It was called then “‘a palace of learning.” The building had three rooms, cherry top desks, and beauti- ful hardwood floors. The faculty consisted of four teachers. Books were scarce and equipment meager. Today, one hundred years later, Classical is even more “a palace of learning.” Traditionally, we started as the first high school in the city of Springfield and for many years, Classical was known as Springfield High School, and until 1906, was the only high school. Today Classical represents an educational institution devoted to the development of Character, Honor and Scholar- ship. In this yearbook of 1952, the centennial year in Springfield, we have tried to show how our predecessors have laid the foundation for many of the school activ- ities we enjoy today. Because their ideals of character, honor, scholarship have been so unswerving, we are encouraged to go forward into the next century with firmer convictions and sincere faith in the traditions which have made Classical High School the worthy “palace of learning” of 1952. MISS ROSE BUCKLEY Classical High School has been fortunate to have had as teacher of art for many years Miss Rose Buckley, a serene and gracious lady of gentle and courteous manner. Under her tutelage hundreds of students have developed their creative abilities in varied fields of artistic endeavor and have gained a wider appreciation of beauty in the world about them. At all times Miss Buckley has stood ready to help when the Blue and White needed illustrations; the Recorder sketches; the Drama Class a backdrop; .R.C. a poster or Junior Red Cross a book for Japan, and under her expert direction year after year students have carried out cheerfully and competently the constant requests of our school’s many activities. We are proud to dedicate the 1952 yearbook to Miss Buckley, a memorab le teacher who has given a lifetime of service to Classical and whose splendid character and excellent teaching have set so fine an example to all those privileged to study under her. “A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.” CLASSICAL HIGH Springfield, SCHOOL Mass. ARRANGEMENT INTRODUCTION ADMINISTRATION CLASSES ACV RIES bOY Se EORLS GIRS so bORA ADVERTISEMENTS DIRECTORY THE LIGHT OF EDUCATION The newcomer to Classical notices before too long the picture behind the stage in our assembly hall. At this point in his education he as a rule knows little about art and his normal reaction is —“That’s a pretty picture.” Then for the duration of his stay at Classical he promptly proceeds to forget that it even exists. This mural, however, should not be thus ignored, for it carries a message for every Classical High School student. Unless the student knows something about the history of the picture he cannot fully appreciate it. Although this building, Classical High School, was completed in 1898, for several years there was no decoration at the point directly above the stage, where one’s eye naturally rests. In 1910 friends of the school and alumni took up a collection and engaged a painter, Robert Reid. to fill in that space with an appropriate mural. Robert Reid was born in Stockbridge in 1862. He studied at the Art Students League in New York and the Academie Julien in Paris. He was one of the artists selected to decorate the Library of Congress in Washington and the Liberal Arts Building of the Chicago Exposition in 1893. Two of his murals are in the State House at Boston—Paul Revere’s Ride and The Boston Tea Party. He also designed the stained glass windows for the Rogers Memorial Church at Fairhaven. Although he lost the use of his right hand, he trained himself to use his left and continued his work until the time of his death in 1930 The theme and name of the mural is “The Light of Education.” Because this picture depicts the illuminating influence cast by education, it is fitting that it should be placed in our school. Mr. Reid expresses this idea by using the book and globe in the foreground as symbols of education. These are held by the central figures and are shedding a glow of light over the uneducated Indians at the left and the Pilgrims at the right of the picture. The setting is placed in Springfield by the pine trees in the background, the laurel in the front, and more definitely by the figure of Wil- liam Pynchon, one of the founders of Springfield. The effect of a glow of light which suffuses the picture represents the light which is cast by education. After the student discovers the theme of this mural, his understanding of this theme is deep- ened by its similarity to the light given to him by the knowledge he is receiving at Classical. This mural symbolizes the spirit of our school — to give education to all. When the day comes that the freshman has become a senior, he can stand before this now-familiar painting and say a mental thank-you to Mr. Reid for expressing so ably the essence of the knowledge he has acquired during his career at Classical High School.

