THE TRADE BEAVER DESIGNED AND PRINTED BY THE STUDENTS OF THE SPRINGFIELD TRADE SCHOOL SPRINGFIELD, MASS. I938 THEO TRAD Ebi te te TIOOHOS GdVaLl AHL dplistwelieA Dee Belg As Vel ie A Dedication Mr. Harry T. Perry The class of 1938 dedicates this vol- ume of the Trade Beaver to Mr. Harry T. Perry, who fer the past twenty-five years has been a member of the Trade School faculty. P One year following the beginning of Trade School, Mr. Perry became a mem- ber of the faculty and on this his twenty- fifth anniversary, we Wish to show our appreciation by this dedication. Page Three TU ae Te ee ARSE Sees Any ately, Principal Mr. George A. Burridge THE GOOD OLD DAYS Unbelievable though it may seem in these days of temporary depressions and re- cessions, the time will come when many of the young men and the young women who are students of Trade School during this year of 1938, will look back to this period in their lives as “The Good Old Days.” It has always been thus. Your parents and your teachers cherish with fond memories the days of their early youth as did their parents and grandparents before them. This is not strange because memories of our loved ones and the joys and pleasures of youth are vital forces in our lives, but this loyalty to the past remains a virtue only as long’ as it does not overshadow our hope in the future. It matters not how far back we may go through the pages of history, we can arrive at but one conclusion relative to the past and the future, namely; That the road ahead has always been brighter than the road back. True, there have been temporary reverses. Individuals, groups, and even civilizations have been sacrificed along the way, but always man has re-established himself on a higher plane than before. In spite of prevailing business disturbances this is not a time for youth to become too easily discouraged, rather, it is a time to prepare for the better days which are to come. In the ancient books of the Apocrypha we find the following words of wisdom: “Set thy heart aright and constantly endure and make not haste in time of trouble.” Although these words were written many centuries ago, they might well serve as words of advice to us all in this year of 1938. Page Four TH ie Teh ACD ee Bal Al ek Assistant Principals Mrs. Margaret C. Ells Trade School students, on the whole, have been very successful in securing em- ployment after graduation and many have advanced in their respective positions due to the training they have received at school and the fact that they have con- tinued to study, after obtaining work. Many of our graduates realize that in order to advance, constant study is nec- essary so that they may progress with the changes in industry. The placement office at the school is always open to former students who wish advice either on their present po- sitions or help in securing new ones. It is our sincere wish that this year’s graduating class will take advantage of this offer and return to us for any help they may need. On June 18, 1937, the first class of girls, thirteen in number, was graduated from the Spring field Trade School. This was but the beginning of a long line for the various trades in which women that will continue to prepare themselves and girls are employed. No longer will girls and women be satisfied with a little instruction in sewing and cooking, but they will seek out that trade education, which will not only prepare them to earn a liveli- hood, but also how to live as enlight- ened citizens of a community. Onward girls and women! Let’s not falter, but strive each year to attain higher standards for ourselves and the Springfield Trade School. Mr. Thomas J.

He was instrumental in reorganizing the editorial policy of the paper. ‘‘The Trade Beaver,” the school’s year book, has improved through his helpful guidance. He has left a great gap which will be hard to fill. Page Thirteen POH EO TRAD ES Beli Asay ieele Year Book Advisors Kk Mir. Ernest Hesse j The task effaculty advisor to the a0-20 vertising staff was given to Mr. Charles F. Gallagher who accepted the respon- sibility for this important work. The sale of advertising space to reliable business firms in and about Springfield, helps de- fray the cost of producing the year book. When Mr. Flynn left the faculty, Mr. Hesse of the Electric Department, was appointed advisor to the Trade Beaver and Trade’s monthly newspaper “The Junior Craftsman.” Although Mr. Hesse is fairly new to the school and such work, he has proven himself worthy of accepting two such responsible positions. He has been of great help to both the Year Book staff and The Craftsman staff. Mr. Charles F. Gallagher Page Fourteen 1H be Te ADL eB EA AE Te Faculty Advisors Mr. Walter D. Kehoe Mr. Christian E.

JO SSVIO AHL THER RADE BEAVER Outstanding Members of the Senior Class — Jennie Brosch Charles Zajac This year a new tradition was started in Trade School with the choos- ing of the “Outstanding Boy and Girl” in the senior class. The first boy to win such an honor was Charles Zajac while the first girl was Jennie Brosch. This award was originally suggested by the Student Council. The purpase behind it is to “tend toward a betterment of student efficiency in all matters pertaining to the Trade School.” Starting this year it is to be a yearly award. The names of these award winners are to be in- scribed on a plaque in the corridor of the school with the names being added each year as they are chosen. To win such an award the student must rank very high in scholarship, athletic ability, attitudes, depend- ability and school activities. The following members of the committee are those who made the final selection: Mr. Burridge, Director; Mr. McGibney, Faculty Advisor to the Student Council; Mr. Morse and Mr. Jensen of the faculty, and Louis ‘“Gamelli and Maury Dashevsky of the junior class.

