He became treasurer of the Board in 1946. Judge McCarry received his early education in our local schools. He attended Bulkeley High School but left that institution in 1917, while a sophomore, to enter Clason Point Military Academy. Upon graduation from the academy, he enrolled at New Haven High School, from which institution he received a post graduate Certificate. After attending Georgetown University for three and a half years, he decided to study law, and received his law degree from Georgetown in 1923. He practiced law in the District of Columbia for a year. He returned to New London where he established his practice in 1924. He was judge of the New London City Court for fifteen years 11925-19405 and served as Prosecuting Attorney from 1940 to 1949. He was a member of the State Legislature from 1931 to 1937. During the World War ll emergency, he was appointed chairman of the Selective Service Board of New London and served from 1940 to 1945. He was also a member of the Selective Service Board of Appeals. Judge 1NIcCarry is a member of the Thames Club and belongs to many other local organizations. 4 ZCO alfLifli0lfL u 1n l 'l'i - MR. FRANCIS ALLANACH Mr. Francis Allanach, one of New London's most prominent building contractors, is noted for the excel- lence of his work and for the high standard of his pro- fessional ethics. A member of many fraternal organizations, he is a Past Member of Brainard Lodge and a member of the Grand Lodge of Connecticut. We know him best as a trustee of Tech and a person whose unselfish devotion over a period of many years to the cause of education has helped the school tremendously. We, the class of l95l, are pleased to use the Torch as a medium for expressing the high esteem in which Mr. Allanach has been held by both faculty and students of Chapman Technical High School for his many years of devoted service in our behalf. 6 X mi. , 6 75 -if f X Q W f if f N 1 QW -- Q?

It is also the story of its growth and progress. During the years of Tech's existence one name has stood out among its many friends and guides, that of VVilliam Henry Chapman. The idea that later became a reality in Chapman Technical High School was born in the mind of Mr. Chapman, the late president of the Savings Bank of New London, chief benefactor of our school, and the donor of 3100,000 toward the construc- tion of a manual training school to be built in New London. He believed that the type of edu- HISTORY OF OUR cation being given around 1900 in the schools of New London was insufficient for the needs of every student. It was his belief that manual train- ing was also necessary to round out the schedule of those students who did not intend to further their education by going on to college and who badly needed a foundation in the many trades and crafts besides their regular academic training. With these ideas and beliefs he set out to better the education of New London youth. The school was incorporated on May ll, 1903, under the name of the Manual Training and Industrial School of New London. It is said Mr. Chapman Hrst intended to let the municipality run the school but then became fearful of polit- ical influence, changed his plans, and vested full control in a board of trustees. At about the time of the opening of the school, Mr. Chapman gave to this board 35100000 for operating expenses, a sum which brought his total contribution to 315200,000. This move made the school a private institution, instead of a part of the public school system. Upon land bought by the city for 37500, the original building was built at a cost of 343,350 With a faculty of either five or six teachers headed by Principal Frederick S. Hitchcock, the school opened its doors on the first day of October, 1906. Besides the academic curriculum, the school offered such technical courses as mechanical draw- ing, .forging, and general woodwork for the boys, in addition to courses in domestic science for the irls. g During 1914 the roof of the original shop was raised, walls were erected, and the present audi- torium was built and put into use. A special gift ' :, '..Q.:f,ta:.nfi i --- issMM1i-ffimmsmwd SCHOOL contributed in 1916 by the members of the Chapman family made possible the building of two science laboratories on the formerly unused third floor. A forging shop unit was also built at the south end of the school. From time to time machines, benches, and bookshelves were added to accommodate the increasing number of students. In 1915 the school name was changed to New London Vocational High School. Listed below is the course of study olfered in the Vocational High School catalogue: FIRST YEAR Technical fboysj English Mechanical Drawing Algebra Woodturning and General Science Pattern Making History QWest's Ancient Worldj Latin Technical fboysj Mechanical Drawing General Woodwork fgirlsj Domestic Science Domestic Art SECOND YEAR English Geometry Chemistry History fEnglish Historyj Latin Forging fgirlsj Domestic Science Domestic Art THIRD YEAR English Algebra Practical Law Business Methods French Latin Physics Technical fboysj Mechanical Drawing Machine Laboratory Practice 1.411 fgirlsj Domestic Science Domestic Art FOURTH YEAR English History QMuzzey's American Civicsj French Latin .1,l- ' Cboysb Solid Geometry Plane Trigonometry Electricity and Magnetism Mechanical Drawing Mechanical Laboratory Work fgirlsj Domestic Science Domestic Art Throughout the years the school grew apprec- iably, always advancing and steadily increasing both the number of students and faculty.

