
seniors  at  the  Freshmen  Reception  Dance  held  in  Memorial  Hall  on 
the  night  of  December  8. 

The  dance  was  made  a  great  success  thru  the  efforts  of  our 
class  president,  Paul  McCarran,  and  a  group  of  volunteers  from  the 
senior  class,  It  was  through  their  efforts  that  the  iine  music  of  Allan 
Bond  and  his  orchestra  was  secured  for  the  dance.  The  orchestra 
started  playing  about  8  o'clock  and  most  of  the  couples  had  arrived 
by  9:30  to  find  the  hall  gayly  decorated  for  an  enjoyable  evening. 
Refreshments  were  served  by  the  refreshment  committee. 

Professors  Paul  Procopio  and  W.  Bradford  Johnson  and  wives 
served  as  chaperones  with  Dean  and  Mrs.  Dale  Seiling  and  Director 
and  Mrs.  Roland  Verbeck  as  invited  guests. 

Dancing  continued  until  midnight,  the  hour  which  brought  to 
a  close  a  very  enjoyable  and  memorable  dance.

SENIOR  RECEPTION  DANCE 


On  the  night  of  February  29,  1952,  a  reception  for  the  seniors 
was  given  by  the  Freshman  class. 

Allan  Bond  and  his  orchestra  supplied  the  music  for  dancing 
in  Memorial  Hall,  which  was  colorfully  decorated  with  the  school 
colors  of  Blue  and  White. 

It  was  a  semi-formal  affair,  with  a  large  number  of  couples 
attending.  This  was  one  of  the  biggest  social  events  of  the  year  put 
on  by  the  Freshman  class. 

The  chaperones  for  the  dance  were  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Stephen 
Kosakowski,  who  also  enjoyed  the  evening  to  the  fullest  extent. 

During  intermission,  soft  drinks,  ice  cream  and  cookies  were 
served  for  refreshments.  This  was  handled  by  Jim  Crowley,  who  did 
a  splendid  job. 

With  all  the  comforts  for  ball  room  dancing,  the  affair  ended  as 
a  great  success.

The  Student  Council  has  carried  on  this  past  year  in  its  usual  efficient  manner 
in  striving  to  maintain  the  high  standards  already  set  by  previous  councils  and  by  the 
Stockbridge  School  itself. 

The  council  members,  through  their  fine  cooperation  and  school  spirit,  have 
given  nothing  but  their  best  in  discussing  the  various  problems  which  have  arisen 
during  the  year. 

Some  of  the  more  important  problems  discussed  consisted  of  the  following:  the 
establishing  of  an  Infirmary  Committee,  whose  job  it  is  to  check  on  Stockbridge  School 
students  confined  to  the  infirmary;  the  matter  of  the  freshmen  of  the  coming  years 
to  wear  beanies  during  the  first  few  weeks  of  school  in  the  hopes  of  building  a  stronger 
school  spirit;  an  amendment  to  the  constitution  which  now  permits  girls  to  hold  any 
class  office  except  those  of  President  and  Vice-President;  and  many  other  important 
matters. 

Ed.  7<lote:  In  the  light  of  the  many  functions  it  has  carried  on  this  year  and 
by  virtue  of  the  great  service  rendered  to  the  student  body,  the  Student  Council 
certainly  deserves  a  "well-done"  and  the  sincere  than\s  of  the  school.

The  idea  of  the  Stockbridge  Glee  Club  is  to 
gives  interested  students  a  chance  to  participate  in 
organized  glee  club  work. 

After  a  year  of  inactivity  the  Glee  Club 
became  reorganized.  Under  the  able  direction  of 
James  Chapman,  U.  M.  class  of  1953,  a  very 
enjoyable  and  successful  season  was  had  by  all 
the  members. 

The  first  appearance  of  the  Glee  Club  was 
made  at  the  Stockbridge  Christmas  Convocation. 
Christmas  selections  were  sung  with  solos  by  Donald 
Davenport  and  Charles  Dinsmore.  The  program 
was  concluded  by  the  student  body  singing  carols. 

The  club  made  its  second  appearance  at  a 
February  convocation.  This  time  the  program  had 
the  singing  centered  around  a  college  town  tavern, 
the  singing  was  done  by  the  patrons  of  the  tavern

WINTER 
CARNIVAL 


Winter  Carnival  began  on  Saturday  the  9th  of 
February  with  a  Kiddies'  Party  at  Memorial  Hall, 
which  was  followed  in  the  evening  with  a  Float 
Parade  featuring  the  candidates  for  Winter  Garni' 
val  Queen.  The  candidates  were:  Barbara  Brown, 
Sue  Brosseau,  Sue  Moynahan,  Jackie  McCarthy, 
and  Ginny  Stewart. 

