S. S. TECHNICAL This year the Tech Tiger presents Tech as the U.S.S. Technical; a training ship—a ship of knowl- edge. As freshmen, the seamen of the U.S.S. Technical encounter unknown obstacles on an unchartered sea. They must become accustomed to strange routines and schedules and become acquainted with new teachers and classmates. In the following two years, as ensigns and lieutenants, the experience of our voyage makes us more familiar with the ports of call around our educational world. At last we turn toward home with our goal, the diploma, in sight. Living in a world of scientific wonders, ‘‘U. S. S. Technical” theme in the 1954 yearbook, has been symbolized on the cover with a series of cross hatch lines made in the contour of a sailing vessel. The lines suggesting the sails are symbolic of the Techite’s scientific training in the causes and effects of air, light, and sound currents in our universe as he charters his course. The cover design is the creative work of Joan Riendeau and the rendering was executed by Philmore Colburn. Charlotte Audren is the artist who created the page of caricatures entitled “Tatoos.”’ The division pages, the cover lining, and the line drawing insertions are the work of Pat Hanson.

BROOKS OCTOBER 10, 1894 — APRIL 9, 1954 “A scholar is the favorite of Heaven and earth, the excellency of his country, the happiest Ofenieneet “A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.“ 2 Our William Brooks was such a scholar and such a teacher. Here at Tech he was able to inspire, persuade, and encourage many of his students, past and present, to want his particular branch of learning more than anything else. Through his writings he was extend ing his influence country-wide. William Brooks also served well beyond the schoolhouse, as a colonel in the Chemica] Warfare Service in World War II, as a layman leader in his church, as a husband and father of his respected family. William Brook’s efforts have been doubly appreciated by members of this year’s graduating class, as the respected chemistry teacher of many, as the financial adviser for all class functions. Tech will miss William Brooks. 1. Ralph Waldo Emerson 2. Henry Adams navigators COMMANDER GIFFORD Commander on the U.S.S. Technical this year is a man who was new to most of us, Mr. Donald G. Gifford. However, he overcame any handicap facing him as a stranger to us at the first school assembly. From his first step on the gangplank, Mr. Gifford has backed the school to the hilt in sports, activities, and spirit. He has a double reason for being Tech-minded; first, because he has previously acted as assistant principal here; and second, because this school gives him a won- derful chance to exercise his administrative talents, Beside his liking for school administrative work. Mr. Gifford loves fishing, so much so that he has often gone without a meal to fish. His two daugh- ters are hobbies which really fill out his busy schedule. Mr. Gifford has attended many Springfield schools as teacher, coach, or principal. He has seen Springfield schools from the inside out, and is working to make this school the best there is. Commander Gifford and the U.S.S. Technical make an unbeatable combination to forge through the sea of learning. EXECUTIVE OFFICER JACKSON Vitally important to our vessel is the Executive Officer, Mr. Jackson. He is executive plus, always dashing from office to office with important busi- ness; but busy as he is, he is an ardent rooter, backing all Tech activities. At games he is a strong part of the cheering section and school presentations find him right in the front row. The only time Mr. Jackson gives up his seat in front is during Tantrums. Then he is the “big man backstage’’ on whose shoulders rests the show. Another big responsibility of the ‘‘Exec’’ is the Student Patrol, the top-notch group of students who control Tech traffic. Rushing around as he does, Mr. Jackson doesn’t appear to have time for anything else; but he has lots of writing talent. His knack for rhyme and rhythm has been shown in Tech News and in “Tantrums” novelties. That sparkling wit is another talent for which he always has time. With Mr. Jackson on board, our voyage is full of pep and sparkle. mO—-nnO m7 PAW Left to right: Norma G. Reppucci, Stella M. Gilwech, Dorothy M. Angers, Irene A. Norris. Our very capable office staff has been a great help in keeping our records straight and have also provided us with courteous, able, and willing assistance. Miss Norma Reppucci, who orders our training and sailing supplies; Mrs. Irene Norris, who keeps track of our ship-board attendance; and Mrs. Dorothy Angers, who is in charge of college applications and Commander Gifford’s cor- respondence, are all ably headed by Miss Stella Gilwech, who efficiently handles the job. Left to right, standing: Dr. Theinert, Seated: Mr. Lynch, Mr. Sprague. We all thank the able navigators who plotted our course. Before sailing, we were subjected to various aptitude tests administered by Doctor Theinert (who hopes to sail someday on a luxurious ocean liner). Miss Whittemore, who counseled the girls with their problems, is our Red Cross Sponser on shipboard. Mr. Sprague and Mr. Lynch had charge of our sailing orders and coun- seled our boys. Stan Sprague proved especially handy in teaching us to handle our training guns. Whittemore. T™OZ oO—-CO m7 34HW NEW TEACHERS a | | Left to right, around table: Mrs. Donovan, Mrs. Grogan, Miss Shea, Mr. Bowler, Mr. Jackowski, Mr. Moyle, Mr. Snow. Standing: Mr. Zahner, Mr. Curran, Mr. Peterson, Mr. Bomberger, Mr. Wiatrowski. For our important voyage we enlisted the aid of twelve new officers in addition to our seasoned navigators. Although this is their first year aboard our ship, the U.S.S. Technical, they have proven San worth in training our crew in their specialized fields. Four of these teachers have enlisted in our English Department. Miss Mary Shea, in Cabin 225, graduated from New Rochelle College and taught English for four years at Forest Park Junior High. In the cabin next door, 226, Mr. Carl Bomberger, from Verona, New Jersey, holds his classes. He is a graduate of Montclair Teach- ers’ College. Mr. Richard Zahner, of Groton, Mass., is a graduate of Yale University and taught English in Avon, Conn. Mr. Richard Bowler is the latest addition to the English Department and was assigned to Cabin 115. He graduated from the University of Massachusetts and taught at Nichols Junior College. Miss Margaret Donovan and Mr. Henry Wia- trowski are the two new additions to the Social Studies Department. Miss Donovan is a graduate of the University of Massachusetts. She taught in Palmer and was president of the Hampden County Teachers’ Association. Mr. Wiatrowski, a graduate of A.I.C., taught 3 A.I.C. and in Japan, while serving in the U'S. rmy. The Mathematics Department was also in- creased by two. Mr. Alphonse Jackowski, a graduate of the University of Mass., was awarded a G.E. Mathematics Fellowship in 1952. He taught math in Ch estnut Street Junior High last year. Mr. Edgerton Moyle, a graduate of Yale Uni- versity, was a math instructor at the University of Connecticut for the past three years. He holds his classes in Cabin 101. Mr. James Curran and Mr. Russell Snow are Tech’s new science teachers. Mr. Curran, a gradu- ate of A.I.C., came from Vermont, where he had been teaching at Bellows Falls. Mr. Snow, a graduate of the University of Massachusetts, holds his classes in Cabin 309. For the past two years he taught in East Longmeadow. Mrs. Joan Kohn and Mr. Russell Peterson are the two additions to the Physical Education De- partment. Mrs. Kohn is a graduate of Sargent College in Boston. Mr. Peterson, a graduate of Springfield College, led our football team through a very successful year. Before coming to Tech he coached at Boston University, A.I.C., and was in charge of the Physical Education program in the Arling- ton, Mass. public schools. The addition of these new officers assured us of excellent navigation. RETIRING TEACHERS MR. RAYMOND E. MACKENZIE MR. GEORGE L. REYNOLDS TOUR OF DUTY COMPLETED This year Mr. Raymond E. Mackenzie brought to a close a long and successful tour of duty aboard the U.S.S. Technical. His retirement marks the completion of thirty-five years of teaching at Tech in the Engineering Drawing Department. In addition Mr. Mackenzie graduated from Tech and his daughter attended this school. Mr. Mackenzie was always an ardent sports participant and fan. While a student here he was a member of the rowing crew and the track team. He coached the crew later, during the years that this sport was active. He was and is a top flight bowler. A hearty salute to Mr. Mackenzie on a job well one. Mr. George L. Reynolds terminated his tour of duty this year aboard the U.S.S. Technical by resignation. He came to Tech in 1942 from Agawam High School, where he had been teaching for six years. Mr. Reynolds established himself here as a valuable member of the Shop department proving to be expert in his field, and one whom students and teachers admired. We at Tech are being educated to take our place in world society. It is important that we know not only our own country, but also how the rest of the world lives. A good knowledge of a country’s language leads to a better understanding of its problems. Weare given a chance to learn French, Spanish, and German. The interest in these subjects is evidenced by the enrollment in the courses: French 290, Spanish 152, and German 49. U.S.S. Technical is bound to sail its graduates into distant fields with the ever-increasing demands for our students to serve their country. The seniors, our lieutenants, should learn their lessons well from the learned commanders, our teachers, Miss McCarthy, Miss Jaede, Mr. Wilkie, and Mr. Newhall. These officers try to introduce this Standing, left to right: George Lewenczuk, Danell Lund. Seated, back row: Lawrence Ratte, Bonnie Beckwith, Dave Salmond.

