The significance of V-J Day, which ended the most costly catastrophe in the history of humanity, will forever hold a place in our memories as that day when the chains of oppression were unshackled and when men could once again live free lives without the fear of slavery in their hearts. V-J Day has given a stern challenge to us-the youth of America- It is the duty of the Class of 1946 and of the graduating classes that will follow to do their part that the world will never again be forced to suffer an era of up- heaval. We must bend our every effort to the end that war will never again violate the peace of our shores. We must live according to the ideals of the heroes who died in our name on Iwo Jima. We must redeem the sacred pledge that we make when we offer our allegiance to our flag. Almighty God wills peace to all men. Let us be His instruments in helping, in our humble way, to bring peace to the entire world. Q' lllilill U fri? is .9 It is altogether fitting that our class, the Class of 1946, pay tribute to the one hundred and nine members of Technical High School who have given their lives for their country in the Second World War. Yet we young students are almost inarticulate in finding words of gratitude and expressions of sorrow strong enough to show adequately our feelings toward these heroes. Never can an appreciation of a sacryfice as total as theirs be realized in words. They were chiefly young men, these one hundred and nine. Some of them are remembered as our friends and our class- mates. None of them shall ever be forgotten, nor shall their sacrdices be left unsung. These heroes died in order that we might live: in order that our American ideals may be the groundwork for the building of a better world, a world of liberty and brotherhood. It is to these immortal Technical High School men that we proudly dedicate the following pages, in memoriam. Nj! . . . . .: f it X 79 I N MM 2fc John W. Ahern, 1936 Lt. Comdr. Robert H.

Joseph Zappala, 1938 vreufvrd In preparing this yearbook of the Class of 1946, we of the staff have attempted to perpetuate the memories of three years of study and activity in this school. Ours have been years of rich experiences and lasting friendships. The highlights of these happy years have been perpetuated in this yearbook. We shall ever recall the boys we have met and the lessons we have learned--lessons of devotion to ideals and of service to man. We shall remember our fellow students as true comrades and our instructors as friends who wish us well. We have endured years of war and tribulationg we have seen days of sadnessg but now as the white dove of peace hovers over us, we rejoice and are happy. The next few years will be full of momentous problems for all mankind. It is the task of each one of us to help in his own way the securing of the blessings of peace for all nations, That those who gave their last full measure of devotion may not have died in vain.

Shakespeare You and I are citizens of the greatest democracy in the history of the world. Review your ancient, medieval, and modern history and you will be con- vinced of this truth. Today our American democracy is undergoing its greatest test. The aftermath of global warfare has left economic disorder and social unrest. The peoples of the world are suffering from physical devastation and spiritual decay. They look to American democracy for hope and guidance. Hence, we Americans must carefully consider and really live in accordance with democratic principles. American democracy must continue to prove itseh' as the saving way of We. War has ended the battle of destruction. Peace has brought to us another and a longer battle of construction. You young men are at the crossroads. You must take the right road in this struggle. Here in Boston Technical High School you have been instructed in the basic values of democratic institutions. You know that the preservation of our institutions demands your best efforts. Be mentally alert and eager to participate in all phases of community, city, state, and national We. Make it your objective to keep the United States of America a democracy with a conscience. America, the hope of the down-trodden, must never lose its moral sense. You young men must work to bring our country through the shadows to a brighter and happier tomorrow. Be builders, not wreckers. Every good wish to each one of you.

In the course of their four years, the gradu- ating class has studied many topics apper- taining to both literary and technical subjects which will be most applicable to their future. Now, departing from one another into the realms of a postwar-frenzied world, the seniors are confronted with vexing problems 5 but they will face and solve them.

