THE VALUE OF AGRICULTURE TO NEW ENGLAND
In the "good old days", from 1620 to about I960, most people living in New England had some understanding of agriculture and its value to them in their daily lives. Since the late I950's, the numbers of farmers in New England drastically declined, therefore their visibility and political influence also declined. During this same period of time, large areas around our cities were becoming urbanized, creating many opportunities for, and demands on, a different segment of agriculture, the growing ornamental horticulture industry.
You, now alumni of the Stockbridge School, can understand me when I say, "it's very difficult to measure the total value of the different segments of agriculture to New England or to Massachusetts". 1980 statistics on cash receipts from agricultural marketings show one measure of value to New England:
|
New England |
Massachusetts |
|
|
Animal & Poultry |
1034 mil. of $ |
124 |
|
Vegetable & Field Crops |
210 " " " |
41 |
|
Large & Small Fruits |
91 " " " |
46 |
|
Forests |
19 " " " |
2 |
|
Greenhouse & Nursery |
167 " " " |
92 |
To these dollar figures, we should add a large portion of the taxes paid by farmers, landscape contractors, arborists and the many other businesses that serve the agricultural industry. We should also add some dollars as a measure of agricultures social and aesthetic values.
Believe me, there are more and more people who are beginning to appreciate the social and aesthetic values of agriculture such as: I) the tourism/hospitality industry which is now worried about the loss of farmers who traditionally have provided picturesque New England farm scenes and have kept much of our land cleared) 2) urban dwellers who need trees, shrubs and flowers for peace of mind and for beauty? 3) and beautiful parks, recreational areas, and golf courses where social stress can be vented in a positive way. How many dollars would you assign to these values? I'm sure it would be substantial!
If you are ever asked, "is agriculture valuable to New England"? I hope that you will respond similar to the way I do. My response is: "You bet your good life it is"!

FOR THE CLASS OF 1984
It is very possible that I will be retiring in the summer of 1984. The twelve years that I have been Associative Director of the Stockbridge School, have been twelve of the best years of my life and I will miss all the fun and excitement that went along with my job.
My love affair with the Stockbridge School of Agriculture actually began when I was a junior in high school and attended my very first formal at AT6, and it has gone on non-stop ever since. I love the School, I love the students, I love the alumni, and I believe that the Stockbridge School is the finest school of its kind In the country. Our alumni prove this over and over by the successful lives they lead.
Soon, you too will be alumni and I do not fear for your futures. You have had the privilege of receiving the best education that money can buy and certainly that is a great asset. But it is my confidence in you as "Stockbridge People" that assures me of your success in the world. "Stockbridge people" are mature, dependable, not afraid to take chances, not afraid to try something different, and always willing to work. This willingness is your greatest strength. And along with this, you have my best wishes for a happy and rewarding life.
The Class of 1974 was special to me because we entered the Stockbridge School together as freshmen and freshman director. The Class of 1984 will be equally special to me because, together, we will be leaving the Stockbridge School with tears in our eyes.
lona Mae Reynolds Associate Director, Stockbridge School Of Agriculture
FAREWELL MISS REYNOLDS
The Stockbridge School of Agriculture has seen many changes since it began in 1918. Change is something which can be very controversial. Some will never accept a change, while others will welcome it with open arms.
The year of 1984 brings with it a change which we all agree will be very difficult. It is with great regret that we must say good-bye to Miss lona Mae Reynolds. Miss Reynolds has been our Associate Director for twelve slendid years. She is the finest example of Body, Heart and Soul, and everything that our fine school represents.
It is highly unlikely that anyone realized what the Stockbridge School of Agriculture was to gain when Miss Reynolds was hired as Associate Direc- tor more than a decade ago. This remarkable woman has thrilled us all with her very efficient and down-to-earth manner, and she has made the "Stock- bridge Experience" much more special for both students and faculty alike with her warm presence.
So, Miss Reynolds, it is for all this, and all that is felt yet remains unsaid, that we dedicate Stosag '84 to you, our favorite woman in agriculture.
Now, as we hear our recessional song, we have the distinguished honor of becoming Stockbridge alumni with your blessing. And may we turn the tables, and wish you the greatest of success in your retirement, that very same success which you have exemplified throughout your working career at Stockbridge and the University.
Congratulations
Miss lona Mae Reynolds!

SENATE
JOANIE DAMON
We, the Stosag staff, along with the Stockbridge Student Senate, and the P.A.C. staff, would like to thank Joanie Damon, Senate Office Secretary, for all the help she has given us through the school year. She has followed us and stood behind us, through those long senate meetings, and in the often lonely senate office.
Solving problems, relaying messages, running errands, typing, and answering numerous questions (not to mention supplying candy for all sugar-craving visitors) are just a few of her irreplaceable skills which always seem to be done with a smile. She is a giver of advice, of incentive, of encouragement, of friendship, and of herself. No one can substitute the pleasant welcome Joanie gives to all who enter Room 411.
Thank you Joanie, for being there for us, and for being the beautiful person you arel

PROFESSOR EDWARD PIRA
At this time, the Stosag staff would like to thank Professor Edward Pira, Yearbook Advisor, for his sincere concern in the production of this yearbook. His enthusiasm was a constant reminder that we must not only exert ourselves in creating a final product, but that we must take care as to the quality of that product.
This caring for Stosag, as well as for his students, gives Professor Pira a special quality which few others can match. He is a man of patience and of principle. He has helped to motivate and reassure us.
Professor Pira, you are one of a kind! Thank you.

