DEDICATION 


Professor  John  Michael  Zak  was  born  and 
reared  on  a  dairy  and  crops  farm  in  the  neigh- 
boring valley  town  of  Sunderland,  Massachu- 
setts. John  learned  first  hand  the  routine  of 
milking  cows,  weeding  onions,  topping  tobacco 
and  spraying  potatoes.  But  John  was  interested 
in  more  than  the  practical  side  of  agriculture. 

He  enrolled  at  the  Massachusetts  State 
College  and  was  graduated  in  1936  with  a 
major  in  economics.  He  continued  as  a  graduate 
student  in  the  Department  of  Agronomy  and 
was  awarded  a  Master  of  Science  degree  in 
June  1938. 

In  September, 1938,Professor  Zak  became 
an  instructor  in  the  Department  of  Agronomy. 
With  the  exception  of  a  short  period  from  April, 
1 943  to  September^  945,  when  he  was  engaged 
in  full  time  farming  operations,  John  has  been 
a  member  of  the  Agronomy  Department  teach- 
ing staff. 

Much  of  Professor  Zak's  success  as  a 
teacher  of  Agronomy  can  be  attributed  to  his 
knowledge  and  understanding  of  both  the  art 
and  science  in  agriculture.  His  students  not 
only  understand  the  fundamentals  of  agronomic 
science,  but  they  also  see  their  application  to 
practical  agriculture. 

In  dedicating  this  volume  of  the  Shorthorn 
to  Professor  John  Zak,  the  class  of  1 957  honors 
a  successful  teacher  and  a  loyal  friend,  one  who 
will  continue  to  support  a  strong  Stockbridge 
School  of  Agriculture.

Time  has  passed; 

And  as  each  hour  has  gone  before, 

So  now  the  last  bell  draws  near. 

Soon  trembling  hands  will  grasp 

The  last  remaining  mooring; 

Our  ship  will  sail  upon  a  course 

Which  we  have  daily  charted. 

But  now,  as  the  triumphant  moment  nears. 

Our  eyes  must  turn  ahead; 

The  road  of  life  has  narrowed  to  a  path. 

Thick  with  strangling  weeds  , 

Let  not  your  feet  become  entangled; 

Walk  on,  and  then  some  day  look  back 

Upon  that  moment  when  the  trembling  hand 

Cast  loose  the  mooring  line. 


FOREWORD 


When  we  look  back  into  the  fading  years, 
back  through  the  previous  editions  of  Shorthorn, 
we  realize  the  dynamic  growth  since  1  91  8.  The 
members  of  The  Shorthorn  Board  sincerely 
hope  that  this  edition  will  equal  or  surpass  all 
that  have  gone  before.  Within  the  pages  many 
memorable  hours  can  be  uncovered.  In  time 
these  last  golden  hours  will  become  treasures 
long  to  be  cherished. 

As  future  years  pass  in  review,  we  hope 
to  see  Stockbridge  growing  in  stature,  always 
remaining  a  symbol  of  progress.

Here's  to  the  Uncommon  Man!  Progress 
is  primarily,  I  believe,  a  function  of  people 
rather  than  recognition  of  the  scientific,  or 
materialistic,  accomplishment  at  any  moment 
of  time.  You  Stockbridge  graduates  are  set  apart 
already  from  the  general  run  of  people  in  that 
you  have  had  the  courage  and  energy  to  go  two 
years  beyond  high  school  in  specialized  training 
and  study  for  your  chosen  vocation.  Of  such 
choices  in  life  and  its  activities  are  those  quali- 
ties that  make  for  the  most-needed  member  of 
the  complex  and  involved  society  of  today  — 
the  Uncommon  Man.  Here's  to  you,  then,  and 
to  your  progress  toward  new  and  uncommon 
goals! 

