Class of 2005:
Cathy and I are honored and
delighted to have joined the WPI
community in time for your senior year.
We trust that the year has been as
exciting and rewarding for you as it has
been for us.
WPI has many fine qualities, but
none better than its students. In your
final academic year, I have had the good
fortune to meet many of you around
campus, at your events and meetings, and
over dinner at One Drury Lane. I have
been deeply impressed by your honesty
and openness, your commitment to
building a strong sense of community,
the breadth and depth of your academic
chievements, and the pride you have
the University. WPI is an example of
“learning community” can be,
large part to your own
s.
e world. Foremost among
about the potential, both
am confident that WPI has
ng leadership, and depth of
n
that your appreciation for the gifts
ter—will result in an ever-deepening
varding, continuing association for you with your
cesses and to enjoying your continuing participation
each of you.
Yours sincerely,
DEDICATION 3
Jocelyn Lally, Class of 2005
After walking over the seal
receiving our diplomas, we leave a different
Tech than four years ago as changed I
individuals, but our spirit is the same. We are
more educated and have become part of the
legacy which was laid out by so many that have
come before us, overcoming awesome
obstacles to reach where we are today. We were
challenged to integrate theory and practice, and
slowly, through the completion of each degree
requirement, we have succeeded. The
accomplishment is not small and should be
taken into the world with the greatest of
satisfaction and dignity.
Seventy-seven years ago the WPI
Yearbook changed its name from The
Aftermath to The Peddler because it had more
meaning to Tech men, paying homage to
Boynton’s original occupation as a tin peddler.
Each year, The Peddler attempts to chronicle
our journey, providing a snapshot of the
University to be remembered for all time, and
to provide each graduate with a little piece of
WPI to remember when their children ask
about their college days. It is hard work and
we miss a lot, but hopefully the memories
you’ve made are ones you’ll never forget. The
following pages are the chronicle of your
journey; the Peddler staff hopes you enjoy
remembering as much as we did.
To understand the legacy that you are
now a part of is to realize that your success has
le possible by countless men and
>efore you. It is their hard work and
thankless efforts that have brought us here
today. And it is our duty to ensure the same
for the future.
“Today the Institute stands solidly atop its
rounded hill, still overlooking the City and
reaching toward the sky. It stands there for
more than any other reason because—by some
strange and wonderful supply—there have
always been enough people who cared.”
Mildred Me Clary Ty meson
Two Towers, 1965

BREAKING NEWS - Mass, soldier
killed in Iraq
By The Patriot Ledger
staff
A soldier from Westminster, Mass., has died in Iraq, the
Department of Defense announced today.
1st Lt. Ryan P. Jones, 23, died Tuesday in Baghdad of
wounds suffered when his vehicle struck a roadside bomb.
Jones was a public information officer assigned to Fort
Huachuca in Arizona.
Spc. Astor A. Sunsin-Pineda, 20, of Long Beach, Calif., was
also killed in the explosion.
Jones and Sunsin-Pineda were assigned to the 4th Brigade
Special Troops Battalion, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 1st
Infantry Division, Fort Riley, Kan.
Westminster Fire Chief Brenton MacAloney said Jones
grew up in town and graduated at or near the top of his
class at Montachusset Regional Vocational Technical
School in Fitchburg. He received a degree from Worcester
Polytechnic Institute.
Jones was the only child of Elaine and Kevin Jones of
Westminster, a town of 6,000 about 6 miles west of
Fitchburg.

"He was a personable, nice kid," MacAloney said.
‘‘He had a lot going for him. One of my firefighters grew up
with him, and he said Ryan was one of the smartest kids he
ever met."
Jones is the 53rd soldier from Massachusetts killed in Iraq.
The U.S. death toll in the war is now 3,357.

Senior Class Gift
T he Senior Class Gift Program offers a unique
opportunity for WPI’s newest alumni to begin
giving back to the University. The Class of 2005
proudly raised funds for an updated aerial photo of campus.
Since the last photo in the early 1990s, the Campus Center
has been built and there will soon be a new building for
Admissions and the Financial Aid Office. A new photo
will provide visitors and members of the WPI community
the opportunity to view campus from above and see the
ever changing landscape of WPI.
In addition to the aerial photo, a variety of other designation
options were available. Each of these could be used to meet
the University’s pressing needs and support future WPI
students.
The goals of the Senior Class were to raise at least $5,000
with 50% participation. At closing, the class had raised
$7,175.41 with 31.87% participation. This dollar amount
breaks records set by all previous classes of record.
Gifts from the Class of2005 were matched by WPI Trustee
Windle Priem (‘59). On May 16th, 2005, all Senior Gift
donors were invited to the check presentation and
celebration at President Berkey’s house.