Meanwhile, at the Trade Building on Spring Street, a group of boys were doing likewise. Both of these groups were curious to examine the school that was to be their home for the next three years. They found it different from other schools in that one week is devoted to class work, and the following week to the particular trade they are following. The outstanding event of that year was the first Trade School play, “Forward Pass,” in which a large number of boys and girls took part. During that year the girls, under the supervision of their music teacher, organized a glee club and sang for the boys at the graduation in 1936. Returning in the fall of 1936 the boys and girls resolved to be re- membered as the most businesslike class that the Trade School has ever known. They started by electing a new Student Council. The object being to keep in mind, at ali times, a student’s needs. The Council advocat- ed those things which bring about a happier and fuller school life. The beginning of 1937 saw another school play under way. This time called, “It’s A Knockout.” Through better efforts of the students it proved to be more of a success than that of the preceding play. Shortly after the play a new music instructor was appointed to the Trade School. Under this new leadership, a high grade of music: has been presented to the student body and also over the radio. It was during this year that the basketball team under the leadership of our competent coach, came brilliantly out in front to win the city championship. Graduation, for the first time in the school’s history, contained a group of girls. During our last year of school we have had much to do. First came the election of the Student Council, followed by our annual school play, “Chain Lightning,” which took place the nights of January 27, 28, 1938. During the past school year numerous concerts were given through ef- forts of our music instructor, and were enjoyed by all. Our last few months have been spent in perfecting plans for our Senior Class activities, namely the banquet, prom, and graduation, which are al- ways memorable occasions in the life of any student.

After an- other day, we bring to a close the activities of that class. Tomorrow, we scatter, to start again in fresh fields of endeavor. As we, from this van- tage point, glance back upon the accomplishments and the failures of our experience here, we can see a period of real growth. It is a growth where- by only the surviving fittest can claim the seats of honor. To attain our present position has been no easy struggle. Hard work and hard play have been the elements which have attended our zealous efforts to imprint our permanent mark upon the progress of our school. This done, we face the future well equipped to offer ourselves a sane aid to many of the world’s present difficulties. In trying to comprehend what this day really signifies to us, we find ourselves at a loss. To some it means the end of three years of toil; to others it means the end of the first lap of attaining some real ideal; to still others it means the start of a journey to lands unknown. To you, our parents and friends, it must mean the realization of hopes and dreams of a united effort for our own good. To all of us it means the fulfillment of a solemn promise that the responsibility of parenthood brings. All that we here can say is, that the present looks much brighter, and that the future looms ahead with much more certainty than ever before. This we owe to you. Fellow classmates, if our future is to be successful, we must begin at once to use the talents already acquired here. An immense responsibility has been thrust upon us as we go out from this place. The men of our generation have much to do. We, you and I, face this task with a new hope, a hope that we may be able to fill the niche left vacant by those who preceded us. The problems must be solved, and we must aim to do our part. The confidence and stability built up by our too-short stay will enable us to face, with no little degree of encouraged optimism, the tasks ahead. It is with this philosophy that we look to the future. When time comes for us men of the Class of 1938 to measure up . to the standards which have been made keener by the world’s disorders, there is not a man of our number who will not look back to Trade School and give thanks that he was able to enjoy his experience here. Too much cannot be said of our gain in this choice school. JI can only say in passing that from faculty and friends alike, who have labored here with us, there has been that imparting of their knowledge, to further our means in such a way that we have often been reminded of the Spartans of old, with their untiring efforts. For all of this we are indeed grateful. To the past we look with some regret; to the future let us throw open wide our arms for what it has in store for us. Page Sixty-One DH ISR EAC Bal CA Geil: Class Prophecy On a crisp day early in the spring of 1958, an airplane glided quietly and easily through the air. In its spacious compartment, chatting lei- surely, were a group of sightseers on tour of New York. Its pilot was Ralph Forbes, the stewardess was Wanda Zieman, who was still using her pleasing personality to enlighten her passengers’ voyage. Spying the See-all Show-all Radio and Television Studio we alighted gently and with precision on the roof of this extravagant architectural edifice. Rushing to meet us were “Phil” Bolbas and Merrill Gravel, presidents of the prospering corporation. They escorted us with pleasing conversation to the elevator manufactured by Carlo Sapelli’s new enter- prise, DeLuxe Elevator Company. Phil Dame, the elevator pilot, enter- tained us with a new dance step as we descended noiselessly and smoothly to a stop. When the door glided open, we spied Stella Jakus, ace secretary