May the roar of the TIGER be satisfactory. Anyway, we “dood it’. Pauline and Rene. On these pages are some of the rooms the seniors will remember long- est. These are the places where the Tech students have a chance to relax from class room studies with entertain- ment, extra work, or by applying to practical use what they have learned in class. It is no wonder the library will not be forgotten. The students have come across many valuable and interesting facts by visiting this room during spare time. They have also found that with the willing help of the expert librarian, they are able to get all the reference books they want without even leaving school. When the graduates think of the lunchroom, chances are they won't Se mien : aif at remember the lunches they had there. aes Instead, they will recall the enjoyment they found in meeting their friends at lunch time when they were allowed to talk, and laugh, and do as they pleased. iN eRe e 4 gu : alias a NA i = bi | The girls’ special pride is in the din- ing room, where they put what they have learned in home-economics class to practical use by entertaining one another as well as teachers. Although the girls have a chance to act as cooks, waitresses, hostesses or guests, many of the graduating girls will probably remember best the first time they served at a faculty tea. Many memories of high school days will be connected with the assembly hall. As drama students or speakers, many students have had an opportu- nity to work with a microphone on a professional stage. As electricians, they have worked the complicated stage lights, and as stage hands, they have put up back-drops and scenery. The students who did this work will have special memories, but everyone will remember the entertaining, edu- cational assemblies.

Marcus Kiley. It is he who has so well expressed the three objectives which we have used as our theme. It is he who has made the development of these objectives possible for every boy and girl in Tech by providing a rich and varied curriculum. It is he who has made our school one of the outstanding technical schools of the country. So, to Mr. Kiley our thanks and the wish that he may for many years guide future students of Tech. Deals For Your Dreams Strength For Your Daring Competence For Your Share of Useful Werk abet. 3 0 eh wr. — FOREWORD — Hi, Tech! Here it is! Here's our yearbook. We have prepared a book in which we have tried to portray the true Tech spirit. We have shown the school at work and at play. This work, this fun, which is the very essence of Tech, have tried to develop in each of us, ideals for our dreams, strength for our daring, and competence for our full share of useful work. The successful development of these attributes will make us worthy citizens to lead in the world of tomorrow. The development of these ideals is significant in determining our future, for we, the youth, belong to the future. Ideals for our dreams! Progress is the result of imagination. The opportunity to imagine, to dream, and thus to create, has been freely offered to us in cultural and technical courses. Strength for our daring! The development of the mind must be accompanied by the building of a strong body, for the keen and strong shall lead. Competence in our full share of useful work! The many activities in which we participate offer us the right to do our share in assuming the obligations of running our own community — our school. In attaining the fulfillment of the objectives of our school, we hope to become the kind of citizens who will understand the powers that mold the world in which we live. Because of our belief in these ideals, we have developed them as the theme of our book. This is your book, Tech. We hope you like it.

We experience a mixed feeling of pride and love for our nation. We are given the courage and the faith to push on through the maze of tasks that lie ahead. We work and learn as much as possible so that we may be better fitted to serve our nation in the future. What an inspiring start for the work that must be done if the privileges we so dearly cherish are to survive and the United Nations, to win the peace. Entering School — Another day, more knowledge. It’s 8:55 and the wide halls of Tech are again filled with familiar sounds and faces — the steady hum of voices, laughter, snatches of stories, meek, bewildered freshmen wan-. dering aimlessly, proud seniors strutting by with tilted noses, eager 12B’s awaiting the day they can take over, friendly greetings, occasional whistles from the sidelines, deeply-smitten couples strolling dreamy- eyed until the bell cuts short their dreams, sudden rumble when a herd of Techites clamors down stairs, occasional mishaps at crowded corners — the beginning of a typical day at Tech. 19 Democracy et Wore If you happen to peek into any math class at Tech, you will see our potential Ein- steins nervously chewing their pencils over a knotty problem. Algebraic functions are being discussed at the board, while at their seats the mathematicians are either trying to prove to the weary teacher (who has just spent hectic days making out pro- grams) that the textbook is wrong or busily evolving a new method for solving the cube root of the fourth term of a geometric pro- gression. Our English classes of today use modern equipment to improve the speaking habits of students. A microphone is used to give the speaker poise and self-confidence and speech recording machines, to show prog- ress in ability between the first recording and the succeeding ones. This modern training should develop in each pupil a social attitude which should be of great value to him in his future vocation as well as in his associations with others. Dr. Theinert explains ‘two and two ra Arise. ao forlh 4 i % € A ronqite us a i 20 ot CU Free World Hard at work in the science labs, we find the chemists, biologists, and physicists of tomorrow busily tearing apart com- pounds, juggling atoms of one substance, and rearranging them so as to produce an entirely different material; mixing strange potions, which occasionally turn out to emit a rather peculiar odor, asphyxiating the class and driving half the school out of the building. There are, of course, occa- sional mishaps when a vigorously bubbling solution suddenly lets go ‘‘scaring the daylights’’ out of the student body, but that has to be expected from a volatile group of Techites. An ever-growing interest in history has become very evident in Tech as we discuss present-day problems which will be history to the student of tomorrow. This objective study gives us a better understanding of our American way of life and an appreciation of the privileges we experience in our great nation so that in the future we will become more intelligent students of a better world. Miss McCleary elucidates on ‘‘why a frog kicks” 21 LUNCHROOM AND RECREATION The cooks are bustling about making last minute preparations. The delicious aroma of hot food finds its way to the nose of every famished individual, making his stomach feel even emptier, and whetting his appetite in anticipation of the moment the lunch bell will ring. Then we Techites descend (if we can escape the teachers and student patrol) like a herd of wild buffalo — our hungry faces looking eagerly for the shortest lunch line. The once silent room is now bubbling over with excitement, and the wild babble of voices (Emily Post is forgotten for that joyous half hour) through mouthfuls of sandwiches and gulps of milk, can be heard. Here and there small groups gather to talk over the day's experi- ences and discuss the coming games and dances. Our lunchroom exemplifies the true spirit of democ- racy in this school and the happiness and content- ment of the students prove its value. 22 Freedom O Gssembly ASSEMBLY AND LIBRARY When the notice goes out that an assembly has been scheduled, Techites rejoice. Here in our audi- torium, every aspect of school life is demonstrated by the students. Music, home economics, art, sci- ence, drama — all come to the stage and lecture platform to give new and richer experience to both participants and audience. The cumulation of all the years of man’s thought has been gathered into our school library and is available for every student not only during school time, but for outside reading, too. An outstanding collection of Technical books and catalogues and an ever-growing reference and leisure-reading ma- terial makes Tech's library a very center of the thought and purpose of the school. 23 Technology, Bait dae SHOP — AERONAUTICS RADIO — SCIENCE “It is certainly not the province of technical high schools to develop special skill by practice along narrow lines. The aim is breadth of training combined with effectiveness. All the older studies of proved value are retained and their value increased by giving them vital relations with practical life. —Charles Warner. This statement was made and published almost fifty years ago by Mr. Warner when he was principal of Tech. Even he, probably, did not realize that in less than half a century technology would save the world and the culture of past ages for civilized man. The place of Technology in the world of today has been so ably stated by our principal, Mr. Kiley, that we are using a paragraph directly from his bulletin on ‘‘Purposes of the Courses of Study’. “A high school education based almost en- tirely upon contemplation of the past will not place students in commanding positions for the future. Boys and girls who want to live better than we do now will study the past to know its heritage of wisdom and attainment, but that is not all. They will want to explore the nature of the world and the possibilities of every promising idea with new and revealing instruments. They will want to make ideas of proven worth into useful things with workshops and materials, tools and machinery, intelligent labor, and abundant power. They will want to distribute new knowl- edge and products widely and know how to use them well. They will want more wealth and better services. Young men and young women who are to be ready for the great projects in transporta- tion, communication, industrial production and social improvement will want a vision of the world transformed by sound ideas used with technical skill and understanding. “The elements of technical instruction which cultivate this vision are: learning by doing, accu- rate reporting of observations, experience with precision instruments, drill in scientific method, applied mathematics, reading and writing, me- chanical drawing to get ideas made into things, use of hand-operated and power-driven ma- chines, the incorporation of beauty into products, and the adoption of improved methods and ma- terials for meeting ordinary needs. “Technical High School hopes that every boy and girl will have the ideals, the strength and the competence not only to live righteously, but to prosper by serving well in a nation of free enterprise.” Wer 26 FOODS When twenty freshmen girls pour into Room 324 to learn how to cook, Miss Ruth Gabler has more than a job on her hands! First, these eager students must have a firm foundation on which to base their work in ‘home ec.’’ Most important for making good cooks is providing good recipes. They are given practical, mouth-watering. recipes that are guaranteed to make anyone sit up and say ‘‘more’’. Of course, war times make things a lot different from the steak and butter days. So, the would-be chefs learn how to use rationed foods economically. Non-rationed foods come into their own in the field of culinary art when the girls are shown how to make them appe- tizing. Our freshmen girls will never have an untidy table after Foods I! All details of service and dining-room courtesy are fully explained, demonstrated and employed. With very little space in which to work, as compared with actual kitchens, it takes some imagination and skill to turn the unit into a home. By having a special place for each spoon and pan and by keeping everything immaculate, Miss Techite becomes an efficient, neat housewife. Further household habits are developed to make each freshman girl practically perfect in the kitchen. Dishwashing is not drudgery; it is an art which, once mastered, is invalua ble to busy people. We might call our freshman girls ‘twenty week wonders! ’ After this course, they'll be queens in any kitchen. CLOTHING ‘Miss Swenson, where are the common pins?” “Miss Swenson, does this dress hang evenly?’’ ‘Miss Swenson, would light green go with my eyes?” These questions and a hundred more greet Miss Sadie Swenson and all clothing teachers each day as girls enter clothing classes. No, these girls are not trying to bother the teacher. They want her honest opinion on their projects. They want to make and to be able to wear smart clothes. Everyone knows that it is not easy these days to get smart looking clothes from the materials that are being made in war time. Therefore, the selection and construction of problems is largely determined by the durability of the material and the amount that it costs. Each girl learns to make selections of patterns that will fit her personal needs and abilities. She considers style and fabric, becomingness of colors and textures, and, of course, economy. To help the girls, trips are made to downtown stores to study the new fabric qualities and fashion trends before purchases are made. Now, each girl knows that no matter how nice her garment may be, she cannot look really smart if she walks with a debutante slouch. She, therefore, applies the fundamentals of good posture to give her a better appearance. A girl gets little satisfaction out of her problem if she cannot exhibit it. Show- cases, and style shows, therefore, are provided that each girl may have some recogni- tion for her handiwork. 27 28 a % ASUS pew jempend tue Puke. Ispik ation HOME NURSING “Oh! I’m so———sick!”” ‘Now, now, just lie down and rest.” “But, I’m so———sick!”” “Here, let me see your tongue.” ‘What's wrong with me?” Lying prone in bed is a girl, her tongue hanging out and her eyes feverish. Above her is grouped approximately fifteen members of a home nursing course. These girls are about to give their comments on what illness they think the sufferer has. After diagnosing the case, they proceed to make the patient comfortable in bed. Carefully, they bathe the patient, and, just as carefully, they put clean linen on the bed. Miss Ann Paradise, R.N., who has charge of the class, begins a discussion on how to promote good health and a pleasing appearance. The girls listen attentively — seeking clues and directions for personal improvement. Then the discussion turns to common emergencies in the home. Incidents taken from real life are related by the girls. Each tries to outdo the others. Changing from the light to the serious, each girl repeats the rules for preventing accidents in the home. At another meeting of the class, we find our friends swathed in bandages. In each corner three girls are working earnestly. One holds the regulation home nursing book and reads the directions. The second is expertly tying knots and doing reversive bandaging on the third, who is just commenting on the progress. The girls then simulate the signs of illness such as a rashy skin, heavy and unusually bright eyes, and dry, cracking, coated tongue. Each of the girls leaves the class positive that she has symptoms of some serious disease. ORIENTATION The freshmen girls of 1943-1944 are known as Tech's ‘guinea pigs’, for they have been the first to take the new course in Orientation. Now that the course is coming to an end, it is a disappointment for many of our “would be’’ Lana Turners. The objective of Orientation is to get the girls acquainted with Tech as well as themselves. Every year the Charles Warner Medal is awarded to the most outstanding boy and girl in the graduation class. Orientation will help in preparing the girls for this reward, because “‘one’’ of them will be the lucky one. During the first half of the semester, such topics as Personality, Good Manners, Good Grooming, and many others are discussed freely by the girls. Since this course takes but half a year, each student is given a diagnostic test to determine any weakness in the fundamentals of Arithmetic, Reading, Spelling, and Language. The other half of the year is devoted to correcting these weaknesses. Orientation does not consider a girl's life just at Tech, but reaches out beyond commencement day. The girls have a chance to consider a life vocation with the help of their teachers and that of the distinguished speakers whom they have heard in assem- blies on the vocational attitudes of the students. The girls have enjoyed this class very much, because they know it has helped in preparing them for a happier time at Tech and after graduation. 29 Walking along Spring St., passersby often stop near Tech's doors and catch the strains of music coming up from the basement. Before school, lunchtime, free periods — any time to spare is put to good use by our aspiring musi- cians. It is surprising to note the enthusiasm with which students of Technical high school go for music. Most popular is the band, a “‘solid’’ group of kids. Not strictly classical, they often get together for a few “hot licks.” With much of the same spirit, the group of Tech Players meets 4T period with Mr. Doane. Semester jobs include projects for sound equip- ment, monologues, short scenes, and the tradi- tional three-act-play. Fun comes when scenes call for heavy make-up jobs. Did you ever turn a pretty seventeen-year-old girl into a wrinkled old peasant? They have! — with excellent re- sults. Not content with modern comedies, a few have tried Shakespeare's ‘Taming of the Shrew. Much extra time is put in by the class as a whole and by individuals in the interests of Drama. This is not a ‘“‘fill-in’’ period for five extra credits; this is the stage, and being one of the envied “backstage bunch.’ bits peak G There comes that period in our day at Tech which offers to many of us Techites the most enjoyment and pleasure in the work we do. It isn't really work at all; Art is such a fascinating study that, once the bell rings, the period flies by! The interest we have is adequately expressed in those well-planned posters of life-like sketches. Our “applied arts’ course is proof enough of the sizes of all the art classes. Mixing paints and sharpening pencils, the large classes get things done. In another field of culture, literature, so neces- sary to the well-educated person, we of Tech take to Tennyson, George Elliot, Shakespeare, Milton, and Hardy for inspiration. Between these plain covers of our English books, new worlds of wonder are disclosed, bringing close to our hearts all the wisdom and understanding and romance of the old masters. We have found that through the centuries, people haven't really changed much. The truth found in the stories of those days is figuratively devoured by eager students of literature. me ek soa l Language 32 There goes the 3:15 bell! Bulletins have been read by weary home-room teachers. Homework assignments have been gathered for the next day (we hope!), and out goes the greater part of Tech's population. For five or ten minutes the halls echo with voices of Techites ready to leave, waiting for chums, and then an unaccustomed quiet settles. Upstairs in many rooms teachers, like Mrs. Ruggles, work until late in the afternoon with those students anxious to obtain extra help in a difficult subject. Many an “A” may be traced back to that extra interest and special work done alter school. Makeup work doesn't seem quite so hard to get done when the re- assuring presence of a capable instructor is no further from your seat than the desk in front of the room. Com ect iae - -- try, try again”. End “Tell us lovely ladies” Downstairs in the office, the girls behind the counter are still being plied with countless questions, passes, excuses, and notes long after most of us have left. Patiently, they sort out the more important of those urgent mat- ters for Miss Bradley, Miss Melvin, or Miss Gareau to handle. Far from complaining at all, they love to be in contact with so many kids every day, even after hours. It's an honor to be chosen as an ‘‘office girl’’ and it’s a lot of fun! These good workers, finally, have left; teachers have locked their doors at school (with armfuls of homework papers and tests to correct at home!). By this time, afternoon has just about gone. Long shadows gather and mingle in the long halls. Tech sits and thinks in the dark, jealously guarding her ‘‘treasures’’ of science and tech- nology, and winking from time to time behind half-drawn shades as the faithful ‘‘cleaner- uppers’ go about their tasks. 33 9 Y a A N PV VIN MMO NtRa ees «were SFO COUT Lie — — gt.) renee ee PMUOMITINTE Rt cas...