We were greeted by a new head master, Mr. D. Leo Daley, who took the place of the former principal, Mr. Adelbert H. Morrison. Very shortly after the year began, some wonderful changes in the general character of the school came into being. We shall remember Mr. Daley always as an energetic man, as a real friend of boys, and as an ardent supporter of all school activities. One of the most im- portant of the changes was a change of name, for old Mechanic Arts High School now oiiicially became Boston Technical High, a name that far better expresses the purposes of our school. We were at first puzzled by the odd arrangement of rooms in this institute of technologyg for example, we, who sought Room 40, learned, to our surprise, that the only way to enter 40 was through Room 41. Then again we were a little fearful about venturing through the do- main of that tireless guardian of the fourth iioor, Mr. John Brennan. Our first new interest came in forging, a course that will live in our memories for years to come. Such characters as Bertram Ross- man, who frequently gave us a preview of the coming Fourth of July by blowing up his forge, Richard Keenan, who once welded his tongs to a piece of metal, and Paul Getchel, the strong-armed man, who broke an anvil, will never be forgotten. Bertram Swerling and John Hickson were lads who calculated mathematically the remaining days to be spent in Mr. Mazzuchelli's inferno, stepping stone to Satan's den. This course gave us an excellent preview of our fate, if we did not intend to lead holy and reverential lives. We were surprised to iind a captivat- ing new mathematics teacher, Miss Quirk, the first lady to teach at our school for many years. Miss Quirk took the place of Mr. Kenyon, a gracious gentleman who had recently retired. We had our first lessons in health education, and our class produced doctors like William Smith and john Horan who could bandage anything with a band-aid and cut off a person's wind in a manner most accomplished. In patternmaking, we were introduced to Mr. Philbrick's Beauty Parlor and Super- cafeteria, which competes with the school lunch room. Here James Stevens always provided an afternoon of entertainment, battling with his lathe in an effort to turn his stock evenly. In our academic courses, we worked hard to master arts and sciences, the theorems of Pythagoras and Euclid, the literature of Shakespeare and Eliot, the history of the ancient and modern days. We met the soft-spoken and lovable Mr. Louis Wells, whose subsequent retirement has left a void that will never be filled. Fatherly Mr. Webster often took us through the Fenway on some memorable walks under the guise of Photographic Expeditions. At the Boston Y. M. C. A. Mr. Colton taught many of the boys the art of swimming. 'Tis truly a wonder that there is still water at the YH after Robert Vaughn displaced half the pool to compen- sate for his weight. Further changes came when Mr. Rogers, Mr. Temple, and Mr. Field joined the list of former teachers, and the retirement of these men, who had long served the school, was truly a great loss to us all. Amid school forums and radio programs, which well portrayed the acade- mic ability of Technical High, the year sped by. The work of Colonel Breen was climaxed by success when our cadets took second place in the annual schoolboy parade. Our Junior year found us more mature. Since we had all been students at the school for a year or more, we began to feel that we owned a good part of the building. Wencan affirm with certainty that our thirdvyear was the most difiicultg the reasons are apparent to all who sur- vived. The greatest hurdle to surmount was the machine shop. There were some stand-out machinists like Richard Wong, Carl Erickson, and Charles Ramsay, but the number of the elect was not unduly large. Harold Kearns and John Regan tried to come within the narrow range of accuracy by chiseling away pieces of the stock. Others made diminutive reproduc- tions of water fountains by immersing their lathes in oil. Nevertheless, we profited much in learning the mechanics of the various problems that confront the skilled technician. Academically, we found that our trigonometry, algebra, and solid geometry were difficult of mastery. We continued our speaking acquaintance with Shake- speare by reading Macbeth We found ample time to learn the fundamentals of physics, a brain-twisting subject which left us no worse for our troubles, although some of us did not take readily to its mysteries. While Joseph Sacco and Don- ald Ralston shouted for the cessation of this torture, Robert Young and Lawrence Kogos started on their Nobel Prize experiment, the determining of the center of gravity in a doughnut. The enchanted circle of Technical High was further ex- tended by the entrance of two more charm- ing mathematics teachers, Miss Magner and Miss Smith. It was not long before they were listed among the most popular. Never underestimate the power of women! These ladies made even mathematics attractive. The draft board, we discovered, was no respecter of classes, and the more grown- up portion of our classes made a premature exit from school. We were happy how- ever, that '46 was able to contribute such grand representative Technical High School boys to the armed forces of our nation. In spite of the handicaps of war and of the unusual times under which we labored, we improved our scholastic standing. A ray of gladness warmed our hearts when the end. of the Italian Campaign and the un- conditional surrender of Germany cheered us along our way. In June we solemnly said goodbye to three real friends Mr. Henry, Mr. Benson, and Mr. Moulton, who ended their years of labor at Technical High and joined the ranks of the Faculty Alumni. Upon returning to school in Sep- tember, our outlook for the future was different. Prior to the summer, the atomic bomb was a dark secret, and its tremendous effect in bringing the war to a sudden close gave joy to the whole war-embattled universe. In August the first atomic bomb had been dropped on Hiroshima, then another on Nagasaki, ending abruptly the Japanese struggle for World control. With the war over at last, we fell easily into the routine of school life. We selected our class officers at an early date: Thomas Con- nors, presidentg Vincent Cerullo, vice- presidentg Harold Kearns, treasurer, and Francis Riley, secretary. These officers proved to be very eiiicient when the class functions were arranged. In our curriculum we delved deeper into the profundity of learning. In science we studied the mysteries of electrical engineering, meterorology, aeronautics, and chemistry. In literature we were thrilled by the great drama Hamlet In history we were inspired by Mr. Southworth. January found us socialites, reveling in Terpsichorean grace under the spell of the enchanting music and beautiful partners at the Hotel Statler. Finally June arrived with our long- awaited graduation. We proudly stepped forward to receive our diplomas, the sym- bol of years of earnest work. Although all good things must come to an end, the memories of these eventful and unfor- gettable years spent at Technical High will live for all our days. It is our firm determination that our lives in the future will be guided by the ideals of honor and attainment that have been deeply inculcated into us by the friendly and interested faculty of Tech- nical High. joseph William Sweeney, '46 'THROU GH THE.

