THE TRADE BEAVER THE CITY LIBRARY SPRINGFIELD Mage DESIGN AND COMPOSITION BY THE STUDENTS OF THE SPRINGFIELD TRADE SCHOOL SPRINGFIELD, MASS. THE TRADE BEAVER Mr. George A. Burridge We affectionately dedicate this book to Mr. George A. Burridge, our director, who has worked with us diligently and with integrity. His clear understanding of our many problems has eased the way for us during our stay at Trade. The results of his influence will ever remain an asset to us through the years to come. We congratulate you and salute you, Mr. Burridge, on your twenty-fifth anniversary as an educator and helper of young people. IEE ERAS Drea he Aaa MR. GEORGE A. BURRIDGE It is not only pleasant, but gratifying and inspiring, to speak of Mr. Burridge on his completion of a quarter of a century’s service to vocational education in America. It is always pleasant to greet an old friend on any anniversary; but te contemplate a notable career so firmly built on the foundations of true character can only evoke the deeper emotions of solace and joy. Men of his kind—would that they numbered millions !— refusing to seek the acclaim of national notice, enter far more valuably into the fabric of the nation's life and ultimate glory than is ever known during their own generation. Of the highest integrity of purpose, of the sincerest and most unselfish ideal of service, of the most sterling qualities of manhood, men like him are a benediction on their friends and a godsend to their times. Can you imagine a youth who had once come genuinely under Mr. Burridge’s influence ever developing into a dictator? Can you imagine him as a violator of pledges, or a persecutor of underprivileged minorities? Could he possibly grow to be an unscrupulous practitioner of greed? If his later life showed anything but wholesome, decent, useful, generous activity, then his soul must have been most wretchedly warped. And even some oddly twisted characters, as I happen to know, have been happily straightened under the intelligent and faithful ministra- tions of Mr. Burridge. These statements will shock their subject, because he doesn’t even suspect such things about himself. And he will be embar- rassed and saddened at the thought that an old friend has wandered from the ways of truth. But I am willing to uphold my appraisal against his denial of it before any jury of my peers. They will have to be my peers, because his peers could not be found.

Burridge In all fields of endeavor progress is recorded by what is frequently called “Mile- stones,” in other words, by certain outstanding events. The Trade School has to its credit numerous mile-stones. Its humble beginning in 1909 was uneventful. In a sense it had no home, being housed here and there in different school buildings wherever there was a room available. The top floor of a factory building on Taylor Street was its first home in 1911. Then came the Pynchon Street building where it was housed from 1914 to 1921. Each time it was moved, the curriculum was expanded to meet growing demands for specialized education. The consolidation of the Trade School and the Continuation School in, 1934, was to mark an epoch in the life of the school, for, as a result of this consolidation, trade courses for girls were organized. Today the school has an enrollment of 950 boys and girls, but there are many others who are being denied admission because of the limited facilities, however their appeals have not gone unheeded because our school is again approaching a truly sig- nificant mile-stone, undoubtedly the greatest in its history. When it opens its doors for the fall term September 4th, 1940, it will be housed in the finest Trade School building in New England where ultimately 2000 boys and girls will be accommodated. The students and the faculty of the Trade School are indeed grateful to the citi- zens of Springfield for the beautiful, spacious building which has been erected on upper State Street. AND hd DAWA AFI OY Om 88 Oe VAD i Ce Assistant Principals The Class of 1940 will be the fourth and last class of the Girls’ Division of Trade School to graduate from the Old Hooker School building at 2025 Main Street. Our graduates have been earnest workers; they have been loyal to their school and community and have main- tained high standing with their em- ployers in the work they have chosen to do. With pleasant memories of working and playing together, we now turn our faces toward the new school on State Street and trust that the girls who grad- uate in the future will pause to consider the high standards that we have set for them. I can think of no better wish for the Class of 1940 than that they find hap- piness in their work and set an example of industry and self-reliance by earn ing an independent living. Boys and girls who do this are men und women of to- morrow who will be counted among the leaders of their community and will form the backbone of a democracy that can- not fail. Mrs. Margaret C. Ells For the past three years, the Trade School has endeavored to equip you for a start in life. The future rests very much with you. Trade’s honor and reputation can be maintained only through the standards each student establishes. The school has had many splendid contacts with indus- try. Help us to keep these contacts friendly and enable us to make many more, through your efforts to do YOUR BEST in whatever task is set before you. Trade wants to be proud of you and our wish is that you will always be proud of Trade. Thomas J.

This group of young men and women were to pursue a course of study which would later enable them to specialize in a trade in our modern world. That same group of yo ung men and women were to become the graduating class of 1940. The first few weeks were spent getting acquainted with the school, Many students. familiar with the different methods of teaching, were amazed at the curriculum used here but soon found the value of having part-time academic subjects and part-time trade training. They soon found the vocabulary they were familiar with was inadequate and that there was a special vocabulary used in each individual shop. These students were also amazed at the number of interesting school activities carried on by the juniors and seniors. An extensive drive was being carried on to obtain a 100% member- ship in the Student Association. Students were busy electing officers for the Student Council. Later, a series of interesting assemblies including musical programs and many prominent speakers from our community were presented to the student body. In September, 1938,the same group of boys and girls returned to Trade School eager to start their junior year. Many students proved themselves to be outstanding in school life by taking part in student council, the glee club, the band, the play “The Christmas Road’’, the musical comedy “Sunny Skies’, and many other extra-curricular activities. After two years delightfully spent, the pupils who first entered the doors of Trade School were now occupying the position of seniors. The senior class quickly organized and officers were elected as follows: James Braica, president; Catherine Lamson, vice- president; Albert Distifano, secretary; and Rhea Chapdelaine, treasurer. Both the girls’ and boys’ student councils organized, with officers for the girls as follows: Ines DiLuzio, president; Dorothy Couture, vice-president; and Catherine Lamson, secretary. The boys’ student council officers were Leo Lambert, president; Peter Charko, vice-president; and Evaldo Morace, secretary. A Christmas Cantata, “‘Childe Jesus)’ was put on by the com- bined glee clubs, of which many seniors were members. Some of the activities in which seniors took an important part were the Community Chest drive, American Education Week, the successful Trade School dance, and the sponsoring of a circus to raise funds for the year book. The last few months were spent getting ready for the prom, banquet, and grad- uation which are all memorable occasions in one’s life. These months, although filled with hopes and visions of becoming useful, self-supporting citizens able to “stand on their own’, were also sad ones because we were leaving the school which had made itself dear to our hearts through its encouragement and affection as well as its techni- cal training. Then came Graduation Day! We marched down the aisie with pride and joy at receiving our diplomas but with regret and sadness that our school days were over.

