High Street f1880'sj Settlement of Area In the England of the early 1600's religious toleration was scarce. Many peoples had to emigrate from England to America to establish communities free of religious struggle. In 1620 such people formed a company for the uplant- ing, ruling, ordering and governing of New England in America. They chose John Win- throp as governor. Soon, William Pynchon, prompted by the desire for wealth and religious freedom, joined the group. It was not until 1629, however, that the company received a charter by royal patent. The company, by this time called the Massa- chusetts Bay Company, was to found a civil colony for the development of land. It was a Puritan group. Yet it was not until the Cam- bridge Agreement was signed on August 26, 1629, that the group could actually emigrate to New England. This agreement provided for certain English gentlemen and their families to emigrate to New England, and carried with it full powers of government which could le- gally be transferred across the sea. The group was ready to set sail. William Pynchon was appointed a magistrate and assistant of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and accompanied Governor Winthrop in his passage to America. Governor Winthrop's ship arrived in June. 1630, at Salem. William Pynchon settled in Roxbury. The settlers remained peacefully in the Eastern part of the state, chiefly concerned with the support of family and church and with the building of towns and cities. They were not very interested in developing the western area for two reasons: it was their policy not to open land to promiscuous settlement, and although the local Indians had not bothered them, they were still not certain they could trust all the surrounding tribes. The visit of an Indian sachem fchiefb to Governor Winthrop in 1633 encouraged the settlement of the district which is presently Springfield. The desire for wealth through fur trading tempted Pynchon to move westward. In 1635 he received the consent of the General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony to re- move to the area of the Connecticut River, a river which had only been known to the English since 1631. He dispatched John Cable and John Woodstock to the Connecticut Valley to build a house and to prepare for settlers who were to follow. These men erected a crude structure on the west side of the Connecticut River in a meadow which, because of their action there, was subsequently called Nhouse meadow. However, when Pynchon came with his family to settle, the site was aban- doned for another on the opposite side of the river. One reason for the change was that the west bank of the river, and particularly the meadow, was subject to overflow of the river. The reason given by Pynchon to Governor Winthrop for the abandonment of the site was the following: I am now preparing to goe to the bay and have settled upon a planta- tion at Agawamg and cannot fhere the letter is tornb . . . for the best ground at Agawam is so incombred with Indians what I shall loose half the benefit yearly, and am compel- led to plant on the opposite side to avoid trespassing thereon. Agawam .was the name given the west bank of the river. Pynchon and his family, and other settlers from Roxbury and their families, located themselves on the east bank of the river at the site of present-day Springfield. On July, 1636, two of the ancient Indians of Agaam, or Agawam, for themselves and other Indians who claimed ownership of the lands, deeded a large tract of land on both sides of the river to William Pynchon, Henry Smith, and .Iehu Burr, and their associates. The land included most of the city of Spring- field. The deed stated: It is agreed between the Com- mucke and the Matauchan Ancient Indians of Agaam for and in the name of all other Indians . . . to and with William Pynchon, Henry Smith, and .Iehu Burr, their heirs and associates, to trucke and sell that ground and meadows or lands on the East side of the Quinnecticut River called Usquaiok fthe end of the landD and Nayasset Cwhere there is a corner reaching about four or five miles in length from the north end of Massakauke, the great meadow, up to the Chickuppe Riverb. For this deed Pynchon and his associates paid a consideration which was satisfactory to the Indians. Although the settlers now owned both sides of the river, they remained at the new settle- ment on the east bank. The fact that the west bank was victim to heavy spring floods dis- couraged its settlement. Also the Agaams had one of the area's largest Indian camps on the west side. The settlers, still attempting to es- tablish themselves, could not afford any strained relations with them. In 1637 the Pequot War was fought throughout the set- tlements of New England. It was started by Indians who feared the increasing settlement of the whites. The unmistakable menace of the Pequots forced Pynchon to cooperate against them. Safety required that the settlers live near each other, and prevented locating on the'west bank of the river. Nonetheless, the neighboring Indians taught the English many of their customs and were instrumental in the rapid settlement of the area. It was difficult to develop individual farmsteads in outlying districts because many tribes of Indians overran the area, and the set- flers had to contend with unfriendly Indians as well as the neighboring, friendly Indians. Through peaceful bargaining the settlers and the Indians developed close relations. The Indians sold beaver and other furs to Pynchon and in return purchased from him such goods as Pynchon kept in store to suit their needs: '4He, Pynchon, had been so prudent as to ac- quire, from sources unknown, bushels of loose wampum shells Cfrom which beads are madelf' At the time Pynchon had the exclu- sive privilege of trading with the Indians. His fur trade represented the only commercial in- tercourse between Springfield, Boston, and London. A few years after Springfield was settled, two scouting parties were dispatched to explore the region to the north. Elizur Holyoke, one of the early settlers of Springfield and Pyn- chon's son-in-law, commanded one party along the east bank of the Connecticut River while Rowland Thomas led the party along the west bank. ,Eventually both parties ar- rived at a place later known as Rock Ferry where they were able to converse across the river. The explorers christened the mountains on the east side of the river 'LHolyoke and those on the west Thomas.,, In 1650 the boundaries of Springfield em- braced nearly all the territory lying within the towns of Springfield, West Springfield, Wil- 9 braham, Longmeadow, Ludlow, Westfield, Southwick, Holyoke, Northampton, Suffield, Enfield, and Somers. However, the only re- gions settled were those on the east bank of the river. Until 1675, the people had friendly and frequent trade with the Indians. When Philip of Poconoket, a Wampanoag chief better known as King Philip, organized a confedera- tion against the white man because of unfair trading, the settlers were engaged in King Philip's War. It endured from 1675 to 1676. During the war Springfield was burned and Elizur Holyoke was killed while commanding troops. Despite several bloody massacres the settlers prevailed. After the defeat of the In- dians, more houses were established on the west bank of the river. In 1684, .lohn Riley, an Irish settler who now dared to locate on the west bank of the river, purchased sixteen acres of land north of what is, now the southern boundary line of Holyoke. The brook defining this lot is called Riley Brook. Though there is no record of his having stayed on the land until 1725, Riley was the first permanent settler in the region I0 which became Holyoke. In 1696 the General Court of Massachusetts partitioned Springfield into two civil divisions, the First and Second Parishes. Under early Massachusetts law, a parish was an actual civil division of state, with territorial bounds as dis- tinctly marked and duties as clearly defined as in the case of a township. Every citizen be- longed to the parish and could vote IH parish meetings, was eligible for parish office, and must pay all taxes imposed upon him by the parish. Legal recognition of the parish entailed, according to Massachusetts law, responsibility for the support of a minister. When Springfield was partitioned into two parishes, the point, or rather, line, of boundary was the Connecticut River. The east bank was the First Parish, and the west bank was the Second Parish. Therefore, Holyoke was in- cluded in the Second Parish of Springfield. Despite the Indian raids in the early eight- eenth century, six families lived in the pre- Holyoke region, these families were the Days, Elys, Chapins, Balls, Morgans, and Millers. They 'Gforted togetheri' at night out of fear of the Indians. 