J.  Paul  Mather 
President 


The  University  of  Massachusetts  is  proud 
of  its  Stockbridge  School  of  Agriculture  and  of 
you,  our  special  two-year  students.  You  add  a 
spicy  ingredient  to  our  campus  life.  I  admire 
particularly  your  enthusiasm  and  your  devotion 
to  the  school  and  university.  I  trust  that  you 
will  carry  this  Stockbridge  spirit  on  in  your 
life's  work  and  your  alumni  activities.  This  year 
has  been  an  interesting  and  full  year  of  pro- 
gress; you  will  long  remember  it.  The  detailed 
knowledge  and  techniques  you  have  learned 
may  fade  in  the  years  ahead.  However,  I  hope 
that  the  patterns  of  searching  for  knowledge,  of 
experimenting  with  new  ways  of  doing  things, 
and  of  learning  to  live  in  a  complex  society, 
such  as  this  university  campus,  will  always  be 
a  part  of  your  life. 

Shannon  McCune 

Provost 


The  class  of  1  957  has  made  a  good  record 
in  Amherst  and  I  feel  certain  that  this  good 
record  will  continue  after  graduation.  Some  of 
you  will  take  still  more  formal  education,  but 
most  of  you  will  go  to  jobs  for  which  you  have 
been  preparing.  Education  is  never  finished, 
and  it  is  important  to  keep  this  in  mind  at  all 
times. 

You  should  be  proud  of  your  school.  The 
Stockbridge  School  of  Agriculture  continues  to 
attract  national  attention — representing  sound 
vocational  education  beyond  high  school.  It  is 
probable  that  more  and  more  two  year  schools 
will  be  established  in  the  next  ten  years  —  and 
some  of  these  new  schools  will  be  patterned 
after  Stockbridge. 

Manyof  you  will  find  it  desirableto  join  the 
Stockbridge  Alumni  Association  and  thereby 
keep  informed  as  to  what  is  going  on  in  Amherst 
as  well  as  get  news  about  your  classmates. 

Good  wishes  to  each  one  of  you. 

Fred  P.  Jeffrey 
Director 


Technological  progress  is  the  key  to 
modern  agricultural  production,  processing,  and 
marketing.  Most  of  the  significant  advances  in 
agriculture  have  occurred  during  the  past  one 
hundred  years  as  a  result  of  intensive  research 
and  effective  educational  programs. 

Agricultural  progress  has  usually  preceded 
industrial  and  commercial  progress.  There 
seems  to  be  every  reason  to  believe  that  agricul- 
ture will  go  forward  in  the  nuclear  age  to  even 
greater  efficiency.

TRIBUTE 


In  paying  tribute  to  this  great  man  in  the  past, 
we  look  back  and  see  the  work  he  has  done  for 
the  students  of  Stockbridge.  In  the  present  we 
find  that  he  has  retired  from  the  teaching  staff ; 
but  he  is  still  spending  his  time  helping  the 
students  wherever  his  service  is  needed.  To  the 
Shorthorn  he  still  has  the  one  interest,  to  see  a 
better  book  put  out  each  year.  The  picture  in 
the  future,  shows  his  continued  service  and 
loyalty  to  the  school.  Past,  present,  and  future. 
Pop  Barrett  will  remain  in  the  hearts  of  many.

Few  of  us  have  ever  stopped  to  realize 
that  with  every  wheel  their  must  be  a  rim, 
every  plant  must  have  it's  roots;  we  must  have 
our  bread  and  water.  It  is  true  that  every  group 
has  its  staff.  So  it  is  with  the  short  course  office. 
They  are  keeping  the  wheel  running,  they  are 
the  roots  of  the  trees.  It  is  greatly  appreciated 
the  work  that  the  office  staff  does  in  carrying 
out  the  work  of  the  school.

With  the  opening  of  the  Student  Union, 
the  Stockbridge  Student  Council  changed  its 
name  to  the  "Student  Senate."  This  change  was 
inspiring  to  the  Seniors,  who  with  new-born 
desires,  went  on  to  maintain  our  theme  of 
progress  through  the  year. 