Now we are faced with the fact that three years have flown, and that our efforts, during this period, will be recorded as the groundwork for whatever the future might have in store for cooperative education in cur city. We would like to leave school firm in the belief that we have helped to lay a solid foundation upon which future classes can build, and that we have been instrumental, in some small degree, in bringing the school and industry closer together. Mingling with the workaday world has been a new experience for all of us, entirely unlike anything we have had in our previous school life; but it has had a broadening effect and should make us better fitted to take our places in the general scheme of things. To the school officials, the faculty and our instructors we extend our heartfelt thanks for their patience and guidance, and for their confidence in selecting us as the pioneer class in this new phase of vocational school work. We leave with them our assurance that we will conduct ourselves so that their confidence will not have been misplaced. To our employers in industry, our superintendents, our foremen and our fellow workmen, we express our gratitude for all the assistance given us and for the many favors which we have been granted. We fully appreciate our debt to them and hope that their efforts in our behalf will bring rich returns. To those who follow in our footsteps we give our best wishes and earnestly hope that they, too, will build wisely and well, in order that the privileges of cooperative education may be enjoyed by interested students through many years to come.

Which word is the most important? To us as graduates of Trade School I think it is ‘“Integrity’’—the doing of one’s work for the love of doing it, the pride of good workmanship. It seems that people who have developed this fine trait have everything else that is needed to assure them of a respected social standing in life. Such people usually are able to secure steady employment quickly, become self-supporting and are highly respected by their neighbors and fellow workers. During our short stay at Trade we have learned to be the kind of workers our motto tells us to be: Patient and Industrious; we have learned to love our shops and the fellows who have worked on the machine or the bench next to us; we have learned a trade that will stand by us as long as life remains. We have learned through association with each other how to get along with the “other fellow.” We have learned through association with Mr. Burridge, principal, and Mrs. Ells, assistant principal; and the patient faculty members that—as we start out in a new field of life—those ahead of us, with whom we shall associate, are going to help us learn as we work, as long as we do our part, just as our teachers have helped us and worked with us. We thank them for their help and for the feeling of confidence they have instilled in us. We are proud of their ability; we are proud to enter their trades; and we are proud that we are Trade School graduates. To the undergraduates we leave marks to shoot at, records to be equalled. We hope these students who are to follow us will even better our records. We want them to increase the reputa- tion of Trade School as we hope we have done. To you all we extend a hearty farewell and thank you for past favors and co-operation. THE TRADE BEAVER Class Prophecy “The World of Tomorrow”—magic words—a world as yet not experienced by anyone, but looked forward to and prophesied and depicted by United States engineers. As I rode up the long escalator of the Perisphere where I was to see “The World of Tomor- row” laid out before me, I wondered what it would be like. Then I was on the platform slowly revolving around towns and villages, fields and cities of a cleaner, more spacious, lighter, safer, and more beautiful countryside called “The World of Tomorrow.” Sud- denly I realized that I was no longer gazing at it, fascinated, from a revolving platform; I was in it, leading the life of the people, sharing their aims and ambitions and rejoicing in their success, I walked across an open parkway to a huge building that attracted my attention. The entire building was made of glass. On the corner stone I read, “Designed by Wm. F, Fleming, and Albert J. Plante (whom I knew to be recognized architects) and execut- ed by Sternala, Garwacki, Chenevert and Simeoli,” construction engineers. Upon entering, I stood amazed at the magnificent splendor of the lobby. Glass was everywhere. The colored lights in the ceiling sparkled like diamonds and cast illusions so that it was no wonder I did not see the guide come up to me. I was not surprised, however, to find it was Lillian Diotalevi. I remarked about the lighting and was told that Capt. Hough, Jerry O’Melia, and Richard Meaney with the help of Edwin Rretta, Felix Can- gro, Alexander Fettes, Bill Vezina and Fred Staples were responsible for it. The first floor of the building was given exclusively to Margaret Theodore’s dress shop. Entering a door on the left I stood for a moment to catch my breath. This room was made entirely of glass and was draped with black velvet curtains. Anna Misterka was modeling the latest creations of Ines DiLuzio. In the audience were Gloria Contro and Genevieve Wroblewska who had just returned from a clipper trip to Sonth America. Al Morassi and his millionaire wife were buying her wardrobe for a trip to Mars. From this gorgeous room Lillian and I started for the convention hall where the presidential campaign was in full swing. Just before we entered the door, Eddie Sulborski greeted us and suggested that we try the new footwear he was selling. His selling point was more miles per foot pound. The campaign s peeches were well under way when we entered the hall. “Little Joe’ Caputo was running for the presidency on the “Work for a Living” ticket, seconded by Phil Phaneuf. Opposing them on the “Government Owes Me a Living” platform was Tom Reaside strongly supported by Allen Parker. Jimmy Braica’s newspaper was backing Caputo. Dominick Mascolo’s paper was for Reaside and ran graphic cartoons of the candidates, drawn by Norman Duquette. Taking an active part on the “Equal Rights for Women” ticket was Doris Bengle, beautifully gowned in a creation by Elizabeth Bonzagni, and wearing a coiffure designed by Nellie Skowron, and a hat created by Dorothy Bolduc. Taking candid camera shots for Dominic Vercellone’s book of “Biographical Sketches of Celebrities” was Bill Crowley. He got one of Angelo Lacivita, president of Antistudy College, and Joe Korbut, football coach at the same institution, also one of Mickey Galas, goal tender for the All American Soccer Team, and “Baggy” Baginski, lightweight boxing champion of the world. He then snapped Henry Dumas and “Pap” Pappaceno, managers of the European Daily Airline Express, in characteristic poses, while Virginia Merigian, in charge of its air hostess service, looked on. Present also were Gloria Bachand who played opposite Raymond Senecal in Catharine Lamson’s latest play; Al DiStefano who had just published his book “How to Be Liked by All,” and Norman Black of the Black Trans- portation Co. Bill then snapped millionaire Mitchell Zielinski, characteristically asleep in a corner. Busily sketching