By  no  means  an  easy  task,  the  Winter  Carni- 
val Queen,  Sue  Moynahan,  was  selected  the  next 
day  by  a  board  of  photographers  from  Boston  and 
Springfield  newspapers. 

Most  of  the  athletic  festivities  were  at  a  mini- 
mum due  to  the  lack  of  snow,  including  the  snow 
sculptures,  which  had  to  be  postponed  until  old 
man  snow  could  make  his  appearance. 

Highlight  of  Winter  Carnival  Week  was  the 
Snow  Man  Ball,  which  was  held  in  the  Cage. 
Music  was  furnished  by  Boyd  Raeburn,  with  Ginnie 
Powell  as  songstress.  President  Van  Meter  pre- 
sented Queen  Moynahan  and  her  court  of  princesses 
with  gifts  symbolic  of  their  reign. 

House  dances  were  held  at  A  T  G  and  K  K 
on  the  following  evening  as  well  as  all  other  campus 
fraternities. 

Winter  Carnival  Week  came  to  a  close  on 
Sunday  the  17th  with  a  swimming  exhibition  by 
the  Naiads  in  the  college  pool.

An  educational  program  demonstrating  vari- 
ous methods  of  manufacturing  dairy  products  was 
featured  at  the  fourth  annual  Dairy  Classic.  Held 
each  year  in  early  May  under  the  sponsorship  of 
the  Dairy  Club,  this  show  is  student  organized  and 
operated.  All  four  year  and  Stockbridge  students 
evincing  interest  in  the  various  phases  of  dairy 
industry,   voluntarily  conduct  the  show. 

Supervised  by  a  faculty  member,  this  show  has 
grown  from  an  attendance  of  400  in  1948  to  over 
2,500  in  1951.  At  the  same  time  the  number  and 
quahty  of  the  display  exhibits  have  improved 
markedly.  Starting  with  relatively  few  participants 
in  the  early  shows,  we  now  have  30  students  vicing 
for  the  trophies  and  prizes  which  have  been  made 
available  by  dairy  plants  and  equipment  people, 
to  whom  the  students  and  school  are  deeply  grateful. 

The  main  theme  this  year  was  the  controversial 
subject — concentrated  milk.  The  consumer  view 
point    was    stressed    and    practically    every    person 


compared  concentrated,  reconstituted  and  normal 
whole  milk  samples  in  terms  of  his  or  her  particular 
evaluation. 

The  secondary  themes  consisted  of  the  fol- 
owin^ 

What  is  yoglunt?  How  is  it  made  and  will  it 
be  an  acceptable  consumer  product? 

Antibiotics  employed  in  mastitis  control  pro- 
cedures— are  they  a  future  problem  for  the  dairy 
industry? 

What  is  Vitamin  D  milk,  how  is  it  checked 
for  vitamin  content? 

Detergent-sanitizers,  wetting  agents,  water 
softeners,  detergents,  quaternary  ammonium  com- 
pounds— what  are  they? 

In  addition  there  were  displays  concerning: 
milking  machines  and  their  proper  operation;  farm 
coolers  and  their  operational  features;  dairy  farm 
sanitation;  cheese  and  cheese  products;  ice  cream 
products;  and  dairy  plant  equipment  and  its  proper 
operation. 

The  primary  function  of  the  show  is  two- 
fold: consumer  education  and  student  training  in 
salesmanship.  But  the  fellows  who  were  in  the 
show,  will  always  remember  it  as  work,  work  and 
more  work.

You  are  graduating  at  a  time  when  there  is 
a  good  demand,  in  fact  a  shortage  of  trained  young 
men  and  women  in  your  chosen  fields.  You  should 
have  little  difficulty  in  finding  satisfactory  employ- 
ment and  this  office  will  he  happy  to  be  of  all  the 
assistance  possible  now  or  in  the  future. 

Permit  me  to  close  by  preaching  a  little.  Don't 
expect  too  much  too  soon,  and  remember  that  you 
get  out  of  life  what  you  put  into  it.  The  age  old 
law  that  a  man  gets  what  he  earns  has  not  been 
repealed.  And  remember  also  that  there  is  a  spot 
where  all  of  us  can  be  happy  no  matter  how 
lowly  or  how  high,  if  we  do  the  best  we  can  at 
whatever  we  are  doing.