'Early dwellings were located on Front Clxlorthamptonb Street. Many of the inhabitants of the First and Second Parishes of Springfield petitioned the General Court in 1750 to set them off as a new parish. Consequently, the two became the Fifth Parish of Springfield. This parish ih- cluded Holyoke and Chicopee. It 'lincluded practically all of Chicopee that lay north of the Chicopee River together with the land in West Springfield lying west of the Connecticut River and north of a line running westward from the Connecticut at the point where Riley Brook joins the river. In 1774, West Springfield separated from hm,-...... Springfield and became a town in its own right. In 1776 the part of West Springfield known now as Holyoke had been incorporated as the Third Parish of West Springfield, and was called North Parish, or Ireland Parish, since the first settlers had been the Irish family by the name of Riley. The early settlements of the Holyoke area were on Northampton Street until the development of water power made sections around the dam the center of village life. Holyoke remained the Third Parish of West Springfield until it became a city in 1876. Industry The Connecticut River, passing through the city of Holyoke, drops downward over a dis- tance of sixty-five feet in less than two miles of its length in this area. The visions and work of many men created the great dam and in- dustries and made Holyoke what it is today. The river had borne considerable traffic between Hartford and the foot of South Had- ley Falls, but towns above the falls were forced to transport their merchandise partly by land. In 1792 a group of twenty men secured an act of corporation from the General Court. The corporation was called the Proprietors of the Locks and Canals on the Connecticut Riverf' Benjamin Prescott was the engineer in charge of a canal to be built from a point just below the falls and extending two and one-half miles northward and parallel to the river. A wing dam was to be extended ob- liquely out into the river at the head of the canal and a strong guard lock to control the water. Another lock would secure the outlet of the canal. In 1795 the first navigable canal in the United States had been cut along the shore of the Connecticut River. Part of the works was a two hundred and thirty foot long in- clined plane device that pulled river vessels I2 from the waters below the rapids to the upper level-or lowered them on the downstream run. This device compensated for the fifty foot difference in the levels of the upper and lower sections of the canal. The dam, made of timber, slanted up and across the river for about one thousand six hundred and fifty feet, then went straight in- to the West shore a distance of nine hundred and ninety feet. The canal itself paralleled the river for nearly two and one-half miles down the east side. The upper portions became picturesque as wild vines and flowers grew along its banks and tall trees formed archways. It is certain that Prescott had no precedent to follow when he devised the inclined plane, and his engineering skill in the project was widely acclaimed. The twenty-by-thirty-foot car that traveled the thirty-foot-wide slope had three sizes of wheels so that the carrying surface of the car was always level while the car was being pulled up or lowered. This plane device is now pic- tured on the seal of our city. Water power was used in the pulling and lowering of the car and was perhaps the first time that water power was used by a utility firm in New England. It is interesting to note that a fishway built in the dam had been quite successful. The falls had been a favorite fishing spot of the Indians and shad and salmon were being caught there at that time, however, by the time the dam was completed, the salmon had become somewhat scarce. By this time there were several mills in- cluding three paper mills and two woolen mills using the power from the river, but all of these were on the east side of the river in Canal Village CSouth Hadley Fallsb. During these years a swing ferry was the sole means of transportation between Canal Village and 'flrelandf' The ferry, invented by a Mr. Robinson, was located a short distance below the old South Hadley bridge where the river suddenly narrows to form a neck of water. Because of this natural formation, the current is considerably stronger there and has equal force from one bank to the other. Therefore, the river at this crossing could not be navigated by any ferry-boat which used as its propelling power any thing other than the current of the stream itself. A wooden pole of some sixty or seventy feet in height was sunk in the mid- dle of the stream, and a pier of stone was placed on the upper side of it to form a break- water against ice. A connecting wire stretched from the pole to the ferry. The boat was placed diagonally against the current and the force of the water sent it to the opposite side in a circular or swinging passageg hence the name given, swing ferry. In 1872, the ferry was swept away by a roaring flood. In 1831 the original Hadley Falls Company was formed and the following year Ireland Parish had a cotton mill which was an in- corporated concern with a capital of 350,000, but not financed by local capital. The stock- holders were largely from Enfield. The mill contained 11-,000 spindles and was powered by the wing dam, guiding the water into a canal above the mill. This mill was an extremely prosperous con- cern, and the manager, Edward Smith, saw his original investment increase five-fold. The Connecticut River Railroad Company was chartered in March, 1845, and was com- pleted in December of that year, running from Springfield to Northampton, crossing the river at Willimansett and passing through Ireland Parish. The road was extended to Vermont in 1848 and connected in Springfield with roads to Boston and New Haven. The South Hadley Canal then became useless and the river boating declined in importance since there I3 was ample means of transportation and the river no longer the easiest route of travel. A man familiar with the dams and mills in the New England area, George C. Ewing, is given credit for the vision that created Hol- yoke. He was a salesman and traveling repre- sentative of the Fairbanks Scales Company of St. Johnsbury, Vermont, and realized that here was potential power the world had never seen. Ewingenvisioned the construction of a dam to harness the river and compel it to give up its power to the service of man. He obtained the support of a small group of Boston merchants and financiers. Outstand- ing among these men were George Lyman, Edmund Dwight, William Appleton, Samuel Cabot, and Ignatius Sargent. Ewing made arrangements for the purchase of more than eleven hundred acres of land adjacent to the falls. He was forced to pay exorbitant prices for the land because word of the project had been circulated. The stock- holders at the first meeting voted to take the name of the Hadley Falls Company and to authorize a subscribed capital of two and one- half million dollars. In the summer of 1847, the land was sur- veyed. The minimum flowage of the river was approximately 7,000 cubic feet, A thirty foot I4 dam could be a reality and such a dam would impound enough water to give industrial power for a city of 200,000 people. Construction was begun late in 1847. A 'cfearful riot was the climax of a ten-day strike that occurred early in January of 1848 among the construction workers. Mr. Ander- son, and Mr. Farnham, the constable, were wounded in the brawl. The riot took place when several of the strikers, protesting a wage cut, returned to work and were mobbed by their fellow workers. It was found necessary to call upon the militia, and twenty-five re- doubtable artillerymen from Northampton promptly answered the summons, and came down at midnight with arms and ammunition, but there was no further disturbance. Completed on November 19, 1848, by the Hadley Falls Company, the wooden dam gave way several hours after the gates had been closed. A series of three telegrams sent from Holyoke to the company office in Boston de-- scribed the entire affair very graphically. The first, sent about ten in the morning, said, HGates closed and dam begins to fill, the sec- ond, Dam leaking badlyf' and the third sent at three thirty that afternoon, Dam gone to hell by way of Willimansettf' Immediate steps were taken for the erection of another dam upon a very different and much stronger pattern, and the work began in April, 1849. When thisdam was being constructed by the Hadley Falls Company, two coffer-dams were built, one on each side of the river extending 200 feet from the bank into the stream. The construction of the main dam was then begun in sections, there were five sections in this dam. As the timber went up, the entire foundation, ninety feet in length, was packed solidly with stone to a height of ten perpendicular feet. The planking on the upper portion of the dam was eighteen inches in thickness of solid timber, all tree-nailed, spiked, and strongly bound together. At twenty-two minutes of one on October 22, 1849, half of the gates were closed, and a few minutes later, the rest were closed and the river ceased its flow until the water finally fell in a broad sheet over its crest. This new dam was intended to be tempo- rary, but it gave excellent service until 1894 when a modern masonry dam was started. During the twelve years that the Hadley Falls Company flourished, over two miles of canals were built. Included are the 3,000 feet of the First Level Canal as far as Dwight Street, 7,000 feet of the Second Level Canal from its southerly end around. to a point near the Valley Paper Company, and 3,600 feet of the Third Level Canal to a point near the Frank- lin Paper Company. This was approximately one-half of the canal system as it exists today. In 1849 a movement started to separate Ireland Parish from West Springfield and at a town meeting in 1849, th people of Ire- land decided to appeal to the legislature. As a result, the town of Holyoke was incorporated on March 14, 1850. The population at that time numbered 3,713. Between 1848 and 1850 the Hadley Falls Company had established a water supply for the city. A reservoir and main and service pipes were laid through the settled sections of the city. The company built two mills on the up- per level canal with blocks of boarding houses sufficient for their employees. Business and professional men were at- tracted to the new city and in the summer of 1850 there were thirteen persons and cor- porations each paying taxes on at least ten thousand dollars. Also in 1850 the first water wheel run by water from the dam was set in motion and the first operations started in the number one mill of the Hadley Falls Company. ln 1853 the Hampden Mills were incorpor- ated and during that year the Hadley Falls Company built them a cotton mill.