for their firms were commercial artists Georgina Poules and Bruno Gallerani. The empty, hollow feeling in my stomach told me it was lunch time and Lillian took me to the Sky Way Dining Salon, operated by Helen Balser and Irene Pooler. Theresa Tudryn, the hostess, seated us. Upon looking around we THE TRADE - BEAVER discovered Arthur Craven, chief of police, laying down the law to Mayor LaFrance. At that point John Begley of the S, P. C. A. appeared, red of face and out of breath after rescuing Public Health Nurse, Dorothy Shlosser, from Possum, LaFrance’s pet coon, Lunching there also were newspaper men, Ray McNamee, foreign correspondent, Ed. Wonsek and “Mar” Maruca, sports editors, and “Beano” Kida and “Chick” Sale roli of the gossip column, together with Leon Coon and Joseph Josefek of the telephone company. Bill Langevin of the City Engineering Department was having lunch with art supervisors, Betty Benoit and Julia Bielecka of the School Board. Presently State Trooper Richard Mosher entered and joined Kako Bak, Bob Violanti, and “Buck” Buckley all of whom appeared to be prosperous business men. They told us about the newest rocket for travel to the other planets being built by ‘“‘Whemp” Dalto, Ed Dymon, John Dynak and Jerry Roberge. One feature of the rocket was to be the novel way of serving complete meals in capsule form perfected by Jennie Sambor. On being told that U. S. plane carrier Pheonix was in the harbor, we decided to go on a tour of inspection. We were greeted by Commanding Officer John Dion and Chief Radio Engineer Casey Tyburski who introduced us to our old friends, Chief Engineers Jim Walsh and Philip Naylor, and Chief Petty Officer Joseph Leger. Among the pilots were “Mousey” Mycofsky, Thomas Limotti and Al Rollins who praised the work of their mechanics, ‘“‘Sisky” Sisk, Sam Soja, “Ziggi’” Bobrowski, John Glica and Lee Landry. We also greeted our friends David D’Antonio, Dominic St. Peter, Dominic Argiro, Theodore Bryda, Joseph Furlani, Edward Moore and Harold O’Brien who had joined the navy to see the world. On our way back we met radio announcer Stanley Chmura who just returned from Florida where ‘“‘Melon” Wyzik, Eddie Chrusciel, ‘‘Whizzer” Farina and “Win” Miorandi were in training for the baseball season. He also reported that “Sluggo” Ciesla had just won a golf tournament and “‘Mohee” Castonguay was headed for the hockey championship. Our next destination was Leo Gaston’s night club to hear Charles Thomas’ band including Mike Ciecko, Al Dias, Al Meadows and Pete Gould and featuring Eddie Bey Kalagian on the saxophone. The dancing stars of the club were Jennie Maratea, wearing a theatrical gown designed by Rhea Chapdelaine, and “Wally” Dzwilewski, the Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire of the day. In the audience we noticed Chester Kida with eight of his twelve little ‘““Kidas” and Ed Plass all dressed up in a red shirt and necktie to match. We also saw Bill Vershon, Casey Sotiropulos, Tommy Chlastawa, “Duke” Duca, Joseph Kulezykiewicz, John Krzynowek, and Frank Hack all looking very happy and successful. Perhaps one of the biggest attractions at this club was the services of Pete Charko’s Escort Bureau for Lonely Women. Among the most successful of the ladies’ men were Ed Lubarski, Charley Mansfield, Frank Marsh, and “Mugsy” Dynak with Francis Haley, John Lyon, “Oley” Olson, ‘“Nazy” Maiuri and “Mona” Morace not far behind them in popularity with the unescorted ladies. On our way out of the club we met “Buck” Lombardi who told us he had just returned from seeing “Doc” Smola, the famous inventor of a gasless automobile, who is turning out 1,000 automobiles a day, with the help of “Mac” Macko, “Lab” Labonte, Leo Leonczyk, Theo Opalinski and “Blackie” Peltier. The great demand for these machines was due to the splendid selling ability of “Prof.” Ucella. At that point I found myself being helped off the revolving platform by a guard and I realized that I had indeed been in “The World of Tomorrow.” but now I was back in the world of today. However, before my eyes became accustomed to the daylight of today, I caught a glimpse of John Popolosky, “Beans” Varzeas, and Tony Kwajew- ski sitting on a park bench, still with no ambition and as happy as ever. THE TRADE BEAVER Class Poem Our thanks we bring, and grateful praise, To you, our school, who all our days, Has guided, led, and urged us forth To do our best and show our worth. Three years, so short, we spent with thee; Leaving, to seek our fate, are we; With hand and heart and well-trained brain, Success through work we hope to gain. We trust the future years that pass Will better be because this class Has lived and thought and worked and played Inspired by the School called “Trade’’! Lucy Picano Editorial Shavarsh Tarpinian We congratulate the members of the class of 1940 for their stellar accomplishments during their three years of school at Trade. Now that they are ready to leave, we won- der what will happen to them in the near future—What are their reactions in regard to Trade School education. Do they wonder whether their three years of school were use- less, or do they consider the trade they have learned is something to back them up as they face the world. Every Trade School graduate should be proud that he has learned a “trade” which will aid him in earning a living in later life—a trade such as printing, drafting, pattern-making, Auto-repairing, niachine work, electrical en- geneering, cabinet-making, dress-making, cooking, hair dressing, interior decorating that will simplify his chances of getting a job. He should be glad of the support, the backing, so willingly given by Trade School instructors who recommend him for any job for which he has fitted himself. We sincerly hope every graduate fulfills his ambitions. We seem lost without the helpful guiding hand of the class of 1940 and will try to carry on the fine work of this class. We hope, that you, the class of 1940, will carry with you the pleasant memories of your Alma Mater. THE TRADE BEAVER Outstanding Members of the Senior Class DORIS BENGLE ANGELO LACIVITA Two years ago a new tradition started in Trade School, the choosing of the outstanding boy and girl in the senior class. This choice is to be yearly and carry with it a suitable award. The boy to win such an honor this year was Angelo Lacivita and the girl Doris Bengle. The purpose of this award is to foster ‘betterment of student efficiency in all matters pertaining to Trade School.” The names of these award winners are inscribed each year on a plaque which hangs in the corridor of the school. To win such an award the student must rank very high in scholarship, athletic ability, attitudes, dependability and school activities. THE TRADE BEAVER Class Will Know all men by these presents, that in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and forty, we, the Senior Class, of the Springfield Trade School, of the County of Hampden, in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, being of as sound mind and body as we probably ever will be, in order to relieve ourselves of our excess talents, do ordain this confused and confusing atrocity to be our last will and testament, and do bequeath these talents and possessions as follows: Article I.

