When the INDEX Board decided to dedicate their book to Dr. Maxwell Henry Goldberg, they honored a leading advocate of the philosophy that "man doth not live by bread alone"; that if he tries to do so, so much the less is he a man. Now in an institution which has been con- cerned chiefly with the problem of "the loaves and the fishes," there is bound to be always a rivalry between those who regard the business of man's life as the acquisi- tion of "bread" and those who do not. It is with the latter, the dissenters from the utilitarian interpretation of man, that Dr. Goldberg long has been identified.
To Dr. Goldberg abiding values, proceeding from "the good life," alone can give significance to man and "his little day." By no accident, then, integrity, industry, assiduous application to the task in hand, tireless energy — all have their unique exemplification in Dr. Goldberg. Through these he has achieved a scholarship which has won the approbation even of a Karl Young. Hence, to all cant, politics playing, dabbling; to flippant and shallow sparkle as a substitute for hard thinking. Dr. Goldberg is a living rebuke.
Those of us, moreover, who have come to know this man are well aware that mere theory without practice can never satisfy him. Our "rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness," he has said in a recent commence- ment address, must be won again and again, if they are to be something more than formulae to which lip service only is rendered. So it is through education, right education, that we are, in Dr. Goldberg's phrase, to "re- possess ourselves, afresh, .... of our basic rights and privileges." "Democracy [must] become again democ- racy in action," as Archibald MacLeish says, "not democracy accomplished and piled up in goods and gold."
"Democracy in action," that is it; a thinking hard and lean; an integrity found in one's personal life and found, hence, in society ;— these, I know, are the principles which motivate our friend. These are the standards by which he judges his students, and for these they respect and admire him.

"On the blue rignal. .
"Magnified in importance.
While the rest of the world held its ring- side seat and waited breathlessly for the next bout in the international wrestling match, Massachusetts State College turned its back on the ring. Minds which had concentrated on foreign aflfairs during the summer again focussed on sophomore "Pats" and the first vie party of the season. M. S. C. students shut themselves away from the world and settled down to the goode olde grinde in ye towne of Amherste.
Bewildered frosh, who found themselves wearing maroon caps and "stylish" tams, soon carried a whole lot of pricked bubbles in their wake — what with hopping over numerals and serenading at 6:30 A. M. Monitored by the Maroon Key, the men of '45 had to answer for any misdemeanors to the unyielding Senate; capital punishment meant a swim in the College Pond. Freshman Reception, exclusive to the '45ers and their profs, and the Freshman- Sophomore Rope Pull (where for the first time in four years the frosh were dragged in ignominy and disgrace through the College Pond) were among major freshman functions. At the Razoo push ball game the frosh again bowed to the sophs. W. A. A. Play Day introduced coeds to sports participated in by women of
[8]
M. S. C. Gradually the class of '45 became sufficiently acquainted with campus affairs to settle down to a calm and serious life of wearing caps and tams and of remaining seated in Bowker Auditorium until their elders left.
Now on to the Big Fall News — football. This year with Walter Hargesheimer as coach and Jack Brady as captain, the club came out with balanced ledgers — one tie, three wins, four losses — and with the general feeling that football at State would remain out of the "red." Campus rallies (including Dean Lanphear's traditional advice to the "Squaws and Braves") preceded the games. Attired in snappy new outfits, the cheer leaders provoked spirit at fall games with their revamped fanfares, their acrobatic tumbling, and their indomitable "Clarky"; and the band, marching jauntily on to the field, led by strutting majorettes, added color and music to the fall turf battles. Among the battles this fall two stand out because of the beloved college tradition they represented. At the first, on Dads' Day, a holiday spirit prevailed as dads brushed against dads, attending classes, military review, and the football game against Norwich. On the second — Amherst Weekend — torrents of rain engulfed campus; the rain that Amherst spe- cially reserves for that occasion. Beginning on Friday evening with Campus Varieties, which financed Student Leader Day in March, and continuing through the Amherst-State foot- ball game and Round-Robin vie parties in the evening, the weekend proved a bit wet.
Vying with the gridiron team in popularity this year was the soccer team, which played its best season in ten years with four wins, two losses, and one tie. Not so successful in terms of victories but nevertheless right in there fighting was the cross country team for which senior Brad Greene did outstanding work.
Extracnrricnlar Extravaganza
What the morning paper is to the business man at breakfast is the "Collegian" to the M. S. C. student after convo; so, firmly shaking summer sands from tousled heads, the members of the Collegian staff hustled back to campus and published a Collegian for the con-

vocation that officially opened college. This year they made an all out effort to cover all the college news Meanwhile Editor-in-chief Lois Doubleday, having spent most of the summer struggling over the 1942 INDEX dummy, brought her "brain-child" back to a staff that, although depleted in numbers, was still more than ready to continue where they had left off the previous May. Priorities claimed some of the materials and shortened semesters worked havoc on the printing and engraving deadlines. Nevertheless, the first of May the 1942 INDEX appeared on campus. Members of the long-haired tribe of creative artists unsatisfied even with the high level of journalism as maintained in the Collegian and INDEX found in the Collegian Quarterly the vehicle for their creative work whether poetry, drama, fiction, or essay.
Meanwhile other campus activities were getting started. Doric Alviani began pumping pep and spirit into his summer-jaded musical outfits, and rehearsals started in full swing. This year their enlarged off-campus program brought the musical clubs to near-by towns, to Springfield and Boston, and to the air waves. Highlights of their campus programs were the Social Union concert and the operetta. Their good work culminated in that long-awaited, richly-deserved New York trip in the spring. The M. S. C. Outing Club, combining with other O. C.'s started fall off with a mountain climbing jaunt and spent an active year of tripping, trailing, and twirling. Matching point for point with their opponents and digging up even more convincing arguments in rebuttal the M. S. C. debating team "batted the breeze" with Amherst, Mount Holyoke, A. I. C, and B. U. New this year for the club was a freshman debating team and the attendance of the team at the Model Congress of Colleges in New England.
Director Reverend Easton, new on campus, carried on regular Sunday Vespers, coordinated the various religious organizations, and insti- gated the United Religious Conference in March. Evidence of M. S. C.'s interest in religion was the large attendance afforded Dr. Gilkey, the intense interest shown in Rabbi Cahn's course, and the hearty welcome extended to Father Walsh. Father Walsh's lectures at convocation
;io]
and before the Languages and Literature Club brought forth a large and appreciative audience. Throughout the year, Social Union and Fine Arts brought excellent entertainment to campus. Most enjoyable of all — the Chekhov players' Twelfth Night — started Social Union in full swing. Other popular Social Union per- formances were those of violinist Dushkin, the American Ballad Singers, and the three Roister Doister one-act plays. This year the Fine Arts series consisted of informal talks about poetry, painting, and music led by campus men who encouraged student discussion.
The Most Social of Animals
With fall came the hunting season and M. S. C. went after Big Game: they set their traps, lured their quarries, and, when they had them cornered, sicked their hounds upon them. Thegame, unsuspecting freshmen; the hunters, smooth sorority sisters and friendly fraternity men. Beginning on Student Leader Day in the spring with, "Say, Jack, old boy ! Why don't you come down to the house!" and continuing in the summer through the media of those "lovely letters" from upperclassmen, rushing extended its exact "season." Fall is the time for all good houses to jam closets full of trash, to hide bottles under beds, and to serve steak and chicken to freshmen with "caf "-starved stomachs. The two-week period of concentrated rushing for the men this fall netted only 47% of the class. For the coeds, however, rushing did not officially begin until a Round-Robin tea on October fifteenth; rushing was kept open with "open house" on the following Thursday and continued until November fifteenth.
Even during rushing season campus activi- ties managed to survive; and the weekend of November seventh found hordes of people, a transformed cage, men holding meters (that ticked off over seventeen thousand people), girls with gardenias, yum-yum apples, pottery piggy banks, and flowers everywhere. This all meant "Hort" Show, big fall event. As usual the Hort Show reflected the interest of the students even while it carried out a Victorian theme, and placed its emphasis on patriotism with a giant shield of red, white, and blue flowers, and fruits. Supposed to represent the

zealous patriotism of the Victorian era, the shield truly expressed the spirit of November, 1941. Fall brought scholarship convocation. Newly elected seniors to Phi Kappa Phi, seniors doing honors work, and profs all took over the stage — these and the Dean's List are a quiet reminder to the unambitious students. But scholarship was soon in the background in the excitement over fall elections, Campus politics, never completely forgotten, emerged in full view, as elections for class officers roiled up the muddy water of politics. Election day, Decem- ber fourth, saw every house on campus turned out en masse to vote.
Then War and "What Now?"
December 7, 1941! Attack on Pearl Harbor! With the entry of the United States into the war, a period of doubt and uncertainty ended; but actual fear cropped up in its stead. What now? For a few short days a wave of war hysteria almost submerged campus. Books were thrown aside for serious bull sessions. News broadcasts were fairly eaten up. The situation necessitated a special "war" convoca- tion for men alone. As they sang the Alma Mater and When Twilight Shadows Deepen, the men of Massachusetts State exhibited a vein of seriousness rarely before witnessed by convo walls. They were asked to remain in college until they were called to service, and suitable credit was promised those having to leave. Familiar khaki uniforms with crossed sa- bers were magnified in importance on campus to others as well as uniform-susceptible feminine hearts. R. O. T. C. was now a direct step to more real action. The military unit this year saw excellence in markmanship, the formation of the Sabers and Spurs Society, and promotion in rank for the commanding officers. Though this may be a war of tanks and jeeps, cavalry troops still have an important place and the usual training was continued. Ranking with R. O. T. C. was the C. A. A. group of student pilots, who, after a strict training, became available to the army. Four short days after declaration of war found campus uniforms tripping the "light fantastic toe" in Drill Hall. New war economy? No, the big fall formal — Military Ball.
[12]
In December, a Community Chest Drive consolidated the former annual Red Cross, March of Dimes, and World Student Service Fund into one extensive victory drive. This drive instigated and guided by Mr. Easton with Dean Machmer's help and cooperation set a goal at $1,500 and made it. A giant ther- mometer stationed in front of South College registered the progress of this worth-while drive.
Snow, wind, and ice brought winter sports. The boys on the hockey team, although officially an informal club, put as much spirit into their play and as much hard work into their practice as any recognized team. Fairly successful this year among official winter clubs was the basket- ball team with eight wins and three losses to its credit when Christmas vacation came along. After the exam period, the team seemed to have lost its stride though it played some mighty fine basketball against its traditional rival, the Amherst quintet, and against Wil- liams and A. I. C. Bellowed into victory by Joe Rogers, this year's swimming team chalked up a record of seven wins out of nine meets. However, the boys were not the only ones with a victorious swimming team, for the W. A. A. swimming club not only won the New England Telegraphic Meet but also won renown through its intricate water ballet. While on women's athletics, we shouldn't neglect Kate Callahan's Modern Dance Club, and for corroboration of its benefits, ask certain football players.
The last school week in 1941! Through the clear, cold air on Sunday evening sounded the notes of Chapel chimes in the carol "Silent Night! Holy Night!" Student voices, aug- mented by the band and Glee Clubs, softly picked up the melody and slowly increased in volume. This traditional carol singing, directed by Doric Alviani, was broadcast over the radio. All in all this week before Christmas vacation was a musical one. At their annual Christmas Concert the band combined with Conductor Farnham, Student Director Al Eldridge, and the Drimi Majorettes to give an excellent per- formance. Two nights later the Glee Clubs and the Sinfonietta gave a joint concert — this program has always been one of the most popular Social Unions.