Men’s and Women’s Crew
T he WPI crew season always seems to produce highs
with few lows, and this year was no different. The
year began with the tragic loss of longtime crew
advocate Bernie Brown, who passed away in July 2004 due
to illness. Brown was WPI’s Vice President of Student
Affairs and a fixture at nearly all WPI crew events. To honor
his memory, the cup given to the winning women s varsity
8 at the New England’s has been renamed the Bernard H.
Brown Cup. This year, that Cup went to Trinity College.
As for WPI, the men had a most interesting year under head
coach Larry Noble. In the fall, the varsity 8 finished 27 th of
45 at the prestigious Head of the Charles Regatta in
Cambridge. After a successful early March trip to Florida
(for both the men and women), both teams returned to icy
conditions on Lake Quinsigamond. What is normally an
advantage for WPI (practicing on its home course where it
races during the season) became a disadvantage as other
squads in New England were able to practice on smaller
venues where the ice had already broken. By mid-April,
Noble decided boldly to make some changes, creating a “four
with coxswain” in which he was going to place all his marbles.
The men’s varsity 4 with coxswain made its debut at the
New England’s on May 1, and lo and behold, with no official
competition under its belt, it won - thus becoming New
England champions. It was certainly one of the top WPI
sports moments of the entire academic year. The boat wa
comprised of seniors Ian Buzanoski and Bryan Pursell, anc
juniors Jon Rogers and Dan Vitale, as well as junio
coxswain Leigh Duren. Also at the New England’s, the 2"
novice placed 3 rd , and the lightweight 8’s finished 5 th . At th<
ECAC’s one week later, the varsity four was seeded #1, bu
never raced due to inclement weather. Later, the lightweigh
8’s placed 3 rd . On the women’s side, the year also had its up
and downs - mostly ups. The women had created loft
expectations with their #2 Division III national ranking fron
the year before. This year, head coach Jason Steele’s squa<
was ranked in the top 15 all season, and finished in the to]
10. In the fall, WPI placed 16 th of 50 at the Head of the Charb
In the spring, the varsity 8 placed 3 rd of 6 at the NEWMAC
(hosted by WPI). At the New England’s, the varsity :
finished 9 th overall, or 3 rd in the petite finals. At the ECAC5
with a national berth still conceivably on the line, the varsit
8 placed in the top 12, reaching the semis; however, th
national bid did not come. Seniors Erin Bryan and Emil
Pikor were named All-NEWMAC (varsity), while freshma:
Chelsea Bierkan was named All-NEWMAC (novice'
Named to the NEWMAC All-Academic team were Pike
and sophomores Bethany Corliss, Corinne Linderman, an

Football
T here were many thrills and spills during the football
season. As a team, WPI finished 5-5 overall, and 2-
5 in its first season in the newly-named Liberty
League. For the first time, WPI was in a conference which
included Coast Guard, Hobart, Kings Point, Rensselaer,
Rochester, St. Lawrence, and Union. The year began with
the team on fire, defeating Endicott at home (47-2),
Worcester State on the road (40-7), and Husson at home
(35-0). WPI had outscored its first three opponents, 122-9.
Following that, WPI opened its conference portion of the
season, losing at Kings Point (24-14), at eventual league-
champion Hobart (55-38), and at home to Union (31-21).
After a two-week layoff, WPI came back to easily defeat
Rochester at home (34-10). What followed was an amazing
game at Rensselaer. Trailing 35-6 midway through the third
quarter, WPI came nearly all the way back before succumbing
35-33. WPI had the ball on its own 41 when the game ended.
Up next, in a real see-saw affair, WPI defeated Coast Guard
at home (35-28). And in a disappointing finale, WPI lost to
St. Lawrence at home (31-14). A catalyst on and off the field
was senior DB Miguel Concepcion who was well-honored
following the season. He was named an NCAA Post-
Graduate Scholarship Finalist. Not surprisingly, he was
named the Melvin G. Massucco Award winner (top male
senior) at WPI’s annual awards banquet at year’s end. He
was named “ESPN The Magazine” Academic All-American
in District I, as was junior DB Bryan Douglass. Miguel was
also named First Team All-EC AC, First Team All-New
England, First Team All-Liberty League, both as a defensive
back and as a return specialist. He was also named Liberty
League Special Teams Player of the Year and Worcester Area
Football Coaches Association Co-Defensive Player of the
Year. Additionally, sophomore center Nate Delap and senior
OLB Ryan Rackliffe were named Second Team All-Libert
League. Named All-Liberty League honorable mention wt
senior wide receiver Preston Roberts and senior defensiv
end Chase Cote. Named Worcester Area Football CoacL
Association First Team were Concepcion, both as a DB an
as a kick-off returner, senior tight end Matt Guigli, senic
offensive guard Mark Russo, Delap, Roberts, Rackliffe, an
Cote. Named Second Team were junior Brian Farraghe
both as a fullback and as a punt returner, sophomor
running back Billy Orfalea, senior DT Tim Gagnon, an
Douglass. Named Liberty League All-Academic wer
Concepcion, Douglass, and Russo, along with seniors Gab
Pereira, Dave Seermon, Kyle Shepherd, Ryan Walker, an
Gilead Ziemba, juniors Jason Gamache, Jeremy Griffin,Jo
Hernandez, Chris Lynch, Matt Regan, and Virg:
Vaillancourt, and sophomorejosh Rodden. Named Libert
League Players of the Week were Orfalea (offensive) on Sep ;
6, Rackliffe (defensive) on Sept. 20, and freshman Dusti
Bradway (rookie) on Sept. 20. Orfalea led WPI in rushin
with 551 yards and 11 TDs, followed by Farragher with 4(K
and Roberts with 333. The top receiver was Roberts wit
40 catches for 771 yards. He had 4 TDs receiving. Sophomor
Matt Burger caught 23 balls for 360 yards and 1 TD. I
passing, senior QB Ryan Jennette completed 116 passes i:
270 attempts for 1710 yards with 9 TDs and 13 interception!
Defensively, Rackliffe was the leading tackier with 8£
followed by Douglass with 69, Lynch with 65, Ziemba wit!