It cer- tainly proves that the planes of 1964 will be run by mag- netism as was mine.’ “Thank you, Miss Sheehan. We also have the honor of having with us Coach Carlton ‘Knute’ Klaiber, to whom this beautiful building has been dedicated in our appreciation for his efforts in helping Tech beat Cathedral.” Carlton: ‘Thanks, Bob. | haven't much to say, folks. The dedication ceremonies have left me speechless, but my team and | thank you.”’ Bob: ‘Thank you, coach. We still have time for a few words from Rene Bachand, who is responsible for the magnetic airplane that Miss Sheehan has successfully tested and proved.” 54 Class Rene: ‘How do you do, ladies and gentlemen. | would like to say that my associate, Bremner Gray, and | appreciate the support you have given to our venture, and hope that the results will be ample reward to each of you.” Prophecy Bob: “Thank you, Mr. Bachand. Now, to the forty-fourth floor and ‘Who Am |?’ ”’ Such is the scene that confronts many an interested bystander in the center of our thriving metropolis in the year 1963. The celebrities introduced, as well as many other outstanding char- acters, are assisted by the doorman, Bed Balderston, into the spacious foyer where they are confronted by a large guest register. This huge volume appears to be unsupported but, upon peeking over the edge, they discover Freddie DiMauro pa- tiently waiting for them to sign before he collapses under the ponderous mass. Having dispensed with the formalities, they are looking around for means of transportation to the broadcasting room when they are attracted by the troubled hum of a voice. Upon further investigation, they find the one-man commotion none other than the ele vator boy, Bill Stock; and, lo and behold, behind him are rows of elevators. In their journey upward, natural curiosity prevails upon them to ask Bill what he is mum- bling about. His problem is a perplexing one. The usherettes, Barbara Pace and Ann Lovenberg, were fighting over which of “iti FEEL UdddA4 ia cy ————— LL LED, Q eR = 5 ert ZY ge yet Z 4 by � AZ ” Aelliy Ws PG Ee lt Zea a NEN a OR Wi7} + tgbhniuimws—-— Meee ae ANN YH ae them would escort Bill home and have left the matter to him to decide. Luckily, he has as a passenger and audience the pro- found philosopher, Dick Bosworth, who wisely advises him to a their attentions and escort the hat-check girl, Eleanor arlson. Having reached the forty-fourth floor, they proceed down the spacious hall lined with innumerable doors. They pass doors labeled: Fred Wood, President; Harley Stone, Vice-President; Barbara Turner, Secretary; Gloria Scamardella, Treasurer. At last they reach the entrance of the radio studio. Here they are met by the manager, Jack Whyte, who welcomes them and instructs the usherettes to give them the best seats in the house. As all normal people will, the first thing they do, once they are seated, is to look around for familiar faces; and, as all im- portant people will, they find many. Why, there is Dave Gleason, warden of the county jail, and with him, truant officer, John Leranger, talent scout for the reform school. Not far from them are the Powers’ models, Alice McGovern and Shirley Don- oghue, considered his latest and best find by Gordon Prior, who has recently bought the famous mannequin school. At that moment they are attracted to the front of the room where Don Spencer and Red Rowe are rolling in the aisle with laughter, Looking up to find the cause, they are astonished to see Winnie Wail and Cliff Houghton exhibiting desperate antics in attempts to quiet the audience. The psychology of approach is poor, but their goal is reached when electrician, Leo Hamel, flashes on the light ‘‘Quiet Please’ and then they hear, ‘We are on the air.” The strains of ‘‘Star Dust’’ played by none other than Al Bryant fill the studio and the program has begun. Master of co) ines SRV Coe coat ceremonies, Russ Perkins, approaches the mike and a tremerdous sigh rises from the feminine members of the audience. Perk: ‘‘It is a privilege to present to you tonight the first radio program broadcast from the Klaiber Building. First a message from our sponsor by Bob Vaillancourt. Bob: ‘Folks, do you get air-sick, car-sick, sea-sick, home-sick, love-sick, or do you ever have a headache? Anyone who has listened to me has had cause, I'm sure, to use Dr. Bill Burgeson's Triple Time Trouble Tripper. It guarantees to cure anything from apoplexy to goanthropy. Try it tonight. Perk: ‘‘Now, back to ‘Who Am |?’ The brand-new program you are about to hear was originated by ‘Stosh' Pagourgis of our own little city. The object of the program is to acquaint our SSEKRRE TS KKX Keeed SKS ' oeexs oa SSSei S s x Sx citizens with the famed people of their own home town. Our questions are stated as clues and the point is to guess the per- sonage with as few clues as possible. Get it? Okay, we're off! This fellow in the third row looks as though he knows many people. Will you be our first contestant? Tell us a little about yourself, Contestant: ‘Well, | can try. My name is Jimmy Newton and | own a little farm right outside the town here. But, let's get it over with. What do you want to know?” Perk: ‘Dick Cohen wants to know about football heroes. Here's the first clue. ‘He started football in a well-known high school and since then has gained fame in that field of sports.’ C'mon, guess! You can get it on the first one . . . nice Brown suit you have on.” Jimmy: ‘Could it be Earle Brown? Perk: ‘It could and it is Earle Brown. How did you ever get it? The man's a genius. .. . This young lady might be one. Will you try?” 55 Young Lady: ‘Well, I'm no genius.” Perk: ‘Well, enlighten us, then. Who are you?” Young Lady: ‘I’m Therese Welch, a nurse at Springfield Hospital.” Perk: ‘Dick Hieronymous’ question should be easy for you, then. ‘She has recently been elected president of the Chemists’ Union!’ Therese: ‘“‘My mind's a blank.” Perk: “Too bad. Second clue coming up. ‘She has also taught chemistry in the Spring- field Co-ed College for about five years.’ Therese: ‘'Oh, that must be Vera Sullivan.”’ Perk: ‘‘If it must, it must, so let it be. How about your friend here? Want to try, too?” Friend: ‘‘l should say so. Perk: “‘Give with a little information, and then I'll pop the question.” Friend: ‘‘My name is Isobel Noel, and I'm in the Springfield Hospital, too.” Perk: ‘Fair ‘nough. Clara Evans sent in this question. She wants to know ‘Who recently returned from England where she entertained royalty as a concert artist?’ ”’ Isobel: ‘tl know. Ginny Lock. Perk: ‘Right the first time.” The program continues, but our guests are concerned only with the clamor in the outer hall. Curiosity triumphs and they investigate the matter. The center of attraction seems to be Larry Brown, but the cause is indefinite. Then they notice several white- clad figures — Nurses Mary LaMari, Olga Magnani, and Mary Stevens — pushing the crowd back. They are no longer puzzled. Larry did it again! There on a stretcher about to be lifted by internes, Jeff Topham and Don Walker, is poor Ruth Hanscom whoShas split her sides laughing at Larry's jokes. Suddenly, two Irish brogues are heard through the din, and officers John Flaherty Re Lt F 4 oS ; seer oe and John Flanagan of the riot squad are on the job. Well, Flanagan is on the job. Flaherty has stopped to talk with the switchboard operators, Pat Nolan, Marian Girdis, and Shirley Canor. Their interest in the quiz show no longer paramount, they look around for other means of entertainment. Upon reaching the ground floor, they are confronted by a sandwich board worn by Lester Converse. It is the answer to their prayers and directs them to ‘Ye Olde Rooftoppe Restaurante’’ owned by the Mandrus brothers. 56 They are shown to a table by the headwaiter, Bill Brady, and in a moment Olga Viani appears to take their order. This place also is spotted with familiar faces. The first one they spy is Pat Stathis, who seems to be fascinated by her work. As they look closer, they see she is painting, and, fol- lowing her eyes, we find that her subjects are Harold Okun and Bob Langland. The two boys make excellent models as they are absorbed in the floor show where Marty Ackerman and Edith Averill brighten the line of chorus girls. Our friends just spot a foursome of old friends, Chester Flavin, Claire Mecum, Art Childs, and Joyce Mar- coulier, when the lights are dimmed. A spot light is focused on the winsome figure of Janet Wilcoxson, whose voice is featured by the ‘‘Roof- toppe Restaurante.” All of a sudden a tremendous explosion brings them rushing to the door, but the commotion is merely Harold Reeves’ tem- peramental car. Ralph Ertel and Norman Downey rush to the rescue with buckets of water, and soon the uproar subsides. With the able assistance of George Schultz and Johnny Jendron the junk is pieced together and Hal offers our tourists a ride back to '44. In fear and trepidation they accept because they have a story to tell. Their story we have here recorded.

