RINDGE TECH SCHOOL | Mr. John William Wood RINDGE TECH SCHOOL OUR HEAD MASTER — MR. JOHN WILLIAM WOOD The name John W. Wood is known to every member of the class of °45 as belonging to a man who is understanding, fai sighted, just, and inspiring of admiration and veneration. On first real contact with him four years ago, any premature misgiving evaporated; since that contact is inevitable in the first days of high school, for many reasons, it was not long before the whole class knew him as he really is. We could not better express our enthusiasm for Mr. Wood than to wish for the many future classes, the honor of affiliation with this fine man, who has so strengthened our purposes and lightened our paths these last four years. I can honestly say that the class of ’45 wishes you the best of luck in the years to come. RINDGE TECH SCHOOL DEDICATION The class of ’45 wishes to offer its gratitude and esteem to those boys of Rindge who have entered the armed forces of our great nation and who have given their lives so that we at home might enjoy the honor and privilege of living in a country such as ours; who have given their lives that this country may live a life of peace and happiness and not suffer the tortures that our oppressors might bring upon us. To the war dead of Rindge this record of four enjoyable years at Rindge Tech School is dedicated. 1945 1945 RINDGE, TEGHASCHOOE Rindge Boys of the Class of '45’’ in the Service Atwell, Wilfred Bailey, Frank Bennett, Joseph Bennett, Warren Cameron, Bruce Carrol, John Cheverie, Edward L.

He has through his interest in class activities endeared himself to us. We will always remember him as the one to whom we turned for advice. In this our last year when every study meant so much to us he has lived up to our highest expectations. To you, Mr. McCabe, the class of “45” gives its most sin- cere thanks. RINDGE TECH SCHOOL 1945 MR. JAMES F. CONLIN In looking back, we the class of “45”, find that we owe to Mr. Conlin, a great debt of gratitude. In our earlier years at Rindge, his leadership will always be remembered. We congratulate him’ on completing forty years of service as instructor and now Assistant Headmaster. We, the class of “45”, wish to express our best wishes for the future and sincere thanks for the past. 1945 RINDGEVIECH SCHOOL 13 RINDGE TECH SCHOOL We Wish to offer our Sincere gratitude to the members of the Rindge Faculty - - for the time they have spent in giving us an education. We wish to thank Mr. Lynch of the French Department for doing so much in supporting the Rindge Athletics, as Faculty Manager. His assistance was indispensable. aa 1945 RINDGE TECH SCHOOL 15 MR. SULLIVAN We of the class of ’45 are fortunate in having Mr. Sullivan at the head of the Eng- lish department. His job is difficult and sometimes distasteful but he always comes through with a smile and good word for all. The class of ’45 could not ask for a better person to lead us in the study we love so much. We value our friendship and as years pass on we will never forget you. MR. CHARLES A. LINEHAN Mr. Linehan, the head of the Mathematics department and a former Rindge student and graduate, has proven to us in the last four years to be more than a teacher and executive. He has proven to be a friend in need. When called upon for assistance, he gives all the help he possibly can. With our deepest regrets the class of 1945 bids you farewell. RINDGE TECH SCHOOE MR. SWEENEY Because of his thorough understanding of the boys’ abilities and weaknesses, he has done his utmost to help them in every pos- sible way. He has led many of his students into fields which have distinguished them, and his valuable teachings have rendered them a sturdy knowledge in aeronautics. His navigational theories have made him an invaluable teacher to the students of Rindge. MR. HAHN Mr. Hahn has also distinguished himself as a teacher of aeronautics. His years of teaching airplane construction and elements of aircraft design have proved this point. His interest in his students has made him one of the favorite teachers in Rindge. We respect him for what he is and for what he is trying to make us. RUINDGESe LECHeSEHOOL MRe CASSIDY | During the years we have spent in Rindge, we have found Mr. Cassidy to be a brilliant teacher in the field of aeronautical engines. He has taught us what we need to know and has taught us well. I am sure his students appreciate, and will even more appreciate in the years to come, the useful knowledge they have acquired from him. MR. SCOTT We wish to thank Mr. Scott for the dif- ficulties he has undergone in preparing many of us for college. We also wish to show our esteem toward Mr. Scott for the fine record he has kept of our fellow school- mates in the service. RINDGE TDEGHsSCHOOE RINDGE SENIOR TEACHERS MR. A. L.