WOMEN'S 
PLACEMENT 


Not  long  ago  I  happened  to  pick  up  a  note- 
book belonging  to  a  successful  Stockbridge  graduate. 
I  glanced  through  it  and  was  amazed.  I  had  ex- 
pected to  find  a  jumble  of  rough  notes.  Instead 
I  found  a  wealth  of  dates,  carefully  arranged  in 
logical  sequence  in  note  form  and  presenting  inter- 
esting reading  as  well  as  useful  information.  The 
notebook,  prepared  some  years  ago  in  class,  had 
been  kept  up  to  date  ever  since. 

While  a  notebook  in  itself  can  never  be  the 
key  to  success,  I  now  realize  that  sometimes  it  is 
one  reason  why  a  Stockbridge  graduate  succeeds, 
while  another  does  not.  In  your  two  years  on  the 
campus  you  have  taken  courses  of  study  from 
authorities  in  your  chosen  field.  In  preparing  these 
courses  your  instructors  have  combined  their  experi- 
ence and  knowledge  with  selected  data  from  many 
texts.  You  have  received  the  benefit  of  this  com- 
bination, and  one  of  the  most  readily  available 
assets  you  now  have  is  your  notebook.  Seldom  will 
you  find  the  answers  to  your  life's  problems  in  it, 
but  frequently  a  clue  will  be  there. 

Do  not  let  me  create  the  impression  that  your 
notebook  is  all  that  you  got  from  your  course. 
More  important,  by  far,  than  this  is  the  influence 
exerted  on  you  through  the  personalities  of  your 
instructors,    and   their   influence    on   you    is   much 


greater  than  you  now  realize. 

Although  you  are  leaving  the  immediate  in- 
fluence of  these  men  and  women,  your  education  is 
by  no  means  at  an  end.  You  have  much  to  learn 
through  experience.  But  don't  wait  for  experience 
to  find  you.  Make  yourself  known  to  other  Stock- 
bridge  graduates  in  your  community  and  gain  the 
benefit  of  their  experience.  Observe  the  work  of 
others  including  both  your  colleagues  and  business 
rivals.  Keep  in  touch  with  the  University  of  Mas- 
sachusetts. In  short,  keep  studying  and  reading 
everything  that  pertains  to  your  field. 

To  compile  the  information  and  knowledge 
you  receive,  continue  to  add  to  your  notebook. 
If  you  decide  to  do  nothing  else  to  it,  at  least  keep. 
an  up-to-date  list  of  professional  organizations, 
corporations  and  articles  in  trade  journals  asso- 
ciated with  your  work. 

A  biographical  article  written  about  one  of 
our  Stockbridge  girls  in  a  recent  number  of  The 
'H.ew  Tor\er  magazine  showed  how  this  young 
lady  had  used  the  knowledge  gained  at  school, 
added  to  it  year  by  year,  and  in  a  relatively  short 
time  became  the  leading  authority  in  her  field.  A 
success  story  like  this  can  be  repeated.

*1  man  returned  from  a  former  class. 


In  view  of  the  fact  that  there  were  but  3 
seniors  in  Food  Management  the  course  for  the 
second  year  was  discontinued  temporarily.  These 
men  withdrew  and  plan  to  return  to  complete  the 
second  year  next  fall. 

After  college  opened  it  developed  that  there 
were  quite  a  number  of  withdrawals  that  were 
entirely  unexpected.  The  students  had  completed 
the  placement  requirement  and  had  said  nothing 
about  not  returning  for  the  senior  year.  The  num- 
ber of  withdrawals  was  in  excess  of  any  previous 
year  and  is  largely  attributable  to  the  war  situation, 
draft  and  enlistments. 

Reasons  for  the  withdrawals 

Draft  and  enlistment    14 

Lack  of  interest  and  aptitude    7 

Lack  of  finances    6

I  feel  confident  that  some  of  the  five  listed  as 
unknown  are  in  the  military  forces,  but  failed  to 
answer  our  inquiries. 