Alling, member of Board of Education, William C. Stuart, President of Board of Education, Henry L. McGuire, City Clerk. Again in 1923 the name of the school was changed. In honor of its founder it was now to be known as Chapman Technical High School. In 1937, after 31 years of faithful leadership, Frederick S. Hitchcock was retired from the office of principal and was succeeded by Horace G. Westcott, our present principal. During the middle '30's, the plans for another addition came into being. These plans were partially carried out on July 8, 1938, when two houses in the rear of the school were purchased. The Mechanical Drawing department was moved and occupied the first house, while the second house became a branch of the Domestic Science department. The new addition finally became a reality when in 1939 a loan of ?1lSl25,000 was acquired from the city for the purpose of constructing a building adjoining the original structure. This new build- ing contained a machine shop on the first lloor, badly needed extra classrooms on the second floor to accommodate the increasing number of stu- dents, and on the third floor the domestic arts and sciences' quarters. This new addition approx- imately doubled the school's faculty. The loan was to be repaid over a period of fifteen years by increasing the tuition fees of both the local and the out-of-town students. Another addition to the school was planned in the early part of 1941. Officials of the school wished to construct on adjoining land a three' story building to be used as a one year training school for post-graduates and others qualified for advanced training. The plan was for a first and second story with the third floor to be used for mechanical drawing. For numerous reasons, mainly lack of funds, because of the rising cost of construction work, this addition never became a reality. Another aim that was never realized was that of acquiring a building to house a gymnasium and a larger auditorium. This is the way that Tech has grown and pro- gressed, always forward and seeking upward, dur- ing the first half of the Twentieth century. We remember with pride that when in 1939, Gover- nor Raymond Baldwin visited Tech, he was highly impressed. lVith even more pride we re- member the evaluation study that was made September 23 and 24, 1941, by the officials of the University of Connecticut and the State Board of Education. The report given by Dr. Frederick Cousy, late professor of the University of Connec- ticut, stated, The school is rapidly developing a program which becomes unique in the U. S. Through the years of its existence, Tech and its many students have had numerous beacons guiding their paths. Such names as Chapman, Hopson, Matteson, Hitchcock, and Westcott are readily recognized. The school has become changed again. Now it is New London High School, for on October 17, 1950, the school was purchased by the city of New London and has become part of the public school system. This was done to pave the way for the construction of one city high school in New London. V Wle, the past and present students of Tech, should be proud to have been members of such an institution as Tech. Few are the schools where students receive the opportunities that are every- day procedures for us. We have needed no stu- dent council, no honor court, no police force at Tech. Instead we have found a friendly trustful- ness offered to us. This spirit that prevailed at Tech remains the guiding spirit of New London High School. It can be felt in our halls and classrooms. ,Now as always, no matter what the name of the school, that same spirit which grew out of the Manual Training and Industrial School, Vocational School, and Chapman Technical High School will surely never be lost. It continues in New London High. CWCCWUZ To serve as a granary in which are stored the records of our classes and the spirit of our school is the aim of this torch.

The New London Board of Education, led by the Superin- tendent of Schools, has as its greatest and most important duty the provision of a good education for every boy and girl of our city. The board consists of seven members appointed by the people of New London, who give both their time and effort to improve the city's educational program. The board of education has no standing committees. It operates as a committee of the whole on each school problem. The Board of Education is responsible for the repair and upkeep of all the school yards and buildings, and it is their duty to see that capable teachers, office help, custodians, and other employees are hired. It approves purchases of supplies, keeps financial records, and plans the yearly budget. Thus, the Board by furnishing the New London school children with modern equipment and cap- able teachers, gives each pupil a good opportunity for success in our schools. ff lib FN fu.