Established 1891 —— Reorganized 1915 Published twice a month by the students of the Rindge Technical School, Cambridge, Massachusetts. CoRdior William Flanagan Henry Hayes Specialty Editor Paul Fopiano Track Editor Ulric Grigsby Football Editor John Daley General News Moses Kennedy Advertising Manager George Shelton Staff Artist Edward Dowler Secretary Harold Jones Faculty Art Advisor Mire his @iRichert Faculty Athletic Advisor Mr. W. McLaughlin Faculty Advisor Mr. W. H. Gomes oh The Rindge Register has had much success this current school year, more than doubling the sales of any other year since its organization in 1891. Twelve issues were published, three of them specialty issues, which met with great satisfaction, from the student body. Its aim has been to satisfy all four classes which I tried hard to accomplish. The annual Christmas story contest did not recetve much response because the material submitted was of low caliber. The school calendar was regarded the best so far. The Register is a member of the National Scholastic Press Association and a regular subscriber to the Scholastic Roto which is published by the University of Minnesota. A great’ deal of its success was due to the untiring efforts of our Faculty Advisor, Mr. Gomes, who has been with us for 25 years. In commemoration of the completion of his 25 years of service he was presented with a gift from the school boys for a job well done. The Register is considered by us to be the best school paper there is. Its past has been successful; its future w7 be bright. “If It Happened At Rindge It Will Be In The Register” 1945 RINDGESLEGHESGHOOL vail Weyl, OLN Silver jn as 1945 phan Tony Mazza, Ulric Grisgby, Paul Fopiano, John Brown.

Its last rays lovingly kissed the golden hair of a girl, and touched caress- ingly the faded features of an old man. They made a pretty picture as they sat face to face with the setting sun. He held her i n his arms, narrating in a voice feeble with age her favorite fairy tales. Suddenly the child sat upright. “Oh grandfather,” she cried, “I found the pret- tiest book in the attic today. Let's make up stories about it.” “Surely, surely child,” he replied, eager to grant her least wish. She was back in a moment carrying a brown book somewhat old and dusty. “Here ’tis,” she shouted in a gay voice. With startled eyes the old man took it. It was a memorandum of four wonderful years at high school; it was his class book. Softly and tenderly he turned the pages. Old familiar faces looked up to him seemingly from every page. Tears started to his eyes, a lump in his throat; the child was forgotten and she crept slowly out of the room so that he might be alone with his dreams. 1945 RINDGE TECH SCHOOL 25 26 RINDGE® TECHESCHOOE 1945 SENIORS Dear Rindge, thy sons are leaving thee to join the others in the fight.

He has coached the hockey team to fame. He ts ever the tireless worker with unyielding, unconquer- able, and unselfish spirit, devoted with purpose, to his, and our, beloved Rindge. To say we are sorry to leave would be untrue; to say we had not enjoyed our stay while at Rindge should be damned. In you, Mr. Mahoney, we have gained a friend at heart; and to you, Mr. Mahoney, we the entire class of ’45 must bid farewell. We know that under your dauntless Courage, the future classes of Rindge will be well guided. Carry on, Mr. William H. Mahoney. 1945 RINDGE SLE CrmoC lOO 67 68 REINDGE TECH = SCHOOE EDITORS PAGE OF SUCCESS To be a success in life is the goal for which many strive. The kind of success that one has earned, depends on his or her interpretation of success. Once that goal is reached, the job becomes easier but does not cease entirely. To maintain the success that has been reached, requires all the knowledge that. has been gained during the struggle for the reward which that person has acquired. What takes years to build, takes seconds to destroy. Although one has the mind and will to win, success is not always the reward. Failure is a common occurence. We are what we want ourselves to be and nothing must stand in our way if we ate to be successful. When I say that nothing must stand in our way, I mean nothing that can be thrown aside with- out destructing the road of happiness, of someone else. Once the height of success is gained it is not secure in one’s possession. As soon as you loosen your grip on your success, others will try to steal it from you, either by sheer cleverness or by foul play. Success is the reward that God has bestowed upon you for your years of hard labor to achieve the height of your ambition, and God can take it away twice as fast if the reward which he has given you is neglected. Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness is the goal for which we strive; Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness is the reward for our labor. RINDGE TECH SCHOOL 1945 TY TNT YIANY inn in x ‘4 ) J; RINDGE TECH SCHOOL Class History The class of ’45 made its debut in the fall of 1941. As all Freshman Classes we found it hard to get used of “Seniority.” As all Freshmen, however, we got accustomed to Rindge and it in turn got used of us. The following is a brief resume of the important happenings that our class experience d during its four year stay. As the first year rolled along it was apparent our class was taken by Rindge’s progressive nature. The Junior Varsity (which saw its end in this year) was composed largely of Freshmen. The Freshman honor roll list grew as the year progressed. Many Freshmen tried for the various teams and thus gained valuable experience. A couple of boys were represented on the Register. We then became able to take on the responsibilities of the Sopho- more Class. This year saw even an increasing number of teachers enter- ing the service. The honor roll and Register Staff were again well represented. Stone, Sheehan and Sampson were on the basketball team; this team was chosen for the Tech Tourney. Augie Messuri and Dick Kelly were spares on the Hockey Squad. Augie also became the star shortstop on the baseball team. Richard Ingram and Melvin Ginsburg won first and third prizes respectively in the Annual Christmas Story Contest... Arthur Mathison, Keith Rawlins, Alfred Porreta and Albert Doniato were members of the band. The Band this year took first prize in three events. Again we climbed the ladder to take over the Junior Class. 1945 RINDGES TECEe SCHOOL CLASS HISTORY Just to prove, conclusively that the class of ’45 was one of spirit, a number of boys (Andrew, Finn, Mazza, Hogan, Wilkie and Zulon) gained with the kind assistance of Mr. Edward Cas- sidy, permission to renew the electing of Junior Class Council. The boys elected to this council were: Adams, Sampson, Finn, McKenna, Brown, Wilkie, Donavan, Zulon, and Anderson. This Council failed to do anything because of lack of Unity and Plan- ning. The honor roll was again well represented, the Register found two Juniors as Co-editors, Hayes and Flanagan. Johnson, Donavan, Breton, McKenna, Lusk and Adams were on the Foot- ball Squad. Hockey found Messuri and Kelly with Bromberger and O'Connell. Basketball had Stone, Sampson, Anderson, Dias, Tucelli and Berdekles. Clinton and Grigsby were on the track team. They both did very well. The baseball team found the same team as before adding Arena, Kelly, Haley, Whitney, Ander- son, and Zolontowski. A very good fighting team. Thus we finally became seniors. First came the Football season. With Adams as captain and all of last year’s team we expected a good fighting team. Some of the new members were Anthony Arena and Allen Dias. Rindge put out this year one of its best teams in its history. Although they won but a few games they beat the Cambridge High and Latin School on Columbus Day. During the football season the seniors held their Senior Election. Clinton—President, Trotto—Vice President, D’Agos- tino—Secretary, and Cabrol—Treasurer. Some of those elected to the council are Brown, Rawlins, Whitney, Bromberger, and Hayes. These officers with the aid of the other councilors are doing a splendid job in producing the various Senior duties. al 42 RINDGE TECH SCHOOL CLASS HISTORY Again Hayes and Flanagan were chosen co-editors of the Register. The Hockey team was again blessed with the best center on the league, Dick Kelly. Track and Baseball had at the time this book was published, the last years teams to go by. As Freshmen we had wished to be Sophomores, as Sopho- mores we desired to be Juniors, as Juniors we strove to be Seniors, but now as Seniors we can only hope we were freshmen again. The individual years may have seemed long, but thinking back we can see it was only a limited part of our lives. A stepping stone in the road of life. We sincerely thank the members of the Faculty who dil- igently strove to make us better citizens and aided those that were striving for a higher education. We the class of 1945 thank you. 1945 RINDGE TECH SCHOOL 73 RINDGE- TECH SCHOOL 1945 HACE OF GAME THIS INSTITUTION IS FAST BECOMING one of Rindge’s great- est assets.