FOREIGN LANGUAGES SENIORS TIME © Start ( Thinking About Nov 6, world aspect into our subjects by their varied knowledge and experience in foreign ports. At Tech, we are privileged to use recording machines by which we can hear ourselves and profit by our mistakes. Foreign records test our understanding of the subject and are very enter- taining. One topic of present interest is world govern- ment as in the United Nations. One can see how all-important a working knowledge of Modern Languages is to the success or failure of such a worthy organization as this. Many fine jobs are to be had as interpreters for good scholars. We have certainly benefited from our exper- ience and association with our teachers and want to thank them for their help and guidance.

Standing: Mr. Holley, Mrs. Tabackman, Miss Shea, Miss Carey, Mrs. Brazeau, Mr. Bomberger, Miss Hilliker, Mr. Can- don, Miss Whalen, Mr. Bowler, Miss Hawkins, Mr. Zanner, Mr. Black. To some, English is a formidable obstacle in the course of educational progress on our training ship, but due to the skillful piloting of our English Department, we are able to make-port safely. English grammar and various forms of composi- tion and literature seem to descend like a fog upon us. One saving element in all our floundering is the beaming harbor light, our wonderful school library. Here we are, free to browse, resting from the tossing tides of precis writing which threaten to capsize our ship. Mrs. Brazeau, or as we all know her, “Mrs. B’’, by her warm-heartedness, makes this port a haven for us all. We have been so lucky to have such person- alities as Miss Carey, Miss Hilliker, Miss Adams, Mrs. Tabackman, Miss Whalen, Miss Hawkins, Mr. Holley, Mr. Candon, and Mr. Black, who Left to right: Ed Herrin, Mrs. Brazeau. have made English not a chore, but a pleasure. They gave us the foundation to sail in many directions: to college, service, jobs. Helping to steer Our course are four new navigators: Miss Shea, Mr. Bowler, Mr. Bomberger, and Mr. Zahner, who have already entered into the whirl- pool of Tech activities. In future years we may find in the hghts of Broadway and as authors of numerous best sellers, names of Tech students who no doubt had their small beginnings under the guidance of our teachers. We will also find the great business executives who learned early here that spelling and a varied vocabulary took an important part in stepping up the business ladder to success. Tech students are grateful for their training in communication on the U. S. S. Technical. First row, left to right: Joan York, Barbara LaCroix, Claudette Francis, Bob Bourbeau.

Maybe the boy who sat in back of you will become a nuclear physicist or the girl who sat two rows away from you will become an archeologist. Each one, if he succeeds in his particular field, will be thankful for the great help that he was given by Tech’s talented teachers of science. Science covers a wide variety of fields and our faculty is very capable in handling them. Miss Potter and Miss Jefferson are very competent in teaching biology, the science that deals with living things. Miss Potter is a lover of birds and plants and is very active in the Allen Bird Club. Miss Jefferson specializes in hygiene, which she also teaches. The science dealing with the nature and composition of all kinds of matter and the changes which matter constantly undergoes, chemistry, is taught by Mr. Brooks, Mr. Northrup, Mr. Reid, and Mr. Romano. They are, as are all teachers, constantly on the lookout for easier and better methods of helping us more fully to understand this complicated and exact science. Mr. Brooks is a co-author of science textbooks. Physics and the advanced portion of the same, with its intricate study and practical application of mechanics, heat, light, sound, and electricity, is taught by Mr. Snow, Mr. MacMahon, Mr. Case, Seated, left to right: Miss Potter, Mr. Allan, Mr. Brooks, Miss Jefferson. Standing: Mr. Case, Mr. Reid, Mr. Romano, Mr. Curran, Mr. Snow, Mr. McMahon, Mr. Northrup. SCIENCE and Mr. Allen. As soon as you enter the physics classroom, you are engrossed in the world of many experiments of various types such as the buoyancy of a block of wood or the effect of work done by a set of pulleys. Our physics teachers are always giving outside help to those students who are willing to ask for it and who have a more than average interest in their subiect. Science Survey is a more generalized study of science. It is taught by Mr. Allan, Mr. Curran, Mr. MacMahon, and Mr. Snow, and its aim is to teach the various fundamentals to those students who do not plan to go to a higher institute of learning. Mr. Curran teaches physiology, which is the study of the normal functions of plants and animals during life, and of the activities by which life is maintained and transmitted. It covers such vital topics as digestion and the nervous system. If you happened to drop in on one of his classes in action, you might hear a student naming the bones of the body in an uncertain tone of voice. The last of the science departments, meteor- ology, is taught by Mr. Romano. Meteorology is the study of the atmosphere and of the changes of weather. 13 Left to right: Tom Schlesinger, Nelson Pease.

Standing: Mr. Bushey, Mr. Andrews, Mr. Butler, Mr. Best, Mr. Johnson. Tech’s Mathematics Department has one of the most extensive courses of all technical high schools in the country. This widely varied course in mathematics is taught by such capable and experienced navigators as Mr. Woodworth, 107, Mr. Chase, 207, Miss Allen, 214, Mr. Best, 213, Mr. Sprague, 118, Dr. Theinert, 104, Mr. An- drewes, 103, Mr. Bushey, 102, Mr. Butler, 116, Mr. Hewitt, 220, Mr. Jackowski, 108, Miss Kelley, 228, and Mr. Moyle, 101. Let us look at the subjects we can take during our three years at Tech. You may take the college preparatory, technical, or general course; but whichever one you choose, it will be of assist- ance to you in later years. The college preparatory course trains students for study after high school. This course requires that freshmen take Geometry 10C if they have already acquired Algebra 10C in Junior High School. Juniors are required to take Algebra 11C and Geometry 10C, if they did not have it in the Left to right: John Gavin, Robert Allan, Raymond Spears, freshman year. Seniors take Trigonometry 126 Mr. Woodworth, Emily Huber, Donald Learned. and Solid Geometry as a combined subject for one year, or they may take Review Math 12C, or Advanced Math, which includes Calculus and Analytic Geometry. Now, let’s take a glimpse of the Technical course. Freshmen take Algebra 10T, or Geometry 10T; but if they take Algebra 10T, for instance, and have not had Geometry, they are required to take Geometry 10T in their Junior year along with Algebra 11T. Then, in the Senior year, students may take Trigonometry 12T, Shop Math, Review Math 12T, Navigation, or Strength of Materials. General students are required to take only Math 10G in the Freshmen year and Math 12G in their Senior year. No requirements are made for these students in their Junior year. 14 pax 2 he The Yee hebae 8 rh a oe avaes V Q@2Z—-€ 7wO Left to right: Mr. Biscaldi, Mr. Connolly, Mr. Duffin, Mr. Bushey. The Mechanical Drawing Department of Tech has helped many pupils to sail to engineering colleges by smoothing out their present voyage at Technical High School. What do they mean by this statement, you may ask. Our answer is that with such expert and well qualified navigators as Mr. Biscaldi, 317, and Mr. Duffin, 316, you cannot say that you haven’t learned something from their well-planned pro- grams. A plan of study for the seaman or freshman consists of views, lines, technical‘ and isometric drawings, dimensions, fastenors, and machine processes. The ensigns are taught advanced projection, pictorial, sectional, detailed, and mech- anized drawings. The lieutenants can take a course in advanced mechanized and production drawings or in architectural drawing. Mr. Bushey, 102, another seasoned navigator, teaches Archi- tectural Drawing, which has to do mostly with the blueprinting of houses and buildings. Mech- anized drawings dea l with drawings of gears and linkages, while drawings for production deal with operation, detail, change-over, and tool drawings. Many students who have completed three years of drawing at Tech are having smooth sailing in college. Tech is known throughout the country for its Mechanical Drawing Department. Besides just teaching classes, most of the drawing teachers do such outside work as blue- printing. Plans come into the school to be blue- printed, and with the help of the teachers many students copy, dimension, and blueprint them. There are a few blueprinting machines here at school, which are used to make copies of the blueprints. These machines only copy the blue- prints and do not enlarge or contract as some machines do. In all, Tech graduates have smooth sailing ahead after taking this extensive course for three years. 15 Left to right: Evangelo Demetriou, Don Dion, Tom Paige, Bill Kelleher, Jim Pagnoni, Bruce Spongberg, Richard Kanjian.

Seated: Social Studies is a great help to us on our journey around the world. In Social Studies we keep abreast of the present-day news by the coverage of the important happenings in the national and international fields. By being aware of the current news we will know what to expect at the different ports at which the U.S.S. Technical stops. The department of Social Studies consists of four subjects. These subjects include Social Studies for freshmen, United States History for juniors, and Economics and Modern History for seniors. Freshmen beginning their voyage through Tech on the U.S.S. Technical have Social Studies. This subject not only teaches them how to get along at Tech but it also teaches them how to get Left to right: Pat Dennis, Dave Lyons, Judy Smart. Miss Grady. along in their own communities and to be good citizens. Juniors, who are now accustomed to the life on the U. S. S. Technical, have United States History. Here they learn about the interesting early formation of our republic and its development up to the present day. Seniors, who are well seasoned sailors, may select two subjects which are included in the Social Studies department. One of them is Economics, which is the study of business and commerce. The other subject is Modern Histo- ry, which is very helpful to us on our journey. In this class seniors receive information about Euro- pean countries. With this information they are better able to understand the customs of the countries at which the U.S.S. Technical stops. Certainly our voyage would be incomplete without the help of Social Studies.

