OW, while memories are fresh upon us, let us look bock over the years at Massachusetts ... let us recall, with the help of this record, the people, the events, the scenes, the activities . . . and let us hope that, as the years pass, we will find within these covers much that all of us will want to keep olive in our minds and hearts for the rest of our days.
On these pages we will find imprinted memorable glimpses of the best years of our lives. For some of us, the realization of these best years was delayed while we served our country in its armed forces. Most of us, how- ever, came to the University directly from high school or preparatory school. No matter which route was taken, the some final point was attained.

The scenes' 'diny *fhe_evejits— de-p+e+ecHare familiar td-trs'^ir'ancrThould awoken a certain nostalgia thiot each of us nnust have deep within him.
The names and the foces, in some instances, may become foreign and fade from memory, but still there will undoubtedly remain warm thoughts of past friendships.
This college annual may not mean much to us at the present moment, for it is merely several thousand v/ords and pictures about our most recent experiences, h^owever, it is the sincerest hope of the compilers of the 1951 INDEX that this book will grow more treasured as years pass.
We can all consider ourselves fortunate in having matriculated at the University of Massa- chusetts. The quiet town of Amherst, deep in the Connecticut Valley, is an ideal location to spend four college years. In this setting, our Alma Mater has grown and prospered; its rich tradition has surely left its mark on each of us. Tradition is one of the essential ingredients of spirit, and spirit is that intangible which, by its presence, makes things live. Each graduating class of every institution tries to take this

intonglble-spirlt-and make it 'nto someth ng tangible. At the University, the INDEX is the medium. It is hoped that the medium is effective in keeping alive all that v/hich, to us, has been o noble adventure in living.
As we look at these pages in perspective— m the future when our graduation is another line in our book of memories— we try, with mixed sentiments, to return to these former environs^ We recall our initial sight of the campus, and buildings whose names we had not yet come to know We were assigned dormitory rooms and roommates, and so the story began. Some went to Butterfield, others to Lewis and Thatcher^ Then came on introduction to the Greek world —the world of Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and fraternity pins. _
We found out that Administration and fac- ulty, although always working in the best interes

of the student, could always be belabored by us when grades and conduct were below what we ourselves imagined them to be.
We decided on our major course of study and lent our talents to the various extra-curricular activities.
The Pond was an Important spot on campus with nearly every walk leading by it. It mode for convenient Ice-skating In the winter, and proved useful to the entomology students In the worm weather.

we spent a great deal of time at the COL- LEGIAN, HANDBOOK, QUARTERLY, and INDEX. When we needed nourishment, we dropped in at the U-Store, the most popular course on campus.
The infirmary, although it was not expanded in proportion to the increased student body, was ever-ready to minister to our medical needs. A medical office also was established in the Phys- ical Education Building, with various medical facilities on hand to attend to the athletes.
During our undergraduate years we saw the name changed from Massachusetts State Col- lege to the University of Massachusetts. The physical plant was expanded by more than ten million dollars. The School of Physical Education was reorganized and revitalized, with

Many new courses were added to the cur- riculum, and several of the Schools were reorgan- ized along more comprehensive lines. The Schools of Agriculture and Horticulture and Stockbridge were placed under one dean and mode the School of Agriculture.
The normal freshman class enrollment was increased to eight hundred, and the graduate school showed a record registration. Govern- mental grants instigated several important research projects, which gained notional prominence.
Our musical and theatrical organizations undertook difficult productions and by their road tours brought honor and acclaim to themselves and the University. The snow sculptures high- lighted Winter Carnival activities.
And so it is that we recall all these things . . . the Military Ball, Winter Carnival, Greek Week, Soph-Senior hlop and Commencement Week, the Roister Doister productions, the Chorale, the Concert Association presentations, Mike's, Grondy's, the one too many, the spilled cup of coffee, the book lines, hopping numerals on slip- pery walks, oversleeping for on overcut, song requests on WMUA, hurrying to sign in on time, anxiety during finals, the weekend home . . .
These, are the things we all remember, but let us be warmed by the many other small incidents peculiar to each of us individually.
The 1951 INDEX is a record of four years of our lives, a history written by each of us, though we may not have known it. This history is now a part of us, and this book is to be a lifetime reminder of that history.

ABIGAIL ADAMS HOUSE
There was a cosmopolitan aura this year about the Abbey, home to about a hundred and twenty uppercloss girls. Les belles jeunes filles of La Maison Fran^aise took over half of the first corridor, which they embellished with exotic posters and French flogs. The chattering of facile French tongues resounded through the rooms.
The rest of the dorm, however, retained its strictly American flavor. Bull sessions, invitation dances, knitting, a few hands of bridge, and study- ing now and then occupied much of the girls' time. One of the features of the Abbey, which mode living there so pleasant, was the lovely center, on ideal place to make beautiful music, read the latest magazines, or entertain friends.

Every co-ed was trying to moke her seventy avei age . . . however, there were many opportunitit for relaxation from the old grind . . .
LEWIS HALL
Up on the hill in Lewis Hall, a dorm exclusively for freshman girls, there was an atmosphere of intense, scholarly endeavor during the early weeks of first semester. Every co-ed was trying to moke her seventy overage by Dean's Satur- day, and thus be free of the seven o'clock curfew.
During the week-ends, however, there were many opportunities for relaxation from the old grind and for participation in the gale social life of the campus. The girls in Lewis planned several open houses, invitation dances, and a series of teas to which they invited members of the faculty.
Mrs. Churchill and the house counselors helped make living in a dorm a treasured memory of college life.
th the
e increased enroll sds took ove
meriT ottresnmeh women, another dormitory, Knowlton hHouse, making a Itotai of four dorms for female students. P Dormitory seemed to lose its essential meaning, which any Latin scholar will recall is a place to sleep. It became much more than that, especially to the freshmen whose seven o'clock curfews kept them within the portals of Lewis and Thotcher on vveek nights. The dorms were social centers and study halls, as well as the traditional networks of bedrooms which they had been considered previously.
The freshmen were perhaps most impressed with dorm-life for reasons other than that they were compelled to remain there. Here was the first place to meet new friends — friends to be remem- bered long after four years of college hove passed. Proctors were not those domineering upperclass- men trying to get their charges into mischief, but they were friends, advisors, and tutors endeovoring ^to get the frosh off to a good start in this new life.
mmu HOUSE
This year the cloistered halls of Knowlton House took on a new atmosphere, for girls finally moved Into their new dorm. Among the changes that took place, the most out- standing additions were the new drapes and the pastel furniture for the center and the rec room. A sound-proofed telephone booth, towel racks, curtain rods, and hooks on the walls were also added to give the dorm that "homey" look.
At the beginning of the year, the girls of Knowlton, under the guidance of Bettino hlollls and Mary Lowry, organized a variety show of local talent. The proceeds from the show and the dance which followed it were donated to the house for the purpose of buying a radlo-vlctrola.
It wos this enthusiastic start which intro- duced a very successful year for Knowlton.

ichairman. Dances were held on a larger scale than ever this past year, with motifs and decorations of unusual originality. At teas the students, especially those new to cannpus, had a chance to meet the faculty and administration informally, hiere was a lesson in the social graces necessary for any hostess or guest. Still social were the activities in the rec room, which as always, was the busiest place in each dorm. When tired of studying, we always found here a retreat where there was sure to be a game- of bridge or a group discussion in progress, either one a welcome relief for a weary mind.
An unusual event sponsored by a dormitory was the Knowlton hlouse Variety Show. With talent gathered from all over campus, the girls organized a show, the profits of which went towards purchas- ing new furniture for the house.
Group participation in extra-curricular activities was a strong bond within each house. Thatcher took first place in the women's division of the float rally. Women's Athletic Association's intramural sports program showed cooperation to be the key to a successful athletic season for dormitory teams.
That was dormitory — parties, dances, the rec room, practical jokes, sports, rallies, discussions, bridge, friends, and studies. It was far more than just a place where one could fall into bed after a day's activity.
THATCHER Ml
For the first time in the school's history, Thatcher hHoll was an all-freshman woman's dormitory this year. The lock of college experience, however, did not stop the girls from showing a great deal of spirit and ingenuity in planning events for the dorm.
Starting the year off with music, the freshmen held a dance on the Eve of Columbus Day. Under co-chairmen of social events, Ginny Par- sons and Ruth Burns, the rec room was decorated' in a nautical theme with port-holes, life pre- servers, buoys, and other maritime riggings, and the S.S. Thatcher was underway with a big splash!
After Dean's Saturday the freshmen became evident in campus activities and showed the kind of enthusiasm that makes college worth- while.

Hamlin h^ouse, in the midst of the women's quadrangle and therefore the butt of many jokes about its location, enjoyed a very successful year of social and athletic activities. At the same time the residents increased their ocquaintances among the co-eds in their section of campus.
Butterfield, the Waldorf of the University, was, as usual, the scene of the President's reception in the fall and of many dances throughout the year. Cafeteria problems arose as they invariably do, but that was always port of college.
The dormitories seemed to have a new aim for a better education. Tutoring systems were set up so that help was offered in all courses. This was a special aid for freshmen, but others who needed help were welcomed into the special groups.
At Chadbourne o magazine collection was started to provide relaxing literature for the resi- dents. Additions from private subscriptions were put into a group library from which the entire house derived benefit.
With the entrance of freshmen residents. Brooks House this year opened its portals for the first time to representatives of all classes. Shortly after the beginning of the school year the recreational activity at Brooks hit its peak. The upperclassmen promptly took the fresh- men under their collective wing and proceeded to teach them the fundamentals of bridge and pinochle.
The dorm entered the social world early in the first semester with on open house dance that drew a capacity crowd. Through the combined efforts of all classes, a "second semester fling," held early in the semester, was equally successful.
Dormitories were on integral part of college, the place to "shoot the breeze" and to relax . . .

BUTTERFIELD HALL
It was not so long ago that Butterfleld was the sole residence for all the freshmen men. How- ever, even though the freshman class has become so large that it requires three dormi- tories, Butterfield, through tradition, has remained the frosh men's stronghold. This year's upperclassmen remember that all fresh- men in their time, and before them, were required to taste the long and tiring walk up Butterfield Hill.
In spite of such a walk, the men at Butter- field were very successful in supporting the past fame of their dormitory. This year, as for many years in the past, and under the direc- tion of the social chairman. Herb Marsh, the dorm had very successful Christmas and Spring dances, and continued to show their hospitality to the freshman girls in their exchange suppers.

CHyBOURME HALL
This year Chadbourne Hall was completely taken over by the freshmen boys. Whereas in former years it had housed a mixture of fresh- men and upperciassmen, including veterans, this year it was one of the three dormitories housing solely freshmen boys.
The bridge and poker sieges took hold of Chadbourne as they eventually do all dorms, but these were not the only activities to which the Chadbourne boys laid claim. What with their dances, bull sessions, and, of course, study hours, they really managed to keep busy. Their senate representatives, hHayden Tibbets and Charles Bassett, brought the vote of Chadbourne into student life, and their house officers did a good job In the running of the dorm.

