BLUE WHITE Fi yearbook published bythe students of CLASSICAL J HIGH SCHOOL I9S| SPRINGFIELD MASSACHUSETTS Elinor Freedman, Eli Warsaw, David Marshall, moderator, Iris Latow, and Lawrence Zimmerman constitute the panel for the Education Week assembly. FOREWORD The destiny of our communities and our country will be determined by the education of our youth. Education, therefore, must be a living process organically related to the life of the individual in the society in which he must live. Classical High School has dedicated itself to more than scholarship; it has striven to produce a combination of the qualities that go toward making a well-rounded individual. During Education Week, a panel of four Classical students discussed the subject of education before the student body. They divided their topic into four sections, the Student, the Teacher, the Curriculum, the School and Community, and showed the relationship of each element to the development of a complete and efficient educational system. It is obvious that no educational system can survive without a faculty to teach and a student body to learn. The capabilities of the faculty are greatly responsible for the high standing of the students at Classical. But the students themselves must be willing to learn, and should be aided in this endeavor by a type of curriculum which will meet their needs and wishes. This curriculum must combine intellectual and cultural enrichment with practical and social training. Our honor lists symbolize the first; a majority of our clubs represent the latter. The school, as an instrument of society, must be an integral part of society. Classical does more than its share in attaining this objective, through the work of its drama and music groups, Junior Red Cross activities, and numerous other organizations. The Blue and White staff has adopted the four divisions of the panel discussion as the sub-topics of our general theme, education. We are attempting to show the relation of these phases of education to life and activity in Classical High School. In recognition of her many years of devoted service to Classical High School the 1951 Blue and White is gratefully and affectionately dedicated to GERTRUDE M. DAYTON As head of the girls’ physical education department, Mrs. Dayton has been an in- valuable member of the faculty. When Mrs. Dayton left in June to accept an assignment at the Central Office, Mr. Chatto paid her this tribute: ‘‘Mrs. Dayton has rendered to Classical High School over the years a service the value of which cannot be measured. She has not only been a splendid teacher of physical education, but she has exerted an influence for good taste, good grooming, and sound character that will long be felt in the school.”’ at cpr OO ie BEBE “Sat Seen ogee Ge Oy eagle) (C8) fee 1 IS ab 1G) eee TF rer at Owes ARRANGEMENT INTRODUCTION THE Ee AGHEK THE STOP EN iPS CORRIGCWIEON THE COMMUNITY L'ENVOI NE? PHIV BE TAs Keen wUROPETY. The Phi Beta Kappa trophy was awarded from 1915 to 1924 inclusive to the high school whose delegation to Harvard made the highest record in the entrance examinations. Classical High School won the trophy permanently by winning it four times during the ten years, more times than any other school. Our school was the only public school to win the trophy. “To become great, a school must express the people whom it serves and must express the people and the community at their best. The aim must be high and the vision broad; the goal seemingly attainable but beyond the immediate reach. If development is to be both sound and fine, it is essential that the growth be gradual, continuous, and manifold.”’ —lLouis D. Brandeis. CEARENGE gis GEiATsh® Principal Education is a door for a child to unlatch and growing youth to open. With the first tiny crack a gleam shines through; as the door swings wider the glory grows. Education is a tool for building, a sword for winning battles, a cup for thirsty spirits to drink. Your education is yours and no one else’s, and you must get it for yourself; no one can give you an education. Yet you have not been without help. Your city gave you the opportunity, schools and books and materials to work with; your teachers gave you instruction and counsel; your parents provided for you shelter and food and encouragement and the embellishments that have made life comfortable and secure. To all of these you have obliga- tions to pay back what you owe. But most of the effort and the toil must be yours. No one ever got an education worth much through the striving and the labor of someone else. Your education began with life itself and it will end only when life ends. You acquire knowledge—facts and rules and lists of things, but a greater and better part of education lies in the wisdom to use your knowledge to all good purposes, to stand for those ideals and to do those things which “if everybody did them”’ would heal the ills of society and make this hurt world whole. (LPP Ue CLetts ii MR. SWEENEY Philip A. Sweeney, the assistant principal of Classical High School, holds the respect and admir- ation of students and faculty alike, by his affable manner and business-like attitude. Always friendly, but firm, he carries out his duties in a just and sincere manner. Our friendly and under- standing counselors, Mrs. Bemis and Mr. Finn, ad- vise the students at Class- ical in any problems that might arise. Their duties are many—but they al- ways find time to aid a puzzled student—whether it. is ‘ins theseasecoiwagis. Test, a college admittance or scholarship problem, or a situation occurring dur- ing the school day. The students at Classical are very grateful for their gen- erous assistance. 12 Through the efforts of Miss Stone and Miss Footman, the student records of Classical are kept up-to-date. Mrs. Coleman, Classical’s ‘“‘ministering angel’, gives first-aid to Gloria Davis. Two very busy people, Miss Lucas and Miss Johnson, efficiently handle all office matters. The daily bulletin, passes, letters, telephone calls, the everyday business of Classical High School—all are their responsibility. Judith Novak, Gloria Davis, Mr. Warren Amerman, Jo Coesens, Claire Poulin, Iris Latow, and Andrew Gecrgarou- dakis enjoy office hospitality. lA The office aides collect attendance envelopes, run errands, and assist in other routine office work.

