Our é © N OQ Se WN ah ONS A) — ROBERT C. MOONEY Editor-in-Chief rologue With the completion of several months of difficult and fatiguing work we have at last produced this 1952 Yearbook. While you fellow graduates were enjoying your final year at Technical, we, the members of the staff, were busy striving to give you the best Yearbook possible. Each member of the staff has put many hours of hard work into this “Technician,” in the hope of bringing back to your minds memories of the years you have spent at Technical High School. Our book is finished! The greatest reward we of the staff can receive for our work is the knowledge that you are happy with your Yearbook. Many years will come and go, and with each succeeding year this book will become more and more a prized possession. As we leave the halls of Technical High School to enter this troubled world, we are faced with many grave problems. Yet we have been given the means to meet these problems in a man-like fashion. Not only have we been taught academic and shop subjects, but we have also been trained to be gentlemen in every sense of the word. With this background of a good school coupled with a good home and devoted parents we are sure of being true to School, to Country, and to God.

RICHARD GALLAGHER Welter SJ a) eaae Headmaster wy Mi, perl eats To the members of the Class of 1952 my final message is one of gratitude and exhortation. I thank you for your cooperation during the past four years. You have served the school well—in the classroom, on the platform, on the athletic field, in the extra curricular activities, in everything that pertained to the school. I have observed you both in and out of the school and I have always been proud of you. Now that you are leaving us, I ask you to carry the tradi- tion of Technical High School with you. The situation in the world is not a pretty one, You can easily become disillu- sioned by what you will see. I am thinking especially of the national picture — dishonesty and disloyalty in high places, and a deplorable lack of ethics that is so prevalent as to be a national disgrace. There is one remedy and only one. It lies with your generation and with yourselves. There must be a turning back to the ideals of our founding fathers. In our school you have learned the lessons of honesty, service, and unselfish devotion to a cause. Apply to yourselves as men the rigid standards which as boys you have learned to respect. Demand the same standards of others. Unless you and your generation do so, there will be national calamity, but if you do, there is hope for a glorious future for us as a nation. BIOS Dye Were: 4 See us Os DY Bari: It is with the greatest of pleasure that we, the Graduating Class of 1952, dedicate “The Technician” to Dr. Nathaniel J. Hasenfus, an outstanding man and a splendid teacher. The many years he has spent in unselfish toil for Tech- nical High deserve far more recognition than we could ever hope to give him. We have, therefore, in a vain attempt to show our full appreciation for his faith- ful work, selected Dr. Hasenfus as our dedicatee. Dr. Hasenfus has had charge of the Year Book since its inception and has done such a fine job that the “Tech- nician”’ is second to none. His leadership also as Head of the English Department has shown his willingness to make laborious efforts to better the young men he works with and for. Dr. Hasenfus was awarded his A.B. in 1922, his Ed.M. in 1923 and his Ph.D. in 1931, all by Boston College. With the completion of seventeen years of teach- ing at English High School, he came to old Mechanic Arts in 1940 as head of the English Department, succeeding Mr. Charles Lane Hanson. He is Vice-President of Chamberlayne School and Junior College, Vice-President of Stratford School, President of the Boston College Club of West Roxbury, and President of Boston College High School Alumni Association. He is a special writer for the Boston Globe and the Boston American. Dr. Hasenfus has written three successful books: “We Summer in Maine,” “More Vacation Days in Maine,” and “Athletics at Boston College.” He also has a fine family of five sons and two daughters. He isa past adjutant of West Roxbury Post, American Legion. Sir, we sincerely hope that some day you will receive the great rewards that we believe you richly deserve. We extend to you our thanks for being so patient with us, and we wish you continued success in any undertaking you may devote your many talents to in the coming years. Ds fans (lec Jo the best of Uour Ability To the Senior Class: The Class of 1952 has conferred upon me a signal honor in dedicating The Technician to me, and I truly appreciate that honor. I am pleased because I realize that in choosing me as its dedicatee, the Class acted so not as the result of any pressure but because it really wished to do so itself. Such loyalty makes the work of a teacher, like the work of a clergyman, very worth while. Teaching has been called “The worst paid and the best rewarded of all professions.” If that is so, such a dedication as this is a splendid reward for three decades of work with and for the schoolboys of Boston. To you, Members of the Class of 1952, I wish to leave a word of advice. 1 do not intend to flatter you with paeans of praise because you have completed your high school course, nor am I to promise that the world will be yours because of this initial success. I do not intend to expatiate on the duties that naturally fall to you because of your education. I am not going to picture for you a puzzled world that is waiting for you to solve its intricate problems, nor a harsh world that is lying in wait for you like a hidden enemy. I am, however, going to repeat what I have said to you so many times in the past four years ... that essentially the world is morally good and not morally bad. The average man and woman of America is a God-fearing, upright, respectable citizen, a person who honors decency and rectitude as your own parents honor these same qualities in your own home. Those parents hold you in deepest affection—never disappoint them, for they are your most devoted friends and your most ardent champions. And one more point must I repeat once again. A person gets out of life just exactly what he puts into it, and if you wish to be the success that you and your parents and your teachers hope you will be, aim high and ap ply yourselves to your utmost capacity. We teachers of Boston Technical High School wish you every success ... that success will come to you if you but do your part to the best of your God-given ability. NATHANIEL J.-HASENFUS Pr.