THE CLASS OF 1940 Witnesses :— Vincent P. Kramer Agnes H. Mansfield Harry LaBroad THE TRADE BEAVER Handing Down The Shield (A Boy and Girl enter, wearing blue and gold sashes on shoulder and across breast.) se 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 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 pres- entation 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 piaces 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, hearing shield.) EAE DRA DEBE AW ER Acknowledgment We, the members of the Year Book staff take this opportunity to express our appreciation to Mr. Mack, Mr. McNeece, and Mr. O’Brien of the Print Shop for their co- operation in the printing of the Trade Beaver, and to Mr. Plumb who took charge of year book sales. We also wish to express our appreciation to Mr. Wells, of the Art Department, for the expert work done on de- signing of title pages that helped to add color throughout the book, and also for the printing of the cover, by means of screen process. Various juniors also contributed to the success of the Trade Beaver: Raoul Lambert for designing the cover, Bruce Dobbs, John DiRosa, George Bregianes, John Locker- by, and John Turicello, for helping the advertising manager's to obtain the greatest amount of advertising the Trade Beaver has ever had; Leonard Hersh and John Lynch for timely editing of sports writeups, also many others who were willing to help when called upon. It was through their co-operation and help that we were able to complete our Year Book. We take this means of acknowledging our appreciation. Editor-in-Chief James Braica GIRLS LY V1S ON TEATRO REACD Ee Bile As Vile Student Council Ines DiLuzio Leo Lambert President Girls’ Council President Boys’ Council The members of the school council form the governing body of the Student As- sociation. Each department is represented on the council by one member for each fifteen students in the department, or fraction thereof not less than eight, and one additional member-at-large. Each department elects its own members. The officers of the council consist of a president, a vice-president, a secretary and a treasurer. The president, vice-president, and secretary are students while the treasurer is a member of the faculty. The council also has a faculty advisor. These officers are nominated by the council and elected by the vote of the whole Student Association. Some of the functions of the council are: 1. Financing Athletics. 2. Awarding letters, prizes or trophies. 3. Deciding matters of discipline affecting the honor of the school. 4. Serving as a higher court for traffic offenders. 5. Appointing members of the traffic squad. 6. Passing on all bills submitted for payment by the Student Association. 7. Investigating emergency cases that are deserving of financial assistance. 8. Visiting, and sending fruit to any sick or injured student or faculty member. 9. Editing and revising the school handbook, when necessary. 10.

One of the outstanding reasons for lack of friction and the continued smooth operation of Trade School is the excellent work performed throughout the school year by the traffic squad. This group does traffic work in the lunchroom, school corridors, locker rooms and around the school grounds. The squad is also on duty at all athletic events. The traffic squad consists of eighteen boys who are picked for this work by the squad’s officers. These officers consist of a captain, who is the direct head of the organi- zation, and two lieutenants. It is the duty of these boys to report infractions of school rules to the proper authorities and if it is deemed advisable cases are brought before the student council for trial. This year’s officers were Phillip LaFrance, captain; Leonard Tourville, lieutenant, group I; Arthur Craven, lieutenant, group II, first semester; and Donald Hough lieuten- ant, group II, second semester. The organization is under the faculty supervision of Mr. Walter Kehoe.

During the past year, the school paper, “The Craftsman,” had another very successful season. In earlier years, it was customary to discontinue issues of the paper during the months of March, April, and May, due to the fact that the Print Shop was busy print- ing the Year Book, and could not possibly print “The Craftsman.” (With the circum- stances the same, during the same months this year,) the paper was mimeographed by the Girls’ Division, put into booklet form, and bound with an attractive cover printed by means of screen process, by students of Mr. Wells’ Art Department. The Craftsman also underwent a change of faculty adviser. Mr. McGibney re- placing Mr. Hesse. This replacement enabled Mr. Hesse to devote more of his time as adviser of the “Trade Beaver.” Being members of the Western Massachusetts League of School Publications, members of the staff attended meetings of the League held in various cities. A year or so ago, at a meeting held in Huntington, Mass., a group of delegates from Trade, representing the Craftsman, brought up the idea of having a pin made with the League ensigni on it, and to give the pin to league members. A committee of three was appoint- ed to carry out this idea. Chosen as one of the three was James Braica, Editor of the Craftsman. A design was selected and pins made. A few members of the Craftsman staff obtained these pins which are very attractive. THE TRADE BEAVER Cheering Squad Adviser—Mr. Jensen Adviser—Mr. Hesse Captain—Ellsworth Bolles Charles Carder Gordan Salter Roger Tousignout Alfred Fecteau The cheering squad at Trade School is composed of five students. Each boy has a white sweater with a different letter so that when they are properly lined up they spell out T-R-A-D-E. This is the only squad in the city to have such an arrangement. The squad under the direction of Capt. “Tumbler” Bolles, has without any excep- tiuns, developed into one of the best cheering teams that Springfield high schools have ever seen. Last year the team was on an equal basis with the other four high schools in this city. But last year passed by, leaving to the school this year a real tumbling and cheering act, the same as you would see at a good college football game. The boys were turning flips in the air as if they had gone air minded. They were fighting, yelling, and succeeded in working up school spirit in the crowd so they too would cheer. “Give credit where credit is due,” is an old saying and should be followed out to the last syllable. Not many students in our school know who the faculty advisers are behind our highly-praised squad. The first member who deserves the credit for starting a cheering squad in Trade, and spent much of his time coaching our 1939 squad is Mr. Jensen. In previous years Mr. Jensen was carrying all the duties of a coach by himself. This year Mr. Hesse introduced and carried out the new idea of a tumbling class which held a meeting two or three nights a week in the Tech Gym. When the Trade student body saw Roger Tousignant throwing Bolles up in the air like a pancake while Carder, Salter, and Fecteau were throwing flips back and forth at each other, they couldn’t help but cheer for their dear old alma-mater.