Within a few years of high school graduation, most of our Tech girls need to know how to run ahome. With this fact in mind, Home Economics is planned to help these girls run efficient homes. Home Economics includes cooking, sewing, pattern drafting, and home management. In cooking the girls learn the art of preparing food for family consumption. By taking this course they discover how to make a meal look inviting as well as taste appetizing and be nourish- ing. This, is an art in itself. Cooking may be taken during any of the three years at Tech. Sewing not only teaches the girls to make their own clothes but also teaches them how to sew for other members of the family. The girls learn to make children’s clothes, and if they Leftto right: Janet Muir, Jan Rowley, Sandra Cheney. choose to, they can get practice in making men’s sports clothes. These skills may prove very valuable to Tech girls when they become home- makers. Sewing also may be taken during any of the three years at Tech. Pattern drafting is for seniors. In this class the girls learn the art of making their own patterns and directions, and of following them. Home management, for seniors, presents the picture of home life with all its problems. It takes up the problems of family shopping, balancing the budget, and child discipline, which are very important in making a home. With this wonderful background Tech girls are prepared for their future homelife.

MI Wy Design is the basic course for those students who haven’t taken art before. The students study color harmony and create modernistic designs of their own choice. In addition to designing our programs for Tech Tantrums, Tech Turns To Music, the Fashion Show, and other special events, they made corsages, stencil materials, and block print Christmas cards. The students express their ideas in the form of art in the freehand drawing classes taught by Miss Norrgard and Miss Roy. Among the media used are pencil, crayon, water color, and drawing ink. The subjects are what the students choose and what interests them. The students listen to all types of music, read poetry and prose, and then interpret their ideas into freehand drawings. These students designed the scenery for Tantrums and other special programs. Left row, back to front: Eileen Therrien, Barbara Little, Carol Cirillo, Vivian Ellerin. Middle row: Frances Griffith.

The beautiful posters that we saw around the building announcing activities and special events were made by the Poster Class. They also designed all the signs for the Black Cat Fiesta. The Craft Class worked out as a project something usable in addition to making tray favors for the Shriners’ Hospital at Christmas. The Costume Designing Class studied differ- ent types of material and historic costumes. They designed and made plans for their own wedding or a large one of their choice. The Interior Decorating Class designed a living room of their own choice first in cardboard paper, working up to a finished product of balsa wood in three dimensions. Everything from the eee to the upholstered furniture is made to scale.

Technical is fortunate in having among its three musical aggregations the largest band that we have had in the last ten years. In addition to furnishing music for all our games including the Basketball Jamboree, the band was heard at Tech Turns To Music, P.T.A. Music Night, Armistice Day Parade, Memorial Day Parade, Red Feather Parade, and in the spring they journeyed to Pittsfield for the Western Massachusetts Music Festival. The Swingsters, selected from the band, played a return engage- ment at South Hadley High School and in Tech Tantrums. Our twenty-four piece orchestra, formed three years ago, was featured in Tech Turns To Music. For pleasant relaxation we had our choice of four singing groups. The Chorale consists of sixty mixed voices selected personally by Mr. GIRLS’ CHORUS MUSIC m7) | Ny, Z 7 Crabtree. They participated in the P.T.A. Music Night, Tech Turns, Memorial Day, and Easter assemblies. The Choralette, a group of eighteen mixed students, is designated to do special pro- grams. Among their activities they sang at Tech Turns, P.T.A. Music Night, carol service at St. Barnabas Church, carol sing at Court Square, Federation of Women’s Clubs, Holy Week Ser- vices, and Graduation Exercises. The Boys’ Chorus, which is made up of forty boys, is taught by a newcomer, Mrs. Grogan, who came from Cortland State Teachers’ College. The Girls’ Chorus has eighty members, the majority of which are freshmen. Both groups sang at Tech Turns and Graduation. Under the able leadership of Lee ‘Mr. Music”’ Crabtree, Tech has reason to be proud of its musical organizations! BOYSZOHORUS Left to right: Mr. Winslow, Mr. Loiko, Mr. Hansen.

Technical’s woodworking course is under the instruction of three capable officers: Walter Hansen. John Loiko and Charles Winslow. The outside interests of these likeable person- alities vary from hunting and fishing to home workshops. Degrees such as Bachelor of Science and Master of Education are among their many accomplishments. These men are not only fair, competent, and unforgetable individuals, but a credit to the U.S.S. Technical and their profession. Our woodworking course can be subdivided into regular wood shop, advanced wood shop, and pattern making shop. Preliminary instruction in regular wood shop consists of the teaching of setting up a lathe, turning a rough piece of stock to specific dimen- sions, beading, working toward accuracy, and using safety measures. Evaluation of wood a nd other pertinent skills are acquired throughout the course. Use of power tools increases a novice’s rate of productivity. Inlaid bowls, lamps, and WOOD SHOP Joseph Pelletier small furniture are consistent products of regular wood shop. An advanced course is offered to the more interested students. With the advantages of more tools and great common interest, a student can make really beautiful objects. Many graduates have qualified as industrious members of the wood- working trade. Pattern making is another instructive and interesting training course offered by the U.S.S. Technical. A basic knowledge of the types of wood patterns is the first thing to be understood in pattern making. Students later learn to understand the functions of wood patterns in metal casting. Then, they, being oriented, start actual shop practice. Each student is usually required to make a wood pattern for an end wrench. The wood shops of the U.S.S. Technical not only help students acquire perseverance but also give them an opportunity to materialize their ideas. From the innards of U.S.S. Technical echo forth the hums of many machines. The objective of this cruise is partially the training of swabbies for the rank of machinist mate. Automotive and print shop are also components of our manual training course. Novice machinists first learn the make-up and safe operation of machines. With the basic fundamentals in their grasp, they start the first and required project which is usually a screwdriver. Advanced projects are tap wrenches, drills, clamps, and gears. Outstanding proficiency in machine operation gives crewmen the oppor- ey to elect automotive training at a higher rank. U.S.S. Technical’s printing course gives us service in return. Report cards, permanent records, and programs for various school functions are printed in our shops. After swabbies have learned the cases of type and mastered the fundamentals of printing press operation, they may start individual projects. At our destination we may find many graduates going into the MACHINE SHOP Left to right: Henry Hollis, Philip Gelinas. printing trade. Automotive training is one of the most wanted courses on board. Its students are in- tensely interested in the subject. This common element creates a busy and productive shop. The classes are small and each apprentice can receive individual attention. Orientation to the subject includes teaching of the basic fundamentals and an introduction to new machines and testing de- vices. A well-adjusted and intensely interested novice rapidly progresses to the extent of being able to take an engine apart and to reassemble it. Trainees in these courses are under the guidance of Paul Henry, Howard Reed, George Reynolds, and John Robinson.

EDUCATION GIRLS ee A well-rounded athletic program is furnished by Navigators Mary Gray and Joan Kohn, who, with the help of specially trained student squad leaders, guide our Tech girls in their favorite sports. Such sports as basketball, volley ball, apparatus, and stunts are played indoors; other- wise, field hockey and softball are played outside at the Armory on nicer days. All girls on the U.S.S Technical are strong boosters for this recreation-centered program. Left to right: Mrs. Kohn, Miss Gray.

Miss Shea, who has her Bachelor of Science and Master of Education Degrees, is our regular typing teacher. She has had secretarial experience at Perkins Machine and Gear Company and has taught typing at Evening Adult School at Com- merce. In the first months of the school semester, Mrs. Murphy substituted. She has taught night and day school at Commerce, and she has been in Springfield for five years. Both Miss Shea and Mrs. Murphy willingly help their students understand how to apply typing to school, business, and everyday life. One of Tech’s Typing Classes in action.

DRIVER’S EDUCATION Both junior boys and girls have their gym periods interrupted for about four weeks to take a pre-drivers’ course. T he Physical Education teachers provide the instructions. After completing the pre-driver course by passing a written examination, the pupils are ready for training in the operation of a motor vehicle in their senior year. Chief Walmer is one of the driving instructors for Springfield schools. When the students have become accustomed to the car, an official state examiner comes to the school. If the students have passed their written examination, the road test is given. Left to right: Chief Walmer, Pat Fiske, Ann Leavenworth, Joan Riendeau, Teresa Raffaele.