to the firm, and Jennie Brosch, who held the exalted position of vice- president. We were then allowed to tour the broadcasting studios of which the first was one in which Dante Ballatore, concert violinist, was accompanied by Mario Costantini, concert pianist of great renown. Their vocal ren- ditions were taken care of by Michael Rostowski, who had planned to be the second Bing Crosby, but who is taking Lawrence Tibbett’s place. Leaving this studio we entered a room in which was given a revue of the “Gold Diggers of 1958.” Starring in this revue was Blanche Bono who fitted the role perfectly, co-starred with George Whiteley, Morrison Gray, Ruth White, and with Jack Coughlin as master of ceremonies. The comedian was none other than Nick Andros, our hilarious hero of “Chain Lightning.” This was sponsored by the Mary Jane Dufault and Anita Langevin Company, the famous interior decorators. We were then ushered into the Sports Studio where we found Paul Vecchiarelli, ace sports commentator for the Herbert Marsh Broadcasting System. We were cautioned to keep quiet because as we entered, he was broadcasting the highlights of the past year in athletic fields. In football both “Mike” Kononitz and Albert Kapansky, the “K” boys, ex- celled for dear old “Trade” Polytechnic Institute. Coach Jimmie Athas of “Trade” Polytechnic is proud of his All-American basketball player, Charles Zajac. Alex Cieplik went down in baseball history as the origi- nator of ‘“Cieplk’s Drop,” a ball that can’t be seen by the batter. “Pete” Pavloglou now is the World Champion pingpong player. He expects to retire from this line of work with his million. (We don’t believe it.) Charles Cieplinski, owner of the Ludlow Indians, was going on tour of the country with his hockey team. ‘He is the only one who thinks it is a hockey team.” Eh Kravitz’ Amateur Hour was our next stop and on the platform were the Harmony Two, Ruth Woodard and Rita Lemoine. Following these, came an impersonator from Feeding Hills, Mass. He was one of the leading farmers at home and imitated perfectly all the birds and beasts of the forest. His name is George Negosnick. Eli Kravitz and Company was sponsored by that wealthy widow, Genefa Page Sixty-Two IP Ia€ id, SARI ONE I, onda UNA IO Nae Sylosek who owned the largest show producing company in the world. In her employ is Augusta Parifacava, designer of all the costumes in the company’s wardrobe. As it was time for the studios to close, a new law backed by Joseph Wierzbowski, secretary of state, reading as follows: All studios shall be closed to visitors at five o’clock in the afternoon. The reason for this law no one seems to know. He thought it sounded good so he backed it. We were led out of the building and across the street to the largest news- paper of the day, ‘““‘The Rite-Nuze’”’ Syndicate owned by “Vic” Mazzarella. We entered and saw that Homer Chouinard was editor-in-chief and his staff included W. Cleveland, feature writer, and S. Orszulak, city editor. Handling the fashion editing for the Syndicate was Jennie Chmura. Suddenly a door burst open and in came James Downey with a sheaf of proofs clutched in his waving hands. He was the ace “‘comp” and was followed by “Speed” McEwan, his sidekick. They were exclaiming over the fact that the headline contained the scarehead ‘‘Henry Hermansky eraduates from 11th College,” and underneath was the story of how his rich uncle was squandering his wealth on this prodigy of education. Victor Bedak was the pressroom foreman and doing a good job as always. It was now time for supper, so we entered ‘‘Russo’s Cafeteria. He had his son as cashier as a reminder of his school days in the lunch room. The entertainer was June Rourke, blues singer, and the hostess was Beatrice Sorrell. Completing our repast, we indulged in a short walk and entered the World’s Fair grounds. The one who attracted our attention first was champion barker, Ralph Higgins, crowing about the wonders of Andrew Nietupski, strong man par-excellence of Curtis Averill’s wonder show. John Bellew was demonstrating his prowess at electrical wizardry and Harry Bryant, tallman of the circus, displayed his great height to the wondering crowd. Tony Carra was indulging in his favorite pastime, that of killing time, only at this moment he had the hula-hula dancer with him. Ernest Dunn was strutting around on stilts perfected by himself to overcome his shortness, and that of others who were short. As we continued on our way, we happened on Steven Diaduk, who was still arguing with his former girl friend, now his wife. Armnado Costa - was in a tent by himself willing to draw up plans, for a small sum, of any building you might wish to build. Francis Belezyk had a great crowd around him as he was distributing samples of his own brand of “‘Supreme”’ chocolates which “Nick” Coretsopolous was boasting very vociferously as the equal of any and all candies in the world. Richard Fitzgerald, now having the figure of a Greek Adonis, was displaying the latest creation in men’s clothes designed by Beatrice Gagne. Having completed our extremely interesting tour and being exhausted both physically and mentally, the sightseeing party returned to the air- port on top of the Television Building. There we boarded our deluxe air vehicle and departed, with an inner feeling of satisfaction because almost all of the class of 1938 were succeeding in their special lines of endeavor and were carving their niche in the Hall of Fame. Page Sixty-Three DET she eA SE Ae ee ar Editorial By Dixie Kay The day of graduation has arrived for the Senior Class of 1938. It is a day they have looked forward to all of their school life. A day of joy and sadness; joy for the Seniors and great satisfaction for having success- fully completed their Trade School course. There is sadness for us who remain. It will be especially sad for the Juniors, for the Class of “38” is a grand class. By their example they have been very helpful to us in our work. On this day we ask, ‘‘What does the future hold?’ Where will the Seniors go when they leave us? Will they work at the trade for which their school and teachers have prepared them? Some will, we know. To those that do, we sincerely hope that their training will help them over many arough spot in the road of life. We hope that the future holds for one and all success in their work, happiness and always pleasant memories of their school. The loss of the Class of ‘38’ will be keenly felt in all of our school activities. Our games will not be the same without the Senior Class, and we who sit in the bleachers will miss their lusty cheers. Will we, the Class of “39,” be able to fill those vacancies successfully? Although it will be some time before our day of graduation comes, in the meantime we will have a great deal to strive for to live up to the example our Senior Class has set for us, and to try to fill their places as well as they have. All the Seniors are with me in expressing their thanks and appreciation ae ie help the teachers have given them in the three years in Trade chool. The Junior Class joins with me in best wishes to the Class of ‘38’ and may they always maintain high standards and bring honor to their Alma Mater. Page Sixty-Four (Pa el Ag ree bu Aver Te Welcome Address by Henry Hermansky Good afternoon, members of the faculty, and students. We, the mem- bers of the class of 1938, extend to you a most cordial welcome to our class day exercises. We have spent three seemingly long years in school, striving to reach our goal—egraduation. But now that we have reached this goal, we real- ize that these three years have been pleasant and much too short. We want to thank Mr. Burridge and the faculty for their co-operation and understanding. We hope that we will reach the standards they have set for us, and shall be able to take our part in the coming days as in- telligent citizens in our respective communities. We hope that you will have an enjoyable afternoon with us, and in opening thes e exercises, I again say, ‘““Welcome to all of you.” Class Poem There is a school so fine and true, Its glorious colors are Gold and Blue. Outstanding things are done and made In this, our school, our school called TRADE! These three short years, we wonder why The time insists on flying by. Tis not long since with toss of head, “Oh, to be free of school,” we said. We gained our victories, one by one, Though times we lost, still it was fun Watching our boys go fighting through, Striving to win for Gold and Blue. We’ll miss our school and likewise mind Farewell that leaves good friends behind. And in the future when we meet These same old school friends on the street, We'll recall the things done and made When we attended dear old TRADE!

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. 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 presenta- tion 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 in 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. (Exeunt all, Juniors preceding, bearing shield.)

The five boys were outfitted in a new and original type of uniform that was the envy of every cheer leader in this city. They wore white pants with a blue stripe running down the sides and white sweaters, each bearing a letter from the name “Trade.” During the football and basketball seasons they introduced some new cheers that proved to be popular with students and teachers alike. Among them were the “1-2-3-4,” the “Slow Trade,” ‘“‘With a T, with an R,” and others. The boys were very tactful in appearing before the student body to lead cheers at a time when the team most needed support. Support of this kind serves to bolster up the players and inspire them to play more spiritedly. Page Seventy-Eight SPORTS (QS exe ACTIVITIES TH EY TRAD bab Ay ai Athletic Directors EDWARD A.

The inex- perienced Blue and Gold made things interesting for the Worcester combine in the first half and led 15-12 at half-time. In the last period, Worcester began to draw away, with Reigs, stellar center, throwing ten points for the cause. The Beavers’ scoring was divided between Negosnick, Rostowski and Holochuck. Trade—43 Holyoke Vocational—35 Trade was host to Holyoke Vocational at the Tech gym in its second game of the season which ended in a 43 to 35 victory for the Beavers. Coming from behind, the Beavers out-scored the Vokes, 18 to 5, to win the game by a convincing margin. Rostowski, LaMothe and Holochuck all reached double figures for Trade while Golec and Turcotte were high scorers for Holyoke. Trade—34 Commerce—19 Trade entertained Commerce at the Tech gym in its first game in defense of the city title. In this game, the Beavers surprised all by the convincing way in which they went to work on the more experienced Crimson team. The Blue and Gold earned the victory by the competent way in which it followed up its shots. More than half of the Beaver points were made in this manner. Little Yachim Holochuck featured in the scoring role for the Beavers, chalking up 12 points. Charley Zajac played a stellar defensive game while Maslowski, Ugolini and Yvon were high scorers for Commerce. Tech—33 Trade—20 The Tech Tigers proved too much for Trade in this rough and tumble contest, winning by a margin of 13 points. In the first half, the Beavers furnished fairly strong opposition and trailed only 20 to 16 at half-time. Tech began to move away in the last half, their height and experience proving to be a strong advantage. Dwyer, Brennan and Merola played spectacular ball for the Tigers, while Zajac and Holochuck excelled for Trade. Westfield Trade—35 Trade—25 Trade traveled to Westfield intending to play basketball. To their