aie) oR + aint - “5 THE BROWNIE 1941 Cohe “Brownie.” IQ4I DEDICATION We, the Class of '4l1, do hereby dedicate The 1941 Brownie to Mr. John W. Wood as a to- ken of our honor and esteem. his enthusiastic devotion to duty as well as his sincerity and understanding have endeared him to us all. May he help to develop many future generations of Rindge men. IQ4I Che Brownie” IQ4I THE HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 194) SEPTEMBER 13, 1937 TO JUNE II, [941 FRESHMEN On September 13, 1937, at ten o’clock, the largest class yet to enter Rindge met in the Edward W. Quinn Auditorium to receive program cards. For several weeks thereafter, the class of °41, the tiniest and newest ‘frosh’, wandered be- wildered through a maze of endless corridors, peering anxiously at hundreds of doors to find the one with the right number. Seven times daily our short legs, encased in their new longies, churned manfully to take us in two minutes flat over the Corridor Course in the Inter-Period Walkathon. And the obstacles in that race! Stairways - One Way! - in the other direction. Slippery and very hard floors! Square turns! Swinging doors! Open locker doors! Race officials stationed every twenty feet over the course, eager to detain us at 2:06 should we cheat and run! Those of us who did run (and who didn’t) paid for our gallop plus additional time for covering th e course in more than par. How we struggled to open those lockers! In vain we prayed that Mr. Banks and Mr. Moore would let us make stools that we might reach that upper section of which we had heard reports. But these were minor tribulations as we learned when the death of Mr. Joseph R. Little was announced to us. Mr. Little had taught some of us Materials of Industry; he had coached others of us on the JV football squad; he was friend and counsellor to all of us. In January, 1938, the Rindge ‘Pucksters’ undefeated, won the Greater Boston Interscholastic Hockey Trophy and went on to conquer new fields in New York City and Washington during the Feb- ruary vacation. SOPHOMORES Storm signals were flown from Sandy Hook to Eastport, Maine. Trees were uprooted. Signs were torn from their moorings. Steeples rocked ontheir foundations. Roofs, conscientious for years past, lost their grip and sailed away. The historic hurricane of 1938 heralded and marked forever the graduation of °41 into the ranks of the upper classmen. Truly we had become important men. For, after the noise and tumult that hailed our initiation into the rank of Sophomores had subsided, two days vacation were granted the entire school system that all might recuperate fully from the celebration. During our Sophomore year two events took place which helped us to appreciate the meaning of the phrase ‘school spirit’. In November the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of Rindge was celebrated; in December our first co-operative class effort was the production of the annual Christmas play. On Friday and Saturday, November 11 and 12, 1938, the citizens of our city joined with the alumni, faculty and student body in celebrating the school’s fiftieth birthday. Many of us marched in the parade that preceeded the Lynn-Rindge football game on Friday. The program for this cele- bration will be found elsewhere in this volume. On the day school closed for the annual Christmas holidays, the Sophomore class presented to an appreciative audience a dramatization of Dickens’ ‘A Christmas Carol’. Mr. William S. Lynch direc- ted this production. This was our first effort as a class working as a unit to do something for Rindge. Proud we justly are of that effort. Our Sophomore year was saddened by the death, during the hurricane, of Mr. Saville Moore. IQAI “(6She “Brownie.” 1941 JUNIORS The world was shaken by the events of September, 1939. In the United States our class became Juniors; in Europe, World War II broke out. Both events were remarkable chiefly for the ‘blitz- krieg’ of that fall and winter. Spring came. And with it the realization that 50 s never produce an average of 60. So the ‘Battle of the Books’ began. In this corner, a man armed with his ‘little black book of bad boys’ in which, like Gabriel, he noted faithfully our failures, all of them, and we hoped our successes; and, in this corner, a boy armed with a textbook, paper, and occasionally a pencil. The winnah? As Juniors we became organized; we held our first elections. Jack Sugrue was elected President; Don Lorenzo, Vice-President; Art Lee, Treasurer; and, Eddie Aroyan, Secretary. Immediately the officers organized the Junior Council and instituted the practice of collecting monthly dues from the individual class members. The Junior Prom on May 12 at the Elks’ Lodge Room in Central Square was a social success, a fin- ancial failure. ‘The Star Duster’, Rindge alumni, furnished the music. Those who could not ‘jive’ did not attend but resolved to join Mr. Ladd’s dancing class in the fall. Miss Pike, Miss Cassidy, Mr. Diehl, Mr. Haugh, Miss Mosher and Mr. Wood were guests of the class. Mr. Mahony assisted the Officers in making the arrangements for this affair. « Two events saddened our Junior Year. Mr. John R. Curry, Oral English teacher and baseball coach, died. George Kesselhuth, co-captain elect of football, was obliged to leave school because of the death of his father. As Juniors we had come to appreciate the scenery in the vicinity of the Public Library at one fifty each day. Our keen delight in watching ‘the Fords go by’ led us to resolve as vacation began in June to give Barrymore, Nelson Eddy and Tyrone Power serious competition for the title of ‘All American Romeo’. ; SENIORS A martial atmosphere marked our induction into the status of Seniors. The talk, early in Sept- ember, of drafting America’s manpower between the ages of 18 and 45 was complimentary and fright- ening, too. For we had scarcely come to realize that we are men with the responsibilities of men. It was with a sense of relief that we learned that the lowest age limit of the Selective Ser- vice Act is twenty-one. Now, most of us could complete our high school career without interuption. Yet, three Seniors have been affected by our national defense program. Ricardo Poncé was mobil- ized when the National Guard was inducted into the federal service; William P. Jones was called into active service by the Navy; and Cornelius O’Leary was called to work at the Navy Yard in Charlestown. Members of the faculty, too, have been talled into the nation’s armed forces. Mr. Joseph Freni was mobilized with his National Guard unit in January; Mr. Hugh Curry was selected for Army Ser- vice inMarch; and in April, Mr. Arthur Morash was called to active service as Lieutenant -Commander in the Navy. Anumber of other teachers are awaiting the callof their local Selective Service: Boards. Senior class officers elected in November were William P. Mullane, President; Henry Sartanowicz, Vice-President; Edward Stankus, Treasurer; and Edward Shine, Secretary. As in our freshman year, we saw a Rindge championship team - the ‘hoopsters’ this time - set out for New York and Washington in search of new fields to conquer. For a time there was some doubt concerning the publication of the 1941 ‘Brownie’. Apprised of the difficulties, the class got behind this project and thanks to their cooperation we accomplish- ed what had been considered impossible. We were unable to present the usual ‘Football Night’ but our Senior Drama ‘Night Must Fall’ was a huge success. Again °41 was responsible for a world shattering event. For the first time in his- tory a Rindge Senior Drama had girls cast in the feminine roles; and Francis Willard, a refugee from Vienna by way of Prague and London, brought a real Oxford accent to his part. This, then, is the recorded history of RTS ‘41. What of the future? Joe McCarthy, Class Seer, has read the cards and gazed long and earnestly into his crystal. He tells all in the Class Pro- phecy which follows.

FIRST: to those we leave behind we bequeath a box of matches for use in heat- ing the ‘hot dogs’ sold in the lunch room. SECOND: we leave to the Safety Patrol large ‘One Way’ traffic signs to be in- stalled in the stairways so that freshmen may be prevented from charging upstairs leaving unwary upperclass men maimed in their path. THIRD: to the Juniors we leave our originality that Mr. McCabe may be spared the tedium of listening to the ‘old saws’ offered in explanation of being AWOL. FOURTH: we leave to our teachers, who are so anxiously awaiting our departure, the dreaded assurance that some of us will be back as PG’s in September. FIFTH: to Mr. Haugh we leave the wish that some one, some day, some how will know what to do with the library book cards without his having to go into a len- gthy, detailed, monosyllabic explanation. SIXTH: to ‘The Register’ staff we leave a definite schedule so that the stu- dents may know exactly when the paper is to be issued. SEVENTH: to the Juniors we leave our book reports and Senior Essays. EIGHTH: we leave the textbooks with missing pages to that group of students who never ‘cracks’ a book. NINTH: to the student body and all future Rindge students we leave the earnest hope and desire that with them the splendid traditions of Rindge will continue and that the Rindge spirit will signify for them what it does for us: happy memories and high standards to be kept high.

