Kien Value, Mr. George A. Burridge Principal A look backward to September, 1920, recalls to memory the first Continuation School girls in Springfield, who paved the way for girls to graduate from Springfield Trade School in 1937, as they discovered the need for training girls and women to meet the demands of industry. A look ahead, and I see this pioneer group of girls and women increasing each year, demanding training in the trades of today, the trades of years ahead—and not only training in how to earn a living, but related training in how to live. Margaret C, Ells It seems hardly possible that twenty- five years have passed since the first group of young men received diplomas from our school, yet the facts are before us. Those who have gone out as graduates during this period have become a credit to their school and their community and for this we are grateful. None of the original instructors of the school are on the staff today. All have accepted positions in wider fields of edu- cational service. At this time, we who have followed in the footsteps of those patient, noble pioneers, pay our humble respects. George A. Burridge Mrs. Margaret C. Ells Assistant Principal In charge of Girls’ Division ES si RA Dee B. nels Vebed We wish to express our appreciation to the Print Department faculty. With- out their co-operation it would be impos- sible for us to have a year book. Mr. John J. Mack Mr. William L. McNeece Mr. Charles F.

Burridge Recorded elsewhere on the pages of this Year Book is the inspiring story of the first graduating class of the Trade School, or the Vocational School, as it was then called. Twenty-five years have passed since the first group of young men went out as graduates. Twenty-five years of interesting development. There were times during this period in the history of the school when prospects for the future gave cause for apprehension. This was partic- ularly true during the years when our country was participating in the World War. The number of young men graduating in those days was small indeed when compared with the number graduating this year. In fact the records show that six young men received diplomas in 1918 and five in 1919. During these lean years the losses to the school were many. Un- trained and partly trained boys, easily finding employment, left and went to work. A number of the school’s ablest instructors entered the military service of their country while other s served most efficiently in the ranks as civilians. The Director, who had so efficiently laid the educational foundations of the school was called to render educational service in the great ship yards of the country. His going was a blow to the progress and efficien- cy of the school. It was the fond hope of his associates that he would return at the close of the war, but it was not to be. Small quarters and limited facilities at the disposal of the school were problems in those days. However, in spite of these adversities the school was steadfast in its objectives. At no time was there ever a doubt that some day these objectives would be realized. Post-war conditions exerted a stabilizing influence. Enlarged quarters, and added facilities gave it a new impetus and again the school went forward toward its objectives. The objectives toward which the school advanced and is still ad- vancing are, briefly, as follows: 1. To help worthy men and women both young and middle age, to prepare for profitable employment. To offer courses sufficiently diversified to enable those in need of training to find a place somewhere in the curriculum. 3. To recognize the industrial and commercial needs of the commu- nity and to so guide the program of the school that those completing courses will have reasonable assurance of securing employment. 4. In short to develop a schedule sufficiently flexible to serve all who feel the need for trade or any other employment education, regardless of age or previous educational background. There is much yet to be done before these objectives can be fully attained. Again limited quarters and limited facilities are retarding the progress of the Trade School, but we must be patient. The boys and girls who are receiving diplomas in 1937 may well look back with pride to the pioneers of 1912. It was they who laid the foundations upon which has been erected an institution to which the graduates of this year and each succeeding year may look with pride. DH Beet RAY Din BoA Ve tiek if History of Girls’ Division of Trade School By Mrs. Margaret C. Ells In 1919 a law was passed in the State of Massachusetts, which com- pelled the youth, who left school to go to work under the age of 16 years, to attend a Continuation School four hours each week. This law became effective in Springfield in 1920, so on September 8, 1920, some five to six hundred girls, between the ages of 14 and 16 years, were summoned back to a newly organized Continuation School for four hours each week. The first year, the Girls’ Continuation classes were housed in the High School of Commerce, but in 1921 they were transferred to the Old Hooker School on Main Street, (now the Girls’ Trade School) where the Continu- ation boys were also housed. Mr. Caroll W. Robinson was the principal of this school. During the first years of the Continuation School, girls under 16 had little difficulty securing positions in industry. In 1928 and 1929, it became increasingly difficult for girls to secure positions, first, because the employer wished to get girls a few years older, and second, and most important, was the demand of the employer that the girl be given some definite trade training. “If your girls were trained, we could employ them. Why don’t you train for some specific work?” said the employers, and the girls began making reports such as, “If I knew how to run a power machine, I could have secured a job this morning”’, but under the Continuation School plan, there was not time enough at school to give trade training. It was very evident that there was a need of training for the girls, and a demand for it from employers. As girls were laid off in industry, they returned to the Continuation School each year and asked to be allowed to continue beyond the age of 16 years, as one girl expressed it,“I want to attend this school, as here you are in closer touch with industry, and more apt to get a position.” And so they returned after age 16, when they were no longer obliged to attend, until in 1933-1934, the majority of the girls attending Continu- ation School were over 16, while those under 16, the compulsory group, had steadily decreased. On January 29, 1934, the Continuation School which had been in existence for fourteen years became a part of the Trade School, and the Girls’ Division of the Continuation School became the Girls’ Trade School. Mr. George A. Burridge, for many years principal of the Boys’ Trade School, was made the principal of both schools, as they were consolidated into one Trade School, though in different buildings. Mrs. Margaret C. Ells, who had been head of the Girls” Division of Continuation School, was made assistant principal of the Trade School, in charge of girls’ work. The first trade courses to be organized were Trade Dressmaking and Foods and Catering. Power machines were assembled and placed for the dressmakers, and a class room was fitted up and decorated for use as a Tea Room to train Foods girls in waitress service. In the general department, short unit courses in Vocational Home- making and Winding and Soldering were organized for the girls who needed specific units of training to discover abilities, so as to secure em- ployment. On January 29, 1937, we were three years old as a Trade School, and on June 