surprise they were shown into a back room, and this puzzled our hoopsters. When they were handed a basketball and somebody pointed out the hoops, they finally concluded that this must be the gym. Throughout the game, Westfield showed the onlookers many freak shots as they threw baskets from all angles of the court. Malawka, Westfield back, tallied nineteen points to lead the scores while Holochuck featured for Trade with nine. Vocational—26 Trade—24 Holyoke Vocational evened the score with Trade by virtue of a 26 to 24 score after having dropped an earlier game in Springfield. This was a fast game from start to finish with Holoyoke getting off to an early lead and losing it but once. In the final quarter, with but two minutes to play, and the score tied, Sullivan, Voke forward, threw the basket that spelled victory. Stalling tactics by the Holyokers whiled away the few remaining seconds, Negosnick and Dyjak were outstanding for the Beavers. Page Highty-Two tei he AC me be Awe Fe Trade—25 Classical—13 In its third interschool game of the season, Trade had no easy time beating an underdog Classical five. The Bulldogs set up a zone defense that bothered the Beavers no little. In this low-scoring game, Trade led 2 to 0 after one period of play, and 8 to 6 at the midway station. Coach Ted Plumb used his reserves plentifully and they showed plenty of class, especially in the last period when they tallied ten points. LaMothe was high man for the Beavers, scoring ten points, while Zajac played a fine defensive game. Bourque and Wilson were outstanding for Classical. Trade—28 Cathedral—27 This game, played in the Tech gym, was a thriller with the lead changing fre- quently. The supposedly weak Purple team played inspired ball throughout. In the last minute of the play, the Panthers held a one-point lead until Joe Korbut intercepted a Cathedral pass in their backcourt, dribbled to the foul circle and dropped the ball through the hoop as coolly as though Trade held a ten point advantage. Holochuck again proved to be the scoring star of the game, contributing fifteen points to the Beaver cause. O’Connor and Roy were important factors in keeping Cathedral in the ball game. Worcester Trade—40 Trade—16 Worcester Trade brought with them a star who proved too much for the Beavers. Reiges was a basketball team in himself, for, besides throwing twenty points he assisted in the scoring of fourteen points more with his fine passing. For the Beavers, Holochuck led the scoring and Zajac played well in the back- court. Coach Ted Plumb used fifteen players in attempts to stem the tide but the Worcester boys had their day. Trade—39 Commerce—24 Trade School stayed in the running for interschool honors by defeating Commerce on its own floor in a wild and woolly affray. It seemed to be a game of foul shots, Trade counting eleven and Commerce dropping twelve points from the free-throw line. The Beavers outplayed the Cougars in every period, Yachim Holochuck throwing in field goals and one charity toss to lead the scorers while Charley Zajac performed well in holding the Crimson sharpshooters under control. Maslowski and Geaffrion excelled for Commerce. Page Eighty-Three TH EAT ERAD HG BANE ss Trade—29 West field—20 The Beavers evened up the series with their Westfield rivals, having gone down to defeat at the Westfield so-called gym earlier in the season. Trade put the game on ice in the first quarter, outscoring Westfield eleven to one. After this the vistors could not get back into the running. Korbut was immense for the Beavers, tallying six field goals to lead both teams in scoring. Bob LaMothe also looked good for Trade in scoring eight points, while Malawaka was Westfield’s best with nine points. Tech—38 Trade—31 This game, played in the Tech gym which was packed to the doors, was a crowd- pleaser from start to finish. Both teams played the best ball that was in them, with Tech appearing to have the edge in ability. The Beavers started things rolling in the early minutes and led at the close of the period, eleven to five. In the second period the Tiger attack began to click and they took over the lead before the half. In the third period, the lead changed hands no less than six times. Again in the final stanza, Trade captured the lead through baskets by Holochuck but soon lost it for good as Tech began moving away. The two Tech forwards, Merola and Brennan tallied thirty points and Raschi threw the other eight points to complete Tech’s scoring. Holochuck and Negosnick featured Trade’s scoring with eleven points. Charley Zajac excelled in the backcourt. Classical—24 Trade—20 Coach Ted Plumb pulled a surprise in this game by benching Yachim Holochuck, George Negosnick and Capt. Zajac from the starting lineup and George Holuk, a reserve back. These boys disregarded Ted’s orders concerning outside basketball. Bob LaMothe and Joe Korbut with the help of inexperienced reserves did fairly well but could not click well enough to give Classical enough opposition. Wilson, Seaver and Saab featured Classical’s attack while Rostowski was high man for the Beavers. Trade—26 Cathedral—20 Trade’s final game of the season found Holochuck and Capt. Zajac reinstated to the Varsity. By winning this game, the Beavers clinched second place in inter- school competition. Trade started fast and led fourteen to ten at the half, but really went to town in the third stanza, outscoring the Panthers ten to four. Yachim Holochuck had a big night, parting the draperies six times from the floor and twice from the free throw line . This brought his season total to seventy-six points, three points less than Stan Maslowski, Commerce center, who led the scorers in interschool play. Charley Zajac played his usual fine defensive game for the Beavers while Jim Tabb and Garvey were the best for the Panthers.