He worked vigorously to develop Clas- sical in its early days and his motto was “There is no difficulty to him that wills”. 12 MR. CHATTO 1952 No one can talk to Mr. Chatto without feeling completely at ease. The door to his office is never closed, and he is never too busy to listen to anyone who needs help. Patient, understand- ing, sincere—Mr. Chatto has en- deared himself to us because of his implicit faith in youth. In Eighteen Hundred Fifty-Two Springfield was a sprawling country town, Proud that it was new-grown to be a city, With heavy wagons and blown dust in the streets And a white church spire above green elms in the Square. At one side of the Square stood the High School, A plain, two-story wooden building. ‘“Maenificent,” they called it. For the time, it was. And in the spring they had an “exhibition,” Spoke pieces, gave orations, read a poem, Said complimentary things for education; And then the boys and girls who finished school Quietly took their places in the community. A few of them, perhaps, went on to college; The rest just settled down and went to work. In Nineteen Hundred Fifty-Two The town has changed—in some things, not in all. Its towers are taller and its voice is louder, But ancient elms in the square still wave green banners in the spring, And above their tossing branches the white spire of old First Church Still holds aloft its golden weather vane As bravely as it did a hundred years ago. And youth is youth again when school is out Starting high-hearted upon its glorious voyage— The journey of mankind across the years. God speed! SPovmarte, 0 ahroers 13 MR. PHILIP A. SWEENEY Our Assistant Principal To many of us perpetual vitality is a difficult achievement, but to Mr. Sweeney it is not only necessary, but natural. He is a man of unending energy. We have all seen him scurrying around the building at one time or another. Accompanying him in all his duties are his ever ready smile and wonderful Irish wit. It is a marvel that so busy a man has time to always smile and enjoy life. We have all gained a very deep respect for Mr. Sweeney. In all that he does he tries to make us beiter students and the school better scholastically. This, at times, demands that his Irish wit change to Dublin fire, but not for long. He has always proven himself fair and honest in his discipline. Mr. Sweeney can also be respected as a man of excellent grooming. It is always a pleasant sur- 14 prise to walk into his office in the morning and see one of his handsome ties. Intelligence is another virtue with which our assistant principal is also blessed. His mind is al- ways keen to new and old problems and ever ready with prompt and accurate answers. Mr. Sweeney’s entire attitude is one of business and pleasure mixed. He is always aware of his position and duty in the school and responds to it spontaneously, while never losing sight of life with its many bright sides. We shall all remember Mr. Sweeney and as the years go by respect and admire him all the more. He is a man of the high- est standards—a man to be emulated. Mr. Finn and Mrs. Bemis are well known to the eight hundred and fifty Classical students, and vice versa. These two are our guidance counselors. Daily they help students in their choice of colleges and in the choice of high school courses. They find part time work for students during the school year, and, by means of aptitude tests, help those who seek full time employ- ment after graduation. Mr. Finn and Mrs. Bemis also aid in settling the fric- tional encounters among students, and in settling any number of other difficul- ties which confront growing young men and women. Mr. William Finn and Mrs. Dorothy Bemis Mrs. Coleman and Dr. Bennett are confronted daily with students com- plaining of headaches, bruises, and a host of pains and illnesses. Most of these complaints are legitimate. Our Mrs. Coleman has a sharp eye for those few who, on the spur of the moment, think of a pain or two which would necessitate their immediate departure from school. Mrs. Anna Mary Coleman, Dr. Nathaniel Bennett 15 SECRETARIES OF ROOM 105 The traffic into 105 is not as heavy as that into 107, but the work car- ried on here in Classical’s Hall of Records is most important. Miss Stone and Mrs. Sheehan assist Mr. Chatto in filling out college tran- scripts and employment applica- tions, check on school supplies, and work on report cards. Filing and countless other matters keep these two very busy. Lert to Ricut: Miss Stone, Mrs. Sheehan OFFICE AIDES To the office aides, students who volunieer their time to assist the office staff, go the jobs of col- leciting attendance envelopes, de- livering the daily bulletin, and running errands.

LUNCHROOM LADIES Three times a day, a little over 180 days a year, meals must be pre- pared for us hungry students. The lunchroom ladies have the task of preparing nutritious, delicious meals in Classical’s kitchen. The healthy appearance of us Classicalites shows that their job is well done. Lert ro Ricut: Mary Scott, Greta Nimmo, Minnie Gamble, Dorothy Austin, Josephine F. Dalton, Catherine Garneau, Harry R. Jeffrey, Chairman of English Department ENGLISH FACULTY ENGLISH DEPARTMENT The Classical English Department has always given its students excellent train- ing in that subject. Beginning with a re- view of basic English skills and grammar in tenth grade until the senior year with its reading of the classics, the English faculty capably teaches us ways of in- creasing our vocabularies, how to appre- ciate good literature and speech, and above all, how to think and judge matters for ourselves. Sentence structure, story and theme writing, drama, poetry, novels, and essays help to prepare us for college and our life ahead. Lert to Ricur: Theodore Pease, Christine Sauer, Edwin E.

SRLGlAleENGIISH’ GLASSES Within the past score of years several special English courses have found their way into the Classical curriculum. English 12S is one of these. Under the direction of Mr. Edwin Smith the mem- bers of this class read and report on books ranging from the non-fiction of the contemporary periods to the dramas of ancient Greece. Ibsen, Shaw, Shakespeare, O’Neil, Sophocles, and Plato are but a few of the authors read by this group. English 12S offers excellent preparation for college Eng- lish. Moreover, the tastes cultivated for fine classics make this course more than worthwhile. English 11J needs no introduction to Classical- ites. Dr. O’Grady’s journalism class is always pop- ular. Her students learn journalistic techniques and many other skills needed in producing a news- 19 paper. Those who successfully pass the ‘course ad- vance to the staff of the Classical Recorder, the school paper. Miss Sauer teaches advanced and beginners’ dra- matics. Her students are taught the many facets of staging and producing plays. Our assemblies have shown appreciation for scenes from many of these productions, and the annual play always attracts a great number of “first-nighters.” The Classical Blue and White, the year book, has no special class. However, Miss Boylan and her staff spend many periods on careful thought and study before any writeups or layouts are “ok’d” for publication. Certainly the Classical English Department offers something enjoyable for everyone. 81920212223 al ie MODERN LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT = Habla vd. mucho espanol? Parlez-vous francais ? Sprechen Sie deutsch? German, Spanish, and French are taught at Clas- sical. During every hour of the school day modern language classes are in session. Of course, our first introduction to each language consists of basic skills and elementary readings; but as we advance from year to year, we read the classics of these lan- guages, act out their plays, and also learn to sing in the language. We listen to recordings made by those who speak in their native tongue. Under the euidance of our well-trained teachers we carry on our own classroom conversations.

ANCIENT LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT Gallia est omnis divisa en partes tres. “Gaul as a whole is divided into three parts.” Thus begins Caesar’s Gallic Wars, a book familiar to hundreds of Classical students of today and yesterday. Miss Shaffer and Miss Dean teach the time honored language, Laiin. Aside from the bene- fits to their English vocabularies and the knowl- edge of another language, Latin students find Caesar most interesting. His achievemenis and de- feats are recorded before them just as they were when Caesar himself first set them down. Several of the betier Latin students take Latin 3. They read the works of Virgil and other contem- porary poets and writers. 21 Miss Ruth Shaffer, chairman SOCIAL STUDIES FACULTY Lerr to Rrent: David H.

