The code under which they serve was established many years ago. TRADE SCH@@e 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 per- sonalities, 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. DEDICATION We the pupils, of the class of 1943, fer- vently dedicate this yearbook to the pupils, the alumni, and the faculty members of the Springfield Trade School who are serving our country on the far flung battle fronts of the world today. To you we owe a heartfelt debt of gratitude for protecting and preserv- ing us, our homes, and our loved ones, and our American way of life.

Drafting is a profes- sion that most all other trades depend on. Whenever a building or machine is being made, the first thing looked for is a complete set of blueprints. These prints must show what the finished product will consist of. The students of the drafting depart- ment are being taught just this. They are taught to lay out the plan on paper very neatly and accurately in every detail. They are taught the different methods of tracing these drawings so that a neat blueprint can be made. The drafting course also consists of the making of blueprints.

In the Millinery and Novelty course, individual talents, original ideas and design are given a free means of expression. At the beginning of this course new stitches through illustra- tion are learned, unknown to us before studying millinery. These are used in many practical applications. The first year consists mainly of stitches, steaming and blocking, simple renovations, and making of novelties. Ample opportunity is given in class for free discussion of line, color, harmony, and workmanship. During the second year the preliminaries of the training are over and the girls take pride in their ability to copy and make a hat from a picture or one seen in a store window.

SETTLE STEIN vr TRADE @ BEAVER MULTI-OCCUPATIONS The Multi-Occupations course was first inaugurated in May, 1934, at the request of employers who felt that such pre-employ- ment training should be given to train girls and women for specific UY industrial tasks. The units of work in this class are organized to meet the current demand and are changed or eliminated according to the needs of industry, as well as offering new units of work in line with industrial changes. This course serves two purposes: It serves first as a selective process for industries, sifting out those who pss, 5 Ct are not fitted for this type of work, and secondly it gives preliminary training in work similar to shop requirements and gives a sampling of shop methods.

SMR DEUS TSE Az TRADE @ BEAVER a PRINT The Print Department is designed to instruct its students in all the operations of a printing plant, from layout of the job to wrapping it up. There are many different jobs for which young men can be trained such as pressman, paper cutters, type setting machine operator, and compositor. Every business concern is a user of printing. Factory forms, office stationery, labels, business cards, advertising material, and books and pamphlets are liberally used by today’s modern business firms. Before the war printing led the business world in the United States. It em- ployed more people than the steel, automobile or the moving picture industries. Trade School is having no trouble placing its good printing pupils in the trade. ee TRADE @ BEAVER ve SGUMBSRN ESTAS?

Well trained operators may find employment in any of its specialized branches. To make a complete garment by machine without the aid of basting and pinning is a task for those who have intelli- gence enough to use judgment, and to possess manipula- tive skill to handle all kinds of materials. An operator must use his eyes, hands, and foot in perfect unison in order to stitch straight and evenly. Head work and hand work are essential at all times. Slip covers, overdraperies, couch covers, and curtains are all part of the advanced power stitching classes.

On this occasion the songs of many of the Allies in the United Nations group were sung. Mrs. Marion P. Coleman of the girls’ division acted as accompanist for the glee clubs.

WHO TEACHES WHOM One of the year’s highlights at Trade was a visit by Mr. Fook Tim Chan, an educator from China, who spent some time at Trade as a visiting teacher. This congenial man carried with him a contagious attitude of quiet, joyous dignity. The picture taken in the girls’ foods department, Miss Elizabeth Harvey, instructor, is evidence of the good time being had by teacher and pupil alike. While at Trade Mr. Fook Tim Chan made the statement that when he first arrived in America he feared we were preparing for combat with all the implements we used in setting a table. To him a pair of chop sticks sufficed. He also stated sincerely that the most delicious and best served meal he had since arriving in America was enjoyed in Trade’s Tea room. This is not surprising to the girls whose fingers so often dipped into Miss Harvey’s preparations.

Many parts of the costumes were brought in by the girls, some of which were made in Poland.

