FOREWORD
"People-places-and-things." A well known tele- vision newscaster uses this phrase to introduce special events on his nightly telecast. You are invited to share in our version of people-places- and-things. The people are you and your class- mates; the places are located on and near your campus and the things are the events that took place while you were here. All yearbooks are memory books. Your memories have been pre- served between the covers of this edition of STOSAG. Our goal has been to produce a distinctive yearbook for you. We hope you enjoy it.

Stockbridge School of Agriculture
University of Massachusetts Amherst, Massachusetts
Adrian Herve Lindsey was born on a farm in Bryan, Ohio and became a New Englander in 1929 when he accepted a professorship in Agricultural Economics at Massachusetts Agri- cultural College, now the University of Massa- chusetts. He received his training at the Uni- versity of Illinois and Iowa State College, earn- ing his doctorate at the latter institution.
Since 1935, Dr. Lindsey has served as Head of the Department of Agricultural Economics and Farm Management. After thirty years of teaching hundreds of Stockbridge students the fundamentals of economics, accounting, business management and law, Dr. Lindsey will retire on September 1, 1959. We wish him many years of happiness and proudly dedicate the 1959 STOSAG to an outstanding educator and friend.
Dedication
Adrian H. Lindsey
Tribute
When the new land grant college of Massa- chusetts prepared to open its doors in 1867, a young farmer from nearby Hadley was sum- moned to teach the first course in agriculture. LEVI STOCKBRIDGE was chosen because he firmly believed that practical farming needed to be supplemented by scientific knowledge. The young men who were enrolled during the tenure of Profesor Stockbridge were privileged to receive the counsel and guidance of one of the world's best agricultural educators. Levi Stock- bridge had faith in his teaching, in the future of his college and in the future of his state. We are the present beneficiaries of that faith as graduates of the Stockbridge School in this year of 1959.
Levi Stockbridge

Willard W. Gay
WILLARD W. GAY graduated from Massa- chusetts Agricultural College in 1891. He is one of the few surviving graduates of this inti- tution who has had the privilege of being taught by Levi Stockbridge. Mr. Gay recalls that in 1887 Professor Stockbridge returned to the Gollege to teach the freshman course in agriculture.
The sound principles taught by Stockbridge left their mark on Willard Gay who later be- came an outstanding landscape architect. Many parks and housing developments along the east- ern seaboard from Massachusetts to the Bahama Islands have been constructed from plans sub- mitted by Willard Gay. His accomplishments are a tribute to the faith that Levi Stockbridge had in those who were to follow him.
Memoriam
Ralph A. Van Meter - 1894 - 1958 - A Former President
Ralph A. Van Meter came to Massachusetts Agricultural College in 1917 following gradu- ation from Ohio State University. For thirty- seven years he served the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as Extension Horticulturist, Pro- fessor of Pomology, Head of the Department of Pomology, Acting President and President of the University of Massachusetts until his retirement
in 1954 for reasons of health. In addition to heavy University administrative duties he served as Chairman of the Town Finance Committee and was active in many public and community projects. Memories of him will always remain on the hill of our campus as we pass the beau- tiful dormitory bearing his name. Arthur P. French Head of Dep't of Horticulture
ADMINISTRATION

J. Paul Mather
For a complex modern society, poised on the edge of the space age, specialized education beyond high school has become not a luxury, but a necessity. Even those with whom we disagree ideologically as a nation agree that the scientific and efficient production of food and fiber will always be one of the primary problems of any advancing society. Agriculture is a very vital part of the program of a nation characterized technically by atoms, automation, and alloys. The Stockbridge School represents today, as it has throughout its history, a vital contribution to the educational and training needs of our complex and evolving society. May each of you as you go on to greater ac- complishment appreciate the benefits of your efforts on the campus at the University of Massachusetts.
J. Paul Mather President
Shannon McCune
Greetings to the members of the Class of 1959 of the Stockbridge School. This book with its pictures and its accounts of your life here will bring back to you through the years many happy memories. The Stockbridge plan of education which combines practical experience in the field with theory and skill courses taken on the campus has equipped you well for a useful and effective life in the future years. By going to such a school on the University campus you have been able to participate in and have con- tributed color and enthusiasm to the total life of our University community. May you have the best of luck and think often of your Alma Mater.
Shannon McCune Provost
The Stockbridge School of Agriculture is known nationally for its excellence as a technical vocational school of agriculture and related sub- jects. Each graduate will have the competence in his chosen field to begin his career if he has taken full advantage of his opportunities while here.
Your education has just begun when you have graduated from Stockbridge. By availing yourself of other offerings of this University you may continue to become more efficient and productive in your chosen profession. Dale H. Sieling Dean of the College of Agriculture
Dale H. Sieling
It is a pleasure to extend best wishes to each member of the Class of 1959. I trust that you may have learned that education is a never-ending process. At the very least, you should keep learning new things until you are 90 — and hopefully until you reach the age of 100. In many ways, self education is more satisfying than the formal classroom type of instruction. If attending the Stockbridge School of Agriculture has succeeded in rnaking you more inquisitive than when you arrived as a freshman, then I am sure that your two years here have been thoroughly worth while.