SOCIAL STUDIES- DEPARTMENT Of all the subjects taught at Classical none so fires the imagination as history. Alexander the Great, Rome, Greece, the Crusaders, the Renaissance, the New World, the birth and growth of the United States, all live again, brought to life by teachers who have a love of their subjects. Students at Classical find no problem in staying awake in history class. Our teachers don’t call for constant repetition of dates and names, but ask for the causes behind an event, for the people who took part in it, and why they took part. Humorous and true anecdotes help to make ancient history, American history, and European history live. Classical is also fortunate to have two special Social Studies classes. Mr. Brown teaches a very interesting course in high school economics. Mr. Corbin teaches Problems of Democracy, a course concerned with local and state govern- ments, with social agencies and the like. The P. of D. classes frequently visit these agencies and government offices to observe first hand their works and problems. ee ae BNE 4; H. Howard Lynch, Chairman SCIENCE DEPARTMENTS In this age of extensive scientific achievement, Science courses have assumed an important place in Classical’s curriculum. Chemistry, physics, biol- ogy, and physiology are available to students as are special courses in botany and astronomy for those who desire them. The teachers present these subjects in a most interesting manner, using mate- rial as up io the minute as possible. The labora- tories are well equipped with modern scientific equipment. There is nothing more exciting than a period spent in working with electricity, in study- ing the development of plant, animal or human life, or in conducting chemical experiments.

Here we find several mathematics courses, varied enough to suit every student’s taste. Algebra, geometry, and trigonometry are offered in the C.P. course; consumer’s math is given to sen- iors in the general course. In this course a student learns how to make household budgets and to fill out tax forms. Besides the varied subjects, another feature which accounts for the popularity of the Mathe- matics Department is the teaching staff. All the teachers, of course, know their sub- ject well, but they also know how to pre- sent their subjects in an interesting, in- formative manner. HOME ECONOMICS AT CLASSICAL HIGH Home economics for girls is a course consisting of the study of foods, clothing, and home prob- lems. The foods class attempts to develop points of health, economy, sociability, and general knowl- edge of foods. In the three classes of clothing offered, courses in improvement of appearance, selection of clothing and construction are given. For eleventh and twelfth grades the class of home problems deals with problems involving home life. Miss Gammons and Miss Hewitt teach all these classes on the familiar third floor.

These are all under the able direction of Miss Buckley. The most varied course is the general course. The student is acquainied with many different materials such as pencils, charcoal, pastels, water colors, and poster paints. During certain times the student works on special projecis such as figure drawings, portraits, illustrations, and landscapes. In the costume design class the student learns color harmony and design. Ancient costumes are studied to inspire modern designs. Originality in costume design is the main theme. The poster class is made up of students who are very quick and who are able to produce several posters in a short time. Sports, dances, elections, and plays are thus brought to the attention of the student body. The studenis of the interior decorating class study color and design relating to homes. Histori- cal furniture produces new ideas. After much re- Miss Rose Buckley Art Instructor search the students plan a room to scale, complete with furniture, rugs, pictures, curtains, lamps, ete. With a color plan in mind they paint the room and make it complete.

Besides directing the choir, the madrigal singers, the girl’s chorale, the orches- tra and the band, Mr. Amerman teaches theory and harmony and music appreciation. Mr. Amerman also leads a church choir, and in his spare time, he composes, reads, and practices the piano. BOYS’ PHYSICAL EDUCATION DIRECTORS, WENDELL P. BURR, HENRY BATT BOYS’ GYM The boys’ gym classes at Classical are conducted by Mr. Burr and Mr. Batt. Throughout the winter months, seasonal sports such as basketball, hand- ball, and volleyball are explained, and practice is gained in the fundamentals of those sports. Exer- cises also play a big part in keeping the boys in condition, and the obstacle course at the Armory which is used in the warmer months serves its part too. Although Classical is not the largest school in the city, it has a proportionately large representa- tion of boys out for the various athletic teams, and those teams are often high in comparison to other high school teams—a fact which speaks well of the boys themselves, of the benefit of the gym classes, and of the instruction which is given. BUILDING BETTER BODIES 30 Deeg gapc es pp ial Sa eo ‘ ay GIRLS’ GYM One of the assets of Classical High School is a well equipped girls gym. There is a wide variety of sports activities in which the girls may participate. Other activities are modern and tap dancing, stunts and tumbling, and apparatus. There are interclass tournaments and _ after school sports with the other high schools of the city.

Classical offers such a course taught by Miss Dorothy Porter. Aside from the fundamentals of typing, we learn how to type book reports, essays, business letters, and envelopes correctly. Typing is a wise choice as an elective in anyone’s program. Miss Dorothy Porter Typing Instructor 32 MISS BLISS Probably no one woman is so responsible for making Classical a great high school as Miss Bliss. She, for many years, was both office worker and teacher. The high admiration to her as a woman and the great respect shown to her as an educator is best told to us by the many papers of apprecia- tion the early students of Classical High gave to her. A science class taught by William Orr. An Art class in the new high school, 1899. TESTS AND REPORT CARD The above papers are what the students of Classical in 1852, had to face. The four top papers are examinations for entrance to Classical. Some of the questions include: “State principal events of the French and Indian War in the years 1758 and 1759.” “In what year did it close?” “Give without explanation the cube of 262144.” “In what directions do the river of N.A. flow?” “Write one or more sentences containing all the parts of speech, and define a simple, compound, and complex sentence.” The middle card is a report card of attendance, scholarship and deportm ent. This student must have been intelligent as his marks averaged 9.658 and his deportment was 10. It is interesting to note the difference in the type of marking. The bottom two cards are rewards of merit for particularly outstanding work. 34 JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Lert to Ricut: Laura Peabody, treasurer; Richard Myler, president; Joan Abajo, secretary; and Myrna Selwitz, member at large.

