®hr 1952 Foreword During this period of uncertain peace and prob- able war, our young graduates are inevitoMy think- ing of military service as part of their future. But whatever they do when they leave Smith Academy, they will never forget their happy moments as Fresh- men, their gay Sophomore days, their tim.e as adult Juniors. Nor ivill they forget the last wistful, but exciting, days as Seniors. It is with the hope of cap- turing, in pictures and writing, these precious mem- ories of high school days that we proudly present the 1952 ECHO.

Feiker. During the four years he has been with us, we have grown to admire him for his strong sense of leadership, his under- standing, and his humor. We respect him as a fine teacher and a wonderful man. His fairness to all and his good nature have proved to us that he is one of the best teachers that can be found. Therefore, we are taking this opportunity to express our gratitude and appreciation to him, and we very affectionately dedicate this 1952 EC HO to a grand teacher and friend, Mr. Feiker.

We elected the following officers: George Klocko, president; Mitchie Backiel, vice-president; William Korza, treasurer; and Theresa Wilkes, secretary. We held our first class activity, a dance, on April 29. Peter Adamcik ' s orchestra played for our dancing pleasure — it was a great success. Our sophomore year we were very ath- letic. Our boys composed most of the soc- cer team and were also well represented on the basketball floor. In fact, we took the Freshman-Sophomore game for the sec- ond year running. The officers who led us that year were Thomas Romanowski, presi- dent; Mitchie Backiel, vice-president; Mar- garet Englehardt, treasurer; and Anna Kukucka, secretary. Student council repre- sentative was Thomas Prucnal ; sergeant-at- arms, Leonard- Majeskey. Again we had a successful dance — the Halloween Dance — with a school band rounded up at the last minute to fill in for the orchestra that failed to appear. On September 17, only seventeen members returned to resume their studies as juniors. That year we chose Eugene Staszko as president; William Korza, vice-president; Theresa Wilkes, secretary; Connie Pelis, treasurer; Anna Kukucka and George Klocko, Student Council representatives. We juniors were proud to have nine boys go out for sports and also to have six boys receive parts in the annual senior play. Senior Class Advisor George Klocko and Leonard Majeskey spoke on Americanism as Opposed to Commu- nism in an assembly held in observance of Good Government Day. This year also was the year for the annual prize speaking con- test. Ten of us spoke on the eighth of May in the Town Hall. Anna Kukucka and Euclid LaRocque won first prize; Esther Thayer and Thomas Prucnal, second; Har- old Lizak and Theresa Wilkes, third; George Klocko, Gladys Smith, Mitchie Backiel, and Margaret Englehardt all re- ceived fourth. In the spring of that year we took over the square dance concession, in hopes of making enough money for de- fraying Washington trip expenses. During our senior year, we had several money making activities. The proceeds of the play, Seventeenth Summer, presented by the Thespians, went toward our Wash- ington trip fund. We still operated the square dance concession and basketball con- cession. These concessions made work for very many people — as we had to have sand- wich makers, coffee makers and vendors. Also we put on several assembly pro- grams as projects of the Problems of De- mocracy class. One of these was the Voice of America program, featuring broadcasts and an auction to raise money for the Voice of Freedom Campaign. The second was a Good Government Day program. The speak- ers explained the purpose of Good Govern- ment Day; students cast ballots; and George Klocko was elected to go to the State House to represent Smith Academy. Last- ly, we put on a Sportsmanship program in connection with the basketball tournament in which we participated. This program also explained the Babe Ruth Sportsman- ship Award which is given each year. On April 21, 1952, thirteen seniors left for the ever-exciting week in Washington, D. C, and New York