Classical High School - Blue and White Yearbook (Springfield, MA)

Text from Pages 1 - 168 of the 1954 volume:

- parity fursuit of L Be vey. ” cccseseecevese eee eT Se Pa 15 tt ne , ee is in i cI ors Chie Hla oo White a yearbook published ty the students of Classical high Srhonol Lad Springtield, Massarhwsvtts Foreword Alfred E. Smith, a distinguished American legislator and political leader, once said, “What is liberty? Liberty is an elusive thing. It isn’t a thing that you can lock up in the safe, turn the key and go away, and expect to find there when you come back. Eternal vigilance alone is the price that you pay ...” Since we are all faced with a world of uncertainty in which many forces outside our own nation play an important part in molding our future, the Blue and White has taken this opportunity to illustrate a few of the many rights which free people can enjoy. Although we are very apt to take them for granted now, our fore-fathers did not. They paid for their independ- ence from England with precious blood. Therefore, after the Constitution of the United States was ratified in 1788, some men felt that the rights of the people and of the states should be more efficiently guarded for the future. They did not want to take them for granted. And so the Bill of Rights, written for the most part by James Madison, was adopted in 1791, one hundred and eighty-four years after the first settlement in America, at Jamestown, Virginia. Yet these first ten amendments to the Constitution, which may be found on Page 146, do not contain all the rights of free people. Many rights are actually stated in other national as well as state documents. In this yearbook we have shown a few of our symbols and rights which play an important part in our lives here in Springfield, Massachusetts. The eagle on our cover, our national emblem, signifies the great strength and power of our free country. The inside cover, while depicting the rights to worship, to settle in other parts, and to learn through the help of museums and libraries, gives a concise picture of Springfield. The right to pursue learning is very important, not only to a nation which is strengthened by educated people, but also to each individual who gains resources that endure as long as life endures. The bell shown on Page 2 came down during the fire in the old City Hall January 5, 1905. It was used not only to “proclaim liberty throughout all the land and to a ll the inhabit- ants thereof,” just as the Liberty Bell in Independence Hall in Philadelphia was used, but also to announce fires and the time of day. Our City Hall is a symbol of local government through which every citizen may express his opinions. One of the main reasons that men originally came to America was to exercise freedom of thought. And so the Holy Bible is a reminder of the great heritage left by our forefathers. Our free nation could not exist without free- dom of the press to inform us fully on public matters. A dictator fears a watchful press which can reveal injustice and abuse of power, because an informed public can act to protect its liberties. All of our citizens can gather together and make decisions. Each one is free to speak and vote for or against an issue. Americans are given equal chances to compete with others, not only in recreational and business fields, but also in social and educational fields. These rights are living principles of freedom, the heritage of every American. They are reminders of the blessings we enjoy. Let us not forget Somerset Maugham’s warning: “If a nation values anything more than freedom, it will lose its freedom; and the irony of it is that if it is comfort or money that it values more, it will lose that too.” 4 wu 30 1970 Ti Lit Til it Wit Ui Rights of Hree Penple Pursuit of Learning INTRODUCTION “We the People...” ADMINISTRATION .

Anyone who has ever known her will never forget Mrs. Crane’s kindly good nature and readiness to assist any student willing to try. Harriet Hewitr Mr. Ressler’s robust manner and ever-present humor will always have a place in the heart of every student fortunate enough to have been in one of his classes. DonaALp RESSLER Ardiratinn These three teachers have devoted many years of their lives to the education of Classical youth. In gratitude for their magnanimous contribution to Classical High School, the Blue and White for 1954 is affectionately dedicated to Mrs. Crane, Miss Hewitt, and Mr. Ressler. ] Highlights Sept. 2 Mr. Williams replaces Mr. Sweeney.................

CLARENCE I. CHATTO Anyone who has ever spoken to Dr. Chatto is equally impressed by his friendliness, which promotes confidence, and by his dignity, which in- duces respect. Years after a student has left Classical, he will remember Dr. Chatto as much for his geniality and sense of humor, as for his wisdom and erudition. 10 We Americans enjoy more freedom and more of the fine and privileges that go with freedom than any other people in the world. We take all these things for granted. But freedom is not a gift. It was hard won. It can be preserved only by the intelligent and vigilant and tireless effort of all our people. Every right, every privilege we have carries with it an obligation. Freedom of worship for ourselves is empty without respect for the honest beliefs of others. The right to speak our mind and to be heard implies the willingness to listen to what others have to say, to reserve jud gment until all the facts are known, and to accept the decision of the majority. So it is with every advan- tage that we possess as a free people. Every right bears on its shoulders a duty, every privilege an obligation. When citizens of a free country fail to do their duty and to honor their obligations, that country ceases to be free. It is good that you have built your yearbook around the theme of the Bill of Rights and the privileges of freedom. It is even more important that you grow up to be men and women worthy to live in a free country and wise enough to keep it free. (El Pe roere Z CLetles Abt MR. RUSSELL WILLIAMS, ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL MR. WILLIAMS = : Although he has been with us only a short time, Mr. Williams, our assistant principal, has already shown that he possesses the cordiality, helpfulness, and sincerity which characterize the staff, and faculty of Classical. After serving the High School of Com- merce for several years, Mr, Williams entered upon his first year at Classical this September, and will, we hope, continue to promote the welfare of the best school in the solar system for many more years to come. He may be seen hurrying through the corridors every day, but he is never too intent on his mission to greet a student with a smile and a friendly word. His many and varied duties, both in his office and among the pupils, never seem to affect his equanimity, and his voice is hardly ever heard to rise above its subdued tone, although he has a way of modulating it that freezes the blood of any culprit unfortunate enough to be apprehended by him. Mr. Williams is among that admirable few who devote themselves entirely to any task they undertake, and whose integrity and tire- less industry always gain their ends. Classical can be thankful that , OFF DUTY such a man has taken part in the shaping of its destiny. 12 GUIDANCE COUNSELORS One of the most heartening factors to every student in his battle to gain an education is the knowledge that the doors of the guidance counselors are always open. Mrs. Bemis and Mr. Finn aid every student from the time he picks his Freshman courses until he decides upon his college. They obtain summer em- ployment and after-school jobs for the pupils; they help them with any aca- demic or social problems; and with their knowledge of each individual’s char- acter and capabilities, they interpret aptitude tests to determine in what field of endeavor he would best advance. The Boston University test, taken during the junior year, determines the students’ ability in such fields as: reading comprehension, space relations, bookkeeping, vocabulary, and geometry. Mr. William Finn and Mrs. Charles J. Rigali discuss her son’s ratings. wn As part of the guidance department, representatives of numerous colleges speak to us about their college. Mary E. Gugliuzza, assistant director at Union University, talks to Elaine Arm- strong, Sue Keuhn, Mrs. Dorothy Bemis, Constance Smith, Sheila Leider, and Patricia Albano about careers in nursing. 13 Dr. Nathaniel Bennett and Mrs. Anna Cole- man, our doctor and nurse, keep us students physically fit. Although they may not give in- ternal medication, they apply first aid and treat minor cuts. 14 Our capable and efficient secretaries in 105, Miss Stone and Mrs. Sheenan, perform many important services for Classical. They are in charge of supplies; they work on report cards; and they keep the files containing the scholas- tic records of all students in perfect order. They also assist Dr. Chatto in filling out col- lege transcripts and employment applications. Competent and hard-working Mrs. Wright and Mrs. Fitzgerald, the secretaries in our main office, are always on hand ready to help anyone who is troubled. Their numerous du- ties include the preparation of the daily bulle- tin, the issuance of passes and tardy slips, and the approval of early dismissals. Office Aids deliver notes, carry messages and assist in routine office work. SEATED: Marilyn Cluley, Wilma Davidson, Virginia Crandell.