Two four-run rallies in the first and second innings sewed up the ball game for Orange as they battered Cieplik and Kielbania hard for a total of ten runs and thirteen hits. : Harris and Stone led the Orange attack while Fossa starred for the Beavers. Trade—4 West field—2 Trade’s second contest of the year was a 4 to 2 victory for Trade, as Norman Rosner hurled four-hit ball with only one bad inning, the sixth, when the Frogs scored their two runs. Coughlin, Westfield Trade pitcher, settled down after a shaky start and held the Beavers scoreless after the third inning. Rosner was the whole show for Trade while Coughlin took individual honors for the Westfield machinists. Trade—9 Orange—5 A five-run rally in the fifth inning gave the Beavers a well-earned victory over their Orange rivals in their third tilt of the year. When starting-pitcher Kielbania faltered, Rosner went in and stopped successfully an Orange uprising in the seventh inning. Fossa collected four hits, one a homerun. Tech—6 Trade—1 Vic Raschi, Tech’s sterling pitcher, turned back the Beavers with only one run and three hits as Trade lost its interschool opener at Forest Park, May 19. The Tech ace retired the last eighteen Beavers in unbroken succession and the only Beaver who troubled him was the hard-hitting Fossa who reached him for two bin- gles. Raschi also fanned thirteen Beavers. The Tigers scored five runs in the fourth inning and added another in the sixth, while the lone Beaver tally came in the third. Six errors by the Beavers helped the Tech cause greatly. Classical—8 Trade—5 Behind steady pitching by Wilson, the Classical Bulldogs scored an 8 to 5 victory over the Beavers who thereby lost their second straight interschool game. Classical scored in three different innings, tallying five times in the eighth to clinch the game. Nine bases on balls constituted a helpful gift to Classical. For Trade, Buendo and Captain LaMothe each collected three hits while Duquette and Hurley were the best batters for the Blue and White. Cathedral—8s Trade—0 The Beavers suffered their only shutout of the year in this game as Bob O’Herron, Purple hurler, blanked them with nine hits. Trade had only one scoring chance in this game and if successful it might have turned the tide, but a triple play at that stage completely discouraged the Beavers. Pepper caught a line-drive off Capt. LaMothe’s bat with the bases filled, in the fifth, stepped on second base and then relayed to Podavini at first base to complete the triple play. Burnham, Kennedy, and Podavini led the Cathedral offense while Wyzik, Fossa and Kosolowski tried hard to spur on a Beaver attack with 2 hits each. Trade—9 West field—2 Trade School jumped back into the win column when it downed the Westfield Trade Machinists, 9 to 2, at Van Horn Park. The game was originally scheuled for the Whip City but transferred here when it was learned that the Westfield diamond was too wet to play on. Buendo, Fossa and Wyzik all hit well for the Beavers while Lajewski batted best for their rivals. Page Highty-Six sak ti, LE Ie5 AL ODD” Ness divat Adda Worcester—6 Trade—3 Three runs in the tenth inning by Worcester Trade gave them a 6 to 3 verdict over the Beavers in a hard-fought tussle played at Blunt Park. It was a heart-breaking game for Jimmy Colli, Beaver pitcher, to lose because he allowed only one hit in eight frames up to the last of the ninth, when the Beavers tied up the game at three all. A pass, two hits and two squeeze plays accounted for the three Worcester runs in the tenth. Trade—9 Commerce—3 Trade School won their first interschool tilt of the season by shellacking the Commerce Cougars 9 to 38, at Forest Park. Trade went to work in earnest, piling up five runs in less than three innings and collecting four more off the relief pitching of Poulas. The Beavers had a total of twenty-one assists in this game which is fine fielding. Trade scored three runs in the second inning, two in the third, one in the next, and three more in the ninth, while Commerce tallied twice in the fourth canto, and once more in the eighth. Wyzik and Kielbania were outstanding for Trade while Abrahamson was best for the upper State Streeters. Trade—2 Classical—0 Norman Rosner shut out the Blue and White batsmen with seven hits as the Beavers copped their second successive interschool victory of the year. Using three hits very effectively the Blue and Gold came through with the game when John Fossa rammed a double to left field with the bases loaded in the eighth inning. Cathedral—9 Trade—7 Cathedral High scored three runs in the eighth inning to win a seesaw interschool tussle from Trade by a 9 to 7 score. The lead changed no less than six times and although the game was a long one, it was very exciting. Trade took the lead in the eighth inning when they scored two runs, but the Purple came right back with their game-clinching rally in their half. Kennedy was the sparkplug of the Panther attack while Rosner led the Beaver batsmen with four hits. Tech—8 Trade—7 This game clinched the interschool title for Tech, but arguments still flare up occasionally because of a disputed ninth inning Tech tally which won the game. The play was as follows: With the bases filled in the ninth inning and one out, Goodsell of Tech, hit a grounder down to Wyzik, Beaver third baseman. Wyzik, _ naturally playing in close to cut off the run, scooped up the ball, whirled around to see where the runner was and whipped the ball to the plate to Miller who stepped on the home plate, forcing the runner and then threw to first in a futile effort to nail Goodsell. Umpire Shea behind home plate thought that W yzik had touched third, thereby making it necessary for Miller to touch out the oncoming runner. All Beaver arguments failed to change the decision. Worcester—7 Trade—6 For the final game of the year, the Beavers journeyed to Worcester to play their rivals and they dropped a heart-breaker by a 7 to 6 count. After earning six runs on seven hits and tying the game up in the eighth inning, Trade lost out when Worcester tallied the game-winning marker in their half. Rice and Liberty led the Worcester attack with four and three hits respectively, while LaMothe and Fossa both collected two singles. Page Highty-Seven TH ob TRAC Beh Aay ghiek.