Therefore, we the undersigned, do in this, the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and forty-six, declare that the above document was made freely and without fear of reprisal and contains what we truly believe to be the best that we can give of what little we have in return for that which we have been given at BOSTON TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL. Herbert Phillips, Kookie No. 1 Jim Stevens, Kookie No. 2 W 1 I he night grew still as darkness swept over the earth. Then came thunder and driving rain. The wind howled, and I was carried mystically away, as it were, on the wings of an invisible spirit. Out into the storm, into the utter darkness I flew. As the storm subsided, and the clouds passed, I was dropped gently to a knoll of green grass, wet with dew, sparkl- ing with the sun's first rays. It was early morning when I was rudely awakened from a deep slumber by police sergeant Bob Foster, better known as Trebor Retsof, of the class of '46, Technical High School. He told me firmly that I could not loiter there, unless I was a habitue of Boston Common. I lifted my weary head, heavy with slumber, and gazed sleepily around. Where was I? Suddenly I perceived a magnificent structure. An old familiar sight greeted me, for when my eyes had reached the highest part of this building, there stood a tall watch tower. Then I realized that this was the new Technical High School. I ad- vanced toward a plaque imbedded in the wall of this beautiful building. It was in- scribed as follows: We, the Class of 1946, do leave this building and gymnasium to all those school-less orphans who wish to escape the tortures of teachers and school books. Below this I saw, This building was constructed by the Basile and Petrocchi Engineering Company. The foundation was laid by that master bricklayer, Do- menico. Entering the building, I was greeted by a bent and broken man. It was Kearns, still paying his debts to the treasury of the Class of '46. Beside him sat Arthur Milli- gan, who, I was told, was still waiting for his class ring. Beyond him I saw chained to an anvil, the gorilla man, Vaughn, carrying a sign saying, This can happen to you, if you don't try Hobson's little pills. Good for the liver, good for the molars, and good for nothing. A boy scout, McCabe, ushered me into a brightly lighted lounge. To pass the time I studied pictures of Technical's past greats. Among these I found Field Marshall Woronoff, Don Gates, Bill Young- er, Bob Slathe, and Ivan Petrovich Packer. I was interrupted in my reminiscences by Regan, who had not yet graduated, but who was still pursuing his M.A.L. A.B.A. degree. He told me how at long last, under the coaching of that great back of '46, Bibby Lewis, Technical had finally beaten English. The football warriors were aided by feminine cheerleaders, as Tech was now Co-Ed. Just then Warner rushed from one of the numerous pupil elevators, to hand me Russell's Gazette, carrying the full ac- count of the English game. I at once turned to the comics, where I read Little joe. Featured was Alconada by Wong and Horan. I lit up a cigar taken from the humi- dor placed in front of me. It was one of those Beltzer, Isenstein, and DeCosta's If you can't smoke it, chew it, super deluxe, etc., etc., and more special stogies. Contented, I glanced through the paper. The headlines read, Tom Con- nors Apprehended in Election Campaign. Contrary to all customs, Tom had forced his constituents to pay him for the privi- lege of voting for him. I read on and on and plus, I learned that Ferron MacLeod had preached from his window on Belvidere, Scotia, and Dal- ton Streets on the short-comings of tri- angles and railroad yards. Congressmen Riley, Rogers, and Richardson had presented a bill in Con- gress on a Forum to End All Forums. Speaker of the House, Kogos, stopped their efforts with a filibuster. He spoke for nine days while everyone slept. Ricasoli and Broms have just invented a new hair tonic guaranteed to grow hair on a rock of marble or on an empty egg. Joe Sweeney, Bill Stylos, and Char- lie MacDonald are touring the country exhibiting their prowess as athletes. The Cantwell, Burns, and Carroll band, including that blow-as-you-go trum- peter, Favreau, and that lovely and delicate soprano songster, Herb Phillips, are booked for the Chinese