CHATTO, MISS ANTHONY = = z The class of 1949 dedicates this yearbook to three teachers who retired in June after years of devoted service to the youth of Class- ical High School. Students fortunate enough to be in their classes will remember with gratitude the inspiration given them by Miss Robenia Anthony, Miss Marion Murphy, and Mr. Robert Rosenberg. ROBENIA EFSANTHONY On the occasion of Miss Anthony's retirement last June, Mr. Jackson paid her this tribute: She hid no axe behind her closet door. She never needed one. Her voice and look Cut clean through thickest heads. It seldom took A second stroke. Those youthful brains, before They met this force, all undue strains forebore, Or creased themselves with nonsense. Now they shook Stricken with sudden fear, and toward the book Or blackboard fled, sweet apathy forswore. Once in a while some home-spoiled lad or lass Sent in a note: “Oh, take me from her class; My nerves are gone and I shall never pass!’’ But most were wise. They later said with glee, Explaining Amherst ‘‘A”’ or Wellesley ‘“‘B”, “In Classical I had Miss Anthony.”’ We the class of 1949 heartily agree. MARION C. MURPHY Although Miss Murphy no longer teaches at Classical, those who remember her will always recall a patient and devoted teacher whose only ambition in life was to make better students and finer citizens. For many years, Miss Murphy also served as Senior Class Adviser. She took a sincere interest in the welfare and progress of her students. The keen understanding of the problems that face pupils in higher mathematics, enabled her to make classes both informative and inter- esting. During her years at Classical, Miss Murphy saw many of her former students rise to high honor in the world of education and finance. ROBERT W. ROSENBERG Classical High School has long enjoyed a reputation of superior scholarship. This mark of excellence would have been impossible without such teachers as Mr. Robert W. Rosenberg. In his many years of teaching Latin at Classical, he has gained the respect of teachers and students by his high ideals and quiet kindliness. Always interested in school affairs, Mr. Rosenberg was a familiar figure among the spectators at Classical’s games. It is only natural then that his retirement and the subsequent loss to the teaching staff is deeply felt. Our sincere wish is that Mr. Rosenberg may now enjoy the rest he has so well deserved. = ES = = ® = f Foreword We, the class of 1949, have chosen the Medieval Age as the background for our annual. Though some customs have lost all significance in the passage of time from that day to this, the ideals of character and honor still remain. We feel that Classical High School embodies these timeless traditions and also that of scholarship, the fruit of intellect. It is, then, with happy memories and maturing desires that we unfold the story of our three short years at Classical. ‘And there was no gate like it under Heaven.” Ab lwUVe Li beASsolM Di Ye HAL Look for her, this power called art So lovely and gracious, so sacred This goddess which captures and grips your heart Whenever she is appreciated— So glorious and inviting, so truly grand, This beauty so dear to us all. Look and you'll find her quiet and bland; The art in our assembly hall. As the hall is brightened, open your eyes; See strenghtening virtue guiding your rights The echo of triumphant justice overhead lies While Character, Honor, Scholarship, each enlights. Dominating inherited glory so bold, The pillars religiously tall — Reminding us of the standards we are to uphold The art in our assembly hall. Notice the mural which holds the key To success in whatever you do, Lighting the path to a world that is free, That has been made through unity for all that is true. Colorfully evincing the spirit of our school ‘Banishing the slaves of ignorance’ from each wall, We find it all manifested in rule The art in our assembly hall.