Defense, Varieties, Calamity
Immediately after Christmas vacation the college organized Civilian Defense. Upon the blue signal, A. R. P. groups directed students to the nearest air raid shelter, whether Goodell Libe, Goessman Lab, or Butterfield. Particu- larly noticeable were the number of males who happened to be in the vicinity of Butterfield. In January, too, a new radio show was born, "Campus Varieties," an M. S. C. show of the air entirely student planned and pro- duced. The only faculty man concerned, Fran Pray, took charge of the technical end of production. Also student planned and pro- duced were the one-act plays sponsored by the Roister Doisters. Roister Bolsters omitted their usual winter play while Professor Rand took care of a Dramatic Workshop added to the curriculum because of student demand. Sudden calamity descended upon campus as the shortened first semester brought no official exam period but a two-weeks reign of terror with profs able and willing to give in- numerable hour exams. Suffering on campus from January 12-21 was unbelievable, but few fatalities were reported in the Dean's Office and second semester started calmly. New war econ- omy and the accelerated program created a shortened second semester to end in May and anticipated a two-semester summer course.
Friday the thirteenth and Carnival Ball. Despite Chairman Potter's public prayer for snow, there was very little of the stuff. Nevertheless most of the scheduled events — ice skating, wrestling and boxing, snow sculpture, swimming and dancing — took place. Dark- haired Anita Marshall reigned as ball queen. Campus politics again came into prominence with the March election for Senate, Maroon Key, W. S. G. A., Honor Commission, and fraternity and sorority presidents. The week of March third saw the annual High School Basketball Tournament, and on the following weekend the campus was again given over to crowds of people — the Recreation Conference. Another big weekend in March was that of the presentation of the Pirates of Penzance.

Spring and Campus Customs
Spring came early to State and with it the good old American custom of baseball, but spring sports were overshadowed by the short- ened semester and the compulsory physical education program set up for all men students. Spring track and tennis were the other usual out- standing spring varsity sports. Perhaps in- cluded in spring sports should be the weekly Tuesday morning R. O. T. C. reviews when a young army paraded up and down campus. Then came the Inter-Greek Ball, cramming the two spring balls of tradition into one evening, Greek maidens wailed when both they and their men had to buy tickets. Mothers' Day came the first of May, one week earlier than the national day, and had enthusiastic approval as students chose a typical mother. While the rest of the campus was so happily concerned with the present, some students were thinking of the future and taking care of a Freshman Handbook to guide next year's freshmen. Reward for merit was taken care of at the end of the year: at the Academic Activities Convocation, late in April, medal awards were made; at the Senior Convocation new Adel- phians were tapped; and at the Junior-Senior Processional, Isogonians tapped new members.
The sound of the chimes at 5:15, cokes at the college store. Collegians after convo, bull sessions in the Libe — but days were too full for remembering as Commencement was telescoped into two short days. Senior Convocation and the Senior Banquet as usual prepared the way for Commencement: The Horse Show, the Flint Oratorical Contest, Alumni Homecoming and parade to the baseball game, the Roister Bolster play. Torch Bearers, Roister Doister, Academic Activities, and Varsity Breakfasts, Baccalaureate, President's Reception, and Graduation — beloved Campus traditions were kept for the class of 1942. And on the evening of May 18, came their last ball — Soph-Senior Hop complete with the Chapel chimes concert.
So with shoulders square and eyes straight ahead, M. S. C. marched through '41-'42 not to the tune of "Heil Hitler" but of "There is a cer- tain valley by a river's golden stream. . . ."
"Qreek maidtni wailed. . ."
"Reward for merit. . ."
"Beloved traditioni kept.

THE PRESIDENT
"We were ready — we are serving" is Massa- chusetts State College's proud message to the world. Our college has been among the leaders in planning and mobilizing for national defense and for allied victory.
War, declared in September, 1939, dragged along as a "token" war. In June, 1940, France fell. At that time, while America still spoke of keeping out of a fighting war, this college prepared and sent to Governor Saltonstall a complete summary of how this college could aid in defending America. A College Defense CouncU was then appointed to study and report on the matter.
Since "Pearl Harbor" and our subsequent entry into the war, we have adopted an accel- erated program. This includes shortened semesters with Commencement coming on May 17th, and a twelve weeks' summer session which will continue each year through the duration of the war. This will give students their fullest college experience before they are called to industrial or military service.

R. O. T. €. AS A MAJOR
With polyandrous Bellona constantly demanding new bridegrooms, the R. O. T. C. has sprung into a sudden and eventful prominence on State campus. Commandant Donald A. Young was promoted first to the position of Lt. Colonel, then to that of Colonel; new member of the khaki department James R. Chambliss was advanced from a captaincy to a majority; and Staff Sergeant Patrick Creary retired from active duty after fourteen years of teaching.
The student section of our military department kept hitting the headlines, too. A military society, Sabers and Spurs, modeled on the Scabbard and Blade, national honor fraternity of the R. O. T. C, was formed by junior and senior cavalry majors, and automatically

included all rm'nihor.s of the advanced corps. The members, fearing' that their choice of officers might conflict with the cadet commanders chosen in the spring, did not elect leaders in the customary manner. Instead, they chose George Kimball, James Gilman, Vincent Erikson, Vincent LaFleur, Ralph Hatch, Frederick Burr, Russell McDonald, Roger Mad- docks, and Frederick McLaughlin to make arrangements for meetings. Sabers and Spurs has as its underlying motive "the imiting in clo.ser relationship of the Military Department and the corps of cadets ... of promoting military dis- cipline, courtesy, and patriotism ... of giving military majors, as educated men, the chance to take a more active part in the military affairs of the state and nation. . . ."
A great military advance gained through skillful strategy was the whole- -saie invasion of the uniform-su.sce|)tible feminine hearts at the Military Bali held December twelfth appropriately in Drill Hall. The work of Chairman Winthrop Avery's committee gladdened not only the warriors and their wenches, but the civilians and their swinging sweet- hearts. " 'Cush' for Colonel!" cried the cadets as they chose Eleanor Cushman Honorary Colonel; and, as saber blades glittered, Eleanor, with Bill Kimball escorting her, marched down the columns of "at attention," uniformed "Majors" to receive from the Colonel her military mantle and regimental pin, insignia of her office as chief reviewer of all "Mass. State Cavalry."

North to Undorliill
Eight o'clock, and the morning after! With snatches of music and faces of sweet little blondes still floating through misty thoughts. State's dance-weary but bellicose brethren on June tenth betook themselves to the military department to collect equipment and horses. Thirty- seven military majors started north on a six-weeks training trip which included a ten-day stop for firing in Northfield. Vermont, home of Norwich Cavalry. Later M. S. C.'s Modern Knights Mili- tary arrived at Underhill, Fort Ethan Allen's artillery range, and, finding the Norwich Giants there ahead of them, proceeded to engage them in sham battles. Casualties were few but included one horse tangled and mangled by barbed wire. Highlights of the trip were two night marches: one from Randolph to Barnard entailing a reveille at one A.M., the second into Amherst. Intended to give a well-rounded impression of the private's life, this trip provided K. P., Picket Duty, and Fatigue Duty for each aspiring officer.
From a slightly-censored diary, we reconstruct a typical day :
LET'S KEEP 'EM
At the screech of the whistle, Punk crawled sleepily from his bedroll, joined a moment later by Jim to go on an expedition pertaining to starved steeds. Returning, they ripped down pup tents, and rushed to breakfast. Starting at six and walking ten minutes out of sixty to rest their — horses, they reached camp at ten. Lunch! Sick call (no reported connection), followed by struggles with strategy problems. Class adjourning, Jim, Punk, and several other warriors relaxed. After retreat formation, they advanced towards supper. A double feature and a double soda in town, "Darling, Today we — ," then Z-Z-Z-Z.
It was on July twenty-first that the Maroon militarists rode out of the morn- ing fog, turned in their equipment, and joyfully headed for home.

Wlien you walk on our campus at night and see the classrooms ahght, or when you hear the drone of a motor and notice bright wings dipped in the sun, you iinow that Massachusetts State College's faculty and students are doing their share to "Keep "em flying."
For three years the students of Massa- chusetts State College have had the opportunity of becoming pilots under the Civil Aeronautics Act. This year Lewis Atwood, Daniel Carter, Paul Cole, John Dudds, Thomas Gordon (Alternate),
Robert Hobson, Walter Niles, Richard Pierce, Lester Rich, Harry Sloper, Chester Stone, Richard Symonds (Alternate) were enrolled for this training.
The course was open to both upper- class and graduate students. The ground school instructors were volunteers from the faculty. Members of this year's committee for C. A. A. included Registrar Lanphear, Dr. Anderson, and Dr. Ross. The practical work was supervised by Mr. O'Connor, manager of the Westfield Airport, where students took ground school and flight training from instruc- tors at the airport.
Twenty-four hours of navigation, eight- een hours of civil air regulations, six hours of general service of aircraft con- stituted the work of the ground school. After flying a minimum of eight hours, the student was required to make thirty- five hours of solo flight and to complete a government examination. He then be- came the holder of a private pilot's license, ready to be called on by the United States whenever necessary.

Hilarious Hazing
This year's "Welcome Frosli" greeted just three more bewildered freshmen than did last year's. Beginning September 15, the class of '45 entered a period of hilarious hazing that lasted through half its first year at State.
That this hazing was ridiculous could be confirmed by the sight of muscular freshmen daintily skipping over the numerals thoughtfully provided by numer- ous graduating classes. No less laugha- ble was the appearance of the freshman women when they wore their smart white (orphanage mode) berets pulled down chicly over their ears, and dressed their hair in the tightly-drawn style another generation has labelled that of "Kate Snatch of the needle factory."
less attractive after a mud bath
124]
The rule forbidding the use of make-up during hazing week proved tlie fear of competition felt by the safely-painted sophomore women. However an en- chanting piquancy was leant to the freshmen by the eyebrow-pencilled freck- les and lovable lisp of "Baby Day."
^Iiid and Mutiny
Less attractive after a mud bath were the men of '45 at the end of the freshman- sophomore rope pull wherein the fresh- men lost for the first time in four years. Adding 1-1 was their defeat at Razoo, determined by the outcome of a pushball game before paternal eyes on Dads' Day. Penalized for their defeat by a Senate rule requiring that they exhibit their sophisticated headgear from Thanks- giving to Christmas, a few defiant souls
rebelled, to be gently requested to appear before the Senate. To show its appre- ciation, this august body held two aquatic socials for them. The Senate honored one recalcitrant freshman by allowing him to render invaluable aid in the province of flood control by bailing out College Pond with a pail for fifteen minutes after Convo.
Meanwhile fair freshmen vacillated between saluting and snubbing dashing military men. And at times the Dairy Damsels, unduly prudent, carried um- brellas beneath a beaming sun.
To many a freshman the one consoling feature of hazing was an oppor- tunity to take part in group singing in the salubrious morning mist. Often a suitable accompaniment for the male serenaders was provided by that novel percussion instrument, a wooden paddle, plus a slightly padded resonator.

In spite of Chairman Spencer Potter's public prayers for a heavy snowfall there wasn't enough of the stuff on the ground to permit ski races to be held during Winter Carnival, but Success smiled elsewhere — from the sleekness of the prize-winning snow sculpture, "Tribute to King Winter," to the satis- fying grunts in boxing and wrestling at the cage.

"Beautiful daughters, ferocious pirates," leading the caste in Alviani-produced musical opera
"PIRATES OF PEXZAXCE

The curtain came up on "The Pirates of Penzance" on March iO; and laughs began when the dutiful Frederic said to his pirate chief, "As soon as my appren- ticeship is over, I'll turn around and annihilate you." And laughs continued through the play. The cast included the well-known Kenneth Collard as Richard, Leon Barron as Samuel, and Raymond Lynch, Jr., as Frederic. Betty Moulton, Rita Mosely, and Margaret Stanton had the leading roles of Mabel, Edith, and Ruth, while Jane Holmes and Caroline Rimbach appeared as Kate and Isabel. Major-General Stanley (Gordon Smith) and Edward (John Foley) were partners in "cut-ups." The men's and women's glee clubs, as beautiful daughters and ferocious pirates and the Sinfonietta did excellent work in accompanying.