This  year  witnessed  the  commencement 
of  the  Stockbridge  mixer.  We,  as  senators,  hope 
it  will  become  an  annual  affair.  This  was  put 
on  through  the  cooperation  of  the  senates' 
members. 

The  Progress  Banquet,  Sno-Ball  Dance, 
and  Stockbridge  Day  were  a  few  of  the  events 
put  on  through  the  successful  efforts  of  the 
Student  Senators. 

This  year  saw  the  appointing  of  a  Student 
Senate  faculty  advisor;  Mr.  Norman  Cournoyer 
will  aid  the  senate  in  making  decisions  which 
will  require  advice  of  a  well  informed  faculty 
member. 

We  as  parting  elder  Senators  wish  to  pass 
on  these  traditions  which  were  started  this  year 
and  in  the  past  years.  As  we  leave  the  portals 
of  the  Stockbridge  traditions  and  mannerisms, 
we  hope  the  Student  Senate  will  be  evermore 
progressive  in  the  future.

STOSAG 


Eighteenth  annual  election  by  Stockbridge 
faculty  advisory  committee  to  encourage  and 
recognize  high  scholastic  ability  and  sound 
practical  training.  The  derivation  of  Stosag  is 
obvious — "Sto"  from  Stockbridge,  "s"  from 
school,  and  "ag"  from  Agriculture. 

To  qualify  for  election  by  the  Stockbridge 
Advisory   the   student   must   have   maintained 


an  average  grade  of  3.4  points  quality  or  better. 
This  is  determined  by  allowing  4  points  for 
every  A,  3  points  for  every  B,  and  2  points  for 
a  C.  No  grades  of  D  or  lower  are  considered. 

Stosag  was  established  in  1935  at  the 
suggestion  of  Professor  Miner  J.  Markuson. 

Congratulations  and  best  of  luck  to  all 
those  elected.

This  year  the  Stockbridge  Octet  is  short- 
handed  with  only  seven  members  including  the 
director.  Bob  Ames.  Even  with  this  handicap 
the  spirit  of  the  organization  has  not  been 
dampened.  Cooperation  and  the  ambition  of 
the  group  has  brought  joy  to  many  audiences 
on  and  off  campus. 

The  members  include:  Art  Leiand,  first 
tenor;  Ken  Chase,  second  tenor;  Jim  Cronin, 
second  tenor;  Mike  Connor,  baritone;  Richard 


Clapp,  bass;  Bob  Ames,  director  and  baritone. 

The  Octet  was  invited  to  accompany  the 
University  Corale  group  again  this  year.  During 
semester  vacation  the  two  groups  conducted 
several  concerts  in  various  towns  in  the  eastern 
part  of  the  state. 

Seeing  as  all  the  present  members  of  the 
Octet  are  seniors  let  us  hope  that  the  freshmen 
and  seniors  of  next  year  join  the  worthy  organi- 
zation.

KAPPA  KAPPA

Each  year  as  time  progresses  there  comes  a 
time  when  you  think  the  bottom  has  fallen  out. 
Such  was  with  Kappa  Kappa  when  only  a  small 
percentage  of  seniors  returned  to  their  campus 
living  quarters  at  367  North  Pleasant  Street. 
Returning  to  the  campus  for  the  last  year  of  an 
unforgettable  life  they,  the  seniors,  carried  back 
with  them  determination  and  spirit,  to  perform 
the  duties  of  the  fraternity  as  they  should  be. 
The  greatest  success  came  when  the  marvelous 
group  of  freshmen  pledged  the  greatest  frater- 
nity in  Stockbridge. 