The Elks’ Lodge Room was the scene of this social success and ‘The Star Dusters’, Rindge alumni, furnished the music. While this event was a financial disaster, those few Juniors who attended enjoyed the dance very much. THE SENIOR DRAMA The Rindge Senior Drama is an annual institution. When the custom was first in- troduced, the Drama was an exceedingly humble and unpretentious affair. Audiences did not expect, and so were not disappointed, professional or even good amateur acting from high school students. Hence, if the acting were not too crude and the evening’s entertainment proved moderately exciting, the Drama was regarded as a success. Yet, as time passed, plays of greater difficulty were attempted until in recent years our productions have all been from the professional stage. Naturally, every Senior class praises its own drama. But the class of '41 has every reason to be proud of its production. ‘Night Must Fall’ is, perhaps, one of the most exciting of murder mysteries. Emlyn Williams, its author, directed its initial production and played the leading role on the introduction of this play to the London boards, whence it came to Broadway. In past years when a Rindge actor appeared on the stage in feminine attire a roar of laughter greeted him and the desired effect was lost. To obviate this dif - ficulty, five girls, students at the High and Latin School, were invited to por- tray the feminine parts in the Drama. We are most grateful for their cooperation. Each member of the cast portrayed his part with earnestness and sincerity. Cer- tainly the cast’s performance in this difficult play thrilled a huge and critical audience, The Class of '41 wishes to express its gratitude to all who shared in making the Drama the success it was. To Mr. Henry O. Delaney, Director, and to Mr. Walter H. Gomes, Stage Manager, and to Mr. John Y. Murray, Electrician, the Senior Class is particularly grateful. THE SENIOR RECEPTION The Senior Recept ion is still in the planning stage. It will be held on the evening following graduation at the Walker Memorial Hall at M.I.T. The Committee plans to surpass the grand time offered last year. IQ4I “@he Brownies” | IQAI 7 THE GLEE CLUB Mr. Benedict Fitzgerald inaugurated the Glee Club in 1931. The pressure of his supervisory ac- tivities forced him to turn the direction of the Club over to Mr. Hugh Curry in 1937. Since then, and until his induction into the Army, Mr. Curry has worked long and hard to pre- pare the Club for its many appearances at our assemblies, before the general public, and for our radio debut over WCOP in 1940. The following members of 1941 have been Glee Club members: Arthur Arseneaux, 1937-1941 Edward Harmon, 1939-1941 Richard Bee, 1937-1941 Jack Stevens, 1939-1941 Edward L. Jackson, 1938-1941 Warren Eastman, 1940-1941 Daniel Maher, 1938-1941 Peter Jones, 1940-1941 Leslie Reed, 1938-1941 Patrick Vignale, 1940-1941 THE DEBATING CLUB The Debating Club is the youngest of the Rindge clubs. Because we are so young our activities, thus far, have been limited to intra-mural debates, but we hope soon to take part in several inter- scholastic debates. The Club has met once each: week to enjoy a formal debate or a discussion of some topic of general interest. During-the 1940-41 school year, the officers of the Club have been: President -- _ Lawrence Farwell, °42 Vice President -- Edward Ryan, °42. Treasurer -- Edward Herbert, °42 Secretary -- Al Mazutaitis, °42 Advisor -- Mr. Paul G. Dugan THE CAMERA CLUB The Camera Club is under the direction of Mr. Peter J. Cassidy and is one of the most popular and active of the school’s organizations. The Camera Club took all the pictures of the class of 41 which appear in this volume. The Club’s quarters have recently been renovated by the WPA and as a result we can expect that the activities and membership of this organization will be expanded. THE GOLF CLUB Since its inception in 1937, the Golf Club has been under the direction of Mr. William P. Berk- eley. From the beginning this club has accepted mer:bers who have been unable to play golf and has taught them to do so. The more experienced members of the Golf Club have participated in several school-boy tournaments and have been a credit to Rindge and its reputation in the world of sports. THE RADIO CLUB The Radio Club is an aggregation of fellows interested in amateur radio. The Club has been under the direction of Mr. Arthur Morash. During the weekly meetings members have built sets for use at home and have had much needed code practice. Members have also been hard at work building a trans- mitter for use in the amateur radio broadcasting activities of the school. The 1940-41 officers of the Radio Club are: President |. -- Howard I. Stone Vice President -- George Harpell Secretary -- Wesley Mansir Chief Operator -- Tom Lally 7 THE CHEMISTRY CLUB The Chemistry Club is under the direction of Mr. Samuel J. Cohen. Weekly meetings have been held at some of which individual members have entertained the membership with unusual experiments and at others of which the Club has visited local factories to see at first hand the industrial im- plications of chemistry. During the past school year, the Club has functioned under the direction of these officers: President -- Paul J. Limm Vice President -- Manuel G. Koutrakis Secretary - -- John E. Campbell 1941 he “Brownie” IQ4I THE DANCING CLASS -No.outline-of the extra-curricular activities at Rindge can be complete unless the Dancing Class is mentioned. Although this Class is not sponsored by the school yet it is well patronized by Rindge-ites and it is sponsored by Mr. Lester W. Ladd. The members of the class can testify to the fact that this has been one subject it has been fun to learn. THE REGISTER In 1891 there was published for the first time a small four page magazine, of which Mr. Wood was associate editor. ‘The Register’ has changed greatly during the last fifty years and has grown with time into a larger and more complete newspaper. ‘The Register’ adheres to a conservative pol- icy and constantly reflects the news of Rindge as entirely written and printed by Rindge students. : ‘The Register’ is more than a school newspaper. It is an organization of fellows who are gain- ing first-hand a first class knowledge of journalism and are enjoying the co-operative and en- thusiastic spirit that is one of the rewards of being on the staff. It is to Mr. Richert, Mr. Gomes and Mr. Haugh, who have volunteered to give their time and assistance, and a great deal of each, to us in the publication of ‘The Register’ that the members oof the 1940-41 staff extend appreciation. __It is our hope that ‘The Register’ as the voice of the students and a history of school life will continue to be an inseparable part of Rindge. THE SAFETY PATROL The Safety Patrol is the student policing organization directed by Mr. Vincent P. Burke. The Patrol’s chief duty is to cooperate with the teachers on duty there that the Cafeteria may be kept a pleasant place in which to eat. The Patrol also functions as guides at our semi-annual Parent- Teacher Meeting. SPORTS REVIEW FOOTBALL The football squad experienced a fairly successful season though riddled with injuries. Bob Poirier captained the squad but a leg injury kept him off the gridiron the greater part of the season. After an impressive opening game in which Fitchburg was defeated the Brownies dropped the next two games to Haverhill and Gardner 7-0. Next the eleven journeyed to. the Watch City where the Bulldogs were vanquished by Bill Bingham’s 102 yard dash. This was a 7-0 win for us. Then Coach Metivier’s charges went into the Lawrence game with a 50-50 chance of winning but were set back 16-6. Another defeat was administered by the Class B Wakefield High eleven. Rindge trounced CHLS 13-0 and thus retained the City Cham- pionship title. Lynn English was obliged to forfeit their win over us by reason of a controversy over the age of Captain Al Delaney. Because of snow, the annual Rindge-Somerville traditionally played on Thanks- giving morning was postponed and finally cancelled. This was the third time the game was postponed since the series had been instituted in 1893, The season’s record summed up to 4 wins and 4 losses. The Seniors who performed were: Joseph McCarthy, Robert Poirier, Paul Dotten, and Roy Jackson. IQ4I Cohe “Brownie” IO4I BASEBALL The baseball nine was badly maimed by the 1940 graduation, but as we go to press Coach William McLaughlin’s team is hitting the final stretch of an in and out season. Rindge won the opener against Revere but after that did not fare so well. Jeff Peazg@er, veteran pitcher, was put out of action by a sore arm and his absence of three weeks seriously crippled the team. A rookie infield consisted of Bill Metivier at first base, Vito Pilkins at sec- ond base, Leroy Haynes, shortstop, and Bob Verrier at third. The outfield consisted of Captain Raphael LaSala, Gene McPhelim, Duncan Callender. Malcolm Darrah, William Monahan, Charles St. Peter and William Powers were also called on regularly to play. The squad was separated into two divisions: the varsity and the junior varsity. Mr. McLaughlin coached the varsity eleven and Mr. Tierney coached the J.V.’s. Seniors on the nine were Charlie St. Peter, Jeff Frazier, Stan Pladziewicz, Moon Monahan, Rap LaSala, Gene McPhelim and Herry Haf lich. TRACK During our four years at Rindge the Track Team has continued to be one of the outstanding units in the state. The team was regarded so highly that it was boosted into Class A competition. Throughout the indoor season the squad was second only to Mechanic Arts, 1941 Class A champions. The relay team made the finals of the Eastern Seaboard Relay Carnival but was unable to finish. In one of the major meets of the season spon- sored by Northeastern University the team placed second as Kennedy won the 600 yard run and Captain Jerome Lewis won the high jump event. The team coached by Mr. Thomas F. Duffy came in third in the Andover Academy Meet. At this event Jerome Lewis won the high jump and hurdles event. Francis Ken- nedy won the 600 yard run and the relay runners beat the Mechanic Arts representa- tives. In the Meet sponsored by the Massachusetts Coaches, Rindge took second place. The climax of the indoor season came with the winning of the Bowdoin Meet. Conrad won the dash, Kennedy the 600 and Lewis was voted the outstanding individual par- ticipant and captured the hurdles and high jumping honors. The lettermen are: Jerome Lewis, Charles West, Anthony Breen, Francis Kennedy, ' William Cannon, Ralph King, Dominic Papaleo, Edward Taylor, Gordon Bourne, Nicholas Jais, Edward Jackson, Edward Harmon, Edward McNulty, Arthur Madden,:- Robert Carley, Curtis Cusiter, and Barton Conrad. IQ41.. “he Brownies” IQ4I BASKETBALL Basketball at Rindge had its best season ever during the 1940-41 season. The team was composed. of five. veterans who played practically the entire season. The iron men were: Peter Smer las, guard; Frank Paglierani, guard; Manual Kardulas, for- ward; Albert Allen, center; and Angleo Panis, forward. The last three named were members of °41. The team, coached by the capable Mr. Murphy, was undefeated in its league com- petition. As a result the quintet were invited to participate in the Tech Tourney, and they emerged from this ordeal victorious. ‘The victory ‘at the Tech Tourney won the squad an invitation to take part in the New England Basketball Tournament in Manchester, New Hampshire. The team reached the finals before being subdued by the Bristol (Connecticut) High School team. As a re- ward for their fine work, the basketball squad was sent on a trip to New York City and Washington during the May vacation. HOCKEY Hockey had its most successful season since Rindge won the Eastern Seaboard Championship four years ago. The team finished fourth in league standing. But for the fact that Coach William H. Mahoney had only one scoring line con- sisting of Romeo Gagnon, Edward Benoit and Robert Verrier the team might easily have won the Greater Boston League Championship. A second line composed of Henry Moulton, Leo Desrosiers and Eugene McPhelim alternated with the first line. Four Seniors are Hockey lettermen: Poirier, E. Phaneuf, McPhelim and Haflich. THE SENIOR COUNCIL Immediately after the election of the Senior Class Officers, the members of the Senior Council were selected with the cooperation of the teachers of Senior sub- jects. At the first Council meeting there were approximately 40 members, but in time the membership was reduced to 20 workers. . er } ’ ‘From the outset the Council had two objectives: the successful conduct of class affairs under the general direction of Mr. Mahoney; and the organization of the en- tire student body, under the direction of Mr. L. Fitzgerald, for the benefit of the school and the individual student. Members of. the Senior Council were well represented on the committees formed to conduct the several class affairs. It must be admitted that the members of the Se- nior Council have been the backbone of the class because as individuals each has wished the class of '41 to be a success.