The ofh- cers of the class are as follows: Jack Norton, presi- dent; Louis Heafitz, vice-president; Mary Rintoul, Schupack, Joanne Heit, member at large. The class is also secretary; Stephen treasurer; and fortunate to have three fine advisors: Mrs. Crane, Miss Fitzgerald, and Miss Marston. Our class has taken pride in supporting many of the extra cur- ricular activities of the school including sports, music, drama, and outside clubs. The class has al- ready made plans for a school banner and kept the 40 salesmen from the ring company well supplied with orders. Our constitution has set a fine example for classes yet to come. Because our class has sup- ported many of the school functions, we are sure that “The Freshie Fling,” the dance we are about to put on, will be a major success. Besides being an energetic class of many abilities, the teachers have come to the conclusion that we are of high scholastic rating. All these qualities have made this class nineieen-fifty-four a fine presentation of what Classical High School’s pupils should be.

Parish OLD GRADUATES Look sharply, is your great grandmother or erandfather here? This is a picture of a graduating class in 1866. Ii is interesting to note their dress and also the stern looks from the gentlemen. Mr. Ariel Parish is at the far right and mixed in with the students are Miss Bliss and the other assistants. When a class assembles for the last time at Classical High School for the Class Day exercises one of the most im- pressive ceremonies is the planting of the ivy. Andrew Georgaroudakis, president of the class of 1951, assisted by Louis Mar- sella, president of the class of 1952, plant- ed the ivy on June 8, 1951. What has become of the class of 1951?

The first yearbook of any sort was the Kappa Annual (top right) which was published by a school fra- ternity in 1896. The Pnyx was published in 1899 by a group of fraternities (top center). The Alptrean was also a fraternity publication (top left.) In 1907 the Pnalka appeared (lower left). In 1920 we had the Brown and Gold (lower right) and in 1921 the first Blue and White came out. In the center you see last year’s book which has grown into not just a story of our school year, but also an artistic achievement. The advertising staff this year, as be- fore, was under the capable supervision of Miss Irene Horrigan. The remaining mem- bers of last year’s advertising staff, Anne Grodzins, Iris Latow, and Bob Damon, were supplemented by several new staff members: Jo-An Healy, Elaine Xenakis, Jim Kraft, Dick Clarke, and Bob Cor- rigan.

There would be no yearbook to commemorate the happy years at Classical, if it were not for the fruitful efforts of our tireless Blue and White Agents. With great forcefulness they solicit the yearbook subscriptions in their respective home- rooms, and distribute the books when the printer returns the finished product. This year’s highly successful subscription cam- paign extended from November through January under the direction of Miss Dorothy Porter with John Mason and Paul Persons as assistants. Probably one of the most familiar and friendly faces around our school is that of Mr. Wright, our photographer. He is now in his forty-fifth year as school photographer. The Blue and White can most ably speak for Mr. Wright’s willingness to come again and again to take pictures. He never once refused our requests nor hesitated to come when asked. We appreciate Mr. Wright’s splendid work. 81 RECORDER STAFF Row 1: Joel Bettigole, Marilyn Ireland, Judith Anderson, Lorna Trencher.

This staff has undergone extensive training, completing a course in journal- ism, and comprises members carefully selected, by the adviser and the preceding outgoing staff, for their intelligence, for their sense of responsibiliy, and for their willingness to work. At first to the new staff the task of getting out an issue filled with interesting and informative material is an arduous one, for any undertaking is hard at the beginning; but to a loyal staff member, it is a labor of love. With experience each issue is more easily published, as the staff grows into a closely-knit, smooth-working machine. For its annual assembly this year the Recorder brought back, on December 21, former staff mem- bers, now at college, to speak on their college experiences. Also this year the Recorder, in association with the yearbook, was host to the winter convention of the Western Massachusetts League of School Publi- cations. Previously at the fall W.M.L.S.P. conven- tion, the Recorder received two cups, one for excel- lence in the news feature contest, the other for excellence in the Short Story contest. The Recorder had also a first-place rating certificate from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. The Recorder Short Story Contest, an annual event, was again sponsored by the paper. In 1952, as in the past, the Recorder, which has been continually published since 1887, has _at- tempted to be a truly representative organ of the school. It has endeavored to bring to the students an accurate picture of school life through compre- hensive news coverage, timely and informative edi- torials, lively and interesting feature writing, and complete and factual sports writing. We sincerely hope that we have succeeded in living up to the standards set by the Recorder in years past, that we have brought some enjoyment to you, the stu- dents of the school, and that in our small way we have helped to expound and extoll the heritage and the high caliber of Classical High School. = OLD RECORDERS The above picture shows some of the early school papers. The Palladium first published in 1883 was one of the early newspapers on a less literary style than the Messenger Bird. It dealt with such subjects as High Schools vs. Business Colleges and The Charter of Aenas. The Messenger Bird was first printed in 1848. It dealt in very deep and literary articles. The paper was published by the girls and lasted only a short time. The picture of the old Recorder shows how our paper has developed over the years. ee ee RES Dill TO Sonos This copy of The Port-Folio, dated 1850, was written entirely by hand and circulated among the students. 83 Here we see Dick Clark, Blue and White member, at the open- ing of the W.M.L.S.P. Convention at Classical High School. In the background are Ann Lattinville, Jeanne Gorman, Sue D’Italia and Iris Latow. In this picture Miss Fontaine of the Art Department of Trade High School is speaking on the development of the year book. In the background is James Kraft, Blue and White Siaff member. 84 Speaking in the library on fea- ture stories in school newspapers, is Durbin H. Wells of the Daily News. 85 Speaking on sports in school newspapers was Walter Graham of the Daily News. Miss Iris Latow, Blue and White member, is seated in the background.