THE DAY & THIS THE WAY . . .
With mixed feelings of elation and de- pression, members of the class of 194'2 grasped their diplomas and Prexy's hand Sunday afternoon. May 17th. Doldrums, not caused entirely by the sudden real- ization that they must now leave their benevolent foster-mother, undoubtedly sprang from the strenuous program in which they had participated the previous week. Elation could be traced to their newly-acquired status of graduates and the prospect of the Soph-Senior Hop scheduled for the following evening.
With the final military review on Tuesday, Commencement activities be- gan. The banquet had been its usual somewhat sentimental, almost maudlin, success. At the Senior Convocation new Adelphians had been tapped, the senior
oration given, and the gift to the college presented, beautifully wrapped in ver- bosity.
Under the direction of Chairman Martha Hall the Class Day exercises were held Saturday morning in Bowker Auditorium. Here the president of the graduating class, William Dwyer, had gravely delivered the mantle oration, symbolic transfer of the mantle of under- graduate tradition from his shoulders to those of Robert Fitzpatriek, leader of the class of 1943. Other orations followed: the Ivy by Martha Hall, the Campus by Herbert Weiner, and the most colorful, the Hatchet and Pipe oration, given by

Robert Triggs and William Mahan in picturesque Indian regalia. After George Langton recited the Class Ode, Albert Eldridge led the seniors (definitely in an Auld Lang Syne mood by now) in the Class Song. Class Day exercises ended when Waldo Lincoln planted the ivy along the side of Goodell Library.
On Sunday morning at eight o'clock, Baccaulaureate exercises were held in the Rhododendron Gardens and a mortar- topped audience were told how it could help the world in the present condition of crisis. For the first time in the history of the college these exercises were held on the same day as Graduation — part of the defense speed-up program. (The class of 1917 had received its sheep- skins sans sermon.) Despite this accel- eration most of the traditions were main- tained: the Horse Show, the Flint Ora- torical Contest, the Alumni Breakfasts, both Academic and Varsity, the joyous Alumni Parade to the baseball game, and the Roister Doister production.

Sophomore-Senior Hop
While the orchestra in the canopied Drill Hall alternately called for the romantic mood with dreamy fox-trots and dulcet waltzes, then the primitive with blaring brass and burning boogie-woogie beat, outside a diplomatic moon high- lighted encircling mountain ranges and the discreet luminosity of oriental lan- terns cast friendly shadows along South College and the Chapel. The breeze bowed the star-fastened atmospheric strings tenderly in the night; inside, man tried vainly to compete with nature's notes — the Soph-Senior Hop, in late spring, was almost an outdoor specta- cle, not only "ye olde gray barne" but the whole campus providing a stage. A commencement dance given by the sophomores for the senior class, the Soph- Senior tradition has been faithfully fostered by a committee from the younger class. Mary K. Haughey, Chester Mann, Muriel Barbour, William Ryan, Robert Wroe, and Milton Bass set the.

October 11 found dads dashing about campus attending lectures, peering into labs, watching their sons and daughters at work. The Dads' Day committee, including Jean Davis as chairman, Marion Bodwell, John Conley, Robert Dietel, William Drinkwater, Robert Fitzpatrick, Mary K. Haughey, Mary Judge, Thomas Kelley, Daphne Miller, Frederick Shack- ley, and H. Barbara Smith, had a varied program planned. Campus tours were interrupted at ten o'clock by a rush to the Cavalry Field where smartly clad military majors performed for their dads. After this exhibition, everyone trooped to Alumni Field to watch the lowly Frosh drill in a grand review.
That afternoon dads attended the Norwich-State football game, afterward watching the freshman-sophomore push- ball contest. This favorite Army game, a mad-cap reversal of tug-o'-war, offered dads something new in entertainment. Informal gatherings ended the day.

Smiling mothers sporting spring bouquets strolled arm in arm with their offspring around campus on a bright May morning. At their Third Annual Mother's Day, Massachusetts State College, along with the nation, paid honor to its mothers.
The day of fun planned by Co-(^hair- men Gabriel Auerbach and Edward Anderson and their committee proved entertaining but a little wearying to mothers unused to the "Mass. State stride." Campus tours, a regimental review in the morning, an afternoon in- cluding a W. A. A. dance exhibition and swim drill, and a State-Tufts baseball game filled the daytime. Mothers dis- covered Amherst in the spring and perhaps sensed that spring fever so prevalent.
High-light of the day was a Mother- Daughter Banquet at Butterfield with the table password "no men allowed." A combined musical club concert ended the day while a Sunday afternoon band concert topped off the week-end.

A mammoth horticultural shield of red, white, and blue flowers and fruit proved in keeping both with the spirit of Novem- ber, nineteen-forty-one, and with the zealous patriotism of the Victorian era — main theme of this year's "Hort" show. Flanked by great horns of plenty, this shield stood at the head of a Victorian garden where a fountain dripped water from Victorian urns. Student displays carried through the \'ictorian motif.
Over seventeen thousand people at- tended this thirty-third annual Horticul- tural Show held in the cage during the weekend of Nov^ember 7. State and Sto(ikbridge students worked out the Victorian theme under the supervision of the committee — Vin Erikson, execu- tive chairman; Spencer Potter, publicity chairman; Brad Greene, construction chairman. As in the past Professor Thayer, assisted by Professor Blundell in construction and Professor Robertson in designing, guided the entire production.

AS THE DEEP
Unmercifully ribbing a few well-chosen and, on the whole, deserving-of-raillery professors, George Langton's Campus Varieties skit, "When the Deep Purple Falls," was presented on October 31 as a means of financing Student Leader Day given in March for high school students. Audience gasped as radio announcer Ted Busing (Bob Triggs) dragged out skele- tons from classroom closets with a play- by-play description of faculty and stu- dents entering the bleachers while station announcer Graham Krackers (Tom Kel- ley) interrupted with ribald advertise- ments. Frederick Eversneeze Glips (Clarky) droned out campus secrets. Gridiron Girt (Lurane Wells) and Pru- dence Abigal Burns (Beverly Bigwood), Dean Burns' (Carl Nastri's) daughter, completed the "eternal triangle."

The long awaited weekend began Friday night, October 31, 1941, with a rally and bonfire followed by Campus Varieties.
In the usual downpour, on Saturday, State's team put up a spirited resistance against the reserve-rich Amherst phalanx. The game, broadcast over AVHYX by an announcer with an encyclopedic knowl- edge of football, ended with a score of 20-0 in favor of the Bloody "cross-town team. The State soccer team had been more successful when it tied the Amherst kickers 2-2 on Friday, even after a twi- light overtime period.
Rubber boots and corsages, utility and hyacinths, made a surrealistic combina- tion that night as the Hellenic hou.ses were flooded with guests and wet foot- prints. From eight to ten round-robin dances caused a deal of trafiic along Fraternity Row, followed by a lull when each house held a private dance.

Intersorority Ball
Jack and Jill, Little Bo-Peep— all Mother Gooseland Characters were represented at the Intersorority Ball held April 18, 1941, at the Drill Hall.
By a unique scheme of decoration which featured silhouettes of favorite nursery rime characters the Drill Hall was transformed into a childhood wonder- land. Under a shower of gaily colored balloons two hundred couples danced to the music of Kent Bartlett's orchestra. In accordance with the children's theme of the evening was the "Milk Bar" where guests could buy ice cream or milk drinks. Responsible for the success of the ball and the unusual decorations was Vi Henschel's committee — Marion Freed- man, Kate Belk, Muriel Sherman, and Betty Desmond.
A Tea Dance on the next afternoon was held at Munson Memorial Library where Norman Temple furnished the music. Decorations, planned by Frances Lappen
and Ruth Helyar, followed the same pat- tern as those at the ball.
Interfraternity Ball
With a storm of colors and the rhythmic tempos of Claude Hopkins' band, the Greek Ball shone forth as an outstanding social event of May, 1941. The Drill Hall became a glittering ball-room as three thousand revolving mirrors re- flected an ever-new flux of sparkling rainbows from colored spot-lights, and traditional fraternity banners blended with tropical plants. During the evening over six hundred patrons enjoyed the scintillating display of many colored lights, and at 2:30 the Greek brothers escorted their fair ladies homeward and returned down dark fraternity row to a routine and everyday life.
The sparkling light and music were conceived as the brilliant idea of the committee, made up of "Pop" Simons, Al Silverman, Bob Peters, Bill Kimball, and John Horgan, representatives of the 1941 Interfraternity Council.

& OKKEK HOUSE
The Inter-Greek Ball of 1})4'2 was a war- created innovation. The aecelerated col- lege program had to eliminate one spring formal and so for the first time Inter- sorority and Interfraternity Balls be- came one. On April 17. Les Kite's orchestra came to M. S. C. to provide dance music for brother and sister Greeks. In the Old Gray Barn (Drill Hall to strangers) a "Milk Bar" was established and across the way at Memorial Hall a public address system was furnished for couples who wished to sit and smoke. Checking money went to

Vic parties are to M. S. C. as haemo- globin is to blood, as bread pudding is to "Caf," as the failings of the present generation are to DocTorrey. Almost the exclusive monoply of fraternities, vie parties are limited to two a month for each fraternity though they sometimes occur oftener. Found in the pantry stronghold of a State fraternity house was this recipe for the successful vie

party: 9 dreamy records, 3 boogie- woogie ones, 2-3 dimly-lighted rooms, several couples, seasoning to taste. Wel- come relief from grind of studies and news of war were vie parties in 1942.
Informals are the answer to a be- wildered swain's plight when research reveals a dearth of crashable vie parties or other entertainment on a weekend that was never meant for strolling or poison ivy picking, either.
Study on Sat "day night? You could as well imagine Miss Skinner as con- fidante of Gipsy Rose Lee! Or Presi- dent Baker never mentioning trips to Boston! Besides, the Girlfriend's toes have been tickling all week in anticipa- tion of a bit of terpsichorean tonic, pro- vided this year by a committee of four — Paul Dwyer, Benny Freitas, Jim Bullock, and Mif Atwood. As a result of their work, Larry Francis, Bob Chaplin, Vic Curley, and Johnny Newton — among others — furnished rhythm and melody for M. S. C. and the Girlfriend.

5i»oeial Union
The appreciation and applause accorded the Chekhov Players' production of Shake- speare's comedy. Twelfth Night, at the first Social Union in October proved the fallacy of the campus axiom that Massa- chusetts State College students plus Shakespeare or fine arts equal confusion and misunderstanding. The crowded chapel seminar room at Tuesday Fine A rts programs and the welcome extended Father Walsh were added proof.
The Carolina Players' presentation of Paul Green's modern drama, House of Connelly, on December fifth had less success with Social Union goers, perhaps due to the spirit of restlessness apparent on campus as war with Japan became imminent. The final program before . Chri.stmas was the popular review of
Doric Alviani's music clubs.
Samuel Dushkin, among the most famous of the country's violinists, opened
SHAKESPEARE
the Social Union season in February. Dushkin's recital bore out his reputation of a truly fine master of the violin. On February twentieth the American Ballad Singers, emphasizing the patriotic theme, traced the course of American music from the Psalms of the Pilgrims up to modern music. The final program of the year in March again featured campus talent with plays produced by students in Professor Rand's new Dramatic Workshop.
Fine Arts
During the illness of Professor Waugh, head of the Fine Arts Council, an in- novation was made in the customary Fine Arts programs. Campus artists were en- couraged through informal discussions and illustrations of poetry, music, and painting. These programs included music hours under Doric Alviani's direction, picture hours sponsored by Professor

A SUCCESS AT SOCIAL UNION

The most fascinating oi tiie Memorial Hall exhibitions to M. S. C. students was the Family Art Show. This included work by faculty members their wives, alumni, and graduate students, ranging through most of the genres between pencil sketching and oil painting.
Not to be forgotten as an important cultural event was the three-day visit of Father Walsh. Appearing first at con- vocation on Thursday, November '27, Father Walsh in his lectures on Dante to philosophy and history students and to the Newman Club enjoyed the double success of putting across both his subject and himself.
In such programs as these Massachu- setts State College finds its deeply felt need of culture fulfilled.

Government
Government not only by the president, the dean, and the administration but also government by the students themselves — the Senate, the W, S. G. A., Class Officers, Interfraternity and Intersoror- ity Councils; government by combined student-faculty boards, the Honor Com- mission, the Academic Activities Board, the Interclass and Intercollegiate Athletic Boards. Government at M. S. C. means student governing boards as v,'e\\ as faculty governing boards; a democratic system in a democratic college. Massa- chusetts State College has a government of, by and for the students, and it has tried to keep this despite difficulties that expansion has brought.