18, 1937, we look forward to the graduation of twelve or thirteen girls who will have completed the required Trade work. This marks an epoch in the Springfield Trade School as the first girls are to graduate just twenty-five years later than the first boys. Teh Heel UReASD hae BA Ve ie kh [e ) Our Vocational School in the Early Days. Mr. Egbert E. McNary First Principal Here were true high lights in the early days of the Vocational School. First, only the Machine department, in the Technical High School Building. Next, in a Taylor Street loft, Woodwork and Machine—rats among the feet of the students— the first graduates and their jobs. State and city co-operation came. The school grew and was moved to Pynchon Street where Printing was added and Related Work seriously begun. Soon civic need forced the moving of the school and steps were taken to provide the present building. Growth goes on and more boys, and girls as well, are learning trades. How many foresaw this growth in the old days? Egbert E. McNary Me Meh Ve OAR IN REID) Ase AY ag in 9 John Granrud Suverintendent of Schools “The industries of Springfield no longer train their workers through the system of apprenticeship. The problem of preparing boys and girls for vocational pursuits which are just as honorable, just as respectable, and often more renumerative than the professions is being solved by the unusually efficient faculty of Trade School. A new building large enough to accommodate the large number of pupils who should have this type of training is urgently needed.” 10 Ts Eee els Abe Lene ons Vat Mr. Robert 0. Small State Director of Vocational Education “Upon this twenty-fifth anniversary of the first graduating class in the Springfield Trade School, I come to you bearing personal and professional greetings from the Commissioner of Education and the Division of Vocational Education. Well do I remember the difficult conditions, the curtailed opportunity, and the meager enrollment of those first years. The professional zeal of your teachers has been equalled by the hearty enthusiasm of the pupils graduated and the results they have achieved. I have seen this school, waxing strong and prospering, come to the threshold of a much wider expansion and much better housing. Words of mine can not adequately set forth the degree of commendation the success of the school warrants. It gives me great pleasure to express these sentiments and to close by wishing it an ever broadening usefulness and an increasing measure of the type of success achieved in the last twenty-five years.” He lea De ees SA Sve beh 11 Sa — Bit — Dr. James H. Van Sickle Former Superintendent of Schools The late Dr. Van Sickle became Sunerintendent of Schools in Springfield in nine- teen hundred and eleven, the same year that the Vocational School became a state- aided school. It was he who presided over the simple ceremonies when the first graduating class received diplomas. He retired in nineteen hundred and twenty-three after twelve years of eminent service. During all this time he was ever on the alert in the interest of vocational education. Many of Trade School’s most cherished traditions are traceable to his wise counsel and benevolent co-operation. The Trade School honors his memory with sincere gratitude. 12 THK ek AcDele sbeki Ay Vv: Hesk Mr. Harry T. Perry Mr. Harry T. Perry, veteran of 24 years of teaching in the Cabinet shop came to Springfield from Franklin, New Hampshire where he had been a builder. He first worked for the City Property Committee but soon began teaching. His first experi- ence was in evening classes at the Springfield Boys’ Club and in the East Longmeadow Junior High School. In September, 1913, Mr. Perry became an instructor in the Vocational School, then on Taylor Street, where he was one of a faculty of six. The enrollment at that time was about 60. The seniors of 1937 wish Mr. Perry good luck and good health in the years to come. Tebeke TRAD Den BoE Ar Veber 13 Mr. F. Warren Wells “It is hard to realize that a quarter of a century has passed since I was one of twelve young men who stepped to the platform of Chestnut Street School Assembly Hall, the 27th day of June, 1912 and received a diploma from Dr. James H. Van Sickle, then Superintendent of Schools. This signified the completion of a three-year course in the Springfield Vocational School under Director E. E. McNary. How well I remember the year 1909, the month of September, and the opening day of school, I was one of the few who enrolled in the first class in this new type of education. We were a strange lot of boys. Some I dare say, just wanted to get away from the regular school routine and might have joined any course, but many of us really wanted more real training in shop work. Our class work was held mornings in an attic room in Chestnut Street School, and the Wood and Machine shop work, which were then the only two shops of the course, were held in Tech High, afternoons. We were to have six months’ try-out in each course. I had been around the school wood shops a good deal and was advised by my teacher to take wood work under Mr. Richardson, still a teacher at Tech, who was our instructor. The outstanding project of the year was the building of the four-room house in the yard of Tech. This was used until about 1926 by the Domestic Art Classes. At the end of six months we changed courses, and my class had machine shop practice under Mr. Clarence J. Sanborn who was also our classroom teacher at Chestnut Street School, mornings. I found machine shop work even more interesting than wood work and stayed in it until the end of school. Space does not permit me to tell many of the pleasant experiences we had in those early days, but I do wish to emphasize that the Springfield Vocational School and its faculty gave me the brightest and the most profitable part of all my school life. As a teacher in the Trade School, now, I feel sure that many of the boys who come here have the same opinion that I had in 1909—‘At last I found something with which I can start my life’s work.’ ” eS ele AS Dele eh ETA LV a bake 14 ZI6T JO AqNoeq pue sse[Q surenpery Jee teh ReAs Drs 6 i Ag Ve bak 15 Class of 1912 Twenty-five years ago, on the evening of June 27, 1912, twelve boys stood upon the stage at Chestnut Street Grammar School and received diplomas which signified that they had completed the three year course of the Springfield Vocational School. It was the school’s first graduation, and the 200 people who witnessed the occasion perhaps never visualized its future growth. The Chestnut Street School Orchestra opened the program with a selection, and Principal E. E. McNary of the Vocational School gave a short address. Four members of the graduating class then had a debate on the following statement, ‘Resolved: that the new Massachusetts Employers’ Liability Act is fair to employer and employed.” An unusual fact about the debate is that one of the Vocational School’s present-day teachers, F. Warren Wells, took part in it. Mr. Wells is the only member of the first graduating class who now teaches at his Alma Mater. After the debate, Dr. J. H. Van Sickle, who was superintendent of schools at that time, presented the diplomas and Rev. Neil McPherson, pastor of the First Congregational Church, gave the principal speech of the evening. Another selection by the Chestnut Street School Orches- tra, and the program ended with an exhibition of a bench lathe, con- structed by members of the graduating class, in action. The lathe was attached to an electric motor and the perfection of its construction, to- gether with the skill of its operation, seemed to convince the audience of the value in vocational school training.