A i g , Q ff-., Superintendent of Schools The chief executive of the New London school system is the Superintendent of Schools, Dr. John Carson Albohm. He is legally charged with the over-all operation, curriculum planning and educational program for the school system. Dr. Albohm became Superintendent of Schools in 1948. Before coming to New London, he was Superintendent of Schools in Ridgefield, New jersey, from 1942 to 1948. He began teaching in New York City and subsequently taught in New Jersey. His teaching Field was history. He was Dean of Boys at the Dwight Morrow High School in Englewood before he became a school superintendent. Dr. Albohm is a graduate of New York University, A.B., A.M. and Ed. D. He was lecturer in education at the School of Education of the New York University from 1945 to 1948. Dr. Albohm is the author of Handbook for New Jersey Boards of Education. His major interest in education is public school finance and school administration. He is convinced that New London is similar to many other communities in the United States and in this sense believes that the citizens of New London must spend a great deal of time in helping the Board of Education improve the quality of education and the organization of education in New London. At present, he is concerned with the reorganization of the secondary schools, primarily to bring about a better educational program, grades one through twelve. Mrs. Mary T.

OFFICERS -IOHN M. SHEEHY Faculty Adviser SENIOR CLASS HISTORY 1947 - We enter on September 4th and start working diligently for the honor roll. We soon overcome our fear of the newness of it all, thanks to Mrs. Canfield and the other members of the faculty. We have homework in excess, books and more books to prepare us for the next three years. Steve .Iessuck gives us a good start, with Dick Hubbert helping out. Dienne Gonzales pushes the pencil and pinches the pennies. 1948 -1t's hard to believe, but we're actually sophomores now. It seems a great jump to us from the first year to the second. There is more participation in sports and Ron Rymash is considered our prize athlete. Dick Hubbert is elected president of the class. joe Haynes is the chief helper, Mary Ely our secretary, and Dienne Gonzales our treasurer. Mr Nitsche finds it no easy task to be our adviser. 1949 - We're upperclassmen now. The freshmen seem smaller than ever but not as green. W'e are now participating more actively in school affairs and are trying to keep our names on the honor roll. Our thoughts are centered in corsages, gowns, and tuxes for the Spring Formal. We take the Tech News in hand and assist with the Torch. Dienne Gonzales becomes president, Dick Hubbert lends a helping hand, Ron Rymash writes the minutes and takes care of the money. Mr. Cooke and Mr. Manning are our advisers. 1950 -It seems hard to believe that we are seniors at last. We have three years of hard work behind us. We're directing the lost freshman and trying to set a good example for them. W'e are losing more members to the service. Work! Work! Work! We work on the Torch, on our studies, and on after school jobs. Chemistry experiments are driving all of us mad. We're looking forward to June 1951, which brings Class Day, Commencement Exercises, and our senior dance. Ted Littlefield leads our ever diminishing group, with Dienne Gonzales assisting. Mary Ely takes care of the necessary scribbling, and John Darling counts our millions. Graduation and farewells will complete our four wonderful years at Tech. 31 miaza M PATRICIA JEAN ABBOTT Pat Pat is considering nursing as a career and we are sure she will suc- ceed.

XVe got ofl to a good start by electing John Shine as our president, Raphael Petrini as our vice-president, and Nancy Fargo as our secretary-treasurer. Many ol' our classmates discovered their places on the athletic teams, a goodly number making the football, basketball and baseball teams. Many others did their share in the band, glee club, and the many other school activities. lVe do more than our share in the work and the social activities so essential in school life.