Memoriam
Charles Gamble — A Former Student
Charles Gamble, a Forestry major in the class of 1958 passed away one month after his graduation. Those who knew him remember Charles as a mature individual with a friendly cooperative attitude toward his fellow students
and instructors. Friends of Stockbridge were shocked at the sudden death of this fine young man who was ready to take his place in the world. Our sincere sympathy is extended to his family and friends.

Fifteen members of the present senior class constitute the 1959 Stosag Honorary Society. Stosag was estabHshed in 1937 in order to recognize the members of the senior class who had maintained high scholastic averages during their two years at Stockbridge. Election to the society requires that the student have an average grade of 3.4 quality points or higher. The students whose names appear on this year's honor roll are placed in the order of rank.

Alpha Tau Gamma
By acquiring a housemother for the frater- nity, Alpha Tau Gamma took a giant stride forward during the past year. Major physical improvements were completed which provided adequate facilities for the housemother. In addition, the entire first floor was remodeled. These improvements were made possible by a cooperative work plan involving all members and pledges. Funds were raised through car washes and a "Slave for a Day" drive which was the first of its kind on the campus. These two projects earned $400 for the house. An open house and tea to welcome our housemother was the first social function of the year. Winter Carnival was a disappointment because of the lack of snow, but we still maintained our sec- ondary honors from the preceding year. There were many social gatherings at A.T.G. during the year including a Roman Toga, a Twin and a Kitty party. However, the Pledge party was considered the best of all. Following the Pledge party, the annual house formal was held where twenty new members received their membership certificates. The banquet was held in the exclusive Wiggins Tavern in Northampton. Following this banquet, many of the new mem- bers left for their placement training period. They will return in the fall to resume their fraternity life and carry on the fine traditions of Alpha Tau Gamma.

SPECIAL EVENTS
Horticulture Show
A "European Square" surrounded by gar- dens, shops, and a sidewalk cafe was the theme of this year's 46th annual Horticultural Show. The student and commercial exhibits were admired by over 20,000 spectators as they walked along the paths that led through the square. Oak and birch trees shaded paths edged with green grass and benches. Colorful flower carts contributed to the foreignness of the scene. Yew hedges surrounding the grass plots gave an appearance of early English countryside.
A pink castle stood in the background of the center of the square, surrounded by a floral garden. This was an exhibit of Smith College. The Holyoke-Northampton Florists and Garden- ers Club exhibited floral designs and cut flowers. Encircling the square were student exhibits and a gayly decorated flower shop where students made and sold corsages, dried floral arrange-
ments and many other items for souvenirs. An authentic sidewalk cafe provided coffee, cider, doughnuts and sandwiches for hungry specta- tors. In addition to the floral exhibits, visitors touring the square were treated to special attractions provided by other departments. Agronomy and Turf Maintenance combined to present an interesting exhibit illustrating the old method of cigar making.
No market square would be complete with- out a well stocked fruit and vegetable stand. This exhibit added a blaze of autumn colors to the scene.
Thousands of favorable comments by the visitors leaving the 46th annual Horticultural Show indicated that this presentation was one of the best.

Food Seminar
On January 21, 22, 23, 1959, the sixth annual Food Seminar was held at the University. This three day event is sponsored by the Mass. Food Service Educational Council in cooperation with the University Food Management Course and the Universities' Stewards Club.
The theme this year was "Your Key to Successful Management." During the program four long sessions were held in the Student Union Ballroom where many speakers presented valuable information and knowledge about the food industry.
Throughout the seminar, the Universities' Stewards Club was very active preparing and serving a buffet, banquet, and cocktail party, in addition to having charge of housing and playing host to the guests. The club members also participated in a panel discussion during the first session.

Sno-Ball Dance
Again this year, Stockbridge played its annual part in the Winter Carnival Weekend by sponsoring the Sno-Ball Dance. Crystal Car- ousel, was the theme for Carnival Weekend and although snow was scarce, carnival spirit re- mained high. Decorations in the small ballroom of the Student Union consisted of silver horses and pink trimmings. Cus Perfito's band played fo.x trots, waltzes and other popular requests throughout the evening. The ballroom was filled with many couples enjoying the melodious atmosphere.

Winter Carnival
Winter Carnival week-end arrived without snow for the first time in years. Consequently, the students and thousands of people were dis- appointed because the colorful snow sculptures were missing. However, skating demonstrations by the Providence Skating Club, fireworks, and the Crystal Carousel Ball kept the carnival enthusiasts happy. The sculptures appearing on these pages are a few of the excellent productions from last year's carnival. Everyone looks forward to 1960 with the hope that the weatherman will cooperate and provide enough snow for a real "old fashioned" carnival week-end.