Young men and women daily attend schools and universities to satisfy their hunger for wisdom. To the teacher goes the job of satisfying this search and the job of molding these young people to be better citizens and workers of the world. The teacher not only spends “This is the way we come to school.” The responsibility of teaching sits well on the shoulders of Mr. Theodore Pease of the English faculty, shown here in his mechanical pride and joy. his working hours with the students, but devotes many hours to planning the curriculum and _ to supervising extra-curricula activities. The job of the teacher is many times a thankless one. The value of his work cannot be reckoned in dollars and cents. However, the power that was America, that is America, and that will be America is attained by the patience, understanding and wis- dom of the American teacher. , ENGLISH FACULTY Left to right: Theodore Pease, Christine Sauer, Edwin E.

All Wisdom’s armory this man could wield, IN MEMORIAM THOMAS PEDRAZZI Although Tom was taken away from us in November of our senior year, the class of 1951 will never forget him. Most vivid in our memory will be his brilliant, spontaneous smile. | When Tcm smiled, the world smiled too. His warm and likable personality left a permanent impression, and his quiet and friendly ways endeared him to us all. His sportsmanship and achieve- ment on the football field won the respect and admiration of his fellow players. We have missed Tom, our friend and classmate; we shall cherish his memory in the years to come. May he rest in peace. 62 Samuel Shaw, president of the Class of 1950 is assisted by Andrew Georgaroudakis, president of the Class of 1951 in planting the traditional ivy. CAENSS) fo} 1S With the knowledge that this was our last year, we, the class of ’51, began our senior year under the leadership of Andrew Georgaroudakis, presi- dent; Robert Golledge, vice-president; Betty Brus- nicki, secretary; Martha Manley, treasurer; Helen Anderson, member-at-large. Our advisers were Miss Parkman, Miss Marston, and Miss Dean. During the Christmas holidays, we saw our last festive productions here. The annual play was “The Courting of Marie Janvrin’’, and the annual concert held at the auditorium under the direction of Mr. Amerman was a splendid affair. During these months, the atmosphere of the class was busy, for the various class committees were hard at work. Everyone has worked hard so as to insure an illustrious finish to a magnificent beginning. Also scholarships to colleges and sem- 63 inaries have become attractive to many of our seniors. The annual play ‘‘Arsenic and Old Lace” and the concert ‘‘Mikado’’ has left us pleasant memories. Our Banquet, May 20, Class Day, June 8, Senior Class Promenade, June 8, and our graduation, June 13, will remain unforgotten to all who were present. Our days at Classical have finished. Here we have received the basis of our future endeavours and desires. We must not leave here without thanking our teachers, guidance counsellors, and administrators. May every one of the graduating class have the opportunity to fulfill his desires in the future years, so that he may be proud and thankful to Classical for all the knowledge gained there, and so that Classical may be proud of him for using all that was gained here. Miss Lewis, Miss Shaffer, and Dr. O’Grady are advisors for the Class of 1952. (Cleats es Jb Por thes Junior sClass7 105 tamnass been a. most successful year. Under the competent guidance of its advisers and officers, the Class of 1 952 broke precedent and co-sponsored a successful dance in the gym. Since boys were initiated this year, as well as girls, the juniors collaborated with the G.A.A. to bring “‘Freshie Day” and the ‘Harvest Hop” to Classical in October. January found Bob Damon and his Junior Prom committee hard at work. ‘‘The Coronation Ball’? at the Hotel Kimball, on April 13, with Nancy Johnston as queen, was the result of this committee’s fine job. George Easton was elected in March to represent Classical at Boys’ State in Amherst during June. In April Polly Richards resigned after two years of efficient work as Member-at-large. Jane Cham- bers was elected to succeed her. The Junior Class members have been leaders in scholarship, music,’ publications, athletics and drama. They have done much to keep alive the Classical spirit of Character, Honesty, and Scholarship.

THE GIASS Sota. The first year of the ‘‘Class of ’53’’ was a most successful one for our class. In the fall of the year, a ‘“Freshie Day and Dance’’ was given for the Freshmen. Toward winter, an active Student Council was formed, consisting of three committees: the Constitution, the Class Ring and Banner, and the Dance groups. Our Constitution committee members completed, after a great deal of work, the charter of our class, and then had it ratified. The Class Ring and Banner committee not only obtained attractive rings for over one fourth of the class, but also, with much help from all the Left to right: Jane Catron, Treasurer; John Rosen- berg, Vice President; Richard Myler, Presi- dent; Amelia Pessolano, Secretary; Laura Pea- body, Member-at-large. freshmen, chose a beautiful class banner. Al- though our Dance committee ran into many obstacles, the experience gained will benefit our Junior Class Prom committee. We can look for- ward to an outstanding dance next year. The class as a whole progressed very rapidly because its members took an active part in all school activities. Freshmen were featured in scholastic and athletic achievements, school shows, music, such as the orchestra and glee clubs, and the various other organizations which function, to make our school ‘‘tops’’.