The women on the staff are: Birdie Aiken, Nellie Connors, and Mary Feriola. The men are: Dominick Bianchi, Vernoll Bigelow, David Duncan, William LaVallee, James Crowley, Gerald McCarthy, Thomas O’Connor, Carl Persson, and Francis Sears. Some of the best years of our lives are spent at Tech, and we are grateful to the people who keep it a pleasant place. Unlike a navy ship, our galley crew is ‘““manned”’ by women. Mrs. Elin Tillan is head cook of the dietitic staff. The other members of the mess crew are: Mrs. Ida Bolduc, Mrs. Goldie Deyo, Mrs Mildred Hannigan, Mrs. Mary Lura, Mrs. Hilda McCombe and Mrs. Josephine Saracino. The people who keep the records straight are a necessary part of the mess department. The office crew are: Mrs. Lena Cessarini, Mrs. Mabel Davis, Miss Lillian O’Connor, Mrs. Isabella Ouimet and Mrs. Alice Vail. All of these people work toward making Tech’s lunches the best possible for us.

Wallace Streeter, Jr. of 44 Brookside Dr., Longmeadow. Since August, 1949, he has been confined to his home as a result of an accident. While at Tech George attended Model Congress, served on dance committees, and was a member of the S.A. As freshman class president, council president, and patrol captain he displayed excep- tional qualities of leadership and _ citizenship which, combined with his high scholastic record and personal integrity, earned for him the Harvard Book Award and the title of ‘“‘All Around Boy.”’ So well liked was he by students and teachers that permission was granted Tech to buy for him 81 a TV set, a real novelty at that time. In a jam- packed auditorium, faculty and homeroom repre- sentatives brought forward money which they had collected, considerably more than the $300 goal. Soon after, a set with a rotor was purchased and presented at the Streeter home. George has maintained a close interest in Tech activities through his Tech friends, Tech News, and the local newspapers. He was able to attend the last two Tech Tantrums. This year George has patiently and efficiently completed his high school studies under the tutelage of several Tech teachers, thus entitling him to receive a Tech diploma. We, members of the senior class, salute you, George Streeter, on this great accomplishment and are pleased to have you as a class member. SENIOR LOG Up anchor! The Senior class was on its way at the first command! With the enthusiasm which has characterized this class, plans soon started for the informal dance, “Big-Top Hop.’ The circus theme made the first dance of the year a night of fun. Victory, a week later, in the annual “hot” c ontest, the Tech-Cathedral football game, made this a proud year for our training ship. With a great fall behind them, Dave Wilson, president; Roy Billings, vice-president; Barbara Dickey, secretary; and Ethyl Hall, treasurer, turned toward a promising winter. The new year brought us face to face with College Boards, but the semiformal, ‘“‘Cinderella Ball,’’ came along to put us back on the wave’s crest. The Seniors lived in a wonderland for an enchanted evening. Next came the banquet at the Highland Hotel with the amiable Bob Klein officiating; this event on our voyage was chalked up as a success. Springtime brought the class will and prophecy, clever and refreshing. The class gift and ‘class ballot were long awaited surprises, honored Tech traditions. The final awards assemblies marked the climax of three years’ work by honoring the achievements of class members. Class Day, always a favorite in the Senior traditions, brought to an end our stay aboard ship. The Prom centered around the sparkling crystal ball of the future. This event, the last we planned at Tech, was the outstanding dance of three years of successful dances. The graduation ceremony topped impressively a perfect high school career. Thanks to Tech from the Seniors for a wonderful part of our lives. Thanks especially to our ad- visors, Miss Kelley, Mr. Loiko, Miss Borrner, and Mr. Curran, most of whom have been with us for three years, for the work they did to make our stay in Tech the happy time it was.

JUNIOR LOG Left to right: Celeste Adams, vice-president; Michael Visconti, president; Debby Schimmel, secretary; Thomas Laurino, treasurer; Miss Grady, adviser. The officers of the junior class, Michael Vis- conti, president; Celeste Adams, vice president; Deborah Schimmel, secretary; and Tom Laurino, treasurer, got the year off to a good start at the first class meeting, which was held in October. The dance in November, ‘“‘Junior Showboat,”’ proved to be a great success under the general chairmanship of Deborah Schimmel and Ted Kolano. With the aid of the class advisors the class of ‘‘55’’ really sailed smoothly. They are as follows: Miss Ruth Grady, Miss Muriel Jefferson, Mr. Perry Best, class auditor, Mr. Weyland Holly, and Mr. Patrick Romano. The seaworthiness of the junior class has been shown throughout the year. It has led Tech on the Honor Roll and was well up at the top in S.A. membership. In January the class colors, green and white, were chosen. In April came the grand finale of the year, the Junior Prom, which was one of the most beautiful and successful dances in the history of Tech. Next year Technical High School will be able to boast of one of the finest senior classes it has ever had. The class of “‘55’’ will continue bringing pride to Tech many years after its graduation as others before it have. 90 Left to right ‘ ‘Showboat”’ Dance Committee: Debby Schim- mel, Colleen Meade, Bruce Crowninshield.

Who do you think is going to win? These questions were on all the lips of those students belonging to the fresh- man class as this was November, their election month. An assembly was held for the purpose of instructing the students on election procedure and qualifications for those interested in running for an office. Nomination papers were secured and soon everyone was busy signing his name. Then the students assembled to hear the speeches of hopeful candidates for president and were introduced to the other students trying for the various offices. Now the election was in full swing! Posters with clever campaign slogans gaily decorated the halls. Finally the voting day arrived and the freshman voted for his favorite candidates. Until all the ballots were counted; everything was hush, hush. This class certainly made an excellent choice when they chose Stuart Langton, president; David Salmond, vice-president; Nancy Murray, secre- Math class at work. tary; and Katherine Wood, treasurer. The first duty that the freshman class had to perform was to draft a constitution which is necessary to keep law and order in any organiza- tion. Under the direction of Miss Friedman, a constitution committee was formed and the con- stitution developed. This was then presented to the student body, which, after revision and correc- tion, was adopted. In order to acquaint the students with their class, an assembly was held. The advisors told the students that they should feel free to come to them at anytime for advice and help in any of their problems. This year their advisors were Miss Hilliker, Miss Friedman, Mr. Hansen, Mr. Henry and Mr. Andrewes, auditor. Last, but not least, came the long awaited fresh- man dance with all its excitement. It was held in May and was a tremendous success for the class of BO. Left to right: Joe Corsi, Joe Breda. 101 Left to right: Mr. Andrews, Miss Friedman, Mr. Hansen, Mr. Henry, Miss Hilliker.

The cast consisted of 200, but others worked as usherettes, stage crew, patrol, makeup, accompianists, and costumers. The theme was a hypothetical ‘‘Life’’ coverage of the “‘best’’ high school. The show revealed everything from classroom life to the romantic side. Lloyd Lempke, as the ‘Captain of Champions,”’ provided the sports cover.

Mr. Newhall, portraying the typical “Tech Teacher,” furnished the cover for the faculty act. The romance cover portrayed Dave Wilson and Gayle Wanegar as ““The Boy and The Girl.” Adding to this fine entertainment were the ever-popular ‘‘Tech Swingsters.”’ Tantrums, as usual, was a smash hit and a sell out. : : | : Left to right: Patty Wessells, Donna Purrington, Joe Derby, Ginny Chisholm.

First let’s introduce the crew. Ever-busy Cynthia Cannon, Editor-in- Chief, directed the staff in co-operation with our competent advisor, Mr. Sidney V. Doane. Mr. Doane, who was new as advisor this year, helped us all to strive for perfection. Difficulties were easily overcome by Judy St. Lawrence, our Senior Picture Editor, and Bill Ouimet, our Sports Editor. Marion Mears assisted Cynthia with the Senior Biographies, and Pat Aldrich aided Judy with the Senior Pictures. Of great value to the staff was Cliff Johnson who did ennumerable tasks besides his job as Club Editor.

The work involves drawing, layouts, composing dummies, writing copy, collecting and sorting biographies, assigning picture appointments and interviewing teachers and students. Thanks must be given to Miss Roy, art advisor, and to Pat Hanson and Joan Riendeau, who have contributed the art work to the book. Credit should also be given to Mr. Butler and the fine business staff who help to defray the expenses of the book. Composing your yearbook has been a wonderful experience for those of us on the staff and we sin- cerely hope that everyone will get the pleasure from it that we have had in producing it.

Because of the extra work put in by the Editor, Leon Charkoudian, Associate Editors, Barbara Dickey and Janet Andrews, Advisor, Mr. Black, and the staff of the Tech News, a welcoming edi- tion of the paper was ready for the students on the first day of school and also on the first day after Christmas vacation. This was the second year in which the News staff has willingly given up their time in this way for our pleasure. This year the Tech News staff has published the paper bi-weekly and still kept within the budget. This has been accomplished by using a different type of newsprint and by cutting the size of the paper slightly. The ‘Letters to the Editor’ column was another new feature of the paper this year.

This room is well equipped with layout tables, typewriters, desks, files, and working space. A board system by which any piece of copy can be located is highly valued by the staff. Outside the Tech News room are bulletin boards maintained by Grace Cortis, Pauline Audet, and Eleanor Cote. On these boards may be found the clippings concerning Tech which have appeared in the newspapers. Thus, the Tech News keeps us up to date on Tech’s activities, students, and alumni. Those on the staff who are preparing for a career in journal- ism, together with those who will go on to other fields, feel that they acquire invaluable experience, knowledge, and training by working on our school newspaper.