Most of them made good in their various professions and trades. The class met with success unparalleled in the history of Rindge and there are a number of prominent men represented in the various professional fields. Here is a directory as to what the boys are now doing. Most of the boys fought in the Second World War. We are sorry for those that lost their lives fighting for this country. Frank Trotto, the governor, and Livingston Jones, the D.A., together with Joe Cabral as state treasurer, represent us very well in the State Government. Coccoluto has a chicken farm and he’s got a factory whete he turns out eggs in mass production. Bob McKenny, the head coach at B.C., has as his backfield coach Anthony Arena. B.C. also has for its Basketball coach, two Rindge boys, Allen Dias and John Stone. Bob Kurkul, the truant officer, is doing quite well. He took the job because he didn’t want anyone to be like him when he was in school. - Louts Ford, Roland Clark, Harold Thompson, and Paul Butler are the new Ink Spots. They have just been signed by N.B.C. at $2,000 a week. There are quite a few engineers. Zulon, Hannigan, Ham- mond, Dziedzic, Brackley, and Hogan have done quite well after receiving their B.S.’s at Tech. Fopiano, Mathison and Ingram have just opened a chem- ical concern known as the Consolidated Chemical Company of Charleston, Washington. Anderson is manager of the Red Sox and he understands that Wood is the head of the Street Dept. RINDGE TECH SCHOOL Harry Greenstien has just invented a new Atom Smashing Machine. He’s working at Westinghouse. Also at Westinghouse are Bill Hickey, Tom Gibbons, Ralph Terella, and Ed. Nugent. The two Kelly boys “Doc” and “Red” have gone into the embalming fluid business. They have a large factory up in Ayer. Bob Clinton and Dick Kelly met the other day while they were in New York at the World Wide Dentist Club. I heard that Clinton’s wife had a baby and Wilkey was the doctor in charge. John Bederian is making plenty of money in the Laboratory Supply Business out in Ohio. Keith Rawlins and Paul Burns are teachers out in Seattle, Washington. They say that they both teach at the same school. Keith is teaching English and Paul History. Lawrance Layne and Bob Johnson have gone into the tonic business. Tom Hogan is the head of an Aircraft Concern and he’s seen Dunn and Flynn doing some research work in the wind tunnel with their Rocket Plane. Thorne, the eye specialist, and Rezendes, the foreign ambas- sador, met the other day in Columbus, Ohio. Ahearn, Taylor, and Dance are master electrons now. They are doing a good job at the hotel they just bought. Paul Aiken, who just left Reno (his sixth time) met Sheehan and Stone, the big Funeral Directors, when they layed’ away Varandas’ wife. Sampson, Dizzy on Henry Aldrich’s program, and Harris the shrimp, have radio jobs with the “Life is so Sweet at Eighteen” program. RINDGE TECH SCHOOL Grigsby, the Olympic Champ, and Adams, Ferante, and Donavan were awatded medals for their fine work in Track and Physics. Flanagan is doing a bang up job at Tech., where he’s assis- tant professor of Physics. z Bob Doherty, Fred Cotter, and John Callahan have gone into business and IJ just overheard that the Robert Ryder Cartoon Pic- ture Co. is to make a picture of Bob Doherty’s life. It’s called “Dohetty.” Our Congress is under Rindge control with George Rothman, Bob Ryder, Leo Saidnawey, Bob Sampson, Benny Santello, Danti Scarponi, Charles Schmiz, Don Scott and Art Sears in the drivers seat. All right, so it’s a big drivers seat. John Stone is a great criminal lawyer, who acquired his knowledge from 123. Even now we have politicians; Ralph Terella, Wilfred Tay- lor and little Eddy Sullivan have become the big shots of Hoboken. Anthony D’ Agostino went into business with Charley Theti- ault with the intentions of running the aircraft industry. Guess what? Al Dias graduated and has become a lonely heart expert. W ell, let us return to the present and wish the whole class the best of luck and although all were not mentioned we can be sure that they will be very successful and will, by far, be the best class in the history of the RINDGE TECHNICAL SCHOOL. = © © an Y WN en S m H a OQ Q “ pd n ora : | n pA GAVE TRE Les Wier i f yy Whi) we MMi m1) lt) Tosi, Louis J.