COOnUIRCLE
County Circle, fondly known by all who live there as the "low-rent" district, is made up of five cinder block dorms — Middlesex, Ply- mouth, Berkshire, Hampshire, and Suffolk. Married students and their spouses live in hiampshire and Suffolk, while the upperclass- men inhabit the other three. Lines of people going to Middlesex on Monday morning (or any other day) might deem it the most popular of the group, but the members of the other four dorms will contend that it is merely because twelve Bendix washers ore located there.
These dorms entered all intra-mural athletic competition on campus. Each one elected four officers who led the planning of the social events of the dorm.
Married students and their spouses live in Hamp- shire and Suffolij ... the children of the married men could be seen scampering around . . .
This was dormitory — more than just a place where one could fall into bed after a day's activity.
ERU CIRCLE
Home to nearly ninety-five fonnilies is Federal Circle, better known as "Maternity Row." In the small apartments of the long barraclcs- type "cardboard" buildings, reside the stu- dents who are also husbands and fathers, or wives and mothers. Just a few yards from typical campus scenes, was found washing flapping on clotheslines, children playing in +he narrow streets, and the smell of home cooking — a combination quite different from what college is supposed to be.
Although Federal Circle is due to be torn down when the pressing need for married stu- dents' quarters has passed, it will always be the college locale that many of the alumni will remember most vividly.

GREEPUGH HULL
With the large influx of freshmen this year Greenough, which is almost at the top of our little world, was used as a dorm for freshmen for the first time. There was the usual round of activities typical of life in a men's dorm: studying, football scrimmages and softboll gomes, card games and bull sessions, and a series of very successful dances at hlollowe'en, Christmas, and other holidays.
Since Greenough is fortunate enough to have 0 cafeteria right in the dorm, there were also several successful cafeteria parties which are always good for enjoyment. On the whole, the freshmen living in Greenough showed much enthusiasm and originality in planning their activities.

UUn HOUSE
Hamlin House will hear the echoes of male voices resounding through its corridors for the lost time in June. After almost two years, the dorm will be handed over to the girls for whom it was originally built.
Hal Morkarian, house president, really made the dorm livable. Before he was in office a month he had the center opened and fur- nished for the fellows' comfort. Previous to this time it hod been closed for lack of furnishings.
Leo Kilcoyne and "Wimpy" Fairburn, social chairmen, supervised two popular dances, one in November and one in January. The various girls' dorms on campus were well represented at both of these successful affairs.
MILLS HOUSE
With the arrival of younger men from the top of the hill, the spirit of Mills House was given a big lift. Under the leadership of President Mike Marzenkowski and athletic chairman Sid Mackler and Bob Grayson, Mills took its place among the top houses on campus.
Mills went to the finals in football as cham- pions of "B" league. Basketball again found Mills up with the best, while its hockey team held a favorable position.
Popular in the house were the ping-pong tournament and the football movies spon- sored by the Mills hlouse A. C.
The social highlights of the year were the "Snow Ball" and the "Spring Festival," and it was at the former affair that the traditional queen was chosen.

The Pan Hellenic Council, counselor for the seven sororities on campus, is port of 0 notional organization which has as its purpose the guidance of the sororities on each college campus.
This year "Pan \-\e\\" set a new task for themselves. With the great increase in women's enrollment within the last few years, a need for a new sorority arose. The council, with the assistance of members from each of the sororities, founded the non-sectarian group. Phi Delta Nu.
The Council also took charge of Round Robin teas during rushing, and encouraged friendly competition among the sororities.

INTERFRATERNITY COUKCIl
The Interfraternity Council, composed of two representatives of each of the eleven fraternities on campus, promoted scholastic standards and encouraged friendship among the various houses.
It was in charge of the athletic activities of the fraternities and arranged the schedules for them. They were also in charge of the athletic scholarship fund, and raised money for this purpose.
IITERFRATERKITY JUDICIARY
The Interfraternity Judiciary Board has served the University of Massachusetts for the post six years. It makes certain that each and every Fraternity on campus obeys the rules and regula- tions set up by the Student Life Committee, punishing with no discrimination those who vio- lote these codes. Also, they have tried to create close cooperation and a spirit of good will between the fraternities In order to make them a well-knit unit. Their goal has been to create a responsible self-government within the student body.

An open house after the first football game started the social season for Chi Omega, and another open house followed the hlomecoming football game. Everyone was pleased with the friendship that these parties promoted.
The touch football game with the S.A.E. challengers Is also to be remembered. The score: 55-32 in Chi O's favor.
The highlight of the year was the annual pledge formal in January, at which time the Chi O's presented their pledges with miniature paddles as favors.
Chi Omega is also the home of "Miss Esquire," Alice O'Donnell, who was chosen from a roster of beauties on oompus.
Friendliness, participation In campus activities, and excellent scholar- ship are the standards by which the Chi O's live. And this year, as in years post, Chi Omega did not foil to live up to Its standards.

Kappa Alpha Theta was founded in 1870 at DePauw University, Indiana, as the first Greek letter fraternity known among women. Since then, it has grown until now there are seventy-five chapters throughout the United States and Canada. The University chap- ter, Gamma Eta, has forty-five members and on active alumnae organization.
The Thetos hove participated in many activities, such as the. Chorale, the drill team, and the various campus productions. They have also competed successfully in athletics and the inter- sorority sing and declamation. Scholastically, Theta ranked high for the year.
The block and gold banner flies alone at the North end of the campus, where the Thetas share the ups and downs of college life.

The Kappas started off the fall season well with several members march- ing in the drill team, three members cheerleading, and one member in the band. A "scavenger hunt" dance began a good social year, which included an alumnae tea on Homecoming Week-end, the annual pledge formal in January, and a spring house dance to conclude the year's events.
Kappas gained campus recognition in various extra-curricular activi- ties, three members were on the Judiciary Board, one being president of the organization. Several were active in the Naiads, in W.A.A., on the Collegian, and in campus musicals.
A deck of cards, a comfortable floor, a roar- ing fire, a fourth for bridge . . . and thou.

In the fall semester, the cannpus recognized the need for a new sorority. As a result, twelve sponsors, two from each sorority house, held initiation on November 27, 1950, for the charter members of Phi Delta Nu. This democratic, non-sectarian sorority spent the remainder of the semester getting organized. Rushing parties were held during the second semester.
In on effort to become recognized on campus, the members of Phi Delta Nu participated in many of the inter-Greek and other campus activities.
At this time, the members would like to publicly thank all the people who have helped give them such a successful beginning. They appreciate especially the time and effort which their advisors and their sponsors have so generously given.

June 1951 saw the close of another successful year for Pi Beta Phi in campus life. Among the many activities in which the Pi Phi's were promi- nent were the Scrolls, Isogon, Drill Team, Cheerleaders, Index, Handbook, Senate, and Winter Carnival.
Pi Phi's reputation for hospitality was upheld by its varied social calendar which included the traditional post-football game "coffee hours," the annual Fall Dance, and the Pledge Formal.
But all was not play for the PI Phi's. In the fall, with the help of frien.ds and relatives, they undertook the task of painting the front and back hallways of their house. The result was a fine, professional-looking job.
The Massachusetts Beta's held before them, and strove continually to attain, the goal of a creditable scholastic record.

For Sigma Delta Tau this was another banner year. Still retaining a high scholastic average among campus groups and the highest in national S.D.T., the girls found time for participation in all phases of campus life. The house was represented on the Senate, Collegian, Index, Quarterly, Roister Doisters, professional clubs, and campus committees.
The social season began with open-house dances after the rallies and was climaxed with traditional "Pledge Formal" week- end, which included a dinner-dance this year for the first time.
A large delegation from this house invaded Rhode Island State College for the football game and visited sorors there with over- whelming school and sorority spirit. The same spirit prevails in S.D.T.'s many activities on campus.

Along with the traditional events — pledge formal, Junior-senior picnic, Hallowe'en party, hoy-ride, teas for the teams, and exchange suppers — Sigma Kappa this year introduced another event which, it is hoped, will be an annual one — that of a focutly tea in the early spring. This, in addition to the entertaining of faculty guests each month, will help the Sigma Kappa's not only to know their professors as people, but also to weaken the barrier that exists between faculty and students.
The Sigmas hove entered every activity where their executive ability could be put to good use, and their talents exercised. Not for honors alone have they striven this year, but for the ideals which make a well- rounded student.
Not for ho which moke

There is nothing like a guitar backing up four part harmony ... a relief from the grind.

The Greek intramural sports, campus service, and scholastic competition kept the brothers at Alpha Gamma Rho busy throughout the year. Social events were numerous and successful, especially the Pink Rose Formal and the costume parties. The rote of loss of pins was notably high.
However, the main theme of life at Alpha Gam seemed to be books, books, and more books. Not that the brothers did not take an occasional break. The tradition of the bull session was carefully preserved in the old brown and yellow house on North Pleasant Street. The midnight philoso- phy of many generations is layered on the walls like the very wallpaper.
Not all was talk, however, as was shown by the numbers of Alpha Gams on varsity teams, on the dean's list, in clubs, and in campus activities.

Lambda Chi Alpha's contribution to campus life could best be measured by its widespread participation in nearly every division of school activity.
In addition to its large representation in athletics, including three captains and several individual stand-outs, the chapter was a top leader in the political and scholastic spheres of the University. Lambda Chi's constituted a distinct majority in class offices and student government, and ranked near the leaders in scholastic grades.
Moreover, the membership of a great many clubs and organizations had the stamp of Lambda Chi Alpha.
If all this were not enough to warrant recognition on the University of Massachusetts campus, certainly the claim to the champion baby-sitter of the year — one Donker Gleason — would in Itself demand attention from the school.

Politically, Phi Sigma Kappa is upholding a long standing tradition, with many class offices falling to house members. The social roster is a per- ennially full one — Autumn Nocturne Formal, Moonlight Girl For- mal, Christmas Party, costume dances, and faculty whist parties. The Phi Sigs are proud of the fact that they are supporting a Dutch war orphan, the money granted providing clothing, medical care, and education. And who can forget the jubilant faces of the children of the Brightslde hlome when gathered around the Christmas tree getting presents from "Santa"?

Q.T.V. hos just passed through its eighty-first year as o fraternity on this campus, and has again shown the reason for its long life. As leaders in campus affairs the membership includes the president of the senior class, many varsity men, and many participants in other campus activities.
The social activities of the year included exchange suppers with sorori- ties, weekend dances, the traditional hHomecoming Dance, and the Spring Formal. Again this year as in the past, Q. T. V. entertained the orphans from Brightside at a Christmas party which was as heartily enjoyed by the brothers as by the children.
The only sad note in an otherwise enjoyable year was the recalling of a number of fellows into active service.

Since early fall, Massachusetts' Koppo Chapter of S.A.E. was busy with scholastic, social, and extra-curricular activities. It was well represented in varsity athletics and in various compus pre- sentations and activities. To mention only a few, the house boasted the Chairman of the Winter Carnival, an associate editor of the Quarterly, the treasurer of W.M.U.A., and mem- bers on the Men's Judiciary Board and the Maroon Key.
S.A.E.'s social highlights included its annual formal, the "Jan- uary Thaw," the colorful "Apache Dance," and the "Farmers' Party." In addition to our annual Faculty Tea, this year we inaugurated an introductory Tea for Freshmen Girls. This year's new members hove shown positive signs of adding greater prestige to the house in future years.

~ The annual "Fiesta" party was again a campus favorite; the social
season was highlighted by the "Sweetheart Ball" held in May.
Sig Eps hove excelled in almost every extra-curricular activity and have shown considerable political and literary ability. Examples of this ability were to be seen in the presidency and vice-presidency of last year's senior class, and the editorship of lost year's Index.

