The members of the STOSAG staff are
proud to present the yearbook for the class of
1960. To us this yearbook is more than a
chronological outline of events. It is a memory
book, which has preserved a record of our class-
mates and their accomplishments at Stockbridge.

Someone once said that "Life is a jig saw
puzzle with most of the pieces missing." Now
that we have completed the distinctive courses
prescribed at Stockbridge, we are able to con-
tribute, EDUCATION, to this puzzle. Let us
reminisce, then, as we turn the pages of this
unique narration, for herein lies a record of the
best years of our life. May God grant us
strength to go forth to meet the shadowy
future without fear and with a manly heart.

Upon graduation from the University of
Massachusetts in 1943, Mr. James W. Callahan
served with the Army Air Force for three years
during World War II.

At the conclusion of his military service, he
was appointed to the Department of Agricultural
Economics at the University of Massachusetts,
serving as an instructor, with subsequent promo-
tion to the post of Assistant Professor of Agri-
cultural Economics.

James W. Callahan

For the past three years, we have been
fortunate to have Mr. Callahan as an adviser to
the Stosag Board. He has been more than an
adviser; a helping hand and friend, for without
his assistance and untiring efforts on our behalf
our accomplishments would indeed be few.

A dedication is a way of saying thanks, but
in dedicating the yearbook to Mr. Callahan, we
feel we have gone only a short way towards
fully expressing our appreciation and esteem for
him. Therefore, as an indication of our appre-
ciation, we dedicate this 42nd edition of the
yearbook to Mr. James W. Callahan, our adviser.

In ilemoriam

WESLEY CLARK
Class of I960

Wesley G. Clark, an Animal Science major
in the class of 1960 met sudden death in an
automobile accident on October 24, 1958. He
was on his way to attend classes at Stockbridge
when this tragic accident took his life. Wesley
had transferred to Stockbridge after completing
his freshman year at the university.

In the short time Wesley was at Stockbridge,
he had gained many friends, and was well liked
by all the boys. Our sincere sympathy is ex-
tended to his family and friends.

Meaaage to the Stockbrldge School:

Ae I leave the Interesting atmosphere of the
University o£ Masaachuaects, I will always remember the
pleasant personal and educational aasoclatlon I have
enjoyed «Ich the Stockbrldge School of Agriculture. The
pattern of training In such two year programs should be
extended and broikdened, l believe, to Include many other
general and spectallaed fields of knowledge and human
endeavor. And there should be many more such schools
throughout the Cotaoionuealth In the years ahead. Advancing
the level of educational attainment beyond high school by
more low cost public education la the key to future progrese
and productivity for our society. Anything leaa. In my
opinion. Is ahortalghted public policy.

Provost Shannon McCune

In mid-October, a STOSAG staff member
visited Provost McCune's office to obtain his
annual message for the 1960 STOSAG. "The
Provost has gone to Japan for a month," the
receptionist said.

Before Dr. McCune returned to the campus,
the first section of the yearbook v^^as ready to be
shipped to the printer. Although we cannot
include the warm friendly words of Provost
McCune on this page, we are proud to report
that his visit to Japan has helped to promote
better agriculture in that distant land.

An agricultural exchange program between
the University of Massachusetts and Hokkaido
University was initiated two years ago. Profes-
sors and agricultural leaders from both institu-
tions are busy setting up new agricultural
programs for the Japanese people.

Dr. McCune's extensive knowledge of far-
eastern agricultural and social problems has
helped to unlock the door to a program for
bettering human life in Japan.

JOE BROUILLET

WHERE WERE "YOU" ON THAT PLAY?

The "59" season was off on a jump as we
scored first against an aggressive and eventually
victorious Gushing Academy.

Worcester Academy (a large fleet-footed
club) put together 3 interceptions and 2 runs
to swamp us; but not before a punt return, a
series of runs for a first down, and 2 cross-body
blocks opened a hole for the Stockbridge score.