Sports Editor Class History One bright September morn- ing away back in 1948, the class of 1952 entered the hallowed portals of ‘Technical High. Now is the eve of our graduation. As we reminisce today, what fond memories those eventful four years bring to our minds! We are going forth into this me- chanical and difficult era, but because we have been given a solid foundation of knowledge and the ability to build upon it, we will be successful. Seeing our fair school for the first time, most of us were disappointed be- cause of its ancient appearance, but we soon learned that despite its antiquated exterior and its maze of corridors and staircases, Technical High was run on a highly efficient basis. Its standards and traditions we soon learned and regarded as being among the highest in the city. The course that all first year boys took was the same; this included algebra, English, history, and about a half dozen other interesting subjects. We never got to know Mr. D. Leo Daley, the headmaster of the school when we entered, because his appointment as Assistant Superintendent of Schools was made on our very first day. In his place, however, we were fortunate to receive as our headmaster, Mr. Walter ‘IT. Durnan, who came to us from South Boston High School and who more than filled the job, and has ably led us through our four years at Technical. It took most of the boys half a year to learn their way around the building. We had many interesting assemblies during the first year, among which were the Junior Achievement, the Armistice Day, Christmas, and Washington-Lincoln assemblies. Especially interesting was the traditional Honor assembly which had Tom Dowd, the Boston Red Sox traveling secretary, as a guest speaker. In sports, our football team encountered ill-luck all season, with injuries and rain conspiring with other setbacks to add to our woes, yet one member of the team, Charles Cavanaro, was chosen to play on the All-Star team. In track we did exceptionally well, having one of the best squads ever to don a Technical High uniform. We won the State Class A Championship and the Northeastern Medal which is even greater than the title of State Champs. Basket- ball and hockey were both successful and then we turned to spring sports, tennis, golf, and baseball. We had three new clubs added to the school activities, the “Creative Writ- ing Club” under the direction of Dr. Hasenfus, the “Plastics Club” under Mr. Harrison, and the ‘““Model Club” under Mr. Campbell. No sooner had the old doors of the school closed for our summer vacation than it seemed we were back to the old grind again. We were given the choice of a college or a technical education. The boys who chose the college course, which is called the B group, were given modern languages, French being com- pulsory. Shop work in both courses consisted of forging and pattern making. Hardly any boy relished forging. To us forging was like shoeing horses. Mr. Simeon F. Domas replaced Mr. John Doyle in the mathematics depart- ment, as Mr. Doyle was transferred to Public Latin School. Mr. James H. Hol- land became head of the mathematics department, giving over his coaching position to Mr. Herman McGrath. During the year we had many interesting assemblies, among which was the General Motors Assembly, which demonstrated everything from making rubber to shooting jet rockets. At the Athletic Assembly we were fortunate in having as our speaker, All-American Mike Holovak, now head coach of the Boston College team that upset Holy Cross this very December. We had a good year in sports. Our football team had an average of .714; our hockey team came up with an average of .750; and our basketball squad a season’s average of .500. Mr. McGrath did a fine job with the track team con- sidering that it was the first time he had that squad and despite the fact that the team had only fifty members as compared with last year’s championship team with seventy-five candidates. Finally the Day of Liberation came and we found ourselves looking for summer jobs. As with every vacation, time seemed to fly by “on woven wings,’ to quote Shakespeare, and we were soon back to school, this time as juniors. We were introduced to new subjects such as physics and machine shop. We then became acquainted with the terms micrometer, milligrams, weights, and levers. As in every year, there were changes in the faculty. Messrs. Herbert Brok- vist, Myron C. Hamer, André E. Heintz, Henry P. Moore, Charles D. Plumb, Daniel J. Sullivan, Louis E. Sullivan, and Michael Lynch were added as teach- ers. We were especially fortunate in having Mr. Heintz of Deauville, France, join our faculty as an exchange teacher. He came to us in place of Mr. Emmet T. Morrill, who became a Frenchman for the year. In addition to learning ex- cellent French, we were amazed at the thrilling stories that M. André told us of the invasion of Europe, where he served France as a member of the Under- ground. His assembly was one of the best of the year. The Reign of Women came to an end at old Tech when Miss Dorothy Cushing and Miss Bernice Smith were transferred to Girls’ Latin School. After a slow start our football team began to roll over every team that came our way. This was climaxed by a resounding victory over South Boston. Our baseball squad took one more step up the ladder toward its former diamond supremacy, improving on last year’s team. December found us trotting off to the New England Mutual Hall for the Buff and Blue Harvest dance. The committee for the dance did a superb job under the guidance of Mr. Holland. The music was provided by Gene Dennis and his orchestra, and the event turned out to be most enjoyable. ‘Toward the end of the third year the Student Council brought up a pro- posal to collect $2.50 from each student to cover the expenses of the school year. This money would be used for the Athletic Association, The Artisan, Loyalty Fund, Booster Shows, and the various campaigns and drives that came up during the year. ‘This proposal was approved by Mr. Durnan and the student body, and went into effect in September of the following school year. The summer came and went, and again after a vacation teeming with fun and excitement, we once more found ourselves walking down Dalton Street. Looking up at the old weather-beaten, red brick walls, we thought of all the happy times we had had at Technical High. We were seniors now, a little older, a little smarter, and with a far greater understanding than when we first entered the school close to four years before. Our class officers were Paul Doherty, President, Richard Gallagher, Vice- President; Donald McClair, Secretary; and Edward Fitzgerald, Treasurer. We set out on the first mile of our journey in happy spirits. The Harvest Dance was held in November at the Charter Room of the New England Mutual Building at Copley Square. The committee for the dance was once more under the guidance of Mr. Holland. The music was provided by Charlie Samar and his orchestra. As usual, our assemblies were of high grade. We had our regular meetings, of course, but in addition several special assemblies were held, one being of utmost interest to us in these trying days of the Korean War, when Mr. Martin Kramer of the State Department spoke to us knowingly on the work of the United Nations. Our football, hockey and basketball teams each had a successful year. As soon as the winter sports were over, Coach McGrath and Mr. Golden had the baseball, tennis, and golf teams back on the athletic fields. The months seemed to fly by and then came the event we all waited for, the senior prom. ‘The prom was held at Longwood ‘Towers and it was to us truly the loveliest night of the year. Class Day meant a great deal to us because it was the last time that we fellow “Technicians’ would be together as a group. We have finally come to the end of our long voyage through the sea of edu- cation at Technical High. When we entered the school, our teachers said that we were the young men of tomorrow. Well, tomorrow has arrived and it’s now time for us to go out into the world and help carry its burdens and problems. We sincerely believe that ‘Technical High has given us the ability and training necessary to confront the problems of today and those that will arise in the future. Let us give three rousing cheers for all those who made our success pos- sible! From Ou of the fast SCENES FROM TWO OF OUR ASSEMBLIES AND ‘THE HARVEST DANCE GL, iz rophec Y As the ominous ringing of the 2:33 bell had hardly left my ears, I found myself wandering aimlessly in the general direction of my Roxbury home. My thoughts were a bit hazy, but in my childish way I could not help wondering what would eventually happen to the class of 752. Suddenly, my eyes met an old worn sign hang- ing in front of a small building which looked as if it had been there since the Stone Age. The sign read, ‘““Madame Zorro, The Mystic. See the Future” (for a price). “This is just what you need,” some inner voice said to me, but since I have never had much faith in tellers of the future, I was a little wary. Nevertheless, I knocked softly on the door. Madam Zorro greeted me warmly and d1- rected me to a seat on the opposite side of the crystal ball. I told of my impatience in wishing to learn how the class of ’52 would end up. She said that she would do her best to inform me and that the crystal ball would be regulated so that I could gaze into it as clearly as though I were in an unknown future world. A sudden sensation passed through my entire body, and Madam Zorro informed me that we had roved into the unknown some twenty-five years hence. Consequently we could now see what was happening in 1977. As the ball cleared, it revealed, very vividly, two figures crouched over sev- eral test-tubes. I recognized them immediately to be Robert Murphy and Rich- ard Upham, who seemed to be some sort of scientists. Bob yelled, “We've got it! We've developed a reverse cucumber! Now the cucumber will ripen with dimples instead of warts!’’ (Oh! No!) The scene shifted quickly (I wonder why), and a breakfast scene appeared in my line of vision. Seated at the table was none other than Bob Lamie, sur- rounded by his lovely wife and a dozen children (he had always said that they came “cheaper by the dozen’). Bob was reading the morning paper and, since at school I had always passed tests by roving with my eyes, I could not help seeing the following: “War has just been averted with Bondville by the quick thinking of our ambassador, Joseph Benkert, once a candidate for the presidency of the class of 752. ‘ ‘John Daniels has just returned from another successful hunting trip to India (his children are relating his experiences in their oral compositions to Dr. Hasenfus). John added the head of a pink elephant to his vast collection of un- usual mice. “Another gang war is beginning to develop between ‘Big Jim’ Melloni of the West End Bad Boys and ‘Curly’ Goglia of the East Boston River Rats. They were feuding over the control of the bubble gum concessions in East Burlap. But with William Moy and Robert Sandri, the Charlie Channs of modern crime, on the job to fight these notorious fugitives fearlessly, little trouble is expected.” At the bottom of the page, I saw that George Bean had just opened a new school for the womanly art of wrestling. His chief aides are Polevy and Armitage who were trained in the M.T.A. Lamie glanced at me and nonchalantly turned the page. At the top of Page Two, I saw that Paul Doherty, along with his white beard, had just been made a trustee of the Boston Public Library. I read also that Eugene Geer had collaborated with Bernard Coffey to astound the world by proving mathematically that there is no Santa Claus (ex- cept Mr. Holland). ‘They are now under the constant protection from the younger generation, led by Baby Boy Belesca, whose nickname is “Zephyr.” After his return from his excursions to Arabia, the land of the Harems, George Salibe announced to the public that his motto was ‘“Harum-Scarum.” I learned, too, that education has chosen for its very own three men. John Ma- honey has reluctantly accepted the position of President of Yale University and Bob Caruso is chief instructor at Boston Barber College, while John Callahan, after mastering French, contrary to the prophecy of Mr. Racine, is the head janitor at Simmons College. At the bottom of the sheet I saw an advertisement: “For a way to increase your charm and personality, go to Don McClair’s Charm School.” Jackson, Bleiler, Dunivan, Dillon, and Lewis are his first batch of hand- some pupils. (Never be half safe, boys!) The financial page came next, and [ saw that after much perseverance Ray Brickus had become the Lumber King of the North Pole. He has invited Bob Harrington to establish a herring fishery among the Arctic floes. Nothing seemed to interest Lamie here; money seemed to ring a disturbing note in his bewildered brain. “Ah!” he said, “the editorial page (not the comics), at last!” I could not help noticing that all the columns were written by the great news hound, Bob Mooney, who learned journalism by hiding under Mr. Moran’s waste basket. One of the columns was about Jack Hemenway, Robert Ricci, and Theodore Critikos. With their newly-designed rocket ship, they had flown to the moon and discovered that it really is an enormous piece of green cheese. School lunchroom, take notice! Another thrilling note concerned Donald Pomes, the writer, who had just published his tenth best-seller, entitled “The Mental Moron” or “Four Years at Boston Tec hnical.” ‘The two major characters are Gerald McCarthy and Rich- ard Realini. The last column was about David Foster and Harvey Segal who had joined the Rahilly and Smith Circus as the thin and tall man respectively. Also in this circus, Gelineau trains the fleas, Riordan washes elephants, and “‘One- Arm” Winitzer feeds the big cats. Bob turned the page (I turned green), and my eyes were opened wide by a fashion advertisement. John Conroy and Francis Donlan, the inseparable twins, were modeling for oni Home Permanent. The title of this page was “Radio and ‘Television.’ I noticed that Enos and Maurice Contee were the stars of the show “It Pays to be Ignorant,” and that Ernest Wallace had the unwanted dis- tinction of writing the soap operas every morning. In the television field, Charlie Shionis just replaced the aging Howdy Doody and is doing quite well. The new darling of western movies turned out to be none other than “Bang, Bang’? Roy Deveau whose mother had named him after Roy Rogers. Because the next page opened the society section, I hardly expected to see anything here, but I saw that Richard Gallagher, the well-known playboy, had just married a duchess for the second time. Earl Nobles, the “Nile Fund” heir, drank champagne out of his escort’s slipper, at the Van Rizzo soirée while James McStravick had joined the Vincent Club. The comics delighted Bob’s eye as well as mine, for I saw that Richard Cate had created a new cartoon called “Feeble Phideas” in ‘Forging Can Be Wonder- rola. The sports page was full of astonishing facts. I was amazed to find that “Speedy” Lloyd King had broken the world’s record for the 100-yard dash. On his way of escape, he jumped two fences. Donald Flynn finally hit his stride in the wondrous game of football by scoring six touchdowns in the Grandmother- Grandfather game, while Mrs. John McGonagle and Mrs. John Rooney co- starred for the Grandmothers; the trio thus became best known as ‘‘Saturday’s Heroes.” Nicholas Adams and Dino Papetti became basketball coaches at Notre Dame Academy (for girls). Joseph Morrill set a new record with his racing car, “Howie,” with its jet attachments. Joe was aided no end by his manager, James Conway, who gave him the air—for his tires, of course. Bob yawned as he turned to the theatrical section. (Was he bored?). I read that Ronald Tradd, celebrated lover of the cinema, had opened a new school for lessons in love. His first two pupils are Joseph Landers and Robert Byrne. I read on. Leo Verrochi, Paul Tremblay, and Edward Libby were still haunting vaudeville with their tear-jerking rendition of “How could you believe me when [ said I loved you, when you know I’ve been eating bologna all my life?” The musical organization, led by Ronald Ludington and Costa Samargedelis, and featuring Bradley “Hot Lips” Sears and “Twinkletoes” Hadley, finished their second tour around the world playing the sweetest music this side of the insane asylum. Bob turned to his wife and smiled lovingly as the final page came into view. I discovered that John Leary had become a brilliant lawyer and had won another case, which was for the addition of another wing to that colossal marble building called . . . Boston Technical High School. The contract for said wing was awarded immediately to the Smith Construction Company headed by Zizniauskas, Livingston, and Vaitkevicius. I saw that Edward Fitzgerald, after working feverishly at his state treasurer’s job, suddenly decided that he needed a vacation. (Hmm!) I found that Jacob Pilibosian had proved the old adage, ‘‘Perseverance wins a goal” by becoming principal of Girl’s High School, after many years as head of its mathematics department. He said that he owes it all to . . . Mr. Rosen- gard’s patience. Just then Bob put down the paper and stretched his weary bones. Instantly, the crystal ball began to fade and grow dimmer and dimmer. I crossed Madam Zorro’s palm with that green article some people call money. My bright eyes meandered into hers and she posed the query of whether I was satisfied, and I replied that time alone would answer that question.