The Indians lost no time launching their ground and air attack with Henry Skrzypek doing the heavy damage. Skrzypek paced his team with three of the four touchdowns scored. Captain Bourdeau, receiving a pass from Zewinski marched from Turners 25 yard line to chalk up the other score. The extra points were converted by Captain Bourdeau who, by the placement route, tallied 3 out of 4. A try for a fake punt by Trade failed when St. Peter stepped out of bounds behind his own goal line to score a safety for the Indians making the score 29-0. Middletown—20 Trade—7 The Trade eleven traveled to Middletown Connecticut to experience its second defeat of the season, the first under lights. In the opening plays of the game tne Trade eleven looked masterful but as the tide of the battle changed the Middletowners were the first to score after an exchange of punts. This put Trade in a spirit to fight back. After a few unsuccessful passes Joe Korbut, big Beaver halfback faded to his own five yard line to throw a pass to Al Farina on the twenty. From here Farina eluded tackler after tackler to bring the pig skin 80 yards for the first Trade touchdown of the year. The same combination was used for the extra point tieing the score 7-7. The ball changed hands many times in the third quarter with no one scoring. In the last quarter the Orange Men seemed to inhale an extra spark of power to overwhelm the local Beavers with two more touchdowns and an extra point. With the score at the end of an exciting game reading 20-7. Cathedral—34 Trade—0 The lowly Beavers were defeated by the strong Purple Gridmen by a score of 34-0. This was their first intercity start. The purple eleven trampled through the center of the Beaver line to score a total of 21 points during the first quarter. Herlihy, Bertelli, and Fortin were responsible for the touchdowns. Bertelli tallied the extra points via placement. The second quarter found Fran Keough advancing the ball 45 yards and after two plays, scoring the forth touchdown of the game, Bertelli’s kick failed. Score at half Cathedral 27, Trade 0. In the second half, Trade featured a series of threats with passes by Korbut and Farina. Considerable yardage was also gained by end runs. This all came to no avail, for a pass heaved by Farina was intercepted by Fortin who advanced the ball over the goal line. Trade again came back, only to find the ball remaining on the ten yard line at the final whistle. Final Score, Cathedral 24 Trade 0. Trade—26 Commerce—0 The Trade eleven won an impressive victory from the Red Raiders of Commerce 26-0. The Beaver linemen, playing better than in any previous game, punched the Commerce line at will for large gains. The first touchdown of the game, by Farina, was called back after an offside penalty. This only gave the Beavers more spirit and they succeeded in scoring at the beginning of the second quarter, with Korbut going over and St. Peter converting. Score at half, Trade 7 Commerce 0. In the second half Trade came back 2nd scored three times. This time St. Peter carried the ball over after a punt which was fumbled by Wilson of Commerce and re- covered by Corigliano of Trade. This time the kick was blocked bug was almost re- covered by Joe Korbut who was forced out on the one-yard line. A series of passes, Farina to Korbut and Korbut to Farina, set the stage for the third touchdown. Mitkow- ski raced around right end, with a burst of speed for twenty yards to score standing up. St. Peter’s kick was wide. The Red Raiders, trying to avoid a shut-out, let go pass after pass, one of which was intercepted by Korbut who ran it back 39 yards for the final score. A pass, Korbut to Parsons, was good for the extra point. Final score Trade 26, Commerce 0. Trade completed 7 out of 16 attempted passes while Commerce was able to complete only one. a vi We THE TRADE BEAVER Trade—13 Holyoke—0 The first Holyoke High team to appear in Springfield in five years, was beaten by a score of 13-0. Though the weather was dull and there was a slight mist a good deal of the time, a goodly crowd was on hand to watch Coach Jules Luchinis’ visiting com- bine. Joe Korbut’s 40-yard pass to Joseph Pieczarka, end, brought about the first Trade touchdown. Then in the final period Albert Farina bucked over from the one-yard line as the result of an 85-yard march that started late in the third quarter. This march was sparked by a 24-yard pass from Ed. Quinlan to the same boy who caught Korbut’s touchdown pass in the first quarter of play. Trade missed other touchdown chances, twice because of fumbled passes, which might be excused due to the slipperyness of the ball, and again when slow work on reverses, slowed down the Blue and Gold. Technicai—13 Trade—6 For three all but incredible periods Coach Ted Plumb’s hard bitten little brigade of Beavers stopped Tech offensive cold, outplayed the Tech defense and fought its way to a 6-0 lead. Trade’s touchdown came midway in the third quarter, when end Joe Pieczarka a sensational football player all afternoon blocked a kick attempted by Tech’s quarterback Clark, in the Tiger’s end zone and the other fast fighting end of Trade John Veremy recovered for the score. A kick for the point by St. Peter was wide. In the final chapter the Tigers after having their tails pulled around for three quarters by a strong Beaver team came back with a new and stronger offensive only to over power the Beavers who had given every ounce of power in them and were still pounding with what they had left. The old but still used Statue of Liberty play evened things up for Tech early in the forth period, halfback Tom McCarthy taking the pig-skin from Buckley started from Trade’s nine yard line and climaxed a 30-yard march. Rickson, Tech’s tackle, made good the placekick giving Tech an important 7-6 margin. Flem Cocci, Tiger end, intercepted a pass by Don St. Peter, Trade fullback on the Beaver 32-yard line and, after four plays advanced the ball to the 11, snagged a pass from Buckley a yard from the goal line and stepped over into payoff territory. The extra point by Tranghese was blocked as the whistle sounded to end the game. Trade—0 Classical—0 The Classical Bulldog gave the Trade Beaver a surprise November 10, when Trade School was held to a scoreless tie. A spectacular passing attack launched by Zannetti of Classical, in the first quarter, found Trade defending its goal at the ten yard stripe. But the Beavers woke up and cut short the Classical threat. The second quarter was a kicking duel between Al Webber of Classical, and Farina of Trade, the latter getting the edge of the tussle. The Trade team, aroused by Classi- cal’s stubborn battle in the first half, broke through the Classical line and advanced the ball from its own 40 to Classical’s 10 in two plays with Farina Carrying the ball and lateralling to Pieczarka. On three line plunges, Trade brought the ball to Classical’s one yard stripe but failed to penetrate Classical’s stubborn line for a score. Classical immediately kicked out of danger, but Trade with its superb razzle-dazzel, lateral attack again got into scoring position and once again was stopped by a fighting Clas- sical team. Only Al Webber’s brilliant kicking saved Classical from being scored upon. In the last quarter, Trade made another attempt to penetrate Classicai’s goal line for a score by launching a passing attack which was not successful. The game ended with the ball in the Beavers’ possession in Classical territory. Although Trade outplayed Classi- cal for three quarters of the game it lacked its scoring punch of the previous games with Commerce. Holyoke and Tech. The game ended in a scoreless tie. a BASKE T BALL Delite tht ALD ee bbe Aa i R Basketball Coach—Edward Plumb Captain—Francis Guz Back row, left to right: Coach, Ted Plumb; Edward Broska, Walter Dzwilewski, Joe Demerski, Dick Zannetti, Kenneth Parsons, asst. mgr.