City. That is a trip which they will never forget and will al- ways appreciate, because they had to earn money for the expenses themselves. FflerHmA £?m GLASSES SENIOR JUNIOR CLASS JUNIOR CLASS NEWS Last fall, twenty enthusiastic juniors re- turned to Smith Academy to resume their studies. The class officers elected to serve through the year were: Stanley Cybulski, president; Jeanette Zalenski, vice-president; Arlene Pelc, secretary; Sylvia Raffa, treas- urer. Jane Dugal and Donald Bryant were elected to serve on the Student Council. This year the junior class supplied two boys to the soccer team and four to the basketball team. Those who played soccer were Edwin Smith and Richard Woloss, both of whom were regulars. Out for basketball were Edwin Smith, Donald Bry- ant, Richard Woloss and Stanley Cybulski. Edwin Smith and Donald Bryant both made the varsity, and next year ' s team will be hurt by the loss of Bryant, who is now at- tending Northampton High. The junior class was prominent in the senior play this year, with Jane Dugal play- ing the leading role and Fred Belden, Judith Ryan, Annie Foster and Carl Wendoloski all getting important roles. Edwin Smith did a good job as stage manager. On March 2, the juniors took over the square dance concession at the Town Hall. Committees were formed to take their turns in operating the concession. All things considered, the juniors regard this year as a highly successful one. SOPHOMORE CLASS SOPHOMORE CLASS The Sophomore class came into Smith Academy with twenty-six bright students. To start off the year, these officers were elected: president, Pauline Backiel ; vice- president, Robert Kowalski ; secretary, Rita Vollinger; treasurer, Teresa Brassord; and Student Council representative, Bernard Goclowski. The class sponsored a Halloween dance, decorating the hall for the affair with orange and black crepe paper, with a cen- terpiece of pumpkins piled in the center of the floor. To add to the seasonal atmos- phere, Halloween pictures were hung in dif- ferent places around the town hall. This class also had good representation in the school play, having three students in it: Joan Kalentek, playing the part of Lorraine; Teresa Brassord, playing the part of Jane, and Sally Toczko, heading the stage committee. In sports, the class also shone brightly. It had three capable members on the soccer team: Giles Kellogg, playing goalie; Bruce Yarrows, playing fullback; and Bernard Goclowski, playing wing. In basketball, Giles Kellogg and Bernard Goclowski were on the Varsity, while Bruce Yarrows was an active substitute for the Varsity and a starting center for the junior varsity. Also on the junior varsity were Robert Kowalski, Robert Baye, and Peter Backiel. In girls ' basketball, Sally Toczko, Teresa Brassord, Pauline Backiel and Rita Vollin- ger were on the varsity team. These fast and aggressive girls helped considerably to aid the team as a whole to have a very suc- cessful year. FRESHMAN CLASS ? c FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY On September 5, 1951, twenty-five fresh- man students entered Smith Academy. For a few days they wandered around the halls, not knowing which class to go to next. But by the end of the first week, they felt at home in Smith Academy. The class officers elected were Michael Raff a, president; Phyllis Baceski, vice-presi- dent; Jean Klocko, secretary; Stephanie Majeski, treasurer; and Charles Sadoski, student council representative. The boys who tried for soccer were Ron- nie Barrett and Robert Byrne. The freshman boys who went out for basketball were Charles Sadoski, Ronnie Barrett, Pat Zgrodnik and Michael Raffa. Many girls tried for girls ' basketball and the following were chosen: Carol Breor, Phyllis Cybulski, Jean Klocko, Stephanie Majeski, Jane and Joan Romanowski, Pat- ricia Zagrodnik, Stella Kugler, Jean Wells, Frances Porada, Helen Pitchko and Peggy Start. ACTIVITIES STUDENT COUNCIL STUDENT COUNCIL On September 28, 1951, the Student Council held its first meeting and elected the following officers: president, George Klocko; vice-president and secretary-treas- urer, Euclid LaRocque. The other