The Beavers looked impressive despite the fact that they only had one veteran back from the 1936 grid team and that was Captain “Bill” Kononitz. Pavloglou and Learned also played well for Trade while Lamagna was the whole show for Enfield. Trade—14 Litchfield—0 Trade School chalked up its second straight victory at the Emily Bill playground when it turned back the Junior Republic eleven of Litchfield, Connecticut, 14 to 0. Touchdowns in the first and last periods and a safety in the opening session accounted for the points. Bolbas ran forty yards for the first score and Buendo blocked a kick which rolled back over the end zone for an automatic safety. Buendo scored the other touchdown in a series of passes by Russo. Holochuck, Russo, Buendo, and Kononitz starred for Trade while B. Erickson and Mallinskas excelled for the losers. Trade—25 Northampton—0 The Beavers registered their third consecutive shutout win as they trampled all over Northampton High 25 to 0. Scoring in every period, Trade put on a fine display of offensive power as Pavloglou pounded through the Green line repeatedly, twice for touchdowns. Buendo caught Ferranti’s pass in enemy territory and raced twenty-one yards for another score. In the first period Bolbas smashed through from the one-yard line after Learned had run twenty yards to bring it there. Kapansky, Holochuck, Kononitz, and Ferranti starred for Trade while O’Connor and Seczuezko played fine ball for Northampton. Tech—14 Trade—0 Poor Trade kicks booted away the ball game and the Beavers dropped their first tilt in four starts because of this. Tech’s all-around power and advantages were not enough to beat Trade and the game might have ended in a scoreless tie but for the “breaks.” The first one occured when a bad punt gave Tech the ball on the Beaver forty _yard line. After a series of rushes Kuhn went over from the one-yard line after a five-yard penalty placed the ball there. A blocked Beaver kick early in the third period paved the way for the final score which came via a pass from Kuhn to Carr. Morgan made both placements after touchdowns. Page Eighty-Nine VHRR eACD ay eee Agy aac Classical—20 Trade—6 Trade fell apart in the last quarter of this game after leading 6 to 0 for three periods and Classical made three quick stabs for touchdowns and a convincing victory. Evasius scored the only Beaver touchdown late in the second quarter on a pass from Ferranti. In the last session, Seaver threw a long pass to Wilson for the first Classical score. Welch piled through center for the second and Wilson intercepted a pass for the third touchdown. Trade—13 Cathedral—6 Trade School won their only interschool victory of the year from Cathedral by a 13 to 6 count. The Beaver machine clicked on all cylinders as they outplayed the Purple from the start to finish, rolling up sixteen first downs to Cathedral’s four and gained two hundred and nine yards rushing to seventy-five for their rivals. The only Panther score came in the second period when Tabb flipped a pass to Lehr on the one- yard marker. In the same quarter Trade tallied when Ferranti tossed a pass to Evasius. In the third period Ferranti ran cleverly through the Cathedral secondary for the final touchdown. Holochuck, Evasius and Ferranti excelled for the Beavers, while Haggerty, Foley, Tabb and Champoux played best for Cathedral. Commerce—8 Trade—0 Two blocked Beaver punts enabled Commerce to score an 8 to 0 victory and leave Cathedral, Commerce and Trade deadlocked for third place in the City League. Trade was outplayed and outhustled by a fighting Crimson team that allowed the Beavers to pass into Commerce territory only once and then only as far as the forty yard stripe. For the Cougars, Zieminski and Bonavito starred, while Holochuck and Korbut looked the best for Trade.