They strove with giants who fain would bar the way, Or dragons breathing flame, and slew them all. Then on the field of tourney rode the lists Before the stands all rich with cloth of gold Where ladies watched and cheered their champions on. Lance, sword, and armor glinted in the sun. While pennons fluttered and the trumpets sang. And that was long ago and far away. Long, long ago and very far away... And yet we still find giants in our path, Monsters of intolerance and hate, Ignorance and evil. There are dragons still Which would lay waste this pleasant land we love. You are the knights and ladies of your day, Stout-souled and valiant, eager for the quest. Go forth. God speed you. Fight your battle well! As you march out on graduation day Down the long aisle between your hosts of friends, It may well be that we who sit and watch Youth marching out into the world may glimpse The gleam of golden banners, hear the sound Somewhere, far off... the sound of trumpets blowing. . . CCE, Chetts SUARENGE ele CliAdel@® “Be thou the king, and we will work thy will Who love thee.” 15 BELDING F. JACKSON ‘And there were none but few goodlier than he.”’ 16 MIDDLE AGES MADE YOUNGER Many of my memories of the Middle Ages spring, armor-clad and trumpet-blaring, as yours do, from the pages of Tennyson's Idylls of the King, required reading in my high-school days as in yours. A little heavy on the side of romance, a little over-sweet in simile, the dylls still give out with plenty of knights and ladies, bowers and battles, shouts of victory and groans of defeat. Once in a while I have been tempted to bring a favorite passage down to date. Do you remember that pretty scene in “Launcelot and Elaine’ where the Lily Maid of Astolat shuts herself in a tower and gazes at Launcelot’s shield, imagining how each mark has been made upon it? “Now made a pretty history to herself Of every dent a sword had beaten in it, And every scratch a lance had made upon it, Conjecturing when and where...” What melancholy fun, reading history in the bumps on a beloved warriors shield! But let’s modernize it. Many of us have our bat- tered metal relics, which by the dents indelibly engraved on their surfaces, suggest to us the impacts of events past. So — The Senior rose him early every morn, Left household and sweet family, and went To the garage, and backing out his car, Gaz'd at its peeling sides, and so recalled The many times this noble chariot Had met the foe and conquered, yet escaped Not quite unscathed. And thus he sadly mused, Making a pretty history to himself, Of every bump a swipe had beaten in it And every scratch a curb had made upon it, Remembering when and where and how and why. This dent is fresh; that one year back; this scratch Dealt me at Riverside, and this at home When once I backed from out her drive too soon, [All heedless of Sir Walmer’s sage advice!] Still nectar-drugged from my dear lady’s lips. And ah God’s mercy, what a stroke was there, Which crumpled up two fenders and a hood, [Riding I was with no mind to the road, But all my thoughts on love's most jolly jousts. | It might have fatal proved, had we not chanced To roll us over in a new-ploughed field And thus were saved! Ecod, methinks it well That good King Harry hath the roads so paved That all his subjects may ride along With little care for troubles on the way; And sing a merry roundelay forsooth The while they bring the rude pedestrian down. BELDING F. JACKSON i MR. FINN In 110, dwells an honored personage whom every Class- ical student or graduate holds in high regard. Into this “Sanctum Sanctorum’ go students troubled by changes of program, puzzled by a choice of college, disturbed over bad marks, or just for friendly advice. There, as if by magic, all their problems are expertly solved with wise and patient guidance. This worker of miracles is none other than our own kindly and gifted counselor, Mr. Finn. MRS. BEMIS Many a Classical student owes the success of his pro- gram to our experienced counselor in 109. Mrs. Bemis, with patience and wise counsel, has guided both students and graduates to finer and higher goals. Alumni can not fully remember Classical without first recalling the warmth and sincerity of her character. 18 MISS STONE AND MISS FOOTMAN Elizabeth Stone and Margaret Footman are among those who work behind the scenes to keep the daily life at Classical running smoothly. As secretaries in Room 105, their responsibilities include manage- ment of college transcripts, attendance records, correspondence, and supplies. We greatly appreciate the vital services rendered by our genial and efficient senior secretaries. ELIZABETH STONE and MARGARET FOOTMAN MISS COOTE AND MISS LUCAS Barbara Coote and Evelyn Lucas, secre- taries in Room 107, feel certain that all problems which don’t reach the Student Government room eventually come to the school office. Students, teachers, parents, visitors — all seek office assistance. Even on normal days, problems arrive about three times as fast as they can be handled. Classical gives praise and thanks to Miss Lucas and Miss Coote for their patience, helpfulness and understanding.

This yearbook holds many memories for us — many friends, too. We have called ourselves knights and ladies because these titles represent the seniority and ideals which are ours. You, the juniors, we have called squires, or those beneath the nobility in possession of experience and knowledge. We have called you freshmen pages, since you are yet novices at our Court of Learning, Classical High School. Our faculty, we have named you the royalty, for your priceless treasure of wisdom is our camelot. 34 COURT OF HONOR ClUIME We yA Dye! Teaneeie Carol Bulkley Joan G, Collier @ Ellsworth D.