The arrival of Monson Academy was a wel-
come sight. After our first score, Steve sent in
the second team. The freshmen held Monson
to 3 touchdowns while scoring once themselves
and only coming out when points were needed.

The Amherst Frosh game was disappoint-
ing to the boys. We outplayed the Ivy
Leaguers but lost when two of our mistakes
were turned into touchdowns.

Our game against the University Freshmen
was the big one of the year. The boys were
up and gave everything they had for a standing
room crowd, fighting their way to a 6 to 0 lead
as the first half ended. The University out-
manned us 2 to 1, taking their toll in the third
quarter, as Stockbridge miscued.

The season ended on a damp note as we
lost a bitterly fought contest to Mount Hermon
in a quagmire.

We owe many thanks to Steve Kosakowski
and his line coach Hank Wilson for all their
time and effort. We are proud of the sports-
manship of our players and know the freshmen
have benefitted from contact with the Seniors
and will have a winning season next year.

the theme for stud -.its, departmental, and com-
mercial exhibits.

The display of the Olericulture Department
received the most praise of all exhibits. Many
people were amazed at the depth which was
achieved by the colorful fields and quaint
Colonial Farm on the horizon. Our congratula-
tions are extended to the students and faculty
for their ingenuity in creating this scene.

The floral arrangements of the Holyoke
florists', Northampton florists', Garden Clubs,
and students lended very nicely to the theme
of the show. We believe that the 18,000 people
who attended the 47th Annual Horticultural
Show will all agree that it was an outstanding
success.

In the spring term of 1959, sparked by the
initiative of a few members of the Class of 1960,
the nucleus of a rifle team was formed at Stock-
bridge School. No matches were scheduled
that season, but the team became affiliated with
the National Rifle Association as a Collegiate
Team, and markmanship practice was carried
out under the coaching of Colonel John Mar-
chant (Stockbridge 1928), Professor of Air

Science at the University.

Twenty-eight candidates turned out for the
team in the fall of 1959, and as the schedule
shows, the Stockbridgemen were not afraid to
go out of their class to get competition. How-
ever, despite the limited facilities for rifle prac-
tice, the Stockbridge School Rifle Team steadily
improved and had, to publication time, compiled
a creditable record.

Poultry Science
Club

The current 1959-60 year of the Poultry
Science Club has been a most successful one.
We began the year with a "Smoker" in the
Stockbridge House on the University Campus.
At the next meeting, a local farm operator who
owns and manages his own retail store in
Amherst presented a talk on the commercial side
of the poultry industry. This was followed by
a more scientific topic, "Why And How To Set
Up An Experimental Research Program For
Poultry." Dr. William Mellen, a member of our
Poultry Department, was the speaker on this
occasion.

The speaker at our fourth meeting, was Mr.
Chick Klein, noted traveler, author and lecturer.
His interesting talk on the "Soaring Sixties" was
thoroughly enjoyed by all.

Under the guidance and untiring assistance
of our faculty adviser, Mr. John Vondell, the
club membership has grown to twenty-two.
This number rates very high when compared to
the membership in prior years. One of the major
accomplishments by this year's club has been
the introduction of newly designed membership
cards which can be used by future members of
the Poultry Science Club.

Animal Science Club

For those in Stockbridge, this was an histor-
ical year for the University of Massachusetts
Animal Science Club. This year is the first in
the history of the Club that a Stockbridge Senior
has held the office of President. Fred Rowe
replaced Jim Larkin at the beginning of the
second semester when Jim graduated from the
University.

This year we have had speakers covering
different phases of agriculture. Mr. John Martin,
from the Hood Foundation discussed different
types of Dairy Farm housing. Mr. Luther
Belden, an outstanding sheep breeder in the
Connecticut Valley, spoke on Hot House Lamb
Production. In addition to these speakers, a
representative from the Holstein Friesian Asso-
ciation addressed the club.