TECH TURNS Music speaks for everyone and is the birthright of all of us. In a sense it is pure poetry understand- able to everyone. Teamwork plays an important part in making a show like Tech Turns a success. The interest of the group becomes everybody’s job. Through disciplinary experience of learning, interpreting, and performing a composition together, students gain personal growth and self-fulfillment. This year’s Tech Turns to Music show appealed to every type of listener. The entire program consisted of a variety of musical scores including serious, religious, popular, and novelty numbers. Featured numbers, groups, and soloists were: Band — Overture “The Spirit of Youth” Girls’ Chorus The Kingfisher — Roff Twilight Song — Osborne Cello obligetto by Arthur Lessing Lacrymosa — Mozart All in the Golden Afternoon — Fain Viola Solo — Michael Derose Flute and Oboe Duet — Gayle Wanegar, Joan Sai String Quartet — Colleen Meade, Gorden Bloom- Tech Band Left to right, seated: Carolyn Sampson, Colleen Meade, Gayle Wanegar, Debby Schimmel.

A [EXPAN BELL SYSeEM TW WET WORKS of a, Telephone Company Explains Television The tedium of our life on shipboard has been broken by various, much appreciated assemblies, though not as many as we would have liked. In touching the high- lights of this year’s assemblies, we started off with a bang in Mr. Hannigan’s skit to push the Student Association membership drive. This was based on the popular “Dragnet”? theme, much to our delight, and starred Bob Klein and Paul Skowera in the title roles. Then came an assembly sponsered by the American Junior Red Cross, featuring foreign students from Springfield College who gave dances and songs of their native countries. As a climax to our football season, after our Tigers’ triumph over the Cathedral Panthers, a victory rally was held in our banner-decked assembly hall. It was at this assembly that Coach Russ Peterson was surprised by the presentation of the “Coach of the Year’? award from our Tiger football team. The whole crew of the U. S. S. Technical was inspired by the assembly ‘‘For Christ is Born of Mary” held just before the Christmas holidays. Since then we have had sports awards assemblies S. A.

The Girls’ Athletic Association held an awards assem- bly for its outstanding athletic members, awarding letters and G. A. A. pins. The debut of the Boys’ Chorus under the direction of Miss Grogan, along with the band playing their version of a melodrama, was enjoyed by all aboard ship. Last, but not Jeast, were the Senior and Academic Awards assemblies. In these presentations, scholarship and achievement were recognized in suitable ways. Among the awards, honors, and scholarships (twenty- two in all) were those in the fields of chemistry, science, American History, English, foods, and shop; those for sportsmanship and citizenship; those given by Pro Merito Society, Student Association, Student Council, Student Patrol, and Tech Band; awards from the D. A. R., Readers’ Digest, and the Springfield Writers’ Club; awards in pattern-making and machine shop practice; the Three Year Honor awards, and the Warner Achieve- ment medals.

Life on board our ship is far from monotonous, thanks to the variety of activities offered us. The S.A. fund, sponsor of the activities, has to be guarded carefully to permit Tech’s trainees to have all the fun in store for them. In the capacity of guard, the S.A. Board con- sists of student representatives from each of the sponsored activities, activity advisors, and the three class presidents. Mr. Gifford is the chairman of the board, with Mr. Hewitt holding the purse- strings, and Cynthia Cannon keeping the minutes of the meeting. From each activity represented, the board re- ceives a statement of the money needed and why. The S.A. Board then analyzes, improves, and approves the budgets and the activity is sponsored and ready to go. +a Zmocuaw -r-Owds? v 116 Sixth row: Dave Wilson, Mr. Jackson, Mr. Bushey. Wherever large groups congregate, a system of order is necessary. The navy has its shore patrol and Tech, its Student Patrol to keep order around the training ship. Mr. Jackson and Mr. Lynch have worked hard to set high standards for the Patrol, standards to which the members readily conform. Heading Tech’s organization is Chief Leonard Perry, who is assisted by four captains, eleven lieutenants, and about forty-five regular patrolmen. In addition each period finds a corridor patrol of ten on duty to enforce regulations. Especially hard working are Captain Jacques and Lieutenants Charkoudian and Bauerfeind, who have charge of the special assignments. These three are responsible for the Patrol at school func- tions.

Tech’s commissary, the Tech Store, is swamped with requests for supplies. Although recruits fill the small space allotted the store, the Student Council members in charge brave the crowd and satisfy everyone. A Student Council project, the store is kept by Alton Crandall, Dave Wilson, Celeste Adams, Barbara Dickey, Debby Shimmel, and Jerry Hel- lerman, with the help of many able and willing hands. In charge of bus ticket sales are Gayle Wanegar, Diane de Lys, Sally Marsh, Catherine Ten Broeck, and Mary Ann Fravesi. These hard workers spend their free time from 8:00 to 8:25 at the store so students may equip themselves for their tours of duty. Thanks, mates, for your swell work. At the helm of student activity at Tech this year were the top-notch group of students you chose to represent you. The students who form the Student Council are twenty-one in number, seven from each class. With Miss Reardon in an ad- visory capacity, President James Donovan con- ducted the meetings. Leon Charkoudian took over when Jim was out, while Barbara Dickey recorded the minutes of the meeting and Debby Schimmel handled correspondence. The Council is split into five committees: Legis- lative, Activity, Store, Publicity, and Properties. Thus the students are divided better to accom- plish the Council work. The new football pro- grams and the booth at the Black Cat Fiesta were special projects, as the class elections and Good Government Day were special responsibilities.

Buggy boys were Tommy Elliot, Edward McGrady, Walter Misterke, Edward Sergel, William Askew, Robert Ellis, John Kurtz, Thomas Morace, and John Vennard. Peter Flahive and Gardiner Yeomans were dishwashers. Lillian O’Connor supervised these workers. Is there anyone who hasn’t admired the many diverse and eye- catching stage settings in our annual shows? Tantrums is the big project of one of the busiest crews at Tech, the stage crew. But that isn’t their only work of art. They turn their versatile hands to the sound and lighting at those Tech dances you attend, the Tech Turns settings, the sound for the assemblies, and sundry odd jobs around the school. The members of this busy crew, guided by ex- pert hands of Mr. Charles Winslow, are: William Anathes, Robert Bates, Joseph Berenkrantz, Roger Chenevert, Lois Church, Patricia Hanson, Jerry Hellerman, Dick Kratovil, Paul Lucas, Nancy Lud- den, Don MacGregory, Ronald Premo, and Marcella Mitchell. 11 8 STAGE CREW Left to right, standing: Marcella Mitchell, Lois Church, Nancy Lud- den, Dick Kratovil, Joe Berenkrantz, Paul Lucas, Richard Stevens, Bill Anthes.

On our ship we have a group of chosen students who act as our couriers. These couriers must be very dependable, for without their help the office workers’ jobs would be more difficult. The couriers’ duties include delivering messages, filing various papers, and post- ing. In addition to these duties, they are the U.S.S. Technical’s inside switch board. These couriers are of three groups. One group consists of the students who work earning credits for graduation. The second group is paid by the hour for their work. The third group donates their time and energy for the betterment of the ship. The couriers realize the importance of their duties and they execute them faithfully. The U.S.S. Technical appreciates their efforts. 119 Left to right: Angelo Passidakis, Nurse Mary Holland.

NURSES AIDES Life on our training ship would not be complete without a few cases of seasick seamen. Yes, the sick bay is always buzzing with activity. To help Nurse Mary Holland and to give ex- perience to those girl students who wish the op- portunity of learning about nursing, the Nurse’s Aides was formed. The duties of an Aide are to run errands, make beds, know how to use first aid, keep the records in order, check temperatures, and make herself useful in many other ways. Jean Foster and Beverly Keyes, our two Aides, help our highly trained and capable Miss Holland in her duties. JR. RED CROSS It was a great year for the Red Cross Council. With such outstanding leadership as Richard Jacques, president; Marcella Mitchell, vice-presi- dent; Beverly Hathaway, secretary; Michael De- rose, treasurer; and with almost complete school support, we were able to raise more funds for the Red Cross than ever before in the history of Tech. The preceding year the Junior Red Cross gained enough money in the treasury to send a school chest to-Greece, and this year we gained enough to help the next class send one. Other members of the Council are Nelsie Young, Joseph Snyder, Joyce Ryan, Marilyn Goodrow, and Donald Field. PRO MERITO 120 PRO MERITO As on other training ships, we have our quota of hard working, intelligent crew members. Their accomplishments help to raise the standards of our ship into the very best class through their diligent efforts. The Pro Merito Society was organized to give the top students special recognition. This recog- nition includes such privileges as having a double set of books for homework and classwork, and the possibility of getting out on study periods on the last pericd of the day. Tech’s Pro Merito is one of the largest in the state so we should be very proud of it. On March first the Pro Merito Society of Tech met in the assembly hall to plan the induction of the Freshmen members and to vote for a president and a secretary-treasurer. The members voted in William Krupke as president and Karl Balland as secretary-treasurer. On March fifteenth the induction of the freshmen Pro Merito took place. Mr. Gifford, Mr. Chase, and William Krupke gave speeches and the freshmen were given their Pro Merito cards. The number of Pro Merito members from the senior class are seventy-nine: for the junior class, ninety-nine; and for the freshmen class, sixty-five. 121 RIFLE CLUB Back row, left to right: Ernest Moynahan, Richard Fernandez, Jon Goff, Michael Derose, Mr. Sprague, Bill Fredette, Bob MacLeod, Jeremy Boyce, Mike Reneris, Chris Tabb, Ron Yacavone.