Men’s Soccer
T he WPI men’s soccer team (3-12-1 overall; 0-5-1
NEWMAC; 0-1 NEWMAC Tourney) had “one
of those years” where not much seemed to go
right. Although the team finished 7 th in the 7-team
NEWMAC conference, the catch-phrase at the end of the
season among league foes was You don t want to play
WPI now.” WPI opened the season with a 2-1 victory at
Worcester State. Later, WPI defeated a good Gordon team,
2-0, and added a win over Anna Maria, 5-0. But ofWPI’s
12 defeats, a rather large total of 9 were by one goal. Among
those 1-goal losses were losses to Wheaton (1-0),
Springfield (2-1), league-champion MIT (2-1), and
Westfield State (1-0). On a number of occasions, WPI out-
shot its opponent, even in defeat. At season’s end in the
NEWMAC Tourney, WPI traveled to play Wheaton. It
took an overtime session to do it, but Wheaton pulled
through, winning 2-1. It was said to be WPI s finest game
of the year. This was only the second losing season in 22
years for Malcolm MacPherson as a collegiate head coach
(13 at WPI). It was a little tough to comprehend that WPI
men’s soccer teams had finished a combined 38-16-1,
enjoying much success, over the previous three years. Junior
midfielder Matt Young and senior forward and co-captain
Jimmy Norton led WPI in goals with 4 each. Young led
the squad in scoring with 11 points, while Norton was next
with 9. Low-scoring games were the norm, as WPI tallied
just 17 goals on the year, while giving up only 26. Junior
Matt Cichon was the team’s main goalkeeper. WPI will
miss several seniors next season, including co-captains
Jimmy Norton and back Andrew Purtell. Norton was
Second Team All-NEWMAC. WPI will be led next season
by Matt Young, a First Team All-NEWMAC performer.
Named NEWMAC All-Academic this past fall were
sophomore Nick Barraford, senior Aaron Grinstein,
sophomore Sean O’Keefe, senior Justin Rockwell, and
junior Kevin Toomey.

Women’s Soccer
T he WPI women’s soccer team (10-8-2 overall; 5-3
NEWMAC; 0-1 NEWMAC Tourney; 0-1
EC AC New England Div. Ill Tourney) had a good
year — its second straight winning season. The team finished
10-8-2 overall, but more importantly, finished second
behind only powerful Wheaton in the NEWMAC
conference, and went on to compete in the EC AC New
England Division III post-season tourney. Stephanie
Carlson’s troops began the year 6-2-1, including wins over
Salve Regina (3-0), RPI (1-0), Worcester State (2-1),
Fitchburg State (3-0), Anna Maria (5-0), and an especially
good win over Wellesley (1-0). WPI later added wins over
Coast Guard (2-0), Mount Holyoke (2-0), Babson (2-0),
and Clark (1-0). At season’s end, #2-seeded WPI was upset
in the first round of the NEWMAC Tourney, falling to
#7-seeded Clark at home (1 -0). But a year’s worth of good
results allowed WPI a spot in the ECAC Tourney as the
#7-seed. The team went to play at #2-seeded Brandeis and
led 1-0 at the half. Later in the game, WPI trailed 2-1, but
came back to tie it late. Then with only 3 minutes to go in
the 2 nd overtime, Brandeis capitalized on a 2-on-l break to
escape with the victory. WPI was led by a trio of captains,
including senior back Megan Holmes, senior back Julie
Bradley, and junior midfielder Mary Desrosiers. Holm<
who holds the all-time WPI career assists record, was nam
Second Team All-NEWMAC and Second Team All-Nt
England (the latter for the second year in a row). While s'
certainly received several plaudits — including winning t
Varsity Club Award as WPI’s top female senior athlete at yea
end — the top honoree on this squad was junior goalkeep
Manda Otterman. Manda was the only goalkeeper to recei
First Team All-NEWMAC honors. She also was nam<