Half a century has passed er a eae ae Cambridge, Massachusetts, November I-12, 1938 by founding the Cambridge Manual Training School, the second of its type in America. Since 1888 the school he so generously established and for several years endowed, has become an integral and important part of the Cambridge school system. It has grown to many times its original size and has broadened its curriculum to keep pace with the chan ging technological needs of our modern world. Now housed in a new building of architectural beauty, with laboratories and shops equipped beyond the dreams of the founder, it enters its second half century enhanced by tradition yet possessed of a youthful vitality which promises well for the future. More noteworthy even than its physical growth has been the increase in num- bers of the boys who have crowded Rindge’s portals to enter the great ranks of Rindge men. To these men the Fiftieth Birthday of the school is a matter of pride and a cause for celebration. As a part of that celebration this book has been compiled. It is hoped that it will render more vivid their memories and their knowledge of the history of the school. Perhaps this book may give others some insight as to the events and personalities which are woven into the story of Rindge. Perhaps it may serve as an inspiration to many boys yet to come and direct their footsteps to Rindge. It should serve as a reminder to Rindge alumni of the semi-centennial of their school and it is hoped earnestly that in future years a scanning of its pages will give them pleasure. ind ye BECOMES A REALITY In writing the following letter, Frederick H. Rindge brought to a successful conclusion an idea which for years had been formulating in his mind. Hon. William E. Russell:— Dear Sir,—It would make me happy to give the City of Cambridge, provided no considerable mis- fortune happens to my property within two years from date, three gifts, which are described herein. Third, an Industrial School Building, ready for use, together with a site for the same in the imme- diate neighborhood of the Public Library Common, provided the following inscription, in metal or stone letters, be placed on the outside of said building and over its main entrance door: “‘Work is one of our greatest blessings; every one should have an honest occupation.” I wish the plain arts of industry to be taught in this school. I wish the school to be especially for boys of average talents, who may in it learn how their hands and arms can earn food, clothing, and shelter for themselves; how, after a while, they can support a family and a home; and how the price of these blessings is faithful industry, no bad habits, and wise economy,—which price, by the way, is not dear. I wish also that in it they may become accustomed to being under authority, and be now and then instructed in the laws that govern health, and nobility of character. I urge that admittance to said school be given only to strong boys, who will grow up to be able working men. Strict obedience to such a rule would make parents careful in the training of their young, as they know that their boys would be deprived of the benefits of said school unless they were able-bodied. I think the Industrial School would thus graduate many young men who would prove themselves useful citizens. I ask you to present this communication to the City Government of Cambridge and notify me of its action in relation to it. Should the gifts, with their conditions, be accepted, I hope to proceed at once with the work. Respectfully yours, FreprErRIcK H. RInpGE At a special meeting of the city council, held November 12, 1887, the following resolution was unanimously adopted :— “Resolved, that the city of Cambridge accepts with deep gratitude the munificent gifts of Frederick H. Rindge, as expressed in his letter of November 3, 1887, to the mayor. In accepting said gifts it desires to signify to him its profound and lasting appreciation of his great generosity and public spirit.” k Messrs. Rotch Tilden were selected as archi- tects. Ground was broken July 12, 1888, and the building was ready for use on the first of October following. The late Harry Ellis had the complete charge of the erection and equipment of the school, and later was chosen as its superintendent. To his constant, faithful, able service and unselfish devo- tion to the interests of the school and its pupils was due its great success. “The building is of Romanesque style of archi- tecture, and stands upon a generous lot of land at the corner of Broadway and Irving Street. It consists of a main building 70 by 62 feet, with wings 60 feet square. “The building and equipment cost about $100,000. The school, since its foundation, has been supported wholly by Mr. Rindge.” —Ex-Governor WiiLuiaAM E. Russeiu in The Cambridge of 1896 In the course of its fifty years, the name of the school has been changed three times. In accordance with the earnest wish of Mr. Rindge who had no desire for publicity and who would not allow his name to be used, the school was first called the Cambridge Manual Training School. When the school was given to the city, the name was changed to Rindge Manual Training School by the city fathers who wished to show their respect and appreciation for the great philanthropist. Later, in order to describe more accurately the work of the school, the name was again changed, at the sug- gestion of former Superintendent of Schools Frank Parlin, to that which it bears at present—Rindge Technical School. ind ye ce THE MAN FREDERICK HASTINGS RINDGE, philanthropist, col- lector, was the son of Samuel Baker and Clarissa (Harrington) Rindge of Cambridge, Mass., where he was born. Five brothers and sisters all died in childhood. His father, a shipping merchant and banker, was able to afford him ample opportunities for study and social life. He entered Harvard, but because of precarious health spent most of his senior year in Florida; he was granted his degree in 1890 as of the class of 1879. After a winter in Colorado, New Mexico, and California, in 1881 he entered a Boston commission house. Finding the northern climate injurious, however, he went to Los Angeles in 1882 and passed much of his time during the following years in California. In 1890 he purchased a ranch of 13,000 acres near Santa Monica, in the mountain canyon of: Rancho Topango Malibu, where he built a beautiful mansion and raised fruit, cattle and angora goats. In 1895 he named his home “Laudamus Farm.’ Becoming deeply inter- ested in aboriginal life on the Pacific coast, he made a collection of implements used by native races; these are now in the Peabody Museum, Harvard University. Another of his avocations was numis- matics, and his collection of over 5800 coins is in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. In 1887, when he was twenty-nine years old, he inherited $3,000,000 from his father. After long consultations with Colonel Thomas Wentworth Higginson and Mayor William E. Russell, he gave to Cambridge, Mass., funds for a Public Library, with 141,000 square feet of land; a school for manual training, a branch of instruction in which he was greatly interested; and a city hall. These he called “his didactic public buildings,” possibly because they bear long moralizing inscriptions, cut in the walls and gilded. MRindge’s religious tendencies were marked and he wrote a number of books giving expression to his beliefs and feelings—all privately printed—among which were “Can You Read Your Title Clear to a Mansion in the Sky?” (1889) and “The Best Way” (1902). He built Methodists Churches in Cambridge and Santa Monica to foster the spread of his own faith. Sunday Schools in the South and Young Men’s Christian Association movement shared in his gen- erosity. In 1888 he gave Lowell, or Cat, Island, comprising fifteen acres, to the Children’s Island FrepeEriIck Hastines RINDGE Dec. 21, 1857—Aug. 29, 1905 Sanitarium at Salem, Mass. He also made donations to the American University, Washington, D. C. and to the University of Southern California. In business his mind worked along constructive lines, and he fostered companies dealing with elec- tricity, oil, artesian wells, navigation, and insurance. The Middle River Navigation and Canal Company and the Rindge Navigation and Canal Company, two concerns in which he was largely interested, reclaimed about 25,000 acres of bottom lands near Stockton, California. The Artesian Water Company which he controlled, carried on a real estate and colonization project in the state of Sinaloa, Mexico, covering a million acres of choice lands. He was proud of his New England origin, and belonged to many patriotic societies. Until the destruction of his home by fire two years before his death, he continued to live on his ranch. Thereafter he resided at Santa Monica, and later at Los Angeles. His summers were spent at Marblehead, Mass. On May 17, 1887 he was married at Trenton, Michigan, to Rhoda May Knight, and they had three children. He died suddenly at Yreka, Siskiyou County, California. —Dictionary of American Biography, Vol. XV. sale PAST AND PRESENT MR. HARRY ELLIS crowded a great deal of splendid work into his regrettably short life, and found room to crowd a great many boys into his heart. From the age of seventeen until his death at thirty-five he was the inspired and fine friend of countless Cambridge boys. His first step as a leader was taken when he formed two classes of boys in the cellar of his home—classes in mechanical study. For several years he assisted in boys’ aid work, giving liberally of his time and purse to this admirable philanthropy. In 1888 when the Cambridge Manual Training School was in project he was offered the position of superintendent, and the correspondence of the late Hon. William Russell, Colonel T. W. Higginson and others praised him in glowing terms. He accepted the position and thoroughly justified their confidence in him. As superintendent of the Manual Training School he continued on a large scale the work begun in his own workshop, now leading scores of boys with new and satisfying facilities made possible through the generosity of Mr. Rindge. His one-time experience in the West at that stage in American history when the railroads were opening up in that area, gave him insight into problems of administration and organization invaluable in the school’s formative years. Also his connection with military affairs gave him a regard for discipline and a talent in exercising it. His admirably disciplined fire-drill corps became a source of civic pride to all Cambridge. Mr. Ellis was made a member of the National Fire Chiefs Association and an honorary member of the Mass. Fire Chiefs Association. He was also a member of the New England Conference of Educational Workers. At one time he was offered the head- mastership of the Mechanics Arts High School in Boston, but he could not be induced to leave his Cambridge trust. When he was only thirty-five Harry Ellis died after a short severe illness. The public services of his funeral were held at the School where all his former students gathered to mourn him. In the words of Dr. McKenzie, the eulogist, “We must leave him here, the victor, conscious of a life not long but very large.” CHARLES H. MORSE was the second superintendent of the Cambridge Manual Training School, succeeding Harry Ellis at the time of the latter’s death. He was born in Derry, N. H. For some years he was a submaster at the Webster Grammar School. In 1890 he transferred from there to the Manual Train- ing School. While a teacher of mathematics he became in- terested in electricity and served as superintendent of wires for the City of Cambridge. He had a nat- ural aptitude for electricity, amounting almost to genius and had to his credit several patents in elec- trical signalling. He chose however, to devote himself to school work and upon the death of Harry Ellis was appointed principal of the manual train- ing school. A man of striking personality and ap- pearance he left on the school an indelible mark. He served as principal for twelve years. After that time the Massachusetts State Board of Educa- tion organized a department of industrial education under Professor Paul H. Hanna of Harvard, and Mr. Morse was chosen as the first executive officer of this department. After completing the organiza- tion of this work he resigned and took up residence in California where he devoted his time to business interests. He died there in 1934. JOHN W. WOOD entered the Cambridge Manual Training School as a student in 1890. Today, forty-eight years later, on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the school, he is the headmaster. He has been probably the greatest single influence in its development and has directed the course of its history more than any one man. He has helped Rindge grow from a small experimental institution to an accepted, time tested leader in the field of technical secondary education in the United States. John Wood finished the three year course at C. M. T. 5. in 1893 and the four year course in 1894. After graduating from Harvard in 1898 he returned to Rindge to teach machine shop. For the next few years Mr. Wood taught mathematics and physics, and in 1901 became head of the science department. At the time of Mr. Morse’s resignation in 1907 he succeeded to the headmastership. Since that year he has guided the destiny of the school through years that have brought expansion and change, war and peace, prosperity and depression, to the present triumph of the Semi-centennial. Few institutions have been as fortunate in having as leader a man who was instilled in his youth with the ideals of the founders, and who matured alert and sensitive to the rapid strides of modern tech- nology and progressive methods of education. Some indication of the wide esteem in which Mr. Wood is held beyond the boundaries of Rindge may be shown in the honors that various profes- sional societies have paid him. He is vice president of the Headmasters Association, past president of the American Association of Technical High Schools and Institutes, director of the New England Asso- ciation of Mechanical Drawing Teachers, past president of the Cambridge Teachers’ Club, member of the Harvard Engineering Society, past president of the Harvard Teachers’ Association, and president of the Alumni of the Harvard School of Education. He holds the degree of Master of Education from Harvard. Today as thousands of Rindge men gather from all over the country to celebrate Rindge’s golden jubilee in the modern school he did so much to plan and achieve, the pride and affection which each one holds for “The Old School” are united with the personal affection and loyalty of every student, alumnus and teacher for Mr. Wood.