TRADE @ AC oO CRAFTSMAN STAFF The girls’ division of the school has been more active this year than in the past on the “Craftsman,” Trade School’s paper. Many articles, special features, and columns have been published under the advisership of Miss J. Eleanor Johnson. The Staff was headed during the year by Clyde MacDonald and later by John Carter as editor-in-chief. Boys from the print department usually make up the bulk of the staff due to their mechanical knowledge of producing the paper, and this year proved no exception. The “Craftsman” retained its membership in the Western Massachusetts League of School Publications and iis staff attended the League conventions.

Sip EET TRADE @ BEAVER we AIRPLANE CLUB When the army called for model planes Trade boys went to work with real zeal. Tables were moved into the library and wooden models constructed. These models were then used by airplane spotters and by the army and navy personnel to enable them to learn to identify different types of fighters and bombers. In this project model planes of our enemies as well as our allies and our own had to be constructed with exacting detail. Mr. Padfield and Mr. Monson had charge of the organization and management of this project. It was only one of the many, many ways that Trade School has backed up the war effort. — A TRADE @ BEAVER ——=£ CLASS HISTORY On a bright, clear, fall morning of 1940, a group of young and eager boys and girls, with their faces aglow trouped into the new Springfield Trade School on State St. Here they were to start a learning far different from any they had ever had before. They were the first freshmen class in the history of the new Trade School. The first few weeks were spent in getting acquainted with the school and the teachers. This also led to new friendships with other students. The new freshies found their work here different because it consisted of half related and half shop work. It didn’t take long, however, to get used to the routine because they felt at home with the friendly cooperation of their teachers and fellow students. Our freshmen year went very swiftly and before we knew it we were juniors. Our Junior Class was late in getting started but turned out to be very successful. Our elec ted officers were: President, Hal Minney; Vice President, Doris Whitworth; Secretary, Jean Bednarz and Treasurer, Attilio Bianchi, with Miss Mazzachelli and Mr. Padfield as junior class advisers. We held a very successful Junior Class dance where the juniors got acquainted, (and still haven’t broken friendships that were made at the dance.) As in the classes before, in Trade, our boys have been outstanding in their athletic abilities. With many boys like Harold Minney, Marino Martini, Charlie Santos, Edward Bailans, Stanley Strycharz, and many others, we could not help but have splendid athletic showings. In 41-42 our boys were very successful. The football squad broke even, the soccer team won their 4th successful city title and for two consecutive years have won the all Western Mass. title. Our hockey team won all but one game which was lost to Tech. The basket-ball team broke even also. Chris Jensen, who returned to Trade this year to coach baseball, took coach McGibbney’s place, who entered the service some time ago. Under the direction of Mr. Schuler the Glee Club proved highly successful. (Even though he nearly had a nervous breakdown two or three times.) Our boys Glee Club moved its audience very much at their Armistice Day assembly. Both Glee Clubs proved quite successful in the Christmas Day Assembly. The men teachers under the direction of Mr. Spence put on an interesting and humorous skit called the “Tramps Convention.” In coming back to school this fall we found many changes in our school due to the war. The government had taken over the airplane, radio and other shops. Due to this many men and women are coming here to learn defense work so that they could go out and get a job to help keep the wheels of democracy turning and the people of America free. The Trade students pitched right in and helped all they could. Even the girls in Millinery were making defense hats for people working at the Springfield Armory and other defense plants. Well at last the great day came. We were to begin our 3rd and final year at Trade. We were Seniors. We elected officers for the first time much the same as city elections are held. Elected officers were as follows: President, Charles Santos Vice President, Anna May Secretary, Edward Tippett Acting Secretary, Shirley Gaudette Treasurer, Ernest Lavallee ———eee A TRADE O BEAR —_ CLASS HISTORY (Continued) Acting Treasurer, Harriet Crawford Marshalls, Ralph Pallentino, Irene Coupas, Pat Yacavoni, and Gerard Boulrice. After elections our officers went about planning social and sport activities. As results we had a very successful Sadie Hawkins Dance, a yearly event at Trade where the girl goes after her Lil’ Abner. But because of the epidemic of Scarlet Fever we had to postpone many of our social gatherings after this. However we did have a very successful skating party at the Rialto Skating Rink on March 3rd, 1943, which 81 students attended. As the spring of 1943 moved onward the seniors grew very restless, for they had been looking forward to the senior banquet, prom and graduation. After which we wi ll go out into the different fields of industry for which we are fitted. As Graduation approached we seniors feel quite sad for many of the boys, our classmates, would also be graduating if they were not helping Uncle Sam in the Armed Forces in various parts of the world, and to these boys we say that Trade will welcome you back in her good old way and— In future years we'll all be known, Like Astor, Ford, and Nero or Rome, We'll all be working at the Trades we love, And thank the One from heaven above, That He had made it possible for us, To have this school of Trades and trust, So the Senior class of 743 Leave you with a reality, He that hath a trade hath an estate And is worth more gold than all his weight.