The Dramatic Department of Classical High School has through the years developed an excel- lent reputation. Back in 1852 the major dramatic performances were at graduation and at the annual exhibitions where poems and stories were read. Today, the Drama Class is one of the most active eroups in Classical. Drama has developed into a four period a week course with two separate classes. One class is for the more advanced stu- dents and one is for the beginners. The highpoints of this year’s dramatic work were its two major productions, You Cant Take It With You and The Barretts of Wimpole Street. You Can't Take It With You was presented on Friday December 14 and 15. This first show was given in the high school auditorium. and Saturday evenings, The members of the Drama Class were particularly pleased to be able to present a Pulitzer Prize play. The cast thoroughly enjoyed themselves while working out this production. For the P.T.S.A. meeting on March 18 the Drama Class shared honors with the Music Depart- DRAMA 94 ment. They presented a one act play, Confessional, by Percival Wilde. The play dealt with a family’s struggle against the temptations of money. The fine cast included Margaret James, Joyce Williams, Bruce Bradley, Charles Howard, and James Kraft. The next major production was The Barretts of Wimpole Street. This was presented on April 17 and 18 at Trade High Auditorium. The play turned out to be a stunning production in every way with a setting which was an elegant example of nine- teenth century living and with costumes of the graceful hoop-skirt period. The acting throughout was especially superior. Special note should be made of Elinor Friedman’s vivid and true por- trayal of Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Everyone felt that the Drama Class had achieved its greatest triumph. A story about the Drama Class would be incom- plete without the director, Miss Sauer, who is the inspiration behind the work of the young actors. Miss Sauer never tires of her constant coaching and planning and the gratitude of her students and the excellent response of the school is her reward.

This club met weekly to debate on current and historical subjects. The entire school plus any other spectators witnessed these. The Classical High School Senate attempts to provide the boys of Classical High Schoo] with an opportunity to become versed in the fundamentals of discussion, debate, and parliamentary law and to gain practice in the use of those fundamentals. Each of the bimonthly meetings is devoted to a formal debate or an informal discussion with the president acting as mediator. The topics in ques- tion are always of great interest and are most often on current affairs. The practice gained in the regular meetings is put to use each year in the American International College Model Congress, to which a large Classical delegation goes each year. Two of the delegates are chosen as Senators, the remainder are Representa- tives. The time is spent in various committee meet- ings where the bills submitted by the attending schools are investigated, in meetings of each of the main bodies where the bills are again discussed, and in a joint session where the bills are voted on by all members. The Congress closes with a final banquet at which a trophy for the most outstand- ing member of the Congress is presented. This trophy was won last year by a delegate from Clas- sical High School. The Culmination of the year’s activities is the Senate Tablet Debate, an annual debate for which four Senators are chosen by a group of teachers. These Senators compete in a debate before the stu- dent body and the winner of that debate has his name engraved on the marble tablet in the north- east staircase, to be preserved for posterity.

Speaking here is Robert Corrigan. 96 PIERIDES 1906-1952 Every other Monday afternoon we may find our popular girls’ discussion group, Pierides, busy hearing interesting lectures, reading poetry or plays, or discussing and debating all kinds of ques- tions from the value of study periods to the state of morals in the United States. All 11th and 12th grade girls who have attainted a “B” or better average in English are heartily welcome to join. This club was founded in 1906. There were two divisions; Alpha for the older girls and Beta for the younger girls. The girls’ interests then centered chiefly on literature and debating. Pierides used to present a play annually. In 1917 they defeated the MEMBERS IN GOOD STANDING PIERIDES SENIORS Elinor Friedman Marilyn Ireland Pauline Jansizian Hannah Klein Marjorie Klempner Carole Perlman Anastasia Spelios Suzanne D’Italia Martha Stickle JuNtIors Lois Abbe Joan Boutote Arlyne Davis Sandra Harmetz Joan Kaplinsky Judy Levine Rose Levin Janet Nelson Judy Wallach Joyce Williams Anne Woodmansee Myrna Selwitz Sema Korol For the Phillips Prize Speaking Contest.

Phillips, who had always been interested in the club, left a fund in her will to furnish prizes for public speaking contests. Four girls are chosen to talk on an agreed subject. The best speaker receives a prize of $5.00; the second best, $3.00; and all contestants receive a valuable book in recognition of their interest and effort. Much of the credit for the fine accomplish- ments of the girls goes to their adviser, Miss Sarah Porter, who so willingly gives her time and useful advice. The practice in poise and self-expression is invaluable to these girls as they go out to become the future leaders of America.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT TOZ121 052 One of the most important organizations in the school is Student Government, which expresses the suggestions and ideas of the student body. When- ever possible Student Government carries out these suggestions. During the year Student Government conducted the school-wide elections, the Classical Carousel, the Correspondence with the French School, and the Student Control Study Halls. In addition to these regular activities Student Government held a drive for pencils for Syria and organized an honor roll society to replace the Pro Merito. The group’s adviser for the year was Mr. Lynch. The officers for the first half-year were President, Barbara Maier; Vice-presidents, John Mason and George Easton; and Secretary, Janet Nelson. For the second half they were John Mason, President: Janet Nelson, Vice-President; and Sally Chandler, Secretary. Voting for Class Officers each year is conducted by the Student Government.

To be a member, each member pays four dollars at the beginning of each school year. The S.T. ticket, which he receives, enables him to gain admission to most school activities, such as sports, dances, plays, and concerts, for a reduced price. The S.T. money is allocated among the school organizations, and all profits are returned to the fund. Each home room has an agent who transacts the room’s business with Mr. Lynch, Mr. Brown, and Mr. L. W.