As the ivy is planted by the grad- uating seniors, so the roots of edu- cation are planted by the instruc- tion at Classical High School. This instruction is directed toward a wide variety of subjects—English, typewriting, Latin, music, history, cooking. A broad and expanding education combines — scholarship and intellectual enrichment with practicality and social improve- ment. The many honors bestowed upon the students at Classical—awards for excellence in English, history, foreign languages, and other sub- jects, plus a large honor roll— attest to the high caliber of scholar- CIVITAN AWARD Richard Melville Mr. Churchill CURRICULUM ship.

In keeping with this philosophy, Classical provides a large amount of extra-curricular activity, which has no direct re- lation to the classroom, but which plays an integral part in the edu- Miss Sauer cational process. Students learn about the world and its problems from the International Relations Club, gain skill in debating and public speaking from the Senate and Pierides, and attain standards of good sportsmanship from their participation in athletics. Classical has thus succeeded in balancing the intellectual aspect of education with the practical, and has opened avenues of enlighten- ment and self-improvement to stud- ents willing and eager to benefit by them. The importance of the curriculum cannot be minimized, for it is instrumental in producing stable citizens for a stable society.

BIERIDES Pierides, the girls’ discussion group, is one of the oldest and most popular clubs at Classical. All girls who have attained a B or better average in English are invited to join. Here, on every other Monday, you may find a group of girls doing everything from reading poetry to listening to a lecture on safety by Officer J. Albert Murphy. Pierides encourages its members to keep up with world affairs, good musical programs, art and drama. The meetings present a wide enough variety to suit any taste. Several spirited debates take place during the course of the year. Although the girls don’t get physically violent, words fly back and forth as the girls present their views. After a little such practice the ‘‘Pierides’’ are guar- anteed to win any kind of an argument anywhere. That’s a challenge boys! The club was a primary factor in organizing and participating in the trip to the U.N. at Lake Success in October. Every year Pierides members eagerly anticipate the Phillip’s Speaking Contest. Many try out for the contest but only a few are chosen. These few give talks on a subject agreed upon by the club. PIERIDES SPEAKING CONTEST Sitting: Barbara Stratton, Standing: Judith Alberti. Judith Knapp. To the winner goes five dollars and the prestige of victory. Much credit goes to Miss Sarah Porter for the time and effort she gives as the club’s adviser. Although the discussion which takes place at Pierides meetings may not solve any national or world problems, it does give it’s members a won- derful opportunity to formulate and present their views on a wide variety of subjects. Membership in this club gives a girl a head start towards being a helpful self expressing member of her com- munity.

Sle INyavile: The boys of Classical High School gain valuable experience in public speaking through the activity of the Senate. The bi-monthly meetings of this club are devoted to formal debates and informal discussions, mainly on current affairs. Topics are chosen and debated upon by the members them- selves. [he meetings are always interesting, and often very heated, as the members usually disagree violently with the opposing views of a fellow Senator. Parliamentary Law is the procedure of the meetings, placing great power in the hands of the president. Elections are held each half-year; sharing the presidential honors this year were Richard Willette and Lawrence Zimmerman. Mr. Edwin Smith, the Senate’s able adviser, is greatly responsible for the club’s success. The keynote of Senate activity is the annual Senate Tablet Debate, in which the four best debaters of the Senate are matched in a debate before the student body. The winner's name is then engraved on a marble tablet, to be preserved for posterity. The American International College Model Congress is another big event, and partici- pants sent by the Senate usually make a very fine showing against keen competition.

Its members, under the guidance of Mr. Lynch, visit many important industrial plants in and around Springfield. At such places as Fisk, Van Norman, Monsanto, Baker’s Extract Co., and Package Machinery, the Science Club members see Science put to every day use. Through such visits and talks by men skilled in scientific fields, these Classical students broaden their knowledge of life in the Atomic Age. 83 Mathematics is essentially the study of refined reason and pure logic. Not only does the Classical Math Department teach valuable natural princi- ples, but also trains the student’s mind for a liberal, objective education. Science is the creed of our new social order. The student could not possibly assume a place in the community without a thorough knowledge of modern science. Our faculty specialists teach the necessary sciences at Classical. MR.

Sid, in a blue moment said, ‘‘This outfit certainly gets more runs than any other team I’ve ever coached, but they surely have more runs scored against them than any former club.”’ Three things in particular contributed to the apparently dismal record. First, inconsistent pitching, and Where Did That One Go, Roy? mediocre fielding more than offset the heavy slugging of Fred Keith, Dick Healy, and others, second, Classical lacked the final push to drive across the winning runs in the late innings of close games; and last, but not least, poor school spirit and poorer fan attendance greatly disappointed the players once more. Classical’s interschool record was four wins and four losses, and the final over-all result was four wins and six losses.

Only a lucky break on a penalty shot in Western Mass. competition prevented the team from attaining ereater glory but the curtain rang down on a highly successful year anyway. Outstanding members of the team were all-city selections Bill Foggle, co-captain Jim Rosenberg, and Ralph Kerley. Co-captain Ron Loescher and Herb Wolfe also played terrific ball.

The high point getters were Charlie Onyon, Dick O’Niel, and George Easton, who splashed home continual first places in the backstroke, diving, and breaststroke respectively.