Know all men by these presents; That we, the Senior Class of the Rindge Technical School of Cambridge, Massachusetts being quite aware of the nature of these proceeding facts do hereby draw up, as a token of gratitude to future Rindge graduates, a last Will and Testa- ment. It is our strongest desire that future classes will abide by our “Will.” We appoint Mr. William Mahoney as the “executor” of these wills that are set forth. In carrying them out a fair amount of justice should be shown in teachers, but in cases where there is a doubt in the privileges of the pupil and the teacher, the pupil will always have precedence. First: We bequest to the class of ’46 the right to be the most brilliant and successful class in the History of Rindge. Second: We bequest to the class of 46 to help the incoming freshmen to open their lockers, and to accept any amount of money for protective purpose. Third: To the class of 1949 we leave a fund to be used in the purchase of locker lowerers and one doz. ladders so that they may reach their lockers. Fourth: We donate to the school a sum of money to be used for the purchase of elevator keys so that the boys will not strain their growing bodies. Fifth: We leave with the Cambridge School Committee a suggestion that escalators be installed between the floors to stop the wear and tear on the stairs. Sixth: We give thanks to our teachers, our advisor and prin- cipal who so patiently tolerated us. The thought of leaving, we feel, will cause them much unhappiness. RINDGES TECHSSCHOOL Seventh: We donate a sum of money to be used in the pur- chase of unbreakable bottles in the lunchroom. Eighth: We suggest that all the teachers abolish homework one day each week so that the boys’ tired minds can have a rest. Ninth: To the Juniors we leave all pleasing suspense for the future social year. Many were the embarrassing situations we found facing us on many of our social occasions. Tenth: We leave to the Library a large lock so that none of the absent minded boys will walk away with all of the good books we have obtained. To the cafeteria, we leave a small fund to buy a couple of turnstiles to keep the boys in line. Twelfth: In conclusion we leave with the school hope that Rindge’s teams, Traditions, and ideals will remain as we have known them to be. The preceding was signed, published, and declared as and for their last will and testament, and at their request we sign our names as one big body, THE CLASS OF 1945 RINDGE TECH SGHOOE RINDGE’S WARRIORS ie All hail to Rindge’s Warriors Long may they reign supreme A husky bunch of warriors, And they'll sure clean up your team Out of the field of conflict They bow to no team’s skill And like the men of might they are They fight with right good will: Chorus Then give a hearty cheer for Rindge—Rah! Rah! May she never taste defeat We'll never say “die” but Up men and try for the Glory of old Rindge. Ta Ce | | fy ee Eoce Re Nat ahd “ RINDGESLECHSSCHOOE RINDGE SCHOOL Standing—Coach Metevier, D.

Through their association we have learned not only the game of football but also the game of life. Their untiring efforts have borne fruit, not only on the gridiron, but also in the minds of the boys which they have coached. We wish to thank Coach Metevier for the cherished memories of the 1944 football team that will always be borne in our minds. RINDGE TECH SCHOOL THE FOOTBALL [TRAM-=s% The team started this year with a warm spirit of avenging the record of the preceding year. Our long hours of practice started even before school was in session and the team started to take shape. The senior class was well represented on the first eleven with six of the upper classmen taking top berths. In our first game with a strong Waltham team we dropped a close one by two touchdowns. In the following two weeks we were well beaten by other class A teams and the team looked like 1t faced another non-victorious year. The wind suddenly changed however when on Columbus day the Rindge Football team took the field against Cambridge Latin, spirit was high and our playing brilliantly as we battered our ancient rivals to a 6-0 defeat. The following week displaying the same sort of spirit, we held an airborne Lawrence team to a 0-0 count. On Thanksgiving day an undefeated Somerville team met a Rindge team that literally was to be no opposition. At the half, after super-playing on the part of our boys, the score still stood at 0-0. During the second half Rindge tired, and Somerville finally broke through to score a victory. The first team was composed of Captain Carl Adams, L. E.; Bill Weily ss Ile sBob McKenney, L- G:; Dick Conlon, C7) Bob Breton, R.G.; Bob Johnson, R. T.; Art. Gisbourne, R. E.; Danny Silvan ©: Bz JimiWenneally, eH, B.;-Clate LeGrand) RI:B.; Tony Arena, F. B.; W. Lusk, A. McCaffrey, G. Whitney, and P. Spillane closely pressed these boys for their positions. On paper the football team of the class of 1945 was any- thing but good, but the spirit and work poured into practice and games tank with the best teams that Rindge has ever produced. 