The Beavers won the game by a score of 38 to 27. Joe Korbut, and Ed Dobecki starred for Trade, scoring 9 and 10 points respectively. Sydlo was the leading player for the Chicopee team. The skiptowners suffered a great loss when their Captain, Jaszek, was sent to the showers early in the third period. Coach Ted Plumb, using only nine men, kept his team out in front up until the gun sounded for the end of the game. Trade—42 Alumni—33 It must have been a treat for Coach Ted Plumb when he saw many of his former varsity Basketball Stars once again playing under a Trade School banner. This time, however they were playing to give the 1940 Varsity Team a beating. All the boys played their best, and showed clean sportmanship throughout the game. Joe Korkut led both teams in scoring, five floor goals and a pair of free tries. Dick Zanetti, a new mem- ber of our school, and Ed Dobecki were second, just 4 points behind Joe Korbut. Before the game was over, Ted Plumb used a grand total of 16 players. The former players who played for the Alumni were, Yachim Holochuck (Captain last year), Kuczynski and Rostowski. Holyoke Vocational—30 Trade—21 The Trade Beavers, havin g recently lost their star player Joseph Korbut, lost its first game of the season to a strong and impressive Holyoke Vocational team by the score of 30 to 21. One man on the Beavers actually sparkled, that was Tony Kwajewski, who collected a grand total of 11 points. Steve Ciolek was the leading scorer for Holyoke with a total of 9 points. The game was anybody’s game up until the last few minutes of play. At the half the score was dead locked 8 to 8. At the start of the 8rd period Captain Mike Guz sank a neat foul shot to put the Beavers ahead 9 to 8. This sparked the always-fighting Holyoke squad to a furious pace, and they quickly overcame the Beavers’ slight margin. At the end of the 38rd period the Papertown team led by the score of 19 to 13. At the beginning of the 4th period the Holyoke team surged ahead with 3 baskets and 1 foul shot. The Beavers tried hard, with Zannetti, Broska, and Kwajewski getting tallies in the closing minutes of play, but they could not over- come the lead the Holyoke Vocational held. At the end of the game the score board read: Holyoke Vocational—30 Springfield Trade—21. Classical—39 Trade—34 Opening another inter-city season Trade School a strong favorite, suffered its biggest upset, when it was defeated by Classical High School. The sharp-shooting of Fred Zanetti, ace of the Bulldogs, collected a total of 16 points. Fred Zanetti often was the only classical player to keep the Beavers from taking the lead. Tony Kwajewski, Trade’s leading scorer, though well blocked, managed to collect a total of 11 points. Tehan and Panetta sparked the Classical defence. Dick Zanetti carried the burden defensively for Trade until he was ejected early in the 4th period for committing his 4th personal foul. Panetta, of the Bulldogs, also went out by the same route. Jackson and Panetta evenly divided 16 points, while Zanetti and Dzwilewski scored 13 points together. Cathedral—27 Trade—23 The Trade Beavers suffered their 3rd loss of the season, and their 2nd city league loss to the Panthers of Cathedral by a score of 27 to 23. The Beavers rrom the opening tap-off soundly outplayed the Panthers and led in the scoring all the way, until the last minutes of the first half. After Fran Haley sparked the Beavers with his nicely-timed basket at the beginning of the second quarter, the Cathedral Panthers began to close the gap in the score and with a few minutes of the first half remaining, Conelly of Cathedral tied the score at 15 all for a portion of the third period until Cathedral made 2 baskets to put them ahead 19 to 15. As the fans began to think the game was DEC Gea Gee De AV Lely going to be a walk-away, Tony Kwajewski, the Beavers’ star, flashed by the Cathedral defence to register 2 baskets and again dead lock the score. The Beavers could not withstand the pace Cathedral was getting, and in the last period the Panthers forged out in front 27 to 20. The Beavers, trying hard to overcome the Cathedral lead, had a hard setback when Dick Zanetti after committing 4 personal fouls was sent to the show- ers. In the last few minutes of play the Cathedral Panthers were in the process of freezing the ball, Dzwilewski, on a neat follow up and a foul shot, collected 3 more points; this brought the score to 27-23. The Panthers continued freezing the ball and the Beavers to no avail kept trying to get it, the ball was still in the Panthers’ hands when the gun sounded to end the game wih Cathedral winning 27 to 23. Trade—28 Commerce—23 Coming back after three straight defeats, Trade turned back a strong Commerce combine 28 to 23. Tony Kwajewski, Ed Dobecki and Walt Dzwilewski p roduced a total of 8 points in the first period. Trade then led 8 to 3. The Crimsou Raiders quickly overtook the Beavers and soon the score was 13 to 13. A basket by Dzwilewski put the Beavers ahead by a margin of 15 to 18. This remained to be the score at the half. Trade held the Crimson to one basket while they scored 7 points in the third period. Commerce then put on the pressure by making the score 22 to 19. The Beavers stopped the Crimson rush and managed to collect 6 more points. When the final gun went off the score was 28 to23. Kwajewski led the scoring for the Beavers with 10 points. Langone scored 6 points to top the scoring column for the Crimson. Trade—35 Holyoke Vocational—9 Playing the seventh game of the season, the Trade Beavers handed the Holyoke Vocationals a lacing, after being defeated by them early in January. The score totaled 35 to 9 at the end of the game. This, no doubt was one of the biggest trouncings that that any high high school has met with this year. Trade School visiting basketeers gave a classy exhibition and the Holyoke squad was unable at any time to break through the Trade defence. At the half, Springfield was leading by the overwhelming score of 21 to 1. A foul by O’Connor in the opening quarter saved the Holyokers from a shutout. It wasn’t until the middle of the third period that Vocational registered its first basket of the game. At the opening of the final stanza, Trade had a 30 to 5 margin. Paving the way for the one-sided victory was Tony Kwajewski, sharpshooting for- ward, who clicked with five fields goals. Captain Mike Guz accounted for five points and Ed Dobecki came through with three shots from the surface. The Beavers presented a shifty formation and outguessed Vocational from start to finish. Trade—32 Technical—31 In a brilliant display of basketball seldom matched in any city league game, a fast Trade School quintet turned back a stubborn Tech team, in a thrilling over time period by the score of 32-31. In the first minute of play, Tech scored a basket to put them in a quick lead, 2-0. Tony Kwajewski, attaining his rapid basketball stride scored two fast hoops and put the Beavers into the lead. Before the first period was over, the Beavers had colleced 4 more points. The period closed with the Tigers tailing the Beavers 8 to 4. The second period found both teams battling point for point. In the closing minutes of the first half, with Trade behind 1 point. Dick Zanetti made a basket, once more putting the Tradesman ahead 16 to 15, as the half ended. Tech opened the third period with a basket, and this was equaled by Dzwilewski. Tech widened their margin to three points on a basket to take a 21 to 20 lead. Dobecki then deadlocked the score again, with a foul. Fouls by Doane and Black gave the Tigers a two-point lead. Two baskets by Tony Kwajewski gave the Beavers a 25-23 lead as the third period ended. Tech quickly tied the score, but a basket by Zanetti gave the Beavers the lead again. In the last minutes of play a basket by Dobecki widened Trade’s margin. Tech then gathered 3 points but was still trailing as time was running out. Kwajewski then drew THE TRADE BEAVER a foul which he made. Nunnelly of Tech sank a foul but Tech still trailed by one point. After the highly intense crowd had been quieted, Demerski sank his foul. Trade then led by two points and with about thirty seconds to play, Bill Adams of Tech tied the score and sent the game into over-time with a basket. The slippery fingers of both teams let the ball fly from all angles of the floor in the overtime, but a foul by Mike Guz, Trade’s captain sealed the verdict for the Beavers. Chicopee—27 Trade—22 The fast Chicopee High School combine, in a hard fought basketball game, evened the series with the Trade Hoopsters after suffering a setback at the skiptown earlier in the season. The final score of the game was Chicopee 27, Trade 22. In the first period every basket which was made by one team was matched