Volleyball
T he WPI volleyball team (4-18 overall; 0-9
NEWMAC) had a tough year in that it won just
four matches in 22 tries. The team often had an
uncanny ability to play to the level of its competition, with a
tendency to play better against tougher competition. But that
still translated into defeats. Wins came over Simmons (3-0)
and Bay Path (3-1) in September, and Anna Maria (3-1), and
MCLA (3-1) in October. The year ended with a 3-0 defeat at
Smith. The team did not reach the NEWMAC Tourney. On
the bright side, senior Lee Heiberg finished with a good .298
hitting percentage, while junior Heather Burkart had an
excellent season total of306 digs. Sophomore Yaralia Castillo
had 58 service aces, an area WPI almost always does well in.
Heiberg followed with 45, and promising freshman K
Woodman had 35. Junior Amanda Jamin did a fine jol
setter with her 417 set assists. Sophomore Jennifer Par
and junior Jeanne Shaffer were named NEWMAC l
Academic. In a milestone, Nancy Vaskas completed
25 th year as WPI’s head coach.

Wrestling
fter all is said and done, the 2004-05 wrestling season
(6-11-1 overall; 5-8 NECCWA) will best be
remembered as an end to an era - a glorious era in
7PI wrestling history. The season marked the end of a 33-
ear run in which the very popular and well-respected Phil
irebinar served as WPI’s head coach. He finished with 414
ictories, one of the top figures in that noted category in
JCAA Division III history. “Greb” stepped down not long
fter the season ended, although he will remain with the
;hletic department as an administrator and its lone tenured
rofessor. The WPI wrestling program will still be in good
ands. Grebinar will be replaced by one of WPI’s all-time
est wrestlers in Sean Nelligan ‘02. Nelligan still holds the
/PI record for most dual victories in a season — 20 in 1999-
000. The 2004-05 season itself was a bit disappointing in
lat WPI finished 6-11-1 overall despite a 5-match winning
reak in the middle of the season and a 21-9 win at arch-
val Coast Guard toward season’s end. In the NECCWA
ourney, WPI finished 8 th of 15, right where it was seeded.
/PI was led all year by four wrestlers who were accorded
11-New England status by finishing in the top six of their
‘spective weight classes at the NECCWA Tourney held at
)hnson & Wales in Providence, RI. At 165 pounds, senior
>e Moskowitz capped a tremendous career by placing third,
loskowitz had wrestled at 157 pounds his first three seasons.
Senior Pete Krzyzewski also placed third at 184 pounds.
Another 3 rd place finish was provided by junior Tom
Lashmit at heavyweight. And finally, sophomore Roman
Walsh captured 6 th place at 141. Krzyzewski, Moskowitz,
and senior Rob Saltzman were the tri-captains. Saltzman
is expected to return following a missed season due to
injury.

