BRADFORD DURFEE TECHNICAL INSTITUTE FALL RIVER • MASSACHUSETTS The students of the Class of 1951, particularly those of the Textile Division, hold a special interest for me. They should be congratulated on their achievements. They have wisely improved the present and their future accomplishments will depend on their ability to adapt the knowledge they have acquired. It is vitally important to have a progressive education and to keep it well-balanced. The character of the individual will have a definite bearing on his success in life. This being a new era, for the Institute, insofar as its collegiate standing is concerned, it would seem fitting for this class to be the pioneer in the establishment of a stronger and better alumni association which would be very valuable to the student body as a whole and would increase in value as the years go by. Since 1929, every graduating class of every educational institution in the United States has been told at commencement that it faces an uncertain, troublesome future. The prophecies proved too true. Depression, political turmoil, and war have invaded the lives of all Americans. The remarkable fact about this period of American history, however, has not been the correctness of the commencement prophets, but rather the toughness, adaptability and resourcefulness of the American citizen. The members of the Class of 1951, whose four years of peaceful, constructive, academic achievement have been parenthesized by war, face an uncertain troubled future. They are equal to it. i PRESIDENT LESLIE B. COOMBS DR. D. ALEXANDER SEVERINO B.S., Ed. M.. Ed. D. Professor and Chairman of the Art and Product Development Department DR. JAMES WATTERS B.S. M.S.

Please give them your consideration whenever the opportunity arises. We started our college careers in September 1947 as the largest freshman class ever to enter the Bradford Durfee Technical Institute. We numbered some hundred and twenty students at that time but the years that followed considerably thinned our ranks. On registration day President Leslie B. Coombs spoke in the auditorium and told us of the curriculum changes which four years later enabled us to culminate our courses with Bachelor of Science degrees. That first year at Tech taught us many things not included in the curriculum. The idea of cramming for exams caught on very well with those who never seemed to have the time to open a book. During free periods many of us ran to the Greasy Spoon for a cup of coffee and a special group of future engineering majors who were part of the best class 'Professor' Simeone ever taught , went to the Bijou to relax and talk about their Army experiences. We soon became aware of the many foreign and out-of-town students with us at the Institute. And co-eds also! It seemed as though we were having a wonderful time at a country club until midyear examination time rolled around. Burning the midnight oil and then rising early to study again, never made for healthful living, but we wanted to stay at Tech for the second half of our freshman year. The marks came from the front office. A few names were on the Dean's List, a few were gone completely, but the majority of us were going to be all right. Subjects didn't get easier the second semester. Mr. Simone's College Algebra became Trigonometry and Analytical Geometry; and Mr. Winters' WOGAPPER, something we remember to this day, was transformed into Public Speaking. There were fraternities at Tech, and while some of us pledged for Phi Psi, another group became charter members of the new Epsilon Phi Pi fraternity. After final examinations were concluded we rushed off to worry about marks and summer jobs. Depleted in numbers but inflated in spirit, we resumed our studies in September 1948 determined to show our instructors that we had caught on to the routine and would be able to take college work in stride. The situation had changed however, and we were now into the meat or our major courses. The textile men warily ventured into the labyrinth of machinery known as the annex ; the engineers moved into Professor Dillon's office; and the chemists set up housekeeping in the third floor labs and in the new dye house. We lost some men and all but one of our co-eds to the newly created Art and Product Development department. It was courageous Marie Hurley who elected to stick it out as a textile engineer. . The fraternities began their rushing for pledges and in a spirit of revelry, the Cosmopolitan Club traveled up to Boston for dinner on a Wednesday and managed to arrive back in Fall River the following morning just in time for 8:30 classes. The DISTAFF published its first, last, and only eight page issue and the civils, mechanicals, and electricals got together to form the Engineering Society. The baseball team went through a standard season and we ended the year in a blaze of examinations. Numerous changes had taken place at Tech by the time we returned for the fall of 1949. A college Bookstore had opened on the second floor and it soon became a popular gathering place for students—most of whom were hoping to find it open. A cafeteria was installed in the lounge on the basement floor. The cafeteria quickly became a meeting place for those of us who were cutting classes and had the price of a cup of coffee. Whether in class or out, we felt right at home at Tech in our junior year. The chemists, when they weren't pushing their way through German translations for Mr. Cass, were dyeing strings for Rapid Willie Wingate. All our engineers, including textile students were busy composing lengthy electricity lab reports for Mr. Hardy. Marie Hurley was doing wonderfully in her third year as a textile engineer and Chris Spiliotis became the student who gave Tech a much needed campus seal. In September 1950 we came back to Tech for the last time. Quite a few of us had become family men by that time and those who were married— some of us proud papas too—looked on in pleasant amusement as our classmates took unto themselves wives. We seniors met and made plans for our final year. Bob Staples was elected president of the class; Eddie Cowell was elected vice-president, and A1 Slowe and Bob Hinves were elected secretary and treasurer respectively. The American Association of Textile Chemist and Colorists held its 29th annual convention in Portsmouth, New Hampshire and a large contingent of seniors had a rip-roaring time motoring up with the Durfee Tech exhibits. The fraternities got together to sponsor a successful Freshman Hop with more seniors in attendance than freshmen. A few engineers had enough free time to take Mr. Simeone's History of Mathematics elective. A 75 mile or better club was formed among the soccer players when car breakdowns stranded them in New Hampshire and again in Lowell, Mass. Intrepid Marie Hurley continued on undaunted with the textile engineers. She was helpful in keeping the boys in line on the field trip to Gosnold Mills. In our last semester at Tech. Mr. Cass offered a Principles of Job Seeking elective and future employment was all we had on our minds. Personnel men came to the Institute and interviewed us for positions and despite our apprehension it appeared that everything was going to turn out all right. We graduated from Durfee Tech on June 4, 1951. RICHARD PAUL BARBER 20 PRESBY AVE. TAUNTON. MASS. B.S. in Chemistry Dean's List 1; Earle P.