In 1854, the capitalists decided to separate their enterprises, the Lyman Mills Company was organized to manage the two Hadley Falls mills and its tenements, the remainder, under the management of the Hadley Falls Company Mill No. 1, manufactured cotton sheeting, shirting, and drilling, while Mill No. 2 manu- factured lawns and prints. ln early 1857 the Prentiss Wire Mills started to operate a small mill owned by the Parsons Paper Company manufacturing re- fined wire of every description. Also, in early 1857, the Holyoke Paper Company was or- ganized to manufacture fine writing paper. In 1881, the company received a gold medal at Melbourne for bond and linen paper. During the panic of 1857, the merchants re- ceived a severe setback, the effects of which lasted for the next two years. The Hadley Falls Company became financially embarrassed and went bankrupt on February 29, 1859, and its property was put up for public auction. The Holyoke Water Power Company was in- corporated in June of 1859, the directors be- ing: Alfred Smith, James Goodwin, Boland Mather, and George Bartholemew, all of Hartford, plus John Chase of Chicopee, John Williston of Northampton, and John Turner of Boston. Unlike the Hadley Falls Company, which encouraged only cotton manufacturing, the Holyoke Water Power Company encour- aged any industry which could use water power to come to Holyoke. Thus Holyoke eventually became a paper city and not a cotton town as was originally planned. From 1865 to 1873, eight paper companies came to Holyoke. These were the Riverside Paper Company, the Mt. Tom Paper Company, Franklin Paper Company, Valley Paper Com- pany, the Crocker Paper Company, the Mas- sasoit Paper Company, Beebe and Holbrook Company and the Excelsior Paper Company. The total capitalization of these eight com- panies amounted to one million four hundred thousand dollars. Ultimately the town was to become the Paper City of the world. Certainly. very few manufacturing towns can show greater development of industry than Holyoke in the decade of the sixties. The National Blank Book Company was or- ganized in New York, in 1875, as the J. G. Shaw Company, but was changed in 1880 to its present name and moved to Holyoke in 1881. Papermaking in Holyoke became such a promising business that William Whiting, a clerk for the Holyoke Paper Company, organ- ized the Whiting Paper Company in association with L. O. Brown and E. F. Jenks, with a capital qt rff .v .mv-: 4. ...f'.'..-1 v.x.4 M 4 . . ,,-S ,iv v A - -K .ve .x . fi xx, 3 , x ' , T --- .453 , 5 ' 3 ,N M-f,q,g,W,gsf5 . i.,,-j.:xm,,.1w 4 - I 1 ' ' ',., . 'ft 1 5.

Av-new-' of about one million dollars. Almost three tons of paper were made at first, but business grew so fast that a second mill was built from profits of the first years. The capital in 1887 was three million dollars, but the original invest- ment was only one million. As of 1887, Hol- yoke produced over half of the fine paper made in the United States. The second wooden dam, built in 184-9, gave excellent service until 1894 when a mod- ern masonry dam was started. This project took six years to complete and cost approxi- mately six hundred thousand dollars. Because it was the largest stone masonry dam in the United States, it was called the 'cmillion dollar dam. The structure, as it exists today, meas- ures 1,020 feet between abuttments and is thirty feet high from the river bedrock. Its granite facing insures against the constant 20 view of the Dam and Canal system 119645 erosion of the water and abrasive forces of ice and driftwood throughout the year. The downstream curve of the dam is truly para- bolic. Following the construction'of the great dam in 1900, Holyoke continued to prosper and has rightfully been called the Industrial City of Western Massachusetts. Even though Holyoke has no centuried past to recall, no crumbling landmarks to cherish, no ancestral memories to venerate, its memories dwell chiefly on the daring and foresight of the- group of men who harnessed the Connecticut River and whose engineering triumphs brought about the birth of our city. There are very few cities in the East that can show such a swift, and at the same time such a substantial growth as Holyoke has enjoyed over the past century. Education Through the foresight of our founding fathers, an educational system was initiated in Ireland Parish, a village which eventually came to be known as Holyoke. In 1677 Will Madison was employed as a schoolmaster receiving three pence a week for each child he taught to read, and four pence a week if writing was added. It is generally accepted that the first house was built in 1679. It was 77 feet by 17 feet, 81f2 feet high and consisted of one chamber. The appellation of grammar school throughout the whole code of school laws from 1647 to 1825 was under- stood to be one in which the Latin and Greek languages were taught, and where young men prepared to enter college. For each child en- rolled in the school, a parent had to supply a cord of wood. The main function of the school administrators, a moderator, clerk, and com- mittee, was the acquisition of wood for the school fire which warined both teacher and pupil during the cold winter months. As early as 1730, Joseph Ely Senior con- ducted a school which was in Ireland Parish. Ely's own home near Plum Tree Knoll was probably the location of that school. The first evidence of the town of. Springfieldis spend- ing money for the maintenance of a school at Ireland Parish to a committee rather than to a resident of that parish was noted in the town records of Springfield on November 1, 1731. And, on November 2, 1773, the first indication of the existence of an actual school Parson Thomas Rand house at Ireland appeared: there was granted the sum of 5 Cmoneyl for the building of a school house in that part of the town where Aaron livethf' This part of town is now the lower end of Ashley Ponds. Some of the earliest records of formal ed- ucation in Ireland Parish ,date back to 1802 when the mother town of West Springfield opened a school in what is now Elmwood. The prominent village elders furnished room and board for the teachers. Miss Sally Clapp and Miss Lovina Humeston, the two teachers in service in 1802, resided at the home of Caleb Humeston. Reading, writing, and cipher- ing were taught at the school. Through the efforts of Reverend Thomas Rand, Caleb Humeston, Austin Goodyear, Noah Woolcut, and David Bassett, a school 2l was opened in Baptist Village Clflmwoodb. This school, Baptist Academy, was situated on Back Street fHomestead Avenueb but was later moved to the site of the old Merrick res- idence on the corner of Westfield Road and Northampton Street. At this academy, boys received instruction in mathematics and the classics as a preparation for college. The first evidence of the existence of a high school in Ireland Parish came with an agree- ment of the Trustees of the lreland Parish High School which allowed William Gamwell to become master of that high school in 1839. Gamwell agreed to assume the entire charge of the lreland Parish High School as preceptor for the term of three years. This high school became known as HGarnwell Academygi' tui- tion to the academy was from three dollars and fifty cents to four dollars per month with an additional dollar for French, drawing, and painting. ln 1850 Ireland Parish ceased to exist when it became the Town of Holyoke. In 1852 the first school committee consisted of three men: A. B. Clarke, Asbel Chapin, and Mark Car- penter, and in the same year Stephen Holman established the Holyoke Village High School, the immediate forerunner of Holyoke High School. Mr. Holman Ncommenced the school and earned for himself a reputation as a well-quali- fied, thorough, and most efficient teacher. At first the Galludet block on the corner of High and Lyman Streets was the location of the Village High School, later, the high school moved to a block on the corner of Race and 22 Dwight Streets. At that time it was the policy of schools to regulate school terms to the farming needs of the New England community. Hence, the Village High School had three terms-summer, winter, and fall. Textbooks used at the high school included: Andrewis Latin Lessons, Andrew's Latin Reader, Anthonas Horace, Cooperis Vergil, Harris' Bookkeeping, Green's Elements of the English Language, lVlitchell,s Ancient Geog- raphy and Atlas, Goodrichis United States H is- tory, and Colburn's Intellectual Arithmetic. On February 19, 1856, the students of the Village High School published Our Little Pet, their first school newspaper. This issue, the first of six that are known, sold at five cents a copy, twenty-five cents a year. As explained by its originators, the purpose of the newspa- per was as follows: 5'0ur Little Pet is intended as a school journal to lay before our parents and friends, view our compositions, a catalogue of our school, and a program of our exhibi- tion. Whether it will be issued during future terms depends upon the patronage it now re- ceivesf' During