members of the council are: Thomas Prucnal (senior), Donald Bryant and Jane Dugal (juniors), Bernard Goclow- ski (sophomore), and Charles Sadowski (freshman). At the time this report was written, we had encountered only one major problem. This was a towel situation. The previous conditions were that each student would re- ceive one towel and was to launder it him- self. This caused much confusion and lack of spirit on the part of the student body. So a letter was sent to the school board via Mr. Jakobek, asking for a towel a day for those participating in any sport. The outcome was satisfactory, as we got what we asked for. We held our annual magazine campaign to improve our financial situation. The money was and will be used for projects to benefit the students of Smith Academy. PRO MERITO This year the Smith Academy chapter of the Pro Merito Society has an increased membership of pupils, due largely to the fact that sophomores are now eligible for the Pro Merito rating. Thus, there are three groups, the senior, junior, and sopho- more Pro Merito. The sole senior member is James Smith, president; the junior mem- bers include Carl Wendoloski, Jane Dugal, Annie Foster, secretary-treasurer; Fred Belden, and Don Bryant; and the sophomore members are Patricia Novak, Joan Kalentck, and Robert Kowalski. Students are required to have an over-all average of eighty-five or more to be eligible for Pro Merito mem- bership. The Smith Academy Chapter is a member of the Massachusetts Pro Merito Society, which holds annual meetings in the spring and regional meetings in the fall in various schools. A regional meeting was held at Smith Academy on October 5. James Smith presided and guest speaker was Doctor Ro- ger Holmes of Mount Holyoke College who spoke on What Every College Freshman Should Know. After the meeting, a dinner was served and this was followed by danc- ing, which was enjoyed by all. THESPIANS THESPIAN REPORT On November 16, the talented Smith Academy Thespians gave a very good per- formance of Seventeenth Summer, a three-act comedy based on the novel by Maureen Daly. The role of Angie, a charming sensitive girl just on the threshold of growing up, was well played by Jane Dugal, who gave a sympathetic performance. Kitty, Angie ' s youngest sister, an impish girl, fun-loving and likable, was ably portrayed by Judy Ryan, who gave a vigorous and enthusiastic performance. Ann Foster, as Margaret, the attractive oldest sister, gave a sincere and natural performance marked by poise and charm. Lorraine, Angie ' s second oldest sis- ter, a pretty girl, who had not yet found assured happiness, was well done by Joan Kalentek, with cleverness in mannerisms and affectations. As Mrs. Miorrow, the mother, Esther Thayer played the part in a genuinely, sweet, agreeable manner, which gave the family scenes a genuine appeal. Mr. Morrow, the father, a good-looking man, with graying hair, devoted to his family, was played eloquently by Carl Wendoloski. Jack, a tall, good-looking boy, friendly and sincere — just out of high school with high hopes for the future, was cleverly played by Leonard Majeskey. As Art, a good- natured fellow, Margaret ' s fiance, Tommy Prucnal ' s performance was sincere and so- lid. Martin, a supercilious young man with a superior manner, was effectively played by Fred Belden. Margie and Jane, two pretty girls, were cleverly portrayed by Theresa Wilkes and Teresa Brassord. Eu- gene Staszko as Fitz, a gangly fellow, and William Korza as Tony, a smooth handsome boy, displayed typical teen-age smoothness. The action took place in the breakfast room of the Morrow home; the time of Act 1, Saturday morning late in June; Act II, Fourth of July; Act III, Saturday morning in September. Furniture was loaned through the cour- tesy of McCallum ' s Department Store. Music after Act I was presented by the Smith Academy Choral Group under the direction of Miss Maude E. Boyle, music supervisor. A style show was presented, after Act II, by the Household Arts girls, under the direction of Mrs. Mary Spakowski. Through the cooperation of the various committees we were able to produce a suc- cessful play.

