Le Rick a Os ae Ths Dae PETER J. BISHOP Editor in Chief Here, recorded on these pages, are the accomplishments, large and small, of the Glass of 1957. Here, pictured for all time, are our great athletic teams, our activities, and the splendid men who have guided us wisely for four long years. Some things can- not be pictured; intangible things, such as the hard work entailed, the long assign- ments completed, the joys and sorrows that we have all experienced. I feel that our class has left a record of achievement that future classes will find hard to emulate. As we go our separate ways — to college, to work, into the armed services, let us strive always to keep a firm grasp on the values that we have gained here at Tech. In future years as we thumb through this Technician, we will recall it all, for our ex- periences are not to be forgotten. Ou Chis Offcars Wire... ROBERT BUCK Treasurer RONALD HALEY Secretary VINCENT BONO Vice President GERALD GALIZIO President Whlter a) seen (ibs OF LL) ere Db teed dire oh oo oe To each of you I extend my congratulations and my sincere wish for a happy and successful future. I have thoroughly enjoyed the past four years. You are members of a class distinguished for its loyalty. You have shown allegiance to your school, respect for her traditions, devotion to her ideals, constancy to her standards. Cherish this loyalty. Apply these sterling attributes in whatever field you labor and your life will be a good and rewarding one. Your BLiealnrasten Walter 3 Dipper WU are happy fordedicate the 1957 Se hnrian fotthiseikineael gentlemen a Mr. James W. Dailey is a graduate of Boston College High School and Boston College. He received both his bathelor’s and his master’s degrees at the latter and has taught mathematics exceptionally well here at Technical High School since 1952. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to have studied under his supervision have come to regard him as one of the finest teachers in the city. He developed mathematics not as a dry, mechanical subject but as one full of tricks and always in- teresting and he develops it in such a way that he imparts to his students some of his own love for the subject. Last year Mr. Dailey became Senior Class Advisor, a very difficult position, especially succeeding as he did, one of the best, Mr. David Rosengard. His firm yet fair and understanding counseling is known and respected by all. In his contacts with us he speaks our language and he really understands teenagers and their problems. The finest testimony to the management of his duties ts the one voiced by almost all of the seniors, “He’s a swell guy.” We are most happy to dedicate the 1957 Technician to this estimable gentleman. wie Most Sy Prost Wishes yy oavee To the class of 1957; I am deeply appreciative of the honor bestowed upon me by your dedication of this year-book. I realize, of course, that your ad- visor is one of the few teachers privileged to have a wide acquaintance among the entire class and that he is, in a sense, a symbol of your entire Senior faculty. In this capacity, I am pleased to accept your dedication. The rewards of the teaching profession, although apparently in- visible to most, are yet clear and definitely understood among us who have devoted our lives to it. In the eyes of any teacher, the reception of such a dedication as this would rank highly among those rewards. Still, to all your teachers, the greatest reward is the realization that your growth from boys of fourteen into young men of eighteen has been due partly to our training during your brief years at Technical High School. If the wealth of any nation is its youth, as has often been said, then the training of that youth must be a task vital to the well-being of the nation. It is my earnest hope that many of you will realize this need and will prepare to replace us in teaching and in other youth service work for the next generation. To each of you, I extend the most sincere best wishes in your chosen career. james W Dailey Vike “ Whlter =. Dee an @; ts tanding Ole: fer all a istinguished Clncntor GUNNAR MUNNICK EDWARD J.