restaurant of Eng, Wong, and Mooncai .... Mayor Adams has just taken over the M., P., and R. Sulli- van's Fish Pier because of the latest calamity. Fiorello had steered his boat through Pier 47. A fire was started, and the fish, baked in the boat, left such a dis- turbing odor that complaints to the City Council by Diegel and Locke caused Boole and Greatrix, now running the City Council, to issue a proclamation to Mayor Adams. By quick action of Costine and Dyette, the mayor's secretaries, Brenner was put in charge of the fish pier until fur1:her notice. This led to more difficulty in the local Maintenance Union L. A. B. A., where Euplio Rossi replaced Robert Ford by an almost unanimous vote. The man who failed to vote for Rossi said, I wanted George Washington to be the only man to get a unanimous vote. As I laid down my paper, the silence was interrupted by the strains of sweet, soft, boogie-woogie. Joe Sacco, the new Head Master of the new Technical High School, informed me that the musicians were Marsman and Stevens, old time music makers, playing in the spacious lunch room. This was to comply with Sacco's slogan, Music while you eat, to help you digest the meat. Together we rode in Head Master Sacco's new helicopter, purchased from Vinny Cerullo's deluxe Auto-Copter plant. Our chauffeur was Heaton, of old time football fame. We landed on the Bradford roof where we left our helicopter in charge of the garage man, Timmy Cronin, and went down stairs for dinner. Here Joe and I encountered the head waiter, our old classmate, 'fRed Donahue, who served us food cooked by chef Ronald Brown, featuring his own creation, Brown's Blueplate Meatball Special. At the night club we met the mana- ger, Crowley, and his official bouncer Weitzman, who doesn't walk, who doesn't talk, but who crawls on his stomach like a reptile. Our sea food cocktails were served by bus boy Dolan. We were greeted warm- ly by Cernigliaro and Govostes, multi- millionaires, who are still selling their all-purpose, no-help tonic, guaranteed to cure liver trouble, headaches, arthritis, and weak eyes. Also, a little applied to the furniture does wonders! At last the floor show began, with Bert Swerling imitating Baby Snooks. Next came the strong-man act featuring those rufiians from Dorchester, Modelev- sky and Marakoulas. The last act was by George Laing, singing a revised version of Columbo. As the show ended with scattered applause, we continued our doodling on the table cloth cleaned by Benyue. With my head throbbing from the abuse I had taken, I left Joe at the club and entered a drugstore and ordered a 0022, of an aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid, and also one of Balerno's weenies. Dick Keenan served me in bewilderment. I was approached by a bookie, Red Gallagher, who gave me a tip on the daily double. His friend, a shyster lawyer, Fred Roth, who no longer collected birds' nests, advised me to visit McDonough's Gymnasium. As I passed out into the street, I saw a mailman beating a dog with the straps of his pouch. Recognizing me, he introduced himself as Moraites. Together we walked as far as Tony Antonuccio's barber shop. Moraites left me now, and I continued on to Mac's gym. Here I en- countered Pannier, Moraski, Gardner, and Hartling keeping in trim for the hockey season. Bob Lynch greeted me and es- corted me into the back room where Moltan and Vissio were playing billiards. I sank deeply into a lounging chair up- holstered by Engram. I turned on the radio in time to hear the last strains of a duet by Johnson and Halkett. Squeak!X?? - Yes there's good news tonight! Collins and Fettig have finally trailed the kidnapper of Lawton to West Roxbury. Police Commissioner J. A. Rennie has also assigned Norberg and Williamson to the case in the hopes of finding the kidnapper before morning. Flash!