GLRESaaANDSBOYoee AT ROLES 1924-1952 Since 1924 the Boys’ and Girls’ Patrol has been a very necessary part of the everyday life of Clas- sical High School’s students. They make the school a better place in which to procure learning un- hindered. They have many duties, some of which are as follows: The boys’ and girls’ rest rooms are care- fully watched by a few members every day to see that no rules are disobeyed. A number of boys are in the halls during every period to look for pass violators. Some boys also direct pupils during passing, thus eliminating many traffic hazards. A patrol of both boys and girls are in the lunch- room at both lunches. These studenis make sure all the tables are cleared. If accidents occur, a capable boy or girl quickly comes to the rescue. The girls serve as ushereties during the many activities of the school and are always willing to give a helping hand in any emergency that arises. The members of this very worthwhile organiza- tion have become a symbol of good citizenship in Classical High School. The school looks forward to a bright future with this very capable group of siudents advised by Mr. Ressler and Miss Lewis.

The student is an active member, thus creating a better bond be- tween the student, teacher, and parent. Some of the activities of this year have been an open house where the parent has a chance to meet his child’s teachers, an activ- ity night where the parent ob- serves his child at work in differ- ent clubs, and a play where the students of the drama class enter- tain. Representatives of the three groups lead a discussion concern- ing the correct choice of a col- lege.

The increasing tension in world affairs has greatly augmented the imperative need of knowing and understanding our fellow men. At the bi-monthly meetings guest speakers, including world travelers, foreign students, and distinguished members of the community, give the students a vital personal slant about other countries. Many times the speakers accompany their lectures with beautiful slides or displays of interesting sou- venirs. The speakers during the year have includ- ed: Mr. and Mrs. Mirinoff, Dr. Helen Theinert, Dr. Woo, Mrs. Maleka Brown, Mrs. Sadie Tabackman, Professor Weckworth, and Miss Marian Evans. LR.C. is interested not only in obtaining general knowledge about other countries, but also in ad- vancing better world relations. This year, for ex- ample, many members of the club corresponded regularly with a large group of Japanese high school students. The results of this correspondence have been gratifying and worthwhile. In the same spirit I.R.C. has sent a CARE package to Europe for the sixth consecutive year. 103 I.R.C. holds a membership in the Foreign Policy Association and is the only youth organization in the city with a membership in the Adult Education Forum. I.R.C. was founded in 1932 by Miss Harriet Marr, who gave an unusual impetus to the organi- zation. Mr. Milton K. Corbin, acting as club ad- viser, deserves a great deal of credit for the success of I.R.C. in recent years. With his direction plus the work of the officers and the fine cooperation of the club members, themselves, I.R.C. has made a splendid record for the year.

CHEERLEADERS 1924-1952 The secret yen of almost every Classical girl is to be a cheerleader. These girls de- serve much credit for their hard work cheering our varsity teams on to victory and supporting them even when defeat is on the way. Not only are these fortunate girls maturing physically by cheerleading, but also mentally. These girls are guided by the able gym instructor, Miss Patricia Craib.

The group provides a variety of tastes and brings to us many interesting pro- erams. During the year Classical has enjoyed an artist from the Walt Disney Corporation, who illustrated the art of cartooning; Colonel Charles Furlong who chose as his topic, “Where Do We Go From Korea?”; Roy Brigg, Executive Secretary of the Allied Youth Council, who spoke on the use of alcohol by teens; Robert Tristrom Coflin, a Profes- sor at Bowdoin College, who talked in general on poetry; and Solom Rizk, author of “A Syrian Yankee”, who gave an autobiography. Our com- mittee tries to not necessarily bring many pro- erams but lays stress upon the interests of the student body.

SCIENCE CLUB 1947-1952 The Science Club, an active group of young sci- entists, travels to various neighboring manufactur- ing plants to observe scientific methods used in industry. Aside from these tours of Westinghouse, Chapman Valve, and other commercial organiza- tions, the club members perform experiments re- lated to physics and chemistry. The twenty or more members of the Science Club have Warren Pearson as the President, Janet Crozier as Secretary, and Mr. Howard Lynch of the Science Department as Adviser. 106 Mr. Guptill, the past adviser of the Rifle Club, retired from teaching here at Classical in the mid- dle of the year. RIFLE CLUB 1948-1952 The Rifle Club is not as publicized as many other clubs, but it is an outstanding organization. The boys and the one girl who belong do so for the sheer enjoyment which they gain out on the range. Trade High School’s rifle range provides a place for the team to practice for tournaments. In their meets with other schools of this vicinity our team has performed outstandingly.

RED CROSS 1948-1952 The American Junior Red Cross began its fund- raising drive with a spirited kick-off assembly in October. With Art Seaver as master of ceremonies, some fine entertainment was provided by several talented students. Interesting talks were presented by Margot Wagner, Robert Radner, and Mr. Everett McCue, chairman of the Junior Red Cross Enrollment Drive. By the end of the month, 97% of the members of Classical Senior High School had contributed money, making it possible for the club to accomplish several worthwhile activities. Since the organization sent a correspondence album to Japan last year, the main project this year was the preparing, the packing, and the send- ing of a school chest to some foreign country. This was carried out by a committee of students who shopped for sports and school supplies to fill the chest, which was made by the wood shop of Clas- sical Junior High. When the cover was nailed in place, it marked the third time that Classical took on the $100 task, the first box going to the Ameri- can zone of Germany and the second to Pakistan. The officers for the year were: Robert Radner. President; Margot Wagner, Vice-President; Arthur 108 Seaver, Treasurer; and Eleanor Busansky, Sec- retary. Classical was well represented at Junior Red Cross summer functions in that Margot Wag- ner attended the National Convention held in New York during June, and Robert Radner went to the Wellesley Training Center in July. Throughout the school year, Judith Bloch represented the club on the assembly committee, while Mary Rintoul and Windsor Sturtevant kept the rest of the members informed on the happenings of the interschool council. Junior Red Cross sponsored entertainment again brightened the Westover Field Hospital for wound- ed war veterans. In December, magazines were col- lected and shipped on to men in Goose Bay, Labra- dor. Other hospital work was done in the Spring- field Hospital by nine girls who volunteered for service as Junior Gray Ladies. Under the able supervision of Miss Harriet Hewitt, its adviser, the Junior Red Cross hopes to continue its work of making things just a little bit easier, for those in need both at home and abroad. STAMP CLUB Row 1, terr to ricHtT: Dick Clarke, Julian Freidman, Willis Brooks. Row 2, LEFT TO RIGHT: Donald Holmes, Paul Persons, John Blair, Bernard Kosto. STAMP CLUB 195181952 The stamp club was reorganized in December 1951 by John Blair, who made an appeal to the student body for members, but the responses were few. John, the president pro tem., drew up a con- stitution for the club which was unanimously ratified by its members. An election of officers was held and the results were as follows: President, Julian Freedman; Vice-president, Paul Persons; Secretary, John Blair; and Treasurer, Donald P. Holmes. Formerly advised by Mrs. Rhoda Hall, a junior high teacher here, who relinquished advis- ing the club during an illness last year, the stamp club is now advised by Miss Margaret Kelley, a mathematics teacher. The stamp club, officially entitled The Classical High Philatelic Society, is one of Classical’s most 109 active clubs. It meets every other Thursday, alter- nating with I.R.C., at 2:50 in Room 112. Besides the officers, the club membership is made up of five other boys: Willis Brooks, Bernard Kosto, David Williams, Richard Clark, and Donald Moses. The members devote the meeting to trading or selling stamps with each other and perhaps a stamp auction or even having an outside speaker. The members receive great pleasure from the club because they not only have the opportunity of bettering their collections, by both friendly advice and obtaining new stamps, but because new friend- ships are kindled. This is why the members take pride in their club, although it is one of Classical’s smallest. .

