The Graeco-Roman civilization was characterized by a perpetual search for Truth and Beauty. The Classical epoch in civilization left the world a heritage rich in knowledge and tradition. During our three short years at Classical High School we have attempted to place a finer set of values upon the principles with which we hope to conduct our future lives. Throughout the 1950 Blue and White are allusions to Classical mythology as well as illustrations of Greek and Roman culture suggestive of patterns of activity here at Classical High School. Mt. Olympus was the dwelling place of the gods and goddesses who ruled mortal destinies in literature, music, art, drama, and sports. Classical High School has been our Mt. Olympus. As the Greeks listened to a reading from Homer, so we students have listened to our teachers as they expounded the Pythagorean theorem or the power of steam or as they impressed upon us that our major task would be an attempt to hold the world together. Like Mercury, our school publications the Recorder and Blue and White, have borne our messages. Our club activity has been for many of us as varied as a richly ornamented vase. Our girl athletes have enjoyed more success than Atalanta in her race with Hippomenes. The boys in 1950 are still as enthusiastic over tournaments as the classic torch bearers. ’ Some of ‘‘the glory that was Greece and the grandeur that was Rome’ has been our heritage here at Classical High School. rs DEDIGASEION The wealth of knowledge and experience that we have gained are due to the untiring efforts of our teachers. Our future careers in life and our roles as American citizens will be the results of their patient and sincere indoctrination. In gratitude we dedicate the Blue and White of 1950 to the faculty of Classical High School.

CHATTO Principal The gods of Mount Olympus Dwelt splendidly alone Above the gleaming snow fields And towering cliffs of stone. The bright arch of the rainbow They made their shining road When down to earth they traveled To walk where men abode. Men dreamed their gods with wonder And shaped them to their use: The toil of dark Hephaestus, The power of mighty Zeus, The beauty of Apollo, The pride of doughty Mars, The wisdom of Athena Clear shining as the stars. Behind the misty centuries The golden gods are dead, But still the ancient virtues Can stand us in good stead: Wisdom and strength and courage To meet the weary day, Toil to build the future, Beauty to light the way. CComenara, Chait MR. SWEENEY A kind and understand- ing friend in every respect who is never too busy to say an encouraging word is Mr. Sweeney. Classical welcomes Mr. . Philip Sweeney, our new vice- principal, and hopes he will enjoy his work here. MR. MARSH Although Mr. Marsh was with us only a short time, his patience and sincerity made a favorable impression on all at Classical High School. Al- ways willing to aid a student in need or trouble, he soon gained the reputation of an impartial and just assistant- principal. Ts MRS. BEMIS We owe much to Mrs. Bemis for the generous, a- bundant help she has given us in our three years at Class- ical. We are grateful too for the valuable suggestions she has offered so willingly in all our work. Tact and enthus- iasm are two of the most out- standing characteristics of Mrs. Bemis. It has been a real privilege to enjoy her friendship, Mrs. Bemis with Karin Johnson [left] and Jean Cannon [right | MR. FINN Mr, Finn is constantly in demand by many Classical- ites for. numerous requests of assistance and information. He may start the day by first straightening out a confused Freshman’s program, then gently breaking the news of the B.U. Test to a Junior, and lastly advising a Senior on col- lege preparation. On the lighter side, Mr. Finn attends Classical’s sport games as an official representative of our school. Mr. Finn and Adele Nalepa 13 Miss Elizabeth Stone and Miss Margaret Footman take care of the numerous records for Classical High School students.