Other officers elected were Roger Bridge and Neil Murphy as Vice-President and Secretary-Treasurer, respectively. What the future holds in store for the class of 1952 is yet to be seen, but because of the ability of our classmates we are confident that we will uphold the high tradition of Bradford Durfee Technical Institute. In September, 1949, a group of scared but eager freshmen entered the halls of Durfee Tech for the first time and soon found that scholastic life here was far different from that of high school. In general, there was little time for participation in the activities and social gatherings which were held during the year. Yet, from our Freshman Class came the Gamma Chapter of the Kappa Sigma Phi Sorority, the first Sorority at Tech. Among the eight charter members were Ruth Loub. Myrbeth Weldon, Joan Seifert and Ruth Rockcliffe, all members of our class. Ruth Loub and Myrbeth Weldon were elected to the office of Treasurer and Vice-President respectively. In the course of their activities, our freshman girls formed a cheering squad to spur the teams on. Working our way through the engulfing tides of finals we emerged tired but happy knowing that for the present the worst was over. Our history is still in the making. Although the threatening clouds of war hover above us, we are continuing on. The prospect of leaving a job only half done leaves us disheartened but not discouraged. If there is no alternative but to leave, then perhaps someday when the world is at peace we can return and take up our studies again. •5JMU, Class began on September 18 for all freshmen. This was an eventful occasion, for on this day we met our instructors for the first time. We soon realized that the task of earning a degree was one not for a haphazard worker, but only for an earnest student. After a few days had passed, we were adjusted to the college routine, and hard study was the rule. On November 15, class elections were held under the supervision of our faculty advisors, Mr. Tedford and Mr. Stewart, with the following results: President, Richard White; Vice-President, Paul Parente; Secretary, Dorothy Zebrasky; Treasurer, Stanley Sieczkowski. In athletics, freshmen made their influence felt from the start. During the soccer season, two booters, William Jackson and Paul Parente, contributed their best sportsmanship to the not-very-successful team; later each boy was awarded the coveted letter. At the basketball tryouts, bright prospects boomed when three of our classmates — George McGaw, Joseph Gardella, and Dean Crook —became members of the varsity squad, and several others made the junior varsity. Social events have been a welcome addition to our college life. In the fall the very successful Freshman Hop was held at Eagles Hall, and later we enjoyed the Christmas Dance at Stevenson's. The social climax came with the Christmas Assembly in which freshmen contributed their share of the entertainment, including participation in skits. The resumption of classes after New Year's signified the return of students to hard work before the mid-year examinations. Those of us who survived are looking with anxiety to the uncertain future that faces us in the present war crisis. We will try to gain all the education we can, for we realize that with this advantage we shall be more valuable to our country whether we remain civilians or become members of the armed forces. STUDENT ACTIVITIES BASKETBALL The 1950-51 Basketball team played the toughest schedule that any Tech five had to face. Our hoopsters found the going rough and were able to win only four games while dropping fifteen. Included among the returning veterans were Co-Captains Alex Smith and Harold Peterson. Murray Cohen. Neil Murphy, Bill O'Neil, and Jack Wachs-berger. The varsity squad was bolstered by George McGaw. Joe Gardella, and Dean Crook, all up and coming freshmen. Of the four victories, three were gained in conference play. The most outstanding win of the year was scored against Stonehill College in a 62-61 overtime thriller. This victory, coming early in the season proved to be the determining factor in preventing Stonehill from again taking the Southern New England Coastal Conference crown. This game was the second conference win for Tech and at the time raised hopes of another possible conference championship for Tech. However, the team's determination and drive was never again recaptured and despite its best efforts the remainder of the season proved very dissappointing. The '50-'51 season marked initial competition with Becker College at Worcester, Mass., and a re-schedule with Hillyer College of Hartford, Conn., after a three year lapse. The teams also made trips to Newport and Providence, Rhode Island, Bridgeport, Conn., and New Bedford. Lowell, North Easton, and Boston, Mass. Our 1951 Tennis Team, with only two regulars lost to graduation last year and with a crew of eager newcomers, should have another good season. The schedule will be rough, but Mr. Greenhalgh's boys, we are sure, will prove a credit to the college. Ernie Vigeant, who won the championship at the Edgewood Junior College Invitation Tournament in May, 1950, is expected to be our outstanding star. Captain: Ernest J. Vigeant Secretary: Menelaos Yankopoulos Coach: John Greenhalgh ROSTER Norman Weinstein, Monir Spahi, Bill Comer, Jack Steinberg, Hank Walker, Henry N. Reis. The 1951 Bowling League was compQsed of eight teams including one made up entirely of girls. The individual scoring stars of the season were Bob Gauthier and Marie Hurley.