The boys have met every Wednesday evening at the “Y” on Chestnut Street to participate in many varied activities. Some of the year’s high spots included a mock trial, a rumor clinic, a demonstration with liquid air by one of Springfield’s industrial scientists, and a “tall tales” contest. Several nights were set aside during the year to allow the club members to enjoy HI-Y 110 a Sports night and use the recreational facilities of ther: You Oliver Belisle was president of the club, with Peter Higgins, vice-president; Richard Atkinson, secretary; Alvin Southwick, treasurer; and Thomas Gaffney, chaplain.

This doesn’t reveal the true strength of the 1951 Bulldog squad. During the season spotty fielding and weak hitting cost our boys many close ball games that could have been won. The team had fine pitching with Wally Darden and Bob Domaigne handling the chores. The spotty hitting and fielding overshadowed this fine pitching, how- 114 ever. Boys playing steady ball all season for Classical were Jim Egan, Bud Getchell, Lou Mar- sella, and Dick Healy. With many veterans return- ing next year, Coach Sid Burr looks for a fine season. These holdovers should provide the balance on the club needed in order to get that vital hit or run in the late innings, and give the Bulldogs the victory.

After a mediocre campaign, the team never gave up, but came back strong in the latter part of the season to finish a creditable second in the Inter- school meet, and then on to win the cov- eted Western Mass. crown. This is a great tribute to Coach Vaughn who is one of the finest track coaches in the area. The team was not content to lay back after having just a fair opening, but it showed all the earmarks of a champ when it came back strong, to end up with a flying finish. Steady performers all season were Ralph Kerley and Gene Robbins in the sprints, Mal Bertram and Ed Rose in the middle distance events and Joe Mawson and Bob Dufault in the field events. ile VARSITY Front Row, Lerr to Ricut: Clyde Jones, William Stanford, Allan Jackson, Russell, Morris Jones, Dave Vincent, Jim Egan, Don Hallett, Dick Serafino and Al Badone.

The four wins were put together as a winning streak that was snapped by Tech in the final game of the campaign. Taking into consideration that we were playing our first year in Class “A”, and that our team was very inexperienced at the start of the season, we had a very good year. With a break many of our games that were lost could have been won. The loss of key players hurt us in many eames. The outstanding player for Classical was the hard. running Don Hallet. A great tribute was paid to Hallet by Coach Batt. He said, “that Hallet was the best all-round he ever coached.” Other out- standing performers were Dick Serafino, Al Badone, Harvey Grant, Al Marchetto, Herb Des- mond, and Roosevelt Parrish. 118 Tony Arrighi, FOOTBALL FOOTBALL SCHEDULE 1951 Classical Classical Classical Classical Classical Classical Classical West Springfield 12 Cathedral 34 Trade 0 Northampton 13 Brattleboro, Vt. 6 Chicopee 0 Tech 13 FOOTBALL Starting Team: Line, Lerr ro Ricur: Mike Shumway, George Shenas, Dick Shumway, Roosevelt Parrish, Herb Desmond, and Harvey Grant. BAcKrieLp: Dick Serafino, Greg Montana, Don Hallett, Al Badone and Jim Ega n. West SpRINGFIELD—On September 22 Classical opened its first Class “A” season with the West Side Terriers. Classical had trouble getting its offense rolling with Al Badone being the only con- sistent gainer. The West Side boys could not pene- trate the Classical offense either but they gained consistently through the air. Through these same air-lanes they scored both TD’s. The loss of both George Shenas and Jim Egan early in the game hampered the Bulldogs also. CaTHEDRAL—Even though they were out- manned, and out-weighed the fighting Classical team time and again opened large holes in the Cathedral line and ripped off many long gains. Although the score was lopsided the Bulldogs re- ceived many compliments for having a scrappy ball club. The outstanding Classical runner was Badone while Jones starred on defense. Final score was 34-0. TrRADE—Classical put on a late fourth period spurt, and pulled out a 13-0 win. Don Hallet and Ronnie Kariofiles scored the TD’s. This win ended the winless and scoreless drought for Classical. Other boys who stood out for Classical were Grant, Serafino, and Parrish. 119 NorTHAMPTON—With Classical taking advan- tage of every break they pulled out a 26-13 upset victory. The return of George Shenas strengthened the Classical defensive unit. This win marked the second in a row for the Bulldogs. Hallet, Badone, and Montana did the scoring. BratTLeBporo, Vt.—Led by the running of Don Hallet, who scored five touchdowns, and the pass- ing of Dick Serafino, Classical romped over last years Vermont State Champions to the tune of 46-6. Late in the third quarter Coach Batt cleared the bench. Many of the “subs” turned in creditable performances for Classical. CuicopeE—A determined Classical team made it four straight by defeating Chicopee 14-0. A scrappy and smart Classical team completely out- played its heavier opponent. Again it was Hallet and Serafino who sparked the Bulldog offense. The line-backing of Parrish and C. Jones was also superb, TrecH—Classical’s four-game winning streak was finally snapped at four straight at the hands of Tech in a hard played contest. This gave the bull- dog’s a 4-3 record on the season. A late fourth period pass spelled defeat for our side. Again Don Hallet was the offensive star for Classical.