ENGLISH DEPARTMENT English may be co nsidered the one basic subject, for no other subject can be fully understood with- out a command of the English language. A mastery of English is necessary in solving an involved algebra or physics problem, or in comprehensively reading a history or science text. In the study of any foreign language a knowledge of English verb forms is essential. The usefulness of English is by no means con- fined to school subjects. In any occupation or pro- fession, the ability to write and speak good English is one of the essential keys to success and advance- ment. The power of eloquent speech is fully as important to a department-store clerk making a sale as it is to a college professor lecturing a class. 16 English, as taught at Classical, includes not only composition and literature, but also, for those who elect it, journalism. The study of English and American literature provides entertainment as well as education, and gives insight into the social and political conditions of various eras. For those who wish an especially thorough program of literary education, the Classical English department pro- vides Mr. Smith’s 12S course, and for students in- terested in journalism and newspaper techniques there is the 11J course. The members of our capable English department are Mr. Edwin E. Smith, chairman, Dr. James McGuire, Dr. Aileen O’Grady, Miss Teresa Boylan, Miss Ruth Dickerman, and Miss Christine Sauer. llc English class listens to an oral talk on “How the Streets Got Their Names.” Sranp- ING: Kay Le Van.

STANDING, same order: Miss Ruth Shaffer, Miss Isabel THE LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT Students with the ability to speak, write and un- derstand a foreign language will find this knowl- edge increasingly valuable in the future. A knowl- edge of a foreign language is essential to success in many careers and professions. Knowing a language other than English is a valuable aid to the traveler. Our language department offers a variety of subjects which include Latin, French, Spanish, and 18 German. Advanced classes in these languages are provided if desired, and this year both Virgil and Cicero have been taught in the Latin department. The teachers in the language department are Miss Isabelle Kagwin, head of the modern lan- euages, Miss Ruth Shaffer head of the Latin depart- ment, Miss Mildred G. Auger, Miss Elizabeth A. Dean, Miss Elizabeth P. Lewis, Mr. Edwin Smith, and Mrs. Florence Smith.

HISTORY DEPARTMENT American History, Modern European History, World History, Ancient History, and Problems of Democracy constitute an unusually varied and ‘complete program of social studies instruction at ‘! Classical High School. The American history course is essential to good citizenship, for it is impossible to comprehend the ereatness of America without an appreciation of the past events which have contributed to that greatness. Modern European history is indispen- sable to improved foreign relations, for it helps one to understand the traditions and the culture of Europe. World history is invaluable to American 20 history, for it gives one an over-all picture of im- portant events which have helped to make the world what it is today. Ancient history not only provides an interesting background for all modern histories, but also covers the events which form the corner- stone of modern civilization. The problems of democracy course gives one an opportunity to learn how to cope with problems in the government. These courses are ably taught by the members of our history department: Mr. David H. Brown, chairman; Dr. Joseph Romita, Mr. Milton K. Corbin, and Miss Irene M. Horrigan. The history of our country is a required subject for stu- dents.

It is used in every conceivable field of work and forms an integral part of our existence. The mathematics department of Classical provides stu- dents with an opportunity to apply their knowledge of mathematics practically or to use it as a basic foundation for a future scientific or mathematical career. In addition to courses in geometry and algebra, students may take a 22 fourth year mathematics course which involves solid geometry, trigonometry, and a month or two at the end of the college subjects, analytical geometry, and calculus. They also may take a twelfth grade general mathematics course which teaches the practical application of mathe- matics. The teachers of the mathematics department are Leland Smith, chairman, Helen Flanagan, Margaret Kelley and Edna Marston. Math. 2 class constructs lines and proves construction.

E. C. Oliver, Miss Eileen Fitzgerald, Mr. Howard Lynch, and Miss Emma Battis. SCIENCE DEPARTMENT This year the science department has continued to offer its excellent courses in chemistry, biology, physiology, and physics. To these courses, physics review has been added for the purpose of giving additional physics preparation to those who plan to take engineering or advanced physics courses in college. A knowledge of the fundamentals of chemistry is useful in almost any field and is essential as background in undertaking the study of a profes- sion, such as pharmacy, which directly involves chemical compounds and mixtures. Biology is im- portant in itself, and can also be a stepping stone to the study of such fields as zoology and botany. The physiology course is an important aid in taking care of oneself properly, and it has proved invalu- 24 able to girls entering the nursing profession. Physics is important not only because of the prac- tical value of knowing the principles of matter and energy, but also because physics includes two sci- ences which will be essential to the future as well as the present: electronics and atomic energy. For those interested in electronics, the Classical science department has obtained instruments for testing radio parts, and a Geiger counter has been acquired for the benefit of those interested in atomic energy. Credit for the continued excellence of our science department goes to the department head, Mr. H. Howard Lynch, and his colleagues: Miss Emma Battis, Miss Eileen Fitzgerald, and Mr. Aleph FE. C.

All students have the opportunity to experience the creative process of planning, de- signing and executing their own projects. Painting and poster art, on a three-dimensional basis, in addition to sculpture in such varied media as plaster-of-paris, metal, and plastic, form a large part of the class work. Many school posters, as well as backdrops for the Carousel and other Classical productions, are produced by the Art De- partment. Also, students make visits to commercial art establishments, see films on various art subjects, hear talks by designers and commercial artists, and do research work at the library and museums.

Lerr to Ricur: Raw material form, an abstract by Janice Kline, three view illustrations and finished sculpture by William Nolte, Ann Keller, and Richard O’Brien. 26 MUSIC DEPARTMENT It is certainly no secret that Classical High School has one of the finest music departments in the city. This year its reputation has been upheld and enhanced under the direction of Mr. Warren Amerman. The entire music de- partment combined to present two inspiring concerts — one at Christmas and another in the spring. During the course of the year, the Madrigal Singers, who performed for various church organizations, the Springfield College Christmas Convocation, and the College Club of Springfield, won many friends by their unusually fine sing- ing. The A-Cappella choir formed the nucleus for the joint choruses, and also entertained at assemblies. The Boy’s Chorus, Upper Class Girls’ Chorale, and the Freshmen Girls’ Chorale all contributed to the success of the Music Depart- ment. The orchestra and band gave several outstanding per- formances at assemblies and at both concerts, and they won the acclaim of all who heard them. Warren AMERMAN The success of the department is due no small measure to Mr. Amerman’s informal manner which has won him the friendship and respect of all the students who have had the privilege of working with him.