Chief administrator, Hugh P. Baker, D.Occ , LL.D.
A glance at the increased enrollment of the college will be enough to assure any- one that the task of the administrative staff is not a small one. Dr. Baker in a report to the trustees pointed out that between the years 1930 and 1940 the student body had increased by 53% while the net cost of the college to the state was less in the year 1940 than in the year 1930. Since 1933 it has been necessary to limit classes because of lack of staff members, equipment and facilities for taking care of extra students. Although the legislature increased appro- priations for personnel of the college by a substantial sum, at the same time it decreased appropriations for maintenance and operation by practically an equiva- lent percentage. This has created a very difficult and educationally unsound situa- tion since an increasing staff has been deprived of tools necessary to carry on work.
The trustees in their meetings both here and at Boston discuss and deter- mine with President Baker general policies of the college. The task of administering these policies lies with President Baker, Dean Machmer, Regis- trar Lanphear, and the other officers of administration. Dean Machmer and Hciiistrar Lanphear control and govern students of the regular undergraduate school, and the dean acts as the go-be- tween in student relationships with the faculty and the administration. The dean, admini.strative officers, and faculty members are all in the last analysis responsible to the President.
Administrative Officers
There arc many men and women who work hard and efficiently to keep the college program running smoothly. These are the so-called administrative officers. Mr. Burke as secretary of the college and Mr. Erickson as business officer take care of much of the hiring, firing, and buying of the college. Mr.^Sievers directs the graduate school and takes

care of the experiment station, while Mr. Verbeck takes charge of the short courses, such as the Stockbridge School. Mr. Grayson assisted by Mr. Glatfelter and Miss Hamlin has charge of the Placement Service. It is interesting to note that students through the recom- mendation and help of the college earned over $80,000 in the years 1939-1940, and there has always been a high percentage of placement for students after gradua- tion. At the present time the war has brought about a shortage of specialized help in many fields, and lately it was announced that there were not enough students available to fill these vacant jobs. This year, of course, army jobs are leading the long list of positions filled by '41 graduates and the class of '42 will add another long list of names to the role of men of M. S. C. serving with the United States armed forces. Mr. Pray as assistant college editor takes care of publicity for the college not only through leading newspapers but also via radio. Mr. Hawley who is treasurer of the col- lege has an able assistant in Mr. Broad- foot. Mr. Basil Wood who might well be classed in a separate category has one special domain, Goodell Library, and there his word is supreme. Also a separate administrative function is that of the Alumni Office and it is through
the Alumni Association that many col- lege improvements — notably the two new dorms, Lewis and Butterfield — have been made possible. The Alumni Office in Memorial Hall is taken charge of by Alumni Secretary Emery who keeps wandering alumni carefully catalogued and recorded, and publishes the Aluvini Bulletin regularly.
Faculty Set-Up
The six divisions — Physical and Bio- logical Sciences, Liberal Arts, Agri- culture, Horticulture, Home Economics and Physical Education — are divided usually into two or more departments. The head of a division is appointed on the basis of seniority and merit by Presi- dent Baker with the approval of the trustees of the college. Heads of the departments also appointed on a seniority and merit basis have the responsibility of scheduling and planning all classes in their specific field and of dividing work and courses among the members of his department. Department heads are re- sponsible to Division heads and both are responsible to the President and the Trustees.

BASIL WOOD Librarian of the Colle

Standing committees made up of faculty members (sometimes combined with students) are active on campus. Committees of from three to six men and women who have a particular interest in a specific field are appointed and approved by President Baker. Some of the more important and active committees on campus are the Committee on Academic Activities which with student manager members forms the Academic Activities Board; the Athletic Board and the Honor Commission which are also stu- dent-faculty combinations; the Admis- sion and Scholarship Committee; Stu- dent Life Committee: Discipline Com- mittee. There are approximately thirty- five of the committees all together. When the national emergency arose and war was declared, President Baker had a defense board already formed so that the college program could be streamlined to aid state and national defense with a minimum of lost time and effort.

What the wings are to the pilot, what the Phi Kappa Phi key is to the genius, that is what the Senator's hat is to the college student. Having assumed the office along with the hat. Senators find themselves not only big men on campus but mentors of student life.
Although the black hat with the rim of maroon and white around the crown is

for most students the emblem of the Senate, to the freshman, the college pond seems the more appropriate symbol : even more frequently than usual this fall, the Senate held pond parties for frolicsome frosh who found it difficult to suppress the urge to wreak havoc on the long established traditions of Massachusetts State.
Quietly, yet efficiently, throughout the year the Senate did its best to improve and further our college life: by the in- troduction of a new election system call- ing for all balloting to be done in one day; by the supervision of committees for all social events; the support of the campaign to make Massachusetts State College a university; the recommenda- tion of disciplinary measures in extreme cases of individual misbehavior; the successful backing of the Community Chest Drive; and by the reorganization of the Maroon Key, the Handbook, and the cheer-leaders, along with the creation of song leaders.

W — for wide-awake, S — for suspicious, G — not for Doc Torrey's adjective, but for Gestapo, A — for Anything — thinks the victimized coed as she faces a dreary "campused" week, but the Women's Student Government Association does more than punish tardy tabbies, belated butterflies, and fractious frosh. This year it originated a Point System intended to prevent a few students from being snowed under, and to give the slightly less ambitious an opportunity to garner a few honors. The W. S. G. A. established a commuters" room at North College and House Councils at dorms to help offenders before taking them to the main council. Working for defense, it sponsored a Red Cross First Aid Course and knitting program.

Like a policeman during rush hour it is the duty of the Interfraternity Council to guide the traffic of fraternity com- petition. "Full speed ahead" was as usual the motto of each fraternity, when, early in the fall. Council members introduced uninformed freshmen to formal rushing. Since this year's rush- ing rules proved inadequate, the Council has drawn up a new set for next year.
There are three classifications on which Interfraternity competition is based- sports, extracurricular activities, and scholarship. Under the direction of the twenty-two Council members were the fraternity intra-mural sports; while in the extracurricular activities line, the Coun- cil took charge of Interfraternity Skits, Declamation and Sing, House Inspec- tion, and Winter Carnival Competition.
Under the leadership of George Kim- ball, president; John Shepardson, vice- president; and Murray Casper, secretary, the Interfraternity Council effectively upheld the ideal of sportsmanship in competition within the fraternity system.
& SORORITIES
Intersorority Council is not a cat con- clave, but a group of cooperating coed.s attempting to keep pan-hellenic relations smooth. Composed of a junior and a senior member from each of the five socially-minded sisterhoods, it meets the first Wednesday of each month to act as the sorority legislative body.
Besides its diplomatic duties, it gave a tea in the fall for the patronesses of all the houses, managed the Intersorority Sing and Declamation, presented plaques to the winner of this and the scholastic competition after patiently figuring out the sorority averages, and also took time to revise the rushing rules in order to give the rushees time to breathe and the rushers time to study. Instead of cram- ming the total tea-and-tantalizing time into one week, a w hole month was allotted. (Extensive rather than intensive farm- ing.) After a Round-Robin Tea on October 19, open house tid-bitting was held from 2:30 to 5:30 every Thursday until pledging on Saturday, November 15.
Following the tradition of senior presi- dent and vice-president, and junior secretary-treasurer, Ruth Helyar wielded the gavel, Frances Lappen seconded her, and Mary Jean Carpenter took notes and guarded the guineas.

INCREASINC IMPORTANCE
"Nineteen-forty-two has seen an unprece- dented increase not only in the size but in the quality of Academic xActivities" — so says Professor Dickinson, hard work- ing advisor of these activities. This growth has naturally increased the im- portance of the Academic Activities Board. The board made up of managers of activities, two faculty members, two alumni members, and the dean has the special duty of keeping the Glee Clubs, the Sinfonietta, the Roister Doisters, the Debating Club, the Collegian, and the INDEX functioning smoothly.
In the spring this board recognizes the work of individuals in activities by medal awards and a Conspicuous Service Trophy. A major change in ruling this year was that proposed by Professor Rand that ten credits be given to the "chief creative contributor" to an activity; these credits not to be counted into the total of two per person allowed for each activity.

Four to ten was the score of scheduled baseball vs. cancelled baseball games in the records of the Joint Committee on Intercollegiate Athletics when the college war program suddenly shortened second semester. Rearrangement of schedules resulted in the Amherst and Wesleyan games being rescheduled and three new games being scheduled with army teams. Since all but one of the tennis matches had been cancelled, it was decided in March to discontinue tennis for this year. Though rescheduling was one of its major jobs, the Committee didn't neglect its customary duties of providing big white "M's" for the chests of outstand- ing athletes and regulating athletic poli- cies including those of finances, playing fields and buildings, managerships, and special athletic presentations. A special decision of the Committee made separate positions of indoor and outdoor track managerships, thus making nine mana- gers, two faculty, three alumni, the dean, and Chairman Curry Hicks, the personnel of the Committee.

PERSOBf ALITY &
"Chieftains of the tribe," officers of the senior class, are the distinguished leaders of a distinguished group. . . . Senators, honor students, Adelphians. The offi- cers— Bill Dwyer, president; Martha Hall, vice-president; Marion Avery, secretary; Paul Dwyer, treasurer; Edmund Freitas, sergeant-at-arms; and Carl Werme, captain — held meetings throughout the year and voted on mat- ters important to the class. Besides selecting chairmen for the numerous committees, they also decided to contrib- ute money to the Community Chest and Winter Carnival and on senior entrance into the Alumni Association. The class president and vice-president, as chairmen of the Commencement and Class Day committees respectively, made arrangements for the graduation exer- cises. Despite problems caused by a war-shortened semester Commencement remained a traditional ceremony.

POLITICS MAKE PREMIERES
The officers of the class of 1943 received a vote of confidence similar to that given to the leaders of foreign nations when their classmates voted to return them to office en masse. The undefeated group were Robert Fitzpatrick, president; Mary Jean Carpenter, vice-president; Blanche Gutfinski, secretary; John Hicks, treas- urer; William E. Clark, sergeant-at- arms; and John McDonough, captain.
With last year's razzing and Hell Week, bestowed by sophomores now passed into the decadence of their junior year, still smartingly fresh in their memory, the 44 's found their chance to vindicate themselves by taking it out on the befuddled freshmen at the rope pull. The first sophomores in four years to win the rope pull they also defeated the frosh at Razoo. The class was under the expert guidance of Robert Denis, presi- dent; Cynthia Leete, vice-president;
Margaret Deane, secretary; Arthur Mar- coullier, treasurer; Edwin Fedeli, sergeant- at-arms; and James Parsons, captain.
After freshmen had lost their first im- pressions of grim and ghastly hazing by the sophs and had grown accustomed to seeing their classmates as students, they were given the chance to designate their choice of officers: Jack Coughlan, presi- dent; Anne Stafford, vice-president; Bar- bara Walker, secretary; Warren Ander- son, treasurer; Bernard Stead, sergeant- at-arms; and Gilbert Merrill, captain.
Class officers vote on class expendi- tures such as the Community Chest con- tributions; organize, finance, and appoint committees for class parties; and help plan and run Razoo. The enterprising freshman class wanted to start an in- novation— a Freshman Prom — but, be- cause of the present war conditions, authorities considered it unwise.

Interelasis Athletics
As traditionally as it wears maroon caps and white tams, each freshman class elects two of its members as four-year representatives of its spirit of sportsman- ship. These members accept election for a four-year term extending from their freshman to their senior year, and help control all Interclass Athletics.
Under the leadership of Senior Sid Zeitler, this year's eight-man board enlisted the aid of sports coaches and physical education department in a general reorganization of non-specific and antiquated rules. Freshman numerals formerly awarded only to men of winning freshman teams may now be awarded to individual freshmen who have completed their required playing time. Intercol- legiate freshman games which had previ- ously gone without rules of any kind were defined and limited specifically. The rules drawn up by the board in- cluded most of the major sports such as football, soccer, basketball, and swim- ming and promoted other sports as well.
Honor Commission
The Honor Commission, created in nine- teen-forty, this year continued its task of organizing a system of examinations that would prove suitable to replace the out- moded Honor System.
The Commission — a joint committee to which student representatives are elected by students and faculty repre- sentatives are appointed by President Baker — has a function largely "preventa- tive and advisory, rather than executive and punitive." Its methods are "in- formal, personal, and appropriate to each problem." It seeks to place respon- sibility for proper examinations right where it belongs — upon each instructor, individually. Some of its many recom- mendations were: that all quizzes and examinations should be proctored so as to protect the honorable majority from the morally weak or dishonorable "rotten apples that spoil the barrel"; that in- structors should report to the Commission each case of alleged cheating that they have; that students may report cheating without having to name the individual concerned ; and that penalty for a cheat- ing offense should be failure in the course.