BASKETBALL 1951 In his first year of coaching the Classical High School basketball team, Coach Joe Ambrose led his charges to a good season’s mark of nine wins and six losses. After losing three of last year’s starting five, Coach Ambrose brought his boys along, although they were hot and cold all season. Chuck O’Connell and Laury Shine were consistent scorers throughout the season. Another bright spot was the work of the other three starters; Ed Mala- chowski, Dick Bailey, and Jon Robarge. Through- out the season the team flashed signs of being a much better team than the record implied. One of these times the game against Greenfield in which we beat them by the convincing score of 61 to 44. In that game the Bulldogs looked like a real ball club in winning handily over the tournament bound Greenies. Overall, in his first year of coach- ing, the year was a very successful one for Joe Ambrose and the Bulldogs. A skirmish under the defensive hoop. J.V.

SWIMMING TEAM The Swimming Team has been slowly building its squad and this year has had its strongest season. The team was able to capture three victories against Holyoke twice, and Amherst and were de- feated by Tech iwice, Deerfield Academy and Williston Academy. In the Western Mass. Cham- pionships they placed second to Tech. In the Massachusetts State Championships they placed third. In the New England Meet they again placed with their four man relay. This team consisted of Dick O'Neil, Jim Kraft, Marty Kaufman and Bob Shields. Captains George Easton and Bob Shields helped to strengthen both the power and spirit of the team. Next year captains Mariy Kaufman, Jim Kraft and Dick Myler expect to have an even better team. Coach Otto Wulff should be congratulated on his expert work in developing the team last year and we can look forward to his fine coaching next year.

STUDENT LEADERS The girls’ gym classes are so large that it is impossible for our two gym teachers to give the proper attention to all the students. For this reason the Student Leaders were organized. On the basis of excellence in physical education, scholarship, and citizenship, from one to three senior girls in Demonstrating 136 every gym class act as student teachers. It is their duty to be ready at all times to demonstrate, assist, or even teach such things as stunts, dance steps, and techniques. To distinguish them from the rest of the class, the Student Leaders wear a blue and white insignia on their uniforms. G.A.A.

THE GIRLS ATHEETIC This year, as every year, the Girls’ Athletic Asso- ciation has been a large force behind the spirit of Classical High School. It has not only offered athletic functions for the girls, but also social activites for the whole school. Opportunities in sports speak for themselves. On at least four days of every week, Miss Craib and Mrs. Andrews, the girls’ gym teachers, supervised an activity after school. The social functions were fewer but just as successful as in other years. Several representatives of the Girls’ Athletic Association planned an un- usual freshie day. To climax that hilarious day last October the G.A.A. sponsored the Harvest Hop. Most of the school turned out to enjoy the dancing and entertainment supplied by Red Bates and his musicians. In April, the Spring Frolic, an equally successful dance was held in honor of the coming of spring. The Springfield College Sportsmen fur- nished the music. 137 ASSOCIATION It is indeed an accomplishment to belong to the Girls’ Athletic Association for in order to be a member, a girl must take part in after-school activities at least ten times, each time giving her one point. If she acquires twenty points, she is entitled to a small letter “C”. Should she get thirty points, she may receive a large “C”’. If a girl got a large “C” in her freshman year and has thirty points in her junior year, she has earned her class numerals. If, in her senior year, she has thirty points, has received the highest awards in her freshman and junior years, and has no failing mark on her report card, she is awarded the G.A.A. honor pin. Each year the G.A.A. has introduced some new activity, some new opportunity to the students at Classical. Let’s hope that it can keep that pace for the next hundred years. pit, GW.

PSOne te GIRS seOh is Girls’ Sports have assumed a very important position among the activities at Classical High School. The first sport the girls took part in was basketball. In 1902, the first season, the girls had to ask permission from the Boys’ Athletic Associa- tion in order to stage their games. They won all but two games in that year. In 1904, the illustrious girls’ basketball team won the championship of Western Massachusetts. Basketball continued as the sole sport until the advent of Soccer and Field Hockey in 1919. Their practices were held two afternoons a week at Forest Park, just as they are today. Through the years, many other sports have been added. In 1918, a constitution was framed 139 and in 1919, the Girls’ Athletic Association was organized. This is the exact statement concerning its organization. “Through the war, woman has been steadily coming to the front, hence by a natural course of events, the Girls’ Athletic Asso- ciation has been organized.” For very small dues, any girl in the student body could be a member. The girls sent notes and flowers to its members and to the faculty when they were ill. They raised money very successfully with fairs and dances. Every year the G.A.A. sponsored a plan whereby the “best all around girl” would be chosen by the school. And each semester, the girls of the G.A.A. voted for the girl “with the most school spirit”. is Mr. Chatto awards the French The Washington and Franklin book prize to Claire Poulin. award goes to Lawrence Zim- merman.