-Flash! Griffith and Zwarick are missing. Police believe that they also will be found in the Wilds of West Rox- bury. Now the announcer began his com- mercial: If you can't get Greeniield's Soap, use watery it's just as good. For that skin you love to touch, for that face you love to look upon, go to Reddish's Turkish Bath. Then you won't have a care in the world! Here's a pitch and it's a good one! The Boston Red Sox have just purchased Tomsick and McCarthy for the price of seven dollars. This may possibly mean the pennant, with the Yanks in another slump. Good evening, ladies and gentle- men. This is your Northampton Street reporter, Dexter Proudman. The motion picture industry announces a new horror thriller just produced. Starring in this production are Hickson, Smith, Begley, Boyajian, and Ahearn. If you remember, my friends, the last picture from Ameno and King's studios broke every record of attendance. Flash! We are sorry to interrupt this broadcast, but a special announcement has just been handed me. Bernard Brodie has just dived off the Brooklyn Bridge. Murdock dived in to save him and they were both rescued by Aucoin. We now return you to the regularly scheduled program. Hello, again, ladies and gentlemen, our sponsor has something to say to you- Mr. Talanian-Thank you.', i'Does your tongue stick to the side of your mouth? Then go to your nearest McCusker's fruit store and buy some western lemons. And now for that supense-killer produced by Clancy, This is my worst. Our villain, Humphries, has just entered the darkened room where our hero, Baker, sat. He crept silently closer and closer. I crouched in agony waiting for the villain to strike the blow. I enacted the hero's role as I, with the strength of a lion, twisted from the grasp of the invisible villain to find myself hurtling through space. With a thump I landed. I looked about me. I was in my bed room. A physics book lay beside me open to the page on the law of gravity. As I lifted my now exhausted body, I made a new resolution. No more proms! Chester W.

Milligan l 77 ' The purposes of the Student Coun- cil, representative governing body of Bos- ton Technical High School, are: A. To enable the students, through their representatives in the council, to work together for the best interests of the school. B. To promote a closer understanding and a more genuine co-operation between students and faculty. C. To instruct and guide the students in such a way as to make them upright, law-abiding, and serviceable citizens of the school and community. Each year the council selects four worthy scholars from each division. From this group a governing body of twenty-five boys is chosen. Meetings are held as often as is deemed necessary. At these meetings all matters of school importance are dis- cussed, activities promoted, and assemblies planned. Most significant of the assemblies is the Technical High School Honor Assembly. An added feature of the Council's work is the establishment of the Council Court. The Court is instrumental in keeping order, insuring justice, and main- Sfudmf 60 neil taining tranquillity throughout the school. The ultimate aim of the Court, however, is not to punish but to secure the cheerful, loyal co-operation of the defendants in future school and Council activities. The governing body consists of six men: Wilbur Lewis, chief justiceg Donald Gates and Lawrence Kogos, associate j usticesg Daniel Gallagher, clerkg and Irving Modelevsky and Robert Foster, sergeants- at-arms. The officers of the Council are elected by the votes of the councillors, in an election which takes place at one of the first meetings of the Council. The officers are president, vice-president, and secretary. The Council adviser acts as treasurer in matters which need the attention of such an ofticer. The adviser is a teacher who is present at all meetings. The adviser this year is Mr. John F. Desmond, to whom we all owe a Vote of appreciation for his out- standing work in Council activities. Lawrence Rogers, presidentg Walter Molis, vice-president, James McMahon, secretary, and the entire Council wish to say that it is indeed an honor to be mem- bers of the Student Council of Boston Technical High School.

The editorials and stories written by the students for our magazine are worthy of highest praise. The staff, working with one object in mind, the publishing of the best possible school magazine, has had real satisfaction when it has seen the excellence of the Artisan, a magazine that ranks with the best. Much of the success of the Artisan is due to the advisers, Mr. Joseph A. Moran and Mr. Secundo A. Mazzuchelli, who have given of their talents and their time unstintingly and unselfishly. lr Second Row: Mr. Hoyt, N. Marsman, A. Micheli, M. Boyajian, J. Giuffrida, F. Giordano, R. McCryst:il, R.