The  reasons  for  withdrawal  given  by  students 
as  listed  above — lack  of  interest  and  aptitude  7, 
change  to  different  major  3,  enter  other  school  or 
college  3,  defense  plant  1,  failure  in  placement  2, 
16  in  all  are  very  indicative  to  me  of  one  of  the 
large  values  of  required  Placement  Training,  in  that 
it  gives  the  student  a  real  opportunity  to  judge 
whether  or  not  he  has  chosen  the  right  vocation, 
and  that  is  most  important.  No  one  will  make  a 
real  success  of,  and  be  happy  in  work  for  which 
he  has  no  real  interest  and  aptitude.  It  is  too  bad 
these  men  could  not  have  found  out  this  fact 
sooner  by  some  other  method  because  it  cost  them 
a  year  in  time  and  considerable  money.  Young 
people  do  not  always  put  enough  real  thought  into 
choosing  a  vocation.  It  would  have  been  desir- 
able for  these  men  to  have  worked  at  the  various 
occupations  before  going  to  school,  they  should 
have  read  more  about  the  field  and  talked  with 
men  already  in  the  type  of  work  they  were  thinking 
of  pursuing.  We  learn  by  experience  but  seldom 
by  the  experience  of  others.  Lowell  said,  "One 
thorn  of  experience  is  worth  a  whole  wilderness 
of  warnings."

OPPORTUNITY 


For  most  young  men  it  is  much  more  difficult 
to  get  started  in  farming  today  than  it  was  50 
years  ago.  This  is  due  to  the  large  amount  of 
capital  necessary  to  purchase  real  estate,  livestock 
and  equipment.  Graduates  of  the  Stockbridge 
School  of  Agriculture  and  the  University  of  Mas- 
sachusetts have  a  very  unusual  opportunity  to 
borrow  money  without  interest  for  the  purpose  of 
getting  started  in  the  type  of  farming  of  their 
choice.  This  has  been  made  possible  by  what  is 
known  as  the  "Lotta  Agricultural  Fund." 

How  did  this  fund  originate?  Who  was  the 
donor?  Why  are  graduates  of  the  School  and  the 
University  the  recipients  of  such  generosity? 

In  order  to  answer  these  questions  it  is  neces' 
sary  to  go  back  more  than  100  years  when  in  1847 
Charlotte  Mignon  Crabtree  was  born  in  New  York 
City.  Better  known  as  Lotta  Crabtree,  she  became 
one  of  the  most  famous  American  actresses  of 
her  time. 

Lotta  was  still  an  infant  when  her  father, 
John  Crabtree  shut  his  book  shop  on  Nassau 
Street  in  1852  and  joined  the  excited  throng 
going  west  to  the  gold  fields  of  California,  leaving 
a  vague  promise  of  meeting  his  wife  and  daughter 
in  San  Francisco  the  following  year.  He,  like  many 
others,  hoped  to  soon  become  a  millionaire.  Yet  it 
was  Lotta,  not  her  father,  who  was  destined  to 
reap  a  harvest  of  gold  in  California — and  not  by 
digging  for  it. 

Mrs.  Crabtree  and  her  daughter  Lotta  arrived 
in  San  Francisco  about  a  year  later  and  John 
Crabtree  was  not  immediately  found.  If  the  mother 
and  daughter  were  to  continue  eating  it  was  neces- 
sary that  Mrs.  Crabtree  earn  some  money  at  once. 
With  some  misgivings  she  decided  to  make  profit- 
able use  of  Lotta's  precocious  talents  for  dancing 
and  singing.  Accordingly,  Lotta  was  started  on  the 
stage  at  the  age  of  seven  to  provide  entertainment 
for  the  miners.  This  was  the  beginning  of  a  long 
and  very  successful  financial  career  as  an  actress. 

Lotta  Crabtree  died  in  Boston  in  1924  at  the 


Lotta  Crabtree 

age  of  77.  She  left  an  estate  of  about  four  million 
dollars  according  to  an  article  in  the  March  1948 
issue  of  Coronet.  This  fortune  was  left  to  charity. 
One  section  of  her  will  set  up  a  permanent  fund 
to  help  graduates  of  Massachusetts  Agricultural 
College  get  started  in  farming  and  this  money  to 
be  loaned  without  interest. 

How  this  is  working  out  for  graduates  ot 
this  institution  is  best  shown  from  the  annual 
report  of  Professor  F.  H.  Branch  who  investigated 
24  applications  for  loans  durmg  the  period  Novem- 
ber 1,  1950  to  October  31,  1951.  Nine  of  these 
applications  were  graduates  of  the  University  and 
15  from  graduates  of  the  Stockbridge  School.  The 
total  amount  requested  in  the  24  applications  was 
$160,400.  The  individual  amounts  ranged  from 
$1200  to  $10,000.  For  various  reasons  all  24 
requests  were  not  granted,  however,  15  requests 
were  granted  for  the  amount  of  $88,900. 