There the boys learn the fine points of art, design, and drawing. The more gifted boys do outstanding work, and those not so talented receive encouragement and help in their work. Many of the students enter art contests conducted by the school and by outside organizations. We feel that in the future, a goodly number of these boys will become top flight artists, and as a result of the training they received here be inspired to go on to art schools and colleges. Special Ar, Gi rtisan Stiff Once again THE ARTISAN has merited rec- ognition for a job well done. For the third con- secutive year, it has received Second Prize in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association’s annual school publications contest. Under the skillful and patient direction of Mr. J. A. Moran, the student editors have once more put out a top grade magazine, one which pro- vides interesting reading on a wide variety of subjects such as school activities, sports, humor, editorials, faculty notes, book reviews, poems, and stories. This year THE ARTISAN marks its forty-fifth year of continued and faithful service to the students and the school. Moreover, by furnishing information about the school in its earlier years, THE ARTISAN serves as a valuable chronicle of school history.

One good hobby for a person inter- ested in technical work is photography. The Camera Club is conducted to interest boys in photography and to encourage them to pursue this interesting and at times profitable avoca- tion. Thus this club might be classed as educa- tion for leisure. The Camera Club meets in Room 25 on Wednesdays and Fridays during the activity period under the guidance of Mr. Webster. A , Pollint. . Bancroft. LevKat eeneral discussion of all phases of photographic work is presented. Boys are encouraged to bring in their cameras or other photographic apparatus for help and instruction in the operation of these devices. Prints are judged and boys are helped to improve their work. Occasionally boys give talks on subjects in which they are proficient. Chess Club Twice a week, on Wednesday and Friday, the twenty members of the Chess Club meet in the lt brary to play their favorite competitive game. The atmosphere is something between informal and tense; but the brainwork involved seems to give pleasure. From among the members of the club is drawn the Chess Team of ten players, which belongs to the Greater Boston Interscholastic Chess League. ‘Theirs is a serious occupation; during the year games are scheduled with six or seven other schools, with re- turn matches, held Friday afternoons after school alternately here and in other schools. We stood a little better than middle position last year; this year there are hopes that we will rise higher toward the top. The games with other schools give us much excitement and fun and a good opportunity to meet other players around the city. The president of our Club and team this year is Richard DeLello, IV-X; the vice-president is Kenneth G. Chin, II-T; and the secretary 1s George D. Bean, IV-C. They have done excellent work in arranging oui players and recording the meets. Back Row: Coughlin, Pinaud, Swartz, Cluett, DeLeo, Donato, Ricci, Conroy, Worthington, Favel.