On it we first entered Technical High as students. There must have been some attraction to the school, but it certainly wasn’t the building. We thought to ourselves, “Could the corner- stone be correct? Only 1893?” But we put aside our fears of the building crum- bling at our feet and surveyed our unique campus. We have one distinction. No other High School in the City of Boston can claim five miles of railroad track for a campus! Our Orientation Assembly gave us a break from classes. Here we met our new football coach, Mr. John Morris, who assured us that he would do his best for the school; yet we were not to realize his full coaching ability until our senior year when he produced his masterpiece. For the first year, we all chose (?) the same course. Such subjects as algebra, woodworking, drafting, and the like were introduced to us, and our infantile minds struggled to attain a creditable grade. Those who didn’t pass soon found their parents conspiring with the teachers during Open House Night. No sooner had our Christmas vacation ended, when on came the track sea- son. Under the capable coaching of Mr. Joseph Carey, Tech won the Indoor Reggies. Members of the squad, such as Sheedy, Svenson, and Lynch, helped pile up the points. In hockey, Coach Vic Campbell’s young team won over Trade twice to finish third in the league standings. Considering that Ralph DeLeo had graduated, Mr. Campbell did a superb job in rebuilding the team. In March, under the direction of the late Mr. Herbert Carter, we had our Career Day. The assembly and meetings were thoroughly enjoyed by everybody. The boys were shown the many opportunities in fields of technology. and research. With the coming of spring, Mr. Carey and his track team turned toward the outdoor picture and brought the Outdoor Reggies title back to Tech after a lapse of fourteen long years. At the end of June, we turned our backs on “the hallowed halls” and faced two long-awaited months of summer relaxation. Some industrious students tried their hands at saving money for their “dream car” while others lay on the beaches soaking up the sun. A small postal card reminded us it was once again September. This year our classes were divided into two groups, one group beginning at the annex and a second group entering the main building. At the annex, our program consisted of all academic subjects, which for the college course included French. Several more subjects were introduced to baffle us, such as geometry, biology, and drill. Mr. Harrison treated us to a regular diet of weekly films which kept us subdued. And who could forget “Doc” Moore! We were the last class to come under the good doctor. Another permanent fixture in our minds was General Breen and his haunting, “Obedience! 500 times! ! ” Upon trading our Egleston Square mansion for the Dalton Street habitat, forging was added to our schedule. Those who had visions of making phony money were greeted by a pair of tongs and a hammer. On e of the most educational assemblies of the year was the General Motors Assembly, held in February. Two representatives of this company illustrated the theory of hi-fidelity, micro-wave transmission, cooking by induction, and before our eyes, within minutes, made a form of synthetic rubber. The students throughly enjoyed the meeting and expressed their hopes of seeing more assem- blies of the same caliber in the future. In sports, Mr. Carey repeated with his track squad winning both the Indoor and Outdoor Reggie titles; some of the more consistent winners were Galizio, Bono, and Scott. . The Science Club had a better-than-average year by taking three of five first places at the Boston Public School Science Fair. At the M.I.T. State Fair and the N.E. Science Fair, Tech won a first place with Paul Valelli’s telescope. 50 Glas History Our summer vacation seemingly had hardly started when we were chained to the books again. Physics and a second language were handed out to the college course and were accepted with some choice words of disapproval. For those who remembered the forge shop as a dirty rock pile, the machine shop offered new nightmares. Tech’s football record of 3-5 was not much to be proud of, but who could forget the last game of the season? Tech was losing by one point with one second remaining and we were on the Trade 8-year line. Conlin passed complete to Lentini in the end zone for the pandemonium-producing touchdown! As winter set in, Mr. Campbell brought forth his hockey team which was to finish in second place with a record of 8-2-0. After placing five on the City All-Stars, Tech went into the State Tournament with high hopes. Danvers was a well-fought victory for us—3-0, but Malden Catholic proved too strong, top- pling Tech 5-1. Juniors such as Rowan, Sullivan, and John (‘“Shutout’’) Keane were instrumental in the team’s well-earned success in the City League. When the Motorama was brought to Boston, General Motors gave us an Opportunity to appraise our future cars, and also miss school for most of the day. It provided an interesting display for future automotive engineers while render- ing some entertainment for the other students. Mr. Gibbons posted the junior class ratings and we immediately stampeded to see if we were as stupid as the teachers had been telling us. Paul Munafo and George Moy placed first and second respectively in the battle of brainpower. Finishing up the year was the Junior Class Elections. After presenting their qualifications, Charles McCarthy, Roger Williams, and Robert Buck were elected class officers. We returned in September for our final year at old Tech. Apparently the teachers had not received the “no homework’ notice. In fact, it was just the contrary. Those in the college course got an average of six home lessons a night while the technical course suffered under three. We were hardly settled when the football season came in like a storm. Led by Captain Dan Sullivan, Mr. Morris’ boys rolled over all opponents save Latin. Although all the boys on the team were great, special notice should be given to Vin Bono, All-Scholastic and All-American guard; John Crowley, ‘Tech’s Most Valuable Player; Don Conlin; and Captain Dan Sullivan. The team finished second in the City League with a record of 6-1-0 During November, our Senior Class Elections were held. All the candidates campaigned well, and when the voting was finished, it was President—Gerry Galizio; Vice President—Vin Bono; Secretary—Ron Haley; and Treasurer—Bob Buck. It is interesting to note that three of the class officers were associated with the football team. Our sports program worked out very well, for we had one of the best winter and spring seasons in our history. The track and hockey teams did their usual outstanding job in bringing honor to Tech. The foremost social event of the year was the Senior Prom. Abandoning our dungarees for tuxedoes, we brought forth each man’s excuse for flunking—his girl. After dancing ’till twelve, we went to dinner at such places as the Meadows or Steuben’s. This was by far the most memorable event of the school year. On Class Day, we gathered in the hall to hear the reading of the Class Will, Class History, and Class Prophecy. Everyone made the most of the day as it would be our last social meeting as Tech boys. Graduation arrived and most of us attended in a state of shock. We anxi- . ously accepted our hard-earned diplomas while our parents and close friends looked on in wonderment. Those who were fortunate also received scholarships for various amounts which will help in furthering their education. It was truly a proud moment for all of us as our first goal was realized after twelve long years of study. The editors and staff of the Yearbook would like to express at this time their best wishes to the Graduating Class of 1957 and their thanks to everyone who in any way aided us in our years at Technical High. ai P rophec Y The small sign flashed red in the studio “On the Air.” A low voice broke the silence with slow and concise words. “Good evening, ladies and gentle- men,” it said, “this is your roving reporter, Dick Hohmann. I have just returned from the far reaches of the mysterious cockatoo country to be chairman of this debate between George Kent and Donald Johnstone, representing the affirmative and Richard Bryce and Gerald Brown, the negative. The subject is, ‘Will Bel- chertown be admitted to the Union?’ By the way, that reminds me of my Alaskan expedition in November, 1969. “On the thirty-sixth day of that month, I met Bob Troiano at the Chin and Chin, Ltd., Trading Post (the only one in that frozen land which gives green stamps). Troiano told me that he had been engaged in selling three-story igloos to the penguins until the day before my arrival. As he continued, I snatched up the latest edition of ‘Strife’ magazine and noticed that ‘Vin’ Bono and his all- polar bear chess team had just beaten Gerry Galizio’s woolly walruses in the championship match. We were both shocked, but after I regained consciousness, the conversation followed something like this: H. ‘What are you going to do now?’ T. ‘Oh! I’m being shipped North,to keep an eye on the Pole ’til the Joe Lentini Barber Company advises me as to whether or not they are going to send their crackerjack barbers, Buck, Billingham, Woodsworth, Henshaw, and Holm, up there to open a shop.’ H. ‘Tl be forged! .... But tell me, what ever happened to “Dutch” Holland and “Jack” Crowley?’ T. ‘Oh, they’re selling Christmas cards to the seals in order to send Tech’s principal, Phil Doucette with the beat, to New York to sing for that great band, Tosi’s Tom-Tom-Twelve. Some of the old guys are going too: George Welch with his crying sax, Herb Crook, who hopes he might get a chance to squeeze out a solo, and Paul Munafo with his wailing bass drum.’ H. ‘Look here at this “blufferin” ad in the magazine. Isn’t that Khacha- doorian with the distorted look on his face? .... And look there! It’s “Strife’s” all-star football team. I see “Chris” Ventre, “Don” Colin, “Dan” Sullivan, and “Digger” are all in it.’ T. “Take a look at the “Letters to the Editors.” There’s one from “Sam” Spirauskas asking art editor Bishop what that form on last week’s cover was supposed to represent.’ a2 P rophec Y H. ‘How about that? Look at the reply: “That was not an art piece but Vizgirda, in high buttoned shoes, wrestling with ‘Big’ John Orphanos”!’ T. “Turn to the news of the week so that I can see what’s been going on in the world. ... Ah! .... I see that Weiner has just had another book pub- lished. “Unconsciousness, the Key to Success.” . . . . And what’s this? “Bob” Rowan has just skated around the world and had nothing more to say than “Smarten up, boy.” ....Why!!.... Ill be! There’s a picture of Gayer playing center for the Alaskan Melties. ... By the way, what ever became of “Jerry” Widershien?’ H. ‘Oh, he’s just signed a contract to sing with the Metropolitan Opera Company under the “G.I.” Bill.’ T. ‘Is that sop....Isee here under Miscellany a picture of Rheault smash- ing atoms in his bare hands and Vallas catching the crumbs.’ H. ‘Look at that “Old Craw” beverage advertisement. In the picture isn’t that John Keane rustling gophers from his convertible?’ T. ‘Ya, it is, and on the back I see a picture of “Jim” Toller’s car of the far, far, far, way out there in the distant future .... You know Id like to know what’s the latest on the radio? Is “Sid” Shankle still spinning?’ H. ‘Oh, no! “Jolly Joe” Johnson, or is it Johannsson , or, I don’t know. Anyway, he’s been making a great hit with his lovely music for young lovers, and more recently with ‘Elvis’ Koenig’s latest platters such as “Love Nee Tender” and “Wake the Town and Sell the People” (otherwise known as “Inflation Strikes”) . .. . Station WBTHS has been featuring that great toe-tapper “Burt” Alleyne and his rhythm ‘n’ blues boys “Rick” Engdahl and “Pat” Palmisano.’ T. ‘Nice! .... And I suppose Goldman is still running for treasurer?’ H. ‘Still running!’ T. ‘Well, I see my dogsled is ready. Guess I’ll be on my way... . Take it easy, Dick, and don’t take any dooden wickles.’ Hey Ou beth Drive: slowly! “Well, ladies and gents, I see by the new clock on the wall that we won't have time for our debate, but it has been fun, hasn’t it? I always have such fun, fun, fun, when I talk. Good morning, panel, and good afternoon to you good listeners. Please tune in tomorrow at this same time for another exciting debate. The subject will be———— ‘Is Gambling a Risk?’ Bye now.” 3). Try fo Imagine Jack Crowley, “Say, fella, get your books.” Sean Flanagan, selling pizza in an after-hours joint in Burma.