UUVL; Under the direction of Coach Eugene Williams, the Fencing Team in its second year at B.D.T.I. has continued the fine spirit of its initial year. The antics in the Salle d'Armes on the third floor of the Y.M.C.A. have been a source of enjoyment and recreation both to those students who came out for the team and to the kibitzers who merely watched. The Seniors, — Jack Moss, Mike Spahi, and Carmen Rendino — were a great help in the organization and development of the team, and were always ready to encourage the others. This year two captains were elected — a senior. Jack Moss, and a sophomore, John Murray III. Harold Isserlis was elected manager. The highlights of the year were our matches with the varsity teams from Clark University, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Harvard freshman team. Team line-up: Foil Epee Sabre Edward Hancock Jack Steinberg John Murray III C. Charles Rendino Joe Raposa Jack Moss Harold Isserlis Mike Spahi Joe Murphy Chuck O'Koye Barney Poritz Tech's 1950 Soccer squad had a very poor season with only 1 victory, 2 ties and 7 defeats. Due to the lack of replacements, the players were hard pressed in most games. This was especially noticeable in the out-of-town games. Capt. Henry Nobrega, Jim Curtis, Mario Antonelli and Harold Peterson were the only players returning from last year's squad. Although they lost many games, the team remained a fighting one; and next year's team, as a result, will be more experienced. Captain; Henry Nobrega Players: Harold Peterson, Alex Smith, Chris Spiliotis, Ted Williamson, Jack Stavroutis, Alan Sussman, Archie Franco, Luis Kawas, Mohd Wasim, Aung Kin, Walter Rak, Bob Kenyon, James Curtis, Neil Murphy, Paul Parente, William Jackson, Shlomo Rosenbaum, Mario Antonelli. Manager: Leonard Campbell Coach: Robert Bannister Durfee Tech's 1950 Baseball Team, playing under its new Coach Bob Bannister, managed to win three of its seven games. The record, although not an impressive one, was somewhat better than the previous year; and with many varsity players returning, and many baseball aspirants in the school. Tech is hoping for a banner year in 1951. The Delta Chapter of Phi Psi Fraternity here at Tech has been producing men who have carried a spirit of brotherhood and good feeling into the textile industry since 1909. Phi Psi strives to give its members a well-rounded social life here at Tech and also sponsors many educational exhibits and conventions. To the men of the Class of '51 who go on to take their places in industry alongside the brothers of years gone by — good luck and success.