FRESHMAN YEAR On September 9, 1947, about 250 nervous fresh- men climbed with effort the State Street hill to claim our stations at Classical High School. We were all strangers then, but as we looked at each other in the special assembly hall, we somehow knew that we would all be the best of friends before the end of our three years. We began our year under the advisership of Miss Kelley, Mrs. Flanagan, and Mr. Oliver by electing Richard Brown, president; William Hobbs, vice-president; Lois Dietch, secretary; Lee Quimby, treasurer; and Rudolph Cutler, member-at-large for our class officers. We had been in school only a few months when we knew that our freshman year would go down in Classical history as a progressive one. For the first time at our school, driving lessons were started, student-controlled study halls were set up by Student Government, and the Pro Merito Honor Society was established. We were on our way. Christmas time proved to be the season for pre- sentations. Under the direction of Mr. Anthony Raisis, our Glee Club gave the annual Christmas concert at the Auditorium. We were full of antici- pation and excitement as we marched side by side to the Auditorium in the traditional procession. Not to be outdone, the Drama Class presented “Bird’s Christmas Carol,’’ under the direction of Miss Dorothy Savoit, and the G.A.A. sponsored a Christmas dance. It was on March 13, 1948, however, that we ex- perienced our biggest thrill of the year. After winning the City Basketball Championship, our Bulldogs dribbled on to claim the title of Western Massachusetts Basketball Championship. N rd 1950 WILL COMMITTEE Seated left to right: Joan Balise, Gladys Walling, Joan Mansfield. Standing, left to right: William Hatch, Doris Ackerman, Virginia Taylor, Roger Rioux. As the days became warmer and the sunshine plentiful, so the hearts of Classicalites became lighter, for summer vacation was not far away. The last big productions of the year were given. The band, under the direction of Mr. Stanley Woujick, presented ‘‘Musical Flirtations’’; the Drama Class presented ‘‘Pride and Prejudice’; and the Glee Club presented the colorful operetta, ‘The Pirates of Penzance” starring Jerry Millette, Ronny Maxwell, and Nancy Clarke. Our always-to-be-remembered freshman year came to a close with the last event of the year, the freshman prom, ‘‘Spring Fling’, which was held in the gym on May 7, 1948. JUNIOR YEAR Once more on September 8, we climbed State Street hill, less aimlessly this trip, to view with curiosity the new recruits. We began our junior year under the leadership of our president, Ronny Murray; vice-president, William Hobbs; secretary, Connie Szczebak; treasurer, Dick Melville; and member-at-large, Sidney Kittredge. The well known faculty members, Miss Anthony, Miss Murphy, and Mr. Rosenberg had resigned, and their places were filled by Miss Dean, Miss Park- man, Miss Auger, Mr. Best, and Mr. Francis. The annual B.U. tests took place in October. The month was not complete, however, until the “Blue and White’ and ‘Recorder’? each received a W.M.L.S.P. cup for the excellence of their publi- cations. The first meeting of the year of the P.T.S.A. was highlighted by the use of the newly installed public address system presented to the school through the efforts of this organization. The festive holiday season was ushered in by the presentation of the play, ‘‘Christmas Trimmings”’ QUOTATIONS COMMITTEE Left to right: Marvin Sadik, Paula Kranefuss, William Hobbs, Sally Cooper, Martin Kelley, Nancy Ott, Richard Hirschhorn, Nancy Bowerman, Paul Cohen. with Martha Okun representing our class. The traditional holiday concert at the Auditorium plus the G.A.A. Christmas Dance climaxed the 1948 activities at Classical. “Taming of Eve’ presented in January by the Drama Club starred many of our talented juniors including Martha Okun, Dick Melville, and Ronny Murray. In April, two events of magnitude took place. The first was the concert ‘“‘Dittingen Te Deum.”’ The second was ‘‘Jane Eyre’, a play that will long be remembered by those who attended this excellent presentation. Our Junior Prom, the ‘‘Coronation Ball’’ was held at the Hotel Kimball on May 2 with Johnny Roger’s band furnishing the music. From a bevy of previously selected beauties, Judy Hespelt won the honors and was crowned Queen of the Ball. Thus we came to the end of our junior year and as we parted for another vacation we realized that the next time we returned we would be seniors, and felt that many of the most glorious times which would add much to our history, were yet to come. SENTOR YEAR With confidence this year we hurried up State Street to see if the old crowd were back. Now we were ‘gods of all we surveyed.’’ The honor of being seniors was ours at last. Our office rs for this year were Sam Shaw, president; Nancy Cooke, vice-president; Connie Szczebak, secretary; Dick Melville, treasurer; and Jean Easton, member-at- large. Missing from the ranks of the teaching staff were Mrs. Gaylord, Mr. Jackson, Mr. Raisis, Mr. Francis, and Mr. Best. They were replaced by Miss Marston, Mr. Pease, Mr. Amerman, and Mr. Marsh. 78 PICTURE COMMITTEE Seated, left to right: Shirley Silverman, Martha Okun, Doris Ackerman.

At the annual W.M.L.S.P. convention held at the University of Massachusetts during October, Classical’s ‘Blue and White’ gained possession of the W.M.L.S.P. cup for the thirditime, The play, “Pop Reads the Christmas Carol,” presented under the direction of Miss Sauer, and the annual Christmas concert, presented under the direction of Mr. Amerman, were our two suc- cessful Christmas productions. During the winter months that followed, the Drama Club also pre- sented “Who Gets the Car Tonight,”) Elmer,” and ‘‘Orchids for Margaret,” starring many of our talented seniors. The forming of various senior committees occu- pied the time and thought of many of our class during the winter months. Then too, we began seriously thinking about college aptitude and achievement tests. The annual play, ‘‘Little Women,” presented on May 26 and 27, starred Sally Reisner [Meg], Mary Donovan [Beth], Martha Okun [Amy], Jack Surprenant [Father], and Dick Melville [Professor Baehr], and the annual spring concert, ‘Il Hear America Singing,’ presented on May 12, climaxed the end of a successful year of school presentations. Our Prom on June 2, banquet on June 9, and graduation on June 13 will be long remembered by the Class of 1950. We have conquered and now in retrospect see our instructors in a different light. It is they to whom we must now turn and thank for their diligent prodding toward our goal. May we work out the dreams we have visioned here, and make Classical proud that she has given us so much.