The Creative English Club is an organization composed of a small number of boys who wish to learn the fundamentals of writing. The group meets in Room 24 during activity periods and is conducted by Dr. Nathaniel Hasentfus who has written a number of books himself. Most of the members of the “Technician” staff are chosen from the club, and after the course is finished the boys find that they are more tal- ented writers. The club, now in the fifth year of its existence, has provided the long needed means for the development of young writers who find in it enjoyment as well as practical value. As a special project, this class, under the direction of Mr. Lofgren, is making a drafting standards book which will explain the right method ol drawing and laying out designs. The book will point out the proper way to dimension, to draw gears, screws, and nuts, and to perform all the important intricacies of drafting. When completed, the book will become a standard rule book for the rest of the school. The club, a comparatively new one, has made great strides in the few years of its existence and bids fair to be of permanent value to the school.

Tech’s group is under the able direction of Mr. Golden, who trains his young orators in the planning, writing, and delivery of their talks. Some of the interesting topics of discussion that have been planned for this year are “Are we over-emphasizing athletics?”, “Do we want socialized medi- cine?”’, and “Should we have Federal Aid to Education?” The outstanding performers of this forum group are Joseph Benkert, Donald Flynn, J. Ernest Wallace, Francis Rizzo, Robert Nee, and Cordell Bleiler. This year promises to be a splendid one for this group.

Mr. Burke is as- sisted in his work by Mr. Bernard, who not only awards orchids, but also sings to his pupils down in the machine shop. The group was particularly entertaining at the Christmas Assembly, at which time they inspired the audience with their fine interpretations of traditional Christmas Car- ols.

Boston Technical’s second annual Harvest Dance was held November 23 in the Charter Room of the New England Mutual Building. The many Technicians who were present danced to the music of Charlie Samar’s orches- tra under the watchful eye of Mr. James Holland who was there to see that things ran as smoothly as usual. During the intermission punch was served, and an orchid was presented to the prettiest girl present, who happened to be squired by lucky Robert Giuliana, Class President of 1951. Altogether, the group had a very good time, and when the evening was ended, our Buff and Blue Dance was a success, thanks to the able plan- ning of our worthwhile committee that left no stones unturned to make the Harvest Dance as enjoyable an occasion as possible. arvest De The International Correspondence Club meets under the direction ol Dr. Hasenfus. The club consists of boys who carry on a regular correspon- dence with boys from other schools in all parts of the world, especially Japan. Most of the letter writing is done by high school boys, but occasionally letters are received from high foreign officials. In their letters, writers exchange ideas about the schools, country, and different ways of living. All in all, it is a worthwhile organization to boost our international relations, and it is hoped that the group will grow in importance as years pass by.

