In this humble way we wish to express our gratefulness for the sacrifices, faith, and understanding so essential in providing and maintaining the vocational training opportunities it has been our privilege to enjoy. You have provided reasonably good training equipment, and have been liberal with supplies. Through a bequest in memory of Robert H. Cole, we have had the use of a fine building. You have provided us with the best instructional staff and educational leadership. The policies and practices you have established and authorized to be carried out, have all contributed to the making of a school of which we are proud to be a part. We now sense the importance of organized school influence in promoting self discipline, loyalty, and personal expression, while working and living with others who also seek peace, happiness, security, and freedom. You have accepted and adjusted previous graduates of this school in a commendable manner. Your industries have employed them with ex- treme regularity and high wages. They are buying their homes, raising their families, and enjoying the modern conveniences this country is able to produce. We have faith not only in the educational system you have freely provided, but also trust in your desire to adjust us in society, where- by We may make the most of our training. We are now anxious to give of ourselves and join you soon to lend our support to the training of youth succeeding us in this wonderful school. CLASS OF 1949 Ronald Aucoin, President -2- 1949 - HILLTOPPER - 1949 OUR DIRECTOR CLARK HIBBARD MORRELL TO THE GRADUATES OF 1949 The Class of 1949 has contributed much to the growth and influence of this school. The material products have been most outstanding in craftsmanship. The leadership of its members in the student council and athletic associations has effected excellent con- trol of these bodies. And of great help to the faculty and me has been the exceptionally fine influence of the veterans in stimulating and guiding the general behavior of the student body. I extend my thanks for your ever-ready co-operation with me in furthering the wel- fare of your school. You have made lasting contributions with a spirit which, consist- ently exercised in the future, w-ill prove fruitful to you. Society needs the service you are well trained to render, in order to maintain its cultural and economic stability. I take pride in having contributed to the preparation of a group of young men so certain of a happy future. Sincerely yours, CLARK H. MORRELL, Director - 3 - I949 - HILLTOPPER - 1949 TO THE CLASS OF 1949, COLE TRADE HIGH SCHOOL As another school year draws to a close you are reaching a significant milestone in your lives. You have acquired the right to cross the threshold of the classroom into the present world of industry to take your respective places: you have prepared yourselves to meet the challenge of that present day world: you have made yourselves ready for useful employment in your community. The training you have received through the unseliish eifort of your every instructor was designed to make you an efficient member of your community, to cause you to contribute a larger share to the com- mon good. That training has given you the necessary confidence and will to play a bigger and better part in your family, as well as in your community life. The man who knows what to do, how to do it, and why it should be done that way, is a competent and contented workman. Your training has also comprised learning how to form good habits and understanding the value of good habits with relation to your job. You have recognized the necessity for developing the proper atti- tudes and the proper habits that will make you dependable individuals in society, that will lead you to desired success. The present-day world is a complex world and an exacting oneg continue to perfect yourselves in your chosen fields of endeavor so that you will always keep ready to adapt yourselves as your working conditions keep changing. But as the complexity of our modern civilization increases, do entertain the contacts you have made in school: it is a way of entertaining human relations, and in so doing you will have gone far toward making your life a happy life.