a town meeting in March, 1862, the first municipal high school was established when the Village High School was abolished. During the same year a new high school build- ing was erected at a cost of 38,500 on the west side of Elm Street, between Suffolk and Dwight Streets. Here is a detailed description of the building: The structure is of brick, with slate roof, and consists of a main part and two wings. It has two stories, the first twelve feet in height, the second sixteen feet, with a large attic and high basement, and is surrounded by a tasty cupola. The wings af- ford separate entrances for the two sexes. On the first floor are two rooms affording seats for sixty pupils each, occupied by permission of the town, by a primary and intermediate school of District No. V. According to the school committee report for that year, the new high school His the best furnished and as beautiful a structure of the kind as, consider- ing the cost, can be found in the Connecticut Valley. A short time later two courses were initiated leading to diplomas: a two year course in 6'En- glish Branches which provided the student with a practical business education, and a four year course in the classics which prepared the student for further study in college. College, preparation for that day, and for many years thereafter, consisted of the study of Latin, mathematics, French and Greek. Not until later did the study of English become a def- inite part of high school work. There were exercises in grammar and composition, but in- struction in the English language and litera- ture was not begun until 1891. Officially, the commercial department was instituted in 1897, and Michael Cella was the business education instructor. Because of crowded conditions at Elm Street High School, as it was popularly referred to, the Post Of- fice Store was rented to house the commercial department. Already the Saint Joseph Tem- perance League Hall was used for morning exercises and assemblies. To enter high school, graduates of the town grammar schools were carefully examined in geography, history, grammar, and arithmetic. In 1870, a state law required free instruction in industrial or mechanical drawing for per- sons fifteen years of age in day or evening school became applicable to Holyoke. Also at this time, the school committee acknowledged music as an important branch of education. Soon the basement of the school was converted into a chemistry laboratory. When the impor- tance of health and physical education was realized, Holyoke became the first New Eng- land city to employ a calisthenics instructor. Drawing and penmanship gained new em- phasis. Hence a new kind of education was being fitted gradually to the needs of the children and the community. In 1863 our first Superintendent of Schools, J. P. Buckland, was elected by the school board consisting of John Chase, Stephen Holman, Edwin H. Ball, Simeon Miller, and J. P. Buck- land himself. After the establishment of a regular course in the new high school, the first graduating class consisted of six young ladies: Alice A. Wild, Imogene Heywood, Emma Loomis, Sarah Grover, Alice Emerson, and Maria Kelt. The absence of boys from that graduating. class of 1865 may have been caused by the Civil War which was raging in the United States at that time. Four boys, however, did graduate the following year, 1866. When the Superintendent of Schools, I. P. Buckland, presented diplomas to the class of 1865, he urged them to put their lives to good use and especially to remember their teachers 23 Stephen Holman The Elm Street High School I. P.

From 1872 to 1883 three students gradu- ated from the high school who have since done a great deal for Holyoke High and the other Holyoke Public Schools. They were: Miss M. Adele Allen, a teacher of classics at Holyoke High for many years, Miss Lilian W. Fay, long-time teacher and dean of girls at Holyoke High, and Miss Jennie B. Scolley, teacher and Assistant Superintendent of Schools under Mr. William R. Peck. Between 1880 and 1897 a heavy influx of immigrants more than doubled the population of Holyoke. This sharp increase in population necessitated the building of a new high school, which was begun in 1898. Twenty years ear- lier, Mr. E. L. Kirtland, the Superintendent of Schools, had foreseen the need for a new high school. Although he was not superinten- dent when the high school was completed, Mr. Kirtland performed much of the groundwork for the school. He persuaded the city to pur- chase the site for the school in 1895, and his school report for that year included plans which were later accepted. The following is the de- scription of the new high school that appeared in the newspaper on Friday, September 9, basement: On each floor there are toilets, cloak and book rooms, and two openings down which waste pa- per may be thrown to the basement. Each floor has an emergency room, which will be fitted with a medical closet. The building is 185' X 225' and contains sixty rooms and an assem- bly hall. Upon entering the rnain entrance, a long corridor is seen and at left are situated the principal's rooms. The 'main rooms are con- nected by telephone with every other room in the building. There are four sixty-horse pow- ered boilers which will be used in the indirect steam heating system. Every room in the building is connected with the Ventilating sys- tem and it would be hard to find a more perfect one. In the center of the quadrangle is the auditorium on the first floor. the balcony having a second floor entrance. Over 1,200 people may be seated here, the bal- cony seating 375 and the floor 840. 1898: The marble tablets at the Pine Street en The new building occupies an en- tire square and is bounded by Pine, Beech, Cabot, and Sargeant Streets It is of stone and yellow pressed bricks, three stories high with an attic. There are four entrances to the trance commemorate Superintendent Preston W. Searchas devotion to higher learning. It had been earlier agreed upon that the names of Mayor, the Board of Aldermen, the Superin- tendent of Schools, and the School Committee were to be carved on the tablets, but the stone cutter had no list and called Superintendent 25 Search who gave him the following names: Jefferson, Horace Mann, Humbolt, Faraday, Galileo, Newton, Homer, Columbus, Shake- speare, Goethe, Michaelangelo, Rafael, Wil- liam.of Sens, and Bach. In his report to the school committee for 1899 Superintendent Search offered an inter- esting suggestion: HI repeat my recommen- dation of one year ago, that the many changes of pupils from classroom to classroom incedent to the work of the high school, together with the enormous size of our building with its may stairs and half-mile of corridors, will posi- tively demand an elevator in the new high schoolfl In September of 1898, the school began to function in its new home, situated on the block bounded on the north by Hampshire Street, and on the east by Pine. For three years the community had waited for the completion of this structure and for six months the High School Committee, the Superintendent of Schools, and the architect had labored dili- gently on the equipment. September 12th found the work so far advanced that it was possible to enter the school and to organize. By the beginning of the month of December the High School Committee had provided a lunch counter and equipped lunch-room and kitchens. Pupils could either bring with them their lunches in whole or in part, or could pro- cure them at small cost at the lunch counter. While the new building was used for school purposes from September 12th, it was not formally opened to the public until October 26. 26 On that date the regular dedication exercises took place. The following was the program Superintendent T. W. Search, The New Era in Education, President C. Stanley Hall of Clark University, Education and Patriotism, Dr. Walter L. Hervey President of the Teacher's College, The People's Part in the Building of a School, Superintendent T. M. Balliet of Springfield, Judge E. W. Chapin of Holyoke. In the evening Principal Charles H. Keyes gave an address on The House We Dedicatef' and Honorable Frank A. Hill, Sec- retary of the Massachusetts State Board of Ed- ucation, on HTeachers of the Times. The building was thoroughly illuminated on five evenings following the dedication day, opened to the public and visited by many thousand citizens. On October 4, the Alumni Association held a reunion, at which about three hundred of the alumni were present, thereby showing their loyalty to the school. The association was reorganized in July, 1898, at a meeting heldiin the old high school on Elm Street. According to the constitution then adopted, an annual social meeting was to be held in the High School building in June dur- ing the week of graduation and a business meeting once in two years in September. With the opening of the new high school, or- ganized activities developed within the student body. Each class had an organization which held a regular meeting