Ware was the inspiring head of the mechanical drawing department. At his death in 1916, the boys of the many classes he had taught contributed for the installation of a stained glass window for the hall of the old Rindge school, and for a fund to provide a prize to be given each year to the boy whose work in mechanical or architectural] drawing shows the best solution to a problem. This contest has always been restricted to the members of the senior and post-graduate classes. The prize usually consists of a fine set of drawing instruments.

Shop ine ‘tment a Mach Depar rking W oodwo C.M.T. S. te ee Forty-four years after graduation I still have many fond recollections of the old fire drill. Possibly some may not be entirely accurate, so if flaws are detected in the narrative, ‘‘excuse it please.”’ At the time I entered school in the fall of 1891 the fire fighting apparatus consisted of Hose 2 which covered the inside equipment of small hose attached to stand pipes, and fire extinguishers; Hose 3 and Hose 4 which were the old style hand drawn hose carriages equipped with regulation 214’’ hose, nozzles and play pipes such as are used by fire depart- ments. Hose 3 was located in the Blacksmith Shop and Hose 4 in the front hall. There was also the Ladder Company which manned one exten- sion and several single ladders, which I believe were kept on rollers under the north end of the machine shop. There was a very complete variety of regular fire department accessories such as shut-off nozzles, play pipes, Siamese connections, gate valves, life belts and a life net. And I nearly forgot the “Dummy.” In general the small boys were assigned to Hose 2, the large and husky ones to the Ladder Company, and the rest of us to the other Hose Companies. Between ’91 and ’94 the fire department expanded considerably. The Annex was built and the base- ment devoted almost entirely to fire apparatus. A small hand drawn Ladder Truck, Hose 5, same type as 3 and 4 but larger and with more hose capacity, a Hand Engine (or Tub) was acquired. Then came a real Ladder Truck so made that it could be drawn either by hand or horses; a hose wagon which was used only with horses, and to top it all off the Drill Tower. Old “Hose 4” with quarters in the front hall of the shop building 7 il , y eel) “rn rit i AT D ( ms 4 oP iS One of the famous companies While we could not of course have the benefit of the years of actual fire fighting that regular firemen have, we did receive the same complete instruction and training which was received at their schools. While for regular duty the boys were assigned to companies according to size and strength, yet all were taught and given some experience on both hose and ladder work. After a little training we could hook the hose around the hydrant while the carriage passed with- out stopping,—lay a line of hose without kinks,— raise and lower ladders,—ascend ladders, hook on with life belt, also hook nozzle on ladder rung and handle it with a powerful stream of water,—slide down a rope both with and without life belt,— jump into life net. In executing this last item we were instructed to land sitting down, but at first, as you may suppose, we landed anywhere from the heels to the back of the neck. And the afore- said ‘““Dummy,’—this was a canvas effigy of a man filled with sand and weighing about 100 lbs. —used to be thrown into the life net at times, and let me tell you we would rather catch a 200-lb. boy anytime than that 100-lb. dead weight “Dummy.” Oh! the smoke drills. For the best of these the smoke was created in the coal bin off the boiler room by means of a hand forge using damp paper, oily waste and sometimes a little soft coal just to make it tingle the nostrils. The boys crawled in through one window, groped their way through the smoke and went out the opposite window. There were always two boys (one of them an officer) de- tailed to operate the forge and guide any boy who could not easily find his way to the opposite window. They had of course been instructed to he down with faces close to the floor if they felt the least bit groggy. ‘That smoke may be urritating but not particularly dangerous is shown by the fact that the two smoke creators would remain in the bin throughout the drill, but most of the time their heads were below the smoke. They just reached up and worked the pump handle once in a while and watched the others go through, helping them if necessary. On the alarm system, various parts of the build- ings and the drill tower were denoted by different box numbers. Alarms were usually sounded at 2:30 p. M. (the school closing hour at that time) so as not to interfere with class work. Officers were instructed not to start their companies until they were sure they had counted the alarm correctly HH ns even though they might have to hold back until completion of the second round. The drill tower was box 16 and this was the one usually sounded for the reason that it was fitted for all kinds of fire fighting work and we could throw water about with- out risk of damage to buildings. Sometimes, after a long string of box 16, some other alarm would be sounded and it must be admitted that occasionally one or more companies would be caught napping. I recall an occasion where one lone company landed at (we will call it) box 18. Mr. Ellis, much to the embarrassment of the captain persisted in asking if he was sure he was right. Naturally the young fellow hated to claim that his was “the only com- pany in step,” but replied that he had counted the box twice and checked with his Lieutenant before starting. After “riding” the captain a bit more the Harry Ellis smile appeared and he informed the company that they had prepared for action at the correct location. What a relief! And did H. E. have fun with the others. Sad to relate this par- ticular captain was not always right. He got his bumps along with the others. All this in the process of training. In due time kinks were ironed out and a very smooth working department developed. While Mr. Ellis got quite a “kick” out of catching some officer in a slip, yet he enjoyed it even more if, when he sprang a surprise alarm, every company landed where it belonged. Perhaps it should be mentioned that we had mili- tary drill also, this in time developing to the point where we had a battalion of two companies. The Major of this battalion was chief of the Fire Depart- ment. One Captain had the Ladder Company, the other Hose 5, and Hose 2, 3 and 4 were commanded by Lieutenants. Other officers and non coms. were distributed among the fire companies. All the boys served in the drills and each did his part, but perhaps I may be forgiven if I mention a few of the many names that come back to me. There was Bob Harlow who had finished school before I entered, and was working in the office, The Drill Tower assisting Mr. Ellis as a Drill Master; Tom Wiseman, Fred Smith and Fred Scotton who at different times commanded the Ladder Company; George Wells, Jack Wood, Dave Dow, George (Paddy) Lyford who commanded hose companies; Smith and Scotton remained at school after graduation and became Drill Masters. In my own class there Before Motorization was Joe Eldridge, Captain of B Company in the military battalion, and Joe being the “husky gent” was assigned to command the Ladder Company, while your most humble servant acquired Hose 5. One boy I want to mention particularly, and I’m sure without fear of criticism—the late Lieutenant William Spike (didn’t-know-it-was-loaded) Haverty of 95. Was there ever a more inspiring sight than Spike riding the rocker arm on top of the old Hand Tub and getting the last ounce of energy out of his crew on the pump bars? Never. If Spike could be here with the Tub and the same crew I would back them against the best motor pumper in the country. The Fire Reserve must not be overlooked. This was the reason for the horse drawn apparatus. The force was made up of the officers of the school de- partment and other fire bugs selected from the different companies. It was their duty to ‘“‘cover in” at any fire station in Cambridge designated by the Chief in the event of a general alarm. Needless to say the Reserve was commanded by Mr. Ellis. I remember covering the Inman Square station one night. How many boys were never fascinated by a fire station—and the brass poles? Mr. Ellis sent us to bed in due time, then when all was quiet sounded an inside alarm. All records must have been broken. We slid down the poles so close f [Fe“e Responding to an Alarm together it must have looked like one very tall man, but no time was lost getting aboard ready to leave for a fire. But no fire. As a matter of fact we never did have to tackle a real fire, but then what fire would have dared to enter into competition with such a body of fire fighting wizards? One could run on almost indefinitely on the subject of the C.M.T.S. Fire Drill. The complete story would be a very long one, and it was all brought about by Harry Ellis. He conceived it, secured the apparatus and conducted and supervised the in- struction and training. Some might feel that this would be a rather dangerous sort of training for boys of high school age. Not when properly super- vised. The most serious accidents I can recall] The Improved Quarters are that sometimes someone got quite wet, and I wouldn’t say that in every case this was an acci- dent. How often do you hear of firemen being injured during training period? Never, if their instructors are qualified. Harry Ellis was ever- lastingly on the job. He was one of the coolest men I ever met (except at a football or baseball game), and an excellent executive and instructor. He seldom raised his voice (except at a game),—a nod from him or a few quiet words accomplished far more than all the shouting and wild waving of arms I have heard and seen since I left school. He had a goal in view reaching beyond just the fire drill for the school, but was not permitted to remain with us to complete the work. We lost him, a comparatively young man, but he left with us the memory of a grand friend and a wonderful counsellor. Frep L. Pancoast, ’94 FRED L. PANCOAST, ’94, was an enthusiastic fire-drill fan. After graduation he joined the State Militia— which we now know as the National Guard—and served during the Spanish-American War. He is an expert mechanic, and has trained himself since leaving school to be a mechanical engineer. He taught machine shop practice for some years in the Springfield Technical High School, has been super- intendent of several factories and is now with the Pneumatic Secale Corporation, manufacturers of packaging machinery. am p I