He started the sands running, and our famous class began making history. On that fateful day, we all met in the asembly hall where Mr. Chatto welcomed us as freshmen from seven different junior high schools. It wasn’t long before we realized that the school was being brightened up in pink, yellow, and green colors just for our benefit. The first day over, we started our muscle building exercises [which we were to do a thou- sand odd times during the next three years] by carrying home a pile of books that would make even Hercules groan. When our class officers were elected our year was destined for success. They were Bob Dow, president; Jim Baker, vice-president; Sue Desmond, secretary; Norma Wilson, treasurer; and Ted Chambers, member- at-large. Our able advisers were Mrs. Crane, Miss Horrigan, and Miss Shaffer. In November, just as we were getting to know all our teachers, we learned, to our sorrow, of the retirement of Miss Hawks of the English Department. Classical was fortunate to have Miss Boylan, the future Blue and White adviser, take her place. 82 Heading the list of our accomplishments was our being the first class to have rings in our freshman year and the first to have a freshman prom. Some of us made history by participating in the excellent Christmas Concert which was directed by Miss Clark. Much to our dis- appointment, this concert turned out to be her farewell performance. To complete the Christmas festivities, the Drama Club presented Dicken’s Christmas Carol, and the G.A.A. sponsored the Snowball Whirl Dance. It was during our freshman year that Classical adopted a French school. Needless to say, our French letters didn’t win any French prize, but they served as novel puzzles and guessing games for their receivers. Classical distinguished itself this year in sports by winning the Western Massachusetts Track Championship, and the City Championship in track, tennis, and rifle. It was a great loss to the school when Mr. Page left to work for the Cincinnati Reds, but luck was with us when Mr. Batt came to coach football. When the winter snows began to melt, Mrs. Levine, the new musical director, led Glee Club and Orchestra in a Spring Concert; and the Drama Club produced the spine-chilling, blood-curdling thriller, Ramshackle Inn. Then, on the last day of our freshman year, we left Classical for the summer, certain that there were many more days of fame ahead. JUNIOR YEAR As the sands resumed their steady flow through the hour glass, we returned to Classical to begin our junior year under the leadership of our president, Bob Dow; vice-president, Dick Spencer; secretary, Sue Manley; treasurer, Norma Wilson; and member-at-large, Ted Chambers. Many new teachers were there to greet us. They were Miss Kwapil and Dr. O’Grady of the English Department; Mr. Raisis, the new musical director; Mr. Bloom of the Mathematics Department; Miss Savoit of the Language Department; and Miss Hollister, the new girls’ gym teacher. We were sorry to learn of the death of Mrs. Brown, a former teacher, and the departure of Miss Michel and Miss Davis. Many of us took the B.U. tests in the hope that the results would prove us to be more intelligent than our report cards showed. Some of the luckier Classicalites had a chance to have driving lessons in the new dual- controlled cars. This new course was designed especially for those female drivers who have the tendency to step on the accelerator instead of the brake. A Pro Merito chapter was started by the Student Government. This organization entitled honor students to extra sets of books and passes from study halls. During the Christmas season, Mr. Raisis directed the Glee Club and Orchestra in an inspiring concert; and the Drama Club presented The Birds’ Christmas Carol, which starred two juniors, Marilyn Lettis and Carole Cassady. On a cold evening in March, Classical experienced the greatest thrill in its sports’ history. As the spirit of Dr. Naismith looked down on the Memorial Field House at Springfield College, a new Western Massachusetts bas- ketball championship team was acclaimed by four thou- sand cheering fans. For the first time in the history of Springfield schools, a local team captured the coveted crown. The Cinderella team of Wagner, Jenkins, Bris- sette, Spears, and Binsky brought undying fame to our school. To the tune of ‘‘Boston Gardens, Here We Come”’, Classical’s team, band, cheerleaders, and enthus- iastic supporters invaded Boston to participate in the New England Championship games. In April, we witnessed another championship per- formance when the Classical Band presented Musical Flirtations, a program of martial, concert, and swing music. But the biggest success for which we as a class were responsible was the Junior Prom held April 29th at the Hotel Kimball. The hotel was filled with novel spring decorations, gay dancers, and sweet music; our treasury was filled with that detestable [?] thing which is the root of all evil; and we were filled with pride and happiness. In May, in a blaze of colorful costumes and gay music, the Glee Club and Orchestra, under the expert direction of Mr. Raisis, presented Gilbert and Sullivan’s operetta, The Pirates of Penzance. The performance received ex- cellent reviews, and we did not soon forget the fine acting and singing and the tuneful melodies. At the annual play, which was Pride and Prejudice, we as a class swelled with pride to see four of the roles filled by juniors Eve LaLiberte, Connie Locke, Barbara Callahan, and Jack Surprenant. As the sands neared the two-thirds mark on the hour glass, we further distinguished ourselves at an assembly where scholastic awards were presented by various adult organizations. Hildegarde Drexl received the French Prize; Betty Johnson, the Radcliffe Book Prize; and Ellsworth Comins, the Harvard Book Prize. Amazed at the way two years at Classical had flown by, we left school, grateful for the few sunny months in which to prepare ourselves for the last, best, and most successful year of all. SENIOR YEAR Our senior year was one which Father Time filled with exciting and historical events. Our officers for this year were Bob Manley, president; Dick Spencer, vice-presi- dent; Sue Manley, secretary; Norma Wilson, treasurer; and Ted Chambers, member-at-large. It was with regret that we no longer found Miss Murphy, Mr. Rosenberg, and Miss Anthony at Classical; and it was many weeks before we cured ourselves of the habit of tiptoeing past 118. The new faces among the teaching faculty were those of Mr. Francis of the English Department, Miss Auger and Miss Dean of the Language Department, and Miss Parkman and Mr. Best of the Mathematics Department. Classical really went modern this year with a public address system presented by the P.T.S.A. We felt sorry for those unsuspecting speakers who got a grip on the microphone, a la Frank Sinatra, and who, giving full vent to their vocal chords, were promptly scared out of their wits by the loud noise which issued out across the hall. Throughout the fall, Classical’s halls resounded with violent arguments concerning who would be the thirty- third president of the United States. In spite of Class- ical’s infallible presidential poll, Mr. Dewey is. still governor of New York. This year the Blue and White shone brightly, as did the W.M.L.S.P. cup it won for 83 being the Best Year Book of 1948. Not to be outdone by its rival, the Recorder captured first place in the C lumbia Scholastic Press Award and in the National Scholastic Press Award for the year 1947-10948. With the approach of Christmas, the Glee Club and Orchestra presented the annual holiday concert at the auditorium. They also prepared a special and excep- tionally fine assembly program of Christmas songs which was transcribed to be broadcast December 25. The Christmas play this year was Christmas Trimmings, and it starred many members of our talented class. As usual during the winter months, the various senior committees could be found in 320 or the school library frantically trying to be witty and original. These rooms are probably still cluttered with torn pieces of paper, chewed pencils, erasers, sarcastic remarks, and odds and ends of gray matter. In January, some of us began thinking about college boards and scholarships, conse- quently gaining a few gray hairs and wrinkles. By April gth at 5:00, our worries were either all over or had just begun. The annual school play, Jane Eyre, turned out to be a big success and starred some of the most talented forty-niners. An inspiring performance of Handel’s Dettingen Te Deum was given in the spring by the Glee Club and Orchestra under Mr. Raisis’ direction. By May, one frantic look at the hour glass proved that the life of the Class of 1949 was almost over. We toasted our years at Classical at the Senior Banquet, and began to feel very old and very nostalgic at our marvelous Senior Prom. At the solemn graduation exercises, the last grain of sand fell through the hour glass, and with it fell a tear or two in memories of our friends, our helpful teachers, our struggles, and our successes during our three years at Classical.