Beginning with a class of twenty pupils, meeting once a week for twelve weeks under the direction of Mrs. Blanche J. Burke, the work has been continued at the Trade School. Forty pupils received certificates in 1927 and the number has increased every year. Now every pupil of the Girls’ Division at Trade School takes a Home Nursing Course, followed by a First Aid Course. These awards at the completion of this school year will total 2600. The courses are found not only valuable at home, but girls and women going into industry have found their instruction ex- tremely helpful. TS TRADE @ BEAVER 3 oye CLASS PROPHECY A group of senior students received an invitation to visit the newly-built West- over Field. When we approached the field two officers came forward and offered us a ride in their new clipper ship. As we took off John Dalton, a senior, was left on the ground. We could not turn back so we continued on our trip. As we were flying the clouds began to darken, all of a sudden it started to rain, and lightning seemed to be coming toward us. We all closed our eyes to forget what was happen- ing. When we opened our eyes we saw that we were in a city above the clouds. Asking a man where we were, he told us we were in the year of 1963. We then started our tour through this beautiful city. As we crossed the park- way we saw children playing in the sunlit parks, and people walking around as if they didn’t have any worries at all. At a nearby bench I noticed the park workers planting flowers while another was painting the bench. We later recognized one as George Heirshe hard at work. We then walked toward a big, beautiful building which we saw was designed by Menas Kalagian, now a well-known architect. Enter- ing the building we saw a couple of guides coming towards us, one of whom we recognized as Maurice Wilcox. We then noticed exquisite light affects with different colors. A new lighting system was being installed. by Fay Arthur, Robert Hunter, Allan Markman, Kenneth Olds, and David Simon, now electricians for Piligian Hosepian Inc. We then took a stroll through the park and there we saw two nursemaids taking care of some children. They were Janet Quici and Lillian Fontaine working for a millionaire. By now we were getting hungry so we stepped into a small tearoom called the “Shady Nook.” We were greeted by Stella Bulat, the hostess, who introduced us to the owner Marjorie Query. We were served a very delicious meal, our waitress being Cieplik. Other waitresses there were Arlene Cole and Mary Palazzo. As we left the tearoom we saw some very attractive hats which were displayed in the Hatsy Top Hat Shop. Upon entering it we found Shirley Gaudette and Irene Lepczynski as proprietors. Anna May and Christine Misico were modeling hats which were designed by Mary Restanio and Clara Paterakis. We were leaving as Valerie Dupre and Evelyn Barroni were selling hats to Jean Bednarz and Theresa Lemieux, who were by now heiresses. Then we walked down the boulevard and came upon a beautifully constructed dress shop which was made by Monog Donigan, as instructor, and Caurelio Corestra, John Dabrowski, and Joseph Kaplan from Trade’s cabinet shop. We looked into the spacious window and saw Delia Villiamaino selling a very rare and almost priceless piece of silk to Ruth Herbert with her two children. Theresa Santenello was fitting gowns to Gloria Pearson and Sophie Siborowski who were now singing with the Olive Shermans Orchestra. Near the tearoom was a “Busy Bee Bakery.” Verna Loerke greeted us and showed us around. To our surprise we saw Claudia Williamson decorating a wed- ding cake for Marion Gendron and Joseph Giannini who were to be married shortly. Ann Reindeau, Thelma DeBlois, and Helen Pescetta were busy making cookies for Irene Coupas’s birthday party. After lunch we went to the airport to see the Orchard Clipper which cime from the South. As the passengers got off we recognized Clyde McDonald, star reporter, and Mathew Kulungian, photographer, for William O’Brien’s paper. They told us that Edward Bailans had made the all star baseball team. We then saw the new line up for the 1963 Basketball team. Capt. Stanley Strycharz, with success- ful players Frank Izzo, Marino Martini, Harold Minney and Fred Wonsek. All were in good training for next season, CRA ELE COTTER TRADE @ BEAVER on DRT a CLASS PROPHECY (Continued) Across the airport was the Newport News, chief editor Edward Tippett with Charles Ghedi and Cosino Longo busy in the press room. Across from the Airport we saw a big sign which read “Alice Charpentier, State Supervisor of Vocational Home Education.” As we entered the room we were greeted by Alice herself. We asked how our old school chums of the Voca- tional Home Department were making out, and she told us that Yolanda Fratamico had just completed modeling and designing her own home, that Lillian Fontaine was married, and had taken an apartment that she herself had furnished; Marjorie Johnson was married and was still trying to bake a cake the way Miss Harvey had taught her years ago. Alice also told us that Mary Pugliano had married the sailor she used to talk about, and last but not least was Janet Quici who had been married for seven years now and she had a little boy aged two. Alice asked us to stay awhile longer, but we had many more visits to make before the day was through. The guide then asked us if we would like to see the testing of a new type carplane which was designed by Phillip Bronner with Ernest Lavallee and Ralph Pallatino as test pilots. At the field we noticed many familiar faces. Nello Burham was trying to get the attention of Valerie Dupre. Ralph