The class officers were as follows: — President, Raymond Warner: Vice President, William McArdle: Treasurer, James Lague: Secretary Statia Stra- hoska. Too soon the second year slipped into the past and we found ourselves on the threshold of our senior year — our last at Dear Old Tech . It is with pride that we survey our past accomplishments — proficiency in studies, sports and socials. We are truly seniors. — suave, fun-loving yet dignified, masters of all with which we have come in contact, yet saddened that we must leave our school and our classmates. Our officers for this vital year were as follows: — President. Raymond Warner: Vice-President. William McArdle: Treasurer, James Lague: Secretary, Statia Strahoska. In spite of the devastating effect caused by the depression, our class ran two successful Senior class dances, both financially and socially. Much credit being due to the various committees comprised of John Munroe. James Lague, Louis Brody, John Frodyma, Roger Gentilhomme and Norman Gobeil. Naturally our class was outstanding in athletics. In soccer Captain Al DeMarest led McArdle, Clarke and Gobeil. While in basketball Billy Clarke was captain, and McArdle, DeMarest, Gobeil, York, Lague and Williams helped make the seniors supreme. Tennis will no doubt depend on Delano. Clarke. Warner, Mikus and Williams. It is assured Bill McArdle will lead in baseball with Clarke. Delano, Lague, De- Marest, Gobeil and Munroe as able assistants. Here must be recalled the Seniors ' undefeated, untied, football team. As Freshmen we organized a team to play the Seniors. We won easily. Since then we have played all challengers and still we are undefeated. After mid-year finals our plans for the Senior Prom and Graduation caused us to study with a new zeal to prepare for the last few weeks of school. Early preparations for the Finals left our undivided attention for complete enjoyment of our Prom held at Finn ' s. And did we enjoy it! Commencement, with all its dignified formalities, successfully crowns our careers at tech. Soon, with the aid of our trusty diplomas we expect to step into the business world to carry on with continued success. To those who follow, we leave the school and its traditions, knowing that they will strive to their utmost to carry on in our places. To the school, its faculty and its various aides, we wish to express, not only our appreciation for their efforts, but also the sincerity with which they shaped our various careers. Now if the class of 1933 will bear in mind it ' s motto. Strive to Succeed , they will go far towards reaching their goal. 14

1933 THE FABRICATOR CLASS HISTORY BEFORE the graduation of the Class of ' 33 necessitates our leaving the stately- portals of New Bedford Textile School, let us drift back and review some of the outstanding events of the last three years. This period has been a happy mixture of books, sports, socials and a desire to understand and help one another. Our successes during this period will be invaluable to our future, and it is only with regret that we see our school days drawing to a close. Let us reminisce. It is with a smile now that we visualize that dreaded day when some irresistible force drew us to Textile for registration. What a sight met our startled eyes — lordly seniors — pompous juniors — burly letter men. Is it any wonder that our insignificant attempts to be recognized were met with disdain. To complete the demoralizing of our scattered wits we heard a roaring, Coome! which nearly started a stampede. After a week of uneasiness it dawned on us what a fine bunch of fellows attended Textile and a rosy future awaited us under the friendly guardianship of the upper classmen: — as the lofty seniors reached down to help us out of the rut in which we felt we had fallen. Lectures and books appeased our thirst for knowledge, under the apt tutorship of various members of the faculty. To the faculty we owe not only our higher education but the creating in us a desire to acquire lofty ideals and a dignity that was to prove unimpeachable. The theoretical and the practical were to be imparted to us in a manner that gave us a thorough understanding for future reference. Soon the necessity for class officers was realized and the class leaders were chosen. The officers being: — President, John Munroe; Vice President, David York; Treasurer, Roger J. Gentilhomme; Secretary, Statia Strahoska. After we became accustomed to the routine we were soon pledged to the various fraternities. Freshman material did much to make the soccer team a success, those making the grade were Clarke, DeMarest and McArdle. After soccer came basketball and we were represented with Clarke, Mc- Ardle, Baldwin, York, Williams and Gobeil. Baseball found McArdle, Clarke, DeMarest, Gobeil, Lague and Munroe. To complete our first year at Textile we successfully passed the finals — the toughest hurdle to be overcome. The second year was eagerly awaited and in the Fall we returned to carry on our careers. The soccer pitch found Clarke, McArdle, Gobeil, DeMarest, Munroe, Anderson, Yosefek, Jasionek. The basketball court found McArdle, Clarke, York, Gobeil, DeMarest, Anderson, Galligan, and Williams. Tennis called Warner, Delano, Clarke, Mikus, Anderson, York and Williams. Baseball 13