Bob Shields, an excellent swimmer who was lost to the team because of illness, came back to join George Easton and Charlie Onyon in beating out all Massachusetts Medley relay teams as they posted a fifth in the New England Champ- ionships. The only other Classical swimmer to gain the finals in that meet was diver Dick O’Neil, who also placed fifth. With a fine coach, a number of returning stand- outs, and a host of sparkling new arrivals, swim- ming should move more into the spotlight next year and gain much acclaim.

The visitors played well, building up a 12-0 lead. However, the Bulldogs were unable to hold this margin and eventually lost out in the second half 19-12. Lee Quimby and Don Hallett scored the first Classical touch- downs of the infant season in the vain cause. LupLow—In a closely contested, defensively dominated, rough and tumble fray, Ludlow and Classical battled to a 6-6 deadlock. Late in the first period, Quimby skirted around his own left end for the Classical 6-pointer. On the very next play, a Ludlow end broke free, hauled in a long pass, and raced forty to pay-dirt. Neither team could convert the all-important extra point and the game was drawn. 102 PALMER—In the waning minutes of the game, just when the Classical victory seemed assured, a freak play and a loose ball led to a touchdown for Palmer. Then Palmer rushed for the extra point and the game was tied. Final score 7-7. HoLyokE CATHOLIC—Scoring at will, Classical monopolized this game except for a few plays on the part of the Gaels. The final score was 33-6, and it might have been more. But it was field day, so the subs were cleared off the bench. 103 WarRE—Classical put on its scoring togs and routed Ware, a smaller and more inexperienced team. The score was 41-0 as Jones, Domaigue, Hallet, and Quimby led the attack. AMHERST—Classical backs had a field day as they plunged through the Amherst line almost at will while the forward line opened up gaping holes on offense and held the visitors at bay on defense. Lee Quimby with four touchdowns and Don Hallett with two TD’s led the home team to an easy 77-0 victory. SouTH HapLEY—Once again, as in the Palmer game, Classical suffered last minute jitters. With 50 seconds to play South Hadley completed their only two passes of the day scoring their lone touchdown which tied the Bulldogs 7-7. TEcH—Playing its arch-rival Tech, Classical again was forced to swallow a bitter pill. This game was rough and tough. Vicious blocking by both sides was the feature of both teams.

However, Classical came back strong in a remarkable second half rally and actually took a 39-36 lead with but a minute and a half to play. Then two bad breaks brought two quick South baskets just before the buzzer sounded and the Bulldcgs were vanquished by one mere point.

POC E The 1950-51 Classical hockey team completed a fair season with four wins, three losses, and two ties. Led by the Ryan brothers, Jim Granfield, Jim Rosenberg, Henry Benjamin, and Gene Hlastova, the Batt coached pucksters whipped Trade twice, Westfield, and Helyoke, while losing to West Springfield, Tech and Hampden, and draw- ing with Tech and West Haven as they finished tied for second in the City League. Perhaps the highlight of the season was the Bulldog match against the Connecticut champion, West Haven High. In this game Gene Hlastova rifled home three goals to complete a ‘“‘hat trick’? while Jim Granfield chipped in with four assists. The game ended in a 5—5 deadleck when West Haven tallied three times in the final period as Classical was at a tremendous manpower disadvantage having but three players on the ice because of penalties.

UL IBY 1 elOleigen ye The Classigals had another successful season of Field Hockey. Practice, coached by Miss Craib, was held on Mondays and Wednesdays at Forest Park. Two interschool games were played. In the first game the Classigals held a Tech-Commerce combine to a tie score of 1-1. In the second game Classical beat the Tech-Commerce second team 2-0. Later on in the fall, field hockey was replaced by co-educational speedball. Speedball is a com- bination of soccer, basketball, and football. Miss Craib hopes to make speedball one of the regular fall sports. KREEPFAR LER. THAT BALE! WHOLE CE TLS BIRST: WATCH THAT GOAL! Tet I GOT IT! JUST CLEARED THE NET! Helene Gray, Judy Finch.

BAS KEBAB Without a doubt, basketball is the favorite in- door winter sport at Classical among the girls as well as the boys. The freshmen practiced their foul shots, hooks, and sets on Mondays while the upperclassmen dribbled around the floor on Wed- nesdays. Miss Craib coached the teams through a very fine season. Their overall record was six wins, two losses, and one tie in interschool compe- tition. Against Trade the upperclass team was beaten by a score of 18-20. The game was very clese all the way. The Classical freshmen retaliated by defeating the Trade freshmen 25-18. The Class- ical seniors battled the Commerce seniors to a 24-24 deadlock. The first junior team beat Com- 114 merce 28-21 while the second junior team lost 11-19. The Classical freshmen handed the Com- merce ‘‘Freshies’’ a sound 44-11 beating. The Classical seniors eked out a one point victory over Tech 19718. But the juniors had an easy time with the Tech juniors 37-10. Carrie Adams, Mona Williams, Barbara Bedell, and Janet Kallgren were high scorers for the season. Something new was tried in basketball this year. Two experimental teams were formed which tried out some newly proposed changes in girls’ rules. The girls enjoyed playing the games using different rules. That Looks Like a Sure Shot!