We were clustered about the big fireplace in Assembly Hall of Ye Great Fortress Classical, polishing apples, when Stitchy looked up and said, ‘‘l wonder where everyone will be in a few years from now!” As if in answer, there was a crash of thunder and a blaze of blue and white lightning, and before our astonished eyes appeared Merlin, Wizard of the Ages. Reaching deep into the recesses of his black, swirling cape, he brought forth a strange box covered with knobs and dials, and equipped with a large screen. Wordlessly he turned a dial, and a voice spoke from within the machine . . “Hello there! This is your master of ceremonies, John Hammond, speaking to you from the Temporary Purple Room of the exclusive Lewis Hotel where the 1949 Classical Alumni are holding their gala radio-television broadcast at a class reunion. This program is being sponsored by the Colitti Funeral Home whose prices are, if you will pardon the expression, dirt cheap. ‘‘Nioow, to start the show off right, here’s Ralph ‘Phil Spitalny’ Clark and his famous all girl orchestra, star- ring Jacqueline and her magic violin. They will play for us Carl Hoon’s latest hit melody There’s a Bush in the Backyard, sequel to that old-time favorite A Tree in the Meadow. The featured soloist is Jessie Perry, Miss Television of 1950, with Margie Cosgrove, Estelle Lebo- witz, Nanc y Armour, Lola Pelcher, Bev Kretschmar, Maggie Brown, and Pat Fleming in the chorus. “While they’re playing, I'll step over here and inter- view some of our friends at the ringside tables. . . . Here’s Jay Venti, uptown financier, with his two business col- leagues, Dick Molinari and Howie Tresch, in consulta- tion with the law as represented by Captain Nancy Hamburger and Lieutenants Lois MacGregor and Mari- lyn Bristol. os at ; Lape, Uy) ag “Over there by the potted palms is Jack Stearns, director of HzO Anonymous. With him is Bob Warth, producer of the Desmond Picture Company's newest hit Best Seat in the House, starring Eve LaLiberte, Carole Cassady, and Marilyn Lettis. “Now it’s time for a commercial. Our sponsor is the Eberhardt-Pierson Nursery Home, highly recommended by the Rev. Dow and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Giles, and the Howards. “Back to the show, where the Coonan Twins, accom- panied by the famous piano trio of Koch, Combs, and Marchese are giving a rendition of Leprosy. During this number, we’ll visit more tables. . . . Ah, here we have twelve lovely models from the Surprenant Modeling Agency; Sally Ann Bartlett, June Irey, Carol Warshaw, Lois Blech, Lea Dorgan, Wilma Borg, Lynn Miller, Nina Chalk, Shirley Wood, Irma Raichelson, Sylvia Wiezbicki, and Marilyn Loomis. “And by the way, folks, for irritated throats use Burres’, Burt’s, and Burke’s cough drops, guaranteed to destroy your cough, throat, and anything worn around the throat when taken. . . . Now I'll turn the mike over to the talented lady draped over Gordon Smith’s horn, our own incomparable: Hildegarde — Drexl, of course. ‘Thank you, thank you! ... Who's this? . . . Why it’s the former Olympian champ and present manager of Wagner’s Gymnasium, Buzz Wagner. With him are three of his top instructors, Bill Kent, Paul Ayers, and Wallace Collins, being entertained by the Caraminas Shave Cream man, Dick Spencer, and one of his famous sport stories. Say, Dick, what ever became of Richard Littell, the $3,000,000 income tax man, after he lost the Morgan Marble Tournament to Bob Cignoli? . . . Oh, he’s at the Gallagher-Mitchell Home for Aging Bache- lors. That seems to be a thriving institution, judging from what I’ve heard. “Speaking of institutions, here’s Phil Metzidakis, top surgeon at the Ledger, Lenville, and Attleton Horse Hospital where Bob Crozier and Emmett Morton, best cranium-cutters in the country, are also working, with Nan Gowell and Betty Martin as superintendents of nurses, ‘‘A little walking music, maestro, please. As the famed chorus line of Sue Manley, Barbara Voelker, Pat Munson, Muriel Foggle, Barbara Willey, Adele Kittredge, Pat McInnis, Frances Aronson, and Jean Melin displays some of its precision work, we'll chat with more of these charming people. “Over there I spy the multi-millionaire Ellsworth Comins, who made his money on the newspaper The Recorder. Keeping him good company are Francis Cook, renowned scientist, and Charles Cutler, author of the new bite-size dictionary. “Folks, I have a message from Chris Carozi, cam- paign-manager of the Schmoo Party. She says: ‘Vote for Ravosa, Smillie, and Wilson Candidates by far the best! A couple of cats in every backyard, And in every dog house a guest.’ “Back to our ringside tables while the crowd dances to the music of Al Kasper and his boys. Here’s Bucky Stanley and his vivacious blonde wife with their pros- pective basketball team of sons. How are you all?... Over there we see Jean Hogan, Barbara Wallace, and Dorothy Curran with escorts Bob Manley, Dick Cun- ningham, and Gilbert Marcil. At the next table are representatives from the Mount Classical Teachers’ Association, Mary Metcalf, Margaret Fardy, Virginia Keith, and Carol Bulkley, reading comic books by Seymour Rudman, Denis Coggin, and Dick Carroll. “Flash! We just received a cablegram from our foreign ministers Deborah Platt, Kenneth Liatsos, and Allen Wakstein, wishing all a good time. Sorry they can be with us tonight... . “Here we are on the other side of the dance floor. Facing us is the Worser Business Men’s Convention, whose acting charman is that sophisticated Hollywood star who got his start in our own school play, Count Gerald Guthrie [honor bestowed by our representative to Lower Slobovia, Tom Barry, in a recent guest appear- ance]. Seated around the table are Orton Cushman of the Contented Cows Milk Co., Dick Blitz of the ‘‘We Will Keep You Warm in Winter’’ Fur Co., Andy Liaka- poulos of the Krusty Krumby Bread Co., Alan Hakes of the Hopless Beverage Co., and Muriel Latow of the Drape Shape Interior Decorators, Inc. n � ¥ . wo “Do I hear Laurie Stearns, our own Louelle Parsons? Let’s listen . . . ‘Next we have a handy hint on how to remove lipstick from any surface, told me in strictest confidence by Dr. DeSimone, well-known dentist, in one of his less boring moments. He has found that the Mackler-MacDonald Surgical Sterilizer removes all stains. This discovery was made, naturally, in the course of business. | believe that dental assistant Janet Finnan aided in the experiments... . ‘Shirley Palmisano, Gloria Kuselias, and Beverly Ottani have patented a new laughing gas successfully used by comedian Joe Hallett.... ‘“ “Touring the country is the All Girl Basketball Team of Agnes Fesuk, Jane Bushey, Ann Preston, Ellen Cohen, Jean Potts, Ann Burke, and Joan Schnetzer. Coaches are Ted Chambers and Ted Chase; the mascot is Neil Fieldman. .. .’ “Enough of that—now on with the show! I see that Norman Bassett, our television director, is setting the stage for the dramatic appearance of Las Primas Ballerinas, Judy Barger and Lynn Stein, who will do Constantine Arvantis’ version of Ruscio’s Swain Song, accompanied by Evelyn Loescher at the piano... . “That was lovely. ... While we’re in a Classical mood, the Noisyaires, with Dick Boutilier and Clifton Symonds, will give their rendition of Buttons and Beans... . ‘Fine. . . .