She received her education in the schools of Worcester, Massachuse tts, and upon deciding to become a nurse, entered the training class at Noble Hospital in Westfield, from which she was graduated in 1915. Miss McManus was a member of the Red Cross nursing service during the World War. Following her war service she entered public health nursing, took up the study of psychology in connection with her duties and continued in this field until she joined the staff of the Trade School. Among the many associations with which Miss McManus is affilliated is The International Nurses Association, one of the greatest in the country. The seniors of 1937 wish ta thank Miss McManus for her ever-guiding hand both in sickness and in health. Diriehree let AnD ham BRA Valet ae Mrs. Marion P.

Let us go back and start from our first day in Trade School. On our first day in school we were much bewildered and amazed. These questions came to the minds of most of us; Where do we go? Will the work be hard? Can we make the grade, and do what is expected of us? What kind of teachers shall we have, and will they help us? As the days went on these questions were answered for us. We found out we could make the grade if we set our minds to the work. We believe that the teachers are the finest and the most understanding faculty in the city, and we are proud to have had them for our instructors. In our first year we spent a good part of our time getting accustomed to the surroundings and finding out what was expected of us. Before going any further we wish to thank the class of ‘‘36” and the instructors for their help in this task. As our second year began we realized we had quite an assignment cut out for us, and were kept pretty busy fulfilling these assignments. However, most of us found time to take part in some of the school activ- ities. If one did not there was no one to blame but himself. Our third year we spent in finishing up our work so that we should be eligible for employment in our trade and most of us were pretty proud of the task we had completed. As our three years grow toward the end we are sorry, for we now look back at the good times we had in Trade School and we are sorry to leave it. To the future graduating classes of our school we wish to say this. Please, in your three-year stay at Trade, try not to dishonor it in any way but, try to build up its name and reputation. We, the class of 1937, wish to say in parting that we hope, as Alumni of Trade School, to be of some assistance to our Alma Mater in later years. ete ls APCs Fete Tel Bib AS Vee KR 21 OPPORTUNITY Selected by Victor Mazzarella Youth complaining that opportunities open to earlier generations of young people are now closed, would feel abused if forced to face life as were the people of a few years ago. The boy, who thinks his chances for success in life are limited by the world he lives in has but a slight understanding how life really can be. He says to himself, “The young people of a century back had plains to explore, gold to seek, Indians to fight.” Those were the days, he thinks when a young man had a chance to make good on his own, without being one man of a hundred looking for the same job. Wishing will not take anyone back to that day—fortunately. Not many, even the most discouraged, would want to go back to that day even if they could. Still fewer would want to stay long if they did. What then, you may ask, were the opportunities of the pioneers? Hard Life—hard work—egrudging existence without comforts—sick- ness without medicines—young boys without a chance to be anything in life different from their fathers. Of course, men had opportunities then, they made opportunities! Perhaps the young people of our day would have the stuff in them to do as well, if they had to. But—who would want to? There is an aphorism that says, “Opportunity knocks but once.” Never to return to the same threshold again. The intention of this saying is to convey that once in any man’s life the chance appears for him to do something worthwhile—to rise above the crowd. The lesson is that the man who has the wit to avail himself of that chance goes to the top of the human heap, and the man who lets it slip through his fingers must live a futile life. It would be an unfortunate thing for the world if this were true— which it is not. If the opportunity to invent an electric light had come to Edison but once we would never have electric light. Edison was a failure many times before he was successful The Wright Brothers dragged opportunity back to their doors a thou- sand times before they got ONE airplane to fly. If Mergenthaler had quit the first time opportunity walked away from him these lines of words would not have been cast swiftly by the machine that he invented—but every letter and every word would have been set in place laboriously by hand. And if Gutenberg had ended his quest for printing after his first fail- ure, these lines would not have been printed at all. What a different world this would be if we had no printed words. Opportunity has worn her knuckles raw knocking at doors of men who had failed again and again. No, opportunity is not a shy maiden. You can be a failure and be in good company, provided you stay with those who learn from failure, and are willing to try again. You! are a failure when you remain licked. When one does succeed, he need not credit his success to what others may call the opportunity that came to him! And if he fails, all through life he may fool others—but not himself—by blaming opportunity for having knocked but once or not at all. 22 THE TRADE BEAVER Mr. J. Clement Sehuler Mr J.