The major activity of the club is the spon-
sorship of the Little International Livestock
Show. The show, which is modeled after the
International Livestock Show in Chicago, is an
annual affair taking place in the early spring.

This combination of speakers and activities
has rounded out a very successful year for the
Animal Science Club.

The Dairy Club has been estabHshed as a
student affihate chapter of the American Dairy
Association. Its main purpose is to develop and
promulgate interest in the dairy industry among
people within the university community. In as
much as the Daiiy Club is primarily a student
organization, it is open to active membership
for all students who are interested in the field
of Dairy Technology, regardless of their back-
ground or field of endeavor.

Professor David Evans, faculty adviser, and
the club officers plan the bi-monthly meetings.
Programs consist of movies, guest speakers and
discussion panels.

The Stewards Club is an organization
whose main purpose is to further the relation-
ship between its members and the hotel and
restaurant industry.

During the year, the Club catered to several
parties here on campus including the Military
Ball, Womens Faculty Association and others.
Another undertaking was the setting up of a
small restaurant type operation on the track of
the Cage during the annual Horticulture Show.

Membership is made up of food manage-
ment, food technology and institutional manage-
ment majors. Last fall the freshmen members
enjoyed a trip to New York city where they
observed the annual New York Hotel Show. The
senior members participated in the New
England Show at the Statler Hilton Hotel in
Boston.

Frequent business meetings of the Club
were held, always followed by a social hour at
the Student Union.

The Olericulture Club met monthly in
Bowditch Hall for a program including talks and
movies dealing with various phases of grovv'ing
and marketing vegetable crops.

Professor Lockman, from the University,
spoke on his work in developing new hybrid
sweet corn varieties, stressing quality.

Mr. Warren Gove of Leominster told of
his operations in developing a roadside stand
business and Professor Young of the Waltham
Field Station gave an illustrated talk on large
scale vegetable production in California.

Two supper meetings with entertainment
were held in the Farley 4-H House and mem-
bers of the club were responsible for the staging
of the main exhibit at the annual Horticultural
Show last November.

Arboriculture
Club

Under the leadership of Professor King, the
Arboriculture Club meets twice monthly for
instructive discussions about the latest develop-
ments in the arboriculture field. At our first
meeting, election of officers was held, and the
following men were named to conduct our
meetings for the 1959-60 year: Bill Hare, Pres-
ident; Harvey Desgrosseilleus, Vice President;
and Tom McCarthy, Secretary-Treasurer. Joe
Garcia gave a talk on his trip to Montana and
showed slides of his tour. "Diagnosing," was
the subject of Dr. McKenzie's talk at one of our
subsequent meetings. The twenty-five members
that attended found this talk to be very interest-
ing and informative. We are looking forward to
other entertaining sessions during the remaining
months of our stay at Stockbridge.

Floriculture
Club

The Floriculture Club is set up to foster a
wide range of practical information in this
modern agricultural field. It provides an oppor-
tunity for students to share in the experiences of
outstanding men engaged in the science of
floriculture. Discussion periods between stu-
dents and leaders is one of the most valuable
services that the Club can offer.

The Floriculture Club has also promoted
cordial relations among students, educators and
professional florists and gardeners. To foster
these good fellowships, we have flower exhibi-
tions, banquets and other worthwhile affairs.
We feel that membership in the Floriculture
Club has helped to increase our interest for a
permanent career in this interesting field.

Board

The 1960 STOSAG is once
again a product of the Progress
Pubhshers Inc. of Albany, New
York. From September to April
the staff, working with Editor-
in-Chief Dick Rubant, Business
Manager Dave Belden and Sec-
retary Marilyn Fox, met every
Tuesday night to meet the dead-
lines. Assisting the officers were
Dick Carboni, Hans Albrecht,
Bill Hultgren, Dave Lyons,
Dave Winkley, Bob Lowe and
Jim Mulcahy. However, without
the hard work of our adviser,
Mr. Callahan, this book might
still be a dream. We also would
like to thank all the people who
contributed pictures and infor-
mation so that this would be the
best yearbook published by a
STOSAG STAFF.