TYPING DEPARTMENT Classical students are fortunate in being able to obtain typing instruc- tion in the school under the direc- tion of Miss Dorothy Porter. Emphasis is placed on manuscript typing, thus enabling the student to type his compositions easily. Typing proves invaluable in all fields of work as it saves time and makes work neat and accurate. Full advantage should be taken of this course for typing is an important skill to acquire. SUE : i DorotHY PORTER eee es BOYS’ PHYSICAL EDUCATION INSTRUCTORS. GIRLS’ PHYSICAL EDUCATION - INSTRUCTORS.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION At Classical, a healthy sound mind is the product of a body which has been strengthened by controlled exercises in the Physical Education program. Those in physical education classes have superior development, and receive satisfaction from their work. The activities have been care- fully selected to fill the requirements for all round develop- ment. Physical education also promotes development of fine standards of conduct and sportsmanship for which Classical is noted. It also teaches many new skills that would otherwise not have been known. Physical education has many lasting effects on those who participate in it and proves an interesting source of enjoyment for life. In work- ing with others the student feels a security that he would otherwise not possess. By broadening the physical self the Classical student will add to his personality, skills, and services. 29 LUNCHROOM AIDES The lunchroom aides earn extra money by cashiering in the lunchroom during fourth period and lunch hour.

The outstanding achievements of our class in scholar- ship, athletics, and extracurricular activities are shown elsewhere in this yearbook. The future will demonstrate the records that we shall make in college and later life. Although there is a deep feeling of regret as we end our three years at Classical, we look forward to making our mark in the world with the aid of the experience gained at the “greatest school in the universe’ — Classical. ANTHONY BEVIVINO Treasurer DoREEN Potts Member-at-Large STEPHEN SCHUPACK Vice President 34 To-the Class of 1954: Three short years ago you came to Classical as shy little Fresh- men (well —at least some of you were shy). As you looked ahead three years seemed a long time and a bit bewildering. But in retrospect how short the time has been. And now you are about to start a new phase of your education or to begin your careers. I enjoyed working with you as an adviser very much. You chose your officers and committees wisely and worked together harmoniously. I hope that you will always make as wise selec- tions in your associates and that you will continue to work together cooperatively in whatever surroundings you find your- selves. My best wishes go with you for a happy, and rewarding life. Marion A. CRANE To the Class of 754: Being one of the advisers to the Class of 1954 has not been the onerous chore | had expected. A fine camaraderie has pervaded the whole class since freshman days. The class officers and mem- bers of the committees with whom I have worked have always been cooperative, even amenable to advice! Consequently my congratulations to you on June eight will be tinged with sincere regrets, when I say Godspeed. EILEEN M. FITZGERALD Dear 54ers, My very best wishes go to you, as you venture forth from Classical High School into various chosen pathways. As alumni of our very fine school, may you continue to grow in a world of opportunity and peace! This age, in which we live, is full of the marvels of scientific accomplishment. Do enjoy these gifts and use them wisely for the advancement of all mankind! Genuine happiness is gained through consideration of and service to others. Energies and talents directed toward such a goal should pay good dividends. Remember, in Algebra, one could not prove that “2 = 1”, unless one divided by zero. Your responsibilities will never be zero in a free world! It has been a pleasure to have watched you develop during the past three years and to have served as one of your advisers. Much happiness and success to each and every one! EpNnA G, Marston To the Class of °54: I have been associated with the class of 1954 only for the past year, in a vain attempt to replace Mrs. Marion Crane who has retired. The association has been a very pleasant one and I have found you all most agreeable and cooperative as fellow workers. School years, it is said, are the best years of our lives, but we adults know that it is in the power of all of us to make every year the best year ever. We all carry our happiness with us and we all have the ability to make our years what we will. May life bring to you, and you to life, nothing but the best. FLORENCE Q. SMITH 30 CLASS HISTORY Freshman Year The Class of 1954 began its never-to-be-forgotten ° journey through Classical on September 5, 1951, as we entered the old stone structure, a bit timid, but with highest hopes and ambitions. In October we were formally received by the great tradition of “Freshie Day.” Before long we became estab- lished and elected our class officers: John Norton, president; Lewis Heafitz, vice-president; Mary Rintoul, secretary; Stephen Schupack, treasurer; and Jo Anne Heit, member-at-large. We were for- tunate to receive as our class advisers Mrs. Marion Crane, Miss Edna Marston, and Miss Eileen Fitz- serald. The Class Ring, Banner, and Constitution committees were formed, our class colors being chosen as green and white. In December the an- nual Christmas Concert was given under the capa- ble direction of Mr. Amerman. A splendid pro- duction of You Can't Take It With You was also presented. February brought with it the second annual Classical Carousel, Mississippi Mud—a few colorful and lively hours delightfully spent on a Showboat. In Madrigal Singers had the honor of performing before the Music Educators National Conference, Mississippi River March our appearing shortly after on a television show in the area. Two of the members of our class, Mary Rintoul and Leigh Wilson, were included in this group. April brought forth another excellent pro- duction by the drama class, The Barretts of Wim- pole Sireet, story of the memorable poet, Robert Browning, and his family. We soon saw the year draw swiftly to a close. Four of our devoted teachers left us: Miss Signhild Gustafson, Miss Sarah Porter, Mr. Harry Jeffrey, and Miss Rose Buckley. Hardly before we were aware of it, our freshman had had travelled the first expanse of our journey. year come to close —vwe Junior Year We resumed our journey in September, enthusi- astic and ambitious, to begin a fine year under the patient guidance of our advisers. We first elected our class officers, John Norton being re-elected president and Mary Rintoul being re-elected secre- tary. Stephen Schupack became vice-president, while William Friedman was elected treasurer and Doreen Potts member-at-large. Two new teachers were welcomed to our faculty, Dr. James McGuire to the English department and Miss Doris Mac- Kenzie in charge of the art department. In October the W.M.L.S.P. Convention at which both Blue and White and Recorder took prizes was held at the University of Massachusetts. December was bright- ened by another fine Christmas Concert under the able direction of Mr. Amerman. The end of 1952 36 brought with it the loss of two member of our English faculty whom we held in high esteem, Mr. Theodore Pease and Mr. Raymond Fenner. The new year began as we received charming Miss Ruth Dickermen from Commerce into our English department. Our third annual Classical Carousel, Alpine Holiday, gaily and delightfully ended Janu- ary. On April 17 we held our Junior Prom, Spring Fantasy, with Theresa Harrington crowned as our queen. In May a dazzling performance of Gilbert and Sullivan’s H. M.S. Pinafore, directed by Mr. Amerman, was a distinctive accomplishment. Our class exemplified its outstanding abilities as Ralph Baierlein and Mary Rintoul took the Harvard and Radcliffe Book Prizes, Brenda Danet won the Third Year French Prize, and Carolyn Czaja and John Norton became delegates to Girls’ State and Boys’ State. Thus we had reached the end of the second part in our journey, still looking upward and onward. Senior Year Finally the last part of our journey had arrived —the year we had so long awaited — our senior year. Martin Kaufman became our class _presi- dent; Stephen Schupack remained vice-president; Mary Rintoul remained secretary; Anthony Bevi- vino became treasurer; and Doreen Potts remained member-at-large. Mrs. Marion Crane left us, and Mrs. Florence Smith replaced her as class adviser with Miss Marston and Miss Fitzgerald. We deep- ly regretted the loss of our popular and friendly assistant principal, Mr. Phillip Sweeney. He was replaced by Mr. Russell Williams from Commerce. Mr. Ressler of the history department retired and was replaced by Dr. Joseph Romita. In October honors were again received by the Blue and White and the Recorder at W. M. L. S. P. In December our annual Christmas Concert was held on Tues- day evening at Trade school auditorium, a change from performances of previous years. At the end of January, our fourth annual Classical Carousel, Were From Texas, took us on a mystical holiday filled with gaity and warmth deep in the heart of Texas. May brought another fine Spring Concert. At the end of May began the last series of events in this most important year. The Senior Prom was held on the evening of June 4 at the Municipal Auditorium. Class Day, the Class Banquet and the planting of the ivy followed shorily afterward. Last of all on June 8 came Graduation night — the destination to which we had travelled so far, never to return. Years may come and go, the world and all it holds may change, but none of us can ever forget this part in our greater journey through life and what it has given us to keep forever.