Pallatino was trying to date Michelina Laino. As the crowd gathered the testing of the new plane started. After a few testing stunts the plane came to a safe landing; all had been successful. We were asked if we would like to see the making of this carplane. We all accepted, gladly. We first started in the Draft room where we saw George Ekmalian, Thomas Gamble, Rudolph Gardzienski, Alfred St. Onge, and Bernard Zayons who were all working for Phillip Bronner. We crossed the court yard to the machine shop where the parts and tools for the carplane were being made. The men behind the machines were Anthony Adamski, Fred Courtney, Alfred Duca, Donald Driscoll, Ray Fountain, William Lawenchik, Peter Longo, Primo Soudellare, Harlin Sibalt working for the Vecchiarelle Machine Shop. Our next stop was to see the assembling of the carplane. Putting the parts together were Udi Russo, Wilfred Couture and George (Mr.) Palligati working for the Pat Yacovone Auto Works. Doing the welding work were Gorden Barher, Stephan Bryda, Elliot Buxton, Quinto Cimma, Guido Debonis, John Falvey, Allen Jenne, Ian Joyce, Anthony Mazzarino and foreman Louis Pegoraro. In a nearby room many of the fellows we knew were hard at work. They were Bernard Cawley, Edward Pepe, and Raoul Ricard, working in a newly built pattern shop. As we were leaving the building we noticed a fellow inspecting the wings and body of the plane. Who should it be but William Drew, now chief inspector of the plant. We all enjoyed the tour and thanked the guide for such an enjoyable visit. As we were drifting along our eyes fell on a sign which read Beauty Salon, proprietor Rita Beauchemin. In entering we were surprised to see so many of our classmates. We were greeted by Lorraine Freeman, receptionist, and Philomena DiPratrola, Florence Frasco, Yvette Caron and Frances Mayberry, operators. While looking around the shop who should we find but Ruth Hannigan who is now a styles instructor. While talking with them we learned that both Jeanette Taddei and Marion Gendron have opened up a shop of their own and as operators. Jean has employed both Harriet Crawford and Mary Patterson. As a last bit of gossip we have learned that Dorothy Mann is now working in one of the large and well known stores as a demonstrator. It was getting late so we thought we would go to a night club. Our guide told us the best was at Silver Lake. He also told us the only way we could reach WERNER a TRADE @ BEAVER x DREDGE SIS SNS CLASS PROPHECY (Continued) it was by boat. This club was designed and decorated by its owners, Menas Kal- agian was one of them. As we approached the lake a small boat picked us up. From the shore the club looked like a silver cloud. The building was made of glass, with sliding roof and open terrace gardens. As we came near to the club we could see the moon shining on this glass building which reflected it into the water. The boat landed at a small dock and we had to climb two flights of stairs to the top. On each side of the steps were small trees, flowers and grass. We walked into the main floor and were greeted by two hostesses. One took our hats and the other took us to our table. We recognized them to be Stella Poulopoulos and Loretta Major. She took us to the star room. This room didn’t have a roof and the side wall was slid back and we could see the lake and the stars, the floor was all glass and fishes could be seen swimming around underneath. The wall of the night club had gay murals which we recognized to be done by Gerald Boulrice and Edward O’Neil, his assistant. We were all enchanted by the beauty of this place and we pinched ourselves to see if we were dreaming. The orchestra was the Silver Troupeteurs with Avelino Santos the leader. The vocalists were John Rock and Alice Brown. The master of ceremonies was Ralph Searra and announcer was Louis Marino. After the floor show every one started to dance. While dancing we noticed Ernest Lavallee and Harriet Crawford and Mr. and Mrs. Francis Ekmalian. After dancing a few numbers we noticed at a nearby table we were glad to see Anna May, Charles Santos and Stanley Strycharz having a swell time but we couldn’t figure which was the champion. Later we took a walk through the fish garden and at the moon we saw Mary Restaino but we didn’t recognize the fellow she was with. After returning to our table we saw coming to see us Eleanor Phillips, one of our classmates. We were surprised to see her. We also found out she had made the screen and the radio. She also told us Edward Dymon had now become a screen actor. She mentioned about Richard Gildersleeve, Philip Marcus, and Frank Orton, now stage designers for Warner Bros. We wished her luck and as she had a party waiting for her, ran along. We then entered a Shop where Helen Chmura was the supervisor. We saw Madeline Viecelli and Angelina Moshovas sewing on Red Cross garments. We now heard some one laughing. Turning around we saw Mary Zastepa still giggling. As usual Lottie May Jones was walking around with nothing to do. As the plane sped on the storm began to clear and the sunshine peered in the window and woke all of us up. Then we realized that it was all a fantastic dream of our being in the land of 1963. Just after we woke up to this fact the plane was landing once more in Westover Field and we were back in the world of today, 1943, There was John still waiting like a lost sheep. We all left the field and resumed our work, wishing this dream had been true. eee TRADE @ BEAR ———=—=£ | FACULTY OUTING Once or twice a year the Trade teachers wait until all A, B, C, D, and E pupils have gone home and then they congregate for an hour of fun.

