MAHONEY We, the class of 1946, owe a deep sense of grati- tude to our friendly and cheerful faculty advisor, Mr. Mahoney. The spirit with which he has undertaken to solve all the difficult problems of our class shows how deeply rooted in his nature is that great gift, kindness. Mr. Mahoney was at no time too busy to assist us in organizing our numerous activities. Without his abundant knowledge, his prudent counsel and his ten- acity of purpose it would have been almost impossible for our class to be a success. That many years of health, happiness and service are before you, is the heartfelt wish of the Class of 1946, which feels that in selecting you as our class advisor, we have honored ourselves. Thank you once again, Mr. Mahoney. 56 ain cae HN Df ih tn i 2 BUH VW WMLDAN | VACLLUN WT oe ite ee The History of the Class of 1946 September 15, 1942, to June 3, 1946 FRESHMEN With Pearl Harbor still fresh in mind the latest class of freshmen gathered in the Edward W. Quinn Auditorium on the morning of Septem- ber 15, 1942 to receive their program cards and an outline of future life at Rindge. The Class of 46 the newest and tiniest “Frosh” wandered bewildered and amazed through the endless maze of corridors in search for numbers corresponding to those on our newly obtained cards. The real problems of the day came with the two-minute inter-period “Walkathons” with such obstacles to be overcome as: one-way stairways, slippery floors, sharp corners, swinging doors, jammed lockers and race officials placed along the track, eager to detain at 2:06 any and all those 57 who cheated by running and it might be added that the eighth period was very popular. Oh! Those struggles to open lockers; if only the Atomic Bomb had been invented three years earlier. In vain we prayed that Mr. Banks and Mr. Eagan would allow us to make stools to reach the top section of the locker. Well at least our taller buddies told us that there was a top sec- tion although many of us were never to see it as Freshmen. SOPHOMORES Thousands of planes bombed France, Germany and Italy, the Salerno beachhead is made secure. The very foundation of Europe rocked from the might of the Allies. Truly the coming on storm heralded and marked forever the graduation of °46 into the ranks of upper classmen. No sooner had we been acclaimed men, and the noise and tumult that had hailed our intiation into the ranks of sophomores grown louder when many of our teachers had left to teach a lesson they may never forget, for it was well taught. During cur sophomore year we began to understand and appreciate the meaning of the phrase “school spirit” for although the odds were piled up high against us, Rindge fought with undying spirit on the gridiron, ice, court, track and diamond to uphold our hig h standard. JUNIORS By this time the whole world has been shakened by the anger of the American people as B-29’s carried our message to the heart of Japan and while the ground armies prepared to march on to Berlin; there were also great events taking place in this country for the class of ’46 had moved into second position as Juniors. The fall has once more rolled around and with it came the “Battle of the Books.” On the sideline of our race for time we find a man armed with his “little black book of bad boys” in which, like Gabriel, he noted faithfully our failures but occasionally he came across a boy armed with textbooks and paper who was acclaimed the ‘“Winnah ?” As Juniors we became organized; we held our first elections. Anthony LaRocca was elected President; Robert O’Brien, Vice-President; Robert Basteri, Treasurer; and John Finlayson, Secretary. Immediately the Junior Council led by the newly elected officers started the proverbial ball rolling. The Junior Dances held respectively in April and May at the Lass- man Gymnasium were beyond a doubt both a social and financial success. Those who could not dance to the music of Fred Sateriale and his Ore- hestra resolved to join Mr. Ladd’s dancing class in the fall. Mr. Mahoney gave his time and energy to assist the officers in making the arrangements for these affairs. 58 It was announced to us that we would be missing Mr. George Gholke and Mr. Frank Banks as they had made plans to retire and during the summer the death of James F. Conlin, Assistant Headmaster, was announced. About this time we began to appreciate the scenery in the vicinity of the Public Library at 1:50 each day. Our keen interst in watching the parade of streamlined forms led us to resolve as vacation rolled around in June to give Van Johnson, Boyer and Sinatra some serious competition. SENIORS A lot has come to pass since we last layed down our pens. We have seen victory over Germany and Japan beaten to their knees by the Atomic Bomb. These great events have made us realize that we are now men with the responsibilitis of men. It was with a sense of relief that we learned that most of us would be able to finish our education but a large number had already enlisted in the service of our country. Now as the war had ended Rindge was returning to normal. Teachers and students were once more walking the corridors after three to four yeas in the far flung corners of the world. The newly elected Senior Class officers were Anthony LaRocca, Presi- dent; Earl Boutin, Vice-president; Robert Basteri, Treasurer and Armand Gagnon, Secetary. Great events took place on the ice of the Boston Garden as the Rindge pucksters skated by with the G.B.I. championship and the original first team consisted entirely of seniors. They are co-captains Lenny Gagnon and Dick Briand, Al Robichaud, Peter Messuri, Edward Mailloux and Ray Picard. There are still two more great accomplishments for the class of 46. These come in the form of the Senior Prom to be held in May and the publication of the 1946 ‘‘Brownie.” This then is the Recorded history of R.T.S. class ’46. What of the future? The great Roger M. Lanoue, Class Seer, has read the cards and gazed long and earnestly into his gold-fish bowl. He tells all in the Class Prophecy. 59 SENIOR CLAS OFFICERS 60 Ow , --. | ‘ | ’ il Vol. XV—No. 6 MONDAY, JANUARY 28, 1967 CITY GETS PLANE PLANT A jubilant Rindgeville City Council announced today that complete arrangements for the construction of a gigan- tic airplane plant in this city have been made with Aero- nautical Aircraft Incorporated.