Air Force) IN MEMORIAM Just as our yearbook was going to press, our class suffered a sad loss in the sudden death of Rhoda Shaponik. Her premature passing was a great shock to everyone and her presence will be missed by all her fellow students. We are both fortunate and grateful in having her picture in the yearbook as a permanent re- minder of her stimulating personality and friendly smile. May God grant a perfect rest beneath the shelter of his divine presence to the soul of Rhoda Shaponik. 62 Lert To RIGHT: THE CLASS OF “55” There have been many opportunities since the class of “55” arrived at Classi- cal to support different class and school activities. In all these instances the Class of “55” has gathered its streneth and made every activity a success. This com- mon pooling of interests has proved to the school and all concerned that the class of 1955 is not composed of a group of indi- vidualists but is a well organized team. The success of the Junior Prom this year cleared all doubts as to the capability and working power of this class. Life ahead can be likened only to a long road upon which each pupil will make his way among the multitude but will always stand alone when it comes to exhibiting his in- terpretation of Character, Honor, and Scholarship, as these ideals are expertly presented to him during his stay at Clas- sical. The class of 1955 is endeavoring to perform in conformity with these ideals. £0 SSb rt Ey ee ck 7 ; JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Ler’ To RIGHT: Lois Perrone, Secretary; Jane Clifton, Vice-President; Peter Carando, President; Barbara Perry, Treasurer; and Vivian Haber, Member-at-- large. 64 JUNIOR CLASS ADVISERS Miss Helen Flanagan, Dr. James McGuire, and Miss Dorothy Porter.

THE CLASS OF 1956 The Class of °56 has had a very eventful year. During the earlier months of the school year, “Freshie Day” and a dance were held in our honor, As school continued, our class officers who soon organized a Constituiion, Class Ring, Banner, and Dance committee were elected. The Constitution was completed and a class meeting was held to vote on it and also to select the colors for the class banner. After many a meeting, the Dance com- Seat Ledowitz, Gordon president; Harvey Mazer, vice-president; and Judith Diamond, member-at-large. Lert To RiIcHT: mittee decided on having a “March Madness Dance” which was sponsored by the Freshmen Class. Members of 1956 participated in various school activities. Freshmen were featured in the “Carou- sel” and many of the class of 1956 achieved athletic awards and scholastic honors. We are all looking forward to two more success- ful years at Classical High.

At the same time, it has tried to live up to the former standards of the Recorder and the traditions of Classical High. Through accurate news reports, intelligent editorials, lively feature articles, and complete sports stories, the staff has hoped to bring the students a true picture of life at Classical. The Recorder was written by graduates of a journalism class, who gave their own time as a school service. Each member of the staff had a special job to do, and it was only with the full cooperation of every worker that the issues con- tinued to improve as the year went by. In the early spring the paper held its annual Short Story Contest, publishing the winning story. Later in the year, Recorder members attended con- ventions of the Western Massachusetts League of School Publications, in Amherst, and delegates were sent to the annual convention of the Columbia Scholastic Publications Association, in New York. The staff very much appreciates the help and guidance of Dr. James B. McGuire, new editorial adviser to the Recorder and the background and training given to them when they studied journal- ism with Dr, Aileen O'Grady.

You see, | have the misfortune to be Room 122, home room of the Classical yearbook staff. The symptoms of this disease are acute and varied, this year consisting of anything from catching the faculty adviser, Miss Boylan, off guard with a blaze of flash bulbs as she entered my darkened interior, to changing the drawers of one desk for another, an act carefully calculated to drive my occupants mad. But these are only occasional vio- lent attacks; the sickness usually takes the form of a steady murmur of such terms as “galley and “bleed- proofs,” “pix,” “copy,” “cropping,” ing,” accompanied by an outburst, every once in a while, of “You mean he didn’t send his proofs back to the photographer!” or “Now I'll have to do the whole signature over again!” Despite the seeming chaos, the work seems to be getting done. I heard with the ears, which all walls are reputed to have, that the book was com- pleted with a minimum of delay and mistakes, because, although the individualism of the siaff made it appear disorganized, there was a spirit of co-operation and camaraderie, which made it pos- sible to complete the task with great dispatch. Well, the book is out, and the greatest part of my disorder is cured. I am being lulled into a stupor by the relative inactivity of my occupants, and my much deserved rest is drawing near; so, until next term, farewell.

THE BAND “There’s something about a hometown band,” says the song, and all Classical students agree that there’s something about our own band that is very pleasing to the ear. The band has “sent the air reverberating” with martial music at the many pep rallies during the year and has lent inspiration to our athletic teams at their games, Band Leader French Horn Clarinet Doris Grimes Daniel Palant Fred Anderson Tenner Fred Mazer Conrad- Wiezbicki ore Robert Merhar Saxophone Gail Peters Flute Edward Abert Stephen Shelasky Virginia Douglass Robert Lieberman Trombone Barry MacAlpine Tuba Quentin Faulkner Robert Severance Keith Bradley 86 ORCHESTRA SEATED, LEFT TO RIGHT: Anne Wood, Barbara Aronson, Maria Dakis, Louise Kennison, Irene Levinson, Pearl Radding, Sylvia Levinson, Betty Jean Daniels, Carol Daniels, Virginia Douglass, Siv Soderstrom, Linda Steinberg, Marcia Phillips, Daniel Palent, Lewis Heafitz, Barbara Karp, Nan Zimmerman, Jane Carleton, Beverly Miller, Ann Zimmerman, Carol Zimmerman.

