Allan, Class Representative. THE CLASS OF FEBRUARY 1954 started our courses at the former site of MV- Tl at Augusta in January 19 52 with a class enrollment of fifteen. The following June, at the close of our first semester, we were advised that we would continue our training at the new home of MV-TI at South Portland. On October 6, 1952, under Mr. Howe's direction, we invaded and peacefully took over Fort Preble at South Portland, which was to become our new campus. There were no casualties lother than a few tired muscles and aching backslj during the first few hectic days when we were kept busy shifting supplies, unpacking and installing equipment which was arrivinig daily via truck convoys from Augusta, and getting our respec- tive shops set up or business. ln the fall of 1953, reduced in numbers to a scant half-dozen, we found ourselves the old guard looking forward the completion of our trainin in February 1954 as the last class remaining at MV-Tl with a background ofginitial trainin which was started at Augusta. In our old age, we still managed to prevent dul? monotony as during the last month at the Institute our schedule was revised so as to permit us to acquire more experience and practice in welding as related shop work. 20 CLHSS UFFICEHS -pf lr SEATED, LEFT TO RIGHT: William W.

THE CLASS OF JUNE 1954: The best? - You know it! But seriously we really do feel quite proud of our accomplishments here at MV-TI. We don't want to boast, but how about the Christmas Dance? - the Commencement Field Day and Outing? - just to mention a couple of the outstanding social events in which we had an important part. There were also a few less spectacular events or pro jects, such as clean up details at the Beach. We were pleased to have a small part in the progress and development of our Student Government and other activities which we believe have helped place our school before the public eye. Our class will have the distinction and honor of being the first to complete its full two years of training here on our new campus and we feel that MV-TI has much in the way of education, friendship, and numerous other d of our school and its standing as a pioneer ' ' State of Maine, and we ' ' f m the offered us very opportunities. We are very prou in the field of vocational-technical education in the sincerely hope that the classes to follow us in the future will profit ro many advantages that MV-TI offers in the same full measure that we have during the past two years of our training. 21 CLHSS UFFICEHS LEFT TO RIGHT: John Gastonguay, Secretaryg Viggo Jensen, Treasurerg Joseph Roy, Presidentg Lawrence Doucette, Vice-President. QABSENT WHEN PHOTO WAS TAKEN: Brian Matson, Class Representativej THE CLASS OF FEBRUARY 1955 commenced studies at the Institute Feb- ruary of 1953, The bleakness of winter had us wondering at times whether we would get into the swing of school life once again. A great majority of this class is composed of veterans who had not attended school for a period of four or five years, or more. Also, since this is a technical school, dealing with a higher grade of subjects than we were ac- customed to, several of us were wondering and uncertain for the first few months just how We would make out. ' We are determined to complete our training which will come to an end in February of 1955. 22 2 i f 5 i CLHSS OFFICERS LEFT TO RIGHT: John Kerr, Vice-Presidentg George Provencher, Presidentg Donald Bailey, Class Repres- ativeg George Butterfield, Treasurerg Emery Taylor, Secretary. Tl-IE CLASS OF' JUNE. 1955: The first day we came to MVTI, those of us at the dorm unpacked and some were scared-the fellows seemed so different, so much olde r. Soon we got acquainted, and the strangeness Cand uncertainty of going to bed at nightl wore off, After one day walking around the campus, we got a day off, and we out-of-towners spent it exploring the neighborhood-trying to find the nearest theater, music, and the Y , At first classes, we did not know just what to expect. Homework, we found, was more than at high school, and more work was expected of us fnot that we did it alll. Soon politics and competition started-who would get elected to what offices, who would be on top. After we thought we'd settled down, first quizzes and exams were announced,-to really scare us! Then things settled down to a long quiet drag, just waiting for the next vacation. 23 x ff Q , , '11, ff ,L Q' ,K I yi W ,L K.,.,? 3' , pig. rw' 11. , 1 -5.5 2 ,, A ' SF -v ' P35 -f 1' fag' rrf ljffi .

The purpose and objective of the Student Union is to improve, by democratic process, the life of all MV-TI students. The officers of the Student Union are designated as the Student Council. The function of the Student Council is to draw up and publish the annual social calendar of the Institute, to study problems and recommend solutionsg to obtain Faculty Advisors for each activityg to con- sider and advise on any matters referred to the Council by the studentsg to serve as an executive arm of the Student Uniong and to serve as a coordinator of all student activities, requesting such aid from the various Student Com- mittees as may be needed. 25 THE IUDICIARY COMMITTEE LEFT TO RIGHT: George A.

Cases may also be re- ferred to the Judiciary Committee by the Principal, the Student Council, or the Dormitory Council.

At that time the chief interest was skiing but the objective of this club is active par- ticipation in such activities as hunt- ing, fishing, camping, boating, mountain climbing and other forms of recreation. This club has started with a small membership, but its officers and members are confident that it will be- come very popular with the students at MV-Tl.

