This year, 1966, holds a very special significance for not only the seniors but for the tradition of Tech itself! We are celebrating our sixtieth year as Technical High School. In 1898 an experimental Mechanics Art School, located at Winchester Square and headed by Charles Warner, was formed to provide the young people of Springfield with both technical and acade mic training. In 1906 the school moved to Elliot Street and became Technical High School. When more facilities became necessary in 1924, the Spring Street building was constructed. After the death of Mr. Warner in 1926, Harold B. Marsh be- came the principal until 1934. His successor, Major Burton B. Adams, brought about the construction of the additions which included the auditorium, the cafeteria and the connec- tion of the Spring and Elliot Street buildings. Upon the retirement of Major Adams in 1940, M. Marcus Ki- ley became the guiding light of Tech until 1949 when he was succeeded by Dr. Leo Gans. In 1953 Mr. Donald Gifford took his place among the competent men who have led the faculty and student body. Tech has witnessed many changes through the years, but it has always been an extraordinary influence on everyone who comes in contact with it. On such a milestone in Tech’s history, it gives the entire student body great pleasure to say, ‘‘Happy Birthday Tech’’!