Little International
After four weeks of intensive fitting and practicing for the big show, the Stockbridge Animal Husbandry seniors and University Ani- mal Husbandry students, presented the 19th Annual Little International Livestock Show on March 14, 1959. This show is modeled after the International Livestock Show in Chicago, but here the students are judged on their ability to prepare, fit, and show the animal they have chosen. The two top winners in each class of Sheep, Swine, Beef Cattle, and Horses then became eligible to compete for the Premier Showmanship Award. The coveted award this year was won by Andre Duprey, a Stockbridge Animal Husbandry senior. The Reserve Premier Showmanship was won by Ted Pikul, and Phil Brouillette was awarded Honorable Men- tion. Both are Animal Husbandry Seniors in Stockbridge.
The judges were Professors L. V. Tirrell, and G. L. Smith of the University of New Hampshire's Animal Husbandry department.
In addition to the hilarious "Coed Milking Contest," a new special event was added this year. Although no award was given for the "Buckin Barrel" contest, the participants each felt a measure of self-satisfaction if they were able to stay on for even a few seconds.
The show serves a dual purpose in that it promotes a spirit of competition and sportsman- ship while giving the participants a chance to get the feeling of the show ring and gain practical knowledge.

Progress Banquet
At the annual Stockbridge Progress Ban- quet, the school's top athletes and scholars were honored by 200 people at a delicious roast beef dinner, that preceded the presentation of awards.
It may well have been tagged "Swap Gifts" night as the coaches presented their most valuable player awards and the recipients in turn gave the coaches gifts from their respective teams. Walter Lewis won the Most Valuable Player Award in basketball, while Paul Amaral walked away with honors in the football department.
Dean Jeffrey presented the outstanding freshmen and senior students who had earned a 3.4 quality point average or higher. These students earned a well deserved round of ap- plause for their achievements.

Danny Santos, Ted Pikul, Jim Hanchett and Ev Jones were the only returning lettermen to greet Coach Steve Kosakowski at the first prac- tice session last fall. Thus, Coach Steve found himself in a familiar role with a complete rebuilding job ahead. Besides the returning lettermen, the team was sparked by seniors Bob Lavin, Joe Coyne, Paul Amaral, Andy Duprey and Charlie Peckham. Although no wins were
recorded in five games, the spirit of this team never died, and each game was a hard fought contest up to the final minute of play. The outlook for 1959-60 looks promising with the return of hard running backs like Bill Bieren and Kenny Hague, and with the hustling line of Paul Lepkowski, George Cushing, Bob Allen and "Apple" Adriance.

Under new Coach Paul Kollios, the Aggies posted an unfruitful 2-9 record. With only four returning lettermen, Coach Kollios had his work cut out for him. Inexperience was the principal reason for the season's record. The team ab- sorbed seven straight losses before the win column was dented. Monson Academy became the first victim of the victory-starved Aggies. A second win over Holyoke Junior College was sweet revenge because this club had beaten the Aggies only by a slim two point margin in the first meeting. Senior Walt Lewis captured scoring honors with a fine 12 point per game average. Another senior, Marshall Cotta, was the big man off the boards. Other consistent performers throughout the season were Boh Costantino, Ed Delmolino, George Cushing and reserve Jim Mills. With four veteran performers returning next year, we are looking forward to an improved record in the 1959-60 season.
How many ilmes do I have to tell you?
Lucky for us that Cotta has four arms.

Compliment
For the second year the yearbook staff was fortunate in having Mr. James W. Callahan as its adviser.
We who have worked on this yearbook, know that we owe much of the success of the book to Mr. Callahan, for it was through his never ceasing efforts, time, and advice that we will be able to look back on the Stockbridge School with pleasant memories.
So it is that we, the students of the Stockbridge School, join together to thank you, Mr. Callahan, for all of your time and effort.

Pop Barrett
When "Pop" Barrett left the University in 1956, a friend asked about his plans for retire- ment. "Pop" quickly replied, "I am not retiring; I'm only changing jobs." The remark was taken lightly at the time but "Pop" quietly developed his photography hobby into a thriving business. Graduates of 1959 will remember him as "the friendly man behind the camera."
This issue of STOSAG records the forty-first year of the two year course at the University of Massachusetts. We express our thanks to the following people for their contributions to the success of this issue:
To all Stockbridge students for their co- operation,
To Professor James Callahan, Stosag adviser,
for his advice and assistance,
To President Mather, Provost McCune, Dean
Sieling and Director Jeffrey for their inspiring
messages.
To Koldy Studios for our e.xcellent portraits.
To "Pop" Barrett for our group pictures and
sports coverage,
To the people in the Short Course olBce for
all they have done for us.
And to all those who have helped in any way
to make this yearbook a success.
-The 1959 STOSAG Staff

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