inde What vivid memories Camp Rindge brings back to the men who were the boys of Rindge fifty years ago. How well I remember the morning we left the school, wearing white duck uniforms and carrying canvas bags filled with blankets and clothing. After a long and eventful trip by rail and boat to Lake Winnepesaukee, a small steamer, the Mineola, took us to Cow Island where on the top of the hill tents had already been erected. It was only a short time before we located the mess tent and the cook house near the old mill, now gone, but with a new one erected in its place. Remains of the old mill are still to be seen. The mess call was always welcome for we had excellent food and plenty of it. Another spot soon discovered was the swimming beach and before the first day was over we had had a swim in the Lake. The camp was under military rule, with regular drill and guard duty for all except members of the Band. Every evening there was Parade and Inspection with the Band, directed by Corey Phelps, leading the exercises. Against a background of lake and mountains as the sun set in the west, the cere- mony of lowering the flag was most impressive. We remember well those who were there as our protectors and helpers. Mr. Ellis had our well-being constantly in mind. If anything happened to a boy he acted as a father to him. Mr. Blandin was another who devoted himself to us and we can never forget Scottie and Mr. Lund. Miss Ellis was there also to add the touch that only such a woman could give. Doc Quirk well fitted for his work with boys, will never be forgotten. Many things were done for the entertainment of the campers. Frequent trips into the surrounding A Panorama of the Camp mountains were arranged. On one of these we climbed Mt. Gunstock, on another Mt. Belnap. After a night on Belnap sleeping on the ground, rolled in blankets, it was a wonderful experience to arise at daybreak, see the sun come up, and then cook breakfast over an open fire. Could food be any sweeter than when cooked that way? Many trips of this kind were arranged. Besides, there were races in large boats with ten oarsmen and also a number of fishing parties. Many expeditions were made to various points on the Lake in the Mineola—to Melvin Village, to Doc Green’s place, to Centre Harbor and the Wiers. I remember one severe rain and windstorm during which the boys found it difficult to keep their tents from blowing away. The mess tent came down with little damage; the lake generally so smooth and calm, became a raging sea; the “Lady of the Lake,” steaming on its way north, was unable to buck the storm. Fortunately we had only one such storm. The weather was usually all we could desire. Among other forms of amusement the boys organized among themselves what they chose to call secret societies. Two of these were the Q.I.Z. (Queer Initiating Zephyrs) and the U.S.D.R. or United Sons of Dish Rags. The latter organization was composed mostly of boys having to do with the culinary part of Camp, although some outside mortals were allowed admission. Sundays we boarded the Mineola which took us to Lakeport for church. The tremulous soprano whose weekly solo was ‘‘ Rest, Rest to the Weary,” will never be forgotten. To relate all the things that happened would take pages. Every day had its joys. The four weeks on Cow Island will always be remembered by those boys fortunate enough to have been there. Some of the members of the Class of ’95 have been back three times. What a thrill it was to visit again the scenes of our boyhood camp days, to swim at the beach, to hunt for the relics of the Mill and Mess House, to find the rock on which some of the boys had inscribed their initials, to sit in the evening by the harbor and to reminisce. What good fortune is ours, the boys of fifty years ago, to have memories of Camp Rindge. Mooly Cow Island, Rah, Rah, Rah! Watrer G. (StuGGER) Burns, ’95 WALTER G. BURNS, for many years president of the Class of °95, has retained to a large degree his loyalty for the old school. He has been for many years a carpenter and builder, specializing in church work. Each year since 1924 he has attended the graduation exercises at the school to deliver the Ware Prize along with some fatherly advice. His appearance on these occasions is enormously appreciated by the graduates. A FAMOUS BOY’S and History of the Widely Known Cambridge Manual Training School Band The noble generosity of Frederick H. Rindge, founder, and the big heartedness of Harry Ellis, superintendent, made possible many interesting and instructive features of the Cambridge Manual Training School in the “gay nineties.” One of the features was a full military band, which made its beginning in 1890 with a lone trumpeter marching at the head of the school fire drill battalion. That trumpeter was Albert R. MacKusick, then fourteen years old; now a well known Boston lawyer. It was learned that a drummer and a fifer were among the pupils of the school and Louis M. Grant became the teacher of school boys who wanted to learn to play the fife; and Mr. MacKusick taught the school boys who were ambitious to play the cornet. In 1892 the C. M. T. S. Fife, Drum and Bugle Corps made its first appearance at the head of the G. A. R. parade on Memorial Day. John W. Wood, now the school principal, was a front row fifer in that - parade. | he succeeding year, the number of school musi- cians increased, and Superintendent Ellis merged the corps into a full-fledged brass band. | By faithful work on the part of the boys to whom the school furnished the different band instruments, the players who were taught by Albert R. Mac- : Kusick, then a boy of seventeen, met for rehearsals twice each week. The band furnished music for the drills at the school, and at Camp Rindge, Lake : Winnepesaukee, N. H., where the school camped for three successive summers. It later filled many engagements where its first class music was greatly enjoyed and it soon earned the title of the “Boy | Band.”’ Individual instruction was given about fifteen boys in each entering class. In the middle of that | school year, these boys rehearsed as a junior band and in their second year, the proficient players were promoted to the senior band and filled the | places of the older members who, after graduating, found themselves unable to continue with their band membership. | It furnished regular summer band concerts for the City of Cambridge. During a number of years, it was the only band at the B. A. A. Athletic Meets in Boston Mechanics Hall, where it also played at the Food Fairs. The band’s programs were a regular feature at old Charles River Bicycle Track, located in the 90’s, on Massachusetts Avenue near Harvard Bridge. The band was a featured attrac- tion during its considerable sojourn at the New England Sunday School Chautauquaat Framingham. Mite It marched at the head of Grand Army, Knights Templar, Firemen, Political, School and Military parades. It was the only band from New England that marched in the (1897) Inaugural Parade of President McKinley at Washington where it re- ceived a special invitation to serenade the President at the White House. It was entertained while in Washington by Massachusetts Congressmen at the mansion house of former Vice-President, Levi P. Morton. By Avert R. MacKusicx, First Rindge Bandmaster. ALBERT R. MacKUSICK, the school’s first trumpeter in 1890, was the instructor and leader of the band during his high school years and until after his graduation from Harvard College in 1899. In 1900, because of his entrance into Harvard Law School to prepare himself for a career at the bar, he resigned and his very proficient band pupil John H. Murray, who had been studying band direction with him took up the baton laid down by Mr. MacKusick. After several decades during which no provision was made for a musical organization at Rindge, in 1933 Mr. Josepb Freni joined the faculty to create a department of instrumental music. Mr. Freni is a graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music. He is also director of the band of 182nd Infantry Regiment, Massachusetts National Guard, and has directed a number of other prominent musical groups. His work at Rindge has resulted in the present day Rindge Band and Rindge Or- chestra. These organizations contribute tremend- ously to the school life and their excellent playing has given them an enviable reputation throughout Cambridge.

Like its predecessors it is the scene of many activities—assemblies, meetings, concerts and plays. On its stage tread the Rindge Thespians of today who are carrying forward a tradition of Rindge. Though today’s student actors are able to essay more arduous roles and possibly to present more finished plays because their equipment is greater than that of those who pre- ceded them, the ghosts of earlier Rindge Barrymores and Garricks still haunt the Green Room. Unfortunately the archives do not hold a complete record of Rindge dramatic effort. In this connection it would be greatly appreciated if any alumnus “Me an’ Otis’ would contribute any material or information he might have concerning the early years of Rindge dramatics. The first play presented by the boys of Rindge was a two-act piece called ““The Doctor.” This was in 1900. In 1903 there was presented under the direction of Walter H. Dugan, “Down by the Sea”’ and in 1904 Hubert Smith produced Uncle.” Records for the next few years are missing but we find that in 1910 the late Harold G. Chase, well- known in New York theatrical circles, directed “Our Boys.” In the years that followed a number of plays were presented with Miss Ward and Miss Rogers the guiding forces. From 1923 until he left Rindge to become prin- cipal of the Fletcher School, Mr. Edward A. Sullivan, the present president of the Salem State Teachers’ College, was in charge of dramatics. During his regime the annual Senior Dramas, the sophomore Christmas plays and the various other entertain- ments were a succession of outstanding hits. Since Mr. Sullivan left, the school plays have been directed by Mr. William Lynch. Building a set for “The Black Flamingo” The early plays of Rindge were presented in a number of places—the old Washington Hall, Sanders Theatre, and for a number of years at Brattle Hall. ‘“‘The Ghost Train,”’ the Senior Drama of 1933, was the first to be given in the new auditorium. Since then Rindge audiences have enjoyed each year a number of one-act and three- act plays. There follows a list of the annual Senior Dramas since 1920. The Senior Drama is by far the most important social event of the school year and as such occupies the most important place in our school theatricals.