The Tep brothers were on campus three weeks before registration day last fall, renovating and beautifying their chapter house on Fraternity Row. Subsequent months saw no decrease in spirit at Tep. The social events celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the national fraternity's foundation were timed to coincide with the University's Homecoming Weekend in November, and the chap- ter's social functions on this occasion drew praise from all visitors and from publications throughout the state. Another social high- light of the year was the local chapter's 13th Annual Banquet and Ball, a formal affair.
The brothers did not allow the social life at Tep to interfere with their studies, however. They took pains to keep their first place position in interfraternity scholarship competition, a dis- tinction they have now held for eight consecutive semesters.

Home is at 496 North Pleasant Street for the members of Theta Chi. It is home made up of a bit of studies, house parties, and fraternal spirits, topped off by the belly-stretching meals of Mrs. Pease, cook and mother confessor.
It may well be due to her culinary arts that Theta Chi's big dances are such outstanding successes on campus. Preparations for this year's Sadie hiawkins' Dance were especially complex, the decorations being extended throughout the house.
Parties are not the main topic at Theta Chi, however, for it has ranked high in the Interfroternity competition for the past three years.

Starting the year with a nucleus of twelve men, the TrI-Zates undertook this task with remarkable vigor. They took part in Interfraternity athletic com- petition, Greek Week activities, and many other fraternity and campus functions.
The newest fraternity on campus wishes to thank publicly the other Greek orgonlzotlons on campus, the Interfraternity Council, and the many members of the faculty and the administration who readily gave It much-needed help and advice during the year.
Tri-Zeta Is planning to acquire its own house and affiliate with a national organization in the not-too-distant future.

REVIEW
APRIL
•A month of pleasure
*The Greeks proved their ahility
it the Deer made its bow
April showers and inter-Greek
powers
Spring Day. ..and what a day
Along with the April Showers come Inter-Greek Week at the University. The Greeks proved that sororities and fraternities do hove the ability and initiative that nnakes for better living. The Interfraternity Sing was the first event and Sig Ep's seventy-five members walked off with first place. Never before were heard such renditions of "Onward Christian Soldiers" and "You'll Never Walk Alone." Alpha Gamma Rho and tuxedo-suited Theto Chi took the second and third places, respectively. On the next night the sororities presented their annual Sing and Dec- lamation. Sandy Hanson and her KAT's charmed the whole audience with "I Love You" and "By the Light of the Silvery Moon," and won first place for the third consecutive year. Mary Lowry with her effective rendition of excerpts from "Edward, My Son" claimed the Declama- tion plaque for Chi Omega. The Greek Week continued with the fraternity skits on Wednes- day night. Sig Ep's skit, "Delirium Tremens," which featured costumes that glowed In the dark and an airborne bat, won another first place. AEPi's "Pyrite," with Mel Bloke as "Chi- quita Banana," won second place. Phi Sigma Kappa came In third with their hilarious "An Old Fashioned Movie," which hod to be rewound in the middle of the presentation.
The Robert Shaw Chorale entertained the next night. The technical virtuosity, close har- monic structure, and good solo work which they displayed warmed the hearts of the audience.
Then came the climax of Greek Week — the Greek Ball, held at the Smith School in North- ampton. Gene Williams and the Teddy Wilson Trio played donee music and specialty numbers.
A blue "sky," twinkling stars, and fraternity and sorority pennants decorated the gym, and made this the dance of the year.
On Saturday night Sig Ep carried away their third award with a Jungle Dance, complete with trees and monkeys.
April was also the month during which two scholarship funds were established. Student donations supported one fund, while the other was supported by donations from alumni and friends; and eight graduate students and forty- eight seniors were elected to Phi Kappa Phi.
April was fated to be a month of fun and ileasure. The Administration descended from South College and proclaimed April 19 an offi- cial "Spring Day." Such reveling was never before seen. Car after car made its way to the ever-popular Rifle Range, where the occupants partook of sandwiches, milk and cake. Volleyball nets were strung up between trees and make- shift bases were made for the softball field. Other students were content to merely con- template nature. At dusk the tired and happy students returned to their dorms to prepare for the next day's classwork.
"hHit the Deck" made its U.M. debut on April 20. The music and dancing portrayed the navy in the wild and early days of its development. Jim McCarthy and Mary Wells led a cast of campus talent.
Before the month closed, the Maroon Key found time to elect twenty frosh to its ranks, Zeto Zeto Zeta had its charter meeting, Ray Gagnon was chosen captain of the basketball team, and Candid DM poked its moving pic- ture nose into the center of all these events.
m W * Mother's Weekend •Mardi Gras* Opera* Exams
With May came budding leaves, blossoming flowers and a matted library lawn.
Great and wonderful things were performed in May as thoughts and energies turned toward that nearing "last day of school."
Over three hundred mothers visited our campus the first week-end. They flocked to see the bathing beauties in the Naiads show, the tennis champs, the ever-popular Statesmen, and the University Players' production of "Angel Street." What mother will ever forget the reson- ant voice of Dan Daly or the emotional depth and feeling in Dee Carbone's portrayal of Bella? On Sunday the mothers listened to a concert by the University Bond.
An American opera, written by Richard Rescia of the Class of 1951, mode its debut In Bowker Auditorium. It featured modern dances presented by Miss hHubbard's protegees. Dick has long been noted for his outstanding ability, and "Ashes of Roses" more than confirmed the promise Dick had shown.
The Cage became transformed the next night, and the campus went to New Orleans for a Mardi Gras. The proceeds of this worthy ven- ture went to the Athletic Scholarship fund. Some of the featured booths were Tri-Zeta's Tunnel of Love, SDT's Date Bureau, Chi Omega's Candy Apples, and AEPi's wet sponge deal. Others took chances on winning a date with Dr. Ross or Miss Tilton. Lucky Wally Kenney and Nobby Nolan won Kappa Sig's car. The affair was a huge success both financially and socially.
On Memorial Day the Military Department displayed their soldiers to the campus. The troops were reviewed by military men, the hon- orary colonel, Jo O'Rourke, and President Van Meter.
To be remembered, the seniors left us a statue of Metawampe on Old Chapel Lawn.
hlonor was bestowed upon Joe Hllyard as "Man of the Year." Joe was secretary-treasurer of Adelphia, secretary of Lambda Chi, and a pre-med student. Thelma Litsky claimed "Woman of the Year" for her work as president of Iso- gon, treasurer of the Senate and a member of the W.S.G.A. Council. Other outstanding men were Bruce Bowens, Joe Dillmon, \-\a\ Fienman, Robert Leavitt, Ed Struzziero, William Tague and William Troy. Outstanding women were Helen Mitchell, Betty Jane Skahill, Priscllla Burnette, Faye Hammel, Barbara Kinghorn, Betty Kreiger and Laura Levine.
May also included several of the annual parties — Mass Grass, Bowery Ball, and Kappa SIg's Clambake — a fitting end to a delightful month.
JUNE
Commencement Week. ..banquets,
parties, speeches
Class Day, baccalaureate, family,
and gifts
Sopb-Senior Hop. ..and Farewell
June sow the campus turning its eye toward Commencement and the contemplation of serious matters. One thousand one hundred and seventy-three seniors, the largest class in the history of the University, donned mortar boards and tried to look half as serious as they felt.
Paul Gagnon of Kappa Sig presented the principle address, "Education for Freedom," at the last senior convocation. Other features of the meeting were several vocal renditions by the Chorale; the presentation of the class gift, the statue of Metawompe; the Adelphia-isogon gift; proceeds from "Campus Varieties"; and the tapping of the new members of Adelphia (which celebrated its 35th birthday in 1950). The senior men tapped were Ed Camaro, Louis Clough, George Carey, Charles L'Esperance, Evan Johnston, William Luti, Benn Merritt, Ber- trand Norbis, Paul Perry and Henry Thompson.
Junior men honored at the some time were Mario Fortunato, Roy Gagnon, Charles Kiddy, Vincent Leccese, William Less, Frank O'Keefe, Harvey Segal, William Starkweather and Charles Stephono.
The series of events which made up Com- mencement Week-End began at the Hotel Kim- ball in Springfield. There the seniors convened for a last dinner together as undergraduates — their Senior Banquet.
The Sophomore Class paid its tribute to the almost graduates — Soph-Senior Hop — on the fol- lowing night. The nostalgic evening was height- ened by Billy Note's Musical Cocktails, as couples danced in a storm of colors.
Because of the spring rains. Class Night was held in Bowker instead of on the Library Lawn. Never to be forgotten was Don Daly's presen- tation of the Class Oration. The Class Ode, written and delivered by Bruce Bowens, dis- played its author's typical eloquence and skill.
The senior oration was delivered by class presi- dent, Bob Leavitt, who afterwards presented the class mantle to the junior class president. Joe Dillman and Paul Perry, disguised with Indian make-up, gove the traditional Pipe and Hatchet Orations. Later Patritio O'Rourke, secretary, and Wolly Cahill, vice-president, planted the ivy. Eleanor Burt brought the assembly to a close OS she directed class and college songs.
Following the Class Night ceremonies, the Roister Doisters performed the dynamic "Angel Street." Dan Daly and Dee Corbone, in the leading roles, had the audience spell-bound throughout the play.
June fourth Graduation. One thousand one hundred and seventy-three young men and women stood for the lost time on the lawn of Goodell Library and listened to the parting words of the graduation speakers, Paul A. Dever, Governor of the Commonwealth, and Edward Weeks, Editor of the Atlantic Monthly.