Fame, glory, and honor are accorded those prophets whose predictions time has verified. From the Oracle at Delphi in Ancient Greece through the ages, there periodically arise people whose mysterious powers hold for them the key to the future. Man’s curiosity as to what the future will bring to him has never been satiated. Even the class of 1950 cannot graduate but with the secret desire to know what we shall be doing in twenty years, where we shall be living, or what degree of success we shall have attained. How many times when we were little did we dream of becoming a fireman or a policeman? How many times have we played the ditty: “Rich man, poor man, Begger man, thief, Doctor, lawyer, Indian chief ?”’ In those days, the idea of future career could be seen only faintly in the distance. Today we are older and the situation has become a reality. With the receiving of a diploma, childhood days have ended and it is with a mixed feeling of regret and solemn pride that we start forward on the next step of our future career, be it college or a vocation. 80 Years ago, a person in doubt about the future would consult an oracle, accepting the prediction as inevitable and divinely inspired. Today, the ultimate measure of success is determined solely by perseverance, ambition, and personal integrity. The graduation of the Class of 1950 is a mile- stcne in the history of Classical High School. The year 1950 marks the turn of the twentieth century. We have a great deal for which to be thankful. We have to continue our life career. Some of us will become doctors, lawyers, and perhaps even firemen and policemen. We may have in our class future judges, statesmen, and even a President for opportunity is unlimited. The jobs of bank officer, department store manager, corporation executive, general, mining engineer, radio technician, teacher, social welfare worker, nurse, doctor, architect, inventor, diplomat, res- taurant owner, salesman, actress, dietician, writer, secretary, housewife and many others may be filled by members of our class. But above all, we will graduate as American citizens, conscious of the roles we will play in the development of our country and the world. God willing, may each one of us realize his dream of a successful career. cut] hiv0e- . 7 a” JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Left to right: Dorcas MacGregory, Secretary; Marilyn Greene, Vice-President; James Egan, Presi- dent; Martha Manley, Treasurer; Helen Anderson, Member-at-large. Outstanding ability in the field of scholarship, contribution to useful extra- curricular activities and a fine spirit of cooperation are the notable achievements of the Class of 1951. Looking ahead to their senior year, the junior class will strive to be worthy of the Classical tradition. The leaders of the class and all its members confidently share the belief that the Class of 1951 will make its mark in Classical High School and in the community after graduation.

Chatto, Classical High School, admires cake, commemorating 20th Anniversary of W.M.L.S.P. which he founded. PARE CONVENTION Wav i les: Ee Classical High School was honored in several respects at the fall convention of the W.M.L.S.P. held at the University of Massachusetts. At this conference, the league celebrated its twentieth birthday. Our yearbook won the award for excellence in its class. But Classical High School took most pride in its principal, Mr. Chatto, founder of the League. In an editorial in the Springfield Union for December 10, 1949, recognition was given Mr. Chatto for his leadership in the promotion of high school journal- ism. Through the courtesy of the Springfield Union we quote that editorial: SCHOOL PUBLICATIONS “The 20th anniversary year of the Western Massachusetts League of School Publications should not pass without a tribute to Clarence Chatto, Principal of Classical High School, founder of the organization, and the first chairman of its advisory board. “Some 35 high schools in this area today constitute the league and nearly 300 delegates attended its annual convention at the University of Massachusetts recently. When Mr. Chatto an d others gathered in Springfield in 1929 to found this Western Massachusetts journalistic league, the present members were not yet born. “Those who were its original members have moved along to journalistic, educational, and professional heights. Early members are on the editorial staffs of Springfield and other dailies throughout the country. Today’s members, too, will be the nucleus of future newspaper staffs. “Our anniversary greetings to Mr. Chatto and through him to all the other past and present faculty advisers to the W.M.L.S.P., to the staffs of our Western Massachusetts high school newspapers, yearbooks and literary magazines, and to our University of Massachusetts for providing today a vital educational service.” Q2 PRESENTATION OF INDEX CUP — FALL CONVENTION OF W.M.S.L.P.