While  it  is  true  that  it  is  difficult  to  get 
started  in  farming  today,  graduates  of  the  Stock- 
bridge  School  and  the  University  have  a  golden 
opportunity  to  borrow  money  without  interest 
for  this  purpose.

iiemoriam 


Charles  N.  DuBois 


In  Memoriam 

When  Charlie  DuBois  first  came  to  Amherst  Director  Verbeck  asked  him 
how  recently  he  had  milked  a  cow. 

"Last  night,"  he  answered,  "Seven." 

For  his  work  on  our  campus  he  had  a  very  unusual  preparation.  He  had  a 
liberal  arts  training  and  did  his  graduate  work,  for  the  most  part,  on  a  fellowship 
at  the  University  of  London.  But  he  was  also  a  business  college  graduate  and  had  had 
actual  experience  in  secretarial  work.  He  was  born  and  brought  up  on  a  Vermont 
farm.  And  he  had  taught.  It  was  obvious  that  he  was  peculiarly  fitted  to  assume 
charge  of  our  Stockbridge  School  business  English. 

He  was  also  qualified  to  handle  four-year  work  and  Httle  by  little,  as  he  was 
able  to  delegate  Stockbridge  teaching  to  other  instructors,  he  increased  his  own  four- 
year  program.  His  course  in  American  poetry  has  been  one  of  the  most  popular  on 
the  campus. 

But  he  also  had  a  natural  gift  for  administrative  work.  He  carried  the  load 
of  sectioning  fifteen  hundred  freshmen  and  sophomores  into  nearly  seventy  sections 
in  schedules  involving  all  kinds  of  conflicts.  He  was  adviser  for  the  college  yearbook. 
The  Index.  He  set  up  and  for  a  while  maintained  the  new  campus  calendar,  in  an 
effort  to  clear  dates  and  rooms  for  our  many  student  and  faculty  activities.  And  he 
had  just  been  appointed,  on  part-time,  director  of  University  Extension. 

He  never,  however,  lost  interest  in  and  contact  with  the  Stockbridge  men. 
Always  he  taught  one  section  of  them.  He  helped  them  with  their  campus  news 
service.  He  like  them,  understood  them,  defended  them.  He  was  their  friend. 

His  untimely  death  leaves  not  one  gap  to  fill,  but  many.  But  the  greatest  one 
is  that  in  the  hearts  of  us  who  knew  him.

CROSS  COUNTRY 


This  year  saw  the  birth  of  a  new  team  at  Stockbridge  —  the  cross  country 
squad.  Almost  all  the  boys  were  new  at  the  sport,  which  offers  some  explanation  of 
the  rather  dismal  record.  The  season  opened  with  a  loss  to  the  Amherst  Varsity 
over  their  rugged  41/2  mile  course,  which  was  followed  by  another  loss  to  the  Amherst 
Fresh  over  a  course  which  was  1  mile  shorter. 

During  the  ensuing  two  weeks,  Stockbridge  ran  two  practice  meets  with  a 
mixed  team  composed  of  the  University  Frosh  and  Jr.  Varsity  and,  though  no 
times  were  kept,  the  boys  were  on  the  short  end  of  the  score. 

The  following  week  they  traveled  to  Mount  Hermon  to  run  against  their 
Varsity  team  which  had  won  the  N.  E.  Prep  School  Championships  the  week  before. 
Needless  to  say,  Mount  Hermon  won,  but  by  their  own  admission  Stockbridge  was 
the  toughest  team  they  had  ever  faced. 

After  a  10  day  layoff  Deerfield  Academy  was  next  on  the  agenda.  Stock- 
bridge  put  their  best  foot  forward,  and  also  the  fastest,  to  beat  Deerfield  handily 
over  our  31/2  rnile  home  course.  After  the  meet,  Lee  Chisholm  was  elected  Captain 
for  next  year. 

Letter  winners  were:  Lee  Chisholm,  Charles  Graves,  Robert  Nugent  and 
Edgar  Webber,  Manager.