CAMPBELL. ON THE MARCH. IV 2 18S ALWAYS RIGHT! NOTE THE SIDEBURNS. HEIL HERR SEININGER! i! Delbote: fo Whiss [spncclin Miss Lilian E. Bracelin passed away in February after serving as a secretary in our school for a lifetime. Faculty and students join in offering to her sisters and her family deepest sympathy. Her co-worker, Mrs. Robert Barry, pays her this tribute. Lilian E. Bracelin was born in the vicinity of our school. She started school at the Charles C. Perkins School on Saint Botolph Street. Her long term of service began here in October, 1913 — shortly after gradua- tion with honors from Mount Saint Joseph’s Academy in Brighton. -In 1927, she graduated from Portia Law School, second in the class. She opened a law practice at Newton Corner, and did a lot of title work after school hours. During World War ITI she worked as Secretary to Mr. Markham in charge of War Production Classes in this building. This meant working late at night, but she felt that she was contributing her bit for Uncle Sam. She served under the four Head Masters of the school—Dr. Parmenter, Mr. Morrison, Mr. Daley and Mr. Durnan. The school meant everything to her and she gave many extra hours whenever special tasks arose. She was always willing to help students even if it meant a personal sacrifice. She was thought highly of by all members of the Faculty at “Mechanic Arts’ and Boston Technical. One of her activities included the affairs of Women Lawyers. Possessed of a marvelous memory, she-could remember everyone and everything in connection with the school. Miss Bracelin went into the hospital on February first for a checkup expecting to be out in three days. The end came very suddenly on February fifteenth. However, it is believed that if she had had a choice, this would have been the way she would have wanted it. Enforced retirement because of ill health would not have appealed to her. Her life centered around her job, her family, and her church. After forty-three years in this school, she has gone on to her permanent home —toa rest well earned. We at Technical High School will certainly miss her for she leaves a place which seems impossible to fill. Faculty members and Alumni paid her a glowing tribute by appearing in a body at the Church Services and forming a Guard of Honor. We know that this would have pleased her. It was a fitting climax to a life dedicated to our school. May she rest in peace! 57, aReate we this will prove j 58 Hae ore bien Study ° 8 e L aye) ae rlisan Another project that Technical High is proud of is its school magazine, the “Artisan.” This publica- tion, produced by the students themselves, provides numerous opportunities for writing original short stories and poems. It not only reports on school assemblies and sports but covers all other school ac- tivities as well. This year’s “Artisan” is as good as ever, with Leslie Clark sas’ the literary editor, and Robert McCormick in the top managerial post. Under the leadership of Mr. Samuel Resnick in the literary department, Mr. Ralph Rosenthal in the art, and Mr. William Powers i n the financial depart- ment, the boys are helped in their writing, designing, and financing of the magazine. The magazine is written so well and is so interesting that it is always warmly received by the Columbia Scholastic Press Agsociation. 60 Third Row: Kent, Zickus, Kramer, Zimbone, McCabe, Cassidy.

Band The school band is a fine example of the skillful work of Mr. Houlihan, who has trained his young musicians to play like a professional musical group. Every year, the band has been able to compete with other bands in the city, playing different marches like experts, while keeping in precision cadance. The band has always been a prime favorite with students here. Our band plays at many school assemblies and also has many outside engagements, such as its appearances on Boston Common and at Filene’s on days of special importance. Because the band always performs admirably for the school ‘at Prize Drill and in the annual Schoolboy Parade, it wins many coveted awards. 61 Art Club The Art Club is an important member of our family of clubs, and is a good starting-point for many boys who wish to make places for themselves in the world of art. Under the experienced supervision of Mr. Ralph Rosenthal of the drafting department, the Art Club meets twice a week in Room A-3. There the members use their skills in water coloring, free hand drawing, pen and pencil work, and many other artistic tech- niques. The members of the Art Club draw the covers for the “Artisan”, supply its art work, draw posters for use in the school, help to produce the yearbook, and serve all sorts of useful purposes. 62 Third Row: Bishop, Chandler, McDonnell, Gouthro, Donahue, Moy, Fenderson, Horigan, Potts, Bortolotto.

For many years the Club has been directed by Mr. Harry Webster, an outstanding photographer himself, and meets twice a week for in- structions by means of discussion of the latest dis- coveries and developments in the photographic field. Sometimes, Club members bring their own pictures and photographic equipment to discuss them with Mr. Webster. Mr. Webster also points out the advantages and dis- advantages of the various types of cameras, so that the boys will be well informed when they shop for cam- eras and equipment. The Camera Club is not only one of the oldest of our organizations but is also one of our best. 63 Chess Club Under the able direction of Mr. Seiniger, our chess ‘team carries the school’s honor into the field of the “Game of Kings.” The team boasts many fine players, who form one of the top teams in the league. Their list of defeated foes includes such schools as Boston Latin, Newton High, and Cambridge Latin. They have only lost to one team, and that loss for a close match to perennial champion Brookline. The nucleus of our team was composed of six tal- ented seniors. Paul Munafo, Romas Venckus, Edmund Spirauskas, Frank Semedo, David Hasenfus, and Jos- eph Berinski. Backing these players was a group of five outstanding juniors: James Casalini, Edward Za- wacki, Robert Krekorian, Edward Aiello, and Ivan Callahan. This year was the finest that Tech has ever had. Our boys proved’ that Technical High is turning out some of the best chess minds in the city. Next year, the team should still be one of the best, due to our talented underclassmen. 64 Second Row: McCarthy, Weiner, White, Kal- kert, Wolfrum, Casperson, Billingham, Cohane, Slezas, Cunardi, Ennis, Davis.