Thomas Coonan Each Tech freshie enters our halls of knowl- edge with a dream of achievement. He wishes to become well-known, well-liked, and to keep up a good scholastic record through his years at Tech. He wants the opportunity to express himself and to make accomplishments in his share of useful work. It is the boy who brings this dream to life, the boy who always wears a smile as well as a twinkle in his eye, and the boy who is a student and all-around man that is the winner of the greatest honor presented by Tech, the Charles Warner Achievement Medal. Each and every student should look up to the winner of this great honor, as he, out of his entire class, has lived his dream and deserves to be put before the rest of his class- mates by his outstanding qualities. To Thomas J. Coonan, Ill, son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas J. Coonan, we extend our congratulations and very best wishes for his continued success. Janet Schmelzinger Janet Schmelzinger, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Schmelzinger, is the member of the class of June, 1944, to receive the Charles F. Warner Achievement Medal, the highest honor Tech has to offer. This medal is Tech’s own dis- tinguished service award for the excellent rec- ords chalked up by the two most energetic members of the graduating class. The recipient of such an award must display such qualities as leadership, dependability, responsibility, and industry. This is not a temporary honor. The attributes for which this medal stands will be a permanent confirmation as to the character of the person holding it. We wish to offer our heartiest congratulations to Janet and hope that her fine record will be an inspiration to all Tech students. 59 Edward Sullivan, Paul Robeson, Dorathy Girdis, Thomas Coonan, Naldo Nammarelli, Mr. Clancy, Dr. Theinert Honor Roll As of April 10, 1944 The organ is playing softly and Mr. Kiley, beaming, steps forward to begin one of the most impor- tant parts of the graduation assembly. A hush falls over the expectant audience and each student's heart beats faster, for the list of the three-year honor students is about to be announced. At last the list is read and the honored few proudly take their places on the stage amidst a thunder of applause. Those who are left in the audience feel a slight pang of remorse because they had not worked hard enough at their studies to have won this honor. But that is all over now. The honor students are filled with a sense of satis- faction, as well they might, for they have fixed their goal and attained it.