THE A-CAPPELLA CHOIR The A-Cappella Choir is a dream come true for Classical’s Musical Director, Mr. Warren Amerman. It is a large group composed of upper classmen. This choir forms the nucleus of the annual concerts presented by the Music Department, and has done an excellent job of singing alone as a group.

THE MALE CHORUS A fine blending of male voices was Mr. Amerman’s object when he organized the Male Chorus. Its members will agree that Mr. Amerman has succeeded. Membership in this group is without audition and open to all boys in the school. Besides their singing of standard music for male voices, the boys can join with the other choral groups to form a large mixed chorus for the annual concerts.

THE FRESHMAN GIRLS’ CHORALE The Freshman Girls’ Chorale is another of Mr. Amerman’s innovations. Mem- bers of this group are introduced to a more concentrated program of music, which gives them a knowledge and enjoyment of music at the same time. Most of the girls continue in the other singing groups in their junior and senior years.

Pinafore” to, full houses for three nights on May 14, 15, 16, 1953. From the opening number, where the sailors of the H.M.S. Pinafore were seen at work attending to various duties, to the denouement in which the complications of the plot were untangled, the words and music of Gilbert and Sullivan were given professional treatment by the students. Especially outstanding performances were given by Gracemarie Dunn, whose beauti- ful voice brought charm to the part of Josephine; John Blair, who stopped the show with his riotous portrayal of the pompous Sir Joseph Porter; Bill Kelly, who gave a polished performance as the lovelorn Ralph Rackstraw; Barbara Ko- gan, who captivated the audience with her portrayal of Little Buttercup; Robert Laird, who played the part of the bewil- dered Captain Corcoran to the hilt; Brad Baker as the treacherous Dick Deadeye: Frances Moody as coy Cousin Hebe; and Ralph Bowers as the genial Boatswain. The alternate leads were Don Bradley, who played the parts of the Boatswain's Mate, and Dick Deadeye; Harrison Dolan as the Carpenter; and Peter Carando as Ralph Rackstraw. The stage chorus was composed of the following: Sopranos, Brenda Nelson, June Barrat, Faith Ginsberg, Gail Canegallo, Barbara Bradway, Diane Leshure, Caro- line Czaja, Ann Woodmansee, Patricia O’Brian, Alice Ross, Elizabeth Merkle: Altos, Carole Buchanan, Gloria Kablot- sky, Jeanne Connelly, Mary Louise Com- ins, Lois Calabrese.

THE MADRIGAL SINGERS The goal of all singers who enter Classical is to become a mem- ber of the Madrigal Singers. This small group of picked voices is probably the finest of its kind in the city. However, a good singing voice alone is not sufficient for membership in the Madrigals. A student must also have a good technical knowledge of music. The Madrigal Singers have provided many inspiring musical moments for those who have heard them sing at Classical or at one of their numerous out of school engagements. 95 PIERIDES First Row, Lert To riGHT: Lee Pieper, Caroline Skinner, Marian Berkover, Brenda Danet, Judith Hirschhorn.

PIERIDES Pierides. as defined by Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary, means the Muses who were in Greek mythology goddesses of song, poetry, the arts, and the sciences. Today, in Classical High School, Pierides has come to mean a literary club consist- ing of junior and senior girls who, although they are not the Muses, meet to discuss poetry, litera- ture, art, and music. This year, Pierides has presented several out- standing programs under the guidance of our ad- viser, Dr. Aileen O’Grady and the officers of the club: Brenda Danet, president; Judith Hirschhorn, vice-president and program chairman; and Marian Berkover, secretary-treasurer. Together with the Senate, we presented an assembly on the United Nations, gave a Halloween party and held our annual Philips Prize Speaking contest. Winners of the Philips Prize Speaking contest.

SENATE Every other Wednesday at 3:50, a group of boys begins to assemble in room 225, After a short period of general noise and confusion, the bimonth- ly meeting of the Classical High School Senate is called to order by the president, Ralph Bowers. This meeting, like the others, will be devoted to a formal debate or an informal discussion on a topic of current national, international, or even local interest. The Senate provides the boys of Classical High with an opportunity to acquaint themselves with rudiments of public speaking, debating, and parliamentary procedure. The boys have an oppor- tunity to practice these fundamentals, not only at regular meetings, but also at the A.I.C. Model Con- gress which is held each year. For those especially 97 interested in debating, the Senate sponsors the an- nual Senate Tablet Debate. chosen by a group of teachers to compete in a Four Senators are formal debate before the student body. The winner of this debate has his name inscribed on a marble tablet, to be preserved for posterity. The slate of officers of the Senate for the first half year was as follows: President, Ralph Bowers; Vice-President, Lewis Heafitz; Secretary, Charles Lynch; Sergeant-at-Arms, John Glover. For the second half year the officers were as follows: Presi- dent, Ralph Bowers; Vice-President, John Glover; Secretary, Ruark; Julian Freedman.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT Student Government is composed of elected representatives of each class, one representative for every fifty members. The purpose of this organiza- tion is to “Promote the general welfare of Classical High School and to maintain its spirit and high standing.” The many projects of Student Government in- clude a freshmen orientation booklet, to be dis- tributed free of charge to incoming freshmen. The Student of the Month project, which originated in Student Government, a tape recorder to be sent to our affiliated school in Le Havre, France, manage- 98 ment of the school store, maintenance of the Honor Roll Society and sponsorship of the Carousel. Officers for the first half of the year included Richard Franck, President, Mike Trencher, Vice- President, and Toby Ackerman, Secretary. For the second half Charles Lynch, President, Toby Acker- man, Vice-President, and Caroline Skinner, Secre- tary. Under the leadership of Mr. Lynch, Student Government has once more proved its great value to the school. STUDENT TREASURY SEATED FRONT: Karol Greenblatt, Barbara Karp, Rhoda Fisher.

