ROBERT COSTA Our Editor-in-Chief At last, after several months of arduous but gratifying work, the Yearbook Staff has produced for your enjoyment and remembrance always the 1954 edition of the “Technician.” Each of the members of the staff has devoted his time and ability to bring you what we hope is the best Yearbook that Technical High has ever produced. We also hope that this Yearbook will become the most prized possession of your library and that in later years it may serve to bring you back fond recollections of Boston Tech. During the production of this Yearbook there were many problems to be overcome, just as there will now be many problems facing you graduates as you enter this world and follow your professions. At Technical you have received one of the finest edu- cations possible. Use this education wisely to become the citizen that your parents, your school, and your community expect. Carry high the traditions that you have been taught at Boston Technical High, and if you do you will become eminently successful in all your future endeavors. See or CLs fficers ROBERT MUNROE, President. LEO ELLIS, Vice-President. JOHN SCANLON, Secretary. JOHN JOYCE, Treasurer. This year’s election for senior class officers featured many campaign posters and spirited speeches. When the balloting was finished and the votes were counted, four of the ablest officers in any school were chosen to lead our class through the last year at “Tech’’. For President, Robert Munroe, one of the most popular students in the senior class and the school, won the most coveted position at Tech. Bob, an honor student and track letterman, was elected for the second year, as he was junior president in 1953. Leo Ellis defeated three other candidates to win in the post of Vice- President. Leo is an Editor on the “‘Artisan”’ and belongs to all the social committees. John Scanlon easily won the position of class Secretary. In addition to being the star center on our football team, John is also a member of t he student council and all the social committees. The fourth position, that of class Treasurer, was won in a close battle by John Joyce. A former runner on the track team, John is also a cadet officer, and a member of the Yearbook staff. Headmaster Dy, not be content att He rnp Pate: Seas ees As you leave, carrying with you the memories of Technical High School, I extend to you my sincerest wishes for a happy and prosperous future. Until now your lives have been lived in ordered cal m, largely under the guidance of parents and teachers. But soon you will be on your own. Whatever your goal, whatever your field of endeavor may be in industry, business, or the professions, your success will be in your own hands. Set your sights high. Do not be content with the mediocre. If your choice of a vocation is the proper one and you are willing to make every effort to attain it, your future is assured. You carry with you my hopes and prayers for success in all that you undertake. Phon= Mbeol berate Whites Tk Dyan Ov Dl bicit on VM. Pe R Reve We, the Class of 1954, take great pleasure and pride in dedicating our Yearbook, “The Technician,” to Mr. Arthur R. Racine, our esteemed friend and a very highly regarded teacher. We have selected Mr. Racine because he has captured the admiration of the entire senior class through his un- selfish devotion to our school, and we believe that he should be justly recog- nized for the fine work he has done over these many years. Mr. Racine began his teaching career in 1911 at Rugby Military Acad- emy in New Orleans, Louisiana. Returning to Massachusetts in 1916, he taught at B. M. C. Durfee Htgh School in Fall River. Then in 1921 he came to our school, Boston Technical, and he has been here ever since, teaching modern languages to our boys. We have chosen him not only because of the human quality of his teaching but also because of the lovable character that he possesses and that we all appreciate. We wish you the best of luck, Mr. Racine, and in the coming years may you have all the happiness and success that you so richly deserve. Thy the Chews, off (OR Although it has been a great satisfaction to me to have made the acquaintance of many fine students in the Mechanic Arts-Boston Technical High School during the many years that I have taken part in the work of the school, I have often been impressed by the progress of a large number of mem- bers of the Class of 1954. As far back as two and three years ago, I had an unusually favorable impression of the future possibilities of you young men of 1954. Through my optimistic observation of many of you future graduates and representatives of our school, there may have arisen an unforeseen bond of sympathy between you and the old language teacher, who has enjoyed having many of you in his classes. A pleasing culmination of this period of good relations with your class is your dedication to me of the Yearbook for 1954. Were I to call on some additional language to assist me, I should still be unable to express adequately my appre- ciation and thanks to the Class of 1594, to all of whose mem- bers I extend the best of wishes for the years that lie ahead.