The fall semester started off with the registra- tion of the largest freshman class in the history of the University. Thirteen hundred new students flooded the campus, and the number of campus co-eds reached 750. There was good news for these students, and also for those others who were fated to depend on the University's dining facilities. An appropriation of $600,000 to build a new dining hall was announced. Plans were also mode for on olumni-built dormitory for men, and for additions to the new Animal Pathology Building. New buildings were not the only addi- tions to the University. During the summer twenty-five new persons joined the teaching staff. President Ralph A. Van Meter welcomed the students at the traditional opening convoca- tion. His advice to the student body was "Go through college — don't wait for college to go through you." Even at this early dote the Presi-
dent revealed that the world situation hod prompted the State Department to enlist the University's aid in preparing men for the armed services. Arrangements hod been made to con- duct college-credit courses at Westover Field for the Air Force personnel stationed there.
One announcement which met with much con- troversy was the restriction of freshman girls to their dorms after seven P.M. on Monday through Thursday. And the freshman boys won't soon forget the Maroon Key. On the other hand, it Is doubtful that the Maroon Key will ever forget this group of freshmen. It seems they were reluctant to go for their morning strolls.
The month closed with the opening of the football season, and UM was a 26-0 victor in the Bates game. The drill team mode its first appearance and was just as "sharp" as ever.
OCTOBER -Athletics -Teas* Rallies -Rooe Pull
WMUA, our campus radio station, began broadcasting with the same staff as lost year, with many hopes and plans for the installation of F-M and expansion of the Pioneer Broadcast- ing System. The Soph-Frosh Rope Pull was tra- ditionally won by the sophomores, traditionally becouse this was the eighty-third consecutive loss for the freshmen. The newly-elected Senate showed everyone that they meant business by proposing and passing, in their first session, a raise of twenty cents in the Student Activities Fund. It was In October that the women stu- dents on campus were notified of the Mademoi- selle and Vogue College Edition Competitions, in which many co-eds took part. Among other opportunities on campus for extra-curricular activities were the tryouts for "Brigadoon," the Operetta Guild's musical, slated for production in the spring, and the college contest for the 1951 Esquire Calendar Girl. The tragedy of the school year occurred this month when Sidney, our old-time mascot was discovered to be among the missing. The new women's dorm, Knowlton hHouse, held a very successful variety show and dance to institute a radio-vie fund for the dorm; another social event took place when Pan-Hell and the I.F.C. co-sponsored a dance where the Greeks and frosh could meet in an informal atmosphere to strike up on acquaint- ance before rushing began. Rushing started for sororities and freshman women on the fifteenth of the month with the traditional Round Robin Teas, which were held both afternoon and eve- ning because of the great number of freshman women. The male members of our society really "hit the books" at the end of the month when the averages required for draft exemption were announced; the' Libe was never before so popular.
On the athletic front, meanwhile, the var- sity Redmen had a I and 3 record for the month, defeating Northeastern but bowing to Worcester Tech, Williams, and Rhode Island on three successive Saturday afternoons. The fresh- man footballers, however, showed three straight wins in their October season openings. Larry Briggs' soccer squad didn't fore too well, post- ing an October record of I win, I tie, and 4 losses.
H VE M B [ R • Home-Coitting
Miranda* Elections* Hort Sliow
The month of November will long be remem- bered for its Home-Coming Weekend and the Roister Dolster's production of Miranda. The ploy was a light-hearted comedy with Nancy Galas starring as the mermaid, and Dick Mar- tinez as her very solicitous doctor. The Spring- field football gome does not bring back such pleasant memories. The 26-0 score in Spring- field's favor was quite a blow to our reputation, yet could not dim the spirit of the rally and floot-parode the night before. Winners of th'e float contest were announced as follows: first prize in the women's division went to Thatcher Hall, and first and second honorable mentions went to Pi Phi and Kappa Alpha Theta, respec- tively. In the men's division Lambda Chi received first prize, and first and second honor- able mentions went to Theta Chi .and Alpha Gamma Rho.
h^ome-Coming Weekend was the traditional affair. All campus groups welcomed back the alumni. Highlights of the weekend included the University's football victory over Vermont, 27-6, and the Horticulture Show. Lovely Eunice Dia- mond wos crowned queen of this annual affair. In spite of a little unwelcome rain, the entire weekend was a huge success.
Election day for class officers was accom- panied by the usual political tactics and ingeni- ous candidates strung up banners and signs around campus. In the senior class Dick Boynton of Q.T.V. was elected president; Phil Dean of Lambda Chi, vice-president; Alice O'Donnell of Chi Omega, secretary; and Mario Fortunoto of Lambda Chi, treasurer. The junior class hod the closest race. The presidency and vice-presidency went to Bob Kroeck and Milt Crone, respec- tively. Lennle Woloshyn and Jock Benolt became the secretary and treasurer. In the sophomore class the results were Randy Walker, president; Bill Graham, vice-president; Rosemary Quinn, secretary; and Jack McDonald, treasurer. The freshman class elected Al Good, president; Bobbie Mitchell, vice-president; Bobbie Jean Elliot, secretary; and Fran Conroy, treasurer.
Bob Warren and John Nichols were voted the most valuable football players on this year's squad and were presented their trophies at an Adelphla-sponsored dance. Jack Benolt was elected captain of next year's varsity eleven.

DECEMBER -Mili BalhSnow and Skiing • Vacation •Festivit
Although it is the shortest school month of the year, December was full of activity. On return- ing from Thanksgiving week-end, sorority and fraternity members began their rushing pro- grams. After two weeks of concentrated parties, teas, dances, and smokers a large group of neophytes were pledged to the Greeks.
December second meant Dean's Saturday for the first semester. On that sunny morning, while the upperclossmen flooded the office of the Dean, the freshmen women approached their advisors with fear in their hearts, prayers on their lips, and their fingers crossed. To those whose averages were seventy or above a whole new world was opened — a world of extra- curricular activities, of sorority, and of ten o'clock curfews rather than the seven o'clock curfews which they hod been observing until that time.
Amherst College Gym was the scene of the 1950 Military Ball. Continuous music, provided by alternating Bobby Byrne's smooth dance bond with Bert Orr's rhumba specialists, was only one of the features which mode the Mili Boll so successful. The climax of the evening was the selection of Joan hlortley as Honorary- Colonel. The week-end was rounded out with fraternity parties on Saturday night and a con- cert by the Rochester Philharmonic on Sunday afternoon.
Because the new floor was not completed In the Cage, the first varsity basketball games were played In the Amherst College Gym. Our competitor college brought us only overage luck, because we split the first two home games, beating Worcester Tech and losing to Brown. In the athletic department, the varsity swimming season began with a meet with Boston University.
Although those last hour exams before finals filled the two short weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas, we could not escape the Yule- tide spirit. The crisp air and the first snowfall set the mood for the Carol singing around the brightly illuminated Christmas tree at the edge of the Pond. The singers made a cheerful pic- ture to passing observers as the strains of their music drifted across the campus.
The French Club staged its annual Christmas Pageant in Old Chapel Auditorium on Tuesday night of the lost week of school. Grace Feener and Nate Sondrlnl, in the parts of Mary and Joseph, enhanced the beautiful fresco of the nativity scene. This year the pageant was directed by Louise Cushing, president of the French Club.

As much as we all hated to see our vocation end, we were happy to come back to the friends we had left for two weeks, back to classes, back to fraternity parties, back to everything that Amherst and the U. of M. mean to us.
In the short interlude before finals, the pass- word was "party." The fraternities ran rampant for that last fling and held dances every week- end after vocation. The Junior Class come up with the novel idea of an ice-skating party and dance which was held the night after classes ended. With coffee and doughnuts at the Pond and in Mem hHoli afterwards, the affair proved to be a successful experiment. The Freshmen held a dance in Drill hiall, on the some night and in spite of the competition from the upper- classmen hod 0 large attendance.
Registration for second semester provided a free week-end before finals. The second issue of The Quarterly come out as a new and larger
magazine and was distributed at the Cage dur- ing registration. The contents met the needs of the students for reading matter while waiting in the long lines. Some of the readers realized, after reading the magazine, what excellent material con be produced by their fellow students.
While basketball and swimming continued, the hockey and winter track teams opened their seasons this month. The Pond became alive with hockey sticks as the varsity practiced on it every afternoon, in preparation for its season.
With the spirit of finals upon us, last minute hour exams were token, term papers typed up, everyone went into hibernation for the next two weeks to catch up on a semester's reading and writing. Those who emerged Intact and sone went home for the week-end between semesters resolving to study from day to day and not hove to cram for finals next time.
rtDnU/inl •Second Semester* Winter Carnival* No Snow.
A long week-end after finals put everyone into on energetic mood to join in the activities of Winter Carnival Week. The return to a snowless campus caused snow sculptures to be cancelled. A refreshing recital by dance satirist Iva Kitchell was the first event of the varied program of February and Carnival.
On the first Saturday night of second semes- ter, after watching the Redmen varsity basket- ball squad lose a heartbreaker to Springfield College, the crowd migrated to Drill Hall, where Eunice Diamond was chosen as a princess for the Ball.
The Class of 1950 gift, a bronze life-sized statue of-the legendary guardian Indian chief of the campus, Metawampe, was unveiled and accepted by President Van Meter on Sunday. The College Pond was the scene of a co-ed hockey game and of figure skating exhibitions. Jane Bortlett was princess of the skating events.
Monday night a capacity audience filled Bowker Auditorium to witness the Interclass Plays. The "frosh" play, "Dinner Guest," was chosen first and their leading lady, Shirley hHast- ings, was chosen Best Actress. The Seniors took second place with "A Night In the Country" and Jim Stapleton, their male lead, won the Best Actor Award. "Balcony Scene," the Junior Class play, took third place. Alice Chorebanlan and
Phil Johnson were runners-up for Best Selections.
Again thronging to Bowker, we sow the Flower-Fashion show Wednesday evening. As an Innovation this year, mole models joined the campus queens and showed us what the well- dressed "Joe College" is wearing this season. Two of the models, Barbara Konopka and Ann Morrill, were chosen as princesses.
The long-awaited Winter Carnival Boll was the climax of the week on Friday. Billy Butter-

field's music, tioating across the skating-rink- like dance floor of the Cage, provided a perfect accompaniment to an evening of smooth danc- ing. Two new princesses were added to the five chosen earlier in the week. Mary Jean MInehan, the fifth, was the "Mystery Princess." The two chosen at the Ball were Betty Lou Johnson and Barbara Gates, the latter being selected Queen. A piano recital by Arthur Rubenstein on February 27 brought the month to its climax.

Week' Conventions

Morch winds brought with them a gust of activi- ties for the campus.
The S.C.A. Embassy arrived on campus the first of March, and with it come many stimulat- ing discussions.
U. of M. was host to over 100 delegates from New England colleges and universities as the Notional Students' Association Regional Con- ference held its meetings here. A topic of vital interest to most college men, the mobilization program, was one of the feature issues.
The following week the Cage was the scene of the High School Basketball Tournament. Hun- dreds of future college stars vied for champion- ships on our campus. Many of these boys may be playing for the Redmen In the next few years.
Sorority members ironed out many difficulties and plans for next year's activities at the Pan Hellenic Workshop, held early in March.
Hundreds of visitors thronged the campus to see the widely publicized, glamourous musical, "Brigodoon," produced by the Operetta Guild. To accommodate the gigantic cast of 72 per- sons and to facilitate the moving of scenery, the Guild went so far as to have the walls on the sides of the stage at Bowker Auditorium re- moved. This construction, however, has been needed for many years and will aid future pro- ductions, musical and dramatic, on campus.
A genuine Scottish bagpipe player, Mr. Wil- son Mathleson, was brought in from Holyoke to accompany Joan Hartley In the funeral dance. Authentic costumes, lavish sets, the expert sing- ing, traditional dancing, dramatic acting, and beautiful music provided one of the greatest shows ever produced at the University. A bou- quet of orchids should go to Professor Doric Alvioni for his direction, and to Jean Murdoch and Roy Frenler for their singing and acting, that combined to make the eastern collegiate premiere of "Brigadoon" a resounding success.

If typewriters could type by themselves and flashbulbs could flash by themselves, the Index staff would be an unnecessary group on campus, hlowever, the failure of these machines to run without people provided a full semester's work for the writers, artists, and photographers whose combined efforts brought this book to us.
The Index office was a beehive of activity with brains and pencils running at full speed. Although it was difficult to decide what would happen next January in November, a little imagination put the words on paper in time to meet the decidline.
"Get that ad" was Warren Alberts' motto as he sent the business staff out on its mission to help finance the book. Gerry Popkin's only worry was to make sure that all write-ups, art work, and photography was in on time (which didn't often happen) and to see to it that every- thing v/ould fit into the dummy.
Although it may seem like just onother book, we must admit that the Index holds mony memories for us, and without the work of these respon- sible people (the one's who got all the headaches), we might not hove this souvenir of our college days.

The Collegian
This year the "most powerful newspaper on campus" was enlarged to ten pages, reporting a complete and accurate coverage of local news to the student body.
Second semester the staff voted to organize a publishing board, headed by an executive editor and responsible for the policies of the paper. Lloyd Sinclair was elected to the new editorial position and, with the aid of the other members of the board, guided the Collegian through one of Its most successful and efficient terms.
Putting the paper to bed caused many tense moments for the staff, but every Thursday the finished product reached the residents of the University. In spite of last-minute difficulties. Internal conflicts, and a coke-bottle-and-clgarette-butt-littered office, we were always provided with up-to-date developments in the world (of U. of M.).
The eyes and ears [and noses for news) of Amherst kept the presses rolling and the readers Informed.