Social  life,  which  is  important  in  the  exist- 
ence of  fraternal  life,  was  at  its  greatest  this 
year.  To  start  the  ball  revolving  for  the  year 
we  held  our  Annual  Harvest  Party,  which  has  a 
lasting  memory  to  all  members.  Let  us  not  leave 
behind  the  sweater,  the  costume  and  the  Hal- 
loween parties,  for  they  too  have  some  fond 
memories.  This  year  we  had  a  terrific  Thanks- 
giving Dinner,  prepared  with  the  guidance  of 
the  Food  Management  majors  in  the  house.  The 
peak  of  the  activities  was  the  pledge  formal  and 
the  annual  banquet.  A  formal,  a  party,  a  get 
together,  it  did  not  matter;  whenever  they  left 
K.K.,  they  were  waiting  the  invitation  for  the 
next  party.  Words  can't  be  found  to  express 
their  thoughts. 

Initiation  proved  of  great  value  to  the 
fraternity  this  year.  Redecorating  the  house  in 
the  interior,  consisted  of  the  first  step.  A 
tremendous  job  was  done  by  all  who  pledged. 

The  molding  of  snow  brought  forth  the 
theme  "Symphony  in  the  Snow"  for  the  Winter 
Carnival.  The  portals  of  the  past  show  that 
the  present  has  been  the  greatest  in  the  history 
of  the  house,  the  future  has  great  opportunities. 
We  as  parting  seniors  extend  the  very  best  of 
luck  for  the  returning  freshmen  and  the  future 
of  the  greatest  fraternity,  Kappa  Kappa. 

Joseph  Hayes, 
President

ALPHA  TAU  GAMMA 


m  m  cN 


Down  the  corridor  of  time,  A.T.G.  has 
been  perpetuated  as,  "A  home  away  from 
home."  This  legend  has  been  adopted  by  the 
class  of  1957.  The  fellows  have  shown  their 
deep  concern  for  A.T.G.  by  contributing  in 
every  possible  way  toward  its  future  growth  and 
development. 

Those  of  us  who  will  graduate  this  year, 
will  always  look  back,  remembering  those  un- 
forgettable hours  at  this,  "our  campus  home." 
Will  the  memories  of  the  Bermuda  party  ever 
disappear  or  the  Christmas  party  with  its  many 
hilarious  gifts.  Remember  the  Hobo  party  and 
the  many  minutes  spent  in  culturing  beards. 
Last,  but  not  least,  came  the  Freshmen  initia- 
tions, ending  with  a  formal  pledge  at  the  Hotel 
Northhampton.  President  Mather  and  Dean 
Jeffrey  were  the  guest  speakers. 

Most  of  the  A.T.G.  members  contributed 
to  the  school  by  giving  their  best  in  the  sports. 
We  had  several  star  football  and  basketball 
players. 

We  at  375  North  Pleasant  Street  will 
never  forget  these  last  days.  We  have  worked 
as  a  team,  pitching  in  together,  with  spirit  of 
cooperation  and  tolerance  of  others.  We  have 
learned  to  live  together  in  peace  and  quality, 
which  in  this  troubled  world,  stands  alone  in 
importance. 

Craig  B.  Richardson 


Progress 
Banquet 


The  spirit  of  the  past  has  been  cast  upon 
the  present  to  carry  out  the  ambitions  for  the 
future  of  the  school  and  for  the  individuals. 

In  the  past  one  sports  award  was  given  for 
football,  but  this  year  an  award  was  given  to 
a  basketball  player  as  well. 

In  every  team,  every  sport,  there  is  always 
one  player  that  stands  higher  than  another. 
Many  times  it  is  difficult  to  see  his  face.  With 
the  cooperation  and  spirit  of  the  team  for  their 
school,  it  is  hard  for  the  coach  to  see  this  players 
good  standard. 

The  first  award  for  basketball  was  pre- 
sented to  Dan  Kelliher.  The  football  award 
which  has  been  a  tradition  was  presented  to 
Jon  Holmes.  All  players  of  both  teams  were 
given  certificates  for  their  fine  sportsmenship. 
They  all  deserved  a  vote  of  thanks  for  their  part. 