On the cold morning of January 29, 1934 a small group of girls were on hand to take advantage of a long looked for opportunity. For years girls had been looking forward to the time when they would be given trade training to fit them for places in the industrial world. In a new endeavor, as usual, there were not many willing to start. The majority preferred to wait and see how a Trade School for girls would be conducted, but there were a few daring ones who were on hand to take advantage of this new type of training. They started their work in the old Hooker School. The building was old, but there was a homey air about it, and a hustle and bustle of business in getting organized. Meanwhile on a sunny day in September, 1934, there stepped into the corridors of Trade School a group of boys that in three years would be the graduating class of 19387. They were bewildered at first, at the fast clip which the school activities were moving. Changing classes, strange groupings, shops, in fact an entirely new atmosphere. In their first yea r, these intelligent hard working boys did not do much by the way of spectacular achievements. They didn’t seek after extra- curricular activities for they were unacquainted with the school and its work. However, a few with outstanding ability proved themselves in sports, shop and class work. In this year Trade also welcomed into its fold a new sports mentor,“Ted” Plumb. He found many good athletes among these boys. The girls also, in their first year found things quite different from those in other schools. Here they had the actual experience of doing things while in other schools they were just told what todo. For example, if they were sent out to do the buying for their luncheons, they had to buy. the right foods and not be content with just being told what to buy. Thus they put everything they were taught into practice. Assemblies have been part of their school program, and they had looked forward to them, as they were usually presided over by members of the Student Council, or the different departments took charge. They had some splendid speakers, business men and women of Springfield, who brought inspiring messages that the girls never forgot. Meanwhile the boys, back in the fall of 1935, set out to prove them- selves worthy of the honor of being the hardest working class in Trade School. They made themselves conspicuous in their studies and with a year of learning stowed away proved themselves worthy members of Trade School. During this term there was a sorrowful period, for on December 21, 1935, Mr. Hermon R. Clark, beloved teacher of related subjects in the electrical department, passed away. Two new teachers Mr. Johnson and Mr. Jensen, took the places of Mr. Cutler and Mr. Cramer. These two men instantly became all-round friends to the boys. The boys participated in many extra-curricula activities; some to the Student Council while many took part in the school play, “Forward Pass”, which was the first of yearly plays ever to be produced by Trade. Many girls also helped make this play a great success. The floods interrupted the school program for a while but, after a week’s layoff, they swung back into full schedule. THE A Walco wea D3, BEAVER 29 The girls engaged in many extra-curricula activities also. Many were chosen for the Student Council while others for the Traffic Squad and Dramatic Clubs. There were also many girls in the school play who helped. In their third year the girls realized how hard work on their part had helped them along in their studies. They saw how they had to pro- duce and show actual results if they were to succeed in their shop classes. They were taught wnat should be put into practice and in their shop time did it. They tried to live up to the Trade School standards of pa- tience, industry and integrity. Also they heard ‘‘Order and system is heaven’s first law’’, stressed so much that they never forgot it. They also learned the fundamental qualities of success—punctuality, dependability (Completing the task started), courtesy, personal appearance (‘‘Cleaniness is next to Godliness’), honesty and consideration for fellow workers had become a part of every girl whose history is recorded here in Trade School. Their ranks diminished with every passing year as several girls had left to go to work. The girls who did go through are among the first girls ever to graduate from Trade School; just twenty-five years! after the first graduation exercises. They are looking forward to graduation day with gladness in the thought of completing their three years’ work but with sadness at the thought of leaving Trade. The boys, meanwhile, didn’t slow down when they returned for the third term, although they realized that this was their final year at Trade. They buckled down to add the finishing touches to a well-rounded education. This year found ‘Trade predominating in athletics, with champion teams in football and basketball who rightfully bore the name of “Fighting Beavers”. Many seniors who were in the lineups broke into the lime- light by appearing on all-city lists. Another school play was presented and this was even a greater success than the first. “It’s a Knockout” had over a hundred boys and girls participating; many of whom were seniors. The Student Council organized late and so didn’t start to work until half of the school term was over. In the short time it did work it covered a great deal of ground due to the yeoman efforts of the senior members. Mr. Johnson and Mr. Jensen were chosen as class advisors and Mr. Schuler was chosen to direct music of which many girls and boys took advantage. Mr. Schuler was rightfully chosen for this position as he is a very talented young man. In summing up the third year of the boys, they were, everyone, hard-working young men. It is with lumps in their throats and tears in their eyes that the Class of 1937 bids farewell to Trade School. They shall help to celebrate the Twenty-Fifth Anni- versary of Trade School. These three long hard years had not been for naught. The history of this class shall be writen indelibly in the records of Trade and so it is hoped that future graduating classes will be inspired to reach the great heights attained by the Class of 1937. The work of these boys and girls shall long remain as memories to the faculty members of Trade School. They hope that they shall be remembered as a class who stood by and for the standards of Trade School and also that they may serve as inspirations to future graduating classes of Trade. 30 THE BEAVER Did Most For His Class Class Chisler Class Baby (Boy) Class Baby (Girl) Class Sissy Class Strong Man Class Dunce Class Bully Hungriest Boy Huneriest Girl Class Musician (Boy) Class Musician (Girl) Class Dancer (Boy) Class Dancer (Girl) Class Gloomiest Boy Most Cheerful Boy Most Cheerful Girl Handsomest Boy Most Beautiful Girl Spirit of Youth Class Hater (Boy) Class Hater (Girl) Class Salesman (Boy) Class Salesman (Girl) Teachers’ Delight (Boy) Teachers’ Delight (Girl) Class Grouch (Boy) Class Grouch (Girl) Class Artist (Boy) Class Artist (Girl) Laziest Boy Class Business Man Class Business Girl Class Shortest Boy Quietest Boy Quietest Girl GEASSePAEE@T Edward Kuczynski Michael Borazna Wilfred Lemieux Helen Moran Walter Tokarski Joe Koretz Abe Lotterman Lawrence Scyocurka Michael Borazna Yvonne Carrigan Heinz Strassberger Evelyn Skorupski Edward Kuczynski Evelyn Skorupski Eugene Szmela Frank Moraweic Anna Robideau Edward Skiba Yvonne Carrigan James Templeman Harry Kipetz Amelia Costarakis James Templeman Beatrice Coulombe Thomas Schlosser Anna Robideau Eugene Szmela Stephanie Labaj Leon Kubicz Evelyn Skorupski Alfred Pezzini Donald Case Yvonne Carrigan Wilfred Lemieux Ralph Keyes Emily Konieezna THE TRADE -BEAVER 31 Wittiest Boy Wittiest Girl - Most Popular Boy Most Popular Girl Most Talkative Boy Most Talkative Girl Most Studious Boy Most Studious Girl Class Athelete (Boy) Class Athelete (Girl) Most Silent Boy Most Silent Girl Most Energetic Boy Most Energetic Girl Class Lover Class Politician Class Clown Best Natured Boy Best Natured Girl Class Pest Class Speaker (Boy) Class Speaker (Girl) Noisiest Boy Slowest Boy Slowest Girl Best Dressed Boy Best Dressed Girl Most Conceited Boy Most Likeable Boy Most Likeable Girl Most Likely To Succeed (Boy) Most Likely To Succeed (Girl) Class Crooner Class Crooner CIS S, jeyalbiQur Daniel Shea Anna Robideau Michael Borazna Amelia Costarakis Lawrence Scyocurka Helen Grover Frank Moraweic Amelia Costarakis Joe Koretz Anna Robideau Frank Moraweic Emma Szembrot Lionel Lavoie Anna Robideau Wallace Bubien James Templeman Abe Lotterman Armando Raschi Emma Szembrot Wilfred Lemieux Edward Kuczynski Amelia Costarakis Lawrence Scyocurka Joe Koretz Stephanie Labaj George Weston Evelyn Skorupski Wallace Bubien Armando Raschi Lena Misisco Edward Skiba Amelia Costarakis Carol Schofsky Wanda Marusyezak 32 TOHe ie Gl RAD OE BEAVER ALESSANDRI, VICTOR “Alec” 574 Union St.) City Machine Shop Soccer (1 yr.); Basketball (1 yr.); Baseball (1 yr.); Varsity Soccer (2 yrs.).

