Rindge Technical School - Brownie Yearbook (Cambridge, MA)

Yrologue As one turns the pages of this yearbook one will realize that it truly represents the end of an era for the “Class of 1965”. In reality, four years of our lives lie between the covers that so modestly hold together a period of time so short and yet so profound in meaning that one will not realize its great importance for a number of years. During our years at Rindge we have grown in as many ways as has the area in which we live. The greenhouse we have been raised in is truly the center of the world, for from Cambridge, as from a bright star, shoot beams of light which illumine the four corners of the globe. This light which brings brightness into the world takes the image of people who are endowed with profound knowledge and genuine ideals. The robust atmosphere which surrounds us and is truly depicted to be that of Cambridge is the paramount reason why we, graduates of the class of 1965, must go out into the world and bring glory not only to ourselves and our school but to the city which has been our home and our pride. Come now, let us turn the page and begin our short but memorable journey into a fruitful past.

On January 26, 1965, Rindge suffered a great loss in the passing of Mr. Thomas E. Smith. Mr. Smith, a lifelong Cambridge resident and at one time a member of the Rindge student body, graduated with the Class of 1925. He then went to Boston College where he starred on the football team as fullback and linebacker. Mr. Joseph McKenney, Mr. Smith’s college football coach, and now Director of Physical Education in the Boston School Department, said, “Tom was a tremendous football player and a gentleman.” Mr. Warren McGuirk, onetime teammate of Mr. Smith, and now Director of Athletics at the University of Massachusetts, said of Mr. Smith, “He was a great guy.” Our own Director of Athletics, Mr. Joseph A. Koslowski, said of Mr. Smith, “He was a fine coach and a good friend.” We all know that the words of these men are true, and we could add many to them. Mr. Smith came to Rindge in 1932, and since that time devoted himself to the good of Rindge students. We will greatly miss him, but he will never be forgotten by those of us who knew him. In the hope that it may help us remember our devoted teacher and coach for years to come, we, the Class of 1965, hereby dedicate this yearbook to Mr. Thomas E. Smith.