Stockbridge  completed  a  most  successful  sea- 
son. Though  the  team  was  limited  to  short  practice 
sessions,  averaging  aix)Ut  one  half  an  hour  a  night, 
they  were  still  able  to  sport  a  four  and  one  record. 
With  only  four  letter  men  returning  from  last 
year's  team,  Coach  Steve  Kosakowski  had  a  major 
rebuilding  job  to  do.  He  attributes  the  team's 
success  to  the  fine  spirit  and  the  desire  of  the  boys 
to  play  the  game.  Many  of  the  boys  never  played 
football  but  what  they  lacked  in  knowledge  of 
the   game  they   made   up   in  intestinal   fortitude. 

Stockbridge  opened  the  season  with  a  14-7 
win  over  Vermont  Academy,  they  took  Suffield 
Academy  6-0.  The  following  week  they  defeated 
Leicester  Junior  College  27-0. 

A  week's  layoff  because  of  a  postponed  game 
with  Monson  put  Stockbridge  up  against  Williston 
Academy  on  a  day  on  which  they  played  their 
poorest  game  of  the  season.  Williston  took  advantage 
of  every  break  and  ended  up  on  the  long  end  of  a 
25-12  score.  Two  days  later  the  boys  wound  up 
the  season  with  a  27-0  win  over  Monson. 


STOCKBRIDGE 

FOOTBALL 

TEAM 


Paced  by  Co-Captains  Joe  Hayden  and  Jack 
Marshall  and  returning  lettermen  Forrest  Saunders, 
Howie  Clark,  and  Bob  White,  who  just  returned 
from  action  in  Korea;  Stockbridge  posted  a  mediocre 
5  and  7  record.  Lack  of  depth  continually  pre- 
sented itself  as  the  main  problem  throughout  the 
entire  season.  However,  that  department  will  be 
well  taken  care  of  as  a  goodly  number  of  freshmen 
letter   winners   are  expected   back   next  season. 


BASKETBALL 


Freshman  Moe  LaVallee  was  high  man  for  the 
season  closely  followed  by  Bob  White. 

The  boys  displayed  a  marvelous  team  spirit 
and  a  fighting  will  to  win  which  was  certainly  more 
than  the  record  indicates.

"PDF"  BARRETT'S 
MESSAGE 


What  would  you  do  if  you  suddenly 
found  yourself  the  possessor  of  one  million 
dollars? 

Would  you  keep  on  doing  the  things 
you  are  now  doing?  Or  would  you  change  the 
whole    course    of    your    future    life?    Would 
you    travel?    Would    you    buy    a    farm    and 
operate  it   for  pleasure  instead  of  for  profit? 
Or  would  you  use  part  of  it  to  gamble  on 
horse  races?  Perhaps  you  would  be  so  flabber- 
gasted  that  it   would   take  considerable  time 
for  you  to  decide  just  what  you  would  do. 
Without  any  attempt  at  conducting  a 
Gallup  Poll  on  the  subject  I  put  the  question 
to  faculty  members,  secretaries  and  students, 
a  grand  total  of  20  people.  A  great  variety 
of  answers  were  given.  Many  of  the  students 
would  buy  a  farm  and  various  luxuries  to  go 
along  with  it.   While  others  would  invest  it 
in    different    kinds   of   securities   and   live  off 
the  income.   Setting  up  an  endowment  for  the  family  and  giving  to  charity  were 
also  mentioned. 

"I  would  take  an  aspirin  to  revive  me,"  one  person  replied,  while  another 
said,  "I  would  probably  drop  dead."  Two  people  out  of  the  20  said  that  they  would 
keep  right  on  doing  the  same  thing  as  at  present,  while  one  even  went  so  far  as  to 
say,  "I  would  not  want  it,  too  much  responsibility."  One  individual  said,  "I  would 
go  out  on  a  toot,"  which  reminded  me  of  the  story  of  the  Prodigal  Son. 

While  I  am  not  sure  just  what  I  would  do  I  am  more  sure  of  what  I  would 
not  do.  I  would  not  give  up  my  present  position  and  try  to  find  happiness  elsewhere 
for  I  have  found  teaching  and  associations  with  young  people  very  satisfying  and 
very  stimulating.  This  has  given  me  happiness  that  I  could  not  buy  with  a  million 
dollars. 

Perhaps  my  own  thoughts  in  the  matter  are  best  expressed  by  the  concluding 
lines  of  Robert  Frosts',  "Two  Tramps  in  Mud  Time," 

My  object  in  living  is  to  unite 

My  avocation  and  my  vocation 

As  my  two  eyes  make  one  in  sight. 