The following officers were elected: editor- in-chief, Euclid LaRocque; associate editors, Anna Kukucka, Fred Belden, and Sylvia Raff a; art editor, Thomas Prucnal; assistant art editors, Esther Thayer, Thomas Roma- nowski, and Mitchie Backiel; literary edi- tors, Margaret Englehardt and Annie Fos- ter; sports editors, Judith Ryan, Bernard Goclowski, and Robert Kowalski; production staff, Sally Toczko, Gladys Smith, Sylvia Raff a, and Dorothy Pelis; busines managers, Carl Wendoloski and Judith Jennes; reporter staff, Theresa Wilkes, Esther Thayer, Joan Ziezulewicz, Margaret Ziezulewicz, Jeanette Zalenski, Carol Breor, Jean Klocko, Ann Parmenter, John Brassord and Euclid La- Rocque. We owe our deepest gratitude to the ad- visorship of Mrs. Pruzynski and Miss Ryan, who aided us diligently to make our paper a success. YEARBOOK YEARBOOK STAFF This year the class of 1952 is publishing the ECHO without an editor. It has been customary for many years to have an editor; but we organized a committee the first part of October. We found this arrangement much more efficient, since there was much cooperation. In other words, we worked as a group; we did not have any associates or other staff officers. We were ably advised by Mr. Jakobek, who gave his time unselfish- ly. The staff of this yearbook consists of the following: Anna Kukucka, Margaret Engle- hardt, Gladys Smith, Theresa Wilkes, Robert Kowalski, Esther Thayer, Euclid LaRocque, Leonard Majeskey, Harold Lizak, Thomas Prucnal, Annie Foster, Carl Wendoloski, Judith Ryan, Fred Belden, and Jean Wells. The senior class wishes to thank each and everyone for the splendid job and the co- operation. With such cooperation, we were able to produce this 1952 ECHO. CHORAL GROUP CHORAL GROUP At the beginning of the school year, twenty-nine students reported for music and elected the following officers: president, Judy Ryan; vice-president, Pauline Sadow- ski; and secretary-treasurer, Euclid LaRoc- que. On the music committee, which was in charge of distributing music books and sheets, were Ann Parmeter, Peggy Start, and Euclid LaRocque. In charge of publi- city was Bob Kowalski. The choral group held regular practice sessions with Miss Maude E. Boyle as their director. As part of their project during the year, the club provided the music be- tween the acts of the Senior Play and on Prize Speaking night. They also took part in the annual Music Festival which was held in Athol this year. AGRICULTURE AGRICULTURAL HIGHLIGHTS In September, ten boys came into our Agricultural Department. The students were W. Korza, H. Lizak, C. Pelis, S. Cybul- ski, E. Staszko, E. LaRocque, W. Gallant, J. Zehelski, E. Dugal, T. Widelo. The F. F. A. officers chosen were as follows: William Korza, president; Harold Lizak, vice-president; Eugene Staszko, secretary; Connie Pelis, treasurer; and Euclid LaRoc- que, reporter. Our first contest was egg judging at the Eastern States Exposition, with Stan Cybulski, Harry Lizak and Bill Korza representing our school. Stan came in first and Harry second; Bill finished fourth. Stan and Harry represented Massa- chusetts in Harrisburg, Penn., at the NEPPCCO egg judging contest. Mr. Feiker accompanied the boys to Pennsylvania, where the team finished thii ' d out of four- teen state teams. In November, we entered teams to judge poultry and vegetables. Stanley Cybulski finished first; Euclid LaRocque, thirtieth; and Connie Pelis, thirty-first. The team finished fourth in a field of nineteen teams. The vegetable team finished fifth; in individ- ual judging Mike Fox was tenth; Jim Zehelski, thirteenth; and Tom Widelo, eighteenth. Thirteen teams were entered in the vegetable judging contest. In March, E. LaRocque entered the district public speaking contest that was held at Agawam High School, and finished second. April 7, we entered our exhibit at the University of Massachusetts, and we finished neither first nor last; but our exhibit was chosen to go to Kansas City in October, as the state en- try. Our last project was tree spraying.

The team as a whole was very good this year, but a few of the players were out- standing. George Klocko was the fifth highest scorer in the Hampshire League; Tom Prucnal, Connie Pelis, and Mitch Backiel were superb in their passing and scoring; and Tom Romanowski, Billy Korza, Harry Lizak, and Giles Kellogg were out- standing for their defensive work. An honor was given to two of our players as they were chosen on the Hampshire League All-Star Team. Billy Korza was chosen as an all-star fullback and Mitchie Backiel as an inside.

