LUNDWALL To ctll who knew ond loved him, Ted was the true embodiment of dll thott Tech represents. No better exgmple could be iound in the gnngls oi Tech history. l-le Wots g redl friend, g fine tegcher, gnd on understotnding coach. Never one to seek individugl honors, glory, or fame, he sought the stotble things of liie otnd the chctnce to lend ct help- ing hgnd in preference to dll else the World hgd to offer. To Ted , We the clctss oi l945, dedicgte this booli . f' - ATI FD DE DID We, the Torch staff, have this year attempted to depict Chapman Tech as it really is. We have tried to catch in some small degree that ethereal some- thing which is- the spirit of Tech. Perhaps the faculty, who are more like fellow students in their friendly attitude towards us, make Tech what it is. Again, it may be the fellowship of the students themselves. However, if the truth were known, we think it would prove to be a combination of many small factors all contributing towards one common end - Tech Spirit! ' The Torch, in this issue has directed its cameras toward many facets of school life, has gone be- hind the scenes again and again to show pleasant workaday order and procedure. This has been done so that now and in years to come this book, if owned by a Tech student will serve to bring to him a flood of happy recollections. The objective has been also to show those who have never been a part of the school something of the Real Tech . hbaac, ft CUNTENT Administration Faculty ' Seniors Underclassmen Activities Departments Features TQ. 1 Athletics Advertisements GENE HANSON Editor-in-Chief -.

Kelly Frederick Edgerton Chairman of the School Board Charles Bedden Secretary of the School Board Office . The quiet and efficient work of our office staff is a major contributing factor in the smooth operation of the school. Miss Elizabeth Foley, secre- tary to Mr. Westcott, Mrs. Lillian Carlyle, financial secretary, and Miss Wanda Turkowski, attendance clerk, handle the many problems of admin- istration With accuracy and, equally important, With a spirit Which makes for harmony throughout the school. Aside from many other activities, Miss Foley Writes, periodically, a letter which is sent to each of the former pupils in the service. All three have earned our sincere appreciation for the all- important tasks they are doinq so admirably for Tech. 13 HORACE G.

A S S D 0 E M VALEDICTORY our future, child of destiny, is but the stuff of dreams, our lives playthings of Mars: the World once filled with faith is sorely tried- but, we have youth, and eyes of youth are clear. can We discern the right where others' vision dimmed? can youthful aspirations reach a goal, channel ambition, harness flighty thought? we have been free and blessed with wealth that only freedom brings to gay, unfettered youth. we look ahead. and unafraid breast currents of the world, facing with confidence the siege.

LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT Know all men by these presents that we, the class of 1945, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, do hereby publish and declare this to be our Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking any and all former wills made by us. We give and bequeath unto the following members of the'classes of l946, 1947 and l948, to have and to hold the following greatly treasured possessions. Pat Collins leaves his hair-do to the home-making department as a war- time substitute for steel-wool. Winnie Canestrari leaves some of her boundless energy to the science department to be made into a new kind of breakfast food. Iames Brown leaves his red plaid shirt to anyone it will fit, because Tech will simply not be Tech without it. We, the members of '45 in the service, send lack Conway two little native boys from Africa. One to do his pacing up and down-the other to do his worrying. Ruth Linkletter leaves her ability as the speediest girl in our class, to any Iunior girl who also has cause to keep ahead of the captain of the track team. The Senior girls leave their positions at the mirror in the girls' room to the underclass girls who might also like to see what they look like. Tom Elke, leaves his voice to the cheer-leading squad, in case their's ever gives out. Mary lane Murray, leaves her ability to sleep at any time Cno course excluded? to any Iunior also suffering from that common disease The-Day- After-The-Night-Before. Bill Menzies and lack Horsley leave a confidential map? to any inter- ested lunior boy, showing the quickest way of getting to W.M.l. Tony Serluca gives back to all the underclassmen the wits they were frightened out of as he jockeyed his car around school. The Senior class wolves leave the Iunior girls one long, drawn-out Whistle. We hereby appoint Edwin Maynard, Esquire, as executive of this, our last will and testament, and hereunto set our hand and seal this fifth day of Iune, 1945.