Only  where  love  and  need  are  one, 

And  the  work  is  play  for  mortal  stakes, 

Is  the  deed  ever  really  done 

For  Heaven  and  the  future's  sakes.

The  1952  Shorthorn  Board,  though  smaller  than  those  in  years  past,  represents 
the  nucleus  around  which  this  book  has  been  formed. 

The  board  itself  is  made  up  entirely  of  volunteer  members  who  give  freely 
and  sometimes  extensively  of  their  time  so  that  we  might  have  a  book  of  which 
we  can  be  proud. 

Meetings  were  begun  in  December  and  every  Monday  night  found  the  group 
wrestling  with  various  problems,  often  with  several  conflicting  opinions  existing.  Meet- 
ings were  promptly  adjourned  at  9  P.M.,  if  they  lasted  the  full  hour,  even  if  business 
was  not  completed,  so  that  studies  would  not  be  interfered  with. 

Through  our  cooperative  efforts,  allied  with  those  of  Mr.  Kelton  Bush  fox 
the  publisher,  we  have  created  a  book  which  we  hope  will  be  appreciated  and 
treasured  for  years  to  come. 

As  the  finish  of  this  book  and  also  of  our  school  career  approaches,  we 
Shorthorn  Board  members  would  like  to  extend  a  word  of  thanks  to  those  who  have 
helped  us,  convey  our  best  wishes  to  our  classmates,  and  leave  in  trust  to  those  who 
follow  us  to  carry  on  with  pride  the  name  of  Stockbridge  School.

SHDHTHDRN  BOARD 


KAPPA 


The  first  function  held  by  Kappa  Kappa  was 
a  smoker  to  welcome  the  freshmen  on  Wednesday, 
October  10th.  Movies  were  shown  and  refresh- 
ments were  served.  Another  smoker  for  the  fresh- 
men  was  held  Wednesday,  October  17th. 

The  first  dance  of  the  year  was  held  Novem- 
ber  17.  It  was  a  square  and  round  dance  preceeded 
by  a  hay-ride.  The  square  dances  were  called  by 
Dudley  Laufman.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Murray  Eliott 
were  the  chaperones. 

A  new  inlaid  linoleum  floor  was  laid  the 
week  before  the  "Winter  Carnival."  Kappa  Kappa 
held  open  house  Saturday  night,  February  16th, 
the  night  after  the  "Winter  Carnival  Ball."  There 
was  dancing  to  records,  and  a  buffet  lunch  was 
served.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Geoffrey  Cornish  were 
present  as  chaperones. 


KAPPA 


Because  of  the  absence  of  snow,  the  snow 
scupltures  were  not  constructed  until  the  week 
after  the  "Carnival  Ball."  Kappa  Kappa's  sculpture 
was  built  in  two  scenes,  one  depicting  a  wounded 
American  soldier  receiving  blood  plasma  on  the 
battlefield  in  Korea.  The  other  scene  showed  a  man 
lying  on  a  cot  in  a  blood  bank  giving  his  blood. 
The  theme  of  the  sculpture  was  "Give  Blood  to 
the  Red  Cross." 

Kappa  Kappa  held  its  annual  banquet 
Thursday  night,  February  28th,  at  the  Hatfield 
Club.  Sirloin  steak  was  enjoyed  by  everybody 
present.

ALPHA  TAU 

GAMMA 


The  fall  of  1951  marked  the  beginning  of 
a  very  successful  year  for  the  members  of  Alpha 
Tau  Gamma. 

On  November  third,  about  50  Freshmen  at- 
tended the  smoker  and  watched  some  exciting 
movies  shown  by  "Pop"  Barrett. 

The  first  dance  of  the  season,  "A  Record 
Hop"  was  held  on  November  ninth.  It  was  well 
attended,  and  showed  that  the  boys  were  working 
hard  to  make  a  success  of  the  house's  social 
activities. 

During  the  first  week  of  December,  the  new 
Freshmen  and  Senior  members  were  initiated.  This 
year,  a  new  approach  was  made  toward  the  so 
called  informal  initiation.  It  was  based  on  con- 
struction rather  than  destruction.  The  boys  did  a 
marvelous  job  of  cleaning  up  and  redecorating  the 
house.  Another  addition  was  the  reshingling  of  the 
outside  walls  with  asbestos  shingles. 

An  open  dance  was  held  on  November  30th. 