ALEXANDER E. CANCE agricultural marketing and cooperation
RECOGNITION
Helped pl-»
Although M. S. C. has a horticultural department, the INDEX cannot award laurel wreaths as did the ancients, nor orchids as does Winchell, but it can call attention to faithful service.
Dr. Edward B. Holland, State graduate, has retired after a half-century of research in the chemistry department. Pioneer in work on the composition of butterfat in milk, he is also well- known for his work on insecticides, soy beans, butter spoilage, and connection of rare elements with composition of vegetables.
The clear thinking and interest in his students of Dr. Alexander E. Cance has earned their respect and affection; his researches and innova- tions including first American college courses in agricultural marketing and cooperation have been recognized by our government. He taught in the A. E. F. University, and France made him Chevalier of Agriculture.
A practicing engineer before he came to M. S. C, Arthur K. Harrison has brought an exactness to his teaching that often awes his students. Preferring landscape construction to theory, he planned Alumni Field with Curry Hicks. Pro- fessor Emeritus Waugh considers him helpful to akimni who face professional problems.

GEORGE F. FARLEY *enty-five years leader of the 4-H Club
IX MEMORIAM
Four familiar faces are gone — four whom Massa- chusetts State College loved, and there is nothing we can say, nothing but quote a few facts, weep for Adonais, and retell their deeds.
"Uncle" George Farley, for twenty-five years director of 4-H Club activities at M. S. C, died suddenly after a short illness. The Farley Club- house was his greatest achievement. President Baker, in selecting a word to use in reference to this Phi Beta Dartmouth man, chose '"service."
Miss Helen Knowlton, associate professor of Home Economics, died at home last spring. A graduate of Mount Holyoke, and head of the Department of Home Economics and Dean of Women at the University of New Hampshire, she served here since 19''24.
Professor Merrill J. Mack succumbed in North- ampton after undergoing a presumably successful operation. A son of Pennsylvania State College, he taught ice cream and butter making, and dairy chemistry here for eighteen years. He was widely known in Massachusetts for his Boy Scout work.
"Bud" Evans, formerly of the class of 1942, died December 9, 1941, in Pittsfield, following an operation. While here, he played freshman football and was a popular member of the varsity squad in 1939 and 1940.

Extracurricular
I ; -I ^ . /
Extracurricular activities have grown out of their short pants on Massachusetts State College's campus, and the growth, both in the size and in the number of student outside interests, is an excellent index of the growth of the college as it has progressed toward a university status during the last ten years.
Academic activities and other activities that have a similar educational basis, athletics, both for men and women, religious organizations, and fraternity and sorority life give to the student valuable experience in the art of living and getting along with people, and have for each as integral a part in college life as does the more formal system of education — classes, lectures, labs. ■
Academic Activities (INDEX, below), athletics are major extracurricular activities

Stepping up news coverage through the cooperation of students and faculty and an expert news staff under managing editor Stan Polchlopek, the Collegian, with efficient Bill Dwyer as editor, matured into a well-organized college' newspaper. Better student-faculty rela- tionships, cooperation with defense efforts, the expression of student opinion have been some of the more important Collegian policies.
Bob McCutcheon, associate editor, did a good job of Tuesday night workshop sessions, and George Litchfield, keeping the sports news up to date, added pep to the sports page with his G. Willie L. column. Other columnists did good work, especially the founders of the Peanut Gallery, Fitzpatrick and Hicks, with their inane but pointed remarks.
Meanwhile coeds proved their versa- tility on the Collegian. Dot Dunklee
THE COLLEGIAX
wrote general news stories and features including an interesting comment on Chief Justice Stone and his trials while at State; Alice Maguire, in her Coediting column, kept women up to date on the latest fashion developments and campus gossip; Marge Stanton worked under G. Willie L. on the sports page keeping women athletically informed and pinch hit at times for regular sports writers. Bob Nottenburg and his staff of effi- ciency experts kept the business affairs of the Collegian in good running order. During November, Bob, who is also an officer in the New England Intercol- legiate Newspaper Association, accom- panied Stan Polchlopek to the annual Associate Press Conference in St. Louis, Missouri.
Li December the Collegian staff voted on and endorsed a change in the Col- legian Constitution. This change called for two managing editors instead of one

HAS PBOGBESSIVE POLICY
and f«r two news editors. When Stan Polehlopek took over the editorship on January fifteenth, he appointed Dave Bush and Fred Rothery as managing editors and Hank Martin and George Chornesky as news editors. Dot Dunk- lee became associate editor and Ted Shepardson, sports editor. At the busi- ness board elections in February Wendell Brown was chosen to take the place of Bob Nottenburg.
Since the war, the Collegian has added its efforts to the general all-out victory policy of the college and throughout the year the Collegian, besides serving stu- dents as a reliable source of information and an active expression of their opinion, has added to the prestige of Massachusetts State College and supported its aim of becoming a State University.

THE 1942 INDEX
Steak — delicious, juicy steaks at the INDEX picnic — that is the vision that spurs on the members of each INDEX staff. With priorities, shortage of ma- terials and time holding back production, members of the 1943 INDEX Board struggled valiantly to keep copy rolling through even despite their own heavy schedules.
Editor-in-Chief Lois Doubleday got her four hours of sleep regularly every night and went through the year with her fingers crossed and with the prayer that fate and professors would be kind. Meg Marsh found time between poultry exams to take some 26.5 senior informals. Her board, Henri Kreczko, Joe Bornstein, and Arnold Kaplinsky who often found other work too pressing, developed and printed most of these and helped with the taking and printing of most of the other informal shots.

STAFF HAS INDIAN TROUBLE
sin, Betty Coffin, and Marcia Greene had a wrestling match witii the Indian motif but eventually came out the win- ners. Although Jean McNamara took up the work of literary editor late in the year, she did a fine job of keeping her board on their toes — Rudy Mathias, Lee Filios, and Annette Bousquct who practi- cally moved into the INDEX office caught up on late copy and kept it going to the presses even after the rest of the board had finished their work. The statistics board after loosing two editors finally settled down to routine work with Charlie Geer as nominal editor and Helen Donnelly as his chief aide. Their efficient board, Sally Boyden, Marion Thomson, Florence Daub, and Bob Keefe, did the
huge mass of typing and checking in record time. George Litchfield forming a one man sports board did all the sports division work.
Throughout the year Gould Ketchen took charge of finances and business of the book and with the energetic encour- agement of Professor Dickinson and the work of his board, Fran Lappen, Charlie Geer, Mel Small, Doc Freeman, and Bob O'Shea, did an efficient job on advertise- ments, sales, budgeting, scheduling, and making out orders.
The board's expression of gratitude to Doctor Goldberg may be found in the dedication of their book.

LONG-HAIRED LITERATI
"O come, Gentle Muse," entreats the weary underclassman racking his brain for a neat phrase, a catchy title. On the basis of M'hat he can produce in the literary line this future Longfellow will be rated along with others in competition for the Collegian Quarterly Staff. Once a week competitors are recjuired to pass in an article which must be one of the fol- lowing three types: creative, critical, or technical. At the beginning of second semester, those who have striven dili- gently are rewarded by becoming mem- bers of the staff. In addition one Sopho- more is advanced from ordinary crew to the associate editorship recently held by a Junior who automatically becomes com- mander-in-chief.
Editor Mary Donahue, with Associate Editor Robert Fitzpatrick, had as her staff Seymour Koritz, Theodore Noke, Phyllis Peterson, Annette Bousquet, and Brad Morton. The entire staff discussed material contributed by faculty, students and alumni but the final decision of
whether it should be printed or not was left to the editor-in-chief.
The three Quarterly editions of this year, one in the fall, one in mid-winter, and one in spring, contained poetry, prose, and fiction selections.

This left bewildered freshmen seeking the Old Chapel in the vicinity of Wilder Hall, and wondering what the songs and cheers mumbled at football games were.
Annual winter competition brings the compilers of the multi-varied articles in line for the Handbook board which is un- limited. Each member of the board is assigned to one section of the book and is responsible for gathering and writing all the data in that section — student government, customs, social, religious,
INFORMATION PLEASE!!
Two by four inches and one hundred and fifty pages of compact, accurate data about what goes on and who's who on the Massachusetts State College campus is presented to each information-seeking freshman in the form of the Freshman Handbook. The purpose of the Hand- book is to orient incoming freshmen to
academic, and athletic activities. The book is written during the spring and printed during the summer. Anderson, Greenspan, Mary Martin, Hemond, and Allen with Wes Shaw as editor did the work of compiling and distributing the book which, even though late, was welcomed by still wondering and wandering Freshmen.

A SEMESTER'S
'Twas thirty years ago that the name "Roister Doisters," borrowed from the roguish Ralph of an early university play, was adopted by the M. A. C. Dramatic Society. This year, after a semester's rest, the Roister Doisters, scorning the theater's traditional super- stition, presented an interclass contest of student-directed, one-act plays for the Social Union on Friday, March 13th. The sophomores, under the direction of Gordon Smith, offered Sham by Frank G. Tompkins; the seniors. Love and How to Cure It by Thornton Wilder under the tutelage of co-directors David Burbank and George Langton; and the conquer- ing juniors, coached by Fran Ward, The Dear ^ Departed by Stanley Houghton. Professor Frank Prentice Rand pre- sented to the winning cast, Agnes Gold- berg, Lurane W'ells, Don Wood, Beverly Bigwood, Murray Caspar, Larry New- comb, copies of American Folk Plays.

REST FOB ROISTER ROISTERS
In 1940 the Roister Doister production for High School Day and Coninience- ment was George Bernard Shaw's Hecirl- hreak House, in 1941 Kaufman and Hart's George Washington Slept Here, and, in 194'2, George Kelly's "roll-'em- in-the-aisle" satire on the little theatre movement. The Torch Bearers, lent added joy to Commencement and the com- bined High School and Mothers' Day. The first of three hilarious scenes con- cerns itself with a line rehearsal at the home of a substitute leading lady. Actors boomps-a-daisy, mix their lines, fail to heed directions, and in general reproduce any amateur theatricals. The second scene presents every backstage catastrophe possible to aspiring hams; the third attempts to clear up all the problems. The fun of the play consists not so much in wisecracks as in eccen- tricities and in recognition of the types of people who go in for such pork leg.
Giving the backstage view of an amateur production are Jack Sherman as Mr. Frederick Ritter, Don Wood as Mr. Huxley Hossefrosse, Arthur Monk as Mr. Spindler, Dave Burbank as Mr. Ralph Twiller, Fran Ward as Teddy Spearing, Larry Newcomb as Mr. Stage Manager, Marjorie Cushman as Mrs. Paula Ritter, Marion Nagelschmidt Jones as Mrs. J.

SYLLOGISM & REBUTTAL

Wci"'^''
Choosing for its questions this year the timely ones proposed by the National Debating Societies, including questions on war and labor problems, the Debate Club realistically faced issues.
As an aid to teaching its members the art of presenting logical arguments elo- quently, the twenty-odd debaters were divided into a freshman team concentrat- ing on the fundamentals of debate and an upperclass one endeavoring to im- prove its already acquired facility in syllogism and rebuttal. The beginners debated within the club and with the fresh- man teams of other colleges, including the undergraduates of Norfolk Prison Colony, while the varsity batted the breeze in college and local discussion groups.
For the first time M.S. C. was repre- sented at the Model Congress of the Col- leges in New England and the national contest sponsored by the American Eco- nomic Foundation; while a trip through the South served to ascertain opinions of other colleges, and spread M. S. C.'s fame.