It was the happiest moments of our lives when we strolled across the stage of the Springfield Auditorium to receive our diplomas. Feeling a little tired and excited following the graduation exercises, I thought a short walk would do me good. Strolling down Main Street, a short distance from the Auditorium, I came to face a large sign which eer as follows; “Know your future?” See by See-A-Vision for only one ollar. Knowing that curiosity killed the cat, but, still being curious, I decided to investigate. Climbing a set of rickety stairs which swayed as if alive I hesitantly stopped before a door which had printed upon its glass, Professor Master Mind O. What-a Brain. Entering through the door I saw a queer looking machine, possibly made by the Machine Shop of our Trade School. The center of the room was filled with gadgets and all kinds of bric-a-brac of a future Wise Man of To-morrow. I was told by an elderly man to sit in a chair before a large screen and to put my mind on what was before me. The room wa s darkened and the screen was lighted. Startled, I felt myself spinning thru space, so it seemed, and before me on the screen flashed into view the Springfield Airport in the year 1950. A great crowd was on hand yelling their heads off. Scattered through the crowd I saw many familar faces not to mention any names. A transport plane had landed and the crowd surged forward, breaking thru the police lines and completely surrounding the plane. The door opened and who should step out but our great lover of stage and screen, Wally Bubien, followed by Evelyn Skorupski, attractive Hollywood designer. Trying to squeeze through the crowd was Anna Robideau, Ace Reporter of our local paper trying to get an interview with Wally Bubien while her rival, the chubby reporter for the Daily Whack, none other but little Stanley Peritz, was interviewing Evelyn. The scene shifted and again a group of buildings flash into view. This I quickly identified as the Westinghouse plant. Standing in front of the building was Special Officer Alfred Pezzini who was telling Stanley Pabis that this wasn’t the York Street Jail. Pabis had some friends he wanted to see but he got his directions mixed. Further down the street I saw a sign on top of a small building which read ‘‘Aw Comeon Inn” owned and managed by no other than Lena Misisco. Looking inside, I saw Lena feeding numerous hungry hard-working men-of-labor, none other than Mike Borazna, Fat Raschi, Larry Scyocurka and Jimmy Temple- man. I knew then why Lena had such a thriving business. The next place I visited via the See-A-Vision was the Civil Department where I could hear and see Arthur Cutting, laying it good and heavy onto Christian Jensen for annoying his secretary, pretty Helen Grover. Then came the surprise of my life, what should flash upon the screen but a beautiful new building. Yes, you guessed it. None other than our new Trade School. After spending some time looking over the outside, 64 T Hehe Re AyDsh) SBN Ay Viera which was the last word in designing, the picture on the screen shifted into the principal’s office where much to my surprise was Abe Lotterman with his feet on the desk, a huge cigar in his mouth, trying to dictate a letter to his secretary, Beatrice Coulombe. Getting over this shock my vision next turned to the office with pictures of various good athletes hanging upon the walls. This, I decided, must be the coach’s office. Instead of seeing our likeable Ted Plumb, I saw Ed Kuczynski trying to tell “Turk” Tokarski, his assistant, who was trying to put the eyes into a puzzle of a clown, that something must be done to produce a winning team. It seems that the last time Trade had won a championship was when Ed played for Trade under Ted. Next we visited the nurse’s office where two middle-aged women | were gossiping. These I soon recognized as Amelia Costarakis, the nurse, and Helen Moran, head of the dressmaking department. I next found myself looking into the Machine Shop, where Head Instructor Alex Rad- ewick was telling Joe Koretz, Jr. what he thought of him for putting too many threads on a bolt. Later Alex complained of a sore neck because Joe, Jr. was a chip off the old block. In the next scene I heard a voice trying to teach a class how to sing. The teacher was none other than Wanda Maruszczak. The class consisted of the children of many of the graduates, among which I recognized little Lionel Lavoie, Jr. trying to yodel as his pappy used to do and in so doing stampeded the whole group. Telling the professor that I would like to see what my classmates were doing elsewhere; the scene left Springfield and took me to New York where I saw a huge crowd around the doors trying to get in but the “sold out” sign was up. There was a wrestling match going on inside. As the picture shifted to the inside many people were yelling and screaming. The match was between murderous George Weston and “Babyface” Lem- ieux. The last I saw of this was where “Babyface”? Lemieux had George tied up tighter than a pretzel. Taking leave, I was suprised to see sitting at the mayor’s desk Edward Skiba telling his yes-man, Alfred Grasso, that he hadn’t seen so much prosperity since he left Springfield in 1938. The scene next shifted to the Polo Grounds where the Giants were playing the Cards. I saw, after some looking that the pitcher for the Giants was “Lefty” Lopez and the third baseman Lionel Lavoie. Even as I looked, the ball was hit to Lavoie who quickly touched third for the second out of the inning. The batter was Don Case. How he got into the big leagues, don’t ask me. A figure was yelling, “Peanuts, popcorn and soda pop.” The voice sounded familiar. As I gazed closer, who should it be but Danny Shea our former hog-calling champion. Taking leave of the Polo Grounds and New York, we entered Detroit, the Auto City. My first stop was the General Motors Company where I saw foreman Michael Sinowski telling his striking workmen to go back to work. A close view revealed them as former classmates from the Auto Shop in Trade. They were led by the Communists of Trade School, in our time, Stanley Madry, who was getting excellent help from Howard Griffin, Marshall Bentley, and Howard Guertin. I soon left this situation and AHO Eee DeReAr DEE BEAVER 65 found myself gazing upon the Goldback Hospital. JI found the inside well designed. Behind the information desk sat Julia Chmura talking with Yvonne Carrignan who was in charge of the nurses’ wardrobe. I next visited the superintendent’s office when I saw Carl Stevens sitting there telling Assistant Supervisor Emma Szembrot that he was thinking of changing the hospital a bit and making it more like a hotel so that the people wouldn’t mind coming in. I continued my journey through the hospital with the See-A-Vision when lo and behold I saw Dr. Cuttem alias Ralph Keyes telling Nurse Emily Koneieza that he had just performed a difficult operation on a doll. I had always figured that Ralph would get to cut bigger and better things than sheet metal. Suddenly I found myself out of the hospital, staring at John Balser Motor Company, formerly known as the Ford Company. It seems that John had inherited some money from his rich uncle so he bought a share in the company and when Ford went into bankruptcy, Balser became sole owner. He had Dan Robson take care of the ventilation. I guess it must have brought back memories of when he worked for the Draft Shop. Theodore Puc was given a raise as a foreman and Dwight Tucker took care of the electrical department. Gordon Clow had just been given a promotion from body washer to shop janitor. Just as I was about to see what was the outcome of the strike, there was a loud bang, followed by silence, after which I regained my senses and found myself still in the year 1937. I was later informed by the professor that the parade of so many characters in such roles made the machine commit suicide. So my story ends far too short. 66 THs 8 Pensa, Dak BEAVER GEASsawiEe We, the class of 1937, of the Trade School, in the city of Springfield, County of Hampden, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, of these United States, being of sound mind, memory and judgement, in our last will and testament, and finding our selves so abundantly supplied with good qualities, bequeath unto our less fortunate schoolmates a few of those that we can readily spare. “Mae” McMaster leaves his duties in the Machine Shop tool crib to Charles Zajac. “Lefty” Lopez leaves his hurling brains and strength to Cieplik, who is also left handed, and certainly needs them. Helen Grover, though very proud of her height leaves some of it to Isabella MacDougal who continually longs to sprout. “Hd” Kuezynski leaves his Linotype ability to Victor Mazzarella, who has the physical faculties, but not mental. “Mike” Borazna leaves behind his ability to eat and bum to Phillip Bolbas. Beatrice Coulombe leaves her ambition to June Rourke, who will make use of it in future years. “Abe” Lotterman leaves behind a couple of shirts to “Willie” Kon- onitz, who doesn’t seem to have any. Evelyn Skorupski, well known for her famous figure, leaves some of her curves to Ruth White, who is always complaining of being too straight and slim. “Walt” Layzon leaves behind his quietness to George Negosnick, whose mouth resembles a cave. To Wanda Ziemien, Anna Robideau leaves her spirit of enthusiasm. “Joe” Koretz leaves behind some of his height to Charley Suse and the rest of the half-pints who will represent Trade School on the basket- ball court. Ralph Keyes leaves his position as boss of the lunchroom crew to Al Russo. Yvonne Carrignan and Stephanie Labaj generously leave their healthy appetites to Anita Langevin. as eee Lavoie leaves behind some of the hair off his chest to Ed ebula. Griffin of Auto, leaves behind his ability of talking to women in Tech to anyone who cares to grab it. Helen Moran leaves her sunny disposition to Blanche Bono. Stanely Perritz leaves his acting ability to “Rusty” Rostowski who so far has the ability but is not an actor. dee eT RA Ds BEAVER 67 Amelia Costarakis leaves her love to the members of the faculty and fellow students. Grasso bestows upon Carlo Sapelli, ‘““managerial’ duties so that he can escape strenuous work of shop and class. Emile Szembrot leaves her skill in doing her work to Wanda Mast- erley. “Don” Case checks out of school giving Flynn his “roaming” around the building ability. The lad is catching on quick. Lena Misisco leaves her smiles and pleasing personality to Jennie Chmura who is so busy doing excellent work that she forgets to smile— sometimes. “Walt” Zyviak feels important, so he leaves the Draft shop window opening to any fresh air fiend. “Herby” Lubarsky leaves his slow, smooth, easy drawl to those motors in the Auto shop are just about “putting” around. Wanda Mauiszezak leaves to Stella Jakus her musical voice, plus her speaking voice. “Ed” Yarnell leaves his hill-billy singing and dancing to Costantini who, so far is only a hill-billy. “Al” Pezzini bestows upon “Ray” Sabourin his hockey playing ability. The latter is not a believer of the saying, ‘Actions speak louder than words’. We, the members of the senior class, depart from Trade School, where three inspirational and successful years were spent, and now face the world with the courage and knowledge which we have acquired. With sadness we say good-bye to the Trade School, the faculty and all the students. Signed this 18th day of June in the year of Our Lord 1937. The Senior Class 1937 Witnesses :— Miss H. H.