BADMINTON Badminton is a sport which can be played in- doors or out. The game, which is gaining popu- larity rapidly, combines a number of skills and fundamentals. Miss Craib directed the practice on Mondays and Wednesdays through March and April. After the girls learned how to play, most of them entered either the doubles or the singles tournament. In the singles tournament Jane Woodworth was beaten out in a close finish by Janet Kallgren. Janet and her partner, Lucille Archibald, defeated Helen Hagopian and Jean McDonald in the doubles tournament. An interest- ing note about this match is the fact that last year, Lucille and her partner defeated Janet and her partner, who were champs the year before, in the doubles tournament. 116 THEY WON’T RETURN THAT ONE Helen Hagopian, Jean McDonald THE CHAMP HITS ONE Janet Kallgren ab ie ey Re is dl A GOOD BACKH.

This fact was shown by the extra large turnout of girls this season. The girls bowled at Bickford’s, the Apremont Alleys, and the Paradise Alleys. Several teams from each class entered interclass competition. The ‘51’ Jets annexed the title of champion with a pinfall of 734. A junior team trailed closely with a total pinfall of 717. The champion team among the freshmen had a 634 pinfall. The Classigals came in third behind Commerce and Tech in interschool competition. Frances Pehleman was high scorer for Classical.

SOFTBALL The Classigals’ 1950 Softball season was not as successful as it might have been if it werent for the unusual spring weather which hampered practice. Practice was held every Monday and Wednesday at Forest Park. Teams were organ- ized and coached by Mrs. Dayton. The girls’ lack of practice showed up in their only two interschocl games which were played on Softball Playday held at Trade School. Three Classical pitchers couldn’t hold back the Commerce upperclassmen who beat the Classical upperclass team 11-4. The Classical Freshmen lost also to the Commerce freshmen by a score of 3-21.

In the winter the eques- triennes are instructed about parts of the horses, breeds and sizes of horses and ponies, and neces- sary equipment. All instruction is given by Mr. Martin of Brooklea Farms in Wilbraham.

Classical has always done well in inter- school competition. The Classical senior team beat the Tech players 45-40. The juniors beat the Tech juniors 44-22. Unfortunately, the freshmen game with the Techites was cancelled. The practice which resulted in this fine record was held every Tuesday and Friday under the direction of Miss Hatch. A round robin volleyball tournament was held in the gym classes, with the classes divided up into several teams. The winning teams from each class played each other. 124 INTERCLASS VOLLEYBALL CHAMPIONS Row one, left to right: Betsy Jones, Mary Ann Dolan, Barbara Bedell, Betty Brusnicki, Bette Bennett.

Under the leadership of its fine officers and council and our new gym teachers, the G.A.A. experienced many very successful events. Almost all of the girls at Classical are members of this organization. To start off the year the G.A.A., along with the class of ‘52’’, sponsored Freshie Day on October 19. For the first time, the freshmen boys at Classical took part by also dressing in a special outfit. Along with the purpose of having fun, the upperclassmen took advantage of this day to acquaint the freshmen with the various school organizations and to make them feel welcome. On the evening of October 109, a successful school- wide dance, the ‘“‘Harvest Hop’, was held in the gyms. The Springfield College Sportsmen furn- ished the music for the dance. This dance was also co-sponsored by the G.A.A. and the class Gian 2 Green predominated at the next big event of the year, the ‘‘Shamrock Shuffle’, held in the gyms on March 16. There was music for both round and square dancing played by Freddy Falvo and his Dreamers. The dance was co-chairmened by Barbara Bedell and George Easton. Entertain- 128 ment at intermission was given by talented mem- bers of our own school. During the intermission Peter Bulkley and Karen Kilburn were chosen king and queen by our four distinguished judges, Mr. Turner Cooke, WSPR announcer; Miss Ruth Evans, superintendent of the Springfield Girls’ Physical Education Department; Miss Louise Mace and Mr. Harley Rudkin, drama critics on the Springfield newspapers. On April 21, playday was held at Technical High School from 9:30 A.M. to 2:30 P.M. Class- ical sent representative basketball teams, volley- ball teams, and officials. Games were played in competition with the other three high schools. At an assembly at the end of the year, the girls were rewarded by the G.A.A. for their athletic accomplishments. Those girls who have come out for sports twenty times received their small C’s, while those coming out thirty times received their large C’s. The juniors who have come out thirty times each year for two years received their class numerals. The honor pin winners were awarded their pins. Special recognition was given to team captains and tournament winners. At all the events, whether social or athletic, a fine school spirit was shown by the Classicalites.