Dynamic Doric directing a bigger and better Sinfonietta found skeptical States-
men applauding enthusiastically for en- cores. Under an efficient manager, Mary Berry, it expanded in one year from twenty-five to thirty-six members, the freshmen enlarging the brass and string sections. A string quartet, which made its debut at the orchestral convocation, was well received at local programs.
At Convocation on November 6 the Sinfonietta presented a variety of selec- tions— some Tschaikowsky, Franz Lehar's Merry Widow Waltz, Rose Marie by PViml, and a bit of Wagner. It was featured at the combined Glee Club con- cert at Social Union on December 16, and on March f20 and 21 it success- fully accompanied Pirates of Penzance.
As just reward for the players' good work they took outside trips : on Novem- ber 12 accompanying the Men's Glee Club to South Hadley Falls, and on February 9 performing in Turners Falls at the request of Senator James Gunn.

BETTER MUSICIANS STRIKE
With drab raincoats covering their maroon uniforms, members of the band, spirits undampened, presented a true picture of "loyal sons of Old Bay State" at the Amherst-State battle royal. Al- though the band with its pretty major- ettes and its expert formation marching always calls forth a bit of neck-stretching at football games, spectators at the Tuft's game watched with amazement as the members went on a lay-down strike to spell out Y-E-A T-E-A-M. Always the instigator of spirited student support at football games, the band proved the backbone of the cheering section.
The Over There Overture, most difficult of the band's repertoire and most appro- pos, was excellently performed at the Christmas Concert, under the direction of regular conductor. Charles Farnum. That same evening the band added
something new to this annual concert by accompanying the traditional student carol sing. As usual the band played at the Veterans' Hospital in Leeds the week before its Christmas appearance, and in February it made a second out- side trip in order to appear at Westover Field. At Convocation the last week in February, the band brought its new Glockenspiel to the foreground in the march Chimes of Liberty. The well- planned program included a favorite arrangement of southern melodies and the difficult .1 Day at West Point. Leo Moreau was trumpet soloist at the Ch^ristmas Concert, and Robert Radway played the cornet solo selection at the Convocation Concert. Going on the assumption that students appreciate the more beautiful things in life, the band also featured Drum Majorettes Jean

Although the accelerated study pro- gram and shortened semester kept Man- ager Willis Janes on his toes getting members to rehearsal and keeping sched- ules straight, the band gave all its sched- uled performances even including the spring concert given on Mothers' Day.

Closely connected with the (ilee Clubs are the eight Bay Staters and the six Bay Statettes. These two groups may, according to Maestro Doric Alviani, vdtimately merge to form a miniature glee club. Really the stars of the Glee Clubs, members of these two groups appeared frequently along with the Glee Clubs — at Turners Falls, at Westfield, Boston, and, of course, New York. Both groups were well-received, especially, no doubt, the Bay Statettes, at Fort Devens where they gave a variety con- cert for the U. S. O. The popularity of both these hard-working groups has grown immensely since their debut at the musical clubs Social Union.

STATESMEN & STATETTES
Statesmen
Four boys in white ties and tails "pro- claiming far and near the peerless fame" of our alma mater, need anyone know- more to guess that these are the States- men? The Statesmen . . . that quar- tet that sang for students and alumni, in city and town, bringing good music wherever they went. The members, Bralit, Mendall, Foley, and Whitney, have worked hard to continue the States- men tradition of the best music for audiences whether large or small, old or young. Music Week, Social Union, High School Day, the quartet was always there singing, joking and entertaining.
During the winter the Statesmen sang over the radio from W. B. Z. in Springfield, from W. H. Y. N. in Green- field and at home from States tower studio. They sang at concerts with the other musical clubs, at the musical clubs' Social Union, and at the Hotel Kimball in Springfield. Spring found them, after that important New York trip, busier than ever, with appearances in Spring- field with the combined musical clubs, in Boston, and in Westfield.

Statettos
Always the more alluring counterpart of the Statesmen have been the Statettes. This year, however, saw their number reduced to that of a trio when Gladys Archibald graduated. The trio — Betty Moulton, Peg Berthiaume, and Marge Stanton — sang at the musical clubs' Social Union, at concerts in Turners Falls, Shelburne Falls, and Ayer: made trips to sing before Alumni groups in Springfield, Boston, and New York; be- sides making several radio broadcasts. Their light, rhythmical pieces proved as popular at off-campus functions as for campus functions. Big event of the year for the Statettes as well as the other musical groups was, of course, the New York trip that came in the middle of second semester.
This June two of the charter members of the group — Peg Berthiaume and Betty Moulton — will leave the campus trio to form a Statette Alumni Trio with Gladys Archibald. But, along with the States- men, Statettes have formed a vital part of M. S. C.'s musical life.

"The students of Massachusetts State College bring you Campus Varieties." Many a Thursday afternoon in 19-l'-2 this familiar phrase issued from the Tower Room high in South College. Radio- minded students created a new precedent in ethereal activity on campus when previous years' unsuccessful attempts to produce drama were supplanted by a variety show. With the exception of college editor, Fran Pray, who super- vised the technical end of the production and handled the controls during actual broadcasts, this was a "hands off" affair as far as faculty were concerned. Interested students designed and executed the entire program.
A good portion of praise goes to John Vondell "43, who was most directly responsible for the coordination of these programs. This was only a stepping

stone for John, who handled the an- nouncing, since he plans to make radio his life's work. Among other students who participated actively were Marge Stanton '43, who was chief cook and bottle washer in the music department. She presented many campus musical notables such as the college band and various singing groups. Our own "Dr. I. Q." was unearthed in the form of Quizmaster George Litchfield '42 whose specific duty was to run a "quiz show to end all quiz shows." Contestants ranged from R. O. T. C. cadet officers to a trio of home economics majors. Also presented regularly was a radio edition of the Collegian that featured frequent inter- views with students outstanding in campus activities . . . Basketball Star Bokina, Carnival Queen Anita Marshall. Although more than twenty-five students participated in these weekly broadcasts, especially active were Winifred Day, Robert Doolittle, John Foley, Dick Smith, and Robert Holmes.

Cacoowah! echoes the barbaric cry from the slopes of encircling mountains as the plaid-shirted and dungaree-trousered Out- ing Clubber hails his scattered com- panions. Based upon the premise that "the primitive has always appealed to

the cultured mind (Pat's)," State's O.

Busy taking part in 5-college trips, running barn dances, and short hikes almost weekly — it saved Mountain Day by substituting guided hikes for the administration-cancelled tradition.
Though few long trips were under- taken (in order to aid the National De- fense Program by conserving tires and gasoline) the State Outing Club did not stint its members in other joys — the muffled slap of skis on a powder snow, crooning ripples from a rhythmic paddle, breathless companionship on a steep slope, sweetness of rest after strenuously battling Nature, harmony by a fire, and "Swing your i)artncrs!" in the dance.

Non-varsity sports leaped into sudden prominence as America entered upon an active war program. Two plans for voluntary physical recreation — one in the late spring and one in the early fall of 1941 — had been abandoned because of absolute lack of student support, and, as the need for more complete conditioning

of men who must eventually take up a military life grew apparent, a compulsory physical education program was resorted to in March of 1942. Sports in this program consisted of swimming, soccer, football, cross country, and six-man football. Men who were members of varsity squads were, of course, exempt.
Although spring sports were dropped because of the compulsory program of activity, a normal fall and winter intra- mural program went along well and brought its usual amount of fun and excitement to spectators and participants. Interfraternity athletics received the most attention with greater activity and wider participation than any other informal sport.
Honors for the school year of 1940-1 went to Alpha Epsilon Pi. Closing event last spring was the softball tournament in which Tau Epsilon Phi just edged Alpha Gamma Rho.

Winter sports saw Phi Sigma Kappa and Sigma Alpha Epsilon splitting honors. The former took the finals of the basket- ball tourney, while S. A. E. was victorious in volleyball. Directorship of these sports was under Sid Kaufman of the Physical Education Department, with Henry Thornton assisting in the administration.
In the other angle of intramurals, interclass sports (which fall under the jurisdiction of a student elected Inter- class Athletic Board), activity was lim- ited this year to the two lower classes. In the fall, the teams split: the yearlings winning in football; the freshmen proving victorious in soccer.

An "in and out" football team with a record of three wins, four losses and one tie was the result of the new coaching regime at State. But, general feeling gives the 1941 club credit for more "in than out," and the opinion prevails that State football fortunes are on the up- swing.
Credit for this rejuvenation goes to head coach Walter Hargesheimer who came here in the late spring of 1941 to take over a strange group and introduce a new system of play. Captaining this year's club was John Brady, '4'-2, recipient of last year's Pond .\ward. Johnny showed the enthusiasm and inspiration of a real leader, putting in as many playing minutes as any man on the squad.

SEEN ON STATE CRIDIRON
The opener at Springfield College ended in a 6'-6 tie but showed a team that had ability to go places. The following week it had picked up enough to edge Con- necticut by an 8-(i count. Norwich earned only one touchdown and the "20-0 score shows only the superiority of the Horsemen, not the great battle put up by the Statesmen. The Rhode Island game was really an "out" day; nearly half of the regulars left the game on injuries. But the Hargesheimer club turned around and made it a State field day the following week against the Worcester Engineers with score of 3'2-0.
Hopes were high for the town game with Amherst. But the weather was bad and the battle hard fought with a result- ing State so worn down that the Sabrina's stream of fresh reserves gave them a 20-0 victory. The team next experienced a really "in" day when they traveled to Brooklyn and came out of a thriller ahead by 33-19. In the season's closer, the Statesmen lacked the necessary spark to hold an average Tufts aggregation. Each club got one six-pointer on an intercepted pass, and the Jumbos earned one more to win 14-7.

In addition to Captain Brady, a valuable group of seniors will be lost by gradua- tion. In the backfield Freitas, Seery, and Bullock have all been standout players for four years. The last men- tioned has played all positions in the backfield, Seery has been a running half, while big Benny Freitas was a plunging fullback. Both of these boys have done a lot of passing. Senior ends were Paul Dwyer, retired from service by a jaw injury in the Worcester game, and George Kimball. In the line, Carl Werme and Jim Oilman were a dependable pair of tackles. Carl has been a stalwart for four years, while "Hank" was a third string back who had never seen much play until this year's shift to the line slot. The emergency situation of the country leaves the athletic setup rather in doubt. However, disregarding the draft, there are a nmnber of veterans available for next year. Outstanding was junior Gil Santin who was presented the Allan Leon Pond Memorial Award at the close of the
1941 season, in addition to being elected co-captain of the 194'-2 club. The other half of the combination is John McDon- ough, a rugged guard who plays a hard game. Linesmen who remain include Storozuk, Pushee, Clarke, Dunham, Morton, Warner and Englehard. In the backfield, available lettermen include Ryan and Masi, both creditable signal callers, plus Santin, Salwak, Larkin, Fedeli and Forrest.

GREENE IS OUTSTANDING IN
Bill Kimball, track captain for two years
Only one man of the 1941 cross country team lived up to pre-season expecta- tions and finished out in front con- sistently. This man was Bradford Greene, a senior, who, although running as a regular member of the team the year before, was never a really stand-out hill and dale man until this year. The
other members of the team joined be- hind him for one victory, although they were edged only by small margins in their other two dual meets. Wiry Russ McDonald ran a close second to Brad most of the season. Captain Kimball and sophomores Newton and Caldwell were the other men who ran regularly in the first five. Bill Kimball, serving his second year as leader of the club, failed to reach the form which he displayed in his two previous years, but did continue to add pep to the club. George Caldwell and Earle Newton were two sophomores who easily won their letters. Others who ran last fall included seniors Hal Mosher and Eric Greenfield, sopho- mores Lloyd Fitzpatrick and Joe Born- stein.
The season's opener was run at Boston on the Franklin Park course. Greene took first in the race, Newton fifth and the other team members were just far enough back to give the locals a 31-24

loss. At W. P. I. things were turned around as a triple tie between Captain Kimball, Greene and Xewton edged the Techmen 'il-'ii). Ties seemed to be the thing as in the final dual meet with Springfield, McDonald and Greene tied in third place, while Kimball, Mosher, Newton, and Caldwell were together in seventh place. The place of State in the Connecticut ^'alley Meet at New London was third as a result of Greene's eighth position out of thirty-five.
Russ McDonald placed thirty-ninth in the New England Intercollegiates again at Franklin Park. He was closely followed by Greene who captured the forty-third slot. Newton, Kimball, and Mosher followed to give the team a tenth place.
Russ McDonald, elected captain of the 194''2 club, and two other lettermen will be returning, besides re-enforce- ments from the class of '4.5 in the form of Ray Campbell and Dave Hunter, to

A SUCCESSFUL SEASON FOR
Fitchburg suffered a 3-1 loss in this game
Having one of its best years since the undefeated team of 1931, State soccer forces closed last fall's campaign with four wins, one tie and two losses. Prov- ing that the 1940 season was a building up year, a number of juniors and seniors came into their own, with several sophomores helping out.
The club started out with a 2-0 de- feat of the Rensselaer team. The Engi- neers were good, but State revenged last year's whitewashing. Two defeats followed in succession: the University of Connecticut defeated the Maroon for the first time in over a decade; and mud and rain, several injuries and a superior Indian squad gave Dartmouth a 5-0 win.
Experimenting with his forward line, Coach Briggs seemed to find a winning combine, for the club rolled over all but one of the remaining opponents. Coast Guard was decisively whipped, and Trinity neatly downed before the Amherst game arrived. In this contest, both teams fought hard, with State scoring first arid holding a one point lead until the Sabrinas tied things up in the final period. Fitchburg was the last victim as the seniors polished oft' their career with a 3-1 win.