Thus, the class of 1924 is the charter class. This happens to be the twenty-first anniversary of its graduation, and twenty-one years is just about one com- plete high school generation. Chapman Technical High School is the third name under which the school has been known. lt was originally founded under the name Manual Training High School, later changed to Vocational High School. ln the winter of 1922-23 the department of education authorized the change to Chapman Technical High School. The class of 1923 was therefore the first class to receive Chapman Tech diplomas. The class of 1924 was the first class to complete a full scholastic year under the name of Chapman Tech. Social activity at Chapman Tech in the early twentys was rather limited. The big event of the year was Class Day, when the juniors were invited by the graduating class to take part in their pre-commencement exercises. The Class Day dance was the only dance permitted during the year, and the attendance was limited to the two upper classes. The class of 1924 had two or three socials in its sophomore, junior and senior years, and held one class picnic at 'Ocean Beach. This program madejt perhaps the most socially active class up to its time. Athletics during the period of the class of '24 were limited to four sports- football, baseball, basketball, and track. When the class of '24 was in its senior year, the school competed in what was then known' as the Eastern Connecticut Conference. When the '24's were seniors, the school did not compete with Bulkeley, the two schools having severed relations following the football season of 1922. During the senior year of the class of 1924, Tech won championships in basketball and track. The basketball team of that year won the Eastern Connecticut Council championship and then it went to Storrs where it won the post-season Eastern Connecticut tournament sponsored by Connecticut Agricultural college, Know University of Connecticutl. The Tech team of 1923-24 compiled an all time Eastern Connecticut high school record by scoring'l,OO2 points in twenty-six games. E. Bernard Hewitt, center on the team at that time, scored an individual total of 425 points which still stands as a one-year record by an Eastern Connecticut schoolboy player. Other players on that team were fcaptainl Edward Cruise, Otis Linkletter, Raymond 86 Beckwith and Iohn Andrews. These five played the greater part of every game as the reserve strength of the squad was not very great. ln track and field competition, Tech won the Eastern Connecticut championship with a team headed by Charles Eglise, lr., a sprint star who also excelled in the jumping events. The baseball team, led by Ellis Crouch, and the football team, captained by Howard Pearson, also had successful seasons, though they were nosed out of championship honors. lt is a curious coincidence that Howard Pearson, first Tech athlete to win a football letter as a freshman and all three years thereafter, and Edward Cruise, one of the out-standing four sport athletes in the history of the school, went to West Point and both, at this time, are serving in the U. S. Army with the rank of colonel. Iohn De Gange, Class of 1924. Standing-eStanley Taylor, Coach: Norman King, loseph Skoczylos, Iames Martin, Noble Hicks. lose-ph Zaporanek, Ernest Duhaime, Manager.

Eleven men with as much on the ball as any other eleven men in the Conference and a fighting spirit to prove it. We went to Windham and showed them how to play ball. Lew Gray, tackle, inter- cepted a lateral and carried the ball to pay-dirt. The pass- ing combination of Stetanski and Savona to Gardner and Collins paid high dividends. Final Score 37-6. Next week we again hit the road -this time for Norwich. 1 if fburv Rui., And, did We hit Norwichl Proving ourselves good mud- ders, we chalked up a 12-6 victory with loe Virga and Tony Serluca starring. Hope High ot Providence came to town and we Wel- corned them with good block- ing, passing and running. Hope High left town defeated by the Huskies, l8-U. sonable facsimile of a swim- ming rneet. We met Fitch with predominant precipitation and ground-Work. Gardner, Savona and Serluca directly made a score of 26-O. Stonington for tour quarters, they Won the next game Clyde De Roo, Assistant Coach through a quirk of fate and some end-runs. Our first defeat of the sea- son-7-O. Then, Bulkeley--untied, unbeat- en and favored. The Huskies rnet the favorites and pushed them all over the field. Mike Manoa and Gaspar Savona did lots of effective playing and Pryski's interception of Gardner's pass was aood for a touchdown in the first quarter. At the end of the half Tech led 6-O, and threatened the Tiqer tackles who seemed at a loss against the power- ful Huskies. ln the fourth quarter Bulkeley uncorked a freak play and lack Porter raced about sixty yards for the only Tiger touchdown. Hav- ing converted on a fake buck, the Bulkeley-ites chalked up the hard- fought score of 7-6. Lew Gray, Tech tackle, and Bob Daniels, Bulkeley tackle, were each awarded a Schwartz - Spaulding trophy for out-standing sportsman- ship, ability and character.

We successfully opened our short season of only ll games by chalking up a 53-29 victory over the Admirals. Next week we blitzed the Tangers of Robert Fitch l-ligh School, arriving back in town with the victorious score of 48-22. The Y.M.C.A. court was the scene of a hard-fought battle between the Huskies and Windham the next week. Fighting mad, we came out of the game the winners-48-27. Our trip to Norwich the next week proved to be a disappoint- ment. But even the best can't win all the time! During the last quarter our tie was broken by our opponents making a score of 33-36. The following week we successfully invaded Stonington. Score-57-35. Our next game was the 'big' one of the season. Cur local 116 rival Bulkeley visited us on the Y. court and we gave them a close run throughout the four quarters. With two of our best players out on fouls, Dates was forced to call the reserves in. That bit of luck for Bulkeley didn't last long because the Huskies walked out the winners with a score of 47-43 to their credit. Taking a second shot at Windham, we went to their home courts and defeated them in a close game 46-43. The next week Norwich came to town and again defeated us. ln the last quarter the Huskies threatened to tie the 40-42 score, but unfortunately the gun sounded before we could throw the ball. Better luck next time, boys! And we did get better luck! Playing Stonington on our own home-ground, we fought a successful and easy game ending with a 70-49 score. With eight wins and two defeats we are tied with Bulkeley for second place in the Eastern Connecticut Conference, with one more game to play-Bulkeley??? 117 qTL:, l2clfclq.w T DAC li 1945 WU H First Row: Donald Murphy, Ray McCue, Frank Austin, Iohn Gentil- lela, Robert Gilmore, lohn Muller.