The ages of these young people are 14 to 16 and they are required tc attend school one half a day each week. The girls are in charge of Miss Helen Cronin and the boys are taken care of by Mr. George Mack. This school is more or less a social service school. The teacher being required to visit both the home and the place where the pupil is employed. If the worker for any reason loses his job he or she is required to come to Con- tinuation school every day until another job is secured. Many placements are made by the school and through follow-up visits an untold amount of good is accomplished. TRADE @ BEAVER « TRADE’S WAR TRAINING PROGRAM In this war year Trade School made every effort to help in the training of military personnel and civilian workers for indus- try. Much of the training, being of a secret nature, cannot be de- scribed nor can pictures of it be published until final victory is won. Trade School points with pride to its record of over 11,000 workers trained and placed in defense plants. To accomplish this task the school operated around the clock in these eight-hour shifts. Some idea of the detail and immensity of the program may be gained by the following excerpts taken from a handbook that the school had printed for the benefit of these adult pupils.

Burridge, Director The purpose of this handbook is to introduce the school to you and to assist you in making such adjustments as may be helpful. . . you are asked to make allow- ances for the fact that a large number of young students are sharing the building. The parents of these young people are very much concerned about the standards maintained in the school which their boys and girls attend, consequently the impor- tance of order, cleanliness, and discipline in the rooms and shops, in the corridors and on the school grounds . . . the end that Trade School will be a better school because you have been a member of it. WAR PRODUCTION TRAINING Thomas J]. Morrison, Supervisor During July, 1940, the Springfield Trade School began training people for National Defense industries. These courses were in session twenty-four hours a day for seven days a week. For those employed in non-essential work and wishing to secure training in war production work, classes are held in machine work from 3 to 7 P. M., 7 to 11 P. M. on Mondays through Fridays and 1 to 9 P. M. on Saturdays and Sundays. Training in welding and inspecting is given and classes are held from 7 to 11 P. M. Enlisted men from the Aberdeen Proving grounds have been sent to us for training in machine shop practice and related subjects. Classes for these soldiers are being conducted in the Trade School Annex at 495 Union Street, and Technical High School on Spring Street, Charles Coombs, Head Instructor. In addition, Air Borne Engineers from Westover and Bradley Fields are being trained.