She loves every last dollar I have. Her mother loves me, too. So, I just don’t have a thing to worry about. One thing puzzles me, though.

CONLIN While we were on our vacation last summer, we were shocked to hear the news that our beloved Asst. Head Master, Mr. James F. Conlin, had passed away.

In 1925 he was appointed Asst. Head Master. MISS JANE MOSHER Just a few months after we entered Rindge as Seniors, we received the news that Miss Jane Mosher had passed away. She had been confined to her home with a heart ailment for a couple of weeks and was apparently on the road to recovery, when she was stricken. Miss Mosher had been with us for 27 years.

One person cannot do something alone, he must have help from somebody else to supply him with ideas and to discuss important points with. It is virtually impossible to do these things alone. There are times, of course, when a leader may feel that he is not getting the cooperation he feels he needs from the people under him, but if he should look back he would find that he was wrong, that he has re- ceived the due cooperation even though there may be a slack at the pre- sent time. There were times when I was working on some part of this book that I felt that I was all alone or that only one or two boys were helping me, but as I look back over the material going into the book I find that I was sadly mistaken. If it were not for the secretary, the records would not be kept straight and in good condition, if it were not for the treasurer the money proposition would be all mixed up, and so it goes to each and every member of the Year Book Staff. If it were not for every single one of them this book would have been a dismal failure. Cooperation is indeed a wonderful thing. 75 The Rindge Technical School Building feel R TRCHMICAL SEHOOL, The Tablet in the First Floor Corridor 74 sf 4 4 4 é é a The Machine Shop View of the Machine Shop Shop f the Machine iew o 7 76 The Edward W.

The games with our traditional rivals finished with a vic- tory over our Cambridge Latin friends but a defeat from our Somerville neighbors. The touchdown against CHLS was scored by Billy Hill, a J. V. half- back while the lone tally against Somerville was made by speedy hafback Tom Heise. Most worthy of praise were these boys; Capt. Dan Silva who was quarterback and the team’s only passer; Tom Heise, Bill Lusk and Le- Grand who despite overwhelming odds fought every minute they were in the game; Paul Spillane who was fullback for every minute of every game; Al Sullivan who played tackle and received honorable mention from sports writers and who played wonderful football every game; Art Gis- bourne who was injured midway though the season but finished the season at center; last but not least Luke Maher, who played guard and did all the kicking for the team. This year Junior Varsity and Freshman teams were organized and both had successful seasons and great possibilities are seen for the future. 81 First Row:(Left to Right) Richard Rooney, Leonard Gagnon, Raymond Picard, Richard Briand, Albert Robichaud, Peter Messuri, Edward Mailloux.