by the other team, This point for point duel continued in the second period until the last few minutes of play, when the Tradesman took the lead and left the floor at the half leading 18 to 13. This 5 point margin seemed like an important lead at the end of the half, but the fast and furious skiptowners sparked from an unknown source, quickly overtook the Beavers, and in the first few minutes of the 3rd period had contacted the hoop for 6 points and the lead of the ball game. At this stage of the game, when he was needed most, Trade’s sparkplug, Tony Kwajewski was forced to withdraw from action after commit- ing his fourth personal foul. Before leaving the game Kwajewski, on a neat shot from under the hoop, sent the ball sailing through the hoop and again gave Trade the lead. At the start of the last period Chicopee was leading at 22 to 20. During the remainder of the game the skiptowners held the lead and when the roar of the timers gun re- sounded throughout the gym to end the game, the Beavers were on the short end of 27-22 score. Trade—41 Classical—39 Winning its second straight city league game in an over time period, a fast Trade quintet turned back a stubborn Classical Bulldog 41-39. Tony Kwajewski of Trade started the scoring and was quickly followed with baskets by Demerski, Dzwileski, and Dick Zanetti of the Beavers. Trade led 14-9 at the end of the first period. Kwajewski, the Beavers spark-plug, helped Trade draw away to a comfortable 23-13 lead with three double-deckers at the mid-way mark. Herring sank three baskets for Classical and reduced the Beavers’ lead to 5 points as Trade led 33-28 at the end of the third period. Jackson of Classical opened the final period by producing a basket. Kwajewski and Dobecki quickly widened the Beavers’ lead once more on two quick baskets. Fred Zanette of Classical then sank a foul and Jackson added another basket and cut Trade’s lead to four points with only 2% minutes to play. Captain Guz sank a foul for Trad e, but this was quickly overcome on successful free tries by Fred Zanetti and Panetta of Classical. Panetta sank a set shot and Classical was trailing by only one point as the fourth period was drawing to a close. Kwajewski again widened Trade’s margin on a gift shot. Jackson on a disputed basket sent the game into an overtime. Ed Dobecki, at 1:02 of the overtime period sank a basket and gave Trade a 41-39 “sudden death” victory. Kwajewski and Dobecki together gathered 21 points to lead the Trade offense. Jackson and Fred Zanetti of Classical divided an even 25 points between themselves. This was Trade’s sixth victory of the season. Cathedral—25 Trade—21 In a very important city league game, which would mean an almost certain cham- pionship for Cathedral and which would eliminate almost every possible chance at the championship for Trade, a snarling group of Panthers downed a stubborn pack of Beavers by a score of 25 to 21. The scoring opened a minute after the tap off when Tony Kwajewski approached the Beavers’ hoop and quickly parted the strings. While doing so he was fouled by a Cathedral player and was given a free try which he made good. This gave Trade a 3-0 lead. The Tradesmen tried to hold the lead, but on two quick baskets by Cathedral were trailing by one point. The Panthers rang up two more bas- TG els A DD Eee DE Ane Re kets and as the first quarter ended held an 8-3 lead. Demerski and Dzwilski paired to- gether and cut Cathedral’s lead to 1 point. A basket by Martin plus two Panther gift shots gave Cathedral a 5 point lead. Demerski closed the scvring for the first half with a basket. The score stood at 12-9 in favor of Cathedral when both teams left the floor at the halfway mark. In the opening plays of the third quarter Cathedral doubled Trade’s score on 3 consecutive baskets. Zanetti, Kwajewski, and Dzwileski conjured up 7 points, to leave the Beavers only 2 points behind. The Panthers added 3 points and led by a 21-16 score as the gun went off, closing the third period. Trade drew to within 1 point of Cathedral on 2 quick baskets by Tony Kwajewski at the start of the final period. Martin, of Cathedral, was then ejected for committing his fourth personal foul. Lynch who replaced Martin, scored on an under the hoop shot and Cathedral drew away to a 23-20 lead. Walt Dzwilewski sank a charity toss and Trade was trailing by only 2 points. Connelly of Cathedral scored his third basket of the game as the final gun sounded, ending one of the roughest and most exciting city league games of the season. Trade ended on the short end of a 25-21 score. Commerce—40 Trade—37 Suffering its second straight city league defeat and fourth defeat in the city league this season, a strong Beaver quintet was upset by an underestimated Crimson five, 40-37. Commerce, early in the game, obtained the lead and was never headed through- out. Tony Kwajewski, of Trade, put on a one-man show by scoring 8 baskets and sinking 7 charity shots, for a total of 23 points, but Kwajewski’s vain effort failed to win a victory. Harrington and Connors led the Crimson attack with 12 and 10 points respectively. In the first period each team reached double figures with Trade trailing 13-12. As the quarter ended, Commerce slowly drew away and at the half-way mark led 23-17. In a nip and tuck third quarter each team scored an even ten points but the Crimson held a 6 point advantage over the Beaver quintet as the gun went off ending the third period. Trade put on all the pressure they could in the fourth period, but it was not quite enough and as the final gun went off Trade was on the short end of a 40-37 score. Westfield Trade—39 Springfield Trade—23 A highly talented Whip City combine under the reins of Joe Jachym defeated our local Beavers 39 to 23. The battle was nip and tuck for the first half with both teams ending in a 14 to 14 deadlock. Westfield pulled away to a 5-point lead as the third period ended. The local Beavers were completely outplayed in the fourth period and when the teams left the floor, as the game ended, the score read 39 to 23 in favor of Westfield. Skmiste, of Westfield, and Kwajewski, of Springfield, were the only players to reach double figures with 13 and 12 points respectively. Bieda of the Whip City played an excellent floor game while scoring 8 points. Chlastawa and Taraska of the Whip City and Dobieki of the local combine each tallied 3 baskets and 1 foul for a total of 7 points apiece to keep both teams in the running. Westfield Trade—35 Springfield Trade—28 Winning its second straight game from Springfield Trade, the Westfield Trade combine won its twelfth game of the season by a 385 to 28 score. The Whip City “ hoopsters started scoring from the opening tap off, and as the first quarter ended had an eight-point lead. The local Beavers played almost point for point in the second period and as mid-way was approached the score was 24-14. Both teams battled point for point again in the third and fourth periods with Westfield never losing the lead but being outscored 14-11 in the second half. Tony Kwajewski and Ed Dobieki featured Trade’s offense with a total of 18 points between them. Chlastawa and Bieda scored 21 of Westfield’s 35 points. THE TRADE BEAVER Technical—34 Trade—31 Ending a spectacular season but losing their fifth straight game, a stubborn Trade Beaver was turned back by a hungry Tech Tiger 34 to 31. This game enabled Tech to tie Cathedral for the city title. From the opening tap-off, until the end of the game, both teams were deadlocked many times in the score. The first period ended with the score tied 4 to 4. At the start of the second period Tech took the lead by a few points, and held onto it until the end of the half. At the half the score was 17-13; in favor of Tech. Both teams were fighting hard to obtain a substantial lead at the start of the 8rd period. Baskets by Dobieki and Dzwilewski of Trade knotted the score at 19 all. A basket made by each squad found them deadlocked at 21 to 21. Quick baskets by Dobieki and Kwajewski gave the Beavers a four point advantage. This four point lead was quickly overcome by the Tigers as they led at the end of the 38rd period 26 to 25. Tony Kwajewski made a sparkling basket for the Trademen to return the lead to the Beavers. This was however the last time the Beavers were to hold command of the score. A basket barrage netting the Tigers 6 points, and a free try by Dobieki of Trade made the score mount, in Tech’s favor, 32 to 28. A free toss was made by a Beaver, followed by a basket made by Tech. This ended Tech’s scoring for the day. The Trade forward, Tony Kwajewski, closed the scoring for the Beavers on his basket, and as the gun resounded through- out the gym, to end the battle, Tech held the advantage by a 34 to 31 score.