With the members of the Recorder Editorial Department serving as hosts, delegates from western Massachusetts school publications attended a con- ference on November 19 sponsored by the Hampden County Tuberculosis Association. The Recorder was represented at the mid-winter, 20th anniversary meeting of the Western Massachusetts League of School Publications held on February 11 at Commerce. Professor John H. Gleason of Boston University spoke on careers in journalism. Mr. Jackson was the anniversary dinner speaker. Dinner was followed by discussion groups on news writing and by recreation. Rabbi Isaac Klein of Kodimoh Synagogue and Reverend Bryan Archibald of hte First Baptist Church spoke on the Jewish and Protestant faiths respectively at an interfaith assembly sponsored by the Recorder Staff on March 30. Nancy Clark, who was accompanied by Mary Ellen Koch, sang ‘“The Lord’s Prayer’. Bob Dow led the opening exercises and Carl Hoon played a piano prelude and postlude. Ellsworth Comins presided over the assembly. Early in March the Editorial Department of the Recorder ran a short story contest. A picture of Barbara Bradlyn, the winner, and her short story, ‘Death’, appeared in the April Recorder. All who attended the ‘‘Newspaper Ball’’ held in the Classical gym on April Fool’s Day enjoyed dancing to the music of Ronnie and Al’s “‘Silver- tones’ and refreshments sold at intermission. Arranged by a committee from the journalism class, shmoos and editions of the March Recorder served as decorations.

At the fall convention of the Western Massa- chusetts League of School Publications, Connie Bou- chard, this year’s editor-in-chief, received the W.M.L.S.P. Index Cup in behalf of our school. Yes, the 1948 Classical annual won over all other yearbooks entered in the competition! This year, inspired by new desks and the gleaming Index Cup, the Blue and White staff has again attempted to produce a yearbook truly worthy of Classical High School and its traditions. It is sincerely hoped that the 1949 Blue and White will be enjoyed by all who read it. Professor Musgrave presenting Beverly Sanford with the Daily Hampshire Gazette Cup.

SO ee ee a NN ly. 4 tp h ™ a UNMawNées NV j ty : vi = : CR YN N AN A: re AW Ye, Ws , Se WGN Se Christmas Concert Proof of Classical High School's tremendous musical wealth lies in the impressive accomp- lishments of its music department. The Classical Band entered the Western Massachusetts Music Festival Competition which took place at the Eastern States Exposition. In October, the combined Glee Clubs and Orchestra displayed their talent at the annual Hampden County Teachers’ Convention held in the Munici- pal Auditorium. The following month, the Madrigal Club and Orchestra assisted in the Education Week Assembly. Shortly afterwards the combined Glee Clubs and Orchestra presented an inspiring Christmas Concert. Something new this year was the recording of a program of Christ- 104 mas music in which most of the student body participated. This music was then broadcast over a local station on Christmas morning. Meanwhile, the Classical Band had been boosting school spirit by adding brilliant color and rousing melody to our football and basketball games. Many of these stirring tunes were ‘repeated when the Band visited junior high schools throughout the city. The most ambitious undertaking of the year was the May presentation of Handel's Dettingen Te Deum by the combined Glee Clubs and Orchestra. Another active musical year was brought to a close with the memorable performance of the Glee Clubs and Orchestra at the senior graduation in June, 1940.

DRAMA Productions of the Drama Club this year included two one act plays, ‘“‘Christmas Trim- mings” and the ‘‘Taming of Eve’’. Stars of the former were Santa Claus, played by Gerald Guthrie; his burglar pal, Jordan Young, and the visitors, Aunt Kate and Uncle Joe, acted by Marilyn Lettis and Bob Dow respectively. ‘‘The Taming of Eve” starring Don Lewis and Eve LaLiberte gave a new twist to lines from Shakespeare’s ‘Taming of the Shrew’’. For Lincoln’s birthday a radio production of Norman Corwin’s ‘‘Anne Rutledge” was given over WMAS. In this play Ellen Leddy was Ann while Tom Barry portrayed Lincoln. Jane Eyre, the sixth annual play of the Drama Class was enjoyed by large audiences at Trade School April 22 and 23. Every attempt was made to secure authentic costumes and Victorian portraits of the cast and old fashioned handbills were used for programs.