Papsis Orclze fm 80 This year, as usual, Boston Tech- nical High School has had one of the very best orchestras in the Boston School System. Under the direction of Mr. Joseph Trongone, assistant director of music, the band has done excellent work throughout the school year. The orchestra has played at many school affairs such as the Christ- mas Day Assembly, Parent-Teachers' Meetings, and Lincoln and Washington's Birthday Assemblies. The orchestra has done a noteworthy piece of work in bring- ing to its many audiences the true spirit of each occasion. The Senior Class takes this occasion to commend the orchestra for its splendid work, and to extend our deep appreciation to the two members of the faculty who have willingly and unstintingly co-operated with the schoolboy musicians. For many years Mr. Samuel Hoyt has steadied the orchestra as a violinist, and Mr. Desmond has been an inspiring pianist. lk This year, for the first time since its establishment as an extra-curricular activity, Boston Technical High School's Glee Club has left its familiar home in Room 58 and has ventured down one floor to our auditorium. The grand exodus from the small room on the fifth floor to the spacious assembly hall was due entirely to the response of the interested student body which contributed more than eighty future Carusos to the making of the Choral Society. Under the leadership of Mr. T. Francis Burke and his very able assistant, Mr. John F. Desmond, the Glee Club reached new heights in its presentation of melodies that were enjoyed by all. Al- though it was very active in almost all of the assemblies, the Choral Society will probably be best remembered for its splendid exhibition at the Christmas Musi- cale and at the Spring Music Festival, where it really reflected the excellent train- ing that it had received.

Up on your feet! How true and symbolic these words of reminiscence are to those who made the weekly trip down to Braves Field to repre- sent the Buff and Blue on the gridiron. These words refer to the rising of the bench warmers, as the varsity trotted out on the field for the opening whistle that signified the beginning of another autumn classic. Our standing in the city league was not high, yet the boys from Belvidere and Dalton Streets were far better than their record seem to show. il 84 The clashes with Commerce, English, and Dorchester ended with the ball deep down in enemy territory, and if the time had not run out, perhaps, Tech would have emerged the victor. It is interesting to note that we tied both Commerce and English, while English, one of the greatest threats on the cleat-pitted turf, tied Boston College High, rated as one of the best teams in New England. After the Dorchester and B. C. High games' we lost to Roxbury Memorial, but we finally hit the win column at the expense of Public Latin School. In the last game, with our tra- ? . ditional rival, Boston Trade, our boys played grand football, but we were de- feated by the extra point. The lads who carried the brunt of the attack and who really gave a splendid exhibition of themselves in the manly art of perambulating with a pigskin, included several boys in the various Honorable Mention lists of the Boston newspapers. These were Irving Modelevsky, our stellar centerg Wilbur Lewis, the Gee-Whiz halfbackg Jim McMahon, the clever field general, and John Sullivan, one of the finest guards in the state. The ,Yearbook staff, with the as- sistance of Coach McGrath, has prepared a very novel feature, an, All-Team, com- posed of what we believe you of the graduating class will always remember as the Technical High School football team, a three year all-Tech squad made up of the cleverest football players that the Buff and Blue placed on the gridiron during our three years at our Alma Mater.

Henry J. Chiarini, World War II hero, the Scintil1ating Streaks from Scotia Street, for the second straight year, obligingly complied with the requests of the clamorous student body and skated in a very impressive fashion to the coveted title of City Champions. By virtually dumping the first four opponents, Latin School 4-1, Com- merce 3-2, Memorial 7-0, and Dorchester 4-0, the Tech hockey team seemed de- stined to win the In-Town title. Get that title it did! Knocking English into a loop by virtue of 5-1 was the next round on the schedule, and in accomplishing this feat, we automatically clinched the title even though we had the Trade game to play. This we won to the tune of 4-2. The first post-season game, which was to decide the City-wide Championship, found East Boston as the choice of the District Schools and Tech as the In-Town representative. The score? Tech out on top, by very decidingly slamming the Tunnel Tourists, 5-2, in what was one of the wildest, maddest, and most ultra- penalty dealing contests in Boston school- boy hockey history. Tech, for the second year in a row and as the City of Boston's sole ambassa- dor during the entire history of the i86l Metropolitan Hockey Tournament, now came into the fastest competition in the state. Our opponents were Lexington High and Rindge Tech, who had been