Let us pull out our crystal ball and peer into the darkness of the past. September, 1950, found us entering as trembling freshmen. One can- not help buckling at the knees when he first views our huge building. Kind teachers herded us into the spacious lunchroom where we were swiftly as- signed to our various divisions. Then the fun began! For two days we did northing but fill out information cards. Will we ever forget our first week of wondering? We wondered what was wrong when archeologists had Lee C.

There was another minor party which did influence the vote somewhat. This was known as the special math group. What a battle!

The boys work diligently to develop skill in free- hand sketching and water coloring. From the drawings submitted by the members of the Art Club are selected the covers for our school magazine, “The Artisan,” and the designs for the Athletic Association buttons. This club provides an excellent opportunity for talented students to develop their artistic abilities. Undoubtedly this course will prove to be very worthwhile, in later years, to graduates who have been members of it, for many of the members go forth to continue their studies in art schools throughout New England, and several have taken their places among the prominent artists of today. Cl ASS [bani Y Tired and winded from my last-minute dash to the station, I hurriedly climbed aboard the Commuters’ Special and took my usual place in the smoker. Just as I was about to collapse ‘in the plush cushion of the New Haven train, Robert “Punchy” Fitzsimmons, the conductor, asked for my ticket. When he punched it, I opened the paper which I had hastily pur- chased at Hughes’ and Van Schelt’s Pharmacy and glanced at the headlines.

First row: Strazdas, Woronoff, Zubrzycki, Pathiakis, Siegel, Munroe, Costello, Worswick, Delani, Taylor. Our “Artisan” is always among Boston’s best school magazines. Mr. Resnick again proved himself to be a very capable and worthy literary ad- viser as he worked with the “Artisan” in that capacity for his second year. The staff was headed by Gerald Siegel. Among our successful writers were James Norris, John Pathiakis, and Felix Zubrzycki. These and the rest of our staff produced three of the best “Artisans” that our school has ever seen. As usual, Mr. William Powers gave his valuable assistance to us as the business adviser; and a new art adviser, Mr. Rosenthal, succeeded Mr. Nichols, who retired last June. My jaw dropped, for in the headlines were the words: “New Boston Technical High School to be dedicated today. Mayor Robert Munroe will lay the cornerstone at 1.30 this afternoon.” While I was recovering from the shock, my three poker companions, John Jouce, treasurer of The Bucknam Finance Corporation; Felix Zubrzy- chi, head chemist at Hebb’s Research Laboratories; and Ed Cromer, test pilot for Interplanetary Travel, approached me. Sitting down, John said, “Have you seen the paper this morning? They've finally finished ‘Tech’ and I hear it’s going to be co-ed.” Coulter.

According to the boys in it, the new director, Mr. Garmiss, is an unusually competent instructor, and he is getting along extremely well with the band during his first year. Our band has always been among the best in schoolboy competition, and this year the boys again proved to be no exception to the rule by placing first in a contest sponsored by Filene’s Department Store during the Christ- mas weekend. “Yes, they finally did, and in record time,” I said. “T guess the Riley Construciion Company used those new ‘sky hooks’ made by the Schwartz Utility Company,” Felix interrupted. “T think I'll take some time off this afternoon,” said John, “and go over to the dedication. Fred Young, Robert Washburn, Edward Ryan, Eugene Lewis, and Robert Duggan said they would all be there.

The Camera Club meets in Room 23 during the weekly activity periods. The boys are under the supervision of Mr. Webster, who encourages them to bring in their cameras and other photographic equipment. The students receive instruction in the theory and operation of many kinds of photographic apparatus, and are given help in preparing work for contest entries. This year, considerable work is being done in stereoscopic photography. We hope the experience that the boys have gained will be useful to them later in their many fields of endeavor. ‘stretch’ anyway.” As the train sped along, I continued reading the paper. Among the news items on page two was this: “Boston, Massachusetts: Captain John Campedelli of the ‘S. S. K.