Men’s Basketball
T here were many reasons to think that this past season
was the greatest in WPI basketball history (24-4
overall; 10-2 NEWMAC; 2-0 NEWMAC Tourney
as #1 seed; 1-1 NCAA Tourney). Certainly, there are a
couple of teams that might debate it - the 1919-20 team that
finished 14-2, the 1942-43 team that was declared New
England Champions, and the 1984-85 team that reached
the Final 8 of the NCAA Tournament. But THIS team
finished 24-4, recording the most victories by four in the
history of the school. This team went to the NCAA
Tourney and reached the Round of 16. This team started
the season with 9 straight wins, the fastest start in WPI
history. And after a loss, this team recorded 11 more wins,
the second longest winning streak in WPI history. Imagine
in one year having the second-longest (11) and fourth-
longest (9) winning streaks in WPI annals. It was news when
WPI lost — the only losses in the regular season came against
DeSales in the finals of the Old Westbury Classic in late
December, and at Coast Guard and at Springfield in mid-
February. WPI entered the NEWMAC Tourney as the host
team and the #l-seed with a 21-3 overall mark. What
followed were tense and taut victories over Clark (73-64)
and Wheaton (64-60), propelling WPI into the NCAA
Tournament for the first time in 20 years. A four-point play
by junior guard Ryan Flynn with exactly one minute to go
gave WPI the final impetus for the big win over Wheaton.
WPI then received a first-round bye, meaning it
automatically found itself in the NCAA Tourney’s Round
of 32. WPI hosted and defeated Western Connecticut State
in another great game, 79-77. That game was not determined
until the buzzer sounded. Sophomore guard and
NEWMAC Player of the Year Ryan Cain hit two free throws
with 8.9 seconds to go to break a 77-all tie. WPI continued
to Mahwah, NJ, where Ramapo College served as host of
one of four sectionals. In the sectional semis, WPI found
itself pitted against a taller and very talented team from York
(PA), falling to defeat 99-80. York went on to the Final Four,
losing to eventual NCAA Division III national champion
Wisconsin-Stevens Point in the semis. WPI now has a 44-
12 record over the past two years, during which Head Coach
Chris Bartley has been named NEWMAC Coach of the
Year twice. Cain led WPI this past season with a 19.5 ppg
average. He was followed by junior guard Mike Prestileo
(13.1), a Second Team All-NEWMAC performer, then
sophomore center Scott Misiaszek (9.4), junior guard Brian
Steele (8.4), freshman forward Antoine Coleman (7.1) (WPI’s
top male freshman), Flynn (6.7), freshman forward James
Marois (5.4), andjunior guard Brett Dickson (3.5). Misiaszek
averaged 6.8 rebounds to lead the team in that category,
followed by Coleman’s 5.8. Misiaszek also averaged cl
blocks, third-best in the nation and best in the NEWMA 1 .
He had one game where he blocked 11 shots at Wheaton i
WPI record and tied for the nation’s best in a single gan .
Cain had a contest at Worcester State (an 89-85 win), duric
which WPI won the Worcester County Classic for tj:
second straight year, where he had a nation’s single-gaij:
best 20-of-20 free throws. Cain had another game (t
Springfield) where he went 14-for-14 from the line. Cai
was named First Team All-NEWMAC, First Team All-No
England, Second Team All-Regional, and Second Team A -
EC AC. He was also a NEWMAC Player of the Week thf'
times (Jan. 2, Jan. 16, Feb. 27). Prestileo was a NEWMA!
Player of the Week (Nov. 28), as was Steele (Jan. 9). Dickso
was named NEWMAC All-Academic. WPI’s NEWMA'
regular season title was its second; its NEWMAC Tourm
title its first. WPI will lose only one player — senior Job
Costello — next season. Otherwise, and here is the real sea/
part, everyone returns.

finished with an overall record of 10-15, and a
NEWMAC record of 5-8. Cherise Galasso’s team had its
ups and downs, hovering around the .500 mark for the
bulk of the season. WPI recorded wins over Gordon (55-

in a NEWMAC first round tourney game. As far as awards
are concerned, senior center Lee Heiberg was named
Second Team All-NEWMAC. She was also named the

Swimming
T here were several highlights to the WPI Swimming
& Diving season (Men: 8-3; Women: 4-7) - topped
by the performance of sophomore Joel Rousseau,
who reached the NCAA Division III Championships for
the second straight year, and who also became an All-
American for the first time. In fact, Joel became WPI’s only
All-American this season when he finished 3 rd in the 100-
butterfly. He was seeded #1 after the morning trials when
he finished with what was destined to be the fastest time in
the 100 fly during the meet (49.31, a WPI record). His 3 rd -
place finish is thought to be the highest finish in WPI school
history for any WPI swimmer. He thus became only the
second WPI male All-American in its swimming history.
The only other was George Bliss Emerson (’32) in 1931.
Joel also competed in two other events - the 50 freestyle
and 100 freestyle — at the NCAA’s at Hope College in
Holland, Michigan. Earlier, Joel was named All-
NEWMAC Second Team in the 100 butterfly at the
NEWMAC Championships at MIT in late February. As a
team, WPI finished 8-3, thus producing its 6 th consecutive
non-losing season - the only varsity sport at WPI that can
make that claim. Included was a pair of wins over Holy
Cross and Clark in the City Championships. The men’s
swimmers are the only team that can boast a victory over a
Division I team (HC) this past year. The men also finished
6 th of 7 in the NEWMAC’s. During the season, the WPI
men set an astounding 20 team and individual records.