The Quarterly
"Above all, the Quarterly is your nrragazine — and ours." So the editors claimed and so it was. The Quarterly combined In Its literature the modern and fresh Ideas of our college students with the ageless and universal ideas of man. Moreover, its four issues proved to the Univer- sity and to the world that we had a nnagazine of prose, poetry, painting and photography — our own magazine — representing a broader scope of art than literature alone.
Among its activities other than publishing, the Quarterly staff presented on Tuesday noons programs of recorded music in Memorial Hall for the enjoyment of students and faculty.
Through the contributions of students major- ing In many diverse fields — from English to engi- neering— this staff provided a magazine cater- ing to the varied Intellectual tastes of students on the campus.

CONCERT BAND
The history of the Statesmen presents o kind of cycle to us. Originally a male quartet, it was disbanded because of the second World War. After the boys returned, the group was reacti- vated, but the members wished to add to their personnel and become a double quartet. With the present crisis and some of the singers leav- ing, we may see the Statesmen resume their original form and sing as a quartet.
This year, in addition to concerts on and off campus, these eight men hove been singing informally at dormitory, fraternity and sorority dances.
The University Bonds, a versatile organization, was divided into two groups, basically com- posed of the same personnel.
The Marching Band played at all of the foot- ball games in the fall, while the Concert Band treated the campus with programs of varied music during second semester.

The ROISTER ROISTERS Presented...
Hing . . . perfect- background
Many new-comers to the group Kad a chance to display their hitherto undisclosed talent in this charming show.
In the spring of 1950 one of the nnost stirring and vivid plays ever produced on campus was witnessed. The University Players, a kind of graduate course of Roister Doisters, presented "Angel Street," starring Doris Corbone and Don Daly. Their thrilling portrayals were the talk of parents and of fellow students, as were the fine rendition of the other performers, Bert Narbis, Alice O'Donnell, and Phyllis Cole.
The fall semester of this year found Roister Doisters rehearsing for the first production of the 1950-1951 season, "Miranda." The play, a comedy by Peter Blockmore, was performed in November with Nancy Galas in the title role. Many new-comers to the group hod a chance to display their hitherto undisclosed talent to the campus in this charming show. An unusual set- ting provided a perfect background for the action, which was extremely well executed.
As the year continued Roister Doisters under- took its other responsibilities, which included the Interclass Play Contest of Winter Carnival
Week. This year Alice Chorebanian directed the Seniors in "A Night in the Country," by Betty Smith and Robert Finch. The Juniors were led by Mary Lowry, who selected Donald Elser's "Balcony Scene." Jody Morton supervised the Sophomores, who gave us "Dinner for Six," by Vera hlachumpher. And lost but not least, petite Froncine Friedman brought the Freshmen, thes- pians j.g., through a stirring performance of "Special Guest," by Donald Elser. The evening of entertainment was a treat to the audience and a thrilling experience for the actors and actresses. It was, as usual, one of the top attrac- tions of Carnival Week.
Early in the second semester the group start- ed to plan for its annual spring presentation. For this year's play they selected "Lllliom," by Ferenc Molnar. The drama was presented on Mothers' Week-end. The audiences thrilled to the performances, which were enacted by many of oiir most talented and skillful young thesplans.
We shall always recall this as one of the most memorable dramatic seasons during our years at U. of M.

^S GLEE CLUB
A practical eye toward the future, the Men's and Women's Glee Clubs were re-actlvoted this year. The possibility of losing men to the army necessitated the formation of the separate choruses.
The Men's Glee Club absorbed the Chowder and Marching Society, the Stockbridge Glee Club, and any other men interested in singing. Dick Rescio directed the group.
Edna Joslin was the student director of the women who wished to sing in the club. The two groups combined and presented a Christmas Con- cert during the Yuletide Season.

A fouch of Broadway glamour was broughf to our campus this year through the Operetta Guild's production of "Brigadoon." the Critics' Award hit of 1947. This collegiate world premiere was a more spectoculor production than any this campus had yet seen.
OPERETTA GUIED
The spring production of the Operetta Guild, "Hit the Deck," brought us a memorable combination of comedy, music, and dancing. The humor was expertly handled by Hal Fienman and Wally Kallaugher, whose comic roles in this and other shows U. of M. students will not forget. The interpretive dancing of Mary Lowry and Bob Boland, campus favor- ites in the Terpsichoreon art, added to the color and atmosphere of the performances. Mary Wells and Jim McCarthy, the singing leads, had the superb backing of the Chorale in nautical attire, and in excellent voice as usual.
After the last curtain of this maritime hit, the Guild members began their search for a fall musical. A show with appeal and incentive to production workers as well as to cast members was their aim. The final selection, "Brigadoon" proved to be such a tremendous undertaking that it was the only one for the 1 950- 1 95 I season.

A touch of Broadway glamour was brought to our campus this year through the Operetta Guild's production of "Brigadoon," the Critics' Award hit of 1947. This collegiate world premiere was a more spec- tacular production than any this campus hod yet seen. The staff for the musical was comprised of over one hundred and fifty students, towns- people, and members of the Guild. The executive staff consisted of Doric Alviani, Director; Joseph Contino, Assistant Director; Robert McCart- ney, Assistant Technical Director; Robert Boland, Design and Dance Director; hHoword Galley, Jr., Production Director; and Ann Morrill, Technical Director.
hlowever, presentation of the hit was not limited to the University campus, for in addition to three performances here in March, "Briga- doon" was presented for the servicemen at Westover Field, and for the veterans In hospitals in Boston. The enthusiasm with which It was received more than compensated for the hard work and long hours that made this production outstanding.

Demolay
William Ives, Vice President, Chesley Corkum, President; David Gould, Treasurer
The Demoby Club of the University, the first of its kind in any New England College, was organ- ized to further the fraternal relationships between former high school members of the Order of Demolay. The club, under the leader- ship of President Chesley Corkum and the club's advisor. Professor O. C. Roberts, met in French Hall twice monthly, at which times the members participated in discussions and enjoyed movies. The field trips, during which they visited local high school chapters, often brought back vivid memories to those who took part in them.
Hellenic
The object of the Hellenic Club was the devel- opment of intercollegiate activities. It empha- sized the exchange of ideas among four cam- puses— the University of Massachusetts, Smith, Amherst, and Mt. Holyoke — which are inter- ested in Hellenic thought and culture. This new club on campus outlined several interesting events, which included speakers on religion, phi- losophy, and other liberal arts courses. The members also planned a calendar of successful social activities.

international Relations Club Political Union
The International Relations Club is unique In that it is composed of both foreign and Amer- ican students. As a result the members are able to benefit from the experiences of those from other lands. Because of this the club serves the useful function of promoting good-will ond understanding among Its members.
The functions of the Club revolve about the various national groups represented. Their pro- grams ranged from Hawaiian dancers to films on India. These interesting and varied programs have attracted mnoy students other than the members to the meetings.
Although the Political Union Club is one of the younger clubs on campus, It Is not, by far, one of the more insignificant.
The Club's activities ore highlighted by dis- cussions of questions of politico! importance to both the student and non-student. The club prizes itself on adhering to no party or partic- ular school of thought. To further broaden the students' point of view, the Club invited to its meetings many prominent political leaders of diverse Interests.

Alatnre Guide Club
The 4-H Club met every Thursday evening at the Farley Club hiouse. The programs were varied, being highlighted by movies which were of special interest to the group- A social hour usually followed the meetings during which everyone enjoyed square dancing.
The Club, among other activities, sponsored a weekend for the high school students in an effort to introduce others to our campus. They also held many joint meetings with other 4-hl organizations as well as sponsoring many public square dances on campus.
Throughout the year the club was always aiming to work "head, heart, hand, and health."
The Nature Guide Club, under the leadership of Bob Wood and Dr. William Vinal, started an- other successful year lost fall. Meeting at Bow- ditch Lodge, the group discussed problems and . new developments in recreational leadership. All students interested in recreation as a profession or a hobby were invited to join.
For the second successive year the group held a Christmas party. This affair was highlighted by the reappearance of many of last year's graduates. In March, the organization traveled to Colroin for their annual Sugaring-off party. This trip was one of a series of outings con- ducted by the club.

French Club
French House
The French Club, perhaps more so than other clubs on campus, has many traditions which have become a part of their yearly activities. Their Christmas pageant presented just before the holiday vacation always proves inspirational as well OS beautiful. During the first meeting in the foil, the true spirit of France is brought closer to club members when the French ex- change students from Amherst College are asked to give their impressions of "American College Life."
The meetings of the club this year were held in Farley Club hHouse, and the activities also included o dance with the French House and an annual spring picnic.
La Maison Francaise headquarters were located at the Abbey this year. The mademoiselles banded together in an effort to further their mastery of the French language. As in post years the group was fortunate to hove a French student as on occupant in their corridor.
Among its many activities the hlouse spon- sored the Cafe Rendezvous which featured French music, dance, and atmosphere; the pro- ceeds of which were used to aid French relief students.
German Club
The German Club enjoyed its second year of organization, holding monthly meetings at which a variety of activities were highlighted.
The Club enjoyed -a Christmas Party at which it was fortunate to have Mr. Thies of this cam- pus deliver a resume of his tour through Ger- many this post summer. Mr. Thies illustrated his talk with colored slides which he took during these travels. The Club also enjoyed German movies as well as informal get-togethers.
The Club is aimed at furthering the students' understanding and appreciation of the German language and culture.

Flying Club
The Flying Club had its inception this year, but it has proved to be one of the more active groups on campus. Although all of the twenty aviation enthusiasts do not yet know how to fly, they hope to have their licenses in the near future.
Each member paid twenty dollars upon join- ing the Club, and with this money as a start, a down payment was made on a plane which is the property of the stockholders, or members of the Flying Club. Members con fly the plane whenever they wish.
National Student Association
The tunctlon of the Notional Student Associa- tion on this campus, as on every campus which has a chapter, is that of a clearing house be- tween the regional and national levels by pro- moting projects in the fields of student life and government, education and educational oppor- tunities, and international affairs.
The program this year included a "Discount Plan," whereby students, through the purchase of discount cards, could buy from associated merchants throughout the country at a saving.