90 RINDGE TECH SCHOOL 1943 In the back row, left to right are Glennon, Cliff Mansir, Louis Bromberger, Al McCaffrey, Bill Bolduc, Mailloux, and Mr. Mahoney. Seated in the front row, left to right ave Pete Messuri, Auggie Messuri, Lennie Gagnon, Ray Picard, Dick Briand, and Red Kelly. COACH WILLIAM MAHONEY Coach Bill Mahoney has again shown his ability as a hockey coach by turning out a successful team and ending up near the top of the league. He has shown his boys an example of leader- ship which will follow them through the coming years. To you, Mr. Mahoney, our coach, our teacher, and our friend, we wish to bid you farewell. 1945 RIN DGESIEGH SCHOOL EES HOCKE YS TEAM (44-45) Rindge dropped their second game to Stoneham 6-1. After this game the pucksters got the cockiness out of their system, taking the Newton game 6-0. Melrose was able to tie us 1-1. The following week Rindge took the Arlington game to the slaughter house with a 10-2 victory. This has been the highest scoring game all year. One of our toughest games all year was with Medford to determine if we would get into the first division playoffs. After a hard fought game the Rindgers came on top for a 2-1 victory. Rindge has been the only team to beat Med- ford all year, thus far. The second team to beat Medford in their games in two years. Clinching the city championship from Co-captain Tony Frasca and Co-captain Din Downing of Cam- bridge Latin 4-1. Our first two play off games were with Medford and Stoneham in which Rindge was defeated in both games 3-1. Although the Technicians out-played, out-skated, and out- shot both these schools we still lost. It was almost impossible but true. The Tech’s played Andover with a loss of 2-1. And Exeter with an overtime loss of 8-7. The Tech’s ended their hockey season with Newton. My predictions for this game are 5-0 in favor of Rindge. The Seniors leaving the Hockey Team this year are Red Kelley, Louis Bromberger, Bill Bolduc, and Cliff Mansir, and also Duggie Messuri, star defense man, is leaving for the Armed Forces. 9) RINDGE TECH SChHioon Standing—Nonis, G.

To: say that the seniors on the 1945 track team regret that their period of being under his guidance has come to an end is but mildly expressing our feelings. I find that it is not within my scope at this time to literally express our gratitude for the lessons that he has taught us, but in the coming years I expect these les- sons to bear good fruit a hundred fold. As a track coach Mr. Dufty’s record speaks for itself. He has turned out championship teams ever since his stay at Rindge. RINDGES PECH SCHOOL Eee ROA ChE ANE “Get on your mark, Get set, Go!” were the words that started the 1945 track team on its semi-successful season. Every afternoon, warm or cold, the track squad took the boards of the track in back of Latin for another strenuous practice. The turnout at the beginning of the year bettered that of the previous year but we still had a small squad. Our first meet was in the balcony track over at the Boston “Y.”’ In this meet our relay team had tough luck as the last man slipped and Arlington won. The following week we returned to the “Y” for the Northeastern which found our boys placing in the dash, hurdles, 300 yd., and 600 yd. run. State champions, Newton journeyed to Cambridge to be almost upset by our team as they won 40-32. In this meet we found Ulric Grigsby starring, while Bob Clinton took the 600 yd. run. Kenneth Walker and Donald Scott also took honors in the shotput. . The following Saturday afternoon we went to Malden, where we placed second out of about ten teams. Grigsby, Clinton, Bee, and F. Hughes took honors in their respective events. One week before the State meet a Somerville High team suf- fered a defeat at our hands, marking the first tim e in two years that a Rindge team in any sport had accomplished this. Our boys showed some fine running by taking 4 firsts, 7 seconds, and 3 thirds. Captain Grisby took first hurdles and 300 yd. run. Bob Clinton took the lead on the last lap to win in 1 min. 22 seconds in the 600 and Frank Hughes galloped home at the head of the crowd in the 1000 yds. The State meet found us placing Jessie Bee, in the 45 yd. dash, Nob Clinton in the 600 yd. run and Al Collins in the 1000 yd. run. A relay team composed of Thomas Hilse, Robert Clin- ton, James Barron and Ulric Grigsby took a 5th for three points. Our first meet of the outdoor track season will be a quad- - rangular meet at Newton. This will be followed by a dual meet with Somerville and then come the Belmont Relays. The last meet of the season will be at Newton where the State meet will be held. Seniors to make their letters were Ulric Grigsby, Robert Clinton, Kenneth Walker, and Donald Scott.