Among the various extra-curricular activities of our school will be found a quiet, hard-working, and rather strong Chess Club which holds its _practice sessions on Wednesdays and Fridays in the library. When Mr. Racine took over Room 17, last September, he became custodian of the be- longings of the Chess Club which have been kept during the past few years by Mr. Menzel, his predecessor. Mr. Racine inherited the managerial re- sponsibilities of the club along with its equipment. He says that the club will be able to present strong opposition in club tournaments by next year. The club is composed largely of rooky players who will be much im- proved in another year. They have lacked the steadying influence of oppo- sition and experience in their few tournaments held so far, but have still been successful, winning the first one handily, and losing the second by a high score, but barely losing the last two matches. manned the half-inch pop-gun, and after a bloody skirmish, hit the bird amidship.

This year, the Corridor Patrol, under the very careful supervision of Mr. Secondo Mazzuchelli, has functioned better than ever. The co-chairmen are Michael Brisky and Leo Ellis, who keep a close watch on the boys who make up the patrol. Since the boys who volunteer for patrol duties have the good of the school at heart, they show fine spirit and efficiency. The patrol has its men stationed throughout the building in places that may be dangerous, such as stairs and doorways. The efficiency of the school largely depends on the cooperation between the students and the patrol. for the fifth consecutive day, Chico Worswick of the New York Yankees struck out four times to break the world’s record for strikeouts in. consecu- tive games. However, Technical was well represented in the Big Six with Robert Gosse, 420; Bernie Lynch, 415; Joe Meany, 407; Pete Genaris, 397; and Dick Crispi, 389.

At 8.30 there would be Robert Coulter, the non-comical comedian with his great show, “Please Laugh’: at 9.00 there is the George Roman “I’m Not Crazy Show”; and at 10.00 a very important nationwide broadcast of that famous speech by the warld renowned veterinarian Paul Costello, Z.

Each Wednesday and Friday a group of thirty-five boys meet to learn the fundamentals of good driving. This class has been under the direction of Mr. Louis DeGiacomo for the past seven years. The course complies with the rules and regulations of the Registry of Motor Vehicles. The boys are addressed by guest speakers and subjected to testing apparatus designed to increase their knowledge of safe and careful driving. When the course of study has terminated, each pupil is given a written Highway Safety Test. If he is successful in this examination, the oral section of his driving test is omitted. We know that through careful observance on the part of our boys of what they have learned in this class, many accidents will be pre- vented. The train finally reached South Station and my companions and I stepped down to the platform. When we reached the lobby, I exchanged brief farewells with them and hurried across the street to Kelly’s Cut-Rate Restaurant for my breakfast. At the “hashery” I met John Lally, manager of the World Champion Boston Red Sox. He gave me two sky-view tickets to the game that night. Tim Dacey and Dick McGonagle were facing each other on the mound, im the final game for the pennant.

This organ- ization consists of a group of boys who play their drums and bugles while they march in a variety of complicated formations. They have learned these pleasing maneuvers under the leadership of their captain. On Prize Drill Day, the Corps gives the other students an excellent per- formance, as its members go through their many movements accompanied by their expert playing.

Friday night, November 27, found the students of Tech gathered in the very beautiful and spacious Charter Room of the New England Mutual Building. The event? A very special one; the annual Buff and Blue Harvest Dance and it turned out to be a very happy occasion. Sweet music, supplied by Duke Martini’s Band, filled the hall as many handsome couples whirled away a wonderful evening. The lights were dim, the music enchanting, the partners glamourous. For refreshments punch was served to the delight of the couples, and although the dance was in- formal it had all the pomp and dignity of a formal party. Credit for the complete success of the dance goes to the committee, who under the guidance of Mr. Holland, worked so hard to make the evening an enjoyable one. oe ee ee department down on the forty-third floor.