predicted to run the goal-scoring into two figures in what would have been more or less, basketball game scores. In the Lexington game Tech answered these mis- guided prophets with a third period spurt that threw more than a little fear and apprehension into the Minute Men's coach. The wearers of the Buff and Blue scored twice in the first forty-seven seconds of play and added two more digits in that final canto to go down in defeat, 9-6, but to win the praises of all for the last-ditch display of courage. The Rindge game was even more humiliating to the Prophets, as goalie Bob Gardner played his best game of the season, holding what was considered by many to be the finest high school hockey team in New England to a score of 1-0. Gardner made the grand total of fifty-one saves in the contest. So ended, in what was a moral victory for us, the greatest hockey season that Boston Tech has ever played. With the assistance of Coach Mc- Grath, we present, as in football, Tech's three year hockey team. This is distinctly a difficult team to choose because of the excellent of all three sixes. First team selections are just a wee bit better than the utility men and this is mainly due to experience. Our All-Team Goal-Gardner ,46 Defensee-Black '45 and McPherson '45 Right Wing-Bobek '45 Center-Buivid '45 Left WingfAnderson '47 Utility Defense-Moraski '46 Utility Forward-Pannier '46 i87l Zfmck Bang!! No, you're all wrong! Bang! is not here a symbol for the rip roaring era of Wild Bill Hickox nor the shootin' of the James brothers. On the contrary, with the sounding of that pistol, we ob- served the re-opening of an athletic ex- travaganza that goes back to the time of the ancient Greeks. As a whole, the team did very well in the fast company and in the hot compe- tition that it faced. Fourth place out of fourteen schools is a splendid showing in the Thirty-eighth Annual Regimentals! Our big entry in the meet was Clyde Crawford, who came through as he had in just about every other meet, with a first in the 50-yard dash. In the Reggies, Clyde ran his specialty with virtually no competition and ended up with a clocking of 5.8s. Walter Mills, another Tech lad, followed Clyde up with a decisive second. In the 300-yard stretch, English's Bob Farrell thought he had the race all sewed up, after his greatest threat, Dave Neville of Brandeis, had been eliminated in the trials because of a false start. Mr. Farrell, however, never reckoned with Tech's Al Reddick who spun up from third and pressed Bob all the way to the tape, to take a second for himself. The 440, with Jim Tyler taking number two position and Hippo Psyras coming up with a fourth, was one of the best races of the season, as jim, who had been last during the course of the entire race, put on his wings in the last lap and sped by all opposition except Joe Murano of Eastie and lost out to Joe by only a blanket. The crowning event of the afternoon was the Class A-B relay, which Tech, in its usual Ho-hum manner, grabbed off in what was the fastest time of the season, lm. 20.8s. Here is that All-Tech squad you have been waiting for, as selected by Coach McGrath.

Marakoulus l5'a kefb ll Three years ago basketball was brought into the Boston School System after an absence of about three decades. At the time of its re-entrance, the artists of the hoop game created about as much interest as an intra-mural domino team would have evoked. Yet in the three years that have elapsed since this belated re- inaguration, basketball has grown from an infant sport into a full grown and strongly established adult. The squad that brought us glory by ending near the top of the Conference was composed of Bill Younger, Mizzy Torosian, Sam Johnson, Stan Tomsick, and Andy Marakoulos. Younger, highest scorer on the team with 156 points, was the quick break- away artist and a valuable man toihave on any ball club. Masrob Torosian, known as Mighty Mizzy, was slightly terrific against a zone defense and on those set shots. Masarob holds the distinction of being the National Free-throw Champion of the Boys' Clubs of America. This athletic son of the old South End also has won a position in the 1946 All-Boston Garden team, selected from every New England High School team that has played at the North Station colosseum this sea- son. Miz was later presented with a silver basketball by Mr. Walter Brown, president of the Garden and one of the great sports authorities in the world today. Sam Johnson as center and captain of our stellar outfit was not only O-Mi- Gosh! on all his all-round play but re- ceived his real distinction when he was dubbed with the epitaph, The backboard thief. Stan Tomsick and Andy Marakou- los in the defense slots were the equal of any defense pair in the city. Stan has been the spark plug of the team. He was a second coach on the court. Remember the Commerce incident? Andy Marakoulas, while not the highest digit developer on the squad, was the real life-saver of the team. Thanks to his goal guarding, Ken West of Com- merce, league's highest scorer, and Wad- day, McCall, French, Manning, and the rest of Boston's high falutin', goal