Rines, Brian R. Marson, Roger A. Neally, Wesley A. Drake. STAND- ING: Richard E. Reed. Howard R. Farr, Coach Hasson, Edward J. Cox, Ronald P. Candage. The 1953-54 Basketball Season at MV-TI was not very successful from the score book and the won and lost columns, but from the standpoint of a new school embarking on the new road of athletic competition, it was highly successful. Here at MV-TI, as in many other schools who have sponsored athletics, there was a starting point and a hard row to hoe, so to speak. Those of you who may read this book and have had the task of drawing up a tentative schedule, contacting teams, gyms, and officials, know very well what I mean. With the very valuable help of our Athletic Council, we were able to get a very satisfactory schedule and sufficient funds for Basketball. With he start that has been made this year and the assured help for the future, we look forward to a more successful season during the school year 1954- 55. A tribute to our Seniors, who served so well, is in order: Co-Captains Cox and Candage, Farr, Reed, Rines, and Swasey. We, the members of the Athletic Council, wish them all the best of good luck in future years. The nucleus of Coach Hasson's Cage Squad for next year will be: Re- serves - Drake, Abbott, Foster, and Stewart, plus veterans Marson and Neally. We were indeed very fortunate in having Mr. Robert Hasson on our campus as a very willing and capable Coach. Without his help and guidance our MV-TI Basketball Team would have been an impossibility, so we say: Thanks, Bob! - and we hope that you will be at MV-TI to guide us for many more seasons. Basketball here at MV-TI is almost as young as the Institute itself. This and other sports at MV-TI will grow and we hope to be as successful as any other team in the state for a school of our size and type. I know that the school year, 1953-54, has been one that has seen many changies in our school, all for the better, both scholastically and athletically. We, ere at MV-TI are as interested in athletics as in our chosen vocation, as it will probably be the last opportunity for most of us to participate on an athletic team playing for the one purpose of gaining recognition for a school taking part in competitive athletic competition. We, the Staff and Faculty, desire to congratulate this year's effort and offer every encouragement in the coming years of athletic competition be- tween MV-TI and its prospective opponents of the future. -Brian R. Marson, Jr. THE HHLE CLUB SEATED, LEFT TO RIGHT: George W. Anthony, Mr. John D. Crockett, Faculty Advisor, Ramon E. Hamel, Ralph L. Bard. STANDING: Roger K. Grant, Wayne I. Davis, George M. Butterfield, Ardeen W. Ayer. This Club is affiliated with the Portland Y and affords the opportunity to maintain a sharp and keen marks- man's eye throughout the year. The Golf Club was Jrganized late in the spring of 1953. Due to a late start :he Golf Team was un- able to play off a schedule with as many schools as desired, but iid arrange a match with one school, which :ame out in favor of MV-TI. An Intramural Tournament resulted ln success for Johnnie Fasulo. The Golf Club is Looking forward to spring and early summer, at which time we plan to have several outside matches along with an Intramural match.

The second floor includes a large Conference Room and the MV-TI Library and office of the MV-TI MOOSE CALL Staff. The Maine Vocational-Technical Institute is operated by the Maine-State Board of Education, through the Maine State Department of Education, for young men who desire preparation for profitable employment in mechanical-technical occupations, Conducted as a day school for five years in Augusta, demand for instruc- tion in the courses offered necessitated consideration for more adequate quarters, During the summer of 1952 it was moved to the former site of Fort Preble in South Portland, Maine, Classes opened on October 6, 1952 on this beautiful location and new campus covering 35 acres overlooking Casco Bay, Rich in historical lore, and known locally as a show place, much has already been accomplished in restoring the beauty in lawns, trees, and shrubbery plus many improvements in the nature of renovations made on numerous buildings during the summer of 1953, Historical Note: Fort Preble was started in 1808 and was finished before the war of 1812, It was built by Col. Reuben Smart under the direction of H, H. S, Dearborn, and was named for Commodore Edward Preble, who died in 1807. Some of the old, first masonry still exists on the rocky cliffs near the ocean's edge and over- looking the ship channel is an ancient burial ground which local historians say was the cemetery adjacent to the old log meeting house of the first settlers. All ships entering or leaving the port of Portland - from or to the broad Atlantic just beyond famous Portland Head Light - pass by in the front yard of our campus, c 4 ' fl'-' If x K'-vqsyr ' i wt- E U 7, 1 - wi' ,E a if 4522-i'?2': '-' 'J' --:EEE f' sf'-ws jx 4 f' s I 4 , S, ii Jail vimguw I ?l: 'Z 1, COMPLIMENTS OF 1 MACHINE SHOP STUDENTS and INSTRUCTORS, MV-TI 1953-54 E I QT S MN, 4 X -if F m,m,a'f.r-sm1iws1maw. vf .