Interest, earnestness, a willingness to pitch in behind scenes, and a desire to learn and to appreciate each other’s progress are characteristic of Classical’s thespians, who improve each year in poise, diction and interpretation by experience with well-written plays. The many phases of any dramatic production provide endless oppor- tunities for sharing and working together as well as for exercising initiative and displaying creative talent. Reward comes from audience approval when a play is produced and from one’s own awareness of improvement.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT As June of 1949 arrives, the Classical High School Student Govern- ment has again completed a very busy and profitable year. In addition to promoting new activities, the members have performed their regular duties of running class elections, managing student controlled study halls and the Bulldog PX, and operating the Lost and Found Bureau under the direction of Mrs. Flanagan. The most important project this year was the purchase of a public address system for our assembly hall. Money was raised by selling “The History of Classical High School” and by soliciting the P.T.S.A. association. Extra money was also donated by interested parents. Its installation has brought much enjoyment to all the teachers and students. The Student Government has worked very closely with the school office and the group appreciates every assistance of Mr. Chatto,our principal; Mr. Lynch, our adviser; and the faculty and students.

Members of this society are entitled to go to all school activities at specially reduced prices and are free from paying class dues. In his senior year, a three year member is given a free ticket to the senior prom. Sylvia Wiezbicki and Gloria Kuselias roint to progress of S.T.

Front row: Vivien Sylvestri, Gladys Walling, Samuel Shaw, Jean Easton, Classical enjoyed its second successful year of ‘‘Pro-Merito’’, the state-wide honor society, under the able leadership of serior president Elizabeth Johnson. The constitution was amended so that students having a B plus average are now eligible for membership at the half year. Honor passes and an extra set of books were given out to the new members. We journeyed to Palmer and to Greenfield to attend Pro-Merito Conventions there, and plans were made for a Pro-Merito newspaper, to be contributed to by all the schools in this area. Good luck to Pro-Merito in the future. 118 GIRLS’ PATROL Standing: Barbara Rowe, Jane Everett, Ann Sanborn, Lois MacGregor, Marilyn Bristol, Margot Bushey, Ina David- son, Jean Blomfield.

ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE The purpose of the assembly committee is two-fold — to plan suitable pro- grams and to raise the money necessary to execute these plans. Besides the regular collection, this year, the committee had the delightful idea of selling red, white, pink and yellow carnations on ‘‘Flower Day’’. Since all the flowers were sold almost immediately upon arrival, there was no doubt that this was a success. Many of the student organizations, such as the Science Club, International Relations Club and Recorder put on their own presentations. There were the eagerly anticipated drama productions, speakers from outside the school, assem- blies and purely humorous assemblies — all kinds — all entertaining. Advisers: Miss Sauer, Mrs. Holland, Miss Flannigan, Mr. Raisis, Miss Lucas. Associate chairmen: Nancy Hamburger, Carmen Ravosa.

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB The International Relations Club is the largest club in Classical High School. “To promote better understanding between the United States and the other countries of the world”’ is the club’s motto. The interesting and informative programs arranged by the club adviser, Mr. M. Corbin, are in keeping with this goal. The members have the privilege of hearing speakers from all over the world speaking on the conditions in their respective contries and the attitude of their people. These talks give the members a valuable insight into the troublesome prob- lems facing them and the rest of the world. These talks enable the students to grasp better the significance of national and international events. The Inter- national Relations Club prepares Classical pupils to be better American citizens and to be more fully conscious of their task of promoting lasting world peace. é Yniss marr ss Winet red CRO RO ARH CRO CRO CATE AND Ge ADE IT AWE ) 2 OR 5 CPR9 FS PRD Is PRD ORO BF CRS ECRO 5 CR Se CR 3 CRD CII Cf D2 eM ON GTO Ne Ny 2 = J MLS $ Gustafson | mr Schoenwet OP) sfe: : ae = x id ) 1 we - os 3 CH oa 8 CI 08: A S CoS IIS IO %KU Heze8 MLSS Oi We Blodc e Se.

SENATE The Senate offers Classical High School boys a chance to discuss matters of importance to themselves, their country, and the world at large. The Senate program includes debates, discussions, forums, and talks from visiting speakers. Thanks to Mr. E. Smith, the club adviser, the members have the opportunity to practice parliamentary procedure. [The Senators learn how to use reference material and, with its aid, present their ideas in an intelligent and logical manner. The Senators are able to further their work in the field of public speaking, a skill valuable for life today and even more so in the world of tomorrow. The Senate Tablet Debate and the American International College Model Congress high light the year’s activities and are looked forward to with eager anticipation on the part of the members. While at the same time enjoying the companionship of their fellow students, the members of the Senate gain important information and develop skills unobtainable in a class room.

Porter, the group holds bi-monthly meetings devoted to the appreciation of English in all forms. Activities include readings, dzbates, and discussions. On the lighter side, there are festive gath erings such as the annual Christmas party. Pierides contributes to school life by sponsoring an assembly program each year. To climax the year’s activities, selected members participate in the traditional Phillips Prize Speaking Contest. It is interesting to note that the membership of Pierides always includes some of the most active and talented girls in Classical High School.

SCIENCESGEUB Many Classical students join the Science Club to learn more about the technical aspect of science. Some join to keep up to date on recent scientific discoveries and inventions. Still others join simply because of an active interest in the world of science. Informative meetings, arranged by Mr. H. Lynch, the club adviser, consist of visiting speakers, movies, scientific apparatus demonstrations, and experiments. The Science Club tries to make its members conscious of their scientific heritage and of the constant struggle of man to better his environment and life through the magic of science.