The Tech Engineering Society's aims include the promotion of the art and science of engineering, the fostering of engineering education, the encouragement of the sharing of experience among engineers, the advancement of original research, and the broadening of the usefulness of the engineering profession. This ambitious program was implemented in 1951 under the able direction of President Leo Langfield by a series of educational meetings, movies, and lectures. OFFICERS President—Leo J. Langfield Vice-President—Frank J. Civilikas Secretary-Treasurer—James Marchand In the Fall of 1946 a group of foreign students in cooperation with some of their American classmates formed the Cosmopolitan Club. In keeping with its name, the club has fought national and racial prejudice and fostered good will among students of various national backgrounds. Through lectures given by various members of the club and through meetings with the international relations clubs of other colleges, the Cosmos” has steadily approached its goals. This year the club boasted members from Burma. Egypt, France. Greece, Honduras, Nigeria, Pakistan and Palestine. In the recent past, members have come from China, Finland, Peru, Puerto Rico and Turkey. One of the most popular activities of the club has been its frequent trips to restaurants featuring the national dishes of the countries represented by the members. OFFICERS President—Criton D.

Our student chapter of the American Association of Textile Chemists successfully serves its members year after year by offering them literature on the latest developments in textile chemistry, by offering an employment service through free listings in its publications, and by fostering professional meetings, lectures and conventions. The student members feel that they have received a great deal of practical information not obtainable through the usual channels of formal education. They had a good time in the process. OFFICERS Chairman—John Keenan Secretary—Americo B. Almeida Treasurer—Ralph W. Burbank Faculty Advisor—Mr. William Wingate Through sponsoring many educational meetings and lectures, our Student Affiliate Chapter of the American Chemical Society afforded an opportunity for students of chemistry to secure the intellectual stimulation that arises from professional association.

The primary purpose of this club is to establish a means of awarding letters to qualifying team participants and to encourage sports at Tech. In order to become eliqible for a Tech T a student must play in a specified number of games in any of the major sports. A student may also earn a letter by becoming manager in any of these sports. This year the Varsity Club held its annual Thanksgiving Day raffle and also played a major part in the combined Athletic Association and Injured Players Fund raffle.

The modern dyestuff industry was born in 1856 when Perkin discovered accidentally that the oxidation of aniline yielded a beautiful violet color. Within three years of that revolutionary event began the successful career of Geigy as dyestuff makers. Since 1859 Geigy has been a constant, important contributor to the science, technology and manufacture of synthetic organic chemicals. Many important developments have come from Geigy Research, among which have been DDT Insecticides, Mitin Mothproofer, the Solophenyl and Cuprophenyl Colors, Erio Chrome and Polar Colors, and the first powdered colors for acetate yarns —the Cetacyl Direct Colors. In addition, many highly effective processes and outstanding mill auxiliary products have been developed. This vast store of experience and knowledge is immediately available for every new problem that confronts the user of dyestuffs and auxiliaries. Geigy quality products and thorough service will help you to succeed in the job for which you have been so ably trained.