Dias. COAGH TOM MURPH. Mr. Murphy has been coaching Rindge’s basketball teams for the past fifteen years. During that time he has coached many outstanding teams. Coach Murphy is a graduate of Boston Col- lege of the Class of 1924. While attending Boston College he starred in basketball and football. Before coming into possession of the basketball team he coached the Rindge football team. Mr. Murphy is rated as one of the best basketball coaches in this section and so the boys on the team wish to voice their thanks and bid him farewell. 1945 RINDGE TECH SCHOOL LHe BASE EB Ly LEA M Before the start of the season Rindge had hopes of turning out another Tech Tourney Team, which Tom Murphy had so ably done in the years past. Bob Sampson and John Stone were elected co-captains. The opening game saw Rick Anderson, John Stone, Bill Rawlins, Ted Berdekles and Charlie Schmiz take the floor against a highly favored Somerville team. The Technicians played out- standing ball the whole game but were beaten by a 50-39 score. Once again tragedy befell the Rindge hoopsters as their star Bill Rawlins took sick and was confined to bed indefinitely, Sam Sampson was out for the season with a foot injury. Jim Ken- neally, a promising junior, left school to enter the service and Allen Dias, a last year letter man, was declared ineligible. Our tivals from across the lawn, Cambridge Latin, came over to beat Rindge by a score of 40-32. Though severely crippled the Rindge quintet up and beat the strong Waltham and Watertown teams. John Stone takes top honors in the high scoring bracket with Willes Schmiz a close second. Other players and lettermen were Ted Berdekles, Ed Shee- han, Paul Collins, Henry Ewanouski, Richie Anderson, Ralph Terella, and Tony Arena. The basketball of 1945 is another team that has carried on glorious banners of Rindge. 95 RINDGE. TECH SCHOOL THE BASEBALL TEAM AND ATS POSSIBIELIIES Our baseball team played some fifteen games this season, losing nine and winning four Suburban League games. A non- league game was won at Andover, while we lost another to the Harvard B team 7-5. Coach McLaughlin said that the 1944 team lacked experience but that the ability was always present. The lineup for last year’s team will be the same in this coming season with George Haley, Tony Arena, George Whitney, and Dick Briand in the outfield. Bill Bolduc, Dick “Red” Kelly, Rickie Anderson, Pete Missuri, Glennon, Burns, and Ray Picard con- trolling the infield. Behind the bat Rindge will be represented by Walter Zoluntowski, who did the catching last season. John Hanson, Ellis and Clyde Layne will be responsible for all the pitching assignments. At the time of this writing it is expected that all these boys will turn out for the team so that with the experience gained from last year ’s games this team is expected to be a real threat to the Suburban League title in this coming season of 1945. George Whitney, an outfielder, will be tested for a first base position because of a gap in the infield. Since there are about fourteen lettermen back this year it is difficult to predict the first nine. I am confident that through Coach McLaughlin’s guidance the nine best ballplayers will start the first game of the 1945 season which is scheduled at Watertown. Coach McLaughlin and the whole school expect these boys to play winning ball and put the name of Rindge on the top of the League where it belongs. 1945 RINDGE TECH SCHOOL Epilogue and we hope we have done it fittingly. But our limita- tions are manifold= and our best but poorly expresses the love © we cherish for our beloved school. OUR MEMORIES will be with us always —™ and here we merely indicate the paths through which our thoughts will readily carry us as the years deepen the joys that reminiscences will renew.