This year, as never before, the school library has been in constant use by the students of Technical High as an efficient center for their collectings of intellectual materials. The library has also served us well by showing edu- cational films regularly, which indeed, is a benefit, as well as entertainment, for us. We thank our superb librarian, Mrs. Cogghill, for her splendid job in bettering the standards of the Tech library. More books are being added, more pupils are using the library, and the room itself is one of the most attractive libraries in the entire city. Mrs. Cogghill is aided by an ambitious library corps, headed by Ken G. Chin, now a senior of Tech High. ry; I would talk to these customers myself. Today, I remembered, was the day I was supposed to inspect the new printing shop up on the seventy-third floor. When I entered the department, David Cronin, the foreman, volunteered to show me around. At the front of the shop stood Nick Falcione, who was operating the paper cutter. Next, in the bindery, was the folder which Gerald MacKay was running with the help of Mario DiBisceglia. Then Dave showed me the composing room, where the type was set. There were five linotype machines Lunch Patrol Third row: Doherty, Amico, Cipriano, Fahey, Cerece, Dicey, Raffa. Second row: Weatherbee, Chin, Auns, McDonald, Gundal, Van Schelt, Smith, Mr. Mower. . First row: McGonagle, Scanlon, Gussman, Strachan (Chairman), Kelly, Cavanaugh, Lamberti, Schiffman. The Lunch Patrol, known to all students as the ‘‘T” service, is under the excellent supervision of Mr. Mower. This organization consists of a select group of boys who devote their free time to help keep our school cafeteria functioning properly. The Patrol is divided into three sections: the cashiers, whose job it is to sell lunch checks before school and during the lunch period; the counter boys, who help the women sell the food; and the main body of the patrol, each of which is assigned to a table to watch and to keep clean. These boys really do an amazing job considering the large number of students who eat in our cafeteria. The Lunch Patrol is really efficient and is worthy of our commendation. being run by Fred Contestabile, John Pathiakas, Francis Tobin, Leslie Shapiro, and Brewster Thorburn. The three monotype machines were be- ing operated by the old masters Anthony Indrisano, Frederick Douglass, and Carl Wolfrum. The next room we entered was the pressroom, where William Marsh and Dennis Twomey were each running a Kelly No. 1, while over on the other side of the room John Katibian, Charles Marcinkevicius, and Leonard Mockapetris were each running Little Giants. All the presses were brand new and seemed to be running smoothly. We then dropped into Model Auto Club Second Row: Brennan, Lally, Flynn, Keane, Antonucci, Ward, Mr. Campbell. First Row: Defazio, McGonagle, Costa, Indrisano, Worswick, Thomas. Every Wednesday and Friday afternoon the Model Auto Club meets in Room B-2. The faculty adviser for this very popular club is Mr. Campbell, who supervises the boys while they build model cars and frigates. These different models are products of the boys’ own skill in designing and craftsmanship. The frigates are models of famous ships, exact to the most minute details. The model cars are swift graceful automobiles, built to express their young designers’ ideas of the cars of the future. The big event of the year for these boys comes in June, when they sub- mit their cars to the General Motors Company in Detroit for evaluation in the annual Fisher Body Craftsman’s Guild Competition. Their models are judged with those entered by boys from every state in the nation. Generally our boys do very well in this contest, and win a large share of the many prizes and cash awards. the proofroom for a second to see Thomas Coyne, Robert Desbiens, and Rudolph Shiffer, who were proofreading.

The faculty adviser for this activity is Mr. Alf Munnick, who is exception- ally well-qualified to instruct such a class since his own hobby is modeling boats. The members of this club do all the work themselves from the actual design and blue print stage up to the finished sleek lacquered models. At the end of the year, those boys who have been fortunate enough to have completed a model sailboat or plane, have the opportunity of entering it in several contests which are open to high school students such as the Charles River Model-Yachters’ Competition in the Charles River Basin. mittee. ; The crowd, made up mostly of unemployed alumni, entered the build- ing. As I entered, I picked up a leaflet and scanning the pages, I read that the school was designed by Alconada, Leon, Beard, and Nagle, Architects, Inc.