For this was 122, the sanctum sanctorum of the Blue and White. The first thing our visitor noticed was the new equipment in the room, full-fledged desks recently inherited from Commerce High School. Expecting to find tomb-like silence in so severe an establishment, the visitor was rudely surprised to find sufficient noise to indicate the presence of life in the room. The sound of ‘I pass’, ‘“Blackjack!!’ coming from the rear of the room shocked the guest who was hurriedly reminded that those staff members “bring home the bacon’’ in the form of sorely- needed advertising dollars. Practicing the subtle arts of the rubber hose and the rack, Alan Shapiro, Eli Warsaw, David Marshall, Robert Golledge, and Andrew Georgaroudakis gently persuade eager advertisers to contribute over $400 a year to the Blue and White treasury. Hearing what sounded like ‘African termites lost in a tom-tom,”’ our guest moved in the direc- tion of one of our expert typists who was racing along madly on one pinky. He was introduced to the young woman, Barbara O’Conner, who was surprised when he bent to kiss her hand. ‘‘En- chante,”’ he softly murmured over the 1808 Remington. Continuing his tour of 122, the guest arrived at what seemed to be a round-table discussion among Richard Hirschhorn, editor of the Blue and White, George Brooks, the boys’ sports editor, and Larry Zimmerman, the picture editor. They were discussing deadlines for write-ups. Richard was prophesying dire consequences for delinquents. Turning around, the visitor was startled to see several Brinks’ men with sawed-off shotguns, carefully guarding the two subscription editors, Morgan Potts and Frank Cerveny. The guest was informed that, for the convenience of the students, an installment plan was instituted for the first time this year. This system, along with the privi- lege of buying either a hard-covered or a soft- covered book had raised the sales until over 70% of the student body had subscribed to the 10950 issue. Still haunted by memories of the horrifying scene he had witnessed only a few minutes before, the guest made the acquaintance of two filing cabinets —or rather their lovely ‘‘keepers’’, Adele Nalepa, Karin Johnson, and Mary Stearns. Regretfully leaving these three new friends, to whom was en- trusted the important job of collecting piles of information and statistics, our guest found himself in the midst of a long line which was slowly moving forward. Being told that Lana Turner was not at nevertheless, to find that the line led to the one and only Martha Okun, associate editor of the Blue and White. She was busy making picture appointments for the 258 members of the Senior Class. Reluctantly taking leave of this charming acquaintance, the visitor met Miss Gladys Walling, the Girls’ Sports editor. These two new friends had an absorbing conversation for several minutes on the respective merits of playing first-base or knitting argyl socks as an end in life for women. Not being a very convincing debater, the guest resumed his stroll. Suddenly, he stopped! Could he believe his eyes? Could it be’ There, sitting at a desk, smiling pleasantly at him, sat a person who was actually calm, peaceful, serene, tranquil. Hastening over to meet Miss Teresa Boylan, the Blue and White adviser, the guest felt that maybe now he would find out the truth about the Year- book. He knew that at the fall convention of the Western Massachusetts League of School Publi- cations, the Blue and White, for the third time, carried off the first prize for general excellence. He knew that the yearbook which the staff was now working on was the fifty-fourth issue dating all the way back to 1896 when it was published by a fraternity. How could this be? A madhouse turn- ing out a book that is prized for years and years by former Classical students? Seeing the expression on his puzzled counten- ance, Miss Boylan turned to him, sweetly saying, “My dear guest, you just don’t know the Blue and White.’’ And the guest politely agreed.

This is true because the Recorder has a distinguished heritage to live up to, a heritage which each suc- cessive staff has felt compelled to fulfill. Since first published in 1887, the Recorder has continually been a servant of the students of the school; its complete file would prove a compre- hensive early history of the students, some of whom became the foremost men and women in the community and others who attained even greater heights in the fields of public service and entertainment. Throughout its sixty-two years, the Recorder has served a three-fold purpose; it has been a servant of the present, the past, and the future. In its contemporary service, the Recorder brings to the ever-growing body—news, constructive and enter- taining feature, up-to-date sports information, and what it hopes are guiding editorials; in its service to the past, the Recorder endeavors to keep alive the tradition that has consistently made its school one of the most respected in America; in its service to the future, it is fulfilling the implication of its name, to record for ‘‘posterity’’ the events, great and small, that go into the keeping of what we now call the ‘‘Classical tradition.”’ But perhaps the Recorder has served even a greater purpose; perhaps it has lent something to the high school life which will make that life remem- bered even as life at college is remembered; perhaps it has helped to keep prevalent the fact that three years at Classical constitute a great deal more than an insignificant part of our lives, but rather that these years are a building block, which, when recognized as such, can be a guiding beacon for the future. No, we of the Class of 1950 do not recognize this fact now, perhaps it will always escape some of us, but those of us who may look back with a touch a reverence, gratitude—and nostalgia may finally fathom the real importance— the kind of greatness—of our years at Classical. If the Recorder has helped this great goal in any way, it has more than served its purpose.

The Glee Clubs and Orchestra under the direc- tion of Mr. Warren Amerman presented the annual Christmas Concert at the Municipal Auditorium in December. Both the Glee Club and the Orchestra are to present an annual spring concert and will assist at the senior graduation in June, 1950. The Girls’ Choir, consisting of a few selected voices, sang for the Classical High P.T.S.A., and had a special part in the Christmas Concert. Another group of equal importance in our music group is the Madrigal Club. This group sang at the Wesson Memorial and Maternity Hospitals at Christmas time to cheer up some of the patients. The Classical High School Band under the direction of Mr. Wougick took part in the Eastern States Exposition this year and took top honors.