Prior  to  the  presentation  of  the  awards 
everyone  enjoyed  a  delicious  meal  in  the  Stu- 
dent Union. 

Dean  Jeffrey  named  the  list  of  honor  stu- 
dents for  Stosag.  He  also  presented  gifts  to  the 
cheerleaders  for  their  job,  well  done. 


Senior 
Mixer 


As  we  stroll  down  the  paths  of  Stockbridge 
to  look  into  the  future  of  each  of  the  students, 
we  see  the  betterment  of  Stockbridge  at  the 
University  of  Massachusetts,  it  has  grown  to 
be  one  of  the  great  two  year  school  of  educa- 
tion. Through  the  years  we  find  that  every  class 
has  given  ideas  for  the  enjoyment  of  the  stu- 
dents. 

The  thought  occurred:  what  happens 
when  the  freshmen  come  to  campus,  what  is 
the  best  way  for  the  group  to  get  together  to 
meet  their  classmates?  The  idea  was  conceived 
to  have  a  get  together  between  the  in-coming 
freshmen  and  the  men  of  the  industries  for 
tomorrow,  and  the  Stockbridge  Faculty. 

Another  main  idea  of  this  mixer  was  to 
acquaint  the  new  members  with  some  of  the 
functions  of  the  school.  It  gave  the  fraternities 
a  chance  to  talk  for  the  future  and  progress  of 
their  house. 

We  sincerely  hope  we,  as  seniors,  have 
helped  the  freshmen  in  orientating  themselves 
in  our  great  school  of  the  future. 


Horticulture 
Show 


82 


Mother  Nature  contributed  greatly  to  the 
44th  Annual  Horticultural  Show  by  sending  a 
gift  package  of  spring-like  weather  wrapped 
with  balmy  southerly  breezes.  Almost  25,000 
people  were  at  hand  to  see  our  show  with  its 
appropriate  theme  of  "Music  in  the  Park". 
Mettawampie,  the  celebrated  Indian,  stood  at 
the  entrance  surrounded  by  a  breath-taking 
bed  of  colorful  geraniums.  At  the  far  end  of 
"the  park"  stood  a  Victorian  bandstand.  Peri- 
odical appearances  of  the  Stockbridge  Octet, 
in  University  Corale,  Band  and  Glee  Club  added 
a  rich  seasoning  of  character  and  dimension. 

The  student  exhibits,  for  the  most  part, 
were  carefully  planned  and  painstakingly  ex- 
ecuted. They  ranged  from  the  rustic  strength 
of  a  colonial  doorway  to  the  picturesque  beauty 
of  a  desert  oasis. 

The  tradition  of  choosing  a  leading  Horti- 
culturist was  carried  on  with  Mr.  Harlan  P. 
Kelsey,  of  East  Boxford,  Mass.,  capturing  a 
richly  deserved  award. 

Years  may  pile  heavy  upon  our  brow  but 
those  moments  of  fellowship  and  suspense  can 
never  be  erased.  We  of  the  graduating  class 
sincerely  hope  that  this,  our  show,  will 
continue  to  grow  bringing  joy  and  happiness  to 
countless  thousands  and  perhaps,  in  time,  it 
will  become  a  New  England  Tradition.

Little 
International 


84 


Our  Little  International  is  patterned  after 
the  great  International  Livestock  Show  held 
annually  in  Chicago  with  one  major  difference 
—  the  students  not  the  animals  are  being 
judged.  The  contestants  are  students  majoring 
in  Animal  Husbandry  — -  Stockbridge  Seniors 
and  four  year  Juniors.  The  animals  exhibited 
all  belong  to  the  University.  For  several  weeks 
prior  to  the  show,  the  animals  are  trained  to 
lead  and  stand  properly,  washed,  brushed  and 
fitted  by  the  student  so  that  he  will  be  able  to 
show  his  animal  off  in  the  best  possible  manner. 