REDIGROSSsCOUNCIL This year Classical High School started the first Red Cross School Council. Miss D. Theall, director of Junior Red Cross in the City, stated that the plan has worked out favorably. The slate of officers were Jean Sullivan, President; Seymour Elinsky, Vice-President; Cynthia Barre, Secretary; David Adams, Treasurer. The council ran successfully the ‘‘Hoop Hop”, a dance, after a basketball game. The money was used to send a Red Cross Box to Europe. The box contained enough supplies for 50 children. Classica l High School was the first school in the city to complete packing its box due to the hard work put in by their members. Mrs. F. Gaylord was adviser to the council.

Enjoying this indoor sport are a number of Classical students who have formed a stamp club. The club adviser, Mrs. Rhoda Hall, supervises the informative meetings. Lively discussions and brisk trading in stamps are part of every meeting. Stamps, aside from their economic value, are useful in learn- ing the history and geography of foreign countries. The Stamp Club serves a three-fold purpose. It gives philatelists a chance to get together, to learn more about the world of stamps, and to gather useful and interesting information. 130 With the prevalence of warm weather throughout the fall, tennis, field hockey, and riding enthusiasts had a very fine season. The month of November brought victory to the field hockey players when they defeated Tech and Com- merce. The showing for tennis increased over last year’s record, proving that the game is becoming more popular. From the large number who entered the tournament, Paula Coonan emerged as winner. Growing in popularity was riding, which is making a grand comeback after a long absence. The month of January brought out a varied program of winter sports. There was Life Saving at Trinity pool. There was badminton with the tournament from which Gladys Walling and Janet Kalgren were the victors. There was basketball in which the upperclass team won the City Championship for the fourth year. The Plain team, composed of juniors, won the interclass tourna- ment. In the bowling tournament, Shirley Wood was the highest scorer. The coming of spring brought out the softball bats and balls, and golf clubs. Not to be forgotten are the members of Outing Club, who, ‘‘whatever the weather, are all there together.” FIBRE Ds iOGKE YY FIELD HOCKEY —ENTIRE TEAM Back row: Patricia Craib, Dorothy Swift, Dorothy Stone, Jacqueline Zandan, Beverly Keene, Jane Bushey, Mary Mitchell, Judy Skipton, Luci lle Archibald, Barbara Hollister.

Beginning in January, we practiced two afternoons a week to perfect our skills. By the end of February we were ready for our first game. A hard fought battle with Commerce brought success for us, 30-16. Our second encounter with Trade was also triumphant, 41-14. The final interschool game with Tech gave us the City Championship. The freshmen team won all of their games with the other schools. In the interclass tournament, the Plaid team came out on top. We must not forget our coach, Barbara Hollister, under whose direction we became champions. 138 BADMINTON Back: Norma Erickson, Martha Warren, Jane Bushey, Barbara Wilson, Beverly Keene, Mary Menard, Janet Kallgrenj Hannah Riesenfeld, Dorothy Swift, Dorothy Stone, Jean Potts.

Carrying cut the theme of advertisements, the girls arrayed themselves in costumes that represented everything from ‘‘Rinso”’ to ice cream. December brought the Christmas dance. The revelers were greeted at the door by Santa Claus and his Candy-cane reindeer. The gay holiday mood was enhanced by the music of Carmen Ravosa. Phil Green supplied the music for the square dance which brought to a close the successful year of G.A.A. frolics. G.A.A.

BASEBALL Classical’s record of five wins and five losses does not do full justice to the strength of the team. A streak of bad luck or an unexpected upset saddened many a Classical bench-warmer. In the inter-city series, two defeats by Cathedral, one of them a toth inning heart-breaker, wrecked all hopes of a city champion- ship.

PHILIP METZIDAKITIS All City and All Western Mass- achusetts Tackle FOOTBALL Classical’s football team, coached by Henry Batt, compiled a record of four triumphs, one dead-lock, and three losses. The three setbacks and the tie game all came at the hands of Class A elevens. Co-captain Wagner, Spears, Stimets, Bar- bieri, Warth, Gorham, Maxwell, and Spen- cer lugged the leather from the ‘“‘T”’ forma- tion employed by Coach Batt, while Co- captain Metzidakis, Chambers, Keith, Col- lins, Reilly, Dragon, and Harper com- prised the hard-hitting forward wall. Phil Metzidakis’ dependable line-play and Bob Spears’ pass-snaring brought them All-City honors. No serious injuries were suffered by any members of the squad, adding a happy note to the successful campaign. The Bulldogs initiated the 1948 season by losing a closely contested 18-12 setback to Chicopee at Szot Park. Unable to pene- trate our line, the Red and Gold forces took to the air for all three of their tallies. Spears and Gorham bore the brunt of the Classical attack as ‘‘Metz’’ and Harper cleared their path of would-be tacklers. The Suffield Jayvees were easy pickings for the Bulldogs as the Classical gridders romped to a 13-0 win at the Academy’s field. Bob Spears accounted for both T-D’S. The Blue and White controlled the ball all afternoon with Ted Chambers spoiling the opponents only scoring threat by hauling down a Suffield back headed for pay-dirt. The Bulldogs received an unexpected 13-12 setback from West Springfield High in an arc-light contest at Veteran’s Field. With only 20 seconds of playing time re- maining, the Westsiders tossed an aerial partially blocked by a Blue and White back, finally falling into an opponent’s hands. The Terrier end held the pass and raced to the goal-line as the Bulldog hopes faded. Playing on a rain-soaked field at Am- herst, the Classical eleven administered a decisive 20-0 trimming to Amherst High. Wagner chucked the wet pig-skin to Kelly and Stimets for touchdowns despite the un- favorable conditions for an aerial game. Stimets added a third tally by scoring on a running play from six yards out. Cham- bers’ and Metzidakis’ line play proved too. much for the Maroon and White’s backs whose efforts were stifled by the alert Classical line. Classical’s own fumbles beat them as Cathedral drubbed the home forces, 30-0, in a sad showing under the lights at Pynchon Park. The Bulldog backs dropped the elusive pig-skin five times in their own territory and Cathedral regained all five to set up their scores. The line played a stellar game but received little help from the ball-toters. Sr ES Sia ms “f The Bulldogs cashed in on only one of the scoring opportunities in gaining a 6-o victory over the stubborn Trade Beavers. Wagner-to-Spears aerials brought the ball down to the Trade goal-line where Wagner swept his end for the tally. Spears’ pass- receiving was an important factor in the Classical win while Bob Warth slashed through the Blue and Gold line all after- noon compiling considerable yardage. Fred Keith’s block of a Ludlow punt was the turning point of the Bulldogs’ 14-6 triumph over the Jutetowners in an after- noon tussle at Pynchon Park. The Batt- men threatened only twice but on both occasions scores resulted. Wagner’s pass- ing set the stage for the T-D’s. Ludlow was forced to pass for their six-pointer. The Bulldogs were forced to come from behind to earn a 6-6 deadlock with the Tech Tigers in the final game of the year. An intercepted pass resulted in the Orange and Black score. The Blue and White eridders knotted the count as Barbieri hurled a T-D aerial to Stimets in the last period, Stimets kicking off balance in the ae 2 finale. . : ae .