STUDENT -GOVERINMENAE The Student Government of Classical High School has completed a year of interested, worth- while, and conscientious endeavor. The members have willingly given their time and effort to exe- cute the will of the student body and to assist in conducting school activities. The Student Government supervises class elec- tions, student-controlled study halls, and the Bulldox P.X. Its members also aid in operating the Student Treasury, and so aid in the upkeep of certain types of school property. One very im- portant duty of this organization is cooperating with Mr. Chatto, our principal, in making school policies. The French school, in Le Havre, adopted by Classical, brings Europe and her problems closer to Classical’s students. The Student Gov- ernment has charge of this project. A new and important achievement of the Student Government this year has been the com- pilation of a handbook for freshmen and other students new to Classical. The members of Student Government deeply appreciate the valued assistance and counsel of Mr. Lynch, our adviser.

Each week the students enjoy watching a program put on by some of our school organizations, or listening to an outside speaker. This year our most outstanding assemblies have been the plays put on by the Drama class, a physical education display cn American judo, and a very interesting talk by Dr. Hill, our former principal. The Assembly Committee is made up of representatives from every student organization in the schocl. The committee, with Richard Hirschhorn as chair- man, has the able and gracious cooperation of Mr. Chatto and Miss Lucas, and several other faculty members.

This fact is clearly brought out by the great increase of members in International Relations Club, a jump of from 50 last year to over 150 this year. The best description of I.R.C. can be found in its motto, ‘‘World Citizens of Tomorrow.’’ The purpose behind I.R.C. is to acquaint its members with the problems of today so that they will be well informed citizens of tomorrow. To gain information on world problems, the club holds debates, panel discussions, and has talks by guest speakers. Among the speakers heard this year at I.R.C. have been Dr. Isaac Klein, Mr. Richard Kolm, Mr. Hubert Kregoloh, Miss Sarah Pease, Rev. George Fischer, Captain Frank Kenny, The presentation of a doll to Shukas Barputi, by Lawrence Zimmerman, IRC President. Standing with Shukas, are her par- ents, Mr. and Mrs. Barputi, who were speakers at IRC. Dr. James Gordon Gilkey, and others. I.R.C. also holds club memberships in the Foreign Policy Asso- ciation. Among its activities of the year, the club sponsored a Care package to Europe, an assembly on the idea of a Dr. IQ show, and individual membership cards to its members in good standing. I.R.C., which is the largest of Classical clubs, meets bi-monthly. It was founded by Miss Harriet Marr fifteen years ago, and has made great strides since that time. This year, through the combined efforts of the members themselves, the officers, and with a great deal of credit to Mr. Corbin, the adviser, International Relations Club has had the most successful year in its history. THE Soe NAche One of the more popular, larger, and older clubs of Classical High School is the Senate. The aggenda of each meeting is so diligently prepared that all the members anticipate every meeting with interest. The program of each meeting consists of sundry topics which vary at every bi-monthly meeting. The Senate encourages members to practice parliamentary procedure, to obtain and use reference material for discussion or debate, to deliver a debate in a presentable form, and to express ideas intelligently and logically. Every year the members of the faculty and student body anticipate the Senate Tablet Debate. The victor of this debate has his Left to right: Samuel Shaw, David Vincent, Andrew Georgaroudakis, Lawrence Zimmerman, prepare the Senate Tablet Debate. name engraved on a marble plaque.

Did you hear that rumble from room 227? Well, I did. Let’s stick around and see what gives. Ow! No wonder so much noise. There is a room full of girls in there—no doubt discussing about the latest Paris creations, or the boys in their lives. But wait a minute! That girl! The one I’m pointing at! Listen to her. She’s giving a discourse on the significance of the Balkan prob- lems. And what is she doing! Who? Mary is critically analyzing Pope’s ‘“‘Criticism on Man.”’ That cute blonde is talking to her friend about .. . NO! Ibsen’s ‘‘Ghost.’’ Now hold it. The young lady near the window is . . . NO!

This is Classical High School. What in the world would the Muses be doing here? Please put me straight. Oh, | see. These girls call this sewing circle the Pierides Club and they throw the ball around every other Monday to discuss world affairs, art, music, the dance, et cetera. You say that some of their ideas are good! Then why is the world such a hectic scramble. Why don’t their ideas solve the problems of the universe? Oh, I see. It isn’t their fault that “Harry” doesn’t consult them on our political aids, that Einstein forgets to ask them to solve an equation, that Shaw writes a play without first asking their opinions, and that Milton Berle never drops in to find out what is wrong with radio and television? Well, is it? Of course not. But does this discourage them? Not at all. Remember, they are the Pierides Girls.

Morton Heafitz, the president, took the lead and the other three cars followed on closely. We soon reached our destination—the Westinghouse and were cordially welcomed by two guides who showed us through the factory. They explained very thoroughly but simply the assembly of the refrigerator parts as we very inquisitively looked on. But more than the assembling of the re- frigerator parts, our memories included the trips to the Vanilla Extract Company, West- over, and especially our Christmas party— ice-cream, cooki es, cokes, and lots of fun. The Science Club constituted those espec- ially who were going to make science their career, but membership was ofen to all. However, we the members of the Science Club, were all bound together by our com- mon interests in science, namely the better- ment cf the world in which we live.