Rosen- gard, comprises nearly one-third of the senior class. This organization 1s devoted to the review of advanced algebra and trigonometry, subjects valu- able in preparation for the college board examinations. Mr. Rosengard gives help on difficult problems that occur in the review and also explains the type of problems that are likely to appear in different tests. Many boys in the Math Club of previous years have obtained sufficient extra instruction to allow them to pass their college entrance tests with flying colors. pecia thonietics i Mr. Munnick, a master craftsman at building racing boats, is now sharing his knowledge of boat building with the members of the plane and boatbuilding section of the Model Club, of which he is leader. The racing boat models are made in the Potter Design in the fifty-eight hundred class, and the thirty-six-inch design, which is an adaptation of the Boy Scout forty-six-inch model raced everywhere in the United States. Mr. Munnick has won many prizes himself in racing just such boats in various contests. Another feature of the club is the building of airplanes. These are constructed mainly from airplane kits of gasoline models and scale models. The planes are being built for racing contests, although many of the boys will keep them for their own personal use and not risk them in competition.

The Boston Technical High School Chapter of the National Honor Society of Secondary Schools was officially granted a charter on November 6, 1951. The purpose of this organization is “to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character in pupils of Boston ‘Technical High School.” Pupils elected to the Honor Society were nominated by the faculty for rendering valuable service to the school. A Faculty Committee composed of Mr. Van Ham, Mr. Edward Powers, Mr. Rosengard, Mr. William Powers, and Mr. Harrison evaluated each nominee on the basis of his scholarship, character, and service. The final selection was made by secret ballot. On March 6, 1952 an ofhcial Induction Assembly was held and the National Honor Society Keys awarded. This is the highest honor that Boston Technical High School can bestow on any member of the student body. eh es f va ‘The orchestra, which is under the excel- lent supervision of Mr. Joseph Trongone, meets every Wednesday during the activity period. It features Costa Samargedelis, a very handy man with a “Sax,” who has played with the group since his freshman, year. Costa, along with Ronald Ludington, is a member of the Boston Public School Symphony Or- chestra. One of the boys has assured us that the outstanding success of this musical group is mostly due to the clever direct- ing of Mr. Trongone. As the young man said, ‘He really knows his stuff.” This group is a featured part of almost every assembly. The golden tones of Tech's orchestra, an articulate answer to the Boston Pops when it fills the hall, will forever be a fond memory of the graduate.

The object of the Plastics Club is to instruct pupils in the handling and fashioning of plastics by constructing interesting objects. Members of the club work with plexiglass and lucite, and each year many varied and unusual projects are undertaken. Work in internal carv- ing and plastic sculpture is attempted by the more advanced pupils in the club. The president is Robert Mooney, IV-X, and the vice-president is Rob- ert Spring, III-D. The club is instructed by Mr. William Harrison. BP lasticsn (tan One of the best remembered events of any boy’s high school days is his Senior Prom. The Class of 1952 will never forget the wonderful time we had at our prom which was held Wednesday evening, April 30, at Long- wood ‘Towers in Brookline. On that enchanted evening, Tech’s seniors danced to the sweetest music ever played, in a hall filled to capacity with beautiful girls and their handsome escorts. This was probably one of the most enjoyable proms ever conducted by a senior class at Tech, and its success was due not only to the fact that we had an excellent com- mittee in charge which worked hard to make things click, but also because Mr. Holland was constantly breathing down our necks to make sure that everything was as it should be. As Mr. Holland would probably say, ““The prom was a success. Reason? We all did our part to make it so.

Under the direction of Mr. Joseph Hackett, the boys learn the fundamentals of building and re- pairing sets, small and large. The members are also taught Morse Code and the theory of electronics and television. The Radio Club is outstanding among the many activities which help our boys in planning their future and make such a school as ours unique in the Boston School System. adhe Chil Seadbal (aa The Student Council, which functions un- der the supervision of Mr. William Harrison, is a body of students representing all the home- rooms and activities in the school.

The Automobile Model Club has had more than its share of success in the past few years. In the Fisher Body Craftsman Guild Contests, this past year, Paul Rahilly, I1V-X, won $100 and just missed being regional win- ner. John Mahoney, also of IV-X, last year won second State prize, and this year he received honorable mention and a kit of tools as prize. Anthony Vatalaro won a first state prize and Anthony DiGregorio an honorable mention. A feature of the Model Club is the making of antique guns, and in this endeavor boys have been turning out some real masterpieces. Each gun is an exact replica in every detail of the guns used in past centuries. The making of frigates is still another branch of the Model Club. The club members take great pride in the miniature models that they turn out, and well deserve all the praise that they receive. Each boat from mast to keel is an exact reproduction in scale of a boat that was used in the eight- eenth and nineteenth centuries. Mr. Campbell, the leader, has done excel- lent work in developing success 1n this club. Model Club TECHNICAL aN Aa o| | ‘ bI gf ® ; ch Gee !

The 1951 football team of Boston Technical High School had the best record made by this school in many years. The season ended with a sum total of six wins and two defeats. The team started out in a great way by whipping B. C. High and Rox- bury Memorial, but on October 12th, Tech’s victory march was halted by English High. Southie was our second victim, and in the next week our boys were all pepped up for the Eastie game only to see it cancelled by the weather man. The Dorchester game we pass over lightly. With a greatly rejuvenated club, Tech next played Latin School in a game long to be re- membered by all those in attendance. Rolling down the field in a brilliant manner, our boys upset the heavily-favored Latin team, 26-20. The account- ants at Commerce also felt the blow of the axe the following week as we marched over them 26-6. Finally Thanksgiving, the day we all looked forward to, arrived, and with it came vacation, turkey, and the game with our Trade School rivals from Parker Street. We were delighted when the Buff and Blue, playing very sharp football that day, rolled over the Tradesmen 19-6, to finish a good season, and win to second place in the Boston Conference.