BASEBALL £ f f BASEBALL This year when Coach Lefty Symancyk called his first practice for baseball, nine- teen men reported. Out of nineteen men, only three were seniors: Bouncer Backiel, Matt Klocko, and Buckwheat Korza. The junior class had only two players: Huck Smith and Richard Woloss. There were eight ball players from the sophomore class: Bob Kowalski, Bernie Goclowski, Dutch Kellogg, Robert Baye, Wallie Gallant, Ray Gore, Charlie Smith, and Joe Godzina. The freshman class had six men on the team: Mike Raffa, Ron Barrett, Dick Cech- vala, Don Sadowski, Chas. Sadowski, and Eddie Merriam. This year Smith Academy played a twelve-game Hampshire League season. The ball team played games against Hop- kins Academy, Arms Academy, St. Michael ' s High, Smith ' s School, and Amherst High. At the time this book went to the printer, we had played only one game, against Smith ' s School. Smith Academy won this contest by a score of nine to eight.

The basketball team can certainly be considered a success this year, for all the girls certainly gained a lot from being on the team and participating in com- petition with other schools. The playei ' s on the varsity this year in- cluded the following girls: Theresa Wilkes, Teresa Brassord, Judy Ryan, Jane Dugal, Peggy Ziezulewicz, Sylvia Raffa, Pauline Backiel, Sally Toczko, Rita Vollinger, and Dorothy lVlis. Annie Foster, manager, and Judy Jenness, assistant manager, did an exceptional job of taking care of the problems that arose, planning the game schedules and all that goes with a successful team. Mrs. Muller, coach of the team, did a won- derful job of coaching the skillful team, as usual. The team had to travel to four games this year. The first out-of-town game was at Amherst; second at Deerfield; third at Hopkins; and the fourth at Burnham School in Northampton. The other five games were played at homo. BOYS ' BASKETBALL BOYS ' BASKETBALL The basketball picture at Smith Academy this year was very impressive. The season opened under a new coach — Russ Bastin — the man whose constant prodding and rug- ged practice made it possible for the boys to come up to third place in the league, with nineteen wins and four losses. We are losing many of our better players through graduation, but coming up in their places are boys whose talents have been recog- nized on the Junior Varsity team. Our biggest loss is our score-happy champ, Giles Dutch Kellogg, who plans to attend a prep school next year. Giles broke several records this year and is now all-time New England Schoolboy Scoring Champ with 666 points. He also holds the title of Hamp- shire League individual high scorer, after he rolled up 50 points against South Deer- field. This year a special game was held be- tween the Varsity subs and the Junior Var- sity — the Jayvees won, showing that we still have good material on the way up. The American Legion presented the school with appropriate printed schedules for basketball. The school wishes to ex- press its great appreciation to the Lions Club and the Men ' s Club for the electric score board, which is in the Town Hall, as well as presenting gold basketballs to each player at a banquet in honor of the team. All in all, we have had a basketball season long to be remembered. JUNIOR VARSITY This year ' s Junior Varsity made an ex- cellent showing, with nineteen wins and four losses. It was composed of boys from all years, who gained much-needed experience — in fact, two of them, Mickey Raffa and Bernie Goclowski, were promoted to Var- sity regulars. There is good material to replace the boys who are leaving this year. TOURNAMENT Again this year we were invited to the Small High School Tournament in the Uni- versity of Massachusetts Cage. The hoys met the Dalton lightning streaks on the polished surface on March 5. The score was 70-55 in favor of Dalton, but it does not give a true indication of the fine basketball exhibited by the team, be- cause most of the boys were sick with colds. Despite this factor, the boys stoutheartedly went about their task, in the true Smith Academy style. BOYS ' BASKETBALL SCORES FIRST ROUND St. Mary ' s 50 S.A. 48 Westfield Trade 46 S.