PI-IYLLIS CANFIELD Faculty Adviser FRESH MAN CLASS HISTORY On September seventh, l950, about 350 excited and somewhat bewildered Freshmen entered through the doors of Chapman Technical High School. Under the guidance of Mrs. Canfield, we filled out our registration blanks and received our daily schedules. Mr. Westcott welcomed us by giving a short pep talk and preview of what the year ahead would be like. We then followed our schedules to the assigned rooms. In fifteen minutes we were to learn the names of our teachers and become familiar with their faces. The next day the upper classmen appeared and we were lost in the shuffle! After we were better acquainted, we chose Robert Neto, Joseph Hancock and Dolores May to represent us as president, vice-president and secretary- treasurer respectively. Under our able adviser, Mrs. Canfield, we have had many short but instruc- tive homeroom sessions. Occasionally we have had the special pleasure of longer and interesting assembly programs. In athletics we are most proud of our boys' basketball team whose record to date stands at six wins and no losses. In football, baseball and track many freshmen placed on the teams. Our first introduction to social life was the Hallowe'en Dance followed by the other traditional dances. We are proud to be the last freshman class to enter Chapman Tech and the first in New London High. Finally and significantly we are proud of our scholastic achievements and hope to continue our fine representation on the Honor Roll. We face the uncertainties of the future with confidence in our leaders and faith in ourselves. Qkesffmefz MISS MARSHALIJS HOME ROOM I First Row, left to right: C. lnliani -I. Snow, l'. I.aVier, .-X.

TORCH STAFF To surpass the outstanding work done by previous torch staffs was the goal set by the fourteen members of the 1951 yearbook. Considering printer's and engraver's bids, choosing color, cover design, work- ing on layouts and copy, were some of the tasks which had to be solved by the staff. It is the wish of the staff that this yearbook will serve in the future as a reminder of the many fond memories shared at New London High. First Row, left to right: D. Gonzales, M.

A ADVERTISING STAFF The financial end of a yearbook, which must be on a sound basis, was taken care of by the advertising staff. The mem- bers of the staff tackled their assign- ments with vigor and determination by soliciting ads from merchants of New London and vicinity. It is through the efforts of the adver- tising staff that our yearbook is a finan- cial success. In the years to come, members of this staff, as they leaf through the 1951 year- book, will be reminded of their part in making this TORCH the success it is. First Row, left to right: D. Gonzales, C.

The first half was under the banner of Chapman Tech and the second under New London High School. The squad started practice under the handicap of the loss of four possible starters. Three of the boys, Chris Bright, John Pollard and Clayt Nelson were called to active duty in the armed forces and the fourth, Joe Hassan, had to forego football because of a previous injury. Taking into consideration the loss of these four men and the inexperience of the squad as a whole, the season was a moderately successful one. The team placed second in the Eastern Conn. Conference with a record of two wins and one defeat. The overall record was three wins, five defeats and one game fWest Havenj cancelled because of the weather. Three of the boys, Co-Captains Ron Rymash and John Nossek and the diminutive Lou Cocilo, were named to the All Conference Team. Both of the Co- Captains were also given All State Honorable Mention. Cranston 7 - 34 Our first game of the season was played under the arcs of Cranston. A dazzling halfback named Pat Ruggeri paced Cranston to a 34-7 victory. Cranston scored in the opening minutes of play and again just before the Hrst quarter ended. They scored once more before we could get started. Rymash, the outstanding player on the field, drove over for our only touch- down in the middle of the second half. He also kicked the extra point. Cranston scored twice more in the third quarter to end the scoring. Rymash starred oEen- sively for the Huskies with a total of more than 200 yds by rushing from his new position of fullback. New Britain 0 -52 The second game was against New Britain who out- weighed and outmanned us. Tech held them to one touchdown in the first quarter, but New Britain went on to win,52-0. New Britain outdid us in everything but spirit and determination. While Rymash was the Tech standout, another bright spot was the work of Larry Morth and Tony Nenna, who served notice that they were after the starting job in the guard spots. James Buonocore Pat Santangelo gl -I ,pm Charles Louis Cocilo Windham 19-6 At lvillimantic we won our third straight game by beating Windham I9-6. Ryniash, our offensive star, scored twice in the first half and once more in the third quarter. Arnie Manwaring scored the extra point. .Iohn Nosseck, Bob Murphy, Pat Santengelo, and Don Reagan starred defensively. Two of the touchdown runs by Rymash were for more than 50 yards. For the third week in a row the passing of Hodges was far above average. Hartford Bulkeley l2 - 54 Playing for our First time under the name New Lon- don High, we lost to a superior Hartford Bulkely, 54-12. We played good ball in the first quarter but superior weight and size overpowered us. Ryinash was offensive star, while Cochrane and Finnegan were the defensive standouts. The Hartford Club was led by two All-State selections, Skelly at tackle, and Korsky at end. 7 A Robert -Iensen Co-Capt. john Nossek George Cochrane VARSITY SQUAD iii First Row, left to right: Coach Sturgis, Cocilo, Lloyd, Sarpu, Hilster, Co-Capt.