Cuil Ap P bell The Civil Air Patrol Club, conducted by Mr. Steven Ricci and led by Alvin Hyman, is doing very well this year. It has forty members all of whom are much interested in the defense of this country. The purpose of the club is to emphasize the fact that we live in an air-minded age and that we must prepare for all eventualities. A basic knowledge of aviation in the world around us and a willingness to help preserve our liberties is the duty of all Amer- icans. The club is run with the cooperation of the Dor- chester Squadron of the Civil Air Patrol. 65 Glen Day (Sonar itee Third Row: Gianibas, Lydon, Yule, Prager, Gordon, Pozzi, McManus, Sliby, Bryce, Keane, Burns, Haley, Tosi, Vaughn, Goldman, Sim- At Technical High, Class Day has now become a mons, Williams.

General Wreon's (Comal fy AM The Corridor Patrol] is composed of boys who are willing to relinquish some of their study period time in order to be of real service to the school. General Breen, who is in charge of the Patrol, keeps in con- stant contact with the boys, directing the organization painstakingly. Some of the various duties of the patrol members are greeting visitors, aiding in disciplinary routine, and performing other important tasks which add greatly to the well-being of the school. Their help- ful work is indeed appreciated by Mr. Durnan and the faculty, for the efficient work of the Corridor Patrol keeps the intricate cogs of a large city school meshing so accurately that the whole organization runs like a well-oiled machine. 67 Crafts Clab One of our brand new organizations is the Crafts Club. This group, supervised by Mr. William Gable, is basically an activity for pupils who either do not have a great deal of shopwork as regular training or who are highly ambitious artisans. The club has no officers and is primarily engaged in woodworking pur- suits. Members are encouraged to bring to the meet- ings articles that are in need of repair and these arti- cles are made as good as new. Other work is freely chosen by the members as long as it does not infringe cn the work of any other club sponsored by Tech. Due to the short time allowed in an activity period, the meeting is informal and work commences as early as possible, and such is the interest of the club that time is all too short. 68 rt ee A Second Row: Newell, Lieberman, Masis, Jen- nings.

This group is comprised of interested students who desire to learn more than the basic concepts as taught in their regular drafting classes. Boys work directly on 81% by 11 vellum. Their finished drawings will be- come the illustrative part of a book entitled “Draft- ing Standards”. This book, now near completion, will explain in detail the following topics: arrange- ment of views, alphabet of lines, conventions, screw threads, dimensioning, and detail drawings. 69 TECHNICAL | HIGH SCHOOL SD) [i i) Nf cers For many years Technical High has won more than its share of prizes in the annual Schoolboy Parade, and this year is no exception, for we again intend to be among the top-notch units. We still have for our Drill Master, General Vincent Breen, hero of World War I, who has been the in- structor at our school since drill began in 1927. The cadet officers have been doing the same splen- did job that they always do in leading their various companies, with the result that this year we are better than ever. Even though this year’s Prize Drill and Schoolboy Parade promise to be among the best ever held in the city, we expect to be one of the top winners. Because military drill is an integral part of physical education, we are working hard at this important ac- tivity. 70 Third Row: Lydon, Troiano, Venckus, Shankle, Parris, Lewis, Ross, Haley, Previti, Indorato, Johnson, Wise, Arangio, McCormick, Weich.

Early in the year, Mr. John O’Bryant called for volunteers for the Trick Drill Team. The first meeting was heavily attended by boys all apparently eager to earn a place on the squad. Soon, however, the early practice hour and the keen eye of Mr. O’Bryant weeded out the less serious con- tenders. Each morning the team practiced, learning many maneuvers, each more difficult than the one before. Soon, the opportunity to display their skill came with an invitation for the boys to march at the Alumni Smoker on Thanksgiving Eve. The team amazed the audience with the intricacy of its move- ments within a restricted area. Their success at this first public exhibition inspired the group to practice carefully for the Christmas Assemblies. Working wihin the limits of a stage barely large enough for maneuvers, the team showed to the delighted students of our school the excellent results that practice can bring to a willing group of drillers. This novel Drill Team now has hopes of marching in several spring parades and will point toward giving its best display in a special exhibition at Prize Drill. 71 Sever Culation ( Group 1) Third Row: McCabe, Lussier, Baxter, Rowan, Considine, Karcher, Kent, Wiley, Cohane.

Under the auspices of the Registry of Motor Vehi- cles and the capable leadership of Mr. John Broderick, the Pre-Driving Club is conducted each week. Because of the interest shown by the students and the large number of them who are enrolled, two separate classes are held. During these classes the boys are addressed by guest speakers and are also given tests on the rules of the road. The purpose of these classes is to teach the students the fundamentals of safe driving. This club has been a most popular one with Tech boys for over a decade. 72 Benen Cilitalion ( Group 2) Second Row: Mr. Broderick, Tocman, Winchester, Collins, Downes, Ko- walewski, Pendleton, Munafo.

In striving for perfection, the Corps succeeds in doing exception- ally well. On Wednesdays at drill, the Corps plays and marches. On Friday, the individual members have special instructions in order to improve their playing and techniques. We can be sure that the Drum and Bugle Corps will do well at the Prize Drill and in the Schoolboy Parade because we always can be proud of it whenever it performs. Since the Corps has won more than its share of awards in public exhibitions in the past, it is only to be expected that it will be among the top-notch units this year also. Surely the Drum and Bugle Corps is the “pride of Tech.” 74 Second Row: Cunningham, Cugini, Voigt, Lewis, Shankle, Coll, Nobles, Dawson, Slattery, Ga- turna, McCarthy, Boyd.

Cre Chub As usual, the Glee Club, under the supervision of Mr. T. Francis Burke, conducts weekly meetings dur- ing which the voices of the members are trained to near perfection. From the days of the most primitive tribal living to those of our own present complex so- ciety, man has joined with his fellow man in activities designed to stimulate pleasant and friendly social relationships. This end is mainly achieved by singing and that the tradition still exists is evidenced by the presence of innumerable choirs and singing groups in the world today. Our own Glee Club is one of these and so it carries on this admirable tradition here among our singers. Mr. Burke trains this club so well that it never fails to bring delight to its audience. 7f3) Sal orum In our senior year, four forums were held by the members of our class under the direction of Mr. Ed- ward Golden of the English Department. This oppor- tunity to improve one’s ability in public speaking was taken advantage of by nine seniors. In the first forum, the topic, “Should the Voting Age be Lowered to 18?” brought forth some interesting and heated discussion. Participating in this first forum were Gerald Brown, George Kent, Richard Bryce, and Donald Johnstone. The moderator was Peter Bishop. Participating in the other forums were Vincent Bono, Donald Conlin, Rob- ert Buck, and Robert McManus. All of these boys have received valuable training in Public Speaking which in these days of radio and TV plays a larger part in our daily lives than ever before. 76 eS 22D sage sete Ye iltt 23 : Wie Pe. rh ‘ Second Row: Kent, Johnstone, Keane, Brown, Mr. Golden.