Our attention is attracted by a strange sight while we are hunting for our seats. Buried behind a mountain of magazines, we recognize Florio Benedetti engrossed in his murder mystery, ‘The Kat 2] =, Me l] ——J ae | — — —S_=_”,._. —_ Ditk BrepGRick a Ne aK GRAIG ——— Lea Killer.” Patty Potter, reporter for Dorothy Peter's paper, tells us that Governor Thomas Coonan is aboard. She is waiting to interview the Governor on 106 his latest tax bill. Passing on to our seats, we notice that Edward Sullivan is also on board. We see him poring over the latest appeal before the Supreme Count. Before we realize it, we are in the massive Grand Central Station. We have never before witnessed such a hustle and bustle. Edwin Nowak, famous sci- entist, stops long enough to inform us that he is on his way to a meeting of the leading mathematicians of the world, a group which included Donald Budlong, Alexis Caron, and Paul Robeson. They are going to check the mathematical end of his latest theory. Then we stop for a magazine from Lois Mason's stand. We Onno f ses | al se eau (TIME, |COL Dv eS ae SATU : ey a is i ne ; A ova] | LOOX NORMAN |. find that Georgia Pierce is featured on the cover of the latest ‘‘Life’’ magazine. Hailing a taxi, we find Lillian Waters affectionately grasping the wheel. She takes us to Broadway and the “Sassafras Opera.” In the box office, we note Beverly Moon who sells us our tickets. The lights dim under the guiding hand of Bernard Gordon while we take our seats. The spot- light shines on the announcer, Jimmy Prew. He an- nounces the first number before the opera begins — ‘Beethoven's Symphony in B Flat Minus.’’ Starring in the opera are Milton Mondor and Mary Grondalski. The spotlight then turns to the director of the orchestra, Phil DeAngelis. We note among the members of his orchestra Frank Smokowicz at the piano, Richard Coleman, clari- net, and James Bennett, playing the violin. We scan our pro- grams during in- termission and see that Lou Clarke manages the opera, Ro- bert Earnshaw is the financial sec- retary, Shirley Ring, the costumer, and Robert Sullivan, the ticket man- ager. Jim Prew steps out on the stage and introduces some of the well-known celebrities present. The most notice- able is Pat Skidmore who has reserved the whole upper balcony for his wife, Dorothy Kirk, and family. Also present are the newly elected Mayor of Yew Nork, Dick DeBell; the president of Wratt and Phitney Air- craft Co., Gordon Hay; and his assistant, Dick Hills- berg. Elinor Samson, noted gym instructor, is presented as intermission draws to a close. During the last half of the opera, we are again spellbound by the beautiful voices of the stars. As the opera draws to a close, we relax and marvel at the gift of such heavenly voices. Though we have not been aware of it, we realize that we have been under the constant watch of detectives, John Marshall and James Fal- cone, who pro- tect the opera house. As we think of our surreptitious observers, we are reminded | in the same train of thought of the caustic reporters, Elliot Kearsley and Pauline Tanguay, who are covering the opera. We wonder just what the fate of our stars will be in their hands. We shall watch the papers on the morrow. Joining the tide of humanity on Broadway, we are amazed to see Max Distenfeld who tells us he has just inherited a ranch in South Ameri- ca. He is hurrying to see one of Joe Farnham's new- est models, Claire Brisbois. We join him! As we enter, we recognize Jean Leitch and Ruthe Goddard who are on their way fo new as- signments. Flo- rence Leonarkis, secretary for Wower’s Models, Inc., informs us that Claire Phaneuf has recently left for Hollywood. Arthur House and Marvin Nadler, two of Hollywood's foremost scouts, claim to have “discovered” her. Rushing madly towards us, we make out Peter Wolff and his camera. He asks us to accompany him while he photographs the “Miracle of the Daffy Draft- ers, Inc.’ The president, George Elsner, is on hand to greet us. He invites us in to see his shop. Passing through the offices, we meet Horace Tippett, the vice-president; Phil Bogdonoff, the secre- tary; Boyd Allen, the treas- urer; Ted Crapser, the office manager; Marc Girard, the production manager; and ames Bannon, the foreman, with his assistant, Irving Feld- man. Over in the corner we see the ‘‘miracle’’ — the worker of the hive, the only draftsman, Harry Stone. After such an_ exhibition of ‘industry’ 2722722??, we feel the need of an_ energy builder, so we start for the Ice Cream Parlor next door owned and operated by Catherine Magiopoulos and Irene Martinelli. Anita Miner and Jo Anne Simons are waiting on tables. Finally, we take our farewell and start again for Broadway. As we stroll along, our attention is attracted by a theatre sign which announces the opening of the play, “Chewing Tobacco Road,” starring Bill LaMothe and Janet Reed. The supporting cast includes Rosel Buch- holz, Gene Atkinson, James Giuliano, and Jean Benson. Humor is furnished by those comedians, Ray Desnoyers, Paul Piligian, Thomas Moore, and Ray- mond Nutley. Before the play begins, we notice that William Raschi, well-known football player, is present. 107 Melvin Cohen, history professor from Hale University, and Edward Szczebak, famous W.M.C.A. leader, are also among the notables. The house lights dim and oe ea CHEWING -p=-- - fal WETOBACEO ROAD FG I’... E = we | | ' BAS Soy See ees S the curtain is going up. We are immediately struck by the beautiful work done by the scenery painter, Priscilla Laurin. As the play commences, we see that the make-up can only have been done by those experts, Shirley Keefe and Dorothy Durkee. While we are leaving, we overhear two women who look familiar as our old friends, Barbara Serafino and Martha Waldman. They are discussing their latest hats which they bought at ‘The Hatte Shoppe’’ owned by Helen St. Marie and ‘Dolly’? Van Tassel. A popular night club located right on Gimes Square is our next stop. As we enter the gorgeously decorated foyer, the sweet music of ‘‘Reedie’’ Jack Weake and his Snork Club orchestra is heard. Soon Paul Rothery, Arthur Serafino, and Walter Robinson stand and blare out with the latest hit tune, ‘The E-Speedlee-Oten- Doten Serenade.”” We see Jack Ritter and Harold Phillips in the brilliant saxophone section. Thomas D’Amario with his accordian is sitting next to Douglas Johnson who is madly pounding the drums. Before we get too far into the club, Eleanor Papineau calls us back to check our chapeaux. Then we are startled to see that Ted Swierad is the proprietor of this excellent club. We are informed that we have arrived just in time as the floor show is about to begin. As we take our seats, a brilliant orange spotlight is playing upon five breath-taking chorus girls. After scrutinizing close- ly, we noticed that the chorus consists of Veloria Breton, Felicia Carrieri, Isabel Jones, Beatrice Harper, and Joan Meunier. Petite Grace McHugh saunters by our table in the exciting costume of a cigarette girl. Ray Tribelhorn dashes past and shortly a blinding flash cuts the mellow glow of the soft lights. In the momentary light, Ray's target is recognized to be the famous comic artist, Bil Maggi. As soon as the show is over, we leave the night club in order to be on time for the basketball game at Madison Cube Garden. After racing across the busy town, we arrive before the jammed doors of the famous Madison Cube Garden. Pushing our way in, we collide with Morton Rivkin, the light-light pin weight 250-pound notorious boxer. After we take our seats in the first row, we look around and see Bill Whalen, the Physical Education 108 Director at the Checknical High School, and Elsie Bolduan, Yew Nork ‘‘Times”’ reporter. She is gnawing hungrily on the end of an automatic pencil, as she o- w waits impatiently for the game to start. We are sud- denly brought back to our senses as Elaine Belanger, Betty Wade, Jacqueline Coor, Gloria Castor, and Angelina Cardinale dressed in smart uniforms strut proudly out onto the floor. These girls put on an amazing twirling exhibition. Seated on the opposite side of the gym we see Taber J. Bolden, Jr., famed track expert with good friend, Larry Brown, a profes- sional football player. As the basketball game begins, we notice that the team coached by Donald Crean includes Johnny Holochuck, James Kosnack, Bill Kavaney, and Bob Nickerson. During the heat of the game, Jean Lyndes, Dorothy Girdis, and Ethel Mae Kemple are seen cheering for their friends who are playing furiously down on the floor. After another victory for Donald Crean and his men, we join the crowd and are swept back to the brightly lighted street. A long, black limousine drives past while we are waiting for our taxi. We are amazed to see ‘‘play- boy Bob Meister and his trusty chauffeur, Robert Powers. With Bob in the back seat are Mary Daly, Ruth Taylor, and Barbara Breglio. Bob still adheres to the philosophy — “‘the more the merrier.”’ By now we are weary and with the thought of an- other busy day ahead of us, we wend our way to our hotel and Morpheus. —Janet Schmelzinger, George Gamble, Naldo Mammarelli BALLOT — CLASS OF JUNE, 1944 1.

These artists have not been allowed to let their inspirations run away with their imagi- nations. They have, however, had regular assignments such as designing the cover and art pages, illus- trating the sports sec- tion and prophecies, as well as drawing var- ious pen and in sketches throughout William Maggi, Richard Nathan, Patricia Stathis, Shirley Walsh, Richard King, Richard Francis, the book.

Although probably none of them will follow the stage after graduation, training in the drama class helps to give them poise and good carriage. After being in the drama class for a few months, there is no more stage fright.

Mechanical Drawing plays a great part in the life of a Tech student, and an essential one it is; for it is the universal language among engineers from all parts of the world, and it is the starting point from which have come the countless machines, instruments, and tools which form a necessary part of our everyday lives.