Rymash picks up about six yards around his own right end in the Bulkeley game. Hillhouse 6 -32 We suffered our fourth loss to Hillhouse 32-6. Although it was Ron Rymash who scored the touchdown, Jimmy Buonocore and Finnegan were the stars. Both boys threatened many times to break away but were caught at the last moment. Hillhouse has the best group of backs we faced all season and had a very big line in front of them. Stonington 27 - 19 In our first conference game we defeated Ston- ington 27-l9, for our first victory. We took an early lead as Russ Hodge passed to Wally Rogers for our score. Rymash kicked the extra point. Another Hodge pass to Rymash in the second quarter scored our second touchdown. Rymash kicked the extra point. Jimmy Buonocore scored our third touchdown when he broke loose on a 35-yard run. Rymash kicked the extra point. Our last score was made by our center Don Reagan, playing his first game of the year, when he inter- cepted a Stonington pass and raced to a touch- down. In addition to those mentioned above, Lou Cocilo and Larry Morth proved to the satisfac- tion of the coaches that they belonged in the line-up. Fitch 19 - 6 In our second conference game we defeated Fitch 19-6. Fitch took an early lead in the first quarter, but we quickly came back to score in the second quarter to tie it up. After that the game was ours. Russ Hodge scored two touch- downs on quarter-back sneaks to lead Tech offen- sively. Ron Rymash also starred as he scored once and kicked an extra point. The defensive play of Cocilo, Santangelo, Reagan and Rogers was excellent. Bulkeley 0 - 13 In our traditional game with Bulkely we were upset 13-0. A surprisingly strong Bulkeley line stopped Ron Rymash completely. New London threatened all the time but was always stopped short at the goal. Don Burke, Bulkeley star, was shifty and fast and slipped through our defense time and again. Rymash, Buonocore and Finne- gan starred offensively for New London High, while Reagan, Rogers and Cochrane played good defensive ball. In summary, the offensive standouts for the season were Rymash, Hodge, Buonocore and Rogers. Defensively the work of Nossek, Coch- rane, Cocilo, Santangelo, and Reagan were of the first order.

We opened our season by opposing a strong Norwich team at Norwich. Lacking experience and speed, we came out on the short end of a 65-34 score. We journeyed to Fitch and lost our second straight game of the season 54-42. We trailed all the way and our last minute rally fell far short. Connie Devlin took the game scoring honors with I5 points while John Darling hit for 9. In our first home game we beat Cranston 47-45. It ended a 20-game losing streak and produced our first win since the 49 season. Although 10 points behind at the first quarter, we played inspired ball for the remaining time. Ronnie Edmonds was high scorer with 12 points while Nickers and Don Chapman were superb on the defense. We lost our third game at 61-63. They outscored us in all but the last quarter. We were hampered by their pressing man-for-man defense. Connie Devlin was high scorer for our side with 12 points. We avenged an earlier defeat by edging out a 43-42 victory over Fitch. We led all the way and had to fight hard to fend off a desperate Fitch rally in the second half. Don Radicioni and Ronnie Edmonds hit for 13 and 12 points re- spectively. West Haven took a 20 point first quarter lead and increased it throughout the game to win 74-37. Ronnie Edmonds scored 19 points for a losing cause.