The bi-monthly meetings are most meticulously pre- pared by Mrs. Rhoda Hall, our adviser. Each meeting is devoted to different topics in the stamp world. At all meetings members have the oppor- 123 tunity to witness shrewd trading and lively dis- cussion. Also, all the stamp journals are circulated so that the new issues may become known and discussed. The main purpose cf this club is to give Classical philatelists an opportunity to meet and discuss various topics related to stamp collect- ing which is the main purpose of this club.

HI-Y If one were to pass the Y.M.C.A. on a Wednes- day night and if he saw a group of young men conversing in a serious mood, he would be sure that this was the Classical Hi-Y. -Under the direction of Mr. Amerman, this club has lately beccme a very popular organization of the boys at Classical. The topics discussed at meetings differ from the conditions of society to sports in general. The annual Hi-Y assembly has become so popular that it is eagerly awaited by the faculty and student body. The highlights of this year were the Annual Dance, which was a great success, and the Boys’ Conference of New England. We were all pleased this year by this convention, for William Hobbs, our club president, was elected president cf this group for the year 1950. The purpose of this club is two-fold. It gives the boys the chance to meet and to be acquainted with each other, and to uphold all Christian morals and conceptions and to make more secure their common link, their Christian heritage.

RIED PiOChME: “Drive that ball. Forwards, stay on a line.’’ These were some of the sug- gestions heard as Miss Hellister coached Classical to another city championship in feld hockey. More than sixty girls showed up for practice at Forest Park every Tuesday and Thursday from September to November. The results of this constant practice showed up in their first interschool game. There, the Classical upperclassmen demonstrated their superiority by defeating a com- bined Tech-Commerce team 1-0. Not to be outdone by the upperclassmen, the Classical freshies held the more experienced Tech-Commerce second team to a O-o score. ; In an attempt to avenge themselves for these defeats, Commerce challenged Classical to a return match. The ‘‘Classigals’’ upset their hopes of victory by defeating them 3-1 to become city champs again this year. 130 UPPER-CLASS TEAM ==CITY CHAMPS Back: Beverly Keene, Lucille Archibald, Judith Skipton, Julie Joslyn, Cynthia Leonard, Helene Gray, Mary Ann Mitchell.

BASKETBALL “Classical girls, city champs in basketball.” This now familiar phrase was heard again this year as the ‘“‘Classigals’’ had another undefeated season. From December through April the ‘‘Freshies’’ practiced on Tuesday while the upper- classmen brought the balls out on Thursdays. In their only interschool compe- tition, the upperclassmen defeated Commerce by a score of 23-12. Bev Keene with 11 points and Nancy Cooke and Terry Rabitaille with 6 points each did all of Classical’s scoring. The tight zone guarding of Mildred Johnson, Cynthia Leonard, Rosemary Ross, and Gladys Walling kept the Commerce forwards from scoring with any consistency. On the same day the Classical freshmen defeated the Commerce ‘‘Freshies’’ 32-24. Carrie Adams and Judy Streeter were high scorers for the game. Although it wasn’t possible to schedule a game with Tech, Classical can still claim the city title since Commerce handed Tech a sound beating in their game. Much of the credit for the success of the Classical girls should go to their coach, Miss Hollister. In the interclass tournament the ‘‘Plaids’’ went through another undefeated season to retain their title of champs. In capturing this title, the ‘‘Plaids’’ amassed a total of 237 points to their opponents 26 in five games and won their last game by a default. 133 PLAID TEAM INTER-CLASS CHAMPS Left to right: Lois Dietch, Rosemary Ross, Millie Johnson, Sue Rich, Gladys Walling, Nancy Cooke, Terry Rabitaille.

BOWLING “Look, I got a strike!’’ This phrase was heard often from November to March as the “‘Classigals’’ bowled ’em down at the Bick- ford and Apremont Alleys. After bowling for four months, about sixty of the girls met at Bickford’s for the interclass tournament. There the Juniors demonstrated their bowl- ing ability by topping both the Seniors and the Freshmen in total pinfall to annex the title ‘“‘School Champs”. High single and double strings for the tournament were turned in by Gladys Walling and Mildred Johnson, both Seniors. In the interschool bowling tournament, Classical came in second, losing to Commerce by seventy-seven pins. An interesting feature of this match was the fact that Classical took high team single string, high single string, and high three strings, but failed to HOW. THE JUNIORS DID IT! win the tournament! Mildred Johnson with high single string and Sue Rich with high Barbara Selden. three string were the Classical aces who turned in these performances. 138 SIGHTING THE PINS Left to right: Patricia Walsh, Jayne Crockett, Mildred Johnson, Gladys Walling.