Walmer Chief, Taylor, and Brown ‘Chief’ Walmer and Stubbs Taylor, ex- Tech grad, are seen talking things over with Earle Brown, star swivel-hipped Tiger back- field performer at the Hartford game. Dick Moses Dick Moses, Tiger left man in football, basketball, and track is seen out in his wheel chair for the first time since his motorcycle accident a year ago. Seated beside him is Bob Jennings, former star athlete, and Wally Kravitz, teammate with Dick a season ago watching the Hartford game. Here is ‘‘Stosh’’ Pagourgis evading Hartford's would-be tacklers with the aid of Bob Cushman’s perfect block. This enabled him to break into the clear and run 44 yards be- fore he was overtaken and hauled down on Hartford’s 12 yard line. On the play he suffered a bad ankle injury which kept him on the bench the rest of the season. SPECTATORS AND BENCH In this shot the boys on the bench and the Tech rooters sitting right behind them are looking a bit dismayed, for the Tigers have their backs against the wall in the first Ca- thedral tussel at Pratt Field. REFEREES AND PLAYERS Metrango of Cathedral is being brought down with an excellent low tackle by some undisclosed Tech man. Such tackles as this made Tech the only team in Western Mass. that stopped the powerful Cathedral ‘‘T’’ formation. This play is a wid=2 left-end run which could not be worked successfully because of the magnificent job of backing up the line by Robeson, Brown and Holochuck. 125 CHEER LEADERS Under the capable and energetic personality of Max T. Ervin, Tech's foremost musician, a fine young group of cheerleaders were trained and they have done a grand job of swinging Tiger fans in rhythm and rhyme during the football games this past year. Each and every one of the cheerleaders performed various and difficult stunts with the agility, grace, and ease of veteran performers. Doris Sumola, Janet Harris, Connie Dubia, Dotty Davignon, Bob Hanks, Glenn Kittridge, and Bob Busolari were newcomers this year and they gave a good account of themselves. BAND The Tech band, wearing its new uni- forms, can be seen drilling with perfect precision and unison at the Hartford game in Pratt field. Mr. Ervin is leading these forty-four neatly attired musicians as they are about to execute smart and dazzling marching formations which gave them high recognition in Western Mass. circles. Not only were the arrangements select, but the swing cheers and jive played by the band enthralled and entertained 27,000 people before December 15 last fall. SPECTATORS This picture shows a small part of the 8,000 fans who witnessed the famed Tech-Cathedral game at Pratt Field, with the Tigers winding up on the short end of the score, and the Panthers winning 19 to 13. CATHEDRAL It was all Tech in the three games played against Ca- thedral. The Tech cagesters displayed themselves better against Cathedral than against any other squad. The bitter rival gave Tech a good battle only in their first meet- ing. This first game attracted a crowd of 1,500 excited fans. A total crowd of 3,400 came to see the three Tech- Cathedral games. SACRED HEART Tech gained revenge on the Sacred Heart team of Holyoke by defeating them twice this season to more than make up for their only loss last season by this same Sacred Heart team. Tech held the upper hand most of the way in each of the games played. The Sacred Heart team was scrappy, but the Tigers just wouldn't be denied. The 1943-44 Tech basketball champs of the Springfield City League enjoyed a very successful season winning twelve and losing four games. This was coach Johnny Kalloch’s second year coaching the Tech basketballers and is his second city championship. Most of the fellows pictured below have played under Johnny the two seasons he’s been here. CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU, BASKET- BALL CHAMPS. Soo Se SOCCER Here is the 1943 city championship soccer squad: fourth row, Schuler; third row, Mgr. Blanchard, Nadler, Hadd, Kiley; second row, Maggipinto, Kidd, Herberg, Black, Tarpinian; first row, Dinnie, Kavaney, Co-Captains Jerrold and Izzo, Orr, and Niemiec. Bruno Rumpal, now an apprentice seaman in the U. S. Navy, coached this hard fighting team to a city championship. Bruno took over this soccer squad and built it into one of the top-ranking teams in Western Mass., taking the measure of Trade School three times. The last Tech victory over Trade was by a 2-1 score. This was the game that clinched the city championship. The team was paced by chunky John Izzo, a brilliant center forward, who paved the way for his team-mates by scoring two-thirds of Tech’s goals. William Kavaney, Jack Weake, Marvin Nadler, Leo Tarpinian, and Richard Jerrold, veterans from last year’s squad, have been playing a good brand of ball. Joseph Niemiec and John Maggipinto, along with John Izzo have shown what little guys can eg Big James Kosnack and Dyrel Schuler, alternating goalies, didn’t give their opponents much to shoot at. These are the boys who went out and earned the city championship title. Co-captains Jerrold and Izzo With the winning of the city league, the Tech soccer team elected two very capable and valuable players to the position of co-captains. They were the dynamic Johnny Izzo and Dick Jerrold, a sterling defensive player. Johnny sparked Tech in all its victories by flashy and superlative goal booting at the position of center forward. Dick, although no high scorer, could always be depended upon to hold the opponent from entering our defense area. He played the position of center halfback with championship form. It will be hard to find two players to fill the shoes of these Tech- sters next year. 128 TRACK The city championship track team was coached by Grant Koch, and was managed by Don Spencer. The team: first row, left to right, S. Kaplan, B. O’Brien, C. Cobleigh, Donald Bruno; second row, J. Kartainian, R. Cushman, Captain H. Rowe, R. O'Connor; third row, H. Schuler, R. Wells, R. Serri, S. Woodard; fourth row, Manager D. Spencer, B. Gordon, and A. Gerontinos. Missing from picture: P. Robeson T. Bolden, Captain D. Moses, and Coach Koch. The newest addition to Tech's coaching staff was Grant Koch, who filled the vacancy left by Herb Robbins. Grant did a grand job coaching the track team to a city championship, with victories over Classical and Trade. Tech lost the Western Massachusetts crown to Pittsfield after a reign of two years. The only point-makers for the Tigers in the meet were Moses, Stanton, and Rowe. ‘‘Red’’ Rowe and Dick Moses were co-captains of the championship team. Paul Robeson succeeded in setting a new city track record for the high jump with a magnificent ne of 5 feet 11% inches replacing the old record of 5 feet 10 inches held by ‘Frannie’ Grange of ech in 1941. Don and Co-captain ‘‘Red ’ Manager Don Spencer is presenting Captain ‘‘Red’’ Rowe with the City Championship Track Trophy which our track men won by defeating the teams of Classical and Trade. Captain Dick Moses was down in Florida recovering from an accident when the trophy was presented. Dick was voted one of the most valuable track men in Western Mass. in 1943. Both Dick, ‘Spence’, and ‘‘Red”’ had been on the track team for three years and did a great job in leading the team to victory. 129 GYM CLASSES These energetic students are going over the eight-foot barrier under the watchful eye of Coach Batt. Tech's new commando training, almost as stiff as what Uncle Sam gives his nephews, is taken by every Herculean D. G. G. student. The course starts with hurdles, a three- foot wall, and an eight-foot wall. A six-foot ladder, the parallel bars, and the running give the boys a great workout. During the winter time there is a similar course set up in the gym. Starting off with a thirty-foot rope climb, the boys go on to a five-foot horizontal bar, from which they take a forward flip. Then on to a seven-foot horizontal bar where a back flip is performed. Then comes a four and one-half foot fence to hurdle, the parallel bars, the horizontal bars, and last but not least, comes the three-foot buck, after which most of the class collapses. This training has proved invaluable to all the fellows who have gone into the service. They have found that the preliminary toughening up they get here at Tech has greatly benefited them in their life in the armed forces. BRUNO RUMPAL Tech said ‘‘so long”’ to its third coach when Bruno Rumpal went into the Navy late in November. He came to Tech in 1941 and took over the hockey team and coached the Tech pucksters to a championship. Bruno also coached baseball, and helped ‘Chief’ Walmer with the football team. Just before leaving, Bruno gave the school a championship soccer team such as Tech had not seen in many a day. HERB ROBBINS. Herb Robbins, one of the better known coaches in this section, was the first of the trio to answer Uncle Sam's call for physical instructors in the Navy's V-5 program. He was com- missioned a lieutenant (jg) last Ap ril and was sent to Chapel Hill, N. C., where he began his duties as instructor in physical education. During his eight years at Tech, he produced many winning teams which have copped champion- ships in hockey, soccer, track, and volleyball. GRANT KOCH. Grant Koch, popular coach who came to Tech recently, just had time enough to get acquainted before he set sail for the Navy in September with the rank of Ensign. During Grant's brief stay he produced a championship track team and became a popular gym instructor. become well known throughout the state. Tech- 0 (3 Terners Falls O Tesh operes War Stamp Deive — Dor (Ce hia — Under Grant's guiding hand, such star performers as Dick Moses and Paul Robeson have We wish him the best of luck at his new job with Uncle Sam. 132 FOOTBALL The Tech High eleven under the capable leadership of ‘‘Chief’’ Walmer had a fair season as far as the scoreboard shows with three Ta wins, four defeats, and one tie. But OH let's get the story behind the story. _ Injuries were a constant menace to eight varsity men, and had them on the bench the greater part of the season. Four Tigers won laurels on the All-Western Mass. team: Capt. ey Johnny Holochuck, Earl Brown, with Larry Brown again won recognition on the All-City team with a new-comer, Johnny Klaiber. Paul Robeson, Jr., Stan Pagourgis, and Andy Fenton made honorable mention to wind up the list for the season. Each one of these boys was picked because of his outstanding line or back play both offensively and defensively. Sports Highlights For age i) GOLF Our golfers under the guidance of ‘‘Chief’’ Walmer and coach- player, ‘‘Red’’ Mattson, have had a splendid season, as was proved by their defeat of Holyoke, Classical, and Cathedral. Although they lost the Western Mass. Golf Trophy, they won the city Golf Cham- pionship which was held at Franconia Golf Course. ‘Red’ Mattson was elected captain of the championship team for his third consecu- tive year. The members of the squad included: ‘Red’ Mattson, James Bannon, Robert Meister, Allan Grace, Packard Larson, Bill Watt, Robert Black, and Vinnie Mines. BASKETBALL The Kalloch-coached Tech basketball team again came to the top to capture the City League title. Being jinxed only by Classical, Tech enjoyed a very successful season. v- Classical defeated Tech two of the three games they ‘. played. Against Cathedral and Trade, Tech played ! superbly. The team’s passing, shooting, and team- work couldn't be beaten. Co-captains Johnny Holo- chuck and Jimmy Kosnack with John Lenilko, Bill Kavaney, and Bill Maggi played together as a unit. They received capable help from W. Flynn, L. Brown, H. Lebowitz, R. Saffer, R. Hoffman, and G. Davis who would always do their bit when given a chance. The Tech team was given a treat when it traveled to Poughkeepsie, N. Y., for an overnight trip. The fellows enjoyed themselves even though they lost to the Poughkeepsie high school team. Tech suffered but one other defeat, which resulted in the opening game with Williston. The Tech team found Hartford Public High School its toughest opponent. Tech's first victory was over Smith Academy in a thrilling overtime battle. This school was formerly coached by Johnny Kalloch. In the City League Tech opened with a victory over Classical. Lenilko and Co-captain Holochuck did the bulk of Tech's scoring. Co-captain Kosnack, Kavaney, and Maggi did well defensively, besides contributing considerably in the scoring column. These fellows under the capable coaching of John R. Kalloch earned the City Championship for Tech. SOCCER Our soccer squad after a hard fight brought home the city champion- ship from Trade who held it three successive years. The last Tech victory of the season was over Trade by a 2-1 score. This was the game that clinched the city championship. John Izzo paved the way for a Tech vic- tory by scoring two-thirds of all Tech’s goals. BASEBALL The Tiger nine with a new coach at the helm had a fair season with four wins, five losses, and one tie. Twelve returning veterans were at hand to give Coach Johnny Kal- loch a goo d start. Don Walker pitched brilliantly to keep the Tigers in line with the heavy stick- work of Ray Fredericks, chunky backstop, and ‘Butch’ Hill whose rifle arm threw them over from the hot corner. “Butch” Hill was the only Tiger to gain a berth on the All-City team. HOCKEY Henry Batt took over the coach- ing duties of the Hockey team. The team players during the 1944 season included Co-captains Bannon and Hill, and players, R. Meister, R. Falk, T. Camerota, J. Melanson, T. Russel, ip Thomas, W. Plankey, W. Hespelt, J. Ferri, C. Oberg, B. Berganini, W. Robinson, W. Tardiff, and Mgr. J. Anschutz. They played an unfinished schedule in the Inter-city League, winning three and losing two games. Classical gave Tech its two defeats by 3-1 and 3-0 scores. In the second contest with Classical, when the two teams were tied 0-0 with but a minute to go in the second period, Goalie Tony Camerota was injured, and upon his removal from the line-up, Classical scored three quick goals. Bob Meister of Tech put a goal in for Cathedral when Tech played them. 133 134 TRACK At the first meet of the season, Tech beat Trade 48 1 2 to 32 2 3. The team had an easy victory for they took six first places. Paced by Paul Robeson and Clayton Roberts, who took top place five out of nine events, Tech beat the Classical track men 49 to 32. Robeson set a new high jump record with a jump of five feet eleven and one half inches. The Tech Tracksters lost the Western Mass. Interscholastic Track and Field Championships after a reign of two years. The three Tech scorers in the meet were ‘‘Red’’ Rowe, Dick Moses, and Bob Stanton. The most exciting event of the day was when Tom Ricci of Holyoke nosed out ‘‘Red’’ Rowe of Tech by a few inches in the 120 low hurdles. The Elliot Street trackmen came back from their lone defeat of the season by winning the Tenth Annual Interschool Track Meet at Pratt Field on June 2nd. All in all the team has had a fine season although the boys were led by a new coach and most of them were newcomers except for Moses, Rowe, Roberts, and Stanton. GYM TEAM “Chief’’ Walmer started the gym team in 1943 and since then it has put on exhibitions in the school assembly hall. The training is patented along the same lines as that of the Springfield college gym team. The boys are called ‘‘chief's’’ supermen; they include musclemen like Vito Carlo, Ray Doherty, and Al Valentine. TENNIS Tennis is a sport that does not seem to arouse much enthusiasm among Techites. Nevertheless, under the supervision of Bruno Rumpal, the team played at Blunt Park and Forest Park against tough competition meted out by neighboring high school teams. “dl Ssund Mind Pyramid of Girls— Occasionally the Cadets find time during their short Monday meetings to try out such skills as forming pyramids and doing mat work. Office Cadets— The Office Cadets is an- other newly organized group of girls. They are very im- portant inasmuch as they don't take gym. It is their responsibility to run the showers, take care of selling towels, and assist Miss Whit- temore in checking attend- ance and any other office work needed. Cadet Officers— This is an informal picture of the Cadet Officers at lunch time. They are, left to right: Jean Lyndes, Secretary; Janet Schmelzinger, Vice-President; and Eleanor Samson, President. Pe Grund Bedy — Juvenal — Calisthenics— This exercise is one of the many given to the girls during the first part of each gym period. The calisthenics are very similar to some given to members of the armed forces. This is called squat thrust or prone fall. On Ropes— Another popular piece of apparatus is the ropes. The ropes are used for many other purposes besides climbing and, therefore, are one of the most important apparatus pieces. Stage Picture — At a combined assembly with the boys, the Cadets showed their skilled talent in apparatus, drilling, and calisthenics. They are doing some of their exercises here, commanded by Miss Whittemore. Dear Brother, It is now 10:307P.M. and | have just finished pre- paring my lesson for tomorrow. | am going to write you tonight about our new gym work. Remember how interested you always were when I'd come home and tell you about my gym classes and after school sports? Well, things have changed a lot now; and instead of just swinging on the rings or doing a little mat work, we have strenuous drilling, calis- thenics, and obstacle races. You see, Mark, | guess old Uncle Sam decided that it was just as important for the girls as well as the boys to keep physically fit. Our workouts are given to us under government regula- tions. Even though you have a sergeant’s rating in the Air orps, | bet you aren't half as severe with the men as some of our cadets are with us. The cadets are a newly organized group of girls who have passed certain quali- fications in order to give commands and take over a whole gym class if necessary. Boy! they certainly make us step around to say nothing of marching us into the wall (1) because they can't think of the right com- mands to give. It is great fun! 138 Our obstacle course takes in work on many different pieces of apparatus. We are rewarded with ‘strength for our daring’’ when we are courageous enough to scale a Swedish box (2) which has been set up high on mats. Mark, scaling over wide ditches or shell holes would Rp? Sh WN (3) be a snap for us because we are learning to swing off the ropes (3) over a high buck. I'm sure foxholes wouldn't bother us much, either, as we have been instructed in doing a shoulder roll (4) (4) under a heavy beam about one foot off the floor. Then we run a distance and fall to the floor. We repeat this exercise several times. If you think you have seen some pretty queer sights, Mark, | wish you could see us girls doing such exer- cises as the centipede (5), human ball (6), and rocking horse (7). The centipede is so queer you can scarcely Although most of the girls look forward to their gym classes as being a recreation as well as instructive period, the calistheni cs are taken seriously by every- one. Many of the exercises are similar to those that are given to service-men. You will probably recall Tm flosfing with the current 5) — (IY (5) tell who's who and the human ball cannot even be distinguished as being a real person. The rocking horse is a lot of fun to do, and most of the girls enjoy it. ss LUiO (6) doing an exercise (that we call the airplane (8)) during your basic training. Didn't you do the prone fall (9), or squat thrust (10), rowing, and sit-ups (11)? We do several others, too, but | think those | mentioned are the ones with which you are more acquainted. You can probably see how this new gym instruction is agreeing with me, because of the length of this letter. | really feel well, and don't seem to get tired so quickly.