Mr. Burridge, Mrs. Ells, members of the faculties of both divisions of our school, girls and boys of Trade School: For years unremembered it has been a custom of the graduating class to hand down to the Juniors a sacred micrometer—a sign and symbol of our craftsmanship. Through its powers the holders of this mystic mike become possessors of increased ability, more valiant ambitions, and heightened ideals. How this mystic mike came into being no one seems to know. Its coming was as myste- rious as its powers. And now I have a further wonder to acquaint unto you. The mystic mike has mysteriously disappeared. When it became time to open the sacred treasure chest the mystic mike was no longer there. But in its place there lay a new sign and symbol—one more fitted to our combined schools. We are no longer brother craftsmen alone, but by our sides stand sister craftswomen as eager aS we to win industrial success, and to help in the universal task of establishing and maintaining the homes of the nation. This new mystic symbol we now pass on to you. Let the mystic symbol appear! (Enter page bearing shield draped with cloth, to be removed upon presentation to the Juniors.) Let now the spirit of the Junior Class appear! (Enter Junior Boy and Junior Girl. They stand on the floor before Seniors all partly turned; both girls on side toward audience.) Boy: Juniors, we know that you have labored as diligently as we in maintaining the spirit and traditions of our School, and as we move onward to join the ranks of those who have gone before, to spread the knowledge of the worth of Trade School into many corners of the earth, and many branches of industry, we now bestow upon you the outward symbols of your eligibility as prospective seniors. (Boy places his sash on Boy Junior’s shoulder. Girl places her sash on Girl Junior’s shoulder.) Now let us present the new mystic sign of Trade School. (Boy removes drapery from shield and Boy and Girl hold the shield up for all to see.) Boy and Girl(unison) We now bequeath to you the mystic shield. Guard it well; and in your turn pass it on to your successors. Read what is thereon inscribed. (Boy and Girl read in unison.) Trade School Code Trade, you are a heritage laden with opportunities that are legion, and our responsibilities are correspondingly great. In every public and private capacity may it be our supreme desire to serve, honor, and obey our highest ideals, and strive to uphold the right; and by our example may we incite in others a like respect and reverence May we achieve high standards of workmanship, worthy habits, honorable manhood, wholesome personalities, and noble character. On the field, in the shop, in the class, and in years to come, grant that we shall bring glory to our School, City, State, and Nation.