The  judges  are  prominent  livestock  men  — 
either  breeders  or  professional  men  from  neigh- 
boring colleges.  This  show  is  sponsored  by  the 
Animal  Husbandry  Club  and  has  been  the  main 
event  on  its  calendar  for  the  past  17  years.  It 
serves  several  functions:  it  provides  the  stu- 
dents with  a  chance  to  learn,  first-hand,  how  to 
fit  and  show  a  pig,  sheep,  beef  calf  or  horse;  it 
provides  the  instructor  a  chance  to  observe  the 
students  in  a  medium  entirely  different  from 
the  class  room ;  and  it  provides  people  interested 
in  livestock  a  chance  to  see  a  top  show. 

Stockbridge  again  did  itself  proud  by  hav- 
ing the  top  place  showman  in  David  Sheldon 
from  Mill  River.  Kenneth  Pillsbury,  a  four  year 
student  from  Walpole,  was  reserve  premier  and 
James  Larkin  of  Sheffield  received  Honorable 
Mention. 


Winter 
Carnival 


Blazing  fireworks,  the  sound  of  the  trump- 
ets, the  sharp  notes  of  the  music,  high-lighted 
the  beginning  of  an  exciting  weekend  of  fun 
and    frolic  at  the  Winter  Carnival  for  1  957. 

The  enjoyment  of  a  night  of  great  memo- 
ries was  that  of  the  great  Jazz  concert  at  the 
dining  commons,  featuring  the  Brunotes  from 
Brown  University. 


"Symphony  in  Snow"  was  this  years  carni- 
val official  name  didn't  prove  too  Symphonic 
due  to  lack  of  adequate  snow. 

The  Winter  Carnival  Ball  was  held  in  the 
Student  Union,  where  more  than  2,000  people 
danced  under  the  finest  of  music  presented  by 
Buddy  Morrow  and  his  orchestra.  Buddy  is 
acclaimed  the  greatest  trombonist  of  the  pres- 
ent day.  The  gay  crowd  witnessed  the  official 
crowning  of  the  queen.  Miss  Ann  Thompson, 
attended  by  a  court  consisting  of  the  other  four 
finalists. 

The  Stockbridge  Sno-Ball  was  a  big  suc- 
cess as  it  has  been  in  the  past.  Dancing  was  to 
the  music  of  Ray  Victory  in  the  Commonwealth 
Ballroom  of  the  Student  Union. 

A  weekend  that  will  be  remembered  by 
all  even  if  there  was  the  lack  of  snow  to  make 
the  "Symphony  in  Snow"  complete. 


86 


Snowball  Dance 


Frolicsome,  vivacious  and  lighted  hearted- 
ness  are  about  the  best  adjectives  that  could 
explain  the  couples  who  attended  the  third 
annual  Sno-Ball  Dance.  This  year,  with  the  com- 
plement of  the  Student  Union,  the  dance  was 
held  in  the  Commonwealth  Ballroom  and  was  a 
greater  success  than  any  other  year. 

The  couples  danced  vivaciously  around  the 
ballroom  under  the  capable  direction  of  Ray 
Victory  and  his  orchestra. 

Dean  Jeffrey  and  his  guest  all  seemed  to 
have  been  held  spellbound  by  the  enthusiasm 
that  was  present  at  this  years  successful  Sno- 
Bail.

Food  Seminar 


Many  hours  were  spent,  a  lot  of  hard  labor, 
giving  of  your  talents,  and  corporation  were  all 
working  as  one  unit  to  produce  the  best  seminar 
put  on  by  the  students,  on  campus. 

Men  and  women  of  the  Food  Industry  in 
the  New  England  area  were  the  guest  of  the 
Food  Managements  Majors'. 