Men’s & Women’s Track and Field
T he track & field teams provided plenty of good
news throughout the indoor and outdoor seasons.
While there were plenty of great performances on
the field of play, perhaps the best news came off the field as
two WPI competitors were named “ESPN The Magazine”
Academic All-Americans. Senior distance runner Hunter
Bennett-Daggett was named a Second Team Academic All-
American overall. Bennett-Daggett (First Team) and junior
sprinter/jumper Lindsay Bulso (Second Team) were named
Academic All-Americans in District I. On the field, WPI
was led on the men’s side by several who achieved All-
ECAC or All-New England status. Named All-New
England indoors were senior Miguel Concepcion (55-
meters, 2 nd place) and sophomore Maceo Braxton (55-
meters, 5 th place). Named All-New England outdoors were
freshman Chris McCann (800 meters, 6 th place), Braxton
(100 meters, 7 th place), and senior Pete Lohrmann
(decathlon, 8 th place). Reaching All-ECAC status outdoors
was the 4x100 relay team of Concepcion, junior Pack
Lapointe, senior Gabe Pereira, and Braxton for an 8 th -place
finish. The same foursome was named All-NEWMAC
for a 2 nd -place finish in the 4x100. The NEWMAC’s were
hosted by WPI for the first time since 2001. Named
NEWMAC All-Academic were Bennett-Daggett,
Concepcion, Lohrmann, sophomore Paul Freitas, junior
Alex White, and sophomore Nick Wirth. As a team, WPI
finished 4 th in the NEWMAC’s, tied for 19 th in the New

Cross Country
T he men’s and women’s cross country teams had
some good performances during the fall season.
Perhaps the moment of greatest recognition for the
cross country teams came when senior co-captain Hunter
Bennett-Daggett of Yamhill, Oregon, rode his perfect 4.0
GPA to become an “ESPN The Magazine” Academic All-
American (Second Team) in June. Earlier, he had been
named a District I Academic All-American (First Team).
Performance highlights on the field of play on the men’s
side include the City Championships, which took place in
Boylston and were hosted by Clark. WPI’s men captured
their 11 th straight City title, led on that particular day by
Bennett-Daggett, who placed 2 nd as an individual. He was
followed by senior co-captain Scott Proulx (3 rd ), freshman
Adam Schwartz (4 th ), and sophomore Nick Wirth (5 th ). In
9 th , 10 th , and 11 th places were senior Doug Leenhouts, senior
Justin Braga, and sophomore Paul Freitas respectively. On
the women’s side, in this same race, WPI was 3 rd of 4 as a
team. WPI’s top finisher was sophomore Megan Murphy
in 6 th place. In 13 th was senior captain Liz Rosinha, followed
byjunior Jamie Mohr (18 th ), Kathryn Carpenter (20 th ), and
sophomore Stephanie Pals (21 st ). In the Tri-States a week
later, the WPI men placed 2 nd of 15, while the women placed

Field Hockey
T he won-loss totals may not necessarily reflect it,
but the field hockey team (3-14 overall; 0-8
NEWMAC) made remarkable strides this past fall
season. Not always competitive in recent seasons, this year’s
team certainly was competitive. The three wins were
produced in a remarkable 8-day span in mid-September as
WPI defeated, in order, Bridgewater State (1-0), Anna Maria
(2-0), and Nichols (1-0 in overtime). WPI played four other
overtime games this year, but fell short in each — losing to
Lasell (2-1), Worcester State (2-1), Sweet Briar (2-1), and
Mount Holyoke (1-0). In a number of those contests, WPI
had the advantage in terms of shots on goal and in field
position. WPI had only two seniors on this team — forward
co-captain Erin Foley and goalkeeper Missy Kahn. Kahn
was the hot goalkeeper during WPI’s three-game win
streak - all shutouts. At season’s end, junior back Sarah
Stout earned First Team All-NEWMAC honors. In
addition, the following were named NEWMAC All-
Academic: juniorjessica Farrell, sophomore Lisa Novoson,
junior Lynn Reni, and junior Jessica Roy. Next season
offers even more hope as WPI field hockey continues to
rebound under 3 rd -year head coach Johanna DiCarlo.
Among the returnees will be junior co-captain Whitney
Moore.