on the last Friday of every month. The students prepared and pub- lished a school monthly known as the High School H erald. The work was put in the hands of the board of editors, composed of an editor- in-chief and two assistants, elected by the Senior class, and assistant editor and one as- sistant chosen by the Junior class, and two associate editors representing the first and second year classes. The business manager was elected by the Senior class and appointed his own assistants. The fall term brought into the new building 583 pupils, of whom 256 with an average of 15.6 years belonged to the first year class, 136 with an average of 16.1 years, to the second year class, 99 with an average of 17 years, to the third year class, 53 with an aver- age of 17.8 years, to the fourth year class, and 39 post graduates and specials, with an average of 20.5 years. Courses open to the students were English, Mathematics, History, Physiography, French, Latin, Domestic Science and Manual Training, Drawing, German, Bookkeeping, Biology, Greek, Physics, Chemistry and Stenography and Typing. All students were required to take two years of English, and the most popular elective subject, besides mathematics, was French, a course in which 297 students partic- ipated. The program was so arranged that any reasonable or probable combinations of studies contemplated in the course of study was avail- able. The regular quota of work for each pupil was four subjects. Every subject was pursued for a full year for five hours per week. Each pupil gave double time, eighty minutes, to each of two subjects on Monday and Wednes- day, double time to the other two subjects on Tuesday and Thursday, and on Friday had single periods for each study. The double period gave the opportunity for class drill, for individual attention, for directing work, train- ing pupils to study, and for keeping all ex- amination and test work Within the limits of the class time, thus avoiding the necessity of any so-called examination schedule. The short single periods on Friday gave opportunity for rapid review, incisive class drill, and presenta- tion of new matter to the class. The course of study in a high school in such a community as Holyoke could never be re- stricted to simply a college preparatory course. It recognized as its mission the duty of making the most of the boys and girls who graduated from the grammar schools. To furnish such young, for at least four years, the very best chance to make the most of themselves and to help them in the best way possible to pre- pare for the field of activity that lay ahead, was their endeavor. The courses of study were to provide opportunity C11 to prepare for college, f2D to prepare for normal school, CA school which trained prospective teachersj C3D to prepare for scientific or technical schools, C45 to prepare for business, and withal Q55 to prepare for a life of growth. To this end was offered four years' work in each of six subjects: English, mathematics, classics, history, natural science, and modern language. Three years' work was offered in special, com- mercial, and in art courses, and at the time only two years in domestic and manual train- 27 ing. Pupils could thus take any of five lines of training above mentioned. It was highly im- portant that pupils should early determine which line of training to attempt. The pupil who wanted to go to college was to keep the way open and had to have his type of college in mind before the end of the first year in high school. The purpose to prepare for normal school was known on entrance to the high school. A pupil of fair ability and industry could pre- pare thoroughly for college or normal school with four years of properly directed work in the high school, and no pupil of lesser at- tainments could be admitted to either college or normal school. In order to graduate from the school every student had to complete the following pre- scribed work: two years of English, two years of mathematics, two of history, and one of physics. He had to carry straight through the four years work in one of the following lines: English, mathematics, history, natural science, classics, or modern languages. This left one half of the course to be devoted to the subjects of his choice, for which he had aptitude or demand. The elective opportunity furnished by the course of study and flexible program gave each pupil so much work of his own choice that it had inspired the spirit as well as the habit of work. In 1911, Mr. E. N. White proposed to re- place the plain glass windows in the audi- torium by memorial windows of stained glass. 28 As a result, Dr. Howard Conant, a renowned principal of Holyoke High School, appointed the Herald staff to make a list of the graduates who wished to dedicate a window in their memory. Originally, the proposal was for forty windows, sixteen of medallion design with twenty-four windows bordering them. Five were ordered in 1911 at the cost of twenty- five dollars per window and five dollars for installation. By 1915, fourteen more windows had been replaced. Because of World War l, no more windows were ordered until 1921. Since glass-makers could not duplicate the colors of pre-war windows, the windows pro- duced after the war were colored differently. The classes from 1921 to 1937 inclusive are also represented, the value of the windows in 1935 was established to be two thousand dollars. In 1912, William R. Peck stressed his com- mencement speech the need for a new gym- nasium. The gymnasium being used then was located on the basement floor of the High School built in 1898. However, the poles in the center of the gymnasium supporting the school were a hindrance to the basketball players. During the following year the Holyoke School Board organized a Holyoke Vocational School. After some controversy over the con- struction of both a vocational school and a new gymnasium, it was agreed that both should be located under the same roof. As a result of his intense interest William Peck was sum- moned from Holy Cross College, the college 1 'ff- si? Eiv-+V s., .x . '55 kt '5 1-rf 1 : 5 A 55563 , 5. .5 :gi sg: ' 5- 1 - .

The Holyoke Vocational School, as organ- ized by the school board of Holyoke, opened on September S, 1913. It was the consummation of the preliminary efforts of the school author- ities for industrial education in this city. To secure state aid, the school was formally turned over by the Holyoke School Board to an independent board known as the Board of Trustees, which was created by a city ordinance to comply with the state laws governing the es- tablishment of industrial schools. The Vocational School served two general classes of students: first, those wishing a course in preparation for the industries for which in- struction was provided, second, those regularly employed in trade work by day who desired by attendance of evening classes to become more proficient in their chosen occupation. Additionally, there were Practical Arts classes for women, conducted as part of the evening work. The aim of these classes was to increase efficiency in home-making and home-manage- ment. In July, 1914, the Day Vocational School and a portion of the Evening School were housed in quarters in the High School gym- nasium building on the south side of Sargeant Street between Pine and Beech Streets. The floor area was about 14,750 square feet exs clusive of corridor space and was sufficient to accommodate properly about one hundred and twenty pupils. The enrollment was ninety-nine for the day school and six hundred and twelve 30 for the evening school. The day school offered a complete four years, course providing an option whereby at the beginning of the third year, instruction, if continued, would be on a part time basis. Each department was regarded as a school in itself as far as instruction was concerned. The work of each school department consisted of: shop practice on the machinery and man- ipulation of the materials of that trade, thorough training in the related technical work in mathematics, drawing, English, shop ac- counts, academic and non-related cultural studies such as civics, history, literature, eco- nomics, personal hygiene, physical training, and athletics. The faculty were selected in every case with a view to their experience at their several trades, their character, and their proven ability as teachers. Satisfactory teaching experience had been demanded, as from the experienced trade teachers. Evening trade extension courses were es- pecially important to the industrial life of the city because they contributed more immediately and directly to industry than any other courses offered. The following classes were established on the short-unit basis: carpentry, pattern mak- ing, estimating for bricklayers, machine shop practice, printing, paperrnaking, electricity, steam engineering, drawing for carpenters, blue print reading for machinists, decorative plastering, weave formation, loomfixing, and fine cabinet making. The school was divided into