Hore. Terrestria, Dy THE Lake of rHE Stn, Dear Jin give ALIS We arrived at our destination safely, on the 26th of April, but, following your directions, I havenot written you until I have seen something of Mars. You know everything up to the time we parted at the landing place, at St. Minnipaulis. By the time this reaches you, w e shall have been apart nearly a year and a half, and I have So much to tell you that I must make my first letter a good long one. We started on our trip November 3 198, my father taking this time as the most favorable for a rapid voyage, for we would then Strike Mars at the near- est point to the Earth, or about forty million miles away, After I had been aboard the ship for a week, and learned all there was to know about it, the voyage was very monotonous. The ship was built almost entirely of aluminium, and intended to go ata Great speed; the motive-power being thermo-electricity, derived directly from the sun’s heat. Water is made elec- trically from gas carried in reservoirs, as is also the air for breathing, When about a month out, one of the crew died, and the funeral was very impres- sive. He was simply dropped over- | board, where the temperature of the ether kept the body in condition for The C. M. T. burial, while the attraction which exists between different bodies in space kept it close behind the vessel until we reached Mars, where the man had a decent burial. Almost the first thing we noticed after our arrival was the peculiar red vegetation, so we were not so much surprised when, during dinner at the hotel, we had red peas, red lettuce- salad, red celery, etc. The people seem to move with about the same ease that we do on tea while we seem to weigh almost nothing. This is explained by the fact that an earthly pound weighs only six ounces and three pennyweight on Mars, owing to its smaller volume and mass. I attended a base-ball game here, about two weeks ago, between a home club and the New Yorks, who, to gether with the Bostons, are travelling in Mars and playing exhibition games. To make up for the superior agility of the team from Earth, two diamonds are arranged, one half the size of the other The home club runs on ‘the small set of bases, and the Visitors on the large one. If a Mars club should play on Earth, what on earth could they do! The game was very inter- esting, and was tied at the end-of the ninth inning, but the New Yorks won at the end of the tenth, with a score of 3 to2 ‘The other day we bought a copy of the Buston Glide, which has the largest circulation in the Universe. Before 1 close I must tell one more interesting fact. Instead of using several small electric lights for streets at night (electricity having been used (Continued on third page.) S. Register 3 for that purpose for some three hun- dred years), three large lamps on vessels, kept half a mile above the city, supply light enough to read fine print in the streets, By accident, the lights of several cities form geometri- cal figures, and this was what led astronomers of a hundred years ago to think that Mars was inhabited, and was making signals to the Earth. As the next mail-ship leaves in half an hour, I must bring this letter to a close ; so good-by until the next letter, or until you see me, about the middle of 1985. Your sincere friend, ALFRED PETERS. DRUM CORPS. woe Drum Corps is progressing rapidly, under the instruction of Mr. Grant, and is expected to be in good order to play at drills before long. The number of members has decreased considerably since the first of the year, but we have enough to make a very good band. PERSONAL. HE Jatin School Review, in speak- ing of the prize competition, says: “Mr. Fairchild from the C. M. T. S. sent a very good story.” We congratulate him. We wish Mr, Whittemore great suc- cess in his new undertaking, of teach- ing blacksmithing in a Waltham school We shall miss seeing his stately form meandering through the halls and corridors, and miss seeing him hammer cold iron hot by his Herculean blows in the forge shop, The young Herculeses, which he is going to make-out of the Waltham school-boys, will make our second | eleven look well to the laurels which they won So gloriously on the foot-ball field last fall. Mr. Phelps, of the Drum Corps, has decided to take up the drum again, and leave the cornet playing to the new boys. He is wise, for he is a good drummer, and we have almost too many cornets. Mr. Ritchie is progressing slowly and steadily on his desk. It will be a handsr ne piece of work when finished, Lieutenant Lyford has joined the squad of banquet-lamp makers. Mr. H. C. Wells, of the Drum Corps, has given up the fife for the cymbals; and Mr. Russell plays the bass drum on a string We were all happily surprised Mon- day, by the unexpected return of Mr. Ellis, “Bob” Harlow, and “Pipe” Gass.

THROUGHOUT THE YEARS Rindge was one of the first schools in this country to be represented by athletic teams. The Cam- bridge Manual Training School teams of the early nineties were unbeatable, and right through the last half century from the days of George Whittemore to Vito Ananis in football, and from Charlie McCue to Tony Sarausky in baseball, Rindge has had teams and athletes in all branches of sport of whom we should be justly proud. In track we have had Olympic winners in Bill Robbins and Frank Hussey; in baseball, LeRoy Clark, Mac Hillis, Tom Daly, Bill Barrett, Dewey Metivier, and many others who have reached the big leagues; in wrestling, Bibber McCoy has for many years been a contender for the world cham- pionship; Al Lassman at the age of seventeen was a finalist for the national amateur boxing champion- ship and probably would have been heavyweight champion of the world if he had lived. Russell Field Basketball introduced in 1903 by Tom Cairns, has a splendid record right down to the present, and hockey, which started about the same date, has had several championship teams. One of the first players on the Rindge teams was Raymie Skilton, later to become the greatest amateur hockey player in this country with the exception of the great Hobey Baker. Crew, under Doctor MacDonald, won many championships and trophies and our cross country and swimming teams have had splendid records. But although Rindge has participated in many sports, its first sport, football, still remains its big one due in a great measure to the impetus given it by its early teams and such great leaders as George Whittemore, Jerry Murphy, and Kenny Parks. RUSSELL FIELD was built primarily for the use of Rindge and the Latin School. It is located in North Cambridge with access from Rindge Avenue and Dudley Street. The field furnishes accommo- dations for all the different sports, including a football gridiron, two baseball fields, quarter mile track with runs for the different athletic events, viewing accommodations from two concrete grand- stands seating 8000 people and a locker building. The Field covers an area of about twenty-two acres of which seven are enclosed. Since its formal opening, May 30, 1913, it has served as the playing field of Rindge athletic teams. Memorial Plaque in the Lobby of the Gymnasium AL LASSMAN entered Rindge in 1919, a tall scrawny youngster who though but fourteen years old was already a six-footer. Many of his classmates were athletically inclined, classmates such as Ernie Hughes, Bibber McCoy, Adam Elcewicz, Tom Smith, Al Corkery, Walter Colburn, and they pre- vailed upon him to try out for football. With such a beginning mild and unspectacular, by the end of his sophomore year Al was considered to be the best linesman in the schoolboy ranks and he had much to do with making the football teams of his athletic era successful. He also rowed for two years in the championship crews. In 1922 he entered Cushing and remained there for two years, attracting widespread attention by his work on the football! field. At Cushing he entered the National Amateur Boxing Championship Tour- nament and was beaten only in the final bout. He entered New York University in 1924 and was soon nationally known not only for his football prowess but also as a boxer—the sport that he loved best of all. As a college boxer he won every bout he entered, usually within a round. As a footbal! linesman he was ranked with such football immortals as Hogan of Yale, Cooney of Princeton and Ham Fish of Harvard. Injury in a game against Pittsburgh played in 1927 for the championship of the country, partially paralyzed his left side. While in this weakened condition, he was drowned saving the lives of two boys at a Maine summer camp. The story of Al Lassman is in the main that of an athletic hero, but the fact that he was a good student, though not a brilliant one, is worth record- ing. He was a big lovable giant—six feet seven and a half in height and he weighed two hundred and forty-two pounds when he was in condition. Always laughing and good-natured, it was a fine sight to see half a dozen boys of the Rindge football team try to hold him down, while he like Laocoon, struggled to shoulder them off. His popularity was great. Within two weeks of his injury in the Pittsburgh game, twenty thousand telegrams and letters and messages of sympathy were sent him. He was a model boy and a model son. His devotion to his parents was wonderful and his ambi- tion was to graduate from college and to secure enough money from the boxing game to insure finan- cial security for his family. If misfortune had not overtaken him there is little doubt that this ambition would have been realized for Gene Tunney, Jack Kearns and several other boxing authorities just before his death had picked Al Lassman for the next World’s Heavyweight Champion. It is a fitting tribute to this boy whose memory is stamped in the affections of every Rindge alumnus and student, that the school gymnasium should bear his name. The Al Lassman gymnasium is so- called in remembrance of one who in a short life span combined the sterling qualities of fair play, fine leadership and immutable character into the finest type of Rindge man. TROPHY ROOM AND CHARLES F. McCUE. In the his- tory of a school where students have met in work and at play for four years, there will be found some- times and vividly remembered the personality of an alumnus particularly devoted to his school. Such an alumnus was Charles F. McCue. He ex- pressed his fondness for his own school so fittingly and so generously that Rindge bears in return a lasting gratitude toward him. Mr. McCue was a member of the first graduating class of the Cambridge Manual Training School in 1891. For the rest of his life and during his years as president of the Rindge Alumni association he was interested in everything that concerned Rindge and quickly aware of the school’s every need. Believing that the alumni and the students would reap pleasure and prestige from the possession of a Trophy Room, where might be assembled treasures and trophies won by the athletic teams, he set to work with the able cocperation of Mr. Henry Lynch to gather all available material He and Mr. Lynch journeyed throughout the state collecting photographs, ete., with which to adorn the walls of the new room. This room stands now an authoritative and a decorative hall of fame to the prowess of Rindge on the playing fields of Massachusetts and other states. Unfortunately Mr. McCue did not live to see its dedication. At an alumni banquet in 1935 the Trophy Room was named in honor of this generous man who made its achievement possible. One of the most interesting articles in the Trophy Room is the Charles C. Jones Memorial Cabinet. Designed and constructed at Rindge by the late Mr. Saville Moore, who died during the hurricane, September 21, 1938, it serves as a lasting memorial to Mr. Charles C. Jones who after many years at Rindge as a teacher of printing died in 1922. For years it stood in the lower hall of the old Washington Building where it served as a display cabinet of the athletic trophies won by Rindge teams. Today it can hold only a few of the many souvenirs of victory but it nevertheless remains a hallowed shrine in a room sacred to all Rindge men. AG OF PAST AND PRESENT COACHES CyaruEs A. LINEHAN '06 Former Athletic Coach CHARLES A. LINEHAN, '06. Only Mr. Wood has been in closer contact with the boys of Rindge than “Charlie” Linehan. His service to the school has been long and varied: four years as a student; nine years as coach of our football, baseball and hockey teams; a member of the faculty for twenty-five years, during seventeen of which he has been head of the Mathematics department. To his boys “Charlie” was more than a coach—he was their friend and advisor. Through his efforts, many boys for whom it would otherwise have been Henry C. Lyncu Faculty Manager since 1925 impossible, received a_ college education. Even today many of those who received help do not know how much time and money Charlie gladly gave to enable them to further their education. A notable example of his in- terest in the welfare of his boys was his securing the services of a Harvard classmate as doctor for his football games at a time when very few schools made this a practice. It was Charlie who was re- sponsible for Rindge’s being a member of the Suburban Leagues. To him belongs a great deal of Dr. Net MacDonatp Former Crew Coach credit for the reorganization of the Alumni—here again he gave unsparingly of his time, acting as secretary until the association was firmly established and then refusing the greatest honor the Alumni can give—the presidency. His fellow coaches have shown their respect and admiration by electing him secretary of the Massachusetts Schoolboy Coaches’ Association at its in- ception, and by drafting him yearly to the same office. Charlie has never lost contact with his boys. Today a hearty handshake and ready smile await us all.