shootin' sons, were halted by an impregnable wall. One important fact has been per- sonified throughout our entire athletic season. Boston Tech has reached such a high position in the league because of one thing . . . team-work. In compliance with our Yearbook policy of selecting an All-Tech team, we present the following: Left Forward-Fred Kisilowsky '45 Right Forward-Mizzy Torosian '47 Center-Sam Johnson '46 Left Guard-Stan Tomsick '46 Right GuardAAndy Marakoulos '46 Utility-Bill Younger '46 1671566411 If the students of Boston Technical High School have ever shone with the brilliance of a postwar diamond in one particular sport, that sport is baseball. Since this article is being written just when Coach McGrath is calling the boys out for practice, we cannot prognos- ticate infallibly as to this year's nineg hence, it has been deemed best to review the team of 1945. Last year's squad, one of the best that has ever hounded and hammered the horsehide pellet at Technical High, bettered the excellent record of 12-3 left by 1944, for the 1945 club won the title City Champs, and finished the season with a 13-2 record. This year's team? . . . Well, no- body can really make a definite statement as to how many wins and losses it will encounter and what our final standing in the league will be, but here is an attempt at a few predictions from a not-too-reliable source. Tech, should close the season in first place with fifteen yeas and zero nays. Remember, however, that this is all a hopeful prophesy. The basis of this dream is the fact that many of last year's championship team will be back with us again. Bill Younger, captain and most likely candidate for shortstop, will be present. Gig Shionis, stellar keystone keeper, will also be aroundg and Stan Tomsick, fresh from the basketball court, will either toe the concrete slab or grow daisies out in the garden. These three, added to other real ball players should make up a crack outfit. This column will close with Tech's All-Three year squad, as chosen by Coach McGrath, who incidentally, was very helpful in producing the sports section of the Yearbook. We should also like to thank Coach Powers for his willing co- operation.

Dawson Hand If you happen to be on the Scotia Street side of the building on Friday after- noons, you probably heard the sound of martial music echoing from the drill hall. This music is from the Boston Technical High School band, warming up its musical chords for the annual street parade in J une. Many of us remember the excellent performances of the band in assemblies, and others recall the outstanding work done at last year's Prize Drill. The band is under the direction of Mr. Sordillo of the Music Department. The officers, chosen according to their school records, playing ability, and service with the band, are Captain Joseph Giuf- frida, first prize winner in the trumpet class, lst Lieutenant Frank Giordano, winner in the trombone class, and 1st Lieutenant Arnold MacCollum, winner in the clarinet class. Led by band veterans, the organiza- tion is strong in spirit. The fifty members of the unit are working harder than ever to better the third prizes won in the city- wide competition of the last two years. With this strong will to win, the Boston Technical High School band will appear on Parade Day as the best musical organiza- tion in line. rl96l4 The Drum and Bugle Corps has had a long and distinguished existence. It was organized in 1927 by Harry Roche, a veteran of the First World War, in which he held rank as a 2nd lieutenant and led his units in action on the fields of France. Lt. Roche gave the Technical High School boys the best possible training, and we are sure that no better Corps leader can be found anywhere. Under his direc- tion drums and bugles came out at full blast, and prizes were won by the school again and again. Sadness came to the whole Corps at the time of his passing away not long ago. Buglers sounded taps,' and all other corpsmen offered silent and solemn prayers for the repose of the soul of their efficient founder. Mr. Joseph W. Donovan succeeded our late director. He, too, was ambitious and taught us various techniques. His forte is the use of trick marching, such as zig-zagging and weaving. He, too, is a well-experienced director, and under him the Drum and Bugle Corps have won first prizes for three consecutive years. All members of this staff had a deservedly high reputation, and the future of the Technical High School on parade is assured. Drum and Bug! 60 ,U Third Row: R. Armstrong, A. Brogren, A Second Row: R.

The air was fragrantly filled with the aroma of the perfume of many flowers as we entered the massive portals of the Georgian Room at the Hotel Statler on January 25 to attend our long-awaited Class Prom. A stream of sweet and mellow music filled our ears and warmed our souls as we danced to Chap- dl 98 py Arnold's orchestra. The Technicians, bedecked in dress clothes, did themselves proudly, with their excellent taste and gen- tlemanly manners. It was a night of memories! - Congratulations are due to Dick Keenan and to the members of his com- mittee.