The Brown and White opened its season by downing its ancient rival Cambridge High and Latin School. Rindge continued on with substantial victories over Belmont, Stone- ham, Newton, and Melrose in that order. Playing without the services of Ed Mailloux, star defenseman, Rindge lost their next two games to Arlington and Medford. Rindge returned to first place by winning their next two games against Arlington and Medford. These two teams were the only ones to beat Rindge during the season. Continuing on the victory road, the Techni- —Boston Globe Picard, Rindge goalie, looks disgusted after Needham made its 3rd goal. 85 cians defeated Newton and annexed the G. B. I. crown in the last game of the season. This outstanding Rindge team was selected to compete in the Metro- politan Tournament to decide the state champions. Rindge’s first line featured the great scoring pair, Lennie Gagnon and Dick Briand. Those clever French stylists finished first and second in the league’s individual scoring. Al Robichard completed the line and although not as flashy as his line mates, thrilled Rindge fans with his steady play- ing and “never say die” spirit. The forward trio was supported by one of the best defence combina- tions in the school’s history. Pete Messuri played the majority of every game at his right defence position while Ed Mailloux did likewise at left de- fence until an injury forced him to retire for the remainder of the season. —Boston Globe 84 Dick Rooney filled in for the injured Mailloux and did an outstanding job. Ray Picard, the Rindge goal tender, was chosen as the outstanding net minder of the state. He was one of the reasons for Rindge’s success during the season. The starting team was rewarded for its fine playing by being selected as members of the G. B. I. All Stars. Backing up this first team was a capable group of spares able to hold their own against any team in the league. Among them were Ed Moran, Donald Glennon, Ralph O’Brien, Maurice Dillon, Bob Rochon and Dick LaVache. A great deal of this season’s success was due to the outstanding in- struction and timely judgment of Coach Bill Mahoney. To Mr. Mahoney is left the difficult task of moulding a completely new sextet for next season. —Boston 85 Post Seated: (Left to Right) Joseph Truscello, Geno Neri, Bill Rawlins, Henry Ewanowski, Paul Collins, Domenick Dell’ Anno, Jack Rutter.

Rindge the “Pride of the Suburban League” once again will have to fight its way up the lad- der. The season started out with a loss from league winner Newton. Then the team went to play in the Gardens and lost their Captain, on the Boston Gardens waxed floors against Arlington, as a result of a double sprain and a torn ligament. Coach Murphy tried to pull the team out of their slump but all in vain for Rindge took to the floors to drop down again and again in de- feat. Even in defeat the team fought back and then came a victory against Watertown. And one can feel proud and great to play on a win- ning team but you have to have a lot of courage to play with a losing team when everything is against them so let’s give the boys a little credit. They were: Ewanowski, Collins, Rawlins, Gallant, Truscello, Neri, Rutter, Lawrie, Gilbert, Dalif, Delano and Greenidge. In every season a team whether good or bad at one time or the other outplays itself. This was true also of Rindge. Just before the tradi- tional Rindge vs. Latin game local papers favored Latin by twenty points at least. Even to a poor team this can spark a little life and so it did. Rindge took to the floor as the underdog of the league and outplayed them almost to the point of handing the cocky Latin team a defeat. They lost to Latin by two points. Well good luck fellows; you’re great sports. Coach Thomas Murphy Thomas Murphy, our Basketball coach, is considered one of the best in the state and this fact cannot be denied. He proved his ability in years back by putting out some great teams as in ’39, ’40 and ’41. In our estimation Tom Murphy is one of the best coaches in the country and we wish him the best of luck and may he have many more successful teams. 87 Seated: (Left to Right) Henry Ambush, Alvin Collins, David Smith, Thomas Heise, Cap- tain; Max Whell, Thomas Haine.