The highest honor that Boston Technical High School can bestow upon any member of the student body is membership in the National Honor So- ciety. There are at present eleven boys who are privileged to belong to this Society and to wear its gold lapel pin. They are Donald Antonucci, Kenneth Chin, John Cooke, Robert Costa, Robert Crosby, Paul Donato, Robert Mun- roe, John Riley, Louis Sheedy, Robert Van Schelt, and Felix Zubrzycki. The pupils elected to this group are nominated by their teachers and are evaluated by a Faculty Committee consisting of Mr. Van Ham, Mr. E. Powers, Mr. Bowes, Mr. Warren Moran, and Mr. Gibbons. The final dtermination is based on qualities of Character, Scholar- ship, Leadership, and Service to the school. McCabe Chemical Supply House. When I had finished reading, I followed Joe Clifford, the head coach, who showed me the new swimming pool and gymnasium. As I looked at the pool, I thought that if we had had this facility fifteen years before, “‘Tech” would probably have had the state championship swim team. I didn’t stay long at the pool because Joe was anxious to show me the new gym, which “Tech” had lacked for so many years. It contained a court which could be subdivided into two courts and the facilities to seat a thou- Oe h es tra Roman, Young, Schailler, Tamkin, Munafo, Kelley, Tamer, Norton, Coulter, Leon, Muldoon. Our very fine orchestra has contributed greatly to the enjoyment of both teachers and students during the past assemblies. It is under the ex- cellent supervision of Mr. Houlihan, whose guidance has made our orchestra a strong competitor with the Boston Pops. Included in our orchestra are some excellent individual musicians. They are Robert Seastrom, Richard Norton, and Edgar Schailler. We extend our appreciation to the orchestra and assure it that we will remember its golden tones for many years to come. sand people. After seeing the pool and gym I was very much pleased and decided to walk around the school in the time I had left and before the speeches in the auditorium. The first thing I sought was the beltless machine shops, and as I entered, Dick Strachan, head of the department, approached me and began to show me around. The machines were spotless one hundred speed lathes, drill presses, shapers, planers, and grinder combinations, and there was one for Third row: Cavanaugh, Antonucci, Strazdas, Woronoff, Sanda, Doyle, Shiffer, Antonucci, Indrisano, Alconada.

The Class of 1954 will never forget its most important social event of the year, the Class Prom. Longwood Towers, with its impressive appear- ance and wonderful dance floor, was the spot chosen for our prom and here we passed a joyous and beautiful evening on Friday, May 7. It was truly our night, and everyone looked so handsome and dignified that we could hardly believe that we had been going to school with the same fellows. Nowhere could there be found more lovely or beautiful girls, with their glamorous gowns, than those we had in our arms as we waltzed away the last dance of our high school career. While not dancing we were seated comfortably in the plush chairs in the upstairs lounge or were busy having our pictures taken. Then all too suddenly the dance came to a close, to be written on the “tables of our memories” forever. every student. In the woodworking shops, I was relieved to see that there were no amphitheatres for the pupils. What was even more important, there was a large supply of stock, which was always lacking when we were boys. After I had seen the shops, I went to the chemistry lab where I found Lennie “the Molecule’ Woronoff working on his three-foot slide rule. He was trying to find the number of Na and Cl ions in the Atlantic Ocean. When I approached him, he turned and offered to accompany me to the hall.

The Student Council, now under the guidance of Mr. Bowes, who re- placed Mr. Harrison as faculty adviser, is a much valued part of our school organization. This important group consists of the chairmen of the indi- vidual classrooms, elected during the early part of the school year, and also of the representatives of each important activity. As most organizations have their own elected officers, so too does our Student Council. Officers are Louis Sheedy, President; Joseph Ahern, Vice- President; and Paul Costello, Secretary. The Student Council has done an excellent job in conducting the various school activities, for example, the Student Activity Fund. Ed dd aad dal eeeieneee We took the new Crosby escalator which brought us to the fourth floor and I entered the spacious auditorium to take a seat on the main floor. The seat was cushioned and very comfortable in comparison with the old ones . However. hanging on the wall behind the stage was the old Technical High banner and the oil portraits of Dr. Parmenter and Mr. Morrison as they had hana for so long before in the old school hall. Then in a subconscious reverie, I could see myself fifteen years before, standing on what anpeared to be the same stage in front of the hall, delivering this “Class Prophecy.” MISS CARNEY GIVES FIRST AID OUR GUIDANCE COUNSELORS CaO Tee SWIMMING POOL Monoay thru THhurespAyY _— — poe | OES Jf F COOVBAuL J BASE B As WRAKR BASKET BML COB RlOCKEy Ferrus. —S ... —— McGONAGLE Basketball Hockey MAHONEY AND NAPPI Football Wie ote. @ gennle a ete, ra Sm ; cali 4 ie % Second Row: Smith, Moccia, Bradley, Mr. Wall.