The baseball picture at the University was para doxical. after a fashion, in 1950 ... as far as statistics are concerned . . . the record showed an improvement over the two preceding years.
^S
B H S E B A L I
The baseball picture at the University of Massachusetts was paradoxical, after a fashion, in 1950.
As far as statistics are concerned, the Redmen — with five wins and seven losses — batted their way through a less-than-so-so season, although the record does indicate a slight improvement over the two preceding years.
Hov/ever, in spite of what the records show, the Lordenmen did play an improved brand of ball; and, with one exception, the margin of defeat in each of their seven losses never added up to more than two runs.
Coach Lorden, before the season commenced, had an obundonce of hitters, in addition to his best pitching staff since the end of the war. Moreover, the club was strengthened by a sound and experienced outfield. As the season progressed, however, a rather weak infield coupled with some spotty pitching, brought trouble and woe to the Redmen.
Individual standouts were hurlers Chet Corkum and Marty Anderson, and swatters Don Smith and Don Costello.
REDMEN CLUB CONNECTICUT
Opening their 1950 season against the University of Connecticut at Storrs, the Lordenmen played perfect boll OS they whipped their Yankee Conference rivals 7-3. Chet Corkum, sophomore ace, went all the way, while "Mo" Moriarty and Don Smith connected for seven hits between them to keep the Boy Staters well out in front. The win opened the year on an auspicious note, and gave the team revenge for the previous year's loss to the Huskies.
MASSACHUSETTS NIPS EPHMEN Returning to Alumni Field, the varsity nine maintained their winning pace as they nosed out a strong Williams team in a close pitcher's duel, 4-2. Ed Frydryk, who struck out seven, went the distance in notching his first win of the year. The Redmen gave Ed perfect support |-o take him out of some very tight spots.
WILDCATS CLAW LORDENMEN In their second Yankee Conference gome of the year, the Bay Staters faced a powerful New hiampshire nine
Opening against U. Conn. . . . Moriarty and Smith connected for seven hits between them to keep the Boy Staters well out in front.

on Alumni Field. Four pitchers paraded to the mound, end bases on balls were the rule of the day as the Maroon and White handed the Northerners a 6-4 ver- dict. The loss gave the team a 2-1 record, and evened up their YC record of l-l. The only bright spot in the game was the sparkling play of first baseman Lew Baldwin, whose alert play prevented the score from mounting.
REDMEN DEFEATHERED In a rother striking exhibition of pitching and weak hit- ting, the Redmen gave the Hilltoppers of Trinity a 5-3 win while Coach Lorden looked on helplessly. Thirteen rnen were left on base as the Trinity pitchers bore down when the going got tough. The Massachusetts pitchers held their own until the fatal fourth. During that inning, the roof fell in as the Trinity nine pushed across four runs to wrap up the ball game. The loss evened up the season's record at 2-2.
HUSKIES HOWL For the second year In a row, the Redmen and North-
eastern hooked up In a tight pitcher's duel. Once again It proved to be "Tough Luck" Marty Anderson who pitched superlative ball, only to absorb the loss. Marty gave up only six well-spaced hits, and yielded only one run. However, the Redmen could only get two hits and a walk during the entire afternoon as they went down to defeat 1-0. Even though the team suffered their third straight loss, they looked good in the field, making up somewhat for their lack of potency at the plate.
REDMEN ROMP The Lordenmen regained their winning ways as they came up against a weak Norwich squad. Blasting the Norwich hurlers for nineteen hits, the other eight men gave Chet Corkum almost flawless support as he regis- tered his second win of the year, 13-6. Lew Baldwin and Don Smith split hitting honors for the day as they each topped out four hits. The win returned the Massachu- setts nine to the .500 mark with a 3-3 record. TECH TRIPS MASSACHUSEHS Coming to Alumni Field, Worcester Tech rapped out
nine hits and five runs while limiting the Rednnen to three runs on four hits. In a vain attempt to stem the Engineer tide, Coach Lorden used three hurlers. The game proved to be just the opposite of last year's slug- fest, as the crowd gradually lost interest in what rapidly became a completely dull game. Once again, poor pitching told the story.
WESLEYAN WHIPPED Thanko to four vital errors by o sloppy Wesleyan nine, the Redmen managed to eke out a 2-1 verdict to even up their record for the year at 4-4. The gome proved to be close and interesting. In doubt until the last of the ninth, the Redmen, sparked by the fleet feet of second baseman Buddy Estelle, pushed across the tie-breaking run to provide a thrilling climax to a well-played game.
TUFTS TRIUMPHS Ed Frydryk started against the Jumbos, but it wasn't his day. Before he was relieved in the third, Ed gave up nine runs and the boll game before he went to the showers. Big Bill Winn, displaying a trace of his cham- pionship form of the post two years, came in in the third and held Tufts scoreless for the rest of the gome. The Redmen staged a gallant attempt to get bock in the ball game as they pushed across seven tallies in the ninth. The rally, however, fell one run short as they went down to defeat 9-8.
RHODE ISLAND RAMS REDMEN Both the Redmen and Rhode Island collected ten hits, but the spacing of the hits told the story. The Rams
bunched their hits to score twelve runs and send three U.M. pitchers to early showers. The best the Bay Staters could do with their scattered hits was to tally five runs ihe Redmen a record of 1-2 in Yankee Conference play in being given their sixth loss of the year. The loss gave for the year.
MASSACHUSETTS SHADES SPRINGFIELD In a marked change from the previous year's game, the Redmen hooked up in their second 1-0 gome of the year. This time, however, Marty Anderson and the Lorden- men come out on top as they met Springfield on the Gymnasts home ground. Yielding only three hits during his whitewashing, Marty retained complete command during the entire game to give the Redmen a 5-6 record, end even up his own won-lost record at I -I. The two teams went scoreless until the sixth, when Don Quimby scored the lone run to give the Redmen a well deserved victory.
THE TABLES TURNED Before a capacity Alumni Homecoming crowd, the Lordenmen again staged a tight battle with Springfield, this time losing out 2-0. Bill Winn, former MVP of the team in his sophomore year, pitched his lost game for the University. However, the team's inability to connect at the plate cost Bill the boll gome. It was the second shutout of the season against the Redmen, and gave them a mediocre 5-7 record for the year. The loss marked the second straight year that the Redmen hove dropped their Homecoming Day gome.

SPRING TRACK
Competing in four dual meefs lost spring, the 1950 varsity track squad connpiled a perfect record of losses for the year with an 0-4 season total. Hal Fienman, captain of the team, proved to be the team's most consistent point-getter in a poor season. The Derbymen opened the season by traveling to Storrs, Connecticut, to meet a power-laden UConn squad. Our team picked up most of its points in the field events, for a driving rain considerably hampered the runners. Al Carter, soph speedster who later transferred to the University of Miami, raced to first place in the low hurdles with ease. In the weight events, the Redmen took three out of four firsts.

Al Pieropan placed first in the discus, Ed Molitoris out- hurled everyone to win the hammer throw, and Hal Fienman took his usual first in the shotput. This proved to be the extent of the Massachusetts scoring as they went down to defeat, 91 2/3-42 1/3.
The Maroon and White returned to Connecticut to meet a strong Trinity team. Here again, the team had Individual stars, but did not receive a sufficient number of points to win. Don Stowe, veteran pole vaulter, took an easy first place. Hal Fienman and Art Allntuck, a sophomore who showed a great deal of promise for future years, finished 1-2 In the shotput. Halsey Allen and Damon Phinney, transfers from the cross country squad, placed 1-2 In the two mile, and Ernie Mandeville took a first in the discus throw. However, when the totals were tallied, Massachusetts was on the short end of a 77-49 score.

Hal Renman and Art Alintucl, a sophomore who showed promise, finished one-two in the shotput.
Don Stowe, captain of the winter track squad, scores second straight first In the pole vault.
Still vainly trying for their first win of the year, the trocksters grimly faced a comparatively weak Worcester Tech team. The squad jumped off to a quick lead as Don Stowe captain of the winter track squad, came through with hif second straight first in the pole vault. Art Alin- tuck capably filled in for the injured Fienman and took a first in the shotput. Paul Bordeau turned In a sparkling upset as he raced to a first in the 220. Al Pieropan took a first in the javelin throw, and Ed Molitoris again took a first In the hammer throw. Things looked bright for the Massachusetts rooters, as the Redmen rolled up their highest total of the year, 51 2/3 points. However, when someone added up the Worcester totals, we found our- sglevs again on the short end, for the Engineers racked up 83 1/3 points.
In the last meet of the year, the Redmen were com- pletely outclassed by a Williams squad that had every-
thing its own way. Hal Fienman took the only first place of the day when he took his third first of the year in the shotput. Ernie Mandeville took o second In the javelin throw, Ed Molitoris finished second in the hammer throw, and Halsey Allen finished second in the two mile. This was the extent of the Massachusetts scoring for the day. When the slaughter was over, Williams had rolled up the almost perfect score of I 12-23.
With the close of the dual meets, the squad attempted to pull themselves together to make a respectable show- ing In the Yankee Conference Championships. However, their bad luck was not yet destined to leave them, and they finished last, with the Ignominious fate of not scor- ing a point.
Traveling to the New England Intercollegiates, the squad again went scoreless. In this disappointing way the Redmen closed the worst season in their history.

The varsity tennis team brought home the first Yankee Conference championship in the history of the University last spring. Competing in Durham, New hlampshire, the team swept the singles, doubles, and team crowns as fhey unseated past champion Rhode Island State in the tourney. Captain John Cleverly took the singles crown, and teamed up with Tom McManus to annex the doubles crown.
The team opened the season with a hard-fought vic- tory over Holy Cross. In the next match, nationally famous North Carolina gave the Redmen a tennis les- son. The team suffered their second loss in a row as Vermont nosed them out in a tight match. They bounced back to take their next five matches in a row, including the Yankee Conference crown, as they beat Clark, W.P.I., Connecticut, Trinity, and Tufts. In the last match, Rhode Island gained some revenge for the tourney as they trounced the Redmen who closed the season with a 6-3 record.

This year's varsity football season goes down in the annals as a paradox. The books show that coach Tommy Eck's 1950 eleven won three and lost five — on the face of it not a very auspicious record. But a closer look shows the Eckmen in a different light. For one thing, the team maintained a 27-point average up to its seventh game of the season. As for total points scored, the Redmen were just seven points under the total attained by their combined opposition. In two decisions adverse for the Eckmen, the margin of victory for the opposing teams was only one point.
Two new teams — Williams and Northeastern — were powerful opposition on the Redmen agenda this year. But both learned that the Eckmen were far from easy marks. Williams made it, by one touchdown only. Favored Northeastern's hapless hfuskies, however, didn t make it, the Redmen taking them with points to spare.
Only in the game with Springfield did the Redmen find themselves outplayed. The Gymnasts hit hard and effectively, their heavy line and deceptive backfield
setting the Redman back for their only shutout of the season.
And so it went: tough opposition, tough breaks, tough won-loss column. The entire campus, however, in acknowledging the final result, takes a second look and says — nice going, Redmen!
REDMEN SKIN BOBCATS Exhibiting Coach Tommy Eck's new split T formation for the first time, the Redmen thrilled a capacity crowd with sparkling pass plays and speedy ground work as they downed the Bobcats 26-0. Outstanding for Massa- chusetts were Captain Marty Anderson and Noel Ree- benacher. Marty, beginning his last Redman season, scored two touchdowns and hurled the pigskin for a third. Reebenocher, a sophomore, not only made his mark as a brilliant field general but contributed a beau- tiful 60-yard run through the Bates defenses in the fourth period, the result of which was another Redmen TD on the next play. Fumbling and penalties marred the Eck- men's play considerably, but otherwise the team gave promise of a big season.
TECH TOPS ECKMEN With one bad break after another, the Redmen, playing their first game away, fell to an outplayed and outrun Worcester Tech eleven. An attempted conversion that went just a hair wide, a first down missed by inches, a beautiful interception that bounced unexpectedly into