Snowbal

Despite the lack of snow for the second
year in a row, enthusiasm ran high for the an-
nual Snowball Dance. Hard work by Senate
President— Bill Tredo and other members, made
this one of the most colorful events of the week-
end. Decorations in the small ballroom depicted
the theme of the Winter Carnival, "Silver Sleigh-
land," very effectively. A large turnout of over

one hundred couples were welcomed at the
door by chaperones, Mr. and Mrs. Jeffrey, Mr.
and Mrs. King, and Mrs. Dempsey, ATG's
Housemother. Sonny Costanza's music was en-
joyed by all, right up until the bass player hit
the floor at midnight. Snifters and blue proto-
cols were passed out to make the evening
complete.

Basketbal I

The turnout for the first basketball practice
was heartening. Thirty eager candidates were
greeted by a coach full of good ideas. We work-
ed hard getting in condition and learning plays,
but noticed the lack of height and returning
seniors. Bob Costantino, our captain, was our
only letter man.

The season started with the boys playing
good ball, but not scoring enough to break into
the win column.

Returning from Christmas vacation, we

found ourselves playing for a new coach. Bill
Maxwell. Bill, a university senior majoring in
physical education is extremely interested in
trying new formations. We rallied under his
direction to score an average of 60 points per
game for the last 5 games, winning 2.

The boys returning to the team next year
should set an impressive record for they have
gained valuable experience during this rebuild-
ing year.

Student Senate

Although school spirit seemed to be lacking
at times, the Senate had a fruitful year, due to
the zealous efforts of its very able officers and
members. The Senators showed a great interest
in the many undertakings they have handled,
both in the present and for the future.

A very successful Snow-Ball dance spon-
sored and financially managed by the Senate was
one of the highlights of a snowless Winter Car-
nival Weekend. Likewise, the Progress Banquet,
attended by more than 300 persons, and man-
aged by the Senate and Stewards Club was

extremely successful.

The Stockbridge Senate, coordinating its
efforts with Dean Jeffrey and the University
Board of Trustees, has encouraged the addition
of an Associate Degree to be offered by the
School in place of the present diploma. It like-
wise has sponsored bills and amendments for
the future living status and educational well
being of the individual student.

The Senate thanks Professor King for his
excellent guidance during the past year.

PROGRESS

Each spring the Stockbridge School honors
outstanding Scholars and Athletes, at the Annual
Progress Banquet. The Banquet was again cat-
ered by Kendall Caterers, with the Rev. Donald
Bosart giving the invocation. Attending were the
Stosag Honorary Scholastic Society, Rifle Club,
Basketball and Football Teams, 250 Freshman
and Senior class members, and many members
of the faculty. Dean Fred P. Jeffrey spoke brief-
ly, mentioning the proposed Associate Degree.
He then read the Stosag Society list which in-
cluded those students that had attained at least
a 3.4 cumulative quality point average. He also
read the Dean's list for Freshmen that had at-
tained an average of 3.4 or better, giving special
mention to four students that had earned a
perfect 4.0 average during the first Semester.

Col. Marchant praised the Rifle Team Mem-
bers for their enthusiasm and cooperation during
the first year of formal competition. Certificates
and badges were awarded to each member of
the team.

humorous frame of mind.

ALPHA
TAU

GAMMA

1959-60 HOUSE HISTORY
This year marked Alpha Tau Gamma's
Fortieth anniversary and commenced with Presi-
dent Mather's decree of total prohibition. The
brothers thought that prohibition was the end of
fraternity life. The first party on September 26th
( beatnik ) which was a complete success, chang-
ed their idea. New spirit was found with more
group participation, bringing about a much
closer fraternal life.