The after-school activities have always been carried on in the Trade School for the benefit of the students and it has been with this in mind that the schedules have been arranged. 77 Dee Mr. Emil J.

Morrison It is encouraging to note that since the time of our last graduation, we have been able to secure positions for 1237 young men and women that have attended our school. The number includes 80 percent of the Class of 1937. This record has been achieved because of the excelient way that Trade School students adapt themselves to their types of work and also the willingness of industry to co-operate with our school. The placement office is open to anyone that has attended Trade School and who needs advice concerning an advancement or assistance in securing employment. Trade School sincerely hopes that the Class of 1937 will avail themselves of this opportunity. eH eee bea Deis BLE AGV4i RR 19 Mr. Walter D. Kehoe Two years ago, Mr. Burridge appointed Mr. Kehoe, of the Electrical Department, to the position of Director of Traffic Squad. Mr. Burridge couldn’t have appointed a better man for the position. As Director, Mr. Kehoe has many responsibilities. His first responsibility is to select the right type of boy for the Traffic Squad. He also must investigate any complaints received against any Trade School boys. To help him keep order in the ranks of the Traffic Sauad he has a captain to assist him. Mr. Kehoe also presides over any Traffic Squad meetings. He said that the boys of Trade School conduct themselves as well as any school in the city. The Senior Class members bid farewell to Mr. Kehoe and hope that he will continue his good work as he had done in the past. 80 Pe elo Reser BEAVER TRAFFIC SQUAD Captain—Richard Fitzgerald Lieutenants—Grover O’Brien, Eli Kravitz Sergeants—Curtis Averill, Howard Guertin Angelo Ronzoni Arthur Collier Frederick Hawley Walter Lawrenchuck Raymond Charznowski John Guertin Joseph Werbowski Henry Goodrich John Brinck Edward Christiansen Ted Mietka John Caranickolas Milton Cohen Aldore Lavallee Harvey Eaton Maury Dashevsky Walter Rain Robert McCarthy James Templeman Victor Cecearini Ted Puce Heinz Strassberger Leonard Robinson John Belleev Gus Melander Norman Barry Robert Kemple Te Sh) 2 eine AL DN es BEA aver 8L Victor Mazzarella Paul Veccharelli Bertrand Clapper Lionel Lavoie Alfred Grasso Ralph Lamborghini Thomas Schlosser Arthur Collier Morrison Gray Edward Kuezynski J.