Baseball
T he baseball team (8-24 overall; 4-8 NEWMAC;
0-1 NEWMAC Tourney) had a somewhat
disappointing season following a year in which it
had gone to the EC AC post-season tourney. This year’s
team got off to an unexpectedly bad start, finishing 1-10
on its southern swing to Fort Myers, Florida, with its only
win coming against New Jersey City (9-7). Following a
10-game losing streak, including its first two games up
north, Chris Robertson’s troops came up with a choice 5-
2 win over Worcester State, a team that was destined to
reach the NCAA Tournament. Senior captain and RHP
Shawn Walker pitched the complete-game victory. In mid-
April, WPI won three straight, including a dramatic 10-9
triumph at Springfield, a 7-4 win at Brandeis, and a 1-0
win over Clark at home. In the win over Springfield, WPI
trailed 8-0 entering the 8 th inning but scored 6 in the 8 th
inning and 4 more in the 9 th . Sophomore IB Dan Mahoney
knocked in the go-ahead runs with a two-out double in
the 9 th . In the 1-0 whitewash of Clark, junior RHP Paul
Ragaglia hurled a 5-hit complete-game masterpiece. The
season ended with a solid 7-4 win over Elms on May 3,
with Ragaglia getting credit for the win and Walker the
save. In the NEWMAC playoff game at Springfield, WPI
was tied at 2 in the 6 th before losing 6-2. Junior 3B Nick
Angelini made First Team All-NEWMAC for the second
straight year. He led the conference in home runs with 9,
doubles with 16, home runs per game (0.28), doubles per
game (0.50), and RBI’s per game (1.19). He finished with
38 RBI’s overall. Junior OF Mike Mancuso topped the
team with a .310 batting average for the season. He was
followed by sophomore SS Matt Fiore (.306), Angelini
(.299), freshman IB Ryan Rainone (.295), freshman SS-
2B Brandon Steacy (.282), junior DH Steve Taylor (.279),
senior OF TJ McLaughlin (.266), and OF Bill Flaherty
(.263). In the pitching department, Ragaglia finished with
a hard-luck 2-5 record to go along with a very good 3.23
EILA. Freshman RHP Mike Ball was 0-0, 3.75; Walker 2-
6, 5.92; freshman LHP Brendan Devereaux 0-1, 7.50; and
freshman RHP Brian Duncan 1-2, 7.62. Other pitchers
with at least one win included freshman RHP Ryan
Smalanskas 1-4, junior RHP Craig Shevlin 1-3, and senior
LHP Jeff Wolf-Jaworski 1-2. In addition, sophomore Matt
Burger was 7 th in the NEWMAC in doubles per game
(0.32), playing the outfield part-time. Flaherty, McLaughlin,
Taylor, and Walker served as captains for the squad.

Softball
I f there was one varsity team that exceeded expectations
more than any other this season, it very well may have
been the softball team (20-15-1 overall; 5-11
NEWMAC; 0-1 NEWMAC Tourney). Coming off a 2004
season with an 11 -20 overall record, this year’s team finished
20-15-1. The 20 wins smashed the old school record of 17
set in 1994. Johanna DiCarlo’s troops got off to a good
start with a 7-2 mark on its southern swing to Myrtle Beach,
South Carolina. Included were a pair of 5-inning 8-0 wins
over Penn State-Altoona, and later a 4-1 victory over a
good Juniata team which ended the trip. To start the
northern portion of the season, the home folks got the
inkling “we might be on to something big here” when WPI
swept Amherst, 2-1 and 9-5, in a doubleheader. Not long
thereafter, WPI easily defeated Wheelock, 14-0 and 10-0,
behind a pair of no-hitters by sophomore PJTP Meghan
Kelly in game #1 and sophomore RHP Jennifer Parker
and freshman RHP Heather Hassett in game #2. Later in
April, WPI swept MIT in a twinbill, 5-0 and 5-2, defeated
always powerful Wheaton in the first game of a
doubleheader, 4-1, swept Newbury, 8-0 and 11-1, swept
Worcester State, 5-4 and 12-3, and then defeated Wellesley
in the first game of a doubleheader, 8-7 in 11 innings. In a
first-round NEWMAC playoff game, WPI gave eventual
conference tourney champion Babson a scare before
bowing, 4-3. Babson represented the NEWMAC in the
NCAA Tourney. Among individuals, Kelly had a banner
year. The Burlington, Mass, native was named All-ECAC
First Team as a utility player and All-NEWMAC First
Team. She was honored mid-season as the ECAC Co-
Pitcher of the Week and NEWMAC Pitcher of the Week.
In addition, she was named winner of WPI’s Carolyn
McCabe Award, emblematic of the school’s top female
sophomore (sportsmanship). Kelly had quite a year with
her team-leading .395 batting average and her school-
record 13 victories and school-record 123 strikeouts on
the mound. In batting average, Kelly was followed by
freshman 3B Nicole DeCampo at .355. DeCampo also had
a league-leading 39 RBI’s. Sophomore IB Kristen Gervais
hit .336, followed by sophomore LF Kelly Head at .286,
and senior CF Amanda Solomon at .280. Kelly’s ERA was
1.78, 9 th best in the league. Her .395 batting average was 5 th
best in the NEWMAC. DeCampo and freshman SS Briana
Dougherty tied for 10 th in home runs with 2. DeCampo
and Gervais tied for 5 th with 10 doubles each. Solomon’s
34 runs scored tied for 2 nd . Kelly’s 123 strikeouts were 4 th .
Also named NEWMAC All-Academic were Kelly and
Gervais. WPI loses only one senior — Solomon, the captain
— so the team’s future is bright.