STUDENT TREASURY The student treasury is one of the most important organizations in Classical High School. Although it has many advantages, the outstanding ones are free admission for the seniors to the senior prom and banquet and a reduced rate to all sports and school activ- ities. This organization is presided over by the student government and has many agents who have done a fine job in securing a high percentage of members. 99 Peter Fosdick, accordion player, waits for the makeup artist. Cliff Jackson relaxes as usual. 100 CAROUSEL “We're From Texas,” the fourth annual Carousel directed this year by Miss Christine Sauer of the faculty, brought to the fore the talents of over one hundred Classical students in a production complete with typical Western characters, among them a hero and heroine, a sheriff, and a villain. Over fifty songs and dances round- ed out the western theme. Among the settings used were a dude ranch, a general store, a patio, a range scene, a Mexican cantina, a jail, and a fiesta. Just as in last year’s Alpine Holiday, script ideas were suggested by a student committee, song and dance numbers were built about the student’s plot, and program, poster and set de- signs were integrated. Leading roles were sung by Brad Baker, Peter Carando, Barbara Dahl and Heide Dolan while Ralph Bowers and James Cole offered a number of fine solos. Leading dances were created and _ per- formed by Nancy Heyman and Mimi Jacobs, both mem- bers of the freshman class. These same girls also planned the clever chorus line numbers by the cowgirls and the University of Texas boys. Barbara Perry and her helpers designed and executed gay cowgirl costumes and felt skirts for the University of Texas girls’ chorus, and the girls in the square dance numbers made their own costumes. This year Sally Anne Posnick was again the leading accompanist while Carol Doneilo, Anne Stachowicz, and Alan Gruskin also assisted. Sixteen students presented outstanding numbers on a half hour television program, and forty-six students per- formed for a large group of sick veterans at Westover. Both of these were most valuable experiences, and the Carouselers found their work much appreciated. Mention must be made of the fine work of Bruce Nichols and Richard Young, also freshmen, as “Tim” and “Peanut,” and of Caryl Hazen and Dino Carando, our young guest actors who played the parts of “Kathy” and the little Mexican boy. Colorful scenery, posters and mobiles were construct- ed by the art department under the direction of Miss Doris MacKenzie while Mr. Howard Lynch’s able stage crew took care of the numerous backstage problems which such a large production entailed. Highlights of “We’re From Texas” which will not soon be forgotten included: “Comin’ and A Courtin’ Corabelle” with Marcia Hamilton and Bill Russell, “To Be Alone” with James Cole and the “Kings of Harmony,” Barbara Dahl singing “My Secret Love,” “South of the Border” by the Harmony Girls trio (all freshmen), Ralph Bowers in “They Call the Wind Maria,” Beverly Delworth singing “Summertime,” Mimi Jacob’s dancing to “Surrey With the Fringe on the Top,” Brad Baker in “That's Amore,” Heide Dolan in “No Help Wanted,” Leigh Wilson looks happier than our villain, Percy Sudsbury. the square dancers’ “Jitterbug Swing,’ Myrna Rosenthal and Don Bradley’s duet from “Porgy and Bess,” “Some- thing Within Me” and “Down by the Riverside” by the “Kings of Harmony,” “Grenada” by Peter Carando, Cliff Jackson’s bop, Nancy Heyman’s dancing to “Somebody Loves Me,” and the cowboy songs on the range. Heide Dolan did a four-man job of acting the perfect sheriff, The junior class president, Peter Carando, in fiesta mood. singing three solos, harmonizing with the quintet, and accompanying many numbers on the guitar. Students who took part in Carousel well merited the many compliments which they received from successive audiences and were happy to know that their efforts had brought pleasure to many.

One duty that the girls have is counter-signing passes and keeping order in the girls’ powder room. They also have a station at the Information Desk in the front hall during homeroom periods. These are only a few of the duties performed by the members of the patrol. Girls’ Patrol helps the music department by ushering for programs sponsored by this depart- ment. They also assist in the room visitation pro- gram sponsored by the P.T.S.A. - 104 This year Girls’ Patrol helped in the giving of speech tests, which were given to each Classical student. In order to be elected into Girls’ Patrol, a girl must be reliable, trustworthy, and honorable. She must have a good scholastic record, and must be able to give time to perform duties expected of her. A candidate for Girls’ Patrol must be recommended by all her teachers, and must be voted in by the present members of the patrol. The adviser of the Girls’ Patrol is Miss Lewis. BOYS’ PATROL When this organization was formed back in 1924, it was made up of both boys and girls. but the girls later formed their own organization each having the same function of keeping order in the school. Some of its daily jobs are directing traffic on the stairways between periods, watching for smok- ers in the junior and senior high basements during the periods, taking key duty outside of 113 during class, supervising the cleaning up of the lunch room by the students at lunch time, and running errands for the office when it is necessary. There are also a few special jobs that the patrol has to do every year: they usher at graduation, the Chrismtas concert, P.T.S.A. affairs, and school basketball games. Four patrol boys — Morris Grant, Fred Loescher, Dave Klein, and John Sanderson, run the sound equipment for our assemblies; two members, Lewis Heafitz and Martin Kaufman perform key duty be- fore and after school. The patrol is made up of the “cream of the crop” of the school because C. H. S., character, honor, Martin Kaufman on Patrol and scholarship is displayed by all the boys in their attitudes and performance of the jobs given them. The members of the patrol were very sorry to lose a good adviser like Mr. Ressler; but in return we received as our new adviser Dr. Joseph Romita, who has always been ready, willing and able to help us.

Through lectures given at the bi-monthly meetings by guest speakers, includ- ing world travelers, foreign students, and distin- guished members of the community, the objects of the I.R.C. are carried out. Many times the speakers accompany their lectures with beautiful slides or displays of interesting souvenirs. The speakers dur- ing the year have spoken about many parts of the world — Mexico, England, Spain, Greece, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and Japan. To gain even greater knowledge and understanding of world relations, 106 I.R.C. sponsored a trip to the United Nations in New York City on October 12. This year for the first time I.R.C. has sponsored an assembly. The very interesting speaker, Mrs. Maleka Brown, a native of Hawaii, gave an in- formative talk on “Cultural Hawaii.” I.R.C. holds a membership in the Adult Educa- tion Forum and is the only youth organization in the city in it. 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 adviser, deserves a great deal of credit for the success of the 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.

This was sent to a dis- aster area in a foreign country. As usual, the art classes made decorations for Leeds hospital. A constitution for the organization was composed and approved by all members.

A variety of philatelic speakers attended the meetings and discussed such topics as industry in stamps, covers of Germany, Univeral Postal Unions’ presentation of booklets, and coun- terfeit stamps. Trading and auctioning of stamps was another feature which members enjoyed.

The club is open to all students of the freshmen, juniors, and senior classes for the purpose of creating a greater interest in science. It affords great opportunities for the students to hear outstanding speakers and, in some cases, to render reports themselves. This year the club has taken a series of trips to the neighboring plants and factories to study the scientific operations of the product manufactured. Such activities have included tours of Chapman Valve, Mallory’s, and the Package Machinery. 109 THE, PST-SA. Lerr to ricHT: Mrs. Fritz Maier, Mrs. Vernon Bradley, Mrs. H.