NS EE Library Mrs. Cogghill and her well-chosen crew run an eff- cient and well-kept library, an essential for any first- rate school. With her excellent feminine taste, Mrs. Cogghill not only keeps the library neat and attractive, but has al- ways stocked it with both educational and entertain- ing books. Among the most interesting books to boys of our classes is the series of Technical High year- books that give the chronological history of our school for the last fifteen years, beginning with the 1941 volume when we first produced the “Buff and Blue Yearbook,” a book that has evolved to become our Prize winning Technic ian of today. Thousands of books on all subjects line our well- filled shelves, and in Mrs. Cogghill we have the most efficieuit of librarians. 77 lunch Cato Our lunch patrol, better known as the “T”’ Service, displays the unselfishness of all Tech boys. During the lunch period, these boys work diligently patroling the cafeteria, distributing food, keeping the tables spic and span, and supervising the corridors which, you can be sure, are always clean and orderly because of their efforts. Without the lunch patrol, our school would be in a chaotic state indeed during the lunch period. Credit must go to Mr. Plumb and Mr. Gray and all the “T” men for an excellent job in the face of inadequate space and milling crowds that are the necessary com- plement of all large city high schools. 78 Third Row: Vacha, Montana, DePina, Kramer, Krisciunas, Dewan.

Model Auto Club A club that has carried the fame of our school na- tionwise is the Model Automobile Club, for each year boys like Jimmy Toller and Nick Vallas win high awards in National as well as City-wide and State com- petition. Faculty Director of this highly successful group is Mr. Arthur Maher, who has taken oWer this year in place of Mr. Victor Campbell, who has been eminently successful in the past. Our boys have dis- tinguished themselves especially in the Fisher Body Contest where Technical High boys have always been high on the roster of top-ranking prize winners. This is evinced by the many models and trophies that are a part of our permanent collection in the trophy case that is the pride of this school. 79 WEST Seen e Tech’s annual Harvest Dance was held at beautiful Alumni Hall, Boston College, on the chilly evening of December 7th. Dick Richards and his orchestra supplied the dance music. More than fifty members of the class and their dates had their choice of dancing on either the first or the second floor lounges. All who attended enjoyed themselves thoroughly. At intermission, refreshments were served in the downstairs dining room. The success of the party was due to the excellent arrangements made by the committee headed by Dave Reilly and Paul Gianibus, who worked zealously with Mr. Holland who was in charge as usual. 80 Third Row: Prager, Gordon, Pozzi, McManus, Sliby, Bryce, Keane, Burns, Halsey, Tosi, Goldman.

Wei Bell ay tha Sith 1957 was the sixth year in which a group of Tech- nical High School boys were elected to the National Honor Society. Outstanding qualities of character, leadership, serv- ice, and scholarship are demanded of those who are admitted to the Society. The records of all upper classmen were examined by a Faculty committee con- sisting of Mr. Dailey, Mr. Gibbons, Mr. Van Ham, and Mr. Bowes before this year’s group of four seniors and eight juniors were admitted to membership. We expect these boys to maintain the high stan- dards they have already set not only for the remainder of their time in school, but for the rest of their lives. 81 Wlodel Salto Hel Airplanes Mr. Alf Munnick, yachting enthusiast himself, has inspired a large group of Technical High sailors to excel in the fine art of model sailboat construction. Mr. Munnick has long been a master craftsman in the construction of model sailboats and airplanes, and he takes great joy in inspiring our lads to develop a hobby that will last a lifetime. Competition is an im- portant part in the development of a skill, and the Model Boat Club enjoys this spirit of friendly rivalry to the highest degree, since every boy vies for the right to enter the Charles River Basin Model Yachters Com- petition in the late spring. Happy to relate all our boys do so well in model making that almost all of them are chosen to exhibit their creations in city-wide competition. 82 Second Row: Biagiotto, Goura, Anderson, Sousa, Rogers, Halloran, Phinney, Doyle, Mr. A.

Every Wednesday during the activity period, this group of expert musicians meets and through diligent practice, upholds the ex- cellent tradition that our musicians have always enjoyed. Besides playing in the orchestra, some members play professionally as well, and many more double in brass for they are also members of the school band. Directed by Mr. James Houlihan, our orchestra each year has given several players to the Boston School Symphony Orchestra. 83 OUR SEMOR Third Row; Pozzi, Pagels, Zona, Saunders, Tosi, Keane, Burns, Hasenfus, Duane.

Why, the Senior Prom, of course! We are all there! It has been the topic of conversation at school for many weeks. Each of us has been eager to meet his classmate’s girl friend, and this is the night. The pleasant atmosphere is enhanced by the music of one of Boston’s most talented orchestras. This evening is one that will be long remembered as the social high spot of our career at Technical High. 85 ottery Club For the past two years at Technical High a Pottery Club has been in progress. When pupil programs permit, it is possible for undergraduates to enroll in this activity by giving up one study period a week. The experience gained in creating beautiful ob- jects from an inert lump of clay is very gratifying. Stu- dents have the opportunity of showing their original- ity in the many and various objects they make such as bowls, vases, mosaics, and ceramic sculpture. Here in A3 we have the potter’s wheel, the chemi- cals for glaze composition and the know how for mak- ing useful and practical things. Mr. Ralph Rosenthal, our Art Teacher here, has added a very interesting and worthwhile unit to our expanding system of club activities. 86 Second Row: Rolinson, Kachadoorian, Everett, Conaghan, Markonish, Governor, Groden, Coleburn.

The boys meet in Room F-2 under the direction of Mr. Edward Foley. They submit ideas for such proj- ects and when the ideas are approved, the boys pre- pare their exhibits. Every year, our science club achieves great success and wins wide acclaim. Many projects selected are for our own school science fair, and every year at least four or five are chosen to compete in the city-wide High School Fair held at Latin School. Some are also selected for entrance in the State Science Fair held at M.I.T. Our boys always return from the city and state fairs with top honors for their ingenious science exhibits. This year’s school senior science fair was very suc- cessful. Winners were Michael Vallas, Henry Schwartz, Eugene Folger, Kenneth Larson, Robert Hunt, and James Conlon. The work of Leland Woodsworth, William McGuire, Thomas Burke, and Joseph Mc- Donald, who won honorable mention, was outstand- ing. Runners-up Thomas Henshon, Ronald Haley, and John Trudelle all turned in excellent exhibits. 87 Sindba Geereh The Student Council is considered one of the most important organizations at Technical High. It is com- posed of students elected from cach class, one repre- sentative being chosen by each division and one by each major activity. The chief function of the Coun- cil is to discuss situations and to make decisions about problems pertaining to the school. Mr. John Bowes, Faculty Advisor of the Council, has always done an admirable job with this organiza- tion which has served the needs of the school well for many years. 88 Third Row; Butterfield, Culhane, Munafo, Cot- te, McBirney, Zawacki, Gajarsa, Centofanti.