Scarcely a day goes by when some worthy organizaticn does not pluck at man’s heartstrings in efforts to bring forth vibrant help to a cause. Our “‘International Relations Club’’ appeals to successful men and women to give us a picture of mature life, thus helping us to find our niche in the world when our day arrives and to become better citizens in our community. The school publications, the Blue and White and the Recorder, seek advertisements and in return give the community a vivid picture of school life. The ‘‘Reg istry of Motor Vehicles’’ sponsors a Student Driving Course. This enables the students to learn to drive safely and to practice the courtesy of the road. A Highway Safety class is available to all students to prepare them for better driving. The Parent Teacher Student Association appeals to the parents to visit school to hear about and even witness the work of the students. It enables the parents to talk personally with the teachers concerning the progress of their children. Music and drama entertain frequently. To accept or not to accept the many appeals of today is a challenge worthy of consideration. Classical through its many clubs and _ activities hopes that it is a vital part of the community, and that it is preparing its students to be outstanding citizens of tomorrow. Mele AOUINSSIO NL IMeCONDIE Each succeeding staff of the Recorder strives to maintain the high standards, the ideals, and the general excellence—in journalistic style and in literary content—of this paper which has served the students and faculties of this school ard the people of the community at large since 1887. While the Recorder encourages young ideas, it does not surrender its classical traditions to radical innovations. The Recorder is, as ever, a school paper—of interest to the faculty as well as to the student bedy. But it goes beyond the realm of the school in endeavoring to serve the community by calling to the attention of the parents of the students and 130 RECORDER STAFF Sitting, left to right: Joan Gorman, Georgiana Ward, Joan Brand, Adrienne Kennedy, Patricia Sanders, Alvan Schwartz.

In a narrower scope, those few students who have the privilege of serving on the staff gain knowledge and experience which may be useful to them in their future occupations. In a literary vein, staff members learn to gather facts accurately and to write them up in clear and concise style. In the business department the business managers learn to solicit ads, compile accurate records, and see that bills are promptly paid and collected. By way of the one hundred one problems which arise in the editing of each issue, the young journalists learn to use their own judgment in solving them. Through the personal contacts with local leaders, officials, and businessmen in covering the news, gaining interviews, and carrying on minor busi- ness transactions the staff members receive practi- cal training which cannot be obtained in the class- rooms but which will stand them in good stead for many years to come. Thus, we see that the Recorder maintains its heritage and sets a standard for future generations, provides a medium of information and entertain- ment for its readers, and provides practical train- ing to the staff. But, who knows, perhaps, the hopes and ideals of the past as embodied in each column, indeed, in each syllable of the Recorder may reach out into the minds and hearts of the present generation to endow them with the spirit of Cris.

Wels (ikiCle2iNIb) Alinliiet The Classical Blue and White, four-time winner in Western Massachusetts High School yearbook competition, even as it represents Classical in print, represents the school in real life with a cross section of the student body on its staff. Out- standing scholars, several athletes, two class presi- dents, the presidents of Student Government, International Relations Club, the Senate, and officers of other organizations, plus musicians, debators, and what have you reside in the sanctum sanctorum, Room 122. If you should suddenly walk in upon these Blue and White workers, you would find yourself in a beehive of activity. The “‘hive’’ is capably ruled by Eli Warsaw and Larry Zimmerman, co- editors-in-chief of the yearbook. While frantically searching for lost layouts, and misplaced pictures, they are beseiged from all sides with questions and demands. In the course of the year, they develop many headaches as they desperately seek to reach deadlines. Mary Anne Stearns, Marie Callahan, Frank Cervany, and Ernest Ghareeb had their headaches in the fall. Mary and Marie had charge of the senior picture appointments, and Frank and Ernest ran the subscription campaign. Just as women have broken men’s traditions before, the advertising department, after fifty- five long years, finally admitted three girls, Jo Coesens, Anne Grodzins, and Iris Latow, to the staff. Bob Golledge, Bob Damon, John Dolan, Andrew Georgaroudakis, Dave Marshall, and Eli Warsaw, under the supervision of Miss Irene Horrigan, made use of their magnetic [?] person- alities to influence Springfield businessmen just under five hundred dollars worth of advertising. Pictures are an important item in the yearbook. Larry Zimmerman, Gloria Davis, and Iris Latow make all picture arrangements for clubs and sports. Allan Damon spends his spare time as a guillotine operator, cutting pictures to the required size for reproduction. Claire Poulin has been glued to her job of mounting all the pictures. Barbara O’Connor and Anne Grodzins put their time to good use typing all the write-ups, head- ings, and lists before they go to the printer. Next to the senior section, the bulk of the year- book is the sports sections. David Marshall and Helen Hagopian ably handled their respective de- partments. Despite the important business which is always at hand, the staff members find much time for enjoying themselves. Jokes, repartee, and horse- play find their way into the busy hours of the Blue and White workers, lightening the work and speeding the time away. Through all the work, joking, and seriousness, the guiding hand of Miss Teresa Boylan, the Blue and White adviser, is felt. Her patience and year- book ‘‘know-how”’ have helped the staff over many rough spots. Together, the staff and Miss Boylan have suc- ceeded in putting Classical into book form, whose pages, in years to come, will be to her alumni a happy reminder of even happier days in Classical High School. 134 The Freshmen in Mr. Fenner’s room evidently enjoy our yearbook.

In the gold rush days they sang of ‘“‘Clementine’”’ as they pushed ahead to California. Today we’re singing the ‘‘Tennessee Waltz’. Yes, the songs change, but people will never stop singing. At Classical High we are proud to have one of the best choirs in the city, to entertain us by singing the songs of our time the way we love to hear them. Officers are President Kennedy Pulley, Vice- President Beverly Rohr, Sec.-Treas. Charles Onyon, while Mr. Amerman directed.