A. has been twofold this year. First, its purpose has been to aid the stu- dents in their various activities, specifically, in raising funds to buy new basketball uniforms for the cheerleaders; and second, to bring about more adequate legislation in regard to sexual deviates. Its first objective has already been accomplished by several fund-raising activities, such as the rummage sale, October 29, and the card party, March 8. This organization also strengthens the bond between parent and school by sponsoring such affairs as Open House Night, September 29, giving the parents a chance to meet their children’s teachers and learn of the aims and accomplish- ments of the courses; College Conferences, October 13 and 14, allowing Dr. Chatto and the counselors to speak with the parents about college entrance requirements, tuition, courses, and many other as- pects of college life; panel discussion, February 17, relating to topics of teen-age interest; and Family Supper and Activities Night, April 7, per- 110 mitting interested ninth-graders and their families to learn about the great variety of school activities. The second aim of the P. T. S. A. has been an attempt to institute stronger measures in the pun- ishment of sex offenders by replacing the present For this purpose a meeting was held, November 19, when antiquated laws with new legislation. it was emphasized that the P. T. A.’s are a power- ful group, and able to exert great influence for good. Mrs. Stanley Nye of the State P. T. A. spoke, and explained the means by which the State Legis- lature is petitioned. A representative of Police Chief Raymond Gallagher explained the attitude of the police department to this question, and the Director of the Springfield Child Guidance Clinic explained how to instruct and warn children of this menace. Because of the free exchange of ideas, advice and help between parents, teachers, and students, the P. T. S. A. has become an integral part of school. Parents’ Night in the fall is sponsored by the P. T. S. A. Miss Irene Horrigan greets Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Pannier parents of Joan Pannier.

The Girls’ Athletic Association is one of the largest clubs in our school, made up of girls who have taken a constructive interest in girls’ sports. To become a member, a girl must come out at least ten times for after school activities. If she earns thirty points in her freshman year, she receives her “C”. In her junior year if she has again earned thirty points, she is given her class numerals. The highest award in G. A. A. is the honor pin presented to senior girls who have gained thirty points in each of the three years and are not failing in a subject. Aside from the after school sports, under the supervision of Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. Andrewes, the G. A. A. sponsors a great many other school activities. It took charge of “Freshie Day” this year when the freshmen had a hilarious time being “initiated” into our school. It sponsored a Basketball Tournament in which Classical, Technical, Commerce, Trade, and MacDufle played, and Classical emerged as victor. The 128 G. A. A. was responsible for the Fourth Annual Harvest Hop held in the Boys’ Gym to the music of the Injun-Aires from Springfield College. The annual G. A.

SOFTBALL The Softball Season found the Classigals at the head of their league. At the Play Day at Trade, our teams defeated all opponents. The teams, coached by Mrs. Taylor, met on Monday and Wednesday afternoons at the Armory to practice for this important contest. The team play they learned in those sessions paid off in rich results, as they became the city champions. 130 Hit a homer! ay Ss eh psaee = i Ss we a vay ta ane —_ tre sib itere: Se Back Row, LEFT TO RIGHT: ley, Manager Kenneth Burr.

Throughout their rugged schedule, which included state champion Holyoke, the Bulldogs made up in spirit much of what they lacked in polish. Classical consistently displayed a good batting attack, and most of the games were high-scoring affairs. Starring for Classical both at bat and in the field were George Burley, Fred Hinckley, Carl Scheer, Bill Russell, and Stu Cowles. Lefty Bill Bazos was the number one pitcher, with some effective hurling done also by Fred Glancey, Burley, and Scheer. The latter two are returning this year, as is Russell and provided some defensive strength is added to a team which promises to be very potent at the plate, prospects look bright. 132 a April 21 April 23 May May May May May May May May 4 11 14 1g) 21 29 28 He, HE’S OUT!

GOLF 1953 Despite the loss of four lettermen through grad- uation in 1952, Classical’s 1953 golf team com- pleted a highly successful season. They sported a record of twelve wins and four losses including two wins each over Holyoke Catholic, Chicopee. Cathedral, Ludlow, and West Springfield with two losses to Tech and one loss each to Pittsfield and Mount Hermon sprinkled in. The team was led by undefeated captain Don McGregor, Willis Brooks, and Tony Megliola. After completing the regular season the linksmen placed a respectable third in the Western Massachusetts Golf Tournament be- hind Tech and St. John’s of Worcester.

However, the Classical netsters managed to complete a successful, though somewhat short- ened, campaign. After losing a close match to Holyoke, the team went on to record wins over several local schools including Westfield and Tech.

FOOTBALL 1953 After a three year trial in Class A, the Classical fo otball team will return to Class B. This last season told the story. Although they fought with all they had, it wasn’t enough in face of the stiff competition of Class A teams. The season ended with a record of no victories and seven defeats against the best teams of Western Massachusetts. However, the scrappiness and spirit of the players made most of the games close until they were worn down by their more powerful opponents. Coach Henry Batt did all he could but was continually faced with a material shortage. In the first game against Cathedral, the team played extremely well, but Cathedral ground out a 28-0 victory. Several players were injured includ- ing Clement who was put out of action for the rest of the season. Consequently the team was seri- ously weakened for their next opponent, Dalton. In this game several times Classical drove deep down into Dalton territory only to fumble. Mean- while, Dalton made good on their one scoring op- portunity and came out on top 6-0. Against Trade the next week reserves told the story as Trade pulled out a 19-6 victory. In their next game 136 against Drury, the Berkshire Champs, Classical held their own for three periods, but Drury even- tually overpowered them 33-7. In the following two weeks, Classical was swamped by the superior teams of Northampton and Chicopee by the scores of 54-6 and 47-7. In the Chicopee game the best run of the season for Classical was made by Fisk when he returned a kickoff for a touchdown out- running the entire Chicopee team. In the last game of the season our arch rival, Tech, handed Classical a 21-0 setback in a bitterly fought struggle. The season showed decisively that scrap alone can not win football games, and that with the present material Classical would do much better in Class B competition. Even with this poor showing several of the boys made all-city. Lang’s superb line play earned him a berth on the first team all-city, while the fine performances of Sheehan, Skroback, and Russell gave them positions on the second team. Other starters who missed all-city were Fisk, Boardway, Klein, Fisk and Sheehan were elected co-captains for next year. Bridgman, and Charkoudian. Boardway hands off to Scheer. Time out!

SOCCER 1953 They did it again! Yes, for the fourth consecu- tive year the Classical soccer team swept all opposition aside and easily won the city title. So brilliant was this team that only Monson in an upset victory marred its record during the regular season. In eight games in city competition they suffered no defeats and had only one goal scored against them. In return they scored 28 goals against the other city teams in winning all 8 of their games. Coach Don Vaughn deserves much credit for again molding a winning soccer team. This brilliant record naturally earned the team a berth in the Western Massachusetts Tournament and a chance to win the Championship for Western Massachusetts for the second consecutive year. But they were to be denied in their attempt by a fine Ludlow team in their first game. At the end of two overtime periods Classical and Ludlow were ofh- cially tied 1-1. Fred Loescher was credited with Classical’s lone goal as the team outplayed Ludlow all the way. Then in order to determine who should go on in the tournament, each team had five free kicks at the opponent’s goal. Ludlow made good on their first three kicks while Classical missed al] five of theirs. Ludlow went on to win the tourna- ment, and Classical was stopped from winning the championship two years in a row. But with a strong squad returning, Classical will be right up at the top in next year’s competition. Six of the eleven starting men on this fine team made all-city. The great line play of Hellwig, Weidenmeyer, Munson, and Atkins earned them positions on this team. Kaufman’s ability to break up the plays of the opponents gave him a berth as fullback, while Dolan’s outstanding record of nine shutouts in twelve games earned him the goalie’s position. Other standouts on the Classical team were Loescher, Mazer, Fisk, Wilson, and Yarring- ton. Although these boys didn’t make all-city, they did a highly commendable job throughout the season on this outstanding team.