Capt. Varzeas and Dias scored the only two goals for the Beavers in the second quarter, Cathedral threatened time and time again but with Galas at goal the Panthers could not score. Trade—0 Commerce—0 The Beavers, playing their second game of the season, at Blunt Park, fought a hard battle with the Commerce business men, only to result in a scoreless tie. Both teams threatened often but neither could muster a scoring punch when deep in foreign territory. Trade—0 Holyoke—0 With a slump in scoring ability, the Beaver clan played another scoreless tie with Holyoke Vocational. This was the second tie in succession that the Springfield team played. A very good game was played by all members of both teams, the Beavers showed improvement in their pass work. Ludlow—2 Trade—1 Altho the Trade Beavers lost to Ludlow (who incidently won the Western Mass. Soccer crown) they put up one of the best fights that the Ludlow team met with all season. The score in the latter part of the game was 1-1. A penalty goal broke the tie, leaving Ludlow out front for the remainder of the game. Trade—2 Classical—1 For its third game of intercity competition the Beavers met with a strong Classical team at Forest park, setting them back by a 2-1 defeat. Varzeas and Bajorek led the Trade attack with Bongiovanni getting the lone tally for Classical. Trade—3 Cathedral—0 The Beavers took their second win from Cathedral by whitewashing them 3-0. This game was not so hard to put over as the first game with the Panthers because the vic- tors were really playing ball. They went out to win and they won. This is the kind of ball their coach Ed. McGibney had taught them to play. Trade—1 Technical—0 The soccer team squeezed into first place in the Interschool Soccer League by de- feating Tech 1-0, at Blunt Park. Distefano headed the ball through the post on a corner kick by Varzeas for the lone goal of the game. This was one of the best plays that worked throughout the season. Trade—4 Holyoke—0 After playing the first game with Holyoke Vocational to the tune of a scoreless tie, the Beavers came back to trounce the same team by the score of 4 to 0. The game was played at Holyoke, on Soldiers Field. Trade’s first goal came on Kawrylciw’s success-. ful penalty kick, and Bajorek scored the other three points. Trade—4 Commerce—1 The first Trade-Commerce game ended in a scoreless tie the same as the Holyoke game, with the second Commerce game ending almost the same as the second Hol- yoke game 4-1. Hawryleiw and Varzeas leading the attack with a pair of goals each, took the crimson “Ex-raiders” at Forest Park. Jarish tallied for the losers. Trade—2 Classical—0 On a cold November day the Beavers traveled to blunt Park to turn back Classical 2-0. This did not mean just another win for the Beavers but it meant that they had captured another city soccer championship, as they had in the previous year. Steve Hawryleiw and Johnny Dias scored the Beavers’ goals while holding the Blue and White at bay. Trade—2 Technical—0 Having the championship safely tucked away, the Beavers won their seventh straight victory by defeating Tech 2-0. Johnny Dias played a splended game, scoring both Beaver goals. This was a splended way to end the soccer season. We are highly in- debted to the champs for adding another glory to the name of Trade School. INNS L.CHARTIER JR.

Trade started the season on the short end of a 4 to 1 score administered by Cathedral. In the next game Trade beat the Crimson Raiders. of Commerce, by a score of 3 to 1. They were then blanked 6 to 0, by both Tech and Classical. In the next contest they were snowed under by Cathedral, for the second time, by a score of 5 to 1. Commerce then revenged themselves for their early season setback, beating the Beavers 4 to 2. For the second straight time Tech and Classical both beat Trade by shut-outs. These were the third and fourth white-washings of the season for the Beavers. Captain Bolles, and Elkin played good tennis for the Beavers. Bolles defeated Rubinoff, Commerce number one man, in Trade’s only victory of its campaign. Although the Beavers were outplayed, they never lost any of their school spirit in putting up the hardest kind of a battle they possibly could. L.CHARTIER JR.

Worcester Trade—7 Trade—2 Traveling for the first time this season, Springfield Trade was defeated, at a private golf course near Holy Cross College to the tune of 7 to 2. Worcester Trade was re- taliating for their defeat suffered early in the season at the Franconia Golf course by our own Trade boys. Eight boys made the trip, and when they arrived Worcester was using a six man team, so Polypow and Haley played the two coaches from the two schools. This match was won by Haley and Polypow. Trade—8l, Classical—3 4 The Trade Beavers made the Classical Bulldogs retreat for the second straight time this season, but this time by the score of 814 to 34%.

The machine shop basketball team won the shop championship by defeating the hard fighting “Red Devils” of the Electric shop. The rivalry of the two shops filled the league games with color, both teams having many followers. The Machinists came through with an undefeated season winning all games by wide margins. On the other hand the Electricians lost only two games, both to the Machine shop. The Machine shop quintet was led by leading scorer Captain Henry Kielbania, who worked well with Ed Kielbania and Steven Romanko. The captain and also one of the leading scorers of the league was Dick Meany of the Electric department who was supported by Ray Varanka, Gerry O’Melia, Ray Coughlin and Carlo Corigliano.