Would you have clipped photographs laboriously and written copy when you had heard passing re- marks such as ‘‘save us a booth,” or “‘let’s chew a rag and ham- burger’? You're right you wouldn’t---and if it hadn't been for the persistence of those beautiful girls, handsome boys AND our advisors, you wouldn't be reading this creation in which these words so miraculously appear. Of course, when there were in- variably half-a-dozen gorgeous co-ed beauties lounging on your desks nudging at your elbow and so forth, new inspiration flowed into the handsome brutes who usually had their size 11 (or more) feet luxuriously flung on a desk top. Of course, this worked vice-versa, too. It wasn't even until now, that Editors Pauline Tanguay and Rene Bachand were sure that the book would ever ‘be’ but here it is---actually here! Look at it, Kids. It’s yours! Hold the volume in your two hands---if you think it’s heavy, that’s just all our gray matter that we have put into it. Regard that luscious cover before your eyes. Richard Nathan is responsible for that fine masterpiece. Hour on top of hour has been spent on the art work. Leonardo 142 a en Janet and Jim — writers of prolific copy Far into the night...

And as for the sport section---well, nothing could be sportier, thanks to Tech's own Don Spencer and Red Rowe. Peter Wolff, Bill Hafey, and Ray Triblehorn haven't been doing handstands and back bends for nothing. Look at those snappy shots in the jumble section; those are the results our photographers have had. Wearing out their number 17 and 18 coupons by walking all over Technical High School's numerous corridors, have been Janet Reed and George Gamble trying to get information on all the various clubs that have been established. They almost re- solved to set up an ‘‘information booth’ in some corner where they could have gathered information more easily. If you have seen Larry Marshall perched down in the band room with a hat slapped on the back of his head and a pencil and pad in hand, you will understand why---he has been interviewing Max Ervin for the music section. You'll have to excuse Jean Meyrick, Harriet Sheehan, James Prew---??---for their dreamy expressions lately. If you look at the section ‘Of What Dreams Are Made”, you ll understand and undoubtedly expostulate on the wonderful job they have done. The other staff members who have had that sleepy look have been working just as hard, too. And have you noticed that ‘Cat that licked the cream dish’ look which Miss Hilliker has had recently. Well, who can blame her after advising the smiling group of kids that have put out this 1944 Tech Tiger. 143 LUNCHROOM Cashiers and Girls Patrol Who wouldn't buy ‘Tech's Special’’ at lunch everyday if they could be beamed up- on by our most attractive cashiers. The smile each girl gives her customer is worth as much as the dinner. Have you noticed your cor- rect change? There is hardly ever a mistake and never a growl.

TRAFFIC Miss Techite was seen standing by the corner of the Assembly hall when swish---around the cor- ner, nearly knocking her off her feet, flew a huge hunk of man. He continued on his race track without stopping to pick up her numerous papers flung from one end of the hall to the other. With a deep sigh and a glance at the far flung books and their contents, she began picking them up. She heard slow, dragging footsteps coming down the corridor. Lifting her eyes from her picking-up job and glanc- ing toward the footsteps, she just had to snicker! There before her was the huge hunk of man once more. There was a change in his appearance, however. The added attraction was a traffic officer hanging onto his victim. Our traffic boys make just such incidents very rare occasions in the halls of Tech.

Everyone had spring-fever including ‘Teky.’’ He was strolling by one of these opened win- dows on an errand for one of the teachers. He breathed in the peacefulness of the balmy day and could have fallen asleep on his feet when---out of a clear sky---a voice boomed from behind him shouting ‘‘Pass’’! It was like a shot in the dark to him. He came out of his dreaminess and showed his pass to his disturber. After he had secured his signature, he continued on his errand. The word ‘‘Pass’’ echoed about him at every traffic post. Strolling purposelessly is curtailed by the ever-alert corridor guards. First row: N. Carr, R. Sochurek, N. Gibbings, B. Tanguay, V.