SOFT BALL Despite some disappointments, softball was on the whole a successful venture for the Classigals. Practice was held at Forest Park every Monday and Wednesday in the spring under the direction of Mrs. Gaylord. Teams were made up every day and the more advanced players conducted their own games while Mrs. Gaylord coached the beginners. After several days of practice the Classigals met Tech in their first interschool game. This game was little more than a warm-up for the Classical team as they defeated Tech by a 24-2 score. Classical’s continued scoring slowed the game so much that it had to be called after five innings, otherwise the score might have been even greater. The game with Commerce was nothing like this. The Classigals, who must have used up all their good play in the Tech game, lost by a score of 6-26. This year Classical is going to try to make both scores sound like the score of the Tech game. 140 WILL SHE BE SAFE? ANOTHER CLASSICAL HIT! A HIT FOR@EECH! IT’S A HOMER! HERE.

Well neither did the Classigals at the beginning of their senior lifesaving course at the Trinity pool. Under the direction of Mr. Eugene Wessells, the girls learned the answers to these and many other questions. This course which is open only to senior girls is offered from December to May. Before beginning their life saving lessons, the gir's brushed up on all their swimming strokes. Then they turned to the work of approaches, carries, and breaks. The course concluded with a test in the water on the many require- ments mastered. 142 Second row left to right: Gladys Walling, LIFESAVING JUMP Left to right: Lois Dietch, Rosemary Ross, Gladys Walling, Betty Barrett.

The fun started on October 20 with Freshie Day, when the girls of the class of ‘‘52’’ sported a be- coming [?] array of knee length skirts, ankle socks and knee socks, a backwards blouse, six pigtails on half their hair, a necklace of pins, and a shopping bag for books. On the night of the twentieth, the gyms were bright with colorful ‘“‘Americana’’ cos- tumes at the initiation party. Everyone enjoyed the games, singing, square dancing, and skit which made the evening an exciting one. On February 10, the Classigals and their escorts promenaded to the music and calls of Frank Hart- soe and His Melodie Mountaineers at the ‘‘Barn- yard Swing,’”’ the annual G.A.A. square dance. The next big event was playday. Each year one high school plays host to the other three schools for a day of sports and fun when teams are formed 145 irrespective of schools. This year’s host, Classical, gave the teams college names. Included were Dartmouth, Army, Navy, Princeton, Yale, Brown, Harvard, and Holy Cross. After a day of basket- ball, volleyball, and badminton, prizes were award- ed to the winning teams. Holy Cross won both the basketball and the volleyball tournaments, with Navy the runner-up in both. The badminton tournament was won by Dartmouth. At the end of the year letters, numerals, athletic charms, and honor pins were given out to partici- pants and winners of tournaments. A new pin was devised this year for the honor pin winners. These are the people who have obtained at least 30 G.A.A. points every year for three years and who have had no failing marks on their report cards. The last event of the year was the G.A.A. picnic in June. HONOR PIN WINNERS Back row left to right: Theresa Rabitaille. Beverly Keene, Jean Easton, Barbara Stratton.

With few excep- tions the Bulldogs more than held their own against the toughest competi tion Western Massachusetts high schools had to offer. In the two fall sports, soccer and football, there was a marked deficiency in the point getting department. Neither team could produce a consistent scoring threat and this deficiency was not entirely offset by fine defensive play. As it was, the football team lost three of its four games by six or less points. One notable achievement of the football team was the 13-7 defeat it handed previously undefeated Ludlow High, the Class B Champions. In the big game of the season Tech squeaked past the hard-fighting It was a heart-breaking loss after such a hard struggle. Bulldog Eleven by the narrow margin of 6-2. Basketball proved to be the biggest sport attrac- tion as large numbers of enthusiastic rooters crowded the Field House to watch the home games. Unfortunately, erratic shooting and team- work caused the potentially fine team to lose several important games and thereby lose out on the city championship and invitation for the Western Massachusetts Tournament. However, the team did get an invitation to the Assumption College Tournament at Worcester where they finished as runner-up. The overall record for the year was 14-5. The hockey team in its fledgling year played an excellent brand of hockey to go undefeated until the last game of the season when West Springfield shut them out 2-0 to take Western Massachusetts However victories over Tech and Trade gave Classical the City Championship. With the nucleus of a fine team remaining Classical should honors. have another championship team next season. The 1949 spring athletic teams were not for the most part outstanding. The standout achievement of the spring campaign was the copping of the Western Massachusetts title by the undefeated tennis team. In all its games the team had only two points scored against it for a truly commend- able record. Such are the results of Classical’s participation Still, it is difficult to evaluate the teams and players by records and cold statistics. in high school athletics. These do not begin to describe what a team does or what it means to a player. The true picture of a team can never be put in the record book; the hard work and sacrifices; the hopes, and sometimes heartbreaks; and most of all, the companionship. These are the true results of a team. Unfortunately, we of the Blue and White must deal only with the superficial results of the athletic season. While we put in the book only pictures and records we feel confident that the true results of the teams are cherished forever in the hearts of those who were on them. bi I sic ce .¥ TRACK TEAM 1949 Back row left to right: Asst.