BAND A distinctive and vital part of every football gathering was the Classical High School Band. Rain or shine, victorious or defeated, we found this group behind the team, providing stirring music and arousing school spirit. They displayed a fine sense of timing to match their sense of rhythm, the band showed its fancy marching routines and formations on the football field, pleasing both their fellow classmates and visiting onlookers. Not only in the stadium could we hear the fine music of our band, but also in many public activ- ities. As conductor of these versatile musicians stood Mr. Woujick, a smiling, capable leader, admired and respected by the students who shaped this year’s group into one of the best ever to represent Classi- cal High School.

Composed of 40 enthusiastic members, the orchestra practiced daily, perfecting many different works. They gave a concert at a High School assembly, a performance at Springfield Municipal Auditorium and collaborated with the Classical High School choir in many assemblies. Many Classical students were pleasantly lulled by one or more of the themes rehearsed by this group of boys and girls who practiced during the period. Some of the notable works studied were Mikado, Christmas Fantasie, South Pacific Themes, Dream Pantomine from Hansel and Gretel, and Hallelujah Chorus. Most of the orchestra members have been studying music, both instrument lessons and such courses as harmony and music appreciation. Some expect to continue with music as a life-long career. For them we predict a bright and golden future. 140 SHIRLEY CANDINI, Accordionist Donald Thayer, Xylophone, Carl Hoon, Piano Mr. Amerman, Director Don Thayer, Xylophone 141 Elinor Freedman, Aunt March; Sally Reisner, Meg; William Kennerson, John Brooke; Jack Suprenant, Father March; Martha Okun, Amy; James preteen, Laurie; Richard Melville, Professor Bhaer; Jayne rockett, Jo. DRAMA CLUB In the trek out west in 1830, the pioneer didn’t have time for amusements. We modern fifty-oners, on the other hand, have had much to amuse us in our trek through high school to seek our diplomas. One of the clubs working hardest to furnish us enjoyment is the Drama Club. This year the Drama Club is being headed by Miss Sauer. In this, the seventh year of the Drama Class’ existence, two plays of exceptional merit were produced. For Christmas ‘‘The Courting of Marie Jenvrin,”’ a fine play of life among the lumbermen and the French in an isolated trading post in Canada was given. The play required excellent character interpretation and unusual staging. Much hard work was necessary to secure the finished performances which met with joyous audience approval, especially the ‘‘spanking”’ scene. Barbara Baker, Gerald Miéillette, and Richard Cordner were outstanding in the lead parts. Ably supporting them were Vernon Agen, Judith Knapp, Douglas Bowers, and James Kraft. For the annual play, the Broadway success, “Arsenic and Old Lace’? was undertaken. On April sixth and seventh at Trade High School an enthusiastic and large audience saw fourteen boys and four girls enact the hilarious melodrama in professional style against a colorful stage setting with effective lighting and sound effects. Six stud- ents were singled out by the Springfield Union critic and by the drama director for their excellent acting: Elinor Friedman as Martha Brewster, Arthur Seaver as Mortimer Brewster, Richard Cordner as Johnathan Brewster, Gerald Millette as Doctor Einstein, John Blair as Teddy Brewster. The drama class is now rehearsing three other one-act plays, a comedy of family life, a suspense tale, and a story of contrasting characters. GAST OF CLIT TEE WOMEN: Bl Ce MEG BETH AMY .

The idea of such a club was con- ceived by Miss Harriet Marr some nineteen years ago. The club has increased in popularity with the years. This year’s enrollment was over two hundred. Much of the credit for the success of I.R.C. in recent years goes to its very active and interested adviser Mr. Milton Corbin. 148 Program Chairman ANDREW GEORGAROUDAKIS Secretary ANN KINGSLEY Mary Katsunakis Margie Katz Nancy Kelly Adrienne Kennedy Hannah Klein Sema Koral Rose Koslik Bernard Kosto Vivian Lapides Ann Lattinville Betty Lou Ledger Rose Levin Jerome Levine Norma Levinson Margorie Livingston David Marshall John Mason Norma Mattoon Joan McIntosh Larry Metz Frances Moody Janet Nelson Edwin Nystrom Laura Peabody Bredine Pennington Carole Perlman Robert Picknally Claire Poulin Samuel Press Leatrice Prudins Robert Radner June Ratnowsky Maxine Reisner Hannah Riensfeld Stella Rinkewich Karla Rogers Simma Rubin Ed Satell Alvan Schwartz Virginia Severance Myrna Selwitz Joyce E. Smith Frances Solon Ed Stein Judy Steinberg Joan Stetson Martha Jane Stickle Audrey Tanner Jerry Thibault John Thomas Gloria Wilkins Janet Zeller Phyllis Zeller Larry Zimmerman Through the medium of world travelers and foreign students supplemented by a trip to the United Nations at Lake Success, N. Y., members of the club have built up a splendid store of know- ledge about other countries. The United Nations trip resulted in the raising of funds by selling world pins to purchase a U.N. flag for the school which was presented at a special assembly. Our speakers this year have included such persons as Dr. James Gordon Gilkey, Mr. Hubert Kregoloh, Dr. Paul Limbert, Miss Nancy Cooke, Mrs. Jean Landen, Alphonse Malik, Helmut Wasykis, Professor Harold Harlow, Mrs. Roger L. Putnam, and many others. This year I.R.C. has been affiliated with the Foreign Policy Association of Springfield and is the first youth organization to take out a member- ship in the Adult Education Forum. For the fifth consecutive year the club has sent a Care package to Europe. Last summer I.R.C. sent three delegates to the International Relations Institute at Harvard, Massachusetts. ‘World Citizens of Tomorrow’’—our club motto —will continue to challenge our energies for many years to come. 149 RED CROSS ALBUM COMMITTEE Row 1: Eleanor Busansky, Sid Kittredge, Jim Rosenberg, Judy Rush, Phyllis Sitner, Gloria Wilkins.