a Techmon's hands for an eventual score, and a crucial fumble — all these contributed to the tough 21-20 deci- sion against the Eckmen. Though first blood was drawn by the Engineers, it was the Redmen who commanded the field most of the way. The Eckmen were really on the go in the second and third periods, their plays culminat- ing in three tallies and two conversions. The fourth period, however, was disastrous for the Redmen. Recov- ery of a Massachusetts fumble by Tech set up the latter's second TD, and'minutes later Tech's third tally came coupled with the decisive point that lost the game for the Redmen.
EPHMEN EDGE ECKMEN Williams College, new addition to the list of Redmen opposition, downed Coach Eck's squad in the latter's
third tussle ot the season. The Eph's Weston Field was filled with pigskin missiles as aerial attack donninated the play of both elevens. The Ephs opened powerfully in the first quarter with two touchdowns and seemed to have the Pedmen hamstrung. But in the second period Massa- chusetts bounced bock with two of its own tallies and followed up with another TD in the third. Williams unleashed its full power at this point and pushed across two more scores in the third and matched the two the Redmen got in the fourth. And after the air cleared, the Eckmen found themselves on the short end of a big 42-34 score. Captain Marty Anderson starred again as leading ground-gainer of the day while Ray Beaulac was responsible for three of the five Massachusetts touchdowns.
RAM RAMPAGE
The Rhode Island Rams, on their Own Meade Field, gave Massachusetts its third straight defeat. The Redmen were m top form as they made over twenty first downs end passed effectively. The Rams, however, were favored with more spectatcular success in that they pulled off a few long runs for scores and had their only pass completions, three in number, count for tallies. The battle was a see-saw one until the Rams got the lead in lhe second period. After this, whatever the Redmen did, Ihe Roms matched and so kept ahead. A fourth period rally on the part of the Bay Staters came to nothing. The game ended with the Rhode Islanders ahead 38-27. The absence of spunky Noel Reebenacher, hurt in the Wil- liams game, was felt by the Eckmen.
ECKMEN NIP HUSKIES The Redmen's stifled fury was released on Northeastern's hluskie: as Coach Eck's combine returned to home quarters. The Redmen, striving to get bock into the win column, ran big loops around the favored Huskies. The first quarter was indecisive with no scoring mode by either club. Then, in the second period, came carnage. Noel Reebenacher, out for two weeks with an injury, came in to zip across the stripes for the Eckmen's first tally of the day. Next, after recovering a fumble, the Redmen sent George Howland plunging over the line late in the third period. In the fourth, Jerry Doherty's 52-yard run resulted in another score, while a bit later George Howland again did the honors after nabbing an

Anderson pass. At no point were the Huskies a threat, finally going down by a score of 27-6.
BAY STATERS CRUSH CATAMOUNTS Keeping its home record untainted, Massachusetts enter- tained Vermont's Roaring Catamounts to a roaring 27-13 setback on a rainy, soggy Alumni Field. Initial honors went to the Green and Gold in the first period as they ended a 34-yard drive with a tolly. On the sub- sequent kickoff the Maroon and White's Marty Ander- son raced the ball back eighty yards to the visitor's eleven, from which point Jack Benoit took it over the stripes. Later in the same period an 88-yard drive had another score at the end of it for the Redmen. A third- period interception of a Catamount pass brought a third Redman score, while a punt return in the fourth period set up a final tally. Jock Benoit starred in carry- ing over three Redmen scores.

a 26-0 trouncing. A heavy line fronted for the Gym- nast's deceptive backfield antics as Springfield made one TD after another. A short drive early in the first period brought the first Springfield score, while a pass attack resulted in a Gmynast score later in the same period. Another Springfield TD came in the second period fol- lowed by one in the third and a last in the fourth. Throughout the entire tilt the Redmen were unable to stall the Gymnast's attack or get going offensively them- selves. A bright spot for the Redmen was Bob hkilan whose line game was nothing short of terrific.
JUMBOS TAKE ECKMEN Stung by the defeat inflicted by the Springfield Gym- nasts, the Redmen journeyed to Medford for their last game of the season against their archrival — Tufts. A homecoming crowd of Tufts partisans, seeing the Jumbo's offense stalled time and again, nevertheless found their team on the better end of a 7-6 decision when time ran out.

Tufts made its only tally-and-conversion in the second period with the Rednnen bouncing right back via a sixty-yard pass from Reebenacher to Phil Roth. Phil took the ball over for the only Massachusetts score. The conversion, a bit too far to the right of the post, failed, a tough break for Marty Anderson whose season's gridwork for the Redmen had been in the superlative category. In the third period the Eckmen were on the march but fumbled and lost their chances in that quarter. Again in the fourth frame the Redmen threatened and looked as though they would make it, but the minutes ran out and the Jumbos, for the fourth time in the series, had a 7-6 score over the Redmen.

The varsity soccer team ended a poor season with a record of two victories, seven losses, and one tie, the only two victories being over the hapless W.P.I, and Clark University teanns.
Perhaps the squad's highest achievement was its l-l tie with the University of Connecticut, always a cham- pionship contender. Its lowest ebb was undoubtedly the 6-0 loss to Amherst College, New England champions for the second straight year. But it was the first time in four years that Amherst could manage to squeeze a victory out of their "country cousins."
Coach Larry Briggs has high expectations for next year's squad because the many sophomores have gained valuable experience and this year's strong freshman team will add its weight to the scales.

The 1950-51 edition of the var- sity basketball team opened the season in Boston . . . they were paced by Bill Prevey and Ed McCauley until the two left the teann.
BASKETBALL
The pre-season forecast for the varsity basketball team was that we would finally have a championship team. However, the loss of six members of the varsity half-way through the season was largely responsible for making the team's 6-15 record go down as one of the most dis- astrous In the history of the school. The team started the year strong^ but by the time they reached the char- ity game with Amherst, • they were just about through. Much of the little success that the team had was due to the consistent playing of Captain Ray Gagnon and Bob Johnston, the only starting members of the varsity basketball squad that are graduating. As Coach Ball so philosophically put it, "Walt until next year."
HUSKIES HOWL
The 1950-5! edition of the varsity basketball team opened their season In Boston against a strong North- eastern quintet. Northeastern jumped off to an early 4-0 lead, but the Redmen fought back to a 5-4 advantage. However, the margin proved short-lived, as the Zobilskl- men went bock Into the lead, and were never again headed. Paced by Bill Prevey with 25 points and Ed McCauley with 19, the Maroon and White vainly tried to stay In the boll game. The Boston team was not to be denied, however, as they romped to a 42-28 half-time lead, and an eventual 80-63 win.
TECH TIPPED The Redmen returned to the Amherst College court to face the Engineers from Worcester Tech. The team jumped to an early 8-0 lead on baskets by Bill Prevey and Ed McCauley. However, the Engineers fought their way back to a 22-22 tie at halftime. The whole story of the second half appears In Easy Ed McCauley's phe- nomenal shooting as he dropped In seventeen points In the second half for a night's total of 24. The gome
proved close until the final minutes when McCauley sewed up the 54-49 win. The victory proved costly for the Redmen as Prevey suffered a broken hand and was lost for three weeks.
BRUINS BRUISE BALLMEN Playing their second game in two days, the Maroon and White ran up against a better Brown team In the Amherst Cage, and suffered their second loss of the season. Led by McCauley's 17 points, and Gagnon's 15, the Massachusetts quintet managed to stay within reach of the Bruins as they reached half-time only one point down, 30-29. However, the veteran Brown team returned to walk away from the Redmen in the second half as they racked up a 74-58 win to give the Bay Staters a 1-2 record.
BALLMEN BOUNCED Traveling to Williamstown for a gome against a power- ful Williams College quintet, the Redmen suffered an ignominious defeat, 57-39. Williams took on early lead and raced away to a half-time advantage of 32-20. The Redmen made a game attempt to fight back, but proved powerless at the basket as the Ephmen pulled away. High scorers for the University were Ed McCauley with 9 points, and Captain Roy Gagnon with 7. GAGNON COMES THROUGH The Bollmen hit the road again to face a comparatively weak Clark quintet at Worcester. Displaying their usual road slump, the Redmen managed to take a 21-19 half- time edge. In the second half, the winless Clark team came to life and staged a battle right down to the last minute of play. With just over sixty seconds remaining, Gagnon sunk two quick baskets that proved to be the tying and winning points, as the Redmen froze the boll to notch a 52-20 win. Gagnon, regaining his old court wizardry, was high scorer with 16 points, while McCauley (12) and Ostman (10) also hit double figures for the team.
Cap+ain Ray Gagnon, playing his usual brand of ball, proved to be the sparkplug of the cagers throughout the season.
Although the season's record was not too bright, the fans were kept interested by the sparkling ploy on the part of several of the players.
Goldman, Gunn, Johnston, Gagnon, Captain; Morgan, Gourde Barrett
TERRIERS TRIPPED
Playing on their home court for the first time this season, the Redmen faced the cocky visitors from Boston Uni- versity before a highly partisan crov^d. The Maroon and White raced to a 32-19 half-time lead, and seemed ready to romp home with the win. The Terriers, however, returned to the court displaying winning form. Holding the Redmen scoreless for nine minutes, they moved up to within one point of a tie. The Bolimen soon regained their eye, and taking advantage of the freeze, they held the ball as much as possible, to rack up a 49-45 victory. Scoring honors for the night went to Gagnon with 13 points, while McCauley and White also hit double figures.
HILLTOPPERS ON TOP Massachusetts traveled to Hartford sporting a win streak of three straight games as they faced a strong Trinity team. For the second year in a row, the Hill- toppers proved to be too much for them as they romped to an easy 74-60 victory. The Redmen tried to stay close during the first half, and managed to remain within one point, 32-31. The sceond half proved to be all Trinity as the U. of M. dropped their fourth game of the season as against four wins. McCauley (15) and Gagnon (13) provided the only scoring punch for the comparatively impotent Redmen.
WILDCATS DECLAWED Seeking o return to winning ways, the Mossachusetts quintet came up against their Yankee Conference rivals
from New Hampshire. For the first half, the Wildcats seemed too strong for the Ballmen, as they moved out to a 27-24 lead. In the second half, Captain Ray Gag- non regained his eye and sank fifteen points in twenty minutes to personally lead the Redmen to an easy 55-42 win. Bob Johnston took up the slock in the team as he hit for I I points.
CARDINALS CAGED Once again, Bill Prevey provided the scoring spark for the Redmen, as they faced a strong Wesleyan quintet just before finals. Bill threw In fifteen points in the first half, but Wesleyan held a lead of 27-25. The Ballmen came back strong in the second half as Prevey raised his total to 27 for the night, highest total of the year. Ray Gunn, coming In with two minutes to play, combined with Prevey to put the Maroon and White out In front, 59-56. Ed McCauley gave strong support as he hooped I 3 points.
REDMEN ACED The between-semester vacation of the Ballmen was cut short as a last minute game was scheduled against A. I.e. Designed for the benefit of the many conventions on campus, all the Redmen gained was another entry in the lost column. The Aces jumped to a quick I 1-2 lead early in the first period, but Massachusetts came storm- ing back to take a 22-16 edge. The lead was short-lived as the Black Aces moved up to a 23-22 margin at half- time. The second holf was all A.I.C. as they romped to a 51-41 victory. Captain Ray Gagnon (14) provided the