The season may be summed up in four words, ‘‘too much’’ and ‘too little.” One day the team would look very good burying a hapless opponent while the next would find Classical totally lacking any of the day before’s punch. For the most part, weak hitting and poorer fielding made the team’s show- ing unworthy of the players it was made up of. Team spirit was noticeably lacking especially after Stitchy Brock’s quitting due to an injury. In fair- ness, it must be said that the student body gave very little support. Standout performances were Ralph Clark’s pitching and Jerry Guthrie's stickwork. ‘‘Stitchy”’ Brock, Bob Cignoli, Fred Keith, and ‘‘Buzzy”’ Wagner were several other players turning in creditable performances.

Against such competition as Tech, Easthampton, Ludlow, Commerce, Chicopee, Westfield, and Enfield only two points were scored by the opponents. Such fine playing merits well deserved praise to Captain Ronald Lee, Warren Fuller, Arthur Seaver, Dick Prothero, and Coach Henry Batt.

Angelo Barbieri and Dick Stimets scored in a losing cause. CHICOPEE — Classical put up a scrappy fight against a much bigger Chicopee eleven. The Bulldogs were forced to play most of the game in their own territory with only a few threats to the Chicopee goal line. WARE — Classical at last got into the win column by outlasting Ware in a game that featured a lot of action but little scor- ing. Bob Spears and “‘Skippy’’ Gorham combined to lead the running attack, Skippy scoring the lone touchdown. A superior and much improved Classical line dominated the play. FOOTBALL GAMES aes ‘ PA 7, ArMs ACADEMY — Bulldog backs had a field day as they ran roughshod over a definitely outclassed but very scrappy opponent.

They stormed from one end of the field to the other, but Tech held close to the goal line on every occasion. The Blue and White’s only score came in the fourth period when Dick Stimets punt- ed the ball out on the Tech one foot line. Two plays later Fred Keith broke through the Tech line and dumped the ball carrier for a safety. LupLow — The Bulldogs vented their rage over the Tech defeat by ruining an undefeated season for Ludlow, the Class B champions. The game featured the Class- ical line which opened gaping holes in Ludlow territory. Ludlow’s highly touted backs were pummeled every time they tried to come through or around the Classical line and early in the game Ludlow was forced to depend on an erratic passing attack. Dick Stimets scored in the first period and Angelo Barbieri tallied on a quarterback sneak in the third period, and although Classical piled up a great deal of yardage they were unable to score again.

SOCCER TEAM 1050 Even though the Soccer Team ended the season with a poor record of one win, five ties, and six losses, they came close to having a good season. The de- fensive work displayed was some of the best in this area, but a good scoring punch was sorely needed. An indication of Classical’s defensive strength was apparent especially in the Ludlow game when highly favored Ludlow High was held scoreless for three periods before they were able to make a point. Despite their record Classical finished third in the city league and received an invitation to the Western Massachusetts Tournament. There they were unfortunate enough to draw a strong Hopkins Academy squad as opponents in the opening round and lose by a 2-0 score. 1602 Action against Monson Academy.

Although Classical’s record was not good enough for an invitation to the Western Massachusetts Tournament, a bid was received to the Assumption College Tournament in Worcester. Classical easily took its two opening games only to lose out in the finals to St. Peter’s High of Wore cester. Sid and Assumption Tournament Trophy ‘‘Satch’’ challenges the law of gravity.

ASSUMPTION TOURNAMENT GARDNER — The aroused Bulldogs got off to a good start in the Assumption Tournament, whipping Gardner High 59-39. In a fine display of team scoring strength 4 Bulldogs got 8 or more points: ‘‘Hoch’’ 16; Palmer 14; Anzalotti 9; Clark 8. Classical’s work off the backboards decided the course of the game. NorTHAMPTON — Classical advanced to the finals by defeating Coach Buckley’s hen-pecked Northampton charges 48-40. A late Northampton rally makes the game seem closer than it actually was. The Bulldogs led by nearly 30 points for most of the game. Ronnie Clark got 14 points, ‘“‘Hoch”’ 11, and Henry Ochrymowicz 11. St. PETER’s — This important game proved no exception to the fact that the team tightened up all season long in important games. Not until late in the first half did Classical loosen up enough to begin to overcome a large lead piled up by St. Peter’s. However, Ronnie Clark’s work on both boards it was too little and too late. and Doug Jenkins’ work on defense brought them the honor of placing on the All Tourney Team. Classical was the only school in the entire Tournament to place 2 men on the star five. One sparkling performance overlooked by many was that of Henry Ochrymowicz. Henry came into both the Northampton and St. Peter’s games in the second half and scored eleven points each time.