Despite an unfortunate start in which a series of events conspired to keep Rindge from winning against Waltham, the team has defeated every other rival it has met up to the time this book goes to press. Among its victories the one over Cambridge High and Latin School was par- ticularly gratifying, for by it Rindge won the city championship and permanent possession of the American Legion cup. Its successful conquests of Brookline and Newton made it the Suburban League champions of 1938.

He is now a valued coach with _ the Boston Red Sox. ® | BIBBER McCOY played next to his pal, Al Lassman, on the 1922 football team. Just as Al Lass- man was a potential contender for the World’s Heavyweight Boxing Championship, so was McCoy a real contender for the _ World’s Heavyweight Wrestling crown. He wrestled Sonnenberg for the title in 1924 and barely lost the decision. In over a thousand bouts extending over a period of a decade Bibber has won 90 per cent of them. His start as amateur wrestler was auspicious. When still a schoolboy he was selected to represent the East in the try- outs for the 1924 Olympics, but was eliminated in the final try- outs. Though he gained national fame as a wrestler, McCoy was really one of the best all-round athletes in the country. His football and _ baseball ability, while in high school, made him the universal selection for the current All Scholastic team. He was a speedy end or a powerful back. In baseball he excelled as a catcher. Later at Holy Cross and Mount St. Mary’s, he showed such promise in this sport that he was signed by the Detroit Tigers. At the end of a season with them, he was released when his arm unfortunately went back on him. As a track man he was an excellent sprinter despite his weight and he was also a fast swimmer. Bibber has tried his hand at many things including politics and his activities have kept him on the road so much that he must be our record travelling alumnus. Hundreds of wrestling trips to Canada, the Pacific Coast and the South have kept him constantly on the go. At present he is engaged in Physical Educational work in New York State but he still finds oppor- tunity to do some wrestling. A giant like his great friend, Al Lassman, he too is a hero of the field to all Rindge alumni. Only a cruel fate has robbed our school of two world’s champions who as schoolboys pulled to- gether and played side by side on a Rindge team. GEORGE DEWEY METIVIER was a fine football and baseball player while at Rindge. After graduation he played minor league ball and_ finally was purchased by Cleveland of the American League. He was an outstanding pitcher and played for several years with Cleveland. @ KENNEY PARK was perhaps the greatest all-round athlete ever to play for Rindge. He played baseball, basketball, hockey, foot- ball, ran on the track team, and was a Star in every sport. At the end of his freshman year he was elected captain of the varsity football team, which honor was conferred on him three successive times. This record has never been equalled in school- boy ranks. e@ WILLIAM C. ROBBINS known throughout the sports world a score of years ago as “Yank” Robbins, entered Rindge from Cambridge English High School and was a student here during the years 1903-04. Robbins was one of the greatest quarter milers that ever put on a shoe, and reached the height of his glory when he beat the world’s best at the Olympic Games of 1908, held at London. His photograph appears in the left hand corner of the relay team picture which is reproduced on the last page of the Hall of Champions section. THIS PAGE % IS DEDICATED TO THOSE MEN OF RINDGE LIVING AND DEAD WHO IN EVERY NATIONAL EMERGENCY SINCE THE FOUNDING OF THE SCHOOL HAVE SERVED IN THE MILITARY AND NAVAL FORCES “Ss OF THEIR COUNTRY HOW WELL DO YOU Pe ea In the annals of any school, the characters and personalities of the teachers are of tremendous importance. Rindge has been extremely fortunate in having had from its founding to the present day, a corps of instructors inspired by and devoted to their tasks. Beginning with the handful of men and women grouped about Harry Ellis to the con- temporary staff surrounding Mr. Wood, the Rindge faculty has moulded the characters and influenced the lives of thousands of men and boys. To every Rindge alumnus the men and women who taught him in school are forever a part of his remembrances. To every Rindge teacher the boys who passed through his classroom are a part of his life, each boy adding to a stream of memories which are the greatest reward of the profession of teaching. The following pages are dedicated to the men and women who have taught or are teaching at Rindge. Some are dead, some are retired, some have gone into wider fields of endeavor, but all have contributed to the essence of the Rindge spirit. continue to benefit from his willing cooperation and insight into their problems. A native of Cambridge, he graduated from the Peabody and Cambridge Latin Schools, and then entered Harvard. There after a brilliant record he received a bachelor’s degree in 1903, finishing the four years course in three years. The following year he received the degree of Master of Arts, in Romance Languages. He en- tered Rindge in 1905, as a teacher of French and Spanish. In 1914 he was promoted to the rank of master and in 1921 to that of assistant headmaster, the post he occupies to-day. In addition to his duties at Rindge, Mr. Conlin taught at evening school for seven years and for four years was principal of the Cambridge Summer High Make- Up School. At the same time he broadened his educational back- Mr. James IF. Coniin Assistant Headmaster MR. JAMES F. CONLIN has been associated with the school for thirty-three of Rindge’s fifty years. To-day as assistant head- master he can recall a long and honorable career as an educator, while hundreds of alumni and students and scores of teachers ground by tutoring at the Manter Hall School and at Long Lake Lodge. As a director of the Cam- bridge Teachers’ Club and as chairman of several of its com- mittees he has demonstrated ac- tively his interest in the teachers who serve under him. In 1917 he became a member of the Massachusetts Legal Bar Asso- ciation. ‘To-day he holds mem- bership in many educational and legal societies. MR. FRANCIS T. McCABE joined the faculty of Rindge in 1921 as a teacher of science. A grad- uate of the University of Maine in 1917, he had taught engineer- ing and drawing at his Alma Mater and later, graphics at Tufts College. Me. Francis T. McCase Assistant Headmaster During the World War he served as a designer in the Ordnance Engineering Bureau of the U. S. Army. In 1928 he became a master and head of the Science Department at Rindge. Since 1937 he has been assistant headmaster. Besides his teaching and ad- ministrative duties, Mr. McCabe has been intensely interested in problems of guidance and _ his work in this field has been of great benefit to hundreds _ of Rindge boys. He has published several articles on this subject in educational magazines. In 1928 he received the degree of Master of Education from Har- vard. His professional societies have included membership in the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. He has served in various offices of the Cambridge Teachers’ Club, is a past president of the Cam- bridge Teachers Council and is to-day a member of the Teachers Merit Rating Board. For several years he was principal of the Kelly Evening School. In all these positions he has shown unusual talent in adminis- trating the affairs of Rindge and unflagging determination to pro- mote the interests of the alumni, students and teachers of Rindge. Rindge Fiftieth Anniversary Committee. Fellow Classmates: As a member of the Class of °35 I should like to submit this small contribution in commemo- ration of The Rindge Fiftieth Anniversary. The poem which Miss Carouine L. Buake I am enclosing is of my own composition and was inspired by the never dying love with which I regard Rindge. During the years which I spent within its hallowed walls there formed around my heart a loving fondness for the school which I am sure I Shall never outgrow, and it is my earnest desire to pay some fitting tribute, however small, to Rindge for the splendid opportunities offered to me there. I feel that, in some small measure, this poetic hom- age may help to express my feel- ings, and you may rest assured that the sentiment expressed within its verses sprang from out the depths of a soul burning with high respect and _ fond admiration. Yours with fondest regards, Member of Class of °35 GAlnB: @ Mr. Joun J. Curry 14 Master of Roberts School October 17, 1938. As an alumnus and former teacher of Rindge may I extend a welcome to all returning grad- uates. On our fiftieth anniver- sary we have every reason to be proud of past accomplishments of our school. Our constant en- deavor should be to maintain Rindge as the leader in technical education. Joun J. Curry, 714 Miss Myra I. Extts Taught from 1891-1926 © October 11, 1938. To THE MEMBERS OF THE RinpGeE ALUMNI: It is with great pleasure that I write a few lines to you on the occasion of the Fiftieth Anni- versary of the Founding of Rindge Technical School. Many changes have been wrought in this period of fifty years. The Shop, Science and x Mr. Kennetu W. GOEPPER Master of Fletcher School Washington Buildings are gone. The Rindge Manual Training School has been replaced by the modern, well-equipped Rindge Technical School which is second to none in the country. In spite of the structural change, the spirit of old Rindge remains. No one could desire to teach any better types of manhood than the young men with whom I had the pleasure of associating during the years nineteen hundred twenty-one to nineteen hundred thirty-seven. I hope that you, the alumni, will enjoy your reunion with your former classmates, and that all of you will be successful in your life work, and be able to return twenty-five years hence to celebrate the seventy-fifth anniversary. May you have health, wealth and happiness. Sincerely, KENNETH W. GOEPPER e October 3, 1938. To the members of the Rindge Alumni: May I, as President of the State Teachers College at Fram- Mr. Martin F. O’Connor President, State Teachers College