I949 - HILLTOPPER - 1949 CLASS This year's graduating class is evenly divided between World War II veterans and younger men who have spent four years at the school. In the past two years we have had a preponderance of veterans. However, as time moves on, we expect veteran grad- uates to be fewer in number. The presence of these veterans was very noticeable in all activities at the school. We had many natural leaders in the group who were willing to extend themselves unself- ishly in time and effort to make this a bet- ter school. They were willing to offer the younger men constructive thought and counsel. An outstanding example of their ini- tiative and co-operation was shown at the time of electing a man to Good Govern- ment Day. Wisely they helped to select a capable student and then proceeded to solidly back him. The occasion was far more important than the desired end. What it did do was to solidify and vitalize the group consciousness of the entire stu- dent body. This group of men have felt the pinch of the present mild recession. Part-time work became scarce. Consequently, their financial resources dropped, which meant that the desired goal was more difficult to attain. The will to remain in school was a wise choice. Jobs today are not plentiful. Those who get them must have more to offer than a strong back and a will to work. They must also have trained minds and skilled hands. These men know what the demands of in- dustry are today. We know that they are GF '49 ready. Perhaps they have sacrificed in momentary financial gain. On the other hand, they have received the solid founda- tion upon which skilled craftsmanship rests. The non-veteran group is composed of younger men who likewise have evinced a steadfastness of purpose. During their four years at the school they saw many young men leave the institution with their train- ing incompleted. However, they listened to the instructors and veterans who sagely advised them to complete the task. This they wisely did. Included in the latter group are several young men who have achieved recognition in the field of sports. They were the main- stays of the school athletic teams for four solid years. They have built up its athletic reputation and also inspired youngsters entering the lower grades. Looking over the graduates we find that almost half of them have chosen machine shop practice. The drafting group is con- siderably smaller than last year's record number. We have five electricians gradu- ating in this class which is three more than last year. The group from the wood shop is smaller with only three graduates. For the remainder we have three from sheet metal and one from the paint shops. This class has profited from the school. Conversely the school has been enriched by the presence of this group of men who have contributed to its betterment. By their presence, by their actions, by their spirit of true fellowship, they have set a high standard for future classes to emulate. -15.- 1949 - HILLTOPPER - 1949 C-OOD GOVERNMENT DAY SENATOR Ralph Girouard, a member of the graduating class, achieved the unique distinction of gaining this district's senatorial seat on Good Government Day. This was no small feat, particularly when we consider the fact that our school has not the largest enroll- ment in the district. His election was made possible by several factors. The candidate himself was ag- gressive. He knew that his only chance to win was by gaining the support of other small schools in the area. Wisely he conceived a coalition plan by which the small schools would unite to back a coalition can- didate. The schools in the plan would all eventually have a Winning candidate from their respective in- stitutions. The plan was fairg the plan was demo- cratic. Ralph had the united support of our student body. His campaign managers were alert. Ronnie RALPH GIROUARD Aucoin, Paul Snyder, Ray Lemire, Sam Alger, Paul Parenteau, John Lipski, Ed Stalec and Joe Theodoss may be singled out as important aides in his successful campaign. The undergraduates gave their loyal support. They backed a man who they knew would bring credit to the school. Ralph toured the district and addressed the various student bodies in the plan. His sincerity and sound arguments won their support. On April 8th, Ralph went to the State House in Boston to sit in the Senate. He was selected as Senate Committee Chairman. The newspapers carried pictures and stories about him. From our observations and understanding of his aggressive nature we know that Ralph was an active participant in the affairs of the day. We are proud of Ralph for the splendid manner in which he acted before the pub- lic eye. He brought new recognition to the school. We are thankful to Mr. Morrell, the faculty, the entire student body, as well as the member schools in the plan, for their generous support in his behalf. 116.- I949 - HILLTOPPER - I949 CLASS PROPHECY The year is 1974. The occasion is the twenty-fifth class reunion of the class of '49 of the old Cole Trade High School. Our old Alma Mater is now called Cole Techni- cal Institute. The building itself greatly differs from the old eleven room structure that existed in our time. It is now a twenty room building with a beautiful auditorium and a large modern gymna- sium. It has the same frontage, but runs deep through what was once brush and trees. Truly this is the set-up that we had often dreamed of, but had not expected to become a reality. We soon discover that all this has been made possibly by generous contributions from our fellow alumni. Guy Armstrong, now a retired gentleman farmer, was a big contributor. They tell us that his inven- tions on farm machinery have netted him s e v e r a l millions. Michael Belba has achieved pre-eminence in the world of mu- sic. He is now conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Recently he donated the proceeds of his Pop Concerts to the school building fund. Yes, our alumni have been generous. Worcester's