BASKETBALL SEASON The Classical High basketball team, coached by Sid Burr, failed in its defence of the Western Massachusetts Title. The Blue and White cagers cap- tured the first round in the City League but lost their opportunity to enter the tourney for a second year in a row by losing a play-off game to Cathedral who eventually won the crown. Co-captains Bill Kent and Buzz Wagner led the Burrmen to a nine and nine record. Wagner’s defensive play and Kent’s shooting were important factors in the Classical victories. Jenkins, Stanley, and Spears rounded out the first five of the line-up while Cunningham was called on for frequent action. Loyal Bulldog rooters filled the new Memorial Field House, scene of the Blue and White’s home encounters. A summary of the season goes as follows: 158 SSICAL 14 — Hortyoke HIGH 39 Scoring only four tallies in the last half the Blue « White were snowed under by the fast-1 ing Holyoke attack. CLASSICAL 34 — AGAWAM 48 After leading by a single point at the half- time, the Bulldogs faded badly in the second half to lose their fourth in a row. CLASSICAL 27 — LUDLOW 25 Coach Burr’s fiery forward, Dick Cunning- ham, came throv when the chips were down by hooping a last minute basket en- ably the Burrmen to capture their second win of the season. CLASSICAL 27 — HOLYOKE CATHOLIC 26 Tom Lampson’s basket in the final seconds decided this nip and-tuck battle as the Bulldogs were off to a flying start. Lamp- son topped the scoring column for Classical with 12 points. CLASSICAL 24 — WESTFIELD 44 A third quarter rally by the Bombers spelled defeat for the Bulldogs before a crowd of nearly 5,000 fans at the Memorial Field House. CLASSICAL 44 — AMHERST 52 Despite Co-captain Bill Kent’s fancy exhibition of shooting, the Burrmen dropped their second tilt of the season to Amherst 52-44. Left to right: Ronnie Clark, Doug Jenkins, Bill Wagner, Bill Kent. CLASSICAL 30 — WESTFIELD 42 The Westfield quintet continued to hold the upper hand in their series with Classical making use of a third canto rally to stop the Blue and White charges 42-30. ASSICAL 42 — COMMERCE 24 Here’s number three. The Bulldogs easily outplayed the Crimson Wave to earn a 42—24 victor CLASSICAL 41 — TECHNICAL 35 Big Ron Clark swished 15 tallies to lead the Burrmen to an exciting win.over the Tech cagers before a capacity crowd. CLASSICAL 33 — CATHEDRAL 30 The Classical five continued at their red-hot pace by handing the Panthers an impressive 33-30 beating. CLASSICAL 41 — TRS ; Bill Kent and Ron Clark featured a Classical rally in the second period which paved the way for the Bulldog’s decisiv triumph over the Beavers. CLASSICAL 48 — COMMERCE 21 The Bulldogs made it five in a row by trouncing the hapless Crimson quintet 48-21 at a colorful double-header at tke Field House, Left to right: Doug Jenkins, Bob Spears, Bill Wagner. CIASSICAL vs. 1 2Cr CLASSICAL 24 — TECH™ICAL 54 All good things must come to an end, thus did the Burrmen receive a sound 54-24 thrashing from the Tech courtmen to end their 5 game winning streak. CLASSICAL 22 — CATHEDRAL 43 The Purple Panthers avenged their earlier defeat at the hands of Classical by dealing the Blue and White team an over- whelming 43-22 loss. CLASSICAL 45 — FIOLYOKE CATHOLIC 32 Again the Bulldogs found the victory trail in registering a 45-32 win with Kent hooping 15 points for the Burrmen. 161 CLASSICAL 50 — TRADE 43 After fighting on even terms for the first half, the Boys in Blue finally established a lead and coasted to a 50-43 triumph as Kent netted 20 tallies. CLASSICAL 31 — HoLyoKke HIGH 51 Holyoke’s fast break was too much for the Burrmen to keep pace with. The smooth-working Holyokers won 51-31. CLASSICAL 34 — CATHEDRAL 48 This is the big one that got away. Ina play-off to decide the city league crown, the Bulldogs were beaten by the Panthers 48-34 in a closely contested game.