They have an entire veteran infield returning. The outfield probably will be held down by big John Sullivan in left field, fast-moving Bob Gosse in center, and Lefty Bill McCabe in right. In 1953, Technical had an impressive record of eleven victories against only three losses. The fighting nine was aggressive, and most of all, a team that never quit, for the boys came from behind seven times to win. After their exceptional season, the conference coaches picked Bennie Telizewski and Frank Higgins to represent Technical High in the Boston All-Star vs. Catholic All-Star game. The Tech nine will be looking forward to a championship club for 54. Captain Chico Worswick will be back at the hot corner for his third con- secutive year. To cover the ground around second and shortstop will be veterans Paul Zagami and Ron Moccia. Holding down first base will be Charley Bergin. John Murphy will be behind the plate. Newcomer Gil Smith should turn into a fine prospect for the future. Coached by Mr. Thomas Wall, formerly a player of note himself, the team in 1953 was the best since the days of Joe Reardon and his Conference Champions.

Every game was a close one with the exception of the two against English High, which is a strong favorite to win the Tech Tourney. Tech can be justifiably proud of its high-scoring center, Charlie Marcin- kevicius, who amassed a total of 201 points in twelve games to become the third high scorer in the league. The team was assisted off the backboards by “Una” Regan, the league’s eighth high scorer, and Eddie Gates. The two important guard positions were held by Tom Mahoney and Jimmy Harris. Mr. William Powers again proved to be a very able coach. The graduates of this year’s team are Charlie Marcinkevicius, Captain “Una” Regan, Tom Mahoney, John Murphy, and Manager Bob Costa. We wish good luck to Mr. Powers and his team in the future. 1954 SEASON’S RECORD Technical 36 B. G.

Dhl Technical High’s football squad plaved their ’53-’54 season with many complications and changes. The first very important switch was that of the coaches. Mr. McGrath was forced to retire after having coached for nine successful years. His fine spirit will always remain instilled in the minds of all those who played under him. Coach John Morris, former B. C. end under Gil Dobie, took over the reigns and immediately brought about the second major switch, that of operating from the ‘“‘T” instead of the “Single Wing” formation. Changes of this type take time to perfect. However, a constant improvement was felt as the season progressed. Almost the entire team was made up of the previous year’s J. V.’s with the exception of our spirited Co-Captains, John Nappi and Tom Mahoney. Tim Dacey, a 1952 All-Boston end, was held back from burning up the league by a serious ankle injury. However, Tim did manage to put in a good season. in spite of his injury. Charlie Marcinkevicius played the other end, while George Kiritsis, Joe Sullivan, and Tom Meaney did a swell job in at tackles. Lou Sheedy, who by the way, was the top scorer of the team, outran his tacklers eight times for T. D.’s. All of our extra points were uniquely scored by our drop-kick artist, quarterback, Gill Smith, who revived the ancient art of the drop-kick. Fine running and blocking were turned in by the other backs, Muzzulli, Latorre, and little Moccia. Football Tech had the honor of placing two outstanding players, Richard McGon- agle and Gilbert Smith on the Boston Post All-Boston Team, while John Scanlon was picked as the Boston Traveler’s All-Boston center. Joe (Fly) Casella, who received a very serious break in his thigh during the first game of the season, will always be remembered by every one of his teammates as “the smallest kid with the biggest heart,” because of his un- daunted spirit even during his long stay in the hospital. The entire graduating class wants to wish every bit of luck to the able Coach Morris at his newly appointed position. However, we know that his future success will be inevitable, with the cooperation of his two fine assist- ants, Mr. Campbell and Mr. Kilroy, for he has laid his foundations deep and well. 1953-54 SEASON’S RECORD Technical Za ee ee eee ee aiaicCaseiain 13 Technical OR eee et oe Lon 52 Technical Aree ee eno lish 19 Technical 20 Ree ee eee eee Oo nton 0 Technical Ope ee ee S08 DOStON 19 Technical Zia een eee ee ROXbDUry Memorial = 20 STARTING LINEUP Second Row: Ahearn (Manager), Sheedy, Conlon, Wentzel, Smith, Muzzolli, Moccia, DiGregorio (Manager). : First Row: Dacey, Mills, McGonagle, Nappi (Captain), Scanlon, Reid, Marcinkevicius, Third row: Gaudet, MacAuJay, Ward, Costa, McCabe, Jarasitis, Rowan.