ALPHA
TAU GAMMA
The tree grows and extends branches into the sky, and leaves fill out the small twigs on the branches to produce food to keep the tree strong and healthy.
A.T.G. is basically the same concept as the tree. The more we grow and extend our branches into the sky, the stronger and healthier we will become. The massive tree loses leaves every year to prepare for winter and await spring, as does A.T.G. by graduating seniors every spring and enrolling new brothers in the fall.
I am just one twig on a massive tree that was planted in 1919 by our founding fathers, and when I leave A.T.G., the memo- ries will long be remembered by all who have become part of the tree.
SIGMA SIGMA ALPHA
We did it. We had a dream, we reached for it, and now we are halfway there. We are not the first. S.S.A. has lived in the past, and lack of participation along with lack of female enrollment in Stockbridge caused S.S.A. to die. But not in spirit. Our spirit brought S.S.A. back to life. We now exist again, against many odds. Our main goal now, is for a house to leave for future sisters and alumni to find shelter within. But with all seriousness aside, we plan to have fun along the way, giving our best to dear old Stockbridge.
We would like to thank Susan Jacobson and Sherry Henderson for ail their hard work and "running around" for S.S.A.. We would also like to thank the many people of Stockbridge, students, teachers, alumni, and friends alike for their help and support . . . for believing in us. God bless you all.

A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO OUR PROFESSORS .
During our two year stay here at the Stockbridge School, we have been privileged to have, as our teachers, dedicated and learned professors who not only taught us well, but who were concerned with us as individuals. They spent extra time with us when necessary, making sure we understood the academic work, and talked with us, or listened as we talked to them about our personal problems. We felt that we not only had teachers — we had friends! We would like to thank all of our professors for everything they have done for us. And we would like to mention those who were of great assistance to our class, and who, for various reasons, will not be here to help and guide future students of the Stockbridge School . . .
As freshmen, we were the last students to appreciate Gordon King ("Mr. Tree") of the Landscape Architecture Department, Theodore Leed. a dynamic teacher in the Agricultural and Resource Econom- ics Department, Paul Procopio, a warm and concerned teacher of the Landscape Architecture Depart- ment, and Franklin Southwick. an authority in his field, of the Department of Plant and Soil Sciences.
As seniors, we must especially pay tribute to Professor Marron DuBois, a fine Classics scholar, who had the thankless task of trying to pursuade us that good writing is an integral part of our lives. As time goes on, we will appreciate more and more what she has done for us. We wish her well in her retirement. To Professor Douglas Airhart, we say thanks, not only for teaching but for giving so much of his time to us as advisor to the Stockbridge Student Senate. We wish him much success in his future. And the Department of Plant and Soil Sciences will not be the same without Professor John Zak who, for 44 years, and who himself was a warm and friendly mentor not only to his own students, but to others with whom he came in contact. We commend him for a job well done!
We will miss all of our teachers and long remember them!
From The Class President
Ten years ago most of us were in elementary school. Back then, if someone said anything about "Nineteen eighty four" our ten year old minds visualized some futuristic era with flying saucers and little green men (although the trees would always be the same). A few years later, in high school, we became familiar with George Orwell's rather glum novel about the future society. Then we found ourselves at orientation being called the Stockbridge Class of 1984, and even at that time we had no idea how quickly 1984 would creep upon us.
The next thing you know, here we are, driving cars that look much the same as they did one decade ago . . . none of our classmates have green pigmented skin . . . and the only big brother I have is a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force.
Orientation gave us the foreshadowing of the college life of which we would soon be a part, but it was not until September of '82 that we realized the great impact that "The Stockbridge Experience" would have on us. We have learned about our agricultural fields at Stockbridge, and we have learned a great deal about life. We will take from Amherst, Massachusetts, many fond memories. Memories of our first vehicle, or borrowing a friend's, we'll remember rooms 411 and 607, and we'll think about losing the knowledge, must now be put to use as we look down the road to 1994. But this time we realize that a new decade is not that far away. And as it approaches, so will many changes. Changes that will lead us in many different directions. Changes that will put a great deal of stress on agriculture. But regardless of it all, one thing will never change ... we have all had "The Stockbridge Experience."

From The Editor . . .
Wisdom, friends, happy days, and fond memories are just a few of the things that Stockbridge School of Agriculture has brought to all of us. I am thankful to have been a part of this, and hope that the yearbook staff has succeeded in capturing some of your fond memories.
A big thank you to the people who have helped put this book together ... to the staff members who have dedicated their efforts, to the faculty who have given their time, and to dear friends who have offered their support. And an extra thanks to Jeff Bond for his clever artwork throughout.
I hope you all keep a special spot on your shelf for "Stosag '84", as will you keep a special place in your heart for the Stockbridge School of Agriculture.