It is a real honor for a student to be a member of this society for the requirement for admission is a B plus average in all subjects. Every semester, the society conducts an assembly to acquaint the incoming freshmen with the honor societies of this school and to give them a goal for which to aim and an ambition to attain. The new members are then told of the privileges enjoyed by a member of Pro-Merito. These privileges include dismissal from a last period study, use of the new library during study periods, and an extra set of books for home use. These privileges alone are not all the enjoyable parts of Pro-Merito for, previous to the war, state- wide conventions were held in which all the societies in the state were represented. These conventions were always fun and provided fresh enthusiasm, ideas, and inspiration to all who participated. Dances, banquets, and other entertainments have taken place to bring the relations between the societies closer together. Meetings are held frequently by the societies in which the above mentioned activities are planned and the serious side of Pro-Merito is discussed. Many outstanding students of Tech have, in the past years, received scholarships to college because of their high standards of scholarship, leader- ship, and stewardship. So far every single one who received a scholarship has been a member of Pro-Merito. It has been only through the unending patience, kindness, and hard work of Miss Miriam Allen and Dr. C. A. Cockayne, the Pro-Merito advisers, that the society has been able to carry on so well through the difficulties that have beset it. To them belongs a great deal of the credit for the suc- Ispeecrt ob ec ts coming up cess of the Pro-Merito society in Tech. The members for this school year include: Rene Bachand, John Jandrow, Richard Jerrold, Carlton Klaiber, James Mandrus, Joyce Marcoulier, Arthur Petlock, Harold Reeves, George Schultz, Harriet Sheehan, Patricia Stathis, Samuel Sugarman, Veronica Sullivan Walter Worthington, Raymond Brandoli, Alan Barret, Shirley Bates, Elaine Belanger, Philip Bogdonoff, — John Brogan, Victor Carman, Alexis Caron, Louis Clarke, Melvin Cohen, Richard Coleman, Joan Colvin, Thomas Coonan, Jacqueline Coor, Richard De Bell, Sophia Diamentis, Max Distenfeld, James Falcone, Joseph Farnham, Irving Feldman, Enica Fleck, George Gamble, Marc Girard, Dorothy Girdis, Bernard Gordon, Elliot Kearsley, Louis Kerlin, Robert Kraviec, George Lincoln, Catherine Magiopoulos, Naldo Mammarelli, Irene Martinelli, Milton Mondor, John Nelson, Edwin Novak, Lem Ong, Dorothey Peters, Paul Piligian, James Prew, William Raschi, Janet Reed, Paul Robeson, Anne Sampson, Janet Schmelzinger, Charles Selwitz, Joanne Simons, Pat Skidmore, Edward Smith, Rachel Smith, Theodore Swierad, Edward Szczebak, Pauline Tanguay, Raymond Tribelhorn, Evelyn Van Tassel, William Wilson, Peter Wolff, Glenn Aggerup, Adele Bengle, Roland Bouchard, Wilfred Breck, Horace Brown, Ralph Campbell, Ilene Canor, Vito Caolo, Norma Carr, Jin Wah Chin, Alfred Cloutier, Donald Collins, Albert Couter, Florence Czerniawski, Girard Desnoyers, Thomas Doyle, James Duffy, Joseph Ferri, Richard Francis, Roger Godin, Allen Griggs, Anne Guiheen, Edith How- land, Edith Isham, Carol Johnson, Evelyn Johnson, Charles Jones, Samuel Kaplan, Angelo Kaseme- otes, David Kellogg, Otto Korn, Philip Kyriacou, Dorothy Laramee, Doris MacKenzie, Walter Morrow, Enos Reggiani, Henry Ring, Robert Robson, George Rosinski, Jeanne Rouillard, Philip Saffer, Arthur Scott, Irving Serf, Allen Silbergleit, Anna Simons, Alfred Smith, Beverly Southwick, Barbara Spengler, Stanley Szule, John Tillotson, Merwin Tober, Julia Wegeil, Walter Weisse, William Yurkee. 147 148 STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council is a group of students who represent all the students in Tech and are pledged to insure student equality, uphold cooperation between the school and student body, promote school activities and, on the whole, create a more substantial school spirit. The Student Council has tried to maintain and fulfill this pledge by representing the student body in matters where the student's opinion is required; planning, supervising and directing all class elections; accepting new Tech clubs and or- ganizations and awarding them charters; drawing up a standard constitution for all classes; combining membership with the Student Association, thus giving students equal financial standing in the Associ- ation; sponsoring a Red Cross drive; taking charge of all the corridor bulletin boards and approving all material to be posted on them; and by representing the school in the Inter-School Student Council made up of the councils from Classical, Commerce, Trade and Tech. The Tech Council meets every Monday during second lunch period and brings forth and discusses problems at hand. In the Student Council are represented all the chartered clubs in the school. These organizations include tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grade representatives, presidents of all classes, editor-in-chief of the ‘‘Tech News’’ and the ‘Tech Tiger’, chief of the Student Patrol, a representative of boys’ athletics, who is elected by major ‘'T’’ men, and the president of the G.A.A., who represents the girls’ athletics. When all these representatives put their heads together, excellent results are the outcome. The members this year include: president, Thomas Coonan; vice-president, Louis Clarke; secretary, Pauline Tanquay; tenth grade president, George Brunelle; eleventh grade president, Roger Griswold; twelfth grade representatives, Richard DeBell and James Prew; eleventh grade representatives, William Yurkee and John Harrington; “Tech Tiger,’ Pauline Tanguay; ‘Tech News’, Dorothy Peters; Nisimaha, Florence Hamel; Senior Hi-Y, Naldo Mammarelli; Junior Hi-Y, Alex Medlicott; B.A.A., John Klaiber; Radio Club, Elliot Kearsley; Photo Club, Peter Wolff; Chess Club, Richard Schmetzer; and Pro-Merito, Don Collins. S. A. BOARD This business-like group is the Board of Directors of the Student Association. The purpose of this board is to decide how the Student Association money is to be used in order to benefit the greatest number of students, to decide what activities shall be supported by the Student Association, to exam- ine and to approve the annual expense budgets submitted by the various activities, and to vote ap- propriations of money to meet such expenses. The members of this board include teachers and students who represent all the important activities throughout the school. The student representatives are usually the presidents or leaders of the school activities. The teachers are the faculty advisers or class auditors. In this way these representatives are able to report on their own activities and the money used and needed by their various functions. It also is true that the students with responsible positions are the ones able to judge the best use of the S. A. Fund. The 1943-1944 representatives are as follows: M. Marcus Kiley, Principal, Chairman; Donald G. Gifford, Assistant Principal, Adviser Student Council; Charles R. Allan, Secretary; Alfred R. Lincoln, Treasurer; Frank J. McMahon, Faculty Auditor, Class Jan. 1944; Howard C. Kelly, Faculty Auditor, Class June 1944; Howard Mitchell, Faculty Auditor, Class June 1945; Alexander D. Davis, Faculty Auditor, Class June 1946; Carlton W. Klaiber, President Class, Jan. 1944; Thomas J. Coonan, President Class, June 1944; Roger C. Griswold, President Class, June 1945; George Brunelle, President Class, June 1946; Thomas J. Coonan, President, Student Council; Donald Collins, President, Pro Merito; Irvin G. Walmer, Boys’ Athletic Director; George A. Andrews, Auditor, Boys’ Athletics; John F. Klaiber, Representative, Boys’ Athletics; Miriam M. Whittemore, Girls’ Athletics Director; Elinor A. Samson, Representative, Girls’ Athletics; Dwight C. Francis, Faculty Adviser, ‘Tech News’’ Edi- torial Staff; Dorothy A. Peters, ‘‘Tech News’’ Editor; Orley L. Duffin, Faculty Adviser, ‘‘Tech News” Business Staff; Pauline A. Tanguay, ‘Tech News’’ Business Manager; Herbert E. Northrop, Faculty Auditor, ‘Tech Tiger’; Stanley A. Sprague, Faculty Adviser, Student Patrol; Carlton W. Klaiber, Chief Student Patrol; Sidney V. Doane, Dramatics; Max. T. Ervin, Music. 149 Seated: J. Wilcoxson, J. Marcoulier, D. Peters, P. Potter, E.

Francis TECH NEWS If you see a student with pencil and notebook in hand asking a teacher or student the questions how, when, where, why, who, and what, it is no doubt a ‘Tech News’’ reporter interviewing someone for his ‘‘weekly beat’ or getting a ‘‘scoop.’’ Of course, this is just one of the duties of a reporter. There are also the jobs of writing up the news, copy reading, planning the several pages, and proof- reading at the printers. These are jobs covered by the editorial staff. There are many others which fall on the Business Staff. For example, did you ever wonder how your ‘‘Tech News”’ gets to you so promptly? The circu- lation department, which is part of the Business Staff, takes care of this. This department also mails out many copies of the Tech paper to other schools and graduates, now mostly service men and women who have signed their names on the office register. TECH NEWS The ads that appear on the back page of every ‘Tech News” have been secured by the efforts of the advertising agents. These agents get the ads by using their number 18's running to practically every store in town. Besides this, there are let- ters to write and bills to send and to pay. Of course, Tech's journalists do get re- wards for their efforts. Because Tech News is a member of the Western Massa- chusetts League of School Publications, everyone on the Tech News Staff is in- vited to attend conventions of the League which are held at different schools, often out of town, and include such entertain- ment as a dinner, business meetings and dancing. 150 Seated: B.

A. come sounds that only a group of Tech girls can make. While some girls are sent out to round up stragglers, who are hanging around the piano or playing games, the president of Tech Nisimaha, Lillian Waters, calls the meeting to order. The evening's program is announced by Dot Peters, program chairman, and murmers of approval echo through the gym. After the business meeting and discussions are over, the girls amuse themselves as they please. One of the most popular ‘‘diversions’’ is group singing led by Mrs. McLain, a favorite with all the girls. Discussions held under the watchful eye of Dr. Theinert are always a high point. Her jovial personality and willingness to participate makes her an ideal and very well-liked advisor. Nisimaha contributes to social welfare by making stuffed toys for shut-ins, cookies for the U. S. O., and give many an enjoyable dance. Jean feeds 'em at Nisimaha initiation Initiation! What could be worse! Would they have live gold fish to swallow? Would they make all the new, innocent, harmless girls feel silly? A million and one other questions whirled within Miss Techite's golden head as she pushed herself toward the fatal room in which all the old Nisimaha girls awaited their ‘‘prey.”’ Miss Techite had hardly stepped into the room when “‘blackout! ’ She was blind- folded! Her heart sank; what next?!?! After she had swallowed lengths of spa- ghetti yards long and after she had been dragged through many other obligations, she decided it was worth it all to be a Nisimaha girl. 151 FUTURE ANGELS OF MERCY Nurses, Nurses! That cry is heard far and wide these days. Even here at Tech newly awakened patriotism is stirring among the girls. On the second floor, right corridor, you see a door marked ‘‘Emergency’. Behind this door, girls wash wounds, bandage cuts and even feel a little ill with their patients. But they are gaining one valu- able thing---experience. They love it, too, and gladly give up their study and home- room periods to work with their pal and supervisor, Mrs. Parent, or ‘‘Nursie’’ to them.

PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB Have you ever breezed by a certain door up on the third floor and seen boys such as Ray Tribel- horn, Peter Wolff, and Bill Haffy dashing in and out. This is a common everyday experience. Yes, those ambitious boys spend half their time developing, printing, and enlarging pictures and the other half of their time is spent securing the pictures at dances, in the lunchroom, and any other convenient places. They are getting pictures that you will get pleasure from in later years. Scoops on the Beat at the end of this book is overflowing with their products. Many boys interested in photography formed a club which meets Monday afternoons for business. Howard Reed, as advisor, has the boys under his wing and many masterpieces have been turned out. This may be a hobby for many of these camera-minded boys now, but when our eyes turn to the future, we see it as an important career. So maybe we should give our promising career men a thought as we slam our lockers closed and race down the hall toward the nearest exit at 3:15 on Monday.

They have become so skilled that they have challenged a group of chess-minded fac- ulty members to a tournament. Their jolly meetings have been spent competing among themselves with quips and quants mixed in with their game. So if you hear a humming floating out of room 208, you'll know the Tech Chess Club is once more in conference. Seated: R. Schmetzer, W. Fitzgerald, H. Mittleman, H. Maier, S. Heath. Standing: E.

Una nacion indi- visible con libertady justicia para todos.’ If you have seen any dark haired senoritas and senors drifting around Tech's own hallways with the above words on their lips, you'll know who—a Spanish Club member! Since Spanish is spoken in more separate governments than any other language, and as a study in school has increased the past six years far beyond the growth of any other language, and because of our interest in the Southern Republics, and Spanish-speaking islands, a demand for Spanish Clubs is becoming universal. As usual, of course, Tech is right on its toes and has its own well organized club. Every other Monday afternoon the members, about twenty Spanish-minded students, gather in 203 for their meetings with Mr. Mitchell. They have organized their club in the footsteps of the suggestions of the Pan American Union which they obtained through the United States Bureau of Education. Seated: D. MacKenzie, M. Oliver, A.

These fellows are all members of the Tech Senior Hi-Y, a club organized to get high school seniors together to better themselves in an interesting and uplifting manner. The programs usually start with a short Bible selection, read by some volunteer member. This scripture helps greatly by putting the fellows in a serious frame of mind. Then a short business meet- ing follows, which consists of bringing up any new business or finishing any old business. Next, the high- light of the evening arrives, namely, the speaker. Speakers at the Senior Hi-Y meetings always find curious and helpful listeners. These speakers vary from button collectors to Naval Officers and give the fellows new interests which engross them till the next meeting, when some new idea is introduced. uvestions always pop up to baffle the speaker and also to keep the members alert and ready to learn. In all, our meetings always manage to be lively and full of pep and vitality. Hi- Y has always been, and will always continue to be, a club whose main purpose is to develop better citizens, better Americans! V.-Pres. Meister, Pres. Mammarelli, Sec.

Medlicott THE TECH JUNIOR HI-Y The Junior Department of the Tech Hi-Y is a very important part of Hi-Y in that it trains its members to uphold the high standards of the club. Any junior is eligible to apply for entrance into this club as long as he can fill the requirements and obtain the favorable recommendation of three members of the faculty and the approval of our principal, Mr. M. Marcus Kiley. Programs of the Junior Hi-Y are not unlike those of its senior brother. They consist of a regular Bible reading, a business meeting, and then the entertainment for the evening. Entertainment is procured by the vice-president of the club, who usually provides an excellent program, which interests everyone present. These programs are not made for sheer enjoyment, but rather, to give the fellows new knowledge. The value of Hi-Y cannot be overestimated because the regular meetings teach the boys the value of friendship and make them realize the great worth of close companionship among themselves. Every boy becomes a better boy by his Hi-Y experience, not only because of the many advantages, but also because of the standards by which he must live. The worth of the club is expressed clearly and concisely in the Hi-Y code by which all boys vow, ‘‘To create, maintain and extend, throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character.” Treas.

The intent students could almost hear the roar of the guns; they could almost smell the smoke from the gunpowder; and Russia's cold winds blew around them in whirls. Then... as if a gun were fired right in front of them, the Mi: Lynch == Frontlin Bre Weoiied classroom telephone broke up the battle with a start. Silence reigned while the teacher answered her phone call with brief statements and explanations. Then, putting the receiver back on its hook, she announced that Joe was wanted in the office. A sigh of relief from everyone (except Joe) could be heard through the room. From the 19th century with Napoleon, Joe walked into the 20th century down the corridors of Tech and entered the well-known room by the Eliott St. entrance. He was greeted by friendly chatter and smiles and nods from many gorgeous beauties behind the counter. These industrious girls relieve the fear of timid students from entering the dreaded room. They distribute notices, answer the school phone, take messages, do errands, and many more important jobs that keep our great school rolling. They are the office squad. 156 Standing: Mae Zajchowski, Frank Skorupski, Lois Wolley, James Prew, Janet Reed, Mr. Clancy, Claire Rodney, Walter Meyer, Barbara Ouiatt, Mary Scala, Marvin Mandell, Lawrence Buddington.

With his pleasant smile and efficient look, he told us all to dig deeper than ever today. Then his routine commenced once more. He greeted every fellow student with a different bit of news and chatter. The jingle of his money as he made change, and the smell of freshly moistened glue, from many newly received stamps, filled the room with a sense of friendliness and victory. As the procedure was completed, the class once more settled down to Trig., Chemistry, English, and a million more undertakings with the feeling of great satisfaction. Three-fifteen found a cheerful group of boys and girls bubbling out the entrance of our great school to look with great pride at the Minute Man flag which they, by their constant purchase of stamps and bonds, keep flying over Tech. 157 DINING ROOM ‘I'm guest today.” ‘Oh, | wish | were. | have to serve.’ These may have been the voices of any two girls in Miss Miller's home economics class just before this picture was snapped. These girls are having practice in serving a model meal with all the work included. Each girl takes her turn at performing the various duties which include cooking, serving, being hostess, or guest. RADIO RESEARCH Do these words liaison trans- mitter, inter-communication system, and radio compass mean anything to you? For those that have sci- ence, they probably do. For the others, these names are parts of the airplane radio which Mr. Rich- ardson and several boys removed from the airplane in Room 101 and re-assembled in working order on a demonstration truck to be moved around to the science rooms for study. iw ae oe a 1 7 ! ad EMA ome i's 4 WOODSHOP ee _ Cee emm eeme If some day when you are on the first floor, you decide to follow the whrr-like sound of the saws to their source, you will find yourself in one of the woodshop ° classes.

Sharp and snappy suits, ties, shoes and what-have-you for all tastes and times. Our own Tommie Coonan thinks so much of this Sport Shop that he works as a salesman there in his spare time. For sports — for gardening — for anything, Steiger’s has the plu-perfect answer for hi-schoolers. Now isn't it so?

Stewart Ca. “It was 2:15 when out through Tech’s doors The Tiger Staff left in two’s and four’s. We hurried down to the Printer’s Shop To see the yearbook run off like a clock.” As the excited group entered the shop, they were cordially greeted by F. Kinsley Whittum of the John E. Stewart Printing Co. They wandered casually through the typesetting aisles and watched the deft movements of the experts, who were putting the finishing touches on the ‘‘Tiger.’’ This was a new experience for the group and they didn’t miss a thing. The ponderous machines rumbling and groaning created a terrific din over which they could scarcely hear themselves think (as if they could). Finally, in the Press Room, they saw the yearbook being run off speedily. Here they are — Left to Right: R. King, P. Tanguay, C. Brisbois, Miss Una Hilliker, F. Kinsley Whittum, C. Magiopoulos, J. Prew. The photographer, W. Hafey. Mr. Whittum explained the mechanics of the process. ‘‘The important features of the ‘Letterpress’ printing industry consist of good ink distribution, careful make-ready to make all portions of the form print equally well, and right humidity conditions. The matter of the gas burner dries the ink and removes excess static electricity.” His closing statement was, ‘Good presswork can be responsible for the best in yearbooks.” The wide, welcoming door brought Bosworth customers into a room bubbling with high school beauties and brutes. The room rang with laughter and shrieks of delight mingled with typical high school banter. Shirley Ring's well-known chuckle burst forth. Then she said thoughtfully, ‘I’ve decided on number three. It looks the least like me!”’ Pat Skidmore made the usual classic remark, ‘‘Dot approves of this one, so here goes my fate!’’ He handed Mrs. Cumming his selected proof. “This one looks like Hedy LaMarr,’’ sighed Jean Benson. At this point Ray Brandoli stuck in his, ‘Bragging or complaining?” ‘Guess it's time for me to get a retread,’’ growled Norman Meadeau as he looked critically at his proofs. Mrs. Cumming reassured him that retouching does wonders. The merry group said they certainly hoped so. Ray Brandoli and Delphin e Adamski were ‘experimenting,’ by covering up certain sections of Delphine'’s face to see just what was queer about proof number four. ‘‘I've got it, ’ bellowed Ray, and Delphine looked back at their project to find Ray covering up her whole face. ‘“Well, ’ remarked the experimenter, ‘don't you think it looks best that way?’ Delphine had to admit it did. Attracted by the hilarity, Mr. Wright, friend and photographer of all high school boys and girls for forty-four years, came in with his merry ‘‘How d'ya do? for all his boys and girls. Our group of Techites fooled and joked with him and in his friendly manner he said, ‘Yes, I'm still trying to keep you youngsters together pictorially if not actually.’’ The patient, kindly photographer, who appears like an apparition behind his mechanism and black cloth, bid farewell to ‘his children’’ and disappeared into his One World, his photography room. Jean Benson remarked out of a clear sky, ‘‘I’'ve decided to take the one like Hedy LaMarr ‘cause no one will remember what | looked like 50 years from now,’ and with a ripple of laughter she handed her glamorous proof to Mrs. Cumming. ‘Let's put the show on the road, kids, and shove,’’ Shirley urged, and so with last minute explana- tions to poor, swamped Mrs. Cumming, the band of happy Techites filed out satisfied and pleased with their graduation pictures.