The following week, Tech was handed its first loss in two years of league competition, at the hands of the new champion, Latin School, by a score of 3-1. Tech was up for the English game, knowing that any more de- feats would drop us in league standing, but although the boys in Buff and Blue put on a great game for three periods, they could not score, and the final count was 0-0. Dorchester was our next opponent, and the game was a scoreless affair until the third period when, with two of our men in the penal- ty box, Dorchester drove in two points. Our next game was against our rival, Trade School. John Lally tallied two goals for Tech while Trade was only able to score one. We met Dorchester for the second time and lost again 2-0. Against Memorial, Tech went to town, winning 6-1, with both John Lally and Captain McGonagle scoring twice. In the return match, Latin School scored only one goal for two periods, but with players in the Tech penalty box, Latin scored three goals to win 4-0. The following week we met English, and after being tied in the first game, Tech was out to win this one. Captain McGonagle scored the first goal on a beautiful shot which caught the corners of the cage. Mac also scored the second goal. English matched us goal for goal, and again we were forced to accept a deadlock. The final game of the season was against Trade. Bob McIntyre scored two goals and got an assist on another as we shut out our rivals, 4-0. In all, the hockey team had a good season, although losing the city championship for the first time in three years, for our lads both won and lost like champions. 1954 SEASON’S RECORD Technical 5 Roxbury Memorial 0 ' Technical 1 Latin 3 Technical 0 English 0 Technical 0 Dorchester 2 Technical 2 Trade - 1 Technical 0 Dorchester a Technical 6 Roxbury.

This defeat cost us the City Championship, but it was no disgrace, as the Latin team was ‘a veteran group of boys who broke 80 regularly. Charley Hannon covered himself with glory by downing Latin’s best player, who had not lost a match in two years. Guy Guarino, John Lally, Charley Hannon, Rudie Schiffer, John Kenney, and John Hanson formed the backbone of the team, which will once more be on hand in 1954 to take on all other squads. This year we have hopes of a championship team, as we are gunning for Latin School.

The city championships in June found Ronald Antonucci of Tech roll- ing over all opponents right down to the finals where he was at last defeated by David Josephs of Roxbury Memorial. The prospects for this year are excellent as the whole team has re- turned and promising material from the lower classes are certain to make the competition keen.

Ie! ov Gi Champions The culmination of the indoor track season was the winning of the coveted Regimental Crown. This victory was brought about by the inspiring leadership of our very capable coach, Mr. Joseph Carey, who is, incidentally, only in his second year as coach of Technical High. It would be impossible to mention all the fine boys who placed in the many meets. However, the seniors: Lou Sheedy, Bob Munroe, Bob Crawford, Fred Douglas, and Bernie Lynch, who were constant point scorers, contributed much to the defeat of the perennial Regimental champions of fourteen years, English and Latin. The Fargo meet gave Lou Sheedy his chance to set a new novice record for the sixty-yard dash and he did so in 6.5 seconds. In the B. A. A. meet, Bob Crawford placed fourth in the dash, while Lou Sheedy, Bob Munroe, Carlo Dipiersio, and Paul Guindon excelled in their specialties. The State meet saw Lou Sheedy place in the dash, Bob Munroe and Bob Crawford in the 300, and Walter Fairley in the 1000. Our Class A relay team was also in rare form. On February 18 Gene Thomas equalled the Class C dash record of 5.8 seconds and later broke it with a brilliant 5.7 seconds time. The indoor season has already closed and now we are looking forward with keen anticipation to an even more profitable outdoor season in the spring. With such a dependable squad we cannot help but score victories. i. Ps gas CAREER DAY LUNCHEON FOR GUEST SPEAKERS MR. DURNAN, MR. CHARLES SEWALL, AND MR. LAPIDUS Taalt i 7. DraFtsmen ntl f Me.