Last year’s squad, using the T, had experienced a dismal season from the point of view of wins and losses. And now the T was being abandoned. In the jamboree, Tech drew Roslindale as an opponent. Sluggish and inept, the team tugged and hauled through 15 minutes of a scoreless tie. Although the potential seemed to be there, the execution lacked fire and imagination was missing. On the eve of the regular season, pros- pects were not too bright. Preseason evaluations seemed to be correct when the Technicians barely squeezed by a be- low-average squad from B. C. High, 7-6. Tech had the better of the early going. In the second quarter, Jack Crowley raced twenty-two yards off tackle for a score. Don Conlin rushed the extra point which was to prove decisive. B. C. High scored on an eight-yard plunge in the third quarter but missed the point. Our line prevented any further serious threats. The fine defensive O7. , sae a oe acta sean wey Sn on ny ch re e ft aay dh NN a pinnae RSS ‘ a ae mee : ey J play of Joe Lentini, who recovered three Eaglet fumbles, highlighted the contest. However, injury stalked the squad carly as starter Ralph Matacunas was carried oft the field in the second quarter with a broken leg. A smart Latin School squad, taking advantage of the lapses in the pass defense of our boys, scored a decisive victory Friday night, October 5, at White Stadium, 19-0. The Buff and Blue run- ning attack, spurred on by the offensive blocking of Frank Del Bene, looked good at times, but fumbles ruined whatever drives finally got un- derway. Dave Swetson, Purple end, proved a thorn in the side of ‘Vech with pass completions and a 67-yard punt return on a handoff. It was on Columbus Day that the Buff and Blue finally came into its own, winning convin- cingly over last year’s city champs, Boston Eng- lish, 20 to 6. In this game the attack jelled, but more im- portant, the defense, led by Vin Bono, found itself. Bono, along with Chris Ventre and Ed DiGregorio steadied the line with some tremen- dous blocking and tackling. John Crowley tallied twice, once on a sweep of end for 12 yards and then with a 7-yard drive off tackle. Don Conlin climaxed a 42-yard drive with a one-yard scoring plunge. English scored once in the third period for a consolation touch- down. Tech had arrived as a team in the English came and certainly showed that it was here to 98 stay in the East Boston contest. October 19, Bono and Jack Kenney led the defense, while Conlin, Crowley, and Holland paced the backs to a 21-13 victory. Best, however, was the fact that the whole team was functioning as a unit, each man doing his share. Ken Ivers led East Boston in its losing but gallant effort. Undefeated Dorchester took the field against Tech on Friday night, October 26, in high spirits, and with sights set on a championship season, but we triumphed, 20-6. Our boys played with speed, precision, and deception. After Charlie Bunker had put the Red and Black ahead on an 85-yard pass interception, Don Conlin evened the score on a short line In the third period Dutch Holland slanted 8 yards off tackle to put his team out plunge. front and shortly after, Crowley went around end on a deceptive buck lateral for the insurance touchdown. The offensive line play of Ray Lydon and Eddie Butler crushed the Dorchester defense, leaving many openings for our powerful running attack. Jerry Galizio, playing defensive end, proved to be a stone wall as he hauled down Charlie Bunker on four attempted end runs. After a layoff of a few weeks because of in- clement weather and complications arising from Election Day, Tech seemed rather stale in this contest with Memorial. At no time, however, were the Technicians in any danger, and they seemed to improve as they went along. Frank Del Bene organized the defense as he inspired his teammates with some fine tackling. Crowley scored at the end of a long march, Guara re- turned a pass interception for a tally, and Jack Nee took a 30-yard pass from Conlin to score from the Printers’ five. Memorial, trying all the way, scored a touchdown in the waning mo- ments of the contest to make the count 21-6. Marring this victory was an unfortunate acci- dent to Jack Crowley, star halfback. The first Thanksgiving game in our history brought a highly successful season to a close when Tech beat Trade School at White Stadium. The team played just as well as it needed to in order to win. Trade played a seven-man line a good part of the game, which Technical opened up somewhat with the pitching of Con- lin and Holland. Captain Dan Sullivan played an outstanding game at tackle. Mike David and Bert Alleyne also shone as they helped spark the team to victory. To cap a spectacular season, Vin Bono was chosen as a guard on the first team of the Greater Boston Interscholastic Squad. Don Conlin and Jack Crowley, our two great backs, were both listed for honorable mention. On the All-Boston eleven, all three were first team choices. Vin Bono added to his lustre by being chosen a mem- ber of the Scholastic Magazine, All-American Football Squad. We extend sincere congratulations to a fine squad and to its coaching staff, headed by John Morris. We are proud not only of the victories of the Buff and Blue, but also of the outstanding sportsmanship shown. 2 Second Row: First Row: COACH MORRIS VARSITY MANAGERS McGrath, Venckus, Billingham.

Baschall In 1956, Tech’s varsity baseball team had a poor season as far as the won- lost column is concerned. But this gives a false-impression of the fine squad that represented our school in the Boston Conference. The boys gave their best and might have had a winning season had the ball bounced the other way. We extend our congratulations to a good Tech team. Captain John Barry’s injury in the early season hurt Tech a great deal. Dan Sullivan did a fine job in his stead but John’s great leadership was missed. An- other hindrance to the team was the ankle injury of southpaw Henry Fucillo, one of Tech’s better pitchers. In a game against Jamaica Plain, Tech was losing by two runs in the last inning and had the bases loaded with nobody out. But an almost unbelievable catch by a Jamaica Plain outfielder was turned into a game-ending triple play. Jack Nee pitched a fine game against Trade but was beaten, 4-3, in 11 innings. These are just two of the team’s heart-breaking losses. On the happier side, Technical counts among its victories those over very good Boston English and Boston Latin teams. Nee pitched a fine game against English, and timely hitting by Dan Sullivan and Frank Woodward drove in the winning runs. Against Latin School Fran Walsh and Henry Gordon, with their hitting combined with Henry Fleming’s excellent pitching, gave Tech a deserved win. This season should be different. Tech’s pitching should be one of the best in the city. The outfield will be backed up by hard-hitting Fran Walsh. Coach McGrath is looking forward to a great season, and the way these boys give all they have, it will be no surprise if they end up on top. To Coach McGrath, Captain Henry Fucillo, and the entire squad we wish the best of luck. 102 Second Row: Bogan, Flynn, Crowley, Cantwell, Bradley, Pasquarosa, Hiltz, Mayfield, Fernan- des, Mr. Bowes.