The Trade Beavers’ 1936-1937 basketball team captured the Inter-School champion- ship and also the Western Massachusetts Trade School title with a fine record of 12 wins and only two losses. They started by winning five straight contests, then were halted successively by Commerce and Worcester Trade. Making a rousing’ comeback, they won all their remaining games, and were rated the second best team in Western Massachusetts by the Sunday Union and Republican. Outstanding players during the season were: Captain Borazna, Kuezynski, Tokarski, Koretz, Brownchuck, Lajac, Rostowski and Bator. Kuczynski was leading scorer of the Beavers and also high man in Interschool competition. ; Basketball Scores Trade—22 Tech—17 Trade—25 Tech—24 Trade—46 Classical— 9 Trade—33 Classical—22 Trade—48 Westfield—20 Trade—23 Cathedral—12 Trade—42 Cathedral—19 Trade—40 Westfield—24 Trade—27 Worcester—22 Trade—36 Holyoke—29 Trade—23 Commerce—43 Trade—28 Holyoke—26 Trade—13 Worcester—30 Trade—32 Commerce—19 Won—12 Lost—2 Ie heh eR AY DCH By Er AM Viele 87 FOOTBALL Coach—Edward Plumb Captain—Armando Raschi Managers Assistant Managers Carlo Sapelli, Alfred Grasso James Athas.

Trade’s football team of 1936 finished their season with five victories and two defeats. In the City League, Cathedral and Trade finished in a tie for first place. The victory which pleased us most was the defeat of Cathedral, 18 to 6. For this win marked the first time in the history of Trade School that the Beavers were able to defeat the Panthers on a football field. Trade’s two defeats came at the hands of Tech and Turners Falls High Schools. They were low scores as Tech won 7 to 6, and Turners Falls won 13 to 6. The out- standing. players for Trade were Campbell, Scyocurka, Lavoie, Kortez, and Michael Kononitz.

Springfield Trade’s 1936 baseball team broke even with six victories and six losses. After downing Orange and Westfield, in order, they lost two straight games to Tech and Classical. Then the Beavers won three suc- cessive contests, beating Cathedral, Commerce and Orange. They were nosed out by Worcester Trade and beaten decisively by Tech, Classical and Commerce. The Blue and Gold finally snapped their four game losing streak by defeating Cathedral in the final game of the year. Throughout the season, Lavoie, Jachym and Sowa batted hard, while Lopez pitched good ball. Trade’s six victories included two wins over Cathedral; the first scored against Cathedral in six years. The wierdest game of the schoolboy season was the Westfield-Trade- Springfield Trade affair. Westfield scored 10 runs in the second inning and appeared to have the game “salted away”, but the Beavers slowly overcame the lead and won out in the last of the ninth. Trade set a schoolboy record by making no less than 17 errors in this game.

Springfield College claimed him in 1920, and in his junior year granted him a scholarship at the Genava School of Physical Education, in Switzerland. His European travel acquainted him with France, Italy, Poland, Germany, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Austria, and northern Africa. Summer teaching time was spent at the Y. M. C. A. in Poland, instructing Polish boys in the skills of American sports. In 1934. Mr. McGibney’s Springfield College graduation year, Westfield, Mass. employed him as coach in the major sports. A Master’s degree was conferred upon him by Springfield College in 1935, and in 1986 he came to Trade. In addition to coaching he teaches First Aid and Hygiene, and instructs gymnasium classes at the General Department of Trade School. We welcome this opportunity to wish Mr. McGibney abundant success, and we feel sure that with a reasonable amount of good fortune he will guide his Trade School athletic teams into places of prominence and permanence.

After the final cut only five remained. Of the quintet, Captain Pluta and Charles Dyjak were veterans. Maury Dashevsky, Philip Granger, and John Pluta, the new men of the team, deserve honorable mention for their spirited play. Captain Pluta was Trade’s outstanding player. His victories over the Commerce and Tech number-one men were results of both forehand and backhand play. Dyjak upset his Cathedral rival in an exciting match. His cool think- ing and steady volleying gained for him the deciding point, but in spite of this Cathedral took the match. All the men were awarded major letters. It is hoped that in spite of the loss of Captain Pluta and Granger, the Trade net team of 1937 will achieve a better record than last year’s team.

Coach Ed McGibney had high praise for Captain Ed Kielbania who, throughout the season, played brilliantly at the wing position. Another boy who was lauded by Mr. McGibney was Acacio Andre, a first-year man who turned in many fine performances at goal for the Beavers. Trade started poorly by losing three games in a row. Then came four ties and five victories. One of the stiffest battles during the season was played with Ludlow High, the Western Mass. champion. Trade downed its Ludlow rivals by a 1 to O count. In the Inter-City League, Trade finished in second place.

Captained by Al Pezzini, Trade had only two regulars left over from last season; Al Pezzini and Mike Dobek. These two boys played the first foursome and lost but three points all season.