We changed trains at Springfield and then again at New York. We had lunch aboaid the train and the next stop was at Ba ' ti- more, Maryland, where we left the train. We boarded buses which took us to the Old Bay Line steamer, where we were assigned rooms for our trip to and from Virginia. Monday night was spent on the steamer — the two nights spent on the steamer were outstanding parts of our trip. The recrea- tion on board was exceptionally good. The entertainment included horse races, dancing, bingo, singing or just lounging around, watching others participate in the games. Tuesday morning at seven, we had break- fast; at eight o ' clock we left the steamer and began our motor tour of Virginia. The sights were beautiful. The dogwood, Vir- ginia ' s state flower, was in full bloom at this time. The first place we visited was Jamestown. Then we went to Newport News. We stopped a short time at the Mariner ' s Museum. We had our lunch at the beautiful Wiliamsburg Lodge. The af- ternoon we began by touring the following places: The Capitol, Raleigh Tavern, Wil- liam and Mary College, the Governor ' s Palace and Bruton Parish Church. An in- teresting thing about Williamsburg is that the people were dressed in colonial costumes. After this tour of the buildings, we had two hours free, in which many of us shopped for souvenirs or just relaxed in nearby res- taurants. Relaxation was welcomed, for in Virginia the temperature was near a hundred degrees. At five-thirty we were back on the bus, ready to leave for the steamer, for our return trip to Baltimore. When on board the steamer for our last night, we had dinner, played games, or lounged on deck. At approximately eight the next morning we left the steamboat for the last time and boarded a bus that took us to the Union Station in Baltimore, Maryland. We were on our way to the nation ' s capital. The time passed very quickly and when we arrived in Washing- ton, D. C, about an hour later, we met our wonderful bus driver, Joe Watson, who took us directly to the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, where we saw all the paper money being made. It was torture to just look at it and not get our hands on any of it. Next we walked over to the huge Washington Monument, which was but a very short distance away. Regardless of the extreme heat, many of the kids decided to climb the 898 steps leading to the top of the monument. They all welcomed the elevator ride down! It was now almost ten- thirty, so we went back to the bus and headed for the Hotel Martinique, where we freshened up and had lunch. After lunch we went on a tour of the city. The sights included the Zoological Gardens; Arlington Cemetery, where we saw the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and witnessed the chang- ing of the guard; and Mt. Vernon, the old home of George Washington. After return- ing to the hotel for dinner, we girls went to our rooms and I ' m sure we ' ll never for- get how we got on the men ' s floor by mis- take! After dinner we went to see the Lincoln Memorial, the Congressional Li- brary, and the Washington Monument illu- minated — a very beautiful sight. We then went back to the Martinique Hotel and finally got to bed about three in the morn- ing. We had decided to arise at five and walk down to the White House to see President Harry Truman as he went for his daily walk. It was raining quite hard, so we turned around and came back after walking one block. After breakfast at seven, we boarded the bus and headed for the Smithsonian Institute, the Museum of Natural History, the Art Gallery, the Fol- ger Shakespeare Library, and the White House. After lunch we had our pictures taken and sat in on part of a hearing in the Supreme Court Building and also sat in on a session of the Senate and House of Representatives. We also toured the Pan- American Building and the Capitol. That night was free so we all went to the movies and vaudeville at the Capital Theater. Immediately after breakfast at the Hotel Martinique Friday morning, we went by bus to Union Station where we took a train for New York City. We had lunch on the train and arrived in New York at approxi- mately one-twenty. Upon our arrival, we took a bus to the Taft Hotel, located on the corner of 7th Avenue and 50th Street, just a heartbeat from Times Square and Broadway. We were given our room assignments, and freshened up a bit before leaving the hotel for a three-hour matinee show at Radio City Music Hall. The show included the annual Easter stage show with the famous Rockettes. We also saw Singing in the Rain on the screen. We had dinner at the Down Under Res- taurant at Rockefeller Center. Immediately following dinner, we enjoyed a tour of the N.B.C. radio and television studios. After the tour, we went to our rooms at the hotel to get some sleep, which is impossible in New York City. We awoke Saturday morning about eight o ' clock and had breakfast at Child ' s Restau- rant. After breakfast we spent a few hours shopping in the New York stores or sight- seeing. Dinner followed at the Rockefeller Down Under Restaurant, after which we checked out of the beautiful Taft Hotel. We boarded a bus and toured some of the famous sec- tions of New York such as Fifth Avenue, Wall Street, Broadway, Times Square, the Bowery, and Chinatown. Our tour ended at Grand Central Station, where we took a train for Springfield. We enjoyed the trip very much, and sug- gest that none miss it. But believe me, we were very glad to get back home!