In the Technical High School league there are eight teams, each composed of four boys. The schedule consists of a double round- robin, each team playing its opponents twice. The Student Council sponsors this popular group, and gives awards at the end of the season to the player with the highest three-string total and also to the championship team. This activity provides fun and competition to many of our boys who otherwise would not participate in any form of athletics. 103 Top: O’Brien, Benson, Gallagher, Mockus, Towner, Sliby, Mar.

Washethall Boston Technical High’s basketball team did not enjoy a successful season from the standpoint of wins and losses. However, with a kinder nod from fate, the record might have been entirely different. As an example of how the season went, here is a summary of the games Tech played this year. The first game was against strong Roxbury Memorial. At the half both teams were tied but in the third period Memorial outscored Tech, twenty to four. Al Hines was top scorer for Tech, followed by “Buff” Donovan and Fred Rickson. Next on Tech’s schedule was an away-from-home game against B. C. High. This was a close one, with Tech losing by one point in overtime. High scorers for T ech were “Buff” Donovan, Al Hines, Walter Burke, and “Gigs” Gallagher. Against Boston Latin at Latin School, Jim McBirney was exceptional at rebounding and his skill was a great help in an important Tech win. Our high scorers were Donovan, Hines, and Gallagher. The game against English was another thriller with English winning in over- time. Once again Tech lost by one point. Fred Rickson was high scorer and Jim McBirney turned in his usual great job clearing the boards. Tech next played at Dorchester High gymnasium. This game was con- sidered by many as the worst Tech had all year, for everything went wrong. Tech played Trade at Irvington Street for their “game of the year.” Donovan showed one reason why he had been elected captain for by scoring twenty-six points. The return game with Roxbury Memorial was almost a repetition of the first, for once again Tech blew up in the third period. Tech lost the second game with Latin, again losing by only one point and also in an overtime period. Al Hines was high scorer with “Buff” Donovan and “Gigs” Gallagher a close second and third. On February 4, Tech played English at English. The score was tied at the half, but a well-balanced English team pulled away in the second half. “Buff” 104 SCORES TECH OPPONENT 44 Roxbury Memorial 61 60 B. C.

Tech, playing very well, tied the game with only two minutes to go, but B. C. High forged ahead to win by eight points. In the second game against Dorchester, in or- der to give everyone an opportunity to show his wares and at the same time learn of prospects for 1958, Coach Powers cleaned the bench. As usual the last game of the 56-57 season was against Trade School. Coach Powers started an all-senior “5” of “Buff”? Donovan, Al Hines, Jim Billing- ham, Fred Rickson, and Walter Burke. Of these five, four scored in double figures. Jim McBirney, who was Co-Captain elect of Football, was rewarded for his versatility by be- ing elected Captain of Basketball for 1958. Coach William Powers is looking forward to a successful season tn 757-'58 as he has real depth with a good J.V. squad to bolster up the three regular starters who are returning. Honors came to Tech when both Leo Dono- van and Al Hines were selected as members of the All-Boston Basketball Squad, Donovan, sec- ond highest scorer in the league, being named on the first unit. : JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL Front: Meehan, Moy, Ward, Murphy, Hartl.

First Row: Dukas, Cugini, Billingham, Koenig, McCluskey. Under the watchful eye of Mr. Thomas Wall, Technical High’s oarmen fared exceptionally well this year. The team was handicapped by having only one replacement for the first crew, while the other schools had two complete crews or more. This handicap, however, proved to be a blessing in disguise, as it enabled the first crew to row together most of the time. A new approach to the rowing pace was proposed by Mr. Wall who told us that instead of taking short, quick strokes during the race, we should use longer, more powerful strokes. At first, this bit of unusual strategy was not too successful, but its worth was soon realized. In the first race, Tech got off poorly, and came in third. However, the boys were full of fight. They, accordingly, rowed back to the starting line, and proceeded to outstrip the second crews of the other schools. Then Tech won the next four races, but came in third during the sea- son’s last race, due to a pile-up of three boats. Technical High’s crew had a very good season, walking off with the City Champ title. The complete record was five wins and two third-places. Moby Dick, beware! (a5; Country Dave Hasenfus, our leading Cross Country man, did well indoors too. Second Row: Idrisano, Green, ‘Turner, Rehfield, Urbsas, Mr. Carey. First Row: Layne, Kent, Hasenfus, Freeman, Hunt, Duane. As usual Tech had one of the strongest cross country teams in the city. However, we did lose to English in several important meets. ‘This was due to the lack of senior power. On the whole though, the team, led by Dave Hasenfus and piloted by hard working Captain Darryl Freeman, enjoyed a good season. We congratulate Coach Carey who did a terrific job at White Stadium. Tech started the season well, on a clear warm October after- noon. ‘Tech finished first, in front of Dorchester and Latin. Dave Hasenfus led the pack of over fifty boys in 14.06. Hasenfus, Rehfield, Freeman, Kent, and Duane finished in that order. On Columbus Day, Tech bowed to New Bedford and Eng- lish in one of the hardest fought races of the season. Our st ar runner was “Doc” Hasenftus who finished a close third behind Silvera of New Bedford and Elli- son of English. The winning time was 13:27. “Doc” was 13:45. CAPTAIN FREEMAN In the Reggies again English proved too strong, forcing us to accept a second place in this im- Captain Freeman was a splendid leader and portant meet. Dave Hasenfus greatest point scorer in ‘Technical history was Tech’s first man., Last year’s winner Charlestown, only placed fourth. In the final meet of the year, five new records were set. Once more “Doc” led home the Tech- nical harriers, but the pace was too hot for a team victory on that cold day and found Scitu- ate, a dark horse, winning the class A crown while Tech was far behind. Prospects look very good for 1957 with John Kent the cap- tain-elect to lead the boys for the coming season. Y Weg, tllg. at cre £ CHNIC: Second: Coach V. J.