Framingham ingham, the oldest public normal school in America, now celebrat- ing its one hundredth anniver- sary, extend to you the greeting on the occasion of your fiftieth anniversary? One of my happiest memories is of the days when I was privi- leged to be a member of the Rindge Technical School faculty. One of my greatest pleasures at the present time is to meet, from time to time, former students and present and former teachers with whom I was associated. It is my hope that the next fifty years of the school will be a repetition of the success and progress which were made during its first fifty years. Sincerely yours, Martin F. O’Connor @ Mr. Evan W. GrirritH Taught from 1903-1933 October 27, 1938. On this significant occasion it is a privilege to address a word of congratulation to all who are interested in the welfare and progress of Rindge Technical School. Those of us who have been associated with Rindge have a respect and affection for her which will continue to in- crease with the passing of time. In a sense, her distinctions are ours and we are happy in them. For years Rindge has_ been fulfilling a definite mission in our Mr. Epwarp A. SULLIVAN President, State Teachers College Salem community. Her influence has become progressively more exten- sive, and she stands today at the peak of her accomplishment. May she continue indefinitely to improve the scope and quality of her work. Epwarp A. SULLIVAN e Mr. Cuester W. Houtmes Assistant Superintendent of Schools Washington, D. C. Miss Louisa P. ParKER 1897-1899 JOE J. CORCORAN. After thirty years of fine and loyal service at Rindge as head janitor, Mr. Joseph Corcoran was pensioned in 1933. Shortly before his death in 1936, he wrote a letter in which he gave a brief account of his long stewardship and of the pleasant associations he had formed with teachers and stu- dents during its term. His devo- tion to the school was very great and from his reminiscences he stands revealed as a man proud of Rindge and one of whom Rindge may well be proud. He possessed the happy faculty of remembering the names of all the boys during most of his years at the school and even when the ranks numbered 1200 strong, he still knew all their faces. In his letter he recalls the lowly beginnings of the Manual Training School in the cellar of Mr. Harry Ellis’ home and its subsequent elevation to rooms over the fish market in the Robert’s block in Brattle Square. He praises Mr. Ellis’ vision in realizing the need of a building separate and entire, and the Miss Anna R. Warp Taught for 20 Years quickness of mind and generosity of heart with which Mr. Rindge responded to the vision. From then on he watched the build- ings rise—the first red school- house, then the annex, finally the gleaming white structure which is Rindge today. Mr. Corcoran recalls with par- ticular enthusiasm the old Fire Mr. Josmpu J. Corcoran Head Janitor for 30 Years Me. James G. TELFER 1889-1927 Department which he shared with Mr. Ellis as a special hobby. The Fire Department in those early days at Rindge is a pic- turesque feature of the school’s history as we read it now. With its four story drill tower in the yard, its hand reels containing hose it must have been an im- posing affair to watch from the sidelines and a positive delight to headmaster, janitor and boys who took part in its performance. Mr. Corcoran had the enviable role of driver of the chief’s car- riage, in which he and Mr. Ellis dashed to fires and fire drills. Mr. Corcoran’s life as the father of a family was interwoven closely with his life in the school. His two sons are graduates of Rindge, one grandson has grad- uated and two more are prospec- tive students. He was whole- hearted in his admiration f or the curriculum with its combined academic and mechanical courses. “In my estimation, it is the only school for a boy to attend,” he wrote in 1936 and that was an opinion based on thirty years of knowledge and experience. SIDNEY B. STODDER was the school engineer at the opening of the Cambridge Manual Training School. For eleven years he was a member of the school staff and during that period he made numerous friends among _ stu- dents and graduates. His in- terest in the school has remained keen all his life. He had much more training than the ave rage stationary en- gineer and very early in his career demonstrated his marked ability. His service in installing the power equipment of the old school was outstanding. For Mr. Srpney B. StoppER First School Engineer some years after the school started, classes in shop subjects were maintained for students of the Harvard Engineering School. Through this contact Mr. Stod- der became acquainted with several of the professors, espe- cially Prof. Burke. When Har- vard College brought together all of its engineering activities under Prof. Burke, Mr. Stodder was made head of the depart- ment of steam engineering. He served there with distinction for many years. He has now retired and is living in Cam- bridge. Work is One of Our Greatest Blessings. Loerpone Should Habe an Honest Occupation Go a Nobler Life Rise Higher Inu Quest of the Best Vie. TO THE FIFTIETH On behalf of the Semi-Centennial Committee of which I have the honor to be chairman, I wish to take this opportunity to welcome to our reunion every man of Rindge. The occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of our school is a happy one for all of us. Its celebration is an expression of loyalty and pride in the institution that is our Alma Mater and to which we owe so much. Here in our youth were we trained and here were our characters moulded. Anyone who has been a student at Rindge for one year or more and all former and present teachers are eligible for membership in the Alumni Association. Here we acquired that strength we have to meet the world and take our places in it. It is no wonder then that the graduates of Rindge have made great efforts to insure that her birthday will be observed fittingly. The response of the alumni has been great and entirely in keeping with the spirit of Rindge. I want to tender my regards and thanks particularly to those committees and individuals who have worked with vigor to insure that this memorable occasion might be a success. To them I wish to express my utmost gratitude for the planning and the execution of our fiftieth anniversary and reunion. To you, the alumni of Rindge who have gathered from all over the country and even beyond to pay respect to your old school, I bid welcome. May you find in the scenes of your youth a renewal of old friendships and joys; and in the memories of those alumni of Rindge who have passed on, a determination to hold fast those ideals which will provide the inspiration to continue our efforts for a greater Rindge.

There were many who contributed un- stintingly of their time and effort to make this book one that would reflect the varied facets of Rindge’s story. In particular we wish to extend our thanks to the following: To Mr. John W. Wood, ’93 for a vast amount of facts—incidents, data and information, concerning 50 years of Rindge men and activities which could not have been obtained from any other source than his seemingly inexhaustible fund of Rindge knowledge e To Mr. William S. Lynch of our faculty, who somehow managed to gather the data, and edit the material for this “After 50 Years’’—a task requiring much writing, rewriting and editing as well as countless hours of research which extended clear across the continent « To Mr. Henry C. Lynch, who has been faculty manager of athletics since 1925 and who was our principal source of athletic photos and facts e To Ex-Head Coach Charles A. Linehan, ’06, who supplied us with much old-school and athletic information e To Mr. Peter Cassidy of our airplane department who obligingly, day or night, did our photography under all sorts of handicaps and at a tremendous sacrifice of his own time, when and as often as he was needed that we might have the best there was in pic- tures e To his able assistants, the boys of the Rindge Camera Club, and Mr. Fred Hahn whom we cannot commend too highly e To Mr. Abbott O. Paine, °12 and Austin Corcoran, for photographs of the old buildings and activities e To Edward E. Gray, °33, assistant instructor in photography in the Evening School, for airplane photos of the building and Russell Field e To Miss Marion H. Pike and Miss Mary F. Cassidy without whom we would be totally at sea for facts, data, and information when all other sources failed e To Mr. Harry R. Eaton, °13, Mr. Manuel H. DeMello, ’23, Mr. Henry Richert and John Doyle, 39 for their art contributions e To the old and ever reliable source of Rindge lore, The Rindge Register e To Mr. William H. Mahoney, and his Year Books for cuts, photos and facts e To the following “old grads” for special articles— Fred Pancoast, ’94, ““Slugger’’ Burns, ’95, “Bill”? Frazer, ’15, and our old band- master, Albert R. MacKusick. Also to Eddie Donovan, ’22 and John Lagsdin, °29 for many bits of information e To Charles Scribner’s Sons of New York City for permission to use the biographical account of Frederick H. Rindge in their Dictionary of American Biography « We wish to extend a vote of thanks to the Boston Woven Hose Co. for the loan of the piece of original Rindge fire apparatus on display at the celebra- tion e Also to Deputy Chief Arthur Marshall for obtaining it for us ¢ And last, but far from least, to a printer who set his first line of type at Rindge—who planned the format, typography and design, and whose vision and guidance made After 50 Years a reality .. . namely CHESTER E. Swenson, 721 RINDGE IN SONNET I watch those monstrous hands of moving steel And marvel at their fearful strength and might; A boy’s hand throws the switch, and belt and wheel, At that light touch, their offices unite To work our modern miracles of skill, To chain the lightnings for the use of man, Make air and steam obedient to his will. Can that fair-favored youth control and plan So much? So much the ancient Titans would not dare, Or the great giants of the infant world. Across the land, beneath the seas they fare And through the clouds forever round them curled. When these men rule us in the coming years,— These men of Rindge,—we shall no more have fears.