The team looked bright with such undergraduates as Al Collins, Capt. Tom Heise, George Hughes, Henry Ambush and James Bailey. Al Collins, although only a sophomore, ranks high among the 1000 yarders in the state. Tom Heise came out as a Freshman and has now developed into a master of dashes, hurdles and as anchorman on the relay team. George Hughes is bound for higher stakes next year as a 600 yard man. Henry Ambush is a “jack of all trades” for he can take his turn at the dashes, short sprints, hurdles and the high jump. James Bailey has good 88 possibilities as a high jumper, and with more practice he may make a good contender for the high jump title in the State Meet next year. The Seniors have shared in the honors this year for Danny Silva, Tobin, and John Hansen have greatly helped in accumulating the points which the team registered this year. Silva running alternately in the long and short distances seemed to be a great help on the relay team also. Tobin and Hansen ran the dashes and short sprints and helped on the relay team. Rindge had the talent this year and came through pretty well in the dual meets, but here’s wishing them better luck next year. Coach Thomas Duffy Under the able guidance of one of the best track coaches in the State, Thomas Duffy, the track team had a fairly successful season in which they won their dual meets but were not so successful in the State Meets. The members of the team and school wish to thank Mr. Duffy for the help and training he has given the boys. —Boston Post 89 1945 Suburban League Champs!

We have two veterans from last year’s cham- pionship team; John Hansen, Pitcher and Capt. Pete Messuri, Second base. Altogether there are ninety-five candidates out and they are in pretty good shape for the coming season. The boys have been watched pretty close during practice and among the best are: Roy Picard, Pete Messuri, Dick Briand, Dick Rooney, Bob Basteri, Don Glennon and Jerry Coughlin. These are only a few of the outstanding players. The team will have to go some to beat last years suburban league champs, but with the right kind of luck they may come out the winners. Among the tough teams they’ll have to beat is our old rival, Cambridge Latin, whom I understand has her eye on the championship. Coach William McLaughlin Bill McLaughlin has for many years coached our baseball team, and has produced some of the best teams going. The fellows say he’s a regular coach and makes fun out of their practice sessions. He’s one of the best and we wish him a lot of luck with his future teams. Ha!

It was held in the Alfred EK. Lassman Memorial Gymnasium. The music, furnished by Fred Sateriale and his Six Rythm Kings, was greatly en- joyed by all those present. The dance committee headed by the four officers really outdid them- selves as a record attendance was seen. The committee consisted of the following: Anthony LaRocca, Earl Boutin, Armand Gagnon, Robert Bas- teri, Donald Fullerton, Allan Garvin, Robert O’Brien, Donald Simpson, James Compton, George Greene, Henry Sohmer, Edward Mailloux, Robert Fitzmaurice, Frances Connolly, and Harold Jones. 96 SENIOR HARVEST DANCE Rindge had its second social event cf the year nineteen hundred and forty six, in the form of a Harvest Dance. It was held in the Alfred E. Lassman Memorial Gymnasium where everyone was pleasingly entertained by the music of Fred Sateriale and his orchestra. CLASS 746 JUNIOR DANCES Last year the class of nineteen hurdred and forty-six had two Junior Dances. The first was on April the sixth, while the second was on May the twenty-ninth of the year nineteen hundred and forty-five. For both of these dances the music was furnished by Fred Sateriale and his orchestra. They were a success both socially and financially. These dances are a challenge to other classes who hope for successful years. OUR SENIOR PROM The Junior and Senior Councils of the class of nineteen hundred and forty-six, have had these dances to raise money for the year-book, gradu- ation expenses, gifts, etc. But primary the aim of every Senior is directed toward the chance of a Senior Prom. This year due to the success of our social events, we of the class of forty-six are to have our Senior Prom cn the 28th of May at the Totem Pole.