Outstanding players on the team who were given special honors were Captain Donald Flynn, and linesman Jack Marr, both of whom were selected for the ALL BOSTON TEAM. Capt. Flynn won further distinction by emerging as the leading point scorer in the city (102 pts.), tying the city record for the most touchdowns scored in the city (15), and being selected for the Boston Post All-Scholastic Team.

[senha [ if In 1951 our baseball team had one of its best records in recent years, and because a nucleus for another good club is still in school to answer the call of Coach Herman McGrath and Captain Charles Shionis, further improvement is expected this season. Last year, under the leadership of one of Tech's greatest student-athletes, shortstop Angie Toyias, and featuring Gino Mastrobattista at second, Pete Sales at third, Charlie Jacobs in left field, Don Flynn in center, Charlie Shionis in right, Mike Buras and Bob Roberts on the mound, and Bob Dolan behind the plate, the Tech squad compiled a winning record of nine victories and six losses. The season started most auspiciously, as the Buff and Blue won seven of its first eight games. Then after a loss to Commerce, the team went into a tail- spin and dropped most of the ball games on the last part of the schedule, tri- umphing over only Jamaica Plain and our traditional rival, Boston Trade. Yet the early part of the campaign had been so successful, that our nine ended the season with one of its best records since the days of Captain Joe Reardon, now property of the Boston Braves.

G: High 11 Washethall Under the careful supervision of Coach William Powers, the Tech hoop- sters ended the “1952” basketball season with many brilliant court victories to their credit. Captain Nicholas Adams became scorer of the city this year, amass- ing a total of 275 points in fourteen games. The first two games of the season were lost to Dorchester and Latin Schools, but the team came back in the third game to beat the tough Roxbury Memorial five, 44-39. Following this game, wins were registered over Commerce, Trade, and English High Schools. In the English game, with only five seconds remain- ing in the final period, Feeley of Technical scored to bring Tech out on top, 42-41. The season’s record was one of six wins and eight losses.

The puck chasers from Scotia Street opened the season with a bang by dumping Commerce High, 6-1. The next week Tech waited until the third period to unleash six goals against Memorial and turn the game into a rout, winning 6-1. The Buff and Blue stayed in the victors’ column the following week by racking up a 4-3 win over English. Still undefeated but off their usual form, the Technicians were held scoreless by the Black and Red from Dorches- ter, because Dorchester’s goalie was able to turn back Ralph Deleo’s attacks, causing the game to end in a 0-0 deadlock. However, the boys bounded right back the following week, when goals by Deleo and Murphy in the third period gave Tech a 2-0 win over a favored Boston Latin, leaving Tech the only un- beaten team in the city. East Boston took on Tech the next Saturday morning in a non-league game, but ‘Vech’s Ralph Deleo again came to the front as he scored five goals in our 6 to 4 victory over the East Boston sextet. The last Boston _Gonference League game for Tech saw the loyal fans of Tech swarm to the Arena by the, hundreds to see Tech put away a determined but inept Trade team by the score of 10-0. The Buff and Blue sextet were invited to play in the Metropolitan Tourney which decides the state championship. However, the team was unable to coop- erate with Ralph Deleo, and Tech suffered its first defeat of the season, losing to Malden High, 3-2, in the opening round of the elimination contest. The Captain-elect for the 1953 season is Ralph Deleo, to whom we all wish the best of luck and the hopes for another city championship. Ralph was the highest point scorer in the city, piling up 24 points. The graduating lettermen are Capt. John Sturniolo, Russell Lashua, James Snow, Robert Shanahan, Edward Enos, and James Mellont. pach In its day Tech has had many outstanding track teams which have brought back to her halls a great number of trophies, but none has given our school greater honor or a better show of sportsmanship than this year’s team. John Powers, the captain of the team, has been an inspiring example for the rest of the team with his drive and stamina. After Dick Tatum’s marvelous run at the Fargo Meet in which he tied the world’s record for the sixty-yard dash in flat shoes in 6.5 seconds, Tech headed into the North- eastern Meet. Dick ran the fastest 300 yards ever recorded at the Garden in a record-breaking time of 32.9 seconds. John Leary also made a good showing, but English High’s team proved too much for our comparatively small team. Two weeks later the State Meet was held at the Garden but once again English High’s strong track team came out on top. In the National Schoolboy Interscholastic Meet at Madi- son Square Garden, Tatum ran the fastest quarter mile of the day in 51.7 sec- onds, but ran into traffic difficulties in the final heat and finished third. This year’s Regimental was one of the most thrilling in the history of this meet, with Latin defeating English by one and a quarter points. Technical’s Louis Sheedy starred for our team by winning the Class C 50-yard dash in 5.8 seconds to set a new record. Tatum set a record in the Class A 440-yard run with a time of 54.4. For his extraordinary running he will receive the Gridiron Club trophy for the most outstanding track athlete of the year. Under the skillful guidance of Coach McGrath, the track team has _ pro- gressed to championship form and will be seeking top honors in the outdoor State Meet this year. Good luck to Coach McGrath and his hard-fighting track squad. Top Row: DiGregorio, Campanella, Zimmerman, Shirley, W.