A  closed  house  Christmas  party  in  December 
ended  our  1951  activities.  Pop  surprised  us  all 
very  joyfully  with  his  appearance  in  the  role  of 
Santa. 


The  second  semester  started  off  with  a  bang 
as  the  brothers  attended  the  Freshmen  reception 
banquet  at  Rahah's  on  February   5  th. 

The  A.T.G.  arrangement  of  a  "Sweater 
Dance"  was  well  accepted,  and  jammed  the  house. 
Bill  Rudolph  and  his  partner  took  first  honors. 
Brad  Johnson  was  the  judge,  and  was  confronted 
with  some  close  competition. 

"Come  French"  was  the  slogan,  and  our 
"Apache  Dance"  brought  about  more  fun  and 
merriment  for  the  couples  who  attended.  The  game 
room  we  decorated  in  the  French  "Mode,"  the 
walls  depicting  anything  that  was  French.  Barrels 
for  tables,  candles  for  light,  and  everyone  for  a 
good  time,  made  this  one  of  the  best  of  the  year. 
Pete  Elliot  and  Diane  Kirk  took  the  honors  as  the 
typical  French  Cafe  couple. 

The  formal  banquet  was  again  held  at  the 
Roger   Smith   Hotel   in  Holyoke,   on   March   22nd. 

The  first  week  of  April  found  the  boys  clean- 
ing up  the  grounds  and  making  general  repairs 
to  the  house. 

During  the  year,  "Pop"  Barrett  presented  the 
house  with  a  handsome  sign  for  the  post  at  the 
end  of  the  walk.  The  coat  of  arms  of  the 
fraternity  is  in  gold  paint  and  set  in  a  green  back- 
ground, these  being  the  colors  of  the  fraternity.  It 
is  lighted  and  hangs  from  a  hand-made  wrought 
iron  bracket. 

We  were  unfortunate  in  losing  two  swell 
men  to  the  armed  services  John  Proctor  and  Richard 
Sharron  both  left   during  the  first  semester. 

There  will  be  many  memories  passed  down 
among  families  about  that  wonderful  part  of  the 
Stockbridge  School  —  life  at  A.T.G.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 


The  publishing  of  this  book  does  not  represent  the  efforts  of  just  the  two 
people  whose  names  are  printed  on  the  title  page.  Instead,  it  is  a  composite  result  of 
the  efforts  of  many,  compiled  and  edited  into  what  it  is  hoped  to  be  a  valuable  and 
accurate  record  of  the  school  year. 

It  is,  therefore,  quite  proper  that  a  full  page  should  be  alloted  to  show  our 
appreciation  to  certain  people  for  their  contributions  and  to  the  student  body  as 
a  whole. 

Naturally,  our  faculty  adviser,  "Pop"  Barrett,  is  the  first  one  to  be  recognized 
as  a  contributing  factor  to  the  success  of  the  Shorthorn  year  after  year.  This  year,  as 
in  many  past,  he  has  given  much  time  to  coaching  us  staff  members  along,  pushing 
when  we  needed  it,  and  boosting  our  morale  when  all  seemed  to  no  avail.  So,  it  is 
most  sincerely  meant  when  we  say,  "Thanks,  Top,'  for  everything." 

President  Van  Meter  and  Director  Verbeck  have  contributed  liberally  to  the 
success  of  the  book  and  we  appreciate  the  message  of  each. 

Thanks  are  also  in  order  for  the  Placement  Directors,  Mr.  Grayson  and  Mrs. 
Cornish,  for  the  especially  good  articles  on  placement.  Another  person  whom  very 
few  of  us  know,  but  who  has  played  a  very  important  part  in  the  creation  of  the 
book  is  Mr.  Kelton  Bush,  representative  for  Progress  Publishing  Associates,  Inc.  Many 
thanks  for  your  assistance  and  help,  Mr.  Bush. 

The  class  photographer,  Mr.  Koldy,  of  Kinsman's  studio,  is  also  deserving  of 
our  thanks  for  the  tremendous  job  he  has  done  taking  the  individual  and  group 
pictures  for  the  book. 

A  list  of  this  sort  would  not  be  complete  without  mentioning  the  secretaries 
in  the  Short  Course  Office.  Miss  Martin  and  Miss  Heffernan  have  been  very  coopera- 
tive and  we  want  them  to  know  we  really  appreciate  their  part  in  this  publication. 

Finally,  we  want  to  thank  all  the  students  and  faculty  members  who  have 
helped  in  any  way  to  make  this  book  a  success.