Range practice for Tech is Thursday after- noon, at the Trade High Rifle Range. ‘“Two-Gun Sprague” and his twenty male and female sharp- shooters spend a noisy but worthwhile afternoon improving their skill in marksmanship. Mr. Sprague formed this club to encourage young men and women to learn more about small bore rifle shooting and to teach intelligent gun handling. Advisor Sprague says, ‘“‘With so many accidents occurring because of carelessness with firearms, I feel it worthwhile to instruct young people in the proper use of them.”’ Although ammunition was not free this year, the club’s weekly shooting drills were as profitable and well attended as ever. Techites who run the Rifle Club include Pat Hanson, president, Dick Jacques, vice-president, and Robert MacLeod, secretary.

One organization that serves all girls in the scho ol is the G.A.A. Each year it sponsors a wholesome program of athletics, recreational activities, and social events. An after-school program is set up so that all through the year the various sports are played. Participation in sports offered entitles a girl to a number of credits. These credits accumulate toward T.H.S. letters and a G.A.A. pin, given in assembly by G.A.A. officers. Social events sponsored by the organization include the only all-school dance, various parties, roller skating, hikes, etc. Included in the G.A.A. is a leaders’ club that prepares student leaders who not only learn to officiate, but learn how to assist the teachers in large classes by leading a small group of about Pi ec Under its revised constitution, Advisor Tom Candon, President Bob Klein, and other officers got the Tech Hi-Y off to a flying start. First meetings were attended enthusiastically by a co-operative group of juniors and seniors. Later in November, freshmen applicants were accepted. Tuesday meetings were divided into recreation- al, social, and formal periods, consisting of speakers, movies, discussions on teen-age, political, and col- lege prcblems. Sccial sessions included a dance, a hayride, a picnic, bowling and swimming. For the last two years, Hi-Y has conducted a popular and successful booth at the “Black Cat Fiesta.”’ Tech shares in such city and state-wide activities as the Youth and Government Day Assembly held each spring at City Hall. President of this year’s Assembly is our Bob Klein. NISHIMAHA PHYSICS Left to right: Nancy Wainwright, Kay Savos, Anita Boe- decker, Joyce Sullivan, Gail Sullivan, Martha Shylo. Springfield’s Nishimaha Club, under the advisorship of Mrs. Shirley Caisse and with Tech’s own Anita Boedecker as president, opened its program with an annual Recognition Service. Although Nishimaha is a city-wide organization, the majority of the members are from Tech. In order to strengthen interest and member- ship, the Club engages in seasonal money- raising activities such as the Halloween Dance, Christmas Semi-Formal, and the Mother-Daugh- ter Banquet. Proceeds are used to send members to summer conferences, on weekend picnics and trips, and to further an active correspondence with girls in other countries. For example, this year’s pro- ceeds will send girls to summer conferences at Lake George, Silver Bay, New York and will benefit a fellowship project with a Phillipine club. CLUBS A noteworthy group in the music department is the Tech Choralette. Besides being active in Tech Turns and Tantrums, it has been on the road from December to May. For three years the idea of making Choralette a class has been buzzing in the heads of Mr. C. and his singers. This year it finally came through. Students are selected on the basis of out- standing work done in other music classes or if they studied voice. Many have both qualifications. Classes are divided jnto the fundamentals of singing, accurate music reading, and program rehearsals. Besides singing for the Holy Week Service, Choralette made other appearances at St. Bar- nabas Episcopal Church, Old First Church, the Western Mass. Music Festival, together with caroling at the Court Square Nativity Scene. 123 Left to right: Physics Club, Mr. Case, advisor. Our 1954 Physics Club’s object was to permit students to pursue their scientific interests and develop skills and techniques in scientific problems. Their main job was to maintain and operate Tech’s amateur radio station WIGCR. Under the guidance of Mr. Manning Case, 15 boys tackled the problems of repairing, designing, and constructing physics and electronic equipment. _ The program included working on generators, radios, motors, advanced phases of electricity, and the maintenance of school equipment. Visits to industria] plants around Springfield furthered the interest and activity of the club. Bill Krupke lead the club for the second year supported by two freshmen, Vice-President John O’Brien and Secretary George Fillion.

To further acquaint the interested students in the most amazing and complex machine ever produced, the human body, Mr. James Curran, science teacher in 311, formed a Physiology Club. Every week, the club meets informally in 311, to chart the human body, to experiment on rats, or to dissect cats. Very often they travel to hospitals or college laboratories, observing the things that ordinarily couldn’t be seen in class, such as the operation of an electrocardiograph machine, or the taking of blood counts. In one local hospital they witnessed a basil metabolism test and slides showing actual operations. During the year the club made trips to surrounding hospital labs., A.I.C. Biology Lab- oratory, Springfield College, Harvard, University of Massachusetts, Amherst College, and the Western Massachusetts School of Pharmacy. Perhaps Tech’s most popular club is its Drama Club. After the presentation of the famous ‘‘Snagnet’”’ assembly, the club was forced to close its door to the crowds that wanted to join. During the year the 60 members, under the direction of C. R. Hannigan, improved their oral expression, developed poise, and acquired an appreciation of drama. Several members of the club wrote and prepared radio-T. V. scripts, most of which were based on holiday themes such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. Aside from its dramatic work, the club found time to have an October hayride and attend various other plays and parties. Student officers’ positions are dominated by the Junior class. They were President, Gerry Hellerman; Vice President, Sandra Anchutz; Nelsie Young, Secretary; and Mike Visconti, Treasurer.

FOOTBALL 53-54 Full speed ahead! That was the roar coming from the U.S.S. Technical. Completely overhauled and sailing with a new skipper, Russ Peterson, Tech proved that they are once again set to step in as a perennial Western Massachusetts football power. Showing more spirit than a Tech team has had in a long time, the Tigers sailed off with the City Championship. The U.S.S. Technical’s voyage started with great danger as the ship made its maiden voyage to meet the storm of a Pittsfield High line. The Bob Chase breaking loose against Trade. Tom Quinn (80) 1s coming up in the background. ship was saved in the last four minutes by a 7-7 score thanks to Chet Boulris. Thus, Russ Peter- son’s debut was made half successful anyway. Then they sailed over Trade, 12—6. On to Gard- ner where our ship met a hard-hitting storm to upset us 21-0. With undampened spirit, they sailed over West Springfield High, sparked by the efforts of Boulris and John Griffin, for a 7-0 upset. The schedule then gave us a trip to Turners Falls and a 24-7 win. Then on to, and right by, Holyoke with a 13-6 victory for Tech Next port was Westfield where the Favored Bombers jumped to a quick lead and stayed ahead until a Boulris to Griffin pass with 22 seconds to play gave Tech a 26-24 win. Next Classical fell 21-0. Boulris stopped after short gain against Trade. Other Tech players: Tenczar (77), Chase (14), Quinn (80), Lemke (97), Griffin (35), Munsell (33). New coach Russ Peterson (center) being greeted by Tech coaches Mr. McMahon, Mr. Lawler, Mr. Peterson, Mr. Kalloch, Mr. Orcutt. Then the final leg of our journey seemed to be the most dangerous, but, after the leg was started, Peterson’s eleven found it easier than expected, and surged ahead to drown their arch-rival Cathe- dral in a decisive 31—13 victory. This season, the best Tech has had since 1941, was piloted by Russ Peterson. In his first year Russ had 7 wins, a loss, and a tie, but he refuses to take any credit for Tech’s success. Nothing more needs to be said about the kind of person he is, than to quote him after one of the Tiger’s vic- tories. ‘‘The credit,’’ he said, ‘“‘goes to the boys for their spirit and incentive, and to the coaching staff, faculty, and student body, for their whole- hearted cooperation. That is the Tech Story.” Captain Lloyd Lemke kicking at Blunt Park. Bob Chase Next year the Tigers look ahead to an even greater season.