SOCCER TEAM
Besides Captain Erickson, Miillany, Arnold and Hibbard have been with the club for three years, while Potter was a standout player for the last two seasons. Other seniors were McLean, Andrew and Tewhill. In the junior class, rangy Ed Podolak was perhaps the most essential cog of the Briggs' machine. From his fullback position, he served as field general. His playing and leadership qualities gave him the captaincy of the 194'2 team. Howie Bangs back in the goal was a good defense man, while Gizienski and Callahan up forward were valuable as scoring threats. Other junior letterman was Clint Allen. A large group of yearlings saw service with several regulars. Giannotti, Surgeon, Trufant, Hebert and Kokoski all started many games; Walker was the other letterman.
Post-season commendation came to the team in the choice of Potter and Podolak to the New England coaches ALL team.

BASKETBALL
Good material and good coaching gave the 1941-2 basketball club a fairly suc- cessful season with eight wins and six losses. But the entire year didn't pro- duce a working combine which could score consistently. DofEng the mole- skins for sweatpants and rubber soles, Coach Hargesheimer took over imme- diately after the gridiron sport finished up its schedule. Assisting him were freshman coach Fran Riel and manager Ed Rosemark.
The first quintet and most of the second numbered veterans from last year's squad. Giant Thaddeus Bokina once more domi- nated the play and led in points scored. j^et Although it took him several games to regain his shooting eye, he was valuable as a set-up man. Senior Mike Frodyma

started off the season with a burst and through the season showed the best floorwork of the group. Tom Kelly covered the other forward position. Guarding the back court was the com- bination of Maloy and Podolak, both hard-playing veterans. Substitutes who saw much service were center Wall, guard Triggs and forwards Santin and Bubriski.
Play started off rather raggedly at the beginning of the season. Three games were scheduled before the Christ- mas recess, and the Statesmen were victorious in all. Starting slowly, they had achieved quite a degree of smooth-
ness by the last of this series. The second game, played down in Worcester with Clark University, was really a sur- prise, as the locals won by 48—41 and held high scoring Ziggy Strzelecki to eleven points.
Coming back after vacation, the club had lost much of its polish and dropped the first encounter of 1942 to the Spring- field Maroons. However, they gradually came back and took Amherst, Williams, and A. I. C. successively. Following this came the two-week lay-off period

Al- though the boys started ott' the next series with some spirited play against high scoring Rhode Island, the lay off seemed to have broken their stride as play was erratic for the remainder of the year. The score in the Ram affair was 83-68 and the local rooters couldn't help but enjoy the smooth shooting of Coach Keaney's Rutledge, Shannon and Mod- zelewski. With several spots of sloppy playing, the Maroon Club dropped the next two to Tufts and Coast Guard. Then, against Wesleyan, Tad Bokina came through to win the game almost single-handed with twenty-eight of State's fortj'-nine markers.
The schedule finished up with two games over the last week end in February. The first, played at home, saw the quintet lose to the Boston University Terriers by the close count of 36-34. B. U. was obviously oft' in the first half as they chalked up nine points to State's twenty- five. But, in the second half, it was the locals who seemed to be off as they racked exactly nine points while the

Engineers at Worcester. 64-55 was the count as Tom Kelly reached his high mark for the year with twenty points and Bokina added another fifteen to his record. Maloy also scored fourteen and the defense of the team seemed to be really working.

ROCERSMEN-
The record of Coach Rogers' 1941-'-2 swimming outfit resulted in that team's once again holding down top position in the win record book. And the ]94'-2 Index refrains from beginning with a tribute to Coach Rogers himself only because the last two books have begun their enthusiastic laudations with the phrase, "Miracle coach of New England."
The spirit of the boys should be the first thing mentioned in a write-up of the year, for the successful season did not lie in massed team strength. As in the last few years, the story is of a handful of outstanding swimmers, switched about, aided and abetted by the rest of the club and bellowed to victory by sagacious Joe.
Top name, of course, has been that of Captain Joe Jodka, who twice this year

cracked his own New England breast- stroke record and as many more times restrained himself because of the necessity of swimming in at least one other event and usually two. His free style, almost as strong as his chosen event, more than once resulted in a win in the four hundred yard relay.
Close behind Joe in both versatility and records broken was Sophomore Bud Hall. His special events were the one hundred yard and two-twenty yard free style in both of which he lowered records; even broke his own marks.
In addition. Bud filled in for other free style swims on both relay teams.
The other of the big three in Whitcomb Pool was George Tilley "4.3, co-holder of the New England backstroke record. George swam his own distance very successfully and was ever ready to help out in the relays and occasionally in the 440 free style event.
Several others did some good swimming to make this squad a winning one. Win Avery was a senior who placed con-

Dolby, Carl Ransow, and Kirby Hayes filled in to good advantage.
So interesting to the student body has swimming become that a summary of the season is almost unnecessary. Before the Christmas recess, the locals took over W. P. I., although many members of the squad were far from good condition. The 1942 section of the schedule found the lads really rolling as they took over every opponent except Yale University's national swimming champsionship team. And in that defeat, the mermen covered themselves with glory as they came far nearer a win than anyone foresaw.
Several other battles were dangerously close, but Joe Rogers' dexterous juggling of his men brought wins in dual meets over Williams, Conn. U, Wesleyan, Coast Guard and Bowdoin. A triangular vic- tory came at Cambridge against M. I. T. and W. P. I. Going into the New England Intercollegiates, held this year at Amherst College, the team was again handicapped by its lack of quantity, but made up for it in ((uality to take a third place just behind Amherst and Springfield.

ACTIVE YEAR FOR STICKMEX
Officially, the State hockey club may be informal, but the boys certainly put just as much spirit into their play and just as much hard work into their prac- tice as any recognized team. The coach this year was Tommy Filmore, former Springfield Indian player, who was hired at the suggestion of Eddie Shore, man- ager of that club. He worked hard producing clubs for both State and Stockbridge.
Personnel for 1941-''2 edition read much the same as last year's, with Atwood and Young guarding the nets. In front of them for defense were Colella and Grogan, and a forward line made up most often of Fitzpatrick, Gaumond and Thayer. Others who saw action were Baker, Forest, White, Yetman, Leland, Anderson and Rhodes.
Games throughout the season were pretty well controlled by the supply of ice. Coach Filmore pitted his own two teams together three times. Blue-clad Stockbridge club showing the better

TWO TRACK TEAMS FEATURE
Spring track distance runner, Chet Putney
The 1941 Spring Track picture shows a few outstanding performers but, on the whole, a combined team lacking the neces- sary strength for consistent point gather- ing. Outstanding among last year's group of stand-outs was Ed O'Connor.
Angular Chester Putney was a sure thing in the mile run and frequently filled
in for the 880 yard run. These two men, plus pole-vaulter Bill Warren, were the only scorers lost by graduation; and, in the fall, jumper Alan Bell left school.
The weather was very cold and Boston University just too strong in the opener at Nickerson Field. But there was a bright spot in the meet when Chet Putney established a record in the mile run with a time of 4:32.7. The State win came the next week in a home meet with Trinity. Putney again starred by taking his own event and the half mile. Tufts and Con- necticut University proved far too strong in the last two meets of the season. How- eyer. State stand-outs such as O'Con- nor, Putney, Warren, Gare, Wall, Bell, and Greene continued to capture their share of the points. Although Coach Derby sent only a small squad to the Eastern Intercollegiates, several of the better Maroon men did land in the scoring.

MAXY STARS • •
First in two dual meets, a close second in the triangular and a handy first in their only relay run was the record which established a successful season for the 194'2 winter tracksters.
Donald Parker, long-legged sophomore, was the season's "find," as he broke the college record for both the six hundred and one thousand yard runs. Several other outstanding individuals were notice- able on the club, and the team seemed to possess the largest amount of team strength which State has ever put forward .
Among the individual stars was Bill Wall, who broke the college record by tieiag with Underwood of W. P. I. with the bar at six feet. General utility man Brad Greene ran the six hundred, hurdled and high jumped, scoring more than his share of points in all of them. Stan Hood, Don Walker and Charlie Warner starred in the sprint and hurdle department. Other runners included Joyce, Graham, Filios, Caldwell, Freeman

WEAK SPOT OF
Former State athlete, Fran Riel, '39, took over the coaching vacancy of the 1941 varsity baseball club with an aver- age amount of good material available. However, he failed to find an air-tight infield combination. Pitcher trouble was perhaps the one outstanding factor which resulted in only three wins in fourteen starts for the 1941 varsity baseball club. Of the Maroon team's three wins, Herb Gross received credit for a 6-4 score in the opener with the Connecticut Uni- versity team ; Bullock got credit for a 7-4 defeat of Union; and five games later southpaw Bangs took the U-Conns a secpnd time with a 5-4 win.

seasons, left the other co-captain. Hank Parzycli, as the only senior starter.
The outfield department of the club included lettermen Triggs, Freitas, Sparks, and Miles. The first two, with sophomore Bower, made the most fre- quent starting combination. In the in- field, Parzych at first and Maloy at short were regular starters; second base was shared by Mullaney and O'Brien; and third, also a dual affair, found Mahan and Kelley fighting it out all season for the keystone corner. Surest player on the team was little Matty Ryan, who handled the back stop work during the season.
His dependable playing and high batting average of .420 led to his being picked as the recipient of the E. Joseph Thompson award. His stand-in was husky Frank Spencer. From the roster of pitchers, sophomore Gross stands out as the main- stay. Bangs, another sophomore, saw service as much as any of the staff. The list of relief pitchers included Bullock, Thayer, Kimball and Shackley. Of this list of playing members. Captain Parzych, Miles, Green, and Spencer were the only ones to graduate.

As for Herb — well, enough to say he appeared in eleven of the fourteen games and made a good showing every time.
In the opener with the Connecticut University team it was Herb who re- ceived credit for the 6-4 victory. Soon afterwards Jim Bullock got a recorded win for a 7-4 defeat of Union. To com- plete the trio of wins southpaw Howie Bangs, five games later, took the U- Conns a second time with a 5-4 win. The rest of the season cannot be called a total loss for, although many of the games were characterized by sloppy fielding and low reserve pitching strength, State's team seldom got beaten by more than three runs. The early season tilt with Bowdoin was a good example of this; the Polar Bears just edged Riel's team by 6-5, despite two singles and a double by Freitas. Another heart- breaker was pitched by Sumner Green near the close of the season when he held Wesleyan to six scattered hits but lost by one run.
The 194'-2 season sees Fran Riel, '39, continuing as mentor, and outfielder Ed Sparks, '42, as captain.

XETMEN LACK PRACTICE
State's rejuvenated tennis team had only one letterman in attendance wlien Coach Sid Kaufman started practice on a rainy April afternoon in 1941. Two factors — lack of experienced material and short- ness of the pre-game practice — were undoubtedly those which resulted in the poor win-loss showing. The University of ^'e^mont caught the Statesmen rather unprepared in the first match and made a clean sweep with a 9-0 score. Following the Catamount invasion, the Maroon Club lost to Connecticut University 7-'2. The third and fourth matches resulted in two more whitewashings at the hands of Springfield and Trinity respectively.
Best individual playing of the club was shown by Captain Ed Anderson whose spirited play and leadership earned for him the honor of being the second to have his name inscribed on the Paul Stearns Putnam Memorial Cup. Of the 1941 lettermen, Lacey and Graham showed the best playing and were elected co-captains

In this respect they are not in my mind any less true sportsmen. They are just less hypocritical. After all, the incentive in competition is to win, not to lose."