three divisions. The aim of the first division, the Day School for Boys, was to train boys to enter upon em- ployment in recognized trades. The Practical Arts classes, the second division, were for women seventeen years of age or over. Its pur- pose was to develop a knowledge of the art and science of home-making. The Trade Ex- tension courses of the third division were for men employed in the trades. In 1917, Dr. William Peck was elected Su- perintendent of the Holyoke Public School Sys- tem. During his years as superintendent, many changes were effected. From time to time clubs were started, usually as a result of class interest. In nearly every class these groups were organized as Junior Achievement Clubs under the .lunior Achievement Foundation of the Eastern States Industrial and Agricultural League. In Septem- ber, 1922, the Cotton Club, Basketry Club, Poultry Club, and Paper Club gave demon- strations at the Eastern States Exposition. In 1922 there was a marked increase in the enrollment which demanded consideration in providing space and equipment for future expansion. The crowded conditions were re- lieved by the return of two grades to the South Chestnut Street School. A significant change took place in the Com- mercial Department in 1928. The subject of typewriting up to that time had been limited to third and fourth year girls who studied stenography. Pupils who desired to secure a knowledge of its operation as a general asset were excluded from the course. Graduates, moreover, complained of the need of addi- tional machine practice before entering offices. In addition, junior high school graduates de- siring to study stenography often left to en- ter private commercial schools because they had to wait too long for what they wanted in the High Schoolf' Typewriting was extended to three years for stenographic students and could be elected in any year without stenog- raphy by all other pupils. In order to meet the demand which this change occasioned, it was necessary to equip and open another type- writing room in the high school. In the same year, a definite Household Art course leading to a diploma was organized at the high school. It became possible for high school girls to make Household Arts their major field of interest. Previously, cooking and sewing were merely elective subjects for girls enrolled in other courses. The course, more- over, had heen placed on a state-aided, state- supervised basis in the same manner as the Vocational or Constitutional School, with the state reimbursing the city for one-half the cost of instruction and maintenance. It marked the first introduction of the state-aided program in our high school. The new department was officially called the Holyoke Day Household Art School. In 1931, since the enrollment was some- what larger than anticipated and there was a question of electives in the college preparatory course, the School Board provided for the ac- commodation of the students by adopting a two platoon plan effective on the opening day 3l of school in September. The two sessions were approximately of equal length, the morn- ing session beginning at 8:20 and closing at 12 :303 the afternoon session opening at 12:45 and ending at 4:30. Each session was divided into five equal periods. This division was partially attempted on the basis of scholarship. ln several of the subjects where the divisions were numerous, they had attempted to share the brighter students in certain divisions. In many of the classrooms, the group method of instruction was used. This was particularly true in the English department. Backward pu- pils were placed under the tutelage of better pupils in some classes, which proved to be very beneficial. ln Latin the group method was used to great advantage in translation of English sentences into Latin. It was said that every class had some change in topics or a short rest, so that the work did not become tiresome. There were many other educational im- provements during Dr. Peck's term as super- intendent of the Holyoke Public School Sys- tem. For instance, several new grammar schools were constructed, penmanship and health in- struction were started in the schools. Also, the cafeteria program was extended to the grammar school level, and the Trade High School was modernized through the introduc- tion of modern equipment. In addition, Dr. Peck completed the or- ganization of the junior high' school on a functional basis similar to that of the regular high school. He fostered the idea that kinder- garten prepared a child for school. So, wher- ever space and enrollment permitted, all day 32 kindergarten sessions were held. The educa- tion of the Gibbs twins in their home began a program whereby physically handicapped children could obtain a free public school ed- ucation right in their own homes. Another noteworthy accomplishment was the introduc- tion of the junior college into Holyoke in 1946. In the fall of 1964, Holyoke Junior College, under the leadership of Dr. George Frost, be- came a state-operated college. While Henry Fitzpatrick was principal of Holyoke High School, steps were taken so that students might derive the greatest pos- sible benefit from a high school education. The commercial department was improved, the Nurse,s Preparatory and the General Cur- riculums were begung and courses for academ- ically talented students were also introduced. ln 1963 Mr. Fitzpatrick retired as principal of Holyoke High School and Edward J. Moriarty, formerly head of the English de- partment at the high school, became principal. With the graduation of its one hundredth class in 1964, Holyoke High School concluded a century of education which began with the commencement of six girls in 1865. Speaking at the one hundredth graduation were three distinguished alumni of Holyoke High: Dr. Edward S. Lynch, Vice-president of the West- inghouse Electric lnternational Company, Dr. Homer E. Newell, Associate Administrator for Space Science and Applications of the Na- tional Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the Honorable James W. Wakelin Jr., Assistant Secretary of the Navy Research and Development. A fourth man, Dr. Philip Coombs of the International Institute of Educa- tional Planning was unable to attend. Since the one hundredth class was the last class to graduate from the old high school, a special program was held with the theme Whither Goest Thou, America. ln a release to the Holyoke Daily Transcript, Principal Edward J. Moriarty revealed plans for the graduation ceremonies. MacKenzie Stadium will be the setting for the graduation of the cen- tennial class, numbering four hun- dred and twenty-five. Eminently fit- ting to this occasion is the fact that Holyoke High School will be closing out a century of secondary education by holding this graduation at the foot of a hill upon which is now be- ing constructed a 34-.5 million high school building. With glowing ex- citement we are looking forward to this transition from the old to the new. When the 1964--1965 school session opened, students of Holyoke High entered a com- pletely modern school. This school resulted from the hard work of progressive citizens who saw the need for such a structure. The 34.5 million building consists of 374 rooms, 259 actual classrooms. It is a complex triumph of modern engineering, fire safety, sound, light, heat, and space shaped for the future as well as the present. The new high school does jobs ranging from the keeping of ninety-six faculty members and one thousand three hundred and thirty-five students Warm and dry, to the control of resonance and echoes in the auditorium by means of the upholstered chairs. It is equip- ped with steel fire doors placed between the major parts of the school. Also present are waterproof membranes placed beneath the floors in all Wash areas to reduce water damage between floors in the event of a flood. An elevator, an intercom phone system, flourescent lights, special wiring in each classroom for the use of educational television, and an olym- pic size pool seventy-five feet long and forty- two feet wide are also features of the multi- million dollar high school. Superintendent of Schools Dr. Marcella R. Kelly expresses the forward strive and dedi- cation of the Holyoke Public School System with these words. Citizenship, scholarship, char- acter, and also culture must mark the underpinnings of all our efforts. These goals we must forever pre- serve to the end that self-realization, civic responsibility, social compe- tence, and moral integrity promote the good, the complete, the happy, and the humane life. To the foregoing tasks we all pledge ourselves anew, on the eve of the opening of H0lyoke's new high school. In our dedication, let us be humble but sincere, and in our prayer let us be confident that in this city, under Godg education shall expand and flourish in the new millenium. 33 Ground Breaking Ceremony for new high school Side view of 354.5 million dollar high school '49 IB, 'fm 4, W-Fm ga 'ff .E As' 'ivy li mf, -SMS? .