T. training and the Training Director of Westover Field Sub- Depot. The probability of using the facilities of the Trade School were discussed and it was decided by common agreement that Westover Field Sub-Depot would be granted the privilege of using various shops and equipment distributed in the Trade School. Complete cooperation to the two aforementioned bodies with the administrative heads of the Trade School, have made it possible to successfully enlarge these shops, and also the program being presented by this aircraft section.

SSS TRADE @ BEAVER BE BASEBALL The Beavers opened their season with successive wins over Holyoke Trade, Commerce and Westfield Trade. Capt. Mitch Stanek set a new interschool strike- out record by setting 25 Commerce players down on strikes. Trade then tied Ludlow and later snapped back into the victory column by walloping Tech 19 to 0. Trade was finally turned down to defeat when Classical beat them 5 to 3. The Beavers had another winning streak of four games. They had victories over Cathedral, Westfield Trade, Commerce and Tech. For the sec- ond time Classical pinned a defeat on Trade. The score of this game was 2 to 1. In the final game of the season Cathedral defeated Trade 1 to 0. Mitch Stanek only allowed one hit in this game. Leading the Beavers throughout the season was Mitch Stanek, Ed. Bailans, Bernie Cawley and Harry McMahon. Mitch was one of the leading pitchers in Western Mass. He was a very good player and a pretty good hitter in the pinches. Ed. Bailans, who performed at shortstop, was the team’s leading hitter and was one of the better shortstops in the city. Bernie Cawley was one of the best out- fielders in this section and was noted for his speed on bases. Harry McMahon, who played in the hot corner, was a heads up ball throughout the season. Very seldom would you see a ball get by Harry while he was out there on the diamond.

A light and inexperienced Trade eleven lost to Agawam and Turners Falls. These teams were two of the top ranking teams in this section. Trade defeated Westfield and Commerce and tied both Classical and Enfield. The City League was broken up for the 1943 season because Tech and Cath- edral habitually had too much power and weight over Classical, Commerce and Trade. A new league was formed and was called “Little Three League” with Classical, Commerce and Trade taking part. Classical and Trade finished in a tie for first place. “Carlie” Dagenais and Capt. “Bunker” Nowill played heads up ball throughout the season. Dagenais could pass, kick and run. He was noted as one of the better ball carriers in this section. Nowill was a hard hitting lineman. He played well both on defense and offense. As a reward these two fellows received the honor of making the “All City Team”. The Beaver squad had other consistent players to boast of. Among those being “Bernie” Zayons crashing tackle.

The games were played on an out- door rink built by the park department on Diamond No. 2 at Forest Park. Each team played two games and then after several postponements it was decided to call it off for the season and possibly for the duration. At the close of the season Charles Ghedi, a senior from the print department, was elected captain.

Plumb, Coach. Springfield Trade’s basketball team wound up its 1942 season with a record of five wins and seven losses. One of Ted’s many disappointments was when Marino Martini had an infected elbow during the middle of the season and was forced out of action until the last game of the season. Throughout the course of the season many outstanding plays were developed. The most outstanding of these was Stan Strycharz, captain, forward, and high point man on the team and also high scorer in Inter-School Competition. The Beavers’ schedule consisted of 12 games, playing each team except Chic- opee and the Alumni twice. The Beavers were defeated twice by Classical and Tech. These three teams were three of the ranking teams in this section. Trade defeated Commerce and the Alumni and broke even with Westfield Trade and Cathedral.