Theodore Piwowarczyk Raymond Sorranson John Workum John Lawler Charles Dyjak Kenneth Wright David Roberts Gordon Levesque Trade School’s 1937 soccer team again under the tutelage of Edward McGibney had a fairly successful season, winning six games, tying one, and dropping five. The best game of the year was the Ludlow-Trade game which ended in a scoreless tie. All five losses suffered by the Beavers were by one goal margins. In the interschool league, the Beavers finished behind Technical, the leaders. Throughout the season, the defensive play of Costa, the fine goal stands of Andre and the clever offensive attack of Zanetti and Caputo was outstanding.

Many of the matches were cancelled due to rainy weather. The Beavers, after several heart-breaking losses, finally came through with a win over Commerce. Dyjak and Dashevsky won exciting and close-fought games both in singles and as a doubles combination. Captain John Pluta also won after a few hotly contested sets. Chouinard and Nowak, two new additions to the team lost their matches due to their lack of experience in contest play.

They opened up against Commerce and the game ended in a 3-3 deadlock. Captain Ferranti played stellar hockey as did Sabourin and Aegiro. Mondoux, at goal, did a fine job during the season considering the inexperienced defense men that worked in front of him. His list of “saves” are high in number. Page Ninety-Three IE EOE IRA Sts By HARV ei Te Intramural Victors The Auto Shop won the shop league hoop title for the season of 1937-38 by virtue of a 29 to 28 victory over its nearest rival, Machine. Led by Captain Arthur Kapansky, the champions ran up a victory streak of twelve consecutive wins after winning a game and losing a game. Their only defeat came at the hands of an inspired Print team. December 5 was the opening day of the shop league and on April 8 the final game was played. During that time, 112 games were played in two rounds at the Tech girls’ gym. Mr. Elvin, Drafting Shop instructor, added interest in the shop league no little by having box score blanks made. After each game these were filled out and tacked up on the bulletin board. Occasionally the 25 leading scorers would be drawn up. Draft shop, with an average of only 17 boys in the whole shop again finished in last place, dropping thirteen games and winning only one, this on a forfeit. Richard Meany, Electric, won the scoring title with 153 points. Bator, Machine, took second place by scoring 123 markers while Kapansky, Auto, had 110 points. The worst defeat of the year was suffered by Pattern as they took a 68 to 5 lacing from Machine. In this game Bator rolled up a season record of 82 points. Boryska, Pattern, and O’neill, Electric, share the “bad man” role, each having 22 personal fouls called on him. The best game of the year was the championship tilt between Auto and Machine. After showing surprising stamina, clever passwork and scoring in the pinches, Auto finally gained the verdict when Yacavone’s long shot settled in the basket with but 380 seconds to play. During the remaining time Machine took no less than six shots in futile attempts to score. Throughout the season the work of Kapansky was brilliant and steady. Broderick and Tompkins were scorers of no mean ability while Caranicolas and Yacavone were fine defensive players as well. The team’s passing was the keynote of the attack with Kapansky as the spearhead. Auto scored 304 points to its opponents’ 172.

They suffered their only defeat at the hands of Commerce High. This defeat caused them to lose the interschool title to the Raiders because of the new ruling put into effect by Mr. Franklin Gray. This rule stated that the golf team with the most points at the end of the season would win the title. Formerly the record of games won and lost was the basis of de- ciding the winner. Two close victories over South Hadley were highlights of the season. Captain Kubik paced all other Beaver golfers with a season average of 8514. Kubik also turned the best score of the year, 83, twice! Page Ninety-Five ALTOAOVA TOOHOS ACVUL AHL TAO ADE Di Aa ele ie teGerme lala sierh KA Veh h George A. Burridge Margaret C. Ells William E.

AMA d IEE NIU, Poids) 2 Id; Tee The Proposed New Trade School Several years have passed since the plans for the proposed new Trade School were prepared by the architect. We were very hopeful then because it appeared as if funds would be made available for erecting and equipping a building that would house the various activities of the school and provide additional rooms for the adding of new courses. Unfortunately circumstances did not permit the work to go forward, with the result that since that time the Trade School has been forced to occupy rooms in other buildings in order to accommodate a small number of those seeking admission. With an enrollment of nine hundred and fifty boys and girls, housed in four different buildings, the facilities are still inadequate to permit admitting all who wish to enroll. In fact, there is now a waiting list of approximately eight hundred. However, in spite of these conditions we still have very good reasons to be optimistic. There is evidence of a definite renewal of interest on the part of the public and the city authorities for a new building. Consideration is being given to the selecting of a suitable site for a structure to accommodate two thousand students. The architect has again been asked to prepare estimates in order that all may be in readiness should negotiations and plans now under consideration terminate favor- ably. These activities seem to indicate that it will be only a matter of time when the beautiful, spacious building shown on this page becomes a reality. We know that there are serious problems to overcome. Present economic conditions make it difficult for those in authority to manage the finances of our city. Experience has taught us to be considerate and patient, and we shall continue to be hopeful for the sake of those boys and girls who are anxiously waiting.