Carrying on as best it could, the team compiled a record of three victories and six defeats. This was the poorest season ever for a Tech tennis team, but there were a few bright spots in the picture. The arrival to form of Lembertas, Ziznaus- kas, Vaitkevicius, and Brickus, the doubles play of Auns and Winitzer, and the general spirit and morale of the squad pleased Mr. Golden. The outlook for this year is somewhat better. Captain Winitzer has a squad of experienced players who love the game and are eager to avenge last year’s defeats. They wilt have their work cut out for them as most of the schools will be stronger next year. If hard work is any criterion of suc- cess, this squad should win handily. Let us wish them and Mr. Golden the best of luck for 1952. Goll The outlook for the golf team is good. Captain Tom Meeham of IV-B has a large and enthusiastic squad of players. Judging from the material which reported for fall practice. Tech should have a good team for ’52. There are some very promising freshmen, particularly Charles Hannon of I-H. The letter men from last year include Lawrence Paul, Jack Marr, Joseph Mirsola, Dick O’Brien, Frank McKeen, and Ed Duggan. Golf as a sport at Technical has increased in popularity. More boys are reporting each year for this fine game which contributes so much to the development of the individual. Tech has been knocking at the cham- pionship door for many years. Let us hope Mr. Golden will have a very successful season. Back Row: O’Brien, McKeen, Mirisola. Front Row: Duggan, Mr. Golden, Coach, Capt. Meehan.

Graduates of the school will be pleased to learn that Military Drill is still under the direction of General Vincent Breen, who is assisted by Colonel Vennochi. The general, a hero of world war one, who has been drill master at Technical High since 1927, reports that it has been a very good year with all third and fourth year companies in top condition. He has already picked Arthur DeCourcy as potentially the best captain of the year. In the past Tech has taken many prizes in the annual Schoolboy Parade and we expect to be among the top-notch units again in May. Good luck and continued success to the general and his officers when parade time rolls around, not only this year but also every year in the future. According to Mr. Sordillo, the very capable director of the Band, and according to Mr. Fucillo, his able assistant, our band is as good as ever. This is saying a great deal, for Technical High School has always been among the leaders in band competition, often offering new routines to pep up the already snappy marching of our boys. Technical High School bandsmen are unique, inasmuch as most ol them are so interested in their unit that they have purchased their own in- struments. So good are these bandsmen that four of them have been selected to play in the Boston School Symphony Band. These outstanding boys are Segal, Sears, Ronald Ludington, and Costa Samargedelis. Ludington, our answer to Harry James, was a soloist in the Symphony Band's annual concert at Jordan Hall. Mr. Sordillo assures us that Ronald is the best school boy trumpeter in the city. We have enjoyed our band not only in parade but also in the many assemblies that we have been privileged to listen to it, and the Christmas parties that we enjoyed during the holiday season found boys like Luding: ton, Sears, Samargedelis, and others contributing their share to bring Christ- mas spirit to the individual classrooms.

As its name indicates, the Corps consists of boys who play the bugle and the drums. While playiug, they march in a variety of intricate formations which they have mastered under the tutelage of their captain. The Corps has set a high standard of marching performance in the schoolboy parade and on prize drill day, and it is seldom that it is not among the winners in interscholastic competitions. rum rll Bugle Conps mere = ii Fas eee oe poet Bk Fa ed eee THE GENERAL “GO IN THERE AND WIN BOYS” TATUM, MAHONEY, LEARY, AND POWERS TATUM BREAKS THE RECORD FOR THE 300 NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY MEN AND WOMEN ADMITTED TO ALL COURSES College of Liberal Arts College of Engineering College of Business Administration School of Law (Day and Evening) School of Business (Evenings) College of Liberal Arts (Evenings) ALL CURRICULA OFFER BROAD TRAINING FOR LIVING AND EARNING A LIVELIHOOD Registration Early in September — Early application is necessary CO-OPERATIVE PLAN SCHOLARSHIPS SELF-HELP OPPORTUNITIES FOR CATALOG — MAIL THIS COUPON AT ONCE NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY Director of Admissions Boston 15, Massachusetts Please send me a catalog of the [] College of Liberal Arts f_] Evening—College of Liberal Arts J College of Engineering 7 Day Pre-Medical Program m College of Business Administration = Day Pre-Dental Program [ School of Law = Day Pre-Legal Program | Evening School of Business Evening Pre-Legal Program TN RIU E aesesicicesnsssszncansguspancessazssO9iztaspsvouss pea uacae eoeesteacsas te uses ecto cals ec a eoe resect bel gest tase eta ag aes eect te IE ae ee eee ; Address .... ; wesc mas cee avons eac bce nearer Pons boedeen cs naka ae none ousev = ASeUen vance pave ocaiag veda sada sca ebaa tbs cf OSes catuks aes estan ae cose mee eae cee RE eo ee OF A 51 H-59 (Street) (City or Town) (P.