The Buff and Blue had a wonderful year and pleased its rooters no end. The season opened with a 3-0 win over proud, defending cham- pion and bitter rival, English High, Palermo and McCarthy hitting the strings. The following week Tech faced another tough opponent, Latin School, but our boys, paced by the accurate shooting of Palermo and Burke, came out on top, 2-1. St. Sebastians, always a first class private school six, was rudely surprised when Technical High, leaving the City League for the only time in the season, pinned a 3-1 defeat on the Newton boys. A duel of centers, Daley and Rowan, featured this game as the two lads, each a top hockey player, vied for honors. Then the old adage, “Pride cometh before a fall,” was well exem- plified, for just when it looked that Tech was invincible, along came an under-rated but upset-minded and inspired Dorchester club which downed our boys, 4-1. Chastened by this defeat the Technicians were flying when they annihilated hapless Memorial by the ignominious court of 11-0. Everybody scored, including the freshman line that promises so much for the future. Trade School was defeated, 7-0, in another outclassing exhibition; then Latin fell for the second time by a 2-1 score. English felt the sting of defeat for the second time, 2-0. Palermo getting both goals, as Rowan set up plays well. We waited the return game with Dorchester with greatest antici- pation, but alas! once more we were toppled from our lofty perch, this time, however, by the slim margin of one goal in one of the most exciting games of our winter campaign, as Dorchester eked out a 3-2 victory. The final league game was a close one with Trade School. Tech winning through goals by McCarthy and Peterson, as our well- rounded six took first place in the City League. CO-CAPTAINS KEANE Back: Coach V. J. Campbell, Ciriello, Cotte, Palermo. Senior Front: Kay, McCarthy, Co-Capt. Keane, Co-Capt. Rowan, Sullivan. and ROWAN Al Stars Being City Champions, Technical High was invited to compete in the State Hockey Tournament. Our first opponent was Hyde Park High which we handled easily for a 3-0 victory. Then, in the quarter-finals we met powerful Lynn Eng- lish, the defending State Champions. No one except ourselves expected our boys to be close, but as on so many previous occasions, Tech High fooled the experts, and although we lost 1-0, we were outlucked, and had we one iota of good fortune we might have won. The defeat put us out of the running but the team effort was excellent. The game was highlighted by one of the best high school goaltending exhibitions at the Arena. Tech’s John Keane, who has been a superb rubber-stopper for three years, put on a tremendous show and well deserved the nickname of “Mr. Zero.” All in all the hockey team had a splendid season, and to cap it all six of our lads made the Boston All-star team . These men were Co-Captains John Keane and Bob Rowan, Dan Cotte, Pete Palermo, Joe McCarthy, and rugged Dan Sullivan. Hats off to a gallant squad and to Coach Victor Campbell for a job well done. 109 Pete Peler-mo 7 scores goal.

Last year’s golf team, coached by Mr. Golden and captained by Paul DeBassio, had a fairly successful season, winning five while losing four. The team lacked the necessary turnout of capable members that is essential for a City Championship, although the boys who did participate did an exceptionally good job. The team consisted of Captain De Bassio, James Poodiack, Thomas Henshon, David Powell, and Harry Saunders. Here’s hoping for a good season to come to Co-Captains Henshon and Powell.

The players were supplied with uniforms by Mr. McGrath, and everyone on the team was in high spirits. As was the case last year, our first game was played against Boston Latin School, and again as in last year, we beat our Louis Pasteur Avenue opponents by a decisive 6-1 score. In this game there was no particular star, for everybody on the team played well. CAPTAIN VIZGIRDA After a three-week layoff, during which we could not arrange any games, Mr. William Powers secured a contest for us with tough Belmont Hill. The boys were really up for this one, and in the hard tought game the score was tied until Belmont Hill finally put the ball past goalie Gerry Banaitis in the waning moments of play. Despite this the boys put the pressure on Bel- mont Hill for the rest of the game, but we couldn’t tie the score, even though we tried as hard as we could, and the final outcome was 2-1 in favor of our worthy opponent. Gerry was the out- standing player on the field that day, making many spectacular Saves against our tough opponent. Tech had an excellent team this year, and, if it had been more fortunate in arranging more games, it could have had a really outstanding season. Lae?

Last year, under the able leadership of Philip Castlenovo and Sigitas Leimonas, the tennis team had an exceptionally good season. It finished third in the city, behind Memorial and Latin, losing only to those two teams, although these contests were see- saw battles that could have easily ended in victory for Tech. But, since Lady Luck did not favor us, we lost by the narrowest of margins. Our record for the year was six wins and two losses. This year’s team should also be very successful as our co- captains are Wade Hicks and Romas Vencus, two capable vet- erans, and we have many other capable tennis players who are only waiting for the opportunity to show their wares. 113 hech::2 eee aeons Latin 3 ech) 5 pees South Boston 0 BL CCHS 2 pierre wea Memorial 3 Pech’ ers me ses ees Trade 2 plechs) ye aes Dorchester 0 Lech og eee Jamaica Plain 0 FLOCK 20 ee ee Brighton 0 bl ech eens = =e English 0 ) CAPTAIN VENCKUS Fourth Row: R.

Under the capable coaching of Coach Joseph Carey, the inspiring leadership of Captain Vin Bono, and the self-sacrificing work of the man- agers, our indoor track team had a victorious season. The team won back the Reggie crown from English High and beat the Blue and Blue in every meeting. The season opened with Commander Ralph Colson’s Navy meet, in which Tech won vic- tories in several events. Two weeks later came the Y.M.C.A. games and again Tech won its share of races. CAPTAIN BONO ALL SCHOLASTIC IN FOOTBALL AND TRACK Li 1 y ' OR | came a Elf: aS ed! Our first meet in the City League was with English and Dorchester. Tech took the lead in the field events and held on to it right up to the last relay. Tech’s weakest performance in the meet was the dashes; in fact, thr oughout the sea- son the dashes were the vulnerable point for the team. But despite this handicap, Tech went on fighting to win meet after meet. In the B.A.A. games Tech scored 10 points, to place fourth. Vin Bono cracked the meet record with a shot-put of 54 ft., 8 in. Sonny Lytle took a second in the hurdles in his first big meet. The relay team took a fourth and made a fine showing by running a courageous relay from gun to tape. In the State Meet Tech placed sixth. Bono took a second; Lytle again placed in the hurdles and Galizio in the 600. The relay failed to qual- ify by one second in a hair-raising finish. In the Relay Carnival Tech qualified for all three class relays, won the two lap and took a third in the medley. When the Reggie field events rolled along, Tech took the lead with a 2214-point margin. In the running events the boys were tremendous. In Class A the boys were Freeman, Finn, Hasen- fus, Zizza, Conlin, and Hines. In Class B, there were Kent, Hill, Duane, Lytle, Brousaides and Cooley. In Class C we had Reed, Bacote, Ryder, and Simpson. With these boys and the support of the team, Tech took the Reggie Crown. Some of the thrills of the season were Darryl Freeman’s wonderful bursts of speed, Austin Layne’s tre- mendous, running, Dave Hasenfus’s spectacular duels with Ellison of English, and Vin Bono’s consistency in hurling the iron ball. During the season the track team had a meet- ing with Olympics stars, Tom Courtney and Bob Rittenburg. This day was very thrilling to all our trackmen. 53 Sites. ne Wwe aVre grateful eo 8 115 Liberty 2-9159 SUMNER’S 185 Tremont St., Boston 11, Mass.