biggest auto salvage yard is owned by Paul Boni- face. The modern auto repair department in the school can be attributed to his muni- ficence. A stately gray-haired gentleman seems to be the center of attention inside the modernistic drafting room. Around him are several rather paunchy individuals. Dale Carnegie had nothing on this smooth talker who turns out to be Henry Boucher, now City Manager. His listeners include George Butterworth, now a local Plymouth dealer, Norman Danis, well known turf au- thority and writer of the syndicated col- umn, Horse Sense g and Harry Dimetri, owner of the largest wholesale produce house in Worcester. Occasionally Harry rocks the group in laughter with one of his favorite jokes. We leave the drafting room to visit the machine shop. There we find Felix Gwodz, now coordinator of the school, talking to Mike Mangan. The latter's dapper appear- ance prompts us to ask him what he has been doing. He informs us that he is in charge of sound effects at the Walt Dis- ney Studios in Hollywood, and that an- other old classmate of ours, George Paren- teau, is a neighbor of his in the movie capital. George has been playing the heavy in a series of western pictures. A visit to the science laboratory really opens our eyes . The very latest in scientific apparatus is evident. Quietly at work in one corner of the room is Gerry Roy, now a well-known manufacturer of cosmetics. Gerry greets us in surprise. He tells us that he has a scheme for making liquid rouge and that this splendid laboratory tempted him to experiment on the idea. His present factory was built by Ken Smith and Sons, General Contractors. The electrical department is the scene for a reunion of old classmates: Al Mar- chessault, Joe Theodoss, Brun Milczewski, Leo Standrowicz, and George Renaud. A1 and Leo are now partners of a large electri- cal supply house in Worcester. Leo tells us that he has eight sons, four of whom work for him. Al counters with a snapshot of his four charming daughters. Joe Theodoss is now chairman of the State Electricians' Licensing Board. Rumor has it that Congressman Ralph Girouard prevailed upon Joe to accept the position in order to bring up trade standards. Brun Milczewski has gone far in the sporting world. After an outstanding record in -17- 1949 - HILLTOPPER - I949 the American League as short-stop with Cleveland, he then went to Holy Cross as baseball coach. He is now very stout and has a little moustache. George Renaud left the electrical trade and bought a lucrative dine and dance place in Holyoke. He tells us that Ed Car- valho did the murals for him. Ed, by the way, is doing the cover for the Saturday Evening Post. Reminiscing in the sheet metal depart- ment are Steve Mosio and Marc Arsenault, now owners of the Spectown Sheet Metal Company. Steve and Marc tell us that they have just done the air conditioning job on the Southbridge Sports Auditorium, owned and managed by Bobby Trahan. We leave the sheet metal shop and visit the gymnasium. Is this a dream! What a perfect lay-out! Basketball court, hand- ball court, exercisers, showers-can this be the same school! Who are those individuals gabbing at the far end? We walk down the floor and there we meet the Three Musketeers: Ron- nie Aucoin, Ray Lemire, and John Lipski. Ronnie tells us that Ray and he have a large printing establishment in Sturbridge employing twenty printers. Most of the State Department bulletins are printed there. John has acquired extensive real estate holdings in the Charlton Street area. That section is called Lipskiville. The boys tell us that Ralph Girouard is doing a splendid job down in Washington. The group then decide to visit the audi- torium. What a spacious hall! How differ- ent this is from Mr. Benson's old drafting room! We see a group of old grads down in front of the stage. Bill Olson, now the head- master of a technical preparatory school, Rene Trahan, the oil magnate, and Eddie Stalec, President of Webster Building Cor- poration. The boys are discussing the old card parties. A few minutes later, several other former classmates appear. Gerry Fournier, P.J. Snyder, Dick Allard, Ed Kolodziejczak, Le- lend Miller and Bob Para. Gerry has achieved national distinction as candle-pin kingg P.J. has taken over Edgar Hoover's post, Ed Kolodziejczak owns a cabinet shop in Webster, Lelend Miller and Bob Para are co-owners in the Spectown Engineering Corporation. This enjoyable reunion closses with a banquet in the school cafeteria. It was a pleasure to meet our old classmates. For- tune has been kind to them. They have achieved success in many walks of life. What pleases us mostly though, is that the same spirit of comradeship not only has remained but has also deepened. -13- 1949 - HILLTOPPER - 1949 STUDENT CCUNCII. - f 1 Front Row-Bumpus, Miller, Lemire, Theodoss, Aucoin, Mr. Braman, N.

Richard, Stalec, Muir, Mahan, Yates, Allard, N. Richard. Coach Farland called out a squad which included nine veterans plus several prom- ising new-comers. His big problem was to find new moundsmen, inasmuch as Ronnie Houle and Teddy Ziemski had graduated. However, Mike Mangan and Dick Allard showed plenty of promise last year and under our new capable baseball mentor we ex- pect good results from these two twirlers. With the addition of heavy hitting rookies, Santelli and Mahan, we should field a hard hitting nine. Brun Milczewski and Steve Waskewicz are two better than average schoolboy infielders and it might pay the big league scouts to drop over to Dresser Street Field some warm day in May. We are sure that few opposing players will attempt any base stealing after George L'HeureuX fires his jet-throws from home plate. With a coach who knows his baseball, plus a generous amount of natural ability in this year's squad, the Purple and White should have a successful season. -221 1949 - HILLTOPPER - 1949 CLASS WILL We, the graduating class of 1949 of Cole Trade High School, do declare this to be our last will and testament.