BASKETBALL 1953-54 The 1953-54 Classical basketball team finished the season with a record of five wins and twelve losses. The principal reason for this rather poor showing was of Coach Vaughn’s charges to score consistently, either from the foul line or from the floor, during the first half of the season. The Bulldogs displayed good defense and ball-handling throughout the campaign, but did the failure not hit their scoring stride until after mid-season, when, having up to then compiled a record of one and seven, they defeated Commerce 59-55, lost to tournament-bound Trade by one point, 46-45, beat West Springfield for the second time, 58-49, and atoned for an earlier loss to Tech by subduing the Tigers 67-54. The Classical hoopsters proved be- yond a doubt that they were a group to be reck- oned with when they gave city champion Cathedral 8-50, and then ran up their largest point total of the year as they de- feated Holyoke Catholic 81-79 in the next-to-last game of the schedule. a good battle before bowing The Classical quintet was sparked by Carl Scheer, Freddy Loescher, Dave Klein, and Jack Norton, all seniors; junior Heidi Dolan. and fresh- 140 man Leroy Best. Next year the team will probably be built around Dolan and Best, plus such Junior Varsity standouts as Steve Kinsman and Bruce Rosenberg. If the Bulldogs can play both halves of next season as well as they played the last half of this one, the future appears to hold promise.

Hockey League behind power- ful Cathedral, West Springfield and Tech. The tie came at the hands of West Springfield and was the first time in four years that West Springfield has been either tied or defeated. The team was prob- ably at its best in the record game with Trade when it wolloped the Beavers 8-1. George Burley who led the league in goals and set a new record for most consecutive goals scored, when he flipped six straight past the Holyoke goalie, was the most out- standing player on the team followed closely by Rod Fisk and Don Hall. Others seeing much action were Russell, Sandquist, Whittier, Munsel, Tarrent, Leven, and Dick Fisk. With many of these letter- men returning next year, Classical will be shooting for top spot in the league and a chance to partici- pate in the State Hockey Tourney in Boston.

The Bulldogs lost their first three meets through inexperience, but then with fifteen newcomers im- proving steadily, the team bounced back to win twice over Holyoke and to lose a thriller to Tech in the last race when the Classical medley relay team lost to the Tigers by one inch. This surge by the team continued right into the State Champion- ships where they grabbed fifteen points to take fourth place. Marty Kaufman placed second in the 200-yard free style and the 150 yard individual medley, and Bob Severance took a second place in the 100 yard free style. The Bulldog relay team of “Skeets” Lang, Brad Baker, Fred Mazer, and Joel Saks, also took a second place. Other high scorers for the season were Fred Mazer, Dave Sack, Joel Saks, Les Stoessl, and Dick Young.

CLASSICALITES VISIT DEERFIELD On Monday, March 1, 1954, five members of the Classical Student Government Association took a trip to Deerfield High School as part of a state wide exchange program. The purpose of this pro- gram is to give high school students in large cities an opportunity to see small town life, and especially to watch a New England town meeting, and to give the students in small towns a chance to see a City Council Meeting and all the facets of city life. Students who participated in this program in- cluded seniors, Jack Norton and Charlie Lynch; and freshmen, Jocelyn Keuhn, Janet McIntosh, and Wayne Lynch, under the guidance of faculty adviser H. Howard Lynch. The group arrived at Deerfield High at nine o’clock in the morning and was greeted by Mr. Allen R. Keniston, faculty adviser to Deerfield High School Student Council. They proceeded to the Town Hall and saw true democracy DEERFIELD COMES On Monday, March 15, 1954, five students from Deerfield High School, including Marsella Shum- way, Grace McMillen, Nancy Morrissey, John Par- ker and Francis Rodorick, and Mr. Keniston came to Classical. The group arrived at two o’clock and an informal meeting of Student Government was held in which an exchange of questions and answers took place. The group was taken on a tour of scenic Springfield and they were the guests of honor at the home of Mr. and Mrs. McIntosh. After being intro- duced to the mayor and the president of the City 150 in action. Many of the group had never seen a town meeting before, and the experience proved a real treat. After the meeting, they were treated to a fine meal, prepared by the Deerfield High School Home Economics department. After luncheon, the group was escorted around Deerfield High School. Despite the fact there are only one hundred and sixty-five students in the entire school, there are departments for shop work, agriculture, secre- tarial work and college preparation — all equipped with modern equipment. The members of the group were the guests of honor at an assembly, where Charles Lynch spoke to the Deerfield group. The Classical group then enjoyed a guided tour through Old Deerfield, including a trip through a colonial museum, featuring relics of colonial times. To close the long and eventful day, the Classicalites were the guests of honor at a dinner given by the South Deerfield Rotary Club. TO CLASSICAL Council, the group attended the council meeting. At the end of the Council meeting, the two groups parted company, each having profited greatly from this exchange of visits. (The yearbook pages had been set up and sent to the printer before the foregoing incident took place. Since this incident demonstrates democracy in action, and since it also emphasizes the theme of this yearbook, it seems fitting that an account of such activity should be herewith included.)

SPRINGFIELD FIRE AND MARINE INSURANCE COMPANY Springfield, Massachusetts FIELD, EDDY BULKLEY Local Agents WAYS TO LOSE LIBERTY ‘ . . a people may prefer a free government; but if, from indolence, or cowardice, or want of public spirit, they are unequal to the exertions necessary for preserving it; if they will not fight for it when it is directly attacked; if they can be deluded by the artifices used to cheat them out of it; if by momentary discouragement, or temporary panic, or a fit of enthusiasm for an individual, they can be induced to lay their liberties at the feet even of a great man, or trust him with powers which enable him to subvert their institutions — in all these cases they are more or less unfit for liberty; and though it may be for their good to have had it even for a short time, they are unlikely long to enjoy it.” — John Stuart Mill 159 The staff and advisers of the Blue and White appreciate the generosity of the advertisers in our yearbook. We hope our readers will patronize these advertisers who have helped financially to make our yearbook a success. THE AMERICAN’S CREED I believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect Union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, and humanity for which equality, justice, American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws; to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies. — William Tyler Page Ruth Ekberg Vocal Studio — 62 Harrison Ave. — Congratulations to the Graduating Class Fairbanks Auto School — Oldest in New England — 20 Dwight Street Compliments of Fashion Art School — 1694 Main Street Harris Medical Center Pharmacy — 139 Chestnut Street — Prescription Specialists Compliments of Hegy’s Inc. — Master Cleaners and Dyers for 75 years MacKenzie Tool Engineering Co. — 88 Andrew Street M.