RELIGION
IJ.R.C. HOLDS €OXFEREX€E
How Congress serves the varied interests of the country — those of the industrial East and the agricultural Midwest — that's how the Religious Council serves the sometimes antipodal attitudes of the various faiths on campus. Comprised of representatives from the Newman Club, Menorah-Hillel, and the Christian Federation, it plans and executes inter- faith activities of the college.
The Council has two major functions, sponsoring the weekly Sunday afternoon Vesper services and the annual religious conference. Among the Vesper speakers highlighting subjects of contemporary interest to .students was Reverend James T. Cleland of Amherst College who delineated Christmas in Germany at the pre-Yuletide service. At March IGth's Conference, Father John T. McPherson of Holyoke. Dr. James G. Gilkey of Springfield, and Dr. Henry Sloninsky of New York considered the theme, College Youth Faces the Future, in the Old Chapel, and led discussion afterwards. Reverend Easton, new Religious director, expertly
handled Council activities with the aid of officers — President Kay Duffy, Vice- President Brad Richards, Secretary Dan Balaban — and members Herb Weiner, Paul Dwyer, Spence Potter, Fran Lappen, Bob Fitzpatrick, Lilian Politella.

Not a group of halo-wearing holier-than- thous, but an organization of college men and women attempting to help others, the Christian Federation is theoretically composed of all students following neither the Catholic nor Jewish faiths. In practice, it consists of only those Prot- estants who are sufficiently interested to attend its varied and stimulating pro-
activities included a monthly Friday night supper and speaker, and Freshman dis- cussion of such subjects as Science and Religion and Christianity in Our World. The Cabinet, President Spencer Potter, Vice-President Lillian Politella, and Secre- tary May Thayer, plus various com- mittee heads, comprised an Inner Circle directing activities.

^EWMA]%^ CLUB
Named after the great English Cardinal, the Newman Club attempts to instill in its members the same devotion to tlu Church he loved. Among the most effective of these measures was the illustrated lecture on the Mass given by Reverend Edward Featherstone, pastor of the Leeds parish, and the monthly Communion breakfasts held in Father Madden Hall.
Event of the year most popular with the non-Catholic friends of the members was the speech of Father Gerald Walsh of Fordham on Religion in a Modern World, given during his visit here.
Officers for 1941-42 were Paul Dwyer, president; Kay Duffy, vice-president; Marie Kelleher, secretary-treasurer; Henry Martin, publicity manager; Robert Fitzpatrick, representative to the United Religious Council. These, with the ex- ception of Henry Martin, retired in March to be replaced by the new officers inducted at the annual Communion breakfast at the Lord Jeff. Popular speaker at the installation was Reverend Paul Francis, C.P., of West Springfield Passionist Monastery.

This year the Menorah Club added Hillel to its name by affiliating itself with the national Hillel. This affiliation has lent greater impetus and efficacy to the desire "to foster sympathy and understanding for Judaism in its past and present forms, and to promote greater fellowship among Jewish students."
Rabbi Cahn delivered courses on "Jewish Customs and Rituals" and "Contemporary Jewish Philosophies." Guest speakers attended special monthly Friday evening services, and fraternity and sorority discussion groups were also sponsored. Entertainment had its place with monthly Sunday meetings and several social gatherings. The SJwfar, the club's paper, came out regularly, and the Menorah-Hillel continued to make availa- ble to students a large number of publica- tions of Jewish interest.
This year's officers of the Menorah- Hillel Club were Herbert Weiner, presi- dent; Frances Lappen, vice-president; Shirley Gordon, secretary; and an able cabinet of undergraduates.

The name Phillips Brooks brings thoughts both of the gentle composer of 0 Little Town of Bethlehem and of a religious club here on campus. Founded to centralize activity of Episcopalian students so that the student committee of the Church might more effectively reach them, the M. S. C. group is under the direction of Reverend Peter Sturtevant and the leadership of officers William Clark, president; Daphne Miller, vice-president; Olive Tracy, secretary; Stanley Hood, treasurer.
With the exception of the Communion services held one Friday a month at the ascetic hour of 7:25 in the Old Chapel Seminar Room, its whole program con- sists of supper meetings on the second and fourth Mondays of each month. At these gatherings a short talk on some religious, social, political, or economic issue is presented, usually by an Amherst, M. S. C, or Smith professor. For example, Quaker William Wilson, alumni secretary of Amherst College, spoke on Pacifism and Dr. George E. Gage on Russia.
Today, and Developing a Christian Person- ality have been among the subjects con- sidered under the kindly hospitality of Dr. and Mrs. Lindsay. Advisers are Professor and Mrs. Rust of Amherst College, but Dr. Cramer, pastor of the Wesley Methodist Church, also attends meetings.
President Minnie Davis, Mce-president Larry Newcomb, Secretary-Treasurer Ralph Dakin, Devotion Chairman Mar- jory Reed and Action Co-chairmen Marion Cook and Barbara Butement form a Cabinet which chose the speakers and brought them to Amherst. Besides the Sabbath sessions, it sent deputations to other churches, sometimes presenting a play during the visit.

GIRLS TAKE OVER CHOIR
"Prepare ye the way of the Lord," might well enter the thoughts of those who go to Sunday afternoon Vesper services as they watch the maroon-robed choir file, singing, into its place behind Reverend Easton. An innovation this year was an all-girl choir formed at the beginning of second semester. Because of lack of interest shown by the male members, they were eliminated en masse — which left the coeds to carry on without trilling tenors and bottom-noteing basses.
For active participation in the choir, two academic credits are given the first year, but attendance after that is purely voluntary.
With the competent leadership of Doric Alviani and the accompaniment of Wil- fred Hathaway at the organ, the Choir has fulfilled its function of providing spiritual music at the traditional five o'clock service. An invitation to sing at the Grace Church in Holyoke early in December may be cited as proof of its consistently excellent performances.

Phi chapter of Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity has earned recognition in practically all fraternity activities. In the annual fall and winter athletic competition A. E. Pi captured second places in football, soccer and volleyball. Scholarship also found A. E. Pi at second place and the annual skit competition was won by Alpha Epsilon Pi for the second year in suc- cession. This year's skit Boogy Woogy Whacks was expertly directed by Murray Caspar '43, and its success was largely the result of the splendid work of the actors plus especially fine lighting.
At the end of first semester when winners of the interfraternity competi- tion were announced, the highly coveted cup was presented to Alpha Epsilon Pi and is now proudly displayed with other fraternity trophies.

ANNIVERSARY
The twenty-fifth anniversary of Alpha (■amma Rho fraternity on this campus served as the nucleus around which its entire year's program was built. The opening event was participation in the Interfraternity Skit finals with an ultra- modern television number. The house was then awarded, in December, the second place cup for Interfraternity Competition in 1940-41. The start of the new semester in February, 1942, was marked by the winning of the Winter Carnival Cup. This was done on a com- bination of points earned in the Skiing, Skating and Snow Sculpture Com- petition. The latter, with the theme. Homage to King Winter, took first in the competition. Less than a week later tlie house took another first in the Interfraternity Declamation. The end of the year drew to a close in a final cele- bration of the house's Anniversary with a special banquet, at which it was awarded first place in the National Fraternity Journal Competition.

ALPHA LAM'S
Playing hostess to freshman women on imaginary trips to China, Canada, Mexico, and Holland, Alpha Lambda Mu girls opened their fall rushing season which culminated in the annual mid- winter formal held in honor of the pledges on January 9 at the Munson Memorial Library. On October 26, Alpha Lam's annual Parents' Day, parents were given a lunch and an entertainment which was followed by a parents' business meeting. In December sorority patronesses gave the Alpha Lam's a Christmas party in cooperation with President and Mrs. Baker. Both in November and March alumni weekends were held and old grads returned to discuss present sorority problems and to offer their advice and help. Throughout the year Alpha Lambda Mu "mimicked" fraternities and other sororities by holding at least one vie party each month.

ALPHA SIGMA
Alpha Sigma Phi entered interfraternity competition with a zeal which carried it to a tie in its league in touch football. The Interfraternity Skit showed the transition of a group of typical college students in their four years at State. In the winter competition Alpha Sig floored a basketball team which caused a great deal of trouble for the rest of the league. The volleyball team also showed up well although it was defeated in a few games. A successful fall and winter social season carried on into the spring, culminating in the Spring Formal. During the year the house received a great rejuvenating, whep the alumni refurnished it from top to bottom. In addition to the refurnish- ing already done, the alumni plan to build a new dining hall as soon as the members of the house move out for the summer vacation.
Individual members who stood out on various athletic teams contributed to the importance of Alpha Sigma Phi on

Along the military line Alpha Sigma Phi was well repre- sented with the highest cadet honor going to a member of the house, Jim Gilman. This is the second year in a row that the house has received this honor.
In Scholastic ranking Alpha Sigma stood fourth among fraternities with a 77% average.

LAMBDA DELT
Something new and different came into being on the M. S. C. campus on June 5, 1941 — new because it wasn't here before, different because it was a women's fraternity. Lambda Delta Mu passed into reverend retirement and Iota Beta chapter of Chi Omega came in, a brand new baby in whose growth lay the promise of a great future of purpose and achievement.
Chi Omega made its debut into college life by a luncheon held at the Lord Jeff in honor of the installation of members and pledges. Since then, beginning with the new college year, Chi Omega entered into> the full swing of campus socialities with vie parties, faculty and rushing teas, a pledge formal in January, a pledge banquet in March, climaxed in April by members gaily dancing at the first-time combined Interfraternity and Inter- sorority Ball; the Inter-Greek Ball — high spot of Greek social life.

KAPPA SIGMA
On the hill overlooking the campus stands Kappa Sigma House. Now in its second year it houses some of the most important men on campus, besides some forty odd others who have helped to keep Kappa Sig up among the best of houses.
In athletics the interfraternity soccer team was head and shoulders above the field. The interfraternity skit, a take- off on the College Store, written by Lou Bishop, brought plenty of laughs but not much else. Though the declamation was no more profitable. Jack Sherman came through with first prize in the Burnham contest.
Eerhaps the best-known Kappa Sig is Bob Fitzpatrick who is president of his class, president of the Senate, editor of the Quarterly, and co-author of the famous Peanut Gallery.

Athletics, dramatics, politics, publica- tions. . . . variety of talent was Lambda Chi's distinguishing virtue and with such variety of talent such leaders as Greene, Langton, Lacey, Shaw and Kimball stood out in campus activities both cur- ricular and extracurricular.
Moderate success was Lambda Chi's in Interfraternity Competition with the house taking second in last spring's house inspection. . . . and a noble first in the football tournament this fall. Another median mark was secured in scholarship and a close win was almost scored in the Sock and Buskin contest with the presentation of Lord Jeffery Amherst. The annual sing and declama- tion found the boys from the house out of the win column.
Tangible evidence, however, of the strength of the local group came to the eyes of the Alumni at commencement time when they saw their younger brothers participating in two of the major

PHI ZETA NOW^
Phi Zeta's fall term began this year in a house just sparkling with new paint and led by a new house mother, Mrs. Ross. Living up to this beginning, the girls really made a success of the school year. Mary Berry was manager of the Sinfonietta, and, incidently, the first girl ever to hold this position. Another first was Helen Van Meter, manager of the Women's Glee Club and first girl manager of the operetta. Ruth Helyar was presi- dent of the Intersorority Council, and Jean Davis, president of the house, was co-chairman of the new Community Chest Drive. The ever-watchful W. S. G. A. was led by Martha Hall.
Phi Zeta's year was filled with academic a,nd social activities. Following the work and excitement of a successful rushing season, the girls entertained their pledges at a Sunday night supper and, later in the year, at a pledge formal held in the Lord Jeff. The annual Christmas party took place December fourteenth when everyone received a gift and sang carols