Founded in 1909, the WPI Newspeak Association (formerly Tech News Association) is the second-oldest recognized
student organization on campus, excluding fraternities. The group is comprised of students who volunteer their time each
week to tend to the operations of the student newspaper and various publications. The Newspeak Association publishes
about 25 issues of Tech News per year. The newspaper ranges from 8 to 16 pages. The paper is prepared using high-
powered personal computers and scanners, Nikon and Sony camera equipment, and the association’s own darkroom
facility. Hard-copy paste-ups are sent to Saltus Press in Worcester for printing. The Newspeak Association maintains
hard-copy archives of all issues dating back to 1973, as well as electronic versions dating back to 1994 which can be found
online at technews.wpi.edu . WPI’s Gordon Library maintains an archive of Tech News and Newspeak to 1909 in both
hard-copy and microfilm formats.
WPI is fortunate enough to have a squad of dedicated EMT’s
and First Responders who are trained and equipped to respond
to almost any medical emergency 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week. Since 1990, WPI EMS has been fighting the course of
natural selection on campus. The squad is composed of
individuals who willingly donate their time and effort to serve
the WPI community whenever and wherever the need arises.
Dispatched through the WPI Police, these students traverse
the campus on foot and segway, answering the call of duty be
it lunchtime or 5 a.m. WPI EMS has treated hundreds of
patients for everything from chipped teeth to bone fractures,
concussions to patients not breathing, and cardiac conditions.
So when natural selection seems to be running its course,
remember, the guys and gals in blue will come running, too.

and thunders that will never be lived down. The one thing we will take and have forever is friendship
it is that alone which will be with us until the end and has helped us to get through our stay at WP
but has also made us never want to leave.
Friendship, our sweetest influence.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon
S ince our founding on March 10, 1894, the Massachusetts Delta chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilo
has continued its 111 years of excellence. Our members are a diverse group of men from a
parts of the country, working together to be a successful group on campus. We are gentlemer
living together for the purposes of academic success, career development, and social interaction.
At SAE, we take great pride in our academic achievements. In the past fifteen years, we hav
consistently been one of the leading fraternities academically, and our brothers have been activ
members in every scholastic honor society on campus. We also pride ourselves on our philanthropy
as we participate in numerous events and fundraisers. We have been nominated often for, and hav
twice won, the John O. Mosley award for fraternity zeal, the highest national honor an SAE chapte
can be presented with.
Famous alumni of our chapter include: Robert Goddard, John Higgins, Sanford Riley, and Fran
Harrington. More important, however, are the alumni who come back after they graduate. Tim
here as an undergrad is important, but the experience as a brother of Sigma Alpha Epsilon neve
ends.

F raternity life has, in recent years, evolved more than any other aspect of college life. It ha
witnessed a shift from all-out, hedonistic partying to the development of well-balanced campr
leaders who excel in academic and athletic achievements and help both their college an
community. We are proud to partake in that evolution, being a campus leader in grade point average:
community service hours, and athletics; yet, we do not pride ourselves on the pursuit of making or
college years the greatest time of our lives. Throughout this evolution, Sigma Phi Epsilon ta
maintained its tradition of providing its members with friendships that last forever and developin
leaders who will help shape the future.

Theta Chi
W hat is a fraternity? It’s a brotherhood of men who join together to share in a common
bond of friendship. We live together and relax together during our undergraduate
years. Later, as alumni, we’ll have strong friendships for life among those who have
been closest to us in college.
Although all fraternities share similar ideas, there is something different about each individual
house. At Theta Chi, we seek new brothers who want to share our way of life and who will
become active partners in building a stronger Theta Chi during their undergraduate years.
Going to college means more than just getting a good education. It means maturing and
learning how to handle yourself in all sorts of social situations. Theta Chi provides an opportunity
to grow together.

Outstanding Chapter award and a Gold Escutcheon award at the 2004 Zeta Psi National Conventior
in Toronto.

along the way that hindered the realization of this goal. Still, we believe this is an improvement
over recent books and hope that it will be cherished by members of the Class of 2005 throughout
their lives.
We are indebted to the many people who provided encouragement and support throughout the
year. Without them, the completion of this edition of the Peddler would not have been possible.
Among the people we would like to thank are:
Amy Luchans
Louise Campbell
Jim McLaughlin
Caren Korin and DaVor Photography
John Carrier and Herff-Jones
All the seniors who provided us with photos
Stephen Raczynski
Terri, Chad, and the WPI Print Shop
Marge Roncone and the Registrar’s Office
WPI Mail Services
Alumni Relations
Cathy Battelle and the Events Office
President Berkey, Janet Begin Pdchardson, and all the administrators who have
provided encouragement, insight, and advice throughout the year