Bottom row: BASKETBALL As winter rolled around, the scene on the U.S.S. Technical changed as loyal Tiger fans took up the victory chant for the basketball team. This popu- lar sport was again well represented by a fine Tech team. Faced with the loss of almost the entire squad from last year’s great team, Coach Bill Lawler had the tedious job of rebuilding during the 53-54 season. The scrappy but inexperienced Tigers met their first opponent in the pre-season jamboree on Dec. 4, 1953. Tech put on a fine showing, but lost in overtime by a 34—32 count to Classical. Opening the regular season, the Tigers got off to a good start by beating Commerce 54—34. The next foe was Trade. The Beavers built up an early ‘ead over a slow starting Tech Team, and held on for a 56-54 win, in spite of an amazing Tiger rally in the final minute. Tech moved on to Chicopee and virtually ran the Skiptowners through the floor as they left the court with a 54—46 decision. The Tigers looked like a polished team in their fourth outing as they smothered Classical 55—35. Taking to the road, the Tigers met Holyoke and actually tried too hard as Holyoke took advantage of fou) shots for a 66-59 win. The Bengal’s next stop was Rhode Island, where they found smooth sailing and came up with a 57-43 victory over Lockwood High. Home again, the Tigers met a tall Cathedral team, who pulled the Tiger’s tail to a 60-32 tune. Back on the road, the Tigers were easy prey for a Jump ball between Tom Moylan of Alumni (17) and Dick Gurski of Tech (16). BASKETBALL powerful Greenfield team. The final score found Greenfield on top, 70-50. The next opponent for the Bengals was Trade. Asin the first game, Trade held on to an early lead to halt the game but tiring Tigers, 51—45. Trying hard to regain winning ways, Tech journeyed to Westfield where they found an eager home team. Westfield’s sharpshooters added an- other game to Tech’s growing string of defeats by winning 72-44. Back to Inter-School League action, Tech met Classical. The Bulldogs sensed that their rivals were slumping, and took advan- tage of every break to upset a weary Tech team by a 67-54 score. The next game didn’t count on the records, but it was great proof of the Tech spirit, as the Tigers of today met the Tigers of yesterday in a charity game for the Junior Red Cross. Tech beat the Alumni 76—66 in a game enjoyed by all. The Tigers finally halted their losing streak by trouncing Commerce 58-34. Next, the Bengals once again vainly tried to halt tournament-bound Cathedral, losing by a 64-45 score. Tech closed their season sadly by losing to Salem High, 64—50. Although the Tigers compiled a record of 5 wins and 9 losses this year, the team must be commended for its constant hustle and spirit. Also in for a word of praise is the Tiger Junior Varsity who had a record of 6 wins and 4 losses. The Varsity members this year were Captain Al Belniak, Bob Maloney, Al Byrne, Joe Derby, Dick Gurski, Archie Best, Dick Tavernier, Bob Chase, John Griffin, Chet Boulris, Chuck Frey, Jim Pitts, and Dick Russell. 131 Bob Chase against Chicopee opponents.

BASEBALL As warmer weather comes with the spring and summer months, baseball emerges with all its glory and thrills. Tech’s baseball team, with only a few veterans returning, finished the 1953 season with a record of three wins against six losses. Although it did not receive much of baseball’s glory, Tech did, how- ever, start its first game with a “bang.” Playing Trade, Karl Balland and Larry Cuoco singled and Bill Ellis then tripled, driving in,the two runners. He later scored on Tom Moylan’s fly ball. Tech’s scoring ended here, while Trade, making use of errors, finally won the game 6-3. In their second game, the Tigers edged the Classical Bulldogs in the final inning by a score of 7-6. L ead by Chet Boulris, who registered ten strike-outs, Bill Cha- clas, Al Belniak, and Dick Tavernier, the Tigers came from behind to win. The unusual hidden ball trick was used by Dick Tavernier in the eighth inning to end a Classical rally. Tech then lost to Cathedral in their third game of the season by a close score of 8-7. Tech held a slight margin until the Jate innings when the Panthers scored on miscues.

Tech scored most of its runs in the early innings, while Classical scored in the late innings on errors. Continuing the season, Tech played Trade, but lost by a tight 6 to 5 score. Highly praised Pittsfield found Tech’s spirit high when they visited here one cold, windy day. Gib Hubbard pitched a fine game, but poor fielding accounted for two Pittsfield tallies and enabled them to defeat the Tigers, 3-2.

SOCCER In ending a very successful season, Tech High’s soccer team made an impressive showing in the Western Massachusetts Interscholastic Soccer Tournament. Coach John Kalloch’s chargers up- set undefeated Hopkins Academy by a score of 4 to 1 in their first game of the tournament. In the second and final game, Tech lost to an always strong Ludlow team by a 2 to 1 score. With many of last year’s squad back, the Tigers compiled a creditable record of seven wins, three defeats, and two ties during the season. In the opening game of the season, Tech defeated West Springfield, 2 to 0, in a well-played contest. Then, the Tigers made it two in a row by defeating Trade, 3 to0,on goals by Ernie Scheyhing, Karl Balland, and Skip Ehnstrom. Tech managed to turn back a determined Cathedral team in a double overtime period by a score of 1 to 0. The a high-flying Tigers defeated Ludlow, 1 to 0, but Left to right: Tom Paige—Ludlow game at Kings Field. lost a return match to West Springfield by the - same score. After losing their second game to Classical, 2 to 0, the Tigers snarled back at Com- merce, winning 2 to 1. Led by freshman Jerry Krawczyk, who scored three goals, Tech trimmed Cathedral 4 to 0. Krawczyk also scored a marker in a game with Ludlow, which ended in a 1 to 1 stalemate. Meeting Classical for the second time and for the City Championship, Tech just didn’t have it in the first period when the Bulldogs kicked two quick goals. The Tigers rolled back in the last period, but were unable to score and lost, 2 to 0. About this time, the Technical squad received their invitation to the tournament at the University of Massachusetts. In a more or less postseason game, Tech was held to a tie by the Red Raiders from Commerce.

ACTIVITIES the season did not have much bearing on the stand- ings in the City League in which Tech finished second to Classical. Traveling to Amherst, Tech entered the tourna- ment along with such stand-out teams as Hopkins Academy, Classical, and Ludlow. In the first round of play Ludlow defeated Classical in, over- time, and Tech beat Hopkins, 4 to 1. Outplaying the academy team in most of the game, the Tigers did their damage in the first two minutes and fifteen seconds of the contest by scoring three goals. Coasting the rest of the way Tech lost a shutout when Hopkins scored on a penalty kick. Goals in this game were scored by Tom Paige, 2; Captain Alf Ehnstrom, and Jerry Krawczyk. In losing the Western Massachusetts title to Ludlow in the following game, Tech played hard except for the first period. Two goals by Ludlow’s Jimmy Jorge in this period proved too much for the Tigers. We did manage to score late in the fourth period, however, when Karl Balland headed the ball past the Lion’s goalie. The following boys on the soccer team deserve much praise for their competitive spirit through the season: E. Atanian, K. Balland, B. Berg, G. Bauerfeind, D. Burnett, A. Byrne, B. Clark, A.

A major-sport in the eyes of many Techites is swimming. This popular sport, more commonly thought of as a summer recreation, is quickly in- creasing to major prominence throughout the world. Once again, Tech assembled one of the best teams in Western Massachusetts. Coached by amiable Milt Orcutt, the Tiger mermen swam through a highly successful season with a record of 4 wins and 2 losses in regular com- petition. An important item though, is the fact that the Bengals were undefeated in dual meets against high school opposition. Led by Capt. Doug Bannon, the water Tigers opened their season on Dec. 18, 1953 in a tri- angular meet against Hartford Public High School and the University of Connecticut freshmen. The meet turned into a walkaway for the U. Conn. Frosh as they amassed 48 points for an easy win Wayne Ottan: executing the back dive. SWIMMING Hartford and Tech battled it out for second, with the team from the Nutmeg state gaining the edge by an 18—16 score over the Tigers. The next meet was local, Classical and the mer- men showed that they brought along their water- wings, as they took a 36-30 decision over the Bulldogs. With George Fillon, Vic Taugher, Dave Wilson, Wayne Ottani, and Doug Bannon paving the way, the Tigers easily overthrew an invading Holyoke team by a 42—24 score.

SEASON Next the Tigers traveled to nearby Williston Academy to face what is probably one of the strongest teams inthe State. The powerful Willis- ton team was dealt a surprise as the stubborn Tigers put on a fine showing although they lost by a 41-24 margin. The Bengals next stop was Deerfield Academy, where they found another top team waiting for them. The Tigers tried gamely for an upset, but came out on the short end of a one-sided 43-22 score. Back into their own class, Tech journeyed to Dave Wilson and Bob Dinnie on far side of pool at start of 100 yard dash against Holyoke High School. Holyoke where they met a team who was anxious to avenge a previous loss. For the second time this year, though, the Tigers prevailed, this time by a close 34—32 score. The Tigers next gave Classical a chance to even the score, but once again Tech proved a little too good for their city rivals as they finished on the top end of a 35-31 score. The last test for the Tigers was the State Cham- pionship meet at Gardner. Tech put on a fine showing as they took 5th place in the State. An important factor in the Tiger wins was the relay team. Showing ‘‘Tech Spirit” and will to work together, the relay races always ended with Tech near to or in first place. A word of congratulations is due to all the mem- bers of this year’s fine team; and to those returning next year, a wish for continued success.