In Memoriam Inaugural Address January 20, l96I Mr. Chief Justice, President Eisenhower, Vice President Nixon, President Truman, reverend clergy, fellow citizens, we observe today not a victory of party, but a celebration of freedom-symbolizing an end, as well as a beginning-signifying renewal, as well as change, For I have swom before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a century and three quarters ago. The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all fomis of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe-the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of Cod. We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolu- tion. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Ameri- cans-bom in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage-and unwilling to wit- ness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this Nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world. Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill,- that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty. This much we pledge-and more. To those old allies whose cultural and spiritual origins we share, we pledge the loyalty of faithful friends. United, there is little we cannot do in a host of cooperative ventures. Divided, there is little we can do- for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds and split asunder. To those new States whom we welcome to the ranks of the free, we pledge our words that one form of colonial control shall not have passed away merely to be replaced by a far greater iron tyranny. We shall not always expect to find them supporting our view. But we shall always hope to find them strongly supporting their own freedomeand to re- member that, in the past, those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside. To those peoples in the huts and villages across the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves, for whatever period is required-not because the Com- munists may be doing it, not because we seek their votes, but because it is right. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich. To our sister republics south of our border, we offer a special pledge- to convert our good words into good deeds, in a new alliance for prog- ress, to assist free men and free govemments in casting off t.he chains of poverty. But this peaceful revolution of hope cannot become the prey of hostile powers. Let all our neighbors know that we shall join with them to oppose aggression or subversion anywhere in the Ameri- cas. And let every other power know that this hemisphere intends to remain the master of its own house. To that world assembly of sovereign states, the United Nations, our last best hope in an age where the instruments of war have far outpaced the instruments of peace, we renew our pledge of support- to prevent it from becoming merely a forum for invective-to strengthen its shield of the new and the weak-and to enlarge the area in which its writ may run. Finally, to those nations who would make themselves our adversary, we offer not a pledge but a request: that both sides begin anew the quest for peace, before the dark powers of destruction unleashed by science engulf all humanity in planned or accidental self-destruction. We dare not tempt them with weakness. For only when our arms are sufficient beyond doubt can we be certain beyond doubt that they will never be employed. 40 But neither can two great and powerful groups of nations take comfort from our present course-both sides overburdened by the cost of modern weapons, both rightly alarmed by the steady spread of the deadly atom, yet both racing to alter that uncertain balance of terror that stays the hand of mankind's final war. So let us begin anew-remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject to proof. Let us never negotnzte out of fear. But let us never fear to negotuzte. Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of laboring those problems which divide us. Let both sides, for the first time, formulate serious and precise pros posals for the inspection and control of arms-and bring the absolute power to destroy other nations under the absolute control of all nations, Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors. Together let us explore the stars, conquer the deserts, eradicate disease, tap the ocean depths, and encourage the arts and commerce. Let both sides unite to heed in all comers of the earth the command of Isaiah-to undo the heavy burdens and to let the oppressed go free. And if a beachhead of cooperation may push back the jungle of suspicion, let both sides join in creating a new endeavor, not a new balance of power, but a new world of law, where the strong are just and the weak secure and the peace preserved. All this will not he finished in the first 100 days. Nor will it be fin- ished in the first 1,000 days, nor in the life of this administration, nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet. But let us begin. In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than in mine, will rest the final success or failure of our course. Since this country was founded, each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty. The graves of young Americans who answered the call to service are found around the globe. Now the trumpet summons us again-not as a call to bear arms, though arms we needg not as a call to battle, though embattled we areg but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in, and year out, rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation -a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself. Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North and South, East and West, that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Will you join in that historic effort? In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility-I welcome it. l do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it-and the glow from that fire can truly light the world. And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you: Ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: Ask not what America will do for you, but what together we am do for the freedom of man. Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with his- tory the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own.

MORIARTY Principal Dear Graduatesz Our aim this year at Holyoke High School has been to develop each student, to the hest of his ability, as an integrated personality who will he equipped to operate along the road of reason as he attempts to fulfill the purpose of his life. Life is such a serious venture, demanding the full use of oneas talents, that we have tried to make the High School a temple of learning, dedicated to each stu- dent,s noble calling. So it is that, while employers and college regis- trars may he keenly interested in what you can do with your talents, we at Holyoke High School have placed the special stress on what you are. We earnest- ly believe that, hefore a graduate aspires to be a first class secretary or doctor, she or he should first carry the hallmark of a lady or a gentleman. As you face the challenges that life has in store for you, may you ever keep smiling, keep up your undaunted courage and, ahove all, keep close to Cod. Sincerely and cordially yours, Edward J.

Let us now look back upon those three, short years and recall the many moments and events which made this time in our lives so memorable. Our first duty as a class was the election of offi- cers, who were: Michael O'Connor, President, ,Io- anne Dunleavy, Vice President, Robert Frost, Treas- urerg Nancy Bey, Secretary, and Robert Dowling, Marshal. Excitement and merriment prevailed at the tradi- tional Big Sister Party where we sophomore girls, dressed in our baby finery, became acquainted with our senior sisters. Later in tl1e fall, we witnessed a number of thrill- ing Saturday afternoons as we attended our first Holyoke High football games. During the Christmas season, while the Juniors and Seniors planned their prom, we held a number of dances and parties to keep up with the holiday spirit. The basketball season that year was highlighted by the cancellation of the Holyoke-Chicopee game. In March we were honored by a visit from Edward Ted', Kennedy, who spoke to the students and the faculty on world problems. Our swimming team, consisting of many of our sophomore boys, won for the first time in the history of Holyoke High, the Western Massachusetts and the State Swimming Championships, Also that year, the Drama Club presented the play Anastasia, in which a member of our class, Donna Dickinson, played the leading role. Finally vacation came, and we left Holyoke High, 48 looking forward to our junior year and the impres- sive title of uupperclassmenf' In November of 1962, Michael O'Connor was elected President, Joanne Dunleavy, Vice Presidentg Robert Frost, Treasurer, Nancy Bey, Secretary, and Edward Belisle, Marshal. The Holyoke High football team, after a predic- tion of a seventh place finish, went on to capture tl1e title of Co-Champions of Western Massachu- setts. That year, the Christmas holiday held a personal excitement for us, for we, as juniors, helped plan the Junior-Senior Prom, and, on the evening of De- cember 27th, we danced to the theme of Winter Fantasy in a beautifully decorated ballroom. The Winter Carnival, entitled February Thawf' was planned by the Student Council in an effort to create a feeling of fellowship throughout the school. The carnival turned out to be a fun-filled weekend enjoyed by the entire student body. The Holyoke High mermen once again brought fame to the school by capturing the second Pioneer Valley League Championship with a 12-0-0 record. In the spring of the year, the Holyoke High School Arts and Performance Guild, under the ex- pert guidance of Mr. Kinney, Mr. Walsh, and Mr. Falvey, presented the highly successful Broadway musical, Paint Your Wagonf, Due to the tremen- dous response of the public, the cast was compelled to give additional performances. Two members of our class, Donna Dickinson and Donald Grigware, were chosen to represent Holyoke High at Girls' and Boys' State respectively. Juniors given awards on Class Day included Stephen Stefanik, the DAR American History prize, Roger Menzel, awards for outstanding citizenship and excellence in Algebra, and Kathleen Fallon, award for excellence in French. At the end of the year, we were saddened to learn that our principal, Mr. Henry J. Fitzpatrick, after many years of faithful service to Holyoke High, was retiring. Mr. Edward J. Moriarty, a man long famil- iar to us, became our new principal. To conclude our junior year, we had a junior class picnic at Look Park, enjoyed by all who at- tended. Early in the fall, we realized that our senior year would be very eventful, due to the fact that we would be the 100th graduation class, and also the last class to graduate from the old Holyoke High School. Election of the senior class officers was con- ducted after a brief campaign, patterned like that of a regular municipal election, featuring the use of voting machines. Chosen to lead the class were Michael O'Connor, President, Joanne Dunleavy, Vice President, Robert Frost, Treasurer, Nancy Bey, Secretary, and Edward Belisle, Marshal. Also elected to office were Thomas Cleary and Martha Burke, President and Vice President of the Student Council, Karen Boucher, Patricia Wolniewicz, and Sandra Fecteau, President, Vice President, and Sec- retary of the Service Club, Maxine Skypeck and Donna Dziedzec, Co-Captains of the Pep Squad, and Linda Epstein and Donald Grigware, Co-Editors of the Herald. We were again very fortunate to have a foreign- exchange student, Brigitte Chevalley from Paris, France. To all who have met her, Brigitte has become a close friend and a very welcomed addition to the halls of Holyoke High. In November, our school, along with millions of people the world over, joined in mourning the death of our beloved President, John Fitzgerald Kennedy. This tragic event will be a vivid part of our memo- ries for many years to come. College Boards again brought feelings of anxiety to the seniors, but one girl needn't have worried, for Kathleen Fallon achieved a perfect score of 800 in the English. As Christmas approached, we planned the Junior- Senior Prom, the Sleigh-Ball,', held at the gaily decorated Lynch Gymnasium. As a result of a Betty Crocker Test taken by all senior girls, Kathleen Fallon was named 4'Home- maker of Tomorrowi' for 1964. By a vote of our class, Robert Bass was elected Holyoke High Representative for the annual Stu- dent Government Day. Other seniors honored in- cluded Paul Rainault, winner of the Time Current Event Test, and Eugene O,Donnell, selected by the faculty to represent Holyoke High at the N.C.C.J. Conference. Continuing in their winning ways, our swimming team again took the Pioneer Valley League and the Western Massachusetts Championships. Bringing honor to Holyoke High in another way were Martha Burke and Sandra Lawrence, chosen for the Colleen Court of the St. Patrickis Day Parade. This year, the knowledgeable senior boys wisely yielded to the faculty in the Student-Faculty game, a hilarious tradition at Holyoke High. Also in February, the Wycoff Park and Country Club was the setting of the Student Council Dance, a gay fcstivity, with checkered tablecloths and a sidewalk cafe illustrating the theme of 6'Paris in the Spring. In May, the Holyoke High players again demon- strated their abilities in the successful play, 4'The Miracle Worker. As we can see, it is these many events and occa- sions which have helped to make the last three years go by so quickly. And, although we are leaving Holyoke High and going on our separate ways, the memories of these things will remain with us forever. 49 ST BEST Jonoflww 2QJ0!WD , , . I vkri K. .V , kk , l KAY A.