Ninety percent of the students contribute money which is used in sending something to another country in order to promote better inter- national good will and understanding. Last year when Judy Rush attended the Welles- ley Red Cross Training Center, a Japanese girl exhibited an album made by her own schoolmates. In former years the Classical organization has sent gift boxes abroad, but this year the main project was the making of a similar album de- picting scenes from the life of an average high school student. This album was sent to Japan. The year’s fund raising campaign, which was very successful, started in October with a bang-up talent show assembly organized by Judy Bloch and Phyllis Sitner. Besides witnessing some very fine talent the students were treated to two inter- esting talks by Mr. Parker, president of the 135—Rep. Judith Shapiro Alt. Regina Sabolowski 130—Rep. Margo Wagner Alt.

Classical’s officers for 1950-51 were: Judy Rush, president; Richard Goldstein, vice president; Betty Bachiochi, treasurer; and Robert Radner, secre- tary. Judy Kletsky was interschool council repre- sentative. She and four other girls attended the meeting at the Westfield Red Cross Headquarters where they heard talks about Red Cross work in other countries. Other activities included the entertainment of the wounded Korean war veterans at Westover Field. Nineteen girls signed up for volunteer hosp- ital service as Junior Gray Ladies. In this capacity they read or wrote letters for the wounded G.]I.’s. The Junior Red Cross at Classical owes much to its adviser, Miss Harriet Hewitt. It is an organization which we hope will help, in a small way, to further a strong world peace.

THE HI-Y Enjoying a most successful year, the Hi-Y has become one of the most popular and largest organi- zations at Classical High School. All programs are so well planned that each meeting seems to attract more members to the Hi-Y. Under the guidance of Mr. Amerman, who has assisted the boys in any possible way, the club has become a powerful organization at the school. The highlight of this year included the Annual Dance at the Sheraton which was most successful and the annual convention of the Hi-Y of Western Massachusetts at the Y.M.C.A. E52 We were all pleased when our president, William Karis was elected president of the Springfield Hi-Y Interschool Council. The progress of this club must be attributed to the purposes of this club. They are the fraterni- zation of the members and the perpetuation of their Christian Heritage. The officers of the year 1950-1951 are President William Karis, Vice President James Jackson, Secretary Charles Davis, Treasurer Richard Estey, Chaplain Wesley Chadbourne.

STWDEN TSG’ ERINN LENE The Student Government is one of the most important and influential organizations in the school. Its basic duty is to voice the students’ desires and, wherever possible, to carry out these wishes. The club has assisted the faculty and Mr. Chatto very much in forming the school’s policies. The school-wide elections, the Student Treasury drive, the new mirrors in the boys’ gym, the correspondence with the French school in France, the school show, the Classical Carousel, and the dictionaries, flags, and pencil sharpeners in the rooms are just a few of the products of Student Government’s work in the past year. The group met sixth period every day in the library to discuss and carry out any business im- portant to this school’s welfare. Mr. Lynch was the adviser for the year. The officers for the first half year were President Marilyn Erickson, Vice President Robert Damon, Secretary Barbara Maier. For the second half, President Robert Damon, Vice President Cynthia Barre, Secretary Barbara Maier. Get your ballot here! This is the way we vote. Who'd you vote for?

It works on a cooperative system, budgeting funds equally among the organ- izations, and receiving any profit which these groups might make. More than eighty percent of the student body annually take advantage of the S.T. tickets. For an outlay of four dollars, a 158 Classical student may save up to twelve or fifteen dollars in free or reduced admissions to schcol activities. Much credit for the success of the S.T. must go to the S.T. agents who collect the money in the homerooms, and to Mr. Brown, Mr. L. W. Smith, and Mr. Lynch who keep the books in order and protect each student’s investment.

PENNY © | Patience is a virtue which all our teachers possess They're always there to lead us on the pathway to success. No matter what the problem is there's never any doubt When our teachers skillfully explain to us what it’s all about. We, the student body, are quite essential too; For without us the teachers would not have much to do. We try hard in our classes and study every night But sometimes though, we must admit, our answers aren't quite right. However school’s not all study and serious work, There's lots of fun for everyone if our duties we don't shirk. We participate in every kind of sport and club and play In these ways we find pleasure on each and every day. Through this yearbook we have tried our best to show A glimpse of life at Classical where both minds and bodies grow In an atmospher e of cheerfulness, brotherhood and peace Where friendliness, goodwill and love we know will never cease. 17I ‘ yo “Ye qe heaae I ioe a a, Oe | ed ‘oe — .