Connie Devlin was high scorer with l0 points, while Tom Hayes and Bob Nickers played good defensive ball. In our return game with Cranston they avenged their earlier 117-45 defeat by winning handly' 67-47. Cranston took an early lead which they never relinquished although we caught up some in the second half. Devlin was again high scorer with 10 points while Ronnie Edmonds was a close second with 8 points. An extremely tall Stonington High School team edged out a 64-53 victory at Ocean Beach and although Stonington controlled both backboards with ease, they had a tough time beating the smaller, but scrappy, Huskies. Ronnie Edmonds hit for l5 points while Devlin hooped ll points. Our first quarter jitters again ruined our chances to win as West Haven took a 68-50 victory from us. Still smarting from our earlier defeat by VVest Haven, we were out for revenge. Our first-period lapse permitted Mfest Haven to take a 23-9 lead. We went on to out-play them for the rest of the game, but it was too late. Don Radicioni was high scorer for our side with 15 points. In our last game of the season we were completely routed by Bulkeley 97-33. The l95l season, although not highly successful, was an improvement over last year. We had a season record of two wins and eleven defeats, and we tied for third place in the Eastern Connecticut Conference. With most of this year's team returning next year, we should look forward to a highly successful season.

BASEBALL Tech opened the season of 1950 with but one veteran, Capt. Ken Wade, and it looked as though it might be rough sailing for the Huskies, who have been noted for their good baseball teams for years. After a long period of try outs, Coach Jack Conway came up with a team that was in there until the last pitch, battling for the top position. The team was labeled by the press as the Young Hustling Huskies and they well lived up to their name, We opened the season by defeating the Faculty 9-0 without too much trouble. The whole pitch- ing stalf worked out in this game and looked very good against the oldtimers. Next Tech faced Pratt's no hit-no run pitcher of the week before and spoiled his record with a 9-5 victory. Ed Andrews and Dick Payne handled this one and were aided by the big bats of Tom Hayes, and Tom Fenton. In their third start, the Huskies dropped one to Stonington when they twice failed to hit with the bases loaded during the course of the game. Both Bob Gilmore of Stonington and -lim Vincent of Tech pitched good ball. X B if A1 4 Xi. Connie Devlen fig. at Win Cranfield . -fate. f I? xy f L Q ' Ioseph Romann fl NX! k-...Q .

Norwich Trade played a fine game against Tech but went down to defeat 7-4 when Billy Baldini hit a home run with two on base. Ed Andrews and Dick Payne split the pitching duties. Tech next traveled to Windham and dropped a heartbreaker 4-3 in twelve innings. -lim Vincent was hurt in this and had to retire in the ninth inning after pitching superb ball over the course of the regular distance. Next the team journeyed to Colchester and with the bat booming defeated Bacon Academy 13-2. Win Cramfield was credited with this one. Fitch came over and in an extremely tight pitchers' duel was defeated 4-3. Tom Hayes and Tom Fenton supplied the punch here and jim Vincent pitched a superb ball game. Norwich Tech was defeated for the second time 8-2 with Eddie Andrews doing a fine job in the box. Stonington was defeated 5-2 in a return game when Iim Vincent and Bob Gilmore hooked up again in a tight game. In this game Tech made their base hits count, with Johnny Hefferman doing the most damage. Devlin scores. Hefferman beats one out. BASEBALL The team then journeyed over to Groton and blasted Fitch l2-l behind the pitching of Eddie Andrews. This was rated as a tight game, but Tech bats were again booming and placed the Hustling Huskies in a tie with a home town rival Bulkeley for the championship. Johnny Hefferman and Billy Baldini were the batting stars in the game. With the two games with Bulkeley's veteran club left, the Huskies tackled them in the First one, which was a postponed game, and the teams played a 2-2 tie in a game that was called in the eighth inning because of a dense fog, and so the championship was to remain a tie until the final game scheduled two days later. In the Final game of the season, Bulkeley scored a run in the first inning and that was the ball game as Bob Cotnoir, the Bulkeley ace, limited the youngsters to three hits and was able to pitch himself out of a couple of hot spots. Thus ended a fine season with nine victories, a tie and three defeats. Capt. Ken Wade, Johnny Hefferman, Ed Andrews and lim Vincent have received their sheep skins and joined Tech's fold of athletic heroes. Next year's groups are looking forward to the season and we are sure they will carry on in the customary fine manner of all Tech ball clubs. 7, A ii . it Q- T . Hr ,. L' x,l,W,f ,,., ..