main scoring spark for the Redmen. Prevey tossed in 12 points, most of them in the first half, while Ed White threw in eight points in the last half.
MASSACHUSETTS SUNK Playing a veteran quintet at the Coast Guard Acad- emy, the Redmen added another loss to their total as their opponents raced away to a commanding fourteen point lead. The varsity squad tried to fight back, but was down seven points at the half. Late in the third quarter, the Ballmen tied it up, but the Coast Guard team coolly pulled away to a 64-56 victory. High for the night were Bill Prevey with 13 points and Bob John- ston with 1 0.
SPRINGFIELD STAMPEDE Losing the services of most of their starting five, UMass faced a strong Springfield five in the Cage. Led by Captain Gagnon, the team raced away to an early lead. Gagnon hooped 13 points in the first half, while Morgan and Bourdeau each hit for six as the team took a 33-25 lead. The second half proved to be a different
story. Gagnon left on fouls early in the third period, and Springfield surged back. Morgan and Bourdeau tried to keep the team in the game, but Springfield proved too strong for them as they took a 67-53 decision. Gagnon, Bourdeau and Morgan each hit for thirteen points.
RHODE ISLAND ROMPS A fighting U. of M. quintet met a power-laden Rhode Island squad before a capacity Winter Carnival crowd at the Cage. Rhode Island jumped to an early lead and was never headed. The Redmen vainly tried to fight bock, but the Rams ran to a 39-28 half-time lead. Com- ing bock strong in the second half, they managed to move within four points of the Rams but the opponents rallied, and romped to a 75-58 victory. The loss evened our Yankee Conference record at 1-1, and made the season's total read 5-8. Captain Ray Gagnon was high scorer with 14 points.
JUMBO JIVE Traveling to Tufts College, the varsity basketball team tried in vain to break their three game losing streak. Tufts took an early lead, but the Redmen came right bock to go ahead 21-16. The rest of the game proved to be all Tufts as they took a 37-27 half-time edge, and rolled up the highest total of the season to date against the Redmen in winning 89-58. Gagnon's 15 points led the Massachusetts attack, while Goodwin of Tufts set a new record with 38 points during the gome.
NORWICH NAILED On the first leg of a two game trip, the Redmen met a strong Norwich quintet and broke a four-gome losing streak as they won going away, 65-50. The Cadets managed to gain a half-time tie, 30-30, with the Ball- men, but thanks to high scorer Paul Bourdeau who hooped 21 points, and Captain Ray Gagnon who hit for 19, the Redmen had little trouble in posting their sixth win of the current campaign.
Captain Roy Gagnon, although not always high scorer, woi the spark with his sparkling play and timely baskets.
A.I.C. took a 51-41 victory. Bill Prevey, up for shot, tossed in twelve points in the losing cause.

CATS UNCAGED
Completing their Northern swing, the Redmen met the Catamounts of Vermont. Fresh from their win over Nor- wich, the Ballmen hoped to make it two in a row. How- ever, Vermont managed to take a 27-25 half-time lead, and finally wrapped up the ball game, 60-48. Captain Ray Gagnon maintained his scoring pace for the Uni- versity as he hooped 16 points in a losing cause.
EAGLES FLY HIGH Returning to their home court, the Ballmen came up against a potent Boston College quintet. Faced with superior height, the Redmen were unable to get started as the Eagles took a 28-19 lead at the midway mark. Massachusetts came storming back in the second half, but were unable to make up the deficit as they dropped the tilt, 59-43. High scorers for the team were Chip Morgan with 13 points, and Ray Gunn with 9.
MASSACHUSETTS CONN-KED The varsity team travelled to Storrs to meet perennially strong Connecticut squad. Connecticut, needing a win

High scorer for the varsity was reliable Ray Gagnon who hooped fifteen points for the night. REDMEN EDGED Returning home for their last home game, the varsity squad made a strong bid to break a three game losing streak when they met the Engineers from RPI. The Ballmen jumped off to an early lead and assumed com- mand at half-time, 33-25. The Cherry and V^hite came storming back, and managed to tie up the game with three minutes to play. A combination of a foul, a bas-
ket, and a freeze gave the Engineers the game, 58-56. High for the night were Paul Bourdeau with 20 points, and Captain Ray Gagnon with 18.
PROVIDENCE REIGNS In their last gome of the current season, the Redmen made their first appearance in history at the Boston Garden against a strong Providence College quintet. The first quarter saw Providence jump off to an 18-11 margin. This proved to be the closest that the Redmen could get throughout the game as the Friars moved out to a 42-24 lead at the half, and an ultimate 72-53 vic- tory. The loss gave the Ballmen a season's record of 6-15. Playing in their last college game. Captain Roy Gagnon, Bob Johnston, and Phil Goldman teamed up with consistent playing to keep UMass in the game. High scorers for the night were Art Barrett with 12 points.

INDOOR TRACK
Indoor frock began on o combino+ion bright and dark note. Individually, Halsey Allen's breaking of the University 2-mile record was the event of the day, but collectively, the Redmen could not stand up ogainst Worcester Tech's onslaught, taking only three events. Connecticut, the Redmen's second adversary, also allowed the UMassers only three events.
The Derbymen then went on to disaster in the meet with Northeastern, who piled up nearly 100 points as they swept almost every event from the Red- men. The first of March was the last of the season for the Redmen tracksters and a final defeat was added to their three previous ones as Holy Cross treated its hosts to an almost 40-point setback.
Though the season was marked at times by outstanding individual stints, the Redmen locked the combined strength necessary for garnering points.

TUFTS 13— MASSACHUSETTS I
With their first two scheduled games against Suffolk and New Hampshire postponed, the Redmen began their season against the Jumbos of Tufts at the Boston Arena. The tilt set a gloomy precedent for the rest of the Massachusetts season, the Redmen going down under a barrage of 13 goals. Walt Kenney's tally was the only marker of the game for the Redmen.
SPRINGFIELD COLLEGE 3— MASSACHUSETTS I Scene of the second defeat for the Redmen was the Springfield Coliseum, though they fared much better against the Maroons than they had against the Jumbos. Walt Kenney was responsible for staving off a shut-out by jamming the puck through in the remaining few seconds of the middle period. Springfield's steady bat- tering at the Redmen's goal produced three tollies.
NEW HAMPSHIRE 7— MASSACHUSETTS 3 Playing In Lewis Rink at Durham In the Granite State, the Redmen ran up against a wall in the persons of the Wildcat pucksters. Al Graham made the first goal for the Redmen in the first period but the Wildcats charged bock with two of their own in that period and another in the second period, capped by four more In the third. The Redmen played hard and fast to moke up points, with Walt Kenney and Fred Lahey each coming through with tallies. But the try proved unsuccessful. TUFTS 6— MASSACHUSETTS 0 In their repeat tilt with the Jumbos, the Redmen fell again, this time In a close-to-home gome at the Spring- field Coliseum. Captain Ed Frydryk, former All-New England Honorable Mention goalie, kept the score from
mounting to anything like the 13-1 banging inflicted by the three-rlnk Jumbos earlier In the season.
R.P.I. 2— MASSACHUSEHS I On a beautiful home indoor rink, the Engineers of Rens- selaer edged the Redmen in the latters' most thrilling game of the season. The U. of M. initiated the scoring with a tally by Marty Anderson, aided by Al Graham, In the first period. The second period sow this tally countered by one by the Engineers, though Goalie Ed Frydryk mode a spectacular try at halting the puck. The Engineers in the third period whipped through an- other score, and Redmen Coach Bill Needham set up a six-man offensive team in an effort to tie things up — but the attempt failed.
AMHERST COLLEGE 2— MASSACHUSETTS 0 Neighboring Amherst College handed the UMass puck- sters their sixth defeat. With no practice time behind them since before the second Tufts game, the Redmen were unable to stop the flashy Purple-and-WhItes, who made a marker in both the first and second periods. WILLIAMS COLLEGE 7— MASSACHUSETTS 4 A final period was put to the Redmen's dismal 1951 season with the Ephmen downing the practice-less UMossers by 3 points. U. of M. scores were made by Bill Graham (2), Walt Kenney, and Carl Aylward, but Williams had command of the ice almost all the way. This "final period" can well be used In making an exclamation point to emphasize the fact that the Red- men desperately needed (and will need) on indoor rink. The amazing thing was that Coach Bill Needham's puck- sters did as well as they did without practice.

The swimming team could well boast about its season this year, although Its 4-4 record does not show any- thing spectacular. The face-value of this record fails to reflect, however, facts which make the season, if not spectacular, at least one of which the Redman can justly be proud.
Highlight of the season, for instance, was the meet with Coast Guard, in which the Rogersmen from land- locked mid-Massachusetts inundated the amphibious Guardsmen. Not to be slighted either is the fact that Dick Cornfoot twice bested the pool and college rec- ords for the 200-yard backstroke. And the loss to Bowdoin, sustained by only a couple of splashes, if it had been a win, could hove made the record on im- pressive 5-J for the Redmen.

Playing a somewhat shortened schedule, the varsity rifle team fired in eight dual matches during the coCirse of the season. Shooting in an erratic manner, the squad could only gain three wins for the year. Led by high scoring Captain Bill Stanley, the team hit their highest total of the year in their next to last match against Boston College. At the conclusion of the season, the entire team, under the able coaching of Sgt. Horry Piatt, traveled to Storrs, Connecticut to participate in the finals of the southern region of the New England College Rifle League. The top two teams in this tourney went on to face the winners of the northern regional finals for the New England championship.
Sergeant Piatt checks with the marksmen ... a comparatively good season was the result of long practice and good coaching.

Hold your fire until you see the bull in the sights . . . shooting the place up for honors.
Competing with colleges and universities throughout the country, the varsity pistol team held its own against some of the best shots in the nation. Under the expert coaching of Joe Rogers, the team fired nine postal matches and three shoulder matches during the season. The results of the nine postal meets saw the Redmen drop three matches to Michigan State, one to Annap- olis, and one to Arizona. To balance their losses, the team fired against and won their meets with N. Y. Mari- time College, Cornell, and Texas A. and M. The team reached its peak in the Texas A. and M. meet and the Michigan State meet when they rolled up their highest point total of the year, 1313. The showing of the seven man team against such formidable opponents reflected much credit upon the University.

Coach Red Ball's frosh charges played four games against scheduled opposition and came out on the short end of a 1-3 won-loss column.
The Ballmen were walloped soundly only once and participated in walloping an opponent themselves once. The other two games were close, Amherst College frosh beating the UMassers 5-4, and the Connecticut frosh taking them 5-3. A real drub- bing was administered by the frosh of Springfield College who took the Little Indians by a score of 14-0. To make up for this loss, the frosh administered a drub- bing of their own by beating Worcester Academy 17-2.

The frosh track team began its season on a dismal note, and though it bounced back with a noticeable improvement in its second meet, this defeat set the theme for the season.
The frosh of the U. of Conn, administered a 109-4 catastrophe on the Derbymen in the opener. This was followed by a trip to Hartford to meet Trinity, who treated its guest to another defeat, 77-39.
The neighborliness of the Amherst frosh took the form of a third loss for the Little Indians by a score of 88-37. Travel to Williamstown wasn't very profitable either, the Ephmen frosh heading the UMassers 92-34.
The season finally ended with a record of 0-5 after Deerfield Academy beat the Little Redmen too.

FROSH SOCCER
This year rne University came up with the most success- ful and experienced freshman soccer team in its his- tory. This scrappy and cosmopolitan aggregation kicked its way to four victories in six games, besides winning all three of its non-scheduled scrimmages.
The season's highlight for the Little Indians was prob- ably their 2-1 victory over Williston Academy, starting them on an undefeated four-game string and breaking the back of a highly touted Williston squad.
Adding strength to the team were three foreign stu- dents hailing from England, Slam, and China.
An Interesting feature of this year's season was the Initial game In which the Redmen booters were downed by the Connecticut frosh in an overtime thriller 3-2. Connecticut took tricky tactical advantage of gale velocity winds to win the hard-fought tussle.