Our first year in the Interfraternity Council
started with football. We sustained a few bruises,
won a few games, and had a lot of competitive

fun. On October 3rd the house members of the
school team forgot the wounds inflicted by
Worcester by eating the delicious chicken cook-
ed by the Moshers' at our barbecue. The first
affair began Homecoming Week-end with the
building of a float to our theme of "HIGH
HOPES." We cheered the University's team,
attended the S.S.A.-AMHERST game, and
danced to a three piece band at a semi-formal
house party. For other fall weekends we had a
"hay ride," a co-ed "pajama party," and a "bums
party." The "Miss Campus Chest" drive was a

lot of fun and the I.F.C. basketball league was a
new challenge and a wonderful experience.
December 8th saw our first exchange supper.
We crossed the street to Pi Beta Phi Sorority
where everyone enjoyed a social hour and buffet
cooked by our management boys. We returned
to our house for a flaming dessert and carol
singing. The companionship between the pledges
and members at the supper was increased the
following morning by walking together to the
Commons for breakfast. That Friday we had a
decorating party for Saturday when our fortieth
anniversary and Christmas parties were rolled
into one. The pledges and members were given
gifts by Santa Claus, while Christmas carols
were sung. Winter Carnival weekend included a
informal party Friday night with the Annual
Stockbridge Snoball Dance Saturday night fol-
lowed by a buffet and party at the house. Our
snow sculpture, with the theme "the good old
days," laboriously moulded on many cold nights,
was ruined by rain. February 22nd was the be-

ginning of two weeks of initiation and its little
embarrassing moments. Everyone will remember
"Hell" night, March 4th as a "pleasant" evening?
March 9th, twenty-five pledges became members
at the formal initiation. Also that night was the
election of officers. Those elected were: Presi-
dent, Normand Label; Vice President, Robert
Allen; Secretary, Stewart Hawkins; and Treas-
urer, John Gunnery. March 12th, the Annual
Pledge Formal was held at the Roger Smith
Hotel. It was a very enjoyable evening and one
that will be well remembered. The house was
improved a lot this past year with the prime
eftbrt being placed on getting a new kitchen into
the cellar. Hopes are high of having it in work-
ing order next semester.

The new members are looking forward to
a successful and prosperous year, and with the
guidance of our Housemother, Mrs. Dempsey,
we will continue the fine spirit and tradition of
Alpha Tau Gamma.

The 22nd Little International Livestock
Show was held on Saturday, March 12, 1960, in
Grinnell Arena. Much of the success of this
year's show was due largely to the efforts of
general manager, Mr. John Ropes, a senior in
the University of Massachusetts, and Dr. L. N.
Baker, Advisor.

Twenty six contestants prepared four
classes of livestock. The winners in each class
received trophies and ribbons during the morn-
ing program. During the afternoon, competi-
tion among the morning's winners began for the
coveted Premier Showmanship Trophy. Joseph
Brouillet, Bill Tredo, James Swol, Bordan How-
land, David Belden, and Roger Howes exhibited
their prize animals like experienced showmen.
The close competition presented a problem for
the judges, Mr. Donald J. Balch of the Uni-
versity of Vermont, and Mr. Luther Belden of

Hatfield, Massachusetts. After much delibera-
tion, David Belden was named Premier Show-
man. James Swol received second honors as
Reserve Premier Showman, and Bill Tredo was
chosen for the Honorable Mention spot.

To relieve some of the tension among the
contestants, and to add a little humor, two
special events were run. The local sororities
supplied girls for the co-ed milking contest. This
turned out to be a lot of fun for everyone. Then,
showing his skill once more, Dave Belden won
the Bucking Barrel Contest, with Jon Black
placing second.

The whole show would not have been possi-
ble without the help of "Doc" Baker and all of
the Herdsmen on the University Farm. Our
grateful appreciation is extended to all who
helped to make the show a success.

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.