Dr. Edward S. Lynch, Class of 1927, is vice-president of Westinghouse Electric International Co. DR. EDWARD S. LYNCH Valedictorian of the Class of 1932, Dr. Homer E. Newell is the associate administrator for space science and applications for the National Aeronautic and Space Administration. He was prominent among the scientists taking part in the Ranger 7 shot in August, 1964. DR. HOMER NEWELL Dr. James H. Wakelin Jr. Class of 1928, resigned in May, 19641, from his position as Assistant Secretary of the Navy. According to Paul Nitze, Secretary of the Navy, Dr. Wakelin made a truly out- standing and enduring contributionf, DR. JAMES WAKELIN Class Oration On Sunday, our three years as students at HHS will become a thing of the past, and we, the Class of 1964-, having successfully reached a milestone in our training for college or business, will be together as a group for the final time. But, our duties as students will not end simultaneously with our graduation. To perpe- tuate the fruits of our struggles, to hold fast to our ideals through success and through fail- ure, to concentrate our energies while striving to attain greater and greater heights of learning, to employ our training at HHS for the betterment of mankind-all these duties will still be ours as students. We shall no longer be students of academics, but rather stu- dents of life. Our schooling does not consist wholly in facts gleaned out of books, it consists, also, in our ability to utilize such information. We have been taught to realize that learning of itself is not sufficient, but that we must put that learning to good use, in order to develop further our inherent intelligence. The scholastic triumphs that have been won by our class are largely to be attributed to the way that our parents and teachers have trained us to garner the fruits of learning. If, then, we may judge the future by the past, we realize that, though our training at HHS is completed, we must not abandon ourselves to sloth and trifling. We must never stop being students, and a student's whole life is one long and never-ceasing encounter with the foes of learning. While at school, we have studied our lessons out of textbooks. In the future, life itself will be our textbook. At this time, the world is in a great turmoil, there are many domestic and secular prob- lems with which this nation must cope. And we, the students of today, will have to con- tend with these problems. On Sunday, four distinguished HHS graduates of an earlier generation, who have gone on to become outstanding successes in their chosen fields, will return to their alma mater. We are proud of these HHS alumni, but I am certain that we, the Class of 19641, will also carry the name of HHS with dignity, if we continue to be humble, graceful, and understanding as we pursue our goals in future days. Eugene O'Donnell Last Will and Testament The Class of Nineteen-Hundred Sixty-Four We, the Class of nineteen hundred sixty-four, City of Holyoke, County of Hampden, Commonwealth of Mass- achusetts, and one-hundredth graduating Class of Holyoke High School, being of sound mind and memory, do hereby make, publish, and declare this document to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking any will or wills here- tofore made by us.

Item VII To the Sophomores-the all too common excuses we Seniors use: Honest, I had to run from the third floor of the annex to the third floor of the main building. I just had to stop traffic on my way over from the annex. I just couldn't remember my locker combina- tion. l 222 Item VIII To the Juniors-the honor of being Seniors and thereby having the best seats in the audi- torium, also the distinction of being the first graduating class from the new building, and fi- nally, a set of oars.

Item XIX To Miss Austin and Miss Tyrell-long and happy retirements. Item XX To Mr. Falvey-a choir which will never graduate. Item XXI To Mr. McDonough-a pocket-dictionary for his trip to Germany next year. Item XXII To the office secretaries-a special assist- ant to help publish those extra-long lists which just seem to pop up every day. Item XXIII To the swim team-another banquet and jackets too, but more important a special jacket for Coach Lawson, better known as Nelson Corpone.

Item XXXIV To Next Year's Class Officers and Class Day Committee-an early start on your Class Day Program-youill really need it. Item XXXV To Holyoke High School--the safe transfer of all the fond memories and secrets kept within the walls of the past buildings in the last one-hundred years of education. Item XXXVI To the Class of 1964-great success and happiness in the future and the realization that we were the best class ever to attend Holyoke High. Item XXXVII Having duly disposed of our bequests. we the Class of '64 draw this our LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT to a close. In Witness Thereof, we, the Class of 1964, do hereby set our hand and seal, this 12th day of June, in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and sixty-four, in the presence of the following witnesses: Mary-Louise Cahill Henry O'Connor Peter Kinney Joanne Dunleavy Vice-President, Class of 1964 223 Farewell Address Having journeyed together successfully for the past three years, we have made ac- quaintances, built friendships and formed mutual interests. This journey has now come to an end. We must disembark and go our separate ways to the tasks for which we have been preparing and to the work that awaits our skill. We are looking out to an unknown sea, what lies there for each of us God alone knows. We know not Whither we goest, but we do know that this graduation marks the beginning of a new life for each and every one of us-a life that will be filled with many opportunities, but many hardships as well. We must meet and overcome the tremendous obstacles that will confront us. Let us take up this task with courage, with faith, and with confidence. Let us pray that Almighty Cod will bless each of us and will help us to become good men and women, a joy to our parents, and a credit to our school. It is difficult to say good-bye to our joyful school days, to the friends with whom we have worked, played, and shared memories for the past three years. Our history has been re- viewed, and our future has been indicated, now all that remains is our final parting. Each grad- uate of the class of 1964+ has his or her special memory to which he must bid farewell. To our class leaders there was the joy of seeing one of their projects, either the completed Annual, the printed Herald, or a successful prom, please the members of our class, to our scholars there was the pleasure of seeing their name on the Honor Roll, and to our athletes there was the thrill and excitement of participating in an athletic event. As each of us have different memories of our school days, many of the same memories are shared by all of us. Today we must say '4Farewell', to the creaking corridors of the third floor, the lunch- room rush, the tension of exams and the forever needed blue-slips. We must bid Good- bye to the excitement and suspense of the basketball, baseball and football games, to the fun we shared at the Union Dances, to the busy activity of the various clubs, and to the mad dash to the Annex on a rainy day. We are bidding farewell not only to Holyoke High School but also to the learned men and women of the faculty who have been our friends and advisors throughout our school years. We wish to say Thank you for your friendly advice and wise counseling. We would like to express our deepest appreciation for the sympathetic understanding you have shown to us, and we hope that in the future our success will bring you joy. Our last farewells are to one another. Our days at Holyoke High School would not have been complete without friends to share our joys and sorrows. The farewell we say today is however quite different from the good-bye we have said in the past, because then we knew that we would be seeing our friends in a few minutes, a few hours, or a few days. Perhaps some of us will 'never meet again. Graduates . . . let us use all that we are bid- ding farewell to as a link, a link that will join us together, helping us to attain the goal that we have strived for-the goal of success.