The Tigers compiled seven wins against four losses for a creditable record and a successful season. Tech’s 3 to 2 win over West Springfield high- lighted the team’s efforts during the season. The Terriers defeated the Tigers in first round play by a score of 5 to 3, but we rebounded in the second game to hand West Side its first defeat in four years and end their thirty-six game unbeaten streak. Taming the Classical Bulldogs 7 to 2 in the first game of the season, Tech showed it had power to be reckoned with; but an upset victory by Trade dimmed Tech’s hopes of a Western Mass.. championship. Games with Cathedral and Hol- yoke were won easily by lopsided scores of 8-3 At right is Ronnie Mattson of Tech trying to get a shot-off at West Springfield goalie, a 138 and 13-0 respectively; but in playing Hamden High School, Connecticut State Champs, the Tigers were on the receiving end of a 10-1 score. Tech won over Williston Academy 3-2, and then the Tigers went on to defeat Chicopee 4—0 to end the first round of play. Only the first four teams competed in the second round championship playoff. In the playoffs, Tech lost to Cathedral 3-1, defeated West Springfield 3-2 and walloped Chicopee 8-0 to finish third in the league. Those who participated in the sport are as follows: Ottone, H.

Seated: Jim Danalis, Len Cutler, Bill BOWLING Sitnik, Tom Laurino, Ron Breault. Bowling provided one of the major attractions last fall at Technical High School with many stu- dents and faculty members participating. Tech High rolled at the Chestnut Bowling Alleys under the direction of Mr. Peterson. The team, defending champions of the Interschool League, annexed their second league title and compiled an over-al] season record of 25 points for and 16 points against. It was a close league race with Tech defeating Trade by two pins in a thrilling playoff. Tech won second round honors; therefore, they gained the right to meet Trade, first round winners, in a playoff. Tech had three outstanding members on its team: Richard Breault, whose 98.7 average was highest in the city; James Donalis, who had high three strings with 291; and Leonard Cutler, who Left to right: Len Cutler, Mr. Wilkie, Jim Danalis, Dom Yacovone, Bill Grady. rolled a 120 for high single string honors. Other worthy members included Noyes Rivers, Tom Laurino, Bill Grady, Dominick Yacavone, and manager Bill Sitnik. Some twenty-five faculty members took part in the Schoo!masters’ League which operated at the Rose Bowl Alleys. Four teams, the Tigers, T. N. T.’s, Techers, and Technicks, well repre- sented Technical in the league conducted by the Schoolmasters’ Club. The fun-loving, spirited teachers bowled merely for recreation, and their respective teams included Messrs. Andrewes, Black, Northrup, Reed, and Romano, all members of the Tigers; Case, Hewitt, Lawler, Sprague, and Wiatrowski, of the T. N. T.’s; Biscaldi, Curran, Hannigan, Jackowski, and Snow, of the Technicks; and Candon, Chase, Holley, Wilke, and Zahner, of the Techers. Tom Laurino Left to right, first row: Jim Holsing, Phil Koetsch, Ernie Scheyhing, Phil Maurice, Tom Rattigan, Jerry Sanderson, Ralph Brown, Bill Lee, Jim Hunter, Paul Whitlock, Dave Lattinville. Second row: Charles Gleason, Art Gaskins, Hugh Trumbull, Gerhard Bauerfeind, Dick Hatisamann, Bob Van- cini, John Bellas, Isaac Best, Don Freeman, Conrad Hesse, Coach Milt Orcutt. Third row: Harry Setian, Jim Vedovelli, Dave Wilson, Garry Murphy, George Plumb, Don Learned, Dick Connery. Led by the helping hand of the renowned Milt Orcutt, the Tiger trackmen had a successful voy- age in 1953, keeping the championship status of an Orcutt-coached track team intact. The Tigers sailed through to an undefeated season in dual meets, as they swept by the city schools, Classical, Cathedral, and Trade, along with two good Berk- shire teams, Pittsfield and Drury. At the Western Massachusetts meet at West- field, the Tigers found tough sailing. Tech dropped the event to underdog Trade, whom the Tigers had beaten badly earlier in the season. As it was, it took a final-hour 4th place throw by Jim Holsing in the last event, the discus, coupled with firsts by Bob Vancini, Hugh Trum- bull, and Ike Best, and a third by Dick Raymond to give the Tigers second place by a slim half- point over West Springfield. Lack of depth and experience hurt Tech greatly in this meet. The first three scores were Trade 26, Tech 1814, West Ike Best AON PwW John Bellas Springfield 18, as Tech took home the second place trophy. Although defeated for the first time, Tech’s spirit was high. Once again Tech came through with a final hour showing to nose out Trade for the City Championship, 41144—391%4. This time it was the combined efforts of Bob Vancini and Harry Setian who took Ist and 3rd respectively in the final event, the javelin, to give us those precious points which kept for us our city suprem- acy. Although undefeated champs like Vancini and Trumbull, along with other stars like Best, Sander- son, Setian, Gaskins, and Bellas have graduated, the Tigers have City winner Jim Holsing, along with runner-ups Phil Maurice, Don Freeman, and other lettermen such as Peter Anninger, Bill Lee, Conrad Hesse, Paul Whitlock, Ralph Brown, and Dick Raymond to lead us to a successful try at an undefeated season.

The golf season this year was a very good exam- ple of the threat that Tech is to other schools in Western Massachusetts in the field of sports. Under the expert coaching of Tom Carey, our golf team got off to a flying start by practically drowning West Springfield in a flood of scoring. Carey’s golfers went on to make the record of thirteen wins out of thirteen games. The team then went on to steal the Western Massachusetts tourney away from fourteen opposing teams from high schools in the Springfield and Worcester areas with Harry Mattson as medalist. The up- holders of Tech’s honor in the field of golf this year were James Grochmal, Donald Mattson, Harry Mattson, Joseph Megliola, Arthur Malm- strom, and Buck O’Brien. Craig Preston Left to right: “Bucky” O’Brien, Art Malmstrom, Joe Meghiola, Jim Grochmal, Ron Mattson, Harry Mattson. The road taken by the tennis team this year proved to be a rather rough one. Due to bad con- ditions contributed by the weatherman, our tennis schedule was limited to only five matches. Win- ning four of the five single matches and splitting the doubles, Holyoke defeated Tech at the Blunt Park Courts, 5-2. Tech then went on to absorb bravely three more defeats. Our last game of the season was a staggering one on the Municipal Field Courts. Westfield High swept all the singles and doubles leaving Tech with a 6—0 defeat. The Tech Tennis Team was composed of Jerry Heller- man, Jim Kocot, Dick Marshall, Craig Preston, Tom Schlesinger, and Zeke Zundell.

Apparatus WTrmnN—Q The girls of Technical are offered an excellent physical training course during school and in after-school sports. Throughout the year Miss Gray and Mrs. Kohn helped us to learn good sportsmanship. In the fall, field hockey was played at the Armory grounds. A team was chosen from the best players, who then took part in the Field Hockey Playday. Tech was hostess for this event, which took place on October 28th at Forest Park. We were well represented by our team and Tech is proud of these girls. Senior life-saving, for girls in their junior and senior years, attracted twenty girls. Sponsored by the Red Cross, this course taught the girls various holds in the saving of a drowning person and artificial respiration. Actual swimming and written tests had to be passed in order to receive the senior life-saving badge. Ice skating NAWnDOoVUNWN Basketball, volleyball, apparatus and tumbling, along with modern and square dancing, headed the list for winter activities. The modern dancing groups and tumbling acts provided much enjoy- able entertainment in Tech Tantrums. An extra activity that interested many was ice skating, conducted at the Coliseum. Bowling was very popular with all the schools. Spring is the time for softball and tennis, and of course the fans came out for them like the new leaves at Forest Park. All these activities gave a certain number of points toward our school letters and the highest honor was to receive the G.A.A. pin. Springfield inaugurated a driver-education pro- gram some years ago in its high schools. Since that time, Chief Walmer has been responsible for turning out excellent drivers in our city. It has been proven that students in this course make capable operators of automobiles; more than that— the girls are as skillful as the boys.

You are now ready to venture into new fields of endeavor— higher education, business, industry. Many of you will be ‘‘on your own’’ for the first time. You will be responsible for spending your own money. How you do it will play an important part in your happi- ness, for if you spend unwisely, you will find your money gone and your real goals still unattained. A part of spending money is saving ahead for your im- portant desires. And there is no better place to save than at the Springfield Institution for Savings, where you'll receive a cordial welcome, whether you save one dollar or one hundred, or one thousand. With us, your savings are safe and earning interest. Make this important decision now—that you will save regularly—that you will save where generations of your forefathers have saved— at the SPRINGFIELD INSTITUTION FOR SAVINGS Our congratulations and best wishes for your future success! 161 LAURIENTE NURSERIES, INC. 464 Main St. Agawam, Mass.