HERBERT HENRICKSON, Coach l 18 of fr TDACIY 1945 Led by Coach Herb Henrickson, the path-trodding Huskies entered the season with some uncertainty. But as the season moved on, our boys entered both the indoor and out-door state meet and also the New England meet. With powerful Captain Fred Weynant heading the way in every meet, the Huskies finished the season fifth in both the state and New England meets. The indoor state meet was a one-man affair with Weynant winning the shot-put and setting a new record. Next came Bulkeley, and the Huskies trounced our local rivals with a 58-41 victory. Weynant was again the main factor in this meet. He was well-supported by Muller in the sprints and Austin in the distance runs. Following this win we next wound up second in the Eastern Connecticut Conference which was held at Morgan Park. Stonington was first and Bulkeley third. ' The boys then hit the roiad for the University of Connecticut where we competed in the State Outdoor meet. We chalked up 18-2X5 points and came out in fifth place. The next meet was in Providence where the Huskies competed in the New England meet. Our Fred Weynant was awarded the American trophy for being the out-standing athlete in the meet. Tech scored l3 points. 119 TACK CONWAY Coach BASEBALL Coach lack Conway was again faced with the problem of reconstructing a ball club with a foundation of only four return- ing first-stringers. Switching the positions of his veterans and filling in the gaps with reserves, the '44 team was well on it's way by the time our playing season began. Billard was our opener, with Linkletter pitching. Our team battered the Billard offerings for i6 hits and l8 runs. Score l8-l. Bed Turner, pitching his first game, whiffed lO opponents the next week at Pratt High School in Essex. Again we walked right over our rivals. This time with a score of 9-U. Our home game with Pratt wasn't much different from the one at Essex. Our Bill Gardner went on a batting spree and blasted a homer and three singles. Linkletter pitched again and we chalked up a score of ll-O. Norwich followed and was badly out-classed by a score of 12-l. Red Turner again starred. Our city rival, Bulkeley, was next in line to be defeated by the Huskies, being held to only two hits by Bed Turner during thirteen thrill-packed innings. Score-3-2. Next we attacked Windham-not once, but twice. We came out of both of the games the winners. The scores-l3-3 and 6-U. Again, Billard was defeated by the Huskies, as lohnnie Linlcletter pitched again. The score 9-l. Our Memorial Day game resulted in a 3-O shut-out victory over Bulkeley. Tech's ninth straight Victory! Qur last game was with the highly-spirited Norwich team, which clubbed itself to victory. Tech rallied in the end of the game, but, could not overcome the big lead that Norwich had established in the earlier innings. The score-13-8. Thus ended the '44 baseball season. A championship team of great fellows led by a champion coach. muhiunweu .A 122 ' f fff , fin -Q. ,gg pm!

Our rocket plane speeds in for a landing at three hundred miles an hour. This is fifty miles an hour more than the limit, but pilot Ed Maynard is late for his appointment with his hairdresser. At the airport we stop in at a diner which guarantees that the food we serve will always make you re- member New London. Much to our surprise we find it is run by Pat Lloyd and Frances Perri. Leaving there, we proceed up State Street and im- mediately collide with Mary lane Murray, who is rushing toward Helen Rotzko's Beauty Parlor because, as she frantically tells us, her pompadour is falling down. Attracted by the glass walls of the new super-ultra West- cott building, designed by Walter Buffington: we decide to make a tour of it. We meet lim Gaffney, president of the Humane Society for Basketball Players, who informs us that the city officials have their quarters there, and that he will show us the points of interest. First we glance into the city manager's office and note that the seat is filled by Tom Elke-and his blonde secretary. We then proceed to the office of Gene Hanson, newly elected mayor. Gene states that he has just lost one of his secretaries and now he has only three left to keep his hair combed. We sympathize! Our ears are then attracted by the sound of two feminine voices, apparently quarreling. It is then that we notice Ieanne Bugbee, child psychologist, and Pat Webber, head nurse, in a hot and blustry argument on the effects of comic books on children. Nurse Webber likes Superman. We then casually glance into the next office, where Adelaide Kathe, author of that current best-seller, How to Win Men and Influence the Same , is giving some of her well-known advice to Iune Cabral who is having trouble with football players. Leaving by way of the gold plated escalators, we spot Barbara Maynard and Ruth Linkletter -who always felt that their child-care experience would help them-each walking with two little cheerleaders. Up the street we spot the neon sign in front of the loe Virga's Model Agency, which boasts blondes in three convenient sizes. Looking across the street, we notice a green and yellow plaid barber pole. We shout, hello , to chief barber Rosario Spinnatof who claims super barber services with a doctor on the premises. He fails to hear us, however, so engrossed is he in the bull session he is having with W. Tillett, I. Romano, and B. Esposito, designers of the famous flying submarine. We are suddenly taken back by a violent gust of wind. We are informed by a passer-by that it is only Frank Austin, super speedy miler, warming up for the Marathon. Leaving State Street, we then proceed Tech-ward, knowing that we shall meet many of our class-mates at the reunion of our always-heard-of if not illustrious class.