The  seminar,  which  lasted  for  three  days 
of  the  semester  vacation,  is  planned  by  the 
Students  from  beginning  to  end.  Taking  care  of 
complete  housing  and  feeding  elaborate  meals 
at  the  dining  commons. 

Highlights  of  the  seminar  was  a  cocktail 
party  at  President  Mathers  home.  Followed  by 
a  banquet  at  the  commons. 

The  purpose  of  the  seminar  is  for  the 
people  of  the  industry  to  further  their  knowl- 
edge in  the  food  field.  This  is  done  by  visiting 
lectures  from  the  top  men  of  the  industry.

As  September  approaches  for  the  year  of 
1  957,  a  dimness  of  what  is  for  the  future,  came 
to  Coach  Kosal^owski,  only  four  seniors  re- 
turned for  the  football  season.  As  always,  when 
you  think  of  the  worse,  the  best  will  always  turn 
up.  A  good  group  of  freshmen  showed  for  the 
first  practice.  With  the  freshmen  and  veteran 
seniors.  Coach  molded  the  team  into  a  rough 
tough  Aggie  team  that  could  give  any  team  a 
rough  time. 

No  matter  how  hard  the  team  was  fight- 
ing you  were  never  fighting  hard  enough  for 
the  team.  It  was  always,  "fight  harder".  Giving 
them  the  treatment  when  they  would  make  an 
unforgettable  mistake.  The  coach  has  seen 
where  the  team  has  learned  by  their  mistakes, 
thus  the  team  improves  as  the  year  progresses. 
The  hard  work  of  each  player  has  made  a  great 
team.  In  every  group  their  is  always  one  out- 
standing player.  This  year  Jon  Holmes  has 
walked  away  with  the  coveted  trophy. 

Although  much  time  and  sweat  was  put 
forth  by  the  team,  the  tri-captains,  John  Fiorini, 
Donald  Coombs,  John  Holmes,  Coach  Kosak- 
owski,  the  Aggies  only  won  two  of  their  five 
games.

R.  Mason,  A.  Penttila,  M,  Kaplan,  C.  Irvine,  P.  Arnoe,  H. 
Beal,  R.  Brown   (Assistant  Coach)  . 


Although  Coach  Woronicz  lost  most  of 
his  team  at  graduation,  he  produced  a  great 
team  around  his  two  remaining  players.  The 
boys  had  a  bad  start  but  soon  settled  down  and 
produced  a  winning  team.  The  big  problem  was 
getting  organized  as  a  team.  The  Blue-Devels 
soon  overcame  this  obstacle  with  the  help  and 
experience  of  a  few  veterans. 

The  boys  worked  hard  and  are  to  be  con- 
gratulated; no  measure  can  be  put  to  the 
enthusiasm  and  the  amount  of  effort  displayed 
by  each  and  every  member  of  the  team. 


Credit  should  be  given  to  Coach  "Hank" 
Woronicz  for  his  patience  and  determination; 
he  had  a  tough  goal  to  reach  but  did  a  great  job 
molding  the  boys  into  a  team  to  defend  the 
Aggies  of  the  floor. 

With  the  end  of  a  good  season,  a  great 
honor  and  a  job  well  done  was  awarded  to  Dan 
Kelleher  as  the  outstanding  player  award  pre- 
sented to  him.  This  was  the  first  time  in  the 
history  of  the  school  this  award  has  been  pre- 
sented.

YOU  MAKE  YEARBOOKS  FUN 

HERE  AT  PROGRESS 


in 
"The  City  of  Albany" 

Working  closely  with  you  has  been 
truly  a  wonderful  experience.  In  the 
beginning  there  was  nothing  except  en- 
thusiasm, ideas  and  many  blank  pages. 
Upon  this  meager  foundation  you  have 
built  this  beautiful  memory  book.  Our 
work  at  Progress  really  is  fun  .  .  . 
because  we  enjoy,  so  much,  getting  to 
know  such  splendid  faculty  members 
and  students  as  you.
